I guess there are too many 7's to call
there are a lot of big ones this grid (though I am pleased with my af7 I admit)
Well there are 16x8s and 4 9s which is too rude lol

mmm - to make something that goes awry?
That worked for me...thx!
Fred Trump mi9 one of his children
not finding the af 9 - something that follows I assume
Yep! You're on the right track.
af9 is a compound
keep wanting aftermath
Me too! Actually typed it just because
I have no 7s. Yipes. But have 8s and 9
you'll find some mkg there's only 26 of them
found it
Yup. Ty ruru
Got one.
Oooh, big grid.
Good morning, Scrabs. yes -- too big. back later.
Hi and bye, Nan.
phew...half-way

the ohio house?
Florida full time now?
no, the fla. one.. crazy, huh?
wow really?
yes.. grove is kaput and the maintenance here is too much we think for part timers.
oh... that makes sense..
you've had a nice run there though
for sure! 20 plus years.. ready to stop ping ponging.
I don't blame you!
yes it will be nice to concentrate on fixing up the ole farmhouse as well as gardening again
well good luck with selling the property aloy. I would be happy to be leaving florida if it were me
ty ru.. good response so far.. we shall see
down to 105, gtg;; bbl; happy babbling!
this is one long ass grid to complete today
morning!
you think this is long, have you checked out the Hanukkah Squaredle?
morning hursh. hello all
was that like 500+? i opened it and then promptly closed it
hi peri
yeah 558
i paused at 358
well then 321 should be no problem :)
well and 358 is only how many words i've found that COUNT. i've also got 154 bonus words, things that would count here
need a lot of word play to distract my brain from the horrific Nazi nightmare i had just before i woke up
oh no
I've never had a nazi dream... like ever
you can thank your lucky stars for that
i have more frequent active shooter nightmares than nazi nightmares though. i've also had nightmares where i'm being tortured.
holy cow hursh
my brain may be pretty capable but it definitely has its drawbacks.
oh my, hursh
yikes any drugs for that? if i take muscle relaxers i'm totally out
That sounds like therapy stuff to me
i've had years of therapy, and my antidepressants do make me have fewer nightmares than without them...
what could possibly be the cause of them ?
the fact that there is such evil in the world and i know about it? i've never had any actual trauma myself.
i hope you will all take a moment to thank your brains for not doing that to you :)
there has always been evil in the world though
of course
the nazis were exceptionally evil though. I wonder why you dream of them.. it's odd
but people vary in how they react to and handle that
You probably already know that the cause of dreams like that are internalizing what you hear about evil and imagine it happening to you
oh.. you said a mouthful there hursh
i mean i've always been... like it doesn't matter who something happens to. it doesn't have to happen to me or someone i know in order for me to feel it deeply. that's why i get frustrated with people who only think about gun control after it happens in their own community or whatever.
200 left bbl
what i really internalized deeply is probably Donne's "no man is an island" ... never send to know for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for thee
or maybe it just resonated with me because i was naturally like that
nature & nurture can't be teased apart easily
sounds similar to a Highly Sensitive Person diagnosis ... although i'm not sure if that's dsm or just pop psychology
i don't think it's in the DSM but i definitely am one, i check almost every box on the list of it
and my next sister, the middle of us three, checks virtually none of them
It is also referred to as catastrophizing and it is a cognitive distortion.
my mom has about half, and my dad has about half, but with very little overlap, and it seems to me that that's a significant reason why they're so incompatible
catastrophizing, i used to do more. that's more where you constantly think it WILL happen, to you, etc. or that life is ALL bad. i don't think that way any more. but there's no denying that the bad is there.
It sounds like you are internalizing the bad things you see and hear about and they are manifesting as happening to you in your dreams.
obviously
That is thinking it will happen to you, subconsicously.
no, it's caring as much about others' suffering as i do about my own.
Not sure how that transfers into dreams of you being tortured
well i don't think anybody is sure how dreams work in general, lol
If it were others you were thinking of wouldn't your dreams be about them being tortured?
dreams don't always operate logically
Any clues for the T in fourth column, second row? Ty.
you have them in your mouth
minus a vowel for another
haven't got the third one yet
TY. SUPER CLUES.
And i thought the h was wasted.
not if you like to take a nice bubble ba4!
that's me at 200, break time. hursh, wishing you rest.
Ty missed that one too hurshy.
ty LA
The third t in that column ends in 3 consonants
yikes
I had to get almost all the t's before I found that one
well i guess lots of words do end with 3 consonants, idk why i would say yikes
Is that third T a te or ta? Ty
And how many letters please. Ty.
idk i still haven't found it
for Ru and Origami: https://tinyurl.com/j48s62je
but i found a 9! (mi9)
te6/24--a chemical ending
Is it from mi 6 21?
it uses the mi prefix on a c6
Ty
Got it.
a chemical ending that's also 3 vowels? hmm

