12:24 am

yes, I thought it was pretty stupid but I remembered us having it before

12:25 am

I tried it as I was thinking - not a chance in hell !

12:26 am

the words that are on the list and not on the list make you wonder if the list makers were on drugs or something 🤣

12:27 am

the other night I was so mad they wouldn't take petri

12:28 am

arcane biologica but no petri

12:28 am

is that not a proper noun?

12:28 am

I tried it a couple of times. Then I realized it was a proper noun.

12:30 am

well now I know

thanks!

12:59 am

you are all welcome, only just on got cos internet outage in my area, I was having withdrawals,what with being in lockdown and all...LOL

1:00 am

Wow! Lockdown with no internet would be hard. Glad you're back in communication.

1:01 am

stay strong, diz!

yep, that sounds awful

1:02 am

Liz, we have had very strong winds etc. Oh and our lockdown could be until mid Sept,

1:03 am

We had those strong winds over the weekend. We're avoiding lockdown by the skin of our teeth I reckon. A few more cases and I think we'll be joining you in lockdown.

1:03 am

I had my 2nd AZ vaccination today - very happy about that.

that's great!

1:04 am

We go in lockdown in various stages - have just been lifted from 4 to 3

1:05 am

Our 3rd wave is easing off a bit

1:05 am

We've only been in lockdown once - last year for a few weeks. Very lucky really but I'm sure our time will come.

well, I have gotten stuck at 19 left. wayyy past my bedtime so I better try to sleep again. TTFN!

1:05 am

Sleep well.

1:06 am

good night, hoke

oh, found 2 on my way out!

the other 9 is fo9

1:08 am

1:08 am

HI LIZ!!

1:08 am

thanks, Nan

1:09 am

Hi Ro - hows day 1 going?

1:09 am

Flip is at 3 pm here so yes, 2 a day :)

1:09 am

really well... having the two rooms is proving its worth already.. i've just had an excercise bike delivered

1:10 am

Oh wow! That's awesome.

1:10 am

The rooms looked really good - I said to P that it gave you more space to exercise.

1:11 am

yeah...FB has been the greatest thing... I am a member of diff stranded/quarantine groups...and have been gleaning advise for months

1:11 am

that should be advice of course..lol

1:12 am

That must've been so useful. Did you get much sleep or did jet lag hit?

1:14 am

i took a little pill just before bed and got a 7 hour sleep... poor old Den didnt sleep a wink ....so we've both just woken up after a nanna nap////and I think Den might take the drug option tonight.

1:14 am

hire

1:14 am

oh sorry..

1:15 am

That would be a good idea. I really hope that some of the stress has now gone from you both. We shared that for you but can't imagine what it was really like for you.

1:17 am

its been awful... and I really resent the fact that all the joy and excitement that would have been there couldnt be there because of the uncertainty... but its done now... we're here...and once the feeling that we are just on holiday goes... we can deal with the reality...lol

1:18 am

You'll be on holiday until you're settled in your place, even if you are sorting stuff out, so at least you'll some some holiday, I hope. We were holding our breath until we saw those boarding passes.

1:19 am

Heathrow looked chaotic this weekend from photos I saw - school holidays etc.

1:20 am

oh so was and the relief was palpable.... I... Heathrow was definitely busier than I'd seen in all the news...as you say... school holidays....ppl are just desperate to getaway for a holiday... tho I have to say the weather had been brilliant for time we were in London...it was too hot...we were walking in the shade all the time and questioning our decision to move...!!

1:21 am

When it's rainy and snowy in the UK winter, you'll have no regrets :)

1:21 am

No more scraping frost off car windows.

1:21 am

oooh you know it...

1:22 am

i left both my scrapers with Jamie...

1:22 am

He'll need them!! Must've been hard for Den to leave him.

1:25 am

Yeah.... it was...naturally... but he knows J. is ok in terms of work..finances...and he has a gf at the moment... and when travel starts again... we will see him.

