It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood

BzznBea
Good morning, friends.
7:15 am
jmcnrick
it is molls. *puts on cardigan*
7:15 am
MollyL
Okay, the gang is all here. *Puts out croissants, coffee and tea
7:16 am
jmcnrick
make my coffee black please
7:16 am
MollyL
Black and very strong for the lady
7:17 am
BzznBea
I set out some of the plum jam I put up yesterday. It is delicious!
7:17 am
MollyL
Mmm, plum jam. I will share my honey/pecan jam
7:18 am
BzznBea
My, that sounds wonderful!
7:19 am
BzznBea
I bought two more cases of half pints yesterday. I said that was all I was going to buy for this season. But I was told the blueberries are loaded.
7:23 am
MollyL
Bea is going to be the jammin' Queen
7:24 am
BzznBea
I give it away for Christmas gifts.
7:25 am
MollyL
I think homemade jam is a lovely gift any time
7:31 am
MollyL
II learned a new meditation word today ohmmmmm
7:32 am
BzznBea
I was cleanin out the closet where I keep my preserved foods. I found three jars of my pasta sauce! Was so excited!
7:32 am
MollyL
I love finding surprises like that.
7:33 am
MollyL
I see lasagna in your future
7:39 am
jmcnrick
the birds keep beating me to my blueberries and the bushes are loaded with green berries
7:40 am
BzznBea
You can get the nets to put over them.
7:40 am
jmcnrick
I have a net over them. :(
7:41 am
BzznBea
Darn birds!
7:41 am
jmcnrick
my sis read that tule might work better. I mean I let a berry go past pink and the next day it is gone
7:42 am
jmcnrick
and I feed the little buggers hundreds of dollars of seed each year! (away from said blueberry bushes)
7:43 am
BzznBea
I get my blueberries from a friend who doesn't want to mess with them. But Larry and I are getting some ground ready in our yard to plant blueberries in next spring. We are going to landscape with berry bushes.
7:44 am
BzznBea
Tulle might be the thing.
7:45 am
jmcnrick
well I don't have time to mess with it this year. I will see how it turns out for my sister
7:45 am
hokie carla
we have a bunch of wild blackberry plants growing in our side yard. I picked a bunch yesterday. still a bunch of red ones out there.
7:47 am
hokie carla
must need coffee- used bunch 3x there
7:48 am
BzznBea
Carla, Mr. Bea just told me that masks are mandatory in NC starting tomorrow at 5 pm.
7:49 am
hokie carla
yes, I'd heard that but didn't know when it was starting. one of my friends already asked me for some more but we are leaving tomorrow for a week of camping. maybe I'll take my machine and supplies for rainy day sewing.
7:49 am
jmcnrick
A study just was released showing that the BLM protests (where people mostly wore masks) didn't cause a spike in illness.
7:51 am
hokie carla
interesting
7:52 am
BzznBea
They are continuing to have BLM protests on a weekly, if not nightly basis in Raleigh. They are not wearing masks.
7:53 am
BzznBea
They are also finding that the spikes are coming from the 20-40 year olds.
7:53 am
jmcnrick
in DC most people wear masks--but not all. The interfaith counsel has a vigil every Friday night but we all wear masks.
7:54 am
jmcnrick
well that makes sense because they basically told them they wouldn't get the virus or if they did it wouldn't make them sick.
7:54 am
hokie carla
I think they shut everything down too early here. people are over it but now's the worst time here.
7:54 am
jmcnrick
my boy has been good about wearing a mask because his roommate is an essential worker
7:54 am
BzznBea
My nurse daughter's test came back negative. Big sigh of relief. But it is still a matter of time.
7:55 am
hokie carla
gotta go drop a car off. BBL
7:55 am
jmcnrick
I have been nagging my friends in Texas (who are mostly my age) to stay home.
8:00 am
MollyL
I have a hard time believing that large protests full of people close together, not wearing masks did not contribute to a spike in the spread of a contagious disease
8:00 am
BzznBea
I have been trying to keep quiet about it with my friends in KS. They are more rural and have had less cases, but the numbers have spiked drastically since they opened up.
8:01 am
jmcnrick
as I noted, many of the protestors wore masks and observe social distancing.
8:02 am
BzznBea
Don't you think that was the peaceful protesters? I know the ones in Raleigh, who are tearing up the town are not wearing masks.
8:03 am
jmcnrick
my s-i-l lead a protest at West point where they mark off 6 foot locations for people to stand
