ursh

1:37 am

sprite

sorry, my chat went all redboxy. Hiya ru!

Hiya ursh

1:37 am

sprite

yeah, one of them is, ru

1:37 am

rururocks

or maybe catholics that want to stem the tide of sinning like GR?

1:38 am

grannyrose

moi?? sin?? never.

1:38 am

sprite

it is the one that you need to pray when you have sinned very badly... bloody fingers and all ;)

1:38 am

rururocks

*coughs*

1:39 am

rururocks

I'm thankful I never had to go to a confessional

1:39 am

grannyrose

nasty cough you have ruru. *hands over butter menthol lozenges*

1:39 am

rururocks

Father to Ru: What brings you here son Ru: How much time do you have ?

1:39 am

sprite

me neither. I think it is only sinning when you are consciously doing something bad... I always look the other way when I do it...

1:40 am

sprite

lol ru!

1:40 am

grannyrose

sprite... i don't need the walking stick at the mo'. no hip pain, no back pain. sleeping well, although still having some pretty ugly dreams.

1:40 am

sprite

*skips a few steps and simply brushes out ru's mouth with green soap*

1:41 am

sprite

*sending regulating and soothing vibes to ro4's dreams* The rest is great news, honey!

1:43 am

rururocks

1:43 am

grannyrose

soooo.... it looks very much like mid-May. can you hang on for that long??

1:44 am

grannyrose

*innocent fluttering of eyelids* and your point ruru?

1:45 am

sprite

hehehe ru, let the record show I am a great judge of sins...

1:45 am

1:53 am

grannyrose

1:53 am

sprite

*sidenote: finding that 3rd D was a lady dog*

1:53 am

sprite

wow ro4, that is not bad at all. Amazing.

1:54 am

1:54 am

sprite

1:55 am

sprite

1:55 am

rururocks

I have good karma

1:55 am

grannyrose

1:55 am

sprite

yeah, for you it is the dh one that is the problem :P

1:56 am

sprite

ro4, lol, ikr?

1:56 am

rururocks

well. you can't have them all

1:56 am

sprite

no, there is only so much sin you can pack into one life

1:59 am

grannyrose

Hello. It's a regular heat wave, actually almost 30F!

5:20 am

sukee

Hi Ruby.

5:20 am

SamanthaJoy

I have ma, qu, and ro 9; does anyone have the fourth?

5:20 am

rubyfoo

Hi Sukee. How are you feeling?

5:20 am

SamanthaJoy

8 I mean.

5:21 am

sukee

I'm doing great, all better now.

5:21 am

rubyfoo

Yay!

5:21 am

sukee

Sorry, I don't have any 8s yet

5:21 am

sukee

A dose of antibiotics did it.

5:23 am

rubyfoo

I only have the qu and the ma

5:23 am

sukee

Have to run for a sec, have to put laundry in the dryer.

5:25 am

rubyfoo

"walk, don't run!"

5:26 am

MollyL

There are 2 ma8

5:28 am

rubyfoo

Hello Molly

5:28 am

MollyL

Hi Ruby

5:30 am

SamanthaJoy

Thanks Molly. Got it.

5:31 am

rubyfoo

No idea, clueless as usual

5:33 am

sukee

I am back :)

5:34 am

sukee

Found the MA 8, it is a continuation from the ma 5 and 7

5:36 am

rubyfoo

but wh** is the other one?

5:36 am

sukee

one of the MAs

5:36 am

rubyfoo

I think Molly was teasing

5:37 am

rubyfoo

reis

5:37 am

rubyfoo

sorry

5:37 am

SamanthaJoy

No. It's a similar word to the MA you've found. It's an older, alternate spelling; try turning MA5 into MA6 with a vowel in the middle

5:37 am

sukee

Ty ruby :)

5:39 am

rubyfoo

<-- total blank

5:40 am

SamanthaJoy

The MA6 comes out to a word that looks something like "like a female horse" and the other MA8 is a pl of that word

5:40 am

SamanthaJoy

The MA6 is exactly like the MA5 except there's an extra vowel in the middle

5:42 am

rubyfoo

ty samanthas. It only took 45 stabs

5:42 am

SamanthaJoy

I'm glad you found it. It's a new one to me too.

