Down and left. It's a 4
ir4
duh!! as easy as that!
:)
Cardio not accepted :-(
I have a feeling I'm going to miss a lot of plurals today
this is a tough grid, I don't care what (I imagine) ruru says
I just started but I'm finding the first 2 columns tougher than they look.
phantom: acumen
I definitely have a lot of phantoms. also, not saying acumen is there, but several words I thought were phantoms actually are there in another direction.
I always try my phantoms first! :)
it's a good practice to keep from typing actual words in the chat
LOL...I try!
I spy a LOTR character
I spy a play that daniel radcliffe was in
Those bottom 2 t's are nasty
Oooh...thank you for the heads up...not quite there yet.
The play is Equus. Don't see a Lord of The Rings character.
minor character - think also horses
somehow I found the bottom 2 t's without looking. not even made it to that row yet.
Eomer, had to look it up. I can't keep track of all the weird ass names in that story.
and I forgot to give you ✅✅✅ðŸ´ðŸ´ðŸ´
✅✅✅
sister Eowyn
how do you even go about looking that up when you don't know what's in the grid?
Are you one of those people who has read the books a hundred times and gets dressed up and goes to conventions?
I got those T's no problem! :)
You do a Google search on horse man Lord of The Rings
*Hands out two Smarty Pants t-shirts
no, have read the books once but seen the movies quite a few times
Thank you, Molly :)
I love me some Karl Urban as Eomer
Ok, made first pass through, have one of everything, and 132 left :|
Love me some Karl Urban
and glad my hint was helpful
car, I said that here before and someone said he was ugly
:P no way
Well there are people who think Mick Jager is sexy so it takes all kinds.
yeah, that is whack
Karl Urban is okay. I wouldn't kick him out of bed.
okay, this N seems way worse than the T beside it
91 left after first pass. no HOET because of the N.
phantom neutron and now I'm singing pointer sisters
All this talk of Karl Urban's hotness was too much for my laptop and I had to do a hard reboot!
oh if guys were talking like that in the chat.. there'd be hell to pay :D
hey, molly's the one talking about not kicking guys out of bed 🤣
ruru, can you give me a hint on the N? I have ne4 only.
ha, found them
HOET!
ne4/5
I peri'd that, sorry
last col gray!
Nice!
this H is a mystery, only one way to go, so how do I still have 7 more words
oh, just found a 7/8 there
well, time to get ready for tennis. 66 left for later.
ames
oops
good morning evryone :)
Good Morning cybernan
hello there nan
hi saanich -- hear you are getting some nice warm temps.
and lots of good rain too, it's been a great start to winter. How about where you are?
cold for the last couple of weeks. Lots of rain though.
there was an st 7-8 and a 9 called last night, but not seeing them
tummy stuff
ty - couldn't see that last twist even though I was looking for it. Thought it was a phantom.
it takes guts to find it nan
oh, don't start - too early in the morning for puns :)
sorry, I do tend to bladder on with puns
(you can add that to your groan count)
thanks.. it's been a rough year for groans
I've been sleeping in, so missed you the last couple of weeks.
I've also been lurking a lot not feeling like chatting
been following the news with some concern - hope it is just the press sensationalizing things. I don't understand how a man convicted of fraud can be nominated and run for political office of any sort, let alone president.
I completely understand. it's total insanity here right now.
hello
the religious right seems to overlook his sinful flaws as a human being.
I don't think anyone really understands how it's possible without losing all faith in sanity
I like this headline from BBC News' website: Judge asks Trump to stop with the speeches
hi mael
hey saanich, how are you?
I can only imagine the exasperation in the Judge's voice
all I can say is if he wins the nomination and is allowed to run I will be selling off all my US holdings.
I might actually head back to Europe, not that Europe is doing MUCH better these days
he's winning the nomination for sure. Unfortunately he's leading in the polls as Biden is too old to run (in many people's opinions)
although Trump isn't a spring chicken either.
I don't believe those polls, ru
I thought Biden said he wasn't going to run.
there's a LOT of manufacture horse racing
Trump is only 3 year younger than Biden.
here's hoping mael.. i hope it's just an error
Biden is running, as far as we know
can't see a viable alternative to biden either
riot
riots
hah, that is a viable alternative yes ;)
sorry
... besides Harris ... is there any possible Democratic alternative ?
sounds like you are in the same boat we are -- you have to vote for the least of all evils.
Biden is healthier in mind and body than trump will ever be
I'd happily vote for Harris but a big contingent wouldn't for... many reasons
agreed, saanich. the age thing wouldn't be an issue if the press hadn't been pushing it as an issue
the glass ceiling is still there?
there are Democrats who could run, but they don't have the national presence to run. It's insane that the Democratic party hasn't pushed some candidates forward.. no one wants to take it from Biden.
and trump has pushed that
amongst others, nan. yeah.
I want Katie Porter to run!
I don't think I'd vote for Harris... she's too far to the left
... that's what I feared
which is ridiculous because Trump has pushed any number of absolutely insane narratives that shouldn't be given the time of day
it's his malignant narcissism that continues this lie. And his cult follows it
agreed mael
I would think that too far left is better than extremist right if that is the only choice.
any day, nan
... it's the one skill that he has ... he is the best user of the internet ... ... and the more times he says something the more some people will accept that it must be correct ... unfortunately
certainly not voting is not an option.
I would vote for Satan before I'd vote for Trump
... yeah ... but you're supposed to be voting for something as apposed to voting against something else
voting against something else works in a pinch
hey speaking of, trump is in the grid, id5
ha!
I've voted for candidates to the right of my ideal political stance all my adult life because the alternative is terrifying. Holding back my vote for the perfect candidate to appear is nonsense
hah
... sure ... but it's frustrating ... ...
absolutely frustrating
especially this important election mael... we're on our way to Nazi Germany if this goes badly
but I come from a multi party country and let me tell you that is no better
the closest i ever came to voting FOR is obama
agreed, mael
... scary thought isn't it ....
lately it's been all voting against, sad but true
only ad vantage is the minority government keeps everyone in check
unless the minority government is like the current US congress then good luck
I think that's what we are looking at after our next election
I'm heading out to go to a meeting, chin up! I do have faith that sanity will prevail
morning all, diving in
quenches
phantom diarist
phantom diorama
direct
I said just this morning on FB that I wasn't expecting much from Biden to start with, I've always thought of him as Obama's court jester, in a way - but I've also always felt that he means well, at least, and will take advice from those who know more. I don't feel that Dump45 either means well OR listens to good advice.
ok, done with political commentary on my part at least. ;)
need to take a break from this - bbl
i will be happy to discuss politics civilly, with anyone who can be civil, thanks bud
phantom teacart
nbt finally, 182 to go
I enjoy political conversations as long as they stay respectful. We have lost at least one regular player because they did not.
100% MollyL
it's far easier to snark (in my case) than to be thoughtful in commenting -- so apologies in advance if I'm too snark and dark
Hi all. Any clues for the 9?
I haven't been able to vote FOR in a very long time and I will not vote AGAINST.
left column done, woot
I find it sad that i also vote for the candidate i feel is the better choice but not a good choice. I did think clinton was a good president. I also voted for GW Bush but he then changed course and i regretted it. I told my kids it was sad that they were always choosing from second rate candidates and not wonderful people. I happen to like Nikki Haley but i am told she doesnt stand a chance. Very sad.
Anyway it is sad to say that the brightest and best are not going into politics anymore. That is my firm belief.
phantom traditor
So does anyone have the 9? Would love hints.
st 5,7,9,8 ... where the food goes when you eat it
ST 9/72 - related to the tummy
Got it! Tytyty

