Greetings everyone

sprite

good afternoon babblers

4:49 am

sprite

wow this is a really fun grid

4:54 am

sprite

hm.... guess there is no singular for bowels.

5:22 am

Kamanjah

Hi Sprite, if you're still here. I'm just about ready to give up and go sleep!

5:23 am

sprite

sleep well, Kam, and sweet dreams

5:26 am

Kamanjah

Thanks! Good to see you for a few seconds! Take good care, my friend.

5:26 am

sprite

*giggles* right, longer wouldn't be as good ;)

5:35 am

lbdawger

Howdy Sprite! how ya doing?

5:36 am

sprite

hiya dawg! Pretty good, and you?

5:36 am

lbdawger

I'm melting! it's blistering hot here!

5:37 am

sprite

argh, that is not fun. We had some scorchers here as well, today is better though. Hope things will cool down a bit for you soon.

5:38 am

lbdawger

Mother nature has been having some severe hot flashes lately for everyone! and we're into fire season here too, so between the heat from the sun, we're getting smoke and heat from the fires. UGH!!

5:39 am

sprite

that must be so scary. And uncomfortable with the smoke and heat too.

5:42 am

lbdawger

It is scary. it's been so dry up here that we're really just a tinderbox waiting for the flame. Most locals know how to deal with this scenario. Unfortunately, tourists are not as aware or conscious to their actions.

5:43 am

sprite

people tend to be so very stupid. Especially when on vacation. It is hard for me to imagine not taking people's lives and properties seriously.

5:45 am

sprite

fireflies. Oh no, I mean... putting-out-fireflies! Bye dawg, stay cool and safe... you guys are in my prayers.

5:45 am

lbdawger

heck they don't take their own lives seriously, trying to hug a grizzly or pet a bison is mind boggling. Had some guy trying to pet a mountain goat! wildlife score is pretty high 9-0

5:45 am

sprite

and to you all a blessed day and a peaceful night. *leaves hug in chog for ro4 to find*

5:45 am

lbdawger

take care Sprite! stay cool too!

5:46 am

sprite

basically, that kind of stupid at least only harms the idiots. Sounds like candidates for the darwin awards website. *poofs, shaking head*

Big grid. Yippee.

8:30 am

Uneaixoise

Two fat bunnies munching in backyard.....love watching them.....they come every morning!! :-)

8:31 am

Scrabbler

Aw, how adorable. I have a guest bunny here at Rabbitat. Giacomo has been here for 2 weeks while his family went to Italy.

8:32 am

Uneaixoise

How cool!

8:34 am

Scrabbler

He has been here 3-4 times in the past and has his own bedroom. The girls are downstairs in their own room.

8:34 am

melonheadjujube

My son and I take an evening walk we call "bunny patrol."

8:34 am

Scrabbler

Fun! Rabbits make me smile and laugh.

8:34 am

Uneaixoise

Me too!

8:35 am

melonheadjujube

I'm trying a new thing on the grid.I start my next word with the last letter (in the right location) of the word I finished. Of course I should have started with the Qu today? I do this just for fun.

8:35 am

Scrabbler

There are no rabbits outside around here. I suspect raptors ate them up long ago.

8:35 am

hurshy

do you play Letter Boxed on the NYT website, melon?

8:35 am

HarryHood

we've got lots of hawks AND lots of rabbits

8:36 am

Scrabbler

I just noticed the Qu. TY, melon.

8:36 am

melonheadjujube

sure do, hurshy!

8:36 am

hurshy

:)

8:36 am

Scrabbler

How many word games can I play? Wordle, Phrazle, Waffle, Lexulous...

8:36 am

melonheadjujube

There's a post on fb where we compare solutions. two words is the goal, but sometimes the three word answers are hilarious.

8:37 am

melonheadjujube

Yeah, Wordle, Quordle, Byrdle (choral music), Absurdle, Spelling Bee, lexulous, etc. I should look up Phrazle and Waffle.

