mattygroves

OK, did not expect the two ti6s to work.

3:59 am

MollyL

Really? We've had those before. They always make me laugh.

4:00 am

MollyL

They are offensive terms for short people. But then everything is offensive these days.

4:02 am

mattygroves

Yeah, now that you mention it, I have seen them before but I often forget what has gone before ;)

4:02 am

mattygroves

I wasn't thinking about short people, it must be said

4:02 am

MollyL

I can relate, Matty.
: D

4:03 am

MollyL

Randy Newman's song is probably no longer politically correct in our new "cancel culture".

5:07 am

sukee

People still have a sense of humour and "cancel culture" is an overused phrase that means nothing.

5:08 am

mattygroves

It's the favourite term of the right - Fox News, especially whilst the same people who love that term also get most upset when people use freedom of speech to criticise them.

5:09 am

sukee

Exactly. And who always call for boycotts.

5:10 am

mattygroves

Freedom of speech does not equal freedom from consequences - on either side. What freedom of speech gives you is freedom from prosecution, not freedom from being called an asshole. You can say what you like - I don't have to let you say it in my home.

5:10 am

sukee

I am always confused why does the dictionary accept the singular of MA 4/5 but not the plural?

5:13 am

mattygroves

Hmmm...so far every ma4/5 that can be pluraled (has an S in the correct place) has been...

5:14 am

sukee

I actually meant the ma 4/5 is okay but not the me 4/5. Sorry for the confusion.

5:14 am

mattygroves

Aaah, gotya. Yep, that IS true

5:22 am

sukee

See you later.

5:34 am

MollyL

*Puts cancel culture on the list of thing you can't say. And by the way, I am about as far from "right" as it gets.

5:34 am

mattygroves

I wasn't talking about you Molly! I had Tucker Carlson in mind ;) And the British actor Lawrence Fox

5:35 am

MollyL

I didn't think you were Matty. : D
I just wanted to make that abundantly clear.

5:36 am

MollyL

There are so many terms floating around these days. I just learned what "ableist language" was the other day.

5:37 am

mattygroves

It can be difficult - there's no tone of voice in the chog - everyone 'hears' the tone in their own way

5:55 am

MollyL

Same thing happens in face to face conversation though. Otherwise, we would never have to say "that's not what I meant".

6:37 am

HarryHood

speaking of non-pc, Mrs. Funicello is in the grid

6:43 am

HarryHood

6:48 am

6:55 am

nurse1000

Thanks nm

7:06 am

Uneaixoise

Clue for the et7 please?

7:18 am

bubba218

et7 begins with french word for the US + suffix that is used doctors speciality, like pulmonolg***, hematolog***

7:19 am

Jeanius421

great clue for unknown word :-D

7:21 am

Uneaixoise

Tx bubba!!

7:37 am

MollyL

Isn't that part of a French phrase for the US? Or do they just call it the four-letter word?

7:55 am

hokie carla

hmm, spanish is estados unidos so I guess french is similar

7:55 am

hokie carla

got it!

8:03 am

Uneaixoise

Etats-Unis

8:04 am

MollyL

I knew good old Une, the French speaker, would come to the rescue.
: D

8:13 am

penquis

Bonjour!

8:13 am

mattygroves

May I have stats for the 9, and a comment on whether the word is in reasonably common usage?

8:14 am

hokie carla

no 9 on mine

8:14 am

hokie carla

am I playing the right one? ;)

8:14 am

mattygroves

Sorry, I meant 8

8:14 am

mattygroves

Mea culpa

8:14 am

MollyL

em8/50

8:15 am

MollyL

And no, not something that would register in your memory banks

8:15 am

penquis

ty molly.....found it....

8:15 am

hokie carla

related to the em5 at all?

8:15 am

MollyL

Yes Carla

8:15 am

MollyL

Pen probably uses words like that all the time.

8:16 am

penquis

don't think i have actually seen that word before....

8:16 am

penquis

i am just a good guesser... ;o)

8:16 am

MollyL

Then how did you get it so fast? Genius I guess.
: D

8:16 am

penquis

i had gotten the em 5 and just added the ending...

8:16 am

hokie carla

yeah, I was impressed at the speed of that find

8:17 am

penquis

fast typist.... ;o)

8:17 am

hokie carla

I'm still typing and haven't found it

8:17 am

MollyL

I know, I had barely finished posting the stats

8:17 am

penquis

never learned the top row of the keyboard in my typing class, but an emphasis was on speed....

8:17 am

mattygroves

I'm not seeing it either. I wonder if there is more than one em5?

8:18 am

MollyL

Only one Matty

8:18 am

penquis

yes, there is more than one em 5...

8:18 am

hokie carla

oh, I haven't made it 3rd row yet, so I don't know

8:18 am

penquis

it's the em 5/14...

8:18 am

mattygroves

I just wonder if I"m using the right em5 (I only have one)

8:18 am

MollyL

Sorry, I was wrong

8:18 am

hokie carla

maybe that's why I can't get the other em5 to work :D

8:19 am

MollyL

It's the em5/14

8:19 am

penquis

the room is echoing again.... ;o)

8:19 am

mattygroves

Ah hah! Now I have it. Thanks guys

8:19 am

MollyL

Oh, I give up. Pen is like 50 steps ahead of me at every turn.

8:19 am

penquis

yw...

8:19 am

hokie carla

got both, thx

8:20 am

penquis

phantom....mandate....

8:20 am

Shirlockc

that is a weird word, the em

8:21 am

penquis

apparently it is a verb that means the same as the em 5....

8:22 am

hokie carla

the old add extra syllables and letters for no reason. or that was first and we shortened it over time to the 5.

8:23 am

welki

'morning, all

8:23 am

hokie carla

welki!

8:23 am

72 Temple Owl

mattygroves

8:30 am

mattygroves

A sort of Arabian prince

8:31 am

MLFAN17

i was just looking through the chat a little and saw you were talking about am5 that is the one i have

8:32 am

penquis

the am 5/12 and the em 5/12 mean the same....alt spellings of an em 4 word that is not in the grid...

