12:26 am

mkg

Yeah rain!

12:27 am

cybernan

hi all - top row dark, but way behind on the 7-8-9's

12:29 am

Rainiqui

Examples of mo 9 would be carrots, lettuce and radishes

12:29 am

mkg

Vegetables does not begin with mo. Hmmmm. Dont know the word

12:30 am

justafreep

mothingsinasalad!

12:31 am

mkg

Perfect justafreep. Perfect.

12:33 am

mkg

Is it two words rain??????

12:33 am

cybernan

I'd call them veggies too

12:34 am

mkg

Is it a latin word?

12:34 am

rastapopolous

my mind jumped right to monocots, except 1) it's not on the board and 2) none of those plants are actually monocots

12:34 am

Rainiqui

Those examples are SINGLE fruit plants

12:35 am

mkg

Fruit? I thought veggies. I have first part as single. But then not sure what it could be.

12:36 am

mkg

Two words. First word means single. Not sure what second part could be. Hmmm

12:38 am

Rainiqui

The last part is ancient greek for fruit, however in today's parlance, one would think fish

12:39 am

justafreep

I predict you're gonna give yourself a fish slap when you get it....

12:40 am

mkg

Great clue rain. Ty. Got the two words. The 8/9 and off to sleep. Ty

12:40 am

Rainiqui

Because I live under a rock, I have just become aware that catalytic converter theft is up 325% in a year, due to precious/rare metals they contain.

7:33 am

bichon

We keep our Prius locked in the garage

7:33 am

Deeha

7:36 am

BzznBea

Several small churches here have had their CC's removed from their vans.

7:48 am

aslindy

7:48 am

rururocks

I was reading yesterday that there are baptist preachers down Bea's way that are saying that drinking beer makes men effeminate

7:48 am

sukee

lol...goodnight John Boy

7:48 am

MollyL

It was a TV show where they spent forever saying good night to each member of the family

7:48 am

mael

lol ru

7:48 am

rururocks

it's a hokey old tv show mael

7:49 am

mael

I missed that one, molly :)

7:49 am

MollyL

Interesting temperance tactic, Ru

7:50 am

sukee

Do they have shares in Jack Daniels? :)

7:50 am

rururocks

it was pretty funny.. most of those guys are complete whack jobs

7:50 am

saanichcat

speaking of temperance tactics, Canada Health has just declared that anyone who has more than two drinks a WEEK is a lush

7:50 am

sukee

Same guys that think tRump is the second coming of Jesus :)

7:50 am

mael

I think their list of what DOESN'T make men effeminate is probably shorter

7:51 am

mael

I saw that, saani. Turns out I'm a lush!

7:51 am

sukee

Well, they are saying for health reasons you shouldn't have more than two drinks a week.

7:51 am

MollyL

Lots of lushes up there in Canada thenb

7:51 am

rururocks

i think lately sukee a lot of the evangelicals are moving away from trump and not supporting him

7:51 am

mael

I also shouldn't eat cold cuts, but eh

7:51 am

sukee

I haven't had a drink in years so I'm fine :)

7:52 am

sukee

Well, at least that is something ru

7:52 am

sukee

He's probably too liberal for them :)

7:52 am

rururocks

well.. when i'm on vacation up there this summer, i'm going to push up the national average :D

7:52 am

sukee

Go for it

7:53 am

sukee

pare

7:53 am

mael

I think their national average is doing fine even without you, ru :)

7:53 am

sukee

oops,

7:53 am

sukee

And I had that one already.

7:53 am

rururocks

I'm just trying to help :D

7:54 am

sukee

It is so overcast here with freezing rain coming. It's so dark...

7:54 am

mael

same here sukee

7:54 am

mael

I hate this weather

7:54 am

aslindy

we have rain at just above freezing. my least favorite weather

7:55 am

sukee

I'd rather have all the snow we had last year than this. Rainy weather gives me headaches.

