Yes, our snowstorm was supposed to start at 0700 but it hasn't started yet. Soon though.
8:44 am
ivesy3
hasnt started here yet either scrab... i think its teasing us..
8:45 am
welki
nope, haven't really gotten it together this year - the lake we usually fish is pretty much dead (due to a blue green algae) and it's a pain to scout out another (and if we did, it would be a much longer drive)
8:46 am
Riverdance
I need to go do some chores.....have a great day everyone and GO PATS!

Trifioso
tertiare woke me in the middle of the night, fevered, hyperventilating and hysterical. Said she was having a panic attack because something was "really really wrong" and wanted me to drive her to the ER immediately. I didn't. It took about 20 minutes, but I calmed her down, gave her some nyquil to basically just knock her out, and 5 minutes later she was out cold. She does have a fever, but that's all. She does have a new friend she has made that is a huge drama queen, and went to the ER last week for a panic attack. Is the power of suggestion so powerful amongst teenage girls, or did I miss something? I have checked on her several times this morning - she continues to sleep peacefully, and it not remotely as feverish as in the middle of the night. What the hell?
8:54 am
Scrabbler
Good work, Bubba.
8:56 am
Scrabbler
Trif, she may have felt warm because of being panicky and revved up. Yes, teenage girls are very emotional and dramatic, and susceptible to "hysteria."
8:56 am
MollyL
Trif...power of suggestion...teenage girls...town close to you...Salem...
8:56 am
Scrabbler
Google "mass hysteria."
8:57 am
Trifioso
Thank you. I figured she scared herself
8:57 am
Trifioso
I'm going to go check on her again....
8:57 am
Scrabbler
There was a large "outbreak" in a town near here (Batavia) a few years ago. Finally 2 neurologists determined that there was no infection or poisoning, it was mass hysteria.
8:58 am
MollyL
I would guess when it's teenage girls, the mass influx of hormones has something to do with it
9:01 am
Scrabbler
Adolescents are emotional creatures, but girls are overt with their drama and hysteria.
9:02 am
Aloyisius
ty Annie for the la7.. have been off hunting it to no avail
9:03 am
Scrabbler
Well, we are all emotional creatures, but teens are like toddlers all over again: egocentric, emotionally labile, impulsive.
9:08 am
MollyL
Good description. They are like overgrown toddlers.
9:09 am
Scrabbler
"Toddlers on wheels" when they start driving. Scary!
9:17 am

9:22 am
kje
are you hosting a SB party, judi?
9:22 am
Scrabbler
Of course, kje, you are a party animal.
9:23 am
Judi
No, KJE. I think we're going to go to a local micro-brewery for a pig roast. Oh, and some football, of course.
9:23 am
kje
well, in small spurts... we were out til 1230 and I'm was wiped out! can't keep up with those youngsters ; )
9:23 am

Are you ready for some football?

Yep! Hope it's a good game and not a blow out.
9:25 am

You could change the contrast on your TV until everyone looks orange and brown, Aloy.

9:27 am

The snow is just starting. We should have up to 14 inches by tomorrow afternoon. Yay!
9:27 am
MollyL
May all the snow fall only where it is wanted. Amen.
9:28 am

