BBL

1:17 am

flosey

why nothing but red boxes?

1:17 am

Lizlin

It's so frustrating, isn't it?

1:18 am

flosey

yes but strange

1:18 am

flosey

has everyone been getting them? the page was full of red boxes

1:18 am

Lizlin

It's happened a lot this week. I guess the server is having problems again.

1:19 am

Lizlin

i've had some but I just went away for a while and then came back.

1:19 am

flosey

ah, indeed it has been a few days

1:19 am

flosey

I just block the whole thing

1:28 am

flosey

but now I'm off to bed, 75 for tomorrow, goodnight all

1:30 am

Lizlin

Sleep well, Flosey

2:19 am

rubyfoo

Goodmorning. Lovely big Sazturday grid.

3:01 am

flosey

hi ruby, can't sleep so might as well try to find a few more words

3:06 am

sprite

good morning all

3:07 am

flosey

good morning Sprite

3:08 am

sprite

good evening flosey. Sorry to see you cannot sleep, but happy to see you. How was your day today?

3:08 am

rubyfoo

Hi Flosey. What keeps you awake?

3:08 am

rubyfoo

strip

3:08 am

rubyfoo

strive

3:09 am

rubyfoo

sorry,l'll be quiet now

3:09 am

flosey

strange, normally alseep at this hour

3:09 am

sprite

lol, had not even seen the k, and now I have found all the k words. If this keeps up, I'll have to stop bemoaning the k grids.

3:11 am

flosey

perhaps a cup of tea will help! brb

3:11 am

sprite

always a good idea

3:23 am

sprite

gonna grab me a cup of coffee, you inspired me, flosey. Back in a few.

3:23 am

flosey

enjoy Sprite - that would be my first choice but not at this hour!

3:36 am

sprite

hehehe no, mine neither late in the evening. But to start my day with a latte macchiato... soooo good. And I made my love a cup of normal coffee, he is enjoying his saturday morning ritual of coffee, newspaper and radio.

3:37 am

flosey

that sounds like hubby here - coffee and the morning paper

3:38 am

sprite

:) I don't enjoy radio or newpapers, but I certainly enjoy seeing my love enjoying himself.

3:38 am

flosey

me too, no tea in the morning!! unless not well

3:39 am

sprite

there is a herbal tea here rather new on the market, with ginger and citrus. That one, I could drink at any time.

3:40 am

flosey

that does sound interesting

3:41 am

flosey

must look for it

3:42 am

sprite

it is this one, but the brand is dutch, not sure if you can get it there. Would love to send you some, but I don't think it will be allowed?
http://tinyurl.com/ydfoglbb

3:43 am

flosey

will let you know if I have any success - there are specialty tea shops around

3:43 am

sprite

great! Keep me posted, if not, we will find a way to get you some.

3:44 am

flosey

not here but in Victoria or Vancouver

3:45 am

sprite

usually, when the Albert Heijn chain brings out something new, it is not new, but copied or even just bought up and given a AH package.

3:46 am

flosey

there's a specialty tea shop in Victoria - and quite likely more in Vancouver - larger city

3:47 am

flosey

actually, probably several, Victoria is quite British

3:47 am

sprite

I bet you will find it there. Fun, to go searching for a new taste :)

3:48 am

flosey

it is!

3:49 am

sprite

I was googling to see if I could find another brand that carried this flavour. Found a recipe for homemade instead, simply use green tea as a base, chop up ginger root and infuse for 20 mins, and add some lemon juice and stevia or honey. Very healthy drink!

3:50 am

sprite

this is the site:
http://tinyurl.com/ycwdku9r

3:50 am

flosey

well, of course!! one can always try copying, will do that Sprite

3:52 am

sprite

:) me too, am gonna try that later today.

3:56 am

sprite

am thinking it will probably make a great ice tea as well. Might be worth making a big batch and putting it in the fridge in a glass bottle.

4:04 am

flosey

I think I'd better try again to sleep!! just after 2: am

4:04 am

sprite

ouch. I hope you'll drop off straight away now, flosey. Sleep well *hug*

4:04 am

flosey

good night a;;

4:05 am

flosey

all think fingers are tired too!

4:05 am

sprite

*grins* Time to put them to bed then.

4:05 am

flosey

and bye now,

4:11 am

MollyL

That was ballsy of you Zoom
: )

5:44 am

zoozzoom

lol

5:45 am

MollyL

Did you get over your night of drunken debauchery without too much damage to your head?
: D

5:46 am

zoozzoom

Yeah I was okay in the end thanks. I had a big glass of water before I went to sleep so did not have a headache in the morning :-)

5:46 am

MollyL

Smart move. So much of a hangover is dehydration.

5:48 am

zoozzoom

Thankfully for me it is very rare for me to drink much alcohol. Probably will not have any for long while now. Just now and again I feel like...sod it I am going to try and have some fun lol

5:49 am

rubyfoo

Hello zzoozz and Molly

5:49 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Ruby :-)

5:49 am

MollyL

And good that you do that. We should all have more fun.

