WFH!!!!!!!! i love WFH

8:23 am

looking for the last one here TO

I have two but still early in the game.

hating that i need to go shop. the cupboard is bare. have been in extreme heat but the humidity is making a big difference. dry heat is easier but not easy.

a/c is on its last legs.

8:26 am

i guess you are in phila ??? i'm in the burbs it's cooler here .. but, my a/c is broken ... do you have central or window

8:27 am

I have my AC serviced twice per year

in burbs. was away two weeks and not a drop of rain here.

8:28 am

my compressor took a spike last august .. i've got to tear everything out and start over ... 30yrs of attic stuff to remove

yikes

my unit is in attic as well. no way anyone will replace now.

8:29 am

my grass crunches when i take the dogs out .. my weeping willow is bad looking .. most leaves gone

so i will get a window unit for sleeping if needed.

8:29 am

i'm doing mine ... i've a guy who'll make the final hook-up to new pipes once i've got them in place

i was worried about everything while away but my neighbor did a great job. everything survived except grass

no way i will water a lawn.

are you philly burbs?

8:31 am

home depot had a $125 one i got for bedroom 2 wks ago .. works great .. 5K BTU ... check outlet load before buying ... amps on breaker define what you can install

thanks for the info

8:31 am

yes, sesame place area

i think we have the worst humidity on east coast. air you can wear.

i am just back from vacation, desert like conditions.hotter hear than there now.

8:36 am

owl, maybe you haven't spent time in DC area, the humdity is worst there ... the area was pretty much swampy land

i have not in summer

well better get going, before it gets worse.happy babbling

8:40 am

8:40 am

on + not we

8:40 am

on4/5

8:40 am

omg, how did i not see that

9:01 am

People miss that word a lot

9:03 am

ty hurshy

9:03 am

The DC area weather now has nothing to do with what it was 200 years ago

9:04 am

not understanding your comment

9:05 am

was there for 8+ yrs .. summers were horrid

9:06 am

Summers are very humid. But that has nothing to do with what the land was 200 years ago when the city was built.

9:09 am

It is a myth that DC was built on a swamp.

rrrrrrrr

Venice was built on a swamp

9:56 am

mollyl, than i stand corrected ... it's all low land and water is around it ... but, there the humidity is worse than PHL i think ..

10:13 am

I think the humidity is downright terrible in Charlotte where I used to live and now where I am in SC, so I can't imagine Philly's is worse.

10:27 am

I'm finding this grid to be difficult.

10:29 am

I was trying for a quick HOET this morning like mael and only found 7 of the first A.

10:31 am

have no idea how there are 48 L's

10:31 am

oh, found 3 more a's

10:32 am

and 3 more

10:35 am

typed antlion just in case

10:38 am

10:41 am

well I have all the un words now

carla

10:46 am

10:47 am

TO! moo!

10:48 am

Definitely an accurate assessment of the current time.

10:48 am

ooh....good sized grid.....hello all....

10:48 am

hmm, wondering what dauber is referring to

10:48 am

pen!

10:48 am

carla!

10:48 am

hey hoke

10:49 am

made it to the other A and can't find any. no quick and easy HOET today.

10:50 am

249 to go :)

10:50 am

110 here

10:53 am

have found some n4 and some candy with n4

11:01 am

hello

11:01 am

hi mael...

11:01 am

mael!

11:02 am

hey mael

allo allo

11:03 am

hi TO...

hello pen

11:03 am

hey TO, happy whatever day it is

11:03 am

don't quote me on this but I think it's tuesday

11:04 am

it's possible

yeah. it's tuesday. so i guess things are approaching normal

i went out to buy food now it's too hot to eat.

ugh

11:04 am

yeah, we have a heat advisory

11:04 am

I'm "listening" to work "rah-rah" stuff

you mean there is no i in team and that crap?

11:05 am

something vaguely like that

11:05 am

"we're so amazing, you're so amazing"

11:06 am

74 here...a little humid...

11:06 am

finished first pass with HOET but still 85 left. this is a very hard grid.

have you ever visited the demotivation website?

11:06 am

On third line...95 to go

11:06 am

88F, feels like 98 here

11:07 am

79 here, feels more like 70 with the AC on ;)

it's called despair.com

11:07 am

it is so gross outside here in MA

it is hotter here than in athens.

11:08 am

It's gross here too mael. How were the bees?

