Sophie512

Hello all. I drop by almost every day just to see how doable today's puzzle is. I usually just do half and leave it, if it's around 200. Finish if it's a small one. Today's is so daunting that I wouldn't even attempt half. So, let me just say how much I admire all you wordsmiths. Have a great day!
9:56 am

4:17 pm
hurshy

4:21 pm
BzznBea

no wonder i can't concentrate
4:21 pm
hokie carla

I know he was visiting her, she died? I'm sorry.
4:23 pm
BzznBea

she was put into hospice today.
4:23 pm
hurshy

4:25 pm
BzznBea

4:25 pm
hokie carla

yep
4:25 pm
BzznBea

her daughter turned 13 on saturday
4:25 pm
hurshy

poor kid :(
4:26 pm
hurshy

i went to a wake for the brother of a HS friend recently - he had five teen daughters. it's so weird to think of losing a parent at that age when i haven't lost mine yet at a much older age.
4:27 pm
BzznBea

i lost my dad at 15
4:27 pm
hurshy

sorry to hear that bea :(
4:28 pm
BzznBea

thanks
4:28 pm
BzznBea

long time ago
4:28 pm
hokie carla

mr. homie's oldest brother died a couple of weeks ago. I think he was 60. he has a daughter a little younger than my youngest. and he didn't seem to do any estate planning, so one of the sisters was trying to get everything sorted.
4:29 pm
hurshy

yeah this guy had no life insurance... there's a go fund me to try to help the family not lose their house...
4:30 pm
hokie carla

5 teen daughters is crazy. were some of them multiples?
4:30 pm
hurshy

yeah there was a pair of twins
4:31 pm
hurshy

and i don't know for sure their ages, the oldest might have been 20 or the youngest 12 or things like that, they just all looked teenagery to me
4:34 pm
hurshy

i feel like eating unhealthily for dinner... like going to IHOP or something
4:34 pm
hokie carla

well, I like to get under 30 before listing but think I will for these last 31. I'm just typing the same words over and over.
4:34 pm
hurshy

could this be the result of thinking about death?
4:35 pm
hurshy

i've kept chipping away at mine hokie, down to 23 here
4:35 pm
hurshy

22
4:35 pm
BzznBea

sorry to be the bzz kill
4:35 pm
hurshy

and that's 3 or fewer from any given tile now!
4:35 pm
hurshy

oh not a problem at all bea. it is important to talk about such things.
4:35 pm
hokie carla

I don't know, but it sounds good. I went to a place for breakfast and had the best GF pancakes. nice and fluffy and they had a banana rum sauce, whipped cream, and pecans (which I don't really like but ate them.)
4:36 pm
hokie carla

yes, bea...you know we are here anytime you want to "talk"
4:36 pm
BzznBea

was that first watch?
4:36 pm
hokie carla

no, another broken egg cafe
4:36 pm
hokie carla

we went and visited the youngest in raleigh
4:37 pm
BzznBea

we like first watch. they do gf and vegan
4:37 pm
hokie carla

is first watch good? one opened near me back in charlotte but I didn't make it there before I moved
4:38 pm
hokie carla

will have to keep it in mind
4:38 pm
BzznBea

give it a try next time you are in RDU area. there are several
4:38 pm
cybernan

hi again
4:40 pm
hokie carla

I feel like I have to go back to another broken egg there!
4:40 pm
hokie carla

rehi nan
4:41 pm
hokie carla

the pancakes were so good that I thought they weren't really gf
4:45 pm
hokie carla

ok, one of my a's was as4 that I know I had
4:46 pm
BzznBea

which a are you looking at
4:46 pm
hokie carla

it was the top a. finished both now thanks to the list.
4:46 pm
BzznBea

ah
4:47 pm
hokie carla

but I was saying to moo this morning that I know there will be 4s and 5s I entered but disappear because that happens on these big grids
4:47 pm
cybernan

sc 7/36 please?
4:48 pm
hurshy

hmm looks like i need that too
4:48 pm
hokie carla

me too
4:48 pm
hokie carla

what about cr7/36?
4:49 pm
hurshy

if you are cr7/36 you are inclined to believe people
4:49 pm
hokie carla

well, I tried that with the wrong vowel in the 2nd syllable
4:50 pm
cybernan

found it -- ends with what a model does when her/his picture is being taken (could apply to actors as well)
4:50 pm
hokie carla

