5:05 am

mattygroves

Funny he he or funny weird?

5:07 am

ItalianGreyhound

Hi, Matty - they are normal amusing compounds; I think one is a movie title (pluraled)

5:09 am

mattygroves

I have one sticky ad7, but I assume that's not what you mean?

5:10 am

ItalianGreyhound

the Ai 7/36 (s) Brendan Fraser movie

5:11 am

ItalianGreyhound

what you breathe + noggin

5:12 am

mattygroves

Aaah - I should have seen that!

5:15 am

mattygroves

Aah - and found the HA - real words but yes, amusing! Thank you!

5:15 am

mattygroves

If you're an ai7 your plans might go ha7!

5:15 am

ItalianGreyhound

LoL!

5:19 am

mattygroves

Do you happen to have the ER7? Is it a weird one or a normal word?

5:20 am

ItalianGreyhound

5:21 am

MollyL

Weird Matty

5:21 am

MollyL

5:23 am

ItalianGreyhound

7:32 am

hokie carla

hi molly and lurkers

7:35 am

MollyL

Morning Carla. Jumping off of anything today?

7:35 am

hokie carla

no plans to

7:35 am

hokie carla

we just discovered our carafe was somehow broken since yesterday so now I may have to drink a coke zero for breakfast

7:40 am

MollyL

Ew. You should always travel with a "Plan B" for coffee. A French press makes good coffee and is fairly portable.

7:43 am

hokie carla

we have a cuisinart single cup maker in the pantry but I'll have to clean it and everything. and hope I can find the little reusable cup thing for loose coffee.

7:44 am

hokie carla

he is drinking some starbucks frappucino thing he bought for camping last week but i can't find any allergen info on the carton or online. yes, a drink should be fine but you'd be surprised what they add to stuff.

7:45 am

hokie carla

he is mr. homie, sorry for random pronoun

7:49 am

MollyL

Damn, I thought maybe you were off on an adventure with your boyfriend.

7:50 am

hokie carla

haha, just had to clarify. that's how rumors get started.

7:51 am

MollyL

Too late

7:52 am

MollyL

The other day we had Tandy, today we have Hume. Time for a Cocoon re-watch.

7:52 am

hokie carla

not sure I ever saw that

7:53 am

hokie carla

was that Ron Howard's first movie as a director? def. early in his directing career.

7:53 am

hokie carla

I remember all the hype around it, just never saw it.

7:54 am

MollyL

Nope. His debut in directing was Grand Theft Auto.

7:56 am

MollyL

Cocoon was his fourth movie, after Splash which gained him a lot of praise and attention as a director.

7:57 am

hokie carla

I forgot he did Splash

7:58 am

hokie carla

I have seen Splash

8:04 am

hokie carla

so hackee was a word yesterday. forgot to see if it had a real def besides what I think it meant. anyhoo, hiree is an actual word used but isn't accepted.

8:04 am

Scrabbler

Interesting.

8:05 am

hokie carla

also it is hu5-er here than up in pen's neck of the woods but that's not accepted either

8:05 am

hokie carla

hi scrabbs!

8:06 am

MollyL

I never did get the determination of which words get an er ending and which you put "more" in front of.

8:07 am

hokie carla

it's random

8:07 am

Scrabbler

Good morning.

8:08 am

penquis

hello all...

8:08 am

MollyL

Apparently hackee is a Brit word for chipmunk. I guess over there they had Alvin and The Hackees

8:08 am

hokie carla

hi pen

8:08 am

hokie carla

haha, doesn't have quite the same ring

8:11 am

doseffing

rule of thumb ... ... one syllable adjectives get "er"; two syllable adverbs get "ier"; two or more syllable adjectives get "more"

8:11 am

Scrabbler

TY, doseffing

8:11 am

hokie carla

interesting

8:12 am

hokie carla

littler

8:12 am

doseffing

I'd use smaller

8:12 am

hokie carla

:D

8:13 am

MollyL

I knew someone here would know that. When it doubt, post it on a word nerd herd board.

8:15 am

hokie carla

all these vowels are awful

8:16 am

MollyL

Six E's is awful

8:17 am

Shirlockc

Okay, I know some people don't like clues unless they ask for them. Used to be you didn't clue unless one was asked for but nothing that used to be seems to apply anymore.

One of my face masks is the periodic table. Hi folks.

11:19 am

cybernan

nm found it

11:19 am

MollyL

I was watching a show where the husband who is the chemistry teacher is telling the wife that his favorite element is bismuth. And i thought "Harry!"

11:21 am

MollyL

I have to admit I would look at someone in a funny way if I saw them with a periodic table facemask.

11:21 am

origami

I get a lot of comments on it. That and the one covered in ancient runes :D

11:22 am

MollyL

I don't get the whole "make a statement about yourself with your face mask" thing. Or people who post selfies in face masks.

11:22 am

MollyL

So you like wearing things that call attention to you?

