WC? Harry, when did you move to the UK?

How is everyone holding up?
7:53 am
Scrabbler

How are you, darling? Making lots of cookies?
7:53 am
Scrabbler

Trying to dodge that pesky virus!
7:53 am
car.eeyore

Dare I say it...I have too many to make! I need to get 500 out by next Saturday and I am feeling the pressure.
7:54 am
car.eeyore

the numbers here are staggering, but they do include the Thanksgiving testing, so I have to remember that.
7:54 am
Scrabbler

Does anyone help you with cookies?
7:54 am
MollyL

Wow, the cookie business is booming. Good for you.
7:54 am
car.eeyore

Is mom ok?
7:55 am
Scrabbler

Mom is doing well. I see her weekly and fear sharing CoV with her. I am being careful.
7:56 am
car.eeyore

I hooked up with a friend from high school who has always owned bakeries, restaurants, etc. She developed an online mercantile with a small storefront for pickups. She hates making cookies, so that is now my job. I love that she keeps me busy and the steady $, but I am a one-woman show!
7:56 am
Scrabbler

Well, this is a big season, so stay busy and earn $.
7:56 am
car.eeyore

I'm too busy. Don't have time for anything else...except a few hours at the church office and some Babble here and there.
8:00 am
car.eeyore

Its probably a good thing, though. I'm really feeling the loss of both of my parents this year, as I was so busy with church seasons when each died. I think my depression would get the better of me if I didn't have so much to do.

Yes, stay busy, socialize, be productive, and talk to your parents.

As most health care professionals and first responders know, the amount of loss we are experiencing is hard. Almost every week we have someone passing at the church. Last week was a good friend of mine, so that is not helpful.

I wouold, Molly --- the word is no one other than those that reside in the home. It is only going to increase the spread --- there is no way of knowing if any of those family members are ssymptomatic. Just wait till you see the fallout from Thanksgiving.

there is no safe way to visit with friends and family because there is no way of knowing if they carry the virus or not.

Well, if outdoors and six feet away is the only "safe" way then there are plenty of places people are not safe. In the grocery store, out walking, etc.

some people are just idiots -- we have a oldtimers hockey team in our town who traveled to Alberta to play a tournament, came home with infected players and in 4 days we went from 40 some infections in the town to 84. They should be charged and fined with something.

nan, i'm no fan of jason kenney, but how can you hold him (and Alberta) responsible for a BC curling team traveling out of BC? couldn't the curlers have just made up their own minds and stayed home?
10:22 am
cybernan

not blaming him for our guys travelling against all common sense --- blaming him for the outrqageously high rate of infection in Alberta. Hospital tents for the covid patients be cause you have run out of beds -- really? -- in Alberta? --- in freezing temperatures? -- or does he think he's going to get a 3 week long chinook?

we don't have mandates? we are allowed no social gatherings, we have mask mandates, we are allowed outside activities to a maximum to 10 (distanced and masked) - so huh?

Your Jewish friends would like to share that our most important holidays, Passover, Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur were all celebrated virtuality. There were unexpected beautiful moments. It felt all the more meaningful. That Ruth Bader Ginsburg died on the eve of the New Year was so significant. 20 years ago, barely any internet, no ZOOM. Tech has this time has given us a gift if we use it.

I've been isolated but my city still allows certain salons to follow guidelines- we are rather strict here. I am also getting eye surgery today. I expect to quarantine all of January. The hair dye required a bit of self justification, but there were only 3 people in a large ventilated space.
10:33 am

Not all Jewish people. My Jewish neighbors had a houseful for Rosh Hashanah and it looks like they are getting ready for another houseful for Hanukkah
10:33 am
Kaplan the Magne

We all have areas that we rationalize, but super spreader events, and exemptions for religious gatherings is just a way of setting people up for the kill.
10:35 am
Kaplan the Magne

Well, they COULD find other means. It was quite a beautiful thing. Hanukkah is such a minor holiday that they could light candles in synchrony on AOom and make their own latkes. I hate latkes so am grateful I don't have to smell them.

