moolingwa

AOET?

12:50 pm

a 7/8 set I assume

12:50 pm

BzznBea

12:50 pm

hokie carla

no

12:52 pm

MollyL

Don't let those p's trigger you, Ru

BzznBea

carla pe + some times vowel + three of woody plant plus cons.

1:03 pm

BzznBea

tough to clue

1:05 pm

rururocks

Combine manning with a bird

1:06 pm

MollyL

It is an obsolete word meaning part of a horse's breatplate

1:07 pm

MollyL

Combine Manning with the Chicago transit

1:07 pm

BzznBea

phantom repulse

1:08 pm

MollyL

And stick a consonant in the middle

1:09 pm

MollyL

Repulse is a good word

1:17 pm

hokie carla

went outside because I saw mr. homie running and a bee chasing him

1:20 pm

BzznBea

probably a wasp. did he get stung

1:25 pm

hokie carla

he stepped on a nest and got stung like 3 times, then went back to try to kill them and got stung again. and he had already gotten stung on his bike ride this morning

1:25 pm

hokie carla

he said yellow jacket

1:26 pm

BzznBea

yes, they are assholes.

1:26 pm

72 Temple Owl

oh bummer, keep an eye on him

1:27 pm

hokie carla

yep

1:27 pm

72 Temple Owl

aren't they bothering him?

1:27 pm

hokie carla

we don't seem to have any benedryl. not sure if zyrtec or the other allergy med we have will do anything. they both say hay fever and respiratory allergies.

1:28 pm

hokie carla

they are puffy but he says they aren't

1:28 pm

72 Temple Owl

my doctor says a claritin and a benedryl. absent hives or breathing difficulty, that is.

1:29 pm

72 Temple Owl

I keep those on hand.

1:29 pm

72 Temple Owl

and carry them to festivals/

1:30 pm

72 Temple Owl

i also use that for miscellaneous bites. i tend to react strongly to all.

1:30 pm

hokie carla

the other one is a generic. I don't think it's claritin but I will google.

1:30 pm

72 Temple Owl

yes, i use generic. loratidine i think

1:32 pm

72 Temple Owl

that pe6/7 is probably alternate of the sea bird.

1:32 pm

hokie carla

yeah, I think that's claritin

1:33 pm

hokie carla

we have levocitirizine, which is apparently the generic for xyzal. and whatever the generic for xyrtec is.I talked him into taking the xyzal one.

1:34 pm

72 Temple Owl

i don't know anyone else who used zyzal. i was thinking of trying it. but i have the kind of allergies that come at the drop of a hat. like on the train riding home yesterday

1:35 pm

hokie carla

I tried the brand name when it first came out but it didn't do a lot for me

1:36 pm

72 Temple Owl

didb;t know there was a generic. thanks, i will try it if fall season gets bad

1:36 pm

hokie carla

I'm having runny nose right now. I have non-allergic rhinitis so it seems like I have allergies year-round, and the pills don't do a lot. but the sprays help some, like flonase.

1:36 pm

hokie carla

I usually stick to generic OTC because they are usually clearly marked gluten free, whereas the brand names are all secretive.

1:37 pm

72 Temple Owl

flonase stopped for me. but i use it to keep sinuses open with the others. and if i get a cold/virus same reason.

1:38 pm

hokie carla

and I combined all the clues below and got the pe7/8, thanks.

1:38 pm

72 Temple Owl

dr. says it keeps swelling and blockage to a minimum.

1:38 pm

hokie carla

do people here actually know that word?

1:39 pm

72 Temple Owl

which?

1:39 pm

hokie carla

pe7/8

1:39 pm

72 Temple Owl

doubt it. but i know the 6/7

1:41 pm

MollyL

I don't think people here know a lot of the words they clue.

1:42 pm

72 Temple Owl

i love it when the word is new to me. i love having to look them up.

1:42 pm

hokie carla

I'm just wondering if the flippers got it. But bea gets stuff like that. Did she get it on her own?

1:43 pm

hokie carla

I do not have a pe6/7

1:43 pm

72 Temple Owl

that is a sea bird

1:44 pm

72 Temple Owl

my friend in baltimore named his yacht that

1:44 pm

MollyL

My favorite part of the flip is when people call out stats after the clues go up. Hey, I can do that. 😊

1:46 pm

hokie carla

I just assume/hope they've actually found it and not clicked the list. Sometimes I have done that, but I do hesitate, thinking people will think, yeah, sure.

1:48 pm

72 Temple Owl

time to go do some indoor work. i have had it with yard work. later

1:48 pm

MollyL

The flip was a lot better when the ageement was no cluing in the first hour

2:26 pm

mkg

Got it. Super clues.

