Found the extra work

word

12:46 am

Thanks, Lickety

I'm really happy with the new hosting provider - it seems to refresh much better and love that it's free too

12:50 am

I'm glad you're happy with it. And freeeee is excellent

1:02 am

morning babblers

1:37 am

morning, sprite!

1:37 am

hiya rebel!

1:38 am

hey ya beautiful people. * hugs * spritey, * hugs * rebel

1:38 am

*hugs rose* Hello darling

1:38 am

*hugs* grannyrose hello!

1:39 am

how are you two doing? behaving?? lol

1:39 am

Oh yeah, behaving is my middle name! *eyeroll*

1:39 am

*giggles*

1:40 am

* giggle *

1:40 am

last man standing here. Or woman, rather. Caya is down with a stomach bug. Rob with a gout attack. I am pretending to be well enough to manage it all.

1:40 am

we know, rebel. It is Miss Behaving Badly, iirc?

1:41 am

oh gee whiz sprite! the Big Guy needs me to give Him a good talking to.

1:42 am

exactly, sprite!

1:42 am

miss behaving badly!

1:42 am

it is madness. It is freezing and snowing, roads are slippery, and off I went yesterday morning to pick up Lewi. Because Juno cannot manage 3 - 4 walks a day yet.

1:42 am

only way to go, rebel ;)

1:44 am

already walked the dogs this morning, now gathering my courage to go get the groceries. But first... babble with my bestie :D

1:44 am

i am such a terrible person, peeps. Don continues to cough...LOUDLY AND LONG. i just feel like it is so dramatic. trying so hard to be understanding, but pleeeeese.... i don't think he has EVER been taught how to be moderate at all. it's like : i can cough louder and longer than you can, therefore i am sicker than you" i feel so terrible that i am so intolerant.

1:45 am

little steps darling girl. take the meds first, let them kick in, and then slowly, slowly while you are out.

1:46 am

well that is exactly what he is doing and it is childish, so I do not think you are intolerant. He usually ignores your wheezing etc and expects lots of attention for his coughing. I would ignore it, honey.

1:46 am

nah. just a bit fed up. I understand. you've been sick for a while too. he feels somewhat neglected, an dis trying to "one up" ya.

1:46 am

ignore it.

1:46 am

what she says

1:47 am

* sickly grin * i just feel like whopping him one, you know?

1:47 am

wellllll that would be taking it one step too far LOL

1:47 am

so whop him one. be done with it. just give him one upside the head. or better yet give him a noogie. and tell him to man up and be done with it.

1:49 am

or if you really want to go overboard, tell him: "So wonderful to hear your cough is improving, darling."

1:49 am

that's a good one, sprite!

1:50 am

roflol.. rebel.... please don't dare me... now he says that the oral antibiotics have given him the trots, so every visit to the loo is followed by all sorts of mutterings and noise. i'm thinking for heavens sake. it's the squitters, not life threatening, and if it's so bad, why didn't you ask me what to do about it...

1:51 am

;) I have met Don IRL, so I know a little bit how he is. Very loving person, but a big child in many ways.

1:51 am

yeah, sprite. i am trying to put a positive slant when people call, and ask after his health.

1:51 am

oh boy so a noogie would be out of the question then. dang it.

1:52 am

within his hearing of course.

1:52 am

honey, ignore it, it is the best you can do. We have all been there. Very unpleasant, and yeah you come from the loo with white lips and the shivers. So what. It passes, and quickly, once you are empty. Definitely not life-threathening and not at all a reason for lots of attention.

1:52 am

what she said

1:55 am

like i said... LOUD AND LONG. i'm talking can't hear the telly which is turned up as his hearing is so poor, and he won't wear his hearing aides. and long, i'm talking about at least 3 minutes of gurgly, bubbly coughing.

1:56 am

rose, my darling, order a pair of headphones with noise cancelling. I will send you audiobooks. So lovely, you can listen to a good story and you can totally ignore the drama.

1:56 am

this sort of cough back in my training days would have me dry retching, with possible follow through.

1:59 am

okay, rant over. i promise. thanks for letting me vent. and i have detracted from poor sprite and the fix she's in. apologies darling. what you are going through would try the patience of a saint.

2:00 am

and rebel, what news on your new courses?