1:25 am

Sounds like he's doing OK - and as you say, when travel starts again ...

1:26 am

we're sitting here watching the news trying to get a handle on who all the pollies are

1:27 am

They're all as useless as each other but you're in good company in your hotel!

1:27 am

ooh I knoooowww.... lunch was really good.... maybe its a knock on..

1:28 am

Glad the food is good. Meant to ask - have you got an Aussie phone now or SIM?

1:31 am

Rolin, have you just returned to Oz and are in hotel quarantine?

1:31 am

our plan with the uk co allows us to make calls to aus numbers as if they were local to the uk...and this plan will continue for nearly 3 months while we're here... so no rush to get an aussie number to make calls... but i know its costly to call us from here... but then thats why we have whatsapp or FB calling...or skype for that matter... so we are going to take time to figure out the best deals

1:31 am

dofith.... yes and yes...*s*

1:32 am

Cool - I was going to offer to get you a pay as you go and send it to you.

1:35 am

Welcome home! Interested in all you've had to say. My son and his family (3 young kids) returned from South Africa this time last year - took months to get out and eventually got back via Doha and Amsterdam! They also had 2 rooms - set up a circuit and managed a few kms run every day! Hang in there - no choice!

1:36 am

Sorry, lost first half of message. It was for Rolin.

1:36 am

thx Liz... we have got a couple from the front desk... but when we saw the cost... we thought we needed more research..lol

1:37 am

Oh, there is first half after all.

1:37 am

dofith... i might have seen them on a FB group...lol...how have they settled in since?

1:37 am

OK - I'm outta here now - need a coffee. All best to both of you. Catch you soon.

1:37 am

ok... catch ya later...

1:39 am

They're doing ok now, but are very homesick for SA. They loved it there (about 11 years in Cape Town) - loved the country and the people, made great friends, travelled everywhere etc.

1:41 am

yeah... i lived in the uk for 20 years.... i'm sure i will miss the proximity to everything...but Brexit and then covid put the kybosh on that.

1:46 am

Yes, the rough and the smooth. They are enjoying some aspects of Aussie life - family, of course, and opportunities for the kids, less worry re security etc. They still have their house in CapeTown, and hope to return there one day. Hopefully, you'll find some good reasons to be back here, but it will seem dull for a while. Good luck!

1:47 am

Are you in Qld near Liz?

phantom integer

I love this grid (so far)

dash

and oops

Texas Summer has set in - the low temp this AM is 83

6:59 am

We had a cat by that name in our colony. She was a spayed 8yo which is a pretty ripe age for a feral. She never left our yard. Friday morning, we found her dead after having been attacked by a pack of wild dogs that roam our city.

6:59 am

so sorry to hear that Bea.

6:59 am

hi all

6:59 am

Oh, Bea, I'm so sorry! :-(

7:00 am

thank you, une and peri.

7:04 am

ha

7:08 am

ignore that please

7:25 am

I'm sorry Bea :(

7:27 am

Oh, no, Bea. How sad.

7:28 am

sorry to hear that bzzn

7:29 am

Thank you all.

7:36 am

We buried a bird and a mouse on Friday. MY little nephews were here so we had funerals with burials.

7:39 am

good morning all. sorry about your kitty, bea.

7:40 am

I'm a little freaked out by a pack of wild dogs roaming your neighborhood. are these like coyotes?

7:41 am

What was the cat's name, Bea?

7:42 am

stats for the top i? i need one to nbt

7:42 am

in5/6

7:43 am

No, they are dogs that have been allowed to go feral. They have attacked and killed many cats in the city. They have also attacked dogs on leash being walked by their owners.

7:43 am

yikes! that's insane!

7:43 am

Scrabs, her name was Dash. She was the runt of the litter and was just a "dash" of a thing.

7:44 am

((Dash))

7:45 am

It is Harry. The city can't seem to decide what to do to correct the situation.

7:45 am

So the city doesn't round up these wild dogs?

