And there is my American Pie earworm...

7:27 am

MollyL

di6/27?

7:27 am

BzznBea

Yes.

7:28 am

MollyL

I remember thinking it was very cool that I memorized all the lyrics to that song. That and "Taxi" by Harry Chapin.

7:28 am

Judi

Good morning, all.

7:28 am

BzznBea

And I can still remember every word, when it plays.

7:29 am

BzznBea

Good morning, Judi.

7:30 am

BzznBea

I think could sing every word on the American Pie album. I still love Starry, Starry Night.

7:31 am

MollyL

Don McLean is 75. How did that happen?

7:32 am

Judi

The Rolling Stones are in their 70s. Egad!

7:34 am

MollyL

Springsteen just turned 71. Oy.

7:35 am

Judi

Wonder how old Ozzy Osborne is?

7:36 am

MollyL

Are you ready? Almost 72.

7:36 am

Judi

Woof!

7:37 am

MollyL

And we just keep getting younger and younger.

7:40 am

Judi

William Shatner is 81. To think I once wanted to marry that guy. Oy.

7:40 am

Judi

Although he is freshly divorced...

7:41 am

MollyL

But then you heard him singing "She Blinded Me With Science" and thought WHAT WAS I THINKING???

7:42 am

Judi

I have successfullly avoided listening to Shatner "sing" anything. Just can't wrap my head around it.

7:43 am

Judi

Thid grid sucks.

7:44 am

Judi

"this" rather.

7:45 am

Judi

Off to do other puzzle. Later, peeps.

7:45 am

hokie carla

freshly divorced? here's your chance, judi.

7:47 am

hokie carla

ooh, I did not get tripped up by the accounting word today

7:48 am

BzznBea

Which one is that?

7:48 am

hokie carla

au5, I usually miss it

7:48 am

MollyL

It is kind of right there in an obvious way today.

7:49 am

hokie carla

of course most A words trip me up and I still have 4 from that A

7:49 am

hokie carla

molly, don't try to take away my victory!

7:49 am

BzznBea

I just found my last A, if that makes you feel better.

7:49 am

hokie carla

oh, there's 2 more

7:50 am

MollyL

Was your last one au5? That took me a while.

7:50 am

hokie carla

well, I don't know if it does or not, bea. does that mean they are super hard today? or you just started and found them easy peasy

7:51 am

hokie carla

I have a set that digs holes

7:52 am

MollyL

Nope, the other au5

7:52 am

BzznBea

My last one was au 5.12.

7:53 am

MollyL

Yeah that one.

7:53 am

7:54 am

hokie carla

7:56 am

hokie carla

8:29 am

hokie carla

8:58 am

BzznBea

Larry was watching a documentary on on his computer this morning about the rock and roll radio and concerts in the StL area during the 70's and 80's. Could you imagine seeing the Rolling Stones for the price of admission to a night club?

8:59 am

hokie carla

9:09 am

BzznBea

See you all tomorrow. Stay safe and don't watch the news for your own sanity.

9:10 am

9:23 am

penquis

9:31 am

MollyL

*Sigh* I remember when concert tickets were affordable. Now the prices are ridiculous.

9:32 am

rururocks

you want to go to a concert?

9:33 am

MollyL

Not really. I was just remembering when the ticket prices were reasonable.

9:34 am

MollyL

Same for theater tickets. Especially when I had a college ID.

9:35 am

rururocks

it's going to be a long, long time before I ever go to a concert again

9:38 am

MollyL

This COVID thing is really changing life permanently for a lot of people

9:39 am

MollyL

Ru, do you feel the same way about going to the theater? If so, too bad, because I know you enjoy that.

9:39 am

rururocks

yes.. I agree.. it sure is

9:40 am

rururocks

i won't do a theater until there's a vaccine for sure

9:41 am

MollyL

That is a shame. Now, the question of the day is why did the Google doodle people feel the need to celebrate the dachshund bobble head? : O

9:49 am

rururocks

I'm not getting on an airplane either

9:56 am

MollyL

I wonder what plane travel is like now, compared to pre-virus.