it is snowing here too, scrab, but I think they only expect 6 inches
9:28 am
Aloyisius
ty Molly, looking
9:28 am
hego
oh, that Scrabs!
9:28 am
Judi
Why does someone always have to say the "S" word?
9:29 am
hego
Hard to avoid lately Judi
9:29 am
Scrabbler
Lake Erie iced over a few weeks ago so it isn't a snow-making machine anymore.
9:29 am
MollyL
Judi, believe it or not, there are people who actually like being freezing cold and driving in messy, dangerous conditions.
9:29 am
Aloyisius
yay, got it.. fw thanks to Molly
9:30 am
hego
YAY!!! Aloy!!
9:30 am
Judi
Well, it's a good thing that global warming doesn't freeze over all the great lakes. *insert eye roll here*
9:31 am
Judi
Yes. I have heard of these snow lovers.
9:31 am
Aloyisius
well, I actually have to do some work (eek) today, so off I go.. happy SB watching to all who enjoy, may your favorite team win.. I'm rooting for the Browns of course.. ciao
9:31 am
Scrabbler
*waving hand* Me, me, I love winter. I will go to the park after lunch and cross-country ski in the woods.
9:32 am
Scrabbler
Bye, Aloy.
9:32 am
Judi
*hibernates in warm cave with hot coffee*
9:32 am
hego
Move over Judi.
9:32 am
Scrabbler
Judi, I will snowshoe to your cave to give you beverages and food.
9:33 am
Judi
Bless you, Scrabbs. You obviously have ye4 blood.
9:35 am
Scrabbler
I am an outdoorswoman. Once, while needing a break from XC-skiing, I dug a hole into the snow in the woods and started a fire. My friend and I had lunch next to the fire.
9:35 am
hego
Didn't the roof melt?
9:35 am
Judi
Have you ever read "Woodswoman" by Anne LaBastille, Scrabbs?
9:36 am
Scrabbler
Yes, so inspiring!
9:36 am
Judi
One of my all time fave books. Now that was a tough chick!
9:37 am
hego
makes note of book
9:37 am
Scrabbler
She is my ultimate inspiration and I think of her so often.
9:37 am
hego
Is it a true story?
9:37 am
Judi
So, have you built your own cabin in the woods and adopted a wild fox yet?
9:38 am
Judi
Yes, Hego. It is a wonderful story.
9:38 am
hego
No no the rabbits will not like that!
9:38 am
Scrabbler
Yes, she lived alone in a cabin next to a lake in the Adirondack Mtns. I would love to do that, if I felt safe.
9:38 am
Judi
Hmm. Good point.
9:39 am
Scrabbler
Maybe a fox and the rabbits could be buddies.
9:39 am
hego
But Scrabs, you have the best of both worlds!
9:42 am
Scrabbler
I live in the woods and next to a huge park with trails for skiing, hiking, and biking. I wish there was a lake here so I drive somewhere to kayak.
9:44 am
hego
Off to buy food. Later!
9:45 am
Judi
Sounds similar to where we live. There is a big pond down the road, but it is on private property. Probably not big enough to kayak on. But, you could snowshoe on it and fall through the ice!
9:47 am
Norma
Can anyone clue the an7 please
9:47 am

Sorry meant la 7 please

Ha, I did fall through the ice recently when snowshoeing over a shallow creek.
9:50 am
Judi
Yes. I remember. Best not to make a habit of that.
9:51 am
Scrabbler
My sister was convulsing with laughter. Fortunately we were 20 minutes away from the lodge and just my foot was wet.
9:51 am
MollyL
So glad my grocery shopping is done. I don't have to be out there with the last minute Superbowl yahoos.
9:52 am

The supermarkets will be insane for the next several hours. And pizzerias will have their busiest day of the year.

10:01 am

Who thinks of the poor vegetables? They too must sacrifice their lives so that we may eat.
10:17 am
rururocks
Lettuce take a moment of silence
10:17 am
Judi
True, Molly. Often yanked up by their very roots. Wrenched from the ground and thrown into a pot to boil. Can no one hear the screams of the carrots?
10:17 am
Judi
Peas on Earth. Good will toward veggies.
10:18 am
rururocks
Often skinned and peeled too judi
10:18 am

Are the carrots still screaming Clarice?

