Jump to: navigation, search Not to be confused with tuff, a porous volcanic rock also called 'tufa'.
This article is about the geological formation. For the historic Chinese name, see Southern Liang.
Tufa columns at Mono Lake, CaliforniaTufa is a variety of limestone, formed by the precipitation of carbonate minerals from ambient temperature water bodies. Geothermally heated hot-springs sometimes produce similar (but less porous) carbonate deposits known as travertine. Tufa is sometimes referred to as (meteogene) travertine;[1] care must be taken when searching through literature to prevent confusion with hot spring (thermogene) travertine. Calcareous tufa should not be confused with tuff, a porous volcanic rock with parallel etymological origins that is sometimes called "tufa".

How big was yesterday's grid? I wasn't online -- driving from son's place to the ferry, which left at 9:35 pm our time -- 25 minutes before the flip, and an hour and a half to Salt Spring Island, then 20 minutes home...
1:17 am
sprite
nice going
1:17 am

not a monster but big... 350+
1:17 am
Glantarell
it was too big to finish - somewhere around 370 words
1:18 am
jillibus
not as big as that record one -- I've forgotten the size
1:18 am
Glantarell
and it had a surprising number of obscure words for such a big grid - think i managed a thrid of it and gave up
1:18 am
Glantarell
over 700...
1:19 am

That's not much fun

no Lickety yesterday either

yes I think so, jilli. That was fun!

japanese energy then. Same sound as your word, jilli.
1:30 am

depends on which transcription system is used. Since chinese and japanese don't use our letters, it is transcripted for outside use.

also nice flosey. mine took me out for a devonshire tea(coffee), ex-DIL came. she burst into tears when i gave her a bouquet of yellow rose, and wished her a Happy Mother's Day. her own sons are on the opposite side of our continent.
2:14 am
flosey
oh, lovely rose, must be hard on your ex DIL, having her sons so far away
2:14 am

but how thoughtful of you, that was lovely, rose
2:14 am

it is flosey. she is such a beautiful person. it breaks my heart to see the agony she is going through.
2:15 am

as for my son, her ex....if i ever see him again, it will be way to soon. i so want to slap him HARD!!!!
2:16 am
flosey
ah, that's sad
2:18 am
flosey
but your heart must ache to be so upset with him
2:18 am
grannyrose
flosey, he's a 5 year old in a soon-to-be 40 year old body.
2:19 am
flosey
ah, rose, but that hurts
2:20 am
grannyrose
he had the same opportunities as my other 2 sons....he just doesn't want to follow the advice given by the counsellors. too much li4 hard work.
2:22 am
grannyrose
hun. i have decided to be thankful for what i have. an adoring husband, 2 loving sons and their wives, and 2 beautiful grandchildren, and a very loving ex-DIL. what more could a person want? Daniel has made his bed, he must lie in it!!
2:24 am
flosey
true, rose, but I know it hurts

I'm lovely dear and you?
6:35 am
smores
ah..I didn't get to it until evening
6:37 am
MollyL
Lesson learned. If the list is not up, email Lickety. He had no idea that the list had not updated. (He has it set to do that automatically). His computer was frozen. Only one person (thanks Erda) thought to email him.
6:37 am

Unreal. Restaurant 4Fourteen in Australia is offering a bacon and egg sandwich for $120.00. Why you ask? It has caviar and fois gras on it. Blech.

“Pepsi-Cola†is an anagram for “Episcopal,†which some believe the drink is named after. But then “Britney Spears†is an anagram for “Presbyterians,†so we’re inclined to discount this theory.

I hate it when I've lamented the time being so bad now and someone says it has always been that way but we just didn't hear about it as much. NO!! If things were this bad even in the 50's and 60's we would have heard about it...after all, we did have TV, radio and newspapers...not relying on the pony express!
9:28 am
crosshair
well,maybe the states is right.perhaps we should loosen our hand gun laws and everyone can be packing iron or everyone can have the right to be packing concealed iron that is
9:29 am
carleekat
well... we did mimi BUT...we relied on evening news and evening news had to choose the "big" stories...and for ratings..had to have equipment to get TO the story...back then..party line phones... and news crew with film on site...
9:29 am
MimiCat
It's the wild west here. See guys with guns in holsters plainly in sight...and it's legal. But at least you know they have them. Concealed is scarier.

