To all Babblers from Canada, I would like to thank Canada for sending help for our fires in California! We had two of your super scooper planes working our Caldor fire today.

6:24 am

ItalianGreyhound

wow! Lotsa big combos here

6:38 am

Soodle

But very satisfying when your get them, IG!

6:40 am

ItalianGreyhound

HI, Soodle - Yes I am enjoying very much

6:46 am

mattygroves

I will no doubt at some point have an aha moment - but I don't have it yet

6:47 am

ItalianGreyhound

Have what, Matty?

6:47 am

Soodle

You will, Matty. Keep plugging away. Can clue a couple of the nice ones, if you want...

6:47 am

mattygroves

The aha moment with the big combos ;) I have one 9 (an re word) and 3 sevens and that's it for the biggies

6:48 am

Soodle

Work around the sp 5/12 (weapon)

6:48 am

mattygroves

Just now found another nine! And it is a combo, so that's nice :)

6:48 am

mattygroves

And now the 8 with the weapon - I must be feeding off your vibes :)

6:49 am

Soodle

There's also a 9

6:49 am

Soodle

Think Wriggleys

6:50 am

mattygroves

Yep, got that one before you clued it. Go me :)

6:51 am

Soodle

Yay!

7:28 am

BzznBea

So many of the same letters...hard to tell what word comes from where.

7:34 am

MollyL

It's a TEA festival today

7:35 am

BzznBea

Are you getting any rain, Molly?

7:35 am

BzznBea

TEAR fest.

7:37 am

MollyL

No rain yet, but it's on the way

7:38 am

BzznBea

How much are you expecting? I'm not sure we will get much here.

7:38 am

Uneaixoise

Water already standing in yard here and 3-4" more on its way :-(

7:39 am

hokie carla

yikes, une.

7:39 am

BzznBea

I figured you would get hit, Une.

7:39 am

hokie carla

cloudy here. we are supposed to get 1-2" tomorrow.

7:39 am

BzznBea

Carla, you all are going to get it too.

7:39 am

MollyL

Our coastline is going to get hit harder than we inland folks. Two days of hurricane effect rain though.

7:39 am

Uneaixoise

Yep....Mudworld!

7:41 am

hokie carla

looks like my family is getting it right now

7:42 am

Uneaixoise

CanNOT imagine the thousands of folks with no power, dealing with weeks of no AC......omg.....

7:43 am

MollyL

Me either Une. Weeks of no air conditioning at this time of year is awful.

7:43 am

hokie carla

I know. I just saw they said 90% should have it back in 7-10 days but the rest might be WEEKS.

7:44 am

hokie carla

no AC and no refrigeration

7:44 am

MollyL

That is the time for ice cubes down the front of your shirt

7:44 am

hokie carla

if you can find ice cubes

7:44 am

BzznBea

If you can get ice cubes.

7:45 am

BzznBea

snap

7:45 am

Uneaixoise

Right....

7:45 am

hokie carla

pinch poke owe me a coke

7:46 am

Uneaixoise

Never heard that one! :-)

7:46 am

BzznBea

Me either.

7:46 am

hokie carla

well, it's more of an in person one so you can actually pinch and punch their arm

7:47 am

Uneaixoise

Hee hee :-)

7:48 am

hokie carla

lol, it's on wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jinx_(ga\nme)

7:51 am

rururocks

i can't imagine weeks of no power again.. we had that here.

7:52 am

hokie carla

I've lived through one week of no power and can't even imagine longer than that.

7:53 am

rururocks

sure made cleaning out the fridge easy though

7:53 am

MollyL

We always did "Jinx" for that

7:53 am

hokie carla

yep

7:54 am

hokie carla

yeah, you say jinx, then you say the rest. I just forgot jinx.

7:54 am

MollyL

We never did the pinch poke part

7:55 am

MollyL

We did do Punch Buggy for the VW's on the road though

7:56 am

MollyL

And Padiddle for the one headlight cars

7:56 am

Uneaixoise

Oh wow.....forgot about padiddle!!

7:57 am

hokie carla

never heard of that. we yelled popeye and then you kiss your hand and hit the ceiling of the car

7:57 am

hokie carla

and we did punch bug - don't punch back!

8:08 am

MollyL

And what was the deal with picking up your feet when you drove over railroad tracks so you wouldn't get pregnant? Who came up with that one?

