9:43 am

hokie carla

I have made it to 16 but still have 2 more qu7 per pen's clue

9:46 am

hokie carla

9:53 am

Scrabbler

I have 16 q's now

9:53 am

hokie carla

9:53 am

9:54 am

hurshy

i have 4 of them also, one of mine is not in a combo, and i only need 3 more q

9:55 am

hurshy

and one is in a combo but it is 7/8

9:56 am

Scrabbler

*looking*

9:58 am

mattygroves

9:58 am

mattygroves

Here comes the list

10:03 am

Scrabbler

Good for you, matty.

10:05 am

Penguins are mine

10:07 am

Scrabbler

Also very cute.

10:08 am

hokie carla

I like puffins and penguins

10:08 am

hurshy

i wonder how weird it would be if you went on jeopardy and you actually asked the questions as if you were asking the question, instead of the sort of weird way they say it

10:08 am

hokie carla

4th row gray!

10:08 am

hurshy

like imagine the emphasis if you were saying "what is a puffin?" as an actual question vs as a jeopardy response, it's quite different

10:09 am

rururocks

just a's now for me

10:10 am

Scrabbler

Yes, I think of that too, hurshy.

10:10 am

hurshy

rururocks

10:11 am

Scrabbler

I need help with the i. Obvious?

10:11 am

hurshy

i only have the valued old thing and i suppose it is not that or you would miss 7 and 8 both

10:11 am

hurshy

one of the i is something you're born with

10:12 am

hurshy

(an adj that describes it i mean)

10:12 am

Scrabbler

Aha. I already had en5.

10:12 am

mattygroves

My monkeys are working overtime

10:12 am

hurshy

Plenty of peanuts!

10:14 am

mattygroves

RH, would you believe? It's a type of shrub, apparently

10:14 am

hurshy

oh dear

10:15 am

car.eeyore

SCRABS! I'm so glad you are hear! I had the sweetest dream last night! I had like 14 little bunnies in my care and I was trying to decide which one to keep! They were all so cute!

10:18 am

hokie carla

10:18 am

hurshy

mk thanks :)

10:18 am

hokie carla

pretty much the rh9

10:19 am

hokie carla

see if you had gotten the ra8 first, you wouldn't have needed morewords for hte 9

10:19 am

hurshy

ah, ha! that makes sense

10:19 am

hurshy

18 left, and 8 of them are 7s, lol

10:20 am

hokie carla

23 left here - 3x4, 3x5, 4x6, 12x7, 1x8. guess I should work on an8.

10:20 am

hokie carla

is it against something?

10:20 am

hurshy

it is a normal word (plural, combo with 7)

10:20 am

hokie carla

I am against A words, I'll tell you that

10:21 am

hurshy

no, no prefix

10:22 am

hokie carla

duh

10:22 am

mattygroves

Can I have a wee nudgette on the re7, please?

10:23 am

hokie carla

that is the set bea was telling me about earlier

10:23 am

hokie carla

I still need 3 RE, so that must be one. sorry I can't help.

10:24 am

hokie carla

I knew someone named Renita back home. not a word, JIC you were wondering.

10:24 am

Scrabbler

65 left for later. Good luck finishing, everyone.

10:25 am

hokie carla

bye,scrabs!

10:26 am

hokie carla

and if you're raising in poker, isn't that a re6?

10:26 am

hurshy

no, because the an4 is just the part you pay to play in that hand

10:26 am

hurshy

the rest of the raises are not

10:27 am

hurshy

the re7 is the only re that i need so it is not in a combo

10:27 am

hokie carla

they are the raise, I get it! just complaining about enable like we like to do every day

10:28 am

hokie carla

have a guess for my missing R on the bottom?

10:28 am

hurshy

i am missing one there also :(

10:28 am

hokie carla

or my bottom row H?

10:29 am

hurshy

he4/6 that is a plural perhaps?

10:29 am

hokie carla

well, it was that, but I entered that earlier. :<

10:30 am

hokie carla

have you finished P? (tee hee)

10:30 am

hurshy

no, need one of them

10:30 am

hokie carla

same

10:30 am

hokie carla

how about the N? I need one

10:30 am

hurshy

re7... the end part makes me think of nose stuff

10:31 am

hurshy

2 na, both babblets... 3 ne and 3 ni

10:31 am

hokie carla

of course, the other ni spelling

10:32 am

hurshy

re7 ending is like an enzyme, too, maybe that is what it is

10:32 am

hurshy

yes, it is an enzyme!

