Hoffman movie not accepted - super grid tho!

6:02 am

aslindy

hello all

6:08 am

saanichcat

hi aslindy, big grid today

6:08 am

aslindy

sure is. yet I'm slow to find words for the right column

6:09 am

aslindy

first word I saw was british slang, not accepted

6:09 am

saanichcat

same here!

6:09 am

aslindy

I still don't know the other w

6:10 am

aslindy

how are you today?

6:10 am

saanichcat

pretty well thanks, and you?

6:11 am

saanichcat

the other w is wa 4/9

6:11 am

aslindy

doing ok. colorful. broken toe has a lot of bruising.

6:11 am

aslindy

thanks for the clue, I monkeyed it

6:12 am

saanichcat

broken toe? That must be so painful, hope it gets better soon

6:13 am

aslindy

yes. I did go to urgent care the day it happened, and got a fracture shoe. that really helps to not keep hurting it.

6:14 am

aslindy

still, one of my dogs manages to step on that foot pretty much every day

6:14 am

saanichcat

they have come along way from plaster casts, for sure.

6:14 am

saanichcat

oh no! why does that always happen?!

6:14 am

aslindy

indeed. or just taping it to another toe. seriously, how would that help.

6:16 am

aslindy

heh. probably for the same reason I have kicked several things with that same foot since then, too. thankfully, the shoe is protecting me from my own clumsiness, at least.

6:17 am

saanichcat

when do you think it will be better?

6:17 am

aslindy

they said 4 - 6 weeks. it's been 5 days so far.

6:18 am

saanichcat

at least it's winter...good luck with it

6:18 am

thank you

aslindy

7:34 am

Scrabbler

Which toe did you break, aslindy?

7:34 am

BzznBea

I say enable takes liberties with those two letters on the end of words.

7:34 am

aslindy

left foot little toe

7:34 am

Scrabbler

The one that catches on furniture so easily.

7:35 am

aslindy

went to change from slippers to shoes, took off slippers, turned around and kicked a step

7:35 am

aslindy

I was excited to be able to take my dogs for a walk for the first time in weeks. then, not. :(

7:35 am

Scrabbler

Ouch. Big ouch. Was it dislocated?

7:36 am

aslindy

8:14 am

hurshy

ah, sorry to hear that

8:15 am

8:31 am

hurshy

i have one of those also! :D

8:31 am

hokie carla

that was assumed

8:32 am

hurshy

but you can't assume these things. you know how weird this game is, how sometimes we miss obvious things, etc

8:32 am

hokie carla

the assumption is, if I have found one then you certainly have

8:33 am

MollyL

Then there is that whole ass out of u + me thing
😊

8:33 am

hurshy

well, it might be true a lot of the time, but not EVERY time, owing to the weirdness

8:35 am

MollyL

I know, I don't get continuing to try a word you know is not there.

8:49 am

aslindy

8:49 am

hurshy

it's like pushing the elevator button more than once

8:50 am

aslindy

usually because I'm not sure I spelled it right the first time I tried it

8:50 am

hurshy

you know it won't do anything, but it's a gesture against the frustration of impotence

8:51 am

hurshy

opie, hearing sirens: don't they know i'm trying to nap?

8:52 am

MollyL

Don't look now but Hurshy is having some kind of Mayberry hallucination.

rururocks

I thought the act of repeating oneself when things don't work is a step towards insanity :D

9:00 am

hurshy

it's also a good way to break things

9:00 am

MollyL

That is what Einstein said 😊

9:01 am

hokie carla

rururocks

9:04 am

hokie carla

I have found all kinds of words and UK spellings today that usually stump me and still have a lot left on those tiles. that means there are a lot of words.

9:04 am

hurshy

nevermind, it's just Scots, not silly, lol

9:04 am

hokie carla

hmm, I thought about that word being longer but didn't think to try that, thx.

9:04 am

rururocks

'To bind or knot to bind, that is the question'

9:39 am

9:39 am

MollyL

No one acknowledges the PB thing anymore

9:40 am

mael

I go willingly, but I'm a hockey fan

9:40 am

MollyL

A punnery might take me, a nunnery, never

9:40 am

I'm pretty sure I'd go up in flames if I darkened the doors of a nunnery

9:43 am

hokie carla

sometimes my house is neatish.

