5:11 am

lbdawger

nm found it!

5:11 am

mattygroves

I haven't. Is it a 'real word'? :) And good morning

5:45 am

MollyL

Starts like cash ends with not walked

5:46 am

MollyL

"Real word" is debatable, as usual.

6:03 am

mattygroves

True. Never heard of that word, it must be said. Thank you!

6:06 am

MollyL

Seriously, where do they come up with these words? "Relating to a taxonomic kingdom of prokaryotic organisms that typically reproduce by asexual budding or fission and have a nutritional mode of absorption, photosynthesis, or chemosynthesis, comprising the bacteria, blue-green algae, and various primitive pathogens."

Do I do that? Why yes, indeed I do ;)

7:27 am

godthaab

Morewords used to give you all possible combinations of words with a word. It no longer does this. Is it me, or the system?

8:00 am

MollyL

Not sure what you mean. If you type ea----- morewords will give you all 7 letter words that start with ea

8:50 am

BzznBea

Good morning, friends.

8:50 am

hokie carla

Bea! what's the word?

8:51 am

BzznBea

It is a muscle spasm in her lower back. It took 12 hours in the

8:52 am

hokie carla

wow

8:52 am

BzznBea

ER yesterday to tell us that. She was treated terribly.

8:52 am

hokie carla

sorry to hear that

8:53 am

BzznBea

She is still having a lot of pain and can hardly move. We have borrowed a wheel chair to get her around. I have a call into her PCP.

8:53 am

Uneaixoise

So sorry, Bea :-(

8:54 am

rururocks

is she on anti-inflamitories?

8:54 am

rururocks

i'm so sorry she had to go to the hospital to begin with

8:54 am

BzznBea

Not sure. They gave her a muscle relaxer.

8:55 am

Judi

Good morning, all.

8:55 am

rururocks

good morning ms judi

8:56 am

BzznBea

She had nothing to eat or drink for 10 hours. They did not give her a mask. She had to go to the bathroom at 6am and even though she asked freqeuntly, she didn't get to the bathroo until she got home after 6pm.

8:56 am

Judi

Back spasms suck. Anti-inflammatories and a heating pad on the lowest setting can be your best friend in situations like that. (*speaks from experience*)

8:56 am

BzznBea

Good morning, judi.

8:58 am

hokie carla

ugh, that sounds awful

8:59 am

rururocks

sounds like a letter to the administrator of the hospital is in order bea

9:01 am

BzznBea

I called the er several times to ask about her. I know they were busy, but got disconnected twice. When I got connected to the atteding, he gave me the medical speil and then hung up on me.

9:02 am

sukee

Could that have something to do with the high cases of COVID?

9:02 am

rururocks

is she home now?

9:02 am

rururocks

that wasn't clear to me

9:03 am

BzznBea

When I went to pick her up, she was sitting in a corner of the ER waiting room without hospital staff and without a mask.

9:03 am

rururocks

omg

9:04 am

BzznBea

I'm sure that is part of it, Sukee. They are short health care workers.

9:04 am

Judi

That is terrible. They should have provided her with a mask. Now she'll have to be tested for Covid in the near future. As will you, Bea.

9:04 am

MollyL

Bea, that is horrible and yes, a letter to the person in charge at the hospital is in order. COVID or not, your mother should not have been treated like that.

9:04 am

BzznBea

Yes, she is home.

9:05 am

MollyL

Why would Bea or her mother have to be tested?

9:06 am

hokie carla

I think only if they are contact traced would they have to be. hopefully the hospital keeps the covid patients separate as I've heard others do.

9:07 am

sukee

A doctor was on TV here today said he had to keep a woman with a heart attack in the ER because there was no room in ICU.

9:07 am

rururocks

but the waiting room could be infected hokie

9:07 am

hokie carla

but it does sound like she was horribly treated.

9:07 am

Judi

Just being in an ER would make me leery of the whole Covid thing. But, if there was separation, perhaps she need not be tested.

9:08 am

MollyL

Well, if being around people means you need to be tested than we all need to get tested every time we grocery shop.

9:09 am

BzznBea

I'll see what her PCP says about testing. She was socially distanced fro those in the room.

9:09 am

Judi

I just think it's safe to assume you might be exposed to COVID when you enter a hospital.

9:09 am

hokie carla

obviously an ER would have a higher likelihood of someone sick coming in, but maybe they have protocols for when that happens

9:11 am

Judi

Off to do other things. See y'all later.

9:13 am

MollyL

No wonder people are afraid to go to the hospital.

9:13 am

Aloyisius

Bye Judi, hi all. Bea, so sorry for your mom's pain and treatment

9:14 am

rururocks

i'd be afraid to go to a hospital right now

9:16 am

hokie carla

I was afraid when my dad went a couple of times but he & my mom never caught it.

