Opened the puzzle at about 10:14 and it showed 286 words. Spent twenty minutes adding words and just a few minutes ago it went from 286 words to 190 words, but all the words we entered since we started are still showing up in the list. So for example 'carpet' is in our list, though it isn't in the puzzle any more. Ideas?

Here is a sample of how many of these idiotic tarrifs are going to play out: Trump says 25% more for us to sell aluminum to american companies--in this case, a company that makes tall boy beer cans for export. The can company, in turn will pass along the 25% to is consumers--in this case Molson Canada, who in turn will charge consumers extra to offset the new cost of the cans. Should these cans of fine Canadian beer get exported to the U.S the bars will pay 25% more for thise cans of beer--the cost of which gets passed down the line to the U.S beer drinker...Is this making America great again??? To top this all off,we do not have the infrastructure in Canada to make "tall boy" cans, but we do make the 355ml beer cans, so our Trump solution is to keep our aluminum, make our own cans, and sit back and wait for the U.S to ask us to build them airplanes--which we fill with cans of beer because the U.S can company cannot get enough aluminum at a good price. It boggles the mind. We are too interwoven for this nonsense. It is a horrible game with no winners.

How I came up with the J words.

Oh, and good morning. :)

I dont believe I have ever see that JN word before.

My brain: "what if banana, but with J"
Game: "J-word added"
My face: O.O

Us old farts will compare that to the "Name Game" song, lol!

HI CROSSY, so glad you are back playing babble more. have missed you. regarding the chief idiot, i am wonderig
7:25 am
crosshair

Aww, thank you, Nancy. Missed you as well. :)
7:25 am
NANCY

wondering how i am going to survive the blitz of the orange monster for 4 more years. One way is to ignore all the political shows i used to watch. Thanks for the view from Canada. I was born and raised in Detroit so spent many fun times in Canada.
7:29 am
crosshair

Well if he steals Canada there will be about fourty million extra democtatic votes in the voting pool, so he will be out by year two, if that is any consolation. :)
7:29 am
crosshair

Democratic
7:30 am
NANCY

Hopefully, Canada will remain our friend
7:31 am
NANCY

and understand that this will pass.
7:32 am
crosshair

A madman somehow bought his way into power. We do not have our American friends for this; we think of it as an illness, and we wish you all a fast recovery.
7:32 am
Scrabbler

For me, I am most worried about the decline of American health--the NIH and CDC are being decimated, and RFK, Jr will cause vaccination rates to plummet.
7:33 am
crosshair

Yes, Trumps likes to keep a frenzy going of all fronts--diversion, distraction, division.
7:34 am
Scrabbler

Total chaos. The fools that worship him don't know the dangers ahead.
7:35 am
crosshair

Here, we are getting our shots more than ever. We see the jammed ER rooms, we know what needs to be done.
7:36 am
Scrabbler

COVID causes immune suppression, especially repeated infections, so people are sicker than ever.
7:36 am
crosshair

Today, in our home town hospital, there is a five hour wait to be seen.
7:36 am
Scrabbler

C-AIDS = COVID AIDS
7:36 am
NANCY

Scrab, so many things to worry about and the blitz is ongoing. Muskrat and the Felon are going to get their doomsday one way or another. I pray soon. The fools that follow this total disaster may never wake up but I pray some sense comes to them when it hits home with a personal issue.
7:37 am
crosshair

Unless you cannot breathe, or you are having a heart attack, or bleeding out.
7:37 am
Scrabbler

We need people with spines and character to fight back.
7:38 am
Scrabbler

Hospitals are collapsing due to the volume of sick people. Health providers are burned out and ill too.
7:39 am
crosshair

Canada and Mexico are fighting--trust me, but we are doing so surgically with deep planning as to proceed. We are not going to do knee-jerk responses to the Felon.
7:40 am
Scrabbler

If avian flu mutates to allow human-to-human transmission we will be in an apocalypse. Bird flu in the past has had a fatality rate of 40-50%!
7:40 am

For example, as of this week, U.S companies can no long secure Canadian government contracts.
7:41 am
Scrabbler

Trudeau is being tough, fortunately.
7:41 am
crosshair

I do not know the answer for Trump and Muscrat undermining your health system though. :(
7:41 am
NANCY

I thought Justin was out of power but I see him on the news. Did Canada decide to keep him?
7:42 am
crosshair

He is here until the end of March, I believe.
7:42 am
Scrabbler

Maybe personal experience, i.e. death in their families, will change their views.
7:44 am
NANCY

Will Canada stay strong with a new leader?
7:46 am
NANCY

I am definitely on team Canada so I hope there are enough strong willed and intelligent people to withstand this ridiculous situation brought on by a cruel and ruthless idiot who now is in power.
7:47 am
Scrabbler

Yes
7:47 am
crosshair

Depends who ends up in office, but by the end of March we will have oretty much figured out how we are going to play this.
7:48 am
crosshair

We are alreay making deals With the E.U, GB, snd Cina, we are eliminating any inter-provincial trade barriers.
7:48 am

7:49 am

We have cancelled Tesla and Starlink contracts.
7:49 am

JT has been acting very "presidential."
7:51 am
crosshair

If anything, J.D is even worse, because you can tell that billionaires and big companies will ride him like a cheap rented mule.
7:51 am
NANCY

please keep us posted. What you have shared about the deals being made warms my heart and gives me some hope.
7:52 am
Scrabbler

I meant Justin Trudeau. JD is a dope.
7:52 am
crosshair

I so hope you guys can get out from under this disaster.
7:53 am
crosshair

Ahh my mistake, not 100%awake yet.
7:54 am
crosshair

J.T is actually handling this quite well--as well as chaos can be handled.
7:55 am
NANCY

that is one of the keys....dont react with panic and fear and threats, that is just what the
7:55 am
Scrabbler

