8:07 am

i've been trying outlet all morning

8:08 am

8:08 am

gotta watch that movie again.

8:09 am

I need one more bottom O and one more top A to be halfway on each letter

I think you mean HOET, harry

8:10 am

do you have an ar6/18 knave?

8:10 am

yes - forgot the acronym :)

8:11 am

that should be an er6 knave, hursh

8:11 am

not sure hurshy - I do have an ar6/18. anyway, just got another A. now just need an O

8:11 am

but thx for that clue

8:12 am

no, it's ar knave and knight er6

8:12 am

oh shakespeare. ok. yes I have that :)

8:12 am

shakespeare's language is now ar6/21

8:13 am

oooooo, cool, i did not know that, hursh, a clue and more knowledge

8:14 am

ratlen: a rare bog.

I only have half the Ps.

8:14 am

8:18 am

woot

just on my 2nd tile so a long way to go to HOET

8:19 am

100 to go. gotta do some errands.

8:23 am

right col grey!

8:23 am

We got some good rain! Finally! Woohoo!

8:24 am

an 8! i found an 8!

boy, that is bad in KY/VA

8:25 am

what is

responding to une's rain comment. they have horrible flooding. 8 dead last I heard.

8:25 am

oh dear :(

8:26 am

don't hear as much from the climate deniers

it is the VA county above where I grew up (where all my family is), and then the KY counties right around there. So eastern KY and southwest VA.

8:28 am

Yes....severe flooding in Eastern KY.... :-(

8:28 am

Why is this a "climate" issue? We have drought and flooding every summer.

8:28 am

Not this extreme, Molly

8:29 am

everything weather related is more extreme now

you prob won't hear much about this anyway, appalachia never gets a lot of help or attention.

8:31 am

name that proper noun! a fastidious Friend

monica

8:31 am

ding ding ding!!!

8:33 am

The three worst floods in the US happened before 1928. We have had extreme weather-related conditions before.

8:35 am

while no specific event can be definitively "all because of climate change", we do know that the frequency and severity of storms are increasing on the whole because storms pick up more moisture when travelling over warmer water

I think the problem is every flood event is a 100 year flood

8:36 am

Which is why hurricanes are usually so severe around Bermuda, Florida and The Gulf States.

8:38 am

gosh, i see what harry means about this O

8:41 am

i found ox4/10 from there, what has everyone else found?

8:42 am

part of the reason there is so much damage is that there is more to be damaged --human built stuff is great, except it tends to displace nature's buffers.

8:42 am

also, hi, all

I only have ou6

hey jbp

8:42 am

ah, thanks hokie

thank you

8:42 am

Very good point jbp

8:43 am

well, bac to the salt mines for me, have a good day,all

8:43 am

ou7

8:45 am

ox6

8:45 am

there can't be both of those...

we've now listed 4, but there's 3

8:45 am

the OX 6 does come from the second columnO....

8:46 am

i don't have an ou 6 but I do have all those Os...

so does ou6 and ox4, so maybe molly meant ou6

8:46 am

Sorry, typo. ou6

8:46 am

thanks!

hey pen, sneaking in

8:49 am

been here for quite a while....and I did post earlier...

must've been before I got here

8:49 am

I don't get it. How can you have all the second column o words and not have ou6?

8:50 am

you made a typo and put 7 when you meant 6, and pen put 6 when she meant 7

8:50 am

duelling typos

is ox6 a word I should know? or related to the 4?

8:50 am

it is a compound word, hokie

oh yes, thanks

8:52 am

well. i just got a 7 that i did not expect would work

8:52 am

Now I am really confused. There is no ou7

yes, that's what pen was saying but typo'd, as guessed by hurshy

8:52 am

i know molly. that is what pen was trying to say. she saw your typo saying there was an ou7, and she was trying to say that she had no ou7, but she had all those O words. only she made her typo in the opposite direction.

8:53 am

Pen said "I don't have ou6 buy I do have all those words"

yes, and we think pen meant ou7, since you said there was one

8:54 am

i did mean ou 7....sorry...i had the ou 6 already....

8:54 am

I don't think that post means what you think it means. Inconceivable!

8:59 am

as??

as what? I have an as4

8:59 am

Sorry

8:59 am

as4 very similar to a computer code

8:59 am

as??...

