9:54 am

hurshy

the first cu5/14 the deepest

9:55 am

moolingwa

baby I know

9:57 am

MollyL

When it comes to being lucky she's cursed

9:57 am

phaeton

there is only one cu5/14...

9:58 am

hurshy

yeah, the whole thing was the clue, phae, it's song lyrics where i smushed two words together to make the cu5/14

9:58 am

MollyL

Hursh is cluing song lyrics

9:58 am

moolingwa

I thought it was a clever clue

9:58 am

MollyL

I thought it was great

9:59 am

phaeton

sorry just a little dense today

9:59 am

hurshy

it's a bagel day

10:00 am

hurshy

(cause bagels are dense)

10:00 am

MollyL

If we are going dense food, let's go chocolate

10:00 am

hurshy

chocolate isn't always dense

10:01 am

hurshy

sometimes it is light and fluffy

10:04 am

hurshy

that is why i do not get why people are so fond of bagels though, because they are just way too dense

10:05 am

hurshy

i'd always rather have a nice (english) muffin

10:06 am

hurshy

here i go, killing the chat with my overly judgmental food opinions again

10:08 am

MollyL

You are entitled to your opinions Hursh. (Bets Hursh likes scones)

10:08 am

hurshy

scones good yes

10:09 am

MollyL

I had some orange/cranberry scones a while back that were amazing.

10:10 am

hurshy

now i want to make some scones

10:11 am

moolingwa

in New Zealand we include what are called biscuits here in the US as scones

10:11 am

hurshy

yeah, i mean, the only difference between US biscuits and scones is that scones have a little sugar in the recipe

10:11 am

MollyL

Scones are much better than biscuits

10:12 am

MollyL

But I do like some biscuits and sausage gravy now and again.

10:13 am

hurshy

phantoms; embed, emeu

10:13 am

moolingwa

Of course the term biscuit is already applied to cookies, so there's that

10:13 am

hurshy

yeah

10:14 am

moolingwa

condemn as well hursh

10:14 am

hurshy

YES

10:15 am

hurshy

and denim

10:17 am

hurshy

woohoo, monkeyed a pair of um words

10:17 am

MollyL

I love the term "digestive biscuits" for graham crackers. Makes them seem medicinal.

10:17 am

moolingwa

In NZ, digestive's were a kind of graham cracker with chocolate on the bottom

10:17 am

hurshy

makes them sound like they won't taste good

10:17 am

hurshy

lol

10:17 am

amelu0218

Biscuits and mater gravy (if made well) are the bomb-diggity.

10:18 am

hurshy

bomb-diggity? nice.

10:18 am

MollyL

I've never had tomato gravy

10:19 am

MollyL

Oh it has bacon in it. I'm in.

10:20 am

moolingwa

In Philly a significant portion of the population call pasta and sauce - macaroni and gravy

10:20 am

hurshy

i'm out

10:21 am

hurshy

i know i'm weird but even before i went off meat, i never did like bacon. i like the flavor alright but the actual eating of it, the texture, idk what it is exactly...

10:21 am

amelu0218

I much prefer it over sausage gravy, lol. Yes, I add bacon, ham, bell peppers, onions, etc... it's more of a stew, I guess, but still mostly gravy.

10:22 am

hurshy

but i always disliked sausage more than i disliked bacon lol

10:23 am

hurshy

Bs Bopped!

10:23 am

MollyL

A lot of Italian people refer to red sauce as "gravy"

10:24 am

hurshy

are there any PR words?

10:25 am

dan2bit

I don't have any, but still missing 5 from that P

10:25 am

MollyL

10:26 am

HarryHood

hebrew plural of an ancient coin

10:26 am

hurshy

dang, i was expecting that one to be a no

10:26 am

MollyL

I had to look that one up Harry

10:27 am

hurshy

ugh, that sounds like the most egregious of coin word inclusions then

10:27 am

HarryHood

my daughter made pancakes....they taste like baking powder.....but good with coffee anyway

10:27 am

HarryHood

she loves to cook, but as much as I love her, she's just not that good at it.

10:27 am

MollyL

You are a good Dad to suffer in silence. : D

10:29 am

HarryHood

does an electronic cigarette make an ebutt?

10:29 am

HarryHood

cause I can't fgure out that bottom E.

10:29 am

HarryHood

or would a khardashian robot have an ebutt?

