NANCY

8:29 am

Scrabbler

Crossy's here! I met someone the other day that has family in Owen Sound.

8:29 am

crosshair

:) Owen Sound is but an hours drive west of me. :)

8:30 am

Scrabbler

The kid's paternal grandparents live there and the pandemic has kept them apart.

8:30 am

welki

'morning, babblers

8:31 am

BzznBea

Morning, welki.

8:31 am

Scrabbler

Hello up there, welki.

8:31 am

crosshair

Yes. We are still being quite tight with our covid precautions, and in my area mask usage is still thankfully at near 100% compliance.

8:32 am

Scrabbler

Excellent, Crossy. A week ago I saw 2 unmasked people in the supermarket and no employee corrected that situation. And the people with face shields only baffle me.

8:33 am

spellit

What's wrong with a face shield?

8:33 am

crosshair

yesterday showed zero new cases in my town and the two adjacent towns near us.

8:33 am

crosshair

Face shields are also fine, spellit

8:33 am

spellit

Thanks!

8:34 am

MLFAN17

bzz clue pls?

8:34 am

crosshair

We have regular unanounce visits by government inspectors who can and do fine both customers and employess should they see a mask or distancing violation. The fine is $880 fr first offense.

8:34 am

crosshair

sorry for the typs

8:35 am

crosshair

typos-- my "O" is sticking

8:35 am

BzznBea

ma8 and 9 are dress forms

8:35 am

Scrabbler

A face shield does not protect the wearer--they are breathing in all the germs.

8:36 am

spellit

Not if you maintain social distancing. Somne people don't seem to know what 2 metres is!

8:36 am

crosshair

face sheilds in combination with a mask-- our door people also wear eye protection

8:36 am

Scrabbler

Good to hear, crossy.

8:37 am

spellit

Face shield has kept me safe for a year now.

8:37 am

crosshair

it gets bad in my store,, as customers do not care to much for distancing sometimes. gets so bad we sometimes have to heave our work and vacate the aisle.

8:37 am

MLFAN17

bzz duh ty

8:37 am

crosshair

leave our work*

8:38 am

crosshair

because even at the 25% capacity rule, our store still lets in 165 people at a time. :(

8:39 am

crosshair

The problem starts when all of them are in the produce and dairy area at once. :(

8:39 am

Scrabbler

Please stay safe, Crossy.

8:40 am

crosshair

I have dodged the bullet so far, scrabby. I have been in there five days a week non-stop since day one of covid.

8:40 am

crosshair

I am due for my first shot next month as an essential food service worker

8:42 am

Scrabbler

Yay!

BzznBea

That is where the 9/10 combo is

10:13 am

hokie carla

10:13 am

zoozzoom

10:13 am

10:20 am

zoozzoom

Not really, Nan.

10:20 am

mattygroves

I too only have half of them. I wonder if we have the same half!

10:21 am

zoozzoom

one with a choo choo on the end was the one I struggled with.

10:21 am

BzznBea

That is the poem

10:21 am

hokie carla

odd that so many of the qu's don't have plurals that they could have. I guess I should see what the words mean.

10:21 am

hokie carla

and yes, I just used mean and I don't care

10:21 am

hokie carla

thx bea & zooz

10:22 am

10:29 am

MLFAN17

2:16 pm

hokie carla

I need 4 top A, 2 under that one, and 6 on bottom

hurshy

2:39 pm

Rainiqui

Does anyone have a valid link to the enable word list? I've had a problem with my computers and have lost quite a bit of data.

2:39 pm

hurshy

i didn't know there was a way for us to access it

2:40 pm

Rainiqui

I know that some use it but I can't remember exactly who.

2:47 pm

Rainiqui

Thanks for helping JM but the one I had was in a spreadsheet.

2:49 pm

hokie carla

if you google enable word list, there are quite a few results. I don't remember if this game uses the most up to date one or not. I have never seen a link for a spreadsheet one here but that doesn't mean a lot.

2:50 pm

Rainiqui

Thanks Carla ~ I had done that but will look again.

2:51 pm

Rainiqui

The gentleman who created the list was a Babbler if I recall correctly.

3:20 pm

hokie carla

how's it going now? still really sore?

3:20 pm

bichon

Which shot did you get?

3:20 pm

hokie carla

I think she is referring to her fall.

3:21 pm

hokie carla

I have been trying to find one. missed a mass event on Wed.

3:21 pm

bichon

ok, hope for the best

3:21 pm

cybernan

yes, carla -- it was worse 3 yesterday than 3 days after the accident. Most of the scabs have fallen off now and the bruises are starting to lose their colour, so a lot better today, but still sore.

