cybernan

good morning all :)

11:44 am

cybernan

seems like I've been typing non-stop and still not getting anywhere

11:45 am

hurshy

that's odd

11:49 am

hokie carla

same, still have 89 left

11:49 am

MollyL

Not really odd, typical for these grids

11:50 am

hokie carla

some of them go better than others at this size

11:53 am

BzznBea

I'm having a hard time with the A's today.

11:54 am

hokie carla

I need 3 + 2 + 3 A's. you probably have more but that is a hard time for you and a's. 😜

11:55 am

BzznBea

9+2+4 But I am only one my first pass. I slpet in late today.

11:56 am

hokie carla

working on the P. barely got half on first pass and still have 9 left. it's like every weird P we've ever had in one grid.

11:56 am

BzznBea

11:56 am

BzznBea

nevermind

11:56 am

hokie carla

11:56 am

BzznBea

It's was a long week.

11:57 am

hokie carla

sorry

11:58 am

hurshy

well i just thought, since nan had said good morning not too long before, that she was typing a lot and not getting anywhere from the get-go, which is what seemed odd to me

11:59 am

hurshy

usually at the beginning of a big grid it goes well

12:00 pm

hokie carla

well, I couldn't get HOET on first pass, so didn't go well for me

12:00 pm

hurshy

12:03 pm

hokie carla

p5 express?

12:03 pm

LeslieAnn

oh good guess carla

12:03 pm

MollyL

Not WASP

12:04 pm

cybernan

that's why I asked if it was chinese

12:04 pm

hurshy

i wouldn't really do that as a proper noun since it counts, anyway

12:04 pm

LeslieAnn

well, not exactly chinese either

12:04 pm

hokie carla

well my chinese friend said chinese food in america is not really

12:04 pm

MollyL

Panera

12:04 pm

hurshy

12:04 pm

hurshy

Molly wins WASP of the day

12:04 pm

hokie carla

ah, good one, molly

12:05 pm

hurshy

maybe you don't have Panera in canada?

12:05 pm

MollyL

I don't care for Panera

12:05 pm

cybernan

probably not

12:05 pm

hokie carla

well of course I haven't had it since 2014

12:05 pm

cybernan

not that I've seen around here

12:05 pm

hokie carla

I did love the bread bowl though

12:05 pm

hurshy

it lay along my route so i stopped there and got a salad

12:06 pm

hurshy

it had been a long time since i'd been to one

12:06 pm

cybernan

mind you - ru, ori and saanich went to restaurants here that I've never heard of :)

12:06 pm

MollyL

She's gluten free you know.

12:06 pm

doseffing

12:06 pm

hokie carla

12:07 pm

MollyL

hurshy

12:07 pm

hurshy

i love gluten

12:08 pm

hokie carla

12:08 pm

hokie carla

I also love gluten

12:08 pm

hurshy

OHHHH

12:08 pm

hurshy

see how was i supposed to guess that when you had just said you loved the bread bowl before

12:08 pm

hurshy

but i guess that would be why you stopped going

12:08 pm

LeslieAnn

that's a bummer carla

12:09 pm

BzznBea

I had no idea Carla was GF.

12:09 pm

hokie carla

lol, now bea is trolling. yes, it is, Leslie.

12:10 pm

hurshy

12:11 pm

BzznBea

You know I love you, Carla.

12:11 pm

somewhat. a combo of carsickness and not eating enough food today. hard to eat gluten free on the road.

5:11 pm

LeslieAnn

gas station snacks usually make me nauseous anyway

5:12 pm

hokie carla

I had a bag of chips from the gas station. and 2 little granola bar squares for breakfast.

5:12 pm

Keep some fruit and nuts with you.

5:13 pm

5:13 pm

hokie carla

poor management, I know

5:14 pm

BzznBea

I love rest stops picnics

5:16 pm

MollyL

So great

5:16 pm

hokie carla

me too. we used to do them all the time in the motorhome.

5:21 pm

LeslieAnn

for such a big grid, there's very few clues in chat

5:22 pm

hokie carla

maybe everyone gave up

5:23 pm

BzznBea

Agree, LeslieAnn. Not sure where everyone is today.

5:23 pm

rururocks

we just need MKG to show up and ask for clues

5:23 pm

hokie carla

I actually found that one and the 5 on my own today shockingly

5:34 pm

LeslieAnn

5:34 pm

LeslieAnn

5:34 pm

hokie carla

5:35 pm

5:40 pm

hokie carla

mr. homie & I did separate bike rides yesterday (I did not get serial killed) and mine was super flat and straight road. he went over the interstate and rode around Wilson Lake and it was crazy hilly. I couldn't believe what I was seeing when we drove over there.
