sh7 (should have seen much sooner)
well, the ho8 still eludes me, and the gl8 is a weird one, but the la7 and the sl7 are ordinary enough
anyway - think I'll call it a night
morning babblers

thankyou gillie, Got the gl8. An ugly word!
ug 16 k's. I hate k's!!
Deeha, you and me both! Darn Ks!

phantom: analog

dingdingding! Luv receives a lovely bouquet of sunflowers.
Thank you, thank you! Sunflowers are one of my favorites :-)
They are at peak now in KS.
good morning all :)
Such a pretty site to see a field of sunflowers. They're not grown much around me but I remember fondly a huge field of them years ago.
hi nan
stats for the lone i left column pls?
wow - not sure I know 16 k words - just have 6 so far
is 6/21....hello all....
just know it is not isobar
right...same start...
thx pen!
got it - points helped
does that line mark where it is as hot as?
yes...joins two places with same amount of sun, i think....
you're kidding! applies here for sure
howdy folks, 299 left
carla!...
pen!
saw a pic of trump yesterday -- wondering if he really needs a gauze bandage that big and how does he keep it on?
it's a mystery to us all...
maybe it is to prevent infection from the bs coming out of his mouth...
lol
then we should all wear one....
i despise the man but let's refrain from the bashing here
ok - just couldn't resist that one
yeah, I've got a lot of words to find
although I do think shooting at the guy was a bit extreme
violence is not the answer
agreed, shirl
violence should not be the answer -- not that i have any answers
stuck at 85
264 left here :D
stuck at75...
well done pen
155 left here - did spend about 20 min. on it last night though
ty....just found a pair of words....so not completely stuck... ;o)
I'm just going for HOET. I have an appt later.
anyone have stats for the e in the 4th col.? Don't see any of the usual babblets
eo4
oh - nm - just spotted the eo 4
en7/8
no way - there should be a double consonant at the end of that!
somebody should check that entire dictionary for spelling errors
ty, Molly and nan....that was enough for me....
Brit spelling
I don't think so
nan does brit spelling
we used brit sp. in our schools and I've never seen it spelled that way
thx all for that nudge on the en
same people that do instal and enrol
Well then take it up with Google because that is what it says
but then you'd think the root word without the double consonant would be a word too! but nope
enrol I have seen - quite common - but not instal
the only place I've seen any of those 3 is here
well dictionary.com does accept it as an att spelling....
the double consonant changes the vowel sound to what it is -- otherwise it would be a short a
is the left i a normal word?
phantom ither
nm
I actually remembered it
that is the line on the weather map, carla
interesting
thanks nan
yay - found an et 7
I actually have no idea what the common British spelling is, as I rarely encounter that word outside of fantasy novels, which are more often in American English anyway
it's less common today than when I was reading it all the time in British novels.
phantom loanshark. which is 2 words, I know.
finally found that ho 8
is it a "real" word?....
yes!
and a cool one :)
ty...
not hoosegow

help with en7/8 please
I have no 8s and only one 7
rhymes with round bouncy toy
ty Shirl
wait I found an et7 not the en7
just found the ones you clued ty Shirl
can you clue the et7?
alcohol
cool, thx for the et7
:) ::clink::
first pass complete...
I like big grids but this is not going as fast as usual
does anyone know what G the gl8 comes from
should be exercising but I am babbling instead. well I am exercising my brain
On the left, Peri
ty looking
is that g8 a compound word?
ty Soodle and no Shirl. the most
ah, my eyes are so bad, i thought it was a gi not a gl
the ho8 ends the same way
don;t know what the stats are for the other 8s
I just found a gr8 with a French-looking ending.
tx, that was my last 8
I'm missing en8, which I think is a plural
found it
nice
Seain, clue the en please?
it's thrilling, if with one fewer letters at the end than I think it should have.
completely captivated by your clue seain
oh, I am wrong about how it it spelt.
en 8 is a 2nd person conjugation of the en 7 which should end in a double consonant but doesn't
to hold in a rapturous (is there such a word?) state
hi again everyone :)
welcome back, nan
BBL, short nap, coffee food time.
bye seain
not seeing a gl 8
it's the most bright
ty - must have missed a letter when I tried it the first time
yw
I really need to take this laptop somewhere to have it taken apart and cleaned -- keys are very sticky
mind you I think it is about 6 years old -- should probably get a new one, but don't like win 11
Thank you for the en! I went away to make lunch.

