12:37 am

Robespierre

Related to the sht 6/7, or is there another sh 6/7?

12:38 am

Robespierre

Thanks!

12:38 am

jeanne314

didn't realize that alternative existed...monkeys flying.

12:45 am

jeanne314

The Bs are perplexing! How can there possibly be 41 of them? I've got a great amount of every other tile filled or completed. But the Bs...sigh.

12:46 am

jeanne314

Good grief. I just had a quick run which got me up into the 30s. I guess a little vent uncorked the brain.

FrenchToast

TY !

6:21 am

ivesyj

6:21 am

FrenchToast

Do you have a lot of snow where you are?

6:23 am

ivesyj

not so much now. had almost 9 inches last week. rite now the temp is below zero so i think i will postpone by trip to timmy hortons lol

6:23 am

ivesyj

are you getting snow down your way

6:23 am

FrenchToast

I have heard about Tim Hortons, we don't have it here on the coast of Virginia.

6:24 am

FrenchToast

We got less than 1 inch where I live, but just south of me got 5-12 inches.

6:24 am

ivesyj

one of my faves. but this weather has put a crimp in my trips. my sister lives in north carolina i guess they got snow.

6:25 am

FrenchToast

Yes NC got pounded!

6:25 am

ivesyj

she is used to it lol coming from new york. lol. i would rather have snow than the ice though.

6:26 am

FrenchToast

I just googled Tim Hortons, there are 2 in Norfolk VA. It's about a 1/2 hour drive for me, across a bridge and a tunnel.

6:27 am

FrenchToast

beau

6:27 am

FrenchToast

oops sorry

6:27 am

ivesyj

we have 4 just in my area alone. about 5 mins for me for the one go to

6:27 am

FrenchToast

Is it cheaper than Starbucks?

6:29 am

ivesyj

oh yes.def. i get a xtra large for just under $4.kind of pricey but worth it. but today i think i will settle for making my own. too old to venture out right now lol

6:30 am

FrenchToast

I just made a nice cup in the Keurig.

6:31 am

ivesyj

thats what i use i like it well enough.

6:32 am

MollyL

Definitely too cold to go out for coffee here

6:32 am

msr

French Toast, you must be in my area because I'm in Smithfield and to go to Norfolk it's across a bridge and tunnel for me as well.

6:32 am

MollyL

Keurig's don't make coffee s trong enough for me

6:32 am

ivesyj

thats how i feel molly esp when i can make it and stay warm

6:32 am

FrenchToast

Yes msr, I'm in NN, next to the airport.

6:33 am

ivesyj

i found that the folgers was too strong for me.

6:34 am

MollyL

I'm so tired of wearing layers of clothes, even inside

6:34 am

FrenchToast

I use the Keurig, but not the pods. I use that attachment where you put your own ground coffee in, and I use Starbucks French Roast. It's quite strong.

6:34 am

msr

sate

6:34 am

msr

Sorry!

6:35 am

ivesyj

oh i have to get me some of those. in the long run much cheaper

6:35 am

FrenchToast

msr, do you ever go to Capn Chuck a Mucks?

6:35 am

MollyL

That is an environmental plus, French Toast

6:36 am

msr

I have been once. The food was good but it was very busy and loud. Have you been?

6:36 am

FrenchToast

Yes, it's one of my fav places. They serve a fish there called corvino, it is delicious.

6:37 am

FrenchToast

Molly, yes it is.

6:37 am

ivesyj

this coming week we will be in the 20's ..heat wave lol then going back to below zero. so i trudge to work becuz we rarely close

6:37 am

FrenchToast

Where do you work, ivesy?

6:37 am

msr

I'll have to try that. Hopefully next time I go it won't be so busy.

6:37 am

Gitel

Save

6:37 am

FrenchToast

msr, I usually try to get there close to opening time for lunch.

6:38 am

MollyL

I read that John Sylvan, the inventor of the Keurig K-Cup, has expressed regret over his creation due to its significant environmental impact. Sylvan does not use the single-serve coffee machines himself, calling them expensive and environmentally wasteful, specifically citing that the pods are not easily recyclable.

6:40 am

ivesyj

def are expensive.

