2:58 am

Don't have either yet, sorry Medusa, looking...
2:59 am

3:02 am

Ugh, poor monkeys. The pa7/8 build off the pa6 (Italian for man, I think?)
3:02 am
medusa
Thanks. Not got the 6 yet but looking.
3:02 am
juniperberet
I kept trying to end them with T. It kept not working.
3:04 am
medusa
I have tried everything lol
3:04 am
medusa
I know no Italian!
3:06 am
juniperberet
pa + vowel + beginning of mentally well (for the 6). Another vowel for the 7. Plural for the 8.
3:08 am
medusa
Must stop noow for a while. Need to go out! lol
3:09 am

Do you have stats for the one O in the upper right hand corner and/or the lone E in the third column?
3:59 am
mattygroves
I'm ok - we put the tree up yesterday - I really must get up soon! (Those two things are not necessarily related)
3:59 am
medusa
oa5/10 for the o
4:00 am
medusa
Not sure if it is the right one but ei4/5 I think could be the e.
4:00 am
medusa
I do have them both
4:01 am
medusa
the e could be any of 3 so let me know if that is not the one if I am still here when you get it
4:02 am
medusa
is there a clue for the pa5/12 please?
4:04 am
mattygroves
There are a couple pa5/12 - one is like porridge (as in pe5 porridge hot, pe5 porridge cold...)
4:05 am
mattygroves
the other is the vegetable plus two consonants (it's plural of pe4/5). There may be more but I've not listed yet
4:06 am
zoozzoom
Matty the lone E is EQ 5/18
4:06 am
MollyL
There is only one pa5. It has three vowels in the middle. Matty is cluing pe words.
4:06 am
mattygroves
Oh god, that O - it's just the top row backwards - I feel very dense
4:06 am
medusa
Was about to say that molly. Thanks. Thanks zooz. Forgot about that one.
4:07 am
mattygroves
Sorry about that - I didn't notice that :)
4:07 am

No probs. Payback for giving you the wrong e. ;)

Cameron is so tight that if you stuck a lump of coal up his ass, in two weeks you'd have a diamond
4:50 pm
Deeha

4:51 pm
MollyL
Alas, it's true of so many people
4:53 pm
Deeha
My current favourite saying is '[ You come home 'ere yer drawers full of leaves and tell me you found 'alf a crown, and all of it in pennies' !!!!!!
5:28 pm

