Okay first run through and I have 28 words left. Managed to find the 7. Will come back later to see if I can find anymore words. Happy babbling everyone!

3:16 am

rubyfoo

hellozzoozz

3:16 am

rubyfoo

still working on first run-through

3:17 am

zoozzoom

((Ruby)) How are things with you?

3:18 am

rubyfoo

I'm hanging on. Pain control is the biggest issue and "they" keep changing my meds

3:18 am

rubyfoo

How about you?

3:19 am

zoozzoom

Sorry to hear they keep changing your meds. I suppose they are trying to find which one best suits you.

3:19 am

zoozzoom

I am up and down. Mostly down but nothing major lol

3:20 am

zoozzoom

The weather here has cooled. expected rain on Friday. How is the weather where you are?

3:22 am

rubyfoo

I I worry more about Rufie than I do about me. I think he had a breakdown yesterday, wouldn't come down stairs for more than a day, stayed up there crying

3:23 am

rubyfoo

<Nothing II could do comforted him

3:23 am

rubyfoo

He needs a dog shrink, too much anxiety. Maybe I should give him on of my Xanax.

3:23 am

zoozzoom

Oh poor thing. Has he hurt his paws or got arthritis type symptoms maybe and it is painful fo4r him to do the stairs?

3:24 am

rubyfoo

Max, the dog in my profile picture, was autistic, and when I put him on Prozac, he did much better

3:25 am

rubyfoo

It's hard to tell, but he is ageing (like all of us -- not you, of courses LOL

3:25 am

zoozzoom

Well I know nothing about medicines for dogs so can offer no advice on what human medicines can do for dogs.

3:26 am

zoozzoom

Oh trust me, Ruby I am not feeling young at all. I am stressed to the hilt but you do what you have to do lol

3:27 am

rubyfoo

Some meds can help them while others can be lethal. I got the idea for Prozac from Temple Grandin, who is, herself, autistic

3:28 am

rubyfoo

I tke Sertralie which, I think, is like Zoloft.

3:28 am

rubyfoo

Sertraline*

3:28 am

zoozzoom

Does Raffie not comfort him at all?

3:30 am

rubyfoo

She got very upset when he cried; she's such a sweet dog

3:30 am

zoozzoom

Bless. I hate to see animals not as happy as they are normally.

3:31 am

zoozzoom

tmesis

3:31 am

zoozzoom

very sorry everyone

3:31 am

rubyfoo

sorry? I'm delighted!!

3:32 am

zoozzoom

I suppose a vet is out of the question?

3:33 am

rubyfoo

Their vet is on holiday in Japan

3:34 am

zoozzoom

How inconsiderate of them. Hope they are back soon. Although I would of thought they had someone covering for them.

3:35 am

rubyfoo

They do, but it's too hard with a stranger. He is more of a fusspot than his ma (me)

3:36 am

zoozzoom

Haha! I get it.

3:37 am

zoozzoom

Well my time is up for now I had better get round to parents and tend to their needs. ((Ruby)) Nice to see you as always. Take care and hugs to your babies.

3:38 am

rubyfoo

Bye zzoozz, try to cheer up -- at least it's no longer hot

5:18 am

2:21 pm

72 Temple Owl

has anyone used the x?

2:22 pm

dizgrannie

ix 5 and 6

3:33 pm

sukee

Maybe someone here now would give me a clue for the ix 5 and/or 6. I asked someone earlier who had it but was ignored. Sorry to be negative but you would think people who ask for so much help would be willing to help others. End of rant.

3:36 pm

mattygroves

ix + what you do to a shoelace (or what some men wear around their necks)

3:36 pm

mattygroves

And plural

3:37 pm

mattygroves

Sorry, scratch that

3:37 pm

mattygroves

It looks like that with my smallish screen.

3:37 pm

mattygroves

it's ix + consonant and then the last two of the neckwear

3:37 pm

mattygroves

NOOOO!! Then the last letter of the neckwear.

3:38 pm

mattygroves

I should have kept quiet ;)

3:38 pm

sukee

LOL, I appreciate the help :)

3:38 pm

mattygroves

It's a fibre, apparently

3:39 pm

mattygroves

How are you, sukee?

3:39 pm

sukee

I will try and figure it out

3:39 pm

mattygroves

ix + what the neckwear word would be if there were a similarly shaped consonant in the middle instead of the i

3:39 pm

sukee

I got it :)

3:40 pm

sukee

TY

3:40 pm

mattygroves

Good. Whew! Sorry about that

3:40 pm

sukee

I'm okay, not enjoying this sticky weather but better than snow.

3:40 pm

sukee

It made me laugh :)

3:40 pm

mattygroves

I'm tired, that's my excuse. I'm sitting up in bed just vaguely browsing and babbling until my eyes won't stay open any more

3:41 pm

sukee

Well, it's what almost 11?

3:41 pm

mattygroves

No, nearly 10

3:42 pm

sukee

I did that last night with a game until my eyes started closing

3:42 pm

mattygroves

But I get up at 6.30, and Jeff (my OH) is away as his mum died Sunday night so I'm just killing time

3:42 pm

sukee

I go to bed early too, 9 usually because I get up early. Last night I was watching TV until 11.