7:55 am

aslindy

I had to go outside with the dogs. they didn't want to go out long enough to potty

7:55 am

mael

I will take snow over freezing rain any day

7:55 am

aslindy

7:56 am

aslindy

8:04 am

MollyL

Are you back to the 150 proof Ru?

8:05 am

rururocks

only in my youth molly.. I'm a 80 proof guy these days

8:06 am

sukee

The strongest alcohol I ever drank was Southern Comfort, I was more into wine.

8:07 am

rururocks

ugh.. too sweet for me

8:07 am

sukee

Hey, I tried it because Janis Joplin drank it and I found out I liked it :)

8:08 am

MollyL

Southern Comfort is very sweet.

8:08 am

rururocks

well that explains it then

8:08 am

rururocks

Janis was something for sure

8:09 am

sukee

I was into her in the 70s, her and Jim :)

8:09 am

BzznBea

I'm still into them.

8:09 am

MollyL

I'm assuming that was Southern Comfort 100. The regular stuff is only 70 proof

8:10 am

Aloyisius

etas oats

8:10 am

sukee

Well, yes, I still listen to them. Don't try to emulate them any more :)

8:10 am

MollyL

And little lambsy divies

8:11 am

BzznBea

I thought it was "and little lambs eat ivy"?

8:12 am

sukee

Googling gets you "Mairzy doats and dozy doats and liddle lamzy divey"

8:14 am

sukee

Now that song will be going through me head all day.

8:14 am

BzznBea

It also gives you the way I learned it as "Mares eat o4. Does eat o4. Little lambs eat ivy. Kids eat ivy too."

8:15 am

sukee

Who knew the name of a well-known author is accepted here.

8:15 am

mael

hmmm sukee, now I'm looking

8:16 am

mael

oh that one!

8:16 am

mael

yeah

8:17 am

rururocks

is that where the Ivy League came from?

8:19 am

MollyL

Here's to Ruby. Her ca5/14 is in the grid today. Miss you Ruby.

8:20 am

BzznBea

I think the Ivy league came about because of the ivy clinging to the old buildings.

8:20 am

BzznBea

Here's to Ruby!

8:20 am

rururocks

I'm kidding bea

8:21 am

mael

8:51 am

mael

8:51 am

MollyL

Man, you brainiacs just whip right through three hundred word grids.

8:52 am

mael

there weren't many strange words today

8:52 am

hokie carla

just getting here but I almost grayed the top row on my phone last night. stupid 1 A left that I can't see. and yes, I know I'm not in the brainiac club.

8:53 am

mael

my biggest challenge is that I didn't see any ST words at first, lol

8:53 am

hokie carla

a dog is an arfer, I say it every time

8:53 am

hokie carla

8:54 am

8:54 am

8:55 am

hokie carla

9:01 am

hokie carla

well, it didn't matter, but thanks

9:02 am

hurshy

i'm pretty surprised sp8 counts but not sp7 if you remove the i from sp8. i would have thought it would be the other way around, i can see the meaning of sp7 but not really sp8 as being necessary

9:02 am

hurshy

ahh i see, the sp8 is for geology not boxing

9:03 am

BzznBea

sp8 is a mineral

9:07 am

hokie carla

these F's are hard, right?

9:09 am

hurshy

i have 14 of them

9:09 am

hurshy

so, slightly but not tooo much

9:09 am

hokie carla

yeah, I found some after that and got to 14

9:11 am

hurshy

currently wrestling with i words

9:11 am

BzznBea

They are mostly im

9:11 am

hokie carla

yeah, I have only 4 of those

9:11 am

hurshy

ok, i have 3 it and 2 im so far, so i guess more im!

9:12 am

hurshy

i keep having phantoms for that, like impart, import, impair

9:12 am

BzznBea

on the right track

9:12 am

hokie carla

I have 3 im and 1 it

9:12 am

hokie carla

so I guess I'll look for a couple of IT

9:12 am

mael

there's some good im* words in there, hursh

9:12 am

welki

well it's not spermite

9:13 am

hurshy

haha, of course i had a weird im7 and missed more normal ones

9:13 am

hokie carla

Good, yikes! afternoon!

