12:35 am

Gillie

a disease-carrying fly

12:40 am

Gillie

Can't find anything for the lower right E

12:41 am

hokie carla

I can't find lower left or lower right E and only 2 of lower S. too many duplicate letters.

12:42 am

hokie carla

oh, found a pl es6 on bottom right

12:42 am

Gillie

Actually, I meant the lower left E!

12:42 am

jeanne314

Gillie - one of them is a plural (es7) for an es6 that is solved by another letter

12:42 am

jeanne314

I need that 6!

12:42 am

jeanne314

oh, darn.

12:43 am

Gillie

ty anyway :)

12:43 am

hokie carla

well, not one who is rubbed out by a pencil

12:45 am

hokie carla

also, estate is not there, no matter how many times I see it

12:46 am

jeanne314

My eyes are all googly at this point. I feel your pain.

8:23 am

mael

too bad jetsetter is not a word.

8:35 am

MollyL

It woukdn't work even if it was

8:36 am

hokie carla

I did try jetset and jetter last night

8:40 am

mael

yeah, but jetset and jetsets would!

8:40 am

hokie carla

no jetset either

8:41 am

rururocks

it's because of the kardashians

8:42 am

mael

nah, it's a 1950s word! it's just that it's hyphenated alas

8:43 am

hokie carla

so what is my last J?

8:43 am

mael

dunno, probably one of my missing two!

8:44 am

rururocks

je 4 12

8:44 am

hokie carla

I think you're onto something

8:44 am

mael

but did you try je4/13 which is used as a slur?

8:44 am

hokie carla

yes, have that

8:44 am

hokie carla

the spanish boss

8:45 am

hokie carla

now just need 5 T's to gray middle col 🤣

8:45 am

MollyL

It could start THE conversation

8:45 am

mael

let's not start the conversation

8:46 am

mael

:)

8:46 am

rururocks

what would start the conversation?

8:47 am

MollyL

je4/13

8:47 am

rururocks

oh

8:47 am

rururocks

you need kaplan for that though

8:47 am

hokie carla

now just need es7 from bottom right to finish the e's. I have all the other e's so if it's a plural surely I can find it.

8:48 am

mael

is it an es7? huh lemme look.

8:48 am

hokie carla

now I'm questioning if that post was true from 12:42

8:48 am

rururocks

i would think the fe8 would bring up more discussion

8:48 am

hokie carla

because the only es6 I have without a pl can't make a pl

8:49 am

mael

nothing controversial about that!

8:49 am

rururocks

no kidding :D

8:50 am

rururocks

but it is sort of an oral discussion really

8:50 am

MollyL

There is only one es7 and it's not from the bottom right

8:51 am

hokie carla

ok, I think that post was wrong then. so what is the other E? (I have a pl es6)

8:51 am

rururocks

there are two es8 's though

8:51 am

hokie carla

and sorry, I almost blew ruru's pun thread

8:51 am

MollyL

el4?

8:52 am

hokie carla

only have one es8 so it has to be that I guess

8:52 am

mael

use your head, hokie :)

8:53 am

MollyL

I'm lost. You said from the bottom right e

8:53 am

mael

oh found it, it's related to the plural

8:53 am

rururocks

leaves out popcorn for molly

8:53 am

hokie carla

yes, bottom right E

8:54 am

mael

es8, related to the es6 from the same tile

8:54 am

hokie carla

but ruru says there are 2 es8 and I just have one and all my other e's are gray

8:55 am

rururocks

it is an 8 from the corner I think

8:55 am

rururocks

in the middle of es5 & 6

8:55 am

MollyL

That es8 is a plural

8:56 am

hokie carla

so you're saying related to the 6 like adding two letters? or it's related to the 5 that comes from elsewhere?

8:56 am

hokie carla

ok, I think ruru answered my question

8:56 am

rururocks

is't a continuation of the 5

8:57 am

hokie carla

feels like I've tried everything to continue that 5. will keep working, thanks all.

