12:34 am

dcseain

Had i not family in Cleveland, Ohio, i'd not even know that word.

12:36 am

Gillie

A fancy word for an indoor swimming pool, I see

1:13 am

dcseain

5:30 am

Scrabbler

Aha. TY.

5:53 am

Aloyisius

hi Scrabbler et all.. am enjoying a visit with daughter and family in Denmark; with the 6 hour time difference, I've finished the grid. Probably too early for clues, but if anyone needs one?

5:53 am

Scrabbler

I have enjoyed your photos. Your grandson is adorable.

5:54 am

Aloyisius

Ty.. he is about to lose another tooth!

5:55 am

Scrabbler

How about clues for the 8s and 9, please?

5:56 am

Aloyisius

ok.. an8 could mean against a very tiny particle that has protons and neutrons inside it

5:57 am

Aloyisius

ar9 might mean the one who is put in handcuffs by the poice

5:59 am

Aloyisius

mo8 is a vowel extension of the scary mo7

5:59 am

Kamanjah

I tried that, and it didn't work. I looked up the word because I had never heard it - the dictionary says "a substance that interrupts the normal development of an insect"

6:00 am

Kamanjah

for the ar9

6:01 am

Aloyisius

..but for those with a green thumb, mo8 is a plant, often a houseplant

6:01 am

Scrabbler

I cannot get the ar9...

6:01 am

mattygroves

A small insect who got put in tiny handcuffs

6:01 am

Aloyisius

well, the ar9 ends with the picnic pest if that helps

6:01 am

Kamanjah

stick a picnic pest on the end of what takes folks to jail.

6:02 am

Scrabbler

Aha, I was using a -ee

6:02 am

Aloyisius

and Kamanjah, I'm sure you are correct with your definition

6:02 am

Kamanjah

copied it right off of the dictionary page, lol!

6:03 am

Aloyisius

lol matty.. I like your def!

6:04 am

mattygroves

:D Can I have stats, please, for the i (eye) in the upper left corner?

6:05 am

6:06 am

mattygroves

thank.

6:06 am

Aloyisius

sorry, my iz4.9 wouldn't post without more text, h'mm

6:08 am

mattygroves

No worries! Could I also have stats please for the H in the last column? Then I must get ready to go out

mattygroves

OK, found one.

6:11 am

mattygroves

6:11 am

Scrabbler

Aha, another preposition

6:11 am

Aloyisius

6:11 am

6:11 am

mattygroves

gout today. I had to crawl to the bathroom to get ibuprofen

MollyL

I've heard gout is very painful.

9:35 am

HarryHood

I get it infrequently. but it's tough when it comes.

9:35 am

mkg

Ouch. Did you eat a lot of meat or fish? I had it once and never want to get it again.

9:36 am

HarryHood

I eat no meat nor fish

but last night had a screwdriver

9:36 am

phaeton

harry...check your diet...I had it and had to completely eliminate certain foods

9:36 am

MollyL

Well hell Harry, one drink should not cause a gout flare up

9:36 am

phaeton

mine was high fructose corn syrup and shellfish

9:37 am

MollyL

And what is high fructose corn syrup in? Almost everything.

9:37 am

HarryHood

yeah - I don't know what it is. I was at a wedding last night. And the same exact wedding hall gave me a really bad one a few years ago. maybe hfcs?

9:37 am

phaeton

HFC is in almost everything

9:37 am

HarryHood

or maybe they put something in their screwdrivers

9:38 am

HarryHood

one shot vodka, two parts orange juice, and a splash of gout syrup

9:38 am

phaeton

might be the oj the used

9:38 am

MollyL

Maybe your feet just don't like weddings
: D

9:38 am

phaeton

lol

9:38 am

HarryHood

maybe the shoes. I rarely wear shoes in the summer

9:38 am

MollyL

See, this is another great reason to drink your liquor straight
: D

9:38 am

phaeton

did you just drink or eat too?

9:39 am

HarryHood

I ate some. not much. nothing weird though

9:39 am

HarryHood

yeah - next time I swig straight from the bottle

9:39 am

phaeton

doesn't have to be weird...any sauces or sweet items

9:39 am

MollyL

Harry your family eats an amazingly healthy diet. I would imagine something processed triggered it.

9:39 am

hurshy

9:39 am

HarryHood

last time I flew back, and it started on the plane

9:40 am

HarryHood

10:49 am

penquis

the dots...an umlaut....is over the U....i had heard of his engravings but not his rabbits....

10:51 am

I guess at that time artists were only supposed to paint religious themes by mandate of the pope and here he was painting (horrors) wildlife.
