12:45 am

interesting info, rain. before nan asked which M, I was like, crap, do I have to remember what LSD stands for?

12:46 am

don't think I ever knew what LSd stands for

12:47 am

well, I know it if I see it maybe

12:48 am

In 1954, Aldous Huxley took his first trip on me 9. The 10 is a plural.

12:49 am

if lysergic or diethylamide are ever in the puzzle, I promise to just type them into chat

12:49 am

thank you...the hero we need

12:50 am

but see, we have lyse in the grid and I knew it started lys something

12:50 am

never paid much attention to that stuff. I don't remember illicit drugs other than pot being a big deal when I was young

12:50 am

me either

12:51 am

even the pot was in the 60's -- I was either at uni or teaching by then

12:52 am

was struggling with the right side E but then found some delicious ones for HOET! still 128 left though.

12:53 am

Well, I've achieved HOET too, but I still have a lot of A's to get, among other letters

12:54 am

I "just" need 10 A's.

12:54 am

19 here

12:54 am

but still need a LOT of s's and c's and m's

12:56 am

Leaving for now - goodnight all

12:57 am

12:57 am

good night!

12:57 am

struggling with that right e -- need 2 more for hoet

12:57 am

12:58 am

12:59 am

good night!

1:00 am

1:01 am

I think it's a good time to call it a night for me, too. I'm... uh... not quite done, though :-)

I wish I was sleepy

You got some good work done last night.

finding 34 a's is a win, right, bea?

8:19 am

you got a significant percentage! :)

8:20 am

How many A's do you have left?

9

8:20 am

Impressive

here's the word breakdown - 14-19-28-17-6

8:24 am

Words like that cr8 are what make this game so frustrating.

**Gives Winston some Mardi Gras beads

oh, is today fat tuesday?

did winston show you his boobs? 🤣

8:26 am

Get those pancakes cookin' woman.

8:26 am

<-----Whipping up a batch of pancakes

8:26 am

Does Winston have boobs?

8:27 am

We don't do pancakes on Mardi Gras. Gumbo and French bread for dinner though. And King Cake for dessert.

8:27 am

thanks for the earlier cr8 clue!

8:28 am

yw

8:28 am

what is king cake, Molly?

8:29 am

It is a traditional Mardi Gras dessert. Kind of a pastry cake with a little plastic baby baked in. If you get the baby it's good luck.

8:29 am

first time I've heard that biting into a baby is a good thing :)

8:30 am

wonder that the plastic doesn't melt when the cake is baked

8:31 am

I'm still freaked out by that silpat stuff that doesn't melt in the oven.

8:36 am

I hear you.. hubby bought some oven tray liners and I don't feel comfortable using them

that was a cr8 clue?

I just use parchment paper

8:37 am

me too

8:37 am

It was clued earlier, 7:57 or so.

8:37 am

cr8 at 7:56

maybe I will whip up some pancakes. I've heard of king cake but not pancakes on fat tuesday.

8:38 am

the idea is that they save on use of the paper and al. foil, etc..

8:38 am

The paper is weird too, when you think about it. I was always taught not to put paper in the oven.

oh french? forget about it.

yes, but this paper is specially made for the oven

8:39 am

Pancakes are a Shrove Tuesday/Protestant thing, I think.

though it does burn on the edges in the toaster oven

8:39 am

So is silpat and so are the babies made for King Cakes.

does anyone have a non french color clue?

8:41 am

stuff into + not quiet, n****

8:42 am

well, start with the word for stuffing things.. lol, mael beat me to it

8:42 am

Leave it to those whacky Irish...In Northern Ireland, the oldest unmarried daughter of the family would traditionally toss the first pancake. The custom stated that if the pancake flipped over and landed in the pan, she would marry that year. If she dropped the pancake, she would remain single.

8:42 am

There was a non-French clue, right before the French one.

