(locks up fish box so matty can't slap herself)

10:33 am

(tugs at fish box lid, fruitlessly)

10:33 am

Why Matty? I have never heard of the dog

rururocks

locked

10:34 am

rururocks

(swallows key)

10:34 am

mattygroves

Nah - but I had the he4 and the he5 - the six should have followed

10:35 am

mattygroves

Top tip in grids like this - try the more than (or person who does) ending on EVERYTHING

10:35 am

Jeanius421

I have one of those dogs, a red He6

10:35 am

mattygroves

(sneaks syrup of ipecac in Ru's drink)

10:36 am

I have the te4 and the te5 but there is no te6

Ah, but nearly always worth trying ;)

Jeanius421

te6/18

10:37 am

MollyL

This whole addiction to fish slapping of Matty's is much worse than I thought

10:37 am

MollyL

I meant there is no te6 in the same progression as the he6

4:59 pm

hokie carla

a flirt, peri. usually see and -ish adj.

4:59 pm

grannyrose

could also be someone who flirts

5:00 pm

grannyrose

lol... snap carla

5:00 pm

moolingwa

51 to go, too many work distractions today :)

5:01 pm

grannyrose

morning moolingwa. well here it is. cold and wet. expecting big thunder storm sometime.

5:02 pm

hokie carla

I guess technically it's a verb, to flirt

5:02 pm

moolingwa

Melbourne?

5:02 pm

hokie carla

we had a big thunderstorm night before last!

5:02 pm

grannyrose

lol... good guess

5:02 pm

moolingwa

only ever been in the airport there

5:02 pm

moolingwa

though my cousin lived there some

5:02 pm

hokie carla

supposedly if it thunders in winter it will snow 9 days later, so we'll see.

5:03 pm

hokie carla

I will let y'all know if it does here ;)

5:03 pm

grannyrose

peri, the co6 you need uses the high point tile, and it twists back on itself.

5:03 pm

moolingwa

I had a trip from Brisbane to Perth some years back...went via Adelaide the way there, and then back through Melbourne and Sydney on the way back

5:04 pm

hokie carla

would love to visit, but more places I probably won't ever get to

5:04 pm

grannyrose

did you take the red eye from Perth to Melbourne?

5:04 pm

moolingwa

yeah, not by intention tho

5:04 pm

moolingwa

my plane was delayed 6 hours or so in Perth

5:05 pm

grannyrose

you should try it six weeks pregnant and needing more than my fair share of emesis bags.

5:06 pm

moolingwa

44 to go, and 8 of them are 4

5:06 pm

moolingwa

sounds delightful

5:06 pm

periwinkle

ty rose and carla

5:06 pm

grannyrose

loll.... just read my post and thought, now that would be an interesting thing to see.

5:07 pm

grannyrose

yw peri

5:07 pm

hokie carla

I guess emesis bags is a much fancier way of saying barf bags?

5:08 pm

moolingwa

ooh, found the 9

5:08 pm

hokie carla

but it loses something without the alliteration

5:08 pm

grannyrose

*giggle* yup. that's what we call them in my ex-trade.

5:08 pm

moolingwa

yeah, vomit vessels, chuck chalices

5:09 pm

moolingwa

regurgitation receptacles

5:09 pm

hokie carla

close to needing the PB there :D

5:10 pm

moolingwa

I dare say there are as many words for throw-up in english as there is for snow in some inuit languages

5:10 pm

moolingwa

already had it if that's what you mean :)

5:11 pm

hokie carla

hurl holders

5:11 pm

grannyrose

i recall a story of Barrie Humphreys on a plane trip. anyone here care to hear it. BH was/is an Australian comedian. his other persona is Dame Edna Eveage among a few others.

5:11 pm

moolingwa

sure

5:11 pm

hokie carla

I have heard of Dame Edna

5:12 pm

moolingwa

I'm impressed hoke

5:13 pm

grannyrose

well BH was on a plane trip and decided to liven things up. he quietly tipped a can of hearty vegetable soup into daid bag, the started to eat it with a spoon.

5:13 pm

moolingwa

erk

5:14 pm

hokie carla

yuckity yuck

5:14 pm

grannyrose

anyone not already feeling ill promptly started throwing up. he was asked never to fly with that airline again..loll

5:14 pm

moolingwa

I was once in New Jersey, and I saw several overtan individuals

5:15 pm

hokie carla

haha, granny

5:16 pm

hokie carla

there are also overtan people in FL, alas, not the ov word I struggled with.

5:16 pm

moolingwa

yes only too appropriate :)

5:17 pm

grannyrose

another of his characters was Sir Les Patterson.prone to disgusting habits like drooling down the front of his suit.

5:17 pm

moolingwa

I suspect there are a number of gamblers who regret their overante

5:17 pm

moolingwa

oh yes, I'd forgotten sir les..

5:20 pm

moolingwa

that Q really messes up a lot of words

5:21 pm

grannyrose

i struggled with this grid. so many phantoms. like eclectic.

5:22 pm

moolingwa

yeah there are a lot of -lect- phantoms

5:25 pm

grannyrose

time for me to go and see if i can make myself at least look like a human being. had bad night. xx maybe see you at the flip.

5:25 pm

moolingwa

later rose, enjoy your morning

5:27 pm

moolingwa

well I have ten 7s and the 9, but no 8s yet....sounds good

5:28 pm

moolingwa

nm, found an 8

5:28 pm

hokie carla

bye, have a good day!