6:41 am

ivesyj

i work at our public library. its actually not even a 5 min walk but when its this cold its brutal

6:41 am

msr

French Toast, that's sounds like a much better time. It was around 5 when we went. Thought it was too early for the dinner crowd but we were wrong and had to wait a long time for a table.

6:41 am

FrenchToast

Yes msr, lunch is a better time to go.

6:42 am

FrenchToast

I've never had to wait.

6:42 am

ivesyj

ok time to go make a coffe..bbs

6:42 am

msr

Thanks for the info French Toast!

hurshy

10:14 am

hurshy

it made me so happy

10:14 am

hurshy

wuthering heights is dark and sad

10:14 am

hurshy

jane austen is not

10:15 am

hurshy

you are just really missing out, that's all

10:15 am

hokie carla

always thought I should read Emma as I love Clueless

10:16 am

hurshy

you could start with that then :)

10:16 am

hurshy

once you read one austen novel you are likely to want to read the rest

10:18 am

hurshy

10:37 am

hokie carla

10:38 am

hokie carla

welki!

10:39 am

hokie carla

middle column gray!

10:41 am

hurshy

10:41 am

hurshy

1-6-1-2

10:42 am

hokie carla

very weird, thanks. did bea just stumble onto that or she actually knows that word? probably the latter as she is a SWN

10:42 am

hurshy

got my four!

10:43 am

hokie carla

17 left on 4 tiles. 2-5-7-3 B9 T2 T4 V2

hurshy

10:43 am

hurshy

oh duh, forgot to plural

10:43 am

hokie carla

well, one of my 4s was a b I thought I had and had all the words with it

10:44 am

hurshy

i wonder if Ivanka understands that her father and his proclivities are not normal, and if so, at what point she realized that

10:44 am

hokie carla

probably has known for a while

10:45 am

hurshy

i mean i know she has known what goes on, it's the moment of moving from "this is just how life is" to "oh wait this is not normal" that i am thinking of

10:47 am

hokie carla

who knows

10:47 am

hokie carla

think I will list for these last 16 as I could drag this out all day and want to get to my quilt

10:48 am

hurshy

ooh, a quilt

10:48 am

hokie carla

still working on my niece's t-shirt quilt

10:48 am

hokie carla

would like to finish it so I can get it out of my sewing room and move on the other projects.

10:49 am

hurshy

makes sense

10:50 am

hokie carla

and I'm sure she'd like to get it

10:51 am

hurshy

you'll have to show us a picture when it's done before you give it to her

10:51 am

hokie carla

yeah, I will try. I usually do take a pic of all of them.

10:53 am

BzznBea

Tshirt quilts are such a pain. They are so heavy.

10:53 am

hokie carla

well, definitely should have gotten some of those T's

10:53 am

hokie carla

agreed, bea. I think I've mentioned I only do them for family.

10:53 am

penquis

just went to a quilt exhibit by a lady who does not sell any quilts...she just makes them for friends and family....unbelievable stuff....each quilt tells a story....they should be exhibited in a museum....

10:53 am

penquis

and hello all...

10:54 am

hokie carla

so after this one I only have my youngest son and my nephew to go. unless someone on mr. bf's side decides they want one.

10:54 am

hokie carla

pen!

10:54 am

penquis

carla!

10:54 am

hokie carla

I don't even know if my nephew has saved shirts but his mom probably started saving them after I made my first one.

10:56 am

hokie carla

ok, now just 8 B's to go

10:57 am

hokie carla

well, one set was the same as a set of my missing T's

10:59 am

hokie carla

anyone have a clue for be7/40? I love it when I know 4 letters of a word and can't find it (sarcasm)

11:00 am

hokie carla

oh, duh. regular word

11:01 am

hokie carla

and I missed a pretty big group of 4

11:01 am

hokie carla

well, one isn't really part of the group by def

11:01 am

hokie carla

anyhoo, tada.

11:01 am

hurshy

i keep dozing off while trying to find my last t5

11:01 am

hurshy

there, got it at last

11:28 am

moolingwa

morning

11:34 am

penquis

hi mool...

11:35 am

moolingwa

hey pen, happy Sunday

11:36 am

cybernan

good morning - in what world are yiddish words english?

