4:26 am

mattygroves

Thank you! I thought I'd tried that, but obviously not

4:42 am

lynxxx

Oh you probably did. I think you need watch out to ensure each word 'enters' ... and who does that!

6:51 am

gingin

hello all. one wonders why halon is not allowed. it is a chemical used in fire extinguishers...

6:51 am

ChampFit

I tried it too

6:52 am

BzznBea

Probably a trademark name

6:55 am

gingin

nope. not trademarked. it is a gaseous compound. one of several halocarbons. i do dislike the dictionary babble uses!

7:18 am

Uneaixoise

200 down!!

7:19 am

BzznBea

Nice work!

7:21 am

ChampFit

gingin, did you see the ha7/8?

7:22 am

BzznBea

Thanks, Champ.

7:23 am

ChampFit

NP!

7:25 am

MollyL

It's a gassy morning here in Babble chat

7:25 am

BzznBea

How are you doing today, Molly?

7:26 am

MollyL

I'm okay Bea. And you?

7:27 am

Uneaixoise

Tx, champfit!

7:28 am

ChampFit

:) I still need 6 - 8's....among other things.

7:28 am

BzznBea

I'm good. Just wondering what will go fubar today?

7:29 am

MollyL

Yeah, I have had that kind of week myself. Here's to better days.

7:31 am

BzznBea

Upstairs AC went out yesterday. Fortunately, Mr. Bea can fix about anything.

7:35 am

Judi

Greetings, y'all.

7:35 am

BzznBea

Good morning, Judi.

7:37 am

Judi

I must protest. "Loogie" is not accepted.

7:38 am

MollyL

Neither is noogie. Tell that to Todd and Lisa Lubner.

7:39 am

MollyL

Bea, you are fortunate to have a man who can "fix almost anything". Most of us dream of that.

7:39 am

Judi

Alas, no modern dictionary for us in Babble land.

7:39 am

MollyL

Oh, it's Lisa Loopner.

7:41 am

BzznBea

Yes, I know how lucky I am, Molly.

7:42 am

BzznBea

The upstairs was 85F when I went up to bed. It cooled off nicely after about an hour. Today, Hubs needs to go get the part that needs replaced.

7:42 am

BzznBea

I will be sewing in a cool room this afternoon.

7:43 am

MollyL

Yay for Mr. Bea!

7:46 am

BzznBea

I'm going to the farmer's market today to buy 10 pounds of peaches. Guess what I will be doing tomorrow

7:46 am

BzznBea

?

7:51 am

MollyL

Peach jam, peach jam

7:51 am

MollyL

Maybe a peach pie for good measure

7:52 am

BzznBea

MMM. Peach pies sounds good too.

7:52 am

MollyL

And cobbler. I love cobbler with fresh peaches.

7:53 am

MollyL

I can't even imagine having to use up 10 pounds of peaches.

7:53 am

BzznBea

I never think to use my oven in the summer.

8:00 am

Judi

Missing the Ti8/60 and the 9 that follows it.

8:00 am

Judi

*Casts line, fishing for clues*

8:01 am

MollyL

Gem stone that starts with a large cat

8:01 am

Judi

Thanks, Molls!

8:01 am

Judi

Time for a break. 154 left.

8:02 am

BzznBea

Thanks, Molly.

8:02 am

BzznBea

Clued at 8:01. =)

BzznBea

8:03 am

hokie carla

8:03 am

Uneaixoise

Tx for the gemstone

8:04 am

hokie carla

got an 8/9 that I assume is the large cat gemstone ;), thx

8:05 am

BzznBea

It flows nicely, Carla. You will like it.

8:06 am

BzznBea

Don't forget te big cat, like I did...

8:08 am

MollyL

What about oogie? Everyone who knows about Annie Wilkes knows oogie is a word. : D

8:11 am

hokie carla

not really flowing for me yet on the top row. maybe those are all hard letters. or I just need to wake up more.

8:14 am

hokie carla

just found a thing in some people's necks - don't see that one here everyday

8:17 am

hokie carla

I think shampoo bottles will disagree about re7 being a word or not

8:20 am

BzznBea

Greyed all the R's...

8:20 am

hokie carla

wow, I can only find 4 on the top one

8:22 am

BzznBea

The stuff in facial creams is there.

8:23 am

hokie carla

thx

8:23 am

hokie carla

kept trying to make the eye part

8:23 am

MollyL

*Men everywhere scratch their heads

8:23 am

BzznBea

LOL!

8:24 am

hokie carla

well at least I got halfway on that r now

8:24 am

BzznBea

Surely, they will remember the beautiful faces of those lovely models.

8:25 am

hokie carla

phantom tonight

8:25 am

MollyL

Oh they appreciate the beauty. Just not what it takes to get there.

8:26 am

hokie carla

I was listening to Conan's podcast with Rob Lowe and he said he's been doing face creams since he was 15.

8:28 am

HarryHood

morning

8:28 am

hokie carla

sup HH

8:28 am

HarryHood

diving in

8:29 am

BzznBea

Rob Lowe is hilarious.

