I should have called that - I was thinking that the plural was the 7

12:32 am

I'm not doing too well - the only long ones I've found were et8/9 and pe8/9.
12:32 am
Gillie

Oh, and now I've got one ap7
12:35 am
Gillie

I don't think you generally have just one ba7
12:36 am
Gillie

Even with just one player.
12:38 am
Gillie

Sort of like having one trouser
12:38 am
jessmom

be7/9
12:38 am

Gillie, I think it's an adjective form
12:38 am
justafreep

oooh. thanks, jessmom
12:39 am
jessmom

yw :)
12:39 am
Gillie

Oh, apparently it's a nautical term (verb) too.
12:40 am
cybernan

don't have either of those 8-9 combos
12:40 am
Gillie

They have the same endings.
12:41 am
justafreep

there's only one 9, nan
12:41 am
Gillie

Sorry - I was thinking of the et7/8 and pe7/8. Maybe I should call it a night.
12:42 am
cybernan

no - the ba 7 should be a plural - there is no singular
12:42 am
Gillie

It's also a verb
12:42 am
Gillie

(turns out)
12:43 am
cybernan

have an et 6-8. but no 7-8
12:43 am
justafreep

Websters and Brittanica disagree with the 'only plural' thing. It is odd, though.
12:44 am
Gillie

The 7-8 requires one extra letter
12:44 am
cybernan

well I'm not sure about the dictionaries, but the scots play the ba 8
12:45 am
cybernan

or I should say a scotsman/woman plays the ba 8
12:45 am
Lizlin

But you can listen to that type of music - ie ba 7 music, making it an adjective
12:45 am
cybernan

I guess - hadn't thought of that
12:46 am

it's a plural of the bottom layer of a river or lake. I remembered it from a stream sanitation course :)

8:06 am

8:28 am
sukee

Hearing about Queen Elizabeth, not too positive today.
8:28 am
sukee

The family has gathered.
8:30 am
hokie carla

has she been sick or just because she's super old she's not doing well?
8:31 am
sukee

Well, the doctors said they are concerned. She has been going down for a while, and...she is 96.
8:31 am
MollyL

I didn't realize the queen was 96
8:31 am
bichon

I rememer watching her coronation. Longest living British monarch, right?
8:31 am
hokie carla

I thought she was older
8:31 am
hokie carla

wasn't Philip like 99 when he died last year or so?
8:31 am
sukee

yes, longest living
8:31 am
BzznBea

She has mobility issues.
8:32 am
hokie carla

yes, I think Elizabeth I was the longest before her
8:32 am
MollyL

Second longest. Her mother Victoria was the longest
8:32 am
sukee

Victoria was.
8:32 am
MollyL

Sorry, great great grandmother
8:33 am
mael

she is the longest reigning though, in the UK
8:33 am
sukee

Like they were saying on TV, she has been queen as long as they have been alive, me too. She became queen about 5 years before I was born.
8:34 am
mael

in modern times, really, I think only Louis the 14th reigned longer
8:34 am
rururocks

we've had older queens here in SF than that
8:35 am
hokie carla

lol
8:35 am
mael

hah and they're kicking too, I bet
8:36 am
MollyL

It is strange that monarchy still exists. It seems so outdated.
8:36 am
hokie carla

agreed
8:36 am
hokie carla

that the commonfolk believe that god made this one family to rule over their country is so weird
8:36 am
mael

it is outdated
8:37 am
sukee

It is going to slowly fade away...
8:37 am
bichon

The Brits love their Queen. After watching "The Crown", I can't understand that
8:37 am
MollyL

The world is not ready for King Charles.
8:38 am
BzznBea

He won't be the one.
8:38 am
sukee

Well, we were brought up on it (I was born in Scotland and lived there until I was 12). It was a big deal when the Queen visited
8:38 am
mael

I don't think he'll be a very popular monarch, let's put it that way
8:39 am
sukee

If people give him a chance, but they are so prejudiced against him.
8:39 am
sukee

But, regardless, he will be king
8:39 am
MollyL

Ha! Camilla will be Queen Consort. That title has such a negative undertone.
8:40 am
phaeton

hello...may I have stats for the left bottom E pls
8:40 am
hokie carla

well, I'm getting nowhere on this grid. I'm declaring it the worst ever. I do have NBT, but still 3 tiles that I have nowhere near half. 74 left.

10:21 am

got the 9 have had quite a few of these but never thought it was a word
10:24 am
MollyL

I don't think that means what you think it means
10:25 am
cybernan

don't have either ep 7 -- don't understand the drunk clue unless it is as I asked 5 minutes ago and don't remember what the 9 is
10:26 am
MollyL

No, I meant a 4 letter word for to drink alcohol to excess
10:26 am
cherlyq

kinda figured Molly
10:27 am
cybernan

guess I don't know it then
10:27 am
MollyL

Yes you do
10:27 am
MollyL

It is in grids all the time
10:28 am
cherlyq

ep 7 36 is ep a vowel and a color first one the other is also a 7 36
10:29 am
cybernan

unless it has another meaning, then no -- have looked for a 4 letter word meaning drinks to excess beginning with every letter that is next to a p
10:29 am
MollyL

