Good morning, ori. Hope you are safe from the fires.

8:14 am

I am safe. Thanks, Bea. We are pretty overwhelmed by smoke here, though not as bad as some places.

8:15 am

Will you be safe from Hurricane Sally, Bea?

8:18 am

Yes. She will be just rain by the time she gets to us, if she does.

8:18 am

Oh, good. I wasn't sure how far north the high winds will go.

8:19 am

It has been a rough hurricane season for the folks in New Orleans.

8:20 am

I can't believe there have been so many that they are at T.

Yes, I feel for those folks.

good morning all -- been trying to get news on the CA/OR/WA fires, but nothing on TV yet --- all we have is the smoke! Glad to see you back and safe ori -- no word from ruru yet?

10:12 am

Ru is fine, I heard from him last night.

10:13 am

oh - good to hear - ty molly

10:17 am

You're welcome Nan. I was just reading about an anti-Trump mini series that you will probably love. : D

10:18 am

that man angers me so much that i turn the TV off whenever he appears

10:18 am

Ditto, Nan!!!!!!

10:18 am

I don't know how any human being can be so bloody deceitful and callous

10:18 am

I love Brendan Gleeson and he really nails the part of Trump.

10:19 am

And cruel!!

10:24 am

Why do women support him?

10:26 am

it is an interesting psychological question

10:27 am

like if you watched Jordan Klepper (comedian) interviewing people at some pro-trump event, asking them about Trump's blatant statements about his ability to assault women, they would say "oh it's just locker room talk" and he would ask, "so does your husband/brother/son talk like that?" and actually as i recall they said "no"... i think that people often don't follow their own logic through...

10:28 am

why do self professed Christians support him? He is the least christian-like person I could think of

10:29 am

we need a de 6 key for bad political leaders (or non-leaders)

10:29 am

well they've kinda lost the plot. i think a lot of them have redefined Christianity beyond recognition. others just think all that matters is getting conservatives onto the Supreme Court and overturning Roe v Wade to make abortion illegal.

10:29 am

Yet those same people will point out that Biden was sniffing a girl's hair or kissed his granddaughter on the lips and bring his morals into the antiBiden talk.

10:30 am

I agree cybernan

10:31 am

morning all

10:32 am

Every day I get a propaganda post card from the Republican party that "Joe Biden and the radical left are attacking our values. Their agenda is clear." What values? Trump has none.

10:32 am

Morning moolingwa

10:32 am

hey em, happy Tuesday

10:33 am

well, one of the values would be to do with abortion, and another would be their right to have nothing to do with anyone LGBTQ+, and basically anything they perceive as diminishing the dominance of "white Christian America"

10:34 am

they have this idea that if LGBTQ+ stuff is very open and discussed in society, that it will cause their children to be gay or "experiment" with it

10:35 am

don't forget the right to carry assault weapons that all those Christians seem to think are necessary

10:36 am

well, that's one subset, i don't think it's all of them

10:37 am

There's certainly a number of constituencies

10:37 am

You summed it all up with the word "white". I have guns but see no need for assault weapons.

10:37 am

Women would be very surprised how their husbands, sons and lovers talk when they are out of earshot of women. Or around women who are not all frilly about such things.

10:37 am

my experience coming from an evangelical background included everything i've mentioned below, but did not include anything about guns.

10:37 am

You summed it all up with the word "white". I have guns but see no need for assault weapons.

10:39 am

My wife's family has a number of Republicans...but the reasons vary

10:39 am

Her uncle in Wisconsin is in the timber industry, so is directly impacted by environmental policy

10:40 am

One of my ex-church family members stood up one day and quoted that man shall not sleep with man. I burst out laughing and wanted to say, "it also says that your married daughter will not sleep with the firefighter but she does."

10:40 am

On her father's side, they're from Cuba, and so the way the US government isolates Cuba, as well as the abortion issue (and for at least one - the gun issue) or contribute

10:42 am

they think republicans are less likely to isolate Cuba?

