having a hard time keeping my peepers open -- good night everyone :)
Well, I'm going to leave this for now - goodnight!
night nan and gillie. I'll follow you outta here, too
tr 7, 8
no, no, no. sorry. te 7/8, which I think already called.
hello all
hi aslindy
phantom: sneeze
this is a tricky grid!
Now you see it, now you don't
morning all
Why are we getting proper nouns in the grid there days?
Some proper nouns have other meanings that are not proper nouns
'These' days
Yes, I know that, but looking up the male name today it does not appear to have any other meaning, the same as with my county name recently
Are you talking about he5/16? It has another meaning
Yes, just done a different search, and stand corrected! Thanks Molly
Can't explain England. I have never seen it in a grid.
No, not England, Somerset
That also has another, gymnastic meaning.
OK, another school day for me then! Ty Molly
Good morning from Cleveland Ohio
Oh me-oh, oh my-oh, oh Cleveland, Ohio (stolen from CJ Cregg)
I don't know that reference! I'm from the era of "Cleveland;Ya gotta be though!" aka the Kucinich years. Full disclosure; I'm in an inner-ring East Side burb
It's from The West Wing. Mael will know it, if she's here.
I'm enjoying your word list. It's like a dictionary of leftover Scrabble® tiles!
I might have to stream The West Wing. Currently watching The White Lotus, season 2, if only for Michael Imperioli. I like his awkward handsomeness.
I can't recommend The West Wing highly enough. It's one of the best shows that was ever on television. I own a boxed set of all 7 seasons.
noted!
Agree with Molly.....it was terrific!!
Molly, did you ever watch Sports Night - another Aaron Sorkin dramady, only lasted two seasons but was very good
good mornng, Une!
I so wish someone like Jed Barlet would run for President.
could I get a tiny hint for the ge8 please
I have one thing to say about this grid: EEEEEE!
Yes! Loved Sports Night!!
It is tough to clue, lindy
noted, bea
Lindy it ends in Spanish for river
is it a familiar word, or something weird?
it is a plant type
but not common
Very weird. One of those words only plant people would know. And maybe not some of them.
tuberous greenhouse plant with huge leaves. had to look it up.
molly, there is no rio
ria
thanks all for the hints
NBT, need an 8 for NBS. Are the other two 8s familiar words?
there's a cr8 that's fairly familiar
OK. I'll play around.
I think the te8 should be familiar, too
does the te8 start with the beginning of 'phone or 'vision' (i.e. the common prefix?)
Thanks. I'm glad to be here. I'm a CASA, court appointed special advocate for children. It's a volunteer position, and it can get intense. There's a ZOOM hearing in a little over an hour, and I'm just decompressing here. Babblers are a lovely bunch.
no, has do do with the earth
ah, I was thinking earth. thanks! Now to go all math-y with permutations and combinations!
on my way, can try to clue, but not the ge8
Got it. I know a similar word.
sort of like the soup pot
bye until tomorrow!
any chance for another hint at the ge8? not seeing it
yep, that one, saanichat. The soup one.
ciao, saani!
NBT, NBS
ge + white precipitation **ow + term for years with an extra vowel thrown in
wow that was complicated but perfect, thanks!
yw
I was going to suggest: anagram of atmosphere plus DNA
whihc would have been just vexing, I suppose.
i'm mulling both ge8 clues and not getting anywhere useful
It ends in the bottom right corner
hmmm, more coffee and continue to mull
dreg
oops see why i need more coffee lol
g + she has low self --teem + she got pissed so the comment clearly struck a ---ve + two vowels
It's just a mess of a word
Mixed up DNA material plus breathable stuff in reverse.
mmm, mulled coffee.
Not getting term for years with extra vowel. Decades, eons, not in grid
There a binch of words today that are a mess
Anagram of what you do with the rubber end of a pencil, plus a letter from Einstein's famous formula.
can you tell I'm a cryptic crossword fan?
Well ty melon but not getting it still. Darn. Even with einstein. Dont recal l his famous eqution…….except first letter.
Ge and white stuff i have as first four. Then struggling.
Yeah the 1st letter, which will be the second or 5th letter of this crazy word.
you are almost there!
OK, 5th is Einstin's first plus what you breathe, in reverse.
it ends like a pizza place can also be called a pizz****
What hurshy said!
It takes a village.
woops! I don't have NBT. Need to find an word for the 2nd column, 5th row E. That should be easy. .. NOT!
Okay, I will admit, I am laughing at that comment about the 5th row E
i'm not sure which E you mean...
She said second column fifth row
yes i know what she SAID, but i don't know what she MEANS, since, as you have also observed, there is no E in the fifth row
melon, do you mean the lower left? the one that has 5 words?
Oh, I just overlooked the miscount
Since there are no E's in the fifth row at all
oh, i thought that was why you laughed
phantom: legend
phantom: reason
are there any ry words today?
