1:59 am

jillibus

that was 1989. A sampler pattern is a replica printout on linen of an embroidery piece done by a child (usually) back in the 1700s -- at least, that's what mine is. Come tho think of it, samplers would make a nice icon theme.

1:59 am

sprite

putting it in right now!

2:01 am

westford

I love American history so I'll be in my glory

2:01 am

jillibus

The only trouble is they're not usually square...

2:02 am

sprite

Juli 26, jilli. And we can make them square.

2:02 am

jillibus

It's a most interesting place.

2:02 am

westford

Jon sat next to a woman on the plane yesterday who went to William and Mary. She told him to have lunch at the Cheese Shop

2:02 am

sprite

your enthusiasm is so wonderful, west :) I can see you shine from across the ocean!

2:03 am

westford

that's me perspiring

2:03 am

jillibus

I kow how to make them square, sprite, but not everyone does.

2:03 am

westford

it's supposed to be 95 all week

2:04 am

sprite

I'll gladly teach them then

2:04 am

jillibus

wow -- we've been having very cool weather -- not even up in the 70s.

2:04 am

sprite

wow that is kinda hot, west. Make sure to bring a hat or parasol.

2:04 am

westford

that's in southern VA not as hot here

2:05 am

westford

a parasol !! that would fit right in

2:05 am

flosey

2:05 am

sprite

2:06 am

dart001

2:06 am

jillibus

I'm just tackling the re words. I hate re words.

2:06 am

westford

ooh that's not good

2:06 am

sprite

I am ok, there are no Ks today

2:07 am

westford

and not normal, is it ?

2:07 am

jillibus

poor dart!

2:07 am

westford

there haven't been for quite a few days

2:07 am

sprite

sounds impressive. Not good for cars though.

2:13 am

dart001

uh-oh...killed the chog

2:13 am

sprite

somebody clicked the red X

2:14 am

westford

we're all running to get fans and ice water for you dart

2:14 am

jillibus

red x?

2:14 am

sprite

don't you know the red X, jilli? You will find one at the upper right corner of each window.

2:15 am

dart001

not used to the high temp/humidity....still used to mn weather I guess

2:15 am

jillibus

my x isn't red here, sprite

2:15 am

sprite

well, here it is raining cats, dogs and whales, and my love is going out today to canoe! With a group of people from canoe club... what are the odds he will be all alone there?

2:16 am

sprite

hmz... you are right, jilli. To be correct, the X is white and it sits in a red box.

2:16 am

jillibus

if the canoe club people are anything like golfers, they'll be out in full force.

2:16 am

westford

does he like the rain sprite?

2:17 am

sprite

can't wait to hear his stories later on, lol. West: no usually he doesn't. Secretly I suspect he wants to show that it doesn't mean anything he just turned 54. ;)

2:18 am

westford

men !!

2:18 am

sprite

*grin*

2:18 am

sprite

it was, it is and will always be... an alien breed!

2:18 am

westford

2:18 am

dart001

me and ruru covering our ears

2:19 am

westford

2:19 am

westford

present company excluded of course

2:19 am

sprite

I'll keep mine for as long as they are willing to share my life, west

2:21 am

flosey

2:22 am

flosey

2:22 am

sprite

2:22 am

dart001

2:22 am

jillibus

wow flosey -- good job! And goodnight!

2:23 am

flosey

thanks everyone, chat's been fun

2:23 am

sprite

I am having a bit of a brick wall at halfway point

2:24 am

jillibus

I've put aside the re words for now

2:24 am

flosey

back for a sec, jilli, I sent a second message about an hour later, better method

2:25 am

jillibus

I saw that flosey and thanked in reply.

2:26 am

sprite

lol... this is a meta conversation

2:27 am

jillibus

flosey was sending a recipe for rabbit-proofing a garden

2:27 am

dart001

2:28 am

jillibus

2:29 am

dart001

thx jilli..think in about 3 days highs will only be 88 (31C)

2:30 am

jillibus

I like temps in the 80s

2:30 am

westford

I'm back. Just remembered I hadn't run the dw

2:30 am

westford

good night dart and flosey

2:30 am

sprite

wb west

2:31 am

westford

thanks sprite you always make me feel welcome

2:31 am

sprite

:) just like seeing you

2:31 am

jillibus

when do you leave, west -- in the morning?

