7:48 am

hokie carla

we are back at the motorhome remodel, kitchen/living area this time. so I don't know if I'll finish this one today.

7:48 am

BzznBea

Carla, how is your dad oing?

7:48 am

bichon

Hi folks, ginally got our internet back

7:49 am

rururocks

bichon had your missing G bea

7:50 am

hokie carla

he's not doing well, chokes on everything he eats & drinks, won't stay in bed at night, gets up and falls. luckily my one brother lives nearby.

7:50 am

BzznBea

I'm sorry to hear that. How is your mom dealing with it all?

7:51 am

rururocks

how long did you lose your internet Bichon?

7:53 am

hokie carla

not well, she's about to lose her mind. he had a dr. appt last week and they sent a home health nurse the next day, and then she sent a speech therapist.

7:53 am

BzznBea

Does she see that as an intrusion?

7:54 am

hokie carla

no

7:55 am

BzznBea

Good. I hope she welcomes all the help she can get.

7:55 am

hokie carla

I think maybe they need a hospital bed with rails to keep him in. she can't even get him in bed anymore, my brother has to go every night.

7:56 am

rururocks

is he sleep walking?

7:57 am

BzznBea

Surely the home health nurse can help them get a bed for him.

7:57 am

hokie carla

no, his mind is just messed up with the parkinson's and he sleeps all day and then doesn't want to sleep at night

7:57 am

rururocks

oh.. i get it.. sorry to hear that

8:00 am

hokie carla

surely. I agree. the speech person thinks he needs his throat checked with a barium test.

8:01 am

hokie carla

thanks, ru. it is a horrible disease. hopefully they make some advances before my kids are old. I fear they are screwed. mr. homie's mom died of it last year and my dad has it.

8:08 am

BzznBea

Yes, Carla.

8:09 am

BzznBea

Both ca6.24

8:09 am

hokie carla

and the shakespeare is not feline related or it also starts with that, because that's all I can see now.

8:09 am

BzznBea

It is not feline related.

8:10 am

LuvWordGames

ca 6 rhymes with a small village and a shakespere character

rastapopolous

8:24 am

Aloyisius

8:24 am

hokie carla

I think it's like xerox or band-aid

8:25 am

Aloyisius

or kleenex

8:26 am

BzznBea

It is a trademark name. Also informally used as a meter for quickness

8:26 am

hokie carla

but yeah, I'd never have thought of trying it

8:29 am

rururocks

right two columns greyed out

8:30 am

Aloyisius

a famous falcon is in the grid, but not acceptable

8:30 am

rururocks

i'd never try on a sp5 again either :D

Dare we ask?

10:08 am

hurshy

see, i have a ginormous bathroom because it was built wheelchair accessible for my grandmother. so it's like the size of a bedroom. and my cat fritz decided he wanted to pounce on his sister rilla, who was in the doorway. he was on the sink, which is on the opposite wall. and he leaped the entire way across the room to land on her! i did not even know cats could leap that far.

10:09 am

BzznBea

LOL!

10:10 am

Odd word.

10:59 am

hurshy

10:59 am

hurshy

here are some more odd ones: pi6 rhymes with an f word meaning "of a limited number"

11:00 am

Scrabbler

TY

11:02 am

hurshy

and another - professional poker player erik se6

11:03 am

Scrabbler

I I don't know him.

11:03 am

hurshy

uses same letters as hanukkah top

11:04 am

Scrabbler

Got it. TY

11:05 am

cybernan

good morning all :)

11:05 am

Scrabbler

hi nan

11:05 am

cybernan

hanukkah top? Is there a clue for the rest of us?

11:06 am

cybernan

don't know any poker players either

11:06 am

hurshy

you know the little square top they spin at hanukkah

11:06 am

hurshy

dr, dr, dr, i made you out of clay...

11:08 am

hurshy

apparently what this se6 actually IS, is a large beer mug with a capacity of one liter (1.1 quarts) and often having a hinged lid.

11:11 am

hurshy

it also might sound like an si5 word for casually meander over

11:11 am

hurshy

(si5 not in this grid tho)

11:11 am

cybernan

confused -- thought the hanukka top wa a clue for the se

11:11 am

hurshy

(obviously)

11:11 am

hurshy

yes, you remove the dr and substitute the s

11:14 am

cybernan

doesn't the top end in dl? guess I don't know how to spell it.

11:15 am

cybernan

will just skip it -- losing interest in Babble with all the foreign words we keep getting

11:15 am

penquis

se + the ***s of march + al*s well that ends well... ;o)

11:15 am

hurshy

well you can spell it that way but i think for anglicization purposes they allow you to stick an E in there

11:17 am

cybernan

ty pen -- needed it spelled out -- the jewish (and welsh) words are beyond me

11:17 am

penquis

same here.....just guessed on the word....

11:17 am

hurshy

well the se6 is actually from GERMAN

11:17 am

Scrabbler

jeed

11:18 am

Scrabbler

Free clue.

11:18 am

cybernan

yeah -- darn - already had it

11:18 am

hurshy

when i read the definition i was like, oh yeah, i've seen those in movies, but i didn't know what they were called

11:19 am

hurshy

ca6 rhymes with shakespeare's danish prince

11:20 am

hurshy

sl7 = killed + ** deum

11:20 am

cybernan

and it has a def -- just when I was ready to make my own up

11:20 am

penquis

guess it's time to turn off chat....bbl ....

