1:33 am

sprite

I am running on empty. Hope that Rob will be able to walk again today. And get some groceries. If not, I will order in.

1:35 am

sprite

he is not grumpy, thank God. We are having fun. I am teasing him. He is making his own arrows for archery. One of the feathers is called the cock feather. So I have told him the other two are hen feathers. Right? He insists they are called 'just feathers'. No no no my man, give the hen her due. Caya agreed.

1:36 am

I am so glad to have my Rob back. Had not even realised how much his behaviour had changed, until it changed back.

1:38 am

grannyrose

yes. ikr? Don had never seen me before but he adores what he has now.

1:39 am

sprite

Caya has her final interview on Tuesday. FIngers crossed. Though I cannot imagine her not passing the final one.

1:39 am

sprite

hah, he better! If he doesn't adore you, he cannot have you :D

1:40 am

grannyrose

i will pray for her. i am sure she has this. but it doesn't hurt to have the Big Guy in her corner.

1:41 am

sprite

exactly. I will make sure He has a marble rolling pin, in case there are hardheaded professors.

1:41 am

sprite

We have offered to drive her, but she wants to go alone. So I am gonna wrap up the owl and give it to her on Monday, to open after she is done.

1:43 am

grannyrose

awww. she just wants to be totally independent. so hard for you both when you know your baby is going through a difficult time.

1:44 am

sprite

she has every right to make her own decisions. We offer, and we tell her why. After that, it is totally up to her.

1:45 am

grannyrose

ChampFit

The G, C and S are aching me today.

9:15 am

hokie carla

currently stuck on the first E

9:16 am

9:16 am

hurshy

various babblets

9:16 am

ChampFit

Need 1 more there...

9:17 am

hurshy

my last E was e + a certain stringed instrument of yore

9:17 am

ChampFit

And that was the one I needed! Thanks hursh.

9:18 am

hokie carla

thanks, I read that wrong at first and was confused

9:20 am

hokie carla

lol, of course I had missed the classic crossword answer. but still need 2 E's!

9:21 am

hurshy

believing you can find them is half the battle

9:21 am

hokie carla

is it though?

9:21 am

hurshy

in this case, yes

9:21 am

hurshy

not with like every weird word that ever shows up, but for these Es, i would say it is

9:26 am

marksdolly

the only E that is a bit weird is a norm for this game

9:26 am

hokie carla

well, I've got bigger problems now with the O 🤣

9:27 am

hurshy

yeah the O is a different story

9:28 am

ChampFit

Do you have the oc6?

9:28 am

hokie carla

hmm, not ocelot

9:28 am

hurshy

of or relating to the eyes

9:28 am

ChampFit

eyeballs...

9:29 am

hokie carla

ah, thanks both

9:29 am

hokie carla

if we had a j, we could have another word :D

9:30 am

hurshy

we do have a J

9:30 am

hurshy

just not in the right spot

9:30 am

hurshy

now, stick an S in that word to get a 7

9:30 am

hurshy

then, cut off the last letter of that 7 for a 6

9:30 am

hokie carla

never seen that one before

9:30 am

hurshy

then, change the last letter of that 6 for another 6

9:30 am

ChampFit

thanks hursh!

9:31 am

ChampFit

10:25 am

BzznBea

I just found two that are compound using the bovine.

10:25 am

hokie carla

hmm, I have been trying those. will look again.

10:26 am

hokie carla

also, I have definitely said the word cowpile before. how is that not a word?

10:27 am

BzznBea

remove the L

10:28 am

hokie carla

thanks

10:29 am

hokie carla

we usually call them cow patties. btw, my uncle said recently that his wife patty prefers to call them piles 🤣

10:47 am

hokie carla

just found the famous fable writer

10:51 am

BzznBea

Watching the womens final

10:52 am

hokie carla

10:52 am

hokie carla

looking for 4s here already

10:53 am

BzznBea

I just saw the end.

