'morning, folks
Hi welki
hello welki
70 to go. time to shovel. hagd all
Good morning, friends.
Can i have stats for the A in the middle column? All I need for nbt.
hi, bea
Any warm up for you, welki?
it's seasonal here, bea - right now, it's hovering around the freezing mark. winter is so long here, won't really warm up until april or early may
(we have the occasional chinook blow in and that makes for some nice days in between)
-8C here today.
They are predicting our winter will have some cold days and then some mild days, I can live with that.
sukee, i have the a words, but can never figure out which word comes from where (when there are a couple of words that could come from either)
I'm the same at times :)
Animal Planet is on free preview this month, my cat Tobey is loving it. He sits right under the tv and watches.
Thanks for the RO!
Well, maybe I can find that A later. BBL.
i just found it sukee if you're still here
I do Dorens
to steal something
sorry... to burn something.. not quite awake yet

good morning everyone
hey nan, happy Thursday
hi there mool
Anyone have a clue for the Tu6/30?
just got it
a small cylindrical passage
ty for the stats
extend the tu 4
what tu4? the horn?
I assume it is a mathematical, scientific or medical term -- they don't seem to be able to use regular words like the rest of us
it's a shortened form of the old valley girl word for excellent
Great clues all. Ty.
Hi all.
novetta sounds like it should be a priest in training
hi mkg
hey mkg, HH
Hi moo
ooh I just found a word that I haven't seen since we got a multi-speed blender in the 1980's
Harry what is the stat? Ty
fr6
Ty
40 to go. fun grid!
Got it I think. Ty
though I am still missing 12 6s!
46 left....15 6s to go :)
plus the 7 and 2 8s for good measure
I am missing the 8s as always. Clues welcome with stats. Ty
and you've been at it mool for what, 6 minutes?
:)
19 minutes :)
but I am on a con call
must be a very engrossing topic
ever hear of ESG?
eggs,shallot and garlic?
What is east?
Darn auto correct. I typed ESG and it wrote east.....
it sounds delicious
Tell us about ESG
Harry, only blenders in Bah-ston have that speed : D
blendahs
I just fell asleep reading the definition of ESG. Who dreams up these conference call topics and WHY?
35 to go. bottom row greyed :)
Can’t get the p word for the fifth column p. Darn........every time I think I have it it is from other p’s
there was also a rapper named E.S.G. stands for Everyday Street Gangsta.
ESG stands for Environmental, Social Responsibility and Governance
It is a mechanism for measuring organizations and how sustainable they are
yeah I got that. it sounds fascinating.
Zzzzzzzz
not.
I was in on the beginniing of that topic in the early 90s at bell labs
Institutional investors are increasingly looking at ESG as a means for determining where to invest money
the guy who wrote the book on green design
and that expanded in green management.
Right, and now it's expanding into these other areas
Tom Graedel was his name.
oh now he's at Yale.
very nice - it's gratifying that corporations are being pressured to think of these things.
and that people can get jobs greening boardrooms.
but I still like Eggs Shallots and Garlic better.
OK - gotta run. saving 35 for later. My kids are gonna come in from shovelling and will want hot chocolate.
It's also encouraging that they're being held accountable for following regulations, and being socially responsible too
already 15% of institutional investment money is informed by ESG, and the expectation is this will grow further, with a particular focus on Environmental factors over the next few years...
I will also go with eggs, shallots and garlic
hi again -- stuck on my last 4: ro 7 please?
nm found them
first ba 5 please?
scottish child
nm - found that one too
ty dolly

keep plugging Hokie!! you'll get there!
already found 1! ;D
found at least 2 scottish words already
that should be my goal - find all the scottish words in the grid
ooh, top P gray
hmm...un* not a word. sometimes I wish I could unvomit
Dogs do lol
yes, though I wasn't thinking along those lines for me
Haha! I would hope not!
so gross. dogs are so lovable but so gross.
And they lick parts..well you know and then their owners let them lick their faces. YUCK!
winston rolled around in some poop in the woods yesterday so that was nice
Even worse if they roll round in a dead fox. They will really stink for days.
ugh, probably not as bad as a dead skunk I'd imagine
he also loves to roll around on cigars that people throw on the golf course.
They are trying to put a scent on them that makes them scary to other dogs.
well they certainly do love to pick the stinkiest things
Really. Well that one is new to me. I wonder why? Maybe the same reason?
