hi molly

6:38 am

aslindy

I don't recall ever seeing a word starting with tm

6:52 am

MollyL

It's a derivation of Latin and/or Greek. And it's about words. So all the word nerds here probably use it at cocktail parties. 😊

7:12 am

hokie carla

what were you working off the chat, nan's post is the first one and is still on.

7:18 am

hokie carla

well, first tile grayed on first try. that's either a good sign or has nothing to do with anything.

origami

I'm boarding my dog and having a person come in daily for my cat.

8:57 am

origami

Ru has a sitter that stays at his house.

8:58 am

MollyL

I know nothing about animals. Why not the daily person for dog and cat?

8:59 am

origami

My dog can't be along for long periods. My cat sitter only comes in for a half hour once a day.

10:31 am

periwinkle

BzznBea

ap8.50

10:49 am

Aloyisius

that is one of two words I'm missing..

10:50 am

MollyL

Did I miss the clue for the 9, or was that just telepathy from "got the 9"?

10:51 am

Aloyisius

ooh, monkeyed the ap8, yay

10:51 am

BzznBea

telepathic vibes, molly

10:51 am

MollyL

I have the 9, the chat just confused me

10:53 am

MollyL

So if Hurshy says "I'm done" will you see all the rest of your words? Wild

10:55 am

hurshy

well, it SORT of implied what the first two letters were, since i found it between doing the NTPN and giving the dings for it

10:56 am

BzznBea

yes. I knew it likely started ra. worked from there

10:56 am

Aloyisius

fw: had to look up me7, a word that means "partial blindness".. but I was completely blind to it, lol. Off to do some laundry on this rainy day. Happy Babbling all!

10:57 am

hurshy

hmm, guess i need that one

10:57 am

hurshy

11:03 am

hokie carla

11:13 am

dcseain

11:13 am

12:31 pm

hokie carla

haven't really looked and it didn't pop out at me. what's it start with?

12:31 pm

BzznBea

ra 8 and 9

12:32 pm

hokie carla

hmm

12:34 pm

MollyL

Oh, I just sense a clue coming

12:36 pm

hokie carla

is it something I'm supposed to know?

12:36 pm

BzznBea

yes.

12:37 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

it's an ordinary word, something found in most houses

12:37 pm

dizgrannie

hokie, it keeps me warm

12:37 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

four syllables

12:37 pm

MollyL

See, there's the clue

12:38 pm

hokie carla

3 clues and yet I still don't know 🤣. don't worry, I will think on these while I look for other words, thanks.

12:39 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

imagine boiling water running through your house -- where does the water go?

12:39 pm

hokie carla

saw it just before that

12:40 pm

hokie carla

not sure I've ever lived in a house with that, though. maybe most old houses.

12:40 pm

BzznBea

we pulled them all out when we moved in to our house.

12:41 pm

hokie carla

my grandmother had a modern electric heater that looked just like one.

12:42 pm

hokie carla

9-6-4-3
I have even tried looking for 4s. crazy.

12:45 pm

MollyL

Not any in most houses lately

12:46 pm

hokie carla

maybe they still have a lot up in MI where Gwen is

12:47 pm

MollyL

Could be but they are not a part of the central HVAC that most modern houses have.

12:49 pm

hokie carla

found 3 t4's to gray 2 tiles

12:50 pm

dizgrannie

FWs, last word was sm 5...how dumb am I LOL

12:51 pm

hokie carla

well done. and 🤣

12:54 pm

hokie carla

12:56 pm

mkg

Hi all. Yes peri, i think so.

12:56 pm

mkg

Wow any clues welcome for the 9. I dont have stat either.

12:57 pm

hokie carla

yes, we were literally just talking about it

12:59 pm

mkg

Got the 9. Ty. Clues below were great.

1:00 pm

mkg

Any clues for first column i word? Thanks

1:00 pm

BzznBea

is4

1:02 pm

mkg

Ty. Got it.

1:07 pm

MollyL

Chat is so confusing. Peri hasn't been here for hours.

1:09 pm

BzznBea

not necessarily the chat that is confused.

1:10 pm

MollyL

Possibly

1:10 pm

hokie carla

I know mine usually refreshes when I come back, but there is the occasional instance where it doesn't. prob what happened to mkg.

1:10 pm

72 Temple Owl

ra8/9: surprised that it is so unkown

1:11 pm

hokie carla

not unknown by me, I was looking in the wrong direction

1:11 pm

MollyL

I know of them. They just aren't in most houses.

1:12 pm

72 Temple Owl

ah. mostly replaced by baseboard units now. i remember dad having special paint to paint them.

1:12 pm

BzznBea

I think they are more common in the northeastern states. they don't need ac.

1:12 pm

72 Temple Owl

perhaps the same silver paint used to paint the fence. can you imagine that level of home maintenance now?

1:13 pm

BzznBea

yes, i can. old house here.

1:13 pm

72 Temple Owl

we lived in units constructed in 20's to 40's growing up. had the large ones. some were covered

1:15 pm

hokie carla

well, I gotta mow before it rains again. BBL

1:15 pm

72 Temple Owl

good luck with that. i know we need it desparately, but perhaps some sun in between...

1:56 pm

dcseain

the house I grew up in had baseboard ra8, so did most of the houses in my neighborhood.

1:57 pm

MollyL

Yep, they were common many years ago. Not common these days.

1:59 pm

dcseain

wet heat FTW

2:00 pm

BzznBea

no need for a humidifier with rads

2:00 pm

dcseain

exactly!