8:33 am

MLFAN17

i havent found the other em 5 also mentioned

8:35 am

penquis

the other em 5 means to edit a text....

8:35 am

hokie carla

there is also an am5/14 same as em5/14, mlfan

8:35 am

hokie carla

the am5 means to make a change, like we've done to our constitution

8:36 am

MollyL

Wow, this chat is getting confusing and I have all the words you are talking about

8:36 am

MLFAN17

i dont have either

8:36 am

penquis

i was just thinking the same thing....

8:38 am

hokie carla

perfectly easy to follow

8:38 am

MollyL

It reminds me of that thing about time and crayons

8:38 am

MLFAN17

8:38 am

MLFAN17

8:42 am

8:42 am

MLFAN17

8:43 am

8:43 am

penquis

8:43 am

MLFAN17

yep

8:43 am

hokie carla

arbitrary guy words as usual

8:43 am

MLFAN17

ty

8:44 am

MollyL

Every time words like that are in the grid, my brain starts singing "Tits And Ass" from A Chorus Line.

8:45 am

penquis

lol...

8:45 am

MLFAN17

i understand that lol

8:45 am

MollyL

And don't bother sending me to the PB. I am already in there mixing drinks, It's Friday.

8:46 am

MLFAN17

i will be back

8:46 am

MollyL

Which is really called "Dance Ten: Looks Three" but no one refers to it as such.

8:46 am

penquis

you did not commit an offense in my book, Molly....;o)

8:48 am

MollyL

Is it time for McLoons yet Pen?

8:48 am

mattygroves

https://youtu.be/izpj28XLd7k - A cover of Jake Thackray's ''Miss World' song.

"Breasts and thighs that hypnotise me,
Galvanise me, so agonisingly,
But such a size that, not surprisingly,
She can hardly move at all."

8:50 am

MollyL

That just doesn't look right with a picture of the baby next to it.

8:50 am

penquis

McLoon's will probably open in mid or late May....

8:51 am

penquis

lobster prices are high right now...

8:51 am

MollyL

They ship through Goldbelly now Pen. Two quarts of lobster stew is $124

8:52 am

hokie carla

how many duhs can I post in a day? duhs not on enable. :D

8:53 am

MollyL

You are usually good for three or four duhs a day Carla.

8:53 am

penquis

usually a one pound lobster is around $8 or $9 this time of year...now it's almost $15, I think....

8:53 am

penquis

that's for live lobster...

8:54 am

mattygroves

I shall buy one and call him George and love him and pet him

8:55 am

penquis

you'd better keep those rubber bands on his claws if you want to pet him....otherwise, you might lose a finger... ;o)

8:55 am

MollyL

Don't mind Matty. She got into the beer early today.

8:56 am

MollyL

And yes, I got the Looney Tunes reference.

8:56 am

hokie carla

9:54 am

rururocks

9:58 am

hokie carla

9:58 am

zoozzoom

Is it a phantom though if pretty much all the word is valid except the last letter.

9:58 am

MLFAN17

ihave the girl's name

9:59 am

hokie carla

but it's not valid without the last letter

9:59 am

MollyL

Well, if the word isn't there, it's a phantom

9:59 am

zoozzoom

As in it should be a word without the D is what I was trying to say lol I think it came across differently.

10:00 am

hokie carla

well, I tried it like 5 times is how I know it's not valid :D and the D is there, just in the wrong place

10:00 am

MollyL

You can feel sh5 and you can be sh6 but you can't feel as6

10:00 am

zoozzoom

It is ashame it is not accepted. lol

10:00 am

hokie carla

I am so ashame for bringing this up

10:01 am

zoozzoom

Haha!

10:01 am

zoozzoom

See it is a word!

10:01 am

MLFAN17

i thought it was a word lol

10:01 am

MollyL

No, you are not ashame. It is a shame you said that.

10:01 am

hokie carla

I know, you don't have to convince me!

10:02 am

MollyL

Shamefully good drinks in the PB for Carla and Zoom

10:03 am

zoozzoom

10:03 am

hokie carla

ice cream is good

10:04 am

hokie carla

I have occasionally had one drink but would rather eat my calories in dessert

10:04 am

penquis

MLF....du + abbreviation for the place where our soldiers fought in the late sixties and early seventies....

10:05 am

hokie carla

thx mlfan, ends in short form of war in 60s/70s

10:05 am

hokie carla

10:05 am

hokie carla

10:06 am

MLFAN17

10:07 am

zoozzoom

Dane is there, Mlf.

10:08 am

zoozzoom

It is not a valid word but it is there!

10:09 am

MLFAN17

thats what i mean i always try it

10:11 am

zoozzoom

Are the two Ts easy words or not familiar?

10:11 am

hokie carla

well, they are stupid, that's for sure - end in enable's favorite/not favorite ending to describe males who like something

10:11 am

hokie carla

or do something

10:11 am

MollyL

We have had them before Zoom

10:12 am

hokie carla

actually means the runt pig

10:12 am

marksdolly

good morning all!

10:12 am

marksdolly

hi Hokie!

10:12 am

hokie carla

hello dolly!

10:12 am

MLFAN17

hi zooz

10:12 am

MollyL

Or the runt of any litter, or a short person

10:12 am

MLFAN17

hi mark

10:12 am

marksdolly

nice of you to sing to me Hokie! :)

10:12 am

marksdolly

hi MLF!

10:12 am

hokie carla

:D

10:13 am

MollyL

She's Dolly, She's Mark. Do we have to refer to her as they? : D

10:13 am

zoozzoom

Oh! Yes I got them now. Thank you.

10:14 am

hokie carla

does she have MPD?

10:14 am

marksdolly

nope, it is Dolly, Mark is my hubby and Dolly is his nickname for me :)

10:15 am

MollyL

Oh please don't tell me that I am hipper than you about something. The new thing is people who feel both male and female wanting to be called they.

10:15 am

hokie carla

yes, I'm aware of pronoun preference

10:15 am

MollyL

Then why did you ask about Multiple Personality Disorder?

