nbt/nbs

9:16 am

hokie carla

I know enable way predates it and that it is a proper noun, but I can't help wanting to type waze

9:17 am

dauber

Ignorant question: "nbt/nbs" ?? What are those TLAs?

9:18 am

hokie carla

well, I don't know what TLA means, but nbt means no blank tiles (under tile stats) and nbs means no blank stats (under word stats). not sure why it's not nbw

9:19 am

dauber

"TLA" = "three-letter acronym" or "three-letter abbreviation"

9:19 am

hokie carla

some players use that as a benchmark for themselves

9:19 am

hokie carla

ah, thanks

9:20 am

hokie carla

my benchmark is half on each tile, and I am currently not meeting it thanks to 2 of the A's

9:20 am

rururocks

(chuckles at Hokie)

9:21 am

hokie carla

for not knowing an acronym? :D

9:21 am

rururocks

... an acronym she didn't know (queen of the acronyms)

9:21 am

hokie carla

did you know that one, ru?

9:21 am

rururocks

no.. no clue.. I'm terrible with acronyms..

9:22 am

hokie carla

couldn't someone who is for tearing down buildings be a razist?

9:28 am

rururocks

or someone who takes away someone's humor dewits them

9:29 am

hokie carla

I'm satised with that

9:29 am

hokie carla

satisied

9:32 am

MollyL

What? There is an acronym Carla doesn't know/use?
Inconceivable.

9:32 am

phaeton

hello...last word - de7 help pls

9:33 am

hokie carla

remove h2o

9:33 am

Legal term. Especially if you ever dealt with, say, Nintendo. Copyright.

dauber

Oh, there's another one??? Thanks, hokie!

9:34 am

phaeton

ty carla

9:41 am

hokie carla

np

9:42 am

hokie carla

9:42 am

hokie carla

and well done, phaeton on your fireworks!

9:45 am

hokie carla

hokie carla

10 left here

10:35 am

moolingwa

45 left now

10:36 am

hokie carla

but I may never see these last 10, so then is it still easy?

10:37 am

moolingwa

nope

10:39 am

hokie carla

9!

10:40 am

moolingwa

22

10:40 am

10:42 am

hokie carla

hokie carla

guessed at my last v and it was a 4 so you have it

10:51 am

moolingwa

was it the first one?

10:51 am

hokie carla

guessing we prob need the same A's and R and the same 7

10:51 am

hokie carla

yes, first v

10:51 am

moolingwa

yeah, that would seem a good bet

10:52 am

hokie carla

I have a guess for v, but you should get it easy

10:52 am

moolingwa

although, I might have need for a different one

10:52 am

moolingwa

on the a's that is

10:53 am

hokie carla

MLFAN17

PHANTOM heaviest

11:09 am

hokie carla

lol, my last R was a regular 4, and by regular I mean we have it a lot, not that I know what it means

11:10 am

moolingwa

my last was a 6...coz I thought it was a noun :)

11:10 am

hokie carla

ah, just guess at all those - the def had noun first and then verb

11:11 am

hokie carla

*guessed

11:11 am

hokie carla

ooh, my early birthday present just arrived - new macbook

11:11 am

moolingwa

oh, you're getting rid of the 20 year old rig?

11:12 am

hokie carla

LOL, yes. the keyboard has been acting up for about a week. T's dropping and placing randomly. I'm sure I could take it to a genius and get it cleaned, but decided to treat myself. :D

11:13 am

moolingwa

yeah, you should give the old one an appropriate recycling

11:13 am

hokie carla

yep

11:13 am

hokie carla

and it's the late 2012 model, so not hardly 10 years :P

11:14 am

hokie carla

I have also been running out of storage for years and have to clean it off every so often, so I sprung (sprang?) for much more this time.

