7:17 am

Deeha

at least we havent got any re words today. I hate them. Can never understand why you can re some verbs and not others

7:17 am

MollyL

I agree. A lot of the Babble re words make no sense to me.

7:17 am

Flask1

re, is an absolute nightmare for me...

7:24 am

BzznBea

Morning, friends.

7:25 am

jmcnrick

howdy bzzn

7:26 am

MollyL

Miss Bea is here. Miss Bea! Miss Bea! Can you see me in The Magic Mirror? I've been a good little Do-Bee.

7:27 am

BzznBea

LOL!

7:27 am

Flask1

hi Bzzn...

7:28 am

MollyL

Every time you say "morning, friends" it reminds me of Romper Room.

7:30 am

jmcnrick

I remember the Magic Mirror but not the morning, friends

7:30 am

MollyL

And speaking of kids shows in the '60's...did you ever wonder...what was Captain Kangaroo the captain of?

7:31 am

BzznBea

I loved Captain Kangaroo.

7:32 am

BzznBea

Mr. Moose was my favorite.

7:33 am

MollyL

Mr. Moose, Bunny Rabbit and the ping pong balls!

7:33 am

BzznBea

I would hoot every time those ping pong balls fe..

7:33 am

BzznBea

fell

7:35 am

jmcnrick

I always assumed he was Captain of a steamboat. That is what his uniform looked like to me.

7:36 am

jmcnrick

I liked Bun Rabbit.

7:38 am

MollyL

Grandfather Clock was a little creepy

7:41 am

BzznBea

Looks like odyssey is my phantom today.

7:42 am

MollyL

My Life Long Travels: The Odyssey of a Vagrant by Ho Bow

7:45 am

jzw

Captain Kangaroo was my first hearthrob...

7:50 am

jzw

Anyone remember Crusader Rabbit or Tom Terrific and His Mighty Dog Manfred?

7:50 am

BzznBea

Neer heard of them. jzw.

7:52 am

BzznBea

Googled them. They were before my time just a wee bit.

7:53 am

jzw

I guess that ages me...I think Tom Terrific was played during Capn Kang.

7:54 am

jmcnrick

Tom Terrific? Absolutely. I wish I could duplicate his sound here.

7:54 am

BzznBea

Yes, that what wikipedia said.

7:55 am

jmcnrick

didn't he say he had to rev up his rotor tail?

7:56 am

MollyL

I loved Tom Terrific

7:56 am

Calllie

And please donâ€™t forget Ragland T. â€œRagsâ€ Tiger!

7:57 am

MollyL

Crabby Appleton...great villain

7:59 am

Lots of diferent words today.

8:18 am

Scrabbler

Hey kids.

8:18 am

BzznBea

Hello, Scrabs.

8:19 am

Scrabbler

How are you today, Bea?

8:21 am

BzznBea

I'm good. Thanks. Finally realizing "this" is going to go on for a while so I better just deal with it.

8:22 am

Scrabbler

The pandemic?

8:22 am

BzznBea

Yes.

8:23 am

Scrabbler

For the first 7-8 weeks I had intense anxiety, then the sadness and acceptance his me. Yes, this virus may plague us forever, but I am hoping for an effective vaccine, even we have to receive it yearly.

8:25 am

bichon

Comforting Scrabs

8:26 am

MollyL

Wow, I just read that 1/3 of people interviewed said they would not get a COVID vaccine if it became available. This was on CNN so I give it a little credence.

8:26 am

Scrabbler

Well, we need hope that scientists will help with this crisis.

8:27 am

BzznBea

Those are probably the same 1/3 that think it is a hoaz and won't wear mosks.

8:27 am

MollyL

On a more humorous note, people are breaking out in their mask area and it is being referred to as "maskne"
: D

8:27 am

Scrabbler

I have read that people question the safety of a rapidly produced vaccine. Fear of this virus vs fear of a vaccine, which is stronger?

8:28 am

MollyL

I can understand people being afraid of a rapidly produced, not widely tested vaccine

8:29 am

Scrabbler

Yes.

8:31 am

BzznBea

I was finally able to get my second shingles shot.

8:31 am

BzznBea

Glad that is over!