9:21 am

cherlyq

yeah i went to the hospital with gallbladder attack and ended up with covid from the hospital it does happen

9:21 am

Aloyisius

ooh cheryl..hope you are ok now?

9:22 am

cherlyq

yes, over covid and got gallbladder out last week

9:22 am

pcal2

hi all, has anyone clued qu5,18?

9:23 am

rururocks

q + most of one of our players call names

9:23 am

hokie carla

i don't know, pcal but no other vowels

9:23 am

hokie carla

9:24 am

pcal2

9:24 am

hokie carla

ru, we have a player that is q + the whole call name

9:25 am

Aloyisius

q + a mixed up word that means to hurry along .. the Christmas **** is on at the post office now

9:26 am

Aloyisius

mix up the **** and you have it

9:26 am

pcal2

Got it! Thanks Aloy!

9:26 am

mkg

Hi all. Need a clue for the 8s!

9:26 am

rururocks

true.. forgot about the south african player

9:27 am

hokie carla

ok, I just entered a ch5 that I definitely had not entered but it was there. that means I mistyped something earlier and think I got that word but didn't

9:27 am

Aloyisius

I do that a lot hokie

9:28 am

LuvWordGames

here's an 8 - people who are in favor of harvesting coal from the ground

9:28 am

hokie carla

haha, just figured it out. I thought it was a plural of another word, but it has another meaning

9:34 am

hokie carla

alright 92 left after first pass. going to get some things done before I get sucked into an all-day'er

9:34 am

cybernan

10:40 am

cybernan

I've run out of ideas for words and there are still 120 left in there

hokie carla

11:03 am

welki

morning, folks

11:10 am

hokie carla

thx, phae

11:10 am

MollyL

mkg, you know the term for coal people. Loretta Lynn's story Coal M6 Daughter

11:12 am

hokie carla

yeah, but that's a 5/6. I wasn't sure what luv's clue meant relating to that either.

11:13 am

hokie carla

<---waiting for someone to say they don't know who Loretta Lynn is

11:19 am

welki

i liked 'blue kentucky girl,' and even more by emmy lou harris

11:23 am

MollyL

Well in favor of prefix (people who are in favor of) harvesting coal...I got Luvwordgames clue.

11:25 am

BzznBea

mkg is still trying to get an 8...

11:26 am

MollyL

And Luvwordgames clue was for pr8

11:27 am

BzznBea

I've only grazed the surface of this gird. 69 words...

11:29 am

welki

hi bea - i read about your mother's (and your) ordeal - i hope she finds some pain relief and that you both stay well

11:30 am

BzznBea

Thank you, welki. She is doing okay for now. Back in bed for a while. Back seems to be better but now she complains of her left arm because she has used those muscles to get up and down so much.

11:31 am

welki

this virus is driving all of us batty - we're urged to support local businesses, so we ordered pizza last night. the online payment wouldn't work for contact-less delivery, so we had to pay in person. usually okay, except the numbskull shows up with his mask below his nose - i figured it just slipped down, told him to wait (behind the closed door) until i put my own mask on - when i returned, his whole face was exposed, and his mask was hanging below his chin. moron.

11:32 am

welki

after being on a hospital bed/stretcher all day, i'm sure she'll be sore for a few days :(

11:33 am

welki

(and when i told him to put his mask on, he looked at me like i'd lost my mind.)

11:34 am

welki

in retrospect, i should have just refused the order and let him explain to his boss.

11:36 am

BzznBea

I woulld still call the manager of the pizzareia.

11:38 am

phaeton

co6/27?

11:38 am

hokie carla

oh, those were my last 2 P's, thanks for the clue, Luv, and thanks for clarifying, molly

11:48 am

BzznBea

11:49 am

hokie carla

11:49 am

MollyL

Yes, the eye words are weird

11:49 am

cybernan

ahah --- 99 bottles of words on the wall

11:50 am

MollyL

Wait, Nan knows 99 Bottles of Beer on The Wall?

11:50 am

hokie carla

well, that's been around a long time

11:51 am

cybernan

yes -- since my parents time I think

11:51 am

hokie carla

11:51 am

cybernan

so probably 100 years at least

11:52 am

cybernan

un and ur 5 are the only ones I have

11:53 am

hokie carla

I have a un5. ah, I think I see the ur5, thx

11:54 am

hokie carla

oh, just found another 7/8 - shirley's boyfriend on laverne & shirley

11:55 am

cybernan

didn't watch that show

11:56 am

cybernan

stats?

11:56 am

hokie carla

same as the ha 7/8 but different starting cons.

