6:23 am

ItalianGreyhound

not looking good for Naples/Ft. Myers area

6:30 am

Scrabbler

Yes, and Babbler Aloysius is in the path.

6:30 am

Scrabbler

I need to get to work. Bye.

6:33 am

ItalianGreyhound

Naples is a wealthy vacation area, Ft Myers more working class - small but dense pop.around 70,000 near the water. I lived there years ago

6:36 am

NANCY

the whole state of florida is in big trouble right now, I live ocean side and waiting to lose power any minute. Lots of wind and rain. scary stuff. Now a cat 4 and just short of a 5

6:38 am

ItalianGreyhound

good luck, Nancy - hope youre not on the South West Coast

6:39 am

mab

take care nancy - so, so scary. can you evacuate safely?

6:39 am

NANCY

I am ocean side in Melbourne.

6:40 am

NANCY

not evacuating, No place to go that is safe. All of Florida is in danger for the next two days.

6:40 am

ItalianGreyhound

you should be ok, except for power outage, and poss. tornados

6:41 am

NANCY

oh, is that all.

6:42 am

ItalianGreyhound

sorry - didnt mean to minimalize it

6:42 am

NANCY

Ten inches of rain forecasted for my area. wind at 140 right now.

6:44 am

NANCY

that ok grey, i know you didnt mean to minimalize. Just really scary stuff because Florida is so thin there is apt to be flash floods from both sides with a hurricane this size.

6:45 am

marksdolly

I've been praying for the people in Florida, may God protect you Nancy

6:45 am

NANCY

News says Ian is expected to be a cat 5 when it hits.

6:46 am

NANCY

It is daylight here but still dark. Weird.

6:47 am

ItalianGreyhound

looking at the map, Ft Myers is about to be under water

6:47 am

NANCY

Thank you marksdaool

6:47 am

mab

140 - i've never heard of such wind force as that. and you're in the dark at 8 still. worrying. to say the very least.

6:47 am

marksdolly

yvw, I will continue to pray throughout the week

6:48 am

mael

stay safe, Nancy! I hope your power stays on and that your house is in a higher spot

6:48 am

NANCY

marksdolly and all of my Babble friends. If I disappear, you will kmow my power is out.

6:48 am

ItalianGreyhound

hope people left town, but I doubt many did. Ians winds are now at 155

7:24 am

MollyL

I am not brave enough to hang around for a Category 5 hurricane. I would drive hours away and sleep in my car if I had to.

7:26 am

ItalianGreyhound

prob have to since hotels are filled up; as power goes out no gas, even up-state. Thats why so many just hunker down

7:39 am

hokie carla

my cousin just moved to Tampa a few months ago. I hope she went somewhere.

7:42 am

MollyL

I hope she did too Carla. Scary stuff coming down there.

7:42 am

hokie carla

my inlaws in Jax never leave

7:45 am

ItalianGreyhound

Floridians tend to think "it will prob.miss us". Until it doesnt, as in Ft Myers right now

7:45 am

hokie carla

hey, found an 8/9!

7:50 am

hokie carla

and I love finishing a big tile on first pass

7:52 am

hokie carla

my cousin just sent a screen shot of where they are. she said they are out of evac zone c, whatever that means.

7:53 am

mael

you also really don't want to get caught in gridlock traffic when the hurricane comes, sometimes leaving late is worse than not leaving at all

7:59 am

MollyL

Oh I wouldn't leave late. I would scurry on out at the first indication of trouble. I'm a big chicken. I probably wouldn't even live in a place that could get hurricanes.

8:00 am

MollyL

Holy shit. Cuba's power grid completely collapsed. 11 million people without power.

8:01 am

hokie carla

yeah, I saw that. horrible.

8:01 am

Shirlockc

wow, bad bad news for all from the hurricane

8:04 am

rururocks

are they expecting the hurricane up your way hokes?

