10:23 am

MollyL

Thanks Zoom, I was wondering

MollyL

And suffix might be confusing since it's really just an additional consonant.

MollyL

I never got the attraction of Facebook. I do know that a lot of my friends have closed their accounts in the past year.

2:07 pm

hokie carla

I started on it back when they still required a .edu email address to register, and it was a lot of fun for a few years.

2:12 pm

hurshy

i hate Facebook but i love the connections it enables me to have, esp to college friends, and even alumni that i didn't know at the time, and to people interested in discussing certain topics and stuff

2:12 pm

hokie carla

slightly stuck here with 28 left.

2:13 pm

hurshy

2:16 pm

hurshy

2:16 pm

hurshy

that's even crazier than me!

2:17 pm

hokie carla

might be the funniest thing I've ever seen on a trail, but we did run into some people with 2 goats once.

2:17 pm

hurshy

2:17 pm

hurshy

the cats i mean. well the goats too i guess

2:18 pm

moolingwa

well, that's 100 down

2:18 pm

hokie carla

she had them all on leashes (with the exception of one dangling by its arms from her back), but then she put them all into one jogging stroller and zipped the top shut.

2:18 pm

hokie carla

the goats were not leashed

2:18 pm

hokie carla

we actually saw cat lady in the parking lot

2:18 pm

hokie carla

i wonder if she will take them out of the stroller at any point and let them walk.

2:19 pm

hokie carla

3rd row is my biggest problem right now

2:20 pm

hurshy

i'm doing S, i need 3 top and 4 third row

2:20 pm

moolingwa

phantom theorizes

2:20 pm

hokie carla

2:20 pm

2:30 pm

hurshy

Love is the An6

2:31 pm

hokie carla

2:34 pm

hokie carla

I just gleeked all over my new laptop. no wonder the keyboard quit working properly on the last one

2:34 pm

moolingwa

you should have that looked at

2:35 pm

moolingwa

wouldn't nonsent be the singular of nonsense?

2:37 pm

hokie carla

no, then it would be nonsents

2:37 pm

moolingwa

stop being logical

2:37 pm

hurshy

yeah but since nonsent IS nonsense, it's kind of meta

2:37 pm

moolingwa

sintoot - flatulence

2:37 pm

moolingwa

now I like that hursh

2:38 pm

hokie carla

2:44 pm

periwinkle

104 here

3:03 pm

hurshy

3:04 pm

hurshy

aha, no, there aren't, phew

3:06 pm

hokie carla

still need 2 i's from the middle.

3:06 pm

hurshy

yeah that was what i needed

3:06 pm

hokie carla

nm

3:06 pm

hurshy

turns out i've gotten so used to british spellings that i forgot to try the american one

3:07 pm

hokie carla

was trying to make the brit sp work there

3:07 pm

hokie carla

same!

3:07 pm

hurshy

yeah

3:07 pm

hokie carla

now just need 1 F to finish that row

3:07 pm

MollyL

Hurshy do you spell words the Brit way?

3:08 pm

hurshy

sometimes, if i remember.

3:08 pm

hokie carla

I don't, but they trip me up here so often that I was trying to do it this morning

3:08 pm

hurshy

i always spell grey, not gray, idk if that's brit/american or just random

3:09 pm

hokie carla

I think I'm the only person here that uses gray instead of grey

3:09 pm

MollyL

No I mean like do you spell fetus foetus?

3:09 pm

hokie carla

4th row gray!

3:10 pm

MollyL

And stick u's into words like color and humor

3:11 pm

hurshy

i like to do the u in those - again, if i remember

3:11 pm

MollyL

And do you give out lolly's on Halloween and put the baby in the pram after changing her nappy

3:12 pm

hurshy

i think of foetus less as british spelling and more as latin spelling, though

3:12 pm

hurshy

well, i've basically never had any trick-or-treaters come, and i don't like babies, so...

3:12 pm

hokie carla

I heard George Clooney, who is from KY, saying nappy recently on a podcast. Now I know his wife is Italian and they live in Italy, but come on.

