Certain medications can cause sleep issues

7:18 am

crosshair

The days of laying down and sleeping for eight hours in one chunk are far behind me. I spend the night sleeping like a cat--in half-hour or fourty-five minute chunks. I am no longer ruled by the clock. It is the almighty bladder that rules my sleep now.

8:52 am

8:52 am

hokie carla

9:03 am

hokie carla

but I won't believe you

9:03 am

hokie carla

until I finish first pass

9:05 am

hokie carla

well, grayed the E but the first A causing problems already

9:07 am

hokie carla

okay, grayed the rest of the top row on first look

9:18 am

hurshy

i concur - i tried fish fingers with cu7 for the 50th anniversary and it wasn't terrible. not good but not as bad as, say, sauerkraut

9:21 am

hurshy

well hokie what A do you think i'm missing?

9:22 am

hokie carla

I still need 2

9:22 am

hurshy

no, from the top

9:22 am

hurshy

you said you greyed the top

9:22 am

hokie carla

yes, I said the rest of the top besides the A

9:22 am

hokie carla

so you have more than I do

9:22 am

hurshy

oh, i see. i thought your 9:07 was contraDICTing your 9:05

9:23 am

hurshy

that you had finished it in those 2 mins

9:23 am

hokie carla

no, I moved on

9:23 am

hurshy

9:24 am

hurshy

9:24 am

hokie carla

ah, thanks

9:28 am

hokie carla

C is not coming easily either

9:28 am

hokie carla

nothing new

9:29 am

hokie carla

9:29 am

hurshy

yeah - esp with 38!

9:29 am

hokie carla

yep

9:37 am

hurshy

Ds Demolished!

9:37 am

hokie carla

9:38 am

hokie carla

okay, 4th row not great

9:43 am

hurshy

did you change the U to an O in the cu7/8 we were just talking about

9:45 am

hokie carla

9:45 am

hokie carla

a fourfer!

9:45 am

hurshy

9:45 am

hokie carla

9:48 am

hokie carla

9:54 am

hurshy

Ns Nailed!

9:55 am

hokie carla

I still need 3 + 2 + 1

9:56 am

hurshy

well there is only 1 6 in the bunch, the rest are 4s and 5s. and the 6 is a normal word.

9:56 am

hokie carla

so weird, okay

9:57 am

hokie carla

lol, well I missed a very regular 4

9:58 am

hurshy

fourth row grey!

10:02 am

hurshy

hey hokie i just found out golf can be dangerous

10:02 am

hokie carla

you watched happy gilmore one and two?

10:03 am

hurshy

no - a guy bashed another guy over the head with a putter at a country club in a town near mine

10:03 am

hokie carla

geez

10:04 am

hurshy

they say there's no bad PR but i think that this may be an exception

10:06 am

hokie carla

I just found an article and read it. crazy.

10:07 am

hokie carla

I am watching ryder cup right now. it's crazy how different it is from regular silent golf.

10:08 am

hurshy

oh? more cheering?

10:09 am

hokie carla

yeah, and heckling

10:09 am

hokie carla

it was funny, one of the euros blew a kiss to the crowd after making a putt

10:09 am

hurshy

is that the one that has like celebrities paired with pro golfers or something?

10:09 am

hokie carla

no, it's USA vs Europe team play every two years

10:10 am

Atalante

was he spanish?

10:10 am

hokie carla

I don't remember which one it was, Ata, but I thought Rahm was the only spaniard and it wasn't him.

10:10 am

Atalante

it sounds a spanish-y / italian-y thing to do :D

10:10 am

hokie carla

I see :D

10:11 am

hokie carla

google says Rory did today, but I know what Rory looks like

10:11 am

hokie carla

weird

10:12 am

hokie carla

okay, also robert macintyre, so he's the one I saw

10:13 am

hokie carla

i'm assuming he's a scot

10:13 am

Atalante

yep

10:13 am

hurshy

i'm going to go get groceries, ttfn

10:13 am

hokie carla

byeee

10:16 am

MollyL

Someone lumped Ru in with the ladies? He must be wearing his pretty dress today. : D

10:16 am

Atalante

I am completly blank on sc words today

10:17 am

hokie carla

I am stuck on 41 left so am disputing ruru's claim of easy grid

10:17 am

hokie carla

I have 7 SC words, ata. are there more?

10:18 am

Atalante

4 more!

10:18 am

hokie carla

of course there are

10:18 am

Atalante

:D

10:19 am

hokie carla

oh, just found the controversial uk vs usa bread. thought it was just a phantom.

10:19 am

hokie carla

which is dumb since I had the c4/5

10:22 am

hokie carla

but the other 2 SC words are still a mystery

10:22 am

hokie carla

hold the phone, made up a weird sc5

10:23 am

Atalante

ah I see what you mean by bread. do you call them bread?

10:24 am

hokie carla

no

10:24 am

hokie carla

wasn't sure what else. I would say breakfast pastry.

10:24 am

Atalante

now I want a cream tea

10:25 am

hokie carla

I could go for a sc5

10:25 am

hokie carla

but really not pastry either

10:25 am

hokie carla

I don't know how to classify them

10:26 am

Atalante

according to wiki they are a "baked good"

10:26 am

hokie carla

similar to a sweet biscuit (US, not the UK biscuit which is a cookie to us)

10:26 am

hokie carla

lol, baked good is better

10:26 am

hokie carla

what do you all call what we call a cookie?

