hello all

6:38 am

Scrabbler

Good morning.

6:39 am

aslindy

Hi! How's the shoulder?

6:40 am

Scrabbler

I am doing very well. Minimal pain in the last week.

6:40 am

aslindy

good to hear!

6:40 am

Scrabbler

Is you toe almost healed?

6:42 am

aslindy

getting there. also a bone in the foot is broken, that will take longer

6:42 am

Scrabbler

Two fractures?

6:43 am

aslindy

yes

6:43 am

Scrabbler

Ouch.

7:12 am

BzznBea

Scrabs! Been wondering how you are doing.

7:14 am

Scrabbler

I am doing very well, better than I expected.

7:15 am

BzznBea

Good to hear.

7:27 am

sukee

Good morning

7:27 am

Scrabbler

hi sukee

7:28 am

sukee

What did I miss, what did you hurt Scrabs?

7:29 am

Scrabbler

Shoulder injury 8 months ago. 3 of 4 rotator cuff tendons were torn and the biceps tendon too. Surgery was Feb 14.

7:30 am

sukee

Ouch. Glad you recovering.

7:31 am

sukee

I remember hurting a rotator cuff and it was painful. Luckily, it healed quickly

7:32 am

Scrabbler

Time and PT did not help and then an MRI showed the damages.

7:33 am

sukee

Well, glad you got the surgery and hope it doesn't take too long for you to be pain free.

7:33 am

Scrabbler

reright

7:33 am

Scrabbler

Not a word, unfortunately.

7:34 am

sukee

Didn't stop me from trying it though :)

8:09 am

Scrabbler

66 left and I am done. See you tomorrow.

8:30 am

8:32 am

hokie carla

I've been here a while, though on a phone call for most of it. I can't even get half on the tiles I've tried, so I definitely haven't found any 8s.

8:36 am

BzznBea

8:36 am

MollyL

8:37 am

rururocks

I need to leave a trail of popcorn for my obscure jokes

8:42 am

hokie carla

8:44 am

MollyL

I'm thinking a big neon sign THIS IS A JOKE

8:46 am

penquis

8:46 am

rururocks

maybe that would be good for a lot of people here.. anyone can whip it out when they're making a joke that people take seriously

8:46 am

MollyL

I was waiting for someone here to say it wasn't that hard

8:47 am

MollyL

Jokes get taken seriously here a lot

8:47 am

rururocks

you won't hear that from me

8:48 am

rururocks

(pulls out neon sign)

8:50 am

BzznBea

Sometimes jokes can alsos being be used as double entendre.

8:50 am

rururocks

that's my forte

8:51 am

mael

hey call, what a time to come into the chat today :)

8:52 am

MollyL

What do you mean by that mael? Are you trying to insinuate something? ðŸ˜Š

8:52 am

mael

not I!

8:53 am

Freeman

Good morning, could some give me a clue for the st7

8:53 am

Freeman

It is the on after the st4/6

8:53 am

mael

I have at least 6 st7s so far

8:53 am

rururocks

which one?

8:53 am

penquis

i have one that is a pt....

8:54 am

penquis

also have two that end in vowels....with double consonants in them....

8:54 am

penquis

the pt also has double consonants....

8:55 am

penquis

and one that is a "one who" word....

8:55 am

Freeman

It is the one between the st4/6 and the st4/4

8:55 am

mael

make that 7 st7s

8:56 am

rururocks

I only have six s7

8:57 am

penquis

Freeman....that is one i do not have....

8:58 am

rururocks

oh i found it

8:58 am

rururocks

it's like a young actress with a different starting vowel

8:59 am

penquis

ty, ru...

8:59 am

mael

I found it too! thanks for telling us it was there, freeman :)

8:59 am

Freeman

Thanks

8:59 am

rururocks

is freeman marc freeman?

9:07 am

phaeton

any clues for the re8?

9:07 am

phaeton

the first one

9:08 am

phaeton

re8/50

9:08 am

penquis

to set up your needle to sew again....

9:08 am

penquis

only one i have....

9:08 am

rururocks

to redo sewing

9:08 am

phaeton

ty

9:09 am

hurshy

the other re8 i have is a plural, pen - getaways, sometimes for reflection

9:09 am

mael

all normal words for once

9:09 am

rururocks

well the cl7 isn't normal

9:09 am

penquis

ty, hursh...

9:09 am

rururocks

I sure can't find that one

9:10 am

hurshy

are you saying you have the other 8 and it is also normal, mael?

9:10 am

mael

the 8s I mean :)

9:10 am

mael

yes

9:10 am

hurshy

what does it start with

9:10 am

rururocks

ur

9:10 am

mael

two re8s and one ur8

9:11 am

hurshy

ah, thanks

9:11 am

MollyL

cl7 rhymes with an S word that means a person, especially a lawyer, who uses unscrupulous, fraudulent, or deceptive methods in business

9:11 am

Freeman

I have the pl 8 but can I get a clue for the other one, please?

9:11 am

hurshy

*wonders what grid freeman is playing*

9:12 am

rururocks

thank you molly

9:12 am

mael

just clued, to use a needle again

9:12 am

Freeman

I wonder myself but did someone clue it already and I missed it????

