12:21 am

justafreep

I do what I can

12:21 am

Gillie

Oh - all of them now

12:21 am

Gillie

I guess the Rs are easy in this grid

12:22 am

justafreep

Seems that way

12:22 am

justafreep

(in some relative sense, anyway)

Were you one of the fraggle rocks?

9:50 am

not sure what fraggle rocks are?

9:51 am

hokie carla

it was an HBO show in the 80s

9:51 am

BzznBea

For kids

9:51 am

rururocks

oh..I never watched kid stuff

9:51 am

doseffing

... it was an old CBC programme .... something like a copy of the Muppets

9:52 am

hokie carla

I never saw it because we couldn't afford HBO but my friends at school watched it

9:52 am

rururocks

i gave up on HBO.. too expensive

9:52 am

welki

guess you can't be hotsy without being totsy - 'morning, babblers

9:52 am

rururocks

I can see Bill Maher on youtube for free

9:53 am

rururocks

I was thinking you can't be feely without touchy either welki

9:53 am

hokie carla

you were probably too old when fraggle rock came out

9:53 am

hokie carla

welki!

9:53 am

penquis

hi welki...

9:54 am

welki

nah, he wasn't. now i see marjorie the trash heap in my head :D

9:54 am

rururocks

are you age-shaming me hokie?

9:54 am

hokie carla

and btw, it was jim henson so they looked exactly like muppets

9:54 am

hurshy

the fraggles also appear in "A Muppet Family Christmas", one of my favorite holiday specials

9:54 am

hokie carla

if the shoe fits...

9:55 am

hurshy

and Jim Henson made a cameo as himself at the end of it

9:57 am

hurshy

did i mention the actress who played the general's granddaughter from White Christmas died this year, so i guess that probably means that entire cast is dead, other than possibly some of the kid extras from the very last scene.

9:58 am

rururocks

Marjorie the trash heap?

9:59 am

rururocks

Do you mean our congressperson from Georgia welki?

9:59 am

hurshy

aHA i thought of the pangram at last

9:59 am

welki

https://tinyurl.com/bpnnww77

10:00 am

hurshy

10:01 am

welki

10:05 am

hurshy

did you get "a load of ho5/16" and a word that is a cheer

10:05 am

penquis

all my H words are kinda ordinary...

10:06 am

hokie carla

thanks, that gave me 4

10:06 am

hurshy

and an ho5/16 that describes an owl

10:06 am

hurshy

and that babblet 5 that is like a Derby animal but the last letter is a cons instead? that has 2 6s with it also

10:06 am

hokie carla

that's from the bottom H. still on the 3rd row here.

10:07 am

hurshy

oh i guess the owl one is from the bottom but the derby ones are not

10:07 am

penquis

place to stay...two different ones....

10:07 am

hokie carla

10:11 am

hokie carla

I play it and this every day and then all the others I used to do daily I just fit in if there's time

10:11 am

hokie carla

kinda underwater snaky, crossy

10:11 am

hokie carla

no, that's not it

10:11 am

hokie carla

past tense of consumed

10:12 am

hokie carla

but not ate

10:12 am

hokie carla

so maybe not past tense exactly

10:12 am

crosshair

Ty, hokie. :)

10:12 am

penquis

i don't play wordle anymore...but I do the Bee and Strands....

10:12 am

10:12 am

hokie carla

I hate strands

10:12 am

penquis

10:13 am

hokie carla

I will occasionally do the bee and connections - which used to be my fave, but now I play very rarely

10:13 am

penquis

I do wordle, connections and sometimes the bee. Always the crossword.

10:14 am

crosshair

10:14 am

penquis

i do the crossword, too... do too many, lol....

10:14 am

hokie carla

yeah, I always do the mini crossword and do the big one on certain days

10:15 am

penquis

my cheap subscription to the Times expired....so I cancelled... a few hours later I got an email offer of the cheap rate for full access, so I signed up again....guess they want some of my money if they can't get it all....

10:16 am

hokie carla

yep, always try to get a better rate in subs like that (I worked for a mag company)

10:17 am

penquis
