Good luck to our US pals on the election. I will be avoiding all coverage and watching Love, Actually :)
Great plan Sukee
Not enough Ss and Ts
Sorry matty, auto correct, st8
leuth
ST8 - the most sturdy or still (in a way). Start with st6 (Trump claimed he was a very st6 genius) and then build up from there
Thank you
and here I was thinking it was people who put horses away at night
TY, Matty
Stables
Haha
Sorry
I'll go sit in a corner
Nope, we already had that when we had st8
I could have used the horse clue, but that wouldn't work as well for the 8, I think ;)
I managed to get it from that
ahh - there are 2 st8.50
Yes
very friendly grid
Good morning, Harry.

II heard an interesting discussion about mail in voting. Apparently, a lot of people don't trust it.
I think a lot of people don't trust anything anymore.
Name that Proper Noun: Italian Island
Elba
Very Excellent!!! You win, like some before you, a one way trip to the island!
a*** was i ere i saw elba
hello
hi, owl
morning, welk. you are up early
have always been an early riser - 5am
Mail-in voting was good enough for Americans living/travelling outside the country and for members of the U.S. military for many decades--it is good enough this time around as well. Certain political parties have striven to sabotage this system and to sow disinformation and fear about this method of voting by dismantling sorting machines, removing official voting boxes, and spreading rumours in the weeks and months leading up to the election. Now it seems that customary early counting procedures have been intentionally blocked in key states so that the official tally will take much longer thus giving a false impression of problems with mail-in votes
i am back to early since the time changes. but still adjusting.
i need to get moving before the crowds. hagd
It always takes me a few weeks to adjust to the time change.
as a resident of the most crucial state this time, i can say the misinformation and dirty tactics are on both sides. and that's all i have to say.
fair enough.
hagd and happy babbling.
Americans will have to be ready for the fact that it may be several days before a final count is in due to heavy early and mail-in voting.
I'm not looking for a final number until after Nov. 12.
Hey Crossy!!
Howdy, une! :)
I had hoped for a 700 word grid for election night.
I pray that voter turnout is massive. Us Canadians, as well as the rest of the world are relying on the incredible power of the average Americans vote this year, and we are in fact jealous as we wish we could cast a vote this time as well.
I think early voting has been heavier than in 2016. Don't know what that signifies. I did a mail in ballot. Tracked it and it was received and accepted.
Very nice. Thank you for voting for those of us who cannot. :)
Need to get ready for a zoom meeting...
Have a good day Bea
hi/bye bea, hi everyone else
Howdy, Hokie. :)
I voted a couple of weeks ago. took my 18 yo son. mr. homie & I always vote early.
:)
my 20 yo son went and voted by himself the other day too.
i took my vote in to the registrar's office, as I didn't trust the post office. Everything in the USPS is running really slowly and late.
Young votes are critical as well as they will inherit what is created today.
say hi to cindy for us bea
WE JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN AND THAT INCLUDES THE NEXT MONTH- OR TWO. I hate not knowing. It's like saying prepare for a pandemic. Nobody knows what it is like till we're well into it. And it's not going away.
still getting texts for Robert & Janie. I think I told y'all I googled and found their last name and discovered Robert died at the end of Aug. well, last night I got a text telling Robert he hadn't voted yet and this was his polling place. I wanted to tell them he died, but I just said wrong number and STOP and they apologized.
you could have had fun with it hokie.. and played them a while for bothering you
you could have said that Robert is transitioning and needs personal time to sort things out :D
so, I get a ton of political texts for them but I also get texts and calls from people wanting to buy a house he owns in OH. that's how I was finally able to find out their full name.
yeah, if they text today I'll have to see what I can come up with
I would really pull their chain if they were bothering me
yeah, I should just start telling them I'll sell the house to them
you could say he was taken captive by a mexican drug cartel
and you're trying to sell the house for cash to raise money for his release
yeah, cash only ,send to my paypal
or bitcoin
yes
my brother just texted me that he was the 18th person in line at 6am to vote and normally he is 1st or 2nd at that time. unfortunate though that he lives in trump country.
where is that
SW Va, right on the TN border
ooh, finished left L
Social distancing is making lines longer and wait times longer as well. I've heard people are brining folding chairs and food and drink due to the long wait times.
not sure how long he had to wait outside but he said it was 29F
phantom statutue
statute
Yeah, it's chilly here too but supposed to warm up as the day goes on. I've seen a lot of photographs of people in line to vote and most of them are not six feet apart.
yeah, I can't imagine they were where my brother voted
when we early voted, it was at a hotel conf. center, and they had 6' dots in the lobby. the 3 of us stood together on one but the woman in front of us was basically all over the man in front of her.
left S finished!
I have found that some people are oblivious to social distancing.
me too.. especially at the grocery stores
yes. not sure how you could be.
ru - looks like your kind of grid. TT's everywhere you look.
so many T's and S's
:D the more T's the merrier
(trying to start something on my way out the door)
one day we're going to have a grid of solid t's and one vowel
hello! 11 to go here
that'll be a short game
When I was at the grocery store the other day, the dairy stock clerk was lecturing someone on their responsibility to vote. Looked like it was going over like a lead balloon.
you little shit disturber pastor j
hey harry! 58 left here
LOL!
grid flows so nicely today. but I have no idea about my missing words
it's a super easy grid today
At least there are no trigger cats in the grid today.
missing 3 Bs
better type tsar just in case. nope.
trigger cat?
left T finished!
NTPN - the family on Arrested Development
as expected, slowed way down on the B
oh well. making no progress. gotta go - 6 periods in a row.
no school here today
bye, harry!
lucky you
bye.
we also only have 4 periods a day
unlike when I was in school and we had 7
there goes that once a month theory
oh lort
I know, I was just thinking, 4 periods in a day. What a problem.
2nd col gray!
Lort...the God of food crumbs
I think that's a Madea thing though I've never seen any of the Madea movies. picked it up elsewhere on the internet.

