Clue for ap8 please....

5:46 am

Haz1558

ap8 ends in the opposite of day, use half the laughing fence to get there.

5:46 am

lynxxx

almost the 'top' animal, then doesn't end in day

5:46 am

lynxxx

Hey Haz!

5:47 am

Haz1558

Hello!

5:47 am

Haz1558

Happy day here, I'm getting to the hairdressers. Only 5 months overdue..

5:47 am

Haz1558

How are you doing?

5:47 am

lynxxx

I saw some-one wishes you Happy Birthday the other day - hope it was a good one!

5:48 am

Uneaixoise

Tx...now have all 3 9's!!

5:49 am

Haz1558

Yes, we worked round the restrictions and I managed to see my sister and my daughter and son-in-law, but on separate occasions. Looking forward to being able to have people in the house again, it's awfully chilly outside!

5:49 am

lynxxx

So-so. Kind of better than I was a year ago and about to start a new regime - this Friday actually - so we'll see.

5:49 am

Haz1558

Oh, I hope it goes as smoothly as possible for you.

5:49 am

lynxxx

You've all had the jabs over there?

5:50 am

Haz1558

We get our second one on 22nd May, the younger generation just starting to get their first one. Thankfully infection rates are coming down very well.

5:50 am

Haz1558

My younger girl in London has had both her jabs, so that is good.

5:51 am

lynxxx

I so remember not being able to have people over - awful

5:52 am

Haz1558

It's been going on for so long, our district had high infection rates and we were put in lockdown in advance of others, but never took us out again. We were allowed to have 1 day of people in at Christmas so effectively nobody has been in since last September, bar Christmas Day.

5:52 am

Uneaixoise

Family fully jabbed here!! :-)

5:53 am

Haz1558

That's great news, Une, it gives such a sense of relief.

5:53 am

Uneaixoise

Yes!!

5:53 am

lynxxx

My goodness - that is a very very long time - I thought our lockdown of months was bad

5:54 am

lynxxx

3 months that is

5:55 am

Haz1558

I'm looking forward to being able to visit my older girl, They bought a house in October and I've only ever been able to make a fleeting visit, masked, no sitting down etc. It will be nice to sit and chat.

5:58 am

lynxxx

I feel for you !

5:59 am

Haz1558

And yet, in the whole scheme of things we have been very fortunate, food on the table, we have all kept well, read more books than normal. I shouldn't complain - and then I look in the mirror!

6:01 am

Haz1558

I have a friend who is experiencing symptoms of long covid. She had what she thought was a mild dose of covid but she has been plagued with all sorts of maladies since. It will just take time for the effects to wear off.

6:01 am

lynxxx

lol - lot of women my age strangely went grey over lockdown - and aren't bothering to go back now even though hairdressers are all back

6:02 am

Haz1558

Yes, that grey business is strange. It must be stress, it can't be age.

6:02 am

lynxxx

she didn't get tested or was it so rampant everyone got it?

6:03 am

FrenchToast

GM, I just had to jump in and say I turned gray during Covid!

6:03 am

lynxxx

no - just women who have had their hair dyed for years.

6:03 am

FrenchToast

I am 64 and I was blonde.

6:03 am

Haz1558

She tested positive (caught it from her husband), isolated etc for the requisite amount of time but has had problems since.

6:03 am

Haz1558

My hair has gone grey as well at the roots but it's going to have a wee helping hand to disappear this afternoon.

6:04 am

lynxxx

They are reporting the same here - a large percentage (30%?)

6:05 am

Haz1558

30% experiencing long term symptoms? That's a lot.

6:06 am

lynxxx

let me try and confirm that

6:08 am

Haz1558

My son-in-law thinks he had it in the very early days before testing was widely available. He lost his taste and smell for a long time, it has come back but he smells things differently. Tests since have proved inconclusive on whether he actually had it but he can't think what else it would be. If my daughter had it she was entirely asymptomatic.

6:09 am

lynxxx

40% still experiencing symptoms 2 months after having CCOVID. Remembering that we have relative few COVID cases so not sure how that skews the %s

6:10 am

Haz1558

That's interesting, not sure what the figures are like here.

