Hilarious headline: 57% of Americans say Trump's alleged crimes are "serious". So let me get this right, 43% of Americans think they aren't serious? I wonder about some people's logic.

6:38 am

sukee

Really.

6:52 am

periwinkle

good morning all. help with ca8/9/9 please

6:57 am

dauber

I was able to get those thanks to my Catholic upbringing. They're all based on what you study to learn the ways of Catholicism.

6:58 am

periwinkle

ok, will keep looking.

7:01 am

periwinkle

not likely to find them since I am not Catholic

7:02 am

The c words are not about Catholicism. They are about Christian doctrine.

7:40 am

MollyL

And actually, 2 of them are chemistry words.

8:10 am

pabtrek

EmaMaria

These are not the droids you are looking for....

9:09 am

rururocks

droids? I don't get it

9:09 am

EmaMaria

It's a Star Wars joke ... androids is my phantom...

9:10 am

rururocks

oh.. sorry not a star wars fan

9:11 am

MollyL

Oh I bet he lies. Princess Leia was probably his pin-up girl. He likes big buns.

9:12 am

rururocks

I saw the first movie and that was plenty for me.. it was the only movie playing at the theater for more than two years

9:13 am

MollyL

I think the first one is all I have seen too.

9:15 am

rururocks

that and star trek are not my thing.. although I hear a lot about them from origami

9:15 am

MollyL

*Waits for someone to mention Yoda is in the grid

9:16 am

MollyL

Oh really, is origami one of those obsessed with Star Trek people like Hurshy? They should dress up and go convention hopping.

9:16 am

EmaMaria

I love the original three... not so keen on the subsequent ones... Loved Yoda ... had a poster of him on my wall

9:17 am

rururocks

wow.. that's being a fan

9:19 am

rururocks

what was with that princesse hairdo anyway>?

9:19 am

MollyL

Did anyone see pictures of the flooding in Dubai? 10 inches of rain in 24 hours.

9:20 am

rururocks

I did.. weird they never get rain

9:20 am

MollyL

The climate change people have gathered to chant and sing

9:23 am

9:43 am

saanichcat

9:43 am

MollyL

Boating

9:45 am

origami

Ah, yes. I like The Next Generation. And the original three Star Wars movies. I thought the last six released were dumb.

9:45 am

MollyL

I can't believe there are that many Star Wars movies

9:46 am

MollyL

Oh my God, there are 12

9:49 am

saanichcat

never saw the movies though, also think that too many movies get repetitive and boring

9:52 am

origami

Then there was the TV show on Disney (which purchased the franchise) called the Mandalorian.

12:21 pm

hurshy

Os Obliterated!

12:23 pm

hurshy

need one more G to grey the top row

12:23 pm

hurshy

if anyone has a guess on that or the bottom E, twould be most appreciated :D

12:23 pm

penquis

still missing two Gs and one E from bottom row....oh....and 42 other words... ;o)

12:25 pm

penquis

well i found my last E....just add it to a four letter C word, if that is the one you are missing...E C 5

12:25 pm

hurshy

you mean a five letter C word! thanks!

12:25 pm

penquis

well i am still missing one E from the first column....

12:25 pm

penquis

oh, yes....sorry....

12:26 pm

penquis

so it's EC 6...

12:26 pm

hurshy

if a strawberry LOOKS fine but smells and tastes a little odd, what do we think is the deal?

12:27 pm

penquis

i don't buy strawberries at the grocery store....been burnt too often with tasteless strawberries...

12:27 pm

hurshy

well tasteless is one thing, going to harm you is another

12:30 pm

penquis

found my last G....still missing one?

12:30 pm

hurshy

yes

12:30 pm

penquis

i think it might be the GY 6....a second one....

12:30 pm

hurshy

thanks!

12:31 pm

penquis

yw...

12:33 pm

MollyL

Smells and tastes odd = TRASH to me

12:33 pm

MollyL

And I agree with Pen about grocery store strawberries

12:35 pm

penquis

sometimes the look nice and have no taste at all....

12:36 pm

penquis

don't buy store peaches either.....have been burnt too often with nice looking, tasteless peaches....and sometimes they are also quite dry, even when left to ripen more...

12:36 pm

hurshy

yeah peaches for sure

12:37 pm

hurshy

they're always hard and you leave them to ripen and a lot of times they just sort of stay hard but then rot, there's no point where they are just... ripe

12:37 pm

penquis

exactly....

12:37 pm

hurshy

idk how the stores continue to sell a lot of them

12:37 pm

penquis

farmstands here will occasionally have them, but it's not common....

12:38 pm

hurshy

do we know if there are any TE words?

12:38 pm

penquis

12:49 pm

hurshy

hmmm, finding the lower C tough, though i greyed the upper one

12:49 pm

penquis

still missing four of the upper and four of the lower C....

12:49 pm

hurshy

i need 7 lower

12:49 pm

hurshy

also have not found either of the 9s

12:50 pm

hurshy

maybe at least one of them is a C word

12:50 pm

penquis

the 9s are CA words....

12:50 pm

hurshy

then i need those! lol

12:51 pm

penquis

it's related to the little book that Catholic students have to learn....

12:51 pm

penquis

there are CA 8/9/9....have most of the same letters....

12:52 pm

hurshy

thanks! now i'm done with 7s and 8s and 9s and down to 4 lower C just like you!

12:52 pm

penquis

actually, only the second 9 is related to that...

12:52 pm

penquis

still missing lots of 7s here...have all my 8s and 9s...

12:53 pm

hurshy
