Can someone explain the current use of the word "woke". It seems to mean socially aware, but it just looks ignorant. As in "It feels like they're trying to use her to be really woke about women's roles in a family "

hull not hole

2:13 pm

2:13 pm

penquis

nan....add three letters to the hockey player and end up on the right side of the grid....

2:14 pm

penquis

worked for me... ty...

2:14 pm

moolingwa

2:15 pm

penquis

2:15 pm

moolingwa

2:16 pm

penquis

it was also my last K word...

2:28 pm

HarryHood

3:28 pm

moolingwa

we've got about 90% of the ones we're collecting I'd say

3:28 pm

hokie carla

why do I call it the periodic chart? did I make that up?

3:29 pm

moolingwa

perhaps yours was on a wall hoke?

3:29 pm

hokie carla

I have some Au and Ag

3:29 pm

HarryHood

I used to play with Hg when I was a kid. Now we'd have to call hazmat team.

moolingwa

yeah, we do have Hg, but again in a container

hokie carla

I remember in HS chem we were doing something with something yellow and the teacher said not to get it on you and this boy in my class was like covered in it. I was like, uhh..Mr. Teacher? the calmest teacher I ever had was like, "yeah you should probably wash that off as soon as you can."

3:37 pm

hurshy

3:39 pm

hokie carla

well, that is really weird. I have that ya5 but it wasn't there a second ago. am watching lion king remake with youngest and was talking to him. did I type it and not notice?

3:40 pm

hurshy

8s i have au, st, tr... anyone have others?

3:40 pm

moolingwa

or are two people signed in with your account and finding words?!?!?

3:40 pm

hokie carla

I mean, I wouldn't object to that if they are helping

3:40 pm

hokie carla

I only have 2, hurshy

3:40 pm

moolingwa

I have ma8

3:40 pm

HarryHood

I have ma

3:41 pm

moolingwa

and tx for the tr

3:41 pm

hurshy

that made me want to be able to get maelstrom, but that's 9

3:41 pm

moolingwa

and I have the 9 too now

3:41 pm

HarryHood

love that word

3:41 pm

hurshy

thanks, got the ma8 now

3:41 pm

hokie carla

and requires another M

3:42 pm

hokie carla

so I still need ma8 and au8. okay. focusing now. unless the other me can find it.

3:42 pm

moolingwa

go other you!

3:42 pm

hokie carla

well, really counting on other me since I can find neither

3:43 pm

hokie carla

are these words that might be in my vocabulary?

3:43 pm

moolingwa

yes

3:43 pm

HarryHood

yes

3:44 pm

moolingwa

in fact you have the au :)

3:44 pm

hokie carla

do either have a 7 with them?

3:44 pm

moolingwa

the m you might need a beer for

3:44 pm

HarryHood

au

3:44 pm

HarryHood

is a plural

3:44 pm

HarryHood

au is kind of a bust.

3:45 pm

moolingwa

HH is giving you a tip

3:45 pm

moolingwa

although we might have to nip this cluing in the bud before it gives it away

3:46 pm

hokie carla

I might need a beer to figure out these clues. or maybe I'm just a moron.

3:46 pm

HarryHood

don't be such a boob

3:46 pm

moolingwa

hey, I can go tit for tat with you

3:47 pm

hokie carla

well, found 2 ar's, thx. will try to stick the u in there.

3:47 pm

HarryHood

we're going to milk this for all it's worth, eh?

3:47 pm

moolingwa

it's important for us to say abreast of the situation here

3:47 pm

moolingwa

you're very close then hoke, just need a vowel movement

3:47 pm

hokie carla

ok, got the au's too. pretty sure those are not really in my vocabulary

3:48 pm

hokie carla

now just need 2 a's

3:48 pm

moolingwa

me too

3:48 pm

hokie carla

and to figure out what ma8 word might relate to beer

3:48 pm

moolingwa

perhaps they are the same

3:48 pm

hurshy

maybe more whiskey than beer?

3:49 pm

moolingwa

comparatively easy hoke :)

3:49 pm

hurshy

or scotch, single ma4 scotch

3:49 pm

moolingwa

oh yeah, whiskey would probably make more sense if that's your think

3:49 pm

HarryHood

or a falcon.

