mattygroves

Found it, thanks!

5:51 am

MollyL

Ooo, Matty. New picture of the grand girlie. She's beautiful.

5:51 am

mattygroves

She is SUCH a cutie. I have a whole album on FB now where I collect all the pictures Sarah sends me

5:51 am

mattygroves

Thank you!

5:52 am

MollyL

Any idea when you will get to see her?

5:52 am

mattygroves

High school graduation ;) Almost certainly not this year - Melbourne is still in full lockdown and Australia isn't letting anyone in in any case :(

5:53 am

mattygroves

She's reading Meditations by Marcus Aurelius in that picture. They're starting her education young ;)

5:54 am

MollyL

Well, I hope things turn around soon. You must feel so deprived.

5:55 am

mattygroves

It's tough

5:55 am

mattygroves

But I'm glad that we have so many communication tools - it's a lot easier to stay in touch now than it was when Sarah was little (with my parents)

6:03 am

lynxxx

It's very sad - I have only seen my kids a couple of times since Mathilda was born and they are only a few km's away. Good news Matty - the lockdown is starting to work and new cases are going down. But I think like you that it will bve a very long time b4 Australia lets travellers in. Maybe her 1st birthday? - heres hoping.

6:24 am

mattygroves

I'd say 50/50 chance of seeing her before she turns 2

7:29 am

hokie carla

uh-oh, the old word for little person is in here

7:33 am

MollyL

Oh, is that another word that is non PC these days? So hard to keep track of them all.

7:34 am

hokie carla

yes

7:35 am

MollyL

I am still wondering what Eskimo Pies will now be called.

7:35 am

Sugrraleona

omg, that funny Molly LOL LOL

7:36 am

hokie carla

well brown cow is taken

7:37 am

hokie carla

ooh, g is gray!

7:38 am

MollyL

They were originally called I-Scream Bars.

7:38 am

hokie carla

then they should just go back to that

7:40 am

MollyL

No more Aunt Jemima or Uncle Ben's either

7:41 am

MollyL

What's next? Quaker Oats?

7:41 am

hokie carla

there are still quakers around, right?

7:42 am

hokie carla

maybe bigfoot will come out to protest yeti coolers. haha, I kill me.

7:42 am

BzznBea

Yes, there are still Quakers.

7:44 am

hokie carla

7:44 am

7:46 am

Scrabbler

Whoa, huge grid.

just trying to get halfway on each tile as usual, it is hard today on some

7:54 am

hokie carla

7:55 am

Scrabbler

Go Carla, go.

7:55 am

Wendrie

There are definitely still Quakers - I am one ;)

7:55 am

hokie carla

I know with a grid this big there are going to be words that I enter that aren't there

7:56 am

hokie carla

Hi Wendrie, thanks for the info!

7:58 am

Wendrie

Mind you Quakers don't have anything to do with Quaker Oats...

7:58 am

hokie carla

yes, but the container has a picture of a quaker IIRC

8:03 am

MollyL

I'm wondering why now? Aunt Jemima products have been around for over 100 years. Uncle Ben's for over 70 years.

8:04 am

BzznBea

Same reason the are taking down all the statues.

8:04 am

hokie carla

well, now because of the BLM movement

8:05 am

Wendrie

companies are aware that changing their packaging/naming will show more respect and figure this will mean more sales.

8:05 am

MollyL

Yeah, but if they are offensive now, haven't they always been?

8:05 am

Wendrie

yes, they were - but the companies/people didn't care

8:06 am

PastorJ

Voices are finally being heard that have been ignored too long.

8:06 am

hokie carla

I think they have always been but now there's actually a "voice" the companies will listen to

8:07 am

hokie carla

hmm, I wonder why un-at7 is not a word

9:46 am

cybernan

clue please teach?

