6:43 am

jmcnrick

hi all

6:44 am

aslindy

hello

6:51 am

hurshy

i think a go4 should be able to be the go4iest go4 of all

7:07 am

jmcnrick

I do know some go4s that are go4ier than others

7:08 am

hurshy

and my fritz is the go4iest cat i have ever met

7:08 am

jmcnrick

but I also think that someone wearing a tux is tuxed

7:11 am

hurshy

sure sure

7:11 am

hurshy

i can see that

7:19 am

sukee

Good morning

7:20 am

7:53 am

LuvWordGames

phantom: idiot

7:54 am

MollyL

I wonder when Lickety will be back. I don't remember him ever being down this long.

7:56 am

hurshy

but we heard it's just a technical problem, right? he is ok?

7:57 am

MollyL

Yeah, but I would think a technical problem would be fixed by now.

7:58 am

hurshy

unless the people who run the server are out sick with covid or something

7:58 am

hurshy

or maybe lickety just has other priorities

7:59 am

mael

he might need a whole new computer/setup too, depending on what fried in the storm

7:59 am

MollyL

Anything is possible. Frankly, I am surprised he has maintained the list program for this long. He doesn't make any money off of it.

8:00 am

hurshy

well it just runs itself as long as nothing goes wrong

8:00 am

hurshy

i think

8:00 am

MollyL

No, he has to tweak it once in a while. Like when there is an extra word.

8:00 am

hurshy

ah

8:01 am

MollyL

And any computer process you run, you have to check on a regular basis for coding updates, etc.

8:01 am

hurshy

yeah

8:06 am

hurshy

just one rh, or more?

8:06 am

MollyL

Ahahaha, I can't even read the news story about Kanye West being arrested for battery because I'm too busy laughing about him changing his name to Ye.

8:07 am

hurshy

it's hard saying two syllables i guess lol

8:07 am

MollyL

One rh

8:07 am

hurshy

thanks

8:08 am

BzznBea

HOw about Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly getting engaged and drinking each others blood.

BzznBea

Good morning, friends.

8:08 am

hurshy

ew

8:08 am

BzznBea

I know, right?

8:09 am

MollyL

Didn't Billy Bob and Angelina used to wear vials of each other's blood around their necks?

8:10 am

BzznBea

Yes.

8:11 am

MollyL

Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly are two ghoulish looking people

8:12 am

BzznBea

Indeed.

8:13 am

BzznBea

There is only one A in the grid, correct?

8:19 am

Shirlockc

8:52 am

hokie carla

I think there are some other instances like that - eden is a proper noun and edenic is an adj

8:54 am

zoozzoom

I am always surprised when awol is allowed.

8:55 am

hokie carla

same as scuba, but there are a ton of acronyms in regular usage that aren't allowed

8:55 am

zoozzoom

Exactly.

8:55 am

MollyL

Woo hoo! My company just decided to start honoring MLK Day. I'm off Monday!

8:56 am

zoozzoom

Enjoy your day off!

8:56 am

bichon

It's a national holiday

8:57 am

hokie carla

8:57 am

MollyL

Most small companies do not recognize it

8:58 am

BzznBea

Interesting that we have es8 and ut7 in the same grid.

8:59 am

hokie carla

8:59 am

hokie carla

hokie carla

zooz, here's a youtube clip from the TV show black-ish with the Roots singing a song. this is where I first learned about juneteenth. https://tinyurl.com/bdffuruz

9:04 am

zoozzoom

Thank you, Molly & Carla.

9:04 am

zoozzoom

Will take a look, Carla. thank you.

9:07 am

hokie carla

I wonder why the alt sp of do4 cannot be made into one who

9:08 am

zoozzoom

Trust Texas waiting an extra two months so they can get an extra harvest.

9:08 am

zoozzoom

Might be a strange question but what do people do on juneteenth?

9:09 am

hokie carla

I think like cookouts and stuff, but I really don't know

9:10 am

hokie carla

get-togethers (in case y'all call cookouts something else)

9:11 am

bichon

I don't know either, but it's now a Federal holiday

9:11 am

zoozzoom

Sounds like another question for google then.

9:11 am

zoozzoom

Nah I got that, Carla :)

9:11 am

MollyL

Google says people celebrate with picnics, rodeos, street fairs, cookouts, family reunions, park parties, historical reenactments, blues festivals and Miss Juneteenth contests.

