12:16 pm

hokie carla

12:16 pm

hokie carla

12:16 pm

dcseain

12:17 pm

hokie carla

thanks, seain

12:17 pm

hokie carla

was definitely not going in that direction

12:17 pm

bichon

dc, what is the hint?

12:17 pm

dcseain

nor was I for a good while.

12:18 pm

hokie carla

covid is a th6 to your wellbeing

Book Doctor Gwen

Hi all, stuck in waiting room, not

12:19 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

Nbt that is

12:19 pm

hokie carla

I was reading that in wayne and garth and thought it was a very odd one

12:22 pm

dcseain

hitmen is not in the dictionary. huh.

12:23 pm

hokie carla

I hadn't seen it today, but have complained enough about it that I probably wouldn't have tried it.

12:24 pm

hokie carla

down to 6 now. 3-1-1-1. I know what the 7 starts with thanks to the flippers.

12:24 pm

hokie carla

how are these 4's so hard?

12:24 pm

hokie carla

probably something I think I have, so I should just type everything

12:25 pm

MollyL

I often wonder why words that don't take come up with "was not found in the dictionary" when it should say "is not on the Enable word list".

12:27 pm

hokie carla

well, the answer to that is because dr. god programmed it that way, making the real question, why didn't he have it say that. but we also know he switched to enable after a while of using the scrabble list.

12:28 pm

hokie carla

found a 4. not sure I've ever seen that before.

12:28 pm

hokie carla

of course not in dictionary. com or merriam-webster

12:30 pm

hokie carla

been trying to make -ative and -ation work all day, but so far nothing.

12:32 pm

hokie carla

ha, there's a regular 4

12:33 pm

MollyL

Remative the indigenous remarried population

12:33 pm

hokie carla

now 1-1-1-1 left. T M A V

12:36 pm

hokie carla

vitamen - sure that is self-explanatory

12:37 pm

hokie carla

surely. and don't call me shirley.

12:37 pm

dcseain

lol

12:38 pm

hokie carla

well apparently the vi7 is new to folks, so not sure why I keep trying stuff.

12:39 pm

dcseain

oh, that's not new, but it's been a long while since iti's been in a grid.

12:39 pm

hokie carla

any help?

12:40 pm

dcseain

the vi is a prefix on a more common word

12:41 pm

hokie carla

got it. basically what I just typed in the chat earlier.

12:41 pm

dcseain

more or less, yes

12:44 pm

hokie carla

anyone want to tell me what my A stat is?

12:47 pm

dcseain

I just fond an av5

12:49 pm

dcseain

and an affirmative word am4

12:50 pm

dcseain

and a long time. all from the upper A

12:51 pm

hokie carla

argh, the long time one. I struggle with that a lot.

12:52 pm

hokie carla

so now my M and T are a 5 and 6.

12:53 pm

dcseain

ma6 is often literally physical, though I'd expect you had that, remove a latter for ma5

12:56 pm

dcseain

I have a T latin plural that's a 6

12:56 pm

hokie carla

think I have all those

12:57 pm

hokie carla

and I have 2 m5 that are a letter removed from the 6

12:58 pm

ch1212

maybe the morning prayer m5 with the cross doubled?

12:58 pm

hokie carla

oh well, will look at the list.

12:59 pm

12:59 pm

penquis

carla!

12:59 pm

penquis

take one of your ma 5 words and double the middle consonant...

1:00 pm

hokie carla

1:00 pm

hokie carla

I have something that fits that

1:01 pm

penquis

1:01 pm

1:02 pm

penquis

1:03 pm

1:05 pm

penquis

1:06 pm

ch1212

1:06 pm

MollyL

No definition and if you try and look it up on Google it changes it to Ma5 as in Short the comedy actor

1:07 pm

hokie carla

1:07 pm

penquis

it usually has an S on the end...

1:07 pm

hokie carla

1:08 pm

penquis

3:18 pm

periwinkle

stuck with 36 left

3:21 pm

MollyL

Oh darn, I wanted to know how the spooky witch museum was

6:01 pm

HarryHood

not spooky at all. it's a history of the persecution of witches - they kind of have an agenda - talking about how people are made into scapegoats and persecuted. It was interesting, but when they started preaching at us it got tiresome.

6:05 pm

MollyL

So you think those people were really witches?

6:06 pm

HarryHood

well persecution of the "other"

6:07 pm

HarryHood

but they tied it into aids --> gays, WWII --> japanese americans, mccarthy and communists

6:07 pm

MollyL

Not sure I get that

6:08 pm

HarryHood

these teenage girls were having freakouts, as teenage girls will, and ratted out this carribean servant as a witch, and that's how it all started

6:08 pm

HarryHood

and they weren't burned, they were hanged!

6:09 pm

MollyL

Oh, okay. The Salem witch thing had nothing to do with those things

6:09 pm

HarryHood

no - but they have a social agenda.

6:10 pm

HarryHood

all about queer culture acceptance. which is fine. but this is 1690.

6:10 pm

MollyL

What about the ergot poisoning?

6:10 pm

HarryHood

they never mentioned that :)

6:10 pm

HarryHood

and no monty python jokes.

6:11 pm

HarryHood

but they were showing wizard of oz in the bookstore, and had a picture of elizabeth montgomery and agnes moorhead

6:13 pm

HarryHood

ooh found my last y, which sounds like a swedish insult

6:13 pm

HarryHood

6 left.

6:15 pm

MollyL

Sad story of women who were set up for religious BS

6:16 pm

HarryHood

the docent said millions of witches were executed in europe. which sounds exaggerated.

6:17 pm

HarryHood

wiki says 35000 to 50000

6:21 pm

HarryHood

stuck at 6. bbl.

7:07 pm
