Hi and hugs Sprite
3:24 am
sprite
*hugs Liz* How are you? And your beloved?
3:24 am
Lizlin
We’re well thanks. Busy - have guest, which is lovely.
3:25 am
Lizlin
How are you and your world?
3:25 am
sprite
sounds good! Glad you are enjoying the company of friend
3:26 am
sprite
it's a bit of a challenge atm here. Lots of things going on, worries, coming to terms with stuff. Lots of processes going on, and I am very tired from surviving the december madness and noise. But on the whole, things are good and will go better over time.
3:27 am
Lizlin
Hope things improve quickly, so you can de-stress.
3:27 am
sprite
thanks :) From your mouth...
3:29 am
Lizlin
Have you read anything good recently?
3:30 am
sprite
just finished Origin by Dan Brown, which I enjoyed very much. Another good one in the Robert Langdon series.
3:31 am
Lizlin
I’m near the end of the Michael Lister series - OK but not loving them
3:31 am
sprite
have you read the Da Vinci Code and sequels?
3:32 am
Lizlin
Da Vinci code yes - fun. Not the others.
3:32 am
sprite
will drop the series in our dropbox then
3:33 am
Lizlin
Ooh! Thanks.
3:34 am
Lizlin
Got to go - set the table and have dinner. Stay strong and like I said, hope things improve. Hugs
3:34 am
sprite
enjoy! And thanks. *hugs*

Hello, Sprite, if you are still here :-)
3:47 am
sprite
*hugs zooz* Hello dear man, and happy new year to you and yours.
3:47 am
zoozzoom
Thanks! And to you and your family too!
3:48 am
sprite
wow, good job on the grid. I am not even halfway, not seeing many words.
3:48 am
sprite
thank you! How are you and your parents?
3:48 am
zoozzoom
I even found the 8!
3:48 am
sprite
yay! Got that one too, myself.
3:49 am
zoozzoom
Dad is still under the weather and mother is still in bed. Been in bed for over a month now.
3:49 am
zoozzoom
Nice one!
3:49 am
sprite
that does not sounds good at all. What does the doctor say?
3:51 am
zoozzoom
He just keeps giving her liquids to take as for some reason she suddenly can not take tablets as it makes her sick before they have the chance to work. They keep saying that she will have to go the hospital as they have done everything they can possibly do. bUt she refuses. So frustrating.
3:52 am
sprite
:( That is really frustrating indeed. Am so sorry.
3:52 am
zoozzoom
We have had the doctor out four times now and an ambulance. Although the abulance was for my dad.
3:53 am
zoozzoom
They are as stubborn as mules those two.
3:54 am
sprite
not easy to deal with, as a son. You want to get them more help, no doubt, but they won't let you
3:54 am
zoozzoom
They both had the anti-flu virus earlier in the year and they both got the flu virus. In fairness that flu virus seems to be rife this year. So many people have caught it.
3:55 am
zoozzoom
Yes that is right, Sprite, We have argued a lot about it but in the end it is their decision.
3:56 am
sprite
that is the thing with the anti flu shots. They make a cocktail of all the viruses they think will hit us this year. But when you catch a virus that is not in the cocktail, you get just as sick as without the shot.
3:56 am
zoozzoom
Hope things get better for you through out this year, Sprite!
3:56 am
sprite
(((((((zooz)))))) You are a wonderful son to them, never doubt it
3:56 am
sprite
thanks zooz :) I hope so too. Will do all in my power to make it so.
3:57 am
zoozzoom
My dad is convinced that they are trying to kill off the old people so they have more resources to help the younger generation. Bless him.
3:57 am
sprite
Bless his heart. Poor man.
3:59 am
zoozzoom
I have exactly 15 left to find. Need to get going now. Hope you have a great day, Sprite! Happy babbling everyone!
4:00 am
sprite
have a wonderful day too, zooz, and my very best wishes to you and your parents.
4:18 am

fireflies. Bye all, hagd
4:36 am

zooz (if you're still around), speaking as an old person, I think your dad has a point.
4:41 am
jwr
just had our first hard quake in years - as they put it in the Mikado - a short, sharp shock
4:54 am
jwr
4.5, just a startler, rattled everything loose
4:54 am
jwr
elucidation: rattled everything that was loose ... including me
5:14 am
rururocks
I didnt feel it
5:20 am

