(that is what my a7 below was supposed to be, Gillie! Gah! Thanks!)
I don't have any A7s, btw. A typo. Or a ypo in this case
well, I am so close to HOET, but there's always a pesky vowel
I was a little surprised it hadn't been called
HOET!
di7/8
Just realized there is no "N" or "R" in this grid. Thankful for th 4!
mi7 x 2
Well, the long "as" and "di" words are eluding me, but I guess I'll leave it for now - 44 left
well here I am with 97 left, have the tens...maybe tomorrow
b a
Are the 10s 'normal' words, please (and good morning all!)
Not at normal as they used to be ;)
but yes..ish
Would it be safe to assume they begin with the aftermath of a fire?
no
interesting though that they do have a fire relationship but not that one
Ah, ok. Looking!
Oh wow. It's 1:37 am where I'm at!
poiking at the grid while going down YouTube rabbit holes...
am so not seeing those long AS words. It's 9.38 here, I'm part working, part Babbling, part chatting with my daughter in Australia
I was actually on a jury once for a case involving the as words.
Ah HAH!
You found them?
I now have the 8 and one of the 10s. Thank you!
And I think I'm about to get the other
And indeed I did. Thank you!
You're selcome! They're very similar
I sat on that stupid jury for a month and then when it was time for deliberation was informed I was an alternate and had to leave. And it was higher court in a different town and I had started carpooling with an older gentleman on the jury, so I had to hang out in downtown Tacoma at night until they were done!
Oh, that sucks! What a pain :(
right?!? And I had a baby at home at the time... Ah well. I did my civic duty.
Did you ever find out the verdict?
Now I get called EVERY year, and EVERY year I have to excuse myself because it's ALWAYS for Jan-Mar.. or thereabouts.
and I"m a tax preparer! LOL
Every year?! That's not fair! There isn't a thing where if you were called last year you have x amount of time before being called again (I mean, obviously not, but still)
Oh yes. It was the family of a man that died..against Philip Morris, and some others...
Because of exposure he had earlier in his work lfe... And he also smoked, and was out golfing up 'til just weeks or days even before he died, at a ripe old age. They decided with the companies and not with the family.
There just wasn't enough evidence that it had caused a real issue for him.
But we got to hear from a lot of interesting experts.
Ah hah - in the UK, You can also ask to be excused from jury service if you’ve done it in the last 2 years.
Poor guy!
Well I haven't done it in many many years. I've told that woman that I talk to when I excuse myself that they should call me at a time other than tax season!
I'm watching an interview with Steven Fry...
It's keeping me up. LOL
Oh, he's a national treasure
Ha ha.. that's what the description says.
I am not surprised. The British LOVE that term
I could listen to him blather all day.
But he says all sorts of interesting things. So it's even better.
It's from 7 days ago.
Ok. It's over. I need to get to bed! I hit over 1/2 way on all tiles and nbs, so I'm ok with leaving it for tomorrow :)
g'night!
Sleep well!
Loving this grid so far!
Ooh - snake-haired lady (thought that was a proper name?)
there is a Babbler with that name.... If she came on today, she would get the tiara. IG, I fear you will be waiting a long long time before you get it :-)
maybe I will shorten to IG just for that tiara
There's no IG today though
but probably soon - just kidding, tho
I've had the tiara a couple of times. It made me far happier than it should have!
still amazed Champs name hit the other day (yesterday?)
Me too. I was delighted to see that she came online to see it.
S's are tough today!
The AS8 and 10 words would be uncommon but for the endless legal ads on TV
hoet! 72 left. hagd all!
Bye Harry! (how did 1/2 of every tile become a thing; just thinking outloud)
clues for the as 8/10 pls. Cannot find them
got em
hmm, legal, eh?
ahhh
I don't see them
they aren't legal terms as such
they are a substance that is toxic that people have had lawsuits about
ty hurshy
i was about to do a name that proper noun for the greek legend of the lady with scary hair but it counts!
phantom: misuse
that's a lot of B words
The Enable nerds were afraid of the wrath of Me6 if they didn't include her.
well i know people can be called "an apollo", so maybe it's like that
It's a fish, literally
ahh
It's used with reference to a phase in the jellyfish lifecycle, I think
The definition says it is a jellyfish
a lot of 8 words and i have only got 60 to go and I've only got 1 !!
name that proper noun! where the Dalai Lama is exiled from
phantom gusset!!
Tibet
ding ding ding!

