12:24 am

jesdraggon

12:24 am

cosdem

found an re 5 for that r thanks anyway

12:24 am

mrpresident

12:24 am

negativeneil

gremm's probably better.

12:24 am

jillibus

mrp -- you're BAD!!!

12:24 am

gremlinn

who was that other guy who was even faster than me?

12:25 am

jesdraggon

12:25 am

jillibus

chuggaboom, grem

12:25 am

rururocks

chuggaboom

12:25 am

gremlinn

no, someone who was only here occasionally

12:25 am

mrpresident

well, I thought it was clever! LOL

12:25 am

gremlinn

yeah, chugga

12:25 am

jillibus

Hi ruru -- snap!

12:25 am

cosdem

statd for the c?

12:25 am

negativeneil

Is that the one Laura told me finished the entire grid in like 5 minutes... which is of course, humanly impossible if you're finding and typing in the words yourself? Or was that someone else?

12:25 am

dizgrannie

cy 5

12:26 am

gremlinn

I think he beat me and he didn't even register so didn't have the Tile Stats to use

12:26 am

jillibus

phant -- dreck

12:26 am

mrpresident

hi ruuster ((hugs))

12:26 am

cosdem

thanks diz

12:26 am

rururocks

no.. he did do it in 5 and a half minutes 200 words

12:26 am

cosdem

nd the R in last column for nbt?

12:26 am

dizgrannie

yw

12:26 am

negativeneil

That's nearly PB for you, jilli.

12:26 am

mrpresident

dreck is always in the grid jilli, just in different format

12:26 am

jillibus

prbably, neil -- can't think of anyone faster

12:26 am

jillibus

so true, mrp, lol!

12:27 am

mrpresident

hi diz :)
hi cos :)

12:27 am

negativeneil

Ok, ruru... doesn't something about that seem completely wrong, somehow? You can't type that many word into the grid in 5 and 1/2 minuts. Never mind finding them first.

12:27 am

cosdem

nevr mind

12:27 am

cosdem

nevr mind

12:27 am

negativeneil

Words, even. Geez!

12:27 am

cosdem

nbt

12:27 am

mrpresident

dero is so a word!!

12:27 am

Jellen

Could you give the stats for me, cos? Need both...

12:27 am

gremlinn

I could type 400-500 words in that time if I had them in front of me to type in

12:28 am

gremlinn

And I think the fastest typists are probably around 250 wpm?

12:28 am

jillibus

wtg cos

12:28 am

negativeneil

Yes, if you didn't have to think. Sure, I could do that. I'm a very fast typist since I earn my living in part, doing that. But to find the words and enter them in that time? No.

12:28 am

mrpresident

like narco... short for narcotics...
dero is short for derelict... a term of endearment here

12:28 am

cosdem

the 9 is an ir?

12:29 am

negativeneil

Most people couldn't type them all into the grid in that time, plus find them. So I think he isn't finding them.

12:29 am

rururocks

I think he is just a word savant.. gremlin

12:29 am

mrpresident

yes cos

12:29 am

negativeneil

Logical conclusion.

12:29 am

negativeneil

I think he is something else.

12:29 am

gremlinn

he is...I've played a few people around that level of skill

12:29 am

mrpresident

if he isn't finding them, what is he doing then?

12:29 am

negativeneil

Well I'm considered one but it takes me about 20-30 minutes to finish most of these grids.

12:30 am

cosdem

nbt/nbs

12:30 am

jesdraggon

obviously an alien-made android come bent on world domination.

12:30 am

Hell if I know how he does it... some kind of software program would be my guess?

12:30 am

mrpresident

i want to be one of those jes!!

12:30 am

gremlinn

I doubt it, he's just one of the best

12:30 am

meliae

I want world peace, and peace in the chog.....

12:31 am

negativeneil

Right.

12:31 am

negativeneil

There is, far as I know, meliae?

12:31 am

negativeneil

Ummm, not world.

12:31 am

jillibus

Peace on all of you too ;-)

12:31 am

rururocks

I don't think he was a cheat neil.. he did get stuck on one grid

12:32 am

meliae

lmao Jill

12:32 am

negativeneil

I think sadly that's a little much to hope for.

12:32 am

negativeneil

He did?

