I have two tiles greyed out, but still not found a 9...
6:28 am
sukee
I haven't found anything larger than a 7
6:31 am
Uneaixoise
sukee, guess what! At 9:00 last nite I got great orchestra seats for Neil deGrasse Tyson -- took them all day to fix their ticketing website crash! :-)
6:31 am
sukee
Looking back in the chog, there is an IS 9
6:31 am
sukee
That is great, I was going to ask if you were online so I could ask.
6:31 am
MollyL
Une the Fan Girl strikes again
6:31 am
mattygroves
I have an is6, but not a 9...
6:32 am
MollyL
You are headed in the right direction Matty
6:32 am
sukee
It's more than being a fan girl, I am sure it will be very educational :)
6:33 am
Uneaixoise
the phone line person who was supposed to call folks to let them know if/when tix could finally be purchased never called back
6:33 am
MollyL
Yes but Une is an excellent fan girl. Ask Nadal.
: D
6:33 am
Uneaixoise
ah, my poor Nadal -- not having a good season :-(
6:34 am
mattygroves
Yay - got the IS9 (and I'm jealous about Tyson)
6:35 am
Uneaixoise
tried off and on all day -- couldn't believe last nite when I could finally get into the site -- and got 4 center orchestra seats! soooo excited! :-)
6:36 am
sukee
Well, I'm glad you got tickets and I want to hear all about it in November :)
6:36 am
MollyL
Matty plural the 9 for a 10
6:36 am

6:37 am

I thought it was kind of arrogant of him to think he was above Australia's quarantine restrictions.
6:45 am
mattygroves
Should I know the AM7/8?
6:45 am
MollyL
Not really, they are not common words
6:46 am
sukee
It was wrong, but an Australian minister was a real jerk about it.
6:46 am
mattygroves
Aah - can I have a steer please?
6:46 am
MollyL
Ends in a building location
6:46 am
Uneaixoise
Molly's right
6:47 am
mattygroves
Thank you!
6:47 am
sukee
Yes, ty Molly for that clue.
6:48 am
Uneaixoise
meant she's right about Depp's dogs
6:49 am
sukee
Yep. It was wrong and I'm glad the dogs did not have to suffer because of it.... other than 12 hour airplane flights.
6:52 am
Uneaixoise
assume they're returning in a private Gulfstream jet like their original accommodations . . . wow

7:01 am
josephjames

7:08 am
MollyL
No it's not
7:09 am
mattygroves
Would you mind clueing? I'm coming up with nothing
7:12 am

I think it's the plural of medication that keep you from retaining fluid
7:20 am
periwinkle
help with the is9/10 pls. found the mo8 by myself.
7:21 am
bichon
the is 9 & 10 come from the is 6/21
7:21 am
MollyL
is + vowel + first three of greeting word before Christmas + religion suffix
7:22 am
bichon
I guess twerk hasn't made it to Enable yet
7:23 am
MollyL
I was wrong. The di8 is "increased pee output"
7:23 am
MollyL
Words like that will never make it to Enable. It hasn't been updated since the year 2000.
7:24 am
periwinkle
working on that di8 and not seeing the is8/9 but I do have the is6/21
7:24 am
bichon
increased pee output is polyuria
7:24 am
MollyL
Then add the religious suffix
7:25 am
MollyL
Well the definition given here for di8 is increased pee output
7:25 am
periwinkle
not sure what the reliqious suffix is. I am tired.
7:26 am
MollyL
Comes after Juda
7:26 am
bichon
peri Commun***
7:26 am
MollyL
And Catholic
7:26 am
bichon
Method***, Catholoc***
7:26 am
periwinkle
is there more than one is6?
7:27 am
periwinkle
ok, that is one ending I did not try, ty
7:27 am
bichon
Theres is** 4/5
7:27 am
mattygroves
Does the di also end in the religious suffix?
7:29 am
MollyL
No it ends in a plural
7:29 am
mattygroves
No, no it doesn't
7:29 am
periwinkle
I know how to spelled increased urine output and it does not exist in this puzzle.
7:29 am
bichon
no, different ending. You may take a di****** to get you to pee alot
7:29 am
mattygroves
Change the last vowel Peri
7:30 am
Uneaixoise
tx for the di clue!
7:30 am
MollyL
Never count on Enable to spell anything the normal way
7:30 am
Uneaixoise
so true LOL
7:30 am
periwinkle
I just ty all
7:30 am
mattygroves
I hate going to the list and discovering I missed a whole load of plurals
7:32 am
Scrabbler
The di9 is plural for episodes of increased urine output.
7:32 am
Scrabbler
I mean di8
7:33 am
MollyL
*Hands out Depends for everyone
7:33 am
bichon
Ah, the doc is here, now we get the whole picture
7:33 am
Uneaixoise
molly hee hee :-)
7:34 am
MollyL
The definition here says "increased pee discharge" and I used pee to try not to give part of the word away
7:35 am
Scrabbler
I didn't want you to think the ENABLE editors were total fools.
7:36 am
MollyL
Medical terminology is complex. The poly word that Bichon mentioned is also correct.
7:36 am

