Odd grid - maybe 10 of these words I might use in conversation

6:02 am

Well, I will dive in.

6:16 am

hi scrab! first pass done here. nbt and nbs, 48 to go.

6:17 am

My nephews are getting ready for school...photo day today.

6:17 am

no funny faces!

6:19 am

That's what I told them.

6:19 am

40 to go. bbl!

7:23 am

I love those "bad school photo" sites. Hilarious.

7:53 am

Good morning, friends.

7:57 am

Home again, home again, jiggety-jig

7:58 am

Yes, and I'm glad to be here.

8:07 am

'morning folks

8:08 am

Hey, welki.

8:10 am

restless night here - 8 year old grand-daughter fell from an apple tree yesterday afternoon. comminuted fracture of distal humerus - took the end of the bone right off.

8:11 am

Oh, no!

8:11 am

How do they treat that?

8:12 am

Is this the one that broke her leg on the trampoline?

8:12 am

they transferred her from rural hospital in vermont to albany, ER was jammed, so she spent the night in a waiting room - surgery was this morning, three pins

8:12 am

nope, that's her sister

8:12 am

(and amazing that you remembered!)

8:13 am

I'm sorry they had to wait that long. How long will she be out of commision?

8:14 am

actually, it wasn't a rural hospital, she lives in a big town

8:14 am

splint for 2 weeks, then a cast for two weeks - then pins get removed and another cast for two-three more weeks

8:15 am

bea, the worst of it was that, when they arrived, the ER was treating multiple youth stabbing victims and the screaming scared and upset her badly

8:16 am

I'm sure she was scared! I would have been as well.

8:16 am

(not to take downplay the other patients)

8:17 am

my daughter is waiting to see her in recovery - apparently she's freaked out that the pins stick out of the skin (and she's a nurse)

8:18 am

I'm sure your daughter is tired and distraught.

8:21 am

no doubt - i'm sure the words, 'she'll need to see a pediatric orthopedic specialist.' scared the crap out of her

8:24 am

Of6 please?

8:24 am

It's a compound word, Une.

8:24 am

Not on + what you do with scissors

8:25 am

Got it...

8:25 am

Thanks!

8:31 am

Random poll: Brian Laundrie. They will catch him or he's gone with the wind.

8:32 am

They will catch him eventiually. May be years though.

8:34 am

He has some psych/mental problems so he won't be long with out meds, if he stays on them.

8:50 am

8:51 am

He's not in the Glades. He is probably on a boat in the Bahamas.

8:53 am

i think he's in the appalachian mountain area since he knows it so well

8:54 am

He had plenty of time to flee the country. If he didn't, he's an idiot. You can't hide out in the wilderness forever.

8:54 am

shame on his parents for aiding him

8:55 am

he doesn't seem to be that bright molly

8:55 am

I agree, ru. Funny that he had a lawyer as soon as he got back to FL.

8:57 am

While they were searching for Gabby, they found another body of a man that had been missing since the first part of Sept.

9:00 am

what a tremendous loss of life for two young people

there was also a married couple found murdered at a campground in Moab around the same time but they don't think it was Laundrie now

well, they never thought it was laundrie

they thought originally whoever killed petito might have killed these other 2 women

9:05 am

I'm of the opinion that he only killed Gabby. There are so many park preditors.

agreed. the 2 women said they were going to move campsites because there was a creeper next to them and they even told their friends if they disappeared they were murdered by that guy

9:07 am

i would have left.. I read about that story...

yeah, I don't know if it was an actual campground or campsites along a trail or what

9:09 am

unreal. It's been decades since I've taken extended road trips, but it never used to have this dangerous feeling

sure it did. so many murders in the 70s. it's actually known as the golden age for serial killers.

9:11 am

hello all

9:12 am

especially here in nor cal.. the zodiac etc

9:12 am

Hello, lindy.

9:12 am

I was on the road alot in the late 80s and the 90s. Admittedly, I was not (and still am not) female, but I never felt threatened. And encountered some women travelling alone.

9:13 am

I just think we hear more about it these days

9:13 am

never really thought much about how dangerous it was to take that magic bus trip cross-country in 1972

yeah

9:13 am

just how far and wide the news spread, something that might not even have made it past the local papers is all over the internet

9:13 am

I never heard of "park predators"

9:13 am

I think they were just starting to figure out serial killings in the 70's.

