I greyed that column as well.

7:15 am

And I got a second cuppa and foundthe sc7.

phantom sardine

I have the German nasty police NOW, thanks to you, Dan - that's my first column done. Just 98 more words to find. Including 10 x 7s

that probably is it. stat?

I only rem. 3 freud things

ge7/36

7:42 am

ge7.36

first col gray!

GE + **** and pepper

The 8 is a CR8. It is a word you'd know

7:44 am

morning all, how many of you tried to finish every day? i used to but now, it's only if i'm close

It's part of a 6/8/7 combo

I'm stilling missing the cr7 that isn't part of that group though

7:44 am

Hi shirl.

I used to insist on finishing if I started - I don't anymore - it became too much like a job, if that makes sense and less like fun

I try to, shirl, but years ago I was obsessed with it and had to. I can not do it now.

exactly like matty sid

said

7:45 am

i'm with you all, when it becomes too much like a chore, i stop

7:45 am

It depends on what is going on im ny world as to whether I finish.

7:46 am

today's is too large for me to finish on a work day

Can anyone give me a nudge on the other CR7, please?

7:48 am

the plural of the cr6.24

7:49 am

I don't have time to finish these grids anymore. Back in the day, when I had jobs that were slower, I would finish every day. Now I just play when I can and enjoy that more than finishing every day.

That one I have, if it's to do with debt

7:49 am

I think you will be looking for ch7.36 then

That....would explain why I couldn't find another CR7!

7:50 am

....of Fire

7:50 am

Thanks for that, lynx

Thanks Lynxxx!

Now at least I have half the 7s (and I have the 8)

7:53 am

Just for the record, Fritz Perls was the founder of ge7 therapy, not Freud.

I sit corrected! Good old Perls, how could I have forgotten him ;)

7:58 am

Good morning, all. Ah, minty fresh. Altoids in the grid.

7:58 am

LOL! Grandson is playing a video game. It keeps saying to "Watch out! A tornado is coming!" I told him that was the cue for all of us midwesterners to run outside and look.

7:59 am

Good morning, Judi. Long time no see.

8:00 am

Good night all

8:03 am

Hi Judi. How's life in lower, slower?

8:03 am

stats for the Y so i can do nbt?

8:04 am

I wouldn't know, Molls. We live in the northern-most county. Only the two lower counties are considered "slower lower". Otherwise, life is all good.

8:05 am

Slower lower is anything below the C&D Canal.

8:05 am

Ah good for you. My parents lived in slower lower so I am used to thinking of the whole state that way.

8:05 am

hi jude

8:05 am

Hey Jude (but not ho Jude)

8:06 am

I find that Delaware is usually a "overlook" state. It tends to get overlooked - like on the weather channel they just refer to our area as the Delmarva peninsula.

8:07 am

Good morning, Ru.

No sales tax though, so it has that going for it!

It used to have cheap cigarettes too, but I suspect my info is outdated

8:07 am

Yes. We like our no sales tax.

8:09 am

It's not that we get a bad rap. We just get no rap.

8:09 am

Rep, rather.

8:11 am

Stats for Y is yi4.7 and 4.6

8:11 am

Some real work just landed in my lap, so I better get to it.

8:11 am

thx bzzn, now off to monkey

8:13 am

8:17 am

dins

8:17 am

Crap, sorry

8:18 am

double pb

8:19 am

Yeah, I will be mixing drinks, as usual

8:19 am

I'll have a Spicy Bloody Mary

Gin and tonic for me, with craft gin and Fever Tree tonic, please

Strong.

8:21 am

I was going to just as that drinkn by it's initials, but thought better

I've come to a shuddering halt with 94 left and don't think I can be arsed to list....

8:23 am

Yeah Bea, there are some things that really should not be abbreviated. Your drinks are up ladies. Cheers.

I decided to change my icin ti ine of a bird. We had to take our bird feeder down because birds are dying

12:11 pm

birds are dying?

12:12 pm

is see the bird on your profile

12:13 pm

in the south east, mid atlantic

12:13 pm

wow

12:14 pm

we just filled our bird feeder again a few days ago

12:15 pm

Why would you take your bird feeder down because birds are dying? They are not dying from bird seed.

12:16 pm

Ill birds come to the feeder and leave trace of the illness

12:17 pm

Oh so its COVID for birds now? Are they going to have to wear little bird masks?

12:18 pm

It made us so happy to see all the birds coming to our feeder

12:19 pm

i have heard pets can get it

12:19 pm

i was so happy that my husband finally bought some bird seed to refill the bird feeder with i love to watch them n the feeder and the pole the feeder is on

12:21 pm

200 words down

12:22 pm

Some zoos are vaccinating animals....

