12:19 pm

hokie carla

we just had our clay courts resurfaced over the last week. I saw the courts at 9 last night when I drove by and they were drenched, not sure if they watered them late or what. mr. homie said it didn't rain.

12:23 pm

hokie carla

I might've told you this already...we have a special event this sat - woods & whites, where you wear all white and use wood racquets. I have 4 and they probably all have original strings. I'm sure my elbow is about to be trashed. they are very heavy.

12:27 pm

moolingwa

that does sound rough :)

12:28 pm

hokie carla

the heads are tiny too

12:28 pm

moolingwa

those tiny heads...

12:28 pm

hokie carla

lol, are you trying to somehow draw ruru out?

12:29 pm

moolingwa

I don't think you need me to draw him out...

12:30 pm

hokie carla

still need 7H and 6 upper A. everything else is <=4

12:30 pm

moolingwa

I need 6 S, R, T, H and 7 S

12:31 pm

moolingwa

I've been just going after my biggest remaining tiles

12:32 pm

hokie carla

moolingwa

12:34 pm

penquis

Sorry, got distracted....our courts are supposed to be resurfaced soon, too....your woods and whites sound fun, but i don't envy you playing with your wooden racket...i still have my old Chris Evert wooden racket somewhere....

12:36 pm

moolingwa

5OFOET

12:37 pm

hokie carla

one of mine is a chris evert. it's the newest one I have, bought it a few years ago at an estate sale. the other 3 I have were my dad's.

12:37 pm

penquis

Trifioso

12:48 pm

moolingwa

I had never heard of her...seems like that's a story that should have been told more prominently

12:48 pm

Trifioso

oh how sad! two horrible things in her life!

12:48 pm

Trifioso

she really was a tremendous player

12:49 pm

moolingwa

and to think she did all that by the time she was 20

12:49 pm

Trifioso

it is really remarkable

12:51 pm

penquis

Imagine how many slams she would have won if she had continued playing….

12:51 pm

moolingwa

Or whatever else she might have done, had she lived longer

12:52 pm

penquis

True…

12:54 pm

hokie carla

how does someone hit a horse with their truck?

12:57 pm

moolingwa

probably texting and driving

12:58 pm

BzznBea

lol

12:59 pm

penquis

There was a documentary about Maureen but it doesn’t seem to be available to stream….

1:00 pm

hokie carla

hokie carla

but I never "get" moo's clues until I get the word

1:13 pm

1:18 pm

hokie carla

1:18 pm

moolingwa

1:18 pm

BzznBea

3:59 pm

hokie carla

oh, and there's the iffy pasta policy again from enable

4:00 pm

hurshy

*tries to look like she knows what that means*

4:00 pm

hokie carla

I hate it when there's a tile like the R with 32 words and I have 31 all day and my missing one was a 4.

4:01 pm

hurshy

i've got 31 also! wonder if i have missed the same 4

4:02 pm

hokie carla

re4/5

4:02 pm

hokie carla

and then there's a word like the s6 that I miss every single time so now I know immediately when I see the list that it's there without even checking.

4:03 pm

hurshy

you mean the evening party?

4:04 pm

hokie carla

no, bristly

4:04 pm

hokie carla

and I just looked it up. had no idea.

4:26 pm

no genius here, just familiar with scientific terms, that's all

4:28 pm

hurshy

technically speaking, i think i may actually qualify as a genius, but, man, i sure do some dumb things

6:36 pm

penquis

Bye, harry…

6:36 pm

MollyL

Oh God, baby bunny killers

6:38 pm

penquis

Another story….we had a pet bunny named Twitchy when I as a kid….he escaped and the whole neighborhood was looking for him…. Our oversized German shepherd (the sweetest dog) found him for us….unfortunately he brought him to us in his mouth…..that was the end of Twitchy….

6:40 pm

MollyL

Yeah, sweet dog

6:40 pm

penquis

he was....very wise dog....great with all kids....

6:41 pm

MollyL

But not baby animals

6:42 pm

penquis

i think he thought he was helping us....i believe the bunny died of fright...

6:44 pm

MollyL

Seriously, he showed up with the baby bunny in his mouth and it died of fright?

6:44 pm

penquis

it wasn't a baby bunny....

6:45 pm

penquis

he had no marks on him....

7:57 pm

nrkii

Our dog chased our escaped bunnies and they died of fright.

7:57 pm

nrkii

Apparently bunnies have heart attacks.

7:57 pm

penquis

makes sense then....

7:58 pm

hurshy

i mean, in general, animals that procreate copiously tend to be less tough than animals that don't

7:58 pm

hurshy

part of the whole evolutionary thing

7:58 pm

penquis

ah, ok...

7:59 pm

hurshy

evolution goes "if we don't make a lot of these things at a time, they're never going to make it as a species"

8:00 pm

hurshy

of course with panda bears they could do with a bit more copiousness

8:01 pm

hurshy

despite being bears

8:02 pm

hurshy

but like fish, man, they'll lay what, hundreds? thousands? of eggs? hence caviar

8:02 pm

penquis

anyone have the first an 6?

8:03 pm

hurshy

yeah it's that weird babblet that looks almost like you plural a 5 (although you can't make the five in this grid) by adding the S not last but next-to-last

8:04 pm

penquis

hmmm....

8:05 pm

hurshy

the five is one of tolkein's tree creatures... ** ***

8:05 pm

penquis

ah yes....ty....

8:10 pm

penquis

how about the second th 6/24?

8:11 pm

hurshy

what you do to wheat to separate the grain from the husk

8:12 pm

penquis

ty...forgot about that H on the left...

8:12 pm

penquis

i am done....

8:12 pm

hurshy

congrats

8:20 pm

penquis

ty....heading out....goodnight all....

9:12 pm

How do you know you are a genius hurshy?

9:27 pm

I'm not sure what that refers to ru, but I'm pretty sure hurshy is a genius :D

gremlinn

my 10x10 squaredle stats working on/off for a day: 826/890 (+1035), remaining: 0-0-7-14-11-9-8-5-1-1-0-2-1-2-1-0-2 (have two co20s so far)

9:36 pm

hokie carla

which one is that, grem? the gemstones or a different one?

9:36 pm

hokie carla

nope, just clicked on it, it's only 245

9:37 pm

gremlinn

The one that says "Abandon all hope" on the button to start it

9:37 pm

gremlinn

Looks like the gemstone is the one after it

9:40 pm

hokie carla

I started the gemstones. and I'm randomly typing gemstones without even looking for them.🤣

9:42 pm

gremlinn

That one has 888 normal words to find, just about the same.

9:42 pm

gremlinn

Good strategy!

9:43 pm

gremlinn

The one I'm on has almost all letters, just missing F and M. Not sure why they didn't just go for it all when they were so close.

9:49 pm

gremlinn

wait, I got tricked earlier - it gave me a popup about the gemstones puzzle right when I clicked the second 10x10, so I was thinking that was the gemstones one

9:50 pm

gremlinn

now I'm actually on it, the one with gaps in it

9:51 pm

gremlinn

gaps should make this much easier
