Dr. Seuss! My favorite!
Is the 9 from the 7? Please Thanks
Rose, are you still here? I need you.......thannks
hey peach. here i am. xx
Are you doing well?
di9. plural form of what happens when you take a fluid tablet.
Dr. Seusss! The one whose books are being "cancelled" by the woke fold
folk
i am so much better darling. motivation is staring to kick in again. have been gardening again.
Are you OK?
That is so good to hear. Thanks for the clue.
off the oxycodone completely. trundling along on high dose tyelenol.
Aw, Babe, I am so proud of you.
rared
oops, free clue
hi rose- so glad gapeach needed the clue - Ilm not used to seeing you so late. I'm off to work. Delighted to know you are trundling. g'night or day, whatever
yeah, waist down is terrific. torn biceps tendon just about healed with no surgical intervention. hence the gardening. just another six roses to go. have pruned two ramblers, and low spreading one, and my cecil brunner tea-rose. Don went into battle with that one and won...loll. it's now sulking on the other side of our yard. trying to clear all around house, ready for painters.
xx jwr.
thanks for the picture of a sulking rose! IHow "no surgical intervention"?
*gives delighted wriggle* found another 8 all on my ownsome.
and XX to you,m'dear
i knew the time difference was negligible. and with surgical intervention, the docs would have tried to fill me up on the oxycodone. so cold packs +++++ it has been.
That's why I don't look at the chat much -- to many clues (and too few good ones like you and ruru and a few others do. It's a rare find for me too, but I strut - which is hard to do sitting down
said cecil brunner is used to being 8-10 feet tall. now only 12 inches. in a new raised bed of its own.
WOW! How long has it taken, Rose:
giggle
**Hugs** to Rose!
not the rose, your healing
it was planted when MIL Mac moved in as she loved roses as much as i did. she died 2013, so that makes it planted about 2005.
then it's a wonderful memory for you
oh, the healing.... it's now about 12 weeks. with an injection under ultrasound at four weeks. another 4 weeks and i should be good again.
coming along nicely without surgery and such. It must be the roses!
you were Always good, rose. Now, as you said, you're getting Better!
{{{{{{KAM}}}}}}}} MY DARLING GIRL.you have been on my mind for so long. i have found THE CLOCK. do you still want it?
bye rose and all -
jwr, shhhhhh..... you'll ruin my reputation saying things like that
bye jwr
kiss (under mask, of course)
or "ta"
or jillibus: poof
Hey Rose!
{{{matty}}} we have to talk about this affair you're having with my husband......lolll so lovely though, you chatting to him. sharing Bizarro is wonderful.
It is so much fun ;) You know, Matilda is one in a couple of weeks - can you believe it?
really ??? no way ! where did the year go ??
I know. She's so gorgeous
I want to see her (and you guys) sooooo badly!
soon honey. once we are all vaxed.
I've had my first; Jeff's had both but, of course, you guys need it too!
Rose, yes, I still want the clock! The wall is still bare.
i am on the second category. trouble is europe held up the delivery of our vaccines. but they are now on their way. plus our melbourne lab is rolling out a million/week.
dear Kam. putting it on my to-do list sweetheart. at the top.
Thanks so much, sweetie! We haven't chatted in SO long!
Thanks so much, sweetie! We haven't chatted in SO long!
Excellent. I am so over all this (though understand, I agree entirely with the vaccine, lockdowns - the UK did great with vaccines and terribly with everything else) - I am just personally tired
we all are matty
California has been doing a terrible job with vaccines. I still don't have mine.
I know. Outdoor dining and non-essential shops open on Monday. I don't care about the shops - I am very much looking forward to a pint
Most people in large cities have been able to get their vax, but rural areas just can't keep up - they advertise the vax is available, but by the time I see the ad, there aren't any available unless I want to drive 50+ miles and hope they're still available.
Well, the US doesn't have a centralised system, really - in Pennsylvania, where my brother lives, you have to look at each individual provider/location to see if there are appointments - there is no central resource
time for me to go. dinner due. love and hugs to all. kam, i will be in touch soon darling. and matty, keep that chin up. i'll have one for you tomorrow....loll
Hi all. Jumping in. I must say we in Israel are vax leaders. They are talking about taking off the mask requirement. Majority of the adult population is either recovered, vaccinated or both. Just had my dance group, First time in a year we could see each other and touch hands.
Actually more like 15 months.
Meanwhile in Palestine....
US residents can us VAMS. https://vams.cdc.gov/ It's not perfect, but does have many of the locations and allows appointments.
Sounds great, Player!
