I'm glad the dictionary is working again.

12:49 am

rbud

no kidding, I've used it several times, just wondering what the heck some of these are

12:53 am

rbud

I've found a set of ba 5, 6, and 7 that sound sort of related to cigarette contents, but are actually berries

12:53 am

rbud

they use the double consonant

12:54 am

Kamanjah

berries!

12:56 am

rbud

hiya, Kam - berries or olives, it looks like

12:57 am

Kamanjah

Hiya rbud!

12:57 am

Kamanjah

This is a real bear!

12:58 am

rbud

yes it is! I'm beating morewords to death, bwahaha

1:00 am

rururocks

if it is olives.. I still haven't tapenade into the clue :D

1:01 am

Kamanjah

I've been there a couple of times...haha! Actually, I'm remembering some of the really obsolete ones tonight. Maybe all the retrogrades makes my brain try harder? ;)

1:01 am

Kamanjah

1:01 am

jwr

1:05 am

jwr

1:05 am

jwr

ad hominem too

1:06 am

jwr

okay, cancel the last one. I'm giving up, not quite halfway

1:07 am

rbud

the ba5 is like to----o (the cig contents) but change the last vowel. then some silly endings...

1:07 am

Kamanjah

Found a big thing Scots throw in competition

1:07 am

rbud

rubyfoo

Except Raffie has been hiding in the garden since yesterday's traumatic day. She had small surgery but they anaesthetized her and cut and shaved a lot of her knotd and dirty fur. She looks ridiculouz, zo perhaps hy whe is hiding.

3:48 am

zoozzoom

Not a problem, Ruby. I can read typos as good as I can type them myself :-)

3:49 am

zoozzoom

I am sure it was traumatic for you too to see her go for surgery. Hope you will feel better soon too ((Ruby))

4:12 am

zoozzoom

4:16 am

rubyfoo

rubyfoo

4:17 am

zoozzoom

MollyL

Ruby, it has a double consonant and ends like a peach-like fruit

4:17 am

rubyfoo

4:17 am

zoozzoom

Two clues for the price of one!

car.eeyore

How is your hand/wrist?

10:19 am

Trifioso

scrabbler, I have been loving following your adventure in flooring - and helpers!

10:19 am

car.eeyore

Are you having surgery on it?

10:19 am

Scrabbler

My alter ego is Sister Mary Pediatrica, so to talk of being a cougar is funny.

10:20 am

Scrabbler

Much better and I will see a hand surgeon on Monday.

10:20 am

Scrabbler

I enjoy enteraining folks with my mis-adventures.

10:20 am

Trifioso

ask them if you can help....buff it.

10:21 am

Scrabbler

Hahaha!

10:21 am

rururocks

what are you talking about?

10:21 am

Scrabbler

I am having 1700 square feet of flooring done in my house so I have had a lot of men here since Friday.

10:21 am

car.eeyore

LOL...buff...I love that word

10:22 am

Trifioso

we are shamelessly objectifying YOUR gender for once, ruru

10:23 am

Scrabbler

ruru, I have played the role of cougar with all of these young laborers here.

10:23 am

rururocks

oh

10:25 am

rururocks

(I kind of remember the ol' cougar thing)

10:26 am

car.eeyore

I have to read something now. I'm not sure I can do it with my br5 being like pudding, but I shall try. HAGD everyone

10:26 am

rururocks

10:30 am

great scrabs.. there's nothing worse than a guy trying to do a job and have customers mess with their tools :D

10:35 am

cybernan

ty ch1212

10:36 am

Scrabbler

Rur, these guys have so many tools, some wrapped around their waists, and many power tools.

10:36 am

Trifioso

I love a man who is good with his tool(s)

10:37 am

Scrabbler

These guys are expert tool users. And then to hear the power saws. *growl*

10:38 am

Trifioso

yummy

10:38 am

Trifioso

go get em, tiger!

10:38 am

rururocks

:D no hardhats in bed though

10:39 am

Scrabbler

I am struggling to get halfway here.

10:40 am

Scrabbler

Ouch,

10:41 am

ch1212

Scrabbler, I agree. By the way, we're having new countertops installed today.

10:44 am

Scrabbler

I need that dne too, ch. The problem with a new project is that other projects are then needed-upgrades. I need a surround shower-tub installed, new counters, backsplashes...I won't be able to retire til 92.

