rubyfoo

Bonjour. Aftter a very big storm last night, l'm hoping that the heat wave has broken!

1:14 am

rubyfoo

afar

1:14 am

rubyfoo

sorry

1:15 am

Lizlin

Hi Ruby

1:17 am

rubyfoo

Hi liz. How is your water/rain situation? lt is hard to Watch th news; every night brings some new atrocity: Trump; fires, drought, floods

1:18 am

Lizlin

It's very dry here - a bit like Europe. In fact the brownness in Europe reminded me of Australia.

1:18 am

rubyfoo

l'mglad to be on my little hill in my little village, but feel sorry for everybody else.

1:19 am

Lizlin

I was reasonably near you this summer - but on a tour, so not able to visit.

1:19 am

rubyfoo

The "grass" crunches but the fish androsees continue to thrive.

1:20 am

rubyfoo

Next time, try to build in an extra couple of days.

1:20 am

Lizlin

That would be good. Not possible though - boat trip, so it goes at it's own speed.

1:20 am

Lizlin

Not possible this time, I meant.

1:21 am

Lizlin

Rogue apostrophe there too.

1:22 am

Lizlin

Saw some beautiful things though. Pont du Gard was my favourite in France.

1:22 am

rubyfoo

l understand, not to worry. My present, though comfortable, isn't much fun. All the adventures are in the past but, happily, well-documents

1:23 am

Lizlin

Sorry that you're not so comfortable right now. Memories of travels are good though.

1:23 am

rubyfoo

l love the Pont du Gard; l had an old friend who lived nearby and we used to swim (Wade, in my case) in the Gard.

1:24 am

Lizlin

Our breath was taken away as we walked around the corner and saw it.

1:24 am

sprite

good morning a

1:24 am

sprite

all

1:25 am

Lizlin

Hi and hugs Sprite

1:25 am

sprite

*hugs Liz* How are you and your beloved doing?

1:25 am

rubyfoo

l'm much better tan l was last year, but can't travel and would be reluctant to leave the dogs, anyway. Raffie had minor surgery this week and Rufe actally grieved while she wwwas gone, wouldn't eat or drink or come out from Under the hedge.

1:25 am

Lizlin

Still fighting jet lag and resenting it.

1:26 am

Lizlin

Oh - poor Raffie and poor Rufie - amazing that he grieved for her. He must've been very relieved when she came home.

1:26 am

Lizlin

That's one reason why we don't have dogs, Ruby.

1:27 am

rubyfoo

lt was sad and touching. He's a very sensitive boy

1:27 am

sprite

ugh yeah, jet lag is horrible. Not easy to get your body back into normal mode.

1:27 am

rubyfoo

Very true, Liz, but living alone in this big house would be difficult.

1:28 am

Lizlin

Jet lag is worth it though for the fantastic things we see when we travel.

1:28 am

Lizlin

I completely understand, Ruby. If I were alone, I might well get a dog. I love dogs.

1:28 am

sprite

indeed :) So glad you had another lovely journey, Liz.

1:29 am

sprite

our ro4 is in the grid, I see

1:29 am

Lizlin

It was amazing, Sprite. So many beautiful French villages and fantastic things in Italy. Very much bucket list for me - places I've never seen before even though I lived in London for so long.

1:30 am

Lizlin

Time for me to go - need to put on some warmer clothes. It's getting cooler now and then bread to continue making. Lovely chatting to you both.

1:30 am

sprite

wonderful, Liz. I enjoy your enthusiasm, it is catching :D

1:32 am

rubyfoo

bye liz, you can dream of dangling your feet in thr Gard!

1:32 am

rubyfoo

rahs

1:32 am

sprite

2:07 am

jaianniah

2:08 am

sprite

take another NOW, rose. Please. Do not sit there suffering for nothing.

2:08 am

jaianniah

{{{{{{{Hugs for all}}}}}}}!!!!!

2:08 am

Kamanjah

Where are you, jai?

2:08 am

grannyrose

but the good news is... new specialist is hoping a simple medication will help me with the heavy perspiration. i have already taken first dose.

