I often need different clues than those in the chat.

7:18 am

so that's who it was about, interesting

9:55 am

cybernan

don't think I would ever use that word -- but un 12 I would

9:55 am

MollyL

Paramedics use the un version Nan

9:56 am

hurshy

i asked people to RSVP and was disappointed by the no11

9:56 am

MollyL

No, Arnaz sang it in I Love Lucy. You never watched I Love Lucy?

9:56 am

hurshy

no, not really, it was before my time. i've seen clips of a few scenes, but that's about it

9:56 am

cybernan

ah but the no is redundant in that sentence, hurshy

9:57 am

MollyL

Tragic. That is classic television.

9:57 am

hurshy

if you choose to see it that way, i suppose, nan. i find it reasonable.

9:57 am

MollyL

I agree with Nan.

9:58 am

MollyL

You would be disappointed in the re8. Not the no11

9:58 am

cybernan

molly it's been how many years since the lucy shows were on tv? AT least 40 -- most people don't remember what desi sang back then. The only show I remember was when Lucy and Ethel were in the chocolate factory

9:59 am

hurshy

i feel like in order to use re8, at least one person would have had to call. whereas no11 implies that nobody has.

9:59 am

MollyL

But Nan, they are rerun on many classic TV stations.

10:00 am

MollyL

My kids were born in the 80''s and know all the episodes of I Love Lucy.

10:00 am

cybernan

we only get one classic TV station and I never watch it.

10:00 am

hurshy

if you made a point of showing it to them, that makes sense

10:00 am

hurshy

my dad watched star trek reruns, so, i got into that. :)

10:01 am

MollyL

The current movie about Lucy and Desi would not be so popular if there were not many people familiar with The Ricardos

10:02 am

cybernan

does anyone have the stats for the 4th row e please?

10:02 am

BzznBea

en6.18

10:02 am

MollyL

See? Frequent flyer

10:03 am

origami

I Love Lucy began in 1951. I watched reruns all the time as a kid in the 60's. My son was born in '85 and loved that show.

10:03 am

cybernan

ty bea - looking

10:04 am

MollyL

My kids and I would be hard to beat at I Love Lucy trivia.

10:08 am

mael

I've never watched it, I feel like I missed out :)

10:09 am

MollyL

Especially the episode when Lucy goes to Italy and stomps grapes.

10:10 am

origami

That's a great episode.

10:12 am

MollyL

It is classic. That is why its the one they chose to put in the movie. It's also one of the few that Kidman nailed.

10:12 am

hurshy

i think julia roberts was watching that scene at one point in Pretty Woman

10:13 am

origami

I haven't watched the movie because I don't like Kidman.

10:14 am

MollyL

I don't like Kidman either, but I will recommend the movie. She did a passable job as Lucy. The actors who played Fred and Ethel were great.

10:14 am

mael

wait, they got Nicole Kidman to play Lucille Ball? That's... an odd choice

10:14 am

origami

I'll give it a shot.

10:14 am

MollyL

Isn't it though. Like I said, she was better than I expected. The makeup helped.

10:15 am

mael

I can see it in the facial features, definitely, but personality wise? Hmm

10:15 am

mkg

Not seeing the 11. I have po and pr for 8s. Which is it from? And there might be two po 8s.

10:16 am

MollyL

I would never have expected much from Kidman as Virginia Woolf, yet it was one of her best movies.

10:17 am

BzznBea

See chat around 9:56

10:17 am

mael

that's true

10:17 am

hurshy

the 11 is no11 and is based on re8, i am not sure why you're talking about p8s, mkg

10:17 am

MollyL

And remember, Lucille Ball's personality was much different than Lucy Ricardo's.

10:18 am

cybernan

clue for that en 6 please?

10:18 am

MollyL

Ends in not bro

10:19 am

cybernan

ty molly

10:19 am

mael

alas, no queso

10:19 am

cybernan

must be some medical thing

10:19 am

hurshy

quick, run to the store!

10:20 am

mael

it's not, it's a political term from ancient greece of all things

10:20 am

hurshy

well that is a very greek looking word, so, that's not that weird

10:20 am

cybernan

and this is english?

10:20 am

hurshy

along with its anagram, no6

10:21 am

mael

it's in the english dictionary enable uses :)

10:22 am

mael

the one no6 anagram isn't in there, right? the plural

10:22 am

MollyL

I don't think any of the dictionaries Enable used are still in print 😊

10:22 am

mael

ah, but the other one is!

10:22 am

hurshy

if you mean sounds, then you are correct

10:22 am

mael

which is also greek, haha

10:23 am

hurshy

that's what i was saying

10:23 am

mael

I really don't think so either, Molly

10:23 am

mael

thanks for it, Hurshy, I always forget that one

10:24 am

hurshy

it's a cool word

10:24 am

mael

it's the plural of a babblet that I've finally seen enough to remember

10:25 am

mael

oh wait, it isn't the plural they're just related

10:26 am

MollyL

I was wondering how you thought that word was a plural

10:27 am

mael

of nous? yeah.

