hurshy

and the noun that would go with the adjective pa8

11:06 am

moolingwa

yes

11:07 am

11:07 am

hurshy

lol

11:08 am

hokie carla

11:12 am

hurshy

11:13 am

moolingwa

birds and words hursh :)

11:13 am

hokie carla

LOL, I was thinking I'm going to have to google that bird. I think moo has mentioned before bird watching is one of his hobbies.

11:13 am

hokie carla

11:14 am

moolingwa

https://tinyurl.com/y6b6qqp4

11:14 am

hurshy

i do my part for the birds by having indoor-only cats :D

11:16 am

moolingwa

I endorse your position hursh, I also have indoor cats, much to the chagrin of two of them

11:16 am

hokie carla

we sadly get a lot of birds hitting our windows. most of them fly off again

11:16 am

moolingwa

no, the n's are not

11:16 am

hokie carla

I do my part by having no cats

11:16 am

moolingwa

I've had a long-eared owl, an american robin, a collared dove (didn't make it), some mourning doves too

11:16 am

hurshy

na4/7, that should help you get that one

11:17 am

moolingwa

I had one morning dove that left an outline that looked very angelic

11:17 am

hurshy

the mourning doves were probably mourning the collared dove

11:17 am

moolingwa

they must have had future sight then ;)

11:17 am

hurshy

na5/10 and no4 means black in french

11:18 am

hokie carla

we had a hummingbird once that wasn't dead, just stunned. I read they take a while to get going again once stopped

11:18 am

moolingwa

11:18 am

hurshy

11:18 am

hokie carla

11:18 am

moolingwa

It's not like you just started word games right hoke?

11:19 am

hokie carla

feels like it sometimes, doesn't it

11:19 am

moolingwa

Well a couple of days ago dare was one of my last words :)

11:19 am

hokie carla

11:19 am

hokie carla

11:20 am

hurshy

11:20 am

hurshy

po5

11:20 am

hurshy

11:21 am

moolingwa

oh sorry hursh was wrapped up in my own punly thinking and didn't see the request

11:21 am

moolingwa

I just got a rough one for my daughter...she's into that sort of thing

11:22 am

hokie carla

I'm still trying to figure out how to make an na5/10. not a lot of ways to go there.

11:22 am

hokie carla

doh, the last thing I tried

11:22 am

moolingwa

well I would be surprised if you tried other things after you found it :)

11:22 am

hokie carla

20 left ugh

11:23 am

hurshy

you got a rough one of t5?

11:23 am

hokie carla

my missing M?

11:23 am

moolingwa

probably the obscure plural

11:23 am

hurshy

do you have the one that ends with two of the same vowel, hokie

11:23 am

hokie carla

moo, you should not be surprised by that, I do that all the time

11:24 am

hokie carla

that's it, hurshy, thx

11:27 am

hurshy

11:28 am

moolingwa

11:34 am

hokie carla

LOL

11:35 am

hokie carla

my friend (same age as me) and I used to do a lot of that's what she said jokes, etc. and these guys in their 20s would look at us like WTF

11:36 am

moolingwa

11:37 am

moolingwa

firemen and that women's hockey team...some of the most colorful conversations I've been privy to

11:37 am

hokie carla

hmm, am I going to find this pa8?

11:37 am

moolingwa

If you don't find it, it's probably because the Russians are keeping you from seeing it

11:38 am

hokie carla

ah, thx

11:40 am

hokie carla

now I have that song by some girl band in my head

11:40 am

12:41 pm

hokie carla

4:52 pm

Gillie

I found the pa6 pretty early, but I can't say that I knew it. I just thought it seemed like a plausible word.

4:57 pm

Gillie

Last word to5 - can't believe it took me so long.