The color is spelled differently
10:30 am
MollyL

Nan, I am looking at the definition and it says "to drink alcoholic liquor habitually and to excess."
10:31 am
cherlyq

ok I dont drink sorry did not know that
10:32 am
cherlyq

so sounds like a color would be more accurate got it
10:33 am
cybernan

then I obviously don't know the word, Molly. Don't see a colour in the grid either
10:33 am
MollyL

ep + vowel + not bottom + vowel
10:35 am
cybernan

I thought that might be what cheryl meant by a colour, but that isn't working either
10:36 am
cybernan

oh hang on - see a new direction
10:36 am
cybernan

ty cheryl and molly
10:37 am
cherlyq

you are welcome but molly mostly got it for you
10:37 am
cybernan

does the drunken word come from the same e?
10:37 am
MollyL

So you have never seen that 4 letter word that means to drink to excess?
10:38 am
MollyL

Nan, the clue was ep + vowel + word that means drink to excess. There is no E drunken word.
10:38 am
cybernan

don't think so -- not seeing much of anything when it comes to the longer words in this grid
10:38 am
cybernan

binge is the only word I can think of
10:38 am
MollyL

Tope Nan.
10:39 am
MollyL

ep + i + tope
10:39 am
cybernan

yes I got that, molly, no need to be nasty -- the colour is spelled taupe
10:40 am
cherlyq

yeah I looked it up, it was what I thought of though sorry for the bad clue
10:40 am
cybernan

now I'm looking for the other ep 7/36 which is the drunken one isn't it?
10:40 am
MollyL

I give up
10:42 am
cybernan

ok - now I see that you were both clueing the same word -- I thought there were two ep 7/36's. And I did not know the definition of tope -- never bothered to look it up.
10:42 am
cherlyq

that one is mostly vowels and is also a 7 36
10:43 am
cybernan

guess I just assumed that tope was the american sp. for taupe
10:43 am
cherlyq

its a 6/7 combo if that helps
10:44 am

11:17 am
origami

Thanks.
11:18 am
hurshy

and i said, but you will, you just need more practice. so we did a whole bunch more, and then i said, "ok so you remember before when you said you weren't getting this the way you got the other ones?" and he was like "now i am getting it" and i said so that's the whole point, of course it's hard when you're just learning it, but you CAN learn it, and then you can do it!

this past time that I had it, I tested negative 4 tmes - but i was very very sick - with like the worst cold - but I spoke with the doc, and he said not all strains of covid are tested with the tests - he said since i lost my taste and smell, especially for so long, I had to have had some strain of Covid. I'm sucking in essential oils like they are going out of style, I did the burnt orange, I ate the burnt orange, I suck lemons - I even did a round of steroids - but, I can taste watermelon, I think LOL LOL
3:15 pm
Gillie

I'm expecting that a COVID shot (for the latest strains) will become a regular thing like the flu shot. It's certainly been deadlier than the flu overall.
3:18 pm
hokie carla

no offense but I think essential oils are like snake oil, lots of promises, not a lot of delivery
3:20 pm

Ditto.
3:20 pm

and no testing to speak of, because there's not much money to be made

There has been medical research on using essential oils (and other strong smells) to retrain your brain to smell normally.

Probably doesn't involve eating burnt orange and sucking lemons, I would guess.

3:32 pm

Well, there certainly hasn't been an epidemic of that going on.
4:01 pm

4:01 pm

Hi, Soodle, A belated Happy Birthday to YOU!
4:02 pm
hurshy

kinda like how in a very small percentage of car accidents, people are saved by NOT having their seat belt on, because they are thrown from the car and it then explodes. but the vast majority of the time, you're still better off having your seatbelt on. so you gotta go with the stats.
4:02 pm
MollyL

Soodle, I'm sorry to hear about your nephew's reaction. Epidemic or nt, something like that can make a person re-think their view on vaccines.
4:04 pm
hurshy

certainly, once a particular person has had a bad reaction to, say, a flu vaccine, THAT person might not want to keep getting them, but it doesn't change what everyone else should be doing
4:04 pm
swmbo

Except I didn't read anywhere where there was a definitive link between this poor boy's medical woes and the vaccine. People assume a connection where one doesn't necessarily exist. It isn't very logical
4:05 pm
hurshy

yeah, we often don't know. but it wouldn't be unreasonable, esp in consultation with one's own doctor, to decide not to risk it
4:05 pm
swmbo

One anecdotal story would never make me change my attitude toward vaccines or anything else for that matter.

well, certainly not calling soodle's sis a quack since I don't know her or anything about her, but some physicians are, despite all their schooling.
4:08 pm
hurshy

it's not even about being a quack or not. it's just that doctors are human beings and might sometimes be swayed more than they should by a negative personal experience. completely understandable.
4:09 pm

esp when the negative experience is in one's child - such a fierce protective instinct there
4:09 pm

Yes. I think spreading thsi anecdotal stories can acuse a lot of harm, becasue people are too quick to jump from A to W or something, without logically working it through

And there's this for Bell's Palsy - it almost always temporary.

but it's funny too because i have a friend who is a doctor and she was TERRIFIED during her pregnancies because she knew ALL the possible things that COULD go wrong. but, none of them did, she had two perfectly healthy pregnancies and babies.

I was morbidly worried during my second pregnancy that I would suffer a uterine inversion, which is extremely rare and quite fatal LOL

And I'm not sure how the credibility of Soodle's sister's medical skills or the word quack got into this conversation.
4:32 pm

Maybe you should go back and read the conversation. No one called Soodle's sister a quack or questioned her credibility.
4:36 pm

Thanks for the advice. I did read the chat.

So did I . No one sdai Soodle'

Although, if she is actually giving up all vaccines on the basis of one bad reaction to one vaccine, "quack" does seem like the appropriate description. (The flu shot is a vaccine too, incidentally.) Bell's Palsy can be distressing, but it's nothing to the death or paralysis polio brought to so many children.
