1:07 am

sprite

good morning all

1:07 am

rururocks

hello sprite

1:07 am

sprite

hiya ru :) How's life?

1:08 am

rururocks

today ? today was nice for me

1:08 am

sprite

good to hear.

1:09 am

rururocks

how are you doing after your surgery now? still improving?

1:09 am

sprite

yes, slowly but surely. Am down 30 kg, have now hit a kind of plateau. But it will start going down again soon.

1:10 am

sprite

no more diabetes medication! That is a great improvement

1:10 am

rururocks

that's fantastic in this short a time isn't it? good for you

1:10 am

rururocks

I am on my plateau too

1:11 am

sprite

in a year. It is not a record or anything, but it is nice. I prefer it to losing 60 kg in one year... it is good if you can adapt slowly.

1:11 am

sprite

and feeling good, ru?

1:11 am

rururocks

yes.. I just wish it were easier to drop pounds.. it's harder at my age

1:12 am

sprite

low carb and lots of exercise?

1:13 am

rururocks

i'm doing low carb.. lots of exercise is the issue

1:13 am

sprite

yeah that isn't as easy as some make it sound. You need to find the time and the drive, and your body has to be able to do it too.

1:16 am

sprite

phantom: coyote

1:17 am

flosey

fw and off to bed, need an early night tonight!

1:17 am

sprite

wtg flosey, and sleep well

1:17 am

rururocks

good for you flosey.. i'm missing a stupid four

1:18 am

Lizlin

Congrats, Flosey and hi all

1:18 am

sprite

hiya Liz :) *hugs*

1:18 am

Lizlin

Hugs, Sprite. How are you today?

1:19 am

sprite

a bit too much pain the last few days. But otherwise I am splendid! How are you and your beloved?

1:19 am

Lizlin

We're both well.

1:20 am

sprite

good to hear. How are the whales?

1:20 am

Lizlin

Pain isn't good.

1:20 am

Lizlin

They're around but when we've been out, they've not been too active. Always see a lot of them though.

1:22 am

sprite

it is always a challenge to find the right balance... do enough to exercise, but not so much that you are in pain for 2 or 3 days and cannot sleep from it. Wish it were a constant... but one day I can walk twice for 20 mins and no problems, the other only 1x10 and hell.

1:22 am

sprite

it must be really amazing to see them so often

1:22 am

Lizlin

It is difficult not knowing what it's going to be like from day to day.

1:23 am

sprite

yeah. But, as they say here, you can grow old with it, so no need to complain ;)

1:23 am

Lizlin

It is amazing. Every time we see them, I still am as awestruck as i was the first time. We'll go out again this week - probably on Thursday or Friday.

1:24 am

sprite

one day I will come with you guys

1:25 am

Lizlin

That would be so amazing. You'd love this time of year here. Clear blue skies today, about 23 C at the max and no humidity.

1:25 am

sprite

sounds heavenly

1:25 am

Lizlin

Though from what we saw on our walk just before, the ocean was pretty bumpy today! Not a whale watching day for us!

1:27 am

sprite

I don't mind bumpy seas :)

1:27 am

Lizlin

And why did it take me so long to find the whale in the grid!

1:27 am

Lizlin

I hate bumpy seas :(

1:27 am

sprite

ah, that is babble blindness

1:27 am

Lizlin

And why did I put an exclamation mark instead of a question mark?

1:29 am

sprite

uhmmmm missed the mark?

1:31 am

rururocks

bumpy seas or humpy seas?

1:31 am

rururocks

(small pun on humpbacks)

1:31 am

Lizlin

:) Love the humpy seas

1:31 am

sprite

bumpy seas full of humpback whales

1:32 am

sprite

hehehe snap, ru

1:32 am

rururocks

thanks for baleen me out sprite

1:33 am

rururocks

I bet the whale watching boats make a krilling out your way liz :D

1:33 am

sprite

any time, ru :)

1:34 am

Lizlin

If they fluke it and see any.

1:34 am

Lizlin

And confirming it would breach confidentiality!

1:34 am

sprite

*grins*

1:35 am

rururocks

mostly humpbacks out your way liz?

1:36 am

rururocks

do you see Blues or minkes in Aussie land?

1:36 am

rururocks

I saw a blue once in Monterey .. it was amazing

1:36 am

Lizlin

Mostly, yes. Occasional Minke whale. Blues are further out on the continental shelf.

1:36 am

Lizlin

That must've been awesome. Wow! Would love to see such a huge whale.

1:36 am

gemini_J13

sprite reading your babble dicitionary ~ and I am a clurker, I guess.. or a profile reader!

1:37 am

sprite

hello gemini :) Nice!

1:37 am

rururocks

I have no idea how large it really was.. but bigger than a boat for sure

1:37 am

Lizlin

Have been some or4s apparently but I've never seen one here.