Those of us that attended to guidelines would like to tell them it can be done. I don't know anyone in my community who behaved like your neighbors.

On my birthday Thanksgiving, my daughters and I synchronized watching Damn Yankees from 3 different cities. We could chat with no one complaining about interrupting. It was so much fun. My point Molly is not that every one followed guidelines, but that we have been through our major holidays during a pandemic and followed CDC recommendations, and learned a lot from the solidarity.

Don't get angry welki - I fullly realize that noe of what is going on is your fault, nor mine, and there is absolutely nothing either of us can do about it. As to Alberta crap --- I don't think so --- go on the dashboard online and look at the stats. As mor mandates -- we have been manated to stay in our household bubbles (residents only) unil Dec. 7 and it is quite likely that that will be extended. Some of the scholls in highly affected areas are going back to virtual learning, and all adult sports have been cancelled, childrens's sports restricted. And everyday we are asked not to travel outside of our community.

Policy Rationale
We remove content that glorifies violence or celebrates the suffering or humiliation of others because it may create an environment that discourages participation.

We know that people value the ability to discuss important issues like human rights abuses or acts of terrorism. We also know that people have different sensitivities with regard to graphic and violent content. For that reason, we add a warning label to especially graphic or violent content so that it is not available to people under the age of eighteen and so that people are aware of the graphic or violent nature before they click to see it.
Do not post:

I'll check the meanings....know a lot of words...know fewer meanings
2:47 pm
welki

i used an iphone 6plus until the summer, when it took a nosedive and shattered. decided on the se because it was less expensive - and because i wouldn't use the camera functions on the higher priced ones

i dropped an 8 in the lake - still works, but permanent blotch on screen
2:50 pm
72 Temple Owl

the light i here is dim. excuse typos.
2:50 pm
hokie carla

yeah, the 4 was my first iphone. before that I had a Motorola Droid, before that an LG Chocolate, before that some kind of Nokia. Not sure I ever had a flip but must have.
2:50 pm
moolingwa

yeah, my wife dropped her 8 in an indoor creek at a hotel, I went and fished it out and it still works
2:51 pm
72 Temple Owl

2:51 pm

2:51 pm
moolingwa

mkg

2:51 pm
welki

my flip phone is in that drawer in the kitchen - you know, the one with all the stuff you can't throw out?
2:51 pm
moolingwa

I had a 3+ or something, was my first iphone
2:51 pm
welki

heh, mool - actually, it was my husband who dropped mine
2:51 pm
moolingwa

I did fish it out though
2:51 pm
72 Temple Owl

no. i don't have one. if i did, it would be full of stuff i/m sure i will need once i throw it out
2:51 pm
hokie carla

I had one squirt out of my back jeans pocket into the to6 and brought it back from the dead.
2:52 pm

2:52 pm
mkg

2:52 pm
welki

eww
2:52 pm
moolingwa

that is a fear of mine
2:52 pm
hokie carla

I think a lot of people started with a 4S, which was the first one with Siri, but I only had the 4.
2:52 pm
72 Temple Owl

with the advent of 5G, the lower ones will lose more and more function.
2:53 pm
hokie carla

yeah, luckily it was here in my house and not a public bathroom.
2:53 pm
moolingwa

they have to get 5G on every block
2:53 pm
72 Temple Owl

now THERE'S a dllemma...
2:53 pm
moolingwa

has a range of only a few hundred feet, so only limited coverage for some time to come
2:53 pm
72 Temple Owl

carla
2:54 pm
welki

ok, mkg - this is the best i can do. hy10 first. like a hy**dermic needle + almost all of the green citrus fruit + the first part of the vitamin, ***cin
2:54 pm
moolingwa