12:32 am

mrpresident

i am a cheat!!... I ask for clues all the time! to some, that is cheating

12:32 am

negativeneil

Haha!

12:32 am

gremlinn

nah, not here

12:32 am

rururocks

oh.. if those are the rules... I'm the biggest cheat

12:32 am

mrpresident

but, we are here and entering words and I am bloody good at finding compound words ... isn't that right friends?

12:32 am

negativeneil

Well I guess it could be, but it isn't the same as being given the word... you still have to think a little!

12:32 am

meliae

well we wont talk about 'those' people lol

12:33 am

mrpresident

first word I saw way de7

12:33 am

jillibus

you are indeed, mrp -- I'm in awe

12:33 am

12:33 am

rururocks

12:33 am

VolleymomDee

I'm a cheat too, I admit it. Hi ru!!

12:33 am

negativeneil

Yes you are, mrp!

12:33 am

mrpresident

!! thanks ruuster!!

12:33 am

negativeneil

Ok fine... we're all cheats. :P

12:34 am

mrpresident

**bows to all the cheats** LOL!

12:34 am

jillibus

How can you cheat here? It's not a competition.

12:34 am

meliae

I remember waaaaay back when, and Mrp had her arm surgery and she was sooo loopy it was hilarious ((HUGS))

12:34 am

rururocks

I am so average compared to others. but I do get it done

12:34 am

rururocks

I remember that too.

12:34 am

meliae

and she kept putting the words in the chog, I think she spent that whole recovery in the PB lol

12:35 am

mrpresident

oh darling! loopy was the drugs!! I was so off my face! LOL... down at the hospital computer keying away

12:35 am

jillibus

I use every help available, so what?

12:35 am

negativeneil

Well I'm having a more difficult time with this one... not even halfway yet believe it or not. Haven't listed yet though. May need to soon.

12:35 am

rururocks

wishes I had mr. P's drugs right now

12:35 am

mrpresident

there are some wayward words in this grid!! difficult is my conclusion on the rating of this one

12:35 am

meliae

I use very cheat available shhhh I even use more words, perish the thought!!!

12:36 am

jillibus

I have all of 34 words but have enjoyed the banter, which is half the fun here -- maybe more than half for me.

12:36 am

negativeneil

There are.

12:36 am

gremlinn

The ir9 means "A region that is culturally or historically related to one nation but is subject to a foreign government"

12:36 am

gremlinn

I had never heard of it before...

12:36 am

meliae

I agree Jilli, I love you all so much, even ruru, but dont tell him that! ~grins~

12:38 am

gremlinn

12:38 am

meliae

lol ruru ((HUGS))

12:38 am

jillibus

good for you, mel -- I do too. First I try for nbt, then nbs, trying not to list until then but sometimes doing so, Then I go through the list until I'm stuck, looking for clues all along, then go to morewords. Everyone has a different way of going about it.

12:48 am

rururocks

12:48 am

Jellen

Oh, if I do get #1 as well, which color did you like better? The black or the anthracite?

12:48 am

rururocks

BLACK

12:49 am

gremlinn

I like black!

12:49 am

Jellen

That's pretty funny, neil...

12:49 am

jillibus

Your dad sounds like fun, neil, like my late lamented silly hubby

12:49 am

jesdraggon

12:49 am

jesdraggon

Amos, cat i grew up with, went to sleep on my chest every night from age 4 -- it was hard to breathe. By age 7 i could breathe. At age 14 they measured my lung capacity and asked if i were from Denver, as i had a lung capacity on par with someone that was from that altitude or higher. ALl thanks to 16 pounds of cat on my chest for years on end as a youth. LOL

what was that you wrote in Hebrew, neil?

1:38 am

hootowl

I never heard any of my friends use the word - I've only read it.

1:39 am

mab

I used to call my boyfriend my shabbas goy, meaning a non-jew who does things for jews that jews can't do on shabbat.

1:39 am

negativeneil

"Yes I can speak and write that too."

1:39 am

hootowl

That's not fair is it mab?

1:39 am

negativeneil

yes, lights the lights.

1:39 am

negativeneil

Candles.

1:39 am

mab

it's a loophole...

