interesting that you could be go 6, but not by one who
Well, more like the animal, I guess?
not that one - the pt
yes - realized that just after posting
It seems like gorm ought to be a word, since gormless is

Not a word

Sorry!
me too - already had them !
nbt, nbs, hoet - time for bed - good night everyone :)
FWs...last word di 6/36, feel like an idiot....LOL
"He sa--, she sa--" has a plural? okay
Apparently it is the plural of a variant spelling of the Arabic word sayid
hello all
hey all!
hi mael
hey lindy
how's it going? pouring rain here today and 34 degrees, so that's fun
cloudy, still, and 34 degrees. tomorrow, snowstorm with 2 - 10" of snow or more, depending who you ask.
Yeah, right. Use sw8 in a sentence. Any sentence you make would get a big red circle from an English teacher.
I dunno, I feel okay about it? if wo7 is a word, then... :)
I just sat down here and the first words I saw were sw6/8 without even knowing to look.
it does run along the grid quite nicely :)
right at eye level
yep
PSA - our favorite ham product/junk email now works
that was quite the day!
I will never figure out how Dr. God just randomly decides to add certain words
:O
I know. that one's a weird case.
top row grey!
And he has opened himself up to a lot of requests. Especially from the easily offended who want words removed.
plus, there's a million tech related words like the sp4 that could be added, such as internet.
eh but sp4 was always weird
because it didn't say the word wasn't accepted, it said it didn't exist in the grid, even when it was there
yeah, it was weird that he tried to add it but it didn't work right
you could say it was a mi7
lol
He was probably missing some code for the board that would make it take the word and not say it wasn't in the grid. Coding is complicated.
I guess you could,.thanks. might have tried that in desperation tonight.
good morning to you all!
hi Hokie!
hello dolly!
It is strange to me that people want words removed. This is a word game. Go clutch your pearls some place else 😀
hey there
there are plenty of words I'd like to see removed, mainly the ones that haven't been spoken aloud in 120 years or so
lol
no one needs a variant spelling of some weird hat the Victorians encountered in their travels
yeah, anything that says "archaic"
Thank you Origami. I so very much agree.
and yeah, those freaking variant spellings that have never been used
I used to play a word game that must have been run by pearl clutches. Nothing, I mean nothing, off-color in the slightest was allowed. Not even fart.
*Pearl clutchers
yeah, I play a phone one called whirly-word that is like that
i do recommend squaredle, which accepts "normal" words and "weird" words on two different tiers, weird ones being "bonus"
I feel like it must be aimed at kids
Ha! Kids love the word fart.
my kids prefer "toot"
because they think trumpeting butts are funnier
as someone who raised two boys, I agree
woot! grayed the H on first try.
Toot is a girl thing. Boys would never use toot over fart.
yep, the H is satisfying!
I asked my son what was so funny about farts. He said "It makes a funny noise, it smells bad and it comes out of your butt." Boys!
my son loves to say too
toot
Oh sorry mael, I thought you had girls.
and my girl like potty humor more than he does, hah
hello...may I have the stats for the bottom i pls
I've got one each, they're a riot
I swear I remember a picture of two girls you had as an icon once. Or did your son have long hair at one time?
iw4
iw4/8 babblet
ty
he had long hair, yes. I am so sad I cut it because his curls never came back
my son likes to say "booty-toot"
he used to wear it in a bun
he still doesn't like it shorter but he won't let me tie it out of his face so he can, you know, see. So bangs it is
hmm, the R isn't going as well as the H
I have questions about the wi6/36...
need 2 w's from the top and haven't looked at the bottom one yet
but I doubt I can answer your questions 😜
well, I found it. just classic enable arbitrariness.
like why do they allow certain words to be that ending but not others
got any wr?
LOL, just tried ma7 thinking no way
I don't and I had just noticed wr and looked
the ma7 must be my last word!
wait, it can't be the same ending
oh lol it is
FW
thank you, I never would have tried that
lol, well done
Congratulations
Looking down the chat, I prefer eructate
for what? godthaab making me use a dictionary
hahhahaha
HOET and 42 left for later. TTFN
well you H experts, which one do you think i would miss?
