BzznBea

Good morming, lindy. How did you survive the no heat last night?

7:05 am

aslindy

I was warm enough. We have the furnace's fan on, so it' stayed 62 degrees, apparently that's the temp of the basement.

7:06 am

aslindy

waiting for the repairman, who was due 6 minutes ago

7:06 am

BzznBea

Good morning, Scrabs.

7:15 am

Scrabbler

I don't remember the meaning but it is fun--2 same vowels, consonant, 2 same vowels

7:15 am

aslindy

thank you!

7:15 am

Scrabbler

I am also not completely awake, Bea.

7:15 am

aslindy

7:18 am

Scrabbler

I will remember that for a few hours.

7:18 am

aslindy

lol me too

7:32 am

aslindy

ugh, not an easy or cheap furnace fix. might be better to buy a new one.

7:34 am

Scrabbler

Oh, home problems are aggravating...and expensive.

7:34 am

BzznBea

I'm sorry.

7:35 am

aslindy

hokie carla

7:53 am

BzznBea

Carla!

7:54 am

hokie carla

Bea!

7:56 am

Scrabbler

Hi Carla. Come stare at the grid with us.

7:57 am

BzznBea

Scrabs, did you have Thanksgiving with your mom?

7:57 am

hokie carla

LOL, already doing some of that. I was cruising right along on the top row until I hit the S. can't figure out where 7 more might be.

7:57 am

Scrabbler

Yes, my cousins roasted the turkey and I made everything else.

7:58 am

BzznBea

I'm sure she enjoyed the company.

7:58 am

Scrabbler

One cousin, actually.

7:59 am

hokie carla

had to just talk to my mom on the phone :(

7:59 am

Scrabbler

And lots of leftovers.

7:59 am

BzznBea

Uhoh...How is she?

7:59 am

hokie carla

but luckily my brother and his family were there

8:00 am

BzznBea

For Thanksgiving..

8:00 am

hokie carla

I meant on Thanksgiving. but yesterday I talked to her and she said she could barely walk. She has osteoporosis in her back really bad.

8:01 am

BzznBea

I made turkey salad from the last of the turkey. Only thing left is some cranberry sauce.

8:01 am

Scrabbler

Ouch.

8:01 am

BzznBea

Does she use a walker?

8:01 am

hokie carla

I still have a little dressing and gravy left but that's it.

8:02 am

hokie carla

She has a quad cane and a rollator that my dad used. I think she uses the cane when she goes out to the mailbox and stuff.

8:03 am

BzznBea

My mom has been using her walker in the house more lately. Her knees have been hurting.

8:04 am

Scrabbler

My mother uses a walker and has a bad skeleton.

8:05 am

hokie carla

yeah, her knees are bad too. she recognizes things might be a little better if she could lose some weight but that's easier said than done.

8:07 am

BzznBea

Can't beleive there are that many W's in this grid.

8:08 am

hokie carla

hey bea, I'm looking at my LQS website right now - they have all kits 30% off for cyber Monday if you need any.

8:09 am

BzznBea

Send me the link. I ight not need anything now but maybe later.

8:10 am

Scrabbler

Argh, I finally passed halfway. This grid is tough. Enjoy the day.

9:30 am

hokie carla

well done, ru & aloy

9:31 am

hokie carla

I have put most of the wreaths and candles on the windows. sadly our new windows in the garage are painted shut. hopefully mr. homie can get them open.

9:33 am

BzznBea

I need to do some decorating too. But first, I need to declutter from my decluttering binge.

9:33 am

MollyL

Wow, it's way too early for Christmas decorating for me. I would be sick of it by the second week in December

9:34 am

hokie carla

now I have to wait until 5 to plug in the candles. had to move a lot of stuff out from in front of the bay window in my sewing room, so it's a mess right now.

9:34 am

BzznBea

We always put our tree up the first weekend of December.

9:35 am

BzznBea

Are your candles on a timer?

9:36 am

hokie carla

will wait until it dries out a little outside before we get our tree. have a fake tree for the living room for Hokie ornaments and a little tiny fake tree I take camping with us with ornaments from our travels. need to find a place for it since we're not going anywhere.

