the picture of your house was entertaining, if not ideal for current weather, jmc

12:14 am

Bugsaw

will your insurance help or will they call this an act of God

12:14 am

jmcnrick

well they did put in a brick wall at my basement door

12:14 am

jmcnrick

it was entertaining to me too dc--and i thought they had done a good job

12:15 am

broll

jmc - did you see my suggestion in the chog a few hours ago about putting a hose in the pail like a siphon?

12:15 am

jmcnrick

no the insurance co called with a rotocaller today saying they were standing by to assess damage

12:15 am

Bugsaw

how are you doing DC?

12:15 am

gremlinn

phantom yttrium

12:15 am

jmcnrick

oh good idea broll-- if the umbrella blows away i will do that

12:15 am

hootowl

showoff dam!

12:16 am

jmcnrick

so far the umbrella has been holding up keeping most of the rain out

12:16 am

72 Temple Owl

where do you have an umbrella?!

12:16 am

Bugsaw

does that mean that you did have some earthquake damage then DC? I was not able to play when that happened

12:17 am

jmcnrick

i have an umbrella in a hald filled bucket deflecting the rain off the floor and back outside

12:17 am

hootowl

Hows the wind jmc? That will be the biggest problem

12:17 am

jmcnrick

you had earthquake damage dc?!?!?!

12:17 am

dcseain

i kitchen cabinet parially fell, and a shelf fell in another bottom cupboard.

12:17 am

Bugsaw

12:18 am

72 Temple Owl

i swear my boolcase has moved 3 inches

12:18 am

MLFAN17

are the E words on the 2nd column common?

12:18 am

hootowl

12:18 am

jmcnrick

12:18 am

Bugsaw

that is more damage than i have ever had living here on the Pacific plate!

12:18 am

hootowl

and there are earthquakes everywhere!

12:18 am

jmcnrick

a few pictures fell as near as i can tell--i was in harrisonburg at the time

12:18 am

dcseain

our couch moved a few inches in the aftershock the other day.

12:19 am

72 Temple Owl

12:19 am

jillibus

12:19 am

hootowl

Bugsaw

we are waiting for THE BIG ONE here. It is supposed to be bigger than the Japan one this year

12:20 am

jmcnrick

scary mlf!

12:20 am

hootowl

We are constantly reminded that the madras fault is way overdue. If it happens I think the one thing that will definitely happen is looting. Scum town!

12:20 am

dcseain

yes, around the door, hoot, but that's minor and non-structural.

12:20 am

MLFAN17

12:43 am

negativeneil

For the em words. Then there's the es6,21... et5,14... eu4,5. But they've already been given.

12:45 am

negativeneil

12:46 am

hootowl

Why are there so many french words in this game?

12:46 am

VolleymomDee

I have the se and the st...

12:46 am

I've already found several Jewish (Hebrew and Yiddish) words in these grids.

12:47 am

westford

pretty common

12:47 am

jillibus

12:47 am

negativeneil

yes, jilli.

12:47 am

flosey

12:47 am

westford

nite nite hoot sounds like a good plan

12:48 am

jillibus

neil -- did you scroll down my bio to my idea of Enable's identity?

12:49 am

negativeneil

"I've decided the compiler of Enable is a prurient Jewish Scot who is a mining engineer with various medical conditions including dyslexia, and some musical leanings, who has travelled widely and collected a large variety of coins and currencies as well as sundry snippets of several languages, but is slightly out of date about cyberspace. S/he must have had some legal activities too and a penchant for using archaic language."

Haha, very funny jilli.

12:50 am

negativeneil

You'd almost think so though, with some of the words that end up in these grids.

12:50 am

flosey

tea time, brb

12:51 am

12:53 am

jillibus

I'm not fond of this kind of grid

12:54 am

westford

I'm a very fast typist, but at this hour and tired as I am, not the fastest at thinking how to clue things.

Hmmm, quote from NYC live weather cam site: "Hurricane Irene is expected to weaken when it reaches New York, though 80mph winds and 5-foot storm surges are no joke. There will be some very, very clean rats on Monday morning."

3:45 am

rbud

I have some concern re: Irene in NYC, my sister's in a homeless shelter there at the moment. I guess, if she hasn't been evacuated. Haven't heard from her in a few days, but that's normal.

3:46 am

rubyfoo

my sister in NY called me yesterday to say that all public transport has been shut down, museums were going to be evacuated (or not opened)

5:06 am

dcseain

the hurricane warning was for my county, but not the one next to me. I lucked out.

5:06 am

dcseain

that is, not the county West of me, and i'm near that county line.

5:08 am

6:11 am

rubyfoo

6:14 am

dcseain

enough of a non-event that the Urban Search and Rescue team from my region of Virginia is going to New Jersey to help there -- they got hit much harder.

It's like those dry sarcastic people from The West Coast who made fun of the earthquake.

