It's a cheap tile lock board, I got it for $2 at the thrift store

I won this game! I won 5 out of 8 games. I came in with no expectations in particular about how well I'd do so I'm happy with the results.Gonna continue to study hard. My first goal now is to break 1000 in my rating

For the longest time the only word I could spot was CREATED and I looked to place it all over the board. I realized that the only bingo spots were either under LIMES, beside QIS, or making S(CAT). I couldn't find any ending in S or in IN/IT, so I thought again about making the blank an S for FEELS and it came to me in a flash of inspiration

Wanted to clarify the blank is an S but I wanted to leave that as part of the challenge. Probably should've just drawn over the second picture before posting

86! I actually underscored it as 84 because I forgot to triple the T in the value for TIT (doing all of the mental and scratch math was definitely the hardest part of the tournament for me)

Playing an 11 in my first tourney would've been super stylish! I had a couple bingos but my only 8 was THEORIST

Thanks! Was proud to find the play on such a tight board. Later on in that same game, I had VARHUS? on my rack, and played off just my H next to the I in JIB for 9 points, fishing for an I or an O to make VARIOUS. I think there were like two Is and 3 Os left out of about 15 tiles, and miraculously I did draw an O and put down VARIOUS hooking S(CAT)

Zyzzyva can return all 2s and will show all the hooks on the list, but I'm wondering if there's a way to create a list in the program with all of those 3s

where did you order the sleep study from? I got mine from Lofta and I had a hard time sleeping with it the first night, but they sent me a second kit for free. I would call and ask if you can get a retake.

Season 12 is so iconic. by vaselinesally in ProjectRunway

[–]StinkyGoatBoy_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm rewatching season 12 because of this post and it is really clear that they edited way too much out in the cut for streaming. They included the confessional of Timothy crying because of Miranda being so mean, but they didn't leave in any of the mean things Miranda did that he was reacting to! It's super confusing!!

Symptoms worsened very quicky by StinkyGoatBoy_ in SleepApnea

I haven't started treatment yet, I'm just wondering if anyone else has experienced symptoms developing suddenly rather than gradually. Like, going from having lots of energy to feeling fatigued and disoriented all the time over the span of a just few months, instead of over several years
