Hi Rose. Which vaccine did you have?

Happy babbling everyone. Bye
1:27 am

grannyrose
WTG ANIKE!!
1:28 am
anike
I am on the list at my GP to have my shot and I assume it will be the same.
1:38 am
grannyrose
yes anike. all over 50's are receiving the astra-zeneca. it's very strange how it is affecting younger people particularly females. but on thinking about it, i realised most females under 50 will still be taking some form of birth control i.e. the pill which does have as a major side effect of blood clots.
1:39 am
joym999
I'm getting my second shot of Moderna on Weds and I'm a little nervous since a lot of people get sick after the second Moderna shot.

Carla was lurking? *Faints*
7:45 am
hokie carla
just trying to get through first pass
7:45 am
MollyL
As long as it's not The Donner Pass
7:46 am
hokie carla
no thanks
7:46 am
mattygroves
Mmmm...frozen meat ;)
7:47 am
MollyL
This is why I like Matty, the sick sense of humor.
: D
7:47 am
mattygroves
You know me so well.

Brought to you by the makers of Soilent Green.
7:48 am
hokie carla
who wants to guess what kenny rogers song is going through my mind right now?
7:48 am
Judi
Good morning, you crazy kids.
7:48 am
hokie carla
hey judi
7:48 am
mattygroves
A Boy Named Sue? ;)
7:48 am
hokie carla
nope, that's johnny cash
7:48 am
mattygroves
(Yes, I know wrong artist. I needed a bit of Cash) ;)
7:49 am
Jeanius421
that was johnny cash
7:49 am
Judi
You Picked a Fine Time to Leave me Lucille.
7:49 am
hokie carla
this one is in the grid, which is why I'm singing it. plus you'll be sent to the PB if you answer
7:50 am
hokie carla
well now that one is in my head, thanks judi
7:50 am
mattygroves
Or, as the Donner Party said when their wagon broke down, 'you picked a fine time to leave me loose wheel'
7:50 am
hokie carla
LOL, I've heard something similar, but how fitting today, matty
7:50 am
Judi
Stuck with 57 left.
7:50 am
Jeanius421
Good one Matty
7:50 am
MollyL
Oh, it's the not gentleman song
7:51 am
hokie carla
ding ding ding, molly wins all the dings
7:51 am
Judi
I believe that makes Molly a ding-a-ling.
7:52 am
MollyL
And why not The Commodores?
7:53 am
hokie carla
well now it is
7:53 am
hokie carla
and there was one by styx or someone
7:53 am
robwhy
stats for the y please?
7:53 am
MollyL
Although Brick House is their better song
7:54 am
MollyL
Not one of Styx better songs
7:54 am
hokie carla
agreed
7:54 am
BzznBea
I've had The Champs song running through my head all morning.
7:55 am
MollyL
I have been seeing PeeWee Herman dance to that song all morning
7:55 am
hokie carla
hmm, champs song
7:56 am
MollyL
And dear Lord Bea, at least add sunrise and go for a better earworm
7:57 am
hokie carla
is that eagles or solo can't think of eagles guy's name?
7:57 am
Jeanius421
don henly
7:58 am
Jeanius421
Love him brilliant lyricist
7:58 am
MollyL
It's The Eagles
7:58 am
BzznBea
He grew up in my area.
7:58 am
hokie carla
I used to hate the Eagles, but they are growing on me
7:59 am
Jeanius421
Love them
7:59 am
hokie carla
and their version of Please Come Home for Christmas is my favorite Christmas song
7:59 am
MollyL
And let us not forget the late, great Glenn Frey
8:00 am
hokie carla
I did not rem. he died
8:02 am
hokie carla
did he outdie the other band members? and surely there are people that can outdiet me? why are none of these words working?
8:03 am
mattygroves
I have learned the O is not, in fact, an ou, much to my surprise
8:04 am
hokie carla
def. not an outie belly button
8:04 am
BzznBea
One of those common babble words...
8:08 am
MollyL
Really? That one must not be committed to my vague memory then. I had to look it up
8:09 am
hokie carla
any against words? I am against neutrals such as ta5, but enable is not
8:09 am
MollyL
You people who can remember all these obscure, never used words amaze me.
8:09 am
BzznBea
No against
8:09 am
hokie carla
I did finally get the o word and we've had it before but would not look for it
8:10 am
hokie carla
apparently it's a fungi, molly
8:10 am
hokie carla
as opposed to a real drag
8:10 am
MollyL
Carla manages to blurt two words in one comment. Quite the feat
8:14 am
hokie carla
well, 37 left after first pass. managed to gray 6 tiles.
8:34 am
BzznBea
high point tile was used a lot today.
8:38 am
hokie carla
you mean besides the 7 words that start with it?
8:40 am
MollyL
*Wonders if people are searching for 7 it words
8:40 am
hokie carla
<--hopes not
8:43 am
hokie carla
howdy
8:44 am
bichon
ca 6/30, pls
8:44 am
BzznBea
uses the high point tile
8:44 am
hokie carla
oh thanks, one of the words bea was talking about
8:45 am
BzznBea
the 7 is pt
8:45 am
hokie carla
looks like a fancy version of a shortened word that's a newfangled abacus
8:45 am
MLFAN17
is that a fish?
8:47 am
MollyL
It looks like a French word for what you put candles on for a birthday
8:49 am
MollyL
Depending on which ca6/30 you are referring to
8:49 am
MLFAN17
either for me
8:50 am
rururocks

