9:20 am

hurshy

whoa, that's weird, i'm only on the third row and i finished 6s

9:20 am

9:29 am

hokie carla

9:29 am

hokie carla

it's like I wasn't even trying before

9:31 am

hurshy

9:38 am

hokie carla

R GG S C P

9:39 am

hurshy

thanks!

9:39 am

hurshy

do you have ge5/16

9:39 am

hokie carla

sure, it was hard to see for some reason

9:40 am

hurshy

cause i have one more G than you so maybe that is what you are missing

9:40 am

hokie carla

nope, thanks. I think I missed that the other day too.

9:40 am

hurshy

and you have an E that i need, third row. i have the color.

9:41 am

hokie carla

1-2-0-2

9:41 am

hokie carla

I think it has to be eg4

9:41 am

hurshy

ah yes

9:42 am

hurshy

i'm so silly, i thought of that when i was doing top E and waited to put it in, then forgot it. i should have just put it in

9:42 am

hurshy

for R is it top or bottom that you need

9:42 am

hokie carla

yes, I am always silly like that too

9:43 am

hurshy

ph7 was my last P

9:43 am

hokie carla

top R

9:44 am

hokie carla

ok, have been trying to make a ph word but haven't. looking.

9:44 am

hurshy

have you got the sewing one, re5?

9:44 am

hokie carla

yes, that was the one I found that I said I'm very familiar with

9:45 am

hokie carla

is the PH7 a regular word?

9:45 am

hurshy

hmm, not sure what else you could have missed... probably a 4

9:45 am

hurshy

no not exactly

9:45 am

MollyL

Does she have the sewing one? Hahahaha

9:45 am

hurshy

i have a good ph7 clue if you want

9:45 am

hokie carla

may need a nudge on the ph7

9:45 am

hurshy

schizo________

9:46 am

hokie carla

lol, of course I tried it first ending with an A, which isn't in the grid today. thanks

9:46 am

MollyL

Wow, Matty's morning nudge thing has bled into mid-day

9:47 am

hokie carla

well, sometimes you just want a nudge, not a beat over the head

9:48 am

hurshy

i don't know WHAT on earth this C can be

9:48 am

hokie carla

what lengths to do you have left? has to be a 4, 5, or 7

9:48 am

hurshy

same

9:49 am

hurshy

at least if the C is 7 i won't feel that bad

9:49 am

MollyL

It reminds of me of that line in the movie "Sneakers" where the nerdy guy asks Mary McDonnell if she wants to have breakfast with him. She says yes. He says, "shall I call you, or nudge you?" She looks horrified and calls to the restaurant waiter "Check please!"

9:49 am

hokie carla

oh well, gotta take winston out

9:57 am

hokie carla

down to R S C - 2 5s and a 7

9:58 am

MollyL

Wow, Winston doesn't get a very long walk

9:58 am

hokie carla

duh, my R was the 7

9:58 am

hokie carla

I'll walk him later. just took him out.

9:58 am

hokie carla

so the C is definitely a 5 if you're still looking, hursh

9:59 am

hurshy

i am

9:59 am

Uneaixoise

Re6/24 please? Either one......

9:59 am

hurshy

i'm therefore missing either G7 or S7

9:59 am

hurshy

une those are about going back on a promise

9:59 am

hokie carla

there's a G7 I got from the chat earlier

10:00 am

hurshy

clue?

10:01 am

Uneaixoise

Tx hursh

10:01 am

hokie carla

it's like granite hydrothermally altered and it has mica and quartz 🤣

10:01 am

Uneaixoise

Fw!!

10:02 am

hokie carla

GR7 - G + I think there's a german candy here

10:02 am

MollyL

Knowing Hurshy she will say "oh of course" like that is a word she uses all the time

10:02 am

hokie carla

the ads said "storck chocolate *, mrs. lang" or something

10:02 am

hokie carla

but the vowels are switched

10:03 am

hokie carla

yes, was thinking the same, molly

10:03 am

hokie carla

well done, une!

10:03 am

hurshy

not at all, i don't know science words

10:03 am

hurshy

got it from thinking about candies tho

10:03 am

hokie carla

good

10:03 am

MollyL

Ack, when you do a Google search on that R word you get all this scary anime stuff

10:05 am

hurshy

ok so we're down to that C5

10:05 am

hokie carla

I still have an S5 too

10:05 am

hokie carla

and looked at the list for the c5. haven't found it yet.

