Donald Trump on the Tiananmen Square massacre in 1990, the year after it happened:“When the students poured into Tiananmen Square, the Chinese government almost blew it,” Donald Trump said.

“Then they were vicious, they were horrible, but they put it down with strength. That shows you the power of strength. Our country is right now perceived as weak … as being spit on by the rest of the world,” the future president continued.

One word then enter, Harry

7:29 am

7:30 am

MollyL

It used to take longer on discussion boards

7:30 am

periwinkle

LOL Bea

7:30 am

BzznBea

Molly, I finally decided to get carry out last night.

7:31 am

periwinkle

good for you Bea, what did you order

7:31 am

MollyL

Yay Bea! What did you get?

7:31 am

BzznBea

What a disaster! I ended up fixing a late dinner of biscuits, sausage gravy and fried potatoes.

7:32 am

MollyL

Oh my God, biscuits, sausage gravy and fried potatoes is my idea of a heavenly meal. What happened with the take out?

7:32 am

periwinkle

oh no

7:32 am

BzznBea

The place we were trying to order from was so busy you couldn't get them on the phone. The drive through line was so long and they were closing at 7pm due to the curfew.

7:33 am

BzznBea

Aw, well...Today is a new day.

7:33 am

MollyL

Curfew because of protests?

7:33 am

BzznBea

Yes.

7:34 am

MollyL

You know, I am all for the cause, but curfew on top of quarantine seems a bit excessive.

7:34 am

BzznBea

Crazy time, for sure.

7:34 am

7:35 am

MollyL

I'm thinking about picking something up on my way home. I hate cooking on Friday nights.

7:35 am

BzznBea

We usually do a grilled hamburger and fries on Friday nights.

7:36 am

MollyL

It is too humid to grill out. I'm tired of sweating.

7:36 am

HarryHood

I will be spending most of today searching for the word pariah in this grid.

7:37 am

BzznBea

But tonight, I'm going to fix a Chinese veggie stir fry over noodles.

7:37 am

BzznBea

There is a lot of poo in the grid today.

7:37 am

HarryHood

sounds delicious. I'm buying chinese for tonight. I can't bear to cook in this crazy humidity

7:37 am

MollyL

I was going to do something Chinese, but did not get some of the ingredients I need in my grocery delivery order.

7:39 am

HarryHood

I've run out of cumin seeds and can't find them anywhere

7:39 am

MollyL

I had a hell of a time finding cumin for a while. I ended up ordering a huge container of it from Amazon.

7:39 am

BzznBea

Isn't it funny what you can't find?

7:40 am

HarryHood

I finally found ground cumin yesterday. but no seeds. I need them for my alu gobi

7:40 am

HarryHood

I substituted curry for cumin in refried beans last week - not a success.

7:43 am

BzznBea

I've never heard of it, Harry. But, I don't do much Indian either. That looks like a recipe we would enjoy.

7:43 am

HarryHood

it's so good

7:44 am

MollyL

My friend said she doesn't know why there is a run on yeast when everyone is so "trendily" gluten free these days.

7:44 am

BzznBea

LOL! She does have a point.

7:44 am

hokie carla

Still need yeast in gluten free bread!

7:44 am

BzznBea

There is the GF Goddess!

7:45 am

HarryHood

there was a funny meme the other day...

7:45 am

HarryHood

something about "who knew - when men lose access to sports, they bake. I would not have expected that"

7:45 am

MollyL

Apparently there is a problem with cumin crops, thus the shortage

7:46 am

Judi

Good morning, all.

7:46 am

hokie carla

Just found ar7 - fitting for this game

7:46 am

HarryHood

really! I didn't even know cumin was a plant.

7:46 am

Deeha

its finally raining. First time for weeks. I can almost hear my garden sucking it up!!

7:46 am

MollyL

How do you think you get those seeds, Harry?

7:47 am

BzznBea

Most spices are plants, Harry. LOL!

7:47 am

HarryHood

yes well...

7:47 am

HarryHood

there's no curry plant. or paprika plant.

7:47 am

hokie carla

19 left before coffee. BBL

7:47 am

HarryHood

or garam masala plant

7:47 am

MollyL

Nothing happens in my house BEFORE coffee
: D

7:47 am

HarryHood

can I plant cumin?

