wow, almost all the refrain from the famous Poe poem about the big black bird is in here

Any help for the lone I? Thanks in advance.

Cloris Leachman was amazingly talented. Another great one goes to the big show.

phantom ocelot
Good morning, all. Q's blacked out, so I've got that going for me.
Nice work, Judi. Good morning.
Hi all.
Any clues for the 8s or 9? Ty.
re8/40 one who re 6/30
le8/55
Sure it's one who re6/18, yes?
le8/55 add on to le6/27
I'm not seeing that le6/27 - am I missing the blindingly obvious?
le6 is one who runs away from debts
geographic term
Got it, more by luck than design. Thanks
I didn't know that def'n, bea
It is probably not used much any more
good to learn something new
Thanks.
Down to 94. Not much blacked out though.
69 here. only the lone tiles and the Q blacked out
Thanks for stats. I got the re 8! Would love a clue for the 9.
blacked the lower E!
well third row E.
Not seeing the le 8. Hmmm.
le+ highish value tile + picnic pest
Then expand it
Dont see an A near the high tile. Hmmm
HighISH I said.
Not the highest value tile - the second highest
Ohhhh. Ok got an le 6. Ty.
Maybe its not the double letter tile...
Got the 8! Ty.

When you re6 back to a previous routine + picnic pest
ty molly
didn't know there was such a word --- sometimes I think I am living in the world of norm crosby
It is a mutant gene.
I suppose there are a couple of re 8's as well
oh - found one
Then you found the only re8
ty bea
molly woulnt that make it a re8?
No
misseda letter
got it now
thanks for the re/8 clue molly!
re/9
Anyone care to speculate on what my missing H might be?
he6/21
Yep, that'll be the one. Hunting now! Thanks!
a dog an austrailian blue he6
dog that follows a certain command?
I feel very silly having missed that one
(locks up fish box so matty can't slap herself)
(tugs at fish box lid, fruitlessly)
Why Matty? I have never heard of the dog
locked
(swallows key)
Nah - but I had the he4 and the he5 - the six should have followed
Top tip in grids like this - try the more than (or person who does) ending on EVERYTHING
I have one of those dogs, a red He6
(sneaks syrup of ipecac in Ru's drink)
I have the te4 and the te5 but there is no te6 : D
Ah, but nearly always worth trying ;)
te6/18
This whole addiction to fish slapping of Matty's is much worse than I thought
I meant there is no te6 in the same progression as the he6
oh
a clue for the i ?
h***** and yon....
hello all....
It5/12
Hello everyone

re 8/40 pr 8/50 le 8/55 an 8/55
Thanks, but none of those are coming easily today
an 8/55 - picnic pest + ev5/16
pr7/8 kinda sorta like before someone is voted into office
okay, back to try and knock off a few more of my last 60
le8/55 = le6/27 + 2
thanks, they were hard work even with the clues. Didn't help I didn't have one of the words
Are the re8 and 9 a combo?
no.. re8/9 not combo
ok, i'll keep looking
:)

