2:49 pm

hokie carla

it's probably a stupid di7, think telephone operator

2:49 pm

hurshy

well, yes, that is rather stupid

2:51 pm

hokie carla

so random with certain suffixes, suffi, suffices.

2:51 pm

hurshy

lol

2:52 pm

BzznBea

i have always said enable allows the stoopidest -er words

2:52 pm

hokie carla

last 2 A's were compounds. I meant to look for more of those and forgot.

2:53 pm

hokie carla

hurshy, are all your D's from the left?

2:53 pm

hurshy

no, just that one was

2:53 pm

hurshy

the other 2 were right, one was really easy and one was a 5/14, i went to the list

2:54 pm

hurshy

2:55 pm

BzznBea

2:55 pm

hokie carla

2:56 pm

hurshy

ty!

2:56 pm

hokie carla

and yeah, that D5 was my last one. how stupid of me to not know US coins from the 1700s.

2:56 pm

BzznBea

lol! "make it do stuff"

2:56 pm

hurshy

5:21 pm

72 Temple Owl

good

5:21 pm

nrkii

how are you?

5:22 pm

72 Temple Owl

it's been a day. you know when some people are so, hello, always the clown, alwyas the show, but when the camera is off, there is a dark saide.

5:23 pm

72 Temple Owl

perhaps not quite phony, but masking. it can be tough

5:24 pm

72 Temple Owl

and they switch like sybil

5:24 pm

nrkii

yuck, avoid those people

5:25 pm

moolingwa

rehi

5:25 pm

72 Temple Owl

then i would have to find a new volunteer gig. the issue is as old as time: ask(nicely) a man to cease touching you, no matter how nicely, that's it

5:26 pm

72 Temple Owl

after four or five times staying silent

5:26 pm

72 Temple Owl

do it nicely and privately. no matter.

5:26 pm

moolingwa

you have every right to tell him where to go

5:26 pm

nrkii

ugh...

5:27 pm

nrkii

Yeah, don't be TOO nice. Don't leave room for ambiguity.

5:27 pm

72 Temple Owl

i even said, look, i am not ascribing any motive to you. he is weird.

5:28 pm

72 Temple Owl

well nrk, in the office i know the drill. say it so lloud EVERYONE will see and hear what is happening.

5:28 pm

72 Temple Owl

NEVER let is be said that no one saw or heard anything

5:28 pm

nrkii

It can just be, "The reason does not matter. I do not want you to touch me again. This isn't up for discussion."

5:29 pm

nrkii

Is he in charge?

5:30 pm

72 Temple Owl

i am busy. i am working. i cannot say, okay, you are my firend in the office, you are okay, but you are not. it's business. of course he is

5:30 pm

72 Temple Owl

business is business. friendship is outside of business hours.

5:31 pm

72 Temple Owl

sorry all thanks moo

5:31 pm

nrkii

yuck, I'm sorry TO

5:31 pm

moolingwa

definitely no need to apologize

5:31 pm

72 Temple Owl

OMG someone beat tetris!!!

5:31 pm

moolingwa

that kind of behavior is unacceptable

5:32 pm

72 Temple Owl

in other news...:D

5:32 pm

moolingwa

you can beat tetris?

5:32 pm

72 Temple Owl

no a 13 YO kid did!

5:32 pm

moolingwa

didn't even think it was possible

5:32 pm

moolingwa

thought it just went on for ever

5:33 pm

72 Temple Owl

the game creator congratulated him.

5:34 pm

moolingwa

I believe it was created by a Russian guy if I recall correctly

5:34 pm

72 Temple Owl

i am not sure. it's such an old game i did not even know people still played it.

5:35 pm

moolingwa

it's amazing what people still play...there's even a whole series of communities that try to complete games faster than anyone else

5:35 pm

72 Temple Owl

remember utopia? i used to love that game

5:36 pm

moolingwa

never played it, but appears there's a version on Steam

5:36 pm

hokie carla

rehi - I mentioned earlier that I played so much in the dorm my freshman year of college (on a GameBoy) that would see the pieces falling in my eyelids when I would try to go to sleep.

