Starts with wa5?
yes, but not accepted
still, several fun compounds. Nice grid!
Add -er is quite helpful.

morning kiani
morning
hi hurshy
name that proper noun! fictional Belgian detective with glorious moustaches
Poirot
ding ding ding!!!
is it just me, or is this grid difficult?
just started, but, a little hard seeming so far
Name that proper noun one of the queens of country music
most of it is easy; there are some other interesting words
not good with musician names, not familiar with country music either. any other hint, molly?
Porton? just kidding
maybe Loreta something? thought that would have two Ts though
Tania?
The Night
That the Lights Went Out in Georgia
Hs Hacked!
Fancy
well I know the song but no idea who sang it
reba mcintire
Reba?
Ding! Ding! Saan wins a pair of cowboy boots
Vs Vanquished!
2nd row grey!
paptrek got them first
And pabtrek, it was a tie
Same time stamp
OK we'll share. thank you!
we can share and trade off a boot every other day :)
lol
same minds pabtrek!
You can each have your own pair
Oh that is very generous!
Wearing other people's shoes is gross
I was thinking of displaying it like a trophy on a mantel.
agreed.
hallelujah, the music class is moving back to their regular classroom!
don't you mean HAAA-le-LU-jah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Ha-LEHE-LU-JAH?
not really. just glad i do not have to hear them today! lol
haha fair enough
lol kiani
Are they that bad?
well a) yes some of them are and b) some of the worst behaved kids in the school were in that class this term, super disrespectful and rude to the teacher, and i hated hearing THAT too
see you all tomorrow, hope your day goes well
hello everyone
we've got a nice sheet of ice and snow yesterday, so the bus was late this morning

Getting a late start thos morning.
Hi Bea.. am headed to your state tomorrow, visiting a new grandson, yay
Congratulations!
ty.. we are excited
this state is in the grid
aloy - you should stop and see bea: she is our neighbor, next door but one!
hi broll! How far are you from Willow Spring?
the circle would be complete ; I introduce you to Babble and you did the same with Bea!
Had to look it up - about an hour to an hour and a half. You've been to our house, haven't you?
nope, Z and T were there but we haven't been. Have seen lots of pics tho
yes, I keep trying to get my sister and some other relatives hooked. My grandkids "help" me when I'm up there.
I thought you lived in Ohio Broll?
finished the grid and have to finish packing.. lol, I'm teaching grandkids too .. quality time with grandma!
Yes, but we own a house in NC, that my husband stays at most of the time - fixing it up, but I don't think it will ever get done!
It is a big place, ergo big job
erle
hopefully Cindy isn't bothering him
Yes, the pictures don't actually do it justice, size-wise. And I'm sure you haven't seen any of the 3rd floor, which is totally a fixer-upper; nothing done to it yet.
<---that was a joke for bea
Hadn't realized you weren't there Aloy. Have a safe trip!
wow, no.. never saw pics of the third floor. Well, I really have to get a going. Great "seeing" you broll.. will leave with a comment (aka blurt).. don't remember seeing the na5.22 before and it means the same as nabob. Now I'm sure I gave it away, lol.. ciao
Just saw a fox in our yard
oh yeah, cindy the bra lady
LOL! She has been fully dressed when she is here.
Whaaat?
Need to take mom to the dentist...
so was trying to change icon to show off my new pet but its not doing it for some reason
he is an older yorkie that is blind in one eye and the sweetest little thing
that's really great cheryl
look at my profile cheryl for instructions on hard reset
ok will do thank you carla
your new pic came up for me when I did hard reset
That did it thanks
heading out for the day.. have a good game everyone
no prob. that's why I put it in my profile, it comes up all the time and no one can remember. ðŸ˜
bye ruru, have a good day.
by ru and thanks
he was in my back yard and the neighbor brought him to me I spent two days trying to find his owners and when I found them they are fixing to go into military and needed to find a new home for him
they did not realize he was gone for as long as I had had him
aww, I'm sure they were happy you could take him. though I'm wondering if they just stuck him in your backyard
he was running loose that morning another neighbor almost got him but he would not come to her
I have had my current cat 9 yrs and the previous one 16 so I would be frantic if I did not know where they were
I just remembered I had a dream that winston got loose and ran off and then came back with a bunch of other dogs.
they can do that lol

think of a big camera lens, mkg
Ok. Ty
Got it. Super clue pen,.
Oops sorry ty carla!
Also missing o word for the o second row. Any help welcome.

