Thanks Neil. Dad was 84 or so, ALZ. His decline was swift, not painful, and he knew us to the end. Kudos to my sister who made big and merciful decisions re: his care.

I haven't seen you since you went to London..How was the trip and did you dance?
6:06 am
Scrabbler
Good day to all.
6:06 am
westford
hello scrabbler
6:06 am
rubyfoo
the trip was lovely but truncated because DH didn't manage. But it was worth it to get out of this mess for a couple of days
6:06 am
rubyfoo
didn't dance, but ate Japanese food
6:07 am
westford
did you see NY state of the state?
6:07 am
rubyfoo
?? what is that?
6:07 am
rubyfoo
hi scrabs
6:07 am
westford
so good to hear ruby..not that the trip was cut short but that you got to have Japanese food
6:08 am
westford
Gov Cuomo's presentation ruby..like State of the Union
6:08 am
rubyfoo
and my relatives were splendid and made me feel like I was special!
6:08 am
rubyfoo
maybe it will be in today's IHT but our coverage is very poor
6:09 am
westford
I asked scrabbler because the Gov was saying he wanted to sing the praises of upstate NY and I thought scrabbler would be the perfect spokesperson
6:10 am
westford
it was awhile ago ruby..we watched it on CSpan
6:10 am
westford
might still be on their website
6:10 am
Scrabbler
I dislike politicians--you cannot believe what they say.

what music you listening to, west?
6:13 am
Scrabbler
Oh, no offense at all. I just don't like listening to people say things to please others. Actions matter more than words. Does that make sense?

6:25 am
westford
I'm just happy I don't work out doors
6:26 am
Scrabbler
I spoke to a father in the office yesterday. He works for the county so drives snowplows all winter. 12 hr shifts. He has been busy.
6:27 am

6:28 am
Lizlin
OK UK v US spelling!!!!!
6:28 am
rubyfoo
hahah liz
6:29 am
Lizlin
Keep missing the US spellings of words!
6:29 am
westford
wonder why they are different..we must have started out the same
6:30 am
Lizlin
Perhaps the differences came because of poor spellers - or maybe it was just more phonetic, so easier!
6:30 am
westford
could be..I wish we still used the English spelling
6:31 am
rubyfoo
110 and the fireplace beckons.....
6:31 am
Lizlin
Would it be so bad if you did?
6:31 am
westford
going to sweep the cinders ruby?
6:31 am

Noticed a difference talking to smores on the pl spelling of mango!
6:31 am

Enjoy the warmth of the fire :)
6:32 am

And I must quickly get ready and leave for work. I'll check back in during my lunch hour in 5 hrs
6:32 am

OK - bye scrabbs. have a good day :)
6:32 am
westford
I'll do the dishes while you're gone scrabbler
6:32 am
westford
thanks for the breakfast
6:32 am
godthaab
The reason US spelling is different is because there was a move at one time to simplify spelling on the part of the Americans. To some extent, it took hold, with words like color, colour, etc. Usually the simplified spelling is the American spelling.
6:33 am
Lizlin
ty for that explanation :)
6:33 am
godthaab
You are very welcome.
6:33 am
westford
I do like to see words spelled correctly
6:34 am
westford
when I move to England and live at Downton Abbey I shall add u's to my words
6:34 am
Lizlin
Me too - especially as an ex teacher of literacy! But I fear that text language will become far more commonplace.
6:35 am
westford
is text language used to save money?
6:36 am
Lizlin
Wow! Just started raining. It may not last long but it's the heaviest since about 21 December!
6:36 am
Lizlin
I meant that as a teacher I often had to tell kids that gr8 etc was just not acceptable in their writing.
6:37 am
westford
my goodness they would actually do that?
6:38 am
Lizlin
Yes and they didn't instinctively understand the difference between formal and informal use of language.
6:38 am
westford
there was a movement he** to not stifle creativity so anything was okay
6:38 am
westford
drove me up a wall
6:38 am
ChampFit
did anyone come up with the top e while I was in the grid? please?
6:39 am
westford
e and cease champ..legal term
6:39 am
Lizlin
I understand that westford, but if they're asked to write a formal piece e.g. an argument, they need to know that language must be formal!
6:40 am
Lizlin
tyvm for es 5
6:40 am
westford
I did not agree with it liz..it's all a learning process and good spelling and good punctuation should be second nature
6:41 am
westford
but I am old school
6:41 am
Lizlin
There is a place for creativity but I also believe that the basics are very necessary.
6:41 am
lbdawger
gm, everyone. stats/clue for the lone A bottom row?
6:41 am
Lizlin
Also old school I guess - about some thins anyway!

