mattygroves

3:57 am

mattygroves

It's GU7/48 - like a small mouthwash episode?

4:24 am

MollyL

Or a sound a baby makes with a consonant at the end. The other 7 is French for a disdainful attitude,

7:07 am

rururocks

hi welk

7:10 am

it's ridiculously cold here, -30C - the doors are frozen shut!

7:11 am

rururocks

wow

7:11 am

rururocks

how do you stand it

7:11 am

welki

this minute, it's not easy

7:12 am

welki

the price we pay for milder summer temps (is what i tell myself)

7:13 am

rururocks

well with global warming someday it will be a winter vacation spot :D

7:14 am

welki

i can sell time shares :)

7:17 am

rururocks

i simply couldn't survive in that weather

7:17 am

welki

that's pretty much how i feel about temps above 75F

7:18 am

rururocks

oh.. then you'd wilt in August here

7:19 am

welki

yes, yes i would. i grew up in nyc - that heat and humidity would send me flying into the nearest air conditioned room

7:20 am

rururocks

no real humidity here.. but it does get up to 114 F here

7:22 am

BzznBea

This is a nasty bunch of letters.

7:22 am

rururocks

it's not too bad bea once you get into it

7:22 am

welki

hi, bea

7:25 am

MollyL

I'm with you, Ru. I would be miserable in the cold of Canada. Not to mention, clinically depressed.

7:28 am

rururocks

I think I'd like the beauty but I hate being really cold like that. I'm okay with temps in the 40's and up

7:29 am

rururocks

I use to play tennis at 104 degrees.. I'm that stupid

7:31 am

rururocks

anyone heard from Zooz lately?

7:33 am

welki

no. i hope he's safe and well.

7:34 am

rururocks

me too.. i was hoping he'd continue to check in with us.. he might be busy, but it's uncomfortable not hearing from him

7:35 am

welki

agreed

7:36 am

welki

i imagine that, everyday, we all send a collective wish that he's on the mend

7:37 am

rururocks

yeah.. i wish he'd allow one of us to be able to reach out to him to check on his well-being. He knows we all care about him though.

7:38 am

rururocks

how long is it going to take you guys to get all the way down here welks? you have a relative in Lakeport?

7:39 am

welki

the drive itself is about 24 hours and yes, we have family there

7:39 am

rururocks

so 3-4 days or something?

7:40 am

rururocks

is your family in the meth business? :D

7:41 am

welki

depends on weather, mostly.

and yes, we all produce methane, but not in the way you mean

7:43 am

welki

the trip back will be leisurely. haven't picked out the route yet

7:49 am

MollyL

Today is two two two two two.

7:49 am

8:26 am

MollyL

Tulips are the flowers to give today

8:26 am

BzznBea

I saw some tshirts the other day that made me think of you punsters.

8:27 am

Shirlockc

punster monsters?

8:27 am

BzznBea

"Bad puns are how eye roll"

8:27 am

Shirlockc

8:38 am

hurshy

top row grey!

8:38 am

8:39 am

MollyL

*Faints*

8:42 am

hokie carla

HOET!

8:43 am

mkg

Got it. Ty

8:44 am

MollyL

Carla should stop calling ET a HO. He's cute, he's not a ho.

8:48 am

hokie carla

I have the ha 4/5 fashion words but not seeing how to make it a 7. is it a different grammatical form or an actual different spelling?

8:48 am

rururocks

hokie usually has a speil (burg) about hoet eventually

8:48 am

hurshy

you have to get it by going down to the bottom first

8:49 am

hokie carla

but that doesn't answer my question ðŸ˜œ

8:49 am

hurshy

it's just a word, it's related, it's a french-style word

8:49 am

hurshy

it is when someone is giving themselves "airs"

8:50 am

rururocks

like crossy?

8:50 am

MollyL

Carla it has nothing to do with fashion

8:51 am

hokie carla

didn't I read that somewhere?

8:51 am

hurshy

it builds on the fashion word, but just because they have the same root, "high"

8:51 am

hurshy

it doesn't actually have to do with fashion itself

8:53 am

BzznBea

Carla, U R going to get this.

8:54 am

rururocks

it's like french for hot dog

8:54 am

MollyL

Oh no, Bea is resorting to peasant cluing

8:54 am

BzznBea

Peasant clueing...LOL!