oh btw that dialect word for addressing a lady in the Wild West, if you add a couple letters you have an animal for 6, and pl.

I found cream cheese on a bagel

woot, love coming in to clues
whilst eating my homemade apple-cranberry sauce
hate to say it...I've officially started Christmas baking :|
For your business or personal?
won't things be stale by christmas if you bake them now?
ra
Both. I heat seal my cookies and they stay fresh for months.
I was thinking stale too
I'm making my nieces and nephews cookie advent calendars this year, so with the leftover dough I am starting to cut out the mini shapes. I can also freeze them to keep them fresh.
good for you car. Plan to make my first batch of shortbread when I finish this grid.
yum...shortbread is one of my weaknesses....
mine too -- only make it for Christmas
I always make "too much" ginerbread dough, so i can have it in the freezer for "emergencies" throughout the winter. :P
good plan!
so fancy
ugh - still have 45 to go. Think I will mix up that shortbread now -- has to chill for an hour before baking.
Good plan
i have 27 left, thinking it's a good time to list
tada!
Well done!
first batch in the fridge -- feels good as I was putting it off all last week

I am leaving, happy babbling
have to stop to listen to the end of Tchaikovsy's 1812 overture -- just love that piece.
he 6/27 please?
I don't have it nan
it's like the painful things that happen to your heinie, without about four letters in the middle. (same ending as the fake humans, andr***)
what do we call that, the robotic ending? I forget.
had to look it up - robotic ending - what rbud said
on my way -- shortbread will be ready for the oven soon, so better pre heat it.
oh, I saw talk of this shortbread earlier, yum! :D
anyway, all done! anyone need a clue or two?
oid
oh, I wasn't asking what it was, I was asking what we call it. Guess I remembered rightly.
Funny you forgot it, it was part of your clue