6:43 am
Lizlin
yes - I agree with west ford!
6:43 am
westford
it's not the tribe..and not the sneeze either..took me forever with bab's help
6:44 am
Lizlin
i got it from an earlier clue, which referred to a double consonant ending being more usual!
6:45 am
Lizlin
The sneeze surprised me!
6:45 am
Lizlin
OK - 70 left for tomorrow. Enjoy your days :)
6:45 am

7:19 am
car.eeyore
He had the flu mist vaccine last Friday. I did not realize that is a live vaccine. Saturday morning he woke up with a high fever, aches, chills, etc. That lasted for about 3-4 days. Then it shifted to a low-grade fever with a cold. Now he has the pins and needles throat with the death rattle cough. :(

Hi all. You want whinig? Let me tell you about my day yesterday. Bitter cold..7:00am Had to sh*** our horse...8:00am rcv'd. notice we're being sued...9-2 very very busy at work...3:00pm lost our phones and internet. They were fixing something or other and forgot to put us back on...4:00pm son calls and asks me to come stay with him. He has to have surgery..6:00pm...finally in the kitchen cooking dinner...brr, it's cold in here. Turn up the thermostat..nothing. Furnace blower gone! Now did I mention it was bitter cold? and after hours? You try to get a repairman on a 25 below and after hours. I am dressed in long johns, ski pants,three wool sweaters and praying the pipes don't freeze before we get things fixed. I need a break!
7:29 am
crosshair

Mom, have you had popovers? Same thing.
7:33 am
gramma
I grew up w/yorkshire pudding but I'm a failure at making it.
7:33 am
Mom
no, no popovers either
7:33 am
Mom
and good morning Molly
7:33 am
crosshair
oven temp and pre heating the pans are critical to making good yorkies
7:33 am
crosshair
a smooth batter at room temp as well
7:34 am

traditionly they used to oil the pan with bacon fat but i find canola oil works well
7:34 am

gramma if I had a day like you've had I would be in bed with the covers pulled up over my head
7:34 am
gramma
cooked in grease, then butter and gravy on top. It's a wonder my heart still beats

I think you have had enough cancers for one person, Crossy
7:37 am
gramma
It was awful.I've always been the one to take the pets to be put down. My husband is too gentle a soul. Yesterday he had to do it because I'm no good with guns.

It's tough because she's in great shape but she's 30. This has only been her 2nd home. Hard to place her and see her go.
7:41 am
Mom

7:42 am
car.eeyore
Can you get another horse?
7:42 am
crosshair
30? that is a high age and will be tough to relocate
7:42 am
gramma
We talked about it but the cycle then continues.
7:42 am
crosshair
she will need a companion soon,one way or another
7:43 am
car.eeyore
how about another "older" horse that someone needs a home for?
7:43 am
car.eeyore
Perhaps a boarder?
7:43 am
gramma
Oh believe me we know. We couldn't have loaded her yesterday. She was way to upset
7:43 am

8:23 am

Here too, mid 20's today but very windy so it feels much colder
8:24 am
Haz1558
Maybe it's because the mountains don't refer to a specific range?
8:24 am

i dunno, i thought they did, but i'm sure there is some reason.
8:26 am

Haz1558
Is the weathr coming from Canada?
9:05 am
72 Temple Owl
no judi. only drive 20 miles. so it would be about 2 gallons round trip.
9:05 am
72 Temple Owl
yes it is.
9:05 am
smores
Or are they the ones that started the "self service" cr4 :)
9:05 am
bichon
Isn't gas much cheaper in NJ anyhow?
9:06 am
Judi
Well, that would kind of defeat the savings and convenience. Bummer. I'm off to do some real work. See you fine peoples tomorrow! *POOF*
9:06 am

