Got it. Ty
...rhymes with the bad guys from Battlestar Galactica
I will bet 100 bucks that mkg doesn't watch Battlestar Galactica
... true ... but I"ll bet if she googled it she'd get it in the first two lines ... and ya never know ... maybe she was a big Pa Cartwright fan as a kid
Correct. But i got the word anyway
Not an issue.
Pa??????never! Michael Landon was so sexy! He was the one.
I had no idea Lorne Green was on Battlestar Galactica
But i really didnt watch bonanza so much.
Wasnt a tv person so much.
And i preferred comedies. I did watch the mary tyler moore show and the dick van dyke show. And i loved the carol burnette show which my grand kids watch now on you tube and they think it is so so funny.
... he was the original Adama ... ...
how do you know when you've babble too much? when you wake up in the middle of the night and think O Yeah! i could have added that word!
Back to the grid. Missing some tiles.
Any clues for bottom row i word? Ty
Okay, that is a definite sign that you need to back away from the computer and go spend some time in the great outdoors.
I have too much outdoor time! Yesterday i got quite a sunburn on my fac.e i swim for a mile and i also walked the dog for 2 miles and got the burn.
So any clues or stat for the i bottom row? Ty
mkg, they make this great stuff, it's called sunscreen
howdy y'all. this is a hard grid too. went to the list at 25 last night and didn't have that many eye rollers. still 7 I couldn't find. can't even find a 6/8 set (I assume) with a look up website. will check back later for clues.
it 6/21 - a letter style...
ok, just typed in a word that I couldn't see whatsoever for that 6 with the 8 and it's there. babble blindness indeed.
ty boj

I assume Carla is talking about the li6/8 combo. Not really sure
no, it was the in6/8. could not make the 6 at all when I knew what letters had to be in it.
You knew what letters were in it but not the word? Hmm
eh, I'm word blind all the time too. It happens!
'morning, folks

oh en5/16?
in, li, and ne -- anyone know what the missing 8 is, please?
thnx
wv did you find it?
la8
yes - used the points from the stats
ty molly - looking
thats good
That was wrong Nan
It is no8
Sorry
oh - would be why I wasn't finding anything
I was watching a show from over 10 years ago. It took place in Portland OR [Grimm}. A character stated that: Who needs air conditioning in Portland LOL
oatmeal is much better today. added more brown sugar and cinnamon and fresh peach.
Now that sounds good Carla.
I just read this quote in an article about the rise of COVID cases. "The pandemic is fake and the vaccinations are just another method of government control". (This came from some idiot on the street)
that's the same guy in a few weeks who will be in an ICU dying and wishing he got his vaccine. Those stories are every day now.. this Delta Variant is nailing a lot of young people
I find it hilarious that these people worried about government control through vaccines all have... a smart phone
I worry about the kids under age 12. I don't understand how those who are eligible and don't get vaccinated can't see how selfish they are being.
I dont understand anti vaxers at all.
Any clues for the bottom row i ?
If the scientists can't come up with a vaccine for the little kids soon, before we lose a big chunk of that generation.
it 5/16
Ty.
I could use a clue too if you have it nan. Ty.
I just hope all schools insist teachers be vaccinated. It is scarey
choices for font enhancement on your computer are B I and U
In israel you must be vaccinated to do most things. And there is a problem because israel gave the vaccine to the palestinians and many fear getting the vaccine. So they are refusing to get it. Sad times.
Is that a clue nan?
yes
the ultra orthodox also refuse it
OH I GOT IT. GREAT CLUE NAN!!!!!!! SO CLEVER!
There are now several ultra orthodox rabbis who are shouting to all that they must get vaccinated so i hope this works.
Any clues for the E word fourth column E? Ty.
This has not been an easy grid for me.
Sometimes i zip to half way. Not this time
french word for a diplomat who represents your country in a foreign nation
Yipes. So i am supposed to know french now. Ugh. I dont know it. Embassador i guess is the english. But the french? I am lost.
rhymes with convoy
Ty jean.
:-)
Got it. Ty.
One more clue needed: i am missing the N words for the 3rd column N. Any stats welcome. Ty.
Oh never mind. Just got one of them! So sorry.
I am fine now. Ty
Got two now. Ty.

Care to Clue it then?
Cy 5. Just monkey it. Dont know meaning

Whoa...yet another example of French being accepted. There it is.

Ventnor

dauber is allowed to be excited if he wants though, lol
"something said or done in farewell or conclusion" it referenced poetry
interesting
phantom: revue
I haven't been excited about Monopoly since I was 9
i didn't like the game even then
other than the colors, i liked that the board was colorful
I just once would like to play a game of Monopoly *by the rules*: have auctions, no money for free parking, etc. Just once.
problem is nobody will.
sympathies to you in this plight, dauber
<-- this little girlie is in the grid today!
I used to love monopoly when I was a kid. absolutely hate it now.

Did you know it costs $24,000 for a 29-day stay at his Crossroads rehab center in Antigua? Rehab for the rich and famous.
24K for a month? I assume that includes food and campfires? Not that crazy for beachfront accomodations
I've got everything except for the RE words. I can't imagine why they're so hard to find. I only have a 4,4.
ok, found a 5,10. Any clues for the RE 6,27 would be appreciated

You, too, granny.
6 left... just got out of a tense board mtg about them trying to cut our pay... grrr
oh dear mich. not good news at all.
thx, granny. Teaching at a public college is challenging at the best of times. Since March 2020 its been really tough, and now less pay :(
i hear you. stidmama keeps me pretty much in the loop. teachers in the USA have it really tough.
and vax can't be required, b/c it's not equitable, but they want us all back in the classroom by the end of the year
I miss the stid family.
somehow asking someone to get a free vaccine isn't "equitable" when clinics happen all over, drugstores have the vax, and Uber will take you to a place for free? (head shakes)
can you please expand on what you said about the vax?
now that's just plain nuts. i's free, uber takes you for free. what is this about it not being equitable? who cannot access the vax?
We are bending over backwards to be "equitable" and not expect poor ppl and brown ppl to have access to technology and resources. Somehow the fact that black and brown ppl aren't getting the vax is an equity thing. When it's really a distrust thing
If we require vax for higher ed, then we are excluding black/brown/poor ppl. The logic is warped.
OK, enough politics :) Just got my FW and time to settle in for the flip.
sounds like resources on the ground are pretty limited. we had the same issue with our First Australians. the trust i mean. educate the elders, the rest follows.
WTG MICH_PDX !!
