hmm, so me8 is my only missing M

8:00 am

hokie carla

did the spelling bee folks get all 6 pangrams yesterday? I somehow did but still only got to amazing.

8:00 am

hurshy

i got 2 pangrams but again i do not have an account so it cuts me off

8:01 am

hurshy

got the me8!

8:01 am

hokie carla

yeah, I wondered how many it let you do since it was a lot of words/points

8:01 am

jylcat

geat

8:01 am

jylcat

sorry!

8:02 am

BzznBea

Thanks for the me8

8:02 am

hurshy

it is ok, it does not count anyway :)

8:04 am

hurshy

speaking of cats, i had a very exciting day yesterday. my neighbors' cat had been missing for like a week and yesterday i noticed my Fritz meowing weirdly and saw that he had a puffy tail. i went outside to see and there was a cat the same colors as the one missing, so i said, "are you Figaro?" and he said "meow!" and he was talking towards me so i figured i could also walk towards him. and he let me pick him up! so i brought him back to his house and the guy and his lil grandson were happy - his wife would be even more happy, so i hear, but she was out searching for the cat at the time!

8:05 am

hurshy

bottom row grey!

8:06 am

Scrabbler

Great rescue, Hurshy!

8:07 am

hurshy

yeah i was so happy! i had been worrying about him

8:08 am

Scrabbler

I do not like seeing missing pets signs or on-line posts. They make me sad and anxious.

8:08 am

hurshy

there was a Brady Bunch ep where Peter rescued a little girl from a falling bookcase, and the girl's mom went overboard rewarding him til he got a big head. so i told fritz, "you're a hero, Fritz, but i'm not going to buy you every toy in the store, because i don't want you to get full of yourself."

8:08 am

Scrabbler

Good plan, Hurshy.

8:09 am

hurshy

i feel the same, scrabs, sad and anxious

8:09 am

hurshy

so it was very good to have a happy ending on this one

8:11 am

hurshy

woot, i'm down to 7 words left!

8:11 am

hurshy

one of them is 7 letters

8:13 am

hurshy

6 now... 3 S, 2 C, and an i

8:13 am

Scrabbler

I woke up at 5, read a bit, went back to sleep, then woke up from a high school nightmare.

8:13 am

hurshy

oh, yuck, sorry to hear that scrabs

8:14 am

hurshy

phantom: sesame

8:14 am

Scrabbler

No one believed that I had further degrees, so I was taking Physics, English, PE class, etc.

8:15 am

hurshy

i feel like i've had similar dreams to that

8:15 am

BzznBea

I've had dreams like that as well.

8:16 am

hurshy

and then i've also had college ones, where i realize it's a week or more into the semester and i have forgotten to go to any of my classes and can't find my schedule or remember what i was taking

8:16 am

hurshy

hopefully that does not ruin your whole day scrabs :)

8:16 am

bichon

Ditto for me

8:17 am

Scrabbler

Oh, yes. Or there is an exam that day and you never knew. Or you can't remember where your locker is or, if you do, the combination of the lock.

8:17 am

bichon

I can't remember where I parked the car

8:17 am

Scrabbler

Well, I do like Physics and Math, but not English. And the entire HS social atmosphere sucks.

8:18 am

Scrabbler

That happens to me at least once a week, bichon, and then I am convinced my car has been stolen.

8:18 am

hurshy

when i was still IN school i would have dreams during summer vaca that i was on the bus headed for the first day of the new year and had no notebooks, pencils, etc. but ONE time my conscious rational mind was able to intrude, i thought, "but wait, you haven't had your birthday yet, so it can't be the first day of school, this must be a dream." and i woke up!

8:19 am

Scrabbler

Last week I visited my friends twin HS-grads and so all this HS-college stuff is churning in my head.

8:19 am

hurshy

that makes sense

8:19 am

Scrabbler

Lucid dreaming is so much fun.