8:08 am

hurshy

:(

8:11 am

NANCY

pr 7 40 please

8:11 am

hokie carla

we're definitely getting rain from it, not sure what it will be when it gets here, ruru

8:12 am

rururocks

ok.. stay safe

8:13 am

hokie carla

we have been doing lots of outdoors stuff since it's going to rain for like 5 days starting Fri.

8:13 am

hokie carla

and now I'm going to walk winston - today is his 6th birthday!

8:14 am

hurshy

happy birthday, winston!

8:22 am

Mubner

pr 7 40 let's get going

8:23 am

MollyL

Or, before we pr7 further

8:26 am

Meatball421

ooh ty got it

8:27 am

hurshy

top row grey!

8:28 am

Kiani

still stuck on that pr7 - any alternate hint?

8:29 am

MollyL

You may pr7 to the next level

8:29 am

hurshy

my driving app always says "pr7 to the route" at first, when i'm in a big parking lot

8:30 am

Kiani

derp, ty (btw, derp is not accepted and I find this .. unacceptable) :)

8:30 am

hurshy

8:31 am

Uneaixoise

Happy birthday to Winston!

8:32 am

I guess the free spelling bee still isn't working right because it is stuck on yesterday.

8:33 am

hurshy

curiouser and curiouser

8:34 am

Meatball421

I've got 150 and wallowing

8:39 am

phaeton

I found wordle to be very hard today

8:40 am

Shirlockc

wordle was tricky today -- i got lucky

8:40 am

MollyL

It was tricky. But some zen master here will say they got it in two.

8:42 am

Shirlockc

mech

8:42 am

Shirlockc

oops not a word anyway

8:43 am

penquis

hello all....

8:45 am

hurshy

hi pen

8:45 am

penquis

hi hursh....doing better today?

8:45 am

hurshy

somewhat, yes

8:45 am

penquis

good...

8:46 am

hurshy

ty

8:51 am

rururocks

do you know how you caught covid hursh?

8:51 am

MollyL

Mech sounds like a Yiddish word. Like drek

8:52 am

MollyL

Probably from the COVID virus molecules flying around attacking everyone. Especially lone drivers in their cars.

8:52 am

hurshy

well, my dad was sick, but his PCR test was negative. then my mom, then my sister (after visiting here), but they didn't get any reliable testing done. so that's one possibility. the other is i got it from one of the kids in tutoring

8:53 am

MollyL

They can shoot you with their tiny COVID attack missiles.

9:00 am

hurshy

ooh, so close to ceremony

9:02 am

mael

I almost got it in 2, I was so mad at myself :)

9:02 am

mael

off to get my new covid booster, wish me luck!

9:02 am

penquis

good luck, mael....

9:20 am

hurshy

phantom: desert

9:20 am

penquis

and propose....

9:33 am

hurshy

you know it's interesting about wordle

9:33 am

hurshy

just hearing people say that it was hard was a clue in itself for me, made it easier for me to get

9:34 am

penquis

i think the ones that require more than two or three tries are more satisfying than the ones one gets in two....that, to me, is luck....

9:34 am

MollyL

Told you some Zenner would say it was easy

9:34 am

penquis

agreed....when someone says that, i try less likely words....

9:36 am

hurshy

i'm not saying it WAS easy, just that someone saying something about it made it easiER, because of what pen said

9:51 am

periwinkle

hi all. help with so9 please

9:54 am

penquis

hi peri...

9:54 am

penquis

do you have so 6?....it builds on that

9:55 am

MollyL

so9 is like a person who is in a club about a certain kind of poetry. There was a club in the 60's that Annette Funicello was in like it.

9:55 am

penquis

it is a so 6/8/9 combo...

9:55 am

MollyL

There were also three guys with muskets like it.

9:58 am

Shirlockc

i think of swords with them rather than muskets but i guess they did have muskets

9:59 am

penquis

well they weren't called the three swordsmen.. ;o)

9:59 am

sukee

Okay, that helps me with the last 4 or 5 letters

9:59 am

MollyL

Yeah, musket is where the name came from.