10:16 am

hokie carla

and they isn't really for those who feel both, they just don't want to be referred to by the one

10:16 am

hokie carla

because you said she was Mark and Dolly

10:17 am

MollyL

Then I think we should come up with a new pronoun. They is confusing. Shim? Sher?

10:17 am

hokie carla

people who want to be they are 2 different people

10:17 am

marksdolly

lol you girls are making me laugh

10:18 am

hokie carla

I think they tried ze or zhe too but that didn't really catch on. I agree I do not like they to refer to one person as it makes reading something very confusing.

10:18 am

hokie carla

and what I meant to say was people who want to be referred to as "they" are NOT 2 different people.

10:18 am

MollyL

Yeah, I was wondering about that

10:19 am

hokie carla

I bet you are also wondering how many words I have left. :P 15!

10:19 am

MollyL

Not at all. I figured out that if I keep you talking about something I don't have to read all that.

10:20 am

hokie carla

LOL, I almost posted you are just trying to keep me distracted

10:20 am

MollyL

Or the T G C P F thing

10:20 am

marksdolly

lol

10:20 am

hokie carla

oh, since you asked... S S M TT N H LL RR SSS R

10:21 am

hokie carla

2 7s left. may have to check the flip.

10:22 am

hokie carla

oh, there's a delicious S6 I hope you have in the PB now. 14 left!

hokie carla

hmm, doesn't look like my missing 7s were called at the flip.

10:27 am

mattygroves

I only have 2 7s :(

10:27 am

hokie carla

there's a vaccine for one

10:27 am

MollyL

I mix drinks in there. I am not the ice cream man

10:28 am

hokie carla

one is americanized spelling so that might be tripping you up

10:28 am

MollyL

She was American once

10:28 am

hokie carla

so close to having statement

10:28 am

hokie carla

I know, but she has been british for a while

10:30 am

mattygroves

I have an American spelling on (it7)... and yeah, I'm very mid-Atlantic ;)

10:31 am

hokie carla

ok. I have et7, it7, st7, and te7

10:32 am

MollyL

It is so amusing how people will make lists in the chat, check the flip, ask for clues but they won't just look at LIckety

10:32 am

mattygroves

OK, I now have three - the it, the st (which I could have sworn I'd entered) and the et

10:32 am

hokie carla

found another te7

10:33 am

hokie carla

I will look eventually

10:33 am

hokie carla

was just giving matty some unasked for help :D

10:33 am

mattygroves

I often do look at Lickety - but it depends on how committed I am to finishing. What gets me is when someone needs a clue so specific (even after a word has been clued more vaugely) that they might as well use morewords (which I do use sometimes)

10:34 am

hokie carla

agreed, I look up stuff all the time

10:35 am

mattygroves

There was one time where I just asked the requester for her email address and just gave her the word (with her permission). I do sometimes have to stop myself from just saying 'it's xxxx, is that enough of a clue?'

10:35 am

MollyL

Some people would just rather sit back and be clued than make the effort to find something on their own

10:35 am

hokie carla

now have 4x4, 7x5, 1x6, and 1x7. set up better than usual.

10:36 am

hokie carla

yeah, that's fine if you want a clever clue, but if you want a spell it out clue you may as well look it up.

10:37 am

MollyL

Used to be a "norm" here that you never gave more than the first two letters in your clue. People don't realize that when they clue retool as re + to4 they have given up most of the word

10:38 am

MLFAN17

the 8 is pl?

10:38 am

mattygroves

No

10:38 am

hokie carla

no

10:39 am

MLFAN17

ty still looking

10:41 am

Uneaixoise

Another: si7

10:42 am

hokie carla

thanks, une. looking...

10:42 am

hokie carla

can you tell me which S?

10:43 am

Uneaixoise

Top left

10:45 am

hokie carla

will have to put a pin in that for now, thx

10:47 am

cybernan

good morning everyone :)

10:48 am

Uneaixoise

Hey nan!

10:48 am

hokie carla

howdy nan

10:49 am

MollyL

I just read the definition for that si7 and my brain hurts

10:50 am

hokie carla

do share

10:51 am

cybernan

Up here it is the name of a company that makes electrical parts -- like circuit breakers and such

10:52 am

Uneaixoise

Ditto, molly..... not what I expected

10:52 am

hokie carla

well, I KNOW I tried that even though it's a proper noun, but it didn't take. now it did.

10:52 am

MollyL

Well what do you know. It is the name of a company here too.

10:52 am

marksdolly

ty nan! I was right there and it came to mind right off the bat!

10:53 am

MollyL

It is not a proper noun. Look at the mind bending definition

10:53 am

hokie carla

well, it is also a proper noun as a company name

10:53 am

hokie carla

I had no idea what they make though

10:54 am

hokie carla

looks like HQ is in Germany

10:54 am

cybernan

lol - you just haven't built or renoated enough houses, carla

10:54 am

hokie carla

well, 10 left!

10:55 am

MollyL

They make a lot of medical equipment. I used to work for a General Contractor who built out MRI offices and they installed a lot of Si7 equipment

10:55 am

hokie carla

just for molly - S M T N H LL SS R.

10:56 am

MollyL

You should start doing those just for Serenity Now. She is our resident bitter one and you made her profile for that. It's a fake name of someone who is too chicken shit to post their bitter stuff with their Babble name.

10:57 am

MollyL

She usually takes her pot shots at Ru and I, but apparently, you have made her list as well. Congratulations.

10:58 am

hokie carla

oh wow, I had no idea.

11:00 am

hokie carla

I like to do it because I'm hoping someone will take a guess at my missing words. guess I will just muddle along now on my own. hate to make someone bitter and need their serenity.

11:00 am

MollyL

I wouldn't worry about it Carla.

11:01 am

cybernan

my first 9 letters would be s's -- don't know what they can be either

11:02 am

hokie carla

well, I don't want how I enjoy the game to infringe on someone else's enjoyment of the game. if they have so little going on that they have to be bitter about a chat on a word game, then I don't want to make it worse.

11:02 am

hokie carla

what do you mean, nan, by your first 9 letters?

