ne7/36.....clue please

5:38 am

mattygroves

A cocktail

5:38 am

mattygroves

First three - not pos (not + but -, abbr), next three, Mr Reagan, to his friend's, then a vowel.

5:40 am

mattygroves

Arrrgh - a rogue apostrophe got in there. Mea culpa!

5:41 am

aebmusica

tyvm

5:41 am

aebmusica

matty

5:43 am

aebmusica

this is what I get for being a teetotaler

5:43 am

mattygroves

I don't think I've ever had one of those cocktails, in truth, though I am not teetotal!

5:45 am

rururocks

they are good if you like a little bitterness in your cocktails

5:45 am

aebmusica

I've never heard of it or have seen anyone drink this..... maybe it's an old old cocktail as I am 79.

5:46 am

rururocks

it's a pretty common cocktail actually aeb

5:53 am

aebmusica

well most of the people I know are from my three ethnic choirs......and they drink beer(bier)and wine

5:54 am

mattygroves

I certainly like very bitter beers!

5:56 am

aebmusica

they do also and they also drink half beer and half apple juice supposedly called a Shandy

5:57 am

rururocks

ugh that sounds awful

5:57 am

aebmusica

sometimes beer and carbonated lemonade

5:57 am

mattygroves

A shandy here is beer and 'lemonade' (lemonade basically being Sprite/7UP, more or less)

5:58 am

aebmusica

the ladies drink these but not the men

5:58 am

mattygroves

Lager and (hard) cider combo here is called a Snakebite, and is apparently lethal

6:00 am

aebmusica

I have the ni8/50 but I cannot for the life of me find the ni6/30?

6:02 am

mattygroves

I have neither :(

6:03 am

aebmusica

ty for responding

6:03 am

mattygroves

Which N does the ni8 come from, please?

6:04 am

rururocks

a derogatory word for black people

6:04 am

aebmusica

top line 4th square

6:05 am

mattygroves

Aah, thanks for the 6 - still looking for the 8 (Ru and AEB) :D

6:06 am

rururocks

ends with a crime against god

6:06 am

mattygroves

Thank you! I'd not have found it without that clue

6:14 am

rururocks

well the p was pretty easy

sukee

7:45 am

periwinkle

why is the ni6/30 accepted in this grid. it is a horrible word

7:45 am

sukee

I thought the same thing

7:46 am

aebmusica

me too.... there are others also like cu4/6 that I hate

7:47 am

periwinkle

that too

7:50 am

Scrabbler

Oh, no, aeb. I was up most of the night with a sick rabbit. Losing a pet is so awful.

7:53 am

bichon

sorry to hear that Scrabs

7:53 am

Scrabbler

She is eating now which is encouraging.

7:54 am

bichon

sounds promising

7:55 am

aebmusica

Oh I am so happy that she's eating....good sign.

7:55 am

aebmusica

What is your bunny's name?

7:56 am

Scrabbler

Fiona. I got her and her sister, Phoebe, from the SPCA 4 years ago. This is my first bonded pair.

7:58 am

bichon

Didn't you have a Gandolf?

7:58 am

aebmusica

my puppy's name is Flrie Jeanne Mac Fearsome(play on words because she wasn't very fearsome and my family is part of the MacPherson clan

7:58 am

aebmusica

that's Florie

8:00 am

BzznBea

I'm finding this grid tough.

8:02 am

Scrabbler

bichon, these girls are my 12th and 13th rabbits, I think. I had Gandalf the Grey in the past.

8:02 am

Scrabbler

Do you have more dogs, aeb?

8:02 am

Meatball421

phantom peregrine

8:03 am

Scrabbler

8:30 am

hurshy

8:31 am

cybernan

fe 5 is a fencing move

8:31 am

HarryHood

8:31 am

HarryHood

like a fencing move

8:31 am

HarryHood

hah! jinx nan

8:31 am

BzznBea

bottom n is an alcoholic beverage ne7.36 and plural

8:32 am

hokie carla

well, I've just started and can only find 2 j's

8:32 am

LuvWordGames

will have to google it even though my son did fencing in high school

8:32 am

cybernan

ne 7-8 is from the bottom n. Monkeyed it last night, I think someone said it is a cocktail