2:31 am

westford

and me you

2:31 am

westford

like seeing most babblers most of the time

2:32 am

westford

I think we'll leave around noon jilli

2:32 am

sprite

yeah it is a good bunch, mostly

2:32 am

jillibus

that sounds nice, west -- have a great trip!

2:32 am

westford

his chore is to take the cats to board at the vet's

2:32 am

westford

that should take all morning lol

2:33 am

jillibus

herding them might!

2:33 am

westford

we really have no set plan..hope to be past NY before the beach traffic hits

2:33 am

westford

lol yes, that's what I mean

2:33 am

sprite

just tell them it is absolutely forbidden for them to go there.

2:33 am

westford

that should work sprite

2:33 am

jillibus

that's the great thing about driving -- no set timetable.

2:34 am

westford

his mistake is getting the kennels out ahead of time...and they know!

2:34 am

westford

took him 12 hours to get home from CA yesterday.He was flying United and got home just before the computers went down

2:35 am

jillibus

Hadn't heard about those computers!

2:35 am

sprite

ouch! That sounds awful :(

2:35 am

westford

still had weather delays

2:35 am

westford

oh yes. he was exhausted

2:36 am

westford

dinner was a little dried out but he was so happy to have real food

2:36 am

sprite

public transportation... leaves from a place you are not, to a place you don't want to go, at a time that doesn't suit you.

2:37 am

westford

so true !!

2:37 am

sprite

aw poor man

2:37 am

jillibus

air travel used to be fun

2:37 am

westford

I think this trip will be good for both of us

2:38 am

westford

except for that woman in our new car

2:38 am

sprite

you so deserve it, west. I hope it will be all you long for.

2:38 am

westford

voice of the new GPS

2:38 am

sprite

lol! let her be silent. Just look at the screen.

2:39 am

jillibus

I love my GPS. I've called her Felicity and she has a British voice.

2:39 am

westford

she's so mixed up. we went to our cousin's daughter's graduation party and she brought us 'round robin's barn

2:39 am

sprite

I have been told you can get another voice if you want... like Tom Cruise's or George's...

2:39 am

westford

this one sounds like Wendie Mallick

2:40 am

westford

ooh George

2:40 am

jillibus

You can always make her recalculate

2:40 am

westford

I think I'd like Richard Burton

2:40 am

jillibus

you can keep Cruise

2:40 am

westford

she does but she's just not my cup of tea

2:41 am

westford

she keeps interrupting me !!

2:41 am

sprite

I don't want either. Now sean connery maybe... or Jeremy Irons.

2:41 am

sprite

how rude, west!

2:41 am

westford

on the way home she took us through Providence right smack into a Gay Pride parade

2:42 am

jillibus

How was she to know!

2:42 am

sprite

she is pretty liberal

2:42 am

westford

I know but it was kind of comical

2:42 am

westford

turned us left just in time

2:42 am

sprite

excuses excuses excuses... of course she should know. That is her value over that of a map, right?

2:43 am

sprite

(we are very oldfashioned here... we re4 maps)

2:43 am

westford

I think I will give her a name..love Felicity but she's not British

2:44 am

sprite

Wendy should work?

2:44 am

westford

that would be my job and I'm not a very good navigator

2:44 am

westford

but that's our 2nd daughter and we like her

2:44 am

jillibus

Wendy, for wending your way?

2:45 am

sprite

ok, not Wendy. How about Anita?

2:45 am

westford

let me think about that

2:46 am

jillibus

Rhoda?

2:46 am

sprite

lol nice one. The Wayward Wench?

2:46 am

westford

for our state

2:46 am

westford

Anita Clue

2:46 am

sprite

LOL

2:47 am

jillibus

Well, Rhoda for your state and for the roads she makes you take.

2:47 am

sprite

Clueless outside of Seattle

2:47 am

westford

yes !!

2:48 am

westford

for some reason she kept us off the highway today..what should have been a 10 minute trip turned into an hour

2:48 am

sprite

maybe you need to check the options and settings? She might be programmed for seeing routes.

2:48 am

jillibus

Bad girl!