11:03 am

cybernan

If I were to list my missing words -- but just found one more so down to 8 s's now -- along with 61 other words :)

11:03 am

hokie carla

also, when I see something in here that bothers me I usually just click out of the chatterbox.

11:03 am

hokie carla

oh, I see.

11:07 am

marksdolly

tada!!

11:07 am

moolingwa

here for my final 193

11:09 am

Uneaixoise

Clue for un6/24 please?

11:10 am

moolingwa

action of removing your chapeau?

11:10 am

cybernan

removes headgear plural

11:10 am

hokie carla

well done dolly!

11:10 am

hokie carla

moo!!

11:11 am

moolingwa

hey hoke...we made it to another Friday!

11:11 am

hokie carla

well, technically nan, it's not a plural for a verb, it's more present tense I guess.

11:11 am

hokie carla

is it friday?

11:12 am

moolingwa

yeah, I got my milk delivered

11:12 am

moolingwa

they're pretty good with remembering the day

11:12 am

hokie carla

LOL

11:12 am

cybernan

yep - wasn't thinking, carla

11:13 am

hokie carla

moo, I've just been informed that I've made some bitter player's shit list for saying my remaining tiles in the chog

11:14 am

moolingwa

there's a lot of things to get upset about, that would seem pretty low on the list

11:14 am

hokie carla

I know, I don't understand

11:14 am

MollyL

Carla seriously, don't worry about it. All this person does is bitch, and it's mostly about me. I'm sure she will forget about you in time. And she is SO not worth it.

11:15 am

moolingwa

I'd be happy to post my remaining tiles in solidarity

11:15 am

hokie carla

are you down to 10 yet?

11:15 am

MollyL

She doesn't even play anymore. She just logs in here to change the bitchy comments in her profile.

11:16 am

moolingwa

74

11:16 am

moolingwa

might be a bit unwieldy right now

11:16 am

rururocks

SHE never really played.. she plays under another name

11:16 am

hokie carla

true

11:16 am

cybernan

Think you just gave yourself a starring role in said profile, Molly -- I am sure you are very concerned about that :D

11:17 am

MollyL

Nan, that person's profile is good for a few laughs. But truth is, she must be a very sad person.

11:17 am

rururocks

*holding up a picture of a rat's ass*

11:18 am

mamabook3

I enjoy seeing people post how many they have left. Encourages me that other people are struggling... but making progress.

11:18 am

moolingwa

are you giving us a rat's ass ru?

11:18 am

MollyL

I was wondering what that was Ru.
: D

11:18 am

moolingwa

now if anyone asks me the question, I'll have an answer

11:18 am

hokie carla

hi mama!

11:19 am

MollyL

Even in Babble, misery loves company.
: D

11:19 am

mamabook3

hi carla

11:19 am

cybernan

I just look at all the 4's I'm still missing and wonder why I'm not seeing them

11:20 am

moolingwa

I find if you ignore trolls, they have no power

11:20 am

mattygroves

Back when I used to write on review websites (Ciao and Dooyoo, there was a member called Trueserenity who was a horrible human being. Anything but serene.

11:20 am

moolingwa

how many 4s you have left nan?

11:20 am

hokie carla

I have 3 4's left out of 10 and cannot see where they could possibly be.

11:20 am

mattygroves

At the risk of making a shit list, may I have a wee clue for the TE7s? Just a nudge?

11:20 am

cybernan

29

11:21 am

hokie carla

remember I said there's a vaccine for one, lockjaw

11:21 am

moolingwa

oh, I'm only slightly ahead of you then nan...26

11:21 am

hokie carla

the other is related

11:21 am

MollyL

Matty, please remember what Carla said.

11:22 am

hokie carla

smarty :P

11:22 am

MollyL

And Matty, please come join us on the shit list. We will have t-shirts made

11:22 am

hokie carla

it's possible she missed the post

11:23 am

moolingwa

50 to go

11:23 am

hokie carla

I just watched a video where a woman got attacked by a rabid bobcat in her driveway and her husband went and grabbed it and hurled it through the air

11:24 am

MollyL

Ooo, I bet he's feeling very studly about that

11:24 am

moolingwa

oh yeah, I saw that one too...wasn't sure what it was tho

11:25 am

hokie carla

it was in NC but I didn't recognize the county so I don't know where

11:25 am

rururocks

a rabid bobcat will make your commute a bit difficult I'd guess

11:26 am

mattygroves

Thank you!

11:26 am

mattygroves

And I'm good about being on a shit list of someone I don't know, will likely never meet and has absolutely zero influence over my life ;)

11:26 am

hokie carla

you're welcome!

11:26 am

rururocks

*claps for matty* I feel the same way

11:27 am

mattygroves

I did, of course, look for Serenity Now's profile just out of evil curiosity but can't find it ;)

11:27 am

rururocks

that's the point matty.. she/he doesn't play.. they only use that identity to bitch and cause trouble.

11:27 am

cybernan

we're experiencing problems with coyotes in parks attacking people. This world is going crazy with wild animals in populated areas -- not the least of which are gun toting idiots and over zealous police

11:28 am

hokie carla

yeah, I don't really care either. if I was being nasty I would feel bad, but I'm just playing the game. who is she to say how people can play?

11:28 am

hokie carla

I think coyotes are taking over everywhere

11:29 am

rururocks

we are having coyote problems in SF too nan

11:29 am

mattygroves

I really don't understand people like that. Especially here - we're a bunch of women and men who like word games - many of us are of a certain age and older who just pass the time here - it's not like we're an anti (or pro) vaccine board, or a left or right wing message board, or QANON or a conspiracy theory website

11:29 am

Uneaixoise

Tx for the te7's!

11:29 am

MollyL

Nan, you are The Queen of COVID. Don't you know that it has affected the wildlife too? WIth no people around, there is less for them to forage through. So they are moving towards the suburban areas.

11:30 am

Uneaixoise

Had lots of coyotes several years ago but not now.....so much new construction has destroyed their local nesting areas

11:31 am

cybernan

I didn't think humans and the garbage the leave behind was their natural diet

11:32 am

Uneaixoise

Yes.....back when we had lots, they were foraging in restaurant trash bins

11:32 am

hokie carla

coyotes are open season here. they are considered a nuisance. a lot of people on Next Door are like "we took over their land". No, we didn't, they aren't native to NC. They are predators without anything really to prey on them here.

