Shirlockc

11:38 am

MLFAN17

11:38 am

hurshy

11:49 am

Well, it seems there is some debate about the gambling capital of Europe

11:50 am

cybernan

gold star for matty

11:51 am

cybernan

monte carlo is the name of the casino in monaco

11:51 am

hurshy

i keep wanting things that end with -ct

11:51 am

joym999

monte carlo is the city; monaco is the country.

11:51 am

cybernan

yes - I made contact with that phantom too :)

11:52 am

joym999

and the casino is tiny

11:53 am

joym999

I was there years ago. There was a store next to the casino with children's clothes for rich people. There was a baby-sized mink coat in the window.

11:54 am

cybernan

I don't think MonteCarlo is a city -- it is a district in the principality where the casino and administrative offices are located. The primcipality is, in reality, just a big city

11:55 am

joym999

I looked it up and Nan is right "Monte-Carlo, resort, one of the four quartiers (sections) of Monaco. "

11:57 am

cybernan

We didn't go to the casino, but we did go to the palace

11:57 am

joym999

weird place

11:58 am

Shirlockc

baby mink coat ... poor mink

11:58 am

cybernan

* waved at the casino as we drove by :)

12:02 pm

joym999

Yeh, killing animals for their fur is something that should have gone out of fashion several hundred years ago. We've got lots of other stuff to keep us warm now.

12:02 pm

cybernan

isn't a castle with no trench around it un 8?

12:03 pm

joym999

definitely, nan. I'm having little luck with that UN.

12:04 pm

Shirlockc

uncat = when you disturb your sleeping furbaby

12:05 pm

cybernan

have the un 4 and a un 5, but not finding the last one

12:05 pm

Shirlockc

uncoat = what happened to that poor mink (see joym999's comments 11.53)

12:07 pm

hurshy

name that proper noun! the big baddie of Lord of the Rings

12:08 pm

joym999

12:09 pm

cybernan

oh, right

12:09 pm

joym999

phantom nachos are making me hungry

12:09 pm

hurshy

you can also spell it carcase, as in the Dorothy Sayers mystery "Have His Carcase"

12:10 pm

cybernan

obviously time for me to take a break -- back for the last 97 later

12:10 pm

Shirlockc

v. slow grid for me too, will be back later

12:12 pm

joym999

Why are words that start with vowels so much harder to find?

12:13 pm

worzel

can i have a clue for the bottom 2nd column t pls?

12:13 pm

moolingwa

I expect it's a expectation of our own intellects

12:13 pm

hurshy

te6 something you get a shot to prevent if you step on a rusty nail

12:13 pm

Shirlockc

the lone t is lockjaw-ish

12:13 pm

moolingwa

that is to say, we expect words to start with consonants :)

12:14 pm

12:14 pm

dcseain

A truck struck a pedestrian bridge on DC 295 causing it to collapse.

12:15 pm

hurshy

oh dear that sounds bad

12:16 pm

joym999

yikes. anyone hurt?

12:20 pm

BzznBea

Taking a break from tasks...82 left...

12:21 pm

hurshy

online news reports some people injured, but no deaths, so that's good

12:21 pm

MollyL

Not as bad as it sounds. Luckily no one was killed and injuries are minimal.

12:22 pm

joym999

phew

12:22 pm

MollyL

My news reports say the bridge collapsed, not that it was struck by a truck

12:24 pm

MollyL

Bridges that collapse give me the eebie-geebies

12:24 pm

BzznBea

That's why we need to invest more in our infastructure.

12:25 pm

hurshy

yeah i used to sometimes walk across a pedestrian bridge in san jose and it was so scary. i couldn't convince my brain that the cars hurtling towards me were not going to hit me, they were just going to go under me

12:25 pm

MLFAN17

et6 clue pls?

12:26 pm

BzznBea

et + sometimes vowel + first letters of cash

And hand to God, I wouldn't live in New York City if you paid me. That is too much steel and rebar on a tiny little island. It's all going to cave in one day.

