Clues are up
thanks, lickety
Clues are up
and thanks again! :-)
ahahah
Double Clues today
ha
I expect to finish faster than ever thanks to the double clues, so it's appreciated. And appreciated.
half way - thanks for all the clues. Good night :)
what are double clues???
Night nan
And Jeanne - I think Lickety just posted that the clues were up twice is all. Nothing actually special. Just silliness with a silly double post
Thank you, justafreep! I've been on this game since '07, but who knows what might have gone past me! I should have guessed the humor with the wits who abound here!
I would go with 'goofiness' even more than humor this time. But also... yeah, I also figure one day I'll learn something new that everyone else has known for years
All the fun stuff counts as good humor in my book. I like your humility...it always pays to keep an open mind! I thought that "double clue" was something new that everyone else has known for years, lol!
Let's make it up right now and see if we can convince people of it another night. Then you and I can just start calling it a "DC" like we are that familiar with it...
Oho! I like that idea! Hmmmm. At least I can keep a poker face behind the screen!
Oh, yes...I saw the hidden clue about the DC, Freep! Let's race to the finish!
You're on!
There ought to be a prize involved...if it gets to that point. Winner gets to interview Lickety!
Fair
Deal. Good luck with the rest of tonight's double clues, ROFLMAO! (I think this is pretty outdated by this point, but I still like it.)
I am actually trying to imagine what a double clue would be now. Like... it's just two clues? Seems too easy. Maybe it's that there's extra information if you know how to read it right.
And good luck to you, too. Maybe we won't even need any clues! (A guy can dream....)
Much to know. You go to the top of the leader board if you finish the game. But you have to do something (what???) to invoke the DC for the win. ... hmmm. getting complicated.
A gal can dream too!
I think we've done enough. We'll leave it to the next crew that comes in to read our thoughts and finish this off
I'm just happy for every regular clue folks post here. I no longer have the ability to print out the clue sheet, and I can't operate two screens well enough. So those call-outs are soooo welcome! Yes, let others puzzle it out!
morning babblers
g'mornin sprite!
hiya jeanne!
hey, sprite
hiya freep!
How's my tomorrow looking over there?
looks pretty good so far, no rain and good coffee
Oooh. That is great. Thanks.
cooee and g'day from still positive me. contactless * hugs * sprite
*hugs rose* You are always positive, lol
giggling. thanks my darling. still no sense of smell so everything tastes the same. ugh!
I know! Very boring. Glad to read that Don is doing a little bit more
you know you are a nerd when teraohm is a phantom
i think he worked it out for himself sprite. he took notice of how hard it was for me to breath even af5 doing the smallest of things..
till the next time...
shhhhhhhh.....there will be no next time
owwwwwkay! :D
did you have another good night, honey?
yeah I did. Bit under the weather though this morning, so going slow
good for you having another good night. baaaad you are under the weather. usual stuff? or is the weather about to change?
belly aches. Not sure.
oh dear. * gently rubs sprite's belly * heat pack do you think?
brb. looking for food i can taste.
might come to that. A makeshift one, lol, no idea where ours is. Probably still in a box. But a bottle with hot water works too.
*hands rose a hand of chilis*
pffffttttt. ewwww
*grins* Okay, no chilis. What did you get?
back with hard boiled egg, salt, liverwurst, and crackers.
you go, girl.
now putting liverwurst on the egg, and salt on the crackers....
nope, doesn't taste quite right
almost, sweetie, almost. You can do it.
gp suggested the hard boiled eggs as a snack to help with my iron levels.
not too much salt though!
btw ? you know how iron tablets are supposed to cause constipation?
yep
apparently when you have FM they don't.
nope. Same here.
our crazy bodies huh?
ikr? I used to be on pretty high doses of oxycontin. Same story. My gp wanted to prescribe me some pretty nasty fiber solution sachets. Told her I was sitting on the loo too long and often as it was, grin.
* laughing *
I try and do my very best to keep my iron up though. I have been on iron tablets a few times and it drives me bananas. Cannot figure out a schedule for all the meals and meds then. Not to take within half an hour before and an hour after meals. Not to combine with other meds. Craziness.
right. just put the liverwurst back in the fridge. can't taste it, and i'm not wasting it when i can't enjoy it.
i hear you sprite. i mean, balancing our meds, meals, etc is hard enough already.
sure is. If you have trouble eating enough with the lack of taste, you might wanna try liquid meals (not sure of the word in english, you know, the protein shake kind of things)
oh darn, I have to get ready for work. Doing a shift on the sos help line. *hugs* my darling, take good care of yourself. Bye, jeanne and freep!
well i won't be able to taste their yucky flavour at least... lol
back later! *poof for now*
okay
back. Very interesting shift.
fireflies and poofing
oh happy day!
*Spots a woman happy to see a big one
I'm just gonna let that one go...... ;)
Wow...I've just been plugging away and didn't even look at the stats. Probably passed up the 9/10 somewhere earlier.
They were calling them at the flip like the blurt starved
I don't usually check the flip till after I've done my first pass. Almost there tho
I don't either. I like to find words on my own.
