9:17 am

moolingwa

big board for a friday

9:17 am

hokie carla

howdy folks

9:18 am

hokie carla

I started on the columns today, so haven't looked at the L yet

9:18 am

moolingwa

hey hoke

9:19 am

moolingwa

yeah, I do columns first...not sure why

9:19 am

hokie carla

moooo

9:19 am

hokie carla

I go back and forth

9:19 am

moolingwa

maybe I should try that

9:19 am

hokie carla

as in I'll do columns for a few days and then I'll do rows for a few days

9:20 am

moolingwa

yeah, I should try mixing it up :)

9:20 am

hokie carla

still need 7 r's, though, so not going very well this direction either

9:21 am

moolingwa

yeah, still need 6 Rs on that first column

9:21 am

moolingwa

I decided to just go for 50% today

9:21 am

MollyL

The lo7 and 8 are weird

9:22 am

hokie carla

I'm sure hurshy will find them immediately now (not sarcasm)🤣

9:22 am

MollyL

Agreed

9:23 am

MollyL

And then say "duh"

9:23 am

hokie carla

lol

9:25 am

hokie carla

ugh, why so many p's? why are p's always so hard?

9:25 am

MollyL

I am sick of overloaded P tiles

9:26 am

hokie carla

me too. you'd think we knew all the p words now.

9:26 am

rururocks

most p's are supposed to be hard hokie (you set me up for that one)

9:26 am

hokie carla

I did have that p already

9:26 am

MollyL

Especially that pe5

9:27 am

moolingwa

if it's hard to p, shouldn't you see a doctor?

9:27 am

Dorens

oh lord, what have I stepped into?

9:27 am

MollyL

Caca

9:27 am

hokie carla

9:29 am

Dorens

9:29 am

hokie carla

ugh, 46 c's

9:30 am

hokie carla

9:30 am

MollyL

C and P, it's a dead heat for most tedious letter

9:30 am

hokie carla

agreed

9:30 am

Dorens

it helps to have good friends, Molly. so far I've had two trips to maine, one to Martha's Vineyard and now the Jersey shore- all to friends' and families. I'm not complaining

9:30 am

rururocks

jealous molly?

9:31 am

MollyL

Jealous of what?

9:31 am

rururocks

of being near the ocean?

9:31 am

MollyL

No

9:32 am

rururocks

oh ok.. i misunderstood your comment then

9:32 am

MollyL

Sounds like Dorens has a lot of generous friends

9:32 am

rururocks

it's because she's such a nice person

9:33 am

hokie carla

well, turns out I'm better at the P than the C

9:33 am

Dorens

I am indeed very fortunate. I thought my son was nuts when he bought this tiny house on a cove up in Deer Isle Maine but I certainly enjoy it. (Just not the 8 -9 hour drive to get there)

9:33 am

MollyL

It is not like you to misunderstand sarcasm Ru. Do we need to send you to the sensitive room? 😋

9:33 am

moolingwa

lol

9:33 am

hokie carla

carpentise - to make something out of wood

9:34 am

rururocks

I can't go to the sensitive room, everyone in there hates me

9:34 am

hokie carla

lol

9:35 am

moolingwa

that's very insensitive of them

9:36 am

MollyL

Oh well then don't go. They might throw their pink satin pillows at you.

9:37 am

hokie carla

antirofl - against humor

9:38 am

moolingwa

I wonder if they just object to the rolling on the floor part, maybe they're lmao tolerant

9:38 am

saanichcat

who' is in that room anyway?

9:38 am

hokie carla

maybe

9:38 am

moolingwa

it's a fair question saani

9:39 am

hokie carla

not me, I don't care what y'all say

9:39 am

saanichcat

someone is throwing pink satin pillows!

9:39 am

hurshy

i think the Cs are worse than the Ps

9:39 am

saanichcat

I think the room is empty

9:39 am

hokie carla

so not just me, hurshy

9:39 am

BzznBea

it's not me. i just got here.

