8:21 am

MollyL

Iron Sudoku ran out of puzzles, just like Babble did recently. All fixed. Thanks Dr. God.

8:22 am

BzznBea

Does he go back and reuse or just randomize more?

8:24 am

MollyL

No clue. I'm just grateful that he still maintains this game. I'm sure it is time consuming.

hokie carla

I went to school with a Cole Cox. always thought that was funny.

MollyL

Furry creatures who like trail cages

MollyL

If Hurshy was here she would be talking about the ha7 dance

9:42 am

hokie carla

also something you hold with your limb on your arm

9:42 am

mkg

ha 7 8: two words together. old phones had a base and what you picked upp to answer the phone was called a ha*****. plural for 8. you picked it up with your ha**. then add second word

9:42 am

mkg

ok the animals are another ha 7 and 8.

9:43 am

hokie carla

so apparently there are 2 pairs of ha7/8. thx molly.

9:43 am

MollyL

Wasn't sure which was being asked for. I thought the animal was harder to see

9:43 am

hokie carla

I didn't have either!

9:44 am

hokie carla

and didn't know they existed

9:44 am

hokie carla

I just got the animal as well and its pl

9:45 am

bichon

ty Molly

MLFAN17

9:48 am

MollyL

I don't care how many times ed4/6 is in the grids, my brain refuses to recognize it as a legitimate word.

9:48 am

hokie carla

I have words like that, but that one I somehow usually see

9:48 am

MLFAN17

molly ed /8 you mean?

9:49 am

hokie carla

there is ed4/6, mlfan

9:50 am

MLFAN17

i have it:)

9:50 am

MollyL

No, I meant ed4/6

9:50 am

MLFAN17

oh no i don't sorry

9:50 am

hokie carla

mlfan was just trying to make you say meant, molly

9:50 am

MollyL

I have the word, I just never see it without having to really look for it

9:51 am

MollyL

It wouldn't be the first time I have been tricked into the PB. That's why I bar tend there.

9:51 am

MLFAN17

i have the 4/8

9:51 am

BzznBea

9:54 am

hokie carla

9:54 am

MLFAN17

hiding in plain sight hokie

9:55 am

hokie carla

I do struggle with the compound words for some reason

9:55 am

BzznBea

Just two rh's

9:55 am

BzznBea

You might be missing ri5.12

9:55 am

hokie carla

ok, thx

9:56 am

hokie carla

excellent guess

9:56 am

hokie carla

got it, thx

9:57 am

hokie carla

oh, bea - the little peach tree in my pic is budding.

9:57 am

BzznBea

Do you get peaches from it?

9:58 am

bichon

We're so far behind. Forsythia is starting ud

9:58 am

hokie carla

this is only the 3rd year. when I bought it there were a few small ones but they fell off. one got close, I was going to pick it the next day and then a squirrel got it. last year there were like 50 baby peaches but then they got a fungus.

9:58 am

bichon

*bud

9:59 am

BzznBea

We have had such a mild winter here, bichon.

9:59 am

MollyL

I was sure missing ri5. What a weird word.

9:59 am

hokie carla

I don't know if I should go ahead and treat it for that now. I need to do some research.

9:59 am

MollyL

All things are budding and blooming around here. I love this time of year.

9:59 am

MLFAN17

can someone clue the ri 5 pls?

9:59 am

bichon

We haven't had more than a dusting of snow

9:59 am

hokie carla

of course ri5 has no definition

10:00 am

MLFAN17

too easy hokie

10:00 am

hokie carla

might be an alt sp of the monkey?

10:00 am

BzznBea

Carla, I do think you have to spray peaches around here. They can not be grown organically.

10:01 am

MLFAN17

monkey?

10:01 am

MollyL

It is part of the Latin phrase ri5 sardonicus which means fixed contraction of the facial muscles resulting in a peculiar distorted grin, caused esp by tetanus.

10:01 am

hokie carla

we have a little farm with a market nearby that has a lot of peach trees. I need to go and ask them if they'll give me some tips.

10:01 am

BzznBea

ri5 ends with the pronoun for you and me, mlf.

10:02 am

MLFAN17

ty bzz

10:02 am

BzznBea

Ot you could just ask them if they sell their peaches. =)

10:02 am

hokie carla

I usually buy them!

