12:33 am
justafreep
I'm confused by that since the my E next to the s is grayed out and not by a 7. I don't think any other E is next to an S, so... hmmmm.
12:42 am
cybernan
oops -- sorry - no es - it was a phantom
12:43 am

too late for me to be doing this
12:43 am

my patrilinieal great grandmother’s name is in the grid today. a gu6.27.
8:25 am
hurshy
which was also the nickname of Bertie Wooster's friend Augustus Fink-Nottle!
8:27 am
MollyL
Is patrilineal just a five-dollar word for paternal, or does it mean something else?
8:27 am
dcseain
in the paternal line.
8:29 am
dcseain
so as i used, that tells you father’s father’s mother.
8:30 am
MollyL
But paternal great grandmother means the same thing, right?
8:31 am
dcseain
not necessarily, that’s ambiguous as to which.
8:32 am
MollyL
Pardon? Ambiguous as to which what? Paternal means on your father's side.
8:32 am
dcseain
but doesn’t clarify wethetr father’s or mother’s mother.

you go off and play other word games and you forget what you've found
9:34 am
MollyL
Well Ru, at least we are not all stoned (I think)
9:35 am
MollyL
I'm so confused. Who has a Thursday checkout on a vacation rental? Don't they go from Saturday to Saturday in the summer?
9:36 am
hurshy
maybe they are being more flexible if fewer people are coming this summer?
9:37 am
MollyL
Fewer people? Everyone I know is going on two or three vacations this summer to make up for the COVID years.
9:38 am
hurshy
oh, i had heard people were driving less due to the high gas prices
9:39 am
MollyL
Some people are. It doesn't affect the high dollar income people. They just pay the higher prices.
9:39 am
rururocks
i'm only taking two vacations this year.. one is a short weekend thing
9:40 am

I am taking my usual no vacation. 😥

jack kerouac was the most famous one right? i know his name and that's about it.
9:48 am
rururocks
I lived in those times
9:50 am
MollyL
Well, my clue seems less clever if I have to explain it's meaning
9:52 am
hurshy
i'm reading up on the beat generation now
9:52 am
hurshy
i feel like there is a lot with which current young people could also identify
9:52 am
MollyL
Beatnik and hippy are two different things but they are often used interchangably
9:52 am
hurshy
not even just young people... anyone who did the great resignation
9:53 am
hurshy
and all the exploited poor
9:54 am
MollyL
People who did the great resignation apparently can pay their bills without a job. I, alas, cannot.
9:54 am
hurshy
or they are trying to be self-employed and may or may not be succeeding at it
9:55 am
rururocks
I don't feel like the younger generation who is taking on the great resignation is really progress
9:55 am
hurshy
nobody said it was :)
9:56 am
MollyL
I read that many of the people who participated in the great resignation are now back to work. Seems those damn creditors want their money.
9:57 am
rururocks
what I meant is I had to work in a lot of shitty jobs in my life hursh, until I found my profession
10:00 am
MollyL
I think it is kind of sad that it took a pandemic for people to realize that their long commutes and less than optimal jobs were decreasing the quality of their lives.
10:01 am
