good mornin, Babblers

I am stuckety stuck. I'm still missing the L in the bottom row and the N in the fourth row, middle column. Does anyone have stats, please?

5:59 am

ne 4/4

5:59 am

cant help with either of the bottoms l's tho sorry

Hmmm...I have an ne4/4 but clearly not the right one

6:01 am

it's ne doubled lol

I have that one - but it's not from that N...it's from the N in the second row

6:02 am

oh bugger my apologies matt

No worries! I'll keep looking for a word from there :)

6:03 am

i have ne4/4 (which u have), ni4/4 ni4/5 no4/4 no4/4 so it must be ni

Looking at the list, there's apparently an ne6/18 as well

Found the ne6 - it's not from that N. Sigh.

6:06 am

matty the n is a plural from an n above it

6:06 am

ni5/10

Oh duh! Hit me with a wet salmon

Thanks

6:07 am

Salmon's far too expensive - goldfish do you?

Probably needs to be a carp for that transgression

Finally found those Ls with the help of the list

7:37 am

I predict a lot of people are going to be asking for those bottom row L's.

you be illin'. illin'.

7:40 am

Oh good, Run DMC is here

2nd day in a row. unless it was 2 days ago.

7:43 am

Also predict big asks for the ei7 and 8

7:47 am

It is raining so hard here that I was doing 30 in a 55 zone with the wipers on high and still could barely see what was in front of me.

yuck

we have sun today

you win a butler for a day

7:50 am

Ooo, I could use a butler. I could use a handyman more.

can't even get half the B's. bummer

7:53 am

good morning all...

hey pen

7:53 am

hey carla...

7:56 am

One of those b words is a plural that the singular is not in the grid (Obscure clue)

7:56 am

too many Ls, Ns, and Is in this grid....

too many i's

oh, you said that

7:57 am

and there are too many "roads" to the S....

7:57 am

hey

7:58 am

Those three letters make up more than half the grid. Blech

7:58 am

my feelings exactly....

8:06 am

I dont like this g rid at all. Too many i’s is right.

8:13 am

huh, the brit rainboots are accepted

8:13 am

so's the singular

8:15 am

What are brit rain boots? Stat please. Ty.

8:15 am

w7/44

8:16 am

Why doesn't the singular end in Y?

8:16 am

Ty. Dont know the word.

8:16 am

good question, molly

8:16 am

But got something. Ty.

8:16 am

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

8:17 am

Any stat and clues for the N last column? Ty

so many english and spanish numbers here!

8:17 am

What is that shirlock?

8:18 am

it's a pic of a shrug....clever.....

I think the singular doesn't end in y because the actual word is -ington, so it's a nickname for that

8:18 am

i was the queen of shrug in slack

8:19 am

Ok. Interesting.

8:19 am

So any clues for the N last column? Ty

8:21 am

mkg - group of chamber musicians?

8:21 am

Ty amanda. I am thinking.

8:21 am

no 5/10....what amanda said....

8:21 am

I don't know Carla. The drugs that are in the grid plural are short for a word that ends in zedrine and the singular ends in y

hmm

I did try the sing for that one earlier

8:22 am

One of those is northern Jersey Shore slang for ignorant tourists from New York and north Jersey.

8:22 am

It's that peculiarity of the English language to do whatever the hell it wants to do, depending on which way the wind is blowing.

but maybe because it looks like a name

8:23 am

Not getting the musicians at all. Darn

8:24 am

Googled and got it. Ty for super clue.

8:24 am

hence the w8/65

8:25 am

I think it technically doesn't need to be musicians. The *group* is the important part.

8:25 am

I believe the inventor of those boots was named this.

8:25 am

Got it.

8:25 am

The definition specifically mentions musicians

8:25 am

One last missing tile: need stat and hints for the E third column. Ty.

8:26 am

Ding! Ding! I called it

8:26 am

oh that is the dreaded ei 7/8....German fermented drink....

8:27 am

Ty. Will look for it.

8:28 am

Ei7! Ei7! Every evening we drink you!

so multiple nelsons (country singer) are allowed, but not just one

8:29 am

didn't know you frequented German bars, Molly... ;o)

I guess it's like the creeps

8:29 am

you should see her in liederhosen

8:29 am

it may be one of those ending in Y....