thanks
4:50 pm
hurshy

thanks nan
4:50 pm
Soodle

Bea - I seem to keep missing you. I’m so sorry for what you & Mr Bea are going through right now. I will keep you both in my thoughts and prayers. Stay strong.
4:50 pm
BzznBea

thanks
4:50 pm
hurshy

well now that i have 21 left, i feel like i have to find one more before i get the list
4:51 pm
BzznBea

thanks, soodle
4:51 pm
cybernan

wd hurshy
4:52 pm
hokie carla

okay, I definitely already had go4 like some horror movies
4:53 pm
hurshy

i don't understand when you guys claim to "lo4" words like that... that has literally never happened to me unless there's red boxes and stuff and one knows things are messed up
4:54 pm
hokie carla

yeah, I even said today some people deny it happens (was thinking of molly though, not you), but others report it happening to them too. maybe browser and OS related. I'm on a mac with chrome.
4:54 pm
cybernan

hurshy - happenss to me all the time because I don't watch to see if what I've typed was accepted and I don't always look at what I am typing
4:54 pm
BzznBea

me too hurshy. may be an apple thing?
4:55 pm
BzznBea

going afk
4:55 pm
hurshy

i use a mac
4:55 pm
hurshy

so perhaps it's a typing issue, you type too fast and type it wrong? not actually words being lost?
4:55 pm
hurshy

because that would make more sense
4:56 pm
cybernan

I think so -- happens when you touch type
4:56 pm
hokie carla

I always watch to see if it's green or red on the bar under the box. sometimes they show up out of order there. also I always have a lag on the chat here. no lag on other websites, and it's been this way for as long as I've been playing, no matter where I lived with different ISPs.
4:57 pm
hokie carla

sometimes I type a word again because I never saw the bar turn green and then it says I've already entered that one. it's like it has to catch up.
4:57 pm
cybernan

yes I have a lag as well -- wonder if it has something to do with the number of people logged in?
4:58 pm
hokie carla

yeah, I've noticed yours before, it seems to be worse than mine
4:58 pm
hokie carla

anyone have the last gr7?
4:59 pm
hurshy

i get a lag sometimes but not most of the time
4:59 pm
hurshy

i don't think i do, my last is just a past tense
5:00 pm
hokie carla

very rarely a post will show up as soon as I hit enter but it usually takes a while. also, I have reported that posts show up in the chat between posts I've already read and you all think I'm crazy for that too.
5:00 pm
cybernan

gr 7: military weapon -- don't pull the pin please
5:00 pm
hokie carla

aha, thanks
5:00 pm
hurshy

woot!
5:01 pm
hokie carla

one thing I know is I for real missed a lot of words ending in y
5:01 pm
hurshy

we think you're crazy for so many reasons tho hokie
5:01 pm
hurshy

lol
5:02 pm
hokie carla

truth
5:05 pm
hokie carla

missed the spanish father AS USUAL
5:10 pm
hurshy

ok an6 was weird, i don't feel bad that i missed that
5:10 pm
cybernan

it's spanish peter that I miss -- think it should be a proper noun
5:11 pm
hokie carla

I felt bad because I've seen it here before and was seeing phantom en6 all day
5:11 pm
hurshy

which makes sense
5:11 pm
hurshy

well if i don't feel bad then doesn't that mean that you shouldn't feel bad either
5:11 pm
hokie carla

struggling with the last re7
5:11 pm
hokie carla

got it, swore I tried that
5:11 pm
hurshy

my missing 4 was da4
5:12 pm
cybernan

can't find the first as 6
5:12 pm
hurshy

on a slant, as while skiing
5:12 pm
hokie carla

down to 9 s's and still have 2 4's. I am going to make a prediction they are 4's I entered already and that's why I don't know I need them.
5:13 pm
cybernan

don't ski
5:13 pm
hokie carla

what do they call the hills at the ski resorts? you don't have to ski to know that.
5:13 pm
hurshy

neither do i
5:14 pm
hurshy

but i still know what they call the hills when they ski on them
5:14 pm
hokie carla

s5
5:14 pm
hurshy

ok now gy6, also weird
5:14 pm
hokie carla

yep
5:14 pm
hurshy

don't feel bad for missing that one
5:15 pm
cybernan

ty -- didn't think of that as a slant or tilt
5:15 pm
hokie carla

I don't feel bad for missing sa4/8. that's just dumb.
5:15 pm
cybernan

that's me done -- any clues wanted before I leave?
5:16 pm
hokie carla

don't need any this second but thx. and congrats.
5:16 pm
cybernan

as are a lot of them, carla
5:16 pm
hurshy

don't feel bad about pe7/40, either!
5:16 pm
hokie carla

nope
5:17 pm
hokie carla

does anyone keep track of single tile stats? like is 60 the most p's we've had on one tile?
5:17 pm
hokie carla

