Good morning, everybody! I have been lax in my tidbits this week, so to make it up to all my rabid fans I am going to spend the next few days posting some of my favorite Zen Pencil Items. If you have never heard or seen Zen pencils, I highly recommend it! I will start you off with one http://tinyurl.com/oyafnkd but if you go here http://zenpencils.com/ and click on the drop-down menu on the top right-hand side of the page, you will have 175 inspiration Zen pencil comics to choose from. Enjoy!

5:40 am

sukee

Good morning.

5:42 am

sukee

Good comic there.

5:47 am

crosshair

Yes, there are lots of great ones in the archives on the site as well.

5:51 am

sukee

Can't believe we are at May 24 weekend already. It is supposed to warm up again.

5:52 am

sukee

I have wine in for the long weekend :)

5:52 am

crosshair

That's right, I forgot. This Monday is an off day:)

5:53 am

crosshair

Wine is a total waste on me. i used to drink wine while waiting for the real booze to show up:)

5:53 am

sukee

I was thinking it would be next week.

5:54 am

sukee

I haven't had a drink for a while, not even at Christmas :) That gum is still bothering me a bit, the alcohol should help a bit. I am thinking it's not my tooth but that I probably got a raspberry seed under my gum.

5:54 am

crosshair

The calenders have shifted over the years, so May 2-4 is no longer actually on May 24th itself:)

5:55 am

sukee

I guess it's now the 3rd Monday in the month regardless.

5:55 am

sukee

How should we celebrate Queen Victoria? :D

5:56 am

crosshair

I also have not drank anything in at least 8 months:(

5:57 am

sukee

Al wine does now is make me sleepy and turn my legs to rubber :) But I do like the taste.

5:57 am

crosshair

She was a foul, vain woman while in power, so the best way to celebrate is to have a drink, plant our gardens and raise a glass to the old battle-axe.

5:58 am

sukee

lol

5:59 am

crosshair

In coin collection, especiall in the early large canadian peiines from 1858 to 1901, Victoria's image on the coin had at least three different version because she lost her mind when the early attempts portrayed her double or triple chins:)

6:00 am

crosshair

Counting her chins is a way to identify coin run varieties;)

6:02 am

sukee

Hearing about BB King, hearing he died made me tear up this morning.

6:02 am

crosshair

I used to collect coins for years. Interestingly enough the 1858 and 1859 coins were shipped over from England's and the Heaton Mint, since we still did not have our own mint. Those two years had to last us for the next 17 years before we stamped our own:) History is a funny thing:)

6:03 am

crosshair

Before 1858, we had upper and lower canada tokens oand local trade tokens instead. Either that or barter in raw gold or silver.

6:04 am

sukee

Very interesting.

6:04 am

crosshair

it was. i own one or two tokens, but have since sold them

6:05 am

crosshair

And of course any world-wide gold coinage was bartered by weight, regardless of country origin.

6:06 am

crosshair

lol. I will stop boring the chog:)

6:10 am

sukee

Sorry, I was running around getting ready.

6:11 am

sukee

Only have time to grab a banana for breakfast.

6:13 am

crosshair

mmm, now I want to make banana bread;)

6:15 am

crosshair

I was not dissing you not responding, Sukee, just sometimes I tend to drift off on random topics and have to catch myself:)

6:15 am

sukee

I know.

6:17 am

sukee

WEll, I have to go now, take care

BB King music playing all day in the PB bar. Special of the day is The BB King Cocktail. Alas, The Thrill Is Gone.

7:35 am

car.eeyore

Nice.

7:53 am

bichon

ya 4/10 is the southern way of speaking to a group

7:55 am

MollyL

Hmm, and all this time I thought it was a boat.
: D

7:55 am

bichon

It's a homophone

8:01 am

rururocks

Wonders if there is a heterophone

8:01 am

bichon

You're up early ru

8:02 am

MollyL

I was just thinking that there are people who probably consider the word homophone politically incorrect.

8:03 am

bichon

yes, those who are illiterate

8:05 am

rururocks

Mostly centered around berkeley and oakland

8:10 am

MollyL

They wear Birkenstocks.

8:21 am

periwinkle

hi all.

8:21 am

periwinkle

I never wore Birkenstocks but I did have a pair of navy blue clogs back in the day. I loved them.