8:04 am
MollyL
In most of the protest news photos I have seen, people are wearing masks but no way are they 6 feet apart.
8:04 am
jmcnrick
I think you are probably right bzzn and from the information I receive from Quakers and other nuts around the country, most of the protests have been peaceful.
8:04 am
MollyL
There are a lot of factors that could be leading to another spike. Particularly all the people flocking to the beach.
8:04 am
PastorJ
Quakers are nuts?
8:05 am
jmcnrick
You are right Molls, but it is increasingly clear that there are several factors--the mask being the most important one. Outside and distance also big factors. So two out of three.
8:05 am
jmcnrick
Yes we are PastorJ. And proud of it.
8:05 am
MollyL
I thought Quakers were oats : D
8:06 am
jmcnrick
haha we aren't motor oil either
8:06 am
PastorJ
LOL! OK, if you're a Quaker you're allowed to call them nuts. I'm a United (or untied) Methodist nut myself.
8:06 am
MollyL
Well, I guess if I believed in the effectiveness of paper and cloth masks, I would buy into that.
8:07 am
jmcnrick
I was a Methodist when it became United.
8:08 am
Deeha
saw a joke video where a man had made a mask out of a wetwipe pack and he was opening the plastic flap and posting chips through it!!
8:08 am
jmcnrick
Well it does matter the number of layers and kinds. more the better. a mixture of woven and unwoven. . .life is so complecated.
8:10 am
PastorJ
That was a while back! I may actually become an untied Methodist - I'm not too happy with the denomination, since *officially* we only accept those who fit the gender and preference binary, even though that's not the majority opinion. Oh well, not going to get into that or I'll be late for work!
8:12 am
jmcnrick
it was the Vietnam war that sent me packing. But you would my friend Jim Winkler formerly the head of the UN DC office
8:16 am
BzznBea
This gird just dosen't have any rhythm.
8:19 am
hokie carla
PastorJ, I grew up in the Methodist church and was following what was going on - last I heard they were splitting but haven't heard anything lately
8:22 am
MollyL
*Puts on some R&B for the grid
8:23 am
PastorJ
Carla, we were supposed to have another global conference and vote earlier this year that would hopefully have settled things, but it was rescheduled due to the virus. I really don't know what the future holds. I think a split is inevitable; it's a question of which side ends up with the name. After the official split it will get ugly at the local congregation level, because few congregations are made up of people who all agree. We failed by wasting a lot of years not insisting on talking about it at the local level. When I was sent to serve one particular church, the council told me at the first meeting that I was never, ever, to talk about two thing: stewardship and homosexuality. Jesus talked about stewardship a lot, and was silent on homosexuality. They didn't like me much by the time I got moved somewhere else!
8:23 am
jmcnrick
they are splitting over marriage rights.
8:23 am
PastorJ
I'd love to talk about it more but (a) don't want to monopolize the chat and (b) I'm leaving for my parti-time job! Good day all.
8:24 am
jmcnrick
bye Pastor
8:27 am
hokie carla
no problem, you have a good day too.
8:28 am
hokie carla
did y'all see the latest plague about to hit us here in the southeastern us? a giant saharan dust plume is on its way the worst in 50 years - visible from the ISS. has already reached the caribbean.
8:29 am
hokie carla
sorry for the run-on sentence, I thought I put a dash there
8:30 am
hokie carla
which I realize there are a lot of grammar issues (no caps, what does a dash mean anyway, etc) but at least I want it readable.
8:32 am
hokie carla
and now I'm like Jeff Goldblum talking to myself in Jurassic Park
8:33 am
BzznBea
I saw something about that. And the locusts too.
8:33 am
rururocks
it's the biblical end of times
8:33 am
BzznBea
I think someone is trying to tell us something...
8:33 am
hokie carla
certainly feels like it it might be
8:34 am
jmcnrick
its not the end of times until I die. I keep on keeping on.
8:34 am
jmcnrick
earth is trying to tell us to quit polluting IMHO
8:35 am
BzznBea
Carla, I have 12 A's left. Not sure how that happened...
8:35 am
hokie carla
wow, bea. step it up.
8:36 am
hokie carla
I currently have 5 left from each
8:38 am
jmcnrick