6:14 am

lynxxx

It does seem like it was a pretty small group followed but even so. Let's hope the symptoms do clear and don't effect people later on life/permanently

6:15 am

Haz1558

I hope so too.

6:17 am

lynxxx

I must go and get some stuff done before bed...lovely to see you Haz - Bye

6:17 am

Haz1558

I hope the weather warms up here soon. I'm so tired of winter clothes but am not prepared to freeze in summer stuff.

harry he was scrambling around Sun night for batteries for his calculator and then yesterday I asked how the test was and he said he could've not gone to class and still gotten the same thing and mentioned something about politics. I'm thinking why are there politics in calculus?

10:12 am

HarryHood

10:16 am

hokie carla

dog is practically sitting in my lap right now

10:17 am

cybernan

quick - move to a 1 bedroom apartment!

10:18 am

hokie carla

we've been house hunting for a while nan but can't figure out where we want to move to.

10:18 am

hokie carla

and everything sells instantly in this market

10:19 am

cybernan

same here - people moving away from Vancouver

10:19 am

moolingwa

we had two houses go up for sale on our street (we only have 12 houses) and they sold in the first day

10:19 am

hokie carla

yeah, we already get a lot from NY, I think even more now

10:19 am

HarryHood

our street is listing at ridiculous prices so they're not selling so fast

10:20 am

moolingwa

we get californians mostly

10:20 am

hokie carla

yeah, I know people that got 14 offers the first day and stuff like that

10:21 am

MollyL

I am missing something. With unemployment at a record high, how are people being able to afford to buy houses?

10:21 am

cybernan

are you just over the border mool?

10:22 am

hokie carla

and said houses are like 200%+ more than what they were last purchased for

10:22 am

moolingwa

no, I'm in a separate timezone :)

10:22 am

cybernan

I meant just over the CA/CO border

10:23 am

moolingwa

no, there's a few states in between :)

10:23 am

hokie carla

have you been to great sand dunes, moo? that was one of our favorite stops in our cross country trip

10:23 am

cybernan

oh - thought you were in Colorado

10:24 am

moolingwa

I have seen them from distance, but have not been to them

10:24 am

moolingwa

yes, we have Utah and Nevada between us and California

10:24 am

moolingwa

I guess you could kind of say Arizona too...but it's just the corner of the state that touches Colorado

10:25 am

cybernan

yes - I thought all 3 states met at one corner, but I guess that is Nevada

10:26 am

moolingwa

Utah, New Mexico, Arizona and Colorado meet at the four corners

10:26 am

hokie carla

no one's found that i yet?

10:26 am

HarryHood

canadian geography is much more straightforward

10:26 am

Shirlockc

i think the superlative of ra4 as in complain should be a word, cause that's me!

10:26 am

moolingwa

I've been there...well the nominal 4 corners, the actual 4 corners is supposed to be on private property

10:26 am

hokie carla

wearing a canada shirt today

10:27 am

hokie carla

shirlock, classic enable list omission

10:27 am

cybernan

yes - was getting colorado mixed up with nevada

10:27 am

moolingwa

ah, well I'm glad I live in Colorado rather than Nevada....personal preference of course :)

10:28 am

cybernan

don't we all feel that way about where we live?

10:28 am

hokie carla

I think I could live in Lake Tahoe

10:28 am

moolingwa

I dunno, I've lived so many places...they all have pluses and minuses

10:29 am

moolingwa

happy to be living in CO

10:29 am

hokie carla

NV, of course, not CA

10:29 am

moolingwa

would be nice to be closer to the sea tho

10:29 am

moolingwa

Yeah, Tahoe is pretty nice

10:30 am

cybernan

we moved back to where we started, so that tells you something :)

10:30 am

hokie carla

does anyone have 2nd col T finished? I need 1.

