I keep telling myself it is an optical illusion. Hi freep!

12:08 am

op8: "a grammatical mood that indicates a wish or hope"

12:08 am

42... wow

12:09 am

Interesting - never heard of it.

ty grem would never have found that one!

help with bottom t for nbt please

12:10 am

the op8 sounds like it should come up in convos about Facebook privacy

lol good one freep

ta 6/27

12:12 am

42?/?

12:13 am

It just means it could be a harder puzzle with so few words

12:13 am

exactly

12:13 am

it lures us into a sense of easiness

12:13 am

i am out poof

12:14 am

nope, it's pretty easy

bottom t grem?

12:15 am

I don't think 42 words really *can* be harder than an average 150-ish one, if you use help.

12:15 am

ti6 /24

12:15 am

it kinda is, I just realized I am halfway

ty very much

12:16 am

smaller puzzles can be harder when there a lot of unusual letters creating words that don't look real

12:16 am

late flip -- all aglow from a wonderful gourmet dinner with a good friend in a newly discovered local restaurant.

nbt... no wonder I couldn't see the ti 6 lol

12:16 am

harder per word, maybe, but overall they are almost always quick

12:17 am

true...

12:17 am

smaller puzzles are usually that way because of bad letters, which generally means shorter words, so you're less likely to see rare (for Boggle) words

12:18 am

but they might be rare for common speech - so I guess the smaller puzzles favor the experienced players, who know most of the 4 and 5 letter words anyway

12:19 am

you mean unwords...

12:19 am

~ fire words ~

12:19 am

I had to make a distinction that "uncommon word" can mean different things if you mean as used by people or as found in Boggle grids

12:20 am

"etna" = common in Boggle, uncommon in speech

12:20 am

well done, mel!

12:20 am

fireworks here, too. thanks to the list for the final two 6s for me

12:20 am

phantom renovate

wtg just, mel

12:20 am

yep had to list as well

12:20 am

heck, even renovation

12:21 am

and used morewords for the ti 6

12:21 am

well done too, freep!

12:22 am

well shoot now what am I going to do lol, afk I guess I will make some decaf tea

fireworks

12:23 am

whee, dee, and hi!

12:23 am

I thought I saw a "puddytat" - but it was a phantom and a nonword to boot

ty jili HI!

12:23 am

I have nine left and need a few clues... ai 5/16, fo5/22, no5/16 to start.

12:24 am

hello goose

12:24 am

no5/16 latin plural of no4

12:24 am

a + qu**** of arrows

12:24 am

fo5 uses same last 4 letters as no5, but scrambled

12:25 am

fo + ***l (baby cow)

12:25 am

baby cow meat

I vote for puddytat to be a word nonetheless LOL

12:25 am

me too!!

12:25 am

Tweety Bird was my dad's nickname for me

12:26 am

Thanks M and G...I never would have gotten those.

12:26 am

12:27 am

12:27 am

12:29 am

12:34 am

12:34 am

6/24

12:34 am

pu5 reversed is the last 5 letters

12:34 am

is it a recognisable word?

12:35 am

not a word I would ever use

12:35 am

sounds vulgar

12:35 am

fireworks, none the less

12:35 am

6:02 am

Sleep well, Andree

I am going to go poke dinner now

guess I'll go do the sudoku puzzle

happy babbling everyone

Well I am not even go to do this grid. I am going to go play video games and poke dinner.

6:04 am

I dove in without looking at the total. 42!

6:05 am

good news, scrabs. saw dr and physio today, looked at the mri results. I did rip the ACL and hurt the MCL though didn't rip it. But! MRI shows they are healing perfectly, and I can bend my knee to 60 degrees officially now, and walk around without the brace. Woohooo!

6:06 am

So no complete ACL tear?

6:07 am

MCL injuries are usually strains--unusual to have enough force to tear it.

6:07 am

it wasn't completely torn, badly torn but not in 2 pieces

6:07 am

Get + keep those quadriceps strong.