9:59 am

MollyL

The poetry part of the clue is supposed to help with the beginning. Starts with so...

10:00 am

sukee

doh...got it

10:01 am

sukee

i have the 6 and 9

10:01 am

sukee

ty Molly

10:01 am

10:03 am

10:10 am

player girl

Hi. I am stuck on the E from the 3rd column and the one from the 4 th column. I have 5 8's, both 9's and some E words are throwing me off!

10:11 am

player girl

And Smore is SO a word. Babble may just be being unAmerican!

10:11 am

sukee

lol

10:19 am

hurshy

it's s'more

10:19 am

hurshy

that's the problem

10:20 am

hurshy

similar to why we don't get to have yo-yo if that is present

10:20 am

origami

I love s'mores

10:20 am

hurshy

or "isn't" for that matter!

10:20 am

hurshy

third column E, i have an ec4, playergirl

10:21 am

hurshy

4th col has es5 and es6 (the latter is a normal word)

10:22 am

hurshy

i too would be glad to know what the other 3rd column E is

10:22 am

MollyL

*Lights the fire and gets the chocolate, grahams and allows for Origami

10:22 am

MollyL

*mallows

10:25 am

hurshy

25 left!

10:26 am

hurshy

i have been finding this a nice grid. Ps not harder than other letters, which is a nice change for me

10:39 am

cybernan

good morning :) Started out the day with wordle. Is it my imagination, or are the words getting a little less common as time goes on?

10:40 am

dcseain

dunno. iâ€™ve found it easier as the words have gotten less common, though thatâ€™s about me, not the game, i think

10:43 am

cybernan

have a question on behalf of my granddaughter who is writing a skit for her film class -- do or did the people living in the southern US have a slang word for cigarettes that was peculiar to that region?

10:44 am

dcseain

not, to my knowledge, at least in the Virginias and Kentucky.

10:44 am

dcseain

cigarillo was heard some when i was young, mostly from younger people, though.

10:44 am

cybernan

so just called smokes down there?

10:45 am

dcseain

bum a smoke is a common phrasing, historically.

10:45 am

dcseain

i meant older not younger below, oops. cat on my chest and wrists,

10:49 am

hokie carla

I've heard "a cig"

10:49 am

ivesy3

.. clue for the first sc 7 plz

10:50 am

hokie carla

and rehi, peoples

10:50 am

MollyL

Google says a southern states slang for cigarettes is "joe" but I have never heard that. Cig and smoke are the more common ones.

10:50 am

ivesy3

oops nv got it

10:50 am

dcseain

huh. never hear joe for cigarette, that means coffee.

10:51 am

MollyL

A cigarillo is a cigar not a cigarette.

10:51 am

hokie carla

I thought a cigarillo was a tiny cigar

10:51 am

hokie carla

also agree on joe being coffee, but wasn't camel's mascot Joe Camel?

10:52 am

hokie carla

maybe that's why google is confused

10:53 am

MollyL

All I can tell you naysayers is that if you do a Google search for "southern states slang for cigarettes" joe comes up. As I said, I have never heard it either.

10:54 am

aebmusica

I have found two so6 and 8"s but cannot find the rest 9 for the life of me.....?

10:54 am

hurshy

pull the ending from volunt***

10:55 am

MollyL

The only slang word I have ever heard for cigarettes is stogie but that was used many years ago. It made it into Roger Miller's "King of the Road"

10:56 am

hokie carla

I thought stogie was a cigar

10:56 am

MollyL

Or maybe stogie was a cigar too

10:56 am

aebmusica

tyvm Molly....sorry to the rest of you clears for being so dense.:(

10:57 am

MollyL

Now joints, they have a lot of slang terms.

10:57 am

hokie carla

I am still doing first pass so ignoring all clue posts, so no biggie

10:58 am

hokie carla

I thought joints were always pot

10:58 am

MollyL

No, I mean words that mean joint, like doobie, blunt, fatty, etc.

