Donald Trump on the Tiananmen Square massacre in 1990, the year after it happened:“When the students poured into Tiananmen Square, the Chinese government almost blew it,” Donald Trump said. “Then they were vicious, they were horrible, but they put it down with strength. That shows you the power of strength. Our country is right now perceived as weak … as being spit on by the rest of the world,” the future president continued.

Sent the offending link to the archives usually fixes it.

7:28 am

No matter how many times tinyurl.com is mentioned, it never seems to work.

7:29 am

One word then enter, Harry

7:29 am

ah - I get it. you guys are wizards

7:29 am

I think today's offender doesn't post much.

7:29 am

hardly harry

7:29 am

I have been flushing threads for years Harry : D

7:30 am

Shh! Peri! Just go with it!

7:30 am

It used to take longer on discussion boards

7:30 am

LOL Bea

7:30 am

Molly, I finally decided to get carry out last night.

7:31 am

good for you Bea, what did you order

7:31 am

Yay Bea! What did you get?

7:31 am

What a disaster! I ended up fixing a late dinner of biscuits, sausage gravy and fried potatoes.

7:32 am

Oh my God, biscuits, sausage gravy and fried potatoes is my idea of a heavenly meal. What happened with the take out?

7:32 am

oh no

7:32 am

The place we were trying to order from was so busy you couldn't get them on the phone. The drive through line was so long and they were closing at 7pm due to the curfew.

7:33 am

Aw, well...Today is a new day.

7:33 am

Curfew because of protests?

7:33 am

Yes.

7:34 am

You know, I am all for the cause, but curfew on top of quarantine seems a bit excessive.

7:34 am

Crazy time, for sure.

7:34 am

bl

7:35 am

I'm thinking about picking something up on my way home. I hate cooking on Friday nights.

7:35 am

We usually do a grilled hamburger and fries on Friday nights.

7:36 am

It is too humid to grill out. I'm tired of sweating.

7:36 am

I will be spending most of today searching for the word pariah in this grid.

7:37 am

But tonight, I'm going to fix a Chinese veggie stir fry over noodles.

7:37 am

There is a lot of poo in the grid today.

7:37 am

sounds delicious. I'm buying chinese for tonight. I can't bear to cook in this crazy humidity

7:37 am

I was going to do something Chinese, but did not get some of the ingredients I need in my grocery delivery order.

7:39 am

I've run out of cumin seeds and can't find them anywhere

7:39 am

I had a hell of a time finding cumin for a while. I ended up ordering a huge container of it from Amazon.

7:39 am

Isn't it funny what you can't find?

7:40 am

I finally found ground cumin yesterday. but no seeds. I need them for my alu gobi

7:40 am

I substituted curry for cumin in refried beans last week - not a success.

7:43 am

I've never heard of it, Harry. But, I don't do much Indian either. That looks like a recipe we would enjoy.

7:43 am

it's so good

7:44 am

My friend said she doesn't know why there is a run on yeast when everyone is so "trendily" gluten free these days.

7:44 am

LOL! She does have a point.

Still need yeast in gluten free bread!

7:44 am

There is the GF Goddess!

7:45 am

there was a funny meme the other day...

7:45 am

something about "who knew - when men lose access to sports, they bake. I would not have expected that"

7:45 am

Apparently there is a problem with cumin crops, thus the shortage

7:46 am

Good morning, all.

Just found ar7 - fitting for this game

7:46 am

really! I didn't even know cumin was a plant.

7:46 am

its finally raining. First time for weeks. I can almost hear my garden sucking it up!!

7:46 am

How do you think you get those seeds, Harry?

7:47 am

Most spices are plants, Harry. LOL!

7:47 am

yes well...

7:47 am

there's no curry plant. or paprika plant.

19 left before coffee. BBL

7:47 am

or garam masala plant

7:47 am

Nothing happens in my house BEFORE coffee : D

7:47 am

can I plant cumin?

7:48 am

you can buy curry leaves?!

7:48 am

huh - it looks like queen anne's lace!

7:49 am

I think curry is a combination of spices

7:49 am

Looks like you can Harry, if you follow certain guidelines. It likes a long, hot growing season.

7:50 am

project for next year.

7:50 am

please remind me in april.

7:50 am

Lots of curry leaves available on line

7:50 am

true Harry but you can buy dried curry leaves. I have some!!

7:51 am

Probably need to start getting the seed for planting in Feb, Harry.

7:51 am

oh - there is a curry tree!

