6:53 am

Kiani

6:53 am

aslindy

somebody's dog barked to go out at 5 am

6:54 am

aslindy

but the weird thing is gigabob was already up, and he let them out!

6:54 am

Kiani

7:36 am

Scrabbler

Hi Hurshy

7:36 am

hurshy

howzit

7:36 am

Scrabbler

I passed halfway but I am still looking for words. Are your kitties warm?

7:37 am

hurshy

they don't go outside, so, yes!

7:38 am

hurshy

rilla is having her first morning suckle

7:40 am

Scrabbler

Of?

7:40 am

hurshy

hoodie string

7:40 am

Scrabbler

Ah.

7:40 am

hurshy

no physical nutrition, just emotional :D

7:40 am

MollyL

I always get the geebies when Hurshy says that.

7:41 am

Scrabbler

Like a pacifier.

7:41 am

hurshy

yes, exactly scrabs

7:42 am

hurshy

she suffered trauma on her first or second day of life, being kitnapped by a giant bird, then dropped and rescued, so it's not surprising that she might have an ongoing comfort mechanism

7:42 am

hurshy

and it's the cutest thing

7:43 am

Scrabbler

Poor kitten.

7:43 am

hurshy

she also has a deep and abiding concern about food potentially attracting predators

7:43 am

hurshy

if i have a snack next to me that i'm eating sometimes she'll be like "we need to cover this up, it could attract predators!"

7:44 am

hurshy

and i say, "but rill, you and your brothers are the only predators IN the house"

7:44 am

hurshy

and she says "who has more experience with predators, you or me?!?"

7:45 am

Scrabbler

Haha.

7:46 am

Scrabbler

64 left. I work at 1. Time to be productive.

7:47 am

hurshy

have a good day, sc!

7:52 am

hurshy

the blusteriness certainly can be interesting if you're a cat

8:01 am

hurshy

Ss Sunk!

8:01 am

hurshy

oh wait there's another S

8:07 am

hurshy

9:28 am

MollyL

Cold enough for you mael?

9:31 am

mael

oh and then some

9:32 am

mael

still nothing compared to tomorrow, they say the windchill will be in the -30s

9:52 am

MollyL

It's going to be cold here tomorrow too. I am doing today what was on the books for tomorrow to avoid contact with the outside air tomorrow.

9:54 am

rururocks

i have a in8

9:55 am

MollyL

I thought you were in8 😊

9:55 am

rururocks

no I have a robe on

9:55 am

rururocks

that's more Cindy's thing isn't it?

9:59 am

rururocks

found a nine finally

9:59 am

MollyL

Found a peanut

10:20 am

rururocks

looks like just a freep gets the tiara today

10:23 am

justafreep

I do. And I look smashing in it, if I say so myself.

10:24 am

rururocks

I know.. I have to wear sunglasses the brightness is blinding

11:14 am

hokie carla

freep, it does suit you

11:15 am

hokie carla

38 left after first pass. HOET. 7-7-9-11-2-2

11:17 am

MollyL

I'm trying to figure out if it's a compliment or not if you tell a guy that a tiara suits him. Thinking...

11:17 am

hokie carla

he said he looked smashing, so it was a compliment

11:18 am

MollyL

It probably doesn't matter. Nowadays, people are so sensitive that even compliments are looked at in a funny way sometimes.

11:19 am

hokie carla

probably not okay to compliment actual beauty pageant queens wearing actual tiaras

11:20 am

MollyL

It is so hard for me to believe that after all the strides made by feminists, we still have beauty pageants.

11:21 am

hokie carla

they argue they are scholarship pageants

11:21 am

MollyL

Hahahahaha!

11:27 am

periwinkle

hello all. help with te8 or in8 please

11:27 am

periwinkle

cold and very windy here. staying inside today and all weekend

11:28 am

hokie carla

in8 is like a streaker is charged with in8 exposure

11:28 am

periwinkle

sheesh, ty I did have the base word did not think to add in

11:29 am

periwinkle

got the te8

11:29 am

periwinkle

last missing 8 8 is the de8

11:30 am

hokie carla

te7/8 is a word we have a bit. maybe an alt sp of a soup bowl/mug? no def

11:30 am

hokie carla

nm, you peri'd it

11:30 am

hokie carla

I don't have that one

11:30 am

hokie carla

ah, a one who does word

11:31 am

hokie carla

goes with the de6/7 that is like an official proclamation

11:31 am

periwinkle

ty got it

11:32 am

moolingwa

hey ho

11:32 am

periwinkle

hey moo

11:32 am

hokie carla

11:34 am

periwinkle

bbl

11:40 am

MollyL

Baa!

11:55 am

hokie carla

well, I am stuck with 34. 6-6-9-10-1-2. guess I will check out the bee.

12:16 pm

moolingwa

I'm stuck with 60-42-33-18-5-2

12:17 pm

MollyL

I'm stuck in the middle with you

12:17 pm

MollyL

I'm also stuck on bandaids

1:21 pm

cybernan

hello everyone. I'm stuck on carla/mool code

1:29 pm

hokie carla

wow, I highly doubt moo was stuck with that many left. oh wait, was 60 the total?