5:49 am

MollyL

Hi Ruby

5:49 am

rubyfoo

221 words earlier while lurking

5:50 am

zoozzoom

Nice going, Ruby. i have 167 at the moment.

5:50 am

rubyfoo

I miss 5PM martini time with my husband; we had that for many years, even in our office

5:51 am

rubyfoo

But, of course, it petered out those last years

5:53 am

zoozzoom

If they bring back nice memories, Ruby, you could still have one at that time and say cheers to your beloved one. I am sure he would be smiling back at you saying chin chin!

5:53 am

MollyL

It is those enjoyable rituals that you miss the most when they slip away from you. Maybe you could invite a friend over for 5PM martinis once in a while.

5:54 am

rubyfoo

When you say "martini" in France, they think of sweet vermouth!

5:54 am

MollyL

Oh, that is nasty. Well, you can make "their" martinis and "your" martini. : D

5:55 am

rubyfoo

Haha

5:55 am

zoozzoom

Must confess I have never tried a martini.

5:56 am

rubyfoo

As they are very strong, I had to add a little water to mine

5:56 am

MollyL

I don't like vermouth at all. My idea of a good martini is ice cold vodka in a fancy glass. : D

5:57 am

rubyfoo

When I lived alone (between husbands), I would drink Smirnoff out of the freezer with room-temp Evian

5:57 am

rubyfoo

Sounds bland, but it was pleasant

5:58 am

MollyL

No, it sounds awesome. The freezer is the best place to keep vodka.

5:58 am

zoozzoom

I like southern comfort & lemonade myself.

5:58 am

rubyfoo

And l'd drink it while preparing my dinner as l cooked, way back when

6:00 am

zoozzoom

That reminds me of a chef on TV called Keith Floyd. He wowould always drink wine whilst doing the cooking program lol

6:01 am

MollyL

We had a creole southern chef here (Justin Wilson) who also drank wine while cooking. He would say "a little wine for the food, a little wine for the chef."

6:01 am

rubyfoo

Although I never saw her, only John Belushi's spoof, Julia Childs did the same thing

6:01 am

marigold

pr

6:02 am

rubyfoo

Hi Mari

6:02 am

MollyL

That was Dan Akroyd's spoof and it was hilarious. That is back when Saturday Night Live was good.

6:02 am

rubyfoo

AAH, l misremembered.

6:03 am

MollyL

Akroyd and Belushi were like salt and pepper. Hard to think of one without the other.

6:03 am

rubyfoo

Here, I only get clips on Youtube

6:08 am

zoozzoom

The Vs are really hard going.

6:09 am

rubyfoo

May I pls have stats or a hint for a nine and the ten

6:11 am

rubyfoo

Do you have all the snake ones?

6:11 am

zoozzoom

zoozzoom

Can give a clue too if needed.

6:12 am

rubyfoo

10:19 am

rubyfoo

I'm still woried about Rufie and will have to get friends to help me take him go the vet

10:20 am

rubyfoo

He is not himself

10:20 am

There are taxis, but l can't expect a driver to wrestle a reluctant large dog

10:22 am

rubyfoo

My frieend Nadia is strong and we can take my car and maybe the housekeeper, too

10:22 am

bichon

Hope all goes well

10:23 am

10:25 am

rubyfoo

I have no business having such a arge dog

rururocks

rubyfoo

10:47 am

hurshy

lol, why would you think either of those would work

10:47 am

hurshy

do you guys have the actual ch8, then? cause each of you is just one letter off...

10:47 am

rururocks

a chestman is a guy who works on chests

therealblah

manson

10:54 am

rururocks

he creeps me out completely hursh

10:54 am

rururocks

I remember the panic in California in those days

10:54 am

hurshy

ding ding ding!

10:55 am

hurshy

is he still alive, or was he executed or died in prison?

10:55 am

rururocks

he's still alive

10:56 am

rururocks

he got through on the Rose Bird Supreme Court no death penalties

10:56 am

therealblah

i saw an updated mug shot of him the other day

10:56 am

therealblah

most of his hair is gone

10:56 am

hurshy

they update mug shots?

10:57 am

therealblah

yes that was the first time i heard that - they take new mug shots every 3-4 years so if they escape they have a more recent picture

10:57 am

rururocks

yes.. when prisoners are in their cups

10:57 am

hurshy

they should really start doing mug videos

10:58 am

hurshy

when you see someone in a still, they can look fairly different from how they look with dynamic facial expressions and stuff

10:59 am

therealblah

true, but still better than using a 30 year old pic

10:59 am

therealblah

and trying to imagine what they look like today

10:59 am

hurshy

yeah. just seems like tech is so easy these days, might as well use it

10:59 am

therealblah

yeah jeez they could just use their iphones

10:59 am

rururocks

I think the Nazi symbol on his forehead would kind of give him away don't you?

11:00 am

hurshy

i was thinking in GENERAL ru, not just him

11:02 am

rururocks

we have so many prisoners here that should be put to death it's beyond reason

11:02 am

hurshy

:(

11:02 am

rururocks

I think Manson is in a another state not California?

