The th8/9/10 - are these words I'm likely to know off the top of my brain?

4:04 am

MollyL

Well, with you, there is no telling Matty. But probably not.

4:08 am

mattygroves

I would like to express my gratitude for your felicitous response to my plaintive query ;)

5:50 am

Sugrraleona

My biggest problem is finding words that start with vowels LOL

5:50 am

mattygroves

I'm with you there, Sugrr!

7:03 am

hokie carla

another big S day!

7:22 am

MollyL

Who has a big S? : O

7:23 am

hokie carla

well my grid has 77, not sure about you

7:26 am

MollyL

I was making a Kardashian junk in the trunk joke, but apparently, it didn't go over. Tough crowd.

7:26 am

hokie carla

I couldn't figure out what S stood for in your joke

7:29 am

hokie carla

btw, 48 degrees here right now. I'm not ready!

7:35 am

MollyL

Big S, Big Ass...oh dear

7:35 am

hokie carla

I get it now. had just started coffee.

7:35 am

MollyL

I am SO READY for cooler weather.

7:35 am

penquis

hello all....glad i can start this one early.... ;o)

7:36 am

hokie carla

I didn't want to unpack my winter clothes

7:36 am

hokie carla

hey pen

7:36 am

MollyL

Morning Pen

7:36 am

MollyL

Who needs winter clothes when it's almost 50 degrees?

7:36 am

hokie carla

I would need at least a jacket or hoodie

7:36 am

MollyL

Are you one of those reptilian people who is cold all the time?

7:37 am

Meatball421

People in Chicago are still in cutoffs at 50 degrees

7:37 am

hokie carla

have gotten much wimpier since living here. now when I was a student at VT, if it was 50 in the early spring, we were in swimsuits laying out in the sun.

7:38 am

hokie carla

yes, I am cold most of the time. I do have this Embr Wave thingy (google it) I need to find and put on

7:43 am

bichon

We wear hats in the winter [in the house]

7:44 am

hokie carla

I think I am colder in the house in summer. I like to go out to the garage and sit in the car to warm up.

7:47 am

penquis

does your blood pressure run on the low side?...

7:48 am

MollyL

I would get that Embr Wave thing for the cooling properties but it's a little outside my "luxuries" budget.

7:48 am

hokie carla

nope

7:48 am

penquis

i have a friend who is always cold and she has low blood pressure...

7:48 am

hokie carla

yes, I have used it for the cooling too. It was my Xmas present last year.

7:49 am

godthaab

th 8 9 10 - Helps to know Penderecki

7:51 am

mattygroves

Who or what is Penderecki (I shall google it now)

7:51 am

hokie carla

yes, I don't know Penderecki either

7:52 am

godthaab

His th 8 9 10 is one the most important works of the 20th century. Everyone should know this.

7:54 am

MollyL

Everyone is not a classical music officiando

7:56 am

hokie carla

I'm always salty that horsies isn't on enable

7:57 am

penquis

hah....just tried that myself...

hokie carla

of Hokies? I know, Pen! you are a wahoo. 😜

8:00 am

hokie carla

✅✅✅

8:00 am

MollyL

I don't get her appeal at all

8:00 am

hokie carla

molly wins a VT T-shirt

8:01 am

hokie carla

I don't know. Does she have a lot of fans? I don't watch often but she seems more like a normal person, so maybe people like that?

8:02 am

MollyL

You Virginia Tech people are almost as bad as Penn State people about where you went to college.

8:03 am

hokie carla

oh, I think there's worse than us

8:03 am

Judi

Good morning, all. LOL, Molls. That's the truth. ONe of our captains is from VA Tech. The merch in her office is ridiculous.

8:04 am

penquis

hi judi...

8:05 am

MollyL

It's like there is some requirement upon graduation that the school be mentioned and the merchandise be flaunted at any opportunity.