7:38 am
MollyL
I was going to say "like he who abides" but not everyone has seen The Big Lebowski
: D
7:39 am
Uneaixoise
that would have been a GREAT clue LOL
7:40 am
MollyL
Well Une, it seems like anytime I clue with a movie reference, inevitably someone says "I haven't seen that movie"
7:40 am
MollyL
Although I think everyone SHOULD see The Big Lebowski
: D
7:41 am
bichon
That's what Mr. Bich says.
7:42 am
bichon
Hope it's on Netflix
7:42 am
MollyL
It is said that Coen Brothers movies are like Scotch. You either like them or you don't. I'm in the minority because I only like some of them. But then I only like some Scotch too.
7:43 am
bichon
I've seen some, and like the ones I've seen
7:44 am

Une is in Tennessee. Georgia peaches are ready in May
8:05 am
bichon
ok, we don't get peaches here til August
8:06 am
MollyL
There is nothing like a fresh, sun-ripened peach. Those little stones in the produce section can't measure up.

Uneaixoise
when i was a kid, there was a guy who would drive around neighborhoods in his pickup truck loaded with local strawberries -- my mom would buy LOTS and make yummy preserves :-)
8:39 am
MollyL
Our local strawberries are wonderful. Unfortunately they are expensive and short lived
8:40 am

Hints from Heloise time. The easiest way to core a strawberry is with a plastic straw, right up the middle.
8:43 am
Uneaixoise
when my mom was so sick, we could always entice her to eat in strawberry season -- strawberries crushed with sugar . . . and Coke floats :-)
8:44 am
Uneaixoise
one of her caregivers started making her Coke floats-- I think it took her back to her childhood :-)
8:44 am
MollyL
I thought they were Co-Cola floats down your way

10:20 am
rururocks
new York is very clean compared to SF

Manhattan maybe. Other parts, not so much.
10:21 am

10:25 am

10:33 am
MollyL
Oh, that should be interesting.
10:33 am
rururocks
I like to pick my spots personally
10:34 am
rururocks
this is kind of a fun grid
10:35 am
MollyL

10:41 am
rururocks
I missed a lot of easy words last night
10:42 am

I'm glad The Patriots missed their first and fourth round draft picks. And that they were fined.
10:43 am
MollyL
Lost not missed
10:43 am
rururocks
me too. .. I think maybe brady should have gotten more games off too
10:44 am
MollyL
I do too, but I think Brady is coming to the end of his road either way.
10:45 am
rururocks
it's too bad his legacy is tainted with cheating twice
10:45 am
MollyL
Yep, that is what most people are going to remember.
10:46 am

Mine may look like jelly, but more to the point they feel like Jelly. Mind you, Jeff's taken his strides off, so I can see his legs. Or I could if I hadn't batted my eyelids and convinced him to make tea

11:33 am

I forget.. did he blow it on drugs or just had severe mental issues?