9:40 am

hurshy

also i haven't gotten the lo7/8

9:40 am

moolingwa

well it's empty and full...it'll only be determined once we observer it

9:40 am

saanichcat

agreed, mool

9:40 am

hokie carla

not a fan of this 2nd col E either

9:41 am

moolingwa

the second column e boosters are going to be very disappointed hoke

9:41 am

MollyL

If it's empty and full maybe Shrodinger's cat is in there.

9:41 am

hokie carla

hmm, will have to think about that subtle hint for a while

9:46 am

hurshy

did you guys see the thing about how the OceanGate former accountant had quit after the lead submersible pilot quit and the CEO dude asked her to become the pilot when she had like no background in that

9:46 am

hokie carla

no, so she was the pilot? or not?

9:47 am

hurshy

no, she refused and quit even being the accountant

9:47 am

moolingwa

I haven't really paid attention to it to be honest, but on the surface, that sounds pretty sus

9:47 am

hokie carla

ah

9:47 am

hurshy

and there was something else about some of the engineers being teenagers

9:48 am

hokie carla

well, I know they used some kind of gaming keyboard, but you don't have to be a teenager for that

9:48 am

hurshy

and being paid $15/hr

9:49 am

hurshy

not really how one expects serious engineering to be done

9:49 am

hokie carla

don't have the big L set but wondering what the 3rd one I'm missing is so I can move on.

9:50 am

BzznBea

a 6, carla

9:50 am

BzznBea

the set is a trio

9:50 am

hurshy

can we have a clue?

9:50 am

hokie carla

oh, thanks bea. I might just move on.

9:51 am

hokie carla

or wait for the clue :D

9:51 am

moolingwa

not when you're paying millions to go on the vessel

9:51 am

hokie carla

yeah, that whole story is just crazy

9:51 am

BzznBea

lo + white grain with a different end vowel

9:52 am

hokie carla

thanks, bea

9:52 am

BzznBea

for the 6 obv

9:52 am

hokie carla

9:52 am

hurshy

9:52 am

moolingwa

9:55 am

hurshy

9:55 am

hokie carla

looked it up, but thanks

9:55 am

hokie carla

hey top row gray :D

9:56 am

ChampFit

Honestly, when I got that O it made me so happy! ;)

9:56 am

hurshy

big Free Willy fan?

9:57 am

ChampFit

Is that to me? No.

9:58 am

hokie carla

just happy because it was an easy word?

9:58 am

hurshy

:)

9:58 am

moolingwa

oh yeah, I have a grey top too

9:58 am

ChampFit

Just happy because a row is gray.

9:58 am

hurshy

so yeah anyone have that upper right E? and what is the 9, please? :)

9:58 am

ChampFit

Stats for that top right E please?

9:58 am

moolingwa

9:59 am

phaeton

ek7/48

9:59 am

hokie carla

oh geez

9:59 am

moolingwa

oh good, an easy one

10:00 am

hurshy

well that's the sort of thing that should be easy to get via morewords then

10:00 am

hokie carla

just found a lower E that I recall dorens entering in the chat. not sure why I didn't type it in then.

10:00 am

hurshy

lol, it is the LESS weird of the two ek7s that morewords returns

10:00 am

ChampFit

Oh for goodness sake!!! Guess I'll give it a whirl for a bit....

10:01 am

hokie carla

well, the other one is foreign money, so I'm sure it'll show up in here eventually

10:02 am

hokie carla

I hope you memorized both

10:03 am

hurshy

checked the flip, the 9 is pe

10:04 am

hokie carla

I need to go look for some more pe5s

10:04 am

hokie carla

like IRL, not in the grid

10:05 am

moolingwa

might want to be careful saying that hoke

10:05 am

hurshy

aHA

10:05 am

hurshy

rule by 5

10:06 am

moolingwa

I mean perhaps that's what she does mean, but maybe wants to keep that to herself

10:06 am

hokie carla

pe5/16, not pe5/12. get your minds out of the gutter. ruru must have left.

