This grid seems a bit Irish, what with the first three cu words : )
7:50 am
MollyL
MLF didn't you say you don't do grids under 100, or am I thinking of someone else
7:51 am
BzznBea
There are a lot of words I would consider gaelic.
7:56 am
rolotom
This grid is very tough
8:28 am
hokie carla
first word I saw was a country - j - didn't know that was not a proper noun until I saw it in serpentine yesterday
8:29 am
bichon
Its an art procedure
8:29 am
BzznBea
That took me to 17. Thanks, Carla.
8:30 am
BzznBea
The J, G, and three Ps make this grid so tough, I think.
8:30 am
hokie carla
de nada
8:31 am
hokie carla
I have 6 total. hehe
8:34 am
BzznBea
I had to monkey half the J words to grey the tile.

BzznBea
My youngest daughter was about born on this day. I told her I was glad she was 32 and not 8. =)
8:48 am
hokie carla
lol, my dog is intently watching this puppy bowl
8:49 am
welki
what sort of dog, hokie? dogs on tv drive my dog nutty
8:50 am
welki
(did i use the word 'dog' enough in that post?)
8:51 am
hokie carla
I have a golden. he is cracking me up. he wishes he was playing football with them.
8:52 am
BzznBea
Bea's Joke of the Day : Why do ducks have feathers? To cover their butt quacks.
8:52 am
welki
we've had goldens, too - the best dogs ever (for us), although they were all "the best" when we had them, no matter what the breed
8:52 am
hokie carla
of course when I tried to take a pic he turned away because people came on the screen
8:52 am
LuvWordGames

8:52 am

8:53 am
hokie carla
welki, they really are the best. I can't imagine a life without a dog.
8:54 am
hokie carla
wow, I actually found both the u's without trouble today
8:54 am
BzznBea
No, one of my young mother friends told it to her sons.
8:54 am
welki
if i recall correctly, our golden was (very) distantly related to ru's monty
8:55 am
welki
and i agree, hokie - we tried to make believe that we could carry on without a dog
8:56 am
hokie carla
aww. there is a golden database.(can't rem. the website right now) you can basically look up any golden that was registered with akc and see their family tree.
8:56 am
welki
k9 database
8:57 am
hokie carla
my husband didn't want another after we lost our last one but my youngest son asked for one for his birthday and I wanted another. yes, I knew k9 was in the name somewhere.

9:09 am
hokie carla
what are these g's? I've found more j's than g's.
9:11 am
BzznBea
I can tell you that most of them are anagrams of each other.
9:12 am
hokie carla
I have 2 4's. I don't see any anagrams of those. will keep looking, thanks.
9:13 am
BzznBea
Try flipping the vowels.
9:13 am
hokie carla
oh, I had missed the one that is common in GF flour blends
9:13 am
kittychan
those g's stink. there's only 2 5's and they're both plurals. use the last vowel
9:14 am
hokie carla
that one has an anagram
9:14 am
hokie carla
I have 6/7 now!

cu6/33 cu7/48 the seven is a plural. new words for me
9:22 am
BzznBea
cu6.33 and cu7.38
9:22 am
hokie carla
ooh, I have the slow cooker lid, didn't know they came out with an air fryer lid? do you have a newer model with air fryer function? mine is older and I saw they were coming out with a new one.

9:24 am
hokie carla
I don't know who to believe! ;-)
9:24 am
BzznBea
I have a duo plus I think. Just the pressure cooker. But the company has made an airfryer lid to go over the pressure cooker.
9:24 am
hokie carla
I'll have to check into that
9:24 am
rururocks
i tend to be a slow cooker naturally
9:25 am
hokie carla
let me know when you use it and what you make
9:25 am
hokie carla
ru, me too. anytime a recipe tells the total time, it takes me way longer
9:26 am
BzznBea
I'm going to fix chicken fajitas in the instant pot tonight. Then I'm going to air fry flour torillas for chips. Start out easy.
9:27 am
rururocks

9:27 am
hokie carla
I steamed chicken wings in mine last week. I wonder if they could get crispy with that air fryer lid.
9:27 am
BzznBea
Yes, they do, Carla.
9:28 am
rururocks
but then with the air fryer bea you gotta yell like the guy on tv
9:28 am
hokie carla
well, I can't seem to get the right combo for these cu words that aren't real. would love a clue.
9:29 am
rururocks

