hokie carla
ok, quick loss
9:15 am
hurshy
are you evenly matched or do you usually lose?
9:16 am
hokie carla
just depends. I have some moments of greatness, but the kid I just played uses a lot of spin, which I struggle with.
9:16 am
hokie carla
I can beat both of them and mr homie occasionally and then can lose just as easily.
9:17 am
hokie carla
so I guess fairly even

hokie carla
rehi - finally got it when I came back. was a dumb adj looking one
10:02 am
BzznBea
Must be the one I'm missing.
10:03 am
rururocks
nothing like a dumb adj
10:06 am
rururocks
*wonders if hokie says things like I have to head out for HD or Targ or sfwy or csco
10:07 am
hokie carla
we don't have sfwy
10:07 am
hokie carla
took me a sec to realize it was safeway
10:07 am
BzznBea
I was wondering if she has such a small table that they have take turns eating.
10:08 am
hokie carla
lol, what? we were playing ping pong.
10:11 am

Irony. Grid won't accept the word vape. I am puzzling while vaping. You can't make this stuff up!
10:12 am
hokie carla
vape is wayyyy too new for this dictionary
10:12 am
hokie carla
it's from like 2000
10:13 am
BzznBea
Ha! Found the dumb adj
10:14 am
hokie carla
oh, bea. looks like it is an alt sp of the dry ditch
10:14 am
hokie carla
and not a dumb adj after all
10:14 am
BzznBea
That makes sense.
10:18 am
rururocks
alt sp?
10:19 am
hokie carla
alt sp has been used for alternate spelling a bazillion times here and everyone knows what it means
10:21 am
rururocks
i know what it means.. I just can't believe you write like that
10:21 am
rururocks
one of your weird quirks
10:22 am
hokie carla
it's just faster, and I'm not the only one that uses it.
10:22 am
rururocks
i know that
10:22 am
rururocks
you just do it all the time though.. it's ok.. I like to write things out so that it's understood
10:23 am
BzznBea
It's them there younguns that write like that unless they use AI.
10:23 am
hokie carla
what does ok mean?
10:23 am
hokie carla
don't you mean "okay"?
10:24 am
origami
Score one gotcha for Hokie
10:24 am
rururocks
I deserved that
10:24 am
hokie carla
or the alternate spelling only seen here, "okeh"
10:25 am

Minveryork