Good morning
5:20 am
rururocks
Hi rubes
5:21 am
rubyfoo
Ugly weather here -- not cold but dark and endless rain
5:21 am
sukee
Hi ruby and ruru
5:21 am
rubyfoo
And there's a threat of avalanches in the local resorts
5:21 am
sukee
Still cold here...with more snow coming.
5:21 am
rubyfoo
hi sukee and ruru
5:22 am
rubyfoo
They predicted a Dangerous windstorm for yesterday but, happily, it didn't happen
5:22 am
rururocks
RAining here too
5:22 am
sukee
The weather is so messed up this year, everywhere.
5:23 am
rubyfoo
They're predicting snow on the weekend, but l think they're using a ouija board as the prédictions are starting to feel almost random
5:23 am
sukee
There is a super storm coming to the east coast, we should miss the worst of it.
5:24 am
rubyfoo
l feel sorry for my sister in NY
5:24 am
sukee
I want spring...
5:26 am
rubyfoo
When llived in upstate NY, winter lasted from Sept to June and real summer about 3 days
5:27 am
rubyfoo
The weather here is much more moderate
5:30 am
rubyfoo
There's a fault line above my house, but it's very old and minor; there was a tiny quake around the time we arrived and it toppled a couple of chimneys
5:32 am
kje
I am up now bc of a tiny quake, Ruby
5:32 am
rubyfoo
How tiny?
5:32 am
rubyfoo
and hello KJE
5:33 am
kje
but woke us up
5:33 am
rubyfoo
l have a stupid question: do quakes make noise?
5:34 am
kje
like a low rumbly sound right as you feel it
5:34 am
rubyfoo
l always wondered
5:35 am
rururocks
They can be quite loud when large
5:35 am
kje
why are you up, ru? same reason?
5:36 am
rubyfoo
Have either of you been through big ones?
5:36 am
rururocks
No. Just woke up
5:36 am
rururocks
I have. Several
5:37 am
kje
centered at Berkeley, ru...Hayward fault?
5:37 am
rururocks
Yes. Most likely
5:37 am
rururocks
Or the Rogers Fault
5:38 am
kje
well, now I'm awake damn it
5:38 am
rubyfoo
Did you notice that they named the storm that didn't happen here? l think that's the first time since l've been here
5:39 am
kje
named it and didn't happen?
5:39 am
rubyfoo
"Eleanor"
5:39 am
rubyfoo
ridiculous!
5:40 am
kje
now no one will want to use that name for a child... they would be teased
5:41 am
kje
do it - no - I dare you - no - you're SUCH an eleanor
5:43 am
rubyfoo
Did you know that they name animals with a specific letter each year?
5:44 am
rubyfoo
like: Peter, Poopie, Pepe, Pamela -- how silly is that?
5:45 am
rubyfoo
Of course my two black dogs had extremely common names, so who am l to make fun?
5:45 am
kje
so all animlas born that year start with the same letter?
5:46 am
kje
hmmm, I could see how that might have started on a farm
5:46 am
rubyfoo
But l'm not French, so l didn't follow that rule.
5:46 am
kje
I have no animals, so I don't either ; )
5:46 am
rubyfoo
Why, on a farm?
5:47 am
kje
so they can easily track ages and such
5:47 am
rubyfoo
All of my redchows (and they're called red but have actually been shaded blonde) have had names s-tarting with R
5:49 am
rubyfoo
Rosie, Rufus, Ruby, Ruffino, Rafaella -- so i'm as dopey as the French, just dopey in a different way
5:50 am
doseffing
... people do it all the time ... I've had a friend from a family of six kids all starting with W and another from a family of seven all starting with M
5:50 am
kje
I have a friend we call the J family -she and her husband both have names starting with J,and the kids are Julia and Jonathon
5:52 am
rubyfoo
Myson's wife is one of 7 D sibs
6:23 am
Scrabbler
Good day to all.
6:23 am
Scrabbler
kje, we see many families like that.
7:34 am
penquis
All Rs in my family....my mother's idea....even my parents and our dogs had names that started with R...
7:42 am
MollyL
<--Sad for all the guys who wanted to date Pen's Mom whose name did not start with R
7:43 am
penquis
yes....very sad.... ;o)
7:43 am
penquis
but lucky for my dad...

