11:22 am
hurshy
none of them are too "out there"
11:22 am
hokie carla
prob something easy
11:22 am
hokie carla
or something I thought I entered isn't actually there
11:23 am

hurshy
perhaps the first ca word, ca5/16
11:24 am
penquis
hmmm....
11:25 am
penquis
i have that ca 5 from another C....
11:25 am
hokie carla
the 5 is a big pole the scots toss around and the tooth decay is ca6
11:25 am
penquis
i am missing one from the second column C....
11:26 am
penquis
i have that one....
11:26 am
hokie carla
ah, then maybe ce4/6 (either one)
11:27 am
penquis
i have two ce 4/6 already....
11:28 am

hokie carla
ce4, 4, 5, 6, 4
11:29 am
penquis
have that penny....
11:30 am
hurshy
well then you have to have missed the 5 on which the 6 is based
11:30 am
penquis
ooh...noticed that i did not have the root of the ce 6....duh....
11:31 am
hokie carla
well, I think I will list for the last 10. seeing nothing.

11:32 am
penquis
missing that one then....
11:33 am
hokie carla
there is a 7 before, so I assume a pl
11:34 am
penquis
regular word?
11:34 am
hurshy
it's a kind of rock, apparently
11:34 am
hurshy
no, not regular
11:34 am
hurshy
the only clue i can think is homophone for spock's mother's last name, so if you're not a big trekkie...
11:35 am
hokie carla
so annoyed at my A, thought I looked for that
11:36 am
hurshy
what was it
11:36 am
hurshy
oh, have that, i need something else
11:36 am
hurshy
got mine!
11:37 am
hokie carla
maybe ar6 or 5
11:37 am
hokie carla
the 5 is filch
11:37 am
hurshy
it was just a 4, a babblet/roman god
11:37 am
hurshy
i get them mixed up sometimes if i'm not careful
11:38 am
hurshy
so i think you have a G that i need, hokie, cause you said you needed 2 and yours are the 7 and 8
11:38 am
hokie carla
geez, 2 of my b's were a fabric I've never heard of and the other 2 were colors
11:38 am
hokie carla
nothing else odd in the g's, prob gi4 or ge4
11:38 am
hurshy
*ponders these b clues*
11:39 am
hurshy
aha yes i don't have a gi
11:39 am
hokie carla
the b colors are very regular words
11:39 am
hurshy
maybe i have those then and miss something else?
11:39 am
hurshy
i have br5 that is a metal/color
11:40 am
hokie carla
be5, kinda tan
11:40 am
hurshy
is that one that you mean?
11:40 am
hurshy
ohhhh thanks
11:40 am
hurshy
was the fabric a 6/7 pair? or is our last 7 something else
11:41 am
hokie carla
yes, ba6/7
11:42 am
hokie carla
well, my lower s was sa4/4
11:42 am
hurshy

11:42 am
hokie carla

11:42 am
hokie carla
my R is re6/27 and I can't find
11:42 am
hurshy
got an S!
11:43 am
hurshy
looks like i need that one also
11:43 am
hokie carla
there is a sa5 that looks like a pl
11:43 am
hurshy
re6 looks like it has to do with kings, very latin
11:44 am
hurshy
i think i have that sa5 hokie
11:45 am
hurshy
got my last S, it was an sc6/21
11:45 am
hurshy
which leaves me with one R5
11:46 am
hokie carla
or, looks like it sounds like the late talk show host, philbin
11:46 am
hokie carla
do you have re5 before that 6?
11:46 am
penquis
do you have re 5/14?...that is it...
11:46 am
hurshy
oh that was my five yeah!
11:46 am
hurshy
woot woot!
11:47 am
hurshy

hokie carla

11:47 am
hurshy
thanks to the cooperation i didn't even need the list or anything else!
11:48 am
hokie carla
was struggling with the bee and just went back and the pangram popped right out
11:48 am
hurshy
isn't it funny how that happens
11:49 am
hurshy
i do some bees on other sites, one where you can store up to 50 games in unlimited mode. so there was one i had been doing awhile back that i just couldn't see the pangram for, and then when i went back to it weeks later, pow, there it was - BORSCHT
11:51 am
hokie carla
NYT has added where you can play previous ones, but it's kind of annoying when I just want to see yesterday's answers. Before I clicked one thing, now there's like 7 steps to get to the answers.
11:51 am
penquis

12:40 pm

12:41 pm
periwinkle
not getting your clue hokie
12:42 pm
hokie carla
not really an easy one to clue. hurshy said it sounded like spock's mother's last name. I looked it up.

Spock's mother's last name? Who knows what that is?

