5:53 am

aslindy

hello all

6:21 am

Scrabbler

I forgot to set my phone alarms so I overslept. I lost valuable Babble time.

6:21 am

aslindy

6:22 am

Scrabbler

But I got an extra hour of sleep.

6:23 am

aslindy

that's good, then

6:23 am

Scrabbler

How is your toe?

6:24 am

aslindy

still colorful, still hurts if I stand too much

6:24 am

Scrabbler

Po4 little piggy.

6:24 am

aslindy

only been a week

6:25 am

Scrabbler

You will feel much better in a week and then forget about in 3 weeks.

6:25 am

aslindy

how's the shoulder?

6:26 am

Scrabbler

Bad. I am having surgery on 2/14. My valentine is my orthopedic surgeon.

6:29 am

aslindy

I pray it all goes smoothly

6:30 am

Scrabbler

I expect it will, although post-op pain is my major concern.

6:31 am

aslindy

sure. it will take some time, but it will pass

6:32 am

Scrabbler

Yes.

6:32 am

Scrabbler

I must get to work. Enjoy the day.

10:43 am

phaeton

GWHIIM??

10:43 am

hurshy

Guess What Hurshy Is Missing

10:44 am

hurshy

10:45 am

hurshy

oh sorry, my finger must have hit the i key too hard

10:45 am

hurshy

it's just GWHIM

10:45 am

phaeton

hmmm...ka/18 and ke5/20?

10:47 am

phaeton

only 3 k6's

10:48 am

hurshy

scandinavian money? yeah

10:48 am

hurshy

10:48 am

phaeton

10:49 am

phaeton

3 kr5/18

10:49 am

penquis

you have the kr 6 then?....

10:49 am

hurshy

ok i got a ke6 that is a past tense, and i have the kr6 that is the plural money, so i'm missing whatever the other 6 is... and something else

10:50 am

phaeton

two kr6/30

10:51 am

hurshy

are they both related to the money

10:51 am

phaeton

yes...different ending

10:51 am

hurshy

aHA thanks got it

10:51 am

phaeton

yw

10:52 am

hurshy

now 1/3 of my remaining words are Rs

10:53 am

phaeton

the only weird one was referring to animal stomachs

10:54 am

MollyL

No Virginia, not all plural words end in S

10:54 am

hurshy

rennet? not here

10:55 am

hurshy

oh no i see what you mean

10:55 am

phaeton

ru5/14

10:55 am

hurshy

i have the top Rs

10:55 am

hurshy

it's the fourth row where i am lacking

10:55 am

phaeton

didn't say it ends with an S

10:55 am

hurshy

and i swear i thought of so many at once that there was one that i thought of that i didn't actually get to put in

10:56 am

MollyL

Yes, but many people assume that plural words end in S

10:56 am

hurshy

and i can't figure out what it might be, or if i'm just delusional

10:56 am

phaeton

they can assume whatever they want.

10:56 am

hurshy

one doesn't assume that when there's no S in the grid though, lol

10:56 am

phaeton

2 ru5's

10:57 am

phaeton

hurshy...hope you figure out what you're missing. GL
