happy birthday to them!

Wow, what news. People are voluntarily going to the Ukraine to fight for them. Since the US and Canada are declining to send troops, people are just going their to fight in what is being called an international legion.
8:16 am
hokie carla
oh, for an H next to the G
8:21 am
MollyL
Ghee, really?
8:21 am
hokie carla
struggling with that D
8:22 am
hokie carla
and the o
8:22 am
hokie carla
so many phantoms that just need an H
8:27 am
hokie carla
turns out I'm struggling on all tiles. is it just me or is this a hard grid?
8:28 am
BzznBea
It's not an easy grid. Just a lot of words that aren't the usual.
8:28 am
MollyL
You're SOAT? That's too bad.
8:28 am
hokie carla
total SOAT
8:29 am
MollyL
What? Not totes?
8:29 am
hokie carla
actually I did get half on 3 tiles in the first 2 rows.
8:29 am
BzznBea
I'm always sad when gotta doesn't work.
8:30 am
hokie carla
me too, bea. so much crap slang accepted, but not that.
8:30 am
MollyL
If Carla had her H there would be oughta too
8:34 am
hokie carla
I'm always surprised agua is not accepted too
8:36 am
BzznBea
You did use the word with a differnt end vowel, right?
8:36 am
MollyL
It is bizarre what foreign words it will take and what foreign words it won't take. It takes merde but not merci.
8:36 am
hokie carla
fever word? yes
8:37 am
MollyL
Bea is blurting? Who knew?
8:37 am
hokie carla
agreed, very random on the foreign words.
8:39 am
hokie carla
the foreign currency not so random as it includes every currency you've never heard of, but random foreign conversation words are just totally random.
8:40 am
MollyL
Oh dear, there is a word that could start THE DISCUSSION
8:41 am

I've got the top three rows greyed except for the R. I'm guessing that would be one of the 8's.
8:43 am

i only have the right column gray... :o|

Serial fisherman maybe
8:48 am
hokie carla
I keep seeing gortex, which is not only a phantom but is also a brand name
8:49 am

When someone flushes blood and guts down the toilet, it creates a gortex
8:50 am

I think it's been said before but obvi the enable nerds never went to a rager
8:53 am
hokie carla
ugh, 58 left after 1st pass. still 5 tiles under half

it's the D, upper O, N, both A's
8:56 am
MollyL
I must confess, I too, have never been to a rager.
8:57 am
rururocks
I was married to one :D
8:57 am

Oh I was definitely married to one, maybe two
8:58 am

I have also never been to a rager, I just think it's funny to call the enable makers nerds.

People used to defend them when I did that. Luckily, that doesn't happen much lately.

how does my tiara look?
9:01 am
BzznBea
It looks lovely on you ru.
9:02 am
MollyL
You should wear sparkly more often
9:02 am
MollyL
And spandex. With a man bun.
9:02 am
BzznBea
The man bun is the worst fashion statement.
9:03 am
hokie carla
ugh, I hate the man bun
9:03 am
MollyL
I agree. Worst fashion statement ever. Hands down.
9:03 am
penquis
Amen to that...
9:03 am
rururocks
I see them all the time here.. always a guy between 23 and jerk
9:04 am
mael
... it might be age dependent, because I like man buns
9:05 am
rururocks
we're talking about on top of the head mael :D
9:05 am
MollyL
I always wonder, what kind of guy looks in the mirror and thinks that looks good?
9:06 am
mael
the kind of guy that looks good in a man bun? lol
9:06 am
MollyL
Why am I not surprised that Mael likes man buns?
9:06 am
mael
and many delusional guys that don't haha
9:06 am
mael
I like beards more than I like man buns, but yeah. Takes a specific kind of guy to pull it off
9:07 am
BzznBea
I too like a well kept beard.
9:08 am
mael
https://tinyurl.com/yxttp28a what's not to like?
9:09 am
hokie carla
I like a well kept beard too. I don't like a really long one, or an amish one on basketball players, etc.
9:09 am
BzznBea
He is definitely a cutie, mael.
9:09 am
mael
oh definitely, short and well kept is the ticket
9:10 am
rururocks
my beard grows out either amish or hasidic jew.. always shave it off eventually
9:10 am
BzznBea
College ball blaers are a mess.
9:11 am
hokie carla
man buns just make me think of really cocky soccer players
9:11 am
MollyL
Good looks are totally ruined by a man bun. That picture proves it.
9:12 am
mael
I think it's funny how slowly but surely every single man in my friends' group caved and grew a beard as they neared 40. Their partners (me included) are a united front on the beard issue
9:13 am
MollyL
I don't blame men for growing beards. I would get tired of shaving my face every day.
9:13 am
hokie carla
mr. homie has had a beard since he retired from the bank like 8 years ago. he has shaved it a couple of times but the boys and I think he just looks weird. 🤣
9:13 am
mael
as the Italian saying goes: il mondo e' bello perche' e' vario. The world is beautiful because it is varied :)
9:13 am
hokie carla
true, I get tired of shaving legs.
9:13 am
MollyL
I think my two sons who have beards look weird without them
9:13 am
rururocks
me too hokie :D
9:14 am
MollyL
Carla, you shave your legs every day?
9:14 am
hokie carla
nope, not even close
9:15 am
hokie carla
finally found the derogatory word!
9:16 am
MollyL
That's what I meant. Guys who don't have a beard have to shave every day.
9:17 am
BzznBea
Mr. B doesn't have a beard and he doesn't shave every day.
9:17 am
hokie carla
I think my friend shaves her legs every day, so some people do.
9:17 am
MollyL
And there are guys (like my youngest) who have to use a five-blade razor because his beard comes in so thick.
9:17 am
MollyL
If I was that freakish about hairless legs I would go for waxing.
9:18 am
BzznBea
I ask him if he is growing a beard. His response is, "I'm always growing a beard."
9:18 am

Any clues for that en 6? Ty

Retired men have the luxury of not shaving every day.