11:03 am

rururocks

no.. he's in california

11:09 am

rururocks

I saw a show on how computers can age your picture to be somewhat similar to how your face would look at old age

11:09 am

hurshy

that sounds depressing

11:10 am

rururocks

i found it interesting

Maine is a huge state! Boston to ANP is a 6-hour drie.

6:12 pm

penquis

i suppose you go up the pike to Augusta and take a road off that?

6:13 pm

Scrabbler

And 12 hours from here, so we will stop north of Boston each way.

6:13 pm

Scrabbler

We will do whatever Google Maps tells us.

6:13 pm

penquis

if you try to go up the coast on Route 1, it will take you a lot longer than you think it will...

6:13 pm

penquis

lots of traffic on Route 1...

6:14 pm

Scrabbler

So what is the inland route?

6:14 pm

penquis

I would have to look at a map....it's not a road i would take from here....

6:15 pm

Scrabbler

I was studying a map earlier today.

6:17 pm

7:34 pm

shoot, a full hour later, scrabbler prob gone

7:40 pm

Scrabbler

I am here now.

7:40 pm

nrkii

Hi there!

7:40 pm

Scrabbler

Yes, nrkii--Acadia NP for the trifecta of hiking, kayaking, and mountain biking.

7:41 pm

Scrabbler

It's great to see you here.

7:41 pm

nrkii

If you go to Acadia, you'll be just 1 hour away from one of my favorite places, which is Nervous Nellies Jams and Jellies on Deer Isle.

7:41 pm

nrkii

Totally worth the detour.

7:42 pm

Scrabbler

I will write that down now.

7:42 pm

nrkii

http://www.nervousnellies.com/

7:42 pm

nrkii

The sculptures are great and the jam is even better.

7:43 pm

nrkii

And if you are going soon, BUY local blueberries on the side of the road if you see any

7:43 pm

nrkii

Blueberries this time of year in that part of Maine are insanely good. Unlike any others in the country.

7:44 pm

Scrabbler

I see Deer Isle on the map.

7:44 pm

Scrabbler

I LOVE blueberries and already collected 12 lbs (and ate 4 lbs while collecting) at a local farm.

7:45 pm

nrkii

I used to rent a house every year on Deer Island (in the town of Deer Isle) and then I would drive to Bar Harbor for the day.

7:46 pm

nrkii

Haven't been in several years though. Am just now pondering another sailing trip in September, which will take me up in that area, but I won't be able to get to Nervous Nellies from the boat.

7:46 pm

nrkii

I order a case of her jams every year. Great gifts.

7:46 pm

Scrabbler

I am excited but my mother doesn't want me going in case she gets ill. So I am supposed to put my life on hold until she is gone?

7:46 pm

nrkii

No, you are not.

7:47 pm

nrkii

You are right to not let yourself be manipulated, if you'll forgive my saying so.

7:47 pm

Scrabbler

She truly wants me to cancel the trip. Not fair to me or my friend, and SO selfish.

7:48 pm

Scrabbler

I need reminders to just go and have fun. I left the Adirondack Mtns a day early because of her recent illness.

7:49 pm

nrkii

GO. And have fun! It is a gorgeous part of the world.

7:50 pm

Scrabbler

Acadia NP is on my bucket list and this trip is long-awaited. Tonight my mother asked me which city is closest so that I could fly home if she is ill.

7:50 pm

nrkii

Maine is my favorite place. I hope I get to move there someday, when Lambertville gets boring. :)

7:51 pm

Scrabbler

I love New England and I think I will fall in love with Maine.

7:51 pm

nrkii

If you get a chance to do any day trips (and I know you might not with all the hiking and kayaking), Stonington and Castine are wonderful little towns.

7:53 pm

nrkii

Bar Harbor and the other towns on Mt. Desert Island might still be a little crowded, but of course the park is just gorgeous and big enough to not be too crowded.

7:53 pm

nrkii

When do you fly to Boston?

7:54 pm

Scrabbler

We are not going there to shop. We will be active every day. Castine is a place we might see, if we kayak on the Penobscot River.

7:55 pm

Scrabbler

We are driving (12 hours) but my mother already told me that I must fly home if she needs me. I didn't tell her that I will shorten my trip if she is seriously ill only. And she is fine now.

7:55 pm

nrkii

Yeah, neither town is good for shopping, so a good thing you're not looking for that. :) Both are just classic old villages. Castine is fascinating.

7:55 pm

Scrabbler

We could kayak into Castine.

7:55 pm

nrkii

Oh, long drive, but much easier to have your car.

7:56 pm

Scrabbler

W will have our boats and bikes.

7:57 pm

Scrabbler

We are staying with a friend north of Boston to split up the long drive.

7:57 pm

nrkii

Here you go, from Castine: http://tinyurl.com/y95zbw6u

Is it pronounced Cas-teen or Cas-tine?

8:00 pm

We are staying at a B & B on Mt Desert. I forget the name but it looks totally charming and we can walk/bike from there.
