6:58 am
MollyL

The other 7's are on the odd side
6:59 am
MollyL

I don't know, some people might consider ta7 on the normal side, but it is not widely used. At least not in the circles I run in.
7:28 am
Scrabbler

When did Babble start working yesterday? I never checked again after the morning.
7:29 am
Uneaixoise

Clue for pl7?
7:31 am
Scrabbler

I am looking but I don't know the grid well yet.
7:34 am
Scrabbler

pl + preposition + airpl***
7:34 am
Scrabbler

My monkey found it. New word for me.
7:42 am
NatashaW

I used to read Wine Spectator at my dentist's office, it was full of ta7s. :-)
7:42 am
Scrabbler

TY for the clue.
7:43 am
NatashaW

yw scrabs!
7:45 am
JaxH66

I have ta7, sp7 and pl7. What am I missing?
7:45 am
NatashaW

na7
7:46 am
Scrabbler

So I need sp7 and na7.
7:47 am
chrisk

Scrabbler - it started working midday. Dr. God had to generate new puzzles.
7:47 am
JaxH66

sp7 builds off a sp4
7:47 am
NatashaW

sp7 is a normal word. na7 is a nice shrub with red berries
7:47 am
Scrabbler

Duh, TY, Jax.
7:47 am
Scrabbler

Interesting, Chris.
7:49 am
chrisk

Yes - I thought that there was a random generator that just ran a new puzzle each day. But there is a store of puzzles and it ran out.
7:50 am
NatashaW

wow, had no idea there was a Divine Intelligence behind this
7:50 am
Scrabbler

Wow.
7:50 am
Scrabbler

Google gave me Nandina but that is not in the grid. Am I close?
7:50 am
Scrabbler

Yes, I have it.
7:51 am
NatashaW

LOL do you get sent to the PB for that?
7:51 am
Scrabbler

I hope so.
7:51 am
mattygroves

Were you close?
7:51 am
NatashaW

:-)
7:52 am
Scrabbler

Different last letter.
7:52 am

Yes. Yes you were ;)
7:52 am

7:53 am
BzznBea

Nandina is an invasive shrub. Not well liked by naturalists.
7:54 am
MollyL

Botanist Bea fills us in. : )
7:54 am
BzznBea

=)
7:54 am
NatashaW

So Bea, do you have any advice re extirpating the wild yam that is strangling everything in my garden and spreading like kudzu?
7:55 am
BzznBea

Just received my Mater Gardener certification. Need to use it.
7:55 am
Scrabbler

Time to go. I am driving into the city for an appointment.
7:55 am

MollyL

Oh my ** bows to the Master **

MollyL

I knew a Wild Yam once. She was a biker.
: D
7:57 am
hokie carla

thx to whoever said wine for the ta7. I don't drink wine but somehow knew that.
7:57 am
hokie carla

I have done wine tastings. guess I read it there.
7:57 am
MollyL

And only a person who plays Babble would say extirpate instead of root out
7:59 am
hokie carla

so the ba8 is not a weird spelling of bologna?
7:59 am
NatashaW

YW carla. Meanwhile I've poked about and discovered it's not the wild yam but rather the air potato, diascorea bulbifera. And boy is it ever bulbifera.
8:00 am
hokie carla

My lucky day. My youngest was born on a December Friday the 13th. Not so lucky this year, I have what sounds like croup.
10:11 am

Boo, Molls. A drag to be sick - especially around the holidays.