1:38 am

Lizlin

Blue whales are huge! Our humpbacks grow to 16 m on average.

1:38 am

rururocks

i was hoping to see or4's on my trip in BC.. but it was too early

1:38 am

Lizlin

But we also see tiny, newborn calves - well tiny compared to their mothers.

1:39 am

Lizlin

I thought the or4's were permanent around Vancouver Island. That's where I saw them.

1:39 am

rururocks

we dove with humpbacks in Hawaii though. .at Molakini Crater

1:39 am

sprite

wow you guys have had such amazing experiences!

1:39 am

rururocks

not sure if I spelled that correctly

1:40 am

Lizlin

Very jealous - would love to do that. Not supposed to dive with the whales here but some people do, when they're spotting turtles - nudge nudge!

1:40 am

rururocks

we didn't have a choice a baby whale came to check out our group

1:40 am

Lizlin

One of our whale watching crew "fell" off his boat once, when there were humpbacks around.

1:40 am

sprite

hehehe

1:40 am

Lizlin

Amazing!

1:41 am

rururocks

momma came later

1:41 am

Lizlin

I guess the highlight for me is seeing Migaloo twice - he's the white humpback that swims past here.

1:41 am

Lizlin

Not albino because he has brown eyes but totally white apart from that.

1:42 am

sprite

(dem italian greeting, grrrr)

1:42 am

rururocks

my highlight was diving with whale sharks.. enormous

1:42 am

Lizlin

We have them here - never seen one though.

1:42 am

Lizlin

Thanks Sprite!

1:43 am

rururocks

that was at point reyes for me.. total luck

1:43 am

sprite

always miss that one

1:43 am

rururocks

that was my last word sprite

1:43 am

Lizlin

Got to go. 36 left to finish later. Catch you again soon Ru. Hugs, Sprite.

1:43 am

sprite

glad I am not the only one

1:43 am

rururocks

2:10 am

grannyrose

<------- suffering from domestic deafness. don has put it into his phone

2:10 am

2:11 am

sprite

2:11 am

grannyrose

2:11 am

sprite

agony*

2:12 am

grannyrose

i am thinking of booking for 8 weeks, and if i don't need it get the clinic to rebook for the following week.

2:12 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} sweetheart. try and take it easy a little. xoxox

2:13 am

rururocks

Sounds like you should plan them out

2:13 am

grannyrose

it's a little difficult. sometimes they last 12 weeks, sometimes 6-8 weeks.

2:15 am

rururocks

Maybe every 9 weeks then

2:16 am

grannyrose

it's trial and error. but if i book before i need it, as i said, i can always post-pone it for the next week.

2:19 am

grannyrose

Why do we get these punishingly tiny grids on weekends?

5:08 am

MollyL

The grids have been right puny the past few weekends.

5:12 am

dpomfr

Maybe some of us like them.

5:23 am

ivesy3

5:24 am

sukee

5:25 am

ivesy3

5:31 am

MollyL

However you like the grids, large or small, comments on the size of the grid are not meant to offend anyone. Someone said yesterday that they "like the challenge of the larger grids." I agree.

5:32 am

sukee

Sweet relief here today, the killer humidity has gone down.

5:32 am

sukee

We complain, but we still love this game

5:33 am

MollyL

I would like to put in a request for some sweet relief. Yesterday's heat index was 112.

5:33 am

sukee

It felt that way here too. But a storm pushed it out of the way.

5:33 am

sukee

Still sticky, but much, much better.

5:50 am

ivesy3

humidity was 93% here yesterday. rains, then gets worse. .not quite as bad as where you are molly ! but no ac in main lobby at library , so its pretty bad

5:52 am

bichon

Speaking about complaints about small grids on the weekend; when you're retired, there is no weekend

5:52 am

Okay, need breakfast, got down to 15

Parallel Fifths Can Kill You is a long nickname
: D

9:13 am

aebmusica

well I was a Theory major and it was written on a small staff so it looked shorter than it being written out.

9:15 am

aebmusica

I had a stamp made of it and signed myself with this when writing letters.

9:18 am

aebmusica

My nickname was just "Parallel Fifths", Molly.

9:26 am

hello friends. 88 words? That's not going to help much with "task aboidance!" hahaha

10:13 am

Trifioso

avoidance....

10:14 am

Judi

Hiya, Trif. How was Ireland?

10:14 am

hego

:)

10:14 am

Trifioso

absolutely fantastic judi. It feels surreal now - did I really go to Ireland?

10:15 am

Judi

So glad you had a good time. Did the kids love it?

10:15 am

periwinkle

hi folks, help with lone O and lone i

10:15 am

Trifioso

they real did! Group dynamics proved a bit tricky, but we all survived

10:16 am

periwinkle

found the lone i

10:16 am

Trifioso

my two had been before, many times. their respective love interests had not been before, and watching them see it for the first time was really fun

10:16 am

hego

And got to see Soodle!