9:25 am

a former player.. he hated NBT and such

ah

9:26 am

and the ox 4

9:26 am

and he'd say nasty things in the chat if people posted NBT

9:27 am

silly to get upset about things like that

9:27 am

I remember BR

9:27 am

Hello all

9:27 am

hi peri...

9:28 am

some people get worked up over the silliest things here.. it's just part of the chat

9:28 am

Hi Peri.

9:28 am

Like Facebook :)

9:29 am

9:29 am

hi Scrabbs, how's the grid going for you?

found a MS gambling town, but it is a real word

9:29 am

yes, sukee....

9:29 am

I have been popping in and out here, paying bills, and playing Lexulous words.

joey chestnut can ou6 everybody with hot dogs

9:30 am

I work at 1 and all weekend. Boo.

9:31 am

he sure can carla. it is disgusting how many

9:31 am

got it...

yeah, I almost get sick watching that

9:31 am

ty for help

9:32 am

I can't imagine how he manages to keep all the food down and not vomit at the scene

a "reversal"

9:32 am

I am doing laundry and I make do some cooking

9:32 am

My greatnephews saw the wild ponies on Assateague Island yesterday. They were amazed.

yeah, I noticed this year when they were interviewing him after, he was really pale.

9:33 am

reversal oh I see what you mean

9:33 am

that would be an amazing thing to see

9:33 am

he almost couldn't cut the mustard hokie?

i get Nat Geo emails and just read an article about the chincoteague ponies yesterday

9:34 am

The horses held up traffic for a bit.

9:34 am

or he got all jammed up inside

9:34 am

I'm guessing it was hard for other contestants to ketsup

9:34 am

no one relishes the aftermath

9:34 am

Chincoteague ponies are at the southern end.

yes, they actually call it a reversal in the competitive eating world

9:34 am

personally I think he relishes the attention

9:35 am

it's a dog eat dog world

9:36 am

you can only woof down so much

9:36 am

No matter what you guys say, Joey is the big weiner

9:36 am

...and I'm wearing Milk Bone underwear! ;)

9:37 am

Champ has a boner

9:37 am

he's wurst-hy

9:37 am

HA!

9:39 am

you can't shake a stick at that comment

well, even though I found that 8 a while back, it just occurred to me to make it plural for the 9.

9:40 am

i was wondering about that hokie

9:40 am

Okay well that gets the DUH of the DAY award

wondering if I tried it? 🤣

you should just assume not

9:40 am

wondering if you'd just stop at the 8

9:41 am

yes, of course

9:41 am

9:41 am

phantom cranial

9:49 am

9:53 am

Great. The other pa8 is an Italian singing directive. Jeez

My phantom is paranoia. Maybe telling me something??? Or am I just taking it the wrong way? (LOL)

9:57 am

you almost have the 8 and 9 there, girl.... ;o)

10:00 am

♪Sometimes I give myself the creeps Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me It all keeps adding up I think I'm cracking up Am I just paranoid Or am I just stoned?♫

10:02 am

clue for that ca8?

10:03 am

Ha HA Molly, You got it. (Thanks Penquis, found those though)

10:05 am

sorry, don't have it...

10:05 am

I have five more minutes to babble and I haven't found any O words. :-(

10:06 am

there are two ox words....and one ou....

10:06 am

Thanks penquis

10:06 am

yw...

10:08 am

Oh well. giving up. See you all on Sunday

10:08 am

85% done

10:09 am

bye, girl...

10:11 am

I never knew that was the last line to that green day song. I just always sing like "am I just paranoid? nanana"

10:16 am

gotta go.....bbl to finish...bye all...

10:17 am

bye pen

10:19 am

think I will go too. 67 left.

10:19 am

The ca8 ends in what you set with cheese in them to catch mice

10:20 am

Name that Proper Noun - French Playwright

10:20 am

glad I peeked back in, thx molly

10:27 am

i don't think i've gone to the list with so many left and yet had so few of them be fishy since i was first starting to babble!

10:28 am

no, i should say, ever

10:28 am

first starting to babble, there WOULD be more fish

10:28 am

there are just a lot of weird words today, is my point

10:29 am

Agreed.

