cybernan

hi mich

12:06 am

mich_pdx

Hi Nan! I'm back from a week in Seattle - any flooding up by you? My niece is at Western (wwu) & got flood warnings on Sunday.

12:07 am

cybernan

not near us mich

12:07 am

mich_pdx

thank goodness - she's ok, too

12:08 am

cybernan

we weren't getting any supplies in when all the highways between here and the coast were closed for a week, but goods are starting to trickle in now.

12:11 am

mich_pdx

this whole supply chain thing is nuts. I bought 20 lbs of rice, dried beans and stocked up on canned soups, chili, beans and tuna fish when it was on sale this summer. And pasta!

12:11 am

mich_pdx

as long as I have water, I can eat :)

12:14 am

cybernan

looks like we will only have one secondary road open for some time to come. Flood waters need to subside and roads and bridges need to be rebuilt

where are they yammering? haven't seen anything.

11:54 am

hokie carla

and how are there 20 c's on the top row? I have found 6.

Will Smith recently published an autobiography. There have been a lot of interviews and apparently the Smiths are "oversharing"

11:55 am

hokie carla

11:56 am

hokie carla

why is trig a word but calc isn't?

11:56 am

1:06 pm

Sophie512

Good AFternoon all...thanks for the 8 letter word clue...I only have 1 7, too.

1:48 pm

Fernanda

hello

1:48 pm

Sophie512

Hello!

1:49 pm

Fernanda

what sup

1:51 pm

Fernanda

buenas tardes, good afternoon

1:52 pm

Sophie512

things are pretty quiet on the chat today.... either people have given up, like I may do shortly, or they are working very hard, because it's a tough grid

1:53 pm

Fernanda

i do not know

1:54 pm

Fernanda

i need help

1:54 pm

Sophie512

How can I help? (fyi I'm a beginner)

1:55 pm

Fernanda

i not understand and puzzle jajajajaajaja

1:56 pm

Sophie512

ok.... well, letters must touch each other to make a word.....type in the word under the puzzle where it says ADD WORD:

1:56 pm

Sophie512

each word has to have at least 4 letters

1:57 pm

Fernanda

mmmmm :(

1:58 pm

SquidKid

and each tile can only be used once in a word

1:59 pm

Fernanda

super hard this omg

1:59 pm

Fernanda

omg

2:00 pm

hurshy

if you're a kid, and you find it too hard, you can always come back in a few years and see if it's more manageable then

2:01 pm

Sophie512

It's based on a board game where you shake up letters to spell words. Called Boggle. I used to play the online version of Boggle. On POGO games, but it is no longer available.

2:01 pm

Fernanda

I am a gjrl okay

2:02 pm

hurshy

there's still weboggle.com sophie :)

2:02 pm

Sophie512

ok, thanks Hurshy

2:02 pm

Fernanda

I'm not going to do the puzzle thanks for you help

2:03 pm

Sophie512

Come back again.

2:03 pm

hurshy

excuse me, sophie, it's not .com, it's .info

2:03 pm

hurshy

i didn't even know there was a .info domain!

2:04 pm

hurshy

nor do i know why .info would be used for a game rather than for like, an encyclopedia

2:14 pm

Sophie512

Just tried it. No too fun. No player interaction. I mean, I don't actually know anyone here, like I do on Words with Friends, but I still enjoy the chat and benefit from the clues.

2:16 pm

cybernan

give it a little time, Sophie -- it won't be too long before you feel at home here too :)

2:19 pm

Sophie512

oh, the people here seem very nice.... but I actually know most of the people I play on WWF. Some teacher friends, a former student teacher, my brother-in-law, church friends, friends from the town I used to live in....3 hrs from where I now live in Nashville.

2:19 pm

cybernan

oh - not familiar with the WWF website

2:24 pm

Sophie512

Words with Friends is fun, too. Words with Friends 2. You might like it.

2:24 pm

MollyL

Interesting what different people want out of a word game. (And yes, I mean interesting)

2:27 pm

mattygroves

I like this game because it isn't timed and isn't competitive - you have a waking day to do it and it really doesn't matter, in the great scheme of things, whether you finish or not. It's relaxing, mostly

2:28 pm

Sophie512

I agree, Matty!

2:38 pm

2:42 pm

Sophie512

3 of the letter C in this puzzle, I'm not liking C today, either

2:42 pm

MollyL

I am another who likes that this game isn't timed. I don't care for games that are. And I agree that this game is fun because it is not competitive. Except at the flip and that is an exclusive group.,

2:44 pm

cybernan

I like the race to find the longest words at the flip -- not that I am in the competition very often

2:53 pm

periwinkle