2:02 pm

MollyL

FTW= for the win

2:11 pm

BzznBea

two ds left...

2:12 pm

BzznBea

see you tomorrow.

2:57 pm

nrkii

My house was built in 1880... ra9 in every room. The old kind that take up space. I love them.

2:57 pm

nrkii

Mine are water, not steam.

3:23 pm

MollyL

Doesn't the water + heat make steam?

3:25 pm

nrkii

not necessarily... some ra9 are filled with steam, some with very hot water that is not hot enough to be steam... when I have to bleed mine to get rid of excess air, when the air is done, actual water follows it, not steam....

3:27 pm

nrkii

Steam ra9 use a steam boiler to heat air and circulate it through metal fins or pipes, while hot water ra9 transfer heat by circulating heated water through metal fins or pipes

3:27 pm

hokie carla

rehi - can I find these last 15?

3:27 pm

nrkii

steam ra9 = better moisture in air
hot water ra9 = quieter and more energy efficient

3:27 pm

looks like I don't have either. will look, thanks.

3:31 pm

hokie carla

found one!

3:32 pm

hokie carla

and the other!

3:32 pm

hokie carla

I think your upper S might be a 7 that we assume to be proper

3:33 pm

nrkii

cool... want to help me find my missing T from the third row?

3:33 pm

nrkii

3:39 pm

3:40 pm

3:41 pm

hokie carla

3:42 pm

3:44 pm

nrkii

3:44 pm

nrkii

the 4 sounds like a past tense word but is not spelled like one

3:45 pm

Kaplan the Magne

ethnic slur alert

3:45 pm

hokie carla

yeah, I have those already

3:45 pm

nrkii

hmmm

3:45 pm

hokie carla

hmm, either one I don't know (as usual) or a word I haven't found, kap

3:47 pm

nrkii

pa x 2, pi x 2, ps x 1, rest are po

3:47 pm

hokie carla

was just about to ask about ps

3:48 pm

nrkii

found my missing o words... they are OE

3:48 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I just started late. I am sorting through photographs for a book I am writing. Will anyone want to keep my parents' birth certificates, my grandparents wedding invitation, all these documents?

3:49 pm

hokie carla

of course they are. I've decided to go the list.

3:50 pm

Kaplan the Magne

It depresses me to think that all this stuff will be gone. I am getting NYU to include my dad's store in their archive. At first I just wanted a plaque where the store was. My family thought I was crazy but I persisted. Turns out, they want an archive of neighborhood history and my dad was also an alum. Never finished a Ph.D.

3:52 pm

hokie carla

was going through some of my parents' stuff like that recently, so I understand.

3:52 pm

Kaplan the Magne

My other grandfather was well known in socialist theater at the turn of the 20th century. I bought two archives on eBay(!). Stuff I never knew existed. He was concert master at Carnegie Hall. He died young. Things went south for him. He died in 1937, and two random people on eBay had his theater clippings and and a book he write.

3:53 pm

hokie carla

nellie, do you have the me7?

3:53 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I go through this every now and then. I assumed the next generation would be interested, but I can't assume anything.

3:54 pm

nrkii

me7 hint?

3:54 pm

hokie carla

I would love one. are you asking for one?

3:54 pm

hokie carla

and i just looked up the oe's. I hate those kind.

3:55 pm

Kaplan the Magne

My grandfather in a sweatshop in the Lower East Side. Boxes of negatives, because he and my dad were photographers.

3:55 pm

nrkii

I don't have me7 yet

3:55 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Sorry, let me play the game.

3:55 pm

nrkii

oh man, my last t7 was obvious

3:56 pm

nrkii

just looking for me7 to finish

3:56 pm

hokie carla

it's 7/36

3:56 pm

MollyL

I think passing down family history is good. It might matter to someone.

3:56 pm

nrkii

yeah, I went to the list right after you did

3:57 pm

Kaplan the Magne

NYU wants my dad's stuff and he wasn't a famous person at all. My grandfather- someone is writing a book about progressive theater and contacted me.

3:58 pm

Kaplan the Magne

But we boomers are the first of the constantly photographed kids, and there is too much. Once there would be one portrait done in a lifetime. How many cute baby pictures are worth it?

3:58 pm

MollyL

It's interesting to know about the people we came from.

3:58 pm

penquis

ooh...monkeyed that me 7....new one for me...

3:59 pm

penquis

i agree....was showing my great nephew and his girlfriend old family photos today....

3:59 pm

Kaplan the Magne

My dad photographed the Persian Gulf in WWII and those pictures are at the Harvard museums. I donated them posthumously. He would have been surprised and pleased.

3:59 pm

nrkii

ooh, help?

4:00 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I'm obsessed with family archives.

4:00 pm

penquis

ends with most of the ending of the perfect place ut****

4:01 pm

anyone need a clue before I go stretch my back? I'm sitting in a chair, against orders... :)

4:01 pm

penquis

too many here, but thanks...

4:01 pm

hokie carla

I'm done now!

4:02 pm

penquis

congrats...

4:02 pm

nrkii

yay!

4:02 pm

nrkii

okay... Off to do my wretched stretches

4:02 pm

hokie carla

thanks pen for the last one

4:02 pm

hokie carla

good luck with your stretching

4:03 pm

penquis

yw...

4:03 pm

hokie carla

oh, the m7 is a vision thing.

4:05 pm

MollyL

Yeah, it was clued as a vision thing earlier.

4:07 pm

hokie carla

hope my presbyopia doesn't turn into m7

4:07 pm

hokie carla

feels like it might

4:09 pm
