hurshy

8:25 am

hokie carla

was thinking bea's C in place of a Q and thought that could be anything, but then saw it. no ideas on boston suburbs though. and now still need 1 Q. also need 1 U.

8:26 am

hurshy

well the boston suburb is the 6/33 (same deal, would have C instead of S)

8:26 am

hurshy

and as i suggested, you might need the first qu5/16

8:27 am

hokie carla

I figured that out ;)

8:27 am

hokie carla

the first one I have usually has an e in front

8:27 am

hurshy

ok then that's not it

8:27 am

hurshy

8:27 am

hokie carla

8:28 am

BzznBea

8:34 am

hurshy

nice time for us vegetarians :)

8:34 am

rururocks

BOAR'S HEAD? WHAT?

8:34 am

hokie carla

until there's a lettuce e. coli outbreak

8:35 am

hurshy

i don't eat lettuce much either, it would have to be kale

8:35 am

hokie carla

are you saying you don't know boars head, ru?

8:35 am

welki

(and the reverse image search engine is here, too)

8:35 am

rururocks

no.. I don't

8:35 am

hurshy

i think he's expressing shock and concern rather than ignorance of the brand

8:36 am

hurshy

Ts Toppled!

8:36 am

hokie carla

the oldest was very sick last Sat. and ate at a deli the day before. I told him he should call and ask if they use that.

8:36 am

welki

wowsa - boars' head has (had) a pretty good reputation, at least in nyc

8:37 am

hurshy

phantom: etna

8:37 am

hokie carla

yeah, I was surprised

8:37 am

hokie carla

I also thought they were canadian for some reason but this article says they are in VA. https://tinyurl.com/bdew2h9d

8:37 am

hokie carla

I always buy them because everything is gluten free.

8:37 am

penquis

there is a Boar's Head Inn in VA, I think.....

8:38 am

hurshy

isn't meat generally gluten free...?

8:38 am

hokie carla

yes, but you'd be surprised

8:38 am

welki

fillers, hursh - some put wheat in

8:38 am

hokie carla

fillers, seasonings

8:39 am

hurshy

to quote the wicked witch of the west... "what a world, what a world"

8:39 am

hokie carla

well, I gotta walk winston before it reaches 1000 degrees outside. 29 left still. 6-9-9-5

8:40 am

MollyL

Boar's Head is sold in grocery stores across the US. My guess is that Ru doesn't buy much at the deli.

8:40 am

hurshy

i gtg too, 1 H, 2 E, and all the S for lunchtime!

8:40 am

rururocks

I don't buy anything at delis

8:42 am

MollyL

We low budget shoppers must exist on cold cuts now and then

8:42 am

rururocks

I just make stuff fresh here mostly

8:42 am

rururocks

I do buy egg salad from one market as it's better than mine

8:44 am

MollyL

I make my own salads but it's kind of hard to make your own cold cuts

8:45 am

rururocks

never saw anything like boar's head out here.. that's a weird name for a brand though

8:51 am

MollyL

A boar's head is a symbol for greatness in battle gear

8:51 am

rururocks

well.. ok... I haven't been to battle for a while though

8:52 am

MollyL

I'm surprised you haven't heard of the Boar's Head brand. It's been around since the 1900's.

8:53 am

Soodle

I hope you enjoyed Scotland, Ru. I didn’t want to alarm you last week, but I was very close to you! I was in the Lake District in the NW of England.

8:55 am

rururocks

Scotland was beautiful. Magical. The people were really warm, friendly, helpful, and engaging too. We had a great time. that's the scary thing Soodle... I'd recognize you and you wouldn't know it is me :D

8:57 am

Soodle

Ha. Good job I resisted the temptation to stalk you so. (I AM joking).

8:58 am

rururocks

you're fortunate to live in such a beautiful area. Everywhere we looked was like a post card.

8:58 am

rururocks

We were actually quite close to Ireland when we visited Islay.

8:59 am

Soodle

I must agree with you there. It’s a nice little corner of the world.

9:04 am

rururocks

the weather leaves a little to be desired though. Although we had fairly decent weather (according to the locals) while we were there.. some rain but not too bad

9:05 am

rururocks

and it wouldn't be the first time I was stalked :D

9:05 am

Soodle

Yep. Ireland would be perfect if it had a roof on it.

9:07 am

origami

The wind on Islay was amazing. I don't think there is anything between the arctic circle and Islay :D

9:07 am

rururocks

My irish friend goes to Ireland 4 times a year.

9:08 am

rururocks

Islay was all that wind swept, stark , raw beauty

9:09 am

rururocks

great distilleries too especially for Ori and Saanich

9:10 am

origami

Yes! Though Tobermory was my favorite.