12:28 pm

hokie carla

rehi. lunch break.

12:29 pm

BzznBea

Hello, CArla.

12:31 pm

hokie carla

this grid is not going well. maybe I've taken too many breaks.

12:31 pm

joym999

Manhattan is an island. NYC is not an island.

12:32 pm

joym999

I know that's nitpicky, but I'm from NYC and it drives me crazy when people assume that NYC is only Manhattan. Of course movies and media reinforce that perception constantly, so I guess it's not surprising.

12:33 pm

hokie carla

well the boroughs are a mystery to some of us. is it a city in a city?

12:33 pm

BzznBea

It's not the breaks, Carla. Its the grid

12:33 pm

hokie carla

thanks, bea. good to know it's not just me.

12:36 pm

joym999

each of the boroughs except Staten Island has a larger population than most other U.S. cities. Each has around 2 million. So yeh, Manhattan is really a city within a city.

12:38 pm

mrloser

% boroughs were all separate towns in 17-1800's. Brooklyn and Queens are actually the the western part of Long Island, Manhattan and Staten Island are both islands and the Bronx is the only borough attached to the mainland. I grew up in Brooklyn and we always called manhattan the city.

12:39 pm

joym999

Me too. I grew up in the Bronx and Queens, and when we got on the subway to go to Manhattan we were "going into the city."

12:40 pm

hokie carla

we used to say we were "going to town" when we went to the city next to us (pop.50k)ðŸ˜

12:41 pm

joym999

Name the Mexican resort city in the grid for 10 points.

12:41 pm

joym999

**plays Jeopardy music**

12:41 pm

hokie carla

cancun

12:42 pm

joym999

10 points for hokie carla!

12:42 pm

mrloser

Back in the 70's, there were signs on the exits from the bridges and/or tunnels into Brooklyn stating that it was the 4th largest city in the U.S. at that time with over 4.4 million people. I believe that has been down graded to approx 3.3 lately. Taxes, rents, housing, travel all are unbelievably expensive so many have left.

12:43 pm

hokie carla

i think it's funny when New Yorkers think all of America should know everything about how NYC works.

12:43 pm

mrloser

caco

12:43 pm

mrloser

courf

12:43 pm

mrloser

oops , sorry

12:44 pm

mrloser

There was a question about Manhattan earlier hokie

12:44 pm

joym999

We just want you to know that Manhattan is only part of NYC, and that most NYC residents do NOT live there. Plus, we want someone to make a movie in Brooklyn or the Bronx or Queens sometimes.

12:45 pm

hokie carla

they made a movie in my neighborhood a few years ago. Paper Towns. still haven't seen it.

12:47 pm

joym999

I'm having a really hard time with the 3rd row C. Everytime I find a word it turns out to belong to the 2nd row C.

12:47 pm

hokie carla

yeah, not going great with either one for me. have 27 in one and 7 in the other. not left, that's how many I've found.

12:48 pm

joym999

26 and 6 for me.

12:49 pm

hokie carla

now have 9 on the lower

12:50 pm

hokie carla

just found a weird one that is c + a dressing

12:50 pm

joym999

salad dressing or bandage dressing or stuffing dressing?

12:51 pm

hokie carla

salad

12:51 pm

hokie carla

also a one-level house or a farm out west with horses and cattle

12:51 pm

joym999

one of my favorite types of dressing!

12:52 pm

hokie carla

I just ate a salad with some.

12:55 pm

MollyL

Oh my God, okay. That part of New York there, built on an island and some other land. I wouldn't live there. No matter what you call it, it is too much steel and girder for that tiny amount of land. Sooner or later, something is going to give.

12:56 pm

hokie carla

I wouldn't live anywhere in NYC, or anywhere in DC area for that matter

12:56 pm

MollyL

New York City. It's the only city with counties, only they call them boroughs.