8:29 am

Small and white, gets me tight, we are happy to sink you

does it start like a certain genius?

8:29 am

WELL i am lost. Google gave me eipunsh not in grid. No p

8:30 am

I think it's as in "She gives me the [multiple Nelsons]".

8:30 am

well it starts with the German word for ice....

can't find anything because I can't get edelweiss out of my head. thanks, molly.

8:30 am

it's a sweet wine made from frozen grapes hokie

8:31 am

what word are we talking about stats pls?

8:31 am

Ei 7.

ei7/8 but don't know the points

google to the rescue!

8:32 am

Late start for me. I work at 1 today.

8:32 am

There are only about 9 seven letter ei words

8:32 am

Tried eiswine. No take.

8:32 am

hi scrabs....

8:32 am

Oh brother

oh geez

8:32 am

8:32 am

Got it.

8:32 am

Ty

8:33 am

8:33 am

Ty all. Off for the day.

8:33 am

Ty to all cluers!!!!!!!!

8:33 am

bye...

8:33 am

I'm so glad Bea missed that

8:33 am

got the ei 7/8 pair, thx!

I bet I would like those ei8s

8:34 am

i am not getting it

google what ru said at 8:30

8:34 am

there are quite a few plurals with the -ies that does not have a singular in this grid

8:34 am

MLF....homonym for ice wine....

8:35 am

Whew, lets just put the word in the chat and be done with it. Yikes

I mean, mkg basically did that

8:36 am

got it

8:36 am

good...

still no innies on enable

8:36 am

I put words in the chat often. You're welcome.

well I have half on everything but the middle row i and the bottom L

8:38 am

Let's go, Carla.

clap clap clap clap clap

8:39 am

clue for the i word iin the corner pls?

8:39 am

sicker

8:39 am

il6= sicker

8:40 am

ty

8:40 am

too many i 's in this grid

8:42 am

the complaint of the day.... ;o)

8:42 am

and it will probably continue lol

ooh, just finished the 8s!

8:45 am

Are there any 8s that don't start with W or E?

one S that rhymes with a W

8:45 am

it's a fairly easy grid for me today compared to the last two

8:46 am

ooh...thanks, hokie!

8:46 am

one hint.. put in words that look like they're there and presto they are

I wouldn't call it easier but seems better than the recent ones

I mean, wouldn't call it easy but it is easier than recent

Ru....isn't that how every grid works ... put in a word that looks like it's there and it...is? :D

8:47 am

2nd column L stats?

8:47 am

you inspired me, carla....finished the 8s....

woot!

8:49 am

more so in this grid matty (at least for me)

Agreed, but it just sounded amusing to my ears...I'm weird that way

8:50 am

I still want to know what annoys you in the chat.. someday

do you want to know what annoys me in the chat?

Hahaaa! I'll never tell. I'm sure I annoy people in the chat too. I could even hazard a guess as to what annoys some people :)

Go on Carla, spill!

I better not 😜

8:52 am

Silly me should have typed ne4 as soon as I looked at the grid. *honk*honk*

haha. I am happy to report I have stopped trying to make that one plural.

8:53 am

Yes

8:53 am

I keep trying it ... like some grid will accept it

isn't the definition of insanity something like that?

doing the same thing over hoping for a different result

8:55 am

i think they call it pigheadedness.... ;o)

(I have now tried making the pig word plural twice today)

8:55 am

Yes Carla, you and I had this same conversation not long ago.

8:56 am

i would be in trouble if I was penalized for wrong guesses... :o|

8:57 am

shit if we were all penalized for wrong guesses there'd be no rankings at all

we discussed that not long ago too. the game started out only giving you so many wrong guesses.

8:58 am

i never look at the rankings....they seem meaningless here....

I don't either and agree

8:58 am

morning all

8:58 am

did it really, carla?.....before my time, I guess...

hey hursh

8:58 am

hi hursh....

8:59 am

Hi Hurshy.

ruru, tell me these b's are worse than usual...can only find 9

9:00 am

same here...