hokie carla
oh geez
9:00 am
rururocks
what do the 8's start with?
9:01 am
BzznBea

hokie carla
ooh, got the L, thx
9:02 am
rururocks
thanks bea got them both
9:03 am
hokie carla
does the G have a 7 with it? and that is GL, right?
9:03 am
bonkler
would happily accept a clue for either
9:03 am
hokie carla
I think the L is what happens if you melt ice
9:03 am
rururocks
li7 to melt metal to fuse it
9:04 am
BzznBea
the gl is sword shaped. think of roman fighters
9:04 am
hokie carla
or metal ;)
9:04 am
hokie carla
thanks, bea. was on the right track but was thinking flower related
9:05 am
bonkler

WARNING! Bea is on the loose with an axe!!!
9:09 am

MollyL
Matty, start like a tropical fruit and end like the song "She's A Ma5" from Flashdance. Then plural. ANd no, not obvious at all.
9:11 am
hokie carla
did not see matty's post and wondered what in the world molly was talking about
9:12 am
MollyL
All I can say is that Mr. B and Mother Bea better mind themselves today.
9:12 am
hokie carla
yeah, would have never found those 2 G's, thx

9:51 am
MollyL
Okay Nan, someone who is obsessed with sex is referred to as a sex ma5 (Easy to look up songs with Google)

10:00 am
MollyL
I was wondering how someone would think that there is an OL
10:01 am
hokie carla
well, I'm pretty sure mlfan's post says ol, so that's why I clarified. :D
10:01 am
MollyL
Her post does say OL. I was just wondering how someone could think there was an OL
10:02 am
hokie carla
I was worried she was looking for an OL. LOL.
10:06 am
cybernan
probably a typo -- I'm sure you have made those too
10:08 am
hokie carla
oh geez, I wasn't berating her over a typo, was trying to be helpful. I will stop. TTFN.