10:32 am

hokie carla

18 - P AAA RRR Qx5 TTT SSS - 2x4, 2x5, 4x6, 10x7

10:33 am

hokie carla

thx for the R

10:33 am

hurshy

don't you just love it when you can figure things out even though you didn't know them?

10:33 am

hokie carla

I don't like having 10 7s left

10:34 am

hokie carla

yes, hurshy, it's like light bulb! if you do reddit, you should check out the etymology sub. some interesting things.

10:34 am

hurshy

mk cool

10:37 am

hokie carla

managed another q

10:38 am

hurshy

i went to the list at 16 left

10:38 am

hokie carla

oh yeah, just remembered 2 of my 7s are SH, and I think I have at least one more q7

10:39 am

hokie carla

NTPN! captain kirk

10:39 am

hurshy

james tiberius...

10:39 am

hurshy

oh shatner

10:39 am

hokie carla

ding ding ding

10:40 am

hokie carla

but not the sh7s I was looking for

10:40 am

hurshy

i was like "james and tiberius are not in the grid!! what??"

10:40 am

hurshy

not the droids you're looking for either

10:41 am

hokie carla

wrong star franchise!

10:42 am

hokie carla

I believe I will have to list too. still 17 left.

10:43 am

hurshy

well i like both franchises, sorry

10:43 am

hokie carla

started at the bottom - baffled by my 3 missing Ts.

10:45 am

dan2bit

a tapeworm babblet that uses lots of vowels, and has both latin and english plural

10:45 am

hokie carla

equally baffled by those sh7s

10:46 am

hurshy

sh7/40 is an odd spelling of a small shack or a sailor song

10:46 am

hokie carla

thanks dan, tapeworm didn't help, but lots of vowels stirred something in my memory

10:46 am

hokie carla

that's the only one I have, hurshy!

10:47 am

rururocks

I wonder if there are Scotch tapeworms?

10:47 am

hokie carla

ah, there's the first one I should have gotten

10:47 am

hurshy

the other two remind me of a wheat based food, but with sh instead of just s

10:47 am

hurshy

they are almost identical

10:48 am

hokie carla

sa5 is what I'm referring to

10:48 am

hokie carla

hmm, so many wheat based foods I'm having trouble narrowing it down

10:49 am

hokie carla

doh, there's 2 R's I should have gotten

10:49 am

hokie carla

and my last one on the bottom was a 4 babblet. duh.

10:49 am

dan2bit

se7 redwood relative

10:50 am

hokie carla

I have that, mine are both sh7

10:50 am

dan2bit

oh sorry

10:50 am

hokie carla

np

10:51 am

hokie carla

I will just look them up if I need to after going through the whole list.

10:51 am

rururocks

maybe a silent redwood hokie :D

10:51 am

hokie carla

shhh

10:53 am

bichon

an 7/28, first one, pls

10:55 am

hokie carla

an + the n babblet that looks like a plural man's name

10:58 am

hokie carla

just looked up the first sh7 - funny how the def includes the word that isn't on enable

10:58 am

hokie carla

and now sure how that is a wheat based food LOL

10:58 am

hokie carla

not

11:00 am

sammysmom

11:33 am

11:41 am

dan2bit

never mind, peri'ed it

11:42 am

bichon

I thought so, but can't find it

11:43 am

dan2bit

it's apparently horse armor?

11:43 am

dan2bit

ends in the top right corner

11:44 am

cybernan

so my missing pis a 7 that means horse armor -- the likelyhood of me finding that is about nil :)

11:44 am

cybernan

so my missing pis a 7 that means horse armor -- the likelyhood of me finding that is about nil :)

11:46 am

I really wish I could have a balcony in the sun -- colder than you know what today

11:50 am

Biltong

I'm missing one L. I have le4, le5,le4,lo4 and lo6

11:51 am

Thanks, got all of the l's now

11:58 am

cybernan

11:59 am

Biltong

yay, me too :)

12:00 pm

Biltong

need a clue, nan? I have to leave soon

12:00 pm

moolingwa

hope you search proves fruitful

12:00 pm

JaxH66

plaa

12:01 pm

JaxH66

whoops sorry

12:01 pm

Biltong

Ha ha mool :)

12:01 pm

moolingwa

:)

12:01 pm

cybernan

no so far mool -- can't think of a fruit that fits the bill

12:02 pm

moolingwa

at least you got the clue :)

12:02 pm

cybernan

certainly nothing we grow around here

12:02 pm

Biltong

sorry, have to go

12:03 pm

cybernan

I'm going to need another -- only one I can think of is a lemon

12:03 pm

moolingwa

I had them in NZ, but they're more a sub tropical fruit

12:03 pm

JaxH66

i'd not heard that beginning on a fruit, but had heard of the ending on a fruit

12:04 pm

moolingwa

we had them in Miami

12:04 pm

hokie carla

yes, was going to say there is a c fruit

12:04 pm

cybernan

then definitely something I have never seen

12:04 pm

moolingwa

k fruit that has the same ending

12:04 pm

cybernan

cherries?

