2:02 pm

lynxxx

I was just going to ask about him...how long has he been there? staying safe - the COVID is bad there I hear

2:03 pm

jmcnrick

He's in actual Ireland where it is a little better. He got there in September and has basically been locked up ever since poor thing. A couple of trips to the pub and another couple to Dublin and then they lock everything down again

2:05 pm

lynxxx

Locking down, shutting borders and masks seems to be the only way to get on top of it - and of course no socialising!

2:07 pm

cybernan

last cr 6 please?

2:07 pm

jmcnrick

yep which kinda defeats the point of studying overseas. Last weekend he had the longest conversation he has had with an Irishman because he had to interview someone for a project at school and that was over the phone

hokie carla

7:11 pm

hurshy

yeah

7:11 pm

hurshy

my this Q situation is rather stumpish

7:12 pm

hokie carla

I think moo found them all or all but one

7:12 pm

hurshy

impressive

7:12 pm

hokie carla

but he probably has all q words memorized due to scrabble

7:14 pm

hurshy

well scrabble you more memorize the Q with no U, but that isn't relevant in babble

7:14 pm

hurshy

do you have the pair that are vowelly in the middle, hokie?

7:14 pm

hokie carla

still nice to know q with u words

7:15 pm

hokie carla

well, the "strange" ones have vowels in the middle

7:16 pm

hurshy

not the ones that MEAN strange, i'm talking about ones that are strange, lol

7:16 pm

hurshy

that come at the beginning of the Qs

7:16 pm

hokie carla

have tried quease several times because queasy

7:17 pm

hurshy

flop the vowels

7:17 pm

hurshy

oh no you need to do more than flop the vowels sorry

7:17 pm

hurshy

also replace that last consonant

7:18 pm

hokie carla

well, I found some weird ones that I assume is what you're talking about

7:20 pm

7:23 pm

hokie carla

mad already at the first set of 3 I missed

7:24 pm

hurshy

it's almost inevitable

7:25 pm

7:26 pm

hurshy

8:05 pm

hurshy

i mean, i'm not hokie, but, just chiming in

8:06 pm

Trifioso

hello friends. oh dear, starting late!

8:06 pm

hokie carla

to remove the air you put in

8:06 pm

hokie carla

hey trif! how was the butterscotch pudding?

8:07 pm

hurshy

thanks hokie!

8:07 pm

hurshy

that finishes the 9s for me

8:07 pm

Trifioso

8:07 pm

hokie carla

drool

8:07 pm

Trifioso

you are so kind to remember, hokie!

8:07 pm

hokie carla

how could I forget something like that? :D

8:08 pm

Trifioso

I am almost sorry about it coming out so well. Now that I have the means to have this delectable treat any time I want, I will have to be so stringent, lest I weigh 600 pounds in a year

8:09 pm

hurshy

that's the conclusion i came to about baking in general

8:09 pm

hokie carla

where did you get the recipe?

8:09 pm

hurshy

and i simply cannot buy Oreos, ever

8:09 pm

hokie carla

did you really get it from Ms. Pattmore?

8:09 pm

Trifioso

new york times

8:09 pm

Trifioso

no no no, I meant I was not giving her enough credit for all the cooking she did.

8:09 pm

Dorens

Wow. Butterscotch pudding was just about my favorite dessert as a kid. I just saw that NY TImes recipe and sent it to my granddaughter yesterday

8:10 pm

hokie carla

I just love butterscotch everything

8:10 pm

hurshy

woot, up to 71 C words now!

8:10 pm

Trifioso

how funny, dorens! It's a winner, for sure!

8:10 pm

Dorens

I can't make stuff like that for myself, but she is an amaing dessert maker and I figure next time Ë†see her she will grace me with it. The recipe looked diviine. also deecadent

8:11 pm

hokie carla

I just wondered if there was a Downton Abbey cookbook out there

8:11 pm

Trifioso

the recipe only calls for egg yolks, so I made meringues with the whites. DH had a great weekend!

8:11 pm

Trifioso

Oh, there probably is! That show was merched unto death

8:11 pm

hokie carla

I mean, I know she is fictional. LOL

8:12 pm

Trifioso

didn't like to say, hokie, LOL

8:12 pm

Dorens

I actually did make the Christmas puddiong recpe from the book though

8:12 pm

wht

Enjoy your decadent desserts. And happy Babbling.