8:42 am

makes a lot of sense

8:43 am

There is a town in KS, Liberal, that has a contest with a sister city in France every Shrove Tuesday. Woman race in high heels while flipping a pancake in a skillet.

well, I don't want to pull an mkg here, but I'm reading cramoise and yet it isn't taking. will go back and look at the chat again.

aha

8:43 am

Differnt last letter

8:43 am

adj ending will do it

8:43 am

someone should let Georges Santos know about that contest

8:44 am

hey ru

8:44 am

Don't drag queens race in high heels?

yeah, that's ridiculous (the word). who found that?

8:44 am

Who would even think to look for it?

8:44 am

me

8:45 am

en7/32......clue please

word nerd bea 😜😁

8:45 am

yay Bea.. it was your clue that got it for me

8:46 am

en + not far

8:46 am

And she doesn't mean near

8:46 am

or open either

geez, thanks. kept wondering how that would work

I did not have the other word

8:51 am

break time, bbs

bye aloy

again, I complain that oscar isn't accepted as a fish

8:56 am

Me too, Carla.

oh, yesterday one of my last 10 that I had to list for was tetra 🙄

well, if I could find one i and 2 e's I'd gray the right column

9:08 am

congrats on the doggo bea!

9:09 am

Thanks, mael.

9:11 am

ohh! I found the 9 and the 10

9:12 am

pays to be a Tori Amos fan

are you seeing things now?

9:13 am

not currently, no :)

9:15 am

she has a song called cactus practice from her night of hungers album which is about me9. I bought the tshirt at the time haha

9:15 am

(I'm consorting with druggies here jeez)

9:16 am

I'm a druggie adjacent, can't say I've ever tried anything stronger than weed

9:16 am

too chicken

I've never even tried weed

and I've also never technically been drunk. was buzzed one time.

9:17 am

I don't like the feeling of being drunk or high on pot

9:18 am

I definitely do NOT enjoy being drunk or even buzzed. mildly high is more pleasant

9:18 am

but mildly

9:18 am

I get edibles every time I'm near a recreational dispensory.

I'm too chicken. plus I'm pretty much the same with or without alcohol, so I'd rather save the calories for dessert.

9:19 am

I am thinking about trying some low grade edibles

9:19 am

edibles are great, I do miss the feeling of smoking though. cigarettes are gross and were never in the cards but there is something very pleasant about taking a drag for me

9:19 am

I love the taste of alcohol but I never drink more than one drink at a time, I do not do it for effect :)

9:19 am

cigarettes are horrible

well back to the game, I still need 11 upper S's and have run out of ideas

9:20 am

I drink one or two drinks to chill out from my day and then move onto water

9:20 am

You could do a one hitter or a vap pen, mael

9:20 am

but these days re: weed, there is no smoking or edibles for me. Kids took care of that just fine :)

9:20 am

oooh a big one

TWSS

9:21 am

what's TWSS

I'm basically stuck with 71 left

have found 13 words this morning

TWSS = that's what she said

9:21 am

yeah, I've taken a hit off a vape pen and it's moderately satisfying! But I do not like getting high anymore, can't relax if I know the kids might need something ( even if they are elsewhere, like with the grandparents)

9:21 am

ah

9:22 am

lol hokie

9:23 am

phantom: mosaic

9:24 am

If I had kids I'd definitely not do pot around the house.

almost a fiasco

9:24 am

oh yeah, that was never an option. But I can't turn that off even when the kids are not around

9:24 am

also almost a mosaic

9:29 am

anyone have both Ys? i got yi4

9:29 am

I just have the yi4 too

yi5

9:30 am

unless there are two yi4s and we have both... :)

9:30 am

9:33 am

✅✅✅ moo wins all the checks. not sure what bea was doing. 😜

I pity the fool bea

9:35 am

I was down in that corner...he was just an actor.

9:35 am

fw, need to finish packing.. headed off to Chandler AZ tomorrow. Last word was ts7.32, state of autocratic govt... Happy Babbling!

9:35 am

there now i have as many grey as hokie

9:35 am

Bye Gert

huzzah, aloy!

9:36 am

Richard Belzer died.

9:36 am

good work aloy!

9:36 am

I had that ts but thanks anyway ;)

9:36 am

who is he?

wow, who is richard belzer? he played det. munch on like 10 different shows

9:37 am

He played a detective in Law and Order. He also started out as a comedian. That's how I new him.

