Thanks, Broll. I’ve just seen this and emailed Lickety.

Clues are up
Thanks, Lickety
Bandaid was the extra word
FWs
Congrats, Diz

Hi all. Can anyone give me a nudge on the AC7, please?
Sounds like comedian Dan from The Blues Brothers
Great clue - thanks, Molly. How are you today?
Not bad, and you?
Not bad. We had Jeff's mum's funeral yesterday, but we go to Sardinia tomorrow for 12 days, so ups and downs
I'm sure it will be nice for the both of you to get away for a while.
Indeed. I'm looking forward to it - though I hope the trip home is OK; British Airways pilots are striking on and off through September
Ack. Good luck. I hope it doesn't affect your flight home.
Me too. Still, in a way, better that than the other way around ;)
True. Stranded on vacation has its merits. : D
Indeed ;) I don't go back to work until the Monday, so...(we're due to come back Thursday 12 September)
hello
nbt
morning all! starting my next job on 9/9
congats
dan Its been quieting in here
thanks! looking forward to it actually, after a stressful summer search
what type of work?
I'm a software builder, primarily I've been working in education software, which is a small (and weird) niche community
sounds entertaining
for me, it's preferable to the other software niches in the DC area, which are basically financial services or defense contracting
at least until Amazon HQ2 is really up and running
would that be a dream job?
it really depends. I've heard mixed things about the way in which Amazon gets stuff built. They do have an education-facing group in AWS that I have some connections to
they certainly pay well :-)
lucky you:)
well I'm not going there (yet anyway)
where is the headquarters located?
are
Amazon is building out a new campus in Arlington, just between the Pentagon and DCA airport. The neighborhood is called Crystal City
my new company is out in Reston, near IAD airport
ohh that area ...cool
I am fron va:)
ah yes. We are between the two, hoping for an Amazon Effect in our real estate values :-)
the Washington metro area has gotten expensive enough
too true
I want to go back so badly but THE CHANGES ..WOW
yes, I'm at the age now where I have to stop giving directions that are "turn left where that restaurant used to be"
lol you are not kidding
do you feel out of place there?
no I was born and raised in DC itself, moved out to the burbs after college in the mid-90's
it's gotten bigger and busier but it still feels like home
i was born there too. lived overseas and went back to the area
since things went up in price hubby and i had to move
foreign service or military family?
dan good you are adjusting
or hae adjusted is that better?lol
gov
the changes there make me so sad
I am from VA too, but my end of the state is vastly different from that end.
hi hokie.you are from the southern part right?
I have been very fortunate to have made some smart real estate choices along the way. If you get off that escalator in this area, it's all but impossible to get back on
the next to last SW county, right on the TN border.
dan yeah kinda busy and crowded
oh wow - yeah super different. I love touristing in your mountains though carla
hokie ohhh you mean virginisee?
lol
i gtg will beback
yeah, I told my husband I never ever wanted to move to NOVA
and yes, we really are more of a part of TN than VA
140 to go....
Will never finish this grid!
this one is tough too!
too tough for a big one
agreed gotten tough
oh that ca 9 was so hard...NOT
I know!
I expected it to be though lol
I wasn't even trying to find the 9 before I went to the list, it just found me
i started typing it and i had to look to see that it was a 9
does anyone have the first re6? i'm at my wits end!!
re6 - put a backing on a book again
nope, only re I skipped
Jayk something you might do to a beat-up old book
add a consonant within the re5 before it
nm, I do have that, was looking at ra 6 instead
what pastor j said
oh dear lord! of course. Thanks
ur6?
... like bears
like a bear
... or ur + trigonometric ratio
i have a ur that means bear
4
there's a 4 and a six
well, it's an adj. form
like what's the fe word for cat end in
I still have 19 after first pass through list. ugh. TTFN.
but that isn't a 6
Yep, it is. The ur6 that ends like the fe word for cat.
