hahaha, hursh, just saw your six hawaiian geese comment!!! :D
:)
sp7/8
and why so crappy? (((hugs)))
in7-8
hello everyone :)
the first semester was rough. couple of parents unhappy with some changes i made in teaching. my self-confidence - well, i don't really HAVE much self-confidence to begin with, so this pushes it severely negative. but i'm also getting divorced and moving, which means i have to job hunt. i was updating my resume and just feeling like i totally suck and i don't know how i'm ever going to get through the next few months and i hate myself.
and don't tell me it doesn't make sense because i KNOW that and it doesn't help, i am still miserable with myself
ta7 x 3
an 7-8
well, crap, I totally understand then. More ((((((hugs)))))!!
An9 if not called.
thanks rbud
a lot of upheaval hurshy, but I think what you are doing takes a lot of courage, so go girl
so how do you do stuff that takes courage when you haven't got any courage
Clues are up
you already are!
yeah but i'm gonna fall apart before i finish
Sorry hursh. It really sucks when one is feeling so low. You will get through it one day at a time.
one step, one hour, one day at a time. Do you have family or friends nearby for support?
right now i'm with my sister but i fly back home tomorrow, where i don't have anybody. that's why i'm moving, to be close to family again.
good idea hurshy
It is good you will be with people who care about you!
off to bed -- see you tomorrow maybe -- kids arriving, so may be too busy for a couple of days.
in10
ty, jessmom
what are the stats for the lone E please?
hang in there, hurshy. we like you and want to keep you around. =)
en 4/5 I believe
yes, en4/5
yes, thanks
is the an9 related to the 7 & 8 or is it something else? something with the before prefix or the against prefix?
The Big Sn4 is still a favourite short cartoon of mine, all these years later. :)
I don’t think it’s related, hurshy. It has a prefix.
which prefix
Before
Sorry, no - against
ok thanks
got it
I wish there was another n or two

My phantom: Tennis. And spinneret
I tried spinneret too. Thanks for putting tennis on my retina as well :D
there's a stream behind the house here. Happily, high as it's gotten, it's not topped the valley it's in.
hi everyone.... yes sam we are a stalwart bunch and i like us..every one.....
spinnet is a type of piano. Hmph.

Hi peach. Hope you’re well.
Thanks much, Liz. I'm OK, just hanging on. Hope all is well with you and yours.
Keep on hanging on peach 😊. Yes thanks. All’s good here.
Thanks, hon. The weather is horrible here.....a week of rain is scheduled....not really cold but it seems that the rain just seeps into ones' bones. LOL
Keep warm and dry if you can. Please send some of the rain here. We had a couple of storms last weekend but we need more rain.
Seems like it's either feast or famine, so to speak. I do hope you will have some rain soon.
Thanks. I hope you have less than is forecast.
Perhaps the new year will bring us just what we need. I guess I'm the cock eyed optimist. LOL
Optimism is the best way to feel. Time for me to go.
Happy new year, if I don’t see you before.
And to you also.
May I please have a clue for te6-18 the 2nd? Thanks
((Gapeach)) Not sure if you are still here but I think it is A number + three different vowels.
DEf : A narrow fillet or headband for the hair.
No that is the third one the second one is a person who pays money to stay in a property.
Number + picnic pest.

Good morning, all. I believe the sun forgot to come up today. And... it's pouring rain.
Same here, judi...again, with the rain...
here too. It's december, how I long for some snow
I'll take the rain, thanks.
s-n-o-w: 4-letter word... :(
Name that proper noun: Where all the tallest mountains are.
Or, where all the best sherpas can be found.
Tibet
I was looking for Nepal
Ding! Ding! Ding! Bea wins a fully loaded yak.
" if we're talking sheer height here, base to summit, then the tallest mountain is Mauna Kea on the island of Hawaii."
but you're right about the "range"
I thought it had recently been revised to K2. But, that could be just the one that's completely above sea level.
And is Mauna Kea considered a mountain or a volcano (or both?)
I'll go ask the famous seer: krishnagoogle
LOL. Please do!
Poor Everest is probably now suffering ED.
FIVE taller: K2 (ding, ding), Mauna Kea (yes, it counts as a mountain) Chimborazo in Ecuador, Olympus Mons, on Mars
Mars doesn't count - separate planet.
any sherpas on Mars?
good morning all - melting here
Melting? Melting what? Snow?
I take it you're talking about base to top, rather than elevation? As Mauna Kea is only 4207m
yes
and something about the Marianas Trench, which if you put any one of those mountains in their peak would not reach the surface. Ha. I'll take the volcano and Ecuador, but the last two, uhn uh
13,678 ft.
Yes, jwr. I do recall reading (Nat Geo) that the Trench was deeper compared to anything rising above sea level. As long as we are taking a "deep dive" into this topic.
Oh, I'm sticking with Everest.
K2 is 28.651
I don't think anyone has gotten to the bottom of the Trench, though. Possibly via robotic sub, but not sure.
clue for the in 10 please?
You don't go to bad science fiction movies, do you?
I do. Just watched "The Meg" last night. What a ridiculous turd that was.
ah, back to babble-busienss
10 is nnnnnnnnen
Ha! Got it. No thanks to jwr's clue, tho.