9:14 am

There are lots of them, HH.

so many hitchhikers in the 70s/80s

9:15 am

it's opportunistic killing, also why unfortunately a lot of homeless are victimized, as well as runaways

9:15 am

how do you know? do they have societies? has somebody done a census?

9:15 am

if no one is looking for you... well

and in the 70s they immediately classified kids as runaways, even when their parents were like, there's no way

9:16 am

that show about the behavioral analysis unit seems to imply that it's all over the place. but what do we really know about this?

9:16 am

There is a popular podcast about murders in national parks.

harry, google murders in state and national parks

9:17 am

again, there's murderers everywhere (by, you know, sensible definitions of everywhere) it's just that parks provide a good opportunity for killing and getting away with it

yes

9:18 am

isolated, a significant chunk of time before victim is reported missing, plausible reason for being alone in the wilderness if questioned or spotted...

no cell service in those places to call for help

9:19 am

that's what happens when they took all those phone booths out :D

there was a phone booth at our grand teton campground back in 2014. I made sure to show the boys and tell them what it was. don't rem. if it was operable or not.

9:21 am

my son went on his first solo hiking trip today up to NH. I'm more worried about him getting lost than foul play

9:25 am

Stuck at 14...

108 left here

9:25 am

stuck at 6 and i still have 2 fours to go

harry, how old is he? does he have maps and compass and/or GPS not phone related?

9:26 am

found my last 4...13 left.

I would be worried too but I am a worrier. I'm sure he'll be fine.

9:28 am

I mean, I go hiking alone all the time

9:28 am

He's 17. Just a five hour hike. He's in very good shape and I hope he'll be fine.

9:28 am

it's still incredibly statistically unlikely

9:29 am

I did this all the time when I was his age. But I did lots of much stupider things when I was his age. I am lucky to be alive.

9:29 am

you're much more likely to have a car accident on the way to the grocery store... but we're just confirming that yes, "park killings" are unfortunately a thing

9:30 am

My brain cannot wrap itself around "golden age for serial killers"

unfortunately I didn't come up with that

9:32 am

26 to go. later all!

bye harry

9:36 am

i hate it when the grid loses words you've entered previously

yes

9:38 am

It is kind of creepy how obsessed the people on Reddit and Twitter are about this case.

if ad 8/60 is a word why can't de 8 be a word?

9:40 am

I asked myself the same thing, luv

ad8 is a muscle instead of one who does?

molly, "they" get like that with a lot of cases and it is creepy.

9:42 am

Any clues for top row e words? Ty

9:43 am

Oops sorry just found one. Ty anyway

ed 5/16 & ed 7/40

9:43 am

Ty found the 7

9:43 am

Got the 5 too ty.

9:44 am

Only missing bottom row e word for E in third column of bottom row. Clues welcome. Ty.

eu 4/5

9:46 am

Ty

9:46 am

Got it.

9:46 am

Euro

9:46 am

Ooops so sorryt

9:52 am

Carla are "they" the pajama people who stay home all the time and never see the light of day?

9:52 am

"they" are a representative of society

9:53 am

the fascination with murders when the victim is female, pretty, and white is... not exactly a new thing

9:54 am

sure, some of them fancy themselves internet detectives, but most of them are just rubbernecking

9:57 am

I have a friend who uses the term "news junkies"

9:57 am

You would be surprised at the people who follow true crime stories.

9:57 am

I think this is different than a news junkie.

9:59 am

far be it from me to say I never enjoyed Law and Order or the like, it's the mystery of it. But as to why some particular murders get picked up by the news while others don't, well...

10:00 am

I'm, personally, far more fascinated by that lawyer in the carolinas who seems to have a veritable cloud of suspicious deaths following him and his family around

10:00 am

It is all about marketabliity. What the news people think will attract viewers

10:01 am

Is that the one that hired a hitman to kill him?

10:01 am

yeah, molly, we're back to the "young, white, pretty" equation

10:01 am

yeah bea, that's the one

10:01 am

Alex Murdaugh? That is so going to be a movie

10:02 am

I saw it on the cover of People the other day.

10:02 am

It is not just that. The Petito case got a lot of news splash because those two had an audience on social media

10:02 am

I've read that he had a lot of enemies.

