There are a few weird C words.

hi all, back from spending two days recovering from three shiny new vaccines (well, new to me)
8:04 am
Scrabbler

Which ones? In the last year or so I got the shingles vaccine and the pneumococcal one.
8:07 am
Scrabbler

uteri
8:07 am
Scrabbler

Free clue!
8:07 am
hokie carla

I need the shingles one and need to get checked for measles immunity.
8:07 am
Book Doctor Gwen

shingles, flue, pneumonia (okay, i did have the flu one once before but it was years ago)
8:08 am
Scrabbler

Good idea, carla.
8:09 am
Scrabbler

I have not gotten the RSV vaccine. I get a COVID vax every 6 mo. The Sanofi one, Nuvaxovid.
8:09 am
periwinkle

why every 6 months?
8:10 am
Scrabbler

It wears off in about 4 mo actually, although Nuvaxovid lasts a bit longer. COVID is not seasonal like Flu. There are usually 2 surges every year: summer and around December.
8:10 am
Book Doctor Gwen

i am scheduled to get some more in about 6 weeks. fun fun fun LOL
8:11 am
Scrabbler

Wise decisions, Gwen.
8:13 am
hokie carla

I live pretty close to this huge measles outbreak. have had the vaccine 3x in my life because I'm never immune when tested.
8:14 am
Scrabbler

Some people never convert after a MMR vaccine. Hepatitis B too. It happens.

Must be some very odd C words. I have only managed to find nine of them so far.
8:30 am
crosshair

My beloved had her auto-correct ding her on the spelling of spaghetti. As a Babbler this, of course, send me down an internet rabbit hole only to find that there are many spelling variants of this seeming common word. :)
8:31 am
crosshair

Seemingly"
8:36 am
mael

as an Italian, I can confirm that there is only one way to spell spaghetti
8:36 am
hokie carla

I've only ever seen spaghetti
8:36 am
hokie carla

and sketti ;)
8:38 am
Flask1

when my son was a toddler he always referred to it as sketti...
8:42 am
hokie carla

who knew it was universal kid word :D
8:44 am
crosshair

Lol, when our don was very young he used to sat "psketti."
8:44 am
crosshair

Son
8:44 am
hokie carla

oh yes, that one too
8:46 am
crosshair

According to the internet hive mind, "spaghetto" is used in many countries to denote a single piece of spaghetti. Learn something new every day. :)
8:46 am
Flask1

are there any clues for the lone X word please?
8:47 am

I have that one. Hmm
9:12 am
hokie carla

9:13 am

saanichcat

we had a huge storm last night, went to bed in the basement to kekep safe
10:19 am
hokie carla

so I assume your house was still there when you woke up?
10:19 am
saanichcat

otherwise, all is well. And you?
10:20 am
hokie carla

we don't have a basement anymore so it's a little scary during storms
10:20 am
saanichcat

there are bit of things all over, patio chair went flying
10:21 am
hokie carla

we had our griddle cover come off this morning but mr. hokie got to it before it flew away
10:21 am
saanichcat

do you get many scare storms where you are?
10:22 am
hokie carla

there's usually a tornado watch/warning or two a year but no actual ones in the 4 years we've been here. just hurricane helene.
10:23 am
saanichcat

I still have to do most of this grid ... see you later.... ah what, you get tornado warnings?
10:23 am

bottom R i have listen again and striped-shirt guy, anyone got the other one?
10:31 am
hokie carla

for those that don't know, the joke is he shows up before the worst weather events, so if you see him in town, you should leave.
10:31 am
hokie carla

those are the 2 I have
10:31 am
hurshy

oh i got it
10:31 am

rh6
10:31 am

10:32 am
hokie carla

hmm on the rh6
10:32 am

i feel like certain words shouldn't count. like grid and ti4 and stuff
10:36 am
FrenchToast

ti4
10:36 am
hurshy

cause we just use them too much
10:36 am
FrenchToast

floor ti4
10:37 am
hokie carla

yeah, but she said tiles, not tile and 4s we use all the time are exempt because saying ti4 draws more attention than just saying the word
10:37 am
hurshy

:D
10:37 am
FrenchToast

No biggie :)
10:37 am
hokie carla

and you dropped a random clue for et6 which draws more attention to that
10:37 am

lol, I really couldn't figure out why you said jim ca6e
10:38 am