10:42 am

My mother-in-law and her husband live in a relatively conservative area, he comes from a Mormon family and I think it's more the "lesser of two evils" for them

10:42 am

No, Trump rolled back Obama policies that were opening up to Cuba

10:43 am

The older generation of Cubans who came over following the revolution see it as a black-and-white issue for the most part

10:43 am

are there any DR words?

10:43 am

I will say that most people I talk to about politics tend to vote emotionally rather than based on thought and information...that's not limited to one side or the other

10:43 am

I won't play the "lesser of two evils" game. If I don't believe in either candidate, I will not vote. And I have not voted in a long time.

10:44 am

I can understand why a person would own a gun to hunt for food or for self-protection in a wilderness area, but I do not see why joe citizen needs a handgund, a repeating rifle or a weapon the fires multiple rounds in seconds. No wonder there are so many violent deaths when so many people, in a fit of rage, can pick up a gun and shoot.

10:45 am

well cnan, that's more to do with the fact that the NRA, which started off as a reasonable association that provided training and whatever, has become a force that lobbies on behalf of the gun INDUSTRY, which of course does not want any limits on any type of gun or ammunition.

10:45 am

Nan, have you ever been mugged? Had your house broken into?

10:46 am

My wife's uncle, a former marine, really, honestly believes he will need his handguns for protection against a personal physical attack

10:46 am

of course not -- put neither requires a gun on my part -- pepper spray works and there is no chance that a criminal would turn a gun that I held against me

10:47 am

On the other hand, I've been robbed at gunpoint, and have been beaten up before...but I'm not in favor of guns personally

10:47 am

People often buy weapons for protection when they feel their security has been threatened.

10:48 am

Around 30% of adults in the US own guns, so it's pretty prevalent

10:48 am

It is in the US Constitution that people have the right to bear arms. Until they revoke that, people who want to have guns will have guns.

10:49 am

30% is prevalent?

10:49 am

Again - I think there are better options. Mind you, I have never lived in a particulary violent area.

10:49 am

compared to other countries, molly, yes, 30% is prevalent.

10:50 am

well around 45% of households

10:50 am

I own over 40 guns

10:50 am

The right to bear arms does not mean one must bear arms. Also, when that was written into the constitution, they weren't talking about the weaponry of today.

10:50 am

There are more privately owned firearms in the US than the entire population

10:51 am

and 3% of the US population owns 50% of the guns that are owned overall

10:51 am

Do you think everyone should have a nuclear weapon in their front yard? Those are arms.

10:51 am

They were not talking about anything "of today" when they wrote the Constitution.

10:51 am

120 firearms per 100 Americans, the next highest is the Falkland Islands which is at 62. Yemen is third at 53 per 100.

10:52 am

a nuclear weapon is not a "bearable" arm.

10:52 am

I was just about to say that Knight.

10:53 am

But aside from that, the court system in the US has created some limits on "arms" drawing the line at things like grenade and rocket launchers

10:53 am

Ideally we would live in a world where the only arms "borne" are the ones attached to one's body

10:53 am

and some arms are controlled by the NFA - automatic weapons and suppressors for example

10:53 am

i am a pacifist and would rather be killed than take up arms against a fellow human being.

10:54 am

nan- tell that to the guy mugging you or raping your daughter

10:54 am

Plus there are some additional state and local restrictions depending on the juristiction

10:54 am

and I am not a pacifist

10:55 am

until weaponry suitable for the police or armed forces are removed from the general public we will continue to have tragically violent events -- and the situation is getting worse. Something has to be done.

10:55 am

People do not understand the instinct for self preservation until they are put in circumstances where it is tested. Many who have lived a blessed life have never been in such circumstances.

10:55 am

nan- that is simply not true, not logical, and not supported by any scientific evidence

10:56 am

We know that knight -- I just don't understand how you can reconcile that with being a Christian, when the very basis of Christianity is peace.

10:56 am

So now you are a theologian?

10:56 am

for the first few hundred years after Christ, it was definitely assumed that if you were Christian you had to be a pacifist. i think we should have stuck with that.

10:57 am

hurshy - there is no historical evidence for that statement

10:58 am

People have been going to war in the name of God since there were Gods and people.

