that's the perfect pizza topping - phantom anchovy
12:06 am
hokie carla
definitely better than it actually being on your pizza 😜

12:32 am
justafreep
thanks for the biggies. I would never have gotten the ho8 despite having gotten its root! Sigh.
12:33 am
hokie carla
I'm not seeing any of the other called ones. maybe tomorrow. I did at least gray all the T's, unlike today's where I couldn't see 5 of them.
12:33 am
Lizlin
yw - I'm just adding that ending to everything. That's what I did with that prefix too.
12:33 am
hokie carla
ah, no wonder I couldn't find the v
12:34 am
hokie carla
guess I haven't found the magic prefix or suffix yet ðŸ˜
12:34 am
Gillie
I have all the H's but the ho7, and I still have no clue what the ho7 could be
12:35 am
Gillie
*ho8, I mean
12:35 am
Gillie
nm - got it, although I don't believe in it
12:36 am
Lizlin
Same here too
12:37 am
Lizlin
No clue on that v though.
12:37 am
hokie carla
I still got nothin'
12:38 am
justafreep
it's an instrument
12:41 am
justafreep
am I missing an obvious U on the right?
12:41 am
hokie carla
a small one
12:41 am
hokie carla
just a little babblet
12:41 am
justafreep
ahh. thanks
12:42 am
Gillie
Well, I went to MoreWords - the vo7 is "an electronic device that synthesizes speech", according to dictionary.com. Sounds vaguely familiar.
12:44 am
Lizlin
I'm sure I'll end up checking forewords for that vo7 too - but not yet!
12:44 am
hokie carla
you'd think that would help me with at least the 3rd letter, but so far not
12:44 am
Lizlin
My thoughts too
12:46 am
hokie carla
ok, looked it up. I do have HOET now at least. 🤣
12:46 am
Lizlin
ound it with Gillie's definition - thanks Gillie and Freep

Hi IG. How are you today?
6:02 am

so far so good - and you?
6:03 am
Scrabbler
My shoulder surgery is set for Feb 14 so now this is real and my anxiety has worsened.
6:04 am
ItalianGreyhound
what are they fixing?
6:04 am
Scrabbler
3 rotator cuff tendons are torn as is my biceps tendon.
6:05 am
ItalianGreyhound
Did you injure it somehow, like a fall?
6:06 am
Scrabbler
I fell on my elbow last June when hiking and OUCH. Time and PT have not helped. A recent MRI showed why.
6:08 am
ItalianGreyhound
they will fix it - no worries
6:08 am
MollyL
Scrabbler, I don't know if you are into this kind of thing, but Belleruth Naparstek has a great guided imagery CD on dealing with surgery anxiety

7:42 am
rururocks
it's got to be a weird le8
7:47 am
saanichcat
I had to look it up. Monkeys in eternity could never get that
7:48 am
MollyL
Even the dictionary readin' flippers didn't call it
7:49 am
rururocks
i got the ho8 though
7:50 am
rururocks
thanks for that 8
8:03 am

bye until tomorrow!
8:26 am

well that was good to know so i could go look up the le8 right at the start!
8:34 am
welki
'morning - first thing i didn't see was anchovy :)
8:37 am
hurshy
i thought betty might count on the strength of apple brown betty, but no such luck
8:37 am
welki
yep, that's one i try, too
8:38 am
welki
(you'd think i'd learn, but nooooo)
8:38 am
hurshy
well it doesn't come up often enough to really solidify it in your mind, probably
8:39 am
welki
that's kind of you to say *lol*
8:40 am
hokie carla
she's a total betty
8:40 am
hurshy
see but in that context i could imagine that it might still be Betty (proper), hokie. whereas apple brown betty i should think we could move it to common.
8:42 am
Jeff7
clue for that le8 pls
8:42 am
hurshy
now you've got anchovy stuck in my head, welki!
8:43 am
hurshy
e***tricit* + therefore
8:45 am
welki
could make a limerick with sisyphus
8:45 am

gotta use that in conversation at some point lol
8:48 am
hokie carla
was trying to find ergo everywhere
8:50 am
hurshy
i saw this yesterday in a little post about funny things kids say: "A kindergartener shoved her hand into the spinach at the salad line in lunch, held it up, and shouted, 'Leafs is for sheep!' before throwing it in the ground in disgust."
8:51 am
MollyL
And yet there is no G
8:51 am
hokie carla
that is funny. I'm sure she got detention or suspension.
8:51 am
hurshy
i don't think they use those with kindergarteners...
8:52 am
hokie carla
I'm sure they do somewhere
8:52 am
hurshy
it said she just got talked to about not wasting food or something
8:55 am
MollyL
Great. Now some parent will complain that their kid was mistreated.
8:56 am
hokie carla
just looked up one of the 8s that was called last night that I couldn't find. never seen it before ever, and the people that found it said they "didn't believe in it", which doesn't make sense to me at all.
8:57 am
hurshy
i take it that would be ho8? have not found it yet
8:58 am
hokie carla
LMK if you want a nudge
9:01 am
hurshy
sure, i'll take a nudge
9:01 am
hokie carla
it's a PT of a 6 that looks like a noun but can apparently be a verb too. noun means tomboy, verb is to be rude.
9:02 am
hurshy
aha! i think i have heard of that ho6 in some old book or other. thanks
9:03 am
hurshy
AND just got the 9! woot!
9:04 am
hokie carla
no prob. thought you might have in an old book. still not sure how one doesn't "believe in it".
9:04 am
hokie carla
I forgot what the 9 is. oh, su? is it under something, or am I barking up the wrong tree?
9:04 am
hurshy
probably a joke meaning that they don't believe the word was ever really in use by anyone?
9:04 am
MollyL
So much of what is said at the flip I don't understand
9:05 am
MollyL
You are barking up the right tree
9:05 am
hokie carla
ok, thx
9:06 am
MollyL
Apparently there is a series of books called The Ho6s of Hyde Park.
9:07 am
hokie carla
I would just assume that's a family name
9:07 am
hokie carla
also, I have tried hyde several times
9:08 am
hurshy
stats for the V?
9:08 am
hokie carla
vo7/48. looked it up last night.
9:09 am
hokie carla
also something I've never heard of but can clue easy enough
9:09 am
hurshy
ok go for it
9:09 am
MollyL
It's not a family name
9:10 am
hokie carla
vo + someone who writes computer programs
9:10 am
hurshy
right i think she was just saying, had she seen that book title, she would have assumed it was a family name, so it wouldn't have taught her that it was a word
9:11 am
hokie carla
exactly
9:12 am
hokie carla
I have 27 left and was about to list because I can't see anything, but then I noticed I have 11 4s left. guess I should work on those.
