6:23 am

Scrabbler

I saw the article. Any update on the 4 injured folks?

6:23 am

Scrabbler

Do you have much contact with him?

6:24 am

ItalianGreyhound

just by text - hes always been a little different

6:27 am

Scrabbler

As long as he is happy.

6:28 am

Scrabbler

Sure, stats for the 9s.

6:32 am

ItalianGreyhound

6:33 am

ItalianGreyhound

PR 9/66 (plural) - looks chemical-ish

6:34 am

ItalianGreyhound

and DE 9/72 (plural) ends with fence opening(s)

6:34 am

Scrabbler

TY, I will look.

6:35 am

Scrabbler

I have the de8 and 9, TY.

6:38 am

ItalianGreyhound

one PR uses the SW plant ---- brush

6:39 am

Scrabbler

Hm

6:40 am

Scrabbler

Cactus? Tumbleweed?

6:41 am

ItalianGreyhound

"an aromatic shrub from the family Asteraceae"

6:43 am

Scrabbler

Aha, Google helped me with those 4 letters.

6:43 am

Scrabbler

So now I have pr7 and 8/60.

6:44 am

bichon

IG, could I please have more of that clue

6:44 am

ItalianGreyhound

MollyL

Middle E?

8:41 am

8:41 am

MollyL

Oh, as in the middle of three of them.

8:41 am

phaeton

8:41 am

penquis

yup...

8:41 am

penquis

it's a little twisty....

8:41 am

hokie carla

recognizable to people who don't know french?

8:42 am

penquis

well that's hard for me to answer....i can give a definition if you'd like....

8:42 am

MollyL

Yes, it is furniture

8:42 am

hokie carla

ok, I have something on the edge of my mind, but gotta go. BBL.

8:43 am

penquis

bye, carla...

8:43 am

MollyL

Somehow it was important to add that "on the edge of her mind" thing

8:44 am

penquis

well most of what is said in chat is not important.. ;o)

8:48 am

MollyL

That is good because lately, chat has been hard to understand sometimes. Especially when they talk in that numbers code that only like 3 people understand.

8:50 am

penquis

well it is what it is...

8:51 am

penquis

i can ignore it or pay attention to it....easier than real life conversations...

8:51 am

HarryHood

70 to go. tough going now.

8:51 am

penquis

yes....69 here and moseying....

9:01 am

HarryHood

60 to go. taking a break. have fun!

9:03 am

MollyL

I like that you can turn chat off. I do that when it gets exclusive to a certain three or when it's time for the morning blurting. ðŸ˜Š

9:12 am

10:04 am

mael

10:08 am

10:17 am

10:18 am

10:20 am

mael

I have no 9s so I'm even less help

10:24 am

mael

but I am prediet, I guess

10:24 am

rururocks

it is another pr9

10:24 am

rururocks

just found it

10:25 am

hurshy

clue?

10:26 am

rururocks

not against + consonant and duck :D

10:26 am

hurshy

ty!

10:26 am

hurshy

90% done!

10:27 am

moolingwa

70% done :)

10:28 am

cybernan

guess I'm looking at the wrong duck, because the only 2 available consonants aren't working for me

10:29 am

rururocks

it's a word that will make you quackers nan

10:30 am

mael

I must be looking at the wrong duck too

10:30 am

hurshy

the clue ruru gave makes an 8, you plural it for 9

10:31 am

cybernan

that doesn't work either hurshy

10:31 am

periwinkle

hi all back to find more words. help with pr9/66 please

10:31 am

mael

it does work, thank you!

10:32 am

mael

ru just clued it and hursh clarified, peri :)

10:32 am

cybernan

all I can see is that the t and the r are the only available consonants to precede the duck(s) and neither are accepted

10:32 am

rururocks

hey come on.. at least i found it jeez

10:32 am

vashongin

peri - people who can see in the future

10:32 am

periwinkle

ty just saw ru's clue. ty ruru

10:33 am

periwinkle

and hurshy

10:33 am

cybernan

is it the duck in the corner you are using?