8:55 am

hurshy

how on earth is it like hot dog, lol

8:55 am

hokie carla

which H?

8:55 am

rururocks

Haute dog

8:55 am

hurshy

second row

8:55 am

hurshy

but the end isn't like dog at all, either in french or english

8:56 am

BzznBea

I hate to leave this circus, but I have to Zoom...

8:56 am

rururocks

picky pick picky

8:57 am

hurshy

you know that feeling when you've found a bunch of cool words from a certain tile, and you're proud of yourself, but then you still have like 5 left to find

8:57 am

hokie carla

would have helped prob if a) someone said it was like the fancy movie, etc, maker and b) I actually had that word

8:57 am

periwinkle

hi all. not getting the clues for the ha7

8:57 am

mkg

I have first four but then lost on the ha 7

8:58 am

rururocks

we were flicking around clues hokie

8:58 am

rururocks

it's not like we can screen the entries

8:59 am

rururocks

sometimes cluing here is the theater of the absurd

9:00 am

rururocks

you have to give people credits for trying :D

9:00 am

MollyL

Sometimes?

9:01 am

rururocks

all thinks being sequal molly yes

9:01 am

rururocks

things

9:02 am

Aloyisius

methinks you are right, ru.. hi all

9:02 am

MollyL

When it gets to the point where people are conjugating French words, absurd is the word (not grease)

9:02 am

periwinkle

am I invisible?

9:02 am

MollyL

No Peri but there are a lot of clues for the ha7

9:03 am

Aloyisius

9:13 am

LuvWordGames

9:13 am

hurshy

9:13 am

hurshy

thanks, got it!

9:13 am

hurshy

AND it made me think of an R word too!

9:15 am

hurshy

phantoms: hurt, argyle

9:19 am

Trifioso

hello friends.

9:20 am

hurshy

hello trif

9:20 am

Aloyisius

hi Trif

9:21 am

Trifioso

last day of my little mini vacation, back to home tonight

9:21 am

hurshy

the right-hand U, i have not-rented, anyone got the other one?

9:22 am

LuvWordGames

don't have it yet but the stats are ur 6/27

9:22 am

hurshy

mk thanks

9:23 am

Aloyisius

ty Luv, found it

9:24 am

LuvWordGames

could you please clue it?

9:25 am

hurshy

i second that motion

9:25 am

Aloyisius

ok.. first 4 of a planet + the sometimes vowel and a consonant

9:26 am

LuvWordGames

thanks Aloy I would have never gotten that

9:26 am

hurshy

ahh thanks. i was very torn about whether to use the sometimes vowel or the G

9:26 am

hurshy

6 left, 1-2-3

9:26 am

Aloyisius

for the chemically savvy, it is a bivalent radical

9:27 am

Aloyisius

thought it was a chem. compound

9:27 am

hurshy

isn't it funny how you can have a bivalent radical but you can't have an ambivalent radical?

9:29 am

Trifioso

hurshy, my friends and I had a whole discussion on that very topic a while back, only broader - there are a number of words we use only in one way, if you will. You are depressed, but never pressed. Things are discombobulated, but never combobulated. Oven is out of whack, but never IN whack.

9:30 am

hurshy

well in this case i didn't really think it was like that, i just wanted to make a nerdy joke, because i hadn't recalled from my HS chem that there WERE such things as bivalent radicals

9:30 am

Trifioso

I know, it just reminded me is all

9:31 am

hurshy

:D

9:32 am

MollyL

You are very good at the nerdy jokes Hursh

9:32 am

hurshy

thankee

9:33 am

9:37 am

dizgrannie

2:37 am, hopefully sleep will come soon

9:40 am

hurshy

you know screen lights make it harder?

9:41 am

hurshy

i bought a yellow book light and i definitely feel like tis better for me, reading with that in bed

9:46 am

hurshy

well, i listed for the last five and do not regret it, as none of them were the least bit fishy!

9:47 am

hurshy

ok maybe one was a TEENY bit fishy but that's all

9:47 am

MollyL

Just one fin?

9:47 am

hurshy

yes :)

10:37 am

mkg

Please send me stats and clues for the L. Thanks.

