11:06 am

cybernan

want a clue?

11:08 am

hokie carla

uh, well one is clued just below but I'm not getting it. se8. The se7 appears to fit the clue.

11:08 am

hokie carla

the other is an6. I'm sure it's probably something easy but I can't see it.

11:09 am

hokie carla

found the an

11:10 am

cybernan

se 8: is and adjective meaning capable of logical thought. mailed or pushed away + the ending of a doctor's client

11:10 am

cybernan

missing the first an 6 - can you clue?

11:12 am

hokie carla

it has what I call a British ending

11:13 am

hokie carla

same as the 5/10 below it but an extra consonant thrown in

11:13 am

cybernan

nothing coming to mind

11:13 am

hokie carla

looks like the actual meaning is in scottish dialect

11:14 am

hokie carla

I think I've only ever seen it here and got lucky trying things

11:15 am

hokie carla

ah, se8 - what we hope the robots and AI don't turn into. FW!

how weird. A Pizza Hut delivery vehicle just drove by. That shape on the roof was classic Pizza Hut. I didn't know we had one around here.

2:39 pm

72 Temple Owl

i just received a request for donation lwtter from a college that was mailed 8 years ago. it's a full moon.

2:39 pm

zoozzoom

All we have are people on little mopeds who deliver pizza in the back boxs. Nothing fancy like that lol

2:40 pm

zoozzoom

Your postal is a tad slow, T Owl LOL

2:41 pm

72 Temple Owl

i think the girl got it wrong. i think the mailing was end of fiscal year begging but based on my joining their radio staion back then.. they sold the license two or three years ago.

2:42 pm

72 Temple Owl

but our postal is slower than ever at a time when it's easier and easier to get around and mail sorting is automated. go figure.

2:42 pm

72 Temple Owl

either way, they

2:42 pm

72 Temple Owl

re out of luck

2:43 pm

zoozzoom

If I went to send a letter here on the island to a resident here on the island it would have to go to the mainland to be sorted then come back to the island to be delivered lol

2:44 pm

72 Temple Owl

ah, bureaucracy.

2:45 pm

72 Temple Owl

also, if a number is off by even a digit it goes into dead letter bin for months. no one even tries to deliver it.

2:46 pm

zoozzoom

That is crazy.

2:47 pm

72 Temple Owl

isn't it? my SIL birthday card came back two months later, for the number 18a instead of 188. they are one of the few people in town with that surname.

2:47 pm

72 Temple Owl

181. they are residents for about 10 years there.

2:48 pm

zoozzoom

Some guy in the UK was making his own stamps with his own designs and no one in the postal servicenoticed for about a year LOL

2:49 pm

zoozzoom

You would of thought with an unusual surname the post person would of known whom it was for, T Owl!

2:49 pm

72 Temple Owl

here we can do that via the post office. have never ddone, so do not know how it works. that is a fav story!

2:49 pm

72 Temple Owl

not unusual, just not many in town.

2:50 pm

72 Temple Owl

i need to get into the garden and work a bit. have lots of herb seeds, need to get them potted.

2:50 pm

72 Temple Owl

i hate potting

2:51 pm

dcseain

though the weather is good for that tedious task

2:51 pm

zoozzoom

Hope it goes well, T Owl. I think potting is relaxing!

2:54 pm

zoozzoom

Well I am finished. will go and do other thigs. Nice to see you, DC! Take care.

5:58 pm

rururocks

une.. maybe you have to pay the apartment **** by the first of each month?

6:05 pm

MollyL

I wonder if sometimes people get the clues and don't say so

6:10 pm

Gram-52

hint for any of the 8's? please

6:42 pm

MollyL

Hints for the 8 letter words are scattered throughout the chat. If you click on the square icon above the chat (when you hover over it it says VIEW ENTIRE CHAT LOG you can find them all there.

6:46 pm

kje

one 8 is en8, extends from en7 - to interweave, wind in and around

6:47 pm

kje

the un7 and 8 combo is similar

6:51 pm

kje

se8 is to have consciousness... like a se8 being

6:55 pm

rururocks

Kje to the rescue

6:58 pm

MollyL

And yet, I think Gram-52 has left the building. No matter, clues for others.