12:23 pm

Wait wait, zoos are vaccinating animals against COVID. The bird thing is a totally different virus.

12:24 pm

Yes

12:25 pm

Doe my icon look like a bird or roses?

12:25 pm

rose...but if you click on it you see the bird...

12:26 pm

That's weird

12:26 pm

MLF has the same thing going on with her icon...

12:39 pm

refresh a couple of times, log out, wait a couple of minutes and log back in. The new logo appears in the chat to anyone signing in now, but not to those of us who were already logged in other than in your profile.

12:40 pm

hi nan...

12:40 pm

It may take until tomorrow's grid before you see it in the chat

12:41 pm

hi pen - was here earlier this am -- just back from getting the gardening done before it gets too hot and smokey

12:41 pm

i was here for a half hour this morning and returned after lunch...

12:42 pm

how was the lobster dinner?

12:43 pm

i actually had fried clams....haven't had those in a few years....three people in my group had whole lobsters and some had lobster rolls....all enjoyed their meal....and the view there is terrific...

12:43 pm

ocean on three sides...

12:44 pm

it's on the tip of an island reachable by a few bridges...

12:44 pm

don't care for clams, but digby scallops and lobster is a whole different ball game

12:44 pm

i like it all... ;o)

12:44 pm

love steamers...

12:47 pm

it's almost 2 years since we were in NS -- haven't had really good lobster since. Everything we get in the way of shell fish has been frozen

12:48 pm

If there was a big enough market for it I'd be tempted to fund the opening of a lobster pound

12:50 pm

interesting...a young guy from southern Maine was working on Wall Street and was amazed that one couldn't get a real lobster roll in NYC....so he started one...now he has maybe a dozen places around the country....

12:51 pm

should have said he started a lobster stand of some sort...

12:52 pm

I just want a supply of fresh lobster - thus a pound

12:53 pm

missing 4 g's - no idea of what they can be

12:54 pm

there are two ge 7 words...

12:54 pm

The bird issue is salmonella and it is present in my area. So bird feeders have been taken down.

12:54 pm

ok - just have the military police

12:54 pm

bummer, ori...

12:55 pm

found the other - ty pen

12:56 pm

the rest are 4s or 4s with pl....nothing terribly unusual...

12:57 pm

must be missing at least one 4-5 combo then

12:58 pm

Luke's Lobster, a great story

12:59 pm

yes....we have one on a peninsula near here...

12:59 pm

first col. black

1:00 pm

And you can order from them online for all you non-Maine people

1:01 pm

yes, McLoon's also have an online ordering business....that is near me, too...

1:01 pm

I have never had a lobster roll. Crawls back into my cave.

1:01 pm

Lobster rolls and blueberry pie...ooo I want it. But $175 to blow I do not have

1:02 pm

i hear ya...i think the cost yesterday was $18.00 for a lobster roll with chips...

1:05 pm

live lobster here runs around $45/pound

1:05 pm

Well the mark-up for online and shipping is what sinks ordering seafood for me. Even the local crabs you can get are too high

1:06 pm

yes, and lobster prices have been higher than usual this summer....

1:08 pm

ooked at a whole beef tenderloin in costco the other day --- $95 so that has gone up too

1:08 pm

and $2.00 for one field tomato at the market

1:10 pm

seems like everything has gone up a lot...

1:14 pm

I think there are 115 words I have never seen before in this grid

1:15 pm

i am stuck with 76 left....should list....

1:16 pm

too many Ss and Cs....

1:21 pm

trying to get to 100 before I list -- 13 more to go

1:21 pm

i am at 75....need a break....bbl to list ....

1:28 pm

Beef tenderloin is my once a year at Christmas treat

1:34 pm

Back for the last 52...

2:19 pm

hi again - back from lunch

2:28 pm

finally broke the 100 barrier - off to the list

2:43 pm

149 left here trying to get to 100 left

rehowdy

2:48 pm

hi carla

carla1

2:54 pm

big difference in lobster prices between b.c. and alberta - here, live lobsters <2 lbs is about $21/pound

2:54 pm

worth the drive north :)

hey welk how goes it?

2:55 pm

starting to settle down, but not quite settled in

2:56 pm

probably won't be in alberta for a while :(

are you far fromthere?

2:56 pm

works out to about $46/kg - do you have a superstore near you, nan?

2:57 pm

yes and we can sometimes get frozen lobster there, but not live lobsters

2:58 pm

we are about 5 hours from the Alberta border on a good day, TO

2:59 pm

we went to boston for a seafood dinner - 5 hours is a walk in the park :D

3:00 pm

(i know you can't travel, that your circumstances wouldn't allow it, even without COVID)

3:01 pm

That's 5 hours to Lake Louise -- hate to think what a lobster dinner would cost there -- or in Banff

3:02 pm

yeah, but everything tastes better in the mountains (if you can't be by the sea)

3:03 pm

looks like thunderclouds moving in - figures, i have a tee time at 5:10

3:03 pm

We are closer to Vancouver -- but wrong coast for lobster

3:03 pm

We had hail here last Friday.