11:57 am

cybernan

ty carla

11:57 am

hokie carla

now just need 1 8

11:57 am

cybernan

the tp is there too , but not accepted :)

11:58 am

hokie carla

yep, already tried it

11:58 am

cybernan

still need 8 x3

11:58 am

hokie carla

one goes with vitamins

12:00 pm

mattygroves

Hah - Carla - I got that clue immediately - nicely done!

12:01 pm

cybernan

can't think of anything that goes with vitamins other than pill or capsule

12:01 pm

cybernan

what are the stats, please?

12:01 pm

mattygroves

Vitamins with rocks in it, Nan

12:01 pm

hokie carla

similar to or4/4, nan

12:02 pm

cybernan

no idea

12:02 pm

hokie carla

matty, did you say vie-tamins in your head or vit-amins? :D

12:03 pm

hokie carla

mi7/8

12:04 pm

mattygroves

Short i, this time, but it varies.

12:05 pm

cybernan

oh -- I see -- called that at the beginning last night -- wasn't thinking of it in terms of vitamins though

12:05 pm

hokie carla

did you get the pr7/8 from earlier?

12:05 pm

mattygroves

Same with the letter Z - I waver between zee and zed

12:05 pm

cybernan

phantom mimosa - now where is that orange juice?

12:06 pm

hokie carla

zed is so weird to me

12:06 pm

mattygroves

No - I haven't been online much. Go on, hit me with it....

12:06 pm

mattygroves

Fun fact, we call them toyboys - to me, boytoys just sounds wrong

12:07 pm

mattygroves

I think often which term I use depends on where I heard of the thing first - like I only fairly recently learned that what I call pollyfilla, you call spackle.

12:07 pm

mattygroves

A lot of 'adulting' stuff, I think of in British terms

12:07 pm

hokie carla

pr7/8 - no idea what it really means but a stance of being for underground places you will find or4, coal, etc.

12:07 pm

hokie carla

wow, never heard of pollyfilla

12:08 pm

moolingwa

hi all

12:08 pm

hokie carla

moo!

12:08 pm

12:10 pm

moolingwa

ah, no grey tiles here

12:11 pm

mattygroves

Another great clue, carla

12:12 pm

hokie carla

that one I can't take credit for, it was Luv & Molly earlier

12:13 pm

cybernan

95 - time for me to go through the list

12:13 pm

moolingwa

166 to go

12:13 pm

mattygroves

Thanks for sharing with me! I now have all the 9s, and 94 words left (still 10 7s to find)

12:13 pm

hokie carla

I don't know why one who swats at flies isn't a word. or a cow who makes sounds. arbitrary enable rules.

12:14 pm

hokie carla

17 7's left and 1 8.

12:14 pm

moolingwa

20 7s and 3 8s left here

12:14 pm

hokie carla

12:14 pm

moolingwa

19 7s

12:14 pm

mattygroves

Did I see that there is another word meaning sneeze besides the one I have? I have ac5/14

12:15 pm

hokie carla

yes

12:15 pm

mattygroves

May I have stats for that, please?

12:15 pm

hokie carla

kind of a silent letter stuck in there, probably british ;)

12:15 pm

hokie carla

sorry, moo

12:15 pm

mattygroves

Got it. Silly! I've not seen it here, but that doesn't mean it isn't British ;)

12:15 pm

hokie carla

avert your eyes, moo, here's the stats...

12:16 pm

moolingwa

ooh a grey tile

12:16 pm

moolingwa

it's okay I'm not readying it

12:16 pm

hokie carla

ok, nm

12:16 pm

mattygroves

Found it

12:16 pm

mattygroves

Thank you!

12:16 pm

hokie carla

I have P, O8 and O5, and D gray

12:17 pm

mattygroves

You should be able to pluralise those sneeze words - I sneeze like a cat, many times in succession - usually 7

12:17 pm

hokie carla

I know! I tried that too. ridiculous.

12:17 pm

mattygroves

I only have the H grey - the one in the bottom row

12:17 pm

hokie carla

ooh, e4 gray now

12:18 pm

12:22 pm

moolingwa

12:22 pm

moolingwa

12:23 pm

hokie carla

12:24 pm

hokie carla

12:24 pm

moolingwa

12:25 pm

hokie carla

there's another! bottom R. 7 now.

12:27 pm

moolingwa

my cat keeps going after the ornaments

12:28 pm

hokie carla

when our dog was a puppy he bit one of the lights and it broke off in his mouth and I was in a panic trying to get all the pieces. but he doesn't bother the trees now.

12:29 pm

moolingwa

he just likes to bat them around the floor...he's only doing it because my wife and daughter are bother behind closed doors

12:31 pm

hokie carla

Winston is sleeping in the classic golden retriever pose...on his back with back legs spread open. so weird.

