11:16 am

har har har

11:18 am

hurshy

well here's a miracle, i finished 6s

11:19 am

wow, still need 5

11:19 am

hokie carla

still stuck too

11:19 am

hurshy

bottom row grey!

11:20 am

hurshy

well almost all the 6s come from the first 3 rows

11:20 am

hurshy

so that's how i inadvertently finished them before other things

11:20 am

hokie carla

just found an h6

11:21 am

hurshy

did you also get the 7 that goes with it

11:22 am

hokie carla

no, mine goes with a 5

11:22 am

hurshy

yes it does but also a 7

11:23 am

hokie carla

ok, not getting any 7 to work with that 6

11:23 am

hurshy

pt

11:23 am

hurshy

of the 5

11:23 am

hokie carla

ah, thanks

11:23 am

hokie carla

was thinking of it as a noun

11:23 am

hokie carla

silly me

11:23 am

hurshy

well it basically is

11:24 am

hokie carla

T AAAA SSS AA DD E F

11:24 am

hurshy

i mean if you say a person is "heavily tattooed" you're kind of making the noun an adj, you're not really referring to the event of the tattoos being put on

11:24 am

hokie carla

2-3-4-4-1

11:24 am

hokie carla

yes, so an adj in that case

11:25 am

hurshy

in the case of tattoo you could also use as actual past tense, like "i tattooed 5 customers today"

11:25 am

hurshy

but i am not sure if the he7 would ever be used that way

11:25 am

hokie carla

I would imagine it's used the same way

11:25 am

hurshy

i mean it COULD be

11:25 am

hurshy

i just don't know if people DO

11:26 am

hurshy

ok so the se8 was mentioned in chat but i don't see the other 8 mentioned, do you know what it is perchance?

11:26 am

hokie carla

if you work as a h5 artist somewhere I bet you do

11:26 am

hokie carla

I don't. I hadn't looked at chat.

11:26 am
