12:13 am
Lizlin
We loved it. Think she's good and can already see her easily as the doctor.
12:14 am
hurshy
oh i definitely liked HER, the other aspects of the episode maybe could have been improved. and grace would've made the best companion, i wish we could have kept HER
12:14 am
TraderKate
Such a huge change may take aq few shows to get used to...
12:14 am
hurshy
when graham said "she should be here and not me" i was like, yes, i agree with you.
12:14 am

Reviews said that Grace was a recurring role - but that could be a red herring.
12:15 am

We're all capable of the most incredible change. We can evolve while still staying true to who we are. We can honor who we've been, and choose who we want to be next.

12:26 am
hurshy
could be ringworm fungus, otherwise maybe weird allergy? not sure.
12:26 am
TraderKate
I hope it clears quickly... it's a bugger for the poor critters :(
12:27 am
hurshy
yeah it'll take weeks... but i ordered her a nicer softer cone instead of the medical plastic one
12:28 am
hurshy
i felt really bad earlier, she seemed so depressed about it. but now she's lain down to sleep, seems comfortable enough and ok with life.

A lot of people just leave their pets behind. If it really looks bad is there no one who can take you and your pets to a safer place?
3:42 am

Thanks so much, zooz. It will be scary but hopefully the wind will slow somewhat as it nears.
3:44 am
zoozzoom
Hope that is the case then, Gapeach. I will keep an eye on the news for the next couple of days and see how it is going for you.
3:44 am
gapeach
Yes, I know that about leaving pets behind....mine are elderly rescues....one is diabetic and has to have insulin every 12 hours. So, if I have to leave they will go with me.
3:45 am

Thanks, zooz. I need that.
3:45 am

had a great time when i was there - thought it might be a place to relocate, but things went sideways
9:26 am
lshult
now i fancy a beer
9:27 am
moolingwa
haven't made it to Lucile's yet, but it's on my list...not sure my 7 year old will like it though...so that's been a limiting factor
9:27 am
welki
almost happy hour in israel :)
9:27 am
moolingwa
well gotta go do some work or something
9:27 am
moolingwa
have a good one
9:28 am
welki
it was a long time ago, mool, but i recall it being expensive; probably something for you and the missus when your daughter's at a sleepover
9:28 am
lshult
always happy hour :)
9:28 am
welki
you too, have a good day
9:28 am
lshult
working though :(
9:30 am
welki
ishult, did we talk a long time ago about therapy horseback riding?
9:31 am
lshult
possibly, both my boys did it many moons ago
9:31 am
lshult
they do it at a neighbouring kibbutz
9:36 am
welki
off for a bit - enjoy your day (and that cold beer after work)

5:32 pm
harpjane
hello, just checking in, 53 to go
5:32 pm
MollyL
If you read over the chat, the mo6 clue was corrected to no6
6:09 pm
helenkeller
Yeah, mkg, don't ask for help here. Just read the damn chat!
6:10 pm
helenkeller
Seriously woman, do you have any idea of how condescending you come across? Why couldn't you just have answered her question straight out? As opposed to trying to point out someone, in your eyes, as not being 'attentive' to the chat.
6:38 pm
harpjane
what are the stats for the 9 please?
6:39 pm
MollyL
Sorry to upset you Helen. I was just trying to direct mkg to the clue correction that would help her find the word.
6:42 pm

I'll take a clue, harpjane

Just dropped back in...got it...thanks welki!
7:18 pm
rururocks
Helen. That was not in anyway a condescending statement you are always ready to pounce on the chat and create a fuss out of fucking nothing. Do us all a favor and pull your schtick on sudoku and leave the chat here aline
7:18 pm
rururocks
Alone. I mean
7:22 pm
rururocks
Such crap. And so unnecessary
7:59 pm

Looks like I missed a convo!

that's good ruru, we are getting the rain!

