7:23 am

dromano66

yeah I tried refreshing

7:24 am

hokie carla

I don't recall how many times I refreshed and it's possible I closed the tab and reopened the game on a new one

7:24 am

dromano66

ill try thanks

7:55 am

MollyL

Same as what Carla said. I think sometimes this game gets "stuck". When I open it in another tab, no problem.

8:21 am

hokie carla

8:47 am

hokie carla

LOL, I don't know

8:48 am

hokie carla

deep thoughts by judi

8:49 am

doseffing

... ge7 ... psychological term ... german origin ... roughly means the universe is more than the sum of it's parts and can't be derived simply from the sum of it's parts ... ... also if you've got an old robin williams comedy album he kept using the line .... the ge7 is now

3:01 pm

moolingwa

3:01 pm

joym999

I meant to say that the bottom row S and the 2nd row R have got me stumped.

3:01 pm

MLFAN17

another da word

3:01 pm

3:01 pm

3:03 pm

joym999

Well, if there are any families in those 2nd row REs that would be good to know. I have a family of 3 that relates to eyes, but not much more.

hokie carla

I still need 4 8's and 9 T's and 5 H's, so maybe :D

3:35 pm

hokie carla

3:39 pm

moolingwa

11 to go

3:39 pm

hokie carla

31. back to single A ball, the minors

3:40 pm

hokie carla

all because I was bragging about 98% yesterday ðŸ˜œ

3:40 pm

hokie carla

only 91% today

3:40 pm

moolingwa

ass meet bite

3:41 pm

moolingwa

just under 97% so far...but have picked up 3 or 4 words

3:41 pm

moolingwa

maybe 5

3:42 pm

hokie carla

I will take any and all word helps today

3:42 pm

moolingwa

indeed

3:42 pm

cybernan

you both have my admiration for getting this far listless

3:43 pm

penquis

it appears more "semi" listless.... ;o)

3:43 pm

moolingwa

I am feeling a bit listless right now

3:43 pm

hokie carla

I prefer sans list

3:44 pm

moolingwa

can we turn it into semilistlessnesses

3:44 pm

cybernan

me too, but not for over 250 words

3:44 pm

penquis

but "avec" some stats... don't begrudge you for it...i am going through the list right now...

3:44 pm

cybernan

I think as one gets older, your attention span decreases -- soon I will be back to being 6 years old

3:45 pm

penquis

we all have our own way of playing this....with our own "rules"....

3:45 pm

penquis

same here, nan....

3:45 pm

moolingwa

yep

3:45 pm

penquis

i list when i hit a wall and am not having fun....

3:46 pm

cybernan

I do like to get at least half way before listing

3:46 pm

moolingwa

I stick with it for a bit, but typically just get bored and leave

3:46 pm

hokie carla

it's funny, I used to go to the list with like 70 left, but now I have 31 left and would rather just not finish.

3:46 pm

moolingwa

I don't care most times if I finish it or not

3:46 pm

joym999

my rule is that I can list when I have 2/3 of the words

3:47 pm

cybernan

listed today with 97 left after several interruptions I still need 80 to finish

3:47 pm

penquis

i am too OCD not to finish once I start...

3:47 pm

moolingwa

I used to feel compelled to finish...but then I got better ;)

3:48 pm

hokie carla

I like to finish just to know which words I've missed, but the list is just too cumbersome with too many left. I will probably check tonight the ones that are completely stumping me.

3:48 pm

moolingwa

but I do waste a lot of time looking for the last 20 or so words I find typically

3:49 pm

penquis

i also like to know what i have missed...

3:50 pm

hokie carla

like one day recently I went to the list and it was like 10 R6 words right in the middle of the Rs and I just closed it and didn't bother.

3:50 pm

moolingwa

I have too many groaners to make me want to know what I missed...would rather live in blissful ignorance :)

3:51 pm

moolingwa

still 11 to go

3:51 pm

hokie carla

re 7/28

3:56 pm

moolingwa

you make more 7 letter words out of that rack than any other

3:56 pm

hokie carla

I have 3 7/28 but none of those are that

3:56 pm

moolingwa

excluding blanks of course

3:56 pm

moolingwa

and you can make more words by adding one tile to that rack too

3:57 pm

moolingwa

there are two words from that rack in this grid

3:57 pm

moolingwa

one is the wine

3:57 pm

hokie carla

I understand why you're saying that, but don't know the best possible scrabble rack. even though I've played tons of games over the years, I didn't professionally. ðŸ˜œ

3:57 pm

moolingwa

yeah, I never played in tourneys or anything, but have played plenty of tourney players

4:00 pm

hokie carla

saster - half of a disaster

4:00 pm

moolingwa

heh

4:00 pm

moolingwa

that made me chuckle

4:01 pm

cybernan

he is saying his "hail mary's"' over the content of that wine :D

4:01 pm

moolingwa

salarist - one who is focused on how much they earn

4:01 pm

hokie carla

well, turns out my last center S has a pl from the bottom. but still need 1 S there.