9:00 am

don't you just love it when you try things you don't think will work and they DO

9:00 am

Yes!

oh, you might be playing the same grid as ru. he said to just try everything today.

you know when you just make your jello it is nonset

9:02 am

clue for the second sw 5/18 please.

9:02 am

I have passed halfway and must get things done before I work in 3 hours.

bye scrabs

9:02 am

eh, that's more unset. but in math there's the empty set, that could be a nonset

the 2nd one I have, ron, is a word for drink

9:02 am

by scrabs....

9:03 am

got that one that is the third one.

also, I just tried nonsense and it isn't there, so I don't believe ru (also I don't have any 8s left so why am I trying 8s?)

ok, only have one before that, like what a bug bite does, so I guess I'm missing that one.

9:04 am

SW5/18 = pigs & company

9:05 am

yes thats the first one according to lickity.

9:05 am

that's after both of the, momty

I think that's the last one, mont

9:05 am

those are the 3 i have...so far

9:05 am

Pigs and company is the Kardashian show isn't it?

9:06 am

'morning, all

9:06 am

but it's not last

LOL, ruru

9:06 am

lol ru ☺

9:06 am

good one ru!

9:06 am

you get minus 3 groans for that

9:06 am

i do have a 4th SW5...

9:07 am

minus?

9:07 am

is there some mistake? i think i've tried every combo that makes 18 and comes between the two we discussed...

thx hurshy for another sw5

9:07 am

there are only 4 sw's

9:07 am

i have four sw 6/18 words in a row.....which one are we looking for?

9:07 am

I have 4 as well

I feel like I have too, tried them all

9:07 am

ok then drink IS the second one

9:08 am

correct hurshy

9:08 am

yes the first has an e the third and forth have an i

9:08 am

got to be hurshy

9:08 am

so does the 2nd ron

so you're saying I was right all along 😜

9:09 am

name that proper noun! 80s show set in a governor's mansion

benson - already played it

9:10 am

ah ok sorry

9:10 am

ron....i think the one you are missing is the one that ends with what is read at the lawyer's office when someone dies....

np, just full disclosure😁

PS - I awarded Molly a butler for a day. what do I win?

9:11 am

Thank you for the Lawyer clue,i feel a right dummy missing that one.

9:11 am

the B are not too bad, found 13...and moving on ☺

9:11 am

Bs even...

9:11 am

happy for you, montreal....

9:11 am

13 is not enough, that makes them bad

9:11 am

☺

we all miss easy ones, ron. no need to feel a dummy.

9:12 am

but it's my lucky number so there

can someone tell me the middle row i stat?

9:12 am

no need, Ron.... glad you found it...

nm

peri'd it

9:13 am

iw 4/8....

9:14 am

the N grouping is rather blinding

9:15 am

iw 4/8 like the sacred bird with long beak just change to w.

9:15 am

yes, i was giving stats to carla but she found the word on her own....

9:16 am

okay.

9:17 am

phantom: webs

9:20 am

you are right hurshy, top N very easy

9:21 am

often

9:21 am

sorry ☻

9:22 am

what Es come from the top? i got all 6 of the other two Es but don't see these

9:23 am

I'm in the same boat, hurshy

you missed a big discussion about them. german drink.

9:23 am

ei 7/8...

9:23 am

well it ain't schnapps

or jagermeister

9:23 am

ah thanks

frozen grapes, mael

9:24 am

eiswein

9:24 am

exactly... ;o)

9:25 am

again, sorry ☻☻

9:25 am

thanks montreal! lol

9:25 am

monty, you're on a roll

9:25 am

"sigh"

that's it!

9:25 am

sooner or later it was bound to appear in chat... ;o)

9:25 am

ahh, the perils of the cursor in the wrong spot

9:25 am

happens to the best of su

9:25 am

thank you for your support ☺

9:26 am

it's not me, it's the curse...i mean the cursor...

alright, I'm stuck at 38 left. will walk Winston before it hits 80 out there.

9:27 am

43 here....bye carla....

9:32 am

we might be getting a hurricane next week, how's that for a change of pace?

9:32 am

bottom row grey!!!

