mattygroves

prepal - a friend you haven't met yet

4:22 am

MollyL

Ah, good one Matty. I thought it was PayPal's new early payment service.
? D

4:23 am

MollyL

weds

4:23 am

MollyL

And that is what happens if I chat before I'm done with the first cup of coffee.

5:01 am

mattygroves

And good morning!

5:01 am

mattygroves

And good morning!

5:20 am

MollyL

Hi Matty, I am on cup two now so I should be able to navigate chat and the word box
: D

5:25 am

mattygroves

Excellent. I've moved on from coffee to Diet Coke

5:42 am

MollyL

How is your grand girlie and is there any news on when you might get your hands on her?

6:00 am

mattygroves

At the moment, they're saying maybe 2022 - the current plans that the Australian PM talks about is closed borders (except for NZ and some Pacific Islands) through next year

6:01 am

mattygroves

But Matilda is excellent. VERY cute

7:16 am

BzznBea

Fifty two P words...Wow!

7:31 am

MollyL

Power to the P, right on

7:31 am

BzznBea

Good morning, Molly.

7:32 am

MollyL

Poor Matty. That is a VERY long time to wait to meet your first grandchild.

7:33 am

BzznBea

No kidding. I don't know how she does it.

7:33 am

MollyL

Hi Bea

7:35 am

MollyL

I wonder if family members are going to re-think living far away from one another as a result of all this. I know I would if I were in that situation.

7:36 am

BzznBea

I think a lot of things will be given more consideration after this.

7:37 am

mattygroves

I think, though, Sarah and Tim have (and indeed are now) made their lives in Australia now so I think we're stuck apart

7:38 am

BzznBea

Do you get to zoom or facetime with Matilda?

7:45 am

MollyL

I was thinking more of people who have not yet made the decision to live far away from family. Those who already have are more or less stuck with what they have decided, I guess.

7:46 am

MollyL

Previous to this virus experience, distance was not so much of a problem. You could hop on a plane and be somewhere in a matter of hours.

7:48 am

mattygroves

We facetime fairly frequently (maybe once a fortnight) and message regularly - almost daily

7:49 am

BzznBea

At least Matilda can hear your voice and see your face.

7:51 am

MollyL

Matty, I don't know if you are into writing or not, but a Grandma journal would be a great thing to work on during this time that you are separated.

7:51 am

mattygroves

That's not a bad idea - thank you! And yes, I do enjoy writing.

7:52 am

mattygroves

Some stuff what I wrote :) https://drablr.com/mattygroves

8:10 am

MollyL

Interesting format there with the brevity limit.

8:16 am

BzznBea

Molly, have you seen any delicata squash in your area?

8:18 am

MollyL

Not this year, but I haven't really been looking. We are not squash lovers.

8:19 am

BzznBea

We had some again last night. I have to go to TJ's to find them.

8:20 am

hokie carla

drive-by y'all...good morning

8:20 am

hokie carla

I need to go to TJ's. haven't been in a long time.

8:20 am

BzznBea

Good morning...Heading to an exercise class are you?

8:21 am

hokie carla

finished the S, L, W, & small T. oh, and smaller A. 43 left for later.

8:21 am

BzznBea

I'm going again next week. Hope they have more of the squash. Also Cookie Butter...out last time and Mom was so disappointed.

8:21 am

hokie carla

yes, just a few minutes. I can't move from yesterday but we'll see how it goes.

8:22 am

BzznBea

I am all gray except for some midle letters.

8:22 am

hokie carla

nice

8:22 am

Judi

Hiyas, kiddos!

8:23 am

hokie carla

i've heard the cookie butter is delicious

8:23 am

hokie carla

hiya judi

8:23 am

BzznBea

Good morning, judi

8:23 am

mkg

hi all. need clue for the N word. ty

8:23 am

hokie carla

think baby, mkg

8:23 am

BzznBea

It is yummy. Mom can't eat peanut butter so that is her sub.

8:25 am

Judi

Anyone have a clue for the Up6/24?

8:25 am

BzznBea

I can't believe enable doesn't allow perps.