Eructate, do people really talk like that?
he 6/24
yes, that'll be it
ty
:)
I have no idea what eructate means
me neither, but, i would never want to make someone feel weird for having an extensive vocabulary
i don't talk like that but i know what it means (smug)
Call me weird. I prefer to communicate with words I think people will understand.
well I guess if there was ever a place to use a large vocabulary it would be here
nobody needs to be called weird, that is the point. we can be different without anyone needing to be classed as weird.
she didn't really say weird hursh.. you're taking it a bit far
having a large vocabulary certainly helps in this game !
no, she did not say weird. i was suggesting that when one regularly expresses shock in a disdainful manner when people use words, that can make people feel weird.
I don't really have that large a vocabulary and I do ok at this game
and then i was pointing out that Molly doesn't need to be weird for NOT using the word, either.
OK...moving on...
<-- is weird. ask anyone :)
Disdainful manner? I made a joke with Carla about portmanteau and some other words in a conversation. And when it got shot down I stopped doing it. I have never heard anyone use eructate for fart.
i don't know how to explain what i mean, so, i'm currently giving up for now.
I actually swear a lot in normal conversation.. I've read that's really a sign on intelligence.. So I'm keeping it up
:D
are you absent minded too? i've read that's another sign of intelligence.
rehi - I think godthaab used the word to make a funny. I didn't think he was weird and I didn't think molly called him weird.
I can be.. but not that often... usually after a martini or two :D
woot! i must be a genius!
gm Welki :)
hi, dolly
Hurshy - one can never be overdressed or overeducated. i use eructate all the time.
Molly - yes I really talk like that!
my question is why eructate when eruct is more concise
six of one, half dozen of another
hi all
Hi Godthaab. I had no doubt that you do talk like that and I don't think you're weird.
well I'm going to use it as often as possible now :D
Molly I use erectate for fart all the time. There are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in your philosophy :)
You are right - I don't think I am weird
Yay!! for ruruocks
now if I can just figure how to use portmanteau more often
yay
be prepared for nan to ask why you are talking about suitcases
oh really?
It does also mean suitcase
I hear Bob Seger is doing a remake of Katmandu and calling it Portmanteau...♪♫I think I'm going to Portmanteau♪♫
Sounds more like Weird Al
morning all
See, Al didn't mind being called weird 😊
gm mool
moooo
hey dolly, hoke...happy Thursday to you both
Not at all! He embraces it!
I'm sure I've been called weird and I don't mind. I feel like most weirdos embrace it.
:)
here's my chance to recommend the Weird Al movie again
Let Your Freak Flag Fly!
Great movie!
Most of the movies I have seen lately have been weird. Especially Everything Everywhere All At Once. That takes the "weird cake".
and again, no one called or implied godthaab was weird (except maybe hurshy)
oh for heaven's sake. yes, there are different senses of the word weird. weird can be great. people can embrace being weird. all i was saying is that if someone uses a word and you say "do people really talk like that?" it holds the potential to make them feel weird in a not-good way.
or it also has the potential to make them feel smart in a good way
Well don't you fret. Godthaab and I are just fine.
Hi all. Any clues for the 7s or 8s? Ty
Sw 8 is an extension of a 6
I have 2 ad 7 and a wo 7 (similar to sw8)
the other 8 is MI 8....begins with a prefix....adds a common word....
*Laughs at Pen's clue
anything good in the PB?... ;o)
I am trying to find these. Ty.
yw...
Got mi 7. Ty
yw...don't forget the 8....
Ty got a seven and an 8 and looking for others. Ty
yw...
Not finding the sw words.
it's a sound....
it was the first word i found... ;o)
Ty. That did it. Had the six. Ty.
8s grey. Ty
like when something goes over your head, lol. I use it all the time
yw...
hi all. help mi8 please
i clued it...scroll down a little....
