7:47 am

hokie carla

7:47 am

mael

it's the sixes that are giving me trouble today, funnily enough :)

7:47 am

mael

hi hokie

7:48 am

hokie carla

oh, I only have 2 6's, but I'm just on the 2nd row

7:48 am

BzznBea

They are pesty.

7:48 am

hokie carla

but they are normally the worst for me

7:48 am

BzznBea

And I have no 7's either

7:48 am

hokie carla

I have one 7!

7:50 am

hokie carla

yeah, bea doesn't normally like clues, so I wasn't going to tell her what I had. not yelling at you, phae, just an FYI.

7:50 am

MollyL

I wasn't referring to you Carla

7:52 am

hokie carla

ok

7:56 am

hokie carla

yesterday and today I keep trying gloin. why do I think that's a word? maybe it's a dwarf from the Hobbit.

8:00 am

mael

it is!

8:00 am

mael

gimli son of gloin son of, hah, groin

8:01 am

hokie carla

ðŸ˜¬

8:04 am

hokie carla

is it just me or are the P's a pain?

8:04 am

BzznBea

They are.

8:04 am

mael

yeah, I'm barely halfway on the Ps

8:04 am

hokie carla

I only have 8

8:04 am

hokie carla

can't even get one for halfway

8:05 am

BzznBea

Are you ready to move, Carla?

8:05 am

hokie carla

way closer, bea

8:05 am

hokie carla

still have to finish my linen closet upstairs and then all the kitchen

8:06 am

hokie carla

mr. homie & I are both having back issues. maybe we are too old for this.

8:07 am

mael

moving is a pain under the best of circumstances!

8:08 am

hokie carla

yep. we have been here 14 years, so I had forgotten

8:08 am

SamanthaJoy

...... I have no idea whether mael is talking about her house or her back rn

8:09 am

mael

can it be both? :)

8:09 am

hokie carla

but we're just going to a temp house so not looking forward to moving again after that

8:09 am

SamanthaJoy

That tracks! I like both.

8:09 am

SamanthaJoy

Well, not "like" like

8:10 am

SamanthaJoy

More "acknowledge as inevitable"

8:10 am

mael

I thought those jokes about feeling old in your 30s were exaggerated but now that I'm 36... well, my back is definitely not what it used to be

8:10 am

mael

definitely inevitable!

8:10 am

hokie carla

just wait until your late 40s

8:10 am

BzznBea

Childbirth

8:11 am

SamanthaJoy

Oh my. I don't recall that from my thirties, but I'm fifty now and it's beginning

8:11 am

hokie carla

no, I think I felt great in my 30s, with the exception of a bad knee

8:12 am

BzznBea

I will tell you young women, start doing back strengthening exercises.

8:12 am

mael

can't say it's bad yet, but it's definitely there. I broke my foot in june and it's not healed all the way yet, which affects everything else

8:12 am

mael

oh Bea, i really should

8:12 am

hokie carla

yeah, I think that and core exercises

8:13 am

SamanthaJoy

K, I'm off to work. See y'all later!

I have to 8. What is other 8 please? Ty

9:45 am

mael

ho8

10:10 am

cherlyq

I have ho 7 cant see the 8

10:18 am

MollyL

ho8 is a ruffian or a hoodlum

10:22 am

hokie carla

the brits like to use it relating to rowdy football fans

10:35 am

zoozzoom

Not just football, Hokie. Anyone who is violent towards others and is rather lawless in nature.

10:36 am

hokie carla

well, that's the way I think of it, but I've heard it on several soccer documentaries, which is why it makes me think of that.

10:37 am

cherlyq

got it ty great clue

10:38 am

MollyL

If you look up the defnition of ho8, there is nothing about football

10:39 am

cherlyq

I love british mysteries and especially Midsumer Murders got it right away

10:40 am

hokie carla

and yet, if you google it, ho8-ism comes up on the left and specifically mentions sporting events.

10:40 am

hokie carla

I love Midsomer Murders too, cheryl!

10:40 am

hokie carla

I mean, comes up on the right

10:41 am

zoozzoom

My mother loves those types of TV programmes too, Cherlyq haha!

10:41 am

hokie carla

there's a whole wikipedia article about football ho8ism

10:41 am

cherlyq

have to wait for those to come over here but it is worth the wait for sure

10:42 am

zoozzoom

It was used a lot in the 80s, Carla I agree. In more recent times it has been used for the looters and vandals during the London riots some years back too.