7:48 am

Deeha

you can buy curry leaves?!

7:48 am

HarryHood

huh - it looks like queen anne's lace!

7:49 am

HarryHood

I think curry is a combination of spices

7:49 am

MollyL

Looks like you can Harry, if you follow certain guidelines. It likes a long, hot growing season.

7:50 am

HarryHood

project for next year.

7:50 am

HarryHood

please remind me in april.

7:50 am

MollyL

Lots of curry leaves available on line

7:50 am

Deeha

true Harry but you can buy dried curry leaves. I have some!!

7:51 am

BzznBea

Probably need to start getting the seed for planting in Feb, Harry.

7:51 am

HarryHood

oh - there is a curry tree!

7:51 am

HarryHood

I did not know that

7:51 am

HarryHood

it looks like the aelanthus - evil tree of heaven

7:52 am

MollyL

Pay heed to the Master Gardener

7:52 am

HarryHood

not getting that ar7

7:53 am

Judi

"Evil tree of heaven" sounds very contradictory.

7:53 am

BzznBea

Old and out dated, harry

7:53 am

HarryHood

ty bea :)

7:53 am

Deeha

archeic

7:54 am

This grid is miserable. Off to pursue other snipe. See y'all tomorrow!

8:05 am

MollyL

Why does no one ever wash down?
: D

8:06 am

BzznBea

I do. Wash down the stove, the countertops...

8:07 am

hokie carla

8:11 am

BzznBea

8:23 am

jmcnrick

hi all

8:24 am

BzznBea

Hi, jm.

8:30 am

jmcnrick

I had a curry plant once. I didn't find it as good as curry made from a group of spices.

8:31 am

jmcnrick

yeah I won't get very far in this grid

8:37 am

MollyL

I can't remember the last time I saw a grid with only five vowels

8:37 am

hokie carla

put an ant trap here the other day and still have the random ant crawl across my desk :<

8:38 am

BzznBea

Is it a Terro?

8:38 am

MLFAN17

that's not fun hokie

8:38 am

jmcnrick

cinnamon deters ants. I use to circle my cat's food bowl with it every spring/summer

8:39 am

hokie carla

yes, terro

8:39 am

jmcnrick

it alwasy took her a few days to get past the cinnamon smell next tto her food

8:39 am

hokie carla

may put another one in another spot. have to hide them behind furniture though so my dog doesn't get them

8:39 am

MollyL

I used to line my kitchen windows with cinnamon sticks when we had an ant problem

8:40 am

hokie carla

I'm low on cinnamon right now

8:40 am

MLFAN17

we have the little ants too hubby sprays by the front door but we have an area where the crown molding is missing and he doesn't spray there. I thin if he did, the spray may come in the house

8:40 am

hokie carla

who knows if that's available at the stores

8:40 am

hokie carla

that's probably where the ants come in the house, mlfan

8:40 am

jmcnrick

just don't use cinnamon sugar! hahaha

8:41 am

hokie carla

that does seem counterproductive ;)

8:42 am

MLFAN17

my husband says that ants get attracted by cinnamon rolls(I think he was kidding) as we have cinnamon rolls before and no ants at the time

8:42 am

MLFAN17

i love cinnamon sugar

8:43 am

jmcnrick

me too. when we were kids we put it on our pancakes instead of syrup

8:43 am

MLFAN17

oh jmc i did too . if you like bananas, cinnamon is great on that too cinnamon/sugar

8:43 am

hokie carla

we always called the little ones "sugar ants" because they are attracted to sugar. but I don't really have any here in this room, they just come in this window next to my desk.

8:44 am

MLFAN17

and on pancakes

8:44 am

jmcnrick

whosh sugar on bananas sounds too sweet for me!

8:44 am

BzznBea

I know this sounds weird, but we loved it. My aunt would give us a shaker of powdered jello. We would put it on toast like cinnamon sugar.

8:44 am

MLFAN17

hokie do you have anything you can spray on the ground outside ?

