7:41 am

rururocks

in a few hours :D

7:43 am

welki

i know you'll have a wonderful trip :)

7:43 am

rururocks

yes.. we have a lot planned and booked

7:45 am

welki

if i recall correctly, you're stopping in vancouver for a couple of days?

7:45 am

rururocks

yes.. on the way up and on the way back

7:46 am

welki

the crocs will be a big hit at the restaurants there

7:47 am

rururocks

oh absolutely :D

7:47 am

aebmusica

br7

7:49 am

rururocks

she's such a good sport about shit like that

7:50 am

welki

she has to be, if she pals around with you - a good sense of humor, i'd think, is a prerequisite

7:55 am

welki

bumhesion - when you just can't shake the panhandler from your side

7:55 am

welki

or something else, less delicate.

7:56 am

Scrabbler

Good morning.

8:09 am

welki

hi scrabs

8:12 am

Scrabbler

What are your plans today, welki?

8:14 am

hokie carla

phantom cuisine. I guess that's food for ghosts.

8:14 am

Scrabbler

I see it.

8:14 am

welki

it's been a busy (and noisy) weekend here - i plan on having some quiet time. neighbors were particularly rude for the last couple of days

8:15 am

Scrabbler

welki, are there lots of fireworks for July 1? We have had them for 2 nights so far.

8:16 am

welki

there used to be, not so much anymore

8:16 am

hokie carla

we had a huge storm last night right at dark, so that put a damper on people shooting off fireworks.

8:17 am

Scrabbler

Good. It's bad for wildlife, pets, and kids.

8:17 am

hokie carla

phantom all the -nce words

8:18 am

Scrabbler

The Us and Cs are annoying.

8:18 am

hokie carla

well, the storm doesn't do a lot for the pets either

8:18 am

welki

here, it was so windy, it would have been dangerous (not that that would stop anyone). truth be told, we were probably sleeping by the time any fireworks show happened

8:18 am

hokie carla

they're all annoying. I can't find any words today.

8:18 am

bichon

luckily, Marco is deaf

8:18 am

Scrabbler

I am stuck after 36.

8:19 am

Scrabbler

Lucky dog in that way.

8:20 am

hokie carla

we were at our neighbors during the storm and I forgot to turn on the cameras in our house, so who knows what winston did.

8:20 am

bichon

We bought him a thundershirt. Didn't improve him

8:21 am

hokie carla

we have a thundershirt that we bought for ellie, our dog before winston. I think it helped her. haven't tried it on winston yet. he doesn't freak out, just comes looking for me and sits right next to me.

8:23 am

welki

it didn't work very well on murray, our border collie, although i think it gave him some comfort. poor guy ended up on tranquilizers, thanks to one of my neighbors, who in spite of being asked not to, would set fireworks off right in front of our place. there are things i would like to do to that man, and not nice things - he still lives nearby.

8:23 am

Scrabbler

I will help you, welki.

8:24 am

welki

we would be a force to be reckoned with. i'll sit on him, and you ... well it'd be better if you were a butcher, not a doctor :D

8:25 am

Scrabbler

We would be intrepid.

8:26 am

Scrabbler

cary

8:26 am

welki

sounds like a good name for an aircraft carrier :)

8:26 am

Scrabbler

Not a word.

8:26 am

hokie carla

but a city

8:27 am

Scrabbler

My sister and I named ourselves the Intrepid Backpackers. I designed baseball caps for us. We have hiked through difficult conditions. A tropical storm was the worst.

8:28 am

welki

fyi, there is no alternate spelling for cucina.

8:28 am

welki

<-- ordered a "Shit Show Supervisor" cap for her husband. I'm not as creative as you are, scrabs

8:29 am

Scrabbler

Hahahaha.

8:29 am

BzznBea

i have a pair of socks that make me the ringmaster of the shit show. wear them everytime i go back to KS.

8:30 am

Scrabbler

Haha. Powerful socks.

