12:26 am

jillibus

shoot, wish I could remember that queer q

12:26 am

Krys10

wow, what a weird word! looks like it's missing important vowel sounds

12:26 am

firefly779

msilver - it's the plural of the ne4 that's a synonym for geek/dweeb/etc.

12:26 am

Krys10

the orange soda clue is good

12:26 am

Krys10

for the Q

12:27 am

Krys10

and it's a monetary unit from saudi arabia

12:28 am

Ankhorite

12:28 am

msilver620

Thx, firely. got it. maybe i will sleep tonight after all

12:28 am

flosey

jilli, it's like the orange soda we have here but the u is the only vowel

12:29 am

msilver620

firefly, what about the ga 7,36

12:29 am

jillibus

yes, got it finally - memory bad

12:29 am

Krys10

one ga7 is plural of red precious stones, one is plural of attics

12:30 am

firefly779

there are two so far msilver - ones a precious stone, reddish, and the other uses the double consonant

12:30 am

Beast

i don't think we get the same orange soda here, at least i can't think of any

12:30 am

jillibus

12:30 am

Krys10

Krys10

the st8 is hard - it's a compound word that refers to a piece of support in a ship's frame

1:30 am

Krys10

well, not hard, i guess, just obscure

1:32 am

sprite

That ST and that ON have me stumped.

1:32 am

Ankhorite

Bleah, I cn't get the ST nor the ON.

1:32 am

Krys10

2:51 am

jaianniah

Oh, Yeah, used the "F" word and all....was very snarky!

2:51 am

Haz1558

Yes, FranMag, you did. I only found out about reading back in the chat log. The babblers were merciless.

2:51 am

jaianniah

add the first vowel to the word before it, rolin

2:52 am

metaleather

2:52 am

FranMag

i loved the swedish chef ml!

2:52 am

rolin

I'm waiting for my hair to dry a little before I blow dry it. And then I'll take the dog for a walk and have to do the whole thing all over again......

5:16 am

metaleather

we should set up some sort of group to swap implements like that, and maybe to arrange to swap ingredients not readily available... like Karo Syrup or the like

5:17 am

metaleather

INGREDIENTS:

* 1 cup honey
* 3 eggs, beaten
* 3 tablespoons butter
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 1 cup chopped pecans
* 1 pinch ground nutmeg
* 1 recipe pastry for a 9 inch single crust pie

DIRECTIONS:

1. In a saucepan bring the honey to a boil. Quickly beat the eggs into the honey. Add butter, vanilla, nuts, and nutmeg. Pour into the pie shell.
2. Bake at 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) for 25 minutes or until set.

5:17 am

The second AR 5/16 is exactly like the word above it, but remove the second vowel.

Maybe the third vowel?

6:14 am

I meant the second vowel in the second syllable, OBVIOUSLY. It was IMPLIED.

Hurshy I was WEBOGGLING last night....lol

11:44 am

torgone

Howdy hurshy!

11:45 am

hurshy

a falconer came with several birds - owls, hawks, falcons, and the sophomores sketched them, and then (what luck!) they brought them up to do the falconry demonstrations right in front of our house, so i opened the windows and my cats got to watch the big birds. it was quite fun for them!

11:45 am

TeaNCrackers

I feel a fool for asking, but i need the 3rd te 4/5. My goal is all the four letter word, then off to shower and run errands. Thanks!!

11:45 am

hurshy

yes, fun with pinky. good flask weboggling :). hello and *kiss* torgone.

11:45 am

caitlyn

Wow hurshy I bet that was fun

11:46 am

tea, see to the care of

11:46 am

Flask1

Sounds wonderful Hurshy!!

11:46 am

lmj643

oops, that's the second one. third one is a te** of college

11:46 am

hurshy

and the boys saw the cats watching so at the end they were asking if a hawk or eagle or whatever would prey on a cat, and the guy said they wouldn't, and if they did, they'd have to pay a price for that meal, cause cats are athletic and have sharp claws. and we were like, hehehehe

11:47 am

hurshy

i told marty, see, i always told you you were fierce and ferocious!

11:47 am

TeaNCrackers

oy - slap me with a fish - thanks!

11:48 am

torgone

I was about to ask if they were watching with trepidation or hunger ..

11:48 am

hurshy

fascination, i think, tor. they've never seen birds that big before.

