Really, really p**d off here! Somebody using Android, as far as I can tell, must have hacked into my FB account last night and now I'm locked out of my own account. FB help is no bloody help at all! It won't even let me change my password. If I have to make a new account I will lose 15 years' worth of photos and posts, not to mention have to re-contact all my friends. It's also the main way I keep in touch with friends and family each day. GRRR!

1:19 am

Jacula

I don't use FB on my phone and don't have an Android phone anyway, so I know it wasn't me!

1:20 am

Jacula

Can't even find out how to contact a real person who works for FB to sort it out.

1:22 am

Jacula

If any Babble friends who are friends with me on FB see this, can you please look at my page and see what's going on there and if it still looks like me?

1:23 am

Jacula

Don't try to PM me, as my messenger is on FB. Email, if you know my email.

1:23 am

Jacula

Or tell me on here.

1:23 am

Jacula

Oh, I'm so angry!

1:45 am

Jacula

*~*~*~*FIREWORKS!*~*~*~* Anger has obviously spurred me on!

I mean WHY would anyone want to hack an FB account that mostly talks about cats, dogs, foxes and hedgehogs, gardening, baking and knitting? I have made a few 'rude; remarks about a certain mad president recently. Maybe that's it?

1:48 am

aebmusica

fe5/18(second one).....clue please

1:55 am

aebmusica

nvm

2:17 am

Jacula

I just logged into the Twitter account I opened years ago and never used and tweeted that my FB acount had been hacked and then got asked for verification on that site. Is this a Russian cyber attack on social media accounts?

2:18 am

Jacula

I'm not normally one for conspiracy theories, but, these days, who knows?

3:09 am

rbud

I guess we're not friends on FB, but the newest thing I can see is where you changed your profile pic on Mar 7 to a drawing that looks like it was done with crayons? If you did that yourself, then at least that's ok. I had to go to the Babble FB page and look under files to find your "real" or Facebook name there, wasn't totally positive what it was, though it turned out I was right.

3:11 am

rbud

If the worst happens, your friends there should be able to snag up all your pics and send them to you in emails, but that sure does sound like a lot of work. hopefully it will work out, good luck!

Ooh, gerunds aplenty!

yes, indeed, quite a few. :)

5:15 am

rbud

in fact, the en 9 is one as well.

5:15 am

ItalianGreyhound

Good morning

5:16 am

sukee

Thank you for that, it gave me a few words.

5:20 am

ItalianGreyhound

Teflon not a word

5:20 am

sukee

nope a proper name

5:54 am

mattygroves

May I have a bit of a clue for the ye6/24 please? I'm just not seeing it (the hammering and drilling next door isn't helping, I suspect!)

5:56 am

ItalianGreyhound

its like a shortened gerund, Matty

5:57 am

ItalianGreyhound

uses double vowels

5:57 am

mattygroves

Thank you! I had a friend in primary school with that name ;)

5:58 am

ItalianGreyhound

thats a first!

5:58 am

mattygroves

I believe she was originally from Taiwan

6:18 am

Thought the en 9 might have a plural 10, but no

Gerund - I'm just lazing around, doing nothing, hanging around, watching the world. Or a car does this when the engine is on but going nowhere

how's it going?

8:22 am

Shirlockc

watching the live address of zelenskyy -- he is very inspirational

8:22 am

hurshy

phantom: dinghy

8:27 am

rbud

a lot of it is not a phantom, though I'm sure the meaning is different.

8:28 am

hurshy

meaning very different

8:28 am

rbud

guess your dinghy could be di5, haha.

8:28 am

hurshy

that's why i decided it was ok to say

8:29 am

hurshy

Etymology Matters!

8:29 am

Shirlockc

whatever floats your boat hurshy!

8:29 am

MollyL

Of course it contains di4 but no one seems to care about that anymore

8:30 am

hurshy

one would care if it were actually the same root. that is why Etymology Matters!

8:30 am

BzznBea

Some people care.

8:31 am

hurshy

i refuse to believe that anyone is robbed of the chance to find di4 on their own because i posted that. it's way too obvious a word for you not to have already seen

8:31 am

BzznBea

I agree, hurshy.

8:37 am

mattygroves

I have one Y from the top Y - the yi4/7 - may I have stats for either of the others, please?

