MollyL

It's the only way to flush the post and fix the chat

11:56 am

jesdraggon

(it didn't actually mess my chat up, but it broke the link anyway, so I didn't get the clue)

11:57 am

MollyL

It blows the chat width

11:57 am

MollyL

You have to take the \n's out of the posted long url

12:05 pm

jesdraggon

still not finding an so word there though, i feel like i'm failing at internet this morning

12:07 pm

jesdraggon

only have 5 left and feels silly to list at this point but definitely stuck here

12:08 pm

jesdraggon

and signet does not work no matter how many times i try it ;)

12:18 pm

MollyL

The link is bogus. It leads to a definition of elegant.

12:22 pm

momof5

Not getting the clue: so + not out + first part of 'ladies" but masculine. Don’t see “not out”, let alone the rest. Help.

12:22 pm

MollyL

Okay, now I see where that person was going.

12:22 pm

MollyL

Try doing a Google search on this: crossword polished and well groomed

12:23 pm

MollyL

Mom, that clue is wrong. There is no "not out" in the grid

12:24 pm

MollyL

Or so + si word Jes kept trying minus the S and the T

12:24 pm

momof5

That’s what kept stumping me. Thanks for the google search suggestion. Got it! And, FW!
