I would also like to know in what language that word is supposed to exist

1:43 pm

boatierra

Middle English, Anglo-French

1:44 pm

boatierra

Ya know, those two everyday languages.

1:44 pm

Erda

take your pick...

1:44 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

it's an old spelling of an old word meaning a sir or a lord

1:45 pm

Erda

In which language???

1:45 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

it's old english, (or middle english, i guess)

1:46 pm

Erda

mmm-hhmmm

1:46 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

in the middle ages the english borrowed a lot of french words. they were allies with france and chared kings with france, sort of

1:47 pm

Erda

That may very well be so, but including that word in today's puzzle makes one scratch one's head.

1:47 pm

Jellen

Not to be vulgar, but there a few male organs (from the gr 5/14 area) in the grid.

1:48 pm

Erda

It was duly nopticed, Jellen

2:04 pm

Scrabbler

Yikes, Crossy. I have had 4 episodes of sciatica in my life. Nerve pain is brutal!

2:05 pm

TraderKate

2:05 pm

crosshair

the pulling up the back of the leg and around the buttocks and the feet going numb and the random nerve pain is crazy

2:05 pm

Scrabbler

I have to get my Yakima kayak rack attached to the siderails. Next week I go to the Adirondack Mtns.

2:07 pm

crosshair

my new jeep will only get 20...sniff:((

2:08 pm

Scrabbler

I just got a 2013 Crosstrek--smaller than a Forester. My 2005 Forester averaged 25 mpg. Highway fuel efficiency of 33 mpg convinced me to get the Crosstrek rather than a gently used Forester.

2:08 pm

crosshair

hoping for delivery first week august;)))))

2:08 pm

Scrabbler

Special order--certain features?

2:09 pm

crosshair

no,just they are tooling up for 2014,s and what is out there is all there is,and since they always sell out it is a mad scramble to get what you want

2:09 pm

Scrabbler

So you are getting a 2013?

2:10 pm

crosshair

yup.the 2013 has a 3500 dollar rebate and the base sticker price is 7 k less,that is why i put my order in a month before the money

2:11 pm

Scrabbler

Today's best experience in the office. 4 siblings, now in their 3rd foster home in the last year will be adopted by this family! I hugged the woman and teared up. I have seen the kids for the last 3-4 yrs.

2:11 pm

Scrabbler

Good plan, Crossy.

2:11 pm

crosshair

if i had waited another 2 months i would of had to order a 2014..at 10k more

2:12 pm

crosshair

the 2012 was a total sell out and the 2013 will be in short order:))

2:12 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

great news about the adoption, scrabs!

2:12 pm

Scrabbler

Crosstreks are in short supply too--very popular since debuting in 2012.

2:13 pm

crosshair

they are indeed scrabby and yaaa on that adoption!!

2:13 pm

TraderKate

super scrabs! four kids is a lot to take on! bless her!

2:13 pm

crosshair

it is nice when they can keep the kids together

2:14 pm

Scrabbler

Gwen, I want to adopt so many kids, place them in my fantasy orphanage, and give them love, cleanliness, clothes, food and proper discipline. When I see neglected or abused kids get adopted I am just SO happy. Siblings are always kept together.

2:14 pm

Scrabbler

Yes, she has no kids of her own but is taking these 4 and I am humbled.

2:15 pm

crosshair

that was not always the case,scrabby

2:15 pm

Scrabbler

Yes, I know, but it is the rule here at least.

2:15 pm

crosshair

i have known several families where the sibling were split amongst foster homes

2:16 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

probably different laws or rules in different locations, regarding splitting up siblings

2:16 pm

crosshair

good thing the rules have changed:)

2:16 pm

must be nice to be lofty enough to not only decide which adults in love may or may not marry but also base this on one of only 2400 religions practiced on this planet

2:30 pm

crosshair

slightly over 2400 active religions actually

2:31 pm

Scrabbler

There is a chipmunk 3 feet away from my feet, eating a piece of bread I tossed out.

2:31 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i love it (in a sarcastic way) when the anti-equality crowd says marriage has always been between one man and one women. they know squat about history

2:31 pm

TraderKate

loves chippies!

2:31 pm

crosshair

cool.will give him the trotts though,a bit of fruit or some seeds are better;))

2:32 pm

Scrabbler

There are tons of sunflower seeds beneath all of the birdfeeders.

2:32 pm

crosshair

2:32 pm

Scrabbler

I had 6 chippies out here at the same time the other day. I adore them.

2:32 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

2:33 pm

crosshair

what is neat is when you get them coming up into your hand for seed

2:33 pm

Scrabbler

Clue, please?

2:33 pm

penquis

when you look at the world from the reverse side of a telescope, you see only a fraction of what there is to see....it's unfortunate

2:33 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

chipmunks are cute!!!!

2:33 pm

TraderKate

and much easier to tame than squizzlers.... braver!

2:34 pm

crosshair

lol@ squizzlers

2:34 pm

Scrabbler

They are so sweet to watch. They make me smile. I was near tears last week when a cat caught a chippie and ran off with it in its mouth. :-(

2:34 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

2:35 pm

crosshair

2:36 pm

Scrabbler

We have red and grey squirrels here and the red ones are adorable--much smaller than grey ones.

2:37 pm

TraderKate

mine were good too, but in old streetsville, i had to teach them that chippies were not big mice (which they always caught, but never killed) i was afraid chippies might be scared to death...

2:38 pm

crosshair

ours are indoor cats.i do not wish to scrape them off the road or have them assaulting wildlife on other peoples properties

2:38 pm

TraderKate

scrabs - do you have any flying sqizzlers there?
we have some in ridgeway here - they only live in some very small pockets i understand

2:38 pm

Scrabbler

Well, I found 150 and that is enough.

2:38 pm

Scrabbler

Not 150 flying squirrels, hahah

2:39 pm

if you wnat to know what a weird word means, kar, hit the ? before the word and sometimes the dictionary will tell you.

I don't now how to nickname Aly for the pronunciation of the name is Al-o-WISH-us.

rururocks

I call her Aloy... like ALLOY

11:38 pm

RoundBarn

but no matter, it's bedtime. I don't get 292 wors, Kar, I got 94. Good searching and goodnight. The flip brings a new grid and this one is history, except someone said you can find it the next day for the words you mised. I'm fairly new here, don't know all the tricks.

11:49 pm

rururocks
