ty jess - thought that was a proper noun
FWs
OK, did not expect the two ti6s to work.
Really? We've had those before. They always make me laugh.
They are offensive terms for short people. But then everything is offensive these days.
Yeah, now that you mention it, I have seen them before but I often forget what has gone before ;)
I wasn't thinking about short people, it must be said
I can relate, Matty. : D
Randy Newman's song is probably no longer politically correct in our new "cancel culture".
People still have a sense of humour and "cancel culture" is an overused phrase that means nothing.
It's the favourite term of the right - Fox News, especially whilst the same people who love that term also get most upset when people use freedom of speech to criticise them.
Exactly. And who always call for boycotts.
Freedom of speech does not equal freedom from consequences - on either side. What freedom of speech gives you is freedom from prosecution, not freedom from being called an asshole. You can say what you like - I don't have to let you say it in my home.
I am always confused why does the dictionary accept the singular of MA 4/5 but not the plural?
Hmmm...so far every ma4/5 that can be pluraled (has an S in the correct place) has been...
I actually meant the ma 4/5 is okay but not the me 4/5. Sorry for the confusion.
Aaah, gotya. Yep, that IS true
See you later.
*Puts cancel culture on the list of thing you can't say. And by the way, I am about as far from "right" as it gets.
I wasn't talking about you Molly! I had Tucker Carlson in mind ;) And the British actor Lawrence Fox
I didn't think you were Matty. : D I just wanted to make that abundantly clear.
There are so many terms floating around these days. I just learned what "ableist language" was the other day.
It can be difficult - there's no tone of voice in the chog - everyone 'hears' the tone in their own way
Same thing happens in face to face conversation though. Otherwise, we would never have to say "that's not what I meant".
speaking of non-pc, Mrs. Funicello is in the grid
77 to go, nbt! bbl!
may I have a clue for the et7 please
Thanks nm
Clue for the et7 please?
et7 begins with french word for the US + suffix that is used doctors speciality, like pulmonolg***, hematolog***
great clue for unknown word :-D
Tx bubba!!
Isn't that part of a French phrase for the US? Or do they just call it the four-letter word?
hmm, spanish is estados unidos so I guess french is similar
got it!
Etats-Unis
I knew good old Une, the French speaker, would come to the rescue. : D
Bonjour!
May I have stats for the 9, and a comment on whether the word is in reasonably common usage?
no 9 on mine
am I playing the right one? ;)
Sorry, I meant 8
Mea culpa
em8/50
And no, not something that would register in your memory banks
ty molly.....found it....
related to the em5 at all?
Yes Carla
Pen probably uses words like that all the time.
don't think i have actually seen that word before....
i am just a good guesser... ;o)
Then how did you get it so fast? Genius I guess. : D
i had gotten the em 5 and just added the ending...
yeah, I was impressed at the speed of that find
fast typist.... ;o)
I'm still typing and haven't found it
I know, I had barely finished posting the stats
never learned the top row of the keyboard in my typing class, but an emphasis was on speed....
I'm not seeing it either. I wonder if there is more than one em5?
Only one Matty
yes, there is more than one em 5...
oh, I haven't made it 3rd row yet, so I don't know
it's the em 5/14...
I just wonder if I"m using the right em5 (I only have one)
Sorry, I was wrong
maybe that's why I can't get the other em5 to work :D
It's the em5/14
the room is echoing again.... ;o)
Ah hah! Now I have it. Thanks guys
Oh, I give up. Pen is like 50 steps ahead of me at every turn.
yw...
got both, thx
phantom....mandate....
that is a weird word, the em
apparently it is a verb that means the same as the em 5....
the old add extra syllables and letters for no reason. or that was first and we shortened it over time to the 5.
'morning, all
welki!
morning
hi welki, hi TO...
hi
TO!
CARLA!
matty do you have the em 5/6?
