Unless you're feeling dill.
10:48 am
Aloyisius
LOL, what ru said. MLF .. it is like a cross between tennis and ping pong and badminton, played with a big whiffleball and paddle on a court smaller than a tennis court - tremendous fun for me
10:50 am
Aloyisius
I just started in December and learned the hard way that chosing the right shoes is more important than chosing the right paddle. Was playing in running shoes, with no lateral stability and paid the price by doing a very unladylike swan dive on an outdoor court..
10:50 am
MLFAN17
ounds like fun that's for sure. I would like to try wheelchair curling but I think the equptment is expensive
10:51 am

Aloyisius
Have you tried chair volleyball, MLF? A rousing game was going on in the rec center as I walked by the room and it looked like fun
10:52 am
MLFAN17
I used to play it in school a few times

10:53 am
Aloyisius
I'm sure it was a light one, lol
10:54 am
MLFAN17
used a regular basketball but not my thing i cant even dribble a ball and blocking and such doesn't feel right to me
10:55 am
rururocks

10:56 am
rururocks

10:58 am

2:47 pm
java2
We're at 87, with high humidity, and it's supposed to be in the80's for the next 10 days or so. But there's some rain in the forecast, which should cool it down, at least temporarily. Ruby, maybe put a cold compress on your neck?
2:47 pm
rubyfoo
Maybe l'll go sit in the car and crank up the a/c
2:48 pm
cosdem
90 here. no a/c.. gonna buy a fan soon the ones i have arent strong enough

2:50 pm

When I lived in the southwest, where it was drier, we had a swamp cooler - simply a fan that blew air over a water-filled pan. It worked.
2:51 pm
rubyfoo
l'm getting the ice pack as you suggested, Java
2:51 pm
lil*monkey
Yes java, that is what an Arctic Air fan is. You put water in the tank and it cools the air that blows out.
2:51 pm
zoozzoom
That is way too hot for you and your dogs, Ruby.
2:52 pm
zoozzoom
I'm still sat here with a t¨shirt and jumper on lol

its hard to believe. I dont live that far from Ruby but it is perfectly comfortable here I haven't even bothered to get the fan out or even opened windows
2:55 pm

when the Isle of Wight festival is on I can hear it too from my home which is about 9 miles away, Mummy.
2:55 pm

I run way too hot to conserve money by not running air conditioning when it is beastly hot. And yes, it is beastly hot here too.
2:55 pm

I bet they will like that, Ruby :-)
2:55 pm
cosdem
i do have the ac on.. not doing much.. so im gonna get one of these circle fans that u put on the floor and it blows air hard....

Hey Zooz. 💗. The little one is charming. But, sadly; I became a Grandma and an orphan within 3 weeks. My Mam died last Tuesday week. It's been a rollercoaster. (Orphan at approaching 60 is pushing it, I know, but hey....)

No more than yourself, RuRu, I had a fractious relationship with my mother. I don't believe she was ever cut out to be a mother. I'm very conflicted right now.

Not to worry soodlebum. There are plenty of things we don’t agree on

Phew. Thank goodness for that. Awful to think we might become friends. Mopping brow.
4:06 pm

Don’t worry. That will never happen

The defence rests.
4:57 pm
Soodle
Other Babblers .... I apologise for this unpleasantness. I'm sorry your chat was disrupted by this animosity. A quick check of my chats will reveal that I ome in peCe.
4:58 pm
rururocks
there isn't anything unpleasant.. just chat.. not everyone gets a long soodlebum.. it's life
5:00 pm
Soodle
I come in peace. The hostility displayed in the chat is one-sided. Life is too short for bullshit
5:01 pm
rururocks
I'm not hostile.. and frankly am appalled you think I'm being hostile. I'm being matter of fact
5:10 pm
Nef
I don't see any hostility in any chat now.
(And hello to everyone)
5:11 pm
rururocks
If I get hostile.. you'd really know it. I'm pretty direct when it comes to that. And yes Nef.. there is no hostility.. just someone reaching for drama
5:12 pm
rururocks
and hi nef
5:12 pm
cosdem
so whos for popcorn? (too soon?)
5:13 pm
Nef
It's so hot & muggy here today (& tomorrow promises to be the same); I don't want to do a dang thing this weekend in this hear!

