my cats know English. Whenever I see a squirrel outside and the cats aren't around, I say "squirrel, squirrel" and they both appear from wherever they are to jump up on the window sill:)
my rilla knows "scoot"
dont you mean "height challenged" Hursh
My last one also understood "out"
there aren't even any Ls in the grid, IG!
One of my cats knows "go to your place" for feeding time.
:)
fritz knows "go to your room and think about what you did and do not come out until you are ready to NOT PEST MARILLA"
lol
now if I could get one to stop eating the other's food...he is getting fat, the other one is skinny.
i just shut them in separate rooms to eat
I have to watch them or one will eat the others food.
I have one scarfer and one grazer, so the grazer has a feeder that only opens for her chip
This top row is a bit troublesome.
nice mael
That's cool.
I thought about getting those chip feeders but not sure they would use them.
the scarfer manages to brute force it open once in a while, but she is a Maine Coon and therefore a big goon
they work really well for us
maine coon, big goon
I love Maine coons.
foundation of a poem right there
should be in the breed description, to be honest
she's our big dummy
Funny, I'm sure my little guy is part Maine Coon judging on his ear tufts and his huge paws. The scarfer is black.
He is more of a brat though.
our old lady is a russian blue, she would never stoop to stealing food or scarfing haha
Wish I had time to recount the problem with my 2 cats since my sweet 12 year old boxer passed away on Easter morning. You guys seem to understand cats.
aww, I'm sorry maggie
losing a pet is one of the hardest things
We lost our last boxer in the spring. I understand.
They are both female ... 13 year old tabbie (large) and a 9 year old black one (smaller). They started fighting viciously and have stalked out there own territories.
Have you talked to your vet about the problem?
Left her a message but haven't heard from her ...
try again, they might benefit from some anti anxiety meds
sometimes when the balance gets upset like that it can cause behavioral issues
Phantom entetain
Entertain sorry
mine have never ever gotten along but there's no vicious fighting (just regular hissing and smacking at each other)
will do thanks Mael
wow, I tried the 9 on a lark...
and all the 8's I'm finding end the same way
I held back earlier on "who let the cat people out?"
This place is 80% populated by cat people.
Never been a cat person. 100% dog person
I thinks thats obvious, ditto
I am a dog person too but the older fur babies have all passed the past 2 years ... the cats were my husband ballywack and we have been going thru an arduous 4 year divorce ...
nothing against cats, but they never seemed to like me
4 year divorce.. you would have to just shoot me before I would go through that
What takes four years to work out, divorce wise?
if it's contentious it can take a long time
I know several divorced people and I don't remember any of their divorces dragging on that long.
mine went for almost three. i can see it.. i just would hate to go through four years of it
Also depends on the state you live in.
I rather concur ... things like a felony stalking charge, state police escort me and stand guard to all hearings, COVID delays, change of venue ... it goes on and on. Yes I own my family biz which was created by my paternal grandfather. Ownership was gifted to me long before I knew my husband.
oh jeez maggie. I am so sorry
Sorry I should have not revealed so much ... another hearing coming up in 2 weeks.
sometimes you just have to vent. Good luck to you
I can't even imagine what all that is costing
Rather numbing with the costs
I hear that.. mine was pricey and we were both working towards it.
does anyone have the en8 I can't find it
Ends like not drier
Long version of the restraint word
i am lost.. i can't see it
shackles and chains ru
yikes finally found it thank you molly and saanich
wow.. the r's are done but were difficult for me
Wait, he gets shackles and chains but not restraint?
I was bound to get it eventually
You threw me off with not dry
Well, it does end like not drier. I didn't say not dry
I was fit to be tied :D

1st pass done, no HOET, bbl for last 53 - have a great day all - poof

hey hoke...I'm not an aries
I know. I don't remember when your birthday is but I think it was maybe summer.
got it!
yep
awesomesauce
it is not anyway :)
well, I'm definitely not on HOET for my first pass
HOET and 60 to go after the first pass
nice
64 left here after first pass
3 tiles without half
tried entertain just in case
it's not there
ha! those worms didn't outsmart me today
bottom row gray, 36 left after 2nd pass. still no HOET!