8:32 am

BzznBea

Now it is on to a colonoscopy...=(

8:33 am

ursh

yuck bzzn - colonoscopy not so bad - its the pre-treatment that I dread

8:34 am

BzznBea

Yes, me too.

8:34 am

Scrabbler

Yes, the prep is the worst.

8:34 am

BzznBea

I have a hard time with low blood sugar when I

8:35 am

BzznBea

I'm not eating.

8:35 am

MLFAN17

i didn't know their was a shot for shingles?

8:37 am

MLFAN17

hello

8:37 am

BzznBea

Cheers.

8:37 am

Scrabbler

Yes, MLFAN, called Shingrix. It is far more effective than the previous shingles vaccine.

8:38 am

MLFAN17

my grandmother had shingles around earlier 2000

8:38 am

i think harry's right .. this might be a little bit nasty this grid

10:15 am

i think i have to cave in and go to the list.. i'm lost today on this one

10:15 am

moolingwa

Yeah, not even halfway yet

10:51 am

cybernan

good morning everyone :)

10:53 am

rururocks

hi nan

10:54 am

cybernan

are you back in lock down mode, ru?

10:55 am

rururocks

not here .. but a lot of California is again

10:57 am

cybernan

it's going to be a rough summer, I'm afraid

10:57 am

rururocks

yeah.. i think so.. a lot of dumb people not getting with the program

10:57 am

cybernan

so far the tourists have been staying away from here, but that won't last long --- seeing more motorhomes every day.

11:00 am

MollyL

What is the problem with motor homes?

11:01 am

cybernan

they bring people from covid infested areas to our area which at the moment is pretty much covid free

11:08 am

dcseain

we're anxious here because our governor wants to move the whole commonwealth into phase 3, and though our cases are declining, we're the highest population region that had the highest case load.

11:13 am

dcseain

and, yeah a rough summer indeed.

11:15 am

cybernan

these a's are brutal

11:15 am

MollyL

We are only just beginning to see the effects of this. Unemployment is the highest it has been since The Depression. People are out of work and are going to start running out of money.

11:15 am

dcseain

agreed, molly

11:15 am

dcseain

and nan, yeah tough grid

11:19 am

cybernan

you would think that people who could afford it would dig a little deeper and help out, but it never seems to occur to so many people. I was chatting with neighbours the other day and mentioned that there weren't any of us in our gated community who couldn't afford to sign over the $300 cheque our government is sending all retirees to the food bank and they all looked at me as if I was crazy. I don't think there is one of us who is spending their income right now!

11:21 am

MollyL

There are very few generous people these days.

11:23 am

cybernan

I think people are going to have to realize that those that can need to help out if we as a society are going to get through the next couple of years. Either that or the government will have to force it through taxation.

11:25 am

bichon

I don't think that will go over well in the US

11:26 am

cybernan

especially when you have a president that wants to pull what little medicare you have

11:27 am

MollyL

It is not just a matter of The President. It is a matter of the wealthy wanting to stay wealthy.

11:27 am

bichon

The US and taxation don't get along

11:28 am

cybernan

and higher taxes never go over well anywhere - but sometimes it becomes necessary - whatever happened to social responsibility?

11:28 am

MollyL

Ooo, let's have another Tea Party.

11:28 am

bichon

Depends where you are in the US, but the Midwest and South not so much

11:29 am

MollyL

As in The Boston Tea Party, not that dim conservatives club

11:30 am

MollyL

People will get out there and protest that lives matter, but when it comes to actually sharing the wealth, that is a different story.

11:31 am

cybernan

someone should tell the wealthy that they can die from this too -- and as long as they don't look after the less fortunate, it is more likely that they will.

11:33 am

bichon

Canada and the US are so different

11:34 am

rururocks

anyone able to clue the ga 7?

11:35 am

rururocks

this grid is stumping me today

11:35 am

cybernan

don't have it, but will look

11:35 am

cybernan

still struggling with the c's

11:40 am

MollyL

ga7...start like fast animal and end with the opposite of depression

11:40 am

cybernan

found it, but don't know how to clue it other than spelling it out

11:41 am

MollyL

Some kind of African flower. Bea The Master Gardener probably saw it right away

11:42 am

felicitas

hello from canada

11:42 am

MollyL

Sorry, the end of the opposite of depression. Which is also the last four of Pittsburgh's state.

