8:27 am

rururocks

he had a lot of medical issues nan but he outlived the vet's projections he lived to 11 and 1/2

8:27 am

rururocks

they told me when he was diagnosed that he'd live to 7-8 max

8:27 am

welki

wow - i thought he was younger, my memory is shit

8:30 am

Judi

Sorry to hear about the loss of your Dog, Ru. We too lost our dog of 8 years about a month ago. Cancer snuck up on her and stole her life. On the up side we adopted a new dog last Saturday. A little female border collie. She is a sweetheart.

8:31 am

Judi

Can't chat much. Boss is in the building. He'd freak if he saw me playing Babble. Later kids.

8:31 am

rururocks

I thought Dylan was my last dog, but this guy really needs a good home and dropped out of the sky to me so I'm going to take good care of him

8:31 am

welki

you and i should never utter those words, 'no more dogs.'

8:32 am

rururocks

i know Welki.. i gave it the old college try, but i'm miserable without a dog

8:33 am

welki

same with us. what's his name and i'd like to tell him that he's the luckiest boy :)

8:34 am

rururocks

Buddy.. and it kind of fits him so I'm not going to change it.. although with me he'll have fifty other names B-boy, B-man, Budmeister, etc

8:35 am

rururocks

he's really gorgeous too

8:36 am

welki

i think i can speak for most of us in wishing the two of you the best and that we'd all like to see a photo or two of this soon-to-be-spoiled-to-the-moon-and-bac\nk Buddy

8:37 am

rururocks

i'll figure out how to do it i have to take better pictures than the current caretaker.

8:37 am

Aloyisius

9:08 am

BzznBea

We are going on an adventure today.

9:08 am

rururocks

9:08 am

Aloyisius

9:08 am

rururocks

fun aloy.. have a great time

9:09 am

BzznBea

Mom is going to the hair salon.

9:09 am

rururocks

oh gosh.. that will be nice for her

9:09 am

Aloyisius

looking forward to it.. you have fun, too, Bea.. and I know ru will, picking up his Buddy! poof

9:10 am

BzznBea

Usually she just goes with a cane. Today we have to take her walker and and a big ass cylinder of 02...

9:11 am

rururocks

oh that is an adventure then

9:11 am

BzznBea

I always feel like I'm driving around with a time bomb when we take those tanks.

9:12 am

rururocks

well.. in a way you are

9:12 am

BzznBea

I know!

9:13 am

cybernan

I thought bea's mom was in the hospital?

9:13 am

BzznBea

I'm working on getting her a portable concentrator.

9:13 am

BzznBea

She was nan. She got home on MOnday.

9:16 am

cybernan

I think you need to find a hair dresser that will come to your home. She must feel a lot better if she feels like getting her hair done, so that is good news.

9:18 am

BzznBea

Unfortunately, it is against state law for cosmetologists to do home services.

9:22 am

hokie carla

really? there's a girl here that's been doing people's hair in their homes for years.

9:22 am

cybernan

same here carla

9:23 am

cybernan

it was really great during covid -- she was cutting some of her customers' hair out on their patios

9:23 am

BzznBea

Maybe she is doing it without a license.

9:24 am

cybernan

she must have her license, because she is able to buy her supplies from the professional salon supply companies

9:25 am

cybernan

now, maybe she doen't have a business license from the city.

9:26 am

mkg

Hi all. Need clues for any 8s you have. ThaNKS. I have no 8s.

9:26 am

BzznBea

It may have been against the law during covid. They wouldn't arrest you for it, but they would takeaway your license

9:26 am

cybernan

I think once you graduate and earn you hair dressing/cosmetology license, it is permanent as long as you keep paying your association dues.

9:27 am

BzznBea

We clued the du7/8 at 8:58

9:27 am

mkg

Ty

9:28 am

cybernan

oh - the du 7 I have doesn't plural

9:28 am

mkg

That is du 7 but it is du 7 44, and the 8 is from another du.

9:28 am

mkg

If anyone has any 8s to clue i would be appreciative. Ty.

9:28 am

BzznBea

the du 7 and 8 build off the du4

9:29 am

BzznBea

So you have an 8?

9:29 am

cybernan

so does the du 7/44

9:29 am

mkg

I would love a clue for the du 8 only please.

9:30 am

BzznBea

It is a plural of the 7

9:30 am

cybernan

I have an at 7-8

9:30 am

BzznBea

du7.56 and du8.75

9:30 am

cybernan

is there more than one du 7 then?

9:30 am

BzznBea

Yes.

9:31 am

mkg

There are two du 7s. Only one has an 8

9:31 am

hurshy

gooooooooood morning babbleland

9:31 am

BzznBea

correct, mkg.

9:31 am

BzznBea

Both of the 7's build off the du4.

9:32 am

hurshy

Hs Hacked!

9:33 am

cybernan

ty -- new word for me

9:33 am

hurshy

uhoh, i don't like hearing that lol

9:33 am

cybernan

sounds like a manufactured word for clone

9:34 am

hurshy

ok got it, that's not so bad

9:35 am

mkg

So i am still looking for the 8s. Clues welcome because i dont know a manufactured word for clone.

9:35 am

BzznBea

If you look at the point totals of the 7/8 I gave you, you might realize they are high points.

9:35 am

BzznBea

That is a clue!

9:35 am

hurshy

start with the du4 and then make the end into an action verb ending

9:35 am

mkg

I just got it. Wow. Never saw or heard that one. Weird.