2:48 am

westford

she probably had too much to drink

2:49 am

jillibus

Does she have traffic jam sensitivity?

2:49 am

westford

we just haven't had her long enough

2:49 am

sprite

bad Rhoda. No more wine this month.

2:49 am

westford

I don't know

2:50 am

westford

it didn't seem very busy today

2:50 am

sprite

she might be a rowdy Rhoda

2:50 am

westford

now going up to Maine on a summer weekend..that's crazy

2:51 am

westford

Rowdy Rhoda..very good !!

2:51 am

sprite

back in a few, I need some sustenance

2:52 am

jillibus

Well, I can get ready for bed now and take my pill. Won't have much time tomorrow -- going to play bridge and I still have 106 left. Goodnight all!...*poof

2:52 am

westford

bye sprite I'll probably be gone when you get back so tons of hugs

2:53 am

westford

good night too jilli and gentle hugs for you

2:53 am

westford

debating whether I should take my laptop on the trip..if I don't I'll have 500 emails

2:54 am

sprite

night jilli, night west

2:56 am

sprite

*hugs* west and have a terrific time. Leave the laptop. When you get back, let the emails come in, then sort them on sender. Very easy to remove the non essentials.

2:57 am

westford

good idea sprite.

2:57 am

westford

See you when we get back.

2:58 am

sprite

bye hun!

3:30 am

rubyfoo

3:44 am

dizgrannie

3:45 am

rubyfoo

3:45 am

rubyfoo

now, I'm waiting to see if the figs ripen or fall off

3:45 am

rubyfoo

how about yu? how are you feeling?

4:01 am

rubyfoo

4:02 am

rubyfoo

aaah, half

4:51 am

Michnick

Hi all. Got exactly halfway through on the first run through. Back for more later.

6:29 am

carleekat

morning all

6:30 am

MollyL

Morning Carlee

6:30 am

carleekat

morning molls

6:30 am

carleekat

hows things ur way?

6:31 am

MollyL

Not bad. Cloudy Sunday morning. Making sausage biscuits.

6:31 am

MollyL

And you?

6:32 am

carleekat

sunny here... having a piece of the dreaded banoffee pie ( too lazy to cook as i am headed bac to the house shortly for the last clean ...sign is up ) and i have a cat on my ass

6:33 am

MollyL

Well, best of luck getting it sold. I hope that goes quickly so you can get it behind you.

6:33 am

carleekat

me too!!!!...i think it will...the neighbourhood sells...and...everythign inside is breand new...EVERYTHING...

6:34 am

carleekat

brand* new even....

6:34 am

MollyL

The market is slowly getting better. And it sounds very "sellable".

6:34 am

hurshy

carlee - you inspired me, i made a banoffee pie yesterday too

6:35 am

carleekat

there are alot of houses on the market here...but...there is only 1 other house comparable that we can tell..and it is on a busy street...and is priced slightly higher ( ours is a quiet crescent)

6:35 am

carleekat

YAY Banoffee pie!!!!!!!!!!

6:37 am

MollyL

Morning Hurshy

6:38 am

hurshy

morning

6:39 am

carleekat

how did ur banoffee turn out hursh?

6:40 am

hurshy

well i made it up myself and it wasn't quite "offee" enough, but that was easily fixed by adding extra toffee chips.

6:40 am

MollyL

I thought you didn't like coffee Hursh

6:41 am

hurshy

i don't, the offee is toffee, not coffee

6:42 am

hurshy

i'm amazed that you remembered about the coffee :)

6:42 am

MollyL

Ah, I see. I thought Carlee's recipe had sprinkled coffee crystals on it. I'm sure there are a lot of different recipes.

6:43 am

hurshy

yeah my sense was that everyone has their own variation so i just made up my own version

6:43 am

MollyL

That's the best way to do it. Everything I make has a tweak or two in the recipe from me. It makes cooking creative.

6:43 am

hurshy

i did graham cracker crust, then a layer of caramel with toffee chips, then a layer of banana cream, then a layer of whipped cream.

6:44 am

carleekat

i dont like cocoa on top of mine... and when i say coffee crystals...less then 1/2 tsp on top of a 20" pie top

6:44 am

MollyL

Now see, because I don't like bananas, I could change the banana cream to french vanilla cream and I would like it.