1:40 am

hootowl

hanukah

1:40 am

rururocks

it's just a minora distraction

1:40 am

hootowl

oh all right - how do you spell it? I've seen it 3-4 ways

1:40 am

jillibus

My Jewish pal here says it's Chanukah

1:40 am

negativeneil

Menorah. :P

1:41 am

hootowl

I think I better go to bed. You have distracted me enough!

1:41 am

rururocks

damn

1:41 am

jillibus

oh ruru, I thought you were going to ice your knee

1:41 am

rururocks

I'm going.. im going

1:41 am

negativeneil

There's no correct English spelling of tranliterated Hebrew or Yiddish, jilli. It can be hanuka, hanukka, hanukah, hanukkah, or any of those with a c in front as well.

1:41 am

negativeneil

And your Jewish pal should know that.

1:42 am

negativeneil

Transliterated, even. My typing's on it's way to hell in a handbasket. I think that means I need sleep.

1:42 am

jillibus

She just said that was the way she had been taught to spell it in Englaish, neil.

1:42 am

mab

no, it's more like turning electrical lights on and off, and other appliances. or carrying, or a lot of stuff that jews are prohibited from doing.

1:42 am

negativeneil

Well we see it written any of those wayas.

1:42 am

negativeneil

yes mab, it's all of that.

1:42 am

mab

if they are very observant. there's a spectrum

1:43 am

jillibus

*English, I can't type either.

1:43 am

negativeneil

But that's what I immediately think of.

1:43 am

hootowl

Ok - I'm finished. Happy new year and good night!

1:43 am

mab

i don't actually need you to confirm my assertions, neil

1:43 am

mab

sorry. that was snarky.

1:43 am

jillibus

peace.

1:43 am

negativeneil

Well gee, sorry I spoke I'm sure. Hope your night improves. Bye!

1:43 am

mab

shalom

1:44 am

mab

i said i was sorry

Jellen

Ooh, got one! re 6/27...past tense of the color

1:52 am

Jellen

No worries, mab...

1:52 am

meliae

I am horrible at figuring out which words go with which tile when there are several together like that you would think after so many years I would get the hang of it

1:52 am

jillibus

That's not the 2nd column R, jellen :-(

1:53 am

meliae

re 4/5 perhaps?

1:53 am

Jellen

re + double consonant + past tense suffix? Pretty sure it is...

1:53 am

meliae

nope never mind that one works on the 1st column r

jillibus

2:10 am

mab

m9f9l

oh??

2:15 am

m9f9l

what?

2:15 am

m9f9l

did it involve shoes??

2:15 am

jillibus

Is see that se6 is a nautical term which usually contains a C -- it's the past tense of " the upward heaving of a vessel pitching"

2:15 am

Jellen

LOL, yes!

2:15 am

jillibus

hi m9

2:18 am

jillibus

7:21 am

72 Temple Owl

If you have your settings locked down, meaning nobody is allowed to see your profile, wall, info, etc. unless they're friends, then it should be ok. you can also make it so you don't show up on searches.

8:50 am

panz was pretty filthy too...not exactly sure why really..got alot of loose fur out of him too......he likes rolling in the mint i have growing out back...but the mint was over powered by the axe he got into this am

8:50 am

rubyfoo

8:50 am

carleekat

( my minty puppy )

8:50 am

rubyfoo

I comb out the loose fur almost every day but wind up with black, greasy hands

8:51 am

axe is a popular teen / young man body spray...he bit into the aerosol can my son has... i was still sleeping...

8:51 am

ok, will look

8:56 am

Haz1558

da8 - past tense of da6/24 - usually stuff associated with animals but Scots use it as a verb for a stroll. The Scotsman da8/55 down the hill to get his kilt repleated.

8:57 am

periwinkle

ty for da8 never would have used it as a verb

8:57 am

Mom

got the da 8/55 thank you Carlee and Haz

8:57 am

8:57 am

8:57 am

rubyfoo

ty for the 8's!

8:58 am

rubyfoo

see you later, dinner to cook

8:58 am

Haz1558

da6 can either be almost a dandruff thing or that Scots stroll. Or you can be angry and get your da6 up (presumably it's to do with the animal context)

Canadians do the Queen's birthday in May ... because the old name for the day was Victoria Day ... and she was born May 24th ...

