no7 is stupid
7:26 am
markbowers7
oh i really wanted protozoa to work
7:32 am
dauber
no7 is a legit mathematical term though...as a computer nerd it looks normal to me. :)
7:34 am
MollyL
There are a lot of legit words I think are stupid. Like pareidolia.
7:35 am
dauber
Oh, that word isn't legit at all. :)
7:35 am
dauber
("toea" is my favorite stupid word that I don't think can be legit. Because it shoes up in EVERY GRID.)
7:35 am
dauber
(except this one)
7:36 am
sukee
i keep seeing idiot...
7:36 am
dauber
Every time I see a sign abbreviating "Illinois Department of Transportation."
7:42 am
periwinkle
hi all. I do not have no7
7:44 am
dauber
Think of what 1, 4, 68.6, and -42 are.
7:46 am
sukee
That clue might as well be written in Russian for me :)
7:47 am
periwinkle
I am not getting it either
7:47 am
dauber
Any number that is either positive or negative is considered....
7:47 am

I love toea too!
7:49 am

Holy crap, there's an 11....
7:49 am
dauber
ooh...and I got it. :)
7:51 am
sukee
Finally found it, after much searching.
7:51 am
sukee
If it is the right one
7:52 am
sukee
It's not as difficult as I was making it
7:56 am
MollyL
The math nerds got it right away
7:56 am
sukee
Well, I didn't do math past grade 11 :)
7:56 am
MollyL
I slept through most of Geometry
7:57 am
sukee
I did okay in math if I applied myself :) But I was more interested in the arts
7:57 am
MollyL
My SAT scores said it all. High in English, so-so in Math
7:57 am
dauber
I was required to get C or better in two levels of calculus to get a computer science degree. I changed my major to journalism. :)
7:58 am
dauber
Eh, it's okay. I'm a software engineer now despite sucking at calculus. :)
7:58 am
sukee
Good choice dauber
7:58 am
MollyL
Oh my God, calculus almost destroyed my brain
7:59 am
dauber
When I got to calc II, I couldn't even do a simple derivative, which i literally the most basic and easy calc thing ever. I decided there was no way I would ever pass.
7:59 am
sukee
I found the perfect way to use my interests, I became a library assistant.
8:00 am
dauber
(And you know how much calculus I've had to use in my years working in computer science? NONE. EVER.)
8:00 am
dauber
I worked as a library page for seven years as my first job. I loved working there. I learned so much.
8:00 am
sukee
Great atmosphere. I was in a university library for about 12 years
8:01 am
sukee
Worked with two nuns, who were so intelligent and educated. (It was a Catholic university library even though I wasn't Catholic)
8:02 am
dauber
Heh. When my department was looking for a librarian, one of my bosses looked at me and said, "Why couldn't you have an MLS?" I said, "Because the pay sucks."
8:02 am
sukee
True, you don't go into library work for the money. But, working in a university gave me a nice pension :)
8:03 am
dauber
Seriously, if the pay weren't so low, I seriously would have considered getting an MLS. But I only have a bachelor's -- and I make more than the library director where I used to work! Yep, more than the highest-paid library employee!
8:03 am
sukee
I thought of an MLS but decided to stay where I was. I eventually became a full time cataloguer.
8:04 am
sukee
I only had a community college diploma in library techniques. Anyway, that job basically doesn't exist anymore.
8:06 am
sukee
This grid is a slog, I'm not at halfway yet.
8:09 am
sukee
ok, finally halfway

For those who need it, tr9 is like an Italian style eating place, but change the last vowel
9:12 am
hokie carla

9:12 am

9:39 am
mkg

9:39 am
hokie carla
that is not a clue, but molly did one for the 9 that's prob still on the screen
9:42 am
hokie carla
the bucket refers to judi used to say she was leaving words in the bucket instead of finishing
9:45 am
