Happy New Year to you!

another ke 5 is satan spelled with a k

Congratulations!

we had just over an inch of rain here yesterday - now i understand those "do not cross if flooded" signs. didn't seem like anything could fill those washes, but they were running like rivers and roads were flooded and impassable
yeah.. the desert doesn't handle water well
one heck of a storm - thunder/lightning/wind. was stunning to watch it pass over the mountains
The weather here was wild on Saturday.
I love storms like that.
a couple of friends from home are visiting palm springs - we're going to go see them tomorrow, spend the night in a hotel. daphne's first room service :D
origami, heard that from the bay area children
phantom: retiarii
It was nuts there also. We had wind gusts up to 60 mph and a LOT of rain. Trees are down all over the place here.
holy moly, that's harsh, ori!
it made the news up here, it was unusually bad
I guess you could say that Sacramento turned over a new leaf
Groan!
my first groan of the year !
I'm sure there are many more to come :D

I'm surprised teevee isn't a thing, like emcee
hey nan, still haven't played wordle
that doesn't sound right. haven't yet played wordle today.
I just play the wone at wordle2 -- it is free
the NYT wordle is free
ok -- that is the one. was thinking of the bee -- there are 2 free sites for it
they said when they bought wordle they were keeping it free
so far they have as far as I know
I got it in 4
yes - I had the letters to do that, but guessed the wrong one first this time
I had 3 letters for 2 or 3 guesses and kept guessing wrong
Took me 4 too
I'm almost always a 4, but the last week I've been getting 3's.
just realized I haven't had lunch -- had a late breakfast, but need something!

in what english-speaking world is re rug past tense a word... enable's re words are so idiosyncratic. can't see 'em.
if you are talking about the ma6/24, I think it is referring to what surrounds the picture inside the frame
I'm still missing that lone e in the 2nd col. --- stats please>
i didn't have the root, thanks. i mean the re- intertwine threads, past tense, one. so silly.
agree on that one, should end with en
*different pt that is
et5/18
i've got et 5/18. I think that's the one.

lol - me too
I have de + a sporting event or board __
ty carla

I would never think of it as a word but just tried a bunch of stuff with both prefixes earlier
didn't even think to try that one - ty
is there another de 6/30?
sounded like it but that's the only one I have
nm - found it - change last vowel

well, a LOT of new, weird words today. will I ever remember them? nope.
crazy stuff going on at the bills game
horrible :(
can't imagine what they're thinking in the locker rooms
i can’t imagine what his mother must be going through
so many of these players are so young, have never seen anything like this. i feel for them
I'm old, and have not seen anything like this
there was a pro soccer player in Europe last year that collapsed and had CPR on the field
after a hit? or spontaneously went down?
doesn’t matter. retract, retract.
I think spontaneously went down
can only hope for the best
yes, hoping for the best for this young man
wow these commentators are going out on a limb
telling them to call the game
wow, I made another post that completely disappeared
they’re right. the players, the staff, the people in the stands have been traumatized. i’m sure that some are in shock. i don’t know how the players could be expected to ‘shake’ something like this off
yes - but that's gutsy for him to say that on live tv before goodel has made the call
i applaud their heart
I think they're getting ready to call it.
I think I'm going to go read. See y'all tomorrow.
bye carla
g’night carla
good. the game is suspended.
good night welki - hope to hear good news.
bye, harry.
hello welk
I can't seem to get lickety to come up. it's been weeks. wonder what that is.
Hi mab. I wonder what the issue is. Need to clear a cache or something?
I'm still not 1/2 way on all.. so I haven't listed
don't know. i clear cache several times a day - compulsive. so...
enjoy the grid m9, pretty fun one.
only 24 years old, that player. such a brutal game.