8:11 am

HarryHood

its always worked for me as an effective method of birth control.

8:14 am

welki

'morning, babblers

8:15 am

periwinkle

hi all. was at the laundromat early this am. back now. fun times :)

8:16 am

8:16 am

MollyL

Oh that Peri. Such a wild one.
: D

8:19 am

periwinkle

8:20 am

periwinkle

I am having such an exciting day :-)

8:20 am

periwinkle

I am feeding my neighbors cat again too but he is a nice cat

8:31 am

rururocks

some people here live so much more fascinating lives than I do

8:33 am

MollyL

Same here. My life seems dull by comparison.

8:34 am

BzznBea

BE careful what you wish for.

8:37 am

mael

yeah, I didn't actually want to live in interesting times

8:39 am

MLFAN17

nbt

8:40 am

welki

i used to enjoy going to the laundromat when i was young - usually nice and quiet, a good place to read and when other people were around, there was almost a social aspect to the place. and i remember it smelled nice

8:41 am

MLFAN17

got one of the 9s

8:41 am

rururocks

i hated going to the laundrymat.. it creeped me out totally when I was younger

8:42 am

MLFAN17

nbs

8:43 am

welki

guess it depends on when you went, with whom you went and who else was there when you were - for me, even in the dicey neighborhoods i lived in, they seemed safe

8:44 am

welki

heh - and you could buy a tiny box of detergent for a few cents if you forgot yours

8:45 am

mael

I've never minded the laundromat when I was younger

8:46 am

mael

now with kids and PILES of laundry it would be a huge pain

8:46 am

mattygroves

Phantom: aperture

8:46 am

MLFAN17

8:46 am

mael

I was just thinking that, matty

8:46 am

welki

thanks, mlf. it's a close up of a dragonfly's wing (not my photo)

8:47 am

MollyL

I am not wishing for anything. Just looking on the other side of the fence.

8:47 am

MLFAN17

even behind it its really intereating looks like half of a face

8:48 am

MollyL

Locust wings have the same, stained glass window look

8:49 am

rururocks

this grid just got frustrating

8:49 am

aebmusica

8:50 am

BzznBea

10:19 am

hokie carla

10:19 am

to get something again Nan

10:21 am

hokie carla

wow, I have 1 7 and nothing bigger

10:21 am

cybernan

saw that clue - not finding the root

10:21 am

marksdolly

the biggies are normal words

10:23 am

MollyL

She was on a quest to ______ enlightenment. Make that word an again word

10:23 am

cybernan

found it finally :)

10:24 am

cybernan

even had the 6 -- just had to look for the right one

10:25 am

hokie carla

LOL, I'm slow. I'm like acquire, obtain... will keep looking. nothing to see here

10:26 am

hokie carla

oh, I was close 😜

10:26 am

10:29 am

hokie carla

yes

10:29 am

MollyL

Yes

10:29 am

Uneaixoise

Yes

10:30 am

MollyL

And a holy choir of yeses descended upon Nan

10:30 am

cybernan

ok - have mothe re's now

10:30 am

hokie carla

3 part harmony

10:31 am

MollyL

Like The Three Stooges singing Hello Hello Hello

10:33 am

cybernan

and the sp by gum

10:34 am

cybernan

rain!!!! it's raining!!!! hallelujah

10:34 am

hokie carla

nice

10:35 am

saanichcat

wonderful nan!! We had a rainfall -- haha -- I got 39 drops on my windshield

10:35 am

cybernan

a fire broke out on the weekend that is close to one of the larger towns in the interior -- hope this keeps up and does some good

10:35 am

saanichcat

hope the rain puts a slow-down on the fires there nan

10:36 am

cybernan

me too saanich

10:36 am

saanichcat

anta

10:36 am

cybernan

never knew I could be so thrilled to see rain :)

10:36 am

saanichcat

sorry

10:38 am

marksdolly

me neither Nan, it finally rained thru the night

10:48 am

MollyL

Interesting flooding facts from the local weather dude. 6" of fast-moving water can knock over an adult. 12 inches of fast-moving water can float a car. 24 inches for an SUV or pickup.