7:08 pm

rururocks

well at least in this case there was at least a half hour non response so not surprising she checked out

7:15 pm

Good Evening.

10:02 pm

danf63

Good evening Nef

10:04 pm

Bugsaw

Hi Nef and other non-cranky people. I just spent a couple of hours with a very cranky 8 year old. Had enough of whining.

10:05 pm

Nef

Hi dan63; how are you this evening?

10:06 pm

Nef

Hi Bugsaw. I was just dealing with a very tired & cranky 10 year old myself (who should have been asleep an hour ago!)

10:07 pm

Bugsaw

That is what happened to this one. Her Dad "forgot" to send her to bed on a school night. Poor Mum and sister. . .

10:10 pm

Nef

Oh oh. My grandson just found out the requirements for his second degree black belt for TaeKwonDo & was arguing with me about them. I finally said I donâ€™t *have* to pay the $$$fee if he wonâ€™t listen!

10:12 pm

cherlyq

man 3 words left and I am stuck

10:12 pm

Bugsaw

good for you, Nef. I finally said that I would go home if she couldn't remember how to speak to me without being rude. Since this is her special time with me she tried harder

10:12 pm

Bugsaw

I have 33 more to go cherly and am not a good cluer but will try to help if I can

10:13 pm

Nef

(Iâ€™m also tired; I drove 240 miles today home from a conference in the rain.)

10:13 pm

Bugsaw

driving on the highway in rain is very tiring. I hope you both go to bed early tonight.

10:14 pm

cherlyq

I have had two clues so far for the first an 6 and cant for the life of me still get it think I have tried to long lol

10:14 pm

Nef

I will try to help you look for the words also cherlyq What are you missing?

10:16 pm

cherlyq

the other are se 6 and se 7

10:16 pm

Bugsaw

an + m****ral cycle for women was the clue that helped me. All you do is type an and then fill in the * letters

10:17 pm

Bugsaw

or add one consonant before the last letter of the an5,10 just after it

10:18 pm

Bugsaw

there are two se 6,18 words. If you have the first one, the second just changes the last vowel. The 7 is the plural. you are SO close to both

10:19 pm

Nef

An 6: the last word in a prayer (but change the â€œmâ€ to an â€œnâ€); and add the first 2 letters of the opposite of â€œgoâ€

10:19 pm

cherlyq

ok ty Bugswa

10:19 pm

cherlyq

thanks Nef

10:20 pm

cherlyq

fire works

10:20 pm

Nef

Sorry, Iâ€™m a bit slow at clueing tonight

10:20 pm

Bugsaw

YAY cherlyq

10:20 pm

cherlyq

man I was seeing crosseyed

10:21 pm

Nef

YAY, cherlyq!!! WTG!!!

10:21 pm

Bugsaw

Do you know about Morewords?

10:21 pm

cherlyq

no

10:22 pm

cherlyq

what is Morewords

10:22 pm

cherlyq

this was a good puzzle

10:23 pm

Bugsaw

it is a tool I have to use at the end of my search when I am blind to words. You can Google it. You type in the letters you know and put a dash for the letters you don't. For example: an----

10:23 pm

cherlyq

oh cool I will have to look for that

10:23 pm

Bugsaw

it will show you a list of words that could be the one you are looking for and that helps narrow things down

10:24 pm

cherlyq

well its gotten late going to hit the sack thanks again

10:25 pm

Bugsaw

lots of people use it and lots of other people scorn us out for using it. Who cares?

10:25 pm

Bugsaw

you are welcome

10:38 pm

Nef

I use it when I donâ€™t want to resort to Licketyâ€™s list. And Iâ€™m sorry I couldnâ€™t answer sooner; my game froze. ðŸ˜•

11:00 pm

danf63

Sorry Nef...work exploded for a moment. I am fine. How are you?

