sprite

good morning all

1:02 am

rururocks

hello sprite

1:02 am

sprite

*hugs ru* So good to see you. How are things overthere?

1:03 am

rururocks

much better now.. we had some rain that helped the firemen

1:03 am

sprite

am ever so glad. Did you suffer any damage?

1:04 am

rururocks

no.. I was one of the lucky ones..

1:05 am

sprite

I am sorry for all who had damage or worse. But I am happy you weren't among them

1:06 am

rururocks

it's pretty bad here.. especially for the next valley over

1:09 am

sprite

ks killed

1:10 am

rururocks

lol you and the k's

1:10 am

sprite

they actively hate me :D

1:10 am

rururocks

CO words hate me

1:11 am

rururocks

I get so confused by co words in big grids

1:12 am

sprite

those can be bad too. My problem with Ks is that I just don't seem to know that many K words. So I am pretty soon out of possible attempts. With Co's, I have the illusion I am making progress because I can keep on trying words.

1:12 am

flosey

good morning Sprite

1:13 am

sprite

*hugs flosey * Hello dear lady, how are you today?

2:05 am

Q

i hate when i end on a word i thought i already had.

2:35 am

rubyfoo

Grids may be "easy peasy" forsome people, but not for all of us.

2:55 am

MollyL

I always find these grids challenging. That is why I keep playing. If I thought they were "easy", I would move on to something more challenging.

2:56 am

rubyfoo

Getting up in the morning is challenging.

2:58 am

rubyfoo

These are fun as long as there isn't someone obnoxious in the chat, at which point l just go as far as l can and then switch to lexulous or thet Neew Yorker

2:58 am

rubyfoo

How are you, MMolly?

2:59 am

MollyL

Doing well Ruby, and you?

3:01 am

rubyfoo

3:27 am

mattygroves

Is the ta a common word?

3:28 am

LuvWordGames

yes, I'd say so. It's a plural. Let me know if you want a further clue

3:29 am

mattygroves

Found it, thanks. It drew itself to me ;)

3:34 am

MollyL

Some people think ta7 are very common

Scrabbler

BAck after dealing with emails.

10:02 am

rururocks

(hopes scrabs can deal with mine now that her's are done)

10:04 am

Scrabbler

I deleted the unneeded ones and did a medical survey. Don't you delete the junk?

10:06 am

rururocks

I don't get junk emails.. .but I get hundreds of emails each day.. often 400 +

10:06 am

Scrabbler

WOW! Why? How do you manage those?

10:07 am

rururocks

i seem to be able to keep up.

10:10 am

Scrabbler

How many hours does this take everyday? Are the emails mostly business related?

10:11 am

rururocks

no.. they're usually questions or orders or notes about a new release or a million things.. they are 99.8% business related.. I don't get that many personal emails

10:12 am

Shirlockc

what do you do ruru? is it a marketing gig?

10:12 am

Scrabbler

I have 2 email accounts--friends and non-friends.

10:12 am

Scrabbler

Hi Shirl

10:13 am

Shirlockc

been a while, scrabbler!

10:13 am

Scrabbler

I saw you here a few days ago.

10:13 am

Shirlockc

got laid off again, so LOTS of free time LOL

10:14 am

Scrabbler

Oh, no!

10:14 am

rururocks

I'm in the wine business shirlock

10:14 am

Shirlockc

meh, it is what it is

10:15 am

Scrabbler

How are recovery efforts moving along in your area, ruru? How can people ever recover and rebuild?

10:16 am

Shirlockc

huh, i worked on a web site for ribera y rueda wines and i don't drink

10:16 am

rururocks

they are moving slowly.. for sure.. the fires are mostly out.. I'm not sure how people are going to rebuild.. giant neighborhoods were incinerated

10:17 am

Shirlockc

tragic ruru

10:17 am

Scrabbler

I have seen photos.

10:17 am

rururocks

Santa Rosa and Windsor got the worst of it.. it looks like North Korea sent a nuclear bomb there.. it's horrible

10:18 am

rururocks

I was sure my house was gone when i left on Wednesday last week

10:18 am

Scrabbler

What terror you have all endured, and grief for so many.

10:20 am

rururocks

yeah.. it was something I've never experienced before.. the amazing thing is that I kept a cool head during the whole process and settled my ex down and got her out of the valley.. she was completely freaked out.. there was a WALL of flames not far from her house

10:21 am

rururocks

One of my friends left his house in a police car as he only had minutes to get out.. I think he left in his pajamas since it hit in the middle of the night

10:21 am

Scrabbler

It makes me anxious thinking about the need for immediate evacuation and to grab pets first then consider what valuables can be grabbed.

10:22 am

Shirlockc

I've always wondered how I'd react in a sitch like that -- and also pray never to have to do so

10:22 am

rururocks

that's what we went through.. I am fostering a dog starting today that was homeless from the fires

10:22 am

rururocks

une would be proud of me :D

10:23 am

bichon

bless you ru

10:24 am

Scrabbler

Good for you, ruru. The House Rabbit Society has been busy rescuing and fostering rabbits affected in the fires.

10:24 am

rururocks

he had a beautiful, beautiful home and lavishly furnished (his wife is a high end designer) and it's all gone in minutes.. the fire just blew through his neighborhood in less than one hour and flattened everything

10:25 am

rururocks

I think firefighters are some of the bravest people on the planet

10:26 am

Scrabbler

Absolutely.

10:27 am

rururocks

in over 12,000 firefighters here (coming from everywhere) only one was killed. I find that amazing given how crazy this fire was

10:27 am

Scrabbler

Well, with 36 left it is time to shower and get on with my day. I will mountain bike all over the park today. High temps in the 70's today and tomorrow.

10:27 am

rururocks

have a good day scrabs

10:28 am

Scrabbler

((Ruru & Dylan & foster pup)) What is that dog's name?

10:29 am

rururocks

Chelsea.. she's 11 and a Golden too.. she's very sweet and gentle

10:30 am

Scrabbler

Aw. I saw a Golden named Star at the lake yesterday when I was kayaking. She loved the water but it was too cold for me to swim.

10:30 am

Scrabbler

Bone-chilling, actually.

10:30 am

rururocks

my Dog.. doesn't get in the water.. he's a big weenie

10:30 am

Scrabbler

Haha.

10:31 am

Scrabbler

Star came running through the woods far ahead of her owner, and jumped in next to wear I was sitting on the beach.

10:31 am

rururocks

i literally have to drag him outside to pee in the rain

10:31 am

Scrabbler

Silly Dylan.

10:32 am

rururocks

his father was a Master Hunter too.. water should be in his genes..

10:33 am

Scrabbler

Ok, I must get moving. Enjoy the day.

10:33 am

rururocks

later .. have fun
