7:20 am
FMitch
It took me forever to get that 6 and 9.
wtg! sprite is hoping we will get a huge grid for the weekend after all the small ones.
7:21 am
LoriP
Usually after a cluster of wee grids, we get nailed with like a 500+. *sigh*
7:22 am
FMitch
Are you still in Autumn or is winter starting to show itself?
7:23 am
LoriP
Still Fall, temps have been quite reasonable for the time of year. We had the best weather Summer in a very long time. I hope the trend continues. How 'bout across the Pond?
7:24 am
FMitch
Short spates of summer with some very hot bits now 'tis Autumnal and forecast for the south is first frosts and for the v north first snow flurries.
7:25 am
LoriP
We just had our first frost here on the Coast on Thursday. That's amazing really, for the first.
7:26 am
FMitch
Maybe you are due a milder winter (fingers crossed).
Hows Uni doing?
7:27 am

Could I get a clue for re6/30, please?
2:55 pm
Nancy Boy
hi all. around for about 10 minutes, so I can clue. The tr6/18 is a chemistry term, means a compound with three double bonds.
2:56 pm
Nancy Boy
if you re6/30 something you prove it to be wrong
2:57 pm
Gеогgе
halo, NB!!
2:57 pm

re 6 means to argue against

Hey, George :) see you've been confusing my cousin :P yeah, I'm done, just had a free 10 minutes so I thought I'd stop in.
2:58 pm
Gеогgе
don't get that tr6/18 clue at all, then I'm not educated as you must be!!
2:58 pm
Gеогgе
god you must be bloody good at this then??
2:59 pm
Gеогgе
confusing him?? was trying to make things less confusing by explaining them--didn't do a good job of it then eh??
3:00 pm
Nancy Boy
not at all, it was like pulling teeth, took me ages! sorry though, I suck at giving clues. Remember A level chemistry like it was yesterday ;)
3:00 pm
Gеогgе
your not on the messy then??
3:00 pm
Gеогgе
yeah, well some of us never got that far, I left school at the age of 15!!
3:01 pm
Nancy Boy
ahh, he'll probably understand from your explanation! looked funny at first though. boy needs to get 'flaming' ;)
3:01 pm
Gеогgе
eh?? when did I say 'boy needs to get flaming'??
3:02 pm
Gеогgе
oh yeah, he needs to get that word? ha!
3:02 pm
Nancy Boy
yeah!! glad you explained, I had no idea how. Didn't fancy looking up the Korean for that!
3:05 pm
Gеогgе
ha, ha!! wonder if he'll understand my explanation!?
3:06 pm
Gеогgе
there's a funny bit on J's page!!
3:06 pm
Nancy Boy
oh yeah? I'll take a look - I should have coached him on a bit more colloquial English!
3:06 pm
Nancy Boy
he already gets confused by my slang.
3:09 pm
Gеогgе
who, J?? ha!
3:09 pm
Gеогgе
yeah, it's sorta important to know our slang, ha!
3:09 pm
Gеогgе
is there any slang used in Korea??
3:10 pm
Nancy Boy
yeah, just so he doesn't think we set fire to our celebrities here :P
3:10 pm
Nancy Boy
yeah, I think so - not that I know much of it, since my Korean is basic at best!
3:10 pm
Gеогgе
ha, yeah! he thought J was on fire!!
3:12 pm
Nancy Boy
well, being on yahoo with us will certainly be an education for him ;) he is such a sweet person though. Very polite; noticed he called you Mr ----- in your guestbook!
3:14 pm
Gеогgе
halo, Jellen!!
3:14 pm
Gеогgе
yeah, NB, told him not to do that, ha!
3:15 pm
Jellen
How are you today, NB and George?
3:15 pm
Nancy Boy
Hi, Jellen :)
3:16 pm
Nancy Boy
It's just culture clash George, would have seemed very rude to him, to call you 'George' straight away!
3:17 pm
Nancy Boy
I'm reet Jellen :) and yourself?
3:17 pm
Marc Freeman
I have been on the phone and have still not gotten re6/30 is it a compound word so it would be and re + 4 letter word?
3:18 pm
Jellen
I'm good...found a friend to go with me tonight, so concerns allayed!
3:20 pm
Nancy Boy
It's not a compound word, no. think re + a woodwind instrument that makes sound when you blow air over the hole - minus an 'l'. I'm a terrible cluer and that's all I can think of!
3:21 pm
Marc Freeman
I finally got thanks all for bearing with me.
3:21 pm
LeslieAnn
the one i have is not compound, marc - to re**** an argument
3:21 pm
Jellen
re 6/30 = re* (sports official) + *** (slang for a SUV)