10:59 am

hokie carla

oh, you're saying now take joints for ex, not joints currently. I got ya.

10:59 am

cybernan

Thank you - have passed this along.

11:00 am

MollyL

Sure Carla. I have no idea what that meant, but sure.

11:31 am

hokie carla

11:32 am

periwinkle

I have so6 and so8 help with so9 please

11:32 am

hokie carla

it's one who composes so6, but there's an extra vowel in there, such as in some retired folks do v* work.

11:33 am

hokie carla

annette funicello was a famous mouske*

11:33 am

11:46 am

MollyL

Sad that people don't know the Annette Funicello club and The Three Musket----

11:48 am

bichon

My Mom bribed me to stop watching the Howdy Doody show and watch Mickey Mouse Club

11:50 am

hokie carla

I mean, I wasn't even born yet but know AF

11:50 am

MollyL

What did she have against Howdy Doody?

11:51 am

moolingwa

9-7-14-5-1-1

11:52 am

bichon

Too childish for a 10 y,o.

11:53 am

cybernan

Never saw either of those shows. I was 13 before TV reception came to our town and my kids watched Sesame Street.

11:55 am

bichon

I lived in NYC and we got all those shows

12:01 pm

hokie carla

alright, I decided to make waffles for lunch

12:01 pm

moolingwa

sounds ambitious

12:02 pm

cybernan

sounds yummy - only waffles I make now come out of an eggos box

12:02 pm

hokie carla

the hardest part was finding where I put the waffle plates for my cuisinart griddler.

12:02 pm

welki

hi folks! getting ready for a long camping trip - and packed the waffle maker (same as yours, hokie)

12:03 pm

hokie carla

I don't consider Eggos to be the same thing. I actually thought for most of my life that I didn't like waffles because I'd only had Eggos.

12:03 pm

cybernan

where are you headed welki?

12:03 pm

hokie carla

ooh, welki, sounds fun!

12:03 pm

bichon

Mr. B makes Belgian waffles every Friday

12:03 pm

72 Temple Owl

where to ?

12:03 pm

welki

back to california for a month and then

12:03 pm

welki

, destination unknown for another two-three months

12:04 pm

72 Temple Owl

wow

12:04 pm

cybernan

that is a long trip.

12:05 pm

welki

we're planning on doing a LOT of fishing. bought a small (but very sturdy) inflatable boat and trolling motor, plus we'll flyfish streams/rivers as they turn up

12:05 pm

welki

we were going to bring our float tube set ups, but the lake in california is a big one - very tiring if the wind whips up and sails you across to the other side

12:05 pm

cybernan

please make sure the water is safe --- you don't want montezuma to come for a visit!

12:06 pm

BzznBea

Sounds wonderful, welki.

12:06 pm

hokie carla

hey, we're south of you but not mexico!

12:06 pm

hokie carla

it does sound wonderful

12:06 pm

72 Temple Owl

boring slog of a grid

12:06 pm

welki

with a little luck, we won't end up in the water, nan; and we catch/release, so no worries from the fish

12:06 pm

welki

where are you, hokie?

12:07 pm

cybernan

yes but with all the drought we have had the streams aren't as pure as they used to be

12:07 pm

welki

no, it's the same in california - the lake is very low, streams are slow

12:07 pm

72 Temple Owl

you are going to mexico? my friends just moved to rosarita

12:07 pm

hokie carla

well, we moved to SC, but was just pointing out to nan that montezuma's revenge is from drinking the water in mexico.

12:07 pm

welki

(no mexico for us)

12:08 pm

cybernan

ok - if you aren't eating the fish then it doesn't matter. Only time I've been fishing is every weekend when I was akid -- always looked forward to having rainbow trout for dinner :)

12:08 pm

welki

ohhhh, hokie, i thought you meant you were on a road trip

12:08 pm

72 Temple Owl

they are building. high end $() SF compared to $3-400

12:08 pm

hokie carla

we have our motorhome on consignment at a dealer right now. no idea if they are even getting any bites.

