Are we all recovered from last night's risqué chog?
5:46 am

I missed it. You will have to fill me in on all the naughty details, ruby.
5:49 am
rubyfoo
we were riffing and poetizing about Soodle's forthcoming visit

I missed last nights risque chog. What did I miss?
5:50 am

sound like you girls are already planning trouble:)
5:50 am

Of course, it depends on what time we're actually talking - as my evening is American afternoon
5:50 am

I have one word left - en6/27
5:51 am
rubyfoo
for soodle and me it was after dinner, so for the Americans, it was pre-prandial
5:51 am
rubyfoo
you are too smart, matty
5:51 am
crosshair
since both you and ruby are about 5 hours ahead of me, it should be easy to track down the naughty verses
5:51 am
mattygroves
No - I've just had longer to work on it :) But if anyone has the en6/27 any hint would be gratefully accepted
5:55 am

mm, not much of a chog history for last night. The must be in the previous one.
5:55 am

and now for all you scrabble fanatics, it is time for crossy's tidbit of the day!!!
6:03 am
crosshair
The highest scoring word in the English language game of Scrabble is 'Quartzy'. This will score 164 points if played across a red triple-word square with the Z on a light blue double-letter square. It will score 162 points if played across two pink double-word squares with the Q and the Y on those squares. 'Bezique' and 'Cazique' are next with a possible 161 points. All three words score an extra 50 points for having seven letters and therefore emptying the letter rack in one go.

The snow is melting due to rain and warm temps since Saturday. Today the temp will near 60. Creeks are swollen and flooding is a major concern.
6:04 am
Lizlin
Poor eeyore - shouldn't dress as a turkey that will be eaten :(

how are you set up for flooding scrabs?
6:05 am
Scrabbler
Thanks, Crossy. I aspire to play QUARTZY!
6:05 am
Lizlin
I read about the serious possibility of floods - hope that doesn't happen.
6:05 am
Scrabbler
I am not near a creek but my house is at the bottom of a gentlly sloped hill. I have a sump pump.
6:06 am
Lizlin
Hope you stay dry
6:06 am
Wolvie
oh boy- i hope the melt off goes slower than they say it will scrabs- good luck
6:06 am
crosshair
all the rivers on the hill are in serious danger of bursting their banks here. I am in town though, and there is no risk of flood here
6:06 am
evanonut
well I hope the sump pump keeps up for yours and the bun buns sakes
6:06 am
rubyfoo
When I lived in Binghamton, there were floods every year, but not 'til Spring
6:06 am
Lizlin
Happy you're OK, crossy.
6:07 am
rubyfoo
This is crazy-early
6:07 am
Wolvie

Lizlin
And here we are desperate for some rain.
6:07 am
crosshair
I hate sump pumps:( make sure you look and see that the check valve is clear. i had one jam once with of all things, an empty cassette case:(
6:08 am
Scrabbler
I have heard the pump go on occasionally, but when it is every few minutes that is when I get anxious...or if we lose power.
6:09 am

Lizlin
Have a good day, Crossy
6:10 am
Lizlin
Ooooh, new pet?
6:10 am
Wolvie
what did you get car?
6:10 am
car.eeyore
An older gentleman from church passed away and left me his African Grey parrot!
6:11 am
Scrabbler
Wow! Does he talk much?
6:11 am
rubyfoo
They are supposed to be wonderful birds, very smart.
6:11 am
Wolvie
wow- how old is it? sorry to hear about your friend
6:11 am
rubyfoo
And I think they live to be quite old
6:11 am
Lizlin
Wow! that's a big bird.
6:11 am
Lizlin
Sad about your friend though.
6:12 am
rururocks
Was he a pirate?
6:12 am
Scrabbler
Did you know the bird was to be given to you when the man died?
6:12 am
car.eeyore
Right now it is like overhearing someone else conversation...we cannot make out all the words. But he does a great belly laugh followed by a sigh, AND he rings like a telephone!
6:12 am
Scrabbler
What a honor, to be trusted with a beloved pet.
6:12 am
car.eeyore
We don't even know if "Bertie" is a male or female, we think he/she is about 12.
6:13 am
Scrabbler
The boys must love the bird. What do your other pets think?
6:13 am
Lizlin
How does your dog feel about the new family member?
6:13 am
Wolvie
nice- i bet it got the laugh from the owner- so cool
6:13 am
rubyfoo
A friend with parrots used to dog-sit my first chow and one of the parrots would say "Rosie" and when the dog would come running over, the parrot would nip her
6:13 am
Lizlin
Great minds, scarabs.
6:13 am
car.eeyore
Yes, I knew about it, and I am so honored. The woman that was holding his hand when he passed told me that her last words to him were that Bertie would be OK because he/she was going to be living with me. With that he sighed and was gone <sniff?
6:14 am
Scrabbler
Great story, Car.
6:14 am
Wolvie
awww car- that is sweet
6:14 am
Lizlin
That's lovley.
6:14 am
car.eeyore
We are all loving him! Archer is wigged out beyond reason..had to put up the gate so he couldn't leave our room last night. The cats are "intrigued" to say the least.
6:14 am

