as much fun as you can have at a shower, anyway....I find it hard not to yell "WHYYYYYY"
7:33 am
MollyL
Or say something like "When you are older and wiser you will laugh about things like this"
7:34 am
Trifioso
god almighty, I went to one where the oh-so-clever friend gave a spice rack, and wrapped each and every spice separately. Sitting there, watching her unwrap each one, and listening to the ooohs and ahhhs over "paprika!" "oh, I use that on potatoes!" "she will find that one SO useful!" made me want to put a fork in my temple.
7:35 am
Trifioso
I wish for you a shower free of ever-so-clever friends, luv!
7:36 am
mattygroves
Does anyone have stats for the lone E in the middle column?

7:37 am
mattygroves
That's the one, thanks!
7:37 am
mattygroves
Thankfully, baby and bridal showers aren't (yet) so much a thing here
7:47 am
MollyL
What? No parties for the mother to be where someone makes a decoration cake out of diapers? 'Tis a shame.
: D
7:48 am
mattygroves
Yeah, tragic. Do people actually DO that?!
7:48 am
MollyL
Oh, that and worse.
7:50 am
mattygroves
Oh, lordy. Again, glad I'm here! And past childbearing age...
7:50 am
mattygroves
Here it's kind of considered bad look to give baby presents before the baby is actually born
7:53 am
MollyL
That sounds like it comes from Pagan/Celtic origins.
7:53 am
mattygroves
That, and also, I suspect, from back in the day when a healthy birth wasn't as likely as it is now
7:55 am
MLFAN17
clue for the ur 5 pls?
7:55 am
MollyL
There I go again. No harm, no foul.
7:59 am

mattygroves
Thanks - I'm looking
8:04 am
mattygroves
I think the UR is another one of those to do with pee
8:05 am
MLFAN17
wouldn't that have an I in it?
8:05 am
MollyL
If you know of the herbal plant, black co6, used to treat menopause, the co 8 is the plural of that.
8:05 am
mattygroves
It has an i (eye). No L though
8:06 am
MollyL
ur6 is the acid in pee

I live in Deal where 30 years ago the IRA bombed the Marine music school and killed several young bandsmen. Every year the Marines come back and do a concert in the Memorial Bandstand.Deal is only a small town but 10,000 people always come to the concert.It is today and the noise of low flying helicopters is too much to stay in the garden.
8:42 am
MLFAN17
is the fo7 an extension of another fo word?
8:43 am
mattygroves
Yeah, sort of. Extention of fo4/7

Deeha

8:52 am
sandyloo

8:52 am
MLFAN17

8:53 am
sandyloo

sandyloo
Those descents are very scary
9:58 am
rubyfoo
It"s a beautiful town, with arcaded Streets, very old
9:58 am
sandyloo
sorry Chambery (i am definitely not clever enough to do the accent)
9:59 am
sandyloo
Is it raining near you?
9:59 am
rubyfoo
Becausemy spell-check is French, it does the diacritical marks autoçmatically and sometimes adds the to English words
10:00 am
rubyfoo
It rained earlier, but I think the road was dry when he fell
10:00 am
sandyloo
Did you like yesterday's race? I really enjoyed it

10:08 am
rubyfoo
I find him too smug
10:08 am
Deeha
Just been described as the greatest athlete Britain has ever had. And he is very proud of being a Brit
10:09 am
sandyloo
He is indeed a talented cyclist no doubt. but I wanted Richie Porte to win.
10:09 am
sandyloo
I love it when they cry!
10:11 am
sandyloo
This is the second really close finish
10:19 am

The only things I watch are the World Cup and the Tour.
10:22 am
Deeha
I love athletics
10:23 am
sandyloo
I like the test cricket, the tour, and aussie rules footy (the only true football)
10:23 am
sandyloo
Of course I am not including the equestrian events of all kinds

Yes, athletics. I didn't think of that

anyone know what the 8 begins with?
1:10 pm
rururocks
oh. I hate big co words
1:10 pm
MollyL
Don't know why people think they "kill the chog". It is not a personal thing, conversation just dies off on its own.
1:11 pm
rururocks
i agree.. sometimes people are on-line but aren't really here
1:11 pm

Or they are concentrating on solving the puzzle, not on chatting.

hello from smokey BC
7:31 pm
stidmama
How close it it to you, nan? I was just reading about the fires up there.
7:31 pm
stidmama
Also, hey all -- just getting in. How's the grid today?
7:33 pm
HarryHood
41 to go and stuck.
7:33 pm
HarryHood
is there a list today?
7:35 pm
HarryHood
39. listing.
7:36 pm
cybernan
none really close to the Okanagan -- but over 380 wildfires currently burning across BC and the province is blanketed with smoke. Over 130 of them were started by lightning strikes on Fri and Sat -- some by flying embers coming from candling tres ( they will travel 2 or 3 miles and start new fires. The forest service has to concentrate on the ones in populated areas and let the rest burn
7:37 pm
cybernan
*230 fires, not 380
7:38 pm
cybernan
everything is still tinder dry and it doesn't look good
7:40 pm
HarryHood
frightening, nan
7:44 pm
cybernan
I guess we have to get used to it -- one of the consequences of global warming -- deserts are expanding, glaciers receding at an alarming rate and all affecting our weather patterns
7:44 pm
stidmama
Either number is too much, nan. :-( Our area is similarly forested, as you know, and I am often worried that all it will take is one really dry summer and a thunderstorm.
7:47 pm
cybernan
the scary part is that when a new fire breaks out there is no guarantee that there will be equipment available to fight it effectively -- we are maxed out now
7:48 pm
stidmama
Exactly. We usually have fires on the other side of the mountains, so when something big hits here we don't have full response. They bring people in fast from other places, but every hour of delay is a bad thing.
7:49 pm
stidmama
back soon -- Wally says it's supper time. :-)
7:50 pm
HarryHood
I'm done! stay safe nan. good night all
7:53 pm