8:30 am

MollyL

I'm so so about Rob Lowe. I liked him on The West Wing.

8:31 am

hokie carla

he also told a story about his first role was an after school special when he was 15 and he asked a girl to watch with him. she invited him to her house and her dad answered the door - Cary Grant! he was saying CG told him he had to do the face creams.

8:32 am

BzznBea

I really like him in the Texas 911 show.

8:32 am

hokie carla

he has his own podcast now but I haven't listened yet

8:32 am

BzznBea

He is all about the hair in that one.

8:32 am

hokie carla

is this like the worst vowel day ever or I just can't see stuff?

8:32 am

MLFAN17

hello

8:33 am

HarryHood

not a promising beginnning here.

8:33 am

BzznBea

I loved the vowels.

8:33 am

HarryHood

tier

8:33 am

HarryHood

gah sorry.

8:33 am

MLFAN17

harry i feel the same way

8:33 am

HarryHood

rough day

8:33 am

hokie carla

hey mlfan

8:33 am

hokie carla

I'm sure you did, bea

8:34 am

hokie carla

we have virtual open house tonight for school

8:34 am

MLFAN17

hey hokie

8:34 am

BzznBea

Are they doing remote learning, Carla?

8:34 am

HarryHood

does each teacher have his/her own zoom room?

8:34 am

HarryHood

and the parents circulate?

8:35 am

MollyL

Virtual...zoom room...this is starting to depress me

8:35 am

HarryHood

you don't know the half of it molly

8:35 am

BzznBea

What about you, Harry? Will be back in the classroom?

8:35 am

MollyL

I can't even imagine being an educator in these times Harry.

8:35 am

HarryHood

yup

8:35 am

HarryHood

some teachers are freaking out

8:36 am

HarryHood

I am more than happy to be back

8:36 am

MollyL

This whole corona virus thing is going to take it's toll on the mental health of society

8:36 am

BzznBea

My daugher has been in her school since Monday. They will not start with kids until after Labor Day.

8:36 am

hokie carla

each teacher already had their own page on the school website. I think it said to go to those and then there's a general one first. I need to read the website before tonight apparently

8:37 am

HarryHood

hey! I found Archie Bunker's way of saying the WC: terlette

8:37 am

MollyL

Patience is a virgin, Harry

8:38 am

hokie carla

there is a city in our county with their own independent school district and one of my neighbors is a principal there. he said yesterday they are actually physically going.

8:38 am

BzznBea

The teachers are in the process of making a video of every one of there lessons. That way, if they have to do remote learning again, the lessons will be done.

8:38 am

hokie carla

harry, do you all use power school? we have for several years now. they can get their schedules from that after 1pm today and then go to the teacher websites tonight

8:39 am

BzznBea

Yes, Carla, so is my daughter's district in KS.

8:39 am

HarryHood

we're on veracross now carla

8:39 am

HarryHood

I'm glad our school is not yet making us do videos.

8:39 am

hokie carla

ah, haven't heard of that one. we also use canvas.

8:40 am

hokie carla

power school is grades and canvas is assignments best I can figure out

8:40 am

BzznBea

Yes, I used power school when I was in the classroom.

8:40 am

HarryHood

we had separate systems, and now this year veracross will replace everything

8:41 am

HarryHood

it's like the borg.

8:42 am

hokie carla

are you public or private schools, harry?

8:42 am

HarryHood

private.

8:43 am

HarryHood

our public schools are opening a couple weeks late

8:43 am

HarryHood

and having tents

8:43 am

hokie carla

we are public. I think we were originally starting at the end of Aug but now it's next Mon.

8:43 am

BzznBea

Tents for classrooms?

8:43 am

hokie carla

tent revival!

8:43 am

HarryHood

yup - to expand and allow for smaller classes

8:44 am

HarryHood

as long as the weather allows

8:44 am

BzznBea

How will that work when it gets cold?

8:44 am

HarryHood

we're not so good at long range planning, bea

8:45 am

hokie carla

maybe they're hoping they'll be able to go into the buildings by then. of course that will be a lot sooner up there than for us here.

8:45 am

BzznBea

LOL! I know that's right. Daughter has said the same thing. Admin says get to work, but we don't know how you will do it. Figure it out.

8:46 am

HarryHood

russia is approving a vaccine, so who knows. they'll all be the guinea pigs of the planet

8:46 am

hokie carla

yeah, I just read about that yesterday. Fauci is very, very skeptical. they basically didn't do phase 3 trials.

8:47 am

BzznBea

Wonder if they paid for that with American bucks...

8:47 am

HarryHood

it's a gamble. if it works they can say "told you so"

8:48 am

hokie carla

they even named it sputnik V so they could say they beat the americans again

8:48 am

HarryHood

hah!

8:50 am

hokie carla

omg, just got to the first s

8:51 am

HarryHood

yikes hadn't seen that. still on the seond row

8:52 am

MollyL

*Writes FIRST S on the CARLA PROGRESS BOARD

8:52 am

BzznBea

I got the last 8...