pabst

I seem to be stuck (haven't listed) at 18 left :(

Hah! I had the superlative but not the plural
yw dan
Thanks Ru

LOL, I guess everyone finished and left. Now I'm All By Myself. Don't wanna be...
oh come on, you're never batless in the on deck circle
I'm here! Go hokie go!
:D thanks for the cheering. I'm really stuck.
I just started and doing my first run through, but I can try to help
it's actually a really good grid
I expect moo to finish this grid in 5 minutes.
hi all. any clues for that T in 4th row and 4th column? cant see it........ty.
it is a nice one. not horribly challenging.
i got half way in ten minutes.
tu5/6, has been in several recent grids, one who receives instruction from a tu5 (not in grid)
hi car
hi mkg
hello!
how are you doing lately mlfan, haven't seen you much
got them. great clue carla. ty. and hi mlfan.
happy voting. lets hope there is NO rioting or protesting today
I just want a peaceful day
ba sh st and ta what am i missing?
there is another st
hokie am fine i just dont stay on ths iste long because of the not secure by the adddress
;i know it has never had a lock on it but it just makes me uneasy
MLF that just means like... don't send your bank info on such a page. it's not like it's actively dangerous.
mlfan, from that bottom corner there aremany words: including ab and then adding endings and beginnings. all based on the ab 5 word
hurshy y eah know if only it would stay black and not turn red
Ok. 39 left. More cookies to decorate. Have a great day everyone. Remember to breathe....
in wars there are many ba***** and then you can add an r to end and then plural. that is one example.
mkg yes i thought i could extend the ab 4/5 but no luck
yeah, mlfan, the only issue is if you use this password on other sites. someone could steal the password here and use it on those. but if you have a unique one here it's fine.
i have that one mkg
ok.
and if you don't have a unique one on here, I suggest changing it
off to take a swim. bbl
It’s not that the site is a security risk. It’s that the connexion isn’t encrypted. The login page isn’t encrypted, and that’s the main problem. Once you’re logged in, you’re fine as the cookie that keeps you logged in between sessions can’t be used to find out your password
ty mkg:)
true encrypted
and I did find out recently there is a 12 character max on passwords here so if you do change yours don't go more than 12
yeah it just means it's a regular website (http) not a secure website (https)
hurshy I am stuck at 7 left
i just started but going along very nicely
aww poor hoke
I have never used more than twelve characters for a password. I rarely go as high as eight, unless requested.
yes, it will not take you long
i've got a password manager and my only regret is that i didn't start using it sooner
(the real risk is if you play using a public connection)
really hurshy?
yep
molly, I did hear back from Dr. God pretty quickly the other night - he was surprised this was the first time the issue came up. I think it's because when everyone signed up long, secure passwords weren't a thing and no one has changed it since.
oh password managers are really good (and don’t use the one built into the brower)
ooh, nice sl6/24
hurshy, I've been using a password manager for a few years now, it's great.
clue pls hurshy
yeah i love it
a detective, mlfan
sl6/24 looks for its own clues
that one actually took me a while to see
oh i have that one
you didn't read enough nancy drew when you were a kid then hokie :D
I did! but I really loved Trixie Belden.
It's not a word used much anymore. Although it is the name of a movie.
yeah trixie was great
you can't even really find trixie books these days. these poor girls can't read them.
when i was in 6th grade, my one friend and i both read lots of nancy drew, and the spelling bee got down to us as the last two, and she spelled amateur wrong. and i was like, how could you get that wrong, it's in every single nancy drew book?!
