my brother's family lived in Germany for five years....my sister-in-law loves stollen.....but it's hard to find a good one here in Maine....

8:03 am

mael

there's a lot of european sweets that I miss

8:04 am

hokie carla

I used to go to the southern christmas show in charlotte every year, and I'm pretty sure there was a vendor there who sold it.

8:05 am

MollyL

Williams Sonoma sells a good Dresden Stollen. It's pricey though.

8:06 am

LuvWordGames

8:08 am

LuvWordGames

I've only got 5 so I've got a long way to go

8:08 am

hokie carla

8:09 am

penquis

8:09 am

mael

8:10 am

hokie carla

I always try it

8:10 am

LuvWordGames

I tried it too

8:10 am

hokie carla

ntpn - banking app you can pay people with

8:10 am

LuvWordGames

or zens

8:10 am

MollyL

Don't forget the Polish currency

8:11 am

penquis

8:12 am

MollyL

I thought the first two zo words were weird.

8:13 am

penquis

well i don't have all the Zs....

8:13 am

Uneaixoise

Morning all....halfway! :-)

8:13 am

8:15 am

hokie carla

phantom senior

8:15 am

8:17 am

Dorens

i have all the z's.. they're normal especially if you're part polish

8:18 am

hokie carla

lol, I guess that's why they're not normal for me

8:18 am

penquis

hah....

8:18 am

hokie carla

just remembered the zl

8:18 am

BzznBea

the two Molly referenced are common in Babbleland

8:19 am

penquis

are they Za words?

8:20 am

MollyL

There is only one za word

8:20 am

hokie carla

she said zo. I found a set I think is what she was talking about.

8:20 am

BzznBea

no, zo4 and 5

8:20 am

LuvWordGames

I have one

8:20 am

hokie carla

up to 15

8:20 am

penquis

i have one as well....

8:20 am

penquis

got the other....

8:21 am

hokie carla

oh, I think bea and I misunderstood your question

8:21 am

hokie carla

or maybe I'm just confused all around

8:21 am

LuvWordGames

only 1 zl

8:22 am

hokie carla

ok, got the za. now just one z left.

8:22 am

penquis

i missed the O in Molly's post....

8:22 am

penquis

i am missing one Z....

8:22 am

LuvWordGames

Have all the z's now

8:23 am

hokie carla

zuper, luv. now just guess what pen & I are missing 😜

8:23 am

MollyL

Pen, do you have both 7's?

8:23 am

mael

thanks for that zl

8:23 am

hokie carla

well, I don't. thx.

8:23 am

penquis

ah....no just one...

8:23 am

LuvWordGames

4 have to do with the lemon

8:24 am

hokie carla

ah, thx luv

8:24 am

LuvWordGames

you can get 2 if you rearrange the letters in the z that we said we always try

8:24 am

hokie carla

back to the top row

8:24 am

LuvWordGames

1 has to do with wine and one is a teen age thing

8:24 am

LuvWordGames

thing

8:26 am

MollyL

Pen, just for clarity, do you still prefer no clues unless you ask for them?

8:26 am

penquis

yes, thanks Molly....

8:27 am

MollyL

Okay, because I wasn't meaning not to clue, I thought that was your preference.

8:28 am

penquis

i do have a question....are both 7s gerunds?...

8:28 am

rururocks

no

8:28 am

penquis

ty, ru....

8:29 am

hokie carla

but they are both forms of the root

8:31 am

hokie carla

someone working at a bank drive thru is tellering. change my mind.

8:32 am

mael

heh

8:33 am

MollyL

And everyone happily types in the 6

8:34 am

hokie carla

but you were okay with pen typing stollen in earlier, ok.

8:34 am

MollyL

Who said I'm not okay? I said they happily typed it ih.

8:36 am

origami

My router died and I was without internet for 3 days. I experienced Babble withdrawal.

8:37 am

penquis

i bet, ori....the pits....