72 Temple Owl
are you still in lockdown?
10:24 am
Haz1558
Well, some things are beginning to open up.
10:25 am
Haz1558
Non-essential retail can do click and collect, we can meet people in restricted numbers outside, but essentially still in lockdown. No hairdressers yet..
10:25 am
72 Temple Owl
good.
10:26 am
Haz1558
My daughter and son-in-law came by on Saturday. We sat in the garden with duvets over us but it was good to chat.
10:26 am
72 Temple Owl
well, no hairdressers - that is NOT good. ;)
10:27 am
Haz1558
I've even started dreaming about getting my hair cut.
10:27 am
cybernan
pretty much the same here -- but recommended we don't leave our neighbourhoods and wear masks inside and out as well as distancing. Variants are on a dramatic rise here.
10:27 am
72 Temple Owl
oh my!
10:27 am
72 Temple Owl
how long has it been?
10:28 am
Haz1558
My last hair cut was at the beginning of December.
10:29 am
cybernan
was it really short before, haz?
10:29 am
72 Temple Owl
i feel that pain. last year I went from feb to the end of august.
10:30 am
Haz1558
Not terribly short, no, but it seems to have accelerated in growth, or maybe I'm just exasperated with it. I should have had a crew cut in December when I had the chance!
10:31 am
72 Temple Owl
time for me to go. house work- and lunch await. happy babbling.
10:32 am
cybernan
lol -- thinking of going to a judi dench cut when everything opens up again -- so sick of long hair. I've always kept it in a short layered cut, but it has been 15 months and is now well past my shoulders
10:32 am
Haz1558
Thanks, TO, good to see you.
10:33 am
Haz1558
Nan, my layers are now grown out as well. The only good thing is that my hair has become more curly with age so I am embracing the curl and abandoning trying to blow it dry.
10:34 am
cybernan
lucky you -- trying valiantly to keep long fine straight hair confined with a clip -- not easy
10:35 am
Haz1558
But you have to allow extra time for it to dry before venturing out. It takes some getting used to but I can understand the frustration of trying to get shape into hair that won't cooperate.
10:37 am
cybernan
actually I was looking at hairdo's for older women on the internet -- kind of like the Meryl Streep do
10:37 am
Haz1558
I just want to feel neat and tidy again and not looking like the Wreck of the Hesperus - an expression my mother liked to use.
10:38 am
cybernan
yes - Mom used that one too
10:38 am
Haz1558
That wreck must have made quite the impression!
10:39 am
cybernan
that and all the starving children in Africa that any uneaten food would have fed
10:40 am
Haz1558
Or the jail awaiting her if I didn't go to school.
10:40 am
cybernan
oh - didn't get that one
10:40 am
Haz1558
And the career in the mill that awaited me.
10:41 am
bichon
I always got "They're starving in Europe"
10:43 am
Haz1558
If I ever claimed I didn't want to go to school, I got the twin horrors of mother in jail and me working in the linen mill. And yes, the starving in Africa, and the children who would be glad of my clothes if I didn't like them. Precious little sympathy!
10:44 am
bichon
I grew up in the 50's
10:44 am
cybernan
the difference a generation makes. There was certainly no coddling or sympathy for mild upsets. More of take it on the chin and get on with it.
10:45 am
Haz1558
I can't remember if I ever threatened my girls. I did overhear the older one telling off the younger one using my style. Number one.... Number two.
10:45 am

I'm hoping we can manage a family reunion somewhere next summer -- there are 18 of us, so it requires some planning. We have had 2 kids turn 50 during this pandemic, and one turning 55 this year - also an 80th birthday and some milestone anniversaries, so a lot to celebrate when the time comes.

well, Molly tried it earlier in regards to Flashdance song but nan wasn't buying it
2:26 pm
hokie carla
mainly because she didn't know what Flashdance was
2:27 pm
MollyL
Yeah, well A) I wasn't cluing that for Nan and B) When cluing for Nan, make sure your references don't go beyond the 1940's.
2:27 pm

I don't know, Molly, remember that time she didn't know bazooka, which is from the 40s or before
2:29 pm

And if you want to see good clues, go back a few years when people REALLY knew how to clue well without giving the word away.
2:29 pm

3 to go

MollyL
Oh yeah, I forgot about bazooka. That is way before the 40's.

Nope, I was wrong. Bazookas were designed in 43

I thought you had the 8? I think if you just tried a wee bit harder on that.
2:38 pm
moolingwa
sorry not 8...it's a 7 :)
2:38 pm
hurshy
esp since you don't say you need a 7...
2:38 pm
hokie carla
ok, that makes more sense
2:39 pm
moolingwa
yeah, I think I clued the 8 before ;)
2:39 pm
hurshy
meanwhile you can help me with some other 7s
2:39 pm
hurshy
i have: cl, de, li, sc, te
2:39 pm
hokie carla
well, you clued the 7 so I assumed you had the 8 that went with it
2:39 pm
moolingwa
okay, they all have 7 letters...and contain consonants and vowels
2:39 pm
joym999
You need to look a little closer to find that D7. If you had a magnifying glass you could see more D7s.
2:40 pm
hurshy
wow moo, just give them away why don't you
2:40 pm
moolingwa
sorry, should work harder on my cluing :)
2:40 pm

there is a ca7, hurshy
2:41 pm

The C7 is very exclusive
2:47 pm
hurshy
to review, we have now listed: ca7, cl7, de7, gl7, li7, sc7, te7, there remains one other 7, which i guess is whatever mool is missing
2:48 pm
hurshy
and if that's true it must be a T cause i have all the L and D words now
2:49 pm
hurshy
and it would have to come from the bottom left T
2:50 pm

Clue for ca7?
2:50 pm
hurshy
there are two ca6/30, it's the past tense of the second one
2:51 pm
hurshy
it looks like a french version of a short way of saying that you computed the answer to some numbers...?
2:55 pm
hurshy
ok, so, mool must have been missing the te7 that i have, because the last 7 is a GU
2:56 pm
