If you have a number of alternative substitutes for jet, one of them is bound to be je8

1:22 am

ursh

one wonders if it relates to the aeroplane or the harbour

1:22 am

Gillie

I believe it relates to the stone

sammysmom

Hi. Its Walter. I have a question for the players in Canada. Are the wild fire up there really bad???

8:20 am

welki

hi walter - there are still over 90 active wildfires in alberta, 6 out of control

8:21 am

dizgrannie

here

8:21 am

hokie carla

I have an fr7, but not fe. will look, thanks.

8:22 am

welki

(just about the same amount in british columbia)

8:22 am

dizgrannie

ooops , here in Australia the news says its bad

8:22 am

sammysmom

Ok Thank you Welki.

8:23 am

welki

yes, diz, it's bad - so much lost

8:23 am

hokie carla

we are having smoke down in SC

8:23 am

sammysmom

Im in Cleveland Ohio. For the last 4 days we have been getting alot of smoke smell and haze.

8:23 am

welki

where we are, we get the smoke. i suppose the nearest one to me is about 2-3 hours away

8:24 am

featherbee

we have the smoke here in NY. yesterday it was hazy out from it.

8:24 am

welki

not a bad idea to wear a mask if you're going out

8:24 am

rururocks

weedie!!

8:25 am

featherbee

lol hi

8:25 am

featherbee

i was here yesterday too, finished the grid yesterday

8:25 am

dizgrannie

the press put on a welcome home party for our firefighters who helped you guys out, apparently more going over to help.

8:25 am

sammysmom

I just wanted to know from someone that lives up there. I dont watch nor trust the news. Funny thing I and everyone I talk to smell like a rubber or plastic burning. It does not smell like a forest fire to me.....

8:26 am

welki

they are SO appreciated, diz

8:26 am

hokie carla

diz, can I have a nudge on the fe7?

8:26 am

sammysmom

leet

8:26 am

featherbee

sammy, I think this is why: "The smoke from the wildfires is composed of volatile organic compounds that interact with the sun's UV rays. The interaction creates two other compounds, benzene and formaldehyde, which can smell like plastic."

8:26 am

welki

you're probably smelling the forest fires plus everything they've burned in their path, walter

8:27 am

welki

or what she said :)

8:27 am

dizgrannie

welki, all for one and one for all

8:27 am

sammysmom

Thank you featherbee and welki.....

8:27 am

hokie carla

nm, found the fe7

8:27 am

featherbee

I'd heard about why it smells like plastic at some point yesterday, so it was a quick search to find it lol

8:28 am

sammysmom

I pray they can get t under controll. I feel bad for the animals and everything that is getting scorched.

8:28 am

welki

diz - i like that sentiment, wish there was more of it

8:29 am

sammysmom

9:17 am

Ruru bought Margaritaville crocks for me for my birthday. They have "charms" of ice cubes, lime wedges, a shot glass, bottle opener, a salt shaker. They are the most hideous shoes I have ever seen.

9:18 am

origami

*crocs, rather

9:18 am

9:25 am

penquis

where he can relax and listen to the ABBA music you sent him....

9:25 am

rururocks

9:26 am

welki

9:26 am

cybernan

9:26 am

welki

reminds me of a joke - swan/saskatchewan

9:27 am

origami

Thanks, nan

9:27 am

rururocks

this was the best gift for ori ever.. it's legendary now

9:28 am

MollyL

You spent 60$ on those hideous things?

9:29 am

origami

They are even uglier in person. Photos just don't do them justice.

9:30 am

welki

wear them proudly, ori - into the nicest restaurant you visit, or all of them

9:30 am

MollyL

A guy in my office wears camouflage crocs. They are pretty awful. And I can't tell you how terrible I think crocs look on men.

9:31 am

MollyL

I saw a guy once in shorts, sling-back crocks and sporting a man bun. It was a horrible experience.

