78 down and got both 7s I am way past bed time though nite all

4:44 am

MollyL

I guess if I made overcoats or hunting jackets, I would know the me7.

6:38 am

BzznBea

Ohhh! Thanks for the clue, Molly.

6:57 am

dauber

Heh...just accidentally found an lo5 I've never heard of by typing the wrong thing...

6:57 am

Uneaixoise

Not measure.....hmm.... another clue please :-)

6:58 am

BzznBea

It's a 6/7 combo What ice does + not off

6:58 am

dauber

Thanks, Bea!

7:06 am

Scrabbler

TY, Bea.

7:06 am

Scrabbler

Dauber, finding a word by accident is fun.

7:10 am

Uneaixoise

Tx Bea!

7:11 am

BzznBea

yw all

7:23 am

BzznBea

Hmm. Both electrical units are in the grid today.

7:24 am

Scrabbler

TY. I needed a nudge after hitting a wall.

7:33 am

MollyL

There are more than two words for electrical units
: D

7:58 am

dauber

i can think of six electrical units off the top of my head but can only find one in the grid!

7:59 am

Scrabbler

oh4 and mh4

7:59 am

Shirlockc

thx for the 2nd one scrab

8:00 am

dauber

Thanks, Scrab! Now there are seven in my vocabulary. :)

8:00 am

Scrabbler

Physics rocks.

8:03 am

dauber

So far in life, what I remember from high school physics has helped me in nothing more than Babble. :)

8:03 am

HarryHood

I though geology rocks.

8:04 am

dauber

no

8:04 am

dauber

just no

8:04 am

dauber

You gotta be stoned to say that.

8:05 am

BzznBea

Excitement here this morning. Alvin Johnson Jr, also known as Chip, has his tree servive , Chipmunk's Tree Service, taking down 7 trees.

8:05 am

Scrabbler

Where is ruru? The puns have begun.

8:05 am

dauber

You can actually thank my high school physics teacher for that. He was the pun master of the universe.

8:06 am

dauber

One of the biggest mistakes I ever made in my life was come back with a retort to one of his puns. It still stings 30 years later.

8:10 am

MollyL

They are cutting down trees left and right in my development. It makes me sad.

8:11 am

Shirlockc

we don't need to be pumice-d by puns

8:12 am

HarryHood

talc talc talc that's all I ever hear.

8:12 am

dauber

Geez. I have to deal with Babble giving me a sedimentary lifestyle.

8:12 am

Shirlockc

it's a lava-ly way to start this morning

8:13 am

BzznBea

These trees have to come out. They hardly have any roots in the ground anymore. One good hurricane and they will fall on the neighbor's house.

8:13 am

HarryHood

sedimentary lifestyle! I love that - like something from archie bunker

8:13 am

dauber

That's the thing...I couldn't ever live in peace with a lot of trees around me. One falls and there goes my house.

8:14 am

HarryHood

27 to go. gotta get stuff done! bye!

8:14 am

dauber

27 here too.

8:14 am

dauber

Hasta!

8:14 am

mael

I just got a really weird no5

8:15 am

dauber

(Uhh....hasta to Harry...I'm sticking around)

8:15 am

Scrabbler

Bye

8:15 am

dauber

mael - is it a plural by any chance?

8:15 am

mael

nope

8:15 am

BzznBea

Wait until you get the 7's...

8:16 am

mael

oh boy

8:16 am

BzznBea

There quite a few weird words today.

8:17 am

mael

please tell the the Cs are not CWs...

8:17 am

dauber

They're not CWs, but one of them is kind of weird.

8:17 am

BzznBea

No CW

8:17 am

mael

or the one C I'm missing, rather

8:18 am

mael

too bad we can't have cahoot

8:18 am

BzznBea

That is a weird one...The one you are missing. It's a 5.

8:19 am

BzznBea

Close, but no cigar...

8:20 am

mael

oh there it is. Thanks

8:20 am

BzznBea

It's a bird.

8:21 am

mael

I remember some of the weird birds but never that one

8:22 am

dauber

OMG, I can't believe it took me so long with the Os on top. Classic puzzle words.

