lol hi freep :)

12:34 am

justafreep

I AM THE BABBLER!

12:34 am

sprite

so you are :D

12:39 am

justafreep

I am the babbler who doesn't believe there are any 9 letter words in the grid.

12:41 am

justafreep

pe7 x 4, btw

12:41 am

sprite

I know that feeling. I am the babbler who doesn't believe K words exist.

12:42 am

justafreep

I kowtow to your knowledge or the other 25 letters, though

12:43 am

sprite

*giggles* That is because you don't see all the nonsense words I type in between hits

12:43 am

justafreep

I reach a point in each grid where I'm thinking "if I can' pronounce it, I will type it!" Sometimes that actually works.

12:44 am

justafreep

like with an ne7 I just monkeyed

12:44 am

sprite

oh yes. If it even remotely could be a welsh word or a foreign currency... worth trying

12:46 am

justafreep

one day we're going to type something in and the definition will be 'archaic Scottish slang for a Welsh word for foreign money with pictures of birds or plants" and the game will collapse in on itself

12:47 am

sprite

omg LOLOLOL yes!

12:48 am

justafreep

it it uses W as its only vowel, the internet might actually break.

12:49 am

cybernan

I don't think I'm playing the same grid as the people who are seeing all those 7's

12:51 am

sprite

those seemingly vowelless words are really hard to spot

12:51 am

sprite

oh I am totally biggie blind. Usually the last words I find are the biggies.

12:52 am

justafreep

most of the biggies are well hidden this time.

12:53 am

sprite

yep, normal situation. Halfway, only 3x7 and nothing bigger. But they will come.

this morning i read an in-depth piece about one of the worst-hit areas in hurricane Helene, that was pretty awful

12:07 pm

hurshy

i remember hokie talking about how bad it was but when you read the details of certain things it hits you differently

12:08 pm

BzznBea

It is heart wrenching what those people have been through. And are still dealing with.

12:10 pm

BzznBea

C's greyed. Back to the kitchen.

12:11 pm

hurshy

this one lady who died, i can't tell for sure but it sounds like maybe if she had stayed in her house she might not have died, but she went to look at the damage on a smaller cottage on her property, closer to the creek. it's sad to think if she had just not done that maybe she would have been ok.

12:15 pm

hurshy

it really makes you think how small we actually are in the face of massive movements of water, landslides, things like that

12:15 pm

hurshy

just these tiny specks moving about on the surface of the earth

12:42 pm

hurshy
