Hi Rose - how's that for timing. I've been chatting to a friend and just came back to babble - hope all's well with you and yours.

12:58 am

grannyrose

yes thanx lizgirl timing impeccable as always. hope all is well with you and yours. as soon as we are allowed to travel we are coming back up.

12:59 am

Lizlin

All's good here. Looking forward to being allowed to walk on the beach again next week. Still staying well away from everyone.

1:01 am

grannyrose

i don't care if our restrictions are lifted. i am going to continue in isolation for another two weeks. if no second outbreak, THEN i will allow myself some freedom.

1:02 am

Lizlin

The beaches shouldn't be crowded during the week - if they are, we'll stay away. Wouldn't go near them at the weekend. But it's pretty easy to avoid people when walking on the beach - there's enough space!

1:03 am

Lizlin

I don't think border restrictions will or should be lifted for a long time. I'm pretty p**d off - should've been flying to the UK on Thursday for my nephew's wedding.

1:08 am

gramma

I could use some advice. Last year friends of my son asked if they could have their wedding at our place. No more than 100 people on the guest list. Well as you all know, things have changed in our world and I am afraid of having that size a gathering. I hoped they would say they'd make other plans but I haven't heard a word. How do I handle this June wedding?

7:02 am

Atalante

I'd take advice from wedding professionals / event organisers, there must be some webinars or guidelines or something. Or just say no, in a polite and loving way

7:02 am

BzznBea

Maybe things will open up by June? I would definitely talk to them now and share your concerns. Let them know ou are having second thoughts. But they need to know NOW.

7:04 am

gramma

I don't want to be that person who takes back her word. There is no money exchanged just gardening. They cleaned out my huge overgrown garden in exchange for the use of our property

7:05 am

gramma

Do I offer to pay them for their labors?

7:05 am

Atalante

the world is different now .... that would be a lovely thing to do

7:06 am

gramma

Today is my personal deadline. It's really weighing on me.

7:07 am

gramma

I don't know how to even start the conversation.

7:07 am

Atalante

they will be worrying about it too

7:08 am

gramma

I feel terrible.

7:08 am

gramma

My children are all like no way.

7:08 am

Atalante

don't, its not your fault coronavirus came along and changed everyone's priorities

7:08 am

M3

Gramma, take it out of your hands contact them and say, Hi regrads wedding etc, one can presume there will be still restricions in place have you considered alternate arrangemtns?

7:10 am

gramma

I am not in a position to offer an alternative. They will be travelling from Canada so maybe it's a moot point.

7:12 am

Atalante

if you're in a vulnerable category, you just have to say it can't happen and given border restrctions you wouldn't want them to organise an amazing wedding and not be able to travel. but that you'd happily help as you can with flowers? whatever?

7:15 am

gramma

The wedding invitations were sent out and the tent and caterers are booked. I guess I just have to pull up my big girl panties and call them.

7:20 am

Flask1

gramma, I am very surprised that they haven't been in touch with you....with regards to cancelling the whole wedding...nobody is getting married right now.....weddings that were booked for this are all being postponed until at least Sept/Oct even November....I am just very surprised that they haven't contacted you before now....the onus is not on you gramma

7:20 am

Atalante

I'd be amazed if they weren't waiting for the call

7:20 am

bojazz

I agree with your children. This is not your fault and I'm surprised these people have not contacted you. You should contact them as soon as possible to let them know...

7:21 am

welki

'morning, all

7:21 am

welki

gramma, don't forget that our borders are closed to each other, except for essential travel

7:21 am

Flask1

Morning welki...

7:21 am

gramma

Well today is the day. Oh how I wish I wasn't a grown up.

7:22 am

MollyL

When did they send out the invitations?

7:22 am

welki

it's likely that the closures will be extended past the end of may

7:22 am

gramma

The wedding is June

7:23 am

Flask1

of course they will welki....its just wishful thinking, if anyone thinks otherwise!!

7:23 am

MollyL

General rule of thumb is to send invitation six to eight weeks before a wedding. That would have been smack in the middle of all this virus stuff. I can't believe they sent them out.

7:24 am

gramma

Thanks everybody. I will get it over with and let you know how it turns out. bbl

7:24 am

Flask1

Methinks they live in a bit of a bubble

7:24 am

Flask1

Good luck!

7:25 am

MollyL

I think it was WAY overly optimistic of them to send out wedding invitations for a June wedding with all that has gone on.

7:25 am

Flask1

Exactly!

7:28 am

MollyL

Even if their host said yes, and they went ahead, I bet a lot of invited guests would decline.