6:45 am

carleekat

just enough u decorate the top instead of pastey white goo... u cant taste the coff at all

6:45 am

hurshy

vanoffee pie

6:45 am

carleekat

that would be vanoffee pie molls ;)

6:45 am

carleekat

snap hursh

6:45 am

MollyL

Indeed. : D

6:45 am

hurshy

oh i'd be able to taste it, carlee, blech

6:46 am

hurshy

i was able to taste the alcohol in a lemonade that had .5% alcohol - my brother in law thought i was a freak

6:47 am

MollyL

Strong sense of taste and smell. I have that too. Except I am Hursh's polar opposite, I LOVE the smell of coffee.

6:47 am

hurshy

weird. ea7 works but if you type eye**** in, it doesn't say "not in grid", it says "not in dictionary".

6:47 am

carleekat

C*O*F*F*E*E

6:50 am

MollyL

I guess the unpredictable world of enable considers ey7 two words.

6:52 am

hurshy

guess so

7:02 am

MollyL

Oh, the definition of ea7 is some sort of jewelry. I guess that is why it's one word.

7:22 am

Kazzer99

afternoon all - any clue for the de 6/24 please

7:22 am

kje

remove a stain

7:22 am

Kazzer99

thanks kje

7:23 am

kje

yw

7:23 am

kje

not the real def, but easier to clue

7:38 am

MollyL

I think more people would get that clue than the real definition.

7:42 am

Kazzer99

i am down to 15 - all s's and t's - lots of letter combos i struggle with today - big problem with sa's for no real reason

7:50 am

MollyL

Save one, the sa's are all weird words

7:53 am

Kazzer99

well that last bit of lurking paid off - i have now finished and now i can go and do some house work - lots needs to be done today still

7:57 am

daykat

7:58 am

herinfernallady

Mom the actual cake was chocolate mud, and the bottom layer was raspberry buttercream and plain icing the top was Almond paste

8:17 am

herinfernallady

Thanks. I was stressed about it because everyone was going to see it

8:17 am

Mom

wow Herin, you are quite the baker

8:17 am

car.eeyore

The Summerlands Molly?

8:18 am

herinfernallady

I can be. Special occasions I like to bake but himself doesn't eat sweets and if I made everything I would like I would be a rolly polly.

8:18 am

herinfernallady

Hi Molly

8:18 am

Mom

haha ... I wish my sweetie didn't like sweets as much as he does

8:19 am

herinfernallady

The cake was a diabetic coma waiting to happen

8:19 am

Mom

I bet

8:20 am

herinfernallady

We saw Harry Potter today on the big screen today.

herinfernallady

Not all I haven't seen the last one yet. The one that was released last year

8:22 am

herinfernallady

And we had the biggest freeking tub of popcorn too

8:22 am

Mom

with butter I hope

8:22 am

herinfernallady

Yep and salt.

8:23 am

herinfernallady

So darn expensive though :( But since we do this so rarely why not

8:23 am

Mom

it is expensive to go to the show here. $10 for a ticket and $12 or so for a small drink and popcorn

8:23 am

Mom

agreed Herin

8:23 am

herinfernallady

$7 each ticket and jumbo popcorn 2 drinks 2 choc tops

8:24 am

herinfernallady

This was because the show is old

8:24 am

welki

dang it .. logged out, logged in, closed browser, rebooted laptop .. still can only see tiny cake icon!

8:24 am

Mom

No problem. I will send one right over. What colour?

8:34 am

herinfernallady

8:34 am

72 Temple Owl

is mom here?

8:35 am

welki

one just like this, please: http://tinyurl.com/yh7eqey

8:36 am

welki

hi to .. mom was here, went off to start her day

8:36 am

MollyL

Welki, I'm with you on the movies. If I go, which is rare, I go to an off beat time showing hoping for a thin crowd.

8:37 am

herinfernallady

I do that Molly

8:37 am

MollyL

And the only thing I buy is a drink. I bring my own popcorn and snacks.