4:02 pm

moolingwa

yeah, I need one s off the bottom too

4:02 pm

hokie carla

it has to involve the other S somehow

4:03 pm

moolingwa

yes

4:04 pm

moolingwa

although it technically could use both t's and only the bottom s, but that seems highly unlikely

4:04 pm

moolingwa

found it

4:04 pm

moolingwa

it's another 7

4:05 pm

moolingwa

stupid word

4:05 pm

hokie carla

what's new

4:05 pm

hokie carla

SA? points?

4:05 pm

moolingwa

a word that doesn't make sense, but there you go

4:05 pm

moolingwa

sa 7/28...again

4:06 pm

hokie carla

well, it's not saltser or saltsed

4:06 pm

moolingwa

I'm up to 1.5 WPT

4:07 pm

zoozzoom

exam

4:07 pm

hokie carla

I wonder if it's the one I was talking about - pl of the canadian slang for sailor

4:07 pm

moolingwa

but my AWL is slid slightly to 6.11

4:07 pm

hokie carla

if so that doesn't help me

4:07 pm

moolingwa

nope

4:07 pm

moolingwa

different one

4:08 pm

hokie carla

what is AWL? did I miss that one or did you just make it up today?

4:08 pm

moolingwa

zoo gave it away tho ;)

4:08 pm

moolingwa

Average Word Length

4:08 pm

hokie carla

oh, I have that one too. darnit

4:08 pm

moolingwa

just made it up

4:08 pm

hokie carla

I knew that one from a previous grid.

4:08 pm

cybernan

there is CA slang for a sailor? Only one I know of is the seasoning - and that is BRitish

4:08 pm

moolingwa

then the sa5 would be my guess

4:09 pm

hokie carla

the def says canadian slang

4:09 pm

hokie carla

I do not have an sa5

4:09 pm

moolingwa

yeah, I always thought of it as British, but what do I know

4:09 pm

cybernan

ok - had the word - have never heard it used, but then have never lived near the ocean either

4:09 pm

moolingwa

there are two sa5s

4:10 pm

hokie carla

yeah, but one comes from the other S

4:10 pm

moolingwa

oh yeah

4:10 pm

hokie carla

I thought you live near the ocean now?

4:10 pm

moolingwa

then I'd check plurals and comparatives

4:10 pm

zoozzoom

Opp of out.

4:10 pm

moolingwa

unless you're missing the first 4

4:11 pm

cybernan

no - we live in the BC interior

4:11 pm

hokie carla

thanks, zooz. I think that's a new one on me

4:11 pm

moolingwa

not without a lot of global warming hoke ;)

4:11 pm

hokie carla

I love it when a definition is another word I've never seen

4:11 pm

moolingwa

so it was that sa5 then

4:11 pm

hokie carla

yep

4:12 pm

moolingwa

comes up fairly regularly

4:12 pm

hokie carla

I told you it had to have the other S ;)

4:12 pm

hokie carla

I must have completely blocked it out then

4:12 pm

moolingwa

that and sisal

4:12 pm

hokie carla

sisal I'd iknow

4:12 pm

moolingwa

I always think of it with ass+ in front of it

4:13 pm

hokie carla

I guess iknow= new apple memory product

4:13 pm

moolingwa

would need another s of course

4:13 pm

hokie carla

at least 1st col gray now!

4:14 pm

hokie carla

BRB

4:14 pm

moolingwa

nice

4:14 pm

4:25 pm

joym999

4:26 pm

joym999

4:35 pm

5:39 pm

amelu0218

you want actual clues (for what they're worth)?

5:42 pm

amelu0218

(well, what my clues are worth, lol)

5:42 pm

hokie carla

well, that was a bit of excitement. had water shooting up beside our house about 20' high.

5:45 pm

amelu0218

better than a natural gas line breach!

5:46 pm

amelu0218

(been there, done that... not a warm fuzzy)

5:48 pm

amelu0218

a neighbor clearing property did not check with utilities, rented a bulld5/22 and crushed the feed line...

5:53 pm

hokie carla

well, there was a guy here trying to mark the gas line for the workers that are putting in a new drainpipe from the street. he rang the doorbell to let me know.

5:56 pm

joym999

natural gas pipe breaks are incredibly dangerous. That idiot with the bulld.. could have been liable for a lot of injuries and damages, not to mention could have killed someone. (I work in the energy policy field so this kind of stuff upsets me.)

5:57 pm

amelu0218

Oh, I know! Now, that being said, it happened in the mid 80s, so we all had gun racks in our pickup trucks...

6:00 pm

amelu0218

Not saying they should not have paid more care to the situation but *shrug*... Yeah, at least now they have regular markers (here) for gas/utility lines w/# to call posted.

6:02 pm

amelu0218

I think they may have even hired someone to go level everything but, still, markers were not up back in the day so I look at it as lessons learned (for others. It was a stupid shortcut).