3:13 pm

hokie carla

otherwise he sounded like a very normal, down-to-earth person

3:13 pm

MollyL

People use Brit terms to put on airs. Like "ta"

3:13 pm

hurshy

if i am talking to british people online, i think i do tend to remember to use british terms like that though. and i definitely say "GP" for doctor, and i forgot for awhile that that's not something americans usually say

3:13 pm

hokie carla

do you have a mobile or a cell phone?

3:14 pm

hurshy

his wife isn't Italian, hokie, she's British

3:14 pm

moolingwa

still 24 :)

3:14 pm

hokie carla

that's neither here nor there

3:14 pm

hokie carla

had he never heard of a diaper in all his time in the US?

3:14 pm

hokie carla

20!

3:14 pm

hurshy

i do think i saw him in an interview recently saying how they thought it'd be great having the kids learn italian but now the kids can speak italian to each other and not have the parents understand them

3:15 pm

moolingwa

We use a hybrid of language in my house

3:15 pm

hokie carla

BTW, the podcast was Smartless which is hosted by 2 US Americans and a Canadian.

3:15 pm

MollyL

I don't think I have ever heard someone say that they don't like babies

3:15 pm

hokie carla

LOL, I agree Molly

3:16 pm

hurshy

i suppose many people don't admit it openly because it's frowned upon or whatever?

3:17 pm

hokie carla

I speak Appalachian English in my house all the time, and the youngest and I do all the Spanish we can (which doesn't amount to a hill of beans).

3:17 pm

MollyL

Who is Clooney married to? What I just looked up said his wife is Lebonese

3:17 pm

moolingwa

or a mesa of frijoles?

3:17 pm

hokie carla

I love babies. They're so cute and they smell so good.

3:17 pm

joym999

Hi hi all

3:17 pm

hurshy

she's of Lebanese descent but she was a British barrister

3:18 pm

MollyL

Same reason I don't talk much about how I don't like cats

3:18 pm

hurshy

Amal Clooney, i forget her maiden name

3:18 pm

joym999

I learned that gray is for the color is grey is a name. Unless it's the other way around; I always forget.

3:18 pm

hokie carla

well, a mesa is more a table top

3:18 pm

moolingwa

well yes, loma then

3:18 pm

moolingwa

had to look that up tho

3:19 pm

hokie carla

interesting joy. I do wonder why I'm the only one here that uses gray.

3:19 pm

hurshy

i just think grey seems ever so much smokier and foggier and more ephemeral so i prefer it

3:19 pm

MollyL

Wait a minute, she was Italian a minute ago

3:19 pm

hokie carla

I said she was, hurshy corrected me

3:19 pm

hurshy

that was what hokie said, but it was incorrect. they live in Italy now, that's all.

3:19 pm

hokie carla

and I think grey is too fancy and putting on airs

3:20 pm

moolingwa

grey grey grey

3:20 pm

hokie carla

need 1 N on bottom row and 2 T on last col to gray those 2 out

3:20 pm

hurshy

did we find other 8s and/or the 9? only have the he8 that was mentioned

3:20 pm

moolingwa

me too..and one more c

3:20 pm

hurshy

did you get no5/20 hokie?

3:20 pm

hokie carla

sn8/9 is the compound I was saying you should get

3:21 pm

hokie carla

wow, moo is so fancy

3:21 pm

hurshy

ah thanks

3:21 pm

moolingwa

moolingwa

I have a lot of air on right now

3:21 pm

moolingwa

tx, have them now hoke

3:21 pm

hokie carla

thanks, hurshy. I thought about it this morning from the upper N and declared it a phantom

3:22 pm

joym999

I need help with the HE7.

3:22 pm

hurshy

see that's why you put things just in case

3:22 pm

hurshy

he7 butts

3:22 pm

moolingwa

ah, missing the plural...musta typoed it earlier...tx hursh

3:22 pm

hokie carla

moolingwa

3:23 pm

hokie carla

3:23 pm

moolingwa

missing two as well

3:24 pm

moolingwa

well, found one...easy one I'd missed

3:24 pm

hokie carla

I did get the archaic britches one

3:24 pm

hurshy

not really any weird ones, maybe you don't have "more posh"? i'm missing one too tho

3:24 pm

moolingwa

and the other...also easy

3:24 pm

hokie carla

ok. will check my list twice like santa

3:25 pm

joym999

thanks for the butts!

