Oh I thought for sure we would have a picture of grandma and the grandkids by now.
Aaaah - I must - but I have them on FB and whatsapp, not easily sharable here - I'll have to change my profile pic. I don't yet have one of me with both of them though
So glad you finally got over here to meet the grandkids, Matty. A really special time for you.
I actually have surprisingly few though
It really is! Even when they're grumpy (today was a bit fraught - I think Tilda has a bit of a cold - happily it doesn't seem to be COVID)
Hope she feels better soon 😊
Me too!
ooh, neato he7
Neato is such a Laverne & Shirley kind of word
hmm, i never really watched that show either
i may have picked it up more from the brady bunch
Oh, thanks. I had just managed to forget about that disturbing Brady Bunch photo Carla shared.
you open a 70s can of worms, you can't be surprised when stuff comes out
I must have missed that one.
all that was missing in that icon were the guys pants down
It was the most unfortunate pose
is Matty in Australia now?
why is "gila" not a word? it's an animal!
yeah that one has always mystified me
hila
Yes, she is ru.
fantastic.. i'm happy for her
Tilda's birthday was yesterday, I believe.
Yesterday, I put the tomato cages in the driveway near my peonies. Then I got in the car to go to the store and ran over the cages. I'm such a loser.
I didn't realize tomato cages were so expensive.. i just bought three of them
I think mine are salvagable.
you could hedge your tomatoes though?
I was going to put them around my peonies to keep them from falling over.
I just tie my tomato plants to stakes made out of long tree branches.
there's nothing worse than flaccid peonies
Yes, we like our peonies standing at attention
what's the 8?
he8
is it a compound word?
thanks!
.50
yes
ah got it
speaking of getting the mast up

ty champ - got it :)
*!* ~ *!*
That was the one! I never remember to look left. It's a failing!
hagd everyone :)

Good Morning all!
hey sophie
got it bichon, it's adj form of on old ad5, like look before you leap
Oh thank goodness you came up with a clue. Was trying to figure out how to get there...
hi folks
hey welki!
are you back home?
thanks for the clue, I'm still getting the easy 4 and 5s
ty carla
did you have a good birthday? I remember it is this month.
yep, just in time for a whopper of a snowstorm. managed to get the trailer back into storage before it hit hard, and before the owners sent out an email telling everyone to stay away *lol*
yikes
and i had a great birthday
ðŸ§
cute, Carla, I don't know how to do those....... what am I saying, I can't change my profile pic to my grand daughter,,,,, been refreshing since Sunday. Shows up on my profile page, but here it's still my doggo, Sophie
are you on a windows computer?
i see your grand-daughter, she's adorable
yes
you have to do a hard refresh, which I don't know what it is on windows but molly can tell you.
also, I think you can right click in the box and then get an option for the emojis but I'm not sure about that for windows either
ok, thanks, I'll keep trying
control f5?
I need to write that in my profile. I have the mac one in there. I did just do one and now I see your granddaughter instead of your dog.
just googled and saw a mention of CTRL F5 so I think welki is right.
my phone has Autumn's picture
your computer is just using what's in the cache, so the hard refresh will clear it
ok, thanks will have to come back later.....time for ortho appt hopefully time to kick off this boot!
ASDFGHJKL;'
good luck!
not getting the clue for the ad7. hi all
maybe someone else can give a better one, sorry
ok
Still here peri?
ad + a crone is an old h** + last three of what you do to and old rotary phone to call a number
ty Molly never would have found that one
I didn't get the adjective clue either
I like your icon Molly
little warmer today but in the 50's
And at least the wind is not howling
It has moved here…
oh, I'm sure I would've been yelled at if I did a spell it out clue for not giving a clever clue
bbl
Airdo….haircut in some London suburbs….
Phantom: foxtrot…
morning all
Hi mool…
hey moo
way past lunch time here
63 remain but I'm not really looking right now
Well i am at 47….just did a systematic search for my fours, but I still have 9 to find… :o(
oh, 23 4's left
Taking a break here…..gonna check out the Bee….
FYI, bloodflow is not a word
Good to know….bye for now…
bye
hey hoke, pen
well, I've found some words but it's pretty slow going today.
70 left here
almost larynx
I almost posted almost larynx
fireworks here!!
I did mention the almost giraffe
well done, dolly!
Congrats!!
nice one dolly...down to 45 left now