12:04 pm

hokie carla

doh

12:05 pm

JaxH66

More citrus.

12:05 pm

hokie carla

spelling of weird fruits is not my forte

12:05 pm

moolingwa

oh come come come, it's not like it's that difficult :)

12:05 pm

cybernan

lemons, limes, grapefruit, oranges - don't know any others that I would call citrus

12:06 pm

moolingwa

anyway, you're more of an obscure armor specialist

12:06 pm

moolingwa

the l fruit is not citrus

12:06 pm

moolingwa

the k fruit which has the same ending as the l fruit is citrus, and you eat the skin and all

12:06 pm

cybernan

the l fruit is an unknown - there must be a clue other than a definition

12:07 pm

moolingwa

has the high point tile in it

12:07 pm

cybernan

not a kiwi then

12:08 pm

hokie carla

there is an adj that might be used to describe me that looks like a derivative, though it's not

12:08 pm

JaxH66

There is a clue in the chat that gives the species name if you want to go looking

12:09 pm

moolingwa

ah, found the nine

12:10 pm

hokie carla

well, that's certainly impressive

12:11 pm

hokie carla

this grid is very plant heavy

12:11 pm

cybernan

giving up on that stupid fruit --- have no idea - tried every combo with the q tha I could come up with

12:11 pm

cybernan

stats for the 9 please?

12:11 pm

hokie carla

rh9

12:12 pm

JaxH66

nan there's a clue at about 8.30 in the chat

12:12 pm

moolingwa

20 to go

12:12 pm

hokie carla

only made it to 17 today. used quite a few clues and even had to look up some.

12:14 pm

cybernan

japonica? didn't know their was another name for that

12:15 pm

BzznBea

Japonica is species that originate in SIA.

12:15 pm

hokie carla

rh9 is Krameria

12:15 pm

BzznBea

Asia

12:15 pm

cybernan

anyway - going to list now --- I think I've found all the english words

12:15 pm

moolingwa

15 to go, finished my 8s

12:15 pm

cybernan

what the hek is krameria?

12:16 pm

hokie carla

south african shrub, what is japonica?

12:16 pm

BzznBea

Lo6 is English

12:16 pm

hokie carla

how many plants in today's grid, bea?

12:17 pm

BzznBea

several

12:17 pm

cybernan

if you live in Miami or New Zealand and eat strange fruit, apparently

12:18 pm

moolingwa

I think they're delicious :)

12:18 pm

hokie carla

oh, the lo6 is japonica

12:19 pm

BzznBea

I'm gone again. Just got on my computer to look for something on Amazon. Not sure that is English either. <evil grin>

12:19 pm

hokie carla

bye bea. I am finished with lunch so I guess I'll get back to work too.

12:20 pm

hokie carla

just need a moo update...

12:21 pm

cybernan

an 7 please?

12:21 pm

moolingwa

still 15... 4x4, 2x5, 4x6 and 5x7 to go

12:21 pm

JaxH66

very old

12:21 pm

cybernan

-- not the old things - have those

12:21 pm

moolingwa

yes, collectibly old

12:21 pm

hokie carla

an + the babblet that looks like plural man's name that has no singular

12:21 pm

moolingwa

oh, the spears

12:21 pm

JaxH66

I've not got it

12:22 pm

moolingwa

it's an anagram of a queen of russia and also anagram of hand made

12:22 pm

hokie carla

something to do with the pope per the dictionary

12:23 pm

moolingwa

apparently poison tipped arrow, not spear :0

12:23 pm

hokie carla

the britneys moo?

12:23 pm

hokie carla

never mind then

12:23 pm

hokie carla

btw, we are clueing 2 different an7's, nan

12:26 pm

cybernan

ok - found the one with the man's name

12:26 pm

cybernan

looking for the against one now

12:27 pm

cybernan

found - ty

12:34 pm

cybernan

monkeyed the lo 6 finally - have never heard of it before -- will have to see if I can find a picture later

12:35 pm

moolingwa

yeah, in nz we pronounce the last syllable "kit"

12:35 pm

moolingwa

10 to go here

12:36 pm

hokie carla

do you now get the k word with the same ending?