NJ is our first gassing up stop on our way to VA
9:06 am

There is one full service station about 15 miles from me, I always stop whenever I'm over that way and top off.
9:08 am
72 Temple Owl
bich it used to be about 18 cents. but ater the hurricane the difference virtually disappeared. fascinating. but they do pump it , one does not have to get out of the car.
9:08 am
smores
Which is very nice this time of year.
9:10 am
72 Temple Owl
it is just amazing. one of the lingering economic effects of Sandy.

I miss full service gas stations. None left around here.
9:11 am
smores
Yes, it is sad
9:11 am
72 Temple Owl
they are not really full service in nj. the attendants just pump in 99$ of instances.
9:12 am
smores
That's the same with the one left here, not "full" service like it used to be, but they pump the gas.
9:13 am
smores
Probably look at me like I was nuts if I asked them to check my oil or clean my windshield :)
9:13 am
poodletoes
I believe Oregon is all full serve gas
9:13 am
72 Temple Owl
gosh, they don't even do it on turnpike rest stops, which is where it is really needed.
9:14 am
72 Temple Owl
you mean they check oil and wash windows, poodle?
9:15 am
poodletoes
my sister in law lives out there. all I remember is when we visit, they pump the gas. dont know about the rest

4:47 pm

good clues though =)
4:47 pm
Soodle
Winding. Pl 4/5 is a scheme, or plan. When 2 people are involved it could be a 6/24. Or else, slang word for a policeman, and an auction piece. And plural.
4:48 pm
windingwake
Aha! Thank you. That's all I needed for fireworks =)
4:48 pm
MollyL
I think we are to assume Michael meant that words were not necessary for him to understand. Just a guess. That was kind of vague.
4:48 pm
Soodle
Happy to be of use!
4:49 pm
bichon
I hate to wind up a series and not know everything. He was such an enigma.

Beloved and I just started watching "The West Wing" series on Netflix, and WOW -- incredibly written and reflective of the real wheeling/dealing.

West Wing is one of the best shows ever made for television. It's been on Amazon Plus for a while, I did my marathon a few months ago.

Sorry, Amazon Prime.

Michnick
Oy, thanks Ch, didn't catch my sp mistake.
5:19 pm

Muffins looking goo-ood. They are made with spelt flour, stevia and only a teensy bit of sugar, so I can sample one tonight.
5:20 pm
ch1212
It's so articulate, beautifully written and acted. The writers don't talk down to the audience -- there is a great presumption of intelligence.
Mich, I was just having fun. I get those two words mixed up all the time :)
5:20 pm
Michnick
It's fine, CH, you pointed it out so elegantly!
5:21 pm
MollyL
And, as with any well written show, the characters are very well developed.

Thanks, Michnick. Your recipe sounds delicious. I may try some with Truvia and a tiny bit of sugar.

Ru, there you are. 1) Thanks for posting the info on NB. I too was shocked and saddened. 2) I tried to click on your profile by going through the rankings page, but it shows you are not a 'member' because your name is not linked. Apparently I can only click on it when you are on here. How did you set that up?
5:38 pm
rururocks
I think it's because my name is in black and reconized for completing grids
5:39 pm
MollyL
Un-click SHOW PROFILE at the top of your My Account page.

Hmmm... so there isn't a box members can check on to indicate they don't want their profile accessed unless they ..... OH, never mind. THANK YOU MOLLY!

Yes. I got a jolt of hyperalertness (I know, no such word) in terms of trusting my online babble friends, but I suppose it's good to be reminded now and then. I just hope the experience doesn't sour the sense of community we have here.

