justafreep

thanks, lickety

12:22 am

justafreep

sigh. again fooled by seeing yoyo

12:26 am

rbud

what's that left Y? I've made up some really exotic words for it, but no luck so far. (it's not yooly, haha!)

12:26 am

justafreep

it's like a typo of a type of "singing"

12:26 am

dizgrannie

yo 5

12:27 am

rbud

thanks! :)

12:27 am

dizgrannie

zo 8, excessive attention to animals

12:28 am

rbud

and that puts me at nbt, now I only need the darn big one.

12:28 am

justafreep

same. I think that must be a typo, too. Maybe for an 8 :-)

12:30 am

rbud

thanks for zo 8, that also found me id 8

12:31 am

justafreep

thanks indeed for that zo8.

No one is here? Where is my morning buddy IG?

5:59 am

Uneaixoise

Morning, Scrabs!

5:59 am

Scrabbler

Hi Une. Still blazing hot there?

6:00 am

Uneaixoise

Toasty and humid, yeah :-)

6:01 am

Scrabbler

Stay hydrated.

6:01 am

Uneaixoise

Yep

6:01 am

Uneaixoise

Rain would be soooo welcome.....

6:03 am

Scrabbler

We have had a VERY rainy summer, more than we need.

6:04 am

Uneaixoise

Feel free to send some my way :-)

6:04 am

Scrabbler

I wish we could redirect our rain to drought areas.

6:31 am

Scrabbler

Off to work. Bye.

7:07 am

BzznBea

Our missing babbler is in the grid today.

7:08 am

saanichcat

and it's a real word too!

7:09 am

hokie carla

bea was just trying to trick us into the penalty box

7:09 am

BzznBea

Just making an observation. =)

7:14 am

BzznBea

That Y makes things interesting today.

7:17 am

MollyL

Man, the way you all are going on about "missing" his picture is going to end up on a milk carton

7:21 am

BzznBea

I always have to try "tuit".

7:21 am

BzznBea

I will get around tuit.

7:28 am

MollyL

Ugh, it used to be a thing at corporate "motivational meetings" to hand our round buttons that said TUIT. Get it, a round tuit.

7:28 am

BzznBea

Yep.

7:29 am

MollyL

Same meetings where you had to partner up with someone and fall and let them catch you. Again, ugh.

7:29 am

BzznBea

Is mt new icon showing?

7:29 am

rastapopolous

And there is no "I" in team. Until I saw that graphic where there is an I in team, right there in the A-hole

7:30 am

MollyL

So many a-holes, so few places to hide

7:30 am

rastapopolous

https://www.neatorama.com/images/2012-\n06/i-in-team.jpg

7:31 am

MollyL

That link will not work unless you remove the \n

7:33 am

rastapopolous

how did it get in? I just copied the link

7:34 am

Gillie

I think it

7:35 am

Gillie

I think it's something the chat adds into long web addresses

7:35 am

Gillie

\n is used as a character code for a new line

7:37 am

Gillie

But in some cases it may need to be combined with \r for a "return" (a leftover from the typewriter days, I think)

7:37 am

rastapopolous

tinyurl to the rescue https://tinyurl.com/5b2b45wj

7:41 am

MollyL

It is a coding error that Dr. God has been made aware of but has not fixed. Tiny url is your best bet.

7:42 am

hokie carla

oh, i thought it was a feature he added to keep the chat from blowing ðŸ¤£

7:42 am

MollyL

Nope. The chat still blows if too many characters get posted without a space

7:44 am

MollyL

Oh lucky Florida. All that COVID and now...Fred.

7:44 am

hokie carla

is Fred a TS or hurricane?

7:44 am

MollyL

It is still a tropical depression I think

7:45 am

hokie carla

(was hoping I guessed right)

7:45 am

BzznBea

It is supposed to be an active year for hurricanes.

7:46 am

BzznBea

I also read to day that pediatric wards are full of covid patients.

7:46 am

MollyL

What is the hold up on vaccines for kids?

7:46 am

BzznBea

They are still in clinical trials i believe.

7:48 am

ChampFit

Bea...I heard the same about hurricanes, but not so much has happened yet. Fingers crossed!

7:48 am

BzznBea

It's still early.