Got to go thanks

3:26 pm
Gеогgе
eh, Jellen?? I was busy tweeting on Twitter and updating my yahoo page at the same time!!
3:26 pm
Gеогgе
and still am!!
3:26 pm
Nancy Boy
No worries George, I'll have to be off in a sec anyway - Frank just got in and I'm up for a cuddle on the sofa with the cats!
3:27 pm
Jellen
Okay, then...
3:27 pm
Gеогgе
oh yeah, I see
3:27 pm
Gеогgе
I'm always busy when I'm on here, so there's gonna be lots of lapses, you know how it is! folk like to tweet and DM messages to me they expect responses to, silly of them, lol!
3:28 pm
Nancy Boy
lol! too popular ;)
3:28 pm
Gеогgе
I still have 38 left, should probably give up!!
3:28 pm
Gеогgе
yeah, that's it, dunno why?!?
3:29 pm
Nancy Boy
that's how I felt about last night's grid. Literally took J giving me clues word by word! And today's is nasty too.
3:29 pm
Gеогgе
yeah? well you got today's all right??
3:30 pm
Gеогgе
so you must be a lot smarter than me, cos I'm not!!
3:30 pm

Could I have a clue for the upper left U, please?

3:31 pm
Gеогgе

3:32 pm
Gеогgе
the Boy's gone mental!! yeah, could just see it!
3:33 pm
Nancy Boy
Well, just think I shoulda paid more attention in biology, if my first thought is music and not wombs!
3:34 pm
Nancy Boy
Cracking album though, remember "All Apologies" was the first song I ever taught myself on guitar!
3:35 pm
Gеогgе
yeah, probably so NB!!
3:36 pm
Gеогgе
well, can't say much for your musical taste, lol!
3:38 pm
Nancy Boy

3:46 pm
Jellen
So sad, Jesse...
3:46 pm
Neliamne

3:47 pm
Jellen
Hello, Niliamne
3:47 pm
Nancy Boy
well, I was gonna ask my sister if she could send some of my stuff on, but my parents dumped it! So I'm putting a positive spin on it and calling it a fresh start.

4:49 pm
mich_pdx
he was a great president. It's too bad that the media has made physical looks such an important part of being a good leader. And not just "good looks" but the sense of "fitness"
4:50 pm
cosdem
right. the homely of the homeliests can be amazing..
4:50 pm
cosdem

mich_pdx
not nice.