8:08 am

how're things up there this morning pen?
8:09 am
RoundBarn
our cows were all named by numbers, according to year--letter then number--then translated into French. I have a chapter on naming cows in my book.
8:10 am
penquis
snowing here....expecting 12 to 18 inches....and wind gusts of up to 60 mph are expected....
8:10 am
penquis
interesting, round....
8:10 am
moolingwa
sounds like a nice day
8:10 am
markbowers7
morning all...currently watching the snow fall..and not being at all concerned about the "bomb" cyclone. VT is just getting normal winter weather...
8:11 am
penquis
hello, mark...
8:11 am
moolingwa
the media have outdone themselves with dumb names for weather events
8:11 am
penquis
i am just hoping the wind will keep snow off my car...
8:11 am
fuzzybunny
Morning Mark, I used to live in Ludlow!
8:12 am
penquis
hi fuzzy....
8:12 am
markbowers7
nice, fuzzy...i live in Bridgewater Corners and work in Killington. my wife works in Rutland
8:12 am
fuzzybunny
hi pen, no show here yet.
8:13 am
fuzzybunny
I lasted 2 weeks at the bik K. Worked at Okemo for 20 years and skied at K. What do you do there?
8:13 am
penquis
started here about 20 min. ago.....more of a coastal storm, i think....
8:14 am
markbowers7
i no longer work AT Killington (night-time snowmaking), but i work at Goodro Lumber IN Killington
8:14 am
fuzzybunny
agree pen. too much gloom and doom for anything big to come of it this far inland.
8:15 am
RoundBarn
mark, see my vermont book, The Taste of Spruce Gum. Takes place on Killington Mt. Won the Dorothy Canfield Fisher Award. (I'm from Hinesburg)
8:16 am
fuzzybunny
tough job snowmaker...appreciate all they do but would not want to do it. My husband sells lumber for Moose River Lumber, Pleasant River Lumber, Hancock Lumber and one other. I know that he sells lumber to your yard.
8:17 am
moolingwa
the chat has a very vermonty feel about it right now
8:17 am
MollyL
*Pours syrup on the chat
8:18 am
markbowers7
i'll have to check it out, Round...looks like a good read
8:18 am
penquis
my great nephew is at the Univ. of VT.....*just wanted to fit in here*....
8:18 am
fuzzybunny
vt is a wonderful place to live, with great skiing to boot!
8:18 am
moolingwa
I live in Colorado
8:19 am
RoundBarn
My grandnephew is at Middlebury
8:19 am
markbowers7
Molly, don't laugh, but we put maple syrup on a LOT of things. my family of 4 is averaging 3 gallons a year in consumption
8:20 am
Eva
just got here-I'm in Vermont too
8:20 am
markbowers7
nice, Eva
8:20 am
penquis
hi eva...
8:21 am
fuzzybunny
Colorado isn't bad for skiing either...
8:21 am
Eva
NE of Montpelier
8:21 am
moolingwa
Never knew there were so many vermonters here
8:21 am
penquis
i like maple syrup on a lot of stuff, too....ice cream, ploys, salmon, scallops....
8:21 am
markbowers7
...not surprising that a word game is frequented by so many Vermonters... ;)
8:21 am
Eva
haven't been on chat for a long time, but there used to be some others
8:21 am
fuzzybunny
I live in Maine now, but my heart is in Vermont and my ashes will be atop Mt. Washington
8:21 am
Eva
spending my time these days keeping pipes from freezing
8:22 am
Eva
mark are in VT too?
8:22 am
penquis
i can relate to that...
8:22 am
Eva
maine is the other place I'd love to live
8:22 am
Eva
miss the ocean
8:22 am
markbowers7
Vermont: populated by well-read, gun-toting, tree-huggers...
8:22 am
fuzzybunny
My son puts maple syrup on his scrambled eggs, definitely a Quebecois thing
8:22 am
moolingwa
who like maple syrup?
8:23 am
markbowers7
yes, Eva...i'm in Bridgewater Corners between Killington and Woodstock. and i resemble that remark i made about Vermonters...
8:23 am
Eva
I'm not big on eating syrup straight, but use it for cooking
8:23 am
Eva
i do too-minus the guns
8:23 am
fuzzybunny
and underemployed people
8:26 am
fuzzybunny
I have been know to take a few nips of maple syrup straight. A wonderful drink called "hot gin or gin chaud" is made with Dekuyper Gin and boiling sap. You control how sweet it is from what stage in the evaporator that you take the sap from.
8:27 am
markbowers7
i'm not really gun-toting either...but it is a common theme up here.
8:28 am
markbowers7
Fuzzy, do you know the joke "what do you call a Vermonter with 2 jobs?"
8:29 am
RoundBarn
I don't know that joke Mark--but Vermont has 10 months of winter and two months of pretty late in the fall--
8:30 am
markbowers7
yres, Eva
8:30 am
RoundBarn
AND, my Spruce Gum book goes back and forth between Rutland and Killington--I once drove up to where the lumber camp ws on Killington--the CCC had built a stone shelter there
8:31 am
Eva
no wait a sec there round....we also have mud season and black fly season
8:31 am
markbowers7
true, Eva...mud season is quite notorious
8:32 am
Eva
and with climate change we have multiple mud seasons
8:32 am
RoundBarn
I agree--I know those seasons too--the saying whould include them
8:33 am
RoundBarn
Rasta who sometimes gives a definition in chat grew up in Vermont--
8:33 am
penquis
and hunting season....all common replies when asking young children in rural Maine to name the seasons....
8:34 am
penquis
in Maine we have two seasons....winter and the fourth of July... ;o)
8:34 am
markbowers7
d'yougecherdeer?
8:35 am
markbowers7
...is a common question here
8:35 am
penquis
or moose here....
8:35 am
MollyL
What are "ploys"?
8:35 am
Eva
translation mark?
8:36 am
fuzzybunny
Ploys are a type of buckwheat crepe
8:36 am
markbowers7
did you get your deer? most people around here hunt at least once
8:36 am
fuzzybunny
Mark, is the answer to your joke "lucky?"
8:38 am
fuzzybunny
Round Barn, is the cabin you refer to on Killington now know as Cooper's Cabin?
8:38 am
markbowers7
Fuzzy, "lazy" actually. Most people seem to have multiple jobs...none of which provide a living, but perhaps cobbled together might
8:40 am
fuzzybunny
When I lived in Ludlow I worked 30 hours a week at Okemo and tended bar six nights a week in the winter so that I could survive the non tourist season. That was back before the ski areas became more of a three season destination.
8:41 am
fuzzybunny
oops...PB for me
8:45 am
RoundBarn
I don't know about Coopers Cabin--haven't been up to see--but all the Killingto n lumber camp details are true (in my fiction book)--got them from a person who lived in the camp

