good morning all
ks killed. They were brutal.
Hi all
*hugs Liz* Hello dear friend, how are you and your beloved today?
We're fine thanks - did you have a lovely time with Caya?
we did! It was wonderful to see her again and hug her. Worth driving 7 hours for :)
I'm glad about that - it is a long drive.
But I bet she really appreciated her time with you.
yeah it was. But so worth it. Tim decided to join us and that was a big surprise for Caya. She stocked up on hugs, grin, from all of us, and cuddles from Terra. We went out for dinner and that was great too. Lovely food and we had such fun.
Sounds really great.
Not liking this grid - and definitely not the ks.
it was. And not one bad moment all day, no flare-ups with Tim at all. Very harmonious.
Awesome - it is too soon to say that Tim's growing up?
the ks were really brutal. Not one over 5 and still tough, ugh.
no, I think it is not too soon to say it. He is growing up. Much easier to be with, and when something comes up, we can discuss it normally. I am so grateful we stuck with it and didn't give up on him/us together.
That's good to hear.
53 words and nothing over a 5 :(
I hear ya! I have 62 and managed to find 4 6s. And no 7s at all yet.
you need to go back to school (clue)
hiya ursh :)
hi all
Thanks, Ursh, looking.
Oooh! Found a 6
probably not relush... hmmmm
No but I did try that.
yay Liz!
found it! Thanks ursh!
extra clue, Liz: it is not a re word
Thanks
Got to go - busy week and also need something to eat after the gym.
Hugs, Sprite and thanks for the clues, both of you.
have a lovely evening, Liz, and a peaceful night. *hugs* to you both
Strange that it took so long to find my old profession - something ironic about that! Really going now.
*giggles* a repressed memory!
two of the 7s are compounds. I always have trouble spotting those, sigh
brb
Word blind this morning - only just seen ot5 staring at me!
hiya spellit! Yeah it is a tough grid.

Hi kids.
Hello
Hello across the pond.
Sunshine but cool and new flowers every day
lugs
Free clue.
ty Scrabbs - hi to all
hello all
How about the right-hand l?
Hello Aloy
Hi Aloy and Owl
Hi TO
nm, monkeyed it
hi ruby
stats for that l, ruby? my monkeys aren
aren't awake
I have filled the house with cut flowers, to cheer myself up -- and it woks!
li 6/27
good idea
And the first tulips opened since yesterday but I stillneed fire on cold mornings
ty Luv, looking
let me know if you want a clue Aloy
We have another dark, rainy day here, but I will shop for my mother, visit her, visit with my sister, and see my little nephews.
The li was clued earlier, but it made no sense until I fooled around with the letters
something to do with common ocen bird, sort of
monkey woke up, got it, ty
ocean*
Stat and clue, Aloy, please?
hester prynne's epitaph: "on a field sable, the letter A, ****s."
is what gets added to the li
I've been binge-wattching The Good Wife on Neflix; it's totally addictive -- and long!
what in the world are you cluing?
the li6, you add my clue to the li
Hm, what would Hester's letter A do on a tombstone?
li 6.27 : li + don't pop your chewing **m or you must **ave the room
i did that rather clumsily
haha, hurshy
it's about the color of her A, old fashioned word that we don't use anymore
TY, Aloy. My monkey would NEVER have found that word.
And I never would have guessed that word, hurshy.
it just, was memorable to me from high school.
WHAT is about the color of her A?
yw
the word that you fill in the asterisks in my clue with
never mind. chances are i have it already.
it's the li6 so if you have that then yes
Isn't it funny what sticks in our brains. I am visual-spatial, so I retain images/diagrams.
did everyone get the mean neighbor lady from Wizard of Oz (movie)?
I did now.
The only thing I remember from high school is "keep george's comb out of fat peter's scalp"
What?
and what is that a mnemonic for?
no, tht's wrong "keep peter's comb out of fat george's scalp"
it seems like the kingdom phylum class but all out of order
now that makes sense
lol ruby
i rarely get those clues. i think it's funny what people think are obvious.
kingdom phylum class order family genus species (which I had to remember to get the mnemonic right!
I wonder how many of us missed ot 5/12 as the first word they added?
it's not that i thought that my clue was obvious, TO, it's just it was exciting to me to connect it with that memory. got carried away.
I was almost perfect in algebra but now can barely add and subtract
funny is not the right word. interesting is more like it
fascinating, even
i did a bunch at the flip and was hoping it would be easier to see the rest now but i'm not getting much more.
time to do some work. the gym is a late hour today
be owl
bye
oops
small goals met, time to feed the fish
hurshy, how many words do you have left?
i just started anmd got 106 on my own but am slowing down

The original "feeders" are 10-12" long
I am just getting started but that is awesome hurshy

Hi Y'all

Yum! ty Aloy!
yw, hope you like pimiento cheese
Yes!

