3:03 am

saanichcat

3:04 am

saanichcat

I hope someone on this board sees this and can call him

3:08 am

6:28 am

ItalianGreyhound

Mornin, Bea

6:28 am

MollyL

Yes, but do6 is obsolete, like mashie

6:29 am

ItalianGreyhound

tempted to start golf puns, but resisting

6:29 am

BzznBea

This grid should be obsolete.

6:29 am

MollyL

I have heard of do6 ending in R as French

6:31 am

MollyL

Bea, how was your birthday?

6:31 am

BzznBea

It was quiet. Just like I like them.

6:34 am

BzznBea

Mr. Bea did get me some cool gifts. I got an hour in a float tank and also a whole body cryotherapy.

6:35 am

ItalianGreyhound

OK I give - "Had to return my new shoes because there was a hole-in-one"

6:36 am

BzznBea

One of my girlfriends gave me a sign. "Dirty Hoe Garden Supply. You'll love out tulips." LOL!

6:47 am

MollyL

That sign is GREAT. And Mr. Bea did give you great gifts. He is such a keeper.

6:49 am

7:07 am

MollyL

Just don't go all Altered States on us Bea
: D

7:08 am

BzznBea

I'm just wondering if I can do nothing but float for an hour.

7:09 am

MollyL

You have to go to your zen place. I have not found mine yet

7:16 am

rururocks

7:20 am

MollyL

Any beach is pretty zen for me. I haven't been in a long time

7:28 am

rururocks

7:31 am

BzznBea

7:32 am

BzznBea

He took us out to eat last night.

7:32 am

BzznBea

Family coming in tonight.

7:33 am

BzznBea

I should qualify that. They are coming to visit not for my birthday.

7:33 am

MollyL

An all weekend birthday. The best kind.

7:36 am

MollyL

I have some very happy birds out back, chowing down on seed.

7:36 am

rururocks

aw shit make it a birthday month bea :D

7:39 am

MollyL

I work with a woman who had such a good time on her birthday she decided she was going to celebrate on the 11th of the month all year. Every 11th I wish her "Happy Birthday Again"

7:40 am

BzznBea

That's funny.

7:40 am

rururocks

i like my birthdays low key too.. i get it.. I've had plenty of them :D

7:43 am

rururocks

I'm trying to figure out the point of the fallout shelter sign

7:43 am

BzznBea

That's where I go when the clue bombs start falling. =)

7:45 am

Uneaixoise

Happy belated birthday, Bea!!

7:45 am

BzznBea

Thanks, Une.

7:50 am

MollyL

That is hilarious Bea. People have gotten very blurty lately

7:53 am

rururocks

I like that word Blurty

7:54 am

rururocks

there should be clue limits per person.. just a thought

7:54 am

hokie carla

giving or receiving limits?

7:54 am

MollyL

Asking limits

7:54 am

BzznBea

I'm sure there will be a lot of asks for all the single letters today.

7:54 am

rururocks

I was thinking receiving but giving would be good too

7:56 am

MLFAN17

is anyone going aa 5 with this grid yet?lol

7:56 am

hokie carla

aw, chewbacca in the grid today

7:57 am

rururocks

so is the forest from LOTR

7:57 am

BzznBea

Look at you, using an acronym!

7:57 am

MollyL

Speaking of blurting...

7:58 am

hokie carla

LOL at the acronym and the blurting

7:58 am

MollyL

I know, I did a double take at who posted that

7:59 am

hokie carla

plus I didn't know he was a LOTR fan

7:59 am

rururocks

oh I am.. love those books

8:00 am

MollyL

There are actually people who don't know that LOTR stands for Lord of The Rings, Or HP for Harry Potter

8:00 am

rururocks

I would have spelled out Harry Potter

8:01 am

hokie carla

there are people that don't know a lot of things

8:01 am

MollyL

He doesn't like The Princess Bride though. So there is something fundamentally wrong with him.

