so many grids lately have had newl which isn't really a word, and yet I try it every time.

7:14 am

MollyL

Aw, Kirstie Alley died.

7:14 am

aslindy

she was only 71 :(

7:17 am

hurshy

Bob from Sesame Street also, but he was 90

7:18 am

MollyL

Aw, I loved Bob.

7:19 am

hurshy

yeah all the adults on the show were so nice

7:20 am

hurshy

although one of them ended up having serious mental health issues and life getting really messed up... i forget which one

7:20 am

aslindy

he was awesome

7:21 am

MollyL

Northern Calloway. He was David on the show.

7:22 am

hurshy

thanks molly

7:23 am

MollyL

I remember when the actor who played Mr. Hooper died and they dealt with it on the show. That show only aired once and was never rerun. It was classic and very good for kids in terms of learning about death.

7:23 am

hurshy

yeah

7:34 am

mattygroves

May I have a small clue for the ar8, please?

7:35 am

aslindy

related to blood flow

7:35 am

mattygroves

Ah hah - thank you

7:43 am

MollyL

Oh hilarious. Harry and Meghan's "documentary" director quit. Seems no one can work with them.

7:43 am

hurshy

:(

7:44 am

mael

hey all

7:45 am

BzznBea

Morning, mael

7:46 am

mael

morning bea :)

7:46 am

hurshy

idk if more than one piece is being made, but i think i saw one called "Spare"

7:54 am

MollyL

Spare is Harry's book.

7:54 am

hurshy

ahhh

7:55 am

mael

knowing nothing about anyone, I have a lot of sympathy for anyone growing up in that kind of perennially visible and restrictive enviroment

7:56 am

MollyL

The Netflix thing is a two night series on December 8th and 15th. Season's Greetings.

7:57 am

MollyL

Visible and restrictive, yes. There are also a TON of perks.

7:58 am

mael

sure, there are perks. There's a lot of hidden downsides though.

7:59 am

mael

just remember what happened to his mother...

7:59 am

hurshy

but would any of us trade our lives for royal ones? i sure wouldn't. at least not in england, idk if other countries that still have it are less awful

7:59 am

mael

me neither

7:59 am

mael

no thank you

8:00 am

BzznBea

It's archaic.

8:01 am

MollyL

I have always wondered why it still exists.

8:02 am

hurshy

well, a lot of people have to feel strongly about it to make a change

8:02 am

hurshy

unless the royal family just decided to quit

8:02 am

hurshy

which they should, but, they haven't

8:04 am

hurshy

name that proper noun! anti-nausea med for pets

8:05 am

hurshy

kind of an obscure one unless your pet has happened to need it, lol

8:05 am

Uneaixoise

Flagyl :-)

8:05 am

hurshy

that's not in the grid! lol

8:06 am

Uneaixoise

I know :-)

8:18 am

MollyL

Ha ha ha, the royal family deciding to quit. Not ever.

8:20 am

saanichcat

I think that monarchy will have a short life Molly - the upcomers are all losers IMHO

8:21 am

BzznBea

Anyone else having difficulties with this grid?

8:21 am

hurshy

yeah, a bit, bea

8:21 am

saanichcat

8:33 am

hurshy

lol

8:42 am

phaeton

clue for wi8 pls?

8:42 am

mael

what happens to the weather as we get further into this season, phae :)

8:43 am

hurshy

mmm, i think that'd be a different word really

8:43 am

hurshy

it's more like... someone who spends the season in a certain place, i think

8:43 am

Shirlockc

that doesn't seem like it should be a word, but thanks for the clue

8:43 am

hokie carla

well, I did try -ier and it's not there but then got the actual 8 letter one, thx

8:44 am

mael

you're right hursh, but i didn't even think about that definition

8:44 am

phaeton

ty mael

8:44 am

mael

I just thought it was a weird one, my bad! :)

8:44 am

hurshy

it IS a weird one, i doubt people use it much

8:47 am

MollyL

Definition: Any person or animal (but especially a bird) that visits or resides in a specified location during the wi6

8:48 am

MollyL

Florida is full of them, but they are referred to as "snow birds"

8:51 am

hurshy

yeah, one can understand the concept certainly but generally we don't USE the actual word

8:55 am

hokie carla

should I know this right side E?

8:56 am

hurshy

phantom: tenrec (for long time babblers, at least)

8:56 am

9:36 am

rururocks

9:36 am

mael

9:37 am

rururocks

the mail here is so slow it's unbelievable

9:58 am

MollyL

That is a really nice thing for the post office to do.

10:04 am