3:25 pm

moolingwa

sonset - when your offspring finally leaves home

3:25 pm

hokie carla

found one t

3:27 pm

hurshy

then we both need one more

3:27 pm

moolingwa

off the bottom?

3:27 pm

hokie carla

I think my brother is tootier than most

3:27 pm

hurshy

no, the side

3:27 pm

moolingwa

oh

3:28 pm

moolingwa

still 2 off that one

3:28 pm

moolingwa

there's a singular plural

3:28 pm

moolingwa

and there's an odd 4

3:28 pm

hurshy

have the singular plural

3:28 pm

hokie carla

yeah, the singular plural is the britches

3:28 pm

hokie carla

yeah, the singular plural is the britches\

3:28 pm

hokie carla

yeah, the singular plural is the britches\

3:28 pm

hokie carla

yeah, the singular plural is the britches\

3:28 pm

hurshy

odd 4, i have some of the usuals, like to4/7 and tr4/7

3:29 pm

hokie carla

how can 4 be odd? it should be even

3:29 pm

moolingwa

yeah, the to was the one I was thinking of

3:29 pm

moolingwa

it's worth 7 points hoke...which is odd

3:29 pm

joym999

no 5, 20...wtf? Really?

3:30 pm

hokie carla

sure is, but still not the T I'm looking for

3:30 pm

moolingwa

totally

3:30 pm

moolingwa

I'm missing one off there now too

3:30 pm

hokie carla

yes, Joy, we have that one a bit. noway is that normal.

3:30 pm

hurshy

perhaps we all miss the same one!

3:31 pm

hokie carla

still have 5 4's left

3:31 pm

hokie carla

well, it's not toer, no matter how many times I try it

3:31 pm

joym999

Just got it...my grandpa used to say that all the time but I always thought it was two words. Still do, actually.

3:32 pm

moolingwa

I have 2x4 3x5 4x6 2x7 1x8

3:35 pm

hurshy

well, kinda stuck here with 10 to go, guess i'll list

3:36 pm

hurshy

weird pair of F's that rhyme with toxin(s)

3:37 pm

hurshy

blast, forgot that hw4

3:38 pm

hurshy

oh, should have gotten no7

3:38 pm

hokie carla

I have F finished. We had those weird ones just the other day.

3:39 pm

hurshy

maybe i didn't finish that day

3:39 pm

hokie carla

no7 was the first word I saw this morning

3:40 pm

hurshy

aha, sh8, compound

3:40 pm

hokie carla

could've sworn that was 2 words

3:42 pm

hurshy

last T was "sorta like 2000 pounds"

3:43 pm

hurshy

and i didn't know you could spell a dog bark that way!

3:44 pm

joym999

30 words left...trying to finish before I fall asleep. Got my 2nd jab today and I'm getting woozy.

3:48 pm

moolingwa

I think it's an onomatopoeia for the sound of a sudden burst of flame

3:48 pm

hokie carla

ah, we have that T occasionally and I always miss it

3:49 pm

hokie carla

moo, I think you are talking about wo5 and she's talking about wh5

3:49 pm

moolingwa

I was talking about the wh

3:49 pm

hokie carla

had both those but still need 1 w

3:50 pm

hokie carla

oh, now you're just talking nonsents

3:50 pm

moolingwa

I think of the wo as more the sound of something speeding by you...just me though?

3:50 pm

hokie carla

no

3:50 pm

moolingwa

would think woohoo would work right?

3:51 pm

hokie carla

woohoo!!

3:51 pm

hokie carla

woohoo!!

3:51 pm

moolingwa

now with extra exclamations

3:51 pm

hokie carla

really, it's hit or miss with enable

3:52 pm

hokie carla

still 15 here - 7 are S, 5 H, W, 2 R

3:52 pm

moolingwa

that last 8..sheesh

3:53 pm

hokie carla

I know it's a thing but it's 2 words!

