7:59 am

hokie carla

8:02 am

hurshy

there's an awful lot of re- that aren't words

8:03 am

hokie carla

I still need 1 T in the 4th col

8:03 am

hurshy

probably the 6/21

8:03 am

hokie carla

probably since I don't see one. TO?

8:04 am

hurshy

8:04 am

8:18 am

hokie carla

I have 5

8:18 am

hokie carla

there are 2 A + other words

8:18 am

hurshy

ok i think i need those

8:19 am

hokie carla

and I just remembered a babblet, so now I just need 1 there

8:19 am

ChampFit

I have 4 A+other words

8:19 am

ChampFit

Actually 5. And one with a double vowel.

8:19 am

hokie carla

I don't see ahorse, so that's not the culprit today

8:20 am

hurshy

i suppose it depends what you count as a + word

8:20 am

hokie carla

yeah, was just thinking the same. not sure champ's criteria vs. mine.

8:20 am

hurshy

like, is it like "ahorse" or is it just like ah5/14 too

8:20 am

ChampFit

One is iffy, but the other 4...

8:20 am

hurshy

well i got two af5s

8:21 am

hokie carla

btw, the babblet i just found is a + my last 4 letter word

8:21 am

hurshy

so that's better

8:21 am

hokie carla

so now 0-4-6-5-1

8:22 am

hokie carla

oh, guess my last one is ah5/14?

8:23 am

8:25 am

ChampFit

There's also an Fi

8:25 am

hurshy

is the fi a compound?

8:25 am

hokie carla

thought for sure I had it with headwear

8:25 am

hokie carla

the fi is one who does

8:26 am

hurshy

aHA!

8:26 am

hurshy

yeah i had thought i had 2 he8 when i saw that hokie

8:26 am

hurshy

but you're half right

8:27 am

hokie carla

aha, like in a car

8:29 am

ChampFit

Done! last word was re621.

8:29 am

hokie carla

well done!

8:29 am

hokie carla

from which R?

8:29 am

hurshy

i have 3 of those

8:30 am

hurshy

one weird of the 3

8:30 am

hokie carla

oh, I only have 1, from the bottom R

8:30 am

hurshy

but we have it sometimes here

8:30 am

ChampFit

4th column

8:30 am

hurshy

you have re6, I married him, i suppose

8:30 am

ChampFit

It's a word I've seen but don't know. Maybe I'll remember it next time.

8:30 am

hurshy

there's took another photo, and there's the spanishy looking babblet

8:31 am

ChampFit

Have a great day everyone!

8:31 am

hokie carla

did not have the photo one. I only had the person who does things with books.will have to think about the spanishy looking one.

8:31 am

hokie carla

bye champ!

8:32 am

hokie carla

not sure at all what the married him clue is

8:33 am

BzznBea

again

8:33 am

hokie carla

I have re5/20, no idea how that would make into a re6/21

8:34 am

BzznBea

do you have the mended again?

8:35 am

BzznBea

that's 6.30

8:35 am

hokie carla

yes, but I thought I was looking for re6/21s

8:35 am

hokie carla

I need 1 R from each. are there 3 re6/21 or 4?

8:36 am

BzznBea

it is the one hursh said looked spanish ends in vowel

8:36 am

hokie carla

guess what, chat was confusing 🤣

8:36 am

MollyL

Chat is often confusing. Too many people talking at once.

8:37 am

hokie carla

finally remembered what I wanted to look for for that one and looked from the correct R. now just one R on the top.

8:37 am

hokie carla

0-3-4-5

8:38 am

hokie carla

ooh, found a 7

8:40 am

hurshy

the married him clue was the re6/21 you already had. last chapter of Jane Eyre, she says, "Re6, I married him." best known direct address of author to audience in literature

8:42 am

MollyL

Of course if you have never read Jane Eyre, that one goes right over your head

8:43 am

BzznBea

Who hasn't read Jane Eyre.

8:43 am

hurshy

yeah it's a great book.

8:43 am

MollyL

Stephen King refers to his fans as constant re6s and addresses them that way in a lot of his books. A lot of people haven't read Jane Eyre.

8:47 am

hokie carla

yeah, I still don't get the jane eyre thing

8:49 am

MollyL

The character is speaking to the person enjoying the book, the re6

8:50 am

hokie carla

ah, thanks for explaining that

8:50 am

MollyL

Did you get the Tom Petty re6?