2:27 pm

Would love to get the pe words the 6/7 combo but just not seeing it. Any help welcome

2:27 pm

hurshy

2:28 pm

mkg

Ty but still dont know it. All i know is pe is the first two letters. Sorry

2:29 pm

mkg

I have pu six a chicken. But cant find the pe.

2:29 pm

hurshy

less domesticated, more marine

2:29 pm

hokie carla

yeah, I don't know that one either

2:30 pm

hokie carla

and can't think of a chicken

2:31 pm

hokie carla

but found an et6 I usually miss

2:31 pm

mkg

A kind of chicken is a pu 6. Rhymes with the bu six that you shoot out of a gun.

2:33 pm

hokie carla

thanks

3:03 pm

Gillie

The pe6/7 sounds like the British word for gas

3:05 pm

mkg

Great clue gillie. Got it. Ty.

3:06 pm

hokie carla

went to list and had just found that. where were you earlier, gillie? 😜

3:06 pm

hokie carla

mkg, do you have the 7/8?

3:07 pm

hokie carla

if not, add the sometimes vowel in the pe6/7

3:13 pm

MollyL

There were a lot of easy clues for pe7/8 earlier

3:13 pm

hokie carla

anyone have the pe6/24? just tried looking it up and can't find.

3:13 pm

nrkii

yes, its the start of the word meaning next to last

3:14 pm

hokie carla

yeah, but I didn't know if she saw those and since it's almost the exact word as the 6 (and somehow I missed that), I thought I would drop one.

3:14 pm

hokie carla

ah, thanks, nellie.

3:15 pm

MollyL

Again, how do people know these words?

3:16 pm

hokie carla

well, that one I've seen before

3:18 pm

hurshy

i can't speak for everyone, but i know words because i've read a lot of books.

3:19 pm

hurshy

phantom: replete

3:25 pm

hokie carla

okay, last word I can't find. su6/27

3:26 pm

hokie carla

phantom supplier

3:28 pm

hokie carla

nm, looked it up

3:30 pm

nrkii

Am curious about su6 27... wasn't watching chat

3:32 pm

nrkii

ohhh

3:32 pm

nrkii

from "Throw Momma from the Train"

The night was... su6/27

3:36 pm

MollyL

I've read a lot of books too, but I don't remember all the weird words that may have been in them

3:38 pm

nrkii

Not sure if you are referring to my comment, but I mean the movie with Billy Crystal and Danny DeVito. One of the most memorable moments of the movie was when they were trying to come up with a word to end that sentence, and Momma woke up and said "The night was SU6!" That was when BIlly Crystal agreed to kill her.

3:38 pm

dcseain

Thanks, nrkii :)

3:39 pm

dcseain

huge thunderstorm where I am.

3:46 pm

MollyL

Not referring to your comment. I am very familiar with "Throw Mama From The Train"

3:47 pm

MollyL

Owen!!! Get me a coke!!

3:47 pm

nrkii

Down to 8 here... I don't think these last 8 will be any fun though

3:47 pm

nrkii

:) :) I should watch that movie with my brother while he's visiting

3:48 pm

nrkii

It's been too long

3:57 pm

hokie carla

never seen it {ducks}

3:57 pm

nrkii

It's not too late, carla

3:58 pm

nrkii

And it is very very funny

3:58 pm

hokie carla

I quoted karate kid this morning at tennis but everyone's like 20 years older than me so no one ever gets my quotes or songs I sing

4:02 pm

MollyL

I am more than 20 years older than you and I would get a Karate Kid reference

4:07 pm

Sophie512

I pulled up the original KK for my grands the other night while I was grand sitting (they aren't babies anymore, they say) Their parents weren't even born yet when it was released!

4:13 pm

MollyL

Grand sitting?

4:24 pm

Sophie512

yep.....they don't like the word babysitting any more

4:28 pm

hokie carla

yeah, my tennis partner was 17 years older and I thought he should've known it anyway

4:31 pm

MollyL

I've never gotten the whole "sitting" thing

4:34 pm

Shirlockc

clue for the lone e on the bottom row?

4:36 pm

Gillie

follow in time, as a consequence

4:36 pm

Gillie

I was once informed by the parents of a child that I was going to watch that I could sit on him if he wouldn't stay in bed

4:36 pm

Shirlockc

thx gillie

4:37 pm

Gillie

yw

4:38 pm

Gillie

I assume Sophie's grandkids object to "baby" rather than "sitting"

5:02 pm

MollyL

That was made clear earlier. I was wondering about the sitting part.

5:05 pm

Gillie

I think it's just short for "sitting with the baby"

5:17 pm

Gillie

There's a pe7/8 pair that I don't remember seeing before. Looks like a different spelling of the pe6/7 pair, but it actually refers to a breastplate on a horse.

5:21 pm

Gillie

fw - going now, unless anyone wants clues

5:22 pm

Gillie

going...

5:23 pm

Gillie

going...

5:23 pm

Gillie
