12:38 pm

MollyL

Good chance it is the po5

12:39 pm

hokie carla

oh, I think it's po5

12:39 pm

MollyL

There is an echo in here

12:39 pm

hokie carla

pinch poke, you owe me a coke.

12:40 pm

MollyL

No my dear, you owe me a beer

12:42 pm

Wendrie

fw! Night all :) Unless anyone needs a clue?

12:44 pm

moolingwa

ah yeah, that's a word

12:44 pm

moolingwa

tx to both of you

1:00 pm

MollyL

Not a word most people know

1:02 pm

hokie carla

not even dictionary.com knows

1:09 pm

hurshy

po5:
an armadillo, Euphractus sexcinctus, native to South America and characterized by its six moveable bands

1:10 pm

clg47

po 5,18 - the one the dictionary does not know - ugh! But the list knows cuvee and raita and they are not recognized. I was happy to find cuvee. Thanks for the definition of po5 Hurshy

1:13 pm

moolingwa

cuvee and raita were added in later versions of the dictionary

1:16 pm

MollyL

Sometimes I feel like people are posting in a language other than English here.

1:22 pm

hokie carla

ugh, an amazon package says USPS tried to deliver this morning but was unsuccessful and now they're holding it per my request. none of that is true. and they didn't leave a note or anything so I don't even know when it is supposed to be available for pickup and I have to go inside the PO when I do.

1:23 pm

hokie carla

this was the 4th out of 4 curtain rods I ordered all at the same time and they each shipped separately. got 3 the other day, each in a box big enough to hold 10 or 12.

1:23 pm

hokie carla

I guess I'm never seeing the 4th

2:01 pm

Angela

Carla - My amazon package delivery alerts say the same thing...it usually means the package arrived at the local PO and will be delivered by the postal worker the next day :)

2:03 pm

LuvWordGames

th 7/36 please?

2:04 pm

Dorens

not here + hypocondr***

2:04 pm

hokie carla

yeah, it has to be something screwy like that, angela. no way were they actually here this morning and no reason they wouldn't have been able to leave it. no signature required, no dog in the yard.

2:05 pm

LuvWordGames

thanks Dorens, thats fw for me :-)

2:06 pm

hokie carla

I wasn't going to head to the PO today anyway, I did that once before and it was still on the truck that supposedly tried to deliver. that's why it's nice when they leave an actual note saying when it's available to pickup.