8:22 am

mael

I still don't have an E from the top corner so I won't judge...

8:22 am

dauber

Most of the Es are difficult. Judge away. :)

8:23 am

Scrabbler

CLue for the c5 bird please? My monkey has tried everything.

8:24 am

BzznBea

ca+ question word

8:25 am

Scrabbler

I found it on the word list.

8:27 am

MLFAN17

the question word isnt working for me?

8:27 am

Uneaixoise

CA + *** now brown cow?

8:27 am

Scrabbler

When, where, why, what, ___...

8:28 am

MLFAN17

scrab i thought it was the last one you just mentioned

8:29 am

Scrabbler

42 left and I am done. See you tomorrow.

8:30 am

Uneaixoise

Byeeee!

8:30 am

MollyL

Good clue Une

8:31 am

MollyL

And no one said ...it's a plane...it's SUPERMAN!

8:33 am

cherlyq

only got t's and w's left

8:33 am

dauber

aaaaand fw

8:34 am

MollyL

***Thinks dauber was a cheerleader in a former life

8:37 am

dauber

Heh. Sure wish that former life's cheerleader body followed me into this life!

8:39 am

BzznBea

Went down a rabbit ho4...Patty Duke. What a life!

8:41 am

hurshy

idea for a new brand of breath-freshener: Elemints

8:43 am

rururocks

I find that those damn pom poms always get in the way dauber

8:44 am

MollyL

What brought up Patty Duke?

8:44 am

BzznBea

My news feed.

8:45 am

dauber

Call her Anna.

8:46 am

MollyL

Her granddaughters look a lot like her

8:46 am

BzznBea

There were four men who could have been her son', Sean's father.

8:46 am

BzznBea

Anna Marie

8:47 am

BzznBea

She was married to John Astin, Gomez of The Addams Family.

8:48 am

MollyL

Yeah, but ending up with Gomez as a Dad is cool

8:48 am

hokie carla

so was he MacKenzie's (sp?) dad for sure?

8:48 am

dauber

Or the host of Pig in a Poke!

8:50 am

MollyL

No, Michael Tell was his father but he always thought of Astin as Dad

8:52 am

MollyL

Who is MacKenzie?

8:52 am

hokie carla

I always thought one of them was John's kid and the other took his name, now bea's telling us neither might be?

8:53 am

MollyL

Oh his brother, yeah he was John Astin's kid

8:53 am

hokie carla

oh, I thought you were answering me

8:53 am

hokie carla

ok, he looks kinda like John, so that makes sense

8:54 am

rururocks

did patty duke pass away or something?

8:54 am

MollyL

A while ago. I don't know why she came up on Bea's news feed

9:05 am

mael

hooray, the FDA just fully approved the pfizer vaccine

9:06 am

rururocks

that's great news.. maybe a lot more people will get vaccinated now

9:06 am

hurshy

👍

9:07 am

hokie carla

hopefully, but probably anyone that's refused so long will come up with another excuse

9:09 am

hurshy

idk, i know there have been people getting it within the last couple months because so many other people have had it and there have been such a teeny percentage of bad side effects, they now felt like it is safe. obviously there are the "trump is still president" crowd who will probably always refuse, but i think there is a substantial group of people who had what they felt were rational concerns

9:09 am

BzznBea

Mr. Bea's uncle, who was two years old than Mr. Bea, died this weekend from C-19. He had been vaccinated.

9:10 am

hurshy

oh man, i'm so sorry bea

9:11 am

Uneaixoise

Wh5 after "not black"? .....already have "entire"

9:11 am

hurshy

"... that wh5ever believeth in him shall not perish"

9:11 am

Uneaixoise

So sorry to hear, Bea. :-(

9:11 am

rururocks

that's scary bea.. so sorry

9:12 am

Uneaixoise

Tx hursh!

9:13 am

BzznBea

Thanks. I'm off to be productive today...I hope.

9:13 am

mab

that's shocking, bea; so very sorry.

9:14 am

hokie carla

sorry, bea

9:17 am

hurshy

what do the 7s start with?

9:19 am

Uneaixoise

Me and wo

9:20 am

hurshy

thanks - got wo! bit silly of a combo, which i had tried sn4+second part earlier

9:21 am

hurshy

got me!