8:52 am

hokie carla

I wouldn't exactly call it progress. have only 19/44

8:52 am

HarryHood

nice bea! I have no 8s or 9s yet

8:52 am

hokie carla

nice, bea. I have 2!

8:53 am

phaeton

hello...te8 clue pls

8:53 am

hokie carla

there was an 8/9 clue when I signed in this am, HH

8:54 am

HarryHood

yeah I'm sure I'll get to it later

8:54 am

hokie carla

yikes, phae, you just made me look at the other t's.

8:55 am

MollyL

te8 use the te4 before it, add first three of going, going,... and end with sometimes vowel.

8:56 am

phaeton

ty Molly

8:56 am

BzznBea

That te8 is a great concept.

8:56 am

MollyL

I would give you the definition, but I don't quite get it

8:57 am

BzznBea

It is a belief that a woman can get pregnant by one man and the child can have traits of one of her previous partners.

8:57 am

hokie carla

interesting. they are saying a father can influence future half siblings of his kid that he is not father of

8:58 am

MollyL

That is why I don't get it. It doesn't make sense.

8:58 am

hokie carla

I'm glad it is a "former belief"

8:59 am

hokie carla

I guess he is doing it telepathically

9:00 am

hokie carla

and you're welcome to anyone I just gave it away to ;)

9:01 am

BzznBea

Make note of the clue time, Molly.

9:01 am

HarryHood

it's all based on greek legend - wiki it

9:01 am

hokie carla

LOL, it doesn't matter, bea, people won't look

9:02 am

hokie carla

where's moo, he loves the greek stuff doesn't he?

9:04 am

BzznBea

That's what we have discussed, Carla. There was a word yesterday that was clued so much the because no one whould go look for the clue. Lazy bones.

9:04 am

mkg

9:04 am

BzznBea

9:04 am

hokie carla

I even told people to look at the word list in the archives from the day before, but no one wanted to.

9:04 am

hokie carla

morning, mkg

9:05 am

BzznBea

T's done.

9:05 am

hokie carla

holy cow, well done, bea

9:05 am

9:07 am

hokie carla

9:07 am

hokie carla

9:08 am

mkg

9:08 am

hokie carla

there were about an hour ago

9:08 am

BzznBea

Scroll through the chat and the arcives

9:09 am

hokie carla

ooh, grayed the Y!!

9:09 am

HarryHood

wtg carla - it's your lucky day

9:09 am

hokie carla

my first gray tile, molly, since you're tracking my progress ;)

9:09 am

BzznBea

Nice work!

9:09 am

BzznBea

I closed out the Ssss

9:10 am

hokie carla

omg, you are killing it

9:10 am

BzznBea

G's are giving me a fit today.

9:11 am

hokie carla

I have only 15 g's

9:11 am

welki

fyi - loogie is a no go

9:11 am

hokie carla

and apparently noogie

9:11 am

HarryHood

what will we hock?

9:11 am

BzznBea

Nor is noogie or oogie. =)

9:12 am

hokie carla

to truly hock a loogie, it must come from the soul (can anyone name that movie)

9:12 am

HarryHood

oogie was the name of a doll from a great show in the 70s and 80s in NJ. The Uncle Floyd Show.

9:12 am

hokie carla

do not rem. that show

9:12 am

HarryHood

it was on a UHF channel in NJ

9:13 am

HarryHood

Floyd Vivino - he also did radio. Quintessential NJ

9:13 am

hokie carla

ah, probably re6al

9:13 am

MollyL

Wow, I had forgotten all about UHF

9:13 am

BzznBea

We could never get it. We were out in the sticks.

9:14 am

HarryHood

this channel had uncle floyd, and reruns of mr. ed, speed racer, green acres, ... I used to watch so much of it.

9:14 am

hokie carla

I don't really rem. life before cable

9:15 am

HarryHood

In the mid-80s the channel's daytime hours were bought by a precursor to MTV called U-68 that had like 10 music videos and ran them all the time.

9:15 am

hokie carla

though I am sure I predate cable

9:15 am

HarryHood

The nighttime hours were bought by WHT (wometco home theater) which showed dirty movies but scrambled the signal unless you bought a decoder.

9:18 am

hokie carla

we used to try to watch HBO with a scrambled signal. we were actually watching DC Cab that way when the space shuttle exploded (home for snow day)

9:18 am

MollyL

We really are the "decoder" generation. From the secret decoder rings in cereal boxes to decoders for your TV

9:19 am

HarryHood

sometimes the scrambled channel would not even allow you to hear audio - wht had a "barker channel" which was audio for the non-subscribers

9:22 am

HarryHood

gotta go make coffee. later all

9:26 am

hokie carla

I'm going to do things as well. 115 for later.

9:35 am

mkg

that ti 9 is so not one word! it is two words. weird.

9:35 am

BzznBea

The gem stone is one word.

