Is it too early to ask for a clue for the ar9?

6:36 am

Haz1558

There isn't an ar9, the 9 is ro9.

6:36 am

FrenchToast

you mean ar7/8 combo??

6:36 am

FrenchToast

The one who excites the otheris the ar7

6:36 am

Alleyn58

That would help!!

6:37 am

Haz1558

ro9 where birds of a feather flock together

6:37 am

Alleyn58

Thanks - for the ar 7/8 - now for the ro9!!

6:39 am

6:40 am

Haz1558

Good for you, makes you feel accomplished, doesn't it?

6:42 am

Alleyn58

Indeed - therapy during lockdown!

6:42 am

Haz1558

Are you still shielding?

6:43 am

Alleyn58

slees

6:43 am

Alleyn58

Sorry - but not a word!

6:46 am

Alleyn58

Being very careful - hubby nearly 80 and I have bad asthma - however by tomorrow will have seen all 7 grandkids.

6:47 am

Haz1558

Lovely, that will have helped.

6:50 am

72 Temple Owl

hello

6:51 am

Haz1558

Hello, TO.

6:51 am

72 Temple Owl

how are you?

6:52 am

Haz1558

I'm well, getting used to not being in complete lockdown - I had my hair done this week but it is weird to be wearing a mask while getting it done.

6:53 am

Haz1558

Our daughter flew over from London for a few days so it was lovely to have her, first since Christmas although we've had regular family zoom sessions.

6:53 am

72 Temple Owl

we only just came out two weeks ago but not fully. i have eschewed the salon for now but i am rethinking that.

6:53 am

72 Temple Owl

not seeing loved ones is very hard.

6:54 am

Haz1558

My hairdresser has a tiny salon, room for maximum of two but doing one at a time, masks on etc.

6:55 am

Haz1558

It is difficult, only saw my sister for the first time in three months the weekend daughter was over.

6:55 am

72 Temple Owl

same here. but they are anxious to get back to workk and it makes me nervous. the city has never fully reopened, they have a spike. may be related to protests.

6:56 am

72 Temple Owl

and travel to seaside resorts is also causing a surge. the young people thing.

6:57 am

Haz1558

Yes, they think they're invincible.

6:57 am

72 Temple Owl

politics as well. they are snxious for their time, and boomers are in the way.

6:58 am

72 Temple Owl

had that at work.if layoffs were threatedned, they kept saying they were just starting families and why didn't we just leave?

6:59 am

Haz1558

It's a pretty entitled attitude to take, look out for yourself and worry about nobody else.

7:00 am

72 Temple Owl

i don't know bout your part of the word for sure, but it's certainly true here.

7:01 am

72 Temple Owl

it's like the 60s all over again, but with more violence.

7:03 am

Haz1558

There seems to be a lot of pent-up anger, certainly.

7:05 am

Haz1558

I'm using understatement font.

7:05 am

72 Temple Owl

oh yes. even bofore all of this. you saw it constantly on the web, because it was not in person. imo we have become so desensitized, that we are embolened to do it to people's faces now.

7:05 am

72 Temple Owl

:)

7:08 am

Haz1558

It's very sad to watch the divisions being intensified, the whole 'what about' attitude is ultimately not helpful to anyone. Less talk, more listening to each other would be preferable to digging further into entrenched positions.

7:10 am

72 Temple Owl

the anger thing is hard to sort out. i do agree. i won't post or comment on prolitical stuff and sometimes what one thinks is notpolitical is taken by others as such and the fight begins...

7:11 am

72 Temple Owl

it's intersting that this is a worldwide phenomenon. i try to rememner back to the sixties to sort out- how soon we forget! a firend who is a gret sutdnt of world history points out that about every 50 years there is a socilaist revolution.

7:12 am

72 Temple Owl

pardon my sloppy typing.

7:13 am

Haz1558

Violence is never a good thing. I do think that countries sometimes come to the point where a rethink is needed, much better to do it by civilised debate than by slugging it out on the streets.

7:13 am

72 Temple Owl

do you see the divisions in your country as well?

7:14 am

dan2bit

this is what Marx was diagnosing in his time. the rich keep taking until the rest of us force them to give some back

7:15 am

72 Temple Owl

there are people who think that that is too slow or outdated. i do remember. but i also remember opting out when the talk got around to molotov cocktails.

7:18 am

72 Temple Owl

haz lovely to see you. i must get out for daily walk, already very hot and humid. and too late to sacre the deer. i like seeing them run the streets in the early AM

7:19 am

Haz1558

TO, Europe leans much more socialist than the States, even our conservatives are to the left of Democrats. I'm heading to the kitchen - good to see you.

7:20 am

72 Temple Owl

yesterday there was a young groudnhog running towards the edge gym in the afternoon. since they have automatic doors, i think it must have been very interesting for the members...

7:20 am

72 Temple Owl

wildlife abounds in the time of stay at home! be safe.

hokie carla

ro4 used to be my favorite card game

9:27 am

Aloyisius

whoa, that brings back memories

9:28 am

hokie carla

nobody here knows how to play

9:29 am

Aloyisius

I have forgotten.. used to play a lot of canasta too..

9:30 am

hokie carla

I do find spades a little easier than ro4 because you use all the cards instead of discarding, so then you know what's still out there.

9:30 am

hokie carla

have never played canasta

9:31 am

Aloyisius

fw, last word ho7.48, resembling a garden tool. Canasta uses two decks, about all I can remember, lol.. must scoot. Happy Babbling!

9:31 am

hokie carla

11:02 am

Douglas

Pippin is in the grid (or perhaps one of his family members)

11:03 am

hurshy

11:04 am

hurshy

ok that was a grammatical mess

11:04 am

hurshy

i have 3 OK words - is the fourth O from that O an OK also, or is it something else?

11:05 am

hurshy

10:01 pm

Minveryork

Students take the classes online in their country.So when I am teaching at 11 in the morning it is 5 or 6 their time.

10:01 pm

Minveryork

When I'm teaching at 2:00 p.m.,it's 9:00 p.m. their time.

10:03 pm

origami

That's dedication :D I think the reason I really liked my AP classes in high school (NOT in English :-) ) was because all of my fellow classmates really wanted to be there. The teachers were wonderful.

10:03 pm

HarryHood

teachers enjoy AP classes for the same reason

10:03 pm

HarryHood

my AP kids are great

10:05 pm

11:31 pm

grannyrose

i got the nine early in doing the grid. sometimes the biggies just jump right out at you. other times i simply cannot see them at all. one time i searched for a simple 6/21 word for nearly 30 minutes. i think that's hat i love about this game, that and finding new words and learning their meanings.

11:33 pm

grannyrose

oh, hello ruru. sorry i missed your grand entrance.

11:42 pm

rururocks

i was down yesterday ruru. but with the tender care i received from other players i have risen to the top, like a bubble in champagne. not one of them judged me for being so morose. instead i was validated and supported in the most loving way possible.
