Hi Peri, are you Simple Simon's pieman today?
: D

7:43 am

hokie carla

back for my last 14. will I see any new ones?

7:57 am

MollyL

Well, depending on who you are this grid is either "no fun" or "easy".

7:59 am

hokie carla

I found it fairly easy. looked up the big one and still have 10 left.

8:00 am

MollyL

Yeah, I love herons but had no idea what the 8 was until I read the definition.

8:02 am

hokie carla

yes, but did you see how easily everyone else got it when it was called?

8:02 am

MollyL

Well, you have to remember that those flip people are from a different dimension.

8:07 am

hokie carla

true

8:08 am

hokie carla

40% of my remaining words are 4s. should be easy.

8:12 am

welki

'morning, babblers

8:13 am

8:15 am

BzznBea

Good morning.

8:15 am

8:16 am

hi carla, bea

8:17 am

mael

good morning all

8:18 am

8:18 am

BzznBea

Hey, mael

8:22 am

hokie carla

hey mael

8:24 am

hokie carla

I have 4-5-1 - E D C EE FFF TT. think I will walk Winston. today is his 5th birthday.

8:25 am

BzznBea

Happy Birthday, Winston!

8:27 am

hokie carla

ooh, found 2 of the f's on my way out. Winston says thanks, bea.

8:27 am

MollyL

I knew someone would say happy birthday to the dog. And I knew the dog would talk back.

8:27 am

BzznBea

=)

8:28 am

hokie carla

😁

8:28 am

MollyL

Especially since this dog has a Facebook page.

8:28 am

hokie carla

no, he has an instagram page

8:29 am

hokie carla

has not been updated in a while. will have to put a pic on today.

8:29 am

MollyL

Speaking of which, I tried to watch The Social Network last night. Couldn't make it halfway.

8:29 am

MollyL

Facebook, Instagram, it's all the same to me. Animals on social media kind of freak me out.

8:30 am

hokie carla

is that the movie with Jesse Eisenberg(?) playing zuckerburg? or is that the documentary about how social media has brainwashed us?

8:32 am

hokie carla

molly, my youngest son says the same about animal accounts. but nothing can brighten my day more than looking at golden retriever instagrams. there's a really good one called the life of sterling newton, and he just got a puppy brother named colin and I could just watch them all day long.

8:32 am

MollyL

The movie. I don't see how it won best picture.

8:32 am

hokie carla

I thought it was pretty good but haven't seen it in a while. did not rem. it winning best picture.

8:34 am

MollyL

I can see people posting pictures of their animals on their accounts, but the animal having it's own account (and I assume writing captions) is a little out there for me. But I am not an animal person, so what do I know?

8:35 am

9:40 am

hokie carla

ex 4/10 is also from the top

9:52 am

BzznBea

There are two ec4, Carla

9:53 am

hokie carla

wow, missed the easy set on the middle E

9:54 am

MollyL

I have the word, but Italian director means nothing to me

9:54 am

MollyL

Oh, maybe because it's DICTATOR. (Gets glasses)

9:54 am

hokie carla

dictator, not director, but I'm not sure which one. my last e is that ex4. haven't monkeyed it yet.

9:55 am

Back for last 7...

5:40 pm

penquis

hi bea....5 here...

5:40 pm

MollyL

It's old news that Enable doesn't recognize the singular of te6. It gets talked about every time there is an extension of the 4

5:41 pm

BzznBea

I'm down to 4...

5:41 pm

MollyL

I thought smarty pants Bea and Pen would have been finished hours ago.

BzznBea

It is her burial plot...LMAO!

5:49 pm

penquis

5:50 pm

BzznBea

Bless her heart. It is just for ashes.

5:57 pm

BzznBea

UNCLE! Clue for te6.27, please?

5:58 pm

penquis

it's a pt without a singular...

6:00 pm
