Good morning
Radon
Sorry
hi tq
howdy all... and... re7
re7 x 2
hello everyone. And speaking fo ra 5 -- check your country's ra 5 map and if you are in a high density area get your home tested, or buy a monitor (best case scenario and good one available at Best Buy). This is important. We have lived in high density area for 30 years and now my husband has lung cancer. We had the mitigation done as soon as we found out, but it was too late.
Thanks, Nan. And I'm so sorry it comes from the voice of experience. Continuing to send positive vibes to your husband....
ditto
TQ and Nan, There is a mine in Montana. Just outside of Basin where one can go to soak up the r-radiation and pay for it no less. Influx of new customers thinking it will protect them from Covid

Good Morning! good grid with a couple of fun words

22 left here. 10 are D's, 7 of those are from the left D. have no idea what I am missing there.
Harry did a drive-by
And so it begins. Carla's narration of how she solves the grid.
I noticed. I was wondering if ! meant he solved it after all instead of saving 69.
Good morning, friends.
bea!
*Bows to the Master Gardener
bea, my volunteer sunflower is blooming and looks beautiful.
I love sunflowers.
I should have planted a Mexican sunflower. Those are fun.
NTPN - Coke's bottled water that somehow fizzed when you open it
are they just a little spicier? ðŸ˜
My sunflowers are just blooming now. I have 2 so far.
oh, and it sounds like molly wants to hear my stats. 4-5-10-3 W SSSS DDDDDDD DDD H SS GG RR
Ha! No, instead of one bloom, they have blooms on the end of each branch off the main stem. They get to be about 6-7 ft high and can have hundreds of blooms on them.
I keep finding new tomato plants under the deck too. I'm going to transplant them up to the planters
I will need to plant those next year, Bea.
oh wow, I might have to check those out
I'm pretty sure you are missing 2 dr's.
I have 2, there are more?
4
Build off the first dr
They are stupid, if you ask me.
ah, agreed. they are stupid
thx
Oh not just me Carla. Everyone is intrigued with the minute details of your grid solving. We live for it. Really. : D
when is moo coming back? he gets it. :D
NTPN - Name that pervert French painter.
well found an easy D4
Degas?
the only french painter I know is that, but it's a word in the grid
That's the one. You win a pair of toe shoes.
Rats, no tutu
NTPN - sink unclogger
Drano

I'll be in the pb for my french painter
And here I always thought that word had an eye in it
nope
Nor does Liquid Plumr have a be
those plumbers just can't spell I guess
Too busy showing their cracks.
It is probably some dumb copyright thing
I have come to the conclusion that if we all had to bend over as much as plumbers do, we would be showing our cracks too. It's an unavoidable downside to the job.
well, when low-rise jeans were a thing it was unavoidable
Have you seen high rise pants are back in vogue?
yep
I can't even...
I'm just waiting for the jeans halfway falling off/boxers hanging out on men look to go away.
haha, that's a long wait
Yep.
oh molly, have you been bitten by any of those flesh eating mites in the DC area due to cicadas?

