anyone have the 8 yet?
qu 8...nbt/nbs
ah, sounds kind of Spanish. (and it's a pl of a 7)
don't know any spanish qu I know is a quesadilal
its a bet on the races - pick the first 2 places
have absolutely no idea - not a race goer
nor a gambler
many thanks dizgrannie!
perhaps a googler, though.... ;)
looks like there are alt spellings, one with a double letter, and one without - the without applies here.
hit the wall -- good night everyone :)
FWs
Congrats!!
TY
i am seriously not understanding the clue for the qu8 - any help pls?
nm found it

morning all!
Hey, dan.
A Spanish horse racing term, leave it to Enable. : D
I google race track betting and got quinella. But it's not in the grid. Help, pls
Indeed! :-)
Single consonant
One L
Cheers!

Bottoms up.
Greetings, all.
Good morning, Judi.
I will be really glad when November 3rd has come and gone. I'm tired of the build up. And since I have no vested interest in either candidate, it is kind of meaningless to me.
Not voting MollyL?
But you do have a vested interest. You are an American.
I hear ya, Molls. 24/7/365 news coverage is just too much. The speculation, opinion and overall misinformation is tedious. I have to tune it out every few days or so. A news fast, as it were.
But we all have a vested interest - a vote.
When I say no vested interest, perhaps not the correct term, I mean I don't think either candidate is a good one.
Not voting is your right as well.
I am no longer registered to vote. I'm tired of contests with two awful candidates. And I don't believe in voting for "the lesser of two evils".
That is a fair statement. Probably the same sentiment over half of citizens have. It will be a shit show, for susre.
not voting is the same as voting for the greater evil. neutrality helps the oppressor
Thank you dn2bit
People are actually saying that they are voting for Biden because they think he will die while in office, making Kamala Harris the first woman president.
* puts breaks on more political discussion *
Nice fall temperatures we're having lately. *Whistles*
I'm hoping for some rain from Beta.
lol. Had a nice glass of Octoberfest beer last night. Ahh. It was right there next to the pumpkin ale. We tried the pumpkin ale. Tasted like pumpkin pie in a glass.,
Beta? Have we gone all the way through the alphabet already?
Pumpkin flavored beer makes me gag a little.
Yes. Beta was the storm that has Houston under water.
Saw a sign outside a restaurant last year "Pumpkin Pizza" followed by "just kidding"
Oh my, I hope Champ is okay. She's down that way I think.
hahaha. howdy, y'all.
neap
Yeah, the "pumpkin flavored everything" this time of year is kind of over the top.
Morning, Carla.
Alas, tis the season for all things pumpkin. Coffee, bagels, pasta... why not pizza?
Roasted butternut squash is good on a pizza.
I had a veggie pizza with squash on it last night. Can't say I'm a fan.
Did it have red sauce?
There are even pumpkin flavored Cheerios now. Is nothing sacred, I ask?
Yes. Was zucchini squash. The most disposable squash on the planet.
pumpkin toilet paper
I would rather have the squash flowers than the squash. Then again, if I eat it, it will make me gourdgeous.
I'm not a fan of red sauce on my pizza. Prefer just olive oil and garlic or pesto. That is what I put on the butternut squash pizza.
I've been getting oui yogurt and I noticed they have a pumpkin caramel flavor. I almost got it but then thought better of it.
LOL, Jeanius. Pumpkin scented face masks!
I'm a Oui fan too, Carla. But I stick with either strawberry or black cherry.
Carla, have you every made yogurt in your instant pot?
Off to do some work. Maybe bbl.
no, I read about it and decided that's just too much work
That is my thought too. And I don't eat it that much anyway.
doesn't it take like 24 hours, or am I thinking of my bread machine?
I am not a yogurt fan, but my son is. I also read about making it and decided it was too much work.
Yes, it take a long time.
cant find any q words. any clues welcome with stats. ty
qu4.7
There are clues for a q word in the chat. Read back.
I'm struggling to get halfway on the P. must be some weirds.
Nope. They are all normal P's
wow, stuck on 9/20
just started coffee
cant even find that qu 4 7. darn.
got the qu 4 7. ty. but no others. darn.
ty for clue
how about a clue for the i word middle of the grid i?
ty
At 7:22 there was talk of a qu in the chat. The word was actually typed in the chat.
ty bea
got it.
phantom alright
Hi, All
well, 49 left. managed to close out 5 tiles, came close on a few others, nowhere near halfway on some.
hi, aussie
I've Pummeled the P's first.
wow, I'm not seeing the p's at all, oh, just saw some small horses
Carla, have you ever put a quilt binding on that was one color fabric on front and one color on the back?
Minus the 3rd vowel for the one before it and then singular
the binding itself was different colors? no, that sounds complicated.
I know...
but you hand sew yours on, right?