10:03 am

Well, you steal over a million dollars, you are going to make some enemies

10:03 am

I remember seeing the first article back when it was still "lawyer shot only months after family suspiciously murdered!" and uh huh, sure buddy. I remember telling my husband that I would bet a whole lot of money that a) he planned the "hit" and b) he had something to do with the murders in the first place

10:04 am

Didn't know he was a thief. I thought the same thing, mael.

10:05 am

I think, the MOST innocent explanation for all of this, is that he got himself into some huge trouble embezzling money from his lawfirm. the least innocent, well, is that he made some enemies protecting his family from crimes they committed

10:05 am

or he committed. or they committed together even

10:14 am

One more C and 2 H's

10:20 am

morning all....was up after the flip....16 left here...

10:20 am

almost half are Cs....

10:23 am

16 left for me too :-)

10:24 am

hi Une...

10:27 am

Hey :-)

10:33 am

ch 5/22, pls

10:34 am

ends with one of the two high point letters in the grid...

10:34 am

clue for either re6 please?

10:35 am

don't have those....will look....

10:35 am

re + a form of fuel....

10:36 am

thanks pen

10:36 am

i didn't think that was a word...

10:36 am

yw...

10:37 am

the other re 6 is sound returning to you like in a canyon....again....

10:37 am

My phantom re6 is put the stopper back in the wine

10:37 am

thanks again pen

10:37 am

ty for helping me finish my Rs... ;o)

10:37 am

yw...

10:38 am

ty pen

10:39 am

yw...

10:41 am

I don't clue when Pen is around. She is a very "aggressive" cluer : D

10:41 am

it's hard for me to believe that there are six more Cs that I have to find...

10:41 am

:oD

10:43 am

clueing is a nice distraction from way to avoid trying to find pesky words... ;o)

10:43 am

sorry about the awful english....i was trying to correct the sentence when WHOOSH it went through...

10:45 am

There is something weird about the chat box these days

10:45 am

it seems a bit touchier...

10:45 am

or should that be more touchy...

10:47 am

Maybe we should send it to The Sensitive Room

10:47 am

perhaps...

10:47 am

as long as it isn't touchy feely

10:51 am

that makes sense to me... ;o)

10:54 am

i am down to six and they are all Cs...

10:55 am

CE 6?

10:56 am

Careful Ru, you might incite a tirade

10:56 am

ends with a religious event like confirmation...

10:56 am

ce 6 not cewrong

10:56 am

that was for the ce 6...

10:56 am

See? She SWOOPS right in with the clues. Almost answering before you are done asking.

10:57 am

pen is really efficient

10:57 am

:oD

10:57 am

lol thx

10:58 am

That is why she is the saint and we are just the heathens and Phillistines

10:58 am

+ + + ....

10:58 am

exactly.. Saint Penquis

10:58 am

I heard she walks on water in the pool room

10:59 am

She gives them a run when she plays at the flip. I am always rooting for her to beat the Mensa group

10:59 am

they are amazing aren't they Freep, Rainqui, Jessmom, Grannyrose, Diz.. it's amazing

11:00 am

ty, molly....last night i was by myself because it was an hour after the flip....

11:00 am

yes, they are really good....

11:02 am

I liked the flip better when people were not blurting out stats for the first hour. It seems kind of like a show-off hour now.

11:02 am

well it is what it is....people who show up seem to like it....it's not my favorite part of the game....

11:03 am

it's like big game hunting for them.. .exciting

11:04 am

I heard that once some other game shut down and we got a lot of new imports from it, that is when the flip changed. Just because the new people didn't like the unwritten "no blurting in the first hour" rule.

11:04 am

stats on the solo E at the bottom pls

11:05 am

Hi all. I agree w/ Molly. They're kind of show offs. And the way they correct someone who calls a word that's already been called is just weird. Like they're keeping score.

11:05 am

eu 4/5...

11:06 am

one can always turn off the chat and just play normally if they don't like the flip....

11:06 am

hi joy...

11:06 am

I'm actually a bit tired of rules around here .. but that's me

11:07 am

It reminds me of what I used to hear when I had 4 and 5 year olds in my house. "I got it FIRST!"

11:07 am

i am stuck with four left...

11:07 am

hi penquis! Yes, I often do that when I first start, so that I'm not distracted by the relentless clueing.

11:07 am

Oh I always turn off the chat if I am up at the flip.

11:07 am

same here...

11:07 am

you are up at the flip Molly? Really?

11:07 am

i have the af 5 meaning before.. i need a clue for the other af5 pls?

11:08 am

do you ever sleep?