7:51 am

I did not know that

7:51 am

it looks like the aelanthus - evil tree of heaven

7:52 am

Pay heed to the Master Gardener

7:52 am

not getting that ar7

7:53 am

"Evil tree of heaven" sounds very contradictory.

7:53 am

Old and out dated, harry

7:53 am

ty bea :)

7:53 am

archeic

7:54 am

close!

7:54 am

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah so sorry

7:55 am

i'm going to go and wash up!!!!

7:55 am

21 to go. gotta go to class

7:55 am

bye!

8:02 am

This grid is miserable. Off to pursue other snipe. See y'all tomorrow!

8:05 am

Why does no one ever wash down? : D

8:06 am

I do. Wash down the stove, the countertops...

back with coffee

8:11 am

Is it helping?

still 19 left. was elsewhere. :D

6 words missing from 4th row, and that's just 2 tiles. thank goodness for the bottom row.

8:23 am

hi all

8:24 am

Hi, jm.

8:30 am

I had a curry plant once. I didn't find it as good as curry made from a group of spices.

8:31 am

yeah I won't get very far in this grid

8:37 am

I can't remember the last time I saw a grid with only five vowels

put an ant trap here the other day and still have the random ant crawl across my desk :<

8:38 am

Is it a Terro?

8:38 am

that's not fun hokie

8:38 am

cinnamon deters ants. I use to circle my cat's food bowl with it every spring/summer

yes, terro

8:39 am

it alwasy took her a few days to get past the cinnamon smell next tto her food

may put another one in another spot. have to hide them behind furniture though so my dog doesn't get them

8:39 am

I used to line my kitchen windows with cinnamon sticks when we had an ant problem

I'm low on cinnamon right now

8:40 am

we have the little ants too hubby sprays by the front door but we have an area where the crown molding is missing and he doesn't spray there. I thin if he did, the spray may come in the house

who knows if that's available at the stores

that's probably where the ants come in the house, mlfan

8:40 am

just don't use cinnamon sugar! hahaha

that does seem counterproductive ;)

8:42 am

my husband says that ants get attracted by cinnamon rolls(I think he was kidding) as we have cinnamon rolls before and no ants at the time

8:42 am

i love cinnamon sugar

8:43 am

me too. when we were kids we put it on our pancakes instead of syrup

8:43 am

oh jmc i did too . if you like bananas, cinnamon is great on that too cinnamon/sugar

we always called the little ones "sugar ants" because they are attracted to sugar. but I don't really have any here in this room, they just come in this window next to my desk.

8:44 am

and on pancakes

8:44 am

whosh sugar on bananas sounds too sweet for me!

8:44 am

I know this sounds weird, but we loved it. My aunt would give us a shaker of powdered jello. We would put it on toast like cinnamon sugar.

8:44 am

hokie do you have anything you can spray on the ground outside ?

8:45 am

oh on pancakes. . .that is possible

8:45 am

powered jello is mainly sugar so that makes sense and you get all the pretty colors

8:45 am

cinnamon sugar on pancakes yum

8:45 am

And bananas rolled in powdered jello.

interesting, bea. my SIL taught me frozen grapes - you wash grapes, put them in a ziploc with a box of grape jello and shake, then freeze, and they are delicious

8:46 am

powdered jello on toast so much better then jelly or jam lol

8:47 am

Yes, we do the frozen grapes without the jello. Will try the jello on them next time.

ok, gotta get ready for a mt. bike ride. 17 left for later. I foresee the list in my future.

8:48 am

have a nice ride hokie

8:48 am

I love jam on toast. Especially home made jam.

8:48 am

orange marmalade on toast for me

8:49 am

Yes, my peach and blueberry jams are yummy on toast.

8:49 am

or ginger marmalade

8:49 am

We also like pepper jelly on toast with bacon or sausage. That is good.

8:49 am

but right now my go to sweet is a little ginger syrup in plain yoghurt

8:49 am

oh bzzn jalepeno?

8:49 am

Ooo, pepper jelly and cream cheese, I love that.

8:50 am

jmc greek yogurt or regular yogurt?

8:50 am

dang you are making me hungry

8:50 am

*Stares at crackers on desk, wishes she had pepper jelly

8:50 am

i have never had pepper jelly

8:50 am

Yes, a little bit of jalepeno. Mostly colored bell peppers. Just enough spicy peppers to give it a kick at the end.