6:18 am

rubyfoo

he was making fun of that, too.

6:18 am

rubyfoo

if anybody wants a used husband, he's on offer.

6:19 am

MollyL

I don't understand people who make fun of other people's fear.

6:19 am

dcseain

bottom EM words mean seditious tumult(s) and extend em4, like a flightless bird

6:19 am

rubyfoo

6:19 am

rubyfoo

6:19 am

rubyfoo

6:20 am

dcseain

fried researched at USGS.gov and found that in the last 16 years, California has had five 5.9 or greater quakes. Which means our 5.8 here was significant, even by California standards.

6:20 am

dcseain

friend rather

6:21 am

rubyfoo

we had a short, violent storm here on Wednesday and it fried (not friended, lol) my computer

6:21 am

dcseain

must say it's nice to hear the planes flying again.

6:21 am

dcseain

oh, sorry to hear that, ruby

6:21 am

rubyfoo

also, the computer of my tech guy, so I didn't feel like such a dope!

6:21 am

dcseain

:)

6:22 am

rubyfoo

he said that the power surge was so violent, that nothing could have stopped it. It fried many computers and televisions in this valley and made national (hehehe) news

6:23 am

dcseain

Well, for Paris to recognize that it happened where you are, it must have been quite significant

6:23 am

rubyfoo

big hail stones and impressive wind but actually it was very beautiful!

6:25 am

dcseain

hail is rare here, rather neat to watch it fall

6:25 am

rubyfoo

the grass was white with it, big enough to use for cocktails, and it broke the nasty little heat wave we had had

6:26 am

dcseain

:)

6:26 am

debjed

hmmmm, i was just thinking of having a cocktail, but alas, it is only 6:30 am :)

6:27 am

dcseain

*passes ice bucket and cocktail shaker to debjed*

6:28 am

debjed

6:28 am

MollyL

I'm barely aware of the time. I was up and down all night with power outages and howling wind.

6:28 am

dcseain

i have plain, cheap plain, and chocolate vodkas on hand.

6:28 am

rubyfoo

deb, meet me in the PB and I'll make "afternoon or even morning cocktails" - maybe put in some fruit

6:28 am

dcseain

6:28 am

rubyfoo

poor molly, I'll make enough for you, too

6:29 am

MollyL

There are still a ton of people without power and from the news photos I saw, trees down all over the place.

6:29 am

debjed

ok ruby!! fruit is nice and healthy LOL

6:31 am

dcseain

Dominion Energy is reporting 700,000 thousand w/out power in NC and VA

6:31 am

MollyL

The Richmond/Newport News area got slammed.

6:31 am

dcseain

a hurricane is made with fruit/fruit juice. Add enough liquor to negate the fruit, and voila

6:32 am

dcseain

yes, have friends in Richmond and Tidewater. Hope lil'mnokey is okay.

6:33 am

MollyL

She was sending out stuff via her phone yesterday saying no power, but otherwise okay.

6:37 am

rubyfoo

when our power goes out, we have no phone service

6:37 am

rubyfoo

stupid system

6:38 am

MollyL

Apparently, she had internet via her cell phone.

6:38 am

rubyfoo

I think I'll make myself a "hurricane" in honor of those of you on the East Coast and my sister!!!

6:39 am

I also found hubs shoe laying in the yard this morning. Strange.

6:55 am

MollyL

Maybe he was out storm chasing the middle of the night.
: )

6:55 am

BzznBea

In our neighborhood, it was probably something chasing him in the middle of the night.

6:59 am

dcseain

colud shoes have been on the porch and blown out there?

7:00 am

BzznBea

That was my first thought. But our back porch is very secluded.

7:01 am

BzznBea

My guess he is was walking the dogs before bed and he came out of the shoe, then couldn't find it in the dark.

7:01 am

dcseain

weird. Glad yall came through okay and with what sounds like minimal property damage

7:02 am

dcseain

the sky here in Northern Virginia is yet grey, with gentle winds from the storm.

7:02 am

BzznBea

Thanks, dc. Where is Irene now?

7:03 am

dcseain

Eye is near Atlantic City, NJ, and the brunt of storm is in North NJ, NYC, and Long Island, with arms into NH

7:03 am

BzznBea

Is she still cat 1?

7:04 am

dcseain

at this time, yes still Cat 1

7:04 am

dcseain

just stuck my head out and found it's raining

7:05 am

MollyL

It's supposed to rain and be windy for a few more hours. East of here, they still have 50MPH winds. The Bay Bridge is still closed.

7:05 am

dcseain

hint for me6.21, pls?

7:06 am

dcseain

i've heard a couple flights leave Washington Dulles Int'l Airport, and a couple cars just went by, so seems streets are mostly clear in my immediate area.

7:07 am

BzznBea

Hopefully, there will be minimal damage. She is moving slowly, so it will probably be from flooding.