3:49 pm

hurshy

no, not comparatively easy, superlatively easy!

3:49 pm

moolingwa

but they both use the same ingredients...except for the Hops

3:50 pm

hokie carla

ok, I have the 4 (not gluten free - in before molly)

3:51 pm

moolingwa

well it's harder to find, because it curls at the end on the board

3:51 pm

moolingwa

just type it...don't look for it

3:51 pm

hokie carla

duh, rhymes with the 9. someone could've just said that!

3:51 pm

hurshy

yes, i suppose we could have

3:52 pm

moolingwa

you understand that I only clue that way when I can't come up with something more fun

3:52 pm

moolingwa

I mean I did mention that I got the 9 after mention that the other 8 was ma ;)

3:53 pm

hurshy

i noticed that

3:53 pm

hokie carla

still need 9 M's. I think that's my biggest problem tile.

3:53 pm

moolingwa

7 m's for me...and likewise my most muddling

3:54 pm

hurshy

5 M here

3:54 pm

moolingwa

6 now

3:54 pm

Uneaixoise

6 here

3:54 pm

moolingwa

now it's tied with the S

3:54 pm

hokie carla

keep trying to make maffle work. not cause I think it's a real word, but because I need M's.

3:55 pm

hurshy

oh i only need 2 S

3:55 pm

hokie carla

still 9

3:55 pm

hokie carla

I need 5 S

3:55 pm

hokie carla

and 7 F!

3:55 pm

moolingwa

3:55 pm

hurshy

3:55 pm

hokie carla

moolingwa

3:56 pm

hurshy

3:56 pm

moolingwa

3:56 pm

hokie carla

Mr. Bichon has been Queen Bee four times, I think....i have only gotten to the Genius level on some puzzles....

hokie carla

yeah, I finished a while back

6:44 pm

cybernan

^5 Hagd everyone - stay safe. Our numbers are hitting record highs and everyone is being aske to stay at home and not socialize indoors or out.

6:45 pm

moolingwa

tx on the to...didn't have those

6:46 pm

MollyL

Wait, record highs with all your quarantines and everyone being vaccinated?

6:46 pm

hokie carla

I think they just started vaccines there after us

6:46 pm

Gillie

Vaccination is far behind the US in Canada

6:47 pm

hokie carla

but yes, not sure canadians will ever leave their houses again.

6:48 pm

Gillie

And we weren't as careful about lock-downs after the first one - especially before Christmas. The situation is very bad in Alberta too, but we're still only partly locked down.

6:48 pm

Gillie

There's a lot of resistance to both lockdowns and wearing masks in Alberta.

6:48 pm

dcseain

We're still partly loked down in Virginia also, though we're doing well with vaccination rates.

6:49 pm

hokie carla

there's more resistance to vaccines here from normal, non anti-vaxxers. even my 21 year old niece won't get it because she doesn't want to be infertile. WTF? where did she hear that one?

6:50 pm

Uneaixoise

Clue for ra8 please?

6:50 pm

Gillie

I don't know why, because Canada apparently had early contracts for a number of vaccines, but they've been slow to come. We're probably unwilling to pay a premium for them, and we have no (or little) production capacity.

6:51 pm

hokie carla

I did one not too long ago une, but it may have scrolled off

6:51 pm

hokie carla

I think US gave Can & Mex all our Astra Zeneca shots

6:52 pm

Gillie

They gave us some - not a huge proportion of the total, though.

6:52 pm

Gillie

Still, every bit helps - thanks!

6:52 pm

7:48 pm

moolingwa

to have gotten up again

7:49 pm

MollyL

There is a lot of misinformation about the COVID vaccine floating around. It is too new, and not 100% approved for people to trust it.

7:49 pm

joym999

It's 100% approved by the FDA and the CDC. Who else does it need to be 100% approved by?

7:50 pm

periwinkle

ty and done

7:50 pm

moolingwa

congrats

7:50 pm

moolingwa

still 7 left for me

7:51 pm

MollyL

Emergency Use Authorization is different than approved.

