10:05 am

MollyL

It must be nice to have a backyard pool to enjoy. My son would love it, he loves swimming. He can't wait for the pool to open this year since it didn't last year.

10:07 am

hokie carla

we have a heated pool but haven't turned on the heat for it. keeps raining buckets.

10:08 am

hokie carla

Aloy, sounds about right :D

10:09 am

Aloyisius

our neighbor is putting in solar heating for his pool .. envious. We don't heat ours in the winter, $$$

10:09 am

hokie carla

yeah, it's pretty pricey, ours is gas

10:10 am

hokie carla

lol, just typed remidies like I was on to a big word

10:10 am

Aloyisius

electricity here

10:15 am

10:15 am

hokie carla

haha, zooz.

10:16 am

Aloyisius

when does it get warm enough for swimming, zooz?

10:16 am

zoozzoom

For me never. Others will swim normally around June/July.

10:17 am

hokie carla

what's the avg temp of the water in June/July (remember I need F)

10:17 am

zoozzoom

I am too fussy. For one it would never be warm enough for me. Two too many dead things in the sea for me. Including burials at sea. Yuck.

10:18 am

hokie carla

yeah, I'm not a huge fan of ocean water either

10:18 am

zoozzoom

YI would say around 50/ 55Â°F Tops.

10:18 am

hokie carla

plus, too many live things that might brush against your legs

10:18 am

hokie carla

oh yikes, that's way too cold

10:19 am

Aloyisius

brr.. no way for me

10:19 am

Turning chat off so I do not see clues. Not being rude.

10:20 am

hokie carla

only other one I have - he re7 himself for the day by drinking coffee, getting dressed, etc

10:20 am

Aloyisius

10:20 am

hokie carla

10:21 am

Aloyisius

12:20 pm

MollyL

And she said she had 9 do words

hokie carla

there are 4 do4/6. pretty sure it's the one I was saying was after do4 and gloom

12:20 pm

MollyL

The dwarf?

12:21 pm

hokie carla

it's an amino acid that converts to do4mine in the brain.

12:21 pm

cybernan

no -- 9 da words, do x 8

12:21 pm

hokie carla

12:21 pm

ItalianGreyhound

12:22 pm

hokie carla

12:23 pm

hokie carla

did you see my 12:21 clue where I basically gave it away?

12:23 pm

MollyL

do + not ma

12:24 pm

MollyL

There. Clued with three of the 4 letters. Do I remind you of anyone?

12:24 pm

ItalianGreyhound

I'm just going to enter all the Do's !

12:24 pm

cybernan

that was it carla -- had the idiot, but not the one before

12:24 pm

ItalianGreyhound

not

12:24 pm

cybernan

thanks everyone

12:26 pm

hokie carla

it takes a village sometimes ;D

12:28 pm

MollyL

It was clued so many times, I was sure she already had it

12:28 pm

MollyL

Especially after the do4mine clue

12:29 pm

cybernan

I had missed carla's clue at 12:21

12:29 pm

hokie carla

I think posts pop in after you've read stuff and she missed it

12:29 pm

cybernan

exactly

12:30 pm

MollyL

That is why I often scroll back and re-read when the chat is moving fast

12:30 pm

hokie carla

yep, happens to me quite a bit, so I'll scroll back and think, where did that come from?

12:31 pm

MollyL

This day is moving at a snail's pace. I can't believe it is only 1:30. I feel like I have been at work for 10 hours.

12:32 pm

hokie carla

that's the worst

12:36 pm

cybernan

with all the adulterated words that are now acceptable, wouldn't you think that x-ray would have become xray by now?

12:36 pm

hokie carla

mkg thought so earlier

12:39 pm

amelu0218

I am nose tothe brick wall at 62 to go mark.

12:39 pm

cybernan

49 to go here -- sure do miss lickety

12:42 pm

hokie carla

have made it down to 23

12:42 pm

hokie carla

but basically stuck

12:42 pm

hokie carla

nan, molly has the list in her profile

12:43 pm

amelu0218

I've been looking for that last do* for too long, lol. Totally not seeing it... and I've already taken a couple of breaks, no joy.

12:43 pm

cybernan

the m's are giving me grief -- still need 12 of them -- some of them have to be 4's!

