the same, hun. Sleeping a lot. I told him to get back to his catheter schedule, he was getting sloppy. I think it might contribute to his being prone to inflammations

1:44 am

grannyrose

glad you were able to go back to sleep honey. i hate waking, and then just lying in the dark, unable to close my eyes again. some nightmares are awful.

1:44 am

1:54 am

sprite

roflol

2:09 am

grannyrose

did you used to do the Nutbush, sprite? back in the day? is it as popular over there as here? no event is ever over until The Nutbush is danced here. the exception being funerals i guess. hmmmm might make that my final request. everyone out in the carpark, going the Nutbush. is that whacky enough.

2:11 am

sprite

no, not as popular here

2:11 am

sprite

and yeah, that comes close to whacky enough for you. Almost. Should we all wear pink tutus?

2:12 am

grannyrose

2:12 am

sprite

but i know some people have trouble reading every post...

9:54 am

hokie carla

missed your second one

9:55 am

hokie carla

or I read it and missed that it was a 2nd word. I think because you said "and" my mind read it as another clue for same word and skimmed over it.

9:55 am

hurshy

free clue: change the X in ex7 to get another E7

9:56 am

hokie carla

9:58 am

MollyL

It is a word specifically for the manger scene

dcseain

ma7r is a word.

10:56 am

hurshy

are you sure? i mean the person is usually called a ma6ist, i think

11:09 am

hokie carla

I'm wondering why ethene isn't allowed on spelling bee

11:18 am

Gillie

I gather the creator of spelling bee maintains (and regularly modifies) his own word list, so you should let them know if you don't approve.

11:20 am

hokie carla

yeah, I used to do that a lot but gave up

11:21 am

Gillie

It does seem like ethylene is more commonly used

11:28 am

Gillie

Not that it doesn't take some pretty uncommon words

11:35 am

hokie carla

he takes some very uncommon words

11:35 am

bichon

like bibinbop

11:36 am

Gillie

really!

11:36 am

bichon

Korean food

11:37 am

Gillie

you mean bibimbap?

11:37 am

bichon

yes, spelled it wrong, sorry

11:38 am

Gillie

I have actually eaten bibimbap on more than one occasion

11:39 am

Gillie

my father used to make it sometimes - he liked Asian food

11:39 am

hokie carla

I think he picks words that new yorkers might know but not necessarily the rest of the country

11:40 am

hokie carla

yes, I know it's a new york paper

11:40 am

Gillie

Well, I'm not signed up, so I don't play it much, but one of the words it took today was "wight", which must be unusual even for New Yorkers

11:42 am

bichon

I'm an ex New Yorker and it is unusual

11:42 am

hokie carla

no idea what that means

11:43 am

bichon

really obscure

11:45 am

hokie carla

well, I just made it to genius with 49 words. looks like there are 66 today. a big one.

11:46 am

bichon

I play everyday. Mr. B often gets Queen Bee

11:49 am

hokie carla

I dropped a lot of daily games, incl going for queen bee. 11 words away now.

12:07 pm

Gillie

well, if you wanted to cheat, it seems like you can use advanced filters on morewords to generate a list of possible words for spelling bee - I came up with 128 words

12:07 pm

Gillie

but you probably don't want to cheat

12:09 pm

Gillie

anyway - it sound like you were doing quite well