7:29 am

chrisk

Gramma - I looked at the Vermont Health Department website. It states that travelers to Vermont should quarantine for at least 14 days after arrival. I think that settles the question.

7:29 am

Flask1

Of course they would...

7:30 am

Flask1

...and the 14 day quarantine is world-wide

7:31 am

Flask1

My sympathy lies with gramma...she must be in knots...

7:35 am

MollyL

If she was generous enough to offer her place as a wedding venue, that couple should have been in touch with her long before now.

7:43 am

welki

so - the gathering is too big, it is 'non-essential' travel, folks coming into vermont will have to quarantine for 14 days, lodging and eat-in restaurants will be difficult to find for guests. even if vermont 'opens,' it's own website says the rules are here to stay until there's a vaccine.

7:50 am

LuvWordGames

just finished, any clues needed?

7:50 am

BzznBea

Congrats, luv. Thanks, I'll keep plugging along...

7:51 am

LuvWordGames

ty Bea :-)

7:51 am

MollyL

If people have to stay at home until there is a vaccine, we are in a lot of trouble. People are already a month without income and a vaccine for this thing is months if not a year off.

7:54 am

welki

The quote was in reference to physical distancing

7:56 am

welki

vermont's chief medical officer said, "Physical distancing from others “is here to stay,” he said, until an anti-viral treatment or a vaccine is developed."

https://tinyurl.com/uunva\nzg

7:57 am

welki

now, that's strange - a broken tiny url link

https://tinyurl.com/uunvazg

7:58 am

MollyL

That still has huge ramifications. For the entertainment industry, the salon industry, the travel industry. And probably dozens of others I am not thinking of at the moment.

7:59 am

Charli2

Hi all, I don't chat often but I play whenever I have the chance. Just wanted to say to Gramma about the wedding - It's completely reasonable under the circumstances to cancel. You could offer your location again when the social distance restrictions are lifted and it's safe to have a gathering again.

8:00 am

Flask1

Molly it's a financial disaster world-wide....so many businesses will just never appear again....

8:01 am

Flask1

tarted

8:02 am

doseffing

Flask, has there been any reaction yet to the minister's comments about this thing now showing signs of affecting the health of some noticeable number of young children

8:04 am

Flask1

dose...other than surprise and fear, not really...yet!

8:05 am

doseffing

... just wondering ... thanks

8:06 am

Flask1

At the very beginning the "proffessionals" insisted that those of 70yrs should be the most worried.....utter claptrap.....as we now know

8:10 am

doseffing

... when this thing first started out I noticed a report that it appeared that 20-25% of those who were recovering (I believe in Wuhan or China as a whole) were left afflicted with permanent lung and/or pulmonary damage. This situation wounds like you're finding small kids showing signs of such damage even though they appear to have been asymptomatic.

8:11 am

doseffing

... never heard anymore ... the report had just seemed to have vanished as the spread took hold

8:14 am

player girl

I don't know exactly what Gramma's situation vis a vis said wedding but here people are doing weddings with 20 people and all other "guests" are sent Zoom links or some other on line only link. People just have to soldier on. I am in Israel and religious, couples don't have physical contact until married so postponing the wedding isn't a viable option. So 20 guests it is.Next week they are already lifting some restrictions.

8:14 am

player girl

We only had 40 new cases this week. Social distancing DOES work.

8:21 am

Flask1

.I find the whole thing very scary....

8:23 am

doseffing

... I don't disagree

8:25 am

Flask1

Like millions of others I am severely disabled and as a result I am left with ventillation problems....hence the reason I am scared

8:27 am

doseffing

... from here I can only wish you luck and command you to stay well ...

Trifioso

the boston harbor islands are GORGEOUS and many are run as state parks now. It's super frustrating for those of us on the south shore, however, as the ferry service STINKS - you have to drive into boston and get the ferry to an island I can see from Hingham Harbor - it makes NO sense.

8:47 am

HarryHood

we went to spectacle island this past summer

8:48 am

Trifioso

OHHHHHHH that is my FAVORITE Harry!

8:48 am

HarryHood

it was crazy hot

8:48 am

jzw

Near Boston myself!

8:48 am

HarryHood

I hadn't realized that it was mostly fill from the big dig

8:48 am

all the cool kids are, jzw! lol

8:49 am

Trifioso

Lovely swimming beach, harry, and cant' beat the view!

8:49 am

Have you walked around Deer Island? No boat needed!

8:50 am

HarryHood

I take my students to deer island every year to tour the sewage treatment plant!

8:50 am

jzw

I've been wanting to do that!

