doseffing

.... es7/36 from earlier

7:36 am

hurshy

i also had found a co7, related to a pain drug

7:36 am

BzznBea

I think they are hard to see because the aren't 5's with a suffix.

7:36 am

hurshy

le7 is!

7:37 am

BzznBea

Ah...I hadn't made it to the Ls yet.

7:38 am

hurshy

found li7 now as well

7:39 am

BzznBea

Funny, that LE. We had it yesterday. I will be wearing the tiara again today.

7:40 am

hurshy

i thought the tiara was for having your name in the grid

7:40 am

BzznBea

That is my last name.

7:41 am

BzznBea

And now I only have 1 seven to find.

7:41 am

hurshy

7:54 am

BzznBea

7:54 am

Shirlockc

7:54 am

BzznBea

It is a UK spelling

7:55 am

BzznBea

7:55 am

hurshy

i have the UK spelling with the pain drug

7:55 am

hurshy

it is the other one that i have missed

7:56 am

BzznBea

No, this is the UK spelling of hokie's ailment.

7:56 am

hurshy

hmm, i dunno if i knew hokie HAD an ailment

7:57 am

hurshy

but i will try to think of ailments

7:57 am

BzznBea

7:57 am

8:13 am

HarryHood

8:13 am

8:14 am

penquis

hello....

8:14 am

HarryHood

hiya pen

8:15 am

penquis

hey, Harry....

8:15 am

welki

'morning

8:15 am

penquis

hi welki...

8:15 am

HarryHood

hi welki

8:16 am

welki

took me two days, but finally connected (and on hold) with the irs - fun times

8:16 am

HarryHood

I got four dots. welki only got 3. just saying.

8:16 am

MollyL

Rob...why? Hurshy, ever the clever one.
: D

8:16 am

HarryHood

oh no welki. be prepared for an hour or more on hold. they are the absolute worst.

8:17 am

penquis

bummer, welki....

8:17 am

welki

i know, harry - this is a call back, the first time, it took more than just two days to connect

8:17 am

HarryHood

my sympathies :(

8:17 am

welki

social security is a walk in the park, compared to the irs :D

8:17 am

MollyL

Social security takes number two place for absolute worst. They keep you on hold for forty minutes and more.

8:18 am

HarryHood

I can ignore SS for another few years.

8:19 am

welki

if you call the SS folks in maryland, i'd agree - i call my "local" office in montana and it's not that bad. but i had such a good rapport with a couple of the folks in md that i have direct numbers to call now

8:19 am

penquis

i already don't like this grid...too many vowels....

8:19 am

HarryHood

yes - getting a personal connection is ideal

8:20 am

HarryHood

but a C with all those vowels gets you several words :)

8:20 am

penquis

i know they are there, just haven't found them yet... ;o)

8:21 am

BzznBea

It was a fun grid.

8:21 am

penquis

for you, perhaps, LOL....

8:21 am

BzznBea

Off to work...

8:21 am

HarryHood

hi bea bye bea

8:22 am

MollyL

I never think of these grids as "fun". Challenging, yes but not fun.

8:22 am

welki

hi/bye bea

8:22 am

penquis

bye, Bea....

8:22 am

penquis

oh i think some grids are fun....not this one....

8:22 am

MollyL

We may never find out why Bea was wearing the tiara yesterday

8:22 am

welki

harry, you get the tiara today!

8:23 am

HarryHood

ok.

8:23 am

HarryHood

why is this?

8:24 am

MollyL

ho4 is in the grid. I give the guys six packs instead.

8:24 am

welki

because part of your "name" is in the grid - and saying so may or may not be a pb violation on my part

8:24 am

HarryHood

oh I get it. ty - I will wear it with pride.

8:25 am

welki

very twinkly

8:25 am

HarryHood

I'm like rain man with sparkly stuff.

8:25 am

MollyL

Oh he WANTS the tiara. I see.

8:25 am

HarryHood

:)

8:27 am

HarryHood

38 to go. gotta make coffee. bbl!

8:27 am

welki

bye, harry

8:28 am

penquis

1:25 pm

penquis

1:26 pm

MollyL

I doubt my youngest son has ever heard the word dustbin

1:26 pm

penquis

probably not....

1:29 pm

cybernan

don't you think the word we use is just the north american term where as as 6 and dustbin are more common in europe?

1:30 pm

penquis

i think so....i see them in the British mysteries I read...

1:30 pm

penquis

growing up, we referred to the trash can.....we did not have a fireplace....

1:31 pm

MollyL

You mentioned Dustbin Hoffman. I prefer Debris Winger

1:45 pm

rururocks

:D

1:48 pm

MollyL

That reminds me of the excavation field worker I used to work with whose field notes included "removed debree" and that his equipment was "idol for the day"

1:49 pm

rururocks

they're now writing for several web-site news pages. the editing is terrible.

