We can relax on dry roads.

Im doing some landscape work here today, adding top soil - combatting erosion
FE 8/9: add bits to the cheese
I was grabbing breakfast.
Erosion can cause big problems.
I found fe8 and 9.
the house sits 30' above the lake with a retaining wall; the soil tends to ooze out into the water over time
now Im hungry
One of my sisters has a brook in her back yard. Big storms turn the brook into a river so they had large boulders placed along the banks after Hurricane Ireen in 2011 and again this past summer.
good idea (except for having to transport boulders)
They hired a civil engineer and excavating company...very expensive. But once their basement flooded so the work needed to be done.
found SA 8 and 2 nines
Do you recall which S?
make clean, i think
I got them, TY!
I need one more 8.
theres a plural ST 8/45
weird word (s)
I will search later. I must get ready for work now. Enjoy your day.
Ok, bye
wow fun grid! got to 90 remaining and hoet, except for that darn P.
ah greyed the P
hello all

good morning all
hi peri
st8/45 please
no idea
I have st7/9/8
ah, I have those now
but there is another st8
yes, I don't have it either
bbl
st45 is a cargo landing stage in the north of England ,given to us by the Vikings
:O
phantom: defeat
little mim, you are one well-informed cookie
i am still trying things for that
I went there last year :))
that would help
if it is 45 points i think it must either use the D or the H, because the P is a bit out of reach if we start with st
stathion seemed so plausible
but alas
I GOT IT!!!!
Brill
creme
phantom: potato
phantom: tinsel
I tried tinsel last night
Weirdly at this time of year I didn't think of tinsel, I tried potato though
I didn't see potato but that's only because I grayed the P
ha! found a made up st8 last night and just now found the regular st8
Hmm...I found those words as well.
Seasons Greetings from CNN. They aregetting ready to lay off a LOT of people right before Christmas. Humbug to them.
down to 56. very slow.
Along with a 9
oh man, I need my fingers to warm back up before I can type. The wind is howling here in MA, just got back from putting the kids on the bus
bah humbug
molly that really stinks :(
very windy here too and 37F, so I imagine it's really cold up there, mael.
yeah, it's nippy
wish I could find my one F and one H
aw, eat your wh8 isn't accepted
yeah, I tried that for the pennies, which you've possibly never seen
I don't think so!
Carla do you have the 8/9 combo for F
yes, thanks bea
mael, google wh5 penny
that th5,18 stole too much of my time, ugh
no pothos?
hmm, don't have that
I don't even see the tiles to make those points
There is a hint in her comment, hokie.
ah. thanks ori
it's an excellent pun
:)
I guess my two missing Fs are the 9/9 combo then
8/9
can clue if wanted
any guesses on my missing F?
just the second letter, maybe? please and thank you
FE
all the rest are normal, there's two 4 babblets
thank you
a couple past tenses
it's prob something like that but I've checked several times
I have fa4,5,6,4,5,5,4 and fe4,5,4,4,5,4
and fo4
uhoh, that makes it look like there's no list today
maybe it is the fe5 that we just had last week.
is this an accurate conclusion to draw?
I haven't looked for the list yet, sorry. I dunno
I don't think so, I think mael was just offering it up
morning all
there's a list hursh
it's annoying when you're missing a little one :)
but there are some problems with her list🤣
are there? crap! I thought I'd typed it up right lol
maybe that one bea. the fe5's I have are normal. can you elaborate? I don't remember one from last week.
shit, yes. It's fa4,5,6,4,6,4,5,5,4
It was the holiday last week.
I have three f5s and they are all normal or plurals
ah, we had it in wordle last week?
yes
well, it was the last fa4, and the reason I didn't try it is I know I typed it last night. so annoying. I had at least 5 yesterday that weren't there even though I know I entered them.
always happens in these big grids
guess I will double check all my H's then too
got all the vowels, hooray. That's usually the hard part :)
yeah, vowels are hardest for me
and finally found those Fes, thank you. Just monkeyed that one...
the right side O is a bit of a mystery. only have 5.
ooh, just saw some!
excellent! one pass on the Os for me today, they jumped right out
wow. I did one pass on the D and the O under it.
any clues on the last A? I have aw5 but not the other
aw 5/18
have that one
no, it's aa4
it's what you'll say when you see it :)
well, duh I didn't read her whole sentence. Sorry Kiani
*sigh* ofc
:)
that's the one I needed, thanks. looks so obvious now.
lol, my last 2 N's were those darn babblets I always miss.
Thanks.
they might be my new nemeses
thx for that nudge hokie
34 left now - 6-7-13-4-1-3