8:51 am

I prefer greek but not important as long as it is plain and not vanilla

8:51 am

oh it is wonderful if you like spicy MLF

8:51 am

i like spicy but not too spicy

8:52 am

I only buy plain yoghurt so that I can control the sweet. . . if any. Like it fine without sweet

8:52 am

Good morning all, and help plz. Clue for 2nd re 5/12 plz and I too love pepper jelly and cream cheese...on a bagel. Yum!

8:53 am

well there are varying degrees of spicy with pepper jelly just like with most things spicy and you can mix it with another jelly like tomato jelly

8:53 am

greek plain yogurt though sour i still love it

8:54 am

never had tomato jelly,, i am not one for regular tomatoes so doesn't sound good to me

8:54 am

pcal....it's like the first one....different vowel on the end....

8:54 am

tks pen will look

8:54 am

hi penq

8:55 am

hi jm...

8:55 am

One more annoying covid related inconvenience...My library card needs to be renewed so I can continue reading books downloaded to my tablet. Library still closed...

8:56 am

have you tried emailing someone at the library?

8:56 am

pen I think we are looking at different words. First re is re 5/14 which I have. Also have next word which is re 5/12. Need 3rd re which is 2nd re 5/12.

8:56 am

No one at the library to call or email...

8:57 am

MLF there are other options. . .cucumber jelly is very refreshing if not made too sweet

8:57 am

Third re/12 is same as second with different vowel at end

8:57 am

there are three RE 12 words....two are almost the same....

8:58 am

ok, tks again will keep looking

8:58 am

bzzn give it a try with the call/email. A lot places that are closed still are staffing customer service

8:58 am

just take the one that ends with a vowel and change it....don't look for it...it's twisty....

8:58 am

... the first two re5/12 are anagrams

8:59 am

I will, jm. Thanks. Guess I could pick a real book off our shelf. =)

8:59 am

geez! was sure I had tried that already! FWs

8:59 am

other re5/12 is to do a play on stage

8:59 am

congrats....

8:59 am

haha no sense getting carried away bzzn

8:59 am

I'm off for the day...See you all tomorrow.

8:59 am

9:01 am

... ar7/40 8/50 .... like most of the complained about words in enable they're old ... and a person who looks for old useless or unused things

9:02 am

I think I've tried every permutation I can think of

9:02 am

... ca6/24 ... french for notebook

9:03 am

carnet not in grid. that is french for notebook. not sure what is wrong.

wtg MLF

9:26 am

9:47 am

i am not getting the ar 7 or 8.

9:47 am

Poor Bea, she missed happy hour

9:48 am

9:50 am

9:51 am

just got the ar words. whew. that took a me a while. ty.

9:51 am

9:53 am

I got the ar8 but not the 7 yet. some day.

9:54 am

ha! finally got the 7!

9:55 am

Person who runs a register without the H is the simplest clue for ca6/24

9:56 am

Gads WITHOUT THE S, sorry

9:57 am

It is not a long jump from the 8 to the 7 : D

10:00 am

Afternoon all - trying to think about who runs a register :)

10:01 am

Aaaaah - nm!

10:01 am

They often handle a lot of paper money, hence the term

10:01 am

Once I read further and realised that it was the S that was missing, it all became clear :)

10:02 am

but in matty's case they put on the pounds :D

10:02 am

english currency joke

10:03 am

There is probably some cutesy UK term for register I don't know? County Machine?

10:03 am

Haaahaa!

10:04 am

Aaah - the till. You pay at the till

10:04 am

morning all

10:04 am

Some people here use that term too.

10:06 am

Although, we prefer stills.

10:06 am

:D

10:07 am

I shall get a beer shortly. It's the thing I look forward to a bit too much, I think, at the moment. Jeff played golf today (despite the wind and intermittent rain) - I've been in at the computer all day, mostly working

10:07 am

Cheers Matty.

10:08 am

Slante!

10:09 am

Nothing says YAY better than a cold beer at the end of a long day.

10:09 am

takes the edge off working all day I think

10:09 am

although I don't drink beer

10:09 am

I'm looking forward to one or two this evening for sure

10:09 am

Yeah - something to look forward to and to take the edge off things

10:10 am

What's your tipple of choice, Ru?