7:08 am

dcseain

yes, much flooding has happened to friends in Delaware and New Jersey

7:08 am

BzznBea

We have a beach house rented for middle of Sept. It was right where she made landfall and there was no damage.

7:09 am

dcseain

oh, good, so looks like you'll get your vacation

7:09 am

dcseain

my sister and her family had a beach house for this week, and they had to cancel. Luckily, they had travel insurance, so will get mos of their money back.

7:10 am

dcseain

they'd rented a place in Duck, NC.

7:11 am

BzznBea

Yes. And the OBX will be working hard to get things back up and running since they do not want to lose the revenue from Labor Day weekend.

7:12 am

BzznBea

Hubs just came out on the proch. He said his shoe was on the back porch when he went to bed last night. Curiouser and curiouser.

7:12 am

dcseain

hopefully the bridges are intact and no islands got badly split.

7:12 am

dcseain

well, the winds were something.

7:13 am

dcseain

or a coon carried them off maybe.

7:13 am

BzznBea

We lost power yesterday and I couldn't watch television, so I'm not sure how Duck faired.

7:14 am

BzznBea

Probably a possum. He lost a boot last year and we never found it again.

7:16 am

MollyL

me6/21...m + ***** Lauder, makeup, skin care, etc.

7:17 am

BzznBea

TY, Molly.

7:18 am

dcseain

ty, molly

7:19 am

dcseain

oh, a bus went by, so we seem to have regular Sunday service. Cool. had i slept, i might've bopped into a museum.

7:28 am

uusue2

morning, all!

7:33 am

MollyL

Hey Sue

7:33 am

uusue2

hi, molly! you made it through ok, obviously

7:34 am

MollyL

It was wild between 11 and 4AM. Power was out, high winds, etc. But we are back up and running this morning.

7:35 am

uusue2

oh, good. I figure I'll wait until later this afternoon (or maybe tomorrow) to call my dad. He was all prepared yesterday.

7:39 am

MollyL

From what little news I've heard this morning, it's headed his way. I saw an exit on the Jersey turnpike that was closed because of flooding. They said that has never happened before.

7:39 am

MollyL

I saw that on the news, I meant to say.

7:42 am

uusue2

Yes, that's what it sounds like. He's on top of a rather high ridge, so no risk of flooding (he's a good 100' above the nearest river), and he doesn't have any tall trees near his house, so probably the worst risk is power outages.

7:43 am

uusue2

Although he does have some rather large windows on the east side of his house; if they break it would be pretty messy.

7:44 am

MollyL

Haven't heard much about glass damage from this storm. Mostly trees down and roofing off.

7:44 am

MollyL

Where is Belmar, NJ? I just saw footage of the surf there. Wild.

7:45 am

uusue2

not sure, I'd have to look at the map. We used to go to Point Pleasant when I was little.

7:51 am

MollyL

I'm sure it's the same all along the Jersey coast. The coastal towns are taking the brunt of this storm. Our Ocean City was a mess last night.

7:51 am

JBV

hi everybody - checking in from central NJ - slept through the night, no power failures, two big branches down in yard, one small piece of siding from house, that's it! - is the worst over?

7:54 am

uusue2

looks like you're about half way through it, jbv, the center is close to you now (according to the map)

7:54 am

dan2bit

Apparently dcs, if we get that far this year we could have Hurricane Sean

7:55 am

dan2bit

all good so far in Falls Church - still raining a bit & some breeze

7:55 am

dcseain

was glad to see that it was as gentle over by you as it was here, dan :)

7:55 am

uusue2

ok, gotta go get ready, we are singing in the choir this morning and I haven't gone over the music yet with Frank, see you all later!

7:55 am

Hi everyone.

7:56 am

dcseain

7:56 am

Scrabbler

My sister in Bergen County, NJ lost power at 0730 and the brook in her backyard has turned into a river but is not approaching the house at this time.

7:57 am

dcseain

may it not approach her house

7:57 am

MollyL

Hope she stays dry, Scrabs.

7:59 am

Scrabbler

They bought 500 lbs of sand bags and placed a large tarp along the back of the house. Their house has never experienced flooding and they believe the builder was smart enough to grade the land correctly back there.

7:59 am

MollyL

JBV, glad you slept and had no power failures. I think you may have some more of this yet to come, not sure.

7:59 am

JBV

that's great to hear, Scrabbler!

8:00 am

Scrabbler

JBV, I am glad nothing worse happened. Anybody here from other Babbles in the hurricane's path?

8:01 am

dcseain

lil'monkey is still without power, but okay in Southeastern Virginia.

8:01 am

Scrabbler

Featherbee's National Guard husband is on his way to NYC to assist.

8:02 am

dcseain

the Northern Virginia Urban Search and Rescue team flew to NJ this morning to assist there.

