Merry Christmas everyone!
I don't have a single 7 yet...hmmmmm (happy holidays everyone - be it Christmas, Solstice, Hogswatch - take your pick!)
Aaand - I just found a 7.
anyone have a clue for the gl7?
Sadly, that's not the one I found :(
well, heck Matty! LOL
Don't lose your he4 over it though ;)
it's probably a babblet
I cannot see any way to make a gl7 offhand!
gl 7 - the dictionary took me to nitroglycerin. Gl 7 followed by misspelling the vegetable that makes you cry
That did it, chris - thank you!
thank you Chris. weird.
and if you google it you can buy it.
Good to know. The perfect Christmas present :)
tadone! Merry Christmas to the folks Down Under and those across the date line. Merry Christmas Eve to everyone else!
Had to look up Hoswatch. Not a Terry Pratchett fan.
Some people are, some are not. I am. :D
To be sure, we don't all have the same taste in reading material.
I mean, some people like Chuck Tingle (go and look that up - dare you. Double dare you ;) )
Okay, I could have lived the rest of my life not knowing about that. And I really don't want to know why you do.
He was nominated for a Hugo award a few years ago! (I've never read anything of his, for obvious reasons, but I am pleased he exists)
NTPN - Coffee brand
folgers!
Indeed!
don't know about it being the best part of waking up, though
i think waking up is the best part of waking up :)
how's your ankle, bea?
NTPN....the dwarf...hello all....
My ankle is constantly grumbling at me. Sometime it roars.
bummer...
I have an ortho appt the first week of Jan.
good - i hope he can fix you up. foot pain is awful - i had surgery three years ago and it was worth it
so pen, other than making up new names for them, i can't find him (the one with squinty eyes, the one with lofty goals, the lusty one...)
this one was the father of Gimli....
(and one that wouldn't put me in the pb - the pitiful one, neady)
ahhh, wrong story!
and he is not one of Snow White's friends!
Hi all I have gr8 help with other 8 pls
Peri, sorry about yesterday. How did I miss that you don't celebrate Christmas all these years? I hope you enjoyed Hannukah.
no worries, Molly
sorry, peri...don't have it yet...
Lord of the Rings is like The Bible when it comes to who begat who
not being a jerk, but serious question, isn't it who begat whom?
node
oops
hello all
hi...
Hello, lindy. In laws there yet?
**Goes to the bad grammar corner
no, my hubby is off to get them but they won't be at our house until supper time
he is taking them to the hotel, we'll picke them up in time for 4:30 pm church, then come here
how are you today, bea?
I hope their visit goes well. Just take deep breaths.
pray I don't bite through my lip
I'm doing well today. Need to get started with the Christmas Eve lunch feast.
tosses aslindy a set of those big wax lips - keeps a smile on your face and prevents biting through lip
ooo what will you be feasting upon?
thanks, welki!
I love those wax lips when I was a kid. Do they still make them?
beats me, peri
just googled them and yes they do still make them :-)
They do
so next babble get together, we should all wear them
yes!
love that idea....;o)
We are having ribeyes, potato stacks, green salad, asparagus and/or brussel sprouts, coconut creme and pumkpin pie for dessert.
sounds delicious
i want to eat at Bea's....:oP
Good morning, word nerds.
After the meal, we will go out and set luminaries up and down our block.
hiya scrab
hi scrabs...
oh, that will be lovely, bea
everyone in the car! we're going to bea's!!
*getting my coat on*....
hi scrabs - no work today?
I will cook Xmas dinner for my mother: ham, baked potatoes, baked yams, roasted veggies, stuffing, and rolls. Pies were delivered a few days ago.
oops, guess not, it's christmas eve
Yum, Bea!!
I usually have Fridays off for me. I am off Mondays for mom. Yes, nice schedule. Pre-retirement schedule.
2.5 years to go?
happy Christmas Eve all. Today I learned that teflon is a trademark
Yes, welki, Sept 2024 is my goal.
I was going to try that one too, dan.
Hi Dan
I made biscuits this morning to go with the Honey Baked Ham my nephew and his wife sent. Good stuff
MMM!
sounds yummy....
Yummy, Molly!
i love biscuits
I had forgotten how good those Honey Baked Hams are.
I usually make my own honey glazed ham for Christmas day, but not this year. We are having rotisserie chicken, already cooked just needs heating.
when i was a kid we used "grody" as a synonym for "gross", but i guess it never made it into the dictionary
we did, too, hurshy
already tried it, even though I knew from a previous grid it wasn't in there. grody to the max!
Yes, we used that word too.
I must get on with it. Leaving 100.
bye bea, merry christmas
Bye, Bea.
bye, bea....hi carla....
hey pen
Speaking of leaving 100 (which makes me think of Judi's bucket) where the hell has Judi been?
haven't seen judi
I guess I would've spelled it groty - don't the british use grot to mean rubbish? Anyone else read the fall and rise of Reginald Perrin?
I remember seeing it on stickers in stuff in the 80s spelled grody. and it was for gross. not sure how the valley girls came up with it. and I have not read that.
ha - the American Heritage dict agrees with your spelling, grody. but for grot the urban dictionary cites Reginald Perrin lol. A good book, and BBC did a miniseries that was quite faithful
taking a break...bbl to finish....bye all...
Bye, penquis
the g are so hard, that's why i mentioned it
yeah, I only have 10
bye pen (I know you're still here)
I keep trying gloin
me too!!!
