robwhy

7:36 am

Trifioso

7:38 am

dan2bit

7:40 am

Trifioso

hokie carla

7:43 am

dan2bit

there is also a re7/32 that comes from the top row, just to make it trickier

7:44 am

hokie carla

I like the restaurant apps that ask if I just want to re7 so I don't have to do it all over.

7:45 am

mael

haha thanks hokie, that did it. And thanks trif and molly for the stats

7:45 am

mael

it's always satisfying to gray out a column

7:45 am

7:46 am

hokie carla

BzznBea

I am missing one R...sigh...

8:03 am

hokie carla

I still have 12 :D

8:04 am

hokie carla

9:49 am

Aloyisius

Hello, Babblers.. hopefully my internet problems are solved. Some magician in cyberspace must have worked on it last night after I called to complain.

9:50 am

hokie carla

hope so!

9:50 am

Aloyisius

I get crabby when I can't Babble, lol

9:50 am

Haz1558

A magician in cyberspace sounds so much nicer than a technician.

9:51 am

Haz1558

I'm glad you've got it sorted out.

9:51 am

Aloyisius

hi Haz.. yes, they put in a work order and told me someone would be here today.. then I get an email asking to confirm "the problem has been solved".. we shall see

9:52 am

Haz1558

I hate trying to explain problems that are technical in nature, I just flounder with the vocabulary and terms needed.

9:53 am

Aloyisius

I know what you mean!

9:54 am

Haz1558

Still, I'm sure they're trained to cope with the less technical among us.

9:55 am

hokie carla

they are, because I usually know all the right terms but they start out talking to me like I'm a third grader

9:56 am

cybernan

good morning everyone :)

9:57 am

Aloyisius

hi nan

9:57 am

Haz1558

That would suit me.

9:57 am

hokie carla

hey nan

9:57 am

Haz1558

Good morning, nan.

9:57 am

hokie carla

they also tell me to do everything I've already done, like restart everything

9:58 am

Aloyisius

when in doubt, reboot!

9:58 am

hokie carla

exactly

9:58 am

Haz1558

Reboot but don't kick.

9:59 am

hokie carla

10:00 am

hokie carla

woot! 1st column now gray!

10:01 am

cybernan

there are so many crazy ways to spell things accepted here that I really don't understand why I can't golph

10:01 am

Aloyisius

10:02 am

hokie carla

I have tried physio 2x. I believe that's what the rest of the world calls physical therapists.

Aloyisius

10:21 am

cybernan

hi zoom

10:24 am

zoozzoom

I am trying some scented oil plug in air fresheners. Tried lavender and now trying lemon. But they smell like stinky washing machine water lol

10:25 am

hokie carla

yeah, I've never like those kinds of things

10:25 am

hokie carla

because they always smell bad

10:25 am

Haz1558

Not what you'd look for in an air freshener.

10:26 am

zoozzoom

I am trying them as I keep smelling cigarette smoke and now a chemical smell like chlorine. So thought I would try something to take the other smells away. Beginning to think I might have phantosmia.

10:27 am

Aloyisius

ooh, I like that word

10:27 am

Haz1558

Is the smell coming from outside?

10:27 am

zoozzoom

I havehad cigarette smoke smells for a very long time. And now it is a chemical smell. Doing my head in lol

10:27 am

cybernan

all those air freshener oils make me sneeze

10:27 am

hokie carla

yikes

10:28 am

zoozzoom

No I have looked into that even had a friend round and he could not smeell anything. I get it round parents house too.

10:28 am

hokie carla

my face masks make me sneeze

10:28 am

Haz1558

Do you have the same smell in your nose when you're outside in the fresh air?

10:29 am

cybernan

do you use fabric softener when you wash or dry them carla?

10:29 am

hokie carla

no, but I do have a golden retriever that constantly sheds

10:29 am

zoozzoom

No I do not, Haz! Only inside my house or parents. The o ly places I go really being a carer.

10:30 am

hokie carla

I think either dog hair or just fabric tickling my nose does it

10:30 am

zoozzoom

Only*

10:30 am

Kaplan the Magne

10:32 am

is the lone E something to do with saying nice things about a dead person?

12:18 pm

moolingwa

yep

12:18 pm

moolingwa

something to do with that :)

12:18 pm

HarryHood

suspected that.

