rururocks

hi welks.. just coming up for air

10:55 am

welki

hi ru - enjoying the sound of the rain here

10:56 am

rururocks

we can sure use it here

10:56 am

welki

the long range forecast for northern ca is cold and rainy for the next two weeks or so, so we've changed our plans. instead of heading to trinidad, we're going to arizona

10:57 am

rururocks

wow.. who's watching daphne?

10:57 am

welki

she's with us

10:57 am

rururocks

oh.. i see

10:58 am

rururocks

is she a good traveler?

10:58 am

welki

was just going to say she's a terrific traveler! but still so reactive/hyper. she's a difficult dog in social situations

10:59 am

rururocks

I'm not sure we're dining on the patio tomorrow with this iffy weather

11:00 am

welki

inside is just fine - company will be great, scenery is optional

11:00 am

rururocks

it'

11:01 am

rururocks

it is a really nice restaurant.. wish the weather held for you

11:02 am

welki

this is the first rainy day since we started our trip

11:04 am

rururocks

hopefully it will be sunny by the weekend

11:05 am

rururocks

i'm bringing a bottle of the Piron for you to try.

11:05 am

welki

it'd be nice if it cleared up, but we're expecting to pack up and start driving in the rain - at least it's not snow :)

11:05 am

rururocks

when do you depart?

11:06 am

welki

thanks for the wine - i look every time we're in a store

11:06 am

welki

we're due to leave on the 6th, but might cut out a day early - depends on the weather

11:07 am

rururocks

ah ok.. not great to drive in the pouring rain.. but we never get big storms this early in the year

11:08 am

penquis

rehi

11:08 am

rururocks

nothing wrong with arizona except their crazy politicians

11:10 am

welki

we haven't spent much time in the desert - i found a place that's really remote. there's a good fishing lake about 40 minutes away and 2 hour day trips in any direction

11:10 am

welki

it'd be more perfect if we had brought our UTV with us - there are trails everywhere

11:10 am

hokie carla

rehi here too

11:11 am

hokie carla

11:14 am

hokie carla

quick check...there is not a closer beach

11:16 am

FYI - neither blooddemon nor demonblood is a word at the bee 🤣

12:40 pm

hokie carla

12:41 pm

penquis

go, carla....27 left here....

12:42 pm

hokie carla

there's my last M and last 7. could've sworn I already had that.

12:43 pm

common problem with bigger grids...

12:43 pm

hokie carla

yep

12:43 pm

hokie carla

2-3-4

12:44 pm

penquis

is the 9 a word I would know?

12:45 pm

hokie carla

well, nan & I couldn't decide last night what it means. could be 2 different ways. do you want the stat or a subtle nudge?

12:45 pm

penquis

i will take a nudge, thanks...

12:46 pm

hokie carla

similar to one of the he7

12:47 pm

penquis

ok, thanks.....will fiddle with that...

12:48 pm

hokie carla

either unnecessary feminine word or related to a drug

12:49 pm

penquis

got it...weird...

12:50 pm

hokie carla

yep

12:51 pm

penquis

tried to see the definition, but dictionary.com changed their page and I can't use it to find it....that is weird, too...

12:51 pm

penquis

ty for the nudge...

12:52 pm

penquis

apparently it's related to the drug...

12:53 pm

hokie carla

last night when I clicked it went to dictionary.com but said no definition

12:54 pm

penquis

that is what i experienced....and i typed the word in at the website and still didn't get a definition...

12:54 pm

hokie carla

so my first impression was correct

12:56 pm

hokie carla

ooh, found my N's. 7 left!

12:56 pm

penquis

cool...

12:57 pm

BzznBea

12:59 pm

penquis

ditto....warm weather this fall here....

1:00 pm

Soodle

It's warm enough here, but constant rain and low clouds. I was driving to work this morning and the sky was the same colour as the road. Grim and dismal.

1:01 pm

penquis

bummer...

1:01 pm

penquis

well i am stalled at 24 so i am taking a break....bye all....

1:02 pm

moolingwa

SSS R H V E

2:10 pm

hokie carla

H was a plural that I was sure I had tried

2:10 pm

hokie carla

you were guessing my u, bea?

2:11 pm

BzznBea

your 9 is the h, mool.

2:11 pm

hokie carla

also don't feel bad about my S even though we've had it before

2:11 pm

BzznBea

Yes, was going to ask if you had the bears.

2:12 pm

hokie carla

also my E we've had but whatevs

2:16 pm

hokie carla

bea, did you see they finally arrested someone for killing those delphi girls?

2:19 pm

BzznBea

I knew they were close.

2:20 pm

BzznBea

I think a lot of cold cases are going to start heating up with the advances made in dna.

3:25 pm

hokie carla

and e6

3:25 pm

hokie carla

maybe R5

3:27 pm

hokie carla

s6 that was my last. and then a 5/6 set but I'm not sure which you have.

3:31 pm

moolingwa

ah

3:41 pm

moolingwa

yeah, was e6

3:42 pm

hokie carla

just clicked on def. not what I expected.

3:43 pm

moolingwa

oh yeah, did not expect that either

4:01 pm

moolingwa

it's the top s, not the bottom one

4:02 pm

moolingwa

but a 5/6 combo would make sense

4:02 pm

hokie carla

did you find the other S6?

4:02 pm

moolingwa

yep, was a 5/6 combo

4:02 pm

moolingwa

3 to go ...S R V

0-1-2

4:03 pm

hokie carla

was thinking you'd have that as a NZer

4:04 pm

hokie carla

last 3 are what I expect, though you could be missing a different R5 than I'm thinking.

I have a compulsion to be the Queen Bee everyday. My partner and I work on it until we get all the words.

a compulsion to be the Queen Bee everyday...sounds like therapy talk

moolingwa

Good for you joy, it's certainly challenging

4:18 pm

joym999

I'll bet there are shrinks in NY who help people who are addicted to NYTimes word games.

4:18 pm

MollyL

Sad but probably true

4:19 pm

joym999

ty moo. Their dictionary is weird, too. It uses a fair amount of NYC slang, but that's where I'm from.

4:25 pm

moolingwa

Yeah, I noticed that...I like the game, not fond of the arbitrary dictionary

4:25 pm

moolingwa

Have lived in NYC a couple of times, so picked up some of it..

4:28 pm

joym999

At least words like "dunno" and "wanna" are familiar. Not like words for ancient Turkish currency or Mongolian basket weaving.

4:31 pm

moolingwa

they have some obscure ones in Bee though too, which makes it feel more arbitrary

4:32 pm

joym999

yes, that's true, moo, and it is annoying. They have some scientific terms but not others.

4:42 pm

moolingwa

the game itself though I do enjoy :)

our weather is still unstable. bouts of heavy rain alternating with bouts of brilliant sunshine.

10:58 pm

grannyrose

we live in a good area with few floods. only floods if drains blocked but local council keeping up to the mark with cleaning out the drains.

10:59 pm

cybernan

we've had summer weather up until the last 10 days, when autumn weather arrived. So far though it has been sunny during the day and rainy at night. We finally had a couple of nights of frost, so the apple harvest is now underway -- a little late this year.