12:43 pm

hokie carla

my last was do5, shaped like a cupola or such

12:44 pm

MollyL

There are people who are very used to being able to insert words into the Lickety format so profile lists don't appeal to them. I know Pen doesn't care for them.

12:44 pm

hokie carla

I need 5 M's and 7 P's!

12:45 pm

cybernan

all those vowels and not one cat sound!

12:45 pm

hokie carla

I do love the entering words feature of the list, but I'll use a profile list if necessary. back before lickety made that, I would enter profile lists into a spreadsheet and do it that way.

12:46 pm

MollyL

I have made spreadsheets before. It's tedious though

12:46 pm

MollyL

Lickety's bulk add feature is nice

12:47 pm

hokie carla

yeah, the bulk add was a game-changer

12:48 pm

cybernan

coming back later with fresh eyes

12:48 pm

amelu0218

I used to go to VolleymomDee's profile because she often had the list when Lickety was down but her list is old... Usually I just don't know who's profile to go to for list, so I trudge it out until I go word blind. (Forgot Molly had added to her profile, thanks for the reminder!)

12:49 pm

sammysmom

stuck on io 7 an 8 ??

12:50 pm

cybernan

put a vowel between a charged particle and a french sea

12:52 pm

sammysmom

thanks cyber.. i was getting cranky

12:52 pm

amelu0218

thanks nan!

12:53 pm

cybernan

yw -- bbl

12:54 pm

MollyL

Unless I'm having a really busy day, I usually add a "made" list to my profile. I don't log out so I always show up in Who's Online.

12:55 pm

MollyL

*Sigh* I miss Dee

1:02 pm

NANCY

MOLLY, did something happen to Dee?

1:06 pm

MollyL

No, but she doesn't post here anymore.

1:07 pm

NANCY

Oh, she doesnt play either?

1:07 pm

MollyL

She plays, she doesn't chat. I don't want to speak for her and get into the whys of that.

1:10 pm

NANCY

thanks for the info

1:12 pm

1:20 pm

periwinkle

zoozzoom

2:14 pm

hokie carla

I do not see any ra6, so will look, thx

2:17 pm

hokie carla

I reckon not a regular word since you guessed it right off the bat...

2:17 pm

zoozzoom

Yeah I would not use it put it that way lol

2:21 pm

hokie carla

well, peeked at molly's list to see the 3rd letter. new one on me. thx.

2:21 pm

zoozzoom

Welcome.

2:22 pm

Congrats, Dizgrannie!

2:33 pm

zoozzoom

Time for me to go. Goodluck with the rest of the grid, Hokie.

2:34 pm

hokie carla

have a good night, zooz

2:39 pm

MLFAN17

hokie your streets are flooded right now?

2:39 pm

hokie carla

yep, still flooded

2:39 pm

MLFAN17

uggh

2:39 pm

hokie carla

just right in front of my house

2:39 pm

MLFAN17

any water coming in?

2:40 pm

MLFAN17

stay safe hokie

2:40 pm

hokie carla

no, mr. homie has built a series of dams to divert it from our house. one at the sidewalk and the other in front of the flower bed in front of my sewing room (which is technically a living room)

2:41 pm

MLFAN17

ohh thats good

2:41 pm

hokie carla

I guess not a dam, not sure what that would be called

2:41 pm

MLFAN17

i think it stopped here or maybe slowed down

2:41 pm

MLFAN17

a wall?lol

2:42 pm

hokie carla

yes, it is either stopped or barely sprinkling, but since the drain pipe is busted it takes forever to recede

2:42 pm

MLFAN17

is the town coming to fix it anytime soon?

2:43 pm

hokie carla

supposed to be toward end of Apr

2:44 pm

MLFAN17

yeah probably have to since april can be rainy

2:45 pm

MLFAN17

our area had a pipe near us that had to be fixed 3 times as i guess they couldnt figure out where the problem was the first two times

2:47 pm

hokie carla

well, they have the job posted for contractors to bid on it until Apr. 21, and then whoever wins the bid has 30 days to fix it.

2:47 pm

MLFAN17

why do the bid?

2:49 pm

hokie carla

I wonder if they are required to. My bro works for DOT in another state and was surprised too.

2:49 pm

MLFAN17

that makes no sense they should prioritize

2:50 pm

hokie carla

I think we're just lucky they finally agreed to fix it.

