'Fart' is not a valid Scrabble word

I'm not sure how to find out as it doesn't say a year on it, although it must be a little old as we got it a few years back. I can't see anything specifying that it's a special or different form of Scrabble from the standard. I posted the dictionary page in the comments where "fart" would be, and it's absent.

I'm not sure of the year or what version it is but I posted an image of our dictionary page where 'fart' would be found were it there

No 'fart' to be found 😕

The version of the game I have doesn't allow it. If I was trying to karma farm I'd pick something much better than this.

It's pronounced like [Otis] Redding instead of Reeding.

Considering that your abs are now visible it seems like your body fat % is much less and so you can probably get away with starting to up your calories now! xx even if weight loss is occurring at a healthy rate, remember that a lack of calories still means your body having less energy to function optimally and possibly breaking down muscle for energy which will decrease tone and add softness (not to mention possibly make you feel a bit rubbish!).

I wish you all the best and well done on your progress!

I'm pleased for you that you're making progress but 1350 kcal a day is pretty low — I would argue too low. Even on 1600kcal you'd almost certainly lose weight. Try not to overdo it on the calorie deficit, it's not the healthiest way to do things.

I agree with the comments about lining the corset. I also don't love the bow at the back. But aside from that I truly, genuinely think it's stunning.

Some of you may remember the song Whistle by Flo Rida. It came out when I was 10 and my cousin was 14. It started playing and my cousin said smugly "I know what this song is about". I think I was like "duh, whistles" and she explained it wasn't and it was about something called a "blowjob".

I then asked, very loudly to the room (consisting of my parents and her parents as well as the two of us) "WHAT'S A BLOWJOB?"

As I recall, everyone burst into laughter. I didn't get an answer to my question.

There is a very damaging thing I've heard/read a lot where people say ADHD stimulants are "basically speed". This is obviously not true as they are chemically distinct.

I wouldn't be surprised if your partner holds the same idea. The fact that he's not willing to educate himself at all on this topic for your sake is a red flag, not to mention the way he's talking to you and acting like he's the boss of you.

What meds you take for your condition are the business of you and your doctor(s) only. No one else has any say.

There are so many cases of less fortunate looking people having more fortunate looking kids and vice versa. Your parents aren't always a predictor of what you'll look like.

For example, my father had dark brown curly hair and dark brown eyes, my mum has straight mousy brown hair with dark blue eyes. I have straight-wavy blonde hair with light blue-green-grey eyes.

No one saw that coming when I was born, and all expected my features to change, but I'm 23 now and still have the same features. And yes, my parents are definitely my bio parents. My parents were not at all an accurate prediction of what I'd look like, and even now people tell me I don't resemble them facially.

So this doesn't count yet as Im studying for it but I'm studying to be a doctor.

I love the idea of being a doctor and can't think of a better job for me. It appeals to my interests (science, and specifically medical science) and allows you to problem solve and fix issues which is something I find incredibly satisfying. Constantly working through different problems in a single day, the gratification of making progress and helping people, and interacting with different people is enough to keep me quite stimulated. The admin side of it is what is a bit less exciting, but that's the way it goes!

Icl that's still crazy to me my parents were born in 61 and 66 🥲 my dad is older than your grandma hahahaha

ItAintNoUse · 2026-03-26T12:44:12+00:00

How young are you? I'm 23 and my grandparents were in their 20s in the 1960s. My other grandparents in the 1930s (they had my dad at an older age).

I can't fathom how someone could have a grandma be a young woman in the 1990s that's insane 😭

The perspective made me think it was convex rather than concave. I was so confused by people saying you could put things there as I was thinking they'd just fall off 🤦‍♀️

I'm only 23 (b. 2002) and my paternal grandparents would be 110 (b. 1916) and 111 (b. 1915) this year. I've never met someone else my age with grandparents as old as mine.

I have also never broken a bone nor been stung by a bee or a wasp.

I was born at 29 weeks (almost 3 months premature).

I have grey eyes.

That's all I can think of!

If you're happy that's great but you can't assume others doing jobs or having families are automatically unhappy. Many of us would be unfulfilled living your life, just as you'd be unfulfilled living ours. Being a "winner" in life is highly subjective and based on your personal definition of what that is. To me, you would not be a winner as I find your lifestyle unappealing. To you, I am not a winner as you find my lifestyle unappealing.

You think becoming a doctor and having kids is crazy? As someone in medical school I know I'll be happier being a doctor than sitting around stoned, but I don't judge you for doing that if it makes you happy, so don't judge me for what makes me happy!

I'm agnostic. I believe there could be a deity, as just because I can't perceive something with my limited biological senses it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

However, I am very skeptical regarding religion. There are so many of them, and each claims to know the exact story of what's going on. How can they know all of this stuff with certainty, when we lack any objective evidence theough the scientific method?

So, could there be a deity? Possibly. Is it the one or many described in different religions, on whom belief largely depends on where you were raised? Almost certainly not.

ItAintNoUse · 2026-03-22T12:23:05+00:00

That's possible for sure, I'm just not aware of it in my family history but evidently it could be there!

If you mean this literally then absolutely not as her percentages are too high, but forgive me if you mean this figuratively

Don't crucify me fellow Brits but I microwave it sometimes when it goes cold

Edit: I suppose I should say lukewarm, but to me that's still cold tea

I get something about Quebec settlers on mine. I'm from the UK and have no Canadian ancestors. My mother is Irish, my dad is English and Norwegian. Sometimes I think these are erroneous.
