Firewords, so the ts7 isn't acceptable then!!!!

4:37 am

MollyL

Yeah, Lickety has a ts7 which I am assuming is tsatske which the grid won't take. It is a variation of tchotchke which is a trinket.

5:14 am

7:32 am

BzznBea

The last part of the word sounds like what you might put in your cap.

7:32 am

BzznBea

en8 - to be restrained

7:32 am

mattygroves

Head. I'd put a head in my cap. Though ideally whilst the head is still attached to the rest of my body ;)

7:55 am

hokie carla

aw, that's nice of her

7:56 am

BzznBea

Got it, just wondering if there was another ha8

10:41 am

hokie carla

not at any school cafeteria I've ever been in

10:42 am

periwinkle

not at any I have seen either, just wondering

10:42 am

hokie carla

but knowing enable, lunchmen is probably a word

10:43 am

hokie carla

ah, forgot the basil sauce!

10:44 am

hokie carla

and pl. p's pulverized!

10:44 am

JaxH66

hokie carla

nope, just the one

10:45 am

periwinkle

10:46 am

hokie carla

yes, I believe jax was saying she tried lunchmen and was told it's not in the dictionary

10:46 am

JaxH66

10:46 am

10:55 am

marksdolly

I still need 7 of those c's

10:55 am

JaxH66

I’m struggling with the en8. All I can think of is shackles

10:56 am

hokie carla

if someone is unfe6-ed, the are unrestrained

10:56 am

hokie carla

so I guess to restrain them you would en8 them

10:56 am

marksdolly

wow! ty hokie!

10:56 am

JaxH66

Thanks. Had the shorter word

10:57 am

JaxH66

Would never have tried that without help

10:57 am

hokie carla

sorry to those who don't like, I gave half the letters...

10:57 am

hokie carla

me either, but it has been the most talked about word since I got here

10:59 am

marksdolly

def a new word to me, I had the 6, but wouldn't have thought to put that together as a word

10:59 am

Uneaixoise

Tx for the en8!

11:00 am

hokie carla

np

11:00 am

hokie carla

I think en prefix is also arbitrary. you could put it on a lot of words, but just have to guess which ones are "real"

11:02 am

marksdolly

true

11:03 am

Biltong

Hi all. May I have a clue for the no8/9, please?

I have the six and there is a seven before it

3:54 pm

I just checked lickety.....no ts 7....

3:54 pm

NANCY

oh that must be the one lickety has that the grid doesnt.

3:55 pm

NANCY

thank, for the the hint to check the totals

3:55 pm

penquis

perhaps...

3:56 pm

penquis

how do you know there is a ts 7 if lickety doesn't list it?

3:56 pm

NANCY

grid says 334 and lickety says 335

3:57 pm

penquis

mine says 334 on both....

3:58 pm

NANCY

originally late last night lickety listed the ts 7. he has since corrected his total and taken off the ts 7

3:59 pm

penquis

ah....perhaps someone pointed out the discrepancy....

4:00 pm

NANCY

just refreshed my original lickety list so I saw the correction.

4:00 pm

penquis

hope you didn't spend too much time looking for it...

I think sooner than later, people are going to forget how to spell entire words.

4:42 pm

penquis

perhaps....i am finding it increasingly annoying to see clues for slang in the NYT crossword puzzles...i am so out of touch with today's slang.....

4:43 pm

MollyL

I don't even use abbreviations for street, avenue or boulevard. I love words. I give them the respect they deserve. And yes Pen, I have very little knowledge of today's internet slang.

4:44 pm

5:24 pm

hurshy

i've been in and out all day

5:24 pm

moolingwa

I know, it's like the band is getting back together

5:24 pm

hurshy

just not chatted

5:25 pm

BzznBea

An encore!

5:25 pm

hurshy

my online life has taken an unexpected turn in the last two days and made me busier than usual

5:25 pm

moolingwa

ooh, I found a word!

5:26 pm

hokie carla

I knew you could do it ;)

5:26 pm

BzznBea

I'm not even sure I want to know about that, hurshy?

5:26 pm

moolingwa

woohoo, another word!

5:26 pm

moolingwa

and a third...I'm on a roll

5:27 pm

hokie carla

wow

5:27 pm

BzznBea

I just came in to turn on the living room lights..."Oh, there's Babble..." I'm easily distracted.

