Well, I'm all vaxxed up now, got my second shot yesterday.
Yay! I had my second on 1st June but I'm still taking at least some precautions (even though everything's opened up here in the UK)
I will be too.
So far my only side effects are a very mild headache and a sore arm.
I had almost no side effects with my second (sore arm was all) - a little ropey after my first though. Which one did you have?
Well, I had Pfizer to start and Moderna was my second.
(Also, would anyone give me a clue for the ON6, please)
Oooh - you're mixing vaccines! I had AZ for both
It's okay to mix those two, they are virtually identical.
Yep, mRNA vaccines
It was good to get out again. I haven't been out that much. I got it done at a pharmacy that is in my local supermarket. I hadn't been in there for 1 1/2 years. I had a chance to go to the bank :)
Excellent - baby steps!
My gym is still not open, but they are getting closer.
Anyway, have to run, the reboot will be happening soon.
Have a great day
May I please have a nudge on the on6, anyone?
Hiiiii
On + a misspelling of to both see something the same way
Tx Molly
Another day, more weird words : D
Thanks - I did manage to monkey it just before you clued it. Another odd word
That just stuns me about this game. People are so stuck that they ask for a clue and then they miraculously "monkey" it just before the clue is given.
I know. It wasn't quite JUST before, but there you go. It's probably people (including me) asking for clues too soon
And also that we don't stop looking ourselves (or at least I don't) even once the clue has been requested
Yum. Just found a delicious fruit infused Spanish beverage. Salut
Hey Soodle! Haven't had that beverage in a while :-)
Hey Une :-) I don't think I'll be sampling it in Spain for a long time. Even though foreign travel has opened up here, I'd be nervous of another lockdown happening whilst I was away from home. Damn you, Covid.
Mornin - some fun words in this grid
Spanish beverage awaiting chat sinners in the PB
we had a tv series-before swearing was accepted- and main character described people he didnt like as evil little scroats-love that word!!
Though it's only JUST not swearing (being short for scrotum) :)
loved Porridge Matty its stood the test of time
Mmm...my ex loved it but I didn't grow up with it so I think some of the humour passed me by. But I'm not a huge sitcom fan full stop
is it me or is it a tricky little one today?
wow, phantom execute
and I said wow because that's all I see when I glance at the bottom
morning all! can I have just stats for the Y?
still on top row here, sorry
(and I don't see it now)
no rush
ya7.44 and 8.60
yikes
well that explains why I didn't find them yet
phantom anagram too
Mine is tangram
I don't even know that word 🤣
May I have a tiny nudge for the ga6, please?
kinda like the guy from beauty and the beast
Tangrams were puzzle pieces used in math.
or fake petrol
guess scam petrol makes more sense
Aaah - thanks! Loved your clue, Carla (and yours, Bea)
All done. Have a lovely day, all
well done, matty.
only 98 left here
Congrats Matty!
Laughing that Matty thought Bea's tangram comment was a clue. : D
yeah, I wasn't sure if I missed something else
well, 46 left. knocked out 8 tiles but still have 3 with zero words. TTFN
this is not an easy grid is it?
Are they ever?
hardly ever Molly.
having trouble with this one
help with the ya7/8 please. hi all. much cooler here today
Turkish swords, peri. goggle
found them in my scrabble dictionary.
ty Bea
yw
phew nbt. had to use morewords for the Y.
it is a tough one today. bbl
hi folks (it reminded me of skywalker)
No connection in my brain with Skywalker and ya7
Yeah, I was waiting for clarification as well
that would be a yo4 wouldnt it. though not in the grid?
OK, Star War-ians out there - what's the connection to the YA word? (s)
no idea. turkish sword reminded me of indiana jones.
I think that one of the spaceships was called by that name?
well once I look the word up I'll let y'all know
the star wars spaceship begins with f
There are lots of starwars spaceships.
the turkish word i cant find either i googled it too
Google types of turkish swords. it there
where's Welki? She started all this
I think maybe she's saying it reminds her of Anakin
got them
ty
4th column a above the t need stats pls for nbt?
OK, guess that's solved - Thx Carla
I am not a Star Wars geek so I have no clue about the starship names
at5.10
google it molly
use the Force, Molly
a break down clue would be good -- good morning everyone
ty bzz
I did Google Anakin Skywalker and ya7 - nothinbg
they aren't related, just similar breakdowns in syllables. I think.
Lots of links to Deviant Art though
we are all very CH 6/30 today :)
that is a good thing italian
nan is asking for a clue yet again
so?
Oh, a breakdown in syllables? So if I say "reminded me of sweater" I should expect you all to get it? : D
so, that was my clue for nan
sorry --- back llater
exactly italian we need something to help us finish this grid lol
which is it molly? are clues too simple? not creative enough? or bad because you didn't get it.
If Nan got the word from that clue I would have fainted. If anyone had got it from that clue I would have fainted.
you want clever clues, mine is very subtle and clever
governess i think it depends on too many factors sometimes simple isnt always the best
Jeeze. I wasn't even talking about a clue. Chill out.
agreed molly
governess, I think we all get a little weary of nan asking for break down clues because she refuses to use google.
my clue was a clue for nan, not a dig. I could have said MLFAN is asking for a clue yet again.
a little kindness never hurt to give.
For the record, Carla was not being snippy. She was giving a clue for ya7
true
That kindness goes both ways.
Indeed Bea
it should
if i feel someone has been wronged, i will speak.
Who was wronged?
nan left. whether intentional or not, i can see why.
What does that have to do with me? I said nothing to Nan
she only does the 7s and 8s i think and then she leaves unless she ties to get a word from each tile too?
And neither did Carla. She was giving a clue for a word.
Gotta go, feel free to discuss.
no need to defend yourselves.
i think she took offense to her asking for a clue again but that was the clue is that right?
If you look at the ya7 you can see why Carla did the yet again clue. This all feels so very familiar.
i have had clues that sounded like they were at me instead of for me .. does that make sense?
I just want to know why I can't find any A's from the 3rd and 4th col.
ooh, there's one
FTR, I think nan just left to do something
have ag's and an's and ne as
and one at so far
and LOL, still no sign of welki!
Yes! She planted the seed and just watching
I know. This is like who did it and ran.
hokie assuming you dont want any stats for the a words i have right?
that's okay, mlfan, still working on 2nd run through
but thx
found 3 now from the middle one
i have 2 from the middle
and one each from 4th column
ok -- had a bunch of texts coming in -- turned out to be pictures the kids took yesterday when we were visiting with them. First time we've seen them in over 2 yea3 months and can't believe how much they have grown in that short time.
nice
cyber how old are they?
Wonderful that you got to see them, nan.
and kids love to just keep growing
the twins are 9 and their sister is 11
3 tiles greyed
the 11 yr old is now taller than her mother
wow that is awesome
11 here!
sheesh
11 grand kids or an 11 yr old grandchild?
25 here.
well done, bea
need 4 T's from the far right. I'm guessing those are big words.
read the chat --- got the ya clue ty carla(although it did seem to be a bit of a dig) - also apologize to bea as I didn't realize I was being such a nuisance asking for clues, and mlf I do finish just about every grid.
hey, I said it was subtle
and no -- I don't like to look stuff up if there is a clue I can solve
but it wasn't a dig, I promise, just used your name since you asked for the clue
why am I trying EX words when I have the E finished?
can't help you there, carla -- just have 2 of them
3 now -- 2 4's and a 5
well, there are 2 EX words FYI, I just already had them
phantom taragon
oh - haven't found the ex's yet - will look
there they are - ty carla
np
back to the top row :)
phantom onager
songry- how you feel when something you hate comes on the radio
we can have turkish whatever but not moroccan oil?
these grids seem to me to be getting more difficult all the time. It's either that or I am losing some of my mental acuity, which I suppose happens to all of us at some point, but I'm not ready for it yet!
I think we've had a run of tough ones, so don't give up on your mental state just yet. unless of course I am already losing some of my mental acuity.
also not ready for it
maybe we need an easy name that proper noun - one of the early video game consoles, very popular in the 80s
9 gramdlods. mlf, ranging in age from 9 to 31
ok, gramdlods is now making me worry about you 🤣