8:38 am

hurshy

it's what you do at a yellow traffic light

8:38 am

phaeton

yi5/16

8:38 am

hurshy

or when entering the motorway

8:38 am

BzznBea

yi4, 5, 6

8:38 am

mattygroves

Ah, thank you

8:38 am

mattygroves

Twisty!

8:39 am

bichon

el 7/40, pls

8:39 am

Shirlockc

stats for the bottom Y? anyone?

8:39 am

hurshy

el7 is when you are smushing two sounds together when saying words

8:39 am

MollyL

ye6/24

8:40 am

BzznBea

ye6.24

8:40 am

BzznBea

el7 uses the gerund

8:40 am

MollyL

Babble says "smushing is not in the dictionary"
ðŸ˜Š

8:40 am

bichon

ty hurshy

8:41 am

hurshy

:O

8:43 am

Shirlockc

hmmm on both the ye and the el, will work on it later

8:44 am

hurshy

ye6 vaguely reminds me of Prince Humperdinck's security guy, it just has one letter changed

8:46 am

BzznBea

I keep thinking Russian prez Boris.

8:46 am

MollyL

That is a Princess Bride reference for those of you who are wondering who Prince Humperdink is

8:47 am

MollyL

Give us the gate key. I have no gate key. Fezzik, tear his arms off. Oh, you mean THIS gate key.

8:48 am

MollyL

Yoo hoo, Ru. We are talking about your favorite movie again.

8:49 am

bichon

Ours too

8:49 am

Meatball421

am I blind, says "felting" does not exist in the puzzle

8:50 am

hurshy

yes but you probably mean it, bichon. molly is kidding about ruru - he famously refuses to watch it, having a mistaken idea that it is a chick flick

8:50 am

hurshy

felting doesn't, you can't make "ting"

8:50 am

BzznBea

feltiing is in the grid

8:50 am

BzznBea

but not felting

8:51 am

Meatball421

it keeps rejecting me saying no

8:51 am

hurshy

for the reasons we just cited

8:51 am

BzznBea

You can't get to the ng without going to two II

8:52 am

Meatball421

ok I see it now, an extra i is in the way

8:54 am

rururocks

I donâ€™t know why I get castigated for disliking Princesse Bride. Oh wellâ€¦

8:54 am

rbud

the only other movie (back when) that affected me anything like the Princess Bride was Young Frankenstein - it was a similar type of humor, you know, in a way.

8:54 am

hurshy

disliking is not the same as refusing to watch in the first place

8:55 am

rbud

Though YF was far more "out there"

8:55 am

Uneaixoise

LOVE Young Frankenstein!!

8:55 am

hurshy

anyway i don't think there was any actual castigation there, i merely said that one would be "mistaken" to call it a chick flick and molly was just teasing you

8:56 am

rururocks

I tried to watch it hursh. It was dumb and boring and far too hammy for me

8:56 am

hurshy

if you'd like i could castigate you for it tho

8:57 am

hurshy

phantom: legion

8:57 am

rbud

me, too, (loved YF, I mean). I think my group of college buddies went to see it a half dozen times or so. It was our cult fave, haha.

8:58 am

rbud

Madeline Kahn and Marty Feldman were great!

8:59 am

hurshy

madeline kahn also great in Clue

8:59 am

hokie carla

also great in blazing saddles

9:00 am

BzznBea

Wordle today is to take a lot of people to six tries.

9:01 am

rbud

"Ah, sweet mystery of life, at last I've found you..." bwahaha!!

9:01 am

hokie carla

guess I should go get started then

9:01 am

hurshy

oho, i finally found something that uses -ish as an ending meaning somewhat

9:03 am

BzznBea

Well t;s not relish

9:03 am

BzznBea

its

9:03 am

hurshy

well that wouldn't mean "somewhat rel" anyway...

9:05 am

hurshy

phantom: feelings... nothing more than feelings

9:05 am

Meatball421

I just found Wordle Unlimited, just what I needed another addiction

9:06 am

hurshy

i couldn't get addicted to wordle, it isn't fun for more than 5 mins

9:06 am

hokie carla

well, I have 1 guess left and at least 2 options, probably more

9:08 am

hokie carla

4 options, odds are getting worse

9:08 am

hurshy

i wish i could give you a hint but then anyone who saw it would have it ruint

9:08 am

BzznBea

Do you need the first and last letter?