8:02 am

Scrabbler

SeaSpray? Krista? Owl?

8:03 am

MollyL

Sea is pretty close to me. Other than about four hours of howling wind between 11PM and 2AM, we did okay. Minor power problems, a few tree branches down here and there.

8:03 am

dcseain

Krista is okay, so is TempleOwl. Krista my be without power. TO had power as of 1AM

8:05 am

Scrabbler

The NJ, NY + New England folks are getting hit now.

8:05 am

SeaSpray

Good morning all...all ok here...other than lack of sleep from the howling wind and beating rain.

8:05 am

JBV

THe wind was pretty bad here between 11:00 and 12:00 last night, then I fell asleep!

8:06 am

MollyL

Hi Sea, me too.

8:06 am

JBV

RIght now there's a light rain falling, no wind

8:06 am

MollyL

Looks like the power of this storm is over the Jersey coast right now.

8:06 am

Scrabbler

Yay SeaSpray! I have a friend in Easton. Haven't heard from her.

8:07 am

MollyL

Oops, missed Scrabs similar post.

8:08 am

SeaSpray

I have a friend in Solomons Island and haven't heard from them either...hope they are all ok

8:09 am

Scrabbler

BRB, must grab yogurt in kitchen.

8:10 am

dcseain

Power is out in large areas of NC, VA, MD, and DE, and i'm guessing NJ at this point.

8:12 am

SeaSpray

They just reported the Ocean City had 12 inches of rain wow!

8:12 am

MollyL

Sea, the reports from Ocean City and the Delaware beaches were wild last night.

8:13 am

MollyL

It was creepy to see Main Street in Rehoboth totally empty except for the reporter.

8:13 am

JBV

just read an update from NOAA - IRene now a tropical storm

8:13 am

SeaSpray

I have been there when the inlet has flooded and it is not pretty

8:14 am

JBV

I know, Molly, I was marveling at the photos of NYC - same thing, empty streets ! unprecedented

8:14 am

Jeff7

morning all....fun getting the dogs out with Irene around

8:15 am

Scrabbler

Back from kitchen with breakfast available for all: Greek yogurt, fresh blueberries, walnuts, raw almonds, honeydew melon, and fresh coffee. Dig in.

8:15 am

MollyL

They are saying on the news that one reason our area has such a problem with power outages is the vast amount of large trees around here.

8:16 am

SeaSpray

Jeff is that your Papillon? Adorable!

8:16 am

Scrabbler

Hi Jeff. Which part of LI are you in? My friend is in Huntington--north shore.

Awww, bless you. I have always thought I would like to have one. Or have one have me lol

8:17 am

Jeff7

we had to drive to albany ny to get him but it was worth it

8:17 am

Jeff7

he was 3.8 pounds last summer

8:17 am

Jeff7

now he is 7 pounds and perfect

8:18 am

SeaSpray

He certainly looks healthy now

8:18 am

SeaSpray

How did you find him? Internet?

8:18 am

Jeff7

petfinder.org

8:18 am

Jeff7

then we found him at Heaven Sent Animal Rescue

8:18 am

SeaSpray

ah ok, am familiar

8:18 am

Jeff7

they have a kind of agreement with the mills in upstate ny

8:19 am

Jeff7

when they no longer want the dogs for breeding, they put them up for adoption.

8:19 am

Jeff7

he had to learn to walk with a harness, go up and down steps etc

jbv, it depends on which browser you are using; on chrome there is a little wrench in the upper right corner.

8:44 am

9:13 am

9:13 am

why my sister-in-law thinks texting is easier than email, I don't understand

I'll catch up to the 21st century sooner or later

9:13 am

My sister (northern NJ) did that yesterday morning.

9:13 am

oh, sorry to hear that jmc, what's the damage assessment?

9:13 am

jmcnrick

scrabs most people i know under 30 think it is ru** to call or leave a message rather than text

9:14 am

JBV

she emailed me to tell me she was going to text me, I don't get it

9:14 am

not too bad after i babble a bit and drink some coffee i will be sopping up water

9:14 am

9:15 am

she probably thought you wouldn't look for the text if she did warn you it was coming

9:16 am

LOL, here's what she's dealing with: I heard a funny noise coming from my phone and didn't know what it was !! - my son had to tell me it was an incoming text message

9:16 am

jmcnrick

i am checking the radar but i think dc is finishing up the last band so the weather will be great for a while

9:16 am

jmcnrick

well then she was right to email that she was going to text

9:17 am

jmcnrick

i text with my son and some of my former staff all the time and find it convenient

9:17 am

JBV

but I mean why not just continue sending messages back and forth by email - she just wanted to know how I was doing with the storm

9:17 am

JBV

I found it very bothersome actually

9:18 am

doseffing

... but your cell phone will work until the towers blow down ... your computer will go off with the poser

9:41 am

Haz1558

Hello, jmc - I'm trying to work out which word comes from that middle e.

