8:24 am

mael

I got all the Bs, there's a pair that's a little unusual

8:25 am

hurshy

8:25 am

mael

to mix things around

8:25 am

hurshy

8:25 am

mael

12:20 pm

hokie carla

12:21 pm

12:28 pm

hurshy

thanks champ, just found it

12:28 pm

hurshy

was going to say it is like a vegetarian food with an H stuck in it

12:28 pm

hokie carla

that would not have helped me a bit

12:36 pm

hokie carla

okay, that middle row S is a PITA

12:43 pm

ChampFit

FW. Last word was the ga8. Stupid word.

12:43 pm

ChampFit

Good luck and enjoy!

12:46 pm

hokie carla

that's the only 8 I have

12:46 pm

cybernan

couldn't see that one

12:46 pm

hokie carla

I saw it clued right when I got here or I'm sure I wouldn't have stumbled onto it

12:51 pm

MollyL

It's the other pr8 that is nasty

12:51 pm

hokie carla

oh, there's another?

12:52 pm

MollyL

But according to Ru it's a nice grid with only two weird words. *Cough cough

12:53 pm

hokie carla

yeah, you know I take his grid reviews with several grains of salt

12:53 pm

cybernan

pr 7-8 -- can give a breakdown clue if you wish

12:54 pm

Shirlockc

and pepper as ruru is well seasoned

12:54 pm

hokie carla

kinda surprised priestdom isn't a word

12:55 pm

cybernan

went to list at 20 something and am still struggling - not sure what was so easy about it

12:55 pm

hokie carla

that's okay, I can just look it up later

12:55 pm

cybernan

no, but the he 7 is similar to that

12:56 pm

hokie carla

well that helped me find he7/8

12:56 pm

cybernan

:)

12:58 pm

hokie carla

LOL, I just now realized what you said. I thought you said "the 7" is similar to that, so I'm still trying to make a p7/8 like that.

12:59 pm

hokie carla

and still haven't found the dumb ga8

12:59 pm

moolingwa

hidey hodey

12:59 pm

hokie carla

moooo

1:00 pm

moolingwa

hey hoke, been a while :)

1:00 pm

cybernan

think french cigarettes

1:00 pm

cybernan

or are they cigars?

1:00 pm

moolingwa

how's the proverbial stuff?

1:00 pm

cybernan

smell awful whatever they are

1:00 pm

hokie carla

we were just talking about ruru's "easy grid" declaration and here comes someone else who'll think it's easy

1:00 pm

hokie carla

which one, nan? P or G?

1:00 pm

moolingwa

I say this with the absolute respect...but hope everyone got h6

1:01 pm

cybernan

gi 6-7

1:01 pm

moolingwa

I'm down to 17

1:01 pm

hokie carla

okay, how are you?

1:01 pm

moolingwa

1:01 pm

hokie carla

1:01 pm

moolingwa

I'm okay...my Q4, so insanity is prevailing

1:01 pm

cybernan

1:02 pm

hokie carla

hmm, is that a secret code?

1:02 pm

moolingwa

I've finished my G's

1:02 pm

cybernan

ga 8: elmer ga 6 plural

1:02 pm

hokie carla

1:02 pm

moolingwa

oh, my 4th quarter (last quarter of the fiscal year)

1:03 pm

cybernan

stuck on the so 7

1:03 pm

hokie carla

ok, got Q4 now. no idea on elmer if it's not glue or fudd.

1:04 pm

moolingwa

can't help you on glues

1:04 pm

hokie carla

don't have so7, nan. have tried sonatic a couple of times.

1:06 pm

moolingwa

I have no so7 either

1:06 pm

moolingwa

oh duh, it's an adjective

1:07 pm

cybernan

elmer ga 5 -- old movie starring Burt Lancaster

1:07 pm

hokie carla

gotta know your audience - way before my time

1:08 pm

cybernan

well it's not sonatic

1:08 pm

cybernan

got it

1:09 pm

cybernan

it was also a book -- you've probably heard of it

1:11 pm

hokie carla

I don't know what's going on. can find literally nothing with any clues. still 23 left. maybe I should take a nap.

1:14 pm

1:16 pm

cybernan

you would probably come up with it if you google it

1:16 pm

hokie carla

yeah, was just reading about him, thanks

1:18 pm

MollyL

ga8s are actually cranes. I only know that because I am in the construction business.

1:20 pm

hokie carla

why would you know birds in construction? 😜🤣

1:21 pm

moolingwa

cranes? :)

1:22 pm

moolingwa

I can just imagine a sandhill crane lifting up cement blocks

1:22 pm

hokie carla

they have a big wingspan, so they can probably do a lot

1:23 pm

moolingwa

was a lot of them out in Nebraska when I went out there last month

1:23 pm

cybernan

Done - no matter what ru and mool think, this grid was not easy

1:23 pm

hokie carla

agreed

1:23 pm

moolingwa

I don't think it's easy for what it's worth

1:24 pm

cybernan

any clues wanted before I leave?

