So you have 7 letters to use. HRTGFU, and A. Make as many words as you can from these 7 letters. Oh, and the A must be in every word.

I'm at 19 so far...

 

I got 20 in the first 3 minutes... So I stopped.

Edit: I only have one word in my list that uses the "U".

 

I have two more besides "Taught" that use the "U."

 

I have better things to do with my life. Like riding my bike.

 

I only used the presented letters once... I only see one "T".

I've added a couple after my 3 minute limit... I'm at 22, and only used each letter once.

 

At this juncture, unfortunately, I do not.

 

Forgot to mention you can use every letter more than once per word. But the "A" has to be in every word.

 

I should probably add that German words usually aren't considered kosher...so FAHRT isn't included.

And they have to be 4 letters or more...

 

I couldn't come up with any cuss words so I lost interest and gave up.

 

This thread is fraught with danger

 

Oh sure, change the rules mid stream... If I reuse the letters, I won't sleep tonight. I'll be thinking of words all night long.

It looks like you need to play "Word Streak" on the phone...

 

D'Oh!

 

No.

 

Best word I can find is HTFU and FU, etc. So I have at least 2. See @SnakeCharmer you can do cuss words.

If he can change the rules so can I.

 

Oh hell no!!! If I crawl down THAT rabbit hole I'll never come out...

 

Took the offspring and her new beau to see the "Phantom of the Opera" at Segerstrom Hall (Orange County Performing Arts Center for you Philistines) last Sunday night. She's seen it before; he did not shy away. That earned him brownie points with me and the wife - and probably with the kid too.

Very, very good production; somewhat darker than the last run at the Pantages. All the voices (except Raoul) were superb. Totally worth it. LA can suck it.

 

Fart.

 

That was for the LA crack!!!

 

South coast rep theater rocks, love me some live theater!
Segerstrom is pretty good, just saw fiddler on the roof there. Wife loved it! I'm not a huge musical fan, but it was pretty good. Haven't seen that one in 40 years.

I am going to see the first star wars movie in August with the OC philharmonic playing all the scores instead of the original sound track. Really looking forward to that!

Would you drive to L.A. if you didn't absolutely have to?

Didn't think so.

 

Well that's a trick question. There's no such thing as an absolutely have to Phantom of the Opera!

 

AT&T sent me an email that said "Congratulations! Your TV cost is going from $43/mo to $88/mo." So naturally, I said no way. After plenty of research and spreadsheet shenanigans, I have decided to tell AT&T I no longer need their TV. I don't watch except the occasional local newscast, and my wife is into the CSI/NCIS/etc which Sling TV carries. So rather than a total of $145 per month (Internet & TV, no phone) I'm now at $75/month and falling. Your experience?

 

We ditched the phone and cable TV about a year ago.

My one requirement was that I could get baseball games... I can! My wife has access to every show and movie known to man, so she’s happy...

 

Luckily, I didn't get the sports-watching gene so I don't need even that. Sling Blue and an OTA antenna (with a one-time cost for a Roku stick since I don't want to buy a new TV) does everything we need.

 

We cut the cord so to speak a few years ago. Got rid of AT&T U-verse and DirecTV for internet and TV and now have Spectrum TV Choice for both. I believe TV Choice is all of the local channels plus 10 of your choice. Their internet speed is over 200mbps. Up from AT&T's 9mbps. My TV/internet bill went from $270 to $105. We also have Netflix and an Amazon fire stick with Amazon Prime. It's very rare that there's something we can't watch.

 

we also got rid of our AT&T/Direct TV monopoly. We went to Spectrum TV and Internet. With AT&T we were paying significantly more and getting significantly less. The Tv is comparable but the internet service is 100x better than AT&T.

 

Yep, I have Netflix also. I'm looking at Toast.net - they resell AT&T internet - 60 mbps for $45/month on fiber. 60 mbps is more than you need unless you're an online gamer.

AT&T has the monopoly here, and I have to admit their internet has been bulletproof. I just won't pay that much for TV since we don't watch much.

 

I recently signed with AT&T after my Direct TV bundle expired (yes, it's owned by AT&T). We went back to U-verse TV UV300 package. Total for TV, internet, and landline is $151/month. I think it's a one year term this time around. I too am likely going to dump them after the year is up. It's an unnecessary expense, IMO. I will likely go with Spectrum internet and watch TV through that. Don't need or use a landline but it was included to make the bundle lower in price.

 

What are you paying for the service?