12:57 pm

joym999

I've lived in both and really enjoyed them, but I like the weather in CA better.

12:57 pm

MollyL

Why not DC?

12:58 pm

hokie carla

just not my style

joym999

I'm a big city kinda person.

12:59 pm

hokie carla

1:00 pm

hokie carla

I went to college with a ton of kids from No. VA, and I can't even explain how annoying they were.

1:01 pm

joym999

the weather in DC was the worst thing about living there. The politics you can ignore, but not the weather.

1:02 pm

MollyL

The Commonwealth is a thing of itself.

1:04 pm

hokie carla

they liked to ask where I was from because I didn't have the same accent as them, and when I'd say SWVA, they'd say, but this is SWVA, and then I'd say, well, it's doesn't end here, it goes on like 5 more hours southwest of here. and they were snobby and liked to look down on that end of the state.

1:12 pm

MollyL

I have seen this in action. Northern Virginia people like to act like they are above the Virginian hicks who live south of them.

1:12 pm

Uneaixoise

3:20 pm

moolingwa

mexican resort isn't a word unless there is another

3:45 pm

phantom context -- in more ways than one!

3:45 pm

moolingwa

it's a proper noun

3:45 pm

hokie carla

I know, I thought you were saying it was allowed

3:45 pm

hurshy

oh so not one that counts

3:45 pm

hurshy

3:46 pm

moolingwa

catonym - puss, kitty, or other name used to generally describe your feline pet

3:47 pm

moolingwa

at least we can't see cataracts in this grid

3:47 pm

hokie carla

why is oaty never a word or why do I keep trying oaty?

3:48 pm

hurshy

i am getting sleepy

3:48 pm

cybernan

because it should be a word?

3:48 pm

moolingwa

because there is systemic discrimination against cereals that aren't wheat or rice

3:49 pm

hurshy

i was hoping cruton would be a spelling of crouton but nooooo

3:49 pm

hokie carla

I mean, this cereal bar is very oaty

3:49 pm

moolingwa

croton works though...but that's a plant :)

Yiddish word. Na.....

4:03 pm

hokie carla

Kaplan the Magne

Yeah you have. It's a na____ and it's what you hope to get from Der kinder

4:03 pm

hurshy

4:03 pm

moolingwa

I thought they were just feminine mexican foods

4:04 pm

moolingwa

:D

4:04 pm

Kaplan the Magne

You have to go into your throat to say it

4:04 pm

hokie carla

it looks like the chips but different vowel

Did you get it?

4:06 pm

hurshy

yeah i don't think i've heard of that one kap

4:06 pm

hurshy

just finally got it here

4:06 pm

moolingwa

ah, found my last 4

4:06 pm

hurshy

un8 - i will sue the company, because this Klondike bar is just ice cream un8 with a chocolate layer!

4:06 pm

moolingwa

so...20 to go

4:07 pm

hurshy

ooh i'm catching up to you mool, 23 here

4:07 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Usually it would end with an es, but it's Yiddish, so you can spell it any way you want.

4:07 pm

moolingwa

you have low standards for engaging legal action hursh

4:07 pm

periwinkle

un8 hmm

4:07 pm

hurshy

i have never ACTUALLY engaged in any legal action

4:07 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Like you can spell Chanukah anyway you want because it's a transliteration anyway

4:07 pm

hurshy

it's only for the purposes of cluing

4:07 pm

heh

4:07 pm

4:09 pm

moolingwa

an abbreviation nancy....to the letter

4:09 pm

ty for un8 hursh

4:09 pm

Kaplan the Magne

No, within reason.

4:09 pm

hurshy

4:10 pm

hurshy

don't worry, when i make a word deviate from its spelling that much, i pay it extra

4:11 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Why not un ch...the ship set down on the shore of this unch...ed desert isle.