11:08 am

No Ru, I just hang upside down in my cave. Yes, there is an occasion or two on weekends when I am just getting home at the flip.

11:09 am

i often have trouble sleeping...

11:09 am

(mumbles party girl)

11:12 am

Well, it beats staying home and downing whiskey while I stalk young'uns on the computer. But then, what do I know...I have no life.

11:12 am

LOL (literally)

11:12 am

hey, what'd I miss?

11:13 am

not much...

11:13 am

confessionals hokie.. must be because of Saint Pen

11:13 am

hi all. would every one please send postive vibes/thoughts my way that I find another apartment before my building is sold. thanks

11:14 am

I have been Peri and will continue

11:14 am

will do, peri....sorry for your trouble....

11:14 am

thanks so much

11:14 am

yw...

11:14 am

will keep you posted

11:15 am

I have ad6 but not the ad8

11:15 am

we'll all be references for you Peri

11:15 am

vibes have commenced vibrating for you, peri. There's an apartment out there with your name on the door.

11:15 am

I know the feeling. In the past, I had two landlords tell me I had two months because they wanted to sell the property I was living in

11:15 am

thank you joy

11:15 am

ad 8 has one of the "one who" endings....

11:16 am

it is unnerving and unsettling

11:16 am

That is when I bought my condo. I was tired of the landlord thing.

11:16 am

ty for ad8

11:17 am

yw...

11:17 am

I've only had that happen once in Oregon

11:17 am

it has never happened to me before. two people have come to look at the property this week

11:17 am

owning property is a much better deal than renting, but both can be expensive. There is ALWAYS something wrong with my house that needs fixing.

11:18 am

Moving is one thing when you make the decision to do it. It's another when it is forced on you

11:18 am

I am hungry. bbl

11:19 am

Oh trust me Joy. I wish I could afford to rent again. I have a list of things that need to be fixed/replaced a mile long.

11:19 am

Is the CH8 a normal word?

11:19 am

There is no Ch8

11:19 am

There is no Ch8 s

11:20 am

I don't think there is a ch 8...

11:20 am

Right, Molly? Now that we've saved up enough to do all the house repairs and changes we want, it's like we have a new roommate, because the contractor is ALWAYS here.

11:20 am

did you hear that there is no ch 8?...lol

11:20 am

No wonder I can't find it!

11:20 am

See what I mean about the chat box?

11:20 am

I have an AD8. What's the other one?

11:20 am

hey, is there a CH8?

11:20 am

there is a ch 7...

11:20 am

TO

11:21 am

i have three left....all Cs....a five and two sixes... :o(

11:22 am

58 left here. haven't even finished a first pass

11:22 am

but we got some new shades installed

11:23 am

still need 15 c's

11:23 am

OK, just to recap: Both owning and renting property has its problems, the 8s are AD and TO, the 7s are CH, CR, ED, and HE, peri needs good apt. vibes, carla has new shades, molly is a bat or at least sleeps like one.

11:24 am

LOL, sounds accurate

11:24 am

good vibes to peri

11:25 am

Oh, how did I miss that Carla has new shades? That is earth-shattering news.

11:25 am

11:22, keep up

11:25 am

So, it the TO8 a normal word?

11:26 am

Calls guano control in Maryland ...

11:26 am

Ha! I thought she meant sunglasses.

11:26 am

no, joy....not a normal word for me anyway...

11:26 am

no idea about TO8 or HE7 joy

11:27 am

I think the to8 is French

11:27 am

he7 is to get money from an estate will

11:27 am

any NTPN yet?

11:27 am

not since i have been here...

11:28 am

yes.. Teamster boss

11:28 am

thanks, ru

11:28 am

famous missing person in the grid

11:28 am

yep, that one

11:28 am

Not unless you want to do Sonny's wife

11:28 am

ex-wife!

11:28 am

cher

11:29 am

The teamster boss is the missing person

11:29 am

yes, that's why I said "that one"

11:29 am

he's gotten to participate at a lot of Giants football games

11:30 am

that's the word on the street

11:30 am

if by participate you mean RIPing under the field

11:30 am

*picturing carla on the streets of new jersey*....

11:30 am

but can you really RIP with football games all the time

11:31 am

are there any CHR words?

11:32 am

my dad used to teach a labor history class and he told me every single class someone asked him what happened to Hoffa.

