5:24 am

ItalianGreyhound

5:24 am

It's a 6/9/10 combo. In the Muppet Show, Statler and Waldorf were cr6(s) - they constantly cr10 (british spelling)

Thx, Molly!

Interesting that INRI is in the grid today. It is what was inscribed on the cross of Jesus. The Latin abbreviation for Iēsus Nazarēnus, Rēx Iūdaeōrum: Jesus the Nazarene.

This game make me feel so stupid, and BOOM- 2 seconds later I'm a genius! :) Happy Easter everyone.

7:33 am

Scrabbler

We are more genius when we find an odd word we know from here that non-Babblers don't know.

7:33 am

ChampFit

Yep. Although I do hate when they have no definition. Had several this week.

7:34 am

Scrabbler

I have trouble remembering the definitions.

7:35 am

ChampFit

I do too, probably because I'm mid-game and just look for the heck of it.

7:37 am

Scrabbler

If I don't use the word in conversation or writing I forget the meaning.

7:37 am

ChampFit

Yes...no practise.

7:39 am

ChampFit

My youngest is graduating nursing school this month Scrabbler. She's going to work in NICU.

7:45 am

MollyL

That's great Champ. My daughter in law is a NICU nurse. Very challenging work.

7:45 am

Scrabbler

I have frequent NICU nightmares. NICU nurses ROCK!

7:46 am

ChampFit

She's excited about it!

7:50 am

Scrabbler

It is extremely meaningful work; she will form close relationships with parents. Some premies stay in the NICU for 4+ months.

7:51 am

ChampFit

I imagine. She's going to be at the county hospital in Houston.

7:52 am

Scrabbler

Texas Children's?

7:52 am

MLFAN17

Happy Easter to those who celebrate it. 99 words is very disappointing

hey scrabs, did you see my baby bunny cakes?

8:07 am

Scrabbler

I do now. Very cute. I have a guest bunny for 3 weeks while his family is in Florida. His name is Giacomo Coniglio.

8:07 am

ChampFit

That a big name for a bunny!

8:08 am

Scrabbler

Coniglio = Rabbit. Giacomo = James or Jacob.

8:09 am

MollyL

I have Italian friends who named their son Giacomo. They call him Jake.

Easter, Passover and Ostara (Pagan celebration of Spring) all fell on the same day this year.

8:29 am

MollyL

Nope, I'm wrong. Ostara was in March and Passover ends today

8:30 am

ChampFit

That's cool!

8:31 am

MollyL

The Easter cheddar chive rolls are out of the oven and it smells good in here.

8:31 am

hokie carla

well, I'm a bit stuck at 20 left. guess I will start some cooking.

8:32 am

MollyL

Enjoy your bunny embyos.

8:32 am

8:32 am

hokie carla

8:32 am

hokie carla

so adorable

8:34 am

MollyL

My grandmother used to make lamb for Easter dinner until my sister (5 at the time) ruined Easter dinner by saying "You mean we're eating a little baby lamb???"

8:40 am

MollyL

Name that proper noun...character in Ghostbusters

8:40 am

hokie carla

when is Easter dinner? afternoon or night? in the mountains we had breakfast, dinner, and supper. My grandmother used to say dinner for lunch all the time, but my mom and her generation don't really.

8:42 am

MollyL

We use dinner and supper for the evening meal. Usually dinner though

8:45 am

hokie carla

I do use supper for evening meal most of the time, but not dinner for lunch.

8:46 am

MollyL

From what I just read, Emily Post is responsible for changing the evening meal to dinner instead of supper.

8:47 am

MollyL

But good old breakfast has always been breakfast.

8:48 am

hokie carla

interesting

8:49 am

hokie carla

"sunday dinner" was always at my grandmother's house after church.

8:54 am

hokie carla

https://tinyurl.com/3cvb7b4c

8:54 am

hokie carla

btw, I decided it's too early to cook.

8:55 am

hokie carla

but I still haven't found any new words

9:02 am

hokie carla

finally...top row gray!

9:04 am

hokie carla

EGON, molly. (took that long for it to come to me)

9:09 am

MollyL

Ding ding, Carla wins the Easter bonnet made out of Peeps

9:09 am

hokie carla

sweet (literally)

9:09 am

MollyL

You'll be the grandest lady in the Easter parade

9:13 am

hokie carla

never any doubt ;P

9:20 am

hurshy

hmm, i saw MLFs clue for the 9 and 10 but, not seeing it. are they D words? or maybe i words?

9:20 am

hokie carla

cr, english spelling

9:20 am

hokie carla

a cr6 would do this

9:20 am

hurshy

ahh, ok, thanks

9:21 am

rururocks

thank you

9:22 am

hurshy

now for 7s, i only have de7, anyone have others?

9:22 am

hokie carla

I just found de7, but have another.what is it.

9:22 am

hokie carla

9:22 am

MLFAN17

9:23 am

rururocks

you have to sink your teeth into in7

9:23 am

hokie carla

is si7 a regular word?

9:24 am

MLFAN17

ends in alternate sp of night

9:24 am

hokie carla

ok, thx

9:25 am

MLFAN17

sink your teeth into it?

9:25 am

hokie carla

I have 2 7's and 6 6's out of 13. that is not good.