9:08 am

hurshy

and as it is only one word, not one out of 233, that seems bad

9:10 am

mattygroves

morewords has a Wordle solver ;)

9:10 am

BzznBea

I had all the correct letters except the first at three. Took me to six to get it.

9:10 am

hokie carla

I don't want a hint, but thanks

9:10 am

hokie carla

and just saw another, so 5 optionsw

9:10 am

rbud

morewords has Morewordle, I've been doing the 5 and 6 letter ones, but not tried the 7's yet. There's a solver for the 5's, too

9:11 am

hurshy

matty - i don't think that would help, it can probably only suggest possibilities, no? it can't know which of the possibilities is right

9:11 am

mattygroves

Well, have a look - you can put in all the letters you've already tried as well

9:11 am

BzznBea

I found the somewhat word.

9:12 am

hurshy

^5

9:12 am

rbud

yeah, sometimes it doesn't help to have all but the first letter, too many choices. I just always try to pick the most common one and hope for the best.

9:13 am

hokie carla

OK, picked one and it was wrong, but one letter off. It also wasn't even in my 5 options.

9:13 am

hurshy

ha

9:13 am

rbud

but the morewordle solver does seem to work, as long as you check off the right colors for the letters.

9:14 am

hokie carla

I mean the answer wasn't in what I thought was left

9:14 am

mattygroves

I read an article somewhere about the best starting word for Wordle. The general consensus was that AROSE is ideal. So I use it every time, with mixed success

9:14 am

BzznBea

It was a tough one.

9:14 am

hurshy

i got today's in 3, go figure

9:14 am

mattygroves

(haven't yet found the 'somewhat word)

9:15 am

hurshy

i have a so funny clue! i hope someone asks for one for the word for which i have it

9:15 am

hokie carla

why do I insist on typing in intel every time?

9:16 am

hurshy

because you used to work for the CIA

9:16 am

LuvWordGames

because words like awol and info are accepted

9:16 am

hurshy

just guessing

9:16 am

Meatball421

I do it too

9:16 am

hokie carla

I guess, but no one's supposed to know that, hurshy

9:17 am

hokie carla

this game is not starting out well either. haven't got half on a single tile.

9:17 am

mattygroves

How many letters is the 'somewhat' word, please?

9:17 am

BzznBea

I did intel too...more than once.

9:17 am

BzznBea

six

9:17 am

LuvWordGames

phantoms for me are single and shindig

9:18 am

hokie carla

and singlet

9:18 am

BzznBea

I love a good shindig.

9:18 am

LuvWordGames

me too :-)

9:18 am

CowExploder

shindig reminds me of firefly

9:18 am

hokie carla

how about a shingid?

9:19 am

hokie carla

firefly the tv show?

9:19 am

mattygroves

Yes, me too! I think it was even the name of an episode

9:19 am

MollyL

I agree with Hurshy about Wordle. I guess that is why I don't understand why people are constantly talking about it.

9:19 am

hokie carla

I need to have another rewatching

9:19 am

hokie carla

I literally always try atmo when it's here

9:20 am

CowExploder

yeah it was an episode. they also made reference to it on castle

9:20 am

hurshy

anyone have the 9?

9:20 am

hokie carla

didn't he dress up as mal on castle?

9:20 am

BzznBea

No 0 here

9:20 am

BzznBea

9

9:20 am

CowExploder

yeah for a halloween episode

9:21 am

mattygroves

I do - en9/90 - a gerund

9:21 am

hokie carla

I only have 23 words, that includes 1 6 and nothing higher

9:21 am

hurshy

oh the irony!!!

9:21 am

hurshy

ty matty

9:22 am

mattygroves

I feel like I've tried every possible combination for the 'somewhat' word with six letters. Clearly, though, I haven't.

9:22 am

BzznBea

The 9 must have a six?

9:23 am

LuvWordGames

yes

9:23 am

hurshy

yes

9:23 am

mattygroves

It does indeed

9:23 am

rururocks

the 9 is super easy

9:23 am

mattygroves

And the en is a prefix - once you spot it, you'll get a whole slew of words off the back of it

9:23 am

hokie carla

not if you're still asleep

9:23 am

hurshy

lol

9:24 am

hokie carla

phantom tidy

9:25 am

mattygroves

I'm guessing it would be too easy if someone told me what the 'somewhat' word starts with....?