2:09 am

sprite

oh wow rose! I hope you will react well to it and it will help you. That is wonderful.

2:09 am

grannyrose

{{{ jai}}}} too scary sweetie. our farmers are despairing of making it through our drought.

2:09 am

jaianniah

Pennsylvania.... I have the opposite problem fro you. We are building arms here fur to too much rain. I wish I could send you some. Truly I do.

2:09 am

jaianniah

*arks

2:10 am

jaianniah

Correctabitch is at it again....

2:10 am

Kamanjah

oh, wouldn't it be nice to even out the weather?!!! I'm just sick of smoke and I got ashed good today. My poor car is a mess

2:11 am

Kamanjah

hahaha - i have a friend who calls the bitch "Otto"

2:11 am

grannyrose

the farmers to the north of my state, Victoria, have started to sell their sheep and lambs as they cannot feed them, or get enough water to the flocks.

2:11 am

sprite

sure would, Kam

2:11 am

sprite

that is sad, rose :(

2:12 am

jaianniah

Had a very bad day yesterday. My eye blew up. Guess the aqueous humor splits from eye back at some point in life. And we raced around getting my stupid foot tested for MRSA.

2:12 am

sprite

aw jai :( That is not good. How did it all end?

2:12 am

Kamanjah

geez, that's not a good thing at all.

2:13 am

grannyrose

awww jai. that's almost more tan one person can bear. i hope the results for your foot come back negative.

2:13 am

jaianniah

Here's to a teeter weather hotter for evening out weather in Trumpsylvania....

2:13 am

jaianniah

*totter

2:13 am

jaianniah

Grrr....

2:14 am

jaianniah

No, my foot is definitely infected. It started draining.

2:14 am

jaianniah

Antibiotic onboard

2:15 am

sprite

worrisome, jai

2:15 am

jaianniah

TY granny. I really love y'all. You are such a nice bunch. Wouldn't it be great to meet in some place and par-tee????

2:16 am

jaianniah

Yes, worries aplenty. Been there done this....many times. Sigh.

2:17 am

sprite

*prayers going up for jai* May this whole mess pass quickly and fully

2:17 am

sprite

it would. Did you know Rose and her beloved spent a week here with us, and we traveled through france for a few more days after

2:17 am

jaianniah

Yes. But I have more worries for Jam than myself. I despise smoke and heat.

2:17 am

Kamanjah

Hope the antibiotics work quickly. Sepsis is no joke, gotta avoid!

2:18 am

grannyrose

yes jai, it would be great if we all could get together... so long as the ingredients for sprite's sangria spiker are available... loll

2:18 am

sprite

*giggles* I promise, rose. Will provide the spiker.

2:18 am

jaianniah

No, really???? I would have come. I speak le Francis. In peut.

2:19 am

grannyrose

it was hysterical jai. ask sprite about the GPS sending us down a footpath...

2:19 am

sprite

yes, for real. We connected even more, it was amazing. Our guys too.

2:19 am

jaianniah

No spikes for me. 37+ years of sober wonderful life...But would enjoy watching y'all amateurs drink....

2:20 am

grannyrose

roflolll... you get to take the pics, jai

2:20 am

jaianniah

Wade and I ended up in the depths of a PA forest thanks to GPS... Giggles.

2:20 am

sprite

omg that GPS. A footpad, you know, where even a person afoot could hardly turn around. And we were sent on it and poor Don had to turn the car around. He managed. Cursed a blue streak, lol, but he did it.

2:21 am

sprite

oh wow, jai, that is really something. Good job, you! One day at a time, right?

2:21 am

grannyrose

and good for you, jai... i know what hard work it is to stop a bad habit. i gave up smoking nearly 8years ago.

2:21 am

jaianniah

Okay. Pics are okay. Do you remember the virtual hot tub???? We got pretty virtually silly....

2:21 am

sprite

addictions are tough to battle, for sure

2:21 am

Kamanjah

OMG, Rose, you actually drove a car on a foot path? I hope you realized in time that the GPS was confused! I took a google route once to a concert...and I was in the orchestra...it was a freaking dirt road!

