there's your feench coming out ruby

2:42 am

gapeach

(((((ruby))))))

2:42 am

rubyfoo

and I always look for the similar geological term....

2:42 am

rubyfoo

how are you peach? Do you ave spring? We have flowers, but it's still freezing at night and grey in the daytime. Awful!

2:45 am

flosey

goodnight Dee, sweet sleep

2:45 am

gapeach

Yes, finally, ruby. The Masters Golf Tournament starts Monday.....I hope you can see the grounds....they are beautiful, azelas and other beautiful flowers....I don't watch the game....just enjoy the course......I live about a quarter of a mile from the course. Traffic is horrendous. Hope you can catch a glimpse of it.

2:46 am

rubyfoo

we had terrific azaleas the first few years, but little by little they've been killed or crushed by snow

2:46 am

flosey

grew up in a golfing family, that Tournament was always on our TV

2:47 am

flosey

as well as many others

2:47 am

gapeach

Aw, that is too bad. They are one of my favorites.

2:48 am

rubyfoo

I don't know how much TV coverage there'll be. If it's not rugby or soccer or the tTour, there's not much else except spottily and impossible to predict

2:48 am

rubyfoo

and nary a baseball thrown!

2:50 am

flosey

watched a bit of the last Toronto BB game, being originally from the area, we remain faithful to them

2:50 am

gapeach

Flosey, a lot of people rent their homes for the week and get tremendous amounts of money for them. One family I know gets $30,000 just for the week....they provide daily maid service and everything. The people who rent are screened carefully. Both airports fill up with private jets and parking is unthinkable. It is getting to be rather circus like outside of the grounds.

2:50 am

rubyfoo

like me with the Mets

2:50 am

flosey

yes, exactly, ruby

2:51 am

rubyfoo

phantom: mosque

2:51 am

flosey

wow, Peach, it truly must be like a circus

2:52 am

rubyfoo

we have Irish friends who keep a small house here and rent it out every summer. It pays all their taxes and expenses for the year

2:52 am

flosey

that's a tidy sum to pick up for a week of rental - but you'd really want to know a lot about the renters

2:53 am

rubyfoo

I have too much "stuff", could never allow strangers in here

2:55 am

gapeach

Well, 'm dears, I think I will start winding down for the night....still have 72 for later in the day. Good luck to all. Oh, the Kentucky Derby is the first Saturday in May.....I'm still hoping for a triple crown....haven't had one since 1978, I believe. I was brought up in Kentucky but never attended a Derby....better view on the
TV. Nite, nite, dear peeps.

2:55 am

flosey

true, you'd want to get some of it out to protect -

2:55 am

flosey

that's a lot of work

2:56 am

flosey

am there too peach, 70 to go, should get to bed -- soon

2:56 am

rubyfoo

bye peach. It's like the Tour de France, it's better on TV, in person, they just zip past

6:07 am

Glantarell

Sunshine is glorious here, I have just put washing out to dry for the first time this year. Still unseasonably cold, though

6:07 am

MollyL

Ooo, there's another naughty girl (itching powder)

6:08 am

6:12 am

6:14 am

rubyfoo

flu is poop!

6:14 am

sprite

yeah, sure is. Poop!

6:15 am

Glantarell

*crosses fingers and toes* - never had flu

6:15 am

rubyfoo

(moi aussi, glanta)

6:16 am

sprite

I have this well-funded opinion now and that is that flu is highly overrated

6:17 am

Glantarell

i agree, definitely overrated, i should never try it

6:18 am

sprite

:)
So, how are you all doing today?

6:19 am

Glantarell

I m having a constructive day. Actually doen soe housework, some cooking, and some art. Lazing around in between.

6:20 am

rubyfoo

need the middle e for nbt and the 9 pls. stats might help

6:20 am

sprite

wow, sounds very good, Glant!

6:20 am

Glantarell

er6 - latin mistakes

6:20 am

Glantarell

or eq6 - to be the same as

6:20 am

rubyfoo

whatever drugs you're taking glant, send some over here, please. I have no extra energy beyond keeping the household together

6:20 am

Glantarell

9 is a weird word - opp of front and a small rodent

6:21 am

Glantarell

re9

6:22 am

Glantarell

ruby, i have been off the alcohol for weeks other than the occasional glass and have been following a diet to improve health. I have lost 10% of body weight, which is a big health milestone, apparently

6:22 am

sprite

aw cute word. Thanks Glant

6:22 am

rubyfoo

didn't get the word, but that is good newsd for your health, glant!