Hi folks, almost forgot to circle back to finish :)
8:19 pm

Hi Jen :)
How' the grid going for ou?
8:20 pm
TraderKate
other than all the Es, that is
8:20 pm
JenMO16
It's okay, I have 63 on my own.
8:21 pm
TraderKate
I have Lickety opened...
8:22 pm
JenMO16
I'm about to open it myself!
8:27 pm
helenkeller
First ruru, this is what is called an 'A & B conversation, kindly 'C' your way out.
8:30 pm
helenkeller
To the woman with the inappropriate social manners, here's a suggestion (you ought to be able to accept them, you hand them out left & right). Someone asked for a clue. Your response was, "If you read over the chat, the mo6 clue was corrected to no6." The more appropriate and helpful response would have been - "There is no mo6, do you need a clue for the no6?" That's how it's done. You made another veiled insult at someone. I am going to call you on it every time. You're welcome..
8:31 pm
TraderKate
Looks like things haven't changed much... i won't weigh in because I am still finishing the grid and have not seen the chat.
8:31 pm
helenkeller
Also, to be crystal clear for everyone here: Neither ruru, nor Molly own the chat. The chat is for everyone. She has chased away way too many long timers & that's just wrong.
8:32 pm
helenkeller
That's cool TK, just chatting away here - as is my right.
8:34 pm
TraderKate
I am sorry to see that the creeping insidiousness continues. The chat was so much fun before my PC died.
8:35 pm
rururocks
She has said nothong for over three months
8:36 pm
TraderKate
I was very glad to see her giving clues back in July, but that's the last I was on before I went dark. :(
8:37 pm
helenkeller
So, what's your point? She said something today. There's a much better way to say what she did, without making someone feel bad. It's not like she was on probation or anything.
8:40 pm
TraderKate
I will look at it later. I shouldn't comment when I don't know what's been going on here
8:43 pm
ChampFit
This grid is annoying me beyond words. Everything looks the same!
8:44 pm
TraderKate
Same here Champ... I am up to my eyeballs in morewords trying to find RE words....going crosseyed!
8:44 pm
helenkeller
Yep, all those E's & N' all look the same, lol.
8:45 pm
ChampFit
CRAP...just realized I'm missing an E. the rest are P, R and S. GAHHHH!
8:49 pm
boatierra
I've always found MollyL's style to be helpful and never condescending, including 'If you read over the chat, the mo6 clue was corrected to no6.' Nobody here is trying to be a jerk about clues. Nuance is often lost in straight text. I thought the clue was straight forward and helpful.
8:51 pm
helenkeller
You are, of course, welcome to your own opinion boatierra. I completely disagree. I am not alone.
8:51 pm
ChampFit
I didn't read it as rude either.
8:52 pm
HarryHood
just got here and read it over. I thought Molly was appropriately guiding mkg to the clue. Not everybody's style in this is the same, and you need to exercise a little more patience, hk.
8:53 pm
rururocks
Exactly boat. It was meant as a helpful comment since mkg was oblivious to bojazzs next post. Helen just likes to grab at straws and create problems out of nothing as it fits her agenda
8:54 pm
rururocks
And for the record i don’t own the chat. I am not here enough to begin with
9:01 pm
ChampFit
FW! Last word so5/12. Good luck for a peaceful finish, all!

Congratulations Champ!!!
9:06 pm

I am not a big yankee fan, but I really hope the red sox lose this. I can't stand living in Boston when the local teams win.
9:08 pm
TraderKate
Haha... long season Harry?
9:09 pm
HarryHood
they're pretty tame during the season, but the postseason can be tedious. the fans are very....vocal.
9:11 pm
Trifioso
HARRY! you crush me!
9:12 pm
HarryHood
oh dear. I didn't realize there was another boston person here....
9:12 pm
helenkeller
No HH, not exercising patience. When she attacked me, she made a mistake. Her first words to me were snarky and so about the wrong thing, for me. You are welcome to read in the chat records how that went down, it was on the 4th of July. In addition to the support I received in the chat, I got well over 40 e-mails & pm's on FB, thanking me, telling me how she has cowed people, turned them away from the chat. I'm talking old timers, people who've been on here over a dozen years. This was huge news to me. So, don't expect any patience from me. I will call her out each and every time. I am not interested in discussing this with anyone else.
9:13 pm
HarryHood
OK hk - you are within your rights to do as you wish.
9:14 pm
helenkeller
Thanks HH, I appreciate & respect that.
9:14 pm
HarryHood
trif, I'm sorry, I just have all these kids at school who get all hyped up and obnoxious when their teams are in the playoffs.
9:15 pm
HarryHood
and my school is half a mile from both Tom Brady and Bob Kraft's houses.
9:15 pm
Trifioso
me too, but I dont mind so much when it is the Red Sox - its more the pats fans that bug me
9:16 pm
Trifioso
my school is a mile from bill's lololol
9:17 pm
HarryHood
I'm a Mets fan, so I rarely have an opportunity to gloat :)
9:17 pm
HarryHood
and a buffalo bills fan, even worse.
9:17 pm
Trifioso
Secondo got to go to a mets game this summer, right after she moved to brooklyn, and had a fine time!
9:17 pm
Trifioso
if that helps?
9:18 pm
HarryHood
I was at the new citi field in the summer, but didn't go to a game...used to go to lots of games at shea stadium.
9:18 pm
helenkeller
Oh, but HH, Mets fan, you had a huge opportunity to gloat in 1969, granted, that was a long time ago, but your team earned it's moniker that year.
9:19 pm
HarryHood
I was almost 3, so didn't gloat much :) 1986 was more like it.
9:19 pm
helenkeller
LOL Poor HH, no, not the Bills. Oh dear, 4 in a row - how ???
9:19 pm
TraderKate
Laughing at HH... I'm up in Bills territory - the way it';s covered nonstop for 10 months of the years, you'd think they won the Superbowl three years running....and there are lots of BB fans here ;)
9:19 pm
harpjane
1986 was horrible! I still have nightmares about that wild pitch!
9:20 pm
rururocks
and now you've become ten times worse than you profess her to be HK.. you're ruder than anyone else here lately
9:20 pm
helenkeller
HH, I am a little older than you & from Chicago. It was the Cubs that so very much helped to make those the Amazing Mets - just trampled the Cubbies.
9:20 pm

this is the year for the bills. I can feel it.

HH is retreating into a bucket of ice cream.. so early in the Bills' seson... this does not bode well ;)
9:29 pm

Poor HH, a Bill's fan. He's the first I've ever met. A less than 1% chance of winning the SuperBowl - that's gonna be a rough season.
