No, no easing yet. :( I'm very sad I can't go to Australia - if you refresh the page, you should see a picture of Matilda Grace. My granddaughter.

Apparently, you can snatch a canine as well
7:23 am
BzznBea
Thanks for that, Molly.
7:24 am

That is what happens when you just blindly type in words that seem ridiculous because well, you know, Enable.
7:24 am
BzznBea
Did you look up The Little Purple Thang yesterday?
7:25 am
MollyL
Of course I did. Google is a marvelous thing.
7:26 am

Did you buy a couple? =)
7:26 am
BzznBea
That woman who came up with that is rich, I tell ya!
7:27 am

No, sewing and I are like oil and water. We don't mix well. I leave that to the talented, like you.

I am just fine, thanks for asking. Was supposed to go on a bus trip today with a group of old people but of course it was cancelled. We will all get our money back
7:36 am
BzznBea
How many days have you been under stay at home? Do you remember?
7:37 am

not sure 3-4 weeks. seems like forever. only go out for food. but did get to the laundromat on Mon.
7:38 am
periwinkle
cleaned the bedroom yesterday. may clean the bathroom. will keep you all posted -)
7:38 am
BzznBea
Our SIP started on March 30. I know my mom and husband had been staying home longer than that and I was only going out for groceries and the pharmacy. But yes, It does seem like forever.
7:40 am
BzznBea
I should clean as well, but always find other things to do instead.
7:40 am
Judi
Good morning, all. THANK YOU, Peri. It's updates like that that keep us all hanging on. Please don't skimp on the details (swiffer or rag, mop or scrub brush, etc.)
7:40 am
MollyL
I can tell by the pick up in traffic that people here are tiring of staying at home and have gone back to work. I imagine some who are considered essential but were working from home.
7:40 am
periwinkle
I rarely clean.
7:40 am

Morning, welki.

This past weekend I cleaned out two "junk" drawers, and set aside several pairs of shoes and some clothes to donate to Goodwill. Geesh. I swear that stuff spawns in the closets.
7:42 am
MollyL
People who live around me seem made of money. I have never seen so many home repairs going on. Roofing, window work, etc.
7:44 am
BzznBea
I don't see any repairs going on in my ratty neighborhood but my grocery store is on the same parking lot as Lowe's Home Improvement. It is always packed!
7:45 am
Judi
I think those who are working from home are taking advantage of being able to babysit contractors - and stimulous money.
7:45 am
periwinkle
help with I under the W pls
7:45 am
BzznBea
I think my husband spent a total of $100 on his shed. Most of the wood was reclaimed or some he had stacked elsewhere.

Plus, with all this time on our hands, we are tackling those dreaded DIY projects, or at least we should be ( said as I glare pointedly at my husband).
7:48 am

I'm always looking around in the garage for my garden tools until I remember they are in the shed on the back.
7:52 am

Off to do some work. BBL.

I'm wondering what the surge on the travel industry is going to be like once all those frequent flyers are able to jet around again.
7:54 am
BzznBea
It will be crazy!
7:54 am
BzznBea
Especially if it opens up before the summer.
7:55 am
BzznBea
I asked my mom what she wanted to do with her stimules money. She wants to save it so she can make a trip back to Kansas. Bless her heart.
7:55 am
welki
my youngest daughter and her family had booked flights here for early july - i think they'll have to reschedule
7:56 am

And that seems so far away, doen't it, welki?

bichon
I already had to cancel a trip to CA to see grands
7:56 am
MollyL
Well I hope Matty is able to get a plane ticket to see that new grandbaby. It must be awful not being able to go.
7:57 am
welki
it does, bea - three months ago, i could have been heard complaining how fast the days are going by. not so much today
7:57 am
BzznBea
I'm sure she was bedise herself not getting there, especially since there seemed to be some trouble with the birth.
7:59 am
BzznBea
My cats are mad because the sun isn't out this morning. They have no place to take their baths and naps.
7:59 am
welki
yeah, looks like she arrived a few weeks early
7:59 am
mattygroves
It is. I have the travel vouchers from the cancelled trip in May, so the minute travel restrictions are lifted, I'll be there like a shot!
7:59 am
BzznBea
Welki, do you get to talk to or FaceTime your grands?
7:59 am

And yeah, the whole emergency C-section, resuscitation and so forth was very dramatic, but Tilly has been moved from ICU to High Dependency so we're all cautiously optimistic
8:00 am
hokie carla
yikes, matty
8:00 am
BzznBea
Me too, welki. I love FaceTimeing with my grands.
8:00 am
welki