2:50 pm

MLFAN17

but i admit took them a while ot get to the job that had to be done here

2:51 pm

hokie carla

this has been a problem for many years here but for a while it was just 50% collapsed, and now that it's all the way, it's really a problem. but it's probably been a year since we really started pushing them to fix it.

2:52 pm

MLFAN17

that is beyond ridiculous that could be a safety hazard

2:53 pm

hokie carla

how's the H going for you? I have 2 left and am really baffled. not a lot of options in the corner.

2:53 pm

MLFAN17

i have 8 left

2:53 pm

hokie carla

yeah, the fire dept has come and closed the road a few times if someone calls them

2:54 pm

MLFAN17

nice

2:54 pm

hokie carla

also 2 of 2nd col S that is a complete mystery

2:54 pm

MLFAN17

make that 5 left

2:54 pm

hokie carla

guess I should just use the list

2:55 pm

MLFAN17

me too 2 left on s 2nd column

2:56 pm

MLFAN17

well i am going to go now i dont know if i will be back or not. A lot more to find then probably anyone poof!

2:56 pm

hokie carla

2:56 pm

hokie carla

it's been a day...

3:10 pm

MollyL

Molsen isn't in the gird Carla. Nice entrance Hursh.

3:10 pm

hokie carla

it's okay. I don't know who's lurking but I only have 5 P's left.

3:10 pm

hurshy

well the second one isn't even a word without adding another letter anyway

3:10 pm

hurshy

and if you didn't have the first one, well, you need more help than i can give

3:12 pm

hokie carla

I'm probably going to have to spreadsheet for these P's. too confusing.

3:15 pm

hurshy

so i took a long-term sub job for some weeks, and started to day. and the teaching aspect was fine but physically i was a mess. i thought there would be like 5 mins to wolf something down early in the morning, but there wasn't. so i had no breakfast, nor the meds i usually take with breakfast, and was talking a lot with a mask, and i started to get dizzy and my vision was blurring out with these like bright spots, and i thought i was going to pass out. plus my back was killing me because i've been working at home, lounging in a comfy chair, and it was not ready to be standing all day

3:16 pm

hokie carla

oh no

3:16 pm

hokie carla

sounds like it was a doozy

3:16 pm

hurshy

yeah, needless to say, will adjust what i do tomorrow!

3:17 pm

hurshy

i got one i from the center col, io6, what else does that one have?

3:17 pm

hokie carla

wow, my last 4 was a word I used in the chat earlier thinking it wasn't here, and yet it was

3:17 pm

hokie carla

io7/8

3:20 pm

hurshy

ty

3:21 pm

hokie carla

wow, last 2 p's were also a phantom I thought. oh well, only 4 out of last 15 were words I should have gotten.

3:23 pm

HarryHood

hi hi

3:23 pm

HarryHood

60 to go here

3:23 pm

hurshy

hi harry

3:24 pm

HarryHood

hallo hurshy

3:24 pm

hokie carla

howdy harry

3:25 pm

HarryHood

hi carla

3:27 pm

hurshy

everything is so crazy too

3:28 pm

hurshy

there's like no school supplies in the classroom, because of COVID. so if a kid doesn't have a pencil, it's suddenly a major problem. technically they aren't even supposed to borrow one from each other, either

3:28 pm

hokie carla

I just started a show on smithsonian channel and the closed captions are like dutch or something. so weird.

3:29 pm

hokie carla

yeah, that would be weird, hurshy

3:29 pm

HarryHood

we have "silent lunch" - it is the eeriest thing

3:30 pm

HarryHood

four corners grayed :)

3:30 pm

hokie carla

silent lunch used to be for punishment ;)

3:31 pm

HarryHood

life kind of feels like a punishment when I look at the little kids these days.

3:31 pm

hurshy

yeah, i was in a 6th grade, i can't even imagine how you keep a class full of kindergarteners apart and not taking their masks off

3:31 pm

hokie carla

I bet. sad.

3:32 pm

HarryHood

ERs are saying they're getting more adolescents with suicidal ideations.

3:32 pm

HarryHood

what a mess

3:33 pm

hurshy

it's weird how a lot of kids have had problems, but then some, freed from bullying by distance learning, have thrived. i saw on kid post on reddit about how he doesn't want to go back, his grades are so much better now for that reason.

