lucky to have one. i am looking for someone new.

how are the bunnies taking the disruption?

I have to keep their gate up. Fiona likes to exit the room and explore. Also, it has been noisy--flooring, etc.

ah, i suppose flooring is a major disruption. i need the entire house done.

enjoy your day.

7:42 am

Could I please have a def for ra7?

7:42 am

I don't have that word. I will look.

hmmm, bottom F seems hard

12:02 pm

... a couple of what I'll refer to as french for "fire" babblets

12:03 pm

... a 5/6 which I usually think of as using an s but here they don't

12:04 pm

.. sorry ... there should be an "and" at the start of the previous comment

12:11 pm

any guesses on my last top F?

12:13 pm

not fatify, which is what desserts do to me

12:13 pm

... fa5/22 ... a "fairy" word I'll guess ... sounds like something the little old ladies in the Gary Cooper version of "Mr Deeds Goes to Town" might have used

12:14 pm

hmm, will look, thanks. not sure I've ever seen any gary cooper movies.

12:14 pm

.. oh I tried all those fatty words too ... twice ... but none of them are there

12:16 pm

... 1936 Mr. Deeds Goes to Town ... with Jean Arthur ... directed by Frank Capra ... ... It's where I learned the word

12:17 pm

... learned the word "pixilated" ... which contributed to my thinking of the fa5 as a "fairy" word ...

12:20 pm

well I am still looking 😭

12:20 pm

... in the past

12:23 pm

good morning - don't have an fa 5

12:24 pm

... I have no idea what it means ... but I'd guess the meaning is something like "to have been turned into a fairy or at least fairylike" ...

12:25 pm

mmm - thought that would have been spelled fe*** if it means pixilated

12:26 pm

ah, a past tense, thx

12:27 pm

... oh I'm sure that no one has used the word since 1936 ... I've never used it or heard it used

12:27 pm

it used to describe someone who was somewhat whimsical or flighty

12:27 pm

well the present tense is here too

12:28 pm

... much like the little old ladies in Mr Deeds ...

12:28 pm

... must be off ... sorry if I've confused everyone

12:28 pm

lol, no. bye

12:29 pm

it was also a term for someone under the effects of alcohol. Can't yoo just see it? "I'm sorry officer, but I am pixilated right now"!

back and on the march to fireworks!

12:39 pm

I like you're can do attitude. still 55 left here and found one word on my lunch break, so back to work.

carla I see you are from SC. I am from Charlotte originally but live in Toronto

12:46 pm

I just moved from Charlotte last year after 27 years there

12:46 pm

and no idea why I used you're for your

12:46 pm

terrible

I'm headed back there on Monday for the holidays with my family

12:47 pm

I was mostly always north, near concord mills

well if we're being specific, my family is in Belmont/Mt Holly

12:48 pm

now I am between Asheville and Greenville, only a 2 hr drive from CLT

I have a good friend in Taylors and I frequented the Shriners Hospital in Greenville throughout my childhood

12:49 pm

well, I spent a lot of time at the whitewater center not too far from there

after all these years it's so nice that lickety is still doing the clues thing

12:55 pm

yep, I remember the old days before he made that site. someone would post a list and then I'd use Excel.

12:57 pm

BrandyJack was posting a list when I started playing

12:58 pm

There was no list in 2005? I thought Lickety had started it by then.

12:58 pm

no - it was after 2008

12:58 pm

Can someone tell me when I became a member here? I can see on others' profiles, but not on mine.

12:59 pm

Your profile says 2008, up at the top right.

12:59 pm

Dec. 5 2008

April 7 2008 here

12:59 pm

thanks!

definitely played for a few years pre-lickety

1:00 pm

thought I had started playing in 2008, but it was 2005, so maybe lickety was running his list in 2008

well he has a web counter on there that says since april 18, 2006 so maybe wasn't as many years as I remember

maybe he just had the list and not the ability to input so that's why I used excel

the bulk add was added in april 2007

1:05 pm

You should be able to see your own start date in your profile. I can see mine.

are you talking to me? I can.

I thought we were pondering when lickety started the list

1:07 pm

Lickety came on board shortly after I started playing, so I would think 2006 was the start date.

1:08 pm

off for breakfast - 54 left for later in the day