10:50 am

laundry every day? although i like doing laundry
10:50 am
MollyL
I have no interest in letting laundry pile up until there are loads and loads of it to do.
10:51 am
pippingeek
it's interesting stuff, especially in glaucoma which is what our practice is, but i wish the practice were run a bit better
10:51 am

10:52 am
aceymcc
it's always something different. I do general ophthalmology so it's a new story everyday. are you certified?
10:52 am
pippingeek
if i had laundry in the house i would do it way more frequently. i may buy a small washer/dryer when i move to chicago to make life easier and to keep me from having to venture out into the tundra just for that
10:52 am
72 Temple Owl
having seen which way the wind is blowing, it is time to get ready to go. happy babbling to those who are.
10:53 am
72 Temple Owl

10:53 am
pippingeek
not certified, just trained on the job- doing it to get clinical hours to get into PA school. now I'm just waiting to hear from places!

Ugh Pip. Using the laundromat is rugged. I hope you get your small washer and dryer.
10:54 am

But of course, since it's for a Patriots Superbowl, I deflated it first.
12:25 pm
rururocks
does it give one deflatulence ?
12:26 pm
MollyL
I doubt it, considering certain gasbags.
12:34 pm
rururocks
what a black mark on the NFL with all that mess.. cheaters
12:35 pm
MollyL
Yeah, and if it was my team, I wouldn't be proud of them
12:45 pm
rururocks
I do hope they get penalized if they did do it purposely
12:46 pm
MollyL
It won't matter though. They cheated their way to the Superbowl.
12:46 pm
MollyL
And really? 11 balls? How was that not purposely?
12:47 pm
rururocks
a batch of leakers? :D

One game does not make a super bowl contender...so how did the Pats win all the other games and years of continued success. To be fair in the conversaton, I had to put a plug in for the Pats. :)
1:06 pm
rururocks
unfortunately RKB.. it seems they've been doing it all year.. with a very low fumble percentage.. that is unheard of in the league
1:06 pm
cybernan
should we talk about the weather? --- snowy day here
1:06 pm
MollyL
♥Just because I'm presumin'♥that I could be a human♥if I only had a heart♥

1:07 pm

Nan, prefix for new, number after 9 and sometime vowel
1:07 pm
rururocks
no problem.. it will be a debate for a long time I think RKB
1:07 pm
MollyL
Most of the Patriots fans I know are all...stick their fingers in their ears and sing LA LA LA...about the whole thing. Denial is bliss.
1:07 pm

1:08 pm

it kind of ruins the Superbowl for me to be honest.
1:08 pm
cybernan

1:08 pm
MollyL
Oh dear, we started an adult conversation. Shame on us.
1:08 pm

I can't belive they did this all year and no one noticed.
1:09 pm

Rhe refs handle the balls more than anyone.

If you read the sports news coverage about this subject, it's all explained.
1:09 pm
hego
I agree Nan.
1:10 pm
MLFAN17
cyber its a "big deal" is the only reason its on tv everywhere
1:10 pm
hego
Fan, la 20 is a legal thing
1:10 pm
cybernan
la 5/20 --- pt of feiger's discipline
1:10 pm
rururocks
they should have a professional ball handler like Monica Lewinski check them before the game
1:10 pm
MollyL
There are so many things for people who don't care for football to do on Superbowl Sunday.
1:11 pm
hego
I agree Ruru!!
1:11 pm
hego
Molly where I live the restaurants are even closed.
1:11 pm
cybernan
the curling is on a the moment, but that will be over by noon and then everything is prefootball, football, and rehashed football
1:12 pm
MollyL
In Canada? I thought y'all didn't recognize football as a sport.
1:12 pm
tabbycat
Where do you live Hego? I'll be watching a Netflix movie and reading.