10:54 am

hokie carla

almost over here but tied

11:02 am

hokie carla

11:13 am

hokie carla

what a great match!

11:14 am

BzznBea

It was a good match.

12:21 pm

hokie carla

back with lunch...no one has asked for any help (which in turn helps me 🤣) while I was gone??

12:32 pm

Gillie

darn - doesn't take seacow

12:37 pm

cybernan

good moring/afteroon everyone :)

12:38 pm

cybernan

I tried that too, Gillie

12:38 pm

hokie carla

hey nan and gillie

12:38 pm

BzznBea

I have 32 left.

12:39 pm

cybernan

there are two 6 c compounds with a bovine component apparently ut I've only foud one

12:39 pm

hokie carla

I saw an overhead pic recently of a springs in FL that had a bazillion manatees hanging out

12:39 pm

BzznBea

How's the shoulder, nan?

12:39 pm

hokie carla

I only found one too, nan. maybe bea can elaborate on the other.

12:40 pm

BzznBea

one is the dessert and one is a vegetable

12:40 pm

BzznBea

The last three letters, that is.

12:40 pm

cybernan

still getting sore at times if I move the wrong way. I did apparently fracture the ball part of the joint, so it will be a while.

12:41 pm

hokie carla

so you're saying the one you helped me with earlier is not 💩 but is a dessert?

12:41 pm

hokie carla

oh, haha

12:41 pm

hokie carla

(haha to bea, not to nan)

12:42 pm

cybernan

ty bea - haven't seen the veggie one before - wonder if there is a def.

12:43 pm

BzznBea

I'm glad they caught the fracture. I went months with an undiagnosed fractured heel follwoing a fall that broke the ankle.

12:43 pm

hokie carla

so is it bovine + veggie or the whole word is a veggie

12:44 pm

BzznBea

Thats what they call black eyed peas in the south

12:44 pm

hokie carla

my mom broke her shoulder a few years ago. that was rough. hope it heals well, nan.

12:44 pm

BzznBea

Yes, bovine + veg

12:44 pm

hokie carla

oh, I was trying to make that veggie but going the wrong direction

12:45 pm

cybernan

yes - at least I know what I have to do for the next little while. The fracture will never heal though -- just have to give the reduction time to settle and hope it doesn't dislocate again. If it does I will need surgery to fix it.

12:46 pm

BzznBea

My mom is in the process of getting a new shoulder.

12:46 pm

cybernan

I hope she does well with it, bea

12:47 pm

BzznBea

Thanks, nan. I hope so as well.

12:49 pm

hokie carla

me too

12:50 pm

BzznBea

Thanks, Carla. I was hoping I could get my brother to come help with post surgery.

12:51 pm

cybernan

is it her dominant side?

12:51 pm

hokie carla

how old is she now?

12:51 pm

BzznBea

Yes, it is her dominant side. She is 85.

12:51 pm

BzznBea

She had her right one replaced 15 years ago.

12:52 pm

hokie carla

is she right handed? so this is the 2nd one?

12:53 pm

cybernan

the biggest problem for her will be getting dressed and undressed. At least that is what I am finding. That and trying to do things with the other hand -- like buttering bread. You may laugh but try it -- not easy unless you are ambidexterous, which I certainly am not.

12:53 pm

BzznBea

She is a tough old bird and I think the rehab will go fine.

12:54 pm

hokie carla

yeah, I had shoulder surgery on my right one, so I know it is hard to do things!

12:54 pm

BzznBea

I can imagine, nan. I can't use my non dominant hand at all.

12:54 pm

cybernan

watch your language, bea - lol. She probably doesn't like being described as a tough old bird (especially the old part!) I can attest to that!

12:55 pm

BzznBea

LOL!

12:57 pm

hokie carla

bea, have you finished the A's?

12:57 pm

cybernan

I overheard a nursing calling me that when I was in the EU - I was not impressed.