Hi, anything happen while I was gone? XD
yes, hurshy, the E with 5 word.
you wouldnt dream what you missed!!
phantoms:energize, resin, cerise.
no ry words today
Ah, 4th row, 2nd column. Sorry for the vexation, MollyL!
Ah! NBT, NBS.
NBT. NBS, and ≥ halfway. Mediocrity attained. Now I gotta get dressed and brush my teefers for a ZOOM hearing. Ciao for now!
a hearing? like a court thing?
i suppose there is no point in asking that question now lol
She is a casa volunteer
ahh right
what is casa besides a spanish house?
They are court advocates for children
ah
Thank you Carla, I was wondering the same thing.
I assume it's an acronym for something
?
Court Appointed Special Advocates
TIL TY 🤣
TIL?
If you want to get Latin...GAL Guardian ad Litem
today I learned
it's an internet acronym, ruru, not mine
oh jesus
LOL!
But say casa gal and someone is going to think something totally other
Ru, the absolute worst is the internet slang "I was today years old" WTF does that even mean?
yeah, I object to that one as well
I think that is a tiktok thing
no, I think it was on reddit before that
Sometimes I wonder if people realize how dumb they sound.
they don't care.. i learned that on facebook
Or even worse, they think the dumb sounds "cool"
Shall we start a pool to see what time mkg comes back wanting clues for that 8?
yesterday was a bit much for me
I need to read the archive?
Yesterday was the acme of mkg cluing. Especially the la11. It was too hysterical for words.
like i said it was akin to watching Stevie Wonder play tennis
Yes, it was over the top.
I wish she would just list like many other players.
but we all play the game as we want I guess
No Stevie would have played better than that. 😊
I don't have a problem with people who don't want to list. But if you are going to rely on chat clues, read over the archives before you start begging for clues already given several times.
morning
I really like Stevie Wonder always have
that's a good idea molly.. wonder why she doesn't do that
hey mool
hey ru, how's stuff?
too much work
doing ok.. doing a big remodel on my house and the noise is challenging though
yeah, as someone who likes quiet, I can appreciate that
how have you been.. I don't think I've seen you for a long time here.
We are doing a little remodel on our house and it is about to send me over the edge.
I love the quiet.. I thrive on it
yeah, I normally come on later....doing well...little bit tired this morning, but overall doing well
good.. still in Colorado? must be really cold there now?
moooo
yeah, actually 12 right now, with about an inch of snow on the ground
going to get back in to the 40s tho
mr. bf is remodeling our bathroom right now. just got off the phone with hime (I'm at mom's) about where the tub is going.
btw, one of the slurs I'd never heard of but learned it from kaplan pointing it out is here today
sorry, mr. hokie here (he's mr. bf at my other place)
Mr. Bea is remodleing the powder room. Little space but big headaches. And is missing a toilet!
still want to redo our hall bathroom, but only removing wallpaper and replacing sink with a vanity there. plus this is a test run for can we do the kitchen ourselves.
I'm combining two small bedrooms in to one really large guest suite and a large bathroom with a huge tub and walk in shower, and french doors out to the pool
<---will never use wallpaper
wow, I want to come stay with ruru
yeah, this wallpaper is pretty ugly
The kitchen floor is going be done while Mom and I are back in KS next month.
hey bea i bet you were happy the chiefs won the super bowl
Yes, we were.
weren't we all?
SIL took grand kids to KC for the parade. They had a blast!
no one likes eagles fans,right?
Mahomes is really something.. I just watched the very end.. i was kind of boycotting it because of the Eagles
Eagles fans are awful
Of course, those classy Eagles fans rioted in the streets of Philly when the Eagles lost
I saw a video of them overturning a car before the game
I hope they were holding each other and someone threw a penalty flag
I have heard some truly disgusting stories about Eagles fans at games
oh yeah
Mahomes is unbelievable. He was not going down, no matter what.
me too
Mahomes is going to have about 10 MVP awards in his career he's that good
But right now, he's going to Disneyland 😊
love mahomes
ah, everybody's favorite te6/21
thanks, would've missed it for sure
35 to go.. have to get to work.. bbl have fun everyone
bye ruru
well, HOET and 53 left. I need to get busy too.
phantom: sneeze (not a phantom in my actual life, as i just sneezed)
200 words!
167 words!
is the te8 weird or normal? i'm guessing it's a plural of a 7 but i mean, as a pair, if they are a pair, are they weird or normal?

