Hello all! May I please have a nudge on the so6?

4:47 am

lynxxx

compound...sometimes preceded by whom

4:47 am

mattygroves

Thanks lynxxx!

4:48 am

lynxxx

YW Cases are dropping quite quickly over here...perhaps out of the lockdown stage 4 in 3 weeks, fingers crossed.

4:48 am

mattygroves

Fingers very crossed! You're also in Melbourne?

4:50 am

lynxxx

Yes - on other side of Melbourne to your daughter, about the same distance to centre of Melbourne. About 30 minutes drive to her. I worked over there in my last job b4 I retired

4:50 am

mattygroves

Aaaah! So are you nearish Rose?

4:52 am

lynxxx

Rose is about an hours drive from me (my SIL live up near hjere) but she is on same side of Melbourne as me. I am in Elwood nr St Kilda if you want to look at a map.

4:52 am

mattygroves

Oooh - I've been to St Kilda ;)

4:53 am

lynxxx

Prime tourist area - not so much at the moment!!

4:53 am

mattygroves

No. Also, it being winter (and global pandemic)

4:54 am

lynxxx

You probably went to Acland Street which is 15 minute walk from me.

4:54 am

mattygroves

Sure - let's go with that ;) (I don't remember exactly - my daughter took me.) I was a tad concerned when Sarah pointed out the shark spotting aircraft. And jellyfish

4:55 am

lynxxx

Maybe we could meet when you come for the 1st birthday!

4:56 am

mattygroves

That would be lovely! I've met Rose twice (once here and once there) - I will let you know when I come (I suspect it may be nearer 2nd birthday than first though, given the UK is still a plague pit compared to Australia)

4:57 am

lynxxx

I'm leaving this for the night - catch up with you next time. Bye

4:58 am

mattygroves

Good Morning SamanthaJoy

9:52 am

phaeton

help with the first vi5?

9:52 am

SamanthaJoy

And how are you doing today? Or possibly this evening, what with time changes and all?

9:53 am

rururocks

i'm fine .. less smoky here

9:53 am

rururocks

how are you SJ

9:54 am

Aussieme

It's almost 4pm here, and I've accomplised everything I set out on my to-do list today, so I'm a happy bunny

9:54 am

SamanthaJoy

Phae, the first one I have is like a vi5 cassette recorder, but change the middle consonant

9:54 am

SamanthaJoy

I'm pretty dammed good, really. Took a day off work last week, for a four day weekend. I REALLY needed that.

9:56 am

SamanthaJoy

(But I'm missing a V, so I don't know if it's the right one.)

9:56 am

Aussieme

that leads to the vi6 too phae, using a plural

9:56 am

phaeton

ty Sam and Aussie

9:57 am

SamanthaJoy

BTW the Official Phantom of the Day is "oeuvre."

9:57 am

dan2bit

also vermin

9:58 am

SamanthaJoy

I typed that in three times last night, convinced that the only reason it wasn't going is that I was obviously misspelling it.

10:02 am

rururocks

i've started taking three day weekends every week in my career

10:03 am

SamanthaJoy

I generally work a 4x10. I just needed an extra day this week.

10:06 am

rururocks

all this SIP has taught me a lot about what retirement will be like for me

10:08 am

SamanthaJoy

My husband is also working from home. We're in Texas so it's not exactly SIP here.

10:10 am

SamanthaJoy

Someone want to tell me which V I'm missing? ðŸ¤£ðŸ˜œ

10:11 am

rururocks

vi5

10:11 am

SamanthaJoy

I've got two. Are there three?

10:11 am

rururocks

there are two vi 5's

10:12 am

rururocks

you have vo4?

10:12 am

SamanthaJoy

Not yet! Thanks!

10:12 am

rururocks

<---hokie would be proud of me

10:12 am

SamanthaJoy

I do now

10:13 am

SamanthaJoy

And I am grateful to you

10:13 am

rururocks

yqw

10:14 am

rururocks

i had a problem with a S and one o.. other than that it's pretty straightforward this grid

10:15 am

SamanthaJoy

I generally start stalling around 35, and that's where I am. Ironically it's the smaller words. I knocked out the 7s and 8s in the first ten minutes.

10:15 am

rururocks

a lot of reverse direction 4's

10:17 am

SamanthaJoy

*knuckles down*

10:18 am

rururocks

i have to run.. delivering groceries to some friends who can't go out to shop... have a nice day samantha

10:20 am

hurshy

name that proper noun! Russian dictator

10:21 am

hurshy

phantom: putative

10:22 am

hydra

I tried kermit but it wouldn't allow it!