8:05 am

hokie carla

back when I graduated ('95) there wasn't a lot of merch here in ACC land, so you bought it whenever you saw it anywhere. Then once we joined the ACC it was much more available.

8:06 am

mael

I don't get the American obsession with where one went to college at all, tbh. it's not quite as prevalent here in New England? Except for those who went "to a school in Boston" when we all know they meant Harvard

8:06 am

hokie carla

not sure how old your captain is Judi, but may be a habit 😁

8:07 am

hokie carla

yeah, please. those Harvard people mention it at every opportunity. I'm guessing all the ivy leaguers do.

8:07 am

MollyL

What about MIT? Those people like to college name drop too.

8:07 am

mael

oh, saying "a school in Boston" is humble bragging

8:08 am

mael

we all know it's harvard, they just think it makes them look less stuck up hah

8:08 am

Judi

She's late 30s. We live in a college town, so merch is everywhere. I admit to owning some - just to support the locals, ya know.

8:08 am

rastapopolous

I went to the U of Nevada Reno. Can't recall bragging. It was a decent school, but no one knows of it

8:09 am

mael

(I have friends who went to harvard! Just say you went to harvard like a normal person!)

8:10 am

mael

it's just that school spirit is a little less competitive up here without the big college sports, perhaps

8:10 am

Judi

Harvard poops out too many lawyers. The world does not need any more lawyers.

8:11 am

hokie carla

yes, mael. I think the D1 football makes the school spirit bigger.

8:12 am

penquis

when i went to college, the football team lost all their games for almost four years....finally won one when i was a senior....it was mentioned on national news...needless to say, sports wasn't big at my college... ;o)

8:12 am

Judi

Northern US colleges have some very popular hockey teams.

8:13 am

Judi

Maine, U Michigan, etc. etc.

8:13 am

Judi

Off to do some real work. BBL (maybe).

8:13 am

penquis

hockey was the number one sport at my high school....

8:13 am

penquis

bye, judi...

8:14 am

mael

yeah, my husband's uncle coached U Maine hockey. It's big, but not that all encompassing! thankfully

8:15 am

hokie carla

pen, my soph year VT was 2-8-1. I think we were leading at least 7 of those games in the 4th quarter and lost or tied in the last seconds. that's where the Chokies nickname came about.

8:16 am

hokie carla

bye judi if you're still here

8:16 am

penquis

my school was just more academic....like placing first in national debate tournaments....no merch for that, lol....

8:16 am

MollyL

I'm sure there are "Debate Nerd" t-shirts out there somewhere.
: D

8:17 am

penquis

my college just sent me a nice travel mug with the college logo on it....a gift for my 50th anniversary year....

8:17 am

mael

hey, I appreciate any and all travel mugs

8:17 am

penquis

my friend was a debater....they actually went to debate at Oxford and won there...they were good!

8:17 am

hokie carla

nice

8:18 am

mael

I went to Tufts, all I get are fundraising calls at dinner time

8:19 am

hokie carla

8:42 am

phaeton

ty

8:42 am

hokie carla

the 6, not the 8. are they related, mael? I think I've tried all the possible endings.

8:43 am

mael

the 8 is a singular that looks like a plural

8:43 am

mael

I don't have the 6 yet!

8:44 am

LuvWordGames

8:47 am

8:47 am

mael

8:48 am

hokie carla

Damn, it has practically been spelled out with all the clues

8:49 am

LuvWordGames

8:49 am

8:50 am

mael

8:50 am

penquis

8:50 am

8:51 am

penquis

8:51 am

hokie carla

id4 is the upper i

8:51 am

penquis

x 2....

8:51 am

penquis

she said second i....

8:51 am

mael

my problem is that I have no idea who Raymond Burr is

8:52 am

MollyL

Oh dear God

8:52 am

hokie carla

I know, but the id's are not from the second i

8:52 am

penquis

oops...clued the first i.....too many cluers....stepping back... ;o)

8:52 am

hokie carla

lol

8:52 am

MollyL

I am not attributing that to age. My kids are the same age and they know who Raymond Burr is.