7:49 am

ChampFit

Halfway!

7:49 am

MollyL

Well, it seems ridiculous for kids to be going back to classroom education with pediatric COVID on the rise

7:51 am

BzznBea

Guess what is the best way to protect children from covid?

7:53 am

hokie carla

masks?

7:53 am

BzznBea

Parents have the vaccine.

7:54 am

hokie carla

oh, yes.

7:54 am

BzznBea

A lot of the ped cases are in those states that have low adult vaccines.

7:55 am

BzznBea

And I'm glad the state governments are now saying you have to pay for covid testing if you have not been vaccinated.

7:55 am

Judi

Good morning, all.

7:56 am

BzznBea

Hey, Judi

7:59 am

BzznBea

MMM...one of my favorite candies is in the grid and it is a word.

8:00 am

hokie carla

I should maybe put my glasses on. thought that said candles and was trying to figure out what that could be.

8:02 am

BzznBea

Second day in a row we have had caca.

8:06 am

hokie carla

I know, I wondered if babble was telling us something

8:08 am

Judi

An 8-letter Z word. That's just cruel.

8:08 am

Judi

Anyone have a clue for that Z8?

8:09 am

hokie carla

it was easy to find because someone said it led them to the id8

8:09 am

BzznBea

Yes...Worship of animals

8:10 am

BzznBea

I think this entire grid is cruel.

8:10 am

hokie carla

yeah, I'm struggling to get halfway on each tile. currently on the A

8:12 am

Judi

Ty for the Z.

8:12 am

BzznBea

yw

8:14 am

Judi

44 left in the bucket. Off to do some work stuff.

8:24 am

MollyL

*Wonders how many people tried caca

8:36 am

hokie carla

I saw the 8/9 is TH. is that from the bottom or the top T?

8:37 am

BzznBea

top

8:37 am

hokie carla

hmm, so not related to temp. like long johns word.

8:38 am

BzznBea

No. Means to be under someone's control

8:38 am

hokie carla

oh yeah, I rem. that clue now. didn't help when I first saw it. will try again.

8:39 am

BzznBea

Ends with the last three letters of where a king reigns.

8:39 am

hokie carla

thanks, bea. got them

8:39 am

HarryHood

ty - never would have gotten that

8:39 am

BzznBea

We usally see the first part start with en-

8:40 am

BzznBea

It was a tough one...

8:40 am

BzznBea

I'm off for the day...Toodles.

8:40 am

HarryHood

bye bea

8:42 am

hokie carla

adios, beachacha

8:42 am

hokie carla

still 61 left here after 1st pass. definitely tough for this size.

8:42 am

HarryHood

almost done with my first pass. still missing the top Y though

8:43 am

hokie carla

it looks like a type of singing but spelled differently

8:43 am

hokie carla

I'm still missing top O

8:43 am

HarryHood

top O uses high pt ltr

8:44 am

HarryHood

ty for Y

8:45 am

hokie carla

thanks

8:45 am

hokie carla

kept trying to make it -ily

8:46 am

HarryHood

OK. halfway on all tiles. 60 to go

8:46 am

HarryHood

gotta go buy school supplies. ugh

8:46 am

hokie carla

60 now but not halfway on bottom E

8:47 am

hokie carla

you should just come look in my kitchen desk drawer

8:47 am

hokie carla

are these for your classroom or your kids?

8:47 am

HarryHood

for my kids.

8:47 am

HarryHood

its always such a hassle going through the old stuff and figuring out what is missing/broken/unusable

8:48 am

HarryHood

and the (*$&&$ school always wants different stuff each year

8:48 am

hokie carla

every year we had a list, bought everything from the list and then leftovers were sent home and I saved them so now I have all kinds of different stuff.

8:48 am

hokie carla

and yes, you are correct!

8:48 am

HarryHood

this year it's dividers with pockets. I am refusing. They will use last year's dividers, without pockets.

8:49 am

hokie carla

just make pockets - fold a piece of paper in half and tape it on last year's dividers

8:49 am

HarryHood

a hole punch for each kid? are you kidding me? the teacher punches holes in the papers when she copies it!

8:50 am

HarryHood

ok now I'm on a tear. gotta get coffee. bbl!

