Should the in6/33 be easy to find?
7:46 am
welki

beats me, but i'll look with you
7:47 am
welki

it's a little tricky directionwise
7:48 am
mattygroves

May I have a nudge, please?
7:49 am
welki

oh wait, it's not you - i only found in 6/18
7:49 am
welki

but i did see waluigi's brother in the grid :)
7:50 am
mael

goes around in direction and meaning, matty :)
7:51 am

ahhh, found it
7:51 am

funny that my clue was appropos, but i was not
7:53 am

Still looking...
7:56 am

Ah HAH
7:57 am

👍
7:58 am

**Had to look up Waluigi's brother. I have no clue about those games
8:03 am
hokie carla

alt universe luigi or bad luigi in super mario bros? (haven't read the chat)
8:04 am
welki

bad luigi
8:05 am
welki

my mistake - alt universe
8:06 am
hokie carla

LOL, I couldn't remember so would've believed either. I thought alt universe first but then 2nd guessed and threw in bad. I almost typed evil but then I didn't remember him as evil, just kind of a prankster or something. but that could be way off.
8:08 am
welki

i'd pretty much lost interest after the first game, but my kids played all of them. one of them is a nintendo savant - she can beat all of them fairly easily
8:08 am
MollyL

Do you two play these games?
8:09 am
mael

Super Mario is a classic, man :)
8:10 am
welki

i still have all of them - hokie and i could open a store
8:12 am
welki

it's fun to watch the grandchildren play these "primitive" games, but truly a riot to watch the adult children = the sounds are identical to when they were small
8:13 am
MollyL

Name that proper noun, silent film star sex symbol
8:13 am
welki

can't believe it's over two years since i've seen them :(
8:13 am
mael

my two littles were playing super mario on the emulator last night (it's an old console box my husband built which has a rasperberry pi in it with every single old nintendo game) and they were CRACKING UP
8:13 am
mael

aw, welki. I'm sorry, that's tough
8:14 am
welki

but what a reunion it'll be when we're able to travel :)
8:14 am
mael

that is true! I can't wait for my kids to be vaccinated so I can take them back to italy to see my family
8:19 am

sorry to butt in, but I just signed on and read the most recent remarks and had to say that our son is flying in on Sunday for a short visit...like you welki, it's been 2 years. Still can't see grandkids which are too young to be vaccinated.
8:22 am
mael

enjoy the visit, it's been such a long time for everyone
8:22 am
pcal2

yeah, can't wait!
8:22 am
mael

and you're not butting in! it's a free for all in here :)
8:23 am
mattygroves

I would give almost anything to meet my granddaughter and grandson-to-be (in March) but I suspect we'll be well into 2022 at the earliest :(
8:23 am
welki

yes, have a wonderful time together!!
8:23 am
pcal2

:-) tks mael
8:23 am
welki

one big crappy boat we're all in
8:23 am
mael

aww matty. Hopefully the very young will be able to be vaccinated early next year and then things ought to get better!
8:23 am
mael

congrats on the upcoming new grandson!
8:24 am
pcal2

and I won't get into the frustration we all feel
8:24 am
mael

I have a march boy too :)
8:24 am
welki

one of my daughters is a nurse and she's been called in to work in short-staffed departments, med/surg and icu
8:24 am
mattygroves

Well, the issue here is that Australia isn't letting ANYONE in - they'll start letting stranded Australians in in November, but no-body from outside. I should get my booster vax in December but they still won't let me in
8:25 am
mael

you can't even return as a citizen??
8:25 am
mael

I would have been able to go back to Italy even in the height of it as a citizen, I just would have had to (obviously) quarantine on the way in
8:26 am
welki

we have the reverse problem - canada is letting just about anyone IN, but we can't get into the states easily. (and i could enter as a us citizen, but would have to leave my husband on the other side - we're not there yet *lol*)
8:26 am
mattygroves

People have been stranded for almost 2 years. They've let tiny numbers back but the numbers are so limited it's tough for anyone to get back and seems to be as much luck based as anything else, from what I gather
8:26 am
mattygroves