12:19 pm

HarryHood

ok - will try various permutations

12:19 pm

moolingwa

that seems like a good plan

12:20 pm

moolingwa

would have though physio would work

12:21 pm

hokie carla

I have tried physio at least 2x and even commented about tit

12:21 pm

moolingwa

ah, well we are on the same wavelength then

12:21 pm

moolingwa

although I did not comment on tit

12:21 pm

hokie carla

harry, maybe you should try the actual word and not a permutation ;)

12:22 pm

moolingwa

though tits are related to the chickadees and titmouses that we have here in the US :)

12:22 pm

HarryHood

oh duh. I didn't even see the Y.

12:22 pm

hokie carla

I'm sure you know we don't use physio here, but I watch a lot of tennis so I know the rest of the world does.

12:23 pm

moolingwa

physiolugy :)

12:24 pm

HarryHood

anybody have stats for that lone R please?

12:26 pm

hokie carla

re7/32

12:27 pm

HarryHood

ty carla. nbt :)

12:27 pm

hokie carla

I think I just typed it thinking all the letters were there jumbled, not sure where it originates, but surely is there

12:27 pm

cybernan

hi again - 45 to go

12:27 pm

moolingwa

hey nan, happy Tuesday

12:28 pm

cybernan

hi there mool

12:28 pm

moolingwa

going to be about 37/38C here today

12:29 pm

HarryHood

just got back from the beach with the kiddos

12:29 pm

moolingwa

how was the beach?

12:29 pm

HarryHood

terrific

12:29 pm

HarryHood

really good waves

12:29 pm

moolingwa

groovy

12:29 pm

moolingwa

I do miss the beach

12:30 pm

moolingwa

but the mountains are pretty cool

12:30 pm

HarryHood

I think I would choose mountains over beach in general

12:30 pm

moolingwa

and so I have

12:31 pm

moolingwa

but grew up near the coast, have lived a good part of my life near various oceans

12:31 pm

hokie carla

we are leaning toward mountains over beach but are trying to figure out how to do both when we are empty nesters

12:31 pm

moolingwa

New Zealand can give you both hoke :)

12:31 pm

HarryHood

poway area in south cali offers both nearby

12:31 pm

HarryHood

well small mountains

12:32 pm

moolingwa

yes, though Cali is very expensive to live nowadays, a lot of people too

12:32 pm

moolingwa

and the water isn't very warm for most of California

12:32 pm

hokie carla

we were thinking more of beach house + lot in fancy motor coach resort in the mountains.

12:32 pm

HarryHood

and fires. and mudslides.

12:32 pm

hokie carla

yeah, mr. homie has said he will never do cali

12:32 pm

HarryHood

east coast beach then?

12:32 pm

moolingwa

South Carolina/Northern Georgia have some nice beaches that are relatively affordable still

12:33 pm

hokie carla

he does want to move out of this country but NZ seems a wee bit far away.

12:33 pm

moolingwa

though you will get the occasional Hurricane

12:33 pm

moolingwa

You could go Belize

12:33 pm

HarryHood

theres some lovely beaches in baja california, but it sounds like things have gotten a bit dicey there since my traveling days

12:33 pm

cybernan

montana gives you mountains and lakes with beaches :)

12:33 pm

hokie carla

yes, two of my friends have beach houses at Sunset Beach, NC, if we got one anywhere it would probably be there.

12:34 pm

MollyL

I used to vacation in Cape Cod as a kid. It's beautiful there.

12:34 pm

MollyL

Montana gives you hip deep snow in the winter.

12:34 pm

moolingwa

haven't been to Cape Cod, did spend a little time in Martha's Vineyard though

12:34 pm

HarryHood

we were just in cape cod for a few days

12:34 pm

cybernan

snow can be fun, molly

12:34 pm

hokie carla

one of my camping friends' parents own a cottage in cape cod and it's kind of a running joke in our group because she talks about it and going there ALL THE TIME

12:34 pm

HarryHood

never been to the vineyard or nantucket though

12:35 pm

MollyL

Not for me Nan. I have no use for the stuff.

12:35 pm

origami

Can someone please give me the stats for the right column e?

12:35 pm

moolingwa

I like snow, though we don't typically get more than 3 inches at a time

12:35 pm

moolingwa

eu6/33

12:35 pm

origami

Thanks, mool

12:35 pm

cybernan

I like the 4 seasons as long as the winter isn't too long or too cold --- what I would never do is live in hurricane or tornado territory.

12:35 pm

moolingwa

yw ori

12:35 pm

hokie carla

I have only been to Acadia (which is awesome) and another stop in ME at the ocean (can't rem. the town name) north of NC

12:36 pm

HarryHood

old orchard beach

12:36 pm

MollyL

Carla, vacationing in Cape Cod is a status thing for New England people. My Mom was from the Boston area and she thought it was hot shit to go there.