9:41 am

Scrabbler

I recently read that even surge protectors do not give 100% protection.

9:42 am

72 Temple Owl

heck, i just had a little cereal and have an upset stomach. i should not try to eat breakfest, my system can't handle it

9:42 am

jmcnrick

ty haz i think it may be an em but i am not sure

9:42 am

rubyfoo

that's what the tech guy said

9:42 am

Scrabbler

Dan clued em7 and 7. e + word for person that cannot speak BUT place extra vowel in 3rd position

9:42 am

Haz1558

Try em4/5 - much like the em4/6 but ends in a consonant rather than a vowel.

9:42 am

jmcnrick

9:42 am

10:20 am

rururocks

*wonders how many gallons of body paint it would take to cover me?*

10:20 am

mrpresident

hahahaha! oh ruuster! you jester you

10:22 am

mrpresident

you would all be incredulated by what happened to me on the weekend ... with the sports club that my stalker is with

10:22 am

rururocks

uh.. go ahead

10:23 am

mrpresident

i was INVITED to the grounds that the sports club where hosting... (bbq only) to referee children's games.

10:24 am

mrpresident

i turn up... sit in the association tent... and the President of the Hornsby Heights Sports Club (look it up) approaches the President of the KDSA (my association) and says.... ready for this?????

10:24 am

mrpresident

and all this is volunteer work... no pay for Gala Day

10:25 am

mrpresident

He tells the KDSA president that there are 'several members of the sports club that have law suits against me'.... and that they want 'to watch me carefully'.

10:26 am

rururocks

he's mentally unstable ..

10:26 am

mrpresident

1. no one in the sports club has a lawsuit of any kind against me.

10:26 am

rururocks

I am sure everyone sees that

10:26 am

mrpresident

2. the president of HHSC is my stalker's best friend

10:26 am

mrpresident

3. I am asked to leave for my own safety

10:27 am

rururocks

...and what would lickety be doing with a bunch of bombs.. has he written a manifesto?

10:27 am

rururocks

what?

10:27 am

mrpresident

4. I was just devastated by the false and defamtory/descrimination agains me

10:28 am

rururocks

10:28 am

mrpresident

5. I am driven home by a member of the KDSA... (look it up) Kurringai District Soccer Association... and told that it was very discriminating

10:29 am

mrpresident

ruru, I was put on the grounds to REFEREE kids games... for the KDSA... I was not there for the Hornsby Heights Sports Club... they are just hosts for the day

10:29 am

rururocks

oh.. they should have backed you and provided safety

10:30 am

sciencegeek

Mr. P what a nightmare!

10:30 am

mrpresident

but ruuster, you are right... however... I was assured in several emails this week that the HH Sports Club has no issue with me! They are not involved blah blah blah, and then the president of the club says that???

10:30 am

mrpresident

I just cried! It was so nasty and underhanded.

10:31 am

mrpresident

especially as they had said they have nothing against me, and would not be involved with the Prick's case... who are these "several members of the Sports Club" that have law suits against me.... lying bastard

10:31 am

rururocks

I would recommend you not involve yourself in situations that put you anywhere near where this wacko lives and goes... avoid things like this to avoid the drama and trauma..you might sleep better

10:32 am

72 Temple Owl

but they NEED to be involved in this case to the point where they back your work on that day, they cannot have it both ways, your services then leaveyou on your own, re is right, stay away

10:32 am

Dylan was trying to use a stepstool from the bathroom to get his football gear out of the closet. Jordan needed the same stool to climb up to use the toilet. "Mom! make Dylan give me the stool!"

Hello folks

11:51 am

jmcnrick

hootowl

hi River

11:53 am

hootowl

I like that picture jmc

11:53 am

jmcnrick

looks like the only real damage is the ceiling in my recently painted dining room

11:54 am

jmcnrick

i was actually under the very thick plastic tarp and other than the wind being really loud it wasn't nearly that dramatic

11:54 am

jmcnrick

i will go get a pic later to update my icon

11:54 am

hootowl

ceilings are a b**** to fix but better and cheapervthan everything else

11:55 am

jmcnrick

it is still plaster on lathe but i think it will be more than my deductible and will help out my poor construction guy's bottom line

11:56 am

lbdawger

hi everyone, clue for the bottom E for nbt?

11:56 am

12:05 pm

Riverdance

12:05 pm

jmcnrick

12:05 pm

Riverdance

the amount of rain is incredible though

12:05 pm

doseffing

... it'll still bring a tree down ... or take a roof off ... so don't get careless

12:05 pm

Riverdance

was watching the weather channel earlier and there has been some major flooding in areas

12:06 pm

hootowl

Be careful what you ask for River - the rain is doing a lot of damage

12:06 pm

Riverdance

not careless - brought in all light stuff yesterday. Staying inside. We live on a hill so no worry about flooding for us

12:07 pm

hootowl

how about trees close to house?

