Mmm, bacon.... My doctor once told me that every slice of bacon I eat takes six minutes off my life expectancy. I told him if that was the case, I should have died in 1989...

7:31 am

8:52 am

MollyL

Every time I click on Eva's profile and see the thumbnails of her Flicker photos, I am reminded that she must have at least 10 closets for all those clothes. 😊

8:55 am

mael

9:00 am

EvaNadine

oh molly...those photos are SO OLD. i probably dont even own most of those clothes anymore!

9:00 am

hurshy

but do you remember the day the icon theme was green at your request

9:01 am

MollyL

Yes but I bet you have a whole new (extensive) wardrobe to replace them, you fashion hound

9:01 am

EvaNadine

i do. green is still my favorite -- and my son's too!

9:03 am

hurshy

:)

9:04 am

9:40 am

MollyL

Never heard of it before but you will probably get it in 3 minutes

9:40 am

hurshy

i got it before i said thanks

9:40 am

MollyL

See

9:41 am

hurshy

if i was merely thanking for the information i probably would not have used an exclamation point :)

9:41 am

hurshy

however, i've never heard of it either, i just monkeyed it

9:41 am

cybernan

good morning everyone - nice to see crossy in the chat - it's been a while

9:42 am

hurshy

and EvaNadine!!

9:44 am

hurshy

are all the K words 4 letters? i'm missing 2 Ks

9:46 am

cybernan

missing 4 and all 4's so far

9:46 am

hurshy

oh, no, i have now finished the fours, so there are 2 Ks that are not 4s

9:46 am

10:02 am

EvaNadine

hints for the left-most E tile?

10:03 am

rururocks

et5 and em4

10:04 am

cybernan

ty for the em reminder

10:04 am

EvaNadine

oh. i totally forgot the EM4 was a word! so rusty!

10:10 am

cybernan

how did I know that that most ridiculous fl 5/18 would be accepted

10:11 am

cybernan

that and the fl 5/16 make a mockery of the english language

10:12 am

cybernan

If this is evolution of the english language it is only because there are enough lazy people who can't be bothered to learn how to spell.

10:28 am

mael

I think it's a baseball term, nan :)

10:29 am

BzznBea

Are you talking about the word that sounds like a scheduled plane ride?

10:30 am

MollyL

The one Bea mentioned has a valid definition based on an Old English word

10:32 am

stu mcc

It's a dialect word from the north of England , means to mock or deride

10:36 am

mael

I figured you meant the one that sounds like an incorrect past tense (but which is apparently the correct past tense for a baseball term)

10:37 am

MollyL

That is a 5/18

10:37 am

BzznBea

Thank you, stu. Many of us N. Americans forget there are others in the world that speak English and have different spellings, pronunciations, and meanings.

10:37 am

mael

see, and I saw that too and did the math wrong

10:37 am

mael

thanks bea

10:38 am

mael

but I guess I would like to push back against the idea of laziness, language evolves all the time! shortcuts are part of it :)

10:38 am

BzznBea

Exactly, mael.

10:38 am

rururocks

hence HOET

10:38 am

rururocks

:D

10:39 am

BzznBea

LOL!

10:39 am

MollyL

There is a difference between language evolving and people who are too lazy to type entire words

10:46 am

mael

is that not why we have apostrophes?

10:48 am

rururocks

DING!

10:49 am

11:01 am

mattygroves

These art desperate years forsooth, at which hour the youth fail to learneth how to writeth english and to spell properly. Words art like the air we breathe - constant and unchanging

11:15 am

rururocks

11:15 am

rururocks

11:15 am

penquis

11:16 am

rururocks

people who don't find it will get the shaft though

11:16 am

rururocks

rururocks

11:22 am

rururocks

I don't want to be at fault

11:23 am

penquis

oh you are well grounded, i am sure...

11:23 am

rururocks

I am the bedrock of the chat sometimes

11:23 am

EvaNadine

ruru really drills down to the core of things.

11:25 am

penquis

worst oVOL CAN NO pun be too bad?....

11:25 am

EvaNadine

that one chipped away at decency, for sure.

11:26 am

rururocks

11:26 am

penquis

with that, i am done...

11:26 am

rururocks

EvaNadine

11:27 am

rururocks

11:29 am

EvaNadine

11:37 am

rururocks

I don't know how you can keep them all strata

11:38 am

EvaNadine

11:41 am

rururocks