9:12 am

zoozzoom

I was thinking on the lines of a blues party too so at least I got that bit correct in my thoughts!

9:13 am

MollyL

Now we are going to get all tangled up in the "is it a barbecue or a cookout" thing.

9:13 am

bichon

It celebrated freedom of the slaves

9:13 am

MollyL

I imagine some people go to church on that day.

9:13 am

hokie carla

well, where I'm from barbecue is barbecue and a grill is a grill and a cookout is a cookout

9:14 am

JaxH66

What's a cookout?

9:14 am

hokie carla

a get-together with family and friends where you make burgers on a grill and everyone brings a side dish.

9:14 am

MollyL

Where I am from barbecue is food, a grill is what you cook on and a cookout is when you cook food outdoors.

9:15 am

JaxH66

thnaks

9:15 am

hokie carla

same page then, molly

9:15 am

MollyL

What do you Brits call them? Or don't you do that?

9:15 am

hokie carla

and I've just realized in the last year what we call a yard, the brits call a garden.

9:16 am

hokie carla

phantom dugout

9:16 am

MollyL

This is why I have trouble reading books by Brit authors. The terminology eludes me.

9:16 am

JaxH66

We don't really have a name for them. A yard in the UK would be a small area that is generally paved with no grass etc

9:16 am

zoozzoom

Not really. We have picnics or some people would have a street party to celebrate Queens jubilee.

9:17 am

MollyL

So you all don't have outdoor grills that you cook on?

9:17 am

JaxH66

It works both ways. I have no idea what words mean so many times when clues are given.

9:17 am

hokie carla

it is fascinating how it's the same language but not

9:17 am

JaxH66

Not really. Our summers tend to be unreliable for weather. We've got a barbeque and that's about it

9:18 am

hokie carla

so, when you say we've got a barbecue, you are talking about a grill?

9:18 am

zoozzoom

Yes we do not say yard sale we would say garden sale or if a lot of people are selling things in a designated area we would call it a carboot sale.

9:18 am

MollyL

What is a barbecue if not a grill. Is it made by Weber? Does it run on propane or charcoal?

9:18 am

hokie carla

lol, carboot sale. I'm going to start using that.

9:19 am

JaxH66

So many words are different between USA and UK

9:19 am

MollyL

The carboot thing totally blew me away. I thought people were selling tires.

9:19 am

hokie carla

well I guess it would be a trunk sale here

9:19 am

JaxH66

It's the different terminology Molly. We call them BBQ's not grills, but yes it will be the same thing

9:20 am

MollyL

I wish I had a picture of the look on my face when a Canadian asked me for a serviette.

9:20 am

hokie carla

there's a big section of US that calls them barbecues too, just not where molly & I are

9:20 am

JaxH66

A trunk to me is a huge box with locks for storing things in, like travellers would have used in the 18th Century

9:20 am

hokie carla

is that a napkin?

9:21 am

zoozzoom

Depends, Carla we can buy a little foil tray with a charcoal burner at the bottom and cook food on the beach and call it a bar-b-que. Or you could buy a big grill and cook sausages burgers etc and invite people round for a bar-b-que.

9:21 am

MollyL

A serviette is a napkin.

9:21 am

zoozzoom

Sorry chat is going too fast I am lagging behind lol

9:21 am

hokie carla

ok, zooz. that sounds like a cookout

9:21 am

hokie carla

or a picnic

9:21 am

MollyL

But how does the back of a car become a "boot"?

9:22 am

hokie carla

hurshy's gonna be sad she missed this

9:22 am

zoozzoom

Because we dd not call it a trunk we call it the boot lol

9:23 am

hokie carla

so somewhere back in the beginning of cars we used trunk and y'all used boot.

9:23 am

JaxH66

We're talking the same language, but it's an entirely different language at times

9:23 am

hokie carla

I'm going to guess that trunk started here because people would strap trunks on the back for travel.

9:23 am

MollyL

Okay, Google says it goes back to the 18th century (way to keep up with modern times) when horse-drawn carriages had the coachman sitting on a chest, which was used to store, among other things, his boots

9:23 am

hokie carla

I know, jax...mind blowing!

9:24 am

zoozzoom

Yes a serviette is a napkin. although most seviettes are made out of paper.

9:24 am

MollyL

So if it is made out of cloth it's a napkin?

9:24 am

JaxH66

Molly I'd just googled it as well!

