1:06 am

grannyrose

for pete's sake. what has happened to morewords?? it's gone loopy.

1:07 am

justafreep

Not sure what that means. Is it suddenly recognizing spam as a word or something more dramatic :-)

1:09 am

grannyrose

no. it wont allow me to find words beginning with two letters, then by length. loopy = nuts = crazy

1:09 am

rebelsass

1:13 am

grannyrose

* giggle * and his brother '' came out" to the family yesterday. certainly gobsmacked at least one of his uncles

1:13 am

rebelsass

oh brilliant!

1:16 am

grannyrose

yeah. good ol' aunty didn't blink an eye, just welcomed his partner to the family. now thinking he was a little inconsiderate to do it when we were celebrating his brother's birthday. but i don't think there would have ever been a time when it would have been better.

1:16 am

rebelsass

how gracious of his brother to share the limelight...

1:18 am

grannyrose

yeah. you are right. i guess. but he is like that. he has the temperament of my grandfather. he was old-fashioned forgiving and gracious. don't see that a lot in this generation.

1:19 am

rebelsass

no, you don't. but at least he was able to get it off of his chest and come out.

12:08 pm

Gillie

one of the sp7 is a weird one - but only one letter off from one of the others

12:12 pm

hokie carla

do you mean the one that rhymes with sm7? I have that plus the one I clued for mkg but can't find the other.

12:13 pm

Gillie

the sp7 I'm talking about doesn't rhyme with an sm7

12:13 pm

hokie carla

ok, I am confused by "one letter off from the others" since the 2 I have are completely different. only sp and last letter are the same.

12:14 pm

hokie carla

just monkeyed it!

12:14 pm

hokie carla

weird word - a projection from the side of a ship

12:15 pm

Gillie

there's also a weird pe6/7 pair that I haven't seen before - one letter off from a hallucinogenic substance

12:16 pm

Gillie

alternate spelling, I guess

12:16 pm

hokie carla

hmm, okay. will look for that, thx.

12:17 pm

hokie carla

trying to think of hallucinogens

12:17 pm

Gillie

Native Americans used it, I think

12:17 pm

Gillie

Very weird spelling, though

12:18 pm

hokie carla

oh, I think I know. ends like the canid

12:20 pm

Gillie

not sure what you mean

12:20 pm

hokie carla

the pe word that ends like coyote

12:21 pm

Gillie

oh - got you

12:21 pm

hokie carla

but that isn't helping me find this weird sp. they say knowledge is half the battle. maybe not when it comes to weird spellings.

12:21 pm

Gillie

this spelling is from the original Nahuatl (that could help ,actually)

12:22 pm

hokie carla

well, I looked it up, but thanks

12:23 pm

Gillie

yw - sorry I wasn't a bit more concise

12:23 pm

hokie carla

now 0-2-2

12:23 pm

hokie carla

that's okay, kind of a tough one to clue and I was only looking up.

12:24 pm

hokie carla

for anyone else wanting more...ends like the r4 babblet

12:24 pm

Gillie

good point!

12:25 pm

hokie carla

oh, found my last P! the one that reminds me of happy days

12:26 pm

Gillie

congrats!

12:26 pm

hokie carla

still F SS though

12:27 pm

hokie carla

guess I will look at the list

12:27 pm

Gillie

I listed, and I'm off now - so good luck with the rest

12:27 pm

hokie carla

thanks, have a good one

12:55 pm
