1:23 pm

cybernan

hi scrabs - finding this one really tough

1:23 pm

Scrabbler

It was a long 8 weeks of fading health and now she's been gone 11 days. Seems like an eternity.

1:24 pm

Scrabbler

I don't like the letters in the grid.

1:24 pm

cybernan

oh Scrabbs - so sorry - I hadn't heard about your mom. How old was she?

1:24 pm

Scrabbler

92 AND A HALF is what she told everyone.

1:25 pm

cybernan

lol - like the George Carlin piece on aging

1:42 pm

governess

hiiiiiiiii

1:42 pm

Scrabbler

Hi Governess!

1:42 pm

governess

scrabs im sorry about your mom

1:43 pm

Scrabbler

It doesn't seem real.

1:44 pm

governess

it took a while to get used to dad being gone. it will get better

1:45 pm

Scrabbler

Yes, it is a process.

1:48 pm

ChampFit

I'm so sorry for your loss, Scrabs.

1:50 pm

ChampFit

My mom's going to be 90 soon. We lost Dad 15 years ago. Trying very hard to remember to be patient and enjoy what time we have left. You just never know.

1:52 pm

cybernan

Ever since I lost my husband almost 2 years ago I think of every new day as a gift and thank God that Ii am still in good health

1:52 pm

Smdnjv

Hello everyone. I am trying to not be so much a lurker and chat maybe a little more. But since a couple of strokes and heart attack, my fingers seemed to have developed a language of their own.

1:57 pm

Scrabbler

Yes, Champ. I didn't want to bring my mother to the hospital as I feared she would catch COVID and she did. People now go to a hospital to die from COVID. It is awful.

1:57 pm

Scrabbler

Difficulty typing, smdnjv?

1:59 pm

72 Temple Owl

hello

2:00 pm

Scrabbler

Hi Owl

2:00 pm

72 Temple Owl

hello scrabbler. glad to see you

2:01 pm

Smdnjv

yes Scrabs. I chatted a lot more before, but now my fingers. At one time I sailed pirate ships with nutty and her sister, God rest her soul. And I think it was Hurshey that quoted the Princess Bride for beginning to end. And I remember TO being hit by a buggy in Target and being hurt. Thank God, the stroke did not damage my brain too much.

2:02 pm

Scrabbler

It's great to see you in the chat, smdnjv

2:03 pm

cybernan

need to get ready to go out for lunch - back this evening

2:03 pm

Smdnjv

Thank you Scrabs. I am so sorry about your mom. It is so difficult to lose a parent. Prayers for you.

2:04 pm

governess

sounds fun, being a pirate

2:05 pm

Smdnjv

It was fun. There was a formula for learning your pirate name.

2:05 pm

72 Temple Owl

welcome back,

2:06 pm

governess

i can't just be the dread governess?

2:11 pm

72 Temple Owl

aaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrg

2:11 pm

72 Temple Owl

no room for such chicanery here anymore

2:12 pm

Smdnjv

Thank you TO.

2:12 pm

Scrabbler

How about shenanigans?

2:12 pm

72 Temple Owl

sorry to hear of your trouble though

2:12 pm

72 Temple Owl

only when the old crew shows up

2:13 pm

governess

i like shenanigans

2:13 pm

Scrabbler

I miss the old days with the original crew.

2:13 pm

72 Temple Owl

i don't show up in chat much anymore

2:13 pm

Scrabbler

I am a shenanigator.

2:14 pm

governess

i dabble here while i job hunt

2:14 pm

72 Temple Owl

yes. yes you are. i could see that the minute i met you.

2:14 pm

Scrabbler

Yes!

2:15 pm

72 Temple Owl

why the kids love you. i cannot see a plastic dinosaur without thinking of how it would look in your garden.

2:15 pm

governess

scrabanigans

2:15 pm

72 Temple Owl

:)

2:16 pm

Scrabbler

Dinosaurs enjoy roaming my gardens.

2:16 pm

Scrabbler

And hooliganism. I promote that too.

2:16 pm

72 Temple Owl

you are just a rebel.

2:17 pm

72 Temple Owl

i am just finishing lunch and it

2:17 pm

Scrabbler

Absolutely. The stories I could tell you.

2:17 pm

72 Temple Owl

is nearly cocktail hour.

2:17 pm

governess

i'm more a honky tonk debutant

2:17 pm

Scrabbler

Haha.

2:17 pm

72 Temple Owl

did you ever steal a jukebox and bring it 10 stories up in the dorms?

2:18 pm

governess

once stole a javelin, it was retaliation

2:18 pm

72 Temple Owl

whilest smoking a cigar? (smoke free now)

2:19 pm

Scrabbler

No. I am a rebel in standing up to people and their bad decisions. I fight for underdogs.

2:19 pm

Scrabbler

A javelin? Where did you put it?

2:19 pm

72 Temple Owl

wow are you going to study law now?

2:19 pm

hurshy

it's so nice to see that one is remembered the way one would like to be (for one's knowledge of the Princess Bride)

2:19 pm

Scrabbler

I do not have a mind for law. Purely math and science for me.

2:19 pm

72 Temple Owl

and i did have help wheeling the thing into and out of the elevator

2:20 pm

Scrabbler

Was it ever discovered, Owl?

2:20 pm

governess

in the shed. uncharacteristically, my parents asked me no questios, so i told them no lies.

2:20 pm

72 Temple Owl

and we only borrowed it, brought it back after the party

2:20 pm

72 Temple Owl

uh oh

2:20 pm

Scrabbler

Lucky for you, governess.

2:20 pm

governess

was it heavy owl or just awkward

2:21 pm

hurshy

the law would be good if people didn't forget that it was an attempt to get justice and start seeing the law as an end in itself, more important than justice

2:21 pm

Scrabbler

Princess Buttercup has entered the chat.

2:21 pm

72 Temple Owl

it was the talk of the dorms. but no official scholastic involvement.

2:21 pm

governess

scanning for ROUS

2:22 pm

hurshy

i don't think they exist

2:22 pm

Scrabbler

Good story, Owl.

2:22 pm

governess

2:22 pm

the 7 is double vowel in place of sometimes vowel

Re7/28 ……clue please

double consonant in the middle aeb

10:07 pm

aebmusica

Ty cybernan

10:07 pm

hokie carla

so you found the se7 and still need the 6, nan? same word, but change the double vowel to the sometimes vowel.

10:07 pm

hokie carla

my ca6 clue is a little yellow bird

10:07 pm

cybernan

ty carla - both new words for me.

10:09 pm
