8:28 am

MollyL

Some people like to find words on their own (which is the objective of the game). So they close the chat when a lot of clues are being requested and given.

8:32 am

dan2bit

I thought the objective of the game was to complain about anachronisms and slurs in the dictionary file?

8:33 am

dan2bit

and punning

8:38 am

RoundBarn

dan, I lurk mostly but one main object of the game for me is to keep an eye on the chat for people I like and admire even not knowing them--but one gets to. you, Miss 2 Bit, Ru, are high on my list!

8:39 am

Scrabbler

Hi RB, how are you doing?

8:39 am

RoundBarn

you are high on my list, too! I'm doing ok.

8:40 am

Scrabbler

You visited Rasta a few months ago?

8:41 am

Scrabbler

Dan, wh4 does the NHL start up this month?

8:44 am

RoundBarn

Yes, I was with her and Eddy for 5 weeks--went out on Amtrak. Goats, chickens, a pigeon who thinks she's a hen, scrable every day--Rasta plays rings around me. I watch the upper NY snow, for you. And have liked when you give advice, when it seems advisav

8:46 am

RoundBarn

advisable.

8:46 am

Scrabbler

Rasta showed us a picture of you outside.

8:46 am

dan2bit

first NHL games Jan 15 - they have realigned the divisions to minimize travel and shortened to 56 games

8:47 am

Scrabbler

Yes, a tough division for our Sabres, but we have an improved team.

8:47 am

dan2bit

no border crossings - all the Canadian teams will play only each other until the playoffs start (May?)

8:47 am

RoundBarn

I guess we are more connected than I thought. Makes me glad.

8:48 am

Scrabbler

But no team bubbles, Dan, so COVID will knock players out for 10+ days.

8:49 am

dan2bit

youth hockey in US has been very susceptible to outbreaks, compared to other team sports, so I am not super optimistic that it will go as well as the playoff bubble yep exactly

8:49 am

RoundBarn

hope you got my love letter to you and yours, Dan2Bit.

8:49 am

dan2bit

*hugs* RoundBarn

8:50 am

RoundBarn

edit

8:50 am

hokie carla

I bet you would rehoe a line in the garden if you didn't do a good job the first time.

8:51 am

Scrabbler

A local youth hockey league had a protest with 200 parents and kids yesterday, demanding to have games. Uh, during a pandemic? No.

8:52 am

RoundBarn

oops--pardon--I watch you, too, Carla, ans the Stids, and Nef I have even met.

8:52 am

Scrabbler

I tried that too, Carla.

8:52 am

hokie carla

ooh, my very own stalker? nice to see you, RB.

8:52 am

dan2bit

we lost miss2bit's Grampa Rick (my stepdad) last week - not covid, but we were still shocked

8:53 am

hokie carla

sorry to hear that, dan

8:53 am

BzznBea

Isn't the cold, as in an ice rink, the mosty likely place to get it?

8:53 am

BzznBea

I'm so sorry, Dan.

8:54 am

hokie carla

oh, I just tried innie again. when will I learn

8:54 am

BzznBea

I know that the meat packing industry was hit hard because of the cold temps in the plants.

8:54 am

dan2bit

thanks all

8:55 am

BzznBea

I saw innie and thought, Nope...Not a word...

8:55 am

Scrabbler

Sad, Dan, and the unexpected deaths are more difficult to process.

8:56 am

hokie carla

I know, when my dad died it was a relief. even though we miss him terribly, that was no way to live.

8:56 am

Jeff7

clue for we7 pls

8:57 am

hokie carla

well, it's not - he weenied out, jeff. no idea

8:57 am

Jeff7

tried every combo except for the correct one

8:57 am

BzznBea

we7 has more unwanted plants

8:57 am

dan2bit

it was both - he had been "breaking down" (his phrase) in a few ways for the last couple years, but the final emergency was unexpected. But it gave him the time needed with my mom to make his wishes known and make sure she could handle finances etc. He had Christmas at home, which was a blessing

8:58 am

Jeff7

except that one lol TY

8:58 am

hokie carla

wow, thanks bea. did not have the unwanted plants.

8:59 am

hokie carla

I'm just jumping around all over today and this grid is one of those tough tiny ones.

9:00 am

Jeff7

9:01 am

BzznBea

That was an interesting one.

Scrabbler

Time to go shop for my mother. ENjoy the day.

9:05 am

Uneaixoise

I need that one too....

9:05 am

hokie carla

I don't have it bichon, was saying we almost have inbreed.

9:06 am

BzznBea

That word is a touchy one...

9:06 am

hokie carla

bea said it was interesting so that makes me think not a regular word

9:06 am

BzznBea

Stimulate is a good definition.