10:10 am

but i get the process :D

10:10 am

Usually a glass of wine Matty, but i've been off wine for a month (dieting)

10:10 am

Well you're in a good spot for wine mr rocks

10:11 am

funny how it worked out that way mool :D

10:11 am

I do like wine. too. And gin. I'm an equal opportunity imbiber

10:12 am

total coincidence I'm sure

10:12 am

in hard alcohol i like scotch, bourbon, and gin in that order Gin in the summer

10:12 am

it's not a bad beer area for that matter either

10:12 am

no we have great breweries here for sure

10:13 am

mad fritz, russian River Brewing co.. etc

10:13 am

it is a good area for food and drink for sure

10:13 am

yeah, it's where I came into the US...first taste of American beer in the US was Anchor Steam, Sierra Nevada Pale Ale followed up by Mendocino Redtail Ale

10:13 am

Bear Republic

10:14 am

Anderson Valley

10:14 am

not so much for single men over 60 though :D

10:14 am

mad fritz! that's what my cat is.

10:15 am

Notice how Hursh can always bring the conversation back to cats? : D

10:16 am

it's pretty easy to do lol

10:16 am

How many cats you have hursh?

10:17 am

Unfortunate for Ru, as the subject of cats is verboten for him now. : D

10:17 am

i have 3

10:17 am

cool, me too

10:17 am

fritz wreaked some havoc last night

10:17 am

(lips are zipped)

10:17 am

oh yeah?

10:18 am

I was just about to look up the nursery rhyme/song about little cats, but realised I really didn't want to do that on my work computer ;) Now someone will ask me what I mean, but I can't look it up!

10:18 am

yeah, knocked over a glass candle and the edge broke and there were little pieces of glass on the floor

10:19 am

ah, yes...

10:19 am

also knocked over my water bottle but that didn't do any actual damage

10:19 am

I once left my laptop on the sofa, came out next morning to find a vase laying on it with flowers strewn on the floor

10:19 am

fun times

10:20 am

my cats like to open the cupboards and draws and go exploring in the night

10:20 am

now he's pestering Opie by batting his tail when he was trying to sleep

10:20 am

(zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz\nzzzzzzz)

10:20 am

heh

10:20 am

May I have a nudge please....on the ho6/21?

10:20 am

I think our dog thinks it's a cat

10:21 am

perhaps someone who deals with ropes matty

10:21 am

a person who lifts a beer matty :D

10:21 am

the funniest thing fritz does is chase his tail, but ONLY in the bathtub and ONLY if he doesn't think you're watching. if he sees you peek in he will stop.

10:21 am

Is that not the 7?

10:21 am

oh sorry

10:22 am

look at my clue matty

10:22 am

You know it would be bad if you posted about.....wreaking havoc Ru. And thanks for blowing the chat width.

10:22 am

the 6 is someone who sells/makes stockings and socks

10:22 am

oh.. a sock person

10:22 am

A person who lifts a beer....me! Ah, thanks mool

10:22 am

yw

10:23 am

I thought an ho6 was someone with a nylons fetish : D

10:23 am

and don't forget to lop the H off that for another word

10:23 am

or a guy who is well endowed is ho6

10:23 am

well it could be someone who is more like a common canadian put-down

10:27 am

hmm, the Cs are a bit tough

10:29 am

ceriously :)

10:30 am

phantom: hectic

10:38 am

only c I have is cr46 and how I feel about this grid

10:38 am

well, there's french notebook

10:38 am

have one c to go...some unusual ones in there

10:38 am

an odd spelling for a benign mass one might have in one's body

10:39 am

what you do when you need to refer to another book in your writing, and the person who does so

10:39 am

haha I would have to know french. but i got the mass ty

10:39 am

there's a sort of jagged rock word

10:39 am

and ce4/6

10:40 am

and a 5 that rhymes with ernie's pal on sesame street

10:40 am

ty hursh that moved me right along!

10:40 am

I made 1/2 way

10:40 am

there's also a character out of game of thrones

10:40 am

and plural

10:40 am

10:41 am

yesss, guessed it anyway

10:41 am

10:41 am

10:41 am

10:41 am

thanks moo

10:42 am

yw

10:42 am

10:43 am

All done. Anything before I go?

10:43 am

oh, matty, yes, i have ra8, what is the other 8?

10:46 am

It's ar8

10:46 am

It's trickier, in my opinion than the ra8

10:47 am

well that would be why i found the less tricky one first

10:47 am

ar8/50

10:47 am

got it!

10:47 am

that leaves my middle C, and a P and a T, all 6 letter wods.