9:33 am

hursh...can you give me stats for the second column N in that row?

9:33 am

er... there's no N in the bottom row

9:34 am

nor are there any Ns in the second column

9:34 am

Sorry, meant the L.....

9:34 am

ok, spell the fabric differently for that L, and plural

9:35 am

ty....

9:35 am

it's weird....there are four Ls, four Ns and four Is in this grid...

9:36 am

not the pleasantest combo lol

9:36 am

no...

9:37 am

*shakes enable* bento boxes are a thing!

9:38 am

got to admit....i tried that, too... ;o)

9:39 am

well i need a break....bbl to find my last 40....bye all....

9:39 am

19 left here

9:39 am

bye pen

9:40 am

time to go as well - bbl for last 48 - have a great day all and stay safe - poof

10:18 am

*happy dance* mike richards is NOT going to be the new jeopardy host after all!!

10:20 am

Ugh, is it going to be Mayim Bailik?

10:21 am

no, i doubt it, because they wanted her to begin with and she couldn't fit it in to her schedule

10:21 am

so that's why they said she could host like special ones

10:21 am

*rooting for Levar Burton*

10:22 am

Oh Levar Burton would be great.

10:22 am

i know, right?!

10:22 am

he wants the job. the fans want him. this should be a no-brainer.

10:31 am

I liked Buzzy Cohen

10:32 am

he was a former contestant, right?

10:32 am

which football player did it? I liked him.

10:32 am

one had to think Ken Jennings was an obvious choice but i got the feeling he did not want the job

10:32 am

Aaron Rodgers

10:32 am

Yes, and he hosted the Tournament of Champions

10:32 am

my QB

10:33 am

oh yeah

10:33 am

but he is still planning to play this season for the packers so

10:33 am

i don't see how he could really take the job

10:33 am

darn

10:33 am

he's gotta be getting old

10:33 am

he was my fantasy qb last time I played, which has been years

10:34 am

yeah, in football terms

10:49 am

he's 38

10:50 am

hello friends

10:50 am

hello trif

10:50 am

fwiw, i felt that levar needed to dial it back a notch - he was WAY too excited, but otherwise delightful. I would like him to host, if he had some decaf first

10:50 am

hello ruru

10:52 am

not sure who levar is

10:55 am

he played the lead role in Roots, and he hosted the PBS show reading rainbow, for years

10:55 am

Levar Burton, sometime host of Reading Rainbow, star of Roots, and Geordi LaForge on Star Trek: The Next Generation

10:55 am

he was on star trek, too now that I think of it

10:55 am

friend to all, hero to some

10:56 am

never heard of him.. none of them I've watched

10:56 am

good grief

10:56 am

the blind guy, geordi, I think the name was?

10:57 am

see comment below, trif...

10:57 am

oh aplogies, hurshy, i did not see your comment

10:57 am

I ADORE Mayim B - I think she was great, but would not want her to abandon her acting career. She's a wonderful comedic actress

10:58 am

well that is apparently how she felt too :D

10:59 am

so Mayhem kept you in stitches?

11:00 am

or not I guess

11:13 am

hi all. not crazy about Levar Burton but maybe as Trif said if he dialed it back a bit I could tolerate him

11:13 am

Oh God, I didn't know Richards was the executive producer of the show and basically nominated himself as Trebek's successor. Sounds like a charming guy...NOT

11:18 am

i had already seen him host "Beauty and the Geek" and i feel like you kind of can't host both that and Jeopardy

11:19 am

it's unseemly

11:22 am

it's kind of like how Bertie Wooster noted, "You can’t be a successful Dictator and design women’s underclothing. One or the other. Not both."

11:22 am

Bichon - I liked Buzzy Cohen also.

11:23 am

This is great.."Overuse of any punctuation mark tells us something about ourselves, in the same way overuse of any object does. How you punctuate your sentences might have something to do with how you punctuate your life..The exclamation point is the selfie of grammar. " ~Phillip Cowell

11:26 am

Well on that I have 52 left!