11:59 am

penquis

hi melon...

12:00 pm

melonheadjujube

I have a new way of getting thru the grid, just to amuse myself. I start with whatever word, then I try to make the next word start with the liast tile of the previous word. admittedly, I have to guess with all these Rs. Not all tiles work as a final letter, but I try to make my little game last.

12:00 pm

melonheadjujube

Hi, penquis!

12:01 pm

melonheadjujube

rhea

12:01 pm

penquis

well i need a break.....bbl for my last 65....bye all...

12:02 pm

melonheadjujube

Holy moly, what a grid. I do have actual things to do today. I'll aim for NBT/NBS at most.

12:02 pm

melonheadjujube

ciao, penquis!

12:08 pm

MollyL

It is amusing how many variations on "how I play this game" there are.

12:10 pm

cybernan

12:10 pm

HarryHood

I have 26. it's tough

12:12 pm

MollyL

Harry, what did you think of The Fableman's?

12:12 pm

HarryHood

it was ok.

12:12 pm

HarryHood

kids didn't enjoy it

12:13 pm

HarryHood

adults so-so

12:13 pm

MollyL

Thank you. It's being touted as this great film and I thought it was just okay. I get that he wanted to tell his own story, but I always expect a little more than that from Spielberg.

12:13 pm

cybernan

can't believe I missed harry's book!

12:14 pm

cybernan

probably a mental block

12:16 pm

4:15 pm

moolingwa

found a c

4:15 pm

moolingwa

found two more c's

4:16 pm

moolingwa

maybe you should go somewhere else hoke

4:16 pm

hokie carla

well, I'm also blinded by the sun, so I should, or I should grow taller

4:17 pm

moolingwa

I understand that being 7 ft tall has its disadvantages

4:18 pm

moolingwa

found two F's

4:18 pm

hokie carla

I can't imagine any

4:19 pm

moolingwa

yeah, I made them up

4:19 pm

hokie carla

I mean shaq was bad at free-throws but I don't think that was because of his size

4:20 pm

moolingwa

must have been awful to fly as Shaw

4:20 pm

moolingwa

er Shaq

4:21 pm

hokie carla

I know he had to get a custom made bike too

4:21 pm

moolingwa

I mean I'm 6-1 and it isn't that much fun

4:22 pm

hokie carla

I'm 5'3" and it isn't either

4:22 pm

moolingwa

I wonder if the planes that NBA teams charter are much better seating

4:23 pm

moolingwa

My 11 year old daughter is already 5-3

4:23 pm

hokie carla

oh, you meant flying. I thought you meant being that height in general.

4:23 pm

dcseain

i’m a reasonably average 5’11”

4:23 pm

hokie carla

flying is fine

4:23 pm

moolingwa

that is very reasonably sized seain

4:24 pm

hokie carla

well, I had girl classmates when I was 11 who were that tall and never grew again

4:24 pm

moolingwa

Aside from having to try and buy shirts a little longer, it hasn't really been an issue

4:24 pm

moolingwa

well she came out 95th percentile in height, so I suspect she's got a few more inches to grow

4:25 pm

dcseain

my issue with upper bodywear is that i have a lorge chest and broad shoulders. I need things cut for big, but not tall.

4:25 pm

hokie carla

that's good, I hope she does

4:25 pm

moolingwa

We could do a form of Jack Sprat seain

4:26 pm

hokie carla

that's why I started sewing clothes, seain, so I could make things to fit me.

4:26 pm

moolingwa

my mum is 5-3

4:26 pm

dcseain

I did discover that underarmor big/tall L fits me well.

4:26 pm

hokie carla

I have long legs and short torso

4:27 pm

moolingwa

shearpet - a domesticated animal that required regular trims of its pelt

4:27 pm

4:28 pm

dcseain

sigh, that’s a bummer

4:28 pm

moolingwa

4:30 pm

hokie carla

I can't even look for words right now because of the sun. about to get on a different road so we'll see what happens. or hopefully it will set soon.