12:31 pm

moolingwa

this cat does that too...he's a bit odd in his poses...he likes to sit on the back of chairs splayed out like a rug

12:33 pm

hokie carla

luckily winston does not get on the backs of chairs and couches. LOL

12:33 pm

moolingwa

heh

12:33 pm

clg47

My 2 1/2 year old daughter had made pretzel ornaments with glue and glitter at a friends house. I had her hang them at her height only to find my 9 month old standing and eating the pretzels.

12:34 pm

moolingwa

ooh, yummy

12:34 pm

hokie carla

oh no!

12:35 pm

hokie carla

12:49 pm

hokie carla

12:49 pm

hokie carla

8 gray tiles

12:50 pm

periwinkle

I have never tried so I am not sure about the stamps. I always go to the post office

12:50 pm

hokie carla

I did a trial of stamps.com. possible they do but it was like $20/month.

12:50 pm

periwinkle

12:50 pm

moolingwa

I rarely send anything any more

12:50 pm

hokie carla

picking up cards from walgreens so I'll just get regular non-holiday stamps from them

12:51 pm

hokie carla

ha7/8 peri? looks like ca7/8

12:51 pm

MollyL

You can mail packages from home with a USPS account.

12:51 pm

HarryHood

ty carla

12:52 pm

periwinkle

I don't have ca7/8

12:52 pm

moolingwa

stamps.com apparently

12:52 pm

HarryHood

Mr. Ragusa from laverne and shirley

12:52 pm

cherlyq

vehicle and not yours but

12:52 pm

moolingwa

ca7/8 sounds like a character on the sopranos

12:52 pm

MollyL

And I think you can order stamps to be mailed to you.

12:52 pm

MollyL

Carmine...You know I'd go from rags to riches...

12:52 pm

moolingwa

stamps.com allows you to print stamps at home

12:53 pm

moolingwa

oops Molly

12:53 pm

hokie carla

you can, Molly, but it says add 2-3 days right now

12:53 pm

periwinkle

ty for ca7/8 espec. Molly

12:53 pm

MollyL

Stamps.com charges you more than the value of the stamps.

12:54 pm

moolingwa

well yes

12:54 pm

hokie carla

harry, it's good you're here. I said laverne & shirley earlier but it fell on non-pop cultured ears ;)

12:54 pm

HarryHood

hah - I don't think the words "culture" and "laverne and shirley" were ever mentioned in the same sentence before

12:54 pm

MollyL

Anyone who missed Laverne & Shirley missed some good stuff. Especially Lenny and Squiggy.

12:55 pm

moolingwa

I'm not sure I "miss" laverne & shirley

12:55 pm

hokie carla

didn't squiggy just die

12:55 pm

HarryHood

laverne's father was the best character

12:55 pm

hokie carla

it was not my favorite show

12:55 pm

cherlyq

yeah he did Carla

12:55 pm

moolingwa

wasn't it a spin off from something...was it happy days?

12:56 pm

HarryHood

yes mool

12:56 pm

hokie carla

ok, I'm going to have to make lunch. it's almost 2! but I did get 4 things done on my to-do list.

12:56 pm

cherlyq

one of many but think it lasted the longest

12:56 pm

hokie carla

yep, happy days. didn't richie & the boys meet them and go out or something?

12:56 pm

HarryHood

mork and mindy went on for awhile

12:56 pm

hokie carla

I think NCIS may be the longest lasting spin-off but I'm not sure

12:57 pm

moolingwa

yeah, the house for mork & mindy is about 20 minutes from me

12:57 pm

moolingwa

still there

12:57 pm

HarryHood

though not, thankfully, "joanie loves chachi"

12:57 pm

hokie carla

oh, were you saying longest lasting of happy days spinoffs?

12:57 pm

moolingwa

one of those law & orders might rival it

12:57 pm

cherlyq

yeah

12:57 pm

MollyL

God, Robin Williams was a baby in those days.

12:57 pm

cherlyq

love NcIS though

12:57 pm

moolingwa

or the simpsons if you consider that a spin off

12:58 pm

MollyL

Well yeah, except Law & Order isn't a spin off from Happy Days

12:58 pm

moolingwa

neither is NCIS

12:58 pm

MollyL

Or The Simpsons

12:58 pm

HarryHood

hah - imagine Potsie as an assistant Da

12:58 pm

HarryHood

DA

12:59 pm

moolingwa

The Fonz could be judge

12:59 pm

hokie carla

oh yeah, I think SVU might be the longest. Simpsons started on Tracey Ullmann show but is it a spinoff?

12:59 pm

MollyL

Technically yes.

1:00 pm

hokie carla

I think NCIS is the only spinoff I watch/ed that I didn't watch the original.