2:21 am

jaianniah

ODAT, absolutely!â˜†â˜†â˜†â˜†

2:22 am

jaianniah

Jam, what do you play??? I play viola and violin...

2:22 am

grannyrose

lollllll, kam

2:22 am

jaianniah

*Kam

2:22 am

sprite

:D I am trying to overcome my compulsive eating addiction. Going to OA meetings and all.

2:22 am

Kamanjah

Viola and violin...

2:23 am

sprite

omg really? You guys HAVE to meet up!

2:23 am

jaianniah

Hahahaha!!!!! String players are always in tune with life.....

2:23 am

Kamanjah

I even have a 5 string violin, so it's both

2:24 am

grannyrose

hahahaha.... are you sure you're not highly strung ??

2:24 am

sprite

lol rose!

2:24 am

jaianniah

Say HAPPY hopeful prayers. I have pitched a movie to Imagine Ent., and may have to go to make land for my interview.....

2:24 am

jaianniah

Very highly strung....

2:24 am

grannyrose

mind you, you get to get a strangle hold on the 'neck' of your instruments.

2:25 am

jaianniah

Go to la la land

2:25 am

sprite

Happy hopeful prayers, hun, all the way

2:25 am

sprite

rose is on a roll :D

2:26 am

jaianniah

Thanks. It's a long shot, but I got an email from The Big Ron yesterday....Truly.

2:26 am

sprite

that is amazing, jai. Who knows!

2:26 am

grannyrose

ooohhh, prayers for a wonderful outcome, jai

2:26 am

jaianniah

Really. At least I am finally trying really hard.

2:27 am

grannyrose

don says i am trying..... very trying.... loll

2:27 am

sprite

have faith in yourself, jai. Feel inside like it already happened exactly the way you hoped and be grateful for it. Works a treat.

2:27 am

jaianniah

Jam, email me for my phone number. We have got to talk!!!!!

2:28 am

sprite

*gently kicks Don in the behind* Pot, kettle, you know the drill!

2:28 am

jaianniah

Crud. The Hitch keeps switching Kam to Jam... Grrr. I am so sorry.

2:28 am

sprite

jai and Kam need to get together for some jam sessions.

2:28 am

Kamanjah

Otto has a mind of his own

2:29 am

jaianniah

Mozart violin viola duets!!!! Except my expensive viola was stolen, and I don't have $$$$ to replace.

2:29 am

jaianniah

Yes.

2:30 am

Kamanjah

bummer, that really sucks. I still have the viola my dad bought for me back when 9th grade graduation was a thing. It's pretty ok with good strings.

2:30 am

jaianniah

Bragging here. I was President of my High School orchestra, no mean accomplishment for a violist. Blush.

2:31 am

Kamanjah

I've never had anyone to play viola duets with, so I have learned the Bach cello suites

2:31 am

grannyrose

speaking of names for things... DH used to call our GPS Beryl, my mother's name, as it was always telling us how and where to drive.... just like my mother.... i had to keep reminding him not to say that when she was in the car...loll

2:31 am

sprite

roflolllllll oh priceless

2:31 am

jaianniah

Nice!!! I can transpose easily, so I just use violin duets.

2:32 am

Kamanjah

I got to share a stand with the first violist from the San Francisco symphony once - he actually complimented me

2:32 am

jaianniah

I love it! Beryl!!!

2:32 am

Kamanjah

that's funny, Rose!

2:33 am

jaianniah

Nice! My fellow violet is a Professor at U of Idaho now. I went to see him years ago.

2:33 am

grannyrose

or its other name is Fred..... F..laming R....idiculous E...lectronic D...evice.

2:33 am

jaianniah

Haha haha

2:34 am

sprite

Fred is not a bad name for it. Mind you, here in the netherlands it works very well, Rose. We enjoy it tremendously.

2:34 am

jaianniah

Gotta go. Tired . See y'all tomorrow night. Jam, email me. It's in my profile....