10:02 am

MLFAN17

Hubby and i had discussed planting some fruit trees but it never came to be

10:02 am

BzznBea

My peach jam is requested highly.

10:03 am

hokie carla

they do sell them by the bushel (and other sizes :D)

10:03 am

MLFAN17

bzz?

10:03 am

BzznBea

Yes?

10:03 am

MLFAN17

That is just peachy!

10:03 am

hokie carla

this tree is in a planter and I just moved it to the screened porch to keep the squirrels away, so now I have to remember to actually water it because I usually kill things.

10:04 am

MLFAN17

lol hokie hubby and i don't have green thumbs either

10:04 am

BzznBea

You may want to get it in the ground, Carla. If it is three years old, it going to start getting girdled in the pot.

10:04 am

MLFAN17

i still want to plant some crepe myrtle

10:05 am

hokie carla

I did read that they do well in planters.

10:05 am

bichon

Can't grow crepe myrtle here

10:05 am

hokie carla

my mom calls that "root-bound". never heard of girdled there. :D

10:05 am

MollyL

Oh dear, nothing wants to get girdled.

10:06 am

MLFAN17

bichon the soil or the temps?

10:06 am

bichon

The temps. When we go to Richmond hey have it.

10:06 am

MLFAN17

ohh

10:07 am

hokie carla

we have chopped all our crepe myrtles down and they keep coming back. the mr. just dug one of the root balls out on Sunday. they have these aphids that we had a tree company treating and they are almost impossible to get rid of. So even when they grow back they have the aphids.

10:07 am

bichon

We do row great blueberries

10:07 am

MLFAN17

they have a lot of them around here

10:07 am

MollyL

Girdling and root bound are not the same thing, are they Bea?

10:08 am

MLFAN17

hokie were you keeping them down like a small tree or a bush?

10:08 am

BzznBea

They are the same thing. Basically.

10:08 am

hokie carla

the aphids' poop is black and all over everything and it's gross. we see our neighbors with nice crepe myrtles but I did see one who has the aphids too.

10:09 am

MLFAN17

that's a good thing to know.. They are just so nice to look at

10:09 am

MollyL

Oh. From this definition, I thought they were different...cut through the bark all the way around (a tree or branch), typically in order to kill it or to kill a branch to make the tree more fruitful.

10:09 am

hokie carla

well the shape and size has nothing to do with the aphids, but crepe myrtles aren't meant to be cut back like that. everyone just does it wrong.

10:11 am

BzznBea

Yes, that is girdling. The roots can also wrap around the tree and girdle it.

10:11 am

hokie carla

4 d's, 4 h's, & 5 s's left

10:11 am

hokie carla

i may get out there and stir the dirt around some, see what it looks like in there

10:12 am

rururocks

do you wrap them on or strap them on ?

10:14 am

MollyL

*Just choked on a saltine*

10:15 am

hokie carla

yeah, I went to another tab and came back to that. what are you referring to ru? the girdling?

10:15 am

rururocks

yeah..

10:15 am

rururocks

i'm trying to picture it

10:16 am

hokie carla

okay..

10:16 am

rururocks

i guess stuff like that you just need to see in person

10:17 am

BzznBea

Or not. Nothing girdled is pretty.

10:18 am

hokie carla

when I was a lot younger I had one of those slimming things and I would call it my "special slip". my mom would always say, that's a girdle. LOL

10:18 am

hokie carla

girdles are before my time :D

10:18 am

MollyL

Nothing girdled is pretty sounds like a line from a country western song

10:19 am

BzznBea

It probably is, Molly.

10:19 am

MollyL

Carla never lets us forget how young she is

10:20 am

hokie carla

that reminds me of a movie I recently saw - Wild Rose -a girl in Glasgow wants to be a country singer. several times people say "country & western" and she corrects them - "it's just country"

10:20 am

cybernan

good morning all :)

10:21 am

hokie carla

I wish, Molly. I was looking in the mirror the other day and thought I looked like an old hag.

10:21 am

hokie carla

morning, nan

10:21 am

BzznBea

Hey, nan.

10:22 am

MollyL

It is known as country, country and western or hillbilly. But I wouldn't use hillbilly because that can get you clobbered.

