grannyrose

WTG ANIKE!!

1:28 am

anike

I am on the list at my GP to have my shot and I assume it will be the same.

1:38 am

grannyrose

yes anike. all over 50's are receiving the astra-zeneca. it's very strange how it is affecting younger people particularly females. but on thinking about it, i realised most females under 50 will still be taking some form of birth control i.e. the pill which does have as a major side effect of blood clots.

1:39 am

joym999

I'm getting my second shot of Moderna on Weds and I'm a little nervous since a lot of people get sick after the second Moderna shot.

Judi

Brought to you by the makers of Soilent Green.

7:48 am

7:48 am

Judi

Good morning, you crazy kids.

7:48 am

hokie carla

hey judi

7:48 am

mattygroves

A Boy Named Sue? ;)

7:48 am

hokie carla

7:48 am

mattygroves

(Yes, I know wrong artist. I needed a bit of Cash) ;)

7:49 am

Jeanius421

that was johnny cash

7:49 am

Judi

You Picked a Fine Time to Leave me Lucille.

7:49 am

hokie carla

this one is in the grid, which is why I'm singing it. plus you'll be sent to the PB if you answer

7:50 am

hokie carla

well now that one is in my head, thanks judi

7:50 am

mattygroves

Or, as the Donner Party said when their wagon broke down, 'you picked a fine time to leave me loose wheel'

7:50 am

hokie carla

LOL, I've heard something similar, but how fitting today, matty

7:50 am

Judi

Stuck with 57 left.

7:50 am

Jeanius421

Good one Matty

7:50 am

MollyL

Oh, it's the not gentleman song

7:51 am

hokie carla

ding ding ding, molly wins all the dings

7:51 am

Judi

I believe that makes Molly a ding-a-ling.

7:52 am

MollyL

And why not The Commodores?

7:53 am

hokie carla

well now it is

7:53 am

hokie carla

and there was one by styx or someone

7:53 am

robwhy

MollyL

7:54 am

robwhy

7:54 am

MollyL

Not one of Styx better songs

7:54 am

hokie carla

agreed

7:54 am

BzznBea

I've had The Champs song running through my head all morning.

7:55 am

MollyL

I have been seeing PeeWee Herman dance to that song all morning

7:55 am

hokie carla

hmm, champs song

7:56 am

hokie carla

aha

7:56 am

MollyL

And dear Lord Bea, at least add sunrise and go for a better earworm

7:57 am

hokie carla

7:57 am

Jeanius421

don henly

7:58 am

hokie carla

7:58 am

Jeanius421

Love him brilliant lyricist

7:58 am

MollyL

It's The Eagles

7:58 am

BzznBea

He grew up in my area.

7:58 am

hokie carla

I used to hate the Eagles, but they are growing on me

7:59 am

Jeanius421

Love them

7:59 am

hokie carla

and their version of Please Come Home for Christmas is my favorite Christmas song

7:59 am

MollyL

And let us not forget the late, great Glenn Frey

8:00 am

Jeanius421

Never

8:00 am

hokie carla

I did not rem. he died

8:02 am

hokie carla

did he outdie the other band members? and surely there are people that can outdiet me? why are none of these words working?

8:03 am

mattygroves

I have learned the O is not, in fact, an ou, much to my surprise

8:04 am

hokie carla

def. not an outie belly button

8:04 am

BzznBea

One of those common babble words...

8:08 am

MollyL

Really? That one must not be committed to my vague memory then. I had to look it up

8:09 am

hokie carla

any against words? I am against neutrals such as ta5, but enable is not

8:09 am

MollyL

You people who can remember all these obscure, never used words amaze me.

8:09 am

BzznBea

No against

8:09 am

hokie carla

I did finally get the o word and we've had it before but would not look for it

8:10 am

hokie carla

apparently it's a fungi, molly

8:10 am

hokie carla

as opposed to a real drag

8:10 am

MollyL

Carla manages to blurt two words in one comment. Quite the feat

8:14 am

hokie carla

well, 37 left after first pass. managed to gray 6 tiles.

8:34 am

BzznBea

high point tile was used a lot today.