9:11 am

... heavens ... we still call it Victoria Day ... even if most people don't know who Victoria was

9:11 am

Not any more. Businesses used to close for 3 hours at noon on Good Friday, but no one observes that any more.

Most places still do close on Christmas Day, although some are open for part of the day...and of course, anything with "station" in the name is most likely open

you have an axe up your nose! of course it will be painful!

9:17 am

java2

That can't be a good smell! Even when it's not concentrated...

9:17 am

doseffing

... but I'm going to bet that you don't have the porportionately large south asian, chinese and muslims populations we do ... and unlike the US ... in the census the number of Canadians identifying themselves as Christion is less than 50 % ... (they'll say Christian extraction)

9:18 am

mrpresident

true, our country is mostly christian.

9:18 am

java2

LOL Mrp...and that was a good thing to do, Crossy.

9:20 am

java2

I don't know how many people admit to being any religion any more. And it's disturbing. If you can't commit to something, you won't commit to anything. "All it takes for evil to win is for good people to do nothing" - that's paraphrased rather poorly, but I think y'all get the idea

9:21 am

crosshair

well java,i believe in god and jesus,but i do it with my family and in my own way,cause some of the fan clubs out there are insane!

9:23 am

crosshair

because you are in church whenever 2 or more of you are gathered in his name.

9:24 am

my "tithe" does not go to the beautification of some church,but to the cancer hospital childrens ward.i figure more of my cash gets to the source that way

9:24 am

java2

Yup, insanity is out there - it always has been. Witch burnings are a good example, but Christians (and others) have been killed in some rather gruesome ways. You're right about 2 or more, too. We just re** that yesterday.

9:26 am

I'm confident enough is my church and the larger church body to give there. And then I carefully choose other organizations - local ones - for additional giving. I'm fortunate enough to personally know people involved in organizations, so I know exactly where my contributions are going.

sometimes you have to coach it on sinmgle words for a bit

10:37 am

car.eeyore

Its a program in which you dictate and it automatically types what you say. I do medical transcription for a living and had been toying with this idea for some time. Now that I have done it, I wish I had it years ago!

our inuit use the term "flense" as well..but they only hunt for special occasions and it is tightly controlled

1:46 pm

flosey

I'll never forget our first day there - oldest son was 3 and another a little older, boy by put his arm around his shoulder and led him into the local sand community box (my son was a bit shy about crashing the new gang)

1:46 pm

sadie52

I love the summers off we had a neighborhood full of kids and we spent mornng til evening playing too

1:46 pm

dcseain

we got bused because of the hills :) to keep us from walking to end of street, down hill, across creek and up hill, which beat down the long hil, half up the next, down, up, up, up, up to the school on the streets.

1:46 pm

1:47 pm

flosey

1:47 pm

sadie52

thats the one thing i have against filling up all the childrens time with sports or whatever they have no time to just be kids

1:48 pm

sadie52

it seems we push push push them to learn more do more andno time for real fun

1:48 pm

dcseain

1:49 pm

Nef

hi again. We lived on a hill and both the grade school and then the high school were on hills; so we walked uphill both ways to and from the schools. My kids hated it when I made them walk the 2 (or the 8 blocks when they missed their buses in HS) flat blocks

1:50 pm

LeslieAnn

1:50 pm

dcseain

1:55 pm

Boobear

Not getting the da 8

1:55 pm

dcseain

not a compound, and the ir is not a prefix

1:56 pm

sprite

good evening all

Nef

I can't even think of how to clue it.... dc is doing his best

1:56 pm

sadie52

1:56 pm

Nef

Boo, I'm allergic to cat da---- +pt

1:57 pm

flosey

ir9 - a region that is under the political jurisdiction of one nation but is related to another by reason of cultural, historical, and ethnic ties.
sounds like Canada - and perhaps US as well

1:57 pm

sprite

good evening all

1:57 pm

2:03 pm

dcseain

2:03 pm

Nef

dr 5/16, after washing clothes, you use this machine

2:04 pm

LeslieAnn

and after washing, you put clothes in the dr***, i think that's the three d's on the right

2:04 pm

dcseain

it is indeed, Sprite

2:04 pm

Nef

yep; that's it

2:05 pm

flosey

we no longer have a pizza outlet!! that was so handy, but closed for good, no idea what is going to happen there now

2:05 pm

dcseain

last night it did not take the clothes dr5, though it was degrading then.

