J's justified
1:23 am
joym999
is8 was called a while ago, which I remember only because I've been unsuccessfully looking for it.
1:24 am
joym999
Ooh, I just found it. dizgrannie brought me good luck

mattygroves
May I have stats, please, for the lone E in the bottom row?
3:57 am
mattygroves
Have you got the point value, please?
3:59 am
stu mcc
Hi Matty , it's 36
4:02 am
mattygroves
Thanks stu! Looking. I hate vowel words
4:04 am
stu mcc
Me too , I usually do them last !
5:40 am
mattygroves
Not seeing that is8 - can anyone guide me please?
5:41 am
Haz1558
is8 - chemical word? The end sounds like what some people do in front of the mirror.
5:42 am
mattygroves
Got it, thanks Haz!
5:42 am
Haz1558
You're welcome.
5:45 am
mattygroves
Just when I think there can't be any more ps words, I find another :D
5:45 am
Haz1558
There are certainly plenty of them in this grid.
5:54 am
Haz1558
I'm heading off, enjoy the grid, it's an interesting one today, I think. Bye for now.
5:56 am
mattygroves
Laters!
6:38 am
Jeanius421
is IS8 weird or possible?
6:39 am
ItalianGreyhound
I think its a plastic
6:39 am
mattygroves
There's a hint at 5.41 am, just a few messages below this one - it did it for me!
6:39 am
Jeanius421
I saw that, did not ignite any brain cells
6:40 am
WoolyChris
it is synthetic rubber - used in wetsuits and floor mats
6:41 am
Jeanius421
ok, I got it, going with wrong spelling. Thanks
6:44 am
WoolyChris
actually my clue is incorrect - it is a chemical. the rubber starts with neo and is not in the grid
6:56 am
ItalianGreyhound
won't hold it against you, Chris :)
7:25 am
MollyL
When a clue says "sounds like" it usually denotes a different spelling
7:32 am
ItalianGreyhound
Hitchcock movie in grid!
7:53 am
Uneaixoise
Indeed!
7:54 am
Uneaixoise
Saw it , age 12.......scared the bejeesus out of me!!

7:55 am
hokie carla
I watched it recently, still holds up
7:57 am
HarryHood
clue for bottom E?
7:58 am
MollyL
Hitchcock movies will always hold up
7:58 am
MollyL
Harry, es + what you don't want your students to do on a test
7:58 am
HarryHood
ty molly!
7:58 am
HarryHood
didn't have the other word either :)
7:58 am
hokie carla