9:34 am

rururocks

they were worth every penny Molly :D

9:35 am

MollyL

I can think of...oh...at least a hundred better things you could have spent 60$ on.

9:36 am

origami

Time to get something done. See you later.

9:36 am

MollyL

Enjoy your birthday Origami

9:36 am

rururocks

not for the laughs we got out of it. :D

9:36 am

penquis

bye ori....

9:37 am

rururocks

and they were more than $60

9:37 am

MollyL

Oh, do they have some kind of deluxe pair?

9:39 am

rururocks

II don't know.. I'm still dying of laughter her especially after she texted me a pic of them.. they're over the top for sure

9:41 am

MollyL

Now you need to get her the croc headlights for nighttime wear

9:42 am

rururocks

next birthday then

10:00 am

saanichcat

ahaha sorry about t his Sherrell; I have a flashing heaadlamp, the flasher comes offand would stick in one of the crocs; I be SURE to bring it hahaha

10:02 am

cybernan

good morning, saanich

10:03 am

saanichcat

hi nan! How are you? How's the weather there? Have you got smoke?

10:05 am

cybernan

no smoke, but hot

10:07 am

saanichcat

thanks for the warning. Still reasonable here until the weekend then it goes up and not a drop of rain in sight. Really looking forward to seeing you again!

10:11 am

MollyL

How is there no smoke in Canada but there is smoke down here?

10:12 am

saanichcat

winds and earth rotation

10:12 am

cybernan

temps for the 4th-9th range from 86-98

10:13 am

saanichcat

and we have LOTS of smoke here too -- unfortunately you got the brunt, so did parts of Europe

10:13 am

cybernan

we don't have any forest fires near us at the moment, Molly

10:16 am

saanichcat

I think the East Coast is getting the Ont & Quebec fire smoke; I got some from the fire that shut off the road to Tofino

10:17 am

gemini_J13

we got the Canada smoke in western Kansas

10:19 am

cybernan

that's not too surprising, Saanich -- is it under control now?

10:20 am

cybernan

we get Vanc. news, but never anything from the island unless it is a disaster of some sort

10:20 am

cybernan

(or if the ferries are out of commission)

10:20 am

HarryHood

just found a 9!

10:20 am

HarryHood

33 to go.

10:21 am

saanichcat

oh my, it's a huge swathe of smoke. Even in Kansas, wow. There is one fire in northern BC that is bigger than one of our provinces.

10:22 am

MollyL

I didn't have to struggle for the 9's today.

10:22 am

sajarn

so sad. wow.

10:23 am

HarryHood

I have no 8s and 1/2 9

10:24 am

saanichcat

The Tofino road was closed for well over a week; it had a back route from those stories you read "the worst drive in the world". Has been open periodically. We have been extremely fortunate where I am, a few hazes.

10:26 am

saanichcat

and off to finish off this puzzle, talk to you later nan

10:26 am

HarryHood

31. bbl perhaps.

10:33 am

MollyL

*Wonders how many hours Carla has been standing in line at Costco

10:33 am

cybernan

thought that ty 4/6 was like the species -- same word for both singular and plural

10:35 am

BzznBea

why is carla waiting in line at costco?

10:36 am

cybernan

I need a
hint for my last word please: fe 7/40?

10:37 am

MollyL

There was a discussion earlier about what a bad day it is to go to Costco due to it being a payday, the end of the month and the beginning of a holiday weekend.

10:38 am

MollyL

It doesn't matter when you go to our Costco, it is always a crowded mess. That is why I let my membership expire.

10:38 am

BzznBea

ahh, yes, not a good shopping day.

10:39 am

BzznBea

i've never been in a costco.

10:40 am

cybernan

on purpose or lack of opportunity?

10:42 am

Book Doctor Gwen

hi all, diving in

10:42 am

BzznBea

i didn't like sam's club or bj's so i figured there was no reason to go to costco.