5:27 pm

hokie carla

I sat down to look at a sewing pattern on my computer. Oh, there's Babble.

5:27 pm

hokie carla

We have BADD

5:28 pm

BzznBea

LOL!

5:28 pm

hurshy

i might need a pointer for this en8

5:28 pm

moolingwa

to put in chains

5:28 pm

hokie carla

Babble Attention Deficit Disorder for the acronym averse

5:28 pm

hurshy

thanks mool

5:28 pm

moolingwa

yw

5:28 pm

BzznBea

Ru would never get that...LOL!

5:29 pm

hurshy

do you have a preference for being called mool or moo for short?

5:29 pm

hokie carla

I wonder if he knows ADD

5:29 pm

hokie carla

lol, hurshy. I was just wondering why I call him moo and everyone else says mool

5:29 pm

moolingwa

moo I guess

5:29 pm

moolingwa

in my head it sounds like moo-ling-wa

5:29 pm

hokie carla

that's the way I read it as well

5:30 pm

72 Temple Owl

greetings

5:30 pm

moolingwa

but it's nonsensical, so no issue with whatever works

5:30 pm

hurshy

i think i have tended to go "mool" simply because "moo" already exists in English as the sound a cow makes, and mool does not exist in English as anything else, so it's more distinct

5:30 pm

moolingwa

well, I am a man of distinction!

5:31 pm

moolingwa

although I need a shower, so maybe it's more a man who needs destinktion

5:31 pm

BzznBea

LOL!

5:33 pm

MollyL

I use moolingwa simply because it is such an odd user name

5:33 pm

BzznBea

I can't believe I missed the fly this morning.

5:33 pm

moolingwa

odd works

5:34 pm

dcseain

thanks for en8

5:34 pm

hokie carla

bea, that one I "saw" but then couldn't make it work in my head and then there it was on the list. rule #21, always enter words you think you see even if you can't

5:35 pm

MollyL

I see we got no details on Hurshy's "busier than usual on-line life"

5:41 pm

5:45 pm

hurshy

molly, i made a post in a fb group for alumni of my college which turned out to be extremely resonant for a lot of people, resulting in my forming another group (since the original group was meant to be light-hearted stuff and this was more serious) and taking me from not-very-connected to my fellow alums to suddenly very popular

5:46 pm

hurshy

thanks rose

5:46 pm

BzznBea

5:49 pm

HarryHood

5:50 pm

5:52 pm

HarryHood

5:52 pm

dcseain

thanks, Bea!

5:52 pm

hurshy

in my case, most of it is connecting with people i didn't even know at the time, and from other eras even, just connecting over some shared experiences and feelings in our post-college lives.

5:52 pm

grannyrose

i stayed on here in Melbourne. she went outback. nursed in some of our most remote regions.

5:53 pm

dcseain

good. I presume there, is here in the US, rural areas really need medical professionals.

5:54 pm

HarryHood

5:55 pm

hurshy

loving your use of the word "begat" in babble chat, rose

5:56 pm

5:59 pm

Kamanjah

ec 7 please?

6:50 pm

Lizlin

Good morning all. Working on that one now, nan.

6:50 pm

dcseain

it ends with a sound word

6:51 pm

Lizlin

Thanks, Seain.

6:54 pm

cybernan

not making anything work with either sound word

6:54 pm

Lizlin

Nan, it more or less goes straight up the R-H column, then goes left

6:54 pm

dcseain

that word also means to shape up, say muscles. or a musical sound of one frequency.

6:54 pm

Lizlin

It's a plural ending.

6:56 pm

Lizlin

Sounds a bit like an ec word, which means total rapture.

6:57 pm

cybernan

now I am totaly lost

6:57 pm

cybernan

guess I have the wrong sound word --- there must be more that 2

6:57 pm

Lizlin

Has no meaning when I click on the ?

6:58 pm

Lizlin

OK - ec + UK thanks + plural letter + another 2 letter plural ending.

6:59 pm

dianedecoder

it doesn't have any definition. Rhymes with oasis

7:00 pm

Lizlin

Good clue

7:00 pm

dianedecoder

sill word :-) Did we learn anything by solving it??......No!

7:01 pm

Lizlin

No - but I've given up looking up the meaning of all the words! Too many unusual ones that I'll never use!