Got it. Ty hurshy. Another super clue. One last clue needed. Missing the E words for fourth column E. Ty.
each separate dying em5 wrought its ghost upon the floor
Ooo just got one of them. So ty anyway
pe8 rhymes with doc brown's time machine car
Wasnt it a lambergini???????
uhhh no, very much not
Guess i dont recall. Hmmm.
it does sound italian too
it was american
the founder could, of course, have had italian ancestry, idk
still sounds italian
which is what I said
That car doesn't sound Italian to me
The guy it's named after is Romanian
good for you, you're more worldly than me
found te8/9 but not a te7
rebate
oops sorry
so I have a te 9 but not seeing how to make an 8 out of it
oh I got an 8 now too not connected
the 7 is not related either. we've had it occasionally. ends in what you did in the race.
rehi again
remooooo!
heh
5-7-9-4-2
5-12-10-3-1 not a lot changed
found 4 more words
have been sewing but my machine keeps freaking out so I took a break and cleaned it out
I just bought my wife a sewing machine for her birthday
nice!
does she sew or just wants to get into it?
and what is she going to do, quilts, garments, or home decorating?
She had a very old one she inherited, and has done limited sewing as a result, but I think she's been reluctant to get one herself
made it past half way
She's pretty crafty
nice, cheryl!
mostly into crochet, but suspect she'll find all sorts of uses for the sewing machie
20 to go here
I don't know how to knit or crochet
ty
me neither :)
found a word!
and it was a bird
I'm speechless
2nd column greyed
3OFOET
4OFOET....actually have only one tile with 4, and the rest are 2 or 1
I have 3 with 3 left and everything else is 2 or 1
10 tiles with 1, 2 with 2 and one with 4 :)
2 with 3 left
no, 3 with 3 left. apparently I had 4 before when I said 3. P, T, W
oh, found 2 w's
:)
sadly they were 4's, so 3-11-8-3-1
1-5-6-3-2
found a 5
super
and another 5
oh, I think I know what my bottom A needs to be
awesome
from last night. but I can't find of course
found a 7!
ooh, got it
well just remember to breathe
ah, too slow :)
is that the 7 you just found?
no
I had already completed that one
you were just sure that was the one I needed
pretty sure
PPP E L RR T HH E R TTT BB MM AA N NN W
3OFOET
PPP R H V BB M A N N W
pretty similar today
just putting that there in case you wanted to make any other guesses 😜
yes, again mine is just a fatter version
e8?
or maybe the 6
L5 or maybe a 4
t7 perhaps
I have the 5 and 8, so I guess E6
t7 was the 7 I found
got the e!
nice
I just clued the 7 right when you returned
then t8 maybe?
oh, or more likely the other t7
not unless there are 2
I have te7 and tr7
oh, then you're missing an easier one
that tracks
possibly t5 babbleyt
hmm, I like babbleyt
yeah, definitely a t that is babbley
found a 6
anterion - a charged particle at the back of a molecule
antrope - a chain that ants form to reach things that are out of reach
oh, found an A
waterlet - a small amount of water
wantbeer - yes
it is a good portmanteau of water droplet
yep :)
found a lower T
tremendous
bartop - the place you are at the beginning of your drinking session
I'm surprised you have a V. I did find my last one way later but it's a legit word.
betrow - to give someone pants
that's a good one
well I took the "most words remaining on each tile" approach
and I'm surprised bartop wasn't a word
I double checked just in case
I double checked in case you didn't
found the v
just because you were surprised
v.v. nice
nowater - desert
notraw - cooked
nown - alt sp like enable loves
heh
notelet - a note consisting of a word or two, or even just letters or symbols
notelet - small note
LOL
hehe
found my last h
10 to go
1-2-4-1-2
oh, what was it?
h5
regular word
hmm
oh, found my last 7
and an associated 8
2OFOET
that's helpful
for you to get 2 in 1
yes, considering I'd never seen them before
oh dear, I might need the stats then
pe7/32 and pe 8/45
oh, had the 8 from an earlier clue
beetan - sunburn or tanning that resembles the striped abdomen of a bee or wasp
most baseball players rebat
atrophee - one who decays or wastes away