10:22 am

hokie carla

well, I am stuck with 12 left and need to finish before the noon gym class, so I am going to the list.

10:23 am

BzznBea

Rockabilly might not get you clobbered.

10:23 am

BzznBea

I've got fireworks.

10:23 am

hokie carla

well, as a certified hillbilly, I can tell you hillbilly music is not quite the same as country. it's more bluegrass or a bluegrass form known as old-time.

10:24 am

BzznBea

I have two days of early morning voulnteer gigs the rest of the week. May be here during the afternoons an basketball tourneys.

10:24 am

rururocks

i love bluegrass music

10:24 am

bichon

Love bluegrass and country

10:25 am

hokie carla

hope to see you, bea!

10:25 am

BzznBea

See you next time...

10:25 am

hokie carla

bichon, you love country? aren't you the one who didn't know Hank Williams?

10:25 am

rururocks

bye bea

10:26 am

MollyL

Bluegrass is very different. I was just referring to generic terms used in the music industry.

10:26 am

bichon

We watched the Ken Burns documentary and all has been enlightened

10:26 am

hokie carla

My dad & oldest brother were in an old-time bluegrass band during most of the 80s. almost every night in the summer, they would sit out on our carport with our neighbor and other friends and just pick for hours.

10:27 am

origami

I like bluegrass, too.

10:27 am

ch1212

In my younger years, I was a country-western dj, at a station that played the OLD oldies -- Kitty Wells, Patsy Cline, Hank Thompson, Hank Williams, Buck Owens (though Buck was considered a modern country singer in those days)...

10:27 am

hokie carla

I grew up in the same county in Va that the famous Carter Family is from.

10:28 am

bichon

I grrew up in NYC. Not exposed to music out of my circle

10:29 am

MollyL

I was curious about the loves country/doesn't know Hank Williams thing too.

10:29 am

bichon

Wow, Carla. Lucky you. Mr. B wants to go there

10:30 am

rururocks

i was never a hank williams fan .. and i really don't care for his racist son either

10:30 am

ch1212

It wasn't God who made honky tonk angels
As you said in the words of your song
Too many times married men
Think they're still single
That has caused many a good girl to go wrong

(Thank you Kitty Wells)

10:31 am

bichon

I don't think I would tune into country music, ut would to bluegrass

10:31 am

hokie carla

My favorite country era is 90s. I don't like current at all. I know 70s and 80s stuff from my parents and some before then. Not a huge Hank or Hank Jr. fan either.

10:32 am

mattygroves

Anyone have stats for the 9 please?

10:32 am

hokie carla

I like bluegrass better too. My youngest son refuses to acknowledge there is a difference between bluegrass and country. he thinks they are the same

10:32 am

hokie carla

de9/66

10:32 am

rururocks

i got to see Doc Watson and his son and Tony Rice play in concert twice.. one of the best shows i've ever been to

10:32 am

bichon

de 9/66, pl of the de 8

10:32 am

hokie carla

I had to reread that - I thought you were saying Tony Rice was his son :D

10:33 am

mattygroves

Thanks - my next task: find the de8 ;)

10:33 am

rururocks

no.. doc's son was an accomplished guitarist also

10:33 am

hokie carla

have you heard of Blue Highway? the fiddle/mandolin/high tenor in that group is from my county. I knew him in high school.

10:33 am

bichon

weird word, Molly gave a good clue

10:34 am

MollyL

The 1960's was a great decade for country music. All the really big time country artists recorded then.

10:34 am

hokie carla

yes, ru, I believe his name was Merle? they have MerleFest or something here in NC that I've heard of. I think it's Doc's

10:34 am

rururocks

i do like patsy cline a lot.. she was fantastic too

10:35 am

bichon

If you can find the Ken Burns documentary "Country Music", you will enjoy it

10:35 am

hokie carla

yes, I need to watch that. I remember when it came out lots of people were talking about it.

10:36 am

ch1212

I interviewed Charlie Daniels once -- a real gentleman. And Lee Greenwood (who was actually a jazz musician and accidentally got into country). Eddie Rabbit was my favorite.