11:32 am

rururocks

they're good at removing loose kitties

11:33 am

MollyL

Nan, have you never had raccoons digging through your trash cans?

11:33 am

cybernan

We always have a couple nesting in the woods next to our golf course. I always thought it was a shame that Canada geese weren't on their list of prey.

11:33 am

hokie carla

agreed, canada geese are a nuisance here in my opinion

11:34 am

rururocks

I like geese.. they used to stop at our property in Calistoga

11:34 am

hokie carla

we hear coyotes at night around here and have caught some on my game camera

11:34 am

rururocks

I was always taking a gander at them

11:37 am

mattygroves

We don't have foxes or raccoons but we do get urban foxes.

11:37 am

mattygroves

And red kites (a bird of prey) have really taken off around us. Also, wild parakeets

11:40 am

hokie carla

I've never lived anywhere raccoons are a problem. haven't even ever seen them at a campground, which they are commonly at.

11:41 am

hokie carla

ru, did your dogs like the goose poop? Winston thinks that and rabbit poop are a great delicacy.

11:41 am

bichon

We have problems with woodchucks

11:42 am

rururocks

he was never let off leash there due to rattle snakes

11:42 am

hokie carla

not even sure I'd know a woodchuck if I saw one

11:42 am

mattygroves

So YOU can tell us, bichon, how much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood!

11:43 am

hokie carla

we did a hike last fall and saw 2 rattlesnakes. did not like.

11:44 am

rururocks

snakes frighten me .. especially poisonous ones

11:45 am

bichon

Woodchucks are also known as groundhogs. We have groundhog day in the US

11:45 am

hokie carla

oh, then I know what it looks like

11:46 am

hokie carla

they are also called whistle pigs in some parts of the country

11:47 am

rururocks

now THAT I didn't know

11:47 am

hokie carla

I just learned that recently. I think it's more of a midwest thing

11:48 am

rururocks

are woodchucks related to beavers?

11:48 am

rururocks

or squirrels?

11:48 am

bichon

don't think so

11:49 am

cybernan

or marmots?

11:50 am

rururocks

it's actually a rodent

11:50 am

hokie carla

I just read they are in the marmot family which is a large ground squirrel, so yes to both those

11:51 am

MollyL

We have Canadian geese nesting in my office parking lot. It's fun when the babies hatch. (For those of you who like babies) : D

11:51 am

hokie carla

but they are also called land beavers in some places too

11:51 am

rururocks

there's a joke there somewhere hokie.. I just better not post it

11:52 am

MollyL

Trigger alert!

11:53 am

hokie carla

for the french canadians in the crowd they are siffleux

11:53 am

rururocks

I actually have beavers in the creek behind my house

11:53 am

hokie carla

they will clear that land fast, ru!

11:53 am

rururocks

they are pretty active for sure.. the winery has to deal with them

11:54 am

hokie carla

hey, I still have 10 words left

11:54 am

rururocks

whatever you do.. Don't list them or offend you-know-who

11:55 am

hokie carla

S M T N H LL SS R, if you want to make any guesses, ru

11:56 am

rururocks

s in the upper left corner?

11:56 am

rururocks

si 7 related to the Ohm

11:59 am

hokie carla

did you take a work break, moo?

11:59 am

moolingwa

actually was doing some things with my daughter for a few

11:59 am

rururocks

got to get to work and I have company staying for the weekend. Have fun everyone

11:59 am

hokie carla

nice

12:00 pm

hokie carla

have a good weekend, ru

12:00 pm

moolingwa

we were checking to see if our Terbium and Europium glowed under black light

12:00 pm

hokie carla

and?

12:00 pm

MollyL

I do that a lot

12:01 pm

moolingwa

it didn't, thinking we might have alloys rather than the pure element

12:01 pm

hokie carla

sounds like untrustworthy element salesmen

12:02 pm

hokie carla

molly ICYMI (ru is gone)they are collecting all the non-radioactive elements

12:02 pm

moolingwa

well, some elements aren't particularly stable, so the only way you can get them is in compound form

12:02 pm

MollyL

Yeah, and that terbium they sell at Walmart is usually sub-par

12:05 pm

moolingwa

20 to go

12:06 pm

well, I wish I could say I've found more.

em8 pls. hi all

12:07 pm

cybernan

have never heard of terbium -- what is it used for and why would it be sold at walmart?

12:08 pm

moolingwa

it's one of the rare earth elements, if you look at the periodic table (or chart) it's in the separate bar at the bottom

12:08 pm

moolingwa

As to what it's used for, most of the rare earths are used for high tech things, like phones, lasers etc

12:08 pm

periwinkle

help with u too please

12:09 pm

cybernan

ok - so that still means absolutely nothing to me -- why is it sold at walmart -- for what?

12:09 pm

moolingwa

it's not sold at walmart

12:09 pm

MollyL

Peri, add consumed to an em5

12:09 pm

periwinkle

I doubt that it is sold at Walmart nan.I think Molly was being facetious

12:09 pm

MollyL

The Walmart comment was a joke Nan

12:10 pm

periwinkle

ty looking for em5

12:10 pm

moolingwa

terbium oxide apparently is used in fluorescent lights

12:10 pm

cybernan

oh I thought someone said the terbium sold at walmart wasn't pure enough

12:10 pm

moolingwa

so I guess indirectly it's sold at walmart

12:10 pm

MollyL

I did, it was a joke

12:10 pm

hokie carla

who's on first?

12:11 pm

mattygroves

What's on second?

12:11 pm

don't get the joke, but that's ok. Back in the dark ages, chemistry wan't a core subject in school and needless to say I chose music as a option over chemistry

12:14 pm

moolingwa

music's good too...I would like to spend some time to learn an instrument or two

12:16 pm

cybernan

have to say, I don't play anything anymore and my voice left a long time ago, but still enjoy listening

12:16 pm

MollyL

I wonder if they sell bazookas at Walmart?

