well, that went pretty well for a first pass. grayed a lot of tiles. still 32 left though. 8-7-10-6-1 left.

hi Hokie!
8:36 am
marksdolly
good morning all!
8:36 am
hokie carla
hello dolly!
8:36 am
marksdolly
good to see you
8:36 am
hokie carla
you too
8:45 am
hokie carla
this is the 2nd day in a row I've wanted patois but it's not there.
8:46 am
welki
morning, babblers
8:46 am
hokie carla
hey welki!
8:48 am
welki
how's the pup doing? we've been yearning for another golden, not doing it, though
8:50 am
hokie carla
he's good. classic derpy golden.
8:50 am
hokie carla
definitely needy though, so I can see why you would hold off.
8:50 am
hokie carla
I miss having the camper to take him with us.
8:51 am
rururocks
I'm with Welki .. no more goldens for me
8:52 am
hokie carla
I need to brush him. have picked up roughly 352 tumbleweeds in the last 2 days.
8:55 am
welki
don't miss that - we keep daphne's coat short. it seemed that, no matter how many times or how well i thought i brushed her, she'd end up with matts in her ears or under her legs
8:56 am
hokie carla
yeah, I just cut out a bunch of mats in both those places.
9:00 am
welki
i feel bad about her short hair, she looks so beautiful with a show coat
9:02 am
hokie carla
she is a golden? they say you shouldn't cut them too short because it messes with the undercoat and they can't regulate temp well.
9:02 am
welki
no, she's an english cocker spaniel
9:03 am
welki
i think that's the same with most dogs, but we keep a close eye on her in the warm (and cold) weather
9:04 am
hokie carla
have you seen where people are breeding cocker spaniels with goldens to have a "mini golden"? I saw one in my neighborhood and the lady told me it was a mini, so I had to google it. it sure enough did look just like a little golden.
9:04 am
rururocks
yes.. those are called mutts hokie
9:04 am
hokie carla
everyone that had toddlers at one point knows you have to resock them
9:04 am
welki
i'm not sure how i feel about those designer breeds - last time i brought daphne in for a grooming, the whole place went wild because she wasn't a doodle
9:04 am
hokie carla
believe me ruru, I'm not for the designer breeds
9:05 am
rururocks
me neither
9:05 am
hokie carla
the doodles can have a LOT of matting issues
9:05 am
welki
actually, i'm quite sure how i feel about them, but that's not to say if someone dumped one on my deck, i wouldn't love it :)
9:05 am
rururocks
they have more issues than matting
9:06 am
welki
true - i don't get why they'd breed a golden with a bernese - goldens don't live long enough as it is
9:06 am
hokie carla
it's funny, winston hates doodles and poodles
9:06 am
hokie carla
I mean it makes me nervous, so not funny haha, but odd
9:06 am
rururocks
I'm with Winston
9:06 am
hokie carla
I mentioned it to the vet and she said, "I don't blame him, I don't like poodles either" 🤣
9:08 am
rururocks
nothing like putting brains and a bad temper in a bigger dog
9:08 am
hokie carla
I would love a bernese but they only live like 6 years. and yeah, I don't get mixing them with goldens. you're ruining both!
9:10 am
rururocks
bernese are usually 8-9 years I've met some that are 13 and 14
9:10 am
welki
well well - a little freebie
9:11 am
hokie carla
wow. I thought I had read 6-8. my SIL had one that only lasted 6.
9:11 am
rururocks
bad breeding then
9:12 am
rururocks
they are nice dogs though.. very sweet and playful
9:13 am
rururocks
i'm enjoying my two labradors right now.. they make me laugh
9:14 am
hokie carla
our first dog was a chocolate lab and he was a nightmare. dealt with dominance aggression and food aggression for 5 years and finally had to have him put down. he also had surgery 3x to remove foreign objects.
9:16 am
rururocks
my last golden Dylan was food aggressive. he settled down a lot after neutering
9:16 am
rururocks
My ex-wife said maybe that would work on me :D
9:17 am
rururocks
no.. it didn't help at all
9:18 am
welki
aw, ru, i'm sorry *lol*
9:23 am
rururocks
down to 20 words no 8's and it's a lot tougher of a grid.
9:24 am
hokie carla
our neighbors had a female golden that was always the only dog/person dominant over him, so they would feed him when we traveled and bring her over to keep him in line. the protocol was you keep him in another room, put the food down, then let him in and stay out.
9:25 am
hokie carla
it's so nice with winston I can get his water bowl while he's eating
9:25 am
hokie carla
ruru, I have 19 left and found all the 8s so I am very smug about it
9:26 am
hokie carla
and FYI - if I can find the 8s without even knowing the stats, that means they aren't hard
9:26 am
hokie carla
one is a little weird, but the other 2 are very normal
9:28 am
hokie carla
17 left - 5-5-5-2
9:29 am

