8:02 am

it wasn't quite poking me in the eye

8:03 am

I knew Ru would pop up when I posted that

8:05 am

just applying myself firmly to this grid

8:05 am

the semen-tics of the word is certainly arousing

8:06 am

Tx for ce8, Molly

ugh, there's a big C

hmm, not a log from a c5 tree

TIL ugli is a trademark of a fruit

8:44 am

TIL today I learned...for the abbreviation impaired

that's better than "I was today years old when I learned..." and yes, some people say that on the internet.

8:45 am

Name that proper noun, New York mustard king

8:45 am

gulden :)

8:46 am

People say a lot of dumb things on the internet. Like "I ugly cried" and "it gave me good feels"

hmm, I don't know any mustard kings

8:46 am

Ding ding ding! Mael wins a trip to Coney Island.

ooh, finished the 8!

and only have 1 7

where've you been, mael? traveling again?

8:51 am

just really busy with the kids and work! we went to HI for spring break and it was lovely

that's nice

8:58 am

I haven't been to Hawaii for decades

me either, as in never

8:59 am

we are so close to having cardiology...

8:59 am

And you have the short flight time

9:00 am

i know

9:00 am

just no one to go with :D

9:02 am

Most of the people I know who go there from the Right Coast fly to California, stay over one night and then continue on to Hawaii, just to break up the long flight time

9:03 am

it's five and a half hours from here.. I'd rather go to New York

9:03 am

we took the direct flight bos-honolulu and never again!

9:04 am

we will absolutely stop in san fran next time we decide to go

9:04 am

Dear God, I don't know how you did that with two kids

9:05 am

hear hear! for Ru going to NY

9:05 am

Not to mention airfare for four people

9:05 am

Wow, you would rather go to New York than Hawaii?

that seems crazy

9:06 am

in a heartbeat

9:06 am

culture over natural beauty

9:14 am

i'd pick ireland

9:15 am

Vancouver Island and New York are my favorite places to go... (New Zealand is # 1 on my visit list)

9:17 am

phantom: green

9:21 am

airfare was pretty reasonable when we booked back in november, not many people wanted to travel yet

9:22 am

I love NYC too but it's a completely different experience than standing on top of a volcano :)

9:22 am

yeah there were a ton of deals to hawaii for sure

9:23 am

lots of my friends who went had to stay in their hotel rooms for a week

well, 58 left but HOET, so I think I will get to work.

9:33 am

I would pick just about any scenic place (Ireland, Hawaii) over New York

9:34 am

Why did your friends have to stay in their hotel rooms for a week?

9:34 am

quarantine

9:34 am

I thought we were past all that

9:35 am

well he's talking about back when they went

9:35 am

there was no testing requirement when we went, but we also had friends who got stuck in their hotel room for a week back in January or so

9:35 am

we wouldn't have traveled in january, to be honest...

9:36 am

It seems weird that people would be allowed on an airplane but would then have to quarantine once they arrived in Hawaii

9:36 am

there was a testing required once you got to hawaii

9:36 am

Happened to my grandkids

9:36 am

but no testing requirement for domestic flights

9:37 am

they wouldnt accept the test from their family doctor

9:43 am

do6.....clue please

9:44 am

an old person who has dementia

9:45 am

Trump

9:45 am

9:45 am

tyvm hurshy...don't know how that eluded me for so long.

9:47 am

bottom row grey!

9:48 am

I never knew that word until I heard Paul Giamatti use it playing John Adams.

9:49 am

that's the advantage of preferring old books

9:50 am

you learn words that people may not use that much anymore

9:53 am

John Adams was a great mini-series. 13 Emmys, the most any miniseries in history.

9:53 am

once i was observing a third grade class, and they were learning about contractions. they learned that "i have not" could become "i haven't". and this kid asked if you could make it "i've not" and the teacher was like no, that'd be wrong. and i was like NO IT WOULD NOT! but i wasn't really in a position to say anything :(

9:56 am

When you watch shows about a time when language was different (and they do it right) you hear words and phrases that are no longer used. For instance, Abigail Adams tells her kids to "return to bed" instead of "go back to bed".

