1:12 am

ah yes, SF has quite a large gay pride parade I understand, daughter was down there last year, on business

1:12 am

rururocks

large? .. gigantic

1:12 am

rururocks

more queens than in the history of England

1:12 am

rururocks

:D

1:13 am

flosey

I didn't see Toronto's but saw some of the marchers walking to it - interest

1:14 am

flosey

one burly big guy was dressed in nothing but huge chains

1:14 am

rururocks

I think it's great.. a freedom day for gay people

1:14 am

flosey

and why not

1:14 am

rururocks

like women's rights and black people's rights.. it's all the same.. it's the last frontier

1:15 am

flosey

of course

1:15 am

rururocks

wonder if he had a lock on those chains

1:15 am

flosey

lol, I didn't look that closely

1:16 am

flosey

was on the other side of the street

1:16 am

rururocks

I"d be afraid to guess what he'd try to pick the locks with..lol

1:17 am

flosey

lol

1:18 am

rururocks

gives a whole new meaning to the chain gang

1:19 am

flosey

you're right there

1:20 am

rururocks

we had a lively discussion earlier about religion

1:20 am

flosey

oh my, must look back, what time?

1:21 am

rururocks

sometime around 5 or 6 our time

1:21 am

rururocks

maybe a bit later than that

1:21 am

flosey

I'll check later, must have been interesting

1:21 am

rururocks

it was pretty cool

1:22 am

rururocks

everyone was so cool about it.. some very religious people who have common sense about religion

1:22 am

flosey

as long as it stays 'cool' can get quite heated at times

1:23 am

rururocks

I enjoyed it .. we didn't get into an argument. I'm an atheist

1:24 am

rururocks

i'm really stuck now

1:26 am

flosey

as long as people respect others choices, it's fine but you'd laugh - sister and I had a chat about gays - we have quite a few friends who are, but chat ended, and then "but it's wrong" she had to have the last word

1:26 am

flosey

when I said WE, I meant hubby and I

1:26 am

rururocks

ah.

1:27 am

rururocks

I grew up with 7 gay cousins...I totally get it

1:27 am

flosey

one of the friendliest weddings we've attended was 2 gays, their invitation was very interestingly worded - "come to a quear wedding" and so on

1:27 am

rururocks

7 out of 54

1:28 am

rururocks

I went to a gay wedding two years ago.. it was really beautiful and very moving.

1:28 am

rururocks

they live around the block from us.. they're great people

1:29 am

flosey

I have 3 gay relatives, great guys

1:30 am

rururocks

you are so cool flosey. I can't even wrap my head around it

1:31 am

flosey

but when you grow up with people, and love them, it's not difficult to understand

1:31 am

Kazzer99

2:09 am

sprite

I hope it will be a good one, flosey. Happy dreams.

2:10 am

flosey

yes, good busy sprite, getting ready for family arriving for the weekend, and tieing up some loose ends here

2:10 am

sprite

oh nice :)

2:12 am

flosey

hoping one week will mean seeing less tent caterpillars

2:12 am

sprite

what are tent caterpillars?

2:13 am

flosey

something you will never wish to see, they start out in a tent of webbing on the ends of limbs of, in our case mostly apple trees

2:13 am

sprite

oh... I think I know then. They can take over whole areas of trees :(

2:14 am

flosey

which meant clipping the limb off and burning - hubby has spent at least 2 hours a day doing this for the last few weeks

2:14 am

melonheadjujube

84, with 3 8s and 7 7s. I should have been in bed. Now I shall. nite,all! {poof}

2:17 am

sprite

2:17 am

flosey

they don't bother some trees - our big maple hasn't been touched

2:18 am

flosey

3:31 am

rubyfoo

I made it rain today by watering last night! The all-powerful Ruby! lol

3:31 am

rubyfoo

3:31 am

sprite

yayyy the magic of the watering can and the umbrella.

3:31 am

3:32 am

rubyfoo

hello hello no no

3:33 am

sprite

*hugs ruby* It is a tough job. How is Rufie healing up?

3:33 am

rubyfoo

sprite: all the things you showed me how to do, I can't do... feel like a stupe! but will re-attack later in the day

3:33 am

rubyfoo

Rufe is doing much better but looking longingly at Ruby's food

3:34 am

sprite

just take it one step at a time, dear impatient ruby :D

3:34 am

NonoNanette

hi Sprite, Ruby, your visit all over? did the two of you have a good time

3:34 am

rubyfoo

Burt bought him boned chicken breasts this AM, so he'll have sa healthy treat later

3:34 am

sprite

yeah poor Rufie. But he will love not having that bad itching spot anymore. It is worth it.

3:35 am

sprite

we had a marvellous time, Nanette! Yes it is over, I came home on Saturday. Ruby and her husband spoiled me rotten.

3:35 am

rubyfoo

yes, no no, it was wonderful! We must have known each other in a previous life (how very Buddhist of me!) because it was definitely old friends

3:35 am

sprite

I agree

3:35 am

NonoNanette

thats great!

