7:44 am

mattygroves

That did it, thank you!

7:44 am

Aloyisius

ty hurshy, needed that one too

7:46 am

hokie carla

yep, couldn't find but I didn't know what I was looking for

7:48 am

hokie carla

I watched Arsenic and Old Lace last night. have to say I wasn't a huge fan of that. maybe the comedy just didn't age well. I found it just all over the place with nothing really going on except for a lot of overacting.

7:49 am

hurshy

yeah i didn't think it was very funny either

7:49 am

bichon

One of my favorites

7:49 am

hokie carla

hmm, maybe a generational thing then

7:50 am

hurshy

bringing up baby is delightful and hilarious

7:51 am

hurshy

watch that instead

7:52 am

hokie carla

ok

7:52 am

BzznBea

Is that with Tracy and Hepburn?

7:52 am

hurshy

grant and hepburn

7:54 am

hokie carla

Rope started playing after it but I had to go to sleep so I didn't finish that. a Hitchcock movie I haven't seen based on Leopold and Loeb.

7:54 am

hokie carla

I keep seeing zydeco even though there's no y

7:55 am

hurshy

almost diorama

7:55 am

7:56 am

mael

7:56 am

hokie carla

ah, thanks. HOET!

7:56 am

hokie carla

no idea if I have the larva ðŸ¤£

7:56 am

mael

that would be the 4 and 5 haha

7:57 am

hokie carla

7:57 am

hurshy

8:00 am

Aloyisius

ty Bea, that finished the z

8:01 am

hurshy

upper D and M are hardest for me today

8:02 am

hokie carla

yeah, still need 6 upper D and 6 M

8:02 am

mael

I lucked out with the upper D but the M is a pain for me too

8:03 am

hokie carla

I have 7-10-13-3-2 left so my problem is big words

8:03 am

mael

one of the 8s is an M

8:03 am

hurshy

you didn't find IG's sad ge8?

8:03 am

Aloyisius

I learned something : if you play on your Ipad, the words are not entered on Lickety's list when you switch to laptop even though your main screen list has them. So, I thought I had finished the grid, but I didn't.. now I know I have to "send words to clues" when I switch to the laptop. Lesson learned.

8:04 am

hurshy

thanks mael got the M!

8:04 am

hokie carla

is this an expert thing?

8:04 am

mael

:)

8:04 am

hurshy

must be

8:05 am

Aloyisius

must be hokie.. my rating went down in the past and I wondered why.. now I know

8:05 am

hokie carla

and no, I do not see any sad words but didn't see the early chat

8:05 am

hurshy

it's like... the most awful thing

8:05 am

hurshy

think colonizers, bosnia, rwanda, etc

8:05 am

hokie carla

phantom gendarme

8:05 am

hokie carla

ah, thanks

8:06 am

hokie carla

what is the 2nd letter of the M8?

8:06 am

hurshy

a

8:06 am

mael

think pirates

8:06 am

hurshy

murdered by pirates is good

8:07 am

hurshy

or think tom hanks with "Wilson"

8:08 am

hokie carla

ok, got it finally. not sure how that's murdered by pirates

8:09 am

hokie carla

I mean I guess you would eventually die

8:09 am

MollyL

Me either

8:09 am

hokie carla

I'm picturing like stabbing with a cutlass

8:10 am

mael

I think it's one way they used to murder people, yeah

8:10 am

mael

of the many ways :)

8:10 am

hokie carla

you could've said one of the hokie colors or adam levined ðŸ˜œ

8:10 am

hokie carla

but thanks

8:10 am

dan2bit

good morning all!

8:11 am

8:16 am

hokie carla

8:26 am

hokie carla

8:26 am

mael

sad I missed that!

8:26 am

hurshy

oh THAT's what it was!

8:26 am

hokie carla

I even said, where is mael??

8:26 am

mael

just the first couple of episodes, I liked it

8:26 am

mael

I was traveling! hahaha

8:26 am

hurshy

when i said "murdered by pirates is good" that was not a clue, but a reference to the princess bride, which i could not help making once pirates were referenced

8:27 am

hokie carla

haha

8:27 am

hokie carla

that makes more sense, hurshy

8:28 am

hokie carla

and yes, mael, I think my actual words were, is mael traveling again?