5:28 pm

hokie carla

I think I found 3 8's on my own and then struggled with the last one on the list

5:29 pm

moolingwa

yeah, I still have 9 Rs to go, suspect there might be some in there

5:29 pm

moolingwa

always a bit hit and miss on re words

5:29 pm

hokie carla

don't put all your eggs in one basket

5:30 pm

moolingwa

I'll bare that in mind :)

5:30 pm

moolingwa

still 30 to go over all

5:30 pm

hokie carla

which 8 did you find? btw, I accidentally saw the 9 clued but had been trying stuff all around it.

5:30 pm

moolingwa

I got an r8

5:31 pm

moolingwa

had the related word earlier

5:31 pm

moolingwa

surprised at how many I have in the bottom left R and T left

5:31 pm

moolingwa

5 off the r, and 4 off the t

5:31 pm

hokie carla

ok, I did get another 8 from the list, got lucky on the 3rd

5:32 pm

moolingwa

avoided clues so far today

5:32 pm

hokie carla

so basically only 1 8 was a real word to me

5:32 pm

moolingwa

lol

5:33 pm

moolingwa

Ax2, Cx4, Ex1, Gx2, Hx1, Lx1, Px4, Rx9, Tx5 left

5:34 pm

hokie carla

I thought you were finished with the G earlier when you were guessing mine

5:35 pm

moolingwa

no...think I had 5 left then

5:35 pm

hokie carla

the T's were trouble today

5:35 pm

moolingwa

terribly so

5:35 pm

hokie carla

well my last G was a real word, so I should've gotten it

5:35 pm

moolingwa

particularly the bottom left

5:36 pm

moolingwa

I have one also left on the right top

5:37 pm

hokie carla

pretty sure you should get the H

5:38 pm

hokie carla

I can have a pretty good guess on the L

5:38 pm

moolingwa

yeah, have been concentrating on the T, probably should branch out a bit

5:38 pm

moolingwa

found the L...had the related word already

5:39 pm

hokie carla

yep

5:39 pm

moolingwa

closed out the H

5:39 pm

moolingwa

likewise on that one

5:39 pm

hokie carla

I should hope so

5:39 pm

moolingwa

closed out the g, relatively easy pair

5:39 pm

hokie carla

the P's were a pain. I know what 2 are but can't really guess the other 2.

5:40 pm

moolingwa

had the rhyming ones already

5:40 pm

hokie carla

my G was the most

5:40 pm

moolingwa

so...25 to go

5:40 pm

moolingwa

3x4, 4x5, 10x6, 6x7 and 2x8

5:40 pm

moolingwa

found an r

5:42 pm

moolingwa

found a pair of c's

5:42 pm

hokie carla

oh, you still have a lot of R's. from all R tiles?

5:42 pm

moolingwa

5 R's off the bottom left, 3 Rs off the right middle

5:42 pm

hokie carla

the AU/NZ c's tripped me up

5:43 pm

moolingwa

22 left, 8 of them r's

5:43 pm

hokie carla

I'm sure that's surprising

5:43 pm

moolingwa

found another r

5:44 pm

moolingwa

and another one

5:45 pm

moolingwa

final 20 - Ax2, Cx2, Ex1, Px4, Rx6 and Tx5

5:46 pm

hokie carla

I can guess one A

5:48 pm

hokie carla

C's could be anything. E could be an easy one (a particular one I'm thinking of) or one I've never seen. R's and T's are just ridic.

5:48 pm

moolingwa

it's the bottom e

5:48 pm

hokie carla

ok, neither of my guesses

5:49 pm

moolingwa

c's are from the middle

5:49 pm

hokie carla

bottom e's are all easy

5:50 pm

moolingwa

it was your fave that I was missing

5:52 pm

hokie carla

food?

5:52 pm

moolingwa

no, that italian one

5:53 pm

hokie carla

does that mean the reverse was one of your missing a's?

5:53 pm

moolingwa

no, I had that one :)

5:54 pm

moolingwa

shame on me

5:54 pm

moolingwa

found another r

5:57 pm

moolingwa

oh, an easy c I thought I had

5:57 pm

hokie carla

rad

5:57 pm

hokie carla

cool

5:58 pm

moolingwa

I see what you did there

5:58 pm

hokie carla

:D

6:02 pm

moolingwa

well, I'm turning into a pumpkin

6:02 pm

moolingwa

17 to go, but life awaits

6:03 pm

moolingwa

maybe a couple more mins

6:05 pm

hokie carla

just put a pork tenderloin in the instant pot here

6:05 pm

moolingwa

ooh, sounds good

6:05 pm

moolingwa

do you add anything other than water?

6:05 pm

hokie carla

I use this recipe I found online if you want me to put it here.

6:06 pm

moolingwa

have you tried it before?

6:06 pm

moolingwa

I usually do the same, look online, pick a recipe and adjust to my taste

6:06 pm

hokie carla

yes, have made it a few times. they seem to love it. https://tinyurl.com/y6gskngn

6:07 pm

moolingwa

tx, might try it out

6:08 pm

hokie carla

I don't put the worcestershire or liquid smoke in because we never have any on hand, but usually sub in a teriyaki marinade. tonight I used Allegro marinade.

6:12 pm

moolingwa

well got to go, have a great night

6:13 pm
