7:21 am

hurshy

7:22 am

7:23 am

hurshy

same

7:23 am

mael

7:25 am

mael

I think I know marlboro and... hm that's about it

7:25 am

hurshy

geez, american ones are hard enough without having to know international ones!

7:25 am

hokie carla

winston-salem is a town, winston is the cigs

7:26 am

hurshy

ah

7:26 am

hokie carla

unless there was a brand named after the town

7:26 am

hurshy

i'm just trying to picture what i've seen at gas station stores

7:26 am

mael

I just realized I forgot which brand my mother smoked

7:26 am

hokie carla

yeah, I have my whole life in tobacco country so no int'l ones around

7:27 am

mael

which is kind of sad, though it was a long time ago

7:27 am

hokie carla

* have lived

7:27 am

hurshy

of all the things you could forget about a parent, i think that's the least worth remembering anyway

7:28 am

hurshy

i words inveigled!

7:29 am

mael

don't you mean smoothed out, given the contents of that top i? lol

7:29 am

hokie carla

my dad smoked a pipe when I was really young but no cigs in my house. my neighbor across the street had both parents smoking all the time and she hated it so much.

7:29 am

hokie carla

yeah, I did both i's on first look, which is always nice

7:29 am

hurshy

remember Ramona Quimby making a banner to try to get her dad to stop in one of the books?

7:29 am

mael

oh I hated it too, I used to hide her packages of cigarettes under the couch cushion hoping she'd stop. And she did, cold turkey, when I was about 8

7:30 am

hokie carla

my neighbor did the hiding too

7:30 am

hokie carla

I do not remember specifics from those books, though I did read them.

7:30 am

bichon

I smaked when I was a teen and in my 20's. I finally stopped when my son begged me to.

7:30 am

hokie carla

is there a sergio brand?

7:31 am

mael

I used to smoke one once in a while when I was a teen, I liked the action of smoking but not the actual cigarettes. I lucked out that I never got addicted

7:31 am

hokie carla

I really don't understand how young people today can start

7:32 am

mael

I have to go fix our orchard gate, have a great day everyone. I might be back later for my last 96

7:32 am

hurshy

7:32 am

hokie carla

7:32 am

hurshy

rates among teens apparently went from 36% in 1997 to 9% in 2015

7:33 am

hokie carla

i know it's all about the vaping now, but I know and have seen some in their 20s smoking

7:34 am

hurshy

i'm just saying, the rates have gone way down

7:35 am

hurshy

nice to actually have one good trend in the US

7:35 am

hokie carla

we still never got the NTPN answer

7:36 am

BzznBea

The tobacco growers are seriously hurting because of that trend.

7:36 am

BzznBea

fuzzybunny

Nan, we are still enjoying our extra long summer! Walked a couple of miles on the beach today in 70 degree warmth in Rhode Island. Can't even imagine having a snowstorm. I must say I am jealous, I love snow.

1:08 pm

1:45 pm

hokie carla

I gave Winston a bath, then walked him 3 miles, then dried him with a hair dryer forever, then trimmed his ears and paws and cut some mats off. oh, and brushed him, then lint rolled myself, now I have to vacuum.

1:45 pm

penquis

yuck...

1:45 pm

cybernan

3:13 pm

dcseain

looking for it..

3:14 pm

dcseain

hoo boy.

3:14 pm

dcseain

VERY twisty

3:15 pm

dcseain

latin plural ending.

3:15 pm

dcseain

thank you for that

3:18 pm

cybernan

a clue please -- there are a lot of latin endings

3:19 pm

dcseain

3rd declension dative

3:20 pm

hokie carla

that's a clue? ðŸ¤£

3:21 pm

dcseain

well, gives last letter :) combined with twisty. it has no plural in English.

3:21 pm

cybernan

I guess for the geniuses of the world, carla - certainly not for me

3:21 pm

dcseain

I can offer a definition. really no idea otherwise

3:21 pm

periwinkle

3:22 pm

hokie carla

I'll take the definition please

3:22 pm

cybernan

how about a breakdown clue?

3:22 pm

dcseain

an, vowel, cons cluster, vowel.

3:23 pm

cybernan

no idea what a declension is -- sounds like something gramatical but is it english?

3:23 pm

dcseain

declension is to nouns as conjugation is to verbs.

3:23 pm

hokie carla

oh, so this is from the bottom A?

3:24 pm

dcseain

non-human animals: a state or interval of non-sexual activity

3:24 pm

dcseain

yes

3:24 pm

dcseain

an8 is from the top one.

3:24 pm

cybernan

oh well -- no wonder we didn't know it :D

3:25 pm

cybernan

got it from the breakdown clue - ty

3:25 pm

hokie carla

so abstinence for animals?

3:25 pm

dcseain

:)

3:25 pm

dcseain

3:26 pm

dcseain

like between when a female Is in heat.

3:26 pm

hokie carla

I was going to say that

3:26 pm

hokie carla

or opposite the heat cycle

3:26 pm

3:35 pm

cybernan

oops: an + vowel + 3 consonants + vowel

3:37 pm

cybernan

se 7/37 = ocean + young female (change last letter)

3:38 pm

hokie carla

3:39 pm

cybernan

lol - never thought of that!

3:39 pm

cybernan

anything else, carla?

3:41 pm

cybernan

8:08 pm

moolingwa

8:13 pm

moolingwa

dauber
