50% or more for each tile, calling it a night. night.
dy6/39 and its plural. new word for me.
New for me too. Bankrupt. Not a good word, lol! How are you, Rose?
Hey Rose, hope you are safe from the fires. The closest to me is about 20 ks away, but nder control at the moment
hi kam honey. missing your chat and missing sprite too. glad we have connected on FB though. how's the water situation now?
hey diz. we are still relatively free of fores at the moment. our local fireys are all on tenterhooks though.
I worry about you folks in Australia all the time. I'm in California, but the fires you're having beats anything I've ever seen. So much wildlife injured or killed...just breaks my heart.
The water situation is to be fixed tomorrow afternoon. I still have a fan blowing to dry things out. Leaks suck - glad we found this one as quickly as we die!
did
yeah kam. i know climate change per se has a lot to do with it, but the ridiculous local laws should NEVER have been written. we are not allowed to even clear debris beside our roads here.
Same stuff as happened in Calif, sounds like. Now they're allowing controlled burns to clear debris.
*shaking head* i know. that is what our indigenous people have been saying all along. but what do they know? they only cleared the country for thousands of years before we white folk came along.
so true Rose. and our government are doing sh#t.
i am utterly fed up with our local governments. a lot of people are saying lets tie the greenies to the trees now and see what song they sing.
Exactly! Same as in the US - indigenous people burned off areas that needed to be burned off.
Our gov't is lifting restrictions on pollution too...just fed up with people not looking after the Mother
it's called cold burning. the indigenous folk know exactly what has to be done. absolutely kam. and not being allowed to clear away fallen debris etc is just so ridiculous.

oopsie
whoot just found ta7 on my onesome. loll
Thanks, diz! I hope you are safe where you live. I'm so sad to read about all the needs the rescue folks have. Fires are such nightmares.
hey kam. next monday i go in to have the nerves in my lower back and right knee killed off again. and then 3 days of pain-free bliss on the ketamine. only downside is i cannot taste food at all. but any po4 in a storm, right?
Thanks for the ta7, Rose!
loll kam it sticks out like a sore thumb doesn't it?
Good luck for Monday! Doesn't sound fun, but pain relief in any form is a good thin!
More like a dandelion or acorn that started to grow where I don't want an oak tree... haha
thing
and the PEA ?? i think it's working. skin on my shins is definitely less sensitive.
*giggles*
I'm tired...too much cleaning water out of the garage, no hot water, sopping wet messes of towels I used to sop things up...
ugh you poor thing. it's amazing how far a little water can go isn't it?
Cool about the PEA. I looked it up and kinda forgot about it. Will have to check it out again.
40 gallons isn't a "little" water.
i think it works on the nerve synapses and slow down the messages.
no true that. 40 gallons isn't a little.
I wish they had a way to stop "Substance P" - that's what they say causes us to feel pain so much more than 'normal' folks
but it does spread forever. you think you have dried out one spot but noooo... there it comes trickling out.
Hubs hooked up a hose to the drain last night, but there was still a dribble coming out of the hot water faucet, so I let it drain. Starting to look dry out there... plumber coming tomorrow.
Now, to hit thrift stores for spare towels - there is NO way I can clean up the ones I used for this mess, lol!
i am wondering if the combo of PEA and the ketamine might actually do the trick. PEA does work with our nerves and their ability to transmit ' messages' from synapse to synapse.
Let me know how it works out - want to talk to my doc about it.
i wouldn't even try kam given that you are in your coloer, wetter months
ugh... that's cooler... loll
Cuz the weather affects the pain? or?
no, i was talking about washing and drying all those towels...loll
Oh, lol! I think they're too dirty to even try to put in the washer!
but you are right. the change in the weather does effect my pain. does it yours?
The ones from 2 nights ago were dry today, but they're soaked again...damn thing leaked more after hubs tried to drain it...and of course it leaked all over the floor. Thank goodness it's the garage, not inside! The original water heater was in the hall, and I had it moved to the garage.
Yes, my body tells me when weather changes are coming this time of year.
do you think it's to do with atmospheric pressures? i know when the pressure changes. don calls me his barometer...loll
I think so
brb need a drink
back. grabbed an icy pole too since i am only allowed half a glass (100ml or about 3 0z) at a time.
I'm trying to wind down for sleep...not too much water allowed right now, lol!
Actually, I just hit the wall on this grid. Morning will bring another perspective!
okay honey. bedtime?
Have a great day, or whatever...don't remember what time is it where you are.
6:30pm nearly time for dinner. tonight we are splashing out and having pizza.
sweet dreams dearest. xox
Enjoy! I'm going to get ready for bed! Talk soon!