6:22 am

sprite

trice wow, Glant! You gooooo, girl. Lovely to hear.

6:23 am

Glantarell

but i know from past experience that eating as healthily as possible makes a big dofference to my physical and mental wellbeing. discovered that during cancer treatments

6:23 am

Glantarell

ruby re4 +mo5

6:23 am

rubyfoo

I just fixed my scale and learned that my weight fluctuates 4 lbs a week

6:23 am

sprite

ruby: the backside + rodent that would be a bird if it started with tit

6:24 am

Glantarell

i think everybody's weight fluctuates with a 5lb range - depends when you last drank, went to the toilet, how much you've sweated

6:24 am

sprite

very tr4, Glant. Healthy eating gives energy.

6:24 am

NonoNanette

morning babblers :)

6:24 am

rubyfoo

sweated? Not this year, glant!

6:24 am

Glantarell

soemtimes i sweat when i do the housework ruby LOL

6:24 am

MollyL

I agree Glant. Which is why I am always surprised at the people who freak out about a one to four pound weight gain.

6:24 am

NonoNanette

Sprite what a cute clue!

6:24 am

rubyfoo

hi hi no no

6:25 am

Glantarell

afternoon Nanette

6:25 am

sprite

hi Nanette :)

6:25 am

rubyfoo

I was ust surprised as I had no idea what I weighed as my scale was hors de combat for a long time

6:25 am

Glantarell

I just weigh myself when I get up on Saturday mornings

6:26 am

rubyfoo

when my weight dropped from 120 to 100, I used to weigh myself every morning. But as it was down to 97 when I started running, I haven't worried since.

6:26 am

rubyfoo

(I'm very short!)

6:27 am

Glantarell

I am still a VERY long way form 100 - I am down to 172, but I can now get into some clothes I've never worn, which is cheering

6:28 am

rubyfoo

I'll bet y ou're a head taller than I, glant

6:28 am

rubyfoo

now I won't weight myself for another year

6:29 am

Glantarell

I am 5ft 3ins

6:29 am

Glantarell

But I only want to get down to about150lbs

6:29 am

rubyfoo

very tall, glant! lol

6:30 am

rubyfoo

I used to be 5 ft 1, but not any more.....

6:30 am

MollyL

5"3' is very tall? No way I'm posting how tall I am then.

6:30 am

Glantarell

my mum used to be 4ft 11, she's about 4ft 9 now

6:30 am

rubyfoo

not only is molly naughty and smart, but she's very tall!

6:30 am

Glantarell

i think 5ft3 is at the bottom end of average

6:30 am

sprite

always depends on what you compare it to

6:30 am

Glantarell

my sister in law is 6ft 1

6:30 am

Glantarell

that is tall

6:31 am

rubyfoo

my son's wife is close to 6 ft and he is about 5 10

6:31 am

rubyfoo

the only good thing about being short is that you can wear very big shoes

6:32 am

Glantarell

?

6:32 am

rubyfoo

I have great shoes!

6:32 am

Glantarell

oh, you mean very high heels

6:32 am

MollyL

I think she means high heels.

6:32 am

6:32 am

MollyL

Hey, I may be tall, but I can strap on the spikes with the best of them. : P

6:33 am

Glantarell

I have a whole selection of great, funky and colourful shoes, but they are all flat - and very comfortable

6:33 am

rubyfoo

I don't dress up often, but when I do ----- great shoes!

6:33 am

rubyfoo

including red-orange crocodiles

6:33 am

MollyL

I don't care for platforms, they are what I call "ankle breakers".

6:33 am

Glantarell

many of mine are turquoise

6:34 am

rubyfoo

tell us the truth, molly, how tall are you?

6:34 am

rubyfoo

I thought that Herin was our tallest

6:34 am

MollyL

I'm 5'8".

6:34 am

rubyfoo

I can even dance in platforms.....