9:36 am

BzznBea

I've never understood the decorating tradition of a wreath and candle at every window.

9:36 am

hokie carla

yeah, bea, once you plug them in they turn on at that same time every day and then shut off after several hours.

9:37 am

BzznBea

Ours is always a real tree.

9:37 am

hokie carla

I don't know how it started, but I think it looks nice.

9:37 am

BzznBea

I bought some big candles on a timer. Wish I had more. May look on Amazon.

9:38 am

hokie carla

yeah, I had a big fake one for a while but then several years ago we started going to a tree farm in NC mountains on the way home from my parents' after Thanksgiving. Will have to just go to a lot here this year.

9:40 am

BzznBea

I put up five trees one year. Insanity!

9:40 am

hokie carla

that is crazy. :D

9:41 am

hokie carla

what do you think my missing A is from 2nd row?

9:43 am

marksdolly

dals

9:43 am

hokie carla

9:43 am

hokie carla

I'm going to guess that's the one I can't find. LOL

9:46 am

BzznBea

9:47 am

hokie carla

I think of the one I have as top level celebrities

9:48 am

mkg

9:48 am

9:48 am

hokie carla

9:49 am

BzznBea

Two bottom corners'

9:49 am

hokie carla

oh, but that's not the right A

9:50 am

marksdolly

do you have the word that starts with 2 vowels and ends in 2 vowels, w/1 const in between?

9:50 am

mkg

oops, the right bottom corner. ty. i have two of the other corner words already. ty.

9:50 am

hokie carla

no, will try that now, thx

9:50 am

BzznBea

9:50 am

marksdolly

9:51 am

BzznBea

bottom a is aa4.4

9:51 am

MollyL

Like I said, as weird as Babble gets. Yet someone commented earlier that they love when it is in the grid.

9:52 am

hokie carla

LOL

9:52 am

marksdolly

lol

9:52 am

mkg

ty bea. got it. but these others are too difficult.

9:52 am

mkg

aw is if you leave the army without permission right?

9:52 am

hokie carla

and it's a 5/10? so the consonant is a 1? seems like I've tried everything according to dolly's clue. will try all combos again.

9:52 am

BzznBea

Yes,mkg

9:53 am

mkg

wasted x. too bad.

9:53 am

mkg

ty bea

9:53 am

marksdolly

yes it's a 5/10

9:53 am

BzznBea

The one dolly clued comes from the bottom row

9:53 am

hokie carla

oh. well I need 2 from there, so that makes sense since she said pl too.

9:54 am

hokie carla

but that does change my trying things

9:54 am

mkg

carla i also dont have this one. it is al 5 correct?

9:54 am

hokie carla

ok, got those, thx all

9:54 am

hokie carla

no, mkg, it is aa5/10

9:54 am

mkg

and al 5 10?

9:55 am

BzznBea

The al5.10 comes from 2nd row A

9:55 am

mkg

i just got an al 5 10 but not sure it is correct one.

9:55 am

mkg

oooh sorry. will see if i can find it.

9:56 am

hokie carla

I just have one A left out of all the A tiles, and it's 2nd row.

9:56 am

9:57 am

mkg

9:57 am

hokie carla

9:57 am

BzznBea

9:57 am

mkg

9:58 am

hokie carla

9:58 am

mkg

9:58 am

hokie carla

shew

9:59 am

mkg

i think it is a term for a ship, that is slightly to one side

9:59 am

BzznBea

All A's grey now?

9:59 am

hokie carla

apparently means below deck

10:00 am

hokie carla

ok, next question. why doesn't british english spell it lasiest?

10:00 am

marksdolly

because it doesn't spell like we do? ;)

10:00 am

mkg

oh ty carla

10:00 am

Haz1558

What word are you talking about, carla?

10:01 am

hokie carla

no, we spell it laziest, but I didn't think they use z's

10:01 am

hokie carla

except for Haz. Haz uses z's. :D

10:01 am

Haz1558

Rubbish.