1:51 pm

MollyL

I can't believe the horrible spelling and grammar I see on the internet. What has become of spell check?

1:51 pm

cybernan

1:51 pm

MollyL

Oh no, we are starting to look like Moolingwa and Carla

1:54 pm

cybernan

when she was in grade one my oldest granddaughter solemnly told me that her teacher said it was ok if everything was spelled wrong. It didn't matter to anyone as long as she was understood. Unfortuneately that misconception seems to have become fact.

1:55 pm

penquis

had a conversation with my massage therapist today about spelling...some of that skill seems to be innate....some people will turn out to be better spellers than others even with the same schooling....

1:59 pm

nan, about the spelling

2:15 pm

penquis

is that a clue?

2:15 pm

mael

my daughter is in first grade and her teacher also says spelling correctly does not matter as they learn

2:16 pm

mael

it follows, if my daughter had to stop and spell, say, "thorough" correctly she'd never write anything

2:16 pm

penquis

i don't have DA 7....

2:16 pm

mael

they learn as they go :)

2:16 pm

penquis

it's one of 5 i have missing after going through the list...

2:17 pm

mael

that must be my missing 7 then

2:25 pm

cybernan

it turned out that our granddaughter had misunderstood what the teacher had said. Thankgoodness. As an elementary school teacher I think that is a poor precedent to set.

2:25 pm

3:59 pm

joym999

Hi all.

4:01 pm

joym999

The CA 6,21 just means small house in Spanish, and it's used commonly in the U.S, at least here in CA, for a little secondary house on your property. It has nothing to do with slums, nor is that word used in Latin America to refer to poverty.

4:29 pm

72 Temple Owl

that's how i understand it. not slums, nor SA

4:33 pm

72 Temple Owl

that's as twisty a word as i recall in a grid

4:41 pm

joym999

worm-shaped little house

4:44 pm

MollyL

Words used commonly on the west coast are not always used commonly in other parts of the US or in Canada or the many other places people play from

4:51 pm

joym999

That's true of other parts of the U.S. too. I'm from the East Coast and no one here knows what a hoagie is.

4:51 pm

joym999

here = California

4:52 pm

hokie carla

there are RV resorts that only allow Class A motorhomes and you can like buy a site there and build a little tiny house on it to park your motorhome next to and live there for a while. anyhoo, they are commonly called coach house, carriage house, or ca6/21.

4:53 pm

mich_pdx

A hoagie is Philly-speak, we moved to Seattle from Philly when I was little. Hoagies became subs, soda became pop, paper bags were sacks, my clothes weren't kept in a bureau, but a dresser.

4:54 pm

72 Temple Owl

funny, sub is NY/NJ for hoagie

4:55 pm

hokie carla

we mostly say subs, but hoagie is not foreign by any means

4:56 pm

mich_pdx

Is There a Difference Between Hoagies, Heroes, Subs, and Grinders? https://www.thekitchn.com/hoagies-hero\nes-subs-and-grinders-whats-the-deal-wi\nth-these-sandwich-names-222944

4:56 pm

72 Temple Owl

i think many if not most of the players here know the US only through their news outlets. Which is only what generates ratings.

4:56 pm

hokie carla

how did that link not break the chat? did dr. god fix something?

4:56 pm

72 Temple Owl

ooh wait- heros...i never ate then when i was a kid in NJ so maybe that was the word, but i think it was subs

4:57 pm

mich_pdx

Oh, zoom call in 3 min. bbl

4:58 pm

72 Temple Owl

rehero, i've sondered if it didn't come from the greek gyro. grinfers are new england, and oven grinders are toasted

5:00 pm

hokie carla

yeah, I think heroes = gyros, which a lot of people mispronounce

5:09 pm

72 Temple Owl

i rarely eat lunch meat. i have some on hand now for 100 degree days, but today had cereal instead. with fruit. quick and easy

5:15 pm

72 Temple Owl

did you finish, carla?

6:22 pm

gingentle

no, hero sandwich is not the same as a gyro. grinders, subs, torpedoes, italian, and hero are all the same sandwich.

6:24 pm

gingentle

all of the same. the sandwiches may be served hot or cold. The names are typically regional. They have nothing to do with the Greek gyro Which is completely different. It is a very specific meat or combination of meats with a cucumber sauce and onion in a pita.

6:25 pm

joym999

I agree. I don't seem much relationship between a gyro and a hero, other than their similar pronunciation.

6:43 pm

governess

if you go into an arby's her and ask for a gyro you confuse them. then when you say the meal number they say oh! you mean a Jy-roh.

7:05 pm

MollyL

All parts of our country have different jargon. A sub/hoagie is a grinder in Connecticut. Soda/pop is tonic in Boston.

7:07 pm

Oh and a sloppy Joe is tavern somewhere out west.