Not watched UC, watching Dracula though....
Matty: if you arr still here, I just re-read your profile and ''pretty how town' is lodged in my head like an ear worm.I'm not complainig, I love it!

(and also, PB for me - I'm not having a good day!
oo4 and po4 are off limits today. I won't miss po4. That one is over used here.
Whilst I have you here...may I have stats for any 7 please?
And, of course, I've now found one.
Ironic that its a British spelling.
Thanks Matty, that actually helped me find a 7 :)
good morning! you did a few fa7 for everyone there, Matty
Hi dan. Yes, I found 2 7s now :)
Weirdly, that isn't the one I found - the one I had found was mistier....

ad6/21
thanks! clearly not caffeinated enough to feel ad6 yet
Thank you 2Bit. I always miss the Brit spellings.
dy6? Seriously? What is this great love the Enable word nerds have for Scot words?
that is exactly what I frequently ask, Molly!! Does Robert Burns do this puzzle?
I think it is time we gave Enable a good shake up. Get rid of all the racist slurs, all the swear words and all ther archaic scots. mind you some days we might not be left with a lot!!
Oh and all the words for which there is no definition like sp7
hello

good morning, Peach! go straight north, gather a couple of dbl const and then take a very very short left

It is a tedious grid.
I'm off to do something more productive...

any clues wanted before I scoot?
okey dokey, happy babbling and enjoy your day!
Wow, that DY is weird.
and there is no definition for it in the dictionaries?
hi all. any clues for any 7s? ty
The bestest thing ever, in British English (fa6 and 7)
Or, a better definition - a boon in England
people are going to faint over the va7
That DY: in British English. (ˈdaɪvə) Scottish. a person who is bankrupt, begs for money, or owes money
well, I'm chuckling over do6.27
do6 is a thingamajig? I don't see doohickey in there.
a whatchamacallit maybe
Ends in not mom

I have seen it before and thought the same
ok, it means "a small herring"..
this all sounds fishy to me
yup, it was a fish!
yeah, can't believe what I'm herring
lol carla
maybe he ate is sp 5's with sp 6's
well... i'm floundering in the grid at this point
I cod use some more inspiration. stuck at 24.

not a groan, ru .. but close!
damn
i'll keep trying just for the halibut

ooh, just found a carrot or parsnip ta7.32
darnit, ru!
I'd sell my sole for stats for the lone A :D

