peri, means to turn into flesh. if someone is really evil, you say they are the devil incarnate. work from the ca4.

12:56 am

ursh

hahaha rose I thought it meant becoming more used to working in a circus environment :):)

12:56 am

justafreep

I feel like there's some obvious letter combo that will lead me to all my missing 8s.....

whoops Jax

7:32 am

JaxH66

Have you got the 9 mkg?

7:43 am

MollyL

If you have the last part of the 9, the first part starts like a place with a ferris wheel and games

7:44 am

JaxH66

I've got it thanks Molly - I was checking if mkg had it before I gave a clue

7:47 am

MollyL

Yep, that clue was for mkg

7:59 am

8:13 am

hokie carla

ok, today not starting out well. can't even get half of the first tile.

8:16 am

lynxxx

that's because the words are getting weirder & weirder

8:16 am

hokie carla

great

8:20 am

hokie carla

ugh, more k's

8:20 am

BzznBea

That ca9 is crazy.

8:21 am

lynxxx

and everyone knows the summer dwelling of the Inuits!

8:22 am

hokie carla

I guess I won't try then

8:22 am

MollyL

The definition for the ca9 is spooky

8:22 am

BzznBea

Yes, made me think of Daumer.

8:23 am

MollyL

The summer Inuit dwelling isn't even spelled right

8:25 am

hurshy

good morning, all

8:26 am

lynxxx

hi Hursh

8:26 am

BzznBea

Hello. hurshy

8:28 am

hurshy

well i found an odd tr7 & 8 but i still need 3 more of the top T and am rather bewildered

8:29 am

BzznBea

keep looking for the big combos

8:29 am

lynxxx

there is a very odd tr7/8 set probably before the one you found

8:29 am

hurshy

i don't see how it can be before what i found

8:30 am

hurshy

aha, yeah, i had found the first of the two sets

8:33 am

hurshy

As Annihilated!

8:36 am

hurshy

name that proper noun! famous perfume brand

8:37 am

rururocks

chanel

8:37 am

hurshy

ding ding ding!!!

8:38 am

lynxxx

(so close)

8:39 am

hurshy

to having channel?

8:40 am

hurshy

ohhh i see what you mean! :D

8:40 am

hurshy

thanks

8:42 am

hurshy

i started watching Netflix's show "The Irregulars" last night. i was highly distressed to hear the following words in Victorian London: "boyfriend", "racist", "posh", "psycho", and "clone".

8:44 am

MollyL

I sometimes wonder about writers. I catch this all the time. Language from the future being used in stories about the past.

8:44 am

rururocks

I'm more horrified to read news articles where the write uses acronyms to make points

8:45 am

rururocks

writer

8:45 am

hurshy

and the guy who created the show said it was his "dream project" that he'd been pitching for years. you'd think in such a case more effort would have been put into it. no wonder it got cancelled after one season.

8:47 am

hurshy

what do you mean ruru? can you give an example of that being done?

8:47 am

hurshy

not sure if i've seen that

8:48 am

rururocks

even on the CNN news site .. it's appalling .. on top of really poor editing and grammar. What happened to education of the english language

8:50 am

hurshy

Os Overturned!

8:53 am

MollyL

I see acronyms used in journalism all the time. It reeks of poor use of the English language. The saddest place to see acronyms is on resumes. There is a whole generation coming up that has no clue about business writing.

8:53 am

Jeff7

clue for those tr 7/8 combos pls

8:53 am

hokie carla

IKR

8:53 am

Jeff7

got the first i think

8:54 am

hurshy

the first tr7 makes me think of the dormouse's story about the girls who lived in a tr7 well

8:54 am

hurshy

the second rhymes with the woman Jane Eyre thought Mr Rochester wanted to marry

8:54 am

Jeff7

ty-i got the finance one

8:55 am

lynxxx

Wouldn't the use of acronyms follow the use in texting?

8:56 am

hurshy

well it depends on the acronym and context. i'm sure it's sensible for articles to mention the CDC and the WHO and stuff. normally using the whole name first before switching, but if it's well known enough i wouldn't quibble too much with omitting that step.

8:57 am

rururocks

just read one with NTA at the end of a sentence. Like we're all supposed to know what NTA is

8:57 am

hurshy

Not The Asshole? (from Reddit)?

