7:41 am

mael

I have two 8s so far just from the top row, feels promising!

7:48 am

mael

7:49 am

doseffing

... with the 8 and 9 comes another 7 and 8

7:49 am

mael

8:13 am

mael

FW!

8:37 am

MollyL

Who knew there was an alternate spelling

8:42 am

BzznBea

there is always an alternate spelling. case in point, the y...

8:46 am

rururocks

is it me or are the e's really hidden today

8:48 am

BzznBea

i'm missing two from the 2nd row

8:48 am

doseffing

... they've all been in the grid before on a regular basis but you're right; only three are common words

8:48 am

BzznBea

i'm sure the double letter is involved

8:49 am

hokie carla

hi y'all, just on the 2nd tile here

8:49 am

hokie carla

thought the d was really hard (don't even ruru) but then I almost finished it (just need 1)

8:50 am

rururocks

oh.. you're missing out on a good pun

8:50 am

hokie carla

dos, why do canadians have cheque but not tiquet?

8:51 am

BzznBea

any one seen welki lately?

8:51 am

rururocks

no.. and not Une either.. i wrote to her twice..

8:52 am

hokie carla

well, I emailed with her a while back and she said she was a lurker now. then she dared dip her toe in the chat one day with well wishes to our israeli players and a big thing started, so I doubt she'll come back.

8:52 am

markbowers7

phantom: cwms

8:53 am

doseffing

... because we like french particularly Norman french and we like the letter "u" .... besides the french word for ticket is "billet"

8:53 am

BzznBea

thanks, carla. i'm sure that is why a lot of people are lurking now days.

8:54 am

hokie carla

yep

8:56 am

hokie carla

I am still worried about the disappearance of moo. I know he's disappeared before but he also hasn't been seen at serpentine in a long time.

8:57 am

hokie carla

and thanks dos, for the french canadian lesson😁

8:57 am

doseffing

... any time

9:02 am

hokie carla

ok, now I'm missing 2 e's from the second row

9:03 am

hokie carla

9:03 am

BzznBea

9:03 am

doseffing

9:04 am

hokie carla

got the es5, thx

9:05 am

hokie carla

and the 7 for 2nd row gray!

9:06 am

hokie carla

sorry for the excitement, it's rare I gray a row on first pass

9:06 am

BzznBea

reading about the dentist in raleigh...come in for a set of invisiline and get a glock. Grins for glocks,

9:07 am

hokie carla

wow

9:08 am

hokie carla

phantom emus

9:09 am

rururocks

that is just so wrong...gives a new meaning to I gotta get a cap done at the dentist today

9:10 am

BzznBea

i'm sure he won't have invisiline much longer or a dental license.

9:11 am

hokie carla

yeah, I would think invisalign would end that working arrangement

9:13 am

hokie carla

btw, I was once a case study for invisalign. my ortho was one of the leading ones in the country doing it and used me.

9:13 am

BzznBea

cool!

9:14 am

BzznBea

i just had to endure the torture of metal.

9:15 am

hokie carla

then they tried to get me to sign a release to be in his book and I never did. after the invisalign he had put retainers on the back of my teeth and one broke and he charged me like $100 to fix it. I was thinking if you wanted to use someone you could at least fix that for free.

9:16 am

hokie carla

sewist is a word in all my FB sewing groups. not in enable land though.

9:17 am

hokie carla

so far the 2nd S is the toughest tile

9:17 am

BzznBea

agree

9:18 am

hokie carla

phantom screw (ok, ruru do what you must)

9:18 am

MollyL

I'm sure he's had a couple of those

9:21 am

hokie carla

thought that might lure molly out too

9:21 am

hokie carla

ruru must have fallen asleep

9:22 am

BzznBea

easy grid today.

9:22 am

rururocks

no.. just looking for the screwdriver

9:22 am

hokie carla

or he's so focused so he can finish before us and be smug

9:23 am

rururocks

i finished an hour ago

9:23 am

BzznBea

Do you save your word list from time to time during the day? Might be a good idea.

7:52 pm

mkg

Went to an Israel rally in DC today. Over 900 people were stranded at Dulles airport and could not get to the rally. Evidently the buses they had hired wouldnt take them to a rally for israel. Nice huh? Talk about anti semitism. They flew in from Montreal just for the rally.

7:53 pm

mkg

Ty for 9 stat

7:57 pm

nrkii

sorry to hear that people got stuck like that, but so very happy that nothing horrible happened at the rally... I'm always worried about those events... I was keeping the rally-goers in my thoughts today.

7:59 pm

mkg

The police were all over. With large rifles and ready for anything that looked wrong.

7:59 pm

mkg

The anti semitism here now is really bad.

8:00 pm

mkg

Well not seeing any of the me words other than the 4s at the end.

8:00 pm

So i am happy to get any clues you have.

8:00 pm

The ME series is sort of like the nasty little flying bug that bites you

8:01 pm

mkg

Ty. Will look.

8:02 pm

nrkii

it's actually a tree/shrub, but I remember it like the biting bug that starts with MO

8:03 pm

mkg

Got a 7. But when i add the ending for the bugs it wont take it.

8:04 pm

nrkii

change the vowel at the end, and also drop the vowel

8:04 pm

nrkii

wait, you already got it with the dropped vowel

8:04 pm

nrkii

so plural, add different vowel, and plural again

8:04 pm

mkg

Oh got the 8 and 9. Ty.

8:05 pm

mkg

And another 8. Ty ty

8:05 pm

nrkii

Oh, I had missed the sad song for someone who died