9:35 am

mkg

oooooh ok. forgot about that.

9:38 am

mkg

i dont see clues for any 8s other than the ti 8/9. would love any that you wish to clue. ty

9:59 am

spellit

hurshy

10:45 am

penquis

hello everyone....

10:46 am

hokie carla

hello again, these are seriously the worst vowels I can ever remember

10:47 am

rururocks

yes it's a vowel disorder

10:47 am

hurshy

what, you want it to be full of Us?

10:47 am

Book Doctor Gwen

these vowels might be impacted

10:47 am

hokie carla

having trouble finding them!

10:48 am

penquis

well they are useful enough to be used in 294 words... ;o)

10:48 am

hurshy

har har har gwen

10:48 am

hokie carla

yeah, but the words they start are my problem

10:49 am

hurshy

like EL7, one who writes a poem of wistful memory?

10:50 am

penquis

just found that word....

10:50 am

penquis

at least it's a "real" word... ;o)

10:51 am

Book Doctor Gwen

loogie (not a word)

10:51 am

hokie carla

nor noogie

10:53 am

hokie carla

I did manage half the a's

10:53 am

hokie carla

and half of all the o's

10:54 am

hokie carla

the e's are elusive

10:54 am

hurshy

i'm only missing one O

10:54 am

hokie carla

from which tile?

10:55 am

cybernan

maybe a lot of in"sight"ful words

10:57 am

hurshy

got 4 of the i words

10:58 am

redshoes

Hello all. II'm surprised "login" isn't a word.

10:58 am

hurshy

hello redshoes

10:58 am

penquis

Enable is too outdated for that word....

11:00 am

rururocks

i am having to put words in again that i put in a while ago that really pisses me off

11:00 am

redshoes

Ugh, I hate that ruru

11:01 am

MollyL

There has to be a way to fix that. It happens to me a lot too.

11:02 am

hurshy

i don't get why, i like, never have that happen

11:02 am

cybernan

maybe if you refresh, close out and come back in?

11:02 am

redshoes

Sometimes I just chalk it up to fat-fingering typos or my aging mind. :)

11:02 am

hurshy

why does it happen to some people and not others

11:03 am

MollyL

Browser?

dk, but it has happened to me....more often lately....

11:03 am

hurshy

google chrome here, on a macbook

11:03 am

MollyL

Those using Lickety vs those not? Mac vs PC?

11:03 am

penquis

Chrome....on a pc....

11:04 am

redshoes

I use Chrome on both a Mac and a PC

11:04 am

MollyL

Chrome on a PC as well.

11:04 am

hurshy

i do not ever use lickety's entering system, i only use the printable list when i want to get a list

11:05 am

penquis

i have only noticed the problem when I have listed....using Expert....

11:05 am

redshoes

I can't imagine it having anything to do with LIckety

11:06 am

cybernan

why not redshoes?

11:06 am

Book Doctor Gwen

i use the Babble Expert program, which I believe is built on MS Internet Explorer -- I almost never have to retype words

11:07 am

redshoes

I didn't know about Babble Expert until now. I've never used it, but would love to try it.

11:08 am

cybernan

doesn't work quite as well with edge, but not bad

11:08 am

penquis

seems to work fine with Chrome...

11:08 am

hokie carla

I use Safari on Mac and have this missing words problem frequently on large grids, noticed it on the big one the other day

11:08 am

MollyL

I'm not a big fan of Edge

11:08 am

Book Doctor Gwen

i forgot -- do you email Dr. God to get Babble Expert?

11:08 am

redshoes

It does get tiresome having to type words into both Babble and Lickety. I wait until I get at least half-way, then bulk add to LIckety and continue working between the two from there.

11:09 am

penquis

me either...

Book Doctor Gwen

thanks youse guys

11:10 am

hokie carla

I only bulk add to Lickety when I've decided I can't find anymore and open his site. I think maybe my problem is with the big grids I go on big runs and type a lot of words really fast and so they don't all take.

11:11 am

hurshy

ok so let's try not using safari then hokie

11:11 am

redshoes

ooooh thanks!

11:11 am

Book Doctor Gwen

yeah, if i type really fast i start missing letters, or getting double letters, and no joy for those

11:12 am

MollyL

Or not typing really fast

11:12 am

hurshy

lol

11:12 am

hokie carla

I did use chrome for a long time, don't remember why I went to safari. I think there was something I was trying to do and it wouldn't work on chrome.

11:12 am

MollyL

I know there are people who think it is, but it's really not a race

11:13 am

hokie carla

I gotta type them in before I forget them!

11:13 am

hokie carla

that's the only reason I type them fast

11:14 am

penquis

i always type fast at the start....leftover habit from playing competitive Boggle....

11:14 am

Book Doctor Gwen

inhalt (German: contents, as in "table of contents")

11:15 am

hurshy

so basically, people are mad at the technology for their own typing mistakes?

11:15 am

hurshy

is that the conclusion we're coming to?

