foot and mouth disease; animals or people? (AF 6/27 & 7/40)
5:16 am
ChampFit
Apparently both. Our Pastor has it right now.
5:18 am
ItalianGreyhound
wow - the Net says its very rare in humans
5:19 am
ChampFit
Well, he sees a lot of people in a week. We have a large parish.
5:21 am
ItalianGreyhound
are you getting this rain, Champ? Been at it all night; couple of inches so far here
5:24 am
ChampFit
Yep! Supposedly till 9 a.m. We sure needed it, and I know you did too!
5:26 am
ItalianGreyhound
we havent seen the sun since last Wed. up here - should come out later today
5:27 am
ChampFit
I call foul on not being able to use "one who fl5/16s".
5:27 am
ChampFit
Yes, we haven't had much sun at all this week. Unusual for us.
5:29 am
ChampFit
Saw The Glass Onion yesterday...really enjoyed it!
5:35 am
Scrabbler
Good morning Champ and IG.
5:36 am
Scrabbler
I have to work today and be on call for the weekend. Waaah.
5:37 am
ChampFit
Ugh! That's no fun. In other medical news, my daughter saw an 11 lb baby born last night. She said he looked like the Michelin Man. :)
5:38 am
Scrabbler
Haha. That baby is already the size of a 2 month old and can skip newborn diapers. The biggest newborn I ever saw was 13-3 born to a diabetic mother.
5:38 am
MollyL
Netflix, a really fun movie.
5:38 am
ChampFit
This was the same situation. My daughter works NICU, so she usually sees the total opposite size kids.
5:39 am
MollyL
Oops, lost part of my post...Slumberland
5:39 am
ChampFit
Oh, good to know...thanks. The Glass Onion will be on Netflix in a week.
5:39 am
Scrabbler
Yes, the variation in sizes in the NICU is dramatic. Full-term huge babies and 1lb 24 weekers.
5:40 am
MollyL
And I gave birth to an 11 pound baby
5:40 am
ChampFit
Well that's an event to remember! I bow to you, Molly!
5:41 am
MollyL
My boys were all big, 9, 10 and 11 pounds
5:42 am
ChampFit
The good thing about that is it isn't as scary holding them.
5:43 am
MollyL
My 11 pounder never wore newborn clothes
5:43 am

good morning all.help with lone S in right column please
7:35 am
pcal2
peri, if you are still here...I think lone s is to talk back
7:46 am
hokie carla
ooh, I remembered a word from the other day
7:53 am
MollyL
It is actually the plural of a sun word, and she got it, hence the nm
7:53 am
mael
there are 2 lone Ss in the right column :)
7:53 am
hokie carla
well, to be fair, there are 2 lone s's in the right column
7:53 am
mael
how is everyone?
7:53 am
hokie carla
but the sun one took me way longer than the talk back one so I assumed that's the one she peri'd.
7:53 am
MollyL
Yes I just noticed
7:54 am
hokie carla
hey mael, pretty good, how are you?
7:54 am
mael
catching up on some work and babbling while my MIL plays monopoly with the kids
7:54 am
MollyL
That is what I thought Carla
7:55 am
hokie carla
oh, monopoly should take them all day
7:56 am
mael
I took them to see the nutcracker at the boston opera house yesterday, it was fun!
7:56 am
hokie carla
just watching world cup here. both my kids are here.
7:56 am
hokie carla
nice!
7:56 am
MollyL
Unless her kids are Monopoly sharks
7:56 am
hokie carla
good point
7:57 am
mael
more like one can't read yet but is keenly aware of money and the other offers you waaaay too much for your properties
7:58 am
hokie carla
my neighbor and I used to have games that lasted several days. we would slide the board under the couch for the night.
7:58 am
mael
hah that's wonderful
8:00 am
hokie carla
but it was never fun with my family because mr. homie, who was a trader at the bank, is a monopoly shark.
8:00 am
mael
hah. I just have a knack for hitting income tax at every go around
8:00 am
mael
so my 200 is pretty much forfeit
8:02 am
hokie carla
hmm, I guess enable predates flossers?
8:03 am
hokie carla
these f's are tough
8:03 am
mael
you'd think it could also mean someone who fl5es and not just the little device, right?
8:03 am
mael
the Fs are the hardest for me today, 23 left of which 5 are Fs
8:04 am
hokie carla
33 left here, 6 are F
8:12 am
mael
sorry Molly but I'm going to brag today: I've gotten wordle in 2 for 3 days in a row!
8:13 am
hokie carla
I tried black first yesterday since the list is now "curated". didn't work out for me.
8:14 am
hokie carla
well, my starter today was a mistake
8:15 am
BzznBea
hotty is not a word
8:16 am
hokie carla
oh, lucky guess on 3
8:16 am
hokie carla
duh, it's hottie
8:17 am
hokie carla
which is also not on enable
8:18 am
rururocks
i couldn't get wordie in 500 tries
8:19 am
welki
morning, folks. hokie, what does the 'list is now 'curated'' mean?
8:20 am
Gitel
Hokie, what does it mean that Wordle is "curated"?
8:21 am
hokie carla
so when wordle was created, they had a computer generated word list written into the code. so people that know how to do such things could see what the next word was. NYT very recently stopped using that list and now picks words.
8:22 am
hokie carla
so like Wed the word was DRIVE, Thur was FEAST. Veteran's Day word was MEDAL. I tried BLACK yesterday for Black Friday. alas, it was not that.
8:23 am
hokie carla
here is a link explaining better than I can. https://tinyurl.com/44nam63p
8:24 am
72 Temple Owl
good morning. i find that entities are now censoring the word lists to rule out words they think are offensive.
8:24 am
72 Temple Owl
it is maddening at times to see what they omit
8:27 am
72 Temple Owl
hi welk