6:35 am

rubyfoo

I thought you would say 6 3

6:35 am

Glantarell

ah, 5 ft 8 is the top end of average *grin*

6:35 am

rubyfoo

5 8 is perfect!

6:36 am

rubyfoo

in college, I dated Paul Simon because I was the only girl shorter than he

6:37 am

Glantarell

THE Paul Simon?

6:37 am

rubyfoo

yes, the one and only. He is VERY short!

6:37 am

MollyL

Yes Glant, Ruby is our celebrity dater.

6:38 am

rubyfoo

He was one year ahead of me at the local college

6:38 am

Glantarell

i know he's very short, is he very nice?

6:38 am

godthaab

Are you into music too?

6:38 am

rubyfoo

and molly is ghost-writing my sotry

6:38 am

Glantarell

I avoid celebrity like the plague LOL, but guessing Ruby dated jim in his pre-celebrity days

6:38 am

rubyfoo

I only knew him when he was 17 -- who knows

6:38 am

sprite

hiya godthaab

6:38 am

rubyfoo

story, even*

6:38 am

godthaab

Hi!

6:39 am

Glantarell

Hi Godthaab

6:39 am

godthaab

Hi Giant!

6:39 am

rubyfoo

he had a band in high school, also with Garfunkel

6:39 am

rubyfoo

but he was the only boy I knew who had a car; everybody else was too poor

6:40 am

rubyfoo

he ad a '57 Chevy convertible, red and white

6:40 am

rubyfoo

I think it was called Tom and Jerry, but I'm not sure my memory is correct as I didn't know him then

6:41 am

rubyfoo

hi godthaab

6:41 am

godthaab

Hi ruby!

6:41 am

rubyfoo

I was never into celebrities as such, but I've known a few, probably from living in NY

6:42 am

rubyfoo

and if molly sends me an e-mail, I'll name names lol

6:42 am

MollyL

She dated one of The Lollipop Guild too, but she doesn't talk about that. : P

6:42 am

sprite

you are correct, ruby, wiki says "egan performing together in their junior year as Tom and Jerry, with Simon as Jerry Landis and Garfunkel as Tom Graph (names they were given by the recording studio)"

6:42 am

rubyfoo

and she'll be shocked1!

6:42 am

rubyfoo

and I was a giant

6:42 am

Glantarell

I am either too young or too foreign to know about the Lollipop Guild

6:43 am

MollyL

Hint: Wizard Of Oz

6:43 am

rubyfoo

isn'tthat from the Wizard of Oz, the "little people"?

6:43 am

rubyfoo

snap, molly. I've heard that the new movie is a flop

6:43 am

MollyL

It was a joke...that obviously...went over...very...badly...

6:44 am

rubyfoo

(I got it)

6:44 am

MollyL

I knew the new movie was going to be a flop as soon as I saw the bimbos they cast in it.

6:44 am

sprite

amazing that tsar is a phantom in this grid

6:44 am

rubyfoo

I love the original movie and my son was brought up on OZ books, has many of the original editions

6:45 am

Glantarell

i am lost - which new movie - don't tell me somebody thought it was a good idea to remake the WoO????

6:45 am

rubyfoo

it's twoo, glanta, and a big mistake!

6:45 am

Glantarell

some movies are such classics that you just shouldn;t go there

6:46 am

rubyfoo

I havee tried to get DH to Watch it, as it often appears on FR TV, but he won't. But the "horse of many colors" is Worth the price of admission! Did you know that they did that with Jello?

6:46 am

Glantarell

Well it's not far for us in Britain and Europe.

9:30 am

72 Temple Owl

no! until i double check who's travelling, i am always startled.

9:30 am

bichon

There's a Washington in Britain?

9:30 am

72 Temple Owl

and i hae a bad case of wanderlust right now anyway. but best be wandering off for errands anon.

9:31 am

Sandieangel

That is where I am at the moment. I live in the original Washington where the Washington family originate. We have Washington Old Hall, which was their home just down the road from us.

9:33 am

bichon

I've never heard of it. I would have thought they would change the name <ggg>

9:34 am

Sandieangel

The town is in the north east of England. Near to Newcastle. There is a plaque in Durham cathedral about George Washington's father and Washington Old Hall celebrate Independence Day on the 4th July.

