1:42 pm

Judi

What the Pho is going on?

1:42 pm

dcseain

differences in flavors, and slight differences in types of dishes. Northern is more Chinese influenced.

1:42 pm

BzznBea

As long it is not Korean! OMG!

1:43 pm

periwinkle

1:43 pm

rururocks

which gives way to that famous vietaanmese southern state saying

1:43 pm

dcseain

i like Korean, but i grew up next door to a Korean family.

1:43 pm

rururocks

kimchi is not for me

1:43 pm

dcseain

Aquia is a place near me, and it's in the grid.

1:43 pm

periwinkle

1:44 pm

dcseain

1:44 pm

dcseain

1:44 pm

periwinkle

okay

1:45 pm

BzznBea

I like their food too, dc. Love kimchi. Just not into their mentality towards Americans.

1:46 pm

dcseain

i live near one of the highest concentrations of Koreans in the US. I have 4 24h Korean restaurants within 40 min of me.

1:46 pm

rururocks

oh come one bea.. Donald took care of that we're best buddies now with North Korea

1:46 pm

rururocks

(sarcasm noted)

1:46 pm

dcseain

LOL ruru

1:48 pm

BzznBea

One of my daughters had a full blown wedding to a Korean. (As we found out later, his parents made them get married in a civil ceremony the year before for "tax purposes")

1:49 pm

dcseain

How typical.

1:50 pm

BzznBea

As the mother of the bride, I waited until all guests had been served before going through the buffet, which was Korean and American...And we had to sign a waiver so the Korean food could be brought in to the reception venue...

1:50 pm

dcseain

fits of pi5 or pits of fi5, take your pick.:)

1:51 pm

dcseain

due to the pork content?

1:51 pm

BzznBea

No, because the Korean food was prepared in home kitchens and not through the caterers.

1:52 pm

dcseain

ah!

1:52 pm

Judi

* pondering what possible tax purposes could be *

1:53 pm

BzznBea

Once I had filled my plate and sat down, there was a mad rush to the buffet by Korean people.

1:53 pm

periwinkle

was he not a citizen Bea?

1:53 pm

BzznBea

Yes, he is an American citizen.

1:54 pm

periwinkle

are they still married?

1:54 pm

BzznBea

NO!

1:54 pm

periwinkle

I did not think so

1:54 pm

BzznBea

NO!

1:54 pm

Judi

Clue for 2nd Eq5/18, please?

1:55 pm

rururocks

if they pushed for early marriage was it jimandu of them?

1:55 pm

BzznBea

She has been batteling the IRS for a couple of years because he and his family refuse to pay taxes.

1:55 pm

dcseain

eq5 your safety goggles.

1:55 pm

periwinkle

oh no, Bea

1:56 pm

Judi

Ty, DC.

1:56 pm

dcseain

Ack, hopefully that impacts her minimally.

1:56 pm

rururocks

guessing they were difficult in-laws for bea

1:56 pm

dcseain

and thanks for the first one :)

1:56 pm

Judi

Hmmm. Sounds like she needs to whistleblower them to the IRS.

1:57 pm

rururocks

that would be a big phuk-yu judi

1:57 pm

BzznBea

After I filled my plate, the Korean guests decended upon the buffet with take out/plasticware and wiped out the rest of the buffet.

1:58 pm

Judi

Ba ha ha ha!

1:58 pm

Judi

No more happy famiry.

1:58 pm

BzznBea

We only served wine and beer at the reception. They wanted ALCHOL!

1:58 pm

rururocks

guessing korea is not on bea's bucket list now

1:58 pm

Judi

In10 clue, please?

1:59 pm

rururocks

things that lack evenness or balances

1:59 pm

BzznBea

Took food and Korean DJ to another venue so they could party hardiuer

2:00 pm

Judi

Wow, that's classy, Bea. Different culture, or just complete lack of respect.

2:00 pm

BzznBea

No more happy famiry...

2:00 pm

BzznBea

Both.

2:00 pm

rururocks

what was your daughter thinking?

2:02 pm

BzznBea

Well, obviously, she wasn't! And she did not talk to us about any of her married years until last year's seperation.

