Aw, Donald Sutherland died. He was classic.

7:02 am

hokie carla

I saw that yesterday. he was almost 90 it looks like. and I didn't remember him being canadian.

7:03 am

hokie carla

another first tile struggle

7:13 am

hokie carla

now I see some there. twisty.

7:23 am

MollyL

I knew he was Canadian. But that is because I was married to a Canadian and they like to announce "He's Canadian" whenever you mention a celebrity from there.

7:25 am

hokie carla

LOL, I saw Robin Thicke once say that his dad Alan did that all the time.

7:26 am

MollyL

They aren't so happy to do that when you mention Bieber or Celine Dion.

7:27 am

hokie carla

canadian? nah, I don't think so. 🤣

7:34 am

saanichcat

yes Sutherland was Canadian.

7:34 am

hokie carla

we get it, you all have superstars 😜

7:35 am

saanichcat

loads of them!

7:35 am

saanichcat

most are hockey players though

7:36 am

72 Temple Owl

shatner

7:37 am

saanichcat

Captain Kirk. Did you ever hear his awful Christmas album?

7:38 am

72 Temple Owl

yes. yes i have.

7:38 am

hokie carla

true story, at my first job out of college, one of my work friends was a bridesmaids in Alan Thicke's wedding to her best friend, who was a Miss South Carolina or some pageant (they met when he was a pageant judge!) Anyhoo, my friend walked down the aisle at the end of the wedding with groomsman Wayne Gretzky.

7:38 am

hokie carla

and IIRC she didn't really know who he was

7:39 am

saanichcat

did she ever find out?

7:40 am

hokie carla

yes, she knew when she was telling me the story

7:40 am

saanichcat

makes a great story for sure

7:41 am

rururocks

she must be kicking herself now

7:42 am

hokie carla

looks like that wedding was aug 94, and I met the friend in mar 95. I do not remember it being that soon after but I guess so.

7:43 am

hokie carla

ooh, have pickleball at 9. guess I better get moving. TTFN.

8:54 am

MollyL

I predict that Nan will squawk about the no8

9:03 am

hurshy

phantom: unison

9:05 am

hurshy

urf... i'm in that "waiting for the migraine pill i took to kick in" phase

9:09 am

rbud

i would never have guessed that se 8 and 9 could have squeezed into such a compact area in the grid.

9:09 am

hurshy

ooh thanks for those ones rbud

9:09 am

rbud

excuse me, I mean se 9 and 10

9:09 am

ChampFit

That just gave me the 9-10...thanks!

9:09 am

hurshy

eh, i saw them right away when you said it despite that lol

9:10 am

ChampFit

Same!

9:10 am

rbud

glad to be of help, albeit clumsily. :D

9:11 am

hurshy

now i just need one more from each S tile

9:24 am

periwinkle

hi all. help with the se9/10 please

9:25 am

MollyL

Sleep nuerotransmitter

9:25 am

periwinkle

hmm

9:26 am

MollyL

Think of the mela_____ that you take for sleep

9:27 am

periwinkle

I was on the right track. but spelling them wrong. ty molly

9:27 am

rbud

"derived from tryptophan"

9:27 am

MollyL

I spelled it wrong at first too

9:28 am

rbud

that always makes me think of naps after Thanksgiving dinner, even though I think I read that it was eventually debunked.

9:29 am

MollyL

It was. The turkey is not what makes people sleepy after Thanksgiving dinner. Now all those carbs, that is another story.

9:32 am

rbud

so true! And that would be just about everything besides the turkey, at least when I cook for that day.

9:49 am

hurshy

i think it doesn't matter what the food is when it is a large quantity, it's the being stuffed that makes you sleepy

9:53 am

hurshy

suddenly i have a wish to see scrabbler

9:53 am

hurshy

idk why, no rabbit or bunny in the grid

9:55 am

hurshy

now what is this no8 that molly thinks nan will complain about

9:56 am

hurshy

it's my last N

10:02 am

hurshy

Os Obliterated!

10:24 am

phantom: menthol

10:27 am

10:37 am

just to expand on flip chat - to7 x 3 and to8

10:39 am

hurshy

2-3-1-1-2

10:39 am

rbud

did you get the no8? there is an or 5. This isn't it.

(tricky clue?)