3:43 pm

sukee

Sorry to hear about the death.

3:43 pm

mattygroves

Thanks. It wasn't totally unexpected, but it's tough nevertheless for him

3:43 pm

sukee

It always is.

3:44 pm

mattygroves

I know - both my parents have died so I've been there - I really feel for him

3:45 pm

sukee

Is there more than one ps works as far as you know?

3:47 pm

sukee

words that is

3:48 pm

mattygroves

I don't even have one - how many letters?

3:48 pm

mattygroves

Never mind - got it

3:48 pm

mattygroves

I haven't listed so I can't say for sure

3:49 pm

sukee

I guess maybe I should list, have 26 left

3:49 pm

mattygroves

I can now say with certainty there is only one (like Highlander)

3:49 pm

sukee

TY

3:49 pm

mattygroves

There's a ph, a pi, and that ps

3:51 pm

sukee

Found the pi

3:51 pm

sukee

Found the pi

3:51 pm

mattygroves

Can you tell me anything about the O, except for the oi4 which I have (the really obvious, lubricating one)?

3:51 pm

sukee

The other one is OH 4/6

3:51 pm

sukee

I only have 2

3:52 pm

mattygroves

Ah hah! That one resisted me ;)

3:52 pm

sukee

LOL

3:58 pm

sukee

Found the PH...it is a relief.

4:00 pm

MollyL

Matty, sorry to hear about Jeff's mother.

4:01 pm

dcseain

phantom phlox

4:06 pm

dcseain

huh. it's tempera not tempra. I think i knew that at some point -- that the spelling didn't match how it's said.

4:08 pm

lynxxx

morning all - for the other Os try oh4.5 which looks like a US state, and ox4.10 which ends in the middle of what a clock tells

4:08 pm

MollyL

Sukee, I really don't think anyone was meaning to ignore you earlier. If you look back at the chat, clues were offered after you may have left the chat.

4:08 pm

dcseain

oh, fishy! Thanks, lyn

4:09 pm

sukee

You are probably right, I guess the heat has me a bit sensitive.

4:09 pm

dcseain

The bread that's baking smells like it'll be done soon. :)

4:10 pm

dcseain

we had 3h of severe thunderstorms here. The sun is finally out again, which is nice. Oh, the bread is done. BBS

4:12 pm

sukee

Ty Lynxxx

4:12 pm

mattygroves

Thanks lynxx for the clue, and Molly for the condolences

4:12 pm

mattygroves

She'd been ill a while and was suffering from dementia as well - but it's still hard for him

4:14 pm

sukee

DC, I would love a thunderstorm, we have one forecast almost every day that never comes.

4:15 pm

dcseain

We get lots of them here.

4:16 pm

dcseain

I remember watching storms roll in off of Lake Erie visiting family in Cleveland, OH.

4:16 pm

lynxxx

what bread have you made DC?

4:17 pm

dcseain

A 2/3 whole wheat sandwich bread. The other third is 00 flour.

4:17 pm

dcseain

with milk and butter instead of water and oil.

4:18 pm

lynxxx

interesting - what does the milk and butter do to it?

4:18 pm

dcseain

Today's storms here came from the South, which is unusual. Usually the come from the W or SW, off of the mountains.

4:19 pm

dcseain

milk and butter make a softer crust, and a fluffier, even crumb, if denser than Japanese Milk Bread, which i'll make again soon.

4:21 pm

sukee

FW

4:21 pm

lynxxx

not heard of japanese milk bread, will look it up. I did some bread making a few years ago but always battled with kneading and proving but starting to get interested again

4:21 pm

dcseain

i see a proper name in the grid: Weems. The Parson Mason Locke Weems, of Dumfries, Virginia, wrote the first biography of George Washington and invented the cherry tree myth.

4:21 pm

dcseain

yay sukee!

4:21 pm

lynxxx

congrats Sukee

4:22 pm

dcseain

I used this recipe, with success: https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/10\n16275-japanese-milk-bread

4:22 pm

sukee

Anyone need a clue?

4:22 pm

dcseain

double the dry ingredients if you want to use all the tangzhuang.

4:23 pm

dcseain

i'm good for now, thanks, sukee. I have 11 to go.

4:23 pm

dcseain

oops, bad bath. 64 to go, almost halfway LOLLOL

4:24 pm

dcseain

math, not bath.

4:24 pm

sukee

:)

4:24 pm

dcseain

oh, that link, remove the /n

4:25 pm

sukee

Well, I am off, good luck all

4:25 pm

dcseain

be well :)

4:25 pm

sukee

You too.

4:27 pm

lynxxx

thanks DC, had a quick read and on file now

4:27 pm

dcseain

oh, a short fi4 i worked on: The Tell-Tale Plant , won best picture, best acting, best sound, and best use of prop in the Baltimore 48 Hour Film Project competition. It'll play at Filmapalooza in Rotterdam in March.

4:27 pm

dcseain

it makes a light, fluffy, slightly sweet loaf that is great for sandwiches, toasts nicely, and is the bread used to make panko.

4:31 pm

hoyamd

FW

4:34 pm

tessagram

Would you guys like a clue for anything?

4:35 pm

lynxxx

Ok just let me know if you need anything

4:40 pm

dcseain
