there's pills for that hokie :D

9:25 am

hi all.any clues for the 9 or 8s? ty

9:28 am

Start with ca5/12, the Erie or Panama and you will get many words

9:33 am

ty!

ok, changed my icon and refreshed about 50 times.

9:34 am

got the 9!

oh, there it is. closed the browser and came back in.

9:37 am

I see the new Halloween icon Carla

9:40 am

missing all the A words for the 4rh row A..........must be ad words or and words.........but not seeing them

OMG at the U's

that is just a shirt I made. well, I didn't sew the shirt, just cut the heat transfer vinyl and applied it to a store bought shirt.

9:45 am

Do you have a cricket, Carla?

9:45 am

just finished the c's holy cow

no, silhouette cameo

9:46 am

9:47 am

yeah bea!

9:47 am

send stats please. and clue too if you can

wow, coming up blank on the bottom a

9:48 am

Google says it's smell has been compared to raw sewage and rotten onions. Why do the Asians like such things. Like kimchee.

9:48 am

yeah, not sure how you'd eat something that smells like that

9:49 am

9:49 am

I've seen them used in baskets on Chopped.

GM all

9:50 am

Hey, monkey

ugh, how did the judges react to that bea, when they saw them in the baskets?

9:50 am

there is a you tube video of americans being given the chance to try jewish foods and they are disgusted by it.....like shaav and gefilta fish........and even herring made the way jews eat it can be horrible to those who never tasted it before.

9:51 am

and we eat smaltz and gribinez too!

Does my profile pic look like French Toast or does it look like a scary Halloween face

9:51 am

I'm sure that wasn't the worst thing they had to eat, Carla.

9:51 am

really schmaltz mit gribinez

scary french toast

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAa

9:52 am

Without enlarging it, it looks like a lovely stack of french toast

ooh, that is scary. I clicked your profile to see

9:52 am

heh - how about stuffed derma, mkg? delish!

9:52 am

when you click on the french toast you get the scarey holloween face.

I tried to change it & it says it was successfully changed

so it did take, probably just need to refresh my browser again

I still can't see it

9:52 am

stuffed derma is kishka right? it is yummy

9:53 am

Oooh! Neon face is spooky!

9:53 am

10:15 am

i loved that movie....hello alll.....

10:15 am

<-----has never seen it

10:15 am

hey pen!

10:17 am

10:17 am

yes, but makes it hard to find words from those bottom rows!

10:18 am

hah!

10:21 am

10:40 am

good morning all :)

10:40 am

hi nan....

10:40 am

just tried the last part of my favourite scotch -- and it was accepted!

10:42 am

nice.....

10:43 am

That is good scotch. I am not much of a scotch drinker but I can deal with that brand. That and Lagavulin. Both are too pricey for me.

10:47 am

runny egg just shot out all over me

10:49 am

Lagavulin is too peaty for me.

10:49 am

they're all too gluteny for me ;)

10:50 am

just read the chat -- sad about Sean Connery -- one of my favourite actors.

10:51 am

i am down to 100....going to get some lunch.....bbl to finish....

10:53 am

disreal - you know, like unreal

10:56 am

11:01 am

oh - found the one you mean

11:01 am

ok, looks like it relates to pathology

11:02 am

woohoo, a chunky grid on a sunny day

11:02 am

now wondering what sickness you mean

11:03 am

it's not good, hurshy. ru declared it one of the hardest ones in recent times.

11:03 am

the one mosquitos give you in africa

11:03 am

also I'm just going to start calling you hershey because my spellcheck changes it every time and then I have to backtrack and trick it

11:03 am

ah, did not have

11:03 am

but i don't like hershey

11:04 am

i do not use spellcheck, for i know how to spell and it is just irksome

11:04 am

r

11:05 am

is it just me, or is this a really hard grid?

11:05 am

it is for sure. I have it turned off on my iPad for when I play this on there but haven't ever looked into turning it off on my laptop

11:05 am

not just you!

11:06 am

90 left here

11:06 am

good..making sure I didn't have a mild stroke or something during the night!

11:06 am

oh my, there are TWO of 45's wives in the grid

11:06 am

you may have missed where I just said, but ru declared it really difficult, so that's when we know it is.

11:07 am

if that top C were a V we'd have all three...

