: D

5:15 am

crosshair

it will seem like forever. :)

5:20 am

mattygroves

Tried hitmen again. It's STILL not there.

5:22 am

MollyL

Oh Matty, still living that definition of insanity.

5:24 am

mattygroves

I resemble that remark! May I have a little nudge on the mo8, please? I'm just not seeing it

5:25 am

crosshair

My definition of insane is that I just has to pay $1.27 a litre, or $5.27 a gallon for gas yesterday. :(

5:26 am

crosshair

rite

5:26 am

crosshair

oops

5:27 am

mattygroves

Oh, you summer child. We're $1.84 (USD) per litre or $6.97 per US gallon according to
https://www.globalpetrolprices.com/ga\nsoline_prices/

5:27 am

FrenchToast

matty did you ever watch the TV show "Glee" ????

5:27 am

mattygroves

Awww, I'm sorry! I thought the link was short enough not to break the chat :(

5:28 am

FrenchToast

The actor who played Finn... mo8 is his last name

5:28 am

mattygroves

I did not, no. Though I know of it

5:28 am

crosshair

yes, Matty, but you can drive t about a dozen countries in under three hours. i once drove 5 hours just to get a hamburger lol

5:28 am

Scrabbler

Good morning.

5:29 am

crosshair

Howdy, scrabby

5:29 am

mattygroves

Fair point, Crossy, well made

5:29 am

mattygroves

FrenchToast, I googled it (the actor) - thanks!

5:29 am

FrenchToast

yw!

5:30 am

crosshair

never seen the show, but a great clue with the help of Google, ty

5:31 am

Scrabbler

Crossy, your Toronto Blue Jays are playing here in Buffalo this season.

5:32 am

crosshair

Very cool. Hope the COVID situation allows it. here, we are just getting ready to start selling none essential items at our big box stores once again. The COVID number are finally dropping dramatically.

5:33 am

Scrabbler

Vaccines are making a big impact. There were 5000 fans at the game last night.

5:34 am

crosshair

Less that three weeks ago, we were getting over 3000 new cases a day province-wide, now we are under 800 and falling.

5:35 am

Scrabbler

Yet, the rest of the world has raging disease.

5:36 am

crosshair

I have not kept up as much as I would like on case numbers by state in the U.S

5:36 am

Scrabbler

The US South is undervaccinated and are at risk for a surge.

5:37 am

crosshair

Well, if they ever want that border open anytime soon they better roll up their sleeves.

5:38 am

crosshair

not t mention the load on the hospitals.

5:38 am

Scrabbler

These unvaccinated folks do not intend to be vaccinated, sadto say.

5:39 am

crosshair

Well, Darwin will balance things eventually, but in the meantime they will keep things hot in their state.

5:39 am

mattygroves

I had my second vaccine yesterday - and I feel fine!
I did feel a bit rough after my first though

5:39 am

Scrabbler

Darwin is shaking his head.

5:39 am

crosshair

Plus, canada, and much of Europe intend to demand prof of vaccination to travel.

5:40 am

mattygroves

The problem with people refusing to get vaxxed
is that there are people who CAN'T be and they'll remain
at risk

5:40 am

Scrabbler

Yay, matty.

5:40 am

mattygroves

My arm is a wee bit sore, but that's it

5:40 am

crosshair

I felt rough after my first as well-- i took the first one available and it was the Astra Zeneca, my wife and son got the maderna.

5:40 am

Scrabbler

Yes, matty, including children who are at risk by attending school.

5:41 am

crosshair

it is the "me-first attitude that will continue to kill those at risk. ;(

5:42 am

crosshair

here we are doing a tiered pening based on percentage of the ppulation vaccinated. You want stuff open? then get the vaccine.

5:42 am

crosshair

opening*

5:43 am

Scrabbler

There are far too many ignorant people, and those that want personal freedom. "Don't tell me what I have to do."

5:43 am

crosshair

Our big goal, as early as August, is to have 75% with one sht, and at least 40% with two.

5:43 am

crosshair

shot*

5:44 am

Scrabbler

Excellent

5:45 am

crosshair

God news is we are rolling out some second shots earier than planned, shots for over 80's and shots for those whose first shot was Astra Zeneca.

5:45 am

crosshair

good*

5:46 am

Scrabbler

How about an 8, rosalind?