12:16 pm

moolingwa

well I don't have the voice to start with :)

12:16 pm

cybernan

* and I could still conduct a musical group if needed, for all the good that does!

12:16 pm

hokie carla

uh-oh, a joke within a joke

12:17 pm

MollyL

Alas, only the bubble gum and the car speakers

12:18 pm

hokie carla

I played flute from 5th -12th grade. Still have it and can play. Can pick out stuff on the piano and can read the upper hand as it's the same as flute. tried learning the fiddle 2 or 3 years ago and could scratch out some basic tunes, but it is super hard.

12:18 pm

cybernan

not sure about bazookas, but they do sell harmonicas and plastic recorders (ugh)

12:18 pm

hokie carla

are you thinking of kazoos?

12:19 pm

cybernan

I don't know - MOlly said bazooka - have no idea what that is

12:20 pm

MollyL

Oh man, I need to put my beverage down.

12:21 pm

hokie carla

oh my

12:21 pm

cybernan

why is it that words tried earlier aren't accepted until after you list?

12:21 pm

moolingwa

for me, it's mostly typos...could be lag too I guess

12:21 pm

moolingwa

I also sometimes think I've tried things, but it was yesterday or the day before

12:22 pm

hokie carla

normally I would chalk it up to typos but I KNOW I tried that si7 correctly and it didn't take.

12:23 pm

zoozzoom

I have many words I know i puit in during a go in the morning only to find they have gone when I come back at a later time. Have refreshed before I leave but it still does it.

12:23 pm

cybernan

darn -- I never see that darned goat

12:24 pm

hokie carla

that happens to me too zooz, but this is the first time I typed a word that was rejected and then it worked later.

12:24 pm

moolingwa

I've seen submission issues with big boards, could also be a problem when there are more people on

12:24 pm

hokie carla

is there an RH? can't find that last R in the corner

12:24 pm

cybernan

have to admit, I did forget to refresh before leaving last night

12:25 pm

zoozzoom

Yes, Hokie.

12:25 pm

hokie carla

aha. looking...

12:26 pm

cybernan

that is a babblet that is hard to forget considering the players around here :)

12:26 pm

hokie carla

I swear i tried that too after I asked and it said no

12:31 pm

cybernan

*!*~*!* anyone want help?

12:32 pm

flosey

the em8? itss soooo close to a common word

12:32 pm

MollyL

I think Carla's fingers need a 20,000 mile check up

12:32 pm

flosey

nm.... found it

12:32 pm

cybernan

add consumed to the word before it, flosey

12:33 pm

hokie carla

maybe I need to do some typing practice

12:33 pm

MollyL

Or get the gluten-free cupcake crumbs out of your keyboard

12:33 pm

MollyL

Did you all know Carla was gluten-free?

12:33 pm

hokie carla

are you spying on me?

12:34 pm

off for the day then -- have a good one everyone :)

12:41 pm

Uneaixoise

12:42 pm

hokie carla

so, my upper right S I could not find is a word I definitely tried earlier. so frustrating.

12:42 pm

mattygroves

I have 34 left and because I don't feel like properly listing, I suspect I may finish the day on 34ish left

12:43 pm

hokie carla

still a job well done, matty

12:46 pm

moolingwa

it's a fair run matty

12:47 pm

hokie carla

tada. note to self: retype everything at least 3x

12:48 pm

moolingwa

still 12 left for me...4 of them are 7s

12:48 pm

moolingwa

ah, found a 7

12:48 pm

moolingwa

oh, and another 7

12:49 pm

hokie carla

there was at least one weird one I got from chat clue

12:49 pm

moolingwa

ah, well I just got a couple of lockjaw related ones

12:51 pm

moolingwa

S E M TT AA D S U

12:51 pm

moolingwa

found the u

12:52 pm

hokie carla

my last M was new to me. I assume your 2 T's are the 4th col. I finished all the As on my own, which should tell you something about them.

12:54 pm

hokie carla

there was a set of weird D's but if you just need 1, I'm guessing it's an odd 4

1:36 pm

moolingwa

T's are in the middle column

1:37 pm

hokie carla

do you have the scot veggie?

1:38 pm

hokie carla

my last one was another word for sieve that I didn't know we needed

1:53 pm

moolingwa

looking thanks

1:55 pm

moolingwa

found my last D

1:56 pm

moolingwa

ah, there was a word I thought I had typed :)

1:57 pm

moolingwa

a's done

2:16 pm

joym999

I swear I spent 15 minutes last night looking for that TE7, and today it just leapt up out of the screen at me.

2:18 pm

moolingwa

hopefully you were wearing safety glasses

2:18 pm

joym999

LOL

2:20 pm

hokie carla

and are vaccinated against it :D

2:20 pm

moolingwa

6 to go

2:20 pm

moolingwa

S E M TT S

2:21 pm

hokie carla

I suspect the E is a 7

2:21 pm

MollyL

Carla just needed to get that vaccinated comment in one more time (we hope)

2:21 pm

hokie carla

yep, one last jab

2:21 pm

moolingwa

it was a shot that needed to be taken

2:22 pm

hokie carla

way to inject some humor here

2:22 pm

MollyL

Oh but you won't be able to stop yourself the next time someone mentions te7

2:23 pm

moolingwa

Well at least the reaction was mild

2:24 pm

clg47

The question is are the anti vaccers refusing the te7 shot?

2:25 pm

moolingwa

hey now, let's not needle the antivax crowd

2:25 pm

joym999

impressive collection of shotty puns here

2:26 pm

moolingwa

perhaps they'll go viral

2:27 pm

hokie carla

this punning is contagious

2:28 pm

MollyL

My jaw is locked about anyone refusing the te7 vaccine

2:28 pm

hokie carla

hate to break it to you but the anti-vaxxers do

2:28 pm

hokie carla

for their kids at least, they've all had them when they were kids

2:30 pm

MollyL

Wow, I never saw a pun go sailing that high over someone's head before. Jaw locked/lockjaw

2:30 pm

moolingwa

unfortunately, they're immune to the logic

2:31 pm

hokie carla

no I got it

2:32 pm

MollyL

Oh, then you were just trying to incite another vaccine debate? : D

2:33 pm

hokie carla

did I miss one?

