3:08 am
worzel

talismen is the plural and is accepted by Collins dictionary
4:18 am
MollyL

Google says "The plural of "talisman" is talismans. The word "talismen" is not a standard English word and is incorrect. Merriam-Webster and other dictionaries confirm this"
8:42 am
hokie carla

9:08 am
MollyL

No, I said we never did that when I was a kid. We were done before Memorial Day and went back after Labor Day.
9:10 am
MollyL

Back in the day, that was part of the reason for the two long weekends. The first weekend of summer and the last weekend of summer. People lucky enough to have "summer homes" opened them up on Memorial Day weekend and closed them down on Labor Day weekend.

not getting the te8 even with a clue
4:26 pm
periwinkle

will not finish will quite soon
4:27 pm
hokie carla

yeah, I had to look up the te8 because I couldn't get the middle 2 letters. do you understand both parts of the clue?
4:27 pm
periwinkle

I think so
4:27 pm
periwinkle

not sure of the middle
4:28 pm
hokie carla

trying to think the best way...
4:28 pm
periwinkle

I do not see it in my scrabble dictionary
4:29 pm
hokie carla

the middle 2 letters are almost how you spell out the letter that spell starts with.
4:29 pm
periwinkle

is the number pl in the te8?
4:29 pm
hokie carla

no
4:31 pm
hurshy

ok the le8 is VERY weird
4:32 pm
periwinkle

I will never find it then
4:32 pm
hurshy

i will try two different ways to clue it
4:33 pm
hurshy

clue v1: if you know the scientific word for the little bit of liquid that sort of rises up at the edges when a liquid is in a measuring cup, or any cup, do the latin plural of that, but reverse the first two letters and stick the L on the front
4:33 pm
periwinkle

thanks but not helping.
4:33 pm
periwinkle

98 left quitting. may be back later
4:33 pm
hurshy

clue v2: L + dorothy's aunt + monty python's knights who say __ + abbreviation for the field that includes all of biology, chemistry, physics, etc
4:35 pm
hokie carla

thanks, had to google the first two parts but got it.
4:36 pm
hokie carla

TTFN
4:36 pm
hurshy

you had to google dorothy's aunt?
4:55 pm
MollyL

She had to do a Google search on the knights who say ____?
4:56 pm
MollyL

But it figures the abbreviation queen got that part of the clue
5:30 pm
hokie carla

couldn't rem. the aunt. then when I googled I was like, duh.
5:31 pm
hokie carla

I know monty python but I don't really know monty python.
5:35 pm
MollyL

But sci, def no prob
5:38 pm
hurshy

i feel like there's a sizeable chunk of americans who do not know monty python, but like, EVERYONE has seen the wizard of oz
5:40 pm
hokie carla

what else would sci have been?
5:40 pm
hurshy

i think we all know there are other babblers who would have trouble with even that part of the clue, lol
5:41 pm
hokie carla

yes, have seen Wizard of Oz many times, just couldn't think of it.
5:42 pm
MollyL

You are not of the generation who watched The Wizard of Oz every year on it's special TV presentation. It was a big night in kid world back then.
5:43 pm
hurshy

actually i think she is of that generation; that was still going on in my childhood
5:43 pm
hokie carla

I think they were still doing that some when I was a young kid. There was no other way to watch it back then.
5:43 pm
hurshy

there were other ways to watch it too though - you could buy it on VHS or tape it off tv when it was on or get it out of the library
5:44 pm
MollyL

That, Cinderella with Lesley Ann Warren and the Mary Martin Peter Pan. Great TV nights for me as a kid.
5:44 pm
hokie carla

ok, those two we did not have
5:44 pm
hurshy

my dad loooooved that cinderella though
5:44 pm
hokie carla

well, VHS tapes were a little later. you are 4 years younger than me I think.
5:45 pm
hokie carla

or we didn't have a VCR in my house until later
5:45 pm
hurshy

yeah, but i feel like VHS, well my grandpa actually got a camcorder when i was quite young, he just wanted to be at the head of that curve i guess
5:45 pm
MollyL

Cinderella was Rodgers and Hammerstein, a classic
5:46 pm
hurshy

my family also had a desktop computer earlier than most and i learned a little bit of programming in ye olde BASIC language
5:46 pm
hokie carla

first VCR in US was 1977, didn't become dominant until mid-80s.
5:47 pm
hurshy

i think my grandpa got a camcorder in like 82 or 83
5:47 pm
hurshy

okay another free clue: Judy Blume's book "Otherwise Known as Sh6 the Great"
5:48 pm
hokie carla

we learned some basic and would run programs on the computers set up in dept. stores.
5:48 pm
hokie carla

I always miss that word
5:48 pm
hurshy

well yeah cause it's proper so idk why it counts
5:48 pm
hokie carla

because of australia
5:49 pm
hurshy

ah yes, australia! and everyone knows that australia is entirely peopled by criminals, and criminals are used to having people not trust them...
5:50 pm
MollyL

Cinderella is where I got my first TV crush on Stuart Damon/The Prince who later became Alan Quartermaine on General Hospital
5:50 pm
MollyL

Just like America is totally populated by crazed gun carriers

6:38 pm
MollyL

No, but this is going nowhere.
6:39 pm
MollyL

I can't see why the vegetable I mentioned would end in li
6:39 pm
hokie carla

you said "
You are probably missing the one that ends "sounds like green vegetable that most people don't like""
6:40 pm
hokie carla

7:50 pm
hokie carla

ok, south of greenville, so south of us. 12 in one week, biggest one was 3.0. we have not felt any as far as we know. our street was paved last week and there was a lot of house rumbling from that equipment.
7:50 pm
BzznBea

My W and R keys stick orr do not work at all. So frustrating, especially when trying to enter a word.
7:50 pm
hokie carla

we felt one earlier in the summer that was near knoxville, and my son felt that one in charlotte.
7:51 pm
hokie carla

more recently there was one near hendersonville, which is close to us and people farther away felt it but we didn't.
7:51 pm
hokie carla

it's weird how that works.
7:51 pm
hokie carla

bea, I've had that and it's very annoying!
7:53 pm
hokie carla

even got a new bottom section of my laptop to fix it and the M is already sticking again. the guy yelled at me using it while eating.
7:55 pm
BzznBea

Yes, I'm sure that is my issue.