Fantastic grid!
it is a fun grid - only have time to begin it though...
mole
Oops. Good morning everyone. :)
mornin
Morning Crossy & Greyhound. :-)
Hi Soods, IG, crossy
Hey Bich
Got my second shot yesterday
Oh lucky you, Bich. The roll-out here has been very slow - hampered by delays in getting the vaccines into the country. We're being promised a more efficient service in the second quarter of the year.
I've had both
Are you in the US, Jeanius?
Yes, Chicago area
I don't think I'll get my first shot till July.
-
good morning all. I found a di8 but not a di9
alt spelling of the di 8/45
that is the one I have. ty will look
morning all
and I can't find it
mornin
hi mool
Hey IG, peri
what does di 8 pertain to?
separation of two vowels into two syllables
plural?
yes
I need help with the di9
I need help with the di9
d + 3 vowels
insert another vowel between the virst two
thanks
two hundred down.. tough grid
monkeys still not finding the di8
I just started and have struggled to find 9 s's. now with ru calling it tough, maybe I should just quit. ;)
barrel
sorry
I know, when the Rainman of Babble says a grid is tough, I am like "why bother"?
:D dorens
exactly
Lots fun words, tho
true
di9 ends almost like the chocolate peanut butter candy
I thought Dorens was just loading beer into the PB
definitely fun. I'm down to 90 and have to leave. Having frineds for lunch. Here. In my house!
it'd be a barrel of wine though molly
I read the definition of that di9 and it made my head hurt
I hope they taste good
(sorry for typos, sliced my thumb last night on a manadoline. true about the wine, ru
I found a di8 by trying bea's clue
mu friends are all quite delicious carla.
i am afraid of mandolins
mandoline?
Add another vowel at the beginning to get the 9, Carla.
they're less scary than fiddles
i like my finger tips where they are
you should be. it comes with a fingerguard. I stupidly decided i didn't need it for a few radishes.
yikes
i can slice pretty thin with a sharp fileting knife.. i have avoided mandolins
thx bea
took 30mminutes for the bleeding to stop. all things considered i'm pretty lucky. And it's been sitting in my drawer for a while. too bad i decided to usse it last night
almost spit out my coffee because i pictured your fingertip sitting in the drawer
sorry doren.. sounds painful
hope it heals soon!
well, i'm off to finish the radishes. WITH the fingerguard this time. it's not too bad now, ru, last night was ddreadful. thanks for the good laugh carla. fiinger is intact!
good to hear
Good morning, all. Dorens turned her mandoline into a guillotine.
she was giving tips on cooking for hokie
hey hoke
morning judi
I have avoided mandolines for just this reason.
moo!
had early call this morning so started early
Now I'm picturing Dan Ackroyd doing that French Chef bit where he's bleeding all over the place
well, ru has declared this a tough one so molly and I thought about running away from it
isn't he doing Julia Child?
i hate that first minute after you realize what you've done
well got through my first 194 words
Yes, but the character was called The French Chef
ah
I want to know what the hell happened with A2Z Wordfinder. They changed their format and now I can't look up anything. Bastards!
I have found 44 words. only 277 left!
yeah, it's horrible now
i know >... I hate it too judi
you have to click on index and then on the right it brings up the menu
I just don't go there
Hi all.
Any clues for the 9? Thanks.
sure is a lot of B's in this
This proves the old adage, if it ain't broke, don't fix it
I have a DE 8, not a di.
(knew that was coming).. clued below mkg
one time my youngest was like 13 or 14 and I decided he could cut his own orange into slices. he agreed and then immediately sliced into his finger.
I will post the daily "read over the chat for clues"
omg, you had to point out the 51 b's! I was blissfully ignorant.
And I will repeat it, Molly...
197 left. I quit. See y'all tomorrow.
100 left
Should have been 52 B's
I will say the first word I saw when I got here was a ba6
I have 29 B's
felt like a drink already?
I have 5 but I'm still on first row technically
that was it, moo
I have 38 B's so far
just a wild guess :)
38 b's here.. but running out of things to try
I have grayed 2 tiles :D
39
40 :D
too many duplicate letters in this grid
dang I feel like I need to skip down to B
Some of the B's are ridicuolous
they usually are
just b's tho....all the rest are normal ;)
Sorry to say not understanding the clues. Darn. Di 8 and 9 right?
they look like they might sound like journals teenage gollum would write in
I have no di words and dont see them.
I just monkeyed the 9! Wow. Amazing. It is a medical term i think.
