Morning all. Will I need to hit myself with wet fish if I ask for stats for the lone O in the top row?

4:27 am

rubyfoo

DESERT RESTING PLACE

4:28 am

mattygroves

A mild slap, I feel, due to the number of vowels in that word. Thank you.

4:28 am

rubyfoo

sorry for shouting and hello

4:28 am

rubyfoo

It was left over from previous e-mails sent this AM

4:28 am

mattygroves

Howdy! How are things in France? It's sunny here, which is nice. Of course, I'm at work, so can't take full advantage of the sunshine

4:30 am

rubyfoo

Rainy but surprisingly mild, 15C or so, unseasonable for Jan but I'm not complaining, just worried for the world

4:30 am

rubyfoo

and no snow thus far

4:30 am

mattygroves

You and me both. I'm not looking forward to Brexit day, for a start

4:32 am

rubyfoo

Will there becelebrations or mass despair?

4:33 am

JaxH66

Could I have the stats for the lone e at the bottom of the second column please?

4:35 am

rubyfoo

I just looked at your profile and you greatly resemble an actress, I think Penelope Something, whose name escapes me maybe Wilton?

mattygroves

Really? When I was a kid, people told me a look like the girl from the Exorcist. I wanted to spit pea soup on those people :)

4:56 am

rubyfoo

hahah, but do you know Penelope Wilton? She's been in many English films, usually a Wise and calm character with a twinkle in her eyes

4:59 am

MollyL

Wow Matty, I'm not seeing the Linda Blair thing at all. But Ruby is right, you do look a little like Penelope Wilton.

5:42 am

mattygroves

I was compared to Linda Blair when I was a young teen. I've aged since then :)

5:42 am

mattygroves

I do know Penelope Wilton. I think I'm a bit younger, though.

5:42 am

mattygroves

She's 73!

5:44 am

MollyL

I'm guessing Ruby meant in Wilton's younger days

5:49 am

mattygroves

:D

5:50 am

mattygroves

I do realise, though, that as a smoker, I look older than I am ;)

6:14 am

sukee

If you look at more recent pictures of Linda Blair I can see it. You look much better though )

6:15 am

sukee

I realize I am a bit late to the discussion.

6:25 am

9:31 am

BzznBea

Carla, have you used tapioca starch as a substitute for flour?

9:32 am

hokie carla

not exactly. I have used it in a gf flour blend when a recipe called for it.

9:33 am

BzznBea

I was just looking at a recipe for wraps/tortillas made from tapioca starch.

9:34 am

MLFAN17

I have 3 SL words for the bottom s in the third column Anyone know the stats for the word I am missing ?

9:34 am

BzznBea

Yes, the starch, cheese and milk are the only ingredients, I believe.

9:36 am

MLFAN17

hokie obviously bzz has it:)

9:37 am

BzznBea

It is not an SL. There are only three of them.

9:37 am

hokie carla

I will have to look for that recipe

hi all.. BzznBea, your flower was my last word. I finally worked out a way to rate the grids, on a scale from 1-9 with 9 being the hardest and 10 being impossible. This grid rated a 4. Have to scoot for pickleball - Happy Babbling!

MLFAN17

9:46 am

hokie carla

9:46 am

dcseain

The fronts of heads with an extra cons thrown in

9:50 am

MLFAN17

9:51 am

hokie carla

9:52 am

MLFAN17

9:53 am

BzznBea

after the first vowel

9:53 am

rururocks

*leaves a trail of popcorn at the f*

9:53 am

penquis

think of it as the british spelling for poop....add a vowel near the beginning of poop....

9:54 am

rururocks

9:54 am

MLFAN17

9:54 am

9:55 am

MLFAN17

MLFAN17

yeah it will be one of the many i will have left

9:56 am

Scrabbler

Yes, please. New clue with clarity, please.

9:56 am

BzznBea

I could talk abut my stomach bug here, but I won't.

9:56 am

MLFAN17

9:56 am

hokie carla

9:56 am

Scrabbler

9:56 am

MLFAN17

bzz do you drink soda?

9:57 am

MLFAN17

9:57 am

BzznBea

I only drink it accasionally.

9:57 am

MollyL

Thank you Bea. My son had that last week so I got up close and personal with it. That was enough for me.

9:57 am

MLFAN17

bzz coca cola helps me

9:57 am

BzznBea

You are all on a roll with these puns...

9:57 am

dcseain

huh. Found a fe7.48 that i didn't expect to work.

9:57 am

MLFAN17

dc i didn't either

9:58 am

BzznBea

I was drinking seltzer water yesterday.

