7:57 am

MLFAN17

neener should be a word

MollyL

Other people do think that no4er is a word. Just not the black socks and sandals wearing nerds who made the Enable word list who have probably never had a no4er

7:58 am

8:40 am

BzznBea

They are mostly common words.

8:40 am

11:28 am

car.eeyore

OK, I have at least one from every tile. Going through for a second pass now.

11:29 am

hurshy

well that would be 8 letters cnan, you need to try something that is only 3 in the blank

11:29 am

hurshy

and you need to be starting from the left A

11:29 am

zoozzoom

PT of that action, Nan.

11:30 am

zoozzoom

And you too, Car.eeyore!

11:45 am

cybernan

you too car

11:46 am

cybernan

made 6 dozen ginger cookies yesterday -- my poor waistline is going to be nonexistent by the time this pandemic is over

11:48 am

Shirlockc

waistline ...?

11:48 am

zoozzoom

lol

11:51 am

zoozzoom

I think I might of said once or twice before that I can eat anything and not put any weight on what so ever.

11:52 am

penquis

that's why we all want to be you, zooz.... ;o)

11:52 am

cybernan

yeah zoom -- that was me about 50 years ago -- then I hit 30

11:52 am

zoozzoom

Oh believe me you don't LOL

11:52 am

Shirlockc

i was able to do that zoom until my 40s

11:53 am

zoozzoom

57 and still as thin as a rake lol

11:53 am

clg47

Yes I was able to do that also zoom. Now if my husband eats a cookie the weight falls off him, creeps along the floor and finds me.

11:53 am

cybernan

you need to eat more cream teas :)

11:54 am

zoozzoom

LOL

11:55 am

periwinkle

I have the re9 that comes after the re6/8 help with other re9 please.

11:56 am

clg47

cybernan - a while back where you the one that fell through a trap door in the laundry room? If so how are you?

11:56 am

cybernan

don't have it peri

11:57 am

periwinkle

ok will let you know if find it

11:57 am

bichon

cream teas?

11:57 am

zoozzoom

I think there is only one re9

11:58 am

cybernan

cig -- much better thanks. just a few tender spots left.

11:58 am

periwinkle

ok then there is another 9. does anyone know the stats for that one

11:58 am

zoozzoom

Pr9 & re9

11:58 am

periwinkle

ty zooz. looking

11:58 am

zoozzoom

PR 9/ 60

11:59 am

periwinkle

got it ty

11:59 am

cybernan

cream tea served with a scone, piled high with loads of butter, jam and topped with devon cream

11:59 am

periwinkle

sounds delish and fattening

11:59 am

cybernan

it is and it is

11:59 am

Shirlockc

i love scones

12:00 pm

cybernan

had my first cream tea in a tea room on the pier at Brighton -- put a few pounds on during that trip.

12:00 pm

bichon

not something you'd find in the US. But we have other ways to enlarge you waistline.

12:01 pm

clg47

cybernan, I spent a week designing safety slings, landing pads etc for you. Oh yum I like scones. I call the scones and by friends from GB correct me to skones. we have scones all over the PNW.

12:02 pm

cybernan

I think about the only place you would find cream tea being served here is in Victoria BC -- which is almost more BRitish than Britain, if you know what I mean ;)

12:03 pm

mattygroves

Heya. Are the 9s words I might use in writing or in conversation?

12:03 pm

zoozzoom

Always a debate here if the word is scone ending like the word own. Or scone ending like the word gone.

12:03 pm

Shirlockc

delish either way

12:04 pm

cybernan

lol - zoom - with my scottish ancestry it rhymes with soon

12:04 pm

zoozzoom

LOL

12:04 pm

zoozzoom

I must remember that one!

12:05 pm

zoozzoom

Pr 9 would be in conversation about before the football starts for the year.

12:06 pm

mattygroves

Aaah hah - gotya!

12:08 pm

zoozzoom

I am still chuckling over the word scoon.

12:12 pm

bichon

I'm a tea drinker, but putting milk in it is not my thing

12:13 pm

cybernan

the tea doesn't necessarily have milk bichon - devon cream is a clotted cream that goes on top of the jam and butter

12:15 pm

bichon

I was in a shop in NZ and the tea automatically came with milk. Had to send it ack

12:15 pm

cybernan

the scones are served warm and the butter melts in, then the jam, then the cream. REally good -- especially with current jam

12:16 pm

Shirlockc

please cyber, the drool will short out my keyboard

12:16 pm

penquis

is that the jam you are eating currently or the currant jam?...

