good morning * hugs * sprite
*hugs rose* Hello sweetie, are you resting up after the easter and your loss?
yes dear. went out for lunch with a friend whom i have known since 1974.
ah wonderful. I hope you had a great time together.
her twin girls, now young women of course, also turned up. was such a lovely surprise.
even better :)
talk about a small world. one of their so4 went to a four-wheel drive place for something for his car. and my youngest, Josh, served him.
isn't that amazing??
sure was. Nadine couldn't believe her ears when her boy told her about helpful this bloke was, and here's his business card, mum.
roflol. The Big Guy sure has a sense of humour.
He sure does. remember the time Don was cleaning out an old wallet of his? and he flipped me one of the business cards with my first husband's name on it.
that was so freaky...
baffling, things like that
it back before my first marriage. i still can't get my head around it.
so. how are you going sweetie? night's any better for you?
didn't sleep much last night. The nights before were better though. I have to play actor for the training of new volunteers for the telephone helpline,, so I need to stay bright-eyed and bushy-tailed until that is done. After that... naptime, methinks.
sounds like a good plan. how's Rob doing?
very tired again, and we don't know why. Otherwise he is doing okay.
hmmm, is he due for his regular blood tests? he may be low on iron. has he been eating enough of the good stuff...red meat, spinach ??
just got sk 6 and 7 thanks to more words
he has been through so many bloodtests and all the other checkups lately, with the apnea and the knees and the psoriasis and all the other stuff. Everything comes back perfectly alright.
good way for you to check is pull down his lower eye lid. mucosa should be a healthy pinky red. if very pale pink, low iron.
can't be that, honey, his blood has been checked ugh times
CPAP working properly. the pressure may need adjusting. make sure his mask is fitting firmly against his face.
yes, all checked and working perfectly
i had to have the pressure increased after a while, once i had caught up on my sleep, i needed a higher pressure.
maybe it's not iron related. could be vitamin B deficiency. try a compound of vitamin B's replacement
has all been checked, honey
so is he napping during the day because he's so tired?
sometimes
hmmmm. hit him with a brick? just behind the left ear. don't worry. you won't feel a thing.
lol
is he still with the archery club? it
is he still with the archery club? it
sorry. sometimes boredom can come through as tiredness.
yes he is, he just repaired his bow and is about to start on his second one
fireflies
you could do a slow striptease for him. get his adrenalin up.
WTG SPRITE!!
roflol. Very very slow, that would be. Honey, poofing with hugs. I hope you sleep well.
hope the training session goes well for you honey.

xorry
so many birds singing right now. I love this merlin app.
it did not pick up the hummingbird that just buzzed us
It is programmed for a different sound than hummingbirds make
yeah, I'm sure since it's not an actual call or song
just the wings buzzing
welp, someone just started up something so I guess that's it for today.
It's a cool app. I wish it were free.
it's not? I don't recall paying anything.
It may be that Birda site they promote that charges
I saw an ad on FB for a little speaker that you leave outside and then look at an app, and I was like why would you buy that when you can get merlin for free?
I think you can pay for merlin and get more features, but I think the bird ID I use it for was free.
like a wand?
btw, skort is a legit portmanteau, enable!
lol, I don't think a wand was included
well, as usual the C is not very friendly
contor
oops
yes, I'm just making up things and still have 10 c's left
well... it was a good try hokie
I did add a letter to that before everyone starts telling me to
well, made up enough k's to gray that one today, so I've got that going for me, which is nice.
i have the bottom three rows grey already
of course you do
struggling a bit with the S and the L on 3rd row
l is super easy all normal words
(normal for enable that is)
well, I have managed HOET
but have a whole lotta words left (lotta not a word)
A legal portmanteau 🤣🤣
oh, finished the 3rd row S. for once, ruru was not exaggerating.
I said a legit one, not a legal one
Too legit to quit
hey heyyy
ugh my missing s was a stupid plural
nice grid portmanteaus and all
25 left here

Ru blew the chat?
not blown for me, it put the \n in rehi!
I didn't try it. Just looked long.
and what a smug SOB 🤣
what do you mean you didn't try it? if it was blown, you would have to scroll right to see things.
I have only looked at the chat that is on the screen. I don't go through the chat very often.
I'm not trying to be persnickety or snarky, I'm genuinely confused.
I've been to Raleigh and back already today. My eye hurts and lookes like I was in a bar fight. Mr. Bea is next to me trying to set up the second new tv. I'm ready to take a nap.
good luck with your eye and the second tv!
We're fuc*ed.
wish I was closer to help
with the tv, not the eye
just found 4 words! thought I was done seeing anything.
where is everyone today?
2-3-4-5-2

bye
oh, found a c7
do you have the co8?
I do.
no, should I know it?
oh now, champ is here being smug 😜
It's a plural of a regular word. Just got back for last 22
It is like the actor pair but with a differnt last cons.
