hurshy

argh why do i get these mental blocks when i get to one word left from a tile

9:11 am

crosshair

Which tile?

9:11 am

hurshy

well it was the S, but, i monkeyed it. i cleverly took advantage of the peri principle without actually pulling a peri, see?

9:12 am

crosshair

Gotcha. :)

9:12 am

hurshy

in fairness to me, my last one was the least normal S

9:14 am

hurshy

but dang it now it's happening again with the C

9:15 am

crosshair

I love the "Peri principle," mainly because it has been a unchanging, steadfast constant over the years. :)

9:15 am

hurshy

it sure has

9:17 am

hurshy

aHA, the illness!

9:19 am

hurshy

that is a tricky one in that it is spelled weird AND people don't really use that word anymore. i probably wouldn't know it if i hadn't read so much LM Montgomery

9:19 am

crosshair

Stats?

9:26 am

crosshair

It is unusual with that dbbl cons.

9:26 am

hurshy

9:27 am

crosshair

It reminds of of welsh in a way

9:29 am

Book Doctor Gwen

9:39 am

hurshy

9:40 am

crosshair

It is all about restraint and portion control--which I largly ignore. :(

9:41 am

hurshy

9:42 am

hurshy

for me it's the sweets which are difficult. esp chocolate

1:04 pm

Shirlockc

it's a cordial so i assumed it's alcoholic