9:24 am

zoozzoom

And a lot of napkins are made of cloth.

9:25 am

hokie carla

and then did nappy come from they used to use cloth napkins for diapers?

9:25 am

zoozzoom

You are thinking way quicker than I can type, Molly haha!

9:26 am

zoozzoom

Babies nappies when I was growing up were made of material like a towel and had to be boiled washed.

9:26 am

MollyL

*Silently thanks God for Pampers

9:27 am

hokie carla

google says it's short for baby napkin

9:28 am

JaxH66

Diapers are named after a linen with small diamond shapes. Nappies is short for napkin.

9:28 am

MollyL

The jumper thing throws me too. Here a jumper is a kind of sleeveless dress. To y'all it is a coat.

9:28 am

zoozzoom

Google was not around in the sixties and my mother used nappies that were made out of a towel like material not a napkin which is made out of a linen type material.

9:29 am

hokie carla

I thought a jumper was a sweater there

9:29 am

zoozzoom

It is, Carla.

9:29 am

zoozzoom

A coat is well a coat lol

9:29 am

MollyL

I told you it threw me

9:30 am

zoozzoom

Haha!

9:30 am

hokie carla

lol

9:30 am

JaxH66

Was going to post a link to nappy vs diaper on google but thought I'd break the chat!

9:30 am

hokie carla

and a "smart coat" is not what you think either, molly

9:30 am

MollyL

Do you have sweaters and jumpers?

9:31 am

JaxH66

Jumper isn't a coat. it's a sweater.

9:31 am

MollyL

Look, I totally gave up on Brit speak when I found out what they think fanny means. If I ever go there, I am going to pretend to be mute.

9:31 am

rururocks

a jumper here is someone who throws themself off the golden gate bridge

9:31 am

mael

think of me, I grew up speaking british english and then I moved to the US where everyone wore fanny packs

9:32 am

JaxH66

We have sweatshirts, generally use the term jumper, but sweater isn't an uncommon name

9:32 am

hokie carla

*ru has entered the chat

9:32 am

zoozzoom

If you put terry nappies in google images you will see the material I was talking about.

9:32 am

JaxH66

Mael - I dread to think, what is a fanny pack?!!

9:33 am

hokie carla

I already pictured terry cloth from your description

9:33 am

hokie carla

you all call it a bum bag, jax

9:33 am

zoozzoom

Oh that is so funny, Mael! hahaha!

9:33 am

zoozzoom

It is a bag you have in front to put your money and things in, Jax.

9:34 am

hokie carla

goes around your waist, zippered pouch, big in the 80s. I saw a movie where they called it bum bag and my friend and I thought that was hysterical.

9:35 am

zoozzoom

My sisters son who was about 12 at the time was embarrassed when he heard my sister (his mother) I am going to nuy a fanny bag today.

9:35 am

zoozzoom

buy*

9:36 am

hokie carla

it is odd that it's called fanny pack or bum bag because I don't know anyone that wore it on their butt, it's always in front

9:36 am

zoozzoom

Until she explained to him what it was of course.

9:37 am

hokie carla

ok, somehow I have more 8s than 7s

9:38 am

zoozzoom

Nice, Carra!

9:39 am

rururocks

name the famous actor in the grid

9:39 am

zoozzoom

Carla* stupid chatpad I am using.

9:39 am

zoozzoom

doeth

9:39 am

zoozzoom

9:39 am

hokie carla

9:39 am

hokie carla

JaxH66

JaxH66

Thanks got them both now

9:55 am

zoozzoom

Glad you got them, Jax!

9:56 am

hokie carla

just need 1 O on the middle row for HOET. can't see how there are 7 more Os there

9:57 am

zoozzoom

I have 5 also.

9:57 am

hokie carla

hmmm

9:58 am

rururocks

that's funny i have five too

9:58 am

zoozzoom

Just got a PT of the express train type word.

9:58 am

hokie carla

that is funny because I expected you to say it was gray and they were all easy. 😜

9:58 am

BzznBea

Was I missed?

9:58 am

hokie carla

yes, bea. the vowels are killing me!

9:59 am

zoozzoom

So that made it OR8 from that tile.

9:59 am

Shirlockc

i wonder if we all have the same 5 -- hmm, i stand corrected, i have 8 Os

9:59 am

BzznBea

I'm having problems as well

9:59 am

zoozzoom

I have 6 now.

