1:15 am

rbud

are those a "set', rain? I have pa7 x 3 and am wondering...

1:16 am

grannyrose

not really. rbud. only one pa7 leads to the pa9.

1:16 am

rbud

okay, ty, I have those. :)

1:18 am

brandyjack

1:40 am

rbud

okay, have as8, ma8, re8, and sa8 - could someone clue me the 8 I'm missing? thanks

1:45 am

rbud

ty, diz

1:47 am

brandyjack

missing the st 8

1:48 am

rbud

thanks so much - I don't like to use the list too early - or at all if I can swing it, haha

1:56 am

rbud

wow, now that's an odd word.

1:56 am

hurshy

want to clue it?

1:56 am

brandyjack

i still haven't figured
it out.......

1:57 am

rbud

its a biochemistry thing, aha. let's see.... thinking

1:58 am

rbud

too weird to piece together for me, how about the definition? "the lipase present in pancreatic juice."

1:59 am

brandyjack

i'm still trying to figure which of the 2 point letters is the lone one....

2:01 am

rbud

that's not working, as I try it, sorry.

2:03 am

rbud

st + anagram for big monkey + there are seven deadly ***s

2:03 am

hurshy

that works!

2:05 am

brandyjack

thanks. was a cruel word.......

2:05 am

rbud

oh, whew! hard to clue, glad it made some sense.

2:05 am

hurshy

could you also clue the pa9?

2:07 am

rbud

well, it comes from a pa7, what you do to a dog's head + the monster from the Loch - then plural.

2:07 am

rbud

another odd one if you ask me.

2:08 am

hurshy

yeah, odd. pa7 makes sense but not sure why you'd ever need to use the plural

2:09 am

rbud

it's a stretch for me to imagine using even the 7, haha - "the pa7 of your answer is blatantly irritating!"?

2:10 am

hurshy

but i feel like i've read it, like Dickens or Trollope or somebody would have used it

2:10 am

rbud

the state of being of a small square of butter? :D

2:14 am

hurshy

and i used your list of 8s but did not find ma8

2:14 am

hurshy

saw lots of not-quites

2:14 am

hurshy

like martinet and marinate and stuff

2:18 am

ursh

ma 6&8 make me think a person looks like a female horse - haha

2:22 am

rbud

same thing I thought! but then that plural - another silly one? I'm just too lazy to look up the def.

2:22 am

hurshy

*puzzling*

2:25 am

rbud

wel, whattaya know, it's a variation of the spelling for a swamp synonym

2:26 am

hurshy

between that and morewords, i finally got it

2:26 am

hurshy

thanks

2:27 am

rbud

olde English, it seems, maybe

2:27 am

rbud

yw

2:28 am

rbud

guess the plural works with that, then, not so silly.

2:34 am

maccafixx

se 6/21?

2:35 am

maccafixx

nm

2:35 am

hurshy

i have some really-bad-infection ones for that

2:36 am

rbud

thanks! didn't have those.

2:36 am

hurshy

that is why i always disregard "nm" posts :D

2:41 am

rbud

and I am glad you do! :)

2:50 am

hurshy

if i could just get a couple more bottom A

2:50 am

hurshy

and like one more left M

2:50 am

hurshy

that'd be pretty satisfactory

2:55 am

rbud

missing a fair amount of both of those. well, have 5 off that M and 10 from that A. Bet you have more. :D

2:57 am

hurshy

5 M, 16 A

2:58 am

hurshy

but, at least i have the nicest cat in the whole wide wold

3:00 am

rbud

since you made me look, I closed out that particular M. me 5, 6, 6, 5, 4, 5, 6, 4

3:00 am

hurshy

thems some mad skills right there

3:01 am

hurshy

thanks!

3:02 am

hurshy

well, i've got 90% of the words now

3:02 am

hurshy

so

3:02 am

hurshy

i think i say a fond ttfn and skedaddle

3:03 am

rbud

I'm only down to 91 left, but that's good so far. Laters and thanks for help! :)

3:03 am

rbud

(still listless)

6:08 am

MollyL

Really, what other game has words that have to do with pancreatic juices? : D

6:53 am

7:39 am

periwinkle

hi all

7:41 am

MLFAN17

can someone give another clue for the st8 I don't see it in chat

7:41 am

periwinkle

I saw an earlier clue that said the st8 contained an anagram of big monkey but I do not see how that is possible

7:42 am

rbud

it was st + anagram of a big monkey + there are seven deadly ***s

7:45 am

MLFAN17

Just overcast here

10:53 am

rururocks

foggy here.. or maybe i am :D

10:53 am

bichon

Having a heat wave

10:55 am

origami

It's supposed to rain later. I hope it stops since I'm doing an outdoor thing Sunday

10:58 am

rururocks

outdoor thing? it's freezing outside yuck

10:59 am

origami

It will be cold by our standards. I'll have to wear the puffy coat that makes me look like Burl Ives.

10:59 am

cybernan

don't talk about cold -- going down to -21C here tomorrow

11:00 am

MollyL

♪Silver and gold, silver and gold♪

11:00 am

bichon

65 here tomorrow

11:00 am

MollyL

I don't know how you Canadians stand that kind of weather. I would be miserable.

11:00 am

cybernan

that's downright balmy, bich

11:01 am

bichon

It's what you are acclimized to

11:01 am

cybernan

we bundle up when we have to go out but mostly stay indoors.

11:01 am

ursh

haha nan I was about to say 21C is not that bad - then noticed the minus -- eek

11:02 am

origami

I can't imagine minus degree

11:03 am

ursh

living in Africa anything less than -5 is unheard of

11:03 am

MollyL

I would have a hard time "acclimating" to constant freezing temperatures. That is not something I would find it easy to get used to.

11:04 am

rururocks

i've been in minus degree weather.. it's awful

11:04 am

cybernan

just as we cannot take what we consider to be the extreme heat that you get in summer, Molly

11:04 am

ursh

I live in Durban on the east coast which is tropical and we cry like babies when the temp goes below 18C

11:04 am

ursh

But then we are crying like babies with temps of 28 to 34C with high humidity right now

11:05 am

MollyL

I had a Canadian husband and he didn't miss the cold one bit. And he loved summers here.

11:05 am

cybernan

depends on whether you are talking fahrenheit or celcius, ru

11:05 am

cybernan

mind you, -21 is cold in whichever

11:05 am

rururocks

i was in winnepeg once and it was 60 below F

11:05 am

MollyL

I guess when you grow up freezing your ass off every winter, warm summers are a welcome relief.

11:06 am

rururocks

i got frostbite in my feet

11:06 am

rururocks

i'd love to freeze my ass off.. i have some ass to lose

11:06 am

cybernan

yes -- there is a reason we call it winterpeg

11:06 am

bichon

If you dont like your climate, just wait a few years

11:06 am

origami

Thanks, Molly. Now I can't stop humming "Silver and Gold." :D

11:07 am

ursh

hahaha ruru - in the same boat

11:08 am

ursh

there are definitely creatures living in my wardrobe who carefully sew all my clothes smaller each week

11:08 am

cybernan

I could be quite happy with a range of 68 - 75 F year round

11:09 am

rururocks

i'd be happy from 75-90 year round

11:09 am

cybernan

MollyL

Sometimes when people think they are making a fashion statement, it's really a disaster statement

Walmart is a great place for viewing women who think they look good in pants, who really don't.
