12:30 am

12:31 am

mkg

12:31 am

helensgirlkid

12:32 am

12:32 am

12:32 am

helensgirlkid

SORRY - hope for something tasty in the penalty box!

12:37 am

ursh

i have the er8 - what is the other 8 ?

12:37 am

mkg

darn i cant find the er 8. darn. dont have other either ursh. sorry

12:37 am

hurshy

once upon a time, i thought a bit of dialogue written in a particular dialect as "forrader" was a corruption of farther (context being "he couldn't get any forrader with his courtship"). such a vivid memory when i had a flash of realization that it was actually "forwarder".

12:38 am

hurshy

er8 is the abstract noun describing the state of an er6 knave.

12:39 am

ursh

mkg there is an er6 - a chore - change the last cons and build on that for the 8

12:40 am

mkg

i have the er 6 it is about but not sure what to add on. ty.

12:40 am

chj

I'll make an attemt

12:40 am

hurshy

a p-less attemt?

12:41 am

mkg

er 6 and then the state so not sure what that means i guess.

12:41 am

chj

Don't tempt me

12:41 am

mkg

i got it. whew. ty.

12:41 am

ursh

change the last cons mkg for another er6

12:41 am

mkg

12:41 am

mkg

12:42 am

hurshy

phantom: safari

12:42 am

chj

An attempt empty of peas

12:43 am

hurshy

oh my, i just realized my clue was all wrong, too.

12:43 am

hurshy

it's the KNIGHT who's er6, the knave is AR6.

12:44 am

hurshy

i'm sure that is what kept people from understanding it.

12:44 am

chj

When I was in college, a milk shake was called a cabinet. In the neighboring state if was called a fr4pe

12:45 am

hurshy

OMB DID YOU GO TO COLLEGE IN RHODE ISLAND??

12:45 am

chj

Yes ma'am

12:45 am

hurshy

Roger Williams? Brown? RISD?

12:46 am

chj

In the middle

12:46 am

hurshy

of the state, or of my guesses?

12:46 am

chj

You left out Brant College

12:46 am

hurshy

i left out LOTS

12:46 am

chj

Guesses

12:46 am

hurshy

salve regina, providence college, URI, RIC

12:47 am

hurshy

but i did go to a yearbook conference thingy at Bryant

12:47 am

chj

Sorry, that's Bryant College

12:47 am

hurshy

my mom did her master's at Brown - when were you there?

12:47 am

chj

Class of '71

12:48 am

hurshy

just SLIGHTLY before her time then, she was at mount holyoke at that point

12:48 am

hurshy

for undergrad

12:49 am

hurshy

what was your major?

12:49 am

chj

When I was there, there was still a Pembroke

12:49 am

chj

Started as a Chem major then switched to Economics

12:50 am

hurshy

SHE DID HER MASTERS IN ECONOMICS!!!!

12:50 am

hurshy

you probably knew some of the same profs!!!!

12:50 am

chj

And there still parietals

12:51 am

hurshy

apropos of nothing, pembroke brown could be an apt name for a sibling to encyclopedia brown, boy detective

12:52 am

hurshy

i have a friend who is working on his PhD at Brown right NOW, too, but it's in like, Ancient Hebrew or something terribly useful like that.

12:52 am

chj

I took my first acid trip sitting a pile of leaves in a courtyard at Pembroke on a lovely autumn afternoon

12:52 am

hurshy

hmm, well, i wouldn't swear that my mom didn't try marijuana, but i'm pretty sure she wouldn't have tried acid.

12:53 am

chj

Well, those were the things one did in those days

12:53 am

hurshy

my siblings and i are probably exceptions in the world, as we would look down on her if we found out she had tried drugs, rather than having it make us think she was more cool.

12:54 am

hurshy

sorry, i just realized that was rude to say. fat marker syndrome.

12:55 am

chj

Then last time I got drunk was 1972 and the last time I smoke weed was 1975. Youthful dalliances

12:56 am

hurshy

well then, it's water under the technicolor bridge

12:56 am

hurshy

(we also look down on mom for having been a cheerleader in high school)

12:56 am

chj

Timothy Leary's Dead

12:57 am

chj

Oh, no, he's outside looking in

12:58 am

hurshy

*tiptoes away from the 'trip' down memory lane*

12:59 am

hurshy

well, i have babbled to my satisfaction for now, off to bed, laters

1:00 am

chj

I'm beginning to hallucinate. Time for bed.