10:29 am

MollyL

I hear you can buy some ebutt on the porno version of eBay

10:29 am

dan2bit

e + fix a rip

10:30 am

HarryHood

ty dan :)

10:30 am

10:32 am

hurshy

10:33 am

hurshy

phantom: rustic

10:34 am

MollyL

I feeel bad for a lot of folks. Graduates who didn't get graduations (or proms), people who have had to postpone weddings, new grandparents who can't get their hands on their new grandbabies (our Matty)

10:36 am

hurshy

that S sure is hard

10:36 am

HarryHood

oh! that co is twisty

10:36 am

dan2bit

if everybody took it seriously for 6-8 weeks, we'd be able to do what NZ has done. But we have too many people convinced that they don't have to change their behavior just because it would help others

10:39 am

HarryHood

I'm "attending" yet another zoom wedding on Sunday. I've already been to a few zoom funerals, 2 zoom bat mitzvahs and this will be my second zoom wedding.

10:40 am

hurshy

wow, i suddenly feel incredibly friendless, i haven't had any of those things! lol

10:40 am

HarryHood

alot of it is through my kids.

10:40 am

HarryHood

this wedding on sunday is my cousin's child

10:41 am

MollyL

I'm sad that people are having to celebrate those things via zoom

10:41 am

hurshy

guess the weddings are cheaper with no food to provide :D

10:41 am

moolingwa

I did my 50th birthday by zoom

10:41 am

moolingwa

On the plus side, I was able to have friends and family from around the world

10:41 am

HarryHood

and I feel guilty so I still send a gift...they end up doing pretty well.

10:42 am

MollyL

No food, no dancing, no cake, sniff

10:42 am

HarryHood

heppy bday mool

10:42 am

moolingwa

Oh, it was like 6 weeks ago :)

10:42 am

hurshy

now why didn't i think of a zoom birthday party? all i did was wear a dress and get myself sushi and fruit salad for lunch

10:43 am

HarryHood

oh dear hurshy that just sounds so sad. though I generally just have a beer for my birthday. on second thought that's what I do when it's not my birthday too.

10:43 am

hurshy

phantom: stupor

10:44 am

MollyL

*High fives Harry*

10:44 am

hurshy

i've only had like 3 really good birthdays

10:44 am

moolingwa

Sounds like a good practice HH

10:44 am

ch1212

I did my 60th birthday as a 'virtual party' on Facebook. Well, three of my older friends arrived on my doorstep with wine and presents, saying "Your invite didn't say what time the virtual party was starting, so we hope we didn't miss it!" lololol!

10:45 am

amelu0218

thankfully, this happened at a time in history when we are still able to be in contact with others by phoning, messaging and visuals via various apps.

10:45 am

HarryHood

that's sweet ch

10:45 am

MollyL

It's amazing how we all have different ways of celebrating. Wearing a dress and eating sushi and fruit salad sounds like my idea of a punishment. : D

10:45 am

HarryHood

I could go for some fruit salad.

10:45 am

hurshy

ok, i know a lot of people don't like sushi, but how can you not like fruit salad??

10:46 am

HarryHood

I just hate when it has bananas and they get brown.

10:46 am

moolingwa

Yeah, I'd do the fruit salad...not a fish eater though, sushi or otherwise

10:46 am

amelu0218

With ya on that one, Molly, lol

10:46 am

hurshy

yes, bananas should only be added at the time of serving

10:46 am

moolingwa

Passionfruit if you can get it

10:46 am

hurshy

mine had kiwi, mango, strawberries, and blueberries

10:47 am

HarryHood

wow you guys are fancy.

10:47 am

HarryHood

apples peaches and melon, maybe blueberries if they're in season.

10:47 am

MollyL

Hursh, I hate to break it to you, but I'm not a big cat lover either. *Gets the smelling salts for Hursh*

10:48 am

HarryHood

OK gotta go get stuff done. Been lovely - later!

10:49 am

hurshy

the biggest mistake people make with fruit salad is to put any kind of oranges in. they just overpower all the other flavors.

10:49 am

moolingwa

If it's any consolation I made pizza for dinner last night

10:50 am

MollyL

Consolation for what?