8:51 am

hurshy

ah, i've never read Stephen King - i have enough nightmares as it is, lol

8:55 am

hokie carla

not sure about the tom petty one

8:55 am

hokie carla

oh yeah, i did

8:56 am

MollyL

I don't know if that is what was referred to as "Spanishy" or not

8:57 am

rururocks

I haven't read Jane Eyre

8:57 am

hokie carla

yes, I think those 2 are the same

8:58 am

hokie carla

ooh, found another 7

8:59 am

MollyL

Are you going to ooh every time you get a 7? 😊

8:59 am

hokie carla

and a 6 to gray last col

8:59 am

hokie carla

0-3-3-3

8:59 am

MollyL

Maybe you should change things up and aah next time.

8:59 am

hokie carla

I'm sure someone would send me to the PB for that

9:00 am

hokie carla

R S6 H F this S is crazy

9:00 am

hurshy

i just finished a book in which a character dies of a broken heart. i want to know how that works.

9:00 am

MollyL

The PB is a thing of the past. People love grid words in the chat now.

9:00 am

hokie carla

I just want to be a finisher of today's grid

9:01 am

hurshy

i don't love grid words in the chat...

9:01 am

MollyL

I want to know why people believe that Noah, his wife, his three sons and their wives were the only people on the Ark and the new world was not reborn without inbreeding.

9:01 am

hokie carla

if you don't call attention to it, it gives nothing away. but when someone says, "ooh, PB for you", it gives it all away.

9:02 am

hokie carla

where did that come from, molly?

9:02 am

hurshy

lol was wondering the same

9:02 am

MollyL

I watched the movie last weekend.

9:02 am

hurshy

i didn't know they had video cameras back then!

9:03 am

MollyL

Yep, and Noah looks strangely like Russell Crowe.

9:03 am

hokie carla

😁

9:03 am

rururocks

that's where good to Noah you came from molly

9:04 am

hokie carla

found an S finally

9:06 am

saanichcat

9:44 am

BzznBea

I think that is just "person".

9:52 am

hokie carla

I always heard the saying with cheerios

9:59 am

player girl

Hi Just bopped in. Molly, Noah's three sons were married, so no inbreeding there. And according to the Bible, first cousins isn't considered inbreeding, so the sons' kids could have populated the world. I know a number of married first cousins couples. It isn't even frowned upon in Judaism.

10:03 am

BzznBea

And I didn't feel like my comment warranted a pissy response.

10:04 am

player girl

Was I being pissy? I didn't mean to be!!!!

10:09 am

BzznBea

No, pg. I'm sorry. I wasn't referring to you.

72 Temple Owl

10:14 am

hokie carla

Lol, I didn't see anything happen nor anyone being pissy. this is like one of the calmest chats ever.

anyone else try shitton? I know a lot of people that use it, though I guess they make 2 words.

12:05 pm

moolingwa

firehot - obvious

12:05 pm

hokie carla

early caveman

12:05 pm

moolingwa

are you saying a shitton of people use shitton?

12:05 pm

hokie carla

yes

12:06 pm

moolingwa

one wonders how a shitton would compare to a US ton

12:06 pm

moolingwa

I wonder if it's like nautical miles vs miles

12:06 pm

hokie carla

or a metric ton. that's a thing, right?

12:06 pm

moolingwa

metric tonne

12:07 pm

moolingwa

although I suspect there are people in the US that would use metric ton

12:07 pm

moolingwa

a metric tonne would be 2200 lbs

12:07 pm

moolingwa

what a US ton is I have no idea....5000 lbs?

12:07 pm

hokie carla

yeah, F those extra letters!

12:07 pm

hokie carla

I also have no idea

12:08 pm

moolingwa

or it's probably one of those weird numbers like 3842

12:08 pm

moolingwa

because yeah....logic of imperial measurements

12:08 pm

moolingwa

turns out it's 2000 lbs

12:09 pm

hokie carla

I used to know all the ones I needed to for cooking but now I just ask Alexa to double check so I don't need to know anymore

12:09 pm

moolingwa

I kinda know them, but growing up with metric, it's still a bit confusing

12:10 pm

moolingwa

like if I wanted to know how many feet in a mile, I'd actually figure how many feet are in 1.6km to figure out approximately what it was

12:11 pm

hokie carla

I've really been getting my NZ accent down with my Les Mills workouts. 😁

12:11 pm

moolingwa

choice

12:11 pm

moolingwa

still 21

12:11 pm

moolingwa

10-2-5-2-2

12:12 pm

hokie carla

yeah, I have to do conversions if I see something in metric so I know what it looks like, and I use my knowledge of running races to do the maths, like 5Ks, 10Ks, and 8Ks.

