Hi, All. Back from the hospital after my eye injection. Ready todive into todays grid
Good morning, friends.
hi all.

Yep. I have, indeed, the opposite ;)
Plural of the 7
matty what is the stat please? ty
an7/40 and pl for the 8
what is it the opposite of?
i am sure first 4 are the an 4 word. not sure after
I....it is ... opposite :) (that's the definition)
It means opposite
ok got it. got both 7 and 8. ty
Danish and coffee/tea for all the patient cluers
My mantra for the day...patience
Good mantra Bea
I have to drive into and out of the big city during afternoon/evening rush hour traffic. And I have to sit in a dental chair in between...
‘Patient cluers’? What’s intended by that remark Molly? (As if that’s not blindingly obvious).
fa 6 clue please, either.
A cooling device, M3 & Sweeney ***d was the Barber of Seville
..... she clued patiently...
The other is the plural of the fa5 cooling device + hesitant sound

Cooling device, & Bah. h**bug, Scrooge used to say. & plural

Today my stinker letter was the D...I'm taking a Danish and coffee to go, Molly. Thank you!
I think maybe upper F was the wrong one to start with today
You are welcome Bea. Good luck with your day.
I came. I saw. I conquered. Now I shall chat. Good morning, Babblers.
nice. and good morning, judi
hi all. help with sn7 pls
Hey Judi. How is the day treating you?
This was a stinker of a grid, Bea. I relied heavily on Lickety. True confessions.
Well, Molls... I'm 45 minutes into my work day and have run out of things to do. Enter boredom.
How about you?
now this L. ugh.
sn7 past tense of what you call a pigs nose area
Oinker.
Luckily I have plenty to do. The day goes by faster that way.
BRB.
sheesh Molly thanks. already had the base word too
me too, but wasn't thinking of verb-ing it
there are 3 fl7's and I have 2 of them
You probably don't have the one that sounds like a Holiday Inn
got one, thx
for fish
I think I am missing that one
I'm sure that will make sense when I see the word
Think of a drink you make with root beer and ice cream
that you Molly
thank you even
oh, I was looking at the other F only
I am on the Worst Zoom Meeting Ever.
Poor Harry. I don't envy anyone those Zoom meetings. They sound awful.
I've got my camera off, so I can roll my eyes and nobody can see.
Did you start school yet, Harry? And did you daughter get moved in?
I have heard funny stories about people who forget their microphone is on.
*your
daughter moved in last thursday, we have faculty mtngs this week.
uh oh - gotta go participate in a "breakout room"
bbiab.
bye
*be back in a bit (I'm assuming, ru)
yes. apologies for the acronym. afta.
ffwtg

good morning/afternoon everyone :)
morning nan
we're learning covid violation protocols on zoom
uh, sounds... fun
we have to turn in kids who are not wearing masks.
Ah, a new reason to get busted at school
what will you turn them in to?
toads?
wishful thinking hurshy :)
And the poor teenagers. Now they have "maskne" to add to their angst.
hahaha can you tell i'm reading harry potter
ooh found my missing top F
just read the chat and discovred that my missing 7 is an fl --- i've gone down the river in an inner tube and gone against convention -- don't see anything else
oh it wasn't the 7 on that one? then i suppose it was the 5/16
river - change the last consonant
ty harry -- didn't think of that -- thought it was called a bo 6
yw
hey look we had that same sy5 yesterday
I just found it too,,,,
15 here
3rd row grey!
phantom: buoy
phantom: botany
phew mtng over. 13 to go here.
Are you a Certified COVID Cop now, Harry? : D
famiss - like "ooh look at that famiss Khardashian over there!"
molly it's spelled Kovid Kopp
"the day you lose someone isn't the worst -at least you've got something to do- it's all the days they stay dead." -the doctor, spot on as usual
Careful with those K's. Add another one and you will have a bad acronym.
heh - OK will stay vigilant.
that's heavy hurshy.
Hurshy's got her rose colored glasses on again
gosh that's a cheery thought
if you weren't here last week when i mentioned it, i recently had a friend die in a tragic accident and i'm finding that statement to be true
oh dear sorry
Sorry Hursh, didn't know
sorry hursh.. i must have missed that tragic comment
I went to yet another zoom funeral yesterday.
the worst of it is that the circumstances are such that his teen son is probably going to feel guilty about it all his life, even though he shouldn't
I think the phrase "Zoom Funeral" is just about the saddest thing I've ever heard
was his son driving?
no, they were mountain climbing
Is there someone who can get the son into grief counseling? Sounds like he needs it.
i'm sure they will arrange counseling, yeah
oh how awful.
was your zoom funeral someone who died of covid, harry?
no - my brother-in-law's mother. she was old.
ah, well, old is good
full life and all that
well, 80s probably. not that old,really.
full life for sure.
and fully expected
glad you corrected that Harry -- getting too close to 80 myself to consider it old anymore
:) nan. my dad is now 88, and it's tough to consider him old.
It's hard when you get to the ages you used to think of as "old"
gotta go get some lunch. will be back for my last 13.
especially when you don't feel much different but see all of your friends getting noticibly old :D
I keep seeing celebrities (like Kurt Russel) and thinking "how did he get so old?" And then a voice says "look in the mirror"
i think it's most weird when it's a celebrity you haven't seen in years, so they seem SUDDENLY old, not gradually
what does the 8 start with?
an 7-8 hurshy
thanks! 7s and 8 done!
why did i feel like floam is a thing
morning all, back to finish off these last 157
hiya mool
hey hursh, happy Tuesday
same to you
tx :)
Floam is that crafty foam substance that was popular when I was a kid
ah so it IS a thing, but maybe it's proper
It is sort of a made up word. Teachers who use texture love it.
all words had to be made up at some point :D
True, but they don't all stick. As much as people love brillig, it's still not a legal word
i have 144 words. how gross!
that kind of pun is a dime a dozen
but it's a baker's dozen that remains
and i'm VERY STUCK
I have the answer to life the universe and everything remaining
:D
and now I don't
you LOST the ANSWER to EVERYTHING? that's pretty sad man
I know, it was so fleeting
sy 6 please?