9:37 am

bichon

Learn something new every day

9:44 am

MollyL

I think it was Washington's great-grandfather who came to the colonies from Britain.

9:46 am

ingrate.

9:48 am

Sandieangel

Not exactly sure but there is a plaque to John Washington in Durham Cathedral.

9:49 am

MollyL

Lots of traveling back and forth in those days, especially for education.

9:51 am

That would be him Sandie. John Washington is George Washington's great-grandfather.

9:52 am

gemini_J13

hey,, working on genealogy,,, thanks for the info!!

9:53 am

Sandieangel

Ah well. That explains it. You should come to Washington Old Hall sometime. It is very interesting.

9:54 am

MollyL

I think it would be fascinating to see the origins of the founding fathers. Lots of history in your country Sandie.

here they are hip deep in the battle over raw milk,round barn.people even get around the dairy council rules by buying a cow together and going co-op and sharing the milk vs actually selling the milk

4:50 pm

4:50 pm

but makes amazing butter!

4:50 pm

howdy welki

4:51 pm

crosshair

i would buy a share in a cow myself just to get that high butterfat content for good honest butter

4:52 pm

lynxxx

They wouldn't be able to stop people making their own butter - or drinking raw milk would they?

4:53 pm

RoundBarn

cfoss, read my book--it's all about what you're talking about. I think my icon is raw milk (a kid out it on) --look up roundbarnstories on the web. In the movie, I'm a four year old rabbit. Or maube 3 yrs old.

4:54 pm

lynxxx

hi Welki

4:54 pm

crosshair

heaven forbid people would dare make their own butter,lynxx lol

4:54 pm

crosshair

i make it once in a while with 25% cream but it needs more bf

4:54 pm

RoundBarn

yes, yhry are trying to stop people. If you buy it you have to bring your own container and stand on the other side of the property line and look the other way.

4:54 pm

phantom mountain--ararat--anyone been there? I'm signing off we have a big event tonight to celebrate the Innocence Project, we are getting people out of person who have been wrongly incarcerated for as long as 20, 30 years.

5:02 pm

crosshair

you have not had real butter till you have had some for 50%+ butterfat

5:02 pm

RoundBarn

I meant out of PRISON

5:02 pm

crosshair

thank god,dna is making great inroads into releasing those wrongly jailed

5:03 pm

RoundBarn

it takes commitment and money. old lawyers and judges don't like to be proved wrong. And police.

5:03 pm

crosshair

there are cold case groups all over ,led often by retired law enforcement people who do nothing but comb over old case and redo them with new dna tech

5:04 pm

RoundBarn

we have groups of students doing that in our state

5:05 pm

crosshair

behind the scenes many have to wait till judges move on,die or retire,then they can safely jump on cases without ruffling feather of sitting judges

5:07 pm

crosshair

or these days i guess they just give them a tv show lol

5:41 pm

7:11 pm

72 Temple Owl

7:26 pm

72 Temple Owl

9:44 pm

jesdraggon

how goes the battle?

9:44 pm

lbdawger

i don't think i lost the battle, but my body sure feels like it did. long day. how about you, Jes?

9:45 pm

jesdraggon

today's been mostly good. past few days have been made stressful by the cse of stupidity the kid seems to have contracted.

9:47 pm

lbdawger

uh oh, doesn't sound good for anyone involved

9:48 pm

jesdraggon

frustrating how a kid so smart can suddenly get so dumb when hormones are involved.

9:50 pm

rururocks

what was the stupidity?

9:50 pm

lbdawger

ahhh, hormones...kinda sums it all up.

9:50 pm

rururocks

<---is in total control of his hormones..

9:50 pm

jesdraggon

many and long, ruru. but then he compounded stupidity by lying to us.

9:51 pm

jesdraggon

so now he's on restriction, and his girlfiend is freaking out about us not letting him see her.

9:51 pm

rururocks

<--- Liar

9:51 pm

Jillyjill

What age is he?

9:51 pm

jesdraggon

he's 16

9:51 pm

jesdraggon

and despite being told that we have confiscated his phone, has called and sent 9 texts. we are debating whether we should be reading said texts.

9:51 pm

rururocks

ah...