The quality of the in 6/18

Had that clue on loch down
oh, ru's got it at his fingertips
doesn't take much this early in the morning!
sorry nan
yeah monster part was good
In this country ne4/4 also means a headland and our local one is called just the ne4/4
it's not a whole, though. It's just a tail.
ah, I know jaxx, but when it does this "essence of" bit, I can't help thinking of it as a suffix
And a beautiful country it is too.
Dis appearing under houses though.
corner e?
that's the way the world is going,... to the builders.
too soon it will be going under water if we don't get our act together
never mind found it
nbt
Our area depends on tourism and who is going to want to come and look at concrete? They can stay at home and see that.
not the beginning mlfan
are you in the moutains jaxx?
No, right by the sea on the English Channel.
an easy crossing then, What's your weather like?
It is dark, grey and misty. Not very uplifting.
FINISHED!! VERY EXCELLENT!
I love dark, grey and misty. San Francisco can get that way.
pure film noir
Thankfully people aren’t cemented in staying home and like to travel
YAH godthab
Yes, but not day after day. It makes me want to stay in bed.
where abouts on the channel, jaxx? We spent a wonderful week touring south of Salsbury and another near Eastbourne
uh oh, ruru's at it again: well it beats being a stick-in-the-mud
My sister lives in Salisbury, moved there just as the Novichok thing erupted - no link though. I live in South Devon in a seaside town called Teignmouth but, just to confuse everyone, pronounced Tinmouth
2nd pi 6 please?
nm - found
have you got the many ears with the Latin pl?
Isn’t that where canned laughter come from jaxx?
Undoubtedly, ru
I can't take this, I can't. I'm going to bed (after I ask Wiki about Teignmouth) g'nite all
nite jwr. sleep well.
oh, and thanks, jaxx -- didn't have the latin ending . ""snore""
s
Can’t take what?
loved salisbury -- stayed in an apartment hotel not far from the cathedral
It is a lovely city. Was quiet until recently, now it keeps being mentioned on the news. Jill, my sister, lives in sheltered housing about 5 minutes from the centre and considers the Cathedral her parish church.
Some idiot took a hammer to the copy of the Magna Carta that hangs in there.
there was a path through the wetlands behind the cathedral that led to a great restaurant that was housed in an old mill . We ate there a couple of times as it was a nice evening stroll from our apartment.
probably the same idiot that took a hammer to la pieta's toes
Next time I visit I will have to find it. Jill loves the New Forest which isn't that far away.
Someone let Trini Lopez out of the nuthouse
I don't understand these people at all. They must have no sense of history or heritage. Could be they just want to draw attention to themselves.
The path through the water meadow is the vantage point from which Constable painted the cathedral
I shall ask my sister about it when next I e-mail her. we have a link with the cathedral as a relative worked at the Cathedral centuries ago as a housekeeper at the Deanery which is still there.
*!*~*!* hagd everyone :)
Bye, nan
Happy Birthday to me.
Happy birthday, mixi!! And to me tomorrow! :-)
happy birthday to you. My birthday was yesterday but I have stopped counting, it is too depressing.
Happy belated bday, jaxx!
Happy Birthday mixi and une!
Happy belated to you jaxx.
Thanks, une. Christmas babies should stick together.
Thanks, mixi.
Hee hee
in case I miss you tomorrow, happy birthday Une.
Thanks :-)
Happy Birthday!