8:24 am

Trifioso

hello friends

8:25 am

Trifioso

Molly, that is completely, and sadly, true - a man in Utah was fired - FIRED - from his job for teaching about homophones. They accused him of "promoting the gay agenda"

8:26 am

suefrad625

ARGGGGG

8:26 am

Trifioso

Newsweek reported on it in July of 2014

8:26 am

suefrad625

what happened to the freedom to teach?

8:27 am

suefrad625

I am subbing right now and when a student asks me to call him/her buy their transgender name, I DO.

8:29 am

Trifioso

absolutely. We have our first TG student this year, who has now earned the legal right to use the boys bathroom, locker room, etc. It's new ground, to be sure, but he is finding acceptance

8:31 am

suefrad625

I love Jesus and he loves me! He loves my gay sons and they love Him! What the heck is the problem????

8:31 am

MimiCat

Don't know if anyone remembers a show Marlo Thomas did MANY years ago but it was called "Free to Be You and Me." Guess we still haven't learned.

8:32 am

MollyL

Sadly, there are a lot of "Christians" who would tell you that Jesus doesn't love your gay son.

8:33 am

suefrad625

Then they are not reading the words, just making up from hate or condemnation of the old testaments.

8:33 am

Trifioso

I'm not even speaking of the gay issue - this guy was talking about HOMOPHONES - and got fired. Have people lost their minds completely?

8:34 am

suefrad625

Are you serious? like the words that sound the same but have two different meanings??? that word?

8:34 am

MollyL

Yes Trif, they have.

8:34 am

Trifioso

that's the one, sue.

8:34 am

suefrad625

They better get nailed to a cross for that!!!

8:35 am

suefrad625

sick bastards

8:35 am

MimiCat

It's too bad people aren't secure enough within themselves to allow others to lead the lives they want to lead. Who am I to judge someone else?

8:35 am

MollyL

I know of an elementary school who had to take down a bulletin board the kids did about the westward movement in American history because it said "Westward Ho!!"

8:35 am

Trifioso

amen mimi

8:36 am

Trifioso

hahahahaha molly!

8:36 am

MollyL

Nailed to a cross???

8:36 am

MimiCat

:)) And there sure were a lot of those in the old west, right? I probably would have been one!

8:38 am

suefrad625

oh my God...what are you going to do about Santa Claus?????? Kill Him he says HO HO HO to everyone

8:38 am

MimiCat

And comes into your house while you are sleeping...whoa.

8:39 am

suefrad625

lol

8:39 am

Trifioso

sue, a friend of mine moved to a remote area of Indonesia for a while, for her husband's job. Though almost no one in the area was Christian, for some reason the stores and towns got all decked out for
"Christmas" but they really didn't get it - Santa on a cross was EVERYWHERE

8:39 am

suefrad625

are you naughty or nice

8:39 am

Trifioso

and several stores had displays featuring Jesus driving the sleigh. Her photos are HILARIOUS

8:39 am

MimiCat

Some people just need to get real lives of their own and maybe they won't have time to criticize others.

8:40 am

suefrad625

dont worry trif, i am sure we will do that here since the kids here know about as much about Christmas as they do

8:40 am

MimiCat

Funny, Trif. What a HOot!

8:41 am

Trifioso

This year for prom the High School set up a red carpet area that led to the buses driving the kids to the event. Due to time constraints, the last group of kids didn't get to walk the carpet. Big deal. Some mothers were CRYING, complaining to the principal, besides themselves. I couldn't EVEN

8:41 am

MollyL

Santa on a cross is kind of dark

8:42 am

MollyL

I think proms have gotten so over the top.

8:42 am

Trifioso

I want one more than I can fully articulate, molly

8:42 am

suefrad625

I like the Jesus driving the sleigh, i think i will get one of those. At least it is the real meaning of Christmas.

8:43 am

MimiCat

I like that idea, too, sue.

8:43 am

suefrad625

well you know it could not have possibly been the kids fault for getting there late. It is never the kids fault. Heavens for bits

8:44 am

Trifioso

it was the first year they tried it, next year they will do a better job timing the walking. No harm, no foul. For goodness sake, kids DIE every day.....get some perspective moms!

8:45 am

MimiCat

Is it just me or is this a tough little grid?

8:45 am

MollyL

Ah yes, Jesus driving a sleigh. THAT is the true meaning of Christmas.

8:45 am

suefrad625

I am subbing and all of the directions for the teachers are about individual work....let me ask you all, how many of you have EVER worked at a job that you are supposed to rely on just your own knowledge? How can we still be teaching this way instead of cooperative learning?