8:26 am

hokie carla

I only have up5 and wondered what the rest were

8:26 am

hokie carla

I can, bea

8:26 am

BzznBea

You are probably sitting on it, judi

8:26 am

Judi

NM. Found it.

8:26 am

Judi

Apparently I'm thinking on it too, Bea.

8:26 am

BzznBea

LOL!

8:27 am

BzznBea

I need food...

8:32 am

mkg

got n word. great clue. ty

8:39 am

welki

i had to look up cookie butter - holy moly! when my kids were little, they loved spreading nutella onto windmill cookies

8:39 am

MollyL

Finally finished the P's. I need a drink.

8:41 am

hokie carla

argh, we had 5 on zoom and the gym trainer never showed up

8:41 am

welki

(and i've only been able to find delicata squash here once, a few years ago - i think dorens had posted that it was delicious, and it was)

8:41 am

hokie carla

wow, I need 10 p's. no idea what they might be.

8:42 am

MollyL

No fair to the gym trainer for standing you all up

8:42 am

hokie carla

very annoying

8:43 am

BzznBea

Funny story...

8:44 am

BzznBea

I told you my microwave died. Mr. Bea was also informed. He stood at the microwave for five minutes yesterday warming his lunch.

8:44 am

Wendrie

lol

8:44 am

Judi

RIP Bea's microwave.

8:45 am

hokie carla

we've been paying full price the entire time. actually, one month they gave a tiny discount. (the gym)

8:45 am

hokie carla

LOL, bea

8:46 am

BzznBea

I would think they would try a bit harder, Carla. So many gyms have closed permanently becuase of the pandemic.

8:47 am

hokie carla

I know. I stupidly signed an 18mo contract last fall because of course I was going to be here for the next 18 mos. going to the gym. no idea a pandemic would come.

8:51 am

Judi

Clue for the Re7? My last 7.

8:51 am

MollyL

I'm sorry but I am laughing at the picture of Mr. Bea trying to warm his lunch in the dead microwave.

8:52 am

MollyL

It ends in picnic pest Judi

8:52 am

Wendrie

I was too Molly :)

8:53 am

Judi

Ty, Molls.

8:53 am

MollyL

Mr. Bea, just aimlessly pressing the button over and over again and nothing happeneing.

8:53 am

hokie carla

ok, one of the others there texted the gym and talked them into doing it with the 10:30 class. they should do zoom with every single class. how hard is it to turn on the camera?

8:54 am

hokie carla

sounds like he might be as unobservant as mr. homie.

8:54 am

Judi

Time for a break. 41 left

8:54 am

MollyL

A lot of companies are actually making money off this virus. As in, being paid for services they are not providing. My condo association did not open the pool this summer. Did we get a rebate on our Homeowner's fees? Nope.

8:56 am

BzznBea

Poor Mr. Bea ate cold meatloaf and mac and cheese for lunch.

8:56 am

rururocks

has he ever heard of an oven and stove?

8:56 am

hokie carla

when it first started, my friend's husband was like, you all need to keep paying so they stay in business. but they were providing nothing then.

8:57 am

hokie carla

yeah, it the old days before microwaves people reheated stuff

8:57 am

BzznBea

He didn't want to wait that long. LOL!

8:57 am

rururocks

oh jeez

8:58 am

hokie carla

I think mr. bea is not on board with not replacing the microwave

8:58 am

BzznBea

You are correct, Carla.

8:59 am

BzznBea

He has started the search.

8:59 am

hokie carla

I really can't think of any up word you would sit on.

8:59 am

LuvWordGames

not front

9:00 am

BzznBea

How about another word for raisng your children

9:00 am

hokie carla

wow, did not have the other part of that yet and took a min to see it. thx

9:01 am

hokie carla

and I was thinking of the clue as the entire word, not up+ something you sit on

9:01 am

rururocks

(says the woman who likes big butts)

9:01 am

hokie carla

ok, smarties, what is my missing o?

9:02 am

rururocks

ow4

9:03 am

mattygroves

I'd guess a weird ow4 or a slightly weird op4. But it ain't over until the fat lady sings (if it's that one)

9:03 am

mattygroves

What's my missing u?