9:48 am

9:49 am

phaeton

ending*

9:49 am

wvteach

mine comes from left and can't see how to extend it - has ending like radioactive element

9:49 am

cybernan

haven't listed, so no idea on the tr 6

9:49 am

phaeton

yeah might be from the left...9 comes from the center

9:50 am

MLFAN17

i have a tr 6 ending in s

9:50 am

wvteach

TR 6 - used over and over again

9:50 am

mkg

MollyL

End it with past tense of consume + a consonant

9:50 am

phaeton

9:51 am

MLFAN17

9:51 am

phaeton

bbl

9:51 am

MollyL

I don't think more stale is a Babblet

9:52 am

MLFAN17

molly it doesnt come from a pl 6 does it?

9:52 am

MollyL

This board is rated PG. I can't tell you how to get a 9.
: D

9:53 am

MollyL

I think the word in question is tr9, not a pl

9:53 am

MLFAN17

does it start with a tr 5 o5 6?

9:54 am

MollyL

No

9:54 am

penquis

i have a tr 9 that is a pt....is that the only tr 9?

9:54 am

cybernan

clue was drop last vowel from tr 6 and add consumed, but that doesn't work

9:54 am

BzznBea

tr9 three + Spanish aunt + nickname for Edward

9:55 am

penquis

add a consonant before Edward....

9:55 am

MollyL

Nope Nan, that clue won't work. It doesn't end in E

9:55 am

Trifioso

No Pen, she is talking about the other nickname, like Kennedy

9:56 am

cybernan

ty bea

9:56 am

penquis

yes.....and it has a consonant before Kennedy....at least my tr 9 does....

9:56 am

wvteach

using the TR 5 - change last vowel + consumed + pt

9:56 am

MollyL

Okay, now we know who was paying attention in chemistry class. Not me!

9:57 am

MollyL

Add the last two of pirate booze

9:58 am

penquis

tr 7 ends like something radioactive....

9:58 am

mkg

i cant get that clue. tritia is not connected to an "e"...

9:58 am

MollyL

It's not the nickname that starts with E

9:58 am

MollyL

Like I said, like Kennedy

9:58 am

Biltong

ty, pen :)

9:58 am

wvteach

TR 7 - drop last vowel of TR 5 + add ending of radioactive element

9:59 am

cybernan

ty pen -- didn't know that was a radioactive ending

9:59 am

MLFAN17

rput a cons in first

9:59 am

penquis

9:59 am

mkg

10:00 am

BzznBea

tu7 is tu + consumed + sun god

10:00 am

penquis

sorry, nan.....it just reminded me of the elements.....

10:00 am

12:19 pm

Trifioso

Wendrie

Always ready for a nerdy moment

12:19 pm

Trifioso

I grew a new variety this summer, and man oh man I will be doing it again! The tomatoes are marble-sized and SO flavorful!

12:19 pm

hurshy

phantom: tuatara (only because i just read an article about this animal, which has like no living relatives, being more closely related to prehistoric creatures, looks like a lizard but actually its DNA is way more crazy)

12:21 pm

moolingwa

Not a phantom for the alternate ;)

12:21 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

phantom terrarium

12:21 pm

hurshy

oh i didn't know it could HAVE an alternate, i will have to look

12:21 pm

hurshy

thanks moo

12:21 pm

moolingwa

Yeah, in NZ we never spelled it that way, but the dictionary has had it for as long as I can recall

12:22 pm

hurshy

you never spelt it which way, with the e?

12:22 pm

moolingwa

correct

12:22 pm

hurshy

mk good to know

12:22 pm

hurshy

you can have the root of that gwen

12:22 pm

moolingwa

I assume it was "manglification" of the maori word

12:22 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

halfway done, still no nbt, argh

12:23 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

got the root, tanx

12:23 pm

hurshy

gwen, i really wished you were here a few days ago when i did a name that proper noun cause Strax was in the grid, nobody around knew that one

12:23 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

LOL!!

12:24 pm

12:28 pm

hurshy

corner T?

12:28 pm

72 Temple Owl

i planted Mr. Stripey and it's just now flowering. the plant is over 5 ft. not a good year here

12:29 pm

72 Temple Owl

at this rate i will not have any until the end of september. very disappointed.

12:30 pm

hurshy

this is a friggin lot of T words today

12:30 pm

72 Temple Owl

so far i have had two san marxano and one burpee compact.

12:32 pm

moolingwa

corner t means swollen

12:33 pm

hurshy

hmm, when i think swollen i think of ed5...