12:09 pm

cybernan

not only mexico carla -- had a visit from montezuma while touring France and China.

12:09 pm

72 Temple Owl

what class motorhome?

12:09 pm

welki

we have an f150 powerboost with the 7.2 generator on board - we tested running the trailer with it yesterday - winner!

12:09 pm

hokie carla

we have a class A

12:10 pm

welki

(which means we can boondock if we want to)

12:10 pm

72 Temple Owl

like a bus?

12:11 pm

hokie carla

yeah, we didn't do a lot of boondocking, but it was nice having a generator.

12:11 pm

hokie carla

yes, the class A is like the bus type that rock bands, etc. have.

12:12 pm

welki

not the partridge family *lolol*

12:12 pm

72 Temple Owl

they are very hard to come by because so many bands are on the road now all at once

12:13 pm

moolingwa

sorry, got distracted

12:13 pm

cybernan

I would think the price of gas would prohibit a lot of travel in those things.

12:13 pm

72 Temple Owl

okay so who's going to mexico?

12:13 pm

hokie carla

yeah, ours is a diesel which is very high right now

12:14 pm

welki

back to packing - later, folks

12:14 pm

MollyL

Or (in Carla's case) the Barbie Dream Camper

12:14 pm

hokie carla

bye welki

12:21 pm

moolingwa

12:22 pm

hokie carla

still need 1 L and 1 A there too

12:24 pm

moolingwa

a's are pretty normal, except perhaps the french word, ad another odd one that shows up a reasonable amount

12:24 pm

hokie carla

got the french one surprisingly

12:25 pm

moolingwa

we can talk about that afterwards then :)

12:25 pm

cybernan

thought there are two french a's

12:25 pm

hokie carla

I only know it from skiing

12:26 pm

hokie carla

what's the other one, nan?

12:27 pm

moolingwa

I believe she may be referring to the 5/6 combo

12:27 pm

moolingwa

along with the other one

12:29 pm

cybernan

yes - mool is correct

12:29 pm

hokie carla

tree service is here to cut dead branches out of my maple tree --- don't think there will be much left when they have finished. Between the extreme heat and extreme cold we've had over the last year and a half, there are a lot of dead limbs.

12:39 pm

hokie carla

ok, I think I have those

12:40 pm

hokie carla

is it changing colors yet, nan?

12:40 pm

MollyL

You have dead limbs Carla?

12:41 pm

hokie carla

well, probably but was referring to the a5/6 combo

no, we are all antipel on this board

1:06 pm

hokie carla

not process

1:07 pm

hokie carla

ps - yes I know propel is not even a 7

1:07 pm

moolingwa

indeed, too much bureaucracy

1:08 pm

earpose - something that ear models strike - yes there's such a thing as an ear model

1:11 pm

hokie carla

I just spent several minutes saying prepose in my head and wondering what the real word was if that wasn't in the dictionary ðŸ™„

1:12 pm

moolingwa

yeah, it's just not acceptable in this dictionary

1:12 pm

hokie carla

also I am finished with the small P so I know this has to come from the other

1:13 pm

penquis

it's a little twisty...

1:13 pm

BzznBea

Now that I realize I'm looking at the wrong P, might be a bit easier...

1:14 pm

last column and middle row greyed

1:14 pm

it would work from both Ps....

well, bea and I struggled with it literally just below, so I was joking

I'm assuming that ra 8/50 is a compound, but not seeing anything

1:31 pm

hokie carla

do not have but will look

1:32 pm

cybernan

botany -- might have guessed

1:32 pm

hokie carla

so, not a compound?

1:33 pm

cybernan

no but could give a clue

1:33 pm

BzznBea

it is ends with a large deer missing a vowel

1:34 pm

hokie carla

hmmm

1:35 pm

cybernan

lol - was going to say topo gigio without a vowel

1:36 pm

MollyL

Well I have learned something new today. I did not know that a Bullwinkle was just a large deer.

