9:09 am

I tried that 7 as a 6 several times earlier, so obviously I've seen it before.
9:10 am
hokie carla
I think all the weird ones have been named, hurshy
9:10 am

the worst thing about migraines is that they aren't helped by sleep AND you can even wake up with one in the morning when you were fine the night before
9:13 am
BzznBea
Do you have meds for them?
9:13 am
hokie carla
that is horrible. when I used to get them if sleep didn't make them go away I was screwed. usually greasy food and sleep was all I could do.
9:13 am
hurshy
yeah, but they take a bit to kick in
9:14 am
hurshy
ooh se8. normal word to me, but then, i'm a sci-fi girl and they use it a lot in that context
9:14 am
hokie carla
ooh, my last w was a regular word. hate it when that happens.
9:15 am
hokie carla
not septeenth, but that might be more than 8 letters. and not a word. 🤣
9:15 am
BzznBea
I always had to wrap a light cotton blanket aroud my face and head in a dark room. If I could get steam it helped too/
9:15 am
hurshy
it's only 8/40
9:18 am
BzznBea
My favorite 8 today was ne8.50, a science word.
9:18 am
hurshy
ooh ok i need that... and i see it must be lower N
9:18 am
hokie carla
I can tell I'm going to get none of these 8's on my own today
9:18 am
hurshy
se8, humans are se8, ants are not
9:19 am
hokie carla
ok, thanks
9:19 am
Shirlockc
depends on your def of se8, group think may be a thing
9:20 am
BzznBea
the ne8 might also be from mythology
9:20 am
hokie carla
we have ants in our bathroom and they are being incredibly difficult to defeat
9:21 am
hokie carla
does it start like a planet, bea?
9:22 am
BzznBea
Do you have Terro bait traps? We use those ofr the ants that get in the kitchen.
9:22 am
BzznBea
Yes, it starts with the first three of the planet.
9:23 am
hokie carla
yeah, we've put some of that out and mr. homie has recaulked where we think they're coming in. we don't know if they're still getting in or just some stragglers who were already in.
9:24 am

Do you use Dawn dish detergent?

did you ask for too many picnic pest clues?\
9:25 am
hokie carla
archaic, imagine that
9:25 am
hurshy
i looked it up too
9:25 am
hurshy
but i have a great clue for it, that will only work for Trekkies
9:25 am
hokie carla
I should change cluing to say "my bathroom pest"
9:26 am
BzznBea
I know it as the plant.
9:26 am
hokie carla
it does sound like a plant
9:27 am
hokie carla
I'm guessing the drug in the def was made from the plant?
9:27 am
BzznBea
The ants will not cross over the dish detergent. Put a thin line along where you caulked to see if that rids them.
9:27 am
hokie carla
yeah, my look up site had a slightly different def than the dictionary link, which does state that
9:28 am
hokie carla
ok, will try, thanks, bea
9:28 am
rururocks
there's a restaurant out here named that in Big Sur
9:28 am
hokie carla
not sure if winston will eat Dawn
9:28 am
hurshy
they also say that ants will not cross a chalk line
9:28 am
hurshy
might be less messy than dawn
9:29 am
rururocks
but then they'll smell dawn fresh though hursh
9:29 am

penquis
ty, bea...
9:46 am
hokie carla
well, this list is really not helping very much
9:47 am
hurshy
well i think it was misleading to say the 8s were hard. 3 weird, 3 more normal.
9:48 am
hokie carla
the 8's are almost always hard for me, whether they're normal words or not
9:48 am
hurshy
yes, but, it just gave me the impression they were like, all weird
9:48 am
cybernan
can't figure out the small word
9:49 am
hokie carla
well, bea was saying it to me, so maybe a know your audience type of thing
9:49 am
BzznBea
your 4th word in that sentence
9:49 am
cybernan
know it has to have a 2 pt tile and stil can't monkey it
9:49 am
penquis
grammatically, it's an article...
9:49 am
hokie carla
nan, the small word is a very common article
9:49 am
hurshy
but if the 8s are always hard for you then it wasn't saying much lol
9:49 am
cybernan
ty - was starting with the other n
9:50 am

and I was looking for a word that means small
9:50 am

bye bea! have a good one.

penquis
Name That Proper Noun...
10:14 am
cybernan
name that proper noun and it has to be something that is not accepted as a word
10:15 am
cybernan
in this case the answer is..... the Pitti Palace
10:16 am
cybernan
after reading about them, I think Putin is taking his cues from the Medici --- I think they were rather brutal to anyone not in their circle
10:17 am
cybernan
on the other hand maybe we wouldn't have had the Michelangelo's and Donatelli

i was once interviewed for a Ukrainian newspaper article and I was also interviewed for Ukrainian television... long time ago....1997....
10:19 am
cybernan
how did that come about, pen?
10:20 am
penquis
i was in Ukraine with my Russian friend whose mother was Ukrainian....we were staying with her brother in a city in eastern Ukraine, a place that never got American tourists...someone heard that I was there and they wanted to know my impressions of the country and the city...
10:21 am
Uneaixoise
What an experience......
10:21 am
cybernan
hope your friends' families are ok
10:22 am
penquis
yes, it was....last time i heard from my friend, her brother was ok, but i am worried now because that area of the country is now getting some attention from the Russians....
10:23 am
penquis
it's hard to chat with my friend because we are both careful about what we say....don't want her to get in any trouble...
10:23 am
cybernan
Putin is determined not to leave this war without something.
10:23 am
penquis
and apparently there are more Russian sympathizers in eastern Ukraine...
10:25 am
penquis
i remember sitting down for lunch at my friend's aunt's house ... she was 80 at the time... with tears in her eyes, she said she never thought she would see the day when she would have an American at her table....
10:27 am
dan2bit
agree cybernan, if May 9th (annual Victory Day) comes and goes without Putin being able to claim the Russians "won" in Ukraine, things will take an even bleaker turn
10:27 am

10:27 am
cybernan
yes I read that too --- I don't understand why anyone would want to live under Putin's fist. It is just sickening to see how people in Russia live. We had the opportunity to do a home visit at one of the towns we stopped in on our Russian cruise. As it was approved by government officials, I assume this was the home of one of the more affluent citizens. It turned out to be what I would describe as a 1930's prairie farmhouse -- rright down to the decor, furniture and appliances.

The lady proudly showed off her garden --- more cabbage than I have eaten in my lifetime!
10:29 am
Uneaixoise
The news is just hours and hours of heartbreak :-(
10:30 am
penquis
i stayed with several Russian families in Russia and Ukraine...life is tough for sure....Putin got support from the people because life got better for the people during his reign...the only way was up and the economy started to roll a little because of the lifting of old communist restrictions...but he got the credit for that...
10:30 am
penquis
i ate tons of cabbage, lol...all root vegetables really... ;o)
10:31 am
cybernan
yes - beets, carrots , potatoes
10:32 am
cybernan
oh - and she had lots of tomatoes too -- she was a good gardener, but I think they ate all winter out of that garden.
10:32 am
penquis
yes, they can a lot...and barter with others with those goods...
10:33 am

her husband, who had recently passed away, had carved hundreds of little toy soldiers. She was painting them to sell in the market. They all work so very hard for so very little.
10:34 am

10:35 am

I thought you said they made a lot of cabbage though
10:36 am

aww, ty .. teaching is a challenging profession that teaches you too! Hopefully, my former students have some good memories of our times together. The classroom has changed so much since then with all the state mandated tests etc.. we didn't have to be on the same page as everyone else, so I felt free to explore some depths with the kids and to have some fun too..