12:44 pm

cybernan

yes, carla - but just something I've heard of - not anything I've ever eaten or seen in our markets

12:44 pm

cybernan

aren't they some kind of berry?

12:44 pm

moolingwa

very small citrus fruit

12:45 pm

moolingwa

they kind of look like berries, and you eat the whole thing...but citrus

12:45 pm

cybernan

I guess they don't store or travel well -- otherwise you'd think they would be available here

12:46 pm

moolingwa

Not sure they have wide appeal

12:46 pm

cybernan

are you talking about the ku or the lo, now?

12:47 pm

moolingwa

Have seen them here in Colorado occasionally

12:47 pm

moolingwa

the ku

12:47 pm

moolingwa

the lo don't travel well

12:48 pm

moolingwa

Actually, they may travel well, but not sure there is much commercial cultivation

12:48 pm

cybernan

I will have to look for the lo, the next time we go to CA --- that is if we are ever allowed to travel again!

12:49 pm

moolingwa

still 8 to go

12:49 pm

hokie carla

the lo is new to me too

12:50 pm

hokie carla

let's see the stats, moo

12:50 pm

jan

You see them in Italy too, where they a re called nespole. They are about the size of a small apricot and have three round black seeds inside. I think they are mainly eaten by those with a tree in their yard, since they are too soft to travel well. They make good jam, though.

12:50 pm

cybernan

12 here and have just found that there is yet another sh 7 --- sh 7/40 this time

12:50 pm

moolingwa

yeah, I've only had them off the tree

12:51 pm

hokie carla

that one is fairly easy, nan, it was the other 2 I had to look up

12:51 pm

moolingwa

I have 2 sh7 that are spelled almost the same

12:51 pm

hokie carla

yeah, those are the 2 I had to look up

12:51 pm

cybernan

ooh - I would much rather travel to Italy to taste them, but I don't think that is ever going to happen again

12:51 pm

moolingwa

For whatever reason, I can't scroll my word list down :)

12:52 pm

hokie carla

nan, have you heard of pawpaws? we have talked about them here before.

12:52 pm

cybernan

Not that I remember, carla

12:52 pm

moolingwa

lot of odd fruit in Miami

12:53 pm

hokie carla

I want to try that. I planted 3 trees last year but they are tiny

12:53 pm

cybernan

closest I have ever been to Miami was the Kennedy Space Centre and that was with 3 little kids in tow.

12:54 pm

hokie carla

they are native to NA and don't travel well, which is why they never made it to market. supposedly tastes like a mix between a mango and banana.

12:54 pm

moolingwa

I've driven past the space coast many times, never went to the Kennedy Space Center though

12:54 pm

hokie carla

we flew to Miami once to drive to the Keys

12:54 pm

cybernan

is the sh 7/40 similar to the 7/32's?

12:54 pm

hokie carla

and spent some time in Hollywood, FL

12:54 pm

hokie carla

nope

12:55 pm

moolingwa

no, but it's a homophone for a sh6

12:56 pm

hokie carla

the dictionary link tells you it's a variation of another word which when you click that link says it is a variation of the way I'm familiar with the word

12:56 pm

hokie carla

never seen it spelled ch, so not sure why it directs you to that one first

12:56 pm

cybernan

It was amazing, mool --- mind you, it has probably changed since we were there in 1978

12:57 pm

moolingwa

yeah, it's an iconic place...my MIL lives in St Augustine, about 2 hours or so north of there

12:58 pm

cybernan

oh - we were in St. Augustine -- huge spanish fort and Ripley's?

12:58 pm

hokie carla

St. Aug is nice

12:58 pm

moolingwa

yep

12:58 pm

hokie carla

we drove by the fort a couple of years ago and couldn't find parking so then left

12:59 pm

moolingwa

yeah, it's kind of awkward getting parking there

12:59 pm

hokie carla

but we accidentally discovered the fountain of youth on our way to the fort and stopped there and then decided we didn't want to spend that much on tickets to go look at a well

12:59 pm

moolingwa

you should tell Ponce de Leon next time you see him :)

1:00 pm

moolingwa

6 to go

1:00 pm

hokie carla

yeah, he should be still alive and young

1:00 pm

moolingwa

5 to go

1:00 pm

cybernan

a clue for the sh 7/40 please?