1:36 pm

cybernan

or competing mickey or minnie without one vowel

1:36 pm

cybernan

actulally he is an elk

1:36 pm

1:37 pm

According to Google they are all the same animal family. Elk, deer and the other.

1:37 pm

hokie carla

bullwinkle's last name is moose

1:38 pm

MollyL

Yeah, I was trying not to use that word.

1:38 pm

hokie carla

I know, and I didn't care ðŸ¤£

1:38 pm

periwinkle

not seeing that ra8 even with clues

1:39 pm

MollyL

You so often don't.

1:39 pm

hokie carla

how about a running contest + a rodent minus a vowel

1:39 pm

MollyL

That was to Carla, not you Peri

1:40 pm

hokie carla

LOL, was just going to say I can't believe you would say that to peri ðŸ¤£

1:40 pm

ChampFit

Worked for me! Thx carla

1:40 pm

U got the ra8 thanks

1:40 pm

1:46 pm

periwinkle

yes

1:47 pm

I have my own washer and dryer and a dish washer. central air.

1:47 pm

1:47 pm

penquis

wow...i am envious!

1:47 pm

hokie carla

awesome! glad you found somewhere.

1:47 pm

periwinkle

it is nice. but the landlord will not let me have a cat :(

1:47 pm

periwinkle

moving day 11/1

1:48 pm

periwinkle

ceiling fan in bedroom

1:48 pm

penquis

ah, that's too bad....

1:48 pm

penquis

but it sounds really nice...

1:49 pm

hokie carla

oh, that stinks

1:49 pm

periwinkle

it is near a nice shopping center that I can walk too and a super market is close by. another market is a little bit farther but I am familiar with it

1:49 pm

penquis

sounds like a great location for you....

1:49 pm

periwinkle

maybe when he see that I am a good tenant he will change his mind about the cat

1:49 pm

periwinkle

my room mate is moving back to Mass

1:50 pm

penquis

perhaps...my old landlord accepted a few pets after saying he would not....

1:50 pm

penquis

so your find comes at a good time...

1:52 pm

periwinkle

110 left and stuck

1:53 pm

hokie carla

as a landlord, I would be more likely at accepting a dog than a cat. no offense to cat people but I have been in too many houses with cats that just smell bad. I know some people do a better job with the cat litter than others because I have also been in plenty of houses with cats where you'd never know.

1:53 pm

periwinkle

both of my neighbors here have cats and you would never know

1:54 pm

cybernan

and I feel the same about dogs -- dogs do smell! you can clean up cat litter every day, but few people bathe their dogs every day.

1:55 pm

periwinkle

agree nan

1:55 pm

periwinkle

missing 4 of the 8s but did not see them clued in the chat

1:55 pm

hokie carla

true too, nan. would never bathe my dog every day though, for multiple reasons, the main one being it would smell like wet dog every day.

1:56 pm

penquis

it all goes back to the owner and not the pet....

1:57 pm

hokie carla

yes, and a landlord just isn't going to take the chance

1:57 pm

hokie carla

I mean some do, obviously

1:57 pm

periwinkle

I understand but I do not like it

1:58 pm

periwinkle

bbl

1:58 pm

penquis

yes....here there is a significant extra deposit and monthly fee for someone with a pet....and it's counted by the number of pets...

1:58 pm

MollyL

I agree with Carla about pet odor. Cat odor is much more pronounced than dog odor.

1:59 pm

hokie carla

yes, now that we don't have our motorhome I have been looking at vrbos and airbnbs that allow pets and it's ridiculous how many have a weight limit for dogs.

1:59 pm

MollyL

Probably because dogs don't do their business in the house.

1:59 pm

penquis

probably because they do their business IN the house....

1:59 pm

penquis

LOL....

1:59 pm

MollyL

Not to mention the cat hair everywhere in a cat owner's house.

2:00 pm

hokie carla

like winston is going to cause more damage than a dog that weighs 40lbs. I mean, he is going to leave more dog hair than others, but not because of his weight.