1:29 pm

hokie carla

hey nan

1:29 pm

dcseain

random strings of numbers from my POV

1:29 pm

dcseain

hello

1:30 pm

hokie carla

molly, don't forget they changed the ad to try to regain brand recognition - I am stuck on band-aid brand 'cause band-aid's stuck on me.

1:30 pm

MollyL

No one really gets it but them, Nan.

1:31 pm

hokie carla

oh, I see what moo did, he was claiming to be stuck with 0 found words. definitely calling BS on that. :D

1:32 pm

hokie carla

I thought nan was one of the few people that did get it. and no offense, people who don't, but it's super simple, so I don't get why you don't get it.

1:37 pm

cybernan

number of words left in each row?

1:38 pm

dcseain

that would make sense.

1:39 pm

cybernan

don't know if that is it or not seain

1:39 pm

dcseain

I was clear at the lack of certainty, seems a plausible guess.

1:40 pm

MollyL

Carla says she is stuck with 34. Then she lists six numbers. There are only five rows

1:40 pm

dcseain

there are 6 stats today.

1:41 pm

MollyL

I don't know. I really don't need to know how many words a person has left or what the break down of that is, but that's just me.

1:45 pm

dcseain

lede in grid and not accepted hmph

1:47 pm

cybernan

old quiz show host Bennet is in the grid today

1:47 pm

MollyL

Cerf!

1:48 pm

MollyL

I thought he was more famous for founding Random House.

1:48 pm

cybernan

that too - gold star for Molly

1:49 pm

dcseain

that's what I know him from, Molly.

1:50 pm

cybernan

had never heard of him before What's MY Line was aired.

1:50 pm

hokie carla

sorry, was elsewhere. it is known as the hurshian code.
6-6-9-10-1-2 means I have 6 4 letter words left, 6 5 letter words left, 9 6 letter words left, 10 7 letter words left, 1 8 letter word left, and 2 9 letter words left for a total of 34 words.

1:51 pm

hokie carla

then this grid code is how many words left on each tile:
T
F CCC
RRRRR L DD
EE S
SSSSSS PPPPPP HHH III

1:54 pm

MollyL

And you think people are really interested in the minute details that gives? 😋

1:56 pm

MollyL

I mean, I know Hurshy is, but that is a whole different dimension.

1:57 pm

cybernan

enough - listing for last 22

1:58 pm

hokie carla

yes, some of us like stats: me, hurshy, moo, and there are others that play along occasionally.

1:59 pm

mael

I like stats too :)

1:59 pm

dcseain

yay statistics!

1:59 pm

hokie carla

yes, mael

2:00 pm

mael

speaking of stats, I have one left, E7

2:00 pm

hokie carla

seain is even overly enthusiastic about stats

2:00 pm

mael

not the tumescent one ;)

2:00 pm

mael

oh, it's one who does the thing. FW!

2:00 pm

cybernan

one who and pt, mael

2:01 pm

cybernan

grats

2:01 pm

mael

thanks! I liked this grid today

2:01 pm

hokie carla

well done

2:01 pm

hokie carla

I guess I need 2 E7 then

2:02 pm

cybernan

I know I've entered most of these words before

2:04 pm

moolingwa

rehi

2:05 pm

moolingwa

how's you mom doing hoke?

2:05 pm

cybernan

hi mool

2:05 pm

moolingwa

hey nan, we made it to another Friday....woohoo!

2:06 pm

cybernan

yes -- hate the weekends

2:06 pm

hokie carla

well, she seems a little more with it today, but we found out she did have a stroke and may have to have something done to an artery.

2:07 pm

moolingwa

well at least some partly good news

2:07 pm

cybernan

oh - is she in hospital carla?

2:07 pm

dcseain

that's hopeful news

2:09 pm

hokie carla

yeah, nan, has been here since Tues. in retrospect, she prob had the stroke last fri am, and possibly a smaller one the wed before, but we wrote all the symptoms off to a UTI that we were told she had.

2:09 pm

cybernan

are they going to put a stent in her artery then?

2:11 pm

hokie carla

I think something like that. don't remember the official word but the dr. didn't say it as a stent, which I'm familiar with. they did some more tests this afternoon and then the vascular surgeon will decide what to do.

2:11 pm

moolingwa

how's your back...improving?

2:11 pm

cybernan

hope all goes well for her.

2:12 pm

MollyL

Sorry to hear that Carla. I hope she has good doctors and nurses and gets the best care possible.

2:13 pm

hokie carla

actually, the PT came today and moved her into the recliner I'd been using, so now I have a worse chair. I suppose I could sit it it right now while she's napping in the bed. so back is hurting again. I did drive and get lunch today though.

2:13 pm

hokie carla

thanks, molly & nan

2:13 pm

moolingwa

I'm sure you missed those protein bars

2:14 pm

hokie carla

I started eating a breakfast bar at lunch and I was so hungry. I said, I'm just going to get some five guys. :D I knew they were coming to get her for a cat scan.

2:15 pm

Sophie512

Take care of yourself, Carla. Sometimes, we're so busy taking care of others, we forget that.

2:15 pm

cybernan

you do realize your mom will probably be on a fat free diet?

2:15 pm

hokie carla

thanks, sophie

2:16 pm

hokie carla

well, I'm sure they'll tell her to do something with her diet.

2:19 pm

cybernan

*!*~*!* a much nicer grid today -- bye everyone :)

2:39 pm

dcseain

2:39 pm