12:34 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

slartie (not a word)

12:35 pm

MollyL

This swollen word is often used in romance novels for um...another kind of swelling

12:35 pm

hurshy

thesaurus to the rescue!!

12:35 pm

MollyL

Kanye for President? The world has truly gone to hell.

12:36 pm

hurshy

ha, i never read romance novels, unless you count, like, Jane Austen, which hopefully you don't.

12:36 pm

hurshy

and Jane Austen would NEVER talk about that kind of swelling!

12:36 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

oh, yeah, i'm voting for Kanye, another mentally ill megalomaniac LOL

12:36 pm

Wendrie

I like romance novels but am too hot to think of that sort of swelling...

12:36 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

back leter, if pos. bye all

12:36 pm

MollyL

I would never count Jane Austen in with the romance novel writers

12:37 pm

hurshy

molly, he's apparently bipolar and is having a manic period rn

12:38 pm

hurshy

ugh, i still need FIFTEEN t words! soooo many T words!!!

12:39 pm

MollyL

I look at the three fold picture of Kanye, Trump and Biden and all I can think is "oh man, we are in some serious trouble"

12:40 pm

hurshy

tis true, tis pity, and pity tis, tis true

12:41 pm

Trifioso

TO, in my limited experience thus far, ALL the food in Philly is excellent - haven't had a bad meal there yet!

12:41 pm

hurshy

phantom: termite

12:45 pm

moolingwa

The soft pretzels and kielbasa are the best in Philly in the US IMO

12:46 pm

moolingwa

I was always partial to the buffalo chicken cheesesteak

12:46 pm

hurshy

i like soft pretzels!

12:46 pm

hokie carla

IDK if I can trust a place where the people call spaghetti sauce gravy

12:46 pm

moolingwa

Macaroni and gravy :)

12:47 pm

moolingwa

I did feel there wasn't as much quality restaurants in Philly compared to other places I've lived though

12:47 pm

MollyL

I have problems with cheesesteaks that have Cheese Whiz on them.

12:48 pm

moolingwa

I have a problem with scrapple

12:49 pm

hokie carla

cheez whiz sounds good to me but I do think it's odd that is acceptable there

12:49 pm

hurshy

get crazy with the cheez whiz

12:49 pm

hokie carla

scrapple is pig related, right?

12:49 pm

MollyL

Oh yuck. My Dad came from Pennsylvania Dutch country and they ate scrapple up there

12:49 pm

moolingwa

scrapple is food related...meaning that it has some resemblance to food

12:50 pm

Wendrie

scrapple is a required taste...

12:50 pm

MollyL

Scrapple is a congealed mold of pork scraps. I rest my case.

12:50 pm

Wendrie

carmite - bugs in autos ;)

12:50 pm

moolingwa

I believe they add some sort of grain to it as well

12:50 pm

hurshy

Gs Gone

12:51 pm

hokie carla

yes, just looked, they add wheat and stuff. darn, I'm out

12:51 pm

moolingwa

I thought carmite might be a spread made out of old engine grease, similar in flavor to vegemite

12:51 pm

hurshy

that is super gross

12:51 pm

MollyL

I hope it is an acquired taste and not a required one, because no one could ever require me to eat it

12:51 pm

hokie carla

when I first moved here to NC I kept hearing about livermush. reading the def. of both it actually looks similar.

12:51 pm

moolingwa

I lived in PA for 6-7 years, and managed to avoid it

12:52 pm

Wendrie

You can get scrapple gluten free - it's using up the remains of sausage making and pig slaughtering so cornbread could be gf

12:52 pm

moolingwa

the smell was no more appetizing IMO

12:52 pm

hokie carla

darn you, wendrie!

