7:30 am

hurshy

ding ding ding!!!

7:33 am

Scrabbler

Hello all.

7:33 am

hurshy

hey scrabs!

7:33 am

BzznBea

Good morning, Scrabs.

7:33 am

hurshy

how are the bunnies?

7:34 am

Scrabbler

They are adorable. The gate is not up so Fiona is running around like a maniac. Phoebe never leaves the bedroom.

7:34 am

Scrabbler

How are you kitties, Hurshy?

7:34 am

Scrabbler

*your

7:35 am

hurshy

Rilla is an angel, as always. the boys are more troublous.

7:35 am

Scrabbler

Troublous! I bet.

7:36 am

hurshy

Opie's issues stem from the fact that he is the king of everything, so he thinks he ought to be able to do whatever he wants, and punish people if they don't pet him enough, and stuff like that

7:36 am

Scrabbler

Animals' personalities are fascinating.

7:36 am

hurshy

Fritz's issues are more just from being not that bright, not being able to remember what is naughty

7:37 am

hurshy

he WANTS to be good

7:37 am

hurshy

but it is hard

7:37 am

Scrabbler

A special education cat.

7:37 am

hurshy

Rilla is just so temptingly tacklable, and how is he supposed to remember that that is naughty?

7:37 am

hurshy

and how is he supposed to know which things are food and which things are not?

7:37 am

Scrabbler

It is cat behavior.

7:39 am

hurshy

the tackling is, but thankfully, PICA is more rare. he's unusual in that respect.

7:39 am

Scrabbler

Ah.

7:41 am

hurshy

he's gotten better though. i used to be really afraid he was going to kill himself with it. like the time he bit a glass bulb off a strand of twinkle lights and swallowed it

7:41 am

hurshy

jagged edges and all

7:42 am

Scrabbler

Yikes! Did he need surgery?

7:43 am

hurshy

no... he suffered no discernible ill effects.

7:43 am

hurshy

i mean i took him to the emergency vet right away, and they were like, come back if he has any symptoms

7:43 am

hurshy

which he never did

7:44 am

welki

'morning, folks

7:44 am

Scrabbler

It's like when kids swallow stuff. Batteries and magnets are bad but other stuff passes through.

7:45 am

Scrabbler

Hi welki

7:45 am

BzznBea

Morning, welki.

7:45 am

Scrabbler

Bea, how is your mom?

7:46 am

BzznBea

She is well. She will have her second Fasenra shot this week. It has seemed to really help.

7:46 am

BzznBea

Thanks for asking.

7:47 am

Scrabbler

Great.

7:48 am

welki

that's good to hear, bea

7:54 am

hurshy

well, i can't find either the pe7/8 or the eo7

7:54 am

Scrabbler

I have eo5.

7:55 am

hurshy

me too

7:55 am

hurshy

but we can't make the usual 6 by adding a vowel to the end

7:55 am

hurshy

and while you can ionise things, you can't eonise them

7:55 am

welki

but you can believe in them

7:55 am

Scrabbler

No.

7:56 am

hurshy

oh good grief!

7:56 am

hurshy

thanks welki

7:56 am

BzznBea

the pe7/8 is the practice of pe4

7:56 am

hokie carla

howdy

7:56 am

hurshy

double good grief

7:56 am

BzznBea

Hey, Carla.

7:56 am

hurshy

you'd best use those clues right away hokie

7:57 am

Scrabbler

I don't get you clue yet, welki.

7:57 am

hokie carla

well, I would if I was awake enough to get it

7:57 am

hurshy

like if you believe in a God, that's the***, scrabs

7:58 am

Scrabbler

I don't see -ist

7:58 am

hokie carla

ok, thanks for clarifying, bea

7:58 am

hurshy

not the person who. the belief itself

7:59 am

hokie carla

and that helped with my missing i too.

7:59 am

hokie carla

14 left!

7:59 am

Scrabbler

Oh, I was working from eo5, like the blood cell eo5-phile.

7:59 am

hurshy

11 here

7:59 am

hurshy

i have xy4, anyone have the other x?

7:59 am

Scrabbler

Ugh, eo5-ophil.

7:59 am

hokie carla

xy6

8:00 am

hurshy

i thought i tried that. must have tried with C not X

8:00 am

BzznBea

That's ironic as that is why my mom is taking the biologic...too many

8:00 am

Scrabbler

Yes, Bea!

8:01 am

hurshy

3-2-3-2

8:01 am

welki

because it's a monoclonal antibody, do you think it might help if she contracts covid? or is it not prophylactic?

8:01 am

BzznBea

I'm off to the farmer's market. Good day to all!

8:02 am

hokie carla

bye bea!

8:02 am

Scrabbler

Enjoy, Bea.

hokie carla

hey pen

8:03 am

penquis

hey carla...

8:03 am

hokie carla

oh, 11 hurshy. I missed 1 of the clues when I got here.

8:03 am

hokie carla

3-4-3-1

8:05 am

Scrabbler

Monoclonal antibodies are very specific. I can't recall what was used for the Alpha and Delta variants but they don't work for Omicron so sotrovimab is specific for that.