6:18 pm
stidmama
it's sunny here (for today) and was very chilly last night. I turned on the furnace for the first time
6:18 pm
Pinikula
I'm about ready to get out the winter jammies at night...
6:19 pm
stidmama
yep. tom put a 'nother blankie on last night too --
6:19 pm
Pinikula
oh, and don't forget sleep socks...may not have enough of those!
6:19 pm
stidmama
I am going to plug in the heater for the bathroom before Monday so I don't freeze when I am getting ready in the morning.
6:19 pm
Dorens
heat has been on here and winter jammies the last two nights
6:20 pm
Pinikula
If I could just get Koda to lay down on my toes, I could hold out on the blankets and heater a little longer!
6:21 pm
stidmama
hey doren! ((hugs))
*image of a beagle a) holding still long enough to warm anyone's toes and b) actually sleeping while on said toes*
6:22 pm
Dorens
getting ready to go outside in the hottub. most of the summer it was too warm to appreciate it. how's school stid?
6:23 pm
Pinikula
I keep imagining it, too, stid...cuz it sure hasn't happened!
6:23 pm
stidmama
*hides under laptop to avoid talking about school*
(don't get me started doren)
6:23 pm
stidmama
LOL pini!
6:23 pm
Pinikula
oooooh, I'm jealous, dorens!
6:23 pm
Dorens
hope the kids are treating yu well, that's all
6:23 pm
stidmama
I would just be happy for a bathtub that is the right size for me and with enough water to actually be warm when filled...
6:24 pm
stidmama
had a rough week in that department doren, and I think I know what it isn't working but there is not a d4 thing I can do about it.
6:24 pm
Dorens
about ten years ago the stone patio outside my bck door was all coming up and needed to be replaced and it was so expensive, i had to take out a pension loan. My son said, as long as you're borrowing, borrow some more and put in the hottub you know you've always wanted. i thought he was crazy. but what a good idea it turned out to be
6:24 pm
stidmama
three weeks to go... will sleep for a week when I am done
6:24 pm
Pinikula
try finding a bathtub I can 'relax' in stid...not sure they're out there unless one lives in a mansion or a home decorating show room!
6:24 pm
PAV3
tsk tsk...it's still nineties in the day and sixties at night..it might be a bit chilly..bu no blankets yet...
6:24 pm
stidmama
your children are pretty smart, doren1
6:25 pm
Pinikula
no kidding, dorens! clever son
6:25 pm
Dorens
middle school kids are so hard to deal with these days, but you'll win them over. give it time
6:25 pm
stidmama
I would be happy -- deliriously so -- with a 5' long old-fashioned claw-foot tub such as I had when in college. The ONLY redeeming feature of that rat hole slum apartment I lived in
6:25 pm
Dorens
the hot tub is tiny... a three seater, nestled in beside the stone patio and the stone wall up the hill. it is so unobtrusive and cute
6:26 pm
stidmama
*ignoring PAV for obvious mean streak*
6:27 pm
PAV3
my comfort zone is in warm sunny climes...I didn't mean to offend anyone...peanut butter cookies anyone?
6:27 pm
Dorens
i'd love some, thanks pav
6:27 pm
PAV3
raspberry lemonade?
6:27 pm
stidmama
oh well, just passed halfway. back to coding data. I am enjoying this piece... LOL perhaps I ought to revert to admin assistant.
6:27 pm
Pinikula
<-- I prefer cooler climates...just the season didn't go from hot one day to cold the next...a little shocking on the system...
6:28 pm
stidmama
mmmm. PAV, you are my new bestest friend. *grateful look as I wander off with refreshments*
*micro-poof*
6:28 pm
stidmama
mmmm. PAV, you are my new bestest friend. *grateful look as I wander off with refreshments*
*micro-poof*
6:28 pm
Dorens
i like all seasons, just wish winter were one month shorter
6:28 pm
stidmama
back in a bit. (and I swear I didn't hit that key twice!)
6:28 pm
Dorens
like, if spring really DID start march 21, that would be just lovely
6:29 pm
Pinikula
3 months each...that's all I ask for...
6:29 pm
Dorens
yes, pini, but march always feels like winter here.. snow and cold and everything is bare and ugly
6:29 pm
Pinikula
oh, wait...make that 2 months each with a transitional month in between!!!
6:30 pm
PAV3
stid...af5 5 classes in calc, I found that even for teaching, one doesn't need the higher math 'cept t show that one can do it for testing purposes only... My mom hated algebra when she was in teaching school, and af5 retiring found it wasn't needed either...granted her degree was in bilngual elem ed...
6:30 pm
Dorens
i could go for that... seems we haven't had much transition lately.... go straight from winter into spring... last week i was in shorts and this week feels like winter
6:30 pm
Pinikula
and then some, dorens..
6:32 pm
PAV3
I think we're having fall now...hence the cooler weather and spots of rain...(cooler being 90s) "fall" fall starts in Dec and lasts for one month before winter arrives for two months and then spring is on for one month and summer is here again