10:59 am

yes they have Molly -- a truly deplorable situation

10:59 am

That doesn't mean we have to support it, though

10:59 am

uh, yeah, there is knight.

11:00 am

Not only that but Yaweh sanctioned violence

11:00 am

hurshy - please provide a reference

11:01 am

Jesus told his disciples to have a sword

11:01 am

I don't think God sanctioned violence

11:01 am

I think you are deleting the context, knight

11:01 am

I did not say God, I say Yaweh - Jehovah - the deity of the Old Testament

11:02 am

Yaweh, Jehovah, God -- all names for the same deity

11:03 am

Numbers 31:16-18 is one of many examples

11:05 am

yeah, the OT God definitely is presented as having sanctioned and even ordered violence.

11:05 am

but it's interesting that while Jesus said to have a sword, when Peter USED it, he rebuked him and healed the victim's ear.

11:06 am

true

11:07 am

by the way nobody answered my question: are there any DR words?

11:07 am

I haven't found any

11:07 am

have 8 d's remaining

11:08 am

no DR words

11:08 am

i only need 3 d

11:08 am

well 4 D's remaining now

11:08 am

ok thanks knight

11:08 am

de,di, du

11:08 am

I wanted druid, but only one D

11:08 am

same here

11:09 am

ok he7 is a bit of a linguistic stretch

11:09 am

I feel like I'm in the minority here...I didn't want druid

11:09 am

he7/52 that is

11:10 am

lol mool

11:10 am

tx for the stats hursh

11:11 am

What? Are you suggesting there is something wrong with druids? Do we need to have The Discussion? : D

11:12 am

Oh no, I'm quite fond of Getafix and I did go through a phase of reading King Arthur fiction, but to extend that to "wanting" just seemed a bridge too far

11:13 am

wanting words to be in the grid isn't really related to anything like that tho

11:14 am

it's a desire that is separated pretty completely from the actual meaning of the word

11:14 am

oh hursh

11:14 am

at least that's how i am :D

11:15 am

Well, at least there are no J words today : D

11:15 am

or words that have a second letter as j

11:15 am

nono, the real thankfulness is that there are no GJ words!!!!

11:16 am

we get lots of scottish things but not many norwegian

11:16 am

I admit, I looked that one up...

11:17 am

Leave it to the Enable word nerds to include words that start with gj

11:17 am

wonder if there's any other gj words

11:17 am

phatom: tolerant

11:18 am

that's easily determined by morewords, mool - and the answer is no, just that one and its plural.

11:18 am

A cursory look suggests no, there's just the one and it's plural

11:18 am

Lots of other words, none of them English

11:19 am

sil8 makes me giggle

11:20 am

because it's grammar's worser

11:20 am

There's only 1 word that begins 'tm....'; and it's fan-freaking-tastic...

11:21 am

there's some word passion right there

11:21 am

Again, there are more words that begin with tm

11:21 am

I kind of like miaoued...it has all the vowels, and there's five vowels in a row

11:22 am

sequoia too for all vowels

11:22 am

Oh. Probably should've stated '1 word that I'm currently aware of'...

11:22 am

cooeeing has the five straight vowels, but less interesting IMO

11:22 am

Cyzygy was always a personal favourite for non-vowels

11:23 am

it's not just because we were told that you don't make comparatives with -er on multi-syllable words, it's also that, i mean, it's either si6 or it isn't, right? it means the absence of all noise

11:23 am

oh yeah, zyzzyvas is another fave

11:23 am

Definitely looking that one up right now...

11:23 am

though the etymology is more interesting than the entomology

11:24 am

i agree with you, Hursh.....St. Saint Paul is rolling over in her grave on that one....

11:24 am

maybe it's someone who silents :)

11:24 am

oops....sorry

11:24 am

always good stuff in the PB....

11:25 am

i'd be posting a gif of someone looking skeptical right now if we could post gifs here

11:25 am

if we could post gifs here, not sure we'd see much else ;)

11:25 am

well, going to take a break...50 to go, so seems like a good place to pause

11:26 am

i changed my icon a few days ago.....it appeared yesterday but today it's reverted back to the old one....weird....