7:46 am

there is no good solution - but it can't remain as is

7:46 am

They try to trap them, but the dogs avoid the traps.

7:46 am

you can't leave kids in the backyard

7:46 am

And our animal control is very short staffed.

7:48 am

Kids are what I am worried about as well. We have a lot of children that play in the neighborhood.

7:52 am

phew found the 8. nbs, nbt, and 36 to go

7:52 am

Go Harry, go.

7:52 am

8 was a tricky thing

7:52 am

Clue?

7:53 am

he8. more full of irish greenery

7:53 am

I would not have tried that. TY.

7:53 am

I tried it on a whim :)

7:54 am

Dumb word. I would have clued it more like actor Ledger.

7:59 am

30 to go. bbl for more!

8:01 am

Bye HH

8:10 am

Enjoy the day.

8:12 am

Howdy

8:22 am

g'morning, babblers :)

8:22 am

speaking of irish

8:22 am

:)

8:23 am

oh i'm only wannabe irish. i love Celtic cultures, but as far as i know my ancestry is sadly more anglo-saxon or norman

8:23 am

i am in legal reality a US citizen :(

8:24 am

i love british stuff too though

8:26 am

other than the imperialist mentality, which was sadly passed on to the US

8:27 am

there's a lot of that going around, alas

8:27 am

but Ireland must be so gorgeous! I've always wanted to visit

8:27 am

:(

8:28 am

if we had an M we could potentially have gingham!

8:28 am

I thought the same while I was finishing up the Gs!

8:29 am

wow m first word was easy lol

8:36 am

nbt

8:42 am

still missing the bottom I

8:42 am

nbt/nbs

8:42 am

ir 5

8:42 am

ir5.14

8:42 am

The bottom I is a form of the anger word

8:44 am

oh man thanks, I was sure I'd tried that

8:44 am

when I got the t6 next to it

8:45 am

and toering is totally a word, did Enable just skip the 90s? lol

8:45 am

i think it's two words

8:46 am

no, of course, but it's funny to me how English arbitrarily makes compound words or not

8:46 am

like a necktie is not a neck tie and a earring is not an ear ring

8:47 am

yeah, i think maybe toering just looks ... like your mind automatically groups "er" together so then you thing to-ering and get confused

8:47 am

*think

8:48 am

as someone who had to learn it as a second language, english is just all messed up all around

8:48 am

oh wow, what is your first language?

8:48 am

Italian

8:48 am

cool!!

8:49 am

11:37 am

Really more of a holiday, it's French Nan

11:37 am

11:37 am

May I have stats for the lower right i (eye) please, in the corner?

11:38 am

ir5/14

11:38 am

11:38 am

ty - I swear I entered that!

11:38 am

Most asked for word of the day

11:38 am

SIET!!!!

11:39 am

phantom: together

11:39 am

the fe4 is very big on Midsomer Murders, I swear each village is always having one when someone is murdered.

11:40 am

It's amazing anyone is left alive in Midsommer

11:40 am

i can attest that hokie is correct on that

11:40 am

Midsommer, Cabot Cove, very dangerous places to live

11:41 am

I can't believe anyone is still living in either of those places

11:41 am

Father Brown attends a lot of them as well

11:41 am

Sunnydale. Seriously, why hasn't Sunnydale discovered cremation?!

11:42 am

it's funny because regarding Cabot Cove, they had the sense to set a lot of episodes elsewhere since, yeah, a small seaside town in maine isn't going to have so many murders, and yet, i tend not to like the ones set elsewhere, on the whole

11:42 am

true on both points

11:42 am

either way, though, you don't want to know Jessica Fletcher. you'll either be murdered or accused of murder

11:43 am

at least Midsomer appears to be a huge county(?) with a million tiny villages

11:43 am

yeah

11:43 am

not sure why they only have the 2 detectives and 2 ME though for all those murdered bodies

11:43 am

wouldn't want to live anywhere near Vera either

11:43 am

If you ever wanted someone dead, you'd hold a dinner party in Midsomer, inviting Jessica Fletcher, Dr Mark Sloan, Columbo, Quincy, Poirot and Miss Marple.