8:45 am

jmcnrick

oh on pancakes. . .that is possible

8:45 am

jmcnrick

powered jello is mainly sugar so that makes sense and you get all the pretty colors

8:45 am

MLFAN17

cinnamon sugar on pancakes yum

8:45 am

BzznBea

And bananas rolled in powdered jello.

8:46 am

hokie carla

interesting, bea. my SIL taught me frozen grapes - you wash grapes, put them in a ziploc with a box of grape jello and shake, then freeze, and they are delicious

8:46 am

MLFAN17

powdered jello on toast so much better then jelly or jam lol

8:47 am

BzznBea

Yes, we do the frozen grapes without the jello. Will try the jello on them next time.

8:47 am

hokie carla

ok, gotta get ready for a mt. bike ride. 17 left for later. I foresee the list in my future.

8:48 am

jmcnrick

have a nice ride hokie

8:48 am

MollyL

I love jam on toast. Especially home made jam.

8:48 am

jmcnrick

orange marmalade on toast for me

8:49 am

BzznBea

Yes, my peach and blueberry jams are yummy on toast.

8:49 am

jmcnrick

or ginger marmalade

8:49 am

BzznBea

We also like pepper jelly on toast with bacon or sausage. That is good.

8:49 am

jmcnrick

but right now my go to sweet is a little ginger syrup in plain yoghurt

8:49 am

jmcnrick

oh bzzn jalepeno?

8:49 am

MollyL

Ooo, pepper jelly and cream cheese, I love that.

8:50 am

MLFAN17

jmc greek yogurt or regular yogurt?

8:50 am

jmcnrick

dang you are making me hungry

8:50 am

MollyL

*Stares at crackers on desk, wishes she had pepper jelly

8:50 am

MLFAN17

i have never had pepper jelly

8:50 am

BzznBea

Yes, a little bit of jalepeno. Mostly colored bell peppers. Just enough spicy peppers to give it a kick at the end.

8:51 am

jmcnrick

I prefer greek but not important as long as it is plain and not vanilla

8:51 am

jmcnrick

oh it is wonderful if you like spicy MLF

8:51 am

MLFAN17

i like spicy but not too spicy

8:52 am

jmcnrick

I only buy plain yoghurt so that I can control the sweet. . . if any. Like it fine without sweet

8:52 am

pcal2

Good morning all, and help plz. Clue for 2nd re 5/12 plz and I too love pepper jelly and cream cheese...on a bagel. Yum!

8:53 am

jmcnrick

well there are varying degrees of spicy with pepper jelly just like with most things spicy and you can mix it with another jelly like tomato jelly

8:53 am

MLFAN17

greek plain yogurt though sour i still love it

8:54 am

MLFAN17

never had tomato jelly,, i am not one for regular tomatoes so doesn't sound good to me

8:54 am

penquis

8:56 am

pcal2

8:56 am

BzznBea

No one at the library to call or email...

8:57 am

jmcnrick

MLF there are other options. . .cucumber jelly is very refreshing if not made too sweet

8:57 am

BzznBea

Third re/12 is same as second with different vowel at end

8:57 am

penquis

there are three RE 12 words....two are almost the same....

8:58 am

pcal2

8:58 am

jmcnrick

bzzn give it a try with the call/email. A lot places that are closed still are staffing customer service

8:58 am

penquis

8:58 am

doseffing

mattygroves

Aaaaah - nm!

10:01 am

MollyL

They often handle a lot of paper money, hence the term

10:01 am

mattygroves

Once I read further and realised that it was the S that was missing, it all became clear :)

There is probably some cutesy UK term for register I don't know? County Machine?

10:03 am

mattygroves

Haaahaa!

10:04 am

mattygroves

Aaah - the till. You pay at the till

10:04 am

moolingwa

morning all

10:04 am

MollyL

Some people here use that term too.

10:06 am

MollyL

Although, we prefer stills.

10:06 am

mattygroves

:D

10:07 am

mattygroves

I shall get a beer shortly. It's the thing I look forward to a bit too much, I think, at the moment. Jeff played golf today (despite the wind and intermittent rain) - I've been in at the computer all day, mostly working

10:07 am

MollyL

Cheers Matty.

10:08 am

mattygroves

Slante!