9:06 am

hokie carla

that is weird, thx

9:07 am

hokie carla

12:49 pm

hokie carla

DC'ers - earlier I saw about 10 charter buses with Keep America Great! on the sides headed your way. You couldn't pay me a million dollars to get on a charter bus with 40 other people right now.

12:52 pm

hokie carla

would not have gotten either of those w's, thanks

1:13 pm

moolingwa

afternoon all, happy new year :)

1:29 pm

MollyL

I don't understand why anyone, for any cause, thinks that mass protests with large groups of people are a good idea right now.

2:05 pm

2:15 pm

hurshy

including that one

2:15 pm

hurshy

bi5/14 = in england if someone wants you to throw something away they might say "*** **"

2:37 pm

bleugirl2

sorry meant DI 5/12

2:42 pm

ooss! the plane! the plane!

2:42 pm

bleu, do you mean the restaurant?

2:43 pm

HarryHood

carla

2:43 pm

hokie carla

and welcome back to moo.

2:43 pm

HarryHood

I think for a million bucks I would easily get on a bus with 40 people.

2:43 pm

jbp

and also hi, all

2:43 pm

HarryHood

hi jbp

2:44 pm

hokie carla

LOL, when I typed that I was like, maybe I would, but can't spend a million dollars if you're dead!

2:44 pm

HarryHood

yeah but the odds are pretty good you'll live

2:44 pm

HarryHood

I'd take those odd.

2:44 pm

HarryHood

s

2:44 pm

jbp

how long do I have to be on the bus?

2:44 pm

hokie carla

statistically you are correct

2:44 pm

bleugirl2

the first DI 12

2:44 pm

HarryHood

and can you wear a mask

2:44 pm

HarryHood

and open your window

2:45 pm

hokie carla

13 left here, thank goodness for these clues

2:45 pm

HarryHood

bg: a chemical, like butadi5

2:45 pm

hokie carla

you can't usually open a window on charter buses

2:46 pm

HarryHood

sounds like "help me, I'm dy5 out here"

2:46 pm

hokie carla

and ain't nobody on a keep america great bus got time for a mask, so you would need like a gas mask.

2:46 pm

HarryHood

I was thinking more like a schoolbus :) good ventilation

2:47 pm

hokie carla

ah, I missed the chemical today. but I did find the lone d while I was trying stuff.

2:49 pm

hokie carla

11 now. TT T BB R E HH WW

2:49 pm

jbp

when I was in grad school, there w4ere 4 of us who had this construction paper bus that we could "put people on" if they hurt us/dissed us (good for stoopid boy/girlfriends AND profs). Once you were on the bus, you couldn't really ever get off. The best you could do would be to get stuck in the bus shelter,

2:49 pm

HarryHood

I had to list today with 7 left.

2:49 pm

jbp

it was all good and therapeutic

2:50 pm

HarryHood

grad school puts your brain in a weird place. you end up doing crazy stuff like making construction paper buses

2:50 pm

jbp

and eventually, the bus would careen off a mountain.

2:50 pm

jbp

truth, Harry. Truth.

2:53 pm

MollyL

I think the best thing for frustration/anger/hurt regarding others is Whack A Mole. Everyone should have a Whack A Mole Game with the ability to put "certain faces" on the moles. WHACK!

2:53 pm

hokie carla

there's a W. 10 now, 4 4's and 6 6's

2:53 pm

jbp

I like it Molly!

2:54 pm

MollyL

And yes, there is an app for that.

2:54 pm

MollyL

Whack A Bad Guy on Google Play

2:54 pm

jbp

when we all went our separate ways, we decided that we each needed our own bus-like thing. Mine is a zamboni. People aren't on it, but they run in front of it with very slippery shoes. ;-)

2:54 pm

jbp

lol. I think it's marginally healthier than a voodoo doll

2:55 pm

hokie carla

LOL

2:55 pm

MollyL

Not as therapeutic as the actual game with the big mallets though.

2:55 pm

jbp

my aggression is on the inside. ;-)

2:56 pm

MollyL

I know someone who has a punching bag with his boss's face on it : D

2:56 pm

jbp

could someone clue me the Y, please>

2:56 pm

jbp

I had a dart board once...\

2:56 pm

hokie carla

yir/6

2:57 pm

MollyL

You can get dart boards with people's faces on them. Also therapeutic

2:57 pm

hokie carla

4.6, not r/6

2:57 pm

MollyL

I think we are packing Carla off to the PB for that

2:57 pm

bleugirl2

Thanks Harry

2:58 pm

hokie carla

well, the r is directly below the 4 on my keyboard

2:58 pm

hokie carla
