periwinkle

hello

7:48 am

MollyL

Got your chilly clothes on Peri?

7:48 am

periwinkle

yes indeed

7:49 am

periwinkle

but I have not turned on the heat yet

7:50 am

MollyL

I haven't either. It has to get downright cold for me to do that. I will rely on a sweater for as long as I can. I am not ready for all the dry air. I really need to get a humidifier for the cold weather.

7:50 am

periwinkle

I need to get one too

7:55 am

periwinkle

100 left bbl

7:58 am

hokie carla

54 here. wondering what I will wear to tennis.

8:09 am

MollyL

Decisions, decisions

8:09 am

MollyL

Should I be warm, stylish, or both?

8:11 am

hokie carla

definitely would rather be warm. the problem is how fast will it warm up and then I'm dressed too warm. layers for sure, but pants are hard to take off over shoes.

8:13 am

MollyL

That is why I like those slip on tennis shoes

8:13 am

hokie carla

I love my skechers slip ons or step ins or whatever they're called. but I can't play tennis in those.

8:14 am

hokie carla

wow, grayed the U. first time ever for me?

8:14 am

ChampFit

It's an omen. You're gonna kick butt at tennis today.

8:14 am

hokie carla

lol

8:15 am

MollyL

When I called them step ins once I was corrected and told that step ins are underwear

8:15 am

hokie carla

how's the C going, champ? I got stuck stuck at 27.

8:15 am

hokie carla

what? why would you call underwear step ins?

8:15 am

ChampFit

I got a whopping 32.

8:16 am

hokie carla

well, that's 5 more than me!

8:16 am

MollyL

Because there is an old time undergarment that used to be called a step in. It's like a skort that is a slip

8:16 am

hokie carla

wow, never heard of that.

8:17 am

ChampFit

Me either

8:17 am

hokie carla

girdle properties or just a slip?

8:18 am

ChampFit

Gah!!! I can't think about girdles. That's just depressing.

8:18 am

hokie carla

ooh, finished the upper H

8:19 am

hokie carla

when I was younger and spanx and the like came out, I told my mom I bought this special slip and she said, "you mean a girdle?"

8:20 am

ChampFit

I remember seeing my mom wear girdles. Thank goodness that wasn't a thing for us.

8:21 am

ChampFit

Also really happy that pantyhose aren't a thing anyore

8:21 am

hokie carla

yep

8:21 am

rururocks

What if men had to wear something to cover up their gonads

8:22 am

hokie carla

yesterday I was at the drug store looking at ankle braces and they had panty hose there. I was like, what?

8:22 am

hokie carla

my boys need to breathe! - kosmo kramer

8:22 am

ChampFit

I actually have to wear opaque black hose when my choir performs as part of concert attire. HATE WITH A PASSION.

8:23 am

ChampFit

And I keep forgetting to order thigh highs. I'm gonna do that now, while I'm thinking about it!

8:23 am

hokie carla

yuck

8:23 am

MollyL

I think Granny Clampett used to talk about her step ins and that is how I know the term

8:23 am

MollyL

Thank God for thigh highs

8:24 am

hokie carla

I used to watch that on reruns but probably didn't know what she was talking about.

8:24 am

MollyL

My legs don't get tan enough to go without hose. And I actually think women in heels look better with hose than without

8:26 am

ChampFit

There are tanning sprays that work really well for that. Super fast.

8:26 am

MollyL

Step ins were not girdles. They were like a combination short slip and shorts

8:26 am

MollyL

Tap pants maybe?

8:26 am

MollyL

Tanning sprays either streak on me or turn me orange

8:27 am

rururocks

oh like someone we know

8:27 am

hokie carla

I always had good results at like Palm Beach Tan in the spray booth

8:30 am

hokie carla

just typed tenrec just in case

8:31 am

hokie carla

it's not here

8:31 am

9:02 am

hurshy

good morning all

9:03 am

rururocks

hi hursh.. another huge grid today

9:03 am

rururocks

dr g is trying to wear us out

9:03 am

9:05 am

9:05 am

hurshy

i see what you mean about the C

9:05 am

hurshy

you were back yesterday or the day before, right origami?

