*hugs rose* hello my darling. Am so grateful the blanket traveled to you without problems. I know the aussie border security is scary.

1:38 am

grannyrose

lol... if one of them had seen it, it would probably have gotten "lost"

1:39 am

sprite

lololol oh that would be bad!

1:40 am

grannyrose

1:41 am

1:43 am

sprite

don't you love the little label? I am so childishly happy with them, lol.

1:44 am

grannyrose

i went to the warm water pool today, and as i said, i dialed back the number of reps on all my exercises. also didn't use anything to increase the resistance.

1:52 am

sprite

Caya sent in all her evidence for finalizing her studies. Next week, she will have the final interview where she will have to defend her portfolio. If all goes well, she is DONE then! She is more than ready to be done, and so am I, honestly. She looks like a raccoon.

1:52 am

sprite

very good, darling. Better some gentle exercise regularly than too much and having to quit again.

1:54 am

grannyrose

wow ! on Caya th4 is. finally done and dusted. well done her!

1:55 am

grannyrose

after the interview of course

1:55 am

sprite

she is amazing. Not just crazy intelligent, but she has staying power and discipline.

2:02 am

sprite

I proofread her portfolio and I was crying half the time, lol. Such honest self reflection and willingness to learn. Beautiful ideals. And the tools to make them become reality.

2:05 am

grannyrose

you must be so proud of her. of course the genes win. both you and Rob shine in the intellectual sweepstakes.

2:06 am

sprite

the poor child got most of the shallow part of the genepool when it comes to the physical. But at least we made up for it in the brain department, lol.

2:13 am

10:49 am

moolingwa

10:50 am

moolingwa

10:50 am

hokie carla

hokie carla

11:27 am

wingding

na 7/40 refers to crude oil or refined petroleum products such as kerosene or diesel fuel just remembered this, i used for lighter fluid for the zippo

hokie carla

11:29 am

wingding

11:46 am

MollyL

Sorry but Sam Cooke is far from obscure

11:51 am

hokie carla

okay, lunch in the oven. decided to fuel up before housecleaning.

11:52 am

hokie carla

I agree, he is not obscure. the guy said "kind of obscure but still well known" which is contradictory for sure. I will say he is the least known to me out of all the other 9. like I would never have thought of his name to guess.

11:53 am

hurshy

hiya folks

11:54 am

MollyL

Almost everybody knows Cupid, You Send Me and Twistin' The Night Away.

11:56 am

Shirlockc

harrison ford and kelly mcgillis dancing in the barn to it in Witness

12:14 pm

hokie carla

12:15 pm

MollyL

It's sad when someone sings a song that gets in the top 40 and people don't even know who sang it.

12:16 pm

hurshy

oh look, that na7/40 word i hate

12:16 pm

hokie carla

well, TBF, hurshy and I weren't alive when it was in the top 40

12:17 pm

hurshy

12:18 pm

hokie carla

molly's usually up on her internet acronyms

12:19 pm

hurshy

there could be confused LURKERS tho

12:19 pm

hurshy

ha! just got the ha7&8 on a total monkey - didn't expect them to work

12:19 pm

hokie carla

surely they could google or come out of lurkdom to complain/ask

12:20 pm

hokie carla

ah, that would be my missing h's then

12:20 pm

hurshy

they could but i just felt like saying it so i did

12:20 pm

hokie carla

do I need a hint?

12:20 pm

hurshy

it's a compound word

12:20 pm

MollyL

I doubt you and Hursh were alive when I Wanna Hold Your Hand was popular, but you know who sings it.

12:21 pm

hokie carla

yes, and that's why sam cooke is more obscure than the beatles

12:22 pm

hokie carla

hmm, is the first part something on your head or am I barking up the wrong tree

12:23 pm

hurshy

you are barking up the wrong tree

12:23 pm

hokie carla

ok, thanks. got it.

12:24 pm

hokie carla

not sure why you'd have ever thought that was a word. 🤣

12:24 pm

hurshy

well i didn't

12:24 pm

hurshy

i didn't expect it to worok

12:24 pm

hurshy

it were a SURPRISE

12:25 pm

hurshy

you have to have open-minded monkeys

12:25 pm

Shirlockc

does it start with opp of soft?

