I'm probably being grid blind, but can anyone give me stats, please, for any of the 4 Es in the fourth row, fourth column?

4:11 am

mattygroves

Found one!

4:11 am

mattygroves

The trick to this seems to be to ask for a clue and then find a word immediately after

4:12 am

mattygroves

(EL6/21, if anyone's asking)

4:12 am

mattygroves

And another (a 4)

ItalianGreyhound

RA 8/50 is an odd word - been searching for a compound with the RA 4/5

5:33 am

ItalianGreyhound

Okay, when did all day E.D. ads become okay on main stream radio and TV? Enough already!

5:34 am

sukee

5:34 am

ItalianGreyhound

5:35 am

ItalianGreyhound

imagine little 6 year old Suzy turning from the TV and asking "mommy whats ED?"

Scrabbler

I am finally here. I had to prep charts for the day.

ItalianGreyhound

Hi, Scrab

6:14 am

Scrabbler

Hi IG. How did you do yesterday with the dangerous weather?

6:15 am

ItalianGreyhound

very stormy, but dodged the tornados

6:15 am

Scrabbler

Phew.

6:17 am

ItalianGreyhound

yes, at least 5 small tornados in the metro area

6:17 am

Scrabbler

I saw some photos.

6:17 am

ItalianGreyhound

tornado sirens were blaring all morning

6:18 am

Scrabbler

Yikes.

6:18 am

Scrabbler

So, you hide in a safe place?

6:20 am

ItalianGreyhound

no, the radar didnt show one getting too close; maybe 5 miles away

6:21 am

Scrabbler

What is your threshold for retreating into safety?

6:23 am

ItalianGreyhound

basically watching the radar, then watching from the patio

6:23 am

Scrabbler

Haha. I guess experience helps.

6:24 am

ItalianGreyhound

you can see when it starts to arrive, then you head for the closet

6:24 am

Scrabbler

I prefer our snowstorms.

6:25 am

ItalianGreyhound

had a small tornado (80-100 mph) a month ago that blew down some trees next door. You could see it coming across the lake

6:26 am

Scrabbler

Yikes.

6:27 am

Scrabbler

52 left and I must get to the office. Enjoy the day.

6:28 am

ItalianGreyhound

11:21 am

MollyL

Never thought of that animal as scampering. The rodent, maybe. The animal, not so much.

11:35 am

Gillie

Well, a rodent is an animal, but if you were thinking of the large animal with antlers, you aren't likely to see them scampering.

11:35 am

Gillie

And if you do, you should stay well clear.

11:42 am

cherlyq

sorry yeah the scampering was referring to a rodent which is an animal as I understood it

11:44 am

Gillie
