any clues for the he6?

1:11 am

juniperberet

Someone's prime, or youth.

1:12 am

pigeonman

Thank. I tried that with an A

1:13 am

juniperberet

I was surprised it took it, too.

1:23 am

sprite

good morning all

1:26 am

rbud

*waves* hiya!

1:26 am

sprite

hiya rbud :) *hug* How are you doing?

1:27 am

rbud

Pretty well. Been making more progress on my loooong-running "new" kitchen project.

1:27 am

sprite

awesome!

1:32 am

rbud

some days I just don't have the energy or breath to do a lot, but there are more days when I do get things done. It helped that the hot temps slacked off a bit the last week.

1:33 am

sprite

hot and humid weather is so draining. And yeah, some days the energy just is not there. It is great that the low days are outnumbered by the better ones :)

1:33 am

rbud

how are you doing?

1:34 am

Lizlin

Hi all and hugs, Sprite

1:35 am

sprite

*hugs Liz* Lovely to see you. I hope you and your beloved are doing well?

1:36 am

Lizlin

We're fine - as ever, thankfully. How are you coping the European heatwave?

1:36 am

sprite

I am okay. Weather here has been draining too, yesterday was better though. It seems my ankles do not like the hot weather at all, haven't been able to walk.

1:36 am

Lizlin

That's miserable.

1:36 am

sprite

great to hear you both are well :)

1:37 am

sprite

yeah, not a picnic. Hopefully we are done with the heatwaves now :D

1:38 am

Lizlin

Hope so for you.

1:38 am

Lizlin

It'd be so much easier if it was the norm in the UK and Europe to have A/C. Similar to us not having central heating, I guess - but the opposite way round.

1:40 am

sprite

yes exactly. It is only a couple of weeks a year, not something to invest heavily in. In our house, we could manage. In the trailer, not so much. It is just like an oven, lol. But we escaped to the canoe clubhouse.

1:40 am

Lizlin

At least you had somewhere to escape to.

1:41 am

sprite

yes that was a blessing. We installed ourselves with router, computers and of course Terra.

1:42 am

Lizlin

Dogs find it very hard in such hot weather.

1:43 am

Lizlin

Time for me to be out of here. Hugs and i hope it stays cooler for you.

1:43 am

sprite

have a lovely evening, Liz *hug*

1:48 am

sprite

can't blame the dogs... imagine having to survive such weather wearing a fur coat.

1:51 am

dofith

Hey sprite, have you heard from Rose yet? Is she ok? Are YOU ok??

1:52 am

sprite

hi Dofith! I am okay, all things considered. Rose is not in a happy place atm, am trying to reach out to her but the distance is not helping. How are you doing?

1:57 am

dofith

I'm fine, thanks. Have been pitying you all in your heatwave, for which most of you (Europeans in general) are so totally unprepared - a once-in -a-decade event, if that. Rose will respond eventually, I'm sure. I read the chog; saw it as nothing more than a discussion between friends, nothing to get one's knickers in a twist about. Hopefully, when she emerges from her dark place, she will see that as well. xx

1:59 am

sprite

good to hear you are fine :D
Yeah, we are not really used to heat here, it is true. Good thing it doesn't happen that often.
I know... disagreeing among friends should not be a biggie, but sometimes, it happens anyway. I hope things will work out.

2:01 am

dofith

They will - you have too strong a friendship for them not to. Take care.

2:01 am

sprite

you too, and thanks

2:02 am

sprite

fireflies. Off to chores. Have a blessed day and a peaceful night, all.
*leaves hug in chog for rose to find*

rubyfoo

Bonjour!

2:32 am

rbud

hi, ruby, how goes it?

2:59 am

rbud

welp, down to 13 left with no lickety, might be time, as I've ground to a halt.

3:13 am

rbud

okay, I really should have known 11 of those 13, but I don't feel bad about my last two - wh 6/45 - how is that even a word, haha! Or the very last one - yu 4/7. Laters, all!

3:55 am

rubyfoo

Hi, rbud (if you're still here)

3:56 am

rubyfoo

People are constantly in and out: doctors, nurses, friends, housekeepers.

3:58 am

rubyfoo

It's great to be so well-cared-for but I still have a lot of pain and they haven't yet found the correct combination of oxy etc to control it

3:58 am

ChrissieDee

Glad you're not totally alone Ruby. Hope they're keeping your pain manageable

3:59 am

rubyfoo

But it's Sunny and cool, really beautiful and I'm wrapped in two "coucch blankets".

3:59 am

ChrissieDee

Looks like i got my answer before I'd finished typing, lol

4:00 am

rubyfoo

I'm very Lucky to be in France as the system is terrific.