9:37 am

Richard Belzer was on Law and Order and Law and Order SVU.

9:37 am

ohh that one with the glasses?

he was even on an episode of x-files in that charater

character

yes

9:38 am

And who thought Munch was a good name for a detective?

9:38 am

aw bummer, I didn't know the actor's name but I could have recognized him anywhere

9:38 am

People are dropping like flies.

9:39 am

he was great on L&O

9:39 am

Belzer was also cousin of Henry Winkler

that TS7 was my last T on the bottom. another gray tile!

9:39 am

i've been watching the revived-original Law & Order, and i can't really understand why it is not as good as the original-original. they seem to have quality actors, but... i just can't put my finger on what it is that is less good. and i re-watched an original-original ep yesterday and it confirmed my sense that it was better.

9:39 am

I loved that character. With all his conspiracy theories and deep distrust of the government.

I did not know that, dorens

now just need 1 D and 2 E's on the bottom row

9:40 am

random fact that somehow popped up recently- I didn't know it either. Just knew him as a comedian back in the 70's

9:41 am

I only need 2 E's, 12 T's and 12 D's on the bottom row :D

so close

9:41 am

For the rapper, it was Munch's partner in L&O: SVU.

9:41 am

Hey doren

9:41 am

hi ru!

well, ice-t is in the grid too. two rappers!

9:41 am

and two L&O ers

9:41 am

That's how I first knew him, dorens.

9:42 am

Don't know why I even started this. Busy day and night ahead, but it just called out to me. 94 left now

9:42 am

well not two I guess, but it's in the convo

9:42 am

he was a funny comic

9:42 am

the siren song of babble

9:42 am

I'm probahly the only person alive who didn't get into the law $ order franchise

9:42 am

nope.. I also didn't get into it

9:42 am

60 words from one tile is TOO MANY

9:42 am

*Raises hand* There is at least one other

9:43 am

IceT is a bag of shit

I liked the original and watched SVU early on but didn't really watch the other ones

9:43 am

does seem a little excessive

9:43 am

yes, definitely siren song, hursh. So now I'll get nothing done all day cause I need to be out of here by noon and I've accomplished nothing but two cups of coffee, wordle, spelling bee and this

and I'm pretty sure moo didn't get into it since he doesn't watch other tv

9:43 am

That's pretty strong, ru.

9:43 am

he's a cretin

ooh, just grayed the R

9:44 am

L&O Criminal Intent was my favorite. But, then, I love Christopher D'Onofrio

9:44 am

It is, hursh. But mine is grey!

9:44 am

You go, carla.

9:44 am

i only ever liked the original

wow, bea. I still need 11 on that 60 S

9:44 am

right column gray, finally!

9:44 am

26 more on the 60S for me

9:45 am

but have found 200 words

9:45 am

I hadn't thought of the pastries

working on the A right now. still 7 there.

9:45 am

My proudest moment. Found the 9 and 10 myself

9:45 am

13 Ss left here

9:45 am

just got my 50th S

9:45 am

same dorens, it was very satisfying :)

oh, my sign is in here

9:45 am

aries?

9:46 am

more satisfying than the real thing, which I did try back in the 60's

9:46 am

april or march, hokie?

9:46 am

hah, then you missed a nice convo on drugs and lack thereof dorens

🐏🐏🐏

april

9:46 am

ah, I have a nice little supply of gummies and thats all i need, mael

9:47 am

phantom: larceny

9:47 am

me too, hokie. And my daughter, and my mom. :)

nice, it's a good month

9:47 am

april is the cruelest month

9:49 am

that's march over here :)

9:50 am

first pass complete....that could have been two boards right there

I know. down to 60 here.

6-14-23-13-4

9:50 am

Oh I agree, hate march. As a former educator, it was the only month that had no holidays. And a long and ugly month

9:50 am

135 here

9:51 am

30-34-38-22-9-1-1

no spring breaks in there, dorens? my kids' school always had it around easter, so it occasionally was in march

9:51 am

oh, I found a sedge

9:52 am

We always had a week for President's Day, and then Spring break was in April

9:52 am

we have winter break now and spring break in april, here in MA

wow, 2 breaks

9:52 am

for years I never took Holidays.. now I take every one of them :D

9:52 am

A whole week for President's day?

