1:53 am

*hugs Kam* Hello dear one! Sounds good. How was your day?

1:54 am

Kamanjah

Good! How was yours?

1:54 am

Lizlin

Hi all and hugs

1:57 am

sprite

*hugs Liz* Good to see you. Did you have a good day? How is the weather?

1:57 am

Lizlin

Lovely to both.

1:57 am

sprite

yay :)

1:58 am

Lizlin

Not too hot. Lovely breeze by the ocean this morning.

1:58 am

sprite

Liz, I am reading the Judge Dee series and I am not happy with the quality of the scans. Am gonna pretty them up and redrop them in our folder, okay?

1:59 am

Lizlin

OK. Thanks

1:59 am

Lizlin

Iâ€™m now on the Nightwatcher series.

2:11 am

sprite

and once again I tried 'snew' as past tense of to snow

2:11 am

Kamanjah

That's the (un)logic of the English language, Sprite!

2:12 am

sprite

absolutely. And the unlogic of my own mind on top of that :D

2:12 am

Lizlin

I always try snaw.

2:12 am

Lizlin

Snew

2:13 am

Lizlin

Time to go. Have a good day / evening. Hugs

2:13 am

sprite

it is a compulsive thing. Even while knowing that it will not take, I have to type it in. Just like oreo.

2:13 am

sprite

have a grand evening, Liz, and a peaceful night *hugs* to the both of you.

2:13 am

Kamanjah

Perfectly logical, especially if it follows your native language

2:13 am

Kamanjah

Have a great day/night, Liz!

2:15 am

Kamanjah

I always try oreo. My phantom tonight is salad, salad, and more salad.

2:16 am

sprite

mine is sergeant

2:16 am

Kamanjah

I tried that too, but the salad is making me laugh because I keep "seeing" it

2:17 am

sprite

lol :D a repetitive phantom. I know the very kind.

2:18 am

Kamanjah

I don't usually have phantoms like that, so I've giggled a few times. Maybe it's time to eat more salad? hahaha

2:18 am

sprite

oh, nice job for today too: prettying up those Judge Dee scans. The school teacher in me loves that kind of job

2:20 am

Kamanjah

Do you have a little book club going online? I need to start reading again - my latest pair of glasses just aren't working for reading, need to go back and complain.

2:21 am

sprite

Liz and I are always exchanging books. You are more than welcome to join us. I can usually find the books people are looking for.

2:22 am

sprite

if you have an ereader, you can make the letters bigger... not sure if that would help?

2:24 am

Kamanjah

I always increase font size online and on my Kindle. I always grab my Kindle on the way out the door - it used to be a book I'd grab. But I end up playing logic games instead of reading...

2:25 am

sprite

lol! Well, as long as you are having a good time, it does not matter. If you ever need ebooks, let me know.

2:26 am

Kamanjah

I am pretty backed up with books I haven't read - and I want to get caught up with a favorite author - James Rollins.

I am having a giggle at both canvas dwelling and native american canvas dwelling being in the grid

2:29 am

Kamanjah

WTG, Diz!

2:30 am

sprite

I think I have read a series by rollings... checking now

2:31 am

sprite

yep, Sigma Force

2:31 am

Kamanjah

Modern camping gear isn't canvas these days...my last few have been light weight synthetics

2:31 am

sprite

true. But for the sake of clueing, I tend to use canvas dwelling :)

2:32 am

Kamanjah

I'm so behind on Sigma! I love the characters! Subterranian (sp) was one of my fave books ever - the words just put all the colors right in my mind.

2:32 am

sprite

am pretty sure the native american dwelling has never been canvas either ;)

2:34 am

Kamanjah

True - original Native dwellings were made of buffalo hide, but canvas came into use in about 1890

2:35 am

sprite

thanks for reminding me, I must make the sigma force series complete. Am up to book 10, but there are more.

2:36 am

Kamanjah

You have those online???!!!

2:36 am

Kamanjah

Please send link!

2:37 am

sprite

I can make a dropbox folder for you, and drop the series there

2:37 am

Kamanjah

I would love that! Thank you!

2:37 am

sprite

will do :)

Kamanjah

2:42 am

sprite

BzznBea

It is!