9:56 am

8s: i have ga, so... anyone got the other one?

9:56 am

ce

9:57 am

hmmmm

9:58 am

is it weird?

9:58 am

Yes

9:59 am

well then, i'd be happy to have a clue if you want to clue it

10:04 am

got it from MW

10:05 am

list time, methinks, 16 to go

10:17 am

well, my missing A words were fishy, but otherwise, not too bad

10:30 am

thanks for the 8

10:48 am

morning

10:59 am

rehi

11:00 am

hey hoke

11:02 am

just back from walgreens where the cashier wouldn't let me leave because she kept talking about how she wants to travel to Europe but doesn't have any money and won't get the vaccine so she doesn't know if it's required or not. I can't imagine working at a drug store being unvaccinated for anything.

11:02 am

vaccine choice isn't rational, it's emotional

11:03 am

wow that is a scary thought

11:04 am

I'm also surprised the company doesn't require it of their employees.

11:04 am

I suspect that they've had trouble hiring people, so either couldn't, or had to relax their standards

11:05 am

probably

11:05 am

this woman was also mid-60s and said her husband was early 70s, so right in the sweet spot for covid disaster

11:08 am

wish I could finish the first A

11:09 am

unfortunately getting vaccination moved from a public health conversation to a faith based one some time ago. It's an interesting mix with people on both ends of the political spectrum that are against vaccinations.

11:09 am

maybe you need some "help"

11:10 am

I have 2 help based ones

11:10 am

I wonder if they would travel to africa and get the shots required for that

11:10 am

there's also a 4 letter babblet

11:11 am

have that too

11:11 am

it's the one you didn't mention I need

11:11 am

and to put something on the backburner

11:11 am

or to put it a....

11:14 am

oh geez

11:14 am

first col gray!

11:18 am

now only 53 left

11:18 am

yay

11:31 am

57 left here

11:33 am

I made lunch, so no update 😁

11:33 am

52 now

11:35 am

hi all. I have stats for the 8's but cannot find any of them

11:36 am

I found 2 on my own so they are regular words

11:36 am

One is the pt of what a welder does….so 8….

11:36 am

and I just found the ga8

11:36 am

The CE 8 is not a regular word…..ga 8 is…..

11:36 am

well, the c one is not regular

11:37 am

hey pen and peri

11:37 am

Hey carla…

11:37 am

the C means horny, but not that kind of horny

11:38 am

ty for so8

11:38 am

CE 8 has a robot ending…

11:40 am

ce8 means horn like according to my scrabble dictionary

11:40 am

the link here says horn-like, horny

11:44 am

like a certain dinosaur :)

11:45 am

a tritops

11:45 am

yep

12:06 pm

well, made it to 30. still need 5 c's and g's but 3 or less everywhere else.

12:07 pm

I can't for the life of me find the ST7 and 8 - can anyone point me in the right direction, please?

12:08 pm

I have AN ST7, but do'nt know if it's THE ST7

12:09 pm

I don’t have any ST 7 or 8….

12:10 pm

I have all the 8s - no ST

12:11 pm

I do not have any ST7 but still need 8 7s

12:11 pm

And i need 6…

12:19 pm

There is no ST 8….i don’t have an ST 7 but I do have an ST 6 that ends in two vowels…

12:19 pm

And the 7 is a pl of that word…

12:21 pm

weird, I thought the 6 was a pl. thanks for both.

12:21 pm

well, the def is way off from what I thought. 🤣

12:23 pm

I thought it was a pl too….

12:27 pm

now just need 1 S from each to finish the top row.

12:28 pm

I need three Ss from the left S….

12:29 pm

Make that two… ;o)

12:29 pm

Make that one….you spurred me on….