11:36 am

moolingwa

new york

11:36 am

penquis

ty, mool...

11:36 am

penquis

hi nan....

11:36 am

cybernan

no more than french words are english in Montreal

11:37 am

cybernan

don't think either should be allowed

11:37 am

moolingwa

well it's a bit different in Montreal because French is widely spoken, in NYC, the Yiddish speakers are definite minority but some of the words have made into common lingo

11:38 am

cybernan

but that is pretty localized in both cases

11:38 am

cybernan

we certainly don't hear either around here

11:38 am

penquis

common only if you live in a big city with a high Jewish population...

11:38 am

moolingwa

Yes, however...with the New York Times and other media based in NYC, it spreads it more widely

11:39 am

cybernan

maybe in the eastern states - but again - this is supposedly a world wide game

11:39 am

moolingwa

English has a regional variation for a lot of things, or specific to different fields

11:39 am

moolingwa

well not really, this dictionary is very US centric

11:39 am

moolingwa

based on several US collegiate dictionaries

11:40 am

moolingwa

the "English" based scrabble dictionary is far bigger

11:40 am

cybernan

so what you are saying is because it is in the US anything goes

11:40 am

moolingwa

no, actually I'm saying the opposite

11:41 am

penquis

there is no use arguing the point...it is what it is, right or wrong....

11:41 am

moolingwa

The dictionaries all have their own rules for adding words to the dictionary

11:41 am

moolingwa

you'd have to take it up with them individually :)

11:41 am

moolingwa

and retiring words can be a lot slower, but it also happens

11:41 am

moolingwa

not so much from word games, and certainly not from this dictionary that hasn't seen any updates for 25 years or so

11:41 am

BzznBea

Agree, pen. This argument comes up all the time from nan. If you don't like it, nan, leave the game.

11:41 am

penquis

not in this dictionary....;o)

11:42 am

cybernan

it's no wonder that people trying to learn english as a 2nd language have such a difficult time of it

11:42 am

cybernan

wow - that is harsh bea

11:42 am

BzznBea

So are you sometimes.

11:43 am

penquis

english is a difficult language....so many exceptions and words from different languages...

11:43 am

cybernan

seems to me I oft see comments about british spellings

11:43 am

penquis

everyone complains about the dictionary here....but it doesn't change it...

11:43 am

moolingwa

I think that people have a hard time learning english because it doesn't have consistency in pronunciation. I mean it's largely a combination of Germanic and Romantic languages, but also a lot of borrowed words because of the "Empire"

11:44 am

cybernan

that is true mool

11:44 am

moolingwa

If it's all the same, I'm comfortable with the dictionary here :)

11:44 am

penquis

i think that is what i just said, mool... ;o)

11:44 am

moolingwa

pretty much pen, just slow typing on my part

11:45 am

penquis

a Russian friend once said that Russian is hard to learn, but easier to master, while English is easy to learn and hard to master...

11:46 am

moolingwa

my kid's learning russian

11:46 am

penquis

cool....

11:46 am

moolingwa

they have sounds we don't have which are difficult

11:46 am

moolingwa

they have a ton of borrowed words though, and the grammatical structure is more flexible than English

11:46 am

penquis

yes, making it harder to learn...i think she said it was easier to master is that it is more predictable in terms of pronunciation and grammar...

11:47 am

moolingwa

They also have more letters in the alphabet, something like 33 if I recall correctly

11:47 am

moolingwa

yes, same with Spanish pretty consistent, though there is regional variation on that

11:48 am

penquis

there is always regional variation to some extent....she said Russian has less because the government strictly controlled how it was taught and pronounced in school...

11:48 am

moolingwa

French is a bit more interesting, lot of letters don't get pronounced, like in ouiseaux

11:48 am

bichon

Ukrainian has one more letter than Russian

11:48 am

moolingwa

Ukraine has an I right?

11:49 am

bichon

This is per my s.i.l

11:49 am

moolingwa

yeah my kid told me, also said there's some interesting sharing of words with Polish in Ukraine

11:50 am

moolingwa

My kid's into slavic languages at the moment

11:50 am

bichon

Polish and Ukranian are similar

11:52 am

penquis

gotta get some lunch...bbl....
