hokie carla

wow, IG, are we just typing actual words we find now. 🤣

7:41 am

sukee

Hi Hokie, I didn't think to try what he said because I thought it was a proper name :)

7:41 am

hokie carla

it is, but we have it in the grid all the time. I've never looked up the def though.

7:41 am

hokie carla

an almost extinct mountain gazelle of arabia

7:42 am

sukee

It's a gazelle

7:42 am

sukee

lol, so we both looked at the same time :)

7:42 am

hokie carla

yep

7:43 am

MollyL

Bert McBlurt, he loves to shout 'em out

7:43 am

saanichcat

she is also a character in Greek mythology

7:44 am

sukee

Obviously Hans Christian Anderson had read that myth.

7:45 am

hokie carla

well, I gotta get ready for tennis. still 175 left. TTFN.

7:45 am

MollyL

She is also a tempest in Shakespeare

MollyL

7:50 am

saanichcat

then you want the second one

7:51 am

sukee

Yes, but there are 3 Js so I meant the 3rd J, not the 3rd in position :) Which of course I didn't know until I found it.

7:52 am

g'morning!

9:53 am

cybernan

good morning everyone :)

9:54 am

hurshy

hiya nan

9:55 am

Book Doctor Gwen

Hi all, signing in from Arizona, on a wee little vacation and buying trip

9:55 am

hurshy

say hi to my friend Emily for me :) lol

9:56 am

mkg

Any clues for the ra 8/9 combo? Not seeing them so far. Any meanings or other hints welcome.

9:59 am

hurshy

not there yet myself

10:01 am

hurshy

one of my youngest uncles had a heart attack yesterday. i gather he had a stent put in and is ok. his poor wife was halfway across the country with her sister, who is dying of cancer, and had to try to get a flight home. what a hard time for her!

10:01 am

mkg

So sorry for her hurshy. Wow.

10:02 am

hurshy

he's only 51 and always been in good shape, a runner.

10:04 am

mkg

I know so many runner stories like this. I hope he will be ok

10:05 am

hurshy

i guess it's one of those reminders to appreciate life while we have it

10:05 am

mkg

Cant find the words for the top row N. Darn.

10:06 am

hurshy

if it's plastic, wood, or glass, it's a no8

10:06 am

hurshy

and if it's vegetarian, it's no7

10:06 am

mkg

Hurshy in judiasm there is a prayer we say when we wake up each morning that basically thanks god for having us wake up healthy. Good one. Most dont bother with it but i often think this is really a good one.

10:06 am

mkg

Oh ty for the clue

10:06 am

hurshy

yes, i've heard of that mkg :)

10:07 am

Kaplan the Magne

It also praises not being born a woman. You should hear how people try to rationalize that one

10:08 am

mkg

Got the n word. Ty hurshy. Well lets also be very grateful for the doctors and scientists who have come up with all the treatments for illnesses……..

10:08 am

hurshy

lol good heavens kap, i didn't know about that part

10:09 am

mkg

Kaplan, there is also a prayer we put in that thanks god FOR creating us as women. Depends on where you are in the religion. I am grateful for the many types of jewish you can be

10:09 am

Kaplan the Magne

It's Orthodox. See, the men have the privilege of fulfilling all the commandments, and women only have 3

10:10 am

hurshy

it's hardly surprising, we know they had a very patriarchal society

10:10 am

mkg

Really? I am modern orthodox and so we think differently. Very differently.

10:11 am

hurshy

we could throw in a bit now about being thankful not to be born in ancient israel lol

10:11 am

mkg

The commandments were seen as a burden not a blessing.

10:12 am

Kaplan the Magne

Judaism has so many approaches. The only one that is invalid as is Jews For Jesus. I cover all the bases in my practice. Modern Orthodox AOK. Mkg, my nephews family are all Haredi, meaning separate ultra-orthodox communities

10:13 am

mkg

Hurshy i am so grateful for being born now. My grandfathers died of heart ailments at younger ages and there was no medicine or knowledge. My grandfather had several heart attacks, starting in his early sixties. And you know what the advice was? FOR HIM TO DO NO EXERCISE. Just the opposite of what we now know. He smoked and NO ONE ADVISED HIM TO STOP SMOKING!!!!!

10:13 am

mkg

Kaplan i know many Haredi. I am just thankful i was not born into that part of the religion.

10:13 am

mkg

Happy sukkos.

