MollyL

All that drama and they will be found and over with in another two minutes

8:51 am

8:52 am

Sexualized? Is that like weaponized (the new "everyone on the internet uses it" word)?

9:35 am

hurshy

mk thanks

9:35 am

hurshy

that'll be upper O

9:35 am

penquis

yw...

9:35 am

penquis

yup...

9:35 am

MollyL

It is okay to "peek" Pen. I don't know why people won't look at the list but they will ask questions in chat all day.

9:36 am

penquis

i didn't mind looking....sometimes do just to see the stats for longer words....

9:36 am

hurshy

because it used to be that we didn't have a list until much longer after the flip, and we considered working together and helping each other different from looking at a computer generated list

9:36 am

hurshy

one is all human effort, the other is not

9:37 am

sprite

I am with hursh

9:37 am

penquis

everyone plays the way he or she wants....that's one of the things that is nice about this game...

9:37 am

MollyL

But if your answers are coming from people who looked at the list, I wouldn't call that "human effort"

9:38 am

hurshy

right but when the list didn't come out so soon, then, that couldn't be the case

9:38 am

sprite

yes, as long as it doesn't take away too much fun for the other players. Not everybody wants tons of clues.

9:38 am

rururocks

apparently sprite hasn't met MKG or Freeman :D

9:38 am

hurshy

and then now that it comes out so fast, well, some of us tried saying "only people who don't have the list answer me, please" but it was coming across rude or whatever

9:38 am

MollyL

Lately, the chat is chock full of clues.

9:38 am

penquis

and not everyone has to look at the chat....

9:39 am

sprite

I did...

9:39 am

sprite

the chat is al4 for socializing though

9:39 am

MollyL

My favorite feature Pen. You can just close down the chat when it gets too "informative"

9:39 am

penquis

well to some people....

9:40 am

BzznBea

mkg does wear on ones nerves at times.

9:40 am

MollyL

It is one thing to ask for a few clues. It is another to ask for clues for "all the long words"

9:41 am

sprite

lol indeed!

9:41 am

penquis

i have closed chat at times....and sometimes i don't care about what is being clued....

9:41 am

hurshy

name that proper noun! actor brando

9:42 am

sprite

I try to time my playing so that it doesn't coincide with overcluers. Have had to change times quite a few times through the years

9:42 am

penquis

marlon

9:42 am

hurshy

ding ding ding!!!

9:42 am

MollyL

Overcluers, I like that. Overcluers and blurters are what make me turn off the chat.

9:43 am

penquis

same here...

9:43 am

sprite

amen

9:43 am

Aloyisius

9:44 am

penquis

9:44 am

Aloyisius

enjoying this grid, hope you all are too

9:44 am

BzznBea

I have a story for you all. We live in a home built in 1890 by a farming family. They had three children. The oldest was Miss Carrie. She never married and lived in the house until she had to be put in a care home late in her 80's.

9:44 am

penquis

it's a bit odd, but so far it's ok....

9:44 am

sprite

absolutely. Even though that Q is still pretending to have only one word from it

9:45 am

sprite

the scqualor of it all

9:45 am

phaeton

sprite...did you get the grain from that Q?

9:45 am

penquis

i made up one and got two more words out of that q....

9:46 am

Aloyisius

9:46 am

rururocks

9:46 am

sprite

9:47 am

9:47 am

rururocks

9:47 am

phaeton

9:47 am

Aloyisius

our house is circa 1861 and over the years we have had a number of people stop by that lived here .. we should write a book of tales the house could tell

9:48 am

penquis

yes, got those....

9:48 am

BzznBea

We have had some interesting experiences in the house. Miss Carrie did have a beau after her parents were gone. They would sit in the kitchen and she would drink and he would smoke a pipe. Yesterday, I could smell this sweet prefume all day. Kept trying to figure out where it was coming from because smells like that can set off my mom's asthma. She couldn't smell it.

9:49 am

sprite

Qs quonquerred. Thanks phae and ru

9:49 am

penquis

9:49 am

3:26 pm

penquis

yes..it's nice...

3:27 pm

cybernan

had a beefstake (vine ripened) tomato for lunch -- the slab of tomatoe was as big as the slice of bread, with tree-ripened peaches and ice-cream for dessert. Yum

3:29 pm

penquis

nice....i am going to make a tomato pie this week...

3:30 pm

cybernan

have never had that -- baked tomatoes?

3:33 pm

penquis

well first you salt slices of tomato and let them sit an hour....you make a piecrust....put a little mustard of your choice on the bottom of the piecrust when it's cool enough(not much)....lay down slices of swiss cheese over the bottom and sides....put your slices on top....add garlic and a little olive oil (not much of the oil) and put some basil leaves on top....bake in the oven...takes about 40 min....

3:33 pm

penquis

the tomatoes go on top of the cheese...

3:34 pm

cybernan

sounds very rich but tasty.

3:34 pm

Christa

YUM! ty @ penquis

3:34 pm

penquis

you can use lower calorie swish cheese or get some that is extra thin...

3:34 pm

penquis

yw...

3:35 pm

penquis

there is not much olive oil at all....the pie has to sit for five min. when it is done....if you see liquid after that, you put too much olive oil...

3:36 pm

penquis

it's not that rich tasting...just yummy....

3:36 pm

penquis

you can also put slices of black olives on it....i don't...

3:39 pm

penquis

it cooks 40 min. in a preheated oven (350 degrees)...

3:40 pm

penquis

the crust is cooked BEFORE you put the stuff in it...

3:47 pm

cybernan

I would skip the mustard (not to my taste)

3:48 pm

cybernan

Will have to wait until I have company to try it -- can't eat a whole pie by myself.

3:51 pm

penquis

it reheats pretty well....i use a sweet mustard usually and brush it on the bottom...i use very little....but you can skip it...

3:52 pm

penquis

it's nice for a brunch or light lunch with a salad....

4:00 pm

4:33 pm

saanichcat

dh 6/7 is impossible to clue. It has a very interesting meaning though. Here goes a try: take the da 4/5, the mild expletive. Add an h to the beginning. Then add the first letter of the alphabet and then pl. Good luck!

4:34 pm

saanichcat

first letter goes at the end

4:35 pm

penquis

4:42 pm
