I am forever in awe of you ability with the K's, sprite. I feel like I always get the last few of them as my last words....
oh that is just an illusion. I ended up with them at the end every freaking time and decided to get them out of the way first in future. So that I can enjoy the rest of the grid :D
any u clues>
ut5 meaning useful in French
one of them gives me belly ache

Morning. Joining the clue train, can I have stats please for the Y?

hiya matty! ya4/7
Thank you - and hi all! I've been awake since 4am - less than fun. I'm off to a sort of renn fayre later, so don't have time to go back to sleep - boo!
BTW, can you tell me what you see as my profile pic?
ah yes, that kind of nights... I know them well. Hope you will have a great time at the fair anyway
two beautiful hugging girls
or kids, anyway
One girl, one boy (Matilda and Alfie) - thank you! They were in the UK a couple of weeks ago
sorry for the girls thing. How awesome to have them near for a while.
Nothing to be sorry about! It's hard to tell, especially when the picture gets slightly smushed
I try not to label so much, grin, but sometimes I still slip.
We all do! Tilda is now five, Alfie 3. Cute kids!
they look awesome. So sweet and vivid.
Happy, energetic, very loved kids.
this grid put a harry belafonte song into my head... I keep going Dayyyyyoooo... daylight come and I wanna go home.
Hahhaaa! I need coffee
loved, loving and loveable... what more can you wish for?
Now I have that earworm. Thanks a bunch :D
*grins* always happy to share
phantom satellite
and cellulite but that is not so bad if it stays a phantom
oh, indeed
huh. fund a 2nd 8 on my own.
good job
elicit and illicit are other phantoms.
yep, tried those too
i found one ts word
there's only one
just tried cids thanks to El cantar de mío cid.
they stripped and rewaxed the landings in my building today.
wow. Noisy?
complete with warnings about the work on the inside of the doors, and notices about the completed work on the outside of the doors.
no, not noisy at all.
but i have a very long entry hall.
sounds like they are doing a good job
with two betds in it.
and a third 8
some days the monkeys are more on point than others.
some days, the biggies are more normal than others too
i got a lovely shot of the sun setting over the Blue Ridge Mountains on my way to Games Night

phantom elicit and illicit. howdy folks.
ooh hokie is up early
yeah, about to play in the pickleball club champ in an hour
champ?
championship
you mean championship?
do you win a jar of pickles when you come out on top?
That would be a dilly of a good prize
unless they're just gherkin you off
If she wins, Carla will relish her trophy
that wouldn't be kosher though
would be my bread and butter for playing all year
And a championship is something worth the early rise and brine
she'll be listed in the table of cornichons
if she loses however she'll be a claussen case
She will have to get down to vlasics and start all over
(brovo)
bravo that was sorry
boy that er8 sure sticks out to me
Don't be so hard on those who missed it
only if they pull a boner and spell it wrong I guess
Well, I don't think Ru would be intentionally mean. Or woody?
not mean but firm
not that I wouldn't poke fun though
Others will have to keep a stiff upper lip
ha
would you have to be a member of a group to do it?
Not a group, a circle, jerk
I imagine they meet for a schlong time though?
Depends on their inflation rate
well that's a hands on experience then
Different strokes for different folks
sounds like you have a good grasp on things molly

Good morning, Babblers. :)
I see that the grid is telling me it is time to rise and shine. :)