I saw the clue, still stuck
do you know the prefix?
mis or mid?
the first...
ty
last part i actually put right in my clue....should have gone to the PB....
the 8 is a pl...
ty got them
yw...
dire
no, hopeful really... ;o)
sorry wrong box, didnt mean your clue
no problem....i was just kidding you....
good morning/afternoon :)
hi nan....
It is hard to land a joke here successfully Pen 😊
ah well....
somehow I missed the 8 when mael clued the 7 earlier
I mean I know how, that is SOP for me
I'll bite - what is SOP?
standard operating procedure?
yes
ok -- wondering if carla has a background in the military or government? They are the only people I know of that use a whole bunch of acronymns -- I'm convinced it is so that nobody else will know what they are talking about!
I thought that was standard acronym
I do not, nan, but have watched a lot of movies, tv, and read a lot of books
first time I've seen it -- you have to remember my occupation involved teaching people how to spell and use proper English grammar -- no acronyms there!
pretty sure it is military
but has crept into everyday life via entertainment
there is a reason seats of government are called alphabet cities :D
am I weird for using it or just smarter than y'all?
or if they have a habit of naming streets and avenues A,B,C,D etc
yeah, washington DC has a lot of that
I'm surprised no one clued the sw6 as the nike symbol
i thought of that earlier, too...
need 21 more 4/s and 5's -- just not seeing them
maybe people don't know the nike symbol has a name
perhaps...
I have 17-15-8-1 remaining
21-21-11-1
oh, I thought you meant 21 total
11-12-8-1
i am waiting for it to stop snowing so i can move my car....
I suppose, looking back in the chat, that I am one of the sensitive ones that want words removed. Yes it is a word game, and things are words. But including words that hav NO other meaning than to be a racial or ethnic slur , and having half the players not know it is a slur, makes the game less safe for some. Sp5 is a racial slur but also has a common meaning - you dig? The words I call out are cunt, sago, spic ( I think), jew as a verb, etc. I will continue to call out these words because sometimes people don't know their meaning. it can be instructive for people who don't know they hold negative stereotypes. These days it helps to have sensitivity because there is so much hatred. I don't think these words should be cancelled, but I don't like them being in Enable in a game I use. Enable is very unpredictable in what is allowed. That's all to my rant today.
I don't know why there has to be so much conflict in a word game that we play for amusement.
we actually have sunshine just now - amazing :)
our third stom of the week is coming on Saturday....
We have cold and gray and a wintry mix. And I have to go to the dentist. Tomorrow it's primary care. Yesterday it was ENT. this is becoming my life.
oh that is terrible
Is anyone here familiar with CKD (Chronic Kidney DIsease)?
well i hope your dentist visit goes well...
I think this is the result of our own failure to develop means of replacing fossil fuels a lot sooner -- like 30 years ago
The dentist won't go well because I have been focused on CKD and feet issues.
no, I'm not.....my husband was diabetic and had kidney and feet issues
sorry to hear it...
Sorry to hear that Kaplan
We never heed the warnings.
Yes, Kap, I'm borderline.
think I'll check out Wordle
I was a reasonably healthy person before CoVID2020.
took me 4 today
I second what everyone has said. But I gotta go to the DMV for my mom, so prayers accepted.
good luck...
dmv?
I'm stage 3a which means I have to drink an ocean of water every day. I'm already on a plant based diet.
ameleu, borderline what?
I don't know why I never heard anything about Stage 1& 2.
I have appt next Tues to check bloodwork. Mine started w/undiagnosed UTI (no symptoms, well there were but I attributed them to hurting my back) CKD.
There are 5 stages if I remember correctly.
I have no symptoms, and I have a slight (1%) bit of hope that it was a false positive because of not giving an adequate UA sample.
3a you can maintain forever, 3b IDK, Stage 4 is dialysis, and stage 5 is you need a new kidney. The National Kidney Foundation is a good source of info.
Had doc visit a year ago, bloodwork done, they called me and told me to go to ER immediately as my potassium level was dangerously low. @ ER, the resident finally called for a urine test and discovered the UTI. I think at that point my renal function was down to 15.
My brother had kidney cancer (they took it out) and my aunt died while on dialysis. I got the lab numbers before my doctor saw them or had a chance to talk with me. These patient portals are awful.