12:16 pm

cybernan

lol

12:16 pm

clg47

current jam, raspberry jam, lemon curd it is all good.

12:16 pm

cybernan

that is so true, cig

12:18 pm

cybernan

that's why I never did well at weight watchers -- none of the baking recipes have butter or sugar and everything tastes like sawdust

12:24 pm

bichon

Having type 2 Diabetes, I've gotten to accepti that I can't eat what I like

12:28 pm

hokie carla

rehi!

12:29 pm

hokie carla

zooz - my 18 year old is 6' tall and 125 lbs.

12:30 pm

Uneaixoise

Good grief!

12:31 pm

hokie carla

I know

12:33 pm

bichon

Son or aughter?

12:34 pm

hokie carla

son

12:35 pm

bichon

Some people have high metabolisms

12:36 pm

hokie carla

yeah, I've told him it won't last, but now zooz tells me it might

12:39 pm

bichon

He'll fill out

12:39 pm

hokie carla

yeah, the 20 yo was skinny too but when he went to college he gained like the freshman 40

12:40 pm

cybernan

Has he tried weight lifting, carla? -- good way to bulk up if that is what he wants

12:40 pm

hokie carla

and that was only living in the dorm from Aug - Mar due to COVID

12:40 pm

hokie carla

he was drinking protein shakes and doing some weight stuff but not really anything right now

12:41 pm

hokie carla

but soccer season is over so he's not doing all that running around anymore

12:41 pm

penquis

does he eat well?

12:42 pm

zoozzoom

Fireworks for me. Happy babbling everyone!

12:42 pm

hokie carla

not really a great variety but he certainly eats a lot of calories

12:42 pm

hokie carla

well done, zooz. 68 left here.

12:43 pm

zoozzoom

Oh I will tell you what my wight is in pounds. Hold on.

12:43 pm

penquis

probably just high metabolism then if he seems healthy....my bro's best friend is skinny as a senior citizen.....always ate what he wanted and was always skinny...

12:43 pm

cybernan

grats zoom -- have a good evening

12:43 pm

penquis

congrats, zooz...

12:43 pm

hokie carla

yeah, I didn't know stones or whatever to tell you, zooz. ;)

12:44 pm

zoozzoom

I am a little less weight at 119 pounds, Hokie lol

12:44 pm

hokie carla

wow

12:44 pm

zoozzoom

Which is 8.5 stones.

12:45 pm

penquis

how tall are you, zooz?

12:45 pm

hokie carla

yeah, I don't even want to know how many stones I am

12:45 pm

zoozzoom

I am 5ft 9.

12:47 pm

zoozzoom

Well time for me to go. Bye all!

12:47 pm

penquis

bye, zooz...

12:47 pm

hokie carla

adios! eat some ice cream for me. ;)

12:58 pm

Uneaixoise

85 to go...... whew

12:59 pm

hokie carla

stuck at 59. can't imagine any more words from any of these tiles. have grayed 9, but none bigger than 3 words

1:00 pm

hokie carla

oh, and we saw the big wading bird on our walk and I overheard a little boy calling it a blue heroin and it was making me giggle

1:06 pm

cybernan

on a grid this size I usually list as soon as I'm down to 100

1:08 pm

penquis

i worked with a student once who was telling me about the space shovel.... ;o)

1:08 pm

hokie carla

LOL

1:09 pm

penquis

when asked what the capital of Maine was, she said, "M."

1:09 pm

hokie carla

I mean, she's not wrong

1:10 pm

penquis

nope....just very literal...

1:11 pm

Scrabbler

I just found a deli meat.

1:12 pm

Scrabbler

mess

1:12 pm

Scrabbler

Free clue.

1:12 pm

joym999

And it ain't ham, Scrabbler.

1:12 pm

hokie carla

darn it I have that one

1:12 pm

Scrabbler

Nor salami.

1:12 pm

joym999

You're in the penalty box, scrabbler. You can snack on deli meat. :)

1:13 pm

Scrabbler

Vegan here, so I will have grilled veggies.

1:14 pm

hokie carla

scrabbler, what is your take on honey? my friend and I were talking about that.

1:14 pm

joym999

I love grilled mushrooms.

1:14 pm

Scrabbler

Sort of an animal product. I don't like it though. Too sweet.

1:15 pm

hokie carla

I just don't like the taste of it, but I know some vegans consider it stealing from the bees.

1:15 pm

joym999

That makes it easier to not eat it.

1:16 pm

hokie carla

I thought it was a byproduct of bees being bees, didn't know they needed it and would miss it.