1:00 pm

moolingwa

Yeah seems it's technically a spin-off according to some

1:00 pm

MollyL

According to Google, The Simpsons is the longest running spinoff

1:00 pm

hokie carla

it's the longest running show period, isn't it?

1:01 pm

moolingwa

longest running animated show for sure

1:01 pm

HarryHood

the jeffersons was a long-lived spinoff. As was Rhoda

1:02 pm

hokie carla

per wiki, the longest of all at 694 episodes, with SVU in 2nd at 481

1:02 pm

moolingwa

yeah, the Simpsons has been going 31 years...longest running tv show

1:02 pm

cherlyq

yeah mork and mindy run 4 years Laverne and Shirley ran 6 years

1:02 pm

hokie carla

32 seasons, 22 for SVU

1:02 pm

moolingwa

Gunsmoke and Law & Order second at 20 years

1:02 pm

cherlyq

NCiS spin off of Jag

1:02 pm

hokie carla

gunsmoke had more episodes than SVU but less seasons

1:03 pm

moolingwa

I liked the original Law & Order, but the SUV one was not my fave

1:03 pm

cherlyq

wonder if the seasons lasted longer for gunsmoke

1:03 pm

hokie carla

I was just about to post the exact same thing!

1:03 pm

mkg

please send me stats and clues for Q words. ty.

1:03 pm

mkg

never mind just found one of them. ty

1:05 pm

MollyL

Ah The Jeffersons. I loved George and Weezie.

1:07 pm

MollyL

And if you want to get long and involved, Good Times was a spinoff of Maude, which was a spinoff of All In The Family. Does that make it a spinoff spinoff?

1:15 pm

cybernan

walk time - bbl

1:28 pm

HarryHood

I never watched any of the law and order spinoffs

1:28 pm

HarryHood

but I really enjoyed the original

1:30 pm

1:31 pm

HarryHood

isn't monera the kingdom of bacteria?

1:31 pm

hokie carla

it's not those who flash their butts at others

1:31 pm

moolingwa

Or a personalized chain restaurant

1:32 pm

MollyL

Harry, I swear, only you would know that

1:32 pm

HarryHood

I make my students know it, so I should know it too...

1:33 pm

moolingwa

well it's not that small european country famous for casinos and formula 1 racing

1:33 pm

MollyL

I looked up the definition for mo7 and almost fell asleep reading it

1:35 pm

hokie carla

moolingwa

1:44 pm

hokie carla

ok, going to do some more things. BBL for last 52.

1:44 pm

MollyL

Not all variations of words translate. For instance, the sounds cows make works, but not one who makes that sound and plural.

1:45 pm

moolingwa

maybe ones who moo are moomakers

1:45 pm

MollyL

They definitely have mooselanes in Canada

1:46 pm

HarryHood

moomaker? wasn't that an ian fleming book?

1:46 pm

MollyL

Yes, featuring the evil vixen Udder Galore

1:48 pm

2:08 pm

MollyL

That's okay Nan. Some of our human pedestrians are dumber than the mo5

2:08 pm

cybernan

lol - true, molly

2:10 pm

MollyL

Now that the majority of people are "working from home" aka out walking their dogs, jogging or riding their bikes, you have to watch out constantly for people just strolling or rolling across the road in front of you without even stopping.

2:16 pm

cybernan

does anyone have a clue for the mo 7 please? not getting it from earlier comments

2:17 pm

72 Temple Owl

perople have forgotten that they are not the only person on the street. One walked into me and then when I was backing up to leave my street spot, wlaked right behind the car without a glance. hair raiding.

2:18 pm

72 Temple Owl

hair raising. fingers mispositioned.

2:22 pm

clg47

2:26 pm

clg47

and before she contacted the kissing disease.

2:26 pm

3:11 pm

hokie carla

still don't have stamps for my xmas cards

3:12 pm

hokie carla

I have sent them this late before, but I think this year they will def. get there after xmas so I may as well order stamps from usps.com

3:13 pm

BzznBea

I still have all my packages to ship. That is EVERYONE!

3:13 pm

BzznBea

Won't get them out until at least Wednesday.

3:16 pm

hokie carla

I told my mom she might get her presents after she gets the vaccine and I can drive them to her.

3:16 pm

BzznBea

LOL!

3:16 pm

BzznBea

My motto...It is what it is.

3:19 pm

hokie carla

I never mail packages at Xmas. I think she'd rather see me in person anyway.

3:20 pm

BzznBea

If I don't ship, theyndon't receive. Missouri, Kansas, Minnesota and Wisconsin.

3:21 pm

hokie carla

I'm sure once the boys are on their own I will have to mail packages.