2:03 pm

Judi

Ty for 10 clue. Found it.

2:04 pm

BzznBea

I've got to take my non-Korean momma to WalMart...Oy, vey!

2:05 pm

dcseain

dcseain

rururocks

2:09 pm

dcseain

2:10 pm

dcseain

2:11 pm

rururocks

2:11 pm

rururocks

2:11 pm

dcseain

almonds are not nuts. they are drupes.

2:11 pm

rururocks

I still have an allergic reaction to them

2:12 pm

Judi

2:12 pm

rururocks

2:47 pm

I love depositing checks via phone. It is like magic.

FW

2:51 pm

sukee

I agree Molly

2:56 pm

lynxxx

I don't know anyone here who still writes or receives cheques, it is all done on-line now and has been for about 5 years. Very little cash around too.

2:57 pm

sukee

Well, I have to write a check to my cleaning lady and I get a check occasionally for interest on my rent. My sister also sends me a check for my birthday :)

2:59 pm

lynxxx

I think the only occasions when cash is used to pay for services here is when it is "under the table' ie to avoid tax or similar

3:00 pm

origami

I write checks to the handyman/gardener. I almost never have more than $20 cash on me.

3:01 pm

sukee

Boy, I am having a hard time with this grid. Not even halfway yet.

3:09 pm

MollyL

I write checks to service people too, like the plumber, or anyone else who does work for me. I carry around a certain amount of cash and pay for some things that way.

3:10 pm

MollyL

Oh, I also write checks for my co-pay at the doctor's offices. I don't use credit cards very often.

3:16 pm

lynxxx

EFTPOS via card (but not usually credit cards) is the norm here. EFTPOS payments via phone and even watches becoming even more common.

3:18 pm

hurshy

anyone help me get another A from the bottom? I have assistant.

3:19 pm

sukee

That is the only one I have too

3:20 pm

lynxxx

ar7.32 a & walked fast & the start of the duck commonly here

3:21 pm

lynxxx

ae6.21 is the other

3:24 pm

MollyL

That ae6 (and words like it) are why I often give up on these grids.

3:25 pm

Soodle

Great clues. Thanks guys. Lynn - the fires in NSW are making the news here. How utterly awful.

3:26 pm

sukee

Finally got the ar :)

3:26 pm

sukee

TY

3:27 pm

sukee

And got the AE

3:27 pm

lynxxx

Very grim. My SIL had to evacuate her home about a month ago up in Qld (near Noosa) and it was only the start of Spring. Nasty Summer coming up - long long drought here so everything is very dry.

3:28 pm

sukee

OK, 100 left. Time for a break.

3:28 pm

lynxxx

Meanwhile down south we are back to Winter and raincoats!

3:32 pm

hurshy

thanks for the clues folks

3:35 pm

Soodle

Scary times, Lynn. Stay safe. And warm.

3:46 pm

dcseain

may some rain fall, lyn

3:50 pm

lynxxx

Probably not enough coming DC - not that it is all unexpected. And still we don't do enough preparation nor address climate change!

4:11 pm

dcseain

agreed re preparation and climate change.

4:11 pm

dcseain

The amount of recent flood plain development in Washington, DC is shocking.

4:14 pm

rururocks

i do everything by check or cash.. i rarely use credit cards

4:15 pm

rururocks

(commenting on the discussion below)

4:15 pm

lynxxx

A quick read DC - what on earth are they doing building more homes ther!

4:15 pm

dcseain

This year so far i've written three cheques, which is two more than i'd written in a year in a long time.

4:16 pm

dcseain

Mostly not homes, but performance venues and new fish market.

4:16 pm

rururocks

i could see why they wouldn't want a fish market under water :D

4:17 pm

lynxxx

Can you not access savings or cheque accounts by card (electronically) in the States?

4:17 pm

rururocks

we can.. but there are still issues with Fraud at many atms

4:18 pm

rururocks

so I don't use them....

4:19 pm

lynxxx

I can't thinf of a single reatail outlet outlet that doesn't have a reader here...a lot of tradsmen carry them now too. Everyone here 'swipes'.