5:42 am

sukee

Still trying :)

5:45 am

rubyfoo

see you later, kids

5:46 am

SamanthaJoy

g'night

5:52 am

sukee

And finally got it :)

5:52 am

SamanthaJoy

WH00000!

5:54 am

sukee

I actually already had the 6 :)

5:54 am

sukee

It's early, that is my excuse.

5:56 am

SamanthaJoy

Ha!

I don't understand why we don't have a nine, using the same logic pattern that got us the eight.

6:00 am

MollyL

I think the other ma8 sounds like ma + how you would say not poor plural, if you are drunk
: D

6:03 am

SamanthaJoy

OH GOD I WAS HAVING SUCH A GOOD MORNING WHY DID I HAVE TO LOOK AT THE NEWS

6:04 am

sukee

I avoided Facebook and the news this morning.

6:04 am

SamanthaJoy

YOU ARE WISE BEYOND MEASURE.

I . . . am not.

6:05 am

sukee

A certain person has been making me mad every day so I plan to avoid him today completely if I can.

6:06 am

SamanthaJoy

So very understood.

The thing I just got mad about isn't national, it's local. The Texas legislature is in session and they're threatening to throw our county sheriff and city council in jail

6:06 am

sukee

It's getting crazy in your country...

6:07 am

SamanthaJoy

It's getting truly evil, is what it's getting.

6:08 am

sukee

Awful.

6:10 am

MollyL

I read that California wants to secede from The Union. What? Will they then be a little Nation unto themselves?

6:10 am

sukee

But hasn

6:10 am

sukee

But hasn't Texas been saying they want to secede for years?

6:10 am

SamanthaJoy

Not gonna happen. That was cause another civil war. States aren't allowed to secede; we settled that the the nineteenth century.

6:18 am

sukee

Finally got the Ws

6:19 am

SamanthaJoy

Fireworks!

Anyone want clues? But there are some of these that are gonna be awful with or without clues, I warn you. :)

6:19 am

sukee

I'm okay for now, I just listed.

6:19 am

sukee

And wtg.

6:20 am

sukee

And just got the Qs

6:20 am

SamanthaJoy

I had a minor mental breakdown over the SE7.

Good night!

6:25 am

MollyL

Oh don't you know that you have to be fluent in alias birds, mammals, rodents, and currencies of foreign countries to play this game?
: D

jmcnrick

hi all

8:44 am

welki

morning, jmc, everyone

8:44 am

jmcnrick

hiya welki longtime no see. . . entirely my fault

8:45 am

welki

nah, i've not been around much lately either, but good to 'see' you here :)

8:46 am

jmcnrick

so whacha been up to?

8:47 am

welki

work work work play work work work

8:49 am

jmcnrick

hmmm I detect an imbalance

8:49 am

welki

structure on serving default days is changing in a couple of months, so busy preparing for the transition - it's a horrible thing for the indigent (they'll no longer be able to bank their default days and do time in winter - yes, better for gov't, but oh so bad for the homeless)

8:49 am

jmcnrick

default days?

8:49 am

jmcnrick

i get the gist but not familiar with the term

8:50 am

jmcnrick

stats for the top left E please for nbt

8:50 am

welki

if you plead guilty to a certain offence, you have three options - pay, do community service in exchange for the fine or serve the time (which you might end up doing if you don't pay the fine = default days)

8:51 am

welki

ed 4/6

8:51 am

jmcnrick

ah and you can choose when to serve the time?

