12:19 pm

hokie carla

we just had our clay courts resurfaced over the last week. I saw the courts at 9 last night when I drove by and they were drenched, not sure if they watered them late or what. mr. homie said it didn't rain.

12:23 pm

hokie carla

I might've told you this already...we have a special event this sat - woods & whites, where you wear all white and use wood racquets. I have 4 and they probably all have original strings. I'm sure my elbow is about to be trashed. they are very heavy.

12:27 pm

moolingwa

that does sound rough :)

12:28 pm

hokie carla

the heads are tiny too

12:28 pm

moolingwa

those tiny heads...

12:28 pm

hokie carla

lol, are you trying to somehow draw ruru out?

12:29 pm

moolingwa

I don't think you need me to draw him out...

12:30 pm

hokie carla

still need 7H and 6 upper A. everything else is <=4

12:30 pm

moolingwa

I need 6 S, R, T, H and 7 S

12:31 pm

moolingwa

I've been just going after my biggest remaining tiles

12:32 pm

moolingwa

12:34 pm

penquis

Sorry, got distracted....our courts are supposed to be resurfaced soon, too....your woods and whites sound fun, but i don't envy you playing with your wooden racket...i still have my old Chris Evert wooden racket somewhere....

12:36 pm

moolingwa

5OFOET

12:37 pm

hokie carla

one of mine is a chris evert. it's the newest one I have, bought it a few years ago at an estate sale. the other 3 I have were my dad's.

12:37 pm

penquis

bought mine in the late 70's... ;o)

12:38 pm

12:46 pm

Trifioso

12:48 pm

moolingwa

I had never heard of her...seems like that's a story that should have been told more prominently

12:48 pm

Trifioso

oh how sad! two horrible things in her life!

12:48 pm

Trifioso

she really was a tremendous player

12:49 pm

moolingwa

and to think she did all that by the time she was 20

12:49 pm

Trifioso

it is really remarkable

12:51 pm

penquis

Imagine how many slams she would have won if she had continued playingâ€¦.

12:51 pm

moolingwa

Or whatever else she might have done, had she lived longer

12:52 pm

penquis

Trueâ€¦

12:54 pm

hokie carla

how does someone hit a horse with their truck?

12:57 pm

moolingwa

probably texting and driving

12:58 pm

BzznBea

lol

12:59 pm

penquis

There was a documentary about Maureen but it doesnâ€™t seem to be available to streamâ€¦.

1:00 pm

hokie carla

1:18 pm

hokie carla

1:18 pm

BzznBea

4:00 pm

hurshy

*tries to look like she knows what that means*

4:00 pm

hokie carla

I hate it when there's a tile like the R with 32 words and I have 31 all day and my missing one was a 4.

4:01 pm

hurshy

i've got 31 also! wonder if i have missed the same 4

4:02 pm

hokie carla

re4/5

4:02 pm

hokie carla

and then there's a word like the s6 that I miss every single time so now I know immediately when I see the list that it's there without even checking.

4:03 pm

hurshy

you mean the evening party?

4:04 pm

hokie carla

no, bristly

4:04 pm

hokie carla

6:36 pm

penquis

Bye, harryâ€¦

6:36 pm

MollyL

Oh God, baby bunny killers

6:38 pm

penquis

Another storyâ€¦.we had a pet bunny named Twitchy when I as a kidâ€¦.he escaped and the whole neighborhood was looking for himâ€¦. Our oversized German shepherd (the sweetest dog) found him for usâ€¦.unfortunately he brought him to us in his mouthâ€¦..that was the end of Twitchyâ€¦.

6:40 pm

MollyL

Yeah, sweet dog

6:40 pm

penquis

he was....very wise dog....great with all kids....

6:41 pm

MollyL

But not baby animals

6:42 pm

penquis

i think he thought he was helping us....i believe the bunny died of fright...

6:44 pm

MollyL

Seriously, he showed up with the baby bunny in his mouth and it died of fright?

6:44 pm

penquis

it wasn't a baby bunny....

6:45 pm

penquis

he had no marks on him....

7:57 pm

nrkii

Our dog chased our escaped bunnies and they died of fright.

7:57 pm

nrkii

Apparently bunnies have heart attacks.

7:57 pm

penquis

makes sense then....

7:58 pm

hurshy

i mean, in general, animals that procreate copiously tend to be less tough than animals that don't

7:58 pm

hurshy

part of the whole evolutionary thing

7:58 pm

penquis

ah, ok...

7:59 pm

hurshy

evolution goes "if we don't make a lot of these things at a time, they're never going to make it as a species"

8:00 pm

hurshy

of course with panda bears they could do with a bit more copiousness

8:01 pm

hurshy

despite being bears

8:02 pm

hurshy

but like fish, man, they'll lay what, hundreds? thousands? of eggs? hence caviar

8:02 pm

penquis

anyone have the first an 6?

8:03 pm

hurshy

yeah it's that weird babblet that looks almost like you plural a 5 (although you can't make the five in this grid) by adding the S not last but next-to-last

8:04 pm

penquis

hmmm....

8:05 pm

hurshy

the five is one of tolkein's tree creatures... ** ***

8:05 pm

penquis

ah yes....ty....

8:10 pm

penquis

how about the second th 6/24?

8:11 pm

hurshy

what you do to wheat to separate the grain from the husk

8:12 pm

penquis

ty...forgot about that H on the left...

8:12 pm

penquis

i am done....

my 10x10 squaredle stats working on/off for a day: 826/890 (+1035), remaining: 0-0-7-14-11-9-8-5-1-1-0-2-1-2-1-0-2 (have two co20s so far)

9:36 pm

hokie carla

which one is that, grem? the gemstones or a different one?

9:36 pm

hokie carla

nope, just clicked on it, it's only 245

9:37 pm

gremlinn

The one that says "Abandon all hope" on the button to start it

9:37 pm

gremlinn

Looks like the gemstone is the one after it

9:40 pm

hokie carla

I started the gemstones. and I'm randomly typing gemstones without even looking for them.ðŸ¤£

9:42 pm

gremlinn

That one has 888 normal words to find, just about the same.

9:42 pm

gremlinn

Good strategy!

9:43 pm

gremlinn

The one I'm on has almost all letters, just missing F and M. Not sure why they didn't just go for it all when they were so close.

9:49 pm

gremlinn

wait, I got tricked earlier - it gave me a popup about the gemstones puzzle right when I clicked the second 10x10, so I was thinking that was the gemstones one

9:50 pm

gremlinn

now I'm actually on it, the one with gaps in it

9:51 pm

gremlinn

gaps should make this much easier