3:22 pm

hokie carla

I'm really wondering how there are 7 more C's in there.

3:23 pm

hokie carla

have you finished the right H, bea? I'm missing one.

3:23 pm

BzznBea

2 of 20 there. Sorry, Toots. I will be of no help today.

Do you have the wading bird?

3:36 pm

Oops so sorry

3:36 pm

Too much multitasking

3:36 pm

BzznBea

And I haven't ben on here much. If you are going to ask for clues, at least have the courtesy towait for them. Or go back through the chat to findmyour clues. This is really annoying.

3:37 pm

BzznBea

We are all multitasking at this time of the year. Again, I think it is rude and inconsiderate of you to continually ask for the sam clues.

3:38 pm

Apologies.

3:57 pm

72 Temple Owl

i am watching a book where there are no bids. ends in a dew hours. no bidders. i want to offer half.

3:57 pm

HarryHood

nothing wrong with ringo starr. Maybe you can get a thing going with Barbara Bach?

3:57 pm

72 Temple Owl

welk i have a ponytail now.

3:58 pm

mkg

Where is he trying to sell them?

3:58 pm

hokie carla

I think you can do that TO, and then set a max bid and it will automatically go up to that until it hits your max.

3:58 pm

welki

it's not hard to picture you with a ponytail - probably looks really cute

3:59 pm

72 Temple Owl

lol i will text you a photo and then you will retract that

3:59 pm

If “no** is in the grid, why isn’t no**er in the grid? One who does it........weird.

4:14 pm

marksdolly

LOL Hokie, makes sense to me!

4:14 pm

moolingwa

ever been driving along...and there's this noise...and you can't figure out what it is...well it's a carhum

4:15 pm

hokie carla

how many c's do you need, moo? I still have 7 and can't fathom what they might be, so I wonder if they are weird, made-up words like carhum.

4:15 pm

hokie carla

but make less sense than that

4:16 pm

72 Temple Owl

if i may go back about 30 minutes, was the reference to sweish masseur a clue?

4:17 pm

moolingwa

I need 7 c

4:17 pm

hokie carla

not really. I asked what my missing L was, and that was the response. and it was that.

4:17 pm

moolingwa

I also am looking for the seven c's

4:17 pm

hokie carla

i.e. looks like a swedish man's name

4:17 pm

hokie carla

or a metallica drummer

4:17 pm

moolingwa

oh yeah, that was my last l

4:18 pm

72 Temple Owl

the missing l was a swedish masseur?

4:18 pm

moolingwa

in name only ;)

4:19 pm

72 Temple Owl

it's l4/4?

4:19 pm

hokie carla

yes

4:19 pm

72 Temple Owl

ok thank you. i thought it was l6

4:22 pm

72 Temple Owl

4:49 pm

hokie carla

I have 4 weird mu's from that one

4:52 pm

Gadget

Got a couple - thanks carla

4:57 pm

hokie carla

as I suspected, the remaining 2 are mu, but I can't find.

4:58 pm

marksdolly

are they a 5 and 6?

4:58 pm

marksdolly

if so think of wet mud

4:59 pm

marksdolly

wet dirt, duh

4:59 pm

hokie carla

yes, they are

5:00 pm

marksdolly

well you've gotten the 1st 3 letters, go up to the right

5:00 pm

hokie carla

LOL, multi-tasking. the wet mud was enough. ;)

5:00 pm

5:09 pm

JaxH66

5:22 pm

moolingwa

5:22 pm

moolingwa

5:23 pm

JaxH66

Finding the q’s hard today. I normally try to do them first but still only got 2

5:23 pm

hokie carla

there's the one without any other vowels, jax

5:24 pm

moolingwa

if you need clues let us know Jax

5:24 pm

hokie carla

just ask us ;) in british english

5:24 pm

JaxH66

I could I have the stats please I’ve got 2x qu5/16

5:25 pm

hokie carla

qu5/18, qu6/27, 7/40

5:25 pm

moolingwa

okay, qu6/27

5:25 pm

moolingwa

oh, hoke beat me to it...sorry was answering a text :)

5:26 pm

hokie carla

5:27 pm

moolingwa

3 s's left

5:27 pm

moolingwa

5:27 pm

hokie carla

I have 2 I can't find but don't want to ask and give them away

5:27 pm

dan2bit

5:28 pm

moolingwa

5:28 pm

hokie carla

well done, dolly.

5:28 pm

moolingwa

still 28 left here

5:28 pm

JaxH66

Think of a couple dan

5:28 pm

hokie carla

I have an se6 I can't find and sh7

5:28 pm

marksdolly

any help needed?