8:51 am

welki

generally, yes - but this will change for most offences in march or april

8:52 am

jmcnrick

bummer

8:52 am

jmcnrick

ty nbt

8:53 am

welki

by changing the format, people will no longer be allowed to work the fines off, either - and it's a VERY popular program. instead, these fines will be attached to registry services - pay or you can't renew your driver's license (and get other services)

8:53 am

jmcnrick

must toddle off to Meeting. . . nice to see you even briefly .. .

8:53 am

jmcnrick

oh that really sucks welki

8:53 am

jmcnrick

why oh why is canada being so retro . . .

8:54 am

welki

someone stuck in a cycle of poverty will be denied certain services if they can't pay their fines. it does suck, big time. and i canvassed so many agencies, legislators --- no dice

8:54 am

jmcnrick

I get that there must be consequences but . . .

8:54 am

welki

anyway, i know you have to go - talk later and, again, nice to see you again

8:55 am

jmcnrick

kisses and love. . . in my grumpy way

8:55 am

11:05 am

rururocks

11:06 am

MLFAN17

grouper? no thanks

11:06 am

rururocks

I don't see where you have a choice in this interaction

11:07 am

MLFAN17

we all have choices ruru

11:08 am

MLFAN17

i want cod or a salmon patty if i am the on getting slapped with something fishy lol

11:09 am

rururocks

hey.. if one misses obvious words around here they can get smacked with fish and the slapee has little choice of the species of the fish that the slapper chooses

11:10 am

rururocks

salmon patties would me too messy and then judi would have to clean up

11:10 am

MLFAN17

ruru nope i want a specific fish or something else less smelly thank you lol

11:11 am

hego

I like the new rule!

11:11 am

Judi

*dips into the tank for a lobster*

11:11 am

11:11 am

rururocks

oh lol judi

11:11 am

MLFAN17

judi it will get u first lol

11:12 am

Judi

Not a fish, but more likely to withstand being used as a weapon.

11:13 am

MLFAN17

lobsters are scary that's for sure

11:13 am

Judi

Yet, so delicious.

11:14 am

rururocks

dodging lobsters can be somewhat bisque

11:14 am

origami

as long as we're not using piranha

11:15 am

hego

lol

11:15 am

rururocks

piranha on their own are fairly docile fish..

11:15 am

rururocks

it's just when they are in groups like trump supporters they get more dangerous :D

11:15 am

origami

they're like adolescents ... OK one-on-one, but get them in a group and you better watch out

11:16 am

hego

I'll take the piranha, thanks

11:17 am

origami

Me too Hego :-D

11:17 am

Oh please, spare me.

11:19 am

just when I thought things couldn't get more frightening

11:19 am

hego

right!

11:20 am

We could fill the Rio Grande with piranha. That would save some money on The Wall.

11:20 am

Dang! Too bad!

Damn picky piranha.

11:25 am

MollyL

How did we get from fish slapping (such an ancient Babbble thing) to Trump supporters? This chat moves in mysterious ways.

11:26 am

rururocks

well.. it got diverted to odd humor molly

11:27 am

MollyL

Oh sorry, I missed that. I thought humor was not involved here. My mistake.

11:28 am

hego

There's no humor inthis grid, for sure.

11:29 am

Judi

Well, if something is not humorous here, by God, we'll beat it into something funny.

11:29 am

hego

And Judi is good at that too.

11:30 am

Judi

:-) *walking softly and carrying a funny schtick*

11:30 am

rururocks

imagine me with odd humor.. just to begin with

11:30 am

MollyL

I find humor here on occasion. Others seem to either miss it or complain about it. Such is life.

11:31 am

hego

11:31 am

impossible, ru :D

11:31 am

11:43 am

so.. i'm cooking dinner for 10 people next week hego.. two are vegetarians one is gluten free and another lactose intolerant. I am going to have to make a ton of different stuff to cover all the bases

11:43 am

hego

Not envying you. I would take them all out to dinner.

11:44 am

hego

Or schedule them on different nights.