10:33 am

mael

you did great ru, just bad luck that there's two ducks haha

10:33 am

mael

there are two ducks in the corner nan

10:33 am

sukee

I can't see a duck

10:34 am

mael

wait, UI just realized that the ei4 is not a duck

10:34 am

mael

it's a plural

10:34 am

mael

shorten the duck, nan

10:34 am

cybernan

two ducks as as in a plural or as in two different spellings

10:35 am

sukee

lol, and I got it. I didn't know that was a duck :)

10:35 am

mael

not a duck, I'm all wrong. Use the ei4/5 and then plural that

10:35 am

mael

this is a fowl conversation

10:35 am

cybernan

got it -- I didn't know it was a duck either

10:36 am

MollyL

Wow, I am amazed. That word gets clued as a duck all the time here.

10:36 am

sukee

I have never seen it

10:36 am

MollyL

The down used from it is named after the duck.

10:37 am

sukee

I figured that out now :)

10:37 am

mael

the ei5 is a duck, the ei4 is a plural of... a different ei5 (that is not in the grid today)

10:37 am

hurshy

spelling bee guy doesn't accept "ceil"!

10:38 am

cybernan

looked up the ei 4 -- and it seems to be everything from computer technology to a village somehere, but no duck

10:39 am

mael

the ei4 is the plural of eidos, a philosophical concept

10:39 am

mael

thanks, greek

10:39 am

MollyL

The 4 may not actually mean duck but it gets clued that way a lot here

10:39 am

origami

We need to get our ducks in a row here.

10:40 am

mael

that's why I thought it was a duck until I finally looked it up haha

10:40 am

rururocks

I ought to send a bill for my cluing

10:40 am

mael

it's a wild goose chase of a clue

10:40 am

MollyL

Ru, I am doing my best to defend your clue, but you know how people get here.

10:41 am

rururocks

well it's the foie de gras of complaining :D

10:41 am

mael

I'm sure Ru's feathers aren't ruffled

10:41 am

origami

Let's not go down a rabbit hole.

10:42 am

rururocks

well I'll be plucked if I give another clue

10:43 am

rururocks

I never realized Molly it wasn't a duck :D

10:43 am

hurshy

daffy donald daisy

10:43 am

origami

Well, if it walks like a duck ...

10:44 am

mael

the only person who realized it wasn't a duck was nan, apparently

10:44 am

rururocks

*note to self.. clue eide as almost a duck from here on out*

10:45 am

MollyL

People are getting real specific about clues lately. I clued amazon the other day as "they deliver your packages" and the response was that the clue was not clear because all of that players packages do not come from amazon. Do they come from another company that starts with AM?

10:45 am

cybernan

only because I kept trying to add the duck and it wasn't working

10:46 am

cybernan

time for me to get some breakfast -- bbl, still have a long way to go

10:46 am

cybernan

don't know where I'm going to find 14 more j's!

10:47 am

hurshy

Ls Lambasted!

10:52 am

origami

Why "taco" is accepted and "torta" is not makes no sense.

10:54 am

rururocks

because you can't have your cake with enable and eat it too

10:55 am

mael

lol

10:55 am

MollyL

Because Enable states that it only includes "some" foreign words. We get no explanation for what makes the cut off. It has something to do with how many dictionaries a word appears in.

10:55 am

mael

the day enable will finally accept ramen will be declared a national holiday

10:56 am

mael

nay, an international holiday

10:57 am

origami

:D

10:59 am

rururocks

it'd have to be a umaminous agreement

11:00 am

MollyL

A national holiday for ramen? Just thinking about that stuff makes me queasy.

11:02 am

origami

Real ramen is wonderful - not like the icky dry packaged crap.

11:03 am

rururocks

10 j's to go ugh

11:08 am

MollyL

My last 8 were gibberish

11:12 am

rururocks

I always struggle with J and K words

11:12 am

hurshy

11:16 am

hurshy

woot, passed 300 words!

11:16 am

rururocks

at least Alex Jones is going to have to pay out money to the Sandy Hook families. I love seeing that

11:18 am

Uneaixoise

Heard the amount is going to increase so much, Infowars may have to fold! Woohoo!