10:06 am

rururocks

oh hokie.. you are just killling me today

10:06 am

hokie carla

there he is

10:07 am

hokie carla

I'm good at throwing up softballs

10:07 am

moolingwa

lmao

10:07 am

moolingwa

or maybe rofl

10:07 am

hokie carla

be careful, ruru doesn't know what you're saying, moo

10:08 am

moolingwa

oh true

10:08 am

ChampFit

I was just thinking of rofl, till I realized it wasn't a word! I'm losing it.

10:08 am

hokie carla

because he's never seen a text/internet acronym before

10:08 am

moolingwa

he's so innocent

10:08 am

moolingwa

unsullied by acronyms...aka uba

10:08 am

hokie carla

well, champ...rotl is a word, but yes. rofl seemed real to me too.

10:09 am

hokie carla

LOL

10:09 am

rururocks

it's not that I've seen them hokie, it's just that I'm not lazy enough to use them or wanting to use them.

10:09 am

origami

Oh, yes. "Innocent" is the word that comes to mind when I think of ru.

10:09 am

MollyL

Some of us are hopelessly old fashioned and actually type out whole words. And yes Ru, not lazy typists.

10:10 am

MollyL

A babe in the woods, Origami.

10:10 am

rururocks

amost angelic don't you think ori?

10:11 am

hokie carla

I almost used one that we use all the time at my other internet place, but then realized no one would know it. ISYDU

10:11 am

moolingwa

I See Your Dirty Undies?

10:11 am

hokie carla

ha. I'm sorry you don't understand

10:13 am

hokie carla

I guess formica is a proper noun?

10:13 am

MollyL

Registered trademark

10:13 am

rururocks

10:13 am

moolingwa

I may have tried it too :)

MollyL

hokie carla

solid pun on the surface

10:23 am

rururocks

10:25 am

moolingwa

10:30 am

hokie carla

10:31 am

moolingwa

10:34 am

hokie carla

10:40 am

MollyL

I'm sure it would take my breath away if I was the least bit interested in bike racing

10:42 am

hokie carla

well, there were 2 in a breakaway and the big group (peloton) was about 6 seconds behind with like 600m to go. one of the leaders held on to win, but the group caught up and passed the other. also there was a big crash in the peloton near the end, but it was in the middle of the group.

10:48 am

rururocks

would anyone clue the pe 8/9 combo.. i sure dont' see one

10:49 am

hokie carla

10:53 am

hokie carla

yeah, I got nothing

10:55 am

BzznBea

pe8 is the prefix for 5 and the curved top of a door opening.

moolingwa

I respect the nerd

11:24 am

cybernan

ty - it is a silly word

11:25 am

hokie carla

so the fi6/7 combo bea mentioned is different from the other 2 fi6's she gave us?

11:25 am

moolingwa

yes

11:25 am

moolingwa

the fi6/7 are beer barrels

11:25 am

hokie carla

I do have 3 fi6 but no 7

11:26 am

hokie carla

hmm

11:26 am

moolingwa

oh, then I guess I'm missing an fi6

11:26 am

hokie carla

okay, monkeyed those. not sure I've ever seen that

11:26 am

moolingwa

because the 6/7 combo includes a plural

11:26 am

hokie carla

you are prob missing fi6/39

11:27 am

BzznBea

there are 5 fi6

11:27 am

hokie carla

I made that one up and it took

11:28 am

BzznBea

the 6.39 is the beer barrels

11:28 am

hokie carla

well, down to 2 f's now, one of which is an fi6.

11:28 am

hokie carla

no, I have 2 fi6/39

11:29 am

hokie carla

one is like a european polecat. yes, I had to look that up.

11:30 am

cybernan

thought beer barrels were kegs

11:30 am

BzznBea

how about the one that is a balled hand and most of frozen water

11:30 am

hokie carla

well, going to have to break with 44 left. 11-12-8-8-5

R3 A3 T2 i2 F
P5 E4 N4 S5
a lot of work cut out for me. or not.

11:31 am

hokie carla

oh, that's from the other F, and that was what I needed, thanks.

