there are cobwebs in my brain but websters in Bea's

8:09 am

=)

8:09 am

Cobwebs? Ugh. : P

8:11 am

I have heard of photographic memory but never a dictionary-ic one. : D

8:11 am

I have a photographic memory when it comes to wine, but that's about it

8:26 am

I have a friend who seems to have a photographic memory about everything. It is rough playing Trivial Pursuit with him. We played it everyone against him and still lost.

8:27 am

Then I found out he was terrible at Pictionary.

8:27 am

it is such a gift I think to the people I know who are that way.. I wish I could remember more things in other subjects

8:28 am

well it is good to have a skill in anything ru

8:34 am

*A pat on the back from Merry Sunshine : D

8:34 am

i'm glad i have it in my biz.. helps me a lot

8:35 am

haha maybe why you are in your business!

8:35 am

I can think of worse things I have been called Molls

8:36 am

You called yourself that last week. I love it.

8:36 am

I forgot but I have called myself that before. It is aspirational.

8:37 am

It's much better than being Debbie Drama or Hannah Hysterical

8:38 am

one of my completely useless skills was that I could tell the percentage of what kind of thread was in fabric such as a wool poliester blend or a cotton polyester blend just by touching. Now I can't because they have gotten better at making plastic threads seem natural

8:38 am

you mean meh hannah hysterical?

8:39 am

Oh yeah, Call meh Hannah. Wasn't she friends with Ursula Ugh?

8:40 am

JMC - Fabric Intuitive

8:43 am

it was completely tactile and helpful back in the day. . . but now completely useless . . hahahah

8:44 am

finally found an 8 jeez

8:44 am

way to go ru!

I always try assed

8:45 am

i've got 35 words left and i only have one 8 they are really hidden

I have 3 7's :D

8:45 am

I always try all variations of ass hokie :D

but I have 211 left

8:46 am

i think assed only works in half-assed

yeah, I know it's hyphenated, but I still always try it. and my spell check was okay with it, didn't even underline it.

8:46 am

just got two more 8

8:47 am

8's

8:47 am

wtg ru

sugar free cookie for ru

8:48 am

does anyone have a word coming from the 4th column h?

yes

8:49 am

stats pls?

8:49 am

ha 4 and he 4

ha4/6

8:49 am

got it ty

8:49 am

ty hokie

8:50 am

Ru is on a strict diet of lean mean and grape nuts. : D

8:52 am

someone called a di 8 .. i sure don't see it yet

the long di words are usually chemistry

8:53 am

which would be dio right?

could be di anything

8:54 am

i need a break..

8:54 am

one of the di words is a grammatical marking but the only grammatical marking I can think of is diacritical

8:54 am

di8...to succumb and the candy re pieces minus a vowel

8:55 am

ty phae

8:55 am

yw

you lost me at candy re pieces

8:56 am

There are also cups

8:56 am

yeah I think I know the candy but the word isn't coming

8:56 am

peanut butter pieces

8:57 am

it rhymes with pieces

8:57 am

Come on folks, she gave 4 letters of an 8 letter word

8:57 am

I got it

ok, ET phone home

8:57 am

i love the cups

8:58 am

can't have the peanut butter :(

8:58 am

allergy/

8:58 am

?

that stinks. then you wouldn't know the cups are way better than the pieces.

8:59 am

agreed hokie the pieces are too sweet for me

8:59 am

I've never been a big M&M's or pieces person

not enough choc. in them for me. PB M&M's are way better

8:59 am

just doesn't agree with my stomach...an old age thing I guess

and nothing has ever been too sweet for me

9:00 am

phae i don't think so that's why i cant eat the pieces

9:00 am

m&ms are the same waoy

9:01 am

ate peanut butter my whole life, then all of a sudden started making me sick.

ugh, just saw there are 50 H's

9:01 am

that sucks phae .. i love peanut butter

phae, same thing happened to my grandmother with strawberries

9:02 am

I can have it in small doses but just better to avoid it completely

9:02 am

i saw that hokie

and my dad can't eat chocolate now without sneezing, but he ate it his whole life with no problem