Wolvie
bye ruby :-)
6:15 am
car.eeyore
He/she is a bit put off with me this morning because I had to cover the cage last night and I guess it is not used to that. Our house is drafty...its the way its going to be.
6:15 am
MollyL
Sorry about your friend Car. I hope another pet doesn't over tax you in the care taking department. You've got a lot on your plate now.
6:15 am
Lizlin
He's / She's quite young then! Has a long life in front of it!
6:16 am
Scrabbler
I must get ready for work. I will drive by some creeks and streams today and they will be wildly flowing with water and ice.

Thank you Molly. This pet is bringing much joy to my mum and to all of us, so I think it will be OK.
6:17 am
car.eeyore
Take some pics Scrabs!
6:17 am
car.eeyore
And PLEASE drive safe
6:17 am
Lizlin
I'll leave all our cockatoos to car - they'll keep the african grey company
6:17 am
car.eeyore
Would not want a chimp...at all! That would go to a wildlife reserve.
6:17 am
car.eeyore
How many Liz?!?!?
6:18 am
rururocks
I got him from michael jackson
6:18 am
MollyL
Car, I thought your house WAS a wildlife reserve.
: D
6:18 am
rururocks
He comes with clothes
6:18 am
Lizlin
Joking - they're wild. We feed them and we have many, many of them each day. Some we know by their personalities - like the one, which taps on our bedroom window in the morning.
6:18 am
car.eeyore
Oh dear ruru...then it may be best to put Bubbles down...he has seen WAAAAAAAY too much.
6:19 am
car.eeyore
OK, Liz...that is awesome!
6:19 am
car.eeyore
Getting there Molly...getting there!
6:19 am
Lizlin
It is awesome! We love them and also the rainbow lorikeets.
6:19 am
car.eeyore
The cleaning lady is coming today...wait until I tell her all the things she cannot use anymore!
6:19 am
Lizlin
In fact we counted about 40 different species that we've seen around the area of our house.
6:20 am
MollyL
What things can't the cleaning lady use?
6:20 am
rururocks
My favorites are the hoikeets
6:21 am
car.eeyore
the clorox cleaner wtih bleach, Febreeze spray, and we cannot use nonstick pans.
6:22 am
bichon
Rainbow lorikeets? Sounds beautiful
6:22 am
zoozzoom
Non-stick pans?
6:22 am
Lizlin
They are beautiful.
6:23 am
car.eeyore
Yeah....teflon in particular...I guess they release nondetectable fumes, especially if they are scratched at all...which can be toxic to the birds.
6:23 am
MollyL
I know Zoom, I was wondering why a cleaning lady would use non-stick pans
6:23 am
car.eeyore
OMG Liz....these just fly wild around your place?!?!?!
6:23 am
car.eeyore
I said WE cannot use the pans.
6:23 am
Lizlin
Not in our house - but around the outside, yes.
6:24 am
Wolvie
that is how i read car, lol
6:24 am
car.eeyore
They are gorgeous!!!!!
6:24 am
Wolvie
small price to pay for getting the birdy i would say- the cats will just adore this thing :D
6:24 am
Lizlin
There are loads at the moment, because lots of trees are in blossom.
6:25 am
Wolvie
how i read it- sigh- not a typist
6:25 am
car.eeyore
I still need the upper left corner E please?
6:25 am
rururocks
I am anticipating cats paws getting bitten
6:25 am
car.eeyore
I can't wait until Zack practices his saxophone! See if the bird picks that up.
6:26 am
Lizlin
You want a clue?
6:26 am
Lizlin
Sax imitating - wow! That'd be something to hear.
6:26 am
car.eeyore
Yes please, Liz
6:26 am
car.eeyore
If he does it, I will make a video.
6:27 am
car.eeyore
We took one of his ringing like the phone.
6:27 am
Lizlin