12:52 pm

Wendrie

Molly - missed that, yes Aquired, not required. Thankfully as I turned it down every time it was offered ;)

12:52 pm

MollyL

Isn't black pudding the Brit version of scrapple

12:53 pm

moolingwa

I thought black pudding was blood

12:53 pm

hokie carla

so, which would you eat first, scrapple, livermush, or haggis

12:53 pm

hurshy

why must we be ruining all our appetites

12:53 pm

moolingwa

Well I've had liverwurst before, and pate...so I guess that's the closest

12:53 pm

MollyL

Starving to death sounds like a better alternative

12:53 pm

hokie carla

LOL, I'm eating right now

12:54 pm

moolingwa

But why eat something if you don't need it

12:54 pm

Wendrie

Black pudding is a sausage - usually cut into slices. Haggis is more like cabbage rolls. I was in Edinburgh for Burns Night this week and I was told I'd get a gluten free Haggis dinner.... it was a mushroom omelet ;)

12:54 pm

Wendrie

Scrapple was more like a hash when I was offered it

12:55 pm

moolingwa

The typical scrapple I saw was like molly mentioned, a mold that was then sliced and fried

12:55 pm

hokie carla

are you gluten free, wendrie?

12:55 pm

Wendrie

sadly yes Carla

12:55 pm

hokie carla

same, also against my will

12:56 pm

Trifioso

I was a HIGHLY unusual pregnant person - no morning sickness. The one and only time I barfed, in three pregnancies, was when mr hate fed me black pudding

12:56 pm

hurshy

*plays TAPS for the gluten free folks*

12:56 pm

hokie carla

LOL

12:57 pm

Trifioso

brb

12:57 pm

MollyL

It kills me that people go gluten free with no health reason to do so

12:57 pm

hokie carla

trif, I only felt slightly sick one time in 2 pregnancies. I had all kinds of other less common things though, carpal tunnel, PUPPS. okay, those are the only things I can think of.

12:58 pm

hokie carla

me too, molly

12:58 pm

Wendrie

Molly - I figure that they're increasing the market and therefore more stuff becomes available for me.

12:58 pm

hurshy

rare that we get both singular and plural at6 and at5

12:59 pm

MollyL

*Had to look up PUPPS, it's a rash, Carla didn't have puppies

12:59 pm

hokie carla

my friend thinks I can eat gluten in Europe because "their wheat is different". I have explained more than once that Ireland has one of the highest rates of celiac in the world.

12:59 pm

MollyL

Their wheat is different? First I've heard

12:59 pm

hokie carla

yes, and I don't rem. the words, so I had to use the acronym PUPPS

1:00 pm

hurshy

are there any AU words?

1:00 pm

Wendrie

I have a gf friend who found she could eat Irish sourdough, I've not tried it.

1:00 pm

hokie carla

she has another friend with a wheat allergy, which is different from celiac disease, and her friend could drink the beer over there, etc.

1:00 pm

Wendrie

no Hurshy

1:01 pm

MollyL

No wonder. Who would remember Pruritic urticarial papules and plaques

1:01 pm

hurshy

ty wendrie

1:01 pm

hokie carla

exactly. I think my dr. said it was only her second time seeing it in a patient. but my cousin had it too.

1:02 pm

hurshy

Es Extinguished!

1:04 pm

origami

I find it amusing when products like eggs have "gluten free" stamped on the carton. It's become a sales strategy.

1:04 pm

MollyL

Like when LITE was on everything there for a while

1:05 pm

hurshy

even better when your jar of peanuts says "MAY CONTAIN PEANUTS"

1:05 pm

Wendrie

my dd laughs when she sees that and fat free on the marshmallow packages

1:05 pm

MollyL

Oh Hurshy wins. That is hilarious.

1:05 pm

hokie carla

it is a double-edged sword - more products and labeling but people in restaurants taking it less seriously due to the trendiness.

1:06 pm

origami

I saw "antibacterial" on a bottle of window cleaner. As if people were going to lick their windows and needed to make sure they were germ-free.

1:06 pm

hurshy

well my cats constantly press their noses on the windows

1:07 pm

hurshy

i clean off the nose marks and they are back in a day or two

1:07 pm

People are actually using Clorox on their hands and wrecking their skin in the process

1:09 pm

My doggie door is always a giant mess of dog nose slime and dirt. I clean it and an hour later it looks like pigs straight from a sty have been using it.

1:13 pm

Welcome to the chat. Current topic of conversation: Pet snot. : D

1:13 pm

The struggle is real :D

1:14 pm

Pet snot matters!