Name that proper noun...city in Arizona
I am taking a break whilst paint dries. Secondo arrives thursday for a looooooong overdue visit - I am so excited I can barely sit still!
sedona
i'll bet!
Ding ding! Nan wins a cactus plant. You vacation near there don't you Nan?
we used to - in Sun City
giving up - going to list for the last 20
i still can't find the re5 that ends in a vowel. ugh
and then I did! thank you for psychic clue!
I feel safe here almost all the time... the chat has been pretty jovial and easy going, other than a couple of episodes with a right winger who throws around derogative comments.
I have not had the same experience, ruru. I have been the target of, and read entirely too much snark aimed at players I really like and have enjoyed getting to know. this chog is not the place it once was. and that is a sad, sad thing
i am glad your experience has been different. this should be a fun place for all
the re5nant monarch.
there hasn't been any issues here for a LOOONG time Trif.. that's old news. Sorry you keep carrying that grudge.. the chat has been really pleasant and the only annoying thing is incessant clues, but that's normal for here
does anyone have a clue for the first de 6/24 please?
beginning of underarm spray
what a strange word!
huh. thanks, ru
thank you ruru
hello dc!!! what a treat!
ty ru
good morning.
seain gets the Tiara today
i am not carrying a grudge, ruru, I am basing this on my own experience. you may feel it's old news, but for others it is not
oooh, but will the tiara match the shoes and bag?
time to go.
goodbye, TO. a wonderful monday to you, if such a thing exiss
sorry you can't get over stuff trif. I'm sorry but it seems overly dramatic to me. Hope you can let it go someday. Like I said the chat hasn't had any conflicts in at least a couple years now and it's been pretty fun to chat.
it does now that i begin it. later!
I completely disagree, it has NOT been a matter of year. I would appreciate you not negating my experience, or the experience of others. As I said, I am glad your experience has been different.
lets talk about something else now
conflict is inherent in any non homogeneous group, we learned in team training. it's the expression of it that causes division. can't get over it if it's not allowed to be expressed, and the harm acknowledged.
Thank you TO.
it was expressed in in the facebook group over a year ago. it's been nice ever since.
it' s like gov cuomo saying, they got it wrong, i meant no harm, etc etc etc
that's a pretty bad analogy TO. ... sexual harassment is much more serious an issue
anyway.. I'm dropping it. thanks
thats a whole thing, that cuomo guy.....reps are calling for his head on a platter, and that is fine, but goetz is still serving? Gym Jordan? The hypocrisy BURNS
even if one did not mean harm,, harm can occur. what i think is a joke can be very offensive to others. both cause harm. this was my job, ru. no targuing, but clariying, had my share of defending harassment cases
as for the gov, everyone deserves due process. period.
agree, but the way they call out some, but not others, is disturbing.
and that is all i would say about that. i don't want to add agita to the game. L)
I need to get ready for my dance lesson - of COURSE its muggy as h*ll today, ugh - what to wear!!???
truf: some get caught, others don't , and some are not guilty. law of averages
I love how the Q-ANon nuts accuse the Democrats of running a pedophile ring, but are really silent on Matt Gaetz having sex with underage girls and bragging about it
sorry, trif, yo uare not a truffle
exactly ruru!
I don't mind being a truffle! the chocolate ones are lovely things
and now to get ready for tomorrow's concert by listening to some jimmy allen. later
okay, shuffling off to dance class
nice choice, TO!
$15 ticket,s trif!
come on down
ooh trif what are you taking?
*!*~*!* thanks to lickety and the chat :)
Huzzah for nan!
off for the daily walk - hagd everyone :)
Ballroom, TO - cha cha, rumba (which I suck at() waltz, tango, hustle, swing and foxtrot. Its my idea of exercise and therapy!!!
trif - glad you are taking Ballroom. When you said you needed to get dressed I had a vision of Hula and thought you were putting on a grass skirt.
I like to vacation in or around Pacific Islands
that brings to mind Cabana Girls in the PB to me
Yay for a guy finally adding Cabana Girls. We need to have an equal opportunity PB : D
stuck on we 7/48 ??
Ends with grains on the beach
thanks molly... at my age, i thought i had heard most of the bs, but i guess not.
Oh if you want BS, this is the place to be : D
No weanies?
yeah just tried that as well :)
I guess it's actually weenies
there's a bunch of ways to spell it in enable I think.
ah finished the Ws with molly's clue below.
37 to go.
30. bbl.
Weanies would be babies being weaned off the breast. They wear beanies.
there's a cat/kitten rescue called TinyKittens, and sometimes the kittens don't want to quit nursing, so then Shelly will sometimes dress the mom cat in a "weansie" (a baby onesie modified for a cat)
We humans just call it a bra
lol, I think I'll start calling it a weansie
People might look at you funny if you do
*Imagines Carla in Victoria's Secret "Do you have this weansie in a 34C?"
🤣

i CANNOT believe that seahag is not in the dictionary????

seahag does seem pretty legit
I'm actually drinking a cider right now
ask any older woman in Cape Hatteras and she'll tell you she's a seahag
I have one every few months
is there gluten in the wine? carla can't have gluten.
i doubt any wine has gluten! gross!
you can't never be too careful.
wine is made with grapes and magic! no wheat stuff
thought Carla was a glutton for gluten
I know, but I just don't really like it
i Googled, wine is glute free! Hokie come on over
I have liked a late harvest semillon before, which is too sweet for most
I don't like sweet wine
yeah, wine is gluten free but it makes me flush and messes with my rosacea
well damn
cider doesn't usually give me the flushing
and it tastes way better to me
well then drink up! Cheers! Iggy are you having some Jameson?????
ðŸ·ðŸ·ðŸ·
just a sip
now Jameson is definitely not gluten free
or two
found the last D!
now just 3 s's left

they say cereal/ mash is NOT USED
snag
oh dammit
well barley and malt are both not GF
done!
if you are skeptical hokie, just stick with you cider!
couple of fun words in this grid - the RE7: Bonnie lass (?)

I love bourbon and limeade

derg, babble dictionary, derg!
well, now i'm just re-entering the same non-words over and over.
there simply are not 11 more words here.

i thought it was all about me
squin
It's about the non-words that my monkey is entering.
no SQ words, Scrab
TY, I will notify my monkey.
I found an 8 by myself.

Good luck, Mab!