9:44 am

I haven't found any -ish words at all, sad

9:45 am

MollyL

Trying real hard, but I am not seeing neatish

9:45 am

hokie carla

I can't remember if I did or not, sad

9:45 am

i haven't found any either

one of my fave expressionist artists is in the grid

9:46 am

hokie carla

pen!

9:46 am

mael

manet is a treasure

9:46 am

penquis

carla!

9:46 am

MollyL

I almost did that as a Name That Proper Noun but figured no one would know it

9:46 am

welki

indeed :)

9:47 am

hokie carla

I almost guessed manet but then was like, is that right, there's manet and monet? I think I learned that here.

9:47 am

hurshy

yes there's Edouard Manet and Claude Monet

9:48 am

mael

the fact that there's a manet and a monet is in fact very confusing, given that they're both impressionists

9:48 am

hurshy

Monet's house and garden in Giverny is so lovely. One of my favorite places that I've visited.

9:48 am

mael

Monet is the waterlilies, for reference :)

9:48 am

welki

that's pretty much where the similarity ends, though - so very different

9:49 am

mael

Manet generally uses a lot of black and dark colors

9:49 am

welki

i used to cut school and go to moma to stare at the waterlilies

9:49 am

mael

I prefer Manet, personally

9:49 am

mael

I go every time I'm in NYC!

9:50 am

welki

me too (my all time favorite is cassatt)

9:50 am

hurshy

you should go L'Orangerie in Paris then

9:50 am

hokie carla

welki was ferris?

9:50 am

hurshy

they have these big long waterlilies in an oval room

9:50 am

mael

but there's a lot of Monet's works at the Boston MFA too

9:50 am

welki

still am, hokie

9:51 am

hokie carla

pretty sure I just saw a Monet at the Biltmore Estate

9:51 am

mael

I love Cassatt!

9:51 am

hokie carla

sorry, there are 2 at biltmore

9:55 am

hokie carla

phantom remnant

9:55 am

welki

phantom emanate

9:56 am

hokie carla

yes, tried that in like a million spellings until I looked up the actual one

9:56 am

MollyL

When did the Biltmore spa drop manicures/pedicures? I know I sent my sister there for a pedicure some years back.

9:57 am

hokie carla

I'm not sure. I didn't know they had. That was in the inn, right?

9:57 am

hokie carla

I'm guessing during covid and then never added back.

9:57 am

hokie carla

but they are still doing other spa stuff?

9:59 am

MollyL

The spa at the Biltmore is only showing massage and skin care. Nail care is now at The Spa at Biltmore Village.

9:59 am

hokie carla

ah, I do remember seeing that at the village this last time and thought it was new. I guess they moved it there then.

10:10 am

hokie carla

well, I am stuck with 44 left. 6-7-12-9-7-1
2nd row has the biggest problem tiles. think I will take a break. good luck.

12:21 pm

penquis

i feel very fortunate since my area is so small....our facility was built by five families who wanted area kids to have a place for exercise all year long....tennis courts, ice rink, and gym areas....they turned it into a nonprofit ten years later...

12:21 pm

hokie carla

wow, that's cool

12:21 pm

12:24 pm

penquis

well i live in the largest town in my county....about 7500 people....

12:26 pm

hokie carla

yeah, mine's about 1300, and the town next to us where I went to high school is about 2000. there was like one rich coal family and some others we thought were rich, but they were prob just appalachian rich and nowhere near maine rich.

12:27 pm

penquis

if i could move an i , I could spell arthritis....

12:27 pm

hokie carla

if ifs and buts were candy and nuts, it'd be christmas all year long

12:27 pm

12:48 pm

MollyL

Oh, never heard of the author

12:49 pm

mael

really? she's quite famous, I'd think

12:49 pm

MollyL

What does she write?

12:50 pm

mael

I guess you could call it speculative fiction, she's been writing since the 60s

12:50 pm

MollyL

What is speculative fiction? Fantasy?

12:50 pm

mael

The Left Hand of Darkness? The Dispossessed? The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas?

12:51 pm

mael

she died a few years ago

12:52 pm

mael

no, fantasy is fantasy. Speculative fiction, if anything, is closer to sci fi. But The Handmaid's Tale is speculative fiction for example

12:53 pm

MollyL

I just looked her up. I don't read the kind of books she wrote. Hence my say what? 😊

12:54 pm

mael

they're very much worth a read for everyone, I'd think

12:54 pm

mael

but I guess there are very few genres I don't read in toto

1:06 pm

hokie carla

I've heard of her but never read any