8:38 am

herinfernallady

Since we go so rarely why not. BUt I have in the past

8:38 am

welki

i don't watch many movies, even at home. i have a difficult time sitting still that long (welkimania)

8:38 am

herinfernallady

Welki I was at a concert and stayed in the same spot for more than 5 hours

8:38 am

MollyL

Don't get me started on cell phones during a movie or a church service.

8:39 am

herinfernallady

My phone is off even when i am at a coffee shop

8:39 am

godthaab

Nice car, but I prefer the old behemoths. I see there is a used one for sale! Only 81, 000 British pounds!

8:39 am

MollyL

Good for you Herin. I think certain people need a 12 step program for cell phone addiction.

8:39 am

godthaab

Where are you in Canada?

8:40 am

herinfernallady

If I am with company even with my partner phone goes off

8:40 am

herinfernallady

as in I ignore it

8:40 am

welki

alberta, god. (i like the old ones, too)

8:40 am

godthaab

I'm in The Big Smoke

8:41 am

welki

you're up in slave lake? is that what you mean?

8:41 am

godthaab

Ummm,,,, not quite... (Very funny)

8:42 am

godthaab

I have to run. See you later!

8:42 am

welki

oh, it's not funny. slave lake, a small city in northern alberta, just about burned to the ground last month)

8:44 am

herinfernallady

OK I must must must go to bed. Later have a great Sunday

8:44 am

welki

*killed the chog*

8:44 am

welki

g'night herin

8:45 am

herinfernallady

nights

8:49 am

uusue2

morning, all! just restraining myself from throttling my son...

8:50 am

welki

it's five o'clock somewhere *hands uusue a bailey's*

8:50 am

uusue2

*sigh* thx, welki :-)

8:51 am

uusue2

he now has both phone chargers, and I had to wheedle a third one out of him, as well as both sets of car keys. grrrrr.

8:51 am

welki

more girlfriend issues? i'm not caught up ... last time i 'saw' you, you were on your way to a lawyer's office for a consult

8:51 am

uusue2

no, the gf is apparently out of the picture (moving out of state) so I canceled the lawyer. this is just him :-)

8:52 am

uusue2

(he's a little ADD, so I try to cut him some slack, but every once in a while I get fed up)

8:52 am

welki

whew .. well this sounds more like 'normal' throttling issues :)

8:53 am

uusue2

indeed (oops - turns out I still have one set of car keys, so he's only lost one of them...)

8:53 am

welki

still, it's always time for a bailey's :)

8:54 am

uusue2

that too :-)

8:56 am

MollyL

Oh, easy solution. If he loses his car keys, he can't drive the car. : D

8:56 am

welki

works for me. if you lost yours, though, would he have to give up his to you?

8:56 am

uusue2

yeah, and if he loses his phone charger he can't charge his phone. I am getting close to both of these...

8:57 am

uusue2

of course, welki - I own the car, and I'm the one who works for a living...

8:57 am

MollyL

Preventative solution: Put a hook by the front door. Tell him that THAT is where his car keys ALWAYS go. Consequence of losing car keys is no car.

8:57 am

welki

about the charger ... what about getting one of those charging pads? stays in one place

8:58 am

uusue2

we've already done that with the garage door closer, molly, so that's a good idea.

8:58 am

welki

i put my keys on hook for that reason *lol* ... when i see they key rack, it's a trigger for me

8:58 am

uusue2

and I'll look into the charging pad - do they work with all phones?

8:58 am

MollyL

I used to work with a woman whose 23 year old daughter was constantly over drawing her bank account. Guess why? Mom was monitoring the account and making deposits to save the girls butt. Ergo, the girl learned no consequences. To this day that is still going on.

8:59 am

welki

there are universal ones and brand specific ones .. you'll have to make the dreaded trip to best buy

8:59 am

MollyL

<---- Recommends Best Buy on line. Going to Best Buy is torture.

8:59 am

uusue2

he's finally learned not to do that, molly (at least I think he has), and I don't bail him out anyway. He does have a part time job with direct deposit, so he has some motivation.

9:00 am

uusue2

and I am a geek and actually kind of like Best Buy :-) (I just get them to leave me alone)

9:00 am

welki

i am one of the few that think going to best buy is like going to f.a.o. schwarz for grown-ups

9:01 am

welki

(geek, too)

9:03 am

uusue2

ok, gotta go get dressed, bbl!