11:15 am

penquis

not mine....there are words that I am certain I had typed in correctly....

11:15 am

Book Doctor Gwen

well, we are using akeyboard layout deisgned specifially to slow down typing speed -- from the early days of typewriters

11:16 am

hurshy

true dat gwen, i always find that so funny

11:16 am

bichon

11:20 am

Book Doctor Gwen

only 4 here

11:20 am

hokie carla

no, I'm typing correctly but entering before the other one is registered (my theory)

11:20 am

MollyL

I thought that was a myth about the QWERTY keyboard being designed to slow typing down

11:20 am

hokie carla

I too have 4 ty

11:20 am

penquis

i have 6....not sure if there are more TY words....

12:15 pm

hokie carla

12:16 pm

12:17 pm

hokie carla

12:19 pm

12:20 pm

moolingwa

12:21 pm

hurshy

12:22 pm

moolingwa

tx, me too

12:22 pm

moolingwa

the re7?

12:22 pm

hokie carla

el7

12:22 pm

hokie carla

so es8 is a regular word or you all just saw it immediately because you're that good

12:22 pm

moolingwa

oh, vaguely sounds like someone who delivers a speech at a funeral

12:23 pm

hokie carla

got it, thx

12:23 pm

hurshy

el 7 ends with ... when you get the general idea of something you get the g***

12:23 pm

hokie carla

like the person who wrote "Hillbilly El5"

12:23 pm

hokie carla

but still looking for es8

12:23 pm

hurshy

no, es8 is not a regular word, but i had an es6 and knowing that the 8 had to come after that it was doable

12:24 pm

moolingwa

yeah, I had the 6 too

12:24 pm

hokie carla

yeah, I only have 2 from that e so need to look for the 6

12:24 pm

moolingwa

sounds like a type of stone ending

12:25 pm

moolingwa

eyesnot is so too a word

12:25 pm

hokie carla

I've heard of eye boogers but not eyesnot

12:25 pm

moolingwa

same difference

12:26 pm

moolingwa

that G has been more work that it should be

12:26 pm

hokie carla

yeah, I still need 10 there

12:26 pm

hokie carla

9

12:26 pm

moolingwa

down to 2, but it's been a slog, and they've mostly been easy words

12:26 pm

hurshy

yeah, i wouldn't have thought you could get that alt spelling for the thing that people can have where their thyroid is enlarged

12:27 pm

hokie carla

I have the thing, not seeing how it could be spelled differently

12:27 pm

hurshy

the way that some words like "center" can be britishized

12:28 pm

moolingwa

oh, well being americanly challenged, that was easier for me

12:28 pm

hokie carla

ah, I never see those, thx

12:28 pm

moolingwa

don't forget the rhyming word, if you don't have it already

12:29 pm

hokie carla

12:37 pm

hokie carla

anything's possible with re words

12:38 pm

moolingwa

A recent report from the Federal Trade Commission revealed that Americans have lost more than $77 million in coronavirus-related fraud since the pandemic began."

12:43 pm

moolingwa

yep

12:44 pm

People were panicked and desperate. Just what swindlers prey on.

12:44 pm

moolingwa

there's been a noteable increase in insurance fraud

12:46 pm

hokie carla

I keep getting texts from people wanting to buy my house. it is apparently in Columbia, SC, and I do not own any houses there. I can't figure out if it's some kind of scam and if so, how it would work, or if somehow my cell number actually is on record with this address mistakenly.

12:47 pm

moolingwa

I get them from Florida, though I did used to own a house there at least

12:47 pm

12:49 pm

moolingwa

yw peri

12:49 pm

hokie carla

yep. have had this number since 1995, early in widespread mobile phone use so has to be a typo or Robert changed it by one digit to throw people off on something

12:50 pm

moolingwa

I get tonnes of spam calls from florida though

12:50 pm

moolingwa

most of them spoofed numbers

12:50 pm

periwinkle

what is a spoofed number

12:51 pm

hokie carla

yeah, I've been getting OH ones lately, but they do love to spoof local to me here numbers

12:51 pm

hokie carla

peri, they make it look like a number that it isn't

12:51 pm

moolingwa

Well caller id uses a data tag that identifies the caller

12:51 pm

hokie carla

so you think someone local is calling you but it's usually a robocall

12:51 pm

moolingwa

when calling from a computer, certain software can put in whatever the caller wants as the originator

12:51 pm

moolingwa

So you get a "spoofed" number, meaning it's made up, or is attempting to look legitimarte

12:52 pm

moolingwa

I've even had my own number call me :)

12:52 pm

periwinkle

me too mool

12:52 pm

periwinkle

and numbers very similar to mine have called me

12:52 pm

hokie carla

they also like to spoof emails - happens to me quite regularly. my friends are like, you're sending this out, when it didn't actually come from me.