You wont bear it when u see it
I can’t talk about clues with cats
Except at open mike night
why ruru
i got it
I have been forbidden to.
i don't want to know do i?
Best not ask mlf 🤪
thought so
Babble drama :D Hi folks.
You don’t want to upset the queen of the chat monitors
Or her minions
Unbelievably rude
did i miss something ?
Hi, Chrissie
Hi jaxx. Long time no see
Hiw are you?
Must be years now
Think you're right
My health has stopped me doing very much.
rude?
Sorry to hear that.
How's the family?
sorry to hear that too jaxx
Growing :)
i am confused ruru
Up to 4 grandchildren
It has been a long time. I only recall one. My granddaughter is 22 next week and my grandson 14.
Should have had a part today for our Ruby wedding but hubby is ill so had to cancel
Is that the grandson who lives with you
So sorry to hear that. It is our Golden Wedding at Christmas and there are times when I wonder if I'll reach it.
Sorry to hear that too jaxx
You have a good memory. He is with us during the week, going home at weekends. he has an allotment which he tends with great care.
That's a lovely hobby
He is a great gardener and we enjoy his veg especially.
good morning ori
I'd rather he was out in the fresh air than sitting in front of a game machine
Definitely
Good morning, ru
How old are your grandchildren? It must be disappointing about your Ruby wedding party
hello origami
Hi fan
Eldest nearly 5. Starts scholl next week. The family came home from China last summer. Had a boy,born over there. Daughter has 2 girls. One just turned 3 and one 7 months 💓💓
bet they keep you busy
that is wonderful chrissie and i love the hearts
Yes, very, but wonderfully so
Thanks mlf
Are you glad they are back from China. It looks as if it is about to start there
It is a relief to have them back
There's no place like home. The world is not so safe any more
Are you still rocking the pink hair? :)
i agree jaxx
No, sadly. Sitting anywhere for any length of time is impossible. Colonic cancer means you become attached to the loo
Oh no. So sorry jaxx. Didn't like to pry
I have had time to get used to the idea. Now they tell me I am losing my vision in my left eye as well. I won't be able to see the loo properly which can only be a blessing.
Jaxx, I've put my email address in my profile if you want to take it to chat anytime. I'll remove it in a minute
wow Jaxx so sorry to hear this
So very sorry, Jaxx :-(
I will keep 'babbling' as long as I can. I would be totally bored without it.
Hello ((((Jaxx)))). That is devastating news. I’m really sorry to hear it. I wish you nothing but the best, my friend.
Thanks soodle. How's the latest arrival doing?
Chrissie. Must have missed it
He is a tonic, Jaxx. A beautiful healthy baby, blessed with very powerful lungs!!
Its there now. Forgot to press update before returning to puzzle!
You won't be able to ignore him then. Typical male!
Thanks, Chrissie.
His Grandma(me) however, is paying dearly for the excesses of a my nieces wedding yesterday. I drank my head off & danced my feet off & thought I was 22 again. Suffering today!
It is hard to remember your age when you still feel 21
Go Soodle. Very jealous. Could do with some dancing
Well, people my husband is calling me so I must away. Thanks for the catch ups. Bye
I think I danced more in the past 24 hours than I have done in the past 24 years. And quite possibly drank more as well. It was a terrific day, and after recent bereavements, great to have a happy family reunion.
((((Jaxx))) Take care. I’m thinking of you.
Sounds wonderful
Bye jaxx
Chrissie - so sorry to hear your hubby is so ill. What a bummer not being able to celebrate a milestone like your ruby anniversary.
Yes. He's completely out of the game. Slept all day. Just me, the dog and enough food and drink to,sink a battleship
If I’m not being rude, can I ask what ails him?
Just virus I think, but a nasty one
Well - that sounds treatable, thankfully. In the meantime, Chrissie, you treat YOURSELF!!
