Clues are up

anyone found that bottom n?
ne7/8, nan (which I just found!)
that's the last 8 then
duh - why was I thinking there were only 4
ra7
So why won't it take eggier?
yeah. the yolks on us, I guess, for trying....
:)
not seeing the ne, nor the f -- will have to wait for tomorrow. Good night everyone :)
Nan, fe 5 and the ne 7/8 is a cocktail
the f is what one does with an epee
found the f, ty and wouldn't know the cocktail -- think it has been about 50 years since I had a mixed drink.
gr7 x 3
Eggggads! 50 Gs
ne7/36.....clue please
A cocktail
First three - not pos (not + but -, abbr), next three, Mr Reagan, to his friend's, then a vowel.
Arrrgh - a rogue apostrophe got in there. Mea culpa!
tyvm
matty
this is what I get for being a teetotaler
I don't think I've ever had one of those cocktails, in truth, though I am not teetotal!
they are good if you like a little bitterness in your cocktails
I've never heard of it or have seen anyone drink this..... maybe it's an old old cocktail as I am 79.
it's a pretty common cocktail actually aeb
well most of the people I know are from my three ethnic choirs......and they drink beer(bier)and wine
I certainly like very bitter beers!
they do also and they also drink half beer and half apple juice supposedly called a Shandy
ugh that sounds awful
sometimes beer and carbonated lemonade
A shandy here is beer and 'lemonade' (lemonade basically being Sprite/7UP, more or less)
the ladies drink these but not the men
Lager and (hard) cider combo here is called a Snakebite, and is apparently lethal
I have the ni8/50 but I cannot for the life of me find the ni6/30?
I have neither :(
ty for responding
Which N does the ni8 come from, please?
a derogatory word for black people
top line 4th square
Aah, thanks for the 6 - still looking for the 8 (Ru and AEB) :D
ends with a crime against god
Thank you! I'd not have found it without that clue
well the p was pretty easy
Oooh, big grid. Ruru, you are up early.
Are you getting snow, scrabs?
good morning all
Yes, it's beautiful out there.
you can keep the snow Scrabs
Hi Peri, how was your visit with your family?
it was lovely, thanks for asking. The little guy is such a sweet heart
and my niece and her husband are very nice too
going to my sister's house tonight to celebrate Chanukah
morning all 91 to go..... but slow because my little Westie died at 7:30am today
I am lucky to have kind and generous friends and family
I am so sorry to hear that aebmusica. It is so hard to lose a beloved pet.
I'm so sorry aebmusica.
Aww, I'm so sorry.
ty peri her brother died on April 18th this year.
Happy Chanukah to all who celebrate
tyvm everyone
oh dear two big losses. so very sorry Abemusica
thank you Molly
grint
sorry, no a word
why is the ni6/30 accepted in this grid. it is a horrible word
I thought the same thing
me too.... there are others also like cu4/6 that I hate
that too
Oh, no, aeb. I was up most of the night with a sick rabbit. Losing a pet is so awful.
sorry to hear that Scrabs
She is eating now which is encouraging.
sounds promising
Oh I am so happy that she's eating....good sign.
What is your bunny's name?
Fiona. I got her and her sister, Phoebe, from the SPCA 4 years ago. This is my first bonded pair.
Didn't you have a Gandolf?
my puppy's name is Flrie Jeanne Mac Fearsome(play on words because she wasn't very fearsome and my family is part of the MacPherson clan
that's Florie
bl
wow - got nbs from the first tile!
I'm finding this grid tough.
bichon, these girls are my 12th and 13th rabbits, I think. I had Gandalf the Grey in the past.
Do you have more dogs, aeb?
phantom peregrine
Yes, I see it now, Meatball.