Hi Ivesy. Haven't seen you in a while. How are things?

5:10 am

ivesy3

hi molly.. well jason is in group counseling,but still refuses to go to inhouse rehab.. he doesnt have money so he cant use.,as far as i know. they did start him back on his anti drepressants.. ty for asking.. i appreciate it

5:11 am

MollyL

I'm glad to hear there is some positive progress. It is so hard for a mother like you to go through this with a child. You both remain in my good thoughts and prayers.

5:13 am

ivesy3

i have to keep hoping that someday he will get clean and stay clean.. ty for the prayers, always needed

5:15 am

MollyL

Addiction is such an emotional drain on addicts and their loved ones. Sometimes hope is all you have to hang onto. Keep hanging on.

5:16 am

ivesy3

its a roller coaster..,but i will never give up.i know he is in there somewhere..

5:17 am

MollyL

He is lucky to have you.

5:17 am

ivesy3

and how are you.. we had spring like weather for a few day, now winter is back

5:18 am

MollyL

We had the same nice weather for a while but that cold front rolled through here yesterday too. Did some terrible wind damage in the southern part of the state.

5:20 am

ivesy3

was very windy here too..now its a balmy 27degrees and snowing...sigh..should be used to it after all these years

5:21 am

MollyL

Yes, I had the sandals and shorts out for a few days. Now its back to flannel and sweaters.

5:22 am

ivesy3

same here lol..we know enuf not to put ourwinter clothes away lol

5:22 am

sukee

Morning Molly and ivesy

5:23 am

ivesy3

mornin sukee

5:23 am

MollyL

Just the fact that it was nice enough to fire up the grill and barbecue in February was good for me. Hi Sukee.

5:24 am

sukee

February was a nice break, now back to winter. But spring training has already started :)

5:25 am

sukee

Mad today, went down to do the laundry and ONE person is using 10 machines...

5:25 am

ivesy3

oh, that would make me mad too!!

5:26 am

sukee

And about 4 of the dryers are not working so it'll take them more than an hour so I gave up. I will do some hand washing today...

5:26 am

MollyL

Ew, it kind of grosses me out that someone would let that much dirty laundry pile up.

5:27 am

sukee

I know, unless they do it for someone else.

5:27 am

sukee

It's usually empty at 5:30 AM...

5:29 am

sukee

I just use 2 machines at once

5:29 am

MollyL

Hand washing it tedious. It makes me appreciate the women who came before us who did all their laundry that way.

5:29 am

ivesy3

i like to get all my things done early..

5:29 am

sukee

For sure

5:30 am

MollyL

Me too Ivesy. I have a load of laundry in right now.
: )

5:31 am

ivesy3

on a mini vac from work,so am doing all the little annoying things that dont get done

5:32 am

MollyL

I also like to knock the grocery shopping out early. It keeps me out of the grocery store later in the day when the lost-looking mindless roam the stores, clueless as to what they need to buy.

5:33 am

ivesy3

me too! i go shopping around 6. people think i am crazy,but it is so worth it.no crowds

5:35 am

ivesy3

need some breakfast..hagd!!

5:35 am

sukee

Take care

5:41 am

sukee

time for my breakfast too, stay warm.

5:46 am

MollyL

I thought I saw you over there, peering out from the bushes. Hi Ruby.

5:47 am

rubyfoo

Hi Molly, we, too, had a coupleof warmish days, but it's back to winter

5:49 am

MollyL

It was nice to have a few days of "warm weather laundry". So much easier to manage than the bulky things you have to launder in winter.

5:50 am

rubyfoo

i do a little at a time every day. I never let it accumulate as I'm always afraid there'll be an earwig underneath

5:51 am

rubyfoo

or a jumping black spider

5:51 am

MollyL

I don't care what Enable says. One who fa4s is a fa4er. And if your dogs have been fa4ing in the room, it smells fa4y in there.

5:52 am

rubyfoo

Sometimes, when I pet Rufie at night, he blesses me with one big one, but I guess my petting helps his digestion LOL

5:52 am

MollyL

Ew, earwigs. That always makes me think of The Twilight Zone episode about the earwig and how it eats its way through the guys head and then the guy finds out it laid eggs. Ack!