This is the co8.50
thanks, bea
OH! I didn't know both 8s were co. I have the 8 45
that is not a regular word to me, champ
Champ might be thinking of the co8.45
oh, guess I need those too
I don't have the 8 50! Still need 4 c's.
I have 3 other co7 but none of those can be pl
oh, I see them
now just need 1 c

found the L!
and the T. a duh moment.
1-1-2-2
I need 2 from the 4th column top T.
there's a weird 5/6 set with the high pt
I have that, I think. It's probably some boring, easy word I'm not seeing cause there are so damn many of them!!!
back
hola!
hi ho
i too need two top Ns
mooo!
I only need 10
well, moo, it's about to get cluey up in here
heh
how can it if we are missing the same things? lol
champ, there's also a weird tr5/6 set with said tile
hmm, scottish
well, we have been known to list the things we have to make sure we are missing the same, hurshy
true
and I just need 1 N so maybe you are not looking for a set
oh i thought you put NN
yeah, and then I corrected it
oh i see
you'll be pleased to know I only need one n now
itchy typing finger
on the top that is
well overall I guess
hokie have you got any non- prefix words?
no, and i tried
I was just looking at that!
how many SK have you got? i have only found one but dunno if there are more
1
3
and I have tried
aha, my missing 2 then
leave it to bea to find the ones we miss
ends with the pre easter season
yep
I was thinking I bet it's that 3rd letter
crap I only have 1.
think we've had those before but I couldn't remember
weird
thanks bea!
are there any SN? (from the third row S)
what's weird is the def makes it look like it's a normal word
no
now N OO R
Ss Sunk!
first past done
5OFOET
1-1-1-1
9-16-9-4-1
gonna assume my O's are a 4/5 or a 5/6 or a 6/7 set. that narrows it down
you'd think I could find the last 4
only have 2 O's left
oh, duh on the last 4
well that's not helping me, moo 🤣
:)
I have all the right o, just 2 on the second o
2nd row o
same
don't ostlers ostle?
Why is it all I want to eat is rice and beans?
red beans and rice didn't miss her
sometimes your body craves things based on nutrients you are low on
I have typed ostle more times than I care to admit
it's clever that way
Love Mexican rice and pintos.
running out of ideas too early on the C :(
yeah the C is definitely chewy
I clued several for Carla.
yeah, it was a PITA. I had 6 left for a long time.
4OFOET
ok maybe will check the chog later then
including the C
well, actually just the C
found my last two o's
oh? do tell.
not a regular word
sounds like you're onto something then for my missing ones
subclass of Passerines (song birds, which are most bird species)
stats?
os 6/21
yes i have noticed while playing Birdle that there are soooo many passerines
yep, they're most birds
unless you're out on the ocean :)
Oh of course, a subclass of passerines. How could we all not see that 🤣🤣🤣
got the little punks
nice!
lol
oh i think i meant passeriformes, which is even more cause it is higher up the tree
Does anyone else think that Hurshy and Moolingwa were related in a former life?
well they're often used interchangeably
oh moo, you missed me talking about the bird party here this morning. normally we just have this one tufted titmouse and some cardinals, but this morning there were a ton of different ones.
passeriformes is the order, and passerine I believe is the adjective
yes, all nerds must be related
oh cool hoke, did you manage to identify them?
lol
moo...you lost me at passerines
i think passerine is a family within passeriformes
hh
And they are all from Nerd Nation
yes, even had an uncommon cape may warbler
If you don't know Leslie the Bird Nerd on youtube, you should check her out.
birds and words, too of my interests
two
still have quite a lot of 5s left
I'm a big birder.
and 6s for that matter
no, mool was right, it's just an adj for all of the passeriformes
i'm not a birder at all, i've just been playing birdle and very slightly increasing my knowledge very very slowly
cool hursh
Leslie even has her own line of merchandise
also playing lots of geography games and my knowledge of african geography has been improving a lot
The only place you are going to see Big Bird is on Sesame Street. Or at the ostrich/emu exhibit at the zoo.
you might see him in China if you watch Big Bird Goes to China
when i was little i thought that was the most exotic movie
let's see...in addition to the cape may warbler and tufted titmouse, there was carolina wren, northern cardinal, northern parula, red-eyed vireo, eastern towhee, carolina chickadee, wood thrush, yellow-rumped warbler, blue-gray gnatcatcher, american crow (not my fave, they are here a lot), pine warbler, yellow-throated vireo, great crested flycatcher, house finch, white-throated sparrow, red-bellied woodpecker, black-and-white warbler, hairy woodpecker, chipping sparrow. white-breasted nuthatch, white-throated sparrow
That's a haul
I'm quite fond of wrens and nuthatches
A comvention!