11:09 am

the bees were sweating

11:09 am

very few, disheartening

11:09 am

hopefully it's just the suffocating heat

11:09 am

I think they had a rough summer last year, too much rain

11:10 am

You have a hive, mael?

11:10 am

Mael is the Queen Bee

11:11 am

I do, but these are native bumblebees I'm helping catalogue

i bought catmint, it seems to attract bees. but i think it mayh be invasive

11:11 am

Cool.

11:11 am

I volunteer for a local land trust, we're trying to reestablish some meadows in town

11:11 am

yeah, native plants are better for the wildlife, if possible

11:12 am

oh, just found sa5. glad I didn't use it in talking about how miserable it is outside.

11:12 am

Catmint isn't as invasive as other mints.

11:13 am

it's just not as helpful as a mountain mint, for example

11:13 am

the non-native species are essentially just twinkies for pollinators

when i see it at shopping enters it seems to stay in a nice globe shape

11:14 am

first pass done

11:14 am

We are gearing up for the Great Southeast Pollinator Census.

okay i need to take this cabinet door odd the hinges before the intact one fails. later

11:15 am

ohhh, good luck bea (for the census) and TO (for the cabinet)

11:15 am

*Imagines bees lolling about eating Twinkies

mint is awfully invasive/ nut i never remember it's flowering

oops i take back that apostrophe

11:17 am

oh, I lied about the HOET. only have 1 top row E

11:17 am

have typed etna and etui JIC

;ater

later

11:18 am

adios, to

11:18 am

5OFOET

11:18 am

The mint I have doesn't flower, but it is good in Mojitos

i had mint in stuffed peppers and tomatoes and in salad. it was good but i never liked it in drinks.

no juleps for me

11:19 am

I like it in tea and lemonade too. Juleps are great

I'm counting a confection that has them inside, hurshy

3:48 pm

3:48 pm

hey mool

3:48 pm

I did get the TS4

3:52 pm

name that proper noun! a friend of Charlie Brown

3:52 pm

tspecial!

3:52 pm

linus

3:53 pm

I really hated Charlie Brown

yeah, I tried linus too.

3:53 pm

ding ding ding

3:53 pm

why did you hate charlie brown

3:53 pm

I'm not entirely sure to be honest

3:54 pm

fascinating

3:54 pm

but there was nothing amusing or entertaining about it for me

3:54 pm

and I really disliked that music too

3:55 pm

well what bout just the strips in the paper

3:55 pm

no music there

3:55 pm

nope

moo is apparently a psychopath

3:55 pm

apparently

🤣

3:56 pm

there are very few things life I hate

3:57 pm

i hate animal print fabrics

I'm with you on that. I don't get them.

3:58 pm

and greed

anyone finish the P and know what my missing one is?

phantom neutral

3:59 pm

haven't tried P yet

just did my best beavis (or is it butthead?) laugh

how about my right side A?

4:03 pm

i mean, you gave ME one from there

I know, was going to direct the question to moo but thought you probably found it since coming back

4:06 pm

no i have been working on letters i hadn't gotten to at all before

moo must be back to work

4:08 pm

do you have pr8

4:08 pm

i just got that

4:08 pm

sorry, helping my daughter setup for a zoom call

nope

weird? the pr8?

perfectly good excuse, moo

4:09 pm

I have no pr8

hurshy told me about it

4:10 pm

well it might be weird to you but familiar to me because in Star Trek IV, McCoy says, "This woman has immediate post-pr8, upper-abdominal distention!" which means cramps

LOL. umkay.

4:10 pm

I'd say that's weird

4:10 pm

has to do with the stomach

4:11 pm

well, food.

4:12 pm

you get the stomach cramps after having a meal, so that makes them post-pr8

I was following all that but still don't know the word. am trying to look it up as we speak.

4:13 pm

but now i am missing one P too, so you must have one that i need

4:13 pm

maybe you missed the nutty one, and not the pair of nutty ones

4:13 pm

pr8 ends with the **** tone that you hear before you make a phone call

once I find this one I'll guess

4:14 pm

no, i have pr7

4:14 pm

then check you plurals

4:14 pm

because earlier hokie was talking about all the nut words she has

4:14 pm

and the 4s

well, I found a word that ends in that but is not what I found

4:14 pm

hokie is nutty?

will look again

4:14 pm

tx for the pr8

4:15 pm

10 to go 1-5-1-2-1

ok, got it

I earlier declared this the nuttiest grid ever

4:15 pm

sweet

4:16 pm

found my last i

4:16 pm

so now 56% of my remaining words are 5s

incredible! impossible!

