MollyL

The one place I worked where they had Macintosh was small and family-owned and the owner was a Macintosh freak.

11:06 am

cybernan

*pa 6-7-6-7

11:07 am

hurshy

first pair is those italian words for like a friend who is your sort

11:08 am

hurshy

second pair the points are helpful

11:09 am

cybernan

I have absolutely no idea Hurshy --- know the points and they didn't help and I don't know any Italian

11:09 am

hurshy

well they are italian words that you hear in the context of like the mob and stuff, you don't have to know italian

11:10 am

cybernan

not any words I hear for sure

11:10 am

hokie carla

what are the points for both 6's P&TY?

11:11 am

hurshy

ok, think of a cheese that you put on top of your pasta and remove the R and the M

11:11 am

hurshy

then add a vowel at the end for the 7

11:11 am

cybernan

the mob is the mafia and the protection racket is called payola I think -- that's about all I know

11:11 am

hurshy

6/21 and 6/36, hokie

11:12 am

cybernan

that would be ozzaella -- not there

11:13 am

hurshy

um, you know it starts with a pa.. so think of a cheese that starts with that...

11:13 am

cybernan

ok -- ty hurshy

11:14 am

cybernan

is the 2nd set italian too?

11:15 am

hurshy

no, the second set is apparently Maori

11:15 am

hurshy

it's their equivalent of "haole" that the Hawaiians have

11:15 am

hurshy

quite hard to clue, hence my recommendation that you use the points

11:16 am

hokie carla

ah, have seen italian restaurants named a similar word to the first one

11:16 am

hokie carla

I recently listened to a podcast about Bobby Fuller and his mysterious death

12:07 pm

hokie carla

in appalachian english a lot of words rhyme that don't in other english and a lot of words don't rhyme that do in other english

12:09 pm

hokie carla

also I say saw-yer and law-yer while other people say soy-yer and loy-yer. makes no sense to me.

12:19 pm

Shirlockc

1:06 pm

hokie carla

1:07 pm

BzznBea

It has been a tough grid. The plurals have been difficult to see. And then you have words that are pt that you would never think...

1:07 pm

BzznBea

I'm workng on the T. My last to grey.

1:07 pm

hokie carla

1:09 pm

hokie carla

There is an la5.20 that is the pt of the legal profession.

1:12 pm

BzznBea

Those are really all the silly L's, imo

hello

1:33 pm

welki

hi owl

1:39 pm

72 Temple Owl

are things are hot up there as it is here? and to top it off, major recabling work here. the noise is awful and they are a couple days shy of digging in the front yard.

1:44 pm

welki

close to 90 this week, was well above that last week - way too hot for me

1:46 pm

welki

(that's why we were on the water early this morning)

1:48 pm

72 Temple Owl

i see. is it humid too?

1:50 pm

welki

nope, not humid- it was last week. (humid, for us,is 70%)

1:51 pm

72 Temple Owl

i hope you have AC. heard on the news that people in th e pac NW were suffering because many do not have it.

1:52 pm

welki

we do, and are grateful for it.

1:52 pm

72 Temple Owl

i did not have it for several years here. it was awful, and then we had trees. they're gone now and it's that western sun all afternoon

1:53 pm

72 Temple Owl

i just leave it on. no sense turning it off for two or three days and letting the humidity build up.

1:53 pm

welki

even with a/c, i still pull shades down and close curtains

1:54 pm

72 Temple Owl

as do i. i don't have shades in the back, though.

1:54 pm

welki

doesn't save you much money to shut it down and then have it work hard to bring the temp back down

1:55 pm

72 Temple Owl

i am afraid to turn it off, it's very old and uses freon which may not even be available.

1:55 pm

72 Temple Owl

it's been awful for gardening, hot and dry.

1:58 pm

welki

i have no right to complain - it'll be -30 soon enough

2:01 pm

72 Temple Owl

ha! rather be hot. though this summer has been very hot

2:02 pm

welki

not me - i'd much rather have the option of putting more clothes on, i can only takes much off before children run screaming

2:03 pm

welki

*take so much off (my keyboard had an accident)

2:04 pm

72 Temple Owl

:D

2:26 pm

MollyL

I agree with Welki. You can always add layers when it is cold but there is only so much you can legally take off.
