5:49 am
Scrabbler
I saw a lot of FB posts, young lady.
5:51 am
TraderKate
Catching up, crawling walls generates several posts.
Ontario election, US election, Brexit... to say nothing of all those cute critter opics that begged for posting.argh! I plead insanity!
5:53 am
Scrabbler
I had 2 raccoons right outside my window here 2 nights ago. They were climbing on the birdfeeders. I opened the window to scare them off and they just stared at me. They were adorable.
5:54 am
TraderKate
(^_^)
Melting heart... gotta love those fat-bottomed bandits <3 They ahve your number Scrabs :D
5:55 am
Scrabbler
They know where the buffets are.
5:55 am

Saw that you have had a little unpleasant taste of winter .. . what a shock!
5:56 am
Scrabbler
I dressed in more layers for this game than last Friday's when I froze.
5:57 am
Scrabbler
There was no athletic trainer at this game so I was on my own. I sent 4 boys home with their parents: 3 concussions and 1 wrist injury.
5:58 am
TraderKate
It was a surprise, wasn't it? Hadn't seen anything about it n the weather reports... did you get any this morning?
5:58 am
sprite
good morning all
5:58 am
Scrabbler
Hello sprite!
5:58 am

and that's only jr. high? That's a lot of pain.. and concussions so early oh boy :(
5:58 am
sprite
hiya Scrabs! How are you?
5:59 am
TraderKate
Hi spritey :)
We weren't due for any, but they did call for a chance in the southern tier this AM - jsut a dusting
5:59 am
Scrabbler
These boys (12-13) cry when they get hurt. Sadly as boys get older they no longer cry when they are hurt, they try to conceal injuries.
6:00 am
Scrabbler
I am well, sprite. How are you doing?
6:00 am
sprite
am really well, Scrabs, thanks!
6:00 am

Kate, our house is officially for sale! Within 2 hours, there were already 5 people who made an appointment to come look.
6:01 am
Scrabbler
Nice. Do you have a new house ready to buy?
6:02 am
TraderKate
Woohoo!!! so, the brochure was approved and already put to work :)
6:02 am
sprite
no. We are gonna build a tiny house. While doing that, we will live in a caravan, if possible. Which we can buy once the money from the house come available. So step by step.
6:02 am
Scrabbler
Good planning.
6:02 am
sprite
yes :) A few minor corrections needed, and after that, it went up.
6:05 am
sprite
germit - highly unsanitary recluse
6:05 am
TraderKate
sorry to read about the boys Scrabs. When reporting injury keeps you out, it's no wonder they don't want to let on they're hurt. :(
6:06 am
Scrabbler
But we spot the limping, the cradling of arms, the grabbing of heads.

Woo hoo bichon, can't wait!
Hi gramma and ruby :)

I'll just call in sick.
6:50 am
TraderKate
so, Pat.... why so long away from the fold?
(Sorry about Pedro, it's always hard when you lose a guardcat)
6:52 am
Patxxx
I tried to say Hi, the sun is shining here but my cat Coco, who wants all the attention, jumped on my keyboard. Not a surprise but I shall have to watch out for her. Bank to Babble.
6:54 am
TraderKate
Tee hee, perhaps yo can chat more when Empress Victoria, er Coco, is taking her rest? ;)
6:59 am
Patxxx
Yes, I still miss Pedro who was Coco's brother. She usually has better manners than he had but she is demanding attention today. I was missing through various illnesses much of it from my rheumatic joints. Hard to type when you feel like chopping some fingers off! My Labrador is also now old and slow like me but he doesn't try to run across the keyboards like Coco does.
7:01 am
BzznBea
One of our feral cats is named CoCo. Is yours a calico?
7:03 am
TraderKate
Our critters never really leave us do they..always some reminder. I wonder if Coco is pleased to be the queen of all she surveys now - no other feling competition!
7:17 am
Patxxx
Please keep the noise down as I think Coco has now gone to sleep!
7:19 am
TraderKate
Haha... we musn't disturb her!
No worries, I'm sure there are many glad of your clues!

I just acquired a new dog - a rescue - from someone's meat platter - he's fairly young so full of pep!!! which I am not, however I've managed to keep up with him. He's quite tiny will try to find out his breed
11:10 am
sprite
oh wow, good job, flosey. He may keep you young :)
11:10 am

I hope he will settle soon and calm down a bit
11:16 am
bichon
Still a puppy
11:17 am
flosey
thanks Sprite - although it isn't terribly bothersome - he is so loving
11:17 am
flosey
and yes bichon, we must remember he is quite young
11:17 am
sprite
it is usually a good sign when they are boisterous. Better than when they are docile.
11:20 am
flosey
yes Sprite, he is in good health, fortunately - I rather doubt they'd ship an ailing dog,
11:21 am
sprite
my daughter has adopted a rescue pup too, he just stayed with us for a few days while she was visiting her brother in scotland. He is coming along beautifully (the dog), very relaxed and trusting, she is doing a great job with him.
11:22 am
flosey
lovely, Sprite - you may become quite attached
11:23 am
sprite
oh, we already told her we'd keep him. She wasn't having any though, lolll.
11:23 am

My rescue pup is now 11. What a mess he was when we first got him. Now, an angel
11:24 am
sprite
so sweet, bichon
11:24 am

lucky, Bichon - but of course it's thanks to your loving and caring
11:26 am
bichon
We got two brothers. They had been living on the streets. Wild. Bit one of them became a biter and we had to return him
11:27 am
sprite
it is a bit of both, I think. How you love and train them is very important. But you have to be lucky with the character too.

tnarg, we had the FUNNIEST thing happen at work....more of an audible, but I think I can get it across....we have a wonderful teacher, a new transplant from NC. She could NOT figure out what our VERY Bostonian secretary was trying to say to her today. The secretary was earnestly trying to explain that the new teacher needed to turn in her "tahdicahds" every day. Poor woman...we finally had to spell it for her - tardy cards.

do you use expert? if you do, you shouldn't have a problem, since you can repopulate the grid with words you've entered. i usually use a mac, so can't use expert

You would think that you could find ANY word in this thing!
9:23 pm
Nef
Doing okay but putting words in the grid that it keeps telling me aren't words all of a sudden
9:23 pm
Pinikula
My monkeys are trying anything and everything in the hopes that something sticks!!!
9:25 pm
Nef
same here; but between typos and "creative spelling" I've now found less than 100 words in the last hour (when I started)
9:26 pm
Pinikula
finding in the range of 100 in an hour is pretty impressive! If I keep going at that rate, I'll beat the flip!
9:27 pm
Nef
No, I just started an hour ago; I doubt if I found any words in the past 10 minutes.
9:27 pm
Pinikula
OH!! my bad...well, let me know which words I should hunt for (or clue if I have them)!
9:28 pm
Nef
Umm; how about cluing the other 317 words then? ;-D
9:29 pm

ROFL - in both our dreams, nef!
9:29 pm

DANG!! My computer froze when I opened Lickety! I wonder if that's a warning?
9:50 pm
Pinikula
Well, that's not good, Nef...has it come up for you yet?
9:51 pm

Yes, it came up quite fast (surprisingly!)
9:51 pm

Oh, thank goodness!

Aarrgh! tonight even using the list I can't think! I just had to us MoreWords to find er4/4! How dense can I get?
