we went to Hilton Head. were going to stay just a few days but it was so nice there we stayed a few more.
6:59 am
BzznBea
A couple of my girlfriends from KS and I are planning a getaway this summer. We are going to staying on Emerald Isle.
7:00 am
hokie carla
I've never been there. It sounds nice.
7:00 am
BzznBea
It's my favorite beach in NC.
7:02 am
hokie carla
had to look at the map to see where it is

7:03 am

I think Bea is trying to distract me (and maybe her) from the fact there are 52 P's
7:03 am
BzznBea
I love P's
7:03 am
hokie carla
yeah, HH is very nice this time of year. I think it's way too crowded in the summer.
7:04 am
BzznBea
And if you use the PREfix...
7:04 am
BzznBea
Any great beach is crowded in the summer.
7:05 am
hokie carla
not even to the 3rd row but have picked up 19 p's already. working on the A right now.

I am also missing that bottom R, along with the i (eye) above it - would anyone be kind enough to provide stats, please?
7:26 am
hokie carla
of course not, thanks
7:26 am
hokie carla
the i is ir5
7:27 am
BzznBea
I wonder if that bottom R isn't a biggie?
7:27 am
mattygroves
Thanks both!
7:27 am
BzznBea
My bet is it is.
7:28 am
mattygroves
That would be my guess, yeah.
7:28 am
hokie carla
I think the bottom R has to be an RE and it has to involve the R near it.
7:28 am
aslindy
that R is a 5/6 combo
7:29 am
aslindy
and you are right, hokie
7:29 am

I'm just happy I've found 10 of the 8s so far
7:40 am

I was thinking as Molly was! I only have five of the 8s, so a bit behind you
7:41 am
BzznBea
The Suffixes du jour make the 8's easier
7:41 am
hokie carla
pretty sure they all have the same ending
7:41 am

finallly unboxed the sewing machine yesterday. it took me longer to thread the needle than to make the little hand warmer (that turned out great).
7:50 am
BzznBea
Very nice!
7:50 am
hokie carla
did you get one with an automatic threader?
7:50 am
Scrabbler
Good morning, Babblers.
7:51 am
BzznBea
My trick to threading the needle is to lick you thumb and index and run it down the needle.
7:51 am
welki
no, but thinking i should have. i did find an ancient threader in my old sewing kit, so that worked out okay
7:51 am
hokie carla
howdy scrabbs
7:51 am
BzznBea
My auto threader never works correctly.
7:51 am
welki
i considered a self-threader, but thought it was one more thing that could break on the machine - wanted to keep it simple and easy
7:52 am
hokie carla
I have one that's a PITA, but the rest work great.
7:52 am
welki
(and i listened to bea - it's not hard with the threader and a friend told me that, if i want, there are more modern threaders for machines that work pretty well)
7:53 am
welki
hi scrabbs!
7:53 am
hokie carla
my coverstitch machine is a babylock with the air threading. it's so awesome. when my serger gives out I will definitely get a babylock serger for that.
7:54 am
BzznBea
I thought about getting a serger, but I don't sew clothing.
7:54 am
welki
in my (low) price range, i could have a variable speed pedal and a more powerful motor or a self-threader.
7:54 am
hokie carla
my LQS sells a ton of sergers and I couldn't figure out why since I seem to be the only one in the area who makes clothing. apparently a lot of quilters use them.
7:55 am
BzznBea
I've seen them used on the outsides of quilts that haven't been sandwiched yet.
7:59 am
hokie carla
well, I've gotta get busy. 62 left for later.