10:50 am

amelu0218

detailed toppings, mool, detailed toppings! lol

10:50 am

hurshy

i don't use apples either, because while i love apples, i don't feel that they fit with many tropical fruits and berries and stuff

10:50 am

moolingwa

artichoke, black olives, bell pepper, cherry tomato and some salami

10:50 am

cybernan

good morning all - another scorcher today

10:50 am

hurshy

i wish i could just find ONE more S word before listing

10:51 am

moolingwa

hey nan, happy friday

10:51 am

moolingwa

how about something you receive to offset the meal and expense costs while working hursh?

10:52 am

hurshy

yay, thank you moo!!

10:52 am

amelu0218

oh, yum! that sounds like a great combo! Will have to give it a whirl! (note to self, write it down)

10:52 am

moolingwa

Also use fresh spinach a lot, but didn't have any

10:54 am

moolingwa

if you're getting the artichoke out of the fridge, doesn't hurt to bring it to room temp first, and also good idea to drain it to avoid soggy pizza

10:54 am

amelu0218

white or red sauce?

10:54 am

moolingwa

likewise cherry tomato can help in that regard

10:54 am

moolingwa

used red sauce for that one

10:54 am

moolingwa

sometimes will do pesto instead

10:54 am

moolingwa

Naan bread works great for experimental pizzas

10:55 am

hurshy

i made pizza on some garlic naan and that was yummy for a base

10:55 am

hurshy

jinx, moo!

10:55 am

amelu0218

and season to taste... I like and it's been AGEs since I made pizza, lol.

10:55 am

moolingwa

Yeah, naan is great, you can even do it on the bbq

10:56 am

jwr

Hello hello hello

10:56 am

moolingwa

Grilled zucchini, japanese eggplant and bell pepper with fresh mozzarella on pesto on the naan...grill it up

10:56 am

hurshy

yeah that sounds great

10:56 am

moolingwa

Just grill the veg first, and then add to your naan

10:57 am

moolingwa

the japanese eggplant has a little more flavor than the regular, if you can find it

10:57 am

moolingwa

if you don't want to grill, you can also do it in oven

10:58 am

jwr

I can't believe it. It's working. I've been using Lickety to keep track (owe him lots of thanks) and hoping Dr. God would be able to recreate the rest of his universe, Now that I know you're all here, I

10:59 am

jwr

'm going out for some fresh air.

10:59 am

moolingwa

I knew I should've showered first

11:00 am

jwr

oh dear. Now I've gone invisible....

11:01 am

hurshy

11:04 am

amelu0218

11:43 am

moolingwa

same ending

11:43 am

M3

no hun

11:43 am

moolingwa

ah, let me think then

11:44 am

hokie carla

I know he was at alcatraz and I know who it was but my mind is a complete blank LOL

11:44 am

hokie carla

but I did find de6/27 while looking, so thanks, M3

11:44 am

moolingwa

Think it was Deniro that portrayed him the movie

11:45 am

hokie carla

ok, now I rem.

11:45 am

hokie carla

not because of de niro, but it just came to me

11:45 am

moolingwa

Okay, well it has a 4 letter word as it's ending, which is also in the grid...but it's not a word that you've probably heard of outside of word games

11:45 am

moolingwa

cool hoke

11:46 am

mixi6

ty mool

11:46 am

moolingwa

yw mix

11:46 am

hokie carla

sometimes the word is preceded by corn

11:47 am

hokie carla

the 4, not the de6

11:47 am

moolingwa

well, there you go, learned something new

11:48 am

hokie carla

the 4 is a type of bread, just learned the de6 is like a law thing

11:48 am

moolingwa

so you take away bread from someone and you de6 ;)

11:48 am

hokie carla

yeah, very odd word any way you look at it

11:49 am

moolingwa

yeah, when you prepend corn it says it means rustic or unsophisticated, so I guess it was a basic bread

11:50 am

moolingwa

sorry M3, not sure we're helping you much here

11:50 am

M3

its ok ill keep looking :)

11:50 am

hokie carla

yeah, it's another name for cornbread in appalachia. source: grew up in appalachia.

11:50 am

M3

ahhhh got it ty folks#

11:51 am

hokie carla

I'm sure we've succeeded in cornfusing her greatly

11:51 am

moolingwa

yay M3

11:51 am

hokie carla

but de6 is a new one to me

11:51 am

moolingwa

11:57 am

moolingwa

oh duh

11:57 am

moolingwa

especially given our bread convo before

11:58 am

hokie carla

12:19 pm

hokie carla

LOL, I always miss "men" words and they are so arbitrary

12:20 pm

cybernan

lol - if only it was just the words that are abitrary and not the men themselves :)

12:22 pm

hokie carla

just got to the u and a little stumped, are these regular words?

