If there is anyone still here, I am down to 2 words. I just posted a story of clues into my profile. It is probably the earliest I have ever written one of my stories. Goodnite
Minveryork, you are so clever! Thanks for the chuckles!
Please could I have the stats for the e in the middle column? Thanks

Morning all. Does anyone have stats for the A in the second row from the top, fourth column?

Hi matty and nana.
dine
Free clue.
Good morning
LOL
Typically I toss out easy 4-letter words that are obvious to see.
Morning! Just had a quote to get our shower fixed - it's leaking into the floor below (fortunately, we have another we can use in the meantime). Not as bad as a thought
Oh, no, home repairs are annoying and costly. I am glad you received a good quote.
And, materials permitting, it may even get done next week, which is good, as Jeff's daughter is moving in on Sunday for an indefinite period of time (which doesn't thrill me, but that's another story)
Oh, boy.
We have quite a small townhouse and Jeff's daughter can be...(IMO)...entitled and moody. Maybe she's grown up whilst she's been away. Jeff also tends to believe she can do no wrong so there's a risk of 'them v me' situation (I hope I'm wrong!)
Found the AE. Made easier when I put six letters in and not just five!
Has he given her a rulebook for living with you, e.g. paying a monthly fee, contributing to chores, how long she may stay, no bad behavior?
No. Only that I must be gentle with her because she's broken up with her boyfriend (he's Australian - she's been living in Australia) and because her mother is 'nuts'
There is no way in hell he'll ask her for any money
Oh Matty, my condolences.
Oh, so she is a fragile child and not an adult expected to be responsible.
I hope I'm worrying over nothing. I hope she's grown up, is gracious and kind, stays, say a few months, gets a job and moves out
That IS a possibility
I have seen so many friends allow their adult children to return home but without any rules or expectations, and it is trouble.
Matty you look great in those rose colored glasses : D
Jeff and Hannah's mum split when Hannah was a baby and he had to fight hard to get access. The mother is Algerian, so he actually had to get a court order to prevent her from absconding abroad with her. As a result, he's always treasured all the time he got with her (even when she became an EXTREMELY moody teenager and young adult - just locking herself in her room for the whole time
So he has all that baggage, which I understand, but am concerned that I have to shoulder many of the suitcases (to overextend a metaphor)
Good luck, matty.
I just fear (and I hope I'm wrong) that the eggshells I already walk will get sharper, and more fragile
Thanks for listening to my rant!
This is also made more fun, as I'm working from home full time at the moment, thanks to COVID
I get it, matty.
Would anyone be kind enough to give me stats for the 7, please?
I haven't found it.
Tr 7/48 Matty
And now I see it. It's a miracle!
Thank you!
Often, as soon as it's pointed out, it screams at you (but not always, of course)
Very welcome. Hi al
...all...
Hi Soodle
I see it too. TY.
when the feeling’s gone and you can’t go on... 🎵🎶
I now have that song stuck in my head
When the morning cries and your heart just dies it's hard to bear, with no-one to love you you're going nowhere . . .
Haha
aww, a mini grid.. hi Scrabbs and everyone
Hi Aloy!
we FINALLY have lots of rain, wahoo
feast or famine.. flood watches out
We have downpours, thunder, lightning, and hail Tuesday night. My sister's home and mother's have some flooding.
ooch, not good
A plumber will come to my mother's home today. we think there was just so much rain that the drain tile was overwhelmed. Maybe there is an obstruction.
hope the problem is easily solved
11 left, and I think I shall have to list. I wonder how many deeply obvious words I've missed?
10 left (found one - not obvious, but monkeyable
I am stuck with 28 left.
first phantom of the day = adage
do you use the list, Scrabbs?
If I want to finish I use the list, but I aim to pass halfway.
then you are doing great on this grid!
Thanks to the list, all done - only one 'real' word that I missed in first pass, so not too shabby
congrats, matty !
Good, matty. Enjoy your day. I need to get ready for work.
have a great day, Scrabbs
have to scoot too.. happy Babbling to all, poof
That ga5 is my last and I don't get it?? Clue pls
nm geez a word I even know
first thing I see is kidney, but it's not really there
ga5===Brooks
*Note: Not a good clue for Nan : D
lol, truth
Must have missed something.
only 4's & 5's left!
But I am missing a lot since I'm living in a bubble.
bea, nan never gets any pop culture clues I give
Got it!
bottom row done! ;)
Carla, how do you Queen City people feel/think about Cooper telling the Republicans to go somewhere else?
hehe hokie. me too!
hi all
hi jmc
'morning, babblers
hi TO
the city itself is democrat so they are probably glad. my son is glad because UNCC was going to start back Sep 7 and now they may go back in Aug as usual.
hi welki
howdy all who've arrived
I personally think a convention is a horrible idea in a pandemic so I'm fine with them not bringing more people and germs here.
*Translates for non North Carolina people...Charlotte is call Queen City
yes, not cincinnati, but charlotte
I mean they both are called that but we are referring to charlotte
Thanks Molls. Makes sense but I was unaware
largest city in NC
I'm glad he stuck to his guns. I think he has done a great job for the state with the virus. Probably won't win him the reelection.
my boy lived in Asheville for a while. He said he like Asheville but it was surrounded by NC.
Charlotte is beautiful. If I had big dollars, I would live there.
yes, it was kind of a shock he won to begin with
molly, I don't know about MD but COL is lower here than DC/NOVA
Yes, it was ridiculous that they wanted to have that many people there and not follow social distancing.
jm, Asheville is definitely very different. we will probably end up there when empty nesters.
okay, bea, what is my missing L?
Probably on I am missing as well...
one
Do you two have the potato edible?
a beautiful but pricey place to live
Yes, I do.
yes, I have that one
ty Molls I did not have that
... how about la5//12 = la4/5 + vowel
I have them all now.
I have that one too
There is the one that rhymes with the Oliver Twist character.
wtg bzzn
The strip of wood with a vowel at the end is the other oddball one
I thought that's the one dos said
(strip of wood + vowel)
ty Molls
not up on my dickens characters
la5.14
... how about The Wolverine's name but with a different first vowel ....
You know this one JMC...the bad guy in Oliver
ok, do not have la5/14
That is the one we are talking about
ok, got it with hugh jackman and imdb, thx.
1st col gray!
Dickens gets shut out by Marvel Comics...shame
gotta know your audience ;)
I keep seeing "almost words" that need an R
missing 1 g - I have 3 gn, are there more?
That is just it. This audience is so varied. Some know pop culture, some do not. At any given moment, there could be a physics conversation going on here that most of us understand very little of.
No, just three gns
Are you missing Mr. Brooks, Carla?
nope, that was one of the first words I saw
Avarice without the R?
got it!
like a dry riverbed but different first letter (obviously)
Thank you all for playing "Help Carla Solve The Grid". Please come back next time.
but wait, there's more
I've got fw's

