good morning

7:50 am

mael

wow, I can't believe I remembered the er6/7 combo

7:51 am

MollyL

I can believe anything when it comes to you and words.

7:52 am

mael

it's because it's a plant lol

7:53 am

MollyL

I thought it had something to do with The Beatles

7:54 am

bichon

7:55 am

mael

right column gray

7:59 am

mael

I went around in a box today

8:04 am

hokie carla

I just thought I am not trying oscar and then I tried it

8:04 am

mael

lol same

8:04 am

mael

it sounds like it ought to be a tie knot or something

8:05 am

hokie carla

it's a fish, like betta, etc

8:05 am

hokie carla

it's a cichlid. we had one way back.

8:06 am

mael

awesome! I don't know my fish at all, except for sushi

8:06 am

hokie carla

but you know, enable only has obscure fish that no one's heard of

8:07 am

mael

unsurprisingly I've always loved planted aquariums though

8:07 am

periwinkle

hello all. help with M on bottom row please

8:07 am

MollyL

A chiclid? Sounds like gum.

8:08 am

hokie carla

I think you are reading it wrong

8:08 am

MollyL

The M is a misspelling of Mrs. Eisenhower

8:08 am

periwinkle

ty Molly

8:08 am

MollyL

No, I spelled it wrong to make a joke. Looks like the joke failed.

8:09 am

hokie carla

wah wah (sad trombone)

8:10 am

mael

there's sea folk in the grid today

8:11 am

hokie carla

indeed

8:11 am

mael

thanks for those Ms, Molly. That's all of them for me.

8:12 am

hokie carla

any guesses on my last bottom A?

8:13 am

mael

am5/12? or the plural, which was my last

8:13 am

hokie carla

and my last H?

8:13 am

mael

pony

8:13 am

hokie carla

hmm, can't make sense of that. I have am4/5 set and an am4 with no plural

8:14 am

hokie carla

no, have that one

8:14 am

mael

then you're missing the lone am5/12

8:14 am

hokie carla

duh, it's straight down

8:14 am

mael

heh, that would have been my second guess

8:15 am

hokie carla

I was like, there's nowhere else to go!!! um, yes there was

8:15 am

hokie carla

okay, bottom row gray, back to my regular route. ugh, 20 c's.

8:16 am

joshuavorbis

it seems that no matter the puzzle, my last words are always A's

8:17 am

hokie carla

yep, nobody really likes A's except for BzznBea

8:20 am

joshuavorbis

9 left and they're all A's. as per usual

8:20 am

hokie carla

phantom synergy

8:20 am

hokie carla

awesome

8:21 am

mael

any guesses on my missing Q?

8:21 am

mael

I have two As left, ugh

8:21 am

hokie carla

oh, I thought you finished earlier

8:21 am

hokie carla

haven't looked at q but qill

8:21 am

hokie carla

will

8:22 am

mael

oh duh, found it. qu5/20

8:22 am

mael

4 words left, two As, one E, and a G

8:22 am

hokie carla

that's good since I only found 5/7

8:23 am

hokie carla

okay, now just need one. have a qu5/20 that's a plural, is there another?

8:23 am

joshuavorbis

yes

8:23 am

joshuavorbis

not a plural

8:24 am

hokie carla

oh, I have 2. so I need something else.

8:24 am

mael

yes, by asking it I clued it ;)

8:24 am

mael

oh found the G, twisty bugger

8:24 am

hokie carla

unfortunately I do have that inquisitive q

8:25 am

mael

got the E, my last two words are A6s. Sigh.

8:25 am

joshuavorbis

duh, just got the heavy-by-design an6/7. idk why I have such a blind spot with a's. 2 left

8:26 am

hokie carla

gracias. did not see that.

8:27 am

joshuavorbis

ah yes. ar6/30 was my finisher

8:27 am

mael

had those! but not an ar6! looking now

8:28 am

hokie carla

ah, airstream had a line of campers named that in the 60s/70s. didn't know that was a word.

8:28 am

joshuavorbis

ar6 is something that would feasibly have an an6

8:28 am

hokie carla

well done, josh

8:30 am

mael

found the an6 bunny but not the ar6. so a vessel huh

8:31 am

hokie carla

google airstreams that weren't silver

8:31 am

hokie carla

I'm going to bet the word is italian in origin

8:32 am

joshuavorbis

I wonder! I remember it from some Shakespeare play

8:32 am

bichon

ar 6/30, pls

8:33 am

joshuavorbis

ar6 rhymes with how you feel under a warm blanket on a cold day

8:33 am

hokie carla

bichon, that's the one we are talking about. look at my google clue

8:36 am

joshuavorbis

I thought it was related to the greek mythical ship but after looking up the etymology, it doesn't appear that it is!

8:37 am

hokie carla

ha! it is italian.

8:38 am

mael

found it and I had NO idea

8:38 am

hokie carla

hmm, need one 4th row M for HOET

8:38 am

mael

haha

8:38 am

mael

FWs

8:38 am

hokie carla

huzzah

8:39 am

mael

... but I would never have said they could get ar6 from that

8:39 am

hokie carla

HOET! 33 left for later. gotta get moving.