11:32 am

I don't have any

11:32 am

for him it really was the end zone

11:32 am

like he had some line on it that the feds didn't, joy?

11:32 am

Ahahaha...Carla on the Jersey streets..."Are youse LOLing at my HOET? TWSS yo"

11:33 am

I went to Jersey once, but it was to a wedding on the ritzy shore

11:33 am

oh, found the TO8. tried it as a 7 earlier.

11:34 am

I've only been to Hoboken and hopefully will never be back

11:34 am

The ritzy shore is a world apart from the guts and grime of Jersey

11:34 am

41 left now, 20 are 4's, so I got that going for me, which is nice

11:34 am

Seacaucus is a real adventure (not)

11:35 am

please share your insights on that TO8, carla.

11:35 am

like the brits call a flashlight but then make it french

11:35 am

Parts of NJ are nice.

11:35 am

like the ending of the candle in beauty and the beast

11:35 am

For some reason the beach in NJ is called "the shore."

11:37 am

It is called that a lot of places. In Maryland, they talk about going "down the shore" which comes out sounding like Downey Shore. I thought Downey Shore was a real place for a long time.

11:37 am

where's nan? maybe the canadians call a flashlight that too.

11:37 am

here it is referred to as the coast...

11:37 am

The Canadians copy all the stuff the French do : D

11:37 am

we call it the beach

11:38 am

I tried the british flashlight with a French ending a zillion times. Maybe I'm spelling it wrong.

11:39 am

are you sticking an i in?

11:39 am

Yup, that was the problem. Thanks, carla.

11:39 am

no prob. it does seem like it goes there.

11:39 am

But that would be a 9

11:40 am

yes

11:40 am

but maybe joy's like me. I don't actually count the letters when I'm trying to find big words.

11:40 am

deuct

11:40 am

Well I can see where that would be a problem

11:41 am

i am done....had to list for the last three....aggravating....

11:41 am

still an excellent job, pen

11:41 am

still have 36 here

11:41 am

Damn, why doesn't orienting work for or6?

11:41 am

ty, carla...

11:42 am

I did at some point notice I had too many letters, but I was monkeying around the wrong way.

11:42 am

i think the duke of york is way dukier than the duke of lancaster

11:43 am

great, now duke of york stuck in my head

11:43 am

I think the Dukes of Hazared are dukier than both of them

11:43 am

I tried dukier too

11:43 am

I tried wakier

11:43 am

and cukier and tukier

11:43 am

♪♫Just a good ole boy♫♪

11:43 am

Persian cucumbers are delicious. So much cukier than the larger ones.

11:44 am

I can't wait for the tukier sentence

11:46 am

still no HOET here

11:46 am

NHOET

11:46 am

HOET!

11:46 am

OK, I admit, I can't come up with a possible meaning for tukier.

11:48 am

I can't believe I missed the CH7 my first time through the grid.

11:49 am

don't forget the 6

11:49 am

ty carla. I'm not up on my Englandish.

11:53 am

is that outlandish english?

11:56 am

heading over to the spelling bee....bye all....

11:56 am

At least it's not UKish

11:56 am

bye pen

11:59 am

harry's son is hikier than the rest of us right now

12:13 pm

Fire

12:14 pm

Cote

12:14 pm

Croft

12:14 pm

Crofted

12:15 pm

sorry

12:22 pm

rOSALIND we all do it or have done it at some point.....so no need to apologise....

12:42 pm

detire

12:44 pm

They had to detire my car on Saturday before they put the new ones on

12:45 pm

i totally tried detire too

12:46 pm

Any clues please for re6/21 and re6/24 ??

12:47 pm

re6/21 dirty fuel again

12:48 pm

After they detired my car, they stood around drinking coffee and chatting for 20 minutes. This is what I paid the $200 in labor for

12:48 pm

reiki is too a word, enable

12:49 pm

thanks for that adubin....kept lookin' at it, but didn't believe it could be a word!!

12:49 pm

The other re6 is sound bouncing off a mountain again

12:50 pm

thanks Molly!

I am stuck on 12 left. in case molly needed an update.

2-3-7

1:10 pm

Me? Why everyone hangs on your every inch of progress.

good point

1:28 pm

I had to go work for a while. Did I miss any brilliant commentary?

doubtful

1:30 pm

You just go to work for "a while"? I want that job

1:32 pm

No you don't, trust me.