9:57 am

rururocks

i know people who are flying, but I wont' do it

9:57 am

MollyL

Compartment train travel is a good alternative.

9:57 am

rururocks

private jet would be better for me :D

9:58 am

MollyL

Well certainly. For those who can afford high dollar travel, I'm sure that is nice.

9:58 am

rururocks

I wonder if heiresses would consider a fairly old cabana boy :D

10:14 am

MollyL

Depends on how well you catered to their every whim, I suppose.
: D

10:14 am

MollyL

How are you at peeling grapes?

10:14 am

rururocks

pretty good with my teeth :D

10:15 am

MollyL

Sure. And I bet you can tie a cherry stem in a knot with your tongue.

10:16 am

rururocks

how'd you know?

10:35 am

11:21 am

hokie carla

ahah

11:21 am

moolingwa

11:21 am

hokie carla

11:24 am

MollyL

Oh great. Carla is going to start singing again

11:25 am

hokie carla

I really did in my mind unfortunately

11:25 am

hokie carla

I need one E from the one above that

11:25 am

MollyL

That's okay. I'm sure Nan is all about MC Hammer
: D

11:25 am

hokie carla

totally

11:26 am

hurshy

you probably need er5/16

11:26 am

MollyL

I bet she has the pants too

11:26 am

hokie carla

yep

11:27 am

hurshy

i have LA8, what are the other 8s?

11:28 am

hokie carla

I have an easy ch8

11:28 am

hokie carla

I don't know the 3rd

11:29 am

hokie carla

ok, is the er5/16 everyday or weird?

11:29 am

hurshy

very weird

11:30 am

hokie carla

of course

11:30 am

hurshy

e + carpet + vowel

11:30 am

hokie carla

gracias

11:30 am

hurshy

easy ch8, huh? hmmmmmm

11:32 am

hokie carla

e's exsanguinated (don't rem. what e you used so hopefully it was different)

11:32 am

hokie carla

wow, one of my missing r's was an easy 4

11:32 am

cybernan

cl 6 please?

11:33 am

hurshy

i don't think i did my E for whatever reason and i don't think i've ever used exsanguinated for it, good one, although spellcheck seems to think it is spelt wrong somehow

11:33 am

hokie carla

like someone in the clergy but a different last letter

11:34 am

hokie carla

yeah, spellcheck was all over me and I looked it up and it is right

11:34 am

cybernan

ty carla

11:34 am

hokie carla

no prob

11:34 am

hurshy

i might need a clue for the easy ch8 :(

11:34 am

hokie carla

anyone else tried the pittsburgh mascot as many times as I have?

11:35 am

hokie carla

you'll never outrun it hurshy

11:35 am

hokie carla

or them I should say

11:36 am

hokie carla

are there any rh? still need 1 R

11:37 am

hokie carla

still 21 left. this is a lot of work at the end like yesterday

11:37 am

MollyL

I can't believe Hurshy doesn't have ch8

11:38 am

MollyL

No rh, there is an rt though

11:38 am

hokie carla

we normally get the alt sp here

11:39 am

MollyL

I wasn't aware there was an alternate spelling for ch8

11:40 am

hokie carla

one less vowel

11:41 am

hokie carla

maybe that means something else?

11:46 am

hokie carla

hurshy has now disappeared

11:47 am

hokie carla

oh, just saw molly's rt post. guess that is it. not sure I know any rt words, so if anyone wants to tell the stats, I will take them.

11:50 am

mattygroves

An RT? Did I read that right?

11:50 am

mattygroves

Not according to Likety ;)

11:51 am

MollyL

I was joking with Carla but it didn't even phase her

11:51 am

hokie carla

maybe molly was messing with me

11:52 am

hokie carla

ha!