11:43 am

well i mean they are happening over a 20 year stretch here...

11:44 am

1 ME

11:44 am

see now Columbo, he was LAPD. that's not an unrealistic position in which to encounter a lot of murders.

11:45 am

Yep, I thought of that. But the episodes he goes on holiday (a cruise, London and Mexico, if I recall correctly) there were, of course, murders that just happened to need solving

11:45 am

just one more thing...

11:45 am

hallo! 22 to go here

11:46 am

hiya harry

11:46 am

12:39 pm

oh, ty. i was confused with the listing of stats and words and requests for stats.

12:40 pm

breaktime - my son just called me a nerd for taking notes in the zoom

that are in the lsit

12:40 pm

I have S H T T - sounds about right

12:40 pm

1-1-1-1

12:40 pm

tell him it takes one to know one

carla!

12:40 pm

Depends, what was the zoom about

12:41 pm

his virtual orientation for college

12:41 pm

TO!

12:41 pm

Nerd

12:42 pm

oooooooh i love the word that my missing R turned out to be!!!

12:42 pm

lol

12:42 pm

Or maybe he is the nerd for having his mother watch the zoom orientation with him

12:42 pm

ri6?

12:42 pm

yeah whose idea was it for you to participate hokie, yours or his?

12:42 pm

yes it was an ri6

12:43 pm

parents are required. we are now splitting up and students are going on a different zoom with small groups.

12:43 pm

ah i see

12:43 pm

that was my last one and I said I prob heard it too on midsomer murders

12:44 pm

what college is thus encouraging the helicopters?

12:44 pm

Agreed Hurshy, When are these people considered adults?

12:45 pm

NCSU - to be fair, my parents went with me to in person orientation at VT back in the 90s before helicopter parents were a thing. parents go to college orientations, I don't know why this is new info.

12:45 pm

ah, my college did not have that.

12:45 pm

And parents are "required"? What if the student is putting themself through school?

12:45 pm

but, the higher reasoning & decision making center of the brain doesn't really finish developing til 25, so...

12:46 pm

There was no parent attendance required when I went to college.

12:46 pm

25? Oh well then it's a good thing we let them drive at 16 and vote at 18 then.

12:47 pm

this lady's accent is offensive to my ears

12:47 pm

NC Steet

12:47 pm

And if they have under developed reasoning and decision making, do they even belong in college?

12:47 pm

maybe college helps develop it though

12:49 pm

"orienteeetion" what does she have against a long a?

12:49 pm

life is weird that way. i think back on books we read in high school and how unready we were to appreciate some of them, but, would we learn to appreciate them if we weren't introduced to them?

12:49 pm

College is traditionally where young adults are treated as independent from their parents. They meet with advisors and set up their own schedule of classes. At some point, parental involvement needs to end.

12:50 pm

and i do wish i had gone to college later, but, idk, maybe i just wish we could go more than once :)

12:50 pm

yes, he's been doing all that on his own

12:51 pm

and I've been making him do things like make dr appt, going by himself, etc., for a couple of years, and I think he's been doing his laundry since maybe 6th grade.

12:55 pm

found my S!

would help if I could find that last 4

eureka!

now 1 5 and 1 6, an H and a T

where'd everybody go?

1:11 pm

I'm arguing with a grammar queen at work that Wegmans (the grocery chain) has no apostrophe before or after the s. Its a name, just like Stevens.

1:11 pm

And glad to hear that the male child has been told to do his own laundry. Some of them never get the hang of that.

so, will you blow her mind if you say the Wegmans family on a Christmas card would be the Wegmanses?

carla: everyone knows that would be the Wegmans'

:P

or perhaps the wegman's

1:25 pm

my missing T words at the end were both stupid, to4 babblet that we have all the time and a missing plural.

leaving 75 to go.