8:19 am

bichon

Why do I have tulips growing in my yard. It's July and I never planted them

8:19 am

hurshy

lucky you bichon!

8:20 am

Scrabbler

Squirrels dug them up somewhere then buried them in your yard.

8:20 am

Scrabbler

usme

8:20 am

Scrabbler

Not a word.

8:20 am

BzznBea

I found you missing 7, hursh.

8:22 am

hurshy

ooh what is it

8:23 am

BzznBea

ch7.40

8:23 am

hurshy

8:23 am

BzznBea

no.

8:24 am

BzznBea

Maybe it's ca7.32?

8:24 am

hurshy

yes that'll be it

8:25 am

hurshy

i tried caseate earlier but that's not there

8:25 am

BzznBea

8:26 am

hurshy

8:26 am

BzznBea

8:26 am

hurshy

8:28 am

Scrabbler

I need to wake up and see these words. My head is still in my HS nightmare.

8:31 am

hurshy

tea!

8:34 am

72 Temple Owl

hello scrabbler. coincidentally, saw a program on letchworth yesterday

8:40 am

Scrabbler

Ah, I was there hiking 2 days ago. Every time I visit I am amazed with geology.

8:42 am

72 Temple Owl

i love samantha brown's travelogs. she is very down to earth. the trail for those with autism was fascinating.

8:43 am

72 Temple Owl

i did not think it was close to you.

8:44 am

Scrabbler

45 minute drive.

8:45 am

welki

'morning, babblers

8:45 am

Scrabbler

meat

8:45 am

Scrabbler

Free clue for you, welki.

8:45 am

72 Temple Owl

i am supposed to be getting ready to travel. i had a rea covid contact last saturday, but tested negative on thursday. dr said okay to be around vulnerable people if no symptoms.

8:45 am

72 Temple Owl

morning

8:46 am

72 Temple Owl

i guess the late booster a month ago is working.

8:46 am

Scrabbler

Wear a N95 mask when indoors--safest for you and others.

8:46 am

Scrabbler

flip side: too risky to NOT wear an N95 when indoors.

8:47 am

welki

we're still waiting to be eligible for our fourth shot - the government has stopped all but online reporting, it's as though the pandemic is over. but it's not, not by a long shot.

8:47 am

72 Temple Owl

negative test. fully vaxxed. no further recommendations. he is pretty conservative. outdoors today and the baby will not be there.

8:48 am

welki

because there is no official guidance, folks are giving us looks like we're pariahs for wearing masks. we still have a positivity rate of nearly 13%

8:48 am

72 Temple Owl

i still mask in the market and indoor music venues.

8:49 am

72 Temple Owl

and test after large events, though not after the big outdoor festival mid june

8:50 am

BzznBea

We had three covid deaths in our county in June. I mask everywhere.

8:50 am

welki

we're planning a trip to southern quebec the last week of august. haven't seen the kids in 3 years, the oldest has rented a house and we'll all meet there

8:50 am

72 Temple Owl

it's time to go.happy babbling for those who are.

8:50 am

BzznBea

How wonderful, welki!

8:50 am

welki

i am not taking any chances of getting sick before our trip - or after our trip :)

8:51 am

welki

bye, owl - enjoy your trip!

8:52 am

Scrabbler

Agreed, welki. With BA5 and BA2.75 taking over it is too risky to not wear a N95 when indoors. Rapid tests are unreliable and typically not positive until days 4-5 of COVID.

8:53 am

72 Temple Owl

i've never done a rapid test. we always use pcr.

8:54 am

72 Temple Owl

through county government

8:54 am

HarryHood

we have stacks of rapid tests in our house - from school and work.

8:54 am

welki

it's almost impossible to get a pcr test here

8:54 am

72 Temple Owl

5 days after exposure is the guidance

8:54 am

welki

hey harry

8:54 am

HarryHood

we were going through them pretty fast when the kids had covid.

8:55 am

HarryHood

gm welki!