5:46 am

crosshair

As far as the Astra goes, I think they are thinking if the first shot did not clot me up, then I should be fine with a second. ;)

5:47 am

5:48 am

Scrabbler

5:48 am

crosshair

waiting for rosalind to drop an 8 :)

5:48 am

Scrabbler

Or to realize she has to enter these words again.

5:49 am

crosshair

:)

5:50 am

crosshair

I can apply for my second shot anytime after July 19, and my wife and son can get their second anytime after Auggust 2nd, but that may speed up now.

5:51 am

crosshair

and a shoutout to you, Scrabby, and everyone in the medical field who are guiding us through this pandemic.

5:52 am

Scrabbler

We are trying to educate parents but some have zero interest in the vaccine. I focus on protecting their kids.

5:54 am

crosshair

Well, Trudeau is doubling down on the side of safety, I firmly believe when he finally does reopen the border, vaccine passports will be mandatory. So, the anti-vaxxers will have to vacation locally.

5:55 am

Scrabbler

Great plan. This is a public health issue.

5:56 am

crosshair

We came from behind and fought too hard to get our numbers where they are right now to risk any other option.

5:56 am

Scrabbler

Agreed.

5:59 am

crosshair

When the wife and son got theirs, we went to our local doctors office. they had a great drive-though clinic set up--I just phoned to register, we drove up, showed our health cards out the window, rolled up our sleeves, then went t the waiting parking, and after 15 minutes we could go.

5:59 am

Scrabbler

Great set-up.

6:00 am

rosalind230

Sorry just realised what I have done.

6:00 am

Scrabbler

We all do it, rosalind.

6:01 am

rosalind230

Not got an eight yet.

6:01 am

crosshair

fast, easy, and I think the small clinic did everyone on their patient list for all the doctors who use that clinic (about 2000 people) it was done in one day. ;)

6:01 am

Scrabbler

Very efficient plan.

6:02 am

crosshair

Yup, they had five "stations" set up and getting the shot and showing your health card was a matter of less than a minute

6:03 am

crosshair

I know a lot of work must have happened behind the scenes for this to work, and we are grateful to all

6:05 am

Scrabbler

Soon we will begin immunizing children. We will need to plan.

6:05 am

crosshair

roughly 300 jabs an hour at our tiny clinic. :)

6:06 am

Scrabbler

We predict that in less than a year we will be vaccinating all kids 6 months and older, just as we do with the flu vaccine.

6:07 am

crosshair

very good. :)

6:08 am

crosshair

same here. The COVID shot will be part of the regular annual flu shot season.

6:08 am

mael

I can't wait for my kiddos to be able to get the shot, hopefully september-ish

6:09 am

Scrabbler

I am eager for the great-nephews and great-niece to be immunized.

6:09 am

crosshair

We are frantically building local production facilities so we are no longer reliant on importing COVID vaccines.

6:10 am

Scrabbler

And share vaccine with poor countries. "No one is safe until we are all safe."

6:12 am

crosshair

This is so true.

6:13 am

crosshair

Though India has us committed to the old contract, and we are due to receive another 1.7 million does of Astra Zeneca within the next week or s.

6:13 am

crosshair

so.*

6:15 am

crosshair

I think India would be better served at this point by using those doses at home,but we are bound by the contract, that is why those of us who gt AZ as our first will be able to get our second shot sooner.

6:16 am

crosshair

Please excuse the typos--my "O" is a bit sticky.

6:18 am

Scrabbler

I must get ready for work. Enjoy the day.

6:18 am

crosshair

Tc, Scrabby.

7:14 am

sukee

Hi crossy

7:15 am

sukee

Guess I'm a bit late :)

7:23 am

do we want to ask why your O is sticky, Crossy?

ItalianGreyhound

good morning!

7:37 am

Judi

Greetings, y'all.

7:39 am

BzznBea

Good morning, Judi?

7:42 am

Aloyisius

hi Bea.. our son, his wife and baby were visiting your neighbor K.R. this Mem. Day weekend.. small world!

7:43 am

BzznBea

Do they live in NC?

7:43 am

Aloyisius

They were joining their friends at the lake but didn't want to camp with a 3wk old.. yes, they live in Willow Spring.

7:44 am

Aloyisius

hope you had nice weather for them..

7:46 am

BzznBea

We had one day of rain.

7:47 am

Aloyisius

oh, ok

7:50 am

Aloyisius

Many years ago, I introduced KR's wife to Babble.. and she, I think, showed the game to you.. someday maybe I'll meet you!

