howdy folks. well, I have 41 left from last night when I was falling asleep.but it looks like they might be a PITA.

Not an easy grid today.

Hokie - just shake your rump (nice early 90s reference!)
(high five, gobias!)
I always see and love your music/movie references.
aww, I'm happy someone gets them!
I'm not the best at remember to respond as I see the comments, but if I'm online and see them, I always get them!
my friend & I say we have musical ADD - anytime a partial lyric comes up in conversation, we break out into song
Yes! Or someone says something and it triggers my brain and I internally start singing.
I have a problem where it's usually not internal :D
Ha! Depending on who I'm with, if I think they'll get my reference or know whatever song it is, then I'll bring it up. I find that so many people around me don't love or remember 80s/90s music the way I do.
help with the first row n letter please
1st col N? still looking.
NA 5 NIGERIAN money
most of the people around me are around my same age, so they usually know the same music
of course it's foreign money, thx ru
1st col gray!
The people around me that are my age apparently weren't obsessed with MTV and the radio like I was when we were growing up. Sometimes they get the references, other times, not so much.
I can remember when MTV started and we watched it obsessively. We would leave it on and play outside and if we saw/heard Thriller coming on, we would all run inside to watch.
thats so cool hokie
hokie have you seen the movie 13 going on 30?
and all the little kids would be running away hokie
I remember MTV doing Madonna-thons and I would just keep watching, waiting for the videos for "Material Girl" and "Papa Don't Preach" to roll around. I watched MTV before school, after school, all the time. I'd just flip between MTV and VH1.
also, we would have the boom box ready with a blank cassette for when a song we liked came on the radio and we would rush to hit record. there are still 80s songs today that when I hear it I expect the next song on my mix tape or the DJ talking
does anyone remember that blonde girl who was a huge fan of Prince?
Oh my gosh, yes! I always had a tape ready to go to record songs off the radio!
i dont know her name
no, mlfan - to both your questions
MLFAN - was she also a singer?
hokie in 13 going on 30 they did the number for thriller
'morning, everyone
ah
not that i know of gobias
morning welk
was the blond girl named Madonna? hahaha
welki!
morning
owl :)
owl!
hokie, owl and i have music memories like yours. mine, however, comes to a screeching halt at the 90s
welk
carla fan
hahaha my ock and roll heart is loving fontanes dc right now.
drives my husband crazy - can't take a ride without me spewing out lyrics that are so, so old
hahaha my friend cannot abide the radio on while driving. imagine!
hehe - wasn't so bad when i was young and had a decent voice
that's crazy. no radio while driving
fontanes dc. punk lives.
never really got that into punk
oh my, that reminds me of something that happened at work years ago - my colleague and i were running a trial and the defendant says, 'sharif, he don't like it.'
OMG that's hysterical
So did you rock the casba?
we danced a little
that song was a big hit at navy functions. sadly, joe strummer meant it the very opposite and was deeply troubled by its use in war
I do know that song, because they played it on MTV ;D
joe strummer :(
ah, when mtv still had music. those were the days.
welk, my firned loves punk. go figure. lots of pent up rage i guess. or just having to be different.
alright, we are heading back home today so I gotta get busy. will save 31 for tonight. only found 10 this morning!
you are on the road?
even though we had a really good system, i don't miss packing up the rv
i am a bit envious. i did get to drive to wayne yesterday. that will have to do for a road trip.where
wayne nj?
where's carla? it's such gorgeous weather
route 23?
no, PA.
i brought stuff to a friend to sell in her etsy shop.
industrious! i have bags of clothing i have to put out for the kidney foundation this morning - this downsizing thing sucks.
downsizing?
great time for yard sales. there are so few
my cousin takes her stuff to a shop up near wayne for consignment.
nj, that is.
she wants to move to sparta area but the cost is so high, i could not believe it. taxed to build infrastructure that was never in that rural area
last word...an7?
sparta
sparta was always overpriced
against battling phaeton
(and yeah, ru, we're slowly emptying the house with hopes of moving next year)
oh.. somewhere warmer?
nah, just up to the lake
i will be starting that process soon too
blech - cold and snowy here and the dog needs to go out
ty ru...fw
good morning everyone :)
warm and sunny in DC area. in the 70s.
any clues for the 9 with stat? ty
ho 9/60 small payment
thanks. not sure what it is but ty.
fee paid to a guest lecturer
got it ty.
not necessarily a small payment at all!
often this is a very large payment saanichcat.
ho9 is a "we are not supposed to pay you for this but we are going to pay you anyway"
also could use a clue and stats for the bottom row T words. ty.
ty for ho. Perfect description molly. Was just trying to think of how to describe it
actually not so molly. i think that it is assumed the person will be paid but the money comes from a fund specifically for speakers. maybe i am wrong.
i know many people make a living from speaking and being paid this way. it can be very lucrative indeed. when a past president speaks, they earn mega bucks.
don't think the current president will need to worry about that :)
ho9 definition...a payment in recognition of acts or professional services for which custom or propriety forbids a price to be set
unless he is addressing a school for felons on how to lie and cheat your way through life
i am sure he will be paid mega bucks too........there are many fans of his out there. shockingly many.
Nan, if you noticed, almost half the country voted for the current President. So I'm sure he will garner a lot of money for speaking.
you bet he will. for sure.
any clues for that bottom row T??????cant find anything.
ti 7/28
molly - he can't speak -- all he can do is spout venom
and it is getting very old
ty nan. any clue for it?
I'm sure you can monkey it, given the points, mkg
got it! ty nan
just realized i havent got the 8! ouch. i welcome stat and clues. ty.
trump will be paid to spout whatever it is comes into his head........for sure.
pare
maybe he will spout himself right into jail
oops sorry
i see you are a fan of his nan........
after all if he is in jail we pay for his food and clothes and pay him a salary as well.......and we pay for his health care.jail is too good for him nan
but he did do something right to get peace agreements between those arab states and israel. and i personally applaud his moving the embassy to jerusalem. i think every nation has a right to decide what is their capitol city.
I don't think that had anything to do with it -- he certainly didn't do any negotiating himself and the embassy move was an effort on his part to get the jewish vote
and for 4 years Israel wasnt bashed in the UN.when there are dozens of nations murdering citizens, allowing crime beyond belief, and treating women like slaves, the UN comes down on only one nation for whatever they do: israel. israel where the arab citizens vote, elect officials to the knesset, and have all human rights. they are bashed for whatever they do. why did the head of hamas decide to go to an israeli hospital when he got ill? there are hospitals in gaza and in egypt and in the west bank. but he chose to go to israel. why? because he knew he would be treated right and without predjudice. actions speak loudly. he wasnt afraid they would murder him. he wasnt afraid he would be killed. so in his heart he knew he was better off letting the israeli's treat him than his own people. very telling. but does the press carry that? no. and does israel ban him from their hospitals because he has murdered hundreds of israeli citizens through terrorism? no! ah, but the UN is silent on this.
it's easy to read everything trump does as evil and only for his own interest. But there was actually alot of common sense actions that he took for the long term good of the country.
Taking a hard line on China and Iran among them.
trump wanted the evangelical christian vote. not the jewish one. jews dont really matter votes wise.
Which will probably, unfortunately, be undone by the new administration.
Thank goodness they are tethered by a balanced congress.
I personally applauded the undoing of the iran deal. i have a friend who works in DC and read the deal. He said it was horrible and put the world in real danger. and he is a democrat. not a republican.
i agree harry. if iran deal is undone and sanctions lifted we are all in trouble.
unless there is a revolution in iran, things are bad there. many of the people i know from iran fear the govt. there very much.
I'm sure this will be decried in the chat - and don't think I'm running away from the conversation - I have advisee meetings. I know that contrarians are usually roasted here after they depart.
I still think that moving the embassy to Jerusalem was a slap in the face to Palestine
any clues for the 8? lets get back to that.
nan it was moved to west jerusalem which was ALWAYS jewish and ALWAYS over the green line. come on now....
if it was a slap, they would have put it in the old city. but they didnt.
it wasn't always jewish -- only since post WWII
nan you need to read history. east jerusalem was arab. west jerusalem was jewish from the middle ages when the windmill was built. when the war in 1948 was fought, the arabs who were living in west jerusalem (very few) went to east jerusalem and the jews from east jerusalem and the old city fled to west jerusalem. it was an even flow.
Harry, you will never get the bitter, anti-Trump people here to see anything he did as useful.
except that the jews in the old city were forced out and many were killed.
i agree molly
enough politics. i need the 8 please. please. pretty please?
i am an independent voter and always will be. i see both sides as good and bad. by the way no one remembers that biden stepped out from the race for president years ago due to being caught in lies. anyone else remember that? so we must all see that things are grey! they are never black and white. we must remember the grey in order not to be swept up in emotion.
any clues for the 8?
I have no illusions about Biden being a good President. But the Democrats didn't have to work too hard this time around. They could have put up Joe Nobody as a candidate and he would have won over Trump. Which is kind of what the Democrats did in 2008.
i should have run then. i lost my opportunity.....
tr 8 please?
is the 8 two words? i dont have it.
no, it's Italian sounding. A quilting term, apparently.
break down clue please?
wow. dont know the term
tr8 starts with what you put out to catch mice then add the last three of not uncle and then add a vowel
i just googled it and got a glossary and there it was. ty