12:52 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i get robocalls a lot, almost always with my own area code and exchange spoofed (xxx-xxx-0000)

12:53 pm

moolingwa

I still have my miami number, and I get a lot of calls on the 305 prefix...which is a good clue it's spam, because the only other 305 number I talk to is my wife :)

12:53 pm

periwinkle

I do not answer any number that I do not recognize. if it ls legit they will leave a message

12:53 pm

moolingwa

exactly Gwen

12:53 pm

hokie carla

actually my friends always say I've been hacked, but that's not the case, they're just making it look like my email.

12:53 pm

clg47

I've even had a call to me from my own number.

12:53 pm

moolingwa

has happened to me too 47

12:53 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i run a small business from my home so I do indeed answer these stupid calls, jus tin case

12:54 pm

hokie carla

someone called my brother's boss at work and told her to stop calling them or they'd call the police. she was like, what??

12:54 pm

moolingwa

yeah if you get text from a 410 number it typically means it's coming via an email software

12:55 pm

moolingwa

I'm getting all these spam texts for "arthur"

12:55 pm

hokie carla

why can't you be sn5-y?

12:56 pm

moolingwa

indeed, I know it's not good, but try it all the time anyway

12:56 pm

moolingwa

just in case there's been a glitch in the space-time continuum

12:56 pm

hokie carla

like mosh, ramen, and countless others for me

12:57 pm

moolingwa

conman, ironman

12:57 pm

moolingwa

conure

12:57 pm

moolingwa

halon

12:57 pm

moolingwa

login...which is also topical

12:57 pm

hokie carla

weird about conman, there's so many other strange -man -men words that are allowed

12:58 pm

moolingwa

yep, many of these words got added in newer versions of the dictionary

12:58 pm

moolingwa

but we're living in the past :)

12:58 pm

hokie carla

oh, mailman (speaking of men words) just delivered my package that they claimed they were unsuccessful at yesterday. glad I didn't drive to PO to try to pick it up!

12:58 pm

moolingwa

there's been a few words, removed and added back again too

12:59 pm

moolingwa

das was one, I know emfs got removed after this version, but think it may have been added back again

12:59 pm

hokie carla

thought I was making some headway on the 4's but have only found 5 :D

12:59 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

please be gentle with the post office -- they have been under attack for years and are now under extreme attack

12:59 pm

hokie carla

yeah, emfs is bogus

12:59 pm

moolingwa

I've found 3 since we shared stats :)

1:00 pm

moolingwa

well gotta go for a bit, may be back later for my last 20

1:00 pm

hokie carla

I would be fine gwen, if it made sense

1:01 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

you mean the attacks on the post office?

1:02 pm

hokie carla

if they had said, it's not coming today but will arrive tomorrow, fine. but they said they attempted and couldn't do it and it was being held by them for me to pick up and none of that was true. just no transparency.

1:03 pm

hokie carla

wondering how I got eg6 but not eg4

1:03 pm

hokie carla

bye, moo

1:03 pm

MollyL

How is the post office under extreme attack?

1:03 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

ah, I see. sounds like an ordinary screwup with a dash of cover your ass LOL

1:04 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

have you not heard what president ***** has been doing to the post office?

1:04 pm

ChampFit

This is happening all over the place. Just happened to my daughters over the weekend. There was no attempt at delivery...we were all here. Yet the notice said that.

1:04 pm

clg47

Stuck & looking for re5,14 I have the one to go back on ones word

1:05 pm

MollyL

You have to walk up about 15 steps to get to my sister's front door. The post office has repeatedly marked deliveries as "unsuccessful" because the delivery person is too lazy to get out and walk up the steps. I send her packages through my nephew now.

1:06 pm

hokie carla

yes, I agree with your assessment in my case, gwen. I would have really been angry if I had driven 15 min to the PO to pick it up like they told me to, waited in line inside with other people, only to be told it's out on the truck.

1:06 pm

hokie carla

47, the other is to do something again to a sailboat for instance

1:06 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

Here are some of the things Republicans have been doing to EFF UP our postal system.

1:07 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

1. they recently killed all overtime. This means if your carrier has leftover items to deliver, they don't get delivered till the next day. The next day they pile of leftovers is even bigger. and so on.

1:08 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

2. a few years ago they passed a low required USPS to fund its pension plan for the next 75 years. This is called a poison pill.

1:08 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

3. the new postmaster general has literally been telling the USPS to slow down

1:09 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

4. they are trying to scare everyone with made-up stories about how unsafe USPS is, to prevent people from voting by mail

1:10 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

5. just found out today, in Iowa, and who knows where else, they are literally removing sorting machines in order to slow delivery to a crawl

1:10 pm

mael

it's so blatantly absurd, I can't even believe we're having to talk about sabotaging the damn USPS. But here we are.

1:11 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

people get their pills through the mail. i have friends who are being left waiting for pain medication. it is criminal.

1:11 pm

clg47

txs hokie carla. I also think the census is being played with. Have a friend who has gone through 4 supervisors and the several supervisors supervisor.

1:11 pm

hokie carla

yeah, have not heard any of this. crazy

1:12 pm

hokie carla

my youngest son is still getting at least 2 college mailings a day

1:12 pm

clg47

Anyway I am going to start mailing my tax payments.

