Johnyboy69

Sleep is good. Usually at that age, people don't get proper sleep. If she is able to sleep, be happy.

ItalianGreyhound

Just found a woman of the night

5:34 am

mattygroves

Looking for that NE. So many possibilities!

5:34 am

mattygroves

Found it. Thanks!

5:35 am

ItalianGreyhound

dont

5:35 am

ItalianGreyhound

have any Ns yet

5:35 am

ItalianGreyhound

and good morning, Matty

5:37 am

mattygroves

Good morning! How are you today? I'm glad it's Friday

5:37 am

mattygroves

I now have all three Ns, which is nice ;)

5:37 am

ItalianGreyhound

TGIF so far so good, as its only around 5:30 here

5:38 am

mattygroves

Hah, yeah. It's 11.38 here (as you probably know) Where in the US are you?

5:38 am

mattygroves

Ah, Texas (according to your profile, anyway :) )

5:39 am

ItalianGreyhound

yes, near Dallas

5:41 am

mattygroves

I'm near Windsor (ish). Commutable into London, though I WFH most days

5:43 am

ItalianGreyhound

I can get to Dallas in under an hour - all day to get to the other side of the State

5:44 am

mattygroves

Yeah, it still makes me laugh when Europeans have no clue how big the US is (I'm originally from the US - NY, but have been here 34 years)

5:46 am

sukee

I was shocked when i was a teen that it took us more than one day to get out of Ontario from Toronto on a train. The province is huge!

5:46 am

ItalianGreyhound

kinda amazing to be playing a game with folks from all over the globe

5:47 am

mattygroves

Mind you, it can take ages to get from here to, say Cornwall or Norfolk because of weird train connections or lack of motorways in those areas

6:02 am

ItalianGreyhound

Yeesh! HE 8/55? Then MY + st 5/14 is jusy about me

6:03 am

ItalianGreyhound

just

6:04 am

ChampFit

I call FOUL on that word!!! Thx IG...didn't have it.

6:04 am

ItalianGreyhound

hi Champ! I get the spirit but the word is bogus

6:05 am

mattygroves

Looking - it's my missing 8

6:05 am

ChampFit

Agree!

6:05 am

mattygroves

Not sure what the MY bit of the clue is....

6:06 am

ItalianGreyhound

the HE ends in a tale

6:06 am

mattygroves

Yep, got that. Hang on - should hopefully find it soon ;)

6:06 am

sukee

The word is in the Oxford English Dictionary.

6:06 am

mattygroves

Ah HAH! Thanks !

6:07 am

ChampFit

Have never heard anyone use it. BBL...happy babbling all!

6:07 am

ItalianGreyhound

you cant find it cuz its a made up word, no thanks to Oxford

6:07 am

sukee

It's a made up word like every other word

6:08 am

mattygroves

Tis a silly word. But so many in this game are, and yet there are words (like internet) that should be there, but aren't. And true, Sukee - EVERY word is made up :)

6:08 am

sukee

I'm assuming we are talking about the same word.

6:10 am

mattygroves

And words change meanings over time. NICE is a good example of that

6:10 am

sukee

True, I play other word games and the same words on here are not always accepted there

6:48 am

periwinkle

good morning. help with lower i please

Jeff7

Director of Beverly Hills Cop, Midnight Run, Meet Joe Black in the grid

7:19 am

BzznBea

Brest

7:19 am

Jeff7

yes, I purposely left out that he directed Gigli.....

7:22 am

MollyL

He probably wishes everyone would ðŸ˜Š

7:43 am

hurshy

ooh, feminist word is actually in enable! am surprised

7:51 am

hokie carla

just found it, that is really weird. no idea it was that old.

7:52 am

hurshy

probably goes back to the civil rights era

7:53 am

hokie carla

says first recorded 1975-80

7:53 am

MollyL

We have had that one before because this was the first place I had seen it.

7:53 am

hurshy

1970, i found

7:54 am

hokie carla

I remember seeing it first during the hilary election

7:54 am

hurshy

oh i'm pretty sure i learned about it in college

7:55 am

hokie carla

I definitely didn't

7:58 am

hurshy

there is a truck out in the road in front of my house, with people picking up fallen branches and woodchipping them. fritz found the noise from this too terrifying to eat breakfast until i sat with him and gave him hugs and pets first, and kept talking soothingly while he ate. it really makes you think about the impact these everyday human activities must be having on WILDlife, if it's affecting a house cat like that.

7:58 am

hokie carla

but I studied accounting at a non liberal arts school, so

7:58 am

hurshy

opie wasn't too thrilled about it but he's braver than fritz so he was more able to push past it

7:59 am

hokie carla

maybe it's only affecting your cat that way because you have trained him to get hugs and pets when he's scared

7:59 am

hurshy

no, indeed, i haven't. he normally just hides.

8:00 am

hurshy

he gets the fewest hugs and pets of my cats because he seeks them less

8:00 am

hokie carla

winston would be barking non-stop

8:00 am

MollyL

I think animals who live in the wild have become accustomed to any noise they have to deal with. You don't see squirrels and birds acting terrified of thunder like house pets are.

8:00 am

hokie carla

but he would also want the pets. we call him wimpston for a reason.

8:00 am

hurshy

in fact i was pleasantly surprised that he did find my presence comforting enough to help

8:00 am

hokie carla

yeah, I don't think the wildlife give a hoot

8:01 am

hurshy

they did find that the anxiety of marine animals went down during the pandemic when the international shipping went way down.

8:01 am

hurshy

and another study put a little speaker in the rockies in an area where humans don't usually go, and just from hearing the voices of humans, even wolves and bears and things started to avoid that area.

8:02 am

MollyL

*Thinks about whales on Xanax

8:02 am

hokie carla

yeah well, the bears here don't really care.