2:01 am

no biggie, it is just a bit much. This too shall pass! And when it does, I will be the one demanding being waited on hand and foot ;)

2:01 am

term hasn't started yet. but my daughter is still in the fire warning stage in CA. so it's a wait & see mode here.

2:02 am

rather scary

2:03 am

rebel has she started to collect together what she deems she must save? i can't comprehend what is happening in Las Angeles. over here it has been small rural communities which can be effected by bush fires. not such a large city/town like LA.

2:04 am

on the news now, apparently looting taking place. that is so inhuman.

2:05 am

she's got everything ready to go if they have to leave, and she's videoed all of the things they can't take, she work at a starbucks and they're already getting in people looking for respite.

2:05 am

*works

2:06 am

looters to be shot, in such circumstances

2:07 am

oh that's good news rebel. i was so worried. the younger generation seem to think they are immortal.

2:07 am

she's not acting nervous yet, but then again, she tends to let things affect her after they happen, not during.

2:08 am

that's good in a way. cool head when she needs to act fast.

2:08 am

oh I am like that too. A rock while crises are happening. A shaking puddle of nothing once everything has calmed down and everybody is over it.

2:09 am

adrenaline has a lot to answer for.

2:09 am

Rob is much more panicky while things are happening, and much more steady afterwards. So we are a good team, lol. He always says: Cass solves the problems, I catch Cass afterwards

2:09 am

exactly. I'm the one losing sleep, and she's like, "it's gonna b ok, mom, just relax, if it happens, it happens."

2:09 am

love Rob's work... lol

2:10 am

lol

2:11 am

well rebel, we mothers worry. It is part of our job description.

2:11 am

That's what I keep telling my daughter!

2:12 am

*grins* When my kids complain about my worrying, I always tell them: A. it is my job and B. imagine how it would be if I didn't care. THey always laugh and tell me to just keep on worrying then.

2:13 am

Mine tells me that worrying is bad for my mental health, so I should go journal or something to get out all the worry and relax some.

2:14 am

just tell her you will keep a journal ready for her once she has kids of the worrisome ages

2:15 am

you haven't got time to keep a journal.. to busy worrying...

2:15 am

silly kids. We mothers can worry while journaling. Or while performing rocket science. Or anything.

2:15 am

Oh that's a ton of journals! *Giggles at grannyrose*

2:16 am

it's weird right? we well know worrying won't change anything but we still do it.

2:17 am

bbs, nature calls

2:17 am

nps sprite.

2:18 am

exactly, grannyrose.

2:28 am

Rebel, sorry your daughter is literally in the line of fire. LA is a disaster. So many things went wrong with the water supply during one of the worst wind events in history. I lived down there for over 45 years and my daughter and her family are in the Inland Empire - east of all of the destruction. I hope the next round of winds ease quickly and no new fires are started.

2:29 am

thank you, kamanjah. so nice of you!

2:30 am

my parents left san diego county in 2018 due to the fire dangers every year. and now I just wish my daughter and her fianceé would do the same.

2:30 am

My step-grandson called me last night to make sure my daughter was ok.

2:31 am

* hugs * darling Kam. lovely to see you honey.

2:31 am

I'm still in a high fire area, but out of the traffic congestion of LA and Orange County.

2:31 am

Hi Rose *hugs*

2:32 am

back. White lips, shaky... give me LOTS of ATTENTION!

2:32 am

hiya Kam *hugs*

2:32 am

aw sprite!

2:33 am

Hiya Sprite!

2:33 am

*grins* I thought I'd give it a try. Seems to work for Don.

2:34 am

sprite, now is the time to get the loperamide out honey. just while you are having to carry the extra load.

2:34 am

oh dear! did i miss a cue?

2:34 am

very much so, lolol

2:34 am

Are you ok? I only read the chat that was on my screen.

2:34 am

sorreeeee.

2:35 am

oh Kam, yes, I am okay. We were talking about Don doing the drama thing for minor stuff like the trots. I thought I'd see if it would work for me too.

2:36 am

and all she got from me was advice on what to take.. lol.. no tea and sympathy.

2:38 am

oh, that gives me inspiration for Don. Next time, tell him it is white rice and crackers for him for the next three days.

2:38 am

repenting rapidly... offers sprite a shoulder to lean on...

2:38 am

he he he he he!

2:38 am

lol. And such a lovely shoulder it is!

2:38 am

oh goodness... i will take pics when i say that.

2:39 am

:D

2:39 am

how are you doing, Kam?

