Scrabbler

Hi IG. I have been lurking.

6:22 am

ItalianGreyhound

Hi, Scrab - hows it going

6:24 am

Scrabbler

The ap- words remind me of work. A category of summer viruses = Enterovirus. The Coxsackie virus causes aphthous ulcers in the mouth.

6:24 am

ItalianGreyhound

knew you would know that :)

6:25 am

ItalianGreyhound

The ER 8-9 (with the 5 cons in a row) might be tougher, altho medical i think

6:25 am

Scrabbler

But I have never used the er8 and 9 words.

6:26 am

Scrabbler

moolingwa

We've had some interesting fire starters recently...a drone from CU crashed and started a grass fire, more recently, a light aircraft crash

12:44 pm

cybernan

those things are sometimes unavoidable -- but people who toss stuff out of their car windows make me sick, no matter what kind of litter it is, but especially when it is a possible fire accelerant

12:45 pm

penquis

agreed....can anyone clue the ap 6?...

12:45 pm

MollyL

Not too many glass bottles around here anymore
