9:23 am

so when do people usually list? I am curious.

9:23 am

hurshy

everyone has their own method.

9:23 am

grannyrose

when they run out of inspiration, viajes

9:23 am

hurshy

the soonest i will go is 80% and that is if it is a really really really awful grid.

9:23 am

Uneaixoise

when you . . . just . . . can't . . . take . . . it . . . any . . . more . . .

9:24 am

viajes

that's when I do it! when I start to get frustrated and feel like I have found the real words... though I try to have at least half first

9:24 am

Uneaixoise

:-D

9:24 am

grannyrose

i usually list once i have ben thru the grid once.

9:25 am

hurshy

even going at 90% like today, i'm currently saying, "really?? you missed THAT?"

9:26 am

grannyrose

lol, especially the plurals....don't you just hate it when you miss a plural...or a past tense...

9:26 am

viajes

I often miss words that have been in other grids recently because I think I've already entered them

9:27 am

Uneaixoise

same here, viajes!

9:27 am

viajes

sometimes I'll list and just see "oh, I missed a whole bunch of st's" and then I just look for ST's for awhile without looking at the list... it sounds like you guys wait longer than me :P

9:28 am

grannyrose

whoot, 6 to go, all w's

9:30 am

hurshy

i guess it all depends which feeling you hate more - being stuck, or finding out how easy the words you missed were.

there is even a company now ,manufacturing and selling soapstone "ice cubes" you freeze them and use them like regular ice,but they do not water down the drink.when you are done,just wash them and freeze them again..give a whole new meaning to "on the rocks please"

3:07 pm

uusue2

so my son's laptop got run over by a car last night. Sigh.

3:08 pm

sprite

what? That is pretty special...

3:08 pm

uusue2

He can still use it if he hooks it up to the TV but the screen and the CD drive are broken.

3:08 pm

uusue2

It was 4 years old so probably about time for a new one anyway, but yet another expense I wasn't really counting on...

3:09 pm

sprite

I kind of wonder how he managed to do that

3:09 pm

sprite

no insurance?

3:09 pm

uusue2

the other kid's car insurance might cover it; we'll see.

3:10 pm

uusue2

but my son might be at fault for leaving his black backpack in the parking lot at night.

3:12 pm

sprite

quite frustrating, uusue :(

3:12 pm

uusue2

He'd leaned his backpack against a car as they were loading stuff, but then the car moved to let someone else drive out, and they drove over the backpack.

3:12 pm

lbuxx

oh wow sue.. that sux

3:15 pm

no I didn't. How is Scrabs coping?

3:15 pm

Yes, it is

bye uusue, have a good one

3:24 pm

sprite

nothing about it being genetic, as far as I can see. But exceedingly rare... 'only' 3000 people a year get diagnosed with it. That is not much to do research on, I think.

3:25 pm

bichon

It's a grim disease with not a long life span

3:26 pm

sprite

I really hate for Scrabs and her family to have to go through this :(

3:27 pm

bichon

It was very sudden. He was in the hospital for something else. She was with him, adjusting the headreast on the bed and he was gone.

3:27 pm

I know what you mean, Soodle. But I have seen how tough it can be on family if it happens so sudden. I am not sure I'd wish that on them.

question for you folks. as you know I volunteer at a local food pantry once a week. we were just told that if we were not able to meet an obligation, not only were we to contact two people but we needed to find someone to replace us.

5:17 pm

periwinkle

mind you, we are not compensated in any way. is this a fair thing to ask of us. what will they do if we do not comply,fire us?

5:17 pm

bichon

I'd rethink that volunteer job peri

5:17 pm

doseffing

... exacctly

5:18 pm

periwinkle

I am about to, bichon. I like the people I volunteer with.

5:18 pm

doseffing

... if it ain't fun anymore ... don't do it ...

5:18 pm

periwinkle

I do like it but it has been almost two years. I can probably figure out a way to stay in touch with the people I like. or just cut down to once a month

5:18 pm

periwinkle

and then stop altogether

5:18 pm

cool.girl

still dont understand

5:19 pm

Good Enough

keep volunteering and do your best to find a replacement if you miss (which I'm sure you would do anyway). as far as notifying the other two i'd just politly ignore that "requirement"

5:19 pm

periwinkle

the other two are the people in charge good

5:20 pm

periwinkle

so that means at least 3 phone calls or e-mails

5:20 pm

periwinkle

we were supposed to get a holiday dinner but that did not happen

5:20 pm

periwinkle

we get get a holiday lunch last year

5:20 pm

Good Enough

yup and if they want volunteers they will just be happy you or the replacement is there

5:21 pm

periwinkle

bbiab

5:25 pm

MollyL

I have a hard time with any agency that has the benefit of volunteers placing any obligations on them at all. There are people in paid positions who can arrange staffing if someone can't be there.

if they were smart they would have phrased it differently

6:06 pm

jmcnrick

"it is really hard for us to cope when the people we are counting just don't show up so if it turns out you can't make your regular time, could you let one of us know and maybe even help us further (you know how full our plates are already!) and see if you can line up a replacement?

6:09 pm

So they took all their clothes off and roasted potatoes in his office

7:05 pm

jmcnrick

. . . so they busted up the wooden furniture and made a camp fire in his waiting room

7:05 pm

It is no problem to have sugar free anything. We could just convene around an outside campfire instead of burning the chairs in jmc's house.

7:05 pm

Was able to babble w/ea4/4 for the first 150 words.I gave up after finding 165.Here's a story of clues now When I was a kid,I lived on a farm in No5/12 Dakota. I used to ride my ho5/12 named tr4/6ger every day. One time I was sh4/6ged off my ho 5/12. I ho 5/12ed myself on 4/4 it and it began to tr 4/4 before I could even put my feet in the st 4/4rups. I wanted ho5/12 to slow down.I did the wr5/22 thing by sw4/8ting its rear thinking it would stop. It started to gallop and I pulled on the reigns. Then ho 5/12 stopped sh5/12 wi 4/9 no warning. I was not st 6/24 enough to hang on and I went flying. The st 5/14 from the pain brought tears to my eyes. Then I fainted&took a long si6/18. I was so lucky that my life wasn't sh 7/32ed from the incident. After the accident, I sa4/5 to my Mom that I would never ride a ho5/12 again. I have never been back to the si 4/4 of the accident si4/6 it happened. Have a th 6/27 of very bad memories each time I see a ho5/12. Hubby is se4/54ing me cues that he wants the computer. He hates to wa 4/8 for the computer. He te5/12 to get irate as he wa5/18 for the laptop.I will give hubby computer and let him wa5/18 his time on Farmville so he does not cause a ri4/4.

Back again. In case anyone is wondering, I had surgery on my chin to remove a recurred skin cancer and had orders to use an ice-pack for 15 minutes on, 15 minutes off, for 48 hours. And the 48 hours will be over tonight. Besides the incision, I have a big bruise which the ice-pack was supposed to prevent, lol!