8:46 am

Trifioso

I cant' budge the a in the top row - count please?

8:46 am

suefrad625

i got an44 girls na4

8:47 am

Trifioso

thanks sue. And I have had similar frustrations with sub plans - they are either written down to the minute, or not written at all, and either way the teacher chews your butt. It's a no win

8:49 am

MimiCat

Gotta get to work. Expecting lots of rain here in Phoenix today---YAY!! Have a "good Friday" everyone!

8:50 am

Trifioso

bye mimi -= remember to take your umbrella!

8:51 am

MimiCat

I work at home so I can just enjoy it!

2nd column g?

8:54 am

MLFAN17

hello all

8:54 am

MLFAN17

nm

8:54 am

suefrad625

my kids lie to the teacher and tell them i was a miserable bitch, so the teacher brings me back. I only sub HS now. I make a hall pass that they take at will, one at a time, and dont ask. I tell them if they cant find the way back, to go to the nurse because they have something wrong with them and that is not my job. I tell them to eat and drink because physically they can NOT learn is the state of dehydration or hunger, but I am not their mother so they better clean up after themselves. I always start my class by telling them i have one rule in my life "that i respect you. What you do with it, how you honor it, is up to you each. There are consequences to your actions. But know that i am just a sub so i dont care what happens to you tomorrow. That is between your parents and the school if you get in trouble...i just sub another class tomorrow. Today i will be the last to leave in a fire and the first to the door if there is danger, but make no mistake, i will not disrespect you as i ask you to leave, and you WILL leave." In 4 years of subbing my way, i have never had an issue. They deserve respect before they respect me.

8:54 am

MLFAN17

how about the I on he 2nd column instead?

8:56 am

suefrad625

dont have 2nd column a yet

8:57 am

10:22 am

Uneaixoise

well, I'm sooo disappointed . . . tickets went on sale this morning at 10:00 for Neil deGrasse Tyson at TN Performing Arts Ctr Nov. 18 -- at exactly 10:00 I started trying to buy tix on their website -- you're not going to believe this but according to their website all seats were already sold out -- at least for Wednesday -- so I tried calling their tix phone no. and the recording said "wait time will be over 60 minutes" -- I give up

10:23 am

Uneaixoise

only 2 performances and the friends going with me can't go on the 19th --- of course, it's probably sold out as well

10:31 am

josephjames

what does he... do?

10:31 am

josephjames

i mean he's a scientist, does he just lecture?

10:31 am

josephjames

is it a comedy routine?

10:31 am

Uneaixoise

he's a world-famous scientist -- speaker, writer, has TV show

10:32 am

josephjames

i know i just wonder what he woudl DO for a live performance

10:32 am

Uneaixoise

he's brilliant and clever and just a downright genius!

10:32 am

josephjames

what would this particular performance consist of

10:33 am

Uneaixoise

I assume he'd speak on a variety of topics -- am a HUGE fan

10:33 am

josephjames

that is all i wondered

10:33 am

MollyL

I wasn't sure why a lecture by this guy would be so popular.

10:34 am

Uneaixoise

wow, just tried to get into their website to see how they described his performance -- high volume has crashed it -- good grief

10:34 am

josephjames

so many academics are boring public speakers that when they find a good one they really latch on to him

10:36 am

Uneaixoise

i could watch/listen to him read the phonebook -- he's a fantastic speaker . . . sigh

10:37 am

Uneaixoise

he's written at least 10 books -- this may be in part to promote his newest publication . . .

10:40 am

Uneaixoise

ok here's what his Austin publicity says re this tour: an evening of engaging conversation on science, exploration and the world as we know it.

10:40 am

sukee

Lucky you Une, I would love to see NDT live.

10:41 am

Uneaixoise

unlucky me -- was sold out the minute the tix went on sale :-((

10:41 am

Uneaixoise

I'm crushed :-(

10:41 am

sukee

Oh sorry, I thought you were going.

10:42 am

Uneaixoise

me too, sukee!!

10:42 am

sukee

Do you get to watch his talk show, I don't get that channel?

10:42 am

Uneaixoise

10:47 am

sukee

Just got my lunch delivered :)

10:49 am

10:53 am

rururocks

I don't even know anything about Tyson

10:54 am

Uneaixoise

wow! I got a human being on the phone -- she said they've actually had more calls re Tyson than for Bob Dylan tix!!!