11:33 am

MollyL

Can't say I have ever seen the beer barrel word before

11:33 am

moolingwa

yeah, I needed that one too (finished that F)

11:33 am

moolingwa

12-10-5-7-3

11:33 am

MollyL

And yes Nan, beer barrels are kegs. Unless you are British

11:33 am

cybernan

is the beer barrel one a 6/39?

11:34 am

moolingwa

yes

11:34 am

cybernan

I have one, but there is no def. for it

11:34 am

moolingwa

this has a defintion

11:34 am

moolingwa

just checked

11:35 am

cybernan

oh - the one I have is like a polecat

11:39 am

moolingwa

I don't believe I have any polecatw

11:40 am

cybernan

it ws a new on for me

11:41 am

cybernan

5-6 combo - ends with something you scratch

11:41 am

cybernan

clue for the other one please?

11:41 am

moolingwa

ah, just found it

11:41 am

MollyL

Oh my God. Alert Ru. I looked up synonyms for polecat and one of them was wood pu5 (that word we aren't allowed to say here because it's a "trigger". Even if you are referring to a cat)

11:42 am

moolingwa

well if I was to translate what it looks like, it looks like it could be literal name for a tree that is in the family of conifers :)

11:44 am

cybernan

so it begins with the conifer but doesn't end like the polecat?

11:45 am

cybernan

got it - and we have seen it before!

11:45 am

cybernan

11:55 am

MollyL

I had to look the ek7 up. It is a very weird word

11:56 am

dcseain

must be from greek

11:56 am

cybernan

missing one t on the right - any guesses?

11:56 am

hokie carla

the ek7 is an adj if that helps

11:56 am

hokie carla

11:57 am

moolingwa

tx hoke, that did help

11:58 am

moolingwa

11:59 am

cybernan

ty carla - right column closed

11:59 am

hokie carla

but haven't found any words on my lunch break

11:59 am

MollyL

I'm not sure that knowing it has Greek origin will help too many people

11:59 am

hokie carla

no, I said it was an adj. someone else said greek

12:00 pm

dcseain

yes, "it's basic greek, hello!" is a thing I'm known for.

12:00 pm

MollyL

Yes, I was responding to the greek comment. Maybe if the word was opa!

12:01 pm

moolingwa

It's all greek to me

12:01 pm

hokie carla

looked like it was maybe anthropology related

12:02 pm

moolingwa

yet more greek

12:02 pm

dcseain

sociology, architecture, and environment.

12:04 pm

MollyL

The science of human settlements.

Hi all. Clue for the 9 out there? Please and ty.

3:06 pm

mkg

I am not seeing the 9. Perhaps it is two words? All help welcome. Ty

3:06 pm

mkg

NM found it.

3:06 pm

mkg

Ty

3:09 pm

sajarn

would you mind cluing the 9?

3:09 pm

mkg

Could use help with ek 7 word. Is it a common word?

3:10 pm

mkg

The 9: same first 4 as word before it, and than add to that an architectural or mathmatical word that forms a semi circle for the 8, then add sometimes vowel to end for the 9

3:12 pm

sajarn

e+ most of smooch, ends with the tail end of a stretchy band

3:13 pm

mkg

Sajarn, my friend who lost a son, told me it is like having an arm or leg amputated. But i think it is worse, far worse. I have not experienced it but my daughter has a very ill son and she lives iwth the horror of what tomorrow can bring.

3:14 pm

mkg

Ty sajarn. I got the e and most of smooch but not sure what the tail end of a stretch band is. A band is a circle so what is the end?

3:15 pm

mkg

Got that ek word. Ty for clues. Got the band part. Ty.

3:16 pm

sajarn

think of a sewing notion put around a waist band to cause it to stretch.

3:20 pm

sajarn

As to losing a child, it is an ever present feature of a parent's life. there is always pain. however, over time-its been eight years for me, the instances that induce pain don't happen as often or last as long, but the pain is always acute, sharp and piercing. Mostly now, I just miss my girl, what might have been. But I will see her again and for that, I am grateful.

3:34 pm

BzznBea

I'm sorry, sajarn.

3:36 pm

sajarn

5:57 pm

MollyL

I'm not getting the confusion about the fo4 either

5:59 pm

BzznBea