7:56 am

MollyL

No one asked, but I truly do not want to know why anyone's keyboard keys are sticky. Truly.

7:57 am

mattygroves

Sweat....food....drink - let's stick with that (see what I did there)

7:57 am

Judi

Yeah. That's personal space that needs to stay personal.

7:57 am

MollyL

Amen Judi.

7:58 am

rururocks

Oh boy. I am not saying anything

7:58 am

Retired PJs

Jeepers. An errant drop of orange juice would do it. y'all being gutter-minded this morning! ;->

7:58 am

lollypop11

keyboard could just be old

7:59 am

MollyL

Many of us live in the gutter. It's just a fact of life.

7:59 am

Judi

We're always gutter minded, PJs.

7:59 am

lollypop11

lol

8:00 am

MollyL

And when Ru is stunned into silence...well that is a rare thing.
: D

8:00 am

rururocks

Yeah it is hard to curb that kind of humor

8:01 am

Judi

Managed to peck my way to 55. Tricky grid today.

8:01 am

MollyL

Yes, but we have learned to tiptoe around the day-long ravings that can ensue from certain topics.

8:02 am

Judi

Yes, topical tulips don't always get tiptoed around though. Sometimes they get stomped to death (and then some).

8:03 am

MollyL

*Thinks of the dead horse that keeps getting beaten

8:03 am

Judi

Off to do some real work. See y'all later.

8:04 am

Aloyisius

bye Judi, hagd

8:08 am

MollyL

Okay, the an9 is weird. It sounds like the national song of chemistry.

8:10 am

Aloyisius

ty for the first part, monkeyed the rest Molly

8:13 am

ItalianGreyhound

that's one of 3 strange and long words

8:25 am

rururocks

I am kind of surprised there aren't more sevens in this grid

8:25 am

Aloyisius

FW, thanks to a2z.. the er9 isn't even in my Scrabble dictionary.

8:27 am

rururocks

i haven't figured out the ending to that one yet

8:28 am

Aloyisius

a parting clue for the er9: it begins with the prefix for a red blood cell and ends with a word for a sacred ceremony..

8:30 am

MollyL

Aloy, Queen of The Blurters
: D

8:31 am

Aloyisius

.. ends with a 4 letter word for ceremony or ritual to be more exact... ty Molly , my BQ crown is on

8:31 am

mael

thanks for that, I never would have found it

8:31 am

hokie carla

seems like I need to drink my coffee before I try to tackle these 9s

8:31 am

MollyL

And a Red Bull Carla

8:32 am

hokie carla

hmm, maybe so

8:32 am

Aloyisius

well, back to packing.. we are headed north soon. HAGD, all.. poof

8:32 am

hokie carla

I got half of each clue.

8:32 am

MollyL

I already had the er9 but that red blood cell prefix means nothing to me

8:32 am

Aloyisius

ruru will know

8:33 am

hokie carla

that's what's stumping me on that one

8:33 am

Aloyisius

not a lymphocyte

8:33 am

rururocks

i got it..

8:33 am

MollyL

It is the beginning of a medication that ends in myacin

8:33 am

BzznBea

I had those checked yesterday.

8:33 am

MollyL

Or omyacin

8:33 am

Aloyisius

yay! real poof..

8:34 am

hokie carla

funny, I was thinking of the med

8:34 am

MollyL

Wait, I'm lost. You had your lymphocytes checked?

8:34 am

BzznBea

It is a mineral or mineral deposit, if I remember correctly

8:34 am

rururocks

all that biology does pay off in this game

8:35 am

rururocks

it's related to cobalt bea

8:35 am

MollyL

Well, that is helpful for the science geeks

8:35 am

hokie carla

now if I can just get the right chem ending for the an9

8:35 am

hokie carla

pretty sure the science geeks don't need the help on those words

8:35 am

mael

a particle, hokie

8:35 am

hokie carla

speaking of, where is Harry?

8:35 am

MollyL

Charged particle Carla

8:36 am

MollyL

I haven't seen Harry in a while. Hope he's on vacation or something.

8:36 am

mael

hilariously, I am allergic to cobalt. of all the weird things...

8:37 am

hokie carla

same, molly. maybe end of school stuff, moving his daughter back etc.

8:37 am

rururocks

how did you find that out?

8:37 am

BzznBea

I'm glad Mr. Bea is home. He was gone forever!

8:37 am

hokie carla

yeah, how would you know? like those drug commercials "don't take if you are allergic"

8:37 am

mael

I had to take a patch test, it's when they cover your back in most known allergens and let you suffer for three days

8:37 am

rururocks

where'd he go bea?