1:16 pm

joym999

I know a lot of people who don't eat beef because of it's environmental impacts, but I don't eat it because I don't like it, so I can't claim that I'm taking a stand.

1:16 pm

Scrabbler

And I don't believe bees are harmed in the collection of honey.

1:17 pm

joym999

sorry about that ungrammatical "it's"

1:17 pm

hokie carla

how dare you, joy 😛

1:18 pm

hokie carla

ok, that's what I was wondering, scrabbs

1:18 pm

MotherOwl

SOme places, if you leave the bees their honey they starve to death because rapeseed honey becomes crystals in winter, and they can't get water to dissolve it when it's below 10 Celsius.

1:18 pm

Scrabbler

Interesting.

1:21 pm

joym999

I'm in grammar jail now, hokie. Much worse than the PV.

1:27 pm

cybernan

hi again - interesting Sunday Morning show today

1:28 pm

hokie carla

yeah, I definitely feel worse when I'm in grammar jail than the PB

1:29 pm

joym999

email jail is even worse...that's when you accidently "reply all"

1:29 pm

Scrabbler

What topics, nan?

1:31 pm

cybernan

nterview with astronauts at the space station, with President Bush and with Rick Steeves

1:31 pm

Scrabbler

I listen to Rick Steves on NPR.

1:33 pm

hokie carla

If it's the same guy, I have watched him some on PBS

1:34 pm

Scrabbler

170 left and I see nothing. Maybe I will return tonight.

1:34 pm

cybernan

this was more about things he did during the last year when all of his travel plans and shows were cancelled

1:35 pm

hokie carla

ok, def. the same guy then

1:38 pm

cybernan

bye scrabbs

1:39 pm

Hi Tri

1:40 pm

Trifioso

hello all!

1:40 pm

joym999

Does the RE10 have any relationship to the RE8?

1:42 pm

cybernan

no - re 6-8-9-10 combo

1:42 pm

cybernan

want a clue?

1:42 pm

joym999

Is there only one RE8?

1:43 pm

Sophie214

ok. Day 4. Question. re 6 8 9 10 combo.....what does that even mean?

1:43 pm

Shirlockc

there's 2 re8

1:43 pm

cybernan

yes

1:43 pm

cybernan

that hey all have the same root word, sophie

1:43 pm

joym999

Sophie it means that there's a six letter RE word, and you add letters to get an 8, 9, and 10 letter word

1:43 pm

Sophie214

and they all START with re?

1:44 pm

cybernan

sorry re 8 x2

1:44 pm

joym999

yes. there are tons of RE words in this puzzle. this one is unusually large

1:45 pm

Trifioso

hello sophie! Glad to see you are still giving it a go

1:45 pm

Shirlockc

i got the 8/9 but not the 10 for the re set

1:45 pm

Trifioso

breezed through nbt - that is how it gets me, every time....

1:46 pm

cybernan

re 10 = without a purpose

1:46 pm

joym999

me too...I see the 6, 8, and 9 but not the 10

1:46 pm

joym999

thanks nan, that's what I wasn't seeing

1:46 pm

Shirlockc

hoo boy, cyber, thx

1:49 pm

cybernan

1:50 pm

Shirlockc

1:51 pm

cybernan

1:51 pm

Shirlockc

nope, it's an easy grid until those last few

1:52 pm

periwinkle

1:53 pm

Shirlockc

1:53 pm

periwinkle

1:53 pm

cybernan

1:54 pm

Shirlockc

lickety says se8/55

1:55 pm

Shirlockc

1:56 pm

periwinkle

hmm seabed or seabottom are not in the grid

1:56 pm

joym999

nice one shirlock

1:58 pm

periwinkle

1:58 pm

Sophie214

I've improved from terrible to bad.....so I'm taking a break and walk the dog.....my brain is hurting :)

MotherOwl

So many words today. 368 left!

2:00 pm

HarryHood

hi hi

2:01 pm

Shirlockc

does anyone have that sa5? and sa6? it's annoying me

2:01 pm

joym999

I've got 130 to go so I think it's time to face facts and let Lickety help me.

2:01 pm

periwinkle

not me

2:01 pm

MotherOwl

erase

2:01 pm

joym999

I don't believe that the SA words exist but I'm betting I'll be proven wrong.

2:02 pm

HarryHood

I have an sa6/18

2:02 pm

HarryHood

and now an sa5/10

2:03 pm

MotherOwl

It's a bit crazy. I found a word, I do not know the meaning of, clicked the boxed ? and ... not in the dictionary!

