6:55 am

rubyfoo

((Hello))

6:55 am

Anniebrook

hi ruby, I have been thinking about you

6:55 am

rubyfoo

Good thought, I hope

6:56 am

Anniebrook

Always, how are you?

6:56 am

rubyfoo

This has been a tough winter but it's above freezing today and the sun is shining

6:58 am

rubyfoo

The sun improvees my winter funk. How aree you and Bobby?

6:58 am

Anniebrook

always a good sign for a good day. quite cold here also. I am playing mah jongg today so that will keep me away from CNN MSNBC and FOX. So you see where I am spending my time fuming? Not healthy. Yesterday I sent a donation to the ACLU so that made me feel better.

6:59 am

Trifioso

good morning friends

6:59 am

rubyfoo

It's like watching a train wreck! It's hard to look away

6:59 am

Anniebrook

hi Trif :)

6:59 am

rubyfoo

Hello Trif

6:59 am

Anniebrook

right, ruby

7:00 am

Trifioso

well done annie! I heard they had an amazing weekend of donations

7:00 am

Anniebrook

someone at the door, a little early for that, bbs

7:01 am

rubyfoo

Do you know anybody who is happy with what's going on?

7:01 am

rubyfoo

Even the nonchalant French are worried

7:01 am

Trifioso

my dad, I guess. Dyed in the wool republican, drank the kool aid years ago. breaks my heart

7:02 am

Trifioso

as an educator, I am APPALLED at the DeVos nomination going through. Come ON people!!!! She couldn't get a second interview for a library helper

7:02 am

rubyfoo

It seems that many Republicans are criticizing Trumpfft

7:03 am

Trifioso

not enough, not the ones that matter (ie have a vote). John McCain is proving quite wonderful though

7:03 am

rubyfoo

I agree, she is ill-equiped to be in that post. As most of them are. Carson, really??

7:03 am

Trifioso

Bannon? Sessions? please

7:04 am

Anniebrook

Miller, ugh

7:04 am

Trifioso

my bigger fear is that he is going to get us all killed. He rarely attends security briefings, and has now pissed off half the middle east with this travel ban foolishness.

7:04 am

Anniebrook

again, I will be back soon

7:05 am

rubyfoo

If no war happens, I guess the worst legacy will be the Supreme Coiurt

7:09 am

Trifioso

that's the bell.....off to shape the future, lol

7:10 am

rubyfoo

Bon courage!

8:19 pm

sandyloo

I have done that about three times

8:20 pm

sandyloo

We are getting solar panels put up today so there is a lot of distraction here. but then we will have no more power bills!!

8:21 pm

Minveryork

Sandyloo,did you click on the link and then refresh after it opened up or did U just close it and click on the link again

8:21 pm

sandyloo

Which link Min?

8:21 pm

origami

Have you tried the likety link from the bottom of the babbe page (as opposed to from expert)?

8:22 pm

sandyloo

I have tried that link orig, but the words are miniscule (?) dont know why that is and i cant make them bigger. and min, I have closed and opened and refreshed....

8:24 pm

sandyloo

Oh well , I will just wait unitl the flip to see if the problem resolves itself

8:25 pm

8:31 pm

Oh, well. Hope it resolves itself.

8:31 pm

10:30 pm

Nef

Darn! I just missed Min!

10:31 pm

Nef

Good Evening everyone; how are you all doing tonight?

10:32 pm

sandyloo

hi nef

10:37 pm

Nef

Hi sandy. (I'm slow in answering because I just got a load of clothes out of the dryer. last load for today; 2 more loads for tomorrow though.

10:38 pm

sandyloo

We are having solar panels put on today, very exciting , now no more power bills

10:42 pm

Nef

I'd really love to do that; but we'd have to replace our shingles too (they are over 15 years old) and doing that plus the solar panels would be ridiculous if we only plan to live here for less than 5 more years)

10:44 pm

Nef

And, up here in Minnesota, even though our roof would be suitable (the south-facing roof has direst sun exposure for 6 1/2 hours/day) but we'd still have power bills

10:45 pm

sandyloo

power costs here , I think are high , our bills for eight weeks are between 600 and 800 - they range

10:46 pm

Nef

OUCH! (not sure how your money compares to ours, though)

10:47 pm

sandyloo

Our dollar is worth less than your dollar i think

10:47 pm

sandyloo

its really worth it for us with solar and we have lots of sunshine of course

10:48 pm

Nef

And we have long cold winters here too! :-)

10:49 pm

Nef

Then again, do you have insulation your walls & roof?

10:49 pm

origami

I live in a perfect climate for solar panels. Would probably generate more electricity than I could use during the spring, summer and fall. But the initial outlay would be too expensive for me.

10:49 pm

sandyloo

our winters are very mild i think compared to england and the us

10:50 pm

sandyloo

Orig, they have payment plans here that work out to less than the power bills you would otherwise be paying

10:50 pm

origami

Our winters are mild here also sandy. I live in a Mediterranean climate.