1:00 pm

moolingwa

4x7 and a 6

1:00 pm

hokie carla

an old run down building

1:01 pm

hokie carla

and T's moo?

1:01 pm

cybernan

isn't that an sh 6?

1:01 pm

hokie carla

*any

1:01 pm

hokie carla

nan, that's where the whole spelling variation thing comes in to play

1:02 pm

cybernan

oh - I see - another alt. sp

1:02 pm

cybernan

ty carla

cybernan

anyone want to try a breakdown clue for that rh 7, or should I just forget it?

1:07 pm

hokie carla

if you have ra8, it is almost identical

1:08 pm

hokie carla

if you meant rh9, since there isn't an rh7

1:09 pm

moolingwa

rh9....sounds as if you made word for wicker into an adjective, then made it plural...then added a letter :)

1:10 pm

cybernan

ty mool - similar to the ra 8 :)

1:10 pm

moolingwa

yeah..if you have that one :D

1:11 pm

hokie carla

wow, if only someone had suggested that ;)

1:11 pm

cybernan

*lo6

1:14 pm

hokie carla

1:15 pm

moolingwa

no, I saw it :)

1:15 pm

moolingwa

the popery one

1:16 pm

hokie carla

oh, I'm assuming that's your a7 since you mentioned the other 2

1:16 pm

moolingwa

yeah

1:17 pm

hokie carla

and the P7 is the funny one to me, and the S7 you should get, it's a regular word (in my book at least)

1:22 pm

6:50 pm

grannyrose

i got lucky with those clues. just up after returning to bed. another bad night i had. *sigh*

6:50 pm

Trifioso

oh i am sorry to hear. not sleeping is the worst

6:52 pm

grannyrose

at least i have the time to allow for naps during the day most days. i'm just in a vicious sleep cycle at the moment. if i try and stay up i become over-tired which is just as bad.

6:53 pm

Trifioso

agreed. have you tried the usual - melatonin, benadryl, etc?

6:54 pm

grannyrose

melatonin yes. benedryl no because of hypertension.

6:54 pm

Trifioso

sigh. sleep is so important. I cannot remember the last time I slept through the night, but mine is 100% due to sister mary menopause.

6:55 pm

grannyrose

i could take a valium and emdone but i try to save them for a "that's it. i can't take it any more" day/night.

6:56 pm

Trifioso

I send you all good wishes and sleepy vibes for tonight, then

6:57 pm

grannyrose

thanx trif. not just yet though if you please. time for church and the the congergation has a meeting with our bishop. our vicar is retiring and we have to voce how we see our next vicar.

6:58 pm

Trifioso

oh wow - those meetings are always interesting. we had to have our yearly one via google, of course....ugh

6:58 pm

grannyrose

oh dear heaven !! *congregation* *voice*

6:59 pm

grannyrose

we just had our AGM. very late, but cv-19 stopped us from meeting at the right time.

6:59 pm

Trifioso

lol, I understood you!

7:00 pm

grannyrose

and as most of our congregation are 80+, no computers or tablet devices owned.

7:00 pm

Trifioso

we were in shut down still, so no choice

7:01 pm

Trifioso

my church has yet to resume live services, actually - we are far behind you all

7:02 pm

grannyrose

we are only allowed 20 inside. so the vicar is holding multiple services through the day which is nice as far as i'm concerned. i can have my morning nap and church too.

7:02 pm

Trifioso

oh that is nice.

7:03 pm

grannyrose

and we are allowed to sing, with masks in situ.

7:03 pm

Trifioso

very cool!

7:04 pm

grannyrose

trif honey. i got to go. lunch coming and then this lazy bag of bones goes into the shower. enjoy the rest of you day/evening. see you after the flip. xx

Thank you ursh. How about the third qu6/27 word please

11:33 pm

ursh

same as first qu6 diff cons ending

11:33 pm

ursh

actually plural

11:38 pm

Minveryork

I just changed first qu6/27 word with every consonant at the end and nothing worked. Am I changing cross letter at the end of first qu6/27 to a different consonant ursh

11:40 pm

ursh

they all build off the qu5/16 which with an s would be cross eyed - add a vowel to qu5 then add difference cons to that word

11:40 pm

ursh

*different consonants

11:44 pm

Minveryork

Thank U ursh. I just don't have the patience for this right now. I am giving up with four words left. Been doing this off and on all day today. Thanks again ursh.Appreciate it