72 Temple Owl
sorry, instagram not cooperating to allow me to extract the photo
11:35 am
rururocks
ah.. that's too bad.. I wasn't much of a beach boy fan.. but he was a great writer
11:35 am

I've just eaten some extremely old steak umm with freezer burn that I cooked up. If it makes me sick, I will be able to let you know not to do that.
11:38 am
72 Temple Owl
so he is still a good writer.
11:38 am
MollyL
Um, I think I already know not to do that JJ, but thanks anyway.
11:38 am
rururocks
not a good idea JJ
11:39 am
72 Temple Owl
i do not know about making one sick but how on earth did you manage to stomach it?
11:39 am
rururocks
good question TO
11:40 am
MollyL
Tip: Keep a list of what is in your freezer so it doesn't get old and freezer burned.
11:40 am
josephjames
It didn't really taste different - just the part with the freezerburn had a bit of a weird texture.
11:41 am
MollyL
I think I would cry if I let steak get old and freezer burned, as infrequently as I can buy steak.
11:41 am
72 Temple Owl
hoping you stay well, jj
11:41 am
josephjames
It's not really steak it's just steak ummm.
11:41 am
72 Temple Owl
*gasp*
11:42 am
josephjames
I said that didn't I?
11:42 am
MollyL
Oh steak ums. Those things are old and freezer burnt before you buy them.
11:42 am
72 Temple Owl
i had a shake shack burger for the first time. it was good.
11:42 am
josephjames
So you are less worried for my health then?
11:42 am
rururocks
what is a steak um?
11:43 am
MollyL
Cheese steaks.
11:43 am
rururocks
I don't do the frozen food aisle in the store
11:43 am
josephjames
Not even frozen vegetables, or ice cream, or anything?
11:43 am
72 Temple Owl
of course not. i used to eat them and then they changed. and now i live in cheesesteak central.
11:44 am
rururocks
popsicles..i'm off of ice cream
11:44 am
rururocks
no frozen veggies. I tend to cook fresh veggies
11:44 am
72 Temple Owl

11:47 am
MollyL
No one cares about the PB anymore, no worries.
11:48 am
72 Temple Owl
i have a few standbys that i keep, but i do not keep a large or stand alone freezer. i especially do not like to freeze meat.
11:48 am
rururocks
I have been cutting back on meat lately
11:49 am
MollyL
I do flash freeze fresh vegetables when they are in season. They are so much better than the commercial ones. Same with some fresh fruits, like berries and peaches.
11:49 am
josephjames
Me too that is why I failed to notice I had this left in the very back of the freezer.
11:49 am
rururocks

11:50 am
72 Temple Owl

People got all sensitive and hurt feelings about being sent to the PB. It's mostly cobwebs in there now.
11:52 am
72 Temple Owl
enjoy the concert photos, if that is your thing.
11:52 am
72 Temple Owl
the pb is a good time!
11:53 am
MollyL
I agree but the joke of the place seems to elude a lot of people.
11:54 am
72 Temple Owl
hmm, i have not seen that. they misunderstand, never meant to be anything but fun, like the 19th hole.
11:54 am
josephjames
I don't understand hurt feelings about a made up thing that people can't actually do anything about anyway.
11:55 am
MollyL
Again, I agree. It was never meant to be anything but fun. People seem to take things way too seriously in here.
11:55 am
rururocks
*wonders if those people get upset when their imaginary friends are mad at them too*
11:56 am

Probably Ru. And they are probably the ones who think everything is about them.

I kinda miss the pb...used to be there a lot. Felt like a second home.....
11:57 am
josephjames
So go there!
11:57 am
josephjames
I don't understand any of this. How can you miss something that was never there? If someone says to go and you don't want to, then, don't! Oh wait you weren't anyway because it's just made up!

NOBODY can replace B.B:( I was note fortunate enough to see him, but my beloved saw him once. She was 15 at the time and could barely squeak out a word to the blues legend who was a perfect gentleman and let my better half hold his guitar for a moment. I think it was a small venue setting.