8:50 am

Trifioso

yup! And Castle, Lovell's, George's a billion times, Plum, and I swam to the one with the church on it once....

8:51 am

Trifioso

Peddocks?

8:51 am

MLFAN17

i have found 9 m words at the moment

8:52 am

this ranger took us on a walk on spectacle, and I was touching all the vegetation, and then she mentioned about one weed which was an irritant and shouldn't be touched, and my hand had a really bad rash for the next few months :)

8:52 am

Trifioso

i want a boat now....

8:52 am

Trifioso

oh no! do you remember what it was?

8:52 am

HarryHood

I don't :)

8:53 am

HarryHood

so I will probably do the same thing again next time :)

8:53 am

Trifioso

lolol. I always leave with contraband sea glass.

8:53 am

my husband said for the longest time he wanted a boat but the past few years he has said no he doesn't.

Nasty nettle in MA and New England. My nephew used to do maintenance for a 9-hole golf course. Literally ran into nettle all the time. Painful blisters. Not much you can do for it. Oatmeal bath, calamine lotion.

That is what I was asking. =)

9:18 am

moolingwa

one of the 8s is not a common word, though it appears in babble, especially the stem

9:19 am

moolingwa

or you could be missing the two at8s :)

9:19 am

hokie carla

I have one at8. I thought bea was just saying there was another 8, not another at8.

9:19 am

the stem is pretty common in babble, and is actually a palindrome when paired with another word in the grid

9:32 am

hokie carla

was talking to moo, not you

9:32 am

BzznBea

starts with the number after nine

9:33 am

BzznBea

Start with the te5 mlf.

9:33 am

hokie carla

bea, do you want to guess which n I'm missing from top?

9:34 am

hokie carla

hmm, I do not have a te5. looking now.

9:34 am

BzznBea

Probably an A. =)

9:36 am

72 Temple Owl

meaner

9:36 am

BzznBea

At least it is unanimous.

9:36 am

moolingwa

it seldom is :)

9:37 am

BzznBea

Second 9 is no9.72, Marian

9:37 am

72 Temple Owl

9:37 am

hokie carla

that must be my missing n

9:37 am

moolingwa

that is so not a word

9:38 am

72 Temple Owl

missing one 9, but this grid doesn't look too bad

9:38 am

moolingwa

5 to go

9:38 am

Marian Todd

Will look -thanks Bea

9:38 am

moolingwa

tx bzz

9:38 am

moolingwa

figured it was one of those types of words

9:38 am

72 Temple Owl

i am sure it's a non word :D

9:39 am

moolingwa

literally and figuratively

9:39 am

72 Temple Owl

and found it.

9:39 am

72 Temple Owl

yes.

9:39 am

moolingwa

4 to go...and one of them is a 4

9:39 am

hokie carla

got it, thx. first word I thought of to add to it, didn't even count the letters and it worked

9:39 am

72 Temple Owl

but i think de gr5/16 should be a word.

9:39 am

hokie carla

still haven't found the right combo of letters for the te8 though

9:40 am

moolingwa

the 5 can be spelled backwards and forwards and they are both legit words

9:40 am

72 Temple Owl

it's one who or one that does

9:40 am

BzznBea

ones who te5, Carla.

9:40 am

72 Temple Owl

yes. did not notice that.

9:40 am

moolingwa

and who doesn't want to te?

9:41 am

hokie carla

gracias. thought I'd tried that. and seriously, huh?

9:41 am

72 Temple Owl

you know you've been doing this too long when you don't even need to look at the grid and can find words.

9:41 am

hokie carla

there are so many words that one who does should be a word but it isn't accepted

9:41 am

moolingwa

yep

9:41 am

72 Temple Owl

does that ever happen to you when using lickety, especially?

9:42 am

moolingwa

me? I don't use lickety

9:42 am

72 Temple Owl

you never refer to his list?

9:43 am

hokie carla

happens to me all the time with the list.

9:43 am

moolingwa

no

9:43 am

hokie carla

moo doesn't list, he just does as much as he can, which is usually an insane amount!!

9:43 am

Marian Todd

Still looking for the no9 and not seeing it - any clues please

9:43 am

moolingwa

it's because I'm insane

9:43 am

72 Temple Owl

i love the challenge of just going for it.

9:43 am

BzznBea

what you get if you don't complete college, Marian

9:44 am

hokie carla

marian, it's not getting something from a college

9:44 am

moolingwa

if you went to college then this word is probably inappropriate

9:45 am

MollyL

Could someone say college again? : D

9:45 am

BzznBea

college

9:45 am

Marian Todd

Thanks Hokie and Mool - did not know that as one word

9:45 am

moolingwa

college again

9:45 am

hokie carla

how about university like the english call it?