8:32 am

HarryHood

it's all about mick, carla

8:32 am

hokie carla

also a quidditch move, luv

8:33 am

hokie carla

well, one of the two I found is mick

8:33 am

HarryHood

cocktails and harry potter are not helping me one bit

8:33 am

HarryHood

more mick, like mick, micks,

8:33 am

hokie carla

and no idea on a cocktail

8:33 am

cybernan

only have half of the j's

8:33 am

hokie carla

the harry potter is for the F, harry

8:33 am

HarryHood

missing one J

8:33 am

HarryHood

oh

8:33 am

BzznBea

There are also words that mean talk or language in the js

8:33 am

hokie carla

ah, remembered the N

8:34 am

hurshy

i too am missing one J

8:34 am

mattygroves

I am missing 3 Js

8:34 am

BzznBea

There are two ja8's

8:34 am

hurshy

hmmm ok

8:34 am

mattygroves

Ah, I have but one of them (thanks to the clue a few minutes ago from Bea)

8:34 am

hurshy

ty got it

8:35 am

cybernan

ty bea

8:35 am

mattygroves

Are the two 8s related to each other?

8:35 am

mattygroves

Aaah, yes they are

8:35 am

cybernan

still need 4 j's

8:35 am

mattygroves

I still need 2

8:35 am

HarryHood

ty for the other ja8

8:35 am

hokie carla

still need 5, incl both 8s

8:36 am

HarryHood

but still missing the N...grrr

8:36 am

hurshy

actually finding the As harder than the Js, lol

8:36 am

mattygroves

1 J left....

8:36 am

cybernan

have 4 language words and 2 mick words

8:37 am

mattygroves

The first 4 letters of the Mick word yield quite a few words, Nan, including ones you may not expect

8:37 am

hokie carla

harry, the N has the ne word that used to refer to black people, then ends in an element

8:39 am

cybernan

ok - mick words now - ty matty - need mone more j

8:39 am

HarryHood

I have two elements in this grid, and neither fits what you're saying...

8:39 am

hurshy

the element is 5 cents

8:39 am

hokie carla

think of the 5 cent coin

8:39 am

cybernan

j's done :)

8:40 am

hurshy

jinx

8:40 am

hokie carla

down to 3 j's

8:41 am

HarryHood

that took altogether too long.

8:41 am

HarryHood

I need to make some coffee.

8:42 am

HarryHood

OH! symbol for the element - I get it :)

8:42 am

hokie carla

I'm disappointed in your lack of knowledge of the periodic table ðŸ˜œ

8:42 am

HarryHood

yeah well...

8:44 am

cybernan

still need 114 words and struggling

8:44 am

hokie carla

287 left

8:44 am

mattygroves

The 5 cent coin isn't in the grid - I'm confused!

8:45 am

cybernan

not the coin, the element

8:45 am

cybernan

or metal

8:46 am

hurshy

and not the element, the abbr for the element as found in the periodic table

8:46 am

hurshy

phantom: geyser

8:46 am

cybernan

abbreviation

8:46 am

mattygroves

But...isn't the coin named after the element?

8:47 am

hurshy

of course it is, but there's no periodic table of coins

8:47 am

cybernan

abbreviation on the periodic table, matty

8:47 am

mattygroves

Ooooh - you mean the last two letters of the NE7 and 8, I think. I'm still obsessed with my last J :D

8:47 am

hurshy

yes that is what that was for

8:47 am

cybernan

and the lightbulb shines :)

8:47 am

mattygroves

Silly me

8:48 am

cybernan

my last j was mick with no double letters

8:48 am

hokie carla

I didn't realize my clue would create such confusion

8:48 am

HarryHood

I think we need to be clear here that an abbreviation for an element is not the element. One wouldn't clue tungsten and then say w, right?

8:48 am

mattygroves

And now that was MY last J - thank you!

8:48 am

HarryHood

just getting persnickety here

8:49 am

hokie carla

I have that J, still need 3! would anyone care to help with the J8s?

