bl

8:04 am

mkg

i also have to clear the car off. and i agree about ice. but it is a pretty world with snow and without it is grey and depressing. snow makes me feel happier.

8:06 am

mael

snow is the best

8:06 am

mael

ice is the worst

8:06 am

rururocks

ice is good for cocktails

8:06 am

governess

snow makes everything brighter and lighter

8:07 am

mkg

i grew up in connecticut and from mid december to end of march we had snow and having snow on the ground was always pretty. Much prettier than without snow. but life was different. along our roads there was sand and dirt in barrels so if you got stuck you threw the sad or dirt and you could continue to drive. every hill had a barrel on side for use if you got stuck. it had a shovel in it. and no one stole the shovels either. the town did this to help us all out.

8:08 am

mkg

life was much much nicer in the 1950s

8:08 am

hokie carla

is the single N a weird word or just hiding from me

8:09 am

mael

for some people, yeah. for others it was much much worse in the 1950s

8:09 am

mkg

true. for blacks life was much worse.

8:10 am

mkg

hiding. what holds up your head carla?

8:10 am

mael

and let's just say I love the medical advancements in the last 70 years :)

8:11 am

mkg

ahh so true. if you got cancer, you were gone in the 50s. there were no survivors.

8:11 am

hokie carla

well, my mom didn't have running water (and had an outhouse) and lived in a 2 room house with 6 other people and went to a 2 room school in the 50s.

8:12 am

mael

my poor aunt's baby died of rotavirus at 15 months old, which is now part of our routine vax

8:13 am

mkg

wow carla. where was that? actually in 1969, i lived upstate NY and many had outhouses and no water. so yes, it was not as pleasant a life.

8:13 am

mael

my mom had just survived abject poverty and war in Italy, yeah. My dad almost got drafted by the germans but he was 6 months too young by the end of the war

8:13 am

mkg

mael, i dont know what rotavirus is.

8:14 am

mael

it causes severe diarrhea and kids can die if they get too dehydrated

8:14 am

hokie carla

mkg, it was in southwest virginia right at the tennessee border. and they didn't get electricity until 1948.

8:15 am

mkg

carla that is amazing. but life was so so different. wow. was it in the mountains or in a city?

8:16 am

hokie carla

in the mountains

8:17 am

mkg

we had electricity, but no air conditioning. i remember there was a department store whose name i cant recall, and there were huge fans in the ceilings which moved the hot air in the summers. i also remember that there was a system of forced air that took your money and receipt to a cashier somewhere and returned your change to you.......life was so different. also remember elevators with metal doors that opened and shut? and the entire elevator was metal and you could see yourself going up and down. very different.

8:18 am

hokie carla

what's crazy is like an hour away is biltmore house, that had electricity in 1898, 50 years before they got it. ðŸ’°

8:18 am

mkg

Carla was it appalatia? my father loved the people from there. said they were so smart.

8:19 am

hokie carla

yep, appalachia. and my dad hated movies like deliverance that portrayed appalachians as dumb hillbillies.

8:20 am

rururocks

but there are some dumb hillbillies there no?

8:20 am

hokie carla

and he was right, and it still goes on today in movies and TV

8:20 am

hokie carla

of course, just like there are dumb people everywhere in this country (and multiplying)

8:20 am

mael

I spent my summers in the mountain shack my grandpa built to graze his cows and we didn't have running water or electricity, just an outhouse (that was full of scorpions so we just went in the woods instead haha)> Oil lamps at night and we had to walk to the fountain a half mile away to get water.

There's a beauty to it, or at least there was for me when I was a kid, but it would have been brutal year round

8:21 am

hokie carla

ooh, scorpions

8:21 am

mkg

mael, scorpions???????/ugh!

8:22 am

hokie carla

yeah, no way would I want to go use an outhouse in the middle of the night in winter

8:22 am

mael

teeny ones, but scorpions none the less. Nothing worse than having one of those run over your shoe when you're on the toilet

8:22 am

mkg

i went to girl scout camp with outhouses. there were bees in it and one girl got bitten! then they called an exterminator but after she was bitten we were all afraid to use it.

8:23 am

mkg

ugh......scorpions.........ugh

8:23 am

hokie carla

I also went to girl scout camp with outhouses be for some reason they were called latrines.

8:23 am

mael

same thing right?

8:23 am

rururocks

what state was that mael?

8:23 am

hokie carla

yep

8:23 am

mael

Italy :)

8:23 am

mkg

life was sure different. waxed paper was used for sandwiches. it was a huge advance when they developed wax paper bags to put your sandwich in.

8:24 am

mael

in the dolomites, near Austria

8:24 am

mkg

i hate the use of plastic wrap and alum foil.

8:24 am

mkg

sounds nice mael.

8:24 am

hokie carla

apparently we have 2 types of scorpions here in SC. one of my neighbors was saying she kept finding them in her house and google confirmed it.

8:25 am

mael

eeek

8:25 am

mael

I'm pretty sure we don't have any here in MA

8:25 am

mkg

i keep remembering that the insects will inherit the world one day. they certainly are hartier than humans.

8:25 am

hokie carla

ooh, found an 8 and then noticed it was my 2nd 8

8:25 am

rururocks

scorpions in italy wow

8:26 am

mkg

mael are you a native of italy?

8:26 am

mael

yeah

8:26 am

mael

I moved to the US for college and stayed

8:26 am

mkg

have to focus on getting more words. but pretty stuck.