11:43 am

rururocks

thank you very much molly

11:43 am

rururocks

wow.. couldn't find that to save my life

11:44 am

MollyL

It is those kind of words that usually make me say "And that's all the Babble for today"

11:46 am

rururocks

the a's g's and c's are terrible today

11:49 am

Wendrie

12:00 pm

dcseain

12:01 pm

Wendrie

Hi hurshy - I usually dip in and out and don't always chat. I've got more time than usual at the moment...

12:01 pm

cybernan

annoying that I can't find that gr 8 when I know the first 4 letters

12:01 pm

dcseain

it sounds italian, fwiw

12:01 pm

Wendrie

Nan - it's a musical direction

12:02 pm

dcseain

off to run an errand, back later

12:02 pm

hurshy

does it mean to play thankfully?

12:03 pm

hurshy

name that proper noun! The Usual Suspect

12:03 pm

rururocks

loudly hursh

12:03 pm

Wendrie

well yes - but only because I've not got work, so it's not all good

12:03 pm

jan

Ah, the Italian clue helped!

12:03 pm

rururocks

maybe not

12:03 pm

rururocks

ah.. means flowingly

12:04 pm

rururocks

time to get to work here.. have fun folks thank you for the clue molly you saved my day

12:04 pm

cybernan

and here I always thought flowingly was ligato

12:05 pm

cybernan

oh well - will come back to it later maybe -- have had about enough of this one

12:07 pm

jan

Me, too. When it becomes a chore, it isn't fun anymore. So, I'm going to get back to household duties and leave this one be.

12:15 pm

12:42 pm

hurshy

i saw a tabloid at the store saying Kate Middleton is pregnant with baby #4 - anyone know if that's for real?

12:45 pm

cybernan

that will cause some annoyance in the UK -- there was a suggestion at one time that the royals should limit their families to 2 kids -- fewer of them for the public to support, I guess. Although they certainly have enough money of their own.

12:45 pm

hurshy

i don't think the kids are the real revenue guzzlers... i would think building maintenance is more costly

12:48 pm

cybernan

ag 7 please?

12:48 pm

hurshy

the condition or not knowing

12:48 pm

hurshy

*OF not knowing

12:49 pm

cybernan

thought that was ignorance

12:49 pm

hurshy

well it is. but think of a word for a person who doesn't know if they believe in God and then change the ending

12:50 pm

hurshy

12:55 pm

cybernan

cannot find the ending for the one that begins like the unbeliever

12:56 pm

hurshy

it's the same ending as the condition where you have memory loss

12:56 pm

Atalante

same as the ending of the food of the gods

12:56 pm

hurshy

i always think that must be peach nectar :D

12:56 pm

MollyL

And the same ending as the food that the Gods can't remember

12:56 pm

1:55 pm

moolingwa

1:55 pm

The ga7 is a south African plant genus with showy flowers. Starts with the same 4 letters as the following word, ends like the ac7.

2:18 pm

mkg

dont recall trifs last name

2:19 pm

mkg

gandosia

2:20 pm

MollyL

Not her last name..."end of Babbler Trif's name"

2:21 pm

mkg

sorry not getting the last name. dont remember it.

2:21 pm

mkg

2:22 pm

mkg

off to work.

2:26 pm

jmcnrick

you can look it up on rankings mkg

2:29 pm

MollyL

Again, it is not her last name. It is the end of her name. Trif is not her name.

2:30 pm

jmcnrick

no matter molls mkg has gone off to work. I am still working on the south african flower myself

2:30 pm

jmcnrick

*molls a lemonade"

2:31 pm

2:31 pm

MollyL

No, I love lemonade on a hot summer day, thanks.

2:32 pm

2:32 pm

Gillie

I think you also need to change a vowel, Atalante

2:33 pm

Atalante

oh good point :)

2:33 pm

jmcnrick

hahaha

2:34 pm

Gillie

The ga7 isn't one I'd heard of before. If you've got the following ga5 (which is a fabric, but also not a common word), then you're pretty close.

2:47 pm

Gillie

Oh, apparently they're commonly known as either treasure flowers or African daisies.