10:30 am

Molly, tx for the mouse catcher clue!

10:31 am

i waited for that ca8 clue with baited breath

10:31 am

The ca8 is a plural. That is important.

10:32 am

it's kind of a cheesy word if you ask me

10:34 am

120 left. I need to get ready for work.

10:35 am

this is one tough grid

10:35 am

That makes me feel better.

10:38 am

I was going to do a bike ride, but then I went to check the temp and then I got carried away looking at flood pics, then I saw it feels like 97 out, now I can't decide what I want to do.

10:39 am

played some bee - I guess the editor sam never changed a poopy diaper

10:39 am

phantom: fontanel

10:50 am

ca7/36......clue please

10:50 am

ends with the mouse catcher

thanks Bea

10:51 am

yw

10:52 am

tyvm Bea

10:53 am

the a's are just brutal

10:55 am

Agree.

11:03 am

80 to go. that's enough struggling today - going to the list.

11:07 am

wow... got all the a's.. that was difficult

11:19 am

That ca 7/8 is new to me.

11:19 am

There is a clue echo in here

11:23 am

i barely have half of the sevens

11:23 am

jeezus

11:30 am

I have 6 7's

11:31 am

just took winston on a very hot walk

11:33 am

oh you get the tiara today hokie

11:33 am

ha! hadn't noticed (because I can't look in different directions)

11:34 am

almost have nutella

11:35 am

granddaughter had a Nutella cake for her 22nd birthday yesterday

11:35 am

I don't like nutella much. it's the hazelnut. hey diz!

11:36 am

hi Hokie!

11:36 am

hello to you all

11:36 am

hazelnuts will kill me

11:36 am

was the nutella baked into the cake or used for the icing or used in the icing?

11:36 am

hello dolly!

11:37 am

well then ruru, do not eat Nutella.

11:37 am

don't like it either but she eats it out of the jar

11:38 am

used as icing with a small jar of nutella on top

11:38 am

cute

11:39 am

quick poll: do you all say nut-tella or new-tella?

11:39 am

njt

11:39 am

nut

11:40 am

I say new

11:40 am

better go back to bed for more sleep. 2: 40 am here

11:40 am

mael, paging mael

11:40 am

yikes, good night!

11:43 am

thanks to the makers of this "'game"for making it so unpleasant that i no longer enjoy it and good bye all.

11:43 am

what's the problem sammy?

11:44 am

what's changed?

11:44 am

nothing has changed with how the game works in like 17 years

11:46 am

this is a tough grid for sure, I have 65 left and am basically just chatting now instead of looking for words. but the maker did nothing to make this harder.

11:47 am

these grids are computer generated randomly and the word list is the same as it was back in 2004 or so, whenever he switched from using the scrabble list to the enable list.

11:47 am

sammy has said this before, but I don't know what she means? nothing seems to have changed to me

11:48 am

yes, she says this every time she comes on, and I'm sorry the game isn't fun anymore for her, but it's the same game.

11:50 am

I think some people (myself included) get tired of searching for ridiculous words that no one has ever heard of.

11:50 am

well I guess we'll never know one way or the other

11:51 am

I do too, but it's not like they're adding new ridiculous words, it's the same list.

11:51 am

good morning everyone :) Accounting, housework and painters all done -- the weekend is mine!!

11:52 am

On another note, I just got my laugh of the day reading Will Smith's six minute, self serving "apology". Seems someone hasn't gotten any movie role offers for a few months.

11:52 am

wow

11:52 am

hey nan, better buckle up, this is a rough one

11:52 am

he deserves it molly

11:53 am

it must be like a slap in the face to him

11:53 am

🤣

11:53 am

No shit. Almost all the comments after the article were anti-Will. He has really tanked his career.

11:54 am

yes - I started it last night carla (nodding to your crown, btw) and still have 115 to go -- think I've found a lot of the easy ones - a lot of 6's and 7's left

11:55 am

I feel sorry for him -- he was between a rock and a hard place and was trying to stand up for his wife -- too bad he didn't find a better way of handling it. The show could so easily have been on the other foot

11:55 am

then he shouldn't have LAUGHED at the joke first before getting his wife's staredown

11:56 am

is rock and a hard place a joke too?