anyone have both corner E? i only have et4
I just have et4.
i that e grey but i can't figure it out
ok, the te6 does not actually end with 3 consonants. that explains it.
The sometimes vowel is there.
yeah. and since it is being used AS a vowel...
the other e is et8.45
not ending with 3 consonants.
Name that toy with foam bullets an balls.
nerf!
thanks bea, will look
I will search, bea. TY.
it is a word we usually see abbreviated
ooh
Aha
yeah, and i thought it was two words, like a capella
I thought it was 2 words, like et alia.
yeah!
In Latin it is two words
so we're not all imagining it
And sometimes or not, people think of y as a consonant
oh, that et8 is odd.
oh, chemical te6 :)
To go with my chemical romance
:)
BBL, need to eat and run some errands. a

I found the af9
thank you for that peri.
I vacuumed the basement, stairs to the basement, part of Living Room and the steps into the living room. SO MUCH cat hair removed!
I could not handle a home covered in pet hair.
good thing you don't have pets.

hi again
still can't find that af 9
not before + look at your watch for the
ty bea - was certain I had tried that

ty Bea for et8
mi9 anyone?
mi 9: to make something that goes awry
hmm ty looking
ty nan
la 8-7 please?
I'm assuming the 7 is a latin plural
also need help with the pa 8's
the clues posted earlier didn't help
6 words left -- 5 eights and 1 nine
I have all the 9s do you know what you are missing?
pr 8-9
something you do to laundry before you put it in the washer
or pre and trick or *****
have no idea - just put it in the washer
ty peri
yw
4 eights left now
79 left here
do you have the pa 8's?
yes but do not know how to clue them. new words for me
I know one starts with the golf score, but can't figure out the rest of that clue
pa8/50 is a joint heir
or coheir
pa8/55 starts with to peel and ends with a theory or doctrine
they both start with golf score
will go list soon
ok - got the 8/50
good
and the 8/55 - ty
the pa8/55 start with to peel, then a consonant and then theory or doctrine
yw
that leaves me with the le 8 and the re 8/50
don't have those
can't be an le8
la 8, sorry
don't have it
I got it. it goes with la7/40
one who does it
figured that, but don't see how - not a word I know at any rate
dropping the last letter and adding er doesn't work
yes it does
don't know why it didn't "take" the first 2 tries
ty
yw
bbl
ok - thanks for the help
the r's are killing me as usual
i have all the r's.. just finised the p's which were awful
i'm still missing 11 think i will call it a day.
the problem with coming back hours later is you just end up typing lots of things you already put before
and you try something weird like ba5/16 and it says you already found that and you're like, wow, i totally do not remember that
CLUE for the pr 8/45 that is not part of the pr 8/9 combo please
what you do with your tongue
TY, I TRIED that before but must have transposed letters
last word 2nd rec/21 please
re6 a poem or a prayer etc
(talking it)
sorry I meant 3rd re5/21 okease
send out again - possibly electricy