MollyL
Or drawers and leaves
6:25 pm
sreischman
I get a message that PEOPLE does not exist in the puzzle, but it does.
6:27 pm
sreischman
Now I get a message that DRONE does not exist in the puzzle. I give up.
6:30 pm
tabbycat
Sreischman, letters in the words have to be adjacent to each other
6:30 pm
tabbycat
Check out the help tab above for an explanation of how to play.
6:41 pm
MollyL
PEOPLE and DRONE do not exist in the puzzle. Neither does TROLL
6:47 pm
mkg
hi all. i have no 8s. any clues out there?
6:48 pm
mkg
sreischman, this is like the game boggle if you know it. rules are the same
6:50 pm
mkg
anyone hava clues for any of the 8s???? ty.
6:51 pm
mkg
why dont i see these 8s??????????ouch.
6:54 pm
MollyL
Maybe all those ?????s are in your way
6:54 pm
mkg
doesnt anyone on the chat have any of the 8s? desperate for a clue. ty
6:55 pm
mkg
molly for sure they are in the way.
6:55 pm
Nef
Sorry, mkg; I've just started a bit ago & I don't have any yet
6:56 pm
Nef
ARG! NOT A WORD SORRY
6:57 pm
mkg
short one D there nef.
6:57 pm
Nef
true, mkg; that's why I said it wasn't a word
6:58 pm
mkg
yup. you are lucky and the PB is empty.
6:59 pm
mkg
i guess no one has the 8s yet.
6:59 pm
MollyL
Why would someone go to the Penalty Box for posting something that isn't a word?
7:00 pm
mkg
if it had been a word molly. thats all. but it wasnt. sorry.
7:00 pm
mkg
molly do you have any of the 8s?
7:04 pm
Dorens
that's the non-word penalty Box molly.. we're into punishment around here :D
7:05 pm
Nef
mkg; farther down in the chop, someone said that there is a pa8, pe 8 X2, and an AP8 So Im'm going to see if I can find at least one
7:05 pm
MollyL
Oh wow. And here, all these years, I thought the penalty box was kind of a joke thing, considering the good food, drinks and hot tub.
7:12 pm
MollyL
The chop is a great source for clues
7:14 pm
Nef
dealing with autocorrect, Molly. It helps me *most* of the time; but not with names.
7:16 pm
MollyL
Oh that makes sense. "Chog" is a made up word here. I'm sure it triggers autocorrect, for those who use it.
7:18 pm
72 Temple Owl
hi nef
7:19 pm
Nef
Hi TO. How are you tonight?
7:19 pm
72 Temple Owl
i am fine,and you?
7:20 pm
Nef
doing okay; better & better every day (gotta keep telling myself that, it helps)
7:20 pm
72 Temple Owl
good!
7:24 pm
72 Temple Owl
pain is abating then.
7:26 pm
Nef
I tell it that, yes. I am almost 5 weeks post-op; and am SO impatient to be done with the whole healing & repair; & the doc and PT's all say this takes 3 months to heal & be back to "normal" (whatever that is!)
7:28 pm
72 Temple Owl
i hope is it, at least a bit. is therapy difficult?
7:29 pm
Bugsaw
Try switching your attitude from feeling like you are not doing enough to feeling like you deserve the rest and to be waited on for a little while. It really helps when you can pull it off, Nef. You DO deserve a rest.
7:30 pm
Nef
At times. On Friday she was working on releasing some of the adhesions; & I should have told her how much it hurt; but I didn't. The weekend was bad. :-(
7:30 pm
72 Temple Owl
nice,bugs.
7:31 pm
MollyL
Nef, why do you hide your pain?
7:31 pm
Nef
Bugsaw, I 've never thought about it that way. Interesting idea...
7:33 pm
Nef
Molly, I've been the nurse all these years; nurses are used to just soldiering through life I guess.
Working either 8 or 12 hour shifts, you might not get time to go to the bathroom or eat; you just keep going.
7:33 pm
Bugsaw
It worked for me when I was stopped by a broken leg. I couldn't do it every day but when I did it helped a lot.
7:33 pm
72 Temple Owl
ah, i hear the sound of sleigh bells and i think i see a red light in the distance. bbl
7:34 pm
Nef
LUCKY TO! (we don't have any snow here!
7:34 pm
72 Temple Owl
santa does not need snow; he flies!
7:36 pm
Nef
Bugs, I'll have to see if I can try it. DH was so confused when he found out dishes & the kitchen actually don't clean themselves
7:37 pm
MollyL
I get that Nef, I really do. But when it comes down to you being the patient and you being in pain, it's time to let others care for you.
7:37 pm
Bugsaw
I am sure with his needs and yours you can ask for help and all those people you have done for all these years would be happy to bring food or wash some dishes every day or so. My sister cleaned my house for me and I will always be grateful.
7:38 pm
Nef
I have 2 friends (both also retired nurses) who came & did laundry and other things (laundry is in the basement); and DH had the Nerve(!) to ask me when I'd be back doing laundry because they didn't do it right (I was so MAD I could have SPIT at him!)
