Very Excellent Mael. You win a week's worth of Ballet Lessons, so you could learn to spin!

I'm here til Thursday! Thanks!
what kind of infernal word start with bh?
it must be bh and plural, right? because I can't think of anything else
is there a def?
I haven't looked for one yet

I think it is SE Asian

The definition I looked up said Indian. Morning all.
The Cs are a nightmare
Mornin, Molly
and all
Molly, have you been able to get gas?
Yes, and most of the stations around here are okay with no lines
bea!
Carla!
mr. homie just went out in search of gas.
It is supposed to start getting better.
he found one near us that supposedly had it on that gasbuddy website
When I was in Raleigh last week, the places that had it where filled with lawn care companies filling multiple gas cans.
it's still very hard to come by in Charlotte area right now
I saw some pictures of some crazy hoarding going on, not by lawn care companies.
Was one of them a woman filling a plastic shopping bag with gas?
he's back, said he got some but it was really busy there.
I saw one with the back of an SUV full of clear plastic lawn bags full.
That is illegal. I hope they find those people and fine them.
How stupid do you have to be to put gasoline in plastic bags?
yeah, craziness. I've also seen 2 pics of wrecks/cars burning because of all the gas transported in them
There is a popular photo going around of several clear plastic bags, full of fuel, in the trunk of a car. That picture is actually from 2019. But still a really dangerous and bad thing to do. Here is the link:https://nbc-2.com/news/2021/05/12\n/fact-check-viral-twitter-photo-of-pla\nstic-bags-full-of-gas-was-taken-in-201\n9/
pretty stupid. also I saw a tweet where a girl put diesel in her car because that was all that was left and she thought it would just make it louder. it's pretty scary how many stupid people there are.
Scared people do crazy things
wow, how that link didn't blow up the chat box, I don't know.
People with hybrids and ecars are laughing.
that is not the same pic I saw, so someone else did it!
well, this girl that used diesel put it in a prius, sukee!
Yikes
And she is smart enough to drive? lol
I know!
Oh, she is probably not smart enough to drive well.
For a change of discussion, I am learning French through Duolingo. You can use it for free or there is a pay option. I have learned more French in a week and the proper way to use it than years of high school french.
They have a lot of other languages to learn too, even Irish.
interesting. I have tried a different course and Babbel for Spanish. can read it okay, just can't do conversations. it's so fast.
I should really learn some more Gaelic. I will give it a try, thanks.
I'm giving it a go in Japanese ;)
I will look at that.
I'm taking it so I can read French, I'm not worried about speaking it :)
I should Scot to up my game here
Cool MotherOwl
Oh, yes Spanish people speake WAAAY too fast for us poor learners ;) And if you say "please slow down", they slow down, for about oine whole sentence ;)
I just love languages <3
mas despacio, por favor
My problem in French, like it always has been is the gender of the nouns :)
a mom from my son's soccer team offered to help with conversation and the first (and only) time I tried I panicked and froze up.
I remember when I was in Paris, I was afraid to speak the very little French I knew.
oh, and my dad was fluent in spanish as he was once a spanish teacher, but I never had him help me practice
I gladly speak a lot of langiúages imperfectly - may be the way to learn, and at least most people try to undeerstand you if you giove it an honest try.
Oh, why didn't you, Hookie? That was a great opportunity!
I know.
I'm off for now, gla
adios
au revoir
But then, I do understand you. My father-in-law is perfect in German, and I do not ask him for help ;)
farvel
gooses, g5, mooses, meese <-- from one of donald duck's nephews in an old disney comic, and even funnier now as i just realized it's a duck talking about a goose
Oh great, now I am having to look chat words up
really, molly? I just assume farvel is goodbye
Yeah, but I wanted to know in what language
danish?
Norwegian
Danish and yes means goodbye, sorry the phone rang
looks like both
Weird. Google says Norwegian
Never trust Google translate ;)
my google said danish but when I scrolled down a few saw some results that said norwegian
I would think MO would know her own language...
but yes many Norwegian words are the same as the Danish ones, some are spelled a bit differently. I can read Norwegian wiht very littel difficulty. Without ever having learned it.
I need to work on my english. just reread my post.
I'm getting that it is both Danish and Norwegian, oh well
:D
well since MO is from Denmark, I just made an assumption :D
I need to teach my keyboard proper English it seems ;) It cannot spell properly.
Sound assumption, Hooie.
Sound assumption, Hooie.
I once heard that if you're in doubt about someone's native langiuage, kick their shins. They tent to swear in tehir native language.

Aha, I was trying to use both Gs when I need to use both Es. TY.
np
def would not have gotten that BH word. did you actually know that, bea?
Hookie, I can't get that element, care to elaborate? is it c something?
Dr Marie Cu***.
yes, the french woman, Marie C
I thought the element was C***um? named after thoes two, But I am not good at chemistry ;)
THanks
I don't think it is an element but a unit of measure.
hello
oh, that might be right, the cu5 might be a unit of something
howdy mlfan
HEllo.
HEllo.
Good morning, MLFAN.