1:24 pm

hokie carla

hmm, care to clue the im6? not seeing it

1:25 pm

an inn for pilgrims in Turkey

1:25 pm

MollyL

It is some Turkish word for a hospice for visitors

1:25 pm

hokie carla

oh, that?

1:25 pm

hurshy

yes, that

1:26 pm

MollyL

I never see it. My brain refuses to remember that one too

1:26 pm

are there any MU words?

Although I was sure that mucal would be some form of mucous

1:27 pm

1:27 pm

I also tried The Ghost and Mrs. Mu4

how about bags of flour that tell you to cook it before eating?

1:29 pm

72 Temple Owl

and kitty snot is sooooo hard to clean from windows.

1:29 pm

hokie carla

well, TO, you know how they always say don't eat raw cookie dough & cake batter, etc. mostly due to raw eggs in it, but flour can also be an issue.

1:29 pm

72 Temple Owl

1:29 pm

MollyL

The all time worst is powdered baby formula that says ADD WATER BEFORE FEEDING. Really?

1:30 pm

72 Temple Owl

but how have lived for decades and not seen this caution?

1:30 pm

i mean, no wonder the older generation is so tough...;)

1:30 pm

72 Temple Owl

um, there are no words...

*imagining some idiot spooining dry powder into a baby*

1:31 pm

hokie carla

my grandmother got really sick with like an allergic reaction in her 80s after eating strawberry shortcake. at first they thought maybe she'd developed an allergy to strawberries after that many years, but now my mom thinks it was something to do with the flour.

1:32 pm

origami

The coffee cups that say "warning, contents may be hot." Oy Vey.

1:32 pm

72 Temple Owl

although i suppose that is one of the tenets of the camapaign vs. nestile and formula- non-availability of clean safe water

1:32 pm

hokie carla

and as far as the baby formula thing goes, there are some real idiots that have babies and some really young people that have them, so that one doesn't surprise me as much.

1:33 pm

72 Temple Owl

i once saw a very young girl waiting for the el dripping coke from a straw into a very wee one

1:33 pm

hokie carla

well, I am quite certain my mom used to put coke in a baby bottle for me

1:34 pm

72 Temple Owl

i mean, it would not really harm the child but still- caffeine in a baby - imagine that crying jag

1:34 pm

my friend used the hum of a hair dryer to lull her kid to sleep. she worried that the first thime the girl went to a salon, she's just zonk out while being styled. :D

1:36 pm

72 Temple Owl

lol so you were the luvs kid, the others got pampers? :P

1:36 pm

I almost zonk out every time at a salon, it's very relaxing

1:37 pm

Ss Sunk!

1:37 pm

72 Temple Owl

i hate having my hair washed by anyone other than me.

1:37 pm

72 Temple Owl

styling is nice

1:37 pm

hokie carla

my oldest bro was born in '64 - he had cloth diapers because there is a story of him crying and crying and my mom finally discovering she had pinned it to him.

1:38 pm

72 Temple Owl

don't EVER zonk out with a stylist you don't know. this from personal experience

1:38 pm

hokie carla

sunday AM seems to be a big shopping day here.

1:48 pm

hokie carla

1:48 pm

72 Temple Owl

no tomatoes on the vine, they are lagging.

1:48 pm

72 Temple Owl

i need gas from costco. i think tuesday is the lower rate day

1:49 pm

hokie carla

lower rate gas? I thought it was always lower than other gas stations. no?

1:50 pm

72 Temple Owl

yes but gas tends to increase in price on/before the weekend. at least around here. prices change based on the price for the storage tank refill time

1:50 pm

hokie carla

phantom tiramisu

1:51 pm

72 Temple Owl

but it is 99.8% of the time lower, thiugh not consistenly by how much. at least around here. NJ it is aleays lower.

1:53 pm

72 Temple Owl

it's beastly hot and humid, with lots of ozone today. stay safe!

1:53 pm

bojazz

NJ is lower due to the presence of oil storage from off-loading. No freight to stations of great distances...

1:54 pm

MollyL

Why quarantining for two weeks just in case? Did I miss something?