8:50 am

hokie carla

how many kids do you have left in school? just the one in college?

8:50 am

HarryHood

1 in college, 2 in high school, 2 in middle school

8:50 am

HarryHood

just the MS kids get lists. the big kids just want spiral notebooks and pens.

8:51 am

hokie carla

good luck in your school supply shopping

8:51 am

hokie carla

yeah, I think that's how it was here

8:51 am

HarryHood

thank you - have a fun day!

8:53 am

hokie carla

you too!

9:30 am

dauber

ooh, found an i8! Should have been obvious for me but here we are. :/

9:31 am

EJT

Dauber, could you clue the i8? TYVM

9:32 am

dauber

id8/55

9:32 am

dauber

I should have been able to spot it easily given that I went to Catholic school for 16 years!

9:32 am

EJT

What a great word for Babble.

9:36 am

hurshy

greetings from my sister's computer

9:36 am

hurshy

as mine died last night

9:42 am

MollyL

There will be a wake for Hurshy's computer in the PB. Food, drink and Irish song provided.

9:43 am

hurshy

thank you Molly, that's very kind :)

9:43 am

MollyL

*Brushes off the lyrics to The Night Pat Murphy Died. Changes them to The Night Hurshy's Computer Died.

9:44 am

MollyL

I can't remember if I cried
When I read about his widowed bride
But something touched me deep inside
The night...Hurshy's computer...died

9:45 am

hurshy

lol

9:48 am

MollyL

Are you shopping for a new one?

9:48 am

hurshy

already ordered, last night

9:49 am

hurshy

mine was old and had been quite sluggish for a while, so i was already thinking about getting a new one, but, this sort of just forced me into actually spending the $$

9:49 am

hurshy

but the actual death was quite sudden and without warning, it was very weird

9:49 am

MLFAN17

did we ever find mool?

9:50 am

hurshy

pb

9:51 am

MLFAN17

didnt know it was a word sorry

9:51 am

hurshy

:D

9:51 am

MLFAN17

weird huh?

9:51 am

hurshy

yeah

9:53 am

MollyL

What did you get Hursh?

9:54 am

hurshy

macbook air with M1 chip

9:54 am

MollyL

Sometimes, people just stop playing the game.

9:54 am

MollyL

Oh, well I hope you like it. I know nothing about Macintosh. Except they are very expensive.

9:55 am

ItalianGreyhound

Ive got the Air, Hurshy, and love it

9:55 am

hurshy

idk, when i looked up other quality laptops it seemed like the prices were the same

9:55 am

MLFAN17

yep MacBook equals not cheap

9:55 am

hurshy

i had an air already, just, from some years ago

9:55 am

ItalianGreyhound

almost to the level of ID8/55. :)

9:57 am

dauber

The thing about Macs and the expense -- they're so worth it. And truthfully, a PC with the equivalent power, graphics, sound, etc., under the hood, would be just about the same.

9:57 am

hurshy

that's what i seemed to be finding dauber, price-wise, yeah

9:57 am

MollyL

People who have Macintosh seem very stuck on them. Same the other way around. I am all Windows. I tried using Mac once and hated it.

9:57 am

dauber

Of course, I went to Mac from...Amiga...which was ALWAYS expensive.

9:58 am

hurshy

i see we have those ih words today :P

9:58 am

MLFAN17

dauber was that a clue for the id8 about Catholic schools?

9:58 am

dauber

Yup!

9:58 am

MollyL

Commodore, wow that is a blast from the past

9:59 am

dauber

Thing is...Amiga is still made and supported! It's hella expensive though.

9:59 am

MLFAN17

i had a commodore i loved that computer

9:59 am

hokie carla

hurshy, I just got a new macbook for my birthday in Apr, and that replaced one I had for 9 years!! I would never go back to Windows

10:00 am

MollyL

Hella?

10:00 am

dauber

Heh. My current MacBook replaced a 9-year-old one...and that one still worked! It was just getting long in the tooth.

10:00 am

hurshy

it's the latest slang, molly, keep up :D

10:00 am

MLFAN17

dauber can you expand on it a bit more pls?

