12:22 pm

hurshy

but i very rarely mind getting a big one in any case!

12:23 pm

hurshy

it's just ironic

12:23 pm

penquis

wow....beware of what you wish for!...hello all....

12:23 pm

hurshy

hi pen

12:23 pm

penquis

hi hursh...

12:25 pm

hurshy

gotta add "tase" and "taser" to my mental list with fest, for things that don't work

12:26 pm

penquis

yup...

12:28 pm

hurshy

yeah struggling way more with the right T than the left ones

12:29 pm

penquis

i am not that systematic....

12:29 pm

penquis

i get distracted by word families...

12:29 pm

hurshy

sometimes if there is more than one tile with a letter i do them collectively instead of tile by tile but either way it is systematic

12:30 pm

hurshy

i decided not to look at word families after trying systematic and finding it made for a more productive first pass

12:30 pm

hurshy

oHO i was being silly with that right T

12:30 pm

hurshy

now i've greyed it

12:30 pm

penquis

cool...

hokie carla

12:45 pm

hurshy

i feel like more things should end with -ery

12:45 pm

hurshy

like there's joinery with wood, so if you st5 it, why can't that be st5ery

12:46 pm

hokie carla

I have tried that ending on many words today

12:46 pm

hurshy

yeah

12:48 pm

hokie carla

like another word for sanitarium is sanery

12:48 pm

hurshy

makes sense to me

12:49 pm

penquis

i actually thought of that one, too...

12:50 pm

penquis

it's also interestin how mny dumb RE words are accepted and how many often used ones are rejected...

12:50 pm

Chubby checkers song

3:36 pm

FrenchToast

3:36 pm

hurshy

3:36 pm

FrenchToast

Like we did last summer

3:36 pm

hurshy

as mentioned

3:36 pm

moolingwa

hey waffles :)

3:36 pm

FrenchToast

lol Hi moo

3:37 pm

moolingwa

hope you don't mind me using that term

3:37 pm

FrenchToast

Not at all :)

3:37 pm

BzznBea

Then you have them all.

3:37 pm

moolingwa

thanks, just when I initially saw your pic that I thought it was waffles

3:37 pm

hurshy

i counted wrong AGAIN?! sigh

3:37 pm

hurshy

ok

3:37 pm

moolingwa

consistency is a skill hursh :)

3:38 pm

FrenchToast

I'll post a pic the next time I make waffles. I have the little mini waffle maker.

3:38 pm

moolingwa

oh cool

3:38 pm

hurshy

so my top T is a TO then, and i am again a DOPE

3:39 pm

hurshy

got it

3:39 pm

hurshy

now i definitely only have 2 TR, is that all there is of that?

3:41 pm

moolingwa

5OFOET

3:41 pm

moolingwa

actually 4OFOET

3:41 pm

FrenchToast

What does that mean

3:42 pm

moolingwa

4 or fewer of every tile

3:42 pm

hurshy

i don't do the acronym for that one

3:42 pm

moolingwa

I like to try and do tiles in order of how many are remaining

3:42 pm

FrenchToast

I just started but I have at least 1 of every tile

3:42 pm

hurshy

yes but he has four or fewer LEFT from each tile

3:42 pm

hurshy

it's the other end

3:42 pm

moolingwa

as opposed to hurshian notation, in which I have 14-12-11-5-3-1

3:43 pm

hurshy

but that is about lengths, not tiles

3:43 pm

FrenchToast

Yes I understood what he was saying hurshy

3:43 pm

moolingwa

occasionally I'm able to communicate

3:43 pm

hurshy

different stats for different cats

3:43 pm

moolingwa

meow

3:43 pm

moolingwa

or miaou if you prefer

3:43 pm

hurshy

or miaul

3:44 pm

hurshy

too many spellings for that

3:44 pm

moolingwa

or woof too I guess

3:44 pm

hurshy

miaow is another

3:44 pm

hurshy

i don't think woof has any alt sp

3:44 pm

moolingwa

ruff?

3:44 pm

hurshy

ergo i must conclude that cats are more complex and nuanced

3:44 pm

moolingwa

bowwow?

3:45 pm

moolingwa

I prefer cats myself

3:45 pm

hurshy

i mean a ruff is also the thing around shakespeare's neck so we can't know why it's included in enable, if it would make it as only a dog sound, if it didn't have another meaning

3:45 pm

hurshy

bowwow of course isn't really at all similar to woof in spelling

3:46 pm

moolingwa

of course not, but dogs do have a wide variety of shapes and sizes

3:46 pm

hurshy

i guess there is arfs too

3:46 pm

moolingwa

indeed

3:46 pm

hurshy

but oink is oink

3:46 pm

moolingwa

eyesnot is so a word

3:46 pm