3:21 pm

hokie carla

well, I'm glad you didn't break anything

3:22 pm

cybernan

*worse than the day of the accident

3:22 pm

cybernan

oh - me too. Already have 2 bionic knees!

3:22 pm

bichon

How did you fall, nan?

3:22 pm

hokie carla

but still painful, I know

3:23 pm

cybernan

I didn't see that the trap door to the crawl space was open and stepped right through while looking for something in a cupboard. 7 foot drop to a concrete floor, bouncing of walls and a ladder on the way down.

3:24 pm

hurshy

good golly

3:24 pm

bichon

oy vey!

3:24 pm

3:27 pm

hurshy

phantom for the grid, not so phantom for real life: quarantine

3:27 pm

bichon

W@as some one at home with you?

3:28 pm

hokie carla

yeah, I've thought quarantine a couple of times but thought maybe it was just in my head

3:28 pm

Trifioso

oh nan, I am so sorry to hear of your fall! How awful for you!

3:28 pm

Trifioso

and hello everyone

3:28 pm

cybernan

yes - and I was able to get up on my own, so I knew I hadn't broken anything.

3:29 pm

hurshy

that's amazing

3:29 pm

cybernan

thank you all, but over the worst of it now I think --- it's just still slowing me down a bit and I can't get back to my walking regime until the bruises and swelling goes down.

3:29 pm

lbdawger

hello, can someone clue the an9/66 please?

3:30 pm

Trifioso

I would have nightmares about it, I think

3:30 pm

rururocks

3:30 pm

maccafixx

3:30 pm

hokie carla

aha, one of my 9's. looking now.

3:33 pm

hokie carla

3:33 pm

hurshy

i didn't even have the church singers though!

3:33 pm

rururocks

sorry.. it was the best way to clue it

3:33 pm

hokie carla

I did have the church singers, so that didn't help with my missing 4 C's

3:33 pm

Trifioso

my phantom today seems to be "spinach"

3:34 pm

maccafixx

took me a while ty all

3:34 pm

cybernan

3:34 pm

hokie carla

wow, out of all the phantoms I have spinach was not one

3:34 pm

Trifioso

3:35 pm

Trifioso

THAT is an understatement

3:45 pm

hokie carla

3:46 pm

hurshy

it's hard to finish the 4s by trying, i feel

3:46 pm

hurshy

cause you don't know which letters of them you're missing

3:46 pm

hokie carla

not really, you just methodically try every 4 combo from your non-gray iles

3:47 pm

hurshy

that would take forever

3:47 pm

hokie carla

tiles. I told y'all about my faulty t, right?

3:47 pm

hokie carla

well, I had 6 or 8 left when I started

3:49 pm

3:51 pm

hurshy

3:51 pm

hokie carla

slow and steady wins the race (not really)

3:51 pm

Trifioso

.....waiting for someone to make a "try dulcolax" joke

3:52 pm

hurshy

3:53 pm

Trifioso

3:57 pm

hokie carla

I have only found 55

3:57 pm

3:58 pm

cybernan

just found a pe 7 that is absolutely 2 words

3:58 pm

moolingwa

3:58 pm

hurshy

hmmm i bet i need whatever that is

3:58 pm

hokie carla

hmm, I don't have any pe7, maybe I should look for 2 words

3:59 pm

moolingwa

nm, found a 10 and the 11

3:59 pm

cybernan

want a clue?

3:59 pm

hurshy

i have a pe7 but i don't think it is the same one cause it doesn't look like two words

3:59 pm

cybernan

trade you clues, hurshy

3:59 pm

hokie carla

sure, thx, nan

3:59 pm

cybernan

moniker used by a writer

4:00 pm

4:00 pm

hokie carla

that is 2 words, I agree

4:00 pm

hurshy

thanks nan

4:01 pm

hokie carla

4:04 pm

hokie carla

87%

4:05 pm

4:07 pm

hurshy

4:07 pm

hokie carla

I have tried permeate several times today, so I can tell you it's not that

4:09 pm

hokie carla

cybernan

4:17 pm

Uneaixoise

4:17 pm

moolingwa

tx for the ce and on

4:18 pm

hokie carla

still looking for the ce :D

4:18 pm

hokie carla

thought for a second it was ceramic

4:18 pm

cybernan

think 100 and french

4:18 pm

hurshy

it sounds like a measure of land using the 100 root

4:19 pm

Uneaixoise

River? Brook? Rivulet?

4:19 pm

moolingwa

think slightly bigger

4:19 pm

hokie carla

or what you do tto watch netflix

4:19 pm

hurshy

or think about watching video over the internet

4:19 pm

Uneaixoise

Tx for the ce!