1:55 pm

72 Temple Owl

i worked low to med risk for musiikfest. mos twas virtual but ther performers in the tv studio needed tending.

1:56 pm

72 Temple Owl

and some people WILL get right in your face, even with a mask it is awful

1:56 pm

72 Temple Owl

in counting o er 300 people for capacity issue, only two unmasked. not allowed in.

1:57 pm

72 Temple Owl

make that about 3000

1:58 pm

MollyL

I thought that was canceled.

1:58 pm

72 Temple Owl

so i will lay low. as compared to the usual social whilrwind of activites available.

1:59 pm

MollyL

Oh, they streamed it

1:59 pm

72 Temple Owl

not cancelled. virtaul except for socially distant ticketed events. i counted poeple for the food truck grab and go. huge parking lot with only abbout 15 trucks.

1:59 pm

72 Temple Owl

on lline but the cable company set up a studio in their garage for live tv. i did that as well a couple of nights.

1:59 pm

MollyL

Socially distant ticketed event does not sound in the least bit fun.

1:59 pm

72 Temple Owl

no eating there.

2:01 pm

72 Temple Owl

you know, it sold out within hours. you could buy a table- for your group- or a lawn spacce for only $10. each lawn swuare seated 4. within your space you could remove your mask and eat. it was very compliant. not looking to pack the place, just to keep the festival alive and restore spirits.

2:02 pm

72 Temple Owl

counted between 1700-3000 filks coming through to grab food. storms cause lack of power, so mid week was as steady as weekend for food.

2:03 pm

hokie carla

finally realized what the 2nd domain was ;)

2:03 pm

72 Temple Owl

and people just love their favorite foods. it gave back some of the normal august routine.

2:28 pm

Trifioso

oh dear, harry!

2:28 pm

HarryHood

hopefully it's good now. time will tell.

2:31 pm

Trifioso

2:39 pm

HarryHood

we got our "returning to school" protocols

2:39 pm

Trifioso

i dread to ask.....

2:39 pm

HarryHood

its going to be so unpleasant

2:39 pm

Trifioso

we are not going back to the building. it is not feasible. At least until October.

2:39 pm

HarryHood

moreso for the kids though. I pity them

2:40 pm

HarryHood

wow

2:40 pm

HarryHood

we are a small school.

2:43 pm

Trifioso

my place is in an uproar. SO MANY elements are undefined and no one will answer questions. For example - the online schedule is only a few hours every day. Many of our staff members are hourly. What happens to them? Are they suddenly getting 3 hours of a pay a day instead of 6.75? That is not what they contracted for.

2:43 pm

harpjane

greetings! may I have the stats for the corner T please?

2:43 pm

Trifioso

2:44 pm

HarryHood

a few of our teachers are very very anxious.

2:44 pm

HarryHood

they've started a petition to make some changes.

2:44 pm

HarryHood

I declined to sign on, and got some flak. But I really want to be in school with the kids

2:45 pm

Trifioso

i feel ill every time I hear of another district closing after just a few days. How many of these will it take?

2:46 pm

HarryHood

the videos of some of these places are wild - the crowded hallways, no masks.

2:46 pm

Trifioso

I did get a laugh off a question someone posted on FB this week - "why can't we have a bunch of cable channels assigned to broadcast classes, and all the kids in america could just watch those?" Oh, where to start! For starters, each state has it's own core competencies. Imagine the pearl clutching!!!! You are going to teach our children WHAT? We aren't one of your northern liberal states!

2:47 pm

HarryHood

we'll have PBS-blue and PBS-red

2:48 pm

Dippnall

Hello you two - have you been in school at all? My school has worked throughout. Firstly for children of key workers and then increasingly for as many as we were able to accommodate. Elaborate and complicated routines but the kids took it all in their stride. A few weeks of holiday left here still - then we'll see how it goes .....

2:49 pm

Wendrie

Radio school classes happened during polio and similar outbreaks before

2:49 pm

HarryHood

2:50 pm

HarryHood

we've been doing zoom since march.

