hey hoke, how's the housing going?

10:45 am

cybernan

good morning everyone :)

10:45 am

moolingwa

hey nan

10:45 am

Sophie512

Hi Nan! How are you?

10:45 am

hokie carla

well, started on the trim paint yesterday but left to move the youngest out of his dorm. now back in the old house and will start packing up stuff. mr. hokie is still there putting new floor in the bedrooms.

10:45 am

hokie carla

hey nan

10:45 am

moolingwa

sounds epic

10:46 am

hokie carla

hey sophie

10:46 am

hokie carla

he is back and forth on refinishing the hardwoods that are there. no, he's never done it before but thinks he can and wants to do it before we move stuff in.

10:47 am

moolingwa

more game than I am

10:48 am

hokie carla

that's one thing I would pay to have someone else do.

10:48 am

hokie carla

but it may be impossible to get someone there to do it in a reasonable amount of time.

10:48 am

moolingwa

there's a lot of things I'd pay someone else to do ;)

10:49 am

hokie carla

we have turned into DIYers 😁. plus have a lot of time on our hands.

10:49 am

cybernan

me too -- like cooking, cleaning, gardening....

10:49 am

moolingwa

heh

10:50 am

moolingwa

yeah, I think time is the biggest deterrent for me. If I didn't have other things to do...

10:51 am

hokie carla

I have a lot of sewing projects to do for the new house.

10:51 am

moolingwa

I can imagine

10:51 am

cybernan

I don't even mind cooking -- it's figuring out what to make that is different and that both of us can eat that is the challenge.

10:51 am

hurshy

10:52 am

marksdolly

hi Hokie!

10:52 am

marksdolly

gm fellow babblers!

10:52 am

10:52 am

hokie carla

hello dolly!

10:52 am

hurshy

oh haha the chat had moved on

10:52 am

moolingwa

hey dolly

10:52 am

marksdolly

hi Mool!

10:52 am

moolingwa

happy Thursday (I think)

10:53 am

hokie carla

I have really thought it was Saturday all day.

10:53 am

marksdolly

every day is a good day , if my eyes open and my feet hit the floor :)

10:54 am

moolingwa

I thought it was a day...then I remembered I have to place my milk order today, so that makes it Thursday

10:54 am

hokie carla

I didn't even make coffee this morning because I knew I didn't have any creamer here.

10:54 am

Sophie512

You are so right!

10:54 am

10:55 am

moolingwa

what hoke is in the process of doing ;)

10:55 am

hokie carla

yes!

10:55 am

hokie carla

HA8

10:56 am

hokie carla

that was the fun one

10:56 am

MollyL

PR8

10:56 am

cybernan

ty mool and dolly

10:57 am

marksdolly

:)

10:57 am

hokie carla

I guess that's my missing P then.

10:57 am

moolingwa

it's a strange combo of prefix and word

10:57 am

hokie carla

it's not for a group singing in harmony

10:58 am

hokie carla

aha, thx molly

10:58 am

hokie carla

and yes, not sure where they were going with that one. strange indeed.

10:59 am

hurshy

well that's very close to being a french word

10:59 am

moolingwa

perhaps it's from the antirope crowd

10:59 am

hurshy

so it may not be a prefix at all

10:59 am

hokie carla

no definition on the link

11:00 am

hurshy

in french it means "next", if you add an e to it

11:00 am

moolingwa

yeah, looks like it's the same word hursh

11:00 am

MollyL

Jacob Marley!!

11:00 am

hurshy

or maybe it's with e for feminine things and without for masculine things

11:00 am

hurshy

i forget

11:01 am

hurshy

is the ha8 a compound?

11:01 am

hokie carla

no, might be spanish origin

11:01 am

MollyL

No, amiga

11:01 am

hokie carla

makes me think of magnum PI

11:01 am

hurshy

ah, thanks

11:01 am

moolingwa

hairtonic

11:01 am

cybernan

ty for the pr 8 --- next?

11:02 am

moolingwa

oh yeah, definitely spanish

11:02 am

MollyL

That is what Google says. Pr8 means next in French

11:03 am

moolingwa

I only have one 7 left...I find that odd

11:03 am

hokie carla

why the heck is that on enable? when it excludes much more common foreign words.

11:03 am

moolingwa

50 to go

11:03 am

cybernan

ha is my missing 8 then

11:03 am

hokie carla

hmm, I have 4 7's left

11:03 am

hokie carla

(and I'm talking about the french next)

11:03 am

cybernan

actually next in French is a pr 9

11:04 am

MollyL

You will have to duke that out with Google, Nan

11:04 am

cybernan

look at any french dctionary, molly

11:05 am

cybernan

as we all know, google is far from gospel

11:05 am

hokie carla

still doesn't explain why it is on enable

11:05 am

hokie carla

5-16-10-4

11:05 am

moolingwa

maybe we should move onto the "next" word?

11:06 am

cybernan

did someone say that the ha 8 is spanish?

11:06 am

hokie carla

yes, nan, a large estate

11:06 am

moolingwa

yes, hoke said it...and I agreed

11:06 am

cybernan

that lets me out then -- I know as much spanish as hokie does french

11:07 am

hokie carla

I keep seeing gardenia even though the G is nowhere near the ardenia

11:07 am

moolingwa

it seems to come up a bit in literature

11:07 am

cybernan

yes me too - that and orchard

11:07 am

hokie carla

yes, but this spanish is way more in english than that french word

11:07 am

moolingwa

yeah, I was trying to come up with a definition for cardenia....maybe a floral greeting card?

11:08 am

hokie carla

what mothers will get on Sunday - a cardenia

11:09 am

cybernan

don't even know where to start with that ha 8

11:10 am

hokie carla

I feel quite certain you have heard or seen the word in your lifetime.