11:52 am

mattygroves

:D

11:52 am

mattygroves

There's an ri, but it's a standard, normal word

11:52 am

MollyL

There are actually a lot of words that start with rt. I doubt Enable takes any of them.

11:52 am

mattygroves

Such as? (I believe you, but I can't think of any)

11:52 am

hokie carla

yeah, the ri is the last one I found

11:53 am

MollyL

Someday Rilla is going to be in the grid and Hurshy is going to go on and on and on. Name that proper noun, all day long.

11:53 am

hokie carla

did you see yesterday or the day before I commented that someone played WAQF on me in Words With Friends.

11:53 am

MollyL

Oh I had to look the rt words up Matty.

11:54 am

mattygroves

Molly...what RT words are there? Enquiring minds want to know :)

11:54 am

MollyL

Do a Google search on "words that start with rt"

11:54 am

mattygroves

I just looked them up

11:54 am

mattygroves

I just looked them up
Who knew!

11:55 am

hokie carla

we want you to do the work for us ;)

11:55 am

MollyL

A lot of them are acronyms

11:55 am

MollyL

And hush Carla, there is enough of that in here already

11:55 am

hokie carla

RT itself is an acronym for retweet (twitter)

11:57 am

mattygroves

LOL.

11:57 am

mattygroves

And It's also an abbreviation of Russia Times, I think

11:58 am

hokie carla

I'll have to take your word for that

11:58 am

hokie carla

still haven't found my r :D

11:59 am

mattygroves

Why are pirates called pirates? They just aRRRRgh

12:00 pm

hokie carla

hmm, funny but doesn't help ;P

12:00 pm

mattygroves

Tee he :D

12:02 pm

hokie carla

well I think I'm going to have to break down and use the list for these last 20 now that hurshy has disappeared

12:03 pm

hokie carla

wait, there's a word

12:07 pm

mattygroves

Lol. I have 68 left so doubt I'll finish today. Too much gin to drink ;)

12:08 pm

hokie carla

good thing you have your priorities straight

12:08 pm

mattygroves

Absolutely! Bear in mind it IS after 6pm here ;)

12:09 pm

hokie carla

true. but I was taking that into account ;)

12:13 pm

mattygroves

Excellent. It's been a day full of Teams calls so I feel a G&T is in order. And I discovered our supposedly fixed shower is still leaking - probably worse than before. So not a red letter day

12:15 pm

hokie carla

ugh. we had a tub/shower leaking into our kitchen ceiling and I touched up the paint after it was fixed but it now looks horrible and I see it every time I'm in there. guess I will have to get a roller and redo the whole thing.

12:15 pm

hokie carla

also I think the bay window in my sewing room is leaking again because now there's a spot that I swear I painted over already.

12:17 pm

hokie carla

ok, still 2 4's, 4 5's, 6 6', 5 7's, and 1 8 left. to this list now so I can get on with my laundry.

12:24 pm

hokie carla

maybe this will find hurshy...NTPN - actor from Harry Potter

12:26 pm

mattygroves

I feel I need more gin. I should probably finish this one first though

12:26 pm

hokie carla

LOL, do not run out of gin!

12:30 pm

hokie carla

OMG at our missing P

12:31 pm

hokie carla

and finally got my missing R, a do-over word

12:35 pm

hokie carla

gonna have to look up my last word, a 5! I swear I've tried everything.

12:37 pm

hokie carla

well, I think that's a new one to me. looks like a hawaiian tree and that's what it is. ;)

What does the "get sealed" part of this Jewish holiday mean?

7:10 pm

NatashaW

We pray on RH to be "inscribed" in the book of Life. On Yom Kippur we hope to be "sealed" in it.

7:10 pm

NatashaW

It's like putting the wax thingie on the back of the envelope

7:11 pm

So the greeting during the 10 days btw Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur is, "May you have a good sealing."