8:38 am

hokie carla

you mean besides the 7 words that start with it?

8:38 am

BzznBea

yes

8:40 am

MollyL

*Wonders if people are searching for 7 it words

8:40 am

hokie carla

<--hopes not

8:42 am

MLFAN17

8:44 am

BzznBea

8:44 am

hokie carla

oh thanks, one of the words bea was talking about

8:45 am

BzznBea

the 7 is pt

8:45 am

hokie carla

looks like a fancy version of a shortened word that's a newfangled abacus

8:45 am

MLFAN17

is that a fish?

8:46 am

hokie carla

? no

8:47 am

bichon

ty carla

8:47 am

MollyL

It looks like a French word for what you put candles on for a birthday

8:49 am

bichon

and Molly

8:49 am

MollyL

Depending on which ca6/30 you are referring to

8:49 am

MLFAN17

9:00 am

hokie carla

oh geez

9:00 am

rururocks

what do the 8's start with?

9:01 am

BzznBea

9:03 am

hokie carla

does the G have a 7 with it? and that is GL, right?

9:03 am

bonkler

would happily accept a clue for either

9:03 am

BzznBea

no.

9:03 am

hokie carla

I think the L is what happens if you melt ice

9:03 am

rururocks

li7 to melt metal to fuse it

9:04 am

BzznBea

the gl is sword shaped. think of roman fighters

9:04 am

hokie carla

or metal ;)

9:04 am

hokie carla

thanks, bea. was on the right track but was thinking flower related

9:05 am

bonkler

9:08 am

hokie carla

9:08 am

MollyL

WARNING! Bea is on the loose with an axe!!!

9:09 am

hokie carla

9:09 am

hokie carla

even worse

9:09 am

hokie carla

spua

9:09 am

hokie carla

9:10 am

hokie carla

9:10 am

rururocks

9:10 am

hokie carla

just need 1 S

9:10 am

hokie carla

not slique either

9:10 am

rururocks

spua is when you're choking on water

9:11 am

MollyL

Matty, start like a tropical fruit and end like the song "She's A Ma5" from Flashdance. Then plural. ANd no, not obvious at all.

9:11 am

hokie carla

did not see matty's post and wondered what in the world molly was talking about

9:12 am

MollyL

All I can say is that Mr. B and Mother Bea better mind themselves today.

9:12 am

hokie carla

9:20 am

hokie carla

9:30 am

hokie carla

9:51 am

dauber

9:51 am

MollyL

10:00 am

MollyL

I was wondering how someone would think that there is an OL

10:01 am

hokie carla

well, I'm pretty sure mlfan's post says ol, so that's why I clarified. :D

10:01 am

MollyL

Her post does say OL. I was just wondering how someone could think there was an OL

10:02 am

hokie carla

I was worried she was looking for an OL. LOL.

10:06 am

cybernan

probably a typo -- I'm sure you have made those too

10:08 am

hokie carla

oh geez, I wasn't berating her over a typo, was trying to be helpful. I will stop. TTFN.

10:09 am

cybernan

I was replying to Molly's comment, carla

10:14 am

Hello TO!

You're welcome, nan.

10:23 am

ty Haz

10:24 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, bichon.

10:24 am

72 Temple Owl

are you still in lockdown?

10:24 am

Haz1558

Well, some things are beginning to open up.

10:25 am

Haz1558

Non-essential retail can do click and collect, we can meet people in restricted numbers outside, but essentially still in lockdown. No hairdressers yet..

10:25 am

72 Temple Owl

good.

10:26 am

Haz1558

My daughter and son-in-law came by on Saturday. We sat in the garden with duvets over us but it was good to chat.

10:26 am

72 Temple Owl

well, no hairdressers - that is NOT good. ;)

10:27 am

Haz1558

I've even started dreaming about getting my hair cut.

10:27 am

cybernan

pretty much the same here -- but recommended we don't leave our neighbourhoods and wear masks inside and out as well as distancing. Variants are on a dramatic rise here.

10:27 am

72 Temple Owl

oh my!

10:27 am

72 Temple Owl

how long has it been?

