mattygroves

Hi all. Can anyone give me a nudge on the AC7, please?

6:03 am

MollyL

Sounds like comedian Dan from The Blues Brothers

6:03 am

mattygroves

Great clue - thanks, Molly. How are you today?

6:03 am

MollyL

Not bad, and you?

6:04 am

mattygroves

Not bad. We had Jeff's mum's funeral yesterday, but we go to Sardinia tomorrow for 12 days, so ups and downs

6:05 am

MollyL

I'm sure it will be nice for the both of you to get away for a while.

6:05 am

mattygroves

Indeed. I'm looking forward to it - though I hope the trip home is OK; British Airways pilots are striking on and off through September

6:06 am

MollyL

Ack. Good luck. I hope it doesn't affect your flight home.

6:07 am

mattygroves

Me too. Still, in a way, better that than the other way around ;)

6:08 am

MollyL

True. Stranded on vacation has its merits.
: D

6:42 am

mattygroves

Indeed ;) I don't go back to work until the Monday, so...(we're due to come back Thursday 12 September)

MLFAN17

hello

8:43 am

dan2bit

morning all! starting my next job on 9/9

8:44 am

MLFAN17

congats

8:44 am

MLFAN17

dan Its been quieting in here

8:44 am

dan2bit

thanks! looking forward to it actually, after a stressful summer search

8:44 am

MLFAN17

what type of work?

8:46 am

dan2bit

I'm a software builder, primarily I've been working in education software, which is a small (and weird) niche community

8:46 am

MLFAN17

sounds entertaining

8:47 am

dan2bit

for me, it's preferable to the other software niches in the DC area, which are basically financial services or defense contracting

8:47 am

dan2bit

at least until Amazon HQ2 is really up and running

8:48 am

MLFAN17

would that be a dream job?

8:50 am

dan2bit

it really depends. I've heard mixed things about the way in which Amazon gets stuff built. They do have an education-facing group in AWS that I have some connections to

8:50 am

dan2bit

they certainly pay well :-)

8:50 am

MLFAN17

lucky you:)

8:51 am

dan2bit

well I'm not going there (yet anyway)

8:51 am

MLFAN17

where is the headquarters located?

8:51 am

MLFAN17

are

8:52 am

dan2bit

Amazon is building out a new campus in Arlington, just between the Pentagon and DCA airport. The neighborhood is called Crystal City

8:52 am

dan2bit

my new company is out in Reston, near IAD airport

8:52 am

MLFAN17

ohh that area ...cool

8:53 am

MLFAN17

I am fron va:)

8:54 am

dan2bit

ah yes. We are between the two, hoping for an Amazon Effect in our real estate values :-)

8:55 am

MLFAN17

the Washington metro area has gotten expensive enough

8:55 am

dan2bit

too true

8:56 am

MLFAN17

I want to go back so badly but THE CHANGES ..WOW

8:58 am

dan2bit

yes, I'm at the age now where I have to stop giving directions that are "turn left where that restaurant used to be"

8:58 am

MLFAN17

lol you are not kidding

9:01 am

MLFAN17

do you feel out of place there?

9:02 am

dan2bit

no I was born and raised in DC itself, moved out to the burbs after college in the mid-90's

9:02 am

dan2bit

it's gotten bigger and busier but it still feels like home

9:03 am

MLFAN17

i was born there too. lived overseas and went back to the area

9:03 am

MLFAN17

since things went up in price hubby and i had to move

9:03 am

dan2bit

foreign service or military family?

9:03 am

MLFAN17

dan good you are adjusting

9:03 am

MLFAN17

or hae adjusted is that better?lol

9:03 am

MLFAN17

gov

9:04 am

MLFAN17

the changes there make me so sad

9:04 am

hokie carla

I am from VA too, but my end of the state is vastly different from that end.

9:04 am

MLFAN17

hi hokie.you are from the southern part right?

9:04 am

dan2bit

I have been very fortunate to have made some smart real estate choices along the way. If you get off that escalator in this area, it's all but impossible to get back on

9:05 am

hokie carla

the next to last SW county, right on the TN border.

