Hello to all.
7:53 am

Hi Judi, Scrabs
7:54 am
Scrabbler
My sister is driving here from NJ and we will hike and kayak for 6 days. AND the weather forecast is great. Yay!
7:56 am
bichon
Yeah! We're going to have a heat wave starting Sunday
7:57 am
Judi
And the A/C is out in my section of the office!
7:57 am
Scrabbler
Yes, temps into the mid-80s.
7:57 am
Scrabbler
Oh, no, Judi.
7:57 am
bichon
Ugh, couldn't concentrate
7:58 am
Judi
Scheduled to be fixed the first part of the week. I guess Monday will be wear my bikini to work day. (That would be a horror show).
7:59 am

Don't have one. Belly too big
7:59 am
Scrabbler
Are fans available?
8:00 am
Judi
Yes, Scrabbs. I've already told them, they don't a menopausal woman getting over-heated. The hot flashes are bad enough.

Hi Eva and Baby K.
8:03 am
EvaNadine
whats up, Doc? ;)
8:05 am
Scrabbler
Appliance repairman just left after "fixing" my fridge. The noise was coming from the ice maker which had accidentally been switched on, probably when I packed things into the freezer.
8:06 am
Judi
So, there really wasn't a problem with your fridge?
8:07 am
Scrabbler
No, haha. And the noise from my clothes washer was undetermined. He said to leave things alone because the machine is 33 years old and works fine.
8:07 am
Judi
Well, there was money well spent. Pffth.
8:08 am
Scrabbler
$75 total.
8:09 am
Scrabbler
Appliances, cars, teeth, computer, body..when things go wrong it is bad and expensive.
8:09 am
Judi
Easiest job that guy will have all day. Perhaps it's time ti invest in a new washer, though.
8:10 am
Scrabbler
It's working fine and squeaks during spin-down only, so I am keeping it.

EvaNadine
i think sometimes the newer players have different enough personalities that sometimes the older players decide to move elsewhere so as not to create waves
9:46 am
Judi
Do9/66, De9/72.
9:46 am
periwinkle
ah, I do not play that. I started playing serpentine which is challenging since it is fast. also the game keeps score and there are diffent colors for different rankings.

9:47 am

I was wondering if it was a good word game.

10:01 am
Judi
DE9 starts at first D in 2nd row.
10:03 am
fuzzybunny
Just came back from quote puzzler, tough game! Similar to an anacrostic, but without the clues.
10:03 am
Scrabbler
There are 10 individual word games on QP each day, and each game requires a special skill.
10:04 am
MLFAN17
a special skill?
10:04 am
Scrabbler
Each game challenges your brain differently.
10:05 am
fuzzybunny
Ah, I only checked out the quote puzzle, need to go back and look at the others. Thanks, Scrabbler.
10:05 am
Scrabbler
And I finally passed halfway so I am done. I need to clean the house for my sister's arrival in 4 hrs.

I noticed earlier that RuRu was flying a Greek flag. I know that this is a Babble lull time, but If I don't catch up with him in person, could anybody reading this tell him that I hope he is loving Greece as much as I do!! Ta!

4:58 pm
Bugsaw
My father was pretty funny toward the end of his life. He worried that "at this rate I will only have enough money to last until I am 105!" I had to break it to him that there was an alternative to poverty... He could move in with my sister.
4:59 pm
zoozzoom
Fi + most of the head bug + ends in the word for when people take their own lives (Sadly)
4:59 pm
Soodle
Bugs!!!! I'm off to Morocco (Morocco!!! How exotic is that???) with elder daughter next month. I am beside myself!
4:59 pm
Bugsaw
He was soothed and she was shocked but we all knew it wouldn't happen.
4:59 pm
Bugsaw
I do hope you both stay safe and have the most wonderful adventure in Morocco.
5:01 pm

The Fi 8 actually means to a person who kills his or her son or daughter. Nasty.
5:03 pm

5:04 pm
Soodle
Thats so relevant to me & my siblings right now!! My parents outgoings are exceeding their income by about €2,000 per month. Their account was dwindling alarmingly & we were all pretty worried. Right until my brother discovered another account with in excess of €100,000 in it!! Sheesh! They can live comfortably for another decade or so!!! :-)
5:04 pm
NANCY
it is fi 7-40
5:05 pm

5:07 pm
NANCY

5:07 pm
Bugsaw
I am glad you are relieved off that financial concern Soodle. The best thing my father did was save enough so we could get them the best care and all of us could feel comfortable.
5:07 pm
zoozzoom
Would love to find an account in my name with a large amount of money in it, Soodle!
5:09 pm
zoozzoom