2:40 am

I'm to the point where I don't always pick up on "couple things." I've been by myself for too long. I miss the banter and all the other stuff that goes with having my other half here.

2:41 am

*hugs Kam* Yeah, that is tough. At least you can banter with us for a bit.

2:41 am

I'm ok. I really miss my dog. At my age, I don't know if I should get another one or not. I still have Michael's cat, and he seems so happy to be the only critter around.

2:41 am

* out of the blue * how's the clock going Kam? does it still bring you some comfort?

2:41 am

It doesn't tick

2:41 am

tock

2:42 am

???? that's not good.... grrrr

2:42 am

But it looks great, and gains a few minutes between time changes, so it keeps me on time instead of my usual running a tad late.

2:42 am

I love it because you gave it to me.

2:43 am

* wonders if one can download a recording of a loud clock tick-tocking *

2:43 am

awww bless you sweet Kam.

2:44 am

of course one can. Probably even a Youtube vid of a clock ticktocking.

2:44 am

It has been so long since I broke the tick-tock clock that I don't miss the tick-tock now.

2:45 am

it's just the sound which brings Kam the most comfort Sprite. but she is so sweet about the clock i sent her.

2:45 am

you are such a sweetheart, rose

2:45 am

I don't know how Don heard it tick-tock! But, my hearing is going more than a little bit.

2:45 am

awww shucks

2:47 am

I'm getting a lot of inherited stuff as I get older. The worst thing is hair loss. I'm ready to try topical minoxidil, but I don't know if it will help.

2:48 am

usually a hormonal thing Kam. Can effect us at any age.

2:48 am

They say it can cause more facial hair. I would rather be bald than have a beard, lol!

2:49 am

amen to that!

2:49 am

application of tweezers has almost become a daily task here. Don't understand how they grow so fast.

2:50 am

if I ever start going bald, I will shave my head and go full skinhead. No bald patches for me.

2:50 am

so true, rose. Same here.

2:50 am

now there's a thought Kam. i reckon you would be the one to carry that off with style..

2:51 am

Please, may I have a clue? My last word is an S8. I have no idea, and my monkeys are on strike.

2:51 am

My mom and aunt both had noticeable hair loss. My aunt wore a wig for years. My mom just bleached her hair light blond to match her scalp and used a lot of hairspray to try to cover the bald spots with what hair she had left.

2:52 am

my mom's starting to lose her hair. it's starting to freak her out, and she gets her hair done every six weeks on the dot.

2:53 am

I have thought about shaving it all off, but my head is not perfectly shaped. I stick the hair I have left in a bun, use a pick to spread it around and then use hairspray.

2:53 am

i have such a thick thatch on top. the despair of my hairdresser. she has resorted to using clippers at the back. and she does thin it out a lot for me.

2:54 am

no need for a perfectly shaped head to go bald, honey. Every scalp is interesting when bald.

2:54 am

always at least half a small dog on the floor after she has finished. and my nails are so strong my manicurist almost has to use a grinding wheel to cut them. loll

2:55 am

so... please....? One little clue for little old me?

2:55 am

What kind of hairdo does an old hippie try? My hair is curly/frizzy, so I can't go short without constant maintenance, which isn't going to happen, lol!

2:55 am

which one sprite?

2:55 am

I would definitely go skinhead. But that is me.

2:55 am

you guys totally missed my post for the clue, lol. My last word. S8.

2:57 am

oh that's a doozy. st 8/50. just but an abbreviated newspaper chief in the middle of the ear bones

2:57 am

Sorry, I just got here a few minutes ago. I haven't really dug into the grid yet.

2:57 am

lickety's list says it is a ST8/50

2:57 am

* put * not but

2:58 am

or take the m out of the cattle running

2:58 am

that did it. Weird one. THanks rose. Fireflies.

2:58 am

WTG SPRITE !!

2:59 am

apparently it is the strange plural of the earbones.

3:00 am

Good hint, Rose.

3:00 am

might give you another option for Don, rose. You can tell him: Sorry didn't hear you, my ST8 are on strike

3:00 am

roflol... yup....

3:01 am

lolol!

3:01 am

*hugs* my darlings. Sleep well, have a blessed day and a peaceful night in any order you like.

3:01 am

night, sprite

3:01 am

Have a great day, Sprite!

3:01 am

* hugs * darling. remember small and slow steps at this time. no rushing you hear?

