10:43 am

rururocks

and hopefully will tide them over

10:44 am

KnightTime

obviously you are not board

10:44 am

rururocks

I'm sure several will take that clue littorally

10:44 am

hokie carla

just came back to wave - hi!

10:44 am

hurshy

i'm finding this grid fairly smooth sailing

10:45 am

10:49 am

cybernan

10:50 am

MollyL

10:50 am

hurshy

10:50 am

Trifioso

10:51 am

cybernan

I am so far behind here -- got down to 40 last night before crashing and now I have to try and remember what I've already entered

10:51 am

rururocks

10:53 am

10:56 am

MollyL

A swishy way of walking

10:56 am

MollyL

Well then you don't need that one

10:56 am

hurshy

no sorry i should have specified :(

10:57 am

hurshy

aHA i monkeyed it

10:57 am

MollyL

The other one is like the children's book elephant (not Horton)

10:57 am

rururocks

begin with previous and repeat exactly

10:57 am

hurshy

thanks :)

10:57 am

MollyL

Clearly, Hurshy needs no clues today

10:58 am

hurshy

i suppose not, for that was my last word

10:58 am

rururocks

it's a super easy grid today really

11:01 am

cybernan

ty for the s clues - 3 that I hadn't found

11:02 am

Trifioso

I am about to have flying printer syndrome here. My printer printed one document, and is now refusing to print the next one. Has paper, ink, electricity...just WILL NOT PRINT

11:05 am

cybernan

unplug it for 10 seconds, then reconnect -- make sure you clear the queue or you could suddenly have a few more copies than you want

11:06 am

cybernan

(been there done that, in case you hadn't guessed)

11:07 am

MollyL

Good suggestion Nan. Unless it's an HP printer. Then, sending it out the window is the best option.

11:09 am

cybernan

yeah - I have an hp printer - next one will be a different brand

11:10 am

bichon

I had a Brother. Awful. Now I like my Epson

11:12 am

Trifioso

tried that too. This is a new printer and I am sorry I ever bought it. complete POS

11:12 am

cybernan

yes - I had an epson before this one - only bought the hp because it was on sale and I don't print a lot of stuff

11:12 am

hurshy

i've got a brother too and it has served me well. maybe it depends on the model

11:13 am

cybernan

I use the scanner a lot more than I do the printer

11:14 am

Trifioso

This is a HP Envy - and now I Envy everyone who didn't buy it

11:14 am

cybernan

how long have you had it? can you take it back?

11:14 am

Trifioso

every system check says ready, ready, ready....so where is my document?

11:16 am

cybernan

did you try unplugging it, trif?

11:16 am

Trifioso

ooooh, maybe!

11:16 am

Trifioso

yes. twice

11:18 am

MollyL

A tech guy would tell you to make sure that printer is set as a default. If it is then uninstall and reinstall the printer.

11:19 am

hurshy

and what's the difference between a tech guy telling her that and you telling her that?

11:19 am

hurshy

lol

11:31 am

cybernan

*!*~*!* hagd eveyone -- stay safe

11:42 am

hokie carla

pretty sure a tech guy would just say to reboot :D

11:50 am

KnightTime

i am a tech guy - molly's suggestion is where I would start. Deinstall the printer and reinstall.

11:51 am

KnightTime

If that doesn't work - buy an Epson

11:51 am

moolingwa

12:12 pm

Bethjt

Any one living on the Texas/Louisiana coast? I just came in from clearing all my potted plants and lawn furniture out of my yard.

12:16 pm

marksdolly

I was just reading that it was a cat 4

12:16 pm

marksdolly

feta

12:17 pm

Bethjt

Yes, thats what is being forecast. I'm hoping that the storm stays east and comes ashore in more rural areas.

12:17 pm

Bethjt

I'm in Houston.

12:17 pm

marksdolly

I will be praying for that area Beth

12:18 pm

Bethjt

Thanks

12:19 pm

marksdolly

how close is it to landfall? do they know yet?

12:20 pm

Bethjt

Landfall is forecast for late tonight of early Thursday. I'm thinking of moving out of the hurricane prone gulf coast. This is getting really.

12:20 pm

Bethjt

Or early thursday

12:20 pm

marksdolly

and that area seems to be an alleyway for the hurricanes

12:21 pm

marksdolly

ossa

12:21 pm

Bethjt

Its the whole Gulf Coast. We just get socked every couple of years.

12:21 pm

marksdolly

but when it does hit, you guys get walloped

12:25 pm

Bethjt

Although climate change is just causing a lot of big bad storms and wildfires.