9:58 am

MLFAN17

bzz does it help?

9:59 am

Haz1558

fa6/30 - first three letters of not slow, last three letters of high scoring cards.

9:59 am

MLFAN17

molly do you have a "cleaner" clue for the f word i need?

9:59 am

hokie carla

haz just did a good one

9:59 am

Scrabbler

Thank you, Haz, for presenting a clue with clarity!

9:59 am

BzznBea

The seltzer helped a bit, mlf.

9:59 am

rururocks

mlf is going to be pooped with all these cluse

9:59 am

Haz1558

You're welcome.

10:00 am

rururocks

10:00 am

BzznBea

The seltzer helped a bit, mlf.

10:00 am

MLFAN17

i am lol

10:00 am

dcseain

oh, weird no E in the first bit. ta, haz!

10:01 am

BzznBea

Not sure that anything would have helped this stomach bug except time.

10:01 am

hokie carla

I didn't think seain's and bea's original clues were crappy

10:01 am

Scrabbler

Just time, Bea, and stay hydrated.

10:01 am

MLFAN17

apparently for em yes

10:01 am

MLFAN17

me

10:02 am

dcseain

i went to the optometrist on Monday. I'll have new glasses next week. I'm very excited about that.

10:03 am

MLFAN17

the first part of the word hokie mentioned about feet works in the grid?

10:03 am

MLFAN17

dc i am so jealous i need to get new glasses too

10:03 am

rururocks

i always am amazed at how expensive glasses are

10:04 am

MLFAN17

ruru its ridiculous

10:04 am

dcseain

i wear polycarbonate progressives. Just the lenses are about $660.

10:04 am

MLFAN17

yikes!

10:04 am

Scrabbler

I bought my current spectacles from an on-line site and paid $30. Best decision ever.

10:04 am

hokie carla

it's crazy. you can get cheaper ones now at like warby parker but my eye dr. (who is one of my tennis friends) says they're crap.

10:05 am

MLFAN17

dc do you wear them when you are on a computer?

10:05 am

rururocks

mine with the frame were a bit more than that dc.. but i think in SF they're super expensive

10:05 am

pippingeek

i badly need a new refraction, and you'd think I could get one easy working in eyes but here in retina we don't do that!

10:05 am

hokie carla

I have progressives but can't really wear them on computer

10:05 am

MLFAN17

scrab just the frames?

10:05 am

dcseain

the whole pair of regular glasses came to 1047.50

10:05 am

pippingeek

damn, that's a lot

10:05 am

dcseain

and i chose the less expensive frames.

10:05 am

rururocks

ok.. you win

10:05 am

Scrabbler

No, the entire package! There are numerous online sites.

10:06 am

MLFAN17

dc WOW

10:06 am

Scrabbler

Whoa, Seain!

10:06 am

hokie carla

wow, I think mine were just about $500 total but I've had them for several years.

10:06 am

MLFAN17

scrab i have been looking.. were they want you wanted when you got the?

10:06 am

pippingeek

I've had progressives from warby, they were fine, but the higher end retailers can often do a wider angle of useable lens on progressives

10:06 am

dcseain

i've yet to find frames i like at warby parker.

10:07 am

dcseain

zenni has some good options for me, though.

10:07 am

MLFAN17

pipping i have looked at that site but i am not overly impressed with their selection

10:07 am

Scrabbler

I have progressive multifocals too. Yes, MLFAN, I have been happy and will soon do it again, after an eye exam.

10:07 am

MLFAN17

scrab that is so cool!

10:07 am

hokie carla

I am currently wearing a pair from staples that are 3 levels and they work much better for the computer than my progressives. plus they have the blue lens thing for computers.

10:08 am

dcseain

I got my first bifocals when i was 14. Switched to progressives when i was 26.

10:08 am

rururocks

i don't wear glasses for my computer

10:08 am

pippingeek

I worry about getting them online because I'm very specific about where I need the changes to be - I'm tall so if the middle distance starts at my pupil level (the way most places like to start) then half of my distance vision gets obscured since I spend a lot of time looking downward

10:08 am

hokie carla

my longest running lifelong friend got bifocals at 12

10:08 am

Scrabbler

MLFAN, the cost of frames and lenses is outrageous so I am done with that.

10:08 am

MLFAN17

hokie do you see yellow through them? i have heard store bought computer glasses can cause the degenerative eye disease?

10:09 am

dcseain

My mom got hers at 11. My eyes are similar to hers.

10:09 am

MLFAN17

don't blame you scrab

10:09 am

hokie carla

no

10:09 am

Scrabbler

Oh, pip, that is tricky.