10:16 am

Judi

Ooh. Babble bonus! Can't swing a stick on the planet without hitting one of us.

10:16 am

periwinkle

still need left column O pls

10:16 am

Trifioso

that was so amazing....I wish we had had more time. I suspect a week to chat would have done it. She is an absolute treasure.

10:16 am

rururocks

did your respective love interest go too trif?

10:17 am

Trifioso

no ruru. He just started a new job, so not in the cards

10:18 am

rururocks

oh.. that's too bad.. would have been a good experience with the kids

10:18 am

Trifioso

the funniest part was me driving....

10:18 am

Judi

And by funny, you mean scarey.

10:19 am

Trifioso

half the time I just made it up. because we kept crossing between north and the republic, half the time the signs were in MPH, which did me NO good, as our rental car only showed KPH.

10:19 am

Trifioso

so I just drove like a bat out of hell and we all hoped for the best

10:19 am

hego

eek!

10:20 am

rururocks

Imagines Meat Loaf in Trif's speeding car

10:20 am

Trifioso

pretty much

10:20 am

hego

And on the wrong side

10:20 am

Judi

lol! My sister-in-law got into a car accident when they were in Ireland. No one hurt, thank God. But, the one country not covered by their rental/credit card insurance was Ireland. Ended up costing them about $5K out of pocket.

10:21 am

Trifioso

oh dear! Glad we avoided that!

10:21 am

rururocks

I don't think I'd drive in Ireland.. i'd be too chicken

10:21 am

hego

It's not easy, Ru.

10:21 am

hego

especially the round abouts.

10:22 am

hego

Clockwise!

10:22 am

Trifioso

the GPS was incredibly helpful with that, hego. it would say "enter to the left" and things like that

10:22 am

hego

Great!

10:23 am

rururocks

I'd love to go to Scotland myself and hope to some day

10:23 am

hego

Going soon, Ru

10:23 am

Judi

It does take a while for the brain to adjust. We had that experience in Bermuda. Ah yes, round abouts. Defying death, attempting to exit, all while speeding in a circular motion. Fun times.

10:24 am

rururocks

do you need anyone to tote your bags hego?

I was completely and utterly impressed with Tertiare's beau. I know him, of course, but this is the first time we spent extended time together. he is a complete gentleman. Carried my bag, ALWAYS a please and thank you, a wonderful young man. Every single relative we visited made a point of pulling me aside to say how wonderful they found him. When we got home, I received a handwritten thank you note from his parents, thanking me for giving him the opportunity to travel with us. CLEARLY that apple comes from a mighty good tree

10:24 am

hego

Bill does it, Ru. :)

10:24 am

rururocks

damn

10:25 am

rururocks

sounds like she picked well trif..

10:25 am

Judi

Polite, respectful and useful. You've been aced out, Ru.

10:25 am

hego

Loves Trif's use of the word "beau".

10:26 am

Trifioso

the one thing about the trip that I found a slight bummer is how generic the world has become. On our day in Belfast, the kids could have eaten at Subway, KFC, McDonalds, Five Guys, etc. All of which exist here at home. That's not what I am looking for when I travel, you know what I mean?

10:26 am

rururocks

(yet once again judi)

10:26 am

Trifioso

nah, ruru, I am sure you are just as lovely.

10:26 am

rururocks

I do a really good Hoke if needed

10:27 am

Judi

Yes that is a bummer, Trif. You have to ask the locals where to get good taters & neeps.

10:27 am

rururocks

(but that would involve calling Hego "Ms. Daisy"

10:27 am

hego

Ru is lovely. But don't tell anyone, he likes to keep it quiet.

10:27 am

Trifioso

LOL I call my mum Ms. Daisy when I drive her around

10:27 am

rururocks

<--does a really good morgan freeman impersonation

10:27 am

Trifioso

I already knew, hego. I love me some Ruru. Torgone has my heart forever, but Ruru gets the silver

10:28 am

rururocks

torgone is very, very funny

10:28 am

hego

Bye folks. Have a good one!!

10:28 am

Judi

Ta, hego!

10:29 am

Trifioso

bye hego

10:29 am

Judi

Torgone is missing the love fest. He should be here for this.

10:29 am

Trifioso

Yell "tits"

10:30 am

Judi

Ha ha! Think I'll pass.

10:30 am

Judi

How about.... BOOBIES!

10:31 am

Trifioso

lol....like Beetlejuice...

10:32 am

Judi

Anyone have a clue for the Ca6/24?

10:33 am

Trifioso

oh I have that....it is a technical term for teeth with cavities, past tense

10:35 am

Judi

*blank stare*

10:36 am

Trifioso

ok...im so bad at cluing. ca+ anagram of ri4?