10:09 am

MollyL

Nothing says YAY better than a cold beer at the end of a long day.

10:09 am

rururocks

takes the edge off working all day I think

10:09 am

rururocks

although I don't drink beer

10:09 am

moolingwa

I'm looking forward to one or two this evening for sure

10:09 am

mattygroves

Yeah - something to look forward to and to take the edge off things

10:10 am

mattygroves

What's your tipple of choice, Ru?

10:10 am

rururocks

but i get the process :D

10:10 am

rururocks

Usually a glass of wine Matty, but i've been off wine for a month (dieting)

10:10 am

moolingwa

Well you're in a good spot for wine mr rocks

10:11 am

rururocks

funny how it worked out that way mool :D

10:11 am

mattygroves

I do like wine. too. And gin. I'm an equal opportunity imbiber

10:12 am

moolingwa

total coincidence I'm sure

10:12 am

rururocks

in hard alcohol i like scotch, bourbon, and gin in that order Gin in the summer

10:12 am

moolingwa

it's not a bad beer area for that matter either

10:12 am

rururocks

no we have great breweries here for sure

10:13 am

rururocks

mad fritz, russian River Brewing co.. etc

10:13 am

rururocks

it is a good area for food and drink for sure

10:13 am

moolingwa

10:13 am

10:15 am

MollyL

Notice how Hursh can always bring the conversation back to cats? : D

10:16 am

hurshy

it's pretty easy to do lol

10:16 am

moolingwa

How many cats you have hursh?

10:17 am

MollyL

Unfortunate for Ru, as the subject of cats is verboten for him now. : D

10:17 am

hurshy

10:17 am

moolingwa

cool, me too

10:17 am

hurshy

fritz wreaked some havoc last night

10:17 am

rururocks

(lips are zipped)

10:17 am

moolingwa

oh yeah?

10:18 am

mattygroves

I was just about to look up the nursery rhyme/song about little cats, but realised I really didn't want to do that on my work computer ;) Now someone will ask me what I mean, but I can't look it up!

10:18 am

hurshy

yeah, knocked over a glass candle and the edge broke and there were little pieces of glass on the floor

10:19 am

moolingwa

ah, yes...

10:19 am

hurshy

also knocked over my water bottle but that didn't do any actual damage

10:19 am

moolingwa

I once left my laptop on the sofa, came out next morning to find a vase laying on it with flowers strewn on the floor

10:19 am

hurshy

fun times

10:20 am

moolingwa

my cats like to open the cupboards and draws and go exploring in the night

10:20 am

hurshy

now he's pestering Opie by batting his tail when he was trying to sleep

10:20 am

rururocks

(zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz\nzzzzzzz)

10:20 am

moolingwa

heh

10:20 am

mattygroves

May I have a nudge please....on the ho6/21?

10:20 am

moolingwa

I think our dog thinks it's a cat

10:21 am

moolingwa

perhaps someone who deals with ropes matty

10:21 am

rururocks

a person who lifts a beer matty :D

10:21 am

hurshy

the funniest thing fritz does is chase his tail, but ONLY in the bathtub and ONLY if he doesn't think you're watching. if he sees you peek in he will stop.

10:21 am

mattygroves

Is that not the 7?

10:21 am

moolingwa

oh sorry

10:22 am

rururocks

look at my clue matty

10:22 am

MollyL

You know it would be bad if you
posted about.....wreaking havoc
Ru. And thanks for blowing the
chat width.

10:22 am

moolingwa

the 6 is someone who sells/makes stockings and socks

10:22 am

rururocks

mattygroves

A person who lifts a beer....me! Ah, thanks mool

10:23 am

hurshy

and don't forget to lop the H off that for another word

10:23 am

rururocks

or a guy who is well endowed is ho6

10:27 am

10:38 am

hurshy

an odd spelling for a benign mass one might have in one's body

10:39 am

hurshy

what you do when you need to refer to another book in your writing, and the person who does so

10:39 am

jmcnrick

haha I would have to know french. but i got the mass ty

10:46 am

mattygroves

It's ar8

10:46 am

mattygroves

It's trickier, in my opinion than the ra8

10:47 am

hurshy

well that would be why i found the less tricky one first

10:47 am

mattygroves

ar8/50

10:47 am

hello everyone..I have a cat story. On Feb 29th we had one black male cat Onyx our granddaughter couldn't keep. We now have 7 cats. On Mar1st we took in a skinny little tabby boy and on March 2nd a grey female not much bigger. On April 30 the grey gave birth to 4 kittens. We figure she must have been expecting when she came to our back door.