9:52 pm

lbdawger

the wonderful age of drama. poor Jes. just remind him you are a vet and know how to use the tranq gun! *wink wink*

9:52 pm

rururocks

you should

9:53 pm

lbdawger

how's he texting if you have his phone?

9:53 pm

rururocks

read the texts I mean

9:53 pm

jesdraggon

and when we told her that he was not going to be able to talk to her for a while, she started in on the "someone should slap the silly twit" bs.

9:54 pm

jesdraggon

"You are so selfish, ou're not thinking of him, you're only thinking of yourselves, you have no idea how much this is going to hurt him, don't blame me when you lose him, don't blame me when he stops talking to me!"

9:54 pm

jesdraggon

he's not texting, dawg, she's texting his phone, which he doesn't have right now.

9:55 pm

rururocks

uh.. this doesn't sound like long relationship material for him anyways

9:55 pm

lbdawger

ah, i'm torn on reading the texts. Trust issues for him, and just letting it all ride. How long is he to be without phone? Have the texts blocked and see how she feels about that!

9:55 pm

jesdraggon

no, i don't think it's a healthy relationship at all, but has forbidding a 16 year old to date "that girl" ever worked well for anyone? hah.

9:56 pm

jesdraggon

2 weeks sans phone. how long after that before he gets to visit or have visitors depends on how he handles himself in the next couple weeks.

9:56 pm

Jillyjill

Tough situation jes..so sorry...

9:56 pm

rururocks

worked for Bill Clinton jes :D

9:56 pm

lbdawger

drama queen. she's going to milk it for all she can. I hope he realizes why he's in trouble and how he got there.

9:57 pm

jesdraggon

meanwhile, I'm assigning essay assignments - first of which was a 2 page essay on what qualities make a relationship healthy :D

9:57 pm

lbdawger

definitely block the texts, you're paying for them or someone is.

9:57 pm

rururocks

did you shut down his email on his computer too

9:57 pm

jesdraggon

oh, he knows, dawg. We don't believe in slapping random punishments out - we had a very long discussion about what we were disappointed in, what we were angry about, what he was being punished for, and what might seem like punishment but isn't intended as such.

9:58 pm

jesdraggon

yes ru, he's de-internetted :)

9:58 pm

jesdraggon

except for supervised use for the purpose of researching his essays

9:59 pm

lbdawger

good luck Jes. parenting teens is not for the faint of heart! stay firm! must be off to the pillows. take care everyone!

9:59 pm

jesdraggon

sleep sweet, dawg

10:02 pm

Jillyjill

Niters dawg...sweet sleeps

10:06 pm

rururocks

sounds like you're doing all the right things to me jes

10:06 pm

rururocks

his girlfriend surely isn't done causing trouble however

10:07 pm

jesdraggon

no, she's certainly still at it... it's hard to believe how manipulative a little girl can be, and how naive the boy is. *sigh*

10:07 pm

Jillyjill

Hopefully he will learn his lessons on women now, and not wait until he gets married to the wrong one...

10:08 pm

jesdraggon

I, of course, put a lot of blame sq6ly on her mother, because that's probably where she learned it.

10:08 pm

jesdraggon

thankfully, still too young to marry in this state!

10:08 pm

jmcnrick

this conversation brings back bad memories of a drama queen girl friend or too. . .

10:08 pm

jmcnrick

good news is he finanly got tireder of them than i was. . .

10:09 pm

10:11 pm

jmcnrick

i am sending email saying. . ."you didn't send me any information on income"

10:11 pm

jesdraggon

heh. can you kick the IRS in the butt and tell them to send mine, already? filed it ages ago.

10:11 pm

10:12 pm

jmcnrick

"no you cannot deduct your time at the charity"

10:13 pm

jesdraggon

filed through an accountant - same one my mother uses, and filed the same day. her return got here 2 weeks ago. mine is still not here

10:13 pm

jmcnrick

"don't need information for 2013. . . just for 2012"

10:14 pm

jesdraggon

I suppose you need their SSN and to know whether they're married to, jeez, that's SO invasive! :P

the accountant will have a pin number with which you can check on your return. . .

10:14 pm

jmcnrick

sometimes it takes a couple of tries to jump through all the hoops with those electronic returns. . .