9:21 am

hurshy

4-5-4

9:21 am

hurshy

i have a pair of C words, does anyone have whatever the other one is?

9:22 am

mael

oh dear, I just got the wo7. That's not a real word!

9:22 am

hurshy

don't you think sn4+second part would seem more legit?

9:22 am

mael

absolutely

9:32 am

MollyL

Well, there are other meanings of w7 besides what goes on your head

9:33 am

hurshy

when you click the ? it doesn't find it in the dictionary

9:34 am

hurshy

aha, but googling it is more productive

9:34 am

hurshy

or in my case Ecosia-ing

9:39 am

MollyL

Or doing an Ecosia search

10:03 am

bleugirl2

Clue for the ME por favor

10:07 am

Trifioso

hurshy

10:12 am

Trifioso

i can't even find the first pair. does it have that welsh thing going on?

10:15 am

72 Temple Owl

saanichcat

Trifioso

10:16 am

72 Temple Owl

10:17 am

Trifioso

10:17 am

10:17 am

72 Temple Owl

10:18 am

saanichcat

yw hurshy, glad to hear you are Ok after the storm

10:18 am

hurshy

yeah, it was very mild here and we didn't lose power

10:18 am

72 Temple Owl

i found a small seedling from mine, two years after it fell. very nosalgic

10:19 am

72 Temple Owl

but i must dig it out before it's too established. it's amazing how strong the roots are on tiny trees!

10:19 am

Trifioso

car.eeyore was saying yesterday that she is worried that next time people wlll not prepare, feeling like the meteorologists cry wolf too often. I figure smart people will always prepare, idiots will always be idiots

10:19 am

Trifioso

oh, can't it stay where it is, TO?

10:20 am

72 Temple Owl

no, it's right behind the garage near the wall

10:20 am

Trifioso

oh no then. def in the wrong spot

10:20 am

72 Temple Owl

really no place to put it.

10:20 am

Trifioso

there is something so charming about tiny trees.

10:21 am

72 Temple Owl

it's a tulip poplar

10:22 am

mab

we had wind and continue to have poor internet connectivity - not fatal, but vexing. that ca is 5-22 and comes before the abel's brother pair

10:22 am

cybernan

10:22 am

72 Temple Owl

bleugirl2

10:24 am

bleugirl2

doh!

10:24 am

saanichcat

hi nan!

10:24 am

Trifioso

hello nan!

10:25 am

Trifioso

bleugirl I like your icon

10:26 am

Trifioso

wow, that ca5 took some monkeying!

10:26 am

bleugirl2

Thanks! I am a yogi and follower of hindu philosophy

10:27 am

Trifioso

I am hardly a yogi, but a huge yoga participant

10:27 am

cybernan

new weekly chuckle being posted when I finish this -- so far only Molly has taken up the challenge.

10:27 am

MollyL

No, Soodle did too

10:28 am

cybernan

oh - will have to look at soodle's profile

10:29 am

Trifioso

that did make me chuckle, cybernan, good one!

10:29 am

cherlyq

fire works

10:29 am

Trifioso

huzzah for cheryl!!!!

10:29 am

cherlyq

thanks

10:30 am

cherlyq

I kept wanting bigger words lol

10:30 am

Trifioso

the smile on the little human in your picture is so adorable, cheryl!

10:36 am

cybernan

does anyone remember how to find someone in the rankings list?

10:37 am

cherlyq

are you seeing the one of me with my brothers or the one of my grandson Connell?

10:37 am

cherlyq

if the first the little human is me lol

10:37 am

hurshy

control-F will find any text string, cnan

10:37 am

cybernan

ty hurshy

10:38 am

Trifioso

oh goodness, now I am embarrassed, I saw that as a child, but when I zoomed in, clearly it is not. Well. You have a LOVELY smile

10:39 am

cherlyq

thanks I was really glad to take that pick, first time I had seen my older brother in 30 yrs

10:40 am

Trifioso

holy cow! No wonder you are so happy! A photo to treasure

10:42 am

Trifioso

somedays, like today, I find babble so amazing. A player can stare at the grid for an hour, and STILL see words that have been there the wh5 time, but suddenly pop out. The brain is a wonder

10:42 am

MollyL

Cheryl's new nickname: LIttle human

10:43 am

cherlyq

yeah well 5'3 compared to both brothers over 6 foot glad no ones head got cut off in that picture lol

10:43 am

Trifioso

your poor mother!