6:03 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
we all use nicknames in here and there was a player named nancy boy some time back
6:03 pm
MollyL
Nancy Boy wasn't crazy or trollish. The made up person was very funny, nice and sweet most of the time.
6:04 pm
Lizlin
I said it before but if adults can be so easily taken in by a funny, sweet sounding person, how much more so for kids?
6:04 pm
MollyL
Which is why so many people were taken in by the hoax.
6:04 pm
mkg
anyone have clue for co 5 16 the first co word?
6:04 pm
dcseain
based on what i found in Twitter today, it appears the hoaxster may be Nigerian.
6:04 pm
mkg
so what if he or she was made up? someone pretended to be her or him. so what? it is fun. as long as they werent nasty
6:05 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

6:05 pm
rururocks

6:06 pm
Minveryork
I guess he/she did not want to continue hoax when it was posted that NancyBoy died of Malaria or something.
6:06 pm
MollyL
Can you just explain the Twitter thing here, for those of us who don't Twitter.
6:06 pm

6:08 pm
dcseain
J.C., BoyGeorg, ShivFitz, and nacyboy all eappeared here about the same time, and were all interconnected here and elsewhere on the web.
6:09 pm
Minveryork
The Boy George who babbled wasn't the REAL Boy George?
6:10 pm
dcseain
and if they comminicated with people outside of here, they used mostly methods not easily traceable
6:10 pm
rururocks
this sounds like a lot of hooey
6:10 pm
blueheron
where are they interconnected, other than here??
6:10 pm
dcseain
seemingly not, minver, but we'll never know for sure.
6:10 pm
ch1212
... clue for first co6 please?
6:10 pm
MollyL
Yes, but what does that have to do with Nigeria or Evangelical church streams? And who is to say that the Boy George on Twitter is the same person as the Boy George here/

6:21 pm

People here are very nice, but way too trusting. Which makes them an easy mark for internet imposters.
6:22 pm
Minveryork
Remember the whole story about Nancy Boy being from Korea,but being shunned by his parents because he was gay?Then dying from malaria while going back home to Korea after not having seen them for so many years.
6:22 pm

Unwritten PB rule is that if a name is in the grid, it is not a PB offense. Probably written due to the high occurrence of "Peri" in grids.

are you in for snow tomorrow too, teach?
7:10 pm
wvteach
yes, starting tomorrow afternoon through Sat morning - either 2 - 4 or 3 - 6 inches depending on who you listen to - just east of us on the ridges up to a foot
7:11 pm
wvteach
had about 1/2 - 1 inch this morning and roads covered in the morning, but all cleared off this afternoon
7:12 pm
dcseain
we had about that too, and they're saying for here 1-2 inches starting tomorrow afternoon.
7:12 pm

7:12 pm

lived in DC area and grew up in Illinois and knew how to drive in the snow - but it was flat there - here everything is on a hill - you are either at the bottom, side or top of the hill - makes driving very different
7:13 pm
dcseain
I learned to drive here, so i'm used to the hills.
7:13 pm
wvteach
this mornig just waved my hand over the windows - it was that powdery
7:13 pm
dcseain
I remember asking my uncle 'on what hill?' when he suggested we take the kids sledding in the Cleveland area.
7:14 pm
wvteach
there are hills in Cleveland - where the dunes left ridges - my sister lives there and have taken the kids sledding there - but one hill was even artificially made
7:14 pm
dcseain
and most are in a park or in the Emerald Necklace. Compared to here, it's flat.
7:15 pm
wvteach
compared to here, the DC area is flat
7:15 pm
dcseain
Though the Cleveland Zoo makes the National Zoo seem flat by comparison.
7:15 pm
dcseain
indeed, so!
7:16 pm