8:26 am

mkg

off for now. enjoy the beauty of the snow if you can.

8:26 am

rururocks

oh.

8:27 am

hokie carla

this is why mael's super word nerddom is even more impressive, it's her second language.

8:27 am

hokie carla

bye mkg

8:27 am

mael

bye mkg!

8:28 am

mkg

back later or tomorrow.

8:28 am

mael

knowing Italian is a huge advantage when it comes to the Latin based words, since they are very similar :)

8:30 am

hokie carla

I'm sure you see the latin plurals better too

8:31 am

mael

I wish it would snow here but it's just temps in the teens for the rest of the weekend

8:31 am

mael

yep, the only disadvantage is that I see all the italian words that aren't words for enable haha

8:32 am

hokie carla

ha

8:32 am

rururocks

for a lot of players hokie english isn't a first language

8:33 am

hokie carla

ruru, I told you my first language is appalachian english

8:33 am

rururocks

is there such a thing?

8:33 am

hokie carla

yes

8:33 am

rururocks

oh.. didn't know that

8:34 am

hokie carla

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appalach\nian_English

8:34 am

hokie carla

argh, thought for sure that was short enough to not break the chat

8:34 am

bichon

my first language was Brooklynese. When I first moved to CT, age 26, I slowly lost New Yorkese

8:34 am

hokie carla

per usual, remove the \n from that link

8:35 am

rururocks

my first language was greek as a kid, then learned english in school

8:36 am

hokie carla

was it all greek to you?

8:36 am

rururocks

yup

8:38 am

mael

I think it's awesome how flexible our brains are

8:39 am

hokie carla

8:42 am

mael

8:42 am

hokie carla

yeah, first pass not going great for me

8:42 am

hokie carla

also, I couldn't see anything in connections

8:43 am

mael

haven't done connections yet but got wordle in 2 today, lucky

8:44 am

hokie carla

I thought I had wordle in 2 until the reveal got to the last letter. 2nd day in a row I was one off on 2nd guess.

8:44 am

mael

was off 1 on my second guess yesterday, but also my 3rd and 4th haha

8:45 am

mael

ended up in a hole

8:45 am

hokie carla

that's the worst

8:46 am

ChampFit

I feel your pain!

8:46 am

hokie carla

oh, finally saw that single N. geez.

8:47 am

hokie carla

and now I get that mkg was cluing it. ðŸ¤£ thought she was just calling me weird.

8:47 am

rururocks

well you are a bit weird, but you're our weirdo

8:48 am

hokie carla

8:50 am

mael

9:27 am

mael

9:27 am

moolingwa

I believe it was a question, rather than a statement

9:28 am

phaeton

hokie carla

I managed to find the la6 but never seen it before

9:37 am

mael

9:37 am

72 Temple Owl

9:37 am

hokie carla

whew, don't overdo it, TO

9:38 am

72 Temple Owl

the snow or the movie?

9:38 am

hokie carla

9:39 am

hokie carla

the snow shoveling!

9:39 am

72 Temple Owl

snow is very light want to get it before it packs becuase it's well below freezing and will freeze

9:39 am

9:40 am

72 Temple Owl

9:40 am

hokie carla

97 years old

9:41 am

9:42 am

72 Temple Owl

i am wondering if godiva will go well with hot cocoa.

9:42 am

moolingwa

It was meant as satirical mael, to push boundaries of prejudice in a comedic way, but definitely a bit awkward now

9:43 am

hokie carla

I bet mel brooks is the only one in it that is still alive

9:43 am

periwinkle

hi all.help with la8 please

9:43 am

hokie carla

good morning from snowy paradise. Mother Nature doesn't seem to know that Christmas is over and it's time to thaw out.

10:20 am

hurshy

mother nature's been doing what she wants since long before christmas existed, lol

10:21 am

Shellbell_o-well

good one, hurshy! adding that one to my dictionary of shell-bell

10:21 am

hurshy

the pun you mean?

10:22 am

Shellbell_o-well

Yes

10:22 am

hurshy

cool :)

10:25 am

Kaplan the Magne

This is not Mother Nature. This is Climate Change. Wickedstepmother nature?

10:26 am

Kaplan the Magne

nurt

10:27 am

hurshy

snow and cold in january is normal in the northern US and canada...

10:27 am

hurshy

if it were thawing out already that would be a far more concerning climate change symptom!

10:30 am

Kaplan the Magne

Last year Boston had no snow. The pattern has shifted fro snow in November and December to snow Lin mid-january or later. No snow at all in December. This is not normal. It's been shifting every year, and the wildlife in urban areas is also shifting. Coyotes, turkeys, rabbits...it used to be just squirrels.

10:31 am

hurshy

given that overall things are different and changing, i still say for it to be cold on January 19th is normal.

10:31 am

Kaplan the Magne

Back in the day there was something called a January thaw, which was a break from October -January snowfall, before proceeding into the rest of winter. That was in the Adirondacks.

10:32 am

Kaplan the Magne

Yes the cold is normal, and the warmth in December was not.

10:32 am

Kaplan the Magne

It comes later every year.

10:33 am

hurshy

i think all nan was saying was perhaps a common human wish for snow for christmas and then feeling done with winter and wanting spring to come... lol

10:33 am

hurshy

and then we go all off on a tangent