1:51 pm

hello everyone :)

1:53 pm

Hey Nan :-)

1:55 pm

all done. Anyone need clues?

yes, what are my last 12 words?

and hey nan

2:07 pm

your last 12 are probably some of the 41 that I still need to find :)

phantom troika

almost auction

2:27 pm

you did well to get to 12 carla -- going to list at 26

2:28 pm

Heiku...haiku for guys

thanks nan, super stuck at 12. not sure these words actually exist.

nm, found the K - 11 left!

and the A - 10 left!

2:35 pm

are you missing the cu 4/9?

nope. well, I have one at least.

C F TT O CCCC H

2:36 pm

I'm sure you must have the cu 6

2:37 pm

co 6 x2 as well

I do not

I do know it's not cukier

ah, I see it now

2:37 pm

oh -- have you never made shorts by taking a pair of scissors to an old pair of jeans?

thanks

2:40 pm

some of my missing ones were ones I know I entered last night

just now noticed your co6x2 post. so weird how posts show up later.

ru said today he had some missing he'd already entered too

2:42 pm

there are a few questionable ones as well

2:42 pm

a lot of new words -- monkeyable however

yeah, I have made up a few already

2:45 pm

is your missing h the creatures great and small vet?

possible since I don't get the clue

2:45 pm

tv show -- all creatures great and small -- name of the vet

2:46 pm

james h

ok, no idea on that.

I'm a little embarrassed nan is giving me a tv clue I don't get

2:46 pm

Not seen that TV series since I was a teenager!

2:47 pm

I only know that character because my Dad loved the books.

2:47 pm

google all creatures great and small

ok, just googled. I do have that.

2:47 pm

they are running a remake of the tv series now

2:47 pm

It is obviously not spelled the same

yeah, that's what came up when i googled

2:48 pm

I was a lot older than that, zoom, but we don't get the british shows until they are at least 3 or more years old.

2:48 pm

Carla probably thought it was a disturbance in the streets by females

ah, my last H was the much simpler 4 letter version of the HE7

guess I thought all day that I had entered it already

2:51 pm

Or you did enter it and the grid ate it. It has been doing that a lot lately

yes, nan & ru mentioned that today

Name that Monkee in the grid!

2:51 pm

I get that on every single grid. I end up entering a quarter of the words again. So annoying.

2:52 pm

Tork

2:52 pm

I thought the reason was me doing babble on the xbox one. It seems it is not just me then.

2:52 pm

*!*~*!*

✅✅✅ for molly

2:53 pm

How in the hell do you know about The Monkees. They were WAY before your time.

2:53 pm

Congrats, Nan!

it usually happens on the bigger grids with me, zooz

well done, nan

2:53 pm

suppose I should put some lunch together. Got the grocery shopping done this am so don't need to go out again till next Tuesday after Thanksgiving.

I probably saw every episode in reruns when I was a kid.

2:54 pm

Have a lovely lunch, Nan!

I need to head out to the grocery store soon. working on my list now.

per wikipedia - the Monkees were aired on MTV in 1986, so that is where I watched it.

2:57 pm

I don't know about you folk, but I am just so sick and tired of people who won't get vaccinated. Our provincial gov't has mandated that all senior home care workers and all nurses must get vaccinated or they will be put on leave without pay. Can't believe that some of the nurses are protesting this. What kind of nurse puts their personal likes and dislikes ahead of the welfare of their patients? They need to find a different profession! If I were ill enough to be hospitalized I certainly wouldn't want to be cared for by a "me first" nurse. (End of rant)

2:58 pm

I did not mind some of their songs. Did not enjoy the comedy series they made though.

3:00 pm

hagd everyone :)

agreed, nan. and healthcare workers have been required to get flu shots in the past, so why complain now?

zooz, I loved the tv show, but I was like 13 when I watched it.

3:07 pm

It was comedy I did not quite understand. A bit like faulty towers. I could never understand why people found it so funny.

3:18 pm

Fireworks. Toodle pip!

3:47 pm

i haven't seen the monkees but i did like fawlty towers - esp the ep with the german guests - Don't Mention the War!

3:51 pm

it's sort of bad of me, but i did love how mr fawlty battered the poor bellhop/waiter.

3:55 pm

i've also loved "A Bit of Fry & Laurie" and recently discovered another comedy variety show they were both on, called Alfresco, which also had Emma Thompson! these are on Britbox

4:01 pm

oh another good old one is 'Allo 'Allo, set in France in WWII - anyone seen that? so funny.