11:07 am

down to 100 and listing -- don't have all day for this

11:07 am

11:53 am

12:32 pm

several medical/anatomical words in the grid today

12:32 pm

What a scary grid today--so many vowels. And yet, you cannot make aerial, or amnesia, or diurnal. I'm thinking this grid was supposed to be for Hawaiian.

12:33 pm

50 left and no more than 4 from any given tile

12:33 pm

80 left and no more than 7 for any given tile ;)

12:36 pm

well now no more than 6 on any given tile

12:40 pm

There's an le/5 which is a useful word for Babblers--it means a base word from which inflected forms can be made.

12:41 pm

hmmm

12:41 pm

well, 60 left...will return later possibly

12:43 pm

I made a ca7 apple pecan pie today. Other than that, we don't eat those on Halloween.

12:44 pm

Ooh, caramel pecan pie would make me break my diet pledge, for sure.

12:44 pm

sounds yummy MOlly

12:44 pm

I remember ca/7's being called the dentist's friends when I was a kid, for pulling out fillings...

12:45 pm

It's really good Jan. I usually make it for Thanksgiving, but we are doing an alternate Thanksgiving this year.

12:46 pm

So, do you replace the corn syrup with a homemade caramel sauce instead?

12:46 pm

No, it's an apple pie with ca7 sauce and pecans in it.

12:46 pm

That sounds even better--less cloying.

12:47 pm

When we lived in New Orleans we had an ancient pecan tree in our backyard that gave us more than a hundred pounds of pecans every year--we used to supply the whole neighborhood!

12:51 pm

help with re8 pls

12:52 pm

Ooo, I would love a pecan tree that plentiful.

12:52 pm

When we visited my grandmother in Monroe in the summer, we bagged and sold pecans :-(

12:52 pm

re8 a musician or actors gets these when their show or song is played

12:53 pm

it means leftover

12:53 pm

It was a wonderful specimen of a tree. Sadly, it and our old house were completely destroyed by Katrina, though long after we lived there.

12:53 pm

:-)......not a frown!!

12:53 pm

ty dan

12:56 pm

could use a clue for the di7 or the du7

12:57 pm

All I can think of is royalties

12:57 pm

Think of actors in a sitcom that gets replayed a lot...

12:57 pm

are there any re8 feelings in you from your childhood experiences?

12:58 pm

re7 is left behind by evaporation, make it an adjective

12:58 pm

(the re7 is not in the grid)

12:58 pm

Slime in the ice machine!

12:59 pm

That is an image that will be hard to get out of my head, ChampFit...:-0

12:59 pm

i only have a du6 which is a very smelly fruit, no 7 yet, nor di7

1:00 pm

and of course the other du6 that is more boring

1:00 pm

We had a reporter in here that used to report on the most egregious restaurant violations. He was famous for that phrase. Marvin Zindler, eyewitness news!

1:01 pm

oHO

1:01 pm

dan, you might find yourself on the horns of a di7

1:02 pm

oh duh ty hursh

1:02 pm

Thanks hurshy--I can't believe I missed that one, especially having found the linguistics word I mentioned earlier.

1:02 pm

I had the 5-letter ending already...

1:03 pm

i don't know the 5 as a linguistics word, i know it as a thing like a theorem that you use in like geometry proofs

1:04 pm

du7 is brain covering + dudes

1:04 pm

ty

1:05 pm

1:21 pm

5:21 pm

They both connect to the same vowel. One ends in not walk. The other ends in the first three of a pep thing that happens before a football game.

5:22 pm

ty both

5:34 pm

Ma8/45?

5:35 pm

adj form of the ma6 before it

5:36 pm

Nm.....found it :-)

5:36 pm

Are there 2 ma8s?

5:36 pm

yes. I clued the 2nd one

5:36 pm

Yes....ma8/50

5:37 pm

53 left and slow going even with list

80 left here. will probably not try too hard.

5:42 pm

Ditto re slow going.....

is 80 too early to list?

5:47 pm

Noooo

5:57 pm

I am finally down to the last word, the first la which is la 5. Is this a word I should know. Cant find it. Help please

5:57 pm

double vowel

5:58 pm

I just found it. ty finally fireworks, what a slog this was

5:58 pm

just started

5:59 pm

good luck to you. so many words i have never heard of. not a pleasant grid to be sure.