Good morning.

anyone have the other 10?
they're nearly the same word
ohhh
i didn't know there were two as10
silly me, though, i should have gotten that
i think it even flashed through my brain and i failed to do anything about it
what about other 8s then?
They are asking on a news program here what is the Christmas song you could be happy to never hear again.
mariah freaking carey
lol
I like that song when sung by other people.
aw I actually like that song
I could never hear again - Grandma got run over by a reindeer
I'm still debating. One song I think is played too much is Silent Night, for some reason I don't like it. But, I think that is just due to overkill.
ooh, or Elivs' Blue Christmas (I'm not an Elvis fan, and that song is just... )
One song a lot of people don't like which I love is Paul McCartney's Simply Having a Wonderful Christmas Time.
i think mariah carey one is the only one i hate
I bought the Elvis Christmas album once and I didn't like it at all.
i wish i'd been in the right generation to marry bing crosby
i'm not much for xmas songs
although idk he may have had issues like so many celebs
I love the song Father Christmas and the Pogues FairyTale of New York, those are almost anti-carols
he wasn't nice to his kids
i never wanted kids
And Boney M's Mary's Boy Child, I have to listen to that every year.
me neither hursh
Anyway, so far this year I have listened to very few Christmas songs.
what about fav xmas song? Gotta say, You're a mean one by Thurl Ravenscroft is pretty superb
i just invented a new "disease"... i have sitosis ... i sit too much...
or basically all of Mannheim Steamroller
Every year I listen to Dylan Thomas: A Child's Christmas in Wales,
I do like the Christmas albums of Pentatonix
as a kid I loved singing Away in a Manger
Kiani, that was my favourite one when I was a kid too.
i liked singing Angels We Have Heard on High because of the Glo-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-ria
and in college we did an awesome rendition of Hark the herald angels
yes hurshy! esp as a kid that was so much fun
Of traditional ones I like O Holy Night and Siver Bells
In the bleak midwinter always made me cry!!
i think they think really it would have been in the spring or something, not midwinter
O Holy Night is lovely too
Mannheim Steamroller is fantastic! They played my city once; somehow I was involved in picking them up and they all came for dinner; a late dinner...
i like Someday at Christmas
Nice
Hurshy, that one is not familiar to me
it's Stevie Wonder :)
Just googled it
And, yes, I have heard it before, not recently though
I am now listening to Mannheim Steamroller in the office
i like The 8 Polish Foods of Christmas, too
Now that one I can say I have never heard
it's from Veggie Tales
it's funny
the first polish christmas food i bring to the party... is boiled potato topped with dill weed
listening now :)
thanks Kiani for the reminder; I will dig out my albums!
:)
Lol...everything has meat :)
not EVERYTHING
:)
Cute song
then there's the one where Larry the Cucumber is waiting for Santa, that is also amusing
and who can resist Junior Asparagus singing "While By My Sheep"?
Can I have stats for the sole E on top?
Never mind, did a Peri
ugh I think I just tried to use a pokemon as a real word
clearly been playing that too much
lol
that's funny!
would they also sing wooly night?
anyone else here video game nerds?
I basically just play casual games online
nope
I used to be really into the Sims. But I don't have a PC anymore
my sis and I recently re-discovered a really cute little garden / shop game called Garden Paws. You play as a little animal and run a store to sell flowers you grow, or fish you catch, etc.
One game I would like to try Stray
do quests for the other animals in the village to get money to buy better seeds, go explore in the cave nearby for crystals,
yes Stray looks awesome
Sounds like fun
I'm taking a break, bbl

My favourite Christmas carol related anecdote revolves around the then 5 year old Son of Soodle. I had set up the crib, with the three wise men, the shepherds, assorted animals, and Mary and Joseph. I asked him to identify some of the characters, which he did, reasonably well. Then I pointed to a random shepherd, and said Who is that? He said, with great authority 'John Bergin'. I was puzzled till he began signing Silent Night. ...Holy Night, All is calm, all is bright, Round John Bergin, mother and child....
haha
that's funny, even not knowing who that is 🤣
there was a funny moment on Grantchester where this girl was in a nativity play for church and she asked what a womb was, and her dad was like... well, it's something that ladies have... and she goes, "like a purse?" and he was like, yeah... and then later she sees this woman with a nice purse and says "i like your womb!"

