hello all

6:18 am

saanichcat

hey lindy!

6:19 am

aslindy

how's it going/

6:20 am

saanichcat

OK -- under the circumstances anyway. Omicron going crazy. I am trying not to go crazy too! How about you?

6:21 am

aslindy

doing pretty well, thanks. still rearranging things after our daughter moved out.

6:21 am

saanichcat

oh, what a change. Any children at home still?

6:22 am

aslindy

nope, just the 2 of us now. again. this daughter had moved out previously about 10 years ago, but ended up moving back

6:25 am

saanichcat

well that's even more of an adjustment! Anyway, this puzzle is a stickler ...

6:27 am

aslindy

it sure is. and lots of high point letters

7:06 am

MollyL

Good morning ladies. We are hanging onto our hats today. Supposed to have strong winds (50 MPH) all day. I'm glad I'm off.

7:07 am

aslindy

hello molly, glad you can stay out of that wind!

7:08 am

saanichcat

50 mph?? wow. good luck.

7:09 am

BzznBea

I call that Kansas windy.

7:10 am

MollyL

I am just hoping no trees or power lines go down.

7:10 am

MollyL

And yes Bea, Kansas windy indeed.

7:12 am

BzznBea

That was our situation yesterday. Snow, then sleet then rain and then wind. The power always goes out in those conditions.

7:20 am

MollyL

Oh crap, I missed that Sidney Poitier died. He was amazing.

7:21 am

BzznBea

To Sir with Love...

7:23 am

MollyL

Loved the movie, hated the song

7:24 am

BzznBea

I wore out the LP.

7:26 am

BzznBea

Hello, jm.

7:27 am

MollyL

Still slippery in your part of town, JMC?

7:28 am

7:28 am

jmcnrick

so not aware of upcoming winds. Will just stay inside for the rest of the day

7:31 am

jmcnrick

I am guessing I won't get many words today

7:33 am

BzznBea

It's a sticky one.

7:33 am

jmcnrick

woot! got m first 5 letter one

7:34 am

jmcnrick

7:35 am

saanichcat

hey that's great!

7:43 am

XtinaS

7:44 am

MollyL

7:52 am

jmcnrick

7:53 am

BzznBea

Google it. They put you into the painting.

7:57 am

jmcnrick

I saw one of his starry nights (in a harbor) when I was in Paris. . . I was in the painting with no help from projectors.

8:09 am

MollyL

My sister went to the Van Gogh immersive exhibit in Atlanta. She said it was breath taking.

bichon

"nekkid and afraid" Our favorite show

8:42 am

hokie carla

I say nekkid. of course people make fun.

8:42 am

BzznBea

LOL! I've binge watched that show. It's like a train wreck.

8:42 am

hokie carla

naked just sounds fake.

8:43 am

hokie carla

I wanted to hate the show but got swept up in a marathon a while back.

8:43 am

bichon

Can't wait til the new season starts

8:44 am

Scrabbler

I used to enjoy watching that.

8:46 am

Aloyisius

8:47 am

hokie carla

it's a cable channel show, earlier seasons might be netflix

8:47 am

Aloyisius

oh, ok.. we don't have cable

8:47 am

hokie carla

looks like you can only stream 2 seasons on hulu and all 13 are on discovery+

8:48 am

Aloyisius

ty for checking, hokie

8:49 am

hokie carla

justwatch.com is a go-to for me to check shows - tells you everywhere that's streaming a movie or tv show

8:49 am

BzznBea

Thanks for that, Carla.

8:49 am

Aloyisius

making note of that.. good to know

8:49 am

8:50 am

BzznBea

Aloy, have you seen Only Murders in the Building?

8:50 am

hokie carla

8:51 am

hokie carla

8:51 am

Aloyisius

8:52 am

BzznBea

8:53 am

hokie carla

8:53 am

Krysten

jmcnrick

hulu. .

8:54 am

hokie carla

krysten. I know canada netflix has different things on it than US netflix from my travels there.

8:55 am

Krysten

LOL...beat me to it hokie

8:55 am

hokie carla

ðŸ˜

8:55 am

jmcnrick

ah yeah I had that problem when the boy would recommend things on british tv.

8:55 am

hokie carla

maybe mr. bea is bootlegging it somehow

8:56 am

BzznBea

I wouldn't doubt that!

8:57 am

hokie carla

8:57 am

9:39 am

Aloyisius

zoozzoom

Yes birds love fatballs, Welki!

9:45 am

welki

heh - fatballs

9:46 am

zoozzoom

I used to buy my fatballs as once I tried to make them myself and when you melted the lard down and added the seeds it really was a horrible smell. Stunk the whole house out.

9:47 am

welki

add some mealworms to the mix and it smells like a CSI scene

9:47 am

zoozzoom

Ewww!