8:28 am

mael

I will admit that I watched the Princess Bride in Italian as a kid and have missed a lot of quotes because of that. I know the big ones, but I should just watch it again with my kids in english

8:28 am

hokie carla

I've seen it a ton of times and didn't get that one

8:28 am

mael

I was in Montreal and NYC for work, caught some beautiful weather

8:29 am

rururocks

I don't understand the adulation of princess bride..

8:29 am

hokie carla

I find myself saying "and yet he gains" more than any quote

8:29 am

hokie carla

oh geez, I knew this would drag ruru out of the woodwork ðŸ˜

8:32 am

hokie carla

maybe it's a generational thing, ruru ðŸ˜œ

8:33 am

rururocks

yeah.. right.. that's it

8:33 am

hurshy

*pats ruru on the head*

8:34 am

mael

I don't love it nearly as much as I love other things, but I'm a slightly different type of nerd

8:34 am

hokie carla

bless his heart

8:35 am

hokie carla

well, I need to get ready for tennis. TTFN.

8:35 am

mael

8:46 am

mkg

Hi all. Any clues for the Z words?

8:47 am

BzznBea

several clues in the chat

8:49 am

MollyL

From a hilarious article entitled "Why I Don't Like The Princess Bride"....When I openly admitted that I didnâ€™t like one of the most popular 80s princess movies...Jaws dropped. Pencils snapped. Traffic outside screeched to a halt. Men at work removed their hats and shook their heads with resign. Even Chuck Norris did a double take.

9:02 am

rururocks

i'll have to read that.. i get the same reactions

9:13 am

periwinkle

hello all. help with lone O please

i just noticed that icecap and ipecac are anagrams

10:53 am

mattygroves

May I have a hint, please, for the NE7? I just can't see it

10:55 am

Sophie512

Hi. Just logged on. Sorry, Matty. Molly, I've never seen it.

11:05 am

mattygroves

Found it

11:10 am

MollyL

Oh please tell me your grandkids have seen it. Kids love that movie.

11:23 am

Sophie512

nope....my sister's side of the family thinks it's hilarious

11:44 am

MollyL

Damn, another school shooting in St. Louis. Sad to say, our kids were safer in quarantine.

11:51 am

cybernan

Molly it' isn't goiing to stop until strict gun control measures are put in place - and that won't stop it, just make it less frequent. There will always be a black market for guns. It is unfortuneate that so many are hung up on that "right to bear arms" thing, which (let's face it) is a hangover from the 18th century and colonial rule, and was never intended to allow the public to own anything other than a rifle, not the weapons available now.

11:58 am

player girl

I need some help with the z's and 8's. Please

12:00 pm

cybernan

zo 4-5 -- rhymes with a to 4-5 babblet that begins with the largest digit on your foot

12:01 pm

player girl

Thanks Nan, did not know those.

12:02 pm

player girl

I so much wanted izod to be a word. Alligators on shirts are crying all over the place.

12:02 pm

cybernan

yw :)

12:16 pm

penquis

hello all...in and out doing laundry....

12:16 pm

MollyL

Nan, I am just as concerned about the deplorable lack of affordable/available mental health care as I am about gun control. Mentallyl healthy people do not resort to shooting people.

12:18 pm

Retired PJs

Yes, and we need to face that fact that we're not a society with a lot of mentally ill people, but we are in many ways a mentally ill society.

12:20 pm

player girl

I love how you put that PJs, great point

12:20 pm

cybernan

the sale of handguns was banned across Canada last week -- too long in coming in my opinion

12:21 pm

cybernan

glad to see it done though

12:23 pm

hurshy

you guys are so lucky!

12:23 pm

MollyL

I don't know that I agree that we are a mentally ill society.

12:24 pm

cybernan

someone asked for a ne 7 when I first signed on today, but didn't see a clue in the chat -- help please?

12:27 pm

Retired PJs

Just my opinion, not all will agree with it. I just think we have so many mistaken priorities. I think, among many other things, that a healthy society would take steps to drastically reduce access to weapons, given the way they end up being used.

12:27 pm

MollyL

Word to describe people with black skin Nan

12:28 pm

cybernan

ty molly -- missed that letter combo

12:28 pm

cybernan

oh and there is an or with the same combo :)

12:29 pm

MollyL

A healthy society would. But that involves the people who make the laws being healthy. Those people are more into what makes money than healthy decisions.

12:31 pm

Retired PJs

Agreed! But we keep electing unhealthy people! And I can't get started on that rant, because my lunch hour is almost up!

12:31 pm

Retired PJs