8:52 am

hokie carla

mael - compound word - laundry appliance + euro word for soccer team

8:53 am

mael

in googling, I see that he was Perry Mason. I barely keep up with current actors, alas

8:53 am

hokie carla

molly, I give mael a pass on those kinds of things since she grew up in another country

8:53 am

MollyL

He was also a TV character in a wheelchair which is what the clue refers to

8:53 am

mael

(I know perry mason, just no clue who played him :))

8:53 am

Meatball421

Raymond is not exactly current as he is deceased

8:53 am

welki

how about the ships, monitor and merrimack - they were ir9

8:54 am

mael

I had the word, but to me it's just a ship

8:54 am

hokie carla

yes, welki, that's what I think of more

8:54 am

bichon

Matthew Rhys

8:54 am

mael

that's what I mean, I barely keep up with actors I see on the screen today, nevermind those who died when I was 8

8:54 am

hokie carla

he was in a wheelchair on perry mason? I don't rem. that.

8:54 am

hokie carla

yes, that's the current perry mason, bichon. he was good.

8:54 am

MollyL

Reruns of Burr's shows are on a lot of channels. Speaking of which, I need to go see when Season 2 of the new Perry Mason starts.

8:55 am

hokie carla

yeah, I'm going to have to get HBO again

8:55 am

penquis

i don't get HBO...

8:55 am

bichon

I've been looking too, Molly

8:55 am

mael

I don't have cable, so I wouldn't know about reruns either :)

8:55 am

LuvWordGames

I didn't mean for my clue to cause such problems :-(

8:56 am

MollyL

I don't get HBO either. But my son lets me use his password.

8:56 am

mael

oh, I wouldn't call it problems!

8:56 am

penquis

not your fault, luv...

8:56 am

mael

it's just that cultural references are generally lost to me haha

8:56 am

MollyL

It's not problems

8:56 am

hokie carla

well, I still haven't found the or8 🤣

8:56 am

MollyL

Do you have the or5?

8:57 am

MLFAN17

ends in not bro

8:57 am

LuvWordGames

when you want your teeth straightened you go to a *****dontist + not bro

8:57 am

mael

it's a medical term, hokie

8:57 am

welki

bone sibling

8:57 am

MollyL

And you know what it ends in

8:57 am

MollyL

Well now it has been spelled out

8:57 am

hokie carla

I have 2 or5. one can't come from that o so I'm ruling it out

8:57 am

hokie carla

ah, did not have that or5

8:57 am

mael

I like "bone sibling" welkie

8:58 am

LuvWordGames

yes clever clue, welki

8:58 am

penquis

clever, welki!....

8:58 am

hokie carla

that helps a lot, having the right root word.

8:58 am

welki

not my greatest work, but thanks, mael :)

8:58 am

hokie carla

now finished with all the O's so I've got that going for me.

8:58 am

phaeton

th8?

9:00 am

hokie carla

well, we know it's related to music phae, and someone named pender something

9:00 am

hokie carla

can scan the chat for the actual name

9:00 am

phaeton

pendergrass?

9:01 am

hokie carla

I don't think so. penderecki? I don't rem.

9:02 am

phaeton

penderecki

9:02 am

phaeton

ty

9:03 am

mael

googling penderecki gives you the word

9:03 am

mael

and I admit that I am not even close to qualified to know what kind of music he composed

9:04 am

hokie carla

well, now we know, as we all should 🙃

9:04 am

mael

an easier clue might be ****e little pigs + where a leaf joins a stem is called a **** and plurals

9:05 am

mael

but I guess then you'd have to be a plant nerd, like me. So it's switching one thing for another! :)

9:06 am

hokie carla

well, I think I'll save 88 for later and go unpack some jackets and hoodies. still have 1 tile I did not get half on - right lower E

9:07 am

MollyL

I guess you didn't find your magical warming device

9:08 am

mael

if you can call it that, molly. More like devil hormone

9:08 am

Uneaixoise

Ho7/32 clue, pretty please?