I knew you could do it
Ty carla. I doubted it. But cant find the di 7 . Oh well. Still trying to get half way and nbt.
up to 41 B's
I found 31 and then went back to the 2nd row
it's the tile I have the most left on
all 51 b's
Wish ibid was a word. Oh well.
well, probably me too, since I have 18 left :D
you completed your B's ru?
ru, are you smug?
Ruru you have all 51? Wonderful.
now I am .. yes :D
Good going ruru
rurusmugs
hello

hey ML
I think it's techincally an abbreviation, not that enable doesnt take plenty of those
morning mlfan
morning hokie
we use a lot of abbreviations as words
even some acronyms
what is rasta? I feel like I missed a post
whew first column greyed
good morning!
It certainly feels like a word to me, yes. As good as mayo for sure
found a 8
hello dolly!
mkg was groaning about ibid
Great mlfan
ah, I forgot
ty mkg
I wonder if i know how to groan.............hmmmm
I will be smug as well.
lol, nice bea
Great going bea!
Dens
Oops sorry
I love when "men" is in the grid so we can see which ones enable takes and which ones it doesn't, like deermen.
or bedmen
bedmen
or beardmen
snap ru!
you owe me a coke rasta
Next time I head to Santo Rosa ru!
this middle e has too many e's around it
you noticed that too hokie?lol
just went on a roll and found 4 of them
I can't believe no one said "Well, hello dolly"
not so bird brained after all then
I am missing that bottom corner i .......just not seeing any in words and cant see others either.
awww thank you Molly!!
am I chopped liver, molly?
the two I have are not common mkg
No, I mean after you said "hello Dolly" (it's the song)
LOL
I was singing the song when I typed it
It's so nice to have you back where you belong...Dolly probably knows it because people probably sing it to her as much as people sing Good Golly Miss Molly to me
i need stats for the 4th column e the one under the u please?
LOL you girls are making me chuckle
en5/6/6
they're all the same stem ML...come off an en5
en5.12

ok
nbt
em4.6
57 to go, need to go do a couple of things
still 151 left here, geez louise
lol
155 here
ra
3 tiles gray!
Sorry !!!!
the word i thought of for th9 isnt in the grid but doesnt quite go with the clue given inearlier chat
DI 9 sorry
found a8
an 8 or A8?
Did you find the di8?
bzz yes i found di 8 thinking it as going ot be the di9
Add another vowel for the 9
at the end?
4th gray tile - but all the tiles I've grayed just have 3 words :D
No at the beginning
i have 2 greyed
aha, found that last E from the 5 in the middle
finally got it ty hokie
for the e? or are you confusing me & bea for the di?
'cause I don't think I did anything
R's gray...16 left.
has anyone found any words ending in loch ****?
yes
nice, bea. I still need a lot of R's
yes, I have one
ty bzz
well, mlfan, I haven't looked for any, but I guess now I will.
And the other ending meaning minus
ty rasta
havent found any yet but was curious
found one
remless - without sleep
OM6 clue pls?
the om4 apparently can be used as a verb
haven't made it down there yet
think Damiened
thanks dauber, weird tense
who is damiened?
there is a movie called the om4 with a character named damien
so, look at the clue again
ogt it
got
you can pt that noun but not be4 (a little hill on a trail or something)
funny, when you click the def of be4, they show it also as a verb and use pt in the sentence. good one, enable.
i have 2 be 4's
I have 6, but only 1 means what I said :D
oh
You have all the be4's Carla.
nice, I guess. still need 13 b's
And I have all tiles gray. Until next time...
impressive, adios!
bzz you finished?
or should I say hasta manana
i found a few more re words
I still need 15 + 2 R's. so now R is the tile I lack the most on
congrats hokie
lol, for what? I have accomplished nothing here today! :D
one tile with the most lacking out of all of them?
i have 4 tiles greyed
oh, ok
nice. I have 6 now, but still 87 words left
ðŸ‘
hi all
may UI have a clue for the corner i, please?
in5/7 - maybe to supply with guns?
ib6
ty hokie
ty!
is ib6 a normal word?
not that i know of
in the same book or chapter
thats what google said
np jhp
why do we need a word for that?
to help clear the tile?
that's prolly not what you meant tho, carla
thats about it lol
To make it easier and more efficient when writing footnotes and other citations.
hokie we have a lot of weird words in this grid everyday almost
my phantom: enema. And this means I need coffee.
