TY, Bea. Odd word.

7:28 am
72 Temple Owl

hello scrabbler
7:28 am
hokie carla

did someone actually call that last night?
7:29 am
Scrabbler

Owl, did the storm hit you a few days ago?
7:29 am
MollyL

First one called. Those people read the dictionary for fun.
7:30 am
hokie carla

are there 2 se7 though, maybe they were calling it
7:30 am
BzznBea

It is probably Russian. Used for cavier.
7:30 am
hokie carla

it = the other one
7:31 am
72 Temple Owl

no, lots of hype. but the river towns are in peril because of today's storm. over 50 homes comdemned in Lambertville because of Ida
7:32 am
72 Temple Owl

scrabbler, i got a flu shot and i have never had such issues as i am having. it hurts to move my fingers. afterr three covid shots, this was way worse.
7:32 am
Scrabbler

Oh, no. Our Babblers south of Boston got creamed by the storm 3 days ago and probably still don't have power.
7:33 am
72 Temple Owl

i was thinking bout them and wondering
7:33 am
hokie carla

I didn't have any problems with the flu shot this year. that stinks, TO.
7:33 am
72 Temple Owl

the shot hurt going in like never before
7:33 am
Scrabbler

Owl, the location of the injection could be the issue. If done too high there can be problems.
7:33 am
72 Temple Owl

i have NEVER had anything like this.
7:33 am
hokie carla

maybe they hit something going in
7:34 am
72 Temple Owl

my arm feels weak/
7:34 am
Scrabbler

I will get my CoV booster on Monday.
7:34 am
Scrabbler

When did you have the flu shot?
7:34 am
hokie carla

mr. homie had a friend a few years ago that got a torn rotator cuff from a flu shot
7:34 am
MollyL

Over 150,000 in Massachusetts still without power
7:34 am
BzznBea

Mr. Bea gets his booster this morning. Mom and I on MOnday.
7:34 am
72 Temple Owl

yesterday afternoon
7:35 am
hokie carla

wow, I didn't know that about MA
7:35 am
Scrabbler

A friend had an injection way too high and had nerve issues.
7:35 am
hokie carla

scrabbs, I had my covid booster on Wed and it did not go well.
7:35 am
Scrabbler

Put ice on the site and take naproxen. Expect 2 bad days then improvement.
7:35 am
72 Temple Owl

interesting you would say that. it was very high and i called him on it. said they were routinely given high. and i could feel a dribble of liquid
7:36 am
BzznBea

What was the problem, Carla?
7:36 am
72 Temple Owl

i cannot take any pain meds. no localized redness or swelling. feels like a nerve
7:36 am
hokie carla

fever, chills, aches, hot flashes
7:36 am
Scrabbler

Carla, I have Tuesday off (the Indian Reservation Clinic is closed for Election Day) so I have the day to recover.
7:36 am
hokie carla

and it burned going in too, which I don't rem. the previous 2 doses happening.
7:37 am
hokie carla

good! you might need it!
7:37 am
72 Temple Owl

did your friend's nerve issues resolve?
7:37 am
72 Temple Owl

should i see my doctor?
7:37 am
Scrabbler

I am mixing up the imms, getting Pfizer for #3 after Moderna for the first 2.
7:37 am
MollyL

Apparently, people are not responding too positively to Facebook's name change. Funny comments from people on the internet.
7:38 am
Scrabbler

Owl, she had longterm problems and needed PT.
7:38 am

I just stuck with moderna, scrabs
7:39 am
Scrabbler

That will work fine, carla.

7:46 am
Scrabbler

Slowly gaining consciousness here.
7:50 am
hokie carla

is this a hard grid or I'm still half conscious?
7:50 am
BzznBea

I'm finding it difficult.
7:50 am

7:51 am
hokie carla

7:51 am
BzznBea

I must go get ready for a zoom.
7:51 am
Scrabbler

I am multitasking with Instagram and FB and Twitter.
7:52 am
hokie carla

I keep thinking this is Sat
7:52 am
hokie carla

the oldest said he'd come and visit after his classes today so I'm excited about that.
7:53 am
Scrabbler

Is he in college nearby?
7:54 am
hokie carla

yes, about 20 min away
7:55 am
hokie carla

so the youngest going 2+ hours away this year has been a big adjustment.
7:55 am
Scrabbler

I bet.

I'm a dumb cluck
10:12 am

thought you were thinking of appetizers
10:12 am
MollyL

Hence the joke, why do the French have only one egg for breakfast? Because one egg is an oeuf.
10:12 am
BzznBea

ha!
10:13 am
rbud

and yet the oe 7 word has a certain... "ovaries" feel to it, wonder if the words' histories go back to the same sources.
10:14 am
rbud

haha, Molly, new one for me.
10:14 am
MollyL

I'm not sure "ovaries feel" is a great statement.
10:14 am
hurshy

doesn't look like they have related etymologies
10:15 am

yeah, but the feel is there.
10:16 am

I'm sure the french are fallopian all over themselves with that one

just try pronouncing it without knowing how in French, haha.

Well, many people know how because of The Louvre
10:17 am

hello all, per my scrabble dictionary the se7 is caviar from the Caspian Sea
10:18 am

funny, I don't really know how to pronounce Louvre, either. Just have never heard it anywhere, though I read it all the time.
10:19 am

Peri, it's the caviar and the sturgeon it comes from
10:21 am

loo-vra with the a sound being really short

oops sorry
10:22 am

yes - but rbud was talking about Louvre
10:22 am

yes the oe word begins with a short e sound I think
10:26 am
hurshy

it's more like the oo in look and book, but frenchier
10:27 am

the french have so many different pronunciations for each vowel and that is withoug throwing regional accents in

4:31 pm

isn't it spelled ragout?
4:31 pm
joym999

either spelling works -- one is from the French, the other from the Italian.
4:31 pm
72 Temple Owl

ragu being a corruption of the french to make a brand?
4:31 pm
joym999

excellent pun ruru
4:32 pm
rururocks

in french it would be ragoux
4:32 pm
72 Temple Owl

and ragu is derived from that
4:32 pm
Gillie

No, it is spelled "ragout" in French
4:33 pm
rururocks

it's saucier as ragoux :D
4:33 pm
Gillie

And it's not really the same thing, I think
4:33 pm
joym999

are there any OU words?
4:33 pm
72 Temple Owl

i think ragout is italian
4:33 pm
72 Temple Owl

hence ragu for what is passed off as italian pasta gravy
4:34 pm
Gillie

One that I know of (ou words)
4:34 pm
Gillie

No, "ragout" is French, "ragu" is Italian
4:34 pm
joym999

according to Food & Wine "Ragù is a class of Italian pasta sauces made with ground or minced meat, vegetables and, occasionally, tomatoes. Bolognese, for example, falls under the ragù umbrella. Ragout, on the other hand, is a slow-cooked French-style stew that can be made with meat or fish and vegetables—or even just vegetables"
4:35 pm
72 Temple Owl

‘Ragout’ is for the romantics In Italy, the term ragout is generally still used to indicate recipes for fine stews of meat, fish, or vegetables. On the other hand, more recent term of ragù is more correctly used to indicate classic Italian ragouts – like the Bolognese, Neapolitan or Sardinian varieties – which season fresh or dry pasta.
4:35 pm
72 Temple Owl

according to la cucina italiana
4:36 pm

But "ragout" is originally a French word
4:36 pm

Oh no! We have a disagreement of experts. I hope they battle it out.