2:05 pm

dcseain

thanks, LeslieAnn

2:06 pm

sprite

.....2 more Ks.... Why can't the Ks ever be easy? Like Kiss, kisser, kissed, kissing....

2:06 pm

Boobear

Gc Leslie

2:06 pm

dcseain

do you have the most k?

2:06 pm

dcseain

the ke4 apparent?

2:06 pm

LeslieAnn

haha i was thinking of you when doing k words sprite

2:07 pm

dcseain

the apple ko4?

2:07 pm

LeslieAnn

apple ko** substitute k for c

2:07 pm

sprite

nope, that was the missing one. Thank you. K dead.

2:07 pm

dcseain

:)

2:07 pm

sprite

lol LeslieAnn, my brain dies when it sees a K in the grid.

2:08 pm

Boobear

Ke5 is past tense of ke4

2:10 pm

flosey

quick question, if I may? hubby's rain jacket (100% polyvinyl chloride) says hand wash, is there any reason why it can't go in washer using cold water?

2:10 pm

Boobear

No ..

2:11 pm

sprite

I think if you use a short program, it should work.

2:11 pm

dcseain

cold water, on the gentlest cycle, drip dry should be fine

2:11 pm

flosey

ty Boobear, and Sprite, going to do it

2:11 pm

Boobear

Cold water doesn't hurt anything..

2:11 pm

java2

do you have a front loader or top loader? front loaders are more gentle and don't agitate

2:11 pm

Boobear

Yw

2:11 pm

flosey

I can hand it outside, thanks everyone

2:11 pm

flosey

front loader

2:11 pm

flosey

tytyty

2:12 pm

java2

should be OK

2:12 pm

sprite

:)

2:12 pm

Nef

flosey, maybe put it in a hosery bag (or an old pillowcase would do too) so it won't get tangled; that should help protect it

2:12 pm

BzznBea

I'd wash it with a couple of bath towels.

2:12 pm

sprite

good advice indeed

2:13 pm

dcseain

hm. smelling like rain.

2:13 pm

BzznBea

And I would not let it got through the spin cycle.

2:13 pm

java2

my front loader has a hand wash cycle. it's very gentle and you can choose the speed of the spin cycle - or have no spin. you might want to stop the spin

2:14 pm

dcseain

the hand wash cycle on our front loader does wonders on lots of delicate things, including on the spin

2:14 pm

MollyL

It's been raining here off an on all afternoon.

2:14 pm

2:20 pm

BzznBea

2:20 pm

dcseain

oh, you're in WI, so that makes sense.

2:21 pm

java2

yeah, and it's only about 2 hours north...

2:21 pm

BzznBea

It will probably be like wrestling a greased pig...

2:21 pm

sprite

lollll Bea.... ok, the image is a movie now...

2:21 pm

java2

um...well, yes

2:22 pm

dcseain

here, we get first frost in late Oct to middle Nov avg is around 25th of Oct. Halloween is either 40 or 80, never know from year to year.

2:22 pm

BzznBea

And it is not for dinner tonight. Going into the freezer for bbq sandwiches as a meal when we are at the beach in a couple of weeks.

2:22 pm

java2

(to the wrestling thing, that is)

2:22 pm

jesdraggon

that's about when we get first snow most years, dc

2:22 pm

dcseain

nice, bea :) good to plan ahead.

2:22 pm

sprite

....cooling off after the wrestling... makes sense

2:22 pm

dcseain

we rarely get snow before Jan here

2:23 pm

dcseain

i thought white Xmases were a myth well into my 20s.

2:23 pm

java2

there are only 3 months in the year when we have never had snow

2:23 pm

BzznBea

Okay...Here I go!*poof*

2:23 pm

sadie52

I like fall its cool colors are pretty

2:23 pm

2:24 pm

dcseain

2:24 pm

sadie52

yep sprite

2:24 pm

java2

2:24 pm

dcseain

or double the consonant after changing last vowel

2:24 pm

sprite

I love arboretums! There is one in Southern California near the Santa Anita Race Track that we have enjoyed for several of our generations.