12:25 pm

hurshy

yes

12:26 pm

Shirlockc

i got a 7 with that but not the pair hmmmm

12:26 pm

hurshy

yeah the 7 with no plural is like, ok, you know what they are talking about

12:27 pm

hurshy

you might've thought it was two words but it is a thing you have heard of

12:27 pm

hurshy

whereas this other one, you'd have to be like a geologist or something i guess to know it

12:29 pm

hurshy

have 2 ob4, anyone have all three top O words?

12:29 pm

Gillie

there's an ob5

12:30 pm

hurshy

12:30 pm

12:30 pm

hurshy

zackly

12:31 pm

hurshy

phantom: beige

12:31 pm

Shirlockc

and i just monkeyed that ob5, some wacky words today

12:32 pm

hurshy

how about a missing D? i have dr4

12:32 pm

hokie carla

that's one one I have

12:33 pm

hokie carla

12:45 pm

hokie carla

there's a laundry soap called Fels-Na that it reminds me of

12:45 pm

wingding

shir is that different than the na 7/40 ?

12:45 pm

Shirlockc

that is the one i'm working on, is there more than one na7?

12:46 pm

hokie carla

I'm still missing an N so I don't know

12:46 pm

hokie carla

google fels- and it'll pop up, then you have to add another cons to make it a 7

12:46 pm

wingding

no idea, but, i did clue it earlier

12:49 pm

wingding

you know hokie, you must be close to my age, i now remember that bar soap when i saw the picture in google

1:07 pm

hokie carla

I went through a phase of making my own laundry detergent a few years ago and that was part of it. never saw it before then.

1:25 pm

wingding

was the laundry detergent better than ERA ?? i still use that, unless i can see something better, it's hard to find

1:25 pm

wingding

adding 20 mule team borax to the washer is helpful as well

1:30 pm

hokie carla

never used ERA. but borax was in the recipe for the homemade. here's what I used... https://tinyurl.com/3c28bxh9

Cap. Kelliher, strong woman, is saying that have what they need. Saying the firefighters are getting 12hrs recoup time and moral is up.

1:36 pm

suefrad625

God bless them

Not sure why na7 is a hatable word

1:40 pm

Shirlockc

1:42 pm

periwinkle

1:43 pm

periwinkle

1:44 pm

MollyL

See Carla's comment at 12:46 for na7

1:44 pm

periwinkle

1:44 pm

MollyL

The 8 is a compound. Not soft not pots

1:45 pm

periwinkle

ty Molly. odd word

1:56 pm

KrisE

it's an agricultural term.

2:00 pm

wingding

ty for the recipe carla ... do you still make it ?

2:30 pm

hurshy

na7 is a hatable word because "phth" is icky

2:35 pm

hurshy

oho, flip chat says da7

2:35 pm

BzznBea

HA7 is compacted soil

2:53 pm

hokie carla

I don't mix the detergent still. It was definitely cheaper.

2:53 pm

BzznBea

What does that mean?

2:56 pm

crosshair

Ty for ha8

2:56 pm

BzznBea

Namaste

2:58 pm

hokie carla

bye bea

2:59 pm

hokie carla

you'd have to read down in the chat. I used to make my own laundry detergent by mixing ingredients. it was cheaper than buying detergent.

3:02 pm

crosshair

Here you can still find the Sunlight brand laudry soap bars. I remember my mum using a box grater to make soap shavings for the wringer washer we had at the time.

3:02 pm

crosshair

Same bar was also used if I developed a potty mouth that day as well. :/

3:03 pm

hokie carla

like Ralphie

3:04 pm

crosshair

At least it tasted like lemons. The Irish spring was nasty.

3:05 pm

hokie carla

there's another brand here that starts with a Z. you can buy that in flakes to add to the homemade detergent. the fels-na* you have to grate to add into it.

3:24 pm

hokie carla

ooh, found my missing H from the bottom

3:28 pm

hokie carla

and my upper R

3:29 pm

hokie carla

and a G

3:31 pm

hokie carla

and my S

3:32 pm

hokie carla

and my N. not sure how it took me so long, it was nothing.