one of those soup dish homophones

dealing with a headache today tho
9-17-13-8-3
ugh, sorry
it's okay, my head hasn't exploded yet
I am working on my mom's house today with a very heavy layer of dust, so I probably will need to take an allergy pill before bed.
good to hear, would be hard to finish this grid with an exploded head
I agree
found a word
brb
38 left now. just need 3 G's for 1st col gray. but back to work!
still 24 here...closest to a grey row or column for me is the bottom row...need an H
phantom: generic
actually, had the last column grey...and now the 4th column
hokie, if you're still around, use a covid mask for the dust. probably will have to still take an allergy pill, but maybe your reaction won't be as severe
hi
and hi to you, too
I keep trying to see Degeneres but I can't make it connect
Oh, there it is
welki, I did think about that but going to wear one when I go visit my mom later and would rather deal with the dust here than wear it for hours and hours..
and molly, ✅✅✅
need 2 H and 1 A for bottom row
found 1 H
hmm, henley not accepted
Did they call shirts that pre-year 2000?
Hilarious. A letter was just recently delivered in south London that was sent in 1916. No, I am not kidding.
wow
and you're saying the henley is as new as 2000? I think it's been around my whole life.
I guess it's a proper noun, Henley, but that didn't stop speedo.
Hello :) Got to NBT NBS
well that makes the last scene of Derry Girls seem slightly more plausible, I guess
(the letter from 1916 being delivered, i mean)
Interesting that Derry Girls has crossed the Atlantic. Did you enjoy it Hurshy?
sh7/40 clue, please?
sounds like a misspelling of a word that means shiny
Thank you!
yw
hello everyone
ty mool
hey nan, yw
that sh7 is another objectionable pejorative
if that is accepted, sheeld should be as well
stats for 8's other than the cr, please?
so many pt's and comparatives that make no sense at all
ge8 te 8
ty meatball
found the et
mean the te -- think it's time for lunch!
ii
Lots of nasty names for ethnic groups (or objectionable pejoratives if you're high falutin') in this game
???
help with cr8 please
do you have the cr 6/21?....it extends that....
don't have it
and don't see it
if you have the fishing basket (cr 5/12), just add a consonant in the middle for that cr 6...
ty so much pen
yw....i assume you got the 8, too....
yes
good...
I am looking for the ge 8 now
ah, that one i don't have.....will look....
no luck...
the type of the family of tropical American herbs having showy tubular flowers
yeah, right....might as well be a turkish weapon from the middle ages....but thanks anyway....
did not finish yesterday. not sure if I will finish this one either
tough one, for sure...
The only way to clue it, do a Google search on that
i will get back to it eventually....
40 left. may be back later
bye, peri....
hi again - down to 17
hi nan...30 left here....going to list....
listed at 60 something
well my first find with the list is a pl i was sure i had entered...
Pen, do you not do Google searches with clues?
sometimes and sometimes i just use Best Word List...
re 6/24 please?
don't have it....will look....
comes between the kings and to rent again
starts like the word before and ends with permit or allow....
I know I've entered a lot of the words I'm finding before
ty - do you suppose that is the prince?
hmmm....
ge 8 please?
no idea....molly clued it at 5:23....
figured i would look it up at the end...
hah - if I knew what is was, I would know the word!
If you do a Google search on the type of the family of tropical American herbs having showy tubular flowers
we were looking for a clue we could solve, not something to look up
Mixed up DNA material plus mixed up what you breathe
Tough crowd
ty molly --- I was soooo close - was reversing the n and s when I was trying it
so -- looking for the s 5 that is not in lickety's list
ty, molly....i am done....
S what?
stats for the s5 not in lickety's list?
The list and the grid both have the same number of words
NO -- it is an s6
no idea...i just finished with a list...no way of knowing what word you mean...
there are a few "one who" words....
and a pt for an se 4/4 that I don't recall seeing....
you must have it if you got firewords
the rest are ordinary Babble words....some PT and some "one who" endings....the oddest for me was a pt...
I may just give up - like looking for a needle in a haystack
the se 4 and 6 combo come after the one who plants things....
have thoe
you are sure it is a 6?
according to the stats I am missing one word --s 6
try adding the PT and "one who" endings to what you have...
all of the S 6 words are SE words...
running out of se 6 options
is there an sh 6?
6/18 x 2....6/21 x 2....
se 6/33....
or an sn 6?
that's it....
have that
only sn 6 is a "one who" word...
are you missing a 7?
that is it then - the sn 6
i tae that back....the sn is a 7....
oh - have those
need an sn 6 - have both 18's
ok - missing one of the sn 6/21's
there are no sn 6 words....
have the one who plants
and there are no sn 6/18 words....
oh no - I do have se 6/21 x 2
sure you are not missing an S 7 word?
the planter didn't make it into the word list -- just lickety's list. So all good and I am done. Thanks for your help :)
congrats....weird because both lists have same number of words...
I've never had that happen before!
perhaps it was an earlier problem and it got fixed?...
I don't understand. Lickety and the list have the same number of words
maybe -- I just tried typing all the 6's I had again and bingo!
perhaps a problem fixed....
the problem was, molly that all the spaces in lickety's list were filled, yet the stats said I was still missing one
well i am heading out....goodnight all....
anyway - solved and I am off for the evening -- bye everyone :)
CLUE for he 7 please
plural of Hank
TY MAGGIE got it

ah, it's a te8