8:02 am

hokie carla

and the squirrels...fuggetaboutit

8:03 am

MollyL

No shit, nothing scares squirrels

8:04 am

hurshy

i bet hawks scare squirrels...

8:04 am

hurshy

as they should!

8:04 am

hokie carla

can't tell you how many times I've almost been wrecked by squirrels on mt. bike trails.

8:05 am

MollyL

I believe it Carla, they are ballsy little critters

8:07 am

hokie carla

and they have a death wish

8:07 am

hokie carla

or they're really bad at judging oncoming bikes or cars

8:08 am

hurshy

i believe it is the latter...

8:09 am

hurshy

a guy from india told me they have a snake there which is very slow and you have to really stomp loudly when you walk to alert it you are coming so it will get out of the way in time, otherwise if you scare it of course it will bite you, and it's one of the most deadly venoms in the world... so glad i do not live there...

8:10 am

hokie carla

yeah, I follow whatsthissnake on reddit and occasionally someone will post a crazy dangerous one from another continent, and I am glad not to be there.

8:11 am

hurshy

india, australia, those are the main places

8:11 am

sukee

poisonous spiders and snakes are the reason I don't want to live in Australia.

8:11 am

sukee

I know some are here but not where I am :)

8:11 am

hokie carla

same, sukee. well, I've said I don't want to visit due to that.

8:12 am

hurshy

that's not even the only reason any more, because it's like the american west in terms of how fires are increasing

8:12 am

sukee

that too

8:12 am

Johnyboy69

they are only in the country side and remote villages, not in cities or towns. :)

8:12 am

sukee

Not from some of the vet shows I've seen :)

8:13 am

hurshy

heck i wouldn't even want to visit FLORIDA

8:13 am

hokie carla

I think this one guy posted one from pakistan or somewhere and it was in his house and got loose and he caught it a 2nd time and had to kill it, so all these bleeding heart people were like, just relocate it, never kill it. then the real snake people spoke up and said, no, that snake is super deadly...you have to kill it if it's in your house to protect your family.

8:15 am

hurshy

phantom: reset

8:15 am

hokie carla

yeah, surprising with all those e's it's not there

8:16 am

Soodle

So glad that St Patrick got rid of all the snakes from this country :-)

8:16 am

hokie carla

lucky

8:17 am

hurshy

hawaii doesn't have them either

8:18 am

hokie carla

the worst we have are copperheads and timber rattlers. have seen both in the wild. do not like.

8:18 am

hokie carla

and by we, I mean in my area, not in all of US

8:19 am

MollyL

Apparently, no island countries do. Or almost island countries.

8:19 am

hokie carla

I think some hitched rides on ships back in the day

8:24 am

hurshy

wow just put in an O i didn't expect to go and it did

8:25 am

hurshy

which means one more T will give me third row grey

8:32 am

hurshy

first col grey!

8:33 am

hurshy

second col grey!

8:34 am

sukee

Finally hoet

8:35 am

hurshy

8s done!

8:37 am

hurshy

15 words to go!

8:37 am

hokie carla

name that dwarf in the grid

8:37 am

hurshy

oh bother

8:38 am

hurshy

by length i need 1-1-8-5

8:38 am

hokie carla

lots of 6s

8:39 am

hokie carla

come on, the hobbit. if anyone can get it, it's you.

8:39 am

hurshy

haha here i was focusing on the 7 dwarfs... but maybe it is a LOTR dwarf

8:39 am

hokie carla

is mael traveling again? haven't seen her lately.

8:40 am

hurshy

i'm not actually that huge of an LOTR person. i've read the books and seen the LOTR movies... only once each book/movie

8:40 am

hokie carla

she would get it too

8:40 am

hurshy

and did not watch the hobbit movies

8:40 am

hokie carla

I see. did you read the hobbit?

8:40 am

hurshy

i'm guessing it ends with an i...

8:41 am

hokie carla

nope

8:41 am

hurshy

i did read the hobbit when a class i was aiding read it (5th grade)

8:41 am

hokie carla

maybe molly will pipe up. she always knows everything through the magic of google.

8:41 am

hurshy

that was 6 or 7 years ago

8:42 am

hurshy

well any of us could do THAT, lol

8:43 am

hurshy

the fact that my mind goes to snow white before LOTR kinda proves i'm not the biggest LOTR buff, i guess, lol

8:43 am

hurshy

i've just been friends with and/or married to people who are VERY into it

8:43 am

hurshy

one of my college friends is The Tolkein Professor, so...

8:43 am

hokie carla

my oldest kid was very into it, read all the other books too.

8:44 am

hurshy

i just feel like Tolkein was completely incapable of writing about the romances, barely said anything about them, while giving a mind-numbing amount of detail about battles...

8:45 am

hokie carla

lol, definitely not romance books

8:46 am

hurshy

but like, Arwen and Aragorn COULD have been a great love story, if he'd had the faintest idea how to write about it

8:46 am

sukee

I tried LOTR but failed. I did like the Silmarilion and The Hobbit

8:46 am

hurshy

he should have taken notes from Trollope and Austen

8:46 am

hokie carla

they aded all the arwen romance stuff in the movie

8:46 am

hurshy

yeah

8:47 am

hokie carla

but why, he wasn't trying to write an austen romance. ðŸ¤£

8:47 am

hurshy

i just would do it the other way around... "and then there was a battle. it lasted 3 days. this is who won."

8:47 am

11:29 am

amelu0218

It's bad enough remembering to change the year when writing checks but not knowing what month it is??

11:29 am

moolingwa

its hard to keep track without specific anchors, found when we were in full COVID, was really hard to remember what day it was...and it's still lingering

11:30 am

amelu0218

it was a bit windy here yesterday, but that may be because I made red beans and rice Wed...