5:29 pm

JaxH66

Struggling with the qu6&7

5:29 pm

moolingwa

se 6...old person or someone who puts thing in a box

5:29 pm

moolingwa

or container, or coffin...or pehaps someone who weatherproofs your home :)

5:30 pm

hokie carla

holy cow, that se6 is twisty

5:30 pm

marksdolly

thinking of how to clue Jax

5:30 pm

moolingwa

the old one or the other one?

5:30 pm

marksdolly

that last 3 are poetic before word

5:30 pm

moolingwa

the spiral one I assume

5:30 pm

hokie carla

if someone asks something, jax, it is a qu5 (not in grid), qu6 is just a weird spelling

5:31 pm

moolingwa

qu6/7 think english spelling of one of your 5s

5:31 pm

hokie carla

the old one, moo. or what my youngest kid is.

5:31 pm

JaxH66

Thanks got them

5:31 pm

moolingwa

yeah, the other one is even twistier

5:31 pm

marksdolly

that was a totally new word to me

5:31 pm

hokie carla

because I kept doing se5 spanish mr. with the other r

5:32 pm

hokie carla

I can't go backwards

5:32 pm

moolingwa

yeah...if it's any consolation, I just found it before you asked for it

5:32 pm

moolingwa

the sh7...I believe is a reference to chewing tobacco

5:32 pm

hokie carla

it is some, thanks

5:33 pm

moolingwa

nope, it is actually to do with a cigar...as it's alternate spelling...that doesn't begin with s

5:33 pm

moolingwa

that was my last s, and it got me a second 7 as a result

5:33 pm

moolingwa

so 26 to go...five of them 7s

5:34 pm

hokie carla

4 of my last 8 are 7s

5:34 pm

moolingwa

yoiks

5:36 pm

moolingwa

ominoose - how the condemned man feels as he approaches the gallows

5:36 pm

hokie carla

well, looked up the sh7. I guess that's my ch7 too

5:36 pm

moolingwa

yep

5:36 pm

marksdolly

yeppers

5:37 pm

marksdolly

I looked LOL

5:37 pm

moolingwa

I'm not into cigars, but was familiar with the word

5:39 pm

hokie carla

yeah, I've seen it before but not something in my head

5:39 pm

moolingwa

Yeah, still needed you to ask with the length and starting letters for me to think of it

5:39 pm

hokie carla

I thought I waited until you said you finished the S?

5:40 pm

moolingwa

No, I said go ahead...it's all good

5:40 pm

moolingwa

Didn't want you waiting on me

5:40 pm

hokie carla

aha, words

5:41 pm

moolingwa

I do appreciate you asking, but don't want to hold up others on my account

5:41 pm

moolingwa

4 7s to go

5:41 pm

hokie carla

oh, you won't. I will eventually look it up. have 2 o's I'm about to look up.

5:41 pm

Lizlin

Good morning all :)

5:41 pm

moolingwa

hey liz...happy Tyr's Day to you

5:42 pm

hokie carla

lizlin!

5:42 pm

Lizlin

And Norse greetings all around :)

5:43 pm

MollyL

Hope you are having a good Wednesday Liz, aren't you all a day ahead of us?

5:44 pm

Lizlin

Still Tuesday here Molly - 9.44 am

5:44 pm

Lizlin

But yes, the day has got off to a good start.

5:45 pm

Lizlin

Driving today for the first time since my hip replacement.

5:45 pm

hokie carla

yep, still Monday here

5:46 pm

Lizlin

Perhaps Molly is willing 2021 to arrive a bit faster. Get rid of this year!

5:56 pm

Lizlin

Having just had our annual pest inspection of the house, perhaps not seeing the ro5/14 was a deliberate oversight.

5:58 pm

Lizlin

And apologies for posting an unasked for stat!

6:02 pm

hokie carla

no worries

6:03 pm

hokie carla

I am down to 3 C words

6:03 pm

Lizlin

I've still got 21 to find.

6:04 pm

hokie carla

finally monkeyed a stupid one

6:09 pm

MollyL

I'm so frazzled by holiday hoo-ha that I don't even know what day it is. People who don't have to work have it a lot easier this time of year.

6:09 pm

HarryHood

60 to go. I am toast. listing this one later.

6:10 pm

Lizlin

That must be tough, Molly.

6:10 pm

hokie carla

true Molly, but people who don't work never know what day it is :D

6:12 pm

Lizlin

It's true that not writing the date on the board definitely makes it harder to know what day it is!

6:12 pm

Lizlin

Grrr! American spelling catching me out again!

6:13 pm

hokie carla

Ha! I have the same trouble with british spelling!

6:13 pm

Lizlin

Makes sense :)

6:13 pm

hokie carla

of course moo can see them all

6:14 pm

hokie carla

I did not get the first ae4 until the list. even though we have it all the time.