9:05 am

MLFAN17

dan yeah kinda busy and crowded

9:06 am

dan2bit

oh wow - yeah super different. I love touristing in your mountains though carla

9:06 am

MLFAN17

hokie ohhh you mean virginisee?

9:06 am

MLFAN17

lol

9:06 am

MLFAN17

i gtg will beback

9:06 am

hokie carla

yeah, I told my husband I never ever wanted to move to NOVA

9:07 am

hokie carla

9:21 am

Uneaixoise

9:21 am

Uneaixoise

Will never finish this grid!

9:21 am

hokie carla

9:22 am

hokie carla

too tough for a big one

9:31 am

MLFAN17

agreed gotten tough

9:33 am

MLFAN17

oh that ca 9 was so hard...NOT

9:35 am

hokie carla

I know!

9:36 am

MLFAN17

I expected it to be though lol

9:37 am

hokie carla

I wasn't even trying to find the 9 before I went to the list, it just found me

9:38 am

MLFAN17

i started typing it and i had to look to see that it was a 9

9:42 am

Jayk

does anyone have the first re6? i'm at my wits end!!

9:43 am

Haz1558

re6 - put a backing on a book again

9:43 am

hokie carla

nope, only re I skipped

9:43 am

PastorJ

Jayk something you might do to a beat-up old book

9:43 am

PastorJ

add a consonant within the re5 before it

9:43 am

hokie carla

nm, I do have that, was looking at ra 6 instead

9:43 am

hokie carla

what pastor j said

9:43 am

Jayk

oh dear lord! of course. Thanks

9:50 am

MLFAN17

ur6?

9:50 am

doseffing

... like bears

9:51 am

hokie carla

9:51 am

doseffing

... or ur + trigonometric ratio

9:51 am

MLFAN17

i have a ur that means bear

9:51 am

MLFAN17

9:51 am

doseffing

there's a 4 and a six

9:52 am

hokie carla

well, it's an adj. form

9:52 am

hokie carla

like what's the fe word for cat end in

9:52 am

hokie carla

I still have 19 after first pass through list. ugh. TTFN.

9:53 am

MLFAN17

but that isn't a 6

10:01 am

MollyL

Yep, it is. The ur6 that ends like the fe word for cat.

10:19 am

rururocks

You wont bear it when u see it

10:20 am

rururocks

I can’t talk about clues with cats

10:21 am

rururocks

MLFAN17

10:26 am

rururocks

10:26 am

MLFAN17

10:27 am

rururocks

You don’t want to upset the queen of the chat monitors

10:28 am

rururocks

Or her minions

10:28 am

ChrissieDee

Unbelievably rude

10:31 am

MLFAN17

10:34 am

jaxx7

Hi, Chrissie

10:35 am

ChrissieDee

Hi jaxx. Long time no see

10:35 am

ChrissieDee

Hiw are you?

10:35 am

jaxx7

Must be years now

10:35 am

ChrissieDee

Think you're right

10:36 am

jaxx7

My health has stopped me doing very much.

10:36 am

rururocks

rude?

10:36 am

ChrissieDee

Sorry to hear that.

10:36 am

jaxx7

How's the family?

10:37 am

rururocks

sorry to hear that too jaxx

10:37 am

ChrissieDee

Growing :)

10:37 am

MLFAN17

i am confused ruru

10:37 am

ChrissieDee

Up to 4 grandchildren

10:38 am

jaxx7

It has been a long time. I only recall one. My granddaughter is 22 next week and my grandson 14.

10:38 am

ChrissieDee

Should have had a part today for our Ruby wedding but hubby is ill so had to cancel

10:39 am

ChrissieDee

Is that the grandson who lives with you

10:39 am

jaxx7

So sorry to hear that. It is our Golden Wedding at Christmas and there are times when I wonder if I'll reach it.