The abbreviation of the ib6 is a perfectly common word in scholarly books and articles.
just used a reverse dictionary, thx. and I guess you are right, vicuna
i had only ever seen it in the abbreviated form
I suppose that is what mkg was complaining about earlier
I obviously don't read a lot of scholarly books and articles :D
gtg will be back
bye mlfan
ok, just have one E left on the bottom for the whole bottom row
Yeah Carla, I can't say I read scholarly books and articles either
:D
Although I did learn the abbreviated term when I learned to write footnotes for stupid papers in high school
I don't remember that at all
not you, but me ;)
well, this is a slog. 68 left. I don't know about ru and bea. did they really finish without a list? they never say. people shouldn't know that many words. ;)
good moring everyone
hey nan, about to throw in the towel for a while here
61 here
still have 157 to go
92 here....
just found 4 a's
now the B is my biggest number of missing now
still haven't found the lone e nor the 9
I don't have the lone E either. the 9 is di9
made it to 61. taking a break now.
can't see past the dimsum that isn't there
and even it is two words I think -- dim sum
rehi
maybe I should go and have something to eat
back to try and knock off some of these last 57
checking back in while winston eats...do you have the lone E, moo?
yes
it's a 4 letter
stats please mool?
es4/4

double duh
:)
my grid today -- real name is in there
only one letter of my real name is in there today :)

yep
oh, there's the nine
haven't spotted it yet -- biggest di I have is a 6
yeah, not a common word at all
well if you need a clue, let me know
i am back..

I like when that happens
and the mistype find is also a fave

oh, now I found an 8
its especially fun when the words are 7 letters
I'll say
i have 3 of the 8s
up to 9 eights now
have 24 of the 7s now...been a slog
I have 8 8's and 16 7's
i am slower then you
ok, BBL. still 60. :D
I may be more distracted than you ML :)
distracted?
yeah, on a work call
ohh poor thing

Ai6. Male helpers
i have 3 ai5's
lol exactly .. another word i didnt think would work
I have 5 ai5s
oh - ty une
:-)
does the di 9 have anything to do with the crown?
nope
sounds like you have "the runs" while getting kidney function treatment
29
that gave me a couple of letter combos that were not accepted -- maybe after I list, I will see it
*kind of liked diarresus though
phew! fireworks!
grats dolly -- stuggling to find one more before I list
ty nan
and there it is
any clues needed before I scoot? this is a biggie
hello again
just listed dolly - too many to go but ty
same here cyber too many to find
yvw have a fun day babblers!
you too
be 7 and 8 please?
found the 7
just need the be 8 now
found it
I'm still looking for the BE7 and 8.
the 7 I have is a lady in the circus
rehi!
de 7/36 following the land title please?
be 7-8: what you sleep in + vowel + guys For the 8 put an extra letter in the middle.
Thank you, nan.
yw anyone have tht de 7/36 that falls between the land title and land titles?
got it, thanks nan, and thanks hokie too. The 7/8 means someone who prays for your soul...I hope they're helping us with this puzzle.
no, nan but I'll look
is the 8 a pl?
nan, it's more so
yes...it's kind of an emphasis of the land title word
odd word but we've had it before
mlfan17 no it's not a plural, it's an alternate spelling
the be 7/44 i have is not letting me pl it
mlfan, the be8 is 1st syllable plural
ohh
but technically the word it ends in is plural ;)
alternate spelling?
ty joy
tx for the be7/8 nan...not one I knew...at least not the 8, may have come across the 7 before
I don't want to open up the list just yet so can someone give me the stats for the 9?
well, dictionary doesn't know the 7 or 8
di
the dictionary is not very good IMO...I wish it linked to Merriam Webster instead.
di 9/60
me too, joy.
don't have the di 9 either and wondering if it is a di 7-9 combo because I don't have the 7 that precedes it
ty
oh - no the di 7 is plural crowns
8/9 alternate spellings
looks like an alt sp of di8
The DI6/7 is a horcrux!
you know how those wacky brits like to add vowels in
thanks, didn't have those!
have no idea what a horcrux is
It's from Harry Potter
unless it is some kind of crown
help on the ME6/24? the one after very small
it is a crown, but horcruxes can be anything
Keep wanting to enter bemuse!
ah, hokie, you're an HP fan!
not sure ibuxx, I have 5 me6/24 but don't know very small
stumped on that di 9
of course, joy!
me 5-6: french shit(s)
nan, it ends in the plural form of female sibling
then there are the guys who live under the sea
ibuxx....me 6/24....it's not the me4, it's not the average, it's the me6.....a statistical term....
oh, now I see what "very small" means, yes, I think it is the male make-believe sea creature
don't see that carla -- there are no sisses
yes, but how do make a sis pl, as in crisis
think back to that lone e
I tried that - not working
beginning looks kinda like journals
someone who passes away + the 4
I must be missing a letter in there somewhere
is there a double letter?