10:47 am

words

10:48 am

hello everyone..I have a cat story. On Feb 29th we had one black male cat Onyx our granddaughter couldn't keep. We now have 7 cats. On Mar1st we took in a skinny little tabby boy and on March 2nd a grey female not much bigger. On April 30 the grey gave birth to 4 kittens. We figure she must have been expecting when she came to our back door.

10:48 am

Hurrah!

10:48 am

Right, I'm off now. Have a great day all!

10:48 am

wow cool west

10:50 am

We think we might have homes for 3 of the 4 kittens who are darling btw but all our shelters are shut down. Margaret, the mother and Owen the tabby will be fixed as soon as the vet opens but OMG 7 cats

10:50 am

Sounds as if you're a cat magnet, west! Well done. Our cats have always been strays who rocked up to the door one day and never left. It shows they really want to be with you.

10:51 am

pregnant cats always seek a house to be taken in, in my experience

10:51 am

We certainly are cat magnets. One night a raccoon even showed up at the door. The word must have gotten around.

10:52 am

that is how I got several of my cats. Mama came, gave birth, and then hit the road.

10:52 am

bye matty

10:53 am

cr6 = Scrooge's clerk Bob - it

10:54 am

The ones that showed up at our house were all males. Two had already been doctored but we got the latest one done and since then, he is the fattest, laziest cat ever.

11:46 am

just change one vowel nan, and you have it

11:47 am

one vowel AND one consonant

11:47 am

and one consonant -- ty vash

11:48 am

I somehow missed that...It sounds similar

11:48 am

Fridays are so damn long (she said to a room full of people who don't work)

11:49 am

uhhhh...I am supposed to be working

11:49 am

something else new learned -- but as someone said the other day -- at our age learning something new isn't difficult, the trick is to remember it

11:49 am

12:32 pm

I like that word too

12:32 pm

12:32 pm

liking a word and wanting to travel to exotic places are two very different things lol

12:36 pm

I like the word and would want to travel there :)

12:38 pm

*!*~*!* thanks for the help :)

12:39 pm

whoo hooo cyber

12:40 pm

when you think of hurshy, think of cats and then think scaredy-cat

12:40 pm

It saddens me to think that our long distance travel days are over. I had hoped for another trip to Europe this spring, but covid-19 has put the kibosh on that and possiblly for next year as well. Still hoping for a Panama cruise in the future though -- maybe iin 2021 or 22 if we are still able.

12:40 pm

haha hursh!

12:43 pm

I'd rather be in nepal than the US

12:43 pm

Could I have a clue for ca6 please?

12:43 pm

I think that is only mutually exclusive in temporal existence

12:43 pm

french notebook, jaz

12:43 pm

*jax

12:43 pm

well the US is no picnic, i'll give you that. but i like to be in places where the signage is in the alphabet i know.

12:44 pm

at least i can puzzle out some word parts if i know the alphabet

12:45 pm

I would like to go to Nepal and back to Scotland and to Ireland. . . and anywhere I have never been before including Kansas!

12:45 pm

I can understand that, hurshy -- it's why the hesitated to take the czech rapid transit on our own -- by the time we figured out where we were, the station had gone by

12:45 pm

ditto the anywhere I havent been before

12:46 pm

Thanks nan

12:46 pm

yw jax

12:49 pm

hagd everyone - stay safe

12:55 pm

ah I see its stick the same ending of every word game

1:33 pm

Strange, I am finding that many of these words have different endings.

1:33 pm

We have a trip planned to Chile and Argentina in December. I'm half hoping we can pull it off, and half hoping it gets cancelled so that we don't have to decide....

I'm back and on the list and can't find the very first word!

1:42 pm

Check the chat, it's been clued a bunch of times

ok. that tells me it's a weird one then. will look. also can't find 3 ar's so it may be the wrong time for me to be looking.

still 9 left with the list. I need a nap. TTFN

stats only please for the stand alone 8?

ok, I'm still here instead of napping. wanted to finish.

both 8s are connected to other words

I assume you mean ar8/50 though

well, looked up 3 or 4, trying morewords for the first time. will take me a while to get used to that site. anyhoo, finished, see y'all tomorrow.

2:37 pm

could I have a clue for the first th5/14 please?

2:42 pm

NM got it

2:49 pm

Could i have a clue for cr6/24 please?

2:51 pm

Does the ar7 start off with the ar4 before it?

3:32 pm

could anyone clue the ar8 please

It is probably the pl of the ar7 before it.

3:32 pm

I dont have that lol

3:33 pm

It's not. Gimme a sec...