Oh dear God, it did change.
10:22 am

If you open up another tab, you can play both at once. Although not many people have time for such things.
10:22 am

HA! Just did a refresh. .It did indeed.
10:22 am
Judi

There's a first.
10:23 am

Are these signs of Babble dementia?
10:23 am
rururocks

292 is double 146.. i wrote to dr g.. this happened once before
10:24 am

Yeah, it's the same grid with different word totals.
10:24 am

I opened another tab ... the 292 grid is there again

10:36 am

think we need something more substantial than that, judi
10:36 am
MollyL

I thought that said quick fix apple. I'm so not used to abbreviations.
10:38 am
MollyL

Find a dip recipe that matches what you have on hand and pair it with chopped vegetables and/or fruit
10:38 am
amelu0218

Spicy Hot Crackers, nan... no, not substantial enough... deviled eggs, maybe?
10:38 am
cybernan

good idea molly
10:39 am
cybernan

and another one, amelu
10:39 am
MollyL

I don't know how people fix food for a group with all of the dietary restrictions people have these days. It is hard to please everyone. Especially the gluten free.
10:40 am
rururocks

i have a gluten free xmas dinner coming up :D
10:40 am
cybernan

that's the problem molly there are 12 of us -- everyone is age 70 or older, so there are lots of dietary restrictions
10:40 am
amelu0218

I just make sure to list all ingredients on card next to dish. They can eat it if they so please or not.
10:41 am
Dr_God

Well, Babblers, it seems we have another situation. It seems we have DOUBLE puzzles today. So if you refresh the page, you might get a completely different puzzle. Unfortunately, I'm not quite sure what the solution is yet. I've got my thinking cap on though...
10:42 am
MollyL

Cottage cheese and sliced bananas in an attractive holiday dish. : D

It's the same grid with double the word total.
10:43 am
amelu0218

1/2 pears w/salad dressing and shredded cheddar?
10:44 am
mrloser

denia
10:44 am
MollyL

Lickety is correct. There is no second 146.
10:44 am
amelu0218

and we can only enter them once, so I guess my fw were valid, lol.
10:45 am
mrloser

denia
10:45 am
MollyL

The rankings will probably go to hell. Fortunately, I gave up caring about them long ago.
10:47 am
Dr_God

Ok. Thankfully, it seems no words were entered on the weird extra puzzle. So we should be okay? If anyone notices anything weird though, drop me an email.
10:48 am
rururocks

it is still 292 and it's only a 146 grid.. it's not ok
10:48 am
amelu0218

Eh, whoever is keeping scores these days can probably manually manipulate for accuracy if they're aware of the problem.
10:49 am

Anyone have clues for the first 5 Pa's? I'm stumped.
10:51 am

You are correct, rururocks. It seems the available words were doubled up as well. It should be fixed now if you refresh.

Good job, thanks Dr. God.

12:15 pm
MollyL

The problem with Enable is it only like "some" Scot words, and "some" French words. It is entirely inconsistent. Except when it come to the nerdy foreign currency words.
12:15 pm
bichon

so true ru
12:15 pm
bichon

takes lot of Spanish and Hebrew words
12:17 pm
MollyL

But not all Spanish and Hebrew words. Unless you have a photographic memory (as some at the flip seem to) you are doomed
12:18 pm

LOL, Enable, like most people, doesn't like spam
12:18 pm

because spam was only a proper noun the last time enable was updated

it just looks awful to me cad.. no way i could touch it
12:27 pm

I grew up a Coast Guard brat and we never ate it.
12:28 pm
hokie carla

My husband bought several cans for a week bike trip he did with friends. I think it's good for tent camping. I haven't had any since I was a kid but I remember liking it.
12:28 pm
hokie carla

I also remember eating deviled ham sandwiches and liking it.
12:28 pm
CadFan

Mom got it at the Commissary, she'd slice it and fry it with eggs.
12:29 pm
CadFan

They make hundreds (I might be exaggerating here) of different kinds now.
12:29 pm
MollyL

I make my own ham salad and like it, but I would never eat that stuff from a can.
12:29 pm
hokie carla

there are definitely more varieties
12:30 pm
hokie carla

well, we didn't have a lot of $$ when I was a kid and I think that stuff was cheaper and better shelf life.
12:31 pm
hokie carla

ok, my last word is a 5 and I know the first 3. can I get it? time will tell.
12:33 pm
MollyL

The first ba5/14 is an ordinary word for anyone who grew up Catholic. The ba5/14 of marriage were posted weekly in the church bulletin.
12:34 pm

yeah, that's why I didn't know it
12:34 pm