8:01 am

hokie carla

true

8:01 am

rururocks

that's because I don't care for Anne Hathaway :D

8:02 am

hokie carla

I have never seen Princess Diaries

8:02 am

rururocks

me neither

8:02 am

MollyL

The ex ruined him with The Princess Diaries. He doesn;t know one from the other

8:03 am

hokie carla

I almost saw a word but it was mirage

8:03 am

rururocks

so would a large male member be an orgain?

8:07 am

MollyL

Krimp...what they do to the Kruller dough at Krispy Kreme

8:10 am

hokie carla

(drooling)

8:10 am

hokie carla

(at the kruller dough, not the orgain)

8:14 am

crosshair

Krispy Kreme stores are still a novelty here. Currently there are 11 stores in Canada (six in Toronto, four in Quebec, and one shop in B.C) Every once in a blue moon prepackaged Krispy Kreme doughnuts will show up in our local Wallymart, but they are not the best tasting things, and I do not understand the hype over them.

8:15 am

hokie carla

well, when you get them hot off the presses from a store, they are amazing

8:15 am

hokie carla

and how could there be any there with Tim Horton everywhere?

8:15 am

crosshair

Next time I am down in T.O, I may have to try one.

8:16 am

hokie carla

look for the Hot Doughnuts Now sign to be on

8:16 am

crosshair

Timmies is our hearty and soul when it comes to take out coffee and doughnuts.

8:16 am

crosshair

heart

8:17 am

crosshair

though sadly in recent years all the doughnuts are par-bake and ship to the outlets that way for finishing.

8:18 am

hokie carla

I was listening to a podcast of a murder case in canada and the number of times TH was mentioned made me laugh

8:18 am

crosshair

Also, as a northern boy, every time I drive in Toronto, I need at least two days to recover afterwards.

8:19 am

crosshair

Timmies is such a thing, I am surprised they do not offer to host weddings and such.

8:21 am

hokie carla

well I think in this country there's a big divide between DD and KK

8:22 am

crosshair

I have heard of D.D but never been to one.

8:22 am

BzznBea

I'd rather have Daylight donuts.

8:23 am

hokie carla

never heard of that one bea. local?

8:23 am

BzznBea

Midwestern, I think. Was in my hometown.

8:24 am

hokie carla

Do you have Duck Donuts? Started in Duck, NC (OBX) but we have in Charlotte now.

8:24 am

hokie carla

Ah

8:25 am

BzznBea

I've never seen a Ducks. Maybe in Raleigh.

8:25 am

crosshair

lol @ "Ducking Doughnuts."

8:25 am

crosshair

sorry, "donuts"

8:26 am

BzznBea

Yes, one in Raleigh and one in Durham.

8:26 am

hokie carla

wow, duck donuts has spread way farther than I knew - there are some out west

8:28 am

hokie carla

I should've asked french toast last night what she thought about it

8:29 am

BzznBea

Off to prep for pre teen girls.

8:29 am

hokie carla

fun

8:30 am

hurshy

wow, forest from the Hobbit is here, but i won't NTPN it because it is a compound word whose parts both count

8:31 am

hokie carla

well, how about chewbacca then

8:31 am

hokie carla

or the teacher in Karate Kid

8:31 am

hurshy

technically that has two Es

8:32 am

hokie carla

ah, you are correct. I bow to your extreme nerdness.

8:32 am

hurshy

and the latter has a y

8:32 am

hokie carla

I knew you were going to say that as soon as I posted it

8:33 am

hurshy

mirage is a mirage

8:33 am

crosshair

Bit of a Crossy tidbit for you that this "doughnut" conversation reminded me of: Did you know that if you are sending off a book for consideration by a U.S publishing firm, the writer must remove all instances of "Canadianisms," donut instead of doughnut, arbor instead of arbour, theater instead of theatre, Yogurt instead of yoghurt. The list goes on and on, but you must cull your work to remove all trace of them.

