9:42 am

MollyL

Or to put your name on a document again

MollyL

Oh she isn't asking for a combination

9:43 am

9:58 am

hokie carla

11:38 am

mael

hello

11:43 am

MollyL

Chilly up north? It feels like 27 here.

11:46 am

mael

cold today yeah! but seasonable all in all

11:47 am

moolingwa

morning all

11:49 am

mael

I spend my mornings arguing with my son about wearing a jacket

12:08 pm

mael

FW!

12:11 pm

MollyL

I find nothing "seasonable" about 27 freezing degrees.

1:24 pm

lideola

the Z is annoying

1:32 pm

MollyL

Why? There are no Z words

1:35 pm

lideola

but there is at least 1 with a Z in it. Having to consider it while monkeying words is annoying.

1:35 pm

MollyL

How do you know there is at least one with a z in it?

1:36 pm

lideola

because I have at least 1 word in my word list that has a Z in it

1:39 pm

MollyL

I wouldn't let it get in your way. There are not that many words with z in them.

1:40 pm

lideola

Its a visual thing- it gets in the way when working with the letters surrounding it.

1:51 pm

MollyL

I would rate this one not so fun. Lots of stupid words.

2:03 pm

lideola

Agreed. This is one I don't really care about completing.

2:29 pm

hokie carla

well, I found one with a z earlier

2:30 pm

hokie carla

but I still have 25 left

2:31 pm

hokie carla

need to walk winston before the sun gets too low (too late!)

2:50 pm

MollyL

The sun isn't helping much today. Cold and windy. It makes me want to hibernate until Spring.

3:03 pm

hokie carla

yep

3:17 pm

MollyL

It used to take temperatures in the teens to make me feel cold. Now it's anything below 40. Age is a bitch.

3:20 pm

hokie carla

I was definitely underdressed and ended up only walking .7 mile. Mr. Homie went on a bike ride!!! and said it was the coldest he'd been on ever.

3:24 pm

MollyL

It is depressing that it's this cold when it isn't even winter yet.

3:25 pm

MollyL

But hey, 50's next week.

3:29 pm

hokie carla

60s and rain here next week

3:40 pm

MollyL

Better than 20's and snow

3:51 pm

hokie carla

6:32 pm

7:23 pm

BzznBea

Need 4 there

7:23 pm

hurshy

same

7:23 pm

hokie carla

of course one of my last ones was the very regular su7 that I often miss

7:24 pm

hokie carla

there's a set of sa6/7 that is a fish I've never heard of

7:25 pm

hurshy

i have two sa6/7 combos... are there more?

7:25 pm

hokie carla

no

7:26 pm

hurshy

and your su7, you mean the compound one?

7:26 pm

hokie carla

yes

7:27 pm

hurshy

having trouble with P also, five missing

7:28 pm

hokie carla

there is a group of 4 su words that sound like an overlocker machine

7:29 pm

hokie carla

there are 4 words that have the oinker in it

7:29 pm

hokie carla

you prob need py6/7

7:29 pm

BzznBea

gracias

7:30 pm

hokie carla

de nada

7:30 pm

hurshy

overlocker??

7:31 pm

hokie carla

or an electric su5 might damage your tv

7:31 pm

hurshy

ah

7:31 pm

hurshy

yes, i somehow missed those four

7:31 pm

hurshy

but what is an overlocker machine?

7:32 pm

hurshy

ok need the py pair and most of the oinker words!

7:32 pm

BzznBea

Used to stitch seams on fabric

7:33 pm

BzznBea

or the edges of the fabric

7:33 pm

hurshy

oh

7:34 pm

hurshy

got a pair of words with the oinker!

7:37 pm

hurshy

Ps Pummelled!

7:37 pm

hokie carla

in US it's called a serger but in Europe an overlocker

7:37 pm

hurshy

but serge is also a type of fabric, right?

7:40 pm

BzznBea

yes

7:40 pm

hurshy

is that somehow related to the machine?

7:40 pm

BzznBea

It's like twill

7:41 pm

BzznBea

Change the first vowel in the fabric/machine

7:41 pm

hurshy

oh i GOT the words

7:41 pm

hurshy

i'm just asking if the fabric and the machine are related

7:42 pm

hokie carla

if you look in a t-shirt or something with side seams, that was made with a serger/overlocker. it also has a knife that cuts as it sews.