wait, nan obviously got that sc7, did I miss a clue?
5:17 pm
hurshy

yeah, you did
5:18 pm
cybernan

the ones that I think take the cake are the op 9 and the pa 8
5:18 pm
jesdraggon

back in, how's everyone?
5:18 pm
hokie carla

did the clue scroll off already? I still can't see it.
5:19 pm
hokie carla

hey jes, down to 4 s's
5:19 pm
cybernan

sc 7 ends in what a model does for a photo
5:19 pm
hokie carla

oh yeah, I did type that but forgot to update my lickety page
5:21 pm
cybernan

off to wordle - bye everyone :)
5:21 pm
hokie carla

bye nan
5:22 pm
hokie carla

well, down to sy5 and can't seem to monkey it. but I'll keep trying.
5:22 pm
hokie carla

finally
5:22 pm
hokie carla

that's dumb
5:23 pm
hurshy

fw for me too!
5:23 pm
jesdraggon

thanks for the sc, nan
5:23 pm
jesdraggon

yay hokie! yay hurshy!
5:24 pm
hokie carla

lol, just tried mick in squaredle and got the excluded word message
5:28 pm
hokie carla

well, somehow it's 6:30. guess I better start dinner.
5:28 pm
hokie carla

see y'all tomorrow
5:30 pm
jesdraggon

have a nice evening, hokie
5:30 pm
72 Temple Owl

hate it when that happens in squardle
5:37 pm
hurshy

yeah i hate it when other word games don't take simple ordinary words like chiasm
5:41 pm
72 Temple Owl

um... i really would not classify that as simple or ordinary, as in used in daily conversation. if you look at the protocol for many of the sites, they want to make them accessible to all, not just for those who wish to show off their vocabulary of effete and not regularly encountered words, and now, to squardle. good night
5:41 pm
72 Temple Owl

you'll have to be satisfied with babble chat
5:42 pm
72 Temple Owl

time to turn it off and turn on the brain.
5:43 pm
jesdraggon

g'night, TO
5:43 pm
hurshy

it's this little thing called being tongue-in-cheek, lol
5:45 pm
jesdraggon

is chiasm not a common word? (I really don't have a gr5 gr5 (well that's awkward) on some words' real world usage)
5:46 pm
hurshy

i don't think many people know it, and even fewer use it often.
5:46 pm
hurshy

but when you're trying to hit a target in a spelling bee and you put it and it won't go you just want to make a lil joke about it being so unreasonable
5:47 pm
jesdraggon

okay. guess i really only know it from anatomy so once again my preference for books over actually talking to people strikes at me.
5:48 pm
hurshy

that's funny, i know it as a literary term
5:48 pm
hurshy

like Anna Karenina is structured as a chiasm
5:49 pm
hurshy

i didn't even know it was also a science thing
5:49 pm
jesdraggon

heh. in anatomy it's a kind of mix and cross, like an X
5:49 pm
hurshy

yes, it's like an X literarily too
5:49 pm
hurshy

because it comes from the greek letter chi which just looks like an X
5:49 pm
jesdraggon

I have only the most vague of memories of anna karenina and couldn't begin to describe the structure.
5:50 pm
jesdraggon

like what the nerves from your eyes do before they get to the brain
5:50 pm
hurshy

the love affair of Anna starts off all passionate and great and descends into alienation and despair, while the love affair of Kitty and her husband starts off awkward and lame and gets wonderful by the end
5:51 pm
jesdraggon

i see
5:51 pm
jesdraggon

that makes sense
5:51 pm
hurshy

don't you just love things that make sense
5:51 pm
jesdraggon

most of the time!
5:52 pm
hurshy

i once joked that i like the french-derived term "avoirdupois" for fatness, because it's like, "you're fat, you need to HAVE SOME PEAS"
5:53 pm
hurshy

but unFORTunately it turns out that it started out as avoirdupoids and somehow at some point in time the d got lost, so it really was just "have some pounds" which isn't nearly so entertaining
5:53 pm
hurshy

i still pretend it's my way anyway
5:53 pm
jesdraggon

huh. i never studied french so had no idea
5:54 pm
hurshy

well i assume you can see the humor anyway
5:54 pm
jesdraggon

it feels weird to list with 140 words left but I guess that's 2/3 of the grid found... this thing is huge.
5:55 pm
hurshy