I'm thinking about just quitting

6:00 pm

just got halfway

6:00 pm

but the Us are killing me

6:02 pm

ah just missing the right hand U now

6:02 pm

phew nbt

6:02 pm

hello again :)

6:03 pm

hi nan

6:03 pm

hearing very discouraging words about this grid

ru said it was difficult

I'm out. going to look for some good scary movies

see y'all tomorrow

6:15 pm

95 to go. this is not looking good

6:15 pm

♪♫Where there are heard, some discouraging words...and the grid is Halloween shroudy all day♪♫

6:16 pm

COVID totally sucks. It is sad to drive around on Halloween night and see no trick or treaters out.

6:17 pm

I know....not even the three little girls next door :-(

6:19 pm

This thing has really ruined the whole year. Bah freaking humbug.

6:25 pm

you need to find an outlet for that frustration, Molly -- I figure we probably have at least 6 months to go before we can start to relax

6:30 pm

It's not frustration Nan. Just disappointment that our regular celebrations have been taken away. And regular life, for that matter.

6:32 pm

Its could be worse --- France and England have it so bad the gov'ts had to shut down the entire country for 3 weeks.

6:33 pm

I guess some people are okay with isolation and mask wearing. On a positive note, some of my neighbors are setting off firecrackers. Go neighbors!

6:33 pm

A good lesson on what will happen if people don't pay attention to the medical advice.

6:36 pm

Isolation and mask wearing while not something anyone wants to do it is what responsible people do do out of consideration and respect for others.

many neighbors are sitting in their driveways with bonfires. they put out tables at the sidewalk with candy

6:39 pm

Yeah, I know Nan. My point was that it is crushing all of our moments of celebration. I feel the worst for the kids who have been robbed of a whole year of fun.

6:40 pm

That's nice TO. I'm glad some people are finding a way around this.

6:41 pm

hello all....

it seems we are having in influx of families wtih children again. so i will resume halloween next year.

6:42 pm

I think our younger grandkids had a great time this summer -- they spent a lot of time with their parents, went camping for 2 or 3 days every week at different places around to province and spent a lot of time on their skateboards since their dad built a half pipe for them in the backyard.

driveway socilals are a thing here.

6:47 pm

Have to say, this has been one lu4.6 of a grid and I'm glad to be done! Good Luck all and HAPPY HALLOWEEN..

yay aloy!

6:50 pm

we had driveway and patio socials all summer, but too cold now

6:52 pm

I'm glad your grandkids had such nice times Nan. Kids with less money in the house, or parents who are out of work didn't fare so well.

the food pantries i work at are each supporting over 10 families.

6:54 pm

their dad did't have any work from March until September either - all the film studios were closed and he makes commercials for a living.

6:54 pm

i have decided that I hate this grid.... :o|

6:55 pm

Well, camping may have cybernan's kids a bit, but the rest doesn't sound of reach for children in impoverished families

6:55 pm

*out of reach

6:56 pm

many kids have had a tough time. money or no money - the anxiety many adults feel is magnified in the kids.

6:56 pm

I don't know Gille -- they certainly aren't suffering and I don't think impoverished kids have a back yard of their own.

6:57 pm

32 to go with the list.

6:57 pm

Well, I was thinking that skate-boarding can be done a lot of places, but you're right, a backyard helps.

6:58 pm

on the other hand, they do spend a lot of time outdoors, crafting, and playing games together --- there is no TV in the house by parental choice.

6:58 pm

73 here....

6:58 pm

I agree Harry. The stress of all this for parents affects the kids.

time for a break.

6:59 pm

stress caused by not likeing what is happening is a state of mind that can be changed -- I feel for the ones who are stressed out because they are losing their homes and don't know where the next meal is coming from.

7:00 pm

I have a recent immigrant family of mother and three kids living in the apartment below me who for some reason seem to spend most of their time cooped up in there, although there are several playgrounds in the area. The mother speaks little English, but at least one of the kids speaks some.

7:02 pm

It's maybe a bit cool now for the playgrounds, but it was the same during the summer.

7:03 pm

*!*~*!* Monkeys got a lot of exercise this time out :)

7:03 pm

Good going!

7:03 pm

wtg nan - very impressive

7:03 pm

congrats...

7:04 pm

back to my sewing machine -- down to the last 6 masks now.

7:04 pm

The kids are quite young and rambunctious (and a bit rebellious, I think), and I hear their mother yelling at them a lot, even through the night.

7:05 pm

Will have to come up with a new projet to keep me busy.

7:05 pm

*project -- cleaning the keyboard should be one of them!

7:06 pm

have a good evening and stay safe :)

7:07 pm