10:41 am

hurshy

i haven't got it yet, no

10:41 am

hurshy

aha, thanks

10:42 am

hurshy

good clue, just took me a sec because i was expecting it to start "non-"

10:42 am

hurshy

far as i could see, the last 8 hasn't been mentioned

10:43 am

MollyL

The no8 is a weird New Zealand bird.

10:43 am

hurshy

nice

10:44 am

MollyL

8 letter words are aq, le, no and to

10:44 am

hurshy

aha, aq is what wasn't mentioned

10:44 am

hurshy

guess they thought it was too easy or something

10:45 am

hurshy

thanks

10:45 am

MollyL

Sorry Hursh, I was trying to let you find the no8 on your own, but since it got clued, I chimed in.

10:45 am

hurshy

well, i wouldn't have found it!

10:46 am

hurshy

and i am always happy to learn so glad to know what it is

10:48 am

hurshy

how long does it take to play pickleball?

10:50 am

hokie carla

well, I played to 11 today and then showered

10:50 am

10:54 am

penquis

it's the only time anyone gets excited when I enter a room...

10:55 am

MollyL

This is truly an attention-starved group 😊

10:56 am

penquis

hah!...i can go a few days without seeing anyone in person...

10:57 am

MollyL

Trust me when I tell you that you are better off that way

10:58 am

penquis

:oD

11:09 am

hokie carla

why are the L's so hard lately?

11:10 am

penquis

it's a mystery to us all....

11:10 am

hokie carla

phantom tamale

11:12 am

hokie carla

wow, forget the L's, just got to the G

11:12 am

penquis

11:12 am

hokie carla

11:16 am

hokie carla

73 left after first pass. no HOET due to the G.

11:20 am

penquis

11:21 am

hurshy

11:29 am

penquis

11:38 am

hokie carla

11:38 am

penquis

think music...

11:38 am

hokie carla

I can't count, I still needed 4. found one set.

11:39 am

hokie carla

I have the music ones unless there are 4

11:39 am

penquis

ah....then think about emissaries.....

11:40 am

ChampFit

lath

11:40 am

ChampFit

Oh for goodness sake!!! already had it too.

11:41 am

hokie carla

haha

11:41 am

hokie carla

pen making me look up words to find words

11:41 am

ChampFit

There are two le 6/24's and they're very similar.

11:42 am

penquis

do you want another clue?

11:42 am

hokie carla

oh, just reread hurshy's post. I thought she said 7 related, so I have the 5 she actually said.

11:42 am

hokie carla

I have 6 le words, so just need one

11:43 am

penquis

me, too...

11:43 am

hokie carla

and are all 7 from the lower?

11:43 am

penquis

no idea...

11:43 am

ChampFit

The last le I have is from the right. Le5/10

11:44 am

penquis

found it....le 6/27...

11:44 am

hokie carla

that's the last one I have

11:44 am

hokie carla

so why did I ask that question

11:44 am

hokie carla

so which L, pen?

11:45 am

penquis

no idea....i am still missing ten from the right L....

11:45 am

ChampFit

The 5/10 I have is after the 6/27

11:45 am

hokie carla

which L had the LE6/27?

11:45 am

moolingwa

11:48 am

72 Temple Owl

and off for more errands. yesterday's grid was horrid, did not bother to get last 15

11:48 am

hokie carla

I didn't bother with 30+ yesterday. read through the list this morning and was glad I quit.

11:48 am

72 Temple Owl

or maybe it was 12. whatever.

11:50 am

ChampFit

I left some too. Was just done with it at some point and didn't go back.

11:50 am

hokie carla

finally found a G but still only have 7

11:50 am

hokie carla

i.e. less than half.

11:50 am

penquis

i have 8 Gs....

11:50 am

hokie carla

you're rich!

11:50 am

penquis

hah!

11:51 am

hokie carla

phantom gelatin

11:51 am

hokie carla

pen, our club is building padel. have you seen that before?

11:52 am

penquis

padel?...no...

11:52 am

ChampFit

BBL...

11:52 am

hokie carla

bye champ

11:53 am

hokie carla

I think it's similar to tennis and squash, but with paddles more like pickleball but a faster ball than the pickleball.

11:53 am

penquis

oh...paddle tennnis....never played it....have seen it on TV.....

11:53 am

hokie carla

looks like enclosed in plexiglass

11:54 am

penquis

yes...saw it played...seems to combine racquetball and tennis...