6:08 am

I am I am :)

6:09 am

it's almost scary to see how shaky the quads are at the moment! But I'm being very good and doing exercises as much as possible

6:09 am

I have ze4 (zilch). The other Z?

6:10 am

That is the huge disadvantage of knee immobilizers---muscle weakness/atrophy + tightening.

6:11 am

oh yes. I'm just very glad I've got the official go ahead to move around more!!

6:12 am

Yes, you will only get better.

6:12 am

yes! am so grateful

6:16 am

At 22/20 I must shower and get to the office. Enjoy the day everyone.

6:18 am

one of the times we were there, Michael Douglas was sitting at the next table :-)

8:11 am

I remember going to a small restaurant on Lexington Ave with a chair and pot of flowers and usually a cat sitting on the chair in the window. It was called Zoe and it was one of my faves. Many Many years ago.

it's lovely to travel alone sometimes and make your own timetable

10:36 am

Too early for roses here yet, but lilacs and laburnums are at theri best

oh, wow, you have got a good time planned. where do you go for sushi?

10:37 am

My husband gave me a lilac for my birthday in April, but it's not doing very well -- was very unhappy in all the cold and rain last month

10:37 am

my nephew said Defune on George St. Do you know it?

no. i've never been to a sushi place, but would love to try it.

10:38 am

the garden is almost entirely shades of pink, rose, salmon, red, violet and blue with a little bit of white for punctuation. If the lilac takes, it will be perfectr

10:39 am

I really miss sushi living here, so far inland

10:39 am

Hi Dan. How is Maggie? 19 days old now? I saw lots of newborns this week and have 2 more this afternoon.

11:50 am

I don't have ti6 yet.

11:51 am

lol,lots of parents were busy when the kids were out trick or treating last halloween it seems;)

11:51 am

yes she is doing great! +3 oz above birth weight at her 2-week well-baby visit, so we are off the hook for waking her up to feed

11:51 am

Yay for Maggie + Mom + Dad!

11:51 am

still less than 8lbs - a lot of our "0-3 month" stuff still doesn't fit her :-)

11:52 am

She will be there soon. Average wt gain in first 6 mo = 1 oz/day.

11:52 am

babies are great!(especially when you can hand them back to the parents when you have had your fill)

11:53 am

they're not so bad when you are the parents either, I've discovered, at least so far

11:53 am

I saw a 1 mo old this AM--she filled her diaper with a messy breastfeeding poop--leaked out of diaper.

11:53 am

11:55 am

my dad on the other hand was 14 lb 1 oz at birth..no wonder grammy liked the other one best lol

11:55 am

You were lucky, Crossy. When you were born premies did not get the quality of care that is now available.

11:55 am

we met, loved and are happy?

yes, you're right, don't mess around wih it

Hello?

Oooh moment to dance Nekkid again in Chat room...

5:01 pm

cover up, red, the walls have eyes.....

hi jbv, slips into a mumu.

5:02 pm

just finished here, but I had to use the list for my last 7

i have 18 left....

5:03 pm

red, here's some good news: mri showed no evidence of osteomyelitis, which we were afraid of, so it's back to sciatica or maybe arthritis or both -

5:03 pm

we could write a book - how you know you're getting old, when arthritis is good news

that is good news. I had a cortisone injection in my left hip for Bursitis?/siatica 2 years ago, have not had a problem with it since.

true...true...

5:04 pm

glad to hear the cortisone worked for you - hubby has had those - he had a bad reaction to one, two or three more did not relieve pain

5:04 pm

any body know what "brig g'bye" so I can get the op8

Weiik she meant the British GoodBye.

I think the cortisone is one of those things, has to be put in just right and then has to sit right. I felt pretty bad afterwards it swelled up like crazy btu then have had no problems.

5:06 pm

thxks red

welcome weiik.

it's actually british slang for 'thank you' not for 'goodbye'

yes, I was thinking that, but the cluer said British Goodbye...