4:16 pm

what was it

what was the full stat, P&TY

4:16 pm

i6

ps - who else has tried inlaw just in case

4:17 pm

in7/32 sorry

see, I said full stat because I knew you'd do that 😜

4:17 pm

I'd already typed i6 :)

4:17 pm

it wasn't full and it wasn't even correct lol

4:17 pm

which was wrong anyway

4:17 pm

the ultimate subversive clue

really keep us guessing with the wrong stat

4:18 pm

yeah, all part of my evil plan to finish first

not that the stat is helping me at all

4:19 pm

sounds like a sugar

4:19 pm

actually an enzyme

4:19 pm

ooh i was so close, tried that with T in place of S

4:20 pm

didn't realise you guys were looking for it

got it, thanks

4:20 pm

i checked my list of P words and cannot see any missing plurals or find another P4 either :(

do you have pr6?

4:21 pm

on pr5 maybe

4:21 pm

i have 3 pr5 and one pr6

or the thing hiding in oysters

4:21 pm

there's a standalone 5

4:21 pm

secret codes to coca cola formula?

i have 4 pr5

4:22 pm

then you have all the pr5

4:22 pm

oh, hursh doesn't tho :)

4:22 pm

coca cola???

4:22 pm

thank the lord, we found it!

no, hurshy doesn't. she's prob missing the one that rhymes with a church thing

4:23 pm

thanks, got it now but i don't see what that has to do with coca cola

it's a mineral, who knew

4:23 pm

I did not I admit

maybe he was talking about another one

4:23 pm

i don't see what ANY of them have to do with coca cola

4:24 pm

nothing, I was guessing what was hiding out in oysters

4:24 pm

ohhhhhh

lol

4:24 pm

well at least all of us are finished with the P words now

moo, did you know we are looking for an A on the right side?

4:25 pm

me too

4:25 pm

55.55555555% chance it's a 5

ok

3-10-10-9-1 here

4:26 pm

aHA

4:26 pm

it's as8

yes...

4:26 pm

a + st7

wow, first try. thanks

4:27 pm

oh, tx

4:27 pm

:D

4:27 pm

now 1-5-1-1

didn't have that s either

4:27 pm

3-5-6-6 lol

4:28 pm

probably the same 5x5 eh hursh?

4:28 pm

ALL five the same? idk, i feel like the odds of that are actually kind of low

4:28 pm

so you're saying there's a chance?

okay D2 W2 N3 T4 R2 A4 L9 S3 T2

4:29 pm

raindow - the stuff they make rainbows out of

4:29 pm

D N T R A L S D

just found an easy N4. thought for sure I had that

4:29 pm

wow you are missing a lot of L

4:29 pm

but you have one of my fourth row R

4:29 pm

found my bottom d

yes, and I have looked very hard several times for the L's

dynomite

4:30 pm

lovely

4:30 pm

ok well i am missing 3 L but so far i've got 21 LA, 11 Li, and 13 LU

do you have the R5 like the T5, hurshy?

4:32 pm

ummm not sure i have whatever T5 you mean

ok, also have 21 LA and 11 Li but only 7 LU, so I will look there.

4:32 pm

yeah, lu might be worth a peek

ra5/20. multiple indian friend on big bang theory

4:33 pm

ok got that AND the T, woot

4:33 pm

so unless you were also missing both of those, mool, then we were not missing the same five fives

4:34 pm

I was not missing either of those sorry

well, found 3 LU

4:34 pm

though had no idea what the clue was...had to look through my list

2-9-9-7

4:34 pm

hey don't be sorry that just means i was better at assessing the odds than you lol

4:34 pm

solid start hoke

4:35 pm

humans are incredibly bad at assessing odds, especially when it comes to risk

well you don't watch tv

4:35 pm

found another la6, rhymes with an M word that is to do with ocean-related things

4:36 pm

I am thus charged, judged and convicted

4:36 pm

I always think of it as an outhouse without tea :)

well I have that one, plus another similar that ends in alcoholic bev, hurshy

so now I need another la word plus at least 3 lu

4:37 pm

don't forget the verandah

4:37 pm

and they get worse at assessing risk when drunk, hence the guy who died recently when a firework was set off on his head while he and his drunk friends were messing around

have the porch

there's an lu4

4:37 pm

alcoholic... beverage...

