Good morning.

5:41 am

Scrabbler

Bottom row? I assume it is a ya-?

5:43 am

ItalianGreyhound

Yes - sounds like a Liquor

5:43 am

That did it, TY!

5:44 am

MollyL

*Whistles nonchalantly while looking away

5:56 am

ChampFit

That reminds me...yesterday I was surfing around Facebook and an add for Sephora came up. They had picture of a small, item that fits on your finger for "O's". A picture! Right there!

5:56 am

ChampFit

Ad, not Add

5:57 am

ChampFit

i thought they just sold make up!

5:57 am

ItalianGreyhound

I have no response to that

5:58 am

ChampFit

I was shocked. I'm not a prude, but it does surprise me what's acceptable to advertise for anyone to see.

5:59 am

MollyL

They have a whole collection of makeup called o

5:59 am

ChampFit

I'm lazy...I get my make up at the grocery store. If I got to Sephora, it's because one of my daughters dragged me.

6:07 am

Scrabbler

99 left and I must get ready for work. Enjoy the day.

MollyL

Looks like it means I cherish myself

7:51 am

hurshy

phantoms: crease, grease

7:52 am

MollyL

There is sex all over this grid. I bet Ru is loving it.

7:52 am

hurshy

i am within hearing distance of the music classroom and i am getting pretty tired of hearing "mary had a little lamb" over and over every day

7:53 am

MollyL

Imagine how tired they are of playing it every day

7:53 am

hurshy

idk, at least that takes some focus, effort, concentration, and if you care about mastering it, it's not as bad

7:59 am

hurshy

outrage: my alt-bee doesn't take "gangly"!

8:00 am

hurshy

i found some other free ones yesterday too

8:04 am

dan2bit

pegasi is apparently not the plural :-)

8:04 am

mael

hah, dan, I tried it too

8:05 am

mael

it is technically an accepted plural

8:05 am

mael

just not here

8:05 am

hurshy

wow i never would have thought of that

8:09 am

dan2bit

too many years of high school latin. and probably also of high school dungeons and dragons ;-)

9:20 am

hokie carla

the bottom row is conspiring against my HOET

9:29 am

MollyL

Evil letters

9:29 am

MollyL

How do you get half of one letter?

9:30 am

hokie carla

well, in the odd ones you round up, so the singles you have to find to count as HOET

9:31 am

hokie carla

else it wouldn't be at least half on every tile

9:32 am

hokie carla

and I found the A and 5 M's so now it's just the O

9:33 am

hokie carla

and I keep trying osage

9:34 am

mael

I try osage every time. Enable has never heard of an osage orange

9:35 am

hokie carla

I have also tried mid on everything but so far no takers

9:36 am

hokie carla

phantom omicron

9:38 am

rastapopolous

alas, I think Osage is a proper noun

9:39 am

hokie carla

I think so too just from googling

9:39 am

MollyL

Oh dear (clutches pearls)

9:43 am

rastapopolous

I have nothing yet for that center E. My dh is named Ed, and he often jokes that he's the head of a religion called Edism.... if only...

9:43 am

hokie carla

would anyone care to give me the stat for the bottom o?

9:44 am

rastapopolous

9:45 am

hokie carla

9:45 am

MollyL

Sorry, typing with a sore finger

9:45 am

rururocks

the or8 was my first word

9:45 am

hokie carla

9:46 am

MollyL

Of course Ru

9:46 am

hokie carla

aha, thanks ruru

9:47 am

hokie carla

9:49 am

hokie carla

9:50 am

MollyL

Champ said she got one right here in the chat this morning.

9:50 am

rururocks

9:50 am

Shirlockc

o dear is it that type of morning?

9:51 am

rururocks

9:52 am

hokie carla

9:53 am

MollyL

If I ever hear "oh dear" he's getting kicked out of bed

9:53 am

rururocks

LOL

9:57 am

rururocks

at least you'd get some chocolate chip cookies molly :D

9:57 am

rastapopolous

9:58 am

hokie carla

9:59 am

10:00 am

hokie carla

10:00 am

hokie carla

yes, a different as4 ðŸ¤£

10:00 am

periwinkle

yes that was the one thankis

10:00 am

rastapopolous

yes it is that

10:00 am

periwinkle

is the center E a fish?

10:02 am

MollyL

On to current events...Tom and Gisele...finished?

10:02 am

Meatball421

Tom is a fool, she put up with it long enuf IMHO

10:02 am

Meatball421

the center E is not a fish

10:02 am

periwinkle

looks like it Molly, apparently he chose football over family

10:03 am

periwinkle

stats for the center E please

10:03 am

hokie carla

Meatball421

ty for center E

10:05 am

rururocks

gotta get to work.. enjoy the grid everyone

10:06 am

hokie carla

bye ruru

10:07 am

MollyL

Poor Tom, I think football is all he knows and he can't seem to give it up, even for a wife and family. He will end up with regrets, no doubt.

10:08 am

Meatball421

"Poor"Tom's ego is apparently more iportant than his wife and children

10:09 am

hokie carla

phantom coerce

10:10 am

Meatball421

Toms of fame, tons of records, tons of money, gorgeous wife, healthy beautiful children and he HAD to reneg on his word to retire? For WHAT?

10:10 am

Meatball421

"TONS"

10:10 am

hokie carla

he wants more of that, to be the GOAT that no one can ever catch

10:11 am

Meatball421

Well, hope that keeps him warm at night

10:11 am

MollyL

He's faced with what would he do without football in his life. If football is all he knows, that leaves a big void. I'm not defending him, just saying that is the way it is for people who put all emphasis on one thing and they are faced with losing that one thing. Happens to people when they retire all the time.

10:12 am

MollyL

Half of the people I work with have come out of retirement because they couldn't hack it.

10:13 am

MollyL

And trust me, Brady will never have trouble finding someone to keep him warm at night.

10:15 am

hokie carla

well, have made it to 23 left but probably need to do some stuff. only found 1 7. still need 5 M's. guessing the 2 are related.