10:00 am

hokie carla

my brother & I saved our money for a Commodore Vic 20 back in the day

10:00 am

dauber

Okay...I learned in Catholic school that id8/55 is a sin.

10:00 am

MollyL

I try not to accommodate the slang of the teenagers. It is so unbecoming on women of a certain age.

10:01 am

hokie carla

um, No Doubt has a song called Hella Good from 2001, so I'd hardly say it's the latest

10:01 am

hurshy

time, uh, flies

10:01 am

MollyL

No Doubt? You seriously think I follow No Doubt?

10:01 am

MLFAN17

ty dauber.. thinkng....

10:01 am

dauber

(And I'm hardly a teenager. :) )

10:01 am

dauber

BTW, the z8 is very similar to the id8

10:02 am

MollyL

That is what I meant. Elders using teen slang seems so...weird

10:02 am

dauber

Oh, I totes agree.

10:02 am

hokie carla

dauber, just saw your post about a 9 year old mac. mine still worked too, just the keyboard started acting wonky. I wiped it and gave it to my son to mess around with and it seemed to fix the keyboard. he said it was faster than his much newer PC

10:02 am

hurshy

z8, good golly

10:03 am

hokie carla

back from a disgusting walk in the soup outside for my last 57

10:04 am

welki

'morning, peeps

10:04 am

MollyL

I know Carla. The air is so thick you can barely breathe.

10:05 am

SuzeeQ24

any clues for the tr8 ?

10:06 am

hokie carla

winston is panting heavily and wondering around looking for the coolest spot

10:06 am

hokie carla

I guess that's my last one suzee. no clue yet.

10:06 am

MLFAN17

got the zo8 from Morewords

10:06 am

MollyL

tr8...three prefix + alt spelling of Lucy Ricardo's friend

10:07 am

MLFAN17

and the id8! ty dauber

10:07 am

hokie carla

ah, a twofer. thanks

10:07 am

SuzeeQ24

thx molly

10:08 am

MLFAN17

ty molly

10:08 am

MollyL

I think what Carla means is she got two words from that clue.

10:08 am

hurshy

dang it all, yoyo has a hyphen i guess

10:09 am

MLFAN17

yeah i keep hoping that would work lol

10:09 am

hokie carla

yes, and twofer is actually allowed by enable

10:09 am

SuzeeQ24

I had the last part..would've never thought of adding that prefix to it tho

10:09 am

hokie carla

I think yoyo not only has a hyphen but is a brand name

10:09 am

MollyL

The yo-yo thing is another one that comes up every single time it is in the grid.

10:11 am

hokie carla

or maybe not brand name. wikipedia page uses it as common noun. but maybe it lost its brand name-ness like xerox, kleenex, etc

10:14 am

MollyL

*Bets Dauber says "Yo" too
: D

10:14 am

MLFAN17

2nd column y stats pls and a clue for the 9 pls?

10:14 am

MollyL

Like, yo its totes hella hot today

10:15 am

hokie carla

truer words...

10:15 am

hokie carla

I have ya4 and ye4 mlfan

10:15 am

MLFAN17

sorry i gtg bye will be back

10:15 am

MLFAN17

10:15 am

hokie carla

my clue for the 9 is it's a plural

10:17 am

hurshy

... so tr8 & 9?

10:18 am

hokie carla

TH

10:18 am

origami

Molly just made my brain hurt :D

10:19 am

hurshy

oh right we got the tr

10:19 am

hokie carla

rem. the steward of gondor? he was under a TH8 you might say

10:20 am

hurshy

ah thanks, didn't know that would be spelt with just one L

10:20 am

hokie carla

well, when you click on the def. it isn't

10:21 am

hokie carla

but enable loves a good alt sp

10:21 am

hurshy

indeed

10:28 am

penquis

hello all...

10:28 am

hokie carla

hey pen

10:28 am

hurshy

hi pen

10:30 am

origami

Hi pen

10:30 am

welki

how's loki doing, ori?

10:31 am

rururocks

He's becoming a wine connesieur

10:32 am

welki

well, he's got the nose for it :)

10:32 am

rururocks

connoisseur?

10:33 am

hurshy

yes i think that's right

10:33 am

rururocks

glad I'm not in any spelling bees

10:33 am

MollyL

Wait, are we talking about a dog?