8:05 am

Scrabbler

HI penquis

8:05 am

penquis

hi scrabs....

8:07 am

welki

thanks, scrabs - too bad they're not a one-size-fits-all sort of thing

8:07 am

periwinkle

not seeing pe7/8 even with a clue

8:07 am

hokie carla

a belief in lowly workers

8:08 am

Scrabbler

pe4/5 + one ending to hedon***.

8:08 am

periwinkle

ty Scrabs new words for me

8:08 am

Scrabbler

welki, the biologic meds are hard to learn and to pronounce.

8:08 am

hokie carla

8:10 am

hurshy

life is so full of disappointments

8:11 am

Scrabbler

BRB with breakfast.

8:12 am

MollyL

It's Kentucky Derby Day. Put on your big hats and grab a mint julep.

8:13 am

hokie carla

keep trying to make moxy and sych(e) work

8:13 am

hokie carla

oh, I didn't even realize. think I gave my hats away when we moved.

8:13 am

hokie carla

one of my former neighbors used to have a party every year that we had to wear hats to

8:13 am

hurshy

i'm sucking on a mint flavored zinc tablet, that'll have to suffice.

8:14 am

hurshy

oho, got my E!

8:14 am

hokie carla

my last c's were a pair, so I can only guess yours is the goodbye soundalike

8:14 am

hokie carla

or maybe a descriptor for a big busted woman

8:14 am

hurshy

no i have that

8:15 am

hurshy

yes, that second one

8:15 am

hurshy

for S, let's see, do you have si4?

8:15 am

hokie carla

so would you care to guess my m's?

8:15 am

MollyL

A mint flavored zinc tablet. What a party animal.

8:15 am

hurshy

i can't, i'm missing two Ms also

8:15 am

hokie carla

I did not, thanks

8:16 am

hokie carla

do you have the mexican money? I miss that a lot. or there's a similar pair.

8:16 am

LuvWordGames

do you have mo 4/10 and mo 5/22?

8:16 am

hurshy

i have the money, maybe not the "similar pair"

8:17 am

hurshy

oHO, thanks luv

8:17 am

8:17 am

hokie carla

H S TT for me as well

8:17 am

hurshy

oh mine are 0-0-2-2

8:18 am

hokie carla

I did get the hawaiian H today if anyone asks

8:18 am

hurshy

so you have a 7 that i haven't got

8:18 am

hokie carla

oh, there's a weird sp7 I saw called at the flip and was able to monkey

8:18 am

hurshy

ty

8:19 am

hurshy

let me see... do you have s + what scrabs helps people do with their illnesses and injuries?

8:19 am

hokie carla

ooh, found my S

8:20 am

hokie carla

it was what something does when it leaks through

8:20 am

hurshy

so most likely there is a T7

8:20 am

hokie carla

so I'm going to assume the T's are T6/7

8:20 am

hurshy

one hopes

8:20 am

hokie carla

so you need an H6 too?

8:20 am

hurshy

well i need an H

8:20 am

hokie carla

(or maybe H7)

8:21 am

LuvWordGames

does the xy 6 build off the 4?

8:21 am

hurshy

theoretically it could also be two T6 and an H7

8:21 am

hokie carla

yes

8:21 am

hurshy

yes luv

8:21 am

LuvWordGames

thanks

8:21 am

hurshy

aHA it is he6/36

8:21 am

LuvWordGames

I swear I tried that

8:23 am

hokie carla

anything I've ever heard of?

8:24 am

hurshy

probably only in babble

8:24 am

hurshy

iti's sciency

8:24 am

LuvWordGames

the he 6? ends like the sp

8:24 am

LuvWordGames

sp 7 I should have said

8:24 am

hokie carla

ah, thanks, both

8:25 am

hokie carla

hokie carla

thanks, got them. I had tried that several times as a TO.

8:28 am

hokie carla

TADA

8:28 am

LuvWordGames

tu 6/27... sounds like what ZZ Top was just looking for

8:28 am

hurshy

i never like a cute clue to go to waste

8:28 am

hokie carla

pen, did you see there are 73 words on the bee today?

8:29 am

hokie carla

and 3 pangrams

8:29 am

hurshy

i figured there must be a lot of words on the bee because it let me find a lot more, i am pretty sure it lets you find some percent of them if you are a non-subscriber

8:29 am

penquis

no...haven't checked the Bee yet....

8:31 am

hokie carla

I agree with that assessment, hurshy, from when I was a non-subscriber

8:36 am

hokie carla

and BTW, have only found 1 pangram and 38 words, so just at great

8:39 am

penquis

well i have slowed to a crawl with 15 left....i think i will check out the Bee...bbl to finish....bye all...

not familiar with ZZ Top...any other clue for the tu6 & 7?

1:56 pm

Kamanjah

ZZ sang "Legs" about a hot woman.

1:59 pm

phaeton

ty...don't see how to get a tu6 out of that

2:00 pm

Vicuna

The clue was to a different ZZ Top song. One that references the body part atop the legs. The tu6 actually is a material used in printmaking, but it sounds like the derriere.

2:06 pm
