how can one be gormless unless one has a gorm anyway?

12:34 am

jesdraggon

this grid is very frustrating. there are so very many phantoms... if i could just rearrange a couple of the letters, i'd have a bunch more words.

12:35 am

Erda

the Scrabble distionary has a gorm word, meaning to smear

12:36 am

12:41 am

rururocks

no.. not full price.. but we're okay with the price..and happy to unload it

12:42 am

VolleymomDee

Quick for around here. And I cannot believe you get to close in 15 days... also quick for here.... our minimum is usually 30 days or more.

12:42 am

rururocks

it's going to be a horse ranch I guess.

12:42 am

VolleymomDee

That IS fabulous! Nice use of property.

12:42 am

rururocks

he's waving all the inspections and just moving forward

12:42 am

rururocks

it's a magical place.. I'm glad he gets it

12:43 am

VolleymomDee

Great for you. I would NEVER buy any property anywhere without inspections; I hate surprises.

12:43 am

rururocks

now I'll get the Cottage furniture so I won't look like a college student

12:43 am

rururocks

it's mostly land dee. not a whole lot to inspect

12:44 am

VolleymomDee

I'm sure that will be helpful. Where is ms. ru going?

12:44 am

rururocks

not sure.. probably Healdsburg. we have to sell our house too

12:44 am

rururocks

we have an interested buyer there too

12:44 am

VolleymomDee

Listed with the same realtor?

12:45 am

rururocks

yes.. but we might have a person to come in and buy it in cash too

12:45 am

rururocks

then I can buy my own place

12:45 am

VolleymomDee

Ru, you really are fortunate!! So glad for you!

2:23 am

flosey

hi ruby

2:23 am

rubyfoo

hi flosey

2:23 am

rubyfoo

has spring arrived?

2:24 am

flosey

no winter has, hahaha, we had quite a fall today, about 4 or so " but winds too, had a tree fall across our bridge, breaking the railing on both sides

2:25 am

rubyfoo

are you cut off from the world?

2:25 am

flosey

no, hubby went down and cut it up - was pretty big

2:26 am

flosey

but daughter and 4 of her friends were over for the weekend, was a bit of a panic for a few minutes

2:26 am

rubyfoo

is the bridge visible from your house?

2:27 am

flosey

it was around 10:30 this morning - had to make breakfast on stove downstairs but power was restored in a couple of hours

2:27 am

rubyfoo

we've been so luck with our mild winter. Only one tiny snow, lots of rain but sunshine,too. All the spring flowers have started. We'll probably get 3 feet of snow in MRCH, BUT IT SHOULDN'T BE VERY COLD

2:29 am

flosey

no, and I didn't go down to see it, we're maybe about 1/4 mile from the road. All the snowdrops are out in full bloom, we have lots of them

2:29 am

o-o

23 days, 15 hours remain till Spring ... wind chills remain well below zero

2:30 am

flosey

hi o-o

2:30 am

rubyfoo

we don't have snowdrops, but th wild primroses are startig

2:33 am

flosey

primroses are various colours, right?

2:34 am

rubyfoo

most are pale yellow but some are luscious violet. They grow wild here, so it's a nice early surprise. Yellow ones come up next to our daffs, so that's always a treast, the only yellow things in my garden

2:39 am

lynxxx

Hello everyone. It is always so cheery to see Ruby getting excited about Spring flowers - another year has flown by

2:39 am

2:40 am

rubyfoo

The day of the week means nothing to me. Sorry Mondays are a concern for you.

3:35 am

puglet

I dont know why but mondays always seem blueish

3:36 am

o-o

When I was working, Sunday was a terrible day because Monday followed.

3:37 am

puglet

3:38 am

puglet

How many shaddows did you count yesterday-LOL

3:38 am

o-o

I do not do those things ... warped in mind is the plague.

3:39 am

o-o

Only ten. I did not feel like taking off my socks.

3:40 am

puglet

I think we each have some kind of plague to deal with

3:42 am

o-o

These annoying grids do not help.

3:42 am

puglet

3:44 am

23 days, 14 hours remain till Spring

3:45 am

puglet

3:47 am

3:48 am

Alexis Elise

Hi all. Haven't played for a while. Figured I'd drop in and say hello.

