9:21 am

BzznBea

Our neighbor's father died last week. Funeral and repast on Saturday. She is expecting 100 people at her house...which is a two bedroom, one bath.

9:34 am

MollyL

Good Lord, that is a lot of people for such a small house

9:34 am

MollyL

And 100 people on one bathroom???

9:34 am

BzznBea

Hopefully it will be nice outside.

9:35 am

BzznBea

She is also hoping most will just take to go.

9:50 am

rururocks

sounds like a super spreader event

9:51 am

hokie carla

that's what I was thinking

9:51 am

zoozzoom

Same here but did not want to sound disrespectful.

9:52 am

rururocks

I'm nowhere near as polite as you zooz :D

9:52 am

BzznBea

Most certainly. But they have never followed covid guidelines before.

9:53 am

zoozzoom

Nah What I meant was if I tried to type it It would of come out sounding disrespectful. Not how you typed it, Ru :-)

9:54 am

rururocks

I meant that sincerely zooz.

9:57 am

MLFAN17

is mont still here?

9:57 am

BzznBea

Off I go... be back Saturday.

9:58 am

MLFAN17

bye bzz

10:01 am

MollyL

I just can't believe that someone with a house that small and one bathroom would invite 100 people to their home That is what church halls are for.

10:01 am

MLFAN17

im7 clue pls?

10:01 am

MLFAN17

i agree molly i wouldnt do it

10:05 am

dauber

ooh, found the 9!

10:10 am

rururocks

it's totally irresponsible I agree Molly

10:15 am

cybernan

good morning everyone :)

10:17 am

rururocks

hi nan.. good morning

10:19 am

rururocks

I have to admit that I'm enjoying watching the Royals in England scrambling for some kind of position on the Oprah interview

10:22 am

cybernan

we can't even have anything in the church hall, nm more than residents in our homes. Churches are still closed.

10:26 am

rururocks

having never gone to church that wouldn't bother me a bit

10:29 am

cybernan

must admit, I don't go anymore either. I always went, and served as s

10:30 am

cybernan

Served as Sunday School teacher, choir member and diretor, but it was being a board member and seeing all the infighting for control that turned me off.

10:30 am

MollyL

While I always enjoy seeing royals scramble, I don't know how I feel about Meghan Markle's side of this. She seems to enjoy the spotlight.

10:31 am

rururocks

yeah... there's a certain amount of getting even there I think but she didn't start this

10:36 am

cybernan

I have no doubt about her commitment to Harry and the British press treated her terribly. I also think that it took the royals a while to warm up to her and were constantly waiting for her to "muck up" when in truth she was a lot more dignified than Fergie or Andrew and certainly never spoke out of turn like Philip does. On the other hand, I think she was wearing rose coloured glasses going into it and discovered she didn't like the role. So fault on both sides and who knows which was the greater. Perceptions do differ. Does an offhand remark make a conversation, or is it hurtful enough to make it seem like a conversation?

10:39 am

rururocks

From what I can tell she was really well-recieved in the commonwealth around the world

10:40 am

origami

I didn't watch the whole interview, but I was appalled at what she said about being told that Archie would not have security.

10:41 am

moolingwa

morning all

10:41 am

cybernan

Yes, but the royals do live a very restricted life in their fishbowl. When they do try to escape to someone's private retreat for a holiday they are criticized for it

10:41 am

rururocks

private retreat like Epstein's Island you mean nan?

10:42 am

cybernan

Do the vice-president's great-grandchildren have security? Same thing.

10:43 am

hurshy

the thing i think is crazy is people acting as if it's Harry & Meghan vs the rest of the family, when it's a) the tabloids and b) the people who WORK for the monarchy (like those who wouldn't let the Queen grant Margaret permission to marry her first love because he was divorced) who are the villains here

10:45 am

rururocks

That's funny Ori .. I was appalled by the skin color thing

10:45 am

origami

Yes, that shocked me as well.

10:45 am

MollyL

Me I'm wondering how much they got paid for the Oprah interview.

10:45 am

cybernan

And the part about Archie not being a prince is a crock. Only the children of the heir to the throne and his/her children are princes or princesses.