10:02 am

Haz1558

Zebra in the zoo, anyone?

10:02 am

Haz1558

We don't change chastise to chastize, however.

10:02 am

hokie carla

rubbish is one of my fave british words, too. I try to use it often.

10:02 am

hokie carla

we use chastise, don't we?

10:02 am

Haz1558

We spell laziest, laziest because it is the superlative of lazy. Simple pimple.

10:02 am

marksdolly

when I lived in Mass, they say rubbish instead of trash

10:05 am

hokie carla

I have 2 dh, does anyone have more?

10:06 am

BzznBea

no

10:07 am

mkg

nope

10:07 am

mkg

i have two also.

10:07 am

mkg

10:08 am

marksdolly

yes think of flowers Mkg

10:08 am

hokie carla

ooh, just found the 8

10:08 am

mkg

i tried that and must be spelling them wrong.

10:08 am

BzznBea

Then why do you want to know the words if you are at the list?

10:08 am

mkg

got them.

10:09 am

mkg

just went to list now bea.

10:10 am

mkg

i dont like using the list.

10:10 am

mkg

off for the day. bue.

10:10 am

mkg

bye

10:13 am

hokie carla

just need 1 P to gray out 1st column

10:14 am

BzznBea

po6.21?

10:14 am

hokie carla

from happy days?

10:15 am

BzznBea

yes

10:15 am

hokie carla

no

10:15 am

BzznBea

There are two thou

10:15 am

hokie carla

I guess ponte is a proper noun

10:16 am

hokie carla

ok, I guess it is the other then :D

10:16 am

hokie carla

nm, haha

10:16 am

hokie carla

but ponte is a knit fabric if anyone is wondering

10:18 am

BzznBea

you can plural that

10:18 am

hokie carla

yeah, that's why I was laughing at myself

10:18 am

hokie carla

1st col gray!

10:19 am

BzznBea

It is raining buckets and wind blowing hard here.

10:19 am

hokie carla

have also finally gotten half of each tile

10:19 am

BzznBea

Carla, have you seen mlf lately?

10:20 am

hokie carla

yeah, we had a lot of rain (street flooded again) this morning and it's very windy now.

10:20 am

hokie carla

I think she was here yesterday or the day before.

10:21 am

hokie carla

she has stated she is only playing for a little bit each day because the website says "not secure".

10:23 am

BzznBea

Is she talking about expert?

10:24 am

MollyL

Nope, here. This site is not secure.

10:24 am

hokie carla

no, the main site says that, but it's only an issue if you use this same password elsewhere too. we explained that but I think she is still uncomfortable.

10:24 am

BzznBea

I see. But not really...

10:25 am

hokie carla

but only playing a few minutes a day doesn't really do anything, if a hacker is stealing passwords, he/she will steal from a list of registered users, not who is actually online at the time.

10:25 am

MollyL

I'm not sure I understand the thought process. Whether you play a little or a lot, the site is not secure.

10:26 am

BzznBea

That's what I'm thinking. And why even play if you feel it is not secure?

10:26 am

Haz1558

MLfan has had a long history of being suspicious of internet security, she's had hackings etc but isn't happy to pay for antivirus etc.

10:28 am

hokie carla

getting dark out like it's about to pour

10:29 am

BzznBea

It stopped here for now.

10:29 am

hokie carla

but nothing on the radar

10:29 am

BzznBea

I need to get something done...

10:29 am

BzznBea

See you all tomorrow.

10:30 am

marksdolly

tata Bea

10:30 am

hokie carla

yep, getting back to work here. 28 left for later.

10:32 am

MollyL

We have had rain all day. It made going back to work after 4 days off even more bleak.

10:32 am

marksdolly

and we are soooo dry here

11:08 am

origami

I wish we would get some rain here. I am tired of watering!

2:39 pm

hokie carla

welki!

2:40 pm

welki

hokie!

2:42 pm

dianedecoder

Hi, welki, peri ! :-)

2:42 pm

welki

hi diane :)

2:43 pm

dianedecoder

Yes, a tricky grid and I was going to give up Babble until after Christmas but just "gave it a peek" and was drawn in ! .....again !! :-)

2:43 pm

welki

so, what do you think, diane? headed for a full lockdown? or will jason kenney wimp out?