9:09 am

mael

I have one, but it's a plural of a terrifying thing

9:09 am

penquis

penquis

9:13 am

MollyL

Mael, the Embr Wave is a devil hormone?

9:14 am

mael

so by "magical warming device" you didn't mean the es7/8 from the right E? lol

9:15 am

mael

a whole hot flashes joke, wasted!

9:15 am

MollyL

No. Carla was talking about the Embr Wave earlier.

9:16 am

mael

now that's even funnier to me

9:32 am

9:53 am

hokie carla

9:54 am

penquis

probably because it's not... ;o)

9:54 am

penquis

9:55 am

hokie carla

Keep extending for the 10

10:32 am

cybernan

penderecki?

10:32 am

hokie carla

I thought you were a classical music person

10:32 am

hokie carla

godthahaab assures us we should all know that 😁

10:33 am

cybernan

yes - but have never heard of penderecki - performer? composer? what years?

10:34 am

hokie carla

you'll have to google that later. all I remember when I googled this morning is that he is polish.

10:34 am

hokie carla

composer

10:34 am

cybernan

when? nationality?

10:35 am

hokie carla

you can google now that you already have the word.

Tab browsing is a wonderful thing. You just open up a new tab, type in a word and VOILA

10:38 am

cybernan

polish, wrote lots of compositions, none of which I've ever heard -- modern (born 1933).

10:40 am

cybernan

will have to see if I can find his music on you tube later. Don't usually care for the modern classics, but you never know...

it is an oopsie variant that I picked up somewhere. Not sure of its national origin.

It is astounding how many classic shows are not available for streaming. I just read a list that was way too long. And it made me want to watch Moonlighting again. Ah back in Bruce Willis's baby days.

11:18 am

HarryHood

I was not crazy about moonlighting

11:18 am

hokie carla

I loved Moonlighting

11:20 am

origami

I loved that show.

11:21 am

HarryHood

I was very into northern exposure at that point

11:21 am

HarryHood

I liked that character Agnes DePesto though. great name

11:22 am

hokie carla

I watched northern exposure sometime in the last 5-10 years. Good show as well.

11:22 am

MollyL

I never quite got Northern Exposure

11:22 am

hurshy

woohooo

11:23 am

HarryHood

the verbal sparring in moonlighting exhausted me.

11:23 am

MollyL

Hurshy is having a Babblegasm

11:23 am

HarryHood

I just wanted to slap the two of them upside the head.

11:23 am

hokie carla

not a banter fan, harry?

11:24 am

HarryHood

definitely not.

11:25 am

hurshy

name that proper noun! lovable ogre

11:26 am

MollyL

Guesses Harry wasn't a West Wing fan either

11:26 am

hokie carla

shrek]

11:26 am

HarryHood

I actually loved west wing. but I only got about 75% of the dialogue.

11:26 am

hurshy

ding ding ding!!!

11:26 am

hokie carla

I honestly don't remember much of Moonlighting

11:27 am

MollyL

Lots of banter in The West Wing. I love Sorkin shows. I am rewatching The Newsroom now.

11:28 am

HarryHood

I probably missed lots of details in west wing because it went too fast. But the plot lines were great.

11:28 am

joym999

I'm looking for something interesting to watch on Netflix while I exercise. Any suggestions?

11:29 am

hurshy

Lupin was very good

11:29 am

hurshy

Umbrella Academy also

11:29 am

bichon

Madam Secretary

11:29 am

hurshy

Derry Girls is HILARIOUS, but shorter eps

11:29 am

HarryHood

I loved The Wire. But it was also hard to follow - I needed to read background as homework.

11:30 am

origami

Grace and Frankie

11:30 am

hurshy

Stranger Things, if you haven't seen it yet, is good for people who have nostalgia for the 80s and like sci fi

11:30 am

bichon

The Wire and the Sopranos duking it out for best tv series

11:30 am

HarryHood

yes - both were amazing.