9:25 am

hurshy

because it's related to the name of a particular tooth

9:26 am

hurshy

oh i'm ok on 6s, i have 12

9:26 am

rururocks

keep working at it mlf you'll put a dentin it eventually

9:26 am

MLFAN17

ot the one i am thinking of isnt in the grid

9:27 am

hurshy

the tooth isn't in the grid, it's just the same root word

9:27 am

MLFAN17

ok ty hurshy will work on it i got to go poof

9:27 am

hokie carla

the in6 means to cut into

9:29 am

howdy nan

9:30 am

hurshy

there's a babblet se6/18 hokie

9:31 am

hokie carla

hmm...

9:31 am

MollyL

When someone says "related to" it means a word LIKE by not EXACTLY that word

9:32 am

hurshy

one would think that would be clear, would one not? :D

9:35 am

cybernan

I always take "related to" as meaning it is another form of the word with similar meaning

9:36 am

hokie carla

I usually clarify "related to x (not in grid)" to avoid exactly that situation :D

9:37 am

hurshy

name that proper noun! Dame Judi

9:38 am

9:43 am

hurshy

9:43 am

9:46 am

hokie carla

yeah, you should totally be smug about getting lucky

9:47 am

hurshy

"have you never known the triumph of a lucky guess?"

9:47 am

rururocks

I'm always smug when I get lucky

9:48 am

cybernan

fstill waiting for that clue :)

9:48 am

hokie carla

yeah, he's apparently not going to help us. part of the smugneess.

9:49 am

rururocks

i think everyone should get lucky :D

9:50 am

hokie carla

yep, you worked hard for that word, don't just give it away. LOL

9:50 am

rururocks

the last seven is ec7

9:50 am

hokie carla

yes, I'm on the list but still can't find the ec7 either

9:50 am

hokie carla

hurshy

9:52 am

hokie carla

9:52 am

cybernan

9:52 am

cybernan

*Part

9:52 am

hokie carla

meta mart sounds like a nice store

9:53 am

cybernan

have never heard of meta mart

9:53 am

hokie carla

because you just made it up

9:53 am

cybernan

makes no sense to me at all

9:53 am

hurshy

cnan, scroll to 9:40 and read the convo

9:54 am

hokie carla

3 6's left here. cannot find.

9:56 am

cybernan

don't have the ic 5 either if that is what you are talking about

9:57 am

hokie carla

ic5 is describing a seizure or stroke. de7 is a grammar term I've never heard of.

9:57 am

hokie carla

ends in muscle spasm

9:58 am

9:58 am

10:03 am

cybernan

10:03 am

rururocks

this grid is giving me grief for a tiny grid

10:03 am

hokie carla

wow, was seeing that when I looked it up but couldn't see the pl in the grid somehow, thanks.

10:04 am

hokie carla

smaller is not better in grid size

10:04 am

hokie carla

this one gave me a lot of grief

10:05 am

rururocks

smaller is not better in most things hokie

10:05 am

rururocks

except for debt

10:05 am

hokie carla

true

10:06 am

amelu0218

so... I think I've mentioned my indoor/outdoor cat (age 15.5) but I don't know that I mentioned she's a longhair black cat... also, that when there is not inclement weather her favorite perch is in the live oak tree (out of the range of the dog). This morning she has a patina of yellow/green on her head from pollen. Glad she doesn't get hay fever. (My random thought of the morning, lol)

10:06 am

hokie carla

smaller would be better in height of grocery store shelves. I either have to climb on bottom shelf or ask a stranger to help me.

10:07 am

hokie carla

we don't have the yellow coating everything yet. I'm sure it'll be in the next week or so.

10:07 am

amelu0218

Carla, I'm 5'6" and have to do the same. Totally agree!

10:08 am

rururocks

maybe she was a bee in a past lifetime amelu

10:09 am

hokie carla

you're tall! I'm under 5'4". and I'm surprised when a tall person sees me struggling to reach something and doesn't offer to help.

10:09 am

rururocks

you're a munchkin hokie

10:10 am

hokie carla

I know. I wasn't even taller than my mom until she started shrinking.

10:11 am

amelu0218

It's been here with a vengeance for 3-4 weeks. I haven't seen it this bad in quite some time... why I buy dark colored vehicles is a mystery... the weather has been so nice that I really want to take the top off of my jeep but I'm afraid of the eternal clean-up if I do, lol.

10:12 am

amelu0218

ru, could have been! She loves the azalea bushes (sans dog)

10:12 am

cybernan

am learning what it is like not to be able to reach -- I swear they are making shelving higher -- I know the kitchen cupboards are higher (new code is that they must be hung 18" above the level of the stove top) and I have shrunk 1.5"

10:13 am

rururocks

I used to be over 6' tall but i've shrunk a bit (I call it compressing)

10:13 am

cybernan

oh that sounds much better, ru :D

10:13 am

hokie carla

I have to use a step stool in the kitchen if I want anything out of the upper cabinets.

10:14 am

hokie carla

my mom was about 5'6" and now she's way shorter than me. I think she's probably 5'1" or 5'2" now.

10:14 am

amelu0218

definitely compressing. sometimes I feel like I need to do a Barney Fife and stretch from the neck down, lol

10:14 am

rururocks

knew you'd figure it out sooner or ladder hokie

10:15 am

amelu0218

my mom was the same

10:15 am

hokie carla

my friend swears she got taller from yoga and pilates

10:15 am

cybernan

I used to be 5'8"

10:16 am

rururocks

my mom is under 5' 3"

10:16 am

hokie carla

my older brothers were like 5'11" and 6'. not sure if they are still that. I just ended up short somehow.