12:58 pm

hokie carla

I keep wanting argile to be an alt sp

12:58 pm

hokie carla

LOL, nan

12:58 pm

cybernan

tried that one also

12:58 pm

BzznBea

The top A is finished. Need three on the other.

12:58 pm

cybernan

2 and 3 for me

12:58 pm

hokie carla

I need 2 up top if you have a guess. only one on the lower

12:59 pm

BzznBea

2 ag5

12:59 pm

cybernan

both of you are ahead of me

1:00 pm

hokie carla

I'm 3 hours ahead of you

1:00 pm

cybernan

- mm Just have the active one

1:00 pm

hokie carla

I have both those.

1:00 pm

BzznBea

Sorry, that it the bottom A.

1:00 pm

hokie carla

one is on shoelaces, nan

1:00 pm

hokie carla

I learned that watching Phineas & Ferb with the boys

1:01 pm

cybernan

ty -- thought that was an ai 6

1:01 pm

BzznBea

3 AC 2 AE and 2 AU

1:01 pm

hokie carla

I think that's an alt sp of it, nan

1:01 pm

hokie carla

aha, I need 2 AC

1:02 pm

hokie carla

duh

1:02 pm

cybernan

ty - missed the ae's Just need 2 fromthe lower a now

1:03 pm

hokie carla

ar5/6 is my guess

1:04 pm

cybernan

missed the plural there - so down to one

1:04 pm

hokie carla

no def and I'm not sure I've ever seen it. just typed it desperately.

1:04 pm

hokie carla

are you talking about the ar5 plural that doesn't have a singular?

1:05 pm

cybernan

no the ar 6 plural

1:05 pm

hokie carla

well there's a babblet that looks pl

1:06 pm

cybernan

have al x6, ar x3, au x2

1:06 pm

hokie carla

ok, you're caught up to me then

1:07 pm

BzznBea

there are two ae

1:08 pm

hokie carla

I think we all have the top gray now

1:08 pm

cybernan

oh and ag x2

1:08 pm

cybernan

just realized the au's come from the top

1:11 pm

hokie carla

still a lot of tiles with a lot of words left.

Need to change over laundry.

1:13 pm

hokie carla

1:13 pm

hokie carla

oh, I forgot I was going to start laundry. thanks, bea.

1:14 pm

cybernan

anyone want to guess my missing n word?

1:16 pm

Gillie

Well, it's bound to be an no4 - maybe the Scottish word?

1:16 pm

Gillie

(there is one no5 - a plural)

1:16 pm

cybernan

it was a plural that makes no sense at all

1:17 pm

cybernan

right col. grey and with that I am taking a break :)

1:17 pm

Gillie

the only no5 is extremely ordinary

1:18 pm

cybernan

it was an no4

1:18 pm

Gillie

oh - opposite to yeses

1:22 pm

hokie carla

well, I wouldn't have guessed that one if I were here

1:22 pm

cybernan

no - not that one either

1:23 pm

hokie carla

oh, the heres and

1:23 pm

cybernan

the one to do with time

1:23 pm

Gillie

oh - sorry, I see which one you mean

1:23 pm

cybernan

*poof*

1:24 pm

Gillie

for some reason, I try that one automatically without thinking about it

1:33 pm

Gillie

the gl6 causes me trouble every time

1:37 pm

hokie carla

is that the plural butt muscles? that's the one I just found about 20 min ago.

1:38 pm

Gillie

yes

1:51 pm

swmbo

Hello. Surprised Ugli is not accepted in Babble. Pretty common fruit.

1:52 pm

hokie carla

I agree, I usually try it but did not give in today

2:17 pm

BzznBea

I'm back. We decided to get out for a walk since it is a bit warmer today. Since we don't have Q, we haven't been getting our exercise.

2:27 pm

mkg

Well not seeing it at all.

2:27 pm

mkg

I dont have either gl 7 either. So clues welcome

2:29 pm

BzznBea

One of the gl7 holds paste

2:30 pm

BzznBea

The gl6 is the slang you had with two vowels added at the end.

2:30 pm