3:33 pm

hokie carla

and my last 4. 😭
0-2-3-5 😭

3:35 pm

hokie carla

gonna have to list now

3:41 pm

hokie carla

well that didn't help much. still 6.

3:47 pm

hokie carla

looked them all up and don't feel bad at all because I've only seen 2 of the 6 before

3:48 pm

suefrad625

lol

4:13 pm

cybernan

hello - anyone still here?

4:14 pm

Kaplan the Magne

just started

4:14 pm

periwinkle

hey nan

4:14 pm

Kaplan the Magne

This week has turned into a big nothing.

4:15 pm

cybernan

hi peri. in what way kap?

4:15 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Does anyone thing the Bishop who spoke truth to power was inappropriate? I don't but some members of my family think she should have talked to him in private rather than shame him in public

4:16 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Oh, I didn't go outside because of cold, I have overworked my book, I went to a place to work on it in comfort and it was closed, --it was the Ennui March!

4:17 pm

cybernan

just like he bullies everyone in private? I think she did the right thing, not that it has made any difference. He just ignores criticism and even constructive suggestions no matter what the source.

4:18 pm

periwinkle

I think she did the right thing too

4:19 pm

Kaplan the Magne

He was so visibly bored and rude and shifting in his seat- and Vance and they were all completely disrespectful. What is a point of a prayer service if they can't speak truth to power?

4:20 pm

Kaplan the Magne

If she had done it in private, all the marginalized people would not have heard her validate their lived experience.

4:20 pm

cybernan

true

4:20 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I applaud her.

4:22 pm

Kaplan the Magne

People need to be vocal. People need to call him out for what he is doing. Our Afghan family that we sponsored- the wife is terrified that she and her children will be sent back, or that her children, aged 10 and two(the baby was born here) will be sent back

4:23 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I live in a city with a lot of immigrants and LGBTQ people, and to watch him erase their existence is a horror.

4:24 pm

cybernan

watching him erase women's rights is a horror also.

4:24 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Every time I look at Kamala Harris I see an alternate reality and mourn for what could have been. And Biden should NOT have stayed in the race

4:24 pm

cybernan

lol - just watching him is a horror

4:26 pm

Kaplan the Magne

That face of pure ugliness...He grew up in a wealthy part of Queens, and I know people who lived there and said that the whole neighborhood, Jamaica Estates, NY was panicked about what to do with little Donny who was beating people up

4:28 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Melania knew exactly what was going on--people who say she is an unwilling spouse are wrong. Watching that whole family with their cosmetic surgeries and bland faces was horrid. I didn't watch the whole service- just a you tube of that speech.

4:28 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Tiffany Trump was at UPenn when my daughter was there.

4:30 pm

hurshy

Melania does appear to be unwilling in the sense that she doesn't want physical contact with her husband...

4:31 pm

hurshy

can't blame her for that

4:32 pm

cybernan

still haven't found that na 7 that was discussed earlier in the chat -- any clues please?

4:32 pm

Kaplan the Magne

They had contact during that sermon. she touched his arm or something, and they were whispering. It was hard to see her under that weird hat.

4:33 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Vance's wife is around my daughter's age. This guy is going to be around for a long time.

4:34 pm

Kaplan the Magne

na7? Back to the grid

4:34 pm

hurshy

ok but WHAT IF vance still holds his old evaluation of trump and just took on the VP in order to undermine the administration from within? that'd be a cool plot twist...

4:35 pm

hurshy

not AS cool as my MLK Jr ghost dance-off idea, but still cool

4:36 pm

KnightTime

na7 flammable liquid hydrocarbon mixture

4:37 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Hurshy, you are like me- trying to find some way to alter this reality

4:38 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I did not do well in chemistry

4:38 pm

cybernan

me neither

4:38 pm

KnightTime

neither did I

4:38 pm

cybernan

the def. doesn't help me at all

4:39 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I don't believe you.

4:39 pm

hurshy

i pretty much gave the word away at 2:30

4:39 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Oh, let me go back

4:39 pm

hurshy

and i just discovered that if you remove the N you get another word that counts AND it has a latin plural that counts whereas the N does not.

4:40 pm

Shirlockc

all the things we teach our kids not to do: bully, brag, belittle (look at me with the alliteration) is now serving as the example

4:41 pm

hurshy

it has actually been many years since i accepted the fact that we are not living in a "good" one of the multiverses, kap.

