ni 8. nbt/nbs
ta 8 - Hebrew word
Hasn't MILF found its way into the dictionary yet?
liking this grid so far - mornin, Babblers
somehow, I knew I would get the 9
You said it, so I got it! Weird timing.
spooky
:)
I always try Nerf - maybe someday
and Nerfier
Good morning, IG and Champ.
I knew you would be here, Scrab
I had to get all of my chart ready for the day first. Work before play is my mantra.
* charts
wasnt the 9 a TV show? Never saw it
Stat?
ME 9/60.
Hint?
Psychic
I vaguely remember that show, didn't last long
TY
Hi sukee
Morning
I passed halfway and must get ready for work. Enjoy the day.
good morning. not seeing either of the 8 letter words
help with lower E in right column please
me neither.
oh NM
sea bird.
I know, got it ty
time to go to work. 54 left
That's because the 8 letter words are whacked
clues then?
ni8 a person who styles with a certain black metallic alloy
ta8 is a VERY variant spelling of a Jewish prayer shawl
ni8 what a stupid word
well at least the 9 isn't so bad
it's a show and everything!
dont know why we arent allowed back of a fish!!
The only back of a fish I know is dorsal, and it is not in the grid.
think some of us might need a bit of help with the ta8 Molly, just not seeing it
i think she means ta4 + fin
thats it Hurshy
ta8...not short + vowel + first three of cartoon Homer's last name
ta8 = not short + not you + *** city was a popular video game thing
ta8 - starts with Spem in Alium composer
what the heck is Spem in Alium
ta8 is the prayer shawl with the hebrew plural ending
The back of a fish mentioned is two words, not one
yes meatball, but that doesn't help many people
Spem in Alium - probably the greatest piece of Renaissance music ever written
Never heard of it
ah got it only because I wondered why composer wwas allowed- proper noun
and I only knew that because we had a local school named after him
Google it. It will blow your mind. tinyurl.com/ycxf574h
Oh thank God. Someone who actually uses tinyurl.com
tyer
sorry
was going to say Molly appears to have put a stop to conversation
off to lunch Good luck folks
There isn't very much conversation here anymore. It is just a long list of clues and how many words people have.
that's how molly tends to put a stop to the conversation :)
hey all
just got back from getting an mri, fun times
We had a good conversation here yesterday
I thought so too, bichon
what was it about?
red states and blue states
and the state of the united states :)
It started out about book banning and then turned to Democrat vs Republican.
And the happiness of living in CT and MA
well, new england is a nice place to live in many respects, not least of which is the absence of mega-weather-events. usually by the time hurricanes get this far they are weakened, which just leaves sometimes blizzards, which are also usually not that bad as long as you just stay home.
and no earthquakes, volcanoes, that sort of stuff
and have a snow blower
What earthquakes we have up north are very mild
yeah that's true, older people can get heart attacks if they try to shovel a lot of snow
no people having guns in schools,and atms
only problem this year was the damn drought, which unfortunately will probably repeat in the future
it's nice over here
well i mean sandy hook was in CT...
so we're not immune from the gun violence
Yes, true. A disturbed individual.
Well, we have it in Canada too, although not on such a large scale.
that's just proof that we need more stringent gun laws even in our blue states, honestly. And we're not allowed to have them at this point, thanks supreme court
because gun violence is a nation wide tragedy
mael, you and I should get together.
If you compare the population of Canada with the population of the US you will see why our scale is larger.
You need a national law, because people can just go to another state
per capita, molly?
I am talking per capita, Molly
Mr. B bought a gun without asking me (((((. This was in 1973. Eventually he got rid of it.
But our gun laws are stronger than in the US, but people get guns from the US
my husband owns guns too (that's what growing up hunting in northern NH does to you...) but he's a very responsible gun owner and supports strong gun legislation. And those guns are locked up in a gun safe in our barn.
it looks like canada is down to under 2 gun deaths per 100,000 people while the US is 12-13 per 100,000
(2019 stats)
so 6 times as many
per capita
There are a lot of factors that go into comparing the two countries and gun violence. Amount of people, access to affordable mental health care, gun control laws, etc.
and a higher percentage of the deaths in Canada are suicides, not homicides
well yeah, problem is the US has none of those things: 400 million people and little access to affordable mental health care and law or nonexistent gun control laws
all you have to do is look at the date on gun violence between states, the ones with better social safety nets and stronger gun control have fewer gun deaths per capita
and yes, bichon, we should get together :)
Our cities close to the US are getting worse in terms of shootings but as I said, they smuggle in guns from the US
And it doesn't help that the NRA was trying to influence our elections.
We also need much better mental health coverage so people go to get help before they turn to gun violence.
hmm, i am missing a surprisingly large number of 4s
The state of the Republican party elected officials certainly highlights that mkg.
Switzerland has a very high percentage of gun ownership and very low rates of gun violence. As Molly said, there are a lot of factors at play.
that's the social safety net part
and also the gun ownership in switzerland is HIGHLY regulated and directly related to compulsory military service
the chocolate calms them a lot in Switzerland ori
lol
That explains it :D
they do have excellent chocolate
got to run, bbl
I can't say I've ever had good experiences in Switzerland besides the chocolate and the raclette :)
raclette?
Exactly. It is regulated there.
raclette is a two-layer heating device
the lower level has little trays that you put cheese in and it melts
Maybe all the yodeling calms the mental stress
the upper level is a flat grill on which you can grill veggies and meat
then you put the the meat and veggies on your plate and top with the melted cheese. i've had this with baked potatoes.
it is yummy
Some poster here from Scotland used to talk about raclette all the time
fondue
Isn't raclette also a kind of cheese?
essentially fondue, yes, but with a specific kind of cheese
yes, raclette is the cheese and the method of eating the cheese :)
Lillian...I think that poster from Scotland's name was Lillian. She used to refer to her daughter as "the bairn"
bairn is such a sweet word
this grid has teeth, ugh
I think so too, mael.
I thought she was from a part of Britain where they spoke like Scots
I chatted with her about how much I liked bairn
she had a good sense of humor lillian
oh found the 9
That was the second word I found :D
smartypants
😊

only one 8 here so far
top row and bottom row done though
the top N is giving me trouble, I just have a 4
hi, everyone
gm welki
hey welki
One of those N's is a 6 that goes with the 8
thanks molly, looking now
oh I got the 9, hooray
well, I've got two left and it's those two Ns... a hint, please?
ni + beginning of woman's magazine + vowel the 8 is someone who ni6's
The other top N sounds like Viking Erikson's first name
thank you, ru! I never ever would have gotten those otherwise