11:44 am

rururocks

hah.. that'd be easier for sure.. but I like the challenge

11:44 am

hi all. help with corner E and the E under the H pls

It has become almost impossible to cook for people and all their "intolerant" dietary needs.

11:48 am

rururocks

yeah.. if I was cooking in ruwanda.. there wouldn't be any issues

11:49 am

rururocks

found my last h.. a stupid latinized word

11:49 am

MollyL

I think a "bring your own, whatever you can eat" party would work better.

11:49 am

hego

Good work, Ru. Break time!

11:50 am

periwinkle

like a pot luck, Molly

11:50 am

periwinkle

I am curious as to what you will be serving ruru and the choice of wine

11:50 am

MollyL

Pot luck for the dietary restricted. It is a lot to ask to have someone cook for various dietary choices.

11:51 am

periwinkle

it is

11:51 am

periwinkle

when I go to my sisters. I eat what I can/want

11:51 am

periwinkle

sometimes I bring my own entree

11:51 am

periwinkle

but ruru likes a challenge

11:52 am

MollyL

You are a gracious guest Peri. Many people are not like that, unfortunately.

11:52 am

rururocks

I'm going to do tenderloins of beef with a shitake reduction sauce and crab salads for the meat eaters, and roasted balsamic vegetables for the veggie, and raspberry crÃ¨me brulees for dessert and fresh fruit for the lactose one

11:52 am

rururocks

the wines are going to be off the hook great stuff.. I have people to impress :D

11:53 am

MollyL

You are amazing Ru. I don't have the time or the money to cook like that for such a varied group of people with dietary choice challenges.

11:54 am

periwinkle

me either Molly

11:54 am

periwinkle

when is this dinner

11:54 am

MollyL

Oh, this is an "impress the new girlfriend" dinner. I see.

11:54 am

rururocks

it's at my new girlfriend's Friend's house.. I have signed up to do it.. I want her to see that I know how to cook

11:54 am

rururocks

next saturday

11:54 am

periwinkle

does she cooki?

11:55 am

rururocks

I don't care if she cooks or not :D

11:55 am

periwinkle

ok

11:55 am

periwinkle

bbl

11:56 am

rururocks

I cooked for 30 years almost every day in my marriage

11:56 am

MollyL

I spent a lot of years trying to impress people. I am so glad I don't invest in that anymore. Not to say that others should not. It is just not a choice I make anymore.

11:57 am

rururocks

I actually love to cook for people.. that's the first part.. i'm just wanting her to see another side of me I guess ..that's all

11:59 am

origami

I love to cook for others also. When we camp in the desert every Spring I go all out - and it ain't easy. Everyone wants me to be the designated cook.

11:59 am

rururocks

oh.. we have that in common ori. I love the desert too

11:59 am

rururocks

especially death valley

12:01 pm

origami

Yes, love death valley. I am a rock hound and there are great rocks there :D

12:05 pm

MollyL

I love to cook for people too. I cook a lot. And bake a lot. I would just find it tedious to have to divide all that into dietary preference. I'm sure your meal will be a masterpiece, Ru.

12:05 pm

rururocks

it is really one of the most beautiful places on earth ori in a zen like way

12:06 pm

rururocks

i bet anything you're a great cook molly.. to be honest I was hoping for a smaller group and a simpler meal plan.. but i'm looking forward to putting out a lot of food and knocking it out of the park

12:07 pm

MollyL

I find a lot of good rocks on my walks around my regular old neighborhood of Earth. I have a little cairn (rock pile) of the rocks I pick up on those walks.

12:07 pm

MollyL

I hope it is a home run, Ru.

12:08 pm

rururocks

thanks.. i'll send you a report

12:10 pm

rururocks

i could do most of this dinner in my sleep.. but the vegetarian and gluten thing changed it up and made it more challenging

1:00 pm

hey there ruru - 24 hours in and we are still speaking, so I am giving it a thumbs up, lol

1:00 pm

Trifioso

so far it's like an ordinary weekend - when he is still here in a week is when it will hit me

1:01 pm

rururocks

big changes trif..