8:38 am

hokie carla

so cobalt is a common allergy? and where would I run across it?

8:38 am

BzznBea

He was in STL visiting family.

8:38 am

mael

it wasn't surprising to the allergist, I am INCREDIBLY allergic to nickel and those allergies are related

8:38 am

rururocks

oh .. i've never heard of a cobalt allergy

8:38 am

mael

cobalt is in all multivitamins, that's B12. methylcobalamine

8:39 am

rururocks

why didn't you go bea?

8:39 am

BzznBea

Mom can't travel right now.

8:39 am

mael

if I were ever B12 deficient I'd be in a pickle

8:39 am

rururocks

well I learned something today then mael

8:39 am

hokie carla

I had that done on my arm for grasses, trees, etc. they said I was allergic to none and I have non-allergic rhinitis. yet the next day one spot puffed up and got super itchy so I called and they were like, well that doesn't mean anything.

8:40 am

hokie carla

but I definitely am allergic to something in the spring, either that spot or one they didn't test for.

8:40 am

rururocks

that diagnosis is nothing to sneeze at hokie

8:40 am

mael

the patch test is different from the prick test (har har), I've had those too for environmental allergens

8:41 am

mael

lol

8:41 am

hokie carla

interesting

8:41 am

BzznBea

That's ironic. I am being tested for B deficiency.

8:41 am

hokie carla

hey, I only have 6 words!

8:41 am

rururocks

I wouldn't want a prick test .. but that's just me

8:42 am

hokie carla

afraid you might fail 😜

8:42 am

MollyL

I think all post-menopausal women are vitamin B deficient.

8:42 am

mael

it might also be that you react only when your system gets overwhelmed. I am fine most of the time but if I'm already having a histamine reaction even the things that I'm not very allergic too set me off

8:42 am

hokie carla

"well, the results are in. you are indeed a prick." 🤣

8:42 am

mael

or in need of a prick, as the case may be

8:43 am

mael

hehe

8:43 am

MollyL

I've always found that allergy patch test weird. Okay, we know you have allergy problems, so now we are going to shoot you full of things that cause allergies.

8:43 am

hokie carla

yeah, they said it could seem like I have allergies because too much pollen can give anyone symptoms. okay, same thing every year.]

8:44 am

hokie carla

well, you would think an allergist or ENT would have an epipen on hand if it's really bad

8:44 am

mael

it was bad for me because I already knew I was allergic to nickel but the allergist said they couldn't take my word for it, so I ended up with a weeping sore several inches wide on my back

8:44 am

mael

fun times

8:44 am

hokie carla

yuck

8:45 am

rururocks

ugh mael

8:45 am

rururocks

I'm just allergic to nuts which is funny because I am one

8:46 am

hokie carla

is it just me or are these k's bad?

8:46 am

mael

they used to make most metal buttons out of nickel until someone finally figured out that it's a common allergen, I used to have to sew patches over the inside of all of my jeans

8:46 am

mael

I am allergic to pretty much everything but no food, surprisingly. I don't envy you at ALL ruru, food allergies are the scariest

8:46 am

BzznBea

I've had all kinds of testing this week, but not allergy testing. Thank goodness.

8:46 am

BzznBea

Yes, the Ks are Killer, Carla.

8:47 am

MLFAN17

does anyone know the word sttats for the word ending in a 4 letter word for some type of ceremony? someone gave the clue earlier but i cant find the clue again and i opened the chat 3 times

8:47 am

rururocks

yeah.. mael.. i have to take epipens with me when i go out to a new place i don't trust

8:47 am

hokie carla

no food allergies, but I do have auto-immune disease triggered by an ingredient, so I have that going for me (notice I didn't mention it for molly's sake)

5:23 pm

hurshy

8/50 sounds more plausible

5:23 pm

moolingwa

a looooooooong time :)

5:23 pm

5:23 pm

april98

9:05 pm

wht

I am not seeing anything joy. That means it is probably dead simple.

9:10 pm

grannyrose

fe6. ends with sometimes vowel. fe + w***e, put letters on paper + sometimes vowel

9:14 pm

grannyrose

yw wht

9:15 pm

grannyrose

ugh, not enough * ....w***e

9:15 pm

wht

I don't know what the fe6 really means but it looks like it should be a measure of the amount of iron in something.

9:16 pm

grannyrose