12:25 pm

moolingwa

bien hoke

12:25 pm

Bethjt

I'm not where I could go to away from it all.

12:26 pm

Bethjt

I'm really hating autocorrect today. Even when I fix something, autocorrect changes it back to something weird.

12:34 pm

MollyL

You can turn auto correct off

1:26 pm

HarryHood

19 and very stuck.

1:32 pm

HarryHood

1:32 pm

periwinkle

hi all. help with either sa6 pls

1:32 pm

MollyL

Ru said this grid was "super easy". But he is kind of genius level when it comes to this game.

1:33 pm

HarryHood

I have one sa6. a sexy woman's way of walking

1:33 pm

MollyL

One is a swishy way of walking. The other sounds like the children's book elephant who wears a crown (not horton)

1:35 pm

periwinkle

I know the elephant you mean. just don't see the word

1:35 pm

periwinkle

got the sexy walking ty

1:35 pm

periwinkle

4

1:35 pm

periwinkle

nm found it ty Molly

2:12 pm

hokie carla

Molly, I said ru was upper tier here before and he disagreed with me! This grid was not easy. There were quite a few words I did not know of or had forgotten I’d ever seen them before.

2:14 pm

Aussieme

Hi, All. Please could you clue me for the first SA6?

2:14 pm

hokie carla

Also, the elephant doesn’t have a rhyming first syllable if I’m thinking of the right one (starts with B). Just don’t want anyone getting confused. Makes me think of the sauce you put on fish.

2:15 pm

hokie carla

Aussieme, my last sentence is referring to the sa6

2:16 pm

Aussieme

Ah, ty carla, got it.

2:16 pm

hokie carla

Good! Wasn’t sure if that was a thing in Aus or not

2:17 pm

Aussieme

I'm in the UK Carla :) and yes, the fish sauce is definitely a thing

2:17 pm

hokie carla

LOL, sorry

2:18 pm

Aussieme

It's ok. Aussie born, but live in the UK

2:18 pm

hokie carla

Doesn’t the aussie flag have a union jack in it too?

2:18 pm

Aussieme

It does

2:35 pm

moolingwa

as does New Zealand, Fiji and Tuvalu

2:35 pm

moolingwa

And Hawaii for that matter

2:36 pm

Aussieme

Hey, mool

2:37 pm

moolingwa

hey aus

2:37 pm

moolingwa

NZ did hold a referendum a couple of years ago, but it didn't pass, lot of support to change the flag, but not enough to pass it

2:38 pm

hokie carla

Someone has fun with flags

2:38 pm

moolingwa

There's been talk over the years in Australia too...going back at least to the 1990s when PM Paul Keating suggested it

2:38 pm

moolingwa

Not me, can't stand them :)

2:38 pm

hokie carla

You didn’t mention that with birds and hockey

2:39 pm

moolingwa

well geography in general is an interest

2:39 pm

zoozzoom

Love the big bang theory.

2:39 pm

hokie carla

Us too, zooz! I know a lot of people who don’t but we find it hilarious.

2:41 pm

zoozzoom

Sadly no new ones though to be fair it did run its course.

2:43 pm

hokie carla

Yes, and we thought Young Sheldon would be horrible but we love that too.

2:44 pm

zoozzoom

Yes I have watched all thos as well haha!

2:44 pm

Aussieme

Hey zooz, long time no see

2:44 pm

zoozzoom

I also loved Modern Family and that has come to an end also.

2:45 pm

zoozzoom

Hello, Aussieme. I hope you are keeping well?

2:45 pm

Aussieme

Not too badly thanks, how are you keeping?

2:46 pm

zoozzoom

Yeah as well as can be expected lol Plodding along is as good as it gets at the moment haha!

2:47 pm

Aussieme

Bless ya.

2:47 pm

zoozzoom

And my last words were TA 5& 6. Happy babbling everyone!

2:49 pm

moolingwa

still 5 left for me

2:49 pm

Aussieme

Toodles zooz

2:49 pm

Aussieme

51 left for me yet. But not been in the grid long really.

3:16 pm

hokie carla

moo, I had to list at 22 left, but ru declared it easy

3:42 pm

MollyL

Carla, I didn't mean it was exactly like the elephant, just similar to. I apologize if I confused anyone. Sometimes clues are just to send you in the general direction of a word.

4:15 pm

dan2bit

got to 100. 4 F

4:15 pm

dan2bit

4:52 pm

KnightTime

4:54 pm

moolingwa