3:48 am

Hello, Alexis Elise

3:48 am

puglet

Hi and nice to meet you Alexis

3:48 am

Alexis Elise

Hi puglet. I believe we've chatted before

3:49 am

Alexis Elise

hi o-o

3:49 am

Alexis Elise

I think we bonded over being Hoosiers

3:49 am

o-o

Grids are grids ... find a word ... find another ... before long there are no more to find

3:49 am

puglet

Iam sorry I didnt remember

3:50 am

Alexis Elise

That's ok. It was a long time ago. I don't play much anymore

3:51 am

puglet

well Iam glad to meet up with you again then---how are things with you? Are you sick of this winter as Iam

3:52 am

Alexis Elise

I live in California now... but I can imagine. I hear from my family. This year has been awful for you guys

3:52 am

Alexis Elise

thin

3:52 am

Alexis Elise

oops

3:52 am

puglet

it has and it just dont want to stop--lol

3:53 am

puglet

I bet its nice and warm there, isnt it

3:53 am

Alexis Elise

My parents have both missed so much work in the last month

3:54 am

Alexis Elise

I moved here 4 years ago and sometimes I still can't believe how fantastic it is in the winter. It's been especially warm. We've had record-breaking days. Lots of 80's

3:55 am

puglet

that does sound so very nice compare to here right now-lol Have you been in the area that is having the drought

3:56 am

Alexis Elise

Oh ya. I can't remember the last time it rained

3:57 am

Alexis Elise

I hate rain so I'm not complaining

3:57 am

puglet

all your rain I think turned into snow for us I think--lol

3:57 am

Alexis Elise

After 32 years in Indiana and Illinois... I am content with one season.

3:57 am

Alexis Elise

Yes, you are getting it all

3:58 am

puglet

Iam happy for you that you have found a place of peace and happyness

3:58 am

Alexis Elise

have you always lived in indiana?

4:00 am

puglet

yes, I was born just a few miles from here and Ive lived here for alittle over 30 years

4:01 am

Alexis Elise

I still fly in from time to time. Most of my family is there.

4:02 am

Alexis Elise

After last winter I decided no more winter trips, though

4:02 am

puglet

we broke our record of the most snow ever and you missed out on it---dont that upset you--lol

4:03 am

Alexis Elise

I do miss sliding around in the car

4:03 am

Alexis Elise

That was pretty fun

4:04 am

Alexis Elise

And it's nice how the snow packs into the potholes and makes the roads nice and smooth

4:04 am

puglet

yeah it is--lol

4:06 am

o-o

snow falls from the sky. If snow were more careful it would not be falling so often.

4:07 am

puglet

Iam not getting nowhere today on this grid, think I will take a break and come back later today. So nice to see you again Alexis and I will try very hard to remember the next time--lol-------------OO, take care friend--hugs

4:07 am

Alexis Elise

Later, Puglet

4:07 am

o-o

Be well, pugs

4:08 am

Alexis Elise

Ummm... I guess I never thought of it that way. Snow DOES need to be more careful.

cabotage is coastal navigation although your answer is much more sensible, obviously x

4:53 am

jwr

thanx worzel - the word would have stuck in my head, I think, but I have nightmares about people challenging words I don't have definitions for.

4:54 am

jwr

4:55 am

worzel

they are torturing us, hurshy. I'm sure that as soon as I have a busy day, there'll be a 500+ GRID

9:19 am

Haven't looked at the grid yet

9:30 am

rubyfoo

I just read the quotes in your profile, hurshy, very funny, especially Madeleine Albright. And it sure beats watching dog videos on youTue!!!

9:31 am

hurshy

she said that whilst a guest on the daily show. very pithy.

9:31 am

rubyfoo

9:32 am

no princess bride quote in there because if i started, i'd end up with the whole move script in there.

9:34 am

harpjane

finished! See you at the flip!

9:36 am

Ah, The Princess Bride. Not a chick flick. : D

9:37 am

Beloved and I were marveling that Princess Buttercup turns out to be Clair Underwood in House of Cards!

I have often marveled that Princess Buttercup married Sean Penn.

9:38 am

ch1212

yes! Even though they are divorced now.

9:39 am

hurshy

ding ding ding!

9:40 am

hurshy

william goldman i think said that he thought if she'd had the drive and passion for acting, instead of wanting to focus on being a mom, she'd have been one of the great actresses of her time

9:41 am

MollyL

Well, I can't fault her for that. The rewards of acting are fleeting. The rewards of being a Mom are life long.

9:41 am

hurshy

not that he was criticizing her choices. just complimenting her talent.

9:42 am

stevedallas

fireworks

9:42 am

MollyL

I think it's a nice compliment.

Very tough guy, but it probably didn't do the break any good.

Since it was an "in line fracture" I don't think it was a problem. Now how to keep him occupied for a week. Polo is afraid of him

Good Evening, Everyone. Is this even worth starting at this time of day?

8:21 pm

8:21 pm

flosey

you have almost 4 hours?

8:21 pm

Drat! I just sent myself to the PB talking with my grandson....