3:34 pm

Nm I got it thanks Champ

I didn't any clues?

3:35 pm

starts from the first column A....uses the ar4/6, add a vowel and the ending that means "one who does or is"

3:35 pm

I know...sucky clue...sorry!

3:36 pm

the ar7 means very old Marc

got them both thanks

3:52 pm

Champ, are you still here? Why don't real estate listings include number of bedrooms anymore?

3:56 pm

They do! What website are you using?

3:57 pm

Maybe it is a thing in my area.

3:58 pm

I looked up my parents old house, and there were no bedroom listings. And none for any of the houses in the area.

3:59 pm

If you're looking up past sales on Zillow or anything other than your local listing site, you'll get erroneous information. Your main MLS will have current info. If you need something, just let me know and I'll pull it for you. Happy to help.

4:00 pm

Sadly, though everyone loves Zillow...their info isn't kept current.

4:01 pm

And is usually inaccurate.

4:04 pm

That is funny. When I was looking around the internet for the answer I saw an article called "Why Real Estate agents hate Zillow". Thanks for the offer to help. It's no big deal. I was just curious at the amount of residents listed in some of the houses, most of which are only 4 bedrooms. 16 people in a 4 bedroom house??

4:24 pm

DON'T GET ME STARTED. ,I had a seller yell at me for including their refrigerator (not included in Texas), because Zillow had it included. ERRONEOUSLY.

4:24 pm

User friendly doesn't mean "accurate".

4:24 pm

I could go on, but won't clog the chog with that nonsense.

4:31 pm

Well, I appreciate any tips you can offer, even though I am many dollars away from being a buyer.

4:33 pm

help with first ce5 pls. hi all

4:41 pm

c + a jumble of the grain that goes with Chinese food

argh, another "little" grid -- diving in

8:13 pm

I can't believe the things that come out of the US Presidents mouth - just shameful

OMG what did he say now?

8:16 pm

Just saw the news clip - hang on find it

8:17 pm

In the middle of a news conference on improving jobs numbers Friday, President Donald Trump said George Floyd was "hopefully looking down and feeling good." "Hopefully George is looking down right now and saying, 'this is a great thing that's happening for our country.' This is a great day for him. It's a great day for everybody. This is a great day for everybody.

totally speechless -- i will not go on a rant out of respect for the fact that the focus of this chat is the game, not the stupendoulsy racist idiot in the white house

I had a feeling that was the quote.

8:18 pm

I honestly think sometimes he is just stupid - maybe he just thinks the people who vote for him are stupid and gullible. Probably why he repeats things 3 times !

(and thanks for sharing)

Even shock me

Sadly, it didn't even shock me

not stupid, he's a malnar (malicious narcissist) -- he believes he is god, more or less

8:19 pm

Sorry - perhaps shouldn't have brought it up here but I was just so shocked.

Oh, he is stupid. Not just that he doesn't know things, but that he's an immensely stupid, incurious individual

yeah, i didn't mean he was smart, i meant that when he says crap like this it's because he's a malnar

Yes. He is a host of ugly characteristics.

he repeats everything three times because that is a good technique to convince people you're not lying -- because he knows he's lying

oops, i said a word in the grid, going to the penalty box

I have 8 words left. They're from six squares, five letters. They're all fours and fives. And I'm trying to decide whether to keep going or to throw in the towel.

8:26 pm

I'm finding this little one toughish

perhaps one of us can clue ya

I haven't listed so I don't know what I'm missing

8:29 pm

what are the 8's please?

i just listed and it's not helping me much LOL

AR 8/50, RA 8/50

got the ra8

Woot!

The AR is weird. There's also a seven associated with it, but it's not a plural.

OFFS how can I have had the ho7 but not the ho5 it's based on?

8:41 pm

that middle C has got a lot to answer for IMHO

Down to one. How can I not find a four letter word? Four letter words are most of my vocabulary!

go go go samantha !!!

Oh for fucks sake. I've just spent ten minutes chasing down a phantom.

8:46 pm

is it a C Samantha?

8:46 pm

Congrats Sam!!

I *have* eleven R words, but the stats only recognize ten of them. Let's see if a reload helps.

8:47 pm

Bye everyone

Bye lynxxx

Aaaand a reload is no help. Oh well, I'm done here.

15 to go here, thinking about eating instead

fw, had to use the morewords website for a few of those weird ones

11:07 pm

whee, done! laters, all.