10:44 am

cybernan

loved soodle's story :)

10:48 am

cherlyq

our other brother was 5 11 so I was short one out for sure

10:48 am

Trifioso

I agree about soodle's story, super cute

10:48 am

Trifioso

are you the youngest cheryl?

10:49 am

cherlyq

No I am the second of the 4

10:50 am

Trifioso

hmm, so not the truly "little" sister, lol

10:50 am

cherlyq

she had us then waited 9 yrs to have another and the baby is 18 yrs 2 days younger than me he is the red head

10:51 am

Trifioso

my dance teacher and his wife are expecting their third, and delighted to be having a girl after two rough and tumble lads. The mom is picturing tea parties and tiaras - I rather think, with two older brothers, she is in for a tomboy!

10:52 am

cherlyq

yeah I was a tom boy and there was just two of us for 9 yrs lol

10:53 am

rururocks

I always found the term "tom boy" kind of weird and a bit offensive

10:53 am

Trifioso

i would pay cash money to see my dance instructor having a tea party with his little girl

10:53 am

Trifioso

i do apologize, ruru - i don't know another, more current term to use, but would be happy to adjust

10:54 am

rururocks

no it's ok.. it's a common usage kind of thing.. I just always thought it was ok for girls to do boy things

10:54 am

Trifioso

i agree!

10:55 am

rururocks

we had a girl play softball with us boys as a kid and she was better than almost all of us

10:55 am

Trifioso

lets see, I guess I could have said that his wife is hoping her daughter will do stereotyped girl activities, like tea parties and tiaras, but I feel like I am digging the hole deeper

10:56 am

cherlyq

all I know is Mom always had patches for my jeans and usually sewed them on before I wore the pants the first time to try to make them last longer. well when I was allowed to wear jeans

10:56 am

Trifioso

I never liked the phrase "runs like a girl" being used as an insult.

10:59 am

cybernan

I keep forgetting that some anacronyms are considered words here

10:59 am

saanichcat

tombot is just as bad

10:59 am

Trifioso

hmmm - certain a word, cyber?

11:00 am

Trifioso

I am glad you pointed that out to me, ruru. I am going to examine this more - there must be a better word to use

11:01 am

saanichcat

I'm with ru on this one too, tomboy is a very sexist word and surprised it is still common usage.

11:02 am

cybernan

a 4, trif

11:02 am

Trifioso

oh this is soooo good - a synonym for tomboy is "rumpscuttle" which is just fantastic in every way

11:03 am

Trifioso

again, I apologize for using the word. I should have thought better of it

11:03 am

saanichcat

That's hilarious trif!

11:04 am

Trifioso

rumpscuttle is excellent. the definition is too: A boisterous or adventurous girl, having scant regard for the traditional "feminine" stereotype

11:04 am

origami

I'll have to find a way to work that into a conversation, trif.

11:04 am

Trifioso

I LOVE the "having scant regard" part - she made a knowing choice.

11:05 am

saanichcat

well I would rather be a rumpscuttle than a tiara girl for sure

11:05 am

Trifioso

i would too! but it is all about the choice, to me. If the little one would like a tiara, then she should have one. If her brother wants one too, amen! If they both choose to climb trees in their tiaras, ROCK ON

11:06 am

saanichcat

YUP!

11:06 am

cherlyq

since we travelled all over the country my brother was my best and sometimes only friend, I guess I was proud to be a tomboy, never thought about the name then oh but I did like other stuff too, like cheerleading and dance and barbies

11:08 am

MollyL

Rumpscuttle, hmm, that could be interpreted in a not so nice way.

11:11 am

saanichcat

it's definitely not a compliment at any rate

11:12 am

rururocks

I'm all for rumps but stop at scuttle

11:13 am

MollyL

Some people don't like their rumps to be scuttled

11:14 am

MollyL

I can see the Father at the playground "WHAT did you just call my little girl?"