8:22 pm

flosey

do you have Lickety?

8:22 pm

uusue2

hi all!

8:22 pm

Nef

Yes, flossy.

8:22 pm

flosey

hi Sue

8:22 pm

Nef

(to both questions)

8:22 pm

Nef

hi sue! How are you?

8:23 pm

uusue2

I am good, nef! How are you doing?

8:24 pm

Nef

Just trying to survive the cold and snow here; getting real tired of both these days

8:24 pm

uusue2

same here! I am sure you have more cold and snow than we do but it is getting tiresome here as well.

8:25 pm

MimiCat

Hi, everyone! I'm so excited..I got a couple new things for my balcony patio...one big color changing star and three smaller ones on staggered cords. We're also having record heat here...80s.

8:26 pm

Nef

We've now had 45 days with below zero weather; and I have snow banks on either side of my driveway that are 5 feet high.

8:26 pm

uusue2

hi mimi!

8:26 pm

MimiCat

((sue))

8:26 pm

MimiCat

We always want what we don't have...I'd LOVE some snow...though not as much as you've had this year.

8:27 pm

Nef

hi Mimi. SOMEDAY we might see those temps again (not really positive that that will happen this year right now!)

8:27 pm

uusue2

we had a thaw and rain a few days ago; now we are back in the deep freeze so everything that melted (which unfortunately was NOT all the snow) is now solid ice.

8:27 pm

Nef

Yep, but the key word is SOME snow, not tons of it

8:27 pm

MimiCat

I remember those conditions...raised in Ohio and lived in Michigan a couple of years. Very dangerous when that happens.

8:28 pm

uusue2

fireworks!

8:28 pm

Nef

We had 2 days with temps in the low 30'

8:28 pm

MimiCat

Do either of you have Netflix?

8:28 pm

MimiCat

Hooray for sue!

8:28 pm

uusue2

My son has it, mimi, but I haven't used it myself

8:28 pm

dan2bit

woo hoo uu! me too!

8:28 pm

Nef

and then on Thursday eve sleet and another foot of snow. Our roads are still terrible

8:29 pm

MimiCat

They just added one of my favorite movies of all time to both streaming and DVD....Same Time, Next Year. Unbelievably wonderful movie.

8:29 pm

MimiCat

Hey, dan....long time no "see."

8:29 pm

pida 1

congrats dan & sue WTG

8:29 pm

uusue2

yay dan!

8:29 pm

Nef

We have Netflix too. I don't usually watch movies, but DH and our grandson do

8:30 pm

uusue2

sounds awful, Nef! I hope you don't have to go out in it much.

8:30 pm

Nef

Yay uusue and dan2bit!!! WTG!!!

8:30 pm

MimiCat

Do yourself a favor, Nef, and watch this one. I've watched it so many times I know all the dialog! And the theme song is so beautiful.

8:31 pm

MimiCat

Oh, dan, just look at your precious little one...so adorable.

8:31 pm

Nef

I will try and find it sometime when I get the chance then.

8:32 pm

MimiCat

I now have a video of my 1-1/2 year-old grandson playing with the Mozart Cube I gave him for Christmas and keep time with the music....so cute.

8:33 pm

Nef

I wish they had some TV programs that I'd like to see again: Rumpole of the Bailey, and The Joy of Painting (with Bob Foss, I think it was?) Now that we are both retired; I'd like DH to see them (and maybe start a hobby too)

8:33 pm

o-o

Only 303 days and 3 hours+ until Christmas.

8:34 pm

MimiCat

I finally decided to get an air filter for my home. I'm allergic to everything and always need allergy medication. Allergic to cats...have three...allergic to dust...live in the desert...I'm my own worst enemy. This filter is supposed to remove quite a bit of dust and pollen...keeping fingers crossed that I might actually be able to breathe again.

8:35 pm

MimiCat

Nef, try Hulu Plus. They have some great old shows...the original Bob Newhart show, Chicago Hope, St. Elsewhere...and my favorite WKRP in Cincinnati (I'm from Cincy but it is a great show).

8:36 pm

Nef

o-o; please don't rush the holidays along!

8:36 pm

MimiCat

I believe they also have the Mary Tyler Moore show and Rhoda.

8:37 pm

Nef

Thanks, Mimi; I will. we have some sort of a gadget that has Netflix, Hulu, You Tube and all sorts of other stuff on it ; our son gave it to us for Christmas; but I really haven't sat down and tried stuff out yet

8:37 pm

dan2bit

Mimi thank you! I am rather smitten myself

8:38 pm

o-o

Do they Gildersleeve and Fibber McGee and Molly?

