I was going to tell Harry that McDonald's is giving free breakfast to teachers this week, but he eats too healthy for McDonald's.

7:53 am

BzznBea

I love McDonalds.

7:53 am

MollyL

Once in a blue moon, I do crave a double cheeseburger, fries and a Coke.

7:54 am

aslindy

I can't remember the last time I ate McDonalds food

Wow, the Raiders head coach has resigned over emails containing racist, anti-gay and misogynistic comments. No privacy for the famous I guess.

I loved McD's, but they are the least gluten free friendly in the US. In Europe apparently they have gluten free buns and french fries. Yes, french fries should be gluten free, but here they are coated in a gluten batter of some kind and then fried in a fryer with the breaded nuggets and stuff.

8:12 am

hokie carla

the only thing I've gotten from there in years is a Coke

8:18 am

hokie carla

omg, just saw there are 11 8s and 7 9s. may just go for HOET again today.

8:19 am

BzznBea

They aren't that hard, once you find the suffix du jour.

8:20 am

aslindy

clue for st6,24 please?

8:20 am

hokie carla

well, I got half of the first S, so I'm on my way

BzznBea

8:27 am

hokie carla

8:27 am

BzznBea

=) And plural

8:27 am

hokie carla

and I have 2 8s and didn't notice

8:28 am

hokie carla

oh, I'm pluralizing everything whether it wants it or not

8:40 am

8:52 am

hokie carla

I thought everyone refers to it as Tarjhay

8:53 am

MLFAN17

8:55 am

BzznBea

I do not call it Tarjay...

8:56 am

BzznBea

in7 is not plural

8:56 am

MLFAN17

8:57 am

hokie carla

That was a long time ago, Molly

10:04 am

11:07 am

penquis

playing fast comes from playing competitive boggle online....i did that for years, playing with several people who played faster than i did....

11:08 am

bichon

One of the things I like best about Babble is that it isn't timed

11:08 am

ChampFit

That's interesting pen. I've played the online boggle, but I play this grid completely differently. Maybe because I know I have the time?

11:08 am

penquis

i like it well enough....just different from what I used to do...

11:09 am

penquis

sometimes i play slower, but usually at the beginning i play fast....

11:09 am

ChampFit

We all have our ways with these grids!

11:09 am

penquis

for sure...

11:17 am

cybernan

11:34 am

11:35 am

MollyL

11:41 am

penquis

11:41 am

MollyL

We are guessing Nan's name Pen

11:41 am

joym999

I know, it's Ninnn. There is something we can do with those 3 n's after all!

11:42 am

MollyL

Hocee

11:42 am

penquis

Gene.... *thinking maybe Nan is actually a guy*....

11:43 am

joym999

Give us a hint, Nan. Your name's not also an actual grid word, is it? If we guess it will we be in the PB?

11:43 am

MollyL

That is why we guessed Ted and Ned

11:43 am

cybernan

not a grid word

11:43 am

MollyL

I'm guessing it is something boring like Dee

11:43 am

joym999

Pogs

11:44 am

MollyL

Snigo

11:45 am

penquis

Denise...

11:45 am

Snigo sounds Hobbitish

11:46 am

periwinkle

11:46 am

11:46 am

11:47 am

MollyL

in + first three of what a dentist uses

11:47 am

penquis

hi peri...

11:47 am

cybernan

in 5/12 is very close to the one time female Prime Minister of India

11:47 am

periwinkle

ty Molly and nan

11:48 am

MollyL

I think that means she's not going to give up the goods you guys. Even though people already have on Facebook.

11:49 am

joym999

That's ok. It's fun to guess. And now we can just call her Snigo from now on. Or maybe Zog.

11:49 am

MollyL

Either that or she doesn't want everyone to know her name is Snigo

11:50 am

MollyL

That's Cybersnigo to you missy

11:50 am

cybernan

not on Facebook -- dropped that after the first privacy scandal with FB several years ago.

11:50 am

joym999

I think cyberzog has more of a ring to it.

11:51 am

hokie carla

it's been in the grid before. if someone could write a program to search the archives for when she said it before and we look at that grid, that will solve it!

11:52 am

cybernan

11:52 am

penquis

i have a guess but i am not sharing... ;o)

11:52 am

cybernan

11:54 am

penquis

11:55 am

joym999

apparently it's also an an old Scottish unit of liquid measure equivalent to about a quart

1:43 pm

joym999

I only know that because I looked it up, of course, because I also was wondering how it could possibly be acceptable.

1:44 pm

hokie carla

I might have mentioned it earlier too ðŸ˜œ

1:45 pm

joym999

sorry, I've been in and out all day and I haven't read the whole chat. I would of course given you full credit for also looking it up. ðŸ¤£

I was just adding to what Molly said, joy, not replying to you. sorry.

1:46 pm

joym999

The beginning sounds like a small equine. Hi folks.

Hi hokie

1:54 pm

joym999

I've got the LI8,55 but I'm not seeing the LI8,50. Are they related?

1:55 pm

hokie carla

first I'm hearing about it ðŸ˜

1:55 pm

joym999

NM, monkeyed it.

1:56 pm

hokie carla

it's not lionache - you know, what you feel like after the big cat attacks you

1:57 pm

joym999

I thought it was what you feel when they don't let you pet the lions at the zoo.