10:27 am

hokie carla

lol, I'm losing my mind.

10:28 am

Atalante

biscuit, and then we call cookie what you call a cookie too :D

10:28 am

hokie carla

I just said it, you all call our cookie a biscuit. what I meant was, what do you call what we call a biscuit? do you even have that? is a sc5 the closest?

10:28 am

hokie carla

and what is a digestive?

10:29 am

Atalante

we really don't have your savoury biscuits. I cant think what the comparison is

10:29 am

MollyL

Look up UK sc5 it looks like a biscuit. Their digestives are our graham crackers

10:29 am

hokie carla

too bad, they are delish

10:29 am

Atalante

digestive is a type of biscuit - Digestive biscuits are named for their origin as a medicinal biscuit, created by Scottish doctors in 1839 to aid digestion by including sodium bicarbonate (baking soda). While this belief was later refuted, the term stuck, and the biscuit's wholemeal flour also added fiber, contributing to its reputation for being good for the digestive system.

10:29 am

hokie carla

yeah, I've seen brits try US biscuits and compare them to sc6

10:30 am

Atalante

your graham crackers are more like rich tea biscuits

10:30 am

hokie carla

interesting

10:30 am

MollyL

Our biscuits are not all savory. The basic southern biscuit is just made with plain flour and no seasonings.

10:31 am

Atalante

thats even worse

10:31 am

hokie carla

I watch this english you tuber all the time and americans send him stuff. he was sent a smores kit and he and his mom made them and it sounded like they didn't hvae any graham cracker comparison

10:32 am

Atalante

we definitely don't have anything exactly the same

10:32 am

MollyL

Not sure I get it. The recipe for UK scones and US biscuits is identical.

10:32 am

hokie carla

oh no, ata. southern biscuits are the bomb-diggity. I just can't eat them anymore. am on a quest to find the best GF biscuit recipe. have made some decent ones.

10:33 am

Atalante

I don't mind the biscuits. I am not a fan of the accompanying gravy

10:34 am

hokie carla

I was a picky kid and never liked biscuits and gravy

10:34 am

hokie carla

just buttered biscuit, yum

10:34 am

hokie carla

I don't even like to put jam or jelly on and I generally love sweets

10:35 am

hokie carla

ooh, found all the SC words now. but still have 2 left on that.

10:35 am

Atalante

yay carla!

10:35 am

penquis

hello all....

10:35 am

hokie carla

can only find 5 S on the bottom

10:35 am

hokie carla

pen!

10:35 am

Atalante

hi pen!

10:36 am

penquis

hi Ata...

10:39 am

penquis

carla!

10:39 am

MollyL

Biscuits and honey are a favorite in my place

10:39 am

Atalante

that sounds nice

10:39 am

hokie carla

I don't really like honey.

10:40 am

Atalante

hmmm clue for in5/6?

10:41 am

hokie carla

well, I have the 5 not a 6. will try to think of a clue

10:41 am

Atalante

oh darn was hoping sing and plural

10:41 am

hokie carla

ends like the sing of abaci

10:41 am

penquis

in + ex**** me...didn't mean to do that....

10:41 am

Atalante

amazing ty both!

10:41 am

penquis

drop the last letter for the five...

10:42 am

hokie carla

ah, thanks pen

10:42 am

penquis

yw...

10:43 am

hokie carla

in5 is another ear bone word

10:43 am

hokie carla

or is that the same one from yesterday?

10:43 am

penquis

not the same....the other had a D in it....

10:44 am

penquis

no...not a D...it was a "drop the D" word....

10:44 am

hokie carla

I already forgot what it was

10:44 am

penquis

i may be wrong....but i think the other one was incudes....??

10:44 am

hokie carla

ah yes, correct

10:45 am

hokie carla

one of them is also called anvil

10:45 am

penquis

but the singular is the same for both words, so it is the same bone....

10:45 am

hokie carla

so we have in5, incudes, stapes, anvil

10:45 am

penquis

incudes is the pl of the in 5...

10:45 am

hokie carla

can someone tell me the stats for the bottom N?

10:45 am

Atalante

na6/21

10:46 am

Atalante

you'll be sick that you missed it :D

10:46 am

Atalante

nope not that one

10:46 am

hokie carla

of course, thanks

10:46 am

penquis

the word in the grid is an impression on a coin...

10:46 am

hokie carla

in6 is the coin one, in5 is the ear bone

10:46 am

hokie carla

according to m-w

10:46 am

penquis

yes....

10:47 am

hokie carla

actually na6 grayed my 4th row N

10:47 am

penquis

the N on the bottom is a pl....

10:47 am

hokie carla

oh I see ata retracted it

10:47 am

Atalante

yes, sorry, but glad it was useful anyway!

10:48 am

hokie carla

hurshy said all the N's were 4s and 5s except the one 6

10:48 am

hokie carla

so waht is the 2nd letter, pen?

10:49 am

penquis

an i .....

10:49 am

hokie carla

not the number

10:49 am

penquis

yes...pl....

10:49 am

hokie carla

no, it comes from 4th row

10:50 am

penquis

oh...yes...ni 5 is from the bottom...not the number....

10:51 am

hokie carla

10:51 am

hokie carla

10:51 am

Atalante

10:51 am