for the 8
and then for the 9 add the english spelling
moos' clue for the 8 is good, then add an unnecessary vowel
do double letters
do=no
the definition is a bit self-referential
do or do not :D
now I am really confused -- the 9 and the 8 begin with the same 3 letters? -- are we talking the 8 that follows expired?
di 8...to no longer live + sounds like a kind of monkey but with the ending that has been discussed here....
the 9 just adds a vowel in the third position....
no, the 9's 3rd letter is the unnecessary brit addition
the 9 precedes, the 8 follows
ok - have the 8
focus on the 8
or instead of the monkeys, sounds like a kind of peanut butter cup....
and then the 9 will make sense
erred
GAHHH! sorry
I thought the 9 began with dia because someone mentioned it was like the runs combined with treatments for kidney failure
indeed you did champ ;)
:)
Oh man Carla, if I said that unnecessary brit addition thing people would be wailing
the 9 does, not the 8....
yes, the 9 does start that way...the 8 doesn't tho
it does, nan
lol, molly. I wondered how many times I could say it. it's true though! not necessary!
well if we get into unnecessary letters....phoenetics :)
finally --- ty everyone
fo netics but fee nix
yw....weird words....
I hope we never have that one again because I certainly won't remember it
We got my daughter this book... P is for Pterodactyl
I think we've had the 8 before. somehow I easily monkeyed it this morning
oh that is a great book our grandkids loved it
I just saw a guy miss pterodactyl on Jeopardy the other day
Here you go: https://tinyurl.com/2j9sxkk5
he answered pterosaur but the clue was about an 11 letter word
pterodactylus
just found another run of A's
still need 4
nothing like getting runny As
I need 3 more A's...23 more overall
I was laughing last night because when the host said he wasn't going to say Mozart's full name, I figured he didn't know how to pronounce Amadeus
that's a pretty funny book
yeah, one of my faves
is it still Aaron Rodgers, nan?
yes
jeopardy host? yes
much better than Oz
surely he's heard of amadeus. there was a movie! or am I that much older than him?
oh I think he us much worse than Oz -- just deadpan and he comes across as not being the sharpest knife in the drawer
dr. oz is a snake oil salesman. I didn't see him hosting because I don't want to support that.
well he's a football player, nan ;)
I didn't say I like what he does for a living, but he was a much better host
Guess he has had one concussion too many then carla
I guess it was Mon I watched, and I thought he was good. I also liked Katie Couric but I know some people didn't
hard to replace a legend
yes I liked Katie too
although I guess Aaron Rodgers already knows how to do that
Aaron Rodgers won the 2015 Celebrity Jeopardy....like him better than Dr. Oz, who slurs his words....
Ken was also okay, but he tried to be too much like Alex
at perhaps Katie Couric too for that matter...not sure of her career arc
i liked Ken Jennings the best of the new hosts....
I've heard most people didn't like Ken doing it.
are they just going to keep rotating hosts?
lol
I don't know what the plan is
ugh, 50 left
I think they are rotating in part because of the pandemic....wasn't as easy to get a permanent replacement...
can someone please guess my other E on the bottom so I can gray a row?
22 left
I would like to see Brad Rutter do it, but I don't think he is interested
this is not my day for finding words
Anderson Cooper, Mayim Balik and Bill Whitaker are lined up as hosts....read that....
not sure who bill whitaker is
oh, I've seen him
I think he worked on news shows...
Anderson Cooper has won Jeopardy before....dk about Mayim Balik but I think she has a PhD....
yeah, I think I read 60 Minutes
yeah, she does have some fancy degree
she's probably seen ib6 before, unlike me
in neuroscience...
Perhaps they could Prince Harry a run ;)
lol....
finally finished an M!
now just need 10 B's for first col. LOL.
Harry??? might as well get Sharon Osbourne --- yuck!
or maybe Piers Morgan --- hear he is out of a job!
yuck...
yep
I vote for LeVar Burton
he'd be good...
I think I heard he was interested. he would be good.
He is a contender and I think he would be great.
saw an interview with him recently....
ok, this is officially the worst. still 47. going to do some other things. TTFN.
bye, carla...
i am trying to get down to 80....got to find 9 more words....
just stick everything probable and improbable onto re and you will come up with them!
hah!
Well, I just typed in ten re words and none of them worked so maybe not
found a few words, but not with the re....with the de...
there is a whole block of re's between look at a book again and take up again that I am missing
oh -- duh - found most of them
well i am down to 81....close enough for now...bbl to hopefully finish....bye all....
coming back later for my last 28 as well
I'm having a really hard time with that M in the 4th row. I'm not finding anything but a couple of MO words.
just found the ones that mean a big fight
grrrrrreetings!