11:10 am

hokie carla

I don't even know how else to clue it.

11:11 am

cybernan

spanish is not a language that is used up here, carla

11:11 am

MollyL

Spanish plantation

11:11 am

cybernan

the only spanish words I know are what I've seen on street signs in Palm Desert

11:12 am

cybernan

no idea molly

11:14 am

MollyL

And yet there it is, first hit on a Google search

11:17 am

Sophie512

Nan, just type in large estate in Spanish

11:18 am

leisl

prch

11:18 am

leisl

sorry

11:18 am

cybernan

I don't know what a large estate is in spanish

11:19 am

cybernan

oh - a spanish house -- see it now

11:19 am

cybernan

ty

11:31 am

hokie carla

so, have you seen the word before?

11:40 am

MollyL

11:53 am

1:29 pm

hokie carla

wondering what nan's missing G was since I need one and have the ones she mentioned.

1:31 pm

moolingwa

My last one was a 4

1:31 pm

moolingwa

but could be a 5

1:32 pm

hokie carla

since I don't have a 5 I'm going to guess it's that

1:32 pm

moolingwa

well you should find it if you just kind of focus on what you already hav

1:36 pm

moolingwa

looks like it :)

1:36 pm

hokie carla

has anyone complained about reair yet? that episode will reair in a month. it's a word!

1:36 pm

moolingwa

not that I've noticed

1:37 pm

moolingwa

seems an anachronism now :)

1:38 pm

moolingwa

caroon - to bound something off a wall and leave it there

1:39 pm

hokie carla

well, there's a fish I could've sworn I already had.

1:39 pm

moolingwa

choicier - to have more options than expected

1:40 pm

moolingwa

well don't go on about it

1:40 pm

moolingwa

found my last 7

1:40 pm

hokie carla

super

1:40 pm

hokie carla

I can't believe I found any 🤣

1:40 pm

moolingwa

yeah, though I don't want to get too carried away by it

1:41 pm

moolingwa

still have seven 6s

1:41 pm

hokie carla

did you finish the K?

1:41 pm

moolingwa

no, one K left

1:42 pm

hokie carla

same

1:42 pm

hokie carla

oh yeah, I could've checked your list

1:42 pm

hokie carla

did I mention I had no coffee today and am a bit brain dead

1:42 pm

moolingwa

brains are so overrated

1:43 pm

hokie carla

maybe

1:43 pm

moolingwa

spleens are where it's at

1:43 pm

hokie carla

haha

1:44 pm

moolingwa

don't need coffee to get your spleen going

1:44 pm

hokie carla

I admit I don't know what the spleen actually does and what happens to people who rupture them

1:44 pm

moolingwa

I had to look it up to be honest

1:44 pm

moolingwa

apparently it produces lymphocytes

1:45 pm

moolingwa

so, part of your immune system

1:45 pm

hokie carla

looks like it's good at fighting infections

1:45 pm

moolingwa

I guess I'm more attracted to the word than it's function

1:45 pm

moolingwa

although undoubtedly having a good immune system is important

1:45 pm

hokie carla

btw, I think I've tried adrena 2x today just in case

1:46 pm

moolingwa

I only tried it once...maybe twice

1:46 pm

moolingwa

IIt was complete chaos when I finally got that lone A

1:47 pm

hokie carla

yep

1:47 pm

moolingwa

arenot - schoolyard parlance

1:48 pm

hokie carla

seems legit

1:49 pm

joym999

1:49 pm

hokie carla

1:49 pm

hokie carla

1:49 pm

hokie carla

sorry, no can do on the co7, but I shall look

1:50 pm

joym999

how are you carla?

1:50 pm

moolingwa

there's also a lion, a witch and a wardrobe ;)

1:50 pm

hokie carla

yes, wasn't it just in one of the last 2 days as well?

1:50 pm

hokie carla

fine, how are you doing, joy?

1:50 pm

joym999

also the woman who was unfairly accused of breaking up the Beatles

1:51 pm

joym999

I'm doing pretty well, although the news these days is making me upset

1:51 pm

hokie carla

so many NTPN, so little time

1:51 pm

hokie carla

I'm sorry

1:51 pm

4:31 pm

justafreep

I was once getting something xeroxed and wearing a sweatshirt from a college here in the US. The clerk looked at it and said... "Huh. I know all the colleges, but I can't quite place that one." I did not know how to reply.

4:32 pm

Sophie512

so, did you tell him about it?

4:32 pm

periwinkle

re5 please

4:32 pm

justafreep

Yes. Yes I did. And to his credit, he listened and... uh... didn't tell me it wasn't a college

4:33 pm

justafreep

I have an re5/12 - starts with a color

4:33 pm

Sophie512

Bless him.

4:35 pm

Sophie512

DE7 ?

joym999

DE7 is ancient Roman money. Ends in double vowel.

4:36 pm

periwinkle

4:38 pm

justafreep

It was the College of Charleston

4:38 pm

justafreep

Well, I don't think any of you are claiming to know all the colleges, are you?

4:39 pm

joym999

according to Google there are 5300 colleges in the U.S. Pretty hard to know them all.

4:39 pm

justafreep

Yes. Yes it is.

4:39 pm

Sophie512

oh, wow, My older son lives there. His wife went there to dental school, after they met at GA Tech (another one I'm sure you've all heard of)

4:41 pm

justafreep

Ha. Small world. You would not have doubted the college ness of my sweatshirt

4:42 pm

justafreep

This was decades ago, but I have always remembered the strange claim. Like... why would anyone know all the colleges or claim to or want to?

4:42 pm

periwinkle

4:43 pm

Sophie512
