10:42 am

rururocks

anyone have the cl7? I sure can't find it.. my last word

10:44 am

rururocks

...and in a Peri move, he stumbles upon it...

10:44 am

rururocks

never mind

11:02 am

hokie carla

I only have 2 CL words, is it related to either?

11:10 am

rururocks

not really

11:10 am

rururocks

starts with the same three letters though ends with a rich person's boat

11:15 am

hokie carla

but add another vowel in, thanks

11:15 am

hokie carla

any help on the N? I can only find 2 so I'm wondering if the other 3 are a group I'm not seeing

11:17 am

rururocks

one ne4 plus a group of nu5/6/6

11:17 am

rururocks

and then one last nu4

11:18 am

hokie carla

ok, I have the 2 4's. will look for the group, thanks

11:18 am

rururocks

similar to saying many in spanish

11:18 am

penquis

ty, ru....finished that N for me....hello all....

11:18 am

hokie carla

pen!

11:19 am

penquis

carla!

11:19 am

rururocks

hi lurker

11:19 am

hokie carla

ok, got them all, thanks. and HOET!

11:19 am

rururocks

how are you doing pen better?

11:22 am

penquis

doing ok...ups and downs....today i hurt my leg playing tennis....area behind the knee....weird.....

11:22 am

penquis

thanks for asking, ru....

11:22 am

hokie carla

I think that

11:23 am

hokie carla

that's the lower end of you hamstring, pen

11:23 am

penquis

would it affect an area just above the knee area and one just below the knee (both on the back side of the leg)....my knee is ok....having trouble putting weight on that leg....

11:24 am

rururocks

probably be careful pen you could pull a hammy.. do careful stretching exercises before playing

11:24 am

rururocks

it could be you stretched your meniscus as well

11:25 am

penquis

thanks for the help....

11:26 am

rururocks

i tore a meniscus with similar symptoms

11:26 am

penquis

good to know....

11:27 am

hokie carla

got this off the googles...There are many different causes for pain behind the knee on activity, such as arthritis or a Baker's cyst, as well as injuries, such as a meniscus tear, anterior or posterior cruciate ligament injury or hamstring injury.

11:27 am

hurshy

i'm in trouble already on the N

11:27 am

hokie carla

ruru just clued it for me if you give up, hurshy

11:27 am

rururocks

I wish I could still play tennis

11:27 am

hurshy

"it"? i only have one!

11:28 am

hokie carla

I only had 2 4's, but there's a group of nu5/6/6

11:28 am

hurshy

ok, i found the other 4 now, yes, please clue the group

11:28 am

rururocks

11:28 am

11:30 am

cybernan

hi again. had to go and check in for my flight tomorrow -- took me a while to figure out how to get the boarding pass into the wallet on my phone. All this new technology is getting to be too much for me!

11:30 am

penquis

hi nan...

11:32 am

hokie carla

11:32 am

hurshy

11:36 am

hurshy

phantom: elect

11:36 am

MollyL

11:39 am

hurshy

11:39 am

hokie carla

11:39 am

hurshy

11:39 am

hokie carla

probably has school xmas parties. sorry, holiday

11:40 am

MollyL

Have a good trip Nan. And yes Carla, God forbid we use the word "Christmas".

11:40 am

hokie carla

unless her kids go to catholic school

11:41 am

hurshy

God forbid you miss a chance to complain about someone not using the word Christmas

11:41 am

hokie carla

I don't recall

11:41 am

hurshy

besides... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xmas

11:42 am

cybernan

well I, for one, am thrilled to be spending Christmas with my daughter and grandkids.

11:42 am

hurshy

how old are the grandkids, nan?

11:42 am

BzznBea

have a wonderful time, nan!

11:43 am

rururocks

well it's nice to talk about Christmas and the holidays and family rather than Nazis and raping and the holocaust

11:43 am

bichon

We spend Christmas eve with my son-in-law's Ukranian family

11:43 am

hurshy

it's not my fault i have nightmares!

11:43 am

hokie carla

yes, I know "xmas" was started by christians and that's why I use it. I don't think molly was commenting on the use of xmas for christmas, but rather "holiday party" for "christmas (or xmas) party".

11:44 am

hurshy

that's cool bichon, do they have any ukranian traditions that they do?

11:44 am

hokie carla

which I don't have a problem with at public schools, there are therefore kids who don't celebrate xmas at public schools.

11:44 am

rururocks

I use Xmas and Christmas interchangably

11:44 am

rururocks

well the new Ukranian Tradition is to shoot a Russian lately

11:45 am

hokie carla

nan, I hope you have a good trip and enjoy your time with your family

11:45 am

hurshy

if it's new then it's not a tradition yet, lol

11:45 am

bichon

many, many. They eat 12 kinds of fish and have delicious borscht

11:45 am

hokie carla

already been 2 years hasn't it?

11:45 am

hurshy

that's a lot of kinds of fish

11:46 am

cybernan

ty Bea and Carla

11:46 am

hurshy

i feel bad for the russian soldiers tho. i don't think most of them want to be there any more than the ukrainians want to be attacked.

11:46 am

hurshy

stupid Putin

11:46 am

rururocks

gotta get to work.. have fun everyone

11:46 am

hokie carla

phantom haggis

11:47 am

hokie carla

11:47 am

penquis

bye, ru...

11:47 am

bichon

The only fish I eat is the smoked salmon

11:47 am

hokie carla

adios ruru

11:47 am

hurshy

2:02 pm

hurshy

but i may be weird

2:02 pm

hurshy

i see all these ones with like cuffs at the bottom, i never buy those. if you're tall, having cuffs at the bottom just makes it more obvious if they're a little too short for you!

2:02 pm

cybernan

through the list (with a few distractions) and 9 left

2:03 pm

hokie carla

I just got it based on the wintry design (a yeti snowboarding) and my family don't really wear them again after xmas. one year I used a heavy waffle weave blanket and made shorts and the oldest kid wears those still.