Yes, I hand sew it.
I don't know why I think that would make it less complicated ;)
The fabric for the front is cut at one width and the fabric for the back is cut at a smaller width. Then they are sewn together then attached to the quilt
that seems like what I was thinking but the quilting math involved...
any ph words?
No
no
thx
have found 15 at least
pa's, pe's, po's
anyone want to guess my missing L?
le5.10
yep, looking now
5 x LA, 6 x LE
I'm off for the day. Lots to get done, I hope.
Bye Busy Bea
still need clue for the i word that is middle of grid please. stats and clue. ty
IIt is a 4 letter word that is in grids all the time
ty molly. what is the first two? ty. in?
i have several i words from other i. so not getting it.
is4
ty
isir
oops sorry
luckily that wasnt it. but just got it. ty.
lasier is not more lazy? not in dict.
you really don't spell that well mkg lazier
ruru spelling was my most challenging subject. i was a math science person.
ah.. i see
but i love this game. weird eh? i hate cross word puzzles though.
this is a fun game for sure most days
yup
off for my swim.
I was surprised lasier didn't take either. I didn't think british use a z.
In some words they do, in others they don't. That is what confuses me. Same with the ou thing. Over there it's flavour but not actour.
I seem to be stuck with 40 left
34 after reading the chat
15 and getting tired of this grid
same
I mean, the getting tired of it part
can I have the stat for the right N? P&TY
ne4
wow, could not see that, thx
but hey, 5th col gray!
it was lit up for me
I just couldn't see any sign of it
these pun threads are a gas
sometimes you can only see it in a window in the chat
but you have to be open to it
Ha ha...gas...open a window...
*Waits for the dog farts comments*
help with the co7 that isn't those who make up words?
military leaders with vegetable rankings :D
somehow I got that, thx :D
:D you had an ear out for it
I thought it was a very clever clue
25 left
i like obscure clues like Haz.. not direct answers unless necessary
I definitely like those better than just spelling it out
most of the time i'm too obscure though
I like giving pop culture clues which is also obscure here sometimes ;)
yeah.. for certain players for sure
like I would say this co7 is like multiple lead singers of Soundgarden
that clue would send me screaming to google
hokie carla - i am here for all your pop culture clues! (especially as they relate to seattle bands! :-) )
alright!
and there's the italian goodbye I never see
i don't even know who soundgarden is
a band. got big in the 90s. lead singer just killed himself a few years ago.
alright, I've had enough - 18 left. 4 4's, 7 5's, and 7 6's. going to the list.
qu 7/40 please?
it's basically in the chat this morning
7:22ish
re 6/27, pls
re + the 4 that starts with the high point tile
5 stubborn words left with the list.
whew, had to look up a couple. one scottish, one no def. what a surprise.
you're done early today, i just got here!
Os Obliterated!
probably could've finished sooner if you were here!
Hs Hacked!
Rs Ravaged!
Fs Flattened!
here's a tough one, if anyone is here...
name that proper noun! Caroline Ingalls' maiden name
oh, that is tough. I watched that show religiously too. I'm sure I'll know it when I see it.
i don't think it was necessarily mentioned in the show. more recently, there have been more books written about her childhood and the recent editions of the original books, of Laura's, show the family tree, that's where i first learned it
Ts Toppled!
ok, finished first pass and have 90% of the words, but, what is the 8?
the 8 is a q
aha, and so is the NTPN :D
ok, then that is pretty obscure. :D I read some of the books when I was a kid, but don't remember anything.
well, again, it's only like, if you look at the back matter, and not of the older editions, that you find it
It was Quiner
if you need help with the 8, the chat will provide
is it weird?
ding ding ding, hurshy's the winner! haha
it was an unknown word to me plus an alt spelling of the unknown word
you mean a 7 and an 8?
yes, the 8 is a pl
good morning everyone :)
no, the main spelling is not in the grid
morning, nan
and for 7s, i now have co7, pa7, pe7, and qu7, what are the other two?
I can see how I was confusing. the 7 was an alt sp of a word I've never heard of
another co7 (think soundgarden)
ar7 (think old lace)
that's a band, right...?
oh man, how did i miss that one
yes
ok i'm more familiar with prof. Co6 West than soundgarden
ok, I have no idea who that is :D
8 left now
I believe ru clued it for me as "military leaders with veggie rankings"
you have no idea who Co6 West is??? wow. look him up, he's pretty awesome.
are you looking for the co 6-7?
no, cnan, we're debating which is the better clue for them, lol
:D
oh - I was going to say it was an amaizing degree granting vegetable
what other Q word do you think i might have missed, hokie
there's a 6/30
ok that's the one then
thanks, got it
thought so
others to guess: a P, and L, an S, a top A and a top i
three of those are 6s
there is a pa5 that is a british spelling that took me forever
i think i have that...