8:34 am

BzznBea

weird words today

8:35 am

hokie carla

8:37 am

saanichcat

8:37 am

dan2bit

thanks Bea! very proud papa, very glad she's found her tribe - so crucial for surviving middle school

8:38 am

mkg

I am having issues with this grid. I only have 47 words. Ugh.

8:39 am

BzznBea

dan2bit

8:53 am

hokie carla

I tried capone too

8:55 am

dan2bit

coinmen - low level debt-collecting gangsters

8:56 am

hokie carla

8:57 am

hokie carla

8:57 am

featherbee

8:58 am

mael

ohhh a plant. Looking now.

8:58 am

hokie carla

well, mael...I'm glad you're encouraged 🤣

8:58 am

Scrabbler

feather bee, a long lost Babbler! Welcome back!

8:58 am

featherbee

I've been here a few days, lol. snuck in quietly.

8:58 am

dan2bit

hiya featherbee

8:58 am

BzznBea

i have no -men words yet

8:58 am

mael

rows 3 and 4 are looking gnarly though

8:58 am

Scrabbler

Sometimes I lurk.

8:59 am

featherbee

I've started doing some freelance data entry stuff and have been coming here to kill time while waiting for jobs

8:59 am

Scrabbler

How did you learn that?

9:00 am

featherbee

it's shitty work at the moment, there's a 10 day probationary period where you only pick up the crap low paying ones. it's through Amazon Mechanical Turk.

9:00 am

featherbee

it all started when Sadie cost us $780 in vet bills!!!! She's ok, but I'm trying to recoup that $$ over the summer.

9:02 am

dan2bit

I would like to point out that our cat gets the pouncies all the time

9:02 am

hokie carla

is that like the zoomies for dogs?

9:02 am

featherbee

hi dan :)

9:03 am

dan2bit

exactly so

9:03 am

mael

we still call it the zoomies when it's our cats, but they do end up literally climbing the windows

9:03 am

featherbee

our cat Griffin gets zoomies, and somehow sounds like an elephant thundering down the hall

9:03 am

Scrabbler

My rabbits get the zoomies and then do binky flips.

9:03 am

featherbee

binky flips! love that

9:04 am

dan2bit

if anybody can share the stats for the lone I in row 4?

9:04 am

hokie carla

don't have thta or the E next to it

9:04 am

BzznBea

i think its in6

9:04 am

dan2bit

en5/12

9:05 am

saanichcat

in 6

9:05 am

hokie carla

thanks, bea, that's it

9:05 am

hokie carla

will look for that E, thanks, dan

9:05 am

saanichcat

hokie do you have en 5, huge

9:06 am

mael

the other e from that one is em4/6

9:06 am

hokie carla

ah, thanks, saan

9:06 am

hokie carla

and mael

9:06 am

saanichcat

sorry didn't see dan had clued already

9:06 am

dan2bit

thanks all

9:06 am

hokie carla

of course I didn't have the 4's related to the in6 and the en5, so those were both twofers

9:07 am

hokie carla

that's okay, saan, I wasn't seeing it until your big clue

9:08 am

hokie carla

and the em4 makes up most of a 5, so another twofer

9:08 am

dan2bit

I need a clue for the in6, please

9:08 am

featherbee

this top row is not an encouraging row to start out the grid with, just sayin

9:08 am

hokie carla

think of a wifi system that works throughout your house, dan

9:09 am

hokie carla

none of the rows are encouraging, feather

9:09 am

featherbee

oh goodie lol

9:10 am

Scrabbler

in6 and en6 elude me

9:10 am

Scrabbler

No, en5

9:10 am

hokie carla

en5 is shortened adj for huge

9:11 am

Scrabbler

Oh, yeah, I have it. Oops.

9:11 am

Scrabbler

I don't get the wifi clue

9:11 am

hokie carla

in6 is in + a 4lw that is like a holey fabric, maybe a scuba diver has a bag made out of it.

