7:33 am

M!M!z

wow, a dutch woman. amazing the things i learn at babble.

7:37 am

MollyL

Similar sounding to the German word for woman. I'm sure Sprite was jazzed to see Dutch in the grid.

7:42 am

M!M!z

7:59 am

mael

I got that one

8:00 am

dan2bit

and its anagram

8:00 am

mattygroves

I have quite a few, but all short words - I can't imagine what the de7 could be

8:00 am

welki

think of john oglethorpe

8:00 am

dan2bit

those who owe

8:01 am

mattygroves

I have no idea who he is - but Dan's clue I feel will do it :)

8:01 am

mattygroves

Thank you!

8:02 am

dan2bit

yw

8:03 am

mattygroves

Sunbed is absolutely a word!

8:11 am

welki

there's not too much i remember from history class, don't know why oglethorpe managed to stay put in my old brain :)

8:12 am

hurshy

wasn't an oglethorpe the founder of one of the colonies? south carolina? maryland?

8:13 am

welki

georgia - and also the 'founder' of those de7 prisons

8:13 am

hurshy

no, georgia

8:13 am

hurshy

but that was James Oglethorpe

8:13 am

hurshy

not John

8:14 am

welki

well, i did say i don't remember much - you're right :)

8:14 am

hurshy

any help for the top E?

8:15 am

welki

to put on your housecoat

8:15 am

hurshy

ah thanks!

8:16 am

hurshy

kept trying en + _____ cabinet instead lol

8:16 am

welki

i did, too

8:18 am

MollyL

That word has so many "other words" for it. Housecoat, duster, kimono, dressing gown. I guess it depends on where you are from. I haven't heard housecoat since my Mom.

8:18 am

mattygroves

My grandma wore housecoats, and called them such

8:19 am

MollyL

Did she wear slippers with that? Or houseshoes?

8:19 am

mattygroves

Oooh - good question! We joked that we never saw her legs, earlobes or lips - even in a housecoat she always had hose, lipstick and large clipon earrings

8:20 am

MollyL

My Mom would also call certain slippers "scuffs".

8:20 am

aslindy

clue for us5 please?

8:20 am

hurshy

i think scuffs is the kind that are open at the back?

8:21 am

aslindy

never mind

8:21 am

mattygroves

No, grandma's were never open at the back - they were fabric pumps, sort of

8:22 am

MollyL

Yeah, a lot of my Mom's slippers were the open at the back kind. She wore slippers because she didn't like bare feet. The complete opposite of me, who would live barefoot if it were possible.

8:28 am

mkg

We referred to slippers without backs as scuffs too.

8:43 am

aslindy

clue for ob please?

Got the goose. Ty.

9:21 am

clue for fe6 please?

9:21 am

hokie carla

yes, you, as a guest

9:21 am

rururocks

fe6 anise

9:21 am

rururocks

oh yup that was me

9:22 am

penquis

fe 6 is something you might put in your salad or cook your mussels with (i don't like them that way)....

9:22 am

hokie carla

I knew that punster was you but you must've missed when I asked in the chat

9:22 am

mkg

Great clue for fe. Ty\

9:22 am

thank you.

Ccorn

9:23 am

Ooops sorry

9:23 am

hokie carla

just too little time to respond

9:23 am

aslindy

I have never had fe6 in a salad

9:23 am

penquis

i made one once...

9:23 am

mael

I eat straight fe6 salad, with mustard dressing

9:23 am

hokie carla

not sure I've had fe6 before in anything

9:24 am

rururocks

i make all kinds of fe6 dishes.. so deliciosu

9:24 am

aslindy

I've never had it fresh

9:24 am

mael

I hate i cooked, so I only eat it freshed

9:24 am

hokie carla

where is harry, missing all this talk

9:25 am

aslindy

I was going to grow some this year but almost everything was killed in an unexpected late spring frost

9:25 am

mkg

Tastes like anise so if you like that it is delicious. But i can only take a small amount.