10:51 pm

sandyloo

I am not sure where Sacramento is

10:51 pm

origami

I should check it out. I a sure there are programs here also.

10:51 pm

Nef

herinfernallady says they don't have any insulation in her part of Australia. I can't imagine not having insulation for either the winter or summers here

10:52 pm

origami

Sacramento is in California's Central Valley. I live about 75 miles northeast of San Francisco. but we have a very different climate. much hotter and dryer.

10:53 pm

origami

The summers are hot, hot, hot here1

10:53 pm

Nef

origami, there are indeed programs for here in the US. We were quoted between $20 & 30 thousand for the solar panels & installation; but then the whole older shingles bit would put us well over $40,000

10:54 pm

origami

drier rather than dryer :-)

10:54 pm

sandyloo

Our summers can be very hot but it is milder here in Margaret River than in Perth -that is one of the reasons we moved here -I hate the heat

10:54 pm

origami

Too much moola for me Nef.

10:55 pm

sandyloo

Wow Nef, I dont think ours is anything like that

10:55 pm

origami

It is normally over 100 degrees F here in the summer.

10:56 pm

Nef

It was too much for us too. And it was a quote from just about 2 years ago.

10:58 pm

origami

I know some people who have built and installed their own solar panels and battery arrays. Beyond my ability.

11:00 pm

origami

Signing off folks. See ya'll soon. Happy babbing!

11:00 pm

sandyloo

When my daughter builds her house in the other paddock over the hill they are not going on the grid they are just putting solar batteries in from the start

11:01 pm

Nef

I've often though that maybe it would be fun to do ourselves; since I've seen smaller solar panels at Menards (which is sort of a hardware/lumber/handymans store)that a person could hook up for their RV's & such; but it would take more work than I could do myself these days.

11:02 pm

sandyloo

I would have no idea!!

11:02 pm

Nef

Niters, ori! Sleep well!

11:04 pm

sandyloo

nite ori

11:05 pm

Nef

Sometimes I just wish I was about 20 years younger (or didn't have arthritis); because I could get more done then & I wouldn't stop myself from doing something like hooking up my own solar panels

11:10 pm

sandyloo

the blokes here have been on the roof all day in the hot sun Nef, it is not that easy

11:11 pm

Nef

No, I know it isn't easy; & I know I couldn't do it in a day. Will they be done in 1 or 2 days?

11:12 pm

sandyloo

we will see maybe 1, they had to travel down from Perth that is 3 hours away so i guess they will try to finish today

11:13 pm

Nef

Oh my! That will be a trip for them! How many guys is it?

11:14 pm

sandyloo

2

11:15 pm

Nef

How big is your roof area? How many panels are being installed?

11:16 pm

sandyloo

196sq mts and 23 panels

11:17 pm

Nef

oh-oh I have to calculate that into American measurements

11:18 pm

Nef

How big are your panels?

11:18 pm

sandyloo

dont know but i do know they are the "rolls royce " of panels

11:19 pm

Nef

So 2077 sq ft (in US measurements)

11:19 pm

sandyloo

have to finish this grid, 12 left

11:19 pm

sandyloo

not sure Nef LOL I am no maths whiz

11:20 pm

Nef

okay, sandy (I'll stop interrupting you)

11:21 pm

sandyloo

LOL

11:26 pm

Marc Freeman

sh6/24 the second one please?

11:28 pm

Nef

I don't have it yet, Marc, but will look for it

11:29 pm

sandyloo

7

11:30 pm

Nef

GO, sandyloo!! You can do it!

11:30 pm

sandyloo

I have only just got a copy of lickety so i didnt think i would finish at all

11:37 pm

Nef

Marc, so far I'm finding only 1 sh 6/24 and it has to do with what are circles & squares.

11:39 pm

Nef

Earlier, some people were saying that there are a lot of Jewish words in this grid (not sure if that helps or not; It didn't help me 1 bit)

11:40 pm

sandyloo

2 left

11:42 pm

Nef

GO Sandy! You've got it made!

11:45 pm

sandyloo

yay at last it was so hard with my lickety not working - I am actually pathetic compared to the rest of you

11:46 pm

Nef

YAY, sandyloo!!! WTG!!!

11:47 pm

Marc Freeman

Sorry I had to step out. It is the other one.

11:48 pm

Nef

I still haven't found it though, Marc.

11:50 pm

sandyloo

ok Nef those panels are about 3ft by 5and a half feet they are starting to put them on the roof now

11:50 pm

ursh

sh6/24 is the plural of the sh5/14

11:51 pm

sandyloo

I will be back later happy babbling all

11:51 pm

ursh

sounds like a drunk posting a letter

11:54 pm

Nef

Thank You rush!

11:55 pm

Nef

ursh!

11:55 pm

Nef

And with that; I think I'll go to bed before I truly mess up!

11:57 pm

Marc Freeman

sorry it is sh6/33 that i need a clue for?