10:06 am

MollyL

It must be the one that sounds like the artifical stuff football is played on

10:06 am

MollyL

Or artificial

10:07 am

hokie carla

I have that S5

10:07 am

hurshy

maybe se5/14

10:08 am

MollyL

I was referring to Hursh's c5

10:08 am

hokie carla

I do not have an se5/14

10:08 am

hurshy

no, it was ce5, that'll be hokie's C also

10:10 am

MollyL

I could clue it, but it's a dirty, dirty clue

10:10 am

hokie carla

yeah, just looked it up

10:11 am

hokie carla

and looked up the s - new to me.

10:11 am

hokie carla

gotta get busy now. TTFN

10:18 am

penquis

yuck....hello all....

10:20 am

rururocks

10:21 am

penquis

and so it begins... ;o)

10:21 am

rururocks

you just don't have enough intestinal fortitude pen

10:22 am

penquis

not going there, ru... ;o)

10:28 am

MollyL

A colon? Hmm, wonders if Ru has switched teams

10:28 am

rururocks

:D

10:38 am

mael

It's 2021 Molly, live a little :)

joym999

Hi All. I have to attend a really boring all-day workshop today, so I look forward to solving this grid while I listen to people drone on and on and on and on...

10:40 am

cybernan

10:41 am

penquis

10:42 am

rururocks

10:43 am

mael

10:44 am

Soodle

Hi Nan. Were you looking for me last night?

10:45 am

penquis

hi Soodle...

10:46 am

Soodle

Hey Pen et al. 😊

10:46 am

cybernan

only 7 I have is an en -- don't know any german candy so that clue didn' help and I"m not a geologist so no help there either.

10:47 am

cybernan

hi soodle -- yes I just wanted to thankk you for your chuckle story -- good one :)

10:48 am

Soodle

I think your idea is great, Nan. Too much sad/bad stuff around these days.

10:49 am

cybernan

I haven't had any comment from our aussie friends on my latest one --- maybe they haven't seen it. Hope I didn't cross a line with it.

10:49 am

MollyL

Do you ever wonder if the people who give those conferences and workshops know how boring they are?

10:50 am

joym999

Often, Molly

10:50 am

Soodle

@Nan. Not at all. They’ll laugh.

10:51 am

penquis

years ago i went to a conference on school law...speaker was a lawyer. I expected it to be boring, but somehow he was able to insert relevant video clips from the Andy Griffith Show into his talk and he held onto his audience.

10:52 am

cybernan

It coulld just as easily be a Canadian story -- our bureaucracy isn't any better, for sure

10:53 am

MollyL

The last workshop I had to go to, they made a big effort to keep it interesting and in parts, humorous. I really appreciated that.

10:53 am

cherlyq

10:55 am

penquis

10:55 am

joym999

ew...what's the orange menace doing in the grid?

10:56 am

7:36 pm

grannyrose

7:37 pm

welki

yep, meat and vegies

7:38 pm

ItalianGreyhound

road racing, like Le Mans

7:39 pm

welki

7:41 pm

grannyrose

ugh, noooo.... gosh i need to read more carefully. bye welki. have a good one . xx

7:44 pm

grannyrose

i'm such a petrol head. i loved being a pillion with Don. nowadays i get my rush when we fly anywhere. take-off gives me such a buzz. all that power !!

7:45 pm

ItalianGreyhound

sympatico!

7:46 pm

ItalianGreyhound

spelling?

7:48 pm

grannyrose

lol. on the motorcycle, we used to ride everywhere. then Don bought the Motor Guzzi. it's huge. and i have put a lot of weight on over the last 8 years. after my fall at work i was unable to exercise as much as i did. i made the decision i would not pillion until i reduced my weight. the bike is heavy enough to handle without my extra weight added.

7:51 pm

ItalianGreyhound

I did the equivalent of the Super Cars here in the States

7:51 pm

grannyrose

ahh. no sometimes vowel. use an i instead.

7:53 pm

grannyrose

oh my. i would have loved to see that. When we have the big car race here in Melbourne i would love to go. but Don isn't interested.formula one i think it is. a Grand Prix anyway.

7:56 pm

grannyrose

it's strange that. he likes to watch the car rallies in Europe, but won't watch our home-grown race.

7:57 pm

ItalianGreyhound

your super car series is World Class!

7:59 pm

grannyrose

yeah. tell it to the fish as far as Don is concerned. not to worry we share other likes

8:00 pm

8:06 pm

grannyrose
