justafreep

12:19 am

cybernan

you are probably one ahead of me -- haven't found that pe 7 yet

12:20 am

cybernan

12:24 am

dizgrannie

en 8

12:28 am

dizgrannie

ne 9...compound...nbt/nbs

12:29 am

justafreep

I feel justified. I wish it was a word I knew (first I tried one that would describe my vegetable drawer on a Sunday....)

12:30 am

cybernan

ty freep --- nbt, nbs

12:31 am

cybernan

oh no - I do have a bt

12:31 am

justafreep

don't thank me. I merely had a concept!

12:31 am

Gillie

Does the en8 come from the left column?

12:32 am

cybernan

no

12:32 am

justafreep

yes

12:32 am

justafreep

Huh. Mine did. Maybe there are two?

12:33 am

Gillie

So that will be two birds with one stone when I find it

12:33 am

justafreep

it was for me

12:33 am

cybernan

sorry - eyes playing trick on me -- don't have the en 8 -- instead of en I saw ne

12:34 am

dizgrannie

my Es are done, only 1 8

12:34 am

justafreep

thanks

12:35 am

cybernan

12:57 am

grannyrose

sorry m9. will write back. have been out for most of the day.

12:57 am

m9f9l

Wow! That should make pain management easier, yes?

12:57 am

m9f9l

Oh no worries!!

12:58 am

grannyrose

absolutely yes. no more nurses diiging through my arms trying to find a big enough vein.

12:59 am

grannyrose

*digging*... lol.

12:59 am

m9f9l

Yes. My friend's daughter had one and that was MUCH better for her.

1:00 am

7:07 am

periwinkle

thanks will look

7:07 am

hurshy

well that explains why i'm not seeing it! lol

7:08 am

aslindy

it's not a word I'm familiar with and would be hard pressed to clue

7:09 am

hurshy

ok well there can't be an F in it, points-wise

7:09 am

aslindy

nope, no F

7:10 am

hurshy

probably either has C or P in it

7:10 am

aslindy

want me to tell you?

7:10 am

hurshy

H and M are less accessible

7:10 am

hurshy

sure :)

7:10 am

aslindy

it's the C. 3rd letter.

7:11 am

hurshy

ok. that did seem the most likely option. :)

7:11 am

periwinkle

found it in my scrabble dictionary. annual university ceremonies

7:11 am

aslindy

I used morewords. :)

7:11 am

aslindy

but don't own a scrabble dictionary, either

7:12 am

hurshy

i would think that i would have heard of it then, if it is a university thing

7:13 am

hurshy

phew, got it, though have not heard of it!

7:14 am

hurshy

phantom: finance

7:17 am

8:21 am

mkg

Got it anyway. Ty

8:22 am

mkg

I am also missing the m words. Stats welcome. And missing the a and e words for first column letters. Ty

8:24 am

ChampFit

There's an mh, and two ma words that remind me of the quarterback for the KC Chiefs.

8:27 am

ChampFit

The e is en8 and en6/21. I monkeyed the 8 from chat clues, but it's one I haven't seen before.

8:29 am

MollyL

The easiest way to find the en8 is to do a Google search on the definition. "festive ceremonies commemorating the founding of a city or the consecration of a church."

8:30 am

ChampFit

Have a great day!

8:30 am

MollyL

It is the Australian/English spelling of the word

8:44 am

origami

Acronym of the day: HOET

8:57 am

hokie carla

speaking of HOET, don't have. but I guess I can get with the below clues.

8:58 am

HarryHood

trying to work with the KC QB clue and it's getting me nowhere

8:59 am

hokie carla

it was in yesterday's grid, ma5. literally the QB minus a letter

9:00 am

hokie carla

minus 2 letters

9:00 am

hokie carla

well, the 6 is minus 1 letter

9:00 am

HarryHood

duh. ty carla

9:02 am

hokie carla

np

9:04 am

hokie carla

well, I took molly's advice on the EN8 and got that. thx. still no HOET though as the darn lower P is being prickly.

9:04 am

HarryHood

I am just missing that lone E

9:05 am

MollyL

The lone E is the one I mentioned

9:05 am

HarryHood

not quite ready to do a google search yet.

9:05 am

hokie carla

LOL, then you will be missing it for a while

9:06 am

mael

is it that bad?? eep

9:06 am

mael

hello all, just started

9:06 am

MollyL

Clearly either I am blind or you do not know how to spell the quarterback's name

9:06 am

hokie carla

it's a word I've never heard of, with UK spelling of extra worthless letters.