10:45 am

hurshy

they did not get paid, Molly, that was stated up front at the start of the interview

10:45 am

rururocks

they didn't get paid a thing

10:46 am

cybernan

I don't think Harry is broke, Molly -- he inherited something like 35 million pounds from his mother.

10:46 am

hurshy

cnan, i believe what they meant by that was that there was an intention ahead of time NOT to make him a prince after the queen dies and Charles is In Charge

10:47 am

hurshy

i saw this morning that it was $13M

10:47 am

rururocks

actually about 10 million nan

10:47 am

hurshy

that he inherited

10:47 am

MollyL

So Oprah made 9 million dollars from CBS and those two got nothing?

10:47 am

rururocks

it's grown to 13 million with investments

10:47 am

hurshy

they got to tell their side of the story, that's what they wanted

10:47 am

origami

Nan - if something were to happen to William, couldn't Archie be in line for the throne?

10:48 am

rururocks

no. Charles is first ori

10:48 am

hurshy

archie wouldn't be very soon, no, first would be George, Charlotte, and Louis, after Charles

10:49 am

origami

The line of succession is a mystery to me. But, I meant after Charles is gone.

10:50 am

hurshy

you have to exhaust the eldest child's offspring before you move to siblings and their offspring, ori

10:50 am

rururocks

what if Archie married a Veronica?

10:50 am

hurshy

hahahahaha

10:51 am

origami

Ah, that is obvious, hursh. I somehow forgot about them.

10:51 am

hurshy

they're so darn cute, how could you forget about them?! lol

10:52 am

cybernan

succession goes through the line of the eldest child, ori. So when an eldest child marries and has children, those children come before any siblings.

10:53 am

hurshy

unless the siblings stage a coup

10:53 am

hurshy

lol

10:53 am

hurshy

i think we're done with that period of history tho

10:54 am

cybernan

At least in Britain --- not so sure about Saudi Arabia.

10:54 am

hurshy

indeed

10:55 am

hurshy

anyone have any tips about what my missing P might be? i have four 7s, two of which surprised me that i remembered them and one of which surprised me that it worked when i tried it

10:56 am

cybernan

only have half of them and only one p 7

10:57 am

moolingwa

have 11 of the Ps and 2 7s

10:57 am

hurshy

happy to offer clues if desired

10:58 am

penquis

do you have pi 7/32?....that's an odd one....

10:58 am

moolingwa

three 7s

10:58 am

hurshy

yes pen, and there are two of those, alt sp of each other

10:58 am

cybernan

just found 2 more pi 7's that are similar

10:58 am

hurshy

well, there are three 7/32, but the other one is the one that is more findable

10:59 am

penquis

yes, have those....yours is probably one of the 3 Ps I am missing....

10:59 am

cybernan

looking for the 4th one then

10:59 am

hurshy

the fourth is ph7, not pi

11:00 am

cybernan

only have ph 4 x2

11:00 am

penquis

yes, found that one....

11:00 am

hurshy

there are 3 ph4 that i have

11:01 am

hurshy

Es Eliminated!

11:02 am

MollyL

Oh, Betty would be mad if Archie married Veronica.

11:02 am

cybernan

lol

11:03 am

MollyL

God, Archie really did marry Veronica. I had no idea they took that comic book series into the future.

11:03 am

MollyL

I guess Betty got stuck with Reggie or Moose.

11:04 am

cybernan

they must have grandchildren by now

11:04 am

rururocks

betty married jughead

11:05 am

MollyL

Man, Betty really got the raw deal.

11:06 am

hurshy

Cs Conquered! and bottom row grey!

11:06 am

rururocks

not really he had big feet :D

11:09 am

MollyL

I wonder whatever became of Miss Grundy and Mr. Weatherbee?

11:09 am

Alleyn58

There seems to be no British input to the Harry and Megham interview. From where most of us are sitting she intended this all along. Archie would receive a Prince title only when Charles reaches the throne.

11:10 am

hokie carla

came in and just saw ru's comment and thought he was talking about squatch in the grid

11:10 am

MollyL

Carla is really pushing that squatch thing today.

