6:08 am

rubyfoo

Hello Molly

6:15 am

MollyL

Hello. It seems our "wintry mix" is getting a late start. Nothing falling out of the sky yet.

6:17 am

ChampFit

Meanwhile in SE Texas, it's muggy, 67 degrees, with a high of 73. So gross out there!

6:17 am

sukee

Good morning all.

6:19 am

MollyL

It was in the 60's here earlier in the week. I love running around without a coat on in January.

6:19 am

Lizlin

Hi all

6:19 am

sukee

I enjoyed not having to wear my boots yesterday :) It's cold again now but it's going to warm up again next week.

6:20 am

sukee

Hi Liz

6:20 am

Lizlin

And talking of temperature it's about 75 F (nice of me to convert for you) at 10.20 pm!!!

6:20 am

Lizlin

25C for you, Sukee :)

6:20 am

sukee

We will have that soon enough :)

6:21 am

ChampFit

LIz, that sounds like Houston. But it's super humid. It'll be foggy this a.m. Good morning sukee!

6:21 am

sukee

Hi Champ :)

6:21 am

MollyL

I don't like humidity. It doesn't play nice with my hair.
: )

6:21 am

sukee

All I care about is that it is 6 weeks until baseball spring training starts.

6:22 am

ChampFit

I've always said I'd be rich if I had control of the hair spray in Houston. We must use TONS!

6:23 am

Lizlin

It's been in the mid to high 30s C (close to 100F) for the past few days - much hotter further South. But that's unusually hot for here. Usually the average for us in summer is high 20s, low 30s. (around 86C)

6:23 am

Lizlin

86F of course I meant.

6:24 am

Lizlin

Not pleasant - I'll be happy when the more usual temperatures return.

6:24 am

lil*monkey

*picturing Lizlin as a crispy piece of burnt bacon*

6:24 am

ChampFit

We had a warm Christmas. Not my favorite thing!

6:24 am

MollyL

Champ, the wannabe hair spray magnate.
: D

6:24 am

Lizlin

I can also happily do without humidity!

6:24 am

Lizlin

Nicely tanned lil*monkey - don't tend to stay out too long in the sun.

6:25 am

lil*monkey

I mean, when you said 86C haaaaaaa

6:25 am

Lizlin

Right :)

6:25 am

ChampFit

Exactly, Molly! I will have total control. Ha!

6:26 am

ChampFit

Anyone care to clue a Y word? I have a whopping 1

6:27 am

Lizlin

6:34 am

ChampFit

GAHHHHH!!! I have a 16 year old dog who's obviously not long for this world. Had him outside for about 15 mins. Let him in, and he literally just peed all over my floor right in front of me. He's making me insane!!!

6:34 am

sukee

Oh no.

6:35 am

Lizlin

Poor you; poor dog :(

6:35 am

MollyL

Ooo, another money making idea...Depends for dogs

6:36 am

ChampFit

I know he has what seems to be doggy alzheimer's, but he's not in pain, and he still eats, so I can't see putting him down. I think he's too big for a diaper...he's about 50 lbs.

6:36 am

Lizlin

Adult diapers!

6:37 am

MollyL

Damn, too late. They already make them.

6:37 am

ChampFit

I wonder if they'd work? Thank goodness my whole downstairs is wood or tile. If we had carpet I might have had to shoot him. ;)

6:38 am

MollyL

Don't they make a diaper like thing for older kids who still wet the bed? That might work for a 50 pound dog.

6:39 am

ChampFit

I'll check. Haven't had to look at diapers in a very long time, so don't know.

6:39 am

MollyL

Yep, they are called Good Nites. (Google is my friend)

6:39 am

ChampFit

On another note, he tinkled on my daughter's sandals, which were not where they belong anyway. So I get to tell her and do a little "Well, if you'd taken them to your room..." thing.

6:40 am

Lizlin

Time to head for the a/c. Good night from down under. Back tomorrow for my last 20 words.

6:40 am

sukee

Take care Liz

6:40 am

sukee

lol Champ

6:40 am

ChampFit

Right behind you...gotta run. Back later to finish my last 30. Have a lovely in the meantime!