3:35 am

rubyfoo

and sprite really brought DH out of his shell into which he withdraws because of impatient me

3:36 am

sprite

he is a wonderful man. And you are a wonderful woman, ruby.

3:36 am

rubyfoo

<-- blushing

3:40 am

rubyfoo

we almost have do****el, sprite's new scrabble word!

3:40 am

3:50 am

Marc Freeman

3:50 am

rubyfoo

half and nbs but not nbt :(

3:51 am

NonoNanette

good for you Ruby! I have more than half but need an L and an 8 for nbt/nbs

3:52 am

rubyfoo

fe8/60

3:52 am

NonoNanette

will work on that thanks

3:52 am

sprite

fe8 = chained

3:53 am

scouser

morning ruby glad to hear that the visit from sprite was a happy time. the word you mentioned, do****** puts me in mind of a word that is in the grid, very similar, and which is the little burned-out lump of baccy in a pipe which requires that screeching scrooper to clean out the bowl ready for the next baccy

3:53 am

sprite

le8 is like it

3:53 am

NonoNanette

ty Sprite

3:53 am

sprite

lol scouser, that is nice :)

3:53 am

NonoNanette

there, NBS and NBT

3:54 am

scouser

the fe6 is my Russian ancestor's name!

3:54 am

sprite

wtg Nanette!

3:54 am

sprite

interesting

3:54 am

rubyfoo

hello scouser! what part of Russia?

3:55 am

Marc Freeman

re7/32, please?

3:55 am

sprite

act again again, Marc

3:55 am

scouser

Moscow area

3:56 am

rubyfoo

nbt!

3:56 am

rubyfoo

how far back can you trace them scouser

3:56 am

NonoNanette

wtg ruby!

3:56 am

rubyfoo

only took 80 words, lol

3:56 am

sprite

lol... Babble does not know 'internet' but it does know so8 (compound)

3:56 am

sprite

wtg ruby!

3:57 am

rubyfoo

ooh, nifty clue! ty

3:57 am

sprite

:)

3:57 am

scouser

Late 18th century in Sweden; others in Germany even further. Very convoluted family- "weed" not "tr4" !

3:58 am

rubyfoo

or bush/shrub -- many branches

3:58 am

scouser

we have a family-weed 'cos of many cousins marrying in late 19th century

3:58 am

rubyfoo

like first husband who was Irish, Swedish, English and could trace way back

3:58 am

rubyfoo

I can go back to the 2nd half of 19th C, all in the Ukraine

3:59 am

scouser

all those family t4 programmes you can get for computer get very upset when you put persons on same "row" in marriage

3:59 am

sprite

lol yes I can imagine

3:59 am

rubyfoo

our previous housekeeper married someone with the same last name but a different hyphen; the priest raised an eyebrow!

4:00 am

rubyfoo

but the name is very common in this valley

4:00 am

scouser

whenever I get an official form which says "give nationality" I always put "middle-European" because they don't have that as a choice!

4:01 am

sprite

:D

4:01 am

rubyfoo

easier for me; they're all from only two places

4:01 am

rubyfoo

and I think sprite is Dutch lol

4:01 am

scouser

I like the way the Swiss deal with the hyphen - one way round before the divorce, other way afterwards! So my cousin was Mme C. P-B and then afterwards Mme C. P-B !

4:01 am

rubyfoo

notice they've used a mispelling of Dutch pottery

4:01 am

scouser

sorry - typed the last bit wrong Mme C. B-P

4:02 am

rubyfoo

I didn't know that, scouser

4:02 am

rubyfoo

I use a hyphen but with my first husband's name rather than my maiden name because I got married so young

4:02 am

rubyfoo

uh oh, DHis calling!

4:02 am

sprite

fi4flies :)
Yes I am Dutch. More than 1/4 Friesian, very apt int his grid today. Some French blood, some German.

4:02 am

scouser

the pottery is not wrong the word means a small quarry usually narrow and open to the sky

4:02 am

sprite

hug him from me, ruby

4:02 am

rubyfoo

everything is kelley: son, degrees, assets.....

4:03 am

rubyfoo

will do, sprite

4:03 am

rubyfoo

I thought it had a t at the end.....

4:03 am

sprite

I am off, bye all, have fun :D

4:03 am

rubyfoo

*poof*

4:04 am

scouser

id you're crazy about someone, you're be-so8

5:37 am

Christine

It's past tense

5:40 am

guernseygirl

Hi all, I've been lurking. I think you'll find so8 is a two- part word to do with computers

5:40 am

doseffing

... to be crazy is an so6

5:42 am

Christine

sorry - I clued the so6/21, which means 'drunk'.

5:42 am

medusa

lol

5:42 am

doseffing

... to be crazy in love with someone is an s06

5:43 am

doseffing

... though you usually hear it with "be" in front of it but there is not "be" here

5:43 am

guernseygirl

Now we,re clear on that, has anyone got the lone l on the left please?

