*hugs flosey*
not too bad. still a bit weepy. leaving any more spring cleaning until after the weekend. have taken endone and valium, washed down with a glass of wine.
good girl. *extra hugs* for the weepiness. Try to pace yourself in the cleaning, hun, it will be better for you in the long run.
good morning Sprite and hi there Rose
don and i have agreed to do our bed sitter bit by bit. i did get all the washing done, and with our lovely warm, sunny forecast i am hoping it will all come in tomorrow smelling of sunshine.
hello dear4est flosey.
very good. Much better to do it together and in stages.
ugh, all those -ly phantoms
lol rose, is that forest flosey? we do, in fact have quite a forest of trees up the hill behind us - cedars and alders
*giggles* I love it, 4est flosey
haha you two. so lo4 as you can see the funny side, all is good.
that is one of our talents, grin. No matter what, we can always find something to laugh about.You too, rose.
*chachacha's through babble and takes rose with her, dances a circle around flosey*
nah, i am stomp girl.... especially on metal drain covers. they make a fantastic noise.
lol :D Goooooo girrrrrrl! Let them hear you exist!
FCday was awesome, rose. And Rob was very glad he was present for my constellation. It was inspiring and very touching. Also very special to have him with me. And on our special day too... a friday 13th :)
oh sprite. how wonderful to share that special time. hugs for you both. xoxox
will write you more about it in a few days.
will look forward to reading about it, honey.
:) It is always a pleasure to share with you.
I am gonna do a cuppa with rob. Back later. *hugs* to you both, rose and flosey, and one for don too.
perhaps i'll see you laer, darling. meanwhile, pour one for me, and give Rob my love and hugs.
I'll be off to bed now, too tired, bb in the morning, good night all
sweetest of dreams and rest dear flosey. xoxox

ty. got the bo words.
ey8. plural of ey7. sight organ + lightening ****, flash of light in thunder storm

yw mkg
thanks Rose
sagy
so sorry. a freebie for you... lolll
ty!!
and now, truly off to bed, good night all
*giggle* darling flosey. i hope you can sleep. xoxox
Morning. Not seeing that 'not fresh' bit of the bo7 - 8 combo - can I have a nudge please?
Hi Matty. Think juvenile detention centre.
That did it, Liz! Thanks!
Yw. Perhaps that’s a Brit term?
Think so, yes. I'd never heard it until I came over here (almost 30 years ago - crikey)
I figured you’d been in the UK long enough to know the word.
It’s not used here either, I don’t think.
May I have stats for the i (i as in india?)
Ig 6/7
Got it - thanks!
😊
BBL
back, shopping done, rob and terra off to canoeing and camping out, a lazy two days ahead for me :)
Helo, Sprite. Hope you are well?
Two more tiles to do on the first run then off to see parents.
*hugs zooz* Hello dear man. Yes, I am fine. How about you, and how are your parents holding up?
We are all trying to get over a cold. It has been just over two weeks now but we are getting there!
Of course they had the flu jab then we got colds..typical!
ah, that is nasty. Glad the end is in sight. Yeah, the flu jab is just for specific flu viruses. Common colds and other flus are not covered, alas.
Still at least it is nothing serious but I do worry for my elderly parents when they get things like this as it takes so long for them to get back to some sort of normality.
that is the rub, isn't it. They just don't recover as fast as they used to, and it takes them more energy. I understand your being worried.
Supposed to be getting in the 70s for the next few days! Hope you will be getting the high temps too!
they are predicting them for us here too. Rob and Terra have gone camping and canoeing, might be the last beautiful weekend in a while. I will be at home, enjoying very quiet me-time. Might go sit in the garden for aspell
for a spell*
Nice! Glad you will be getting some YOU time. so important for recharging the batteries!
it is! And all too rare, in a family like ours. Caya will come home on Monday for a few days, am so glad to see her again.
It is good that she still comes back to the roost so to speak. Bet you have the room all ade up and ready! Are you doing anything nice together for the few days? Or just going to chill out?
Made*
chill out, no doubt. She's had a couple of very intensive months at the uni. She is ready for a bit of couch potato stuff.
Good for her!
How is your son doing?
she is my hero, lol. She is doing so well.
Hang ono just got to scare the bloody crows off my roof!!
Tim is doing great as well. My other hero. He works in a restaurant/bar, irregular schedule but it fits him.
*whistles theme of The Birds by Hitchcock*
Back..lol Sorry about that.
hey, real life comes first. No sorry necessary.
Yeah working in a restaurant is hard work for sure. Glad he is getting his feet in the work zone though. Bet it has calmed him down a bit.
it definitely has. He is maturing before our very ey4. About time, grin. We are proud of him.
I was told from day one to save as much of my earnings as possible. Glad I did.
That is great to hear, Sprite!!
told him the same thing a thousand times. But he is not listening. And he is old enough now to make his own wrong decisions, so I stay out of it.
Yes they have to learn there own way. And you are right they will make mistakes..we all did. No matter how much we try and steer them. But hey he will get there I am sure :-)
oh yes, he will. In all areas that really count, he is doing well. Friends, family, girlfriend, job. He is happy.
Shows you have been great parents! Glad both your young adults are doing well, Sprite!
don't know about that, but we did the best we could. Thanks zooz!
Trust me form what you have told me over the years they are doing just great. Good job to both of you. Now the icing on the cake is for one of them to make millions and make your life as comfortable as possible!!
ooooo I'd like that :D
Although money is not everything but it certainly helps LOL
enough money to make life go smoothly, not so much that you have to worry about it.
Exactly!
Well I still have 105 words to find but they will have to wait until later. Nice to catch up with you, Sprite!
lovely to have chat with you, zooz. Have a good day and the best with your parents.
Morning peeps