9:06 am

rururocks

I think my nagging skills are going to hell with you these days :D

9:06 am

origami

I was back day before yesterday for a while.

9:06 am

rururocks

oh I missed your grand entry

9:06 am

rururocks

damn

9:07 am

origami

Ru, you can nag!

9:07 am

rururocks

how are your treasury bonds doing ?
:D

9:08 am

origami

Hush :D

9:08 am

rururocks

come to think of it I do tend to nag you about a lot of things

9:09 am

origami

How I managed to make it to almost 70 without all your nagging is a mystery :D

9:10 am

rururocks

I was wondering the same thing

9:10 am

MollyL

These two are like Fred and Ethel

9:10 am

rururocks

we're good buds

9:11 am

MollyL

Because only a good bud would gift those hideous Crocs

9:11 am

rururocks

oh I have better ones she just won't accept them yet

9:12 am

rururocks

I got her the KFC crocs and she refuses to wear them

9:12 am

origami

Those are nauseating

9:12 am

rururocks

sp they wait patiently in one of my closets

9:13 am

MollyL

I can think of SO many things that money would be better spent on. Like...well...anything

9:13 am

rururocks

ah...I'll do anything for a laugh

9:14 am

rururocks

if you could have seen her shopping in Kelowna you would have said that was money well spent

9:14 am

MollyL

Okay, I think it would be hysterical if you would buy me a house at a lake. Downright hilarious. : D

9:19 am

10:21 am

hurshy

10:23 am

rbud

10:26 am

12:35 pm

penquis

12:35 pm

cybernan

is the ne 7 something close by?

12:36 pm

hokie carla

12:36 pm

hokie carla

12:36 pm

penquis

12:36 pm

cybernan

12:36 pm

cybernan

12:37 pm

hokie carla

12:37 pm

penquis

12:37 pm

hokie carla

66 left here

12:41 pm

penquis

got a little burst of luck....down to 85...

12:41 pm

hokie carla

I only found a set of 3, so 63.

12:42 pm

hokie carla

have been stuck on 13 c's left since last night

12:42 pm

cybernan

got all the early calls except the sa 7 (found the sa 8)

12:42 pm

penquis

i have 10 Cs left....my burst involved Cs....

12:43 pm

hokie carla

I have a pl sa7 that is fabric

12:43 pm

cybernan

ty carla

12:43 pm

BzznBea

Another monster. Oyvey.

12:43 pm

penquis

hi Bea...

12:44 pm

hokie carla

bea!

12:44 pm

cybernan

is the xe 7 related to the 5?

12:44 pm

hokie carla

haven't found it yet

12:44 pm

penquis

don't have one X yet...

12:44 pm

hokie carla

when I asked for stats ruru gave me the 7 then the 5 so I don't know if that means anything or not.

12:46 pm

penquis

found the 5...can't see how the 7 would be related to that one....

12:47 pm

hokie carla

I had the same reaction

12:49 pm

hokie carla

finally found 2 c's

12:50 pm

BzznBea

The 7 end with McD symbol

12:50 pm

penquis

ty, Bea...what an odd word...

12:51 pm

cybernan

ty ea

12:51 pm

cybernan

*bea - darn sticky keys

12:51 pm

BzznBea

yw

12:51 pm

hokie carla

yeah, never would've come up with that

12:53 pm

cybernan

shouldn't have looked at the chog -- disheartening to see so many words that I doubt I will ever find.

12:54 pm

cybernan

cu 7 x2, Sa 9 and another sa 8, fi 7

12:54 pm

hokie carla

yeah, I don't bother following it or looking if I play at the flip. I know I will just waste time

12:55 pm

cybernan

I don't bother at the flip unless I see something to call

12:55 pm

penquis

the two cu 7 words i have are plurals....

12:55 pm

penquis

they are almost identical....