8:37 am

hokie carla

oh my, ori...welcome back.

8:37 am

mael

hi ori!

8:37 am

Shirlockc

internet withdrawal is a thing!

8:38 am

penquis

i am in tennis withdrawal....haven't been able to play for a week....

8:38 am

mael

totally

8:38 am

origami

It was TV/movie withdrawal also since I don't have cable and stream everything.

8:38 am

BzznBea

How is your cold, pen?

8:38 am

rururocks

(missed out on slumberland)

8:39 am

penquis

double bummer, ori!....

8:39 am

MollyL

She saw Slumberland.

8:39 am

hokie carla

pen, I haven't played tennis in two weeks and my elbow still hurts

8:39 am

penquis

my cold is still active.....seems a little better....been using Dayquil/Nyquil.....

8:39 am

MollyL

Must have been before the router died.

8:39 am

origami

Yes, I saw it before the tragic death of the router.

8:40 am

hokie carla

maybe it killed the router

8:40 am

MollyL

May it rest in peace

8:40 am

penquis

still fuzzy headed....and nose blowing....

8:40 am

mael

hope it's not the flu, pen

8:40 am

mael

it's been going around here

8:41 am

hokie carla

yeah, my brother and his family had the flu a couple of weeks ago

8:41 am

MollyL

People are telling me they have been getting their first cold in two years. I just want them to stay away from me.

8:41 am

penquis

feels more like a regular cold.... did covid test twice and both were negative....

8:41 am

origami

Hope you feel better soon, pen.

8:41 am

penquis

and no fever at all....

8:42 am

penquis

ty, ori....

8:42 am

hokie carla

yeah, you would've had fever with flu

8:42 am

BzznBea

Of course they are getting cold now. They are probably not masking, etc.

8:43 am

mael

our immune systems are playing catchup

8:43 am

penquis

i still mask in places like the grocery store and convenience stores....don't know where I picked this up....

8:43 am

hokie carla

I had a bad one in summer '21

8:43 am

mael

my son had RSV and my daughter and husband got flu A. I magically escaped both.

8:45 am

MollyL

Don't colds transfer by germs on hands? As well as airborne stuff?

8:45 am

mael

also, yes. masks were good just to remember not to touch our faces

8:46 am

mael

but my kids don't mask at school anymore (which is the right choice for us) and so all the germs are coming home to roost, alas

8:46 am

MollyL

I am a chronic face toucher. Mask or no mask.

8:47 am

mael

me too, I sympathize

8:47 am

mael

I was better with a mask on but now, forget it!

8:47 am

hokie carla

same

8:48 am

rururocks

(puts on Josh Groban's Your Face for Molly)

8:48 am

MollyL

At least the HOW TO WASH YOUR HANDS signs are gone from the public restrooms. That was a little over the top.

8:49 am

mael

there are so many gerunds that look possible on this grid but aren't

8:49 am

hokie carla

I just saw one the other day, so not completely gone

8:49 am

mael

people still haven't learned how to wash their hands after this, so there's no hope

8:49 am

mael

they all stayed up here in MA, not that the people who needed to read them ever did

8:49 am

BzznBea

They are in the restrooms of the doctor's offices.

8:50 am

Shirlockc

things you should have learned in kindergarten

8:50 am

mael

things that I taught my children before kindergarten, yep

8:50 am

mael

but I am a stickler for hand washing

8:51 am

penquis

i did not go to kindergarten...

8:51 am

hokie carla

did you predate kindergarten, pen?

8:51 am

MollyL

Kindergarten was not mandatory until a certain time.

8:52 am

penquis

well i went to a Catholic school and it did not offer kindergarten....

8:52 am

hokie carla

my older brother is 58 and there wasn't K at schools then. he went to a church one I think.

8:52 am

penquis

it is not mandatory in Maine....