9:08 am

72 Temple Owl

uh oh, i missed costco business hours, must now go to big box store hell

9:09 am

72 Temple Owl

and i don't even know why, i just need to go. how weird is that? i mean i have not been for a moth, think of what i could be missing :/

9:10 am

welki

sounds familiar, owl ... i received two emails from one of my internet providers confirming top ups on the account. tried to call them to advise i might have been double charged ... get this, they're only open mon-fri, 9-5!

9:10 am

welki

ohh, ignore that post .. thought you had business to do with them, not a 'must go' experience *lol*

9:11 am

72 Temple Owl

oh ok, i know, i promised my hairdresser i would pick something up for her. and with sample, there is a free lunch

9:12 am

72 Temple Owl

but i was dizzy after taking ed today, two docs disagee o dasage it seems

rubyfoo

72 Temple Owl

9:45 am

rubyfoo

hey even mentioned it in the Int'l Herald Tribune

9:45 am

Anniebrook

It is walking distance..far, but still walkable

9:45 am

rastapopolous

9:46 am

rastapopolous

I like your, Owl. Very clever

9:46 am

cool.girl

sorry its not the pr i need its the te9 please

9:46 am

welki

you can walk to coney island, annie? *jealous* i have a friend who went yesterday, looked like fun

9:46 am

Anniebrook

Owl, thanks so much...got it, now I know the name of the screen...babble is very educational

9:47 am

72 Temple Owl

among other things ;)

9:47 am

72 Temple Owl

what is the mermaid parade?

9:47 am

rastapopolous

That's how *I* justify it lol

9:47 am

Anniebrook

welki, Yes, I can walk to CI...sometimes the crowd gets out of hand and was not in the mood for that yesterday

9:48 am

rubyfoo

I'm jealous, too, I miss the ocean

9:48 am

72 Temple Owl

*pcituring mermaids amblugn along on fins like flipper*

9:48 am

welki

understood, annie .. but i loved walking the boardwalk in winter

9:48 am

Anniebrook

Owl, your clues for re7/32 was genius

9:48 am

72 Temple Owl

*preens*

9:49 am

Anniebrook

welki, I walk the boardwalk in wintertime too...it is so beautiful

9:49 am

72 Temple Owl

i have never been there, my dad talked about it

9:49 am

welki

ruby, we need a dose of ocean

9:50 am

72 Temple Owl

i was thinking that earlier today, only 1 1.2 hrs away

9:50 am

Anniebrook

I wish I could move the Atlantic around for you, welki

9:50 am

rubyfoo

I am very far inland; lakes are not the same

9:50 am

rubyfoo

see you later {{hugs}}

9:51 am

Anniebrook

bye, ruby, hugs back

9:51 am

welki

i was in jersey last month and spent every possible minute on the shore. maybe someday, i'll make my way back east permanently

9:51 am

welki

bye, ruby

9:51 am

72 Temple Owl

youwere?

9:51 am

Anniebrook

come home, welki

9:51 am

welki

*sigh* if i could, i would

9:52 am

rastapopolous

There's a lovely ocean on the west coast too. Warmer water even

9:52 am

welki

well rasta .. if you had a choice, which one would you choose? why?

9:52 am

72 Temple Owl

but not bathing friendly. not human friendly.

9:53 am

welki

i've spent time on both coasts ... it's like annie said. the atlantic is 'home'

9:53 am

uusue2

the jersey shore is surprisingly nice, if you haven't been there, and if you go in august the water is quite warm, nice waves too

9:53 am

rastapopolous

When I've been on the east cost, people sit on the beach, but no one swims. Why's that? We've had east coast visitors come with us to the beach and not bring their swimsuits. Very odd.

9:54 am

welki

<-- swims in the atlantic, can fall asleep floating on the waves :)

9:54 am

uusue2

that's odd, rasta, I grew up in NJ and spend most of my childhood in the water :-)

9:54 am

rastapopolous

And maybe afunction of where I've been, no doubt, but better sand on the Pacific

9:54 am

72 Temple Owl

i have been to manhattan beach and no bathers there.