8:55 am

72 Temple Owl

not only do i get a pcr test but it's at the mall :)

8:55 am

Scrabbler

Yes, PCR is most accurate test.

8:55 am

72 Temple Owl

and i have a gift card for charley's steaks!

8:55 am

72 Temple Owl

hi harry

8:56 am

HarryHood

hi TO

8:56 am

HarryHood

PCR - Please Charley, Rare!

8:56 am

72 Temple Owl

and the person who was positive was going to do a band gig the next day!!!

8:56 am

welki

i keep seeing assuage and assume

8:57 am

Scrabbler

It is sad, Owl, how many people with COVID intentionally expose others.

8:57 am

72 Temple Owl

well to be fair, many cases are mild. if i did not have allergies and know it, and that my pills wear off at dose time, i would swear i had it.

8:58 am

Scrabbler

And many cases are asymptomatic.

9:00 am

72 Temple Owl

he was sick monday and played on saturday night.tested the next day because wife was sick. the place saturday was open sided high ceilinged. but at break he sat down beside me. i did not think

9:00 am

72 Temple Owl

but my friend in the band was freaking out.

9:01 am

72 Temple Owl

so it was a good wakeup call, since nothing more has come of it over a week later per test.

9:02 am

72 Temple Owl

time to go. i have made a chess pie and am bringing roasted carrot sumac hummus. scrabbler, you would love it.

9:02 am

Scrabbler

Yum.

9:03 am

72 Temple Owl

made at the nearby food coop. it is yummy. but not as yummy as lemon chess pie ;)

9:03 am

72 Temple Owl

the carrots make it so sweet

9:05 am

rururocks

do you have chess pie at knight?

9:05 am

Scrabbler

Babble's Official Punster has entered the room.

9:06 am

HarryHood

missing the first column N. is it obvious?

9:06 am

rururocks

yes.

9:06 am

rururocks

you'll feel sick when you see it harry

9:07 am

HarryHood

ty ru

9:07 am

HarryHood

nbt

9:07 am

rururocks

welcome back.. you've been gone for a while

9:07 am

HarryHood

yes - summertime - fewer obligations

9:08 am

HarryHood

I was doing serpentine a bit, but it's kind of obnoxious.

9:09 am

rururocks

what's your call name in serpentine?

9:10 am

HarryHood

it's tricky: HarryHood

9:11 am

rururocks

i've never seen you in serpentine..we must play at different times

9:12 am

HarryHood

I'm pretty spotty there. I get frustrated when I lose lots of rating points.

9:16 am

rururocks

anyone able to clue the 8?

9:19 am

sajarn

yes please

9:19 am

welki

like the sting song, 'something in a bottle,' with an extra vowel thrown in just to make the word completely absurd

9:20 am

rururocks

wow.. never have seen that before. thanks welki

9:21 am

sajarn

good clue. thanks

9:21 am

Scrabbler

Hm, I am trying to figure out that extra vowel.

9:21 am

rururocks

maybe it is a foot rub while you're listening to your answering machine

9:22 am

Scrabbler

Monkey finally found it after 7 tries.

9:25 am

Meatball421

good clue but oh brother!!

9:27 am

Uneaixoise

10:05 am

Uneaixoise

10:06 am

rururocks

that takes a lot of balls to offer free milkshakes

10:10 am

rururocks

I guess there is a vas deferens between Vanilla and Chocolate for some of the guys

10:12 am

cybernan

8:57 pm

DukeJason

me8,60 ?-- last one

9:52 pm

DukeJason

monkey typing doesn't get me any closer to the me/6--no fireworks

9:54 pm

Uneaixoise

Fw!!

10:07 pm

grannyrose

Jason, do you mean the me8? try the M in SMS, add another vowel after the double consonant

11:40 pm

Gillie

carla, when one of the early morning lot admits they went to the list for a word, they're effectively admitting that's weird.

11:40 pm

Gillie

(that the word is weird, that is)
