I am still crying after the awful shock of our beloved Queen dying yesterday. Haven't been able to sleep or to concentrate on anything since. So I'm here in the hope of distracting myself and perhaps tiring myself out enough to sleep.

dealing with me8 right now myself, starts next month. Surprised the heck out of me to see it here! Spent this very morning sorting out details at two different offices.

1:01 am

rbud

is that what they call "synchronicity"? or just a plain old coinky-dink, haha!

1:09 am

justafreep

maybe a combo - synchrodink!

1:22 am

rbud

hahaha! I like that! :D

1:33 am

ItalianGreyhound

6:03 am

ChampFit

6:03 am

ChampFit

I'm still missing 3 tho.

6:04 am

ItalianGreyhound

didnt see that. havent listed yet

6:04 am

ChampFit

Me either, just noticed that in the chat. BBL...good luck!

6:11 am

ItalianGreyhound

been looking for compounds with the OV word - guess there arent any. time to list

6:19 am

MollyL

It is a good idea to compare the list total to the grid total.

6:21 am

MollyL

Not sure how the list is off sometimes if it's based on Enable, but it is.

6:24 am

mattygroves

Different versions of Enable, I'd guess

6:24 am

ItalianGreyhound

dont know, and good morning

6:38 am

ItalianGreyhound

some funny words using the DI 4/10 here - just sayin

6:40 am

count on the Hebrew words for big point counts

I haven't found any Hebrew words, but then, I rarely do

7:31 am

hurshy

phantoms: evoke, revoke

7:34 am

hurshy

wow, totally did not expect that 8/9 combo to count! good thing i make it a habit to try things just in case

7:35 am

origami

I just tried that and was surprised also.

7:36 am

hurshy

7:41 am

hurshy

phantoms: serve, reserve, deserve

7:48 am

MollyL

You forgot preserve

7:50 am

hurshy

well there's no P, so, i don't really find that a phantom

7:55 am

mael

phantom for me is harvest, I can't not see it

8:02 am

hurshy

yeah i've been seeing that too

8:07 am

mael

HOET is in the grid, it's a sign :)

8:09 am

hurshy

lol

8:10 am

MollyL

HOET is in a lot of grids

8:11 am

mael

it's always a sign

8:12 am

hurshy

took me a long time to think of a pangram for today's bee

8:12 am

mael

I haven't found it yet either

8:12 am

mael

yesterday's had three nice ones

8:13 am

MollyL

Ru gets the pangrams in seconds

8:16 am

mael

Ru's good at it

8:17 am

mael

oh wait, never mind. I did find the pangram and it's a good one. That's what I get for spelling bee before coffee

8:17 am

MollyL

Nobody spells that pangram the way The Spelling Bee does. That is why it is so hard to find.

8:18 am

mael

today?

8:18 am

MollyL

It is the correct spelling, but people almost always misspell it.

8:19 am

mael

I thought this was the only way to spell it

8:20 am

MollyL

It is, like I said, it is a commonly misspelled word.

8:20 am

mael

but how would you misspell it?

8:21 am

mael

I guess you could leave a letter off but that doesn't sound close

8:26 am

MollyL

People think that vowel doubled looks wrong. There is another word that has it doubled that is also commonly misspelled.

8:27 am

mael

it's such a fun double vowel too

8:31 am

HarryHood

wow found the 8/9. can't believe that's accepted.

8:32 am

MollyL

You all should play earliler. Words like that get blurted all the time.

8:44 am

Ah Jane and her brother. We learned to read by repetition. Repetition, repetition, repetition.

Di** and Jane and Sally. Spot the dog. But what was the cats name??????? I dont remember. Spot and ……………

12:21 pm

cybernan

good morning all -- I think the cat was called puff

12:23 pm

mkg

YES! TY NAN. It was puff. Right.

12:27 pm

cybernan

Just finished watching the king's first public address.

12:40 pm

MollyL

Probably the only King that will ever reign who has a "Tampongate" associated with him. 😊

12:44 pm

cybernan

I had forgotton all about that youthful indiscretion. I think he is more well known now for all the youth and environmental programs he has created.

12:48 pm

MollyL

Youthful indiscretion? He was 41 at the time, not 16.