TOFOET ;)

gadar - a detector general anxiety disorder
well, I gotta get ready for a bike ride. 58 left for later.
enjoy the riding of the bike
thanks
the trails are open but I'm thinking it's going to be muddier than usual since we got 2" of rain the other morning
hello friends! wow, i'm in the grid today! Fo4.14, lololol
If Yoda is not in the dictionary, life isn't fair.
hi all. I have he7 but not he8
there is a wind blowing in here.
there are words I only know from having done the grid for a while (not to worry- I never finish) but I never looked them up.
Peri, earlier Beas said think boats for the he8
Which doesn't make me smart, it makes me a robot- or a monkey. Or a robotic monkey.
Or Bea, I don't know how she became plural
boats for the 8, hmmm
got it. thanks
It is a compound word
oh, THAT h.
I think If I were making up this language, I would make compound an actual compound word. Like cornpound, or compound.
what's the point of having a non compound word to designate compounds. Jabberwocky.
Cornpone.
I could do so many puns to clue this grid but it would give away too much. But much more fun than we say "third vowel, squiggle letter, sometimes vowel..." why not just say the word.
In the meantime, I am thinking of my favorite soap opera.
Ms Hart from Chicago is in the grid, and she should be a word, because her character was improper.
I mean Roxy.
I just had coffee, can you tell?
da4 of Our Lives. Sorry.
OK I murdured the chat. Sorry
I mean for HOURS
Hee hee
Lol, are you sure it was just coffee?
back from ortho and errands.... kicked off my boot!!!! Woo hoo!!!!
Great!
thanks, une
be back later thanks for the ship clue
oh, good news, sophie!
ooh, finally found the he7
Nice…
I made up two words and they were accepted… ;o)
great!
Always fun…
Well, not fun exactly…..satisfying maybe…
still not doing well here but at least I found the pangram over at the bee finally
I just made it to Genius…missing three words for Queen….
nice, that's a lot of words today
I only have 38 and need 4 pts for genius
Yes, didn’t think i would get so close…..Bs are hard…
I did finally find my 2 missing for bingo
A lot of fun unaccepted compound words there today….
like bloodflow 😜
If you go back later, you will probably make it to Genius….worked for me…
Yes…
yeah, I think I was just at nice before my bike ride
just tried safari here just in case
I am homeless for the night and maybe tomorrow night….work going on in my bathroom….staying in my neighbor’s apartment … she’s away….
oh no, hope they finish sooner
rasad
just found 2 words to hit genius
It’s the smell…..needs more than 24 hours to get it out….no window in the bathroom…..but i peeked and the shower/tub and sink look like new….
Nice!
Oink
Baaa….
who are you calling a pig, roundbarn?
Moo
Well i made another attempt at finding my fours and still have 7 fours to find….ugh….
I need to get something for dinner….bbl to finish….
Bye all…