11:27 am

i am not enjoying this grid too much....

11:27 am

I see the red lobster

11:27 am

not me....but thanks for letting me know....

11:27 am

for the seafood lover in youuuuu

11:27 am

You can't be si8 just like you can't be nuder or nudest

11:28 am

or pregnanter... ;o)

11:28 am

idk, i mean, if you're 8 months preg you're arguably more preg than someone 3 months along

11:29 am

in one sense

11:29 am

not the way I see it....

11:29 am

If I am six months pregnant and you are three months pregnant, aren't I pregnanter than you? : D

11:30 am

in one sense you obvs just are or you aren't

11:30 am

with that reasoning, if i am si 6 longer than you are, then i can be si 8....

11:30 am

so that's a mixed

11:30 am

People say blacker all the time, yet black is the absence of all color. How can it be more so?

11:31 am

i guess because we use these words when they aren't actually true

11:31 am

well some things that are black seem darker than others...

11:31 am

No, you are not si8, you have just been si6 longer

11:31 am

like we say something is black when it's maybe technically very dark grey and we can't see the diff, or we say things are si6 when they aren't, they are just pretty quiet

11:32 am

so that opens the door for these silly comparatives

11:32 am

People use fake words all the time. Just read Facebook. : D

11:32 am

LOL...

11:34 am

Ns Nailed!

11:35 am

Ls Lampooned!

11:35 am

My question is why was a gj word so astonishing when no one flinches a fjord?

11:36 am

we've seen fjord before but not gj words....

11:36 am

because we've HEARD OF fjords

11:37 am

*Thinks Hurshy goes around her house saying Dishes Done! Dressers Dusted! Eggs Eaten! Fish Fed!

11:37 am

name that proper noun! WWII Riveter

11:37 am

Rosie

11:37 am

ding ding ding!!!

11:37 am

I was sure you were going to do the Plaza Hotel girl first

11:38 am

well i remember doing that one not long ago, so i passed

11:44 am

ok, finished my initial walk through the grid, 18 words left

11:44 am

i did not find the 9, anyone know what that is?

11:44 am

he 9/60

11:45 am

does it start with the "not the same as" 6?

11:46 am

yes

11:46 am

ty nan....

11:47 am

yay thanks got it

11:47 am

but, i was hoping for an 8/9 combo since i also need one more 8

11:47 am

clue for the re 6-7 that follows the gizmo that the fishing line is wound on

11:48 am

i have er8, he8, and the amusing si8

11:48 am

please?

11:49 am

i don't think i have that yet....

11:49 am

hmm, idk cnan, i have a 6 there but no 7

11:49 am

i have a past tense

11:49 am

and to keep trying

11:50 am

and a plural

11:50 am

yeah there's the past tense of the gizmo, then the plural, and then after that i have the one where you are being firm but then you change your mind and re6

11:50 am

*following the plural gizmos

11:50 am

After all the variants of the fishing gizmo is to put the stillettos back on the shoes

11:50 am

ty vic

11:50 am

ooh well didn't have those

11:50 am

he re6 on it.

11:50 am

wait, i don't know if i have "to keep trying"

11:51 am

i think i misdefined that one.

11:51 am

ok

11:51 am

just missing one more R and was hoping that was it lol

11:52 am

one more bottom R that is, i also need one more top one

11:52 am

*!*~*!* a lot of words I've never seen before, but monkeyable with the list

11:52 am

so the fourth 8 besides er8, he8, and si8 is...?

11:52 am

yay nan!

11:53 am

hu

11:53 am

help with er8 or he8 please

11:53 am

oh no that is a y

11:53 am

looking for the he9

11:54 am

a y?

11:54 am

he8 is plural of he7, which bilds on he4.5

11:54 am

peri...extend the he 6/7...