3:33 pm

HarryHood

yes I've seen that too hurshy. so strange.

3:34 pm

HarryHood

got a kid who is remote and she is not wanting to come in person.

3:34 pm

HarryHood

very happy to wake up late, keep ppl at arm distance.

3:34 pm

HarryHood

(a student, not a child of mine...)

3:34 pm

hurshy

well and if they are getting better grades, it's hard to argue with that

3:35 pm

HarryHood

def not getting better grades.

3:35 pm

hurshy

ah, then she has no good reason :D

3:35 pm

HarryHood

and it's very hard on the teacher. (me).

3:35 pm

hurshy

sorry to hear that harry :(

3:35 pm

HarryHood

I have to spend time with her on zoom outside of class, make up separate assessments, etc.

3:36 pm

hokie carla

high schoolers are going back Apr 13 here, but my senior is like, no way.

3:36 pm

HarryHood

just waiting for next year. and hoping they don't allow kids to stay remote without good reason.

3:36 pm

hurshy

sigh

3:36 pm

HarryHood

why carla?

3:38 pm

hokie carla

senioritis? likes signing in remotely and going back to sleep? doesn't have to leave before 7am to get to school?

3:38 pm

HarryHood

all of the above I guess.

3:38 pm

hokie carla

he also says nobody is going back. he was going before thanksgiving but no one was there and decided it was a waste of time.

3:39 pm

HarryHood

crazy.

3:39 pm

hurshy

yeah i saw a post the other day where they said, "studies show that teens do better with later start times and less homework, but apparently the puritan work ethic overrides all of that."

3:39 pm

hokie carla

each period was having like 45 min of study hall at the end of it and at home he can do whatever in that time

3:39 pm

hurshy

each PERIOD?

3:39 pm

hurshy

not just each day?

3:40 pm

hokie carla

I assume they'll go back to full class Apr. 13

3:40 pm

hokie carla

they only have 4 long periods in the school day

3:40 pm

hurshy

ah

3:41 pm

hokie carla

might be 30 min, I don't know. I just know for 4th period he had to stay until 2:15, whereas at home he's finished at like 1:30.

3:41 pm

hurshy

i wish my transcribing work were more sustainable so i could just keep on with that, sigh

3:43 pm

RoundBarn

hurshy, weren't you the one who said recently you missed the chats of old? I k0ostly lurk, but watch the chat. Rastapopolous is my daughter.

3:43 pm

hurshy

yes, i often mention that i miss the chats of old :)

3:44 pm

hurshy

always hoppin'

3:46 pm

RoundBarn

hopin' or hoppin'?

3:46 pm

hurshy

oh, folks, if you like detective shows, i watched one recently that's on Britbox (if you have that), called McDonald & Dodds, that was quite enjoyable. there are only two eps and idk if that's it for "season 1" or what, but they're longer, like Columbo was, like 90 min each.

3:46 pm

HarryHood

"I am serious and don't call me sharly"

3:46 pm

hurshy

hoppin', hoppin', there was never a lull of hours with nobody speaking in them da4

3:49 pm

HarryHood

40 to go!

3:50 pm

hurshy

i see what you mean about the P words, hokie

3:52 pm

HarryHood

HarryHood

3:54 pm

moolingwa

afternoon all...231 here

3:54 pm

RoundBarn

If I notice an empty period I will try to say something prob not worth saying--you may not be on, though, Hurshy.. I can always stick in what I write weekly for Illinois Times--

3:55 pm

hurshy

what sorts of things do you write about??

3:56 pm

hokie carla

moo, glad you made it since you're in the grid

3:56 pm

moolingwa

oh yeah, look at that

3:56 pm

moolingwa

3:57 pm

hokie carla

I tied with someone earlier for that :D

3:58 pm

RoundBarn

a great variety, that's why people like them. About every third one is political--I wrote comparing the golden calf in Exodus to the golden statue of trump in Florida. abt 15 lines.

3:58 pm

moolingwa

how's you day going hoke?

3:58 pm

hurshy

yeah that was a pretty glaring comparison, hard to miss

3:59 pm

hurshy

for those of us who grew up in sunday school at least

3:59 pm

crosshair

Howdy, Roundbarn. Your books still hold a special place on my shelves. :)

3:59 pm

hokie carla

pretty good, moo, how's it for you? must be busy.