5:43 am

doseffing

guernseygirl

5:44 am

medusa

thanks

5:44 am

Christine

Sorry for the misinformation - it's 3.45am, and I really should close down, and go t bed, but ... maybe just one more word?

5:45 am

medusa

1 more word is never 1 more though. it always turns into more than 1 more for me

5:45 am

guernseygirl

If I'd ever been to the Maldives, I might have known it!

5:46 am

Christine

That's why I got up, after being in bed for an hour - just one more word.

5:47 am

guernseygirl

Off to do something useful. Be back later. Bye

5:47 am

doseffing

... my I suggest ya4/10 ... a type of boat ... for sailing away to the Maldives ... or sleep ...

5:49 am

medusa

6:03 am

doseffing

... the words will still be there in the morning ... or afternoon

6:03 am

Christine

I need to get up in about 4 hours, so it may not be worth while to go to bed. I'm retired, so I could just nap when I get back from the Doctor,

6:03 am

doseffing

... although my kid never pays any attention to me when I say it so why should you ...

6:04 am

Scrabbler

Good day to all.

6:06 am

Scrabbler

A big, old tree?

6:07 am

doseffing

... a big old tree ... but only a small branch ... that likely broke off in the last storm and took two weeks to fall all the way through to the ground

6:08 am

Scrabbler

I have branches like that. I see them hanging up there and hope I am not underneath when a branch lets loose.

6:08 am

doseffing

... likely about 100 years old ... but on it's last legs ... ... the town will have to take it down in the next couple of years

6:09 am

medusa

have 26 left!

6:09 am

Scrabbler

I trimmed many low-hanging branches on Saturday, to allow more sun to hit the front of my house. Next I need one of those long tree trimmers to reach higher branches.

7:03 am

Uneaixoise

yes!!

7:03 am

kje

he is beautiful, une

7:04 am

of course, nowadays, sometimes owner surrenders are because people have to move out of a house into an apt where dogs aren't allowed . . .

some lucky person gets a wonderful new pet though - thanks to kind persons like Une!

7:04 am

Uneaixoise

this is true. i am not allowed a dog here coz i am on the 4th floor

7:05 am

Uneaixoise

and then, some apt/condo bldgs have rules related to specific breeds . . .

Good Morning, Everybody. How are you all on this fine day?

8:26 am

rubyfoo

{{nef}} fine thanks but should be outside pruning roses

8:26 am

Nef

Scrabs; to have the first 3 patients of the day not show up really messes things up, doesn't it?

8:28 am

Nef

Hi ruby. Prune roses? How often do you do that? I have a rose bush out front I was going to cut out this summer, and then if bloomed like crazy this year (after 3 yoears of very few blooms)

8:30 am

rubyfoo

didn't mean prune, meant deadhead.

8:31 am

they are a mess and dropping petals everyplace. If I do a good job, they'll flower one or two more times

thnx ruby

8:34 am

Nef

I planted a Peace rose out front about 10 years ago. It had beautiful yellow with blush pink flowers; but about 5 years ago it must have been hit with frost and then I've had deep red (and thorny) roses since. It's had some marvelous flowers, but the past 3 years it didn't do much at all; so I was thinking I'd dig it out and replace it. But over the past 2 months it's been spectacular with tons of flowers again

8:35 am

uusue2

morning all!

8:35 am

rubyfoo

I only added rosebushes the 3rd year of the garden, several kinds,: red, dark red, pink, purple and slamon

8:39 am

rubyfoo

8:40 am

Nef

Scrabs, I'd have to be at work about an hour before our first pt. at our prenatal clinic; setting things up, etc. Our Midwives would come in about 20 minutes before the 1st client too. But to have 3 No Shows at the start of the day would set the whole rhythm of the day off. Or, they'd come in the late afternoon saying that they'd forgotten til then (or couldn't get a ride or whatever) and we'd end up there late.

8:40 am

rubyfoo

like the roman household gods but with a vowel at the end

8:40 am

YAY, kje!!! WTG!!!

8:41 am

My clinic is in a very poor part of the Cities also.

8:44 am

right Scrabs, transpotation problems, etc.

8:44 am

hego

Well, the non Mexicans showed up.

8:44 am

Scrabbler

Mostly the parents are just not responsible!

8:45 am

it took me a minute to remember May 5th

Ah, Cinco de Mayo.

ole!

8:46 am

mixing some Margueritas for the PB

8:46 am

Nef

Oh! :-)

8:46 am

I could never figure out why they made appointments for that day.

8:46 am

Nef

they weren't looking at a calendar

8:46 am

hego

right6

8:47 am

hego

right

8:47 am

rubyfoo

right7

8:47 am

Nef

PB?? (scrolling back to see what was said)

8:47 am

Scrabbler

I think that many poor, uneducated/unemployed people do not have a calendar (paper or on phone) because everyday is the same--no schedule to life. No work days/weekends. etc.

8:48 am

rubyfoo

no no, nef, it was pre-emptive -- thinking about 5 may makes me want one!

