7:08 am

hokie carla

every time I think I have it it's from the upper i ðŸ˜

7:09 am

Lorrie_in_SA

I think that one is ik 4/8...

7:09 am

hokie carla

aha, so it is. thanks, lorrie

7:09 am

Lorrie_in_SA

yw :)

7:21 am

hokie carla

ewww, 46 A's

7:22 am

hokie carla

7:22 am

hokie carla

7:28 am

Shirlockc

wow, big 'un

7:29 am

player girl

I hate K's; they are my nemesis - - - and we have 31??!!

7:30 am

hokie carla

oh geez, hadn't noticed that either.

7:47 am

hokie carla

well, first pass complete. 174 left. ðŸ˜. and 3 tiles with more than half left.

8:14 am

BzznBea

phantom - margarine

8:17 am

rururocks

that's just the grid trying to butter us up bea

8:25 am

hurshy

wowee!!

8:27 am

hurshy

mental note: try it even if you don't see how it connects

8:27 am

marksdolly

for sure!

8:30 am

hurshy

bother, i thought i was so clever to get sarnies and it doesn't even count

8:37 am

MollyL

Is Bea getting kinky with the butter again?

8:38 am

MollyL

Mental note: Hurshy's comment will not work for all words. Neither will "add S to everything" (commonly said about grids with multiple S's)

8:40 am

hokie carla

my break helped - HOET!

8:40 am

rururocks

anyone know what the ten begins with?

8:40 am

hokie carla

not me

8:41 am

Uneaixoise

Gr

8:41 am

hokie carla

but I have a guess on what it ends with

8:41 am

hokie carla

or not

8:42 am

hokie carla

thanks, une

8:42 am

hokie carla

and vampire shows/books

8:48 am

rururocks

oooh i found it

8:49 am

hokie carla

wow, I've never found a big one before ruru ðŸ˜œðŸ¤£

8:50 am

MollyL

Okay, I'm not touching that one

8:51 am

rururocks

lol...you should have known better hokie

8:52 am

hokie carla

I did, hence the smilies

8:53 am

MollyL

No clue what vampire shows/books was about

8:53 am

phaeton

hello...may I have the stats for the lone i pls?

8:54 am

hokie carla

the vampire that makes a new vampire is the *, so the vampire that made a vampire that made a new one is the GR9

8:54 am

hokie carla

ik4, phae

8:54 am

phaeton

ty

8:54 am

MollyL

It's a horse word Carla

8:55 am

hokie carla

I know it has real meaning

8:55 am

rururocks

it was nagging at me a bit the gr10

8:55 am

hokie carla

but it is used often in vampire books and stuff

8:55 am

LuvWordGames

does it start with another word for a thousand?

8:55 am

hokie carla

you need to re4 it in, ruru

8:56 am

rururocks

i knew I was in the Neigh-borhood

8:56 am

phaeton

ty ru

8:56 am

hokie carla

you just trying to stirrup something?

8:57 am

rururocks

just trying to rein you in

8:57 am

rururocks

i was chomping at the bit to find it though

8:57 am

hokie carla

guess I bit the pun-thread bait

8:58 am

hokie carla

you needed something to spur you on, old chap?

8:58 am

rururocks

yeah we're back in the saddle so to speak

8:58 am

MollyL

It would behoof you all to cease and desist

8:59 am

hokie carla

molly has to throw her hat in

8:59 am

hokie carla

she's giving us the boot

9:00 am

MollyL

Oh jeez, serenity now!

9:01 am

rururocks

we need to corral hokie in

9:01 am

BzznBea

Thanks gor the 10.

9:01 am

rururocks

gor welcome

9:01 am

hokie carla

our endless punning helped, bea?

9:02 am

BzznBea

No, I am not very punny.

9:02 am

MollyL

Okay, if you can plural the 9 why can't you past tense it?

9:02 am

hokie carla

because enable

9:04 am

MollyL

It will take the "father" version of that word in the past tense. Idiots.

9:04 am

hurshy

well it's just a noun, not a verb. that's like asking why you can have "lamps" but not "lamped". and fathering is, you see, more active than the verb you propose :)

9:05 am

MollyL

No idea what that means, but thanks, I think

9:07 am

hokie carla

I agree with Molly, if the 2nd part of the compound is allowed to be PT, then it should be.

9:07 am

hurshy

but the second part is used as a verb. the compound isn't.

9:07 am

hokie carla

but why isn't it?

9:08 am

hurshy

i think because of what i said. to father someone you must take an action. to move from father to gr5father, someone else must act, not you.

9:09 am

hokie carla

ok

9:09 am

rururocks

literally

9:09 am

hurshy

yes, literally

9:10 am

mael

Hay, I don't think it's fair that I missed all the horse puns

9:11 am

hokie carla

life isn't fair, mael ðŸ˜œ

9:11 am

hokie carla

if there was a way to bale them up together for you to read...

9:12 am

rururocks

nothing gets pasture hokie

9:12 am

hokie carla

phantom katniss (yes, a fictional name so not enabled)

9:12 am

hokie carla

I can see our earlier puns were just a drop in the bucket

9:14 am

rururocks

we're all in this equinely

9:17 am

hurshy

and jockeying for position

9:17 am

hokie carla

oh, hurshy trying to horn in

9:18 am

rururocks

no.. just trying to spur on the conversation

9:19 am

rururocks

this grid is exhausting me a bit

9:20 am

hokie carla

same

9:20 am

hokie carla

132 left and about to get to work.

9:21 am

cybernan

9:43 am

hurshy

9:43 am

mael

9:44 am

hokie carla

oh, can just find one of the small N

9:44 am

mael

it's two n4s

9:44 am

hokie carla

for some reason I've tried nikes 2x even though I know it's a brand name.

9:44 am

hokie carla

oh gee, I was missing the easier one, thanks.

9:45 am

mael

9:45 am

hokie carla

9:45 am

hurshy

9:48 am

BzznBea

I've got all the vowels grey. Think I'll get dressed.

9:48 am

hokie carla

well, I'm going to have to get busy and save 95 for later. only 14 4's left. not a good %. but at least I have half the 8's and only 1 9 left. ugh, 20 7s and 28 6's. that is bad news bears.

9:48 am

hurshy

9:52 am

mael

9:52 am

9:55 am

9:57 am

mael

that's not a de clue, nancy, sorry. just how the mi7 looks on the board

9:59 am

mael

deink should be what tattoo removal is called

9:59 am

9:59 am

hurshy

10:04 am

hurshy

50 to go!

10:06 am

cybernan

ty carla - not a commonly used word anymore

10:06 am

hurshy

i think the context in which i've heard it was in bell-ringing, there are different patterns and one is the gr9 triples

10:06 am

hokie carla

unless you watch vampire movies ðŸ˜œ

10:07 am

cybernan

no and no

10:07 am

cybernan

haven't done any bell ringing either

10:07 am

rururocks

vampire is a sucky clue hokie

10:07 am

hurshy

well one of my favorite books is The Nine Tailors and it's got a bell-ringing motif

10:07 am

hokie carla

well, the dictionary link says only the relative clue

10:07 am

hokie carla

oh, ruru is out for blood

10:08 am

cybernan