2:33 pm

MollyL

You know how it is, people get preachy about COVID

2:34 pm

hokie carla

well, some COVID anti-vaxxers are not regular anti-vaxxers.

2:34 pm

moolingwa

COVID is more of a political statement

2:35 pm

moolingwa

regular anti-vaxxers moreso span the political spectrum

2:36 pm

MollyL

Silly me, I didn't know there were different camps of people opposed to vaccines.

2:36 pm

MollyL

Is it like a whole Anti-Vaccine Nation with different tribes?

2:38 pm

hokie carla

yep, anti-vaxxers on both sides

2:43 pm

moolingwa

still 6

2:43 pm

MollyL

Well, as far as the COVID vaccine, everyone do your homework on the FDA and CDC sites and don't believe what you hear people say or post on the interet

2:44 pm

MollyL

Or the internet

2:46 pm

hokie carla

well, I'm going to head outside. good luck, moo. will check in later.

2:48 pm

moolingwa

tx

2:53 pm

joym999

"don't believe what you hear people say or post on the internet" is probably a good rule for EVERYTHING.

3:10 pm

joym999

Is the AT6 a normal word?

3:13 pm

penquis

mine is...

3:14 pm

joym999

just saw it, thanks penquis

3:15 pm

penquis

yw...

3:27 pm

MollyL

It is a good rule for everything. Especially about things that involve your health.

3:39 pm

hurshy

i just got my first vaccine shot!!! *happy dance*

3:40 pm

joym999

congrats, hurshy. which type did you get?

3:40 pm

hurshy

pfizer

3:41 pm

hurshy

i pfeel pfine

3:41 pm

joym999

lucky...I hear pfizer's has fewer side effects that the Moderna, which is what I got.

3:41 pm

hurshy

yeah that is what i heard too, esp they said moderna was more likely to give migraines, esp to people who do get migraines already, which is me

3:42 pm

hurshy

my mom had moderna and she did fine tho

3:42 pm

joym999

migraines are awful. I've only gotten them maybe 5 times in my life, and that was more than enough. My sympathies to you.

3:43 pm

joym999

My arm was sore with both Moderna shots, and after the second I was a zombie for a day or so.

3:44 pm

MotherOwl

Should I feel offended that my demonym is not foi´und in the dictionary?

3:44 pm

hurshy

well, some kinds of migraines are worse than others. there are "classic" migraines - where you see auras and all that stuff, and then there are "common" migraines, which don't have those components, which is the kind that i get. it started after i had my tonsils out, so my friend who is a headache specialist doctor said that it probably was from going under the general anesthesia for that

3:45 pm

MotherOwl

And I come from Denmark. Where is my flag?

3:45 pm

hurshy

it's there, Mother Owl

3:46 pm

hurshy

you might need to refresh your browser

3:46 pm

hurshy

and welcome! :)

3:47 pm

joym999

I see your flag, motherowl

3:47 pm

MotherOwl

Yes, thanks. It did the trick.
And thanks for the welcome: On my way to bed (local time 22.46) just gave it one more shot. ;) But still not found.

3:47 pm

joym999

I didn't realize that migraines were a side effect from general anesthesia. Yikes.

3:49 pm

hurshy

not necessarily, joym, nor do i think "side effect" is really the right term for what happened to me.

3:50 pm

hurshy

i'd been given general anesthesia on an earlier occasion to have my wisdom teeth out, and that did not cause a problem. but for some reason, sometimes our brains/nervous systems can misinterpret pain and anti-pain signals in weird ways.

3:50 pm

joym999

awful

3:50 pm

hokie carla

I used to have migraines in my early 20s. I did have about a week of headache after first moderna shot but not migraine and really could've been anything. my brother had a week of bad headaches and a half day of feeling like he had to the flu with Pfizer, so I really don't think any have less or more side effects.

3:51 pm

hurshy

well hokie that's anecdotal. i think as a percentage of all people getting the vaccines, moderna has been said to have more people get side effects.

3:51 pm

hurshy

obviously both have SOME people get SOME side effects

3:52 pm

joym999

yeh, the evidence, which is by no means complete or clear, seems to indicate more side effects from the 2nd Moderna, but mine weren't too bad.

3:52 pm

hokie carla

that's my point. and I haven't seen any evidence of anything that wasn't anectdotal.

3:56 pm

hurshy

i just looked up and found a chart that actually says the opposite, a greater % of pfizer people getting side effects. so i guess i was misinformed!

3:58 pm

hurshy

meanwhile, we got snow on april 16! that was unexpected.

3:59 pm

moolingwa

still 6 :)

4:00 pm

hokie carla

my other brother had no side effects at all after his 2nd shot. in my internet research I just discovered that women have worse side effects and more autoimmune disease, but I don't remember if they were saying that was related...

4:00 pm

hokie carla

come on, moo!

4:00 pm

moolingwa

I know right

4:00 pm

hurshy

only 6 words left? i need more than that just for Ms!

4:01 pm

moolingwa

I may have been playing this board longer than you hursh :)

4:01 pm

hurshy

yes, mostly likely :D

4:02 pm

moolingwa

I did have a word that I had typed not show up hoke...just to join in on the fun

4:02 pm

hokie carla

it's catching today

4:03 pm

hokie carla

it was cold here this morning, hurshy, but at least no snow!

4:03 pm

moolingwa

we got a couple of inches last night

4:04 pm

moolingwa

a good part of it is melted now

4:04 pm

hokie carla

just realized today is the anniversary of the VT shootings. it snowed on campus that day.

4:05 pm

moolingwa

it feels like we get a new one every day :(

4:09 pm

hokie carla

:(

4:11 pm

moolingwa

I'm about 15 minutes or so away from where the Boulder one was...I went into my local King Soopers the other day, and they had a memorial setup near the front, and it was just so sad

4:11 pm

hurshy

yeah the other day i had to sit through a police officer telling 6th graders what to do if an active shooter situation happens...

