Is it my imagination or is this a particularly hard grid?
1:02 am
Lizlin
I think it's pretty tough. I'm finding more now I'm using Lickety. And hi, Joy and everyone
1:03 am
joym999
I have a rule that I can't use Lickety's list until I have 2/3 of the words. I'm nowhere near that.
1:04 am
Lizlin
I was down to 30 left before I went to Lickety. I now have 14 but will probably leave them until tomorrow.
1:05 am
Lizlin
Have a good day / evening everyone and good luck with the grid.

8:16 am
hokie carla

8:16 am
sukee
Yes, they got rid of their problem, we still have the lite-T in Ontario.
8:17 am
BzznBea
What is lite-
8:17 am
sukee
Your former president is T
8:18 am
hokie carla
I thought this was some kind of coded convo for a second
8:18 am
sukee
He admired your former guy.
8:18 am
BzznBea
He is still a problem.
8:18 am
sukee
I don't want to say his name
8:18 am
HarryHood
well our mass transit is called the T, so I thought she was talking about light rail :)
8:19 am
rururocks
except in T's case.. he's off the rails
8:19 am
sukee
At least he can't influence the vaccination program
8:19 am
hokie carla
I thought it was some new variant or something
8:20 am
HarryHood
40 to go!
8:20 am
sukee
Of course, and we also have a lot of idiot anti-maskers and people refusing to get the vaccine.
8:20 am
HarryHood
still no 8s or 9s :)
8:20 am
sukee
I don't even have an 7s

Well, well, one of the grown Duggar kids is a child porn freak.
8:25 am

Same guy who molested his sister...
8:25 am
hokie carla
isn't that old news or it's a different one?
8:25 am
rururocks
he's in big trouble this time
8:26 am
sukee
They can't argue that one away.
8:26 am
rururocks
the agent that went through his "work" computer said it was some of the most horrible images he's ever seen
8:27 am
BzznBea
What "work" does he do?
8:27 am
sukee
That is what happens when you protect a molester, saying he was just a kid...
8:27 am
rururocks
like selling cars or something
8:27 am
MollyL
I always had a bad feeling about that family and the strange way they lived.
8:27 am
Shirlockc
i worry about those agents, those are images you cannot unsee
8:27 am
rururocks
me too molly.. they're all sick puppies
8:28 am
mael
this is what happens when you enable a life reliant on the subjugation of women and children, too
8:28 am
rururocks
I agree with that too mael.. good point
8:28 am
BzznBea
I've never been able to figure out "Sister Wives" either.
8:29 am
hokie carla
mr. homie always hated that show and that they were glorifying having a million kids. He is one of 11 kids and said the parents aren't doing anything, the older kids are raising the younger ones.
8:30 am
HarryHood
your husband is one of 11?
8:30 am
rururocks
does his mother still walk?
8:30 am
HarryHood
holy cow. how many first cousins do your kids have?
8:32 am
MollyL
I can't imagine being pregnant 11 times
8:32 am
hokie carla
not a lot surprisingly. there are only 15 grandkids, I think, incl. my 2.
8:32 am
HarryHood
me neither molly. otoh I can't imagine giving birth once.
8:32 am
MollyL
Kids from big families usually do not want big families themselves
8:33 am
hokie carla
exactly
8:33 am
HarryHood
interesting
8:33 am
hokie carla
have never met the oldest's 2 kids or the youngest's 2 kids
8:34 am
BzznBea
My MIL was the second daughter in a large family. She had to help raise all the younger ones. By the time she got married, she had no desire to have children.
8:34 am
HarryHood
my mothers mother was one of 9 and her father one of 8. so she had tons and tons of cousins.
8:35 am
hokie carla
the oldest girl was telling us once how she was in 5th grade and the parents went out of town and she had to take care of like 3 kids in diapers.
8:35 am
HarryHood
what's the age span?
8:36 am
hokie carla
she is 4 years older than mr. homie. there is about a 20 year span between oldest and youngest.
8:36 am
rururocks
I'm actually going to see my mother for the first time since 1986 next week... at a funeral service for my brother. I plan to keep my distance from her though
8:36 am

8:37 am
zoozzoom

I'm thinking about carrying a cattle prod zooz
8:39 am
HarryHood
class in 8 minutes. bye
8:41 am
MollyL
Oh great, now I have this mental image of Ru at a funeral with a cattle prod : D
8:42 am
MollyL
That would give the Chuckles The Clown funeral a run for its money. (All those too young to remember The Mary Tyler Moore Show are excused from understanding this)
8:51 am
Uneaixoise
I well remember Chuckles the Clown!

9:57 am
cybernan

9:58 am
MLFAN17
not that i am aware of cyber
9:58 am
MLFAN17
we add white rice or sometimes noodles to it
9:59 am
cybernan
just couldn't figure out why you would ask that out of the blue
9:59 am
MLFAN17
ask what?
10:02 am
MLFAN17
that is what molly said 9:24
10:02 am
MLFAN17

10:03 am
HarryHood
this is the most bizarre conversation I've seen here
10:04 am
MLFAN17
oh i am sure their has been worse harry lol
10:04 am
MLFAN17
earlier they were talking about the Duggars
10:05 am
HarryHood
yes but meatballs always adds an element of weirdness to any conversation. Duggars might be disturbing, but a different kind of weird
10:05 am
MLFAN17
this is true
10:06 am
MLFAN17
yeah i suppose if the meatballs subject was more about the movie would that be better?lol
10:06 am