4:11 pm

NANCY

Sorry to say not clicking mool

4:11 pm

hurshy

yeah we all wanted that one

4:11 pm

hurshy

but many un words are like that, unwept but not unweep, because it's not REALLY a past tense, it's acting as an adjective

4:12 pm

moolingwa

guess your word is still MIA then Nancy, perhaps if you shift your POV a little, you might end up with it...at least that's IMO

4:12 pm

hokie carla

LOL

4:12 pm

Kaplan the Magne

With Gilligan, the Kipper too, the Millionaire and his wife. A movie star and the Professor and Mary Ann- here on Gilligan's Isle.

keep on with that and you'll have the CIA, NSA, and FBI on your heels, mool

4:13 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Skipper, Not Kipper. It is not Yom Kipper.

4:13 pm

hokie carla

I am moving back to sewing with an occasional glance at this grid. I hate to leave it at 51 because that's just odd, but oh well.

4:13 pm

not to mention Molly

4:13 pm

I would consider myself a POW if they captured me

4:13 pm

speaking of numbers, WHEN is amazon going to wise up and have prime day on a day whose number is actually prime??

4:13 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I never finish grids.

4:14 pm

moolingwa

I sometimes finish grids...but don't think I'll finish this one

4:14 pm

moolingwa

oh well...there's a third spelling of that bird after all...just off a different tile

4:15 pm

hurshy

oh great, just what i needed

4:15 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I didn't bother with the short one the other day- too boring and frustrating if I can't find two words. I like grids that never end

4:15 pm

moolingwa

I couldn't wait to tell you hursh :)

4:15 pm

cybernan

the my bird or the to bird?

4:15 pm

moolingwa

but it is worth a 7

4:16 pm

moolingwa

the other bird nan, off the bottom

4:16 pm

moolingwa

though the third spelling comes off the top corner

4:16 pm

hurshy

the bird none of us had ever heard of

4:16 pm

Kaplan the Magne

one ca... but 2 can?

4:16 pm

cybernan

missed that chat i guess

4:16 pm

moolingwa

yeah, think it was just as you were coming in

4:17 pm

moolingwa

differemt bird kaplan

4:17 pm

hurshy

i have the nicest little girlie cat in the whole wide world

4:17 pm

moolingwa

there's at least three birds, and one mythical bird in the grid so far

4:18 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I only know big birds and little birds. I am not an ornithologist. I wish THAT was a word in a grid

4:18 pm

moolingwa

I'm not an ornithologist, but I do enjoy birding and birds in general

4:18 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Is it myna bird or is it your-a bird?

4:19 pm

moolingwa

sexologist was in a serpentine grid I played yesterday

4:19 pm

Kaplan the Magne

WHOO

4:19 pm

hurshy

i like magpies, i don't think we have them in the US but i saw them in england and i think they are rather pretty, idk why people don't tend to like them

4:19 pm

moolingwa

there are two species of "magpie" in the US

4:19 pm

moolingwa

though they're not closely related to the European, or Australian magpies

4:20 pm

hurshy

what regions do they inhabit?

4:20 pm

moolingwa

mostly western states

4:20 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Now, what does one do when one is birding? I know what fishing is. The past tense of the feline activity is in the grid, .

4:20 pm

hurshy

ah

4:21 pm

hurshy

one sits very still with binoculars and/or a camera

4:21 pm

moolingwa

we get black-billed here in Colorado, but the Yellow-billed are only found in the central valley of CA

4:22 pm

Kaplan the Magne

The natural habitat is changing so fast that for the past 3 summers we have been inundated with bunnies, some of whom I have been able to save. I have two cats. There are also coyotes and a bobcat sighting. This is next to BOSTON, in an urban area.

4:22 pm

moolingwa

found another 7...edging closer

4:22 pm

Kaplan the Magne

There are wild turkeys and a few peacocks in Cambridge, MA

4:23 pm

TedinDurham

Rabbits and coyotes along with racoons and foxes are adapting to urban areas quite well

4:23 pm

NANCY

mool, can you give me third letter, still cant find it

4:23 pm

moolingwa

Had a turkey on the neighbor's roof when I lived in CA last

4:23 pm

moolingwa

do you know what IBM, FBI, and USA all have in common Nancy?