4:20 pm

lynxxx

- or rather, taps

4:21 pm

rururocks

here in california Lynxx.. several Retail outlets got hacked by hackers who confiscated hundreds of thousands of identities and credit card numbers and other info

4:24 pm

dcseain

i use a debit card all the time.

4:24 pm

lynxxx

so the stores customer account records were hacked? or did they access the actual payment records (ie when a customer doesn't actually have a store account?

4:25 pm

lynxxx

for daily purchases - same here DC

4:26 pm

rururocks

they hacked the credit card numbers and name

4:27 pm

rururocks

which is left on the machine

4:28 pm

lynxxx

Sounds like either the stores and/or their bankers need to tighten up their security. Not saying it won't ever happen here but I have not heard of it.

4:29 pm

MollyL

I understand where Ru is coming from. Using your money digitally leaves you open to a lot of dangerous things.

4:30 pm

rururocks

we have a lot more criminals to deal with here in america than you guys do lynxx

4:30 pm

lynxxx

Obviously - a damn lot more guns too!

4:31 pm

rururocks

that's for sure and a very sad truth. i wish guns were outlawed here like Australia

4:32 pm

MollyL

Yep, America is full of criminals and gun carriers. It's a wonder any of us are still alive.

4:32 pm

rururocks

not American in general molly ,.... mostly california

4:33 pm

rururocks

lots of places in America are safe.. and others not.. just like everywhere else in the world

4:33 pm

lynxxx

Well luckily you have all the fires Ru - that should wipe all those criminals and gun carriers out.

4:33 pm

rururocks

yeah right

4:34 pm

rururocks

the fires wipe out families like my cousin who packed up and moved out of state

4:34 pm

lynxxx

You are moving too?

4:34 pm

rururocks

i'm probably not staying here when i Retire and will move north

4:35 pm

rururocks

it's very, very expensive to live in the SF Bay Area

4:35 pm

lynxxx

I am npot sure I could live where fires are a threat. We are flood prone here but I would rather water than fire any day.

4:47 pm

cybernan

hi again

4:48 pm

lynxxx

hi Nan

4:51 pm

lynxxx

Bye all

5:11 pm

MollyL

I must have my news mixed up. I thought there were a lot of fires in Australia.

5:19 pm

Eleventh Commandment: Thou shalt NOT go to WalMart on a Saturday afternon.

5:20 pm

5:20 pm

BzznBea

Oh, thank you, Molly!

5:20 pm

MollyL

Walmart is hell on Earth

5:22 pm

BzznBea

WalMart is a great place for her to go to exercise with out all the inclines and "bumps" in the road...Just not on a Saturday!

5:22 pm

BzznBea

We will start doing our WalMart trips during the week!

5:24 pm

MollyL

My son comes with me to the grocery store to get an "indoor" walk when the weather is nasty.

5:26 pm

BzznBea

That's what I do with Momma. She will just have to be satisfied with walking the household circuit on weekends from now on.

5:26 pm

BzznBea

Is there any place else you can take your son, Molly?

5:28 pm

origami

I'm with you on Walmart, Molly. The one closest to me is in the ghetto and is an absolute hell hole. I once had to go there for something and watched a man start to strangle the woman with him in the line ahead of me. Nobody did anything until I yelled at him to stop. I'm lucky I didn't get knifed.

5:28 pm

Lizlin

Molly - there are lots of fires in Australia right now. We have smoke haze where we live. Nearest fire is about 30 km from us - but we're not in dange.

5:30 pm

BzznBea

That is our Walmart, origami. I try not to shop there.

5:31 pm

BzznBea

Liz, I am so sorry you are dealing with that. Hope you continue to stay out of harms way.

5:32 pm

Lizlin

Thanks, Bea. It's pretty unpleasant but much worse for all the people directly affected. Sad too that so much wildlife dies.

5:36 pm

MollyL

Thanks Liz. I thought I was right about fires in Australia from the chat here.

5:37 pm

Lizlin

I think Lynxxx meant that she's happy not to live close to a fire area.

5:43 pm

Stay safe Liz
