FWs...last word di 6/36, feel like an idiot....LOL
5:45 am
ItalianGreyhound

"He sa--, she sa--" has a plural? okay
7:20 am
MollyL

Apparently it is the plural of a variant spelling of the Arabic word sayid
7:21 am
aslindy

hello all
7:43 am
mael

hey all!
7:44 am
aslindy

hi mael
7:45 am
mael

hey lindy
7:46 am
mael

how's it going? pouring rain here today and 34 degrees, so that's fun
7:47 am
aslindy

cloudy, still, and 34 degrees. tomorrow, snowstorm with 2 - 10" of snow or more, depending who you ask.
7:54 am
MollyL

Yeah, right. Use sw8 in a sentence. Any sentence you make would get a big red circle from an English teacher.
8:02 am
mael

I dunno, I feel okay about it? if wo7 is a word, then... :)
8:04 am
hokie carla

I just sat down here and the first words I saw were sw6/8 without even knowing to look.
8:07 am
mael

it does run along the grid quite nicely :)
8:08 am
mael

right at eye level
8:08 am
hokie carla

yep
8:09 am
hokie carla

PSA - our favorite ham product/junk email now works
8:11 am
mael

that was quite the day!
8:15 am
MollyL

I will never figure out how Dr. God just randomly decides to add certain words
8:16 am
hurshy

:O
8:16 am
hokie carla

I know. that one's a weird case.
8:16 am
hurshy

top row grey!
8:16 am
MollyL

And he has opened himself up to a lot of requests. Especially from the easily offended who want words removed.
8:17 am
hokie carla

plus, there's a million tech related words like the sp4 that could be added, such as internet.
8:18 am
mael

eh but sp4 was always weird
8:18 am
mael

because it didn't say the word wasn't accepted, it said it didn't exist in the grid, even when it was there
8:18 am
hokie carla

yeah, it was weird that he tried to add it but it didn't work right
8:19 am
mael

you could say it was a mi7
8:19 am
mael

lol
8:19 am
MollyL

He was probably missing some code for the board that would make it take the word and not say it wasn't in the grid. Coding is complicated.
8:20 am
hokie carla

I guess you could,.thanks. might have tried that in desperation tonight.
8:20 am
marksdolly

good morning to you all!
8:20 am
marksdolly

hi Hokie!
8:20 am
hokie carla

hello dolly!
8:20 am
origami

It is strange to me that people want words removed. This is a word game. Go clutch your pearls some place else 😀
8:20 am
mael

hey there
8:21 am
mael

there are plenty of words I'd like to see removed, mainly the ones that haven't been spoken aloud in 120 years or so
8:21 am
mael

lol
8:22 am
mael

no one needs a variant spelling of some weird hat the Victorians encountered in their travels
8:22 am
hokie carla

yeah, anything that says "archaic"
8:22 am
MollyL

Thank you Origami. I so very much agree.
8:23 am
hokie carla

and yeah, those freaking variant spellings that have never been used
8:24 am
MollyL

I used to play a word game that must have been run by pearl clutches. Nothing, I mean nothing, off-color in the slightest was allowed. Not even fart.
8:24 am
MollyL

*Pearl clutchers
8:25 am
hokie carla

yeah, I play a phone one called whirly-word that is like that
8:25 am
hurshy

i do recommend squaredle, which accepts "normal" words and "weird" words on two different tiers, weird ones being "bonus"
8:25 am
hokie carla

I feel like it must be aimed at kids
8:26 am
MollyL

Ha! Kids love the word fart.
8:26 am
mael

my kids prefer "toot"
8:26 am
mael

because they think trumpeting butts are funnier
8:26 am
hokie carla

as someone who raised two boys, I agree
8:27 am
hokie carla

woot! grayed the H on first try.
8:27 am
MollyL

Toot is a girl thing. Boys would never use toot over fart.
8:27 am
mael

yep, the H is satisfying!
8:27 am
origami

I asked my son what was so funny about farts. He said "It makes a funny noise, it smells bad and it comes out of your butt." Boys!
8:27 am
mael

my son loves to say too
8:27 am
mael

toot
8:28 am
MollyL

Oh sorry mael, I thought you had girls.
8:28 am
mael

and my girl like potty humor more than he does, hah
8:28 am
phaeton

hello...may I have the stats for the bottom i pls
8:28 am
mael

I've got one each, they're a riot
8:29 am
MollyL

I swear I remember a picture of two girls you had as an icon once. Or did your son have long hair at one time?
8:29 am
hokie carla