one of mr. homie's favorite belgian beers in here
fat tire
fat tire is made up in Fort Collins :)
found 2 words and now stuck stuck. 2-6-3-4-8 EE iiii AA H RRR TTT B FFF D A A R
there's one in Asheville too 😜
just like sierra nevada
Of course there is :)
they're HQed in Fort Collins then...New Belgium that is
we haven't been to it yet. were going to go with our belgian friends last year or so but it was too crowded.
on the NB website looks like Ft. Collins and Asheville are the only 2
That would have been interesting, Belgium makes some pretty funky beers...New Belgium a bit more mainstream
adwear - branded clothing
is oskar blues near you? we also have one here in brevard in case you ever bring that one up. 🤣
yes, I can bike to it
though they got bought about a year ago by the company that owns Cigar City
we biked to ours from a campground, but a smidge far from our house
Also Lefhand (if you're familiar)
Wibby is a little further
those we don't have AFAIK
Avery is a longer bike ride, down in Gunbarrel
yeah Lefthand is a bit spotty in availability, I'd see it occasionally in Florida
moreso around Chicago and the midwet
20 to go 4-5-5-3-3
yeah, I'm not a beer drinker so I have no idea what is available here
still 23 but I dried my hair some and didn't look for words (lol, like I would have found some).
well at least you have dry hair
1OERT
that's 1 of every remaining tile :)

at least you have dry-ish hair
any ideas on my middle col A?
missing one on that
A E R I A H R T B F T D A A R W
it's not a one who does word no matter how many times I try it
or arena
actually, found it
i have at 8 from that A....
yes, the 8 I just found
hmm, thanks pen. will look
and hi pen
hi mool...
carla....you will have to eat your words in a recent post... ;o)
been focusing on getting every tile down to one, rather than completing them :)
hmm
i am focused on getting anything i can....
well I was trying the wrong one, attirer
15 to go 3-4-4-2-2
thanks
middle col gray!
heh
yw...
2-6-3-4-7. this is like the best shape I've ever been in on 6s but the 8s look quite daunting
almost all the 8s I have either have a prefix or suffix on a word
I still never found that i8 bea told me about
just found one of those that i did not know was a word....
I do have an i8 that is a bit odd, but still follows my statement below
yes, that is the one i just found...
I assumed it did but I've tried all sorts of stuff
well, I think I'll make lunch. BBIAB
bye, carla...
enjoy
ooh, found a 6/8 set
I'm eating some cheese and crackers right now and winston keeps trying to force his head toward my plate
never seen a dog that loves cheese this much
my brother had a cat that went crazy over cooked carrots....didn't like any other table food...
winston will eat pretty much all food except for raw veggies and fruit.
he will sometimes eat banana and watermelon, but not always
hi all, medium tuff grid for me today
hey aloy, I've def. found it tougher than yesterday's
hi aloy...
oh yes.. yesterday's was a breeze by comparison. Stuck at 40 left now
hi pen
have made it to 20, but it's been very slow since about 40
38 here and a little stalled...
wouldn't a really loud noise be a de6er?
i tried that, too...
too bad taffeta has two f's
there's really a lot of phantoms and almosts today
lol, found a bunch by using the "er" extension. Didn't look closely enough first pass
yes, mool said that almost all of the 8s have a prefix or a suffix...
ty, will keep in mind
hasn't helped me much, lol....
yup, that held true for fa8, pen
glad you mentioned it
just tried ROFL at the bee 'cause you never know there
hah....yesterday's was pretty easy...haven't checked today's...
yeah, I missed 2 yesterday
i was tired...quit after genius, i think...
just hit amazing today, so prob won't even get genius
are you both subscribers? I tried it out yesterday..
i am .... have been subscriber to the crossword for years....
yes
I play as well.
ok, am debating if I want to spend any more time on addictive word games, lol.. love em
Wordscapes has a tournament every weekend and I try to contribute for my team.. takes up so much time
aloy, call them or open a chat and tell them you'd like to try the game sub but were wondering if they had any deals. I got a year for like half by doing that.
ooh, ty hokie
I think what actually happened was I said I would do one month so I was paying the monthly rate and then tried to switch to the annual but there's no way to switch so I did a chat to cancel it so I could re-sign up and then they offered me the cheap one. so you could always go that route.
but I'm willing to bet if you just ask they will give you a better rate. that's how subscription departments work.
You should ask. I got a year for half also.
ok , good advice ty both
i am stuck at 30....need a break...bbl....bye all...
bye pen. still stuck at 20 here.
bye pen.. down to 8 and stuck here too
have to come back to finish, incoming "work", eek.. bbs
bye
still 13 left here, but have been doing other things...not including making my hair dry-ish
ok, am back.. stuff to take care of with State Farm. Everything is on line nowadays. Hubby in Fla. and he apparently filed a claim, used my phone for reference as he rarely has his on..
hey aloy
hi mool
yeah, I had to file a claim a couple of months ago after a guy ran a red light...all new process for me
ouch.. you ok?
yeah, did just under $3K of damage to the car. I was turning, so managed to stop quick enough to basically just get him in the side and send him for a spin
he was apparently checking his phone for songs
so sorry..
well car is all fixed now, no lasting issues so fortunate
had my daughter and her friend in the back seat, so could have been far worse
but the whole insurance process (with his company) was all remote
did video, photos..submitted through their app and everything. Did talk on the phone with an adjustor tho
our claim is Ian related.. not good news but could have been a lot worse. Place is a mess with sadly huge old oaks on the ground... so we are just starting the process of getting some repairs done.
ah, really sorry to hear that
Glad you're okay though. When I lived in Miami for 8 years I was fortunate to not have to go through any hurricanes
yup, they sent me a link to do the downloads. Hubby will not be happy as he has been dragged into the digital age and doesn't like it at all.
my MIL (who lives in St Augustine) was actually out here with us when it hit
I will say even back in 2016 my insurance rates in Miami were ridiculous
scratched my way to 10 remaining
rehi - where's your place, aloy? I forgot.
and I'm sure they will go UP again.. ugh.. we both were in Ohio when Ian roared through Punta Gorda. Hubby flew back to survey damage and is trying to tackle things one at a time.
ouch, that was near where it came ashore...how far from the coast are you?
at least the power is on, amazing
yeah, that's good
that is pretty remarkable given how much of Florida's power is above ground
we are a bit inland from the coast but the eye went right over our road
yikes
Too bad on the oaks, the live oaks are one of my favorite trees
my friend that has a house at Sunset Beach, NC was out of the country and her husband just went and checked yesterday. she said nothing was flooded but all the screens on their porch were messed up.
Where the house and pool cage are concerned, Charlie did a lot more damage than Ian.. but this one changed the landscape and it doesn't look the same to say the least..
yeah, the live oaks with the spanish moss are my faves
we need lots of heavy duty saws and front load tractors
I bet
crazy wind. it was like 1 or 2 mph under cat 5, right?
My wife went through Andrew...that one destroyed her house
right.. a strong Cat4, so was Charlie
any dw words? just phantom dwarf?
have one D remaining...but none yet
yeah, I remember Andrew, was the costliest at the time IIRC