10:36 am

MollyL

Eddy Merle (named after country music legends Eddy Arnold and Merle Travis)

10:36 am

hokie carla

I heard Eddie Rabbit recently and didn't realize he had died. I liked him a lot

10:38 am

ch1212

My interview was over the phone prior to his arrival for a local concert, and we wound up talking over two hours because we just connected. He was a huge Star Trek fan (like me), loved philosophy (ditto), and both our Irish grandparents played violin.

10:38 am

MollyL

I loved Eddie Rabbitt. He left us too soon.

10:38 am

hokie carla

The Stanley Brothers were from a county next to us and my dad & brother had met Ralph in their work a few times.

10:38 am

helenkeller

"Hank's Back" - Leon Russell's homage albums to Hanks Williams & Hank Thompson. Amazing how many people don't know who Hank Thompson was.

10:41 am

rururocks

i sure don't see that de 8 or 9

The clue I found in the archives from Molly was along the lines of the union that Jimmy Hoffa was head of, but change the first and third letters

10:43 am

bichon

yes, ut you might want to oogle Jimmy Hoffa

10:43 am

mattygroves

An American union for truck drivers, if that helps (I've no idea why it's called what it is)

10:43 am

MollyL

I'm not sure Jimmy Hoffa is what Ru wants to oogle

Wow, many colleges are closing down after spring break and doing remote teaching between now and the end of the year.

11:01 am

moolingwa

yeah, I already have a couple of customers who are banning any non-employees from their campasses

11:01 am

moolingwa

and prohibiting all travel

11:03 am

MollyL

Just curious. How many of you have stopped eating Chinese food because of this?

11:04 am

origami

All travel and larger meetings have been prohibited at the university I work for.

11:05 am

bichon

Our University is on a two week break. Dont know what will happen afterwards

11:05 am

Be honest now. How many of you are stockpiling loo rolls. There are pics on TV of people with hundreds in their trolleys. One chap had filled his spare room with thousands.

11:13 am

rururocks

i'm not.. i have enough.. i'm not hoarding.. it's just me here mostly

11:14 am

rururocks

sure wish i could find hand sanitizers though.. who knew

11:15 am

MollyL

Not stockpiling. I did buy in bulk from Amazon, something I usually don't do because so many stores around here are out.

11:15 am

jaxx7

I am virtually housebound so I am reliant on my husband to do the shopping. I cannot see the point os stockpiling loo rolls. Tins and dried goods maybe.

11:15 am

MollyL

Hand sanitizer and all the ingredients to make it are now black market items.

11:16 am

jaxx7

Another thing you can't find on the shelves is Paracetamol painkillers. Obviously the populace are expecting one big headache.

11:16 am

I have 36 rolls, because I buy it at Costco and had just bought some before it became such a precocious commodity.

I have 24 given as a free gift by our new Lidl store if you spent Â£20.

11:18 am

MollyL

People don't keep supplies on hand anymore. They figure they are always out and can always pick up whatever they need. This is why there are such long lines before a snow storm.

11:20 am

MollyL

All those survivalists who have been stockpiling for years are like "Yaaah, we told you so"

11:20 am

rururocks

fwiw, you can make your own hand sanitizer with rubbing alcohol (thats at least 60% alcohol) + aloe.
2 parts rubbing alcohol to 1 part aloe.
add essential oils for a scent if youd like.

11:44 am

EvaNadine

that recipe conforms to the CDC guidelines.

11:48 am

MollyL

Eva, have you tried buying rubbing alcohol lately?

11:50 am

I do have a little trouble with these very old accusations. Sadly it was 'normal' at the time. I am sure in a lot of cases girls were throwing themselves at celebrities and the celebrities were youg(ger) and tempted by easy young flesh. thankfully nowadays people should know better. Hopefully.

12:18 pm

mattygroves

Just because something was accepted or normal in the past doesn't make it right.

12:18 pm

rururocks

that certainly wasn't the case with Weinstein .. and Cosby's victims couldn't throw themselves to begin with.. they were knocked out

12:20 pm

MollyL

Yeah, there was a time when it was "accepted" for a husband to force himself sexually on his wife.

12:22 pm

MollyL

Women have been doing sexual favors for Hollywood producers to get roles for ages. To the point where some ugly, old guy with money thinks he can get what he wants from any woman he wants.

12:25 pm

Deeha

heard a joke yesterday. Guy of 69 marries a blonde of 26. How did you manage that asks a friend. I told her I was 96 he replied