4:43 pm

Kaplan the Magne

There is another planet where all the right things happen. Did you ever watch "The Good Place" by the way?

4:43 pm

hurshy

yes

4:43 pm

Kaplan the Magne

A place full of fro yo stores and the New Yorker arriving every week is actually hell.

4:44 pm

hurshy

well, that wasn't really the main takeaway i got from it, but sure

4:44 pm

Kaplan the Magne

there were a lot of take-aways. The finale was profound.

4:45 pm

hurshy

yes

4:45 pm

cybernan

te 7 please?

4:45 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I get the New Yorker and they never stop coming.

4:46 pm

hurshy

oh nan i am looking for that also, my last word in fact

4:46 pm

cybernan

ag 7 then, please?

4:47 pm

hurshy

if you disturb the water and sediment in a pond you ag7 it, but change the last vowel

4:47 pm

cybernan

I want to shake things up but that ag word isnt there

4:47 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I'm just going for the low hanging fruit. And then I'm watching I Love Lucy.

4:47 pm

hurshy

you are so close nan!

4:47 pm

cybernan

ty hurshy

4:48 pm

cybernan

also need the ap 6-7

4:48 pm

hurshy

guess you missed my comment about cutting the N from na7

4:48 pm

cybernan

that's the one where I remove the n isn't it, but I don't have the na 7

4:48 pm

KnightTime

add an e

4:49 pm

cybernan

no i saw that comment, but I don't have the na 7

4:49 pm

hurshy

but, as i mentioned, i pretty much gave away the NA7 at 2:30 pm

4:51 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I'm so dense that I looked at it and didn't get it

4:53 pm

cybernan

ok - got the na, ty

4:53 pm

KnightTime

if you google the definition I gave it puts the word up

4:53 pm

KnightTime

otherwise I could just spell it out if you prefer

4:54 pm

cybernan

ok - down to that te 7 now

4:55 pm

KnightTime

te7 leathery fore wings of some insects that protect the hind wings

4:58 pm

Kaplan the Magne

OK thanks for the google tip. even then, I had to look at it several times because I kept leaving out one of the hs.

5:00 pm

Kaplan the Magne

OMG- that was google able too! But how do you know the definition before knowing the word?

5:00 pm

KnightTime

i don't but I also don't know how to clue it

5:01 pm

Kaplan the Magne

How did you know to google leathery forwewings of insects?

5:01 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Sorcery!

5:02 pm

Kaplan the Magne

KT don't spell it out. I hate when people do that

5:02 pm

KnightTime

So do I

5:02 pm

KnightTime

but you sounded desparate

5:03 pm

Kaplan the Magne

No, I have long ago stopped being desperate about the grid- I don't play to finish, it's just to see how many I can get on my own.

5:03 pm

MollyL

It has been clued as insect wings since this morning

5:03 pm

KnightTime

right - that's how I originally got it

5:04 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I wasn't here this morning and, just this hour.

5:05 pm

KnightTime

i just open the chat archive and search for clues for the ones I can't get on my own. I rarely play and do not care if I finish or not. I just enjoy seeing the weird words

5:05 pm

cybernan

ty knight

5:06 pm

cybernan

bye everyone - enjoy the rest of your day :)

5:06 pm

KnightTime

leaving - good luck to everyone

5:07 pm

Kaplan the Magne

So somebody knew it and you'd have to go back and read the whole archive.

5:07 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Waste of time.

5:09 pm

suefrad625

Kaplan, yep. nuts.

5:38 pm

MollyL

So you come here and ask for clues, but you aren't willing to read over the chat to see if those clues have been given several times?

5:40 pm

KnightTime

One does not have to read the whole archive. Just search using something like te 7 or na8. Since I can do it, then by definition it is simple.

5:42 pm

KnightTime

Perhaps those wanting clues could post a set of guidelines so that I would know how best to meet their needs.

5:53 pm

MollyL

I have never really gotten asking for clues. To me, and as far as the rules say, it's about finding as many as YOU can find. But that's just me. People can play however they like.

6:45 pm

mkg

Any clues for the 8 welcome. Ty.

6:45 pm