12:23 pm

hokie carla

12:24 pm

cybernan

need the mu 6/27 and the pr and pt 6's -- help please?

12:25 pm

hokie carla

if the pt6 isn't a regular babblet I probably won't get it. looking for the others now

12:26 pm

hokie carla

12:26 pm

cybernan

found the pr -- not many places to go on that one

12:27 pm

hokie carla

12:27 pm

cybernan

12:29 pm

origami

You're on the right track, hokie.

12:29 pm

cybernan

the mu 6/27 comes from the 2nd col. m -- but no luck yet

12:30 pm

cybernan

keep trying mucous too

12:30 pm

Uneaixoise

Yw :-)

12:31 pm

penquis

12:31 pm

origami

Lose the last u. It ends in a vowel

12:32 pm

MollyL

The mu is a Latin plural, I think

12:32 pm

cybernan

found it - ty - wish I spoke spanish

12:32 pm

hokie carla

whew, finally. thanks, village

12:32 pm

hokie carla

I am surprised you know that song, nan

12:34 pm

origami

Great. Now I have YMCA on an endless look in my mind.

12:34 pm

MollyL

And score! Nan knows The Village People

12:34 pm

cybernan

nah - I want to be the cop

12:34 pm

*loop

12:34 pm

MollyL

She's holding back on us, I think. Nan is probably a secret grunge band follower.

12:36 pm

cybernan

my kids were in their teens in those days, carla

12:36 pm

hokie carla

I thought they were closer to my age

12:37 pm

cybernan

they range in age from 49 to 54

12:37 pm

hokie carla

ah, so the youngest is closer

12:38 pm

cybernan

yes

12:39 pm

hokie carla

village people were late 70s I think, but YMCA has been played at every sporting event ever since

12:40 pm

cybernan

they were certainly in the 70's

12:40 pm

hokie carla

so I am glad that you actually got the reference ;)

12:41 pm

HarryHood

mmbop is in the grid too - a bow to the 90s

12:41 pm

hokie carla

wonder what those kids are up to

12:41 pm

cybernan

ok - need to stop procrastinating and get out the mop -- hagd everyone and stay safe

12:41 pm

HarryHood

and apologies in advance for putting that in your head

12:41 pm

hokie carla

LOL, I am singing it now! not a horrible song.

12:43 pm

Judi

Hiyas, kiddos. We also have a Disney elephant in the grid.

12:43 pm

hokie carla

well, I finally made it through. still have 5 tiles I did not reach halfway on. ugh. 58 left.

12:43 pm

hokie carla

huya judi, I tried dumbo and dumbos just in case

12:47 pm

Judi

Bah . Another annoying grid. I'm out.

12:47 pm

MollyL

Judi, red alert, Peri did massive laundry this morning, including sheets.

12:48 pm

MollyL

Harry, I have a friend who really loves her girls. I say this because she took them to a Hanson concert.

12:48 pm

HarryHood

I love my kids, but not that much.

12:50 pm

hokie carla

cosip - 2 people sharing a drink

12:50 pm

MollyL

I agree Harry. There are limits.

12:51 pm

MollyL

I paid a friend to take one of mine to a White Zombie concert.

12:51 pm

hokie carla

I think my parents took me to see the Oak Ridge Boys, not because I wanted to but because they did and just took me along.

12:51 pm

HarryHood

I've told my wife that I will under no circumstances go to disney.

12:51 pm

HarryHood

She can take them if she feels they're deprived.

12:52 pm

MollyL

I lucked out. Grandma took my kids to Disney.

12:52 pm

hokie carla

aww, I love Disney. that's actually one of our favorite campgrounds too. the youngest goes in the parks with me but the oldest and mr. homie mostly stay at the camper.

12:52 pm

hokie carla

I love Disney more than my kids.

12:52 pm

HarryHood

I would stay with Mr. Homie.

12:53 pm

MollyL

Me too, especially if beer is involved.

12:53 pm

hokie carla

there's definitely beer involved

12:53 pm

HarryHood

hah. party at the homie's camper

12:53 pm

hokie carla

with him, not me

12:53 pm

MollyL

Bring your guitar Harry

12:54 pm

HarryHood

no lines no waiting no princesses

12:54 pm

hokie carla

luckily I have boys, so there were never princesses.