4:50 am

MollyL

Okay, wh6/45 has to be one of the dumbest looking words I've ever seen

4:54 am

saanichcat

totally agree Molly, way worse than most

4:55 am

MollyL

Sometimes I think the Enable Word List makers scoured the dictionary for the most bizarre words they could find, just to make their word list "unique".

4:56 am

saanichcat

so "unique" as to be impossible words

6:47 am

mattygroves

Afternoon all! Does anyone have stats, please, for the T in the second row, third column?

Huh. Merriam-Webster defines wh6 as consisting of, or containing wh4. So i guess cottage cheese is wh6.

7:35 am

bichon

Costco has frozen mago chunks

7:35 am

MLFAN17

dc just don't combine any of them in an ice cream

7:36 am

dcseain

we're working on using up stuff in the freezer due to long neglect, especially in the drawer.

7:36 am

dcseain

But mixed berry is delicious!

7:37 am

dcseain

oh, good to know re Costco, Bichon. I've not explored the frozen section yet.

7:37 am

MLFAN17

7:47 am

MLFAN17

They have been lately that's for sure

7:47 am

bichon

At least the heat and humidity drop down in Sept

7:47 am

hokie carla

I usually get really cold during the day inside and look forward to going into the garage at some point. But I hate doing activities outside.

bichon

It's nice in the basement with the dehumidifyer on

7:49 am

Scrabbler

Yes, bichon.

7:49 am

dcseain

the basement here is right cold year-round. We sit under afghans and blankets.

7:49 am

hokie carla

when I was a kid in Va we didn't have AC, so we spent a lot of time in the basement. it was unfinished but we had a pool table and a couch & tv.

7:49 am

MLFAN17

hokie I am sitting here with a jacket on part of a sweat suit hubby used to have. I am usually cold inside even if A/c isn't running. I don't like outdoor activities unless its eating or shopping .. If we could do other things that would make me happy

7:50 am

dcseain

yeah, we got AC when i was 14.

7:50 am

hokie carla

yeah, I usually have to dress warmly for inside

7:50 am

hokie carla

we loved it when the bookmobile came by because it was air conditioned!

7:51 am

MLFAN17

bookmobile?

7:51 am

Scrabbler

Nice, Carla.

7:51 am

bichon

ceiling fans help a lot

7:51 am

MLFAN17

I do get hot inside with the jacket but I know as soon as I take it off

7:52 am

hokie carla

yeah, the county library had a bus they would take around the county and you could check books out

7:52 am

Scrabbler

The 7 = wh7.

7:52 am

MLFAN17

that is so cool. I don't remember that growing up?

7:53 am

MLFAN17

hokie have you been back to Va in the past few yrs?

7:54 am

hokie carla

I think bookmobiles were more common in Appalachia

7:55 am

MLFAN17

7:55 am

hokie carla

my parents still live in the same house I grew up in, so I go back when I can

7:55 am

7:58 am

Scrabbler

The library bookmobile is active around here. There is no library in the nearby town.

8:01 am

The bookmobiles where i live go to nursing homes and senior centers mostly.

8:02 am

hokie carla

8:03 am

hokie carla

I got my dad a kindle a few years ago and that has been huge. He's a big reader and can't get around anymore.

8:03 am

Scrabbler

Good for you.

8:05 am

hokie carla

I actually got him a newer version after and made him a user's manual with step by step instructions on what to do and he would forget every time and call me.

8:05 am

MLFAN17

hokie that is really nice for him to have something like that

8:06 am

MLFAN17

9:00 am

hokie carla

he6 and wh6. I saw someone talking about wh6 and I can't get anything to work like I thought they were saying.

9:01 am

hokie carla

nm, found that

9:01 am

dcseain

wh6 is an adjective

9:01 am

hokie carla

certainly strange

9:04 am

hokie carla

well, looked up the he6 for fireworks. I knew what the first 3 letters had to be but wasn't expecting that spelling.

9:06 am

dcseain

thanks for that he6, carla, and well done

9:08 am

hokie carla

well, I'm glad you got it from that meager non-clue

9:09 am

dcseain

the unexpected spelling was very helpful

9:17 am

hokie carla

well, I am here on and off if you need more :D

9:32 am

cybernan

good morning everyone :)

9:32 am

dcseain

9:47 am

penquis

9:48 am

dcseain

he6 is a weird spelling of the word. In her he6, she was great.

9:48 am

hokie carla

he6 - common interjection or greeting + Susan (oldest sister on Partridge Family later on LA Law)