9:06 am

hokie carla

hey mael

9:06 am

MollyL

Never mind, you meant the plural

9:07 am

hokie carla

it is bad, but mael, you prob know it

9:07 am

HarryHood

on the way to trying to figure it out I found an fr6 :)

9:08 am

hokie carla

thanks for that reminder, harry

9:08 am

MollyL

I am trying to figure out why anyone would know the en8

9:08 am

HarryHood

I got the en8!

9:08 am

HarryHood

ty for the extra letter clue :)

9:09 am

hokie carla

because mael knows ridiculous words

9:09 am

MollyL

Harry, aren't you late for your Mensa meeting?

9:09 am

hokie carla

np

9:09 am

HarryHood

pffft

9:09 am

hokie carla

I practically gave it away to him!

9:09 am

HarryHood

well I have hoet, but still missing the 9.

9:10 am

MollyL

The extra letters thing hardly gives that one away

9:10 am

hokie carla

I still need one lower P. and don't have the 9 or half the 8 but I don't play HOES.

9:10 am

HarryHood

carla was being facetious, as carla often is.

9:11 am

hokie carla

thank you, harry, for getting me.

9:11 am

HarryHood

you should put that in your profile: "I don't play HOES"

9:11 am

MollyL

I say the 9 is a stupid word. And oh, we need to include Harry in that Hurshy, DCSeain, Carla conversation.

9:11 am

hokie carla

I know, it has a certain ring to it.

9:11 am

mael

lol harry

9:12 am

pcal2

i agree the 9 is a stupid word...but i got it...yay!

9:12 am

hokie carla

nice

9:12 am

HarryHood

wtg pcal

9:13 am

hokie carla

HOET!

9:13 am

pcal2

:-)

9:13 am

HarryHood

congrats carla

9:13 am

pcal2

tks

9:14 am

MollyL

Hurshy: Can you elucidate?
DC Seain: Only if you give me the penultimate reason.
Carla: Great portmanteau!
Harry: Carla was being facetious

9:14 am

hokie carla

I like how you're constructing a whole dialog out of random sentences.

9:14 am

HarryHood

I dont think facetious begins to compete with portnamteau

9:15 am

MollyL

Monday's child is fair of facetious

9:15 am

hokie carla

if nan were here she'd tell us a portmanteau is a suitcase only

9:16 am

MollyL

But that is how the conversation would go. You four, trying to "out word" each other.

9:16 am

hokie carla

I am Wednesday's child, I think I am full of grace. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

9:16 am

HarryHood

I have no grace whatsoever.

9:16 am

hokie carla

I'm the biggest klutz around

9:17 am

HarryHood

greyed the bottom row and the first column.

9:17 am

hokie carla

if that's what they mean

9:17 am

hokie carla

probably not

9:17 am

HarryHood

but I liked that character on LA Law - Grace Van Owen

9:17 am

HarryHood

the one played by Laurie Partridge.

9:17 am

mael

I think you got mad at me for using sisyphean once

9:18 am

hokie carla

still need 2 o's. will look again.

9:18 am

HarryHood

ooh that's a good one mael

9:18 am

HarryHood

just found the 2 Os :)

9:18 am

hokie carla

yes, mael's sisyphean effort to get into this dialog should not be overlooked.

9:18 am

MollyL

As I am fond of saying, Grace is not my middle name ðŸ˜Š

9:18 am

mael

I roll back down to the bottom every morning, definitely

9:19 am

HarryHood

gotta run. 20 left. have fun all!

9:20 am

mael

it took me way too long to find the lone A, hah

9:20 am

hokie carla

bye harry! 41 left here. got my work cut out for me.

9:20 am

mael

bye harry, have fun today!

9:20 am

hokie carla

found the o's. bottom row and first col gray!

9:21 am

mael

same, hokie

9:24 am

hokie carla

4th row is just 5 t's left, but they seem very elusive. like, there's only a few ways to go there and I've tried them all.

9:24 am

mael

second column gray too!

9:24 am

hokie carla

nice

9:24 am

mael

I'm missing 4 Ts and have no clue at this point

9:24 am

hokie carla

9:25 am

9:44 am

hokie carla

hmm

9:46 am

MollyL

Not a word I have ever heard used.

9:47 am

MollyL

And it's redundant.

9:47 am

hokie carla

raincan - something you stick under a leaky roof

9:48 am

MollyL

gemini_J13

what the stagecoach was

2:27 pm

MollyL

As in what came before the stagecoach

2:28 pm

MollyL

Or rather what time period it was

2:28 pm

MollyL

Another clue would be to teach a job before hand

2:29 pm

MollyL

Which is redundant because when you do the root word it is assumed it is before starting a job

Les Mills does sound a bit NZish as a name

5:19 pm

72 Temple Owl

5:19 pm

moolingwa

wonder if he's related to Kyle Mills