11:54 am

I do not have he6/7

11:54 am

my brother is gay, but i have a he9

11:54 am

hahahahaha

11:55 am

I have an he6/21

11:55 am

yes, that's what the 9 starts with

11:56 am

ok

11:56 am

and so my pun should hopefully help you

11:56 am

there are two he 6/21 words.....builds off the second one....

11:56 am

my BROTHER is gay, but i have a he9...

11:56 am

8's: er, he, si, so

11:56 am

there could be more of those, too....

11:56 am

ah thanks nan will look for the so

11:57 am

you may need to self-isolate to find it

11:57 am

ty hurshy, the pun helped!

11:57 am

LOL hursh

11:58 am

hursh your pun is not working for me :(

11:58 am

thanks nan

11:59 am

what's the opposite of a brother, peri?

11:59 am

he is not gay....he is a he^^^^sexual.....

11:59 am

add a sibling to the he 6 peri

12:00 pm

lobster season opened, pen?

12:00 pm

ah now I get your pun hurshy, thanks all

12:00 pm

been open all summer....

12:01 pm

oh - thought it didn't open til fall

12:01 pm

nope....

12:02 pm

i need re6 right before "make a knot again"

12:02 pm

the season is most active from June to December, but a lot of lobstermen work almost year round....

12:02 pm

any other clues wanted before I start my day?

12:02 pm

ooh pulled a peri

12:02 pm

does the he8 start the same way?

12:02 pm

(don't know why I am worried about that -- between covid and the smoke, we are housebound

12:02 pm

no, he7/8 is a combo meaning... to make someone into a savior-type-person

12:03 pm

hmm thinking

12:03 pm

He ain't heavy, he's my sister

12:03 pm

ri6?

12:03 pm

no -- the he 8 is to glorify an he 4

12:04 pm

weird word....

12:04 pm

if you put an st infront of the ri 6 it would be harsh

12:04 pm

I have no idea

12:04 pm

what about the so8?

12:04 pm

thanks nan!

12:04 pm

emily dickinson lived a life of so8

12:05 pm

peri....person who rescues people .....add a verb ending....

12:05 pm

my clue was for the HE....

12:05 pm

she did indeed ty hursh

12:06 pm

so 8 = self-isolation

12:06 pm

i just realized i don't know WHY she did

12:06 pm

did she have some kind of a disease that prevented her from going out much?

12:06 pm

she must have loved her own company

12:07 pm

ty for he8

12:07 pm

or was extremely shy

12:07 pm

yw....

12:10 pm

emily d. was an epileptic and feared having a seizure in public apparently

12:11 pm

interesting...

12:11 pm

my quick search suggests there was a combo of depression, taking care of her sick mother, and her own sickliness

12:11 pm

I did not know that she was an epileptic

12:12 pm

lol - we obviously used different search engines :D

12:13 pm

i remember playing a game years ago with Google....enter three words and try to get the fewest hits.....had one once with one hit.....couldn't play that now....

12:15 pm

helps to narrow things down if you link the keywords with a +

12:15 pm

that is what i used to do....but now there are so many ads that appear for no good reason....

12:16 pm

on my way -- hagd everyone - stay safe - and if you live in the west, pray for rain :)

12:17 pm

bye, nan....

12:20 pm

tough grid for me and I will spit on anyone who says it is easy peasy :-)

12:20 pm

LOL...me, too, peri....not a fun one for me....

12:20 pm

no argument (under threat of phlegmatic response)

12:21 pm

haha

12:23 pm

33 left here

12:24 pm

82 left

12:24 pm

72 here....very slow going now....

12:24 pm

dent

12:25 pm

i think i need a break....bbl to finish....

12:28 pm

bbl

12:44 pm

*Wants to see Peri spit on someone

1:40 pm

Nice profile pic Molly! *lifelong skins fan here*

1:54 pm

i can understand that people have a fondness for things they grey up with, but surely that is less important than the principle that you don't get to commit genocide on a group of people and then turn around and use a stereotyped image and slightly derogatory name for them as a team mascot...

1:56 pm

(the chog seems rather empty at the moment, so if i go away and people pick up the thread of this conversation and i don't respond, i apologize in advance)

1:56 pm

Oh I do hear ya Hurshy, really I do. The atrocities committed againt the Native Americans was and still is awful. To me its a team.