8:33 am

hokie carla

ha! you can't take that one away from me

8:34 am

hokie carla

that is interesting, crossy. I read british books that have all those things. one of them I didn't know until I saw kerb for curb and I was like, WTH is that?

8:35 am

crosshair

lol, yup bonnet and boot and all the others.

8:35 am

hurshy

yeah i specially went out of my way to order the HP series from amazon.co.uk so i could get the Philosopher's Stone and all the other correct british items

8:35 am

hokie carla

also, donut is not standard american english. I use doughnut unless it's in the name of the place.

8:35 am

crosshair

lol, many people did the same, Hurshy.

8:36 am

hurshy

that is what i was thinking too hokie

8:36 am

hokie carla

even the american versions of HP had new to me stuff - for instance, trainers

8:36 am

crosshair

Though either form does not take away from the reading experience for me.

8:37 am

hurshy

is the k a 4? my monkeying has thus far been unsuccessful

8:37 am

hokie carla

haven't found it yet either

8:37 am

Scrabbler

Good morning, word freaks.

8:37 am

phaeton

clue for ra7?

8:37 am

hokie carla

morning, scrabs

8:37 am

hurshy

morning scrabs

8:37 am

Shirlockc

morning all, started with finding the 2 7s

8:37 am

hokie carla

don't have the 7 either

8:38 am

Scrabbler

Good for you, shirlock.

8:38 am

hokie carla

amazing, shirl, there's just one 7!

8:38 am

hurshy

lol

8:38 am

Scrabbler

My oldest great-nephew just turned 9 and will soon be ready for HP. I will buy him the book set.

8:38 am

crosshair

My issue is having to change dictionaries in my electric word cruncher so it does not keep flagging Canadian spellings as I type. I would rather "fix" them afterwards if need be,

8:38 am

Shirlockc

hahahah, one 7 and one 6, my eyes are going

8:39 am

Scrabbler

Haha.

8:39 am

crosshair

it is the perfect series to get a youngster thoroughly hooked on reading, Scrabby!

8:39 am

hurshy

ok i found the 7

8:40 am

Scrabbler

He has been reading abridged classics: The Three Musketeers, Robin Hood, etc.

8:40 am

hokie carla

true, my oldest son loves reading and he loved loved that set

8:42 am

hurshy

somehow we all managed to get to love reading before it was published though lol

8:42 am

hokie carla

true

8:42 am

Shirlockc

amusing that enable allowed a5/16

8:43 am

hokie carla

well, I always try it as a4, so when the 5 is here I know it

8:43 am

hurshy

i assume the plural of it is what you mistook for your "second 7"?

8:44 am

hurshy

oh no wait that's 5/18 and plural so you must mean something else

8:44 am

DS927

hurshy - K is not a 4

8:44 am

Shirlockc

we're talking about a diff a5, i was referring to the a 5/16, not the 18, unless there is 2 a5/18

8:44 am

hurshy

what is it, DS927? :)

8:45 am

DS927

ko 5/18

8:45 am

hokie carla

were you going to clue the 7 for phae or not? (don't want to it going against my clue requests limit)

8:45 am

hurshy

i didn't realize phae had asked for it

8:45 am

hokie carla

thanks DS927

8:45 am

Shirlockc

the 7 is a lot of pieces of useless cloth

8:46 am

hurshy

ty DS!

8:46 am

DS927

I just can't find a good way to clue it

8:46 am

hurshy

that's ok we are good monkeyers, i got it

8:47 am

crosshair

I will clue if people request it. If someone is just starting, and does not wish clues, they can do what I do and just turn the chat off till they get down to the last few words.

8:47 am

hokie carla

like a goldfish with egyptian god thrown in the middle

8:47 am

Scrabbler

TY, monkey found ko5 and ra7.

8:48 am

DS927

Good one hokie!

