morning babblers

1:55 am

grannyrose

morning dear one. how are you feeling today?

1:56 am

sprite

*hugs rose* Mwah. Still very weak and rob has decided we are moving to the camping this weekend, so lots of things to do. And a little panicky as a result.
How are you doing? Glad to be back home?

1:57 am

grannyrose

sort of glad. still in lockdown. what Rob is proposing he wouldn't be allowed to do here. at least not at this moment in the pandemic.

1:58 am

sprite

the campings are opening here, but the toilet facilities will remain closed.

1:59 am

sprite

phantoms: contest(ers) and content(er)

2:00 am

grannyrose

i am feeling very tired. and lost my appetite. can't finish a meal.

2:00 am

sprite

ugh, not good. *healing vibes to you* my dear friend

2:05 am

grannyrose

the ketamine was hell this time. i have an appointment with doc. john re the implant thingy.i'm too ,much of a coward to go through that again. it was really nasty.

2:05 am

sprite

I can imagine.

2:08 am

grannyrose

so now you have to pack up your camp site and move on. how do you feel about that? anyway that the kids can come and help? i guess not. what restrictions are you under?

2:09 am

sprite

still quite a lot of restrictions, but Tim will come and help as best as he can. We will need to stay 1.5m away from eachother, so that will be a challenge. Taking down the annex and building it back up will be the biggest task and I am hopeful the two men can do that together. I am not yet allowed to do much physically.

2:10 am

sprite

and how I feel... panicky and overtaxed, and at the same time aware that that is the exhaustion speaking and not the reality. It will work out. Won't be bad to be in the new place, that is for sure. Great view.

2:11 am

grannyrose

very hard task ahead honey. will pray specifically for this weekend for you all.

2:13 am

sprite

much appreciated :)
Things are pretty stressy right now. Anyway, I think it is a great idea you go for the implant. Even though there is a risk, but this is terrible and the implant sounds promising.

2:15 am

grannyrose

i think so too. i have the utmost trust in John, you know that. we are going to discuss if we can put it through workcover seeing as it will help with the chronic nerve pain in my knee too.

2:16 am

sprite

that would be very good.

2:16 am

grannyrose

oh and have i story to tell you. hang on while i get it down.

2:17 am

sprite

sure, am not going anywhere

2:17 am

sprite

already did quite a lot of work this morning... talked with my sponsor and two of my sponsees and sorted out two crates of stuff. Enough for now :)

2:21 am

grannyrose

unknown to me Dr John had put in the paperwork to have workcover pay for the PEA med. and i received a letter to say it had been approved. so...i lodged my paid documentation to them, and got a letter back saying not approved. so i rang my vase manager. she was confused and sort out the advice of her medical team. yes, that med. should be paid for by workcover. so i lodged the claim again. and guess what?? another letter to say not payable. i talked to her today. she is quite cross now. with the payments te4. and she is taking it up with her supervisor. really, the left hand doesn't know what the tight hand is doing in there.

2:22 am

sprite

they are truly lousy in sorting out their stuff. Am sorry you have to deal with it the whole time.

2:23 am

grannyrose

it amuses me as i didn't know that John had lodged the request, and it is such a bonus if workcover pay for it. and my case manager is trying very hard to help me. it's sort of nice to know that they are the frustrated on4 now.

2:24 am

sprite

very true :) And about freakin' time too

2:25 am

grannyrose

eek. just read what you have already done and your day just begun. slow down you hear??

2:26 am

sprite

I will! Already have. I just thought, I'd better get it done before I run out of juice.

2:26 am

sprite

rob is doing the lion's share of the work.

2:28 am

grannyrose

and how is Rob? still happy with his job? he seemed happier when he wrote his email.

2:28 am

sprite

oh yes, he is very happy that it is being definitive now, and it feels really good to be wanted and appreciated for a change. He was due.

2:29 am

grannyrose

wonderful !!

2:32 am

sprite

am off to lie down for a bit, honey. *hugs* and lots of love. To Don too. But more to you ;)

2:33 am

grannyrose

lots of love to you both, and a special hug for you sweetie. rest well.

11:28 am

origami

Looks like I will be working from home through the end of August. They just extended the campus closure order through then.

11:28 am

cybernan

mm - not caesarian, unless extremely distorted spelling of that

11:29 am

moolingwa

think american spelling nan

11:29 am

moolingwa

or alternative at least

11:29 am

bichon

yes, leave out the second vowel

11:30 am

cybernan

was on zoom with my daughter yesterday ori -- her uni is doing the entire summer session online with the exception of chem labs

11:30 am

hurshy

anyone know what the C on the RIGHT is?

11:30 am

origami

It's probably the best thing to do in light of the current situation.