my male lab is the first alpha male lab I've ever met.. usually it is the females who are alpha

hokie carla
what do you have left? I have PP AA MM CCC MM EE SSSS
9:31 am
rururocks

hurshy

9:50 am
hurshy

9:50 am
hokie carla

9:51 am
hokie carla
I have one pa4/9 and one pi4/9
9:52 am
hokie carla
ok, now I need one more
9:53 am
hurshy

9:53 am
hurshy
run of the mill stuff
9:53 am
hokie carla
yeah, all of my recent finds are easy, not sure how I didn't see them before.

hokie i guess i have the two normal 8s, can you tell me what the one you said is a little weird starts with?
10:05 am
hokie carla
oh no. all of a sudden?
10:05 am
hokie carla
it is also a pl ma8
10:06 am
hurshy
no, not all of a sudden, i woke up with a migraine :(
10:06 am
hokie carla
oh, sorry
10:06 am
hokie carla
I am still trying to recover from getting glutened last week.
10:07 am
hurshy
my plural is the weapons
10:09 am
hokie carla
this is a kind of bread that I've never heard of. rhymes with the thing that moves on a ouija board
10:09 am
hurshy
o got it!
10:09 am
hurshy
i got it and then saw your clue. but, if i hadn't got it, then your clue would have helped.
10:09 am
hokie carla
good!
10:10 am
hokie carla
there is also a 6/7 set if you drop last letter of that
10:10 am
hurshy
huh. 8-4-4-4

hurshy
oh thanks
10:17 am
hurshy

10:18 am
hurshy
(all lower R)
10:19 am
hurshy
ooh found 2 of them
10:19 am
hurshy
and the third! it's a peri-triple-play!
10:20 am
hurshy
the building blocks of protein, normally am*** acids, apparently you can double the cons
10:20 am
hokie carla
wow, I step away for a min and you go crazy.
10:20 am
hurshy
if that helps you
10:20 am
hokie carla
thanks for the e's. I was missing the ones that look like a man's name.
10:20 am
hokie carla
I have those a's, but thanks.
10:21 am
hurshy
what do you mean 'those", it's just one i think?
10:21 am
hokie carla
the single and the double cons
10:22 am
hokie carla
nm, there isn't a single
10:22 am
hurshy
you can't make it ... yeah
10:22 am
hokie carla
ah, was missing the alt sp am5/6

10:25 am
hokie carla
oh, nm. I thought you meant ciao but that is not there.
10:25 am
hokie carla
oh, my c is from the other
10:25 am
hurshy
british, not italian
10:26 am
hurshy
but you must have them already
10:26 am
hurshy
well the other C i have left is from the other
10:27 am
hokie carla
maybe abel's brother but nothing stands out. you should just check your list.
10:27 am
hokie carla
oh, you mean the other like the c I need (right side?)
10:27 am
hurshy
no i'm saying the one i still have left now, yes