6:52 am

MollyL

Well, just as predicted, we now have icy stuff falling. Good day to stay home and cook things, which is exactly what I have planned.

8:20 am

lil*monkey

Quadratto

8:20 am

Trifioso

I'm actually much more excited about his grill skills, vs his grid skills. I cannot manage a grill at ALL and cremate everything, so it will be a good upgrade!

8:21 am

lil*monkey

Oh I love grilled food! Being a good grillmaster is key.

8:21 am

Trifioso

it is indeed.

9:34 am

penquis

9:40 am

Scrabbler

Hi doseffing.

10:07 am

doseffing

... looking to predict this afternoon's weather ... Anyh snow this morning where you are?

10:09 am

Scrabbler

No, sadly, we don't have snow in the forecast for 12 days. I want to snowshoe again and we are in a thaw.

10:14 am

doseffing

... funny ... we've been quite cold for a week now ... no snow ... but the thaw ended Tuesday night/Wednesday morning ... happy to send you some cold if I can find a way

10:14 am

72 Temple Owl

we can send you some sleet...

10:15 am

doseffing

... had a bunch of that Tuesday evening ... you can keep any extra that you've got

10:15 am

Scrabbler

It has been cold since yesterday, so the ski resort across the valley has been making snow, but we will have temps in the 30s and 40s for the next 12 days. That is awful for the ski place.

10:15 am

Scrabbler

Hi Owl.

10:15 am

72 Temple Owl

since you've sent us your geese, it seems only fair

10:16 am

72 Temple Owl

hi scrabs, skv done and raring to go.

10:16 am

doseffing

... they're not our geese ... they're all refugees from Georgia and Alabama in the 1960s

10:18 am

72 Temple Owl

it's a conspiracy!

10:18 am

doseffing

... absolutely

10:18 am

rururocks

wow.. I am taking a long gander at this chat

10:18 am

doseffing

... no ... they're fat ganders

10:19 am

72 Temple Owl

perhaps canada should build a wall.

10:19 am

Scrabbler

Time to duck at Ruru's puns.

10:20 am

Uneaixoise

bwaaahaaahaaa

10:20 am

rururocks

ah.. it's fine scrabs you have run afowl of them before

10:20 am

Scrabbler

Hi Une. How are the puppies?

10:20 am

rururocks

if Canada could build a wall to keep the biebers in..i'm ok with that

10:21 am

Uneaixoise

they're good, thanks!

10:21 am

Scrabbler

What happened to the other pups?

10:21 am

rururocks

you are raising puppies une?

10:21 am

Uneaixoise

heading out in a bit to help transport a sweet tripod German Shepherd :-)

10:22 am

doseffing

... I wasn't going to say that ... but it's too late ... ... they were close to extinction in the Toronto and southern Ontario region in the fifties so someone thought it would be a neat idea to introduce two or three nesting pairs onto Toronto Island in about 1961 ... they got put on an endangered species list and they're still there ... ... even though there is something like 250,000 of them on the Toronto lakeshore now

10:22 am

MLFAN17

une?

10:22 am

rururocks

I love geese.. the more the merrier

10:22 am

Uneaixoise

no, not raising puppies, but I've posted a bunch of pics on my FB page of 2 puppies born to a very pregnant female we transported a few weeks ago -- sooooo cute!

10:23 am

doseffing

I think the biebs lives near Victoria ... he'd just take the ferry to Seattle

10:23 am

Scrabbler

Really, doseffing? We are overrun with them here in western NY.

10:23 am

MLFAN17

une what is a tripod german shepherd?

10:23 am

Uneaixoise

oh, ru -- people who live near a lake with tons of Canada geese are NOT fond of them -- they cover EVERYTHING in poop!

10:24 am

rururocks

another good reason for me to fly into nanaimo in july

10:24 am

Uneaixoise

she only has 3 legs -- but she gets along fine without the fourth

10:24 am

doseffing

... and they hold parades across the highway

10:24 am

Uneaixoise

indeed, dos!!

10:24 am

MLFAN17

une ohh

10:24 am

Scrabbler

I have seen tripod dogs when I hike, and they are happy, active dogs!