it is always best to go by proportion, yeah
5:57 pm
jesdraggon

and the first word i got from lickety makes me question my brain function
5:58 pm
jesdraggon

ac4 - and didn't actually recognize it as a word until it had been accepted. bad brain, bad.
5:58 pm
hurshy

and now i must nourris mes chats
5:58 pm
jesdraggon

many pats and scritches to the deserving feline overlords!
5:59 pm
hurshy

there, there, jes. babble can always scramble the brain cells
6:01 pm
jesdraggon

hah. i am suffering from an6!
6:08 pm
hurshy

i've suffered from that my whole life - my doc just started me on a med that is helping a bit though
6:09 pm
jesdraggon

yay for helpful meds!
6:09 pm
jesdraggon

I am just tired from life, not a medical thing
6:17 pm
hurshy

a common complaint in the Western world, unfortunately.
6:18 pm
jesdraggon

so true
6:19 pm
jesdraggon

ugh. i swear i tried that cr7 3 times already
6:27 pm
MollyL

Frequently, fatigue is the result of emotional stress.
6:27 pm
jesdraggon

oh, i've got that in sp5s
6:30 pm
MollyL

It surprises me that doctors prescribe medication instead of therapy.
6:31 pm
jesdraggon

well, neither therapy nor medication will get rid of managerial nonsense, but medication makes it easier to focus the stress and rage.
6:34 pm
MollyL

Well, yeah. But being medicated instead of dealing with emotional issuesma not help.
6:35 pm
MollyL

"issues may
6:35 pm
jesdraggon

i'm sure that's true in many cases.
6:36 pm
BzznBea

depends on the doctor and the patient.
6:38 pm
BzznBea

most patients want to be medicated. it is so much easier than thinking about it.
6:39 pm
jesdraggon

also the 2 are not mutually exclusive
6:39 pm
MollyL

Definately depends on the patient
6:39 pm
jesdraggon

medication helps immediately, therapy takes a long time
6:39 pm
jesdraggon

but doing both can be more effective than either 1
6:40 pm
hurshy

in my case, the lack of energy has literally been lifelong. i didn't really run around and play like other kids. i've done lots of helpful talk therapy, and it's just not related. it took me a long time to even think about my constant lack of energy as something that was really not normal and ask if there might be something that could be done about it. i decided it was worth broaching the issue with my doctor, because i've so dreaded the idea of returning to full-time work, as 40 hours a week has left me feeling completely spent in the past. i wanted to feel like i could handle a life that is considered "normal".
6:41 pm
jesdraggon

did they get a diagnosis, hursh? or empiric treatment?
6:41 pm
hurshy

there's no diagnosis, no. hormone stuff is all "within normal range".
6:42 pm
hurshy

but i don't like being so far at the low end of the range
6:42 pm
MollyL

40 hours a week leaves me spent on a regular basis. And yet, the mortgage payment is still due.
6:42 pm
hurshy

well if you are content to live your life as you are living it, then i'm happy for you.
6:43 pm
BzznBea

hurshy, do you take b12 or d3?
6:43 pm
nrkii

40 hours a week is so much harder now ... but I also have an autoimmune disease that carries heavy fatigue with it.
6:44 pm
hurshy

i take a multivit with both of those, and methylated B because the one abnormal thing they did find was a genetic variation that means i don't absorb B vits unless they are methylated
6:44 pm
pam

I am glad you are getting some relief with the new med, hursh. And hi, all.
6:45 pm
hurshy

thank you pam :)
6:45 pm
pam

6:45 pm
MollyL

My life is fine, it's just difficult at times. And I don't have family members to pick up the pieces.
6:46 pm
hurshy

sorry you have this AID nrkii
6:46 pm
nrkii

Heh. I AM the family member to pick up the pieces. Sigh.
6:46 pm
BzznBea

here too, nelly
6:46 pm
nrkii

hurshy, meant to empathize, not complain... fatigue sucks
6:47 pm
MollyL

Extra stress
6:47 pm
hurshy

i know. i'm still sorry for you!
6:47 pm
nrkii

appreciate it :)
6:51 pm
pam

I feel for people with fatigue, and I know a few. Hugs to all of you. We never know what another is coping with, all we can do is listen and wish each other the best--unless a specific need is voicesd and we can meet it.
6:54 pm
hurshy

you're so kind, pam :)
6:55 pm
pam

thanks, hursh!