5:53 am

rubyfoo

I always thaought that was an old wives' tale. Ack is right!

5:54 am

9:30 am

JBsAnno

Hello, Molly. Not too good.. Keeps fainting and feeling very weak at the moment.

9:37 am

bichon

Hi folks

9:37 am

Scrabbler

Arf, arf, bichon.

9:39 am

bichon

hop hop to you Scrabs

9:42 am

MollyL

Sorry to hear that Zoom. I will keep him, and you, in my good thoughts and prayers.

9:47 am

zoozzoom

Thank you. Appreciated.

9:52 am

rururocks

fainting from what zooz?

9:53 am

rururocks

vertigo?

9:55 am

zoozzoom

Low blood pressure, Ruru.

9:55 am

rururocks

oh.

9:55 am

bichon

can the doctor give him something for that

9:56 am

zoozzoom

He normally has to take tablet as he has high blood pressure.

9:56 am

zoozzoom

But he has a lot going on medically and it is not a good picture at the moment.

9:56 am

rururocks

i'm sorry zooz

9:56 am

bichon

So the medicine is working toowell

9:57 am

zoozzoom

I think it is more complicated for some reason, Bichon.

9:57 am

Scrabbler

That is very stressful, zooz.

9:57 am

zoozzoom

He has just an MRI and we need to go back to discuss the best way forward.

9:58 am

zoozzoom

Doctor thinks he as advanced C

9:58 am

bichon

cancer?

9:58 am

Scrabbler

Oh, my. Is your father elderly?

9:58 am

zoozzoom

Prostate yes. Just to add to the worries, Bichon.

9:59 am

zoozzoom

Well he is over 80 young, Scrabs.

10:01 am

Scrabbler

It is very difficult when someone has multiple medical problems.

10:04 am

zoozzoom

It is, Scrabs as he is very stubborn and refuses most help. Very stressful for everyone else too. My mother is besides herself bless her.

10:05 am

bichon

I feel for you and your family. At least my parents wanted help

10:05 am

rururocks

<--i'm going to be stubborn too

10:06 am

bichon

My Mom was in Assisted living for her last few years

10:07 am

Scrabbler

My mother will be 86 in June and is very stubborn. She does not want anyone coming into the house, e.g. a visiting nurse, or a physiotherapist. And it is tough to get her out to doctor's appts.

10:09 am

rururocks

stubborn can be good .. shows a lot of spirit doesn't it?

10:10 am

Scrabbler

She is a tough old Italian lady. Her mother and sister lived until 90 and her brother until 92.

10:10 am

bichon

Mom used to think that the workers at the Assisted Living were stealing fromher

10:12 am

Scrabbler

My mother would be like that.

10:13 am

bichon

Mom was obsessed with the thought of people stealing from her

10:15 am

Scrabbler

I am stuck with this grid and need 97 words. How can that many words be hiding from me?

10:15 am

bichon

I'm down to 11 and I can't believe they are in thisgrid

10:17 am

rururocks

down to seven.. but not finding much

10:18 am

Scrabbler

OK, I shall forge on.

10:29 am

Scrabbler

10:44 am

hurshy

you kin do it scrabbler!

10:45 am

Scrabbler

Hi hurshy! There are 85 words hiding from me. Where ARE they?

10:45 am

hurshy

well idk but only 34 hiding from me so i know you can find some of them :)

10:45 am

Scrabbler

I need to focus and concentrate.

10:46 am

hurshy

one thing is to go through you list and check for anything you might put an ending on. since there are Ts and Rs scattered about, something you didn't think you could make a plural of, maybe you can if you went to the left

10:48 am

Scrabbler

Good ideas.

10:49 am

MollyL

Oh, we need a Hurshy's Way To Solve The Grid board.
: D

10:50 am

hurshy

10:50 am

rururocks

we could call it the Hurshy Highway

10:50 am

Deeha

10:51 am

hurshy

10:52 am

rururocks

i'm not as fast at this as you are hursh.. not by a mile

10:53 am

hurshy

but i feel like if we both start at the flip you finish before i do, don't you?

10:53 am

hurshy

am i imagining babble memories now?

10:53 am

Deeha

I am very slow and usually need a lot of listing help

10:53 am

hurshy

sorry deeha, i meant VolleymomDee :)

10:54 am

hurshy

10:55 am

hurshy

10:56 am

rururocks

10:57 am
