9:28 am

rururocks

there should be a colon on that sentence hookie

9:30 am

hokie carla

just had to type intestine: all the letters are there

a semi-colon is better. (ðŸ˜œ couldn't think of anything to pun)

9:30 am

MollyL

There should at least be an N, Ema

9:30 am

hokie carla

guess I could've said your puns are hard to stomach this morning

11:55 am

hurshy

11:55 am

penquis

probably...

11:57 am

penquis

found it....real word....

11:57 am

penquis

the D is part of a prefix...

11:58 am

penquis

it's an 8/9 combo...

11:58 am

penquis

phantom: intestine...

12:02 pm

hurshy

i just keep thinking of disinter

12:03 pm

12:45 pm

ah thanks bea

12:46 pm

hurshy

and that gets me 3 more R words too

1:03 pm

Bubbebobbi7

hider

1:17 pm

Gillie

interesting that it doesn't take the singular of te9

1:21 pm

hurshy

well it could be one of those things where the singular ends in something else

1:22 pm

MollyL

I think it is because the word is not a plural

1:22 pm

MollyL

Like walrus is not a plural

1:45 pm

periwinkle

help with the te9 please

2:16 pm

moolingwa

te - eating earth?

2:27 pm

JoyO

I must be having a really dull dayâ€¦still need help with the te9. TIA

2:31 pm

JoyO

Got it! Now your excellent clue makes sense!

3:03 pm

MrNate

Uh oh - ironsudoku now redirects to babble. noooOOOooo

3:20 pm

crayola

mrnate, I just clicked on the Ironsudoku box at the bottom of this page and was not redirected...

3:40 pm

MollyL

te9...te + to have an elegant supper again (no clue what eating Earth means)

3:42 pm

MrNate

Maybe it's a dns thing. Works in chrome. I emailed the Dr and we will figure this out

4:07 pm

periwinkle

ty for te9

4:22 pm

BzznBea

Namaste

4:49 pm

bichon

ty Molly

4:55 pm

Gillie

Just to be clear, the singular of the te9 is te8 (te9 less the 's') - verified by looking it up on Google - so te8 should be accepted by Enable

4:59 pm

Sugrraleona

en8??

4:59 pm

MollyL

ðŸ™„

5:00 pm

Gillie

en8 is a plural whose singular is not in the grid (unlike te8, which is)

5:00 pm

Sugrraleona

nevermind, found it

6:40 pm

cybernan

hello everyone

6:40 pm

penquis

hi nan...

6:50 pm

cybernan

did't get very far last night -- still have 100 left

6:50 pm

penquis

i listed....down to 3....

6:51 pm

cybernan

is there a te 8 or not?

6:52 pm

penquis

no...

6:52 pm

penquis

one 9 and three 7s....

6:52 pm

cybernan

ty - chat was a little confusing

6:52 pm

penquis

the 9 is a pl without a sing....

6:53 pm

penquis

yes...

6:54 pm

penquis

i am done....

6:54 pm

cybernan

speaking of confusing does anyone besides me think that in his last few photos Trump has that "lost" look common to people with dementia?

6:55 pm

penquis

i have been avoiding the news for the most part....i don't like looking at him....but he is constantly changing his mind....

6:56 pm

cybernan

Doesn't he have to have a psych evalutation at some point?

6:57 pm

penquis

no idea...

6:58 pm

cybernan

sad, seeing as how he has literally bypassed conress and taken control of the government with his emergency measures

6:59 pm

cybernan

or if not him, he is the mouthpiece for Vance and Musk

7:02 pm

penquis

yes, and the republicans are too scared of him to vote for anything that would be against his wishes....very sad....

7:04 pm

cybernan

someone has to take a stand before you lose your country. Can't congess take a vote of non-confidence which would result in another election if passed?

7:04 pm

penquis

this from the NYT...Republicans Quietly Cede Power to Cancel Trumpâ€™s Tariffs, Avoiding a Tough Vote
House G.O.P. leaders tucked the provision into a procedural measure needed to pass a government spending bill.

7:05 pm

penquis

the republicans control the congress...

7:06 pm

cybernan

If they don't do something, the US is doomed

7:07 pm

penquis

the outlook is not good...

7:07 pm

cybernan

and I am terrified the whole mess will expand to the entire world resulting in another world war -- I am certain that is what Putin wants

7:07 pm

penquis

decimating the dept of education now....there will be thousands of lawsuits, I am sure...

7:07 pm

cybernan

too bad the human race doesn't learn from prior mistakes

7:08 pm

cybernan

that is step one to destroying democracy -- dumb down the general population

7:10 pm

penquis

it will be interesting to see the public's reaction when all these things start to affect them, their families, their neighbors more directly....Musk is looking at Social Security now;...

7:11 pm

cybernan

it seems to me that unless congress is willing to act dothing can be done -- all the protests and riots won't solve anything.

7:12 pm

cybernan

The situation is exactly why Canadians want to keep our system of government.

7:12 pm

penquis

that's probably true, but perhaps there will be more negative feelings toward those republican congressmen....congressional elections in a few years...

7:13 pm

penquis

well now that I am depressed again, I am heading out;...need anything here before I go?

7:13 pm

cybernan

you are assuming you will have elections in a few years --- I'm not sure you will even have midterms

7:14 pm

cybernan

no - grats on the finish --- sorry - I can only imagine how frustrated you are.

7:16 pm

penquis

thanks....

7:16 pm

cybernan

7:19 pm

cybernan

7:55 pm

suefrad625

7:57 pm

Nef

7:58 pm

suefrad625

7:59 pm

Nef
