Thank you nan
Clues are up

thanks, nan
Thanks, nan
stats for the lone a please?
nm -- nbt, nbs
leaving 50 for tomorrow -- goodnight everyone
the lone a is AC 4,7
ac 4, 7 - when its dry and you don't put on sh 4,5
Every time it's in the grid I've always wondered why it doesn't allow leat. It's a real word and has been for centuries!
Hi all! I have a ja4 - what in the world am I missing, please?
2 je4 and a je5
any help with the la7 Please?
nm . found it
There are 3 je4's
Only 2
Oh, right. Meant j4's. Sorry. The dog ate my glasses, literally.
Hee hee :-)
And I'd only had those new frames for a couple of months! Pain in the butt!
muss
Well, she said she had the ja4 and asked what she was missing
CRAP...osrry!!!
Sorry!
Does a dog have to go to the vet if it eats glass?
The lenses were plastic, and she just dented and scratched them. She took a small chunk out of the frames, but she's got a pretty strong stomach. If I had vet bills on top of new glasses cost, she might be "going to live on a farm"!!!
Oh that's good. I didn't know dogs ate things like glasses.
In 2 years, this is only the second thing she's destroyed. #1 was a pair of shoes. I think they fell on the floor and she decided to gnaw on them.
Oh God, if shoes on the floor were a target for a dog I would be barefoot in no time.
You just never know with dogs! Thank God she's cute.

Also a cat is from that tile.

hello Zooz!
and thanks
Hello, ((Lynxxx)) Hope yoou are well?
Pretty good - you? got your first jab yet?
No I am way down the order for a jab. Both parents have been vaccinated though so that is good. How about you?
Australia hasn't started yet - still waiting for Phizer shipment. We are making the Astra but hasn't been approved yet
Ah okay. Hope you all get the jab soon and I hope all this mess can be controlled in the end.
We are going OK - just small outbreaks which we seem to be able to get on top of. But I hope so too - maybe by end this year - fingers crossed
Yes I fear that if the poor countries does not get the vaccine and giving it to their people then we will be going round and round in circles. Like you say though fingers crossed.
I am sure United Nations will encourage that of 'richer' countries. I know Australia has placed orders to help out neighbours in our region. I am sure other countries will have too
Goodnight - time for bed for me because all I can see is casette
Sweet sleep, Lynxxx! It was lovely to see you. ⤠humate
damn sorry everyone
Ha!
Needed that...thx
Hello, friends. Trying to warm up here after a long power outage.
yikes. glad you have power again. we just had rain.
Ice is thick on the trees here. I hope we don't lose power again.
me too
Our city is basically shut down due to power outages.
have been through a few ice storms. they are the worst.
I had to percolate coffee on the stove this morning. Thank goodness for gas!
Oh, no, Bea.
We should be okay now that the power is back. The ice is falling off the trees, so hopefully no more will fall.
Ice storm, every homeowner's dismay
ty molly

How much of the beloved white stuff did you get, Scrabs?
no.. molly is a very warm personality
if it does I may venture out but the sidewalks are hilly and I am a coward
if it does I may venture out but the sidewalks are hilly and I am a coward
We have had a wonderful winter with no thaws. Our biggest snowstorm gave us 28 inches in 3 days a few weeks ago.
do you have a plow service, Scrabs?
apparently doubly a coward
Yes, the same guy that mows my lawn in the summer. $350 for the winter.
well, 39 left after first pass. babble break!