7:58 am
ItalianGreyhound
good clue!
7:59 am
HarryHood
or similar words, which go me an 8 !
7:59 am
hokie carla
I have watched a lot of Hitchcock in the last year. There was an early one I thought was kinda boring.
7:59 am
HarryHood
58 to go. got class - bye!
8:00 am
BzznBea
The Birds gets me. I can not watch it.
8:00 am
ItalianGreyhound
Loved Rear Window
8:00 am
MollyL
I often wonder how the people at the flip "Just see" words like hy9. How do people hold such words in memory?
8:00 am
Uneaixoise
Yes! Rear Window is great!
8:01 am
MollyL
Grace Kelly's clothes in Rear Window are classic.
8:01 am
hokie carla
I think Rear Window is the one I've seen the most.
8:02 am
hokie carla
The Birds is the most recent one I saw.
8:03 am
ItalianGreyhound
did they ever explain the cause of the bird uprising?
8:05 am
MollyL
Dial M for Murder is another good one.
8:05 am
ItalianGreyhound
some kind of cryptic connection to the love birds in the cage
8:05 am
hokie carla
no, I think they threw out a theory or two in the middle of the uprising
8:05 am
bichon
I love anything by Hitchcock. Psycho
8:05 am
ItalianGreyhound
oops
8:05 am
hokie carla
be back with coffee to tell the ones I didn't like
8:06 am
BzznBea
PB for bichon.
8:06 am
MollyL
The Birds: Nature's Revenge
8:06 am
ItalianGreyhound
yep
8:06 am
ItalianGreyhound
why did they stop?
8:07 am
ItalianGreyhound
I ask too many questions - loved the movie amyway
8:07 am
MollyL
The Birds was based on a real-life story in which the attacking birds had eaten something toxic that caused them to become aggressive
8:09 am
bichon
Also, Strangers on a Train
8:09 am
BzznBea
Our neighbor, a New York Italian, made us a pan of lasagna for helping take down a fallen branch in her yard. It was TEN pounds of pure heaven!
8:10 am
MollyL
There is nothing like Italian food made by real Italians.
8:11 am
BzznBea
It takes her three days to make it. She also uses thin sliced roast beef along with the italian sausage and ground beef.
8:11 am
Trifioso
good morning babbler friends!
8:12 am
Trifioso
lovely icon, bichon!
8:13 am
Trifioso
oh hey, bichon, did you hear? The new ranking of the top snobbiest states just came out - massachusetts has overtaken connecticut for the top spot! we are number one! lololol. ALL of the top states are in new england, or the northeast.
8:13 am
Trifioso
what a thing to be famous for! lolol
8:16 am
penquis
the ranking was based on the percentage of the population with a college degree, the percentage of degree earners in arts and humanities, the number of Ivy League colleges and the gallons of wine consumed yearly.
By those measures, they ranked all of the New England states in the Top 10.
8:17 am
bichon
Love blanket flower
8:17 am
hokie carla
The 39 Steps - meh, kinda boring
8:17 am
penquis
so what do they call the states who have the least educated people?
8:17 am
Trifioso
I'm down with the wine, god knows. If they factored in the number of Dunk's we would win every year!
8:17 am
Trifioso
trump supporting?
8:17 am
hokie carla
Sabotage - had a decent twist but not really great either
8:17 am
bichon
When I moved from NYC to CT, I noted the difference
8:18 am
Trifioso
that really is something, bichon, given the rep NYC has!
8:18 am
hokie carla
The Lady Vanishes - ok
8:18 am
bichon
The Lady Vanishes, Rebecca
8:18 am
penquis
Maine ranked seventh....that's ludicrous....
8:18 am
Trifioso
around here we say "smiles are warm, but hearts are cold"
8:18 am
penquis
loved Rebecca....
8:19 am
hokie carla
Rebecca - really liked that one
8:19 am
Trifioso
it is rather silly, penquis. it must be that no one could understand a single thing the true mainers said, and thus misinterpreted and called them "snobby"
8:19 am
bichon
"Loved Rebecca, I hated her"
8:20 am
hokie carla
To Catch a Thief - I like that one a lot
8:21 am
Trifioso

8:23 am
BzznBea
That's a good one.
8:24 am
hokie carla
and the rest I've seen I already mentioned
8:24 am
hokie carla
basically the ones from the 30s did not hold up as well
8:24 am
penquis
yw, Trif...
8:24 am

If you go to Turner Classic Movies, you can find lots of oldies
8:25 am
Trifioso
I hope to get down to Maine again this summer....spent every summer there after about 10
8:25 am
penquis
cool...where do you usually go?
8:26 am
MollyL
I'm sorry, I'm still laughing at rankings being based on gallons of wine consumed daily.
8:27 am
MollyL
Sorry, yearly
8:27 am
penquis
and education = snobbiness....
8:27 am
hokie carla
an old movie I loved that is not Hitchcock is Charade
8:27 am
MollyL
How do you get "down" to Maine from Massachusetts?
: D
8:27 am
Trifioso
I went to a girl's camp in Alfred, Maine, for YEARS, eventually working there. So the area around there became haunts
8:28 am
penquis
ah....western Maine....my brother lives on Thompson Lake in Oxford....
8:28 am
mixi6
my sister lives in the Boothbay region and I try to visit in August.
8:29 am
penquis
nice area....love Boothbay....
8:29 am
penquis