9:12 am

hurshy

ohhh i see, the plural 8, not the pl8, lol

9:12 am

MollyL

*Looks for a P in the grid. *Fails to find it

9:13 am

Freeman

Yes sorry for the confusion the one I need is the re8 the one that is not the plural.

9:13 am

MollyL

That is why using pl sometimes gets confusing. It's not that hard to spell out plural ðŸ˜Š

9:14 am

Freeman

No it's not again sorry, I'll go into the penalty box

9:14 am

mael

I was gonna say rhymes with the delicious mollusk

9:14 am

MollyL

You would get argument from those who do not find them delicious

9:15 am

hurshy

ah thank you for that one mael. a less exact rhyme but i couldn't think of the word Molly was referring to, so having both clues helped

9:16 am

mael

yw :)

9:22 am

hurshy

phantom: artery

9:23 am

mael

remembered the el6/24, after a decade of playing...

9:23 am

hurshy

i was proud of remembering that one too!

9:25 am

mael

FW!

9:26 am

mael

not a bad grid, if twisty

9:26 am

hurshy

i think i dreamed a television show. it was sort of like quantum leap in that it involved jumping from person to person, but i think it was darker

9:27 am

hurshy

congrats, mael!

9:33 am

hurshy

i was amused when ruru said "i only have six s7"

9:33 am

hurshy

because that seems like a lot

9:34 am

hurshy

but now i have 8 of them so

9:37 am

rururocks

this grid just got frustrating to me

9:37 am

hokie carla

not a fan on the little bit I've played

9:40 am

hurshy

i'm struggling with it, but, i'm also feeling like crap, so, idk how much that is hampering my word finding skills

9:43 am

periwinkle

Kaplan the Magne

Silly rabbit- don't you know Trix are for Kids?

10:18 am

Kaplan the Magne

I date myself.

10:18 am

Kaplan the Magne

I'm the only one who will have me.

10:29 am

MollyL

If the Trix rabbit were still around he would probably be cancelled because (like Pepe LePew) he "normalized rape culture" (according to some stretchers of the truth)

10:31 am

Kaplan the Magne

how did the rabbit normalize rape culture?

10:31 am

Kaplan the Magne

And there goes The Rape of the Lock.

10:32 am

MollyL

I don't think he did. But the way things are nowadays, I am surprised the whole name Trix is still allowed since it alludes to prostitution.

10:44 am

Kaplan the Magne

that's a stretch. Then we could not have a Pope John. Think all the witty replies, but don't take them out loud.

10:48 am

MollyL

Well, it is a stretch to say that Pepe LePew, a romantic little skunk "normalized rape culture".

10:49 am

Kaplan the Magne

who says that?

10:49 am

Kaplan the Magne

Molly, trix is not tricks.

10:51 am

Kaplan the Magne

How about the alleged statement of transfolx wanting to erase "You make me feel like a natural woman" from Spotify? They took it back and said it was satire.

10:52 am

Kaplan the Magne

That's what I get from looking at junk news on the internet.

10:52 am

MollyL

Whoever is responsible for Pepe LePew being taken out of Space Jam 2.

10:53 am

Kaplan the Magne

I didn't know anything about that

72 Temple Owl

dare i point out the recent rewriting of Roald Dahl's books?

11:00 am

MollyL

It's just more evidence of our overly sensitive culture.

11:01 am

72 Temple Owl

i am rather sick of cancel culture. how do you learn from history if you erase it?

11:01 am

MollyL

Isn't it illegal to re-write books?

11:02 am

72 Temple Owl

perhaps our great great grandchildren will look back at THIS and wonder what the hell we were thinking.

11:02 am

72 Temple Owl

not by th publisher. i can scout up the article. referrrinf to one character as fat was one thing.

11:03 am

Kaplan the Magne

TO that is a travesty. . Some things should be cancelled, or put in a museum and given proper context. There WAS a Civil War, and there WERE Southern Generals. Let them tell their stories in a museum about the civil war and not in th town square, glorified.

11:03 am

MollyL

I am reading about it now. Apparently the words "mother" and "father" are now offensive. WTF?

11:03 am

Kaplan the Magne

If the human race survives they will be wondering about what we were thinking about a lot of things.

11:04 am

Kaplan the Magne

Where are you reading this?

11:04 am

MollyL

A New York Times article.

11:05 am

Kaplan the Magne

In the humor section? Oh, I forgot, the Times doesn't have one.

11:05 am

72 Temple Owl

*guffaw*

11:06 am

MollyL

A writers work should NEVER be allowed to be re-written. What's next? Is someone going to re-paint the Mona Lisa?

11:07 am

72 Temple Owl

i read it in the brit press, may be one of their rags, but there was a whole list of things in the publishing world, likw an aithoer who had a certain med conidtion and wrote about it but still had to go through whatever the censors are called to have it examined for offensiveness. in thes day , cannot be sure how accurate that is.