4:37 pm

mooned and mini moons?

4:37 pm

not ale...

4:37 pm

lu ones

red and white

4:38 pm

and rose

4:38 pm

ahhh thanks!

4:38 pm

also plum

oh, didn't have the mini moons

4:38 pm

rice

4:38 pm

wowee that brings me down to only one missing L

4:39 pm

a variety of fruits come to think of it

4:39 pm

I too have a missing L

moo's just throwing out word salad now

4:39 pm

56% chance of it being a 5

4:39 pm

salad was one of my phantoms

me too

not sure about the plum/fruit ones

4:40 pm

phantom salad...it's actually just a steak and some potatoes

3 L's still

4:40 pm

plum alcoholic beverage

4:40 pm

plum wi4, other fruit wi4, is all he was saying. the fact that they exist. and rice wi4.

4:40 pm

got the li vines?

oh, thought that was an lu word

4:40 pm

or the "pt" of the fibber

yep

4:41 pm

hursh gets me (in this narrow instance)

4:41 pm

name that proper noun! guy who betrayed Han Solo, OR, F1 driver Norris

4:42 pm

Billy Dee Williams :)

4:42 pm

well yes but none of that is in the grid lol

lol, I couldn't rem. his name either

4:42 pm

oh

4:43 pm

I was just reading about him two days ago too

4:43 pm

randomly

4:43 pm

you can't REMEMBER his NAME??

4:43 pm

Lando

4:43 pm

lando

yes!

4:43 pm

ding ding ding!!!

calrissian

4:43 pm

calrissian

👵🏻

4:44 pm

i am almost as horrified as when my sister told me she didn't remember the equation of a straight line is y = mx + b

4:44 pm

Yeah,too late with the last name

4:44 pm

say what?

I don't think anyone answered my video game NTPN

4:44 pm

what was the question?

4:44 pm

when did you do it, hokie? i think i missed it

4:45 pm

of course i know very little about video games other than mario and tetris

4:45 pm

mario played tetris?

4:45 pm

Well fair play Hurshy, the things that horrify you perplex most of us

yeah you were gone. not sure when. it is a mario character!

4:46 pm

not luigi... yoshi... peach... wario...

4:46 pm

oh no yes WARIO

4:46 pm

wario is in there

✅✅✅

4:46 pm

and AHA that led me to one of my missing W words, wa7

guess I need that one too

4:47 pm

yeah, had all my w's

need 2 w's

4:47 pm

it is a regular word

phantom warrant all day

4:47 pm

samurai ones... klingon ones...

4:47 pm

probably the w5 as well

4:47 pm

don't forget ninja ones

4:48 pm

well i didn't want to pick two from the same culture

4:48 pm

terracotta?

well I found the 7. not sure about the 5.

4:48 pm

me also not sure about the 5

4:48 pm

and weekend ones

4:49 pm

the 5 sounds aboriginal

4:49 pm

wounded ones

4:49 pm

apparently it's irish...not that it helps

wa5?

4:49 pm

found my last l...was related to two others

4:49 pm

wi

4:50 pm

1-3-1-1

lucky

4:50 pm

ah thanks mool

4:50 pm

likely

4:50 pm

was that last L of yours another vine one or something else

4:50 pm

yeah

4:51 pm

so then i am missing, again, something different than you were

yeah, the irish clue is not helping at all

4:51 pm

looks like it

4:51 pm

robin hood shot bows and _____. flip the singular of that and then replace the O to get wi5.

4:51 pm

yeah, it kind of is like "witchery" if you changed the consolnants

oh, found it. I would have thought scottish

thank goodness I didn't have to rely on those two hints 😜🤣

4:52 pm

:D

4:52 pm

well they are both celtic

4:52 pm

weird

4:52 pm

my hint was good!!

4:53 pm

I claim nothing about that hint, or any others...though some do amuse me more than others

4:53 pm

I'm down to 50% 5s

4:53 pm

3-2-4-5

1-7-8-6

4:54 pm

1-3-1-1

4:54 pm

we are really all over the place today

4:54 pm

yep

4:54 pm

wish i could get my last corner T, would have bottom 2 rows grey then

4:54 pm

looking for my 4

4:54 pm

probably t7

so, the vine ones I have li5/6 and another 5 that may or may not be related

I still need 2 bottom T's

4:55 pm

yes! i don't have a t7

4:55 pm

then not that

4:55 pm

t5?