8:29 am
hokie carla
I was similarly confused by that, molly
8:29 am
mixi6
Yes, must leave in next 5 minutes to play tennis.
8:30 am
penquis
well you sail downeast to get to Maine from Massachusetts... ;o)
8:30 am
hokie carla
they do say "down east"
8:30 am
penquis
cool....i am playing three times a week indoors....two clinics and a lesson....
8:30 am
penquis
it is a sailing term...
8:30 am
rastapopolous
Because it's a downwind sail.
8:31 am
hurshy
dang it that's a word in the grid
8:31 am
hokie carla
I'll pretend hurshy is agreeing with something and not typing words
8:32 am
hokie carla
howdy mlfan
8:32 am
hurshy
i WAS i just thought it was interesting about it being a downwind sail
8:32 am
bichon
"Charade" isn't a Hitchcock
8:32 am
mixi6
no clinics, outdoors and playing 2-4 times a week.
8:32 am
MLFAN17
howdy hokie
8:32 am
mixi6

8:32 am

8:32 am
penquis
a little cool for outdoors here...have fun, Mixi....
8:33 am
hokie carla
sometimes I feel like no one listens to me ;P
8:33 am

8:59 am
penquis
monkeyed it...
9:00 am
hurshy
ohh thats the word he was talking about when i got here! that isn't neo!
9:00 am
hokie carla
he was?
9:00 am
mael
is8, ends in "stop it, you're making a sc***"
9:00 am
penquis
yes...not neo*****....
9:00 am
hokie carla
must've been before I got here
9:01 am
mael
it's a hydrocarbon
9:01 am
hokie carla
thx mael
9:02 am
hokie carla
the neo was making me think natal and I couldn't get that out of my head
9:04 am
hurshy