9:03 am

hokie carla

I have 3. one is odd so probably the one you're thinking ru

9:04 am

BzznBea

I was thinking it was that one too, Matty

9:04 am

rururocks

then what aunt bea did all the time op4

9:04 am

hokie carla

wow, matty, it was the 5. I thought that was a phantom. couldn't go the other way

9:04 am

mattygroves

Found my missing u

9:04 am

rururocks

or a singing concert

9:04 am

hokie carla

1st col gray!

9:05 am

hokie carla

again, argh is not a word on enable

9:06 am

BzznBea

My kids went to Minnesota yesterday to look at houses and such. Snow on the ground. =)

9:06 am

hokie carla

are the u's all up? can't imagine they could be otherwise but still missing 2

9:07 am

hokie carla

ew, no thanks, bea. way too early.

9:07 am

BzznBea

All up's

9:07 am

hokie carla

ooh, got another u

9:08 am

hokie carla

and there's the last

9:09 am

rururocks

phantom: placate

9:10 am

hokie carla

thanks, that helped me see pa6 somehow

9:11 am

BzznBea

Wonder if Mr. BEa would start looking for a new computer for me if I started feeding him parts from this POS for dinner.

9:12 am

hokie carla

LOL

9:12 am

rururocks

(bets on a microwave showing up before a new computer)

9:13 am

BzznBea

Me too. LOL

9:14 am

rururocks

Bigger screen and he can see more of Cindy

9:15 am

rururocks

maybe that's not a good idea

9:15 am

BzznBea

He is reconfiguring shelves in the pantry to accomodate a microwave and the airfryer combo.

9:15 am

BzznBea

Not a good idea.

9:15 am

hokie carla

nice!

9:16 am

rururocks

nice that he's handy.. I am just not good at building things

9:16 am

hokie carla

alecan - a can of beer

9:24 am

hokie carla

well, off to the basement to try zoom class again. 30 for later.

9:30 am

BzznBea

I'm back from a blue screen crash.

9:34 am

MollyL

Dear Santa, Please send Bea a new computer for Christmas.

9:35 am

mattygroves

Precat = kitten

9:36 am

BzznBea

I was just asked my priorities for a new freezer, the air fryer or a new computer.

9:36 am

BzznBea

And I was reminded that Christmas is coming up.

9:37 am

BzznBea

Not because I will get a new computer, but because we have a lot of $$$ going out that month.

9:48 am

BzznBea

Has the re7 been clued?

9:49 am

rururocks

we need to start a go fund me campaign for you bea for a new computer :D

9:50 am

rururocks

9:50 am

BzznBea

Yes, please.

9:51 am

rururocks

short for sales representative + consonant + picnic pest

9:52 am

BzznBea

TYVM

9:52 am

rururocks

yw

9:53 am

MollyL

I agree. GO FUND BEA'S COMPUTER!!!

9:54 am

BzznBea

In the grand scheme of things, a new computer is trivial compared to what others must do without.

9:55 am

rururocks

i can ship you mine when i buy a new one soon

9:56 am

rururocks

I'm foregoing the microwave purchase :D

9:57 am

11:41 am

marksdolly

no worries

11:41 am

penquis

11:41 am

No worries... anyone who says they haven't is lying... lol

11:41 am

Jen34

SO true!

11:43 am

hokie carla

thanks molly, that was it. I knew it was something with that 3rd letter.

11:44 am

hurshy

despite all of that, somehow i still need 7 more P words lol

11:44 am

Jen34

LOL

11:44 am

heartbeat

can you rotate the board and if so how?

11:45 am

mamabook3

P words are killing me...

11:45 am

hurshy

no, heartbeat, you can't. sorries. :(

11:45 am

Jen34

No rotating board here!

11:45 am

sorry

11:48 am

hurshy

it's literally not just you

11:48 am

Jen34

No worries, we've all done it. And, very recently.

11:48 am

penquis

no problem.....we've all done it....

11:48 am

hurshy

lol

11:50 am

hurshy

phantoms: prelate, placate

11:51 am

penquis

and perpetual....

11:51 am

MollyL

Am I missing something? Why would someone want to rotate the board?