9:25 am

BzznBea

Got it. Thanks.

9:25 am

BzznBea

o

9:25 am

hurshy

matty, you're not ***, but you have a grandchild, so you might be ******

9:25 am

hokie carla

9:25 am

mattygroves

Awww, again, I missed the obvious one trying all the nonsense words. Thanks!

9:26 am

hokie carla

just found a firefly word

9:26 am

mattygroves

Sarah is technically due today (though we know it could be anytime between now and 2 weeks from now)

9:26 am

BzznBea

How is she feeling?

9:26 am

rururocks

she's having a lot of kids isn't she?

9:26 am

CowExploder

hokie, i like that one too

9:26 am

hokie carla

aw. as someone who went 15 days over, I hope it's sooner for her.

9:26 am

mattygroves

Just the two! She feels big and tired, apparently

9:27 am

BzznBea

I'm sure she does.

9:28 am

rururocks

you get to see them soon don't you Matty?

9:28 am

hurshy

anyone else finding the upper N really hard

9:28 am

hokie carla

no, because I'm still on the really hard top row

9:28 am

hurshy

i mean i got three of them but then stuck

9:28 am

rururocks

no.. it is done for me

9:28 am

mattygroves

I fly out on the 13th

9:28 am

MollyL

I went two weeks over and had an 11 pound baby
ðŸ˜Š

9:28 am

BzznBea

It has a couple of weird words

9:29 am

mattygroves

I was 10 days late and was induced

9:29 am

hokie carla

ugh, at least my 2 week over was only 8 lbs 7 oz.

9:29 am

mattygroves

Sarah was 7lb 9oz

9:30 am

BzznBea

I had little babes. Only about six pounds.

9:30 am

MollyL

My kids were 9, 10 and 11 pounds. I never felt the need to add ounces to their birth weight.

9:30 am

rururocks

i was over 10 pounds

9:30 am

BzznBea

One of our daughters had 9 and 10 pounders.

9:31 am

rururocks

sounds like fishing bea :D

9:31 am

hokie carla

my 2nd one was only 5 days late but over 9lbs. both were induced.

9:31 am

Scrabbler

I am back after several days away while my sister visited. I missed Babble.

9:32 am

hokie carla

welcome back, scrabs

9:32 am

hurshy

hey scrabs! was it a good visit?

9:32 am

MollyL

Two of my three were induced. Pitocin is nasty stuff.

9:33 am

Scrabbler

We hiked a lot, played Scrabble, and worked on jigsaw puzzles. And laughed our asses off.

9:34 am

BzznBea

Always restorative to have a visit like that.

9:35 am

hokie carla

laughing is good!

9:35 am

BzznBea

Back for the 72 later.

9:35 am

Scrabbler

Yes, and then back to reality and work yesterday. I am off today as I work Fri-Sat-Sun.

9:36 am

hurshy

for 8s i have st and si, anyone have others?

9:36 am

hokie carla

no

9:37 am

mattygroves

I only have the st

9:40 am

hurshy

we almost have fl5st5 (Fred and Wilma) but you'd have to reuse the T

9:40 am

CowExploder

i have the to 8, but i monkeyed to get the weird chemical term

9:40 am

hurshy

argh, i can't decide which is worse, chemicals or random species of trees

9:41 am

CowExploder

birds, too

9:41 am

MollyL

9:45 am

rururocks

good morning mael.. ok here

9:45 am

rururocks

maybe with your timing matty you'll get to enjoy both grand kids.. that's fantastic

9:46 am

hurshy

last night i watched the first episode of "Murder in Provence" and one of the main characters said something about how it's weird that life can be really appalling and pretty ok all on the same day. that's how i generally feel

9:46 am

mattygroves

Oh, certainly! I'm not going for a month - Sarah won't be THAT late. I'll be there for Matilda's birthday as well

9:46 am

hokie carla

I think you forgot foreign currencies, hurshy

9:46 am

CowExploder

also very annoying, hokie

9:47 am

mael

that's great matty! I went 10 days late with my first and it was bad enough

9:48 am

Scrabbler

So true, hurshy. I just listened to Zelensky's plea to the US. Such emotion and focus on humanity. Too much to comprehend.