11:11 am

hokie carla

if you ever saw Finding Bigfoot you would get it ;)

11:12 am

MollyL

Oh dear, I seem to have missed that award-winning show

11:12 am

cybernan

not for the last several years, I don't think, Alleyn. It was changed several years ago so that only children of the Prince of Wales get the title. Too many princes and princesses running around, I think.

11:13 am

hokie carla

I used to like to watch for pure entertainment value of the comments some of them would make, like "well, we know bigfoots like candy bars." Do we?

11:13 am

Alleyn58

Not convinced but he is already the Earl of Dunbarton - I think

11:14 am

hokie carla

I think a lot of us americans don't care about the royal family and their antiquated traditions

11:15 am

Alleyn58

That is totally right but we have been saved from a President such as Trump!!

11:17 am

hokie carla

I think a lot of us americans don't care about Trump ;P

11:18 am

MollyL

I agree, many Americans don't care about Trump. People in other countries seem to though.

11:19 am

hokie carla

I mean, I care about how awful he is but don't follow his and his family's every move

11:19 am

cybernan

only to the extent that he still has a great deal of support for his brand of tyranny.

11:19 am

rururocks

he's currently doing a great job of splitting the republican party

11:20 am

cybernan

good -- hope that keeps up!

11:21 am

hurshy

i recently saw an article about Lindsay Graham admitting that Trump has a dark side but wanting to try to harness his magic and use its power anyway, and i was like, geez, Lord of the Rings needs to be required reading in school apparently.

11:22 am

rururocks

i think Graham is going to have trouble winning reelection next round

11:24 am

hokie carla

I think like most politicians, he is all about himself (graham)

11:26 am

rururocks

he's slimier than old turkey neck McConnell

11:26 am

MollyL

For as long as there have been people there have been the far right and the far left and the rest of us in between.

11:27 am

hokie carla

ok, if I could just find 7(!) M's, I could gray out 1st col. 'tis a mystery. (see what I did there)

11:28 am

rururocks

it's very hard to be in the middle right now too

11:29 am

hokie carla

yep, esp when members of your family are far one side

11:29 am

11:30 am

hokie carla

again, enable. ugh. thx, zooz

11:31 am

rururocks

blow off a little steam willya zooz?

11:31 am

dauber

Heh...my wife is teaching from home (apparently there's a virus going around or something), and I'm hearing her walk her students through filling out 1040s and other tax forms. (HS) So if any of her students later in life complain about, say, not learning real-world stuff but learning the Pythagorean theorem, they're full of $#!+!

11:32 am

hokie carla

what class is that?

11:32 am

dauber

It's called "seminar." Its whole focus is to take kids through the "real world," as it were. She teaches freshmen and seniors.

11:32 am

hokie carla

nice

11:34 am

dauber

BTW, any hints on the pi8? :)\

11:34 am

hokie carla

I think there is something wrong with the T on my keyboard. it keeps not appearing some times and then appearing randomly other times.

11:34 am

dauber

I thought it was a Billy Joel song but apparently not.

11:34 am

bichon

ty zooz

11:34 am

dauber

(Oh, wait...there's no reason it SHOULD be a Billy Joel song...the letters are too far apart!)

11:35 am

KnightTime

@hokie ha s errible

11:35 am

hokie carla

it is, because I keep feeling the need to correct postts but I'm going to stop doing it

11:35 am

zoozzoom

Pi 8 is a pyramid shaped tree.

11:35 am

hurshy

i know graham is all about himself, my point is, there are simple life lessons in great stories, like the fact that you cannot hope to harness a chaotic evil magic without being swept up and becoming an agent of evil yourself. Galadriel passed the test. this is a moral lesson that was available for Graham to learn by reading or watching, and he obviously hasn't.

11:36 am

hokie carla

maybe I should get a new computer for my birthday

11:36 am

hokie carla

I'm sure they were considered evil and banned in SC when he was younger, hurshy

11:37 am

hokie carla

hmm, a pyramid shaped tree

11:37 am

MollyL

pi8 starts like what you use to stick the tail on the donkey and ends with what Jeannie called Tony Nelson MINUS THE M

11:38 am

hurshy

you mean 7, right Molly?

