12:52 am

grannyrose

6's are ba, ca, ca, en, ra, ra, ro, sa, ta

12:53 am

rbud

the bottom one is a combo of two three-letter words that rhyme

12:53 am

rbud

ty, rose

12:54 am

grannyrose

melonheadjujube

hi! my instrument is in the grid (: ð„¢

1:17 am

grannyrose

yes melon, so it is. *grin*

1:17 am

dcseain

upright and/or electric, melon, and tuned in 4ths or 5ths?

1:19 am

melonheadjujube

upright, 4ths. 1867 GemÃ¼nder. Sold a year and a half ago to an up-and-coming young player. Paid for the Steinway I had bought a year earlier.

1:19 am

cybernan

*!* ta da *!* - thanks for the help

1:19 am

dcseain

congrats, nan

1:19 am

rbud

yay, nan!

1:19 am

grannyrose

WTG CYBERNAN!!!

1:19 am

dcseain

and how wonderful all around, melon :)

1:20 am

cybernan

ty and good night everyone

1:21 am

melonheadjujube

It worked out. I can't play as well as I used to, and someone who knew my instrument had a student who was ready for a good instrument. It went to a good home. To "own" an old, fine instrument is to be aware that you are really just borrowing it.

1:21 am

melonheadjujube

'nite cybernan

1:22 am

dcseain

i had my 1967 violin rebuilt a couple years ago. It sounds amazing. The soundposts had rotted.

1:22 am

melonheadjujube

Yikes. My brother is a luthier. His basses have won prizes at both the ISB and VSA makers competitions.

1:23 am

dcseain

very nice!

1:23 am

dcseain

my violin has a very thick bridge. The first one that hasn't warped under the high-tension strings i use. :)

1:24 am

dcseain

i have to use viola mutes, and even some of those don't fit. :)

1:24 am

melonheadjujube

Where was your violin made?

1:24 am

dcseain

Bavaria

1:24 am

melonheadjujube

ah! found a ceramics term, too. My pastime.

1:25 am

dcseain

purchased in Washington, DC. I'm the 2nd owner.

1:25 am

melonheadjujube

Mittenwald?

1:25 am

dcseain

no. frankly, i'd need to go look. I'm a bit overtired and might should sleep :)

1:25 am

dcseain

new bow is on my list for next year.

1:27 am

rururocks

a new bow should resinate with you :D

1:27 am

rururocks

or rosinate :D

1:28 am

melonheadjujube

Mittenwald is the Bavarian city most associated with violinmaking. Scherl & Roth in Cleveland imported from there.

1:28 am

melonheadjujube

Ah! Ruru! Take a bow!

1:30 am

rururocks

I should have legato it alone

1:34 am

dcseain

there's a Legato Rd and a Legato School near me. The area once known as Legato, VA is now postally Fairfax, but commonly called Fair Oaks or Pender.

1:34 am

rururocks

I used to play violin as a kid

1:36 am

dcseain

couple years ago, 175 former students gathered to perform at the local HS orchestra director's retirement concert.

1:36 am

rururocks

that's nice dc

1:36 am

rururocks

I bet that was something

1:37 am

rururocks

I wonder if they all went out for pizzicato afterwards :D

1:40 am

dcseain

i rarely eat pizza out since i can't have barley nor barley malt anymore.

1:41 am

rururocks

sorry dc.. that was a joked I plucked out of the air :D

1:41 am

dcseain

holy crap.the floors are maple. the 4mo old kitten and the 4 year old cat are playing on a wing chair, which the somehow just moved about 40cm across the floor.

1:41 am

rururocks

joke

1:41 am

dcseain

:) And i appreciate it and your sense of humor

1:41 am

dcseain

i miss donuts.

1:42 am

dcseain

and cake.

1:42 am

rururocks

oh cake

1:42 am

dcseain

happily, i was never a fan of bagels.

1:42 am

rbud

there is barley in all those?

1:42 am

dcseain

i can make cake w/ouc barley malt. Swan's Down has none in it. :)

1:43 am

dcseain

barley malt at 0.5-2% of total flour volume, almost always. Bagels always.

1:43 am

dcseain

the only thing i can eat at panera that has flour are the chocolate chip cookies.