1:24 pm

moolingwa

4-2-1-5-2 remaining

1:32 pm

hokie carla

I can't tell you how many times I say that in tennis

1:33 pm

moolingwa

I can tell you how many times I say that in tennis

1:33 pm

hokie carla

still wondering what moo's L was

1:33 pm

hokie carla

zero?

1:33 pm

moolingwa

I guess you can say too

1:33 pm

cybernan

extend the pr 5 that sounds like something you won for a 7-8 combo

1:34 pm

moolingwa

oh, my l was the beginning of a 6/7 combo which I had

1:34 pm

hokie carla

oh

1:34 pm

moolingwa

1:35 pm

moolingwa

before you are knighted (as a man), you are a presir

1:35 pm

hokie carla

now it's gone.

1:36 pm

moolingwa

yeah, I never get tired of hummingbirds

1:36 pm

hokie carla

ok, that was my L too. could've sworn I tried that when I got the 6/7.

1:37 pm

moolingwa

yeah, I realised I hadn't put it in

1:38 pm

hokie carla

I got the first part of nan's pr7 clue but no idea on the rest

1:38 pm

moolingwa

I missed those :)

1:39 pm

moolingwa

PPPP S SS T

1:42 pm

welki

hey there - hokie, check your email

1:43 pm

hokie carla

will do, welki

1:44 pm

hokie carla

okay, it won't let me preview, so I'm trusting you to not be giving me a virus 😁

1:45 pm

welki

no ma'am

1:45 pm

moolingwa

there's a concept in my line of work called Zero Trust :)

1:45 pm

welki

heh - probably in most lines of work

1:45 pm

hokie carla

haha

1:46 pm

moolingwa

heh

1:46 pm

hokie carla

you're saying you don't trust welki? come on [runs quick virus scan]

1:46 pm

welki

i wouldn't trust me. ask anyone :)

1:46 pm

moolingwa

how we can be sure it's really welki...maybe welki is an AI sim?

1:47 pm

moolingwa

maybe welki doesn't actually exist

1:47 pm

hokie carla

it is a video of tiny hummingbird feeders

1:47 pm

hokie carla

how did you make them?

1:48 pm

moolingwa

it could be a clever acronym like We Exist Long-after Killing It

1:48 pm

welki

quick trip to the dollar store for tiny containers and a hummingbird feeder (for the flowers) - drilled a hole in the lids, affixed the flowers, added nectar and bob's your uncle!

1:48 pm

hokie carla

2-1-2-6-1
finally found a G
PPP S
SSSSS
GGG

1:48 pm

hokie carla

we could've used you last year when one was stuck in our garage

1:48 pm

moolingwa

1:49 pm

moolingwa

2-1-1-3-1

1:49 pm

welki

moo, if someone were to actually generate me as AI, I hope they'd be more generous in the looks department

1:51 pm

hokie carla

moo, why do you all call it Zero Trust when obviously should've gone with Mulder's "trust no one".

1:51 pm

moolingwa

looks schmooks...leave that to the "influencers"

1:52 pm

moolingwa

well trust no one is a tenant, but in the name of brevity...Zero Trust cuts out a space and a letter ;)

1:52 pm

hokie carla

finally looked up that P set

1:52 pm

welki

I worked in the court system - trust was never a problem :D

1:52 pm

bleugirl2

ES 7?

1:53 pm

welki

es7 de corps

1:53 pm

hokie carla

plural of a french word. trendy clothing brand in the 80s

1:53 pm

welki

(plural)

1:53 pm

moolingwa

plus in zero trust, it can be a non human (e.g. a piece of code) that is making the request, so the no one kind of breaks down

1:54 pm

bleugirl2

i ok i couldn't see the plural. do now.

1:56 pm

hokie carla

I got an email from a company yesterday that they locked my account because of too many attempts. I can't even get past the email screen when I try to log in because of technical difficulties.

1:56 pm

moolingwa

yeah, that definitely happens

1:57 pm

moolingwa

oh, just found a couple of P's...another guess

1:57 pm

hokie carla

but how am I supposed to even do anything to take care of it?

1:58 pm

moolingwa

have to call them

1:58 pm

moolingwa

ah, there's my last 6...was missing a plural

1:59 pm

hokie carla

talk to a person? you must be joking 😜

2:14 pm

dcseain

huh. Amazon has added GrubHub+ to Prime.

2:14 pm

dcseain

hey, yall

2:14 pm

hokie carla

hey seain

2:14 pm

dcseain

:) hey, carla

2:18 pm

hokie carla

well, decided to list so I could finally put this one to bed.

2:22 pm

dcseain

I'm leaning that way soon myself. This one is challenging. I've only got 60 so far, and am rather at a loss. even with a couple breaks

2:26 pm

dcseain

many phantoms for me today too.

2:26 pm

hokie carla

yeah, it's a slog

2:38 pm

moolingwa

still 5 left here

3:23 pm

BzznBea

That L was a stinker.

3:24 pm

moolingwa

5:15 pm

bleugirl2

5:18 pm

rbud

5:20 pm

MollyL