5:21 pm

rururocks

I love masoleums...I"m dying to get there

Hi Ru

5:22 pm

rururocks

El Lurko strikes again!

MollyL

Who was that masked man?

5:24 pm

uusue2

I just posted a bunch of pictures on Facebook of it. And hi, molly, gmere, and ruru!

5:25 pm

uusue2

"it" being the arboretum, and especially the prairie, which is where we spent most of our time.

5:26 pm

MollyL

Glad you had a nice time there Sue. Good day for something like that. We will all be shivering inside the house soon enough.

5:27 pm

uusue2

It was cool but sunny, and we were getting enough exercise to stay warm.

5:28 pm

BzznBea

I won the in the match between me and the Boston pork butt!

5:29 pm

uusue2

5:29 pm

MollyL

Thank God you posted that Bea. I wasn't going to sleep tonight not knowing. : P

5:30 pm

BzznBea

That's why I posted, Molly. Knew you were dying to know!

5:30 pm

MollyL

Sue, Bea posted earlier that she had to go wrestle the resting pork butt and...well you know where minds went.

5:31 pm

BzznBea

One beach meal down...

5:32 pm

uusue2

ah hah. That makes it all perfectly clear now.

5:33 pm

MollyL

I love the beach after Labor Day. Hope you have a good time.

5:34 pm

BzznBea

As long as there are no storms coming through. I really wish all five of the kids and their SO's were coming. But it will only be two of them this year.

5:35 pm

rururocks

wonder if there is an active pork butt to be found?

5:35 pm

uusue2

probably the pigs have them, ruru

5:35 pm

BzznBea

Not here. Mine is chopped and in the freezer.

5:35 pm

rururocks

we will have no swine before its time?

5:36 pm

MollyL

I would make a plumber joke, but don't want to offend any lurking plumbers.

5:36 pm

rururocks

gosh Molly If I had to worry about offending someone.. I"d never say anything...lol

5:37 pm

BzznBea

Se6/24! Really?

5:38 pm

MollyL

I know Bea, seriously. What dickshunary did that come from?

5:38 pm

rururocks

yeah.. I wondered about that one too bzz

5:38 pm

uusue2

an obsolete one, presumably; wouldn't be the first obsolete word that Enable accepts

5:39 pm

BzznBea

And it won't allow the unobsolete ones.

5:39 pm

BzznBea

Enable needs to update.

5:40 pm

uusue2

ya think :-P

5:40 pm

jillibus

se6/24 is a nautical term, usually spelt with a c inserted after the s

5:40 pm

jillibus

Hi all!

5:41 pm

BzznBea

Oh, Sue...that is a favorite saying of a dear friend of mine from home. I miss her so.

5:42 pm

uusue2

hi, Jilli!

5:43 pm

uusue2

and Bea, I am sorry - did not mean to remind you of your friend :-(

5:43 pm

BzznBea

And then there is that dear friend that says everything is "Peachy Queen" and "Not the sharpest bulb in the drawer."

5:44 pm

rururocks

my mother used to say her arthuritis used to bother her

5:44 pm

BzznBea

Not a problem, Sue. I think of them all the time.

5:45 pm

BzznBea

I am told that there is a London broil resting in my kitchen now.

5:46 pm

jillibus

Hi ruru -- I see your neighbours are from Pandora

5:46 pm

BzznBea

Guess it is time for dinner...*poof*

5:46 pm

jillibus

5:47 pm

rururocks

pandora?

5:47 pm

jillibus

I got just over halfway last night and that's enough for me. Just dropped in to see if soodle's here yet -- has she been?

5:48 pm

MollyL

She was here yesterday, before she went out to celebrate.

5:49 pm

jillibus

I guess you didn't see the Avatar movie and the blue Na'vi people, ruru?

5:49 pm

rururocks

nope... ya got me on that one jilli

5:50 pm

jillibus

The Na'vis live on the planet Pandora, part of the Alpha Centauri system.

5:50 pm

jillibus

Lovely movie.

5:51 pm

jillibus

Thanks, Molly. Sorry I missed her.