10:28 am

MollyL

Aren't you talking about the no6 that sounds like the en6?

10:28 am

mael

yes, I thought the no6 was the plural of the babblet nous, which is a related term in greek

10:35 am

mkg

TH hurshy for no 11 clue!!!!!!!

10:36 am

mkg

Ty

10:36 am

mkg

Still searching but at lleast i now have the correct stat.

10:36 am

MollyL

I get so lost in these chats

10:37 am

mkg

Molly i agree. I am confused by clues flying all about.

10:37 am

mkg

There was a clue for re and po 8. So i was vewry confused.

10:38 am

mkg

Is the 11 based on another word that is an 8?

10:39 am

mkg

I think it more than likely is based on some 8 letter word.

10:44 am

mkg

Well i am stumped. Went to lickety and word before it is aseven.

10:48 am

lynxxx

You are correct - the 8 letter word is another word for an answer

the E & N are anagrams (I think)

10:54 am

Sorry not ne 4, but the 5 which is plural is from that N.

10:54 am

mkg

Sorry

10:54 am

mkg

The plural is not proper english.

10:54 am

hokie carla

hmm, thought I had that, thanks

10:55 am

periwinkle

what are the stats for the 3rd row lone N please

10:56 am

hokie carla

I believe that's no7/28

10:56 am

lynxxx

no6.18

10:57 am

periwinkle

ok I have an no6 18 but from another N. will look some more

10:57 am

periwinkle

or maybe it is no7 I am confused

10:57 am

lynxxx

yes - not the face one

10:59 am

lynxxx

P - if you have the en6 - it is an anagram for the no6

10:59 am

hokie carla

I don't see how the no7 could come from any other N

10:59 am

periwinkle

I have the E and I have an N but not from that N

10:59 am

MollyL

It doesn't. It's the lone N. The 6/18 comes from another tile

11:00 am

periwinkle

I think it might be no7 but I do not see it

11:00 am

hokie carla

11:01 am

periwinkle

ty carla. I think lyn was trying to confuse me and she succeeded :)

11:02 am

hokie carla

so I have one no6. the one en6 anagram I tried to make from it doesn't work.

11:02 am

HarryHood

ah! got the lone N!

11:02 am

lynxxx

possibly! bit hard to see which letters come from some times

11:02 am

HarryHood

now for the lone E.

cybernan

sorry - have that one -- looking for the fo 6/27 -- looks like it might be part of a 6-7 combo

11:55 am

MollyL

Nan, sounds like past tense of silver money

11:55 am

MollyL

Oh that sounds like something toxic

11:56 am

hokie carla

that one rhymes with what you can use to kill someone by hiding in food

11:56 am

sammysmom

iam 81 and for the first time , i am having fruit loops for breakfast

11:56 am

MollyL

Good for you SMom!

11:56 am

MollyL

What's for lunch? Cotton candy?

11:57 am

cybernan

ty carla - new one for me

11:57 am

MollyL

Carla always gets the thanks, even when she clues second

11:58 am

sammysmom

godis gonna get us for giving this crap to our babies !!! i thnk i feel it in my knees right now.

11:59 am

hokie carla

I love a good froot loop

12:00 pm

sammysmom

some girls actually marry them.

12:00 pm

MollyL

I was never much into Fruit Loops, but I loved Capn Crunch as a kid. Equally crappy for you.

12:00 pm

cybernan

sorry molly -- saw the silver clue but not the other

12:01 pm

sammysmom

yup

12:03 pm

hokie carla

I always liked Froot Loops and Fruity Pebbles.

12:04 pm

bichon

I liked Farina

12:11 pm

MollyL

Cream of Wheat? Ew, not me. Especially not as a kid.

12:12 pm

cybernan

loved it as a kid - can't stand it now

12:12 pm

cybernan

oatmeal porridge with maple syrup on top :)

12:15 pm

bichon

We eat Wheatina

12:17 pm

cybernan

pe 7/32, not the marbles please?

12:23 pm

cybernan

whatever it is, it's not in the word list

12:27 pm

Uneaixoise

Loved Sugar Pops....."Sugar Pops are Tops!"

12:28 pm

hokie carla

I have 3 but not sure what the marbles are. I also still need 12 P's

12:28 pm

hokie carla

sorry, I have 2, not 3

12:29 pm

cybernan

comes just before our babbler in the list

12:30 pm

cybernan

does not begin with stare at

12:35 pm

MollyL

I love how all the cereals with "sugar" in their names now have sugar OUT of the name. Sugar Pops are just Pops.