9:02 am

that's a strange reaction to chocolate

9:03 am

?

yeah, I thought maybe my mom was just saying that but I've seen it in action

9:03 am

older you get the more different foods start to react with your body

9:04 am

m&ms have an interesting story. Mars Candy company is a family. Everyone is expected to work. No family member gets a fancy office.

also I've read the more exposures to an allergen, the worse your reactions get

9:04 am

I have heard of people sneezing at eating chocolate before

9:05 am

thats what i was wondering.. i used to eat pb and which i still do but the jelly/jam bothers my stomach now i guess again the sweetness.. i love elderberry and apple butter though

9:05 am

really jmc?

9:05 am

anyway two cousins decided they had had enough and they wanted to get rich on their own. So they made M&Ms (Mars & Mars) candy.

9:05 am

different foods or scents make my nose itch like crazy

9:05 am

they all work and treated equally i guess?

9:06 am

yes I have a friend that sneezes at chocolate

9:06 am

jmc thats cool

9:06 am

yes pretty much equally. Certainly equally with other employees.

9:07 am

the smell of pork butt makes me sick

9:07 am

So m&ms did well but not making the cousins rich, Mars agreed to buy them out and the cousins went back into the fold.

that is interesting

9:07 am

jmc wow

9:07 am

That was the story I was told in the 1970s. Who knows?

9:08 am

Cool candy story

9:08 am

They are still family owned

we have decided the M&M minis are way better than the original.

9:09 am

more sugar and less chocolate hokie

9:09 am

Wow the Mars family was the third richest family in America in 2016.

just a better ratio of chocolate to candy shell

9:10 am

when I don't eat sugar I don't miss it..after even a month

9:10 am

Give me a piece of dark chocolate any day

9:10 am

I don't eat a lot of sugar. . . so now even water tastes sweet to me.

9:11 am

jmc tap water?

well that's very odd since water has no flavor or anything

9:11 am

ruru i actually have days when i don't miss it either

9:12 am

i find once i start eating sweets i crave them every day so it's best for me to just pass on them now

9:12 am

I am a junk food fiend.

9:12 am

same here harry

oh, just saw the 32 c's

9:13 am

i had to do a double take hokie.

9:13 am

(waits till hokie notices 50 h's)

9:13 am

I'm still stuck on the 50 H's

9:14 am

(wonders if MLF will do a quadruple take)

9:14 am

well it hasn't changed so/.

I already saw and commented on those, ru. :(. found 37/50 before moving on.

9:20 am

at least I know now which d the di 8 comes from

9:20 am

ruru did you find it/

we all have the di8 now, you missed it on your break ;)

was able to find 24 c's pretty easily. moving on!

9:21 am

i found the di8 too

9:22 am

Ru, please try to keep up with Carla's running commentary on the grid.

9:22 am

9:26 am

9:27 am

ty Molly

ru, are the upper d's weird words? can only find 1/4

9:30 am

well i have three and they are not weird....

9:30 am

9:49 am

congrats ru.

9:51 am

well you had kids hokie. that's more important

9:51 am

well, I already had them when I joined in 2005 but whatevs

9:52 am

70 to go. bbl.

9:52 am

50 to go

45!

9:52 am

I had a kid tho, in 2011 :)

I just quit playing because I became obsessed with finishing every day no matter what

9:53 am

ah

9:53 am

yeah, I started that way...no longer

9:53 am

and I seldom play on weekends

yeah, back then I didn't want my rankings to drop and everyone was finishing every day. but when you take years off there's no way of catching up, so not as obsessive