9:05 am
hokie carla
still on 3rd row here
9:05 am

9:20 am

11 left here
9:20 am
hurshy
i haven't found it bad overall
9:21 am
hurshy
maybe the fresh air is helping me
9:23 am
hokie carla
well I had to hide the chat because your million questions were distracting me ;)
9:23 am
Uneaixoise
Impressive, hursh!
9:23 am
MollyL
Eh, the air is not so fresh here. Full of pollen
9:24 am
hokie carla
yeah, the pollen here is insane right now
9:24 am
hokie carla
put my phone on my car in the garage while I played basketball with the youngest and it was covered
9:24 am
Uneaixoise
Beaucoup pollen here too!
9:24 am
MollyL
There is yellow dust all over my black car.
9:26 am
hurshy
next time i guess maybe you should buy a yellow car :D
9:26 am
MollyL
Why? Do yellow cars repel pollen?
9:26 am
hokie carla
mr. homie every day is like, the weather's so nice, you should get outside. it's not really nice when there is pollen floating around everywhere causing you to sneeze, clear your throat, rub your eyes, etc.
9:26 am
hurshy
aHA, there are TWO ch8s
9:27 am
hurshy
not repel, but at least maybe the pollen would blend in, eh?
9:27 am
hokie carla
I really think you should be able to add -er to the one ch7
9:27 am
car.eeyore
Happy wednesday everyone!
9:28 am
hurshy
and the he4 that means "pile" too, hokie
9:28 am
hokie carla
hey, car
9:28 am
MollyL
I agree, it is nice out. And I have been sleeping with the windows open so I have only myself to blame for being sneezy. But we only get about two weeks of weather when it is nice enough to sleep with open windows, so I'm going for it.
9:28 am
hokie carla
yeah, that's his argument
9:29 am
hurshy
and to you, car
9:29 am
MollyL
What? Like thick black eye liner is the ch9 of make-up?
9:30 am
hokie carla
see, you get it
9:31 am
MollyL
The low-cut blouse was a ch9 to her overall pure demeanor.
9:34 am
hokie carla
I also always try perp. guess I watch too many crime shows.
9:37 am
rururocks
trying it isn't a problem but continuing to is
9:37 am
hokie carla
I think I've tried it 2x today already
9:38 am
hokie carla
isn't that what they say is the definition of insanity, doing the same thing expecting different results? or something.
9:39 am
hurshy
fest is the prime example
9:39 am
Uneaixoise
Hokie, me too! Always try perp!
9:39 am
MollyL
Yes Carla, the defense rests.
9:40 am
MollyL
I have tried words like perp before. But I don't keep trying them, expecting them to work when I know they don't.
9:41 am
hurshy
sometimes it's just hard to remember. like the reverse of perp is just as much of a slangy abbreviation as perp, but it counts, and perp doesn't. go figure.
9:41 am
hurshy
so you're like, which one of those counts, again? i can't remember.
9:42 am
hokie carla
yeah, fest is another
9:43 am
hokie carla
I grew up going to Fun Fest every summer, so obviously fest is a word
9:44 am
car.eeyore
Which E comes from the lower E in the second column?
9:45 am
hokie carla
I keep hearing a strange sound in my house and can't find it
9:45 am
rururocks
that E :D
9:45 am
MLFAN17
i sitll dont have the9
9:45 am
car.eeyore
thank you
9:47 am
MLFAN17
hokie, i heard strange noises in my house yesterday
9:47 am
hokie carla
me either, mlfan. what does it start with?
9:47 am
hokie carla
did you find what was making the strange noise?
9:47 am
bonkler
hy 9/84 no idea what it might be
9:47 am
MLFAN17
no sure didnt
9:48 am
MLFAN17
i think the hy starts with hy 5/18
9:49 am
hokie carla
not hyperposh ;D
9:49 am
HarryHood
that's my nickname!
9:49 am
HarryHood
(not really)
9:50 am
hokie carla
I thought so, fitting
9:50 am
MollyL
Harry will henceforth be known as HP
9:50 am
HarryHood
I can be one of the spice girls
9:51 am
MollyL
Oh, bad visuals Harry
9:51 am
HarryHood
Hairy Spice
9:51 am
hokie carla
ok, that's worse
9:54 am
mkg
Is the 9 two words together?
9:54 am
hokie carla
still have 5 of that H left. I have 2 hy and we know the 9 is hy. are my other 4 hy?? seems crazy.
9:55 am
HarryHood
tough Cs.
9:55 am
hokie carla
so I think molly's answer is to mkg's question
9:55 am
HarryHood
the holy spice hy6
9:55 am
MollyL
Yes it is. And as I said previously, the end of that word goes straight to hell
9:56 am
MollyL
Good clue HP
9:57 am
hurshy
hy9 is too much sleep i guess. compare to the more often seen ap5
9:57 am
MollyL
It would if it had an A in the middle
9:58 am
HarryHood
holy cow with all this sp5 talk, I didn't even have sp5/6 :)
9:58 am
HarryHood
I am banished to pb for life
9:59 am
hurshy
it's cause greek can have pn, like pneumonia. the prefix a- means like "without" and the hy9 just subs a different prefix. it wouldn't make sense to have both prefixes.
9:59 am
MollyL
Oh my God, there are all kinds of medical words that end like that 9
10:00 am
MollyL
Sorry Hurshy, that is just too much for my brain to absorb. I get it, but it's overkill.
10:01 am
MollyL
And now I guess everyone knows the first seven of the 9 so not hard to guess the rest
10:02 am
MLFAN17
i only know the first 5
10:02 am
bonkler
ty for the greek lesson! got the 9
10:03 am
MollyL
Well, almost everyone
10:05 am
hurshy
pneuma, by the way, being the greek word for "breath" and also "spirit". you can see the same thing with latin roots when you look at "spirit" and "respiration". the ancients basically associated the soul with the breath.
10:06 am
hurshy
i've always found that interesting
10:06 am
mattygroves
In Germany, the film 'The Living Daylights' was called 'Der Hauch des Todes' - literally 'The Breath of Death'
10:07 am

hurshy
sounds like a better title in german than in english then
10:08 am
HarryHood
deepak in the grid
10:09 am
hurshy
i was tempted to do that as a NTPN but refrained when i found that if you remove the h it is a word that counts
10:10 am
HarryHood
yah I thought that was a poop related word, but it's' not!
10:10 am