10:33 am

rururocks

yes

10:33 am

hokie carla

well, I'm pretty sure not Loki of Asgard

10:34 am

MollyL

A dog who drinks wine?

10:34 am

rururocks

well.. more like he likes to go bowling with bottles

10:35 am

origami

Loki is still crazy. He knocked into the side table I keep bottles on and three were broken.

10:35 am

rururocks

*note to self... wrap ori's bottles in bubble wrap before delivering*

10:36 am

MollyL

He looks kind of crazy if that is him in your icon photo

10:36 am

rururocks

that's another dog molly loki is a puppy beagle

10:36 am

MollyL

This is why cheap drunks have it made. Your dog can't break the wine box.

10:37 am

rururocks

but they can drag them out in the sun :D

10:38 am

MollyL

Speaking of wine, what is the shelf life of an unopened bottle bought in a liquor store?

10:38 am

origami

He just jumped up on my desk and spilled a cup of tea all over the place.

10:38 am

hokie carla

hey, I actually found a compound word on my own today!

10:39 am

welki

is the trainer coming back? *lol*

10:39 am

rururocks

depends on the wine molly what is it?

10:39 am

origami

She had to cancel, welki, because she was sick. I hope she comes soon :D

10:40 am

MollyL

I don't know. Someone asked me that earlier and I was like "oh yeah, like I know about wine"

10:40 am

hokie carla

how old is he? we found this book helpful. https://tinyurl.com/9fkz7mt9

10:41 am

MollyL

Okay, I just asked and the answer I got was "I don't know. Some bottle of red the wife bought years ago".

10:42 am

hokie carla

have you tried one of those leashes that runners use that goes around your waist? to keep him near at all times.

10:42 am

rururocks

depending on where it's been stored and the varietal it's likely ok

10:43 am

MollyL

So Origami, you are paying someone to train your dog?

10:43 am

hurshy

anyone have the th7 that comes right before the 8 and 9?

10:43 am

MollyL

Thanks Ru

10:43 am

hokie carla

nope

10:43 am

rururocks

yes.. she needs help.. this is a wild one

10:44 am

mkg

I am sure they are all related but i dont have them. Sorry

10:44 am

MollyL

A wild beagle?

10:44 am

mkg

Wine lasts forever i believe, if unopened.

10:44 am

rururocks

not true mkg

10:45 am

dauber

"wild beagle". That's a redundancy for sure!

10:45 am

MollyL

Oh no it doesn't. I have had some that tasted like vinegar.

10:45 am

hurshy

oho i got that 6 & 7

10:46 am

mkg

I recall a tour my hubby and i had to a wine cellar that is the #3 largest in the world. It had bottles hundreds of years old. Unopened. The collection was worth many millions of dollars supposedly. It was in a restaurant in the carribean but i dont recall which islandâ€¦..

10:46 am

mkg

I think the vinegar is if somehow air gets in.not sure.

10:47 am

penquis

depends on the kind of wine, mkg....and how it's stored...

10:47 am

mkg

Any hints for the tr 7 and 8 and 9?

10:48 am

origami

Yes, I am getting a trainer to help me. He's completely wild. The shelter said 3 years old, but I really think he's much younger than that.

10:48 am

rururocks

some wines can age for over a hundred years, but not too many types

10:49 am

mkg

Ty. I am not a wine connoseiur.

10:49 am

mkg

Cant get those tr words.

10:50 am

origami

mkg, I would really trust what ru says. Wine is his business.

10:50 am

hurshy

there's only tr8, it's th that has the 6, 7, and 8, 9 combos

10:51 am

mkg

I am sure ru is correct. What do i know. Didnt know wine is his business. I am sure he is right.

10:51 am

mkg

Th?????oh it was clued way back as tr. ty for the correction.

10:52 am

mkg

Any clues for the th leading to the 9?

10:52 am

rururocks

wines like Ports, Certain great bordeaux (especially sweet wines like Sauternes), Madieras, can age for 50-150 years. the others a lot less

10:52 am

MLFAN17

first column y is ye 4?

Screw top wine is usually cheap and not good right?

10:55 am

rururocks

i've had wines from the 1800s some are still amazing

10:56 am
