Good morning.
Good Morning, Scrabbler
Hi IG.
the Bald eagle got a squirrel in the back yard yesterday
Uh, oh.
the eagle is very non-shy; surprising. Ive only ever seen it with a fish
I've seen that happen too, It, it is amazing. They are huge.
Hi, Jeepers - yes it is a huge bird
Very big. I see them when I kayak and they dive for fish.
VERY cool IG!!!
hi, Champ - the squirrels invade the bird feeder, so I guess its Karma
sorry, silly
I meant my comment was silly
The food chain is real. There are no grocery stores for wildlife.
Indeed, Scrab
scrab you OK up there?
No worries IG. When we went to Alaska, my husband and I were on a small island looking out to the water, and an eagle was flying towards us....
My husband starts doing this goofy cawking sound, with his arms up, calling the eagle. Well, wouldn't you know, it landed right above us, in it's nest???
Now Bill thinks he's the Eagle Whisperer...whacko.
Maybe he is :)
In his head!
HH, it has been a wild week here. I did well as did all of my family. There were many heroes and also criminals (looters.)
So glad to hear, scrabs!
So far we know of 40 deaths. People froze in cars and in homes. So tragic.
that's so horrible.
Cell phones ran out of power and couldn't be charged.
That follows. So awful.
It is.
85 left and I need a break.
hagd!
sorry I missed that scrab - glad you're OK.
And good luck bills on monday night - big big game
Go Bills!
I am so nervous for this game
We need no turnovers. Josh cannot throw any INTs. No fumbles.
forecasting rain in cinci on monday night
and warm.
I love watching Josh! He's something else.
when they're on, it's a thing of beauty
Of course, Joe Burrow's no slouch. Gonna be a great game.
Have been pulling for the Bills all season. The Houston Texans are dead to me.
it does look like a fantastic game.
sorry about your texans. oilers. whatever.
I blame management. Gave up our season tickets, thankfully. It is what it is.
hello all
Have seen some fantastic football this season though! It's been super fun to watch.
there have been some great games and close finishes
an eagles-bills super bowl will be amazing
It would!
as long as buffalo wins
This city is crazy for the Bills: flags, hats, clothing.
Something to look forward to!
bbl - 76 to go
hagd!
49 here. challenging grid
How did the ski trip go?
was fun! I skied with my younger daughter the whole time - the older kids ditched us at the very beginning, and I didn't hardly see them until we were ready to go
Great. I'm glad you all had fun.
we will hopefully take a longer trip to VT in february
Do you get some kind of mid-winter break in February?
yes - a week at washington's bday
yeah, we usually get a week here in New England
Is that in place of Spring break, or in addition to?
glad you had a fun outing!
in addition to
we'll get passover off as well in april
A whole week, or just the day?
the one in april is spring break, aligning with easter/passover
the way it works this year is unusual - we're going to end up with 2 whole weeks off.
it's tough to squeeze the curriculum in with all this vacation
Wow, our kids just get a week at Christmas and a week at Easter. How many days are your kids required to be in school per year?
it's private - no requirement, nothing.
I think pubilc is 180.
Hmm, our kids have 180 too and they don't get three weeks off.
we definitely don't get close to 180.
school usually goes longer here
(we're in public school)
we go till early/mid june
but we started really late this year - I don't know why.
yeah? we started last week of august
My kids always got off like Dec. 22 and then went back Jan. 2.
seems like parents who pay for school would want more for their money
and they always started around Aug 25 and got out around Jun 11.
eh, parents that pay for their school generally have resources to care for the kids the rest of the time too
but one would think they would want the educational days. anyway, I think that many of those days in the public school around here are wasted.
the private school on my street is usually on during public school vacations, and they don't have the mandatory weekly half-day
Your kids get a half day every week?
unfortunately yes
many districts here in MA have it, K-12
union?
That is crazy.
it's for teacher development, so maybe?
ours had a day off at the end of every 8 weeks for that
I cringe when I hear we're having PD days. they are usually such an awful waste of time
oh, they also have that day off too, worry not :(
Day care must be a nightmare to schedule and rearrange
I'm lucky because I work from home, but it's a huge pain in the ass
there
oops
39 here. still missing three tiles!!!
166 left here
in trying to find the top H, I got distracted and somehow found 15/18 A's
I found an odd ha5
a 5 is odd, you're right 😜
but I only have ha4
use the high pt tile
hi, folks
ok, thx
hey welki!
anyone have the 1st ac5 it's driving me nuts
hi welki
prob not sug, since the first one I have is a past tense
it ends in a vowel
oh, my vehicle is in the grid
the first one I have is a plural
oh ty! got one of my missing tiles. Now just missing the lone O and the lone E
ha5/6 - frat boy(s)
oe7.32
???
lone e is easy ea4
different lone E carla :) sorry
if you're ? me, I'm saying one who ha4 is a word
there's no a next to the lone e :)
oh right, other lone E
That is the lone o oe7.32
then there's 2 lone e's, because yes there is
I don't get the ha5/6
yeah, fourth row
es6
I have ha4 about frats, I have ha5 is the cantor.