I just read a quote from Britney Spears Instagram. That poor woman. She is such a mess. And she uses a lot of !!!!
yeah it's awful what happens with such people. i saw someone on facebook telling someone their little girl was so talented and maybe could be a star, and i commented like, i don't think you should wish such a horrid fate upon the poor child!
hinall
run
hello saanish
saanich
ru saying from scotland
hi that is.
She was not educated if I recall.
hi ru
still in Inverness or on Islay?
she sure doesn't seem educated
inverness today
loch ness tomorrow
hi nan
oh -- thought saanich said you were going down to Islay from there
tomorrow loch ness. then to mull then to islay
resting to day
pretty sure Britney grew up in MS before moving to Orlando for the New Mickey Mouse Club, so even if she was educated then, isn't MS one of the worst in the country for education?
it is the best for meth
LOL, how do you know that?
hope you stop at glenfiinnan - famous viaduct and monument.
also the site of the Jacobite uprising
they are #1. last year it was Tennessee but like oprah said if you set a goal they are back to number one
Nan, ru is not online.
this is ru. on saanichs computer
oh i thought the chat said ru was saying hi from Saanich's laptop
ah...Sorry
we are all here together
I promise not to swear today. these ipads are really hard to type on
Well, give each other a big hug from me.
ok
saanich is brave for letting ru sully her good name
I'm off to fix a salad for dinner.
I gotta go too. Have a great time!
me too back to vacay. toodle pips
Really???? Toodle pips?????
heya folks
oh, sure, everybody leave just as I'm getting here
hi jes
how's it, nan?
Oh my, obviously Ru is sampling as much Scotch as he can
not as hot today -- 88, but still no rain in our future
He has not had one drop today......yet
He’s just naturally saucy
it's 88 here now, at 11am. supposed to hit 99. and smokey. I'm spending as much time as possible in the basement!
It's like that old line, I haven't had a drop. A pint maybe but not a drop.
sure would be nice if we could magically divert some of the excess rain from flood areas
Mother Nature has not been good at sharing this summer.
yes -- just dump it all in the BC mountains
a year without forest fires would be lovely
oh, right, you're in BC - it's YOUR smoke I'm breathing :P
So the Scooby Gang is in Scotland, my sister is in Ireland, anyone going to Wales or England?
I think what fires we have right now are a lot further north than where I am
well, while i'd like them to go out immediately, in the meantime i hope they stay further north than both of us :)
agreed
not getting any smoke here at any rate -- are you in Montana?
eastern washington
some fires in the cariboo area
makes sense that you are getting some smoke then -- I am in the okanagan
any luck in your hunt for a cat?
(that was you, right?)
yes - I found one in April. 9 yr old female tabby.
yay! how's she working out?
she thinks she owns both me and the house now
as it should be :)
she has a room with a window perch that is where she stays at night or when I'm out -- the rest of the time she spends with me in the family room where she has a window bench to stretch out on
a fine life for a venerable lady :)
i just saw the gerund <insert eye roll and face palm>
se 6 please? monkeys are stumped
nm - found it
thanks, shirlock, I hadn't noticed it!
it didn't give me that many words but it's more than i had before
a hint for the te 6/21 please?
maybe the one about chompers in your mouth?
heh. i keep trying to use the n twice
oh -- duh
ty that was my last word
any clues wanted before I leave?
yay nan!
I'm still working on hitting half way, seems too early to seek clues
hagd then :)
skritches to the kitty for me :)
half way :)

Ugh

3 and 3 here...
and i was so proud for remembering ge6/24
is that the one that looks like a plural without a singular
no, not at all
you have another one?
hmmm.....
aha thanks i found yours
mine ends with a double vowel
oh
two different vowels or same vowel twice?
ty, hursh...
double means same twice in my book
geotee - a shirt you wear while looking for things in the woods
there is also a gr 6/24....
oh i need that then
and a gr 8/50....guessed on both.... ;o)
i have gr6/30 and 6/27 (which is a plural)
yeah I don't have gr6 or hurshy's ge6
or those 2 gr6
think I need to finish my other task and then come back here. BBS
the gr 6 is a weasel like animal...the gr 8 is a french word...
and i haven't got gr8
just work your way to the french ending...
ok i got a gr6/24, does this weasel-like animal look like it could rhyme with a buffalo-like animal?
yes..
ok then that is the same one and i got the 8 now thanks, down to 2 + 2!
i keep trying "grisha" from shadow & bone...
stick with the first four...
for what? didn't i already get the ones you mentioned?

oh i haven't gotten to F yet
missing five F words...i think i am listing now...
any guesses on a missing bottom N word?
i have a missing N word...
oh...forgot a pl.....
you might need fl5/20
there is an NA 5 that looks like a pl....
that's not the bottom tho
no...my last from the bottom was a pl that i have never seen used as a pl....
oh you are right, i forgot a plural also. but i mean how often does one pluralize 12PM
exactly....my thought, too...
can you clue your fl7
oh i bet you missed that weird set of 4 fo words 5-6-4-5
what letters?

the FL 7 is an alt spelling...usually has a Z near the end....
hahaha i wasn't saying what i have left i was saying the lengths of that set of four fo words that i bet you missed
just figured out why you said "what letters" lol
now i only need one more F word!