3:02 am

I am off to get the groceries, I guess. I will not rush. I promise, dear friend.

3:03 am

love you honey.

3:05 am

dinner here my friends. have fun with the grid.

3:07 am

Take care, Rose. Have the bushfires there calmed down? I thought of you when LA basically blew up. I feel so badly for the people there who lost everything.

3:10 am

take care, rose! I've hit a brick wall with the grid. I'm gonna go grab a 3AM snack and then come back later on in the morning! Take care, all! thank you, Kamanjah for your well wishes!

3:10 am

*poof*

5:44 am

There is nothing so frustrating as when you know there IS a word and it isnt accepted!!

8:09 am

for example, assload as a unit of measure

8:13 am

Hahahaha. Thanks, Dan, I needed a good laugh.

8:14 am

yw

well the i is not isotope

but I assume it's something that starts the same?

8:30 am

I have no idea what the dang thing is!

first two tiles are already too hard

hmm, hey champ

8:31 am

Hate when the first tile messes with me!

also not isopod

me too!

also not isolate. glad I could help.

8:34 am

It's a phantom

found an 8!

8:39 am

First pass done. Still need the dang i and the 10.

just had to take winston out. 217 left here.

3rd tile giving me troubles too. thinking I will do a first pass and then maybe play tonight.

8:48 am

I get it. Sometimes it's just a rough start.

now I'm just jumping around all over. ri6 has been very common lately

8:50 am

Agree. Thought the the same thing earlier.

just realized there are too many duplicates. historically I struggle with these kinds of grids.

8:54 am

Same. Too many options.

2nd and 3rd row are almost identical

where's ruru to tell me it's easy?

8:56 am

Snoozing?

maybe hiking. he never sleeps this late.

9:01 am

I'm not seeing anymore words. Back later...good luck! Find the i for me!

bye, I'm sure I won't.

phantom bristle

found another 8

darn, was so close to graying the L on first look.

nm, there it is!

9:09 am

almost anything is po 8/55 if you try hard enough

thanks, found another 8! :D

surprised you can't pluralize that

9:10 am

?) i tried

9:11 am

:) sorry

9:11 am

my fingers are cold, just came in from dog walking ... takes too long to thaw them, we got snow and it's in the 20s here

yeah, I think it's low 30's here. just took mine around the house but we may go out in a bit to hike up to a waterfall in our neighborhood. we got about 2" of snow followed by hours of steady sleet, so it is crunchy out there.

sun is out, so feels a little warmer

9:14 am

we got sun, enough to melt the dusting we got, but, cloudy and windless thankfully .. my son has karate today ... he'll miss playing outside

my husband & I went out last night and found some hills. :D

9:15 am

there's not enough to sled ... was only arnd christmas time ... i know DC got abt a foot ... that's skiing weather

9:16 am

st8 was my last - thanks lickety and all cluers

well done, dan

9:16 am

s + to 4/4 ... new word to me

9:16 am

can anyone provide a hint for the 10 ?

9:17 am

wonder

9:17 am

wonder if the po10 builds off the po8

9:17 am

po10 - most feasible

lol, I missed the request and wondered what phae was randomly saying

well that's dumb. since when is that not a "most *" superlative?

9:18 am

ty dan

9:20 am

the pa8 is like the po8

9:23 am

pa 8/55?

9:26 am

Hello, friends.

10:02 am

FW

10:02 am

Any clues wanted?

10:02 am

good for you phae

10:03 am

Congrats, phae. Just starting, but thanks.

10:03 am

if there is anything particularly weird or hard to find you could clue that

10:03 am

like that utterly whacko one we had yesterday

10:05 am

the only weird one as po10, but even that one was po8

10:05 am

thanks

10:06 am

the bi's were not anything I have heard recently

10:08 am

is that a subtle clue or just a statement

10:08 am

i'm missing one b

10:09 am

whoa there's a pa8 like the po8 even tho that isn't how pa8 is normally spelled

10:10 am

found the last 8

10:11 am

what's the bi/bL breakdown

10:14 am

phantom: bristle

10:16 am

and i'm pretty sure pootle is a word

10:17 am

it didn't red underline it when i just typed it there for chat

10:17 am

oo that helped me finish my top As

10:18 am

Thanks for the nudge, hurshy.

10:19 am

there's coffee da4s and dinner da4s and i think the world would be better if there were more pie da4s

10:20 am

Larry and I have day da5.