11:22 am

hurshy

i have an idea for a new way to say it...
hardy girl
which is a double meaning of
being hardy (at one's play, willing to risk injury etc)
and
instead of hardy boys, hardy girls
lol

11:28 am

cybernan

*!*~*!*

11:28 am

saanichcat

CONGRATS nan!

11:30 am

72 Temple Owl

what if we just stop affixing labels to people as if they were cans?

11:33 am

72 Temple Owl

lunch time! it's been a hard wait today.

11:35 am

cybernan

Today's chuckle is an Australian letter -- strong language and not pc, but so like our own government that I laughed all the way through it. :)

11:41 am

12:03 pm

MollyL

I think it's seedy to feed dogs appl6s

12:14 pm

MollyL

12:15 pm

hokie carla

don't apple seeds have cyanide?

12:15 pm

origami

But they're so apeeling

12:15 pm

bichon

my bichon will only eat sweet peppers and mozzarellla cheese

12:15 pm

origami

Yeah, the seeds are not good for them.

12:16 pm

hokie carla

my dog will eat anything but some fruits and all veggies

12:17 pm

MollyL

Well at least the dogs are not frittering away their snack time

12:17 pm

MollyL

Your dog eats mulch

12:18 pm

hokie carla

my last golden (ellie) snatched a half corn cob off the floor when it didn't make it into the trash and she had to have surgery. vet said 95%+ of the time dogs cannot pass corn cobs.

12:19 pm

mael

we have a cat that eats all manners of junk, so I now have to retract everything I have ever said about dogs being dumber

12:20 pm

MollyL

Oh I would always vote for cats being dumber

12:20 pm

hokie carla

haha

12:20 pm

Krysten

my dog is on a raw diet, one that we've done a ton of research for and most raw diets call for the dog to get a certain amount of fruit/veggies

12:20 pm

Shirlockc

gluttony is not species specific

12:20 pm

Shirlockc

thems fighting words mollyL

12:20 pm

MollyL

Why is your dog on a raw diet?

12:21 pm

Krysten

Not only does my dog love apples (we core it so no seeds) but she love blueberries too

12:21 pm

mael

on average cats are a much smarter creature, in my experience. It's just this particular cat that's a dumbass

12:21 pm

hokie carla

goldens are like goats, they eat everything (except certain fruits and veggies 🤣)

12:21 pm

mael

our other cat is ashamed to share a species with her

12:21 pm

bichon

Marco refused to eat breakfast. And we have to sedate him so he'll sleep at night

12:22 pm

Krysten

She wouldn't eat much of anything else. And we tried everything!

12:23 pm

hokie carla

I believe if I left a 40# bag of dog food out for Winston he'd eat it in like 30 min.

12:24 pm

MollyL

Wait, dogs eat breakfast?

12:24 pm

hokie carla

first meal of the day is breaking fast

12:24 pm

bichon

morning meal

12:24 pm

MollyL

I thought you just fed dogs once a day

12:24 pm

Krysten

mine does but we do 2 feedings on purpse

12:25 pm

hokie carla

winston eats a.m. and p.m.

12:25 pm

origami

I have always fed my dogs twice a day.

12:25 pm

hokie carla

me too

12:25 pm

bichon

1/2 cup twice a day

12:26 pm

Krysten

1/2 cup?? lol My dog eats 2-4 lbs per meal!

12:26 pm

Krysten

But she's 133 lbs (so far!)

12:26 pm

hokie carla

well, bichons are tiny

12:27 pm

hokie carla

winston's on a diet. he's eating about 1 c. 2x/day

12:30 pm

MollyL

Wow, your dog eats 4 to 8 pounds of food a day?

12:33 pm

rururocks

it's better for Large breeds to eat two meals at least molly, due to avoiding bloat

12:34 pm

rururocks

my dog eats three cups a day split in two meals.

12:34 pm

Krysten

When she's hungry, yes. And yes, Ru, for that exact reason

12:34 pm

periwinkle

hello all. and Molly cats are not dumb!!