12:13 pm

moolingwa

heh

12:13 pm

moolingwa

found some words

12:13 pm

hokie carla

thought for a second maybe seaweed was there

12:14 pm

moolingwa

can't kelp yourself can you

12:14 pm

moolingwa

earnoise doesn't work...in case you wondered

12:14 pm

hokie carla

I'd love to continue the pun thread but kelp is probably the extent of my knowledge of seaweed

12:15 pm

moolingwa

yeah, I would have to branch into Japanese from there

12:15 pm

moolingwa

and nori isn't really seaweed, it's an algae

12:15 pm

moolingwa

and I don't think I can pun wakame

12:17 pm

moolingwa

firesit - to watch over someone else's campfire

I know you're not a tv watcher, moo, but anyone else here with Netflix, I highly recommend Cunk on Earth. hilarious.

12:18 pm

moolingwa

I do have Netflix, not that I get to watch it

12:19 pm

hokie carla

well, it's a british history mockumentary

12:19 pm

moolingwa

oh, sounds interesting

12:19 pm

hokie carla

you would like it, last episode I saw she was in Greece

12:19 pm

moolingwa

found a word!

12:20 pm

moolingwa

1.5 WPT

12:20 pm

moolingwa

found my last 7!

12:20 pm

MollyL

Seaweed is a kind of algae

12:21 pm

hokie carla

and she interviews actual professors and experts with ridiculous questions and somehow they answer with straight faces, albeit some confused looks. those interviews are almost too awkward for me, stuff like that doesn't usually make me uncomfortable but this does. 🤣

12:21 pm

hokie carla

oh, look who's nerding it up today

12:21 pm

moolingwa

oh, sounds like this reels person I just came across

12:21 pm

moolingwa

yep, it's her

12:21 pm

moolingwa

funny

12:21 pm

hokie carla

ok, I have 2 SH7. is my last 7 also SH or S something else?

12:22 pm

moolingwa

I saw a reel of her doing the Model T Ford

12:22 pm

moolingwa

the s7 is not sh

12:22 pm

hokie carla

yeah, I know she has done other stuff before this

12:23 pm

moolingwa

yeah, she did it like one of those car shows

12:23 pm

moolingwa

was pretty funny

12:23 pm

hokie carla

ok, what is the 2nd letter? P&TY

12:23 pm

moolingwa

st

12:24 pm

hokie carla

hmm, ok

12:24 pm

moolingwa

ooh, another word

12:24 pm

moolingwa

5's complete

12:24 pm

moolingwa

6-0-5-0-1

12:25 pm

hokie carla

is this ST7 a regular word?

12:25 pm

hokie carla

oh geez

12:25 pm

hokie carla

thought I had that

12:25 pm

hokie carla

ok, S6 left

12:26 pm

moolingwa

yeah, it happens

12:26 pm

moolingwa

11 to go

12:26 pm

hokie carla

see, you can still catch me

12:27 pm

moolingwa

probably not

12:27 pm

moolingwa

or more probably....definitely not :)

12:27 pm

moolingwa

10

12:27 pm

hokie carla

well, unless someone comes in and tells me what I need, I'm not seeing it

12:27 pm

moolingwa

quite possible I'm missing it too

12:27 pm

mael

top S or bottom S, hokie?

12:28 pm

moolingwa

4-0-5-0-1

And 3 are S

12:28 pm

mael

never mind, there is just one S

12:28 pm

hokie carla

I just see one S, is that my problem? 🤣

12:28 pm

mael

one who sh4/9s, maybe?

12:28 pm

moolingwa

so it's a trick....it's the top S....AND the bottom S

12:28 pm

moolingwa

so the correct response would either be yes...or neither

12:29 pm

hokie carla

anyhoo, it's not that one.

12:29 pm

mael

or the law enforcement with only one consonant, or the same word with a different first vowel?

12:29 pm

moolingwa

9

12:29 pm

hokie carla

I have 5 sh6

12:30 pm

moolingwa

I don't

12:30 pm

hokie carla

ah, it was omar, thx

12:30 pm

there are 5 total, you got those then

12:30 pm

mael

oh no, there's6!

12:30 pm

12:30 pm

so you are missing an SH, the dress?

12:30 pm

hokie carla

12:31 pm

hokie carla

thanks

12:32 pm

moolingwa

oh, now I understand your clue

12:33 pm

hokie carla

yeah, I don't even remember how his last name is spelled, but it makes me think of him

12:33 pm

moolingwa

that way I believe

12:34 pm

hokie carla

there's velveeta in the bee today

12:34 pm

moolingwa

still 8 to go

12:34 pm

hokie carla

you can do it

12:35 pm

moolingwa

not sure I have the energy to do it, to be honest

12:35 pm

hokie carla

what's the count left?