en6 - starter
oy, not getting it Jax LOL
re9 - go back + picnic pest

Good morning all
56 to go
hey lyn, happy Friday to you
hi Moo
how goes things in the antipodes
pretty good...all the 'imported' tennis players are out of hotels this morning and can enjoy basically a normal life. Otherwise rain and humidity! - must be Summer
and where you are?
stats for single E pls
Still some snow on the ground from Tuesday, other than that a bright sunny day
think it is ec4.6 Teach
e 4/4 teach
ee 4/4teach
yes - what jzw said
you'll hit yourself with a wet fish when you figure it out!
yewws I did
thnx
first co6/30 pls. hi al
hi all, even
Hi peri, all.
co6/30. thou shalt not co6 thy neighbours wife
and g'day and cooee from me
isn't that a five?
duh. co6. hidden, unerhand
no, no, no need to "duh!"
*underhand*
that is the 2nd one rose I need the first co6/30 pls
ah. my bad. sounds like game played on grass, minus a consonant
a flirt, peri. usually see and -ish adj.
could also be someone who flirts
lol... snap carla
51 to go, too many work distractions today :)
morning moolingwa. well here it is. cold and wet. expecting big thunder storm sometime.
I guess technically it's a verb, to flirt
Melbourne?
we had a big thunderstorm night before last!
lol... good guess
only ever been in the airport there
though my cousin lived there some
supposedly if it thunders in winter it will snow 9 days later, so we'll see.
I will let y'all know if it does here ;)
peri, the co6 you need uses the high point tile, and it twists back on itself.
I had a trip from Brisbane to Perth some years back...went via Adelaide the way there, and then back through Melbourne and Sydney on the way back
would love to visit, but more places I probably won't ever get to
did you take the red eye from Perth to Melbourne?
yeah, not by intention tho
my plane was delayed 6 hours or so in Perth
you should try it six weeks pregnant and needing more than my fair share of emesis bags.
44 to go, and 8 of them are 4
sounds delightful
ty rose and carla
loll.... just read my post and thought, now that would be an interesting thing to see.
yw peri
I guess emesis bags is a much fancier way of saying barf bags?
ooh, found the 9
but it loses something without the alliteration
*giggle* yup. that's what we call them in my ex-trade.
yeah, vomit vessels, chuck chalices
regurgitation receptacles
close to needing the PB there :D
I dare say there are as many words for throw-up in english as there is for snow in some inuit languages
already had it if that's what you mean :)
hurl holders
i recall a story of Barrie Humphreys on a plane trip. anyone here care to hear it. BH was/is an Australian comedian. his other persona is Dame Edna Eveage among a few others.
sure
I have heard of Dame Edna
I'm impressed hoke
well BH was on a plane trip and decided to liven things up. he quietly tipped a can of hearty vegetable soup into daid bag, the started to eat it with a spoon.
erk
yuckity yuck
anyone not already feeling ill promptly started throwing up. he was asked never to fly with that airline again..loll
I was once in New Jersey, and I saw several overtan individuals
haha, granny
there are also overtan people in FL, alas, not the ov word I struggled with.
yes only too appropriate :)
another of his characters was Sir Les Patterson.prone to disgusting habits like drooling down the front of his suit.
I suspect there are a number of gamblers who regret their overante
oh yes, I'd forgotten sir les..
that Q really messes up a lot of words
i struggled with this grid. so many phantoms. like eclectic.
yeah there are a lot of -lect- phantoms
time for me to go and see if i can make myself at least look like a human being. had bad night. xx maybe see you at the flip.
later rose, enjoy your morning
well I have ten 7s and the 9, but no 8s yet....sounds good
nm, found an 8
bye, have a good day!
I think I found 3 8's on my own and then struggled with the last one on the list
yeah, I still have 9 Rs to go, suspect there might be some in there
always a bit hit and miss on re words
don't put all your eggs in one basket
I'll bare that in mind :)
still 30 to go over all
which 8 did you find? btw, I accidentally saw the 9 clued but had been trying stuff all around it.
I got an r8
had the related word earlier
surprised at how many I have in the bottom left R and T left
5 off the r, and 4 off the t
ok, I did get another 8 from the list, got lucky on the 3rd
avoided clues so far today
so basically only 1 8 was a real word to me
lol
Ax2, Cx4, Ex1, Gx2, Hx1, Lx1, Px4, Rx9, Tx5 left
I thought you were finished with the G earlier when you were guessing mine
no...think I had 5 left then
the T's were trouble today
terribly so
well my last G was a real word, so I should've gotten it
particularly the bottom left
I have one also left on the right top
pretty sure you should get the H
I can have a pretty good guess on the L
yeah, have been concentrating on the T, probably should branch out a bit
found the L...had the related word already
yep
closed out the H
likewise on that one
I should hope so
closed out the g, relatively easy pair
the P's were a pain. I know what 2 are but can't really guess the other 2.
had the rhyming ones already
my G was the most
so...25 to go
3x4, 4x5, 10x6, 6x7 and 2x8
found an r
found a pair of c's
oh, you still have a lot of R's. from all R tiles?
5 R's off the bottom left, 3 Rs off the right middle
the AU/NZ c's tripped me up
22 left, 8 of them r's
I'm sure that's surprising
found another r
and another one
final 20 - Ax2, Cx2, Ex1, Px4, Rx6 and Tx5
I can guess one A
C's could be anything. E could be an easy one (a particular one I'm thinking of) or one I've never seen. R's and T's are just ridic.
it's the bottom e
ok, neither of my guesses
c's are from the middle
bottom e's are all easy
it was your fave that I was missing
food?
no, that italian one
does that mean the reverse was one of your missing a's?
no, I had that one :)
shame on me
found another r
oh, an easy c I thought I had
rad
cool
I see what you did there
:D
well, I'm turning into a pumpkin
17 to go, but life awaits
maybe a couple more mins
just put a pork tenderloin in the instant pot here
ooh, sounds good
do you add anything other than water?
I use this recipe I found online if you want me to put it here.
have you tried it before?
I usually do the same, look online, pick a recipe and adjust to my taste
yes, have made it a few times. they seem to love it. https://tinyurl.com/y6gskngn
tx, might try it out
I don't put the worcestershire or liquid smoke in because we never have any on hand, but usually sub in a teriyaki marinade. tonight I used Allegro marinade.
well got to go, have a great night
you too
