10:00 pm

10:00 pm

stidmama

10:01 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i need two EP words. second and third ones. monkeys are exhausted.

10:01 pm

stidmama

I see you're in Seattle now? We get up there every so often for Reign games. And Seattle Symphony

10:01 pm

stidmama

E + legume in a p** + vowel, then plural

10:01 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

hell yeah i remember pre-covid. the good old days

10:01 pm

mich_pdx

lol, might have been me. Yep, I moved back to my hometown because my mom has parkinson's and I wanted to be here for her

10:02 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

seattle? not me. still Michigan

10:02 pm

stidmama

Oh, I am sorry to hear about your mom. My mother had a cousin-in-law with that. Rough to observe.

10:02 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

OH, never mind

10:02 pm

mich_pdx

I'm the one in Seattle - stid's talking with us both, lol

10:03 pm

stidmama

Michigan's good too, BDG! But I haven't been there in over 40 years....

10:03 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

sorry to hear about your mom

10:03 pm

stidmama

Unfortunately, a meet-up for the three of us would be somewhere in the badlands, I think.

10:04 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

michigan is still too cold for me but climate change is making it a teeny bit less nasty

10:04 pm

mich_pdx

Gwen will just have to come to the great PNW :)

10:04 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

anyone have the second and third EP words? thanks

10:04 pm

mich_pdx

Maybe a meetup in Vancouver so Nan could join.

10:05 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

too broke to travel but i will join you in spirit

10:05 pm

stidmama

I agree, mich! Farmer's market, Arboretum, ferry ride to whidbey for the kite festival... do they still do that post-'Vid?

10:05 pm

stidmama

I met Nan once, many years ago. A mini-meetup when she was in the area briefly.

10:06 pm

mich_pdx

yep - my dog's littermate lives in Langley - we went last Summer to reunite the dogs.

10:06 pm

stidmama

BDG, clued at 10:01

10:06 pm

stidmama

nice!

10:07 pm

stidmama

Our fella's a rescue from Texas, melted my heart when there were a bunch of pups at the pet store. ALL I went for was mealworms for the rescue lizard we were hosting at the time...

10:08 pm

mich_pdx

stid, makes me happy to have you back :)

10:08 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

thanks, must have missed the clues. that got me one word I needed but I seill need ep5/12, the second ep word

10:08 pm

stidmama

Couldn't help myself. Asked Tom and he said I was coming home with the dog anyway, in that resigned voice he gets. Now HE's Wally's best bud, and I am the backup.

10:08 pm

stidmama

plural, Gwen?

10:08 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i have the plural, ep6/12

10:09 pm

stidmama

plural of ep4/5 sword

10:09 pm

mich_pdx

lol! My dog is such a love bug. Born in Oct 2020 - she was my lockdown companion. OK, diving back into the grid (poof!)

10:09 pm

stidmama

<3

10:09 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

got the ep4/5, and the ep5/14, can't find the one in between. plural isn't working -- is it a weird Latin plural?

10:10 pm

stidmama

no, plural the ep 4/5

10:10 pm

stidmama

maybe need to refresh to see it?

10:11 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

ep--s isn't working. help me more stupidly thanks

10:11 pm

stidmama

or are you looking the ET 5/12?

10:11 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

(refreshing)

10:12 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

no, got all the ETs

10:12 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

10:12 pm

stidmama

10:13 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

10:13 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

(sword, not spord)

10:14 pm

stidmama

YAY BDG!!!!!!!!!!

10:14 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i somehow thought it had to start with the same four letters as ep4/6

10:15 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

thanks for trying to help 8 - )

10:15 pm

stidmama

LOL I am so tired and really really need my new glasses last month (only ordered them a week ago)... sorry I wasn't more effective.

10:16 pm

stidmama

I think I am hitting the hay. Have a lovely Friday eve all! *poof*

10:17 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

night all

10:28 pm

hurshy

you know what's weird

10:31 pm

hurshy

squaredle is in some ways essentially the same as babble. i mean they are both versions of boggle.

10:31 pm

hurshy

but in addition to squaredle counting a lot of the weird words as "bonus" instead of fully counting them

10:32 pm

hurshy

it's SO different just on account of the fact that some human creates each squaredle puzzle, whereas these grids are computer generated

10:32 pm

hurshy

it's funny that that makes such a noticeable difference

11:14 pm

mich_pdx

the monkeys have won - anyone need clues, or just waiting for the flip?