9:49 am

rururocks

I think Russia thought this would all be over by now

9:50 am

hokie carla

neony - a bright colored flower

9:50 am

Scrabbler

Yes, the Ukrainian people are inspiring.

9:54 am

Uneaixoise

9:59 am

rururocks

Aloy, have facial tissues with you. You will cry. His communication skills are impressive.

10:01 am

rururocks

<--- in my dreams

10:01 am

Aloyisius

ok, Scrabbs.. will do

10:01 am

hokie carla

I thought we were doing camel puns

10:02 am

rururocks

oh.. sorry i didn'

10:02 am

rururocks

i didn't get that one good one hokes

10:06 am

MollyL

She spits in your general direction

10:16 am

Aloyisius

is "neet" still sold ?

10:16 am

hokie carla

is that like nair?

10:17 am

Aloyisius

oh, right hokie

10:17 am

MollyL

Now it's Veet

10:17 am

hokie carla

wasn't it just a different brand of hair remover? I am not sure

10:18 am

Aloyisius

never used hair removers

10:18 am

MollyL

Rub on, scrape off...might as well just shave

10:19 am

Aloyisius

except for razors

10:19 am

hurshy

neet is also now an acronym standing for "not employed, in education or training"

10:19 am

CowExploder

yeah, neet is often used in japan

10:19 am

MollyL

God, there really is an acronym for everything

10:20 am

MollyL

Or AAFE

10:20 am

Aloyisius

interesting hurshy

10:20 am

hokie carla

oh, it is veet now (and since 2002)

10:20 am

MollyL

Thank you Carla for verifying that I was correct.

10:21 am

Aloyisius

never know what you'll learn on Babble (-:

10:21 am

hokie carla

well, you didn't provide any further info so I looked it up

10:22 am

MollyL

I didn't realize we needed the date the name changed.

10:22 am

hokie carla

wasn't sure if you were making a joke of some kind

10:23 am

hokie carla

but if you want to be nasty about it, go ahead

10:23 am

mael

speaking of change, who's excited about potentially not having to switch the time ever again?

10:23 am

hokie carla

that would be nice, mael

10:23 am

Aloyisius

believe it when I see it mael..

10:23 am

CowExploder

totally agree about dst

10:24 am

Scrabbler

It needs to happen.

10:24 am

CowExploder

all because of golf courses and candy companies

10:24 am

hokie carla

but I agree with aloy - I'll believe it when I see it

10:24 am

rururocks

candy companies?

10:25 am

CowExploder

candy companies like dst because more kids will trick or treat at halloween

10:25 am

CowExploder

which is why it always changes back after then

10:25 am

CowExploder

they were the ones who paid for DST to become a reality in the first place

10:25 am

rururocks

wow.. i have never heard that one

10:26 am

CowExploder

along with golf courses

10:26 am

rururocks

the golf courses someone mentioned yesterday

10:26 am

hokie carla

I'm not sure about that. it just got extended to first weekend in Nov sometime in the 2000s, so before that it ended first weekend in Oct.

10:27 am

CowExploder

because it was originally golf courses who lobbied for it

10:27 am

CowExploder

and then candy companies jumped on later

10:28 am

hurshy

so the senate passed it unanimously, which i think is a good sign

10:28 am

MollyL

That is interesting. We always waited until it got dark to trick or treat.

10:28 am

hurshy

however, it would not kick in until fall 2023, if it passes, because i guess airlines said they would need time to prepare, idk why

10:29 am

hurshy

so we will still be falling back and springing forward at least one more time each

10:29 am

CowExploder

same with me, molly

10:29 am

CowExploder

but it probably depends on the neighborhood you're in

10:29 am

rururocks

it always screws me up mentally DST

10:29 am

CowExploder

and how well lit the streets are

10:30 am

hokie carla

per wiki, it was extended in 2005 due to candy companies, but it's literally been around since the early 1900s

10:31 am

hokie carla

ruru, it screws me up as well. I am exhausted the entire summer. did I mention I didn't go to sleep last night until after 4am?

10:31 am

rururocks

holy cow hokie

10:32 am

Aloyisius

full moons tend to keep me up all night

10:32 am

hokie carla

I gotta try to remember to take something tonight

10:32 am

hokie carla

what is the moon right now?