:-)
Have had many... my profile tells you all about my last three
I give my rabbits longer names too. Past rabbits: Tucker John, Peter Rabbit, Benjamin Bunny, Miss Beatrix Potter, etc.
good morning everyone :)
some appropriate weather words in the grid today
Hi Nan
oh how cute.......Beatrice drew such cute renditions of her rabbit family characters
I have Beatrix Potter posters in the rabbit room.
phatom: pension
aww
missing the F and the bottom N for nbt and hoet
those ones are stumping me too
fe 5 is a fencing move
got the F
like a fencing move
hah! jinx nan
bottom n is an alcoholic beverage ne7.36 and plural
well, I've just started and can only find 2 j's
will have to google it even though my son did fencing in high school
ne 7-8 is from the bottom n. Monkeyed it last night, I think someone said it is a cocktail
it's all about mick, carla
also a quidditch move, luv
well, one of the two I found is mick
cocktails and harry potter are not helping me one bit
more mick, like mick, micks,
and no idea on a cocktail
only have half of the j's
the harry potter is for the F, harry
missing one J
oh
There are also words that mean talk or language in the js
ah, remembered the N
i too am missing one J
I am missing 3 Js
There are two ja8's
hmmm ok
Ah, I have but one of them (thanks to the clue a few minutes ago from Bea)
ty got it
ty bea
Are the two 8s related to each other?
Aaah, yes they are
still need 4 j's
I still need 2
ty for the other ja8
still need 5, incl both 8s
but still missing the N...grrr
actually finding the As harder than the Js, lol
1 J left....
have 4 language words and 2 mick words
The first 4 letters of the Mick word yield quite a few words, Nan, including ones you may not expect
harry, the N has the ne word that used to refer to black people, then ends in an element
ok - mick words now - ty matty - need mone more j
I have two elements in this grid, and neither fits what you're saying...
the element is 5 cents
think of the 5 cent coin
j's done :)
jinx
down to 3 j's
that took altogether too long.
I need to make some coffee.
OH! symbol for the element - I get it :)
I'm disappointed in your lack of knowledge of the periodic table 😜
yeah well...
still need 114 words and struggling
287 left
The 5 cent coin isn't in the grid - I'm confused!
not the coin, the element
or metal
and not the element, the abbr for the element as found in the periodic table
phantom: geyser
abbreviation
But...isn't the coin named after the element?
of course it is, but there's no periodic table of coins
abbreviation on the periodic table, matty
Ooooh - you mean the last two letters of the NE7 and 8, I think. I'm still obsessed with my last J :D
yes that is what that was for
and the lightbulb shines :)
Silly me
my last j was mick with no double letters
I didn't realize my clue would create such confusion
I think we need to be clear here that an abbreviation for an element is not the element. One wouldn't clue tungsten and then say w, right?
And now that was MY last J - thank you!
just getting persnickety here
I have that J, still need 3! would anyone care to help with the J8s?
what I know about science or the periodic table, you could put in your eye, harry
yeah but if we said that, then the person might be afraid it was an odd one like tungsten = w, thus rendering the clue useless
well, in my head it was obvious there were 2 letters left, so the element would be the abbreviation
ja8 one is pt of the speak
saying it is an abbr helps to reassure the reader that they can think of it without being sciencey
the 8's both are derivatives of the dialect
thanks bea, unexpected pt
In my line of work, we use a lot of ja6/39, if I've spoken it a lot, I've ja8/80
For the other JA8, change the last letter
that's weird
like if I said the fencing word began with a rusting metal
obvi iron, so FE
caffeine is on board.
but we already know that one starts with FE. your example needs it elsewhere in the word.
I would not make that hop. your mind works in weird and wondrous ways, carla
If I go to punch you with my right hand, but pull back, I have fe5'd. Homonym of pass out
i don't think caffeine was an example hokie, i think he was just saying he has consumed some
lol, wasn't speaking about the caffeine
0h my gosh the crossing conversations here
lol
okay, I have 4 language words and 5 other ja words
think I'll make some breakfast and have a look at wordle
sinnow: the name of the boat in the porn version of gilligans island
lol
Good one Harry
the Rs are making me dizzy
all hands on deck.. or something like that
hah! that would be a good name for it!
let's see if we can get financing
it's probably already been done 🤣
I would google it but I'm afraid of having that in my search history
yeah, no way I would
lol
esp on my work computer!
ru, we got another dog.
you did? you have two now?
he is a 6 year old boxer that we are fostering.
hagd all - 114 left, not sure I will be back today
how is eggier not a word?