12:55 pm

MollyL

No rides that involve listening to "It's A Small World After All"

12:55 pm

hokie carla

true story, the oldest waited in a fairly long line for Baymax when he was like 15

12:55 pm

HarryHood

is baymax part of disney where baywatch girls are dressed up with fairy wings?

12:56 pm

MollyL

*Lives in a cave* I had to look Baymax up

12:56 pm

hokie carla

baymax is from Big Hero 6

12:56 pm

HarryHood

carla, that clue does nothing for me.

12:56 pm

MollyL

I am unfamiliar with anything Disney that came along after my kids outgrew Disney

12:57 pm

hokie carla

it's actually a good movie. spoiler alert, the main character's parents die. that's not really a spoiler because it happens in literally ever disney movie.

12:57 pm

hokie carla

well, harry, you should watch Big Hero 6, I think you'd like it.

12:58 pm

hokie carla

Baymax is like an inflatable robot doctor

12:58 pm

HarryHood

ok - will look for it. I did enjoy some of the latest pixar movies. that one with the mexican land of the dead.

6:28 pm

grannyrose

we have found out why our numbers of positive cv-19 are going up. we are now testing all inmates of aged care facilities and their staff, no exceptions. huge numbers. whole aged care facilities are being emptied into hospitals for better care.

6:30 pm

grannyrose

the waiting is almost the worst part. i truly empathise. i nearly chewed all my nails off.

6:30 pm

72 Temple Owl

good, as long as they do not send them back there to convalesce. that caused deaths here

6:31 pm

grannyrose

no. the plan is too keep them all 'locked down' in the hospital ward until all are well again.meanwhile the facilities are being deep cleaned.

6:32 pm

periwinkle

6:37 pm

grannyrose

night TO. happy babbling

6:37 pm

72 Temple Owl

what if one is not sick or positive?

6:38 pm

It's sad. This virus seems to be wiping out the sick, elderly population.

6:41 pm

grannyrose

agreed Molly. but we are now also finding new borns with cv-19 too. it is so tragic.

6:42 pm

grannyrose

and with the 20-30 year olds not being compliant, that generation is dying too.

6:44 pm

grannyrose

that really doesn't leave a lot of fertile people to raise the next generation .

6:46 pm

MollyL

All due respect to all those comments, I'm not ready to believe that this is the end of everything.

6:49 pm

grannyrose

i pray it is not, too Molly. but the figures are mind-blowing. i'm not sure but i think we have passed the numbers form the Spanish flu pandemic in the early 1900's.

6:53 pm

MollyL

We human beings have an amazing resiliency. And I think that has to do with our capacity for hope and belief. This is the time for the collective soul to believe in the best.

6:54 pm

MollyL

Negative, doom and gloom vibes about what is going on don't really do any of us any good. Enough of my thoughts on this.

6:57 pm

grannyrose

thanx Molly. i acknowledge i was more than just a litle negative. it is the first time i have tried to put my thoughts on this virus into words. we must persevere through this. you are so right. and hope is one of the greatest ways to overcome despair.

6:58 pm

MollyL

That's okay. It's a hard thing to work through.

Rose - You got to stop watching the 11am media address by Dan. Yes it is depressing and at the moment never ending down here in Victoria but it will if we can ALL do the right thing. PS Spanish Flu killed some 50 million and at 674 thousand for Covid (all worldwide) obviously doctors and scientists have made huge progress over the years and we all trust they will find a cure /vaccine for this one in the not too distant future.

*wry grin* stopped watching Dan the man weeks ago. found it too hard . and thanx for the number crunch. i was wondering. btw i'm starting back with my psychologist hopefully next week. this last lock down has brought me dangerously low.

At least other countries have leaders that care about the people. The United States has to put with a leader who only thinks about himself and his poll numbers.

All we can do is stay safe Rose...and both of us can be grateful we are in comfortable homes with gardens we can go out into as many haven't got those luxuries. I assume you are doing things through your church? Like making masks! Anyhow, keep safe.

jpc, my prayers have not stopped for the citizens of the USofA. it's been so tough watching all the shenanigans going on. i am a newly rcognised empath. which explains why i truly deeply feel others emotions.

Bye all

lyn, would you believe i am still cooking for the community? the only thing i can do is make soups which can be froze. under strict controls these are being given to those in the community who cannot fend for themselves. at least i know i may have stopped someone's hunger, if only for a little while.