12:36 pm

moolingwa

Oh yeah, acadia is cool, took the ferry over to Nova Scotia

12:36 pm

moolingwa

Maine coast is pretty unique

12:36 pm

hokie carla

I used to love snow and tell my mom all the time when I was a kid that I was moving to Alaska. now, I would be fine living in a warmer winter environment.

12:36 pm

HarryHood

but swimming can be a little..chilly

12:37 pm

wvteach

Love Nova Scotia. Such a variety of types of beaches and the northern part gives you the hills (mountains) and forests (Cape Breton)

12:37 pm

moolingwa

Winter is relatively mild here in Colorado

12:37 pm

moolingwa

still we can get snow in any month from September to May

12:37 pm

HarryHood

we had a plan to tour nova scotia this summer before covid came

12:37 pm

origami

I have a friend who grew up in Denver and told me you can experience 4 seasons in a day there

12:38 pm

hokie carla

my camping friend is not even a New Englander, but she loves Cape Cod!

12:38 pm

MollyL

COVID, the ruiner of graduations, proms, weddings and vacations.

12:38 pm

hokie carla

yep

12:38 pm

HarryHood

meh. cape cod is good for a vacation now and then

12:38 pm

hokie carla

and funerals

12:39 pm

HarryHood

the real money is in kennebunkport

12:39 pm

cybernan

We went to NS last fall - in the middle of a hurricane but the people were very friendly and lots of natural beauty to enjoy. Maybe the border will be open next year harry.

12:39 pm

HarryHood

hope so nan

12:40 pm

MollyL

I thought the money was on Martha's Vineyard.

12:40 pm

hokie carla

oh, the other area of ME I couldn't remember was Scarborough/Old Orchard Beach

12:40 pm

cybernan

we wanted to do the panama canal cruise, but don't think we'll be getting on any cruise ships for a couple of years at least.

12:40 pm

HarryHood

we were in OOB for a week a few years ago. lots of french canadians

12:41 pm

HarryHood

60 to go.

12:42 pm

hokie carla

we didn't notice any. it was funny, we rode our bikes to the beach from the campground and then decided to take this road parallel to the ocean and ended up at the OOB boardwalk. It was a surprise and we had a lot of fun.

12:42 pm

hokie carla

someone won a basketball so then I had to buy a tote bag to get it back on our bikes. :D

12:42 pm

HarryHood

it's kind of the jersey shore of new england

12:43 pm

hokie carla

was about to say I've never been to the jersey shore but we did go to a wedding at Spring Lake or something in NJ on the beach. it didn't seem too bad there.

12:43 pm

MollyL

Does it have a Stone Pony and a Springsteen?

12:44 pm

HarryHood

yeah - it's got it's own charm

12:44 pm

HarryHood

jersey shore is not all bad, as molly says

12:44 pm

MollyL

Bet it doesn't have a South Side Johnny

12:45 pm

HarryHood

or tony soprano

12:48 pm

HarryHood

ah got the 8

12:49 pm

hokie carla

I still don't! is it compound? do something again?

12:49 pm

HarryHood

1:01 pm

swmbo

I mostly don't finish unless it is 100 or under. Can't spend the time. Also I don't play competitively, so if I have to list or not finish I don't mind. Purely relaxation.

1:03 pm

hokie carla

I like to finish to see which words I missed or which words I don't know and then hopefully can remember them next time.

1:05 pm

cybernan

re 7/36 please?

1:08 pm

origami

Hard for me to clue - ends in French for ground.

1:09 pm

cybernan

ground as in minced or ground as in the earth

1:10 pm

origami

ground as earth

1:11 pm

cybernan

ty ori

1:11 pm

you're welcome

1:13 pm

1:16 pm

cybernan

carla - it ends like the french umbrella

1:18 pm

hokie carla

french never works for me, but thanks. will just try when I go to list.

1:18 pm

cybernan

the lacy little umbrella ladies used to protect themselves from the sun?

1:20 pm

hokie carla

oh yes, I do know that word, and that was the ending I was trying based on molly's use of "disinfectant".

1:20 pm

cybernan

it is also the ending of re 7/36

1:20 pm

periwinkle

did I miss a clue for he re8?

1:23 pm

1:23 pm

hokie carla

in poker, you can either call, fold, or * by adding extra. then when it comes back around you can do it again by adding more.

1:23 pm

cybernan

or hoisted again

1:23 pm

periwinkle

I have re6/18

1:24 pm

cybernan

1:25 pm