8:49 am

cybernan

what I know about science or the periodic table, you could put in your eye, harry

8:49 am

hurshy

yeah but if we said that, then the person might be afraid it was an odd one like tungsten = w, thus rendering the clue useless

8:50 am

hokie carla

well, in my head it was obvious there were 2 letters left, so the element would be the abbreviation

8:50 am

BzznBea

ja8 one is pt of the speak

8:50 am

hurshy

saying it is an abbr helps to reassure the reader that they can think of it without being sciencey

8:50 am

cybernan

the 8's both are derivatives of the dialect

8:50 am

hokie carla

thanks bea, unexpected pt

8:50 am

mattygroves

In my line of work, we use a lot of ja6/39, if I've spoken it a lot, I've ja8/80

8:50 am

mattygroves

For the other JA8, change the last letter

8:51 am

hokie carla

that's weird

8:51 am

HarryHood

like if I said the fencing word began with a rusting metal

8:51 am

hokie carla

obvi iron, so FE

8:52 am

HarryHood

caffeine is on board.

8:52 am

hokie carla

but we already know that one starts with FE. your example needs it elsewhere in the word.

8:52 am

HarryHood

I would not make that hop. your mind works in weird and wondrous ways, carla

8:52 am

mattygroves

If I go to punch you with my right hand, but pull back, I have fe5'd. Homonym of pass out

8:52 am

hurshy

i don't think caffeine was an example hokie, i think he was just saying he has consumed some

8:53 am

hokie carla

lol, wasn't speaking about the caffeine

8:53 am

HarryHood

0h my gosh the crossing conversations here

8:53 am

hurshy

lol

8:53 am

hokie carla

okay, I have 4 language words and 5 other ja words

8:53 am

cybernan

think I'll make some breakfast and have a look at wordle

8:55 am

HarryHood

sinnow: the name of the boat in the porn version of gilligans island

8:55 am

BzznBea

lol

8:56 am

MollyL

Good one Harry

8:56 am

hurshy

the Rs are making me dizzy

8:56 am

rururocks

all hands on deck.. or something like that

8:56 am

HarryHood

hah! that would be a good name for it!

8:57 am

HarryHood

let's see if we can get financing

8:57 am

hokie carla

it's probably already been done ðŸ¤£

8:57 am

HarryHood

I would google it but I'm afraid of having that in my search history

8:57 am

hokie carla

yeah, no way I would

8:57 am

rururocks

lol

8:58 am

HarryHood

esp on my work computer!

8:58 am

BzznBea

ru, we got another dog.

8:58 am

rururocks

you did? you have two now?

8:58 am

BzznBea

he is a 6 year old boxer that we are fostering.

8:58 am

HarryHood

hagd all - 114 left, not sure I will be back today

8:58 am

hokie carla

how is eggier not a word?

8:59 am

MollyL

I guarantee you, little boys everywhere had their own porn versions starring them and Ginger

8:59 am

rururocks

I just can't be a foster.. once they show up here it's over for me.. I always keep them

8:59 am

hokie carla

or Mary Ann, some were into her

9:00 am

BzznBea

He will probably stay.

9:01 am

rururocks

attagirl

9:02 am

rururocks

it's nice having two.. they keep me laughing all the time

9:03 am

hokie carla

anyone else watching world cup final?

9:05 am

rururocks

not me

9:05 am

Scrabbler

I am watching.

9:06 am

hokie carla

I hope it's a good game

9:09 am

Aloyisius

We don't have Peacock or I would be watching World Cup instead of Meet the Press. Happy Hannukah to those that celebrate.

9:09 am

hurshy

which countries are in it?

9:09 am

hokie carla

it's on Fox, not Peacock.

9:09 am

hurshy

did morocco make it all the way there?

9:10 am

hokie carla

it is France v. Argentina

9:10 am

Aloyisius

oh, ty hokie.. our local newscaster said Peacock

9:10 am

hokie carla

no, Morocco played in the 3rd place game yesterday but lost to Croatia

9:10 am

hurshy

ahhh classic powerhouses then

9:11 am

parisla

Did we just lose the goalkeeper...? not a good start!

9:11 am

hokie carla

he looks to be in pain, but staying in

9:13 am

Scrabbler

The trauma seemed minor.

9:13 am

hokie carla

it looked minor in the slo-mo but I guess he got hit harder than it appeared

9:14 am

Scrabbler

Not a splenic injury, I hope.