11:54 am

hokie carla

apparently it's mexican so, pah-dell

11:55 am

hokie carla

I have never played racquetball or squash, nor do I think I've ever seen squash. I have seen racquetball but don't really know the rules.

11:55 am

penquis

yes, but in the US it is most often called paddle tennis...i think i saw a championship match on tv a year or so ago...

11:55 am

penquis

i have played racketball....not much but a little years ago...the YMCA where I lived had a few courts...

11:55 am

hokie carla

looks like slightly smaller court than doubles tennis and same scoring as tennis

11:56 am

hokie carla

I'm curious to try it

11:56 am

hokie carla

yeah, we had racquetball courts at our YMCA and mr. homie played some but I never did. and my freshman year roommate took it as a class.

11:58 am

hokie carla

found a 6/7 set of G's. now have HOET!

11:58 am

moolingwa

first pass completed...46 to go 5OFOET

11:58 am

penquis

i would have liked that class.. ;o)

11:58 am

hokie carla

still 68 here

11:58 am

hokie carla

I need to eat lunch

11:58 am

penquis

i just read some stuff and paddle tennis is slightly different than padel....

11:59 am

hokie carla

I never could get into any sports classes. tried tennis, bowling, maybe one other that I can't recall.

12:00 pm

moolingwa

I'm not good with sports classes either, though have played a bunch of sports

12:00 pm

penquis

i had to take PE for a few years in college....tennis was always full....took golf, basketball, fencing, field hockey, golf, and tumbling....those are the ones I remember....

12:00 pm

penquis

i really liked fencing....

12:01 pm

hokie carla

everything was full. I tried to force-add bowling but no go. can't rem. if that was freshman or soph year and they pretty much only allowed force-adds for seniors.

12:02 pm

hokie carla

moo, did you go to uni in US?

12:02 pm

penquis

tennis always had seniors...my PE requirement was dropped at the end of my second year, I think....

12:02 pm

moolingwa

no, in Australia...briefly

12:02 pm

moolingwa

didn't finish that

12:02 pm

moolingwa

I actually never finished high school either

12:03 pm

moolingwa

4OFOET

12:03 pm

hokie carla

LOL, so unexpected

12:03 pm

moolingwa

I made it to equivalent of Grade 11...went to uni for one year part time :)

12:05 pm

hokie carla

didn't hold you back from being one of the biggest word nerds around! 😜

12:05 pm

moolingwa

no, school is overrated ;)

12:06 pm

hokie carla

school's for chumps

12:06 pm

penquis

well i couldn't have done my job without scholing...

12:07 pm

moolingwa

my wife is way more educated than I in terms of formal degrees etc

12:07 pm

hokie carla

well I almost didn't get a job even with schooling

12:07 pm

moolingwa

it was a bit tongue in cheek pen

12:07 pm

hokie carla

LOL, yes TIC

12:08 pm

moolingwa

I didn't work for 10 months when I came to the US, then moved to NYC with about $4K left to my name and got about 6 job offers in the first week I was there...so have been fortunate

12:11 pm

moolingwa

well, I have completed my 7s..which is odd

12:11 pm

moolingwa

13-11-4-0-1-1-1

12:12 pm

penquis

go mool...still 52 to go here....

12:12 pm

penquis

but i do have my 9 and 10....;oD

12:13 pm

hokie carla

I graduated, moved to Charlotte, worked temp jobs for about 3 months and then finally found a job. True story, mr. homie had used Accountemps when he moved there and when I went in to see them they said, well we can get you jobs with our other temp company that is for secretaries. Um, so you could find jobs for my husband and his finance degree but not me and my accounting degree.

12:13 pm

moolingwa

sheesh

12:14 pm

penquis

ewwww....

12:14 pm

hokie carla

still makes me mad almost 30 years later

12:14 pm

MollyL

Accountemps gets terrible reviews on Glass Door

12:15 pm

hokie carla

not sure what that is but I'll buy that

12:17 pm

MollyL

It is a job search site like Indeed. Accountemps is a Robert Half company and he's been involved in class action suits by dissatisfied customers.

12:18 pm

hokie carla

they should be called glass ceiling

12:20 pm

MollyL

It used to be a place that you could anonymously review a company. No more anonymous though and they took some shit for that.

12:21 pm

moolingwa

one of the placement places I worked with in NYC that first time tried to basically blackmail me, and I waited until after hours and left them a "go screw yourself" message

12:22 pm

hurshy

how did they try to blackmail you??