ya + "once more"
omg, finally found an A from 2nd row 4th col
phantom attache
i have two of those hokie, ai4 and ay4
thx for the ay
makes me think of stephen king books
i need 1 t from top left
hm. makes me think of indian nursemaids.
but I know that it's a foreign word
me too, mlfan. no idea.
and 1 G
all 4s and 5s
nothing too weird
(that's for the T)
cyber i didnt even know.. wondered if you had time to finish or almost finish so glad you do:)
fireworks here!
aha, twas tr5
well done, dolly!
i have ta words one is a 5
ty!
any clues needed before I scoot?
there's a tr5
those Y words were absolutely new to me
3 tr words two are 5s and one is a 6
not that I know of, dolly, thanks
i haven't figured them out still - the Y words
yw always good to see you! love your happy spirit!!
mlfan, think LGBQT
have a good day all!!
got the ys man they are something else
idk what to put for "once more" - it isn't again or anew or afresh or repeat or encore
hurshy, my reply to you was a subtle hint
yes they were
put it together with nan's "once more"
hokie i assume i am missing a ta word?
ok thanks
MLFAN, I don't know. my last was tr5 like the T in LGBQT. there is a TA5 that's kinda like a starchy veggie with a different vowel
yeah but i forgot about the other ta words from 4th and 5th columns lol np hokie:)
when we were in San Fran, our GPS kept saying "Golden Gate Bradge" which I thought was the oddest accent for a robot voice. the YA word makes me think of that.
yeah, that TA5 I just mentioned is not even from that T. LOL
there are 5 TA and 1 TR from upper T
so then what is the last one i am missing i need 6 words total..its not the ta8?
no, i told you they are all 4s and 5s from there
the TA8 has to be from far right. I still need 3 there. I knew it was going to be big words,
NTPN! Enterprise chief engineer
scotty
ding ding ding!!!
beam me up!
hokie ahh
no idea on the TA8. is that a plural, anyone that knows?
sora
oops
ha, i thought you knew and i was gonna ask you to clue it