1:57 pm

hokie carla

yeah, that too

1:57 pm

joym999

I once petted a baby lion cub.

1:58 pm

hokie carla

I bet it was adorbs

1:58 pm

joym999

OMG it was so adorbs. It almost took out a little girl who poked at it, though.

1:59 pm

hokie carla

I almost added "until it bit your hand off"

1:59 pm

hokie carla

ok, I think I need a clue for that li8

2:00 pm

hokie carla

well I'm glad I looked up that P. never would have tried those last 3 letters.

2:03 pm

origami

I had never heard that p word before

2:04 pm

hokie carla

ok, looked up the L8/9. also new to me.

2:06 pm

joym999

I'm going to need a clue for those PO words. Unlike that lion cub, they are not reaching out to grab me.

2:07 pm

hokie carla

ends like a key/ID thing kids wear around their necks

2:07 pm

hokie carla

or a reptile

2:07 pm

Cosmo Kramer

po** sounds like small horse + h***not soft
and plural

2:08 pm

hokie carla

2:08 pm

hokie carla

ty carla, got it.

2:13 pm

MollyL

Adorbs? Seriously ladies? How can you type that without just being embarrassed?

2:13 pm

hokie carla

you're so easy. I mainly typed it to lure you out.

2:17 pm

joym999

We think you're just adorbs too, Molly.

2:28 pm

hokie carla

so, what's my missing E from top row?

2:32 pm

hokie carla

Hokie, did you know that you can click on the little circles at the top by your score to see how many pts it takes to get to a certain level?

2:40 pm

hokie carla

and stuck at 26 left here

2:41 pm

hokie carla

I did not, thanks. genius is the top one, I thought there was a queen bee?

2:41 pm

hokie carla

I'm only 2 pts away from genius. eek!

2:41 pm

origami

Yes, but it doesn't show you how many pts are needed. I think there is more than one level to qb also.

2:42 pm

hokie carla

ok

2:43 pm

hokie carla

oh, I think I did get a pangram and didn't notice. LOL

4:20 pm

LuvWordGames

WTG zooz!

4:21 pm

hurshy

well, i was able to get over 90% without list, so in that sense, for me, not a hard grid. but there were definitely quite a number of weird words in that other 10%, so, that part was hard.

4:28 pm

periwinkle

hurshy did you have your eye doctor appointmen?

4:29 pm

periwinkle

having trouble with the H words

4:30 pm

hurshy

yes, i did

4:30 pm

periwinkle

how did it go?

4:30 pm

periwinkle

I was sending positive thoughts your way

4:31 pm

hurshy

there is leaking in my macula, so they are going to give me at least three injections of some medicine that will attempt to tell it to knock it off, then see how it looks to see if i need more or if it's all set for now. i will have to always be on the lookout for it to happen again since it seems to be the result of my myopia rather than like an injury. darn eye just keeps wanting to get longer.

4:31 pm

hurshy

and thank you

4:32 pm

hurshy

the injections are once a month, starting thursday

4:32 pm

periwinkle

well at least they found out what is wrong and have a plan in place.

4:33 pm

periwinkle

what symptoms did you have?

4:41 pm

hurshy

i have a blurry spot in my right eye

5:04 pm

periwinkle

oh, ok

5:12 pm

origami

I hope the shots clear it up, hursh.

5:15 pm

hurshy

i didn't even think to ask if they hope for it to make the blurry spot go away, or just prevent it from getting worse

5:16 pm

hurshy

idk why it is so hard to think what questions you have while you are there instead of later on

5:17 pm

hurshy

the injections are IN the EYE, which should be... interesting.

5:20 pm

origami

Oh, wow. That sounds frightening. It's easy to forget to ask all the questions. That's why I go along with my friend when she's having pre-op appointments.

5:22 pm

mab

I'm so sorry about your poor eye, hurshy.

5:25 pm

mab

it's hard to imagine an injection in one's eye, having to keep the eye open. and it's just a little scary in all.

5:27 pm

hurshy

well i'm assuming they have some way to keep it numb and open and whatever

5:32 pm

mab

opiac

5:32 pm

mab

oh dear.

5:35 pm

mab

I hope it doesn't hurt, but if it does, be careful not to become an opiac.

5:36 pm

hurshy

6:00 pm

governess

i'm traumatized by hearing this hurshy, because my imagination is vivid. I hope this procedure goes well for you.

6:00 pm

hokie carla

they couldn't even do the puff of air in my eye for the pressure test last time I went because my eye kept closing. I can't imagine them sticking a needle in.

6:01 pm

hokie carla

though I was able to let her pluck some eyelashes that were growing the wrong direction

6:01 pm

governess

i have that same issue hokie, and they keep trying

6:03 pm

hokie carla

my pressure when I have had it checked successfully is always high anyway, and I tell them my mom's and brother's are too and no one has glaucoma or whatever that test is for.

6:03 pm

MollyL

Hurshy, good luck with your eye treatment. I hope it is successful.

6:04 pm

hokie carla

I thought I was going to try contacts last time and she was like, I don't think those are for you.

6:04 pm

yeah, I hope it works, hurshy
