9:30 am

hurshy

yeah

9:31 am

hokie carla

just one T away from graying last col

9:31 am

hurshy

oh i am one L away

9:32 am

hurshy

i think my last T from there was like a tr plural i had missed or something

9:32 am

hokie carla

just grayed the L but I think it was a set so that doesn't help

9:34 am

hurshy

well i have a set of five

9:34 am

hurshy

and then a set of six, interrupted by two other pairs amidst them

9:34 am

MollyL

All the endings on all the words would equal a lot more than 401 words

9:34 am

hurshy

and then a last little four as a caboose

9:35 am

hokie carla

well, some take and some done, molly ;)

9:35 am

9:41 am

hokie carla

5 to start

9:42 am

hokie carla

set of 4 with 6 sandwiched in

9:43 am

hokie carla

then one you might work at the gym

9:43 am

hurshy

i don't get how you're saying set of 4 with 6 sandwiched in, i said it was set of six with 2 pairs sandwiched in, we must be looking at it opposite ways lol

9:44 am

hurshy

6 words related to "not early", right? and one of them, the pt 7, comes from the bottom

9:44 am

hokie carla

well, I consider not be on time 4, 5, 5, 6 but

9:45 am

BzznBea

Does it really matter??

9:46 am

hokie carla

well she's trying to find a missing one

9:46 am

hurshy

yes, because how else is she going to figure out which L i am missing

9:46 am

BzznBea

You two are too loud.

9:47 am

hokie carla

3 sets sandwiched in those 4. I don't think I have the pt7 you are talking about from the bottom so I didn't include that.

9:47 am

hokie carla

sorry, bea

9:47 am

hurshy

well then maybe i need one of the ones you do think is a not early word

9:48 am

hurshy

but just pluralizing it did not work

9:48 am

hurshy

aHA, but i can pt it! thanks

9:48 am

hokie carla

I said I was counting 4 as not early and you said 6!

9:49 am

hurshy

9:49 am

hokie carla

11:01 am

hurshy

i tried re+ co4 as in add another co4 of paint, because that makes sense as a word, but it didn't go. now i find that the black co4 you burn DOES work with re, though

11:02 am

hurshy

which does NOT make a whole lot of sense to me

11:02 am

hokie carla

I have long quit trying to make sense of enables re-, non-, etc words

11:02 am

hokie carla

ooh, found my last i