9:25 am

rururocks

the trick is to have a pot of hot boiling water with a touch of salt.. and a big bowl of water with an ice bath.. you thinly slice the fe6 and toss in the pot for ONE MINUTE.. and drain and put in the ice bath.. then add to salads

9:26 am

mkg

Interesting. Ty

9:26 am

aslindy

thanks ruru, I'll try to remember that

9:27 am

cybernan

never thought of blanching it and using it in a salad - will have to try that

9:27 am

mael

I hate liquorice, so cooked fe is too much

9:28 am

rururocks

wow.. i love licorice

9:29 am

hokie carla

yeah, not a licorice fan either

9:29 am

aslindy

I like licorice but my husband does not

9:30 am

mael

but the dressing makes the raw fe salad, just oil, vinegar, yellow mustard, and salt and pepper. it's delicious!

9:30 am

hokie carla

I think it's one of those divisive love it or hate it tastes like cilantro (which I love so much I want to marry it)

9:30 am

mael

i loooove cilantro too

9:31 am

penquis

my neighbor thinks it tastes like soap...

9:31 am

rururocks

i make a fe6, avocado, grapefruit, shrimp, radish and endive salad with a champagne vinaigrette

9:31 am

rururocks

that's genetic pen..

9:31 am

hokie carla

yes, the haters have a genetic thing that makes it taste like soap

9:32 am

aslindy

interesting recipe, ruru, trying to imagine that and getting stuck on the grapefruit

9:33 am

rururocks

pink grapefruit segments.. and a touch of the left over juice in the dressing with mustard, Champagne Vinegar, olive oil White balsamic vinegar and salt and pepper

9:33 am

hokie carla

grapefruit interferes with some meds though

9:34 am

penquis

statins...

9:34 am

hokie carla

I think HBP meds

9:34 am

hokie carla

ah

9:34 am

penquis

cholesterol meds....

9:34 am

hokie carla

phantom doctors. I'm sure someone else has seen and called it

9:34 am

mael

grapefruit is the only thing that triggers my skin sensitivities, it's weird

9:35 am

rururocks

then you must have a zest for life mael

9:35 am

cybernan

co 7 please?

9:36 am

rururocks

eye part nan

9:36 am

penquis

do you have the co 2/27?....alt spelling...

9:36 am

penquis

both are co 7 words...ru's and mine....

9:36 am

aslindy

there are 2 co 7

9:36 am

hokie carla

wow, I thought the 6 was a phantom. can't look in other directions!

9:37 am

cybernan

sorry - have the eye part - looking for co 7/40

9:37 am

penquis

that would be mine...

9:37 am

cybernan

ty pen

9:37 am

penquis

yw....

9:38 am

aslindy

I don't have the 6/27 pen, any other clue?

9:38 am

hokie carla

but is yours co6/27? you said 2, but I assume it has to be 6.

9:38 am

penquis

mine is , yes....co 7 is an alt sp of that word....

9:39 am

hokie carla

and I realize now I had blended yours and ru's clues and was trying to make an alt sp of an eye part

9:40 am

cybernan

isn't the 6/27 the centre stone of an arch?

9:40 am

aslindy

no idea

9:41 am

penquis

it is an architectural term, yes....don't know exactly...

9:41 am

hokie carla

still haven't found it, but I generally don't know architecture words

9:41 am

penquis

just add a letter inside that word....

9:42 am

hokie carla

just "officially" on the U right now

9:48 am

rururocks

i'm not finding that co 6/27

9:48 am

rururocks

the top stone in an arch is a keystone

9:48 am

rururocks

or capstone. Not sure what you guys are talking about

9:49 am

penquis

ends like what some cows have around their necks....

9:49 am

hokie carla

I'm assuming the 3rd letter is one thing but maybe that is where I'm going wrong.

9:49 am

cybernan

we're talking about the co 6/27

9:50 am

cybernan

maybe it is a corner stone -- something to do with those 13C churches

9:50 am

hokie carla

ah, it was the 4th letter

9:50 am

rururocks

thanks. a new word for me.. never saw that before

9:50 am

penquis

my friends mother used to call her in for supper by ringing one of those (the cow thing).....

9:50 am

hokie carla

it's a timber supporting a girder

9:50 am

aslindy

guess I am brain dead today

9:51 am

hokie carla

and the 7 is a sculptured ornament, usually a basket

9:51 am

penquis

a sculptured ornament, especially on a capital, having the form of a basket....

9:52 am

aslindy

ok, finally got it

9:52 am

penquis

i know nothing about architecture....