haha
ok, I know my missing T is te7 but I just can't see it
top two rows grey!
oh, would you care to guess my missing e from top row 4th col?
el51/2
5/12
er5/10
good morning everyone and hopefully a new dawn :)
no, it is the el5. shouldn't be so hard.
it's a new day, it's a new dawn, it's a new life fooooor me and i'm feeeeeeeelin good
got it, thx
6 left!
molly, care to clue the te7? P&TY
lol hurshy
te7 ends in the plural of the letter after R
if you can move things with your mind, that's ****kine***, make it pl
**Our apologies to Michael Buble
i just found two weird b words but i STILL need four more b
hurshy and molly -- odd word
ok, thx y'all. is that a plural of the te5 that I thought was a pl already?
hello all!
also need 4 B, hurshy. 5 total left
hey, lindy
no, it's a plural of the way i clued it
wow, never seen so many Ts in one board
there are a lot of T's but it's pretty easy overall
I am baffled by what these 4 B's could be
good. I don't have as much time today for this.
have already spent too much time on it. I think I will list.
It's easy, yet she's baffled
of course my missing H is my last 7
aha cool
got it
I guess you were cl8 to the hu7
finally used that suffix!
I guess so
now to the B's!
missing one o - have the ol 4 ad the os 6-7 - missing pls?
os4/4
i am missing the Bs and also a P
well, 2 I found with the list but they are new to me
ty hurshy
still looking for last 2 and not sure what else they could be
name that proper noun! a brand of beer
fireworks!
pabst
(already won that one today)
well done, dolly
oh, well, ding ding ding anyway!
no one played mine - family in Arrested Development
ok found a 4/5 combo now just need a 5/6 hopefully also combo
bluth
ding ding ding!
finally monkeyed the last 2 b's. glad to report I didn't know those either.
birds flyin high you know how i feel
done!
Every time I hear that song now I think of the male stripper Vegas scene in This Is Us
grats hurshy - 21 to go here - trying for listless
ah, well, then i'm glad i don't watch that show
you can do it nan! i did!
don't know - missing a lot of s words
i'm sure you can get them, s words are all either normal or short
have 2 7's and an 8
make that 5 7's and 2 8's
there are two 8s in the S. there's one 7 you may be thinking of as a comparative, but it can also be a noun and thus you can pl it
oh you said 2 8s
no there are THREE
and what i said stands as a helpful hint
sigh
of course the alternative would be that you thought of it as a noun and not a comparative, and thus you need the superlative
Got that Nan? : D
proper noun - muppet heckler!
but try as i might, i can only count 4 S7, not 5
have all the 7's so looking for the one I haven't pluralized
none
have an st 8 - missing?
and an sh 8
the 7 in question might either be the person who puts the horses in their place, or "on more solid footing".
so either you plural the first, or you get the "most" of the second
missed the most
ty hurshy
3 missing s's now one each from middle, and corners
sh5 rhymes with what you do with a camera or a gun
left corner, sa4/6
middle... maybe an se4/4, there are 4 of those, or maybe the very last st5/10, after what you do to direct your car
just found that one, ty -- and got the sa ty again - new one for me
ooh or sl4/5 not the insult
must be the sl 4 -- just have the disreputable one and the one that sounds like a swamp
don't see anything el 4 though
look harder or el4 you won't spot it
how many sl 4/5's are there?
well i think i meant the one that sounds like a swamp. there are only two 4/5
you have all 4 of the se4/4?
2 sl4/5's, one sl4/4 from the other s
4 of them?
yes, 4 of them
3 in a row, and then one after the 6
will leave it for - might be my last word
a clue for the te7 please?
most of to relate (a story) + plural plural letter
or prefix for phone, plural and plural again
thanks nan
missing 4 b's -- either 5's or 6's
have 4 war words
giving up and listing for last 5