9:12 am

Scrabbler

Aha, got it now, TY.

9:12 am

hokie carla

yw

9:13 am

hokie carla

I would say it's usually spelled with an e, but I reckon this is an alt sp

9:13 am

featherbee

who dropped all the u's and i's everywhere? they're getting in the way...

9:13 am

Scrabbler

Agreed.

9:16 am

featherbee

ohhh just found the mi8

9:16 am

hokie carla

thanks, had just found the 5 and didn't think to look further

9:17 am

hokie carla

and that led me to se6 and 9

9:17 am

featherbee

oh ty!

9:19 am

hokie carla

yw

9:20 am

hokie carla

bronies not in the dictionary

9:23 am

MollyL

Oh dear God, there are adult fans of My Little Pony? And I thought those Hello Kitty people were weird.

9:23 am

hokie carla

adult male fans

9:24 am

hokie carla

puppies are bity

9:25 am

BzznBea

how do you know this stuff, carla?

9:25 am

hokie carla

I've had puppies 😜

9:26 am

hokie carla

but I assume you mean the bronies

9:26 am

hokie carla

how do you not know about the bronies? 🤣 just the internet, I guess.

9:27 am

MollyL

I have been on the internet a long time and never heard of bronies

9:28 am

hokie carla

well, if anyone has any legit B words, I'm happy to listen. can only find 1

9:28 am

hokie carla

oh, found another!

9:29 am

BzznBea

py8.55

9:31 am

hokie carla

hmm, start with fire?

9:31 am

BzznBea

yes

9:32 am

hokie carla

thanks, that finished the 8s/9s

9:34 am

hokie carla

have HOET now after finding another B. 42 left.
8-14-14-6. so many 6s. this is why I hate this grid.

9:36 am

BzznBea

there is a six with the py. did you get that?

9:36 am

hokie carla

no, just got it, thanks

9:43 am

featherbee

trying to get a single B and the right side I for NBT

9:43 am

hokie carla

think of our UK friends for the B

9:43 am

featherbee

ty

9:44 am

hokie carla

and im5 like the a word acid

9:44 am

hokie carla

all the i's are similar

9:45 am

featherbee

hmm. i only have one a word, so will look around a little more.

9:45 am

hokie carla

the A I'm talking about is not in grid

9:45 am

featherbee

oh lol ok

9:46 am

hokie carla

am5 acid are molecules that combine to form protein. no idea what im5 actually is but I'll look.

9:46 am

featherbee

nbt, ty!!!

9:46 am

mael

thanks for the py8 and 9

9:47 am

hokie carla

well, I love it when a def includes the word and therefore tells you nothing

9:47 am

featherbee

that's super helpful

9:49 am

BzznBea

these c's are difficult

9:49 am

mael

the worst, Bea

9:50 am

hokie carla

still have 11 c's left

9:50 am

hokie carla

that's 31% of my remaining words

9:51 am

mael

I keep seeing caprine but no

9:53 am

hokie carla

I have never seen caprine, so I do not keep seeing it. is that italian?

9:53 am

hokie carla

I just keep seeing cuisine

9:53 am

mael

I guess it comes from latin, yeah, it just means relating to goats

9:53 am

mael

like ovine relates to sheep

9:53 am

hokie carla

oh, like bovine

9:53 am

gremlinn

caprine: goatlike, like feline or canine

9:53 am

mael

yep

9:54 am

gremlinn

I like corvine (crowlike)

9:54 am

mael

tried cuisine too, alas

9:55 am

gremlinn

phantom cuneiform?