8:00 am
bichon
hoping for the best, Matty
8:01 am
mattygroves
Tilly was due on 5 May and weighed at birth 7.2 pounds, but, because of the fetomaternal hemorrhage had to be resuscitated and cooled. There is a chance of organ and brain damage but again, the signs are encouraging
8:02 am
BzznBea
Matty, congratulations on Tilly Grace. I'm sure you were a nervous wreck. Sounds like they have her care well in hand.
8:02 am
Lizlin
Congratulations Matty. Lovely news and cute names. Sorry the whole experience was so dramatic for your daughter. Hope it’s not too long before you can get over here to visit them
8:02 am

Thanks Bea....never heard of it....lol
8:23 am
hokie carla
oh that corner! I was going the other way and couldn't figure out what Bea was saying to do
8:24 am
BzznBea
Speaking of nightmares...I dreamed I was back in college...OY!
8:24 am
hokie carla
finished our puzzle last night. 4 pieces were missing, and it was brand new!
8:25 am
hokie carla
btw, I dislike today's grid more than yesterday's
8:27 am
BzznBea
LOL! My friend shared that she had finished a puzzle. It was missing two pieces. The dog had eaten them.
8:29 am
hokie carla
to be honest, I pulled 3 things out of the dogs mouth while working on it. 2 of them were circular and much thicker - I'm pretty sure they were the little dots on the bottom of the chair legs to keep them from scratching the floor. the 3rd thing though could have been a puzzle piece but was unrecognizable
8:29 am
hokie carla
but that leaves 3 missing pieces. every time I knocked some off I picked them up.
8:31 am
chrisk
Good morning everyone. I have had pets that would sneak pieces off the table when no one was looking.
8:32 am
hokie carla
good morning. interesting theory. it's possible because this puzzle smelled really bad and my dog loves stinky stuff.
8:33 am
BzznBea
Chrisk, are you getting a lot of hand work done during this time?
8:36 am
MLFAN17
hokie I didn't like yesterday's grid either. Today's isn't any better?
8:36 am
hokie carla
what are you going to do on this rainy day, bea?
8:36 am
hokie carla
nope, mlfan, I think it's worse
8:37 am
hokie carla
I have 44 left and kinda stuck
8:37 am
MLFAN17
usually this size range isn't good
8:38 am
BzznBea
I have to go brave the grocery store and the pharmacy. Then I think I will see if I can get the string quilt blocks finished and together today. Will need to scrounge around for some border and backing fabric...
8:38 am
hokie carla
that tree is the oakiest of the trees (not a word)
8:39 am

good luck with all that! I am making a quilt sandwich for my mom's mother's day quilt and getting started on that.
8:39 am
MLFAN17
sounds like a fun day bzz?
8:40 am
BzznBea
I maybe could get plants in pots out under the carport...
8:40 am

HOw big is the quilt, Carla? What pattern did you use?
8:40 am
hokie carla

8:42 am
MLFAN17
4th column p stats pls?
8:42 am
hokie carla
well, it's about twin size so I don't know what my mom will do with it. in 2018 I bought this town square mystery quilt my LQS was participating in. made this one with that pattern but with my stash.
8:42 am
BzznBea
Yes, mlf, that word has been surprising a lot of people today.
8:43 am

i am working on the 8 right now
8:45 am
hokie carla
we need to have a quilting bee :D
8:45 am
MLFAN17
what is a mystery quilt?
8:46 am
BzznBea
Yes, I just take scraps and sew them on a muslin foundation. I've been sewing them on the diagonal. Then square it up to 8.5".
8:46 am
MollyL
It's a mystery
8:47 am
BzznBea
They give you the pattern and the directions but you don't know what the end quilt will look like,
8:47 am
MollyL
No wait, it is a quilt made by Nancy Drew
8:47 am
hokie carla
a mystery quilt is you get the fabric and they give you instructions on how to cut it, then each week or month they give you a clue for sewing the blocks and then when all the clues are done, you have a finished top
8:47 am

