Wow..... January New Yorker is nearly totally devoted to "The Plague Year"......40 pages

7:34 am

rururocks

i see they figured out your petulia clarke bomber une

7:35 am

BzznBea

Snap!

7:35 am

BzznBea

Do they know why he did it?

7:35 am

rururocks

they suspect something to do with ATT

7:36 am

Uneaixoise

Yep....but still trying to figure out why he did it.....

7:36 am

BzznBea

They must have really ticked him off.

7:36 am

Uneaixoise

Did lots of damage to ATT,....

7:37 am

rururocks

they charged too much for his HBO max package

7:38 am

Uneaixoise

Petula Clark, ru...... loved her "back in the day"

7:38 am

rururocks

I'm just glad no one was seriously hurt

7:39 am

Uneaixoise

Amazing that the damage was to bldgs and not people!

7:40 am

Uneaixoise

And once again the bomber is "quiet and kept to himself"

7:40 am

rururocks

yeah.. but that describes anyone today

7:41 am

Uneaixoise

I guess, kinda sorta

7:41 am

rururocks

7:42 am

Uneaixoise

Thanks!

7:42 am

MollyL

And all these famous criminals and mass murderers are always referred to with three names. My sister's old boyfriend made her swear that if he was ever arrested as a serial killer that she would tell the police his middle name was Fuckface.

welki

hi, babblers

8:21 am

Scrabbler

Hi welki!

8:21 am

BzznBea

Good morning, ladies.

8:22 am

Scrabbler

Hi Bea. How is Mom?

8:22 am

BzznBea

She is okay. Really tired. Slept most of the day.

8:23 am

welki

it'll take some time for her to come around, i'd guess. she took a heckuva big hit of stress - that, along with the pain, probably knocked her out for at least a couple of weeks

8:24 am

welki

i'm glad she's okay, though - scary, the whole scenario was scary

8:24 am

BzznBea

Yes, I think so too. And she hasn't been sleeping well she says.

8:24 am

BzznBea

Thank you, welki.

8:24 am

Scrabbler

Keep her happy and comfortable.

8:26 am

welki

we got news last night that my son in law's sister and husband are positive - she's in the hospital (hopefully discharged today or tomorrow) and he's been temporarily placed in a nursing home (until she's able to care for him again - he's elderly and needs constant care)

8:26 am

Scrabbler

Oh, boy. In the last few weeks I have known more infected people. The virus is widespread.

8:27 am

BzznBea

If he is in a nursing home, then maybe he will get the vaccine.

8:27 am

welki

my son in law had to help with the transport - he took mega-precautions, but now he's on edge, too

8:27 am

BzznBea

Scrabs, do think it is due to more testing or due to the Thanksgiving travel?

8:30 am

Scrabbler

People are spreading the virus very well. Thanksgiving started the big spread.

8:31 am

Scrabbler

In my office I hear parents and kids telling me about their plans to visit relatives.

8:32 am

BzznBea

My daughter is a home hospice nurse. She was dumbfounded by the number of her patients that went to family for Thanksgiving.

8:32 am

welki

i have neighbors who threw a house party on christmas - all unrelated, and two have already had covid! mid-january should be interesting

8:33 am

Scrabbler

January is going to be a sad month.

8:34 am

BzznBea

We usually have our grandsons over Christmas break. By Jan. 8, they will have been isolated for alost three weeks. We are planning on seeing them at that time.

8:34 am

welki

i get so angry - my husband and i have spent the last months, like so many others, being so careful, only to see people blatantly break protocol. i know i can't control anyone else's actions, but it ticks me off that i've been living like a friggin' hermit only to see these people take such insane risks

8:34 am

Scrabbler

A two week isolation is smart.

8:35 am

Scrabbler

Agreed, welki.

8:35 am

Scrabbler

Agreed, welki.

8:35 am

BzznBea

I hear you, welki.

8:35 am

welki

we're not allowed any social gatherings here, either inside or out, until mid-january at the earliest. can only be with members of immediate household

8:36 am

HarryHood

ntpn: pres candidate fritz (with geraldine ferraro!)