9:36 am

BzznBea

She has that one, hurshy

9:36 am

hurshy

mkg doesn't

9:36 am

hurshy

or didn't

9:36 am

hurshy

lol

9:36 am

mkg

Is there an at 8?

9:36 am

hurshy

yeah

9:36 am

mkg

I got it finally. Ty all cluers. Ty

9:36 am

hurshy

i mean sorry i have no idea if there is an at8

9:37 am

mkg

I still would love clue for the at 8. Ty.

9:37 am

hurshy

i overlooked the "at" there

9:37 am

mkg

Hurshy thanks.

9:37 am

mkg

For now i am set to go to costco.

9:37 am

BzznBea

9:38 am

hurshy

9:38 am

hurshy

Rs Ravaged!

9:40 am

cybernan

still need one more r

9:40 am

hurshy

my last one was a simple normal 4, lol

9:41 am

BzznBea

They are all simple normal re's

9:41 am

hurshy

they are mostly normal words yeah, the ones that aren't normal are very frequently seen in grids, so, nothing really "out there"

9:42 am

hurshy

interesting that you can consolidate but you can't solidate

9:44 am

hurshy

9:51 am

marksdolly

I tried solomon but it didn't accept it :) thought it was worth the shot! LOL

9:51 am

MLFAN17

i have the same du 7 8 that has been mentioned already, but not the du8 by itself?

9:52 am

MLFAN17

mark so did i!

9:52 am

Shirlockc

pl mlf, unless there's another du8

9:52 am

hurshy

same root, MLF, but with a noun ending

9:52 am

marksdolly

lol

9:52 am

marksdolly

MLF there is no DU8 by itself

9:52 am

hurshy

i think MLF meant the du7 that doesn't pluralize

9:53 am

hokie carla

those are the times I did those NTPN. proving that we always see the same NTPN.

9:53 am

marksdolly

there is the combo plus another 7

9:54 am

9:54 am

HarryHood

9:54 am

marksdolly

good morning Harry

9:54 am

HarryHood

HarryHood

9:54 am

hokie carla

what's going on in FL?

9:55 am

MLFAN17

9:55 am

HarryHood

all done with grading, kids' md appts are made, and I'm ready to boggle

9:55 am

MollyL

Building collapse

9:55 am

hurshy

:(

9:55 am

MLFAN17

a building collapsed right?

9:55 am

HarryHood

it looks really bad. 2 AM total collapse

9:55 am

Shirlockc

so i'm missing a du7, hmmmm

9:55 am

hokie carla

wow, looks really bad

9:56 am

HarryHood

"pancake"

9:56 am

MollyL

This is getting creepy. Yesterday a pedestrian bridge collapsed in DC, now a building in Florida.

9:56 am

MLFAN17

shirl same first four letters

9:58 am

MollyL

Okay, informal poll. We were discussing the 35 year age difference between singer/actress Katharine McPhee and her husband. Do you think that relationships with significant age differences can stand the test of time?

9:59 am

MLFAN17

no

9:59 am

MLFAN17

ne 6 clue pls?

9:59 am

MollyL

Or you think age differences don't matter in relationships?

9:59 am

hurshy

i hope they can in some cases, molly

10:00 am

hurshy

i always root for people to be happy together

10:00 am

hokie carla

celine dion's husband was a lot older too

10:00 am

hurshy

katherine ze4-jones and michael douglas have lasted, haven't they?

10:01 am

MLFAN17

i was about to say that too hurshy

10:01 am

hurshy

of course we're only talking about people who love each other, not cases like anna-nichole smith

10:01 am

hokie carla

wow, didn't realize michael douglas was the same age as my mom

10:02 am

MollyL

One point that was made that with celebrity couples, there is money involved. That can be a motivator in staying together

10:02 am

hokie carla

well, anna nicole smith claimed she loved the old dude

10:02 am

hurshy

but it was a pretty transparent claim

10:03 am

hurshy

i have two ye4s, anyone have the other y word?

10:03 am

hokie carla

she was so drugged up at that point maybe she believed it

10:04 am

MollyL

The only couple I know with an age difference, the age difference is 10 years. They say that has been a struggle at times.

10:04 am

HarryHood

my father married my stepmother when he was 51 and she was 41

10:05 am

HarryHood

has never been an issue, as far as I know

10:05 am

HarryHood

I know a couple with a 25 year difference or so. also hasn't been much of an issue. they've been together over 20 years

10:06 am

MollyL

Who is older? Him or her? The majority of couples with an age difference is older guy/younger woman. I will let you guess why

10:07 am

HarryHood

yes. he is older. and there's no money involved

10:07 am

MollyL

I wasn't thinking of money Harry
: D

10:08 am

HarryHood

historically, it's about childbearing I think

10:08 am

MLFAN17

my husband and i are 10 yrs apart he is the older one

10:09 am

MollyL

I think it's more about what leads to childbearing

10:09 am

8:58 pm

hokie carla

this one was tough for me from about 50 on

joym999

yeh, this one is hard. I decided to list after about 200 words, given the time.

9:01 pm

hokie carla

well, let me know if you get stuck on any

9:02 pm

joym999

I will; right now I'm plowing thru the list, shaking my head at all the obvious words I missed.

9:06 pm

hokie carla

well, as usual in the big grids, a couple of my last 12 were easy ones that I definitely entered already

9:06 pm

joym999

typing too fast?

9:07 pm

hokie carla

no, they take but then disappear

9:08 pm

Oh I've had that happen. If you refresh your browser they usually reappear.

Doh! Looking at the wrong DU7 of course.