10:14 am
MollyL
Oh, I don't miss the days when we were called scatologists and people were stalked.
10:15 am
hokie carla
that doesn't really help unless you say neo* is for wetsuits (IMO, but apparently they got it)
10:16 am
MollyL
You forget how science smart HP is
10:16 am
hurshy
it just depends, but for me it was like, i could see that ending in the grid right away as the "neo" was in my mind and so then it was natural to think of that ending rather than your "natal" which isn't in the grid
10:17 am
hurshy
everybody's mind works its own way
10:17 am
hokie carla
if you had just mentioned fabric...
10:18 am
MollyL
And some minds work in ways we don't want to know about.
10:18 am
hurshy
all's well that ends well
10:18 am
MollyL
Not everything is about fabric Susie Seamstress
10:19 am

10:35 am
bonkler
is there a non fabric clue? i have no idea about fabrics beyond cotton
10:36 am
hokie carla
all the clues but mine were non fabric but I didn't get those, so I chose fabric :D. it is what wet suits are made out of.
10:36 am
hokie carla
but the word itself is chemistry I reckon. I think it said something about rubber.
10:36 am
bonkler
thanks carla, will investigate
10:36 am
Shirlockc
rhymes with lima, fava, black, red legumes
10:38 am

MollyL
New people must really wonder when they read "sh6?" "ooo nm"
11:06 am
hokie carla

11:07 am
MLFAN17

11:20 am
moolingwa
no real odd ones
11:20 am
moolingwa
my last was a simple 4..the birds
11:20 am
hokie carla
really? I'd say all the ones I have but the birds are odd.
11:21 am
hokie carla
at least the one 4 we have a bit
11:21 am
moolingwa
well not odd in the sense that we get them pretty regularly in the grids
11:21 am
hokie carla
ah, was missing its anagram
11:21 am
moolingwa
4x4 1x5 and 1x6
11:22 am
hokie carla

11:24 am
hokie carla
so it is, LOL
11:24 am
moolingwa
think from a 50s paperback...when my grandma read me the hobbit, this was the cover
11:25 am
hokie carla
don't really see the desolation there
11:25 am
moolingwa
desolation is implied...
11:27 am
hokie carla
found a word! 16
11:27 am
moolingwa
33 to go
11:27 am
moolingwa
14x4, 9x5, 7x6, 1x7, 1x8 and 1x9
11:27 am
hokie carla
it was a C so now 3 or less on each tile
11:28 am
moolingwa
26 now
11:28 am
hokie carla
and wouldn't 2 agents working together be co*?
11:29 am
moolingwa
um, yeah....sure
11:30 am
bichon
hy 9, pls
11:31 am
moolingwa
well, finished my 7s
11:32 am
hokie carla
bichon - *****active + sleep a****
11:32 am
hokie carla
nice, moo. any guesses on my last one?
11:32 am
moolingwa
well, wouldn't have got that one
11:33 am
moolingwa
what letters you have left?
11:33 am
hokie carla
well, that's why I didn't feel bad about you accidentally seeing it
11:33 am
hokie carla
I have T P A P S H S C C
11:33 am
moolingwa
had the right beginning, but wouldn't have figured the ending
11:34 am
hokie carla
yw bichon
11:34 am
moolingwa
could be the p...there's a few off that one
11:34 am
moolingwa
there's only one S
11:35 am
moolingwa
H, you'd be missing an 8 as well
11:35 am
moolingwa
and there are 4 c's
11:35 am
moolingwa
so guessing a p
11:35 am
hokie carla
looks like maybe C then. I'm only seeing 3 in my list
11:35 am
moolingwa
second guess would be a a C, but less likely
11:36 am
moolingwa
either the first c7 or last one
11:36 am
moolingwa
both are regular words, but could be missed
11:37 am
hokie carla
I have 2 non-expensive ones and options
11:37 am
moolingwa
then the last one...a superlative
11:38 am
hokie carla
ugh, I'm only good for seeing one brit spelling a day
11:38 am
moolingwa
welcome :)
11:38 am
moolingwa
15 to go
11:38 am
moolingwa
E R PPP PP S H E S CC CC