5:15 pm
rururocks
oh nice.. I can't handle humidity.
5:15 pm
rururocks

5:16 pm
cosdem
I grew up in chicago with no a/c.. i know humidity im over it
5:16 pm

But it's the humidity that will get you here in (southern MN
5:16 pm

5:20 pm
cosdem
Bruxie.. its a west coast place but one location in vegas...its a chicken and waffle place.. i had their irish nachos.. not bad
5:21 pm
cosdem

5:22 pm
MollyL
There are recipes on the internet if anyone wants to look them up. A variation of loaded fries.
5:22 pm

Hi Min, how are you doing? Good to see you here.
5:26 pm
Minveryork
Hi MLFAN17! How are you doing today? Welcome to grid.
5:26 pm
Nef
BTW, do any of you have trouble with a 2 step authentication with Amazon? We have an Alexa, but my son unplugged in a couple months ago & I've moved it and am trying to set it up again. For some reason there is a 2 step authenticator on my account; but It won't work. I tried for over 2 hours & then spent an hour with customer service trying to remove it so I can sign in and set up the Alexa in a different room; still no luck.
5:27 pm
cosdem
i just have a one step? it asks for a PIN code but thats all?
5:27 pm
MLFAN17
i accidently downloaded a game i don't want to play. i am sure somehow i can uninstall it. Its a game that is part of the computer itself and its from king game page. I have no intentions ot play it. I cant play it anyway online as that page is messed up thanks to my husband. Am i being charged since downloading or if i don't play it and leave it there its okay to do so?
5:27 pm
cosdem
but i dont use alexa so maybe irs different
5:27 pm
cosdem
was the game free or did ir have a cost on it mlf?
5:28 pm
MollyL
Two step authentication on Amazon requires you to confirm with your cell phone.
5:28 pm
MLFAN17
its candy crush soda saga?
5:28 pm
cosdem
if there was a cost, and you downloaded it you have to pay the cost but if you didnt set up an account or anything you arent beinh charged for monthly fee if tere is one
5:28 pm
Nef
Now I had to scan in my drivers license and "in a day or 2" Amazon with "send me a disable code for the authenticator!" All of this just so I can get Alexa to tell hubby the temp!
5:28 pm
cosdem
is the 2 step thing like email then PIN?
5:29 pm
MollyL
Not for me. And I only need to do two step if I'm signing in from a computer other than home.
5:29 pm
MLFAN17
myo husband had the start menu stuff on the screen he never takes it down before he stops using puter i wanted to click off and clicked on game instead.
5:29 pm
cosdem
it depends on the game. .what is it called?
5:29 pm
MollyL
From what I have heard, Alexa is a lot more trouble than it is worth.
5:30 pm
MLFAN17
He actually accused me of wanting to play it.. i didn't respond he should know this is his fault not mine.
5:30 pm
MLFAN17
9sorry don't mean to put my "dirty laundry" on here but that is what happened
5:30 pm
rururocks
i don't trust Alexa.. not from what i've read too
5:31 pm
cosdem
alexa is somewhat discriminatory IMO
5:31 pm
Nef
Molly, they have my phone number, they just won't call, text, or anything else to give me a code. I had 3 different people trying to help me get past that and nothing worked.
5:31 pm
cosdem
it puts a class of people at a disavantage compared with everyone else. IJS
5:32 pm
MollyL
It is not calling you. It is a verification that pops up on your cell phone when you log in.
5:32 pm
cosdem
nef did you try your usual PIN for everyting else?
5:33 pm
MollyL
My insurance company does the same thing. They text me a verification code, to make sure it is me, before letting me log in.
5:33 pm
Nef
My grandson & his friend used to play games on it; DH uses the temp info since it's hard for him to see the thermometer, and it helps him with spelling. My son insists that "THEY are spying on us." Idon't care one way or another; but I did move it to our front room (which no one uses normally)
5:34 pm
cosdem
course.. if i could hear id prob use it :P
5:35 pm
Nef
Molly, I've used verification codes for insurance stuff too; it's just Amazon being a PIA for me. (Good thing I'm not trying to BUY something! Then again, that might be the problem; I don't buy stuff from Amazon except 1 or 2 rare items at Christmas).
5:36 pm
Nef
Sorry, cos, I forgot an Alexa wouldn't work for you.
5:37 pm
MollyL
Yeah, that is probably the problem. You are not a familiar person, frequent buyer, to them. I'm a frequent flyer with Amazon. They know me very well.
5:37 pm
cosdem
How sad. In Minnesota a cattle of herd was swept into a raging river during flooding
5:37 pm
MLFAN17
cosdom i think it was a free download since its already on puter. so i think if i don't play it i am okay?
5:37 pm
cosdem
you should be ok MLF
5:37 pm
MLFAN17
Hubby is main screen name he can uninstall it
5:38 pm
cosdem
ugh i mean herd of cattle
5:38 pm
MLFAN17
cos yeah downloading is free
5:38 pm
MollyL
If you are not sure about a mistaken download, you need to check your credit card bills for charges whether you play or not.
5:38 pm
cosdem
you're ok MLF. i wouldnt worry
5:38 pm
MLFAN17
ty cos appreciate the help
5:38 pm
cosdem
but molly is right.. check your bank accounts
5:39 pm
cosdem
and email accounts. you should get notification emails if youre being charged or you purchased anything
5:39 pm
Nef
Yeah, it was about 50 cows that got swept away. As of this AM, they found about 20 (alive & well); it was 1/3 of the farmers whole herd. :-(
5:39 pm
MLFAN17
i cant get into my email account and hubby doesn't have any eihter
5:39 pm
cosdem
at least some were saved.. i hope they werent saved to turn into food though lol
5:41 pm
MLFAN17
it didn't say anything it was automatically downloaded i didn't do anything to it but that
5:41 pm