10:09 am

MLFAN17

ruru i need glasses for the compuer

10:09 am

pippingeek

glasses cannot cause any degenerative retinal problems

10:09 am

MLFAN17

some computer glasses you just get from a store can

10:10 am

MLFAN17

can someone help me with this "poopish" word please?

10:10 am

hokie carla

I have never heard that

10:11 am

BzznBea

mlf, smiling fa5/18 with an S after the fa.

10:11 am

pippingeek

I've worked in retina for years, I've never heard of such a thing, most degenerative retinal conditions are genetic, and I've never heard of glasses affecting the back of the eye in any way

10:11 am

hokie carla

I think they say blue light can cause the degenerative problem, so the glasses would be the solution, not the problem

10:11 am

MLFAN17

ty bzz

10:11 am

BzznBea

I have a freckle on my retina

10:12 am

MLFAN17

hokie i guess but its what i have read online some say those types of glasses have a yellow tinge

10:12 am

hokie carla

mine has a blue tinge

10:13 am

BzznBea

We know that everything you read on line is correct.

10:13 am

hokie carla

I just googled and didn't see anything saying they cause problems, only they might help

10:13 am

MLFAN17

well stores have to give warnings

10:14 am

hokie carla

true, bea! ;)

10:14 am

Scrabbler

I have 3 moles on my retinas.

10:14 am

pippingeek

we do frequently suggest yellow tinted glasses for patients with problems because it helps to increase contrast sensitivity

10:14 am

MLFAN17

moles?

10:14 am

rururocks

never heard of freckles and moles on retinas

10:14 am

MLFAN17

me either

10:15 am

pippingeek

yep, totally a thing, freckles on retinas and sometimes on the iris too

10:15 am

BzznBea

I have a pair of yellow tinted sunglasses I wear when it is cloudy out.

10:15 am

pippingeek

most of the time it's nothing, they just take a photo and monitor it to make sure it doesn't change

10:15 am

hokie carla

one of my friends in HS had a freckle you could see on his eye. he had it removed later in case it was a problem, but it wasn't

10:15 am

pippingeek

they call it a nevus

10:15 am

MLFAN17

HO 5 clue pls?

10:15 am

rururocks

i guess if i had three moles in my eyes i'd gopher cheaper glasses too

10:16 am

MLFAN17

so if i need glasses for the computer where should i get them?

10:16 am

BzznBea

Yes, that's is what they do for me geek.

10:16 am

BzznBea

ho 5 is plural of ho4/7

10:16 am

MLFAN17

bzz yellow tinted glasses for the sun is just fine:)

10:17 am

pippingeek

depends how complicated your prescription is - for people who don't wear glasses already we usually suggest they just get cheap drugstore glasses to start (for reading or computer) and only if those are inadequate do we suggest paying for a refraction and custom made glasses

10:18 am

BzznBea

If it is just for reading, mlf, I get them from the dollar tree.

10:18 am

MLFAN17

sorry i need a ho 4 will look.

10:19 am

hokie carla

think georgetown mascot

10:19 am

MLFAN17

i use reading glasses for computer sometimes but its not that clear i don't use eyedrops much as i can never put the damn things in lol

10:19 am

BzznBea

I have to wear cheap readers when I wear my contacts. And since they only cost a buck, I have several in every room of the house.

10:19 am

MLFAN17

i have the Georgetown words

10:20 am

hokie carla

then you have the ho's you asked about

10:20 am

BzznBea

I was excited to see cheap reading sunglasses...

10:20 am

MLFAN17

duh should have had that one lol

10:21 am

MLFAN17

same place bzz?

10:21 am

BzznBea

Yes.

10:21 am

MLFAN17

yeah that's where we got our reading glasses too

10:21 am

hokie carla

I got some reading sunglasses a couple of years ago but they were too strong as the more light there is the better I can see

10:21 am

MLFAN17

they were not a dollar howver

10:21 am

MLFAN17

however

10:22 am

BzznBea

Just pinned a cabbage roll soup...Now, I have to step away from the Black Hole!

10:22 am

hokie carla

:D

10:23 am

rururocks

cabbage soup will slaw you

10:23 am

I'm not normally weak with gory things, but when it's my own body it's a different story. also almost passed out after my shoulder surgery when I went in to have the stitches out and was looking at them.

10:49 am

rururocks

i pass out with needles sometimes

10:49 am

Judi

Gotta look at your phone or something when that kind of thing is going on, hokie.

10:49 am

rururocks

always affects me weirdly

10:49 am

MLFAN17

my mom has to have shoulder surgery next month

10:49 am

phaeton

bottom E stats pls

10:49 am

hokie carla

needles don't bother me at all. I can watch them give me a shot or take blood all day.