Carla, I had no idea who co West was either.
is that the first pa word you're referring to, hokie?
yes
and thanks, molly, I don't feel so uninformed now. but I never read the news.
the L has to be a 4 or 5 - my last L was le5/10
i have an le5/10
ok it was an la4
a nordic man's name
S's are pretty regular - do you have the one that goes on pageant dresses?
aha no i didn't!
you had the R but not the S? haha
well the r was more of a monkeying thing
do you have ae6?
and ic6?
i didn't! now i do
ok that leaves a P5
there is a pe5/12 that gave me trouble
i have one pe5/12
and a similar pa5/12
ok have the similar one also
watch it be some plural i forgot to put or something
then the pa similar but ends in a different letter
aha that's it! thanks
you are the big winner of GWHIM!
np, love playing guess my missing word
or GWHIM
yeah it's fun (for some of us)
:D
i have a small girl here. she is so darling.
I have an adorable guy who's turning 4 next week. he's currently barking at people outside though.
(the one in my picture)
oh rilla will be 4 next week also! what a coincidence
that's funny!
and that day or the day after will mark 4 years since she was kitnapped by a giant bird
she was born and kitnapped in very quick succession, poor wee girlie
when Winston was a puppy, our neighbors down the street had a puppy just a few days older. one day I was taking him out and saw that puppy out with a teenager, and there was a hawk circling over them. I told him to watch out and I think he thought I was crazy.
those big mean birds are so bad
if they would get rid of squirrels here I wouldn't complain
what's funny is, since she was obviously outside, it's likely that her mom was feral, and so if she hadn't been kitnapped, she'd probably be feral too, instead of being the sweetest darlingest little angel baby the world has ever seen
good point
not that there's anything wrong with being feral. it's just funny.
Unless you're a songbird, or a ground nesting creature. In which case, feral cats have been devastating.
heap
well, yes, this is true. that's part of why TNR is so important, to control the populations.
Absolutely!
I knew Hurshy wasn't talking about a human girl. For a minute I was going to ask who she was babysitting. Then I said to myself, nah. She's talking about her cat.
yeah, feral cats are quite the problem in some areas
Doesn't Bea run a little hotel for them? : D
apparently one of my mom's siblings had like 37 cats when they were growing up and now she & the rest hate cats and any pet for that matter.
re 6/27, pls
did you not see my earlier clue, bichon, or didn't get it?
re + medicine woman
wow, nan pulls out a pop culture ref?
sorry, stepped away
no worries, just wondering if I needed to work on that clue
medicine woman?
re + 4 that starts with high point tile
just need something from more than 10 years ago, carla --- there hasn't been much worth watching for the last decade
ty, thought it was a generic term
there's been GREAT stuff to watch if you know where to look - more streaming than on the old networks
there was an old TV show called "Dr. ****n, Medicine Woman"
most of the shows that appeal to me seem to be on USA netflix which is not the same as what we get in Canada
Yes, remember that being on
I discovered canadian netflix was different when we were there last year.
Oh now I'm curious. What shows appeal to you that you don't get with Canadian Netflix?
I just found out that some of the network shows, like This Is Us, are shown on a delayed basis in Canada.
yes, like we get delayed shows from England
I really don't care for blood & gore, car chases themes and a lot of foul language (although I do like Bosch or shows where 80% of the so called story takes placein a bed. Whatever happened to the ones like West Wing and The Newsroom?
I don't watch any British shows so I didn't know that.
I love The West Wing and The Newsroom. I rewatch both on a regular basis.
yes - I love the British shows too.
I love some British shows
One of my favourites is Vera (the British Columbo)
I wish Aaron Sorkin would come back to television and stop writing for the stage.
I also like British, Canadian and NZ/AU shows. I've even watch Swedish, Danish and French - all good as well as the Italian My Brilliant Friend.
I have never watched a NZ/AU show that held my attention for more than 5 minutes. There is something about the film quality that is off.
I don't know of any
really? i love a lot of NZ/AU stuff.
Brokenwood is good, and 800 Words (that one is odd, because i love every character except the main guy), and Rake was AMAZING
I try to watch every thing by one specific NZ director/writer.
Janet King, too
well I love everything I've ever seen by Taika Waititi, but I haven't seen anything by him not Avengers or Star Wars related
I watched a British series Rosemary and Thyme because I like gardening. Now when I want to find a new series on Netflix I search R & T and they don't have it but the results might give me something similiar. I found Endeavor on my own.
I forgot all about Rosemary & Thyme - I watched that years ago.
had you watched Inspector Morse?
But I also read!
Did you watch Frost as well?
and Morse?
That's good, and, Luther
I also watched like 22 seasons of Midsomer Murders. There is the latest season I haven't seen but couldn't find it free.