1:01 pm

rururocks

it is great the kids are ok with it.. that's a big hurdle sometimes

1:01 pm

Trifioso

indeed, but nice so far. I was able to empty the downstairs den, which is now his office/man cave, and serving as a staging area for moving. It's been a godsend. It's easier to unpack a box at a time this way

1:02 pm

Trifioso

to be fair, ruru, two of my three kids are no longer here full time, so that helps. And tertiare LOVES him.

1:04 pm

cybernan

need a break before hunting the last 6 impossible words

1:04 pm

Trifioso

we are taking it day by day, and trying to be realistic without sucking all the fun out of it. He is out now, having a drive around to find things he will need going forward - dry cleaner, barber, etc.

1:04 pm

Trifioso

you can do it cyber!!!

1:04 pm

and most likely improbable words

1:05 pm

hi trif :-)

Trifioso

I'm just happy the c is no where near a w today - I stink at the welsh words

1:06 pm

rururocks

that is really sensible thinking

1:07 pm

Trifioso

I mean, come on - there is going to come a day when we are both jerks, tired, cross, whatever. and we will both be miserable and SURE we have made a terrible mistake. That stuff happens. To me, the key is how you handle that day.

1:07 pm

Trifioso

luckily it's a big house. we can get away from each other

1:09 pm

rururocks

all good.

1:10 pm

I invited my new girlfriend to join me on vacation.. but it might be too early for that. I asked her to consider it.. it's six months away..

1:10 pm

Trifioso

I have found traveling with ANY one is a great way to see their true colors

Hi Nef

4:36 pm

Minveryork

Oh great! Seems like it was being stubborn by not leaving.

4:37 pm

Nef

I'm doing okay, Min; how about you?

4:37 pm

Minveryork

I am hanging in there. Gave up on the grid with 178 words

4:37 pm

Nef

Hi, ori. Glad to see that your cold is getting better.

4:37 pm

moolingwa

cool min, coincidentally I got a 750 piece buttefly puzzle out today

4:38 pm

Minveryork

I love butterflies! That must be a beautiful colorful puzzle.

4:39 pm

origami

Thanks nef. I am ready to see it go :-D

4:39 pm

moolingwa

yeah, my five year old daughter was getting frustrated unfortunately, and then friends of hers came over, so had to put it away

4:39 pm

Minveryork

When you finish the puzzle, you should take a picture of it and post it as your icon. I would love to see it moolingwa.

4:39 pm

moolingwa

will try and do it once floor is clear again :)

4:41 pm

Minveryork

There is room for U to do it in the penalty box moolingwa.

4:41 pm

Nef

Kids have a tendency to make sure a house looks "lived in," don't they? :-)

4:41 pm

moolingwa

funny, we were playing floor hockey...no penalties called tho

4:42 pm

MollyL

Min, sending you good vibes. I know you are going through some rough stuff.

4:45 pm

Minveryork

Thanks a lot MollyL.I decided to file for separation instead of divorce now so he can keep my health insurance. SInce he is sick now, he really needs insurance more than ever.

4:51 pm

MollyL

Just make sure you keep your best interests in mind, Min. It is time for you to start having a happier life.

4:56 pm

Minveryork

I think once we are not actually living together anymore, I will be a lot happier even with the separation.Being under the same roof with him is hard,but try to keep it peaceful.

4:58 pm

MollyL

Min, I wish you a happier life than the one you have had in this relationship. You deserve someone who can make you as happy as you make other people. Keep that in mind.

5:02 pm

Minveryork

I am not looking for anybody else to make me happy right now. I think I need to make myself happy 1st.I am looking forward to being single again. It has been quite awhile.

5:04 pm

Minveryork

I believe there is something to be said for being single.I do know now that marriage is not all it is cracked up to be.I'll be happy if I am single for the rest of my life, actually.