inside Joke Hursh
hurshy there was a thing earlier
so many crusaders...so little time...
like today earlier or longer ago?
do not go back there!
*Anguished cry* I have been wronged! Speak for me!
Ill defend your honor, Molly!
More like the same crusader with a lot of different log on names.
oh really?
I mean I don't have a problem with people taking up for someone for real, but a lot of things are misunderstandings
this morning before you got here, hurshy
i read back.. and I thought Nan handled it beautifully
there's kidding here, but no spite (as far as I know)
some people don't know how to read a joke or a little tease as something harmless.
gosh I wish this grid had a few more vowels
ok i am caught up too
very hard to read intent that is easily conveyed verbally
I just assume everything on the internet is snark and have a thick skin
if it's hard to judge.. then why get all bothered about it and raise a fuss..
you actually can take a good joke hokie and roll with the punches
I'm not new to the internet 😜
... and yes molly a very familiar tone to the comments..
that just seems like a lot of work
ruru, guess my missing G please
do you have gr7
yes
the silo word?
and you have ga6 i believe?
that was like my 5th word found, just jumped out
how about if you cut the last 2 letters off the 7
yes, took a stab at that early on too
aha, that's it! thx
tried it as a 6 but not a 5
phantom: cursor
and cursory
one c left here

Mary Mary quite -----?