I usually watch PBS
1:13 pm
MollyL
There you go Tabby. There are books, movies, plenty of cable options. Or, maybe just spending some time with loved ones.
1:14 pm
tabbycat
Can't imagine the restaurants closing Hego. But when we lived in Miami and the Dolphins were in the Superbowl the streets were like a ghost town when the game was on.
1:14 pm
cybernan
it's a game of sorts -- but I wouldn't call it a sport! About as interesting as watching someone shoot objects down in a computer game
1:14 pm
tabbycat
Well, Molly, hubby will be watching the game, so other options for me.
1:14 pm
hego
I'm more a baseball person.
1:15 pm
MLFAN17
cyber feiger's what>?
1:15 pm
cybernan
yes that is more interesting, hego
1:15 pm
tabbycat
About the only sport I watch on TV is college basketball, both mens and womens. Once they turn pro, I lose interest.
1:16 pm
hego
fan, think legal
1:16 pm
cybernan
I guess you don't watch Sunday Morning, mlf
1:16 pm
MLFAN17
cyber sunday morning what?
1:16 pm
MollyL
I'm so-so about baseball. But I don't gripe about The World Series because I understand why it's important to baseball lovers.
1:17 pm
cybernan
It's a news magazine, mlf
1:18 pm
MLFAN17
cyber oh ok
1:18 pm

I watched high school and college football when my kids were in HS and college, but once they graduated I lost interest in those too.
1:20 pm

i never did a 4 yr college and i dont have kids
1:20 pm
cybernan
ok -- had enough of football --- back at the flip -- hagd everyone and enjoy the game, fans.
1:21 pm
MollyL
I learned from my son that there are two kinds of "football fans". Those who are attached to a particular team (or teams) and those who really love the sport.
1:21 pm
MollyL
And yes, it's a sport. One of the most popular.
1:23 pm
hego
Which worries me.
1:24 pm
MollyL
It worries you that football is a popular sport?
1:25 pm
hego
The Roman games started out as a "sport".
1:27 pm
MollyL
Not sure I get your point. But I'll just leave all this alone now.
1:34 pm
rururocks
like the cross dragging races?
1:35 pm

I was thinking of gladiators, but whatever. :)
1:36 pm
rururocks
I don't think they'd trust football players with swords
1:36 pm
hego
That will be next.
1:36 pm
hego
folks will love it!
1:36 pm
rururocks
they'd have a rule to kill the losing coach
1:37 pm
hego
That will be the biggest feature!
1:37 pm
hego
Crowds will go wild!

Good Afternoon, Everyone. How are you all today? Ready for the Superbowl?
3:52 pm
jesdraggon
heh. in that I've been abandoned for it, sure, Nef :D
3:54 pm
Nef
LOL!, jes. This is the first time in years we won't have anyone else here for it; but that's because we've both been sick with Norovirus. (Great way to keep others at bay; lousy experience otherwise)
3:55 pm
jesdraggon
heh. All I've got is an ear infection, which is not contagious so doesn't keep folk off.
3:56 pm
jesdraggon
but Bruce went to his folks' place to watch the game, and kid went to town to visit his cousin, so I've got the place to myself and am watching the final season of Buffy.
3:56 pm
Nef
OUCH! I hate ear infections; I think they're miserable
3:57 pm
Nef
It sounds like you're set for some good girl "alone" time; that's nice
3:58 pm
Nef
Hi une; how are you today?
4:04 pm
Nef
I've found lots of words using the high point tile so far (but just started a bit ago); is there tons of them today?
4:04 pm
Uneaixoise
tired -- was up at 4:00am
4:05 pm
Nef
:-( Not sick (I hope)
4:05 pm
Uneaixoise

4:05 pm

4:05 pm

Thanks for the info, Une.
4:06 pm

Ahh! You got up for something fun then
4:07 pm
Nef
Was it good to watch?
4:08 pm
Uneaixoise
great match!
4:09 pm