I do, yes
A sort of Arabian prince
i was just looking through the chat a little and saw you were talking about am5 that is the one i have
the am 5/12 and the em 5/12 mean the same....alt spellings of an em 4 word that is not in the grid...
i havent found the other em 5 also mentioned
the other em 5 means to edit a text....
there is also an am5/14 same as em5/14, mlfan
the am5 means to make a change, like we've done to our constitution
Wow, this chat is getting confusing and I have all the words you are talking about
i dont have either
i was just thinking the same thing....
perfectly easy to follow
It reminds me of that thing about time and crayons
agree hokie
4th column t stats pls?
wasn't one of the odd couple a neatist?
ti 5/10 and plural...
oops...no.....
nope
Dude(s) who are really into boobs (ti6/21 x 2)
I think it is the two ti6
yes....
too many Ts in a row!
i have ti 5/6
But we have TITT in the grid. : D
yep, those that matty said, thanks.
yes!
yep
arbitrary guy words as usual
ty
Every time words like that are in the grid, my brain starts singing "Tits And Ass" from A Chorus Line.
lol...
i understand that lol
And don't bother sending me to the PB. I am already in there mixing drinks, It's Friday.
i will be back
Which is really called "Dance Ten: Looks Three" but no one refers to it as such.
you did not commit an offense in my book, Molly....;o)
Is it time for McLoons yet Pen?
https://youtu.be/izpj28XLd7k - A cover of Jake Thackray's ''Miss World' song. "Breasts and thighs that hypnotise me, Galvanise me, so agonisingly, But such a size that, not surprisingly, She can hardly move at all."
That just doesn't look right with a picture of the baby next to it.
McLoon's will probably open in mid or late May....
lobster prices are high right now...
They ship through Goldbelly now Pen. Two quarts of lobster stew is $124
how many duhs can I post in a day? duhs not on enable. :D
You are usually good for three or four duhs a day Carla.
usually a one pound lobster is around $8 or $9 this time of year...now it's almost $15, I think....
that's for live lobster...
I shall buy one and call him George and love him and pet him
you'd better keep those rubber bands on his claws if you want to pet him....otherwise, you might lose a finger... ;o)
Don't mind Matty. She got into the beer early today.
And yes, I got the Looney Tunes reference.
I think it's almost 3oclock for matty
i have hit a wall here.....going to take a break...bbl to finish...bye all....
bye pen
43 left after 1st pass
Stuck with 48 left
for the 2nd day, M's are a menace
McLoons is the best! A friend lives just down the street from there. I love the view!
come on, undam is not a word
Would someone please clue the st7?
flower part
ruru!
That did it, thanks
hmmm strange board today.. i've closed out several tiles but have zero on others
I need 5 M's and the rest of the open are 3 or less. have grayed 7 tiles.
still need 1 S on each upper to gray top row
found 2 M's!
now 3 or less on the rest - 26 total
hello again
how was lunch?
delicious
yum
middle row gray!
where's bea so I can tell her I finished that big A?
are the un words common?
I'm sure she is somewhere just DYING to know how you are doing on the grid.
three are
i haven't found the fourth
ty ruru
I also have only 3 U's
i dont have any
the last is us5
funny, I just tried a us5 but alas, not correct. at least I'm on the right track!
Not common
got the un5
US is not common but we have it occasionally
mlfan, you can make that un5 a 6 if you try hard enough. :D
i'd say it's a babblet but then I'd drive someone nuts
knew that already
hehe
maybe I will drive someone nuts by updating my stats - 21 left!
(rolls eyes)..just kidding
phantom ashamed
cannot find the last A in 4th row though
aha
just have to type it in
Is it a phantom though if pretty much all the word is valid except the last letter.
ihave the girl's name
but it's not valid without the last letter
Well, if the word isn't there, it's a phantom
As in it should be a word without the D is what I was trying to say lol I think it came across differently.
well, I tried it like 5 times is how I know it's not valid :D and the D is there, just in the wrong place
You can feel sh5 and you can be sh6 but you can't feel as6
It is ashame it is not accepted. lol
I am so ashame for bringing this up
Haha!
See it is a word!
i thought it was a word lol
No, you are not ashame. It is a shame you said that.
I know, you don't have to convince me!
Shamefully good drinks in the PB for Carla and Zoom
Oh yeah, those two don't drink. *Mixes some Shirley Temples
du 5 clue pls?
I'm not ashamed to take their drinks ;)
I do drink just not often.
ice cream is good
I have occasionally had one drink but would rather eat my calories in dessert
MLF....du + abbreviation for the place where our soldiers fought in the late sixties and early seventies....
thx mlfan, ends in short form of war in 60s/70s
lol
that did it for the D's
finished last column
nice! still have one upper S and 2 R's for last col
1 R
i keep trying dane
17 left!
Dane is there, Mlf.