10:40 am

ChrissieDee

Sorry to hear that too jaxx

10:40 am

jaxx7

You have a good memory. He is with us during the week, going home at weekends. he has an allotment which he tends with great care.

10:41 am

ChrissieDee

That's a lovely hobby

10:41 am

jaxx7

He is a great gardener and we enjoy his veg especially.

10:41 am

rururocks

good morning ori

10:43 am

jaxx7

I'd rather he was out in the fresh air than sitting in front of a game machine

10:43 am

ChrissieDee

Definitely

10:43 am

origami

Good morning, ru

10:44 am

jaxx7

How old are your grandchildren? It must be disappointing about your Ruby wedding party

10:44 am

MLFAN17

hello origami

10:45 am

origami

Hi fan

10:46 am

ChrissieDee

Eldest nearly 5. Starts scholl next week. The family came home from China last summer. Had a boy,born over there. Daughter has 2 girls. One just turned 3 and one 7 months 💓💓

10:46 am

jaxx7

bet they keep you busy

10:47 am

MLFAN17

that is wonderful chrissie and i love the hearts

10:47 am

ChrissieDee

Yes, very, but wonderfully so

10:47 am

ChrissieDee

Thanks mlf

10:48 am

jaxx7

Are you glad they are back from China. It looks as if it is about to start there

10:50 am

ChrissieDee

It is a relief to have them back

10:50 am

jaxx7

There's no place like home. The world is not so safe any more

10:52 am

ChrissieDee

Are you still rocking the pink hair? :)

10:52 am

MLFAN17

i agree jaxx

10:53 am

jaxx7

No, sadly. Sitting anywhere for any length of time is impossible. Colonic cancer means you become attached to the loo

10:54 am

ChrissieDee

Oh no. So sorry jaxx. Didn't like to pry

10:55 am

jaxx7

I have had time to get used to the idea. Now they tell me I am losing my vision in my left eye as well. I won't be able to see the loo properly which can only be a blessing.

10:57 am

ChrissieDee

Jaxx, I've put my email address in my profile if you want to take it to chat anytime. I'll remove it in a minute

10:57 am

rururocks

wow Jaxx so sorry to hear this

10:57 am

Uneaixoise

So very sorry, Jaxx :-(

10:58 am

jaxx7

I will keep 'babbling' as long as I can. I would be totally bored without it.

10:59 am

Soodle

Hello ((((Jaxx)))). That is devastating news. I’m really sorry to hear it. I wish you nothing but the best, my friend.

11:00 am

jaxx7

Thanks soodle. How's the latest arrival doing?

11:01 am

jaxx7

Chrissie. Must have missed it

11:01 am

Soodle

He is a tonic, Jaxx. A beautiful healthy baby, blessed with very powerful lungs!!

11:01 am

ChrissieDee

Its there now. Forgot to press update before returning to puzzle!

11:02 am

jaxx7

You won't be able to ignore him then. Typical male!

11:02 am

jaxx7

Thanks, Chrissie.

11:03 am

Soodle

His Grandma(me) however, is paying dearly for the excesses of a my nieces wedding yesterday. I drank my head off & danced my feet off & thought I was 22 again. Suffering today!

11:04 am

jaxx7

It is hard to remember your age when you still feel 21

11:04 am

ChrissieDee

Go Soodle. Very jealous. Could do with some dancing

11:05 am

jaxx7

Well, people my husband is calling me so I must away. Thanks for the catch ups. Bye

11:05 am

Soodle

I think I danced more in the past 24 hours than I have done in the past 24 years. And quite possibly drank more as well. It was a terrific day, and after recent bereavements, great to have a happy family reunion.

11:06 am

Soodle

((((Jaxx))) Take care. I’m thinking of you.

11:06 am

ChrissieDee

Sounds wonderful

11:06 am

ChrissieDee

Bye jaxx

11:08 am

Soodle

Chrissie - so sorry to hear your hubby is so ill. What a bummer not being able to celebrate a milestone like your ruby anniversary.