7:01 pm

Dorens

well it takes one to anoa one liz

7:02 pm

Lizlin

😂

7:02 pm

Lizlin

Wish I was good enough to pun back!

7:02 pm

dianedecoder

Same here, and I've been a word nerd all of my life ! However, I still addictively enjoy the challenge of the game!

7:03 pm

Lizlin

Me too :)

7:03 pm

Lizlin

But inia minute I might think of something!

7:05 pm

cybernan

ty liz -- was way off base looking for something with note or tone in it

7:06 pm

Lizlin

yw, nan. Have to admit I went to morewords.

7:07 pm

cybernan

still don't see where the musical sound with single frequency comes in

7:08 pm

Lizlin

Perhaps if you google the word.

7:09 pm

cybernan

but that was part of the clue -- only think I could see was tone or note --- stilll don't know what the word is

7:09 pm

cybernan

how ever, doesn't really matter

7:10 pm

Lizlin

Rhymes with the plural of oasis

7:11 pm

cybernan

I have the word, liz -- just saying I still do't understand the first clue

7:11 pm

Lizlin

Oh! Sorry - me neither.

7:13 pm

Lizlin

Finally fireworks! Off for a bit of sea air. Have a good day / evening everyone.

I hope it works this year

8:50 pm

welki

i had no reaction this year - bonus!

8:51 pm

HarryHood

nice to hear

8:51 pm

welki

(feeling oddly like chopped liver, though)

8:51 pm

HarryHood

I had a bad reaction to my shingles booster

8:51 pm

HarryHood

better than feeling like egg salad

8:52 pm

welki

my arm didn't get sore, but i didn't feel very well the next day - but who knows what that was about

8:52 pm

HarryHood

so that was a reaction :)

8:52 pm

welki

guess my clues were egg salad

8:54 pm

welki

yes, maybe - i thought about that after i said i didn't have one. i was glad we got ours last week, there's a 2-4 week wait now

8:55 pm

HarryHood

I try to wait until at least mid october - once we all got it early, and all got sick around march. I think it wears off

8:57 pm

cybernan

sorry was watching the news - are we talking flu shots? getting ours tomorrow morning

8:57 pm

HarryHood

my kids all go on friday

8:58 pm

welki

i heard what might have been the most unlikely pairing of voice and song today - hugh laurie singing 'unchain my heart.' didn't care much for his voice, but the music was great

8:59 pm

HarryHood

yikes. bertie wooster usually only sings in the bath, I think. "somehting something something something oranges"

9:00 pm

welki

heh - should have stayed in the loo

9:00 pm

cybernan

*!*~*!* thanks for the help and thanks to lickety -- have a good night everyone and stay safe :)

9:01 pm

HarryHood

good night. I am also departing. bye welki

9:01 pm

cybernan

so far as a group, I celebrate that although there have been some who have had covid, I haven't heard that any have severe after effects -- hope it stays that way.

9:01 pm

welki

now, i'm no expert and i'm sure there are folks who simply adore his singing, but he reminded me of that kid in music class, the one who couldn't hold a note in a bucket, whose mother told him daily that he had the voice of an angel and would be a star someday

9:01 pm

welki

g'night all

9:02 pm

cybernan

goodf night welki

9:02 pm

welki

(and just for the record, i think everyone can sing, just some better than others)

9:03 pm

cybernan

in our hearts, anyway, welki

9:03 pm

cybernan

is it snowing in AB?

9:05 pm

cybernan

as an elementary school music teacher, I was all too aware that there are a lot of tone deaf people out there -- but my goal was that my students learn to enjoy music more than anything else.

10:19 pm

gingin

Nan, after effects of covid may include permanently diminished lung function, severe fatigue lasting weeks/months, impaired organ function of liver/kidneys and a good deal of other things. it is as far from a normal flu virus as you can get.

11:02 pm

Nef

Good evening, Everyaone!

11:28 pm

mcurlschool

Nan, growing up in a musical family, my dad always said he could not sing worth a darn; years after marrying, my siblings and I had the opportunity to attend chuch with our parents. Imagine our utter amazement to find out that Dad could REALLY sing and was good! Now, my brother on the other hand is definite one who it totaly tone deaf. But I love that he doesn't let it bother him!