Hello. Is anybody here?
First run-through 189 words but now l'm stuck
Nobody here but us nobodies : D
You'rre definitely the best nobody!
Now I have Emily Dickenson running through my head
Why Emily Dickinson? l don't know that poem if that is the "nobodyt" reference
I'm nobody! Who are you? Are you nobody, too? Then there's a pair of us — don't tell! They'd banish us, you know. How dreary to be somebody! How public, like a frog To tell your name the livelong day To an admiring bog!
Thank you for that
I'm sure l read itt in some previous life
l am totally spoiled today: friends to walk dogs, cut grass, rake leaves, deliver lunch, pick apples, and the weather is perfect -- chilly at night, warm in the afternoon
Sounds like a lovely day, enjoy
<-- very Lucky and happy
Counting your blessings is a good place to be
Yes
And an old friend from Miami is arriving tomorrow
That sounds like fun. It is nice to catch up with old friends.

is ey8 a compound word?
I'm sure a lot of people are puzzled that blog is not a word. It isn't. It is an abbreviation for web log.
i tried maltese but that is a no go too
It is like Norse. I think they are considered proper nouns.
that could be

sorry bich, not quite awake here I guess, I got all mixed up there

I don't get it
you usually see that word with "per" in front of it.

If you go to morewords and put in persu_____ you will get the word. It is action form of the word you just posted

My phantom orgasm. Hi all
Glad to see you're okay. My San Mateo son and family are in Amsterdam and are dreading back to smoke filled air
Ty bich. It is pretty awful in the bay area. Have to wear masks
Oh, and here I was thinking I was the only one seeing the phantom: orgasm
Thinking of my assthmatic grandchildren
re 7/28, pls
It is usually easier for women to see phantom orgasms isn't it?
Indeed. And seeing orgasm as a phantom word in the gird beats seeing witzelsucht, hands down. : P
Lol
An effort to make you laugh, Ru. I know you are going through tough stuff.
Watch witzsucht shows up in tomorrow's grid
I am coping molly. Things are improving in napa. The tubbs fire is the scary one now and the mount veeder fire. They look to be deadly as it they are moving too fast
It is frightening when you home and your livelihood is threatened by something as destructive as fire. I'm glad you are safe and that is the most important thing. The other things can be rebuilt.
*Your home
Bless the fire dept they are keeping the fire away from town. It was trying to jump the trail and river to get to our side
Not sure what I will do if my house does burn up
The fire fighters battling this awful fire deserve all kinds of credit. They are heroes.
Some have worked four days straight
They are bringing in firemen from as far away as australia and mexico and canada
I am in awe of people who risk their lives to save other people and property.
The news showed that many of the firemen's home went up while they were saving others homes
Sorry so hard to type on my phone
I'm glad you are safe, Ru. I hope you don't lose your house.
It's wonderful that there are trained firefighters - in the 1950s a classmate of mine was with her family going to California for a vacation - they were stopped, and her father and uncle were put to fighting a fire, while she and her mother and grandmother were put to cooking for the firefighters! It's was hard on the vacationers of course, but it can't have been really good firefighting either.
clue for the i? either one?
to not pay any attention to someone
ig 6 and 7
thx phaeton
yw
"put to"...never heard that phrase before. Must be Canadian.
last
is lickety down? that's a bummer
and here i was about to give up and do lickety
Lickety is up
hmm, it's not loading for me
If you are getting yesterday's clue list, hit CNTRL+ F5
no, I just can't reach the page
site times out
I'll restart my browser
Hope you have virus and malware control on your computer. That sounds like a problem.
same with me, lickety not coming up
I cannot get the page to come up either. I have turned off and come back in and it still won't come up.
I do
it says DNS cannot be found
yeah, same
I have all the virus and security programs and it is not coming upp.
Any other suggestions?
I had Lickety up earlier, was working fine, just came back in and not able to refresh clues
it's definitely not a virus, it must be something on lickety's end if many of us are having trouble
that was not more than an hour ago (estimating)
I guess we will have to list what we have and go from there.
It came up for me okay
I am missing a 7. Stats? I have bi7/36, bo7/36, ey7/44, ig7/36, ne7/28, ob7/36, re7/36, sa7/28, si7/36 x2, su7/32, ta7/28
ooo, lickety is up now
oh nevermind, it works again! yay!
It just came up for me, too
It just came up for me, too
st6/21?
What is your marital status****?
oops
hahahah luv, thx anyway
Or a sign of wealth is a st**** symbol
Whoa auto fill got me
If Lickety is not coming up for you when it is up for everyone else, I would suggest using a different browser. If you are using Internet Explorer...don't. It is the worst browser available.
Mael, the best way to find your missing 7 is to check the list.
i use chrome, never use IE -- i build websites IE was the worst
yeah, molly, now that I have the list :)
it didn't work in chrome or firefox for me, it must have been a server hiccup earlier
Oh, you people are talking about Expert. If that doesn't work, try using the regular list, link at the bottom of this page.
no, it was lickety's list that wasn't loading for most people. it's fine now.
Okay, I read Flosey's post below about not being able to refresh clues and thought it was Expert.
2nd ma5/12

