Scrabbler
Have you been kayaking, Doren?
8:20 am
Dorens
just a bit. Not enough. Going to Martha's Vineyard on Saturday and wondering if I should try to figure out how to get it up on the old roof racks which I haven't used in many years.
8:21 am
bichon
I am so jealous
8:21 am
rururocks
there's big sharks out there doren :D
8:21 am
Scrabbler
I love Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket.
8:22 am
Dorens
We won't go out too far in the ocean. We actually like hiking, biking, reading, and cooking more than beaching. My son and son in law do not like beaches at all, which I can't understand
8:22 am
bichon
Never been to Nantucket, but I have such great memories of the Vinyard
8:23 am
rururocks
I've never heard of anyone who didn't like beaches
8:23 am
Dorens
We like it out in Chilmark, or other less populated areas. Farm land, meadows, etc.
David doesn't, ru
8:23 am
rururocks
I can't wait to be sitting by the ocean soon
8:23 am

Hi Hokie

dan2bit
i was listening to an author on NPR yesterday talk about how Europeans didn't think of the beach as a place civilized people even went to until doctors started prescribing "sea air" for health in the 1700's. Now, we spend billions on beach vacation resorts
8:26 am
hokie carla
anyone have oaties for breakfast? seems like that should be a word. 😜

8:28 am
hokie carla
dan, we have a place near us called the Salt Suite and they call the inside a salt cave and you go and breathe in salt air I looked at their website because on the door it mentions helping eczema, which one of my kids struggles with. anyhoo, looks like some snake oil hooey to me.
8:29 am

I don't like this puzzle
8:30 am
dan2bit
yeah, I'm not sure it's medically sound advice at all, but I'm fascinated by the cultural shift that made it socially acceptable and then desirable...
8:30 am

our new house has a bit of a mole or vole problem. I just know there's just a million tunnels in the yard.
8:42 am
mattygroves
Can anyone supply a small hint for the 9, please? I understand it's a PA?
8:42 am
mael

8:46 am
mattygroves
Thanks - now have the related Os as well :)
8:46 am
mael
it can be caused by mumps, but not always. This is where Italian helps, that's just the name of pain in that general area

I wondered how many people find out meanings of words they learn through Babble? orra
1:29 pm
mael
FW! never looked up orra until now, apparently it's scottish
2:28 pm
Kaplan the Magne
lots of Scottish and danish words. Cheese danish especially , ha ha.
2:29 pm
Kaplan the Magne
welsh, Yiddish, bibical Hebrew, a few Spanish, not all today but usually.
2:30 pm
dcseain
don't forget some random French not usualyl used in English.
2:31 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I don't think I've seem proper nouns but that doesn't mean there haven't been any.
2:31 pm
hokie carla
only if they have another meaning
2:31 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I learned creosote from this grid.
2:32 pm
hokie carla
otherwise not allowed like in scrabble
2:32 pm
hokie carla
but pa6 is dolly's last name but must mean something else too
2:32 pm
dcseain
creosote was a not uncommon word about a century ago.
2:32 pm
Kaplan the Magne
To5 is pretty much a proper noun
2:32 pm
dcseain
it is, indeed, Kapalan
2:33 pm
hokie carla
the neighborhood I grew up in was next to a train track so I've known creosote forever
2:35 pm
Kaplan the Magne
thanks for the pa6- the pa6 of the Red Sea.

I refuse to be drawn - Quordle is enough
5:12 pm
dcseain
The multi-board wordles i don’t like. I play babble, babble (es), Flagle, Worldle, Globle, Waffle, and Semantle
5:13 pm
Gillie
It is very satisfying to be able to solve 4 words at once.
5:15 pm

i've missed you! how're you (all of you) doing?
8:16 pm
HarryHood
pretty good. school's over, and I have some free time!
8:16 pm
HarryHood
how have you been?
8:17 pm
welki
we're well - did some travelling in the spring, looking forward to more in the fall (bought a small travel trailer). we did some fishing, hope to do more
8:18 pm
HarryHood
nice! we were in long island last week - had a wedding so we made a mini-vacation out of it
8:18 pm
welki
we started by heading for my aunt's house, in california, for her 84th birthday - then south, east and back north. of all places, we fell in love with utah
8:18 pm
welki
where on the island?
8:19 pm
HarryHood
utah is so beautiful
8:19 pm
HarryHood
rocky point - way out on the north shore - we rented a house a block from the water
8:19 pm
welki
we fished the provo river - gorgeous
8:20 pm
HarryHood
did you get to the moab area?
8:20 pm
welki
oooh, nice! my oldest has rented a house for the family in august, about a half hour south of montreal, also on the water
8:23 pm
HarryHood
listing my last 26.
8:23 pm
welki
yes!! moab was spectacular, spent about a week in zion, but liked kolob canyon more
8:24 pm
HarryHood
great season to be there. it must be beastly in the summer. I was there in november
8:25 pm
welki
we're thinking about heading that way again in october. we got there too late (march) to be able to drive the scenic roads in zion. november would be great, but plays havoc with the drive home
8:26 pm
welki
too many people in zion (which is why we enjoyed kolob)
8:26 pm
welki
then again, who knows - too far in the future. just gimme a trout stream and i'm happy :)
8:27 pm
welki
it was GREAT to see you here, harry, but it's time for me to skedaddle. g'night, my friend