9:56 am

mael

how about leporine? relating to hares

9:56 am

mael

and vulpine for foxes and rusine for deer

9:56 am

mael

languages are fun :)

9:56 am

gremlinn

hircine also means goatlike apparently

9:57 am

mael

that one I didn't know

9:57 am

gremlinn

murine: like rodents

9:57 am

mael

aquiline for eagles

9:57 am

gremlinn

mice specifically

9:58 am

mael

I'm scouring my brain here, cervine is also deer

9:58 am

gremlinn

ovaltine: like chocolate

9:58 am

mael

obviously serpentine, leonine, lupine

9:58 am

mael

lol gremlinn

10:00 am

gremlinn

despite "ornithes" meaning birds, ornithine is just a chemical :)

10:00 am

BzznBea

ursine

10:00 am

hokie carla

as are the py words

10:01 am

mael

helpful ending today!

10:01 am

mael

and speaking of birds, thanks for cuing the or5

10:02 am

hokie carla

helpful for actual words in the grid? or just you all showing off your word nerdery?

10:02 am

mael

there are a bunch of chemicals that end in it in the grid today :)

10:03 am

mael

py8/9, im5/6, the related he5, etc

10:03 am

hokie carla

well, it's already 81F out, guess I better walk Winston

10:04 am

mael

have a great walk, send some sunshine our way

10:05 am

gremlinn

found a bi7, just C5 and O5 left

10:22 am

mael

go, gremlinn, go! I still have 29 left and have no clue

10:29 am

gremlinn

fw, no list

10:29 am

mael

way to go! that's really impressive

10:29 am

gremlinn

second or5/14 was a bit weird

10:30 am

mael

that must be my missing O then

10:30 am

gremlinn

it's a type of antelope

10:31 am

mael

thanks, not sure that will help haha.

10:31 am

mael

I think the only weird antelope I remember is an eland

10:31 am

gremlinn

ends in the top-right

10:33 am

mael

I'll unleash the monkeys, there's only so many letter combos there

10:35 am

gremlinn

that's what I resorted to but with just o5 in general, it was taxing

10:38 am

mael

16 left and I think I quit! not a particularly fun grid. Have a great day everyone :)

10:39 am

gremlinn

bye!

11:23 am

MollyL

Ugh

11:47 am

hokie carla

wow, if mael quits with 16 why bother

11:58 am

gremlinn

any hints needed?

11:59 am

hokie carla

guess my missing H? hint for that bi7?

11:59 am

gremlinn

bi7, both sides of the political aisle

11:59 am

gremlinn

not the more commonly used word for that though

12:00 pm

gremlinn

missing the he6/27?

12:02 pm

hokie carla

that is odd, thanks. and good guess, will look for the H

12:04 pm

hokie carla

okay, maybe gonna need a hint for that

12:04 pm

gremlinn

it's a type of plant, apparently

12:04 pm

gremlinn

but it sounds like it might mean "chewed on by an egg-laying bird"

12:04 pm

hokie carla

must be the plant our master gardener found earlier

12:05 pm

hokie carla

got it, thx

12:05 pm

hokie carla

5th col gray

12:06 pm

gremlinn

heh, it's actually where the name comes from, in fact

12:07 pm

gremlinn

there's another plant with the last three letters changed to "bane"

12:07 pm

hokie carla

btw, I've heard of hen party as a gathering of women but have learned on reddit that it is what they call a bachelorette party. and they call a bachelor party a stag party.

12:08 pm

gremlinn

I've only heard the latter.

12:08 pm

hokie carla

whoops, left out it was on Ask UK reddit

12:08 pm

hokie carla

that's the "they"

MollyL

12:53 pm

mkg

I did for college years for sure. Yup. Had them in several colors. Molly you must be my age.

12:54 pm

MollyL

I'm stunned

12:55 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I always wore fishnets, both when I was a 12 year old and again as an adult. They're the best.

1:05 pm

penquis

1:08 pm

hokie carla

1:08 pm

hokie carla

your memory is much better than mine, gremlinn

it's mostly from playing Boggle games on other sites where you can get board after board within minutes and have lots of new words to try to remember

11:52 pm

gremlinn

and 25 years of playing...

11:53 pm

cybernan

it's been 15 for me and I'm getting worse at finding all the words