10:42 am

Book Doctor Gwen

costco and sam's club are polar opposites

10:43 am

cybernan

Fini! Hi and bye Gwen -- hagd everyone

10:54 am

MollyL

Our Costco and Sam's Club are just the same.

11:12 am

Book Doctor Gwen

Costco is one of the best corporate citizens on the planet. San's Club (Walmart) is one of the worst

11:25 am

Book Doctor Gwen

i can send you a short list of some of the ways waldemort is exceptionally evil

11:28 am

Book Doctor Gwen

halfway done, BBL

11:43 am

12:18 pm

dcseain

My local Costco is on a road called Price Cascades Plaza :)

12:19 pm

dcseain

most of the Costcos here are former Price Clubs.

12:25 pm

MollyL

Funny how I forgot all about Price Club and I still refer to CVS as People's.

12:36 pm

JenMO16

1:11 pm

hokie carla

FTR, it's a 45 min drive one way to Costco

1:14 pm

hokie carla

was crazy in the food section but the checkout lines weren't bad. parking lot was bad. gas line wasn't bad. I did think it was a bad sign when I got there and there was a cop directing traffic. when I left they had doubled - two cops directing.

1:16 pm

hokie carla

I used to have BJs membership, Costco is better.

1:17 pm

BzznBea

hokie carla

can't believe I missed the needle case(s). I mean, I can believe it.

1:20 pm

hokie carla

hmm, never really made ribs. mr. homie has. I prefer pulled pork, ribs are too much work and mess for eating.

1:20 pm

mael

yes they are all UNs

1:21 pm

hokie carla

gracias

1:21 pm

hokie carla

I still think unsee is a word

1:21 pm

BzznBea

the country ribs are thicker and meatier.

1:21 pm

mael

1:22 pm

hokie carla

1:22 pm

hokie carla

it was un6 by me

1:23 pm

mael

same, it was my last U by a mile

1:24 pm

hokie carla

crazy how many times I tried unsend

1:24 pm

mael

plus, the re5 is a word so I feel that we're even more justified

1:24 pm

hokie carla

well, found my last 2 v's. now top 2 rows gray.

1:25 pm

hokie carla

yeah, it's actually bs that the re5 is a word

1:26 pm

mael

1:28 pm

hokie carla

how's it going with you word nerds? I still have 30 left.

1:28 pm

mael

22 left for me

1:28 pm

BzznBea

1:28 pm

BzznBea

slogging through the r's

1:29 pm

hokie carla

I will look at those now. need 1 + 5

1:31 pm

mael

the Js are the hardest for me today

1:31 pm

hokie carla

yeah, I still need 5 j's

1:31 pm

mael

and I say that ji5/30 is also not a word...

1:32 pm

hokie carla

I guess you're too young for disco era

1:32 pm

hokie carla

and thanks, did not have

1:32 pm

mael

I mean, ji5 and 6 are fine, it's the adjective that I question

1:32 pm

mkg

ANY Y WORD CLUES? TY

1:32 pm

mael

:)

1:32 pm

hokie carla

thought maybe jeesh would work

1:32 pm

mael

sorry, I meant 4 and 5 and 5

1:33 pm

mael

I finished the Rs if anyone needs a hint

1:34 pm

hokie carla

I would love it if you guess my missing R on the left

1:35 pm

mael

make late or place in a different spot?

1:35 pm

mkg

Any clues for the 8s and 9s welcome.

1:35 pm

mael

1:35 pm

mael

I have an sl9, most wintery mix

1:35 pm

hokie carla

of course it was that babblet

1:36 pm

mael

1:36 pm

mael

1:36 pm

hokie carla

1:37 pm

hokie carla

1:37 pm

hokie carla

MollyL

1:40 pm

hokie carla

1:40 pm

hokie carla

I don't have fe6

1:40 pm

mael

1:40 pm

mael

I was trying to make something with that ending