10:28 am

Haz1558

My last hair cut was at the beginning of December.

10:29 am

cybernan

was it really short before, haz?

10:29 am

72 Temple Owl

i feel that pain. last year I went from feb to the end of august.

10:30 am

Haz1558

Not terribly short, no, but it seems to have accelerated in growth, or maybe I'm just exasperated with it. I should have had a crew cut in December when I had the chance!

10:31 am

72 Temple Owl

time for me to go. house work- and lunch await. happy babbling.

10:32 am

cybernan

lol -- thinking of going to a judi dench cut when everything opens up again -- so sick of long hair. I've always kept it in a short layered cut, but it has been 15 months and is now well past my shoulders

10:32 am

Haz1558

Thanks, TO, good to see you.

10:32 am

cybernan

bye to

10:33 am

Haz1558

Nan, my layers are now grown out as well. The only good thing is that my hair has become more curly with age so I am embracing the curl and abandoning trying to blow it dry.

10:34 am

cybernan

lucky you -- trying valiantly to keep long fine straight hair confined with a clip -- not easy

10:35 am

Haz1558

But you have to allow extra time for it to dry before venturing out. It takes some getting used to but I can understand the frustration of trying to get shape into hair that won't cooperate.

10:37 am

cybernan

actually I was looking at hairdo's for older women on the internet -- kind of like the Meryl Streep do

10:37 am

Haz1558

I just want to feel neat and tidy again and not looking like the Wreck of the Hesperus - an expression my mother liked to use.

10:38 am

cybernan

yes - Mom used that one too

10:38 am

Haz1558

That wreck must have made quite the impression!

10:39 am

cybernan

that and all the starving children in Africa that any uneaten food would have fed

10:40 am

Haz1558

Or the jail awaiting her if I didn't go to school.

10:40 am

cybernan

oh - didn't get that one

10:40 am

Haz1558

And the career in the mill that awaited me.

10:41 am

bichon

I always got "They're starving in Europe"

10:43 am

Haz1558

If I ever claimed I didn't want to go to school, I got the twin horrors of mother in jail and me working in the linen mill. And yes, the starving in Africa, and the children who would be glad of my clothes if I didn't like them. Precious little sympathy!

10:44 am

bichon

I grew up in the 50's

10:44 am

cybernan

the difference a generation makes. There was certainly no coddling or sympathy for mild upsets. More of take it on the chin and get on with it.

10:45 am

Haz1558

I can't remember if I ever threatened my girls. I did overhear the older one telling off the younger one using my style. Number one.... Number two.

10:45 am

rururocks

i've never grown up

10:46 am

Haz1558

I think we were expected to be resilient.

10:46 am

cybernan

I have to admit - I never did have and still don't have any patience with prima donas

10:46 am

rururocks

wow.. flosey is on line :D HI FLosey

10:49 am

cybernan

cl 7 please -- just know it isn't champagne!

10:50 am

Haz1558

cl7 - descriptive/past tense of cl630, the select band.

10:50 am

flosey

not flo…. her son visiting

10:51 am

Haz1558

Hello, visiting son.

10:51 am

flosey

hello all

10:51 am

cybernan

ty haz - didn't know that could be a pt

10:52 am

cybernan

hi flosey's son

10:52 am

Haz1558

Nor did I, nan.

10:52 am

Haz1558

How is flosey, if you're comfortable to let us know?

10:52 am

cybernan

Nice and sunny on SaltSpring today?

10:53 am

flosey

happy i'm here... wanton self promotion

10:53 am

flosey

10:53 am

I'm hoping we can manage a family reunion somewhere next summer -- there are 18 of us, so it requires some planning. We have had 2 kids turn 50 during this pandemic, and one turning 55 this year - also an 80th birthday and some milestone anniversaries, so a lot to celebrate when the time comes.

ok -- don't know what is wrong with liquify that something new had to be "manufactured", but ty

11:25 am

hokie carla

similar ending to the other 8

It usually has an ID in it

11:25 am

maybe someone who doesn't know how to spell made an addition to the dictionary

11:26 am

hokie carla

wondering how I can't find 2 4's out of 5 words left

11:26 am

MollyL

Someone who doesn't know how to spell created the Enable Word List

11:26 am

hokie carla

I think of the longer one more in a financial way

11:27 am

MollyL

The LI words here have to do with metal not water

11:28 am

hokie carla

where'd ru go? I need some guesses here on GSLAT

11:29 am

You know Carla, Ru does live to serve you but perhaps he had a pressing matter to attend to.