9:59 am

hokie carla

I have 1 OD and 4 OR, incl the big one. so zooz and shirl have found others

10:00 am

hokie carla

jmcnrick

oa 5/10

10:03 am

hokie carla

zooz, can I have a clue for that first OR6/7? P&TY

10:03 am

BzznBea

oa5

10:04 am

hokie carla

are you sure that's not the upper O?

10:04 am

zoozzoom

O colour but with a vowel in it then a vowel then plural.

10:05 am

BzznBea

You are right it is the upper.

10:05 am

hokie carla

thanks, I was trying all around there. knew there was something

10:05 am

hokie carla

HOET!

10:05 am

zoozzoom

I will stop looking for it then, Bea LOL

10:05 am

BzznBea

I found oe7 and 8 from middle O

10:05 am

hokie carla

but you cannot have OA6 and 7 no matter how many times I try it

10:06 am

hokie carla

ok, found oe7, thanks bea

10:07 am

hokie carla

but you can't make it oe9. oh, these crazy brits. 😜

10:07 am

zoozzoom

I can only think of oersted lol

10:08 am

hokie carla

o + e6

10:08 am

hokie carla

but I can't find the 8

10:10 am

BzznBea

Ends like Pres. Reagan.

10:10 am

zoozzoom

aAh got them tha nks. 8 ends in a number.

10:10 am

BzznBea

10:10 am

zoozzoom

oopps sorry Bea did not see your post.

10:11 am

hokie carla

10:11 am

zoozzoom

LOL

10:11 am

rururocks

Now I know why I'm feeling hormonal

10:11 am

hokie carla

10:12 am

hokie carla

yes, today's theme is women, ru. we've got the OE, ES, UT, TI

10:13 am

zoozzoom

I am still missing one from the tile.

10:13 am

hokie carla

10:13 am

zoozzoom

Nope got them all now!

10:14 am

hokie carla

outstanding

10:14 am

zoozzoom

There is two almost identical to the OR 6 & 7 I clued to you eearlier, Carla.

10:15 am

zoozzoom

I am surprised I get any words with the amount of typos I make lol

10:15 am

hokie carla

same stats?

10:15 am

zoozzoom

Yes same stats.

10:16 am

rururocks

thanks zoo

10:16 am

zoozzoom

I can give another nudge if needed.

10:17 am

hokie carla

yeah, you'd think almost identical would help, but not getting it

10:17 am

zoozzoom

Change third letter.

10:17 am

rururocks

think arnold's favorite pills hokie

10:18 am

hokie carla

aha, thx

10:19 am

hokie carla

10:20 am

mkg

Any stats and clues for top row U words> ty

10:20 am

10:21 am

hokie carla

today's theme is women, mkg. UT5 and UT7

10:21 am

zoozzoom

Has MLF stopped playing now?

10:21 am

mkg

Ty got both words. Ty

10:22 am

hokie carla

no one's seen her since sept or so, so we are all worried

10:22 am

rururocks

i think so zooz.. i hope she's ok

10:22 am

rururocks

I wrote to meatloaf to reach out to her

10:23 am

zoozzoom

Yes I hope she is okay too.

10:23 am

MollyL

Guys, I am sure she is okay. Stop being Aunt Mary.

10:24 am

mkg

Boy am i stumped with those o clues.

10:24 am

BzznBea

I think she is in the freezer.

10:24 am

mkg

Ouch.

10:24 am

zoozzoom

No. I will worry about a fellow babbler if I want to.

10:24 am

hokie carla

I am the worrier

10:24 am

MollyL

The O clues went right over my head.

10:25 am

MollyL

Why not hope everything is okay instead of worry is all I am saying. It is a much more positive vibe.

10:25 am

zoozzoom

I also worry about Gapeach too as I have not seen her here for a while either.

10:26 am

MollyL

In the freezer Bea? What? Does she live in Rome, Wisonsin?

10:26 am

hokie carla

because you can't just tell people to not worry, that's not how mental issues work (I'm saying I have mental issues)

10:26 am

hokie carla

yeah, that was ominous, bea

10:26 am

mkg

Maybe on vacation on some great amazing trip

10:26 am

MollyL

Wisconsin

10:26 am

hokie carla

maybe not ominous, but dark

10:27 am

BzznBea

Too much true crime

10:27 am

zoozzoom

I do too, Carla.