8:57 am

Judi

Good morning, y'all. Clue for the CA9, please?

8:58 am

hurshy

oho, there's a ca9?

8:58 am

MollyL

The point is, not everyone knows what acronyms mean. Not even often used ones like CDC and WHO. If you want to communicate effectively, you use entire words.

8:58 am

Judi

NM. Just monkied it.

8:59 am

MollyL

I still stand by my original guess that DH stands for dickhead and not dear husband.

8:59 am

hurshy

the thing i dislike is when i follow a link to the website of a local news organization, which will mention town names and things, but have trouble figuring out what state they are based in

8:59 am

Judi

Bah ha ha ha ha!

9:01 am

hurshy

well Judi, would you mind cluing it since you found it?

9:01 am

MollyL

ca9...to make something fit for a place of ferris wheels and sideshows, plural

9:01 am

Judi

To form or turn into flesh = CA9

9:02 am

Judi

Molly's clue is better.

9:02 am

hurshy

ty!

9:02 am

Judi

53 left in the bucket. Most likely will not finish today. Uhg.

9:02 am

hurshy

they worked well as a team

9:02 am

MollyL

The whole flesh thing made me think of Frankenstein

9:09 am

rururocks

finally found the k's.. jeez

9:10 am

hurshy

which Ks do you mean? i am missing one

9:10 am

rururocks

guessing you need ki7

9:11 am

hurshy

ok thanks

9:11 am

hurshy

got it!

9:12 am

BzznBea

You would think as often as we have had K's lately, we would know them all. =)

9:15 am

rururocks

c's and p's to go.. whew. kind of stuck though

9:16 am

BzznBea

Ru, I loved the video of Buddy. He's a lucky dog.

9:17 am

rururocks

:D thanks.. he's having a blast here.. lots of exercise and tlc

9:17 am

hurshy

funny, i think i've never heard the phrase "lucky dog" used to refer to an actual dog

9:22 am

rururocks

I'm just as lucky as he is Bea, I'm nothing without a dog

9:30 am

hokie carla

oh snap, ruru used an acronym

9:32 am

hurshy

Es Exiled!

9:32 am

hurshy

Ns Nailed!

9:34 am

hurshy

phantoms: pinnacle and/or pinochle

9:35 am

Uneaixoise

So glad things are going so well with your new baby!! :-)

9:41 am

MLFAN17

i just saw a clue about jane arye i just looked it up and nothig starting with tr came up?

9:42 am

MollyL

That is because Hurshy said reminds her of, which could mean sounds like, which it does

9:42 am

hurshy

that's because it RHYMES WITH that character

9:42 am

hurshy

ergo it does not start with the same letters

9:42 am

hokie carla

molly can you please acknowledge ru's acronym and mark this date? 🤣

9:43 am

MLFAN17

got them

9:43 am

MollyL

Ergo ipso facto columbo oreo (Bones fans will recognize this)

9:44 am

MollyL

TLC...tender loving care...Ru...June 29, 2021

9:44 am

hokie carla

hmm, saw all the Bones episodes and don't remember. I'm guessing Booth said it?

9:45 am

hurshy

i'm Struggling with S

9:45 am

MLFAN17

nbt

9:45 am

MollyL

No, it was the episode where she thought her victim looked like her and the custodian kept saying that to her

9:45 am

hokie carla

ah

9:46 am

MollyL

I just re-watched Bones. I miss that show. Especially the Zach years.

9:47 am

MLFAN17

i miss that show too

9:48 am

MollyL

Some episodes were really hokey though, like when they went undercover as bowlers

9:48 am

swmbo

nest nets

9:48 am

MollyL

Cole coles!

9:49 am

MLFAN17

as the seasons went on the show did become somewhat lame at times

9:49 am

hokie carla

yeah, I loved Zach. I hated when they made him a psycho. spoiler alert!

9:49 am

rururocks

whew I thought your wrote boner

9:49 am

hokie carla

oh yeah, I forgot their bowler names

9:50 am

hokie carla

not my fave

9:53 am

BzznBea

cow and where they live in the grid today

9:54 am

hokie carla

hmm, sh5fin not a word

9:56 am

hokie carla

no field and no pasture

9:56 am

MLFAN17

100 words down

9:57 am

hokie carla

just passed halfway here

9:57 am

hokie carla

but gotta go

rani

10:00 am

marksdolly

and to you too!!