10:54 am

sukee

He is an astrophysicist, hosted the show Cosmos, is the director of the Hayden Planetarium. I follow him on Facebook.

10:54 am

sukee

Lol

10:55 am

Uneaixoise

she took my name and no. and will call when they can get into their system -- they can't even get in themselves!

10:56 am

sukee

Let's hope she does :)

10:59 am

Uneaixoise

keeping my phone by my side all day!

10:59 am

Uneaixoise

oh, and did I mention the performance isn't even until November 18?!

11:00 am

sukee

Popular guy.

11:02 am

Uneaixoise

it actually warms the cockles of my heart that he's able to get people that interested in science

11:02 am

sukee

For sure.

11:03 am

MollyL

He sounds like the UUSue of the real live world

11:03 am

harpjane

what are the stats for the y, and the lone i please?

11:03 am

Uneaixoise

oh, just scrolled down, yes, sukee, I have the channel that broadcasts his new TV show, Startalk -- i think it's one of the "family" of National Geographic channels

11:03 am

sukee

ya 4/10

11:03 am

Uneaixoise

so far there have only been 3 episodes

11:04 am

MollyL

The lone I is an adverb, cold

11:04 am

rururocks

wonders why there are cockles in Une's heart?

11:04 am

sukee

ic 5/16

11:04 am

harpjane

thanks

11:04 am

MollyL

That whole cockles thing has always confused me

11:05 am

Dorens

Oh he is such a rock star! Whenever he's been on Jon Stewart or Steven Colbert's shows, he's been the perfet combination of witty and edifying.

11:05 am

Uneaixoise

Arianna Huffington, Christopher Nolan, Dan Savage

11:06 am

Uneaixoise

I totally agree, doren!!!

11:06 am

Dorens

I'd love to see him live. When I was volunteering for the Jazz at the Planetarium series many many years ago, I noticed this charismatic guy with a bunch of other men, several Friday nights. Had no idea who he was then, but just knew he was someone important.

11:06 am

harpjane

stats for the far left h?

11:06 am

MollyL

Ooo, another fan girl checks in. This Science Guy has quite a following.

11:06 am

Uneaixoise

did you see my earlier post, doren? he crashed the Tenn. Performing Arts ticketing site this morning!

11:07 am

MollyL

ha 4/6

11:07 am

harpjane

thanks nbt and nbs

11:07 am

MollyL

hi 4/8

11:08 am

Dorens

wouldn't dream of comparing him to Bill Nye ("the Science Guy"). My grandkids loved watching him on the recreated Cosmos. Hah, Une. not surprised. Hey Une, going to Wolf Hall part I on Sunday. Did you watch the PBS series?

11:08 am

Uneaixoise

omg!!! how fabulous, doren!!!!

Uneaixoise

11:09 am

redshoes

11:09 am

Dorens

I had thought I'd been to enough theater this year, but then TDF offered $39 tickets, so.....

11:09 am

Uneaixoise

Bill Nye's a very cool science guy as well!!

11:09 am

sukee

I'm too busy watching baseball these days.

11:09 am

redshoes

11:09 am

Uneaixoise

$39?! are you kidding?!

11:10 am

redshoes

d'oh! Sorry all.

11:10 am

sukee

Thank you redshoes :)

11:10 am

sukee

I had missed that one.

11:10 am

Dorens

no idea where the seats are though. that's what TDF does.
So, Mark Rylance is in the PBS version and he is just genius!!

11:10 am

redshoes

I do what I can. It was my first word. Ha.

11:11 am

Dorens

thanks reds.

11:11 am

Uneaixoise

it's not a very big theatre though, right?

11:12 am

Uneaixoise

Tony Awards tribute to Tommy Tune this year should be GREAT!

11:12 am

Dorens

wintergarden... don't think it's one of the smaller ones. I've been so lucky in other areas of my life... I decided I'll take my chances. If they're not great seats, I'll still enjoy

11:12 am

sukee

Cool, the Tony Awards are my favorite awards show.

11:12 am

Uneaixoise

back when i was going on theatre tours with my mom every year, we saw several shows he starred in :-)

11:12 am

Uneaixoise

oh, ok, yeah Wintergarden's big

11:13 am

Uneaixoise

isn't that where Phantom played for years?

11:13 am

sukee

I like the fact the awards let you see parts of plays.

11:13 am

Uneaixoise

me too, sukee!