10:27 am

hokie carla

yep

10:27 am

rururocks

she could just have a full life you know

10:27 am

MollyL

And I am saying that you either choose to worry or take some other positive thought process

10:27 am

zoozzoom

Oh you mean actuqally in a freezer! OMG, Bea!

10:27 am

hokie carla

thank you, pollyanna

10:27 am

MollyL

See, no one but Ru thought of the full life thing. That is because he is leading a very full life right now.

10:27 am

zoozzoom

LOL

10:28 am

zoozzoom

And still here too.

10:28 am

MollyL

I'm not a Pollyana. I just try to choose positive over negative thought processes.

10:29 am

MollyL

You mean you can lead a full life and still play Babble?
WOW!

10:29 am

BzznBea

She does have health issues.

10:29 am

rururocks

speaking of.. i gotta get to work.. but thankfully it's a short day

10:29 am

hokie carla

finally found a 9!

10:29 am

hokie carla

have a good one, ru

10:29 am

zoozzoom

Enjoy your day, Ru!

10:29 am

rururocks

(hopes Bea doesn't get an extra large freezer for her birthday)

10:30 am

MollyL

Yes Ru, I hope it's full.

10:30 am

BzznBea

I got a trip to the beach for my birthday.

10:30 am

zoozzoom

Would not nneed one for my skinny body, Ruru!

10:30 am

rururocks

:D thanks molly

10:30 am

rururocks

I wish I was skinny zooz

10:31 am

hokie carla

she definitely has health issues and her husband is her caregiver, so that is why I've worried

10:31 am

rururocks

you can have lots of my pounds

10:31 am

MollyL

Wow, trips to the beach, an hour in an isolation tank. Mr. Bea gives good gift.

10:31 am

zoozzoom

I have full days to you know. Mostly full of sh*t but it is still a full day.

10:32 am

MollyL

I have never gotten a trip for my birthday. I would feel like the winner on a game show.

10:32 am

rururocks

have fun everyone.. later

10:32 am

zoozzoom

Bye, Ruuru!

10:33 am

BzznBea

Mr. Bea didn't give me the beach trip. My girlfriends are coming out and we are going to the beach for four days. I told him that would be my birthday this year.

10:33 am

zoozzoom

I have a trip to the beach everyday here. Would be hard for me not to living so close to it lol

10:33 am

hokie carla

showoff

10:35 am

hokie carla

still have 17 d's left! should I just start adding DE to all the other words i have?

10:35 am

zoozzoom

It is a shame as you tend not to appreciate as much as if you did not live next to the beach. Although it is never that warm here to full appreciate it anyway. Some days Like today I did as It was sunny and not too cold.

10:35 am

MollyL

So wait, you are changing when your birthday is?

10:36 am

BzznBea

No.

10:36 am

zoozzoom

Maybe, Bea, is going to have two Birthdays like our Queen here!

10:36 am

MollyL

And by the way, I know most of you won't understand this, but sometimes people just get tired of games and stop playing them.

10:36 am

hokie carla

oh, we've got a literal-ist

10:37 am

hokie carla

I agree, molly, but I got the impression this was kinda mlfan's link to the outside world. not saying that in a bad way.

10:37 am

BzznBea

But I don't see that as mfl.

10:38 am

BzznBea

Carla, I have 38 D's left.

10:38 am

zoozzoom

Well that is a bit rude to suggest most of us here are not going to understand that people get tirred of this and other games, Molyy.

10:38 am

MollyL

Okay, I will change my tune. Please worry about her. Worry real hard and assume the very worst.

10:38 am

hokie carla

16 now, but moving on

10:38 am

BzznBea

Thanks, we will. =)

10:39 am

hokie carla

until she shows up here I will

10:39 am

BzznBea

And I have 67 T's left...

10:39 am

MollyL

Hey, you are the one that came up with the freezer thing. No one thought that about you when you disappeared,.

10:40 am

hokie carla

bea disappeared?

10:40 am

zoozzoom

Not assuming the worst at all. All I was asking was if she was okay and I hope she is still well. Please calm down a bit.

10:40 am

BzznBea

They should have...

10:40 am

hokie carla

I did disappear for many years and no one noticed or remembered me when I came back

10:40 am

hurshy

i disappeared for a long time once, to avoid babble rabble... i was still playing but i made up a false name on a new account and didn't chat much

10:40 am

MollyL

Remember when she was gone for weeks and we were asking where she was and it turned out she had computer issues.