there's another co4 with it
anagram

but what's mine??!
cO 7/32: companion

Prince Phillip :)
aha, thanks

havn't found it yet
ON 6/24
not sure if that's 1st or 3rd column
it is first
def. 1st because I don't have it and I finished 3rd col
the middle o is oa4 and ot5
can I have a clue please?
its a Persian wild ass (per google)
LOL, helpful
but that's the one hokie said was a phantom
it must be an alt sp
*refuses to comment on wild asses*
AN plus farming prefix
google gave me onager which I tried this morning and I've tried alt sp
If it's a 6/24, that rules out the G.
he means ON plus farming prefix :D
yes, thx
Oops, never mind.
hi dauber, no it doesn't :)
I divided by 4, not 3!
lol
no idea what farming prefix means but I monkeyed it
tuxetche
D'OH!! Sorry!! Didn't mean to give it away!

i have ai4, ay4
AN 6/30: add old actor Cooper

ag 5/14 works but an with a g in it doesnt
i think an 6 right?
or first
got that oone ty italian
i want it to be attax but it isn't
that's when the IRS gets aggressive and comes after you
LoL !
yeah the upper right A doesn't have an N so cannot be an
it's either another 4 or a 6
another 4 is seeming kind of unlikely
ai 4 maybe?
i have ai4, ay4
can't figure out what the third one from there is
or the nursemaid?
those are the ones i have, yes
- the ones I have too
have the AG4 food thickener ?
yep that's 3rd col
one 4 ends in plural
AHA THAT IS IT

Pesky little A words

SA 6/24: MIs-spelled place to house an airplane

this grid has some alcohol words in the s's that is for sure
that a 4 that ends in a plural is from the top a in the 4th col?
yes
ty -- brit stove
didn't have one of my fav. beverages - ty hurshy
what a strange word tA 8 is
don't have it, but I think taxcut is a perfectly good word -- I would certainly like one
I agree - should be a allowed compound word
does the ta 8 build from a 5?
well I'm glad I tuned back in and finished the a's
The TA is pretty much by itself
then there is the notorious taxcon that the NY attorney general is investigating
to paraphrase hurshy, the ta8 is hairy spiders minus the letters that aren't in the grid
ty -- good clue
actually one of them is in the grid but not in play
down to 8 now

30 here -- had to stop after breakfast and get the gardening done while it was still cool and not smokey
well, the particulates have made it to us. air quality alert today and yesterday. very hazy. my oldest son called this morning and asked me what was going on. said he played basketball yesterday and almost died of not being able to breathe.
and the sun looked incredibly weird last night
as it should at night!
we laughed at the youngest because he said "the sun looks like a big orange ball in the sky". ummmkay
but then we saw it and it did.
bad idea to exercise or stay outside longer than an hour when the air is that smokey
it really was more sunset than actual night, harry 😜
might as well smoke a couple of packs of cigarettes
We had one yesterday, but today it's glorious. Low temps and humidity
agreed bichon. the moon was very coolly orange a couple nghtss ago

Brain Teaser: what do these words have in common?
1. Banana 2. Dresser 3. Grammar 4. Potato 5. Revive 6. Uneven 7. Assess
hmm, they contain palindromes but no idea
Please tell us
I guess that's my answer, if you remove the first letter they are palindromes
well done carla -- couldn't see it
very good, Carla!
(amazing hokie)
aw, thanks, guys
and found my 2 T's too. now RR SS R left
(I was trying to come up with some joke about those words but was stumped)
so even the punning was a brain teaser?
well, i'm really stumped on these last 5 words. may have to list. or break.
went to list at 24 and working my way through
first one already is a head slapper
should have gotten 2nd one too
an 7 and ga 6 left - monkeys died

ga6 is a petrol scam

and the an 7 is a new one for me - must look it up
def says also a boaster or braggart
figures - no results
yep
oh well. we'll find more words tomorrow. TTFN
angaria aŋˈga(a)rēə NOUN a compulsory service exacted by the government, a lord, or the church the forcible seizure of a ship for public service angary a troublesome or vexatious service exacted by a lord of his tenant
