I am feeling bad that I am in Southern California with lovely weather while most everyone I know is getting slammed
Just, enjoy it

That would be best, but I'm impatient.
well.. the i is the most difficult one for me to close out
hello all
I was blind to many of the C's today.
I hope everyone affected by this storm is staying safe and warm
Cold and wet here. Expecting subzero temperatures later today.
I'm finding a lot of words go to the left.
We have about 4 inches of snow, more coming down, and the wind is picking up. 11 degrees and feels like -7 F.
Snowing and very windy here. The blizzard is here.
I imagine Christmas plans in a lot of places are being rearranged.
His name is Elliot.
Yes, nice name.
who is Elliot?
This storm.
right column done
I need one more F to do that.
Got it! A medical word.

It's Santa! He came early
26F here. supposed to be 9F by midnight.
ha ha, the new Santa, pounding and huffing
Qi 7??????wow.
it's not that weird, mkg :)
Ok mael.
Have a great day all!
hi/bye, champ
Bye Champ.
I can use any stats or clues for the i words. Ty.
in5/10 and the superlative
(just c's to go now)
finito.. hope you all have a nice holiday.
I don't want to be that guy, but it's in5 and the comparative. no S in the grid for the superlative.
well done, ruru!
Bye ruru
Oh, yes, comparative. I got those words mixed up.
didn't want it to lead to any confusion 😜
Those two words always trip me up.
remember in the yearbook, there was always the "superlatives". I never really thought about that before. also, we called yearbooks "annuals" and kids these days have never heard that.
I have to remind myself that superlative = super.
oh, found an in8
I have that one but still missing an 8
that was my first, so can't help
can only find 2 q's
go backwards on the q.
I have the bird. doesn't really go backward but I don't see anything going directly backward. I guess I will come back to that later.
duh, found the 4 within the bird. now have 3 and can really move on.
this is a tough c

la + kid of a certain age + one who does ending
It's an extension of the la6 that has to do with sails
ty carla - ttit
*titt
eek, hope your power stays on bichon
seems like there is freezing rain on both coasts
it will
saw some crazy coastal scenes on the weather channel up in NE
We live in mid-state. It was only high winds and rain
hello
we have had it all today. warmth, driving rain, sleet, snow, now sun and ice.
hey TO
hey carla. just about ready to start preparing for baking.
IN8 in+ not she + monthly cost of living
still have 74 and no prospects.
made a challah yesterday
yum
nice. I will probably do some more baking and/or candy making tonight.
oh, is it braided, bichon?
came online to see how many walnuts i need to prepare for the whole lot of cookies. i will begin with grinding them all up then make dough.
yes, we made it together. DH returned from Antarctica
are you grinding them up for walnut flour or just chopping them to go in cookies?
oh, glad to hear he made it back.
my problem is i make many cookies that i think do not keep, so am always last minute. one CHristmas i even baked thumbprints on christmas morning
just chopping. GiANT has almond flour really cheap this week so i will not have to make that. but linzer tarts first try are not happening till after christmas.
I used to make a bunch of different stuff and give little sampler boxes to my close friends, but then there was covid and then I moved away.
i love cookies but have found some people think that odd. i never met a cookie i did not like.
I love cookies, but I don't like nuts in them.
i meant to say they find little gifts of cookies odd.
i love to sample what others make. it's fun.
I make these orange cream candies that everyone loves
so i think today i will make dough for walnut balls/cresecents to bake tomorrow and bake itlaian butter cookies today.
they sound yummy
once i made coconut cream eggs for easter.
nearly every cookie i make has nuts. the shortbread has almonds and cinnamon sugar on top.
I have gotten to where I'll eat almonds if they're flavored or marcona, but I don't like any other nuts or like them in stuff.
i have grown to like them in very sweet things like chocolate chips, walnuts are bitter and temper the sweet.
I made gluten free sugar cookies from a mix the other night and frosted them with store bought frosting. my son didn't know they were GF and said they were the best cookies he'd had in a long time, then my husband had one and said it was the best sugar cookie he'd ever had. I'm going to have to get some more of that.
i am sure the almond shortbreads would be good with just cinnamon sugar topping but sliced almods look so nice
who makes that mix and what type flour?
you have celiac?
probably a rice flour blend. I will look when I get more. It was Laura Lynn, which is a store brand for Ingles grocery store, which is regional, so I know you don't have them. Yes, I have celiac.
ah, a pain i am sure
to cook
well, i had better get a move on. see you later.
yep, but a bigger pain to go out to eat
yep, I have to go to the store, sadly. gonna be crazy.