4:24 pm

moolingwa

used to get peacocks and white ibises in my yard in Miami

4:24 pm

moolingwa

and a my5 for that matter

4:24 pm

moolingwa

only the Ibises were native though

4:25 pm

Kaplan the Magne

When my cats look at me with that conspiratorial smug Mafia look, I know there's a bunny close by. If I'm lucky I can get it into a towel from the corner and let it hop away. If not,

4:25 pm

NANCY

No what

4:26 pm

cybernan

nancy - snafu and awol are both ac 7's

4:26 pm

Kaplan the Magne

otherwise I know there's been a hit

4:26 pm

moolingwa

they're all spelled with letters

4:26 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Thank you for that clue

4:26 pm

hurshy

everything is spelled with letters lol

4:27 pm

NANCY

good lord, how i missed that is beyond belief. must be over tired, tyvm all

4:27 pm

moolingwa

well yes, but these ones are specific letters

4:27 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Hurshy you are too much today!

4:27 pm

moolingwa

I guess I should have specifically added specific :)

4:28 pm

hurshy

just stating the obvious lol

4:28 pm

moolingwa

yeah yeah...this board wears....

4:29 pm

hurshy

yeah i'm getting tired of this, i will get the list

4:29 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Everything is spelled with letters, you can spell Chanukah c-h-r-i-s-t-m-a-s and everything has a Yiddish version are the lessons I take from today.

4:30 pm

moolingwa

I guess we could spell Christmas s-a-t-u-r-n-a-l-i-a...not like it has any real tie to the date it's celebrated

4:31 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Nothing is really anything. By the way, I seem to have misplaced a year and a half of my life- maybe it's in the other room? Near my glasses?

4:31 pm

hurshy

the commercial did famously say that r-o-l-a-i-d-s spells relief

4:31 pm

moolingwa

have you checked the sofa?

4:31 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I'm sorry I put myself in the PB earlier

4:32 pm

Kaplan the Magne

With one of the birds.

4:32 pm

moolingwa

not sure why everyone has such a fascination with peanut butter ;)

4:32 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I hope I didn't shrink it in the dryer

4:32 pm

hurshy

ok, i will share the bounty from the list - there is a weird au7/40 that looks like pl with no singular

4:32 pm

moolingwa

that's the ox

4:33 pm

moolingwa

also worth checking your pockets in the laundry hamper

4:33 pm

hurshy

kap shrunk an ox in the dryer?

4:33 pm

moolingwa

yes, now he has a pygmy bull

4:33 pm

Kaplan the Magne

You are misgendering me! New word.

4:34 pm

moolingwa

oops, my apologies

4:34 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I got a bunch of words from your au clue

4:34 pm

hurshy

do you prefer "they" pronouns, kap?

4:34 pm

moolingwa

you could say you augmented your list :)

4:34 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I'm kidding.

4:34 pm

cybernan

through the list and 13 left -- later

4:35 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I have been told on line that I am obviously a man from a country where women aren't allowed to drive.

4:35 pm

moolingwa

I wouldn't know

4:35 pm

hurshy

well, there are always weird misunderstandings online!

4:35 pm

Kaplan the Magne

wouldn't know what

4:36 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I know but this is funny. Are women allowed to drive in Flushing, Queens?

4:36 pm

moolingwa

anything, other than you have some affinity to boston

4:36 pm

Kaplan the Magne

My mother didn't drive- maybe that's why

4:37 pm

hurshy

ooh are you barbara walters' daughter?

4:37 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I know, I like having an online self

4:37 pm

moolingwa

my mother drives me crazy

4:37 pm

Kaplan the Magne

why Barbara Walters?

