https://www.dictionary.com/browse/hide\ny%20hole

9:23 am

hokie carla

oh come on

9:23 am

hokie carla

9:24 am

hokie carla

anyhoo, go to dictionary.com and type in hidey hole

9:24 am

hokie carla

but they have it hyphenated

9:24 am

hokie carla

so I guess that's why it's not in enable

9:24 am

MollyL

Never heard of Hesiod

9:25 am

hokie carla

9:25 am

MollyL

You are safer using tiny url for all links.

9:38 am

hokie carla

9:48 am

rururocks

Psycho was pretty good too...

9:48 am

rururocks

and the Birds

9:48 am

hokie carla

apparently Marnie was Tippi's last time working with Hitchcock even though she owed him one more from her contract, because he sexually harassed her every day (confirmed by costars)

9:49 am

rururocks

yes he was a creep

9:50 am

10:35 am

hokie carla

they must be above my pay grade

10:36 am

hokie carla

a bit nuttish that nuttish isn't a word

10:36 am

cybernan

10:38 am

hokie carla

eo5/6, es6, es4, en6/7, eo4

10:39 am

hokie carla

nan, you missed my reminder about the american diaper words. I know you always have issue with them.

10:40 am

cybernan

have those too, ty

10:40 am

cybernan

looking for the es and en words

10:40 am

dcseain

diaper words confuses me. I know two, that, and a British term.

10:41 am

hokie carla

we've had them (e words) before but I wouldn't use them

10:41 am

dcseain

oh, okay, thank you.

10:41 am

hokie carla

es6 has to do with english law

10:41 am

cybernan

oh - there is a diaper word beginning with es? I thought you were talking about the di words

10:42 am

hokie carla

diaper words are di5/6, di4

10:43 am

cybernan

stats for the lone e please?

10:43 am

hokie carla

en6/7 are more chemistry

10:43 am

dcseain

more than one E, nan

10:43 am

BzznBea

es4 i think

10:44 am

hokie carla

yes, es4, which I think I said was from the other e, but it's the single e, but multiple s. 🤣

10:44 am

doseffing

agree with Bea

10:44 am

cybernan

yes - forgot that that sort of thing is considered a word

10:48 am

hurshy

i'm not sure i know american diaper slang words

10:48 am

hurshy

now all i can think of is the british ones

10:48 am

hokie carla

do you have the british singer who eminem sampled?

10:48 am

hurshy

eminem... sampled... ummmmmmm

10:49 am

hokie carla

she is similar to an extinct bird that = stupid

10:49 am

hurshy

yes, i have that then

10:50 am

hurshy

is that a word for diaper too?

10:50 am

hokie carla

then the diaper word change the last letter to sometimes vowel and then for the 5 replace sometimes vowel with equivalent

10:50 am

hurshy

ohhh i see, thanks

10:50 am

dcseain

oh, how weird, thanks.

10:51 am

hokie carla

also, there are 2 plurals for the british singer

10:51 am

hokie carla

I have def heard my mom call a diaper that and it's extremely likely I have called a diaper that

10:51 am

hurshy

ooh thanks that's my top D grey

10:52 am

hurshy

just one more D from the third row and i'll Defeat them all

10:52 am

dcseain

I don't think I've ever heard the term.

10:52 am

hokie carla

I still have 3!

10:54 am

hurshy

3 from the top?

10:55 am

hokie carla

yeah, and three from the middle row D

10:55 am

cybernan

leaving you lovely people in favour of breakfast - bbl :)

10:56 am

hurshy

well most of the rest of the di words are more normal

10:56 am

hurshy

there's di5/12 that i guess is a chemical, we have it often

10:56 am

hurshy

di7 a set of furniture

10:56 am

hokie carla

these are from the middle row?

10:56 am

dcseain

I'd missed that, thanks

10:56 am

hurshy

di5/14 is related to electricity

10:57 am

hurshy

idk i'm just going through them all

10:57 am

hokie carla

I have the furn, got the 5/6 set, thanks

10:57 am

hurshy

SET, aha that's what missed that plural, lol

10:58 am

hurshy

there are 7 do and one dy

10:58 am

hokie carla

oh, I am short 2 do

10:59 am

hurshy

probably a 4 and 6 combo

10:59 am

hurshy

Nike commercials tell you to just __ __

10:59 am

hokie carla

lol, I always get that word but that's it

10:59 am

dcseain

I just found that pair :)

10:59 am

hokie carla

do now I guess a di from each d

11:00 am

hokie carla

the dissee is the one getting disrespected

11:00 am

hurshy

mostly 4s

11:00 am

hurshy

aside from what we've already covered i mean

11:00 am

hurshy

one unlikely past tense for a 6

11:00 am

hurshy

and one completely normal plural for another 6

11:01 am

hurshy

aaaand i just got the other 8s, both un, also rather unlikely if you ask me

11:01 am

hokie carla

of course

11:02 am

hurshy

they go together

11:02 am

hurshy

root is a 6

11:02 am

hokie carla

like ramalamalamalama something

11:04 am

hokie carla

lol, my last lower i was similar to my missing o

11:04 am

hokie carla

both incredibly regular

11:06 am

dcseain

I'll be back in a bit, off to do a bit more around house before the cat on my wrist is asleep.

11:06 am

hokie carla

11:09 am

hurshy

flip chat says the 9 is a tu, goes with a 7... hmmm

11:10 am

hokie carla

it was clued right when I started, so I have it

11:10 am

hokie carla

if you want help

11:10 am

hurshy

yeah if it is weird

11:10 am

hokie carla

it is weird unless you're into metallurgy

11:11 am

hurshy

i am not into metallurgy

11:11 am

hokie carla

ends in things in your kitchen that you eat off of

11:11 am

hurshy

11:11 am

hokie carla

11:14 am

hurshy

well, whatever my remaining two 7s are, it doesn't look like they were called

Still hanging in there. It’s been a LONG year (health-wise for my hubby) so that’s tough; but hopefully things are starting to turn around this week I hope.

sorry to hear that, hoping things will begin to improve.

Thanks. I’m hoping the same. It’s been a long time being “the nurse” 24/7 waiting for things to heal & trying to line up the “Next” procedure (& the next, etc.).