And regardless, my daughter and her fiance aren't citizens, so they can't leave or else they wouldn't be allowed back
8:27 am
welki

we're all stuck, one way or another - at least we're here to bitch about it *wishing there was a rueful emoticon*
8:28 am
mael

here's to hoping things normalize in 2022
8:28 am
mael

what a mess
8:28 am
pcal2

thumbs up to that sentiment!
8:28 am
mael

I'm going back to Italy next week for the first time since all this, it's nerve wracking to even travel
8:30 am
MollyL

It seems a little absurd what Australia is doing. People have been stranded for 2 YEARS???
8:31 am
welki

buy yourself really good masks, mael
8:31 am
mattygroves

Here's an article from the BBC: https://bbc.in/2ZNl8lB about a guy stuck in India but it mentions others.
8:32 am
mattygroves

"Early on in the quarantine programme, a problem emerged. The number of people returning home - mostly from New Zealand, the US and the UK - threatened to overwhelm the system. There were only so many hotel rooms available.

So the government looked for a solution. Instead of expanding the system - for example, adding a purpose-built quarantine centre - authorities drastically cut back the number of plane arrivals allowed in each week."

i think of diversion as the meaning of that wrod

Not exactly, but close. Look up synonyms for th6 and diversion for the difference.

Science fiction is not my thing, but I know who Issac Asimov is.
10:03 am
mael

sure
10:06 am
mael

it's just a question of retaining the information, I really don't care about actors/actresses or musicians. Sometimes I retain the names if I stumble into something I love, but most of the time for me it's "oh that song I like but I don't remember who sings it". My favorites I know, but that's the extent of the bandwidth I expend :)

Random question...why do people post pictures of themselves in masks? I thought the whole point of a self-portrait was to show what you look like.

11:05 am

I'd rather know why people post beach pics with their feet in the bottom of the shot. I don't want to see that.
11:06 am

I guess. It just looks like any other pair of eyes above a piece of cloth.

The beach/feet thing has been dubbed an "epic Instagram fail". I don't know why people think their photos are so damn interesting that the whole world want's to see them.

Afraid to say…………….
11:43 am
penquis

well sometimes you give the impression that you don't really read the chat carefully after you ask for clues...it can annoy people....i jumped in and posted the word you were looking for because I was tired of the cluing and a bit grumpy....
11:43 am
mkg

Sty cosmo. Great clue. Got it.
11:43 am

nothing wrong with asking for clues....everyone does it..
11:46 am

Well it was pretty horrible to feel so told off….it was not gentle.
11:46 am

well some people lose patience more easily than others....
11:47 am

dont worry mkg..
just leave it.. he/she might have had a bad day and was just showing to you..
leave it.
11:47 am
mkg

It was stated pretty horribly….not at all in jest and not at all nice. Just telling me to shut up basically.
11:47 am
mkg

And that i was a pain in everyones side.
11:48 am
hurshy

the problem is not asking for a clue. it's more when you don't understand a clue and you give the impression that you expect people to keep giving additional clues until you get it.
11:48 am
penquis

my advice....read the chat carefully after asking for clues....

there are too many i's in this grid....
11:57 am
MollyL

It's an IT kind of day
: D
11:58 am
hurshy

the Y isn't placed usefully, and there's no S to make the plural versions of words that end with Y, so that's a bit frustrating
11:58 am

helping mr. homie hang a storm door, that is supposed to take 10 min. we have been working over an hour and I talked him into a lunch break.
12:24 pm
Sophie512

thanks for the clues Cosmo
12:35 pm
hokie carla

mkg, if I could add some constructive criticism...your posts come across as demanding everyone stop what they're doing and give you clues and stats for words you haven't even tried to find on your own yet, when sometimes clues haven't even scrolled off to the archive (which isn't hard to open). so my advice: 1) keep in mind everyone is trying to find words too and may not have a lot of time to help out 2) read full chat carefully 3) if you don't get clues right away come back later and it may come to you 4) don't take anything personally on the internet
12:36 pm
Sophie512