4:37 pm

hurshy

she doesn't drive

4:38 pm

hurshy

i think when i learned that she doesn't drive was the first time it ever even occurred to me that there could be people who are educated and have money and everything but who do not drive!

4:38 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Well, there's a new nugget of knowledge.

4:38 pm

moolingwa

When I lived in NYC the first time, I didn't drive :)

4:38 pm

Kaplan the Magne

In New York and Queens in particular there are busses everywhere.

4:39 pm

moolingwa

at least until I decided to leave NYC after three years

4:39 pm

hurshy

i dislike NYC

4:40 pm

moolingwa

I've lived there a couple of times...don't feel I'll live there again, but had some fun times there

4:40 pm

Kaplan the Magne

We just went "down the corner" and there was the green bus or the orange bus, straight into Main St Flushing which is now New China (great food) and then into the #7 train and there you were- the World's Fair

4:40 pm

Kaplan the Magne

My daughter lives in Brooklyn right where my mother lived in the 1940s

4:41 pm

hurshy

that's continuity for you

4:41 pm

moolingwa

had friends in Brooklyn, but lived in the city both times

4:41 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Well, it wasn't Chinatown during the Worlds Fair, but it just shows how places have new character, always changing.

4:42 pm

moolingwa

yeah, I lived in Harlem second time around

4:42 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I am not a male, was born in Brooklyn, have a common Hebrew name that you would hear a lot in Brooklyn, and I learned to drive in Boston at age 30.

4:42 pm

hurshy

personally, i refuse to go to Harlem in ermine & pearls

4:42 pm

Kaplan the Magne

And I'm going to be a grandmother. But am I really old enough?

4:43 pm

Kaplan the Magne

don't dish the dirt with the rest of the girls

4:43 pm

hurshy

i'm at that awkward age where i'm biologically old enough to be a grandmother but young enough to still potentially get pregnant

4:43 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Hurry hurry take the A Train- the quickest way to get to Harlem

4:44 pm

moolingwa

I don't think I'll ever be a grandmother

4:44 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I have lived out of NY for decades but you can take the girl out of Queens- but you can't take the Queens out of the girl

4:44 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Moo, you could try

4:45 pm

moolingwa

yes, if I was so inclined...and with help from my daughter of course...but she's a ways off from that

4:45 pm

Kaplan the Magne

And not the part of Queens that the trumps came from- only the parts they developed--and redlined.

4:46 pm

moolingwa

ah yes...the gold

4:46 pm

moolingwa

nothing like 80s chic

4:46 pm

Kaplan the Magne

i discovered something during my long-term subbing job

5:07 pm

hurshy

there are kids who simply do not care if they fail, and apparently their parents don't care either, in some cases

5:07 pm

ChampFit

TRUE.

5:08 pm

ChampFit

spent the afternoon with my 14 year old nephew. He has regret that he didn't choose to try to take algebra in 8th grade. He's going into 9th and feels "behind". My brother and sis-in-law apparently just let him choose with no advice or direction. And now a 14 year old has REGRET. Insanity!

5:09 pm

hurshy

tell him it's ok, these things are no biggie

5:09 pm

ChampFit

You don't have to be a helicopter parent to pay attention and guide your kid.

5:10 pm

ChampFit

I did Hurshy, but it annoys me that it's bugging him so much. Tried to 'splain it to him.

5:10 pm

hurshy

i once tutored an 18 year old who had already gone through drug addiction (to some serious stuff) and rehab, so he had some major regrets...

5:12 pm

hurshy

he now sincerely wanted to learn math but he'd killed off a lot of brain cells

5:13 pm

ChampFit

I totally get that. I had a friend in school who used to turn down hard drugs (LSD) to preserve his brain cells. It was his way of joking to get out of it, but there's truth in it.