I live for stats
learning some new words, like pr624
4 p's left here too now :)
do not have that, will look
I did just find pr6/30 that I didn't have
former monetary unit of Israel.. oh yes of course
guess I will quit looking then
if I had a shekel for every time there was a currency word
because I will never get
ends in a three letter word for toddler or little one
thx
yeah, would never have got that, thx aloy
yw, hunting my last one
well, it was tu5.14, must be a slang word for the paint remover that is made from tapping tall trees
darnit, I already had that
and it ends as if it is a pl but it isn't
wow carla
oh, I was just trying stuff earlier and got lucky
never seen it before
any clue requests before I go do some.. eek.. work?
15 left here, can you guess which ones I'm missing? ;)
the dy word?
btw, condolences on VT's loss.. am still not happy
every single "good guy" I was rooting for.. lost !
glad I didn't place bets, lol
nope, I have 2 dy's
and yes, of course we lost that game in the last second. classic chokies.
the dy word ends like the other British ones . Like the hungry one de****S the steak, chomp chomp
I have those
ru needs 'em
may as well go to the list
what a word.. thanks aloy
oh, I sea
yw, glad you found them. Someone said much earlier that it refers to a bankrupt person, but I had to look it up
i think i have to list.. it's getting too hard to finish
(i hope molly doesn't see that post)
ok, time to de-decorate: see you next time.. oh oh, what did I do amiss, ru?
I think he was talking about him going to the list
you didn't do anything aloy
oh, ok.. standard practice for me after I finish 3/4 or more. I divide 4 into the total words and use that as a goal
then I take 1/10 of the remainder and force myself to hit that goal before using morewords, OCD? oh yes
I just try to make it as far as I can. 15 today is actually really good for me, though I definitely got a few from the chat.
i try to get to 10% of the grid left without listing if possible
well, that is amazing.. I could do it only if the grid is not full of "weirdos"
I get too impatient, methinks.. too much screen time
if anything i have a lot of patience
speaking of which.. ciao for now! (-:
yay closed out the t's finally
i'm missing 5 s's just don't see them
make that three
I somehow finished the s's before the list!
most are regular words
stuck at 39 - time for breakfast
13 but I haven't given up yet
well, I finished with the list. have to say over half of the 15 left were regular words or babblets I should have gotten, so that's annoying.
8 now.. but it's brutal
got it.. sans list
with help from aloy however
well done
you don't have to qualify it for me, I'm still impressed
congrats you two -- if you are still here
i am not liking this grid much....no Es....
it is a tough one, pen
I have to say I am not minding it so far. Although I am only just starting on the A next to the V.
well i am down to 67 and it's a slog now...
I'm down to 3 or less for each of my remaining tiles and am about to list
my only criteria to list is that it's no longer fun to look for words....i am nearing that now....
I'm finding that the list is helping the monkeys a lot
i bet...
Yeah mine is when I have done each tile in turn then looked for maybe things I might of missed plural PT more of isms etc then just random looking for a while. Once I have mucked about like that for a few hours I think list time lol
lol...i can relate...
spoke too soon
I will NOT try Spam.
already did, lol....the word, not the can....

hi bichon, i just started
ty dose
here's a question i'll have to look up
in like victorian times or whenever it was, sometimes they said a sick person had "the va6" and i would like to find out what exactly they meant by that
... breathing heavily on the verge of fainting
so it was not very specific then? just symptoms?
not like "consumption" which we now call "tuberculosis"
... not like that at all
Victorian women were often considered to be "neurasthenic" and smelling salts and burnt feathers were used to revive them from a "swoon"
... just a male prejudice about supposed female frailty
and then we said "hey you morons, maybe if you stopped restricting your lungs with those dang corsets..."
Ascribed primarily to women and thought to be caused by internal emanations (vapours) from the womb, it was related to the concept of female hysteria. The word "vapours" was subsequently used to describe a depressed or hysterical nervous condition.
and off I go to the PB tho my spelling isn't in this grid
thanks, dos and natasha :D
oops, it is
:-)
aHA then that means Vs Vanquished
i know a few of simon & garfunkel's most famous songs but i happened upon a 20 track "best of" CD and am listening to the ones i didn't know. man, i see what all the fuss was about.
now anyone from generations older than mine may proceed to mock me :D
no, we''ll confine ourselves to pity and compassion :-)
hi hursh
hi TO
i did have the sense, when my grandparents' house was being emptied, to request that the S&G and CCR posters that had belonged to one of my uncles as a teenager be preserved
i framed them and have them
classics
... and done ... phew ... may I offer any clues for anyone? ...
any weird D or P that you feel like cluing?
break time. the 7 sare hiding well.
... do 6/27 7/40 ... ... miscellaneous odd tools and things for odd jobs .... think of the list of tasks that father must complete ( as a help)
dy 6/39 7/56 ... if it had a "c" in it, it would sound like the end of a marriage llll
like a "honey do" list?
whoa those dy words are definitely very weird!
... yup ... but that is pretty close to sending me to the penalty box
oh no i get it!! on the do
i need V words. only have one. so all welcome.
... yup to that too
dy eh? dont have any yet.
when water evaporates you get va5 (or va6 alt sp) and both can be pluralized
mkg I gave away about 4 of them a short while ago. Not sure I'm out of hte PB yet
mae west was a va4
.... what a twenties movie star or bar singer was often called
3:21 pm
... have you got the va 5/18 ... a gas ... well make it a plural and spell it again with the Canadian spelling
ty for clues. yeah! ty.