11:56 am

lol hokie

11:56 am

i caught that too

11:56 am

lol - no pun was intended but it does work

11:56 am

I just didn't know Jada was a hard place

11:57 am

she is for her lovers like tupac

11:58 am

I don't feel sorry for him. You don't stand up for your wife with physical violence towards a colleague. He deserves no pity.

11:59 am

everyone keeps saying he shouldn't have laughed, but sometimes people do laugh at a hurtful comment made in public just to pretend that they weren't hurt.

12:00 pm

I laugh at all kinds of things I probably shouldn't

12:00 pm

I laugh when I'm uncomfortable.

12:00 pm

exactly, Bea

12:01 pm

I do as well, Bea

12:01 pm

People in show business poke fun at each other all the time. (Hence the Celebrity Roast tradition) Smith's laugh seemed very genuine, until his alien wife glared at him.

12:01 pm

he's not a dumb guy.. if he took offense to the joke he should have said that was below the belt or something. Chris Rock had no idea she had a medical condition

12:01 pm

You all should have been at Chuckles The Clown's funeral.

12:01 pm

I thought chuckles the clown is golfing mostly

12:02 pm

even though that is before my time, I've heard of it

12:02 pm

maybe Chris Rock should have known better than to make a joke about someone's appearance -- that is not humour, it is ridicule.

12:03 pm

If you have never seen it, check out the episode of The Mary Tyler Moore Show about Chuckles The Clown's funeral. Comedy at it's best.

12:03 pm

I thought the joke was fairly tame.. he could have eviscerated both of them if he chose to

12:03 pm

The joke was tame. Smith overreacted.

12:04 pm

Celebrity roast was all in good fun and humourous comments between friends -- they were not ridiculing each other. Smith did not over react. Any man worth his salt would have defended his wife from such a comment.

12:05 pm

You can't say one form of ridicule is "all in good fun" but not another.

12:06 pm

While I agree that Rock didn't know about her condition, but the joke was in very poor taste.

12:06 pm

and the comment made was referring to a sensitive issue, and if you've been there, what she/they have gone thru is anything but pleasant...

12:06 pm

omg, I accidentally bought hot dill pickles and now I might die

12:06 pm

Molly there is a difference between making fun of someones idosyncracies and making fun of a physical attribute they can do nothing about.

12:06 pm

he could have chosen (Will) to do something else other than slapping another person in a public arena

12:06 pm

nevertheless, not the time or place to go hit someone in the face

12:07 pm

why, ruru --- the ridicule was done in a public arena

12:07 pm

i agree.. he could have shouted something like Chris back off

12:07 pm

I think Rock got what he deserved.

12:07 pm

To slap him was way out of line.

12:07 pm

Jada has a gabillion dollars. If she is sensitive about the alopecia, she can wear wigs. She chose to go the shaved head route.

12:07 pm

I just don't see it that way nan.. sorry

12:07 pm

he did shout at him, don't rem. if that was before or after. that was fine.

12:07 pm

maybe he will think twice before he opens his big mouth next time.

12:08 pm

not likely

12:08 pm

In the year 2022 we have adults engaging in violence to defend the honor of their woman? Seriously?

12:08 pm

I doubt it, that's what comedians do

12:08 pm

I will never defend or make excuses for physical violence.

12:08 pm

it would have been better if Jada smacked him actually

12:09 pm

yes, ru - that would have been forgiven

12:09 pm

odd, isn't it?

12:09 pm

the entire audience should have booed

12:09 pm

well, not because she's a woman but because it was about her personally

12:10 pm

exactly hokes

12:10 pm

maybe if that had happend Will wouldn't have felt he had to take action -- in a way, when you think about it, the entire audience was culpable

12:11 pm

and certainly, Chris Rock should have apologized to her

12:11 pm

I agree with Ori, that the joke was tasteless but didn't merit that kind of response

12:11 pm

well, they (the audience) also should have reacted to the slap but I think everyone was stunned.

12:12 pm

they should have kicked Will Smith's ass out of the auditorium immediately

12:13 pm

absolutely, security issue if they can't keep the people on stage safe from the audience

12:14 pm

He definitely should have been removed.