hokie carla
also 15. T P A PP SSS HHH S C CC
11:39 am
hokie carla
my last 2 Rs were easy 4's
11:40 am
hokie carla
as was my last upper E
11:40 am
hokie carla
I think your lower E is a 6
11:41 am
moolingwa
I have the lower E sorry
11:41 am
moolingwa
it's the right E
11:41 am
moolingwa
nm, got it
11:41 am
moolingwa
was a 6 as well :)
11:42 am
hokie carla
yeah, I meant lower of your 2
11:42 am
hokie carla
that is the 6 I was thinking
11:42 am
moolingwa
also got my last s in the second column
11:43 am
hokie carla
nice, still 15 left here :D
11:43 am
moolingwa
actually was my last s overall it appears
11:43 am
moolingwa
7x4, 2x5, 2x6 and 1x8
11:46 am
moolingwa
my last r was a 4 :)
11:46 am
moolingwa
as predicted
11:46 am
hokie carla
I knew it!
11:46 am
hokie carla
found a P!
11:47 am
moolingwa
and half of them are 4s
11:47 am
moolingwa
oh, one I thought I had...last E, also a 4
11:47 am
hokie carla
just tried 4 things for the bottom H, which I've had gray since this morning
11:48 am
moolingwa
good to be thorough
11:48 am
hokie carla
found a C6 that is one letter shy of that C7 I just got. why didn't I try that?? I'm not good at this game.
11:49 am
moolingwa
oh yeah, figured you'd find that :)
11:50 am
moolingwa
found one of my remaining 6s...was a plural I missed
11:50 am
moolingwa
7 to go
11:51 am
moolingwa
PP P S CC C
11:51 am
hokie carla
I think I have already double checked for all those
11:51 am
moolingwa
3x4 2x5 1x6 and 1x8
11:51 am
hokie carla
T P A P SS HHH S C C
11:51 am
hokie carla
would love a guess on the A
11:52 am
moolingwa
not the one you included in your clue before
11:52 am
hokie carla
I have 2 AP5
11:52 am
moolingwa
not a regular word
11:52 am
hokie carla
the other one I have is a pl
11:52 am
hokie carla
ok, looking
11:52 am
moolingwa
yes, a5
11:53 am
moolingwa
I tried it because I try stuff...turned out to be a word
11:53 am
hokie carla
ah, we've had that before
11:54 am
hokie carla
2x4, 5x5, 4x6
11:56 am
moolingwa
found a 4
11:57 am
moolingwa
2x4 2x5 1x6 1x8