10:25 am

Uneaixoise

it's amazing, eh, scrabs? have never transported one that didn't seem perfectly happy and energetic :-)

10:25 am

MLFAN17

tr5?

10:25 am

doseffing

... oh well ... enough siilliness for one morning ... Monday's lesson plans don't get done if I keep looking for the second half of the words ... ... luck to all

10:25 am

MLFAN17

10:25 am

March on the Capitol?

11:42 am

Hoping I can sleep on the bus. I sure won't get much sleep the night before (concert in NYC the night before).

11:42 am

Hiyas, kiddos!

12:29 pm

origami

Hi Judi

12:34 pm

MollyL

As for DC, our area will be hosed for the next two weeks. First the Inauguration, then the women marching, then the pro-life people marching. Seems everyone wants to march here.

12:34 pm

MollyL

Judi...LOVE the icon. I can think of so many people it applies to.

12:37 pm

Judi

Thanks, Molls. It is most recently dedicated to my boss. The guy who scheduled and was supposed to co-host an all-hands meeting... then bailed out an hour before said meeting (no explanation given).

12:38 pm

Judi

The rest of us minions had to sit through two ours of meet & greet and "this is what I do for the City". Painful, since most of us have been working for the City for over 10 years.

12:39 pm

Judi

We all at least know each other by first name. It really was just a time suck.

12:43 pm

rururocks

your boss sounds like a jerk

12:43 pm

MollyL

I sometimes feel like the kid in The 6th Sense. I see douche bags everywhere. They don't even know they are douche bags.

12:43 pm

Judi

He can be a major PIA. Mostly I just try to avoid him.

12:43 pm

rururocks

i'm not friends with too many douche bags.. most of them are my enemas

12:44 pm

MollyL

Then there are the grumpy old bags, but that is another story entirely.

12:45 pm

Judi

*snort*

12:46 pm

MollyL

Getting a douche confused with an enema would be an awful thing indeed.

12:47 pm

rururocks

either or molly.. go with the flow

12:47 pm

MollyL

Sorry Ru, I should be more helpful.
: D

12:48 pm

1:02 pm

Judi

Geesh. Along with Enable, we need a periodic table cheat-sheet.

1:03 pm

cybernan

ty ru -- always thought that was such a strange description for gas --- because there is a scarcity maybe?

1:05 pm

Judi

It is emitted from a rare mineral - so the description says.

1:05 pm

rururocks

i remember trying to memorize the periodic table in school.. i never succeeded in that

1:06 pm

cybernan

we just need a pared down dictionary

1:06 pm

Judi

Yikes. What ever possessed you, Ru?

1:06 pm

origami

At one point I could recite the elements song. It is long gone now.

1:06 pm

rururocks

well judi.. i'm not sure

1:07 pm

Judi

Never knew there was an elements song. Can't say I missed learning that.

1:07 pm

rururocks

i did memorize hundreds of ocean critters in latin

1:07 pm

rururocks

who sings Lead in the elements song?

1:08 pm

cybernan

no latin, japanese, yiddish, weird colloquialisms, foreign currencys, scientifically specific terms, or latin body parts ought to do it

1:08 pm

rururocks

i'm far from being at atalante's level however

1:09 pm

Judi

Ladies and Gentlemen! Now coming to the stage..."Methane and the Pyrites"

1:10 pm

MollyL

I am still amazed at the nerd value of the fact that there is an Elements Song.

1:11 pm

rururocks

i'm sure there's a song for all kinds of memorizing school stuff

1:11 pm

Judi

There's probably a video on YouTube of some poor child singing that rubbish.

The best thing about big bang is it's theme song :-)

3:03 pm

... it's about season two or three ... McGee and Miss Shutto sing it for Gibbs ... he wasn't impressed

3:04 pm

how do you like the current ncis season?

3:05 pm

doseffing

... I must admit that I haven't watched it since Ziva's father died ... what's that season 7 or 8? ... though I did watch the episode when Tony left

3:07 pm

cybernan

I don't think it's as good as the earlier seasons -- don't care for the new characters as much. I think the stories are getting a little more improbable - almost like the writers are running out of ideas

3:08 pm

cybernan

Have you watched Bull?

3:09 pm
