6:16 am
sukee
Not too bad actually, and you?
6:17 am
sukee
This grid may be small but it's tough
6:18 am
crosshair
Not too bad. Everyone else is still asleep and I get to babble in peace. I am the only early bird in the house. My beloved and my son are both nighthawks:(
6:18 am
crosshair
Small ones usually have big sharp teeth
6:18 am
sukee
Boo, my cat, decided i should get up.
6:18 am
crosshair
Same here. cat was licking my eyelids and woke me up
6:19 am
sukee
And it's not for food because he hasn't come out here to eat yet.
6:20 am
crosshair
Mine wanted food, but i think they also get lonely
6:23 am
sukee
My mind is not working the way this grid is today :)
6:27 am
crosshair
nor is mine. I do not think it is your mind
6:30 am
sukee
Need more vowels.
6:31 am
Soodle
I'm stuck on the R on the bottom row. Can either of you clue it please? And, hi, Crossy & Sukee. :-)
6:32 am
sukee
Sorry, I don't have that one
6:32 am
sukee
Not for lack of trying either.
6:33 am
MollyL
re5...word that means throw back to an earlier time
6:33 am
mattygroves
Hi Soodle - think old time - like if you had a walkman now it would be re5/10
6:33 am
Soodle
Oh, for goodness sake!! Thanks Molly & Matty.
6:34 am
sukee
Doh, ty both.
6:34 am

6:39 am
sukee
And down to 10 to go
6:56 am
crosshair
And now it is time for Crossy's tidbit of the day!! A chunk of gold the size of a matchbox can be flattened into a wafer thin Sheet the size of a tennis court:)
7:05 am
crosshair
And a bonus tidbit that my American friends will get a charge out of... Because it is said so often, "sorry" is legally not an admission of guilt under the eyes of the law in many provinces. sorry about that:))
7:16 am
Scrabbler
Hi Crossy, Thanks for the info. I got here just in time.
7:18 am
crosshair

7:25 am
Scrabbler

7:26 am
suefrad625
take away all the big plates, use only small utensils, and chew your food at least 10 times. that is the challenge my nutritionist gave us for this month.
7:26 am
crosshair
I fail at portion control, so I just keep adding more exercise:)
7:26 am
suefrad625
it is the little things that make a difference.
7:27 am
MollyL
Sue are you still doing HCG?
7:27 am
crosshair
Hiking, snowshoeing, kayaking, etc
7:27 am
suefrad625
:) lately i am the very opposite
7:27 am
crosshair

7:28 am
crosshair
I always wanted to try those little ice sleds with the single sail and zip across the frozen bay:)
7:28 am
suefrad625
on and off molly. i use it as an appetite control when i know I wont have time to eat. I tried smoothies, but I get hungry too soon. I just bought more vegies so i will let you know.
7:28 am
Scrabbler
We could go sledding with our kayaks and canoes, Crossy.
7:29 am
Scrabbler
Fun, Crossy!
7:29 am
crosshair
snap, scrabby
7:29 am
suefrad625

