hurshy

"as useless as a chocolate fire-guard" (is a funny simile i just heard the F1 commentator use)

9:05 am

hurshy

pretty nice grid, 7 left after one pass

9:06 am

hurshy

6 now, 3 F, 2 M, 1 S, i like when they do the 12 days of christmas thing like that

9:09 am

hurshy

phantom: freesia

9:10 am

phaeton

hello...help with the me6 pls

9:10 am

hurshy

oho, i need that too

9:11 am

Shirlockc

thought the same with selkie

9:12 am

hurshy

yeah i thought that's a mythical creature but wasn't sure if i was misremembering it

9:13 am

rururocks

me6 sounds like a vacuum cleaner brand

9:14 am

hurshy

thanks ruru

9:14 am

hurshy

rats, can't plural it, so that's not my last 7

9:15 am

9:16 am

Keala

So disappointed that selkie isn't accepted!

9:17 am

phaeton

ty

9:17 am

rururocks

I"m in the dark as to what a selkie is

9:18 am

hurshy

it's something mythical - scottish myth i think?

9:18 am

hurshy

yes - A creature or spirit in Scottish and Irish folklore that has the form of a seal but can also assume human form.

9:19 am

Keala

Mythical seal people.

9:19 am

rururocks

oh ok

9:20 am

hurshy

surprising, you know how enable loves scottish words!

9:20 am

Keala

There's a lovely film about them "The Secret of Roan Inish"

9:21 am

rururocks

the only scottish myth i know is nessie

9:26 am

flosey

there is a very funny YouTube video about 2 Scottish men in a voice activated elevator... the elevator doesn't understand their accent. if you haven't seen it..... google Scottish elevator

9:26 am

Kaplan the Magne

I know the Roan Inish movie. My daughter was fascinated with it as a child even though she was to young for it

9:29 am

rururocks

I can't understand the Scottish dialect either. It's really impossible for me to understand

9:30 am

hurshy

sometimes being too young for things is great... the thing has even more mysteriousness to it that way

9:31 am

hokie carla

I've been around a lot of Scots in the last 15 years. It's wayyy harder to understand them on the phone than in person.

9:33 am

rururocks

I'm sure Matt Gaetz feels exactly that way hursh

9:33 am

hurshy

lol

9:38 am

hokie carla

found one fo6, not sure that was a quick one

9:39 am

rururocks

i'm stuck at 20 to go

9:43 am

hokie carla

9:46 am

MollyL

The Secret of Roan Innish is a great movie. You have to watch it just to see Wee Jamie cruising The Irish Sea in his wee curragh

9:47 am

hokie carla

have never seen this movie. maybe I need to find it.

9:49 am

hokie carla

oh, it's on amazon prime

9:49 am

origami

It's on Amazon Prime hokie.

9:49 am

hokie carla

9:50 am

hokie carla

9:50 am

rururocks

9:51 am

hokie carla

9:51 am

rururocks

ooops

9:52 am

rururocks

i have the 8. .i was looking at a blank six box

9:52 am

rururocks

my mistake

9:52 am

hokie carla

LOL

9:52 am

hokie carla

apparently there are 2 fo6. I found 1.

9:53 am

rururocks

and done.. had to look up two words today

9:53 am

hokie carla

so you were stuck at 20 but now have 1? I was stuck at 29 and now have 24.

9:54 am

hokie carla

that's why they pay you the big bucks

9:54 am

MollyL

Yes I said that earlier when it was suggested you should have no trouble with fo6

9:54 am

hokie carla

I think I'm going to have to look up this ei5

9:54 am

hokie carla

nm

9:54 am

hokie carla

yes, that's how I knew there were 2

9:55 am

MollyL

We have had the ei5 before

9:55 am

hokie carla

1st col gray!

10:03 am

hokie carla

I don't have any of the middle row E's. are these regular words or weirdos?

10:05 am

hokie carla

LOL at the closed captions - Eject! when they are saying idiot or eejit.

10:06 am

zoozzoom

10:06 am

hokie carla

thanks, zooz. and howdy

10:07 am

zoozzoom

Hello. I have just this second got here so sorry if I cannot help much more.

10:07 am

zoozzoom

Looking at the othet E now

10:07 am

hokie carla

that's okay. I'm sure you catch up to me soon.

10:07 am

MollyL

Some closed captions are awful. Song lyric: never got into chores. Closed caption: never got in Toot Shores.

10:08 am

hokie carla

got the other e

10:08 am

hokie carla

LOL, Molly

10:08 am

zoozzoom

Ah okay. I will start from the top right then lol

10:08 am

zoozzoom

Top left sorry. Good start haha!

10:09 am

MollyL

I actually looked up Toot Shores to see if it was a 1950s Hollywood restaurant

10:09 am

hokie carla

ha! I was like, odd place to start but not everyone starts at top left like me.