12:37 pm

hokie carla

ok, I don't have that one

12:38 pm

MollyL

Ends in charged particle

12:39 pm

sammysmom

still stuck on no-11 ??

12:40 pm

hokie carla

thanks, molly

12:40 pm

MollyL

SMom, you get a ________ card in an invitation to fill out and send back to let them know how many will attend. Add a negative prefix

12:41 pm

cybernan

ns

12:43 pm

sammysmom

thank you molkly

12:43 pm

sammysmom

molly even

12:43 pm

cybernan

have the pe 7 that ends with the charged particle - there is another one in the middle

12:44 pm

cybernan

oh - I"m thinking of a word from yesterdays grid

12:44 pm

MollyL

*Blank stare*

12:45 pm

cybernan

guess molly's clue was not for the pe 7

12:45 pm

Soodle

My son is getting married next month. Instead of the cards Molly referred to - they have a dedicated email address set up for the RSVPs.

12:46 pm

MollyL

There are three pe7. The one that starts with stare, the one that ends with charged particle and the very last pe word. Nothing "in the middle"

12:46 pm

hokie carla

molly clued the PE7 and the NO11

12:46 pm

cybernan

that seems to be the modern way, soodle -- don't know what they do for invitees that have no computers.

12:49 pm

Soodle

I asked that very question, Nan. Those with no computers ask a family member/friend to reply on their behalf (I was told).

12:49 pm

cybernan

sp 8 and that pe 7 are my last 2 -- any clues please?

12:49 pm

MollyL

The very last pe7 ends in light switch positions

12:49 pm

MollyL

That is all three pe7 clued

12:50 pm

hokie carla

maybe french father? + charged particles

12:50 pm

hokie carla

particle singular

12:51 pm

hokie carla

I do not have any sp yet

12:51 pm

MollyL

I clued the one that ends in charged particle and Nan said she had it

12:51 pm

Soodle

Evita with a double cons in her surname, plural?

12:51 pm

MollyL

I give up

12:52 pm

hokie carla

she also said she had the scottish one, and soodle just clued the 3rd, so all 3 have been clued 2x now.

12:53 pm

cybernan

ty that was it -- thought the charged particle clue was for a different word

12:53 pm

hokie carla

ok, good. was going to recommend you reread the chat.

12:54 pm

cybernan

I said I had the marbles

12:54 pm

cybernan

sp 8 please?

12:55 pm

hokie carla

not sponsor, for a couple of reasons. but I keep seeing that.

12:56 pm

MollyL

You are on the right track Carla

12:57 pm

cybernan

me too, but sponsors is not there

12:57 pm

hokie carla

wondered about sponsee but no

12:59 pm

hokie carla

got it, now how to clue

1:00 pm

MollyL

Don't mention a charged particle, whatever you do

1:00 pm

hokie carla

well, technically it does end that way

1:00 pm

cybernan

got it - ty molly

1:00 pm

MollyL

Technically so did the other word I clued but that didn't make it well received.

1:01 pm

hokie carla

alrighty, I gotta fold my laundry. still 41 left. TTFN

1:02 pm

cybernan

4:38 pm

moolingwa

4:38 pm

hokie carla

4:46 pm

72 Temple Owl

i tried once to get help with pangram but no site does the trick

4:47 pm

moolingwa

4:47 pm

72 Temple Owl

sometimes they just jump right out at you...

4:48 pm

moolingwa

yeah, I'd say about two thirds, I get a pangram as my first word...but I look for it first too

4:48 pm

hokie carla

they have to jump out at me or I won't see it. but I don't use any aids for the bee.

4:49 pm

72 Temple Owl

once i was curious to try.

4:50 pm

moolingwa

I mostly just like to complain about their dictionary

4:50 pm

hokie carla

TO, you can look here to get a good idea of what it starts with https://tinyurl.com/4hmzez3d

4:50 pm

72 Temple Owl

well, it is a real mind exercise, that's the point, no? like here, if everything is clued there's little point.

4:51 pm

hokie carla

exactly

4:51 pm

72 Temple Owl

to me, at least, i want to exercise my mind

4:52 pm

moolingwa

I agree TO...and I'm okay with not finishing

4:52 pm

72 Temple Owl

but here i want to finish so will get a couple of clues when needed.

5:04 pm

5:13 pm

My mum calls me Tobes

5:13 pm

moolingwa

that last syllable can be very challenging

5:14 pm

hokie carla

my family has never had a problem with 2 syllables 😜

5:14 pm

moolingwa

regional challenges ;)

5:14 pm

moolingwa

NZ/OZ are fond of dropping the last syllable, or adding one if you don't have it

5:14 pm

hokie carla

actually both my brothers have nicknames and when I was a kid that used to bother me that I didn't.

5:14 pm

moolingwa

5:15 pm