Yes Inspector Morse
I've watched all 22 seasons of Midsomer Murders twice - winters get long and dark.
there are soooo many good detective shows from britain
has anyone watched the one with Gillian Anderson from X-Files? I started it but only saw one episode. wondering if I should go finish.
That is what I think. I've watched Wallander (sp) in both Danish and English versions.
one of my faves is Scott & Bailey. the show was created by a woman who thought, "what if we flip the gender balance of ordinary police shows and make this one MOSTLY women?" and it's really good, and the way they question suspects is so brilliant. they talk about having different levels of training in how to do it, and i'm like, yes, yes, this is how it should be done!! none of this cowboy style crap that american police do.
yes, hokie, that one was good
we just got prime tv (comes with amazon prime) and are finding some decent shows there
I wonder if your Prime offerings are different from ours
clg, have you seen that there is a Young Wallander on netflix now? i just watched it and it was good despite the lack of K Branagh
Yes on Young W - waiting for season 2. How many years will I have to wait. What is the one with the young blonde policewomen that later because a DCI?
no idea, carla -- probably just a bunch of shows we never got elsewhere
tennison, you mean, clg?
But cybernan I am reading a book by a Canadian astronaut. Yes on Tennison.
6 left I should concentrate.
here's another good one, only it's american, on netflix - The Good Cop. one of the best shows i've ever seen. it was criminal that it didn't get renewed for a second season.
Yes that was good and another criminal renewal was Battle Creek.
hi all. right column gray
I have found very little on Netlfix that hold my interest for long. watch a lot of documentaries
I did like The Stranger
I loved Dead to Me, I think that's Netflix
I will check that one out
Also GLOW is incredibly awesome
that one too
I also read a lot, big surprise! and have kindle unlimited
slow going here 42 left
need to exercise but don't feel like it ergo babbling
GLOW is set in the 80s and is a fictionalized version of the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling show that was real then. So maybe not for everyone, but the acting is really good.
hmm maybe not for me
altho as a kid my sister and I would watch wrestling on T?V with our grandfather
I got 3 mos. free kindle unlimited and never canceled. that's how they get you, like a drug dealer. but I have found some authors and series and actually probably got my money's worth.
The Kaminsky Affair was really funny with Mike Douglas
the acting, costumes, and makeup is just really good on GLOW
peri, have you read Sorry I Missed You on kindle unlimited? I just read it on Sun. and loved it.
help with pe7 or pa7 please
pe7 is flowers or flowering bushes
they are very pretty flowers, ty
pa7 is also pl., looks like an alt sp (minus a cons in the middle) of the things you put over the back wheel of a bike to carry stuff
Fireworks and now I have to go out and divide and replant pe7. I good fall project.
pa 6-7 baskets hanging on each side of the mule
I don't know those words but will look
go forth and propagate, clg
*!*~*!* breakfast tie for me -- hagd everyone and stay safe.
when I had a bike I never put anythingover the back wheel
*time (keys getting sticky)
Good morning, babblers.
peri, they're more for people riding bikes or mules as nan said, over great distances
morning, ori
I have no idea
hi ori
go to nashbar, click on accessories, then packs & bags, then you'll see a p word, but you have to remove a letter for the alt sp here
ok
or I could just go to the list :)
bbl
Or Peri, pa + horse lead spelled backwards
that's very clever, Molly....i only see that word as the french word for basket...
hi 6/21, second one, pls
anagram of the other
i have two hi 6 words that are almost the same....use the same letters.....last two letters reversed....
it's a red bar day here... :o(
ty carla
uin
44 to go. slow going
and still missing the lone N
gas
wow. thanks.
not the first time I've missed that word.
40. gonna get more coffee.
The one I continually miss is Italian goodbye. In either form.
ironically that was the first word I saw today...normally miss it too
I consistently miss as4/4. Just doesn't register with me most doays.
yeah, I didn't have it :)
Any other clues for the two hi 6? Not monkeying anything.
hi 6....sounds like not him + most of "to offer something for sale"....the other hi 6 is the same letters....reverse the last two....
Thanks pen, that did it.
yw...
off to my zoom class....bbl....
Fw!!!
Ooo, Pen's doing Zoom-ba
Peonies
Pane
Pain
evening all
back from Zoom-ba, as Molly put it...

stats for the 8, please and thanks?
nm
we've spent who knows how much money, and had who knows how many scientists involved, making tests for COVID-19, which aren't even all that accurate and some of which are very unpleasant. and then dogs come along, and dogs are all, well i can just smell it. https://tinyurl.com/yxmb34ez
funny how we think we're such a superior species...
I am done....heading out....bye all....
thanks for that link, hurshy. dogs have incredible 'sniffers' :) (well, some dogs - my dog has selective sniffing powers)
re 6/7 pls?
re six twenty seven please?
nm good night