7:32 am
crosshair
mmm, minus 21 with the wind chill, think i shall hold off a bit on the walkies...
7:34 am
Scrabbler
We are in no rush to get into the woods.
7:35 am
crosshair
Agreed. i am hoping for some afternoon sunshine and it will be perfect
7:37 am
Scrabbler
We are going to the County Forest--not a virgin forest, but most of the trees were planted in the 1920's by the CCC. We will hike for an hour to a cabin where we will rest and make a fire in the wood stove.
7:37 am
crosshair
Sounds perfect
7:38 am
crosshair
bring along a deck of cards and a wine skin of cherry whiskey and it will be perfect;)
7:38 am
Scrabbler
It is one of my favorite places around here. The trails include many wooden bridges including 2 covered bridges.
7:39 am
Scrabbler
We bring "Travel Scrabble."
7:39 am
crosshair
Up north when snowmobiling all day we used to pack cherry whiskey in thos supple wineskins because it was the only thing that would not freeze solid in minus 40 temps
7:40 am
Scrabbler
I don't drink but my sister brought a bottle of wine with her.
7:40 am
car.eeyore
Arrrrrrrgh! Can I have yesterday's grid back to finish?!?!?
7:40 am
Scrabbler
That would be far more fun, Car!
7:40 am
crosshair
I have never owned a "travel scrabble" board. just google it. very interesting
7:41 am
crosshair
This little grid is painful
7:43 am
Scrabbler
It is actually Portfolio Scrabble. It has been in airports and places all over the US and in Canada.
7:43 am
pippingeek
Me too, car. I fell asleep halfway through
7:43 am
crosshair
I miss having a good scrabble opponent my beloved will no longer play the game with me:(
7:43 am
Scrabbler
I had no time to return to the grid last night. I had 265 left.
7:43 am
car.eeyore
at this stage, I really can't believe we don't have archives of grids...even a week's worth.
7:44 am
car.eeyore
My mom, in her day, was unbeatable.
7:44 am
jwr
a really good way to diet is to keep out of the PB
7:44 am
Scrabbler
Crossy, we can play via FB. I usually have a couple dozen games going, with many Babblers.
7:44 am
Scrabbler
Yes, jwr.
7:44 am
crosshair
I always said(and even proposed to jesse) that in addition to the daily grid, there should be a 10x10 weekly grid of 1000-5000 words
7:44 am
Scrabbler
We do have archived grids.
7:44 am
car.eeyore
Please add me Scrabbler!!!!!
7:45 am
Scrabbler
I will, Car.
7:45 am
crosshair
I will set up scrabble on FB now. never even thought of it tbh:)
7:46 am
jwr
That was only half in jest, Scrabs -- when people start talking about what's in there, the juices begin to run.
7:46 am
Alleyn58
Simply can't see the te6 .... Anyone got a hint going please
7:47 am
jwr
whoops - last comment to Scrabbler had to do with PB, not games.
7:47 am
pippingeek
Allen, it ends with the er5
7:47 am
wvteach
great fear - TE 6
7:47 am
car.eeyore

7:47 am
pippingeek
Alleyn, sorry
7:47 am
crosshair
ok. all done please add me when you get a chance scrabby
7:47 am

7:48 am
pippingeek
I hate playing babble on my iPad, it autocorrects the words and peoples names
7:49 am
MollyL
You can turn autocorrect off
7:49 am
jmcnrick
that sounds truly annoying pip
7:49 am
pippingeek
Hi jmc
7:49 am
Alleyn58
Got it - Thx - was going in wrong direction!
7:50 am
crosshair
not going anywhere just yet. I am running scrabble and babble in split screen mode:)
7:50 am
car.eeyore
You multitasking genius!
7:51 am
crosshair

7:55 am
Scrabbler
Crossy and Car--you can play Scrabble on your smartphone too, if you have one.
7:55 am
jmcnrick

7:57 am
crosshair

my apartment is only 60 degrees today. I am not thrilled
7:58 am

poor pippin:(
7:58 am

{{hugs}} pippingeek.....
7:58 am
jmcnrick
that sounds good to me pip. . . i generally keep my house at 55
7:59 am
crosshair
not sure how we got two games going at once though;))
7:59 am
pippingeek
the landlord controls the radiators, and on weekends nobody is in their office
7:59 am
pippingeek
i like it between 65 and 70
8:01 am
Scrabbler
Brr, pippin
8:01 am
Scrabbler

bichon
Brr to everyone
8:02 am
pippingeek
hi bichon
8:04 am
Scrabbler
I usually keep my thermostat set at 65 but last evening the outdoor temp dropped to minus 2 so I increased the indoor temp to 67.
8:05 am
crosshair
I like it about 65 as well. I get almost a claustrophobic feeling if it is too warm and stuff in the house
8:05 am
pippingeek
ouch, that is cold. it's 18 here but that's enough to throw off our heat situation
8:07 am
jmcnrick
Grrrrr. My computer decided it was time to update.
8:08 am
pippingeek
i will say, on a tiny grid like this it is super satisfying to find even one word
8:08 am
crosshair
I always keep auto update disabled. I like to pick and choose between critical updates and crapola
8:08 am
pippingeek
especially when it greys out a tile
8:09 am
Scrabbler
Go Pippin, go.
8:09 am
jmcnrick
I'm looking forward to flying to the beach in Mexico today. So 70 low for me next week. :)

Of course that means that the supremes had to finally grant cert on a case I need to write a brief for so I will be sitting by the pool with my laptop. :( it's a hard life being a world saver
8:13 am
car.eeyore
HAGD all!
8:13 am
pippingeek
well done car!
8:13 am
jmcnrick
Whoo hoo car!
8:13 am

better to work on a laptop on the beach than in your office in freezing weather
8:14 am
lideola
can someone give me stats for the c in the last column?
8:14 am
jmcnrick
Does this cape go with my bathing suit.?
8:14 am