8:13 pm

Trifioso

thank you, wht

8:13 pm

Dorens

It was tasty, but once was enough. I thought I should have to make one at least once in my life. Had to buy beef suet and a bunch of other things

8:13 pm

Dorens

8:13 pm

hokie carla

good night, wht

8:16 pm

72 Temple Owl

8:16 pm

Gillie

My mother had a thick cookbook which had recipes ranging from how to cook possum, how to make turtle soup, and how to make Halloween muffins (make muffins, make icing, color icing orange, etc.)

8:17 pm

Trifioso

hello TO. Do not have it yet, but will look

8:17 pm

72 Temple Owl

Dorens

Hi owl. i only have one andit legitimate

8:18 pm

Dorens

8:18 pm

Trifioso

I got that part, TO. I will look because I don't have it

8:19 pm

hokie carla

I think it's #4, but I had to look it up and also called BS

8:20 pm

Trifioso

I have two so far, both seem silly, actually

8:20 pm

Dorens

it's a she? that is def bs

8:21 pm

Gillie

Merriam-Webster has it, but it does seem silly

8:22 pm

hokie carla

dictionary does say obsolete

8:22 pm

Trifioso

hmmmm now I am very curious!

8:23 pm

72 Temple Owl

it's an avalances of kittens. unusual time of year for them. i am so tempted

8:23 pm

hokie carla

a female who is paid to provide food at parties

8:24 pm

72 Temple Owl

my niece has become a crazy cat lady. it hink it's time for her to get married and have a baby

8:25 pm

72 Temple Owl

her christmas card had her and her boyfriend on one side ant the cat on the other. darned thing actually posed for it.

8:25 pm

Dorens

Well, I did that. long time ago. Right now this kitten is much better than getting married

8:26 pm

Gillie

And, depending on your temperament, babies really can drive you crazy.

8:26 pm

72 Temple Owl

:)

8:27 pm

72 Temple Owl

she loves babies.

8:27 pm

Dorens

Well, kittens can too. I'd forgotten how they want to get into everything you normally keep closed. Don't dare leave closet doors open.

8:27 pm

72 Temple Owl

oh yes. i locked mine in the closed all day while i went to work.

8:28 pm

Dorens

Well these days I

8:28 pm

Dorens

I

8:28 pm

72 Temple Owl

a big hazard i am sure you do not have would be plastic bags. very dangerous. kittens are fun but also work.

8:28 pm

Dorens

m home all day so that doesn't happen

8:29 pm

Gillie

I read once about a couple who shut their 2 cats up in the bathroom while they were out, and came back one day to find the place flooded, with the cats sitting on the bathroom taps.

8:29 pm

Gillie

*bathtub

8:29 pm

72 Temple Owl

akk ny bags accumulated since the epidemic go to the food boank with me to hold the perishables.

8:29 pm

Dorens

I meant having to leave her all day going to work, or anything else. just hikes.. couple hours, and I keep her in her playroom (spare bedroom) with lots of toys etc

8:30 pm

Dorens

Wow. Bathroom flooded. I can imagine

8:30 pm

72 Temple Owl

my cat loved to drink from the tap.

8:31 pm

Trifioso

I am sure the cats were laughing, too.

8:31 pm

72 Temple Owl

but with the faucet i had then could not open it. bow i have levers....

8:31 pm

72 Temple Owl

the female was super smart. the male, not so much

8:32 pm

Dorens

Countless times I've found all the toilet paper strewn around the bathroom. that was other cats. I'm Trying to remember to make that less likely with this little tigress

8:32 pm

Trifioso

I wish I could save this grid and do it tomorrow, when I will have more time.

8:32 pm

Dorens

I started kinda late, agree with you Trif

8:33 pm

hurshy

my opie once was in the tub and accidentally turned the shower on and WHOO was that funny. his tail was SO PUFFED. he was like, what the heck just happened?!?

8:33 pm

Trifioso

hahahaha hurshy!

8:33 pm

72 Temple Owl

i got to 57 left then lost interest, though there were some nice words.

8:34 pm

Dorens

wet cat. surprised cat

8:34 pm

Trifioso

my head is still spinning at the idea of 28 8's and 8 9's!!!!

8:35 pm

Dorens

It was the realization that there were 75 c's that daunted me

8:35 pm

hurshy

yep me too

8:36 pm

72 Temple Owl

i had little trouble with them,

8:36 pm

Trifioso

oh god, hadn't noticed....