7:54 pm

joym999

so what?

7:56 pm

MollyL

Seriously? So what? Wow

7:57 pm

joym999

Yes. What are you arguing? Are you saying we shouldn't get vaccinated? It's not clear why you're saying this.

7:58 pm

hokie carla

I think she was responding to my statement about my niece's worry of infertility, etc

7:59 pm

MollyL

All I am saying is that is this is a very new vaccine with no guarantees attached to it. Do your research.

7:59 pm

hokie carla

which 7 moo?

8:00 pm

joym999

There's no guarantees with anything. There's also absolutely no evidence that the COVID vaccine is associated with infertility

8:00 pm

MollyL

And yes Carla, what your niece heard about becoming sterile from getting vaccinated is what I was referring to. People need to read the facts.

8:01 pm

hokie carla

yeah, my brother sent her a link saying there was no evidence of that, so hopefully she will consider it.

8:03 pm

joym999

The impact of arguing that the vaccine is unsafe in a public forum like this is that you will dissuade people from getting the vaccine. If you manage to dissuade 100 people from getting vaccinated, and they get COVID, statistically speaking, and depending on age, 2 or 3 of them will die.

8:04 pm

HarryHood

I disagree - people should know facts and make informed decisions. Shutting down educated discussion because we want to line people up rolling their sleeves is not how things should operate. And yes, I've gotten my 2 shots.

8:06 pm

joym999

I'm not trying to shut down discussion. I just think people should qualify their arguments, and think about their impact.

8:07 pm

HarryHood

understood. I don't think molly was inciting fear - just stating the fact that the vaccine has not undergone as rigorous a test as other drugs.

8:08 pm

dan2bit

es7 or st8 anybody?

8:08 pm

joym999

I hope you're right Harry. Maybe I'm just reading her comment wrong.

8:08 pm

hokie carla

but from what I've read, the trial groups were much much larger than regular vaccine trials, so that gives a much larger sample size, so is it less rigorous?

8:10 pm

HarryHood

My understanding is that it was accelerated, so long term effects might not be as well understood. Also the fact that it's a new mRNA thing would generally indicate more study. But this is not my field.

8:10 pm

HarryHood

st8: related to element Sr

8:10 pm

dan2bit

ty HH

8:11 pm

HarryHood

es7 - along the lines of female hormones

8:12 pm

dan2bit

ty again

8:12 pm

hokie carla

but haven't they been working on mRNA for a while and using them for animals? also not my field. :D

8:13 pm

HarryHood

first four of female hormone, ends in alcohol suffix

8:13 pm

HarryHood

at this point I just trust the FDA and hope we learned our lesson with thalidomide

8:14 pm

dan2bit

now hunting the ma6 before the beer word

8:14 pm

hokie carla

ma + L babblet

8:14 pm

HarryHood

oh duh - I thought you said "try again" like "reclue" hahah

8:15 pm

hokie carla

it is oddly a plural of the L babblet which is a Lesovo coin

8:15 pm

dan2bit

haha I should spell it out. thank you HH and carla - firewords

8:15 pm

HarryHood

wtg dan!

Hello, welcome! You do start to learn more words the more you play, but this one today is a tough one.

You do learn a lot of words playing this game. I wish I could remember more of them from day to day. :)

8:38 pm

I've been playing competitive word games sine 1994...and there were new words for me today

8:39 pm

8:44 pm

moolingwa

8:46 pm

joym999

thx...I never know the nautical words.

8:46 pm

Uneaixoise

Don't understand fa6 clue.....

8:47 pm

moolingwa

add a vowel une to the 4

8:47 pm

hokie carla

une, do you remember Don Knotts's character on Three's Company? the fa5 is his name minus last letter.

8:47 pm

joym999

similar to handsome 1950s and 60s Hollywood actor Granger.

8:48 pm

hokie carla

never mind, his name was fu, not fa

8:48 pm

joym999

he was in Strangers on a Train, if you're a Hitchcock fan.

8:49 pm

hokie carla

moo, there are 4 mu5's in a row with double letter and all 4 are weird to me