9:52 am

cybernan

yes pen - just remember the word from the descriptions of some of those buildings we toured in Europe

9:52 am

rururocks

you just start reading about it pen and then build on your knowledge :D

9:53 am

penquis

yes....my alt sp clue was just to give you five of the six letters....

9:53 am

penquis

i will plan to do that, ru....

9:56 am

hokie carla

I assume the v is a VR?

9:57 am

hokie carla

nm

9:57 am

hokie carla

35 left after first pass ðŸ˜¡

9:57 am

cybernan

those su words are all new to me except for the two obvious ones

9:59 am

penquis

great...something to look forward to...

9:59 am

hokie carla

I have 2 SU and they are regular. guess I will start making some up!

10:00 am

10:00 am

penquis

10:00 am

penquis

10:01 am

cybernan

yes - I found the compound on my own, but needed the list for the rest

10:01 am

rururocks

i'm stuck with 7 to go

10:01 am

penquis

are there more than five SU words?...

10:01 am

rururocks

6 si

10:01 am

cybernan

su x6

10:02 am

rururocks

6 su that is

10:02 am

penquis

ok, thanks...need one more...

10:03 am

hokie carla

I only need 2 S's. looks like both SU then.

10:04 am

penquis

i have one, but i am missing one SU word...

10:04 am

hokie carla

sunrot - what our porch railing got due to the morning sun blasting on it for years

10:04 am

hokie carla

ooh, found one

10:04 am

cybernan

su 6 x3

10:05 am

hokie carla

ok, then my last is not a 6

10:05 am

penquis

i have those...figured i was missing a five...

10:07 am

cybernan

10:19 am

10:20 am

penquis

i know she has met some of them, not sure though...

10:20 am

car.eeyore

There is one in Attleboro, Fall River, Sudbury, etc. Want to talk cookie with people who get me!

10:22 am

I've only been doing this since 2019, so I have so much to learn.

10:23 am

penquis

LOL....she has been doing this a while...started as something she could work at from home with three small boys at the time....now one is a college grad, one in college and one a junior in high school....

10:26 am

car.eeyore

I was dabbling at Christmas and then my mum died and I needed something to focus on.

10:26 am

rururocks

10:26 am

penquis

well you've done very well!....

10:26 am

car.eeyore

rururocks

10:26 am

car.eeyore

Thank you ruru

10:27 am

car.eeyore

I don't get much time to do cookies I would like to do...most are custom orders...but I am thankful for the business and the chance to be at home.

10:27 am

rururocks

when my mom dies I won't be baking cookies

10:30 am

rururocks

but I'm glad you had a close family and you're doing it to feel good and having fun with it.

10:30 am

car.eeyore

It was either that or fall apart ... so I picked that.

10:31 am

rururocks

anything that makes one feel better is a good thing. Good on you

10:31 am

hokie carla

I need something right now. having a bit of empty nest syndrome.

10:31 am

car.eeyore

It was so much to process after caring for her for 10 years. And then Dad died in November, so I just kept going.

10:32 am

penquis

glad you found something you love to do...

10:32 am

car.eeyore

What do you like to do Carla? What have you always wanted to try but never have.

10:32 am

car.eeyore

I wish I believed in myself as much as others do...but hopefully that will come.

10:33 am

hokie carla

well I like to sew but just kind of in limbo right now because I don't want to unpack everything in our temp. house. I might bake a cake today.

10:33 am

rururocks

it just begins with little acknowledgements car..

10:33 am

hokie carla

it's so cold here today (I know it's warmer than up there, but too cold)

10:33 am

penquis

one step at a time...

10:34 am

car.eeyore

There you go! Is there something you could make sewing wise for a local community group (scarves, mittens, or other)?

10:34 am

penquis

44 here right now...

10:34 am

origami

Hi folks. Your cookies look wonderful, car.

10:34 am

car.eeyore

Thank you origami

10:34 am

penquis

hi ori...

10:35 am

hokie carla

45 here, so not much warmer

10:35 am

penquis

i am actually ok with the temp....too warm for snow... ;o)

10:35 am

rururocks

i much prefer summer around here

10:35 am

hokie carla

I have this additional problem of trying to get rid of my barbie collection so I can have more room to unpack things in my sewing room.

10:35 am

car.eeyore

Hubs and I just commented how lovely it is even though it is 43

10:36 am

hokie carla

yesterday it was 44 and rainy, feels like 40. that's the worst, I'd rather have snow in that case.