10:50 am

Judi

Don't pass out, but feel ooky when watching needles go in. Henceforth, I don't watch.

10:50 am

hokie carla

what is she having done, mlfan?

10:50 am

rururocks

not me

10:50 am

rururocks

they have to lie me down to take blood

10:50 am

MLFAN17

not sure what its called bout apparently someone else her age had the same thing

10:50 am

MLFAN17

she is in her 70s

10:51 am

hokie carla

my husband and oldest son are also wimps with needles :D. they youngest takes after me though.

10:51 am

MLFAN17

i thought it was due to a fall she had a few months ago but i dontthink that's right?

10:51 am

rururocks

did she shoulder a lot of blame mlf?

10:51 am

hokie carla

could be anything

10:51 am

phaeton

torn rotator cuff...having that surgery too

10:52 am

Judi

Can no longer give blood (at Blood Bank). Blood pressure plummets after. Passed out after last draw. BP 90 / 50.

10:52 am

hokie carla

that was my first guess.

10:52 am

MLFAN17

phae that doesn't sound like fun.. that area can be damaged due to a fal or over use right?

10:53 am

phaeton

yes...that's how I injured mine

10:53 am

Judi

Rotator? Don't even know her.

10:53 am

hokie carla

mine was a SLAP tear (the L part of that being labrum). they also filed down a bone spur and I had frozen shoulder so they tried busting that up some.

10:53 am

bottom E stats?

10:53 am

phae the e word stats are ea6 es4 ey 4

10:54 am

hokie carla

they also thought they were going to cut my biceps tendon and reattach it but they didn't have to do that once they went in, so that was good. that would've been 3 mos. immobilized.

10:54 am

Judi

Be rehap is a bitch after that rotator / frozen shoulder surgery.

10:54 am

phaeton

mine is very painful every time i try using it

10:55 am

Rehap, rather.

hokie congrats on fireworks

10:55 am

ty mlf

10:55 am

it's funny, with the frozen shoulder they wanted me to start rehab and moving it right away so it wouldn't "freeze" back.

Ok. enough torture. 73 left. See y'all tomorrow!

Nice Cadfan. And yes cybernan, coming from blizzardy Nova Scotia, the winter here is not hard to bear.

Natasha I actually don't mind the winter that much but I also prefer August to January

11:35 am

NatashaW

I'm from New England and love winter but as I grow older I start to see where it might be hard to get about. My mom at 85 felt marooned in her apt.

11:36 am

cybernan

we got to NS in Sept. just in time for Dorian -- quite an experience to learn the true spirit of such wonderful people

11:36 am

NatashaW

Where in NS do you live swmbo?

11:37 am

swmbo

OMG that must have been a shock! I lost power for three days, the longest I have actually experienced such a loss. I live in POrt Hawkesbury, on Cape Breton Island

11:38 am

NatashaW

We adore Cape Breton. I never wanted to leave. One of my happiest trip memories.

11:38 am

swmbo

Such minor weather disasters do have a nice side effect: People go out of their way to help others out.

11:39 am

swmbo

I'm so glad you liked the home of my heart Cape Breton.

11:39 am

NatashaW

We even did Meat Cove. Our son wanted to visit the northernmost point. Spectacular lonely beauty!

11:40 am

swmbo

OK, I am lost on the O's. Anyone have a hint, or a nudge?

11:40 am

NatashaW

I'm really hoping to visit again soon.

11:40 am

NatashaW

camel drinking spot?

11:40 am

swmbo

Well if you visit again you must look me up. I will do you a little tour

11:41 am

ChampFit

Greek exclamation

11:41 am

NatashaW

I will take you up on that!!

11:41 am

swmbo

Eureka? LOL

11:42 am

cybernan

we were in Halifax at the time - not much damage in the neighbourhood where our B&B was situated, but left the next day for Annapolis -- a whole new ball game there -- no power or water for the 3 days we were there -- but the greatest thing was the "we"ll manage and stay open" attitude on the part of the motel we had booked and the bakery who had the only oil fired stove staying open and preparing food for the locals and tourists, then everyone in the motel bringing what fruit and other foods they had to share with the others in the breakfast room.

11:42 am

bichon

I've been to Cape Breton Island. We loved it

11:43 am

swmbo

cybernan see that is what I mean. Make the best of a bad situation and make new frie4nds LOL

11:43 am

NatashaW

The exclamation is used in court as the judge enters. It's French I think

11:43 am

swmbo

Bichon what did you like about CB?