10:01 am

marksdolly

a rainy Tuesday here

10:01 am

moolingwa

sunny here, about 80 or so today

10:02 am

marksdolly

almost 80 here and quite humid with rain :)

10:02 am

moolingwa

yeah, not so humid here :)

10:08 am

MollyL

Heat index of 102 by 2 PM today. BLECH

10:08 am

marksdolly

ooohhhh that's miserable

10:09 am

origami

That's awful, Molly. Only about 100 here today, but dry.

10:10 am

MollyL

Bea and Carla have me remembering Breaking Bad when Jesse referred to a barn as a cow house
: D

10:11 am

MollyL

Yeah, I predict by noon the hair is going UP

10:11 am

origami

That was such a great TV show.

10:12 am

MollyL

My kids had to twist my arm to watch it. I figured a show about a drug-dealing man dying of cancer would be depressing. I'm glad they kept pushing.

10:12 am

mael

I never got into Breaking Bad

10:13 am

mael

my husband loved it but it's just not my thing

10:24 am

Uneaixoise

I've binge watched it 4 times!!

10:25 am

origami

I'm thinking about watching it again.

10:32 am

Dorens

It was the first show I ever bingewatched. Didn't start until the last season... watched the first four seasons in about two weeks. did little else!

10:35 am

MollyL

It is so much better to watch that way. Having to wait from week to week to see what happened was killer.

10:35 am

Dorens

true.. a show like that in particular

10:46 am

rururocks

I would think you'd avoid Breaking anything right now ori :D

10:47 am

MLFAN17

hello again

10:48 am

moolingwa

hey ML

10:49 am

mael

hah, I have a broken foot currently, do not recommend

10:49 am

MLFAN17

hey mool

10:49 am

Shirlockc

the AC isn't even doing much, it's been on all morning and stuck at 82

10:49 am

MLFAN17

i dont agree with sh 7/56 but we have had words like that many times before

10:49 am

rururocks

61 here and lovely outside

10:49 am

origami

Trur, Ru :D

10:49 am

MLFAN17

shirl stuck at 82???? brr

10:50 am

MLFAN17

at the moment it is 80 here but its supposed to get up to 90..not sure about humidity

10:50 am

MollyL

Brr? 82 degrees is hardly brr. I'd get that unit checked Shirl.

10:51 am

MLFAN17

it should be checked agreed

10:51 am

Shirlockc

i set it to 78 cause i'm cheap and don't like it too cold anyway, but yes, it's not good

10:52 am

rururocks

mine is set at 68

10:52 am

MLFAN17

we have ours at 77 and i always wear a sweatshirt or a jacket when its on

10:53 am

Shirlockc

for babble today been stuck at 85 lol

10:54 am

MLFAN17

85 to find?

10:54 am

Shirlockc

yep, 84 now

10:54 am

Shirlockc

maybe i'll quit when i get to 82

10:54 am

MLFAN17

congrats

10:55 am

Dorens

funny. I'm at 82. But not ready to quit yet

10:55 am

Jeff7

re Breaking Bad, if you haven't watched Better Call Saul, try that one. It's on a par quality-wise and deeper in some ways. It does help if you have watched BB but it's not mandatory to have done so.

10:55 am

rururocks

attaway doren.. don't let this crappy little grid get the best of you

10:55 am

Dorens

:)

10:56 am

MLFAN17

okay i gve up clue for the tu word pls?

10:56 am

Dorens

look at the score, mlf

10:56 am

rururocks

it's tupak's brother

10:56 am

Dorens

or it's kindalike the little wooden thing you might stick in your mouth

10:57 am

MLFAN17

he has a twin lol

10:58 am

MollyL

Sometimes it's like who's on first in here

10:58 am

MLFAN17

no who's on third

10:58 am

MollyL

Exactly

11:00 am

rururocks

gotta get to work now.. have fun you guys

11:00 am

MLFAN17

bye ruru

11:01 am

origami

Have a nice day, ru.

11:03 am

BzznBea

How's your arm, ori?

11:03 am

origami

It's getting better, Bea. Thanks.