wheres the beef? wheres the beef?
5:42 pm

I believe it's a dairy herd.
5:42 pm
Minveryork
Cosdem, I just read 15 of the 40 cattle were found up on a hill 2 miles down from where they'd been swept away.
5:42 pm
cosdem
i love cows.. did you read they are charing people 300.00 for 90 mins of cow cuddling.. its a new form of therapy
5:43 pm

after ryan. the dogs knew.. they knew somehow.. i took out ryan's pendant with his ashes in it and the dogs went absoultely insane... crying barking licking at it.. it was so weird
5:48 pm
cosdem
the cat likes to sit and stare at it for hours
5:49 pm
cosdem
um i just read about goat yoga.. i kinda wanna do it
5:52 pm
Nef
animals do sense things like that. IDK about them knowing that it the pendant had anything to do with Ryan; but, then again, why not?
5:52 pm
cosdem
it was just strange to see their reaction. they never do that with anything else
5:52 pm
cosdem
maybe it was because it wa ssomething they never saw before but that doesnt explain the crying the pawing barking etc furs sticking up
5:53 pm
Nef
Well; DH is making lots of noise in the other room so I guess my break time is up. BBL; time to fix supper, etc. too.

11:38 pm
Nef
Back again.; 230 words left to find (I don’t think I’ll finish this grif)
11:40 pm
Nef
And cos, the only reason that trump is doing that is he’s jealous as hell. He’s just a mean-spirited person.
11:41 pm
Nef
And I’m sorry if that offends anyone, but trump doesn’t know how to be kind or presidential.
11:57 pm

well said, nef -- and all the gob's that support and defend him are just as disgusting.