7:11 am

Trifioso

on the plus side, nbt was a breeeeeze

7:15 am

Trifioso

nbs, on the other side? whew!

7:30 am

markbowers7

and "ebola" is not in the dictionary because....???

7:31 am

MollyL

Proper noun?

7:32 am

Trifioso

ebola is no in the dictionary????

7:32 am

markbowers7

...the Enable dictionary

7:32 am

MollyL

Probably is a proper noun. Apparently it is the name of a river that the virus was discovered near.

7:32 am

Trifioso

ebola is not in the dictionary???

7:33 am

rubyfoo

Hello. The sun is shining on this first below-freezing day

7:34 am

Trifioso

sorry, was having a lag and needed to refresh without knowing

7:34 am

rubyfoo

Happily the house faces south

7:34 am

Trifioso

I hope you have lots of warm blankets near ruby!

7:34 am

rubyfoo

Only 3 today

7:37 am

Trifioso

i'm all about the blankets lately....apparently sleeping under a weight of blankets is good for a person?

7:39 am

rubyfoo

l've found that to be true, Trif; sometimes l nap with the laptop on my chest

7:40 am

Trifioso

There is a charming children's book called "the Five Dog Night" that I feel quite certain you would love! A new England woman worries for her neighbor in the cold, and he keeps saying "no, it's only a two dog night, or a three dog night" and she has no clue....I'm certain YOU know what he means though!

7:42 am

rubyfoo

That must be where the rock group founds itss name, serendipity or something

7:42 am

Trifioso

im sure

7:44 am

Trifioso

wow - more than halfway. I am loathe to walk away - will just end up typing again what I saw on first pass

7:45 am

MollyL

Weighted blankets are supposed to relieve stress. Not sure if that is also true for sleeping under a lot of blankets. It's possible.

7:48 am

Trifioso

its lovely, anyway. Maybe not for everyone, but lately I am loving it

7:49 am

rubyfoo

The only problem is getting out of bed in themorning

7:49 am

rubyfoo

gens

7:49 am

Trifioso

i have always struggled in that particular area, ruby....slug life

7:49 am

rubyfoo

sorry

7:50 am

Trifioso

forgiven :)

7:50 am

MollyL

Oh, I just read that weighted blankets should be 10% of your body weight + 2 pounds. So assuming 110 pounds, a thirteen pound blanket. You probably aren't sleeping under 13 pounds of blanket, but I'm sure the comfort factor is good for you. : D

7:50 am

rubyfoo

haha l've begun sleeping 'til10 -- never before!

7:51 am

Trifioso

im more pleased with the assumption of 110 pounds....

7:51 am

MollyL

Oh my, different worlds. I have been up for hours by 10.

7:52 am

MollyL

I try to guess in a flattering way.

7:52 am

rubyfoo

butyou have family! l just have very discreet dogs

7:52 am

Trifioso

I am 100% NOT a morning person. So cleverly, I picked teaching for a career. Fail.

7:54 am

rubyfoo

When l still lived in Miami, my husbnd and l would get up at 6 or so in order to run before work

7:54 am

rubyfoo

There would even be time to have breakfast in a coffee shop near the office

7:55 am

Trifioso

breakfast is so underrated. In my old life, I would meet with friends every tuesday for breakfast. It was SO NICE

7:56 am

rubyfoo

l love breakfast -- hot cerealif there's time, eggs and susge if l'm particularly piggish

7:57 am

rubyfoo

sausage*

7:58 am

Trifioso

thats the bell, gotta run

7:58 am

rubyfoo

bye Trif

8:02 am

jbp

how is ebola not allowed?

8:03 am

rubyfoo

Yesterday, l played Buena Vista Social Club for my friend and my feet took over and l actually danced, one of the main thingsl miss now that l'm so old!

8:04 am

BzznBea

I read that dancing reverses aging, ruby. Dance away!

8:04 am

MollyL

Okay, eggs and sausage are not piggish.

8:05 am

BzznBea

jbp, according to a previous conversation, ebola is a proper noun.