10:48 am

mattygroves

Hurrah!

10:48 am

mattygroves

Right, I'm off now. Have a great day all!

10:48 am

hurshy

wow cool west

10:50 am

westford

We think we might have homes for 3 of the 4 kittens who are darling btw but all our shelters are shut down. Margaret, the mother and Owen the tabby will be fixed as soon as the vet opens but OMG 7 cats

10:50 am

hydra

Sounds as if you're a cat magnet, west! Well done. Our cats have always been strays who rocked up to the door one day and never left. It shows they really want to be with you.

10:51 am

jmcnrick

pregnant cats always seek a house to be taken in, in my experience

10:51 am

westford

We certainly are cat magnets. One night a raccoon even showed up at the door. The word must have gotten around.

10:52 am

jmcnrick

that is how I got several of my cats. Mama came, gave birth, and then hit the road.

10:52 am

jmcnrick

liking a word and wanting to travel to exotic places are two very different things lol

when you think of hurshy, think of cats and then think scaredy-cat

12:40 pm

cybernan

It saddens me to think that our long distance travel days are over. I had hoped for another trip to Europe this spring, but covid-19 has put the kibosh on that and possiblly for next year as well. Still hoping for a Panama cruise in the future though -- maybe iin 2021 or 22 if we are still able.

12:40 pm

jmcnrick

haha hursh!

12:43 pm

Atalante

I'd rather be in nepal than the US

hurshy

at least i can puzzle out some word parts if i know the alphabet

12:45 pm

jmcnrick

I would like to go to Nepal and back to Scotland and to Ireland. . . and anywhere I have never been before including Kansas!

12:45 pm

cybernan

I can understand that, hurshy -- it's why the hesitated to take the czech rapid transit on our own -- by the time we figured out where we were, the station had gone by

12:45 pm

Atalante

ditto the anywhere I havent been before

12:46 pm

JaxH66

Strange, I am finding that many of these words have different endings.

1:33 pm

harpjane

We have a trip planned to Chile and Argentina in December. I'm half hoping we can pull it off, and half hoping it gets cancelled so that we don't have to decide....

1:41 pm

Does the ar7 start off with the ar4 before it?

3:32 pm

Lizsark

could anyone clue the ar8 please

3:32 pm

Marc Freeman

It is probably the pl of the ar7 before it.

3:32 pm

Lizsark

I dont have that lol

3:33 pm

ChampFit

It's not. Gimme a sec...

3:34 pm

Lizsark

Nm I got it thanks Champ

3:35 pm

Marc Freeman

I didn't any clues?

3:35 pm

ChampFit

starts from the first column A....uses the ar4/6, add a vowel and the ending that means "one who does or is"

3:35 pm

ChampFit

I know...sucky clue...sorry!

3:36 pm

Lizsark

the ar7 means very old Marc

3:38 pm

Marc Freeman

got them both thanks

3:52 pm

MollyL

Champ, are you still here? Why don't real estate listings include number of bedrooms anymore?

3:56 pm

ChampFit

They do! What website are you using?

3:57 pm

MollyL

Maybe it is a thing in my area.

3:58 pm

MollyL

I looked up my parents old house, and there were no bedroom listings. And none for any of the houses in the area.

3:59 pm

ChampFit

If you're looking up past sales on Zillow or anything other than your local listing site, you'll get erroneous information. Your main MLS will have current info. If you need something, just let me know and I'll pull it for you. Happy to help.

4:00 pm

ChampFit

Sadly, though everyone loves Zillow...their info isn't kept current.

4:01 pm

ChampFit

And is usually inaccurate.

4:04 pm

MollyL

That is funny. When I was looking around the internet for the answer I saw an article called "Why Real Estate agents hate Zillow". Thanks for the offer to help. It's no big deal. I was just curious at the amount of residents listed in some of the houses, most of which are only 4 bedrooms. 16 people in a 4 bedroom house??