It is not a valid word but it is there!
thats what i mean i always try it
Are the two Ts easy words or not familiar?
well, they are stupid, that's for sure - end in enable's favorite/not favorite ending to describe males who like something
or do something
We have had them before Zoom
actually means the runt pig
good morning all!
hi Hokie!
hello dolly!
hi zooz
Or the runt of any litter, or a short person
hi mark
nice of you to sing to me Hokie! :)
hi MLF!
:D
She's Dolly, She's Mark. Do we have to refer to her as they? : D
Oh! Yes I got them now. Thank you.
does she have MPD?
nope, it is Dolly, Mark is my hubby and Dolly is his nickname for me :)
Oh please don't tell me that I am hipper than you about something. The new thing is people who feel both male and female wanting to be called they.
yes, I'm aware of pronoun preference
Then why did you ask about Multiple Personality Disorder?
and they isn't really for those who feel both, they just don't want to be referred to by the one
because you said she was Mark and Dolly
Then I think we should come up with a new pronoun. They is confusing. Shim? Sher?
people who want to be they are 2 different people
lol you girls are making me laugh
I think they tried ze or zhe too but that didn't really catch on. I agree I do not like they to refer to one person as it makes reading something very confusing.
and what I meant to say was people who want to be referred to as "they" are NOT 2 different people.
Yeah, I was wondering about that
I bet you are also wondering how many words I have left. :P 15!
Not at all. I figured out that if I keep you talking about something I don't have to read all that.
LOL, I almost posted you are just trying to keep me distracted
Or the T G C P F thing
lol
oh, since you asked... S S M TT N H LL RR SSS R
2 7s left. may have to check the flip.
oh, there's a delicious S6 I hope you have in the PB now. 14 left!
hmm, doesn't look like my missing 7s were called at the flip.
I only have 2 7s :(
there's a vaccine for one
I mix drinks in there. I am not the ice cream man
one is americanized spelling so that might be tripping you up
She was American once
so close to having statement
I know, but she has been british for a while
I have an American spelling on (it7)... and yeah, I'm very mid-Atlantic ;)
ok. I have et7, it7, st7, and te7
It is so amusing how people will make lists in the chat, check the flip, ask for clues but they won't just look at LIckety
OK, I now have three - the it, the st (which I could have sworn I'd entered) and the et
found another te7
I will look eventually
was just giving matty some unasked for help :D
I often do look at Lickety - but it depends on how committed I am to finishing. What gets me is when someone needs a clue so specific (even after a word has been clued more vaugely) that they might as well use morewords (which I do use sometimes)
agreed, I look up stuff all the time
There was one time where I just asked the requester for her email address and just gave her the word (with her permission). I do sometimes have to stop myself from just saying 'it's xxxx, is that enough of a clue?'
Some people would just rather sit back and be clued than make the effort to find something on their own
now have 4x4, 7x5, 1x6, and 1x7. set up better than usual.
yeah, that's fine if you want a clever clue, but if you want a spell it out clue you may as well look it up.
Used to be a "norm" here that you never gave more than the first two letters in your clue. People don't realize that when they clue retool as re + to4 they have given up most of the word
the 8 is pl?
No
no
ty still looking
Another: si7
thanks, une. looking...
can you tell me which S?
Top left
will have to put a pin in that for now, thx
good morning everyone :)
Hey nan!
howdy nan
I just read the definition for that si7 and my brain hurts
do share
Up here it is the name of a company that makes electrical parts -- like circuit breakers and such
Ditto, molly..... not what I expected
well, I KNOW I tried that even though it's a proper noun, but it didn't take. now it did.
Well what do you know. It is the name of a company here too.
ty nan! I was right there and it came to mind right off the bat!
It is not a proper noun. Look at the mind bending definition
well, it is also a proper noun as a company name
I had no idea what they make though
looks like HQ is in Germany
lol - you just haven't built or renoated enough houses, carla
well, 10 left!
They make a lot of medical equipment. I used to work for a General Contractor who built out MRI offices and they installed a lot of Si7 equipment
just for molly - S M T N H LL SS R.
You should start doing those just for Serenity Now. She is our resident bitter one and you made her profile for that. It's a fake name of someone who is too chicken shit to post their bitter stuff with their Babble name.
She usually takes her pot shots at Ru and I, but apparently, you have made her list as well. Congratulations.
oh wow, I had no idea.
I like to do it because I'm hoping someone will take a guess at my missing words. guess I will just muddle along now on my own. hate to make someone bitter and need their serenity.