Yes they sure do haha!
what, the cigar? I don't know why
he also likes to roll in freshly cut grass, which does stain his fur green
Yes cigar never heard that one before.
he used to pick them up and start chewing and we'd have to pry it out of his mouth but he learned not to do that
A dog chewing tobacco who would of thought it. All he would need next is a gun holster and a spitoon haha!
hehe
stuck again at 24 left
Yes I am just staring at the screen. Maybe I should take a break to refresh the eyes.
ok, made some lunch. we'll see if my eyes refreshed enough.
hi and bye :)
fly-by?
permission denied, maverick
sorry, got a call I'm hosting :)
32 left if you're wondering though
thanks
afro is like ramen, spam, mosh, and tada. I can't not try those words.
as spock says, live long and praspor
found my missing F thanks to hurshy's flip clue blurting
I thought that was just a phantom or not a real word
I am missing one f as well
probably that
what
It's not that one Harry. Hurshy blurted your blender setting
oh. nm then. I was too lazy to scroll way down to the flip
if you have the one she blurted I will guess your missing one is the shortened version
got that
one that rhymes with bea's baby plants?
the rest are combos I think
Do you get fries with them?
bea has baby plants?
she took a class on propagating them
The plant misspelling Harry, I"m sure you have it
I think I do not
then he's just missing a plural
or possibly singular
got it
ty both :)
fiddleheads
are you calling us names or is that like an interjection?
that's a baby fi4
well fe4.
they're edible
I see
my son just informed me he's going to drink his protein shake and take an ice bath in the new snow.
phantom petunia
crazy kid
yup
Poor kid. All that social isolation has driven him over the edge.
okay, I saw what my missing 7/8 start with but am not seeing them.
he's the least isolated of all of us
how old is he?
16. going on 35.
haha. yeah, I could see a kid saying that in the good ole days.
my senior is 18 and says he would be fine living on his own
oh yeah - he's always saying he'll go live on his own.
his plan it either to get a chateau in italy and drink wine, or a ranch in wyoming and write a manifesto
solid plans
depends on the day.
29 and stuck.
am I missing something easy with the left E?
nm
:) wtg
yeah, I just monkeyed it. last chemistry for me was in 1991
and I don't recall ever seeing that word
owuldn't be in hs chem.
just need on T on the bottom to gray that row and column
for some stupid reason I took chemistry freshman year at virginia tech
tu6?
I guess it is tu6
like a valley girl word
is that a real word or a made up one?
good clue, thx
sounds real to me
I was just going to declare it not real
like if you're watching tv on a real small set
I now have a grayed i - top row, bottom row, middle column
19 left here.
need 1 u, so many possibilities but enable is so fickle
25
still need 2 us
18!
Any clues for the lower right P?
I have pe6/21
can't find the other
pe5/12
kinda rhymes with a bike part
duh, thanks HH
Thanks!
got the fifth column grey, and the fifth row.
I need 1 A in 5th column
yoga?
I guess? that doesn't fit the 2 I have.
ah, we had that recently
thx

AA RR SSS B NN P U TTT

bye! I think I will do some stuff and come back.
but found another T6 on my way out! 13!
hi all 70 left and stuck

ro8 a person who grows the flowers of love
Or one of those old Catholic women who is always on her beads : D
ty looking
ty got it
Molly did you get a lot of snow. we did not.just a few inches
one of our neighbors shovelled our walk and another used a snow plow
so the sidewalk is snow and ice free.
back again...
hi moo
hey peri, happy Thursday
same to you
55 left bbl
Peri we just got a few inches too but icing is a problem here as well.
thanks
27 left
Good morning - going to bet one is the tu6.30
11 now! thx for the clues, molly
morning Carla
lynnnnn!
Hi - I'm usually in & out these days but see you busily working the grid regularly
hey lyn, happy friday
rehi hoke :)
finally found my last 7 and 8
20 to go
My last was the sp7...obviously scottish roots aren't very strong. Have a good afternoon/evening you two
my last 7 was actually a subset of the 8 I was missing...though I already had the subset 6
if that makes any kind of sense
sorry, I am in and out right now. looking for a file on my computer, flash drive, and portable drive, and it is nowhere.
AA SSS B NN P U T
harry was right, obscenities. one of my favorite (made up by me years ago), assbut
actually, I'm a T short, it's assbutt
1 4, 4 5s, 6 6s.
(yes, my hope is that by typing it out I can see them)
Sometimes work.
zooz!
are your eyes refreshed?
I mean if, Peri can ask for a clue then almost instantly get it I cannot see why yours does not work haha!
Yes I am doing rather well now thank you!
nice!