at as you can imagine, there's a wide variation in performance on 5G
2:54 pm
mkg

PERFECT CLUE. GOT IT.
2:54 pm
moolingwa

the different carriers have rolled it out in different ways to claim 5G
2:54 pm
mkg

ty welki! great clue.
2:55 pm
72 Temple Owl

188 words and just now seeing hy
2:55 pm
mkg

what is 5 G? 5 gigabites?
2:55 pm
welki

hy9 = same beginning + someone who has bipolar disorder may experience this condition
2:55 pm
hokie carla

isn't that similar to how verizon did LTE instead of 4G or am I misremembering?
2:55 pm
moolingwa

tx welk, would not have stumbled on that one
2:55 pm
hokie carla

yeah, no way would've gotten that, thx
2:55 pm
moolingwa

Yeah, pretty much, but with 5G there's an even bigger disparity
2:56 pm
mkg

anyone have the top row I word or the bottom row A word? ty
2:56 pm
mkg

aphro
2:56 pm
wvteach

stats for bottom row A pls
2:56 pm
welki

not until you get the hy9 :D
2:56 pm
72 Temple Owl

so why can't we use that as a noun?
2:56 pm
moolingwa

verizon actually has the fastest 5G right now, but it's so limited where it will actually work
2:57 pm
moolingwa

top I...i4, i5 and i5 again
2:58 pm
hokie carla

bottom row a is ap5
2:58 pm
moolingwa

they say all roads lead to rome
2:58 pm
welki

5G is limited here and even the cheapest phone plans are insanely expensive
2:59 pm
hokie carla

if there was another p maybe
2:59 pm
72 Temple Owl

i don't think we pay more, it just comes. it's activated in this area.
2:59 pm
moolingwa

well yeah, perhaps all bees lead to rome too
2:59 pm
hokie carla

I haven't heard of anyone I know around here so I don't know about 5G here
3:00 pm
hokie carla

there you go..
3:02 pm
moolingwa

The ATT map says 5G in my area, but I'm skeptical...can barely get a signal outside my Wifi
3:02 pm
welki

at the lake, we have the crappiest internet, so we just bought a hub - and are ecstatic at getting LTE service at 25 mps up/down at $110/month for 1TB
3:02 pm
hokie carla

we have verizon which has dropped a lot in my house
3:03 pm
moolingwa

Our city limited the number and height of cell towers, so that may be a contributing factor
3:03 pm
hokie carla

finally found a 4!
3:03 pm
welki

we pay a lot for our internet, too. what a racket, with i'd thought of it first :)
3:03 pm
moolingwa

certainly not any geographical barriers
3:04 pm
moolingwa

yeah I get internet through my city here...fiber to the house for $50 a month, it's awesome
3:04 pm
welki

meant to be "wish" i'd thought of it first
3:04 pm
72 Temple Owl

it's ridiculous. as is everything deregulated.
3:04 pm
welki

fiber is just starting to be installed in some communities here.
3:04 pm
72 Temple Owl

like cable
3:05 pm
moolingwa

haven't had cable for years
3:05 pm
welki

fiber starts here at 99/month for 2 years and then 160/month
3:05 pm
72 Temple Owl

well, fiber is fast but limited, as after a bad storm.
3:05 pm
moolingwa

how so TO? because your fiber is on poles?
3:05 pm
welki

hahaha - cable/satellite will run you $100/month for just above basic service
3:06 pm
72 Temple Owl

time to go clean the fridge. ugh.
3:06 pm
welki

i could cancel it all, save a bunch of money, but it might mean that i actually have to talk-to-people
3:06 pm
moolingwa