10:41 am

hokie carla

oh yeah, I do remember that

10:41 am

MollyL

Zoom, I am joking, I don't need to calm down.

10:41 am

BzznBea

Was it weeks?

10:41 am

hokie carla

I think it was maybe a couple of weeks

10:42 am

MollyL

Hurshy, I think someone else is doing that same thing to avoid another player.

10:42 am

hokie carla

I did ask someone the other day if they were MLFAN

10:42 am

zoozzoom

I used to talk to you though on sudoku, Hurshy. Not often but still.

10:42 am

hurshy

i don't play sudoku anymore because i like kenken so much better

10:43 am

hokie carla

I very rarely go to iron sudoku anymore

10:43 am

zoozzoom

Must5 admit I have not played iot for quite sometime myself.

10:43 am

hokie carla

I find the "start" "done" posts annoying

10:43 am

hurshy

it's weird, i feel that with kenken it's only fun if it's challenging, whereas with sudoku i only find it fun if it's easy

10:44 am

hokie carla

BTW - I failed at wordle today. had 3 letters in the correct spot for 4 turns. just too many options

10:44 am

BzznBea

What is kenken?

10:44 am

hokie carla

I like kenken a lot too.

10:44 am

hokie carla

it's like math sudoku

10:44 am

zoozzoom

Some of the hard ones would take me many hours to do lol

10:45 am

hurshy

it's like sudoku in terms of using 1 number in each row and column, but then instead of the blocks, it has outlined areas where the numbers make a math problem.

10:45 am

BzznBea

I haven't been to wordle today.

10:45 am

zoozzoom

I am not an expert at sudoku.

10:45 am

hurshy

BzznBea

Okay. I do those in puzzle books.

10:45 am

hurshy

it's' great to use in math classrooms because you can do it from super small simple addition up to expert 9x9

10:46 am

hurshy

so any kid from K-12 can find an appropriate level of challenge

10:47 am

hurshy

if you've played killer sudoku, that's more like kenken, but killer sudoku only has adding, whereas kenken you can do all 4 arithmetic operations

10:48 am

hurshy

and in killer sudoku you can only use each number once per math problem, but in kenken you can use it more than once if it is not in the same row or column

10:48 am

hurshy

hurshy

yeah that's a mystery

11:09 am

hurshy

hokie - when you have a lot of the right letters sometimes it's best to try a word without them, with all different letters, to have a better chance of finding out what else to fill in, on wordle

11:51 am

cybernan

gm all :)

11:51 am

11:52 am

mael

I had a 6/7, not an 8

11:52 am

mael

hmm

11:52 am

mael

oh wait, no, I had a 7 8

11:52 am

mael

I can't count, blame covid

11:52 am

mab

is it oestrich?

11:52 am

hurshy

i only have the 7, no other oe

11:53 am

penquis

found it....they are similar....like the es 6/7....

11:53 am

justafreep

the 8 is related as words go, nan

11:54 am

justafreep

not a plural or obvious like that. Yeah. What Pen said

11:54 am

hurshy

phew, got them at last

12:00 pm

cybernan

ty pen

12:01 pm

mab

oh for heaven's sake

12:01 pm

hurshy

i have a good idea for a clue for it

12:02 pm

periwinkle

in8/9 pls

12:02 pm

mab

great grid but too stupid for it. got the oe words though.

12:03 pm

cybernan

have the 8: money earned from an investment or what you pay on a loan

12:03 pm

hurshy

if you lace or weave things together you in8 them, then pl for 9

12:03 pm

cybernan

ah - different in 8

12:05 pm

periwinkle

ty hursh

12:05 pm

cybernan

no idea what though as we cant intwine or interlace or interweave

12:06 pm

LuvWordGames

what you do with shoe laces

12:06 pm

cybernan

ty luv

12:06 pm

cybernan

don't think I've ever used that word

12:07 pm

mab

is it macrame?

12:07 pm

cybernan

something to do with woodworking or construction maybe?

12:08 pm

cybernan

macrame is a mess of knots :)

12:08 pm

cybernan

and when you hang a potted plant in it, it becomes a dust collector

12:08 pm

cybernan

*apologies to macrame lovers

12:09 pm

hurshy

it's a compound word, kind of redundant if you ask me

12:10 pm

LuvWordGames

you can plural the in 8 but not pt it

12:10 pm

mab

oh there it is.