11:06 am

Dorens

good to hear ori. Are you still doing the spelling bee?

11:07 am

origami

Yes, Dorens. I finally made Queen Bee the other day :D

11:09 am

Dorens

congratulations. After several of them, i've decided to be happy with genius.. too much time to do QB. Funny to see intel here today. not a word, but accepted in Sam's world

11:09 am

MollyL

*Wonders if we need to bow, or curtsey or something

11:09 am

MollyL

God Save The Queen!

11:09 am

origami

A curtsey would be appropriate :D

11:09 am

origami

I normally settle for amazing.

11:10 am

BzznBea

Is this a game on FB?

11:10 am

MollyL

I'm sure I wouldn't get past drone

11:10 am

MollyL

I think it's New York Times, Bea

11:11 am

Dorens

Much less time consuming! But genius is not so unattainable. Don't need to use Shunn, Kevin and the others. Sometimes helps to read peoples' clues though. New York Times Game, Bea

11:13 am

Dorens

sure you would Molly

11:27 am

Dorens

ok I made it to 20. Taking a break

11:34 am

MLFAN17

i got the 9

11:36 am

vashongin

12:01 pm

cybernan

good morning all - 10:00 am and 86F already -- another day of 110 heat

12:01 pm

cybernan

Our front door handle was so hot yesterday, you couldn't touch it unprotected

12:01 pm

HarryHood

already got back from the beach. we got there around 9:30, right before the parking lot filled.

12:02 pm

penquis

hi....it's 90 here and hotter inland....

12:02 pm

penquis

hi Harry....

12:02 pm

HarryHood

car thermometer hit 101 on the way back

12:02 pm

HarryHood

pen, nan

12:03 pm

cybernan

and muggy too, I'd bet, pen -- will be over 100 by lunch time here

12:03 pm

HarryHood

and yet I'm just burning more fossil fuels keeping everybody cool here. it will get worse and worse.

12:03 pm

penquis

yup....played two hours of tennis this morning indoors....hot but tolerable....

12:03 pm

cybernan

I wonder where those in climate change denial are now?

12:04 pm

HarryHood

friday we may not hit 70 though. sounds glorious

12:04 pm

HarryHood

and the ocean was FREEZING

12:05 pm

penquis

Hah!

12:05 pm

HarryHood

it hurt to swim

12:05 pm

penquis

i remember as a kid that my feet were numb when i went swimming in the ocean mid June....

12:06 pm

HarryHood

my legs were wobbly on the way out of the water

12:06 pm

penquis

ocean temp here today is 58....

12:06 pm

HarryHood

yikes!

12:08 pm

penquis

a little nippy... ;o)

12:08 pm

HarryHood

yes - I commented to my kids that it was a bit brisk.

12:09 pm

penquis

I have kind of hit a wall and still have 57 to find...

12:09 pm

HarryHood

still haven't finished my first pass through.

12:11 pm

72 Temple Owl

feels like nap time...must be the heat

12:13 pm

cybernan

missing 4 t's from the top corner - Have no more ideas

12:14 pm

HarryHood

12:14 pm

HarryHood

^5^ nan

12:14 pm

penquis

missing 3 here....

12:14 pm

BzznBea

There are two 7/8 combos from there

12:14 pm

HarryHood

I have one 7/8

12:14 pm

penquis

12:16 pm

cybernan

12:16 pm

penquis

12:16 pm

HarryHood

12:16 pm

HarryHood

yay us!

12:16 pm

cybernan

lol

12:17 pm

mael

I got the second combo, it's a pretty silly word

12:18 pm

mael

same point count, I just monkeyed it.

12:18 pm

cybernan

other than the t, I don't even know where to start mael

12:19 pm

cybernan

I'm assuming it is a tr

12:19 pm

BzznBea

tr + another word for a pain with an extra letter towards the end

12:20 pm

HarryHood

ty bea got it

12:20 pm

penquis

ty bea....done with those Ts....

12:20 pm

cybernan

ty bea -- wonder if it is a misspelling of the syrupy stuff

12:21 pm

cybernan

that knocks it down to 2 more from that tile

12:21 pm

penquis

defined as an exhausting effort...

12:21 pm

HarryHood

first pass done. 81 to go.