12:07 pm

big red

di 5/14 pls the first one

12:07 pm

12:09 pm

jmcnrick

yeah i can't wait for my boy to come back with my traveling internet because then i would be okay even with the power out

12:10 pm

Riverdance

I dont have one of those - I am too cheap

12:11 pm

jmcnrick

well i got it because i was always traveling and couldn't count on the schools and house where i was staying to have internet

12:11 pm

jmcnrick

i may have to stop it if the money gets tight

12:11 pm

Riverdance

can you write it off as a business expense?

12:12 pm

jmcnrick

sure but it still costs money ;

12:12 pm

jmcnrick

:-)

12:13 pm

Riverdance

thats true - and they are expensive

12:14 pm

lbdawger

tada! finito! ty everyone for the clues.

12:14 pm

Riverdance

yay lbd

12:15 pm

jmcnrick

whoo hooo lbd!

12:15 pm

lbdawger

those mobile internet thingies are really neat. not too expensive either. you can get a pay as you go if you need to.

12:16 pm

jmcnrick

the major cost was buying the thingy but the monthly cost is not that bad

12:17 pm

jmcnrick

clear has a month to month system so you only pay in the months when you actually use the thing

12:17 pm

lbdawger

i bought one whilst in Denver. Dad's house isn't wired for internet...got a virgin mobile stick. 80 bucks initially, 20 bucks per month or 10 for x amount of bites used.

12:19 pm

lbdawger

others had 2 year contracts...and rather spendy.

12:20 pm

jmcnrick

yeah you have to shop around

12:21 pm

jmcnrick

12:26 pm

jmcnrick

Windy but the rain has stopped, at least for now.

peonies are the stars of my garden!

12:56 pm

Anniebrook

and lovely flowers, my favorite

12:57 pm

Riverdance

its too bad they dont last through the summer...they are so beautiful and gone quickly...seems as soon as they open the thunderstorms hit and break them...we put tomato cages around ours to keep them up

12:57 pm

rubyfoo

it took years for them to blossom; I think the fellow who planted them, did it upside-down

12:57 pm

Mom

they expand each year?

12:57 pm

Mom

lol Ruby

12:57 pm

Riverdance

Hi Sue - dont know for how long though - power keeps blinking

12:59 pm

flosey

I'm going to be back east in October, I wonder if the new people in our old house would mind if I asked for a cuttin from the roots of my old peonies. My grandfather planted them when my father was young - obviously very sturdy roots.

12:59 pm

rubyfoo

we can't grow blue ones here

12:59 pm

Mom

Hi Uusue

12:59 pm

uusue2

12:59 pm

rubyfoo

12:59 pm

Mom

12:59 pm

Riverdance

12:59 pm

Riverdance

1:00 pm

Anniebrook

flosey, lots of goodies in the PB, off you go

1:00 pm

lbdawger

1:00 pm

flosey

1:00 pm

flosey

1:00 pm

1:00 pm

Anniebrook

st6/30, flo

1:00 pm

rubyfoo

it is very acid here and too much trouble to try to change them. I tried it with the pink ones for a couple of years, but it wasn't worth the effort

1:01 pm

uusue2

1:01 pm

uusue2

1:01 pm

flosey

1:01 pm

Riverdance

1:01 pm

lbdawger

i bet lilacs would thrive over there, ruby

1:01 pm

Mom

Hi Lbd

1:02 pm

rubyfoo

oh, I thought it was the other way around -- duh. I have 2 kinds of white and two kinds of pink, but they are on the side of the house, left here by the previous owners

1:02 pm

flosey

1:02 pm

lbdawger

It se 4/5ed like I was going to lose my power so I felt a di 4/5 need to finish the grid early.tr5/12 finishing grid at the flip and was successful. In li 4/5 of giving clues in the chat log, here is a story of clues instead. Although Hurricane Irene has passed, it still looks dr 8/55.But the weather will be dr5/12 this week which is good.The weather will not fo 4/7 clean up plans for those who have to clean the di 5/16 mess that Irene left. Irene slammed into several me5/12 areas on the East Coast. She refused to be mu4/6d. It wasn't a mi 4/6 storm at all.Saw a lot of di4/5 and debris in many places on the news. It's going to cost a pretty di 4/6 for some to clean up. Clean up will be a tough du 4/8 for some. I es6/21 the Coast Guard for doing a great job.I know the people in Virginia have definitely paid their du4/6.They had to endu4/6 an earthquake and then a hurricane.I bet the storm ir4/5 many with its results. Unfortunately,Irene left some lu 5/14 scenes since she mu6/27ed some. Fortunately, the trees by me were pretty st6/30 and did not fall down. In fact, they were st8/50 than the trees on Long Island.Now that storm is over, I hope the Lo 4/5 is not a lu 5/12 and doesn't lu4/5 another storm toward us. Really do not want to have to me 4/5 another storm. Husband is being a ro4/4 tu4/6 and wants the computer. He's always so ru 4/6 when he disrupts my babbling. Don't know anybody ru5/14. I am going or 5/12 some take-out for dinner then I'll have to take a ri4/5 to go get it.I'll be back in fo5/20 minutes to chat and be social.