7:42 pm

hokie carla

I do not know much about the fabric.

7:42 pm

hurshy

that's funny because i've heard of the fabric but not the machine!

7:43 pm

hurshy

and i have 4 words left!

7:43 pm

hurshy

they spell several words but all of those words are in the grid so i can't say them

7:43 pm

hurshy

got the T!

7:44 pm

hokie carla

totally terrific

7:45 pm

hokie carla

there is another type of fabric called muslin, but that word has come to mean the same as toile, or a practice garment you make to get the fit right before using your good stuff. I was so confused by that when I first heard it because I knew the fabric.

7:46 pm

BzznBea

Greyed the U.

7:46 pm

hurshy

toile is the fabric that has pictures of like pastoral scenes on it

7:46 pm

hurshy

i love that stuff

7:46 pm

BzznBea

Twill is like what khakis might be made of.

7:47 pm

hurshy

people seem to mix up toile and tulle a lot, i've seen that

7:47 pm

hokie carla

yeah, forgot that's also a fabric! so to recap, toile and muslin are fabrics but also practice or fitting garments. serge is fabric but also a seam.

7:48 pm

hurshy

well i know about muslin from little house :D

7:48 pm

BzznBea

I lived in a house that had a room with red and white toile wallpaper and matching drapes. egad!

7:48 pm

hokie carla

I'm watching this new doc on hulu about the 2004 tsunami. Very crazy and very sad.

7:48 pm

hurshy

they had a convo about why blankets can be all once piece but not sheets (at that time they had to sew sheets from two pieces, so they had a seam up the middle)

7:49 pm

hurshy

"because sheets are made of muslin, and muslin isn't wide enough for a sheet."

7:49 pm

hurshy

that tsunami is probably the worst thing that has happened in my lifetime, yeah

7:50 pm

hurshy

i mean the worst natural disaster, at least

7:50 pm

hurshy

i am kind of jealous of your toile room Bea

7:50 pm

BzznBea

Sounds correct, hurshy. Muslin was and still is used in the making of a lot of quilts.

7:50 pm

hurshy

and also can you tell me which upper U i might be missing?

7:51 pm

BzznBea

un6.30

7:51 pm

hurshy

you mean unwept, unhonored, and un6?

7:51 pm

hurshy

i have that

7:53 pm

hokie carla

well that would've been my guess too, un6/30. no idea what you are saying.

7:54 pm

hurshy

i also need an S, one of these two is a 5 and one is a 6

7:54 pm

hokie carla

oh, there are two. I guess you have the 2nd one.

7:55 pm

hokie carla

un6 ends with I am, you are, she **

7:55 pm

hurshy

i'm talking about sir walter scott, also quoted by andie macdowell in groundhog day

7:55 pm

hurshy

aHA thank you

7:55 pm

hurshy

and bea

7:55 pm

hurshy

ok so S5

7:55 pm

hokie carla

which S?

7:55 pm

hurshy

phantom: segue

7:55 pm

hurshy

oh i got it! FW!

7:56 pm

hokie carla

ok, one of my last ones was se5, a regular babblet but I missed it today

7:56 pm

hokie carla

congrats

7:56 pm

hurshy

The wretch, concentred all in self,
Living, shall forfeit fair renown,
And, doubly dying, shall go down
To the vile dust from whence he sprung,
Unwept, unhonored , and un6

7:57 pm

hurshy

i can definitely think of some famous people who i can only hope that will eventually prove true about...

7:57 pm

penquis

7:57 pm

hokie carla

pen! I bet I can.

7:58 pm

hokie carla

well maybe

7:58 pm

penquis

carla!

7:58 pm

hokie carla

7:59 pm

hokie carla

oh, means the absence of pee

8:00 pm

penquis

8:00 pm

penquis

does the first pi 6 start with the animal?

8:01 pm

hokie carla

yes

8:01 pm

penquis

8:02 pm

hokie carla

8:02 pm

hokie carla

looks like it might be collateral for a debt in roman law

8:03 pm

penquis

8:03 pm

hokie carla

8:03 pm

BzznBea

LOL!
