Jacula

you can follow le4/7 with two other words, a 6 and a 7 that no one has ever used, but the dictionary thinks they do.

2:54 am

Thanks jacula, I was playing on my phone which I never normally do, and brain not really on what I was doing.

all those ff's reminds me of a joke. School goes on a farm trip. Next day the teacher says write down your favourire think. She calls a little boy up and says why did you write that> He had written 'we saw the f%&**!* cows. She said I'm sure the lady didnt say that? The little boy said no she called them 'eiffers but I knew what she meant.

And a big old drooling dog.

11:58 am

BzznBea

the fl8 is a maker of arrows

11:59 am

BzznBea

Or the name of a prune based laxative that was once given to young children.

12:01 pm

BzznBea

How do I know that you might ask? I was one of those children...Not that I ever needed a laxative but my mom thought it was the cure all for anything from too much candy to the common cold.

12:03 pm

BzznBea

And if you were given Fl* Castoria when you had a cold, you didn't dare cough...

12:03 pm

bichon

lol Bea, but didn't have that experience in childhood. But, before I gave birth, I did [despite prune juice]

12:05 pm

BzznBea

I'm so glad women now do not need a laxative before birth.

12:06 pm

bichon

I was extremely constipated due to iron in the prenatal pills

The idea behind is right. Nothing slows labor is a full rectum

went to the climate strike protest near me today

6:08 pm

hurshy

good but definitely tiring

6:09 pm

sukee

Good for you

6:09 pm

Trifioso

good for you! We all should be doing that

6:09 pm

sukee

They didn't have one here.

6:10 pm

hurshy

we needed like 35 times as many people to hit 3.5% of the population, which is what i saw a researcher say in a TED talk was the amount it takes to bring about change

6:11 pm

Trifioso

its a start though, hurshy. I believe in starts. We can't just do nothing (like my government)

6:12 pm

sukee

Yes, the people have to force the governments to act if they are not.

6:12 pm

hurshy

i'm in the US too trif - i just have a love for the cultures of england, scotland, wales, and ireland

6:12 pm

Trifioso

did you hear what our disgrace in chief said today?

6:13 pm

sukee

Doesn't he say something stupid every day?

6:13 pm

hurshy

nah, i try not to get distracted from bigger, longer-term things by him

6:13 pm

Trifioso

"My crimes can't be investigated while I am president!" Excuse, me, what was that again, mr trump???

6:13 pm

sukee

LOL, so, he admits crimes? I can't wait to see how they spin that around tomorrow.

6:13 pm

hurshy

one of the things we chanted was funny for me for two related reasons

6:14 pm

Trifioso

do tell hurshy!

6:14 pm

hurshy

"what do we want?" chants with a few different answers

6:14 pm

Trifioso

excellent

6:15 pm

hurshy

well, that in itself reminds me of one of my favorite memes "what do we want?" "time travel" "when do we want it?" "it's irrelevant!"

6:15 pm

sukee

lol

6:15 pm

Trifioso

the last march I was at someone had a brilliant sign: "What do we want? Evidence-based science! When do we want it? After peer review!"

6:16 pm

hurshy

the answers we used were "climate justice" "green new deal" and "a livable future" - that last one was the other funny thing, because, "when do we want it?" "now!" is funny, because we can't have THE FUTURE.. NOW.

6:16 pm

Trifioso

lol - true enough!

6:17 pm

sukee

You should listen to this. It brought me to tears. https://youtu.be/y6Wz3i_BYUc

6:18 pm

Trifioso

ohhhh I LOVE patti smith!

6:19 pm

sukee

She is amazing.

6:19 pm

hurshy

anyone else here mourning Grandpa Mason

6:19 pm

sukee

Aww, I hadn't heard yet.

6:20 pm

sukee

He did live longer than expected didn't he?

6:20 pm

hurshy

much longer, yes

6:20 pm

hurshy

almost 3 years instead of like 3 months

6:20 pm

sukee

The kittens will miss him.

6:21 pm

hurshy

i find it pretty amazing that thousands of people from all over the place are crying over a feral cat who never did take to humans

6:23 pm

sukee

Same when Boo the dog dies. We get attached to those Facebook kitties :)

6:24 pm

sukee

I'll have to go to the Tiny Kittens page later.

7:07 pm

Lizlin

I used Jabberwocky as a basis for kids to write their own poems once - great results.

7:08 pm

hurshy

i use it to show kids that you don't have to know what every word mean in order to identify the part of speech of words. you can see what must be a noun, verb, or adjective based on the structure.

7:09 pm

hurshy

it's a fun grammar exercise

7:09 pm

Lizlin

Good fun. Less fun than getting them to write nonsense poems though!

7:09 pm

Lizlin

Following grammatical structure, of course!

7:10 pm

hurshy

i had some students who were super reluctant when it came to creativity

7:10 pm

hurshy

they would just freeze up and write nothing

7:11 pm

Lizlin

But giving them the chance to write nonsense - I paired the class up with each other.

7:12 pm

Lizlin

un 6/30! Really! A plural - weird.

7:12 pm

hurshy

we wrote new year's poems last year, and this one girl was so convinced she could not write poetry, she just sat there saying she couldn't do it for the longest time. but when she finally pushed through that she actually did better than most of the other kids. go figure

7:13 pm

hurshy

it's not a plural, it's a verb tense :)

7:13 pm

hurshy

she reads a book

7:13 pm

hurshy

this flaw un6 you for military service

7:13 pm

Lizlin

All down to confidence and safe environment! I also always hated writing poetry.

7:13 pm

Lizlin

I've never come across that usage.

7:16 pm

Lizlin

ce 6/24 pls

7:16 pm

hurshy

i'll look

7:18 pm

hurshy

ok

7:18 pm

it resembles words that derive from Julius and Augustus .....

7:19 pm

sort of

7:19 pm

Lizlin

Thanks. I gave up on it and just used morewords as you posted that. New word for me.

7:19 pm

Lizlin

Your clue definitely would've helped though.

7:20 pm

hurshy

we've had it in grids in the past, i think

7:20 pm

hurshy

well that's good to know, lol

7:20 pm

Probably but I guess I just can't remember all the weird ones!