8:29 am
mael

8:29 am
phaeton

ty
8:29 am
mael

he had long hair, yes. I am so sad I cut it because his curls never came back
8:29 am
EvaNadine

my son likes to say "booty-toot"
8:29 am
mael

he used to wear it in a bun
8:30 am
mael

he still doesn't like it shorter but he won't let me tie it out of his face so he can, you know, see. So bangs it is
8:33 am
hokie carla

hmm, the R isn't going as well as the H
8:37 am
mael

I have questions about the wi6/36...
8:37 am
hokie carla

need 2 w's from the top and haven't looked at the bottom one yet
8:37 am
hokie carla

but I doubt I can answer your questions 😜
8:40 am
hokie carla

well, I found it. just classic enable arbitrariness.
8:41 am
hokie carla

like why do they allow certain words to be that ending but not others
8:42 am
hurshy

got any wr?
8:42 am
hokie carla

LOL, just tried ma7 thinking no way
8:43 am
hokie carla

I don't and I had just noticed wr and looked
8:43 am
mael

the ma7 must be my last word!
8:43 am
mael

wait, it can't be the same ending
8:43 am
mael

oh lol it is

Congratulations

godthaab

Looking down the chat, I prefer eructate
8:44 am
hokie carla

for what? godthaab making me use a dictionary
8:44 am
godthaab

hahhahaha
8:54 am
hokie carla

HOET and 42 left for later. TTFN
9:03 am
hurshy

well you H experts, which one do you think i would miss?
9:04 am
MollyL

Eructate, do people really talk like that?
9:05 am
welki

he 6/24
9:06 am
hurshy

yes, that'll be it
9:06 am
hurshy

ty
9:06 am
welki

:)
9:06 am
rururocks

I have no idea what eructate means
9:07 am
hurshy

me neither, but, i would never want to make someone feel weird for having an extensive vocabulary
9:08 am
montreal13

i don't talk like that but i know what it means (smug)
9:09 am
MollyL

Call me weird. I prefer to communicate with words I think people will understand.
9:11 am
rururocks

well I guess if there was ever a place to use a large vocabulary it would be here
9:11 am
hurshy

nobody needs to be called weird, that is the point. we can be different without anyone needing to be classed as weird.
9:12 am
rururocks

she didn't really say weird hursh.. you're taking it a bit far
9:12 am
montreal13

having a large vocabulary certainly helps in this game !
9:13 am
hurshy

no, she did not say weird. i was suggesting that when one regularly expresses shock in a disdainful manner when people use words, that can make people feel weird.
9:13 am
rururocks

I don't really have that large a vocabulary and I do ok at this game
9:14 am
hurshy

and then i was pointing out that Molly doesn't need to be weird for NOT using the word, either.
9:15 am
montreal13

OK...moving on...
9:16 am
welki

<-- is weird. ask anyone :)
9:16 am
MollyL

Disdainful manner? I made a joke with Carla about portmanteau and some other words in a conversation. And when it got shot down I stopped doing it. I have never heard anyone use eructate for fart.

Hurshy - one can never be overdressed or overeducated. i use eructate all the time.

Molly - yes I really talk like that!
9:30 am

my question is why eructate when eruct is more concise
9:33 am
godthaab

six of one, half dozen of another

Hi Godthaab. I had no doubt that you do talk like that and I don't think you're weird.

well I'm going to use it as often as possible now :D
9:35 am
godthaab

Molly I use erectate for fart all the time. There are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in your philosophy :)

You are right - I don't think I am weird

Most of the movies I have seen lately have been weird. Especially Everything Everywhere All At Once. That takes the "weird cake".
10:05 am
hokie carla

and again, no one called or implied godthaab was weird (except maybe hurshy)
10:06 am
hurshy

oh for heaven's sake. yes, there are different senses of the word weird. weird can be great. people can embrace being weird. all i was saying is that if someone uses a word and you say "do people really talk like that?" it holds the potential to make them feel weird in a not-good way.
10:07 am
hokie carla

or it also has the potential to make them feel smart in a good way
10:07 am

Well don't you fret. Godthaab and I are just fine.

standard operating procedure?

yes
11:35 am

ok -- wondering if carla has a background in the military or government? They are the only people I know of that use a whole bunch of acronymns -- I'm convinced it is so that nobody else will know what they are talking about!
11:35 am
hokie carla

I thought that was standard acronym
11:36 am
hokie carla

I do not, nan, but have watched a lot of movies, tv, and read a lot of books
11:36 am
cybernan

first time I've seen it -- you have to remember my occupation involved teaching people how to spell and use proper English grammar -- no acronyms there!
11:37 am
hokie carla

pretty sure it is military
11:38 am
hokie carla

but has crept into everyday life via entertainment
11:38 am

there is a reason seats of government are called alphabet cities :D
11:39 am

am I weird for using it or just smarter than y'all?

Kaplan the Magne

I suppose, looking back in the chat, that I am one of the sensitive ones that want words removed. Yes it is a word game, and things are words. But including words that hav NO other meaning than to be a racial or ethnic slur , and having half the players not know it is a slur, makes the game less safe for some. Sp5 is a racial slur but also has a common meaning - you dig? The words I call out are cunt, sago, spic ( I think), jew as a verb, etc. I will continue to call out these words because sometimes people don't know their meaning. it can be instructive for people who don't know they hold negative stereotypes. These days it helps to have sensitivity because there is so much hatred. I don't think these words should be cancelled, but I don't like them being in Enable in a game I use. Enable is very unpredictable in what is allowed. That's all to my rant today.
11:47 am
Kaplan the Magne

I don't know why there has to be so much conflict in a word game that we play for amusement.

