1:15 pm

hokie carla

now wondering if I have the tree

1:16 pm

moolingwa

1:17 pm

Gillie

Just found the B - Merriam-Webster says it's a "noisy festive celebration"

1:18 pm

hokie carla

the one I was talking about says alt sp of bingo

1:19 pm

Gillie

Same one - apparently the game preceded bingo

1:19 pm

hokie carla

I see

1:19 pm

moolingwa

must've been a gas

1:20 pm

Gillie

There's a theory that "bingo" was called out by accident instead of the original, and it stuck

1:20 pm

hokie carla

where did the game start?

1:20 pm

Gillie

In Britain

1:21 pm

Gillie

Actually, no, - in Atlanta

1:21 pm

moolingwa

Atlanta, Britain

1:22 pm

hokie carla

😁

1:22 pm

moolingwa

I do declare, eh what

1:22 pm

Gillie

Aaah, that's not right either: "In the early 1920s, Hugh J. Ward created and standardized the game at carnivals in and around Pittsburgh and the Western Pennsylvania area. "

1:22 pm

Gillie

I don't know where I got Britain from

1:22 pm

moolingwa

I blame russian bots

1:23 pm

hokie carla

just found a very regular H4. like, it's on my head.

1:24 pm

moolingwa

hats off again I guess

1:25 pm

1:25 pm

moolingwa

0-1-3-1

1:25 pm

hokie carla

1:30 pm

hokie carla

decided to list. of course my t's I thought I already had.

1:35 pm

moolingwa

still 5

1:35 pm

hokie carla

still 10

1:38 pm

hokie carla

okay 7 left after going through the whole list

1:38 pm

hokie carla

remind me what you have left so I can ask for clues of what you have

1:38 pm

moolingwa

well, still 5

1:38 pm

moolingwa

R S D D O

1:38 pm

hokie carla

yes, which 5

1:39 pm

hokie carla

ok, those are 5 of my 7 🤣

1:40 pm

moolingwa

heh

1:41 pm

moolingwa

well I think we have different ones on the left D

1:41 pm

moolingwa

assuming your bad luck one is off that

1:41 pm

hokie carla

yeah, my 2 on the left look like a set

1:41 pm

moolingwa

well there's a d6 on the left D

1:41 pm

moolingwa

the obscure tree

1:42 pm

hokie carla

the bad luck one is on the middle d

1:42 pm

moolingwa

a

1:42 pm

moolingwa

ah

1:42 pm

moolingwa

then I have your other d there

1:43 pm

hokie carla

looked up the o. we've had it before here but it's ridiculous.

1:43 pm

hokie carla

okay, I think it's a de6/24 from there

1:43 pm

hokie carla

if you have a clue

1:43 pm

moolingwa

yep

1:44 pm

moolingwa

kinda similar (one letter different) than to remove smells

1:45 pm

hokie carla

oh, I remember that tree

1:45 pm

hokie carla

so then I don't have a set. I now have a 5 and a 6 and no idea from which D.

1:45 pm

moolingwa

:)

1:45 pm

hokie carla

oh, found the 5

1:45 pm

moolingwa

I'm guessing 6 on the left

1:46 pm

hokie carla

yep

1:46 pm

moolingwa

which would mean you have my d from that side too

1:46 pm

hokie carla

think I've narrowed down the 3rd letter

1:47 pm

hokie carla

yep, found it

1:47 pm

moolingwa

golden!

1:47 pm

hokie carla

was just going to guess that for you

1:47 pm

moolingwa

oh, found my d on the left

1:48 pm

moolingwa

apparently it's to try to dissuade

1:48 pm

hokie carla

prob the one I just found if you had golden already

1:48 pm

hokie carla

yep

1:48 pm

moolingwa

yeah, I had golden already

1:48 pm

moolingwa

and the d5, I imagine would be something you might use that b5 to do ;)

1:49 pm

hokie carla

now 2 R's and S left

1:50 pm

moolingwa

R S D O left for me

1:51 pm