17 to go now
3x4, 6x5 and 8x6
11 still
A,A,B,B,F,N,P,P,P,R,R,S,S,T,T,T,U
well, at least today it looks like we're doing the same one
yeah
which u's do you have?
appair - when it looks like two socks should go together
4,5 and 5
according to my kids and husband, that's any two socks
un6
they have a certain appairance
ok then
if a lion mistakenly has an utterance, can they unroar?
zooz and I have already discussed the unbarf
I was just about to
lol
you were about to discuss it or do it?
and surely one can be unrapt about something
the kids had built a sandcastle in the living room, but their mother was unrapt about it
That u6 ends in to wander about.
believe me, I've tried these all day. unvote, unveto
seems like a stupid word, thx
hello
the others are just as valid as that one.
TO!
Hello, T Owl!
hey TO, happy Thursday
abrir es no bueno
maybe it's to remove former presidential advisor Carl from your campaign
happy thursday. thawing out after finishing up the shoeveling.
how much snow?
maybe 6 "? but then a couple of sleet.
it has looked like snow here all day, but just a little mist earlier. plus it's 44F.
very heavy. bad enough clenaing up the porch and walkway and end of the drive after neighbor cleared drieveay
38 here...I thik
in typical nor'easter fashion, the sky was lovely blue today.
we don't tend to get that wet heavy snow like in Philly here
when we get snow we get all kinds
it was murder. i carried a lot of it to the end of the driveway, took two hands and i lost a coople of shoverlfuls along the way
i find it hard to relax when it's sleeting that heavily.
I don't miss the freezing rain then covered with snow
heart attach snow, for sure.
yeah, that happens here a lot. actually opposite, snow, then freezing rain or sleet on top of it.
Broken bone conditions that is for sure.
so what TO described
my deocrations blew off the porch twice.
I remember getting 2 1/2 feet of snow once in Philly...I kneeled in it and a goldfinch actually landed on my shoulder
and the bow came off the light up present. will fix it later.
I would rather that than you off the porch, T Owl!
o.O
abrir and baño
you need the bathroom?
well, went out in the thick of it last night and when i came it, with wet shoes, it was like a skating rink in my foyer.
I knew you like birds, didn't know you were the bird whisperer
just pointing out the spanish words in the grid
but not as bad as predeicted and i could have gone out
teta too then :)
moo, were you here for the great winter of... the one where we had the inches and the ice storm? i've never been in a worse winter storm.
It was about 50f here today so had to put my gloves on. Thought that was cold enough haha!
I keep seeing vuvuzela even though the letters aren't there. not sure what language that is.
no, don't believe so TO...was that late 2000s?
perhaps swahili hke
I looked it up, it's a zulu word
vuvu apparently means to make a sound
maybe mid. we were off wor for three days, governor's orders to conserve energy, rolling power outages.
well, my spellcheck was okay with it
yeah, I have the sense it was just after I left
I left in 2006
zooz, i feel for you...
15 to go
haha! Yeah right!
LOL. I did put gloves on yesterday to walk the dog, but it was 36F
still stuck on 10 here
oh, i see.. you all are playing some sort of game. ;)
i cannot yet see 8 letter words.
I do actually have sympathy for you guys who seem to get a lot of cold weather. I cannot stand cold conditions.
well, I wouldn't call what I'm doing playing it
Ro8 Sp8
depends on what you mean by cold
and lots
dryer has buzzed. see you later.
our worst winter weather is usually Jan & Feb
bye TO
Snowy,icy,sleety all with wind. anything near freezing and below.
wind is no fun
I've had a couple of days this week where it hasn't gotten above freezing
today is a little above
I think we can all agree on that (wind)
when it's still here and the sun is out...it can be pleasant...even when it's below freezing
I watch a lot of live feed webcams. I watch santaclaus village. also Finland levi, And a few others. The snow in finland levi is mad.
They still had two massive piles of snow heaped up an the large hill throughout Summer!
well, I'm at 39 degrees north latitude or thereabouts...helsinki, at the southern end of Finland is at 60
It is their main ski slope though but still there in the Summer. No thanks.
I'll have to check that out.
the only live feed I check regularly is the Big Texan 72oz steak challenge. LOL.
ooh, found a word
lol
not cold related if you're wondering, nor spanish
oh, looks like someone's getting ready to go in the challenge
what letter, moo?
T
I just need 1 T
it was off the bottom t, so I assume you have it already
If it is six letters long just give us the first six letters.
LOL, zoozz
okay, it doesn't end in u
haha!
yes, I need one on the 19
it is 6 letters tho :)
ooh, another t6...albeit off the 4th row
and a third...to complete my T's
Bet it was the TU 6/30
I found 2 similar T6 off the 4th row earlier
you're just giving it away today zoo :)
yeah, those were my last two hoke
Sorry.
the fish and the horse
so what is my last one, zooz? from the 19
no worries zoo
there's three 6s off that one hoke
atA 6/24 maybe.