1:13 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i sell books online and the post office, overall, is the best service for shipping small packages

1:14 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

lately i have been letting customer know there might be delays

1:15 pm

clg47

My husband has a business that does the same and the post office is the best.

1:16 pm

hokie carla

well, slowed way down again here with 73 left. taking a break. good luck, y'all.

1:16 pm

clg47

Fireworks! Off to garden.

1:16 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

2:02 pm

HarryHood

OK - good to hear. 69 to go, taking a break

2:05 pm

MollyL

Nan, what are you cluing?

2:06 pm

cybernan

the nm - was getting mixed up with the al 5

2:07 pm

cybernan

al 5 ends in the anagram not el 5

2:07 pm

cybernan

I should probably go back and read the chat again after being away for a while

2:08 pm

MollyL

Oh, okay, I was confused as there are no el words.

2:08 pm

cybernan

ge 6 please?

2:08 pm

MollyL

The oriental "girl" that all the men like

2:09 pm

cybernan

ty molly

2:10 pm

cybernan

everything else in here gets misspelled -- why not the hungarian dish?

2:11 pm

Habes

There is an el word

2:12 pm

cybernan

there are two el words

2:12 pm

Habes

There are two of them.

2:17 pm

2:44 pm

cybernan

*!*~*!* hagd everyone and stay safe :)

2:55 pm

MollyL

Pardon, there are no el5

3:07 pm

4:41 pm

origami

You're welcome!

4:48 pm

hokie carla

went to the list - back to the earlier convo - I have found several words already that I know I entered.

4:53 pm

hokie carla

we also have et6 a lot and I never get it before the list

4:57 pm

ChampFit

In your defense, it was backwards today. I'm never good going that direction.

4:57 pm

hokie carla

me either

4:58 pm

hokie carla

I can actually read backward okay, but if I'm not looking for it I can't see it.

4:59 pm

ChampFit

Yep.

5:01 pm

phandmd

having fun prepping for my colonoscopy tomorrow... (I know TMI...)

5:02 pm

hokie carla

ugh, horrible

5:02 pm

hokie carla

not sure how I didn't throw that stuff up

5:03 pm

phandmd

It's awful. I haven't even started the drink yet. Just the 3 ducolax taken. I start the drink at 8pm... Already having the desired effect and it's only been 30 mins!

5:05 pm

origami

It's very unpleasant.

5:06 pm

hokie carla

yeah, are you doing the split drink, one tonight and one in the morning? it's amazing there's still anything left after all that!

5:06 pm

phandmd

I appreciate the sympathy. You know misery loves company...

5:06 pm

hokie carla

yep

5:06 pm

phandmd

tier

5:07 pm

phandmd

sorry...

5:07 pm

hokie carla

oddly my BP was like 100/60 that morning and that drink tastes like straight sodium

5:08 pm

phandmd

probably because despite the high sodium, you loose a lot of fluid due to... Well, you know...

5:09 pm

hokie carla

probably

5:09 pm

hokie carla

good luck with everything!

5:10 pm

phandmd

Thanks.

5:15 pm

hokie carla

still 7 left after going through the list.

5:15 pm

hokie carla

some of them I know the 3rd or 4th letter and still can't find

5:22 pm

SuzeeQ24

ty carla...worked all around that one

5:22 pm

phandmd

Thanks, Molly

5:22 pm

hokie carla

the definition is even weirder

5:22 pm

phandmd

trying to figure out the defeat part of that clue...

5:23 pm

hokie carla

what are you in right now, not misery, but another word

5:24 pm

lynxxx

or The A**** & The Ecstasy

5:24 pm

phandmd

ah! Thanks!

5:25 pm

phandmd

interesting definition...

5:25 pm

phandmd

5:25 pm

phandmd

5:25 pm

phandmd

5:26 pm

origami

Wasn't sure if you were taking a needed break or just typed in the wrong box :D

5:26 pm

hokie carla

haha, very timely

5:27 pm

SuzeeQ24

lol

5:31 pm

hokie carla

just spent a long time for the 2nd time trying to figure out last re6/18 and finally realized I was starting at the wrong R

5:32 pm

moolingwa

okay, back to see if I can knock off some of these remaining 20

5:32 pm

moolingwa

have 29 minutes, so probably not all of them

5:32 pm

hokie carla

moo! I just have 1 left, but I went to the list a while back. quite a few of my missing 4's were 4's I actually already entered this morning.

5:33 pm

moolingwa

oh bummer

5:34 pm

hokie carla

last one is tr6/18 and I cannot get it. I saw nan ask for a clue earlier but then she found it.

5:34 pm

moolingwa

looking

5:34 pm

moolingwa

I have three tr 6/18

5:34 pm

moolingwa

actually more than that

5:34 pm

moolingwa

probably one of two

5:34 pm

hokie carla

there are 5

5:34 pm

moolingwa

the firs one....do you know the french word for never?