5:07 pm

I'm not versed well in british slang, but, that I've heard

I know red - I'll put that naughty cluer over my knee when I catch up with them

getting our colloquialisms mixed up :/

Well, at least weiik got the wrod...

du

5:12 pm

yes red I did get op + I like french fried po***os + coopera**** clue

5:21 pm

helllo all

5:21 pm

Aha, nephew is home--bad sunburn from being greased pig on beach yest.

8:42 pm

poor nephew

8:45 pm

He fell asleep on the beach, without sunscreen on--bright red abdomen, chest + face. No blisters though.

8:45 pm

This is a memorable consequence.

8:46 pm

no blisters is a good thing! (my redheaded bro experienced that once as a youngster; t'wasn't pretty)

8:46 pm

Oh, I bet, scrabs!

8:46 pm

I recall blistering sunburns as a kid--no sunscreen in those days.

8:46 pm

dumb dumb dumb

8:47 pm

why do teenagers still think they can burn

8:48 pm

He's a 22 yr old male, went to the beach with his girlfriend, applied "tanning oil" and both got sunburned. Dopes.

He skipped his summer college course this morning because of pain (and he couldn't sleep) but he did work an 8 hr shift at Lowe's.

8:49 pm

I have a friend that always says she "needs" to get that initial burn.

8:51 pm

Alright, must do laundry for the poor boy and then get to bed. Kayaking adventure tomorrow! I got my kayak on top of my car already.

8:51 pm

Bye all!

8:51 pm

8:51 pm

is there really such a thing as "base burn" (I mean, yes, I was stupid once upon a time and strived to aquire the summer season base burn)

8:52 pm

take care, scrabs

8:52 pm

It's crazy, Pini, and damaging to skin, as we know.

8:53 pm

fortunately, I failed annually

8:53 pm

<-- don't handle hot weather well

8:54 pm

that burn is the strongest predictor of melenoma... not tanning, the burn

8:55 pm

Go, Gwen!!!

9:56 pm

Thanks for the encouragement, Pini, Min and Jellen

9:56 pm

You probably don't need a story of clues with such a ti4/6 grid. However,I have ze4/9 words left and feel compelled to do a story anyway. Once up4/6 a time, there was a person who was addicted to Babble. She would spend an ae4/4 amount of time playing Babble. She would sit at the computer and po 4/5 at the grid for hours.She gets a little nu5/16 if she does not get to babble. Sometimes the game ta5/10 her priorities and chores are often neglected. For the hard grids, she rounds up her monkeys with her re 5/10 & puts them to work. Sometimes the monkeys type madly in va4/7 to find a word & then never gets it.She bakes treats in the ov 4/7 for her monkeys if they help her finish a grid.If her monkeys help her finish a very big grid, she takes them in he land ro 5/16, which has ti 4/4ed windows,to the local ta6/27 to drink with the other monkeys. Now my story is ov 4/7. Now I have to clean up the kitchen and make it ne4/4.Goodnight

9:57 pm

Nef, was able to do the grid in under an hour at work

11:30 pm

Pini: cool - which one?

11:30 pm

11:30 pm

when we were traveling once, my dad had to go back and pick up my bro who he saw waving to us in the rearview mirror...suffice it to say, dad began taking a head count before putting the car in gear!

11:30 pm

the easy ones, grem!!!

11:30 pm

Heheh.

11:31 pm

Pini: it's a collaborative site, so not all of them are mine (just 3 of them).

11:31 pm

well, I played one that had a cliff, a key, a stone, troll, and cave...

11:31 pm

Yeah, that's the Trainer and isn't mine. (Mine are the hardest ones.)

11:32 pm

oh, great...well I'll have to WORK up to yours, grem!

11:34 pm

Probably "nef" being in the grid helped.

11:35 pm

grem; I never caught that til now!

11:35 pm

Pini: cool. I actually didn't play them much in the old days (got stuck too easily) - it wasn't until I found the very ones on that site that existed at the time that I got interested in writing them.