12:54 pm

ItalianGreyhound

AR 6/36: another new one for me

1:05 pm

swmbo

Most people have forgotten it cybernan, most of us remember all the good things he has said and done. I don't think any of us can brag that we have a spotless past, with no mistakes or missteps.

1:08 pm

cybernan

Agreed swmbo -- and considering that you are living in a glass house, Molly, you might have second thoughts about throwing stones.

1:16 pm

cybernan

ty IG - strange word indeed

1:18 pm

MollyL

I'm not throwing stones. I thought the Tampongate thing was hilarious.

1:20 pm

MollyL

Throwing stones happened yesterday when someone said something negative about the Queen and her treatment of Diana. But no one jumped all over that.

1:20 pm

cybernan

yeah - about as hilarious as Bill getting a blow job in the oval office.

1:21 pm

swmbo

Well, Molly, lots of us don't thonk it was hilarious. I think your remark was just intended to put people's backs up. Which it has, congrats to you, YOU are indeed hilarious.

1:22 pm

MollyL

It was Nan, it was right up there with the Clinton/Monica thing.

1:23 pm

cybernan

orry - as swmbo said - neither was hilarious. Constantly bringing up a persons mistakes isn't hilarious either.

1:24 pm

MollyL

Constantly?

1:25 pm

cybernan

I don't think you realize how many negative or critical comments you make in the chat.

1:25 pm

swmbo

I have noticed that cybernan.

1:25 pm

Bugsaw

and me

1:26 pm

mattygroves

Me too.

1:26 pm

MollyL

Okay, sorry for the Charles joke. I didn't realize it was such a sore spot.

1:27 pm

swmbo

Negative commnets are the sore spot. Not just about the king.

1:27 pm

cybernan

thank you - apology accepted

1:27 pm

Bugsaw

if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all

1:28 pm

swmbo

I agree Bugsaw.

1:34 pm

cybernan

struggling with the a's in the last col.

1:35 pm

ch1212

there are a number that use the word 'to swear'

1:37 pm

cybernan

av 4, you mean?

1:38 pm

ch1212

no, at6/18 - to swear to something.

1:38 pm

swmbo

the 'to swear' words are at 6,8,8 and 7

1:39 pm

cybernan

oh - yess I have all those

1:39 pm

cybernan

I need 5 from the top a one and 2 from the bottom

1:40 pm

ch1212

I've got all the bottom ones. Did you get the measure of land and plural?

1:40 pm

swmbo

do you have the av's?

1:41 pm

cybernan

no! that closes the bottom one. have av 4 x2

1:41 pm

cybernan

ar x 4: 6-4-4-4

1:42 pm

swmbo

OK. the third av is almost the same as the second: change one vowel. the 6 and 7 are are extentions of the last av

1:43 pm

cybernan

ty swmbo

1:44 pm

cybernan

just one at from that a?

1:46 pm

swmbo

not sure what you mean. there are 5 at's, 4 are about swearing to

1:46 pm

swmbo

the at4/4 is a common short word

1:48 pm

cybernan

o k - have all the at's then

1:49 pm

cybernan

think it's time for me to list :)

1:50 pm

cybernan

ah - am missing a couple of ar's

2:01 pm

2:05 pm

ch1212

Got the brand new booster with protection against the Omnicron variant yesterday. Side effects not as bad as the last booster, which laid me out for 3 days. But I've got a huge event coming up in 3 weeks and wanted to get as much protection in as possible before mingling with thousands of people.

On an unrelated note, sympathy to all who are mourning the loss of Her Majesty today. As long as I've been alive (67 years), she has been Queen. There will never be another like her.

It's really hard to clue - have you tried MoreWords? (The me7 is the plural, but it's a weird plural - Hebrew.)

cybernan

Gillie

I searched the chat log hoping someone else had clued it, but I didn't see anything.

10:23 pm

cybernan

did you know it, or monkey it?

Gillie

I found it using MoreWords

10:24 pm

cybernan

10:24 pm

cybernan

10:25 pm

Gillie

It's given in the definition

10:25 pm

Gillie

Otherwise I wouldn't have known it was the plural

10:26 pm

cybernan

mmm - not a letter added to the end

10:27 pm

Gillie

No - it's weirder than that

10:30 pm

cybernan

10:30 pm

10:31 pm