1:57 pm

but to them, it's offensive.

1:57 pm

Ah, The Discussion

1:58 pm

imagine a German soccer team called the kikes, with a picture of a big hook-nosed Jew on it

1:58 pm

I get it, I really do. I've only ever known them as the Washington Redskins..... I'll get used to their new name eventually I guess.

1:58 pm

well they haven't PICKED a new name yet, right?

1:59 pm

I thought they were Washington Football? No?

1:59 pm

so we'll have to wait to get used to it until we have it, lol

2:00 pm

i think that's just a temporary placeholder until they can decide on a new name

2:00 pm

Lol, maybe then hursh. I know they played under that name the other day, I thought that was what they'd chosen

2:00 pm

maybe the Lobbyists...

2:01 pm

And then we will wonder which group will be offended by that name. The lovers of red tail hawks, if it is The Red Hawks? People in combat if it is The Warriors? People who still are not satisfied if they just become The Washington Skins?

2:02 pm

molly, i think that's a bit of a strawman, to assume that any possible name is bound to offend someone. i've never heard of Oriole lovers protesting the Orioles. i think it is perfectly possible to think of non offensive team names.

2:04 pm

People seem to take offense to just about anything these days. Back when football teams got their names, it was as a sign of honor to the logo chosen. Tough, brave, fighting kind of honor. The name was never meant as a slur.

2:05 pm

you can think you're honoring someone and do it badly, though. if they want to honor native americans, then they should take my suggestion of allowing a local tribe to choose the new team name.

2:06 pm

*Sigh* Yes, I'm sure we should all take your suggestions.

2:08 pm

there's a scene from a movie or TV show that's at the edge of my brain, can't quite place it, where someone throws a party for someone, or something, and emphasizes what they see as the salient aspects of their friend, and the friend turns out to be really hurt, like, "that's how you see me?" - if you make a mistake like that, and you care about people, then you apologize and you try to do better

2:08 pm

Cleveland and Atlanta are both facing the same thing. Apparently Braves and Indians are slurs too.

2:08 pm

Molly, I work at a university that was previously the Redskins and is now the Redhawks. I haven't seen that issue pop up yet. (I wasn't here when the initial change happened, so maybe that conversation happened in the past) The local high school just went through a similar name change in the last two years, and same thing (different words, but same conversation)

2:08 pm

Up until 1933, they were the Boston Braves. In '33 they changed to Boston Redskins, then in '37 they moved to DC and became Washington Redskins.

2:09 pm

the "but there aren't that many of them and can't they just not be so sensitive so that i don't have to be inconvenienced by dealing with issues that don't seem like a big deal to me" just strikes me as pretty lame.

2:10 pm

yeah, not suprising for the 30s. nobody really tried to move away from all this crap until the 60s

2:12 pm

I don't think it's about the word in all of those cases, I think it's about making a mascot of people, particularly people who experienced genocide at the hands of members of the group that is doing the naming

2:12 pm

Who knows what they will finally decide on, even they don't know yet.

2:12 pm

yes, i was just typing that very point treerad, and now i don't have to, lol

2:13 pm

hi all. need clue and stats for the 8s and the 9 please. ty.

2:13 pm

ooh goody i will polish off my pun clue again

2:13 pm

my BROther is gay, but i have a he9

2:14 pm

clever clue hursh!

2:14 pm

2:14 pm

mkg do you have he6 that means "different"

2:15 pm

one word mkg

2:15 pm

no it does not use the z

2:15 pm

si8 can you really be more free of noise than the absence of all noise? enable thinks you can, apparently.

2:15 pm

so8 what hermits live in

2:16 pm

i got it. ty.

2:16 pm

ty. got the so and the he words. ty

2:16 pm

he7/8 and er7/8 combos do use the z tho. to make someone into a savior figure, and to make sexy, respectively.

2:16 pm

any other clues for 8s welcome as well. ty.