12:14 pm

Clearly, Smith is paying the price for his actions. Four projects that were in the works have been cancelled. He is yesterday's news in Hollywood. Hope the alien wife is pulling in good dollars at the red table.

12:15 pm

"Alien" wife?

12:15 pm

Oh come on you guys - for a slap across the face? They should have kicked Rock off the stage for being an insensitive jerk - and don't make excuses saying he was just a comedian making a joke -- that wasn't a joke and it wasn't funny.

12:16 pm

Again Nan, I do not condone or defend physical violence. Most people don't.

12:16 pm

I'd rather they'd both be paying for it, but Chris Rock is just going to keep on being an ass and people are going to keep on paying him for it

12:17 pm

you think a joke teller, no matter if offensive or not, should be removed but physical assaulter should not? come on.

12:18 pm

I agree that he could have just gone up on the stage and called Rock out for what he said, but It's not like he shot him or broke an arm incapacitated him in any way. I think a mountain is being made out of a molehill here.

12:19 pm

as do I with the joke, yeah, it was in poor taste, but that's what comedians do

12:19 pm

I would wager that that public comment hurt a lot more than that slap did.

12:19 pm

Jada and Will could have left the auditorium and that would have been a better statement.. and then Chris Rock would have had to apologize

12:19 pm

Would you think a mountain was being made out of a molehill if someone slapped you in the face because they didn't like something you said?

12:20 pm

would you think it was alright if everyone laughed and did nothing when you were attacked verbally?

12:22 pm

We teach our kids not to respond to ridicule with physical aggression. We can't go around condoning adults for doing the same thing. People get laughed at all thye time Nan. It's a fact of life. People pick on each other. Physical violence is not the solution.

12:23 pm

however, making fun of someone's appearance is not acceptable, it's bullying of a sorts, I'm not saying that the slap was acceptable, but in our father's day, they would have done the same

12:23 pm

maybe everyone should just stop watching the oscars and then the stars wouldn't be so full of themselves

12:23 pm

Jeez. No wonder there is still such a domestic violence problem in this country, especially from males to females.,

12:24 pm

now I like that idea!

12:24 pm

then maybe it is time to change our attitudes towards each other --- look at all the teenagers that commit suicide over being ridiculed on social media.

12:25 pm

we need to hold bullies accountable and that includes Chris Rock. I wish Will Smith hadn't slapped him because a) it's wrong to hit people and b) it moved the conversation away from what chris rock had said to what will smith had done

12:26 pm

I get so fed up with all the inconsiderate and "me first" attitudes that seem to be prevalent more and more often.

12:26 pm

that's what I mean Mael.. it would have been a stronger reaction for WIll and Jada to pick up and leave after that especially since he won the oscar.. that would have been the best thing they could do

12:27 pm

absolutely Mael. Unfortuneately not many of us think fast enough to come up with the perfect reaction in such situations.

12:27 pm

Maybe it is time we start teaching our children how to deal with people who ridicule them. This is nothing new. Visit any grade school playground. Kids are made fun of because they are fat, because they are skinny, because they were glasses, etc, etc

12:28 pm

Sorry, wear glasses

12:28 pm

no molly --- may it is time we start teaching our children not to ridicule.

12:28 pm

ok.. i'm with nan on that one

12:28 pm

me too

12:28 pm

agreed, nan

12:28 pm

People do teach their kids that. And kids do it anyway.

12:28 pm

morning all

12:29 pm

They are teaching children in school how to deal with bullying and making bullies accountable.

12:29 pm

sorry, I'm LOLing at the mental image of kids who are glasses

12:29 pm

people also teach their kids how to deal with people ridiculing them, molly, and yet it happens anyway

12:29 pm

mooo!

12:29 pm

hey hoke, we made it to Friday!

12:29 pm

109-64-32-21-4-1

12:29 pm

yeah, all kids talk about these days is bullying.

12:30 pm

is today Friday, moo?

12:30 pm

I have heard rumors that it is

12:30 pm

are those the winning mega million numbers, moo?

12:30 pm

I suspect not :)

12:30 pm

it's another tough one. 11-18-20-14-1. but I've pretty much quit looking.

12:30 pm

Would you teach your kids that it is okay to slap someone in the face if that person said something mean about them?

