3:05 pm
moolingwa
a phantom cleric, with phantom celiacs disease
3:07 pm
hokie carla
yes, celiac is a phantom for me too. btw, got served a sandwich on regular focaccia today and asked the waitress if she was sure it was gf because it looked too good. She nodded her head yes and then while I was chewing the first bite the manager came out and was just standing there looking at my plate.
3:07 pm
moolingwa
oh, that sounds ominous
3:08 pm
hokie carla
I said with full mouth "no swallow?" and he was like, yeah, don't. So then I just had to spit it out on my plate.
3:08 pm
hokie carla
feeling okay still, will see what happens later
3:08 pm

hopefully got it in time

3:14 pm
welki
egads - i hope the server received an education on what might have happened if the manager hadn't been standing there
3:16 pm
hokie carla
yeah, she seemed kind of dim, but she must've asked him when she went back in since he came out
3:17 pm
moolingwa
she should certainly be commended for confirming
3:17 pm
welki
fer f's sakes - what about cross-contamination?
3:17 pm
moolingwa
but perhaps guided on her first response
3:18 pm
welki
should be guided all right, along with the bonehead who trained her
3:18 pm
moolingwa
well serving staff normally are amongst the lowest paid jobs
3:19 pm
moolingwa
and unfortunately most people probably don't even know what celiacs is
3:19 pm
hokie carla
yeah, I don't know if she wrote down the order out of order or if they put it on the tray wrong
3:19 pm
moolingwa
I remember going to restaurants with a friend of mine who had celiacs...and he'd constantly have to go through many questions with servers
3:19 pm
welki
i know - it was my go-to job through school and when the kids were small. lowest paying wage, but not lowest paying, really
3:19 pm
moolingwa
particularly with sauces etc
3:20 pm
hokie carla
there were 4 of us at a round table and mine was swapped with the lady next to me. hers was a chipotle chicken sand and mine was a tuscan chicken sand, so not super obvious.
3:20 pm
welki
(but still no excuse to be lackadaisical about peoples' lives)
3:20 pm
hokie carla
which is why I asked
3:22 pm
moolingwa
I am inclined to give people a little grace, mistakes happen all the time
3:22 pm
hokie carla
yes, it is a pain to go out to eat, moo. so many questions to ask. I started asking about the different french fries and how they were prepared and she seemed a little clueless so just went with the fruit.
3:23 pm
moolingwa
yeah, certainly saw that...most places don't appear to educate their servers to that detail
3:24 pm
hokie carla
one of the hostesses at our golf club has celiac so if she's there I ask her everything
3:24 pm
hokie carla
that's very handy
3:25 pm
welki
true, moo, mistakes happen all the time. just glad this one didn't make our hokie severely ill.
3:26 pm
moolingwa
very glad of that for sure
3:26 pm

hurshy
oh man, should have tried that
6:33 pm
hurshy
are there other "kinda ending" words in the grid? i don't think i've found any, maybe that accounts for some of my missing 7s
6:34 pm
hokie carla
I don't think so. I sure tried a lot.
6:35 pm
hokie carla
just scrolled through and didn't see any
6:35 pm

8:44 pm
moolingwa
found the ci8...yoiks
8:44 pm
moolingwa
these words
8:45 pm
hokie carla
maybe a sh5 for the upper just because I haven't guessed a 5
8:46 pm
hokie carla
oh, actually I bet you don't have cu5 from bottom
8:59 pm
moolingwa
yeah, was missing that
9:00 pm
moolingwa
so now 0-0-1-1-1
C S S
9:01 pm
moolingwa
and the 8 is that sc
9:04 pm
hokie carla
there are 2
9:04 pm
moolingwa
I have 2 of those, so assuming there's a 3rd
9:05 pm
moolingwa
oh one cr7 is off the bottom
9:05 pm
hokie carla
and you found the ci6 earlier
9:06 pm
moolingwa
yeah, have a ci6 off the lower c....need one off the top c
9:06 pm
moolingwa
yeah, that was it...tx
9:06 pm
moolingwa
so s6 and sc8
9:06 pm
hokie carla
so the upper S is a 6
9:08 pm
hokie carla
apparently the sc8 is a legal term
9:08 pm
hokie carla
maybe se6 that's a regular word but rarely seen here
9:09 pm
moolingwa
yeah that would be it
9:11 pm
moolingwa
nice clue
9:13 pm
hokie carla
if you drop the s there's a similar c word, or if you drop the c there's a similar s word
9:19 pm
moolingwa
I think I know what you mean
9:19 pm
moolingwa
not seeing it tho
9:21 pm
moolingwa
oh well, wasted enough time on this
9:22 pm
hokie carla
yeah, I had to look it up
9:24 pm
hokie carla
maybe pesky head bugs with almost back pain?
9:28 pm
moolingwa
it's okay...I'm going to go do some life
9:31 pm
moolingwa
