my icon is "save the rhino" sadly last night 4 white rhinos were shot and killed and one badly injured - one of the dead animals was pregnant - poachers used high power rifles with silencers - makes me sick to my stomach

6:58 am

periwinkle

so sad

6:59 am

hurshy

:....(

7:00 am

ursh

poachers are so well armed - it is no longer poor people trying to make a living - it is rich and powerful buyer behind this horrific trade - dont understand why people just dont eat their toenail clippings - same effect

7:25 am

Name that proper noun, Clair Huxtable

hokie carla

I was watching a lifetime xmas movie the other day with the youngest daughter from Fresh Prince as the female lead. I was like, her sister looks familiar, so I checked imdb and found out was Rudy Huxtable. Then I read the male lead's sister was Vanessa Huxtable, and I was like, oh yeah.

7:56 am

hokie carla

ugh, I hate to hear that, ursh.

8:13 am

MollyL

Ding! Ding! Bea wins a spa day!

8:14 am

BzznBea

WOOT! I need that!

8:14 am

MollyL

Have you done your isolation tank yet?

8:15 am

BzznBea

Not yet. After Christmas. Too musch going on right now.

8:17 am

MollyL

It sounds very intriguing, although I would not be able to use one since I am claustrophobic.

8:23 am

Scrabbler

BIG grid. Name the Musketeer.

8:24 am

8:25 am

Scrabbler

*ding*ding*ding* You win Double Jeopardy, Bea.

8:50 am

mael

hoover is not a word yet?

8:53 am

Scrabbler

Name brand. My parents had a Hoover when I was a kid.

8:53 am

lyv4ever

that sucks

8:53 am

Scrabbler

A lot.

8:55 am

mael

i thought it had suffered genericide at this point

8:55 am

mael

like kleenex

9:00 am

MollyL

I knew a guy in college who used to call his girlfriend Hoover.

9:00 am

mael

that's quite the compliment

9:00 am

BzznBea

He must have been a real catch.

9:01 am

mael

bet he's a real sweetheart

9:02 am

MollyL

He was a rugby player, need I say more?
: D

9:02 am

hokie carla

was waiting for a brit to ask. I guess I'll have to settle on the italian. 😜

9:03 am

mael

i learned british english, some things stick with you :)

9:03 am

MollyL

Ask what?

9:03 am

hokie carla

ask about hoover

9:04 am

hokie carla

the first time I heard my scottish friends say something about "hoovering" I was like, you mean vacuuming? why are you using a brand name as a verb? was also equally confused the first time I heard them say caravan for camper.

9:05 am

MollyL

The one that kills me is fanny. Such a different meaning in Britspeak

9:05 am

BzznBea

I think he called her hoover because she sucked, Carla.

9:06 am

hokie carla

I wasn't talking about that. LOL

9:06 am

BzznBea

oh...

9:06 am

hokie carla

was waiting for a brit to ask why hoover isn't a word

9:07 am

mael

fanny pack is such a laugh for me

9:08 am

MollyL

Ever since I heard what fanny means to the Brits, I crack up when I hear the Bee Gees "Fanny Be Tender With My Love"

9:08 am

BzznBea

Have you seen the beer gut fanny packs?

9:08 am

MollyL

And the Bee Gees are/were Brits

9:09 am

hokie carla

well bum bag makes me LOL, not because it's vulgar but because it's so different from fanny pack

9:09 am

hokie carla

but the bee gees were brits and then aussies, so it must've been a name at some point before it became what it is now

9:09 am

MollyL

The beer gut fanny pack with hair is my favorite

9:10 am

hokie carla

seems like freddie mercury sang something about his nanny with a big fat fanny too

9:12 am

Jeff7

9:12 am

MollyL

Fat Bottom Girls...Left alone with big fat Fanny
She was such a naughty nanny

9:12 am

9:12 am

cybernan

good morning everyone :)

9:13 am

mael

did you succeed, scrab?

9:13 am

Scrabbler

Hello over there, Nan.

9:13 am

BzznBea

Time to make things happen. Back at break.

9:13 am

hokie carla

don't know why I didn't think of the im6

9:14 am

Scrabbler

Her initial vaccine was J & J so she wants that again as a booster, but evidence shows a poor immune response compared to Moderna.

9:14 am

cybernan

our youngest grandkids got their first shot's yesterday

9:14 am

Scrabbler

Yay, Nan!

9:14 am

mael

absolutely, i thought they only recommended a mrna booster to the j&j at this point

9:14 am

hokie carla

mr. homie got J&J and then J&J booster because he didn't want to mix them. I tried to get him to get Moderna.

9:15 am

Scrabbler

Yes, but she is afraid of being "sick" and I told her it may not happen, it may be mild, and it is temporary.

9:16 am

MollyL

Whoever thought we would live in a time when getting shots was a hot topic of conversation?