10:20 am

and wouldn't they be better with pie?

10:21 am

No, pie and beer don't go together.

10:21 am

i wouldn't know

10:21 am

but i can't see why anyone would choose beer over pie

10:22 am

Take my word.

10:24 am

rats, only one T, can't make teapot

10:26 am

rehi - back from our hike

10:26 am

greetings hokie

10:26 am

Did you make snow angels?

10:27 am

too crunchy today

10:27 am

we did do a little sledding last night but no snow angels

10:28 am

winston did a lot of rolling around today on the hike but I doubt any of them looked like an angel

10:28 am

HOw much snow did you get?

10:28 am

We had about two inches late last night.

10:29 am

we got about 2" before it turned to sleet. when we were out sledding it was snow and sleet mixed. could see the snow in our light on the walk home.

10:30 am

i have gently falling flakes as we type

10:30 am

bea, did I tell you I got a little learn to crochet kit for a yeti?

10:30 am

do yetis want to learn crochet?

10:30 am

of course

10:31 am

I guess that is a bit of a misplaced modifier

10:31 am

but it's funny

10:31 am

well there's my new fact of the day

10:31 am

No. I've been thinking about getting out my hooks and some thread.

10:33 am

2-3-12-4-2 *groan* this is the third day in a row with massive volume of 6s

10:33 am

I found these woobles kits at xmas time. there are step by step videos. my neighborhood has a stitchers clubs but I can't really take any of my projects since I use machines for everything, so I thought I'd take this, but then when I looked at the tutorials I realized I'll have to watch those while being social.

10:34 am

hurshy, I didn't even bother getting past 43 left yesterday and hate today's already, so that must be why. 6's not my strong suit.

10:34 am

well i'm down to 22

10:34 am

but i do wish phae had mentioned the bi/bL breakdown

10:34 am

64 left here.

10:35 am

what do you need in the bi/bl?

10:35 am

I still need 9 b's so no help

10:35 am

but I only have 3 bi

10:35 am

there are 10 Bi words

10:35 am

i need 4 B words and i am just wondering how many are bi and how many are bL

10:35 am

and 14 Bl words

10:35 am

ok then all my missing b are bi ! for i have only 6

10:35 am

wow, that will make quite a dent in my B

10:36 am

thanks!

10:36 am

nowadays there's a lot of Bi's

10:36 am

:)

10:36 am

I'm not sure knowing is half the battle in this case

10:36 am

that's assuming we can find them hokie

10:36 am

got one...

10:36 am

ha, great minds think alike

10:37 am

found a set

10:37 am

phantom: bistro

10:38 am

the only bi that I didn't know was a bi 7/40

10:38 am

not sure how I missed the giant animal

10:38 am

I def. don't have that 7

10:38 am

may i have a clue for that 7 then?

10:38 am

all I know it's a type of tree

10:41 am

well, I still have 4 bi and 1 bl left. moving on.

10:41 am

mr Clinton minus the dbl letter, and add and the plural letter then add Mr Roosevelt

10:42 am

ty

10:42 am

sassist - a teenage girl

10:42 am

:)

10:42 am

i thought of that one too hokie!

10:42 am

thanks

10:43 am

aaack what else can there b

10:44 am

I have monkeyed all kinds of bi words, so they must be 6 or more letters

10:44 am

ick

10:44 am

only 2 bi 6 words

10:45 am

and they are together with a different last letter

10:45 am

well I don't have either, so my instincts were right!

10:45 am

oh ok that will help

10:45 am

i only had one of them

10:45 am

and then un-plural it

10:45 am

phew

10:45 am

thanks

10:45 am

after that 7, there is a a bi 4,5,and the 2 6's

10:46 am

got a pt one

10:47 am

and the other, thx

10:47 am

what do we have from the left O? i have: or4 and 5, another or5, and os4

10:47 am

or 6

10:48 am

os7

10:48 am

I still need 2 there but have or6 so guess I will try to figure out hurshy's

10:48 am

hmm ok

10:49 am

ok, os7 is one

10:49 am

ok got or6

10:49 am

so many ways to go for that, not going to be able to monkey os7

10:50 am

i used MW

10:50 am

it appears to be a disease

10:50 am

I'm assuming it's bone related

10:50 am

but i guess it's just bone formation

10:51 am

not necessarily bad

10:51 am

and I guess I'm missing an or5 based on your post

10:51 am

just take out the -eopor- from the common bone disease

10:52 am

thanks, definitely never seen that before

10:52 am

or5/12 is apparently the lowest deck on a ship

10:52 am

ok, got it with the stats, thx

10:52 am

hello all...