9:45 am

moolingwa

we called in university

9:45 am

moolingwa

college was usually a private high school

9:46 am

hokie carla

well, I figured you did

9:46 am

moolingwa

we certainly did not call it school...probably a branding thing :)

9:46 am

hokie carla

seems like NZ/Aus English is same as UK English

9:46 am

moolingwa

more similar than the US, but not entirely the same

9:46 am

moolingwa

especially australian

9:46 am

72 Temple Owl

9:48 am

my ex brother-in-law went to australia and asked the waiter for a nappie

moolingwa

he meant a serviette of course ;)

9:49 am

player girl

Oh Moo, too funny!

9:49 am

MollyL

Bob's your uncle, bollocks, bubble and squeak.

9:49 am

hokie carla

is a serviette a napkin? and a nappie is a diaper, correct?

9:49 am

Flask1

thanks playergirl

9:49 am

player girl

I once told someone British that I wasn't going to wear pants somewhere and she thought I meant panties while I just planned on wearing a skirt.

9:50 am

bichon

serviette is a Germn word oo

9:50 am

BzznBea

My favorite from a Brit friend is billywhiz...

9:50 am

jumper = sweater, whereas US jumper is like an overalls dress

9:51 am

hokie carla

I can't figure out any other r from bottom row

There are a lot. Israel is a real melting pot and English speakers tend to group together so it can be funny.

9:51 am

72 Temple Owl

9:51 am

moolingwa

9:51 am

moolingwa

serviette is a french word

9:52 am

moolingwa

I believe, let me check

9:52 am

moolingwa

9:52 am

moolingwa

we just use the toilet

9:52 am

hokie carla

yeah, I don't really say go potty

9:53 am

72 Temple Owl

or go to the bathroom

9:53 am

hokie carla

in appalachia we say commode instead of toilet

9:53 am

hokie carla

which might also be frensh

9:53 am

MollyL

I have trouble with adults who say "go potty"

9:53 am

hokie carla

french

9:53 am

moolingwa

Aussies will sometimes say commode as a faux sophistication

9:53 am

72 Temple Owl

h,,. must look up the etymology of commode

9:53 am

origami

Good morning. Is it potty-talk day? :D

9:54 am

Flask1

So do I Molly!

9:54 am

moolingwa

apparently it stems from a french word for convenience

9:54 am

BzznBea

My first MIL went "te te"

9:54 am

72 Temple Owl

our parents were very insistent that we not use any "baby talk", so taught us to use grown up polite words.

9:54 am

hokie carla

well, if us appalachians are known for anything it's sophistication LOL

9:54 am

Flask1

Some South Africans had a huge laugh at my expense when, on a picnic in the woods, I referred to silverware. It was the cheap plastic kind which they'd call cutlery, for them silverware is silver - or at least decent stainless steel.

9:54 am

moolingwa

sounds latin

9:55 am

hokie carla

yeah, I try to call it plasticware instead because I think, wait, this isn't silver

9:55 am

moolingwa

inmead - what vikings did before going into battle. The viking crew inmead themselves over several hours prior to setting off for the village

9:55 am

player girl

Right, hokie

9:56 am

moolingwa

we call it cutlery...

9:56 am

moolingwa

not that that is any better

9:56 am

hokie carla

bea, guess my missing a from the bottom row :D

9:56 am

player girl

My parents used to say "Make a sissy" which was fine when we were really little but caused me to cringe when my father would still say it when we were grown.

9:56 am

MollyL

Except you can't really "cutler" anything with a plastic knife

9:57 am

hokie carla

cutlery sounds just a little too fancy. and ironic that it sounds fancier to me than silverware.

9:57 am

bichon

my folks too pg

9:57 am

moolingwa

hard to cutler with a spoon :)

9:57 am

BzznBea

Carla, it has to be an AT

9:57 am

bichon

are you originally from NYC?

9:58 am

player girl

Me? I origninall am from Long Island but both my parents were from the city. Why is Sissy a city word?

9:58 am

hokie carla

that was my guess. I have 6, 8, 8, 9, 6

9:59 am

BzznBea

Sorry, CArla...It is an ar4. =)

In Israel they'll say PeePee even to adults.

9:59 am

10:32 am

doseffing

... and it's not 1200 years old

10:33 am

hokie carla

you all also use a brand name, hoover, for vacuuming. interesting.

10:33 am

Deeha

true its not archaic scots!!

