The SA8 is part of an SA 7,8 combo, so the four 7s are SA, WH, RE, NO.

12:53 am

mkg

Gee not getting the wh 7 or the sa 7. Hmmmm

12:54 am

joym999

The SA words are obscure. The WH is a common word, but its spelling is unusual.

12:54 am

mkg

Are the vowels different? Do you have a syn. For either of them?

12:55 am

joym999

sorry, too sleepy

7:40 am

BzznBea

It is a pretty easy grid.

7:41 am

hokie carla

that's what ru said about yesterday's

7:41 am

hokie carla

and it wasn't true

8:01 am

hokie carla

GATBO though, thanks to the chat log

8:01 am

welki

hi everyone

8:01 am

hokie carla

hey welki, any warmer today?

8:02 am

hokie carla

when do you get your new camper?

8:02 am

BzznBea

GATBO?

8:02 am

BzznBea

Morning, welki.

8:02 am

hokie carla

got all the big ones

8:02 am

welki

not until after the new year - and no, it's -35 right now

8:02 am

BzznBea

LOL!

8:02 am

hokie carla

(acronym courtesy molly)

8:02 am

hokie carla

yuck

8:03 am

hokie carla

not like you can take it camping in that but you could at least go somewhere warmer

8:03 am

BzznBea

I won't tell you what our high is for today.

8:04 am

hokie carla

55 here right now, bea. supposed to be 73. (I broke it to her yesterday)

8:04 am

welki

it's half the size of the fifth wheel, so will take a little getting used to, but mileage will be better. and we probably would take it out, but probably not in this weather (we've winter camped before)

8:04 am

hokie carla

finally found the G. not sure why that was so hard.

8:04 am

hokie carla

yeah, I want to go smaller but mr. homie says I have so much stuff on the motorhome I could never do it.

8:05 am

welki

we used to have a class c and took that out all the time in frigid weather - was a blast!

8:06 am

welki

we didn't think we'd be getting another camper, so nearly everything in the fifth wheel was tossed when we sold it

8:06 am

hokie carla

now you can start fresh.

8:07 am

hokie carla

we remodeled the inside of ours during the first summer of covid and got a little more organized.

8:08 am

welki

the fifth wheel was pretty much parked in a seasonal spot, so it accumulated a lot of stuff, was no small feat to empty it. i owe my daughter big time for helping me empty it

8:09 am

welki

i remember when you were remodeling - issues with the curtains :)

8:11 am

MollyL

Bea, I am enabling Carla with acronyms. I kind of regret it now.

8:11 am

hokie carla

I don't remember what the issue was. they are fine now. we never did the bunk room so it looks a little out of place. I just use it for storage now anyway. have recently been painting the bedroom. I put this beautiful wallpaper up and it just started falling down all over. the wallpaper up front in the living room is still fine, but I think I used a different glue.

8:12 am

hokie carla

that was a good one though, molly. it should be in service here.

8:13 am

BzznBea

Carla, are you talking about your home or the RV?

8:13 am

hokie carla

RV

8:24 am

Sophie512

oh noooooooooooooooooooooooooo they were easy peasy

7:19 pm

MollyL

Watch those repetitive letters, they can blow the chat width

7:20 pm

MollyL

And it's a little over the top dramatic
: D

7:28 pm

Sophie512

Sorry, Molly, but you have no idea what a dumb butt move it was to have very common words left. I'll try to be a little bit less dramatic. Night.

7:32 pm

MollyL

Many of us finish finding out our last words were fairly common. It's the trick of this game and the way it is laid out.

7:33 pm

mkg

Ty for sa. I got it! Ty.

7:34 pm

I know that vein so got it from the clue. Ty.