8:48 am

crosshair

ty for ko5

8:48 am

hurshy

i think hokie wanted the 7 clue but she doesn't want to have to ask for it because she is limiting her number of clue requests lol

8:48 am

crosshair

ty for ra7

8:48 am

hokie carla

before you got here there was talk of a clue request limit

8:49 am

hurshy

*eyeroll*

8:49 am

Scrabbler

What is the limit? Does the limit change with the word total?

8:49 am

Shirlockc

interesting hokie, i usually look for clues in the chat if i want to, and ignore otherwise

8:49 am

MLFAN17

ty for the 7

8:50 am

hokie carla

also, is ra7 plural? because I have tried every piece of cloth combo letters possible to make a 6/7 set, but maybe that's the problem

8:50 am

crosshair

Yes! with a 744 we should be allowed 100 request, whereas with a 50 word wonder we should only be allowed one?

8:50 am

hurshy

it's plural with no singular

8:50 am

Shirlockc

what hurshy just typed

8:50 am

Scrabbler

A % is best.

8:50 am

hokie carla

there weren't any "rules" laid out, just some fun talk

8:51 am

hokie carla

that's so weird, because I know I typed that word multiple times earlier and it wouldn't take

8:52 am

hurshy

Gs Garrotted!

8:52 am

hokie carla

and agreed a % is better than a flat rate. have we ever had a 744?

8:53 am

MLFAN17

yes we have

8:53 am

crosshair

whoever played with marbles as a child, there is a word in here that is the 7 minus a letter.

8:53 am

hurshy

um, i'm just now realizing i may have had a dream recently that we had a 768 this week and that it may not have been real

8:53 am

hokie carla

geez louise

8:53 am

Scrabbler

Ha, I recently finished a book in which the murderer garrotted the victim.

8:54 am

MLFAN17

i dont remember a thing about it though

8:54 am

Shirlockc

lol hurshy, i think the biggest grid is in the 400s

8:54 am

Scrabbler

Nice dream, hurshy.

8:54 am

hurshy

no, we have had quite large ones shirl

8:54 am

Scrabbler

I think 535 has been our largest.

8:54 am

crosshair

Fr those who are interested, I have the "744' made into a jigsaw puzzle, and you can play it on Jigidi.

8:54 am

MLFAN17

hurshy were you here for the 744?

8:54 am

hokie carla

there's someone that keeps a spreadsheet, maybe she'll poke her head in and tell us

8:55 am

Scrabbler

744, oh, yes.

8:55 am

Retired PJs

cross, i did that puzzle recently - it was cool, thanks!

8:55 am

MLFAN17

yes scrab you remember it

8:55 am

hurshy

i'm sure i was, i've been here so long

8:55 am

crosshair

ll, good stuff, retired!

8:55 am

Scrabbler

Lickety's page has all of the stats.

8:55 am

Shirlockc

wow, i just looked at the stats, 744 words on april 21

8:56 am

hokie carla

it must've been during my several year hiatus

8:56 am

hokie carla

wait, this april 21?\

8:56 am

crosshair

no, a few years ago now.

8:56 am

Scrabbler

The year is not listed.

8:56 am

MLFAN17

no a few years ago not sure when exactly

8:56 am

Shirlockc

no year, just the date

8:56 am

hokie carla

yeah, while I was gone

8:57 am

hokie carla

phantom dowager

8:57 am

MLFAN17

scrab do you remember anything about it?

8:57 am

crosshair

Yu can See Mimi, and that delightful old lady who lived in france. Both were still with us when the 744 was in progress and I took that screen shot.

8:58 am

Scrabbler

I remember the 744 and Crossy talking about making T-shirts.

8:58 am

MLFAN17

lol

8:59 am

crosshair

lol, scrabby. i decided a jig-saw puzzle would be a bit more fun.

8:59 am

rururocks

you mean Rubyfoo crossy?

8:59 am

Scrabbler

Nice.