9:53 am

yes. Most schools in NJ and MA had them

9:53 am

ruru, reformed workaholic

9:53 am

yeah, but it's not about president's day, it's just the usual start of winter vacation

yeah, we used to end up at disney during the NJ one

9:53 am

Our kids get Christmas break and Spring break. No "winter break"

9:54 am

When I was a kid we had one day for Lincoln's birthday, and then one for Washington's. I'm a ddinosaur

winter vacation in NC is a week to ten days over xmas and new year

9:54 am

everybody ends up going for the same number of days in a year either way though. it's just how it's distributed that varies.

9:55 am

Yeah, the northern schools get out later in the year than ours. Mid June or something.

9:55 am

In terms of schools, when I was a kid there were no half days and teacher in-service days, etc. It seemed my son hardly ever went to school :D

9:55 am

I think each state decides how many days per year. Nj has crept up from 180 to 183, 185. changes frequently

NC is mid June

9:56 am

Northenr schools used to start later too though

my son at NC State just had a "wellness day" last Thurs.

9:56 am

always after labor day.

9:56 am

Mhm. The half days (teachers' inservice, are really a joke too

NC is around but not before Aug. 25 through around but not before Jun 12.

9:57 am

Maybe the flu and covid numbers were getting high, Carla?

he & I thought it was a mental health day

I asked him if he was going to a spa 🤣

9:58 am

my kids have a half day every wednesday

9:58 am

Not at all, the programs they usually made us sit through made us crazier. Huge waste of time, and we'd have rather been in our rooms doing teacher work

9:58 am

it's brutal

9:58 am

Every wednesday? Public school?

9:58 am

According to what I just read, all schools do not go the same number of days. It's close, but they don't all go 180 days. It is between 170 and 180 with Kentucky being the lowest at 170.

9:59 am

I once worked at a private school that had half day every Friday, But the pay was brutal

9:59 am

wow, i didn't know that, i thought 180 was required

10:00 am

It's Kentucky. They can't count any higher.

10:00 am

Well I guess it's chamged. It used to be 180 miinimum, but NJ had more

10:00 am

I wonder if they go longer hours? I think NC has gone more to counting hours than days. when my boys were in school they did a lot of weather half and full days and they always said they didn't have to make them up because it was total hours.

10:00 am

It's because Mitch McConnell wants to them them dumb

10:00 am

oh jeez.. i gotta go to work.. Have fun everyone

10:01 am

Apparently, Massachusetts gets away with every week a half-day thing because if you stay in school past 11:00 it is considered a full-day attendance. WTF?

10:01 am

bye ruru

10:01 am

I gotta eat some breakfast! bye all

10:01 am

I need to make my pancakes

10:01 am

Yes, that is the same in KS

10:01 am

🥞🥞🥞🥞🥞🥞

10:02 am

yeah, that's the way NC is too. I knew there was something about the half day thing. I'm telling you it is total hours now.

10:02 am

I wish that half day BS applied to work days.

10:03 am

haha

10:03 am

10:03 am

10:03 am

I was there til 11, pay me for the full day, thanks.

10:04 am

well that is what paid time off is, really, if you have it.

10:05 am

First and last column grey. Getting on with the day.

10:05 am

well done, bea

10:06 am

yeah, ways away from that for me :)

10:08 am

10:34 am

well that'll give you a little high then :)

10:34 am

10:34 am

10:35 am

ok thanks mool

10:35 am

think drugs and cactuses for the 9/10

10:35 am

10:35 am

10:36 am

11:01 am

I have 2 in7 from there

11:01 am

given that you only need one of each

good day.

11:01 am

11:02 am

if it means to like wrap around something I have it

11:03 am

11:14 am

11:14 am

hokie there is a weird pair - os6 and 7

11:14 am

it's not oline, no matter how many times I try