8:48 am

Nef

okay, ruby! :-)

8:49 am

Nef

Scrabs, that's so true. Among my clients, if they do have a calendar, it may be in their phone -which is often shut off due to unpaid bill

8:50 am

Scrabbler

Sadly my perspective on kids and parents causes me to society as becoming more feral. Undisciplined parents raise kids without limits, guidance, structure.

Ruby, yes, and you can set reminders.

Scrabbler

3rd try: to see society...

8:51 am

rubyfoo

that is too true, scrabs, I can see why you would want to bring the children home

8:51 am

Nef

"All" of the fancy phones have all sorts of gizmos. Which cost money; and then they can't pay for them.

8:53 am

Nef

My clients were prenatal patients. I felt the same way about some of them. Some of their stories just break your heart! I wanted to bring some home to a safe environment so many times...

8:53 am

hego

I know the feeling Nef

8:54 am

rubyfoo

it must be very difficult to send them home

8:54 am

see you later, kids

8:59 am

Nef

one girl came in with her eyelid and eyebrow slit open lessthan an hour before her appt. We took her to the ER and she had 15 stitches put in (our steri-strips didn't do the job and the CNM didn't think she could stitch her up without scarring her). The girl was "Styling her guys' hair and puleed it;" he pulled out a knife and sliced her for that

9:00 am

Nef

I hear you, Scrabs. It's heartbreaking.

9:00 am

hego

were the police notified?

9:00 am

Scrabbler

These girls would rather get some attention, even if deadly and brutal, than to not be attached to a guy.

9:01 am

hego

sad

9:01 am

Nef

yes, hego. We encouraged her to press charges and this time she did. But who knows what happens later?

9:01 am

flosey

fireworks and off to face a very busy day

9:02 am

9:03 am

Nef

YAY, flosey!!! WTG!!!

9:03 am

Nef

Okay. I'll shut up now. Back to the grid

9:05 am

Scrabbler

Finally a patient has arrived. Of course it is a kid that does not need to be here for her minor illness, but I will provide "peace of mind." That is mostly what we do now as most of the kids seen for sick visits do not need to be seen at all.

9:05 am

9:06 am

Nef

Hagd, Scrabs (hope everybody else keeps their appts from now on)

9:07 am

Scrabbler

So many mothers come to our office with at least one of their kids each week--Munchausen by proxy! It's epidemic.

9:08 am

Nef

Oh, My! Are they just looking for Any sort of attention; or just unable to cope with their living situation?

9:09 am

Scrabbler

Attention but mostly DRAMA--"Zachary has a cold and he cannot sleep and he is miserable and I am SO tired and something has to be done or I am going to lose it and he touched his ear once so I think he needs amoxicillin."

9:10 am

Nef

LOL, Scrabs! *I* was feeling overwhelmed this past week with DH tapering off steroids! I bet I sounded just like that! :-D

9:10 am

hego

sound familiar

9:34 am

Scrabbler

Nice.

9:35 am

Dorens

i am seriously thinking of going up to the adirondacks to get me a boat

9:36 am

Dorens

that lightweight hornbeck. how long does it take between ordering and getting, do you know?

9:36 am

Scrabbler

Hornbeck Boats in Olmstedville! Get an ultralight canoe!!!! I love mine--best purchase for myself. Ever.

9:37 am

Scrabbler

They have barns filled with boats, especially the 10 and 12 footers which are the most popular. Leslie drove up a month ago to get hers.

9:37 am

Dorens

i remember you mentioning it, and looked into it over the weekend, am seriously planning to get one... unsure about the different finishes... kevlar, etc. and high profile vs. low profile. I guess i need a 10 footer (would love one shorter, but don't know if it's practical)

9:37 am

cybernan

good morning all :)

9:38 am

Dorens

am trying to convince my kayaking/hiking buddy. she wants to go on a road trip to new england, I'm trying to push for olmstedville so i can pick up a boat. but definitely need roof racks, etc.. have nothing on top of my audi

9:38 am

Dorens

hi nan

9:38 am

Scrabbler

We got the 10 foot Kevlar canoes. They track well, weigh 14 or 16 lbs (I forget, but either way you can lift it with one finger).

9:39 am

Dorens

i will use it 98 percent right here on the lake which is half a mile down the hill. and i guess bring it up to the vineyard when i go there

9:39 am

Scrabbler

Call the place--they installed proper rack on my Subaru. I bought boat and paddles.

9:40 am

Dorens

i intend to. might go up there next week (having mohs surgery tomorrow)

9:40 am

Scrabbler

It is very liberating to have an ultralight boat. Travel to and from garage/car/water is easy!

9:40 am

Scrabbler

Oh, oh.

9:40 am

Dorens

i am excited about the boat... it is my post surgical reward

9:41 am

Scrabbler

I will have a 5-day vacation in ADK in a few wks and then 6 days in Aug. Heaven.

