11:51 am

penquis

11:54 am

hokie carla

I guess it smelled bad enough for him to roll in

11:54 am

11:54 am

penquis

good thing you were in a position to respond quickly....

2:42 pm

hokie carla

I need 3 S's from top and 1 T from top, 2 from bottom

2:43 pm

hokie carla

could it be the same 3 s's? probably not

2:44 pm

moolingwa

I need one T from the second row

2:44 pm

moolingwa

all the S's from the top

2:44 pm

hokie carla

probably an easy T then since I have them all from there

2:44 pm

moolingwa

2x5, 1x6 and 1x9

2:45 pm

2:46 pm

hokie carla

need one A from each, any guesses?

2:46 pm

moolingwa

you missing 3 A's?

2:47 pm

moolingwa

well one is an A7 :)

2:47 pm

moolingwa

that was easy

2:47 pm

moolingwa

there's an a6 that isn't common off the right A

2:47 pm

hokie carla

sorry, no. 2 a's, one from each 2nd row. but see, the other A is a freebie gray.

2:47 pm

moolingwa

there's also an a5 that is an italian word that can be easy to miss

2:47 pm

moolingwa

oh, didn't even check :)

2:48 pm

moolingwa

but if you're missing the 7...then a7 off the first one, a6 off the second one

2:48 pm

hokie carla

do not have an a6 or a7, so you got it

2:48 pm

moolingwa

if you want clues?

2:48 pm

hokie carla

2:51 pm

moolingwa

nope

2:51 pm

hokie carla

ok, I will take a clue then

2:51 pm

moolingwa

not even an everyweek word

2:51 pm

2:53 pm

moolingwa

that's an everyday word off the s

2:53 pm

hokie carla

we definitely are missing different s's because I have the 9

2:53 pm

moolingwa

well maybe an every week word...unless you're a lawyer/judge

2:54 pm

moolingwa

or a criminal who is prolific

2:54 pm

moolingwa

I guess lawmakers and then staff are pretty familiar users of it too

2:54 pm

moolingwa

and political/legal reporters too :)

2:54 pm

hokie carla

well that's annoying I didn't see that

2:55 pm

moolingwa

3:08 pm

hokie carla

3:09 pm

3:09 pm

hokie carla

3:11 pm

hokie carla

3:16 pm

hokie carla

there is an unusual to me 5/6 combo but you probably have that

3:16 pm

moolingwa

I'm off the top s....not the middle one

3:16 pm

hokie carla

nm, that's from the lower S

3:17 pm

moolingwa

yeah

3:20 pm

hokie carla

there is another set of unusual actually from the correct S that I just monkeyed this morning and don't know it.

3:20 pm

hokie carla

no def in dictionary.com

3:21 pm

hokie carla

so if I have to guess, i'll guess scottish. LOL

3:21 pm

moolingwa

of course

3:22 pm

hokie carla

well I'm sorry if that gave it away, but I have to point out that according to m-w dictionary, I am absolutely correct

3:25 pm

moolingwa

no, haven't found it yet

3:25 pm

moolingwa

doing multiple things :)

3:25 pm

hokie carla

4:32 pm

hurshy

gth instead of ght is driving me a little nuts

4:34 pm

4:37 pm

origami

Leave it to me ...

4:38 pm

hurshy

lol

4:39 pm

hurshy

had my annual checkup today. does anyone else like having a doctor who is overweight, because then you don't feel AS bad admitting that you haven't been exercising much lately?

4:41 pm

ch1212

lol! Yes, my new doctor is at least as overweight as I am. She's a regular doctor, but also trained in integrative medicine, so she's very holistic in her approach. She is gently encouraging about the exercise, and I never feel guilty.

4:41 pm

hurshy

nice

4:41 pm

hokie carla

LOL, I'm glad I checked in and saw ori slut-shaming

4:42 pm

hurshy

hi hokie :)

4:43 pm

hokie carla

hi!

4:43 pm

hurshy

my BP was fine tho, that was the main thing. it was high on friday when i went to the dentist to get my tooth pulled. and i was like, not only are you about to pull my tooth, you just showed me the list of everything that could go WRONG, including a fractured jaw, so what do you exPECT my BP to do?

4:44 pm

ch1212

I agree! My BP is usually on the low end, but goes up at the dentist's office.

4:45 pm

hurshy

i had to sit and meditate and think about Rilla purring on my chest to bring it down enough that they could actually do the procedure

4:45 pm

hokie carla

one time mine was so high at the girl doctor they wouldn't let me leave after the appt.

4:45 pm

hokie carla

I def. have white coat syndrome

4:45 pm

hokie carla

but I also have high BP.