9:55 am

i'm ok with two obsessions in my life

9:55 am

well, still have 5 eights to go

I have 2 left. got a clue for one but don't rem. how I got the other 3 or what they are. :D

oh, used clues for 2, and found 2 on my own

I guess cheshire is proper noun

9:58 am

place in england :)

was thinking more of the cat, which I guess was named after the place in england

9:59 am

not particularly known for cats, except for that one instance

41 left - 10 4's. guess I will focus on those

9:59 am

duh, have 2 eights now, forgot the other ending

10:00 am

10:24 am

phantoms: desert, dessert

10:26 am

Which is funny because we have been talking about sweets most of the morning

10:27 am

And just remember that stressed spelled backwards is dessert

10:27 am

which is very appropriate

10:28 am

perhaps the aptest of all linguistic coincidences

10:31 am

actually it is desserts molly ugh

10:31 am

ah true, true

10:31 am

must not be on top of my game today, not noticing that

10:32 am

name that proper noun! speaking of linguistics, famous Stone

10:33 am

rosetta

10:33 am

ding ding ding!!!

10:34 am

I couldn't figure out if she meant a real stone, a Rolling Stone or a person named stone

10:35 am

An8?

10:36 am

that's why i put in the bit about linguistics

10:36 am

10:56 am

esp hard to deal with them while working on the C

10:56 am

yes

10:56 am

24 to go, and 6 of them are off that c

10:56 am

I only have half of the c words

10:57 am

ah, found 2 more of them

10:58 am

just back. still 35 left when I came back. was hoping there would magically be less. but did get the an8 - brilliant clue, btw. so now 34.

10:59 am

oh, well guess I'll look for an an8, now that I know that ;)

10:59 am

I assume there are weird c's because my missing 8 are just not there

10:59 am

there's a couple of less common ones

10:59 am

still have 4 to go tho

11:00 am

sorry, assumed you were in the box here when it was clued

11:00 am

ah, there's the an8

11:00 am

nope, but that's okay, found it now

11:00 am

i just had a burst of monkeying success with the Cs and got up to 30 of them

11:00 am

I only know the first three letters of it

11:00 am

still two 8s to go

11:01 am

same here

11:02 am

woot, down to just 10 words!

11:02 am

basically all on just one pass through

11:03 am

i'd say this is a very nice grid!

11:03 am

shall we compare 8s to see if we have all the same ones or not?

11:04 am

i only have 2

11:04 am

hello friends. Quite the scatological grid today!

11:04 am

hi trif!

11:04 am

an8 (obvs), he8, st8 x 2

11:05 am

di8

11:05 am

oho

11:05 am

hi mlf!

11:05 am

11:06 am

monkeys, let's go!

this is the kind of grid i despise...

11:06 am

why owl?

11:07 am

oh dear, TO, why"

11:08 am

i know the first three of the an 8 can we reclue the last part of it please?

11:08 am

is the hi8 a comppund, please

11:08 am

mlfan, use the ending of the word for ()

11:09 am

parent...?

11:09 am

the ending, not the beginning...

11:09 am

11:09 am

I just need 1 8

11:09 am

11:12 am

11:12 am

11:13 am

i'm feeling mighty thick regarding this hi8

11:13 am

8's finished!

11:13 am

right there with you, hurshy, can't see it at all

11:13 am

well don't, it's a word I've never seen before.

11:13 am

clue?

11:13 am

it's the plural that are in a lot of the words today - a condition of excessive sweating

11:14 am

Woo hoo! Free lunch! One of the guys I work with just won a court case against his ex (she has been collecting alimony while re-married) and he is getting two years of payments back so he's treating to lunch. Yay for free lunch.

11:14 am

which one hurshy?

11:14 am

wow nice

11:14 am

wow, good for him

11:14 am

and you

11:14 am

11:14 am

was looking for hi8 clue MLF

11:15 am

see my clue at 11:13, hurshy

11:15 am

I love it when people share the joy. Especially when it involves free food. : D

11:15 am

ends in a flower/pl

11:15 am

and try to guess my missing D from the bottom :D

11:16 am

i'm missing one from there too hokie

11:16 am

thats not a compound.....!