moooo
hey hoke
38 here. the words aren't coming to me. 7-15-16
found a 4 :)
31 here....
uuuune
hey une
ooh, another 4
Howdy :-)
still have 6 S and 5 upper H. everything else is 1 or 2. except for 3 G
I have 2 H and 2 S
everything is 2 or fewer for me
that's why you have half as many as me to find
I guess so :)
oh, need 3 on the middle D too
oh, I apparently need 3 there, missed that
nm, need two on it now
and 3 lower F, geez, can I count
2 on the f
ooh, found a D
20 to go
diaria - when your personal righting just keeps going on and on
writeous
darig - the thing that daoil comes out of
found two fives
are these words that normal people would know?
forsil - something that came before fossils
no, not really...though they are relatively common in babble
hmm
frigade - a group of warships
ooh, a 6...which I should've had before
do you have the y finished?
yes
I have no ideas left for that
5/6 combo I'm guessing
another babblism
ya?
or yo?
ya
did you make queen bee?
no, missing some words still...at genius
yeah, made it to 46 words and genius
ah, I'm only at 40
my first word was the longest so far
well, I just discovered I need 3 L's here too.
oh, 1 L needed here
you got the pangram first thing or I'm missing a long one
yeah
hello....back for my last 34....
oh, found an L4
I assume you mean the word that uses all tiles when you say pangram
pen! I'm still behind you. 36 left. not seeing words.
16 here....up to 42 at bee
yes, it goes away fast but when you find it it says "Pangram!". at least 1 a day, sometimes more. and uses all tiles.
hi mool, carla....
and if you peek at the hints which I know you won't, if it is a 7 letter pangram, it is called a perfect pangram.
found three more on bee
can the pangram be more than 7 letters if it uses each letter at least once (not asking about today's puzzle)
haven't gone back to the bee.....3 words short of Queen still....
I just had to challenge you
yes, PJ
yes, PJ...
heh
thanks - just curious - I get the paper version on Sundays.
ah, so a perfect pangram doesn't reuse any letters?
yes
okay, well I didn't get a perfect one then
my first word there was a 9
sometimes there are no perfect pangrams...but there is always at least one pangram...
they you probably got the pangram...
yes, I think a perfect one is rarer
yeah, it's definitely got all the tiles
ooh, found a 6 I should've had
46
you've tied me, but pen has 50!
on the bee?...
yes
nice pen
yeah
yes, missing three...
47
I have tried befowl and befowled more than I care to admit
heh
i tried that, too....not the same foul... ;o)
to give chickens to someone is to befowl them
is ar 6 a normal word?
exactly
48
no
do not have, so I'll guess no
it comes up occasionally here
alternate spelling of a more common unusual word
ty...
LOL
49
Need ar6 too......
still 46 there and 35 here
what is the points for the ar6?
ar6/24
I can't believe boffed isn't accepted
Found it!
ok, typed in a guess for the ar6 based on the points and your clue but I couldn't see it in the grid and it is there.
to turn into a boffin
and after you've boffed someone, then you might be able to deboff them
I don't think that's what boffing someone means
heh
still 16 left here
winston has a foodbowl. or maybe a feedbowl. neither accepted.
ooh, a word...15 to go
2-7-4-2
go, mool....
that's a lot of 5s
yes, more than i have left....and i am at 25... ;o)
not as many as my 15
adagia - a feminine adagio
the fours seem tough in this grid...
only 2 of those left
lot of plural 3s
still have 5 4's
i assume you have ad 7/40.... ;o)
and I have looked!
ah, there's a 5
ah, no
but I do now
good...
13 to go
layor - the hen in charge of the whole coop
like that one...
perhaps the layor is a leafhen
ooh, a 6
hotfail - what this board is becoming
lol, it reached that point for me hours ago
maybe it's because I have headrot
I might be insane because I keep trying the same "words" over and over and over
maybe you, too, have headrot... ;o)
mr. homie said my ADD was in full force when I was cooking supper. FTR, I have never been diagnosed with ADD. 🤣
I think if I could just go to sleep at night it would help a lot.
12 to go 2-6-3-1
now getting a headsag
0-1-4-2 here...
still 49 on bee
but i am working with the list...
ah, 50 words
almost giardia
yes, but giardia isn't on enable! I have complained before.
you only need three more, mool...
perhaps they got the vaccine
48 words for me. just trying to past tense everything right now.
good tactic
there are a couple silly words....
yeah, some odd ones
there is a giardia vaccine?
I thought so
hadn't heard
well there's apparently one for dogs and cats
mr. homie is patiently awaiting a norovirus vaccine.
he's been infected with norovirus then? ;)
winston gets a leptospirosis vaccine but the vet has never mentioned a giardia one. he will definitely drink out of streams.
well it sounds like it's newish
he gets hit hard by stomach bugs. no idea if he's actually had norovirus.
sounds like you might be the one patiently waiting
can someone please clue the ar 6?....i am tired of looking for it...
one of his friends in college got giardia on a trip to CO and was super sick.
kinda like rubbing oil AN word (not in grid)
but alt sp
ty...i am done...
wp
still 12
nice, pen
still 34
ooh, a word
well i listed at 32, i think....
made it to 49 at the bee
go, carla!
nice!
I am also watching soccer right now, so that might explain my super slow pace. or it's the headrot.
ooh...found a word at the Bee....
cool
wow
multitasking here too
was supposed to go to trivia tonight, but there was a fire nearby, so opted out
ditto...
like a wildfire?
yeah
about 2 miles away
oh, hope they get it controlled soon
ah, 51 here too
ooh, found a 6 here
yeah, they did
apparently I need to past tense everything here as well
pt and plurals...easy to miss them all
gotta catch 'em all!
oh, thought that was pokemon
it is
well i am heading out....goodnight, carla, mool....*waving to the lurkers*....
later pen
I've caught a good number, but not all of them ;)
bye pen!
just hit 50, by making another weird past tense
Still 51
couldn't resist going back to the Bee....52 now....
still 50. I have no idea how there could be anything left.
nice, pen
i am too competitive for my own good, lol....
52
the last word I got was lame
my last one was an E word i should have seen earlier...
would not be acceptable here
I don't think
yeah, I question many of these
I think all my words are good...except this one
think I will do the sudokus to clear my head.
leaving for good...bye....
maybe it's good...hmm
still lame
ooh, found two words here
9 to go
30
18....
18....
nice, une
16....
I am going to throw in the towel.