9:10 am

Soodle

I devoleped quire a taste for Drambuie in Scotland

9:10 am

rururocks

mine too...

9:11 am

MollyL

No wonder they make such good Scotch in Islay.

9:12 am

rururocks

that's peat central .. Islay

9:13 am

rururocks

I haven't tasted Drambuie in decades.

9:13 am

rururocks

this was a super easy grid today

9:36 am

rururocks

got to hit the freeways.. have fun everyone

9:43 am

origami

Have a nice day, ru

10:47 am

MollyL

I disagree with super easy. But I am not the brainiac that Ru is.

10:50 am

hokie carla

rehi - I also disagree with supreme word nerd

10:57 am

hokie carla

have made it to 18 left. 4-3-7-4. that is why it's not easy. too many 6's.

11:00 am

hokie carla

hmm, have the 4. will look, thanks

11:02 am

hokie carla

11:03 am

hokie carla

11:15 am

hokie carla

11:15 am

moolingwa

11:15 am

moolingwa

yeah, seems easier than average

11:16 am

hokie carla

11:16 am

moolingwa

11:16 am

hokie carla

moolingwa

2OFOET

11:17 am

hokie carla

watching olympic volleyball but the sound is slightly ahead, so the whistle is before the dead ball and the announcer seems to have ESP

11:18 am

moolingwa

pretty impressive

11:18 am

MollyL

Too bad you can't place a bet

11:19 am

hokie carla

it's just a smidge. so subtle it took me a minute to put all that together.

11:20 am

hokie carla

also when they showed the coaches at timeouts, before I realized I was like, are they dubbing him?

11:20 am

moolingwa

I have to admit the Olympics have no draw for me

11:21 am

hokie carla

I love the olympics, always have

11:21 am

moolingwa

how do these ones compare to others for you?

11:22 am

BzznBea

me too, carla

11:22 am

moolingwa

4 to go btw

11:22 am

Shirlockc

i love olympics, watching the weoman's all around gymnastics

11:22 am

moolingwa

0-1-1-2

11:22 am

hokie carla

oh, I forgot that was at 12:15.

11:22 am

hokie carla

thanks, shirl

11:22 am

Shirlockc

they just started the broadcast

11:23 am

hokie carla

guess I'll never know if the netherlands stay in this volleyball or lose

11:24 am

hokie carla

not ignoring your question, moo, just not sure how to answer

11:24 am

Shirlockc

i am "working" so i shouldn't do any digital online watching -- just have the TV on in the background and they didn't do volleyball (which I love) this morning, swimming heats and 3 on 3 basketball (don't care)

11:24 am

moolingwa

it's okay

11:25 am

MollyL

Not an Olympics lover

11:25 am

hokie carla

as a sewist, I have to say these leotards are beautiful

11:26 am

Shirlockc

i have the same complaint every year, yes, I know you paid bzaillions for the rights NBC, which means you need to show Americans, but come on, I don't need to see endless facial expressesion not if you can show another routine in the meantime

11:27 am

hokie carla

lol, we were laughing during the women's team gymnastics that you would think there were only 3 teams and then suddenly they mentioned like canada. Oh, they're in it too?

11:29 am

Shirlockc

the men's all around, up until the last rotation, any 5 could have placed and they were showing the americans (yes impressive) but they weren't going to place -- they didn't even show the full routines of the top 5

11:30 am

moolingwa

3

11:30 am

moolingwa

all s's left...a 6 and 2 7s

11:30 am

hokie carla

still 16

11:31 am

BzznBea

26 here

11:31 am

hokie carla

think I'm going to have to pause this for lunch and shower. someone find my words while I'm gone.

11:41 am

moolingwa

found the 6...

12:05 pm

hokie carla

well, I didn't pause it and now simone is in 2nd and I missed it

12:06 pm

BzznBea

she had a fall

12:07 pm

hokie carla

oh noes

12:08 pm

Shirlockc

not quite a fall, but on the uneven bars, simone almost kneed the floor as she swung down -- something about her catch being off

12:09 pm

hokie carla

I thought it was funny that they showed all those legends in the audience and Laurie Hernandez was tickled pink about Seth Rogen.

12:11 pm

Shirlockc

another opportunity to show another ROUTINE -- i really don't care who's in the audience, all the people who can fly to Paris and get tickets, why should I care? I want to see routines

12:12 pm

Shirlockc

wow, nice routine from suni lee on the uneven bars

12:13 pm

hokie carla

yeah, they do that all the time, even in non-olympic things like wimbledon

12:14 pm

hokie carla

we get it, celebrities have money and connections

12:14 pm

MollyL

It's like watching football and having to see shots of Taylor Swift in the audience. A big NO THANK YOU to that.