11:22 am

hokie carla

this lady at lowe's came right up into my space to look at my easter snoopy mask. I was rethinking having anything but solid colors after that.

11:23 am

origami

If we have to wear them, they might as well be interesting. No, I don't like to call attention to myself. I'm just trying to have fun with it.

11:23 am

MollyL

Kind of defeats the purpose of mask wearing.

11:23 am

MollyL

That was about what Carla said.

11:24 am

cybernan

*!*~*!* Thanks for the help :)

11:25 am

MollyL

If I had to grade society as a whole on keeping safe distance, I would give them a D. Most people are terrible at it. People in my office building crowd elevators and never keep six feet from you.

11:28 am

I am just so tired of being isolated and there is no relief in sight as long as there are still selfish no-vaxxers around us.

11:31 am

on my way - hagd everyone

12:10 pm

cherlyq

had to get out to go to doctor today, now home and staying home, she said maybe 15 % of patients had had the shots but mostly older people and they were having lighter cases because of it

12:13 pm

mael

I feel very lucky that vaccination percentages here in MA are pretty great

12:13 pm

mael

could be better! still comparatively great

12:14 pm

MollyL

I would be careful of using terms like "selfish no vaxxers". We heard from someone here yesterday who has a legitimate medical reason (neurological disease) to not get the vaccine. Not everyone who is not getting vaccinated is "selfish".

12:20 pm

cherlyq

I should say that 15% is the number of vaccinated people they are seeing break through covid cases for not the percent of people in town who have been vaccinated

12:20 pm

cherlyq

that number per local health department is around 60%

12:23 pm

cherlyq

most of the bad cases right now are younger folks in late teens and 20s and 30s

1:07 pm

MollyL

I just feel like its "here we go again" time. We are back to having to wear masks at the store again and it was SO NICE the few months that we didn't have to wear them.

1:07 pm

MollyL

If I have to spend another Christmas without my kids I am going to be really sad.

1:19 pm

mich_pdx

Those who can't get the vaccine because of medical reasons are exempt, of course. And what percentage of the whole unvaxxed are they? Maybe 5% of the population? We reach herd immunity when all BUT those who shouldn't be vaxxed have the vaccine.

1:22 pm

cherlyq

yeah about the masks I agree Molly it does seem sad

1:25 pm

MollyL

It doesn't work to talk in terms of "all". "All" will never be vaccinated. There are those who will not due to religious beliefs. There are those who will not due to personal beliefs. Hopefully the rest of us will. And I am really tired of the term "herd immunity". We are not a bunch of roaming cattle.

1:25 pm

cherlyq

the ones that get me are the ones that compair asking people to wear mask to hitler ummm not the same thing at all

1:28 pm

MollyL

There are people that feel it infringes on their rights. The question is, what is more important? An individual's right or the right of society as a whole to live in a virus free community.

1:48 pm

mich_pdx

sorry if I struck a chord, Molly. I'm double-vaxxed, live in a state with higher than average vax rates, but I continue to wear a mask in enclosed public areas. I had Covid May 2020 for 14 days with lasting lung congestion and unprecedented anxiety for another 6 months. Pretty sure my nephew and girlfriend who were sheltering with me, but out every day without masks were how I got it, as I was working from home, leaving the house only to food shop masked, or take walks outside.

1:52 pm

mich_pdx

We shared a bathroom. As soon as I felt sick, I sent them to stay elsewhere. They were (Americans) visiting from grad school in Europe and couldn't go back. They were vacationing in Mexico during their spring break, and got stuck, flew up here just as the border closed (already closed to Europe).

1:53 pm

mich_pdx

ok, that's all I'm saying on the subject. Happy babbling, all.

Dan, what did you adopt?

7:28 pm

dan2bit

both terrier mutts, about 12 pounds each

7:29 pm

dan2bit

Nugget is white with brown ears and markings, Ziggy looks like someone left an Austrailian Shepherd in the dryer for too long

7:29 pm

Minveryork

It makes me mad to hear stories of people returning dogs to shelters that they adopted during Covid, but now have to go back to work and cannot take care their dogs.

I just tried opening the link and I get a message saying "invalid dynamic link"

Take out the "\n" and see if that does it. URLs never have backslashes. "\n" is usually a carriage return/linefeed.

7:33 pm

grannyrose

min, take out the forward slash and n. then try to open

7:34 pm

dauber

yite

7:34 pm

grannyrose

lovely pups Dan. it bet little Miss is totally absorbed in them. how old does the vet think they are?

7:40 pm

dan2bit

both under 2, most probably

7:41 pm

grannyrose

does Ziggy have big paws?

7:43 pm

dan2bit

no, he may gain another pound or so, but he's a chipmunk hunter, not a real shepherd :-)

7:45 pm

grannyrose

his colouring looks blue heeler, but with that coat, more like long-haired shepherd. i hope he doesn't become too big.

8:10 pm

dan2bit

hope not also