12:10 pm

hurshy

so i guess it's a noun

12:11 pm

cybernan

ntpn - my favourite satirist

12:11 pm

Jen34

Thank you, Hurshy; the reference to redundancy was helpful!

12:12 pm

hurshy

cybernan

one who sucks up isn't a to 7?

12:21 pm

penquis

like someone who urges someone on is not a go 6?... ;o)

12:21 pm

MollyL

I think it is spelled with a Y

12:24 pm

hokie carla

I have tried that go6 more than once already

12:26 pm

hokie carla

also pen, you can be a do5 but not the alt sp do6

12:30 pm

cybernan

yay - djokovic's visa has been revoked again :D

12:30 pm

penquis

exactly, carla....

12:30 pm

hokie carla

haven't they started the tournament? did he play first round?

12:31 pm

cybernan

off to get some breakfast on that bright spot in the news -- so nice to know there are still some responsible people left in politics

12:31 pm

penquis

starts SUnday, i think...

12:33 pm

hokie carla

I thought when I was looking at a guide on one of my streaming things the other day they were showing a lot of matches

12:34 pm

penquis

you may have seen qualifying rounds....the big pros don't play in those...

12:34 pm

hokie carla

the AO is the one I watch the least of, just because of the time difference

12:35 pm

penquis

starts Sunday at 7 p.m. on ESPN...

12:35 pm

hokie carla

so pen, just out of curiosity, what is your rating?

12:36 pm

penquis

i am a 3.0....have played on 6.0 mixed as well, but haven't played USTA since 2019....

12:36 pm

cybernan

I don't even watch tennis -- I just don't think that anyone should be given special privileges when it comes to covid rules and mandates.

12:36 pm

penquis

agreed....

12:37 pm

hokie carla

yeah, I was a 3.5 last time I had a rating but haven't played USTA in years, so I think I would self-rate as 3.0 if I did.

12:38 pm

penquis

i play weekly with 3.0 and 3.5 players....men and women....

12:42 pm

hokie carla

haven't played mixed in forever

12:44 pm

hokie carla

I really did clinics only after my shoulder surgery and then our pro left so I have only hit tennis balls a couple of times in like 2 years. it's so hard to do after pickleball.

12:46 pm

penquis

yes, they are different sports....we have a guy transitioning to tennis from pickleball.....

12:47 pm

hokie carla

interesting, usually it's the other way around

12:47 pm

hokie carla

the tennis ball just bounces so much higher and faster, mr. homie and I felt like morons when we tried tennis right after pickleball. I can hit tennis before pickleball and it's okay.

12:48 pm

penquis

yes....i can understand that...

12:48 pm

cybernan

nooooo - just got notice of another windows update that is going to install the next time I turn my computer off.

12:49 pm

hokie carla

lol, nan. godspeed.

12:51 pm

mab

have friend with awful elbow issues but has pulled through. he and wife would be bereft if no tennis. 25 years they've played together. hoping his elbow stays well.

12:52 pm

hokie carla

that's tough, mab. I have had all 3 of the major elbow things, so I can relate.

12:53 pm

penquis

hope so...i was out six months with tendonitis in my forearm....dry needling, massage and ultrasound treatment got me through it....

12:54 pm

mab

oh so sorry. I don't play but can imagine if something i love were taken away.

12:54 pm

cybernan

safe - created a new restore point

12:54 pm

penquis

nice...

12:54 pm

hokie carla

good, nan

12:55 pm

cybernan

last time I got an update it screwed up my mail protocols

12:56 pm

mab

updates just maddening.

12:57 pm

cybernan

I suppose I should just give up and use the ms mail client which, no doubt, is what they want. But, darn it, they control everything else and I don't want them getting into my mail too

12:58 pm

mab

agree completely. i hang onto every strand of privacy i can.

1:05 pm

mab

private email, no voluntary exposure to google, lots of security apps... they know me through and through already (big tech), but still tracked, etc. neurotic about whole thing.

1:07 pm

mab

need legislation. too bad democracy and gov. as we know it imploding.

1:07 pm

hokie carla

well, I still have 66 left and not seeing any, so I think I will leave it for tonight.

1:07 pm

cybernan

it's the targeted pop-up ads that get me -- even with all the security I have in place, they still seem to know what I am shopping for

1:08 pm

cybernan

wd carla - 106 here and will probably list once I break 75

1:10 pm

mab

130. but will get them after supermarket outing.