10:24 am

I was thinking a couple of inches just won't do it back east :D
10:24 am
Trifioso
seems we have to tiptoe around the chog in general lately. How I miss the days when it wasn't so.
10:24 am
rururocks
why do we have to tiptoe.. I don't really notice a huge difference?
10:25 am

tiptoe thru the tulips, through the tulips.

I think the chat has been pretty nice lately.. I haven't seen any squabbles of any kind
10:26 am
rururocks
and my stalker is taking a break from babble.. so I'm pretty happy
10:27 am
Trifioso
the fact that you HAVE a stalker proves my point.
10:28 am

Back for the last 14...going to the list...sigh...
10:28 am
rururocks
oh.. sort of .. I just put up with him
10:30 am
Trifioso
and we all know certain entities just cant resist writing biting comments all day every day. it has, for me, changed the tone of the entire chog, and not for the better.
10:31 am

11:14 am
penquis
so are we.... :o(
11:14 am
Judi
Blustery and snowy. Only about 2-3 inches so far. Being from upstate NY, it amuses me that they get so freaked out by a little snow here.
11:15 am
penquis
blizzard conditions here...
11:15 am
penquis
we are expecting 12 to 16 in. and big wind gusts according to the noon weather forecast...

11:21 am
rururocks
4.0 or thereabouts is nothing really..
11:21 am
rururocks

11:22 am
Judi
Media sensationalizes everything now. Just absurd.
11:22 am
Judi
And screw the running out for milk and bread. I'm only goihg out to buy the $500 + mil Power Ball ticket.

11:31 am
HarryHood
you'll have to have some pretty strong lungs for that pen
11:33 am
Judi
Hubby laughed at me a few years ago when I suggested he clear the fluffy snow from the driveway & cars with the leaf blower. Then he saw the neighbor doing it and decided it was a good idea after all.
11:33 am
HarryHood
"odor" does not exist in the puzzle
I could have sworn it was there
11:33 am
penquis
lol....i think the 50-60 mph wind gusts might do it for me...
11:33 am
penquis
not that windy yet....
11:34 am
HarryHood
in that case I'd be clearing the snow with a rake :)
11:35 am
Judi
lol, Harry. Not the same!