I have a ha5, but no way to make it into a 6
it's not real
I'm saying hazer is a frat boy, but hazer is not accepted
oh. ok then :)
too early for jokes I guess
the lone e is es6.24
thanks for the e6
I don't see any way to make hazer
going back to my lair
molly swoops in to point out I can't see, thanks
you are correct
we need to get carla some coffee. stat.
PHANTOM HAZER(S)
coffee is always good
ty for es6!!!
I'M DRINKING COFFEE
any help on the OE7 or should I just look it up?
I wasn't pointing out a mistake, I was confused
BTW, glad to see Harry is back in one piece today (I assume he is since he's here)
one piece. all children delivered intact.
nice
must have been tha pagan rosary
though they are pretty resilient at that age. I'd be more worried about you.
i'm sure it didn't hurt, bea
I stayed on the blues with my younger kid. but I do the blacks as well. only live once.
Never underestimate the prayers of an old Irish woman😊
I'm a bunny slope kind of skier
(apologies to scrabbler)
I have reached a point in my life where I refuse to go skiing ever again. I just hate it when I'm out there. I loved it as a teenager.
I get the bunny reference, but I think the last thing she wants to hear about is more snow.
god buffalo got nailed big time
I used to ski a lot, then didn't for 20 years or so, and now have begun again with my kids.
She loves snow. She is a bring it on kind of snow person
people are dying up there aren't they?
there's snow, and then there's 2022 buffalo.
I am a hang out at the bar in the lodge kind of ski person. I leave the leg breaking to others.
I would like seasonable snow here in MA, instead we are getting so much rain in the next few days
People who went driving around in a dangerous blizzard have died trapped in their cars. I will never understand why people do that.
it was snowing on Mon when I left my mom's in SWVA
some were unfortunately at work, those places should be liable if they asked their employees to come in
yes mael - I agree. miserable snow year so far here in boston.
I agree Mael
30 to go. done for now. hagd!
bye harry, see you later!
bye harry
does anyone still need the first ac5?
no, but I still need the OE
nm, just looked it up
can't believe I didn't know that word 🙄
1st col gray!
oh man, I just found the ce8 glad it's a normal word
well, 43 left and HOET after first pass. I don't like this grid.
i could use a hint on the ce 8 i sure don't have it
type of birth, ru
oh geeez
thank you mael
took me a while too!
i couldn't placenta the word
help with the oe7?
it was a labor of love
What about the other 8?
ec8
yep, i tried whazoo
Ru you found the ec8 but couldn't find the ce8? Wow
you need upthe in the grid for whazoo
yea.. I found the ec8 by accident
trying to spell something else
why don't you accidentally help me then 😜
the oe7: o+ anagram of lie down for a while
and thanks, mael
for the ce8
pt of lie down for a while!
ty mael
Maybe laid down for a while
yeah, that's better lol
I had to look up the ec8.
That's a doozie.
FW! not the funnest grid
good morning everyone :) More snow on the ground this am - sure glad I hired someone to shovel it this year!
jealous of your snow. nan
don't be -- it is really slippery out. It was melting yesterday, so now we have fresh snow on top of ice
hey nan
hi carla
anyone want to give a clue for bea's doozy of an ec 8?
the ec8 was a struggle to even look up. no idea how ruru stumbled onto it.
clue please carla?
looks kinda like a french thing on the pencil but with a c stuck in
ec + to level a building in the UK + first two of seventh planet from the sun
I don't think I've ever seen that one before.
pretty sure thats french
I haven't either, but Hurshy will say she has. 😊
didn't know that leveling the building was any different in the uk than it is here, but it must be
reading the def makes me think it's what they use to remove skin tags, etc
In the US, we spell that word with a z instead of an s
thought they did in Britain too
could have said UK and Canada, but I think we all know Canada is included in UK spelling, as is Aus, NZ, etc.
ty molly
no - we use the z in CAnada as well
not for all the other z/s words though
the french word uses an S, i believe....means to crush or smash something....the form here is a "one who" but has a medical meaning....
and hello all....
pen!
carla!
hi pen
It is hard to keep up with who spells what how. Canada takes it's cue from the UK on so many words. Cheque, zed, "in hospital", holiday (not vacation), colour, favour, etc.
hi nan....
I suspect this is going to be one of those grids that is more frustrating than fun. I was too tired to get very far last night and it isn't any better this morning!
i started out with the Cs for the "fun"? of it....found 20 but can't see anything more....time to move on....
only have 15 of them
17
that top o and the a next to it have me stumped
hokie, your clue for ec8 was great, ty.. hi all

I have the other a- an6
ty rasta
ty, rasta...

can someone please give me STATS for the lone O?....
phantom: stretch.....
an oe 7 was called last night, but I haven't found it so don't know which o it begins with
probably the top one I would guess
yes, thanks....
did you find it? a clue please?
no, i did not find it...
am so stumped by the ce8.. anyone have a clue?
sorry, don't have it...
oe 7/32 -- sounds like a type of wool without the first letter
calling in the monkeys, lol
do you have the stats for the ce 8 aloy?
i actually got that clue....ty, nan....