3:40 pm

3:41 pm

let's play a game of to6,27 with wicks and mallets.

a littlefrench hat

big storm now

3:42 pm

ty TO

send rain pls

3:42 pm

You play to6 with bongs and pipes

still zooming here

3:44 pm

Good God, how long can it take to orient parents who are not even going to the school?

IKR

no orientation for parents that i recall.

this is with the college of engineering, and it's a Q&A. it's less boring than the earlier stuff. the students are in a different zoom.

but PLENTY for students, three days worth before the semester began

3:46 pm

I know TO, we were talking about that earlier. Isn't college the time for kids to be orienting their lives without parents?

well my parents sure thought so.

but they were the sink or swim type

when I went it was 2 days and the students stayed overnight in dorms. don't remember parents doing a lot with us but they were there doing their own things I guess.

3:47 pm

Sooner or later, the apron strings need to be untied

and my mother never went anywhere. I don't even think she went to high school graduation. definitely not college.

my husband went with the oldest 2 years ago

I didn't because you had to pay and it was buffets and stuff which I can't eat.

holy crap we are getting pounded by lightning right now

3:49 pm

Did y'all know Carla is gluten free? NO REALLY, she is.

true

it's very limiting

3:50 pm

Speaking of which, I'm surprised that rehey'all has not made the rehi list.

kinda like rehowdy

but I'll try to work it in soon

3:52 pm

No, howdy has been WAY overused by another player, who isn't even southern.

3:53 pm

And there it is. All I have to do is think hey'all and I get Redneck Woman playing in my head.

you did not go to your child

s graduation?

no, his orientation

it's weird to me that y'all didn't have orientations with parents

like I said earlier, I had one in 1991, so not a new thingie

ours was three days in dorms

3:58 pm

My older two went to college in the 70's and 80's and orientation was just for students. It seems kind of over attached to have parents involved in school at that age.

3:59 pm

fo 6/27, pls

4:07 pm

I'm still stuck on a game with bongs and pipes. Really? You know what I get if I goggle those words. :)

4:11 pm

it's a type of hat that sound like a game played with mallets and wickets

4:13 pm

thanks, KT

4:19 pm

Bongs and pipes was a joke based on the word toke.Jeez this is a hard crowd.

4:24 pm

Well, now I really feel dumb. I usually get jokes. Don't get many words on this puzzle, but usually jokes.

4:26 pm

the fo i have rhymes with list if you replace the f with an r

4:26 pm

and you get build off that fo6 to get the 9

4:27 pm

sorry, don't understand

4:28 pm

4:30 pm

4:30 pm

5:42 pm

Hi. Can anyone tell me if the ER6,24 is a normal word?

5:46 pm

It's not a word I have ever used.

5:47 pm

Resalutations all

5:48 pm

I think I'm going to need a clue for that ER6 if you've got one, origami.

5:51 pm

It's hard to clue without giving it away. Think of er + 2 little words.

5:51 pm

Ends with the name of the Beatle's drummer

7:53 pm

howdy, joy. I'm doing laundry. Just back from folding and rotating.

7:54 pm

probably should go up and get some water.

7:59 pm

What's rotating laundry? I feel that I am missing a critical step.

8:04 pm

multiple loads in, across and out

8:04 pm

folding and rotating sounds kind of kinky to me

8:05 pm

... just sayin' ...

8:07 pm

Ah, thanks, dan.

11:31 pm

Yeah Origami, I have never heard of rotating laundry either.

11:36 pm

5 left!

11:39 pm

you can do it!

11:40 pm

is rotating laundry just moving from washer to dryer? I think I usually hear moving or switching.

11:41 pm

that's where my mind went - rotating loads from place to place?

11:42 pm

washer to dryer to counter to washer is one rotation.

11:42 pm

oh, I just had a phantom hogtie fool me!

11:43 pm