5:20 pm

I feel your pain...

5:20 pm

Scrabbler

Exactly halfway.

5:22 pm

Riverdance

I am flat broke with my daughter going to college...buying all the dorm stuff and helping with tuition...yikes...hopefully this is it for awhile

5:22 pm

Jillyjill

I listed at halfway...

5:23 pm

Jillyjill

RIver, I am so lucky, my oldest served in the Coast Guard for 6 years...mostly off my budget

5:23 pm

Riverdance

thank you to your son for serving...he deserves his tuition

5:24 pm

Riverdance

I have one going into college and one going into high school....help me lord!

5:24 pm

Jillyjill

And, since it's been so long River, our youngest got a permanent full time chemistry job so now we haven't had to help with his college loans

5:25 pm

MollyL

My place is squeaky clean. No internet connection all day, so we cleaned and cleaned. COMCAST IS EVIL!!!

5:25 pm

Scrabbler

River, will she be working?

5:25 pm

Riverdance

that is awesome.....congrats to your youngest

5:25 pm

Jillyjill

Why is it we think things will get easier when they get older!!??

5:25 pm

Jillyjill

Hi molly! Wanna come here and clean?

5:26 pm

Riverdance

no...we have too much of nothing for her to qualify for a work position

5:26 pm

Soodle

Hello everybody :). Putting sunglasses on, as the shine from Moll's house is blinding me.

5:26 pm

Riverdance

its a really small college so the work positions are limited to those that really need it....ya right...we really need it

5:27 pm

Riverdance

Hello (((Soodle)))

5:27 pm

5:28 pm

Soodle

Hey Jilly ((((()))))

5:28 pm

uusue2

will be leaving shortly for a rehearsal - good thing we have the week so I can recover from the weekend :-P

5:29 pm

Scrabbler

Clue for upper left F?

5:29 pm

wildcat17

fy5/20

5:29 pm

Soodle

River, whats the story in the US about college fees? Are there fees?

5:30 pm

Scrabbler

Monkey has been trying a variety of fy words without success.

5:30 pm

uusue2

double consonant after the y, scrabs, then a vowel

5:30 pm

JenMO16

scrab, what do boxers do, different spellings

5:30 pm

Scrabbler

My monkey and I thank you.

5:30 pm

Soodle

Fy double cons (afternoon beverage) vowel and plural...

5:30 pm

uusue2

soodle, there is both tuition and fees at most places, plus room and board if living on campus

5:31 pm

uusue2

so since my son is attending the college where I teach, I only have to pay half tuition, but full fees (which are much less than tuition), and fortunately he is living at home

5:31 pm

MollyL

Hi Soodle. Feeling better today?

5:32 pm

uusue2

it still costs me about $3000 per semester plus books which can run $400-$500

5:33 pm

Soodle

I'm interested to know how much it costs to send a kid to college over there. There is (allegedly) free education here, but the enrolment fees are â‚¬2,000 and then theres books etc. And, thanks, Molls, normal service has been resumed. :-)

5:34 pm

uusue2

tuition for out of state residents is about twice the in-state tuition (since we are a public school)

5:34 pm

Scrabbler

Depends on whether a public or private college is chosen. The "state"/public schools are much less expensive. There are numerous outstanding state schools here in NY and they are bargains compared to private schools.

5:36 pm

uusue2

we tell our students that, including tuition, fees, room and board, books, and some spending money, they should expect to spend about $15,000 if they live in state

5:37 pm

uusue2

for non-residents it is closer to $25,000

5:37 pm

uusue2

private colleges vary a lot but the top ones are now over $40,000 for everything

5:37 pm

Soodle

For the past 2 years of my daughter's college, I had to pay â‚¬2,000. Then, incredibly, because of all the pay cuts I have taken, as a public servant, my income has taken us beneath the threshold, and all of a sudden Sarah qualifies for a grant. Not only the 2K, but she will also get a handout of â‚¬800 per semester. I am still in shock. But its a good shock!!!!

5:38 pm

Scrabbler

Yes, a nice shock.

5:38 pm

uusue2

quite a bargain compared to anywhere here, soodle!!! even without the grants!!

5:39 pm

uusue2

anyway I am off to rehearsal, may be back later to finish if I am feeling energetic

5:39 pm

Scrabbler

With 72 left I have lost interest in this grid. Maybe I'll be back later.