12:35 pm

hokie carla

you've finished the 7s

12:35 pm

moolingwa

3-0-4-0-1

12:36 pm

hokie carla

did it break you mentally when I beat you? 🤣

12:36 pm

moolingwa

yeah, I am devastated

12:36 pm

moolingwa

I haven't eaten or drank anything since you won

12:36 pm

moolingwa

have been unable to sleep in the last 6 minutes

12:36 pm

moolingwa

I'm a mess

12:36 pm

hokie carla

do you have 2 Fs left? or perhaps an H?

12:37 pm

hokie carla

sounds like it

12:37 pm

moolingwa

one F, on the right

12:37 pm

hokie carla

I hope you can recover and do all those things

12:37 pm

moolingwa

life is hopeless

12:38 pm

hokie carla

do you wish you could be a F8 like me?

12:38 pm

moolingwa

convinced yet?

12:38 pm

moolingwa

this takes a lot of energy

12:38 pm

moolingwa

I have that one :)

12:38 pm

hokie carla

12:39 pm

moolingwa

R SS

12:39 pm

hokie carla

ok, so you do have an H

12:39 pm

moolingwa

yes....I do

12:40 pm

hokie carla

I meant H left

12:40 pm

moolingwa

and now I don't

12:40 pm

moolingwa

well I have 1 H left

12:40 pm

moolingwa

but no 8s left

12:40 pm

hokie carla

aha

12:40 pm

hokie carla

thinking the F is maybe a 4

12:41 pm

moolingwa

f***

12:41 pm

hokie carla

the H might be a 4 too

12:41 pm

moolingwa

h***

12:41 pm

moolingwa

people are going to think that I'm cursing

12:42 pm

hokie carla

a shitton of people?

12:42 pm

moolingwa

found my a

12:42 pm

moolingwa

a crapload of them for sure

12:42 pm

hokie carla

the 4s aren't really hard today so you should be able to get those

12:43 pm

moolingwa

yeah, that's half the battle...literally in this case

12:43 pm

hokie carla

alright, winston is whining, so I'm going to walk him. good luck! will check in for an update later.

12:44 pm

moolingwa

okay, enjoy!

1:02 pm

cherlyq

so interesting morning this morning my daughter in law has ms and they thought it was under control as no seizures in about a year, she had one this morning driving my grandson to school, thankfully they are both ok

1:03 pm

susanj2

Oh, cherlyq! That's frightening! I'm glad they are safe.

1:03 pm

amelu0218

oh, crap! that's rather a rude awakening, so sorry to hear but glad they're ok.

1:04 pm

cherlyq

Yeah me too, she was frightened and shaken but they did a cat scan and said she is ok

1:04 pm

cherlyq

Connell just thinks he got a day off of school

1:09 pm

amelu0218

lol! a day off is not necessarily a bad thing. I'm sure she's a bit freaked, just when you think things are going on an even playing field someone yanks the rug on you... or, in Charlie Brown's case, Lucy pulls the football away.

1:11 pm

cherlyq

yeah she is going to go home and get some rest now she said ( well my son said as she is not driving right now lol)

I am stuck on the two fa7's, any help please?

5:47 pm

there is just one - some people do a big fa7 when others announce they've finished

5:48 pm

Freeman

OH only one fa7/52, I presume the 8 is a pl

5:48 pm

hokie carla

yes

5:48 pm

hokie carla

it's a compound word

5:49 pm

moolingwa

yes, what cooling devices eat

5:49 pm

hokie carla

I have on the wrong glasses and thought that said cooking and was very confused

5:50 pm

moolingwa

well this last word is being stubborn

5:50 pm

MollyL

Good clue Carla

5:51 pm

hokie carla

what have you got, moo?

5:51 pm

moolingwa

r6

5:51 pm

Freeman

I thought so to and all really good clues but I am still lost

5:51 pm

hokie carla

oh, my last R was a 6, so it's prob that

5:52 pm

moolingwa

bottom r

5:52 pm

hokie carla

actually yours is prob the one molly called the tom petty one

5:53 pm

hokie carla

actually that may have been my last one. I can't remember now and had a couple R6.

5:53 pm

moolingwa

really?

5:54 pm

hokie carla

interesting that R6 is a color. never have I ever heard of that.

5:55 pm

moolingwa

well that narrows it down, I'll do a search of colours you haven't heard of :)

5:56 pm

hokie carla

well, I know a lot. I had my share of Crayola 64 boxes with the crayon sharpener.

5:56 pm

moolingwa

I don't think it's Bastard-Amber

5:56 pm

moolingwa

apparently puke is a colour too

5:57 pm

moolingwa

falu and zaffre are colours as well apparently

5:58 pm

hokie carla

do you know any tom petty songs?