8:58 am

hokie carla

got it, just had to think about using different tiles to make it come from there

8:58 am

MollyL

The bottom right E does not make es8

9:00 am

rururocks

it does

9:00 am

hokie carla

it definitely does

9:00 am

hokie carla

the first es8

9:01 am

hokie carla

as I said, that was the only e I had left on the whole board, so it was very obvious

9:01 am

hokie carla

plus you cannot make that word from any of the other e's

9:06 am

9:47 am

BzznBea

9:47 am

hokie carla

9:48 am

hurshy

*tries to see if she has gotten any fish*

9:48 am

hurshy

oh, is it the neon te5?

9:48 am

hokie carla

9:52 am

BzznBea

congratulations

9:53 am

hokie carla

well, I still have 6 F's and 6 left S's

9:53 am

9:53 am

hurshy

9:53 am

hokie carla

9:53 am

hurshy

9:58 am

hurshy

9:59 am

hokie carla

9:59 am

hurshy

9:59 am

hurshy

9:59 am

hokie carla

5 that have exam in them

9:59 am

BzznBea

welcome to my world

10:00 am

hurshy

ok, have those 5 exam ones

10:00 am

hokie carla

10:00 am

hurshy

WAIT

10:00 am

hurshy

10:00 am

hurshy

hokie carla

and an anagram of exam, so now just one T left

10:01 am

hurshy

COVID is going around big time

11:56 am

bichon

Covid shots for Seniors

11:57 am

bichon

I had mine

12:00 pm

hokie carla

he did a covid test that was negative

12:01 pm

bichon

great carla

12:01 pm

hokie carla

I think the wave is dying down here and back home where my family is

12:06 pm

bichon

When I had covid last Sept., I was on a cruise. I had had all the boosters

12:08 pm

player girl

Thanks for the ee. I thought I had tried that, finally NBT/NBS

12:09 pm

hokie carla

yeah, it doesn't keep you from getting it, just lessens the symptoms

12:10 pm

bichon

My doctor gave me Paxlovid, disappeared quickly. But I gave it to Mr. B

12:14 pm

MollyL

Half the people in my office have had COVID over the past 2 weeks, thanks to people who won't stay home when they are sick or exposed.

12:19 pm

hokie carla

have mentioned before, my mom's roommate in the nursing home had it and my mom never got it, and she was like 4' away. so maybe the shot does keep some people from getting it.

12:20 pm

hokie carla

but she did get it last Feb (23) in the rehab hospital and had shots then too. I guess it depends on the strain.

12:25 pm

MollyL

The one going around now is very contagious

12:25 pm

72 Temple Owl

it's become such a crap shoot,

12:26 pm

72 Temple Owl

norovirus is high now. that's a difficult one to avoid.

12:27 pm

hokie carla

yeah, that's what I heard about the contagiousness, that's why it's weird my mom didn't get it.

12:27 pm

hokie carla

mr homie is patiently waiting for norovirus vaccine

12:28 pm

hokie carla

there is one in the works. not sure of the latest on it.

12:29 pm

72 Temple Owl

there's a vaccine?

12:31 pm

72 Temple Owl

ah, must finish floor washing. sick as i was, i had a refrigerator spill of sticky cider. spent an hour and a hald cleaning then floor

12:31 pm

72 Temple Owl

at least it took my mind off of feeling ill

12:52 pm

cg530

lls

12:55 pm

aebmusica

Cg530 is a Parrolet a good pet to have in an Assisted Living place.

12:56 pm

aebmusica

.does it talk and/ or sing?

1:00 pm

MollyL

COVID is respiatory. Norovirus is gastrointestinal.

1:01 pm

MollyL

No clue where cg530 came from

1:04 pm

ch1212

Iowa, Molly.

1:07 pm

MollyL

In terms of the current conversation

1:07 pm

ch1212

Oh. cg530 owns a Parrolet.

1:11 pm

Gillie

COVID is not just respiratory, although I guess the most severe symptoms are. (And current variants may be mostly respiratory in effect, for all I know.)

1:28 pm

Shirlockc

clue for the bottom row E, second column, i got stats from hurshy ages ago but still not getting it

1:29 pm