11:48 am

phandmd

ma 5/18 & 6 pair pls

11:49 am

hurshy

and of course, my cats are very domesticated. they have killed small animals before (mice used to get into our old house) but they didn't even know to eat them after they killed them!

11:49 am

TeaNCrackers

got all the 4's - off to run errands

11:49 am

hurshy

not actually a pair, phan. the 5/18 is a singular of the 4 (wise men) and the six looks french.

11:49 am

lmj643

later, tea

11:52 am

hurshy

it's so funny, i'm not one of those people that really treats pets like children overall, and like i think it is ridiculous when people dress their pets and stuff like that, but when it comes to "educational opportunities" i do treat my cats like kids. i'm like, look, kitties, isn't that interesting? and i feel so happy that they had the opportunity to see these big birds!

11:53 am

Nef

Hi Hurshy and All. Hurshy, are you trying to scare the kitties off of watching birds? (just read your last post here)

11:54 am

Where do you live that this show was right there? By a garden or zoo?

11:57 am

Nef

HI Caitlyn

11:57 am

hurshy

no, i live at a boarding school, and the falconers were brought in to give a demonstration to the sophomore class.

11:58 am

hurshy

my husband teaches mostly sophomores and our house is attached to the sophomore dorm.

11:58 am

shorty

hurshy Is this a boarding school for bad kids or rich kids?

11:59 am

Nef

Wow! Sounds like quite an interesting job and place!

11:59 am

hurshy

shorty... neither, really. we have some rich kids, of course... but we also give some financial aid... and we occasionally get bad kids... but they are mostly nice.

12:00 pm

shorty

oh Ok the reason I ask is because my 15 yr old nephew is being verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry bad and needs to be sent somewhere to teach him respect

12:00 pm

hurshy

lol

12:01 pm

Nef

<shorty, I'm thinking Hurshy says don't sent him HER way!>

12:01 pm

shorty

and she will send him WHEREEVER!

12:01 pm

shorty

LOL

12:01 pm

hurshy

well, i don't know what you mean by very bad, but there are places - my friend priscilla works at one - that are state run for kids who really can't be at home for whatever reason

12:03 pm

shorty

he is just being very direspectful to his parents and thinks hes the boss of him and he dont have to listen to them

12:03 pm

hurshy

um... shorty... i think that's called being a teenager :)

12:04 pm

caitlyn

Prhaps its just a stage he is going through shorty

12:04 pm

hurshy

i was picturing drugs, violent behavior...

12:04 pm

shorty

yeah but his worse trust me Ive had 6 and none have been like this

12:05 pm

i'm trying to remember the name of the one a kid from here went to... i'll ask my husband and let you know, he'll remember

12:08 pm

shorty

ok thank you

12:08 pm

Ankhorite

It's a shame, Shorty, that he chooses something as meritless as color to make him feel superior to others. Doesn't he have anything legit to be proud of?

12:09 pm

Ankhorite

I mean, other than the ability to get a four-star sunburn? :) I don't mean to be harsh.

12:09 pm

hurshy

meanwhile, make him watch star trek episode #70, "let that be your last battlefield". it shows how ridiculous racism is.

12:09 pm

caitlyn

klaurel why did you lose half of your garage?

12:10 pm

shorty

I really dont think so Ank he has hatered inside of him and I've talked to him about it but.......well you know how that goes

12:10 pm

shorty

Oh hurshy i will do that

12:11 pm

klaurel

Popcorn! :) Scouts are selling popcorn and my garage became central depot

12:11 pm

Ankhorite

Excellent episode, Hursh! yeah, shorty... I'm sorry. I just have noticed that particular nastiness in kids who are looking to bond with other boys, and the whole batch of nothing to be sure of and nothing to be proud of, so they pick that... which makes their parents nuts, of course, besides being shameful on its own.

12:11 pm

hurshy

(that's torgone resisting his impish impulses)

12:11 pm

Ankhorite

I wish you the best with him, and hope he grows out of it quickly.

thanks ankhorite

12:13 pm

Ankhorite

Not much... just hope he finds something he's good at through his own effort, something legit to be proud of and bond with other kids about. Anyway, I admire your stamina! :)

12:14 pm

Ankhorite

YW, Zero... gotta leave for a bit, brb

12:14 pm

hurshy

yeah, red cliff. here is their website: http://www.redcliffascent.com/

12:17 pm

shorty

yes, I see that, I am at the website now.

12:18 pm

hurshy

best of luck, i hope you and his parents can find something that will help!