I wouldn't worry about it Carla.
my first 9 letters would be s's -- don't know what they can be either
well, I don't want how I enjoy the game to infringe on someone else's enjoyment of the game. if they have so little going on that they have to be bitter about a chat on a word game, then I don't want to make it worse.
what do you mean, nan, by your first 9 letters?
If I were to list my missing words -- but just found one more so down to 8 s's now -- along with 61 other words :)
also, when I see something in here that bothers me I usually just click out of the chatterbox.
oh, I see.
tada!!
here for my final 193
Clue for un6/24 please?
action of removing your chapeau?
removes headgear plural
well done dolly!
moo!!
hey hoke...we made it to another Friday!
well, technically nan, it's not a plural for a verb, it's more present tense I guess.
is it friday?
yeah, I got my milk delivered
they're pretty good with remembering the day
LOL
yep - wasn't thinking, carla
moo, I've just been informed that I've made some bitter player's shit list for saying my remaining tiles in the chog
there's a lot of things to get upset about, that would seem pretty low on the list
I know, I don't understand
Carla seriously, don't worry about it. All this person does is bitch, and it's mostly about me. I'm sure she will forget about you in time. And she is SO not worth it.
I'd be happy to post my remaining tiles in solidarity
are you down to 10 yet?
She doesn't even play anymore. She just logs in here to change the bitchy comments in her profile.
74
might be a bit unwieldy right now
SHE never really played.. she plays under another name
true
Think you just gave yourself a starring role in said profile, Molly -- I am sure you are very concerned about that :D
Nan, that person's profile is good for a few laughs. But truth is, she must be a very sad person.
*holding up a picture of a rat's ass*
I enjoy seeing people post how many they have left. Encourages me that other people are struggling... but making progress.
are you giving us a rat's ass ru?
I was wondering what that was Ru. : D
now if anyone asks me the question, I'll have an answer
hi mama!
Even in Babble, misery loves company. : D
hi carla
I just look at all the 4's I'm still missing and wonder why I'm not seeing them
I find if you ignore trolls, they have no power
Back when I used to write on review websites (Ciao and Dooyoo, there was a member called Trueserenity who was a horrible human being. Anything but serene.
how many 4s you have left nan?
I have 3 4's left out of 10 and cannot see where they could possibly be.
At the risk of making a shit list, may I have a wee clue for the TE7s? Just a nudge?
29
remember I said there's a vaccine for one, lockjaw
oh, I'm only slightly ahead of you then nan...26
the other is related
Matty, please remember what Carla said.
smarty :P
And Matty, please come join us on the shit list. We will have t-shirts made
it's possible she missed the post
50 to go
I just watched a video where a woman got attacked by a rabid bobcat in her driveway and her husband went and grabbed it and hurled it through the air
Ooo, I bet he's feeling very studly about that
oh yeah, I saw that one too...wasn't sure what it was tho
it was in NC but I didn't recognize the county so I don't know where
a rabid bobcat will make your commute a bit difficult I'd guess
Thank you!
And I'm good about being on a shit list of someone I don't know, will likely never meet and has absolutely zero influence over my life ;)
you're welcome!
*claps for matty* I feel the same way
I did, of course, look for Serenity Now's profile just out of evil curiosity but can't find it ;)
that's the point matty.. she/he doesn't play.. they only use that identity to bitch and cause trouble.
we're experiencing problems with coyotes in parks attacking people. This world is going crazy with wild animals in populated areas -- not the least of which are gun toting idiots and over zealous police
yeah, I don't really care either. if I was being nasty I would feel bad, but I'm just playing the game. who is she to say how people can play?
I think coyotes are taking over everywhere
we are having coyote problems in SF too nan
I really don't understand people like that. Especially here - we're a bunch of women and men who like word games - many of us are of a certain age and older who just pass the time here - it's not like we're an anti (or pro) vaccine board, or a left or right wing message board, or QANON or a conspiracy theory website
Tx for the te7's!
Nan, you are The Queen of COVID. Don't you know that it has affected the wildlife too? WIth no people around, there is less for them to forage through. So they are moving towards the suburban areas.
