greetings, Earthlings
hello
hi sukee, how are you?
Not bad, looked like summer was here last week but we are back to early spring
How are you doing?
doing all right. happy the sun is shining today and it will be warmer than yesterday.
Rain is predicted for here today, but at least it's not freezing or snowing.
The cats never leave the windows at this time of year. Lots to look at.
oh. we're supposed to get scattered thunderstorms today. well the sun is shining now! should get almost to 70 degrees, too!
I guess our weather is pretty similar, we aren't that far apart
I see on your profile you are in Kitchener. I am west and slightly north of you, in Midland, MI
I'm always surprised that Michigan is north of here :)
I've been pretty close to you - Mississauga, and Toronto.
I lived in Toronto for about 35 years.
Having trouble getting to halfway here
it sure is not as easy as yesterday's grid
and just reached halfway
well done
I am just over half now
pardon me, would you happen to have any phantom poupon?
to6, please?
I just started, sorry
NP
found it thanks
regular word or weirdo?
it is not something I ever heard of before
ok, I won't bother then, thanks
on a speed run to get to half
HOET would be nice but having to move on from some without half
oh well, 1st pass done. 66 left. no HOET. peace out.
Is cr8 a compound word?
I just now found it. No it is not.

no nocturn(e) in the grid
Oh but so close to a real word.
morning all
Hi moo.
Any clues for the first column P or E words? So stumped.
hey mkg
first column p - what you get as a settlement
Settlement? For what? Not getting it moo. Ty
Oooh just got it.
like a legal settlement
Great clue.
Ty
or being fired
Ty
As a realtor for me settlement is when you buy a property
Ty
np
Still need the E if anyone has it. Ty
the e vaguely sounds like those cream or custard filled food, different ending tho
Got the food. Is the e a 4 or 5 or 6?
5/6 combo
well the word is a 5/6 combo
the similar sounding food is 6 :)
Ty looking
Got them ty for super clues
How about the N word for fifthcolumn N? Ty
yw
Also i have no 7s or 8s or the 9.
well the n starts like "night time creature" and ends a similar spelling to a type of fabric
Any help welcome
Ry
Ty
Night time creature? As in animal?
well when you have a creature that is up at night, there's an adjective that describes those types of creatures
Got that. Need two Ns for that word. What is the stat for the N? Ty
yeah, ends differently
no 7/36
Ty
Looking. Ending must be different.
I assume first four are same letters and then i am lost. Any help welcome
HOET
What does hoet mean? Sorry
Half Of Every Tile
Oooh great moo!
tx :)
58 left now
If you have any clues for 8s or 9 let me know please.
Or sevens as i cant find the no 7 word.
haven't found any eights or the 9 yet
i will let you know if i do.
a few sevens: Office work area (individual) French president (plural) A remote fort, camp or settlement Something that you don't want to get into
Ty. Got some. Ty
found another one, which is a mash up of something you use to fasten your shirt and something you might sprinkle on your salad
Ou 7 is your third clue i believe.
Got cu 7. Your first clue. Ty
yes, that is correct
there's a similar sounding one that is a 7/8 combo
Be 7: be + someone can put a spell on you and you are this.
But diff. Spelling.
ah, didn't have that...tx
another one...plural of a film director's last name (or husband of Elizabeth Taylor)
oh and mother figures
okay, gonna step away...30 to go
hi all. help with bo7 please
sorry don't have
oops just got a 7 ending on a 4/7
yes, sort of like bit of bread on salad
seain, have you flown anywhere recently? I need some advice.
Lost march to Denver, then days later to LA, then few days later back to DC. a year ago march.
I'm in Colorado now flying again Monday and then twice in May and June
but lots of my friends fly a lot, what do you want to know?
help with ca9 please
hm. sort of mathematic and robotic all at once. it's an 8/9. Might be a machine that dose math.
maybe
trons
snap!
there's the last four/five
everything changes so quickly, web data not always accurate. i see American tourister carry ons saying they are compliant but are off compared to delta's limits.
referring to carry-on or checked baggage ?
i started too late, would like to have bought away. But they claim to have passed off bags a little our of spec at multiple airports.
carry on. i am paying enough as is and need to catch transport without waiting for baggage.
also thinking i wan lyft to get home but if they don't show up, it's me and 40 of my homeless friends.
55 left this one is hard
Oh, yeah, they are stickers for carry-on for each plane. force gate-check sometimes.
i saw lyft can be pre booked
this grid is challenging, yes
yes, lift and cabs both can be booked for specific times.
how the heck can AT claim their carry on is compliant? and Away that they passed off carry ons when expandied?
i don't like the samsonite but may have to go with it. away has much better features.
generally compliant may not match specific airline compliant.
I hav AT bags, and had no trouble last few years with KLM, United, nor Delta.
delta is now 22x13x9 including wheels.
oops make that 22x14x9
what was your carryon size?
We flew delta in march. I can tell you there was every size carry on imaginable.
thanks bea
i have a gifted vera bradley duffle but it won't work when crammed. plus i have to carry it.
good morning/afternoon everyone :)
all corners done finally
anyone have stats for the lone n please?
no 7/36
keep wanting nocturne
not finding that no 7
is it really weird?
not finding it, so gave up and got all the Os instead sorry
still need one o from the left and 4 from the right
i think you should be able to outcon
NO 7 ends with a mis spell of netting for a dress
the no7 is very much like your phantom
ty good
and ty be
I'm skipping the NO for now. Sticking it with the CA 8, 9
oh wow - don't have those either
found a ca 7
I'm stumped by the cr8
is the ca 8 also a compound?
no
ok -- heading for list now
is the cr 8 compound?
no
think of the 90's movie about the salem witch trials for the cr8
didn't see the movie
clue for the ca 8-9 please?
start like the adding machine ends like the big screens at large arenas
mathy science like word ends like robotic ending
ty bea and cheryl
thank you so much got the witch trials too read the book in school maybe
cI scored 53 points in this Spelling Bee game ?? https://spellbee.org/. crubopyc
don't know where these posts are coming from
didn't know the salem witch trials have another dame
all I know about it is a bunch of men suffered some misfortunes and blamed it upon a bunch of defenseless women
and then dreamed up some crazy reason to murder them
It was a book written by Arthur Miller
ty - googled arthur miller - have heard of it, but never read it nor saw the movie
po