12:56 pm

hokie carla

hmm, the one I have is art/museum related. can't see a similar one.

12:56 pm

cybernan

have one - to do with museums

12:56 pm

penquis

the other is poison?

12:56 pm

penquis

similar in spelling not meaning...

12:56 pm

hokie carla

so not one we've heard of?

12:57 pm

penquis

yes...dip those arrows in it... ;o)

1:02 pm

hokie carla

finally googled it and got it, thanks

1:02 pm

cybernan

have looked at 3 lists of poisons - nothing beginning with cu

1:02 pm

hokie carla

ends in not common

1:03 pm

cybernan

mmm - not odd or weird

1:03 pm

penquis

it comes from a plant...more of a paralyzer than a killer, ti think....

1:04 pm

cybernan

no idea

1:04 pm

hokie carla

what a horse does on its hind legs

1:04 pm

penquis

change the fifth letter of the museum word...

1:05 pm

cybernan

it is a cu - the poison?

1:05 pm

penquis

yes, a toxin....

1:05 pm

penquis

a pl...

1:06 pm

hokie carla

yes cu + a **** coin collection,etc

1:06 pm

penquis

oh.,,,nice clue...

1:07 pm

cybernan

absolutely blind on this one -- there are differnt kinds of coin collections?

1:08 pm

penquis

the word refers to those that are least common....worth more....

1:09 pm

penquis

i mean the word **** in carla's clue...

1:16 pm

cybernan

ty - whew - a new one for me

1:16 pm

penquis

i remembered it from old movies....

1:16 pm

cybernan

do you have the sa 9?

1:17 pm

penquis

no...

1:18 pm

cybernan

don't know how I missed the fi 7

1:19 pm

penquis

ty...i had missed the pl...

1:20 pm

cybernan

think we were going in the other direction for the singular

1:20 pm

penquis

i know i was...

1:21 pm

cybernan

I wonder if the sa 9 is a plural of an 8 -- only have the 8 that is already a plural

1:21 pm

Gillie

the sa9 is a plural - it's a fabric, I think

1:22 pm

cybernan

the sa 7 is a fabric plural

1:22 pm

Gillie

(of an sa8, that is)

1:23 pm

Gillie

the sa8 is another fabric

1:25 pm

penquis

must be an obscure fabric...

1:25 pm

cybernan

I think the sa 6 is iffy -- should be spelled with an i for an sa 5, although I know the sa 6 is commonly used in the states

1:26 pm

Gillie

it's an old-fashioned fabric - a kind of silk

1:26 pm

cybernan

the sa 8? or the 6?

1:27 pm

Gillie

the sa8/9 pair

1:28 pm

Gillie

sa6 is actually a somewhat different fabric from sa5

1:31 pm

penquis

used Best Word List...don't remember seeing that before...

1:35 pm

cybernan

only old fashioned silky/satin fabric I can think of is charmeuse (sp?)

1:36 pm

penquis

do you have sa 6/18?

1:36 pm

penquis

comes before the other fabric...

1:37 pm

cybernan

yes

1:38 pm

penquis

than just add two letters to the end ...so the end sounds like what fisherman use to get fish....

1:38 pm

cybernan

maybe I'll find it when I list

1:43 pm

cybernan

went to best word list- and yes I have seen the word before -- thanks for bearing with me

1:43 pm

penquis

anytime...

1:44 pm

cybernan

just think - only 6 more 7's to go!

1:44 pm

penquis

me, too....and one 8...

1:45 pm

cybernan

have all the 8's - do you know which one you are missing?

1:45 pm

penquis

hold on...

1:47 pm

penquis

i have ch , en x 2, ne, sa, se, sh...

1:49 pm

cybernan

sa x 2: if you have the fabric you are missing the one regarding keeping children secure. it is a pluralized adjecttve. Think caps on pill bottles, or locks on car doors

1:49 pm

penquis

ha..ty...i would have used a football clue... ;o)

1:49 pm

cybernan

don't watch football

1:50 pm

penquis

i know...

1:51 pm