10:46 am

ch1212

I understand! We put in cork floors in 3 rooms a couple years ago, but the main living room-kitchen floors really need replacing. The countertops moved to the top of the list when a plumber cracked them while installing our new sink. We're reusing the old backsplash until we can afford to do the special tiling I'd like. One thing at a time :)

10:47 am

Scrabbler

Yes, one project at a time...and paying off home equity loan along the way.

10:48 am

Scrabbler

I like to do some projects on my own, but I cannot do everything.

10:48 am

NatashaW

Deferred maintenance is my middle name... my floors have needed resanding or replacing for years but the amount of work that entails is so off-putting I have decided to just live with it.

10:49 am

ch1212

R-E-S-P-E-C-T! I have no talent or muscle for DIY. Good for you, Scrabs!

Natasha, that's approach has a long standing reputation ;)

10:50 am

rururocks

what's DIY?

10:51 am

Scrabbler

Natasha, my carpeting needed to be removed 15 years ago, maybe 20, but I kept putting it off, trying to save money, or paying for other necessities. Finally the carpet got so disgusting that I took out a home equity loan. And this project (new tiles in kitchen/entryway and laminate flooring) will transform my home.

10:51 am

ch1212

Do It Yourself

10:51 am

Scrabbler

Do It Yourself

10:52 am

Scrabbler

I replaced tiles in my shower after first installing a cement board behind it--videos and other how-to websites helped.

10:54 am

Trifioso

scrabbler, I agree about the videos! I have done SO many things around here after watching super helpful videos

10:54 am

Trifioso

10:56 am

Scrabbler

I wish we could help each other on projects.

10:56 am

Trifioso

I absolutely LOVE learning to do something new. It feels GREAT

10:57 am

Scrabbler

Me too.

10:58 am

Scrabbler

Next on tap = painting my living room. I have wooden panels, which were stained a dark brown.

10:59 am

Trifioso

ugh. sounds like a job for Kilz!

11:00 am

Scrabbler

I already painted one section in a hallway and I just painted right over easily.

11:01 am

Trifioso

11:02 am

mixi6

my first retirement job was to find the walls, then paint the walls and ceilings.

11:02 am

mixi6

after 10 years a couple of closets have not been done, nor most of the interior doors.

11:03 am

mixi6

11:03 am

Trifioso

the doors in my house are my cross to bear.....all the upstairs closets had those hanging sliding doors, and they have ALL come off.

11:04 am

Scrabbler

I have those too, Trif. What do you change them to?

11:04 am

Trifioso

empty gaping holes

11:05 am

mixi6

the bedroom doors are plain, but all the others are louvered and must be stripped first. Done a couple.

11:10 am

Scrabbler

I like to walk through Lowe's and Home Depot to get ideas and see choices.

8:46 pm

Natasha

8:49 pm

MaMaWA

Ba not front but double the 3d letter and add what you did when you had dinner?

8:50 pm

MaMaWA

Hi not a good clue but not sure of definition

8:50 pm

smithchick

It's part of a series ba5, ba6, and ba7. They are berries. They use the double consonant and another vowel for the 5, two more vowels for the 6 and the past tense word meaning ingested food for the last three of the 7.

8:50 pm

MaMaWA

Oh yes now I remember the berries clue !

8:51 pm

smithchick

Wasn't that a nice concise clue?

8:51 pm

Natasha

thinking on it! thanks

8:51 pm

smithchick

Lol, it took me forever to monkey the 7. I kept wanting to do three vowels at the end.

8:52 pm

Natasha

got all three--that actually was a good description. thanks again!

8:53 pm

smithchick

Sure!

8:54 pm

smithchick

9:21 pm

smithchick

The cu7 is a chemistry word that is sometimes spelled cou. I want to say it is a medication.

9:21 pm

smithchick

The cu5 word is the little fruits that end with the sometimes vowel.

9:21 pm

Natasha

you're welcome!

9:23 pm

smithchick

Cu7 is used as an anticoagulant.

9:24 pm

MaMaWA

TY !

9:34 pm

Marc Freeman

What is with the cu4's I found one but can't seem to find the other 2. I monkeyed around and even went to AtoZ but nothing.

9:34 pm

MaMaWA

Why isn't capri a good word? aaarrrgghhh

9:34 pm

Marc Freeman

sorry found them

9:41 pm

MaMaWA

I am stuck on ca 's but going to try and monkey thru

9:58 pm

smithchick

One of the cu4's just has a different third letter and the other is like the vegetable on the cob but with a different vowel.

9:59 pm

smithchick

Throw a sometimes vowel on one of them for cu5.

10:04 pm

smithchick