3:59 pm

moolingwa

yeah, end of quarter

4:00 pm

4:01 pm

hokie carla

4:01 pm

hurshy

4:01 pm

moolingwa

I make one every never

4:01 pm

hokie carla

that was my resolution back in Jan, to finish these quilt tops my grandmother left behind.

4:01 pm

hokie carla

LOL, moo. and congrats on your shot.

4:02 pm

crosshair

I kept the book, and donated the pamphlet-sized ones to our local library so other can enjoy your stories.

4:02 pm

moolingwa

tx

4:02 pm

hokie carla

so, I do have a bit of a head start, hurshy

4:02 pm

hurshy

one of my college classmates was quilting, like whenever she'd be watching tv or whatever, but she was doing it like suuuuper intricate and all by hand so it was like a years-long type of project

4:02 pm

moolingwa

90 to go

4:03 pm

hokie carla

yeah, I do everything possible by machine, but my grandmother used to do a lot by hand.

4:04 pm

hurshy

she also did a lot of really hard classes, hard sciences/pre-med, she was a very impressive person

4:05 pm

hokie carla

I took chemistry and still wonder to this day, why, so I would say that is impressive.

4:05 pm

hurshy

lol

4:06 pm

hurshy

what's the other 8 besides the io8

4:06 pm

hokie carla

4:07 pm

hokie carla

4:07 pm

hurshy

and 7s, i have da, ho, io... help with others?

4:07 pm

RoundBarn

thanks, Crossy--did I ever report I finished Vol 4--the end of the trilogy? I'm a good writer but a bad publicist--I'm now giving aay the 1st 3 vols. for the postage, so that at my demise my kids won't have so much to tend to!

4:08 pm

hurshy

did you misapprehend what a trilogy is? lol

4:08 pm

hokie carla

4:09 pm

4:12 pm

hurshy

cause i do need 2 from the right

4:12 pm

hokie carla

yes

4:12 pm

RoundBarn

hurshy, the problem was, I kept shoving what there wasn't enough room for, into the next volume: then vol 3 filled up so I had to have a vol 4, but this allowed more pix, an index, other interesting things otherwise missed! you can check out my websites if you wish--jacqueline-jackson, and round bgarn stories I think they are called.

4:12 pm

hurshy

:D

4:15 pm

hurshy

5:24 pm

moolingwa

5:24 pm

HarryHood

and I keep getting visions of my favorite deceased shoestore - payless

5:25 pm

moolingwa

some=sun

5:25 pm

moolingwa

depomen = those helpful men at Home Depot

5:25 pm

hokie carla

I think so - all of them around here have closed up

5:26 pm

hokie carla

well I haven't been to the mall in like a year

5:26 pm

moolingwa

they still have a website

5:26 pm

moolingwa

or at least someone who sells shoes under the name payless does

5:26 pm

HarryHood

maybe it's just online now.

5:27 pm

moolingwa

could be

5:27 pm

moolingwa

yarsh - sean connery for yes

5:34 pm

moolingwa

then pedimen are people who help you move forward

5:34 pm

hokie carla

don't forget the UK spelling, paedimen.

5:34 pm

hokie carla

I think pedaler(s) should be a word.

5:35 pm

HarryHood

second that carla.

5:35 pm

moolingwa

yes, I may have tried that several times, even while believing it wasn't accepted

5:35 pm

HarryHood

hokie carla

hokie carla

5:39 pm

moolingwa

5:40 pm

hokie carla

I think I accidentally got that because I don't even remember typing it

5:41 pm

hokie carla

how can you not find the R by me saying it's new to me?

5:42 pm

moolingwa

I haven't found the r yet, but you saying it's new would mean that it's nor a regular word

5:43 pm

hokie carla

yes, I'm just joking that you find words with the vaguest of statements

5:43 pm

moolingwa

also, I have two R's left, so you're guessing it's a combo I assume...unless you missed that I had two

5:44 pm

HarryHood

also 2 Rs here

5:44 pm

hokie carla

nope, I missed there were 2

5:44 pm

HarryHood

and 22 others.

5:44 pm

hokie carla

nice, Harry, you're almost done :D

5:44 pm

moolingwa

5:45 pm

hokie carla