Big Bird was on The West Wing once. A great scene with him and Allison Janney (also tall)
The nuthatch is the only bird that can go backwards.
it was rainy this morning when I was sitting out there, does that have anything to do with so many?
geography is another interest of mine
We've seen blue birds
Nice group of birds, carla.
my neighborhood has some bluebird houses with cameras
well birds will often shelter when it rains and come out when it eases up, so they can kind of build up a bit because of that
I saw a whole flock of bluebirds last month. It was awesome.
Wet ground makes of easier eating.
normally they get up as the sun rises, but if it's raining they'll sometimes wait
yeah, I'm inside now but can hear some of the regulars only out there
now i'm doing badly on the E
I have managed to complete the E if you need help
I still haven't seen my hummingbirds. Saw a scout a couple weeks ago. Nothing since.
got the o's. now just n5 left
yeah i just have one en4 and one eo4
el and another en
oh thanks got two EL
and the normal one
had one hummingbird buzz me while I was out there this morning, bea. I bought a hummingbird feeder and then read we should not have them due to the bears.
how long is the other en
yeah, bears don't buzz as much
lol
en4
GAH why do i miss all the normal ones now
it's a plot just to upset you
a plot by my own brain?
yes, it's quite devious really
Ls Lambasted!
still have some L's left, haven't looked at it :)
that silly C still has my attention
did you all see that story about the pyrenees dog bringing a little missing boy back home with him?
i saved the C for later
oof, the place where my daughter and I are doing riding lessons has a pyrenees...he spooked her horse a few weeks back and sent her to the ground
i think so hokie, unless it's just some other dog rescue story that i saw
his name is bear :)
pretty neat story
unless you're the kid's parents
no, still neat that they have their son now
all's well that ends well
The dog's name is Buford.
Though Bear makes a better joke.
yep, love that name
20 to go 2-8-6-3-1
ok, gonna have to look at the list for this n5
i think maybe mool meant the dog that caused his daughter to fall off the horse, ch1212
girl's name hoke?
oh, thought he was talking about the missing kid
oh! I see. You know, I really need to pay more attention to the chat ... but you knew that already ;) lol
I don't have any that look like girls names
on the parents comment, was about the story
but yes, bear the dog caused my daughter to fall
right but the dog named Bear was the one that made your daughter fall, right?
correct hursh
yes, so i understood
good job me
wasn't sure I understood myself
lol
but he just said you didn't understand correctly
he was talking about the story
maybe I don't understand
my apologies for muddling up the chat. :(
the parents comment was about your story
I believe I may have done that first ch
he was talking about the story when he made the comment about the story being less cool for the parents. but he was talking about his own daughter when he said the dog was named Bear.
that is correct
ok, that's the way I understood it
and found the word with the list for FW
so the confusion is that there was a thought there was confusion, everyone straight on that?
was it the girl's name hoke?
yep, minus a letter if anyone is wondering
ch1212 was confused because she thought you meant about the story when you said the dog's name was Bear. she commented that that dog was actually called Buford.
ohhh, completely missed that
again, my bad for not paying attention to the larger chat.
I mean I saw the post, but didn't associate it with my post :)
yeah, I didn't pick up on that either, just thought she was commenting on the name buford.
it doesn't matter, ch1212. i just pride myself on following chat especially well and knowing what people mean lol
it's important, because then she can explain to me what I mean, because I often have no idea
lol
but I still don't know why moo thought the parents would be upset about buford finding the kid
lol
he didn't, he just thought they would be stressed WHILE the kid was missing
oh, I thought the dog brought someone else's kid
haha
so that time i did NOT read you correctly then lol
the searchers saw 2 mtn lions while they were flying overhead too
you know, I'm feeling a lot better now knowing I wasn't the only confused one. lol!
that's pretty cool, have not seen a wild mountain lion, though I have petted one
how did you pet one without seeing it?
I wasn't petting a wild one
aha
ok so can someone tell me the second letter breakdown for the Ks? i have 4 ke, 1 kn, 2 ko currently
my neighbor had a bobcat in his yard that was so big, it was like puma sized.
probably wouldn't know that I'd petted one, if it was a wild one, because I probably wouldn't be here to tell you :)
I have 3 ko
you never know, if the mt lion had just gorged, then he might not feel like killing you
yeah, unfortunately my ability to communicate with mountain lions is somewhat limited, so I probably would just assume they haven;t
There are 3 ko. Just found my last one...ko 5/18. there are 2.
we've had them within a couple of miles of where I live, but haven't seen any yet
hmmmmmmm
ok got the third one
woohoo!
that still leaves another, either ke or kn
yeah, I still have one left
only 1 kn
ok thanks
oh unless there is a kL
or a ks ;)
there is a ko who is a Klingon in the episode Memory Alpha.
yeah but the only ks i know is ksis
fw. last 2 were T's.
congrats!
Thx!
just found my last 2 T's
ok i might need those two Ts cause i need 4
yay!
See you tomorrow!
still 13 left