11:31 am

bichon

11:31 am

cybernan

ce 5/14

11:31 am

hurshy

thanks nan

11:33 am

cybernan

yes -- now that she has everything set up for her students it is a bit easier for her. She was upset that 21 of them had cheated on the final exam for the last quarter --- probably not so much that they cheated as that they thought she would be too stupid to catch them at it!

11:34 am

origami

Wow, that is a high number of cheaters. That's awful.

11:34 am

hurshy

bad kiddens, naughty kiddens

11:36 am

cybernan

it was in one of the math courses she teaches, so that probably represents 5% of the students if it was a first year compulsory course

11:38 am

MLFAN17

ty for the a clue for the ce 8

11:38 am

cybernan

11:39 am

cybernan

11:39 am

cybernan

thought it was spelled cae though

11:40 am

moolingwa

it is in the "english" speaking world

11:40 am

moolingwa

in the american it is not

11:40 am

MLFAN17

cyber i was a bit questionable about its spelling so i googled it

11:42 am

hurshy

i think even in america we use the A a lot of the time

11:44 am

moolingwa

it is true hursh, but generally speaking the ae and oe gets contracted to just e in most cases

11:46 am

hurshy

yeah, but there are some where we still use it, like we mostly do put amoeba, not ameba (cringe at the very thought)

11:46 am

cybernan

first co 7/36 please?

11:46 am

hurshy

well, this will show if mine is the first or not

hurshy

11:49 am

MLFAN17

Sstteevvee

Thank you

1:06 pm

1:06 pm

MollyL

Why is Parker so nosy

Perhaps Tom knows, he's always peeping

1:17 pm

PastorJ

Why isn't Ru chiming in? He'll Ru the day he missed this thread!

1:17 pm

moolingwa

One could also wonder why Paul always gets Peter's valuables

1:17 pm

MollyL

Is Peter ever in? Or is he always out?

1:18 pm

moolingwa

And why were Tom, Dick and Harry singled out....

1:18 pm

lexleeanne

why is Jack always on by back?

1:19 pm

MollyL

Is Robin fat? Is that why she's round?

2:14 pm

moolingwa

tx, been a grind as you'd expect

2:15 pm

hokie carla

2:16 pm

moolingwa

ea9...and the last one is te9, though I don't have that one yet

2:17 pm

hokie carla

the 2 upper t's I'm missing - are they related to the gin mixer or the to4?

2:17 pm

moolingwa

to the to4

2:17 pm

hokie carla

yeah, seems the te9 goes with an 8 and I know how they start based on earlier clues but haven't found.

2:19 pm

moolingwa

although I guess that could be a "little" misleading

2:19 pm

hokie carla

not seeing, is little a clue since you have it in quotation?

2:20 pm

moolingwa

I seldom say things without meaning

2:20 pm

hokie carla

2:20 pm

moolingwa

to7/28 and to 8/40

2:22 pm

hokie carla

2:23 pm

hokie carla

still not seeing anything. moving on!

2:24 pm

hokie carla

2:25 pm

moolingwa

2:26 pm

hokie carla

2:27 pm

moolingwa

2:27 pm

hokie carla

uhh, moving on!

2:27 pm

moolingwa

apologies for being obtuse

2:28 pm

moolingwa

hard word to clue

2:28 pm

hokie carla

probably need to look for a different angle

2:28 pm

moolingwa

that's acute idea

2:29 pm

hokie carla

right

2:29 pm

moolingwa

well to a certain degree anyway

2:30 pm

hokie carla

well let's do a 180 here - did you finish the i's?

2:30 pm

moolingwa

perhaps try a new tangent?

2:30 pm

moolingwa

still have an i to go

2:30 pm

hokie carla

I still have 4 but not seeing them

2:31 pm

hokie carla

probably should just go to the list

2:31 pm

moolingwa

well it should be easy with 4 i's

2:31 pm

hokie carla

still have 55 total words

2:31 pm

moolingwa

2:39 pm

moolingwa

1 c for me

2:39 pm

moolingwa

might be a couple of c4s that you're missing perhaps

2:39 pm

moolingwa

or maybe you already have them...depends if you like the anagramming

2:40 pm

hokie carla

prob since I have 6 4's left and IDK where they could be.

2:40 pm

hokie carla

just found length x width - hard eye roll again

2:40 pm

moolingwa

still have 3 a's to go

2:41 pm

hokie carla

2:44 pm

hokie carla

hokie carla

I think I'm going to the list so you better work faster ;)

2:47 pm

moolingwa

hah

2:47 pm

moolingwa

still have 10 to go, 8 of them are 6+ in length soooo

2:48 pm

moolingwa

make that 9 and 7

2:49 pm

hokie carla

well, I have stumbled over the first 2 a's on the list

2:49 pm

hokie carla

and...another hard eye roll at one of the a's

2:49 pm

moolingwa

indeed

2:49 pm

moolingwa

were you lost on that one?