Hi hurshy
how's everyone today? i love it when we get a nice juicy grid like this
still 20 left here :)
it's a slog
I love it too although I should be working
300 left here :D
almost there :)
well, got my last 4...19 to go
the second row S is more recalcitrant than the top row Ss
phantoms: serene, serenade
I have one from each of those remaining
and then 2 from the second row one
well now i'm down to 2, 1, and 2, from the S tiles
phantom: museum
museme :)
museeem
got all but two of the M words
still missing one M from each
yeah i was able to finish the left one
there are three 6s to build off social me5
oh yeah
and ariel's dad et al is a nice one from there
I have the left finished...the other 2 still have one on each
missing a bottom i word
me too
17 left...but 14 of them are 6,7,8s
well, found an 8 at least
another 8...two more needed
any clues for the AR7,32?
without upper extremities
hi again
without appendages
hi nan
thanks!
ms
hi luv
I FOUND A WORD
finally got my April quilt sandwich made. I can't sit on the floor for long periods like I used to. I might be 80.
me 7/36 please?
I finally got all the A's and B's! Only the entire rest of the alphabet to go! I'd better go do some work now before I get fired.
wow, well done, joy
no worries carla -- when you are 80 you can't sit on the floor at all
I was afraid of that
that's when you turn the ping pong table or pool table into a quilting table :)
oh, I have both those in the basement. not sure why I didn't think of it before.
I first tried the driveway so I could use the basting spray but it was way too windy, so moved inside and pinned.
sounds like you are all set then.
back to that me 7/36?
don't have, can't find
I need 2 M's from top and 2 from bottom
the 7 comes from the bottom - my last m
ok, looking from there
wow, I don't know
me neither also stuck on the re 6 that follows peruse a book again
put down something to grow grass again?
I am still missing 7 R's
no - before look again
ok, must be missing that, because I have re-book and then look again
yes there is a 6/21 between the two
not seeing any way to do that alphabetically
I know
ah, it's like a US town or city
means grayish green. had no idea
in california is the town/city
thought that was greige
no, greige is gray/beige
and taupe is beige/gray
but don't know that many towns in CA
well, you are closer to CA than me ;)
kinda like what the ocean does at low tide with a couple of letter changes
unless it is in or near the Coachella VAlley I wouldn't have come across it and even then it is a challenge
and I don't think it is redding near where we cross the border
not sure how I know it, I don't even know which part of the state it's in
oh, it's actually an LA neighborhood
it's a long day there, with a freeway running through your yard....
wouldn't know then -- we try to bypass LA
(or so claimed Tom Petty)
I feel like that may be a song lyric
anyone have a different clue?
oh yeah, now I remember. it's a long day, living in re6. that must be how I learned it!
alternate consonants and vowels, cnan
did you see my 3:25 ocean clue?
or how about re + body style of car - last letter
hey hurshy, please guess my E on the bottom row
idk i also am missing an E there, and ALL the E in the second row
ty carla and hurshy
no I had missed the ocean clue
I have finished all E's but that one
Help, please, with the di 9.
it's been heavily clued all day, I'm not sure any of them will particularly help. maybe nan can share what clicked for her.
do you have the di8, dianne?
i have di8 but not 9
9 is unnecessary vowel british style
ahh
I have a di 8 which come a few after the di 9.
can you help me with second row E on the right? i have the 5 on the left E but none of the 3 on the right E
yes -- add an extra letter in the middle of that 8
interesting. I have not seen the list and have 9 and 8 back to back. missing 3 D's there though.
silly hokie, you didn't get di4 and gone to heaven?
they are all connected hurshy. en5/6/6. hijinks en6
en 5,6,6
thanks for those Es
help with me7 pls
lol, nope. it's been a long day
I don't think we ever found it, peri
nan and I were just looking
do we know if it's from the top M or the lowest M?
me 7 -- compost heap
Got it - thanks so much.
per nan, the lowest
7/36
ok, compost not helping me at all
oops sorry that was the mi 7
com...post... heap...
think think, for i have not got that mi7 either
oh, I guessed mi7 earlier but didn't look it up.
wait that can't be, i have an mi7 but it do not look to me like it means compost heap, and there's no more mi to be found
don't have the me 7 either
well, that is what the def says
"a dunghill or refuse heap"
weird
i so thought it was something on a ship
i guess i'm thinking of the mizzen mast maybe?