8:39 am

8:40 am

melonheadjujube

I'm running out to get a Sunday NYT. I still like actual paper[s]. Ciao for now!

8:40 am

Scrabbler

I have tried Quordle and I think Secordle but those are difficult.

8:41 am

hurshy

i found that the key to Quordle is a good set of starting words

8:41 am

hurshy

mine are WHINY GRUMP FATED BLOCK

8:41 am

hokie carla

I always start quordle with ready, moist, and then do flung or clung

8:44 am

Scrabbler

Good advice, carla.

8:45 am

hokie carla

well, I do occasionally fail, so maybe hurshy's are better

8:51 am

welki

'morning, folks (i start wordle with either ourie or adieu - never thought about a completely different word for the next. sounds like a good strategy)

8:51 am

hokie carla

on wordle I adjust my 2nd word based on any hits for the first

8:51 am

HarryHood

fun grid! first pass complete, nbt, nbs, and HOET :)

hokie carla

9:52 am

HarryHood

9:53 am

hurshy

puzzling over that clue, ru

9:53 am

hokie carla

yeah, I couldn't think of anything either

9:54 am

rururocks

like you're about to die

9:56 am

hurshy

you're not talking about fe5/6?

9:56 am

rururocks

oh ooops.. yes.. my fault

9:56 am

rururocks

9:56 am

hokie carla

9:56 am

hokie carla

9:57 am

hokie carla

9:58 am

rururocks

finito.. nice grid today.. just challenging enough

9:59 am

hokie carla

lol, well done

10:19 am

hokie carla

restain is not a word?

10:19 am

hokie carla

oh, the enable re- mysteries

10:19 am

hurshy

yeah i really thought that would work also

10:21 am

hurshy

also thought an en7 would work where you change the last letter of the one we do have, but apparently that can only exist as a plural

10:58 am

cybernan

good morning all -- just in from fixing up the mess the painters made of the stucco

11:04 am

periwinkle

hi nan, hello all

11:04 am

bichon

hi peri, nan

11:09 am

bichon

We jusr finished with the painters. They did a great job

11:10 am

periwinkle

help with fo8 please

11:10 am

MollyL

Yes, we were told earlier that there is no singular of bowels. ðŸ˜’

11:11 am

cybernan

this idiot used masking tape (he was painting the door surrounds) and when he pulled the tape off, some of the stucco paint came with it. Thank goodness I had some of the stucco paint in the back of a garage cupboard.

11:11 am

MollyL

Wish I had the money for painters.

11:11 am

hokie carla

I just saved us $8500!

11:11 am

MollyL

fo8 is a guy who works the woods

11:12 am

periwinkle

ty Molly I did not have the base word

11:12 am

cybernan

I don't think this guy was a painter - more of a handyman. It is almost impossible to find tradespeople for small jobs around here - there is so much construction going on they just aren't interested.

11:12 am

hokie carla

same around here, nan

11:13 am

MollyL

My painting days are over. I did it myself for years.

11:13 am

hokie carla

guess I don't have that fo base word

11:14 am

hokie carla

aha

11:14 am

periwinkle

lots of trees carla

11:14 am

bichon

Molly, it was very expensive. They had to take the wallpaper down and sand the walls

11:14 am

hokie carla

I couldn't see it for the tr5

11:15 am

MollyL

I was going to start singing little rabbit foo foo

11:16 am

MollyL

I've never unders

11:16 am

MollyL

understood the attraction to wallpaper., It is a pain to put up and a pain to take down

11:17 am

cybernan

this was very expensive too - but there was a lot of filling and sanding to do and I didn't think I could do it myself.

11:17 am

bichon

Was there when we moved in. It was okay until it started to peel

11:18 am

dcseain

sometimes paying others is the right thing.

11:19 am

cybernan

this is freep's day and I haven't seen her ehre