does anyone have an otterbox protector for their iphone?
Ps are plotzed
otterbox??? (don't have an iphone)
yes, otterbox is the brand. it's highly rated.
is it software or some kind of rubber bumber?
Just got the new Pixel 3 phone. I did not even know that Google made cell phones.I Finally gave up the Galaxy S3.
gwen, it's a cse for the phone , it's protection. i need info from someone who used the otterbox product.
this grid is such a pretzel i keep missing plurals
that pixel looks sharp
ahhh.
no takers. night, all
sorry owl... cheap motorola phone user here
Went to Walmart to get my screen protector and case for my Pixel 3 and they didn't have it. Hopefully, I can get it on Amazon. I do not think Google phones are popular yet
do you like it?
the camera looks rad
I thought Motorola no longer made cell phones. I used to have a very old Motorola flip phone. Miss the flip phones.
I have the Moto E 4, running Android 7.1.1, got it unlocked for $125
The camera doesn't measure up to the iPhone but I'm putting a kid thru college
I like it ok. It does not have some of the same features as the Samsung which I miss. Kept my phone for 6 years. I'm hoping to keep this Google Pixel 3 for at least six years.
OWl, what info do you need? We use Otterboxes at work for Android phones
It's hard to change phones I find
i am confused whtn they say they have screen protection, yet otterbox sells tempered glass protectors. what exctly is the screen protection in the defender series?
What does that mean, U got it unlocked?Should've gotten that one. I am not putting a kid through college, but I am paying $3,600 a month in alimony plus bills and my rent.
Owie!!
unlocked means I can use it with any carrier
Time to go make some Pierogies for dinner. Be right back
bon appetit!
oh min. it's good to see you. later
monkeyed the 9, hooray
The otterbox we use at work is a platic coever rather than tempered glass. Not sure which model it is, but the plastic screen protectors work fine. I work for a Security Company and we abuse the phones...as in throw them at walls, run over them with cars, etc and the Otterbox case works about as well as the Lifecase for less money.
ty. my battery swelled and i just paid for a new phone. i would like to keep it unscratched since it is an older model with the jack
good night
dos
fw
here to clue for the next few
nighty nighty little bite
so > 25% of the board is. . . N?
our middle school used Otterboxes for student iPads. which is to say, Otterboxes are middle-schooler-proof.
hey all, down to 48
Hi there melonheadjujube & stidmama! Merry Christmas!
Hello Min! How's life in the frozen north?
Actually not so frozen anymore. It was in the 50's today.
wow -- springlike! It's been warm here, too -- I heard springtime singing from some of the smaller birds the other day.
How was your Christmas with your family? Did you host or did U go somewhere?I went to Vermont to see my family.
Not so springlike there.It was in the 20s with lots of snow
We don't do Christmas, but we had a very fine quiet day at home. I am glad you got home to see the family!
Sorry stidmama. Should not assume everyone celebrates.
That's okay, Min -- I teach third graders! We have many different customs in the classroom, and I am careful to make our room and lessons welcoming to all. :-) Anything that encourages people to be kind is always okay!
Oh yes,I do the same with my students as well stidmama.
We just got the smoked meats back from our pig last weekend, and had a lovely ham on Tuesday... and Tom made fresh applesauce from apples he gleaned off a friend's orchard in Eastern Washington... I am feeling well fed! LOL
My parents also made homemade applesauce, but I didn't have any. Do not know where they got their apples from.
My dad started an his own apple orchard a few years ago.
That's nice! What types does he grow? There is a large crab apple used as a pollinator in some Washington orchards (Wickson Crab) that is divine...
FW finally/
YAY PEACH!!!!!!
Congratulations gapeach on your fireworks! Hooray for U!
Thanks much, Min.
Do not know specifically what apples he grew, but I know he grew 20 different kinds of apples. I did not even know there are 20 kinds of apples. My favorite is Granny Smith
Those are a lovely, tart apple -- I prefer Grannies and Mackintosh apples over "Delicious" varieties... my current favorites are probably York apples. They dry nicely with a bit of a tang in the sweetness.
down to 30, time to list brb
6 now...
Go stidmama go!
three....
got the ten! :-)
FW!!!! :-)
Congratulations stidmama on your fireworks! Good for U!
Are you also done, Min?
Stidmama, only TENacious people TENd to get long words
Have been stuck on my last five 7:30 pm. Do U have time to help stidmama? If not, I can easily save them for later.
LOL Min! I can help. OF COURSE!!!!
What do you need?
I can help too min
Can I please have a clue for the first two an 5/10 words?

Well, I just found the first an 5/10 word. Thanks anyway.
hello ruru

Thanks stidmama & Ru for the clues,but I'm still clueless!
a + "close", an + "ear-nose-throat" (medical specialist abbreviation), an 4/4 + vowel

A's Accosted! 3 left
Stidmama, can I have a clue for the second pi 6/21 word?
Never mind! I just found the second pi6/21 word. Thanks
P's P Persecuted! 2 left

YAY MIN!!!!!!!
I think that te 6/7 combo is silly. they should just call it "bowling" imho
Thank you rururocks and stidmama for your super clues. I will be here off&on for the next hr if anyone wants clues
Have a wonderful weekend, min and ruru, and a fantastic new year if I don't see you before then. *Poof*
what are the stats for the bottom T please?
te 4/4
Hello harpjane!How are you doing today? Happy Holidays
actually, it
actually, its' te4/5 and 5/12 thanks
I'm doing well Minver. How are you?
What are the stats for the second column N?
I am doing well. Debating if I can make it to grid flipping
ne 4/4 and ne 6/18, but I am not sure since I got the last one wrong.I thought the te5/12 came from the top row T
No prob, it's a twisty grid!
Any guesses for the next grid size? My guess is 104 words.