3:04 pm

mmmmm...fresh halibut

3:04 pm

We had a nice 2 hour rain on Monday, but it all evaporated yesterday it was so hot

3:05 pm

Its raining so much they have been cutting the grass here once a week.

3:06 pm

this is our third consecutive year of summer drought, sukee

3:06 pm

Wish we could switch for a month

3:07 pm

me too! It would be nice to get the forest fires quenched

3:08 pm

it's dry here, too - had a little shower last night, but not enough to perk up the grass. and water is at a premium, so watering is cut back

3:09 pm

the fields are tan, with the exception of the odd corn or canola field

3:09 pm

owl, are you all geared up for musikfest?

3:09 pm

have the grain heads filled out? ready for harvest?

oh gosh, once a week grass cutting is a necessity here. and my mom said some of her neighbors in VA mow theirs twice a week.

3:10 pm

not ready yet, nan

3:11 pm

There are some benefits, a cute guy always comes onto my patio to whack the weeds growing out of the cement :)

3:13 pm

i still have 113 left ...

151 here but haven't finished first pass

3:15 pm

not a bad grid until you get down to 100 -- missed some I should have found before listing, but was getting tired of it

interesting "cardio" postdates enable

3:23 pm

yeah, not even breaking 100 and likely won't finish this one

112 now

3:34 pm

down to 110 left

3:41 pm

my husband keeps saying my mind works differently -- guess that is proof -- you both thought of the noun while I thought of the verb

are you left handed? my husband is and we are always way off on how we think of things

3:41 pm

*wonder what a psychiatrist would mae of that? (maybe I don't want to know)

3:42 pm

lol - yes I am left handed

are you more creative too nan? That's what I've seen with left-handed people

there you go

but mr. homie is not creative

oh well guess as most generalizations they don't fit everyone

people do say that

3:44 pm

definitely. Played the violin, piano then organ for years and dabbled in all sorts of crafts. Love to sew and took up pottery which turned into a business for 12 years.

3:44 pm

where is mool?

and he always points out when we're watching tv and movies if someone is left handed, and it is more than you think

I don't know, peri, he's been gone about 2 weeks.

I'd say very creative, nan

3:45 pm

haven't seen mool for a while -- maybe on holiday?

3:46 pm

finally down to 100 left, listing soon but need a break bbl

bye

3:47 pm

bye peri

I did a jump off a 100' tower today

3:48 pm

bungee jump?

what? Into the water or attached to a bungee?

not exactly. it's like 70' free fall and 30' controlled fall, so no up and down.

now way would I be able to do that!

3:50 pm

me neither

I am a little scared of heights so my family thought I would chicken out. not gonna lie, it was tough to step off when I walked to the edge and saw nothing around me.

no way I mean

https://whitewater.org/activity/jumps/

my youngest has been working there this summer and wanted to take us on one of his off days

also did a zipline and a ropes course

3:53 pm

don't think I would want to bungee too often. Apparently the pull gets up to 3Gs on those things -- my brain is scrambled enough thank you

I read the link - it is a belay system instead of bungee

3:57 pm

ot 5 please?

3:57 pm

nm - can't believe I didn't see that

still need 2 o's on the bottom but have that

found one!

4:01 pm

No free falls or zip lines for me. No way, no sir.

4:02 pm

Oh...I guess you can't say no sir anymore because it offends all the ma'ams.

4:04 pm

sa 7/32 please?

How silly for me to miss it. Sorry all.

5:38 pm

Ty.

5:39 pm

So that does not mean going up. It is a noun.

5:39 pm

Donating blood is great. Good for you.

5:39 pm

It means being called to the torah. Ty.

5:39 pm

that is incorrect. it is a noun which is the conjugation of a verb meaning to rise.

5:40 pm

I welcome any other words especially hebrew ones. Ty.

which word are we talking about?

5:40 pm

my iron, usually below the cutoff for donating, was well within tolerance! all that kale is paying off!

just stats

5:40 pm

5:45 pm

5:46 pm

anyone know what the AP7/32 word means? Google say archaic notes(?)

5:51 pm

70! dictionary says a marginal note.

so the Christian word is spelled differently. Tx, Harry

5:52 pm

Ap7 - A marginal note; a gloss. A method of verification for international documents. The deponent's signature was verified in accordance with the apostil to the Hague convention. According to my google search.

5:53 pm

5:53 pm