11:30 am

hurshy

yes i liked the Wire a lot

11:31 am

hurshy

anything with Idris Elba in it is a winner in my book

11:31 am

HarryHood

and I'm waiting for the latest Better call saul to come on netflix

11:32 am

bichon

It's difficult to understand all the characters in the Wire. Need a cheat sheet

11:32 am

HarryHood

agree bichon.

11:32 am

MollyL

Ah six degrees to Aaron Sorkin. Idris Elba was in Molly's Game that Sorkin directed.

11:32 am

joym999

the wire and the sopranos are NOT on netflix, at least not where I am

11:33 am

hurshy

but what about to Kevin Bacon?

11:33 am

HarryHood

huh. that's new.

11:33 am

joym999

I've seen Grace and Frankie and it is good, i agree. I love all those actors.

11:33 am

MollyL

The Sopranos is an HBO show. Not sure where you find The Wire. Try justwatch.com

11:34 am

MollyL

Breaking Bad is definitely in my top ten for best series. I couldn't get into The Sopranos. I have never liked mafia stories.

11:34 am

bichon

the Wire is on HBO

11:34 am

hurshy

yeah i'm not much into mafia stories either

11:34 am

HarryHood

breaking bad was terrific. but better call saul at least as good.

11:35 am

joym999

Stranger Things sounds interesting to me; I know a lot of people who like it. What do you like about it hurshy?

11:35 am

hurshy

well the 80s nostalgia is the biggest thing for me, i'd say. and it's just... idk... it's a good mix of drama and fun

11:35 am

HarryHood

61 to go. bbl to list, probably.

11:35 am

MollyL

I like Stranger Things. But you have to have an appetite for camp.

11:36 am

bichon

We've watched all the episodes of Stranger things. Priceless

11:36 am

MollyL

That is another one I am waiting for the next season of. Damn COVID.

11:37 am

Those kids are going to be adults by the time we get Season 4.

12:12 pm

hokie carla

there's an or8 and or6, not related

12:12 pm

mich_pdx

OK, thx!

12:12 pm

hokie carla

the 8 is related to an or5 from the other o, but if you don't have that one it doesn't help. ask me how I know.

1:04 pm

Has anyone got a clue for the th 10?????

1:06 pm

mkg

Or i guess the th of 8 or 9 too??????

1:07 pm

MollyL

And does anyone have some extra question marks they can lend mkg? Because she clearly needs as many as possible.

1:08 pm

mkg

Got the ne 7to. Super clue. Ty.

1:08 pm

mkg

I need a lot so that someone sees the request. I have been requesting it during the day and getting no responses. Sorry if that is upsetting to anyone.

1:09 pm

MollyL

People can see your requests just fine

1:10 pm

mkg

Still no responses to the question though.

1:10 pm

There have already been multiple clues for the 10

1:15 pm

hoer

1:16 pm

I just reviewed the entire chat. It said something about what is in your lymph glands but i dont know what that is. Not thyroid because no y. So i am stuck. If anyone has any clues for the th 8, 9 and 10 i would love to have them. Thanks.

1:17 pm

hokie carla

mkg, google penderecki and look for a TH word and make 3 forms of it

1:17 pm

hokie carla

seriously, has no one heard of lymph nodes?

1:18 pm

mkg

I get a composer with that name.

1:19 pm

mkg

Yes i know what lumph nodes are. But i dont get a th word.

1:19 pm

mkg

I got the words but seriously, what does that have to do with lymph nodes??????

1:20 pm

mkg

I would have clued it as number after two minus last letter, plus lymph ****. And endings.

1:20 pm

mkg

So for anyone else needing the 8, 9 and 10 th words there you have a clue.

1:21 pm

mkg

Ty all. Done for the day

1:23 pm

ThreNODEs that is what it has to do with nodes