that's really ineresting
8:47 am
MLFAN17
interesting
8:48 am
hokie carla
from my experience with this one, you should finish one before using your stash with the pattern because this one ended up a little busy since I picked stuff before knowing how it would go together. but it's blues and flowers which my mom likes.
8:48 am
chrisk
Yes Bea - I am getting lots of stitching done. Mostly wool appliqué - I took what was supposed to be a lap sized quilt and turned the individual 8 squares into wall hangings to give as Christmas gifts. I'm also working a wall sized piece that is all wool.
8:48 am
BzznBea
My string quilt is down in strips of brights...pinks, greens yellows, oranges.
8:49 am
hokie carla
I have one from 2019 that I haven't even started and I wasn't in the FB group so I don't know what this finished pattern looks like.
8:49 am
BzznBea
I figured you were doing your wool applique, chrisk.
8:50 am
MLFAN17
hokie in the fb group who chooses the pattern everyone works on?
8:50 am
BzznBea
Carla, some of your blocks might be the wo8.80.
8:51 am
hokie carla
ah, they are. :D thought it prob had that tile and ended that way but wasn't seeing it
8:52 am
MLFAN17
oh geez i wasn't even thinking even though i knew the last two letters were there
8:52 am
hokie carla
I have a king size Kaffe mystery quilt top almost finished and I had to use freezer paper to square most of the blocks up they were so wo5
8:53 am
hokie carla
just one w left now
8:53 am
chrisk
The big piece I am doing is by designer Maggie Bonanomi and is titled Tavern House.
8:54 am
MLFAN17
what time from do the quilts have to be done in?
8:54 am
BzznBea
Carla, do a pinterest search for string quilts and you will see what I've been working on. I may even do another one in red, white and blue.
8:55 am
hokie carla
I will have to check it out!
8:55 am
MLFAN17
bzz for the red white and blue quilt what size would it be?
8:56 am
hokie carla
well, a lot of people finish them as soon as the last clue comes, mlfan, but this one is from last year.
8:56 am
BzznBea
chrisk, that is a wonderful pattern. I love the primitives.
8:56 am
MLFAN17
hokie ohh
8:57 am
BzznBea
I' m not sure how big it will be, mlf. I guess as big as I want to make it.
8:57 am
chrisk
yes - there are a couple of wool appliqué groups on Facebook that I belong to that are primarily primitives. I really enjoy doing them and they are a great stress reliever.

10:29 am
hurshy
since Rilla was snatched by a bird on her first or second day of life, i usually say that she was ki6ed, but i change the D to a T :D
10:33 am
MollyL
I'm sorry a cat was snatched by a bird. I thought it was the other way around.
10:33 am
hurshy
that's what made it so rude
10:34 am
MollyL
The birds finally got mad as hell and they're not going to take it anymore
10:34 am
hurshy
but rilla wiggled real good, and she said, no you don't, birdie! this is not the proper order of nature! I am supposed to be the predator!

Fantastic, Nan!
1:43 pm
cybernan
hi welki
1:44 pm
welki
nan, i just volunteered to work on this - don't know if you'd like to participate, but here's the link:
https://tinyurl.com/ybq8fc5g
1:45 pm
welki
(it's volunteering for covid-19 tracing/tracking in canada - flexible hours, work from home)
1:48 pm
cybernan
how many hours/day, welki
1:50 pm
welki
not sure, but there are part-time positions
1:51 pm
cybernan
are you working on line?
1:51 pm
welki
they asked for preferences, morning, afternoon, evening, off-hours, so not too many, i'd think - you could ask for full time
1:52 pm
welki
i just submitted the application, haven't heard back yet - it's work from home, so there's probably online work, maybe some phone work
1:52 pm
cybernan
lol -- I wouldn't mind doing a couple of hours a day -- but don't think I could manage more than that with everything else I need to accomplish each day --- I'm probably a lot older than people they are accepting anyway
1:52 pm
welki
you can apply for 3, 6, 12 months
1:53 pm
welki
so you're not golfing this year?
1:53 pm
welki
(and we're about the same age, i think)
1:54 pm
welki
i miss volunteering at the animal shelter, have always felt a need to give back to the community - this sounds pretty good, and valuable
1:54 pm
cybernan
just the occasional game - getting to be too much of a fair weather golfer! Not golfing right now because of covid-19
1:55 pm
cybernan
have just finished sewing 8 masks for family members
1:56 pm
cybernan
have to find some elastic before I make more
1:58 pm
welki
it's hard to come by - the gals who sew in quantity here are having a hard time, too
1:59 pm
cybernan
love the icon, btw
1:59 pm
welki
you don't have to use elastic, you can make ties, even out of t-shirt material
2:01 pm
cybernan
yes - in a pinch I will, but like elastic crossing over the head better -- problem is, that style uses 26" per mask
2:03 pm
welki
i have no idea what good pricing would be on elastic, but looks like amazon has some
2:15 pm
cybernan
just checked the volunteer website out -- I think they want more than I can offer.
2:18 pm
cybernan
could do some computer work, but I wouldn't want to go out into the community. We are in the highest risk group both by age and by underlying health conditions.
2:25 pm
cybernan
ei 5/18 please?
2:26 pm
cybernan
nm - found it
2:27 pm

Hi all! I just signed in. Got a message saying there was a data breach on a site or app that exposed my PW. It recommended me to change my Babble password. Did anybody else get that same message when they signed into Babble today? This never happened to me before.
2:47 pm
mo
minver …. I did not get that message. … hope you get it sorted.
2:49 pm

2:59 pm
mo

Minveryork
Wow! It accepts wo4/12 as superlative,but not the da4/9
3:28 pm
mo

3:29 pm
mo
can I be of any help to anyone?
3:38 pm
mo
I will quietly creep away and wish everyone a cheery goodnight …. sleep well … see you tomorrow all being well. Good luck.

The superlative of da4 doesn't include an 'i', I think.