12:24 pm

moolingwa

So they had me interview for the back-office of one company and I ended up not wanting to take it...then another agency actually got me an interview with a different part of the org

12:25 pm

moolingwa

the first agency then claimed that they introduced me to that company, so that I had to go through them

12:25 pm

moolingwa

and threatened all sorts of nastiness

12:25 pm

hokie carla

I basically told the guy, look, I didn't go to school to be a secretary, so I will just wait until you can actually find something accounting related. I finally got a long-term temp job at a food company and then they were mad when I got a real job somewhere else. "We thought you were a long-term temp". Does that mean forever? I thought it was temporary. Like I'm a recent college grad not looking for a real job?

12:25 pm

hurshy

weird

12:26 pm

moolingwa

As it was, I had already verbally accepted a different job with Goldman Sachs through them, but Goldman had like a 4 week background check process. I ended up doing another interview after that with this other company and they said "do you want to start tomorrow?" and so it appealed to me more...and I ended up taking it

12:26 pm

moolingwa

There ended up being a bit of a bidding war, which was crazy, but in the end it all worked out

12:27 pm

moolingwa

ah, found the 9 and 10

12:28 pm

bichon

The deer are eating our wildflowers

12:28 pm

moolingwa

I wonder what part of "temporary" they had problems understanding :)

12:29 pm

penquis

bichon....my brother sent me a pick of a deer in his backyard with leaves in its mouth....then he sent me a second pick showing what was left of his hosta plant...not much left....

12:30 pm

penquis

pic, not pick... ;o)

12:30 pm

hokie carla

they haven't found my porch garden yet but the squirrels have of course

12:30 pm

bichon

We stopped planting tomatoes and sunflowers

12:31 pm

I don't get deer here, just the occasional moose and skunk

I think I told y'all I almost hit a deer on the way to the dump yesterday. saw one run down into the road in front of me and slowed down and then a 2nd one came out of nowhere right in front of me.

12:33 pm

moolingwa

oof

12:34 pm

hokie carla

12:34 pm

I mean there are deer around, just not on my street

12:34 pm

hokie carla

I'm still at 68 because I've been making lunch while chatting and not actually looking at the grid. 🤣

12:34 pm

1:20 pm

moolingwa

some of these words are definitely lameth

1:20 pm

periwinkle

help wih no8 please

1:20 pm

moolingwa

7-8-2-0-1

1:21 pm

hokie carla

do you know which N it's from, peri?

1:21 pm

moolingwa

that would be my 8

1:21 pm

BzznBea

peri do you have or5.10? a common babblet

1:21 pm

periwinkle

no

1:21 pm

hokie carla

oh, there's my missing O then.

1:22 pm

periwinkle

now I do Bea

1:22 pm

hokie carla

could've sworn I typed that this morning

1:22 pm

BzznBea

that is the last letters of the word. you know the first two.

1:23 pm

hokie carla

thanks bea

1:23 pm

BzznBea

yw

1:23 pm

hokie carla

oh, I NZ bird, that's funny moo didn't have it

1:23 pm

periwinkle

is there more than one or5/10?

1:23 pm

hokie carla

*a NZ bird

1:23 pm

BzznBea

no

1:24 pm

hokie carla

it reminds me of a word that might describe a night-time bird or animal

1:24 pm

BzznBea

it isnt a non word

1:25 pm

hokie carla

or like the word that kinda means infamous. I believe duran duran sang a song about it.

1:26 pm

periwinkle

I looked up NZ birds but that did not help

1:27 pm

hokie carla

it's literally no + a letter + the or5, so only a few possibilities

1:27 pm

BzznBea

Peri, its from the n in fifth colomn

1:27 pm

periwinkle

got the no8 ty.

1:28 pm

BzznBea

good.

1:28 pm

periwinkle

scrabble dictionary just says flightless bird

1:28 pm

hokie carla

the link here said that but added in NZ

1:28 pm

periwinkle

are these grids getting tougher or is it just me

1:29 pm

hokie carla

not just you. maybe just you and me though. everyone else is doing just fine.

1:29 pm

periwinkle

"hmph"

1:30 pm

periwinkle

I usually finish but sometimes it is tedious

1:30 pm

hokie carla

I commented earlier that I was getting worse

1:30 pm

hokie carla

I left 30 or so yesterday. still have 39 today.

