I just found one but not sure which one came from there

7:37 am

Sugrraleona

ha ha ha ha ha

7:37 am

Uneaixoise

7:38 am

hokie carla

I think it was TR6/18

7:38 am

aslindy

there's nearly 100 words starting with T today

7:38 am

BzznBea

93 to be exact.

7:38 am

hokie carla

ugh

7:38 am

hokie carla

I just started and hadn't quite looked at the specifics

7:39 am

hokie carla

60 s's

7:39 am

BzznBea

And people who have to have nbt and nbs right out of the gate on a big grid like this...

7:39 am

BzznBea

hokie carla

7:44 am

MLFAN17

ðŸ‘ hokie

7:46 am

BzznBea

There are a lot of words today that have plurals, but it might not be from the letter you are looking at. Some of the words are almost mirrored.

7:47 am

hokie carla

yep. just enter everything with a plural

7:47 am

BzznBea

And pt

7:47 am

BzznBea

7:49 am

HarryHood

heh molly. was up until 2 last night plunging and snaking. but the upside was that I was awake for the flip :) I took half an hour and babbled, and came back and the water was gone!

7:49 am

HarryHood

So it's a partial clog

7:49 am

aslindy

good luck with it, harry

7:50 am

HarryHood

plumber coming...sometime...

7:50 am

HarryHood

it's a zerious problem. btw, that was not found in the dictionary.

7:51 am

rururocks

plunging and snaking in the middle of the night?

7:51 am

hokie carla

oh my, where's my pearls?

7:51 am

HarryHood

it's all about sex and poop, isn't it?

7:52 am

aslindy

deep down, we are all 12

7:52 am

BzznBea

It's what makes the world got round...

7:52 am

hokie carla

I always say sometimes I think I am an 8th grade boy with things that make me laugh.

7:53 am

HarryHood

I frequently have to remind myself not to say "that's what she said" in class.

7:53 am

rururocks

sorry the images just startled me this morning

7:54 am

hokie carla

omg, HH, that would be my downfall as a teacher. mr. homie & I say that at least once a day.

7:55 am

aslindy

a clue for the ze6 please?

7:55 am

hokie carla

when the boys were younger we would have to keep ourselves from saying it when they were in the room and one time we just snickered at each other, then the oldest goes "I know what you're laughing at" and storms out of the room.

7:55 am

HarryHood

I'm not sure - never having gone - but I think that's what they teach you in teacher school - what NOT to say in class.

7:55 am

hokie carla

it's not zenith even though that appears to be here

7:56 am

aslindy

yeah, it's not a lot of things I've tried!

7:56 am

HarryHood

I could post a zeries of words that ze6 is not

7:57 am

HarryHood

back later.

7:57 am

BzznBea

ze6 ends with a retirement fund used with IRA...

7:58 am

8:00 am

hokie carla

8:00 am

BzznBea

8:01 am

MLFAN17

8:02 am

rururocks

8:02 am

rururocks

8:03 am

hokie carla

I bet he was tired!

8:03 am

BzznBea

Emma chaperoned on my date with my boyfriend yesterday.

8:03 am

hurshy

phantom: steroid

8:04 am

rururocks

aw... that's cute bea

8:04 am

rururocks

did mr bea behave himself?

8:05 am

hokie carla

winston was staring at me right now because I sat on the couch in a spot he couldn't get next to me. he finally gave up and laid down at my feet.

8:05 am

BzznBea

He did, ru. He was just there for the beer.)

8:06 am

rururocks

I don't believe that for a minute

8:06 am

hurshy

sorry to hear that you're such a rude momma, hokie

8:06 am

hurshy

i am too sometimes

8:08 am

hokie carla

well, I needed to be next to the end table to set my coffee on it and mr. homie was already in the middle. so winston kept looking at us like "what am I supposed to do?"

8:09 am

hurshy

my chief fault is that i sometimes give marilla kisses even though she has made it perfectly clear that they are NOT her jam.

8:10 am

hokie carla

we had a cat visitor at our back door last night and winston was very agitated he couldn't go out.

8:10 am

hurshy

that's ruff

8:11 am

hokie carla

ðŸ˜

8:11 am

BzznBea

Does Winton like cats?

8:12 am

hokie carla

well, he's never actually met one

8:12 am

hokie carla

we saw the same cat on our walk and he REALLY wanted to meet it then but it ran across the street.