Well spoken, Carla. ps love your golden
12:37 pm
MollyL

Well done Carla. That is exactly it. The !!!!!! and ????? are part of what make the clues come across as demanding.
12:37 pm
hokie carla

thanks. he picked up fleas somewhere (even though he's on a preventative) and is a LOT of work right now. so much fur to go through. but he's super sweet.

back to see if I can find more words....hello all....
12:50 pm
cybernan

just been through the chat looking for clues - ty cos, didn't have that one. An in awe of Carla that she would try to mr. homie do anything D: I learned a long time ago to make myself scarce when any home repair projects were underway.
12:50 pm
Sophie512

Carla, years ago, we had an Olde English Sheepdog. We had her clipped down short every summer, and her face trimmed. She looked like a lioness, but she loved it in this humidity. By fall, it was growing out. Since her, we've had easy-to-care-for labs!
12:52 pm
hokie carla

nan, it is a struggle. we have completely different ideas on how things should be done (I think that's because he's left-handed) and we both want to be the leader.
12:53 pm
cybernan

I think that must be our problem as well.
12:53 pm
hokie carla

sophie, have been cutting mats off him left and right so fleas can't hide in there. you aren't supposed to shave Goldens as it messes up their undercoat, but that would be so much easier.
12:54 pm
hokie carla

okay, back to work. BBL for last 39.
12:54 pm
cybernan

I know the left handed part is. It's been 58 years and I still haven't been able to convince him that knives that are serrated only on one side don't work as well for lefties.
12:54 pm

this döstädning is becoming fun. Finding vintage items that are now collectible and pricey.
12:55 pm
72 Temple Owl

i am amazed at some of them.
12:57 pm
penquis

i just talked to someone about helping me do some cleaning out of closets....but i don't think i want to refer to that as death cleaning... ;o)
12:58 pm
72 Temple Owl

i know...but whatever gets you going. cleaning out parents' home still fresh in my mind.
12:58 pm
72 Temple Owl

rather it go to people who want it than to goodwill, for those items that are wanted
12:59 pm
penquis

nice thought...
12:59 pm
72 Temple Owl

some being sold on consignment on etsy for me
12:59 pm
72 Temple Owl

others go to local charity.
1:01 pm
72 Temple Owl

i just found a finnish enamelware mug that is collectible to the tune of over $130 as well as a vintage Ace woven guitar strap worth about $75
1:01 pm
penquis

nice...
1:02 pm
MollyL

Pen I am with you on the "death cleaning" thing. That is morbid.
1:02 pm
72 Temple Owl

and some parental items we considered quite mundane like vintage pyrex is sought after...who knew?
1:03 pm
MollyL

And I know there is noting "collectible" in my closets
1:03 pm
penquis

when we cleaned out my folks' house, one of the items that sold much higher than expected at our yard sale was what I think was a death photo of an infant with a lock of hair in it....it was colored by hand....kinda eerie...
1:03 pm
72 Temple Owl

it is the experience of cleaning out the parental home that made the concept click with me.
1:04 pm
72 Temple Owl

molly, honestly, my mom's pyrex. i just shook my head. but again, not about $ so much as being as wanted as they were when i had them
1:04 pm
penquis

we also sold some glass items for more than expected to an antique dealer who specialized in glass....
1:04 pm
origami

That's pretty creepy Pen.
1:05 pm
MollyL

There is someone here who makes really creepy death dolls that would probably love it
1:05 pm
penquis

very....we did not know who it was....
1:05 pm
72 Temple Owl

that was a big thing in victorian times...death photos and saving hair. i've sen hair jewelry and pictures made out of hair.
1:05 pm
MollyL