5:51 pm

MollyL

*Needed to refresh. Couldn't figure out what PeeWee had to do with Pandora*

5:51 pm

Jeff7

clue for that se 6/24 pls

5:52 pm

rururocks

past tense of not to receive

5:52 pm

Minveryork

An se6/24 word is past tense of the se4/5 word Jeff7

5:52 pm

Jeff7

had that one....must be dialectal

5:56 pm

jillibus

se6/24 usually starts sc and: "As a noun, it is the surge of a wave or the sea; as a verb, it means to pitch or surge up in a heavy sea."

5:57 pm

jillibus

And now I'm goping to go outside and enjoy a lovely summery afternoon for a bit. See you well after the flip -- bridge night.

5:58 pm

jillibus

*going

5:59 pm

jillibus

Jeff, it's a nautical term.

6:00 pm

MollyL

It's a nautical term with the C in it, not the way it is here.

6:00 pm

jillibus

I guess I'm talking to myself. Bye!

6:00 pm

6:47 pm

periwinkle

I will keep looking. I went to Michaels yesterday and they just had blocks of beeswax. I made lots of candles back in the 70's :)

6:48 pm

BzznBea

Hobby Lobby?

6:48 pm

6:49 pm

6:53 pm

MollyL

Peri, have you looked for sheets of beeswax on line?

6:53 pm

periwinkle

yes, Molly

6:54 pm

periwinkle

I am checking prices. would like to get more than one colore but they only come in packs of one color

6:54 pm

MollyL

Cad, Desperado is a great song. Hotel California is the one I burned out on.

6:55 pm

MollyL

Knorr Beeswax has them so you can pick your colors.

6:56 pm

periwinkle

have not treid them, ty Molly, will check after I finish this grid. just wondered if anyone had experience with any of the companies

6:56 pm

BzznBea

Peri, will the wax colors mix when melted? You can get primary colors and then make the colors you want.

6:56 pm

periwinkle

with the sheeets you just roll the wax around the wick. no melting

6:57 pm

periwinkle

very easy and they are pretty. will only use cootton wicks too. was also thinking of making soy cancles. there the wax would melt

6:57 pm

periwinkle

cotton even

6:57 pm

BzznBea

Seems like it takes all the fun out of candle making. =)

6:58 pm

periwinkle

if I lived alone I would make my own candles by melting the wax. as I said, did a lot of that years ago. but this is not my house and nor sure of the others would be happy about it :(

6:59 pm

Here is something that will make your eyeballs&brain spin even more Jellen!

7:24 pm

Minveryork

Here is a story of clues for today's da4/5: September 5, 2011.Da4/5 from our te4/4 scores shows that the students te 6/21 very poorly last year. They er 5/12 in many ways. My Principal was very ir4/5 by the low te4/4 scores. I dr 5/14 all of the te 4/4 prep I'll have to do with my students. I am not ke 4/8 on teaching to the te 4/4. I de 6/21 doing that! I believe it is not the ke 7/44 idea to do that. Te4/4 prep is so dr 4/5! It drives me insa4/4! My district seems to think that if they or5/12 the right te 4/4 prep books, students will pass the exams. The superintendant doesn't care if a student knows how to re 4/5 or not, he wants all students to score a 3 or a 4 on the exams.He doesn't realize how many non-re6/21 we have in the district We do an over abundance of te4/4 prep to get these students re 5/16 for the state exams. In fact, we do so much that by the time students take state exams they are so nervous,that they can't do it with ea4/4 My students are very ne5/16 children and they have alot of personal issues that hinder their education.It sa 6/24s me that administrators care more about te 4/4 scores than what students might be dealing with at home. Some of my students don't care about doing well on the te4/4, they just want some te6/21 loving care, which they don't get at home. I wonder if they do as much te 4/4 prep on the west coast as they do here on the ea4/4 coast. In New York,students take the state te 4/4s every year during the Spring after Ea4/4. Now my story has en 5/14. I ne 4/5 to go eat some dinner.I haven't ea5/10 dinner yet,so I'm going to get out of this se 4/4, st 5/12 up, and go to an ea 6/24 and be an ea5/10.Hope I can ta5/10 a big juicy steak. I'll be back later or I might watch TV inst5/12.