11:51 am

hurshy

ooh that's a phancy phantom

11:52 am

penquis

molly.....it is easier to see twisty words by rotating the board....other games like this allow it.....

11:52 am

hurshy

well, when i've played regular Boggle in real life, i have found that it often helps you see more things

11:52 am

penquis

the letters also rotate to a correct orientation for the viewer....

11:53 am

hurshy

unlike regular boggle in real life!

11:53 am

penquis

yes...

11:53 am

MollyL

Oh that just seems like a big cheat to me. I guess I have been playing this hard line for too long.

11:53 am

penquis

Spelling Bee, a similar game, allows rotation, too.....

11:54 am

penquis

well it's not a cheat if the game is set up that way....

11:54 am

hurshy

and if everyone has the same ability

11:54 am

MollyL

So if you rotate the board do you get to make the words that the new set up gives you?

11:54 am

hokie carla

yes, rotating the board in real life boggle is allowed and you can see a lot more words that way. therefore, I don't think it's cheating

11:55 am

hurshy

it doesn't change what words there are, molly. just your point of view.

11:55 am

hokie carla

it's not a new setup, you're just rotating 90 degrees or whatever

11:55 am

penquis

rotating doesn't change the order of the letters.....just the orientation of the board....the letters themselves stay upright.....

11:55 am

hurshy

if you imagine rotating this one 90 degrees clockwise, the top row would become WTEWO

11:56 am

aslindy

Hello all. Popped in earlier, my computer crashed before I entered any words. Let's try again.

12:53 pm

hurshy

i feel like the ninth Doctor when he was trying to figure out what planet an alien must be from by its characteristics. they kept naming traits and then he kept saying "narrows it down... narrows it down... narrows it down"

12:53 pm

hokie carla

behi rehi, nan

12:53 pm

ah, probably not

12:53 pm

moolingwa

12:56 pm

hokie carla

going to vote later today - currently researching all the smaller races

12:56 pm

moolingwa

I wonder if they have smaller candidates

12:57 pm

moolingwa

voting is so easy here in Colorado, almost makes me want to get neutralized

1:02 pm

hokie carla

well, they're not younger that's for sure. I think out of all the races I've seen 2 republicans under 65. a few older democrats as well but some younger ones at least.

1:02 pm

moolingwa

yay for old white guys....

1:02 pm

hokie carla

does neutralized mean naturalized or am I confused about what you're saying?

1:03 pm

moolingwa

yes, means naturalized

1:04 pm

hokie carla

last time I voted was 2 years ago (we didn't have any races to vote for last year) and it was fill in the dot on a rickety table and I was wearing my reading glasses and got motion sick. texted my friend to see if it was still that way and she told me to wear my wristbands. :D

1:05 pm

moolingwa

Here you get a ballot in the mail, and you just drive up and drop it off at a box

1:05 pm

hurshy

lol i was wondering about the neutralized thing myself

1:06 pm

hokie carla

are you still NZ, moo?

1:06 pm

hokie carla

do you all have mandatory voting like Aus?

1:07 pm

hokie carla

one time I saw an Aussie on the Charlotte subreddit looking for another Aussie to witness their ballot and then learned it was mandatory.

1:08 pm

hokie carla

*then I learned, I reckon they already knew

the r

5:56 pm

hokie carla

yes

5:57 pm

5:57 pm

hokie carla

I do

5:57 pm

hokie carla

I will tell you the R is not in my vocabulary but I have seen it here before

5:58 pm

hokie carla

5:59 pm

moolingwa

6:01 pm

moolingwa

found the r

6:01 pm

moolingwa

although it sounds like some sort of lizard cyborg

6:01 pm

hokie carla

yes, that's what I thought until I checked the def.

6:04 pm

moolingwa

well, not sure on this p5...want to posit a guess?

6:04 pm

hokie carla

I'm not sure which odd one you found earlier. they are both pa.

If you are having problems with morewords I recommend trying it in another browser.

7:35 pm

MollyL

And if you are still using Internet Explorer, that is probably the problem. Worst browser ever.

7:35 pm

Dorens

nope, firefox and i've never had a problem with it