9:43 am

Dorens

i will look into it. olmstedville is a long drive to go up and back in one day

9:44 am

Scrabbler

Hi Ruru. Don't we all have our special happy place? A place where we just say "Aaaaah!" ?

9:44 am

rururocks

yeah.. but I don't call it heaven

9:44 am

rururocks

yes,kitties and puppies can get into problems with the plastic handles

11:03 am

bad kitty

11:04 am

hurshy

yeah it's weird he LOVES it SO MUCH. so, i got one of those crinkle sacks where it sounds the same but it's enclosed in fabric.

11:04 am

thats why we bought 2 krinkle bags for the kitties,they get the sound of a plastic bag but it is safe

sure sounds like it, carlee! I am so impressed with your preparations. And inspired. Thinking I might try dehydrating a few things this summer for use in the winter when I don't have energy to cook. Also, the freezer is going to be premium space this year (Mother is buying half a pig and 18 chickens, so some of that is coming our way), so I have to learn some new food saving strategies! LOL

11:53 am

sounds like a good idea, carleet. Our microwave has a convection oven feature (but I've never used it). I wonder if that works the same?

11:53 am

carleekat

no idea nef... get some mushrooms and try it...good quick inexpensive way to give it a whirl

11:54 am

Nef

sounds like a plan, carleet. I'll do that

11:54 am

we have an over-abundance of raspberries and mulberries this year. I'm toying with the idea of the best way to preserve them. I'm not a big fan of jellys and jams (although DH is);

11:58 am

i make seedless raspberry jam..OMG...and u can do so much with it... make rasp squares...use as ice cream topper...

11:58 am

Scrabbler

i HAVE NOT HAD a good tomato crop for a few yrs.

11:58 am

Nef

dehydrating may take forever. And I need to make space in the freezer if I go that route.

11:59 am

carleekat

why need freezer space for jam?...just get some certo and sugar.. boil....oh is sooo yummmm

11:59 am

yarn lady

I've dried on cookie sheets and a rack over the pilot light of my oven, but have had a dehydrator for years now, fruit leather and dried apples are my grandsons favorites! but wild leeks, corn, string beans, even zucchini and tomatoes, work well.

Hey Scrabs. Just got back from visiting the kiddies in the Bay Area. A week of attempting to potty training the almost 3 y.o. with little to say for it.

12:00 pm

I planted about 20 various tomato plants this year. We always eat them as soon as they ripen and rarely have any for canning

12:00 pm

At that age they are defiant and resistant.

12:02 pm

goats cheese grits, carlee? What's that?

right carlee, but it's frustrating as he's the only one in his pre-school who isn't

12:02 pm

Yep, unless developmentally delayed, kids finally say good-bye to diapers by 4 - 5.

12:03 pm

carleekat

you know what grits are right nef?

12:03 pm

Nef

carlee, there was a news item about some store being robbed of $600 of Reeses PB cups over several months. Was that you?

12:04 pm

carleekat

well instead of cheesy grits... i plop in a big chunk of creamy goats cheese when am making the grits...

sort of, carlee; (they're kind of like oatmeal or cream of wheat?)

12:04 pm

hurshy

la5 sounds like celtic great bird

12:04 pm

hurshy

that's boston celtics, not like, celts.

12:05 pm

carleekat

yeap...like whitened corn meal ( feels strange being a cdn teaching an american about grits )

12:05 pm

Scrabbler

Still no clue, Hurshy.

12:05 pm

Nef

LOL! It isn't typical Minnesota farre, carlee!

12:06 pm

hurshy

really? ? you know, magic johnson rival... ok, well, then, what about L**** the cable guy. sounds like that.

12:06 pm

carleekat

nor is it typical cdn fare :p

12:06 pm

hurshy

or L****, Darryl and Darryl from newhart

12:06 pm

Scrabbler

OK, now I have it. TY.

12:06 pm

Nef

so how do you know about grits -- and eat them too?

12:07 pm

hurshy

phew

12:08 pm

carleekat

i went down to NC and had a babble meet up with a woman who used to babble...and she took me for lunch to the restaurant that hippified traditional southern cooking

12:08 pm

carleekat

so..spicy fried green tomatoes...with goats cheese grits...was soooo yum I brought back a 5 lb bag of grits

12:08 pm

hurshy

hippified meaning, made hip, or meaning, made in a hippie style?

12:08 pm

hurshy

(funny how hip and hippie have now become dis-associated)

12:08 pm

carleekat

yes hurshy

12:09 pm

Scrabbler

42 left and not seeing a thing

12:09 pm

hurshy

yes WHICH?

12:09 pm

carleekat

hip...made cool...

12:09 pm

Nef

okay. DH made fried green tomatoes (after the movie came out) and we "sort of" like those; but the grits sound--- different.

12:10 pm

hurshy

ah, thanks. so they did not have peace signs and tie dye

12:10 pm

carleekat

but in asheville hip and hippie are synonomous

12:10 pm

Nef

I guess I can't get past the idea that grits arereally boiled breakfast cereal.