Had lots of coyotes several years ago but not now.....so much new construction has destroyed their local nesting areas
I didn't think humans and the garbage the leave behind was their natural diet
Yes.....back when we had lots, they were foraging in restaurant trash bins
coyotes are open season here. they are considered a nuisance. a lot of people on Next Door are like "we took over their land". No, we didn't, they aren't native to NC. They are predators without anything really to prey on them here.
they're good at removing loose kitties
Nan, have you never had raccoons digging through your trash cans?
We always have a couple nesting in the woods next to our golf course. I always thought it was a shame that Canada geese weren't on their list of prey.
agreed, canada geese are a nuisance here in my opinion
I like geese.. they used to stop at our property in Calistoga
we hear coyotes at night around here and have caught some on my game camera
I was always taking a gander at them
We don't have foxes or raccoons but we do get urban foxes.
And red kites (a bird of prey) have really taken off around us. Also, wild parakeets
I've never lived anywhere raccoons are a problem. haven't even ever seen them at a campground, which they are commonly at.
ru, did your dogs like the goose poop? Winston thinks that and rabbit poop are a great delicacy.
We have problems with woodchucks
he was never let off leash there due to rattle snakes
not even sure I'd know a woodchuck if I saw one
So YOU can tell us, bichon, how much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood!
we did a hike last fall and saw 2 rattlesnakes. did not like.
snakes frighten me .. especially poisonous ones
Woodchucks are also known as groundhogs. We have groundhog day in the US
oh, then I know what it looks like
they are also called whistle pigs in some parts of the country
now THAT I didn't know
I just learned that recently. I think it's more of a midwest thing
are woodchucks related to beavers?
or squirrels?
don't think so
or marmots?
it's actually a rodent
I just read they are in the marmot family which is a large ground squirrel, so yes to both those
We have Canadian geese nesting in my office parking lot. It's fun when the babies hatch. (For those of you who like babies) : D
but they are also called land beavers in some places too
there's a joke there somewhere hokie.. I just better not post it
Trigger alert!
for the french canadians in the crowd they are siffleux
I actually have beavers in the creek behind my house
they will clear that land fast, ru!
they are pretty active for sure.. the winery has to deal with them
hey, I still have 10 words left
whatever you do.. Don't list them or offend you-know-who
S M T N H LL SS R, if you want to make any guesses, ru
s in the upper left corner?
si 7 related to the Ohm
upper right and I have 3x4, 6x5, and 1x6
26 left here
and I have the s that rhymes with a certain animal baby
did you take a work break, moo?
actually was doing some things with my daughter for a few
got to get to work and I have company staying for the weekend. Have fun everyone
nice
have a good weekend, ru
we were checking to see if our Terbium and Europium glowed under black light
and?
I do that a lot
it didn't, thinking we might have alloys rather than the pure element
sounds like untrustworthy element salesmen
molly ICYMI (ru is gone)they are collecting all the non-radioactive elements
well, some elements aren't particularly stable, so the only way you can get them is in compound form
Yeah, and that terbium they sell at Walmart is usually sub-par
20 to go
well, I wish I could say I've found more.
18
S E MM TTTTT E AA D NN L S U
em8 pls. hi all
have never heard of terbium -- what is it used for and why would it be sold at walmart?
it's one of the rare earth elements, if you look at the periodic table (or chart) it's in the separate bar at the bottom
As to what it's used for, most of the rare earths are used for high tech things, like phones, lasers etc
help with u too please
ok - so that still means absolutely nothing to me -- why is it sold at walmart -- for what?
it's not sold at walmart
Peri, add consumed to an em5
I doubt that it is sold at Walmart nan.I think Molly was being facetious
The Walmart comment was a joke Nan
ty looking for em5
terbium oxide apparently is used in fluorescent lights
oh I thought someone said the terbium sold at walmart wasn't pure enough
so I guess indirectly it's sold at walmart
I did, it was a joke
who's on first?
What's on second?
What?
ty Molly for em8
I don't know
(third base)
matty, your granddaughter is adorable
You throw the ball to Naturally
help with the u please
take(s) a thing off your head
ty carla
don't get the joke, but that's ok. Back in the dark ages, chemistry wan't a core subject in school and needless to say I chose music as a option over chemistry
music's good too...I would like to spend some time to learn an instrument or two
have to say, I don't play anything anymore and my voice left a long time ago, but still enjoy listening
I wonder if they sell bazookas at Walmart?
well I don't have the voice to start with :)
* and I could still conduct a musical group if needed, for all the good that does!
uh-oh, a joke within a joke
Alas, only the bubble gum and the car speakers
I played flute from 5th -12th grade. Still have it and can play. Can pick out stuff on the piano and can read the upper hand as it's the same as flute. tried learning the fiddle 2 or 3 years ago and could scratch out some basic tunes, but it is super hard.
not sure about bazookas, but they do sell harmonicas and plastic recorders (ugh)
are you thinking of kazoos?