11:16 am

it is the di8 that i am missing

11:16 am

i need one d from the 2nd column

11:16 am

trif you mean the di/

11:16 am

no trif, it does not seem to be, that threw me off too

11:16 am

did someone say it was a compound, trif?

11:17 am

it was clued as one this morning, but I gave you a def

11:17 am

I had thought so, yes, after I asked, but perhaps that was a response to a different question

11:17 am

its all good, found it

11:17 am

mlfan, do you have the leader of a college?

11:18 am

my dog chased a red squirrel into the house this morning - it's been an interesting day already!

11:18 am

what are the stats hokie?

11:18 am

ewww

11:18 am

ok and di8 is similarly a medicalish term

11:18 am

that's 8s done, and 8 other words to go lol

11:18 am

de4/5, mlfan

11:19 am

yes have that word...why?

11:19 am

i think i must list

11:19 am

I was just trying to guess your missing d from 2nd col

11:19 am

its a de word but no idea

11:20 am

nm, going back to my own missing words ;)

11:20 am

something that happens to us all eventually? de5/14

11:21 am

Not seeing di8......have two di7

11:21 am

have that hokie

11:22 am

apparently you can spell the world's fastest land animal with only one e...

11:22 am

une chocolate and peanut butter candy take out a vowel

11:22 am

the end of the word

11:22 am

yes, I had those already, hurshy. still need 8 c's though.

11:22 am

di8 sounds like you want peanut butter cups to kick the bucket

11:23 am

Hursh, I read that as world's fattest and could NOT figure out what you were talking about. : D

11:23 am

you can pluralize it too!

11:23 am

lol

11:24 am

i am mssing a 4

11:24 am

Got di8!!

11:24 am

congrats une

11:24 am

i liked my di8 clue, did you?

11:24 am

Well I clued hi8 as conceal the red flowers of love, but then it got all confused as a compound word.

11:25 am

what is my missing a (not an8)

11:25 am

an, di, he, hi, st x 2

11:25 am

Not concealing flowers?

11:26 am

no une, she DID conceal the flowers, the ones that by any other name would smell as sweet

11:27 am

Tx hursh!!

11:28 am

I liked your di clue very much, hurshy!

11:29 am

Still need he8.....

11:29 am

yay, thank you trif :D

11:29 am

he8, more like a scottish landscape?

11:29 am

it's a comparative, une

11:30 am

i absolutely STINK at cluing, so I bow to anyone who can put together a truly helpful one

11:30 am

Well if we are stuck on candy today, it's more like the toffee bar : D

11:30 am

im running over the alloteed lunch break I gave myself, but this is way more fun!

11:31 am

good one. by the way, Skor is way better than He5

11:31 am

but harder to find in stores

11:31 am

Alas, I can't eat that kind of candy anymore. Too much fragile dental work.

11:31 am

I bought a whole box when we went to hershey. and yes, both brands are hershey.

11:31 am

could someone help me with the first T word, first ta6 that is?

11:31 am

yes, it does tend to stick to your teeth

11:32 am

first one I have is a plural, hurshy

11:32 am

is it a plural of something you have the singular for? cause if so, that's not it

11:32 am

but I am missing one t from each of those upper t's, so that could be it

11:32 am

I can vouch for the dark chocolate peanut butter cups trader joe's makes - they are truly superiour

11:32 am

this one is before the first ta4

11:33 am

yes

ditto, trif

11:33 am

trif is suddenly canadian?

11:33 am

t + what you say when you open wide + abbreviation for your brothers wife

11:33 am

I like the TJ mini PB cups

11:34 am

thank you, molly! not a bad last word, no shame in it :D

ido not like the dark chocolate almonds, though.

11:34 am

wow, thanks

11:34 am

oh, now that ta word is just an everyday useful thing - eyeroll

i do love the dark chocokate with bits in it- yum!

11:34 am

More of the obscure Babble currency

11:34 am

LOL at the def

11:35 am

I love the TJ little sea salt caramel balls but can't eat those anymore

what's a zila? wait, i really do not care.