1:31 pm

periwinkle

98 left here

1:31 pm

hokie carla

I tend to do worse in grids with a higher than normal % of 6's or longer

1:32 pm

cybernan

I think they are getting tougher -- so many unusual words and spellings accepted now that I can't be bothered to finish half the time. There are words accepted here that aren't in any of the other word games I play

1:32 pm

periwinkle

thanks nan, I feel better now

1:33 pm

cybernan

have no idea what the 9 or 10 could be in this one

1:34 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

phantom gamete

1:34 pm

hokie carla

but "accepted now" is not really accurate. I know Dr. God started this game with a scrabble dictionary but switched it to enable within the first year. so this is the same word list (with the exception of added spam and I believe stent) as from almost the very beginning.

1:34 pm

hokie carla

I have typed gamet at least 4 times trying to get that to take, gwen.

1:35 pm

periwinkle

me too carla

1:35 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

nbt at last, 113 to go

1:36 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i play three different "electronic" boggles and they all have different word lists inside them

1:36 pm

hokie carla

and nan, I have not seen the 9 or 10 stats mentioned but have seen a couple of people say they got them, so must be somewhat real, right?

1:37 pm

hokie carla

I think serpentine uses a newer version of enable because it's pretty similar to here, dictionary-wise

1:38 pm

periwinkle

se9/10 neurotransmitter

1:38 pm

hokie carla

aha, thanks

1:38 pm

periwinkle

se9/54 and se10/70

1:39 pm

hokie carla

somehow I still need 4 S's there

1:41 pm

hokie carla

lol, just found a regular old s4 that I should have gotten

1:41 pm

periwinkle

bbl

1:42 pm

hokie carla

bye peri

1:45 pm

hokie carla

well, think I will do something else. 33 left now.
4-12-12-3-2

1:48 pm

cybernan

bye carla -- will go through the list then call it quits

1:48 pm

hokie carla

decided to look for my 4s before calling it. found one so far.

1:49 pm

moolingwa

Still have 7 4s...probably could do the same

1:49 pm

moolingwa

there's one

1:50 pm

moolingwa

ah, a 6

1:50 pm

hokie carla

I will take notage

1:50 pm

moolingwa

and another 4

1:51 pm

hokie carla

there's one I definitely thought I typed already

1:51 pm

moolingwa

a 4/5 combo

1:53 pm

moolingwa

10 to go...

1:53 pm

moolingwa

3-5-1-0-1

1:54 pm

moolingwa

oh of course, the takahe

1:54 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

nbt, woot, thanks for clue, someone

1:54 pm

hokie carla

what's that mean

1:54 pm

moolingwa

3-4-1

1:54 pm

moolingwa

the 8 I was missing, is another name for a NZ bird called a takahe (TAH-ka-hay)

1:55 pm

hokie carla

ah, we talked about that just a bit ago. said I was surprised you missed that one

1:55 pm

hokie carla

I saw a tufted titmouse the other day on my porch

1:55 pm

moolingwa

yeah, well I did see the no8 question...I just had to deal with the painting guys

1:56 pm

moolingwa

I miss the tufted titmice...we don't get them here

1:56 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

nbs, i mean, woot

1:56 pm

moolingwa

we don't get cardinals either

1:57 pm

moolingwa

do get black capped chickadees and the occasional mountain chickadees tho

1:57 pm

hokie carla

wow, have never lived in a state without cardinals

1:57 pm

moolingwa

nice gwen

1:57 pm

moolingwa

I know, it's a bit odd

1:57 pm

hokie carla

not sure the state bird of SC, but it is the state bird of NC and VA.

1:57 pm

hokie carla

woot woot, gwen!

1:57 pm

moolingwa

no mockingbirds either, which is also odd

1:58 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

phantom unction

1:58 pm

moolingwa

mockingbird is a popular state bird choice

1:58 pm

hokie carla

there was an interesting white and black large bird when we stayed in Fraser, CO. can't rem. now what it was.

1:58 pm

moolingwa

magpie

1:59 pm

moolingwa

black-billed magpie to be precise

1:59 pm

hokie carla

yes, that's right

1:59 pm

moolingwa

there's also a much more localized yellow-billed magpie, but believe only parts of california for that (or I could be completely off)

2:00 pm

hokie carla

IIRC I read they have funerals