I am stuck but moo keeps finding words
8 to go

most of the words I'm finding are made up at this point
3-9-7-1-1
1-2-4-0-1
PP L RR T HH E R TT BB MM A N NN W
P R BB M A N W
L5 and T5 on the top
maybe r5 too
h4 and h5 perhaps...same stem?
5 is the new 6
e5 on second row
found my last 8
ooh, what was it?
4th row greyed
a8
ah, I do need that
common word
easy peasy
we have some in Colorado, only ones you'd have in NC though would be in a zoo
or SC :)
found my last r
really
truly, I've seen 'em here
tho it's true I didn't realize there were any american ones until I moved here :)
found the an 8, but still no luck with the pe 7-8
sounds like a city in Illinois with a letter inserted in for P7
well, hurshy's clue was back to the future related but can't imagine that would help
good one moo
only city I can name in Illinois is Chicago
starts like the group of cyclists (and home fitness company) ends in a mosquito borne illness
Look for cities on Shasta Bay.
well, the definition is clear as mud
for the 7
bea!
ends LIKE the ending of a mosquito borne illness
I'm a Canadian - I don't know any more cities or land features in the states than you do in Canada!
sorry, needed to clarify that
Hey, Carla.
I know a few Canadian landmarks and cities...been to a few too :)
ty mool
yeah, but you watch/read US news all the time per your own statements. I've never been to IL either
That's a big assumption, nan.
probably know more towns and cities from my interest in hockey
I lived in Illinois for a short while
From Thunder Bay to Moncton....from Halifax to Regina an on to Kootenay
perhaps Bea, must most of the contestants on quiz shows I watch know very little about Canada
I recently learned Canada was a native american word for Big Village (or somesuch) is that true?
yes - except Kootenay is a region in BC not a city
probably - have no idea. A lot of names of towns and areas in our country are derived from indigenous languages
ah, appreciate the clarification
I was in a town called Swastika once in northern Ontario
I've only managed to visit southern Ontario, Montreal and parts of Nova Scotia
emphasis on the second syllable
My home town, Kelowna, was the native tribes word for brown bear.
and home to the Rockets
yes!!
these last 6 are proving stubborn
I gave up looking. back to sewing now.
and the worst mosquito swarm I've every experienced was in Quebec. At la verendrie reserve
unfortunately named town HH
for me it was a LacBrebeuf in the Chicoutimi region
*at Lac Brebeuf
well, I unfortunately have calls, so may return later for those final 6
I gotta run too. still 64 to go.
bye!!!
bfn mool
and hary
my bread machine is baking in there. smells so good.
even for gluten free
What else is for dinner?
well, we do meals from Home Chef, so one of those
the bread is afternoon snack 😜
Is that Rachael Ray?
no, but there were some RR meals last month or so
I didn't order many of those, though they looked good, because they all had gluten.
I'd like to try some, but I just don't want to commit. I have issues. =)
well, you really don't have to commit. I have skipped weeks and stopped for months when we were moving.
email me if you want to check it out, I can get you and me some $ off for referral
I will. Thanks. I'm trying to clean out my freezers right now.
But if I could get one meal a week, that is a meal I do not have to plan.
Carla I am gluten free as well but have not found a bread recipe yet
we usually do 4 or 5 a week. not sure shipping would be worth it for one
I do some research.
cheryl, pamela's bread mix makes the best. and they have very good bread machine instructions if you have one
thank you I will check it out
dont like the expensive store bought stuff
bea, some harris teeters and krogers carry some home chef meals if you want to try them or just get one here and there
Thanks. I look at that too.
I'm having trouble finding pamela's stuff now that I live in the country, cheryl, so I just ordered from their website. I think if you google pamela's products you will find their website. can also get some on amazon but I wasn't sure about some of those sellers.
the krogers in hilton head had a huge, huge home chef section
It is nice to have a dog in the house again, but he is taking a lot of retraining!
and they had stuff I hadn't seen on the website, like dips and stuff. it was nice to cook at the beach but not have to think about it.
oh, hopefully he'll get the hang of it soon, bea
He has come a long way already.
this dog snores lol
winston does too, and has nightmares
I imagine the only thing he would be scared of in his dreams is not eating
yeah I looked it up and it said some yorkies do but if it gets too bad to take him to the vet we will see
stats for the lone o anyone?
my brother is on his 3rd yorkie. he had 2 at once and now this one. one of the earlier ones and the current one had something where he sounded like he was snorting but that was while awake more I think.
or5
he did that too till I got him a harness that helped with that
I got the bird but that come from the lower O
or5, to make a speech
hi again
hey nan
hi carla
perfect thanks