10:34 am

penquis

and xerox....but not every brand name becomes a generic word....

10:34 am

hokie carla

true, I was just pointing out another UK only one

10:34 am

Deeha

no strimmer isnt a brand name there are lots of makers

10:34 am

hokie carla

xerox, bandaid, kleenex all here

10:35 am

Good news, gramma - it's lovely to see all parties behaving as sensible adults (I fear I read too many advice columnists. Of course, the people who write to advice columnists are usually either dealing with people who are not sensible adults or they are not sensible adults themselves)

But honestly, have only finished twice

11:03 am

LisaG

What list?

11:04 am

hurshy

look below under Friends of Babble - Lickety's Babble Clues

11:04 am

hurshy

that can help if you don't have all day :D

11:04 am

LisaG

I have the list of squares and how many words come out of it, and then the list of how many words of each length. I try to use those, but its sometimes hard to figure out which letters go to the longer length words lol

11:05 am

hurshy

yes, you'll find lickety's list helpful

11:05 am

LisaG

I never paid attention to the links below before lol

11:06 am

hurshy

personally, i favor the printable list

11:07 am

LisaG

Due to working at home, my printer is now out of ink lol

11:07 am

hurshy

but i believe i am in the minority on that

11:07 am

Mubner

I favor the print list as well.

11:07 am

hurshy

i don't actually PRINT it, just use it on my screen

11:08 am

LisaG

gotcha! I just clicked it

11:09 am

rururocks

a lot of people start with the list right from the get go.. i like to only use it if i'm stuck towards the end.. everyone plays this game differently and that's what makes it great for everyone

11:09 am

hurshy

yeah i use it either at the end or not at all

11:10 am

hurshy

if you have limited time it is the most helpful way to finish

Did you watch Shtisel?

12:42 pm

did you read the book as well, Doren

12:42 pm

HarryHood

I couldn't get into shtisel.

12:42 pm

periwinkle

no I did not watch Shtisel. is it just as good?

12:42 pm

HarryHood

I tried the first episode and gave up

12:42 pm

HarryHood

there was a really good show called "srugim" though

12:43 pm

Dorens

I had given up on Shtisel last year but since the young woman who played Esti in Unorthodox was in it I tried it again recently and I am thoroughly addicted. Almost done with the second season

12:44 pm

HarryHood

I'll try shtisel again.

12:44 pm

I need to finish Unorthodox first

12:44 pm

Hope it gets you as it did me

12:46 pm

Oh definitely peri. Hard not to watch it all the way through I actually did it all in one night. Stayed up late, but no problam

12:46 pm

HarryHood

Yeah I had to force mys elf to go to sleep and not watch the 4th at 12:45 am

12:46 pm

periwinkle

I watched 2 episodes yesterday.

12:47 pm

Dorens

I was in Israel two years ago, so it did make watching Shtisel a bit more interesting

12:47 pm

HarryHood

I have spent alot of time there. and have much exposure to these communities

12:47 pm

Dorens

But it really is like a soap opera and once you know the characters you begin to care about them and want to check in and see what's going on. When I finish Shtisel, I'm going to Fauda Season 3. Heavy on the Israelis right now

12:48 pm

HarryHood

I watched the first few episodes of fauda, and then gave up

12:48 pm

HarryHood

too stressful

12:48 pm

HarryHood

but I highly recommend srugim

12:49 pm

Dorens

I think Unorthodox was fascinating on many levels, whether or not you can identify with them (as a nonSecular Jew, I can't identify with Satmars at all) And yes, Fauda WAS stressful

12:49 pm

Dorens

I'll try it Harry, thanks

Excellent film on Netflix.....based on book/true story

3:38 pm

player girl

I watched Shtisel when it came out here (I understand Hebrew) it was the first TV show my husband had actually watched in over 40 years. He still giggles at "Rashaim Arurim" which means Cursed Bad Guys but Shtisel's brother used it all the time. I also watched Srugim and Unorthodox. I like the Unorthodox film much better than her original memoire. I felt it was more even handed.

3:38 pm

player girl

What about Fauda?

3:39 pm

player girl

I am waiting for Season 3 to hit Netflix. My Hebrew reading isn't fast enough to get the Arabic so for that I do need English subtitles. They haven't put Season 3 on Netflix here in Israel. Probably too current.

3:43 pm

Fine. I am glad I don't have to stay at home all day every day. I have on of those essential jobs. Funny, though, sometimes I wish I wasn't essential! Can't win for losing I guess! I just really want to be able to go out and hear some live music at our local venues.