I have Prime, Netflix and Hulu that's more than enough
3:06 pm
72 Temple Owl

requires electricity to run ; limited batter backup for phone
3:06 pm
moolingwa

oh Disney/Hulu...they came as a package
3:07 pm
welki

always keep a mophi charged, owl
3:07 pm
moolingwa

Ah well all routers need power...i have a $150 UPS which will keep that thing running for hours
3:07 pm
moolingwa

not that I've experienced a power outage
3:07 pm
welki

where'd hokie go?
3:07 pm
72 Temple Owl

what do you all think of time warner's announcement re HBO MAX?
3:08 pm
72 Temple Owl

moo: never?!
3:08 pm
moolingwa

It's interesting, because there's been such a resistance to cut out the cinemas
3:08 pm
moolingwa

No power outages in Colorado
3:08 pm
moolingwa

had the in Miami, but also in Miami all the power is run on poles. Here in Colorado it's underground
3:09 pm
72 Temple Owl

during Sandy, only those with copper could communicate. the same copper verizon removed so they could charge little old ladies their exorbitant rates for a phone
3:09 pm
72 Temple Owl

so it ours. but the transformers cannot be
3:09 pm
moolingwa

If you're talking landlines that's different
3:09 pm
welki

must get going - have a good weekend, folks
3:09 pm
72 Temple Owl

that's where the trouble lies, in the stations
3:09 pm
hokie carla

we have AT&T Fiber - $70/mo. has been great for years but have had outages the past 2 nights and about 3 other times in the last month.
3:09 pm
moolingwa

that's because there's enough power on a phone cable from the switch to power your handset
3:10 pm
72 Temple Owl

bye welk.
3:10 pm
moolingwa

In terms of internet, wouldn't matter what you have
3:10 pm
hokie carla

I think these construction guys nearby keep hitting it but I don't know.
3:10 pm
hokie carla

bye welki
3:10 pm
72 Temple Owl

yes, there's that
3:11 pm
72 Temple Owl

bBL, time to get working. happy babbling
3:11 pm
moolingwa

and regardless of whether you have cell or landline, it relies on the phone company having resiliency in their switches and network
3:11 pm
moolingwa

and then if your phone lines are carried on poles (as was the case for me in PA), then it can go down with the power
3:14 pm
hokie carla

we have all underground utilities
3:14 pm
hokie carla

but they are aboveground somewhere down the line
3:22 pm
moolingwa

yeah
3:22 pm
moolingwa

In Miami, the water table is only 7ft below the surface, so makes it complicated
3:22 pm
moolingwa

a lot of septic tanks, above ground utilities and no basements
3:23 pm
moolingwa

when you build a pool it's a bit more complicated
3:23 pm
hokie carla

I bet
3:23 pm
moolingwa

Not a problem in Colorado though
3:24 pm
hokie carla

we have a pool but have such a huge slope we had to get a very high retaining wall put in
3:24 pm
moolingwa

it costs about $100K to put a pull in here
3:24 pm
moolingwa

county ordinance requires heating to be put in as well...our swimming season can be somewhat short
3:25 pm
hokie carla

wow. yeah, ours was a lot but not that much
3:25 pm
moolingwa

not that I have a yard big enough to house a pool anyway
3:25 pm
hokie carla

our basement has 16' ceilings so that's how steep our yard is
3:26 pm
moolingwa

that's pretty high
3:26 pm
moolingwa

my living room has got maybe 14ft
3:26 pm
hokie carla

usually they say pools add nothing to resale but I think maybe that's changed a little during this pandemic.
3:26 pm
moolingwa

my basement I think is more like 9ft
3:27 pm
hokie carla

our living room is 2 story so I assume higher than the basement
3:27 pm
moolingwa

Ah, I only have single story...just high ceilings in the living room
3:28 pm
moolingwa

the master bedroom also has high pitched ceiling, and part of the kitchen too
3:28 pm
moolingwa

I like this house
3:29 pm
hokie carla

you are in CO now or Miami?
3:29 pm
moolingwa

The one in Miami I even considered bulldozing and starting again
3:29 pm
moolingwa