I have been impressed. OK, I need to get things done. Enjoy the day.
7:55 am
crosshair

Citizens are doing their bit as well. We are trying to buy Canadian to the exclusion of all else.
7:55 am
NANCY

7:55 am

Tc, scrabby.
7:57 am
NANCY

Lovely to have you back and nice to have a conversation. I will still be here. have not entered a word in 30 minutes.
7:57 am
crosshair

We are also making seperate bi-lateral trade deals with Mexico, because the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
7:58 am
crosshair

Lol,ty, Nancy. Though when I am in the groove I do tent to yammer on a bit. :)
7:58 am
NANCY

Can I come and live with you for the next four years?
7:59 am
crosshair

Lol! Make you some good bacon!
8:00 am
crosshair

8:01 am
crosshair

Brb. Pups need to pee.
8:02 am
NANCY

sounds delicious. When I was growing up and we had your bacon, it was always a treat. It is the best.
8:35 am
hokie carla

wait, are we talking bacon or canadian bacon, which reminds me of ham
8:35 am
hokie carla

and maple flavor makes me want to hurl, no offense to you canadians :D
8:36 am
NANCY

canadian bacon and maple enhances the flavor even more.
8:37 am
hokie carla

Rehi. :)
8:50 am
welki

hi carla, crossy
8:50 am
hokie carla

hey crossy
8:51 am
crosshair

Nancy, what you think of as "canadian bacon" we call peameal bacon--unlike regular "streaky" bacon.
8:53 am
crosshair

Had to run to the store just now for some butter, so I was thinking of you and grabbed some applewood smoked bacon. :)
8:53 am
NANCY

SO was i always having peameal bacon? The bacon we called canadian bacon resembled ham.
8:53 am
crosshair

That is peameal bacon.
8:53 am
NANCY

and was circular in nature
8:54 am
welki

there's peameal bacon, and back bacon - peameal is coated with cornmeal, back bacon isn't
8:54 am
welki

(they both look like ham)
8:54 am
NANCY

so what is streaky bacon?
8:54 am
hokie carla

yeah, I don't think I've seen peameal
8:54 am
hokie carla

I think streaky bacon is what we call bacon
8:54 am
welki

hahaha - actually, back bacon is peameal bacon with the coating
8:54 am
hokie carla

in strips with the streaks of fat
8:55 am
crosshair

Regular sliced bacon.
8:55 am
welki

yeah, streaky = regular ol' bacon
8:55 am
welki

there's also middle back bacon, which is streaky and back bacon in one piece
8:56 am
NANCY

well the bacon i had was not coated with anything and looking a little like ham and was circular and delicious.
8:56 am
crosshair

Back bacon.
8:56 am
hokie carla

that's mcdonald's egg mcmuffin meat ;)
8:56 am
welki

yeppers
8:57 am
hokie carla

and I'd rather have streaky bacon any day over that
8:57 am
crosshair

We take our bacon seriously. Lol!
8:57 am

not sure I have a jar on hand but I did copy the recipe from the original. hold on.
I think one of the things is they say to use the choc bar and chop it up instead of choc chips, which shouldn't change the taste, just the ease of making it.
9:32 am

Oh, yeah, I know my mom uses chocolate chips. (I've been trying to duplicate for years what my mom does, but I can't get it QUITE right. Even did a batch under her supervision and it wasn't quite the same.)

12:02 pm

Find something nasty? If someone wants to say "No - I am the bad infection no antibiotic will touch" then suggesting they have some kind of personality or grandiose weird psychological issue or are simply drunk is factual. Not nasty.

I'm not really sure what his real beef is with Canada to begin with. Sure some people try to come across the border but nothing like mexico.. sure some drugs come across the border but nowhere near as dangerous as the inflow from Mexico.

I dont believe you can averreact to anyone supporting wht is going on. Maybe working in healthcare means we see another side of it, but right now if you arent terrified, you arent paying attention.

I cant lkeep them oput MollyL but in real liofe I'm choosy about ho I spend my time with. Hateful and dangerous asshole supporters don't fit that bill. Especially when their bio proclaims their "christianity", gun addiction nd goes on about earning their own money as if thats something to be proud of and not a baseline. Do some people want a medal or a chest to pin it on?
12:12 pm

Though I no longer have the lungs for smoking it. :/

True Bzz. When I was a teen you knew what you were getting. We are turning up to callouts and finding kids in proper messes with super strong skunk and all sorts of weird stuff now. Was much more predictable in the 80s!

what is the name of the steakhouse? I really want to take that tulips and windmills cruise (Amsterdam to Antwerp and back) if I can find someone to travel with.

tylenol does nothing for me.. it's like the decaf of pain relievers

Nan! Shout me. I'll meet you, no problem. Let me go hunt through my reviews on tripadvisor for the name.

Codeine is terrible long term. You end up pooping rabbit pellets.

12:39 pm

Cross, I'm neither confiming nor denying the rbbit pellets. Aware of the kidney issues hence using half as much as prescribed and hence being 100% functional only half the time.

The boss was a war vet, so any veteran in town received one gallon of milk delivered for free per week for life.

Worked well; a free gallon of milk, and they would buy sour cream, yoghurt, cottage cheese, etc.

I guess you could say they were milking it for all it was worth?

Lol, they were--and they earned it.

Most of the vets were still in their sixties at the time. We did not begrudge them their milk.

6:47 pm

p + motor *** that goes in a car + a vowel

6:50 pm
hokie carla

oh, it does say on my thing "literally 'hairy'"
6:51 pm
penquis