4:56 pm

i would like to have a teastud

well, it's not teastud (hunk who serves tea) or tealine because I already tried both

4:56 pm

yeah, I'm okay

ha! great minds.

4:57 pm

all the corner T i currently have go with other words, hokie

testune is a demo song

4:57 pm

the 7 could be loosely translated as an exam that y'all take ;)

4:57 pm

no, what i mean is, they EITHER go with other words or are easy

hmm, moo using y'all is a subtle hint

4:58 pm

before atilla invaded he would send out a testhun

I assume all bottom T's are TE

4:58 pm

yah

5:00 pm

while rich people are sometimes referred to as the jetset, those who are prone to ply the waves in search of fish are colloquially termed the netset

5:00 pm

exam + martial art that starts with J, minus the J

still working on that t7 and an easy one

5:00 pm

the clue I gave did amuse me :)

ok, got that, thx

5:00 pm

i still have no idea what the clue you gave was about and i have the word now

I think he's doing text speak, you = u

5:01 pm

you might have to break it into exam, not me and then the ending :)

5:01 pm

and then say it out loud

5:01 pm

ohhhhhhhhhh

5:01 pm

yeah i don't do much text speak

I always try teste

still not a word

5:02 pm

it's okay, I remain amused

5:02 pm

bollocks

5:02 pm

are you addressed, or are you anude?

oh, didn't have an5

5:03 pm

are you positive?

yep

5:04 pm

:)

5:06 pm

why is the NYT bothering to discuss Kamala Harris' strengths and weaknesses as a candidate if Biden said it would take God Almighty himself telling him not to run to get him to drop out in someone else's favor

finally found that t - a past tense

really more of an adj I think

5:06 pm

seems like a waste of time

5:06 pm

maybe the flying spaghetti monster will intervene

we could only be so lucky

5:07 pm

all hail flying spaghetti monster

5:07 pm

well "god" could strike him down I guess, perhaps that's what he's expecting

5:07 pm

if God is going to strike one of the candidates down...

1-6-7-5

5:08 pm

then i would definitely vote for Trump

5:08 pm

still 1-3-1-1

wonder what this last 4 is and is it the same for all of us

5:09 pm

well i'm missing 3 fours so

5:09 pm

I'm watching Independence Day. we just met Brent Spiner's character. he looks so weird here.

5:10 pm

ok i was missing an al4/4 for one

5:10 pm

for some reason I initially read that as Brent Sphincter

5:10 pm

alack of a4

well, I'm missing words from all of moo's tiles so the 4 could be any of those

5:11 pm

AND an an4/4

5:12 pm

*groan* and a totally normal do6

5:12 pm

well we'll get to the bottom of this eventually

5:12 pm

it's a gift hursh

looks like my 4 is an4/4 too

5:13 pm

well we'll just leave that there

5:13 pm

no it was the one with the i that i was missing

5:13 pm

I was missing the plural

5:14 pm

5:14 pm

5:14 pm

[had to look up definition to be clear]

I am missing a di5 and a du5

I don't rem. her character name

5:15 pm

yeah there's one like a misspelt sleeper sofa

5:15 pm

if she married the jerk her first and last names were going to rhyme, remember?

I thought that was de5 and it was a phantom all day.

lol, no. I don't think I've seen that in many years.

5:16 pm

de5 also works

5:16 pm

just not in this grid

5:16 pm

well i haven't seen it in many years either!

5:17 pm

but it's memorable about the silly rhyming name!

I guess it didn't make that big of an impression

5:17 pm

ah, I was missing du5...tx

5:17 pm

ok it's also the name of the actress who played Elaine on Seinfeld

ah, thanks

5:18 pm

now, did you know that you can spell the thing around your neck that holds your ID badge without a Y?

5:18 pm

yes

5:18 pm

and you can also spell those big vine trees without the y

5:19 pm

and then there's those ones that are the opposite :)

oh, we've had that before

5:19 pm

like the church tax :)

5:19 pm

i'm so lost on whatever you are saying mool

lol, I thought it was just me

5:20 pm

5:20 pm

mk

5:21 pm
