7:36 am

hokie carla

7:54 am

MollyL

Probably.

7:54 am

aslindy

don't know if that's bad or not. I've never heard of clamworm.

7:55 am

MollyL

I hadn't either until I started playing this game. But then I had never heard of the Hawaiian goose or an inia either.

8:06 am

hokie carla

8:06 am

hokie carla

8:07 am

aslindy

8:08 am

BzznBea

I've been seeing that. May have to watch just to see what the buzz is all about.

8:08 am

11:49 am

HarryHood

11:49 am

hokie carla

I know there is an AS8 and that leaves an S6 and A6

11:49 am

hurshy

di7 is the lower D

11:49 am

HarryHood

ty - and I am missing de5. will hunt

11:50 am

HarryHood

ok got de5.

11:50 am

HarryHood

should automatically do those last 4 letters with every consonant

11:50 am

hurshy

as8 is pt of as6 so that makes sense hokie

11:51 am

hokie carla

yes, I guessed earlier I was missing a 6/8 combo there and then I checked the flip and nan said she didn't know it could be a verb. but I'm still looking!

11:51 am

HarryHood

got di7! now gotta search for these as6/8 you're talking about

11:53 am

hokie carla

LMK when you find them

11:54 am

hurshy

they are not words i've ever used in a sentence

11:54 am

HarryHood

11:55 am

hokie carla

I've tried everything to make a 6 that can then be made a pt 8

11:55 am

HarryHood

as6/21

11:55 am

hokie carla

yeah, have tried quite a few of those

11:56 am

HarryHood

12:03 pm

HarryHood

I am missing one S - might be that

12:04 pm

hokie carla

bichon, like what's cut in a field of hay

12:05 pm

hokie carla

there's only 1 vowel if that helps

12:08 pm

hokie carla

12:09 pm

bichon

ty carla

12:26 pm

MollyL

Okay, all I can say is if Hooters waitresses are complaining about the new uniform shorts being too short, they must be pretty damn skimpy.

12:31 pm

cybernan

good morning everyone :)

12:34 pm

cybernan

*good afternoon to the EDT time zone :)

12:36 pm

cybernan

di 7 please?

cybernan

nm - found it

12:41 pm

hokie carla

hey nan

12:42 pm

hokie carla

did they change the shorts, molly, or it's just the new generation of waitresses?

12:43 pm

hokie carla

oh, just saw you said "new" shorts

12:47 pm

hokie carla

nan, you forgot to good evening the brits 😜

12:51 pm

cybernan

12:51 pm

hokie carla

stuck at 1

12:52 pm

hokie carla

S6

12:53 pm

cybernan

4th col? probably my missing s as well

12:53 pm

hokie carla

yes

12:54 pm

MollyL

I guess my point is that if you are wearing it that short, low cut and skin tight to begin with, what's to complain about?

12:56 pm

hokie carla

is there a picture? I mean, is it like a swimsuit bottom now? and I'm sure they all wear bikinis, so yeah, you'd think someone working there would know they were going to be skimpy?

12:59 pm

cybernan

a structure that protects you from the elements in Boston -- maybe you wait for the bus there ?

1:00 pm

hokie carla

thanks, nan.

1:01 pm

cybernan

*!*~*!*

1:01 pm

hokie carla

would never have stumbled onto that

1:01 pm

cybernan

me neither - went to the list

1:02 pm

cybernan

hagd everyone :)

1:13 pm

MollyL

Yeah, it is like a bathing suit bottom. Or dance trunks if you know what those are. I guess I'm confused about drawing a line when the current uniforms pretty much show it all already.

1:16 pm

MollyL

Darn it, I wanted to do a Rolling Stones clue for Nan