I'm not the Queen of clues. Glad it helped!
I am not exactly an expert at it ether though sometimes I think I do a better job at clueing then I do trying to finish a grid
You never know what's going to jog a person's mind. It's totally worth it to try.
that's for sure and I do:)
each of us bringd a different bunch of experiences to the clues - i never get the ones that give singers/actors names - know nothing of modern songs or any films

No, not slang. It's the accepted word.
su7?
Ok...will keep looking
and bi7?
were run by HM Prison Service and were intended to reform seriously delinquent young people. The word is sometimes used loosely to apply to other kinds of youth institution or reformatory, such as Approved Schools and Detention Centres. The court sentence was officially called "bo 7 training" - Quote from google
bi 7 - if you live in 2 areas of the USA you might be a bi 7er
having to do with 2 out the US 50

Back for my last 184.
hi...
Hi Penquis. Babbler nrkii has been in Maine for the last week. I think she usually stays on Deer Isle.
nice....i had a friend from Maryland here on Thursday....she was in Acadia on Friday....really enjoyed it...
I miss Acadia very much. We didn't get to explore the entire island.
there is a lot on the island....
So many places to paddle and to hike.
yes, to be sure...
Clues for the bottom L, please?
And the i, please?
le 4/6...
le 4/4...
le 4/4 again...
I thought I already typed that in. TY.
The le4/4, I mean.
the i is ig 6/7.... to not pay attention to...
TY.
yw...
I typed those le4/4 this morning, I thought.
I finished all of my on call notes so now I can relax.
cool...
i have 64 to find...
151 for me and I am not seeing much, which is of course totally ridiculous.
Do you have the 8's?
i have one..
it's a plural and a compound word....ey 8/60...
a compound i have never heard of... ;o)
I found it on Morewords. TY. Some piece of hardware, I guess.
that was my guess...
bo 7 and 8 = We are bo*n on our birth date + It's no fun f your car ****ls (the engine dies)
evening pen & Scrabbs! I can clue for a bit if needed
hi....
I passed halfway and found the 8's so I am happy now. But we can help penquis to finish.
ty, scrabs....got it...
how about bi 6?
also a compound. life + not solid or liquid
TY
ty....
ma 6 (the first one)?
ma6/27= to degrade, criticize
ty....
how about su 7?
Crystal Blue Persu7
To try to change someone's mind, to pull them to your side, is the at of persu*****.
ty...i am done...
Yay! Now I can go to bed. See you tomorrow, penquis.
goodnight...
hello all - don't think I have time to finish this one!
i dont get that clue for su 7....
i got the word but i dont believe it is a real word.
A's done. 88 left. ugh. wont finish.
i have 188 left. i prefer small puzzles.
my goal is to get half way or more. with small ones sometimes i finish. so adjust goals if it is large.
that makes sense.
or try to get 100 words a day unless grid is less.
many goals are doable if properly set.
b' done and gnight all
ob 7 any hints?
i am working on the o words myself, maggie
ob7, plural of ob6. ob + not early
thanks granny!
fireworks!
WTG LESLIEANN!!!!
