It exists despite the constant negative press

7:29 am

Scrabbler

Hi aslindy and dan. I am cooking the meal for my mother and brother. Bird went in the oven at 0755. I slept later than I expected.

7:33 am

dan2bit

we ordered thanksgiving from a restaurant - just have to take it out of the fridge around 3 and start heating things up around 5. I have to wake the house for the parade soon

7:35 am

MPittore

Bichon, good band!

7:39 am

Scrabbler

Haha.

7:40 am

aslindy

we aren't having our big meal until 6 PM. just the 3 of us - me, hubby, our youngest daughter who lives with us. she works as a pie baker and the past week is the busiest of the year. Mon - Wed she worked 38 hours. so she is sleeping in today.

7:42 am

aslindy

hubby was going to smoke the turkey today but it's mid-40s and rainy so it's going in the oven instead.

7:43 am

Hi welki!

there's an olympic skier in the grid today

8:25 am

welki

hi, scrabs!

8:26 am

Scrabbler

I am talking with mom so she is reviewing the news and obituaries.

8:27 am

welki

her morning routine :)

8:27 am

rururocks

that'

8:29 am

rururocks

that's a bit creepy reading obituaries

8:29 am

Scrabbler

That is her daily routine. She wishes there were a website called causeofdeath.com

8:30 am

welki

better now than later, in front of the kids

8:35 am

rururocks

my ex has a penchant for reading obits too.. I always thought it was weird ... especially if you don't know the people in the column

8:35 am

Soodle

There's a website here called rip.ie, and it lists all the deaths which occur. You can sign up for email notifications for a particular name/location etc. They don't give the cause of death, though! On that cheery note, I wish you Americans a very happy Thanksgiving.

8:37 am

Scrabbler

Ruru, my mother, even at 90, remains an idealist so cannot understand why kids and younger folks die.

8:37 am

Scrabbler

Hi Soodle

8:37 am

hurshy

morning friends! i am thankful for BABBLE!

8:37 am

rururocks

kids mostly die in accidents or being stupid and doing dangerous things...no?

8:38 am

Soodle

Hi Scrabbs :-)

8:38 am

Scrabbler

Yes, accidents/drownings.

8:38 am

Scrabbler

Hi Hurshy. Me too.

8:39 am

rururocks

I hate reading about kids being killed out here.. one was shot on the freeway for no reason

8:41 am

rururocks

it's disturbing how increasingly violent our country has gotten. or maybe i'm reading the news too much

8:41 am

hurshy

hmm, my attempt to cheer things up does not seem to have worked

8:42 am

hurshy

it was always violent though

8:42 am

rururocks

I wish I wasn't addicted to babble myself hursh (nice try though)

8:43 am

Scrabbler

TY, Hurshy. This is our daily addiction.

8:43 am

hurshy

deaths by violence in the world over time have actually trended downward, IIRC

8:44 am

rururocks

IIRC?

8:44 am

hurshy

if i recall correctly

8:45 am

rururocks

i kind of doubt that hursh

8:47 am

hurshy

no look, here's the book review from scientific american about it: https://tinyurl.com/exku3fz9

8:47 am

Scrabbler

Clues for the O and the bottom E?

8:47 am

8:49 am

Scrabbler

TY for the O word. Working on ef6.

8:50 am

Scrabbler

Got it. TY.

8:50 am

hurshy

gotta love how the patriarchy had equated femininity with lack of energy... lol

8:50 am

rururocks

our moms are about the same age scrabs.. mine is 93

8:51 am

rururocks

ef6 isn't feminine is it? I thought it meant degenerate types

8:51 am

Scrabbler

My mom is funny.

8:51 am

rururocks

my mom is NOT funny

8:52 am

hurshy

yeah, i guess it's just mixed up with effeminate, doesn't actually mean that

8:52 am

hurshy

my mom is only funny by accident

8:56 am

Scrabbler

I have to check on the turkey. And check on my escaped rabbit.

8:56 am

hurshy

:O

8:58 am

hurshy

name that proper noun! famous captive orca

8:59 am

Scrabbler

I forgot to put the gate up last night so one escaped. The sister is timid and never leaves the room.