10:56 am

saanichcat

wow. interesting & informative, ta Molly

11:00 am

MollyL

Not to mention that driving through standing water will pretty much kill your car's engine

11:04 am

KnightTime

It will ruin your transmission too

11:04 am

cybernan

back later with fresh eyes

11:04 am

KnightTime

cybernan - I put a chuckle in my profile

11:05 am

cybernan

was just reading it KT -- clever

11:06 am

KnightTime

"Never use a large word when a diminutive one will suffice"

11:07 am

cybernan

think I will take time to post a new one -- think everyone in search of a laugh has seen the aussie one

11:07 am

saanichcat

HILARIOUS Knight! Thank you so much for that!

11:08 am

saanichcat

great idea Nan

11:13 am

MollyL

Do not OVERUSE CAPITALIZATION. There should be signs here that read that. Good one Knight.

11:13 am

KnightTime

I AGREE!!!!!!

11:19 am

MollyL

Your list should include "The exclamation point is the selfie of grammar"

11:20 am

hokie carla

how do you feel about the interrobang?

11:22 am

hokie carla

well⁉️

11:22 am

MollyL

Um...one of the dumbest thing I"ve ever seen. For those os you who don't know, the interrobang is a combination question mark, exclamation point.

11:23 am

MollyL

*of you

11:23 am

MollyL

Not going to be added to a keyboard near you any time soon

11:24 am

hokie carla

it serves a purpose

11:24 am

hurshy

well why would it need to be added, you just put one of each

11:24 am

hokie carla

yeah, why⁉️

11:25 am

gingentle

Although I must say, I feel the question mark should precede the exclamation mark. ?!

11:26 am

hokie carla

I think I kind of agree on that

11:27 am

hokie carla

how do we contact the emoji maker

11:30 am

hurshy

well i'm finding this grid a bit challenging so far

11:31 am

hokie carla

I have 84 left and feel rather stuck. still need 14 7's, 4 8s, and 2 9's

11:35 am

hokie carla

I do want to make terminate and any related word. and inmate. where's the e?

11:37 am

hurshy

ditto

11:37 am

hurshy

and termite

11:38 am

hurshy

that first T, in the corner, is my early trouble spot

11:39 am

hokie carla

yeah, I still need 6 there

11:44 am

hokie carla

found one - bea's fish

12:22 pm

hurshy

found a 9!

12:24 pm

MollyL

Found a peanut

12:24 pm

BzznBea

Do you have all three nines, hurshy?

12:25 pm

hurshy

nope, just the one i just found, re9

12:25 pm

BzznBea

I'm nissing one 8.

12:25 pm

hurshy

i haven't got any of those

12:29 pm

BzznBea

Found that pesky 8...

12:29 pm

MollyL

My opinion of Connie Britton just went down a notch. I just found out she was in a movie called SMILF. No, I am not kidding.

12:31 pm

BzznBea

Rosie O'Donnell too.

12:33 pm

MollyL

Sorry, it was a TV series. Kind of a down slide from Nashville.

12:35 pm

penquis

hello all...

12:36 pm

BzznBea

Hey, pen.

12:36 pm

penquis

hi Bea...

12:36 pm

hurshy

show biz isn't known for its overabundance of excellent roles for older women

12:38 pm

BzznBea

Clues before I go?

12:38 pm

penquis

are both re 8 words "again" words?...

12:38 pm

BzznBea

only one re8

12:39 pm

BzznBea

and it is not an again word

12:39 pm

penquis

ah, ok....thought there were two....thanks!

12:39 pm

BzznBea

there is an re9

12:39 pm

penquis

yes, have that....

12:39 pm

hurshy

er, i think i just found an re8 that is an again word

12:39 pm

BzznBea

which is an again word.

12:40 pm

penquis

yes, hursh....i have one re 8 "again"word....

12:40 pm

BzznBea

Opps! yes there is another re8

12:40 pm

penquis

is it an "again" word?

12:41 pm

BzznBea

yes.

12:41 pm

penquis

thanks....all i need....

12:41 pm

BzznBea

I'm going to go before I further confuse

12:41 pm

penquis

bye...see you later...

12:41 pm

hurshy

well i guess i need the one that ISN'T an again word

12:42 pm

penquis

apparently there are two re 8 "again" words....

12:42 pm

hurshy

then why did bea say there was one that was not

12:43 pm

penquis

she first didn't notice that there were to re 8 "again" words....then corrected herself....

12:43 pm

hurshy

no

12:44 pm

penquis

there must be three that are not....

