10:01 am

hurshy

anyone know what the 8 is?

10:04 am

cybernan

not me

10:04 am

cybernan

stuck at 29 - time to list, I think - maybe breakfast first

10:07 am

cybernan

al 5/14 please?

10:07 am

MollyL

id8/55

10:12 am

cybernan

what a stupid word

10:13 am

MollyL

Wait until you find the al5/14

10:14 am

Kaplan the Magne

seas

10:14 am

Kaplan the Magne

sorry

10:16 am

cybernan

still stuck on the al 5/14

10:17 am

MollyL

It ends in the first two letters of a dice game that ends with TZEE

10:19 am

cybernan

wow - would never have come up with that - ty

10:20 am

MollyL

Generally spelled with an H at the end, it is a word for the immigration of Jews from the diaspora to Isreal (whatever that means)

10:22 am

Kaplan the Magne

actually it literally means going uo, and it doesn't have to have an H on the end because it's a transliteration. I don't know what you mean by "whatever that means"

10:23 am

Kaplan the Magne

going up , that is

10:23 am

MollyL

It means I didn't know what diaspora meant until I looked it up

10:24 am

hurshy

thanks for the 8 molly

10:24 am

Kaplan the Magne

Ah the Diaspora.

10:28 am

Kaplan the Magne

Some foreign words are allowed and some are not

10:30 am

hurshy

oh you noticed? ;)

10:30 am

cybernan

*!*~*!* hagd everyone - thanks for the help :)

10:33 am

Kaplan the Magne

no veo nada.

10:33 am

hurshy

does that mean "i see nothing"?

10:34 am

Kaplan the Magne

si. Y no oyo nada, y no dij nada.

10:35 am

Kaplan the Magne

no dijo nada

10:36 am

hurshy

hear and... speak?

10:36 am

hurshy

like the monkeys?

10:37 am

hurshy

it feels like late afternoon here with how grey it is outside, but it's morning. so weird.

10:40 am

mab

here too. windy, drizzly.

10:46 am

mab

scrolling for clues: al 5 does typically have an h on the end. It's hebrew, means going to israel or being called to the bima for the torah reading. plural ending -ot, less common -oth. we've seen these words here multiple times. not 'stupid' words.

10:46 am

MollyL

That blew through here this morning. Now we have sunshine.

72 and sunny here in Hilton Head. rehi!

12:17 pm

hokie carla

H6 just jumped out at me. We don't see that every day.

12:38 pm

MollyL

Oh you poor thing. Having to endure being on Hilton Head.

12:40 pm

hokie carla

wow, speaking of H6, just started watching a gordon ramsay show on nat geo and this cherokee lady is showing him how to make it.

12:40 pm

MollyL

*Imagines Carla's kid coming home from college. Goes to house number 1. "Hi kid, we sold the house. Moved to _____" Kid goes to house number 2. "Hi kid, we took the RV to Hilton Head. Here's 5 bucks, go grab yourself some McD's."

12:41 pm

MollyL

SHe'

12:41 pm

hokie carla

I know, it's a burden. actually, everyone we've met is heading down to FL after this. meanwhile we are heading back up to NC.

12:41 pm

MollyL

She is showing him how to make it on TV?

12:42 pm

hokie carla

the oldest called me to borrow a VT hoodie and I was like, uh, we decided to stay longer, just go look through the closet.

12:42 pm

hokie carla

yes. I'm not sure what the show is called but he learned how to make livermush before this.

12:43 pm

MollyL

Never mind. The joke died a quiet and unrecognized death.

12:43 pm

hokie carla

which I didn't know livermush was a smoky mt thing, I'd never heard of it until I moved to charlotte, so I thought it was a southern thing.

12:44 pm

hokie carla

sorry, apparently I didn't get your joke (and still don't)

12:44 pm

MollyL

We used to say that people went to lovers lane to make it.

1:04 pm

hokie carla

ah, now I get it

1:04 pm

hokie carla

and no, it didn't take me 20 min, I was outside talking to someone

1:17 pm

Sophie512

Hello all. Got half. Will be back late tonight. Sitting for the 4 grands while mom and dad go on a date. It's igloos on a rooftop. Downtown Nashville.

1:17 pm

hokie carla

nice. have fun.

1:22 pm

hokie carla

did not get HOET but will BBL for last 56.

1:51 pm

MollyL

For all the stunned people, igloos on a rooftop are little heated bubble seating areas on hotel rooftops in the cooler weather. Look them up.

3:38 pm

joym999

Hi, peri. I recently found this site again. When my Mac computer (circa 2012) died last year, I had problems with finding things & using a laptop.

3:46 pm

Nef

Hubby is getting very forgetful and his MS has rapidly progressed this past year. We now live in assisted living.

3:46 pm

Nef

3:50 pm

bichon

mi 6/24, pls

3:50 pm

Nef

Thanks. It's good to be back.

3:51 pm

joym999

bichon it's kind of a compound word, but both words are spelled slightly differently than if they were separate words.

3:52 pm

periwinkle

alternate spelling of an English noble woman. I think it is a dumb word

3:54 pm

Nef

thank you.

3:57 pm

bichon

ty peri, joy

4:05 pm

joym999

5:31 pm