hokie carla
you will finish before I find another word :D
12:00 pm
moolingwa
run out of easy ones
12:00 pm
hokie carla
true, I am losing patience and will have to list soon
12:03 pm
hokie carla
found a four that's really a six
12:07 pm
moolingwa
interesting
12:07 pm
moolingwa
PP P C C
12:08 pm
hokie carla
T P P SS HHH C C
12:08 pm
hokie carla
guessing our P's and C's are the same but you never know
12:08 pm
moolingwa
would seem so
12:08 pm
moolingwa
I suspect one of your h's is a 6 letter plant
12:09 pm
moolingwa
found my last 6
12:09 pm
hokie carla
possible. don't appear to have any H6
12:10 pm
moolingwa
I have some for the humming birds
12:10 pm
moolingwa
I think another missing h6 is an english spelling
12:10 pm
moolingwa
the final h...might be a plural 3
12:11 pm
hokie carla
hosta, hydrangea, hyacinth. that is the extent of my H plants right now.
12:11 pm
moolingwa
yeah, this one isn't as common as those
12:11 pm
penquis
ty, mool....logged in just in time to see your mentioning the h6 with English spelling... ;o)
12:12 pm
moolingwa
in fact, not sure I really knew what it was until I moved to CO
12:12 pm
moolingwa
yw pen :)
12:12 pm
hokie carla
perhaps not on the plural 3
12:12 pm
moolingwa
the other 4's are all pretty regular
12:12 pm
jbp
the hy plant is used in tea as a decongestant
12:12 pm
moolingwa
well, the first two being scottish
12:12 pm
hokie carla
not seeing an english spelling
12:12 pm
MollyL
That is the only way I have ever seen that herb spelled
12:13 pm
penquis
i found the animal not the herb....
12:13 pm
hokie carla
ah, thanks, pen
12:13 pm
penquis
i know nothing about herbs or gardening in general....
12:13 pm
moolingwa
yes, I may have not mentioned that ;)
12:13 pm
MollyL
Oh, thanks Pen. The herb was being discussed when you made that spelling comment
12:14 pm
moolingwa
ah, found my last c on the bottom
12:14 pm
moolingwa
3 to go
12:15 pm
hokie carla
9 here. I am going to have to list.
12:16 pm
moolingwa
2 Ps and a C
12:17 pm
hokie carla
ok, my T I've seen but not a word I know or use
12:17 pm
hokie carla
mainly because I don't know helmets used in India
12:17 pm
penquis
i'd like to think that my one missing P is one that mool hasn't found... ;o)
12:17 pm
moolingwa
oh come on, call yourself a word gamer?!!?!?
12:18 pm
hokie carla
I said I wasn't good at this game!
12:21 pm
hokie carla
ok, my last c from 4th col is bs
12:21 pm
moolingwa
a 5 I assume?
12:22 pm
hokie carla
and FFS, the last c from the other one is a 5 which is one less than the 6 that was one less than the 7
12:22 pm
moolingwa
oh, I assumed you'd get that
12:22 pm
hokie carla
no, it was a 6 slang word
12:23 pm
hokie carla
you know what happens when you assume
12:23 pm
moolingwa
oh, yeah...figured you had that based on the sixes you had
12:23 pm
moolingwa
I get it wrong sometimes?
12:25 pm
hokie carla
sure :D
12:25 pm
moolingwa
still missing a 4...think I'd be able to find that right?
12:26 pm
hokie carla
what's left, P?
12:26 pm
moolingwa
4,5 and 8
12:26 pm
hokie carla
can I tell you a secret?
12:27 pm
hokie carla
hey, over here
12:27 pm
moolingwa
that was it
12:27 pm
hokie carla
that is my subtle hint
12:27 pm
moolingwa
I always seem to get that late or miss it
12:28 pm
hokie carla
yeah, I got tipped off this morning about it or I might not have seen.
12:28 pm
moolingwa
soooo...two to go
12:28 pm
hokie carla
still 2 p's that are problems with the list
12:29 pm
hokie carla
3 here
12:29 pm
moolingwa
one P one C
12:29 pm
hokie carla
I have P P S
12:30 pm
moolingwa
guessing an S5
12:30 pm
hokie carla
ugh, I guess that was an alt sp. finally found the one P
12:30 pm
moolingwa
perhaps the last one
12:30 pm
hokie carla
yes, S5, last one, just not getting the points right
12:31 pm
moolingwa
military/intelligence term
12:31 pm
hokie carla
of course
12:31 pm
moolingwa
though I guess it's an old use in IT too
12:32 pm
hokie carla
well, I had tried an anagram of that several times even though that word(?) I think is spelled differently
12:33 pm
hokie carla
ok, one P left
12:34 pm
hokie carla
oh, thought it was going to be a rest of the world word but it wasn't
12:35 pm
moolingwa
is the last 8 a p?
12:35 pm
hokie carla
do you still have a c?
12:36 pm
moolingwa
okay, that's all I need to know
12:36 pm
hokie carla
my last 8 was a c
12:36 pm
hokie carla
btw, my last P usually has an S on the end
12:36 pm
moolingwa
yeah, have the c left too
12:37 pm
hokie carla
so...tada
12:37 pm
moolingwa
nice one
12:39 pm
moolingwa
think I'm going to walk away from this for a bit
12:41 pm
hokie carla
ok, you should def find it
12:42 pm
moolingwa
found it
12:44 pm
moolingwa
just the p left
12:47 pm
hokie carla
upper P?
12:47 pm
moolingwa
left P
12:47 pm
moolingwa
it's a 5
12:48 pm
moolingwa
yes, I had the adjective, that you normally think of as a plural noun
12:48 pm
hokie carla
of course you did :D
12:49 pm
moolingwa
and wondered why you couldn't also do the therapists :)
12:49 pm
hokie carla
where did pen go? curious if it's the same P after all.
12:49 pm
hokie carla
yeah, the therapists is the one I said was a rest of the world one
12:50 pm
hokie carla
not something americans normally say
12:51 pm
moolingwa
unless you follow american sports, they use it all the time there :)
12:51 pm
hokie carla
but I hear it a lot watching tennis
12:52 pm
hokie carla
never heard it on american sports but do on international ones
12:53 pm
moolingwa
I guess I mostly watch hockey, they use it a lot there
12:55 pm
hokie carla
yeah, you would never hear it in Am football, basketball, or baseball.
12:55 pm
moolingwa
Had a friend who was one, and she tended to use the term PT
12:56 pm
hokie carla
yeah, I have several friends that are, 2 of which are from belgium but they have been here like 30 years or longer,so they use PT too.
1:00 pm
hokie carla
which P are you missing? there may only be one 5 that isn't part of a set
1:00 pm
hurshy
in Jane Austen's time, ph6/33 meant the study of health, it's weird how now, with an S added, it's not a biological science at all.
1:01 pm
hokie carla
no, there are 2 and one is one of the ones I struggled with having the list
1:01 pm
hokie carla
yeah, I saw there was an obsolete def. like that. interesting indeed. hurshy, do you follow the etymology subreddit? you would like that if not.
1:05 pm
hurshy
yes, i'm subscribed to it
1:05 pm
moolingwa
p5 on the left
1:06 pm