11:20 am

hurshy

man's skimpy bathing suit also counts, though i had thought it was a brand name

11:20 am

hurshy

oh sorry pen

11:21 am

hurshy

te6 rhymes with british admiral Horatio

11:22 am

cybernan

now that is a scottish word

11:22 am

hurshy

those are some of the ones i missed :)

11:22 am

m9f9l

Ha ha.. I just came on and saw the clue about rhyming with an f word for limited number and got stuck on "few"... It does NOT rhyme with "few". :)

11:24 am

hurshy

yeah, only limited as opposed to unlimited :)

11:26 am

cybernan

I tend to miss a lot of 4 letter words in a grid this large

11:41 am

can you put Scottish toast on your head during Hanukkah?

11:49 am

HarryHood

applesauce and sourcream seem antithetical to the scot's way of life.

11:49 am

HarryHood

you can put haggis on your head during channuka

11:50 am

cybernan

and believe it or not it is as bad as the welsh -- it is pronounced "slange ee vah"

oy! Having seen a reference to a wee dram of scotch, I could do with one. or two. Having spent way too much time on the phone dealing with corporate bullshit connected to my return to work, post surgery. sigh.

12:41 pm

cybernan

wouldn't want to be in the workforce right now -- it would take more than a wee dram

12:42 pm

gingin

I am rather apprehensive, 'nan.

12:42 pm

12:43 pm

12:43 pm

so glad my son will be working from home until 2021 at least.

12:44 pm

gingin

unfortunately, I am an Amazon slave

12:45 pm

cybernan

oh dear -- they don't have the best rep. do they

12:45 pm

gingin

on many levels, not so much. good insurance, however.

12:46 pm

cybernan

yet the company must be doing really well with everyone trying to shop online as much as possible

12:48 pm

gingin

they had forced overtime for a long while, during may and june. I am glad I missed it. Been on medical leave since december. tomorrow is my first day back.

12:49 pm

cybernan

do they mandate masks?

12:50 pm

HarryHood

wtg mool :)

12:50 pm

gingin

yes. and they now have a 3rd party disinfect crew constantly working and they fume the building every day. we have had 1 or 2 covid cases.

12:52 pm

cybernan

that's good

12:52 pm

gingin

yeah. still scary though.

12:59 pm

dianedecoder

This is an interesting conversation, as Amazon is du e to open a new warehouse quite close to where we live

1:07 pm

marksdolly

and a warehouse close to us too

1:07 pm

dianedecoder

Online retail giant Amazon.com Inc. is opening a new distribution centre in Leduc County, just south of Edmonton, with plans to create 600 full-time jobs by 2020. ... Amazon's other fulfilment facilities are located in British Columbia and Ontario.

1:10 pm

cybernan

it makes a big difference, diane -- even at the beginning of the pandemic I was still getting stuff in a week and I don't have prime.

1:10 pm

amelu0218

Yeah, we have one just across the state line in AL. About 1/2 hr drive but they deliver to us all the time and the drivers have all been wonderful.

1:12 pm

dianedecoder

I have never ordered from Amazon, but daughter has purchased a few things for me. I really like to shop locally but when something is not available, Amazon works! I have a set of nesting tables coming this Friday.

1:12 pm

cybernan

it used to take anywhere up to 2 weeks when everything was shipped from toronto

1:14 pm

cybernan

good luck with that - I haven't ordered any furniture from them. I will be interested to hear if you are pleased with the quality.

1:16 pm

amelu0218

We're pretty rural. The closest "real" shopping is 30+ miles to the east or the west, lol. Unless, like me, you tend to use the Dollar Stores and Walmart grocery pickup (I refuse to step inside that craziness).

1:16 pm

dianedecoder

Nan, I will let you know :-) The comments on this product were positive.

1:17 pm

marksdolly

rural here too, 45 miles from "real" shopping

1:19 pm

amelu0218

Family Dollar and Dollar Tree are just now moving into our abandoned Fred's store, that may be interesting. Good thing I hate shopping with a passion, lol.

1:19 pm

true story. today I testified in FAVOR of our Governor's mask mandate at a local County Commision meeting. One of my reasons is that I have a 95 year old mother. At the break, someone approached me and told me, "You know, your mother's going to die anyway soon."

10:24 pm

mixi6

not nice.

10:24 pm

harpjane

nope

10:25 pm

harpjane

I thought of lots of good retorts afterwards but it's probably best that they came to me later....

10:25 pm

mixi6

true. I hope your mother is in good health?

10:26 pm

mixi6

my mother-in-law is 89 and has issues, but still drives a car. (note to self, have her drive me somewhere)

10:31 pm

harpjane

She's in good health except for diabetes and dementia, but very pleasant

10:40 pm

mixi6

fw. night all.

10:54 pm

harpjane

is re 8 to do something again?

10:56 pm

11:04 pm

harpjane

help with the last re7 please?

11:08 pm

dianedecoder

might it re + the sp5/12 ?

11:10 pm

dianedecoder

I am always fooled by those silly past tenses.

11:12 pm

harpjane

I guess I need another sp5 then

11:15 pm

dianedecoder

probably the past tense of "naming all the letters in a word"

11:16 pm

dianedecoder

alternate past tense ;-)

11:17 pm

harpjane

yup that was it, thanks

11:20 pm

dianedecoder