12:38 pm

super

12:38 pm

The ones i have are almost all regular words….one weird….one seen before here….one stupid….

12:39 pm

Ah, ok - I thought there was an ST8 as well. I shall stop looking for one!

12:42 pm

Carla….did you check the answers for yesterday’s bee?….i am sure i don’t know anyone — including my great nephews and nieces — who know the word doxx…..

12:43 pm

yeah, doxx is very new word...not even sure it's in the scrabble dictionary yet

12:44 pm

Dox is in some dictionaries….not doxx….

12:44 pm

dictionary there is certainly a frustration for me

12:45 pm

I think the NYT is bending over backwards to get younger people playing word games….too much slang and not slang that is in general usage….

12:45 pm

It feels pretty arbitrary at times

12:46 pm

For sure…

12:46 pm

if you're going to accept demimonde...then there's a whole range or words. Dioxin, iodid, iodide etc just from yesterday

12:47 pm

Agreed….i tried two of those… ;o)

12:48 pm

they don't take pipping today...ings are a fraught area of course

12:49 pm

Tried that, too…

12:49 pm

I got stuck at Genius….five more words to find….

12:50 pm

I'm still at amazing

12:51 pm

I am sure you will get to Genius without too much trouble…

12:51 pm

I got doxed, doxx, and doxxed. just tried it randomly knowing how slang is allowed. but I missed some easy ones.

12:51 pm

yeah, I missed those, demoed and demimonde

12:52 pm

did not get demimonde and have no idea what that is

12:52 pm

oh and dino and diode

12:52 pm

Got to Genius yesterday but gave up on the queen….

12:52 pm

yeah, I always try dino here but miss it there because I'm used to it here

12:52 pm

It’s an old word that refers to prostitutes…..”half people”…..

12:52 pm

oh and modem too by the looks

12:52 pm

well half world technically :)

12:53 pm

I missed modem and a lot of other easy ones

12:53 pm

made it to genius and quit

12:53 pm

at amazing right now

12:53 pm

made it to genius just now

12:53 pm

Monde also means people in french…..at least it did in my house…

12:54 pm

oh

12:54 pm

Go, mool!

12:54 pm

yeah, I think yesterday is a perfect example of the randomness of the puzzle editor

12:55 pm

Agreed…

12:55 pm

definitely need to learn this dictionary...it's mostly a cut down version, but then they add some words

12:56 pm

too bad they have to use their own dictionary

12:56 pm

It’s arbitrary…

12:56 pm

need 4 pts for genius

12:56 pm

way more arbitrary than enable, which is really saying something

12:56 pm

Yes…

12:57 pm

just hit genius - 22 words. haven't checked how many total.

12:57 pm

looks like a need 9, will probably be content with genius

12:57 pm

well enable isn't really arbitrary, it was an updated version of the scrabble list, which was based on six US collegiate dictionaries

12:58 pm

I think it’s 31…

12:58 pm

I have 26 so far

12:58 pm

I stopped at 24…

12:59 pm

27

12:59 pm

24 now, will look again tonight.

1:00 pm

Same here…

1:00 pm

I feel gipped that gipping doesn't work

has anyone finished the i's here? still need 1 from each and am a bit baffled.

1:01 pm

34 left here

I tried gipping too, but that is a slur against the romani (sp?) so definitely not allowed there

1:01 pm

I also need one from each i…..

1:01 pm

4-12-12-6 so yeah...word

5-8-8-7

1:03 pm

Pennsylvania 6-5000

1:03 pm

5=5=10=4 here…

1:03 pm

Gotta go….bbl to finish….bye all….

yeah, I need to go on a winston walk. 75 and sunny today. don't have many of those days.

2:10 pm

5=5=10=4 is that the new math?

2:28 pm

That's common core math, Molly. Now illegal in Florida.

2:57 pm

rehi

3:01 pm

it's a pretty Mickey Mouse state Florida

3:15 pm