We can celebrate another day. The toughest part is cancelling the family coming. Like your day yesterday i was looking forward to us all being together
Thanks Soodle. Now I'd better go and feed the dog. Do you think I can give here cake? lol
Yep, I hear you. But 40 years???? You get out of jail after 7 years after committing murder. I’d tip my fascinator (sp?) at you if it had survived!!! 😂😂😂
Howdy, y'all.
gm judi
anyone need a clue? finished and have time for a few if needed.
hi Judi, ru et al
good morning everyone!
ab7, ac6?
learned some newbies today, like another word for a bordello (-:
bo6/24 would be helpful.. the last one
hi saanich
ab7 is gerund form of home
bo6 ends like ca6
Bo6/24: one who sails the seas
ca6/21 that is
ac6 is a mite, ends in not them
after that one judi
it means an irish lane
(and I can't believe I found a word that eluded ru) :D
got it.
bo6 ends in t***ager, over 12
thx, aloy
i'm not infallible you know hokie
wut??
ok, I also give up on the ag8. the a's killed me today.
the c's and d's are tougher for me
ag8 ends in what happens when you forget everything
well, the ag8 is a tuffy.. but if you have the ag6 before it, just add French Polynes**
Or maybe a more clever clue is forgetting how old you are : D
thx, I was on the right track at least but couldn't get the ending. thankful I remembered what forgetting everything is
lol, hokie..
thanks for the ag8
wait till nan gets the da7
which one?
77/44
7/44 that is
yes, had to look that one up , sounds like something a woodworker would do
or maybe a sculptor or mason? whatever
i'm kicking myself for missing a lot of easy d's
oh what a silly word that da 7/44
ge7 anybody?
not me
a fancy clean up guy with manners dan ge 7
looks like an ancestor, a male parent
got it ty aloy and ruru
that's firewords for me!
thx
nice
congrats dan!
still struggling on the first ba6
ag8 not getting the ending?
yay dan.. well, I'll scoot with a clue - the bordello(s) are ba6 and ba7: those looked a bit silly to me!
there are 2 different really good clues on the ag8 ending
bye aloy
adios, aloy
hokie I have the one ending in 88**it is your turn
ba6.40, 7.44 i.e. Start with something that holds groceries .. bye all, see you tomorrow!
ok, that's what I was working toward, will keep trying, thx
Everything except the ag8 clue is hitting a brick wall in my head. Hmmm.
god the nine was staring me in the face all morning
silly you ruru
judi not getting it either
i just got a ag 5/6
judi it starts with how old you are but after that...
I thought the ge7 had something to do with...well not a clean up guy
If you can't remember who you are you have....
amnesia? alzheimers?
now look at the other clue - polyn****
got it
hokie didn't see that part of a clue ty though
for mentioning it again
co7? these 7s are killing me
Hello all. Rest time for this tired momma...Shouldn't start, but don't want to close my eyes...
it's not coinbag
but just saw what it was when my autocorrect tried to correct me, so nm
penny + how old you are
bzz why don't you want to take a nap?
Just a suggestion, but it's better not to put your guesses in the chat. They often contain part of the word.
ty ruru
sorry, I thought it was a funny made up word
bzz are you going to get remnants of the hurricane as it comes up the coast next week?
Anyone have a clue for that Ca9?
ruru i think we are getting rain later in the week from it?
I have no idea, ru. I refuse to watch the news in case there is something there about the nasty Orange man.
kamala harris is a ca9 judi
You vote for the ca9 of your choice
Judi, are you a likely ca9 for the job?
judi think what are people you vote for in an election
(watches as Judi smacks her forehead)
Ty, carla & MLF>
*Digs Judi out of the clue avalanche
lol ruru
yw judi
I hope you didn't roll your eyes too hard, judi
i do that a lot but not always because of thee grids
I just hard eye-rolled ob5 when I finally found it
i could have given a nice fat clue hokie
punny, but you don't clue 5's ;)
i clue some fives.. i just don't clue fours.
i just rolled my eyes at that one i almost asked for a clue from hokie and then went oh when ruru had aready given a clue
I just found 2 other 5's I missed on the first pass that were plurals. smh
I do eye rolls because of the clues that are asked...
which is "shaking my head" for the acronym challenged or averse
me too, Bea. :D
obsidian phantom
Oh all the rolling eyes. And I agree, Bea.
bzz what are you implying?
