Disappointing to have a tiny oneon Sunday

zoozzoom

Hello, Ruby! it is a little bit nippy here too but not too bad.

rubyfoo

6:13 am

rubyfoo

Hello Sukee

6:13 am

sukee

Hi Ruby

6:13 am

rubyfoo

Is it any warmer?

6:14 am

sukee

A little...it is going up to -6 today...the worst is over.

6:14 am

rubyfoo

A heat wave!

6:15 am

sukee

Although, they are calling for snow

6:15 am

rubyfoo

There was a glimmer of sun yesterday, but they're predicting a miserable week, high winds, rain or snow (depending on elevation)

6:15 am

rubyfoo

l'll just stay in the house

6:17 am

rubyfoo

hoping for a big grid tomorrow.....

6:17 am

sukee

This is tiny.

6:17 am

rubyfoo

19 left, but not Worth the effort

6:18 am

rubyfoo

see you tomorrow

6:18 am

sukee

Take care.

6:27 am

MollyL

Greetings from the frozen tundra. It is 3 degrees here.

6:27 am

sukee

You beat us, we are at -2F

6:28 am

sukee

Supposedly going up to 21F

6:30 am

MollyL

This extreme cold is really wearing me out. I don't know how you deal with it in Canada when it is this cold most of the winter.

6:30 am

sukee

This year is colder than normal here too. I am having a hard time dealing with it.

6:31 am

sukee

If I could move somewhere warmer I would.

6:32 am

MollyL

Me too. I would like to live somewhere that "snow" was never in the forecast.

6:33 am

sukee

But then you might have tornados, hurricanes, earthquakes, etc.

6:33 am

MollyL

Oh, that's a cheery thought
: D

6:34 am

sukee

Ok, 12 left, time for more coffee.

7:19 am

Kizah

I'm in the US Iowa and it's 16 here this morning, which is like a heat wave!

7:19 am

Kizah

It won't reach freezing today, but close...31 estimate high

7:37 am

Buggie

I don't get why it's so cold over there, and not here. We haven't had any snow yet. In fact we're not even getting frosts, which is a problem. Plants are budding and even flowering months too early. I'm a little worried my fruit trees won't produce anything this year. If they flower too early, they get hit by frost and don't produce fruit...

7:41 am

MollyL

If I could, I would gladly send all this frigid crap anywhere but here. I am sick and tired of it.

7:43 am

Buggie

I can imagine. It's wet and windy, which is actually a good thing. We're missing several months worth of rain for 2017.

Minveryork

Hello babblers! How is everybody doing on this cold day?

5:41 pm

phandmd

good and you Min?

5:44 pm

MollyL

Hi Min. I was glad to read that you are finally free from your marriage that was making you so unhappy. I wish better things for you from now on.

5:57 pm

hurshy

where did you read that Molly?

6:07 pm

Minveryork

Thank you MollyL! Now I just need to get the heck out of this house. I have been looking at apartments. Hoping to move out within the next few months when it's warmer.

6:07 pm

hurshy

min, do you have kids? pets?

6:10 pm

Minveryork

No kids, but we do have a dog. I am hoping to be able to share custody of the dog with him. It will be devastating not have him with me at all times. He is my whole life!

6:11 pm

hurshy

what kind of dog?

6:13 pm

Minveryork

He is a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel,the sweetest dog!!!

6:13 pm

MollyL

Oh Min, why shared custody? That is YOUR dog. You should have him all the time.

6:16 pm

Minveryork

Actually,we got the dog from his sister. We took the dog over when she did not have the means to take of him, so he came from his side of the family. I have 2 share him.

6:17 pm

Minveryork

Although I've been the main provider for the dog, he has just as much right the dog as I do. He loves the dog also.

6:22 pm

MollyL

I'm sorry Min. From what you have said here, you have taken care of everything a hundred times over. I don't think you should have to share that dog with someone who has made life so difficult for you.

6:24 pm

Minveryork

I don't think so either,but it really is not worth the fight.

6:25 pm

Minveryork

I tried to keep everything as amicable as possible so that we'd be able to share custody of the dog with each other

6:32 pm

hurshy

does anyone have either of the two top A words?

6:33 pm

Minveryork

af 6/36 is beginning of a country hursy, also in my story.

OOPS! Sorry.

7:33 pm

Minveryork

Hello Nef!How are you doing today? Welcome to the grid

7:34 pm

Nef

Hi Min. I'm a bit out in left field today; but otherwise okay. how are you doing these days?

7:35 pm

Minveryork

I am doing well.I had a 4 day weekend due to snowstorm

7:36 pm

Minveryork

A friend of mine from Minnesota posted on FB that it was -22 degrees. I thought -2 degrees felt frigidly cold in NY.

7:37 pm

Nef

Ahh! Sounds like it should be fun. I hope you didn't have to shovel too much

7:38 pm

Nef

yep. It's been cold here; and the wind chill has made it even more miserable too.