good luck, mael
well, I'm going to do the other games since I'm stuck here. adios, amigos.
hi...can I have a clue for the sa8 pls?
sterilize from germs
ty drom
For those of you who watch Good Morning America, turns out your co-anchors are a lot more than just co-anchors. Too bad they are both married to other people.
huh?
Page Six says the co-anchors are having an affair
I don't even know who the anchors are?
that'll boost their ratings
I tend to take things like that with a grain of salt
it is a bit spicy
And the funniest entertainment news blurb I have read in a long time...Jennifer Lopez wants to make a sequel to Gigli. I can't stop laughing.
seriously? she does know it flopped, right?
To say that woman is delusional is putting it mildly.
i feel like it is the most famous flop... at least in recent memory
yes, feels like it overtook Ishtar
she probably wants to because she & affleck were in it together and now they are married
ok so they can like make a home video sequel and not waste money trying to inflict it on other people
yeah.. that worked out for kim kardashian good call hursh
that is probably funny but i have no idea what kim kardashian did, i don't follow celebrity news enough to know
no one know what kim kardiashian did
She made a sex tape
a spicy home video
<---not that I've seen it.. just heard about it
really? and then peppered the internet?
oh yeah.. that's how the kardashians came to be
that's one way to curry favor
I truly don't understand their popularity. They are really disgusting people
I concur.
I have never gotten their popularity either.
would love to finish this H because then I'd have the whole column gray
i'm really stuck
Hi ruru
hello to you all!!
hi Hokie!
hello dolly!
I'm really stuck as well, ruru, but probably with more words left than you
now I'm just entering everything again just in case
I'm pretty stuck also. I haven't even gotten 1/2 way on all tiles because of the e in right column.
I have 5 there. the one EW and the other 4 are ET. no idea what the last one is.
Ok.. I just monkeyed enough to have it. So nbt and nbs and 1/2 way on all tiles! YAY!
Thanks for steering me to et
woot!
I only have 12 on the H
72 words to go here and 20 of them are fours
btw, whoo is not a word, no matter how many times I try it
Yikes!
Hokie, did you get thru the H's?
no dolly, still need 1. and I think I've tried everything.
hello all...
hi pen!
But stopping a horse is :)
Hi pen
yes, and spelled correctly, not like the internet morons of today
pen!
carla!
have managed to gray 13 tiles (excl the freebies) but need so many words on the remaining ones.
big grid....only grayed one here...
so Hokie, does that mean you take back when you said last night that this might be an easier grid? ;) lol
nope, it's still way easier than yesterday's
lol
looks easier, but I just started...
today's are more common words
I have 5S, 4B, 4S, 2T, O, H, E, 2L, 4S, 7W left. 5-6-12-4-1-3
any ideas on my 2 L's? not too many directions there so it's a little baffling.
don't let that H trip you up , they are all common words, you're probably missing the ho 6
i figured out your missing h hokie
ooh, do tell, ruru
do you have ho6/24?
I have 18 on the H now
nope, will look, thx ruru and dolly
I have that H
it's an adj but looks like a verb :)
i figured out your missing L too
good morning everyone :)
I had not heard of that la7 before
well, feel free to share that too while I'm still trying to figure out this H
hey nan
good morning nan
gm nan!
it's really twisty hokie if that helps
hi nan...
hi nan, and all
Really? All the H's are common?
I feel like I've tried everything...
yes, if not in vocab they are common here
do you have all the scottish ones?
I believe so
and the hurried ones
the animal foot and it's pt?
*its
you know I'm down to 38 left, and they're all s's and t's lol
That was it! Thank you. fish slapped
I'm going to have to look up that H. can't get anything to work for those points
It's a pretty sweet word hokie
Yay...bingo on the middle column!
you'll always bee behind on it if you look it up
that stings Ru
she could be the queen of the grid if she finds it
ah, thanks. did not see that coming.
had to get the hive mind working on it
We were all abuzz about it too.
now that LA7...is there a 6 or 8 with it?
if it had a g in it.... you'd be struck by a whip
4 corners and middle square grayed out lol
weird that it has the pl end but not a word without
There are a few words in Babble like that.
oh, had tried all around that, thx for the tip
but now I still have 1 L
it's just never enough hokie :D
I know, get busy guessing my other one, ruru!
la and a facial feature
argh, thanks. we've seen that before.
28 left!
8 tiles open so WPT is 3.5
I have 98 left
ooh, found my last O
what's funny is I kept trying that as an E word saying, I know that's a word
what does WPT mean carla? asking fora friend
I hope it's not your last o
geez, my last E was a 4 babblet
haha, it is words per tile
ruru, you so cheeky
oh ru
or O ru?
WPT now up to 4.3
Iwhat does the WPT mean? Is the 2175 the total of the grid?
words per tile. I have 6 tiles left and 26 words, so my WPT is 4.3333333
ohhh. I thought it had to do with points.
I still have 17 tiles that are not grey
So my WPT is 5.7647
to be more precise I now have 5S, 4B, 4S, 2T, 4S, and 7W
i'm missing one s to close out that letter
and FTR, I found the set of alt sp tapeworms all on my own today and still need 2 T's
which S, ruru? 13 of my last 26 are S
no idea hokie.. haven't listed
Carla stays awake nights making up new acronyms for this game. It is her obsession.
nope, they just come naturally
LOL
didn't have the tapeworms - ty
I meant which S tile...that should be obvious without the list
For her they are acronorms
I'm glad you don't have tapeworms Nan
ha
I don't think I know the tapeworm..
ps, there are 3 if you only got 2
Do a Google search on "crossword tapeworm"
not even sure how to clue it, m9
One ends in a Latin plural
Ah.. I didn't think of crossword. I just kept getting cestoda
Ah! I HAVE seen that word. Just never looked at what it meant :)
ta 5 babblet - ending rhymes with ms. FArrow
st8/45 did not get the earlier clue
That I recall
*ta 6 babblet, sorry
peri, st + what a robot has to make it "think" + most of plural of this
have no idea
What? You didn't get the cargo lading clue? Neither did I
I didn't see the earlier clue and have no idea how to clue it, sorry
no worries I will go to the list some time soon

man i am crawling through this now
my baby carrots froze in my fridge
I've been crawling for hours

just saw it right then and thought, surely not.
just found 2 more w's: wh 5-7 combo
I just want my one T
I'm sure it's something I already put in
starting over...
legal just makes me think of WR words
But now I know that waesucks is a word! Fun

And I am already tired of the dark early thing. Although I found out something today that made me grateful for where I live. At this time of year, it gets dark at 3:30 PM in Norway. I would be clinically depressed.