1:43 am

dcseain

for example.

1:43 am

dcseain

i can only eat the italian bread at Subway.

1:44 am

dcseain

gluten-free is sometimes a good option. Which is sad, as a gluten-free diet makes me sick.

1:44 am

dcseain

whole wheat is safe

1:44 am

rbud

so just that one grain? I remember making triticale bread back in my noble hippie vegetarian days in college, is that flour still around?

1:45 am

dcseain

yes. so no barley, barley malt, malted barley flour, nor unspecified malt for me. Nor beer nor Scotch.

1:45 am

dcseain

American whiskey and bourbon are safe -- corn and wheat. :)

1:45 am

dcseain

hooray for that. I'm fond of those.

1:46 am

dcseain

yes, triticale is stall around. teff, oats, wheat. Some harder to find or more expensive than others.

1:47 am

dcseain

Bob's Red Mill does a lot of specialty flours and is very, very careful about cross-contamination. I use their potato starch.

1:47 am

dcseain

oh, that pa5.16 was unexpected.

1:48 am

rbud

I have two of those, with two diff. vowel endings

1:49 am

dcseain

oh, thanks! i didn't expect that one either :)

1:53 am

rbud

irritated that I've only found one D after all this time, lol

1:54 am

dcseain

i have a da4 and plural

1:54 am

dcseain

and a da4

1:54 am

rbud

ah, fishy, silly me, ty!

1:55 am

rbud

the bizarre monkeying I've done for that, sigh, and it turned out to be a plain old normal word, hahaha!

1:56 am

dcseain

that happens to me a lot. Especially with the io4/5 in the grid today. I oft miss that entirely

1:58 am

dcseain

an new i needs must sleep. g'night/day and happy babbling, yall!

1:59 am

rbud

night, seain, sleep well. :)

3:30 am

sprite

good morning all

3:35 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} and good morning my dear friend

3:35 am

sprite

*hugs rose* Good evening my darling, how was your weekend?

3:36 am

grannyrose

quiet. pain settling with the TENS. how is your weekend progressing. sorry i missed you last flip.

3:37 am

sprite

all good here, I am doing almost nothing, am feeling the reaction to the crazy week(s) and need to rest.

3:38 am

grannyrose

good for you sprite

3:39 am

sprite

slightly disappointing, to realise that I cannot handle a schedule with something every day. I really need downtime in between. But I managed and that is what counts, right?

3:39 am

sprite

glad the pain is settling now.

3:40 am

grannyrose

just managing is not alright. i have had to acknowledge i cannot handle busy weeks. i plan all my appointments so i don't overdo it.

3:41 am

grannyrose

please be more careful sweetie.

3:42 am

grannyrose

dinner nearly ready. xoxox i'll pop back in when i have finished.

3:42 am

sprite

that is what I usually do. The madness started with my mentor who plans all her sessions within one week. With the demands of my family and the flu and the singing performance, it was more or less out of my hands.

3:43 am

grannyrose

oh yeah. the singing...did you cope okay?

3:44 am

sprite

yeah it went pretty good. My voice refused only one time, and the people in the audience either didn't hear or didn't care. Everybody became so quiet during my song :) No talking at all.

3:45 am

grannyrose

i bet that was because they were rapt with it. how wonderful.

3:46 am

sprite

yeah my husband told me. It quieted down as soon as I started singing. Might be because I sang a song in dutch, so they could understand it more easily than all the english songs, making it more worth their while to listen.

3:47 am

grannyrose

lovely sprite. good choice.

3:48 am

sprite

*grins* I was happy with the results. Lots of nice compliments too. Goes to show that even if your voice isn't 100%, you can still perform.

3:48 am

grannyrose

dinner here. bbs. xoxox

3:48 am

sprite

enjoy darling

4:06 am

sprite

brb, need breakfast

4:09 am

4:20 am

sprite

4:21 am

grannyrose

grannyrose

penquis

i bought the piece of pear pie yesterday....don't think i have ever had pear pie...that's why i bought it...

9:12 am

MLFAN17

pen I have never heard of pear pie but you would think if they make peach then why not make pear?

9:12 am

penquis

exactly...