10:53 am

pen!

10:53 am

one more E and i'll be done with all the vowel words

10:53 am

hi pen

10:53 am

carla!

10:53 am

any guess on my missing lower i, hurshy?

10:53 am

Hello, pen.

10:53 am

Thanks Lickety for us not having to click if we wanted to see the clues.

10:54 am

well hokie, my last one was plural because i wasn't going up first

10:56 am

phantom - isotope

10:56 am

10:56 am

hi bea...hursh....mary....

10:56 am

oh, I finished the E too, and the bottom S

10:57 am

ok then what is my E

10:57 am

et5 is the only single

10:57 am

o i found it it was the pt of es5

10:58 am

was just guessing that

10:58 am

so rare for us to get pt of that sort with the double cons that i didn't even think about it

10:58 am

I think I only got it because I had found all the others

10:59 am

right col gray!

10:59 am

i think i hadn't gotten it bc i am a doof

11:01 am

phantom oops

11:01 am

come at me, ruru

11:02 am

found my missing O

11:02 am

he wouldn't normally object to that one

11:02 am

it's when all the letters are not present in the grid that he complains

11:03 am

where'd he go? I'm still waiting for him to declare this easy.

11:03 am

I'm finding this grid difficult.

11:03 am

me too

11:04 am

made it down to 40. 4-12-16-5-3

11:04 am

left col grey!

11:05 am

still have 2R, i, and B in left col

11:05 am

yeah i had 2 R and they were ri7 and 8

11:06 am

well of course

11:06 am

food words that actually count for a change

11:06 am

ah, delish

11:06 am

nm, thought it was risotto

11:07 am

but found, thanks

11:07 am

well these sound delish also

11:07 am

I'm back! Did you find the i?

11:07 am

on the i I have one il and the rest is

11:07 am

yes, champ, only because it was clued. is7

11:08 am

hokie did you see where i said my last lower i was just a normal easy plural that i missed because i wasn't going UP first

11:08 am

yes, I saw that but couldn't make anything of it

11:08 am

well there are two plurals

11:08 am

so make sure you have both

11:09 am

and then there is one pt

11:09 am

I have 3 plurals

11:09 am

11:14 am

11:17 am

11:18 am

I have no idea what that could be

11:18 am

11:19 am

Thanks for that A.

11:19 am

thanks

11:20 am

phantom patois but not phantom patios

11:21 am

Thx hursh...needed those.

11:22 am

Found the is clue....whew! That blank tile was mocking me.

11:48 am

well, I'm going to list for these 13.

11:49 am

You will become a genius!

11:50 am

stumped on the first one. LOL

11:50 am

lol...

11:51 am

Crap...I jinxed you.

11:51 am

started at the bottom

11:54 am

lol, only found 1 of my 3 t's with the list. thank goodness I didn't try on my own all day. moving on for now!

11:54 am

which are you missing?

11:54 am

Well crap...I still have 3 too. Now I know to move on.

11:54 am

sorry, 1 of my 4. so 25%

11:55 am

found one!

11:55 am

down to 2!

11:55 am

TS6, TE5, and TA6

11:55 am

found the 5

11:55 am

I monkeyed the TS6. Thx carla!

11:56 am

Me too

11:56 am

is there a lot of vowels? I feel like I know a TS6 but can't get it.

11:56 am

got it finally

11:57 am

not a lot of vowels for anyone taking notes

11:57 am

No, just two. It looks like a plural, but there isn't a singular

11:57 am

I till need 1 there, but I have a ta6. Are there 2?

11:57 am

no

11:57 am

no idea on any of those t

11:57 am

s

11:58 am

oh, the ta6 is a snake I think

11:58 am

nan, we have had them all before, just not regular words anyone would know

11:58 am

I always think of that ts as a nick name for a dinosaur.

11:58 am

The one I have looks japanese. Shogun

11:58 am

got the ts - memory jarred by your vowels comment

11:59 am

yeah, that's the snake

11:59 am

good one, bea

11:59 am

anyone have the st8?

12:00 pm

not me...