5:13 pm

hurshy

when i used to see kids smoking cigarettes, i'd be like, "if you want to kill yourself, at least choose a quicker, less painful method"

5:14 pm

hurshy

i mean when i was their fellow student

5:14 pm

ChampFit

GAHHHHH!!! I just listed the home of a smoker. Yellow blinds, overwhelming smell...I asked her to quit smoking in the house, but she just couldn't.

5:14 pm

hurshy

yucky

5:15 pm

ChampFit

Believe it or not, only 2 or 3 people mentioned it in the feedback. I was a bit put out. How can I counsel someone if they don't realize it's an issue? She's nose-blind to it.

5:16 pm

hurshy

i would definitely not buy a house that smelled like that

5:16 pm

5:16 pm

hurshy

i cannot think of a pangram for today's spelling bee

5:16 pm

ChampFit

33 showings and 4 offers in 48 hours. To be fair, some of them offered before they saw it.

5:17 pm

ChampFit

I made them see it in person, and 2 pulled out.

5:18 pm

Shirlockc

i would sell if i had some other place to go, my current mortgage is < rent in my hood. I wouldn't be able to afford to live here if i didn't buy 10 years ago

5:18 pm

hurshy

i tried "orthopathy" but apparently that's not a word, hmph

5:18 pm

ChampFit

That's the case with so many people. You're going to spend more on the new home

5:19 pm

72 Temple Owl

i am looking at new construction. at least i will know the price, no bidding wars.

5:19 pm

ChampFit

True. They aren't dealing at all now, and there are construction delays, but you get what you want.

72 Temple Owl

new 55+ community. more than a bit chary of association fees though

5:21 pm

ChampFit

Well yes. But I have a friend living in one and she loves it! Everyone is retired or close to it, more free time, and always doing things.

5:21 pm

72 Temple Owl

the old folks part is only part of the new community

5:22 pm

72 Temple Owl

5:28 pm

ChampFit

The 4th column C is kicking my ass!

5:29 pm

72 Temple Owl

5:29 pm

72 Temple Owl

NANCY

would appreciate a clue for sc 5 14 please

7:10 pm

penquis

it uses a two point vowel....

7:10 pm

MollyL

I still don't get how unemployment is at record highs and people can still afford new homes.

7:10 pm

NANCY

TY PEN GOT IT

7:10 pm

penquis

yw....

7:12 pm

BzznBea

Same reason unemployment is at an all time high, Molly.

7:17 pm

NANCY

SIGH, still 18 left but must go see my TB lightning hopefully win and get the t

7:17 pm

to the final round.

7:17 pm

7:19 pm

Lizlin

Good morning. Clue for ro 6/24 pls

7:20 pm

penquis

it has the sometimes vowel in the middle...

7:20 pm

BzznBea

That's the pesky one sounds like the teary veg but iwth the sometimes vowel.

7:20 pm

Lizlin

Thanks - both clues helped

7:22 pm

BzznBea

Clue for ca7.40, please.

7:23 pm

Lizlin

ca 7/40 - begins with a vehicle, ends with a bug

7:23 pm

MollyL

Yeah Bea, I guess the wealthy rule the world.

7:25 pm

dan2bit

7:26 pm

Lizlin

Fireworks - have a good day / evening everyone and thanks for the clues.

7:27 pm

penquis

congrats...

7:27 pm

BzznBea

Not sure that is the case this time, Molly. Interest rates are very low. People have banked and saved their incentive money. I think it is the middle class taking advantage of this. IMO

7:27 pm

MollyL

Middle class people lose jobs and then lose their homes and the wealthy buy them up cheap. Sad.

7:29 pm

MollyL

Bea, people who have no jobs are not banking and saving their incentive money.

7:30 pm

BzznBea

No, but those who do have jobs are and have been. Those who do not have jobs are using unemployment and govt incentives including the madnate that you can not be evicted,if you do not pay yourrent.

7:33 pm

BzznBea

A lot of the people who own those rental homes are middle class people. Theya re looking at losing those properties because they can not pay the mortgage on them.

7:33 pm