1:22 pm
MollyL
The vowels are not switched, they are exactly the same
1:23 pm
MollyL
Okay I'm blind. Two vowels are switched.
1:27 pm
MollyL
It's easier to figure out from the chocolate than the Spock's mother thing.
1:28 pm
hokie carla
agreed
1:29 pm
hokie carla
I didn't even know spock had a mother on the show
1:40 pm

miss2bit is wrapping up 7th grade next week
5:45 pm
Trifioso
oh my god, no way! that just FLOORED me
5:45 pm
dan2bit
yes I need to update my profile photo
5:47 pm
Trifioso
especially if she gets wind of it, lol
5:48 pm
dan2bit
definitely
5:48 pm
Trifioso
such a weird age - they need our love the most, but deserve it the least
5:51 pm
dan2bit
indeed - she is claiming her space. last week she got to go to her first rock concert where she picked the band (as opposed to the 3 I've dragged her to)
5:51 pm
Trifioso
who did she pick?
5:51 pm
dan2bit
LoveJoy, a UK band I'd never heard of
5:52 pm
Trifioso
i have heard of the band, but don't know their music. did you have to go to, or did she go with friends?
5:53 pm
dan2bit
I was the car service, her mom was the chaperone. The venue was just too large and sold out for us to be comfortable without eyes on her
5:53 pm
Trifioso
i hear that! Good on you for doing it as a team. I am impressed
5:54 pm
Trifioso
i have five days of school left this year, and then I have to find somewhere new to teach. My contract was not renewed, breaking my heart in two.
5:54 pm
dan2bit
this was also the first year that middle school dances returned. snapped me right back to my own awkward time
5:55 pm
Trifioso
do they still close them out to "Hey Jude?"
5:55 pm
dan2bit
ugh Trif that's awful. miss2bit's favorite chorus director is not returning for 8th grade, she is sad. You know, I forgot to ask what the last dance was. I did drop off not pick up
5:56 pm
harpjane

sorry to hear that, trif.

thanks. I cried for three days, now I am just bitter
6:04 pm
72 Temple Owl
their loss.
6:07 pm
Trifioso
I am the one with no health insurance, sadly
6:07 pm
Trifioso
it is such a strange scenario - the principal told me in may that she was not renewing my contract, but I had to teach for something like seven more weeks. It has been AWFUL - I am the lamest of lame ducks
6:08 pm
dan2bit
that seems needlessly cruel
6:10 pm
Trifioso
well, I have learned a lot this year. Lesson one - I will never set up a classroom so fully again. I moved in for the rest of my teaching years, and will need a damn uhaul to get it all home. Second, NEVER love a job like that again. Be passionate about the students, but not the system, as it will screw you over in a heartbeat. Third - these people are coworkers, NOT real friends. Friends are for after work
6:10 pm
dan2bit
ugh. well I hope your next whatever is a better place for you to move in and love
6:11 pm
Trifioso
thanks. I have two offers on the table, but neither is quite right yet. Meeting with the senior admins of both next week, hope to define further
6:12 pm
harpjane
what's the 9 please?
6:13 pm
harpjane
ok, related to the other cr's?

Hi Trif! So angry to read about your job. Something similar happened to me - teaching is the same everywhere. But I found another job and ended up moving to Aus!! So, I'm sure it'll work out OK for you too.

Hi, Trif. I also am so sorry to hear what happened to you. Hope you find something soon.

No - I wasn't suggesting that as an option - but it all worked out OK. 3 years later I even ended up back at the school I had loved so much! You never know what's in store for you. But I really hope everything works out for you - I'm sure it will.

Liz, I spent five weeks in Aus, all of April and a few days in May. I had a great time!
6:37 pm
Lizlin
For me, I tried to make it work with the new principal, but she effectively created a whole new staff - then the governors saw her for what she was and got rid of her and asked me back! I was very lucky but in the meantime met my future partner which ultimately led me to Aus.

Oh so happy you loved Aus, Harp. I love it here and wouldn't move back to the UK, though I do miss friends and family. Did you get to Queensland?
6:38 pm
Lizlin
And that's fireworks for me!

That gr 7/8 is really hard to clue - someone clued it earlier which gave it to me - I'll search to try to find the clue.

No, we missed Queensland, we started in Tassie then Ulura, then Western Australia, with a couple of days in Sydney at the end. I heard Queensland was really muggy!
6:44 pm

gr 7: g + lift up with differet first vowel consonant.
pl. for the 8
6:44 pm
Lizlin
And thanks to everyone who clued - I'd never finish without that help. Have a good day / evening everyone.
6:46 pm
Lizlin
Uluru is on my bucket list! Queensland can be muggy but it's not awful! It's never muggy by the ocean and the Gt Barrier Reef is worth seeing before it becomes totally bleached.
6:46 pm
Lizlin
OK - time to do some baking. Have a good day everyone!