10:32 am

Aloyisius

almost full

10:33 am

hokie carla

pretty sure was my problem was drinking a mini can of coke for supper

10:33 am

hokie carla

a mini can!

10:33 am

MollyL

Full moons do that to a lot of people. Makes some grouchy too.

10:33 am

rururocks

that'll do it hokes

10:34 am

rururocks

i can't have caffein after midday any longer

10:34 am

Aloyisius

I remember reading about positive ions in the atmosphere and how the concentration changes during moon phases... correlated with crime and birth rates.. interesting stuff

10:35 am

hokie carla

it's ridiculous. when I was in college many years ago I would drink Jolt cola (all the sugar, twice the caffeine) and it wouldn't make a dent in me staying awake.

10:35 am

Aloyisius

watch out for chocolate desserts too..

10:35 am

rururocks

welcome to old age changes hokes :D

10:36 am

hokie carla

hokie carla

10:41 am

hokie carla

10:42 am

Aloyisius

10:42 am

Aloyisius

10:43 am

hokie carla

10:43 am

donnasc6dogs

10:45 am

MollyL

11:28 am

Aloyisius

11:28 am

BzznBea

2:53 pm

moolingwa

24 to go

2:53 pm

moolingwa

they've all been 4s tho

2:53 pm

hokie carla

and nilify should be an alt version of nullify

2:53 pm

moolingwa

right, although it could be to set things to values of zero, rather to remove their effect

2:54 pm

moolingwa

floods often silitfy the surrounding area

2:54 pm

moolingwa

it basically leaves the ground with a silten appearance

2:55 pm

moolingwa

ooh, found three words...21 to go

2:57 pm

hokie carla

I'm doing a methodical search for 4's and have only found one

3:07 pm

not sure what gathering military intel has to do with finding words ;)

4:18 pm

hokie carla

of el5? I think we might be talking about different words

4:19 pm

moolingwa

I know what word you're using...just chose to look at another one that also works

4:19 pm

hokie carla

is this an obtuse clue for me?

4:20 pm

moolingwa

sure, if you wish to use it that way

4:20 pm

moolingwa

3-3-3-2-1

4:20 pm

hokie carla

which way, obtusely or as a clue?

4:20 pm

moolingwa

That's pretty balanced I think

4:20 pm

moolingwa

works both ways

4:22 pm

hokie carla

found them.

4:23 pm

moolingwa

never thought to look up the meanings previously

4:25 pm

moolingwa

yeah, well free entertainment right?

4:25 pm

hokie carla

3-6-3-1-3

4:25 pm

moolingwa

neolite so sounds like a word

4:26 pm

hokie carla

yes, shocked it's not some geography thing

4:26 pm

moolingwa

or geology either

4:27 pm

hokie carla

lol, that's what I meant but I'm so sleepy

4:27 pm

hokie carla

and I'm watching TV

4:27 pm

moolingwa

s'ok, I wondered if you might have, but didn't want to assume

4:27 pm

moolingwa

going to go play trivia tonight, been a while

4:28 pm

hokie carla

ooh, that sounds fun

4:28 pm

moolingwa

yeah, the local breweries around here do it...this will be the fourth brewery, and 5th place overall we've tried

4:29 pm

hokie carla

is it electronic or person asking and you handwriting answers?

4:29 pm

moolingwa

the latter

4:29 pm

hokie carla

yeah, that's the usual for breweries I think

4:29 pm

moolingwa

We do pretty well in everything except music...not up to date on our rap and crap

4:30 pm

hokie carla

that reminds me, I need to check today's heardle

4:31 pm

moolingwa

Not enthused that it's a wednesday, but fewer choices still

4:31 pm

hokie carla

I'm not really good at the music ones either. I know songs by hearing them but can't remember names/bands and don't really know a lot of random music facts.

4:31 pm

hokie carla

oh, is today wednesday?

4:32 pm

moolingwa

apparently

4:32 pm

moolingwa

There's four of us, and we do pretty well, though hard to compete with teams that have 10 or 12

4:33 pm

moolingwa

The first place we played, used to limit teams to 6

4:33 pm

hokie carla

yeah, but maybe they are 10 or 12 less full of trivial knowledge than you 4

4:34 pm

moolingwa

It doesn't really matter anyway...it's just fun to do

4:35 pm

hokie carla

yep

4:35 pm

Soodle

Almost 21.30 pm here. Iâ€™m seldom here this late & I certainly wonâ€™t be on Babble this time tomorrow, unless y dinner plans go pear-shaped. So, just wishing everybody a very happy St Patrickâ€™s Day. â˜˜ï¸ LÃ¡ FhÃ©ile Phadraig maith agaibh go lÃ©ir.