12:35 pm

origami

Hi peri

12:35 pm

Krysten

And because she eats raw, it is literally a ton of meat, bone and fat.

12:36 pm

periwinkle

help with the i please

12:36 pm

rururocks

you aren't going to get away with that with an older dog though Krysten (risking pancreatitis)

12:37 pm

rururocks

I'm not a believer in the raw diet. A bunch of my friends do, but my vet said it's not a great thing in the long run

12:39 pm

hokie carla

yeah, and the gluten free dog foods (why did we think dogs need to be GF?) cause heart disease and death in certain breeds (golden retrievers included)

12:40 pm

periwinkle

got the it words

12:41 pm

Krysten

There's quite a bit a research that suggests that a raw diet helps with pancreatitis. And truthfully, I didn't want a raw diet either...it's a lot of work. But the animal hospital that I take her too are all on board with it which we were a little surprised about too. But their message for us was that most vets are not for it because it can be dangerous if the owner is not super committed to ensuring the right combination and balance of meat types (organ, muscle, bone, etc).

12:42 pm

Krysten

As long as she gets all of the vitamins and minerals she should, they are happy.

12:43 pm

hokie carla

sounds very expensive too!

12:44 pm

Krysten

yes but about the same as high end, store bought.

12:44 pm

MollyL

The question on the table was which are dumber, cats or dogs.

12:44 pm

hokie carla

they are each smart about certain things and dumb about others

12:45 pm

Krysten

Just like people, it depends.

12:50 pm

hokie carla

have 1/7 E's in the first col. are these tricky?

12:54 pm

origami

I can't remember seeing them before, hokie.

12:56 pm

hokie carla

ok, don't feel so bad then

12:59 pm

regis

1:01 pm

rururocks

my vets were more worried about listeria and salmonella

1:02 pm

MollyL

Bichon, you sedate your dog every night?

1:04 pm

hokie carla

interesting. ellie got a raw chicken breast once and we googled that she would be fine. didn't know dogs get salmonella.

1:06 pm

hokie carla

finally finished first pass. 39 left.

1:09 pm

mael

our vet was even concern with salmonella for cat treats, apparently food safety isn't the greatest in the pet industry

1:09 pm

origami

So, I was concerned about the apple seeds and googled it. A dog would have to eat 200 apples for it to be a problem. Phew!

1:14 pm

hokie carla

wow, ori. thanks.

1:14 pm

HarryHood

hello! 27 here.

1:14 pm

hokie carla

I have a bag of treats for winston that were recalled. from what I could find out some of them have visible mold. the ones I have do not, so I have been giving them to him.

1:14 pm

hokie carla

hey HH

1:15 pm

HarryHood

woolee boolee!

1:19 pm

HarryHood

1:27 pm

origami

Could I please have a clue for the wo7?

1:27 pm

MollyL

Warm thing you wear on your head

1:28 pm

MollyL

Stupid word. It actually means something else

1:28 pm

origami

Thanks, Molly.

1:28 pm

MollyL

Kind of like redcap means something else

1:34 pm

hokie carla

1:34 pm

HarryHood

FW, friends! I listed for the last dozen. Have a great day everyone

2:18 pm

hokie carla

well done, mael

2:24 pm

hokie carla

3:37 pm

penquis

3:37 pm

penquis

do you have the el 5/6 combo?

3:39 pm

penquis

brb...

3:40 pm

amandacath

penquis - I think that's an animal, must google

3:42 pm

MollyL

Not an animal

3:42 pm

amandacath

wrong - tree.

3:43 pm

penquis

I know what it is....i was answering carla's question....

3:43 pm

penquis

thanks anyway.... ;o)

3:43 pm

amandacath

Oh, sorry for the confusion.

3:44 pm

penquis

no problem....carla is in and out today....

3:44 pm

penquis

I think it's a resin...

3:45 pm

MollyL

It is a resin. People keep mistaking suggestions for clue requests. It's helpful to start with the person's name if you are suggesting.

3:46 pm

penquis

usually people have a question mark after posting a stat if they are looking for a word...

3:47 pm

penquis

carla and I were alone for a while....forgot about the lurkers... ;o)

3:47 pm

penquis

in any case, i am done...