12:44 pm

hurshy

she said "only one, not an again word"
then when we said we had one that WAS again, she corrected it to two re8. but the one that she had originally been thinking of presumably still stands.

12:45 pm

hurshy

her "other" one was the one we had already, you see

12:45 pm

penquis

that's not my understanding....

12:46 pm

penquis

but i am letting that go for now...

12:47 pm

cherlyq

not sure what its about but I got the nine

12:48 pm

penquis

nice....i have the nine, too....

12:48 pm

MollyL

I am looking at the list and I only see one re8

12:49 pm

penquis

then i am confused, lol....

12:52 pm

joym999

Just started this grid and the As are giving me a lot of trouble.

12:52 pm

MollyL

There are 5 8 letter words: pe, ra, re, sp and te

12:53 pm

penquis

ty molly...

12:53 pm

MollyL

There are two re9, one is an again word and one is not. That could be where the confusion started

12:53 pm

hurshy

ooh i found sp9!

12:54 pm

hurshy

molly, do you happen to know if the re9 that is not again is from the upper R or the lower?

12:54 pm

penquis

ah yes, you are probably right, Molly....

12:54 pm

MollyL

And! she's! so! excited! about! it!

12:55 pm

penquis

lower...

12:55 pm

MollyL

It is from the R in the fourth row. There are three R's

12:55 pm

penquis

ah yes, forgot the corner one...

12:55 pm

hurshy

ah yeah, but the corner one can't have re words :)

12:56 pm

cherlyq

got it

12:56 pm

joym999

I just found the RE9!

12:56 pm

penquis

so many excited people!... ;o)

12:56 pm

MollyL

Yes but you have to spell things out here, otherwise you will get "There are two lower R's. Hmmmmm"

12:57 pm

MollyL

So much excitement, so few exclamation points

12:59 pm

joym999

The 9s are RE, SP, and ???

12:59 pm

hurshy

two re9

1:00 pm

joym999

ty

1:00 pm

hurshy

is te8 four-something?

1:00 pm

joym999

four?

1:01 pm

hurshy

the te5 that means you have 4 of something

1:01 pm

hurshy

maybe it could have an ending to make a te8

1:03 pm

MollyL

No it is not four

1:04 pm

hurshy

is it a weird word or normal?

1:05 pm

MollyL

Weird

1:05 pm

hurshy

well then if you (or anyone) would care to clue it, i would welcome said clue

1:06 pm

cherlyq

a wide-brimmed felt hat, typically with a double crown, worn chiefly by travelers in subtropical region

1:07 pm

MollyL

Ends in what comes from a light bulb (the amount of power)

1:07 pm

MollyL

No idea what Cheryl is cluing

1:07 pm

hurshy

thanks molly!

1:07 pm

penquis

ty, molly....

1:08 pm

hurshy

cheryl is cluing a te5, apparently, i guess because i mentioned te5 in my talking about potential te8

MollyL

MollyL

1:08 pm

hurshy

so yes, there are two, cherlyq

1:08 pm

cherlyq

yep sorry

1:09 pm

hurshy

ok same question for pe8: weird or normal?

1:10 pm

MollyL

I think it's weird

1:10 pm

Uneaixoise

Weird

1:10 pm

MollyL

That is because I have never heard of it until today

1:10 pm

hurshy

then i would welcome a clue for that also :)

1:10 pm

Uneaixoise

Ditto!

1:11 pm

joym999

hurshy the TE8 is unit of measurement

1:11 pm

Uneaixoise

Fruit + most of New England state

1:11 pm

hurshy

thanks une!

1:11 pm

cherlyq

ty joy

1:11 pm

MollyL

1:11 pm

joym999

1:12 pm

penquis

1:12 pm

hurshy

1:12 pm

Uneaixoise

1:12 pm

cherlyq

1:13 pm

hurshy

1:14 pm

cherlyq

1:20 pm

hurshy

1:27 pm

cherlyq

so did we determine there was only the one re 8

1:27 pm

penquis

Molly listed them a few minutes ago...

1:27 pm

cherlyq

only have 86 so far dont want to list yet lol

1:35 pm

penquis

finally found my last 8....need a break....bbl to finish my last 49....bye all....

1:45 pm

joym999

could someone give me a not too revealing clue for the RE9 again word (I've got the non-again RE9)?