11:10 am

ChrissieDee

Yes. He's completely out of the game. Slept all day. Just me, the dog and enough food and drink to,sink a battleship

11:11 am

Soodle

If I’m not being rude, can I ask what ails him?

11:11 am

ChrissieDee

Just virus I think, but a nasty one

11:13 am

Soodle

Well - that sounds treatable, thankfully. In the meantime, Chrissie, you treat YOURSELF!!

11:14 am

ChrissieDee

We can celebrate another day. The toughest part is cancelling the family coming. Like your day yesterday i was looking forward to us all being together

11:15 am

ChrissieDee

Thanks Soodle. Now I'd better go and feed the dog. Do you think I can give here cake? lol

11:17 am

Soodle

Yep, I hear you. But 40 years???? You get out of jail after 7 years after committing murder. I’d tip my fascinator (sp?) at you if it had survived!!! 😂😂😂

12:14 pm

MollyL

ag8 ends in what happens when you forget everything

12:15 pm

Aloyisius

well, the ag8 is a tuffy.. but if you have the ag6 before it, just add French Polynes**

12:15 pm

MollyL

Or maybe a more clever clue is forgetting how old you are
: D

12:16 pm

hokie carla

thx, I was on the right track at least but couldn't get the ending. thankful I remembered what forgetting everything is

12:16 pm

Aloyisius

12:20 pm

Aloyisius

12:37 pm

MLFAN17

bzz why don't you want to take a nap?

12:37 pm

12:37 pm

MLFAN17

12:38 pm

hokie carla

sorry, I thought it was a funny made up word

12:38 pm

Anyone have a clue for that Ca9?

12:39 pm

MLFAN17

12:39 pm

MLFAN17

1:11 pm

rururocks

1:11 pm

1:22 pm

cybernan

good morning all -- high % of fours in this one

1:23 pm

hurshy

woohoo

1:30 pm

cybernan

I can't figure out why the thinker is considered to be one of his greatest works -- it is one of the least complex

1:32 pm

MLFAN17

cyber really?

1:33 pm

cybernan

yes --- have a look at 'the gates of hell', 'the burghers of calais' or 'the kiss'

1:33 pm

MLFAN17

do you mean in the detail of them?

1:34 pm

cybernan

and the composition

1:34 pm

MLFAN17

hmm

1:35 pm

MLFAN17

its a strange sculpture to begin with in my opinion?

1:35 pm

MLFAN17

were those that you mentioned before the Thinker or what time period?

1:35 pm

cybernan

just my opinion, mind you --- guess it didn't make as much of impression on me as the others when I saw them at his gallery

1:36 pm

cybernan

have no idea

1:36 pm

MollyL

Well Nan, art and how it is evaluated is a wide ranging thing. Consider Jackson Pollock.

1:37 pm

cybernan

exactly! - I know that some admire pollock -- personally, I think he is in the same category as my 7 yearold grandchildren

1:37 pm

MLFAN17

lol ouch cyber

1:38 pm

MLFAN17

the kiss seems not as complex to me

1:39 pm

cybernan

it is carved out of marble, mlf and much more sensual in real life than in a photo.

1:39 pm

cybernan

that is also true of a lot of pieces of art -- not just sculptures

1:39 pm

MLFAN17

true materials do make a difference

1:40 pm

rururocks

i love pollock's last works.. they are amaznig

1:40 pm

rururocks

van gough is my favorite artist however

1:41 pm

rururocks

(hoping Nan will buy me a van gough for my birthday next month) :D

1:42 pm

cybernan

sorry - I just don't see that it takes a lot of talent to throw paint at a canvas

1:42 pm

rururocks

my favorite Rodin is the old woman in the chair.. i can't remember the name of it however

1:43 pm

MLFAN17

I love George suerate

1:43 pm

rururocks

i just saw a number of Pollocks at the MOMA in NY.. i'm not crazy about the earlier stuff.. but his last two works are incredible

1:43 pm

MLFAN17

sorry spelled that wrong I think

1:44 pm

rururocks

Seurat

1:45 pm

MLFAN17