Great!! Then it was worth losing sleep over! :-D
4:10 pm
Uneaixoise
are you babbling in an igloo? weather looks VERY scary!
4:11 pm
Nef
Nope, we have sunshine and blue skies and the temp is about 20 (F) here; kind of a nice day really.
4:12 pm
Nef
(I guess the rest of the country is suffering though
4:13 pm
Uneaixoise
oh ok . . . today's the third day of a rescue transport that I helped with yesterday-- no probs in TN or KY but the drivers right now are heading to Wisconsin and the pics they're posting are CRAZY
4:13 pm
Uneaixoise
can't imagine driving in those conditions
4:13 pm
Uneaixoise
i guess if you live there and are used to it . . .
4:15 pm
jesdraggon
grr. I had no idea you could change up the hy critter's spelling like that.
4:15 pm
Uneaixoise
was news to me too jes :-)
4:15 pm
Nef
If you can see the highway and it isn't closed (and you have a full tank, a winter emergency kit, charged cell phone, etc.) and take your time; it isn't bad. But it does require patience and courage sometimes.
4:16 pm
Uneaixoise
in one of the pics, it looks pretty much like whiteout conditions . . . yikes!
4:18 pm
Nef
I'll admit it: I don't like white outs. I would get off the road if I was in one these days (but when I was younger, I'd drive if necessary
4:18 pm
jesdraggon
la7 clue please?
4:18 pm

4:26 pm
lynxxx
TY for that one. Maybe that word is more British - we use it a lot down here
4:29 pm
Nef
Really, lynxxx? I've never heard it before (but that's English language for you I guess)
4:30 pm
Babs1
how is it used relative to other ways of talking about roads?
4:33 pm
Babs1
here's a puzzle with an iphone i'm trying to solve in case someone can help. I held down button to move an app to another place and it disappeared...if I do a search for it, it will activate, but it's not showing as an icon anywhere.
4:33 pm
jesdraggon
2 left, both to7s
4:35 pm
lynxxx
Lanes or laneways are very common here - really back alleys I guess you would call them. Laneways are 'grand' lanes really, the ones in the city are pedestrian thoroughfares - usually with small shops on either side - VERY popular for restaurant and coffee shops
4:38 pm
jesdraggon
oh man! commence the fishslapping.
4:39 pm

Kind of stupid; it's spelled with 5 or 6 letters
5:09 pm
penquis
yes, got that....ever seen the double vowel one...
5:14 pm
Nef
I'll be distractedly playing now; trying to figure out some of these commercials (WHY do they have to hit a guy in the groin for a pizza commercial?)
5:14 pm
penquis
too much violence in commercials nowadays....and speeding....
5:15 pm
Nef
I mean, that just made no sense!
5:15 pm

5:17 pm
Nef
(Buggie, your icon cat sure has big paws)
5:17 pm
penquis
agreed...
5:18 pm
Buggie
He's a big cat, with big claws, but he's also a big baby
5:19 pm
Nef
Does he have 6 toes?
5:21 pm
Buggie
no, just the normal 5, but he has a single pink pud on both front and back paws on one side
5:21 pm
Buggie
it's so cute
5:21 pm
Nef
Really? Never heard of that before
5:22 pm
Buggie
yeah, all the rest are black it's weird but cute
5:23 pm
penquis

5:23 pm
MollyL
la7...where you bowl + Anchors A...
5:24 pm
Nef
a combo word for a road (used most in Australia I guess)
5:24 pm
Buggie
Salem (although when I got him from the pet shelter he was 3 and called moustique, or mosquito in English, which is a horrible name...)
5:24 pm
penquis
ty molly...
5:24 pm
penquis
and ty nef...
5:25 pm
Nef
that was a strange name for a cat; your name is better
5:25 pm
MollyL
No definition for la7...another made up word
5:26 pm
Buggie
though he probably thinks his name is Naughty right now, that's his current nickname...
5:26 pm
Nef
lynxxx sais they use it often there; it's kind of a fancy alley for upscale shops I believe?
5:27 pm
MollyL
They make up a lot of words in Australia...arvo...
5:31 pm
Nef
So do we, Molly; I think that that's what we all do with language
5:31 pm
Nef
(we make it "ours")
5:37 pm
Nef
Something is going wrong with my computer, I need to shut down & repair my backup disk it says. BBL

5:42 pm

ne7 = baby/new + after nine + sometimes vowel
5:42 pm

5:42 pm
Pinikula
afternoon all
5:42 pm
penquis
ty pin, molly....
5:43 pm
MollyL
I'm confused. People keep saying that prefix means baby. It is only in reference to babies when used with "natal" to mean "new babies".
5:44 pm
penquis
i am done... :oD
5:44 pm
Pinikula
(that's how I always think of it, Molly...sorry)
5:44 pm
Pinikula