TA6*
that would be my guess too
ok, must be a 6
12 to go....2x4, 6x5 and 4x6
was about to ask for the pt. total and then saw your post that snuck in. finally found it.
9 left! 1 4, 4 5s, 4 6s
11 left...I found a 5
10 to go
My last word was the SA 6/18 never see that one.
yep, don't have that. looking...
I guess you were suddenly enlightened then
LOL
was too good to pass up :)
I guess it will be funny when I find it :P
A,A,B,F,N,P,P,P,R,S
AA SSS B NN P
Time for me to rest my head on a pillow and allow my eyelids to close. Hope you both find the hidden words in todays grid and enjoy the wonderful sights of the fireworks!
you have a lot fewer p's
good night, zooz. sounds like a nice idea, sleep
found my missing f
night zoo
just need 1 P from the 5 tile
yeah, I have one off that, and two off the top
nm, found the bottom p
ooh, what was it?
Un6 please?
someone who likes averageness in golf would be a parfan no?
yeah, thats a popular today Une...un + wander
Hee hee
un + something an eye might do on a guy
hey, I got checked out plenty in Miami...and not by guys
:D
bienvenido a miami
indeed
An eye? Don't understand.....
another spanish word...rana
ok, moo's clue is probably better, une
4:23
can I have the def. of the sa6/18?
posara too apparently
to be suddenly enlightened hoke
and moo, you never told me the p you found
oh, it was a chicken
Tx.....what a weird word!
oh yeah, that didn't help earlier. not sure why I asked .
apparently it's the pt of unreeve
agreed, une
looks italian then
although you normally see a longer version as an adjective with "elegance"
went to the list. never seen any of those words before. still have 2 6s I can't find.
still 8 to go
and one of them is a 4
I could say something that would probably give that one away
or you could just open your mind
heh
whew, finally got the last 2. still not familiar with them.
no idea
still 8
bu 5/16, pls
a bluff or cliff?
almost a male servant
or a male servant's action
he always "did it"
ty mool, carla
back.
keep seeing parapet
ooh, found a word
nice
and I also saw parapet
was a variation on a word I already had
and another word
6 to go
A,B,N,P,P,R to go
1x4, 3x5 and 2x6
still pretty sure on the 4
but my clue was too good :D
I do have 6 n4s in case you're thinking it was that
nope
my last N was a 5
well half my remaining words are 5s, so that's a strong possibility
well, I'm assuming for R you have the bird ;)
apparently not
my r is off the top row
the bird type that is also a dino type on Jurassic Park
oh geez
I didn't have that
my daughter would be disappointed
she likes them both
was that really it? sorry. I thought a bird guy would definitely have.
nope, missed it entirely
just took winston in the back yard and he took off. thought I'd lost him forever but he then he appeared. our back yard is a swamp right now so his paws were covered in mud.
Hola. Any clue for AR 6?
hola! it was new to me. no def. not sure how to clue but it is ar + a b4
new to me too! thanks!
no prob
new to me too :)
ah, there's my final 4
2 to go
1 to go
was it the A?
no, was the p
I had the abbreviated spanish word already
aha, then that's why my clue didn't work. LOL
it was a p4/5 combo
yeah, I had it before you even mentioned it
a b5 to finish this one out
nice
and fw
Congrats!
so just needed clues for that a6 and u6...otherwise got them
well done
I might've eventually figured out the u...but not sure
oh, and the bird one :)
I know, I tried the u with all the other words, eventually I might've made it to the right one
my last a was actually the word you clued
ah
the last n was a 5
the bird one was one of the earliest I saw :D
the last b was a kid from hibernia
was it kinda like a diaper?
that's how it goes
I got the harder of the two 8s relatively early on
yeah, that was it hoke
my last B was the one we clued for bichon. new to me.
ah, yeah had that one relatively earlier to go with the bums and bluffs
I did find all those together except that one
oops, not hibernia, the other celtic country :)
time to figure out supper. okay, it's actually kinda late to be figuring it out but that's how we roll. ;) see y'all tomorrow.
I found the 2 scottish words early this morning
Caledonia
yeah, it actually came easy in the end...sometimes I get locked in, and once I get a word or two, the last ones all pan out
I reach a point where I can find no more, even if I am familiar with them. I feel good about today since I didn't know the ones left. (though I may have seen the a4 before). hopefully I'll remember them next time. ;D
when i step away i rgenerallly see more wornds upon my reitnr. not this. time.
Could I get the stats for the bottom 'e' in column 1, please?
I'd appreciate stats for the lower left E also, please
el5/12 dcs