12:31 pm

anybody have mi7? it's my last word.

12:31 pm

harry stealth playing

12:31 pm

1:44 pm

but nobody guessed Monet

1:45 pm

isn't that who we've been talking about?

1:45 pm

manet isn't in the grid :)

1:46 pm

Pot manet --- monet did the water lily paintings.

1:46 pm

Pissaro is my second fav. impressionist

1:46 pm

i know, nan

1:47 pm

*not manet

1:47 pm

Monet is in the grid

1:47 pm

you said no one guessed monet, but that's who we were talking about

1:47 pm

the comment about manet was just an aside

1:48 pm

oh - yes we were talking about MOnet, I thought

1:53 pm

still don't see that pa 8-9 -- figure it has to start with the prefix than means equal part

1:55 pm

perhaps someone's deliberately trying to hide it from you nan ;)

1:56 pm

yep, that's how it starts - you might recall a saying, 'just because you're pa8, it doesn't mean no one's out to get you'

1:56 pm

(change the last letter)

1:57 pm

ty -- never thought about a noun vs. the adjective

1:58 pm

yeah, I initially thought I'd found the noun...then was disappointed, but figured I'd give the adj a try, and it worked

1:59 pm

still got 44 left on this one, has been a toughie

2:01 pm

53 here and taking a lunch break

2:04 pm

9-7-12-11-1 Feels a bit daunting

2:05 pm

certain types of cling films are saranic

2:07 pm

well, found my last 8

58 here

5 gray tiles

well, 9 counting the freebies

I mean 10

2:18 pm

8 greys, plus freebies

2:18 pm

13 total

2:29 pm

stuck with 35 to go

found one word

2:35 pm

This "found one word" thing is a real thrill ride.

yeah, just illustrating how horrible this grid is

2:36 pm

clue for cr 6/27 please

silly wabbit

that was not a clue

do not have that, nancy

2:38 pm

I agree with carla, grids are getting worse every day.

I didn't really say that, just a hard one today and several lately

2:39 pm

yeah but more and more words i have never seen before

2:40 pm

a couple have been fun in the last week or so but mostly frustrating and too time consuming for the most part.

2:41 pm

cr6/27...first three of baby bed + first three of what novocaine does to your mouth

yeah, I just quit when that happens. just doing one more run through right now.

2:42 pm

I agree with Nancy and SMom. The grids seem to be full of the weirdest words lately

there are some weird ones for sure but it's not on purpose

2:43 pm

ty Molly, got the cr

well, I think i have found 5 words since looking again, 1 thanks to molly & nancy.

2:52 pm

zero here

1 more, now 52 left

2:53 pm

we could talk about the bee. hit genius pretty easy.

2:53 pm

ooh, found a word

16/24 bee words

2:53 pm

3:30 pm

i am looking for the pa 8 right now, can u give a clue

3:30 pm

speaking (that is a clue)

3:31 pm

3:53 pm

nm

3:58 pm

I can't believe parallel isn't in there with all those Ls and Ps and As.

3:58 pm

i thought that, too...

3:59 pm

i just spent time trying to find my fours and i still have 6 that are hiding...

4:00 pm

through the list and got all but 4

4:00 pm

that was wishful thinking -- all but 15

4:01 pm

i am at 52 and close to listing....

4:01 pm

need that ac 6 that peri just found

4:02 pm

i have that....hard to clue....

4:03 pm

ac 8....most of gerund of a server serving a ball that his opponent can't even get his racket on....ends with the last two letters of an auto....

4:03 pm

well, it begins like a vehicle, a feline or a plot of land

4:04 pm

sorry...that is AC 6...NOT AC 8....

4:04 pm

mmm - begins with ca, so can't end with ca

4:05 pm

sorry - begins with ac

4:05 pm

i am talking about the ac 6....just clued it....

4:05 pm

yes, but I think you are talking tennis - a game I know nothing about

4:06 pm

ok....just make the start of AC into a gerund except omit the last letter...

could also be volleyball, any serving sport

thanks, pen

4:07 pm

I think the last time I played volleyball I as in grade 8

4:07 pm

yw...

or doing well on a test

4:08 pm

nan...look at my second clue for the first part....

4:08 pm

a brand of auto? name of an auto?