8:59 am

crosshair

yes, Ruby. I miss her still.

8:59 am

hokie carla

finally got half on each tile. that upper O was easier than I was making it.

8:59 am

Scrabbler

I miss her, and FMitch, and Renny...

9:00 am

MLFAN17

i miss ruby and annie

9:02 am

crosshair

My Ruby Tuesday. I used to make her chuckle by calling her my 'exotic French girlfriend."

9:03 am

hurshy

ugh, my opinion of lewis hamilton just went down

9:03 am

Scrabbler

Yes, Annie. I still have her email listed.

9:04 am

hurshy

OOOOOHHHHHHHHHH my

9:06 am

rururocks

i miss Annie a lot.. she was one very cool lady.. FMitch used to crack me up Renny I didn't know

9:07 am

Scrabbler

Annie prayed for my kids with cancer.

9:08 am

Uneaixoise

Annie was such a special lady.....

9:09 am

Scrabbler

So kind and generous. She remembered the names of the kids and asked how they were progressing.

9:14 am

Scrabbler

38 left and I need a break. Maybe I will return tonight. Enjoy the day.

9:14 am

crosshair

have a good day, Scrabby.

9:15 am

Scrabbler

Maybe I will hike later. We have had heavy rains for 3 days and I need to get into the woods.

9:16 am

rururocks

you ever worry about ticks and lyme disease scrabs?

9:16 am

crosshair

Just got my second jab and feeling punky, no hike for me today

9:17 am

cybernan

good morning everyone :) Do you have any fires close to you ru?

9:17 am

Scrabbler

Every day, ruru. You will feel better in a day or two, Crossy.

9:17 am

hokie carla

9:17 am

rururocks

nothing here nan.. there are some further north that are pretty bad

9:17 am

crosshair

9:17 am

hokie carla

hey nan

9:17 am

crosshair

9:18 am

cybernan

I don't know how there is anything left of CA to burn.

9:18 am

Scrabbler

Still wear a mask when indoors and stay away from people. This delta variant is the worst of them all so far.

9:18 am

9:44 am

penquis

misspelling of a common sea creature....***b....

9:47 am

cybernan

hokie carla

maybe common kitchen appliance (not in ru's kitchen and probably not nan's but surely she's heard of it) mi* oven, change cons to sound alike with high points and change last vowel

9:51 am

penquis

i am referring to a different sea creature...

I woke up at sunri 4/4 this morning and started grid. I have just one word left so here is a story for babblers who live ne 4/4 and far from me.I used to know a girl in college named Mag5/18 who was really unique.She had sleep ap 5/12. She snored so loud that everybody in the do 4/6 could hear her even w/the do 4/5 shut. She also had weird eating habits. She ate Froot Loops every morning for breakfast.She would also put a ton of gr6/27 in the bowl with the cereal & the milk. Her snacks consisted of pe 4/5 slices that she dipped into mustard and maple syrup mixed together. She always wore the same pa 4/5 of shoes every day.Her clothes were so ripped up that it looked like she was wearing ra4/6.She had very bad eye si4/7t so she wore purple glasses. She also did not have very good hygiene and never wore deod5/12ant. She never washed her face either. She walked around with dirt and gr 5/1 on her face. People would gr 5/16 about her lack of hygiene after they had class with her. People would make fun of her and tell jokes about her with a sm 4/9 on their face. Was pa 4/4ful listening to them bad mouth her. Others thought she did not have a very good gr4/7 on reality because she was so different & weird.One day I was studying in the pa 4/9 and it started to ra 4/4. I got up to go when she just appeared out of nowhere. She said to me, "here, I have an extra umbrella. Let's walk back together". After that I got to know her and I ga4/6ed a new friend.I appreciated her uniqueness, but everyone else still thought she was a do4/9. Well that wr4/9s up my story. Now I am going to go watch the movie Planet of the Ap4/5. I will be back later on toni4/7t to enter my final word and clue some more.