5:40 pm

Soodle

Like I said, there is 'allegedly' free education here. My younger daughter, who is still in HIgh School - cost me â‚¬800 in books alone. Her uniform was another â‚¬240, her bus fare until Christmas was â‚¬350. Free education???

5:41 pm

MollyL

<---Glad her kids are out of college. Youngest is going to trade school. A bit of our local damage...
http://tinyurl.com/3ngyb3a

5:42 pm

Riverdance

had to stir....my daughters tuition is $28,000 us a year plus anothe $3500 in supplies as it is an art school...She ordered her books on line on sale through amazon and such and they cost about $300 for the first semester...its never ending

5:43 pm

Riverdance

scrabbs...I agree it is not an exciting grid

5:44 pm

Soodle

Good grief. I think now is a good time to stop moaning about the cost of educating the kids. River, thats incredible money.

5:45 pm

Riverdance

plus all the dorm room expenses the first year...wont have to buy all that stuff next year....credit cards are maxed out and so are we...glad we have another 4 years for Keith

5:46 pm

Minveryork

Power flickered and lost internet for a little bit. Now I am back. I was answering Kaplan's question. Is she still here?I'm glad I entered my last word not long ago.

5:46 pm

Riverdance

we are paying the whole fare.....she has student loans of about $12K...we just cant do it as much as we want

5:46 pm

Riverdance

*not

5:46 pm

Minveryork

What is with this wind?Thought Irene left NY already.

5:47 pm

Soodle

Sheesh River.

5:47 pm

Jillyjill

From what I was watching Minv, it is very large if only a tropical storm...

5:47 pm

Riverdance

keeps circling around Min...

5:48 pm

MollyL

Min, it's been windy on and off here today, although the storm is long past us. The cable companies are just using any excuse in the book to suspend service. They are pathetic.

5:48 pm

Riverdance

calm here right now..but I am sure it will get worse...got to go supper is ready

5:48 pm

Jillyjill

where are you molly?

5:48 pm

MollyL

30 miles outside of DC.

5:50 pm

Soodle

<----- Still in utter shock at the cost of educating kids in the States. (Taking deep breaths into a brown paper bag) I'm so glad Irene wasn't quite as bad as anticipated.

5:50 pm

MollyL

My son is bummed at the idea of his first day of classes and first day of school year job (he works in a public school) being canceled tomorrow. They have still not made a decision whether or not to open our county schools.

5:51 pm

MollyL

Soodle, the truly sad thing is, the cost of a college education is exorbitant and a college degree will get you nothing job wise anymore.

5:52 pm

Jillyjill

Yep soodle, quite the cost...even here in Montana, tuition room board and books can cost over $20,000 per year

5:53 pm

MollyL

Job ads here that "require a college degree" are paying not much more than minimum wage. Which is why both of my older sons, who have college degrees are doing nothing related to the field they graduated in.

5:53 pm

Jillyjill

Ok, back to babble...can someone clue the ru6/21...beating monkeys hasn't helped

6:13 pm

MollyL

I cooked on the grill tonight too Min. It was the plan in case of power outage, so even though power is on, we did it anyway.

6:14 pm

Yes, our power is on for now, but still grilling outside.

I (metaphorically) killed the fatted calf this evening for my son's homecoming. Roast beef, Yorkshire pudding, mashed potatoes horsedradish sauce baby corn and green beans. Diet? what diet?

6:17 pm

carleekat

oh yummmmmmmmmm

6:18 pm

MollyL

Yeah. Keep in mind that the area I live in has lots of very old trees. Dan was floored by the trees when he moved down here. He said the trees up in Canada are a whole different ball game.

6:18 pm

carleekat

when hugo made it up to us we had 2 century old maples come down...one crushed a car parked on the road

6:19 pm

Kaplan the Magne

These are interesting mixed metaphors Molly. Floored by trees? Trees a ball game?

6:19 pm

MollyL

Mmm, Soodle puts out a good spread.

6:20 pm

I have to say - dinner this evening was worth every single calorie!

Always wonder why those who do not smoke get lung cancer. I wonder if it is from breathing second hand smoke.They all say 2nd hand is worse for you anyway.

9:28 pm

uusue2

lung cancer was rare before smoking was common, but it wasn't unheard of; I was reading a study of the DNA of lung cancer cells and the ones due to smoking are different from the ones that nonsmokers get

hey, jilli :-)

11:41 pm

jillibus

Was worried about family in Tadoussac, Quebec, a little west of Maine. Phoned -- no answer, left a message. Phoned another part of the family, all were home and safe, but the lake had overflowed and the wind was threatening to blow the roof off. Waited a bit, worrying that son and d-i-l had gone kayaking, phoned again, no answer. Left another message. A few minutes ago (their midnight-ish) son phoned. Had been watching a movie and didn't hear the phone the first time. Went to bed. Got up for a pee and got the message after the second time. All well. Phew!