4:35 pm

moolingwa

Happy St Patrick's Day Soods

4:38 pm

moolingwa

I'm 1/16th irish or something like that

4:38 pm

moolingwa

my surname though is Cornish

4:39 pm

hokie carla

well, my dna tests say I'm much more scottish, but name is irish. but lots of scottish names in the tree.

4:39 pm

moolingwa

och aye

4:40 pm

hokie carla

also a lot more english than I realized

4:40 pm

Soodle

Lol!! This time of year, lots of people are Irish. My DNA says Iâ€™m 100% Irish, which really pleased me. ðŸ˜Š

4:40 pm

moolingwa

I have no DNA, I'm just computer code

4:40 pm

hokie carla

well, you have DNA

4:40 pm

hokie carla

unless you're telling us you're actually a bot

4:41 pm

hokie carla

which explains a lot of your word knowledge

4:41 pm

moolingwa

yep, I'm actually AI

4:41 pm

ch1212

I'm 98.7 Scots-Irish, but not sure how much of each. Tons of both Scots and Irish names in the tree.

4:41 pm

moolingwa

I cruise the internets looking for word games

4:42 pm

hokie carla

soodle, my surname has a DNA project and the appalachian people with it (which is me) are linked to a place called Rostollus I think.

5:02 pm

moolingwa

I guess so

5:02 pm

moolingwa

I have not lived in either of those states...just for the record, though I have visited both multiple times

5:16 pm

hokie carla

I haven't been to TX since 1976

5:16 pm

hokie carla

but I was born in TN and have been there a LOT. not sure I was ever texy though.

5:19 pm

Sophie512

hello all actually clumped around in this boot and got some stuff done today..... Carla, I used to live in the NW corner of TN....moved to Nashville area last summer. I have 57 words left. May not finish. :)

5:20 pm

Trying to think when I was last in Texas...probably 2019

5:20 pm

hokie carla

oh yeah, sophie? what town?

5:21 pm

I failed today

5:27 pm

ajbns87

Got lucky with wordle today, an early guess was close

5:27 pm

hokie carla

had 2, 4, & 5 letters and one guess left. I thought there were 5 options but I wasn't even seeing the answer as one, so obvi, I picked the wrong word

5:27 pm

hokie carla

have not done dordle yet

5:28 pm

moolingwa

just completed dordle

5:29 pm

hokie carla

went to list. have had at least 3 words that I typed this morning.

5:30 pm

72 Temple Owl

yes, the disappearing words...

5:30 pm

72 Temple Owl

today was certainly more challenging than yesterday.

5:30 pm

moolingwa

not sure I'll bother with the last 6

5:31 pm

hokie carla

have 5 I can't find with the list

5:32 pm

hokie carla

agreed, TO. though maybe I thought yesterday was hard too.

5:33 pm

72 Temple Owl

that's so interesting...i thinkit's how one's brain is wired.

5:35 pm

hokie carla

yeah, a lot of times I am opposite others here when it comes to difficulty. but I really don't know if i'm thinking of yesterday or the day before.

5:36 pm

moolingwa

half my remaining words are 6's...and I have a 7 and an 8..so that' demotivating

5:36 pm

72 Temple Owl

i must go... the news is on and it only took 5 mintues for me to call someone an a hole... perhaps those who remember hiding under their desks have a somewhat differing perspective...

5:36 pm

moolingwa

oh, nm...found the 8

5:36 pm

72 Temple Owl

day before yesterday was herder

5:37 pm

ajbns87

Can I have a clue for the 9 please

5:38 pm

moolingwa

perhaps broadly, the action of hugging someone?

5:38 pm

72 Temple Owl

5:40 pm

moolingwa

5:41 pm

hokie carla

I think G was the 2nd tile I grayed this morning, so you are missing an easy one.

5:43 pm

moolingwa

5:43 pm

moolingwa

and it's not gefilte :)

5:44 pm

Same for me when I shop.