10:43 am

hokie carla

yeah, I watched like 20+ seasons on netflix and then waited forever. now I think the season Im' on is only on imbd tv and has commercials so hopefully more will come to netflix eventually

10:44 am

MollyL

Certainly a part of, but not limited to, sports events. As Zoom said.

10:44 am

hokie carla

never said it was limited to

10:45 am

zoozzoom

Commercials these days seem to be more frequent and getting longer. Now to watch an hour program takes about 1 & 1/2 hours.

10:47 am

MollyL

That is why I watch very little live TV Zoom. The amount of commercials has gotten ridiculous.

10:48 am

MollyL

In the US, an hour program is 40 minutes of program and 20 minutes of commercials.

10:54 am

zoozzoom

Struggling with the Ns today.

10:55 am

zoozzoom

Only have an NA 4

10:57 am

hokie carla

that's all I have for N

10:57 am

MollyL

The other two are so weird I guarantee you will not get them on your own

10:58 am

zoozzoom

I gathered they might be words not used in normal conversation haha!

11:06 am

zoozzoom

ataking a break. Good luck to you all!

11:17 am

penquis

4:09 pm

dcseain

4:10 pm

dcseain

oh, whait 6th not a six. yay reading comprehension

4:11 pm

dcseain

oh, so confused. you seek a th6?

4:11 pm

mab

no, no the th6. being unclear, sorry.

4:13 pm

dcseain

th6 looks like a Greek plural to me

4:15 pm

dcseain

it is a greek plural, looked it up. oddly, latin plural in grid, but not accepted.

4:15 pm

mab

ohhh. thanks seain.

4:15 pm

mab

was looking at it all wrong.

4:15 pm

dcseain

singular ends in -os

4:16 pm

dcseain

thank you for mentioning it existed. :)

4:32 pm

joym999

I'm totally confused by this conversation. I have a TH5 and a TH7. Are you saying that there's a related TH6?

4:33 pm

mab

the 6 has the same first letters, then a sort of odd ending.

4:33 pm

dcseain

not related, no, but starts the same

4:33 pm

joym999

hmmmmmmmmm

4:33 pm

joym999

Is it a 6,21?

4:34 pm

mab

yes.

4:34 pm

joym999

found it. you weren't kidding when you said it had an odd ending.

4:35 pm

joym999

I'm finding this grid to be difficult

4:37 pm

mab

me too. that 6 - seain said it looked greek and it is, plural for greek building.

4:38 pm

joym999

Not seeing the HO8 or the PA7. ðŸ˜¥

4:38 pm

joym999

just found the HO8

4:39 pm

joym999

what are the stats on the PA7?

4:40 pm

mab

no, sorry. is that ho 8 related to the 7 or should i stop banging away at that?

4:40 pm

TedinDurham

not related

4:40 pm

joym999

no, no relation

4:41 pm

mab

thanks

4:55 pm

rbud

pa 7/40

4:58 pm

joym999

is it a regular word, rbud?

5:00 pm

hurshy

ho8 is a very fun and neato word

5:01 pm

hurshy

i'm seeking the pa7 too so i can't tell you about that one

5:01 pm

hurshy

ok i got it

5:02 pm

hurshy

it rhymes with an adjective describing a birth canal

5:02 pm

joym999

very delicately phrased, hurshy.

5:02 pm

hurshy

:D

5:03 pm

hurshy

this is a very hard grid overall

5:03 pm

hurshy

makes me feel like i don't even know english

5:06 pm

MollyL

Where is Ru when you need him for the pa7 clue. Delicate...yeesh

5:06 pm

mab

it favors words with plenty of vowels on the ends

5:12 pm

hurshy

5:28 pm

eieios

Is it the same weird ol 5 from yesterday? I never did get that one.

5:29 pm

MollyL

If you use tab browsing on any device you can switch between the grid and the list

5:30 pm

mab

the 2 ol4 - homonyms

5:31 pm

mab

oh the 5, sorry. extension of one of the 4s

5:31 pm

MollyL

I tried several times, but I never could get our Ruby to understand tab browsing.

5:32 pm

mab

peri - the an 5 is an plus something big, but you'll have to lose a letter.

5:34 pm

eieios

Good clue, mab.

5:34 pm

eieios

I don't like tab browsing. If it is not on the same page, i find it frustrating.

5:36 pm

eieios

I still don't get the ol5. I have tried every extension of both ol fours i can think of....

5:37 pm

HarryHood

5:37 pm

mab