2:35 am

sprite

fellow violet, lol

2:35 am

jaianniah

Kam.....grrrrr

2:35 am

grannyrose

jai, for pete's sake, please turn off the spell check... or not.... it is very amusing to see what it thinks you mean to type... loll

2:35 am

sprite

night night, jai. Prayers for your health.

2:35 am

jaianniah

Yes. Too pooped to autocorrect the autocorrect.....

2:35 am

It's MUCH cooler today and they're expecting rain - which is a bummer, as we're off to a folk festival this afternoon - three days in a field (though I'm not an idiot; we're sleeping in a hotel)

3:46 am

grannyrose

3:47 am

Oh wow - well, we are a small island - the festival itself is in Cropredy

3:53 am

zoozzoom

4:03 am

zoozzoom

Now someone who had massive eye brows almost covering his eyes was a guy call denis healey from many years ago. A poilitician back in the days.

4:03 am

zoozzoom

In the end he turn the ends upwards. It did look daft.

4:04 am

zoozzoom

Okay ((Rose)) Nice to see you and take care!

4:10 am

zoozzoom

I see 'Hagrid' from Harry Potter nearly made it into the grid :-)

4:18 am

4:26 am

mattygroves

Those As are killing me

4:26 am

zoozzoom

I know I keep entering the As I already have from the top A lol

4:28 am

mattygroves

I only have 3 As from the top and one each from the other two

4:28 am

zoozzoom

I have sfive from the top one.

4:28 am

mattygroves

mattygroves

Oooh - nice clue!

zoozzoom

I have 3 on the next A and 4 on the one next to it. that will have to do on those for now.

4:35 am

mattygroves

You are cleverer than I!

4:36 am

zoozzoom

AR + cover on head then plural

4:36 am

mattygroves

I have sighs, a long way away, getting old, riding, long one, and crafts

4:36 am

mattygroves

Oh god, that one! I should have seen that!

4:37 am

zoozzoom

top A there is AR 4/8

4:37 am

mattygroves

OK, that would have eventually been a monkey job. Thanks!

4:38 am

zoozzoom

4:40 am

mattygroves

Ooh - found an ag5...

zoozzoom

THe plural?

zoozzoom

Ah thanks! got it now.

much nice grid today :) first pass through - nbt and nbs and 79 to go!

7:43 am

Scrabbler

Go HH, go!

7:43 am

Scrabbler

I have found 87 and am moving very slowly now.

7:45 am

HarryHood

need to get an early start today - lots of stuff to do.

7:45 am

HarryHood

i'll be in your neighborhood next week scrab - taking my daughter to binghamton and ithaca

7:46 am

Scrabbler

I am southeast of Buffalo, but you will be near Featherbee.

7:46 am

Scrabbler

College visits?

7:46 am

HarryHood

yes :) we're going to visit my son in camp in PA on s

7:46 am

HarryHood

sunday, and then college visits on monday

7:47 am

Scrabbler

SUNY Binghamton is an excellent school, and Cornell, of course.

7:47 am

HarryHood

yes those 2. but I think binghamton is her safety - she'd prefer U of Maryland

7:48 am

Scrabbler

Another great school. So many choices--near/far, big city/small town, big university/small school.

7:48 am

HarryHood

I'm also going to try to teach her to drive stick shift on this trip.

7:48 am

Scrabbler

$--$$$$$

7:48 am

Scrabbler

I never learned that skill.

7:49 am

HarryHood

yes and we live in Boston, which has lots and lots of $$$$$$ schools

7:50 am

rubyfoo

My first husband taught history at Bing.

7:50 am

rubyfoo

L lived therre for a long time

7:50 am

HarryHood

that's a crazy conicidence ruby

7:50 am

HarryHood

we're going to stay there overnight sunday

7:51 am

rubyfoo

l loved Binghamton except in winter

7:52 am

Scrabbler

Hi Ruby

7:52 am

rubyfoo

l taught elementary art

7:52 am

rubyfoo

Hi scrabs

7:52 am

Scrabbler

Does your daughter have a major in mind, HH?

7:52 am

HarryHood

very much undecided

7:52 am

HarryHood

she's thinking sciences

7:52 am

rubyfoo

Weskied at Greek Peak

7:53 am

Scrabbler

So many choices. And future job must be considered.