11:08 pm

Nef

Iâ€™m fine too. Just tired from along day & dealing with cranky kid.

11:10 pm

Nef

What kind of work do you do where work â€œexplodesâ€ at this time of day?

11:14 pm

danf63

I manage part of a security company...work explodes 24/7, although not usually an actual Horrible thing (Thank goodness!), usually just someone trying to go where they aren't allowed. Recently, it's homeless people trying to get out of the rain, which is why companies hire us. Unfortunate, but a reality.

11:17 pm

Nef

Thatâ€™s kind of sad; but I suppose companies donâ€™t want wet homeless people hanging around either.

11:17 pm

Nef

(I didnâ€™t know it rained much in San Diego)

11:18 pm

danf63

(We are getting more than the usual amount of rain this year...almost doucle normal)

11:20 pm

danf63

If they didn't use doorways as restrooms, or leave garbage and trash around when they left, it would be as big a problem. With the issues some of them have, it can be dangerous to leave them out where they can hurt themselves or others as well. It really is a lose/lose situation for everyone.

11:20 pm

Nef

And weâ€™re getting lots of rain up here in MN too; the Mississippi River hasnâ€™t been within its banks yet this spring up here.

11:22 pm

danf63

I've read about the weather being bad throughout the North and Mid west. I am usually glad that I live here with our 3 seasons...perfect or hot or rain. Never found anything like it anywhere else.

11:23 pm

Nef

Thatâ€™s true. The sad thing is, our â€œsystemâ€ kind of causes some of the problems; doesnâ€™t it? I think if we had decent mental health care; our homeless population (& our jails!) would be much smaller.

11:25 pm

Nef

Ahh, but da63; you donâ€™t have the thousands of green colors in the spring; or the very distinct 4 seasons either. ðŸ˜‰

11:25 pm

danf63

That's a big part of it, but we don't make it any better by enabling them either. I have personally offered to help get a homeless family into a shelter to get out of the weather (in dead winter...cold and pouring rain), only to have them tell me that they don't want to get off the streets because "we like it". I felt so bad for the kids!

11:26 pm

danf63

no we don't. One green, no snow, and palm trees don't turn colors. But our average is 70 degrees, light clouds, a breeze off the ocean. I have never wondered why so many people come here from all over the world.

11:30 pm

Nef

Iâ€™ll never forget the winter some relatives came to visit from SanDiego when I was little growing up in NW MN. I swear my aunt & her sister were blue the whole time they were here!

11:31 pm

Nef

As far as the homeless, some of them are safer on the streets than in the shelters theyâ€™ve told the media up here.

11:33 pm

danf63

I spent January, February, and March at Ft Dix NJ as an Army recruit...Caught pneumonia my second week of Basic Training, caught it again 3 weeks later. When I came home after I was discharged, I didn't get cold again for 30 years. drove my ex-wife crazy!

11:34 pm

Nef

So you are acclimatized to San Diego?

11:35 pm

danf63

They have family shelters, women only shelters, and most of the shelters here have some form of security, but there are still problems.

11:36 pm

Nef

Yeah, we have the same thing here.

11:36 pm

danf63

It has to get down in the low 40s before I grab a jacket still, but I have always loved rain and snow. I was the only recruit to volunteer for snow shovel duty.

11:38 pm

Nef

LOL!!! Most recruits must have known you were nuts then! ðŸ˜„

11:41 pm

danf63

Most of them were eeither from the deep south, or far north. I figured half of them hatedthe cold and the other half had shoveled enough in their lives already. I grew up in San Diego, Backpacked all over the Sierra Nevada Mountains as a teen, so it didn't bother me that much

11:46 pm

Nef

We had a neighbor move in next door 1 November. She was from the Middle East; & at first she thought it was so much fun to shovel. About half way through December; she wanted to know when spring was coming; there was too much snow for her to keep up with it all.

11:50 pm

Nef

I just looked at the time; I have to get up early & take hubby to an early morning doctor appt., so I should get to bed before the flip or Iâ€™ll be up too late again.
