TY, DTins, and hello all.
nice clue, TY DTins. Hello all
Hi lynxxx.
100 down and I must get ready for work. Enjoy the day.
good morning. 197 down first go round.
help with pa9/10 pls
GAhhhhhhh! Why don't the big ones come on the weekend when I have time to enjoy them!
PA 9/10 - the different factors (parts) of a situation
I'm going to kick myself, I suspect, when I finally find that bad boy
it's twisty. great clue, teach.
Nope, not seeing it. Maybe I'll see it later when after a break
The singular can be called a compound. First work "non pro" and the second a unit of measurement,
Yep, I am kicking myself
Thanks
tyty
If I'd looked for the letters, I wouldn't have gotten it. Took a stab at the meaning. Too twisty!
If I hadn't insisted in my head of pronouncing the first four letters as the first part of 'chute, I'd have had more luck, I suspect
:)
Hiyas, kiddos!
Woof. Chunky grid today.
Everyone has dived to the bottom to search for words.
Judi do you recommend weight watchers for the grid?
Might be a good idea, Ru.
I have 4 boxes blacked out.
Uh huh
Some things you just can't make up. Got a bulletin here at the police station this a.m. Missing 17 year old male from a nearby town. Name: Jihad Islam Mohammed.
Who reported it? His sister Fatwa?
Ha! His mother - who had a very American name.
Either he chose the name himself, or his father named him. How brainless. Let's name the kid so he gets put on every watch list and no-fly list on the planet.
Yes he might be stuck at the TSA right now
He has since been found, however, it was reported that he had taken an unknown drug and was "in an altered mental state".
What are we talkiing about now?
In all fairness, until I've had my coffee, I'm in an altered mental state.
I'm sorry for asking for a 4, but, ba 4/7, the second one. I'll probabl slap myself
Name that proper noun: Greek messenger of the Gods. Also a chic line of scarves.
hermes
Hermes
Ba4: B + an appendage.
...my second ba4/7 ... b+ limb with hand on the end
Ding! Ding! Ding! Bichon. You win a photograph of a very expensive scarf.
that' s the third
ty Judi
Oops. Doseffing beat you to the buzzer, Bichon. Sorry.
Sob
that's okay ... my wife would hate any scarf that I presented her with ... even though she'd like it if you gave it to her
Well, crap. Then I'm missing a Ba4.
I'm defenitly not a fashionista
b+ software tools you put on your phone
Yeah - that one.
tyvm dose
time to go ... ... sunny skies and luck to all

Can I get a clue for idiots for the De8/50? Not familiar with the brown sugar.
I googled that about the brown sugar and no idea
it is like a county in Ireland
start with the de4/6 and add something not usual with a different vowel on the end
* tumbles into abyss of confusion*
agrees with Judi
I don't have a de 4/6 yet

does the pa 9/10 start with pa 4/5 meaning half?
yes mlfan.
pa4/5 yes, but that doesn't mean half...
it is two words combined.
its just my association with that word I used when describing my disability sometimes I apologize but it has other meanings I know:)
what disability? (don't have to answer if that's too personal)
I am in a wheelchair I have Spina Bifida
so you mean 'paraplegic' ?
yes
still don't know the pa 9/10?
ah. wow, it's funny how you can talk to someone for years online and never know such things.
or if they are telling you the truth or not which I am:)
ends with a European "yard" ... or ... with a measuring device
ok, clue: i want you to invent a device that does such-and-such, here are the pa10: it must be smaller than a breadbox, use no more power than a toaster, and be safe for children to use.
thanks dos and hurshy!

Toodle pips, Doseffing. Have a great day.
you probably need all the various spellings of the yiddish word for stuff you put on a bagel...
How many do you have, Hursh? I've five....are there any more?
mmm, i have five too - felt like more when i was putting them in, lol
but there are also two other yiddish words
the spellings of a sort of insulting term for a person
Have them now, thank to you - thanks (initially looked for the one that tickled me when I learned German - it means 'jewellry' in German. Not quite so polite in Yiddish)
Also found a word with the same starting three letters that is a phoneme in English (upside down e, I think)
Schmuck is not in the grid?
halfway!
Either is schmendrik
and nbt. but no 9/10
nor gesundheit
cr 7/36, pls
pt of cr6/21

Yep, that was the one I meant (though it's not in the grid) - but I wanted it to be

Hi all! Can we save this one for Sunday?
i wish!
playability of old grids has always been top of everyone's wishlist

Welcome & congrats!
nice going hursh
Congrats...
Taking a break...bbl to finish....

I think warboat should be a word -- if you can have a warship -- why not?
a boat, generally speaking, is small enough to be carried aboard a larger vessel, and a vessel large enough to carry a smaller one is a ship.
too small for war use, except for a lifeboat, in the strict sense
yeah -- well that is true, but enable takes no mind of anything else that makes sense.
back for my last 59...maybe
that seems often the case

No...you don't. Makeup is NOT necessary. Burgers and martinis are!
well car,it's like this. i do, and since i am single, i always do. you never know.
if he doesn't like you without makeup...not worth it! But martinis and burgers are! :P
first impressions are important. and i would feel more confident.

(I know, I know. I would too.)
I'm on the way! (I wish!)

Exactly...so off you go!

thought I was good getting all those sc words but still missed 2

I have 7 and I'm afraid to ask how many there are.
lets just say you need to double that
arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Lickety's List will clue you in to how many of a certain word group you need.
oh really
Yes, it's very helpful
smh
Why are you smacking your head Lil. I was just trying to lend a hand when words were asked for.
never mind, and it's shaking, not smacking.
enough already
snarkiness be gone
Why is it snarky to answer a question about how many sc words there are?
Stating the obvious.
Who made you the expert advisor?
No one made me the expert adviser. I was just trying to lend a hand for how to determine how many of a certain word group there is. Sorry.
THanks so much for your help.
Good evening, all
Hi
Evening all. May I please have a clue for
sc7-40 the 1st? Thannks
Morning all - funny how the time varies in different countries - yes, I know I'm stating the obvious :)

Hi Liz : D
Hi Molly
Sorry, Liz, I don't have the 2nd one yet. Thanks anyway.
They both mean the same thing - yiddish words - spreading cream cheese on a bagel

You can do it mool. I have 200 left yet. :-/
yoiks
153 left here
need something from the E at the top in the last column
arabian ruler/s
also a bruise
I don't try to finish the grids anymore; too much other things going on (or going wrong) to worry about finishing the grid.
yeah, I don't finish that many
aha, got the bruise one at least
IDK, mool; if I see you here, you often finish the moderate sized grids I think
monkeyed based on the clue for the arabian ruler/s too, thanks!
(here I am, an old RN, & I can't even think of another word for a bruise that starts with an E!)
how about pulmonary ed***
i guess it isn't exactly a bruise but somehow I figured it out lol
Thank YOU firefly! I would never have thought of that myself!
my pleasure
(I was thinking contusions, scrapes abrasions, etc. To me, ed5 means fluid retention, heart failure, pulmonary ed5; increased intracranial pressures, etc.
you're right, and I have no idea how I figured it out lol
Wow, firefly; I just read your story. I'm glad you had good news in January!
sorry about that nef, trying to watch hockey at the same time
No problem, mool; my problem is that my old school nurse brain jumps to all sorts of bad things; not the easy ones.
phew just finished the Rs. domo arigato, mr. ra6
done :)
hagn
If Nef is still here, sorry, family called me away, but thanks for reading my story! I am a survivor!
And wow, what a slow chog tonight
I'm about to give up on this grid agh