*Puts out a copy of The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Universe
nm - monkeyed it

Oh, Nan pulled a Peri

Yeah, I realized that. I guess I can't count
sy 6 ends in the aliem that wants to phone home
was going to try and clue alien, but difficult word to clue
thanks, got it!
don't know where to go when an et 5/16 isn't ethyl
bo 6/33?
An sy6 is a young trainee in the military who looks like all the other trainees
think about the way that words develop in language, cnan
macca, watch out or i might put a bo6/33 on your head and all the bo6 hunters will be after you!
nan, ends in a mother
ty hurshy!
and thanks for the letters for that and the sy6
and tx hursh for the clue too, didn't have that one
ty hurshy
Gratitude abounds!
I'd like to thank all the people that helped me get here
my mother and father of course...
*!*~*!* cooler today, so gardening ahead -- any clues wanted before I leave?
congrats nan
still have a double baker's dozen left here
generous baker
hagd everyone - stay safe :)
indeed, all that left over dough

Yes everyone. Wear your mask or Nan will hunt you down and kick your butt.
as long as you're in canada
although perhaps you can still fly
Do you think the border patrol could stop Nan? I don't.
they would just bureaucracy her to a standstill
Me, I wouldn't mess with Nan.
apparently you cant out [swiss/cowboy] sing someone
Even the mannequins in the Bloomingdale's store window are wearing masks. Thank God, because I was really afraid they would get COVID.
i bought a package of masks the other day. THEY were all wearing masks.
Well thank God for that too. I wouldn't want the masks to get COVID either.
sometimes wearing a mask is not a good idea: https://tinyurl.com/ybwbc5cd
I've now completed 6 of my 7 letters of rec for college.
finishing is the best feeling.
I will never understand wearing masks while driving
not sure why sinh and cosh are accepted, but not tanh
it's too hyperbolic
badum - math joke!
If I am driving a friend to a doctor's appointment I will wear a mask.
belody - a song sung by somebody with a very stuffed nose
sometimes I come out of the market and I'm driving home and halfway home I realize I'm still masked.

is it just me or is the D super tough? can only find 4.
just made up 3 that worked
It's just you ;)
just jokes
it could just be me, that's why I asked!
I have 13 of 15, but there's some unusual words
I only have 9 of the 15
there are 4 that start with the same 4 letters
hmm. does it rhyme with legolas?
no, that's a different pair
well I have 3 of those will look for the 4th
or trio I should say
I have 3 that start with those 4
yes, the four I'm thinking of are different
good then I have those

It's been pretty bad mich. But it is supposed to lighten up tomorrow. We'll see :D
I was supposed to go to Lake Almanor this week, up at Mt Lassen, but between covid and a cough I can't shake, I didn't go. I hope Cali can recover sooner than later.