3:50 pm

penquis

getting nowhere with the Spelling Bee....think I need a break....bye all....

4:10 pm

hokie carla

I am back. do not have that set, so you were correct, pen. now to find them.

4:15 pm

hokie carla

ok, found the 5 but nothing's working for the 6. they are related?

4:20 pm

MollyL

What 5 and 6?

4:21 pm

hokie carla

pen said my missing e's were an EL5/6 combo

4:21 pm

MollyL

Then you have the other 5 because the 6 in the 5/6 combo is a plural

4:22 pm

hokie carla

aha, thanks

4:22 pm

hokie carla

and darn, now still need 1 6

4:31 pm

ch1212

hokie, you need the et6/21 -- insert a consonant before the final two letters in the word following.

4:32 pm

hokie carla

thanks, but I have finished the e's. molly had it right.

4:32 pm

hokie carla

need a 6 from some other letter.

4:33 pm

ch1212

excellent!

4:33 pm

hokie carla

may as well list now. seeing nothing new.

5:04 pm

MollyL

!!Everyone waits with bated breath to find out Carla's missing 6!!

5:12 pm

Uneaixoise

Fw!!

5:39 pm

mab

many thanks ch1212! as usual, blind to that last word...

5:43 pm

mab

the 6s: el, et, me x 3, ni, so x 2, th, wa, ya

5:47 pm

ItalianGreyhound

I cant find another def. for the W head wear, other than what it is. What else does it mean, Molly?

5:48 pm

Gillie

Apparently it's also slang in the US for someone who owns a small farm

5:48 pm

ItalianGreyhound

Thx, Gillie - Guess I didnt scroll down far enough

5:49 pm

Gillie

Not sure it's supposed to be one word even there, though

6:04 pm

hurshy

yeah the more i looked into it the more they were saying basically it's like a redneck - though obviously less common of a term!

6:20 pm

tessagram

nott

6:46 pm

hokie carla

my missing 6 was TH. I listed and finished earlier without any fanfare. 😜

6:48 pm

MollyL

*Fans Carla's fare
: P

7:02 pm

joym999

not seeing the WO7

7:04 pm

MollyL

Warm covering for your head. But that is not what it means.

7:05 pm

joym999

Hmm. That's a word?

7:07 pm

MollyL

Like I said, it means something else.

7:16 pm

joym999

There's just simply no way that NO5 is a real word.

7:30 pm

MollyL

Yep, dates back to 1275–1325

7:31 pm

hokie carla

no5 nohow

7:33 pm

72 Temple Owl

ah, my first clue...

7:33 pm

MollyL

People love to be clever and post something like Carla and Joy. DCSeain wlll probably be next.

7:34 pm

72 Temple Owl

i remember that alleged word...

7:35 pm

72 Temple Owl

i am beginning to watch "searching for Sugarman". bbl to finish

7:40 pm

hokie carla

well, seems like we usually have nohow and everyone complains. this is the first time I remember having this one.

9:47 pm

ItalianGreyhound

whew! long day of plumbing issues finally fixed (I hope)

10:09 pm

Dorens

finally had to pipe down IG?

10:11 pm

ItalianGreyhound

Never :)

10:12 pm

rururocks

my guess is he had to eventually take a leak

10:13 pm

ItalianGreyhound

too esy, RU

10:13 pm

ItalianGreyhound

easy

10:13 pm

rururocks

hopefully you're flushed with pride now

10:13 pm

ItalianGreyhound

been baling for days

10:14 pm

rururocks

hard to get plumbers right now.. they're all super busy and short staffed

10:14 pm

ItalianGreyhound

I am stinking proud!

10:15 pm

rururocks

I sure wish Farah Faucet was around for you

10:15 pm

ItalianGreyhound

thats gold

10:16 pm

ItalianGreyhound

found a great plumber

10:16 pm

rururocks

good.. water can cause all kinds of damage

10:16 pm

rururocks

toodles for now

10:21 pm

ItalianGreyhound

I tipped him a chunk

11:17 pm

harpjane

I just typed a word, but my right hand was in the wrong position. The word was accepted anyway. What are the odds?