11:08 am

Deeha

We have a little pub in the next village. We recently had about 2 inches of rain and they had to put up 40 people overnight who were stuck!! It made the New York Times!!

11:08 am

72 Temple Owl

perhaps i can find it.

11:09 am

Kaplan the Magne

My grandnephew was reading from a book of IB Singer stories for children, and he asked "what's a bridegroom" and his mother grabbed the book from him. They are far to the right on the Orthodox spectrum, so if a book by a Jew who is not Orthodox is not permitted. Harry Potter is OK because JK Rowling is not Jewish, and Series of Unfortunate Events Slipped by them, because they didn't know Lemony Snickett is David Handler.

11:09 am

Deeha

that wasnt offensive it just took me a long time to type!!

11:11 am

Kaplan the Magne

We are getting from the left and the right.

11:12 am

72 Temple Owl

here is a start but not the one i read with detail in the british press. https://tinyurl.com/h6asaw48

Meanwhile the same links lead me to Dahl's overt anti-Semitism, and the decades it took for his progeny to apology. He said some really foul things- that there is something about the Jew that makes him particularly abhorrent, therefore a likely target for Hitler.

11:19 am

Kaplan the Magne

So we're changing fat to enormous, but not reckoning with a myriad of anti-Jewish statements.

11:20 am

Kaplan the Magne

This is the problem with the inclusion movement, To include more people, the perhaps unintended result is exclusion of others.

11:39 am

72 Temple Owl

kap i have read about that. i am shocked in real life how many people hold similar beliefs.

11:44 am

MollyL

Are there anti-Jewish statements
in Dahl's books?

11:45 am

72 Temple Owl

no but he was not shy about voicing his opinion on them in a way very offensive to them.

11:47 am

MollyL

Oh I know he was publicly anti-semitic, but
I didn't think anything in his children's books was.

11:51 am

72 Temple Owl

naw, did not mean to stir things up. just focusing on the rewrites. but i really wanted to find the article on the new reality of authorship in the current climate. and i am waiting for one of our friends across the pond to weigh in on th guardian. but it is interesting to see the comments on both sides, from peoplr like Rushdie.

12:09 pm

ch1212

OOdd. My chat box seems to have shrunk. The text doesn't show everything and the box moves to the left as I type so I can continue reading. Is this something new?

12:12 pm

ch1212

I should clarify. The box moves to the left as I type. I have to manually move the bottom cursor to read entries.

12:12 pm

Kizah

12:15 pm

it will resolve itself once the offending post scrolls off.

I go back to old favorites like A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, which I practically know by heart so next I will tackle it in Spanish.

1:32 pm

Freeman

cl7, please?

1:33 pm

smithchick

Bye, Peri

1:33 pm

MollyL

cl7 sounds like an S word that means a person, especially a lawyer, who uses unscrupulous, fraudulent, or deceptive methods in business.

1:33 pm

smithchick

cl7/40 Like a nunnery but without the vowel.

1:33 pm

hokie carla

ah, thanks

1:33 pm

MollyL

Also ends like a seafood that some people eat as "steamers"

1:34 pm

hokie carla

LOL, never would have guessed it means enema

1:34 pm

MollyL

Doesn't the nun place have two vowels?

1:35 pm

smithchick

Yes, I meant the first vowel.

1:36 pm

hokie carla

was also thinking nun place plus similiar to stuff grouped together, some people like to use a cl7 f word to describe a messed up sitch

1:36 pm

MollyL

I know it as spelled with an oi. Must be variant spellings

1:36 pm

smithchick

Ah, I guess so. Or I'm just wrong, lol

1:37 pm

BzznBea

I love the cl7 f word.

1:37 pm

MollyL

That would be a bitch of a sitch

1:37 pm

hokie carla

ðŸ˜

1:37 pm

BzznBea

I also use the term fluster cluck.

1:38 pm

hokie carla

wouldn't it be fluster cuck? and I had to double take there to see what you were saying that was different

1:38 pm

hokie carla

or fuster cluck has a nice ring

1:39 pm

BzznBea

The sound of electric tools is about to drive me insane!

1:39 pm

BzznBea

I don't like the word cuck

1:40 pm

hokie carla

that's why I said fuster cluck

1:46 pm

BzznBea

Finally found my last 8

1:54 pm

2:14 pm

cybernan

guess I haven't got down to the tough part yet -- found yesterdays so tough that I quit before finishing

2:21 pm

Freeman

I'm really sorry but the clues for cl7 I just didn't get. Is there some other clue out there?

2:23 pm

MollyL

It is a cl7. Substitute cl for the O in a kind of shellfish that you eat as steamers or people make Christmas stew out of.

2:24 pm

hokie carla

google medical term for enema

2:24 pm

MollyL

The shellfish are also in The Walrus and The Carpenter. Only shellfish that starts with O

2:24 pm

hokie carla

wikipedia pops up and says enema, also known as cl7

2:24 pm

MollyL

You can use Carla's clue, but it's shitty

2:25 pm

cybernan

think of the mollusk that produces pearls and substitute the o with cl

2:26 pm

Freeman

That was great got it thanks

2:30 pm