11:26 am

good morning - for my 2 cents -- liked Buzzy, Katie and even Ken -- but not Levar Burtion -- thought he was the worst

11:26 am

I liked Buzzy as well! Very retro and cool

11:26 am

JOe Buck was, is, and will always be the worst. At everything

11:27 am

Don't remember him, so that may make him 2nd worst

11:27 am

The sports announcer was terrible too.

11:27 am

he was the last guest host. they saved the worst for last

11:27 am

Sounded like he was calling a hockey game the whole time

11:30 am

Joe Buck is nauseating

11:30 am

What? No one is rooting for Dr. Oz?

11:30 am

blech

11:31 am

I thought dr oz was mediocre at best.

11:31 am

actually, Dr. Oz wasn't too bad if you could get past the fact that it was Dr. Oz announcing

11:31 am

which you couldn't

11:31 am

*signs Nan up for the Dr. Phil show for extra good measure*

when the world series is on, we turn off the sound and tune in to radio. why? joe buck. he must have some dirt on someone to have had a job all these years.

11:32 am

i'd also be fine with them choosing the person Alex apparently had in mind, who is a black woman. i'm assuming she works on the show already.

11:32 am

I thought buzzy was a good mix of insider knowledge of how the game works, personality, and the right level of enthusiasm

11:32 am

oh interesting, hurshy, I hadn't heard that! I only remember him jokingly saying he wanted Betty White to take over

11:32 am

We have come a long way from the days of Art Fleming and Don Pardo (all the youngsters say "Huh?")

11:34 am

I am saying. I have not a clue what anyone is talking about. Not heard of any of the names mentioned haha.

11:34 am

Laura Coates is one of the people Trebek wanted to replace him.

11:35 am

I'm with you Zooz.. not one of them ring a bell to me

11:35 am

We are talking about a US TV game show called Jeopardy and who will take over as host.

11:36 am

I thought Mayim did a great job!

11:37 am

Oh I see. I only once saw a snippet of it on a youtube channel where a lady was deliberately getting questions wrong so another ex service person could wins some money. It might even be a different program come to think of it.

11:37 am

I'm kind of amazed that Stephanopoulos was a contender

11:38 am

Back to the grid for me haha!

11:38 am

so did I une

11:39 am

even if she is a bit of a nerdy kook

11:41 am

You said it Nan

11:42 am

is anyone else finding this one tough -- down to 67 now and still have 3 blank tiles

down to 31 in half an hour

11:46 am

everything has been tough and exhausting since the large grid a few days ago

11:46 am

didn't know Joe Buck did Jeopardy. my only issue with him is when I see him. he doesn't match his voice.

it's all about him. his commentary is inane

11:47 am

joe buck is so awful. I love jeopardy - its a comforting constant in life, isn't it?

11:48 am

I thought Dick Vitale had the patent on inane commentary

11:48 am

stats for the middle col. c please?

11:48 am

*middle col. e?

no he doesn't baby!

11:49 am

lololololTO

11:49 am

I can't listen to anything with him

11:49 am

Ei 7 & 8

11:49 am

ei 7 44 and you might find it in late season wineries in BC

11:49 am

German alcoholic beverage made from grapes Nan

our former schoolmate did Basketball commentary for a while, but have not seen him

11:50 am

think Inniskilin Nan

11:50 am

ty molly and ru

11:50 am

Ru and Nan know WinoSpeak

anyone ever have this happen? try to contact about an account error but cannot because auto system won't let you log in because of that error....

11:52 am

I thought you asked for stats.

11:52 am

oh dear, TO! Try clearing your history and trying again, maybe?

no, it's their system, doe not match up.

live folks barely speak english and cannot help

11:53 am

ugh

11:53 am

secondo was here for a week, and just left for a college reunion. i miss her terribly already. BEST feeling, when the kids come home to visit

11:55 am

Yuck. Try and stay safe, Trif ❤️

i see that. i was planning a beach day next week

too much undertow

11:56 am

we visited a farmgate winery in Oliver once, owned by an Italian gentleman We mentioned that we had been tasting white wines at Tinhorn Creek. His reply was that he could give us wine like that -- he would just add water to his dry white. :)

speaking of obnoxious sportscasters, add T.J.Holmes. awful. and as co anchor of a daytime program. aimed at women?