2:17 pm

i just did them all :D

2:17 pm

all the 8s? there are 4. must scroll back. ty

2:18 pm

no there are all right there... si, so, then he and er at 2:16

2:20 pm

ok got it now. ty

2:20 pm

Thx

6:49 pm

ty wht

6:49 pm

6:50 pm

hu7 I thought the def would be the plural of hu*** gurdys

I haven’t found an 8 but haven’t really looked

6:50 pm

ty lynx

6:50 pm

I have one 8

LOL, of course it’s Scot

6:52 pm

I have an er8 and an he8. Both use the high point tile.

6:52 pm

got the er! ty

6:53 pm

there's a quieter s8 too

Yes, gracias

6:53 pm

I had that one.

6:53 pm

there is an si 8 that i refuse to think is grammatically correct.....

Oh, thx lyn. I didn

6:54 pm

and an so 8....

Didn’t even have the 6, but I thought I saw it earlier

Wonder why you can’t replace the z with the s in the er7

6:55 pm

60!

6:55 pm

i wondered that, too....

Is the he8 frm the top h because I can only find 1 of those

6:55 pm

I'm listing. got stuff to do.

6:56 pm

i listed early....

Still 82 here

6:56 pm

a lovely so8 although being in lockdown maybe not so much

6:56 pm

carla....from the bottom H....

I have hi4 from top and that’s it

6:57 pm

Thanks, was thinking that never works, but maybe I’m thinking of reich

6:59 pm

probably....

Ah, got the so8, thx, lyn

7:12 pm

anything else b4 I go ?

7:12 pm

are the first two OU words words I should know?

I still don’t have that he8 with high point tile but have tried everything

7:14 pm

7:14 pm

extend the he4

7:14 pm

the first ou doesn't have a T but is here quite often

7:14 pm

wrong one pen

7:14 pm

he 8 - starts with a champion

7:14 pm

Good morning all

7:14 pm

sorry.....i was talking about the he 9....

7:14 pm

Hokie, Superman or Batman could find it.

7:15 pm

Both strange words in my opinion.

7:15 pm

he9 doesn't use the z - ends with abbrev of your female sibling

7:15 pm

morning Liz

Thx, all. Was trying all kinds of things starting with that, but forgot to try that as a plural.

7:15 pm

The 9 does not use the high point tile. It is your straight sibling.

7:16 pm

the he 7/8 do...

7:16 pm

Morning Lyn - how are you coping in lockdown?

7:17 pm

truthfully not well - really another 6 weeks b4 it gets better for me - quite getting me down.

7:18 pm

done!

7:18 pm

Very sorry to hear that. I can only imagine how tough it is - so glad that I live up here.

7:18 pm

Congrats Harry - and if I don't see you, Shana Tova

7:18 pm

ty liz :)

7:18 pm

congrats, harry....

7:19 pm

I am quite jealous - not into travelling however a trip to Queensland would be lovely. My SIL is near Noosa and has room - if only!!

7:19 pm

ty :)

7:19 pm

congrats Harry

7:19 pm

My stepson has a big birthday coming up in October - really sad we can't get down to Melbourne for it.

7:20 pm

Maybe they will defer the celebration?

7:20 pm

hagn all

Good job Harry, down to 60 here.

7:21 pm

bye Harry

Sorry, lyn :(

7:21 pm

They're hoping to do that - bit like my nephew's wedding in the UK has been deferred (like many others) but I doubt we'll be able to get to the UK next year for that either.

7:21 pm

It's a tough time for many people, all over.

7:22 pm

The UK seems to be getting out of control again

7:22 pm

Certainly does. Like much of Europe.

7:22 pm

Yay for tough Gladys

7:23 pm

Hi everyone!

7:23 pm

Sadly I think tough measures are very necessary.

7:23 pm

Hi Jen

Hi Jen

7:23 pm

and actually for Dan too - at least he has pulled the numbers down relatively fast. Sad about all the people we have lost in the interim though

7:24 pm

re 6/7 pls? The last pair

7:24 pm

Hi Jen

7:24 pm

And Anastacia too

7:24 pm

re6/7 do this during a bathroom renovation (walls)

I don’t haev any re6/7 pairs

7:25 pm

thanks :)

Oh, I had the 6 but didn’t get the 7 :D

7:25 pm

re 6/7 - footwear repair

7:25 pm

a set you do to shoes when they wear down as well Hokie

7:26 pm

9 left - back later to finish. Time to make some bread.