10:14 pm

jesdraggon

IRS page says it's been filed and is being processed... that's it. no timeline or useful info :P

10:15 pm

Jillyjill

Sheesh, my eyes are giving out...13 left...not sure I am going to make it...the ta's are a pain in the ****

10:15 pm

jmcnrick

what i love are the emails back two days after they have signed off on the return saying "why didn't you put our 6 month old on the return". . . maybe because you didn't tell me you had a new kid?

10:16 pm

jmcnrick

go jilly go!

10:16 pm

jmcnrick

or they don't tell me they moved. . . .

10:16 pm

jesdraggon

10:16 pm

jmcnrick

10:16 pm

jesdraggon

i bet you never get tired of that one. i certainly never tire of hearing it, and i don't even work in taxes!

10:18 pm

jmcnrick

i had some new clients this year. . . the wife's cousin "does returns" and last year had them file separately to max Earned income credit and so the IRS wouldn't get suspicious had the husband use the cousin's address. . . the IRS caught on right away however. . .

10:19 pm

jmcnrick

i tell them if the dog has a social security number we can talk about it. . .

10:20 pm

jmcnrick

all these words look the same. . .

10:22 pm

jesdraggon

i bet that was fun for them

10:23 pm

Jillyjill

The t's are pure evil....

10:23 pm

jmcnrick

well the good news is that because the IRS caught it and didn't give them the money without further proof they were not out as much as if they had gotten the refund and had to repay it. . .

10:25 pm

jmcnrick

i dont even have 1/3 o fthe T words

Minveryork

Hello all! Just got back from a little unexpected adventure

10:51 pm

jessmom

hi min - do tell!

10:55 pm

Minveryork

I went out to go pick up my husband at the bar and ran out of gas. A very nice family picked me up and brought me home. Then I called my friends to bring me back to my car with some gas. It was my fault for driving on an empty tank. Always drive around 'til the light comes on.

10:57 pm

jessmom

I do the same, Min. I've been lucky so far. It's never happened to me (knock on wood). I'm glad you found nice people to help.

11:05 pm

Minveryork

Actually, I didn't really find them, they found me. I took a chance waving someone down to help me at 11:15 at night.First time that has happened to me and hopefully the last time also. I should really learn my lesson now.

11:10 pm

ChrissieDee

Min, I love your pictures of Jack, he looks so intelligent and happy

11:12 pm

ChrissieDee

Are you babbling to wind down after your adventure? Not a very relaxing grid.

11:12 pm

Minveryork

Thanks CrissieDee.I'm not sure if he looks happy in some of the pics but he is for the most part.Jack is semi-intelligent.

11:14 pm

torgone

I work for people like jack ..

11:15 pm

Minveryork

Began babbling before my unexpected adventure. Grid is not so relaxing since Lickety is taking a break today.I have a list in my profile, but I am not listing. Don't care if I finish grid or not. I am just hanging out until the flip

11:15 pm

ChrissieDee

lol tor

11:15 pm

Minveryork

I work WITH people like Jack

11:15 pm

torgone

Lickety's list is up ..

11:16 pm

ChrissieDee

With 68 left to find I am much of the same mine Min.

11:17 pm

Minveryork

I believe Jack is smarter than my Assistant Principal. My AP believes that Paris is a country. I so wanted to correct her when she said it was a country, but that is so typical of her

11:18 pm

Minveryork

Lickety's up?Since when?Still don't plan on finishing though

11:18 pm

ChrissieDee

ty tor, it wasn't when I went to bed. It's 5.17 am here and I'm waiting for the sand fairy to return with the sleep dust

11:19 pm

Minveryork

I am still getting Thursday's list even when I refresh the list

11:20 pm

Minveryork

Oops!I'm wrong.Got the current list now, but it says Sunday

Minveryork

Amazing on how much faster I can find words with the list!

11:22 pm

Minveryork

Thank you Lickety!

11:27 pm

torgone

It really is a great resource ..

11:28 pm

Minveryork

It is a really good sanity controller with these kinds of grids

11:33 pm

torgone

Indeed

11:37 pm

Minveryork

I am stopping at 199 words and 1999 points. Now I will just wait for the flip and clue whatever words I can if you need

11:38 pm

Minveryork