10:48 am

11:29 am

mab

valency - my brain is expanded. only slightly though since i only sort of get it after a 2-minute skim. uni, bi, multi - who knew? and they have names.

11:30 am

mab

very poor science and math ed for me.

11:33 am

mab

also like le 5 which always reads as 'run away' to me. like in a 30s movie.

11:44 am

hurshy

not 2 le5 2 quit???

11:51 am

mab

always think of miss froy running like a quarterback (having previously looked rather frail) into the forest in the lady vanishes.

12:27 pm

MollyL

Somehow, I can't see Hurshy as an MC Hammer fan

12:43 pm

mab

no idea who mc hammer is. i know nothing.

12:47 pm

mab

but with popular modern things, helps a lot if you work with kids. not that hurshy wouldn't know mc hammer independently of kids. extremely polymathic our hurshey.

12:47 pm

mab

*hurshy* i mean.

12:49 pm

MollyL

Someone once told me that polymath was a nice word for know it all ðŸ˜Š

12:50 pm

mab

would never say that of hurshy.

12:53 pm

MollyL

No, I'm sure you wouldn't. Just threw that out there as something amusing.

12:59 pm

hokie carla

FTR, when I found le5 this morning I started singing MC Hammer. molly is not shocked about this.

1:30 pm

Sophie512

Fireworks!!! I enjoy the chat and so need the chat hints. My boys used that LE word, and still do. But I didn't know about that connection. Trying very hard NOT to you tube it. Don't need an ear worm today!!

1:35 pm

cybernan

hello everyone :)

1:35 pm

mab

i think because she knows how worldy wise you are - out there soaking up knowledge of all things, in addition to your basic learnedness. probably like that. :D (a tiny bit of spin is good)

1:39 pm

mab

6:56 pm

hokie carla

the chat's about to be flushed with puns I guess

6:57 pm

rururocks

did someone leak out that information hokie?\

6:58 pm

hokie carla

maybe someone should put a stopper to it

6:58 pm

rururocks

or maybe live streaming ?

7:01 pm

rururocks

sounds like the punning has been reduced to a trickle here

7:01 pm

hokie carla

yeah, I can't go

7:02 pm

rururocks

well I"m sure wee all want to know about that

7:03 pm

hokie carla

7:08 pm

MollyL

Oh thank God! News of The Bee!

7:22 pm

72 Temple Owl

do you love the bee? i am wavering re joining

7:23 pm

hokie carla

I would say yes but I'm not allowed to talk about anything else but babble.

7:25 pm

72 Temple Owl

how do you become quen bee?

7:25 pm

hokie carla

you have to find all the words

7:25 pm

hokie carla

I think I've done it 3x in like a year

7:26 pm

72 Temple Owl

i figured out that if i stick to small words then use all the letters i can play longer before it kicks me out and tells me how good i am at this

7:27 pm

hokie carla

yeah, it definitely has a points cutoff instead of a word total cutoff

7:27 pm

72 Temple Owl

did you ever play word wipe?

7:28 pm

hokie carla

no, never heard of it

7:28 pm

72 Temple Owl

oh i did not know, it does not show points. just total words

7:28 pm

72 Temple Owl

msn used to have it, i think. you have to make words and clear a board row by row, eventually you have to vlear the whole thing

7:29 pm

hokie carla

it shows the points in a slider scale on the top, you may just be scrolled down and not see it

7:29 pm

72 Temple Owl

it's courtesy of the washington post, but they don't mkae you subscribe to play.

7:29 pm

hokie carla

like right now I have 81 points and I'm at amazing

7:30 pm

hokie carla

interesting. i may have to look.

7:30 pm

72 Temple Owl

don't elaborate. it makes me want to run for my credit card.

7:30 pm

72 Temple Owl

but i am going to try to get a total subscription. not just games;

7:31 pm

hokie carla

I started paying the monthly amt for games just to try it and then months later realized I could save a lot by paying for a year, so then I had to actually communicate with a person and she gave me an even better deal.

7:31 pm

72 Temple Owl

okie dokie, time to get ready for this is us. it has sucked the last two episodes...makes me wonder how satisfying the end will be.

7:32 pm

72 Temple Owl

really? dish!

7:32 pm

72 Temple Owl

that is what i was trying to do, speak to a humaoid.