11:44 am

swmbo

Oh I know that exclamation. I think they still use it in our courts

11:45 am

NatashaW

BTW if you look at my "profile" the photo is of me with my son at Louisbourg lighthouse :-)

11:48 am

swmbo

Oh wow! I see you belong to the sisterhood of the pink ribbon, I do too. AND when you visit here again, I will want to hear you sing. I always said that if I ever had a choice of a gift from the gods, it would be an operatic voice. LUCKY you!

11:49 am

NatashaW

We loved it all... Louisbourg, Baddeck, Bras d'Or Lake, Sydney, Ingonish, Glace Bay, Cheticamp, Mabou, ceilidhs at the Red Shoe, jam from Galloping Cows, visited the distillery. Only thing I missed that I'm sorry about is Gampo Abbey.

11:49 am

11:50 am

I have fa6/36. It means turning your visage toward something

11:51 am

NatashaW

Ah yes. About to celebrate my 10th anniversary of "still here despite"! The voice is sadly pretty shot, but I can croak a few bars still. I had a wonderful time with it while it lasted.

11:51 am

sorry -- looing for fa 6/30 - have the same one as you

11:51 am

Natasha you really did see a lot. I myself have not been to Gampo Abbey; maybe we can go together

I'll have to go back and re-read that. Loved Lewis Carroll. Still remember Jabberwocky by heart.

11:53 am

NatashaW

it's the word that is the origin of a certain kind of authoritarian gov't like they had under Mussolini in the 1940s

11:54 am

those are subjects taught at the school "Drawling, Stretching and Fainting in Coils; the study of Laughing and Grief@

I just had someone play JE against me in WWF. Si5 when has that been a word? I thought JO was the only 2 letter J word.

1:06 pm

dcseain

jo and ji, sometimes ja depending on dictionary

1:09 pm

hokie carla

well, I know what jo means would love to know what ji, ja (maybe yes in another language?), and je mean.

1:09 pm

MollyL

JA and JO are the only two in the Scrabble Dictionary

1:10 pm

hokie carla

that's one of the reasons I really don't like WWF, but that's what everyone plays

1:12 pm

dcseain

WWF has become so bloated as to be less fun. I'm also on Lexulous as dcseain

1:16 pm

hokie carla

I don't like where the bonus tiles are on WWF. I played Lexulous many years ago but thought it got shut down by Scrabble.

1:17 pm

hokie carla

I will check it out

1:18 pm

hokie carla

I recently changed my WWF name to Randy McRando when I realized strangers could see my full name and FB pic. Some guy started a game and then was trying to have weird convo with me.

1:20 pm

NatashaW

Can I convert anyone away from Scrabble clones to playing Boggle clones instead? It's a level playing field that doesn't require you to figure out how to use a J and an X on your last turn or know all those darn 2-letter "words." weboggle and prolific.games are just 2 of the many sites where you can play and chat with nice folks!

1:20 pm

hokie carla

I was thinking "didn't Lexulous come back as WWF after Scrabble shut it down" and in the app store the screen shots do look the same.

1:21 pm

hokie carla

always love boggle clones, natasha. I will check those out. I have been playing serpentine after learning about it here. not doing very well, but I will check out yours too.

1:22 pm

ChampFit

I find the same weirdos on WWF, carla. It's gotten so that I decline all men unless I know them in real life.

1:22 pm

NatashaW

I love boggle because the element of chance (which letters you get) is removed, and everyone has the same set of letters to work with. Also it's fast. I always hated waiting for my opponent to lay down her bingo.

1:24 pm

NatashaW

My husband however loves WWF and isn't a weirdo. Michael C. if you ever run across him.

1:26 pm

ChampFit

Thx! Will look for him.

1:28 pm

NatashaW

Ooh, just looked up ca6, 36. Turns out to mean "to make or become like cheese." Must figure out how to use it in casual conversation :-)

1:29 pm

ChampFit

That word annoyed me! But it would be fun to drop some time. :)

1:30 pm

NatashaW

It was the one I struggled hardest to find Champ. I'm off to weboggle.info (play the 5x5 board). See y'all tomorrow!

1:31 pm

firefly779

i'd love a clue for that ca6/36 :)

1:32 pm

hokie carla

to make or become like cheese. who knew.

1:32 pm

ChampFit

Starts like the 4/5 before it, and ends in the sometimes vowel. It's a word that looks like it makes no sense.

1:32 pm

hokie carla

oh, just saw natasha already said that

1:32 pm

ChampFit

I'm out of here too...anyone need a clue before I go?

1:34 pm

...see you tomorrow!