My primary care doc didn't seem alarmed, lol. She told me to slack up on alcohol and drink more water and see if my level would rise... it has, gradually. We shall see.
So how are you now?
Mine didn't seem alarmed over my bloodwork, idk why. I don't drink alcohol because of my GI issues, and I am drinking so much water that...Oh, you don't want to hear all this.
Well, no symptoms, no jaundice, no pain. If I hadn't seen test results I wouldn't even know. Will find out next week if I'm continuing to revive it. I'm not on any meds for it, so...
LOL! No worries. Glad to know I'm not the only one!
gotta go move my car...bbl to finish...bye all....
CKD doesn't go backward- meaning if the diagnosis is correct, all I can do is maintain. Cant' go back to stage 2 or 1. Why I was not told this- just to drink more water, but not WHY-I've been very upset by the whole thing.
I think Enable should remove the word Kidney because it traumatizes me.
I wouldn't have known either.
I'm 76 and my doctor tells me I have 77 year old kidnies
Getting older sucks Kaplan. Sending out good thoughts that you maintain and don't go forward.
lol
Yep. I refuse to wiki/google it. I looked up info when I first found out and my girl child is in the medical field and she's the one that threw up the red flag.
Getting older is not for kids.
ired
bichon, that makes sense, you were in the womb for 9 months, lol.
Just go to the Kidney Foundation. The web is filled with misinformation and can make you crazy.
yes, bichon, at times
sorry. That's exactly what he said.
I would change doctors if my doctor said something that lame to me.
ER disgnosis was that I was in renal failure.
no symptoms
Dealing with diabetes is enough
I've had the same doctor for at least 25 years. I trust her to be honest with me. I don't think doctors like having lab results being posted on the portal before they have even reviewed them. IDK what all those numbers mean- I am not a medical doctor.
I am prediabetic. Sometimes I am pre-prediabetic. That means looking at a chart.
nobody changing doctors around here -- we have such a shortage of doctors that people are just left hanging when their doctor retires.
and I've gotten the same, "drink more water" but no explaination for it.
There's a renal dietician that I tried to get an appointment with.
I like having my numbers on the portal. Especially my Hg A1C [diabetes measurement]
we called and there's a 6 month waiting list even w/doctors referral.
Here's the main thing for everyone DO NOT TAKE ADVIL, IBUPROFEN OR ANY NSAIDS. Tylenol is not good for the liver, but NSAIDS have direct link to kidney problems. Tested and confirmed.
I've been told that by my doctor, Kap.
Kaplan, I hear that from my doctor
I like having access to mine so I can do my own compare from last to new and act on that as necessary. I can go back and see what fluctuates from year to year. I'm not one to freak out over such things, but I know there are some who would.
Doctors always tell people to take Advil for pain, because they have been scared out of prescribing opioids. Guess what? People don't just suddenly become addicted with a short course of oxycodone.
I freak out. I was planning my funeral 3 weeks ago.
mids
sorry, again
Yep. That was another one of my problems, Ibuprofen. Was taking 800 mg 2 or 3 times a day for my back/sciatica for about three months straight. DUR!
Exactly. Sciatica.
I've been put on a anti inflammitory and I was reluctant to take it, but if I take it with food, I'm okay.
hate sciatica
I never thought of myself as aging till the pandemic. Having to throw out half of my shoes was very discouraging.
Wait, what are you supposed to take for pain? Aspirin? That thins your blood.
3 'dislodged' vertibra. Knew I hurt it but didn't realize extent until the nerve started getting raw from being rubbed on.
Embrace the suck
amen!
Kap, you can ask your doc to not release your lab numbers to you before they talk w you about them.
I always want to know before my doctor appt. Usually it's good news
first pass done. 44 to go.
*!*~*!* HAGD :)
yay nan!
rose
oops
II think the doc has no control over the lab. But I can ask.
22 here!
I was actually missing that ro4, dcs :)
17 for later.
I also like to know prior to doc visit so I can formulate my questions so as not to waste our time...