11:35 am

Oh,not currency. I thought a zila was money

11:36 am

yeah, that's what I was LOL'ing at the def. who knows what a zila is.

i do not like looking for a bunch of plurals, past tenses, and ones who

but the last few prior grids have been fun, interesting words.

11:42 am

phantom disease (and diseased/diseases)

11:42 am

my phantom today is the thing men can't ever find anyway

11:43 am

uh, is it dirty, trif? :D

11:43 am

its anatomical. nuff said

11:43 am

Yeah Hokie, that is exactly where I went too

11:43 am

'cause that's not a phantom, it's there

11:44 am

Keys is nowhere to be seen!

11:44 am

lol jax, not that one!

11:44 am

and yes, I did try it earlier

11:44 am

not the whole word, though - yeah, the shorter version is there though.

11:45 am

Well there are men who know exactly what they are doing in that department, so don't give up hope.

11:46 am

11:50 am

my goats are eating grapevines while i quietly sit babbling - ahhhhh

11:53 am

hi all. any clues for the 8s out there? would love stats and clues please.

11:54 am

you just missed most all of them, mkg - scroll down about an hour's worth

11:56 am

ty

11:58 am

11:58 am

12:29 pm

12:30 pm

has anyone seen kap lately?

1:34 pm

Hi folks. I just finished sending 403 emails for work. The data I needed to be sent was not in a format I could use to do a mail merge so I had to do each email separately. Ugh, I need a break!

*opens the bar* what's your pleasure, ori?

1:47 pm

Single malt, neat, please!

2:13 pm

200 down.....

2:21 pm

phantom - ersatz

2:23 pm

A fake phantom.

2:23 pm

hehs

2:24 pm

sorry

2:24 pm

Stupid mosquitoes : P

3:38 pm

down to 88 left and stuck

3:38 pm

17 left here peri, if I can help, let me know

3:38 pm

thanks mool. not listed yet so not sure what I need

3:39 pm

have all the 8's

3:39 pm

still missing 2 myself

3:39 pm

do you know what you are missing?

3:39 pm

nope

3:40 pm

it's okay, will continue to try and work my way through this

3:40 pm

do you want me to list the 8's?

3:40 pm

nah, that's okay...thanks anyway

3:40 pm

I will list soon

3:40 pm

ok

3:41 pm

taking a break bbl. you will probably be done then

3:41 pm

maybe, probably not

3:41 pm

often don't finish

still 17, moo? would totally play guess my missing word if you want.

3:59 pm

12 left now

4:00 pm

still a couple of fours to find

4:00 pm

11 and one 4 :)

4:08 pm

10 to go...sheesh

sorry, I got distracted. glad I could help. ;)

4:09 pm

thx!

4:11 pm

4s done...9 to go

riveting!

4:13 pm

yeah, and I still do have those 2 8s missing :)

4:14 pm

ah, 5s completed...7 to go

I think you can finish. most of my missing ones were plurals/past tenses, etc, that I should've gotten. yeah, I did get help on some 8's but you'll probably get them.

4:14 pm

40 here

4:14 pm

well I did get that one 8 from the two first letters you gave

4:15 pm

but that was an odd one

4:15 pm

some oddish c words

4:15 pm

ah, c's complete

4:15 pm

5 to go

so I'm guessing you don't know which 8s you're missing or you would find them

4:16 pm

right

4:16 pm

6,6,7,8,8 left

4:17 pm

just checking if I've missed any plurals

there are 2 that go together

4:17 pm

yeah, have those

what letters are left?

4:17 pm

I have those 2.

4:18 pm

missing 3 8s.