11:29 am

again, I ask, what is wrong with liquify or smelt?

2:25 pm

hokie carla

well, Molly tried it earlier in regards to Flashdance song but nan wasn't buying it

2:26 pm

hokie carla

mainly because she didn't know what Flashdance was

2:27 pm

MollyL

Yeah, well A) I wasn't cluing that for Nan and B) When cluing for Nan, make sure your references don't go beyond the 1940's.

2:27 pm

moolingwa

I needed that one, thx

2:28 pm

hokie carla

I was actually coming here to guess that moo needed 2 G's off the top row when Luv asked for it

2:28 pm

moolingwa

have 4 to go

2:28 pm

hokie carla

I don't know, Molly, remember that time she didn't know bazooka, which is from the 40s or before

2:29 pm

MollyL

And if you want to see good clues, go back a few years when people REALLY knew how to clue well without giving the word away.

2:29 pm

moolingwa

3 to go

2:29 pm

MollyL

Oh yeah, I forgot about bazooka. That is way before the 40's.

2:30 pm

what's the y?

2:30 pm

Nope, I was wrong. Bazookas were designed in 43

what are the 8s?

T L D

2:36 pm

moolingwa

4, 5 and 8

2:38 pm

hokie carla

I thought you had the 8? I think if you just tried a wee bit harder on that.

2:38 pm

moolingwa

sorry not 8...it's a 7 :)

2:38 pm

hurshy

esp since you don't say you need a 7...

2:38 pm

hurshy

ah

2:38 pm

hokie carla

ok, that makes more sense

2:39 pm

moolingwa

yeah, I think I clued the 8 before ;)

2:39 pm

hurshy

meanwhile you can help me with some other 7s

2:39 pm

hurshy

i have: cl, de, li, sc, te

2:39 pm

hokie carla

well, you clued the 7 so I assumed you had the 8 that went with it

2:39 pm

moolingwa

okay, they all have 7 letters...and contain consonants and vowels

2:39 pm

joym999

You need to look a little closer to find that D7. If you had a magnifying glass you could see more D7s.

2:40 pm

hurshy

wow moo, just give them away why don't you

2:40 pm

moolingwa

sorry, should work harder on my cluing :)

2:40 pm

hokie carla

lol

2:40 pm

hokie carla

there is a ca7, hurshy

2:41 pm

moolingwa

then there's that sc7

2:41 pm

moolingwa

assume you got the g, seeing it was just clued by hoke :)

2:41 pm

hokie carla

and GL7 that molly informed me is gluten related

2:41 pm

moolingwa

c7 and d7

2:41 pm

moolingwa

actually two c7s

that SC7 sounds like a northern country but it isn't.

2:42 pm

hurshy

thank you hokie, looking

2:44 pm

hokie carla

I think we have named them all

2:45 pm

hurshy

no, still one other

2:45 pm

hokie carla

good luck with the rest, babblers

2:45 pm

joym999

The C7 is very exclusive

2:47 pm

hurshy

to review, we have now listed: ca7, cl7, de7, gl7, li7, sc7, te7, there remains one other 7, which i guess is whatever mool is missing

2:48 pm

hurshy

and if that's true it must be a T cause i have all the L and D words now

2:49 pm

hurshy

and it would have to come from the bottom left T

2:50 pm

Uneaixoise

Clue for ca7?

2:50 pm

hurshy

there are two ca6/30, it's the past tense of the second one

2:51 pm

hurshy

it looks like a french version of a short way of saying that you computed the answer to some numbers...?

2:55 pm

hurshy

ok, so, mool must have been missing the te7 that i have, because the last 7 is a GU

2:56 pm

Uneaixoise

I have the sailing vessel......

2:57 pm
