12:32 am

cybernan

12:33 am

12:35 am

Kind of a cool word, though, surprised I haven't come across it while reading, maybe.

12:44 am

cybernan

oh - going cross eyed -- that's sh 8 not x 8

12:44 am

Gillie

I was wondering what you meant

12:45 am

justafreep

I'm still at sh7 x 6, fwiw, nan. But I knew what you were thinking!

Gillie

cr7 x 2

12:46 am

cybernan

I'm off -- really getting tired of all the odd words in this game

12:47 am

Gillie

well, you got the 10, and that's pretty odd

12:50 am

jeanne314

stats for the 4th column R, pretty please!

12:51 am

Gillie

re9, I think?

12:51 am

jeanne314

oh, lord. sigh. Many thanks, Gillie!

12:53 am

Gillie

the co9 is still eluding me, but I think I'll leave it for now

12:54 am

Gillie

oh - no, got it (kind of a weird one)

12:55 am

jeanne314

Gillie, I got that co9 by monkeying. Is it legit to say the part of speech as part of the clue? I don't want to break any of our group's "rules" of play...

12:56 am

jeanne314

Good for you! Glad you got it!

12:56 am

jeanne314

12:56 am

Gillie

ty - good night, all

12:56 am

jeanne314

scuze me

1:01 am

rbud

I believe it's fine to mention that it's a gerund, if that's what you mean, I see that often as a clue. Same as past tense, etc.

1:03 am

rbud

btw, the sc 10 is also a gerund. ;p

1:08 am

dcseain

thanks, rbud

1:09 am

rbud

10:13 am

cybernan

good morning everyone :)

10:24 am

cybernan

I only have the 2 sh 8's mentioned --- is there a third that comes first? Chat is getting confusing

10:27 am

cybernan

guess everyone has gone

10:28 am

swmbo

I just got here. How are you today?

10:29 am

cybernan

getting better -- you?

10:30 am

swmbo

I am great. Were you ill?

10:32 am

cybernan

dislocated my shoulder and have a hill -sachs fracture

10:33 am

swmbo

Yikes!

10:34 am

mkg

Hi all. Some are still here. Nan wishing you a fast recovery.

10:34 am

mkg

Grin

10:34 am

mkg

oops sorry

10:34 am

cybernan

ty mkg

10:36 am

swmbo

Is this recent? I am not in the chat often enough to pick up all the goings on

10:38 am

cybernan

did it 2 weeks ago

10:39 am

swmbo

So how long do they figure it will take to heal?

10:40 am

cybernan

8 weeks and probably never completely -- so will be more prone to shoulder dislocations now. If it comes out again it may involve surgery.

10:41 am

swmbo

Oh that’s terrible!

10:42 am

swmbo

Is it your dominant side?

10:42 am

cybernan

yes

10:42 am

mkg

Ouch. Hope you dont need surgery and hope with PT you can keep the shoulder in good shape. Exercize does wonders and doctors said i needed neck surgery and never had it due to over a year of PT.

10:43 am

cybernan

the fracture is acutally a dent in the ball of the humerus. Described to me as if you had pushed in the side of a pingpong ball.

10:43 am

mkg

Does anyone have meanings or clues for the. 9s and 10? Ty

10:44 am

swmbo

I agree with mkg. And be careful! Of course I know I don’t need to tell you that.

10:44 am

BzznBea

Nan, I think the sh8 you are missing is sh8.55.

10:44 am

cybernan

sc 10/126

10:44 am

ChampFit

I have 2 9's and the 10.

10:44 am

mkg

Nan that sounds so painful. Wow. Hoping that the doctors will get you lots of PT to figure out exercizes that will keep you in good shape.

10:44 am

mkg

Did you fall nan? Or how did this happen?

10:45 am

cybernan

re 9/72, co 9/78 (still missing one 9)

10:45 am

ChampFit

The 10 comes from a root that rhymes with chowder.

10:45 am

ChampFit

de 9/72 and re 9 72

10:45 am

cybernan

yes, I fell and hit a wing chair on the way down

10:46 am

MollyL

Five out of ten letters, easy for the 10

10:46 am

MollyL

Ouch Nan

10:47 am

ChampFit

off again...so sorry nan! Hope you're better soon.

10:47 am

mkg

Molly i am sure that clue makes sense but right now dont get it. Ty for clues.

10:48 am

mkg

Nan those wing chairs can be very dangerous!!!!!!! Or anything else we hit…so sorry. Have a total recovery! Think positively that you wont need surgery and will keep up PT as long as you can.

10:48 am

cybernan

sh 10; bathing under a stream of water with an extra letter thrown in

10:48 am

MollyL

She gave you five out of 10 letters and you don't get it 🙄

10:49 am

cybernan

sorry that was sc 10

10:49 am

MollyL

There is no sh10

10:49 am

cybernan

rhymes with the bathing part

10:51 am

cybernan

think I've done about all I can do without the list

10:52 am

mkg

Bathing part??????huh? Not getting the ten. Sc hmmmm

10:52 am

mkg

I have an sc 6 and 5. But not seeing how to get more

10:53 am

mkg

I have first 4 i am sure and the 7 has the ending we all love. But not seeing a ten there

10:54 am

mkg

I have past tense as well for the sc 4.

10:55 am

swmbo

Mkg try putting a d into the middle of what you have.

10:56 am

cybernan

look at 10;48 clue and change the h to a c. We've practically spelled it out for you now

10:56 am

swmbo

It is an odd word I think

10:57 am

cybernan

bs on the co 6/33

11:03 am

cybernan

anyone have a clue on the ec 7 please?

11:07 am

cybernan

11:12 am

11:13 am

MollyL

11:13 am

mkg

I GOT IT. I GOT IT!!!!!!! WOW. YEAH!

mkg

Never saw or heard that word before. But ty for clues.

11:14 am

11:14 am

mkg

Any help with any 9s welcome. Dont have those either.

11:15 am

swmbo

Molly have you never been word blind? It is right there in front of you but you can’t see it. Give mkg a break.