10:30 am
hurshy

10:30 am
hokie carla
no, have only seen bits and pieces
10:30 am
hokie carla
what's the stat?
10:31 am
hokie carla
is it an ancient weight?
10:31 am
hurshy
not according to the ?
10:31 am
hokie carla
nm, I think that was my missing M there, thanks
10:31 am
hurshy
it's the very last M in the list of Ms today
10:32 am
hokie carla
a russian village
10:32 am
hokie carla
I got it. the ancient weight reminds me of a bird.
10:32 am
hokie carla
now C MM S
10:32 am
hokie carla
0-1-2-1
10:32 am
hurshy
CMS 1-0-1-1
10:33 am
hurshy
got my M, was a 4 that i thought i had already typed but must have messed up
10:33 am
hurshy
so the last 7 is either C or S
10:33 am
hokie carla
so what do you think my 2 are? I already made up a bunch of weird M's.
10:34 am
hurshy
which M now? or one of each?
10:34 am
hokie carla
nm, found them
10:34 am
hokie carla
now C S, a 6 and a 7
10:35 am
hokie carla
do you have an ST7? that's the one I just found.
10:35 am
hurshy
i do, yeah, that was one that i found recently
10:35 am
nrkii
do you have se6 that starts like a place where priests go?
10:35 am
hokie carla
so we could still need an S7
10:35 am
hokie carla
we've ruled nothing out!
10:36 am
hurshy
yes, i do
10:36 am
hokie carla
I do, thanks nellie
10:36 am
nrkii
plural of the british greeting c7?
10:36 am
hokie carla
it's the other C
10:36 am
nrkii
I still have 3 c's to find and 2 S's, so my hints are likely useless to you both :)
10:37 am
hokie carla
it's not the cokiest
10:37 am
hokie carla
you never know
10:37 am
hurshy
i tried that too hokie
10:37 am
hokie carla
a lot of times hurshy and I think we need the same words but don't
10:37 am
nrkii
you have the bra, I imagine
10:38 am
hokie carla
not sure about that
10:38 am
hurshy
make sure you get one with steel stays if you're going to india - whalebone stays will rot in the heat
10:38 am
hokie carla
oh, yeah I have that
10:39 am
nrkii
ooh... I found a tough one
10:39 am
hokie carla
i have tried setman a couple times too
10:39 am
hurshy
i need that!
10:39 am
hokie carla
ah, I do not have any co7, thanks
10:39 am
nrkii
co+ and ending that sounds like a u6 urinary infection
10:40 am
hurshy
so we were missing the same one for a change! lol
10:40 am
hurshy
which leaves S6, and we both have the one nrkii said, and there aren't any others in my list, so we must ALSO be missing the same S
10:41 am
hokie carla
yeah, and I'm just thinking UTI. can't see what I need to. will look for the S now.
10:41 am
hurshy
phantom: stereo
10:41 am
nrkii
go for the latin UTI
10:41 am

10:50 am
hokie carla
well, I am around my computer so if you want any help or guesses, let me know
10:51 am
nrkii
tyvm... seeing I just now found the io4/4, I think I may still have some easy ones in front of me :)
10:53 am
hokie carla
I made up quite a few M's, but I think everything else was easy, regular words, just hard to see some.
10:53 am
nrkii
oh, here's an ask... I have ro8 and ma8... could you tell me the stats for the other 8?
10:54 am
nrkii
I tried "before the hosiery" but that a8 is apparently not a word.
10:55 am
nrkii
(I always love to play with nonsense words when we have "before" or "against" an4 in the grid.
11:00 am

I'll send a video news report nan.. I'm not worried about it.. it's nothing compared to the lawlessness of SF
11:39 am
hokie carla
yeah, that's sad. SF was one of my favorite places I've been to.
11:40 am
rururocks
it's just certain bad neighborhoods, but it's really problematic out here for sure hokie. It's just gotten really bad with an ineffective DA and lousy mayor
11:40 am
hokie carla
they are saying that wasn't a random stabbing of that guy now, right? I never thought it was.
11:41 am
rururocks
no.. it seemed to be some kind of weird brother/sister protection issue
11:42 am
hokie carla
oh, now I'm going to have to google. last I saw they said the suspect but no other info.