10:22 am

hurshy

that's what "name that proper noun!" is for

10:23 am

hurshy

you could say "name that proper noun! famous frog" and then we would say and it gets it out of your system

10:23 am

hydra

lol

10:24 am

SamanthaJoy

Ruru, I think I'm stuck on the same O you were.

10:24 am

saanichcat

do you mean Putin, hursh?

10:24 am

SamanthaJoy

Are they all OVs?

10:24 am

hurshy

ding ding ding!!!

10:26 am

hurshy

ugh, the color came out too bright on my shirt, i guess i ov7 it

10:27 am

SamanthaJoy

Nah, it's a 4, 5, or 6.

10:27 am

saanichcat

ty hursh

10:27 am

hurshy

ov6, past tense (i believe that's for use in cricket?)

10:28 am

dan2bit

it's funny that hurshy's clue could work for two different compound words but only one is recognized by enable

10:28 am

SamanthaJoy

And I promise you I will get all the Os and then I will keep trying to find oeuvre in this puzzle!

10:28 am

SamanthaJoy

I have the pt

10:28 am

SamanthaJoy

Are they all OVs?

10:29 am

hurshy

then i'm missing the same O as you are samantha

10:29 am

SamanthaJoy

Ah ha

10:29 am

saanichcat

puir

10:29 am

saanichcat

oops sorry

10:29 am

hurshy

oh, it is an egg

10:29 am

hurshy

so yes, they are all ov

10:29 am

SamanthaJoy

Ah ha! Thanks hursh

10:30 am

hurshy

funny sometimes how you're not seeing it and then your eyes go to the chog and back and POP there it is

10:34 am

hurshy

now if only that would happen with my two missing S words :D

10:35 am

SamanthaJoy

You have so6?

10:35 am

Aloyisius

hunting so6.27 now

10:35 am

hurshy

no!

10:35 am

SamanthaJoy

And the 5/6/7 combo?

10:36 am

hurshy

yes

10:36 am

hurshy

i dried soviet but it is only a phantom

10:36 am

SamanthaJoy

Not really a combo. The 6 is unrelated so I missed it until recently, is why I mentioned it.

10:36 am

SamanthaJoy

Then we're probably down to missing the same one

10:37 am

dan2bit

there is a 4/5/7 combo having to do with 7

10:37 am

hurshy

well we WILL be if i find that so6 you mean

10:37 am

hurshy

ahh thanks for that 7 dan

10:37 am

SamanthaJoy

Whomso6 has ears to hear......

10:37 am

hurshy

ty sam

10:38 am

SamanthaJoy

I had the 4 5 7, so I'm out of ideas. I guess it wasn't the same one.

10:38 am

Aloyisius

ty Sam!

10:38 am

hurshy

sam there is a color found in some old photographs

10:39 am

SamanthaJoy

GOT IT THANK YOU!

10:40 am

hurshy

phantom: vermin

10:41 am

SamanthaJoy

The Phantom of the Day is still oeuvre, though

10:41 am

hurshy

i'm cool with that

10:42 am

hurshy

phantoms: vitiate, verified

10:42 am

Aloyisius

all done.. any clue needed before I scoot?

10:43 am

SamanthaJoy

Haven't listed yet, so no, but thank you

10:43 am

hurshy

can you guess my missing V?

10:43 am

hurshy

i have a vi5-6 combo, otherwise all 4s

10:43 am

SamanthaJoy

Second vi5?

10:43 am

SamanthaJoy

Double a consonant.

10:43 am

hurshy

aHA

10:43 am

hurshy

thanks sam

10:44 am

Aloyisius

yes, I guess vi5.16

10:44 am

hurshy

10:50 am

SuzeeQ24

this is true

10:51 am

dan2bit

name that proper noun - detail grinding tool

10:51 am

SuzeeQ24

dremel

10:51 am

SamanthaJoy

Dremel. Already typed it in more times than I should!

10:52 am

dan2bit

yeah it's like kleenex or zamboni, where the brand name achieves parity with the noun itself

10:53 am

SamanthaJoy

K, all, what's my missing P?

10:54 am

hurshy

hmm maybe pu5

10:55 am

SamanthaJoy

That was it! You are so good at this.

10:55 am

Huh. No, not yet. Thanks.
