periwinkle

10:46 am

periwinkle

10:48 am

NonoNanette

Thanks Molly that completes my 8's

10:54 am

periwinkle

fl8 please

10:56 am

NonoNanette

peri, the chemical formula for the fl8 is C 13 H 10

10:57 am

periwinkle

ty but that does not help me

10:59 am

NonoNanette

just search the formula

10:59 am

periwinkle

I got it ty

11:15 am

MollyL

Oh come on Peri, we all know that you are a secret chemist 😊

11:36 am

penquis

hello all...

12:16 pm

hurshy

that's weird

12:17 pm

penquis

what?

12:17 pm

MollyL

Pen has switched to "non-lurk" mode 😊

12:17 pm

penquis

:oD

12:17 pm

hurshy

well you would think that the chemical formula for FL8 would include the element F

12:17 pm

hurshy

but it just has C and H

12:19 pm

penquis

i am not a student of chemistry...

12:20 pm

hurshy

well that is probably why i don't like chemistry

12:20 pm

hurshy

too many weird quirks

12:22 pm

hurshy

well now that i've hit F i am Flailing

12:22 pm

mael

well holy cow, 361??

12:23 pm

hurshy

phantom: flour

12:24 pm

penquis

yes, hard to believe there are that many words here...

12:30 pm

MollyL

Not all chemical formulas have elements with similar first letters (example CH4 is methane)

12:31 pm

wingding

molly can you share a clue for ch4 ?

12:31 pm

hurshy

yeah but there's no element that starts with meth- so that's less confusing

12:32 pm

Gillie

fl8 is apparently mainly derived from fl5/18 (better known by a longer name ending in "ite"), but does not share all its components

12:32 pm

wingding

sorry, noticed i'm clueless abt ch4 ....

12:41 pm

moolingwa

hi all

12:42 pm

1:33 pm

dcseain

...se7 wax and other fancy stuff!

1:45 pm

MollyL

Trust me Nan, you will get very tired of it.

1:52 pm

cybernan

through the chog - of course ru thought it was easy!

1:53 pm

cybernan

the only fl 8 I can think of is what is painted on my teeth every check up and that is a phantom

1:54 pm

Gillie

Starts the same as that - different last three letters

1:54 pm

cybernan

found an fe 8 though

1:55 pm

cybernan

ty gillie

1:56 pm

Gillie

So far I'm not finding it bad with the list

1:56 pm

Gillie

I'm working on the L's now - 30 left

1:57 pm

cybernan

need to tend to the laundry then lunch - will probably list after that

1:58 pm

cybernan

my d-i-l is in the grid and it is not considered a proper noun!

1:59 pm

cybernan

that will be one of your l's: la 5-6

1:59 pm

Gillie

got it - ty!

2:01 pm

Gillie

Finding lots of words that I should have gotten without the list, but I'm not that patient

2:02 pm

cybernan

hard to be patient with a grid this large. bbl

2:02 pm

Gillie

bye

2:13 pm

Gillie

2:15 pm

periwinkle

help with either de8 please. I do have the de9

2:17 pm

periwinkle

looking for ro8 without success

2:17 pm

periwinkle

found the ro8

2:21 pm

periwinkle

found one of the de8

2:36 pm

MollyL

ro8 sounds like a Louisiana sauce without the em

3:00 pm

ChampFit

Thank you Molly! Needed that.

3:11 pm

MollyL

I knew a Southern belle would get that. Bless your heart 😊

3:15 pm

ChampFit

Molly!!! "Bless your heart" is a southern thing that can be taken 2 ways. One is as you'd expect. The other is deragatory. I'm taking your meaning as the good one. :)

3:16 pm

cybernan

hi again :)

3:16 pm

cybernan

hi again :)

3:18 pm

cybernan

never been to louisiana so no idea about the sauces other than it is probably too hot for me

3:21 pm

ChampFit

No, the one she's talking about is one you'd use on crab cakes or other seafood. Not usually spicy, although it can be. Would usually be noted if a spicy one.

3:22 pm

cybernan

whatever - we just call that seafood sauce here

3:28 pm

MollyL

If you do a Google search on Louisiana sauce it comes right up

3:29 pm

hurshy

and if you found one de8 it should be pretty easy to find another

3:31 pm

cybernan

all I got when I googled it was "Louisiana Hot Sauce"

3:32 pm

hurshy

well, simpler to google the actual word anyway, which is also a food item: dish of filled rolled meat or pastry

3:34 pm

cybernan

a meat pie?

3:35 pm

cybernan

like a tortiere?

3:35 pm

cybernan

can someone just give a clue for it please that isn't locally based?

3:36 pm

cybernan

can't be tobasco

3:36 pm

hurshy

it starts like a casino game that turns deadly if it's Russian, ends like a lemony summer beverage

3:36 pm

cybernan

ty hurshy

3:39 pm

cybernan

a new one for me. Have heard of the German version of beef stew - never had it though

3:39 pm

hurshy

methinks you need to watch more cooking shows, lol

3:40 pm

cybernan

I was thinking something French because of the creole influence in Louisiana

3:41 pm

hurshy

well they were talking about "rem + the rest of the ro7"

3:41 pm

cybernan

only cooking show I ever saw with hot sauces was the one with that crazy creole cook

3:41 pm

hurshy

which is totally different, as it is a sauce

3:42 pm

hurshy

whereas i went for the actual ro7

3:42 pm

MollyL

If you do a Google search on Louisana sauce the first image that comes up is remoulade

3:42 pm

cybernan

never heard of the rem one

3:42 pm

cybernan

guess only in the south

3:43 pm

dcseain

I know it from living in Washington, DC

3:47 pm

cybernan

Washigton DC is south to me seain

3:47 pm

dcseain

in-between from local POV, but yeah.

3:52 pm

cybernan

don't think I've ever listed with 109 to go before, but this is just too frustrating

4:10 pm

moolingwa

rehi

4:12 pm

cybernan

hi mool

4:19 pm

ChampFit

I know "engine" isn't there, but it's making me crazy!

4:38 pm

dcseain

monkeyed the 9 :)

4:39 pm

ChampFit

Woohoo!

4:39 pm

dcseain

still 145 to go though, and I have a meeting in 20 minutes

4:42 pm

BzznBea

i'm just starting.

4:42 pm

ChampFit

Picking at my last 19

4:42 pm

dcseain

go, go champ!

4:45 pm

ChampFit

It's all downhill from here, anyway!

4:52 pm

dcseain

one nice thing about being early to video meeting - -plenty of time to get one's lighting right. Due to window behind me, too much sense flare, so closed the curtains.

4:53 pm

ChampFit

Good plan.

5:20 pm

MollyL

Sense flare 😊

5:21 pm

cybernan

3 left and giving up

5:24 pm

BzznBea

I thought that was pretty geek speak...

5:37 pm

BzznBea

hu7.36 is ridic

5:38 pm

ChampFit

Agree!

5:41 pm

MollyL

hu7/36 is a plural of a Brit word. Go figure

5:46 pm

ChampFit

FW. Last 2 were the sa6/7 combo. Have a great evening!

5:57 pm

dcseain

Yay Champ!

5:57 pm

dcseain

thanks, Molly

10:07 pm

Shellbell_o-well