7:53 am

HarryHood

I think we've scared her away from pre-med, thankfully

7:54 am

Scrabbler

No, great options exist in medicine.

7:54 am

HarryHood

it's a tough life, and getting tougher, being a clinical md

7:55 am

HarryHood

I'm all for socialized medicine, but it's going to be a very rough transition period if we're going in that direction

7:55 am

rubyfoo

l wanted medical school but there wasn't enough $$

7:55 am

HarryHood

and if not, the paperwork and patient counts that the companies demand are nuts these days

7:56 am

Scrabbler

Yes, there are many hassles, but many privileges and honors.

7:56 am

HarryHood

One needs to weigh those versus all the additional schooling and expense. It has to be a calling.

7:56 am

Scrabbler

I saw one of my 5 year patients in the supermarket 2 days ago and she invited me to her birthday party. She sees me as a friend.

7:57 am

HarryHood

that's sweet.

7:57 am

HarryHood

my wife did md/phd. It was a difficult period

7:59 am

HarryHood

are you solo practice scrab?

7:59 am

Scrabbler

Yes, very tough path for the dual degree. What is her PhD in?

7:59 am

HarryHood

neurosci

7:59 am

Scrabbler

Group practice in rural area--6 docs, 3 midlevels. Oldest doc will be 74 in 2 weeks and will probably retire at the end of the year.

8:00 am

Scrabbler

And her specialty?

8:00 am

HarryHood

neuro.

8:00 am

HarryHood

but she jumped over to pharm about 7 years ago.

8:00 am

Scrabbler

Cool. I am a migraineur so read up on that often.

8:00 am

HarryHood

though she still volunteers at the VA clinic

8:00 am

Scrabbler

So what does she do now?

8:01 am

HarryHood

neuro stuff for big pharma.

8:01 am

Scrabbler

We have a PA that will likely retire in a year or two, and the sooner the better. Another PA is so-so. I love our NP--VERY thorough and bright.

8:02 am

HarryHood

do the docs own the practice?

8:02 am

Scrabbler

I fear for the future of primary care with midlevels in charge.

8:02 am

Scrabbler

Yes, private practice. When oldest partner retires he gets a payout, and newest partner will likely be ready to buy in.

8:03 am

HarryHood

yes I've been hearing lost of complaints about PAs and RNs taking over

8:03 am

HarryHood

well that's much nicer than corporate ownership

8:03 am

Scrabbler

Most do not know what they don't know, and their training pales in comparison to residency.

8:04 am

jmcnrick

hi all

8:04 am

HarryHood

I'd imagine so. Though the ones I've been seeing have been wonderful.

8:05 am

HarryHood

hi jmc good morning

8:05 am

jmcnrick

I am guessing the P word is medical in nature

8:06 am

HarryHood

You do hear lots of horror stories from experienced physicians about nurse practicioners who think they can run the show.

8:06 am

Scrabbler

JM--how nice to see you here.

8:06 am

HarryHood

it's a babblet of sorts, jmc

morning, scrabs. More remodeling adventures today?

8:25 am

Scrabbler

One guy is doing grout on new tiles. He needed the other guys to be done so they weren't walking around.

8:26 am

My new flooring is being installed next week. Can't wait for it to be done. Been living with bare tile for a month.

8:26 am

8:27 am

Scrabbler

My house looks like a new house to me. So different and transformed.

8:28 am

Scrabbler

I have to decide how to arrange the furniture, what to keep, what to donate, what to buy, where to put area rugs, etc

8:29 am

origami

I need to do a major purge.

8:30 am

Scrabbler

I have been doing that--many donations and discards. Less to own means less to take care of.

8:31 am

Scrabbler

And less stuff here makes the home look larger.

8:33 am

8:48 am

Aloyisius

8:49 am

Scrabbler

Aloy, read the website "being minimalist" by Joshua Becker. It inspired me. Basically, own less so you have less to take care of.