10:36 am

car.eeyore

Do you want to get rid of the collection?

10:36 am

car.eeyore

That seems like a lifetime love!

10:36 am

car.eeyore

cold rain does suck

10:37 am

car.eeyore

I've also become more active in my church (Lay Leader) and I have found that incredibly rewarding and healing.

10:37 am

penquis

well i am taking a break...bbl to finish...bye all....

10:37 am

car.eeyore

By pen! TY for introducing me to your niece ?)

10:37 am

car.eeyore

:)

10:37 am

hokie carla

yeah, I haven't been collecting since the early 2000s and they've just been hanging out in my basement in a closet until we moved, so I need to just get rid of them. my mom said I could bring them to her basement but it's unfinished and I don't think they'd fare well there. been trying to sell them on ebay but it's a lot of work.

10:38 am

car.eeyore

Ugh...that is tough.

10:38 am

hokie carla

mr. homie wants to just drop them at goodwill

10:38 am

car.eeyore

Ummmm...no.

10:39 am

hokie carla

I might try to find another charity that's more women/kids focused or one that can sell them (for not $1 each) themselves.

10:41 am

car.eeyore

Do you have a local historical society that has events? Perhaps see if there is an opportunity there for a auction item?

10:41 am

hokie carla

or I might try to rent a space at a local flea market a couple of weekends (but you have to get there at like 5am. ugh)

10:42 am

car.eeyore

Is there not a Facebook group or online group that you could offer to sell them through? It seems to me that there should be! Barbie is history!

10:42 am

car.eeyore

They have a really great ad out for this holiday season.

10:43 am

car.eeyore

Very inclusive and inspiring for EVERYONE to play with dolls.

10:44 am

hokie carla

even mine from the 70s/80s aren't worth that much. barbie collecting got really big and then the bottom dropped out. I have a few that are not worthless and will definitely put those on ebay.

hokie carla

but like the other night I listed one for $46 (I always look at the ones that have sold recently and price likewise) and someone sent me a message within 10 min - "will you take $20?". um, no. I'll let the auction run for a week and see what happens first.

10:45 am

penquis

carla....have you done the Bee today?....it's the quickest I have gotten to Genius... ;o)

11:46 am

hokie carla

yes, pretty easy today. was mad when I looked at yesterday's - only missed 3 words and they were regular words.

11:51 am

penquis

bummer...

11:52 am

penquis

i only missed one yesterday....emcee....

11:52 am

hokie carla

cameo, emcee, and mecca

11:52 am

hokie carla

that's an even bigger bummer, so close

11:53 am

penquis

yes, frustrating not to know how close you are when you are playing...

11:55 am

hokie carla

I did peek at the hints and saw I needed 3 words, but I did not look at the hints to see what they started with.

11:56 am

hokie carla

I know today I still need 7 words, but that doesn't really help me.

11:57 am

penquis

to make genius?

11:58 am

hokie carla

to find them all

11:58 am

penquis

ah....i understand....hints told you how many words there are....

11:58 am

hokie carla

I made genius and found one or two more

11:58 am

penquis

i haven't tried that...

11:58 am

hokie carla

yes, exactly

11:59 am

hokie carla

so I don't really feel it's cheating since it doesn't really help me, just tells me how close I am. do I want to keep going or just be content with genius.

11:59 am

penquis

how many are there today?

11:59 am

hokie carla

28 today. I have 21.

12:00 pm

penquis

i understand...

12:00 pm

penquis

i have 25, so i have three left to find....

12:01 pm

hokie carla

total words is on the same line as total points (which also really doesn't help) and no. of pangrams and whether there's a bingo (word from each letter), so I try to look just at the total words only.

12:01 pm

penquis

i see...

12:03 pm

hokie carla

good luck to you!

12:04 pm

penquis

ty, to you, too...

9:45 pm

Uneaixoise

Clue for co6/27? A non-bracket clue? :-)

9:45 pm

Sophie512

I think the thick bracket is also maybe french for basket

9:45 pm

Sophie512

or a basket shape used in architecture

9:46 pm

Uneaixoise

French for basket is panier

9:47 pm

Sophie512

is a structural piece of stone, wood or metal jutting from a wall to carry a superincumbent weight, a type of bracket.

9:51 pm

Sophie512