CO now
3:30 pm
hokie carla

we like this one but are ready to downsize when the youngest goes to college next year
3:30 pm
moolingwa

yeah, I've got a few years to go for that :)
3:30 pm
hokie carla

they will fly by!
3:30 pm
moolingwa

yeah, she's already halfway there
3:31 pm
moolingwa

well this board has certainly slowed down
3:31 pm
moolingwa

54 to go
3:32 pm
hokie carla

I have found a few 4's. still 8 left. 79 total.
3:32 pm
moolingwa

13 4s left
3:32 pm
moolingwa

down to 8 sevens left
3:32 pm
hokie carla

11 7s here
3:33 pm
moolingwa

trying to knock off some of these P's...have 13 of those left
3:35 pm
hokie carla

18 here
3:35 pm
moolingwa

down to 10 now
3:35 pm
moolingwa

couple of p7s that are new to me
3:36 pm
hokie carla

and you just managed to monkey them?
3:36 pm
moolingwa

Yeah, one of the things I do is just kind of look for things that might be words on letters that I have a lot left on
3:37 pm
moolingwa

so will take a prefix, and maybe apply an ending that mind me feasible
3:37 pm
moolingwa

which is the case for these two p7s
3:37 pm
hokie carla

just found the famous brothers in philly (cheese steaks)
3:38 pm
hokie carla

NTPN!
3:38 pm
moolingwa

Pat's and Geno's?
3:39 pm
hokie carla

actually, sorry, they are pittsburgh and I guess sandwiches not specific to cheesesteak
3:39 pm
moolingwa

ah...yeah less familiar with the Pittsburghian sandwiches...don't they put fries on them or something?
3:40 pm
hokie carla

I don't know, I've just heard of them, maybe seen them on Food Network
3:40 pm
hokie carla

Primanti Bros
3:40 pm
moolingwa

yeah, I've been to Pittsburgh a few times...but not for their sandwiches
3:41 pm
moolingwa

btw, that isn't the prefix I was using :)
3:42 pm
hokie carla

I have only been once, in college. went with a group of guys to see the pirates play the braves in the NLCS. and we drove all night back home. so no sandwiches for me etiher.
3:42 pm
moolingwa

I've been there with a women's hockey team, then to go see the New York Rangers play the Penguins, also been there for work
3:42 pm
hokie carla

ok, if you want to clue the prefix, that's fine
3:43 pm
hokie carla

I always wanted to try hockey but never had an opportunity
3:43 pm
moolingwa

Well only if you're really "for" me doing that...
3:44 pm
hokie carla

ok, thx. I did find a pr5, but unknown 7s would be stretching my abilities. but I will try.
3:44 pm
moolingwa

well you probably almost certainly have the remainder of the words as distinct words
3:46 pm
moolingwa

well, have broken 50
3:46 pm
hokie carla

so you are saying it is a prefix and not just those 3 letters at the beginning?
3:46 pm
hokie carla

found 1!
3:46 pm
moolingwa

those three letters at the beginning + four letter word
3:48 pm

4:30 pm
moolingwa

4:31 pm

4:40 pm
hokie carla

the clues might be more helpful before I find the words.
4:40 pm
hokie carla

but I say might because they probably won't. haha.
4:41 pm
moolingwa

heh
4:42 pm
hokie carla

hmm, another word. appears to be NSFW but that's not the real def
4:44 pm

4:55 pm
moolingwa

oh nm, was another i7
4:55 pm
moolingwa

was just missing a plural
4:56 pm
hokie carla

yeah that is my missing i. I thought I recalled someone saying there were 2 in, but I don't see it.
4:56 pm
moolingwa

there are 2 in7
4:56 pm
hokie carla

I did find a 3rd ca6 though
4:56 pm
moolingwa

one is a plural, the other is an alternate spelling of another 7
4:57 pm
hokie carla

thx, twas the plural
4:57 pm

Good evening
9:33 pm
wht

Hi Nef. How are you doing?
9:33 pm
Nef

Doing well, now. How about you?
9:34 pm
wht

Pretty well, but not excited about the heavy rain turning to snow they are predicting for us tomorrow.
9:36 pm
Nef