12:00 pm

No, but I'm missing 4 S words

12:02 pm

list isn't helping with my 2 upper S's

12:02 pm

got them all - ty

12:03 pm

ok, one of the upper ones, change the vowel on the set hurshy gave us rhyming with author truman

12:04 pm

st8 is like runaway horse

12:04 pm

lol, the other top S was a regular word

12:04 pm

horse

12:04 pm

plural as I can not type

12:04 pm

lol

12:05 pm

got it, thanks

12:07 pm

Leaving the last 100 for later. Need to make a concerted effort to get Christmas out the door. Still have our tree up.

12:07 pm

bye bea!

12:07 pm

trying to think what a runaway horse is like

12:07 pm

bye, bea...

12:07 pm

Get 'er done, bea!

12:07 pm

hi/bye, bea - hi, everyone else :)

12:07 pm

Yeah, not seeing that one..

12:08 pm

hi welki...

12:08 pm

it's just reminiscent of an st word that has an M in it. any herd of animal can do it.

12:08 pm

welki!

12:08 pm

it looks like a plural without a singular and there's no definition.

12:09 pm

ends in a p5 that looks like a plural without a sing

12:09 pm

always makes me think scrabbler went into p5 even though I'm not sure what it means.

12:10 pm

even knowing it looks like the Calgary event doesn't help

12:11 pm

take out that M...

12:11 pm

oh, is there one in calgary?

12:11 pm

and make it pl...

12:11 pm

was thinking of the b5 one in custer state park in south dakota

12:12 pm

nan, it's like the calgary thing, but missing a consonant that's not in the grid

12:12 pm

one of the biggest rodeo's on the NA circuit, carla

12:12 pm

also the dixie one that's actually a restaurant in pigeon forge. may be owned by dolly

12:12 pm

this is the st 8 right?

12:13 pm

yes...

12:13 pm

we stumbled onto a big rodeo in cheyenne on our cross country trip

12:13 pm

Yes. Looks like a plural but there's no singular.

12:13 pm

oh got it - it does look like a plural

12:13 pm

That annoys me, btw

12:14 pm

lol

12:14 pm

thanks for the help everyone -- a little slow this am :)

12:14 pm

the 10 is dumb...

12:14 pm

agree

12:14 pm

I did see phantom stapes earlier, another pl without sing. I wonder if it is related.

12:14 pm

does it build from an 8?

12:15 pm

so dumb

12:15 pm

yes, nan. you probably shouldn't find it as it'll just annoy you too

12:15 pm

and it is a po?

12:16 pm

Go left! *says the person who has issues going left

12:16 pm

yes, a superlative

12:16 pm

yes... comparative ending...

12:16 pm

oh lord!

12:16 pm

I warned you!

12:18 pm

finally finished

12:18 pm

12:18 pm

12:19 pm

thx!

12:20 pm

at least I got to hoet

12:21 pm

That's a big deal with this grid nan.

12:24 pm

yeah, HOET was a struggle for me, took some help

12:25 pm

well, just got wordle in 3 with a very lucky guess. the bot said I had 54 choices left.

12:26 pm

I got it in 3 today too. Same thing...had 2 letters and made a good guess.

12:26 pm

I only had one yellow

12:26 pm

so I had eliminated a lot

12:27 pm

Lucky....genius...it's a fine line. :)

12:27 pm

lol. speaking of genius, I hit genius the other day on spelling bee without finding the pangram, and yesterday found the pangram and only got to nice.

12:28 pm

12:55 pm

Male Clinton's first name, minus the last letter + first four of Oprah's guy pal

12:58 pm

I had the anagram of that...thanks Molly

1:00 pm

Huh? There is no anagram of it. Not a seven letter one

1:01 pm

excuse me...I was all around it. And also excuse me while I go smack my husband who isn't listening to me....

1:02 pm

I never know what people mean when they say they were all around it

well, when I say it it means I was all around the actual answer without getting it

duh

1:06 pm

I had the exact letters in the wrong order. And went in circles. Like that guy that was stuck in a self driving car at the airport last week, going in circles. Ha! Poor sucker.

1:11 pm

Finally done. Have a great day, and thanks for your help!

bye champ!

1:29 pm

I have to object to de7.

yeah, just as dumb as the other

1:39 pm

1:44 pm

Now I have NBT

2:26 pm

hello again - 64 left and I think I will be headed for the list once I find some more 4's

2:42 pm