1:50 pm

cybernan

re 9: who you call to fix something

1:50 pm

cybernan

it is not an again word

1:51 pm

joym999

There are two RE9 words. I have "fix something" one already.

1:51 pm

cherlyq

getting back something you lost?

1:52 pm

MollyL

She _______ a state of enlightenment. Make it an again word

1:52 pm

joym999

I think that's the RE8, Molly.

1:53 pm

cherlyq

oh yeah we both did that lol

1:53 pm

MollyL

Yeah, it is. To put something down with pen again

1:53 pm

MollyL

Past tense

1:53 pm

joym999

found it, thanks

1:54 pm

MollyL

I think today's chat has been the most confusing ever. And it's not even cocktail hour yet. Whee!

1:58 pm

cybernan

need both the te and the pe 8's and not finding either from the clues given

1:58 pm

periwinkle

I don't have either re9 but I do have re8

1:59 pm

cybernan

the fruit = 4 of a new england state has me stumped -- I guess it isn't the first 4 of the state

1:59 pm

hurshy

yes it is

2:00 pm

cybernan

oh duh - found the pe

2:00 pm

periwinkle

yes it is nan

2:00 pm

cybernan

the states just don't come automatically to me

2:00 pm

periwinkle

I think it is the state pen lives in

2:00 pm

periwinkle

nm

2:00 pm

MollyL

Geez Nan, that one is even close to Canada.
: D

2:01 pm

cybernan

yes - my clue was more likely to have been fruit + "principle" item

2:01 pm

periwinkle

got an re9 thanks Molly

2:02 pm

PinkHatClub

@cybernan…I am in the state you are looking for…think lobster, or farthest NorthEast state

2:03 pm

hurshy

the only US state to border exactly one other state, too

2:05 pm

MollyL

New Hampshire. The rest of Maine borders Canada

2:06 pm

MollyL

Are we having serious chat lag, or are people just not reading along?

2:14 pm

periwinkle

found an re9 by myself!

2:15 pm

periwinkle

looking for the te8 someone said it was a wide brimmed hat

2:16 pm

amelu0218

te5 is the hat

2:16 pm

periwinkle

oh ok

2:16 pm

amelu0218

te8 is an erg measurement

2:19 pm

periwinkle

not seeing either will keep looking

2:20 pm

amelu0218

te 5/10. te 8/60 Sorry, I know you didn't ask.

2:21 pm

periwinkle

found te8 ty

2:24 pm

MollyL

See what I mean about chat being confusing? Someone refresh my memory, why do some people put a @ in front of someone's username?

2:32 pm

hurshy

probably because that's how twitter is, or on facebook if you want to tag someone you type that

2:46 pm

MollyL

I have no clue what that means, but thanks Hursh. Not sure why someone would use Twitter mechanics on this forum.

2:48 pm

amelu0218

it means directed toward so the person who asked knows that it's meant for them.

2:54 pm

cybernan

hi again - had to leave for FaceTime with son 1

2:58 pm

cybernan

still need the te 8 measurment that's 4 of something

2:59 pm

amelu0218

measurement of energy

3:00 pm

amelu0218

3:00 pm

cybernan

3:01 pm

cybernan

thanks for the help everyone

3:02 pm

cybernan

wow! can you believe it? a language enable doen

3:03 pm

cybernan

a language enable doesn't know about - esperanto

3:05 pm

JaxH66

Could I have the stats for the top row o please?

3:05 pm

cybernan

ot 5/10

3:06 pm

amelu0218

@ nan, sorry about the 'sp' but the numbers were right. my ADD has evidently kicked in.

3:06 pm

JaxH66

Thanks

3:07 pm

cybernan

Wasn't sure if you were asking for the sp or not, amelu

3:12 pm

amelu0218

well, that's what I was looking for, nan, when I gave you the stats for the te, thus the faux pas. I'm trying out word combinations for it because I think someone mentioned it was compound...

3:16 pm

Uneaixoise

Another clue for the te8?

3:17 pm

JaxH66

Is there only one te8?

3:17 pm

cybernan

not a megabite but a te4bite + unit of energy

3:18 pm

JaxH66

The te8 I have is a large unit of electricity

3:18 pm

cybernan

yes -- energy output of a lightbulb

3:20 pm

Uneaixoise

Tx for the lightbulb clue

3:21 pm

cybernan

stuck with 49 to go -- back to list after lunch

4:04 pm

MollyL

There is that @nan again. Are we Twitter people now?