1:17 pm
hokie carla
but peri, ch8 is part of a 6/7/8 set
1:17 pm
penquis
my last p 5 would have ie as an ending if it were in French...
1:18 pm
periwinkle
I have a ch8 but mool said there was another with a different root
1:18 pm

Hey, fan. I broke my arm on Monday night while on a mini-vacation.
5:51 pm
MLFAN17
yikes origami. so are you in a cast?
5:53 pm
origami
I am in a splint/brace. They wouldn"t cast it cecause I waited until the next day to go to urgent care and it was too swollen.
5:54 pm
origami
My own doc might cast it next week.
5:54 pm
MLFAN17
hope the swelling goes down soon and you get out of the brace/splint soon
5:54 pm
MLFAN17
probably a good idea will make it heal faster
6:09 pm

Thank you.

has is 8 been clues recently?
6:28 pm
72 Temple Owl
and hy9?
6:30 pm
Gillie
is8 is defined as a substance "used chiefly in the manufacture of synthetic rubber by polymerization"
6:31 pm
hurshy
oh dear, poor origami
6:35 pm
Gillie
I finally gave in and used more words to get the hy9 - it's very twisty and ends like the sleep disorder
6:37 pm
Gillie
Yes - nothing so troublesome as not having the use of an arm
6:38 pm
hurshy
it IS a sleep disorder, where you sleep too much. hy5 being a prefix and a- being a different prefix
6:38 pm
Gillie
I was thinking of the breathing (in sleep) disorder
6:40 pm
Gillie
The definition says "abnormally deep or rapid respiration" (nothing about sleep).
6:43 pm
origami
thanks for that hy9 folks
6:44 pm
Uneaixoise
So sorry about your arm, Origami!
6:44 pm
hurshy
oh man, then i am dumb
6:44 pm
hurshy
that makes sense now that you say it
6:45 pm
Gillie
Well, obviously I should referred to a breathing disorder - I hadn't looked at the definition
6:45 pm
hurshy
i was talking earlier today about pneuma being breath, and i didn't realize they would have cut it down that much
6:45 pm
origami
Thanks, Une
6:46 pm
hurshy
but obviously we use hypersomnia for sleeping too much
6:46 pm
hurshy
but a- with breath, during sleep, cause you stop breathing while asleep. makes total sense.