Years ago, we went to a wedding where we stayed over at the venue. A wonderful night was had. The following morning, i showered & attempted to get dressed. However, i was unable to get my clean panties up over my knees. I was distraught. I struggled, writhed & squirmed to no avail. Finally I inspected the underwear & was relieved to see that the lable read 'Age 5-6'! True story!
3:32 pm
harpjane
thanks I'm halfway, bbl
3:32 pm
MollyL
I'm not even going to ask why you had underwear that small
3:33 pm
speedfreak
I was also wondering where her undies went?? mmmmmfun wedding
3:34 pm
Soodle
Duh, Molls! I packed my daughter's underwear instead of my own.
3:34 pm
Soodle
The perils of plain white smalls!
3:35 pm
MollyL
Oh wow. If I had a daughter, I would be able to tell her unders from mine.
3:38 pm
Soodle
Alas, i can't afford Victorias Secrets. Nor could I back then. They were plain white cotton. As were hers. Hence the confusion.
3:40 pm
MollyL
I can't afford Victoria Secret either. But what I "wear" would never be confused for what little girls "wear".
3:46 pm
Soodle
Note to self..... Review nether garments at earliest opportunity
3:51 pm
MollyL
Seriously, get something sparky
3:54 pm
MollyL
I'm trying to to push the Too Much Information button. Sparky, womanly, lacy, not little girly...
3:55 pm

I'm having a Bridget Jones moment....
3:56 pm
Soodle
Moving swiftly on .... Nice weather we've been having....
4:01 pm
MollyL
Glorious. How are your dogs, cats and other animals?
4:03 pm
MollyL
Do you have any really boring stories that you have posted here 45 or 50 times?
4:06 pm
Soodle
Emmm. I don't know.... Had I told the knicker story before? Apologies if I did. But it was quite traumatic at the time.
4:08 pm
MollyL
Never heard the knicker story and it sounded more than traumatic.
4:10 pm
MollyL
Ooo, late Judi. How did the yard sale go?
4:11 pm
Judi
Was okay. Make about $125 bucks. Not really worth the effort. Wont' do it a gain.
4:11 pm
Judi
or again even.
4:12 pm
MollyL
That was my feeling about the one and only yard sale I had. People are ridiculous as to how they want to cheap you down on your prices.
4:13 pm
Soodle
Off to bed now to catch up on House of Cards. Hi and bye Judi. Night all.
4:13 pm
Judi
Yep. That's about it. If it was marked $2, they offered $1. *** mustn't punch customers***
4:14 pm
Judi
Had an antique desk out. About 50 people looked at it, touched it, sniffed it, licked it and took pictures of it, but no one bought it.
4:18 pm
Judi
Looking forward to dinner out and a big gulp of tequila.
4:33 pm
MollyL
Ooo, I want the antique desk
4:33 pm
Judi
Ha. Where were you four hours ago?
4:36 pm
Judi
Don't have it, ivesy.
4:36 pm
MollyL
People are so "Ikea" these days. And God, is that fugly furniture. No taste for the old stuff.
4:36 pm
MollyL
tu7 is bad spelling of 2000 pounds and what the spoon ran away with
4:37 pm
Judi
Ikea is so over-priced. Anything you can put together with a crappy little hex wrench should be next to free.
4:38 pm
Judi
But it is fun trying to say the silly names of the Ikea furniture.
4:39 pm
Judi
Ektorp. Flugold. Fuktard. Oops. Maybe not that last one.
4:40 pm
MollyL
Stark blond furniture and bare wood floors. Nothing warm and inviting about that.
4:41 pm
Judi
It's a Swedish thing I guess.
4:42 pm
MollyL
Yes and people will jump on any bandwagon that goes down the street
4:46 pm
Judi
I'm so not a bandwagon jumper. Well, maybe if that bandwagon is serving wine.
4:47 pm
MollyL
You are driving that bandwagon
: D
4:47 pm

4:54 pm

4:55 pm
MollyL
is + what comes before "maid" (fish woman) + religion suffix
4:57 pm
rolin
ty molly..never heard of it...
4:58 pm
MollyL
It's a brainiac chemistry word
4:58 pm
rolin
it has been explained to me by my partner... (a bit of a brainiac)..!
5:01 pm
Judi
I got the first part of the is10. Not the religious part. I am a sinner!
5:02 pm

We're dry as toast. Need the clouds to unzip here.
5:13 pm

No worries. I'm looking at the radar weather map and it's all headed your way. Put on your galoshes before you go out to swill tequila.

It's pouring at The Preakness Stakes in Maryland. Awful. Those poor horses and jockeys.
5:16 pm
MollyL
I've been to Preakness. Most of the people there are too drunk to care.
5:16 pm
Judi
Time to go prepare for the evening out. See y'all tomorrow! *POOF*
5:17 pm
MimiCat
I don't care about the crowd...just the horses and jockeys. The change of track can really make a difference in who wins.
5:18 pm
MollyL
I'm rooting for a long odds horse so any change in the track works in my favor.