2:00 pm

MollyL

No clue what Pen means but okay

2:00 pm

penquis

we pretty much said the same thing...

2:00 pm

hokie carla

pen just said the same thing as you and was laughing about it

2:01 pm

moolingwa

4:08 pm

hokie carla

I just tried like 5 4's even though I don't need any 4'

4:09 pm

moolingwa

it's good to be certain

4:11 pm

moolingwa

porsche is unacceptable if you were wondering...not that I need a 7

4:13 pm

hokie carla

phantom compare

4:13 pm

hokie carla

and prepare

4:13 pm

moolingwa

specter :)

4:13 pm

hokie carla

compel

4:13 pm

moolingwa

you can't make me

4:15 pm

hokie carla

mr. homie needs some bi6, he was just telling me about this big bird in one of our trees, so I'm thinking hawk or eagle, and then I finally see what he's talking about and it's like robin size.

4:15 pm

periwinkle

more help with in6 pllease

4:16 pm

moolingwa

not that many robin sized birds :)

4:16 pm

moolingwa

not out there peri ;)

4:16 pm

moolingwa

any markings or colours hoke?

4:16 pm

hokie carla

not a cardinal

4:17 pm

hokie carla

looked kinda boring. was not a robin.

4:17 pm

moolingwa

well that eliminates one of the 600 or so possible options ;)

4:17 pm

periwinkle

ty moo

4:17 pm

moolingwa

a thrush maybe...the american robin is part of that family

4:17 pm

hokie carla

of course it flew off when I finally saw it

4:17 pm

moolingwa

of course

4:18 pm

hokie carla

I don't think thrush, just looked and I think it was bigger than that

4:18 pm

moolingwa

I had a juvenile redtail that was actually flying lower than me on my bike ride yesterday...tried sneaking up on a squirrel

4:18 pm

moolingwa

the squirrel was not amused

4:18 pm

Scrabbler

So cool.

4:18 pm

hokie carla

haha, squirrels have it coming

4:19 pm

moolingwa

yeah, it actually flew past me just over my head, and hen down just above the ground

4:20 pm

moolingwa

I once put my thanksgiving turkey carcass out in my yard when I lived on land in PA...got a redtail on that too...and some turkey vultures too

4:20 pm

Scrabbler

Haha.

4:20 pm

moolingwa

that was my best wildlife house

4:21 pm

Scrabbler

I have a pair of broadtail hawks living near me in the woods. They start whistling and I go look for them.

4:21 pm

hokie carla

you know, it might've actually been a female cardinal but I don't think there was any red on the wings

4:21 pm

moolingwa

would have thought I'd find the e by now

4:21 pm

moolingwa

hard to see the red on the wings

4:21 pm

moolingwa

but the black on the face normally is pretty prominent

4:22 pm

moolingwa

plus the bill shape is distinctive

4:22 pm

hokie carla

def not close enough to see the bill

4:22 pm

moolingwa

robins have pointy beaks for catching bugs...cardinals have triangular ones to crack seeds

4:22 pm

hokie carla

which E? I still need 2 upper but have all the others

4:22 pm

moolingwa

cardinals also a bit smaller than robins

4:22 pm

moolingwa

one upper E

4:23 pm

moolingwa

it's a 5 or 6 tho :)

4:23 pm

hokie carla

I'm currently looking at the top 31 backyard birds in SC

4:23 pm

Scrabbler

I passed halfway. Now I need naproxen to knock out this weather-triggered migraine.

4:23 pm

hokie carla

ugh, good luck

4:23 pm

moolingwa

let me guess...

House Sparrow, House Finch, American Goldfinch, Northern Cardinal...

4:24 pm

moolingwa

Northern Mockingbird, Blue Jay, American Robin, Mourning Dove...

4:24 pm

moolingwa

Carolina Chickadee, Tufted Titmouse (maybe), European Starling

4:24 pm

hokie carla

have only seen the cardinal out of those so far. have heard mourning doves here but not right now and it wasn't that, but probably about that big.