8:52 am

mael

nor MA either

8:52 am

mael

you can go straight to first grade, I think

8:52 am

origami

Nor in CA either.

8:52 am

dcseain

1976 was the first year of universal kindergarten where i grew up.

8:53 am

rururocks

i went to kindergarten at 4 my mom couldn't wait to get rid of me

8:53 am

hokie carla

not sure about VA or NC now, but the schools have kindergarten whereas they didn't in the 60s.

8:53 am

MollyL

Google says it is mandatory in the entire US, weird

8:53 am

penquis

my younger brother attended a private preschool before he went to first grade....he was very active....

8:53 am

mael

I would have sent mine earlier if I could too, ru

8:54 am

mael

daycare was a pain in the butt

8:54 am

mael

I'm all for universal pre-K, in fact, never mind kindergarten

8:54 am

Shirlockc

i wanted to go to kindergarten -- my parents told me they said they don't let thumbsuckers in so i stopped

8:54 am

hokie carla

both of my kids stayed back a year and did pre-k and I remember the preschool teachers telling me they didn't have to go to K then.

8:55 am

hokie carla

but we could still use the school's speech teacher because he was old enough to go to school.

8:56 am

dcseain

i was 5.5 when i began kindergarten

8:56 am

mael

both my kids too, they're spring babies

8:56 am

dcseain

i had speech therapy grades 1-5. I couldnt pronounce ch nor initial K

8:56 am

rururocks

I'm born in October so they started me before I turned 5

8:57 am

mael

you can't do that in MA, there's a hard cutoff of 5 by August 31

8:57 am

rururocks

that would have made it hard for you to join the KKK then DC

8:57 am

rururocks

:D

8:57 am

dcseain

when/where i grew up, a calendar year of us all started school in July. I was among the eldest in my class.

8:57 am

penquis

i think the cutoff here is either Oct. 1 or Oct. 15....

8:58 am

hokie carla

both my boys are Sept. the cutoff was Oct. 10 at that point, but we held them back anyway. the year after the youngest started the cutoff was changed to Aug. 31, so...

8:58 am

dcseain

good call, carla. i’m a big fan of delaying enrollment as late as possible.

8:58 am

hokie carla

for me seain, it was calendar year, so I had kids in my class with Dec. birthdays.

8:59 am

dcseain

we had year-round school, hence a July-June school year.

8:59 am

hokie carla

ah

9:00 am

dcseain

i must off to run errands, i’ll be back later today :)

9:00 am

penquis

bye dc...

9:00 am

hokie carla

bye

9:03 am

Hi welki

9:03 am

hokie carla

9:06 am

welki

we've taken up off-roading, one trail ride under the belt, one prescription for a sedative pending :)

9:06 am

hokie carla

haha

9:07 am

hokie carla

in an ATV or your truck pulling your camper?

9:07 am

welki

both, but most recently a side by side

9:07 am

welki

(and truck/camper ride wasn't planned *lol*)

9:08 am

hokie carla

it never is

9:12 am

mattygroves

I wonder what my missing Z is....it's not the Polish currency, I'll tell you that much ;)

9:13 am

penquis

do you have the two Z 7 words?

9:13 am

hokie carla

do you have both 7s?

9:13 am

mattygroves

I do not! I have a ze7/48...

9:13 am

hokie carla

the other is 7/56

9:13 am

mattygroves

What are the stats for the other, please?

9:13 am

mattygroves

ZE?

9:13 am

hokie carla

same root

9:14 am

mattygroves

Oh, wait - I think I've found it

9:14 am

phaeton

7 ze's; 4 zi's; 1 zl; 4 zo's 1 za

9:14 am

mattygroves

Bingo

9:14 am

penquis

9:14 am

mattygroves

Thank you

9:14 am

mattygroves

Zeds zoomed (or something)

9:14 am

penquis

yw...