2:50 pm

hokie carla

lost out on a boat

2:50 pm

moolingwa

yep, was tempted to clue that one

2:51 pm

hokie carla

only 1 of the missing c's was a 4...the rest look impossible.

2:51 pm

hokie carla

and I still didn't get 2 a's, but moved on

2:57 pm

hokie carla

2:58 pm

moolingwa

3:01 pm

hokie carla

finished the c. spent way too long on a real word

3:01 pm

hokie carla

because I can't read backward

3:01 pm

moolingwa

heh

3:06 pm

HarryHood

3:29 pm

moolingwa

no french here and small makes me think tiny which is not to. just too slow. are these real words?

3:29 pm

moolingwa

sometimes used for feminine

3:29 pm

moolingwa

especially with smurfs

3:29 pm

moolingwa

the ending that is

3:30 pm

hokie carla

3:30 pm

moolingwa

yoicks, well 3 to go

4:42 pm

hokie carla

and when I say "ends like" I mean, it is the entire word except the first letter

4:42 pm

hokie carla

sorry, moo

4:43 pm

moolingwa

s'ok, probably not getting that without the clue anyway

4:43 pm

moolingwa

and I knew the starting letters anyway

4:44 pm

moolingwa

guess I should work on that 8/9 combo

4:45 pm

hokie carla

once I looked it up, I realized I should've gotten the ending, if that helps

4:45 pm

hokie carla

science-y

4:46 pm

LisaG

got the se! thanks :)

4:47 pm

zoozzoom

Nice one!

4:50 pm

penquis

hello all....can someone please clue the en 6/21?....

4:51 pm

moolingwa

sounds like a mad movie that had Brendan Fraser in it :)

4:51 pm

moolingwa

where he played a caveman who was brought forward in time

4:51 pm

zoozzoom

California live oak.

4:51 pm

moolingwa

or rather he was thawed out from some ice

4:52 pm

penquis

hmmm....

4:53 pm

moolingwa

spanish feminine ending if that helps

4:53 pm

zoozzoom

EN + first three of where you go to watch the movies + vowel.

4:53 pm

penquis

ty, zooz and mool.....found it...

4:54 pm

penquis

TITT.. ;o)

4:54 pm

moolingwa

have one c6 remaining....

4:55 pm

hokie carla

how many ce6 do you have?

4:55 pm

moolingwa

have one

4:55 pm

hokie carla

maybe the one that looks pl.

4:56 pm

hokie carla

oh, it's archaic, what a surprise

4:56 pm

moolingwa

I have the plural

4:56 pm

hokie carla

the other one is a latin pl. there is a vitamin brand of the sing.

4:56 pm

moolingwa

well the latin plural one :)

4:57 pm

penquis

the co 6 that sounds like the movie barbarian but with a vowel on the end?

4:57 pm

moolingwa

the poison? have that

4:57 pm

hokie carla

ok, then you are missing the archaic one that looks pl. but doesn't have a sing.

4:57 pm

moolingwa

never mind, found the other one

4:58 pm

hokie carla

well done!

4:58 pm

moolingwa

so now I'm just left with the te8/9

4:58 pm

hokie carla

4:59 pm

moolingwa

4:59 pm

hokie carla

think chemistry. four of something. ending is same as an is- word we have quite a bit.

5:00 pm

moolingwa

oh geez

5:00 pm

moolingwa

well was going a completely different direction with that one

5:00 pm

moolingwa

well fw with some assists at the end there thanks

5:01 pm

hokie carla

now kudos!

5:01 pm

moolingwa

well still, pretty decent showing, about 5 clues on that one, plus starting letters on a couple

5:02 pm

moolingwa

oh and the accidental one that was placed into chat..which gave me the other word as well

5:03 pm

hokie carla

5:05 pm

moolingwa

5:05 pm

moolingwa

which at least is an ordinary word too

5:05 pm

hokie carla

I guess you could say I am one

5:06 pm

LisaG

5:06 pm

moolingwa

I'm about as e9 as you can get on this planet....

5:06 pm

moolingwa

5:06 pm

moolingwa

5:07 pm

moolingwa

someone who takes pity on people? :)

5:08 pm

penquis

ugh....another TITT...ty....

5:08 pm

moolingwa

and you may want to explore adding a letter before it

5:08 pm

moolingwa

just in case

5:08 pm

moolingwa

and then you might to take that word and maybe think of the action versus the doer

5:08 pm

moolingwa

just to be thoro

5:09 pm

penquis

5:10 pm

5:59 pm

phandmd

How about you, Molly? Have you enjoyed this lovely day?