2:50 pm

Trifioso

the state of Kansas adopted a science curriculum - once more, A SCIENCE CURRICULUM - that requires teachers to include "things which can only be defined as 'miracle'"

2:51 pm

Wendrie

Yeah I know Trif.... makes me wonder!

2:51 pm

HarryHood

all this computer magic falls under that heading :)

2:51 pm

HarryHood

how can you believe in electrons if you can't see them

2:51 pm

Trifioso

The republican party in Texas includes a plank in their platform that prohibits the teaching of higher order thinking skills, as it "leads children away from the Biblical teaching to obey their parents."

2:52 pm

Trifioso

national teaching? Don't make me laugh!

2:52 pm

HarryHood

home rule is fine by me

5:26 pm

moolingwa

5:26 pm

moolingwa

I did not, have spent only a little time in Cincinnati too

5:27 pm

hokie carla

I, too, have spent some time in the airport here.

5:27 pm

5:33 pm

moolingwa

5:33 pm

moolingwa

not a common name

5:34 pm

hokie carla

common enough, I just wasn't seeing it.

5:34 pm

hokie carla

maybe if you said the meter maid or ms. moreno

5:35 pm

moolingwa

yeah, or could have said she was the Eta eater in Australia...but that wouldn't have been helpful

5:35 pm

moolingwa

Eta is a brand of butter spread

5:35 pm

hokie carla

probably not :D, gotta read the room

5:35 pm

moolingwa

pro tip there

5:36 pm

hokie carla

exactly, I know who I can and can't use pop culture clues on

5:37 pm

moolingwa

I would not have gotten the meter maid for instance

5:37 pm

moolingwa

and wouldn't have thought of ms. moreno

5:37 pm

hokie carla

and I know you don't watch tv

5:37 pm

hokie carla

it's a famous beatles song!

5:37 pm

moolingwa

moolingwa

I'm beatles challenged

5:38 pm

hokie carla

ok, so no TV or beatles clues for moo

5:38 pm

moolingwa

and if it's about the beatles appearing on TV, definitely not

5:39 pm

moolingwa

in trivial pursuit, Entertainment was my weakest category, followed by Art&Lit

5:39 pm

hokie carla

Ent. was my strongest

5:40 pm

hokie carla

Art & Lit was rough for me too

5:40 pm

moolingwa

we needed you on our pub trivia team

5:40 pm

hokie carla

sports was always harder than it should be

5:41 pm

moolingwa

Well sports was interesting for me...because I didn't grow up here

5:41 pm

hokie carla

yeah, I usually do well on those at bar/restaurant trivia nights

5:41 pm

hokie carla

yeah, I could see sports being hard for someone who grew up that far away

5:41 pm

moolingwa

We do pretty well most times

5:43 pm

moolingwa

For international sports, like olympics etc not so bad, and hockey I got, but outside of some football knowledge, the basketball and baseball were tough

5:44 pm

hokie carla

yep, makes sense

5:44 pm

moolingwa

still six 7s, and a pair each of 8s and 9s to go

took me 18 minutes to find those

5:49 pm

moolingwa

burden of a big board, easy to miss easy words

5:49 pm

moolingwa

especially when you have letters repeating

5:50 pm

hokie carla

yep, plus I always type so fast at the beginning of big boards that they don't always take and then I think I have the word but I didn't

5:51 pm

moolingwa

yeah, know that

5:52 pm

hokie carla

and now I have all the c's marked on the list but still missing one here. will have to close the list and reenter in bulk to find it.

5:52 pm

moolingwa

still missing 4 cs

5:54 pm

hokie carla

do you have a de6/24 after the bug spray ingredient? I saw hurshy ask for that earlier today and I ei6 didn't wait around for clues or it didn't take.

5:56 pm

5:56 pm

hokie carla

is that a clue or just an imagination exercise?

5:56 pm

moolingwa

clue

5:56 pm

moolingwa

you might have to go back a few centuries though, or perhaps think yacht

5:56 pm

hokie carla

btw, I would be hurling non-stop right now if at sea during this

5:57 pm

moolingwa

yeah, you mentioned you're an acute motion-sickness sufferer

5:58 pm

hokie carla

6:03 pm

hokie carla
