Hello, Babbleland...

7:41 am

hokie carla

7:42 am

hokie carla

looked out the window over my kitchen sink and there's a cicada on the screen.

7:42 am

BzznBea

We have Japanese beetles flying all over our yard.

7:43 am

hokie carla

haven't seen those yet

7:43 am

hokie carla

we don't get a lot of those here though I've seen them over the years. but they used to destroy my mom's stuff when I was a kid.

7:45 am

Judi

Good morning, y'all.

7:45 am

hokie carla

morning judi

7:45 am

hokie carla

man, only finding a third of the top S. must need more coffee.

7:48 am

Judi

Hmm. Hitting the wall with 113 left. * feeling inadequate *

7:48 am

hokie carla

but finished the C so I've got that going for me

7:49 am

hokie carla

I just started so haven't reached feelings of inadequacy yet. keep going!

7:51 am

hokie carla

7:52 am

hokie carla

nm

7:52 am

MollyL

You can do it Judi (joins in the Judi ego boosting rally)
: D

7:52 am

BzznBea

It took me a long time on that F...

7:53 am

MollyL

Me too. I wish I could say it was a weird word, but no.

7:53 am

Judi

It's just a weird piece of furniture.

7:54 am

hokie carla

felt like it took me a while but it appears from the chat it was a minute

7:55 am

hokie carla

I guess reup is a military word that didn't make on enable. maybe it has a hyphen.

7:57 am

BzznBea

31 left...taking a break...

7:58 am

hokie carla

haven't even made halfway yet but I have grayed 5 tiles!

8:02 am

Judi

Scratched and clawed my way to 63. Not looking promising ...

8:04 am

hokie carla

finally made it to halfway

8:07 am

hokie carla

some weird T's

8:08 am

hokie carla

I love it when typing random things takes

8:14 am

Wendrie

8:43 am

pythonx

8:59 am

HarryHood

don't you hate when you sit trying F words for 2 minutes, only to realize that your F tile is gray?

8:59 am

penquis

hah.....been there, done that for sure....

9:00 am

rururocks

i haven't ever done that harry

9:04 am

HarryHood

I can't imagine you doing that ru. You are much too together :)

9:04 am

HarryHood

OK. I have a mug of coffee and 3 oreos and ready to tackle this grid

9:05 am

pythonx

9:05 am

penquis

i want the oreos....

9:06 am

HarryHood

yeah - that's just not gonna happen pen.

9:06 am

HarryHood

I'm not a good sharer.

9:06 am

HarryHood

Just ask my kids.

9:06 am

penquis

:o(

9:08 am

HarryHood

still missing one R - but as far as I can tell, there are no re-words meaning again, which is unusual

9:09 am

rururocks

i did stare at that F for too long a time however to figure out what came from it

9:09 am

HarryHood

somebody let it slip earlier.

9:10 am

rururocks

well.. I was happy to put it to bed

9:10 am

HarryHood

yes - that kind of clue :)

9:12 am

HarryHood

ah! finished the Rs

9:12 am

rururocks

9:16 am

HarryHood

9:16 am

HarryHood

9:16 am

pythonx

and more oreo?

9:27 am

rururocks

oreos are really, really bad for you .. super high in FAT

9:28 am

BzznBea

I got lost somewhere...

9:28 am

rururocks

and Bad Fat at that

9:28 am

BzznBea

Ru, guess what I have growing in my yard?

9:29 am

rururocks

zucchini?

9:29 am

bichon

what?

9:29 am

BzznBea

Aw, yes. But can you guess what color it is?

9:29 am

rururocks

yello?

9:29 am

rururocks

yellow?

9:29 am

BzznBea

No.

9:30 am

rururocks

oh bichon is back

9:30 am

MollyL

Purple

9:30 am

BzznBea

We planted Grey zucchini.

9:30 am

bichon

hot pink

9:30 am

rururocks

never heard of grey zucchini

9:31 am

bichon

picyure, pls

9:31 am

BzznBea

I know. I did plant some golden zucchini as well. It hasn't started producing.

9:31 am

MollyL

It's almost bread making time

9:32 am

rururocks

it's almost support zucchini photo time
:D

9:32 am

MollyL

Maybe Bea's support zucchini can give out free therapeutic advise in the chat

9:32 am

BzznBea

I will try to get pics, bichon. They are really a pale green with white ish grey spots on them. The leaves are huge, dark green with grey veins.

9:33 am

hokie carla

interesting, never heard of golden zucchini. how does that differ from yellow squash?

9:33 am

MollyL

You can also do a Google search for pictures

9:33 am

hokie carla

yeah, but I'm wondering more about ta5

9:34 am

MollyL

I can't taste the difference between one squash and another. Maybe because I don't care for it.

9:34 am

BzznBea

I'm not sure, Carla. But there is a difference between yellow squash and zucchini.

9:34 am

hokie carla

which isn't in the grid haha

9:34 am

BzznBea

We love it. I made a Japanese squash dish earlier in the week. It was yumm.

9:35 am

hokie carla

zucchini is squash, right?