I guarantee you, little boys everywhere had their own porn versions starring them and Ginger
I just can't be a foster.. once they show up here it's over for me.. I always keep them
or Mary Ann, some were into her
He will probably stay.
attagirl
it's nice having two.. they keep me laughing all the time
anyone else watching world cup final?
not me
I am watching.
I hope it's a good game
We don't have Peacock or I would be watching World Cup instead of Meet the Press. Happy Hannukah to those that celebrate.
which countries are in it?
it's on Fox, not Peacock.
did morocco make it all the way there?
it is France v. Argentina
oh, ty hokie.. our local newscaster said Peacock
no, Morocco played in the 3rd place game yesterday but lost to Croatia
ahhh classic powerhouses then
Did we just lose the goalkeeper...? not a good start!
he looks to be in pain, but staying in
The trauma seemed minor.
it looked minor in the slo-mo but I guess he got hit harder than it appeared
Not a splenic injury, I hope.
hello again
hey nan
Hi Nan. 196 left and I cannot see them.
171 left here. still working on first pass.
105 here and it is a struggle
wrestling with that bottom right e - only one from there so far
en4 and 5
ty - didn't know that could be pl.
100 and heading to the list --- don't want to spend all day at this -- probably shouldn't matter as it is supposed to sn 4 all day
hi nan, totally agree! this is a slog
hi saanich
Yes.
is it sn-4-ing on the island today?
have you got snow yet nan? I can smell it..
yes - about 2" overnight and still coming down
snap. not yet but soon.
supposed to be enough wind later today to cause white outs on the highways
first pass finished. 107 left and HOET
Go go, Carla.
wow. there are highway alerts from Vancouver onward. good luck if you are snowed in
big oops, penalty box better have something nice in it
Just took some cookies out of the oven
carla did you actually do allthat AND watch the Cup? impressive
no problem for me -- stocked up early in the week. Spending Christmas with my daughter and her family. Her youngest has an autoimmune disease, so have been isolating since the beginning of the week.
thank you Molly
Hi folks. It's foggy here for the first time in years. Where I live is notorious for fog in the winter, but you have to have moisture for fog and, well, the drought.
Hi Origami
yummy! thanks again.
hi ori
maybe you will get some rain, ori -- that would be good if it is a light one
We got quite a bit of much needed rain a week ago.
we have been getting snow on and off since November with melting in between. Hopefully come Spring the moisture will be deeper than the top 6" of ground.
155 left and I need a break. Enjoy the day.
bye scrabbs - taking a break soon too
se 6/30?
rhymes with homeless person working the streets...
ty bojazz!
yw...
I'm back. not seeing many words now.
sneaky puzzle today
hi again
it's easy to lose interet when you are not finding any words
well the first 200 words were fun....hello all....
pen!
hi pen
carla!
hi nan...
think I'm going to be left with a lot of 6's and 7's
I still have 24 4s left
i have lots of everything left... ;o)
i have 51 fours left....hah!
this game is crazy!
hi again all. still trying. pun intended.
down to 95 left
hi saanich...
but....if anyone needs a geat cookie feast in the PB, please blurt a few words...
hi penquis, how are you?
recovering from the neverending cold...how about you?
keep forgetting night show host, jay
preparing for the neverending cold! you know, the wood, the generator, etc etc
ah yes....
had that one nan but you still get cookies
ty - alway can eat cookies
do you often lose power, that you need a generator, saanich?