3:53 pm

moolingwa

and it's only arbitrarily a thing

3:54 pm

hokie carla

wonder what enable thinks of shoehorn

3:54 pm

hokie carla

probably allowed since that can also be a verb

3:54 pm

joym999

shoehorn is allowed

3:55 pm

hurshy

hokie, when you wonder that, just put it in the add word box. if it says it's not in the PUZZLE then it's allowed, if it says it's not in the DICTIONARY then it isn't

3:55 pm

moolingwa

and of course shoestring

3:56 pm

moolingwa

shoebill...

3:56 pm

moolingwa

but not shoebox

3:57 pm

hokie carla

yes, I know how that works, was just commenting to see others' takes. guess I'm just talking to hear myself talk though.

3:57 pm

moolingwa

and let's not forget shoepac/k

3:58 pm

hurshy

shoepac takur?

3:58 pm

hokie carla

no idea where my post just went

3:58 pm

moolingwa

yes...the famous footwear specialist who was taken down by a pair of doc martins

3:59 pm

Gillie

Apparently, "shoepac" is a word that would be accepted.

3:59 pm

moolingwa

yes it is

3:59 pm

moolingwa

but not shoebox

4:00 pm

moolingwa

9 left

4:00 pm

Gillie

There are some exceptions to that rule, hurshy. Recently it has been saying that "spam" isn't in the puzzle even when it is.

4:00 pm

moolingwa

let's hope our puzzles never get spammed

4:01 pm

hokie carla

where are my posts going?

4:01 pm

moolingwa

probably should stop using US Mail

4:01 pm

Gillie

Well, that one is visible to me.

4:01 pm

moolingwa

unless you're trying to build a fence

4:04 pm

MollyL

There is some glitch with the word spam. A player claims that Dr. God agreed to add it. Ever since then, it has been saying "not in the puzzle" even if it is.

4:05 pm

MollyL

Dr. God's response when I told him that: interesting.
That's all.

4:05 pm

Gillie

Probably the puzzles we've been doing were generated before he added it.

4:06 pm

hurshy

that's a plausible theory, Gillie (she said admiringly)

4:07 pm

hurshy

anybody get a pangram from today's Spelling Bee on the NYT?

4:07 pm

hurshy

i couldn't think of one

4:13 pm

hokie carla

weird, moo's shoesstring post was the last one I could see, but now I'm back

4:14 pm

hokie carla

that is a good theory, however, we ran out of puzzles not too long ago, and he had to generate a bunch more. that's how we found it he generates a bunch at a time instead of just a new one magically appearing every day.

4:15 pm

hokie carla

I think the spam glitch predates the new puzzles

4:17 pm

72 Temple Owl

i did not know that we ran out of puzzles.there are so many, i would not remember if there were repeats.

4:18 pm

Gillie

Possibly he updated the list that is used to check whether a word is in the dictionary during play, but not the list used when generating the puzzles (assuming they aren't the same).

4:19 pm

hokie carla

well one day there was an issue and Dr. God came in and said he'd run out of puzzles and had to generate more. maybe Molly remembers and I'm not crazy.

4:19 pm

Gillie

Yes, it seems like he could reuse old puzzles and likely no-one would notice.

4:22 pm

hokie carla

someone keeps a spreadsheet with different stats. who was that? I'm so bad at remembering names.

4:25 pm

72 Temple Owl

luc, i believe

4:31 pm

MollyL

That would be Montreal

4:32 pm

hokie carla

no, the one I'm thinking of wasn't Mont

4:34 pm

MollyL

Are you thinking of the alternate list? That doesn't work anymore

4:36 pm

hokie carla

no, we recently had 2 days in a row of same number of words and someone came in and last time it happened was just in Feb because she keeps a spreadsheet of things.

5:21 pm

Dorens

hurshy if you're reading this, I did get the pangram for today's NY Times Spelling Bee. It didn't jump out at me though.. took a while

i wish to goodness i had not changed my name when i got married, cause then i wouldn't have been changing it BACK when i got divorced and had this happen. let that be a lesson to all young women - DO NOT change your name! there are so many other hassles that come with it, too, some of which i've gone through and some of which i've heard from other women.