4:08 pm

i never use "auto" i use another three letter word....omit the first letter...

a more common word for auto, my name starts with it

4:09 pm

ah -- end of the auto -- got it - ty

4:10 pm

yw...we have seen it before here...

4:10 pm

new word and even the def means nothing to me

4:11 pm

4:19 pm

leather shoe…

4:20 pm

4:22 pm

Not getting the pa 8 and 9. I know the condition but dont see the ending i want. Hmmm

4:22 pm

adj ending...

4:22 pm

The right ending is either an a or a d. Hmm.

4:22 pm

Ok pen ty

4:22 pm

4:22 pm

you already used that A...

4:22 pm

4:25 pm

4:26 pm

I dont have any ar words beyond a 4. Would love clues for any. Ty

4:26 pm

4:26 pm

4:28 pm

ty pen

4:28 pm

yw...

4:28 pm

I know pen. And i am just not really getting it.

4:28 pm

ar + the blind use a white one

4:29 pm

4:29 pm

ok, I think I have that one

4:30 pm

4:30 pm

Ty nan. Super clue and i got it.

I would say it looks like a + dried cranberry minus a letter

4:30 pm

that too!

4:30 pm

are you still clueing the 7/32??

4:30 pm

ar + ru's state + most of without feeling

no, ac7/32

thanks, nan

4:31 pm

ty, nan....

never seen the singular before

4:32 pm

maybe it's me but the chat has been very confusing today...must be the heat...

4:32 pm

Chat has once again gone into disarray.

4:32 pm

Pen i agree.

I'm mostly following it

4:33 pm

It's not just you Pen. Too many people jumping in too fast.

4:33 pm

94 F here and still climbing

4:33 pm

can someone please clue the ca 8?....

4:33 pm

81 here and cooling....

4:33 pm

I should be able to pick roasted beans for supper tonight

4:33 pm

hah...

4:34 pm

ca8 is the plural of ca7, which is like a weapon, different.

ca8 is a pl - ca7 is ru's state + what you catch mice or bears in

4:35 pm

ty...never heard of that one...

4:35 pm

ca 7-8 combo is what I have: ru's state + to capture animals

join the large club

of course the dictionary link goes to an alt sp word

that I've also not heard of

4:36 pm

yup...

92, feels like 100F here right now, nan

4:37 pm

yes - same here

4:38 pm

Like a weapon?

4:38 pm

and 3 more hours until the sun goes behind the mountains

4:38 pm

supposedly an alt spelling

4:39 pm

i actually got the ca 6/7 combo with that clue...

4:40 pm

actually...6/7/7...

now I'm getting confused

4:41 pm

just ignore it...

4:41 pm

anyone have the ci 6-7 combo?

4:41 pm

think of the oc 7 whistle and drop the o, carla

I'm sure someone does, but not me (ci6/7)

4:42 pm

it’s a chemical term, with two spellings.

4:42 pm

no on the ci combo...

4:42 pm

that doesn't mean anything to me - chemical term about what?

4:43 pm

about eucolytol

4:43 pm

nm - even if I knew what it wouldn't help me

4:43 pm

eucolptol

4:43 pm

yeah right...

i'm still trying to figure out what whistle is oc

4:43 pm

lol - glad I'm not the only one in the dark

oh, a video game word

I already had that

4:45 pm

ceramic whistles usually in the shape of an animal or bird

4:45 pm

what is a video game word, the ci?

4:45 pm

not that that would matter to me either

4:46 pm

only reason I knew the oc whistle is because I used to make them for the kids.

no, the "oc of time" is a legend of zelda video game

4:48 pm

after my time, carla

4:48 pm

are we still looking for that ci 6 chemical word

4:48 pm

i am...

4:49 pm

found the clouds so not a totally fruitless search...

4:49 pm

extend the ci4

4:49 pm

been trying that seain

hmm, I tried making clouds

4:50 pm

with chemical ending

there it is

4:50 pm

just type it....ci 5...

4:50 pm

finally the right letters for the end :)

hmm, I have 3 ci4 to choose from

4:51 pm

same here....

4:51 pm

2nd one, carla

4:53 pm

looked it up....easier that figuring out clues from chat... ;o)

4:54 pm
