FWs...last word sq 6/30

5:20 am

worzel

I am NOT enjoying this grid

5:24 am

ChampFit

WITH YOU on that! That hi5? What on earth? Good grief!

5:24 am

worzel

Ah Champ, don't even get me started on the U's - I haven't got one of them yet!

5:29 am

ChampFit

I just started, so on the second column. I went down the first one, now working up the second one. Already annoyed!

5:35 am

Scrabbler

I am prepared to be annoyed.

5:35 am

ChampFit

Please, join us! :)

5:38 am

worzel

Join us? No, Scrab, run for your life!

5:38 am

ChampFit

Bwaahahahhahaa!

5:38 am

worzel

And I'll bet you any money there's probably players today that have come on and done the entire grid in less than 10 minutes haha

5:38 am

ChampFit

You know that's right!

5:40 am

worzel

What annoys me is that I got a degree in English language and English literature and some of these words go right over my head when I find them

5:42 am

Scrabbler

I am not yet annoyed.

5:42 am

ChampFit

It all looks different in a grid. I'm especially blind to words that go left.

5:42 am

ChampFit

Let me know when you get there, scrabs.

5:42 am

worzel

I'm blind to E words

5:42 am

Scrabbler

I shall.

5:52 am

MollyL

I don't know why anyone who can finish these grids in 10 minutes finds this game challenging.

5:53 am

ChampFit

Maybe they just want to stay on top of their game? Even when it's "easy", it's good for your brain. Hopefully. ;)

6:05 am

Scrabbler

I have reached the point of annoyance with 84 left.

6:05 am

ChampFit

Welcome!

6:06 am

MollyL

I reached the annoyed state with Champ about the hi5

6:07 am

ChampFit

SERIOUSLY! Notice that there isn't an ri6? If you're going to take one, you should take the other.

6:07 am

Sugrraleona

its takes hi5 but not diaried? I always thought diaried was a word LOL LOL

6:08 am

ChampFit

Agreed!

6:09 am

ChampFit

BBL for my last 28. Still don't have the 8. Good luck all!

6:10 am

MollyL

It makes more sense as a word than hi5 (which would get a big red X from an English teacher)

6:10 am

MollyL

The 8 will annoy you too

6:10 am

Sugrraleona

agreed LOL

6:11 am

Scrabbler

Off to work. Enjoy the grid.

8:34 am

BzznBea

there are a lot of weird pt words

8:34 am

hokie carla

well, it started out good, then the next tile I did I could only find 1 word

8:37 am

BzznBea

ru, what are you doing differently?

8:37 am

hokie carla

if it's jumping all over the place, I'm doing that too

8:38 am

rururocks

i'm putting in words everywhere.. I usually go tile by tile until I can't find anything else on it.

8:45 am

phaeton

hello...may I have a clue for the mi6 pls

8:47 am

penquis

sorry, don't have it...

8:47 am

rururocks

8:52 am

hokie carla

I know groomers will tell you demat is too a word

BzznBea

8:53 am

MollyL

Charlie has been waiting for his so long, he probably wears it on the toilet

8:57 am

hokie carla

9:11 am

phaeton

9:11 am

hokie carla

got the 5 finally

9:11 am

BzznBea

uses the double letter tile, phae

9:11 am

hokie carla

looks kinda like an alt sp of a movie theater sign without an r, phae

9:11 am

penquis

the MA 5 is like the DS9 resistance group minus the last letter...

9:12 am

BzznBea

that di5 is what people around these parts call their father.

9:12 am

hokie carla

LOL, pen dropping ST(?) clues

9:12 am

penquis

i have been to many a convention... ;oD

9:13 am

hokie carla

kyle petty calls richard that, but I always imagined it spelled differently

9:13 am

penquis

the dictionary says the DI 5 refers to a diaper....

9:13 am

phaeton

ty carla...that clue did it...FW

9:13 am

hokie carla

(di5)

9:13 am

BzznBea

9:14 am

hokie carla

now 3

9:14 am

hokie carla

oh, that one had a plural. HOET!

9:15 am

penquis

found a fourth....it's what my niece calls her grandmother...

9:15 am

hokie carla

and there's an alt sp of a GOTW character

9:15 am

rururocks

GOTW?

9:17 am

penquis

perhaps she meant GWTW....Gone with the Wind?

9:18 am

hokie carla

yes, typo

9:18 am

hokie carla

gone on the wind

9:18 am

Babolat Pure Drive 107....

9:20 am

penquis

it's slightly bigger than the Pure Drive....gives me a bigger playing surface....

9:20 am

hokie carla

ok, yeah, I tried that one years ago and it didn't go well, so will stay away.

9:20 am

penquis

'it's very lightweight and balanced...

9:20 am

hokie carla

I'm guessing it has 107sq in head?

9:21 am

penquis

yes..

9:21 am

hokie carla

my current one is either 100 or 102

9:21 am

MollyL

Sounds like the name of erectile dysfunction medicine

9:21 am

penquis

tennis companies online will let you order a few rackets for a few bucks apiece to try out....at least they used to...haven't checked lately...

9:21 am

hokie carla

pure drive?

9:22 am

hokie carla

yeah, I've been looking at tennis express.

9:22 am

ChampFit

Got the ma and the di from your clues...thanks!

9:23 am

rururocks

that would be hard drive instead of pure drive wouldn't it molly ?

9:23 am

BzznBea

HOET and 28 left...need a break

9:23 am

hokie carla

definitely have not found any shops around here. I demoed one from our club the other day, but they do dunlop. it was okay, but my elbow did hurt a little more with serving, so I'll look for some other arm-friendly ones.

the sound tracks from a variety of animated movies

9:32 am

72 Temple Owl

imagine dragons. the soundtrack to one of the hardest bodypump classes ever

9:33 am

hokie carla

lol. btw, I have les mills on demand, but they don't use the actual music like they do in the classes, they use covers.

9:33 am

72 Temple Owl

fest had ajr last night.

9:33 am

72 Temple Owl

hokie, i really like body balance

9:34 am

moolingwa

9:34 am

hokie carla

and they are in NZ so you really have to pay attention to what they're saying

9:34 am

moolingwa

Owl City, but because they have sound tracks on a couple of movies

9:34 am

moolingwa

whit do you min?

9:35 am

hokie carla

I have not tried that one, TO. I like pump, combat. there's one I can't think of that's like athletic conditioning.

9:35 am

72 Temple Owl

as i remember that imagine dragons was either a bar or a bi/tricep sequence

9:35 am

72 Temple Owl

yes, sia

9:36 am

72 Temple Owl

i will try barre later. i did pump sunday, and i felt it. first time in three years

9:36 am

hokie carla

I also like body step. I go to my gym when the workout room is empty and they have all the equipment. I set my laptop up on a chair.

9:37 am

hokie carla

but years ago in charlotte, I went to a gym that had les mills classes, so that's where I first did them.

9:37 am

72 Temple Owl

interesting. don't they give les mills in person?

9:37 am

72 Temple Owl

the y does. but it

9:38 am

hokie carla

this is my neighborhood wellness center. they only have one or two classes a day and they are more geared toward older people.

9:38 am

72 Temple Owl

is fest time and i am focused on that

9:39 am

72 Temple Owl

they tried to get me in the senior classes. i refuse.

9:39 am

72 Temple Owl

not time for that.

9:39 am

hokie carla

I might break down and do water aerobics. LOL.

9:40 am

72 Temple Owl

i do not like the water. however, for fast results and a lean body, can't beat it

9:41 am

hokie carla

really? I like the water but can't really swim laps, so I probably should try it.

9:42 am

72 Temple Owl