7:26 pm

or whatLiz said

7:26 pm

Bye Liz - and bye everyone else

I was very confused thinking there’s not a e next to the s. Hehe

Wrong shoe part!

7:35 pm

i am done....

Well done

Down to 42. And seemingly stuck. Guess I will list.

Ooh, 40

7:38 pm

ty...

7:40 pm

Fireworks finally. Does anyone need any clues before I go?

7:40 pm

congrats...

7:40 pm

i am also heading out....goodnight all....

7:46 pm

Good night and happy babbling to all.

9:11 pm

well, down to 2

38, just went to list

what's left, moo?

9:36 pm

If I can help, let me know

9:36 pm

An in the last column and a T in the middle column

9:36 pm

one is a 6 and one is a 7

from bottom i? I am missing one there.

9:38 pm

probably the io6

yeah, it was. were you saying an a in the last column? something is missing in your post :D

9:39 pm

S in the last column

9:39 pm

sorry on with Apple Support :)

ah, makes more sense if I had all the a's

I need 6 S's there and 7 T's from middle. will get busy on those!

9:40 pm

yeah, they're big tiles

9:41 pm

and it's not turdies...in case you were wondering

I may already know that ;)

do you have an so7?

that is my last one

9:42 pm

nope, that'd be in

not seeing it

last s, not last word

I know the 3rd letter too!

9:43 pm

got it, thx

9:43 pm

just need to find a t6 now

should I know this so7?

9:44 pm

no, probably not

9:44 pm

no definition ;)

how did you find it so easy?

9:45 pm

well it helps me a lot when I know for certain the second letter and the length

yeah, usually helps me to know the 3rd letter and point total but maybe I'm just too tired

9:46 pm

but it apparently is a metal sole part for a suit of armor

9:46 pm

or rather the whole foot

9:47 pm

well sounds like a diminutive to a foot part that I may or may not have inadvertently shared

I think my main problem is I was trying to get a 6 when I know it is a 7. RME

9:49 pm

yes, basic numerical skills can be of assistance in this game at times

argh

did you find your T?

9:49 pm

need more help on it?

9:50 pm

no, I am currently trying out combos

nah, I just looked it up, but thanks.

9:50 pm

next time you see a suit of armor you'll be able to impress your friends

so true

9:51 pm

you can also point out the greaves, and the gorget...that's sure to impress

you aren't missing a commode are you? because I just struggled somewhat with that. RME again.

9:52 pm

no, I crapped all over that one

9:52 pm

and have tried it at least 7 more times just in case

9:52 pm

along with the worker

9:52 pm

and the work

9:52 pm

and the camper

9:53 pm

and the tipping over, and pubescent one

well, I will let you know, I just have 2 t's left

9:53 pm

terrific

te6, do you want the points

9:54 pm

not yet

9:55 pm

okay, will take the points...really very done with this grid

ok, that's not really helping me find it. and I also know the 3rd letter here.

9:56 pm

nm, got it

9:56 pm

strange word

finally got it

9:57 pm

when you said you knew the third letter I suspected what it was

after reading the def., I know we've had it before. why didn't I remember it?

9:57 pm

I'd tried a bunch of words that begin with that 4 earlier

9:57 pm

need help with any others?

glad I could help LOL

9:57 pm

or you done now?

uh, was working on my last D earlier di 6/21

9:58 pm

oh yeah, that's an odd one

9:58 pm

maybe if you didn't like your sibling you'd say this in a fit of anger

9:58 pm

though it means something else :)

thanks, I'm sure I've stumbled over that one before.

9:59 pm

it apparently means double dagger in printing

sure I will find the rest with the list, thx!

9:59 pm

okay, I'm off...have a great night!

10:00 pm

same to you!

11:07 pm