I don't know - MOlly said bazooka - have no idea what that is
Oh man, I need to put my beverage down.
oh my
why is it that words tried earlier aren't accepted until after you list?
for me, it's mostly typos...could be lag too I guess
I also sometimes think I've tried things, but it was yesterday or the day before
normally I would chalk it up to typos but I KNOW I tried that si7 correctly and it didn't take.
I have many words I know i puit in during a go in the morning only to find they have gone when I come back at a later time. Have refreshed before I leave but it still does it.
darn -- I never see that darned goat
that happens to me too zooz, but this is the first time I typed a word that was rejected and then it worked later.
I've seen submission issues with big boards, could also be a problem when there are more people on
is there an RH? can't find that last R in the corner
have to admit, I did forget to refresh before leaving last night
Yes, Hokie.
aha. looking...
that is a babblet that is hard to forget considering the players around here :)
I swear i tried that too after I asked and it said no
*!*~*!* anyone want help?
the em8? itss soooo close to a common word
I think Carla's fingers need a 20,000 mile check up
nm.... found it
add consumed to the word before it, flosey
maybe I need to do some typing practice
Or get the gluten-free cupcake crumbs out of your keyboard
Did you all know Carla was gluten-free?
are you spying on me?
off for the day then -- have a good one everyone :)
adieu
think I might have to use the list
Bye, nan.
i'm leaving early tomorrow am. thank you for the help. flo's boy.
Bye, flosey's boy. Best wishes to your mum.
glad you got to spend time with them
the great thing is..... you can tell her 7 times per day...the same things.... makes her happy 7 times
It's great that she can be happy.
Love to your mom! XXXOOO
Un6/24?
do you have un5?
remove ing a chapeau
Yes
Got it!
so, my upper right S I could not find is a word I definitely tried earlier. so frustrating.
I have 34 left and because I don't feel like properly listing, I suspect I may finish the day on 34ish left
still a job well done, matty
it's a fair run matty
tada. note to self: retype everything at least 3x
still 12 left for me...4 of them are 7s
ah, found a 7
oh, and another 7
there was at least one weird one I got from chat clue
ah, well I just got a couple of lockjaw related ones
S E M TT AA D S U
found the u
my last M was new to me. I assume your 2 T's are the 4th col. I finished all the As on my own, which should tell you something about them.
there was a set of weird D's but if you just need 1, I'm guessing it's an odd 4
T's are in the middle column
do you have the scot veggie?
my last one was another word for sieve that I didn't know we needed
looking thanks
found my last D
ah, there was a word I thought I had typed :)
a's done
I swear I spent 15 minutes last night looking for that TE7, and today it just leapt up out of the screen at me.
hopefully you were wearing safety glasses
LOL
and are vaccinated against it :D
6 to go
S E M TT S
I suspect the E is a 7
Carla just needed to get that vaccinated comment in one more time (we hope)
yep, one last jab
it was a shot that needed to be taken
way to inject some humor here
Oh but you won't be able to stop yourself the next time someone mentions te7
Well at least the reaction was mild
The question is are the anti vaccers refusing the te7 shot?
hey now, let's not needle the antivax crowd
impressive collection of shotty puns here
perhaps they'll go viral
this punning is contagious
My jaw is locked about anyone refusing the te7 vaccine
hate to break it to you but the anti-vaxxers do
for their kids at least, they've all had them when they were kids
Wow, I never saw a pun go sailing that high over someone's head before. Jaw locked/lockjaw
unfortunately, they're immune to the logic
no I got it
Oh, then you were just trying to incite another vaccine debate? : D
did I miss one?
You know how it is, people get preachy about COVID
well, some COVID anti-vaxxers are not regular anti-vaxxers.
COVID is more of a political statement
regular anti-vaxxers moreso span the political spectrum
Silly me, I didn't know there were different camps of people opposed to vaccines.