8:59 am

hurshy

9:02 am

hurshy

9:03 am

hurshy

i hate when i can't see any more A words and i start just sticking "a" on the front of any old other word in case it works

9:04 am

Scrabbler

That 1st column, 4th row A is challenging me.

9:04 am

hurshy

yeah, i have found some strange ones and feel proud, but i still need 2 more

9:05 am

joym999

Hi everybody and Happy Thanksgiving if you're in the U.S., or even if you aren't.

11:38 am

MollyL

What? You mean other countries don't spend a week getting ready for one meal? Hard to believe.
: D

11:39 am

joym999

...one meal that will be consumed in 15 minutes. It's nuts but I do it every year. I've been cooking since Sunday.

11:41 am

MollyL

One of my sons manages a restaurant and they are open today (shame on them) so I am getting ready to go deliver him his Thanksgiving goodies.

11:42 am

joym999

I guess restaurants can make a lot of money opening on holidays, but I also wish all businesses would close down and let their employees just be with their families.

11:44 am

MollyL

We went there for Thanksgiving last year but I am not throwing them my money on holidays anymore.

11:52 am

cybernan

good morning all. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone south of the border :)

dan2bit

we just finished. it was really good. a highlight for me was a brussels sprouts dish with grapes & yogurt & fig jam and walnuts that we would never have tried if we were cooking "trad"

6:54 pm

dan2bit

also really good roasted sweet potatoes, plus gravy and all the regular stuff. it took about an hour from unboxing to eating - the turkey was already sliced and boneless

6:56 pm

dan2bit

the restaurant is called ilili, in the flatiron district in Manhattan. don't ask me to pronounce it though :-)

Well done mkg. Hi all. Happy Thanksgiving to my American friends. I expec you're all full, sated and a little bit drunk now. Hope you all had a good day.

9:57 pm

Jacula

*expect. (Bloody keyboard is sticking again. I'll ask for a few new ones for Christmas. I get through a lot of keyboards!)

9:58 pm

Jacula

Was very sad to hear Torgone (Tom Judkins) died last Monday. I had no idea he was ill.

9:59 pm

wht

What sad news Jacula

9:59 pm

Jacula

I wished him Happy Birthday on FB on 8th of this month and was only talking to him on here and on there about a week ago.

10:00 pm

Uneaixoise

Yes....such a shock.....very very sad to hear :-(

10:01 pm

Jacula

It was a shock, Une, yes.

10:04 pm

Jacula

wht - I suppose it's inevitable when you play a game for around 18 years, that you lose fellow players along the way. Doesn't make it any less sad though.

10:07 pm

Jacula

Does anyone need any clues for the current grid? I'm awake because the neighbour opposite has decided to leave her multi-coloured, rapidly flashing Christmas lights, which directly face my bedroom window, on all night.

10:08 pm

Jacula

I do have blackout curtains but the flashing lights still flash through the cracks.

10:10 pm

wht

Indeed, it is inevitable. All i know of most players it the little bit I can see through this tiny chat window. Torgone always seemed to me to be helpful to other players and a person of good humor. I always was glad to see him show up in the chat.

10:11 pm

wht

I could use a clue for the sa6,30

10:12 pm

Jacula

wht - sa6.30 sounds like what Santa carries his toys in, but uses a 5-point tile with the usual vowel after it, plus another vowel. Hope that wasn't too specific!

10:14 pm

wht

ty jac. It worked for me and that is fireworks.

10:14 pm

Jacula

y/w what and well done!

10:15 pm

Jacula

sa6.30 is actually the Spanish word for booty taken from enemies in wartime.

10:16 pm

Jacula

Anyone else need any clues, since I'm here?

10:16 pm

wht

Good night all. Happy Babbling.

10:17 pm

Jacula

Goodnight wht. Sleep well.

10:22 pm

Jacula

I think I'll got back to bed and start reading my new book if no one else needs any clues.

10:23 pm

Jacula

Speak now or forever hold your peace. lol