5:58 pm

hokie carla

just know that she's a good girl

5:58 pm

moolingwa

don't come around here no more

5:58 pm

moolingwa

she's crazy about elvis?

5:58 pm

hokie carla

not that one

5:58 pm

hokie carla

oh, that one

5:59 pm

moolingwa

then no

5:59 pm

hokie carla

but where does she live

5:59 pm

moolingwa

it's okay, I don't really mind

6:00 pm

Freeman

I am so sorry but I am still stuck on the fa7?

6:01 pm

moolingwa

well if we announce it, then it should be accompanied by a lot of fa7

6:02 pm

moolingwa

I'm actually having some fun looking up weird colour names

6:02 pm

moolingwa

for instance rare sausage

6:03 pm

hokie carla

okay, the good girl loves her mama and elvis and lives in a town in california

6:03 pm

moolingwa

probably pretty expensive then

6:04 pm

Freeman

Finally got it thanks all

6:04 pm

moolingwa

let the fa7 begin!

6:04 pm

hokie carla

yay!

6:05 pm

moolingwa

oh...found my last word

6:05 pm

hokie carla

was it a weird color?

6:05 pm

hokie carla

huzzah!

6:05 pm

moolingwa

no idea

6:05 pm

moolingwa

I kind of got distracted with the colors

6:05 pm

moolingwa

it does appear to be a colour

6:06 pm

moolingwa

Drunk-tank pink is another good one

6:07 pm

moolingwa

if you lean more towards the older ones, then Caput Mortuum - when means dead head

6:07 pm

moolingwa

ooh....Goose turd green

6:07 pm

hokie carla

canada goose?

6:08 pm

hokie carla

that sounds like it matches the definition

6:08 pm

moolingwa

well it was coined in the 1500s, so more likely a european goose

6:08 pm

moolingwa

Banan-appeal

6:08 pm

moolingwa

Elephant's breath

6:09 pm

hokie carla

hawaiian goose?

6:09 pm

hokie carla

the def link did make it sound british, which might explain why I've never heard of it

6:09 pm

moolingwa

apparently crayola had goose turn green crayons too

6:10 pm

hokie carla

with the r word?

6:10 pm

moolingwa

oh, well the r word sounds spanish

6:10 pm

moolingwa

to me at least

6:11 pm

moolingwa

says latin...

6:12 pm

hokie carla

well, that's what hurshy said this morning and I almost told you that, but I liked molly's tom petty clue and my unknown color. that was like your kind of vague, subtle clue. 🤣

6:12 pm

moolingwa

neither would have helped unfortunately

6:12 pm

moolingwa

As it turned out I just kind of stumbled on it

6:13 pm

hokie carla

I figured you would say you've lived there

6:13 pm

moolingwa

no, not familiar with any towns of that name I'm afraid

6:14 pm

MollyL

Carla, my laugh of the day was you throwing out the Tom Petty clue. Might as well have been cluing Nan.

6:14 pm

moolingwa

looks like it's in LA, which one of my least favorite places

6:15 pm

hokie carla

I only know it from the tom petty song 🤣

6:15 pm

moolingwa

have been within a few miles of it, it would seem

6:16 pm

hokie carla

well, I know moo grew up in a galaxy far, far away, but surely he's heard tom petty since living here. he did know the elvis part.

6:16 pm

moolingwa

I believe I once had that album

6:17 pm

moolingwa

freefalling is the song no?

6:17 pm

hokie carla

see? he's not completely pop culture clueless like nan.

6:17 pm

hokie carla

yes

6:18 pm

moolingwa

know some of the lyrics, but didn't know that was in there unfort

6:19 pm

moolingwa

well, I should go do something useful

6:19 pm

hokie carla

we have some south african neighbors and they had some friends or family in town and someone said the guy looked like James Taylor, and I sang too many songs trying to get them to figure out who he is. I guess my point is other countries don't know all our music. 😁

6:19 pm

moolingwa

yeah, James Taylor didn't travel as much outside North America in terms of songs

6:20 pm

hokie carla

yeah, I'm going to rip out a waistband and add elastic to it.

6:20 pm

moolingwa

think my dad had a Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers album tho

6:20 pm

hokie carla

I don't even like James Taylor but he's hard to escape in NC

6:20 pm

moolingwa

yeah, a bit blah

6:21 pm

moolingwa

well, enjoy your waistband...and thanks for the assistance

6:22 pm

hokie carla

no prob. good night, y'all.

6:57 pm

cybernan

6:58 pm

72 Temple Owl

idk

7:00 pm