8:38 pm

dan2bit

though she is currently down with bronchitis :-(

8:38 pm

MimiCat

I use a Roku box for streaming from both Nerflix and Hulu Plus as well as PBS and many others. Great investment for only $60 one time...with remote control.

8:38 pm

Nef

LOL! I worked evenings and nights for 37 years; I never saw any of those shows. Maybe now I'll find out why everyone watched them!

8:39 pm

MimiCat

Nothing worse than our babies being sick. I can tell you are just putty in her hands, dan...and that's the way it's supposed to be.

8:39 pm

Nef

(I don't even know what this things! Maybe it's Roku!)

8:40 pm

MimiCat

It's definitely worth the $8 each for Netflix and Hulu Plus streaming....so many great shows. Lot of wonderful Australian and British shows.

8:42 pm

MimiCat

I can watch all the episodes from The West Wing, and Highlander, and Ally McBeal...and so many others. Don't even miss cable...certainly don't miss the expense.

8:42 pm

kje

I don't have TV or cable, though will watch some shows via computer, Netflix, Hulu

8:43 pm

o-o

bob cummings and highway patrol broderick crawford

8:43 pm

Nef

so you don't need cable to get those shows? (We have Direct TV sattelyte thing; it would be nice not having to pay for that

8:44 pm

kje

no, don't need anything but internet

8:44 pm

MimiCat

Hi, kje! So good to see you here. No TV? I would suffer. I like watching these shows streamed to my HD TV.

8:45 pm

kje

most (but not all) shows can now be streamed either off the network site (CBS, NBC, etc), Hulu (even without the paid subscription), or watch past seasons via Netflix, so one season behind

8:45 pm

o-o

streets of san francisco karl malden and mike douglas

8:45 pm

MimiCat

Nope, you don't need anything but WiFi on your computer and the adaptor box (of any sort). With Roku (and most of the others) you pay for it one time and that's it and just $8 a month each for Netflix and Hulu Plus.

8:45 pm

Nef

Well, considering how high Comcast is for just the internet and phone these days; maybe we can cut out Direct TV. (I wish that they had internet connection here; they have much better service than Comcast!

8:46 pm

kje

well, I have a TV screen now - bf installed it a couple months ago, but went without even that for about 6 years or more - I just watched stuff on the laptop

8:46 pm

MimiCat

Do you have Century Link where you are, Nef?

8:47 pm

kje

FW

8:47 pm

Nef

Nope, Mimi. Comcast has a strangle hold on the St. Paul side of town

8:47 pm

Nef

YAY, kje!!! WTG!!!

8:48 pm

MimiCat

That's my internet/phone company and they have something I've been waiting for called Prism TV. No dish, just runs off WiFi lines and you can get all the shows you get from cable/DirecTV. Starts out at around $50 for 150 channels. They keep saying it's almost available here....looking forward to it.

8:48 pm

MimiCat

You know, Nef, to my way of thinking that's a monopoly and illegal....agree?

8:49 pm

o-o

Have you gotten any drought relief, kje?

8:49 pm

Nef

I agree, Mimi. And Comcast is now trying to gobble up another of its' competitors too.

8:50 pm

MimiCat

When Prism is available, we'll at least have two competing "cable" services. But I did like DirecTV, just couldn't get it here because I have no line-of-sight from my apt.

8:50 pm

Nef

phone, BRB

8:52 pm

kje

I get internet via ATT, no land line, no other fees except mobile phone

8:53 pm

MimiCat

We don't have that here yet, kje...but my friend in Atlanta has that for cable, internet and phone. The only problem is that when it goes down, everything is gone.

8:54 pm

o-o

Have you gotten any drought relief, kje?

8:54 pm

Nef

back. I'm surprised that phone call was so short (she usually talks a lot!)

8:55 pm

MimiCat

The Babble gods intervened, Nef!

8:55 pm

Nef

ATT really was a pain when we had it; I wouldn't go back to them for anything! (Long story; I won't go into it)

8:56 pm

MimiCat

Well, am going to get some dinner and relax with a movie...up early tomorrow at 5 to work. Great seeing everyone and hugs all around.

8:57 pm

o-o

Have you gotten any drought relief, kje?

8:58 pm

A cold mass of arctic air will bring temperatures that are 10 to 30 degrees below normal across the north-central U.S. through Tuesday. The coldest air will be from the northern Plains to the Great Lakes, where highs will be in the single digits and teens. The cold air will spread through the Midwest, Ohio Valley and to the East Coast by midweek.

10:41 pm

phandmd

I agreee, I am there with you. We had lovely 60 degree weather over the weekend and are back in the 30's are we are expecting some snow on Wednesday... sigh.

11:02 pm
