Came across this in A FATAL GRACE by Louise Penny. Definitely something we don't experience in Phoenix, AZ!

CBee Perfect! I‘m actually on #6 in the series! Still cold and icy 😂 2w

dabbe @CBee 🤩😂🤗 2w

CSeydel I once used this word in a history paper in high school. My teacher took points off because he didn‘t know what it meant. One of the worst teachers I have ever had (and not just because of that). 2w

dabbe @CSeydel Translation from teacher: How dare you profess to know a word that I don't? You must have made it up or looked it up in the dictionary! #oy 🙄😂🤗 2w

Suet624 This qualifies as a descriptor of my current local weather. 2w

dabbe @Suet624 🩵❄️🩵 2w

CBee @CSeydel omg that‘s terrible! Shame on him 😡 2w

CSeydel @CBee He was truly horrible 2w

A little less morose than last week's word. Things must be looking up.

AmyG @dabbe Did you get Matt‘s book? 1mo

CBee Ooooo a good one. I thought about posting “fecund” today but for some reason thought I‘d already done that one at some point. Reading “Mythos” and Demeter is fecund in that she keeps things growing and fertile ♥️ 1mo

dabbe @CBee Another excellent one. Fun to pronounce and mispronounce, too! 😂 1mo

CBee @dabbe 😂😂😂 1mo

I love color words! The bird is a flavescent bulbul, and the fish is a flavescent peacock (a type of cichlid). Apologies for not posting the past two weeks, friends! #weirdwords #weirdwordwednesday

CatLass007 If I had seen this word before today, I would have thought it was a word that was a description of the way something tastes.😂 But now I know better. Good word!! Thanks for sharing. 1mo

TheSpineView Good one! ❤️ 1mo

TheBookHippie I love birds 🙂🙃 what a fun word! 1mo

dabbe 🤩🤩🤩 1mo

BookmarkTavern Yellow is my favorite color! 💛💛 1mo

psalva This is a fun one! I haven‘t posted in forever because ever since an iPhone update my phone app is not functioning the same, but hopefully i can resolve it if i get some free time to look into it soon. Thanks for the continued tags! I always look forward to #weirdwords! 1mo

CBee @CatLass007 ha! I definitely didn‘t expect it to mean a shade of yellow 😂 1mo

CBee @TheBookHippie isn‘t this little guy cute? So yellow and poofy. 1mo

CBee @BookmarkTavern it‘s such a happy color 💛 1mo

CBee @psalva oh no! I‘m sorry to hear that. Have you reached out to Litsy help? 1mo

I've been feeling a lot like this lately, especially since 11/5.

CBee Same, girl, same 🤯 1mo

Suet624 Who knew there was such a word. 1mo

Amiable @CBee @dabbe I can‘t decide if my feelings of dislocation and disassociation are a good/protective thing for my psyche or if it means this election has permanently broken me. Maybe both. 1mo

dabbe @CBee 💙❄️💙 1mo

dabbe @Suet624 IKR? 💙❄️💙 1mo

dabbe @Amiable God, that's EXACTLY how I feel, too! Let's hope it's the first one. 💙❄️💙 1mo

Suet624 @Amiable I‘m sure that it broke me. I am not the same person. 1mo

dabbe @Suet624 Deep down, I believe you're right. I can't even summon the wherewithal to even look forward to 2025. All I do is tremble. 1mo

Amiable @Suet624 I used to be a daily news consumer. I read WaPo, NYT, the Atlantic, local news sites, etc. Since 11/6, I can't do it. My eyes skip over anything that at a glance appears political in nature. My brain has disengaged. Where I would once get inspired or irritated into action, I now find myself shrugging and saying, “oh well. That's what they voted for. Not my concern.“ Even though it most definitely is going to be my/our problem(s). 1mo

Suet624 @Amiable I‘m doing the same thing. 1mo

Suet624 @dabbe it‘s just a dangerous clown show coming up. It‘s the ticking time bomb. I tremble too. 1mo

dabbe @Suet624 @Amiable Same here. Matt and I do our NYT puzzles in the morning and when we skim the news, ANYTHING that has “He who shall not be named“ on a headline, is avoided like the plague. And my faith in the majority of the people in the US has gone kaput--draining right down the proverbial swamp. 1mo

BkClubCare @Suet624 @dabbe Trembling here, too. {{{hugs}}} 1mo

dabbe @BkClubCare ❣️❣️❣️ 1mo

CBee @Amiable @Suet624 @dabbe right there with all of you 🙁 1mo

dabbe @CBee Hugs. We need an emoji hug without a smile face because sometimes, well, we need it. 1mo

CBee @dabbe I agree! This one is weird but is supposed to be a 🫂 1mo

You know how the days just run away from you in a week? Too busy baking for my markets. Well, I found 123 words in #WinterGames24 #WordSearch Total points of 1,230 #HolidayBookDragons @StayCurious

JenlovesJT47 I have a question. I hadn‘t been doing the word search yet but I went back last night through all of the books I read this month so far and did the word search. What would be the best way for me to post my points? I don‘t want to have to make a post for each book as it would take forever 😆 1mo

LiseWorks Lol make a list woth points and post it 1mo