10:13 am

Kaplan the Magne

MKG similarly the commandments were seen as a blessing, not a burden, with women not obliged to do all 613 commandments because the were tied up with the many children.

10:14 am

Kaplan the Magne

My nephew has 6 ranging from 14-1 in age, no sign of any stop.

10:14 am

Kaplan the Magne

Hes, CHag Sameach.

10:15 am

hurshy

my oldest uncle has 9... they stopped when she hit menopause i guess... but ultra-conservative evangelical

10:16 am

Kaplan the Magne

I get upset when people downgrade science and allopathic medicine when so many lives have been saved. Anti-vaxxers...NO.

10:17 am

hurshy

<--- kitten is in the grid! and sitting on me purring!

10:19 am

mrloser

rile

10:21 am

hurshy

those Rs are sort of hard but i did have that one

10:21 am

hurshy

and that's where Rilla's name is :)

10:24 am

cybernan

only half way and already tired of this one

10:26 am

hurshy

didn't samuel johnson say if you're tired of Babble, you're tired of life?

10:30 am

hurshy

*hopes someone out there appreciates that joke*

10:31 am

cybernan

not me - a parody of one of his sayings?

10:31 am

hurshy

yes, he said if you were tired of London, you were tired of life

10:32 am

hurshy

and of course it's funny because babble did not exist until long after he died

10:33 am

hurshy

my favorite type of flower is in the grid

10:38 am

bichon

hint, pls, hushy. Love flowers

10:39 am

hurshy

they smell really nice and they grow on bushes and they are a light purple

10:39 am

cybernan

don't remember too much about Johnson - we spent more time reading the Bronte's and Browning's work in school

10:39 am

bichon

know it, ty

10:40 am

hurshy

i just remembered the quote and then looked up who said it.

10:40 am

hurshy

so's i could make my little joke

10:47 am

cybernan

did anyone ever clue the ar 8 - 9?

10:47 am

hurshy

well, i'd say this grid is on the difficult side

10:48 am

cybernan

or was it an ra?

10:48 am

hurshy

mkg asked for a clue, saying it was ra

10:48 am

hurshy

10:49 am

cybernan

the RA 8 is defined as "a small or secondary rachis, as the axis of a spikelet in a grass inflorescence"...right....

1:16 pm

hokie carla

hahaha

1:18 pm

BzznBea

that just means that the flowers are clustered on the plant

1:18 pm

BzznBea

2:08 pm

cybernan

not finding the right combo -- just have one do 4/6, so I guess it is something else

2:12 pm

aebmusica

if you have ha7/40 add a vowel at the end of it

2:13 pm

cybernan

2:13 pm

aebmusica

I don't know how else to clue it....im sorry

2:15 pm

two letter laugh+top of a pan+ what you live in minus the consonant

2:16 pm

gemini_J13

3:41 pm

BzznBea

3:43 pm

hokie carla

3:43 pm

mael

3:44 pm

hokie carla

I used 22 letters in wordle today and failed

3:45 pm

BzznBea

oh my! i haven't played yet.

3:45 pm

mael

I got there in 5 but it was a slog and a half

3:45 pm

hokie carla

wordlebot was basically like. good one, good one, good one, unlucky. you think?

3:45 pm

mael

yup

3:46 pm

hokie carla

hopefully that doesn't ruin it for bea, but probably

3:46 pm

BzznBea

going to wordle

3:46 pm

hokie carla

(it shouldn't but you word nerds have a 6th sense)

3:47 pm

mael

cardon is too a word, enable

3:47 pm

hokie carla

I thought so too. tried that this morning.

3:47 pm

hokie carla

not that I think it's a word I'd use but I thought we'd had it.

3:48 pm

mael

I thought it was an alternate spelling of cardoon, tbh

3:48 pm

mael

there are enough alternate spelling in enable that it sounded plausible to me

3:48 pm

mael

oh and it IS a word, it's a cactus

3:49 pm

mael

thanks, google

3:50 pm

hokie carla

well, made it to 51 left. still 12 c's and 9 h's. everything else is 4 or less. gonna do some things. TTFN. hopefully bea's wordle goes okay. 😁

4:11 pm

cybernan

my wordle today had a multiple letter - took me 5

4:12 pm

BzznBea

they are different if you don't subscribe to they NYT, I believe.

4:12 pm

dcseain

4:13 pm

cybernan

OK - I have no reason to subscribe to the NYT

4:13 pm