Holy mackerel, not a pike, ru!!

oh.. then you'd need a sturgeon for cuts
cod is pretty firm
g1 ru
yeah... cod is moderate for fish slapping.. and you can have fish and chips afterwards
quit carping on my fish choices. You'll roe the day.
Good grief! Took me this long to find my last name!
I get the Diamond tiara of the day.

monkeyed it. but thanks for giving less clue than before. LOL ;)
LOL!
still not getting the bird
It's a dove. Would that have helped?
ends in a thing you wear on your head, jbp
last word = hy6.27, pertaining to rain. Decided to look up definitions in hopes of remembering ones I miss.
and yes, I said head
thanks, carla!
heh heh, you said head.
ty Bea
cu6.27 = first three of to swear and last three = what you wear on your head
oops, off to the PB.. sorry
thanks for giving me the bird, so to speak
finally got the bird. . . I was looking for culver but knew that was wrong
This place is like a mecca for nerds. Word nerds, bird nerds, chemistry nerds, physics nerds.
lol.. time for me to scoot. Stay safe everyone.. see you next time.
wine nerds

Molly, how much ice did you get?
We are all safe. Hopefully we will all stay healthy. Oops, didn't mean to overlook the wine nerds.

it is a balmy minus 4C here today--quite the change from the minus 25-30 we have been having.
man it was cold yesterday..one of those inexplicably cold feeling days. i ran a vaporizer all day and all night in the bedroom, it was so dry.
I still have three layers on from having gone out earlier :)
sorry, crossy, I can't do C-F. LOL sounds horribly cold though.

oh, scarborough
LA 7 clue pls?
https://tinyurl.com/2mygzt48
well you probably went through Bangor if you went to Bar Harbor
a common baby shower gift, mlfan
outfits and equipment for a newborn
sounds like french for a small lie down
yes, not a super large state and bar harbor is kinda at the end, so I was thinking probably so
Well Bar Harbor and Bangor are part of what they call downeast Maine
the main road from the interstate to Bar Habor goes through Bangor
Took the ferry from Bar Harbor over to Nova Scotia
is it a compound word?
Yeah, I thought that la7 was a commonly known word. I guess not by everyone.
we went to a restaurant that had a menu item "ba haba wings" and mr. homie ordered them in a way that made the youngest & I know he didn't "get it" and started laughing hysterically.
heh
Hi all. What are ba haba wings???????
Wings in Bar Harbor, ME, so ba haba is the way they pronounce it
can't get thar from har
Ooooooohhhhh i grty
oh i get it.........very good!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have been to acadia. Gorgeous.
no idea on this word
I am missing the A word for fourth column A. Any clues or stats? Ty

it is ac4/7, kind chemistry looking
wanted to go out to one of the islands to see the puffins, but just didn't have time
Ty.
Got it. Ty.
this baby word i have no idea
mlfan, do you know another word for a puppet, marion*****? same ending
Also missing gthe 8 and 8. Clues and stats welcome. Ty.
assume you mean the 9...in which case, you may need to go back to school
and meet people you're in school with
the 8 is a plural of an animal
got it
Animal in the grid? Ty. Need the stat please.
i think its the same word i was thinking of but spelled wrong in my brain
be speedy about it
Stat for the 9 i mean. Ty
see if you can spot it
cl 9/66
its a compound word
some of these -y words are lame
An animal has cl***, a 5. Not sure what the story is for an animal though. Is the animal named with this as part of it?
i only have two of them mool
nope
the 8 is an animal, the 9 relates to school
Or is the animal term after the cl** word? Confused.
animal off a different c :)
cl is for the 9
ch7/8, cl9
Is the ch 7 the animal? Very confused now........
yes
and the 8 is the pl
Ok lets just speak of the 9: cl. Is the cl an animal? Or not? Curious.
No mkg not the same words
ch is animal
cl think of school
not really, but humans are animals
lol hokie
mkg, who do you go to school with?
Ty. Got it. Great clue carla.
Ty for the 9.
i was trying not to make it too easy
Now for the 8. Is that the animal?
scroll back in chat mkg
Got the 8! Plural of the 7world! Ty ty. I thought the 9 was plural of the 8. So that is what confused me. Ty. Got them now. Great clues guys.
I am all set with greyed 7 and 8 and 9. Ty.
so you have both now?
Yes i have both. Ty.
A lot of restaurants around here have clam chowdah on their menus

i havent had chowdah in a long time! i bet it was yummy
Sammy crossy clued it as cuss toque
atl, compound word - people you are in school with