8:05 am

rubyfoo

l think it's too late, but it felt very good. Nathalie (my friend) comparedme to hermother who is Younger than l, but does, even less

8:06 am

rubyfoo

<--loves Molly

8:08 am

rubyfoo

Molly dÃ©fends me, even when l'm called men (and worse)

8:09 am

jbp

hmmm, ok. but it isn't capitalized, so *I* think it counts,. ;-)

8:09 am

jbp

thanks BR

8:09 am

MollyL

I know several women who have been through therapy for body image issues. I'm very sensitive to words like piggish and fat pants. Women tend to be depreciating when it comes to eating.

8:11 am

MollyL

Properly spelled, Ebola is capitalized. It is the name of a river. The virus was discovered near that river and named after it.

8:13 am

jbp

ok, thanks molly

8:13 am

jbp

Molly

8:14 am

72 Temple Owl

hi jbp!

8:16 am

rubyfoo

l'm sorry if l offended. l have somany serious boddy-image issues, that weight neever crosseedmypersonal radar

8:19 am

rubyfoo

(what are fat pants?)

8:19 am

rubyfoo

tense

8:24 am

MollyL

No offense Ruby. Fat pants are the way some women refer to comfortable pants. Sweats, yoga pants, etc. Anything that isn't skin tight and uncomfortable.

8:28 am

rubyfoo

l've started buying large soft pants because my waist is too big for my correct size

8:29 am

rubyfoo

sometimesl have to cut through the elastic at the back of the waist

8:30 am

gramma

ruby, I find pants by JJill with an elastic waist are great. The legs are smaller and the waist is bigger.

8:31 am

rubyfoo

l'm writing that down, thank you, butl'll still by largeones

8:33 am

rubyfoo

lf this grid had an r, i would pprobably have 6 or 700 WORDS

8:35 am

gramma

There is an r

8:35 am

rubyfoo

HAHA

8:35 am

rubyfoo

HAHA

8:35 am

MollyL

JJill has some nice stuff. But they are pricey.

8:35 am

rubyfoo

haha, l didn't see it

8:36 am

gramma

Yes they are but so worth it when you find something you really like.

8:45 am

rubyfoo

l just tried to geet into jjil's website and they're not doing business in Europe any more

8:45 am

gramma

What does that even mean? They won't ship?

8:46 am

MollyL

You could have them ship to your sister and have her send to you, if she is willing. Might not be worth all the trouble though.

8:46 am

rubyfoo

They Don't even show their catalogue pages

8:47 am

gramma

I'm not at all familiar with European shipping and selling.

8:47 am

rubyfoo

T>oo much unrest here? France is becoming part of the third world!

8:49 am

gramma

Is that still going on?

8:49 am

gramma

I don't watch the news right now. I'm off it until after Christmas.

8:50 am

rubyfoo

l do all my shopping online as l Don't often leave the house

8:51 am

markbowers7

i heard the rioting was about more than just higher oil prices...is this true?

8:51 am

rubyfoo

tens

8:52 am

rubyfoo

l give up N>o, they're protesting everything, even in Annecy

8:53 am

rubyfoo

Burned cars, broken store windows.

8:53 am

markbowers7

i heard it started with the higher oil prices, then added immigration, and also includes the Paris Accords...

8:53 am

gramma

Ask tRump and he'll tell you they are chanting "We want Trump". What a fool he is.

8:55 am

dcseain

You don't neod pants for the victory dance because I.R.'s better than We6! I.R. Babboon bgs star of cartoon! I am We6!

8:55 am

rubyfoo

and the high cost of living, taxes, but although the left AND the right had issues, the Young people used it as an excuse for gratuitous violence

8:56 am

MollyL

Les Miserables : D

8:56 am

dcseain

Does France have pay inequity like in the US? i was under the impression that not.

8:56 am

rubyfoo

seain, please explainâ€¦.

8:57 am

dcseain

the pay inequity? Declining real wages for workers with increasing pay for executives.

8:57 am

mael

of course it does, seain

8:58 am

mael

I'm pretty sure there's no place on earth that doesn't have pay inequity

8:58 am

dcseain

no, no of course about it. the US has much, much higher executive pay than anywhere else.

8:58 am

rubyfoo

My health care worker for whom l pay 33 euros an hour to the agency, only gets 7.50!

8:59 am

dcseain

ack! That's criminal.

8:59 am

lideola

the gap between executives and female workers is even larger.

