ChampFit

Yest...the 5/10
9:11 am
hokie carla

did you ever find that i where you were seeing issue? I wonder if it's iso- something
9:11 am
hurshy

i think i have the one you mean although it could be more than one thing
9:11 am
ChampFit

There is an is 7/28
9:11 am
hurshy

it is iso- something hokie, i found it
9:11 am
hurshy

is7/28
9:12 am
hurshy

phantom: tsetse
9:15 am
ChampFit

Pen...you can plural that lo to make a 7.
9:15 am
hurshy

and there's two spellings of it
9:15 am
penquis

ah...ty....
9:15 am
hokie carla

weird, thanks all
9:15 am
ChampFit

Very.
9:16 am
hurshy

how is that weird, it's a flower
9:16 am
ChampFit

Different 7
9:16 am
hokie carla

the one similar to lotteries is also a flower? the 5/10?
9:16 am
penquis

yes...
9:17 am
ChampFit

You're talking about the 7/32. I'm talking about the 7/28.
9:17 am
ChampFit

Yes.
9:17 am
hurshy

i think they're just alt sp of each other
9:17 am
hurshy

both the flower
9:17 am
hokie carla

I have 5/10 and 7/28 and 5/12 and 7/32
9:17 am
hokie carla

well, I think the one spelling is weird since I've never seen it
9:18 am
hurshy

tennyson spelt it the 5/10 way
9:19 am
hurshy

which of course i only know because it's in the little house books lol
9:23 am
hurshy

so far finding S the hardest
9:23 am
hokie carla

I got sucked into a harlan coben show on netflix last night
9:25 am
hurshy

which one
9:25 am
hokie carla

I will find you
9:25 am
hurshy

i haven't watched any of them because they look darker than i usually prefer my shows
9:25 am
rururocks

if they're darker aren't they harder to see
9:26 am
hurshy

that's a common complaint about modern tv and/or movies
9:26 am
hurshy

that they are literally darker and hard to see what's going on
9:26 am
hurshy

but i meant the metaphorical darkness in this case
9:27 am
hurshy

phantom: -ier
9:27 am
hokie carla

it's weird, the other coben ones are all british settings and actors, even though I know the author is american. but this one is set in US.
9:27 am
hurshy

oh well then why even bother
9:28 am
hokie carla

and yes, this one is about a murdered boy so very dark.
9:29 am
hokie carla

yeah, this upper S is a struggle. still need 6
9:29 am
hurshy

five for me
9:30 am
hokie carla

and I even got the french one I usually miss
9:30 am
rururocks

It was kind of an easy grid for me for once
9:30 am
hokie carla

for once??
9:30 am
hokie carla

you say every day it's easy
9:30 am
hurshy

did you get sm4/9 hokie?
9:31 am
hokie carla

yes, have that one
9:32 am
rururocks

I'm sitting here paying a ton of bills that came in while I was on vacation yikes
9:33 am

ChampFit

9:38 am
hokie carla

congrats, champ
9:39 am
hokie carla

I keep thinking invent for the first part, which isn't there
9:39 am
ChampFit

Same!
9:39 am
ChampFit

Once you see a word a certain way, it's hard to get past.
9:39 am
rururocks

9:39 am
hurshy

i was thinking "make" lol
9:39 am
Shirlockc

wow, that in7 is a weird word
9:39 am
hokie carla

I also can't understand the 2nd half. moving on.
9:40 am
hurshy

9:40 am
ChampFit

Hagd all!
9:40 am
hokie carla

you too!
9:41 am
hurshy

wow that was neat a bird just hovered in place outside my window for a few seconds
9:41 am
hokie carla

not a hummingbird?
9:41 am
hurshy

i don't think it was a hummingbird but i don't know what other birds can hover
9:41 am
hurshy

it was a bit large to be a hummingbird
9:42 am
hokie carla

that's the only kind I've seen hovering, but yeah, they're tiny
9:42 am
hurshy

who knows maybe it is some bird making a new evolutionary development!
9:42 am
hokie carla

well, found more upper s's while looking for the lower, so now it's my biggest problem
9:43 am
hurshy

i didn't except that so8
9:43 am