hi all. I have a question about internet connection. hopefully someone here can answer.
we were at disney during Jeanne, maybe 2004? my parents went with us and my dad was a bit worried, but a) orlando had just been directly hit 2 weeks before by another so what are the odds? and b) it was one of those that kinda changed last minute so they really weren't sure which way it was going. my mom still talks about how they put all the pool chairs down in the pool to keep them from blowing away. that is pretty ingenious.
probably moo is your best bet, peri. and hi!
when I move to my new apartment I will not have nor do I want cable. I will just need internet connection so that I can p lay babble, check email etc. I will also need it for my kindle and fitbit. What should I do?
I do not want to pay for cable if I do not have it
well, that is the same setup I've had for a while, do you know your internet choices?
We have Spectrum internet only, peri
verizon, comcast
like I've had at&t internet and spectrum internet only.
Depends, there are typically two types of land line services: Cable company (can just sell internet too) Phone company (can just sell internet connection)
do either of you have cable
I do not have a land line phone
no, I haven't had cable in years
If you have 5G phone service at your new place, you could also potentially use that
nor a land line
I don't have cable
you can do a search for internet in your city/area to see if there are other choices...
I actually get my internet through my city...it's an unusual situation though, they ran fiber to a good portion of the city
I know comcast is a cable co but have never lived anywhere it is, but so is spectrum and they offer internet only, so I bet comcast does.
5G would be more than fast enough, and you could potentially then either get a 5G hub, or even use your phone to create an internet hotspot
i don't have cable....i have a landline and internet plan with the cable company....i only pay about $32 (including taxes) for both....wish the internet was a bit faster...
if you don't have 5G (and many places don't have real 5G), then I'd recommend cable/phone and just get their internet service, you don't need to buy their channels or landline if you don't want it
so I can just get internet with a cable company
yeah, you definitely get faster speeds by paying more
yep
ok thanks
do a search to see if there are more options....we have several options in our small town area...
I had Xfinity (Comcast) before I had my city internet, and before that in Florida I had AT&T internet
I forgot where you are, any google fiber there? I had that for a brief time.
so you're not watching that hit series about someone who is really someone else in a past life haunted by their image in a mirror and in prison that is really not a prison? It's season 16 number 8...
Oh yeah, GoogleFi is also an option if it covers your area
yeah, I'm in the boonies in my new house & had choice between AT&T and Spectrum
waen
why can't I find my last 2 4's?
inmyarea.com will show you who provides internet in your area, though you will likely have to go to the provider's website to make sure they cover your street and building