9:35 am

rururocks

yup

9:36 am

BzznBea

A friend of mine posted a FB meme where you were to take a picture of yourself psoing like the model with what you had at your right side at that moment. I had a zuchini...LOL!

9:36 am

hokie carla

I didn't always like veggies but learned to love zucchini. now I think I like yellow squash more.

9:36 am

rururocks

nothing like a picture of someone fondling a large zucchini

9:37 am

mixi6

9:37 am

BzznBea

I was rubbing it against my face...=)

9:37 am

mixi6

9:38 am

hokie carla

9:38 am

BzznBea

I love it, mixi.

9:38 am

rururocks

that's hilarious bea

9:38 am

mixi6

I saw that, but found two anyway. Thanks

9:39 am

hokie carla

9:39 am

rururocks

well.. it's true homie.. this grid has no taste

9:39 am

mixi6

9:40 am

hokie carla

9:42 am

penquis

*wondering if carla eats the grids after finishing them"....

9:42 am

hokie carla

I think there are a lot of weird v's in general, are these weird today? I have 4.

9:43 am

hokie carla

only if they have food in them, pen

9:43 am

marksdolly

most of the V's I've found are fairly common in other word games

9:44 am

hokie carla

my 4 v's are 4's

9:44 am

mixi6

Phantom : tofu

9:44 am

marksdolly

9:45 am

marksdolly

I'm still missing 2 of the v's

9:45 am

BzznBea

I thought so too, Carla.

9:45 am

penquis

make that 3.....love it when people ask about something in chat...makes me look harder....

9:45 am

marksdolly

treat

9:45 am

hokie carla

trying to wrap my head around that 7 - why the one vowel?

9:45 am

marksdolly

oops

9:45 am

rururocks

hokie should look at lungs?

9:46 am

BzznBea

I've been adding that suffix to everything.

9:46 am

hokie carla

LOL ru

9:46 am

marksdolly

it works for a lot of em Bea :)

9:46 am

rururocks

zucchiniest?

9:46 am

hokie carla

9:47 am

BzznBea

Yes! Those are the biggest ones, Ru.

9:47 am

mixi6

1 v left

9:47 am

BzznBea

Try using the last vowel in those V's

9:48 am

hokie carla

just made up va5

9:48 am

rururocks

*waves to Doren*

9:48 am

BzznBea

Un plural it.

9:49 am

BzznBea

That is a word isn't it...?

9:49 am

hokie carla

oh, it's a coin

9:49 am

MollyL

According to my friend Guinness...the longest zucchini was 8 feet and the heaviest was 64 pounds. Something to aspire to, Bea.

9:49 am

BzznBea

Make it singular. There. Proper English.

9:49 am

mixi6

Bees vanquished

9:49 am

hokie carla

v's done, thanks bea! though I did see the singular when I checked the def. surely I would have eventually tried that.

9:50 am

BzznBea

I could do it, Molly. It might not be edible...

9:50 am

hokie carla

LOL, spell check strikes again, mixi

9:50 am

rururocks

it's more rubbable bea

9:50 am

MollyL

I'm wondering how edible some of those "largest" vegetables are.

9:50 am

mixi6

Does not sound appealing!

9:50 am

mixi6

Yup

9:50 am

MollyL

Oh man Ru, you are treading in dangerous water.

9:51 am

hokie carla

I think they're not

9:52 am

BzznBea

Yeah, we better squash this line of conversation before we all get in trouble.

9:53 am

rururocks

we could talk about pumpkins

9:54 am

BzznBea

Finally count on the blueberry jam...I got 36 half pints. That's a lot of jammin'!

9:56 am

rururocks

wow bea

9:56 am

rururocks

that's a ton of work

9:57 am

BzznBea

It was, but worth it. The peaches will be next. That is more work.

10:11 am

hokie carla

hey nan

12:00 pm

cybernan

wish they were in shops here -- maybe some of the young people would buy them and wear them. Now that tourist season is in full swing and the beaches and bars are open we have gone from 0 new cases per day to 20-30 per day --- not happy. Wish they would close the bars and tell the tourists that all of our hotels have bedbugs and cockroaches!

12:02 pm

bichon

I have to say that people in Connecticut wear their masks seriously

I think when they are able to trace the source of an infection, that person should receive a card informing them of the number of people who are sick and have died as a result of their inconsiderate actions

12:09 pm

bichon

If that were to help, great. There's lots of people who just don't give a damn

12:10 pm

hello

6:15 pm

dan2bit

evening all! did we have the racism discussion already about sp4/6?

6:17 pm

harpjane

I wasn't here if we had it. But I noticed recently that 'Coon" is not in the Words With Friends dictionary

6:17 pm

dan2bit

I'm fine not having it, to be clear :-)

6:18 pm

MollyL

It seems we have the racism discussion every time one of these words crop up. Are they offensive? Yes. Are they in the dictionary? Yes. Which makes them playable in a word game.

6:18 pm

harpjane

I had to look it up, to make sure there was no other definition....life in a small town

6:19 pm

ChampFit

Maybe it's being used as part of the phrase..."."*** n' span".

6:21 pm

harpjane

That's what I thought but it wasn't listed as a definition.

7:29 pm