Some glass is real big with the antique people
1:06 pm
cybernan

people should make sure their kids know what is valuable and what isn't. When we were breaking up my parents house I gave an edinburh crystal vase that had belonged to my grandmother to a d-i-l. I haven't seen it in years, so I don't know what happened to it. I hope she still has it because it is worth between $1500 - $1700.
1:07 pm
penquis

true if you know what has value...the best selling item at our yard sale was a leather trunk (locked) that my father picked up at the side of the road and hid in the garage so my mother wouldn't see it...
1:07 pm
72 Temple Owl

as an avid fan of antique and vintage, things are only worth anything to those who want them. right now the market is flooded with goods as boomers age and downsize.
1:08 pm
72 Temple Owl

friends of a friend had a whole house of antiques recently auctioned, and they hardly got anything for them.
1:08 pm
MollyL

I remember my parents Corningware percolater. I would love to have one of those.
1:08 pm
penquis

and younger people have different taste....not interested in dish sets, for example....
1:09 pm
72 Temple Owl

you can surely find one, molly. i've seen many, consition is jey
1:09 pm
penquis

we have a local antique dealer who will do free appraisals on Tuesdays....
1:09 pm
cybernan

certainly not interested in fine china that has to be hand washed, that is for sure.
1:09 pm
MollyL

Trunks always seem to intrigue people. I have an old one that my father-in-law found in an abandoned house. It's a steamer trunk.
1:09 pm
72 Temple Owl

oh yes, dish sets. and in furniture, dining room is nearly impossible to unload now
1:10 pm
72 Temple Owl

trunks are great. so versatile.
1:10 pm
MollyL

That trunk opens sideways and served as a bar for a while.
1:10 pm
penquis

nice...
1:10 pm
72 Temple Owl

sorry, make that condition is key. i love my corning, the original non stick cookware. and not toxic.
1:10 pm

My dining table will be sold to someone for a conference room probably -- it is 7* in diamater and seats 10 people.
1:11 pm

1:11 pm

It is a different world and nobdy endertains like we used to anymore.
1:12 pm
72 Temple Owl

i monitor the site that sells mine, it's astounding what sells.
1:12 pm
72 Temple Owl

anything will sell if the right person comes along. that's where the internet is very helpful, to get things to that person.
1:13 pm
72 Temple Owl

and to allow them to search for specific items.
1:13 pm
cybernan

I have one corning piece left -- a 9" pie plate with the little blue flower in the centre.
1:13 pm
MollyL

Not only do people not entertain, a lot of them don't cook. Which is why COVID was such a rude awakening for many.
1:14 pm
cybernan

lol - that is true Molly
1:14 pm
MollyL

That is part of the reason the grocery stores emptied out. People didn't know what to buy so they just bought everything they could get their hands on.
1:15 pm
cybernan

although in all fairness, fewer women can afford to stay at home anymore. If I worked all day, I wouldn't want to have to come home and cook meals either.

when beginning with an e, there's only one n, so my middle aged brain gets it mixed up

joym999

I feel like a real ID5 because it took me ages to find the ID5.
7:30 pm
hokie carla

well, I could've sworn I tried that ja7 but it's possible I left a vowel out of the middle and made it a 6. thx
7:30 pm

hokie carla

thanks, both babblets and I didn't see either
7:39 pm
frobscottler

what does that mean?
7:39 pm
hokie carla

babblets are 4 or 5 letter words only seen here and no one knows them
7:39 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

babblets are little weird words that show up often because they are composed of common letters
7:39 pm
frobscottler

[also, tedia def deserves to be the plural of tedium imo]
7:40 pm
frobscottler

ahh like little maddening easter eggs?
7:40 pm
hokie carla

one ends in freud's thing or another term for driver's license

Book Doctor Gwen

te5 = te + double vowel + 2-point consonant

I even looked through Enable and could NOT find anything... do you guys just find them through trial and error?
7:45 pm
hokie carla

just learn them after a while
7:45 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

after playing boggle and this game for 40 years you learn all sorts of weird words (not what they mean, maybe, but that they exist) LOL
7:47 pm
hokie carla

you know about the list, but if you can't find a specific word you can use websites like a2zwordfinder, morewords, and my favorite bestwordlist to look them up
7:48 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

also, we use the word list (see the tiny green link at the bottom, Lickety's Babble Clues
7:48 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

and when I get stuck i use moreword.com
7:48 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

oops, morewords.com