AN PLUS PART OF YOUR FOOT
ty nancy
knew it had to have the 2pt letters, but couldn't find my way around it
sorry forgot to take caps off
ty nancy
well its 24 here now so gotten a bit warmer
lucky you - it's "up" to -13C here -- think that is about 2F
yeah sorry I am in Texas know there are colder places lived in some
Oh its about 9 degrees farenheit that is what we had last night hope you get warmer
those first three ch's (6-7-7) have me stumped
looking
here comes the snow again -- great big flakes
We already have a foot of the stuff on the ground - enough already
gotcha we did not get any although Abilene got a dusting
Nan did you get the cereal?
yes - the multigrain one is my cerial of choice :)
my fingers are not behaving today
add a vowel to ch 5 14 for a 6
have that, ty -- I am looking for the ch 6 -7 -7 that comes at the beginning of the ch list (before the links)
still looking have not listed yet
have left it for now -- just found that he 6 veterinarian that I always forget is accepted
so the 7 is a ch 7 36 it is a bristle or seta think old time spelling
take off last vowel for one 6
a bristle? like part of a hairbrush?
A seta?
I think its a sea urchin type thing
no idea
whatever it is, you wouldn't want to call a poker player by its name....
starts with first two of the vowels in order does that help?
ty freep
and cherl
c's done
ty freep
(and it is a sea urchin type thing. Who knew?)

Clan
Cain
Cane
I really hate to think what my gas bill will be this month
I send some of our warmth up your way, Nan.
Cate
I shouldn't complain - at least I have the means to get warm unlike those people trying to survive the cold in Ukraine
Yeah. It's always relative, though. We can complain and be grateful simultaneously, I feel....

she may meant that the AE start could come from lots of places in this grid...
may have meant, i meant to say... ;oD
i am done...
my brother just lost power in this storm....he was without power for four days about ten days ago....
LA 8/40 is a weird (non) word
agreed...
wow Pen - this is a giant storm
yes....but all rain....very high winds....my brother lives on a dirt road by a lake....lots of trees in his area....
I have ice sculptures down by the lake In Texas!
well all rain here in Maine, I should have said...
freezing overspray from the lake at 10 degrees
we have had some flooding here where i live....coastal flooding....highest tide of the month coupled with the serious rain....
temp here was in the mid 50s but dropping fast now....supposed to be about 18 in the morning....
such odd weather...
gonna be 70 here by Wed. Come on down!
hah....are you in Texas?...
Dallas Fort Worth area
ah yes...
Arlington. home of the Cowboys
football fan?...
not so much maybe worth a look
your TCU team is in the NCAA playoffs this year.....fun team to watch...
well i am heading out....have to pack a bag....bye all....
later
down to 12F here now
still 23 words. guess I should list.
Meanwhile, it's finally supposed to start warming up in Calgary overnight
warming up to what, though 🤣
High of 30F tomorrow (currently -7F)
I miss my natural gas heat.
I'm in an apartment with no control over the temperature, and it gets quite chilly when the temperature is as low as it has been the last week or so.
oh my, I would not like that
Usually it's not too bad.
And I suppose I could get a space heater
I do actually have what appears to be a thermoset control, but it doesn't seem to have any effect.
we do have a couple of space heaters and heated mattress pads
As long as I pile on the blankets, I don't need heated blankets or mattress pads - but when I'm up I do have to wear more layers than I'm used to
I'm definitely layering up
we have a pot bellied wood stove in the den and electric oil radiators in the main living areas. Also the heated mattress pads, lol.
no central HVAC. so room temps are not consistent throughout the house.
we have a propane fireplace that puts out no heat. we have talked about having it converted to wood burning.
Wood-burning fireplaces are not very efficient for heat, I think
And they are definitely high-pollution
again, I miss my natural gas houses
went to list. still can't find my 2 q's.
Yes, there are a couple of odd ones
One rhymes with a geometric figure, but has an extra vowel
That one is qu6. Another (qu7) means arranged in groups of five.
thanks Gillie, wouldn't have gotten that one easily.
got it, thx
yw
I'm having trouble with the in8 and in7
in8 risk of injury or death in skydiving
I don't have the 7 either
ty - I should have seen the in8
also can't find the in6/24
duh on the 7
Yea - just found it
couldn't look that direction for some reason
in6/24 ends with something that is often placed over a doorway
oh yeah, thx
In-floor heating is supposed to be one of the most efficient, but it is expensive to install
Anyway - I'm done now, so goodnight all!
oh, well done!
still 10 left
had to look up a few, but I am done
evening all - back for my last 37
23 here and I'm in slog mode...
down to 4 , all vowels
got the i words - 2 a's left
firewords! thanks lickety and all cluers
re 7?
nm
I would like a clue for the re7 please
Re+ en5/12
Got it! Thanks!
Yw!
in 7/32 pls?
when someone dies and leaves you something
thank you. merry christmas eve