and we can't make all those gonef gonif words
hi Hokie!
good morn to you all!
dolly!
name that proper noun! hansel's sis
gretl
or gretel
ding ding ding!!!
rasta, recall that awful poem--a garden is a lovesome thing, god wot? it uses grot as a rhyme, meaning grotto.
hey, found a G that's a regular word
one of them is g + cry veggie
well that is weird
pretty much all the other ones i have are normal though
same
still have 5 tiles under half and 4 of them are vowels.
Hello Round Barn! How are you?
Hi all
Hi mkg
howdy
now just need the single N for HOET
Don't let the light on that sign blind you, Carla!
oh FFS, thank you
Single N is intense light.
HOET!
two noble gases today, and where's Harry
my hogwarts house's animal is one of the words today :D
phantom nosegay
I found a Wisconsin Ba6.
oh, thank you
hi, scrabler--I am fairly ok but learning to live with old age--being a toddler in reverse!
that is the word!
Any clues for bottom row O word? Ty
past tense of an interjection
Got it. Ty
Missing the 8s and 9 if anyone has clues and stats. Ty
ha, just looked. I don't even have any 7s, so can't help
same here
oh i have some 7s
Yes, RB, my mother is 90, mentally sharp, but her musculoskeletal system is weak. I need to take her for her CoV booster on Monday so a walker and a wheelchair will be used.
so you and your mom are experiencing it.,Scrabbler. I think abt my own mom, how I could have done more if I'd known more. I do watch you, Ru, some others on chat. Sometimes I see Rasta, my daughter, like today, and recalled the poem with grot!
Oh gee, i also have no sevens. Well lets hope we get some.
I have no words bigger than 6.
gr7 is a slightly obscure word for a VIP
RB, aging is difficult.
ooh, GR8, regular word
and when Henry VIII doesn't like a wife, sometimes he be7 her
behead
Hahaha. Free clue! Merry Christmas.
thanks
Good scrabbler. And plural is a 7!
Thanks.
mkg, I think you have some GR8s
My first 7.
my first 7 as well. not seeing the obscure GR7
95 le4 and I am done. It's a cooking and laundry day.
i found a gr8/9 but no 7
wow, how did I not get the 9 ðŸ˜ðŸ¤£
gr 5/16 + double vowel
thx, bichon. I had the first five and then never thought of that for last 2.
thanks bich
yvw
For 7: add plural to the be 6 put in grid as an xmas gift.
so now we just need to find the other 8
yeah, I don't see it called at the flip
Got gr 7 but not the 8/9. Looking
i will never have a gr7 because i don't have any kids in the first place
i meant GR8
gah
Ok great clue. Ty hurshy
Got the 8/9, ty hurshy
if you tell a white lie couldn't you call that a sinlet?
50 left. think I will break.
Any clues for the o words 5th column ? Ty
one of them is a smell
i haven't got the other one
Ty.
ob5 is the other
Got it.
thanks ru
(still here) is that a word I should know? have surely tried every combo of ob5 possible.
it looks hebrew to me, not a normal word at all
ok apparently it is: a form of belief involving sorcery, practiced in parts of the West Indies, South America, the southern U.S., and Africa.
finally
Hebrew? I dont think so.
yeah it isn't, but it just looked that way to me
Defi8nitely not Hebrew
Well i am not getting it. Ob 5 what please. That will help me.
it just reminded me of things like a seah of flour, you know
Got it now. Ty
Looking for 98 more words.
looking for five here.. all g's
Merry Christmas, ru.
same to you bea.. hope you all have a wonderful day tomorrow
It will be quiet. And I'm planning on sitting in my recliner all day.
I'm meeting a few friends for lunch and then taking it easy it's nice to rest now for me
all my presents have been received and appreciated. I'm totally relaxed now
It's a great feeling.
it sure is.
in some cases drunk already :D
cost me well over $700 to ship to everyone.. but it's worth it
i wish I could send stuff to Canada.. but it's not allowed
Can anyone put me and the TE8 out of my misery, please?
two phones getting married te8
or one phone paying the other a stipend for divorce :D
weirdly, that clue worked - ty ruru
:D scary dan
what an odd word, thanks
ha, just walked in and got the other 8 thanks to ridiculous clues
Hmmmm....teledivorce, nah, that doesn't work, dammit
long distance pain - te8
or feeling someone's pain from far away
ooh, just finished the B. when has that ever happened for me without a list
the opposite of telecstasy matty
That's how would have clued it.
I like how I just reworded dan's clue 🤣🤣

I have a new acronym too --- LSATTPB

LOL
I was wondering if you tried YOLO the other day, Carla.
i don't have stuff for dinner for tomorrow and I don't think i want to brave the stores to get some..
Smart move Ru. The stores are INSANE today.
I went to WalMart this morning. Don't think I've EVER gone on Christmas Eve. It wasn't that bad. And 0 in line at the check yourself out line!!!
Another vote for sending acronyms to the penalty box. Lets all be big boys and girls and spell out entire words.
Something tells me Ru can always throw together something amazing with what he has on hand.
Eggs always work for me.
Eggs can become quiche or a frittata or (mmm) eggs benedict.
I really can toss stuff together pretty easily
but it ain't gonna be a traditional xmas dinner :D
We will just have a stir fry or fried rice dinner tomorrow.
snowing like mad here right now - hope it lets up so we can go and get our lobster
I need to whip the cream. It's been naughty. =)
Until tomorrow...
bye bea - Merry Christmas

I don't do YOLO, bea
Beat the eggs too! they were with the cream!
beat them till there are stiff peaks