5:35 pm

moolingwa

I have 5 of them

5:36 pm

hokie carla

I'm missing the one after the groups of threes

5:37 pm

moolingwa

oh, lovers have them

5:37 pm

moolingwa

alternate spelling

5:38 pm

moolingwa

but it's a french word too meaning sad or melancholy

5:38 pm

Wendrie

add a consonant to the middle of the te 5/10 immediately after

5:38 pm

moolingwa

so probably pronounced more like the p word that has the same ending

5:38 pm

moolingwa

not that there's a p in this board

5:39 pm

hokie carla

whoa, too much flying around at once - I looked it up. thanks, though, both of you.

5:39 pm

hokie carla

what letters do you need, moo?

5:40 pm

moolingwa

A bunch

5:40 pm

moolingwa

still missing one 8

5:40 pm

moolingwa

and one 7

5:41 pm

moolingwa

A,E,E,E,G,G,I,L,L,L,L,R,R,R,S,S,T,T,T,\nT

5:41 pm

hokie carla

do you have te8? harry said it was ancient greek related. really weird one.

5:41 pm

moolingwa

ah

5:42 pm

moolingwa

that'll be the 8

5:42 pm

Wendrie

te8 - the idea that an exlover can pass on traits to future children

5:43 pm

moolingwa

is it off the 4th column of 5th?

5:44 pm

hokie carla

there is an ey7 similar to the one you were trying to make earlier

5:44 pm

hokie carla

5th col T

5:44 pm

moolingwa

yeah, have that

5:44 pm

hokie carla

is7?

5:45 pm

MollyL

That many characters in the chat promotes a /n

5:46 pm

moolingwa

apparently the code for the chat inserted a newline character in my text :)

5:46 pm

MollyL

Or a \n...spaces....we need spaces

5:46 pm

hokie carla

most of the 7s are plural or I know you already have them

5:46 pm

moolingwa

space, the final frontier

5:46 pm

moolingwa

yeah, it's the is7

5:47 pm

moolingwa

I was playing with it before, will take another look

5:47 pm

MollyL

It is to prevent long urls and people who like to post multiple punctuation mars

5:47 pm

moolingwa

got it, thanks

5:47 pm

hokie carla

as6

5:47 pm

moolingwa

yep, was missing that one...got it thanks

5:48 pm

hokie carla

you have all the eo's I think, so not sure. there is el6 I had to look up.

5:48 pm

hokie carla

I was missing e4 alt spelling, which sometimes you miss the easy ones

5:49 pm

moolingwa

yeah, missing the el6

5:49 pm

hokie carla

ge6? ge5 or gi5?

5:50 pm

moolingwa

have one gi5 and one ge5

5:50 pm

hokie carla

2 gi5s

5:51 pm

hokie carla

alt sp of a q no u word

5:51 pm

hokie carla

of course it's a foreign coin

5:51 pm

hokie carla

L's only have a couple of odd ones but nothing I haven't seen here before.

5:51 pm

moolingwa

indeed, why wouldn't it be

5:52 pm

moolingwa

ah there's the gi5

5:53 pm

moolingwa

and the ge6

5:53 pm

hokie carla

too many s's and t's to guess from

5:54 pm

moolingwa

yep

5:54 pm

hokie carla

did you finish the 4's? there's s4/5 combo that's kinda weird

5:54 pm

moolingwa

Have the s4/5 combo that is kinda weird

5:54 pm

hokie carla

well I guess not for a maths person

5:54 pm

moolingwa

it's an anagram of another 4 that is weird

5:55 pm

moolingwa

though that's not in the board

5:55 pm

hokie carla

sr that I always miss?

5:55 pm

moolingwa

oh yeah, duh

5:55 pm

moolingwa

another palindrome

5:55 pm

moolingwa

or rather a word you can spell backwards

5:56 pm

moolingwa

I do better when it has the h in it

5:56 pm

SuzeeQ24

for some reason I am having trouble with the te words

5:56 pm

moolingwa

oh duh, easy 4 I'd missed

5:56 pm

moolingwa

should have used them and I would have seen it

5:57 pm

hokie carla

they are tricky, suzee

5:57 pm

hokie carla

lol

5:57 pm

Wendrie

it's astonishing which easy/common words you miss...

5:57 pm

hokie carla

there are 8 ey's

5:58 pm

moolingwa

well at least I have all those now

5:58 pm

hokie carla

there is an et I always miss

5:59 pm

moolingwa

ah, there's that last 8

5:59 pm

moolingwa

I keep overlooking that last letter

6:02 pm

moolingwa

and yes, I had missed the et as well, though normally get it...think it was the direction that got me that time

6:02 pm

moolingwa

another easy 4 found

6:02 pm

moolingwa

at least it wasn't my "last" one

6:04 pm

moolingwa

well, gotta go...have 10 left but certainly appreciate the help

6:07 pm

Wendrie

I'm off - tis midnight here, I've got 86 left but will be back tomorrow ;) Night all.
