sheesh, there are some really *doh!* words today....
I'm actually struggling. Maybe I haven't had enough coffee
It's not a walk in the park Matty. They never are. : D
It's rather hot today, here, for a walk in the park ;)
It's 30C (84F) now...it'll get up to 33C, apparently. And we have no air conditioning
Sorry, 86F now up to 91 later
I'm out on east coast, 88F predicted today with 94 percent humidity....going to be a rough one. Looking forward to getting back to west coast!
Oh Matty, I don't know how you do it with no air conditioning.
I have a fan and the windows open. It's the best I can do. My car has aircon - perhaps I should work from there ;)
We may get thundershowers tomorrow

Good morning, all.
Good morning, Judi.
It's often in grids, yet ar7 fails to gain a place in my memory banks.
Th7?
2nd column blacked out. :-)
I'm not sure how to clue that th7 It ends in the two letters that are keeping us cool right now.
good clue ty!
I'm off to start my day...See you all next time.
Does the th7 start with a 4 letter word in the grid?
ar7, please?
was in yesterday's grid, too, marc
like a city in GA without its first letter
It is a short opera song
I really want to make attic for that first a
Tx for the th7!!
oh, th 7 was in yesterday's as well. thx! done with 7's already? I just have 3 words total. :D
The th7 starts with a three letter word and ends with the last 4 of someone who is always going to the doctor thinking they have one illness or another
it's molasses :D
I did have to look it up last night. thank goodness I remembered it for about 14 hours.
I wasn't here yesterday, so I didn't get the Ar7 clue.
Can't think of the GA city.
well, molly gave another
the GA city starts with M
Whoops. Just dawned on me! Got it and Fireworks.

oh - that's the one you have :)
yes, I had the easy one, so I was glad you had the weird one
I thought you were saying the word wasn't yours - that somebody gave it to you
lol
I always get the female genital one - I had a student with that name who I really disliked, so it all works out well.
um...stat?
the yo4/6
ah

and Venus Flytrap
Les Nessman
oh yeah - he was hilarious
I have a cu6/24 from upper c, will look for that, thanks
ru, is that a weird word?
latinize it
there are two cu6/24's

the cu6/24 was part of the papal court
thought i'd try to pope in a clue
I diocese what you did there
(bad puns day)
Oh, that's also from the top c, not the left. Also, if you still need an a it's ac4
We need the fries hat Pope icon back
omg, can't believe I missed that. thx, vicuna
and that should make stumbling onto it easier, looking at the other c there's more options
The cardinal rule of Babble is that every day is bad pun day. =)
i read how the recently fired McDonald's CEO was caught grabbing happy meals

LOL
like Steve Martin in The Jerk?

vicuna with the twofer!
Cu6 radioactive material......now what about the other one, please?
7 left
it looks latin for stuff you might find in a ripley's museum
but it doesn't actually mean that
It's what sparked abbot a dozen papal puns.
my missing c on the left was my last 4 - ch4/11. who knew
like that was a cardinal sin or something vicuna?
anyone want to guess my missing v?
a place of music ve5?
nope
Nope, I in-Sistine that you keep going, ru.

Well, it looked good on papal.

today was just...yuck
sorry, 7/36
Oh. That's a shame.
if you finished yesterday it was in there, molasses
didn't finish yester. Do you have a clue?
We visited there (the towns too). Favorite place was Louisa May Alcott's home. Funniest was Sleepy Hollow cemetery. I spotted several graves with family names and joked with my husband, oh look! We laughed it off. A few years later I got into genealogy and ... WHOA! Turns out I'm a direct descendant of one of the founding members of Concord. LOL!!
my clue was molasses. ends in thing houses and cars in the south can't live without.
th7 weird one to clue, but somebody earlier said it ends in short for what we need in the heat
first four letters of temperature taking device + vowel + carla's last two letter clue
Heh, you'll end up a headless horseman yet, ch1212!
lol!
maybe you have some witch blood
oh, no doubt there HH ;)
never going to find these last 4. going to the list!
ty Harry, carla
I'm feeling that way about my last 11 carla

