8:12 am

At this point, there are so many people wearing masks the right way, I don't see how you can do it wrong. I'm hoping he was at the pharmacy to buy the correct type masks anyway.

11:31 am

HarryHood

11:31 am

HarryHood

still missing two tiles though - one being that K - do I need khardashian to solve this grid?

11:31 am

72 Temple Owl

i think it's good to keep up. i mean, i'm in jeans and tees mostly, at least i can style my hair.

11:32 am

72 Temple Owl

restop - like the place we go for coffee on the turnpike.

11:36 am

hokie carla

will probably touch my hair up this week as well. but I had been doing it myself for a while. I did some purple early in the quarantine but it is almost completely gone.

11:37 am

72 Temple Owl

i guess that woyld be fun but for older folks i don;t like it. owner of my salon has black hair and touched it with purple. she has a classic short cut, it looks ok. but old people with pink is pretty weird to my eye.

11:38 am

72 Temple Owl

i do like the streaks, though. i've done a pink and a purple with chalk.

11:39 am

hokie carla

LOL, I have this one neighbor who is like the mayor here, knows everyone, talks to everyone. I have to pass his house on 95% of my walking routes and then end up there for 20 min talking.

11:39 am

HarryHood

got the other 8

11:39 am

hokie carla

anyhoo, he said whenever he sees older people with colors like that he thinks they have mental problems. I told him maybe I do.

11:39 am

72 Temple Owl

great, harry. if i looked i might even see it. although i did want rest stop.

11:40 am

72 Temple Owl

i am going back through my list to look for prospects.

11:40 am

HarryHood

11:43 am

hokie carla

FTR, I only have like 5 (okay, 10 now) gray hairs. my hair is brown, chemically enhanced to blonde. The purple looked great, just didn't last long at all.

11:43 am

HarryHood

stuck now. will bbl to list.

11:43 am

hokie carla

you can find more before you list, HH. really not that many weird ones. I bogged down around 24 but then came back to 5 that I had to list for.

11:43 am

moolingwa

I have grey in my beard, but none in my hair yet...though I'm kind of a dirty blonde, so tends to be later

11:44 am

moolingwa

11:44 am

moolingwa

11:45 am

hokie carla

my mom had dark hair and didn't get a lot of gray until late 50s early 60s, so I hope I inherited that

11:45 am

hokie carla

well done!

11:46 am

moolingwa

Yeah, I guess my dad is similar...not sure he's really got grey that much now and he's 71

11:46 am

hokie carla

my dad just turned 80 and he's like santa claus white now

11:46 am

moolingwa

tx hoke, have had a much higher completion rate lately

11:47 am

moolingwa

smaller boards help of course

11:48 am

hokie carla

11:50 am

hokie carla

so I clicked on "kh4" to see what it meant, and the dictionary came up with "no results found for Freimplepants" ???

12:47 pm

zoozzoom

I tried it and it just came up with no results found.

12:48 pm

zoozzoom

Although it means a plot of land (Indian)

12:49 pm

MollyL

kh4 (noun) 1. (in Thailand) a district or locality
2. Indian a plot of cultivated land

12:50 pm

MollyL

The dictionary here does not have definitions of all the weird words Enable allows. That is from the Collins dictionary.

12:50 pm

rastapopolous

I wonder why mine comes up with Freimplepants. Now I really want to know what freimplepants are lol

12:51 pm

zoozzoom

Sometimes google can be useful :-)

12:51 pm

hello TO! and hello friends

8:34 pm

any red dwarf fans?

8:44 pm

Minveryork

Hello Trifioso! How are you doing today? Welcome to grid

8:48 pm

Trifioso

hello min. Im good thanks, how are you?

8:51 pm

Trifioso

finally found an 8 whoo!

9:09 pm

Minveryork

Doing well Trifioso. Sorry if I dont respond right away.I'm also checking my e-mail which I have not checked in five days. I have a lot to catch up on. Do you need any clues?

9:41 pm

Nef

good evening. I hate it when I don't clear out myemails everyday, Min. I'm currently working on getting rid of 204 emails from the weekend & today.

9:45 pm

Minveryork

Hello Nef! How are you doing today? Welcome to the grid

9:46 pm

Minveryork

I have 3 different e-mail accounts, so my e-mails add up!

10:22 pm

Nef

Sorry, for the slow response, Min. I quit having so many email accounts when I retired 6 years ago. It makes some things easier, but too many emails on a daily basis either way.