9:31 am

9:48 am
hokie carla
jumble of the day? job of the day?
9:48 am
rururocks

9:48 am
BzznBea
Joke of the Day
9:49 am
hokie carla
ah, perfect
9:49 am
rururocks
it's condescending and demeaning and really irritating too
9:49 am
72 Temple Owl
i was so confused- my friend who had come to but wine said the small store had a huge selection.
9:50 am
hokie carla
ungrateful and disrespectful to your guests too
9:50 am
72 Temple Owl
i think it's just plain rude.
9:50 am
72 Temple Owl
must go, need to make something for tonight's dance and pot luck. it's mardi gras - a little late. morrocan carrot salad i think
9:51 am
72 Temple Owl

*waiting for the bad puns*
9:53 am
72 Temple Owl
we were at the state soter at 9 when it opened. like a couple of derelicts.
9:53 am
hokie carla
my brother lost a fingertip at work years ago and I can't tell you how many times he's like, "oh, I just cut my finger off" in the kitchen, etc.
9:53 am
rururocks
that's kind of funny
9:54 am
rururocks
to's comment not your brother's loss hokie
9:54 am
hokie carla
oh, it's fine if that's funny. he's trying to be funny.
9:54 am
72 Temple Owl
my grandfather worked in a lumber yard and lost one to the joint. we kids thought it was funny
9:55 am
rururocks
i've managed to keep all my fingers through life.
9:55 am
hokie carla
my uncle lost several fingers at work and we kids thought it was funny, but he is the dad joke uncle so is always trying to be funny.
9:55 am
72 Temple Owl
nowadays folks would be all "ehy didn't they sew it on? why didn;t you fix it?"
9:56 am
hokie carla
they couldn't do my brother's for some reason. I don't remember. I think because of where it was, plus he's diabetic so I think it would've had a tough time healing.
9:57 am
hokie carla
well, I'm throwing in the towel and going to the list
9:57 am
72 Temple Owl
seriously - when we were kids we would see all kinds of anomalies and just accepted them. a few years ago i saw someone with what i would consider a deformity and it just jarred me. funny how we bevome conditioned.or perhaps it's just my weirdness.
9:59 am
72 Temple Owl
we went to a flea marktet and folks were camped out a 5:30AM in the 28 degreee weather to be first in line. no wonder we headed to the liquor store afterwards, it was so mobbed
9:59 am
hokie carla
that's insane
9:59 am
hokie carla
nobody's junk is worth that early and that cold
9:59 am
rururocks
that surely is nuts..
9:59 am
72 Temple Owl
really. they took turns standing in line while the others went to their cars
10:01 am
hokie carla
ok, went to the list and already stuck on the first two
10:01 am
72 Temple Owl
the funny thing is my friend is one who does that marie kondo crap. every time i pick something up she asked me where i will put it or what i will do with it, do i really need it, etc
10:03 am
rururocks
heading out.. have fun you guys
10:03 am

11:05 am
cybernan

11:06 am
LeslieAnn
it's more like ground cover i think. vicuna?
11:06 am
bichon
pu 5/24, pls
11:06 am
Vicuna
Yeah, it's a weed in my lawn. But I let it be because plenty of people plant it on purpose for a ground cover. It has pretty flowers.
11:08 am
lil*monkey
bichon, it uses the high-point tile
11:08 am
LeslieAnn
i have a plural pu 5/24, it involves the highest point tile
11:08 am
Vicuna

11:13 am
LeslieAnn
looks like cu, biltong
11:13 am
Biltong
ty, Vicuna and Leslie
11:14 am
cybernan
thought that cu 6-7 had a double consonant in it
11:14 am
Vicuna
That's how I've seen it spelled, cybernan. I suppose this must be a variant.
11:15 am
MollyL
It usually does Nan. I have no Idea how Enable digs up it's approved spellings. Probably something from the 16th century.
11:17 am
cybernan
gur is a word -- it means ground under repair
11:18 am
cybernan
not only that, if there is gur - that is where my golf ball will be
11:19 am
Biltong
May I please have a clue for the cu7?
11:20 am
cybernan
it is a plural of the 6 -- a small boat (irish/gaelic word) - begin with a mutt and end with a sound of satisfaction
11:25 am
lil*monkey

11:34 am

No one seems to be liking this grid. Or referring to it as "easy peasy".
11:34 am
lil*monkey
Def not easy peasy. More like witty shitty.
11:36 am
MollyL
Has anyone heard from Ruby? I haven't seen her here in a few days. I don't want to ring any alarm bells. I know she has health issues. I just get concerned when she doesn't check in for a while.