10:37 am

Judi

Monkied it. Ty.

10:38 am

Trifioso

Judi

Trifioso

hi crossy! Guess what??? I bought a chain saw! There will be NO stopping me now! hahahahaha

10:40 am

crosshair

not sure if it really is, but it clues well that way

10:41 am

crosshair

omg! Trif with a chainsaw!

10:41 am

Trifioso

huzzah for judi!

10:41 am

Trifioso

its the sexiest thing ever, crossy

10:41 am

crosshair

redecorating the bathroom? lol!

10:42 am

Trifioso

nah...in a storm a tree in my yard split, and half of it has been hanging precariously for MONTHS. I got a quote of $1200 to lay it down from a tree company. I said a BIG "no effing way!" to that, and bought the chain saw.

10:43 am

crosshair

how much of the base is left. can you save 6 feet of the stump?

10:43 am

Judi

Driving on the left, using a chainsaw... it's a mad mad mad mad mad world!

10:44 am

Judi

Thinking about going the Farmer's Market, but it's so bloody hot out.

10:44 am

crosshair

What we do is cut off broken tree at 6 or 7 feet--if possible. then there is a local fella who make amazing totem poles out of them for a small fee.

10:44 am

Trifioso

its is still a huge tree, crossy. it split about 12 feet up, and the half to the left is still going strong

10:45 am

Trifioso

judi it is too hot to MOVE today!

10:46 am

crosshair

70F here :) I will send you cool Georgian Bay breezes...

10:46 am

Judi

It was too hot to move yesterday as well. I did some inferior decorating. Covering over the corners of a chair that my cats scratched . Faux pony hair with nailheads. The half I finished looks pretty good, if I do say so myself.

10:47 am

Trifioso

a dj on the radio said the funniest thing the other day - people down south are laughing at us northerners now, (oh, was it 95 degrees for two days in a row? awwww) they way we laugh at them in the winter (aw, did it snow two inches in Atlanta? awwww)

10:47 am

Trifioso

well done you, judi! that is not an easy task to do well!

10:48 am

crosshair

My brother laughs at us. they get periods of 114-118 F at times but they have 6-14% humidity also. Kind of like an e-z-bake oven ;)

10:48 am

Judi

Well, it's just the corners. About 18" x 6" on either side. About a $30 project.

10:49 am

Judi

Chair was in too good shape otherwise. Couldn't justify throwing it out (or taking a chainsaw to it).

10:49 am

crosshair

he was up here last week, and sad the 90F felt nice...

10:50 am

Trifioso

yes, the hot weather today is REALLY Interfering with my chain sawing plans.

10:51 am

Judi

Off to do some chores. See you kids tomorrow! *POOF*

10:51 am

Trifioso

bye judi

10:52 am

crosshair

it is a quick thing--as long as you do your cuts correctly

10:52 am

Trifioso

I'm still learning, but I am having fun

10:53 am

crosshair

Use a three cut, directional cut and you can lay it exactly where you want.

10:53 am

jesdraggon

morning

10:54 am

Trifioso

morning jes

10:54 am

Trifioso

Ill practice crossy, I promise! I am mostly cutting down striplings too big for the lopper. not really too heavy duty, other than that monster tree

10:55 am

jesdraggon

well that was ... timing. Soon as I started here the emergency phone rang. Off to work I get.

10:56 am

crosshair

On the side where you wish the tree to fall, you cut inward about 30% of the depth of the tree. then on the same side you go up about 8-12 inches and cut downward at an angle to match the depth of the first cut. remove that pice. lastly, you go on the side of the tree away from the cut, and cut straight in to meet the first cut on the other side. then stand back. Some tree will "kick out" the base as they fall.

10:56 am

Trifioso

oh no!

10:56 am

Trifioso

oh! thanks crossy!

10:57 am

crosshair

That way you do not bind your saw

10:57 am

crosshair

Good for larger trees

10:57 am

Trifioso

what defines larger? more than 8" diameter?

10:57 am

crosshair

12 inches and over give or take

10:58 am

Trifioso

I wont' be doing anything that big, but I will retain the info! thanks so much

10:58 am

Trifioso

11:01 am

Trifioso

I'm a mess just thinking about it

11:04 am

crosshair

You will need a hobby to take your mind off it. hang gliding, skydiving--something with a nice solid fear factor involved.

11:52 am

lilliann

I agree Deeha.I don't know if you watched the swimming but there was a chinese guy who was banned for 3 months as he took a heart drug that is banned becuase it helps something or other(basically a cheat drug) if he has a heart problem, fair enough but there is no eveidence given that he has and to be honest, if his heart is that bad that he's not drugs for it, i don't know how the hell he can swim at the speed he does!