i'm having an apple cinnamon teacake and apple cinnamon tea :D
well, the cake sounds good
i tried at least like 5 different brands of apple cinnamon tea a few years back to find a good one
most are too heavy on the spice and not apple-y enough
but TAZO is good
not into tea
:O
is there a core group of spicey apple teas
there's just all the major tea brands that you find in grocery stores - bigelow, celestial seasonings, etc
you sound like an apple incider
i love apples deep down in my core
I was pectin better from you hursh
i only have the seeds of greatness
`I'm pie-eyed right now
We must get to the core of this tea issue.
ah, crossy's joined in, now it's a real gala occasion
phantoms: eclectic, elicit, illicit
How else filled out a form for a piece of the Weston bread settlement? I fully expect to get my cheque for $6.53 sometime in the next year or so. :/
Who*
what was the problem with the bread?
Price fixing scam. They were order to pay $500 million.
:(
So, $500 million divided by every applicant.
The application form went public yesterday.
that's not much per sl5
Lol
Reminds me of the time I got a refund cheque from Bell Canada. It was for eight cents.
oh brother
I never cashed it in hopes that it would mess up their system of checks and balances.
ha
I get solace in the fact that it cost them 34 cents to mail me eight cents.
that is something
Small victories keep me going. :)
then you need a miniature replica of the sculpture Nike of Samothrace
aka Winged Victory
Do not know who that is.
it's a sculpture in the Louvre
Just looked it up. Poor statue has no head.
well, it is like 2000 years old
a lot can happen in that amount of time
A symbol of winning the race of time, but losing your head in the process. :)
Do not mind me. My writing muse is strong today, and the monkey's at their typwriters are restless.
:)
Best get the spell-check monkey going.
phantom: icicle
I thought everyone knew Nike because of the shoes
they do know the shoes but perhaps not the source of the name
That would be correct.

er mah gerd, found an 8 and monkeyed a 7
Eh mah gerd? Seriously?
are you dissing my perfectly crappy slang? LOL
I had to read that a couple times.
Go Gwen!
never heard of that one... ;o)
gwen...you should go work for the NY Times....they are now putting in some modern slang into their crossword puzzles....
er mah GERD !!!
sounds like someone's typos made it into slang...
you're all missing the point -- i monkeyed a SEVEN
There's a boatload of 'em...you'll monkey more!
nice...
but not as interesting as your slang... ;o)
according to google the "ermahgerd" "meme" officially (?) died on 2012. Oh well LOL
well i guess your slang isn't modern enough for the NYT...
BBL for last 27
bye, champ...
one way to "live forever" is learn some new slang -- and get some rizz
then I guess I won't live forever...
more than halfway but three t***s short of nbt, ARGH
later, y'alls
bye, gwen...
LOL died earlier than that, yet people still use it
yes....like the word "cool"....my 20 something great nephews use that word....
Worse, there are people who still use the word "groovy"
ouuu...don't know anyone who still uses that....i do use "cool" though....
st 8 is a stupid word....
taking a break....bye all...
ty penquis for st8
I think a lot of the 7's and 8's ure stupid words, so unfortuneately that doesn't make the st 8 stand out for me!
if we can have ce 4 (irish/scottiish descent) why not the adjective ce 6?
ce4 is a tool made from a stone. Ce6 is proper.
didn't know there was another def. ty
does anyone have a clue for the st 8 other than it is a stupid word?
more of the moonshine cooker

Sometimes you can't drag a word out no matter how long you look. Other times the word comes roaring out of the deep recesses of the gray.
i keep seeing cellulite. in the grid, that is.
also cellulitis
TO, called cellulite as a phantom earlier. ;)
Cellulite has been called as a phantom all day
I wish it were a phantom
dilll
did you know that once upon a time cellulite was not considered ugly or problematic? nobody really thought much about it until the beauty industry decided to tell everyone that it was horrible
Yes, and once upon a time, Rubenesque, plump women were considered sexy.
and hair on the women's legs was OK.
Some women still don't shave their legs or armpits. It's not my style, but hey, whatever floats your boat.
I think it is still acceptable in Europe to not shve.
shave
I read that the whole idea of shaving legs and underarms was promoted by the Gilette company to sell more razors. Also so-called women's razors are identical to men's razors except they are pink and COST MORE
After chemotherapy caused all my body hair to fall out three years ago, I stopped shaving all together. I still have very sparse and fine hair. I cant believe all the time and effort I spent shaving over the years just to be socially acceptable. I no longer care.
Sadly my eyebrows only grew back very sparsely. :(
Legs and arms aside, the shaving of pubic hair to look like a ten-year-old girl kind of freaks me out.
We are so manipulated by the fashion industry and related products to conform to very artificial and often dangerous standards. I agree Molly, shaved pubic hair renders a woman child like, quite creepy
Well, I still have 97 left to go, but I must depart. TTFN
But that is so in now with Republicans Molly?
The pubic hair grooming all came into play to make women look less hairy in bikinis and skimpy underwear. Again, that is all manipulated by mens magazines and the fashion industry.
What is so in now with Republicans?
Protecting the epstein files