4:24 pm

ChampFit

DON'T GET ME STARTED. ,I had a seller yell at me for including their refrigerator (not included in Texas), because Zillow had it included. ERRONEOUSLY.

4:24 pm

ChampFit

User friendly doesn't mean "accurate".

4:24 pm

ChampFit

I could go on, but won't clog the chog with that nonsense.

4:31 pm

MollyL

Well, I appreciate any tips you can offer, even though I am many dollars away from being a buyer.

4:33 pm

argh, another "little" grid -- diving in

8:13 pm

lynxxx

I can't believe the things that come out of the US Presidents mouth - just shameful

8:14 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

OMG what did he say now?

8:16 pm

lynxxx

Just saw the news clip - hang on find it

8:17 pm

lynxxx

In the middle of a news conference on improving jobs numbers Friday, President Donald Trump said George Floyd was "hopefully looking down and feeling good."

"Hopefully George is looking down right now and saying, 'this is a great thing that's happening for our country.' This is a great day for him. It's a great day for everybody. This is a great day for everybody.

8:18 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

totally speechless -- i will not go on a rant out of respect for the fact that the focus of this chat is the game, not the stupendoulsy racist idiot in the white house

8:18 pm

SamanthaJoy

I had a feeling that was the quote.

8:18 pm

lynxxx

I honestly think sometimes he is just stupid - maybe he just thinks the people who vote for him are stupid and gullible. Probably why he repeats things 3 times !

8:18 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

(and thanks for sharing)

8:18 pm

SamanthaJoy

Even shock me

8:18 pm

SamanthaJoy

Sadly, it didn't even shock me

8:19 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

not stupid, he's a malnar (malicious narcissist) -- he believes he is god, more or less

8:19 pm

lynxxx

Sorry - perhaps shouldn't have brought it up here but I was just so shocked.

8:19 pm

SamanthaJoy

Oh, he is stupid. Not just that he doesn't know things, but that he's an immensely stupid, incurious individual

8:21 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

yeah, i didn't mean he was smart, i meant that when he says crap like this it's because he's a malnar

8:22 pm

SamanthaJoy

Yes. He is a host of ugly characteristics.

8:23 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

he repeats everything three times because that is a good technique to convince people you're not lying -- because he knows he's lying

8:23 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

oops, i said a word in the grid, going to the penalty box

8:25 pm

SamanthaJoy

I have 8 words left. They're from six squares, five letters. They're all fours and fives. And I'm trying to decide whether to keep going or to throw in the towel.

8:26 pm

lynxxx

I'm finding this little one toughish

8:26 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

perhaps one of us can clue ya

8:28 pm

SamanthaJoy

I haven't listed so I don't know what I'm missing

8:29 pm

harpjane

what are the 8's please?

8:29 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i just listed and it's not helping me much LOL

8:30 pm

SamanthaJoy

AR 8/50, RA 8/50

8:33 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

got the ra8

8:34 pm

SamanthaJoy

Woot!

8:35 pm

SamanthaJoy

The AR is weird. There's also a seven associated with it, but it's not a plural.

8:36 pm

SamanthaJoy

OFFS how can I have had the ho7 but not the ho5 it's based on?

8:41 pm

lynxxx

that middle C has got a lot to answer for IMHO

8:42 pm

SamanthaJoy

Down to one. How can I not find a four letter word? Four letter words are most of my vocabulary!

8:44 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

go go go samantha !!!

8:46 pm

SamanthaJoy

Oh for fucks sake. I've just spent ten minutes chasing down a phantom.

8:46 pm

lynxxx

8:46 pm

lynxxx

Congrats Sam!!

8:47 pm

SamanthaJoy

I *have* eleven R words, but the stats only recognize ten of them. Let's see if a reload helps.

8:47 pm

lynxxx

Bye everyone

8:47 pm

SamanthaJoy

Bye lynxxx

8:48 pm

SamanthaJoy

Aaaand a reload is no help. Oh well, I'm done here.

8:53 pm

Book Doctor Gwen