12:22 pm

penquis

54 here...

12:23 pm

cybernan

103 -- looking for 4's and 5's now

hokie carla

I toured a Cherokee village this morning and the weapons guy said atlatl several times. I was like, ha! I know that word!

1:47 pm

moolingwa

ooh, though technically the cherokee wouldn't have used that term I would imagine, I think it's greek

1:47 pm

hokie carla

yeah, I wondered about that

1:48 pm

moolingwa

oh, nope...it was from Aztecan

1:48 pm

moolingwa

Which are Aztecs, which lived in Mexico

1:48 pm

moolingwa

so there you go, linguistic lesson of the day

1:50 pm

hokie carla

the Cherokee traded with tribes up to New Brunswick and down to Machu Picchu so maybe they picked it up from the Aztecs.

1:50 pm

moolingwa

yeah, that would make sense...so then atlatl would be correct

1:51 pm

moolingwa

machu pichu would be a hike, they really went down that far huh?

1:52 pm

hokie carla

that's what they said

1:53 pm

moolingwa

2:13 pm

moolingwa

there's one pair that is used to describe batches of votes, that isn't that common, but still not what I'd consider weird

2:14 pm

moolingwa

I assume there's another couple that are longish from that t

2:14 pm

moolingwa

actually, s6 is the definition for f5 :)

4:08 pm

hokie carla

I don't have s6 either

4:09 pm

moolingwa

4:09 pm

the e is likely a 4

4:10 pm

hokie carla

yep, I thought the e4 was a phantom, but it's' there

4:11 pm

moolingwa

and your n's...probably different words, guessing perhaps a 6 and a 7..not related, though the 7 is related to the other 7

4:12 pm

moolingwa

and the o...going to guess o 6/7 combo

4:12 pm

hokie carla

moolingwa

I don't recall word streak

4:37 pm

moolingwa

it appears I have two videos up there

4:39 pm

hokie carla

saw another with word streak, it looks the same as scramble. I think it did predate scramble.

4:39 pm

moolingwa

I'm not the world's fastest scramble/word streak player

4:39 pm

moolingwa

I remember word streak now...I never liked that...hate "mousing"

4:40 pm

hokie carla

yeah, he was at the zynga offices so I assumed it wasn't you

4:40 pm

moolingwa

yeah, don't work for zynga

4:40 pm

hokie carla

I think it was an app too, so no mousing

4:41 pm

moolingwa

well mousing in the sense that you use your finger...it's mousing to me :)

4:41 pm

hokie carla

I see

4:41 pm

moolingwa

I prefer typing

4:42 pm

hokie carla

was scramble a facebook app? I think I started it there and then mostly played on ipad. so I typed on computer and finger-moused on ipad/iphone.

4:42 pm

moolingwa

yes, facebook app

4:42 pm

moolingwa

was around I think from about 2005-2009 or so

4:43 pm

hokie carla

4:44 pm

moolingwa

4:45 pm

welki

ok, so give - where can we find the videos?

4:45 pm

hokie carla

yeah, there was another site I played too but I cannot remember what that was

4:45 pm

moolingwa

it's on youtube...search my serpentine name and scramble

4:45 pm

hokie carla

yeah, he could at least tell us the title of the video

4:47 pm

hokie carla

I like how you spelled scramble wrong in one of them

4:47 pm

moolingwa

i think morewords was another one...but may be misremembering

4:47 pm

moolingwa

yeah, wasn't really putting them up there for wide consumption

4:47 pm

moolingwa

but that was just a typo

4:48 pm

moolingwa

tangle was good tho

4:48 pm

hokie carla

you know I'm just messing with you

4:49 pm

4:52 pm

hokie carla

I used to play Scrabble on FB with my dad, who played on my mom's FB. that was nice to be able to do that. but then it was Lexolous and then WWF and I didn't like those.

4:52 pm

moolingwa

yeah lexolous was originally scrabble...until they got a note from Hasbro

4:53 pm

moolingwa

that's actually why I got on facebook, to play lexolous

4:53 pm

hokie carla

yep

4:53 pm

moolingwa

I don't like playing scrabble against people I know though...

4:53 pm

dcseain

WWF got worse and worse through time.

4:53 pm

hokie carla

agreed

4:53 pm