4:46 pm

hurshy

i don't always have white coat syndrome but, yeah, they really should email you the list of what could go wrong like a week before the procedure so you have time to be horrified and get over it before you go in

4:46 pm

ch1212

{{{ gentle hugs }}} totally understand. I've been known to bring a guided meditation tape and earphones to my dentist office. I also practice deep breathing.

4:46 pm

hurshy

i have a high pulse rate but BP not so bad. and i've had high cholesterol too though i don't know what it is now

4:47 pm

hokie carla

but at my dentist the last time it was like 100/50. I said, I think there's something wrong with your checker. They use a wrist one, which are not accurate at all. the hygienist said "yours is always low here" and I said, yeah, because something is wrong with your checker.

4:47 pm

hurshy

lol

4:47 pm

hurshy

would anyone care to fill me in on the stats for the 9 and the 7s?

4:48 pm

hokie carla

my cholesterol was high at my last checkup. tried to switch to med. diet but it's hard for me to stick to. I just need to lose the pandemic lbs and I think it will go back down.

4:48 pm

hokie carla

st9/60, st7/32, as7/28

4:48 pm

ch1212

st7, as7

4:50 pm

hurshy

st 7 and 9 related?

4:51 pm

ch1212

no

4:51 pm

hurshy

got the st7

4:51 pm

ch1212

They do start with the same first 4 though

4:51 pm

hurshy

thanks, got the 9 now!

4:53 pm

hurshy

i feel like the as7 must be weird...

4:54 pm

hurshy

oHO i got it

4:54 pm

ch1212

Do you want a clue?

4:54 pm

hurshy

i remember we had that in a grid sometime within the last few months

4:54 pm

ch1212

Good for you!

4:55 pm

hurshy

i am having SO much trouble not prodding the empty spot on my gums where the tooth got pulled, and then it ends up hurting more as a result

4:55 pm

hurshy

it's like "you are an adult, why can you not manage this simple little act of self-control??"

4:56 pm

ch1212

lol! I've had teeth pulled, and I know exactly what you mean!

4:57 pm

hurshy

but at least i have the nicest kitty in the whole wide world on my chest

4:58 pm

hurshy

isn't a tuile a thing in food? like a crystallized sugar thing or something?

4:58 pm

ch1212

They are such a comfort.

4:58 pm

hurshy

yes, thin crisp cookie, google confirms

4:58 pm

hurshy

well not google, bc i use ecosia now

4:59 pm

ch1212

I believe those are spelled with 2 ls.

4:59 pm

hurshy

no, just the one

5:00 pm

hurshy

there's to5, fabric with scenes, which people always mix up with tulle, the tutu fabric, and tuile, the cookie. apparently there IS also tuille, a part of a suit of armor

5:01 pm

ch1212

Good to know :)

5:01 pm

moolingwa

not to be confused with twill...something a bird might do :)

5:02 pm

hurshy

i was so good at the doctor's office. they have two check in desks and each one had a sign on its window saying, "you may check in at both desks" and i bit my tongue instead of saying "i don't want to have to check in twice, that should say 'you may check in at either desk'".

5:02 pm

moolingwa

still stuck with these last three

5:02 pm

hurshy

twill is a fabric thing too, a kind of weave

5:02 pm

moolingwa

maybe they want you to check in twice

5:03 pm

hurshy

i think what birds do is trill

5:03 pm

moolingwa

oh yeah, my mistake :)

5:03 pm

hurshy

they DON'T, because they didn't make me check in at both desks

5:03 pm

hurshy

the point is, i really really really wanted to tell them to fix it but i controlled myself

5:03 pm

moolingwa

well they said "can" so maybe it's optional

5:04 pm

moolingwa

I corrected one of my colleagues for using "mute point" the other day

5:04 pm

moolingwa

he was silent on the subject

5:04 pm

hurshy

ok so you think if i had gone to the other one and said i am here to check in at this desk too because it said i may check in at both desks, they would have said, ok great and re-checked me in?

5:04 pm

hurshy

hahaha

5:05 pm

moolingwa

perhaps...they may want to offer a more thorough check-in service for those who are a little bit more control-minded

5:06 pm

hurshy

I DOUBT IT

5:06 pm

hurshy

that's all

5:07 pm

ch1212

At my dermatologist's office they have two check-in stations. They carefully and thoughtfully placed stick-on shoe prints to indicate six feet between patients in line. However ... the distance between the two lines is about 2 feet! lol!

5:07 pm

hurshy

oh dear

5:08 pm

moolingwa

that sounds like a "you only had one job" situation

5:08 pm

ch1212

Yes. I wait until no one is in line before I check in :)

5:08 pm

moolingwa

ooh, got the 9

5:08 pm

moolingwa

2 to go

5:10 pm

moolingwa