7:40 pm

Nef

I've been holed up inside this week;I had thumb surgery on Wednesday & it has given me an excuse to stay inside. :-)

7:40 pm

Minveryork

Actually, I did not lift a finger to shovel. Hubby did all of the snow blowing. I've only been out to take out my dog.

7:42 pm

Nef

(I'm a lefty, & it was my left thumb. The cast/splint goes from my fingers to my elbow; it's going to take 3 months to heal)

7:42 pm

Nef

Good for you, Min!

7:48 pm

Minveryork

Wow, U R a lefty? I have always been fascinated with people who are left-handed. Did U know that before DT,the last 4 Presidents were left handed?I can name all the celebrities who are left handed as well. I also tried to make myself become left-handed when I was a little kid. Still wish that I was a left-handed person.

7:50 pm

Nef

LOL, Min; that's funny! I guess my 2nd grade teacher tried to make me right-handed; that really messed me up that year.

7:56 pm

Nef

My aunt who raised me from 3rd grade on was a teacher & (at that time) county Supt. of Schools. She saw how bad I was doing with writing & eating & she straightened me out right away. She told me to turn my paper the correct way; forget about using my right hand for writing or eating; etc. Had beautiful writing when I was younger.

8:09 pm

Minveryork

"left-handed people are in their right mind". Maybe I would've married a better man if I'd been left-handed Looking back now I definitely wasn't in my right mind when I got married. Oh well,you live and learn, right?

8:15 pm

Nef

according to your story for the day; you dated long enough. Did his personality change (or was that partly fiction)?

8:19 pm

Minveryork

We actually dated for longer than that, I was just stupid!

8:21 pm

hurshy

i'm left handed and i got married pretty stupidly as well, min

8:21 pm

Minveryork

His time in Af6/36stan though is completely not true,Nef

8:22 pm

Minveryork

Oh look at that, another lefty babbler. YAY! Wonder how many babblers are left-handed.How are U doing with the grid hurshy? You stopped asking for clues. DId you finish?

8:23 pm

hurshy

no, didn't finish

8:23 pm

8:26 pm

Mrs.T.

Good evening! Just wanted to pop in and say thanks for the story to minveryork. It was very helpful.

8:26 pm

Minveryork

I have been saving my last word since 10:20 so I can help

8:26 pm

Minveryork

Hello MRs.T!You are so welcome. I am glad it helped you

8:27 pm

hurshy

min, you must be one of the nicest people in the world

8:27 pm

Minveryork

I do try to be.I think husband would beg to differ though

8:27 pm

Nef

I don't think that there are more lefties here than in the general population; I do think that the game does draw a larger number of word nerds than the general public, however.

8:28 pm

Nef

I agree with hurshy; I think Min is 1 of the nicest people I know too

8:30 pm

Minveryork

Well thanks guys. Most of the people I have encountered here in Babbleland are pretty nice too. It is just so much easier to be nice than not. I don't get unfriendly people.

8:31 pm

Minveryork

Believe me, I do work w/some pretty unfriendly people!I also work with a lot of nice people too. It balances itself out I guess. Anyway, thank you again for the compliment

8:35 pm

Nef

I don't understand unfriendly people or negative people either. And sarcasm is downright mean in my book too.

8:47 pm

hurshy

it just comes out of pain, generally

8:47 pm

hurshy

did you see the thing with sarah silverman recently?

8:48 pm

Nef

My poor old cat is begging for attention right now; so I'll have to go sit in my lazy boy chair & brush her a while. She has an earache right now from a tumor; so she's a bit spoiled and gets special attention when she needs it. I'll be back after a bit.

8:48 pm

Nef

(sorry hurshy, I don't know who Sarah Silverman is)

8:49 pm

hurshy

she's a comedian

8:49 pm

hurshy

a guy commented on her twitter - just the c word, that's it

8:50 pm

hurshy

and she dug in to find out what was wrong, why he was being that way. and he was in a lot of pain and couldn't work, and so then maybe depressed and stuff - she got him hooked up with some back specialists who can help him...

8:51 pm

hurshy

it was just beautiful to read

8:52 pm

Minveryork

Think sarcasm is okay as long as it does not hurt another person's feelings.I work with a very sarcastic person,but I think she's so funny! Sarcasm can be comical sometimes

9:09 pm

Nef

Back. (Ashes only wanted a bit of comfort).

9:10 pm

Nef

That's quite interesting, hurshy; do you think that that's true of all nasty people?

9:14 pm

harpjane

hello

9:15 pm

Nef

Min, there are different types of sarcasm I think.When I worked in ICU; we often used black humor as a way to reduce stress.

9:15 pm

9:36 pm

Nef

So you figured out the 8 letter word, harp?

9:37 pm