11:15 am

moolingwa

I was in Florida in 2012...that's a long time ago

11:15 am

hokie carla

yeah, my kids weren't even preteens then

11:16 am

moolingwa

sprang I think

11:16 am

hokie carla

had 3 windows laptops before that that only lasted about a year each, so I feel I got my money's worth on the mac

11:16 am

moolingwa

indeed

11:16 am

hokie carla

ok, I gotta get serious and find these last 5. AA A TT

11:17 am

moolingwa

I have windows laptop, but ipad and iphone...don't really care either way on the technology

11:17 am

hokie carla

4, 2x5, 6, 7

11:17 am

moolingwa

I did try android once...hated it

11:17 am

hokie carla

I had a droid phone before iphone. I liked it because it was my first smart phone but it had a lot of issues.

11:18 am

hokie carla

once I switched to iphone I wasn't switching back

11:18 am

moolingwa

I started with iphone, went to android, and quickly went back to iphone

11:19 am

hokie carla

my firstt one was the 4, most people I know started with the 4S, but no siri for me. :D

11:19 am

moolingwa

3S was my first one

11:20 am

hokie carla

I've been hearing a dove or pigeon real close by and just saw a little head peeking into the window.

11:21 am

moolingwa

I remember dropping it a couple of days after I got it in a parking lot...after that the GPS wasn't so accurate

11:21 am

moolingwa

my guess would be a mourning dove

11:21 am

moolingwa

or perhaps a collared dove

11:21 am

hokie carla

yes, I was going to say mourning dove. it's doing that whoo-ee whooo

11:21 am

moolingwa

yep

11:22 am

moolingwa

rock doves (pigeons) tend to be more urban

11:22 am

moolingwa

though I used to get them in Miami

11:22 am

hokie carla

yeah, I've never been sure of the difference

11:23 am

hokie carla

but now I'm singing feed the birds from mary poppins

11:23 am

moolingwa

Mourning doves have the long tails, are relatively uniform pale brown color

11:23 am

moolingwa

rock doves can vary somewhat, although are the classical grey with green iridescence on the head

11:24 am

hokie carla

it flew away when I walked over, but they hang out on our deck all hte time. I hink these are more gray than brown.

11:25 am

moolingwa

https://madisonaudubon.org/fff/2016/10\n/31/mourning-dove

11:26 am

moolingwa

ah...I did tinyurl, but guess I didn't copy properly

11:26 am

hokie carla

uh-oh. LOL. chat police on their way.

11:26 am

moolingwa

bring it on

11:26 am

hokie carla

was just googling that myself and noticed they used to be called the carolina pigeon

11:27 am

moolingwa

Mourning doves are native...Rock Doves and Collared Doves not so

11:30 am

hokie carla

alright, I'm going to have to get busy here. guess I will return later for the last 5. may your workday be light. adios!

11:30 am

3:50 pm

hokie carla

I have 2 T's and 3 A's

3:52 pm

hokie carla

I'm about to give up and use the list

3:53 pm

amelu0218

what are your stats?

3:53 pm

hokie carla

I need a 4, 2x5, 6, 7

3:53 pm

amelu0218

the open ones, lol.

3:54 pm

hokie carla

I don't know why I can't find the 4 when there's only 3 open tiles.

3:54 pm

amelu0218

Do you have 3 t7

3:54 pm

hokie carla

yes

3:56 pm

amelu0218

3 t6?

3:56 pm

hokie carla

yes

3:57 pm

amelu0218

6 t5?

3:58 pm

hokie carla

OMG, it was an alt sp of my nemesis, the old russian ruler

3:58 pm

hokie carla

the other T is a 7, so there must be 4

3:59 pm

amelu0218

That was my guess, lol. I totally didn't see that because I'm used to it starting with a C

3:59 pm

hokie carla

I'm used to the TS

4:01 pm

amelu0218

yeah, same here. totally ignored it then gave it a whirl, lol! Dur!

4:03 pm

hokie carla

should have gotten that last A in the middle

4:03 pm

amelu0218

Yes, 4. my bad, I miscount all the time, even when I go back and count 3 times. just selective blindness I reckon.

4:04 pm

hokie carla

ok, now down to that t7.

4:07 pm

hokie carla

had to look it up. maybe if I were english I would have seen it.

4:07 pm

amelu0218

yes, the compound one.

4:28 pm

amelu0218

sheesh, even with the list my monkeys were busy, lol

4:28 pm