8:36 pm

Dorens

all these a's, e's, r's and d's and t's make the 8's more bearable

8:39 pm

Trifioso

have found 11 8s and 3 9s already, feeling highly smug, FMitch level, in fact.

8:39 pm

Dorens

well i have 19 8's and 5 9's and i'm not feeling smug yet

8:40 pm

Dorens

i'm feeling like i've spent an hour on this and that's really all i want to spend. But I do like the challenge

8:41 pm

Trifioso

god help us all - JUST found what I do for a living.....

8:41 pm

Dorens

there are so many lovely gifts in a grid this size/ that one was good for a lot

8:43 pm

72 Temple Owl

my - look at all those re words!

8:47 pm

Dorens

there sure are a lot. but still it's the c's that daunt me

8:47 pm

Trifioso

ha! greyed a tile!

8:47 pm

Dorens

good job. a few more to come

8:48 pm

Trifioso

ah, true

8:49 pm

origami

Can someone please give me a clue for the 5th re 6/21?

8:51 pm

bookwomen

change last letter of 6/18 to last vowel

8:52 pm

Dorens

get back in your garden, ori?
I'm not sure if it's the 5th

8:52 pm

hurshy

plant the field again?

8:52 pm

hurshy

ohhh it's bookwomen's

8:52 pm

hurshy

that was the one missing R

8:52 pm

bookwomen

yw

8:52 pm

Gillie

French - sounds like planting the field again.

8:53 pm

Dorens

i can't count.

8:53 pm

72 Temple Owl

re words.. hate them in a grid this large

8:54 pm

hurshy

i can count, i just didn't have that word! and that made the 6th one appear to be the 5th one

8:54 pm

origami

Hmmm ... I have the plant again

8:54 pm

hurshy

ot

8:54 pm

hurshy

oops

8:54 pm

hurshy

it's the one bookwomen clued, origami

8:54 pm

Gillie

I mean - sounds like a different word for plant again. Means network.

8:55 pm

Dorens

last three letters french water

8:55 pm

Gillie

(Actually, it sounds a little different - with a "z" sound in the middle.)

8:56 pm

Dorens

It is still a good clue, gillie

8:57 pm

origami

Hmmm ... working on it.

8:57 pm

Gillie

bookwomen's clue is the easiest to use

9:02 pm

72 Temple Owl

so many disappeared words... no wonder i am beating my head against the desk

9:02 pm

Trifioso

i am getting sleepy. too late for me

9:02 pm

72 Temple Owl

good night, trif

9:03 pm

Trifioso

night night

9:07 pm

Dorens

night. trif
Yes, Owl I'm noticing more disappearances tonight

9:10 pm

72 Temple Owl

oh well. time to get ready for reading till bedtime.

9:11 pm

72 Temple Owl

and maybe to chase the vaccine. i think i have a good lead to get it within a week or two.

9:11 pm

72 Temple Owl

this business of only getting it at small pharmacies is bs

9:12 pm

72 Temple Owl

so i am going to sign up for the large clinics in the lehigh valley

9:12 pm

Dorens

no. But they will be giving to pharmacies next week.. walgreen's, CVs, etc

9:12 pm

72 Temple Owl

good night, everyone! see you tomorrow.

9:13 pm

Dorens

Sign up everywhere. I actually ended up with two appointments cause i spent so much time looking, Night owl

9:13 pm

72 Temple Owl

dorens: it 's nuts. the pharmacies are giving it to police and city workers when there is already a county site for that. and each sets its own priority list

9:13 pm

origami

Thanks all. I finally got that re 6/21. I didn't see the last letter in the grid :D

9:14 pm

72 Temple Owl

i will. see you!

9:14 pm

Gillie

They can end up throwing out vaccine because of cancelled appointments - don't do that if you can help it.

9:14 pm

Dorens

yw, ori

9:14 pm

Dorens

Oh, of course I cancelled the one I'm not using, Gillie

9:15 pm

Gillie

Okay :)

9:15 pm

72 Temple Owl

gillie: there is a a plan in place for that. some folks get last minute calls, others just wait and hope that happens. it all works out

9:16 pm

72 Temple Owl

i know i will be in the car and there if they call me.

9:17 pm

Dorens

Here we have to sign up with the state, but then are also told to sign up for the mega sites at the county level. I had signed up with each first chance I had. Got emails from each of them a few days apart. The second one that came, I didn't need

9:19 pm

72 Temple Owl

i know, my nj folks are doing okay except they are unable to get the inlaws of west milford- got the mother but not the father. they are well into their eighties.