12:10 pm

hurshy

hmm that is odd

12:11 pm

carleekat

nef..if u put some cayenne in the bread crumb mixture...zips them up

12:11 pm

carleekat

asheville is a city unto itself...very trendy... artsy... with a whole underground hippie culture

12:12 pm

Nef

I guess I need to go down south and have some of these thingsdone up right. DH is the adventerous gourmet cook in this house; but the grits he's made just didn't excite us....

12:12 pm

Nef

Asheville NC?

12:13 pm

carleekat

grits dont excite me.... but with the soft goats cheese ..OMG

12:13 pm

carleekat

yes NC

12:14 pm

hurshy

i love goat cheese.

12:15 pm

Nef

<jotting down info in notebook for future travel plans> Someone else told me that Asheville NC had the best BBQ ever. She was taking a suitcase of frozen ones home from vacation in April.

12:16 pm

carleekat

i am going to be in hotsprings Nc this coming sunday

12:17 pm

Nef

Nef

I wish DH would get well so we can travel. We were going to go down the Mississippi River this summer tasting all sorts of BBQ and local food (I'd be driving; we wouldn't be "on" the river

12:19 pm

Nef

sorry, sammy; I don't have it yet (but am looking)

12:19 pm

carleekat

ok..gotta set up my oven to dehydrate some more...( ground beef)

12:19 pm

sammysmom

Nef

hi Min. I'm fine today; how are you doing?

6:29 pm

stidgmere

Congrats leighp!!! Just starting and hoping to do half of the grid.

6:30 pm

Nef

I always find it funny to come back to a grid (after you swear there isn't another word left to find) and you suddenly see 5 or 6 words just staring back at you. How did I miss them the first time? :-)

6:32 pm

Nef

hi stidge

6:32 pm

stidgmere

Hi nef.

6:32 pm

Nef

sorry about mis-spelling your name

6:38 pm

Minveryork

Hello stidgmere! How are you doing? Welcome to the chog

6:39 pm

Minveryork

I am doing well Nef.I had my last day of school today, YAY!

6:41 pm

Nef

YAY for you, Min!

6:43 pm

Nef

Do you have a summer job too? It seems most of the teachers I know are so thrileed to be done with classes for the summer; and then they have all these odd summer things they line up and do (like uusue)

6:49 pm

Minveryork

Yes, I'm teaching summer school for seventeen days in July

6:50 pm

Nef

:-( Or maybe it's not such a bad thing?

6:51 pm

stidgmere

7:00 pm

Nef

Go, Min! You can do it!~

7:02 pm

Nef

Dang. Now I'm entering words on letters I've already finished; the T's and S's because Min mentioned them..

7:03 pm

Nef

the D's have me stumped though

7:03 pm

Nef

(the upper D, that is)

7:09 pm

Minveryork

A de 6/30 is one who refuses to follow the rules and the de 4/8 shortens the word Nef.

7:11 pm

Nef

thanks, Min.

7:13 pm

Minveryork

7:19 pm

Minveryork

Know what my last word is but I'm saving it for later tonite.

7:19 pm

redturtlehead

Hello all. how is everyone?

7:20 pm

Nef

oh, man! Do you ever miss the easiest words? I feel dumb when I see the words I listed

7:20 pm

Nef

hi red. Doing okay; how about you?

7:20 pm

redturtlehead

I am alright my last letter of the alphabet key is broken.... glad it is not a vowel.

7:22 pm

Nef

oh-oh. How do you break that letter?

7:22 pm

redturtlehead

it just stopped working. Maybe it will work later. I had a similar issue with the a key a while back...

7:24 pm

redturtlehead

how is your hubby?

7:25 pm

Nef

I need to share... DH decided to clean his keyboard on Saturday. He took ALL the keys out to do it; it took him 2 days to put it back together (and I had to get him an old one to copy; but his keyboard had a lot more keys that the rest of them around here.

7:26 pm

redturtlehead

Oh WOW...

7:26 pm

MollyL

Hey Red...OPEN...ALL PROGRAMS...ACCESSORIES...EASE OF ACCESS...ON SCREEN KEYBOARD...for when you have keyboard problems

7:26 pm

redturtlehead

hubby is brave.

7:27 pm

Nef

I had a little piece and quiet then. :-) (steroid tapering off; his last dose is Thursday; then he'll be "back to normal" about a week after that

7:27 pm

MollyL

Nef, it's really easier to just get a new keyboard. They aren't expensive.

7:27 pm

redturtlehead

I have a mac, i think its a little different thank Molly!

7:27 pm

Nef

macs are different

7:28 pm

MollyL

Oh, okay. I am not MAC proficient. But I'm sure it has a similar feature. You will just have to look it up.

7:29 pm

Nef

cleaning helps too if there's something under it

7:33 pm

redturtlehead

I think it may just be a bit wet....we are a little wet here. BUt if it continues, I will have to deal with it...

7:33 pm

redturtlehead

I am glad there are none of that letter in the grid.