Hurshy, I'm sorry I missed the rest of the conversation last night. Life is full of ups and downs. I'm sure there are plenty more ups for you. Look forward to them.
hey guys, back to see if I can get these last 16...
I am finished but here to check my icon.
I see my October cat. It should be Happy Harvest.
I see Happy Harvest. Do a hard refresh.
Thanks Molly.
ugh. this grid has rats.
Hard to believe it's already 10 Nov. Happy Birthday USMC I'm late changing my icon as usual.
i don't think there are.
i ordered some clohting from macy's on line. my advice: don't. unless it's the only place on earth that has it and you can't live wihout it.
That's too bad Owl. Trouble getting what you ordered or just not liking the quality ?
Hurshy, I am sure you are feeling very sad right now. And I'm sorry about that. I will believe in better days for you while you can't. Okay?
bad info and poor customer service.
any clues for ou words? sixes and sevens it says on list. dont see any.

All 6s
went faster on feet, be more bellicose than, be cleverer than
Bellicose...great word
i love interesting words....
even French words....pamplemousse is one of my favorites....
so rare that Latin class pays out directly :-)
Wow, who knew grapefruit could sound so fancy. Leave it to the French.
yes, lol.....
my cousin and I had a conversation about favorite French words when we were on our trip to France last fall....
her favorite is papillon.....butterfly....
papillon is a good one (and for that matter the equivalent in spanish - Mariposa), but for me, my fave french word has to be pamplemousse
^5
mirabelle (plum) is another one I like
yes, another good one....
plum in french is prune
true, variety of plum then :)
oh yeah, never thought of that.
Mirabelle plum, also known as mirabelle prune or cherry plum, is a cultivar group of plum trees of the genus Prunus.
I think I'm stuck with 10 to go
listing at 28 - no patience for this.
can't believe titwart didn't work
