Well, if Anne's flag is correct, she's on the same time zone as I am, so it's only 9am here - the flip is at 6am...(our time)

Sounds like a nordic word, nan.
10:15 am
cybernan
we all wore those skirts in the 50's. I remember making one in home ec grade 7 --- right after the bibbed apron, which was our first project. The apron looked like something out of the 1800's
10:15 am
MollyL
Short for not fast and two unlikely consonants.Uses the high point tile
10:17 am
cybernan
it does indeed look nordic - ty
10:18 am
cybernan
ty molly as well
10:18 am
Shirlockc
yeah, i had to google that d6 word, never heard of it before, i guess we never got to that part of home ec
10:18 am
MollyL
The dresses got popular after The Sound of Music
10:18 am
cybernan
when did the sound of music come out?
10:19 am
cybernan
our aprons did like those with the cross over ties at the back
10:19 am
zoozzoom
When I was one years old haha!
10:20 am
MollyL
The play: 1959 the movie: 1965
10:20 am
cybernan
we wore di 6 skirts in the 50's -- so they were popular before that
10:21 am
MollyL
I'm not saying they were not around before then. Just that the costumes in The Sound of Music made them popular
10:21 am
zoozzoom
1959- In that case I was not even a twinkling of the eye haha!
10:21 am
cybernan
circle skirts with multi crinolines were popular in the late 50's but we were back to pencil skirts in the 60's or bell skirts
10:22 am
zoozzoom
Pencil skirts? Are they like the pencil line drawn on the leg to make it look like you were wearing tights?
10:23 am
zoozzoom
It cannot be of course but just wondered what a pencil skirt is.
10:23 am
cybernan
no a slim tight skirt with a slit at the back rather than a pleat
10:23 am
zoozzoom
Ah gotcha! Thanks.
10:24 am
MollyL
Wow, Long Island sound is supposed to get 10 to 15 foot storm surge from Hurricane Henri
10:25 am

Every time I see aerial photos of New York City I think that much rebar and cement was not meant to be erected on such a small piece of land
10:29 am
zoozzoom
Isn't there a fault line running through NY?
10:31 am
zoozzoom
poo I am very sorry everyone.
10:32 am
MollyL
There are several and New York City was NOT built with earthquakes in mind. If one happened, it could be catastrophic. I would never live there for that and a lot of other reasons.
10:33 am
cybernan
wish you'd "clued" my missing l from the top instead :)
10:34 am

Reading about it gave me the eebie-geebies
10:34 am

Haha! Probably, Nan!
10:45 am
hurshy
i don't see how there can be four more from the top S
10:46 am
cybernan
just missing one from there now
10:46 am
zoozzoom
Okay here is a strange one for you. Does anyone ever count in their head numbers of something then sortof get stuck at a number like a stutter for a while before being able to continue. Mine for some reason is number 7. So in my head I would count say plates laid out on the table and i would do 1,2,3,4,5,6,7.7.7.7.7 then continue to 8 onwards.
10:47 am
hurshy
hmm, perhaps you are getting caught in some sort of a time-space vortex
10:47 am
cybernan
missing a lot of t's though
10:47 am
zoozzoom
Oh I am missing 4 fromthe top too!
10:47 am
hurshy
do you live near cardiff?
10:48 am
saanichcat
Hi Nan! yes there is a full moon tonight. A blue moon.
10:48 am

10:49 am
zoozzoom
I am missing 9 Ts at the moment.
10:49 am
hurshy
i haven't tried T yet
10:49 am
cybernan
I asked zoom that because when the kids went a little nutty in the classroom it was often when there was a full moon - strange
10:50 am
saanichcat
all the full moons are being given names -- wolf moon, harvest moon, etc. The blue moon tonight is a different blue moon than I am used too (two in one month)
10:50 am
zoozzoom
I think there is a blood moon to.
10:52 am
hurshy
T not bad, i see all but 2 on first go
10:52 am
cybernan
wasn't it couple of years ago that we had a full moon that was a blood wolf moon that was also the closest to the earth for the year all in one - oh and it was the first full moon of the year too maybe?
10:52 am
zoozzoom
Says, Hurshy all smug haha!
10:53 am
hurshy
the S will keep me humble
10:54 am
saanichcat
Hi zooz, I just looked up full moon names - wow! Here's some: Green Corn Moon, Grain moon, Old Moon, Ice Moon, Full Sprouting Grass Moon, Egg Moon, Full Fish Moon....and the list goes on
10:55 am
saanichcat
yes nan you are right about that bllod wolf moon, made a special effort to see it
10:55 am
hurshy
the native americans had names for each one, and probably different tribes had different names, so if they're drawing on those, there would be a lot
10:55 am
zoozzoom
Full sprouting grass moon. wow.
10:56 am
saanichcat
that was my fave
10:56 am
zoozzoom
S words are not too bad, Hurshy.
10:57 am

endrot - when you get too much rain ant the tips of the carrots turn to mush
12:47 pm

en6.21 sounds rather like a drug and goes to the upper left.
12:47 pm
dcseain

12:47 pm
cybernan

1:00 pm
mich_pdx

Clue for di7 please?
3:01 pm
Q
di6/7 have far too many consonants.
3:03 pm
Uneaixoise
Aahh skirts! Thanks!
3:20 pm
hokie carla
hmm, not getting the mo6 clue. is this a plural without a singular? not a plural at all and that's where I'm going wrong?
3:53 pm
MollyL
It isn't a plural. Not sure why it was clued that way
4:10 pm
Uneaixoise
Mo6 they pose on the runway
4:11 pm
Uneaixoise
That's mo6/24
4:13 pm
Uneaixoise
Mo6/21 ends in a charged particle
4:17 pm
MollyL
Earlier, mo6/21 was clued as mo6.21 additional small particles? which leads one to believe it is a plural
4:31 pm

Vicuna
Harry, I was similar. I thought I'd get licensed when we moved to MA, but I would have had to start from scratch and after having run my own classroom for 5 years, I wasn't going back to beginners student teaching. So I stayed in private school.
7:06 pm
HarryHood
I think they lose many excellent teachers by their requirements.
7:07 pm
Trifioso
yes, listings for teachers
7:11 pm