7:34 pm

redturtlehead

It would be easy to get a new keyboard, but its a lap top....alas alack alay.

7:34 pm

Nef

it's in at least 2 F words

7:35 pm

Nef

red, you can plug a regular keyboard into a laptop and it works just fine. That's what we did when I worked in triage....

7:37 pm

MollyL

I hate to break it to you Red, but the last letter of the alphabet is used in some words in this grid.

7:37 pm

redturtlehead

I could... somehow this will work out. I'm waiting for the trial coverage to start again...running!

7:38 pm

uusue2

8:20 pm

Minveryork

I have almost attained fi 4/7works.Here is a story ri 4/7 with clues. My niece just learned how to cr 5/20. She is so cu 4/6! However, she is also a little de 6/30 because she goes to places she knows she isn't supposed to go to She has become very de 4/8 at disappearing. The more she cr5/20s the de6/30 she gets.Sometimes we have to do 4/5 on her to get her toys so she does not disappear. If we take our eyes off my niece for just a little minute, she will dr5/18 off to places unknown.She moves about with such fi6/30ness & speed, we have to put the gates up by all the stairs.Once my brother was ir4/5 when the babysitter let my niece cr5/20 outside toward the road. If her brother hadn't seen her, she might have fl4/8 the front yard. My brother was so angry that he fi 5/18 the babysitter. Of course he would not give the babysitter a reference le 6/18 to get a new job. Husband wants the computer. I fr 4/7 what he'll do if I do not give it to him so I will give it to him. Now that I have to 4/5 my story I am going to go watch the Eastwood movie "High Plains Dr 7/44".I will be back after the movie to help w/clues.

Soft or sweet, but my clues just fly right by people, so it doesn't matter.

9:00 pm

Molly, I don't understand any language (even English sometimes)

I think it's actually a musical term. But what do I know.

Dorens, looking at your icon in the small size, I thought it was my bed! :-)

9:04 pm

MollyL

Atheistic prayer chain, the oxymoroniest.

9:04 pm

Minveryork

Thank you wht! That word is definietly a hard one to clue.

9:05 pm

wvteach

** finito ** last word AR 6/18 - plural of AR 5 - but not seeing it for too long - time for bed i guess

9:05 pm

Dorens

once my (then) husband was piloting a small private plane with me and (our then) two year old son. and he lost power to an engine and was looking for a place to emergency land. And i was afraid to ask him how bad it was so i assumed the very worst. I made so many bargains and promises in the form of prayer that day!

9:06 pm

Nef

YAYwv!! WTG!!!

9:06 pm

rururocks

wow doren

9:07 pm

Minveryork

Congratulations wvteach on your sparklers! Hooray for you

9:07 pm

rururocks

what ended up happening?

9:07 pm

Dorens

it was kind of an insane moment. never went happily in a plane with him again after that. and yay nef!

9:08 pm

rururocks

That would pretty much keep me out of small planes too

9:08 pm

Nef

me too!

9:08 pm

Nef

With that I bid you all a good night.

9:08 pm

Dorens

he found a very small airport not far from where we were and he landed there. we got friends or family to come pick us up, we were about two hours from home. i don't remember what was wrong with the plane, but i certainly remember my emotions and thinking. and pleading with my mythical god of the moment

9:09 pm

rururocks

night nef.. sleep well..

9:09 pm

Dorens

sweet dreams nef

9:09 pm

Minveryork

Goodnight Nef! I will see you tomorrow in the chog maybe.

Good night nef

9:10 pm

gosh, this was a little cessna twin, back i 1976... don't know if air bags existed. to me it was just the god of the woods... ramapo mountai range actually

9:11 pm

wht

I have a pilot friend who says that any landing you walk away from is a good landing.

9:11 pm

rururocks

did you have a wet seat? lol

9:12 pm

Dorens

i think that's true wht....

9:12 pm

wht

Fireworks

9:12 pm

wht

Molly, you were right.

9:13 pm

Dorens

don't remember ru, but if so i could always blame it on jeremy... he was just two and in diapers then. But this past friday he coauthored the lead article for th New England journal of Medicine's 200th anniversary issue (by invitation)

9:13 pm

Minveryork

Congratulations wht on your sparklers tonight! Way to go!

9:13 pm

rururocks

wow.. that's a big deal

9:14 pm

rururocks

you have such bright kids..

9:14 pm

Dorens

yeah... he is a hot shot medical historian, so it would make sense.

9:14 pm

Dorens

thanks.. i used to take partial credit, but lately i am more of the mind that they get it all from their father (even if he did idiotically insist on flying those tin cans with wings)

9:15 pm

wht

Congratulations to Jeremy and his proud Mom.

9:15 pm

MollyL

Let's keep that between you and I, Wht. It would ruin my "Black sheep Babbler" reputation. But thanks.
: )

9:15 pm

Dorens

no, no molly you have to tell. please!

9:16 pm

wht

Dorens, Molly is a prophet. When I started I said that I didn't know if I would finish, and she said I would.