12:00 pm

I was in that area of British Columbia during the wine crush and hockey tryouts. Not a fun driving experience. Meaning that traffic was very congested.

gtg trif be safe

12:01 pm

No, I live on an island in the Puget Sound area.

12:05 pm

12:07 pm

My husband spent 2 years at a college in BC and I had a friend that taught a Simon Frazier so we used to visit often. I also watch the coverage of the Olympics on Canadian TV and the National.

1:13 pm

*!*~*!* hagd everyone

1:42 pm

reading back, i think david faber was great on jeopardy

1:43 pm

and trif, if you come back, please tell us that jane eyre character you referred to yesterday

1:44 pm

Afternoon, welki.

1:51 pm

well lots of us can tell you about Jane Eyre

1:55 pm

hi bea, hurshy - trif said there was a "non-titular" character name from an 1847 bronte novel in yesterday's puzzle

1:56 pm

yeah, so that would NOT be Jane Eyre

1:56 pm

and if Eyre had been in the grid, it would count, because it does, so it wouldn't have been usable in Name That Proper Noun

1:58 pm

Thank you Welki, I was wondering about that too

1:58 pm

it could be from Wuthering Heights, that was also 1847

1:59 pm

yes, Linton was in the grid yesterday

2:00 pm

Catherine Linton from Wuthering Heights

2:02 pm

Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. Stay tuned for tomorrow's installment of "Ask The Bronte Expert".

2:08 pm

I just can't seem to get into this grid today.

I'm still trying to figure out the bottom Ls. saw hurshy's clue about fabric spelled differently and I have tried every which way but right.

aha!

2:13 pm

we have it frequently

I guess I hadn't 🤣

2:13 pm

i'm not a bronte expert, i just looked things up lol

2:14 pm

i know Jane Eyre better than Wuthering Heights though

I don't remember ever seeing it, but maybe I never thought of it in this context before.

2:14 pm

well that li5 isn't related to what we were talking about, Linton being in yesterday's grid

now need 3 G for bottom row

2:15 pm

they just were two separate topics of conversation that both happened to start with Li

no, I'm having my own convo

2:15 pm

Carla!

so the li5 is not here frequently, that comment was for linton?

bea!

2:15 pm

G words are not bad, 4s and 5s, one 6 that's a plural

2:16 pm

no, that comment WAS for li5, i feel that we have it frequently

2:16 pm

for G you have to remember to do the latin plural of Einsteins and Hawkings

2:16 pm

and cut the "ic" of the adjective that describes your DNA

didn't have the book/movie category

or the weird plural

2:19 pm

I am totally lost on the L clues, but getting the G's.

I guess my last one is your DNA thing but I'm lost on that clue

2:20 pm

Like ge4/5?

I have a ge4/5 but not sure what the -ic thing is

2:21 pm

ge + fish trap?

ah, thx

had generic stuck in my brain, which doesn't relate to those words

oh, bottom row gray!

just need 1 L to gray 5th col

2:32 pm

do you have the le7.44

nope

2:34 pm

your DNA is your *****ic makeup

2:34 pm

it's an odd 5

2:35 pm

oh i guess you got it

I think you aren't auto refreshing again

2:35 pm

no, i just skimmed and missed where you got it

is the le7 weird? does it relate to a body part?

2:35 pm

it is a bit weird

2:36 pm

idk what it means but is plural of Author Carroll

oh, didn't have but I was looking for a 5th col L. thx bea & hurshy

2:36 pm

Carroll & Hamilton are both le7, lol

2:37 pm

ah, it is a device for lifting a dressed stone, silly me

2:41 pm

hamilton?

2:42 pm

wasn't his first name Alexander?

must be a different one

2:44 pm

odd that "nada" is in the dict but not "rien"

2:50 pm

and sherry le7... maybe lambchop too. not sure.

3:00 pm

someone said earlier that there's an ni 4,5 but I'm not seeing how that's possible

3:02 pm

Maybe they meant an ni4/5 combo

3:02 pm

Yes

3:08 pm

ty bea

3:11 pm

Is there an li 7?

3:11 pm

No bento boxes for lunch today

3:11 pm

Yes, li7, 28
