BzznBea

Before you ask, Carla, the A is hard

9:10 am

hurshy

phantom: lotto

9:10 am

penquis

almost an acceptable word...

9:11 am

ChampFit

Yest...the 5/10

9:11 am

hokie carla

did you ever find that i where you were seeing issue? I wonder if it's iso- something

9:11 am

hurshy

i think i have the one you mean although it could be more than one thing

9:11 am

ChampFit

There is an is 7/28

9:11 am

hurshy

it is iso- something hokie, i found it

9:11 am

hurshy

is7/28

9:12 am

hurshy

phantom: tsetse

9:15 am

ChampFit

Pen...you can plural that lo to make a 7.

9:15 am

hurshy

and there's two spellings of it

9:15 am

penquis

ah...ty....

9:15 am

hokie carla

weird, thanks all

9:15 am

ChampFit

Very.

9:16 am

hurshy

how is that weird, it's a flower

9:16 am

ChampFit

Different 7

9:16 am

hokie carla

the one similar to lotteries is also a flower? the 5/10?

9:16 am

penquis

yes...

9:17 am

ChampFit

You're talking about the 7/32. I'm talking about the 7/28.

9:17 am

ChampFit

Yes.

9:17 am

hurshy

i think they're just alt sp of each other

9:17 am

hurshy

both the flower

9:17 am

hokie carla

I have 5/10 and 7/28 and 5/12 and 7/32

9:17 am

hokie carla

well, I think the one spelling is weird since I've never seen it

9:18 am

hurshy

tennyson spelt it the 5/10 way

9:19 am

hurshy

which of course i only know because it's in the little house books lol

9:23 am

hurshy

so far finding S the hardest

9:23 am

hokie carla

I got sucked into a harlan coben show on netflix last night

9:25 am

hurshy

which one

9:25 am

hokie carla

I will find you

9:25 am

hurshy

i haven't watched any of them because they look darker than i usually prefer my shows

9:25 am

rururocks

if they're darker aren't they harder to see

9:26 am

hurshy

that's a common complaint about modern tv and/or movies

9:26 am

hurshy

that they are literally darker and hard to see what's going on

9:26 am

hurshy

but i meant the metaphorical darkness in this case

9:27 am

hurshy

phantom: -ier

9:27 am

hokie carla

it's weird, the other coben ones are all british settings and actors, even though I know the author is american. but this one is set in US.

9:27 am

hurshy

oh well then why even bother

9:28 am

hokie carla

and yes, this one is about a murdered boy so very dark.

9:29 am

hokie carla

yeah, this upper S is a struggle. still need 6

9:29 am

hurshy

five for me

9:30 am

hokie carla

and I even got the french one I usually miss

9:30 am

rururocks

It was kind of an easy grid for me for once

9:30 am

hokie carla

for once??

9:30 am

hokie carla

you say every day it's easy

9:30 am

hurshy

did you get sm4/9 hokie?

9:31 am

hokie carla

yes, have that one

9:32 am

rururocks

I'm sitting here paying a ton of bills that came in while I was on vacation yikes

9:33 am

hokie carla

ok, finished all the E's

9:34 am

hurshy

rats, haven't found any 8s yet

9:34 am

hokie carla

9:34 am

penquis

9:35 am

rururocks

9:38 am

hurshy

9:38 am

hurshy

9:38 am

ChampFit

Wow...thank you! That's FW. Wouldn't have gotten that on my own.

9:38 am

hokie carla

congrats, champ

9:39 am

hokie carla

I keep thinking invent for the first part, which isn't there

9:39 am

ChampFit

Same!

9:39 am

ChampFit

Once you see a word a certain way, it's hard to get past.

9:39 am

rururocks

the companies that create products hokie

9:39 am

hurshy

i was thinking "make" lol

9:39 am

Shirlockc

wow, that in7 is a weird word

9:39 am

hokie carla

I also can't understand the 2nd half. moving on.

9:40 am

hurshy

maybe it'd be easier to say it rhymes with anda______, in southern spain

9:40 am

ChampFit

Hagd all!

9:40 am

hokie carla

you too!

9:41 am

hurshy

wow that was neat a bird just hovered in place outside my window for a few seconds

9:41 am

hokie carla

not a hummingbird?

9:41 am

hurshy

i don't think it was a hummingbird but i don't know what other birds can hover

9:41 am

hurshy

it was a bit large to be a hummingbird

9:42 am

hokie carla

that's the only kind I've seen hovering, but yeah, they're tiny

9:42 am

hurshy

who knows maybe it is some bird making a new evolutionary development!

9:42 am

hokie carla

well, found more upper s's while looking for the lower, so now it's my biggest problem

9:43 am

hurshy

i didn't except that so8

9:43 am

hokie carla

9:43 am

BzznBea