11:38 am

MollyL

No, I mean 8

11:38 am

hurshy

nevermind, sorry

11:38 am

*bops self on head*

11:39 am

hokie carla

good clue, but when I tried it first, the T didn't take. LOL

11:39 am

hurshy

top row grey! Ps Pickled!

11:39 am

MollyL

and...... here comes lunch. happy babbling everyone.

7:29 pm

8:00 pm

Dorens

melatonin just doesn't work for me either, hursh

8:02 pm

hokie carla

it does for me some, but I'm about to start allergy meds which it doesn't matter which brand I take, it makes me drowsy.

8:03 pm

Dorens

once in a while i take ambien and can sleep for six hours straight. it's like a miracle. But I don't want to be dependent, so do it rarely.

8:05 pm

hokie carla

so, I still have 15 words left.

8:06 pm

8:07 pm

I usually stay asleep all night, it's falling asleep initially that I can't do

8:08 pm

dcseain

I'm always slow to fall asleep, but sleep well, even if i wake to use the bathroom or get some water.

8:08 pm

akazev

To Hokie Carla Be careful with allergy meds. They are connected with dementia and alzheimers risk. They are anti-cholionergic drugs. Look up benadryl and dementia and you will see the research. The only safe allergy drug is Allegra accrodeing to my allergist. Good luck

8:08 pm

akazev

Actually, any med that causes drowsiness, including anti-delpressants work this way and are suspect, especially for those over 50

8:10 pm

hokie carla

yes, I heard about Benedryl last year or so. I usually do zyrtec but have tried this xysal or however it's spelled.

8:11 pm

hokie carla

everything makes me drowsy, even stuff that isn't supposed to. I have taken Allegra but it's been a while. pretty sure it made me drowsy too.

don't be surprised if you feel quite emotional - I was quite taken aback by the emotions I felt - the RELIEF

8:40 pm

dcseain

It was such a relief.

8:41 pm

HarryHood

I'm just happy not to have to wake up at 4:30 anymore to spend 2 hours hitting refresh on my browser

8:41 pm

Trifioso

too right

8:41 pm

dcseain

amen to that, Harry!

8:42 pm

HarryHood

the cat was the most perturbed by that - the fact that I was sitting downtairs and NOT feeding him! the nerve!

8:42 pm

Trifioso

seriously, where are you priorities?

8:43 pm

HarryHood

he's going to get fed an hour early on Sunday morning anyway - he lives all year for the clocks changing in the spring

8:44 pm

dcseain

LOL

8:44 pm

72 Temple Owl

pls, the first te is driving me mad...

8:44 pm

Trifioso

god help us all - full moon, clocks changing, etc.

8:45 pm

dcseain

i feed mine randomly. I even remember to keep the kibble mostly filled for between gushy food feedings.

8:45 pm

dcseain

mostly remember that is.

8:45 pm

8:45 pm

HarryHood

8:45 pm

hokie carla

I thought the J&J supposedly had less side effects?

8:46 pm

Trifioso

i had heard that as well, hokie, but if my coworkers are anything to go by, no sir!

8:46 pm

hokie carla

like what, flu symptoms?

8:47 pm

HarryHood

I was thinking the JJ would be more effective against variants since it's more of a traditional vaccine

8:47 pm

hokie carla

my oldest got the pfizer today. he said he can barely lift his arm

8:47 pm

Trifioso

yes, severe headaches, fevers, feeling loopy

8:48 pm

dcseain

i had headaches, sever fatigue, dehydration for two days after my first shot. We're preordering three days of dinner the day before we go for the second one.

8:48 pm

dcseain

but the saturday after, mi lungs were clear, more energy than in most of a year.

8:48 pm

Trifioso

my arm was sore after the moderna, for sure, but not debilitating

8:48 pm

dcseain

i had no soreness. but the dose was only 0.3 ml

8:49 pm

HarryHood

So you're saying I should get Monday's grid done in the morning, huh

8:49 pm

dcseain

thanks for both T words at the bottom

8:50 pm

dcseain

8:50 pm

HarryHood

9:01 pm

hokie carla

9:09 pm

moolingwa

night HH

9:09 pm

hokie carla

good night harry

9:10 pm

hokie carla

I'm assuming the c8 is cr. is this a compound word? regular word that regular people would know?