8:20 am
jmcnrick
defrag and ???
8:20 am
pippingeek
i really ought to do that, mine has been sluggish lately
8:21 am
bichon
Every time I do that crossy, I have to log back into all my programs
8:21 am
jmcnrick
i would clean my computer but i am always afraid i will erase some critical file that some programmer gave a cute name. . .
8:21 am
crosshair
lol, it is a play on words on the medical procedure D&C. I just use it as Dusting and cleaning
8:21 am
pippingeek
hey, i made it halfway! now i just have to find an A and an R to get nbt
8:21 am
crosshair
As do I , bichon but it is worth it
8:21 am
crosshair
All the prefetch data usually vanishes with a good cleaning
8:22 am
bichon
OK you convinced me. I haven't done it in months
8:22 am
jmcnrick
which in fact i did about a year ago and now every time i log into my 2013 tax program i have to go into services and start the program from there. . .
8:22 am
crosshair
MONTHS???!!
8:22 am
pippingeek
note to self - don't tell crossy how rarely i do any computer maintenance
8:23 am
jmcnrick
here i will distract him. . . I haven't done it since i screwed up that file last tax season. . . .
8:23 am
crosshair
on a weekly cleaning schedule, i can usually removed around 400 meg to ! gig of useless crap and temp files etc and registry fragments
8:23 am
bichon
Okay, done
8:24 am
pippingeek
hooray bichon!
8:24 am
jmcnrick

8:24 am
Scrabbler
Yay, Bichon.
8:24 am
jmcnrick

8:24 am
pippingeek

10:07 am
doseffing
... had a pair of them living in the bushes at the bottom of the back yard ... huge things ... looked like they could take on a small car
10:08 am
jmcnrick
my sister used have a problem with getting garbage from one side of her house and then marching across the tin roof. . . clank, clank, clank. . . to wash it in the dog water bowl on the other side of the house. . .
10:08 am
jmcnrick
they may be cute to some but they are dangerous animals when cornered. . .
10:08 am
doseffing
... I wouldn't take one on
10:09 am
jmcnrick
my sister finally moved the dog water bowl next to the garbage so she could get some sleep. . . hahah
10:09 am
rbud
so funny to watch them washing it, though, little hands going just like us, scrubbing away
10:10 am
jmcnrick
yes . . . it is cute. . . from a distance :)
10:11 am
rbud
we had a mom and several little ones this last year, but they disappeared before winter, not sure what became of them. maybe the local coyotes.
10:12 am
rbud
I often fear for the cats I feed, the ones who won't set foot inside. lots of coyote caterwauling off in the woods.
10:13 am
doseffing
... cats will climb a tree ... not coyotes
10:13 am
rbud
plus we have foxes, too.
10:14 am
jmcnrick
coyotes have to eat. . .
10:15 am

There's always an excuse when you're on a diet

I hate it when little grids show up on weekends and we get monster grids on a busy workday.. ugh

12:21 pm
rururocks
ah.. have a safe trip JM.. be careful
12:21 pm
jmcnrick
there hasn't been much happening on the beaches in the south (where we are going) and the worst is not focused on tourists at any rate. . .
12:21 pm
rururocks
tell that to all the dead tourists
12:25 pm
jmcnrick
double checked the dead mexican tourists and generally it was accidents and only about one a month last year. . . we probably have more than that in the US each year. . .
12:26 pm
jmcnrick
but thank you for the sentiment. . . i am a cautious traveler . . .

A guy riding his bike to south America was just killed and decapitated in a "safe" village
12:27 pm
rururocks
just this week
12:27 pm
rururocks
near a "safe resort" area
12:28 pm
rururocks
glad you're cautious
12:30 pm
jmcnrick
so they found him. . . he was missing for quite a while. . . riding a motorcycle alone cross country is potentially dangerous anywhere. . .
12:31 pm
jmcnrick

Working...I am so out of touch with Babble people...last I read here JMC got laid off...

rururocks
probably taxes? Doesn't she do taxes for people and consult?
1:20 pm
MollyL
Not sure. People often say they will be "working" to justify a lush vacation. I' am always happier to hear that someone is getting away to somewhere nice just to relax and have fun.
1:21 pm
rururocks
when you work for yourself.. it's really hard to "take" vacations and not work.. I kind of get that
1:23 pm
MollyL
Still, sad to think of someone getting the chance for a lavish vacation and having to work through it. Kind of defeats the purpose of a vacation.

When I traveled for work, I would try to incorporate weekends for sightseeing etc. It worked out really well, especially in South Africa

And the companies would usually assign someone to show me around

Good for you, Ruby. You have lived a very blessed life.