Wow, Arthur Miller's book was required reading when I was in high school
Hello to my fellow babblers!How is everyone doing today

Tomorrow, please have a lobster roll - I live my life vicariously through your seafood lunches :)
hah!
had steamed lobsters about a month ago....they were yummy....
i found a fresh-ish seafood store about 40 minutes away - they have beautiful fish, live lobster and lots of frozen seafood (like the humongous lobster tails i bought and want more of - they were 12+ ounces each!)
the lobster shacks will probably open in another month or so....
wow....that is BIG!
i wish they had live crab, but they're geared more towards east-coasters (except for the chilean sea bass, which was pricy, but deeelish)
i can often eat good crabmeat....mostly crab rolls....
mmmmm ... i prefer picking a dozen blue claws (or one dungeness) to a lobster, but will take whatever is in front of me :)
we get peekytoe crab sometimes....love that name... ;oD
oh man, that reminds me of when the kids were small - we rented a house on the beach in maryland and i bought a bushel of blue claws for the house (we had a bunch of company)...
and jonah crabs....
... hysteria ensued when our youngest started sobbing, 'what if it's a mommy crab, who will feed her babies'
aw....
the sadness was relieved with crab races
hah!
well i am heading out....goodnight welki....thanks for the help....
i don't think i've ever had peekytoe or jonah crabs - i think they're northern species, yes?
yes, i believe they are...
oh pen, the house, although we rented it for a few seasons, was a wreck. the realtor said the name was "the sea ranch," but we called it "the sea raunch"
but it was right on the beach and the a/c worked - heaven!
i bet...
well goodnight weki....
well, time for me to head out - thanks for the convo, pen
^5 - g'night
ditto...bye...
