en8...I was ninth and my friend finished t____ + Mr. Gore + sometimes vowel. The definition will scramble your brain.

11:54 am

MollyL

Nope, not Mr. Gore...+ swiss mountain. Sorry

12:10 pm

wingding

\ty molly

2:11 pm

mkg

I am confused. Is there a clue for en 8 50? If so it starts with the number after ninth? I dont see that number in the grid………

2:13 pm

mkg

And i dont know swiss mtns.

2:13 pm

mkg

I got a 7 from that but that one does end with gore name.

2:26 pm

Gillie

Molly was cluing en8/60. en8/50 is the whole of something

2:27 pm

Gillie

en8/60 starts with the number after ninth, minus the first letter. You should know Swiss mountains, but google it if not

2:29 pm

mkg

Ty.

2:29 pm

Enthalps

3:34 pm

hokie carla

I am finally back to reliable wifi and now this won't load on chrome so I had to go to safari.

3:34 pm

ChampFit

What a pain in the butt!

3:35 pm

hokie carla

like everything else is loading on chrome. and this grid loads but then the word list and the chat log both say they're loading.

3:36 pm

hokie carla

and when you try to enter a word the screen flashes and nothing happens

3:36 pm

ChampFit

I'm on chrome and it's fine. so weird

3:37 pm

hokie carla

I'm sure it has something to do with being on bad wifi all weekend. guess I could toss my cookies. I have restarted my computer twice.

3:37 pm

ChampFit

You know that sounds like you're gonna vomit, right? Don't do it!!!!!!!!!!

3:38 pm

hokie carla

LOL, that's why I like to say it that way instead of clear my cookies

3:38 pm

ChampFit

ah-HA!

3:39 pm

hokie carla

are these i's hard to see or is it just me?

3:39 pm

ChampFit

3:54 pm

BzznBea

That's the browser I prefer.

3:54 pm

hokie carla

I had an update and did it but it still didn't work

3:55 pm

hokie carla

any ideas why this website (only) stopped loading in Chrome? I had to switch to Safari.

4:11 pm

moolingwa

looks like it's loading for me on Chrome

4:11 pm

moolingwa

including on my iPad

4:12 pm

hokie carla

yeah, I think it probably has to do with being on intermittent wifi this weekend but I'm back home now and have restarted my computer twice.

4:12 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

wish i knew -- some somewhere got "upgraded" so it no longer works -- that's how everything works LOL

4:12 pm

moolingwa

I assume you cleared the cache

4:13 pm

hokie carla

I have not. I told champ I was waiting to toss my cookies but I guess I'll have to.

4:13 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i have to use Opera for two specific websites . . . argh

4:13 pm

ChampFit

You'll feel better afterwards carla!

4:14 pm

4:15 pm

hokie carla

4:15 pm

BzznBea

4:15 pm

firefly779

4:16 pm

BzznBea

4:16 pm

firefly779

BzznBea

I went to a Quaker memorial service yesterday. It was amazingly simple and lovely.

4:21 pm

hokie carla

interesting

4:22 pm

ChampFit

!!! That reminds me, has anyone seen jmc lately?

4:22 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

was it mostly people not talking? (went to a Quaker wedding once, mostly not talking)

4:23 pm

hokie carla

do modern quakers dress a certain way?

4:23 pm

ChampFit

jmc doesn't, that I can tell.

4:23 pm

BzznBea

They were dressed like we do.

4:24 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

they dress like the rest of us, they're not Mennonite / Amish

4:25 pm

hokie carla

I ask because I was hiking on Sat. and as I was going up, these 2 young women were coming down, basically running. They were in long black dresses with white bonnets and I assumed Mennonite since I was in VA but I guess they could've been Amish.

4:26 pm

hokie carla

also one of them was wearing crocs and the other was barefoot, which is madness!

4:26 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

they could have been Mennonites on vacation

4:27 pm

ChampFit

Barefoot? That's looking for trouble! Ouch!

4:28 pm

BzznBea

The memorial was in the round. They started with service explaining what to expect. Then a granddaughter sang. There were multiple mics and when you had something you wanted to share about the person, you stood and they would bring a mic to you. Then when that person was done, there was a brief silence to comprehend what was said.

4:28 pm

hokie carla

wow

4:29 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

Crocs are not much better than barefoot, for hiking, step on a sharp rock and your foot can feel it

4:30 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

may i ask, was there a casket?

4:30 pm

hokie carla

also, she was running in them and didn't have the back strap on

4:30 pm

BzznBea

They shared letters from those that could not be there. Someone read a poem. Some one read a scripture. A daughter sang .

4:31 pm

hokie carla

how long did it last?

4:31 pm

BzznBea

An hour.

4:31 pm

BzznBea

It was well thought out by the large family.

4:34 pm

BzznBea

They could have gone on and on as Joyce was very benevolent.

4:35 pm

ChampFit

Sounds lovely.

4:35 pm

BzznBea

That is more than I have posted in forever.

4:35 pm

BzznBea

4:58 pm

ch1212

Today I'm feeling very draggy, so I'll stop when I get to a certain point, and then go read a book. I've been doing laundry for most of the day -- more than usual, so I'm giving myself some relax time with you all.

5:00 pm

hokie carla

I definitely need a nap. maybe that will show me new directions.

5:01 pm

hokie carla

found an 8!

5:02 pm

ch1212

impressive! Because I just started, I'm finding loads of smaller words.

5:04 pm

5:04 pm

ch1212

go hokie, go hokie, go!

5:07 pm

ChampFit

FW.. Went to morewords for the last 7ish. Got 2- 8's that I never would've found on my own. Th8/50 and le8/45.

5:08 pm

ch1212

That is why we call you Champ!

5:08 pm

hokie carla

hmm, thanks for the tip and well done.

5:09 pm

ChampFit

Ha! This took forever. Anyone need anything before I scoot?

5:09 pm

hokie carla

unless you want to clue those 8s on your way out

5:10 pm

ChampFit

The th8 starts like the 4/5 before it. Add ur4/5.

5:11 pm

hokie carla

well that's certainly new, thanks

5:11 pm

ch1212

yes, thank you!

5:12 pm

ChampFit

The le 8 is a person with a skin disease that people won't touch, change the second vowel + not yours but m***

5:13 pm

ch1212

Great clue - thanks!

5:13 pm

hokie carla

okay, will play around with that, thanks