10:24 pm

Minveryork

I am STILL going through my e-mail. I have 3 accounts for different audiences. Use my Yahoo acct whenever I order something online.All my junk mail gets sent to my Yahoo

10:25 pm

Minveryork

I use my gmail account for family and friends only.Do not get junk mail in my gmail.Finally,I have work e-mail acct

10:29 pm

Nef

I had gmail for work, comcast for junk mail, and my mac account for family & friends. I hated gmail because I have a mac & Ialways thought it was a clunky system but I guess that's because I'm on a mac? IDK.

10:29 pm

Nef

I finally gotrid of comcast cable & internet & life has been much easier since then. ;-)

10:43 pm

rururocks

<--- hates comcast

10:47 pm

Nef

We were stuck with it for many years because of the topography here; they had an office about a mile to the southeast of our house and every other direction was water or wetlands around us; so they had a monopoly on our little area of the Cities here.

10:47 pm

Minveryork

Hello rururocks! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

10:48 pm

Nef

And they didn't care if the squirrels chewed up our wires or our service was lousy; no one else wanted to run cable to this area.

10:49 pm

Minveryork

I did not like Comcast when I had them too ru. I also did not like dish network. I have Verizon Vios now which isn't too bad. Get cable through landlord so I have no choice.

11:19 pm

Nef

Thanks for your story, Min. Your clues helped me find a few words I'd missed

11:22 pm

Nef

emid

11:23 pm

Nef

Oops! sorry, not a word.

11:30 pm

Minveryork

That non-words reversed IS a word that is in the grid Nef

11:30 pm

Nef

I know; I found it from your hint! ;-)

11:33 pm

Minveryork

Oh yeah,I forgot I used the word in my story.By the way, that story was COMPLETELY made up! Most of them are.

11:40 pm

Nef

I know, you've told us that before. At one point I was concerned about you because your story was so sad.

11:41 pm

Minveryork

Holey Moley!I just realized it is almost flip time. I better find my last two. I hope monkeys' brain are awake now.

11:43 pm

Minveryork

My life has been sad before,but I am doing well now Nef

11:43 pm

Nef

I have 52 words left yet. *Someday* I will get here before 10 PM and finish grids earlier.

11:44 pm

Nef

divorce final & ex all gone now?

11:44 pm

Nef

and your house sold at a good price too?

11:44 pm

Minveryork

Divorce is final and ex is MOSTLY gone. Still bothers me.

11:45 pm

Nef

Sorry that that's still a headache for you.

11:48 pm

Minveryork

Honestly,just feel bad for him because he can't move on

11:48 pm

Nef

I hope you aren't caring for him any more.

11:50 pm

Minveryork

I don't care for him, but I do care about him.I'm not sure what the difference is, but there is one. I do not care to be with him, but I do want him to move on & be happy.

11:50 pm

Minveryork

I am finished! I have fireworks! de7/40 was my last word

11:51 pm

Nef

YAY, MIN!!! WTG!!!

11:52 pm

Nef

Min, I meant more of the physical (nursing-type) of caring for him. Being concerned about someone you lived with is probably very natural after any lengthof time

11:53 pm

Minveryork

Any guesses for the next grid size? My guess is 893 words

11:53 pm

Nef

258 words (I hope)

11:54 pm

Minveryork

Well,I am still taking care of him with alimony payments

11:54 pm

Minveryork

There is nothing I can do for him physically. He is obese!

11:55 pm

Minveryork

I am surprised he has not ended up in the hospital again.

11:55 pm

Nef

OMG, Min! I mis-read what you wrote & thought you said 393 words! If the grid had over 800 words, I'd be scared silly at evenopening it!

11:56 pm

Nef

why do you have to pay alimony?

11:56 pm

Minveryork

Ex-husband chose his lifestyle. He will have to live with the choices he has made. I cannot do anything about it.

11:57 pm

Nef

I know; but by you having to pay alimony he doesn't *have* to change, does he?

11:57 pm

Minveryork

I pay alimony because I was the "monied spouse" when I filed for divorce. He had no income, whatsoever. I also have to give him half my savings and half my pension.

11:58 pm

Minveryork

Have already paid 2 years of alimony.This is my last year

11:58 pm

Nef

oh, Pooh! That's awful.

12:00 am

Minveryork

NY is a 50/50 state so everything gets split 50/50,assets and debt. Unfortunately, he get half my assets and I got half of his debt which totally sucks for me, but oh well