11:13 am

Dorens

Yes.. He's an amazing talent. My very good friend has a condo in South Beach and I've been there with her often. Yoga on the beach at 7 AM.. Tommy is there every time we've been. Front and center. and a very sweet guy.

11:13 am

Uneaixoise

how fun!!!!

11:14 am

Dorens

i think i saw Cats there, but not sure. Just know I've been there often.

11:14 am

Uneaixoise

he was so adorable in My One and Only with Twiggy :-)

11:14 am

Uneaixoise

Cats, yes

11:14 am

Uneaixoise

11:14 am

sukee

I saw Cats on Broadway, I fell asleep.

11:15 am

Uneaixoise

omg sukee - i loved it!!

11:15 am

sukee

It was not the play but we had been walking around all day from one end of Manhattan to the other.

11:15 am

sukee

I fell asleep for a minute during "Memories."

11:15 am

Dorens

Me too! (loved it) Though I've been known to fall asleep at theaters, very briefly, even when I've loved the shows.

11:16 am

sukee

I just discovered that a glass of wine is great for a nagging toothache. It's been getting better every day but this is better than aspirin :)

11:17 am

Dorens

i'll try to remember that next time i have a toothache.

11:17 am

Uneaixoise

LOLOLOL I once did that -- had flown in from Nashville - had been up nearly all nite the nite before -- fell asleep so HARD, I woke up with my head in Jennifer's lap :-)

11:17 am

sukee

As long as it's not too sweet.

11:18 am

sukee

I'm drinking a merlot cabarnet :)

11:18 am

Dorens

11:18 am

Uneaixoise

Soodle

Almost 9 o clock (wine o clock) here. Wine and Soodle both chilling. Evening all!

2:55 pm

MollyL

Hello Soodle. Nice to hear from someone who really likes wine. Slainte.

2:57 pm

Soodle

Whoosh! This glass of wine is eagerly anticipated. I'm having an Aged Parent Free Friday. My phone is switched off & I'm switching off too. Lol. Bottoms up!

2:58 pm

MollyL

Enjoy your Aged Parent Free Day/Night.

2:58 pm

Soodle

And, hey! Who doesn't like wine?

3:02 pm

MollyL

Earlier it was reported that wine is a total waste. I think some people enjoy it as their drink of choice. It beats Vodka straight out of the bottle.

3:50 pm

bichon

Tough little grid this is:(

5:40 pm

ch1212

Hi crossy. Left a note yesterday --- last check all clear, so I don't have to go back for a YEAR. Hurrah!

5:41 pm

crosshair

Personally, I never said it was a waste, rather, I said that wine was wasted on me. I said this because it does not matter if it is a 5 dollar bottle of wine made last week, or a ten thousand dollar bottle that has been aging in some rich guys cellar for 50 years, it all tastes the same to me--grape juice.

5:41 pm

crosshair

Yaa for ch1212!!!

5:42 pm

crosshair

Now, a 20 year old bottle of single malt, aye, that is a thing of beauty:)

5:43 pm

ch1212

My beloved is a single malt fan too. Every so often we make the splurge.

5:43 pm

crosshair

:)

5:43 pm

crosshair

Yup, just a tbs or two of water to release the aromas, and yer good to go.

5:44 pm

ch1212

And on that happy note, I'll be back for tomorrow's grid ---- he's on vacation this week, and we're taking day adventures. Happybabbling!

5:45 pm

crosshair

I will look forward to seeing you tomorrow, ch1212:)

5:45 pm

origami

Yummm ... single malt scotch! I have a bottle myself.

5:46 pm

crosshair

The small, craft distillers are best, but it is so expensive:(

5:47 pm

cybernan

hi everyone

5:48 pm

cybernan

crossy if wine tastes like grape juice you are not drinking the right kind of wine! A fine wine is just like a fine single malt and should be tasted in the same manner -- small estate wineries produce the best

5:49 pm

crosshair

We are fortunate in that we have a Canadian Mist distillery right here in town. Every once in a while they uncask a rare wonder out of their storage facilities to share with the locals.

5:49 pm

crosshair

We are lucky in that there are different tipples for different folks, cybernan:)

5:50 pm

cybernan

single malt rye, crossy?

5:51 pm

crosshair

yup. Not something I am heavily into, but it is a nice change over swilling vodka.

5:53 pm

crosshair

Recently our Canadian Mist uncasked a 40 year old and blended it with two others, a 20 year old, and a ten, and named it after our home town. they produced a very small batch. was very nice.