1:11 pm

cybernan

did anyone watch the chaser last night? I think they are going to lose their audience if they keep giving the brainiacs easier questions than they give to the contestants

1:16 pm

Uneaixoise

I thought so too

1:48 pm

penquis

I think so, too....and they should have some kind of prize for making it to the chasing round....

1:48 pm

Uneaixoise

I agree, Pen

1:56 pm

cybernan

da 6/27 please?

1:56 pm

penquis

i am down to 31....ten of those are fours....guess i should work on those....

1:56 pm

penquis

i have da 6 as a plural of a four....

1:57 pm

cybernan

that was it - ty pen

1:57 pm

cybernan

and good idea at 1:48 - would make the game much better.

1:58 pm

penquis

they don't give away any money....i think I have only seen one team beat the experts....

1:58 pm

cybernan

either that or put the brainiacs in a sound proof booth, then give them the same questions

1:59 pm

penquis

yes, I thought of that, too....i think they would see that as boring for the audience....

2:00 pm

cybernan

not as boring as watching people lose their winnings night after night

2:00 pm

penquis

true, as least for me...

2:04 pm

NANCY

I watched it only a couple of times but was not amused by the experts constantly making snide remarks about the contestants and making themselves so much better.

2:04 pm

NANCY

seem so much better. dont like put downs

2:05 pm

cybernan

I think that is just a bit of fun poked at themselves, nancy

2:06 pm

NANCY

well guess that is not my type of humor. they come off as pompous asses.

2:06 pm

NANCY

so many good shows that i can watch other than that

2:08 pm

NANCY

like This Is Us which I am aready

2:08 pm

NANCY

lamenting that this is the final season.

2:13 pm

BzznBea

Finally made it through the D's..

2:14 pm

penquis

6 of my 23 missing words are Ds....

2:16 pm

cybernan

2:16 pm

penquis

well there are two spellings of the thyroid thing...

2:17 pm

penquis

and pl...

2:17 pm

BzznBea

I think it is the Brit spelling of the condition

2:17 pm

NANCY

NAN, switch the last two letters

2:17 pm

cybernan

ty - looks odd spelled that way doesn't it

2:18 pm

penquis

yes...

2:19 pm

Someone said there was no lickety today. ……i will check

2:38 pm

2:39 pm

Uneaixoise

2:40 pm

2:40 pm

penquis

welcome to the club... ;o)

2:41 pm

penquis

that is what I am doing now...

2:41 pm

cybernan

ni 6/27

2:42 pm

penquis

don't have it yet...

2:42 pm

cybernan

if you shrink molly's profile page sideways so that the words are forming a column, you can bring the page on top of the game page and match up the words in your list

2:43 pm

MollyL

Excellent suggestion Nan

2:43 pm

penquis

that is what i am doing....

2:44 pm

BzznBea

pen, do you need O's?

2:45 pm

penquis

no....found my last one a few minutes ago....

2:49 pm

penquis

2:52 pm

mkg

I can use it pen.

2:52 pm

mkg

Ok went to list. So i still need the two o’s from bottom o but have no idea which they are.

2:53 pm

2:53 pm

2:59 pm

Kamanjah

Someone (I don't remember who) has the link to the backup list in their profile. The page isn't working, but someone may be able to contact the person who made it and see if they can fix it.

3:00 pm

BzznBea

No one knows who that person is, Kam.

3:00 pm

Kamanjah

Darn!

3:00 pm

Smdnjv

Thank you Peri. I was afraid something bad had happened to him personally.

3:00 pm

cybernan

lickety's computer was fried during a bad storm - that is why the list is not updating

3:00 pm

penquis

is the es 7/28 related to the previous es words?...

3:01 pm

BzznBea

Molly has the list in her profile. Not easy, but workabale.

3:01 pm

cybernan

Thanks Nan! Has a "Go Fund Me" been set up for him? :)

3:05 pm

BzznBea

It is, jmc. I made the same comment this morning.

3:05 pm

jmcnrick

that was bo use hokie

3:06 pm

cybernan

one more time: click on molly's profile. click on the symbol that reduces the size of the page (square in top right corner). Drag the right edge of her profile page to the left so that the the page becomes a narrow column just showing the words. Grab the top of the profile page and drag it over to your word list and scroll up or down until the words match up. You can then see what you are missing.

3:06 pm

jmcnrick

great minds bzzn hahaha

3:06 pm