I almost tried that one, origami
origami that would be a good word huh?
I'm not implying a thing. Just stating a fact.
not all are THAT obvious :D
Think I'll go take a nap now...TA!
Good idea Bea, sleep well.
i wanted to sleep longer but between my husband making noise and our cat. i got up earlier then i had hoped. it wasn't too early though
fireworks! last word gave me a little trouble. It probably wouldn't have if I were a drinker.
Off to do chores, then on to the evening boat cruise on the Chesapeake. See y'all tomorrow!
Ooo, Judi's living the swanky life. Have fun.
name that proper noun! eva, magda, and zsa zsa

hurshy wins a ring of power and a faithful servant gollum
i'll pass, lol
you don't want someone to call you precious?
gollum didn't call FRODO precious!
it was a stretch..
come to think of it i probably don't want someone to call me that. i think LotR has ruined that word, lol
*Makes a mental note to call Hurshy cupcake, not precious
i do love cupcakes
name that proper noun! Thinker sculptor
Rodan
rodin
close :)
ding ding ding (ruru)!!!
*Goes to the dunce corner for spelling mistake
it does sound that way a bit when you hear it if you're used to english pronunciation of vowels
good morning all -- high % of fours in this one
woohoo
I can't figure out why the thinker is considered to be one of his greatest works -- it is one of the least complex
cyber really?
yes --- have a look at 'the gates of hell', 'the burghers of calais' or 'the kiss'
do you mean in the detail of them?
and the composition
hmm
its a strange sculpture to begin with in my opinion?
were those that you mentioned before the Thinker or what time period?
just my opinion, mind you --- guess it didn't make as much of impression on me as the others when I saw them at his gallery
have no idea
Well Nan, art and how it is evaluated is a wide ranging thing. Consider Jackson Pollock.
exactly! - I know that some admire pollock -- personally, I think he is in the same category as my 7 yearold grandchildren
lol ouch cyber
the kiss seems not as complex to me
it is carved out of marble, mlf and much more sensual in real life than in a photo.
that is also true of a lot of pieces of art -- not just sculptures
true materials do make a difference
i love pollock's last works.. they are amaznig
van gough is my favorite artist however
(hoping Nan will buy me a van gough for my birthday next month) :D
sorry - I just don't see that it takes a lot of talent to throw paint at a canvas
my favorite Rodin is the old woman in the chair.. i can't remember the name of it however
I love George suerate
i just saw a number of Pollocks at the MOMA in NY.. i'm not crazy about the earlier stuff.. but his last two works are incredible
sorry spelled that wrong I think
Seurat
yeah him ty ruru
time to get stuff done around the house.. i've delayed as long as possible.. have a great holiday weekend fellow americans.. and a nice weekend to everyone else
cyber I have tried to paint and I have zero talent for it
back atcha ru
hi jhp
my favourite rodin is the one of the girl in the hat covered with flowers -- so much emotion showing on her face -- how can anyone get that out of a hunk of marble
talent and free time?
ooh - just found the 9
and a good eye for detail?
gj cyber
and hi all
I sa a painting in a museum once when you looked at it close up it was some white buildings. whe you walk away from it still looking at it it becomes a big human skull

I won't be around for a while....I am not mad at anyone from chat....i am not totally disenchanted with Enable (well, maybe I am, lol)...I am not sick...I am leaving tomorrow for an extended trip....won't be around until either late Sept. or the beginning of Oct...