I know nothing about ships
wondering how many di between the 9 and 8 since Dianne said a few
the mi 6-7 is where the kitchen waste was dumped, suppose it could be a dungheap as well
do you have the di 8 carla?
yes
I'm looking for between the 9 and 8
hurshy just pointed out the di4, but Dianne said "a few"
plural the first syllable
for what?
scratch that
for the 9 add a vowel into the first syllable of the 8
she has the 9
she wants to know what words exist after the 9 but before the 8
I'm looking BETWEEN
i told her about di4 and gone to heaven
and i don't know if there is another one or what
dianne said the 8 comes "a few words after" the 9
I need 2 D's from that one
I'm having strong deja vu
add a vowel into the first syllable of the 8 that hurshy clued
I HAVE THE 9 but thanks
cnan, my dear, i think you should stop trying to help at this point lol
probably
ok -- thought you were looking for the 9
I think I clued the 9 for you earlier and def did for hurshy just a few min ago. LOL
oh - only one word between the two: di 4
made it 40 left!
thank you!
the way these letters are grouped it's so hard to tell what is there and what is not. i think half the words i have found, i have not actually se4 them myself, i just typed them in case they were there
yeah, I've done a lot of that today as well
there is an se 7/28 between the fortuneteller and regards, but just can't find it
make it a female fortuneteller
ty hurshy
and thanks, cause i did not have that either :D
well that's stupid. but was my last S, so cheers
i feel
quite
stuck
doesn't a dermatologist demole people?
just 1 4 left here
ditto
b adden
AND i can't get the song roll out the ba6 out of my head so THAT's just DANDY
nan, what is the me7/36 after?
it follows the guys who live under the sea
oh good grief
i morewordsed it
can you clue it?
me + it ______ to be the case that we are intelligent people, but this grid is making us doubt it
ugh, that one has tripped us up before
because it's stupid and all
now need 1 M and 1 E for 4th col and 5th row
brain anesthetised here - not seeing it
oh - nm - found it
similar to "methinks"
ba
don't remember seeing it before but that doesn't mean anything :)
*!*~*!* thanks for the help
any clues wanted before I leave?
ok so that m has... that one, and the chaotic brawl(s), and the periods (female ones that is)... and...
the mo4 and 5
did you list 7? I think I have all the ones you listed
and... trying to figure out what else comes there is so tricky
3 forms of the female one
yea but only the plural comes from the lower one
i have all 7 but for the life of me i cannot figure out what the 7th is
2 of the brawl and 2 skin. that makes 7 so one of those must be from elsewhere
ah yes
skin??
single period comes from the top
well, brown thing on the skin
ah
or spanish sauce if you'd rather
ok it is anagram of the periods
hagd eveyone - back at the flip :)
it's that me5/6 that also appears in a de7/8 combo
bye nan
could've sworn I tried that earlier
just hit 90% and pretty fed up here
well, got the de7 but not getting the 8
the 8 doesn't show up, the way the letters twist
sorry
yes, but I'm typing all the last letters I can think of
but the me6 does show up
well stop doing that then hokie because it's not there
oh, so there's not a de8 with that 7 you're saying?
that is what i am saying, yes
still need 1 upper D and 3 lower
1-2 here
1 upper M, 1 + 2 right S's, the one E, and the rest are ridiiculous
10 B's, 4 A's, 5 R's, 5 N's
i need scads of things too
hey, found a B!
I think this is one of the most complained about grids in a long time
yeah, why am i still here?
did you get the facial hair and past tense (well, adjective really)
molly, ICYMI, you should look at the chat when nan kept cluing things I wasn't asking for. LOL. good times.
yes, I have those.
I feel sorry for people who feel compelled to finish when grids are this nasty
the B I just found was a villain
yeah she kept recluing the di9 like 3 times with hokie repeatedly saying she had it lol
ah, the villain. i was surprised that one counted!
me too
I was surprised by barny yesterday
just peeked at the list, our E on the bottom is an EM6
oHO
Es Eliminated!
not emless or emness
things that make you go puke
I guess Imma need some help on that
thought that was emetic or something
pukity puke puke pukes
well, if you are puking they give you an em6 basin
and it's the plural of that
Okay, thanks for the heads up. That is a hysterical chat sequence. Carla, want a clue for the di 9? : D
it's the same root word
as what you thought
please
I'm stuck on the last of the three DE7,36s
well i only have two de7/36 so idk if i have it or miss it
the last one I have is the one hurshy was talking about with the me5
mine are makes-sound-less and funny spelling of the land a squire reigns over
i mean i guess it's the original spelling and then it got transmogrified as the english butchered it from the french
I got those two...I'm looking for the one no one seems to have. :(
there is a more so one relating to the owner's slip to your house/land
I have no idea how that is a word but it is
how can something be de7 than something else?