9:00 am

rubyfoo

and he won't work "black" because he's afraid of being deported

9:00 am

dcseain

sigh.

9:00 am

rubyfoo

l can't even reach half, but it's been fun

9:03 am

MollyL

The discrepancy Ruby mentioned is common. Temp agencies will charge a customer 25 dollars an hour and pay the temp 14. The mark up between billable hours and actual paid hours is usually 40 - 50 %

9:03 am

not knowing mobsters is a GOOD thing, ruru!

9:57 am

rururocks

tell me about it.. he sounded like a very dangerous human being

9:58 am

Trifioso

truly hideous. It was a strange thing, when he died. He was a HORRIBLE person, but - to be beaten to death at age 80+? Not much honor in that, for whoever did it.

There are allegations to that effect Bea.

10:16 am

rururocks

that Kennedy was sure a player

10:17 am

BzznBea

All those conspiracy theories...

10:18 am

BzznBea

And it is funny how many of those people he "played" with are no longer among the living.

10:20 am

rururocks

yes.. that's very true

10:35 am

If you follow the whole Jack and Bobby trail, many people died within a short amount of time, including the two of them.

1:19 pm

I switched to e-cards a few years ago -- and phone calls to our closest friends

1:19 pm

My husband is the prince of obligation. I am the queen of f*ck it all.

MLFAN17

I feel bad that I don't if I get some but oh well

1:21 pm

MLFAN17

judi do you send out a lot of them?

1:21 pm

cybernan

www.jacquielawson.com is a good website for cards - costs around $15 per year, has a good selection and keeps track of who you have sent cards to and whether they have been received.

1:22 pm

I buy cards at the dollar store now. Postage far exceeds the cost of the cards.

1:22 pm

odessa

Yeah, I try zillions of non words it seems.

1:23 pm

MLFAN17

we all do that at times:)

1:23 pm

odessa

Itâ€™s still amazing how often my typos are true words, though

1:23 pm

Judi

I don't care who we receive cards from. Just part of my general Scroogy-ness.

1:23 pm

MLFAN17

lol judi I care who we get cards from

1:24 pm

MLFAN17

Odessa and their are some strange words in these grids

1:24 pm

Judi

I have noticed that we get less cards every year. We send out about 40-45 per year. Oy.

1:24 pm

Ainâ€™t that the truth, ML

1:25 pm

MLFAN17

judi seriously? that many?

1:25 pm

Yep.

1:25 pm

Judi

It sucks being so popular. *snort*

1:26 pm

odessa

45 cards!! You are singlehandedly keeping the post up and running, Judi.

1:27 pm

Judi

Feels like it. We have to seriously whittle it down.

1:27 pm

MLFAN17

judi that's the reason we don't send out any hard to find boxes of the right amount of cards either the boxes have too many or not enough. wwe actually sent out some one year and finished a box of cards from the year before. (hubby's idea not mine)I was so disgusted with them for want to do that)

1:28 pm

MLFAN17

judi I care that's the problem if it were me I would send specific xmas cards to different people and not from a box of xmas cards

1:28 pm

Judi

Plus I'm in charge of sending them out at work, so it all gets old real fast.

1:28 pm

Not sure where we're having it. It was in the Methodist Church banquet hall (read former gym/stage).

1:38 pm

Judi

For a few years, we just got gift cards. I was a huge fan. Must be a party is a cheaper option.

1:38 pm

MLFAN17

yeah apparently they are a little lacking in money . too bad...

1:39 pm

Judi

Trust me, they are not.

1:42 pm

MollyL

I'm a proponent of no holiday party and larger holiday bonuses. You cannot convince owners of that however. They like to strut their stuff at the holidays.

1:42 pm

Judi

The last time they had it at a local "fraternal club". Place is gross.

I'm so tired of "political correctness". I heard yesterday that kids can't sing the Rudolph song anymore because it is about bullying. What a crock.

1:53 pm

Judi

Yes. It's gotten ridiculous.

1:54 pm

MollyL

Poor Rudolph, he was "nose shamed". And he didn't even have Dr. Phil to turn to.

1:54 pm

rubyfoo

thi was more than 20 years ago and we didn't want to leave anywbody out and the Latin women were good dancers
