So do you just close your eyes and type?
7:56 am
hokie carla
of course
7:56 am
ChampFit
I get it....happens to me too.
7:56 am
MollyL
It might be a better way to play this game
7:57 am
ChampFit
With this many words, whatever you type is likely to be something.
7:57 am
MollyL
I am not regimented enough to go letter by letter. I just look for any words I can find.
7:57 am
hokie carla
well, it ends up that way for me on a grid this big

Seems I already had to base word.
8:33 am
ChampFit
I'd like to know why you can't add "est" to the 7
8:35 am
crosshair
I think because we usually see "most" placed afterwards.
8:36 am
ChampFit
That makes sense! Also the fact that Enable is goofy.
8:36 am

It always has been an odd thing.
8:38 am

As I wait for the expected storm this afternoon in western Washington state, I'm reminded of that Mother Goose poem my mom recited to me.
The north wind doth blow,
And we shall have snow,
And what will the robin do then, poor thing?
He'll sit in a barn,
And keep himself warm,
And hide his head under his wing, poor thing!

5:46 pm
moolingwa
well, going to run out of time
5:46 pm
hokie carla

6:45 pm
hokie carla

hurshy
"A man was born before his father, killed his mother, and married his sister. Yet there was nothing wrong with what he had done. Why?"
6:49 pm
hurshy
and the comment on it "I don't know, but he'll be Trump's next cabinet pick."
6:49 pm
BzznBea
Above my pay grade.
6:50 pm
hokie carla
but yeah, I am not a riddle fan
6:50 pm
hurshy

11:06 pm
grannyrose

11:06 pm
hurshy
permission to sit and vegetate always granted by ME
11:07 pm
grannyrose

11:07 pm
hurshy

11:08 pm
hurshy

11:08 pm
grannyrose
may i help?
11:08 pm
hurshy
i am currently seeking one of the last 2 te5/10s
11:09 pm
grannyrose
sea bird with an extra vowel on the end?
11:10 pm
hurshy
no it's after the plural of that
11:10 pm
grannyrose
maybe the electric car?
11:10 pm
hurshy
there's the plural without the vowel and one other, yes!
11:11 pm
hurshy
silly of me, i even have a picture of him on my Wall o' Admiration
11:11 pm
grannyrose
* giggle *
11:11 pm
hurshy
it is a wall with all pics of people i admire
11:12 pm
grannyrose
what a lovely idea Hurshy.
11:12 pm
hurshy
yeah i like it
11:12 pm
hurshy
authors, actors, people who have had a positive impact on the world or on me
11:13 pm
grannyrose
nice.
11:13 pm
hurshy
i made Alan Turing's the largest because it makes me so mad how he got treated after the war
11:14 pm
grannyrose
ikr? so narrow-minded of people back then.
11:14 pm
hurshy
i guess that was how the wall started. i said, "in my house, sir, you shall be honored!"
11:14 pm
hurshy
and then i thought of honoring more people too
11:16 pm
hurshy
ok well the kits are waiting, wondering, ok mom, when are you going to bed?? (cause they get treats right before bed...)
11:16 pm
hurshy
hope you have a good day granny, tell sprite i say hi :)
11:16 pm
grannyrose
i guess that's why we have pics of past family and present. but i like the idea of extending that to people outside family and friends.
11:16 pm
grannyrose
will do hurshy. sweet dreams