6:05 pm

amelu0218

Think pre-internet, so they would have had to go to the planning commission, gotten a proper surveyor and w/permission and paid for that whereas now, most of that info is attainable online.

6:08 pm

amelu0218

and joy, I totally agree with you. totally. I (and my family) try to be stewards of our land/wildlife. It's just stupid to not be.

6:50 pm

hokie carla

yay penguis!

8:16 pm

grannyrose

and i am home again and into our fourth lockdown. so utterly over others mistakes, causing untold unhappiness and grief.

8:18 pm

grannyrose

using already established hotels, motels for quarantine purposes is out of order. their ventilation systems are not up to the standards required to prevent the spread of cv-19 to other rooms.

8:19 pm

penquis

that's awful, rose.....here in Maine we are just starting to get out more....i think the state has 53 % of the population fully vaccinated....

8:19 pm

Gillie

I'm sure that must apply to many apartment buildings too.

8:19 pm

Gillie

(The ventilation problem, I mean.)

8:19 pm

grannyrose

wow !! good news pen. and your good self? are you well?

8:20 pm

grannyrose

absolutely Gillie.

8:21 pm

joym999

sorry, grannyrose, that is tough, especially when so many places are getting back to normal

8:21 pm

penquis

yes, I am fine....playing tennis keeps me sane....

8:21 pm

grannyrose

i know our new outbreak is miniscule compared to what is happening all over the world.

8:22 pm

penquis

well it still affects you and your family....

8:22 pm

grannyrose

well done, pen. when we come out of this lockdown i hope to be referred to the hydrotherapist and get back into my exercise regime.

8:22 pm

penquis

ty....also doing PT for my back and I like that....

8:23 pm

grannyrose

years 7 and up schools are closed. small businesses closed, gyms etc closed. only 5 reasons to leave the house.

8:24 pm

grannyrose

food shopping, medicines and/or doctor, give or receive care, exercise, and vaccination.

8:25 pm

Jeff7

clues for the top right R pls

8:25 pm

penquis

We went through that last Spring....now we can go to restaurants and other places...

8:26 pm

joym999

everything is going back to normal here, but a friend of mine has a lot of family in India and she just lost one of them and is terrified for the rest of them.

8:26 pm

penquis

re 6/7....what you get if your appeal is granted by the court....

8:26 pm

grannyrose

you'll be sorry for asking Jeff. old frank sinatra song

8:26 pm

penquis

Yes, I play Words with Friends with a woman from India and she is a doctor....haven't seen her in 3 days and that is worrisome...

8:27 pm

grannyrose

oh, top RIGHT r tile. sorry Jeff. just a tad frazzled here.

8:29 pm

penquis

well i have to get going.....nice talking to you, Rose...goodnight all....

8:29 pm

grannyrose

pen, it only takes one person to set off the whole shebang again. that's what happened over here. that person was in quarantine for the correct amount of time in another state, then tested positive 6 days after his release.

8:29 pm

Jeff7

ty-just couldn't see anything there

8:29 pm

grannyrose

sweet dreams pen dear.

8:30 pm

penquis

ty, rose....yw, Jeff....bye!

8:30 pm

grannyrose

jeff cute pic, your icon. yours?

8:34 pm

Jeff7

yes-one of my 2 rescue Papillons

8:35 pm

grannyrose

him/her? what did you call them.

8:56 pm

Jeff7

That one is Sadie. The other black and white is Harley. They are Papillons, which means butterfly in French because of their ears which resemble butterfly wings

9:10 pm

joym999

I just realized that all the SA words, except for one, belong to the same family.

9:29 pm

grannyrose

loll... i bet you didn't know there were so many words for sodium chloride, Joy

9:30 pm

joym999

I had no idea :)

9:32 pm

grannyrose

we have just found out that despite the lockdown, my husband/carer's hand surgery is to go ahead on Monday.i am really not sure how we are going to manage. should be an interesting couple of weeks as he recovers.

9:34 pm

joym999

oh boy, that's crazy. Do you have anyone who's been vaccinated already who can come in and help you?

9:38 pm

grannyrose

i'll have to ring around. i don't think he realises just how sore he is going to be. and he really does need the surgery. poor man is in constant pain. severe carpal tunnel syndrome.

9:39 pm

joym999

Ouch. I hope he feels better, and that you can find a temp carer.

9:39 pm

grannyrose

we do have lite'n'easy delivered, for 5 days of the week. i'm guessing we are going to have a few home-delivered meals.

9:40 pm

joym999

this is definitely the time to order all your food in, and let the dishes pile up.

9:41 pm

grannyrose

lolll....like the way you think Joy. i have a slightly higher than normal stool i can sit on to do the dishes. every thing else will be done in the easiest way possible.

9:42 pm

grannyrose

and if that means using the clothes dryer instead of hanging well so be it.

9:43 pm

joym999

FW, and time for me to do some dishes. I hope everything works out for your, grannyrose! And if there was ever a time that disposable containers should be used, this is it.

9:44 pm

grannyrose

WTG JOYM999!!