you'd be inclined to stick on an O but don't
A mother was teaching her three-year old the Lord’s Prayer. For several evenings at bedtime the little girl repeated the prayer after her mother. One night she said she was ready to say it by herself. The mother listened with pride as her child carefully enunciated each word, right up to the end of the prayer, “Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us some E-mail. Amen.â€
hah
I would like to be delivered from email, personally
that girl has obviously never gotten spammed
And the ever popular, Our Father, who art in Heaven, Harold be thy name.

Worried about me, why?

Well, let's see. It's about two weeks to Christmas. Add that to all the other hoo-hah I have to get done on the weekends.
We do not all have the luxury of not working.

scratch that I cant count sorry
Somehow, dushbag doesn't pack as much of a punch
Ha HA Molly, you are so right/

hello eveyone
stats please, cherl?
Trivia for today's grid. The snow in the poppy field scene in The Wizard of Oz was 100% of the root word of the ten-letter words.
soapsuds?
The ten letter words start with as
oh wow -- how many of the actors died of lung cancer?
they are both similar one letter different
Nan alot have lately that and colon cancer
ty molly -- a 3fer
None of the actors died of lung cancer.
Cheryl we are talking about the actors in The Wizard of Oz
or have emphysema or some other respiratory disease?
oh did not know you meant a specific show
sorry will go away
Ibit not a word
Looked it up -- the only casualty of as 8 being used in that film seems to be the son of Jack Haley (scarecrow) who brought it home in his clothing.
Hi all.
Have no 8s and not seeing them.
I welcome any clues for 7s, 8s and the 10. Ty. Stats and clues all welcome. Ty
if you have as8 they have to come remediate it before you can continue your renovation the tens build off this word
mkg: as 8 was an insulation material used to surround hot objects up until the 40's. It causes methoselioma. Teams removing it from older buildings need to wear hazmat suits for the job. The as 10's are derivatives of the as 8
I got it. Ty. Terrible stuff. A friend died from this. He worked as a young kid in an as 8 factory. Horrible stuff.
Got the ten too. Ty
Still need. A seven of two please. Ty
there are 2 tens
Any clues for bottom row I words?
Oh never mind. Got it.
tried the lady with the snakes in place of hair never thinking it would be accepted!
Nan what is that ? From mythology?
not so for every child's favourite doc.
yes, mkg
got to quit chatting now -- molly will be accusing me of blurting
Got it. Ty
Any clues for a seven out there?????? Ty
Jack Haley was The Tin Man
oh - what ever - it was is son that died
Huh? Is that a clue for a seven molly?
Who died? I am so not getting that clue if it is a clue
It's not a clue
Ok. Still searching for a seven…….any 7 will do.
mkg there are two MI 7s that start with the mi4
the son of the tinman in the Wizard of Oz -- from as 8 being brought into the house after his father shot the snow scene in the movie.
Ok ty cherlyq looking.
missing one of those -- have mi 6 7 8 6 that begin that way
Got one. Ty.
got them, ty
ntpn: controversial world cup game site

The only controversial site I know is Qatar and that is not in the grid
ok - was thinking of the wrong place

got it ty
yw, have a good day everyone
37 left only b and s words
I have 37 but have spread the wealth...I need several letters.
Any further clue for the two 10-letter words I get that they apparently start with as, but I can't find them.
if you have as8 they have to come remediate it before you can continue your renovation the tens build off this word
this was insulation and roof shingles that are no longer legal cause you can get bad cancer
Thanks, cherlyq.

congrats...
thank you both
congrats carla

great, thanks...
and a weirdly specific french set
ok, ty....

wouldn't think so...
back later
ok...
44 here.
sorry, it is di7/8
i was just looking for that....
it's a female who performs monologues
di7/8 clue pls?
i don't think that word came up in my french class....
that's why I said it was weirdly specific
and i had no family members who were performers....
something that's broken is probably in a state of di6 (not in grid). add a vowel in the middle for the 7.
ty carla.