12:14 pm

Shirlockc

right? that's how the world works money or influence

12:24 pm

BzznBea

namaste

12:49 pm

hokie carla

rehi - I think I will list

12:53 pm

hurshy

hi all

12:53 pm

hokie carla

hey

12:53 pm

hurshy

just back to do the Ss and a few other missing words

12:54 pm

hurshy

but the Ss seem kinda weird

12:54 pm

hokie carla

we get it, it's super easy for you and moo and ruru

12:56 pm

hokie carla

wow, I missed the jedi rival

12:57 pm

hurshy

1:00 pm

hurshy

1:01 pm

hurshy

1:02 pm

hokie carla

1:04 pm

moolingwa

1:04 pm

moolingwa

1:04 pm

hurshy

1:04 pm

hokie carla

1:04 pm

moolingwa

you're going to just give it away ;)

1:05 pm

hurshy

thanks mool

1:05 pm

hokie carla

1:05 pm

saanichcat

use the sometimes vowel for second e

1:05 pm

hokie carla

and my H is not hyena

1:05 pm

hurshy

after the jedi rival but before the si6?

1:05 pm

hokie carla

thanks, saan

1:05 pm

moolingwa

there's an odd h5

1:06 pm

moolingwa

ah, found that si7

1:06 pm

moolingwa

so just an s7 off the other s

1:06 pm

hurshy

oooh i needed that h5, thanks mool

1:07 pm

hokie carla

I need se6 from the other S

1:07 pm

moolingwa

yeah, that's an odd word

1:07 pm

hurshy

aha, got that at last too - had tried singular of that si7 but not pl

1:07 pm

hurshy

i need se6 also!

1:07 pm

hokie carla

luckily bea told me about the s7 you need earlier, moo

1:07 pm

moolingwa

ah

1:08 pm

hokie carla

got the se6. have seen it before here.

1:08 pm

hurshy

it's not sennet

1:08 pm

hurshy

or sennit

1:08 pm

hokie carla

now the si7 and h5 are all I have left.

1:08 pm

hokie carla

brass coin from tonga

1:08 pm

hurshy

hy + not daughter

1:09 pm

moolingwa

those currencies

1:09 pm

hokie carla

thanks. not sure I would've ever gotten to that.

1:09 pm

moolingwa

yeah, was a pure guess for me

1:09 pm

hurshy

clue the se6?

1:09 pm

hokie carla

I just did! you don't know tongan coins?

1:10 pm

moolingwa

has three vowels in it, including ending with a vowel

1:10 pm

hurshy

ohhh i didn't know which one you were referring to

1:10 pm

hurshy

ok got it now

1:11 pm

moolingwa

fw

1:11 pm

hurshy

now MY last word is an S4 so i should be able to monkey it

1:11 pm

hokie carla

looked up the si7 for fireworks

1:11 pm

hurshy

done

1:11 pm

moolingwa

sure

1:11 pm

hokie carla

obsolete, of course it was

1:12 pm

moolingwa

the two s7s were my last words, the s6 was my 3rd to last, and that h was my 4th to last

1:12 pm

moolingwa

but otherwise...

1:12 pm

hurshy

well done us!

1:12 pm

moolingwa

we make a great team

1:12 pm

hokie carla

I'm going to tell ruru he must be obsolete if those were easy

1:13 pm

moolingwa

ru always exaggerates the easiness :)

1:16 pm

hokie carla

agreed, I never trust him

1:19 pm

hokie carla

shirl, are you still here?

1:19 pm

Shirlockc

hallooooo

1:19 pm

Shirlockc

suni lee!!!!

1:19 pm

hokie carla

yeah, that was great

1:20 pm

hokie carla

I just wanted to say I think it's dumb they make the gymnasts wear numbers pinned to their leos. there's one person competing at a time on an apparatus and they know who everyone is!

1:22 pm

hurshy

maybe some of the judges are old and can use the extra info

1:23 pm

hurshy

in case they get confused

1:23 pm

Shirlockc

lol with the numbers

1:24 pm

Shirlockc

that andrade was good too

1:24 pm

Shirlockc

they're all amazing, i can't even do a cartwheel lol

1:26 pm

hokie carla

I used to be able to do a cartwheel and a roundoff but would probably get really dizzy now.

1:27 pm

hokie carla

I used to do cartwheels if I scored in soccer into my late 40s but last time I did one wasn't great.

1:27 pm

hokie carla

beautiful, simone

1:28 pm

Shirlockc

that was great, good for Simone. now to swimming! go Summer Mcintosh!