10:09 am

MollyL

I start at the top left

10:10 am

hokie carla

and ru calls rows columns and columns rows, so who knows what he does.

10:11 am

MollyL

Wait, wait. Rows are rows and columns are columns. Rows go side to side, columns up and down. But then, Ru is still convinced that Anne Hathaway is in The Princess Bride.

10:12 am

MollyL

I hope Ru doesn't use Excel.

10:12 am

hokie carla

yes, hurshy & I tried to explain that

10:12 am

hokie carla

I think I even said he must've never used a spreadsheet before.

10:12 am

zoozzoom

Haha!

10:13 am

MollyL

I think he is pulling your leg. Who runs a business and doesn't use spreadsheets?

10:13 am

hokie carla

I wish I could remember what day that was to direct you to the archive.

10:13 am

MollyL

*Imagines Ru tabulating sales on graph paper

10:14 am

hokie carla

maybe he uses an abacus

10:14 am

zoozzoom

hahaha!

10:16 am

hokie carla

aug 21 - 9:15

10:18 am

zoozzoom

He did put :D a couple of time too. I think he was having you on.

10:19 am

hokie carla

I hope so ðŸ¤£

10:25 am

MollyL

You and Hurshy are kind of easy to mess with
: D

10:25 am

hokie carla

to be fair, it's hard to read people in chats

10:28 am

MollyL

Elf is in the grid and almost Hermey

10:31 am

hokie carla

I want to be a dentist

10:35 am

hokie carla

and hermie is in the grid

10:40 am

zoozzoom

10:41 am

hokie carla

declaring myself stuck at 17 left - 4-4-6-3 - SS L H FFF MMM RRRR SS F

10:41 am

hokie carla

wow, well done

10:41 am

zoozzoom

run through.

10:41 am

hokie carla

I think I had 49 after my first run through

10:42 am

hokie carla

guess I will take another break. surely I can find some 4s.

10:42 am

MollyL

Hermey is not and that is how it is spelled

10:42 am

zoozzoom

There is a le5

10:43 am

hokie carla

well, that is my missing L, now if I can find it

10:44 am

hokie carla

first try! LOL

10:44 am

zoozzoom

:)

10:44 am

hokie carla

weird singular with that one

10:45 am

hokie carla

good luck with your remaining words. TTFN

10:46 am

zoozzoom

Toodle pip!

10:48 am

rururocks

would it be pip or pips

10:48 am

zoozzoom

pip.

10:48 am

rururocks

we might have to let Gladys know then :D

10:48 am

zoozzoom

I used to say toodle pips but it is toodle pip.

10:49 am

zoozzoom

Haha!

10:58 am

zoozzoom

Fireworks. Happy babbling everyone!

5:38 pm

ItalianGreyhound

it uses a 5 tile

5:38 pm

mab

me + president's nickname, less last letter + the ending with the high score letter...

5:39 pm

mab

difficult to clue

5:39 pm

NANCY

TY mab, got it but what a goofy word

5:39 pm

ItalianGreyhound

ends in mispelling of: I ---- you, you ---- me

5:39 pm

mab

def. is great or much or abundant

5:40 pm

NANCY

dont recall ever seeing it before

5:41 pm

mab

actually, the definition is no help with such an odd word.

6:02 pm

Uneaixoise

Fe7 please?

6:03 pm

penquis

ends with a charged particle....

6:04 pm

Uneaixoise

Tx.....new to me

6:04 pm

penquis

me, too....monkeyed it....

6:05 pm

penquis

and the definition makes absolutely no sense to me, lol...

6:09 pm

mab

fe 7 starts with the hardness of a mattress misspelled or french for agricultural place, and ends with a, is it a charged particle?

6:09 pm

mab

oh... you got it already. never mind.

6:11 pm

Uneaixoise

Tx anyway :-)

6:11 pm

penquis

yes, she got it with my minimalist clue... ;o)

6:11 pm

penquis

6:12 pm

penquis

no problem, mab....some people need more extensive clueing....and yours was a good one....

6:12 pm

mab

6:13 pm

penquis

well i think my last words were fives....

6:15 pm

nrkii

I think I need more extreme clueing on the me6

6:15 pm

nrkii

:)

6:15 pm

mab

this is where i repeatedly type in hebrew and french words that really aren't right

6:17 pm

hurshy

me6 looks like it might sound the same as a man's name, a la M_______ Schumacher

6:17 pm

mab

my clue was not quite right. just try me, then eisenhower, and then a normal work ending.

6:17 pm

penquis

me 6...it's a homonym for a man's name....like Mi___Jackson....

6:17 pm

mab

word, not work

6:17 pm

hurshy

Schumacher, Jackson, whatever

6:18 pm

penquis

five posts in the same minute... ;o)

6:19 pm

ItalianGreyhound

oops, youre right

6:19 pm

penquis

hmmm....are we talking about the same word, lol?....