5:37 pm

moolingwa

okay guilty confession....I play word games in my head to help fall asleep and then do sometimes dream about them :)

5:37 pm

72 Temple Owl

sort of like when you drive to FL and when you finally get there and sleep, you see the white line moving

5:38 pm

72 Temple Owl

as if still on the road

5:38 pm

moolingwa

I used to pack peaches on the orchard I grew up on, and the peaches would be in these round bins that would rotate...they of course kept moving even after the machine was off

5:39 pm

hokie carla

I still play minesweeper and occasionally have the screen burned into my mind

5:39 pm

moolingwa

oh yeah, used to play minesweeper for hours

5:39 pm

hokie carla

mmmm, peaches

5:40 pm

hokie carla

how are NZ peaches?

5:40 pm

moolingwa

very good

5:40 pm

72 Temple Owl

funny that should come up. i was thinking of making peach cobbler today.

5:40 pm

moolingwa

the last ones on the trees were the best though...so sweet and juicy

5:41 pm

moolingwa

ooh, peach cobbler sounds good...making me hungry

5:41 pm

hokie carla

fresh peaches might be my favorite fruit, but it's hard to beat a delicious watermelon

5:41 pm

72 Temple Owl

i had a workmate who made it the best. i used his recipe but never as good

5:42 pm

moolingwa

yeah, not sure what my favourite fruit would be, but peaches would be up there...icy watermelon when it's hot outside. Passionfruit I really like

5:42 pm

72 Temple Owl

my favorites are nectarines. and cantaloupe.

5:42 pm

moolingwa

I can tell you that Durian is near the bottom...of any food I've had

5:42 pm

72 Temple Owl

y'all are making me hungry. what is durian?

5:42 pm

moolingwa

Oh, I really like apricots, but so hard to find good ones

5:43 pm

moolingwa

durian is a fruit popular in southeast asia...smells bad, but many in that region love it

5:43 pm

72 Temple Owl

oh right, they would be right up there but finding good fresh ones is impossible.

5:43 pm

72 Temple Owl

and fresh figs, the green ones. hate dried ones.

5:44 pm

moolingwa

I really like apricot yoghurt, but that's almost impossible to find now

5:44 pm

hokie carla

my first job out of college back in '95 - we did not have the internet! and I had 1, maybe 2 days of work each month, so I spent a LOT of hours on minesweeper. Had very good times. the guy that sat on the other side of my cube wall could hear the clicking and would say, are you sweeping again? 🤣 the app versions now aren't the same, but are still addictive.

5:44 pm

moolingwa

sweet raspberries are up there too

5:44 pm

hokie carla

haha, because you can't find yoghurt in the US 😜

5:45 pm

72 Temple Owl

okay you lot, now i need to go rustle up some dinner.

5:45 pm

72 Temple Owl

i love plain old dannon. nothing like it. vanilla.

5:45 pm

moolingwa

hah

5:46 pm

hokie carla

I love a good pear from that mail order place that I'm drawing a blank on, but they're so expensive.

5:46 pm

72 Temple Owl

sometimes strawberry.

5:46 pm

moolingwa

oh...mango is very good too. Had a mango tree when I lived in Miami (and Australia for that matter)

5:46 pm

72 Temple Owl

harry and david. they are comice pears and are seasonal and hard to find

5:47 pm

72 Temple Owl

i made a pear chocolate yogurt cake that called for them, could not find

5:47 pm

hokie carla

yes! they are royal rivera. riviera? IDK

5:47 pm

moolingwa

Do like apple desserts too...cooked apple is very good

5:48 pm

72 Temple Owl

when i researched, i think they said they were comice. late fall.

5:48 pm

moolingwa

and blackberry cobbler

5:48 pm

hokie carla

I can't seem to like mango. and TO, you mentioned cantaloupe - I hate that and honeydew

5:48 pm

72 Temple Owl

now i am starving. had a huge salad for late lunch but it does not stay long.

5:49 pm

72 Temple Owl

oh heck. which melons are large round and yellow?

5:49 pm

hokie carla

there used to be a harry & david store at the outlet mall in myrtle beach. my friend has a beach house just north of there and we would go and get discounted pears. alas, it closed in early covid times.

5:50 pm

hokie carla

yes, moo. love cooked apples.

5:51 pm

72 Temple Owl

yes the mall one here closed. for a while there was a mixup and i got fruits meant for the same address one town over. they will not take it back. just reship. but then i got a bad shipment that was infested. it was awful

5:51 pm

hokie carla