4:14 pm

joym999

Don't get me started on guns...it's crazy the way we let any idiot buy any kind of gun in this country.

4:19 pm

moolingwa

still 6 to go

4:20 pm

hokie carla

I forgot which ones

4:20 pm

moolingwa

4:25 pm

hokie carla

hokie carla

hurshy

4:25 pm

hurshy

4:26 pm

moolingwa

4:26 pm

hurshy

and i thought of our old buddy sienite

4:26 pm

hokie carla

I even tried sizetit

4:26 pm

moolingwa

of course

4:26 pm

moolingwa

I am not confirming or denying I tried that

4:27 pm

hokie carla

but I can tell y'all the points too low for the z

4:27 pm

hokie carla

BTW, this is the first word I tried and it said not a word but it really was

4:27 pm

hurshy

well i wonder what joy meant instead of se7

4:28 pm

moolingwa

st perhaps

4:28 pm

hurshy

ah, but i have that

4:29 pm

hokie carla

do you have et7?

4:29 pm

hurshy

ooh i got the si! i only knew that as a proper noun but i put it anyway just in case

4:29 pm

joym999

oops sorry yes I meant ST not SE

4:29 pm

hurshy

i do not have et7! so that is my last 7

4:29 pm

penquis

4:34 pm

hokie carla

4:34 pm

moolingwa

I had a glass of chocolate milk...is that close enough?

4:34 pm

moolingwa

if you mean the 6, then yes

4:35 pm

hokie carla

maybe if you froze it and put some things on it

4:36 pm

moolingwa

well s done...my last was a 4 there

4:36 pm

moolingwa

E M TT 2x5, 1x6 and 1x7

4:37 pm

hokie carla

4:37 pm

joym999

apparently you can't spell tsunami without the T, which is totally unfair

4:37 pm

moolingwa

yes

4:37 pm

penquis

ty, carla...didn't have that one...

4:37 pm

moolingwa

which is also a word of couse

4:37 pm

moolingwa

or is it tunfair?

4:38 pm

hokie carla

LOL, joy, I "saw" that too

4:38 pm

hokie carla

4:38 pm

hokie carla

moo, I told you what the 7 was

4:38 pm

moolingwa

was my last s

4:38 pm

moolingwa

you probably did

4:39 pm

joym999

if you can be a boobieboy, I would think you could have solar headgear.

4:39 pm

moolingwa

one would think right?

4:39 pm

joym999

lol hokie

4:40 pm

hokie carla

solar headgear is definitely a word. or a band name

4:40 pm

moolingwa

what kind of music would they perform?

4:41 pm

joym999

hot music!

4:41 pm

moolingwa

hah

4:41 pm

hokie carla

polish death metal. no, that doesn't seem right.

4:42 pm

moolingwa

feels flaming lippish to me

4:42 pm

hokie carla

there is an M5 that per the def. is a proper noun from mythology

4:42 pm

joym999

Only 4 words left. Soon I'll have to go back to work. Maybe I'll have a cup of tea first.

4:42 pm

moolingwa

make sure you pace yourself joy

4:44 pm

hokie carla

I am appliance shopping again. The oven combo I want has been out of stock for months so trying to find something similar.

4:45 pm

moolingwa

I would like to get a new cooktop, but I also want to replace my counters

4:45 pm

moolingwa

found my last 6

4:46 pm

joym999

we renovated our kitchen about 6 years ago. It was several months of hell, then bliss afterwards.

4:46 pm

hokie carla

we just painted the cabinets but kept the counters, but I want to replace all the appliances

4:46 pm

hokie carla

there is an appliance shortage now due to covid-19

4:46 pm

moolingwa

yeah I had my cabinets painted a couple of years ago...though they did an amateur job :(

4:47 pm

moolingwa

yeah, my garage fridge broke about 2 months into the pandemic

4:47 pm

moolingwa

that was an interesting shopping experience

4:47 pm

moolingwa

my dishwasher then sprung a leak around October...but ended up fixing that myself rather than get someone come to the house

4:47 pm

hokie carla

yeah, amateur job was done here as well. so annoying.

4:48 pm

hokie carla

he also got paint all over the cooktop and the oven. little tiny dots that I could scrape away eventually but ain't nobody got time for that

4:48 pm

moolingwa

yeah, annoying

4:49 pm

moolingwa

I have a more lasting problem...the paint has come off in high traffic spots

4:49 pm

hokie carla

we bought our garage fridge in our first house back in '95 and it's still going

4:49 pm

joym999

I've had a broken cabinet drawer for more than a year now because I don't want the repairman in the kitchen. We've got stuff in boxes on the floor.

4:49 pm

moolingwa

I moved the fridge the house came with to the garage...was about 20 years old when it gave up

4:50 pm

moolingwa

when they delivered the new one, they left it on the pallet, no installation...it was early on, so they didn't want to do anything

4:50 pm

hokie carla

yeah, I did not like having this painter in our house for a week, esp when I heard him having a coughing fit one day.

4:50 pm

joym999

yikes

4:50 pm

joym999

yikes

4:51 pm

hokie carla

but he was a heavy smoker as evidenced by the butts he left outside, so I'm sure it was related to that

4:51 pm

moolingwa

yay

4:52 pm

moolingwa

oh, there's my last m

4:52 pm

moolingwa

4:58 pm

hokie carla

not sure how you all instantly found that. am I the only one here who doesn't know french?

4:59 pm

moolingwa

no, but if I was french I would totally have tried it

4:59 pm

hurshy

possibly. haven't you at least heard "l'etat, c'est moi"?

4:59 pm

moolingwa

well had to end a particular way hoke

4:59 pm

moolingwa

made it easy from there

4:59 pm

dcseain

5:35 pm

MollyL

I can't wait for the days when I don't work and time is irrelevant. Losing track of time is a blissful goal.

5:40 pm

penquis

it is a nice problem to have....it's been worse during the pandemic because of fewer out-of-the-house engagements....

5:51 pm

penquis

i am done....

6:30 pm

MollyL

Yay for Pen. I would have been a happy camper not working through COVID. The less I am around people, the better. It was nice to have all the idiots off the road. But they are back now.
