2:00 pm

zoozzoom

Mools does mot like clues so I am just saying to him they are easy so he does not try to over complicate the looking process.

2:01 pm

hokie carla

2:01 pm

zoozzoom

Exactly, Hokie.

2:01 pm

hokie carla

my biggest problem right now is the middle T, still need 6 there.

2:01 pm

MLFAN17

sometimes that just happens in general

2:02 pm

hokie carla

I even got the brit spellings in the m today

2:02 pm

zoozzoom

My problem is my eye sight is no where as good as it used to be and my meds make me a bit thuddy and I tend to come across as rude. I do not mean to be.

2:03 pm

hokie carla

oh, I didn't read it that way at all

2:03 pm

penquis

cybernan

2:24 pm

penquis

no, thanks, nan...

2:24 pm

moolingwa

if it's the one I'm thinking of, it was tricky for some reason, I got the last part of it as one of my first words, then the one that extends mid-way, the m7 came very late

2:24 pm

hokie carla

ah, stupid word that looks like a plural. we've had it enough I should have seen it!

2:25 pm

hokie carla

some say cows cause a problem with it

2:26 pm

moolingwa

2:29 pm

moolingwa

2:29 pm

hokie carla

2:29 pm

moolingwa

5,6,7

2:30 pm

moolingwa

found the m, thought I'd typed that one before :)

2:30 pm

hokie carla

now 2 E7

2:31 pm

hokie carla

ha! with friends like these...

2:31 pm

moolingwa

oh, I think I have the h you're thinking of

2:32 pm

hokie carla

ok, then I have no guess

2:32 pm

moolingwa

you thinking of the hole in the bucket

2:32 pm

hokie carla

no

2:32 pm

moolingwa

oh

2:33 pm

moolingwa

then you have a guess :)

2:33 pm

hokie carla

but fits that same mold

2:35 pm

hokie carla

would love a clue for es7. only so many options so I think I know the 3rd and 4th letters.

2:36 pm

moolingwa

perhaps if you wanted to give a certain letter of the alphabet a reward, you might give it an es7

2:37 pm

hokie carla

don't think I've ever seen that, thanks

2:37 pm

moolingwa

np

2:37 pm

moolingwa

glad the clue worked

2:37 pm

hokie carla

not gonna lie, took me a sec. but it's already established I'm a moron, so...

2:38 pm

moolingwa

nah, the clues I give are intended to be like that

2:38 pm

moolingwa

otherwise I'd just spell it out :)

2:38 pm

hokie carla

I know, familiar with that :D

2:38 pm

moolingwa

many of my clues don't hit...too

2:39 pm

hokie carla

so, I have this song by Veruca Salt stuck in my head. it is in the grid but not accepted. seems like a legit word to me and I always try it.

2:39 pm

moolingwa

haven't heard that band's name for a while

2:40 pm

hokie carla

we should point out to Molly that yes, they are named after the character in Willy Wonka

2:41 pm

hokie carla

I hear the song occasionally on XM Lithium channel

2:41 pm

moolingwa

such a pleasant sounding name ;)

2:41 pm

hokie carla

lithium? yes, I assume they got it from Nirvana

2:42 pm

moolingwa

no, I mean Veruca Salt

2:42 pm

hokie carla

oh, yes, well she was a horrible character

2:42 pm

hokie carla

I mean I guess a good character but horrible person

2:42 pm

moolingwa

I saw Nirvana and Violent Femmes in a double bill once

2:43 pm

hokie carla

wow

2:43 pm

moolingwa

yeah, was an interesting crowd

2:44 pm

hokie carla

is your S from the 2nd? or top?

2:45 pm

moolingwa

second

2:46 pm

hokie carla

I think they're all root words and other forms of the root words except a few, so check your list

2:55 pm

moolingwa

no traction yet

2:57 pm

hokie carla

same with the M's, only a few standalones

2:58 pm

hokie carla

do you have what an english person might call one of the williams sisters?

3:34 pm

moolingwa

Sorry had to talk to someone in Charlotte :)

3:34 pm

moolingwa

I have an H and an S left

3:34 pm

moolingwa

and yes, have the s word

3:35 pm

hokie carla

ha! was not me.

3:35 pm

hokie carla

what was the M?

3:35 pm

moolingwa

oh, it was a more m word that I thought I had typed already

3:35 pm

hokie carla

you probably had

3:36 pm

moolingwa

I had the most, but not the more

3:38 pm

moolingwa

oh, found the h

3:38 pm

hokie carla

ha6?

3:38 pm

moolingwa

yeah

3:39 pm

hokie carla

that was what I thought

3:39 pm

hokie carla

so I think your last word has to be a comparative too

3:40 pm

moolingwa

I have the more peacful

3:40 pm

moolingwa

and I have the more serious

3:40 pm

hokie carla

oh, not a comparative but a one who does

3:42 pm

moolingwa

duh, I think I found that earlier and got distracted :)

3:42 pm

moolingwa

it is a bit curly

3:42 pm

hokie carla

:D, gotta get those priorities straight, work or babble

3:43 pm

hokie carla

yeah, I couldn't even figure it out just then when I was trying to make it. I must've just typed it because I knew all the letters were there.

3:47 pm

moolingwa

well, not a bad board

3:47 pm

moolingwa