ou5/12
contrats Bichon
Thanks
yw
well, just missing a p5
one who receives a check?
or cheque
Good chance it is the po5
oh, I think it's po5
There is an echo in here
pinch poke, you owe me a coke.
No my dear, you owe me a beer
fw! Night all :) Unless anyone needs a clue?
ah yeah, that's a word
tx to both of you
Not a word most people know
not even dictionary.com knows
po5: an armadillo, Euphractus sexcinctus, native to South America and characterized by its six moveable bands
po 5,18 - the one the dictionary does not know - ugh! But the list knows cuvee and raita and they are not recognized. I was happy to find cuvee. Thanks for the definition of po5 Hurshy
cuvee and raita were added in later versions of the dictionary
Sometimes I feel like people are posting in a language other than English here.
ugh, an amazon package says USPS tried to deliver this morning but was unsuccessful and now they're holding it per my request. none of that is true. and they didn't leave a note or anything so I don't even know when it is supposed to be available for pickup and I have to go inside the PO when I do.
this was the 4th out of 4 curtain rods I ordered all at the same time and they each shipped separately. got 3 the other day, each in a box big enough to hold 10 or 12.
I guess I'm never seeing the 4th
Carla - My amazon package delivery alerts say the same thing...it usually means the package arrived at the local PO and will be delivered by the postal worker the next day :)
th 7/36 please?
not here + hypocondr***
yeah, it has to be something screwy like that, angela. no way were they actually here this morning and no reason they wouldn't have been able to leave it. no signature required, no dog in the yard.
thanks Dorens, thats fw for me :-)
I wasn't going to head to the PO today anyway, I did that once before and it was still on the truck that supposedly tried to deliver. that's why it's nice when they leave an actual note saying when it's available to pickup.
phantom: penuche
help with center eye pls and right column e
hi all
found the ep word
EY4
no it was ep5
Ca4 before walking with a ca**?

Sorry....thought I tried that one!
No worries at all â¤
boy do i need help. any clues for he 8 out therre? ty
po8 is more like what a joey rides in
that is a big assumption that MKG or any of us know what a joey is
i know what a joey is and still dont get the ending. i have first 5 of course.
think about the suffix meaning 'more like'
tried ett ending, ey ending, ine ending etc. hmmm
got it! great clues pastor! ty.
More like the place on a mother's stomach that the joey rides in
yw!
hate to say it but what about the 7s? dont have either of those either. ty.
can't help you there - on my way out for the night, no FW for me!
what's a joey?
I thought Pastor's clue was great, especially for someone who knows what a joey is
the only Joey I know is Mr. Bishop and he's dead
I know what a joey is, but I will let mkg answer
a joey is a baby kangaroo...........
one who lives in its mothers po***.
missing the E word for the 5th column E. any clues? ty
anyone out there with a clue for that e? ty
sword
the classic fencing sword, mkg
darn harry and carla, i never recall that sword word. darn. is it en? or ea? or eo?
ep4
got it. blessed be google
ty for clues guys. great clue.
hi all, middle column done, and thanks for the ep4
so now only missing a seven to have nbs. any clues out there? ty
ar7 is like a suburb of atlanta ma8 without the m. or a small opera solo
well, both 7's were in yesterday's grid as well, and both are not words in my regular vocab
ty
th7 is another word for molasses
ty for ar 7. got it.
might be better off just checking thesauras.com for molasses
I think treacle is one of the more dissgusting words in the english language
ty
Harry, I tried to clue ar7 that way this morning and they didn't get it. :(
Or checking the chat. Lots of clues in the chat.
lol, treacle doesn't bother me
just shows treacle and black treacle. no th word.
sounds like goopy mucus
I agree Harry. Treacle is icky.
no th word for molasses. another clue perhaps?
so sleepy
c u all tomorrow
Night Harry
i have visited thesaurus.com and still am not getting the th7 -- help?
th 7 - an alternative meaning - a paste formerly used as an antidote to poison, especially snake venom, made from 60 or 70 different drugs pulverized and mixed with honey.
If you google that, the word comes up.
Fireworks. Have a good day / evening everyone.