I imagine you would ruru! LOL!
6:27 am

Trust you, Ru..lol
6:27 am
Lizlin
Why imitate? The real thing's more fun.
6:28 am
rururocks
Just sayin...
6:29 am

That is when the cage gets covered i guess
6:30 am

It is like a paradise - I never thought I'd live in such a place.
6:31 am
Lizlin
Don't forget the kangas and koalas, bichon :)
6:31 am
Lizlin
Thanks wolvie.
6:31 am
bichon
Are you originally from Australia
6:32 am
Lizlin
No, London - only moved here 6 years ago, so it's all still very exotic to me.
6:32 am
Lizlin
Can't say I'm that keen on the nastier things though.
6:32 am
bichon
What a difference
6:32 am
bichon
Like snakes
6:33 am
Lizlin
Yes, them mainly - and spiders and jelly fish etc etc But I haven't seen many of them and very few snakes and they were pythons, so not venomous.
6:33 am
Wolvie
no- those just make you a bit breathless lol
6:33 am
bichon
not venomous, but the big squeeze
6:34 am
bichon
And it must be very hot in the summer
6:34 am
Lizlin
Hubby's an Aussie - he said, how do you fancy taking early retirement and moving to Aus. He didn't have to twist my arm very hard.
6:35 am
bichon
I can't imagine being that far away from my family though
6:35 am
Lizlin
We do have a couple of hot, humid weeks but where we are the daytime summer temp averages 30 C and the winter temp about 20 C
6:35 am
Lizlin
But in summer there are fans and air con and a pool and the ocean!
6:36 am
bichon
Winters sound nice
6:36 am
Lizlin
My brother is in London and I miss him and his family and I miss my friends but I've met some lovely pe 6 here.
6:37 am
Lizlin
Winters are lovely - blue skies and not humid. Temps can get down to single figures at night and the houses aren't built for that, so get cold.
6:37 am
Marc Freeman
Could I get a clue for pe7, please?
6:37 am
bichon
I bet there are great pe 6 there, but my grandchildren?
6:38 am
Trifioso
hello friends.
6:38 am
Lizlin
I don't have kids, so that wasn't an issue for me.

big excitement this weekend! Disney is filming a movie in our town, and wooooo was there a lot going on! Fake snow everywhere, 1950s vehicles, giant production trucks, catering trucks, you name it! It was VERY simple to see how movies cost million to make
6:39 am
Lizlin
pe 7 - as wolvie said - linked to the pe 6 (not in the grid) used to thicken jam.
6:39 am
Marc Freeman
hi bichon and trif was that a clue? i don't know that enzyme Wolvie, sorry
6:39 am
Lizlin
Sounds like fun, trif.
6:39 am
Trifioso
it was at first, but it was sort of annoying - lots of road closings and TRAFFIC
6:40 am
Lizlin
Hm! Hadn't considered that.
6:40 am
Lizlin
Enjoy your days, all. Time for bed :)
6:41 am
Trifioso
gave me a new appreciation for how hard it is too - the crews spend all day setting up, and then they film from 11 pm until 8 am. Ugh!
6:42 am
Wolvie

one of the times we were on a family trip to Ireland we were hanging out in wexford and stumbled across "Saving Private Ryan" - I have pics of the kids and I sitting on tanks, army trucks, etc.
6:48 am

That was filmed in Ireland?
6:48 am
Trifioso
that was pretty funny....had forgotten
6:49 am
evanonut

We had a movie done in our town about 15 years ago. it snarled up traffic for weeks. They hired about 100 locals for walk-in parts and at the end of the day, all that work, all that money added up to 25 seconds in the finished movie.
