gravity, scrabs. she fell from an apple tree - comminuted fracture of distal humerus, surgery, three pins

aslindy

sorry to hear that, welki. I pray she heals quickly and easily

8:27 am

Scrabbler

Ouch.

8:29 am

welki

thanks lindy. she's 8, so while they don't bounce, she should be just fine

8:31 am

Scrabbler

That is a common fracture when kids fall on their arms. And, yes, kids are resilient with injuries.

hokie carla

yes, in music

9:49 am

rururocks

mlf was stringing us along she knew it all along

9:55 am

hokie carla

she and peri working in harmony

9:57 am

rururocks

usually she's just strumming around though

9:57 am

rururocks

unless these grids get her keyed up

9:58 am

hokie carla

that was just a minor thing though

10:02 am

rururocks

well.. as long as she doesn't fugue it up I guess that's ok

10:06 am

rururocks

but that's the thing about MLF she's always making overtures to the chat people

10:06 am

MollyL

Y'all shouldn't fret about MLF

10:07 am

rururocks

you're right we should just legato

10:09 am

MollyL

I hear MLF likes to play pool with acoustic and a ball

Happy Saturday

12:31 pm

cybernan

good morning everyone :)

12:40 pm

eieios

Strange grod today.

12:40 pm

eieios

Grid. ðŸ¤¦ðŸ¼â€â™€ï¸

12:41 pm

eieios

Trying to find words during ads. Big game for me today!

12:42 pm

cybernan

game of what?

12:43 pm

eieios

Football. Texas vs Oklahome. Big rivalry game.

12:43 pm

cybernan

oh - do you know someone on one of the teams?

12:43 pm

eieios

No, but Texas is my alma mater.

12:44 pm

cybernan

oh, ok. you obviously haven't read my profile - lol :D

12:45 pm

eieios

These aren't professionals though. Just college kids.

12:47 pm

MollyL

Wow, that is a big change from humor. I think I will bow out of that now.

12:48 pm

cybernan

same thing. The problem up here is that some of them think they should be able to travel around the country without vaccinations or any othe the other covid mandates applying to them because they are elite athletes. Like many others I feel that they should follow the mandates like everyone else or stay home --- they definitely do not qualify as being essential.

1:27 pm

cybernan

*!*~*!* easy once I went to the list :)

1:30 pm

cybernan

sorry if I offended anyone wtih the article I posted in my profile. It was meant to provoke some thought into what is really important in this life - not as a comment about sport enthusiasts. Maybe if you had a husband whose cancer treatment was delayed by one month because of demands on a health system caused by covid patients and 90% or more of those patients hospitalized are the unvaccinated, you would feel as I do. Hagd.

1:38 pm

joym999

I agree w/ you, nan. There is a cult of celebrity, cultivated by the media, and it takes up way too much of everyone's time. We hear more about the private lives of famous people we don't know than about the real problems our world faces. If there were more news stories about people who regret from their deathbeds not get vaccinated instead of stories about rich people getting divorced, I think we'd all be better off.

1:52 pm

hokie carla

well EI, texas is killing them

1:56 pm

hokie carla

and I am stuck with 14 left. think I will go put up some halloween decorations

2:00 pm

eieios

2:00 pm

Uneaixoise

Ro5 before ro6/18?

2:01 pm

Uneaixoise

Od5 kinda like a poet

2:02 pm

eieios

Not sure how to clue.... similar to car brand with dif last vowel.

2:02 pm

eieios

Thx, une

2:02 pm

eieios

Or maybe rhymes with would be better. Lol

2:03 pm

Uneaixoise

Tx!!

2:05 pm

eieios

An5/10 is my last word!

2:06 pm

eieios

I feel like i have tried every possible combo....

2:06 pm

eieios

Of course, my attention is sivided.

2:06 pm

Uneaixoise

An + most of lease

2:07 pm

eieios

Thx, une. That's FW!

2:07 pm

2:14 pm

joym999

like the stuff that keeps fondue warm, but with a different vowel

2:14 pm

Uneaixoise

Fondue pot?

2:14 pm

joym999

I can't find the AN5,10. I can't believe that I can't monkey a 5,10, but it is eluding me somehow

2:15 pm

joym999

no, the stuff you light on fire under the fondue pot

2:15 pm

Uneaixoise

Got it!

2:17 pm

Uneaixoise

3 to go.....

2:17 pm

eieios

I loke your clue, ruru

2:18 pm

joym999

pleeeeeez need help with that AN5 driving me nuts

2:18 pm

eieios

An plus most od lease is how it was clued for me.

2:19 pm

Uneaixoise

Or an + most of one penny

2:20 pm

eieios

That's good too, une!

2:21 pm

joym999

got it, finally, thanks. I could have sworn I tried that, but I suppose that's what we always say.

2:21 pm

joym999

Anyway, FW, for me. Anyone need any clues?

2:22 pm

MollyL

The soap box is now available if anyone else has a rant.

2:23 pm

eieios

Lol, molly

2:23 pm

eieios

I think it is best for me to bow out of that offer.

6:04 pm

penquis

well my search for the fours left me with only one four left to find...

6:06 pm

hokie carla

nice. I'm mostly watching football and house hunting. I think I've reached the point where I'll never see any more words.

6:06 pm

penquis

6:07 pm

hokie carla

haha

6:07 pm

hokie carla

ooh, found my h - a plural

6:09 pm

hokie carla

penquis

i still have two Hs to find...

6:10 pm

penquis

6:20 pm

hokie carla

6:21 pm

hokie carla

7:01 pm

hokie carla

holy cow, my B was a regular word but oh so twisty

7:02 pm

hokie carla

ok, down to 2 T's, a 5 and 6, so I'm going to assume they might be related.

7:02 pm

penquis

glad you found it...

7:03 pm

hokie carla

guess I'm a dumb b5 ðŸ˜

7:04 pm

hokie carla

there's the T5. rethinking my assumption it has a related 6.

7:05 pm

penquis

there is a th 5 that i view as a slangy way of spelling a word...

7:05 pm

hokie carla

that's the one I just found

7:06 pm

hokie carla

now just have a T6 left

7:07 pm

penquis

did you add a consonant to a to 5?

7:07 pm

hokie carla

it's a T6 from the right

7:08 pm

penquis

well there is another to 5 that you can add a consonant to from that T....

7:08 pm

hokie carla

ok, looking

7:09 pm

penquis

it's either that or a pl....

7:09 pm

hokie carla

7:10 pm

penquis

1932

7:13 pm

hokie carla

7:14 pm

penquis

do you want a real clue?

7:14 pm

hokie carla