4:18 pm

one second

will just guess on my own and not give anything away

4:18 pm

I have D, H and T left...I'm assuming there's a h7/8 combo

4:19 pm

my h8 is not related to a 7

4:19 pm

nope

4:19 pm

oh, well then that helps

there is a weird h7 unrelated to anything

4:20 pm

then one of them has to be a D8

4:20 pm

35

I suspect one of your 6's is a weird t that I've never seen before

4:21 pm

gotta go rustle up some supper

4:21 pm

then both my missing 8s would be d's

was going to say it's early, but somehow it's 5:21!

but that is still early for supper for us in the summer

well, there's also an unexpected h8

only seeing one d8 on my list

4:22 pm

oh well I have one h8, if there's 2, then missing one

4:23 pm

he5/14 8/50 .... hi8/50

yep, a new one to me

your missing d is probably a 6, but it is hard to play that game with you because you know all words and sometimes miss easy ones

so maybe d6, d8, t6, h8, h7

4:27 pm

I have that d I think

there are 2 d6 I had in mind

4:29 pm

... how about dr6/24 ... the Hannukah thing ... with apologies for spelling

that was the 2nd one I had in mind, but I try not to give it away :D

and I in no way am saying you are giving things away, I just know how moo plays

4:35 pm

yeah, that was the one I was missing, forgot to make it out of clay

4:36 pm

sorry had to do work stuff for a couple of mins

4:36 pm

4 to go

LOL, I almost said earlier that you could make it out of clay

4:36 pm

so missing an h8 and a d8

4:37 pm

and probably an h7 and a t6

so, d8, h8, h7, t6

yes

4:37 pm

yeah

lag

the t6 I'm thinking is a foreign word

4:42 pm

is the d8, de or di?

di

4:42 pm

oh, there it is

4:42 pm

3 to go

4:43 pm

not fond of all theses s's

same

4:44 pm

ta for the 6?

yes

4:44 pm

yoiks, that's a word

4:45 pm

2 to go

4:45 pm

ah, an Indian word apparently

I love that the def. has a word in it that i have no idea what it means

h7 and h8?

4:45 pm

is the hi8 a compound word?

nope, yet another pl. with the ending du jour

4:46 pm

oh yay

4:48 pm

How do English speaking people just "oh there it is" for words like the ta6? I will never get that.

4:49 pm

not sure that I truly speak english, some approximation maybe ;)

4:50 pm

ah, found the 7...pure guess

thanks for asking exactly what we were all thinking, molly

was about to tell you the 7 was another plural without a singular in the grid. well done.

4:51 pm

so just this 8 now...

oh, I thought you had them all.

can give you a def, but that may be too easy for you

4:53 pm

oh...something I do for valentines day each year

excessively sweat?

4:53 pm

ah yeah, no

4:54 pm

I conceal the gifts

FTR, Molly clued it similarly earlier and that led to confusion about it being a compound word or not

4:55 pm

yeah, not every clue I've ever given has translated either

4:55 pm

but I do like lateral clues

4:55 pm

hi all. back to finish with list. 70 left

4:55 pm

wb peri, just fireworked with the help of hoke and dos

4:56 pm

wd mool

ru had a very clever clue this morning and now I can't remember it. have to check the log.

5:19 pm

Hi all. listing my last 35.

5:26 pm

5:26 pm

5:30 pm

6:41 pm

I think it was your ta clue that worked for me, Molly, so thanks.

6:42 pm

So many weird words in this one. Especially the ones with the es endings.

6:42 pm

ch 6/27 pls - after the young person

6:43 pm

Clues in the chat have helped me a lot with this grid.

6:43 pm

add a vowel to the previous word....ch 8

6:43 pm

sorry....CH 6 not 8

6:43 pm

ty molly

6:44 pm

6:49 pm

Can't believe how long it took me to find the 2nd h in the 4th column!!!! :(

6:49 pm

Congrats. Down to 6 here.

6:51 pm

nice...

6:51 pm

my last word was a PT....

6:52 pm

On large grids it's often pt and plurals which are missed

6:52 pm

too true....

6:52 pm

Or simple words like re 5/10 - to look again, which I've just found.

6:54 pm