9:48 am

10:39 am

mattygroves

And nothing from the U in the fourth row, fourth column

10:41 am

hokie carla

weird, how they popped right out at me and I never see the big ones. un7/8 from there, matty. and mo8/9 - have same ending.

10:46 am

rururocks

i need to refrain from commenting

10:48 am

hokie carla

don't worry, we made all those jokes earlier

10:49 am

rururocks

oh good.. then I don't have to chip in

10:56 am

72 Temple Owl

11:01 am

mattygroves

Ooh, I'm back and now looking for that un and mo. Thanks

11:02 am

mattygroves

Are they words I'm likely to be familiar with?

11:02 am

jmcnrick

yes Matty

11:06 am

72 Temple Owl

matty, was chatting about tea with someone who recommended PG tips as the only tea her britisih DIL drinks. Do you have any opinion? I have been tyring teas and not completely satisfied with them

11:06 am

mattygroves

Found it! We drink PG Tips - it's my favourite for bog standard builder's tea

11:07 am

mattygroves

I mean, it won't set your world alight, but it's definitely my favourite 'standard' tea

11:07 am

72 Temple Owl

um...

11:07 am

mattygroves

I'm drinking a cup right now!

11:07 am

mattygroves

Found the M and the Us - thank you!

11:08 am

72 Temple Owl

11:08 am

72 Temple Owl

LOL how funny, i just finished one!

11:08 am

mattygroves

May I have stats for the G please?

11:08 am

cybernan

good morning all

11:09 am

72 Temple Owl

we found it at a grovery outlet, but I am sure wegemans would have it.

11:09 am

72 Temple Owl

i've decided to begin dirnking tea gain. i am hoping it helps with cholesterol.

11:09 am

jmcnrick

hi cyber

11:10 am

cybernan

Apparently there is a ga 7, but I haven't found it

11:11 am

jmcnrick

ga 7/56 ga 4/11

11:12 am

cybernan

Tea? If from the grocercy store I buy Twinnings (usually Lady Grey), but miy favourite is Murchie's EArl Grey which you have to order online and idk if they ship to the states or do you have "David's Tea" outlets in you malls? They make good tea blends as well.

11:12 am

mattygroves

Should have seen the four. Ta, looking for the 7

11:12 am

72 Temple Owl

it's a longer name for the needle nosed fish

11:12 am

jmcnrick

yw

11:12 am

72 Temple Owl

i do not care for bergamot

11:12 am

cybernan

If you want something that will help with the cholesterol, eat oatmeal porridge!

11:13 am

72 Temple Owl

ty not looking for recommendations at this time.

11:13 am

72 Temple Owl

just tea

11:13 am

72 Temple Owl

pg tips tobe precise

11:14 am

cybernan

Then #10 snf #22 blends in the Murchie's are good, or if you like a strong tea try the "English Breakfast"

11:14 am

72 Temple Owl

usually drink orange pekoe sometimes green, as well

11:15 am

72 Temple Owl

but lost my taste for hot tea.

11:27 am

cybernan

found a ga 4/11, but no way to make it a 7

11:27 am

Marjetta

My current favorite tea is white peach from Stash Tea Company. I also like their maple apple too, though I mix that one with black tea.

11:28 am

cybernan

Stash teas are quite strong to my taste.

11:28 am

rururocks

i mix English Breakfast with Black Currant for ice tea

11:29 am

cybernan

Twinnings has an orange flavoured one that I like for iced tea

11:30 am

hokie carla

nan, the ga7 is two fish stuck together. I ended up looking it up though as I didn't have the 2nd fish at the time and couldn't see it.

11:31 am

hokie carla

I cannot like tea.

11:31 am

origami

I drink Earl Gray. Ru loves green tea, right? :D

11:31 am

cybernan

11:31 am

Marjetta

paid

11:31 am

hokie carla

well, the 2nd one does begin with P

11:32 am

hokie carla

the p is also a road in some places

11:32 am

cybernan

but not the one that rhymes with what you drive into the ground or railway tie

11:33 am

cybernan

nm - found it, but sure don't see it as an extension of the ga 4

11:34 am

hokie carla

who said it was?

11:34 am

cybernan

ty carla

11:34 am

hokie carla

and it is the one that rhymes with those

11:34 am

cybernan

last night someone said it was a ga 4 -7 combo

11:35 am

hokie carla

ah

11:35 am

hokie carla

yeah, they are unrelated

11:35 am

cybernan

* or possibly I just read it that way -- was really tired at the time

11:38 am

cybernan

missed the chat yesterday --- isn't it nice that the Aussie gov't stuck to it's guns? So glad the sent a message to the world's celebrities that rules are meant to be obeyed!

11:39 am

11:39 am

rururocks