2:44 pm

welki

why give up babble?

2:44 pm

dianedecoder

I'm not sure welki....if I saw some immediate changes in the numbers I could go with what we have now, but there are STILL some unnecessary things that could close.

2:45 pm

dianedecoder

Yah, WHY give up BABBLE ??

2:46 pm

welki

almost 3500 new cases on saturday and sunday, and alberta is "leading" the country in infections. he may have waited too long :(

2:47 pm

dianedecoder

I have two designated visitors ( daughters) because I am now alone , but I will miss the other daughter as we can't change out for now.

2:48 pm

welki

for those not in canada, alberta has a population of about 4.3 million; our numbers are disproportionate to other provinces

2:49 pm

dianedecoder

I heard those numbers and my heart sank. I have a daughter and two granddaughters in the "medical world" and two have already been re-deployed several times.

2:50 pm

dianedecoder

I know you have the same situation going on in your immediate family.

2:50 pm

welki

other than my husband going to work, we've pretty much been isolated since this all began. frustrating to hear folks saying they refuse to follow restrictions during the holidays. (and i have a daughter and son in law who are front line medical workers, but in vermont - i understand how scary it is)

2:51 pm

welki

i'm tired of it all, too, but not so tired as to put myself and others at risk

2:52 pm

welki

my father in law passed away last week, in victoria - so here we stayed. my mother in law, the same day, was transferred to a long term care facility. and a good friend is with her husband, who is dying of kidney cancer. this year has been crap.

2:52 pm

dianedecoder

We were very careful when Wally was going through his journey, and although the strict measures were in place in March, April, etc. the family visiting was still allowed. I am quite willing to just stay IN~

2:54 pm

welki

the hospital and care center were very strict about visiting, even at end of life - by the time we would have gotten there, well, you know

2:55 pm

dianedecoder

Oh welkie, that is so sad. ( I have lots of family in Victoria and they are staying home, just quick trips by one in the family going for groceries.

2:56 pm

hokie carla

yeah, when my dad died in Aug. only one person at a time was allowed in his room. it was so far from parking, my brother had to wheel my mom to the room and then go back and wait in the car for her to say she was ready to leave. I think when they put him under hospice they said he could have like 5 in the room.

2:57 pm

welki

hard to stay positive when folks around me are suffering, but like the queen song, 'the show must go on'

2:57 pm

Uneaixoise

So very sorry, Welki :-(

2:57 pm

hokie carla

and sorry about your in-laws, welki.

2:58 pm

welki

thanks. we're okay, my kids and grandkids are okay - we'll get through it

2:58 pm

welki

i remember what a struggle it was for you, hokie - shitty times

3:00 pm

welki

okay, now that i've dumped my holiday cheer in the chat, let's move on to ... what? baby goats!

3:00 pm

dianedecoder

I hink this has touched so many of us personally. We WILL get through it.

3:02 pm

hokie carla

LOL, who are you kidding, baby goats are awesome!

3:06 pm

welki

yes, yes they are :D

3:31 pm

welki

well, that was nice! diane called :)

3:31 pm

HarryHood

that's nice :) amazing to think that you screen ppl actually have voices!

3:32 pm

HarryHood

sorry to hear about your loss welki

3:33 pm

welki

thanks, harry - and yes, it's nice to put a voice to the screen "persona." in person is better, though

3:34 pm

HarryHood

someday

3:34 pm

welki

we've been geographically close a few times in the past, we'll count it as a meet :)

3:35 pm

HarryHood

:)

3:36 pm

welki

might have even run into you in queens or new brunswick (or at the doubletree!)

3:38 pm

HarryHood

I was pretty busy at the doubletree, getting married and all.....and drinking beer :)

3:38 pm

welki

me, i was eating cookies

3:38 pm

HarryHood

ooh cookies

3:39 pm

welki

time to go - have a fb sale to make in a little while

3:39 pm

HarryHood

3:39 pm