9:54 am

Anniebrook

<-----------swims in the Atlantic too

9:55 am

uusue2

nice sand in NJ too, at least there was back in the 1950s and 60s :-)

9:55 am

cool.girl

could i have a clue for the 3rd letter of the t9 please

9:55 am

welki

hehe, i went to kingsborough for a while

9:55 am

rastapopolous

Well I'm glad to hear some people make use of it lol

9:55 am

uusue2

and some beaches in florida are nice too although the waves are tiny

9:55 am

welki

there still is, sue .. at least there was last month :)

9:55 am

uusue2

and now i have to run, bbl!!!

9:55 am

welki

9:55 am

72 Temple Owl

9:56 am

rastapopolous

True, I haven't been to FL. I guess my experience is ME and CT

9:56 am

72 Temple Owl

i don't see how folks can swim there, the beaches are rocky

9:58 am

cool.girl

MollyL

It is decidedly so.

10:24 am

Just stopping by--no way do I finish this grid. Or even come close. Too much to do.

10:27 am

rubyfoo

200 words, a small milestone!

10:29 am

rubyfoo

now I have to fix dinner, see yu later

10:29 am

jan

Not small at all. This is one of those grids where you need to try out every single variant on a word stem, so it's easy to miss ones. So getting to 200 is no mean feat

10:29 am

jan

Bye ruby!

10:30 am

rururocks

the chatter-nooga choo choo must be going by..

10:31 am

hi, red! I have 112 but they are not coming quickly.

12:24 pm

uusue2

oh, why, red?

12:25 pm

redturtlehead

My friend want to go to lunch with me, and told me to pick the place, so I did, but now they want to go to a place that is like 30 mins away from me...

12:25 pm

uusue2

that's a long car ride - are you up to it yet?

12:25 pm

redturtlehead

SO I suggested two other places, then they asked if I wanted to go another day, so i finally had to explain that the drive, plus all the sitting in the end will cause me pain...

12:26 pm

redturtlehead

Plus, I gotta admit, I dont love that place that much, to drive there.

12:26 pm

uusue2

{{{{{{{red}}}}}}}

12:27 pm

redturtlehead

Well....sometimes being more honest is the better option. Hope they understand. i mean, it is a chain, and the place I suggested was also a chain.

12:28 pm

uusue2

no point hiding the fact that you are still recovering from surgery, and that limits what you can do!

12:28 pm

redturtlehead

She has to know that, she is the one who drove me home after. I think in fact, she just wanted to go back to Bahama Breeze. It is closer to her house....

12:29 pm

uusue2

ah. well, sometimes people overestimate how quickly you will recover, and need reminding.

12:29 pm

redturtlehead

well, I feel funny about it, just texted that to her and now no reply, but she is probably at work.

12:29 pm

sammysmom

if the second re7/32 is the one that starts with a repeated pair of letters, it's an altar screen (it does look odd, though)

4:03 pm

jesdraggon

alright; will see if that worked.

4:03 pm

At least there is some logical definition of it. As it looks, it seems absurd.

Tom helped me make a blueberry pie for my paternal unit today -- he did the crust, and the elder stidkid helped decide on the spicing for the filling. Lemon juice, cinnamon and a bit of freshly-ground nutmeg. It actually turned out well!

7:59 pm

jesdraggon

sounds yummy

8:01 pm

stidmama

It was good. I tried a small piece (it had wheat in it so I shouldn't have ... but every once in a while I break this one). I used the recommended amount of flour and extra tapioca in the filling, so it set up really nicely.

I really like how clean and easy to navigate the site is! Might consider making the title an automatic "home" button, or add a "home" link to the top of the menu bars for each page. Now that I have time again, I am going to play with the css for my website and add a better menu function... not happy with the fully expanded menu with the current version.

8:37 pm

I picked a nice stripe pattern that has a bit of red in it. and a great zoo pattern

8:41 pm

good for you, red! I know that feeling. It is so nice for me to have the energy to be creative again as well as to be able to look around and have the energy to put something AWAY. . . hadn't realized how truly awful and soul-sucking that grad school was until it was over. I am still having occasional nightmares... *shudder*

8:41 pm

Oooh Doxy that is exciting about the gradnson!

8:41 pm