9:16 pm

Dorens

(he also went off to the 200th anniversary gala and left me to babysit. next night was a reception at the Museum of Fine ARts and i was supposed to bring the kids, but Levi was under the weather and slept too late

9:17 pm

rururocks

black sheep?

9:17 pm

Dorens

oh, of course you would wht. that is just you S O P, isn't it?

9:17 pm

wht

I do finish more than I don't, but I didn't give myself all day, today.

9:18 pm

Dorens

this one doesn't seem so bad, though, is it?

9:18 pm

wht

And I didn't finish the 700 word grid. :^)

9:18 pm

wht

No this one was pretty straighforward.

9:19 pm

MollyL

It is my contention that the 744 drew the line between the hard core Babblers and those of us who consider it sport.

9:20 pm

Dorens

nice term there," hard core". has a nicer ring than mine, which is "truly insane" (of course i am one of them)

9:20 pm

rururocks

744 wasn't for sissies that is for sure

9:20 pm

wht

Well, I had to start that one just to see what I could do, even though I only had an hour or two to work on it.

9:21 pm

wht

I wonder how long it took gremlinn to finish that one. 45 minutes?

9:21 pm

rururocks

it certainly was challenging

9:21 pm

Dorens

i had to finish it, just because i am "truly insane"

9:22 pm

rururocks

<---in the loony bin too

9:22 pm

wht

Good for you dorens. That is a good kind of insanity.

9:23 pm

Dorens

sometimes i'm not so sure wht. when other things in my life are sacrificed for my obsession, it doesn't feel all that good

9:24 pm

Dorens

oh, wht. i was in arlington for dinner the other night. za?

9:24 pm

rururocks

everyone has to have a few addictions doren

9:25 pm

Dorens

really ru? why can't i just be normal and do this in moderation?

9:25 pm

wht

Did you enjoy your dinner, Dorens. I haven't been there in a while. But Arlington has a lot of great restuarants.

9:25 pm

MollyL

Hard core, it's like the difference between alcoholics who drink straight out of the bottle and the rest of us, who use a glass. : P

9:25 pm

Dorens

yup. surprisingly good. a nice salad with black beans, avocado, etc. and chocolate goat cheesecake for dessert. even the coffee was good

9:28 pm

Dorens

so mol, are you accusing me of drinking straight from the bottle, now?
?

9:28 pm

wht

Sounds great, Dorens. I might have to give it another try.

9:29 pm

MollyL

No Doren, I know you use lovely glasses and lift your pinky just so. : )

9:29 pm

Dorens

(and the pizzas were good too, but i let jeremy order and he got things like pickle pizza with swiss and chorizo. and goat cheese, arugala, strawberries and balsamic reduction. strawberries!! on pizza!

9:30 pm

Dorens

lovely glasses from time to time, mol. but finish it up straight from the bottle from time to time

9:31 pm

MollyL

Oh my GOD! Those are the grossest pizza toppings I have ever heard of.

9:32 pm

Dorens

i know! but believe it or not they still tasted good. i think i was very hungry

9:33 pm

MollyL

Sorry, but I'm a non-believer when it comes to things like that. Pizza is sacred and should not be messed with in such a way.

9:33 pm

wht

They have to be good, because in addition to all the good restuarants, there are something like 27 pizza places in Arlington. So Za tries to combine the two.

9:34 pm

Dorens

no need to apologize molly. it did seem sort of gross, even tho it tasted good. at least they didn't order the mac n cheese pizza. and yes, they really are good

9:35 pm

MollyL

Doren, if I have pizza nightmares tonight, I am going to hold your son responsible. : O

9:35 pm

Dorens

what are your favorite places wht?

9:36 pm

Dorens

haha, molly, go right ahead. but don't hunt him down when he moves to md and stalk him, ok?

9:36 pm

wht

Punjab, Scutra and Acitron.

9:37 pm

MollyL

I won't. But they are going to laugh his ass right out of Little Italy if he ever tries to order pizza that way there.

9:37 pm

Dorens

i like sofra

9:38 pm

wht

I don't think I have been there, Dorens. What kind of food do they serve?

9:38 pm

Dorens

he only ordered it that way cause it was on the chalkbaord as specials

9:38 pm

Dorens

middle eastern, which is one of my favorite cuisines

9:39 pm

Dorens

oh the menu at acitron looks good! hope to try it sometime

9:40 pm

wht

There dinners are good and we went there for brunch once and it was delicious as well.

9:41 pm

rururocks

I'm of course not addicted to this game

9:41 pm

Dorens

i have to ask jeremy if he's been there. he usually knows of th good places, and spent summers at a clinic in mexico and likes authentic. which this looks like

9:41 pm

rururocks

I've quit with no success several times

9:42 pm

Dorens

oh no, ru of course you are just prepared to pray, "PRAY" for a small grid cause you have a full day

9:43 pm

Dorens

my family was very fond of oleana in cambridge and sofra is a bakery/eatery from the same team that makes such incredible stuff

9:43 pm

Dorens
