Where is everyone??

6:35 am

MollyL

Probably pouting due to another smallish grid.

6:35 am

Uneaixoise

Hee hee

6:41 am

BzznBea

It is usually quiet at this time. I like it because the clues aren't flying.

6:42 am

MollyL

Yesterday was particularly bad for clues flying. If someone can't get a word after 10 clues, this might not be the game for them.

6:44 am

BzznBea

I can't imagine needing that many clues. Rather silly.

6:49 am

Uneaixoise

Scrabbler

Hi welki and Deeha!

7:15 am

welki

Scrabbler

Yes, 2 days off then Monday is with mom as usual.

7:16 am

Scrabbler

But a week of rain started last evening.

7:16 am

welki

might keep you inside, but still some time to decompress

7:17 am

Scrabbler

Decluttering is needed...always.

7:17 am

welki

here, too - i swear the crap sneaks in when we're sleeping. it's not like we've been out shopping.

7:20 am

Scrabbler

I look around and am amazed that I have collected so much stuff after living here for 31 years.

7:25 am

Deeha

I work two days in a week in a local charity shop.its only small. I dread reopening. Everybody in the country has bags and boxes labelled charity shop!!

7:28 am

welki

it's going to be busy, deeha. i have bags of clothing to be donated, but will wait at least a couple of months before i call to see if they can be picked up. the donation bins are overflowing and i don't want to add to that.

7:29 am

M3

Deeha, your going to be busy then, the charity donation bins have been closed, every one has had time to clear out, !!

7:30 am

Scrabbler

Our local outreach center has refused donations for the last 2 months. They will be swamped when then give the go-ahead.

7:31 am

8:21 am

rururocks

i'm planning to spend a month there when I go

8:22 am

MollyL

I love Japanese maples. They are gorgeous.

8:23 am

bichon

Not only is it beautiful [only been to the South Island], I found being so far away from all the strife of the world was refreshing

8:23 am

rururocks

i like all maples.. one of my favorite trees

8:23 am

MollyL

And Japanese willows.

8:23 am

BzznBea

Yes, we have been given the money for a Japanese maple. That is why we decided to create the Japanese area in the garden.

8:23 am

bichon

8:24 am

bichon

8:24 am

BzznBea

It will have to be a small area, but I think we can make a stunning exhibit.

8:30 am

Deeha

aaaah fw at last

8:31 am

8:44 am

MollyL

Apparently, the internet is full of ideas on how to use bee balm.

8:45 am

BzznBea

Yes, I've been looking as well. I am going to make lotion bars this weekend. May start infusing it in oil to use in a later batch.

8:49 am

BzznBea

I think I will get out my dehydrator too.

Part of the new (ridiculous) normal is no more shucking corn in the grocery store

8:54 am

cybernan

cerif sounds the same, but that is not there

8:54 am

MollyL

Nan, it is really better if you don't post guesses. They could be very close to the word.

Apparently duck pin bowling is still a thing in some places. Maybe it is a regional thing and wasn't a big deal in Pennsylvania.

4:05 pm

phandmd

I am pretty sure we have a duck pin lane in Mount Airy.

4:05 pm

Remember that the F sound is sometimes spelled with two other letters. Like that cell object that so many people seem addicted to.

7:44 pm

phandmd

Except for when I was sick, and except for what is not possible to do, I have run errands as needed...following all rules in place,

7:44 pm

rururocks

We only have 96 cases here. And three deaths. Things are pretty under control

7:45 pm

phandmd

where is that, Ru?

7:45 pm

sukee

Hope it stays that way.

7:45 pm

rururocks

Napa Valley

7:46 pm

rururocks

It has been stable for a long time and they are testing people daily

7:47 pm

phandmd

Lucky. In Frederick County we have had 1600+ cases and at least 90 deaths.

7:48 pm

phandmd

14 of those have been from my nursing home...

7:48 pm

rururocks

That is awful

7:48 pm

phandmd

but my nursing home also has the highest survival rate. So there is that...

7:49 pm

rururocks

I will never end up in a nursing home

7:50 pm

phandmd

That is also my plan...

7:50 pm

phandmd

I mean other than working there...

7:50 pm

phandmd

it

7:50 pm

phandmd

ignore that...

7:50 pm

sukee

Some of us might not have a choice.

7:51 pm

rururocks

Yeah I have to be free to be able to torment you guys with awful puns and jokes

7:52 pm

Still need 4 Qs

7:52 pm

penquis

I am guessing if you add some letters to some of your existing words, you will find what you are looking for, Sukee

Hi pen

7:54 pm

sukee

I hope baseball can start in some way this July, I am going through major withdrawal.

7:55 pm

rururocks

Any sports really. Baseball probably not this year

7:55 pm

sukee

There is talk of July, with no fans. But they want the players to only get 25% of their salary.

7:56 pm

sukee

Somehow, I don't think the union will go for that.

7:56 pm

rururocks

Not going to happen. The players wonâ€™t do it

7:56 pm

phandmd

I agree

7:57 pm

sukee

I'll just have to make do with replays of past games.

7:57 pm

rururocks

Basketball and football yes

7:57 pm

rururocks

Those are fun sukee

7:57 pm

sukee

Yes, especially when they only show the ones your team won :)

7:58 pm

rururocks

Exactly

7:59 pm

sukee

I guess just have to wait until next year to see the young guns, hope they are getting lots of practice in.