8:49 am

rururocks

:D Just making sure you haven't offered to give them a medical check up scrabs

8:49 am

Scrabbler

Free hernia checks and testicular exams.

8:50 am

Aloyisius

ok, writing that down.. LOL Scrabs!

8:50 am

One guy was my patient when he was a kid and now I take care of his 3 daughters.

9:02 am

Scrabbler

Nice, Eva.

9:03 am

Scrabbler

I cannot figure out the ending to or8. Not tic, or pod

9:03 am

rururocks

it's a plural scrabs

9:04 am

Scrabbler

NM, same ending as ar9

9:04 am

Scrabbler

Hemophiliacs get hem-ar9 from bleeding into their joints.

9:07 am

rururocks

that'd be a drag to be a hemophiliac

9:09 am

Scrabbler

Management is better than it used to be. One of my patients from the 80's acquired HIV and died as a teen.

9:11 am

rururocks

that's terrible

9:12 am

Scrabbler

Yes. Brian was a nice kid.

9:15 am

Aloyisius

fw, interesting grid today.. will leave you with a newbie (for me anyway). Ha7.44 is the pt of a word that means "to harass". Start off with a gnarly old woman and end with the first four letters of a cowboy contest. Must scoot, nice seeing you all.. have a great Thursday!

i still dont have that A 9 word. i have the flower but what is the ending?

9:31 am

It is even worse now--sad, angry, lost kids diagnosed with ODD, bipolar, depression, ADHD when really these kids need love, support, and discipline. The polypharmacy is frightening.

Hi Trif. You see feral kids as a teacher. It is so sad, isn't it?

9:36 am

Trifioso

it is.

9:36 am

Trifioso

self-rearing children rarely do well

9:36 am

Scrabbler

No, then the culture raises the child and that is dangerous.

9:37 am

Trifioso

I just got the "thanks but no thanks" letter for a new job that I REALLY wanted, so feeling a bit blue at the moment. I am going to be VERY sad for a bit, then dust myself off and carry on.

9:38 am

Scrabbler

There are hundreds of kids that I want to adopt.

9:38 am

Scrabbler

Oh, no. Yes, move on.

9:38 am

Judi

Good morning, all. Well, at least they had the common courtesy to let you know, Trif.

9:39 am

Trifioso

doesnt' feel very courteous at the moment. they sent a generic email. I feel like the music stopped and I have no chair.

9:39 am

Judi

:-/

9:40 am

Trifioso

leaving on a short vacation today too, which I am glad of, but now I REALLY can't afford. Feeling highly sorry for myself - will pass soon, but wallowing in it for a brief bit.

9:41 am

Trifioso

I am chastised by what scrabbler wrote, in the best possible way - there are MANY worse things in life....

9:41 am

So true, Trif. Please enjoy your vacation.

8:11 pm

8:11 pm

8:13 pm

nrkii

8:13 pm

HarryHood

8:13 pm

8:17 pm

nrkii

Down to 21, and as always it is the 5 and 6 letter words that confound me. 17 of the 21 are those... sigh.

8:18 pm

jwr

Agreed. Some people are so good at bi-babbling, they can have a chat and play at one time without a pause.

8:19 pm

jwr

nrkii, do you go through your list on automatic trying out pre and suffixes

8:20 pm

nrkii

I haven't gone to the list yet. I go through each tile one at a time and try to get to only 1 or 2 unsolved on a tile before I move to the next one.

8:20 pm

nrkii

Somehow, the 5s and 6s just never come easy, even though I add the plurals and pts and all that.

8:21 pm

jwr

not The List nrkii, your word list to the right of the grid

8:21 pm

nrkii

ah, sometimes, but it mostly just makes me dizzy to look at that... I do better if I do it in real time

8:22 pm

nrkii

just found a 5 and a 6, getting there

8:26 pm

jwr

ah, of course. I know what you mean. It's my next to last resort before Lickety. My last always works, though, especially if your brain has gotten used to fixing on the grid. Go away. Come back later

8:28 pm

jwr

And now I take my own advice, leaving 69 unfound words behind me. .... Love your icon, nrkii. Bye all.

8:28 pm

bye!