i am not liking this grid much (not enough Es), so I am consoling myself with the bagel...
*passes out breath mints for the chat*
going to the list now, 40 left and I have some actual - eek - work to get done today
I was at my bagel shop yesterday and, instead of my usual (Poppy or Sesame), I started eyeing a sweet looking Blueberry, until, out of the corner of my eye, I caught sight of the Super Onion. Yowza.
ooh, no bagel shops around here - wish there were!
I love cinnamon raisin.
really?
I thought my scallion cream cheese would have been a bridge too far.
We have great bagel shops.
you have the BEST bagel shops hego
howdy ru
*biting my tongue*... ;o)
yes, Ru, I know. Bagel purists do not care for cinnamon.
sorry NYC bagel shops are the best.. and the best Bialys too
No New York City has the best bagel places.
as a hater of crusts, i don't understand loving bagels
Snap!
I still miss H&H Bagels on 2nd Avenue and 82nd Street in the city.
evan, you need to try some different bagels
H&H is awesome!
I don't eat them often.. but I do love bagels
i will eat the panera cinnamin crunch ones
bagel envy -
:D
ewwww....
NYC bagels smear the competition
Don't you mean schmear?
yes
they have the competition all lox-ed up
Hah!
gag me with a spoon....with cream cheese on it... ;o)
I like mine mit a schmear and a toe-motto.
open sesame penquis :D
:oP
bagel puns earn a groan and a half ru - so far
:)
man this grid is frustrating
i need a break....bbl to find my last 45....i will leave you all to the frustrating grid...
struggling over ca4.6, - sad indeed
Bialystock und Bloooooom

Must go. bbl....
hagreat day, hego - ciao

anyone have the ga 5?
no ga5 - ga6 & 7 - old fashioned word for awkward or lacking social graces
oh..
thanks.
I was looking for a five
ruru....ga5 and 6 (the word is fresh for left/side or hand or page).
found the ho 7 a pastry for hookers
french not fresh(sorry)
thank you
I have it now
ho7 is a southern thing, folks -- I've heard about them all my life! :-)
horecak doesn't work, lol
LOL
can you describe it?
No bagels here or Jews for that matter . The nearest shul is about an hour away.
a cousin to cornbread :-)
<--misses NY food!!!
hey ruby!
or even Miami food
No bagel??? That was like central CT 50 years ago. And no Chinese
bonjour une
No decent Chinese (no Oriental people, either) food or sushi beyond tthe most basic
I guess the trade-off is view and garden
Move to Pais. Definitely bagels and Chinese there
that's Asian nowadays ruby
ruby, i used to get great omelettes in Paris at a Vietnamese restaurant on the Left Bank LOL
When I spent time in Paris, I learned to love Vietnamese food. Chinese and, later, sushi, were excellent, too.
<-- nver going back to Paris, much too scary now
i know . . . pretty scary in London as well
Aside from the awful food, I love my backwater village
:-)
paris is scary?
terrorists
Very!
Terrorists and thousands of people sleeping in the Streets plus polluted
At this stage of things, nothing would get me into a train station or airport or onto a plane
back in the day it was the SOUTH of France that was considered dangerous because of all the north African immigrants . . .
my daughter's boyfriend recently spent 2 weeks with an anthropologist buddy of his in Ethiopia-- I was so glad when he got back safely!
I refuse to live in fear over stupid terrorists
Now it's bad all over; my doctor-friend told me of a recent anti-semitic attack in Aix-les-Bains (where the shul is) and losts of eastern Europà ean Jeews who settled there after WW2
phew - fw finally, challenging grid! Babble on! Must go - great chatting with you all, poof
well look where you live, ru! LOL
lots*
it's like moi -- not a lot of terrorist attacks in Nashville!
indeed, ruby -- really shocking to hear about all the anti-semitism in France :-(
tawny bad country music is like a terrorist attach sometimes :D
twangy. (autorcorrect)
I loved Paris when I was younger, lived for a while near the old Bibliothèque Ntionale and 5 months in Boulogne-Billancourt
Maybe they don't like Country Music Une.
LOL
I like the idea of tawny music
taught at the Berlitz School in Paris for 2 years . . . so very different back then . . .
crap.. I gotta go
bye
Which arondisement was that, Une?
bye ru
we trained near the Opera but I taught in Neuilly
i need to run some errands -- back in a bit -- a tout a l'heure!
When we spent the summer in the 9th, I used to get my mail at American Express, pushing the stroller
1964
ruby, what year did you graduate from Queens College
oh, and before teaching at Berlitz I worked close to a year as au pair for an American family near the Eiffel Tower, avenue Charles Floquet -- probably not far from where you were, ruby (1970)
ok really leaving now -- byeee

*Imagines wee Evan wondering who AEB is when Eva hugs him for her
he tends to like people, so i dont think he would mind. :)
I just got the ho7 and I'm afraid to look it up.
It's not the kind of ho you are thinking of. Think garden hoe
I guess only us southern folk have heard of ho7s.
new to me too...is it similar to the pan- variety?
I've heard of it before. I'd just forgotten it. I'm not southern; I've just lived in Texas so long I'm starting to forget myself. :)
Hello everyone
The ho variety has a cornmeal texture. Imagine the pa variety with added cornmeal. And Texas? Y'all eat chili and tacos down that way.
We do. We're more southwestern than southern.
I have ga, gi, ho, and te 7; can anyone tell me what I'm missing?
lu7
Thank you! I'm never good at the compounds and vowels.
lu 7, pls
LU7 = lu* nut + type of boat

LU7 = lu* nut + type of boat.....boat uses wind...