9:15 am

hokie carla

it's so weird to me that you all have a word for a letter

9:15 am

mattygroves

well, so do you ... Zee

9:16 am

origami

Says the queen of acronyms :D

9:16 am

hokie carla

I know, but where did the d come from?

9:16 am

hokie carla

well, acronyms make things shorter

9:17 am

hokie carla

I didn't say it was wrong or right, just that it's so weird to me

9:17 am

rururocks

and more confusing

9:18 am

rururocks

a's, c's, l's, and t's to go

9:19 am

hokie carla

how are there 25 a's?

9:22 am

penquis

really....i can only find 13....

9:22 am

MollyL

To me, the alphabet song is hysterical using zed at the end 😊 Everything ends with the eee sound and then (boom) zed.

9:22 am

hokie carla

I found 9 and moved on

9:24 am

rururocks

15 so far here

9:27 am

mattygroves

W is a weird one - multisyllabic, where the rest of the letters are monosyllabic

9:27 am

mattygroves

Unless you count LMNOP as one letter, as many people seem to say/sing it ;)

9:28 am

hokie carla

ooh, found a 9

9:28 am

penquis

i only have one...

9:30 am

hokie carla

well, must get ready for a bike ride. no HOET thanks to the A. 91 total left.

9:31 am

keep getting this message from gmail, "almost out of storage", but I've gone into it and cleared up lots of stuff.. ugh. Am not paying for additional storage..

11:58 am

phaeton

aloy...did you reboot gmail?

11:59 am

Aloyisius

h'mm, how do you do that, phaeton? I thought it would reboot every time I logged out of it?

12:00 pm

phaeton

you using a computer or your phone?

12:00 pm

Aloyisius

laptop, phae

12:01 pm

phaeton

hmm...probably have to reboot the laptop. It might need to update. Do you turn off your laptop every night?

12:03 pm

Aloyisius

thanks for your advice, phae. I have started turning it off each night as my BIL suggested ..

12:03 pm

Aloyisius

Maybe it just takes time to take effect

12:03 pm

phaeton

yw...sorry I couldn't be more helpful

12:05 pm

Kiani

it's possible that you've deleted things but they are held in a "deletion queue" for a certain amount of time (probably 30 days), after which they will be deleted from the server and the space will be freed up again.

12:05 pm

Aloyisius

hope so Klani, ty !

12:07 pm

Kiani

might be able to delete it from that deletion queue manually - haven't checked in a while so can't recall where to find it

12:08 pm

Kiani

pretty sure that notification is for your entire account, so including photos and docs and such as well, if you have lots of things - might be the cause?

12:08 pm

Aloyisius

well, I'm not in a hurry unless my email is cut off; am at 83% capacity according to gMail

12:09 pm

Aloyisius

used the feature "Manage Storage"..

12:09 pm

Shirlockc

i have that same with icloud storage and i don't want to pay for more storage either

12:10 pm

mattygroves

This may help:

answ\ner/6374270?hl=en-GB

12:10 pm

Kiani

I don't work for google but I do work in IT and my guess is there are things being archived or not actually deleted yet from the server that are contributing

12:11 pm

Kiani

Aloyisius

love it that Babblers are so knowledgeable and helpful! (-:

12:15 pm

mattygroves

Do a search for has:attachment larger:10M - you can change that last number for whatever file size you like - it'll show notes too, if you use them. Very useful

12:17 pm

Aloyisius

okie doke, will probably be amazed. Too many people send me videos to download about all kinds of cute and crazy stuff!

12:19 pm

2:51 pm

cybernan

A gynecologist notices that a new patient is nervous.
While putting on the latex gloves, he asks her if she knows how they make latex gloves.
The patient says no. The doctor says, "There is a plant in Mexico full of latex that people of various hand sizes dip their hands into and let them dry.
She does not crack a smile, but later she laughs.
The doctor says, "What's so funny?" She says, "I'm imagining how they make condoms."

2:51 pm

penquis