9:33 am

cybernan

hello again

9:34 am

hokie carla

9:39 am

9:48 am

saanichcat

9:49 am

cybernan

9:49 am

Scrabbler

9:57 am

saanichcat

thank you Molly

9:59 am

origami

Hi folks. It's foggy here for the first time in years. Where I live is notorious for fog in the winter, but you have to have moisture for fog and, well, the drought.

9:59 am

Scrabbler

Hi Origami

9:59 am

saanichcat

yummy! thanks again.

9:59 am

saanichcat

hi ori

10:00 am

cybernan

maybe you will get some rain, ori -- that would be good if it is a light one

10:00 am

origami

We got quite a bit of much needed rain a week ago.

10:01 am

cybernan

we have been getting snow on and off since November with melting in between. Hopefully come Spring the moisture will be deeper than the top 6" of ground.

10:06 am

Scrabbler

11:43 am

penquis

recovering from the neverending cold...how about you?

11:44 am

cybernan

keep forgetting night show host, jay

11:47 am

saanichcat

preparing for the neverending cold! you know, the wood, the generator, etc etc

11:47 am

penquis

ah yes....

11:48 am

saanichcat

had that one nan but you still get cookies

11:48 am

cybernan

ty - alway can eat cookies

11:48 am

cybernan

do you often lose power, that you need a generator, saanich?

11:49 am

saanichcat

Molly made them this morning

11:50 am

saanichcat

yes nan, more often than before because of drought and dead trees crashing the power lines

11:51 am

saanichcat

my well works by electricity and that is the main reason

11:53 am

oh - our power lines are all underground in the places we've lived since the 60's. Have always had a fireplace though - either wood or gas - and it wouldn't be the first time I've heated soup (or baby's milk) in it. Then there is always the BBQ for cooking :)

11:55 am

cybernan

I forgot you are out in the countryside

11:57 am

saanichcat

yeah in the middle of the woods. I am so lucky. deer, bears and cougars wander through. It is incredibly beatiful.

11:59 am

hokie carla

we have deer, bears, wild hogs, and last night I saw a bobcat. thank god for no cougars.

11:59 am

penquis

we have lobster... :oD

12:00 pm

saanichcat

a bobcat? in your neighbourhood?

12:00 pm

hokie carla

yep

12:01 pm

saanichcat

great problem

12:01 pm

penquis

i have a bobcat in my home....a Bates bobcat...me...:oD

12:01 pm

cybernan

we just have deer wandering through - even though i'm in a gated community.

12:02 pm

hokie carla

we also have a gajillion squirrels. and canada geese - wish y'all would take those back

12:02 pm

hokie carla

we are gated too but the gates are just on the road, no fences anywhere

12:02 pm

cybernan

sorry - if they live with you, they are now american geese

12:03 pm

hokie carla

all this geese talk made me type in nene just in case

12:03 pm

saanichcat

well, that was meant for both penguis and carla but hit the send too fast. And no we do not want those geese back; why do you think we gave them all away, ha ha

12:04 pm

cybernan

the fence is only 5-6 feet high, so doesn't do much for keeping the deer out and we are surrounded with nearby orchards, vineyards and open spaces.

12:06 pm

bichon

I have deer in my suburban yard picking through the compost pile

12:07 pm

hokie carla

I'm sure that we have coyotes as well since they are everywhere, but I haven't seen one yet

12:07 pm

saanichcat

the deer in Victoria have become so invasive - people keep feeding them - soo they are given some sort of infertility shot

12:08 pm

cybernan

we have one coyote that visits periodically, and lots of squirrels and sometimes the racoons invade.

12:08 pm

bichon

I saw a coyote walking through my yard carrying lunch in its mouth

12:10 pm

saanichcat

no coyotes where I live, an island. also no venomous snakes or skunks

12:13 pm

saanichcat

and when grizzly bears manage to swim over, they get first class travel home to northern BC

12:15 pm

saanichcat

bye for now, interesting chat

12:15 pm

cybernan

is there any chance that he will be barred from running again?

12:23 pm

rururocks

there's a chance

12:24 pm

rururocks

if the DOJ presses charges that's the answer I guess

12:26 pm

2:59 pm

hokie carla

how's your mom doing?

3:02 pm

BzznBea

She's good. It is amazing how her health and mental state have changed since she has been using this biologic. She decided she was going to live a little longer since taking this med and had oral surgery to remove some teeth and get some new bottom teeth. Merry Christmas to her!