ok, just checked a2z for di5 and don't see it. guess I will go to the list for one word.
more girl with a finger in it hokie
had just finally typed it in right after seeing the list position. word is not in a2z.
oh well, I'll still count this as a win :D
Morning, all.
going to get some things done now. hi and bye judi, all.
morewords.com is much better and easier to read than a to z
agreed
and ru, I hope someone doesn't take your clue the wrong way ;)
have never used morewords. I usually use bestwordlist but it's been kinda wonky lately
but bestwordlist also has a lot of words not accepted by enable
morewords is based on enable and everything matches perfectly
i went with a politically correct clue hokie
phantom: adage
little girl and the dam thing
second row A?
yeah, I got what you're saying, but there is a slang, derogatory version of the word
TO had the same phantom hursh
ae6, hursh
thanks hokie
really my only phantom today was kidney
hehe I had problems with my next-door across the alley neighbors backing into my fence and knocking it down so when
I did the big remodel I put up a huge concrete curb that is 3 feet tall and they hit that instead of my fence.
Brilliant, jmc!
to be nice I have black and yellow reflective tape on the fence
They started to be more careful backing out
Name that proper noun: famous Alan.
hmmm not M.A.S.H.
Arkin?
not Password
good job ru!
Ding! Ding!Ding! Ruru wins.
Ru's prize is a cardboard cut-out to write his protest message on.

Hi seain
We had them yesterday afternoon
I started three loaves of potato bread today. One is in the bread machine, the other two are resting in the fridge to bake tomorrow.
I love making bread. Post pics!
i have a Food album on Facebook (séain Gutridge) where i do post pics, usually with recipes.
Oh, I've never actually looked at the album with recipes. I'll have to do that.
My Food album, Pets album, and Me album are the three that are public so that people see something about me rather than nothing if they look at my profile.
LOL just looked up fa5.22 apropos to today.
Great. Now I'm starving.
meh?
Why is an old Portuguese dry measure apropos to today?
*Looks to see if it is National Portuguese Dry Measure Day

Misstearweus sounds like a magic show for Elmer Fudd 😄
Mistearweus wabbit...heh heh heh heh
But man missT your comments were on the mark the other day
Thank you so much.. fireworks xx
good evening!
Miss T's comments were great. Well thought out and to the point. Very different from some of the raving we get here at times.
hi all. late start for me.
good going wvteach
what is 2/3 of a sunbeam? not sure another word for sunbeam exists.
oh i think i have that one already. ty anyway
need stat and clue for the 7 please.
Tr 7/48: a genre for a greek play
ty got it.
may I have a clue for the FA 5/22 please
sorry dont have it. have fa 4s and a 6
there are 2 5's the 22 and a 20...
fa 5/22 rhymes with the metal star worn by law enforcement
any clues for the A word for A in second row, 4th column?
AE plus to eat?
Thank you. I think I must have tried every combo but that one!
the fa5? pretty sure I've never heard of it before.
it makes me think of a certain choklit confection, heehee
Chocolate confections are good
finished!
congrats!
thanks!
I love chocolate!
done, too, now. laters, all! :)
Back to try to finish.
Well, it is not a tedious job, for once.
I am not as good at this game as others, so some tedium is involved :D
Oh, I am not good at this at all. I rarely finish anymore. I just find what I can and move on to other things. I mostly finish the small ones though. They are not full of insane, obscure words.
if you can't finish 85 words... i mean.. what can i say?
I'll find them, ru. I find the smaller grids harder for some reason. Maybe a higher percentage of unusual words.
Oh, Molly :D I think my experience is different.
time for my bike ride.. have a nice night you two
Stay cool, ru.

Hello harpjane! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid
Good minver, I was just checking in before the flip. Evidently I didn't do the grid today.....

I have less than a minute to find my last word.