9:20 pm

72 Temple Owl

my teaching sil is not at all concerned,although she was teaching hybrid.

9:21 pm

72 Temple Owl

they are so worried about them. i would be, too.

9:21 pm

Dorens

I know how it is. I was able to get appointments for my 93 year old mom and her husband. It's ridiculous. I have the time and abillity to spend all day playing games on the computer. It is not an equitable situation for people who don't have the time or the wherewithal

9:22 pm

72 Temple Owl

frankly, the city is doing its own thing under the feds and they are getting it while we wait.

9:22 pm

Dorens

aren't the rates of severe illness and death higher there?

9:23 pm

72 Temple Owl

we sign up with the county and the latest it it will take them a month to even look at your application to see if and when you qualify.

9:23 pm

72 Temple Owl

not lately. actually, my county was the epicenter.

9:24 pm

72 Temple Owl

but it is better right now.

9:24 pm

72 Temple Owl

who knows what tomorrow may bring?

9:24 pm

I turn 65 in June, so will probably have to wait until then. There are a lot of people to vaccinate in CA.

9:24 pm

72 Temple Owl

the feds are setting up there first.

9:25 pm

Dorens

I don't think they did much to check applications here. Once they opened it up to 18 - 64 with conditions, they just flooded the system. The questionnaire asks if you have or had ever had a bunch of conditions. Overweight was one of them. THere was no verification. Crazy

9:25 pm

72 Temple Owl

but that's not your ticket to a quick shot.

9:25 pm

Dorens

June will be here before you know it

9:25 pm

72 Temple Owl

i heard many folks day they are smokers. i do not know if this is true but there are always those who game the system.

9:26 pm

Dorens

I know someone whose children have food allergies. She put down asthma. These teenage kids got it already, before me, or all these older folks we know.

9:26 pm

72 Temple Owl

you will turn 65 but here the many independent providers would vaccinate those older first.

9:26 pm

origami

I hope so, Dorens.

9:27 pm

72 Temple Owl

i know. i work in a food pantry. most are okay but there's always one. or two. their problem

9:27 pm

Dorens

Once in a while old age has its benefits

9:28 pm

72 Temple Owl

PA website map was not even working yesterday. why can't they just list the providers?

9:28 pm

origami

I'm in the last vaccination tier for CA. The kids and young adults come before me.

9:28 pm

72 Temple Owl

interesting.

9:29 pm

Dorens

Really? Not in NJ you wouldn't be.

9:29 pm

72 Temple Owl

i joke about getting a job in shoprite///

9:30 pm

Dorens

My son and d-i-l work in libraries out there, ori. They are given some priority, over the general population, but he doesn't expect they'll get it before the summer

9:31 pm

72 Temple Owl

our libraries are curbside pickup only, again.

9:31 pm

origami

It hasn't been a smooth roll-out here.

9:31 pm

Dorens

As they should be, owl.

9:32 pm

Dorens

The vaccinations haven't been anything like smooth ANYwhere!

9:32 pm

72 Temple Owl

i get emails but i miss browsing the movies.

9:33 pm

Dorens

Interesting, the process of procuring an appointment is torturous, but the vaccination centers themselves are operated with extreme efficiency. Everyone's been very impressed with the experience

9:33 pm

origami

I miss browsing in the library also. Curbside pickup just isn't the same.

9:34 pm

Dorens

I've found that with the reviews I read in the New Yorker and the Times, and friend recommendations, I never browse anymore - my list is a yard long

9:35 pm

Dorens

Right now I'm trying to read three books. Which is why I DON"T want to be on here all night. I'm down to 40, but I want to go.

9:35 pm

Dorens

go read.

9:35 pm

72 Temple Owl

i just watched king of staten island and liked it a lot. waited 6 weeks for it

9:36 pm

72 Temple Owl

i am reading a new bio of herbert hoover. very interesting but slow going, lots of information. lots of history.

9:37 pm

origami

Paul has brought me a few books, dorens. And I have a long list of holds at the library. I had to rely on the curside libraries for a long time before the library opened for curside service.

Dorens

They also took me to some beautiful rose gardens

9:42 pm

9:43 pm

There is a great little zoo in Folsom. Almost all of the animals there are native species.

9:43 pm

Dorens

Oh, And he didn't take me. I don't even know if he knew it was there - don't remember

9:47 pm

origami

9:48 pm

Dorens