10:42 pm
Jacula
I seem to be awake at silly am (4.41 am in UK). Grid is long done for me so if anyone needs clues I'm here for a while.
10:56 pm
Jacula
No takers?
11:04 pm
Jacula
Just checked the ranking list for the first time in about 4 years. I'm still ranked 9th. lol
11:16 pm
Jacula
Ri5/16, if there is no one in need of clues, I'll be off now. Stuff to do!
11:17 pm
Jacula
Stuff at this time of the morning mostly involves cats and foes.
11:18 pm
Jacula
Foes? Where did my x go? I should have said foxes. lol
11:20 pm
Jacula
Clunky keyboard yet again. Must put a new one on my Christmas present list!
11:21 pm
allyall
made it to HOET and 77 left
11:23 pm
dcseain
we have fewer foxes where i live since the coyetes arrived.
11:30 pm
Jacula
seain - thank goodness we don't have coyotes here in UK.
11:30 pm
Jacula
allyall - Hi! Just yell if you need clues/
11:31 pm
dcseain
the wolves didn't eat the foxes, but the coyotes do. Coyotes only arrived this side of the Appalachians about 8 years ago.
11:32 pm
Jacula
That's interesting. seain. I wonder why that happened?
11:33 pm
Jacula
I remember watching a wildlife programme on TV about how the reintroduction of wolves into an area in the US rebalanced it.
11:34 pm
dcseain
early settlers killed them here (I'm in Virginia near MD and DC) ANd a bit to the West of the Appalachians in Ohio at least. took them time to work their way back east.
11:34 pm
allyall
I teach HS math and I have never used the word pe8
11:34 pm
dcseain
they mostly outcompete the wolves.
11:35 pm
dcseain
pr8, allyall?
11:35 pm
Jacula
allyall - I remember that word for the 360 deg angle from maths lessons in the 70s in UK, and I'm rubbish at maths.
11:36 pm
Jacula
pr8/50 is what you hope to get if your pr5/12 machine doesn't throw a wobbler! lol
11:38 pm
Jacula
seain - sounds like the coyotes need culling/managing!
11:38 pm
dcseain
they are solitary, with large territories.
11:39 pm
Jacula
They sound a menace, seain!
11:39 pm
dcseain
we do have annual deer hunts.
11:39 pm
dcseain
only bow and arrow, and densely populated area.
11:40 pm
Jacula
Yes, we have deer culling here, which is a necessity, and also unnecessary badger and fox culls.
11:41 pm
Jacula
Bow and arrow, like gun shots are only kind if the marksman is accurate.
11:42 pm
dcseain
agreed re marksmen
11:42 pm
dcseain
we have one remaining fox hunt in my region, in Middleburg, VA in May. It's a no-kill hunt.
11:43 pm
Jacula
For badger culling, read unfair trapping using dogs, nets and lamps at night. For fox culling, read despite the horse and hound hunting having been banned, it still happens here.
11:44 pm
dcseain
the horse and hound style is the state sport here in VA.
11:45 pm
dcseain
jousting is the state sport in Maryland.
11:45 pm
dcseain
the Maryland Renaissance Faire hosts the annual Maryland Jousting Championship tournament in October.
11:47 pm
Jacula
I think that's awful, seain! I've never agreed with that method. Have you ever seen an exhausted fox torn apart by hounds and watched the awful hooray Henrys blooding their children on their first hunt by smearing the fox's blood on their cheeks and forehead. Totally barbaric!
11:47 pm
Jacula
Jousting is good, seain!
11:48 pm
dcseain
I have, seen yes. I used to attend the Middleburg Hunt regularly.
11:48 pm
Jacula
Watch jousting at Warwick Castle every now and then.
11:49 pm
Jacula
I think we will have to agree to disagree about hunting animals.
11:49 pm
dcseain
oh, nice re the jousting.
11:50 pm
dcseain
the fox hunt is mean. Other hunting we eat the animals.
11:51 pm
Jacula
Yes, hunting and making a clean kill is a better way of finding meat than factory farming them to send them to the abbatoir.
11:51 pm
allyall
help with to7 the first ?
11:52 pm
Jacula
allyall - to7/40 is not this morning.
11:53 pm
allyall
ty! clearly tired, seems obvious. 41 left, but going to bed. well past my bedtime.
11:54 pm
Jacula
Dormez bien, allyall.
11:54 pm
dcseain
sweet dreams, i'm off to bed too. Happy Babbling, yall!
11:55 pm
Jacula
Sleep well, Seain.
11:57 pm
Jacula
3 mins to go now. If anyone needs a last minute clue better ask quickly!
11:59 pm
Jacula
I'll tale a first pass at grid to come and then come back to it later.