Molly made them this morning
yes nan, more often than before because of drought and dead trees crashing the power lines
my well works by electricity and that is the main reason
oh - our power lines are all underground in the places we've lived since the 60's. Have always had a fireplace though - either wood or gas - and it wouldn't be the first time I've heated soup (or baby's milk) in it. Then there is always the BBQ for cooking :)
I forgot you are out in the countryside
yeah in the middle of the woods. I am so lucky. deer, bears and cougars wander through. It is incredibly beatiful.
we have deer, bears, wild hogs, and last night I saw a bobcat. thank god for no cougars.
we have lobster... :oD
a bobcat? in your neighbourhood?
yep
great problem
i have a bobcat in my home....a Bates bobcat...me...:oD
we just have deer wandering through - even though i'm in a gated community.
we also have a gajillion squirrels. and canada geese - wish y'all would take those back
we are gated too but the gates are just on the road, no fences anywhere
sorry - if they live with you, they are now american geese
all this geese talk made me type in nene just in case
well, that was meant for both penguis and carla but hit the send too fast. And no we do not want those geese back; why do you think we gave them all away, ha ha
the fence is only 5-6 feet high, so doesn't do much for keeping the deer out and we are surrounded with nearby orchards, vineyards and open spaces.
I have deer in my suburban yard picking through the compost pile
I'm sure that we have coyotes as well since they are everywhere, but I haven't seen one yet
the deer in Victoria have become so invasive - people keep feeding them - soo they are given some sort of infertility shot
we have one coyote that visits periodically, and lots of squirrels and sometimes the racoons invade.
I saw a coyote walking through my yard carrying lunch in its mouth
no coyotes where I live, an island. also no venomous snakes or skunks
and when grizzly bears manage to swim over, they get first class travel home to northern BC
bye for now, interesting chat
Too bad Fred Trump wasn't given a infertility shot
bye saanich
bye, saanich...
wondering how the cougars got there
is there any chance that he will be barred from running again?
there's a chance
if the DOJ presses charges that's the answer I guess
monkeying some really strange words I've never seen before
well, lunch is over and I have too much to do to sit around here and find 1 word every 20 minutes. 88 left.
123 here...keep getting distracted...
5-6-6-6-7-7-7-8
are the bottom N words ordinary?....
i didn't think so -- ne 7-8: coctail(s) apparently
ah, ok...ty...
taking a break
I dfont have a clue about t he ne words. Any help welcome.
Ty
bye , nan...
Blessed be google. Got it.
thanks for the ne 7/8 cocktail(s) hint. Got it right away!
down to 90....taking a break....bye all....
Ty for ne clues.

can't believe I missed that. glad I peeked in.
HOw many do you have left?

18-28-21-13-3
and I have even looked at 4s
How's your momma? I know she had cataract surgery.
she's doing okay, I guess. she was happy to report she doesn't have to go back for 6 months
That's a plus.
how's your mom doing?
She's good. It is amazing how her health and mental state have changed since she has been using this biologic. She decided she was going to live a little longer since taking this med and had oral surgery to remove some teeth and get some new bottom teeth. Merry Christmas to her!
that's great
This dog has finally laid down.
that's good too ðŸ˜
He is an active one.
do you know how old?
He is 6. We have some good records on him. Not always the case.
same age as Winston
well, I just grayed my 3rd tile on the 2nd row. now just need 5 G and 10 R to finish it out 🤣🤣
not getting the ne cocktail hint. anyone have another hint for the 7/8?
I did one this morning that was debatable about it being any good
just monkeyed it but never heard of it as a cocktail
it's italian apparently
was going to give you the time code in the chat so you could decide for yourself 🤣
THANKS for being helpful. just happy I stumbled on it by guessing
yeah, that's pretty good you got it
well, I 'm stopping again with 60 left.
I STILL have 115 and feel like i have been at this forever
aegis

Yes, the n6/30 is in fact "the N-word"

BACK FOR THE LAST 8
sorry for the shouting