6:14 pm

Lizlin

Mattygroves too, I'd think.

6:15 pm

72 Temple Owl

qu5/18 pls? just cannot see it

6:15 pm

Lizlin

There's only one vowel in that word, TO

6:15 pm

hokie carla

yeah, I was asking her about which way she pronounces vitamins earlier today and she said she does both. also says both zee and zed.

6:15 pm

hokie carla

TO, no other vowels

6:16 pm

hokie carla

q + our south african (I think ) player

6:16 pm

Lizlin

I understand that - there are words here which are used differently to the UK and I tend to use both - pronunciation not so much though.

6:16 pm

72 Temple Owl

thanks liz and carla

6:16 pm

Lizlin

yw

6:16 pm

hokie carla

np

6:17 pm

Lizlin

I've missed some very obvious words :(

6:18 pm

hokie carla

right there, you said "differently to". I just heard that on a documentary I was watching about queen elizabeth. we would say differently from.

6:18 pm

hokie carla

I just always find it fascinating

6:18 pm

LuvWordGames

sh

6:18 pm

hokie carla

are you shushing me, luv?

6:19 pm

Lizlin

I love language and agree that the differences and similarities are fascinating - like the time when my Aussie husband, teaching in the UK told the kids to "take their pants off" (putting on shorts for a football lesson) - pants has a totally different meaning in the UK>

6:20 pm

hokie carla

what does it mean there?

6:20 pm

Lizlin

Underpants

6:20 pm

hokie carla

ah

6:20 pm

hokie carla

what do they call pants?

6:21 pm

AtlKru

hi all! i do this puzzle to keep my languages separated. when i think, its a mixture of languages. it helps me with spelling as well.

6:21 pm

Lizlin

Or the literal understanding of a class of 5 year olds who were told by their new teacher to get undressed for their Phys Ed lesson - sot the did.

6:21 pm

Lizlin

Trousers

6:21 pm

Lizlin

*so they did

6:21 pm

hokie carla

what is your first language, atlkru?

6:22 pm

AtlKru

english native speaker

6:22 pm

hokie carla

which english ;)

6:22 pm

Lizlin

I have such admiration for people who play babble where English is not their first language. I don't think I could play in another language, even those that I have some knowledge of.

6:23 pm

hokie carla

me too

6:23 pm

AtlKru

despite that, sometimes it feels like im forgetting american english. i speak that and a dialect (AAVE)

6:24 pm

Lizlin

OK - have to go. Appointment at 11am. Back to finish my final few letter. Good luck everyone and enjoy your day / evening

6:24 pm

AtlKru

i catch myself typing other languages a lot

6:24 pm

hokie carla

well, I have admiration for people who can speak more than one language. I can read enough to mostly get by in spanish but I can't really make sentences

6:24 pm

AtlKru

bye!

6:24 pm

hokie carla

bye!

6:25 pm

hokie carla

just had to google AAVE. never heard it called that.

6:25 pm

AtlKru

haha indeed

6:25 pm

hokie carla

I also speak a dialect of american english that some people have trouble with - appalachian english

6:26 pm

hokie carla

not saying they have trouble with AAVE, saying they do have trouble with App. Eng.

6:26 pm

AtlKru

i am familiar with it. but it has been a while since i've heard it in person

6:27 pm

hokie carla

where did you grow up?

6:27 pm

AtlKru

mississippi. ive lived many palces in the states

6:28 pm

hokie carla

I've only lived 2, 3 counting college

6:29 pm

AtlKru

i love traveling as well

6:30 pm

hokie carla

we did a long cross country trip several years ago and I really didn't grasp how large and varied our country is before then.

6:31 pm

AtlKru

our nation is so beautiful and diverse.

6:31 pm

hokie carla

indeed

6:32 pm

AtlKru

ive been to a few other countries. would love to travel for a few years

6:32 pm

hokie carla

trying to think...I'm not sure I've ever been to mississippi!

6:33 pm

hokie carla

yeah, I've only been to Mexico and some Caribbean countries. would love to make it to Europe some day.

6:33 pm

hokie carla

oh, and I've been to canada

6:33 pm

AtlKru

if you like nature, you'd like mississippi. very wooded and few large cities.i lived right on the edge of the delta

6:34 pm

AtlKru

europe is pretty. the buildings are so old. blew my mind.

6:34 pm

hokie carla

we do. once we're empty nesters we are going to take our RV and explore more of the country we didn't see before. will have to check out Miss.

6:36 pm

AtlKru

nice chatting with you. i must go study. if i could, i would travel all the time. rv-ing is the way to go!

6:36 pm

AtlKru

bye all!

6:37 pm

hokie carla

yes it is! nice chatting with you. Bye!
