72 Temple Owl

i need a few more, but not ready for clues.

8:47 am

72 Temple Owl

8:47 am

welki

8:47 am

72 Temple Owl

MollyL

Carla, I know it will be hard for you to believe, but a lot of people don't like rap music.

10:42 am

hokie carla

no, I believe that. was having a hard time believing you knew eminem. or did you google the lyrics?

10:43 am

MollyL

I did a Google search. I don't follow rap music.

10:55 am

hokie carla

11:08 am

moolingwa

a lot of esoteric words in this grid

11:08 am

hokie carla

I guess so

11:09 am

penquis

there would have to be since i am a bit stalled at 42....

11:09 am

moolingwa

I'd say 16 or 17 out of my first 25 words are not common english words

11:10 am

hokie carla

11:10 am

11:16 am

dan2bit

afternoon all! bottom row done

11:16 am

hokie carla

sweet, dan. howdy

11:16 am

moolingwa

always good to have your bottom row done...

11:17 am

hokie carla

is this i4 a word I've ever seen before?

11:17 am

moolingwa

perhaps, more likely you've heard of the 6 letter adjective used to describe the beat of a poem

11:17 am

hokie carla

aha, thanks

11:18 am

hokie carla

was only looking the other direction

11:18 am

moolingwa

yw, took me a while to realise too

11:18 am

hokie carla

helped me with the last T to look down

11:19 am

moolingwa

yes...easy to miss those, and the curly ones

11:21 am

hokie carla

ok, CCC SS A O

11:21 am

moolingwa

A

11:22 am

hokie carla

found 2 c's!

11:22 am

moolingwa

crazy cool!

11:23 am

hokie carla

well, my last c was a 4 I entered earlier. must've been when my internet was wonky.

11:23 am

hokie carla

now SS A O, all 5's

11:23 am

moolingwa

one should be cautious of wonky internets

11:24 am

hokie carla

true

11:25 am

hokie carla

found the o!

11:25 am

moolingwa

oh my!

11:28 am

hokie carla

no SN are there?

11:30 am

moolingwa

nope

11:31 am

MollyL

Yay for Vermont. First state to reach 80% vaccinated. My state is over 50%.

11:32 am

hokie carla

well done, Vermont. no idea on NC but I'm guessing under 50%

11:32 am

hokie carla

found an S! almost caught up to moo.

11:34 am

MollyL

If you do a Google search on percent vaccinated by state, it breaks it out for you. Northern states seem ahead of the southern ones. I don't know if that is an availability thing or a choice thing.

11:34 am

hokie carla

I think choice thing. my oldest bro lives in TN and they are really low but were one of the first ones with it available.

11:37 am

penquis

i think VT is actually only 61.9% fully vaccinated... the higher figure may be the percentage of at least partially vaccinated....Maine is second in terms of fully vaccinated (58.04%)....my county is 70% fully vaccinated...

11:38 am

hokie carla

well, NC actually looks lower than TN on the mayo clinic map

11:39 am

hokie carla

yeah, NYT article that popped up in my search for % says VT is partial over 80%

11:41 am

MollyL

Sadly, percent vaccinated reflects whether a state is Red or Blue, with the Red states behind the blue. This should not be a political decision.

11:42 am

hokie carla

agreed

11:43 am

hokie carla

well, I do believe I have tried everything possible for my last S5.

11:44 am

hokie carla

and my last A5

11:45 am

penquis

do you have the am 5?...just guessing....

11:46 am

hokie carla

it's the big A

11:47 am

penquis

as 5?.....just guessing....

11:48 am

hokie carla

do not have one, will look, thx

11:48 am

penquis

yw....

11:48 am

hokie carla

got it!

11:51 am

hokie carla

monkeyed the S, that's fireworks!

11:51 am

hokie carla

thanks to all helpers on the weird ones!

12:01 pm

MollyL

Cursin, the crime against God for using swear words

12:01 pm

penquis

heh heh...

12:01 pm

penquis

desperation setting in...

12:02 pm

MollyL

I committed a cursin when I told my brother to eff off

12:06 pm

penquis

shame on you....though he probably deserved it... ;o)

12:12 pm

penquis

i am stuck at 9....need a break...bbl to finish....

joym999

when was the earlier clue? I didn't see it.

1:17 pm

MollyL

1:36 pm

Betsy Ross

excellent clue Molly...thx

1:43 pm

oops

1:47 pm

MollyL

After our chicken bhuna dinner, we will have bhon-bhons for dessert
: D

1:49 pm

joym999

bwuh hahaha

2:03 pm

mrloser

anyone else have their cursor just jump off screen (only on this site) ???? without me touching it

2:19 pm

hurshy

ugh

2:19 pm

hurshy

i had a very bad day

2:23 pm

joym999

whazzup hurshy?

2:24 pm

hurshy

i got new shoes, only, they were an old model that had been sitting around for a long time, i think. as soon as i wore them today, the soles started disintegrating on me. i was leaving a mess of bits of black rubber everywhere i went.

2:25 pm

joym999

yuckers...so now you have to take them back.

2:25 pm

hurshy

i got a refund for the shoes, yeah. but the embarrassment... not much that can be done about that.

2:25 pm

hurshy

i only hope the janitors have an easy way to clean it up

2:26 pm

hurshy

i swept up what i could but lots of smaller bits were sticking to the linoleum

2:26 pm

joym999

ooh that is really ick, but janitors have all seen worse, I'm sure.

2:27 pm

hurshy

yeah but i hate to make work for them

2:29 pm

joym999

I think if you apologize nicely and bring them some chocolate or something they will forgive you. People often ignore janitors, and especially the impact their messes have on them.

2:29 pm

hurshy

yeah. only they aren't usually there when i'm there, they come later

2:37 pm

MollyL

I always have a pair of walking shoes in my car. They may not match my outfit, but they come in handy for situations like that.

2:38 pm

MollyL

As for the janitors, apologize and bring beer, not chocolate.
: D

2:38 pm

hurshy

yeah i guess i will need to do that, in future.

2:38 pm

hurshy

i just was not expecting shoe disintegration

2:38 pm

MollyL

When I was in college, I used to keep a "go bag" in the car in case I went to a party and decided not to drive later.

2:39 pm

MollyL

My life is no longer that exciting.

2:52 pm

joym999