7:39 pm
Bugsaw
So glad to hear your spirit is stll strong, Nef! He deserved some spit in his ear for that.
7:39 pm
Nef
(I did give him a huge piece of my mind; the ungrateful fool!)
7:39 pm
MollyL
Nef, when you have catered to someone's needs for that long, they have no idea that you have any needs of your own.
7:39 pm
72 Temple Owl
oh my!
7:39 pm
Bugsaw
I agree with Molly and he will get over it. Gratitude is learned.
7:39 pm
Nef
I found that out, Molly.
7:41 pm
MollyL
I don't think some people ever learn gratitude. Especially people who have been taken care of most of their life. It's that sense of entitlement that I will never understand. And yes, where is the gratitude? Or the giving back to someone who has given so much?
7:41 pm
Nef
He definitiely has tried to pick up after himself now. And the kids (actually, mostly our son & grandson) have been helpful too; but he still has no idea how a house functions.
7:42 pm
Bugsaw
My husband didn't understand either but he wasn't critical. That made all the difference. I am glad your boys are there for you. You have done so much for both of them.
7:43 pm
72 Temple Owl
yes, that is often the case. not so in our home but there is definitely a division of labor in some.
7:43 pm
Nef
Molly, he has M.S. So sometimes he's been in a wheelchair, he's been blind before; and I do normally run the house in such a way he isn't aware of what or how much work it takes.He also doesn't drive any more (and I'm so glad that I now can drive again; but it's been hard
7:43 pm
Bugsaw
Here is to you healing SUPER fast after DH has learned how to pick up after himself.
7:44 pm
72 Temple Owl
yes, i second that!
7:45 pm
Nef
(my knee replacement was my left knee; so it isn't affected by driving. I had to pass a "test" of someone going with me and letting me drive; my hyper critical son was my guinea pig; and he was pleased that I did well
7:46 pm
Nef
Thanks, guys.
7:47 pm
Bugsaw
We are all on your team, Nef. Heal fast
7:47 pm
Nef
8 years ago (when he was doing lots better & actually could remember things) when I had 3 major foot surgeries; he doted over me; & actually was able to do some housework back then.
7:50 pm
Bugsaw
I love that quote that says, " Growing old is like being penalized for a crime you haven't committed."
7:50 pm
MollyL
Well Nef, good luck to you. It's a hard life for someone who doesn't feel comfortable unless they are in the role of the caretaker. I hope you get to a point where you can let others care for you and that you realize that you might be in pain and you need something to relieve that pain.
7:52 pm
Nef
bugs, a friend (who is a PT; but not mine) told my that Pt stands for Pain & Terror
7:55 pm
Bugsaw
Ain't that the truth! They wanted me to go up and down stairs on crutches less than 24 hours after they did the surgery so I was pretty full of drugs. I remember asking the lovely PT guys who were trying to teach me how they ever decided to choose that profession. I told them right out, "Everyone hates PTs because it always hurts so much."
7:56 pm
Bugsaw
Good thing they forgave me for being so rude. THey told me they chose it not because it causes pain (altho they admitted they did) but because they want people to have as full a life as they did before.
7:57 pm
Bugsaw
I often thought of that when I was doing my PT exercises.
7:57 pm
Nef
LOL! My friend was the little girl I watched grow up. She loves what she does & I can't imagine her sitting still doing anything else.
7:58 pm
Nef
(Of course, now she's 6' 2" and jokes she can't find any tall guysthat can keep up with her.
7:59 pm
Bugsaw
I am glad she found what she loves and was lucky enough to get paid for doing it.
8:00 pm
Nef
yep. I loved doing what I did too; & felt very lucky that I got paid a living wage doing it too
8:02 pm
Bugsaw
It is not as common as it once was.
8:04 pm
Nef
From what I understand, earning a living wage isn't that common either these days...
8:05 pm
Bugsaw
Sadly, that is too true as well. 3 out of 4 sons are constantly struggling.
8:08 pm
Nef
My daughter just had her 12 year anniversary working for the state; I worry about my son, but he's doing okay so far. (he's a computer nerd , works from home as a QA specialist for a small company that makes different apps and programs independantly
8:12 pm
Bugsaw
Good wishes to you Nef. I am off to search for food.
8:13 pm
Nef
Take care, Bugsaw! Enjoy your supper
8:13 pm
Nef