6:00 pm

hokie carla

well, my county has come up with a solution for high school graduations. drive-in movie type of ceremony at charlotte motor speedway infield. then each car drives to the finish line on the track for the processional and receive your diploma.

6:00 pm

phandmd

That is a clever idea, Carla!

6:01 pm

phandmd

Our state has decided no going back to the class room for the rest of this academic year. Not sure about any graduation decisions

6:01 pm

hokie carla

my husband & I both think it sounds awesome and wish our junior was a senior. LOL. of course there are complainers on the social media posts.

6:02 pm

phandmd

No way are you going to make everyone happy! It is too bad

6:02 pm

hokie carla

yeah, NC is not going back either

6:03 pm

periwinkle

6:23 pm

jan

No problem, though next time add a word I don't already have, if you could...

6:47 pm

MollyL

It's sad for all the seniors who will miss prom and graduation and all the traditional rites of passage. It's not a brave new world, it's a sad one.

6:48 pm

Lizlin

It'd be great if they were offered something similar in a year's time - not quite the same but it'd be a closure or rite of passage of a some sort.

6:50 pm

Lizlin

me 6/7 pls?

6:57 pm

hokie carla

a dealer in fabrics. also if you're familiar with cotton thread, sometimes it is me6ized

6:57 pm

Lizlin

Thanks :)

6:58 pm

Lizlin

I guess I should've found that as I have a similar word beginning with an a.

6:59 pm

hokie carla

yes, the A one took me a while

6:59 pm

Lizlin

Funny - I remembered that one from other grids, though I thought it might have a double m.

7:01 pm

phandmd

yippe! a 2nd tile grayed! the E 4. lol

7:02 pm

Lizlin

WTG! Good to read that you and your family are all well now, phan.

7:03 pm

phandmd

Thank you, Liz! Apparently at work all the employees, (I work in a nursing home) will have to be tested. I wonder if that includes ones that have previously been tested. It will be interesting to see if I still come up positive.

7:03 pm

Lizlin

That would be interesting.

7:04 pm

ch1212

phandmd, are you having an antibody test or the nasal swab?

7:04 pm

hokie carla

my friend that had it tested positive still after recovering. not sure if she is back at work or not. she is a speech path. at or near the hospital with like rehab patients

7:05 pm

Lizlin

Fireworks. Any clues before I go?

7:05 pm

phandmd

problem is, we are already a CoVid positive facility and if an employee tests positive, even if they are asymptomatic, they will have to be sent home for 10 days! We had a patient test who had no symptoms, test positive 30 days later!

7:05 pm

Lizlin

I guess it's possible that many people will always carry it - even if they

7:05 pm

phandmd

CH1212, When it is available, I would be happy to be tested for antibodies.

7:05 pm

Lizlin

they've recovered.

7:05 pm

phandmd

I think so too!

7:07 pm

ch1212

WOW - I did not realize it is possible to still be positive that long.

My husband and I were just tested for antibodies yesterday. We were both sick with classic COVID19 symptoms in January, but didn't go to the doctor. Our health department appreciates as many people as possible getting the antibody test so they can figure out where the virus has been, and saturation rates for the county.

7:10 pm

phandmd

Yeah. The patient went to the hospital for surgery, so he was tested and it came back positive! It is crazy! He never had much in the way of symptoms, but was positive 30 days ago.

7:10 pm

Lizlin

Have a good day everyone. Or evening if it's that time where you are :) Stay safe.

7:10 pm

ch1212

you too.

7:10 pm

phandmd

bye bye

7:14 pm

hokie carla

I want to get the antibody test when it's avail. and more accurate. I was sick in Feb. with a bad cough for a week, then I was okay for a week, and then sick again for another week. my friend is convinced I had it, even though it wasn't supposedly here yet.

7:16 pm

ch1212

hokie, ours was free through LabCorp. We just called our doctor and requested it be called in. Easy peasy!

7:19 pm

phandmd

that's cool!

7:21 pm

hokie carla

I kept seeing on local news commercials "where to get the antibody test now" but then I didn't see the local news. :D

7:23 pm

phandmd

that's annoying.

7:24 pm

ch1212

There are a number of home test kits, but there is also chatter about unreliability. We read that LabCorp would do it free with a doctor's order. Turned out that both our doctors (different clinics) offer them. My doctor uses LabCorp, so that was a bonus.

7:25 pm

ch1212

Wine on the patio is calling. Have fun! Be safe.

7:27 pm

hokie carla

good night!

7:27 pm

hokie carla

I got to 97 words left. I am thinking of ending it now...

7:32 pm

MollyL

Don't end it Phan! Don't jump! Life is worthwhile!
: D

7:34 pm

hokie carla