4:06 pm

cybernan

not me - not on any social media

4:06 pm

amelu0218

I don't use anything social aside from FB. Oh, excuse me. Facebook for those who don't appear to understand shortcuts.

4:07 pm

amelu0218

or choose pretend not to.

4:08 pm

cybernan

after going through a month long rigamarole I finally got rid of Facebook -- not about to bring it back -- too susceptible to viruses. As for the rest, I have no desire to see, hear or read the rantings of deranged people

4:13 pm

amelu0218

I've only kept it for keeping up with some old friends who no longer live near me and watch their kids grow up. I also have a number of them who have passed on and I can access their accounts through mine for pictures and such. My page is private and friend only access. Drama queens are deleted without notice.

4:15 pm

amelu0218

But I agree, nan, that it is too susceptible to many things.

4:20 pm

cybernan

pe 6/36 please?

4:21 pm

dianedecoder

a wig, nan

4:21 pm

cybernan

ty diane

4:50 pm

4:51 pm

cybernan

ends like the t word in BLT

4:52 pm

cybernan

te 7/44 please?

4:53 pm

joym999

something English people use in the late afternoon

4:54 pm

cybernan

ty joy

4:54 pm

cybernan

did you find the an 7?

4:55 pm

joym999

no, but I found a AN6 that fits your clue

4:57 pm

cybernan

yes there is also a 7 that uses more of the letters from the salad ingredient

4:58 pm

cybernan

looks like it might be an italian film maker's word for cartoons

4:59 pm

joym999

Doh! I didn't realize it was a 7,32 and I was looking only at the 1 point tiles. Thanks!

5:01 pm

cybernan

*!*~*!* any clues wanted before I leave?

5:02 pm

joym999

any of the K words

5:02 pm

joym999

KR6,33

5:03 pm

cybernan

plural of kr 5: homophone for scary person

5:03 pm

joym999

nm...I just found it.

5:03 pm

joym999

weird spelling

5:04 pm

cybernan

also ke 4-5: retain(s)

5:05 pm

joym999

I have those, thanks. Just found the KU too.

5:05 pm

cybernan

ku 5: vonnegut + vowel

5:05 pm

joym999

lol...I like that clue

5:06 pm

cybernan

the other two are 4's that you will have to monkey - no way to clue

5:06 pm

cybernan

ke 4/8 and ke 4/9

5:08 pm

cybernan

did the hurricane miss you amelu?

5:08 pm

joym999

How about the IN6/7, maybe a combo?

5:09 pm

cybernan

yes in + what you surround gifts with

5:09 pm

joym999

that's a word???

5:09 pm

cybernan

guess so

5:10 pm

cybernan

but then I thought esperanto would be accepted, but no dice

5:10 pm

joym999

I think esperanto is probably a proper noun

5:11 pm

joym999

I saw part of a movie in esperanto once. I had William Shatner in it.

5:11 pm

cybernan

maybe -- can't be used as an adjective like english or french

5:11 pm

joym999

It had, I mean. I didn't actually have William Shatner, ever, I promise.

5:11 pm

cybernan

lol

5:12 pm

cybernan

he was such a terrible actor -- and he sure isn't any better in the commercials he's doing now

5:12 pm

cybernan

on my way - hagd everyone :)

5:13 pm

joym999

He's awful, although the old Star Trek series was kind of cheesy, so he kind of fit in.

5:13 pm

joym999

By nan, good to talk to you!

5:21 pm

HarryHood

remember that cover of mr. tambourine man he did?

5:21 pm

HarryHood

I think he did a whole album of covers. absolutely awful

5:24 pm

MollyL

I don't know what is worse. Shatner's cover 0f Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds or Madonna's cover of American Pie. Both will make your ears bleed.

5:24 pm

joym999

I heard that album once. I hope to never hear it again.

5:25 pm

HarryHood

I decided today to make "ooh ooh child" the theme song of the year for my classes.

Oh Harry, "Ooo, Ooo Child"? Really?

6:15 pm

welki

harry, are you still around? i thought of you yesterday while reading a book - it had the term, "amicable numbers" in it. friendly numbers! i looked up the term, the description makes sense, but i can't figure out specific calculations - probably trying too hard to understand