Kaplan the Magne

Is anyone here familiar with CKD (Chronic Kidney DIsease)?
11:50 am

well i hope your dentist visit goes well...
11:51 am

I think this is the result of our own failure to develop means of replacing fossil fuels a lot sooner -- like 30 years ago
11:51 am
Kaplan the Magne

The dentist won't go well because I have been focused on CKD and feet issues.

11:54 am
Kaplan the Magne

I don't know why I never heard anything about Stage 1& 2.
11:54 am
amelu0218

I have appt next Tues to check bloodwork. Mine started w/undiagnosed UTI (no symptoms, well there were but I attributed them to hurting my back) CKD.
11:55 am
amelu0218

There are 5 stages if I remember correctly.
11:56 am
Kaplan the Magne

I have no symptoms, and I have a slight (1%) bit of hope that it was a false positive because of not giving an adequate UA sample.
11:57 am
Kaplan the Magne

3a you can maintain forever, 3b IDK, Stage 4 is dialysis, and stage 5 is you need a new kidney. The National Kidney Foundation is a good source of info.
11:57 am
amelu0218

Had doc visit a year ago, bloodwork done, they called me and told me to go to ER immediately as my potassium level was dangerously low. @ ER, the resident finally called for a urine test and discovered the UTI. I think at that point my renal function was down to 15.
11:58 am
Kaplan the Magne

My brother had kidney cancer (they took it out) and my aunt died while on dialysis. I got the lab numbers before my doctor saw them or had a chance to talk with me. These patient portals are awful.
11:59 am
amelu0218

My primary care doc didn't seem alarmed, lol. She told me to slack up on alcohol and drink more water and see if my level would rise... it has, gradually. We shall see.
11:59 am
Kaplan the Magne

So how are you now?
12:00 pm
Kaplan the Magne

Mine didn't seem alarmed over my bloodwork, idk why. I don't drink alcohol because of my GI issues, and I am drinking so much water that...Oh, you don't want to hear all this.
12:00 pm
amelu0218

Well, no symptoms, no jaundice, no pain. If I hadn't seen test results I wouldn't even know. Will find out next week if I'm continuing to revive it. I'm not on any meds for it, so...
12:01 pm
amelu0218

LOL! No worries. Glad to know I'm not the only one!
12:02 pm
penquis

gotta go move my car...bbl to finish...bye all....
12:02 pm
Kaplan the Magne

CKD doesn't go backward- meaning if the diagnosis is correct, all I can do is maintain. Cant' go back to stage 2 or 1. Why I was not told this- just to drink more water, but not WHY-I've been very upset by the whole thing.
12:02 pm
Kaplan the Magne

I think Enable should remove the word Kidney because it traumatizes me.
12:03 pm
Kaplan the Magne

I wouldn't have known either.

12:03 pm

Yep. I refuse to wiki/google it. I looked up info when I first found out and my girl child is in the medical field and she's the one that threw up the red flag.

Getting older is not for kids.

Dealing with diabetes is enough
12:06 pm
Kaplan the Magne

I've had the same doctor for at least 25 years. I trust her to be honest with me. I don't think doctors like having lab results being posted on the portal before they have even reviewed them. IDK what all those numbers mean- I am not a medical doctor.
12:07 pm
Kaplan the Magne

I am prediabetic. Sometimes I am pre-prediabetic. That means looking at a chart.
12:07 pm
cybernan

nobody changing doctors around here -- we have such a shortage of doctors that people are just left hanging when their doctor retires.
12:08 pm
amelu0218

and I've gotten the same, "drink more water" but no explaination for it.
12:08 pm
Kaplan the Magne

There's a renal dietician that I tried to get an appointment with.
12:08 pm

I like having my numbers on the portal. Especially my Hg A1C [diabetes measurement]

Here's the main thing for everyone DO NOT TAKE ADVIL, IBUPROFEN OR ANY NSAIDS. Tylenol is not good for the liver, but NSAIDS have direct link to kidney problems. Tested and confirmed.
12:11 pm

I've been told that by my doctor, Kap.
12:11 pm
bichon

Kaplan, I hear that from my doctor
12:11 pm
amelu0218

I like having access to mine so I can do my own compare from last to new and act on that as necessary. I can go back and see what fluctuates from year to year. I'm not one to freak out over such things, but I know there are some who would.
12:11 pm
Kaplan the Magne

Doctors always tell people to take Advil for pain, because they have been scared out of prescribing opioids. Guess what? People don't just suddenly become addicted with a short course of oxycodone.

Exactly. Sciatica.