4:20 pm

MollyL

Changing horses in the middle of a _____ gets you wet and sometimes cold

4:20 pm

Uneaixoise

Tx! Got it!

4:20 pm

hokie carla

I wish I knew any french

4:21 pm

hurshy

there are 100 ...... in a dollar

4:21 pm

hokie carla

well, 1 of a hundred pennies is what I get when I google 100 french, so I'm on the right track

4:22 pm

hurshy

add a form of the verb "to be"

4:22 pm

cybernan

ends in a conjugation of to be

4:22 pm

hokie carla

thank you both.

4:23 pm

hokie carla

found a c5! now just one c left.

4:23 pm

hurshy

whew. finished. certain muscles in the arm were my last word

4:24 pm

moolingwa

still have two c's to go myself

4:24 pm

hurshy

were? was? muscles plural, but word singular. very awkward.

4:24 pm

hokie carla

omg, can't believe those, hurshy

4:24 pm

cybernan

well done hurshy - still have 50 left

4:24 pm

cybernan

whole slug of re's

4:25 pm

hokie carla

weird that the word itself can't be singular. I use it that way all the time

4:28 pm

hokie carla

I have 7 r's left. wonder how many are redoing something.

4:28 pm

hokie carla

feels like I've tried everything

4:29 pm

moolingwa

3 r's left

4:29 pm

moolingwa

40 words left overall

4:30 pm

moolingwa

still no 9s tho

4:30 pm

moolingwa

remances - when you get back together with an old bf/gf

4:31 pm

hurshy

you're sort of close to an re9 with that moo

4:31 pm

hurshy

re9 makes you think of a word for remember as well as a P word for staying power, lasting forever

4:31 pm

cybernan

can anyone clue the re 9 please?

4:32 pm

hurshy

if you take the not-in-grid P word i just referred to, instead of "per" you just put "re"

4:33 pm

hurshy

aq8 is like a guess a person who is of a certain zodiac sign?

4:33 pm

hurshy

why am i cluing that, you want 9s

4:33 pm

cybernan

ty hurshy

4:34 pm

hurshy

oh yeah so there's an9, before the church singing group

4:34 pm

hurshy

4:41 pm

hokie carla

now just need 1 8 to finish the big ones

4:45 pm

hokie carla

hey, found an M!

4:46 pm

hokie carla

manch5 - what guys who used to sing in boys' ch5 sing in when they grow up

4:49 pm

periwinkle

not seeing re9 or the an9

4:50 pm

hokie carla

the an9 is a space in front of the ch5 that sings in a church

4:50 pm

periwinkle

I no nothing about churches

4:51 pm

hokie carla

do you know who does the singing in churches, sometimes as a group and sometimes along with the congregation?

4:52 pm

hokie carla

ends in that, has an prefix that means before

4:52 pm

periwinkle

of course I knew that ty carla

4:53 pm

periwinkle

re9 please

4:53 pm

periwinkle

will go to list soon otherwise I will be here past my bedtime.

4:57 pm

hokie carla

well, I was going to clue re9 and then went and read hurshy's further clues and that is exactly what I would have said, so not sure how

4:58 pm

periwinkle

ok I will keep looking

4:59 pm

hokie carla

almost sounds like leftover fabric pieces (not scraps, but re7) with an extra syllable thrown in

5:01 pm

periwinkle

nothing if working for me but ty

5:01 pm

hokie carla

sorry

5:01 pm

periwinkle

no worries I appreciate the effort

5:01 pm

periwinkle

I am belong 100 left so listing soon

5:02 pm

hokie carla

have made it to 37 but super slow going, so should probably list as well

5:02 pm

ChampFit

I just listed. LOVE the *I thought I typed that* already game.

5:03 pm

hokie carla

yeah, I'm sure there'll be some of that

5:03 pm

MollyL

TITT! Thought I Tried That

5:03 pm

ChampFit

Fun times!

5:04 pm

MollyL

And you probably did try that, but added an extra space or letter because you were madly typing

5:05 pm

hokie carla

esp. with my faulty T, I am sure that will be the case

5:06 pm

ChampFit

You're working with a handicap. 10 words is fair, I think!

5:08 pm

hokie carla

good point

5:10 pm

hokie carla

not on list yet, but just found ae6/7. you'd think I could've seen that sooner.

5:14 pm

ChampFit

It has a T in it...bring on the handicap! You typed it, I'm sure...

5:14 pm

hokie carla

no, I cannot tell a lie, I can't look backwards.

5:15 pm

ChampFit

Like George costanza, 'can't go left'

5:15 pm

hokie carla

:D