Is it like a whole Anti-Vaccine Nation with different tribes?
yep, anti-vaxxers on both sides
still 6
Well, as far as the COVID vaccine, everyone do your homework on the FDA and CDC sites and don't believe what you hear people say or post on the interet
Or the internet
well, I'm going to head outside. good luck, moo. will check in later.
tx
"don't believe what you hear people say or post on the internet" is probably a good rule for EVERYTHING.
Is the AT6 a normal word?
mine is...
just saw it, thanks penquis
yw...
It is a good rule for everything. Especially about things that involve your health.
i just got my first vaccine shot!!! *happy dance*
congrats, hurshy. which type did you get?
pfizer
i pfeel pfine
lucky...I hear pfizer's has fewer side effects that the Moderna, which is what I got.
yeah that is what i heard too, esp they said moderna was more likely to give migraines, esp to people who do get migraines already, which is me
my mom had moderna and she did fine tho
migraines are awful. I've only gotten them maybe 5 times in my life, and that was more than enough. My sympathies to you.
My arm was sore with both Moderna shots, and after the second I was a zombie for a day or so.
Should I feel offended that my demonym is not foi´und in the dictionary?
well, some kinds of migraines are worse than others. there are "classic" migraines - where you see auras and all that stuff, and then there are "common" migraines, which don't have those components, which is the kind that i get. it started after i had my tonsils out, so my friend who is a headache specialist doctor said that it probably was from going under the general anesthesia for that
And I come from Denmark. Where is my flag?
it's there, Mother Owl
you might need to refresh your browser
and welcome! :)
I see your flag, motherowl
Yes, thanks. It did the trick. And thanks for the welcome: On my way to bed (local time 22.46) just gave it one more shot. ;) But still not found.
I didn't realize that migraines were a side effect from general anesthesia. Yikes.
not necessarily, joym, nor do i think "side effect" is really the right term for what happened to me.
i'd been given general anesthesia on an earlier occasion to have my wisdom teeth out, and that did not cause a problem. but for some reason, sometimes our brains/nervous systems can misinterpret pain and anti-pain signals in weird ways.
awful
I used to have migraines in my early 20s. I did have about a week of headache after first moderna shot but not migraine and really could've been anything. my brother had a week of bad headaches and a half day of feeling like he had to the flu with Pfizer, so I really don't think any have less or more side effects.
well hokie that's anecdotal. i think as a percentage of all people getting the vaccines, moderna has been said to have more people get side effects.
obviously both have SOME people get SOME side effects
yeh, the evidence, which is by no means complete or clear, seems to indicate more side effects from the 2nd Moderna, but mine weren't too bad.
that's my point. and I haven't seen any evidence of anything that wasn't anectdotal.
i just looked up and found a chart that actually says the opposite, a greater % of pfizer people getting side effects. so i guess i was misinformed!
meanwhile, we got snow on april 16! that was unexpected.
still 6 :)
my other brother had no side effects at all after his 2nd shot. in my internet research I just discovered that women have worse side effects and more autoimmune disease, but I don't remember if they were saying that was related...
come on, moo!
I know right
only 6 words left? i need more than that just for Ms!
I may have been playing this board longer than you hursh :)
yes, mostly likely :D
I did have a word that I had typed not show up hoke...just to join in on the fun
it's catching today
it was cold here this morning, hurshy, but at least no snow!
we got a couple of inches last night
a good part of it is melted now
just realized today is the anniversary of the VT shootings. it snowed on campus that day.
it feels like we get a new one every day :(
:(
I'm about 15 minutes or so away from where the Boulder one was...I went into my local King Soopers the other day, and they had a memorial setup near the front, and it was just so sad
yeah the other day i had to sit through a police officer telling 6th graders what to do if an active shooter situation happens...
Don't get me started on guns...it's crazy the way we let any idiot buy any kind of gun in this country.
still 6 to go
I forgot which ones
S E M TT S
1x4 2x5 1x6 and 2x7
There's an SI7, SE7, and 2 TE7s, moo
ah, then the s's is what I'm missin
well i have one Te7 but i need all the rest of what you just listed!
can't be an se7 tho :)
si7
2nd te is related, hurshy
yes, I kinda knew that one
thanks
i tried sizeist
and sizemen of course
and i thought of our old buddy sienite
I even tried sizetit
of course
I am not confirming or denying I tried that
but I can tell y'all the points too low for the z
BTW, this is the first word I tried and it said not a word but it really was
well i wonder what joy meant instead of se7
st perhaps
ah, but i have that
do you have et7?
ooh i got the si! i only knew that as a proper noun but i put it anyway just in case
oops sorry yes I meant ST not SE
i do not have et7! so that is my last 7
putting everyone out of their misery.....there is an si 7...