Is there a stroy behind your icon, Ruru? Looks a bit creepy.
Story*
a bit?!
:D there is a story.. but I need to not say anything
Ah okay my friend. I will leave it there.
hmm. intriguing
I hope your trip you had to do recently, Rur, went as best as you could of hoped for.
it was ok zooz.. thank you.. sad day, but we all got through it. I wish I could email you the funniest thing of the day with my mother.
did someone die, ruru?
did you speak to her, ru?
Just glad by that statement that you had the last laugh. Good for you mate.
yeah peri.. my brother passed away after a long illness
I am sorry to hear that ruru
I'm so sorry for your loss, ruru
Sorry for your family's loss Ruru
yes hokie.. two short sentences.. she didn't recognize me and asked my SIL who that man was sitting next to my brother's sons... My SIL said to her.. that's your other son
sties
oh my...
ugh - sorry
thanks for the condolences everyone
Wow just wow!
oh my
the best part zooz is that I took my nephews and their mom out to lunch to talk and regroup and whenever someone would get up and leave the table and come back we'd all say " Do we know you?" and have a big laugh
We had a moment like that when we took my mom to her sisters funeral. It was heartbreaking.
I'm glad you could find some humor in it <3
If I could buy you a drink, Ruru I would. And I would toast you for turning out to be a very decent man indeed.
I can find humor in just about anything.. especially with my messed up family
glad you could laugh
yes, any golden retriever lover is a decent man in my book. ;)
thanks zooz.
so true hokie
good morning everyone.
howdy nan
So very sorry for your loss, ru
thank you nan
Hello, Nan.
Sorry for the loss of your brother, ru, and for whatever you've had to endure with your parental unit.
thanks PJ... some people luck out and get loving families and others don't. I luckily escaped mine at a young age and had my own life.
Good for you, ru. Someone once told me, when life hands you a lemon, give the damn thing back and go find some better fruit. Sounds like you did!
Excellent advice. Screw the lemonade.
I just tried shoeist haha! I think I am losing the plot!
Woot FW! Have a good day all :)
LOL, if it makes you feel better, I have tried some odd -ists today
Congrats, Wendrie!
well done, wendrie!
i tried eggish zooz..
I totally would have tried that had I seen it
That advice is right up there with "if a man ever says I don't deserve you,...pat him on the head, tell him he's right and get as far away from him as you can"
I did try eggos just in case
eggos are narcissistic people who are cracked
leggo my eggo hokie

hi cyber ty
well, I'm not much better off after 2nd pass. 39 left, but a fairly high WPT (words per tile) of 3.5. need 6+ on T, S, & C
this board is a lot harder than those lately
ok, if you're saying that, it's bad
this board is just strange
but yeah, can't even imagine how I'm still missing that many on those 3 tiles.
70 left after my first pass --- not finding anything for the corner e though
eg5/6
one of them is eg4
39 here .. but a lot harder
the grid that is
ooh, I am tied with ru. this is bad.