got than one, and the one before it. There's another after it.
the owner's slip? ooh ok
do you know which D it's from?
so the land the squire reigns over is the third of the three.
oh, I thought she said she had that one
she did say that, but i think she was mistaken
de + not you + the beginning of the nasty look with the curled lip
that word is like SO HARD to clue if the person you're cluing doesn't happen to know the definition of it
hmm..I guess I was mistaken.
as i said, i believe it must be the original spelling, from french, of what later became more commonly spelled in english as "domain"
well, thank goodness enable included that
Thanks. I've never heard of it before.
i mean... i know it, i've read it in books, so i don't find it that unreasonable. but i also know not everybody reads the kinds of books i read (aka old ones)
make an effort to remember it now though guys, so i don't have to give such a tortured clue again next time, lol
okay, I went to list at 31 left. took 10 min to find 2, so I'm saving last 29 for later maybe. good luck!
i'm going to the list now at 28
judging by the way all three of my cats dashed to the same place to stare up at the wall, i'm going to say i have a fly or something in here
Better than a restless spirit :D
back...15 to go
that's just the point that i have just hit, mool!
cool
groovy even
mmm, yummy, mu6
not for me thanks
I'll just take the beer by itself
tip of the day: add "adult males" to EVERYTHING
everythingmen?
har har
didn't work...very sad
and i close on a very weird se6/27
oh, but did find one that did...
13 left after first pass of list - not seeing anything... just add males and voila
hmm, not working for my last D
or last 2 N for obvious reasons
Hi all. I am still looking for the i word for bottom corner i. Please send me stat and clues. Ty
strange word...just found it
perhaps would be a slangy way for saying that you went to an auction and participated in it
I was told earlier it's very common in scholarly articles.
I'm not scholarly
but sometimes abbreviated like you all were talking about this morning. are we still here?
me either, that's why I had no idea
well I found it...pure guess tho
Please send stat for the i word bottom corner. Ty.
ib6/30
Ouch. Ty mool. Well dont know where to start with that one.
ib6/30, in5/12, in7/36
go with the clue I said before
also in 5/12 in 7/36
the other two are to take up weapons
I have the three from the i in third row. Bottom row is what i need.
those are all from the bottom
All three of those are 4 letter ones. So not sure what these stats are about
the 3 stats I gave are for bottom i
none of the bottom i's are 4s
Ty carla for the clarification. Wow. Dont know if i can find them. If there are any clues please send them my way. Ty.
moo already sent clues for the in5/7
5:23
just clued all three
just looked up a b7 because I forgot to add males to it
I cannot get these i words. Wow. Back later on.
Wow i got one just now. Ty for the clues.
Dlove the clue it goes with. Cute.
is that the crafty one?
hello. 113 to go here, but I really need a nap.
I hear that
13 to go, not sure I'll get any more
3x5, 6x6, 2x7 and 2x8 remaining
it's those 6s that get me
anyone have the be 8/60?
yeah
it's a 7 with an extra letter in the middle pen
is the 7 in the grid?
yes
it rhymes with another be7
ty...i will work on it...
not a common word any of the 7s or 8
it's the only B i have left...
but the ending is common in today's grid
ah, then you likely will find it with some noodling
i think so...
still have two b's to go
most are regular words....there is a 4/5/6 at the end that start with the same four letters....
hmm
do you mean the be words?
yes....not the same in definition, but the same in structure...
yes, have those
my b's could be any of the three vowels
found them
was a couple of ba's
good...
similar to your clue though :)
11 to go
i still have 50 to go...
S M S D SS D A RR M
oh well, have a great evening pen, hope you get them all
i am missing two Ds.....
thanks, mool....
idea
i am done....wouldn't have finished without a list...
heading out....goodnight all....*waving to the lurkers*....
clue for the NE8?
use ne6 before it, add not west north
thx granny I'll work on that, since I don't have the ne6 either.
ne + new zealand footballer, winston you will probably have to google that.
thx granny!
hello friends
howdy
count for the lone e please?
I think that was a 4,4
thanks. it's good at hiding!
oh gawd ....i am blind. nbt
like a lot of words!
FW! Finally! That was a tough one. Anyone need clues?
huzzah for joy!!!!
ty Trifioso! This one was a lot of work!
i hit nbt, and over halfway, but not nbs - don't have the 9. do have work tomorrow though, so I guess that will have to be enough
I am done.