LOL, they know
it's good to be sure tho...thx pen
i just peeked at the list... ;o)
heh
ah, got it
we've had it before
5 to go
monkeyed it... ;o)
whatever way works right?
yup....
moo, do you have a delicious dessert?
I had a glass of chocolate milk...is that close enough?
if you mean the 6, then yes
maybe if you froze it and put some things on it
well s done...my last was a 4 there
E M TT 2x5, 1x6 and 1x7
did it rhyme with the actor Paul?
apparently you can't spell tsunami without the T, which is totally unfair
yes
ty, carla...didn't have that one...
which is also a word of couse
or is it tunfair?
LOL, joy, I "saw" that too
tsunfair
me three
you also can't have solar headwear
yeah, that was my last S I think
moo, I told you what the 7 was
was my last s
you probably did
if you can be a boobieboy, I would think you could have solar headgear.
one would think right?
lol hokie
solar headgear is definitely a word. or a band name
what kind of music would they perform?
hot music!
hah
polish death metal. no, that doesn't seem right.
feels flaming lippish to me
there is an M5 that per the def. is a proper noun from mythology
Only 4 words left. Soon I'll have to go back to work. Maybe I'll have a cup of tea first.
make sure you pace yourself joy
I am appliance shopping again. The oven combo I want has been out of stock for months so trying to find something similar.
I would like to get a new cooktop, but I also want to replace my counters
found my last 6
we renovated our kitchen about 6 years ago. It was several months of hell, then bliss afterwards.
we just painted the cabinets but kept the counters, but I want to replace all the appliances
there is an appliance shortage now due to covid-19
yeah I had my cabinets painted a couple of years ago...though they did an amateur job :(
yeah, my garage fridge broke about 2 months into the pandemic
that was an interesting shopping experience
my dishwasher then sprung a leak around October...but ended up fixing that myself rather than get someone come to the house
yeah, amateur job was done here as well. so annoying.
he also got paint all over the cooktop and the oven. little tiny dots that I could scrape away eventually but ain't nobody got time for that
yeah, annoying
I have a more lasting problem...the paint has come off in high traffic spots
we bought our garage fridge in our first house back in '95 and it's still going
I've had a broken cabinet drawer for more than a year now because I don't want the repairman in the kitchen. We've got stuff in boxes on the floor.
I moved the fridge the house came with to the garage...was about 20 years old when it gave up
when they delivered the new one, they left it on the pallet, no installation...it was early on, so they didn't want to do anything
yeah, I did not like having this painter in our house for a week, esp when I heard him having a coughing fit one day.
yikes
yikes
but he was a heavy smoker as evidenced by the butts he left outside, so I'm sure it was related to that
yay
oh, there's my last m
2 to go
there's my last t
now just the 7
7 to go....all M's
marvellous
there are some weird ones, une
indeed
well mainly just the one
if it makes you feel better moo, I've never seen that 7 before in my life
yeah, I figured it was an odd one
which one, the et? that is the one i still need
yes, that one
can i have a clue?
it has 7 letters and starts with et (thanks btw)
well, it's one who believes in state socialism
thanks!
tx
working fire here
what does the 8 start with?
merci beaucoup, carla
i never would've thought to try that in English.
em8
not sure how you all instantly found that. am I the only one here who doesn't know french?
no, but if I was french I would totally have tried it
possibly. haven't you at least heard "l'etat, c'est moi"?
well had to end a particular way hoke
made it easy from there
again, not in English with those words.
basically had 5 of the letters at that point
FW!
I don't know, hurshy.
yay joy!
well done joy! and moo!
congrats joyful one
ty
of etats-'unis
should know that at least :)
well might go and serpent a bit
i should go make dinner.
nope, I said this morning I knew estados unidos so had to work from there
how is it 6pm already seain?
I should make dinner as well
i wondered at the time too!
I can't wait for the days when I don't work and time is irrelevant. Losing track of time is a blissful goal.
it is a nice problem to have....it's been worse during the pandemic because of fewer out-of-the-house engagements....
i am done....
Yay for Pen. I would have been a happy camper not working through COVID. The less I am around people, the better. It was nice to have all the idiots off the road. But they are back now.
Fw!!!