9:56 pm
jmcnrick

9:56 pm
jmcnrick

9:56 pm
jesdraggon

9:57 pm
jmcnrick
(note to self: bring dishes for self when visiting jes)
9:57 pm

9:58 pm
jmcnrick

9:58 pm
smores
Hilarious...
9:58 pm
jmcnrick
hahahaha
9:59 pm
jesdraggon
heh. the work i bring home is usually more bizarre than that.... speaking of, i should take a picture of the chameleon and update my icon...
9:59 pm
jmcnrick
sounds good
10:00 pm
jesdraggon
anybody want to adopt a paraplegic chameleon that has to be hand fed because he won't eat on his own? :D
10:00 pm
jmcnrick
i am enjoying my icon too muxh to change it . . . but i am sure i will
10:01 pm
jmcnrick
i am having enough trouble with my cat ty
10:01 pm
smores
I'll have to pass on the chameleon :)
10:01 pm
jmcnrick
it is nice that you care about him
10:01 pm
jesdraggon
what's wrong with your cat, jmc?
10:02 pm
jmcnrick
you heard the story about her saving my life, no?
10:02 pm
smores
<----hopes the bunny that peed on jes is much smaller that the one in her icon
10:02 pm
jesdraggon
no, i don't think i did, jmc
10:03 pm
jesdraggon
hah. indeed, smores, he's only about 8 pounds
10:03 pm
jmcnrick
dang smores if i saw a bunny that big i would run like hell
10:03 pm
smores
What No jmc, what happened?
10:03 pm
jmcnrick
she started refusing to come up stairs and sleep with me
10:03 pm
jmcnrick
so i stood on the stairs and called her and she came halfwayu p and stopped
10:04 pm
jmcnrick
so i picked her up and brought her upstairs and she ran like she was sh** out of a cannon down the stairs
10:04 pm
jesdraggon
what was leaking upstairs?
10:05 pm
jmcnrick
this got me to thinking about what was bothering her so i started thinking about how my gas space heater had been so wierd that i stoppe using it and i decided to call the HVAC guy $$$$$
10:06 pm
jmcnrick
he came and he said my flue was unlined (1920s house so not a surprise) stopped up with crud and the pipe was rusted through in my basement and my house was full of carbonmonoxide
10:06 pm
jesdraggon
eeesh
10:06 pm
jmcnrick
so he fixed all of that and for about a week then my cat wouldn't come DOWN stairs!
10:07 pm
jmcnrick
this was a problem because that was where her food was. . .and where she normally did her business
10:07 pm
jesdraggon
oh no... more broken things?
10:07 pm
herinfernallady
Hi and good kitty
10:07 pm
jesdraggon
heya lady
10:07 pm
jmcnrick
but i was painting my guest room and she peed on the plastic which made me think that after 15 years she would be willing to use a litter box and she did
10:07 pm
smores
wow jmc, lucky you have her
10:07 pm
jmcnrick
hi herin
10:08 pm
herinfernallady
Howdy and it seems the kitty also has decided to retire inside with luxury
10:08 pm
jmcnrick
any way she started coming downstairs and just refused to be on the floor.. .but now things are (moreorless)) normal and she now for the first time in 15 years uses a little box
10:09 pm
jmcnrick
yes she really loved cosd when he was he** i could hardly pry her away! haha
10:09 pm
smores
she never used one before?
10:09 pm
jesdraggon
hah. well, i am happy you had no ill effects, and that the hole in th flue didn't become a fire, and that the cat is well and using the box. many happy endings!
10:10 pm
jmcnrick
no she didn't . . . it's not as bad as you think. . . she went on the basement floor and outside
10:10 pm
jmcnrick
yep a great story of my life being saved by my cat!
10:10 pm
smores
mine all go outside
10:11 pm
smores
I have a litter box just in case, but it is rarely used
10:11 pm
smores
which is fine by me :)
10:11 pm
jmcnrick
she absolutely refused to use it for about a year and then i gave up
10:12 pm
jmcnrick
but when it was snowing she had to go somewhere and the basement concrete floor was it
10:12 pm
jmcnrick
people said my house did not smell like cat most of the time so it worked and saved me a fortune in kitty litter
10:13 pm
smores
We have 3 cats, the one we had 1st always wanted to go outside. When we got the other 2 they used the litter box for a few months and then started going outside with our oldest.
10:14 pm
jmcnrick
that's one of the things i like about cats is that they are self-training
10:14 pm
smores
It's funny they all go to the door and meow
10:14 pm
cosdem
sorry was showing ryan pics
10:15 pm
smores
He was the 1st cat I had that didn't want to use a litter box.
10:15 pm
jmcnrick