No need to be sorry. I just don't understand the baby reference.
5:47 pm
rururocks
So neonazi is a baby nazi?
5:49 pm
rururocks
Hiya pini
5:50 pm
MollyL
Neolith = baby rock
5:50 pm
Pinikula
Keanu Reeves' character in the Matrix = Neo :)
5:51 pm
MollyL
And the neonatal unit is the baby baby unit
5:52 pm
rururocks
I thought the baby baby unit was justin bieber
5:53 pm
MollyL
I thought it was...oh...I better not...
5:53 pm
Pinikula
no, he's justin annoying!
5:55 pm

5:56 pm
Lizlin
Hope you're enjoying your weekend
5:57 pm
MollyL
I thought you threw a penalty. I was looking for a yellow flag. Oh there I go, talking about football again.
: P
5:58 pm
Lizlin
Hi Molly - how come you've been giving such "easy" clues recently?
6:02 pm
MollyL
Actually, I don't give easy clues. But after 4 or 5 easy clues have been given and someone is still not getting it, seems like it's time to go for the obvious.
6:03 pm
Lizlin
Ah! OK. Generally see that sort of thing when I check my iPad early in the morning - not really awake then!
6:03 pm
Lizlin
However, I'd take a clue for the ex 5/20 pls.
6:03 pm
rururocks
I am clueless and easy
6:04 pm
Lizlin
And your point is ..... ;)
6:04 pm
Pinikula
ex = former spouse + tanger*** (orange)
6:04 pm
MollyL
I don't get it Ru! There is no S in the grid!!!!
6:04 pm
rururocks
Ex5 a drug to remove a spouse
6:04 pm
Lizlin
Thanks, pini
6:05 pm
Lizlin
Kept trying that with a t - even though I know there's a c in that word!
6:05 pm
rururocks
Better than peta clues
6:06 pm
MollyL
No score yet. Someone must have checked the game balls.
6:07 pm
Lizlin
Who's playing what?
6:08 pm
Pinikula
superbowl's on today
6:09 pm
Lizlin
OK thanks. And do you have allegiance to either of the teams playing? Or does everyone just choose a team to support if their team isn't playing?
6:10 pm
Lizlin
Final word and final clue please - ya 5/24?
6:10 pm
Pinikula
I don't...but I have relatives rooting for Seattle Seahawks; otherwise, it's just a free-for-all! :)
6:10 pm
MollyL
I am hoping for sudden death for days until each team drops in their tracks.
6:10 pm
Lizlin
Found it - fireworks.
6:10 pm
Pinikula
that'd work for me, too, Molly!
6:11 pm
Lizlin
Have a good evening all of you and if you're watching the match, enjoy :)
6:11 pm
Lizlin
And may your team win!!!!!
6:27 pm

I've got wings in the oven...
6:36 pm

6:39 pm
72 Temple Owl
unless we are miing cocktails including godiva
6:40 pm
BzznBea
Now taht was a funny commercial!
6:40 pm
72 Temple Owl
i thought it was, but the ening was a bit lame
6:45 pm
72 Temple Owl
i have been underwhelmed by the ads so far.
6:47 pm
MollyL
The Budweiser ads are always the best
6:48 pm
BzznBea
Have there been any of those, Molly? I've been at the sewing machine until a bit ago...
6:49 pm
MollyL
I watch all the ads on line before the game
6:49 pm
MollyL
Budweiser...puppy...Clydesdales...big winner
6:50 pm
72 Temple Owl
i saw a link on msn but it seemed as if not all of the ads are there, or they are teaser ads?
6:55 pm
72 Temple Owl
i did not see the conroversial godaddy ad but it sounded funny to me. it certainly tied in nicely with their business.
6:57 pm