10:31 am

moolingwa

I'm a fair way from my starting point...tho I think my wife would be interested in living in NZ

10:31 am

hokie carla

we've already established it's not tinfart

10:31 am

moolingwa

10:31 am

moolingwa

10:32 am

MotherOwl

10:40 am

cybernan

still looking for 2 more l's

10:40 am

hokie carla

it must have some other definition

10:40 am

cybernan

who know MO -- no rhyme nor reason the enable dictionary

10:41 am

MotherOwl

the ? says male name (norwegian)

10:41 am

MotherOwl

and Swedish too I feel lft out!

10:41 am

hokie carla

and it just so happens the metallica drummer is danish, motherowl :D

10:41 am

moolingwa

cybernan

which ones do you have, une?

2:45 pm

hokie carla

not good for us with no french

2:45 pm

moolingwa

otherwise...think spanish saint + most of a certain american car component

2:45 pm

MotherOwl

It means someone that speaks in French ;) At least I think so.

2:46 pm

MotherOwl

Maybe 'speaking' would be better

2:46 pm

moolingwa

and the sa6 is literally a persian dulcimer, according to the dictionary

2:47 pm

cybernan

a specific american car?

2:47 pm

hokie carla

found a different S!

2:47 pm

MotherOwl

The pa8 is latin american for loudspeaker. I became curious.

2:47 pm

moolingwa

not a specific american car, but specifically american, in canada it's spelt differently

2:47 pm

hokie carla

ah, we've had that sa6 many times, I always have trouble

4:36 pm

hokie carla

my clue that wasn't really a clue but will somehow give away your words? ;)

4:36 pm

moolingwa

well you said they were regular, so I'll stop looking for esoteric words

4:37 pm

moolingwa

old fashioned words anyway :)

4:37 pm

hokie carla

let me know if you want any 2nd letters

4:37 pm

moolingwa

you also mentioned, I think the H, was the kind of word you typically miss

4:38 pm

hokie carla

no, that's the F

4:38 pm

moolingwa

ah

4:38 pm

hokie carla

joym999

ty carla and moo for the NI7 clue...I had to leave for a while to work. My damn job is interfering with my babbling

6:05 pm

MollyL

Oh those damn jobs. Sadly, there are a lot of people out there who wish they had them.

6:09 pm

joym999

I like my job, but I like playing Babble more. I'd quit my job and just Babble, but I like eating so I can't.

6:10 pm

joym999

It's crazy IMO that there are people who want jobs and can't find them.

6:13 pm

dan2bit

as a hiring manager with an open position, I'm seeing a lot of people job hunting from existing jobs (at least in tech) here as the pandemic restrictions start to ease

6:14 pm

joym999

most of the tech people I know seem to move from job to job pretty frequently

6:16 pm

dan2bit

yes it's not the red flag it used to be. I still like to see at least a year at each job, or I am going to ask why that one wasn't a good fit. If it's a pattern, that's a flight risk red flag

6:17 pm

dan2bit

3 years or so seems common

6:18 pm

joym999

I work for the gov't, belong to a union, have a pension, so the incentive to stay is considerable.

6:19 pm

dan2bit

indeed. our customers are colleges and universities, so I'm familiar with that :-)

6:19 pm

joym999

there's good and bad things about both those methods.

6:20 pm

joym999

For me, it's good that I have job security, but it's bad that it's so hard to get rid of lousy employees.

6:23 pm

dan2bit

my favorite combo to see in a resume is someone who has spent a chunk of their career moving up or switching roles in the same company.

6:41 pm

joym999

why is that your favorite combo?

6:45 pm

MollyL

Belonging to a union, having a guaranteed pension, and being able to play games while at work is like a fantasy life for some.

6:45 pm

dan2bit

it usually (not always) means that the person has both talent and ambition, and figured out a way to demonstrate her value to the company

6:47 pm

joym999

It's great, Molly, no question, but the time I spend during the day playing Babble does mean I have to find other time to finish my work. But I work on environmental issues/energy/climate change and occasionally I feel like I'm making a difference.

6:47 pm

joym999

that makes sense, Dan.

6:48 pm

periwinkle

2nd ta6/18 please