ah geez, can't believe I missed it.
3 remaining. 2x7 and 1x8
all P :)
think back to the future
or illinois
1 left
the flux capacitor!
ph7/36 is my last word
look at the ep8
Don't mention it sounds Italian
ty !
done :)
hate to break it to you, but it's a chemistry word, harry
huzzah!
hah
I always miss chemistry words
is the 6 before it related?
not it's cates the actress from fast times at ridgemont high
I guess I forgot that's allowed? thanks.
would have never tried that
Or, for us Friends fans, the blond.
it's a bird, i think....
you know, every male of a certain age associates that name with a certain scene from fast times🤣
aahh... this is where I confess I've never seen that movie.
well, you were a little older than the target demo at the time I think
hi again again -- got an invite to a Burns Night gathering -- byob and a contribution to the snack table, so ran off to make a batch of shortbread.
she is topless in it
what is Burns Night?
Oh, no wonder, hokie! Nan, Burns Night sounds great. Will there be Irish whiskey?
Celebration of Robbie Burns birthday -- I think it is 2019 this year
sorry --- 219
okay, question 2: who is Robbie Burns?
I would hope not ch1212 --- single malt scotch maybe?
I know he was Scots (I'm half and half), but Irish whiskey is always good for toasting poets. :)
none the less, I think I'll take along a little of the macallan!
Also excellent. Have fun!
Sure I will -- not until the 28th though
you are making shortbread now for the 28th?
yes a little on the late side -- it really should mature for at least three weeks.
well i made it through the list and still have 9 to find....ugh....
I took my four kids who are in their 50's now and a bunch of their friends to see Fast Times. They couldn't get in without an adult. I enjoyed it.
must be different than what I am thinking of
pen, I'm still skipping words left and right
I was a little young when fast times came out but saw it on TV several times in the 80s. I have 2 older bros so watched a lot of things in the 80s I shouldn't have.
Times have changed.
scottish shortbread: 1 cup butter, 2 cup sifted flour, 1/2 cup of icing sugar. Knead until silky, form in blocks, prick with fork, chill one hour, bake at 300F for one hour (til edges turn golden), slice into1" strips, store in metal container 3 weeks before serving.
yep. I remember watching ET with my kids and thinking wow, this isn't really great for young kids.
westford, I took my 12 year old daughter to see Thelma and Louise, because I had heard it was about female empowerment. I had no idea until it was too late there would be nudity and abuse and breaking the law...and then of course the ending lesson of, "If things get too bad, just commit suicide." We both laugh about it now!
interesting, thanks, nan
Thank you nan. Is icing sugar confectioner's sugar ?
I believe powdered = confectioner's = icing sugar
yes -- two blocks from the batch (1/34" wide by 3/4" high) Prick with picle fork so that you have a double row of holes down the center of each slice (cut when hot out of the oven and cool on racks)
ba 6/30 anyone?
originally berry sugar was used, but it is almost impossible to find now
no, pen. one of my 7.
the fly that goes from drinking hole to drinking hole
well not barfly
or maybe the server on roller skates
I have always wondered. I could have looked it up. ch1212 great Thelma and Louise story. Driving back from Ohio with my cousin after we dropped her daughter off at college. Pulled into a gas station and Susan said to the young cutie pie, "Hi, we're Thelma and Louise."
ty, nan....
still couldn't see that. finally looked it up.
LOL! I'll bet that gas station clerk still tells that story.
what's sad is I even have the 3rd letter on some of these
how about na 6/18?
nope
don't have it either
I think it's from the left N but I also need the last na5 which I think is from the right N
bombing out on the re 6/24 that follows the one who gives money back from a purchase as well
change the last vowel
from the right N....just greyed the left side N....
ty carla
ugh, the NA6 we have a bit. I usually see it.
ends in 80s sci-fi movie with jeff bridges
(have used that clue before so don't pretend y'all don't know what I'm talking about)
duh....
bbl :)
now an R and 2 Ts left
bye, ch
three Ts here....
just had to look up the R, and it was what they did with tv shows. I am literally seeing nothing right now.
hah...that was the last R i found, too....
ve 7 please?
have te5/10 and tr7/28 now
nm - found
the five ends in a vowel.....a babblet....
I should've just quit without finishing this one. this is really annoying.
the tr 7 is like an apt. you have to rent to a jazz combo... ;o)
te 7 anyone?
moo told me earlier it was a babblet but I still couldn't find it. got it now though, thx
ends in what you did in the race
thanks pen, that's it for me

it is a bird and a name... ;o)
ty west - done
congrats....
it's a bird..it's a plane
carla, are you done?
da plane!...da plane!....
Did I ever tell you about my cousin ? Her mother changed her name legally to Summersquash. Her daughter is Ph**** Bluesky Summersquash.
oh lort
yes, I'm done
whoa....
your cousin is a flower child?
I played soccer with a girl who spelled it febby and I just thought that looked so stupid
well she's a graduate of RISD
don't know what RISD IS
congrats, carla.....
Rhode Island School of Design, i think....
best part is she's married now and her last name is Battles.
I guess it is your aunt that is the flower child maybe?
hah...
well i am off.....goodnight all....
Yes Rhode Island School of Design.
me too -- need to figure out what to have for supper
bye everyone - back at the flip
bye nan thanks for the recipe
I DVR.d my governor. Going to go watch his State of the State address.
nope, no lickety for me today. most days now it won't come up for me. curious.
weird, mab
it is. my caches are always clear. it might not like some of my anti-cookie sorts of things or my vpn, maybe.
I quit using my vpn because certain websites just wouldn't work
yeah, could be that, but why would lickety care about my ip address?
yeah, no idea
he might be around at the flip if you can stay up
actually, I think I can get his email off the lickety site for you if you want to ask him by email if that could be the problem.
that's a good idea - he must know everything about computer stuff.
oh yes, that would be great.
lickety split AUS at gmail dot com (without the spaces and with the appropriate symbols)
thanks!
good luck!
hi all, diving in