Where’s that? Here in MN we still don’t have snow. We had an 8” dump in mid-Oct. & a dusting last month, but none sine (& what we had has been gone for weeks).
9:37 pm
wht

I'm right outside Boston. They are saying mostly rain and only a couple of inches of snow but in Worcester they are saying 6" to a foot.
9:38 pm
Nef

Well, I know it’s not fun; but it is the season.
9:45 pm
wht

Yes, and I will take our winters over yours. We get snow but not the bone-chilling cold you get out there.
9:47 pm
Nef

LOL! I always say I moved south for the warmer climate. I started out in the NW corner of MN & got as far south as the Twin Cities; it isn’t nearly as cold (orwindy as up there).
9:48 pm
rururocks

I've been half frozen in Boston when the wind blows across the ocean in the harbor
9:50 pm

the Coldest I've ever been was in Winnepeg
9:50 pm
Nef

Hi ruru. Yes, I would think those storms off the ocean would be miserable too.
9:51 pm
Nef

How cold was it when you were there, ru?
9:51 pm
rururocks

57 below
9:52 pm
rururocks

in Boston it was 10 degrees but near the water (my hotel was there) i froze to death just trying to get in a cab
9:52 pm
rururocks

I love boston
9:53 pm
Nef

Winnepeg was about 180 miles north of my home town. I don’t remember it being much below -50 when I was growing up up there.
9:54 pm
rururocks

it was 40 something below with a wind chill factor of 57 below.. and I was trying to cross country ski with a friend .. i got frost bite
9:55 pm
wht

I am just below the crest of the first hill outside of Boston. You can see the ocean from the top of it (or you could before the started building a lot of tall buildings). We are protected a bit from the worst of the wind in the winter but we still get a sea breeze in the summer.
9:55 pm
rururocks

like near Needham?
9:55 pm
Nef

I don’t think I ever was in the actual city of Boston but I went to a 3 day wedding (once upon a time) just outside of there
9:56 pm

I am in Arlington. Just off Route 2.
9:56 pm

i went to a Red Sox game at the big green monster :D Loved it

We try to catch a game or two a year. Not this year of course, which was just as well given how bad the Sox were this year.

he's a great, great player.. they were stupid to give him up

I am glad he got to the World Series again with LA.
10:03 pm

LA is going to win it again in 2021 no doubt
10:04 pm

That'sthe problem with baseball these days--teams that prioritize bottom line over winning for fans. I understand that they prefer to spend as little as possible, but I resent that they expect us to keep spending exorbitant amounts for seats nonetheless. Not to mention beer prices 15 bucks for a beer?
10:05 pm
wht

Come to Fenway. The seats are expensive but the beer is only $10.
10:09 pm
jan

I haven't been to Fenway since 2002, when I bought 4 seats from a scalper for my parents' 50th wedding anniversary. It was a brutally cold game in May--sleet and freezing rain for three hours before gametime. I kept telling my parents that we didn't need to stay, but they insisted we stay to the very last out. It was a game Pedro Martinez threw a complete game, and then we went to Durgan Park (RIP) for their anniversary dinner. No beer was ordered at the ballpark--my parents are teetotallers.
10:10 pm

hi all. any clues for the 9 out there? or the stat? ty. cant even get half way

wht

The hy9 is not as crazy as you might think.
10:17 pm
jan

Great clue, wht!
10:20 pm
wht

The 10 is not related. It is the bottom layer of water in a lake.
10:29 pm
Nef

Thank you wht! I knew the 10 & should have been able to get the 9 from your clue.
10:33 pm
wht

I didn't know the 10, I just monkeyed around with things that seemed to go with the prefix.
10:38 pm

Lake temps here will affect the fishing