5:06 pm

Minveryork

I don't want to sound too cynical. I know there are a lot of people who ARE happily married & I think it is great that it still works for those people. It is just not in the cards 4 me

5:08 pm

rururocks

marriage only works permanently if people don't change and if you grow together with similar goals and interests. I felt like you did min.. but now I don't .. I'm ready to try it again, but this time I need to chose better

5:09 pm

Minveryork

Hello rururocks!How are you doing today? Welcome to grid

5:09 pm

Nef

Min, it's easy to say that when you are going through tough times; but don't close the door on that forever.
First you need to get through this; then heal; then see how you feel about yourself & life again.

5:09 pm

rururocks

she should also look into why she chose him and be sure to not make the same mistake again as women often do

5:10 pm

rururocks

well for that matter men do the same thing too

5:10 pm

moolingwa

Was going to say :)

5:10 pm

rururocks

beat ya to it mool

5:11 pm

Nef

Hi ru; People are always changing,ru; it's just that you need to decide to keep the communication open and change together.

5:11 pm

Nef

(We'

5:11 pm

rururocks

that's what I meant really nef.. that change is ok.. as long as you are both changing in similar directions and interests

5:11 pm

Nef

We've been married for 43 years now.)

5:12 pm

Nef

Yes. That is very true.

5:12 pm

rururocks

my ex and I grew apart as we wanted much different things in life now. and it was no longer any fun or nor did it feel like we were sharing in things

5:12 pm

Minveryork

My younger sister is divorced. She had it worse because her husband left her after 4 months of marriage.It was a complete shock to her. Now she is happily remarried with two wonderful children. I'm so happy for her now.

5:13 pm

rururocks

it's good to take a break and regroup minver no matter what.. but I agree with Molly that you deserve better and there are good men out there

5:13 pm

Nef

4 months? Wow; they never even had a chance at getting to know each other then!

5:14 pm

rururocks

i took three years to decide what to do after my separation and divorce.. but that's what I needed

5:14 pm

Nef

And you know that I'm also in agreement with Molly & ru that you deserve better.

5:15 pm

moolingwa

these last 6 are stubborn

5:16 pm

rururocks

gotta run.. hugs to minver.. have fun everyone

5:16 pm

Nef

My best friend was married for 30 + years & then they got divorced (he got really weird); she waited 8 years & is now very happily married to the nicest guy.

5:17 pm

rururocks

ah... in my case I was married 30 years, but spent 10 trying to keep it together

5:18 pm

rururocks

I would have been better off to restart 13 -14 years ago

5:18 pm

MollyL

Min, I agree with Ru. Take some time after this relationship is over and re-evaluate your choices. I hope you find someone else who be as good to you as you are to them.

5:18 pm

Nef

That's tough if only 1 person is trying to keep things together

5:18 pm

Minveryork

My sister and her ex had been together for quite a few years prior to getting married.They dated in HS & then stayed together throughout college, even though they went to different colleges.Then they got married after college.He ended up having some mental health issues

5:19 pm

rururocks

did she marry Donald Trump or something Min?

5:19 pm

MollyL

A lot of people stay in marriages long after there is anything satisfying for healthy in it for them.

5:20 pm

rururocks

sadly that's true for me.. I didn't know better

5:20 pm

MollyL

*satisfying OR healthy

5:20 pm

periwinkle

very true Molly

5:21 pm

MollyL

And Ru, not everything in life boils down to a Trump reference.

It is amusing how the political sway of this chat goes. Previously, if anyone said anything bad about Saint Obama, there was an uproar.

My friend's ex had a drinking problem at the end. He was a good friend of my husbands' & started to think that I hated him; and his brother (an alcoholic) killed his father & tried to kill his mother & chose "suicide by cop." Then my friends ex really had severe mental health issues from then on.

5:25 pm

Minveryork

Bye rururocks!Thank you for the laugh.Hope to see U soon

5:25 pm