Really want refart to be a word...
me too :)
Well I was wrong! The 10 came towards the end of my first pass.
found 2 8s on my own so far
Me too. I don't want to be too optimistic, but so far this isn't so bad. Sprite finishing so late worried me.
gmorning
morning!
do we know if there are any SW? it seems unlikely but...
hello all
hi lindy
I still have 4 s's left but no sw
oh i just need 2
so far i have sc x 2, se x 6, su x 8
Thx.
Got another 8 from there...
another??
I have 3 total. Also, su x 9
Down to 2 left on the s
that's impossible, i have only 1 8 and need 2 words, can only be 2 8s and a 9
so is one of the 8s su, going with the 9?
I'm sorry...I have 3 - 8's. One of them is an 8.
One of the S's is an 8. Sorry to be unclear
no i see you meant there are 9 su words
it's ok these things happen and part of it was me being thick
but i did get another su so thanks :D
Cross eyed from the grid. Down to 34.
The 9 is not su
Stats please!
re9/60
Ds Demolished!
i got it.. thanks molly
found the re10 but not the re9
I thought the 9 was easier to see than the 10
oh.. i got the 8 and the 10.. thanks peri
I heard from my sister in northern North Carolina briefly. She said it's pretty bad there.
Looks like a lot of flooding and closed roads from what news I can find.
are they all connected ru?
Sorry, she is in western North Carolina.
Yes, a friend of mine has a daughter there too. She said the same. No water, electricity, etc.
Thank goodness it's not the heat of the summer. That's a small blessing.
No Peri they are not connected
my mother in law is in NC. we haven't heard from her yet, unless she contacted my husband after I was asleep last night
ok molly
I agree Champ. No AC in the heat of the summer sucks
it just magnifies the misery.
we have friends on a small island west of Florida, they lost everything in their house, and their 2 vehicles. but they and the dogs are safe.
tu 4/6?
I can get under blankets and deal with no heat, but no AC when it's hot is miserable
That's awful! I'm so sorry to hear it.
Poop maccafixx
Thanks. errr
that's a crappy clue
The gassy one is right there too.
I would be terrified to live on a small island west of Florida given that we deal with hurricane season every year.
I just talked to my niece. She said it's really bad where my nephew and my sister are and they aren't supposed to get power or water back for weeks.
they are at least close enough there is a bridge to the mainland.
I'd be terrified to live in Florida as a young woman that's for sure
i'd be terrified to live in florida as anybody! too many reptiles
way too hot for me
that too
think of all the books they wouldn't let you read there hurshy
haha i think book bans only apply to what teachers are allowed to assign in school
My parents bought a condo in south Florida. They liked the weather, but not the doctors
they have bad doctors in florida?
oh are we talking about florida because of like re6 and 7
As per my parents. After my father died, Mom moved back here for better doctors
got the 9!
You'd think there would be good doctors. Their demographic needs them!
is there a clue for the re9?
to back up in war
the russian army re9 a lot
thanks ru and hurshy
between napoleon and the kaiser and hitler...
Good doctors set up shop where the money is. That is why there are so many good doctors in the DC area
not seeing the 10, but I'm not back to my best yet
and, at Yale New Haven
Sent something through a fine sieve again
is the 10 also an re?
thank you matty
oh thanks matty
Tes
stupid brain fog
Yes, see Matty's clue
You're welcome!
the h's are easy
Rs Ransacked!
🤣🤣From my nephew just now...this town is f*cked...send booze
ru, I'm staring at it now looking for the 8
Molly, tell your nephew you're disappointed that he didn't have proper hurricane back up booze!
If I know him, he did. He's just worried about running out.
:)
Apparently, The National Guard is having trouble getting into that area
wow
The whole historic section of Asheville where The Biltmore is is under water. A dam burst and wiped out a nearby town. It's bad.
is that florida still? do they have an Asheville?
No, NC.
ok, that Asheville
hmm, i don't know about this Hs being easy thing. i mean they did flow along nicely but now i'm stuck with 3 to go
2 now :D
Me too. One's an 8
hmmmm
which dam burst, molly?
Ts Toppled!
Lake Lure Dam
I don't see that it burst, but only that water was overtopping it. still searching
8 left! one of them being that H8
so annoying
te
Sorry bad information. The Broad River overflowed and wiped out the town of Chimney Rock. Lake Lure dam is still iffy and surrounding areas are being evacuated.
ok thanks for clarifying
Part of interstate 40 collapsed.
nice grid today
my hike is off this morning as my buddy is hung over
FW!
what's the second letter of the H8?
ha
Someone had a fun Saturday night
It's funky. I used morewords. Wouldn't have gotten it otherwise.
ha8 it is a hideous word
oh ok
thanks
Yep! good luck all!
clue for te6,18 please?
it's a babblet we have a lot
unless you mean te6-totter
no, have that one
well it must have been a lot Molly, this guy can drink anyone under the table.. he's unbelievable.
Oh, is that the one you said could drink Marian Ravenwood under the table?