5:19 pm
MimiCat
The race I love is the Derby...have an emotional attachment to it since my mother/grandmother was from Kentucky and we used to watch it together every year. I used to have an uncanny knack for picking the winner.
5:23 pm
MimiCat
Derby winner won. I liked him. Thought he's do well since he seems to like the rain while other horses are put off by it. There were only 8 running today.
5:26 pm

Howdy, harry:) Horray for half-way!
8:28 pm
crosshair
can you lend a hand with any word from the second column I please?
8:28 pm
HarryHood
first half of this grid has been a pleasure - apparently it gets worse
8:32 pm
HarryHood
it 5/12?
8:32 pm
HarryHood
is that it?
8:32 pm
HarryHood
it's a plural of it4/5
8:32 pm
crosshair
lookin...
8:33 pm
crosshair
nope, that is not it:(
8:33 pm
HarryHood
it is. the it4/5 can be worked from the 3rd column i, but the plural only from the 2nd.
8:33 pm
crosshair
oh .yes, it is. it just took on the third try:(
8:34 pm
crosshair
ty, harry
8:34 pm
crosshair
I hate it when the grid refuses to take a word until it has been tried multiple times;(
8:35 pm
HarryHood
grid won't take my new word: trunkate - to shorten an elephant's proboscis
8:35 pm
crosshair
darn Enable:)
8:36 pm
HarryHood
the gall
8:36 pm
crosshair
And twerk must be too new a thing for it as well. Not that twerking should be granted any real status anyways.
8:37 pm
HarryHood
would it be twerk or twirk? both should be acceptable as alternate spellings. as well as tweark.
8:40 pm
crosshair
All I can think of when I hear that word is that Miley kid that is in the news all the time. if I were Billy, I would move to a different hemisphere to disassociate myself from that disaster:/
8:40 pm
HarryHood
that disaster is probably funding his retireent
8:41 pm

200 down. going to the list
8:43 pm
HarryHood
ooh Mr. Diggler is in the grid
8:46 pm

8:47 pm
HarryHood
I don't think I will finish.
8:51 pm
stidgmere
Me, too Harry. I've been working on this for awhile and the time involved is more than I want to put into the grid.
8:54 pm
crosshair
Howdy, stidgmere:) I am content with NBT, NBS, and will try for half-way. Gone are the days where i would drive myself relentlessly to finish:)
8:55 pm
HarryHood
yes - like right now, I'm skipping those darn Ks.
8:55 pm
crosshair
My first year of babble, i would go without sleep if it meant finishing lol. to heck with that!
8:58 pm
stidgmere
I enjoy the challenge and find many words come more easily now but I cannot do the finish whatever cost part. As a result, the stats by my name are pretty sorry.
9:00 pm
crosshair
My stats are pathetic indeed after 6 years of it:)
9:01 pm
stidgmere
And yet, crossy, we are happy--not relying on outside measures of our worth.
9:01 pm

9:10 pm
HarryHood
is the so8 a normal word?
9:10 pm
72 Temple Owl
legalese
9:10 pm
crosshair
it is a unusual compound word
9:11 pm
72 Temple Owl
or mostly obsolete usage, adverb
9:15 pm
HarryHood
59 to go...I'm done. perhaps will come back later.
9:18 pm

I am looking at some of the early Beta reviews for the upcoming Windows 10, and I thin i shall leave it alone and give it a year in the market after it is available for download this year. Lots of mixed reviews out there, and I am happy with my Win 7 still:)

Sometimes it is a good thing to let the first buyers work out the features.

I don't pretend to know why things happen the way they do.....that's why I pray a lot.....I have a long list but I will be happy to include you. Blessings

peach - thank you so much, and so sorry to hear about your granddaughter's ordeal. Yes, I am doing very well now - MRI this year was clear and I am right as rain according to the docs. Insurance/lawsuit issues resolved in my favor so I can stop fussing about that too. I just haven't taken the time to update here as I haven't been on much.
