One of my sisters has a brook in her back yard. Big storms turn the brook into a river so they had large boulders placed along the banks after Hurricane Ireen in 2011 and again this past summer.

7:04 am

little mim

I went there last year :))

7:04 am

hurshy

that would help

7:05 am

hurshy

if it is 45 points i think it must either use the D or the H, because the P is a bit out of reach if we start with st

7:05 am

hurshy

hokie carla

ah. thanks ori

7:53 am

mael

7:53 am

mael

:)

7:57 am

mael

8/9

7:57 am

hokie carla

7:57 am

hokie carla

8:00 am

mael

8:02 am

hurshy

8:02 am

BzznBea

maybe it is the fe5 that we just had last week.

8:02 am

hurshy

is this an accurate conclusion to draw?

8:02 am

mael

I haven't looked for the list yet, sorry. I dunno

8:02 am

hokie carla

I don't think so, I think mael was just offering it up

8:02 am

Kiani

8:03 am

mael

ah, we had it in wordle last week?

8:05 am

BzznBea

yes

8:06 am

hokie carla

well, it was the last fa4, and the reason I didn't try it is I know I typed it last night. so annoying. I had at least 5 yesterday that weren't there even though I know I entered them.

8:06 am

hokie carla

always happens in these big grids

8:06 am

hokie carla

guess I will double check all my H's then too

8:08 am

8:08 am

hokie carla

8:11 am

8:12 am

mael

excellent! one pass on the Os for me today, they jumped right out

8:13 am

For those of you who watch Good Morning America, turns out your co-anchors are a lot more than just co-anchors. Too bad they are both married to other people.

9:47 am

rururocks

huh?

9:47 am

MollyL

Page Six says the co-anchors are having an affair

9:48 am

rururocks

I don't even know who the anchors are?

9:48 am

Shirlockc

that'll boost their ratings

9:48 am

cherlyq

I tend to take things like that with a grain of salt

9:48 am

Shirlockc

it is a bit spicy

9:49 am

MollyL

And the funniest entertainment news blurb I have read in a long time...Jennifer Lopez wants to make a sequel to Gigli. I can't stop laughing.

9:50 am

hurshy

seriously? she does know it flopped, right?

9:51 am

MollyL

To say that woman is delusional is putting it mildly.

9:51 am

hurshy

i feel like it is the most famous flop... at least in recent memory

9:52 am

hokie carla

yes, feels like it overtook Ishtar

9:54 am

hokie carla

she probably wants to because she & affleck were in it together and now they are married

9:54 am

hurshy

ok so they can like make a home video sequel and not waste money trying to inflict it on other people

9:55 am

rururocks

yeah.. that worked out for kim kardashian good call hursh

9:56 am

hurshy

that is probably funny but i have no idea what kim kardashian did, i don't follow celebrity news enough to know

9:56 am

Shirlockc

no one know what kim kardiashian did

9:57 am

origami

She made a sex tape

9:58 am

rururocks

a spicy home video

9:58 am

rururocks

<---not that I've seen it.. just heard about it

9:58 am

Shirlockc

really? and then peppered the internet?

9:59 am

rururocks

oh yeah.. that's how the kardashians came to be

9:59 am

Shirlockc

that's one way to curry favor

10:03 am

rururocks

I truly don't understand their popularity. They are really disgusting people

10:04 am

origami

I concur.

10:18 am

MollyL

I have never gotten their popularity either.

10:21 am

hokie carla

would love to finish this H because then I'd have the whole column gray

10:30 am

rururocks

i'm really stuck

10:31 am

m9f9l

10:32 am

hokie carla

I'm really stuck as well, ruru, but probably with more words left than you

10:32 am

hokie carla

now I'm just entering everything again just in case

10:32 am

m9f9l

I'm pretty stuck also. I haven't even gotten 1/2 way on all tiles because of the e in right column.

10:33 am

hokie carla

I have 5 there. the one EW and the other 4 are ET. no idea what the last one is.

10:34 am

m9f9l

Ok.. I just monkeyed enough to have it. So nbt and nbs and 1/2 way on all tiles! YAY!

10:35 am

m9f9l

Thanks for steering me to et

10:35 am

hokie carla

woot!

10:35 am

m9f9l

I only have 12 on the H

10:36 am

rururocks

72 words to go here and 20 of them are fours

10:36 am

hokie carla

10:36 am

m9f9l

Yikes!

10:36 am

marksdolly

Hokie, did you get thru the H's?

10:36 am

hokie carla

10:36 am

penquis

10:42 am

penquis

big grid....only grayed one here...

10:42 am

marksdolly

so Hokie, does that mean you take back when you said last night that this might be an easier grid? ;) lol

10:42 am

hokie carla

nope, it's still way easier than yesterday's

10:42 am

marksdolly

lol

10:43 am

penquis

looks easier, but I just started...

10:43 am

marksdolly

today's are more common words

10:44 am

hokie carla

I have 5S, 4B, 4S, 2T, O, H, E, 2L, 4S, 7W left. 5-6-12-4-1-3

10:45 am

hokie carla

any ideas on my 2 L's? not too many directions there so it's a little baffling.

10:45 am

marksdolly

don't let that H trip you up , they are all common words, you're probably missing the ho 6

10:45 am

rururocks

i figured out your missing h hokie

10:45 am

hokie carla

ooh, do tell, ruru

10:45 am

rururocks

10:45 am

m9f9l

10:46 am

hokie carla

nope, will look, thx ruru and dolly

10:46 am

m9f9l

10:46 am

marksdolly

10:47 am

rururocks

i figured out your missing L too

10:47 am

cybernan

good morning everyone :)

10:47 am

marksdolly

10:48 am

m9f9l

I feel like I've tried everything...

10:48 am

hokie carla

10:49 am

hokie carla

10:51 am

m9f9l

It's a pretty sweet word hokie

10:51 am

m9f9l

Yay...bingo on the middle column!

10:52 am

rururocks

10:52 am

m9f9l

10:53 am

rururocks

10:53 am

hokie carla

10:53 am

hokie carla

10:53 am

m9f9l

We were all abuzz about it too.

10:53 am

hokie carla

now that LA7...is there a 6 or 8 with it?

10:54 am

rururocks

10:55 am

cherlyq

4 corners and middle square grayed out lol

10:55 am

m9f9l