mael
babble is best
8:40 am
hurshy
oh and we just had that the other day! i should have gotten it
8:40 am
mael
the only reason I got that A is because we had it earlier in the week

8:42 am
hokie carla
yeah, my A is from the asshole A, I have the other A gray
8:43 am
mael

8:48 am
saanichcat
I had to look that up, they look wonderful! Can you stock up the PB for us?
8:48 am
hokie carla
actually solterito, not a
8:49 am
hurshy
did you get of4/9
8:49 am
saanichcat
a completely different food!!
8:49 am
hokie carla
ugh, missed the slur today, thanks
8:50 am
hokie carla
haha, it is completely different
8:50 am
hokie carla
but we can say both are phantoms here
8:50 am
mael
it looks like solteritas are colombian cookies!
8:50 am
welki
thanks again for the article - the change makes little difference for me, but I have friends who'd be interested.
8:51 am
hokie carla
the cookies do look better, but the veggie salad is delish
8:51 am
mael
I can't say I like having to think about what an EDITOR might like rather than just what word would be acceptable
8:52 am
hurshy
7 left... mostly 5s
8:52 am
hokie carla
you're welcome. just wanted to add, it's not just people guessing that, NYT actually sent me an email with the editor talking about her new job picking the words.
8:52 am
hokie carla
still 23 here
8:53 am
saanichcat
what did she say carla?
8:54 am
hurshy
"i can't believe i actually get paid for this!"
8:54 am
mael
9 left, mostly 4s... which is odd
8:54 am
saanichcat
and what did you say to get a personal email?
8:54 am
saanichcat
hahaha hurshy
8:54 am
hurshy
she didn't say it was a personal email
8:54 am
phaeton
clue for fy5 pls
8:54 am
hokie carla
lol, I just get the NYT games emails
8:55 am
mael
hah, they sent it to all the NYT games subscribers
8:55 am
hurshy
fy5 looks like how shakespeare might have spelled an epileptic seizure
8:55 am
mael
what a good clue hursh
8:56 am
saanichcat
oh I get it now. I play the free bee. Often it uses older NYT games.
8:56 am
mael
are those the only fy words? I'm still missing two Fs
8:56 am
hokie carla
I also get all the NYT emails which is annoying since I don't subscribe to the news, so they have links that don't work for me.
8:56 am
hurshy
so unsubscribe
8:56 am
welki
fyi - i found wordle more difficult, knowing that there was a direction i was supposed to follow
8:57 am
mael
you can curate which emails you get from them. I like their cooking ones, their recipes are mostly excellent
8:57 am
mael
you're not supposed to follow a direction, really. It's just that the word is slightly less random than previously. It was a curated list already, in that the developer had eliminated all words HE thought would be too obscure
8:57 am
welki
i like their recipes too, but think you need a nyt subscription to see them. i only have a games subscription
8:57 am
hokie carla
I like reading the games emails, they give stats like the hardest wordle and pangram, and % of how many solved it. will have to look at the email subs.
8:58 am
origami
I am thinking of upgrading my games only subscription to the NYT to include the recipes.