9:16 am

hokie carla

mr. homie got very sick with the 2nd J&J, so I don't think it matters

9:18 am

Scrabbler

At 90 she fears not being able to survive fever and aches.

9:18 am

mkg

Hi all.

9:18 am

dcseain

I got three Pfizer. Third was MUCH easier than first two for me. I slept for 17h and that was it with shot three.

9:18 am

hokie carla

I got very sick with Moderna booster and my brother got very sick with Pfizer. meanwhile, my other brother was fine after Pfizer booster. and my mom and her sister were fine after Pfizer booster. it's just random.

9:18 am

mkg

Nice big grid.

9:18 am

Scrabbler

Good morning, mkg.

9:19 am

dcseain

I was three days sick shot one, and five days shot two. Booster was a pleasant surprise.

9:19 am

dcseain

goof morning, everyone.

9:19 am

Scrabbler

I had Moderna x 2 then Pfizer. No side effects with #3.

9:19 am

Scrabbler

Hi seain

9:19 am

cybernan

doctors here are recommending the moderna booster after having 2 pfizers as most of us early vaxxers had

9:19 am

dcseain

hello, scrabbler :)

9:20 am

periwinkle

hello all

9:20 am

hokie carla

I have heard older people aren't having as much side effects, so she may not have any problems at 90.

9:20 am

Scrabbler

Yes, mixing vaccines is advised.

9:20 am

periwinkle

I just vacuumed the living and dining room in new apartment!

9:21 am

9:34 am

montreal13

OV7/8 - the above prefix and male(s)

9:34 am

mkg

Ov= two words. First word opp of under. Second word: opp of lady, and plural

9:34 am

cybernan

ov 7-8: too many employees?

9:34 am

hokie carla

ov7/8 I guess is if you have too much staff for something

9:34 am

periwinkle

sheesh I already had them. not common words,

9:34 am

mkg

I had a friend whose last name was the ov 7.

9:34 am

periwinkle

I found them in my scrabble dictionary

9:37 am

cybernan

9:37 am

hokie carla

just looked them up. reminds me of a flower.

9:39 am

periwinkle

no nan

9:39 am

cybernan

just monkeyed them -- tried a few variations on the flower after you mentioned perfume

9:40 am

periwinkle

yay

9:40 am

hokie carla

yeah, flower beginning + alcohol ending could work as a clue

9:40 am

Scrabbler

My monkey found it!

9:41 am

mael

it actually comes from the flower :)

9:41 am

hokie carla

makes sense

9:41 am

hokie carla

that was my first thought when I saw it

9:41 am

cybernan

9 t's from the top and 7 from the bottom - now that is a challenge

9:42 am

hokie carla

how can you have 7 t's from the bottom?

9:42 am

cybernan

oops - was looking at the l on the bottom. Eyes don't work too well first thing in the morning.

9:43 am

hokie carla

I'm wearing my new computer glasses

9:43 am

periwinkle

what are computer glasses?

9:43 am

cybernan

how are they working out, carla?

9:44 am

hokie carla

they are like readers but for a slightly farther distance since you don't have your computer screen as close

9:44 am

periwinkle

do you need a script?

9:45 am

hokie carla

they are working okay, nan. I thought they would be progressives too, but they are full on like readers so I have to look over them for the TV, etc.

9:45 am

Scrabbler

I passed halfway. I need to go into town to get greens for my rabbits.

9:46 am

hokie carla

I don't know, peri. I got them at my eye dr. I did order myself some new progressives online and I did not see an option for computer distance so you may need to get them at an eye place.

9:46 am

periwinkle

ok

9:46 am

hokie carla

and my new progressives from online I just got yesterday and I'm not sure they are going to work, but I will put them back on when I get off the computer and try to adjust.

9:47 am

hokie carla

bye scrabbs

9:47 am

cybernan

I have task lenses (reading/computer) that are progressives. I don't need glasses for distance. Got my prescription filled at Costco.

9:47 am

cybernan

bye scrabbs

9:49 am

hokie carla

yeah, I have nothing for distance too. I have had my original progressives since 2015 but didn't really wear them much because I had to take them off for soccer, etc. wore readers forever but got tired of not being able to read stuff when I didn't have them, so I just started wearing my progressives again about a month ago.

9:49 am

NTPN - pasta sauce

10:54 am

rururocks

stumped me on that one nan.. i don't know pasta sauces

10:55 am

cybernan

Prego

10:56 am

cybernan

*not as good as Paul Newman's

10:57 am

cybernan

and nowhere near as good as homemade, but those days are over!

10:57 am

rururocks

those things have waaay too much salt for me..I make mine from scratch

10:58 am

rururocks

i have almost all the fours.. but still 6 short of three hundred

10:58 am

cybernan

made mine from scratch when I had 3 teenagers in the house and never knew how may friends they would be bringing home with them.