9:12 am

MLFAN17

i was thinking about fruit a few days ago in connection with tea.

9:13 am

penquis

i have seen a few pear desserts at restaurants this fall....

9:13 am

MLFAN17

i mean pear tea hot or cold sounds good to me

9:13 am

MLFAN17

apples are usually in season for the fall

9:14 am

penquis

true...Maine grows a lot of apples....

9:15 am

MLFAN17

when they are in season all the grocery stores have them front and center here

9:15 am

penquis

here, too.... lots of varieties...

9:15 am

MLFAN17

exctlyP:)

9:16 am

MLFAN17

i also wonder why they don't make a pear tea? i mean i know people can make it at home but why not sell it as well?

9:17 am

MLFAN17

sorry meant exactly:)

9:17 am

penquis

interesting thought...

9:17 am

Uneaixoise

google pear tea -- lots of results :-)

9:18 am

penquis

i think i would prefer pear pie with tea.... ;o)

9:18 am

MLFAN17

une in bottles or making it yourself?

9:18 am

MLFAN17

with pear tea pen?:)

9:18 am

Uneaixoise

when i lived in france, pear tarts were a regular in the bakeries -- yum!

9:19 am

MLFAN17

that sounds so good too une

9:19 am

Uneaixoise

looks like the pear tea that's advertised is looseleaf "infused with pear"

9:20 am

MLFAN17

hmm

9:22 am

MLFAN17

Snapple hasn't come out with a pear tea yet which i find odd

9:24 am

Uneaixoise

well, there's this . . . Snapple Asian Pear Green Tea

9:24 am

MLFAN17

yes green tea always has an extra flavor with it as the green tea itself is sour

9:24 am

Uneaixoise

aaahhh

9:31 am

Scrabbler

I am drinking green tea--sweetened with stevia.

9:31 am

Scrabbler

I heard the truck first then looked out the window.

9:33 am

Scrabbler

And here it comes down the other side of the road...grrrrr.

9:33 am

MLFAN17

is that so your driveway will be blocked off or any parking spaces?

9:34 am

Scrabbler

There's not that much snow to block my driveway. That is always aggravating.

9:35 am

MLFAN17

the plow will be on your side the more snow you get right?

9:38 am

Scrabbler

The town plow goes on both sides of the road. But I also hire a snow plower for my own driveway. $350 for the season.

9:39 am

MLFAN17

that's good you ever an extra one. what about sa4/5 like the gritty stuff they have on beaches?lol

9:39 am

Scrabbler

That's what the town plow throws on the roads out here in the country. No salt out here.

9:40 am

bichon

9:40 am

MLFAN17

9:40 am

Scrabbler

Scrab its a fun place..do they have outdoor space to eat at?

10:32 am

Scrabbler

the 2 syllables rhyme--the second is what you find on a clothing item in a store, it shows the price of the item

10:32 am

Scrabbler

I don't know, I read that it opened, but I don't know about Sonic. I avoid restaurants due to noise.

10:37 am

Scrabbler

10:37 am

hurshy

You have to disconnect from whoever you pay for internet service and reconnect with another provider. But I doubt it is a server problem.

1:17 pm

rubyfoo

What could it be;, Dr Molly?

1:17 pm

hego

what browser do you use?

1:18 pm

rubyfoo

Why does this one work?

1:18 pm

MollyL

What Hego said. Change browsers. If you are on Internet Explorer or the new one that Windows 10 give (Edge?) switch to Google Chrome.

1:18 pm

hego

agree

1:19 pm

rururocks

I'm just getting used to windows 7.. no way I'm switching to 10

I have no idea why people jump on a new version of Windows before all the kinks get worked out. Unless they have a new machine where there is no option.

1:20 pm

The laptop has Windows 10. My friend is coming in the AM and she can probably do that for me

1:21 pm

1:21 pm

rubyfoo

No option with this silly little machine

1:21 pm

MollyL

Ruby, all you have to do is search for Google Chrome and download it. Then quit using that new Microsoft browser.

1:21 pm

hego

It's easy.

1:22 pm

MollyL

As much as I detest Microsoft browsers, I'm finding it hard to believe that entering "playbabble.com" will not load up Babble.