(not to upset soodle but he's irish) he can just handle unreal amounts of alcohol without being slightly tipsy
My kind of guy
he must process it differently than most people
yeah maybe some genetic quirk
I think so hursh
like the people who aren't allergic to mosquito bites, they don't itch at all *so jealous*
he's really professional and polite and never gets out of hand
He should mention that if he ever needs to have surgery. Those people usually need more anesthesia than usual.
I don't get bitten by mosquitoes ... they don't like my blood I guess
It's not your blood, it's your skin
well then i'm jealous of you too
oh
really?
bug bites are the main reason i don't spend much time outside
what is it about the skin molly?
put witch hazel on bug bites
People with less bacteria on their skin get fewer to no mosquito bites
is there a way to reduce how much bacteria you have on your skin?
Shower constantly.
oh so that's NOT genetic
oh.. that's interesting
How does one collect bacteria on their skin
All kinds of things affect skin bacteria. How much water you drink, your diet, the fabrics you wear, how often you rotate your linens and towels, etc.
Also, fair skinned people tend to get more mosquito bites than darker skinned people.
aslindy, is you te6 the one that sounds like the syndrome
well I must be doing something right then :D
<--uses towels only once before washing
As a public service announcement kind of thing, you can help people affected by Hurricane Helene by donating to The Red Cross
It is horrible in NC.
how about in your area bea
We just had some rain and winds as we were on the outer band.
The people in the mountains...entire towns are underwater.
in the mountains isn't that unusual for it to flood there?
Nope. Lots of lakes and rivers.
oh.. ok.. that makes sense
I'd worry about mold after flooding
It is a big problem
Especially in older houses
And a lot of people live in the valleys of the mountains which is why they are underwater.
It is a rural area with a lot of poor people.
One thing to remember if you ever have to stock up for a storm is to have cash. So many people don't carry cash anymore and stores can't take credit when the power is out
One thing to remember if you ever have to stock up for a storm is to have cash. So many people don't carry cash anymore and stores can't take credit when the power is out
good advice.. that bears repeating
I'm about the last person in California to use cash all the time.. I get the funniest looks
Molly, have you heard from your sister?
The only thing I ever get cash for is lottery tickets. And you can even use plastic in those machines now.
I do keep an emergency cash fund but it’s mostly 100s and 50s now so may be hard to spend
Carla, it's bad where she is. No power or water and the power could be out for weeks. She is going to my niece's in Atlanta as soon as my niece and her husband can get into North Carolina to fetch her.
My nephew is stuck because he lives on 8 acres and has animals to be concerned with.
Rode our bikes around yesterday. So many downed power lines and trees fallen on lines. We have a small power company so I think it’s going to take a long time. I am very thankful we still have water.
Hope she gets out soon
Our power co is just saying multiple days
I can't imagine days without water. I can deal with sponge bathing but not being able to flush the toilet? No thanks.
Yeah, I filled the tub up the other day in case of emergency flushing
Have lived through a long power and water outage before at VT
Are there place you can go to charge things, Carla?
Yeah, have been going to a neighbor’s who has a generator. Our friend that lives in town has Duke and it is back on so we’re going to charge things there later today
Maybe he has internet and I can download some movies onto my laptop
Makes you want to get a generator.
We have a camping trip planned for later this week at Jordan Lake to have a weekend with the youngest. I assume everything is okay out there, bea? Hope we can get gas on the way.
Yes. Things are fine in the Triangle.
Can still hear our out of town neighbor’s running
Good, thanks
I guess it’s hooked to their propane and will quit eventually
Have you lost much food?
I have a generator now that Iost everything in teh 2017 fires.. it's a godsend
We have lots of power outages here in Napa... so it's nice to not bake when the power goes off
sorry you're out of power hokie and water. what a drag
We cleaned out the fridge yesterday and moved stuff to coolers. Had to eat the ice cream last night.
Luckily it hasn’t gotten too hot yet. Only 68F out right now.
I still have water, but thanks!
What a drag, hokie. I hope you get power and water back soon.
How much rain did you get?
We have a propane camping stove and griddle so have been cooking on that
Oh, that
Oh, that's good. Being without water is a real pain.
I’m not sure total as my gauge only goes to 5â€. I emptied it on Tues (Wed?) night and know we got 8’ that day and then it filled up again before and then during the storm.
I still don’t know if we got hit by TS or hurricane? Anyone know?
It was a TS when it went into GA.
what's a TS?
tropical storm?
tropical storm
for a minute I thought it was transvestite
(imagines Hokie giving up some high heels for charity)
Never seen that abbreviation before
I saw a funny story...A couple was going to get married on the beach in gulf coast Florida. They canceled the wedding because of the hurricane. It just so happens that this man's previous wife was Helene.
Karma
Oh wow
oh man.. that's funny
Think I will go start a puzzle. Peace out ✌ï¸
I'm going to tinker in the garage. Found some cool things to repurpose.

Aw lads. Just heard we have lost Kris Kristofferson. 17 year Soodle fell truly madly deeply in love with him after watching A Star Is Born. I went to the cinema umpteen times to watch it. Each time, I prayed he wouldn’t die. He always died. 😔. RIP Kris. Thank you for your music