9:11 pm

moolingwa

no, sounds like a verb of a shorter word in the grid

9:11 pm

hokie carla

somehow monkeyed it

9:12 pm

hokie carla

now what are those 2 Q's?

9:12 pm

moolingwa

probably a q7

9:12 pm

moolingwa

and maybe a q6

9:12 pm

moolingwa

at least those were my last two Qs

9:13 pm

hokie carla

do they go together?

9:13 pm

moolingwa

no, standalone words

9:13 pm

moolingwa

although the 7 is kind of related to the most common beginning

9:13 pm

hokie carla

I have a standalone q6

9:14 pm

moolingwa

have the q4?

9:15 pm

hokie carla

now I have song from grease stuck in my head. "we go together like ramma ....."

9:15 pm

hokie carla

yes

9:15 pm

moolingwa

then I'd check plurals and alternate spelling

9:15 pm

moolingwa

or to suppress if you don't have that one

9:16 pm

hokie carla

I have that one

9:16 pm

hokie carla

just got a 6 that is almost 4

9:17 pm

moolingwa

9:18 pm

hokie carla

9:18 pm

moolingwa

9:19 pm

hokie carla

ok, thx

9:21 pm

moolingwa

not finding anything here

9:21 pm

hokie carla

about to move on from the Q, but I expect to find nothing

9:22 pm

moolingwa

really would like to find these 4s at least

9:23 pm

hokie carla

one of my last 2 was easy, can't rem. the other one.

9:32 pm

hokie carla

broke down and went to the list and still have 5

9:33 pm

moolingwa

9:33 pm

moolingwa

9:34 pm

moolingwa

was about to guess that

9:34 pm

9:37 pm

hokie carla

9:37 pm

moolingwa

9:38 pm

hokie carla

9:38 pm

moolingwa

no, just one

9:38 pm

moolingwa

9:40 pm

hokie carla

oh, there's a mammal I should've gotten

9:40 pm

moolingwa

9:41 pm

hokie carla

9:41 pm

hokie carla

hmm, my S's appeared to be a set but found one and I don't think so

9:42 pm

moolingwa

I don't have any sets on S

9:43 pm

hokie carla

last one was s6 that we've had several times but no def here or on merriam webster. but I am finished!

9:43 pm

moolingwa

nice

9:44 pm

hokie carla

at least I didn't have to actually look any up, but it was close. this is one of the harder ones lately IMO

9:44 pm

hokie carla

did you finish the M?

9:45 pm

moolingwa

no

9:46 pm

hokie carla

nothing stands out that you haven't already clued for someone else

9:46 pm

moolingwa

having trouble finding anything :)

9:47 pm

hokie carla

well I'll be glad to make guesses if you want

9:48 pm

9:54 pm

hokie carla

there's a pl that looks kinda weird

9:55 pm

hokie carla

the rest are regulars here, though not all everyday words

9:56 pm

moolingwa

what's the second letter?

9:56 pm

hokie carla

N

9:57 pm

hokie carla

maybe you're missing the singular too, since you need 2

9:57 pm

hokie carla

not sure why that took me so long to put together

9:57 pm

moolingwa

the 4/5?

9:57 pm

hokie carla

6/7

9:57 pm

moolingwa

tx

10:00 pm

moolingwa

still haven't found the m mammal

10:01 pm

hokie carla

oh yeah, I thought when you asked M that meant you had it. you might have seen one when you lived in a certain hot southern state.

10:03 pm

hokie carla

you might've thought it was a mermaid though

10:03 pm

moolingwa

so at my wedding

10:03 pm

moolingwa

we gave everyone 7 scrabble tiles

10:03 pm

moolingwa

I had worked out a way to take a whole scrabble set, minus the two blanks, and create 14 seven letter words

10:04 pm

moolingwa

that was one of the sets...although it was the only one you could make two words out of

10:05 pm

hokie carla

you made people play games at your wedding? cool.

10:05 pm

moolingwa

our wedding cake was a boggle board...made of individual cakes with letters on it

10:05 pm

moolingwa

perhaps sharing too much :)

10:05 pm

moolingwa