4:03 pm

i like fry and laurie together too. i've watched QI with fry which wasn't too bad. fry is an interesting person.well, laurie too. it was you who put me onto house.

4:03 pm

do you know the story about him auditioning for House?

4:04 pm

no

4:04 pm

he sent in a taped audition and the casting director or whoever, who had been frustrated with the other performances he'd seen, was like, "now there's a real American character actor!"

4:05 pm

wow! that /is/ acting.

4:05 pm

lol

4:06 pm

Fry & Laurie's 'Jeeves & Wooster' was terrific.

4:06 pm

yes, one of the few film versions of any book that FEELS very true to the books.

4:07 pm

although the constant changing of actors for the lesser characters was a bit annoying

4:07 pm

but that's my only complaint

4:08 pm

love anything, almost, pg wodhouse, and did like fry and laurie a lot. wonder if i where could stream it again.

4:08 pm

public tv maybe

4:09 pm

that and i can't find a poster to buy of that painting of Hugh-as-Bertie that his friend Corky made

4:09 pm

i have them on DVD mab, definitely a worthwhile purchase

4:09 pm

good idea.

4:11 pm

my only box set is the dick van dyke show, which says a lot about me... endlessly enchants me.

4:12 pm

oh i have lots. house, gilmore girls, friends, monk, psych, star trek (original), doctor who (2005-present), who's the boss, newhart, family ties...

4:12 pm

Stephen Fry was interviewed for a TV show here called The Meaning of Life. He caused ructions! He lambasted 'God'. It is well worth a google. A very articulate intelligent man.

4:13 pm

have watched gilmore girls a zillion times, adore monk, and must get dr. who.

4:13 pm

fry does seem to get into trouble.

4:13 pm

4:17 pm

i had tried co4 + fi4, since that made sense as a possible compound, but, oh well

4:23 pm

also if you have netflix and you like comedy, Derry Girls is a ri4

4:28 pm

i've never given derry girls a proper try.

4:29 pm

5:50 pm

5:50 pm

Oooh ok. I did already have it. Ty

5:58 pm

there was a ri4 in the spacetime continuum, leading to a ti4 that turned into a ri4, but the ch5 played the opening ri4 of a river song and they all floated away in a ra4

6:12 pm

Q, nicely done. But I'm still struggling with the 8s.

6:13 pm

Taking a break. I like to watch British people killing other British people. Vera right now. But can give recommendations for others.

6:58 pm

You can always count on Babble chat this time of night to bend your brain. Space time continuum?

7:02 pm

our instacart shopper just delivered someone else’s groceries to our house, and I want to know who is partying in our ’hood. a gallon of breyer’s vanilla, a squeeze bottle of smucker’s caramel sauce, a tub of cool whip and TWELVE 2 liter bottles of Pepsi zero sugar. That’s the whole order

those are my Pop tarts, Dan

7:21 pm

hahaha yep it's a lot of pepsi

Ive gotten weird un-ordered stuff on instacart as well

rehowdy. I'm back to not find my last 7 words.

7:23 pm

we've gotten random individual items, but never a whole different person's order

I've never done instacart. the stores I order from all have their own shoppers.

I try to call them back, then just take it to food bank

7:25 pm

actually instacart has a chat support that kicks in if you report a whole missing order and they called the shopper so we got our actual order eventually. had to pitch the dairy

mine was extra items added to the order

7:26 pm

hello all. any clue for the re6 that doesn't involve putting the garden hose away?

I don't think either of them involve that, but maybe you need the one that is a sound in a canyon again

hello hello ?

that word is visually odd

7:29 pm

I can't believe that that is an actual word (seems redundant?) and that at the same time the babble lords don't accept capping off the leftover wine.

IG, what do you think my missing lower F is?

agree, ellen on the wine one

7:30 pm

thanks, HC. I keep seeing the phantom word and the word that isn't accepted. Sorry about that.

Hi, Carla - clue me in again?

is that a clue?

sorry - which are you missing?

the lower F

7:32 pm

neither are clues. I was thanking you for your clue and your correction on the not-a-word-in-today's-grid.

lol, sorry. I was wondering if IG was trying to clue me. I got your post, but you had no need to apologize, ellen.

theres an F version of the CR5/12. if that clue is allowed

ah yes, didn't have either of those, thx

now 5 left - all 6's. will definitely have to list for those.