2:03 pm

ursh

sa 5/10 and 6/18 not related

2:03 pm

HarryHood

ty for both shirlock

2:03 pm

periwinkle

help with the sa5 andsa6 pls

2:03 pm

Trifioso

yes, that happens often, mother Owl - and its always frustrating

2:03 pm

joym999

just found the sa 6 by monkeying around

2:03 pm

HarryHood

sa5 is like billlionaire George, change first vowel

2:04 pm

ursh

sa + most of the the red love flower

2:04 pm

joym999

motherowl, the dictionary connected to the wordlist is not very good.

2:04 pm

MotherOwl

Whereas a normal word like Dane is not found in the dictionary - should I feel slighted?

2:04 pm

Shirlockc

bah, i thought i tried that sa5 combo many many times

2:05 pm

joym999

proper nouns are not allowed, motherowl

2:05 pm

periwinkle

got the sa5 ty

2:06 pm

MotherOwl

Thanks for the support. I felt stupid - as a non-native speaker. Thanks, I thought proper nouns were names, not demonyms.

2:06 pm

Trifioso

I don't think you should feel anything but proud! I would be hopeless babbling in French, god knows!

2:06 pm

penquis

time to list, i think....

2:08 pm

MotherOwl

Thanks, Trifioso.

2:08 pm

joym999

You're brave to even try this game if English is not your native language.

2:09 pm

Trifioso

I agree, joy! Full respect from me! And for all our babblers that are babbling in their second language!

2:09 pm

Biltong

Hi all. Does the re10 build off re6,8 and 9, please?

2:10 pm

joym999

more or less biltong

2:10 pm

ursh

yes it does

2:11 pm

Biltong

ty, joy and ursh

2:11 pm

MotherOwl

Thanks! I'll never ever fina all the words, but it's fun trying.

2:12 pm

joym999

Motherowl these grids are packed full of words most English speakers don't know, so if you get half the grid you're doing really well.

2:13 pm

Trifioso

to be honest, the only word I have learned here and then used in real life is probably etui.

2:13 pm

Shirlockc

certainly expanded my vocab

2:16 pm

Trifioso

it has for babbling, absolutely, but not a ton of carry over to real life. I guess I just don't talk about hawaiian geese and archaic scottish terms that much

2:17 pm

Shirlockc

or those multi-vowel combos

2:17 pm

Trifioso

or welsh. dear GOD, the welsh!

2:17 pm

72 Temple Owl

trif!

2:17 pm

joym999

I recently learned from this puzzle that "fard" means make-up, or to put on make-up, and I had a lot of fun with my family talking about why no one ever uses that word.

2:18 pm

Trifioso

temple owl!

2:18 pm

Shirlockc

does anyone have the pr7/32?

I have a section of a whiteboard in my classroom where I put a new word each week that I find fun or interesting for the students to learn. The absolute HIT this year was "tittynopes" which, hand to god, is the proper name for leftover crumbs on a table.

2:19 pm

72 Temple Owl

i'm sure they loved it

2:20 pm

I'm still looking for that sp7/8 nan was talking about

2:51 pm

gingentle

The only research you need to do is ask your primary care provider... should you get the vaccine? I am sure the answer will be a resounding YES! I have a number of friends and family who are healthcare professionals and ALL have been vaccinated and ALL urge everyone to do the same, as soon as possible! It is utter nonsense to do otherwise.

6:39 pm

HarryHood

ging, I have gotten both shots. but I have to tell you, that when somebody says something with such absolute certainty like "it's utter nonsense" - it makes me run for the exit.

6:40 pm

HarryHood

done!

6:40 pm

Lizlin

Good morning and congrats, Harry

6:41 pm

gingentle

We have vast numbers of half-witted sheep in this country who are actively spreading false information about the vaccine and the virus itself. I am of the opinion it should not be a choice. The polio vaccine was not a choice. And look what a marvelous result we have had! This pandemic is ongoing because of blatent stupidity and narcissism.

6:41 pm

HarryHood

People are just so damn sure of themselves. They say on facebook that you must be an idiot if you vote for the democrats, or a racist if you vote for the republicans. why can't we let people think for themselves and treat others' opinions with respect?

6:42 pm

HarryHood

yes. that's what I'm talking about. good night all!

6:43 pm

gingentle

I really should cease caring and simply pop some corn and watch Darwinian Law play out before me.

6:52 pm

MollyL

Thanks again Harry. It is amazing how many people have become COVID experts and vaccine experts.