8:13 am

hurshy

most dogs like cats, just not in a way that cats like back

8:13 am

hokie carla

that's what I was thinking

8:14 am

hokie carla

have you seen those videos of that golden retriever that lives with some cats? so funny. in one the cats are fighting and he breaks it up.

8:14 am

BzznBea

Emma tolerates ours. When they start grooming her, she looks at us like, "Help me!"

8:14 am

aslindy

one of my cats loves to cuddle with the dog. the other one likes the dog but not to cuddle with.

8:16 am

hokie carla

cats are so strange ðŸ¤£

8:16 am

aslindy

my cats like the dog a lot better than they like each other

8:20 am

hurshy

phantom: third

8:24 am

Calllie

Otter

8:25 am

hurshy

did you know a sea ot5 has as much fur in one square inch of its body as a cat has on its entire body?

8:25 am

Shirlockc

huh, good trivia there hursh

8:26 am

hokie carla

I did not know that. would love to know how it compares to winston. he's got more fur than any dog I've ever seen.

8:28 am

hurshy

the thick fur keeps them warm in cold ocean water, where some other animals use more blubber for that purpose

8:30 am

9:04 am

MLFAN17

9:04 am

9:04 am

MollyL

It is so weird to see game stats flashing on NFL.com at this time of day

9:04 am

MLFAN17

9:20 am

hokie carla

well done, bubba

9:21 am

BzznBea

Of course. I have been listening to Criminal Countdown. Too funny.

Carla I know you said it does not help but I just found a N0 9 upper part of where Santa lives. Hemisphere wise.

9:24 am

hokie carla

thanks. and it's not northpole, people!

9:24 am

rururocks

Santa just found out that Mrs. Claus was Bi-polar

9:24 am

BzznBea

We feel like we need to have cameras because of the criminal element in our neighborhood. Kids with guns...

9:24 am

hokie carla

good idea, bea!

9:24 am

hokie carla

hopefully they don't shoot your cameras out.

9:25 am

zoozzoom

It sounds scary where you live, Bea.

9:25 am

BzznBea

We are also looking at electric fencing.

9:25 am

rururocks

I think Bea's mom should return fire with an AK 47

9:25 am

zoozzoom

Wow! really scary. I think I would rather move.

9:26 am

BzznBea

I don't think she could hold one, ru.

9:26 am

rururocks

:D.

9:26 am

BzznBea

Yes, zooz, but would you want to buy my house?

9:27 am

zoozzoom

Yes I can see your problem, Bea. Plus it is hard for older people to up sticks and move when they are frail. I feel for you.

9:35 am

hokie carla

is that a thing, welki? new one to me.

9:35 am

BzznBea

Yes, recent. 30 year old missing since Sept.

9:36 am

welki

it's yiddish, and very useful when you want to say you want to hit someone in the throat and can't use those words :)

9:36 am

hokie carla

wow, crazy there was a missing woman in my area and I didn't hear about her.

9:36 am

BzznBea

Has your count started just today?

12:56 pm

cybernan

stuck with 112 - bbl

1:00 pm

hurshy

Molly, I assume your oblique reference is to what I said to ruru. I just don't know Christa and was hoping she wasn't someone knew who might find such a question a bit unnerving. That is a possible thing that some people might feel, so I felt concern for someone who might feel that way. It sounds like ruru is well enough acquainted with her to expect that she would not take it amiss, however, which is what I hoped.

1:00 pm

hurshy

*someone new, haha

1:01 pm

hurshy

And that kind of indirect reference, instead of talking about something directly, is exactly the sort of thing I would classify as "passive-aggressive". I would much rather you instead said, "hurshy, mind your own business."

1:06 pm

MollyL

True Bea, nothing new,

1:08 pm

Hurshy, I appreciate the spirit in which you commented. It's always good to avert a spat before it gets started, when possible!

I didn't think you were being mean!

wearing them correctly - yes.

7:05 pm

Trifioso

the number of times a day I have to tell the kids to cover their nose and chin, oy

7:05 pm

It seems like the kids, for the most part, just accept the mask requirement and move on.

based on my limited work in schoolsz

i think they are happy to be back in school...

Just got to 99. Fair ampunt of each left. Said i would list at 100. But listing with this many words is so tedious.

Oops