8:36 am

Scrabbler

I was on call this weekend and a mother called me Saturday about her daughter that became ill in the morning with fever and fayigue. BUT they went to her parents' home to exchange Xmas gifts. "We're scare to death about that COVID." Too late.

8:36 am

BzznBea

Ive been hearing people who say they won't get the vaccine because they don't want their dna messed with or they don't believe it is actually going to work.

8:37 am

Scrabbler

Mondale!

8:37 am

swmbo

d

8:37 am

HarryHood

hooray!

8:38 am

welki

how'd you keep from punching her in the throat, scrabs?

8:39 am

HarryHood

we are going remote the week after New Years, and all faculty and students need a negative test before returning the following week

8:39 am

Scrabbler

Sorry about the typos. I was fuming as she spoke to me. I told her that she should be very concerned about COVID and to get her daughter tested because, if positive, the family members are at high risk.

8:39 am

welki

i'm pretty sure that, at some point, i'd lose it, scrabs. there would be headlines in the paper about it.

8:40 am

Scrabbler

I do want to smack people in the office that have loose masks, revealed noses, bandanas, or neck gaiters.

8:41 am

BzznBea

Harry, my daughter that was teaching remotely in Kansas has moved to Minnesota. Her school district let her finish out this school year from MN.

8:41 am

HarryHood

can't you just ask them to leave?

8:41 am

HarryHood

wow bea - amazing that she can do that. it's so mind boggling that my students can zoom to my classes from all over.

8:42 am

Scrabbler

We give them an effective mask. I focus on their safety. Some people get angry. There are so many ignorant folks, so many science deniers.

8:42 am

welki

the plan makes no sense to me, harry - what good is a negative test that was taken a week before you return to school?

8:42 am

BzznBea

And my granddaughter will finish her year remotely with the KS school.

8:42 am

HarryHood

we need to be home by Friday evening 1/1. Then we all get tested the following Thursday, and if negative, come to school on Monday. We all agree to follow protocols

8:42 am

Scrabbler

Agreed, welki. And the rapid tests are most reliable for SICK people, not as screening of well people. The false negative rate is 18% for well people being screened.

8:43 am

HarryHood

We've had no positives in our school community yet.

8:43 am

Scrabbler

Good.

8:43 am

HarryHood

And all tests must be PCR, not rapid antigen

8:43 am

HarryHood

where did they move in MN?

8:43 am

origami

Good morning

8:44 am

Scrabbler

Good, HArry.

8:44 am

BzznBea

Mankato.

8:44 am

BzznBea

Morning, ori

8:44 am

HarryHood

sounds cold.

8:44 am

HarryHood

hi origami

8:44 am

welki

could work if the folks you work with (and their families) are honorable folks and really, really, really follow protocol. unfortunately (for me), i have little faith in human beings doing the right thing these days

8:45 am

BzznBea

Yes, it is. My daughter doesn't like cold.

8:46 am

HarryHood

people for the most part have been following rules, staying in their pods, etc. There have been some violations, but there are always snitches, and then the ppl are not allowed back until a quarantine.

8:47 am

HarryHood

I don't pretend it's perfect - we will have cases and we'll probably have to shut down. but it's been a blessing to be able to give the kids 4 months of in-person school.

8:48 am

welki

i'd be proud of the way your school has handled this colossal mess

8:48 am

Scrabbler

Hi origami

8:48 am

funhs

sissies

8:48 am

HarryHood

remote teaching is such a drag - we're very fortunate.

8:48 am

welki

hi ori - missed you coming in (i was busy ranting :)

8:50 am

origami

We're on mandatory stay-at-home orders here with no end in sight. But people are still having gatherings.

8:50 am

welki

considering there are only two s and one i in the grid, my reply can only be - asshole.

8:50 am

Scrabbler

Hahaha.

8:51 am

Ha, welki :D

9:08 am

9:09 am

hokie carla

still 72 left here. we've had a string of difficult grids or I have gotten worse instead of better at this game.

12:31 pm

cybernan

29 left and just about through the list - quitting after this, there must be something less frustrating to do.