11:19 am

rururocks

no more shitty supplements

11:19 am

saanichcat

That was the first of many families to make claims too

11:19 am

Uneaixoise

Yes

11:19 am

rururocks

i hope he goes bankrupt completely

11:19 am

saanichcat

11:19 am

saanichcat

crap

11:20 am

rururocks

next Lindsay Graham is taken to the cleaners

11:21 am

rururocks

I agree Saanich

11:21 am

rururocks

11:22 am

rururocks

11:23 am

saanichcat

just looked up the tape...well, well, well.

11:24 am

rururocks

11:25 am

11:53 am

justafreep

11:55 am

rururocks

12:30 pm

12:30 pm

Thank you :-)

welki

... over 1 hour holding for the i.r.s. any minute, i expect they'll disconnect us

1:00 pm

dianedecoder

......and they usually play crappy music !

1:00 pm

cybernan

my sympathies -- went through that with rbchr and cra for 3 months

1:03 pm

welki

the music is terrible - and occasionally distorted, so it sounds like impending disconnect

1:04 pm

welki

but! i just spoke with someone, she took my info - says she'll put me on hold for 5-7 minutes, but i'm not hopeful. the music keeps cutting out (beats me why i think that's a signal for an oncoming disconnect)

1:04 pm

cybernan

and then the person you get transfers you to someone else and you answer the same questions from the same robot all over again then spend some more time on hold

1:04 pm

hokie carla

I guess it's the same everywherre?

1:05 pm

marksdolly

hi Hokie!

1:05 pm

welki

yes, it's pretty much the same in canada and the usa

1:05 pm

hokie carla

my mom went through a lot of hoops when my dad died to prove that he was dead, and then the IRS sent a refund check for their joint return just in his name. ridiculous.

1:06 pm

hokie carla

hello dolly! and everyone else.

1:06 pm

welki

it's the handbone not connected to the brainbone

1:06 pm

cybernan

anyone have a clue for the je 7-8 combo, please?

1:07 pm

hokie carla

I have not made it to J and just noticed there are 25 ðŸ˜¡

1:07 pm

marksdolly

think of a place to park a HUGE airplane

1:07 pm

welki

nan, a shortened version of the singer famous for 'when you're hot, you're hot' or 'amos moses'

1:07 pm

marksdolly

or a very fast one, but a place to park it

1:08 pm

cybernan

monkeyed it

1:08 pm

welki

(two je 7/8 combos)

1:09 pm

cybernan

just got to the 2nd one now- lol

1:09 pm

cybernan

no idea on the singer if that was the clue for it

1:10 pm

hokie carla

me either on the singer, so I was thinking it was older

1:13 pm

cybernan

don't know the song either

1:14 pm

hokie carla

I don't know amos moses, but have heard the first one

1:15 pm

hokie carla

ok, first pass finished, HOET and 86 left. gotta get back to work.

1:15 pm

cybernan

looked up amos moses -- it was a clue for the first 7-8 combo, not the last

1:15 pm

welki

add another consonant

1:16 pm

cybernan

there is already a double consonant in the first je 7-8

1:16 pm

welki

marksdolly clued the other one for you

1:20 pm

cybernan

don't see anything remotely resembling a garage or hangar for those modes of transport

1:21 pm

cybernan

see it now -- had to look it up on the word list though --- just wasn't thinking on the right track.

1:22 pm

cybernan

thanks for the help everyone and hagd :)

one sounds like a word for using a certain hair restorer again ;)

3:05 pm

3:05 pm

hokie carla

there is a PR 7/8/8/9 set, mkg. let me pr7 that with a warning

3:05 pm

moolingwa

another means to foretell or to be a foreboding omen I guess

3:06 pm

mkg

Hair restorer? Hmmm/ like conditioner?

3:06 pm

moolingwa

or perhaps it's before a certain herb :)

3:06 pm

moolingwa

well it literally means to detract, but there was a certain mail medication for restoring hair...don't "hair" about it much now tho

3:06 pm

hokie carla

I think he means the product that is usually bald men using it

3:07 pm

moolingwa

mail=male

3:07 pm

hokie carla

but I don't have that one either. have tried several things

3:08 pm

I think sometimes people just like to use the "language of old" here. Like babblets and monkeys. Thank God choclit has faded to black.

6:24 pm

hokie carla

I consider babblets small words common here but not in my vocab. greek letters fit that to a tee.