heading to the list.. this grid has beaten me down
interesting that we can have topos but no gigios
(old ed sullivan reference for the younger players here)
34 here but on a call. will probably break and try to find more.
going to have breakfast and another look with fresh eyes before listing, so will congratulate you on your finish in advance ru :)
i cannot seem to see any long words...
they are very hidden for sure to
good morning
good morning to you too
boy did I miss a bunch of easy words (smacks head)
oh my, just found a 7
last night i blamed it on the hour and the wine. so plenty left to find
i had a lovely rose at outdoor gathering last night. i ond;t know why people are so anti rose. it was not sweet, just right, and smelled lovely
I love dry rose.. drink it all the time
can't describe. to me, just right. when i read wine reviews, they seem to..pretnetious.
this was meiomi.
with warm weather Rose is the perfect wine.. goes with everything
i think it's perfect for summer gatherings. the setting was just lovely, bluff ovelooking the delawre. word is leonardo di caprio has a house on the PA side, upriver from erwinna
i can never figure out why all these movie stars blow millions on multiple properties all over the world.
i guess because they can... most of those homes are vacant for most of the year..
real estate is a good investment. the delaware and bucks county has always been a place for summer homes of the NYC entertainment crowd, especially theatre
glad you are still here ru -- son is shooting a commercial in Osoyoos and wants to know if the food at Burrowing Owl is any good -- we could vouch for the wine but haven't eaten there.
lol i always wonder, how can you spend all that money? then i met someone who spent it as soon as he got it.
i don't know about the food there. maybe go to a review site.. I do like their Merlot and Pinot Gris.. both delicious and probably some of the best wines of the region
ok -- film director and his assisstants were looking to do some wine tasting and lunch on their way back to the airport this morning.
have you ever had the Foxglove wines
it'd be worth a try.. the owner is really rich and apparently has good taste :D
no -- there are so many new wineries in the valley - where are they located?
Hubby likes a "meaty" red which is hard to find this far north and I have my favoourite white producers - Sumac Ridge and See Ya Later Ranch
sorry Foxtrot .. they are on the naramanta (Sp?) bench
what rose do you recommend now?
Naramata -haven't been there in a while
haven't been travelling at all for the last year.
if you liked the meiomi TO. that does have a touch of residual sugar..
interesting. i did not sense that but do like desserts. can't tolerate tannin. yet it was not as sweet as fruit wines my workmates like.
one of my faves is Domaine Fonsainte from France (Corbieres).. it's about $15 bucks.. it's always pretty good and pretty dry. it needs to go with food.
Ru which wines do you recommmend from Foxtrot?
that is very reasonable. i remember the lat time you recommended, y this time of year the wine was no longer available. here.
the chardonnay and the Pinot Noir nan.. both really really good
yes - just looked the winery up on line. I see they make a rose as well
all the 2020 Roses are now showing up TO.. importers had to wait for the Trump Tariffs to go away first.
I also love a really dry Rose From Domaine Piron a Beaujolais Rose 2020.. (19 is good too) about $14
I will have to see if we can find it here -- I see it is a boutique winery, so hopefully is some of the specialty wine shops.
it's very delicate and rose petal-y and crisp and refreshing.
I'm not sure on the RS for the Meiomi TO.. the Meiomi Pinot has 6-7 gpl of Sugar so I assumed the Rose would have some level of RS
i can't seem to find anything about how much sugar yet
Wouldn't it be nice if every wine producing area would climb on board with a standard sweetness scale. Ours goes from 00 (chianti) to 10 (ice wine)
ah.. i went to their website and it does have RS.. but probably balanced with high acidity so it seemed drier to you TO
can't find any O words.. are they normal ones? clue for 1 or 2 please
og/ is a curved molding and pl
4/6
they are all ones we've had several times before, cos
ty wandered off. time to garden. lots pf plants but no plan
could you please tell me what to google for the other? the domaine de fonsainte? just rose under that brand?
hi bichon
hi cosmo

clue
in7 - cuts (like a tooth)
hi dan ty
hi MLF yw. as7 clue?
that sounds ominous, sammy - are you leaving the game for some reason? You are well, I hope
i dont have the as7 either sorry
as7 - a plus a word meaning severe, perhaps relating to making/keepin rules.
as 7-8: a + teacher or parent who demands absolute obedience is s 6
hi haz!
hi haz
Hello all. Getting a late start with the grid today.
ty cybernan and lickety and all cluers - firewords!
grats dan
no idea on the as7
hi haz
does it start with ***eroid?
No. If you put a di in front, you'd have an area of town.
i will get back to that one.. maybe
mlf - parents won't let you go anywhere or do anything and have all sort of rules -- they are very s6 -- put an a infront of that
re8 would be to limit or prevent if it were in the grid instead of as7
got it
I didn't even have the S, thanks all
ne 5 clue pls?
hokie have you gotten any rain today?
no, it was super cloudy but the sun's been out about 45 min

ty haz
Glad you got it, nan.

I don't see, at the moment, the eg6 that comes from the corner E (I have the eg5)....any nudges...
Add a vowel to the end.
got the other eg6, thx haz
it's the stuff that comes out matty
somehow I still need 6 C's
Thank you!
I still need five 6s...
No, sorry. It's five Cs I need. I have a lot of 6s to find...12 of them to be precise
just need the 2 cu 7's
I don't have any cu7
Nor me!
found one - a plural of a 5
First cu7/36 - Add a vowel to the end of cu6/24
hmm, I must be missing that 5
the first cu 7 follows oddities
ah - monkeyed it
got that one, thx haz
have seen that word, but forgot about it
still don't see a cu5 that you can make a 7
ok, got them!
slice + conjugation of to be, then plural
good clue cyber
And off I go to the kitchen - happy babbling!

Yep, two of them BH 7/40 and BH 8/55
bea had a clue at 6:52ish
thanks carla I'll check that
To me it rhymes with a slang term for best friend.
got them...still have no idea what they mean though
don't expect it to be anything you've ever seen before. and no def. on dictionary or merriam webster
I looked it up, Indian water carrier
of course that should be on enable
Geez, I'm not even half way yet

Eat very frozen purple grapes. higs
No his. But frozen grapes- yes.
What am I saying? Don't try to figure out.
is this a clue of some sort?
have you ever put washed grapes in a ziploc with grape kool-aid and then shook it up and then frozen them? so good.
kool-aid powder, not with liquid added
I think I shall just take your word for it Carla! :D
Oh man, I will take her word for it too,
pshaw
don't think I realized Boss * from Dukes of Hazzard was a word. still took me way too long with the list to see that.
Just checked my Rs and it said I had 9/10 so I counted the ones i got in my word found list and it said ten. did a refresh and one of the Rs disappeared so had to add it in again. So annoying when that happens.
Now it is time for me to retire for the evening. Happy babbling everyone!