12:32 pm

hokie carla

I'm going to go work on the oldest's bedroom so I can turn it into a storage room :D

12:34 pm

hokie carla

but that may be just as frustrating as this

12:38 pm

cybernan

lol carla -- if it is anything like any of my kids' rooms it is already a storage room

12:39 pm

cybernan

tired of this -- think I will leave it for now

12:43 pm

hokie carla

it is, but I want to organize it to put more stuff in

12:49 pm

12:52 pm

HarryHood

I've found exactly 1 word since my return. so the cookies and coffee have not helped :)

12:56 pm

shoveling snow is great - it's so nice to look out afterward and see your accomplishment.

1:04 pm

For those of you who are not math nerds, PEMDAS stands for Parentheses, Mutiply/Divide, Addition/Subtraction. MDAS is Multiply, Divide, Add, Subtract = My Dear Aunt Sally

3:47 pm

gramma

It's a babblet

3:49 pm

3:51 pm

3:51 pm

mkg

Oh gee just got it! Funny. And a word i have not seen before.

3:51 pm

Kamanjah

I need help with the Da7,36 - I can't even find it in morewords.

3:51 pm

mkg

Thanks.

3:52 pm

mkg

The el 4 is a hebrew word as well for that same animal which is in israel.

3:52 pm

mkg

Sorry dont have da 7

3:53 pm

Gillie

I found it in morewords. It starts with a sauce made of lentils and spices, followed by a vowel, followed by the first three letters of a small body of water.

3:53 pm

cosdem

thanks gillie good ckue

3:55 pm

mkg

Great clue! Got it. But isnt the sauce spelled with dh as first letters?

3:56 pm

Kamanjah

Got it, thanks. I goofed on the letter exclusions on morewords.

3:57 pm

cosdem

wordsthatstartwith.org is much easier than MW

4:25 pm

cosdem

ilea

4:27 pm

MollyL

Yes, that is a word. Go to the head of the class.

4:28 pm

cosdem

sad thing is I had it already lol

4:52 pm

Freeman

un8, please?

4:59 pm

lynxxx

it is actually ud8.55 - it measures things

4:59 pm

MollyL

Ends in a unit of measurement that the US does NOT use

4:59 pm

jbp

thanks lynxxx

4:59 pm

Freeman

thanks

4:59 pm

Gillie

Spelled as it only is in the US.

5:00 pm

Gillie

(the unit of measurement, that is)

5:04 pm

MollyL

Which is interesting because the word is defined as an archaic term

5:05 pm

Gillie

I'm talking about the last part of it that you mentioned, not the complete word. That spelling is used elsewhere for instruments of measurement, but not for the unit of measurement.

5:08 pm

jbp

may I have a clue for the top Right O

5:09 pm

Gillie

An alternate spelling for a water bird (ou5/12)

5:09 pm

lynxxx

ou5.12 like the end of the carnival ride that go arounbd and around

5:09 pm

jbp

6:19 pm

penquis

6:19 pm

Lizlin

Is everyone finding this grid difficult?

6:19 pm

penquis

yes, it's hard...

6:20 pm

hokie carla

incredibly difficult, lizlin. went to list with 60 left and have looked up quite a few. still 31 left.

6:20 pm

Lizlin

I know what a moose looks like but that whole concept is way past me.

6:21 pm

Lizlin

I also went to the list round about 50 or 60. Up to the p's now and have 45 left still :(

6:21 pm

penquis

she just talked about ways to make life more positive...

6:21 pm

Lizlin

I think morewords will be really helpful today.

6:21 pm

Lizlin

I'll use morewords to be more positive about this grid :)

6:23 pm

Lizlin

I only have 7 x 7 letter words :(

6:23 pm

hokie carla

I literally never see na6 on my own

6:23 pm

cosdem

6:45 pm

hokie carla

6:45 pm

hokie carla

I use bestwordlist .com

6:46 pm

Lizlin

I agree. I always feel better when most of the words I look up seem unfamiliar to me.

6:46 pm

Lizlin

I don't know that site.

6:46 pm

hokie carla

I can only think of one time I found a word I had looked up. LOL