10:59 am

welki

we still make our own sauce, too, and freeze it in portioned containers

10:59 am

cybernan

Sounds great, but don't have a big deep freeze anymore -- no room for one.

11:00 am

rururocks

wow.. you REALLY downsized

11:00 am

rururocks

how is your husband doing nan?

11:00 am

cybernan

yes we did --- from 3400 to 1800

11:00 am

welki

we don't either, just a small chest freezer, but i get the 'no room' part, we're in a very small house now and space is always at a premium

11:01 am

cybernan

and no basement

11:01 am

rururocks

3,400 whoa

11:01 am

welki

oh dear, we're just at 1000 square feet!

11:01 am

rururocks

I live in a 1,400 sq foot house.. it's plenty big for me

11:01 am

welki

the house we moved from was 1828 above ground (with a basement - no basement, no garage here)

11:02 am

rururocks

no garage? really?

11:02 am

cybernan

I guess it is just that my freezer (7cu. ft) is full of bread and meat

11:02 am

welki

nope, no garage. some of the newer houses here have garages (and basements), but ours is just a wee cottage

11:03 am

welki

we moved here full time in july and are still purging - had to dump a LOT of stuff from the calgary house

11:03 am

cybernan

we have garages, but there is barely enough room for 2 cars

11:03 am

penquis

ooh....a nice big grid for a snowy day....hello all...

11:03 am

cybernan

hi pen

11:04 am

welki

hi pen - thought of you last night, we treated ourselves to lobster :)

11:05 am

penquis

excellent! Haven't had any in a while....prices have been high here...

11:06 am

11:07 am

penquis

11:07 am

penquis

Rashad?

11:08 am

hurshy

ding ding ding!!!

11:08 am

cybernan

I might do that for Christmas dinner. I don't feel like cooking a turkey for just the two of us. The only road open between Vancouver and here is closed to all but essential traffic, so the kids won't be coming for Christmas.

11:08 am

penquis

nan....did you see that a player called Dog Fan thanked you for recommending Motrin the other day?....He said it worked better than his prescription pain meds....

11:09 am

cybernan

yes I did see that -- good to hear it helped someone. I just hope he doesn't take too many per day on a regular basis without consulting a doctor.

11:10 am

rururocks

i can't take motrin.. it tears up my guts

11:10 am

cybernan

At the time, I was suggesting to another player that she try it for occasional muscle pain.

11:13 am

cybernan

iinally -- 100 -- back after breakfast

11:15 am

Hey, I am out of practice. LOL! But I give you props for cluing an A for me.

4:06 pm

4:06 pm

BzznBea

Thanks you, friend.

4:07 pm

hokie carla

have been working on my sewing room today and got overwhelmed.

4:07 pm

hokie carla

so came back to this for more overwhelming

4:08 pm

BzznBea

You decided to set one up? Thought you were going to wait until you got into another house...

4:09 pm

BzznBea

Wait, I didn't miss that did i?

4:09 pm

hokie carla

I'm not getting nan's pr8 clue.

4:09 pm

BzznBea

4:09 pm

BzznBea

4:09 pm

BzznBea

Geez!

4:10 pm

hokie carla

yes, I decided I needed to settle in somewhere and mr. homie says he would like to stay in here for a while and do more motorhoming. so I'm sure as soon as I get this set up we will find a house.

4:10 pm

hokie carla

then I will just have to pay someone to pack it up

4:11 pm

hurshy

if something is very boring, run-of-the-mill, you say that it is pr7 (adj form, not in grid). turn it into a person with that sort of attitude towards everything.

4:12 pm

hokie carla

the problem is I have used a lot of furniture and shelves previously in my sewing room for other things here and also I still have a ton of Barbies and mailing supplies left and nowhere else to put them.

4:13 pm

BzznBea

Sorry, hursh, that doesn't help.

4:13 pm

hokie carla

okay, still nothing coming to me on that clue. it's not you, it's me. I'm sure.

4:13 pm

hokie carla

ha!

4:14 pm

hokie carla

got it!

4:14 pm

BzznBea

I've lost my edge.

4:14 pm

hurshy

the pr7 adjective rhymes with a kind of art where you put a lot of little pieces of tile together

4:14 pm

hokie carla

ends like firestarter

4:16 pm

BzznBea

match?

4:16 pm

BzznBea

Hi,it's Dog Fan here. It was actually MIdol that helped my Iliotibial Band pain, not Motrin. I was stunned that it worked when prescription and OTC pain relievers had not. My doctor said it was better for me to take Midol than an Ibuprofen/Tylenol combo I had been taking. Thanks to whomever suggested it to another player for sciatica pain!!

9:21 pm

Dog Fan

PS The Midol that's effective for me is the pink box gel caps MIdol Complete with caffine. Men or women can take it.

Just got below 100. Pretty good for me on a grid this size on a day with no preschool

Though if I could find just one more 6, I’d have at least half of every length, which would be pretty sweet