I've always been sorry that my children never knew the freedom I had as a child.

Carlee, my house was the house all the kids came to. I stayed home so I let the other moms know that if their kids were scared or wanted company they could always come to my house.
9:35 am
carleekat
our neighbourhood ( for my kids) there would be neighbourhood sleepovers...boys and girls..they all just grew up together...ages 5-18... and there were nights there were 20 mids in tents in back yards...
9:35 am

I do believe it was a kinder world back then. Neighbors helped each other and the kids "belonged" to everyone and we all looked out for them. I still do watch out for my neighbors and will continue to do so.

When my kids were young our neighborhood was very affluent and most of the other parents were very concerned that their houses were perfect and the kids had to tiptoe around their own homes. In my house there was usually a blanket over the dining table for a tent and half of the time I was under there with them. I wanted my kids to be comfortable in their home.

i have rather dug my heels in, you see. the girls are 13 and 16. there is just NO reason for me to be doing it all myself. So I have to learn to live with their squalor, which is not pleasant, but if I don't draw a hard line, I will be waiting on them forever.

Hi, all! Just had nice little birthday dinner and now am having martinis....lots of martinis. My word skills may soon be impaired.........
9:00 pm
negativeneil
Hi Mimi. Sounds like fun.
9:00 pm
welki
shaken or stirred? vodka or gin? olive or onion? *living vicariously through mimi's martini's*
9:00 pm
MimiCat
OK, welki, let's face it....vodka straight...no martini.
9:01 pm
MimiCat
Not even shaken or stirred....barely hitting the ice.
9:03 pm
welki
well, you enjoy your birthday drinks - that's how crossy describes his martinis - just pass the bottle of vermouth over the glass and say a prayer to some franciscan brother - works for me :)
9:03 pm
MimiCat
My line is that we pour the liquor and say a prayer for the absent vermouth...same idea.
9:04 pm
Nef
hi again. I had to do switch laundry loads and got distracted along the way.
9:04 pm
MimiCat
After the heart attack last year, just glad to be alive for this birthday.
9:04 pm

happy birthday, Mimi!
9:05 pm
Nef
hi welki. How's the fishing?
9:05 pm
welki
season opens on wednesday - will be fishing on saturday :)
9:06 pm
Nef
oh. Our season opened last weekend and many of the la**s still had ice on them!
9:06 pm
MimiCat
Absolutely nothing better than fresh fish over a campfire.......oh, nostalgia....it has been years.
9:07 pm
welki
would be nice to have a perch fry this year - they were small last year
9:08 pm
welki
we're mostly catch and release - maybe keep a trout every couple of years
9:08 pm
Nef
best coating for fried fish that DH ever came up with was crushed Cheerios (one of the kids spent the 3 hours traveling to the resort crushing the whole bag -when he was 8)
9:08 pm
welki
seasoned? with what?
9:09 pm
welki
good strategy, nef - now he knows that it would take about a minute with a rolling pin (or a couple of seconds with a food processor)! *LOL*
9:09 pm
Nef
believe it or not; I think it was salt, pepper and cinnamon?
9:09 pm
MimiCat
When I was young my father stopped taking me fishing with him because he would catch a fish and I would beg him to release it saying "It's drowning in the air." Wow...that memory really takes me back!
9:10 pm
Nef
LOL, Mimi! :-)
9:10 pm
MimiCat
Am getting drunk and nostalgic.......
9:11 pm
welki
my oldest daughter was like that, mimi - she'd ask if i 'deaded' the fish, who 'deaded' the duck - the final straw for her was when i bought into a buffalo and butchered it in my kitchen - she's been a vegetarian every since
9:11 pm
welki
and ever since, too
9:12 pm
MimiCat
The cool thing was my father DID release the fish for me. He was such a kind and gentle man. And not biologically related to me, either....even more remarkable.
9:12 pm
Nef
Oh, my, welki! A buffalo? You butchered your part in the kitchen?
9:13 pm

hi nef and mimi!