4:24 pm

hokie carla

yes to the chickadee

4:25 pm

hokie carla

I can give you the link

4:25 pm

moolingwa

it's okay

4:26 pm

hokie carla

american crow #6. we have a buttload of those, but obviously it wasn't that.

4:26 pm

moolingwa

obviously

4:27 pm

moolingwa

looks like they're projecting Ian to loop back around into South Carolina after getting restarted some in the Atlantic

4:27 pm

hokie carla

I have not seen any turkeys today, and I would consider that a large bird

4:27 pm

hokie carla

yep, we

4:27 pm

hokie carla

yep, we're def getting rain. looks like here and charlotte (where my oldest is) might get hit.

4:29 pm

hokie carla

maybe I should get into bird watching since I'm old and live with old people

4:29 pm

moolingwa

hah

4:30 pm

Soodle

Hurricane Ian is getting a lot of news coverage in this part of the world. I hope all Babblers and everyone else are safe and dry. Prayers with all...

4:31 pm

hokie carla

it's a big one, soodle

4:31 pm

hokie carla

the painted bunting is pretty. I'd like to see one of those.

4:31 pm

moolingwa

yep

4:31 pm

moolingwa

I saw my first one in SC, albeit near Hilton Head

4:32 pm

hokie carla

yeah, it says southern part of the state

4:33 pm

moolingwa

I got a bunch of female ones in my yard in Miami once

4:33 pm

hokie carla

I'm guessing the male is the pretty one

4:33 pm

moolingwa

that's a good guess

4:34 pm

hokie carla

finally made it to 29

4:43 pm

moolingwa

still 4

4:44 pm

hokie carla

went to list. have skipped 2 r's.

4:44 pm

moolingwa

I only have one r left

4:45 pm

hokie carla

a 7 and a 6

4:45 pm

moolingwa

all the 7s are regular words, with perhaps the last one being a bit contrived

4:45 pm

hokie carla

well the 6 was easy, not sure why I missed that twice

4:46 pm

hokie carla

now I know which R the 7 is from

4:46 pm

hokie carla

geez

4:46 pm

hokie carla

I am sorry about that for sure

4:47 pm

moolingwa

:)

4:49 pm

hokie carla

argh. pe6. how am I missing all these? I am losing my mental faculties.

4:49 pm

moolingwa

well it curves back

4:51 pm

hokie carla

I hope the first pe6 is not that easy because I can't find it

4:51 pm

moolingwa

still can't find my missing e

4:51 pm

moolingwa

no, it's an odd one

4:51 pm

moolingwa

not seen it before

4:51 pm

hokie carla

I am working from the bottom, so I haven't found mine either

4:52 pm

hokie carla

do you have any clue that I might understand?

4:52 pm

moolingwa

measurement of really long periods of time?

4:54 pm

moolingwa

for instance, something that very really happens, might happen once pe6

4:54 pm

moolingwa

really=rarely

4:55 pm

hokie carla

thought I tried that, thanks

4:55 pm

wht

r

4:55 pm

hokie carla

my missing e's were easy

4:55 pm

moolingwa

great

4:56 pm

hokie carla

probably one of those is yours

4:56 pm

hokie carla

because the rest are easy too

4:56 pm

moolingwa

heh

4:56 pm

moolingwa

well it's the top e

4:56 pm

hokie carla

but one is a word I know but don't really use

4:57 pm

moolingwa

uneven one?

4:58 pm

hokie carla

not sure what that is, it is a 5 I learned in a bible study group several years back

4:58 pm

hokie carla

now to the c's - 9 left

4:59 pm

moolingwa

oh, the time period one maybe

4:59 pm

hokie carla

5:02 pm

moolingwa

the year 1800 was preted

5:03 pm

hokie carla

5:03 pm

moolingwa

of course

5:04 pm

hokie carla

5:12 pm

hokie carla