8:38 am
hokie carla

8:39 am
hokie carla

8:40 am
BzznBea
LOL! I tried it too.
8:41 am
hokie carla
you just never know
8:41 am
welki
hi, babblers
8:41 am
welki

8:42 am
BzznBea
Hello. welki.
8:42 am
hokie carla

8:43 am
BzznBea
Welki, how is your family?
8:44 am
BzznBea
Greyed the A's. Feel better now.
8:45 am
hokie carla
I still have 9 left :D
8:45 am
welki
doing okay, thanks - one of my grand-daughters has a broken femur, and it's not healing as quickly as hoped, but other than that, everyone is healthy. like you, i have a daughter who's a nurse, so i'm worried for her (and her husband, a paramedic)
8:45 am
hokie carla
yikes, how did she break her femur? I know that's hard to do.
8:46 am
welki
she's 11 and was walking (yes, walking - witnesses confirmed!) off a trampoline and slipped through one of the openings
8:46 am
hokie carla
5 a's left, bea
8:47 am
hokie carla
ah, yep, trampolines are tough
8:47 am
rururocks
I hope she rebounds
8:47 am
welki
she'll spring back
8:47 am
hokie carla
saw a kid break his femur in a soccer game when my son was about that same age and they said with kids it's usually car wrecks for broken femurs
8:48 am
hokie carla
wow, ru, that one even made me groan
8:48 am
rururocks
maybe with a bounce in her step
8:48 am
welki
the only broken femur i've seen was a teenager in a car crash when i was an emt - compound fracture
8:49 am
rururocks
i'm not recording groans any more hokie.. but appreciate the gesture :D
8:49 am
rururocks
you were an EMT Too welki? holy cow
8:49 am
welki
i'm old, ru - have had lots of time to do different things
8:50 am
rururocks
my ex was like you she had so much drive and brains she could have been anything she wanted
8:50 am
welki
ru and hokie, i saw an article today about augie, the world's oldest golden - 20 years old today. wish they all lived that long
8:50 am
hokie carla
yeah, this one was really weird, it wasn't even a hard collision. the smallest kid on my son's team was chasing down the other kid and bumped into him in what looked like a very mild regular soccer collision. my son knew right away something was wrong
8:51 am
rururocks
i saw that too welki
8:51 am
hokie carla
welki, I saw that on reddit yesterday!
8:51 am
rururocks
made my day.. i just love older goldens so sweet
8:51 am
welki
key word is 'had,' ru. my get up and go has got up and gone
8:51 am
hokie carla
yep, she looked super sweet
8:51 am
rururocks
mine is almost gone now too.. I am getting ready to start phase one of retirement soon
8:52 am
rururocks
:D yes... it's time for me to spend time on myself now
8:52 am
hokie carla
I really can't picture life without a golden
8:53 am
welki
oh! i thought you meant dylan *whew*
8:53 am
rururocks
i'm not talking about the dog welki... just my get up and go
8:53 am
hokie carla
how old are you ru?
8:53 am
rururocks
dylan is going to be 11 but is still highly active
8:53 am
rururocks
I'm in my sixties hokie
8:55 am
BzznBea
Carla, where are you going camping?
8:55 am
hokie carla

my cousin suffered a broken femur. someone drove d onto a nike path and hit him.
8:56 am
hokie carla
usually is, not really looking forward to it this year
8:56 am
hokie carla
lol, I was like, wow, nike sponsors paths up there? then I realized you probably meant bike.
8:57 am
rururocks
nike paths are dangerous.. especially for those reeboks
8:57 am
hokie carla
1st pass through and 44 remain
8:57 am
72 Temple Owl
we actually have several nike parks here. old missile sites.
8:57 am
penquis
and pumas, ru....hello all....
8:57 am
rururocks
:D Lol pen
8:57 am
hokie carla
wait, for real?
8:58 am
rururocks
those pumas can sneaker up on you pen
8:58 am
72 Temple Owl
my cousin healed up well eventually.
8:59 am
penquis
yes....then i have to make a feline to safety....
8:59 am
hokie carla
that's good
9:00 am
rururocks
converse-ly i haven't been on a nike path in a long time
9:00 am
penquis
oh you must be kedding....
9:00 am
hokie carla
I'm tretorn about joining in here
9:01 am
welki
run faster, jump higher in keds!
9:01 am
72 Temple Owl
i was just the other day. most of the concrete is gone but the mounds for the missiles ad silos are still evident in the landscape- if you know what to look for.
9:01 am
penquis
adida and it was ok, carla....jump in....
9:01 am
hokie carla
and it was a nike park, TO?
9:02 am
72 Temple Owl
yes, that's it's name. many others have been renamed. the one in NNJ is in dispute, but still has much of the infratstructure for the base and the missles.
9:02 am
hokie carla
interesting
9:03 am
72 Temple Owl
i toured it with someone whose lived there, his father was in charge.
9:03 am
rururocks
everything is guided there I'd guess
9:03 am
72 Temple Owl
time's a wasting. things to do.
9:04 am
rururocks
I guess if you miss breakfast at home you can have Launch there
9:04 am
MollyL
I thought it was run faster, jump higher in PF Flyers
9:04 am
welki
yep, my mistake
9:05 am
BzznBea
I'm leaving 25 to find during my zoom meeting today. Must go get appropriately dressed.
9:05 am
hokie carla
I'm not familiar with those but I can't imagine running or jumping in Keds
9:05 am
hokie carla
why bother, a bra is fine
9:05 am
MollyL
I never know with my aging memory
9:05 am
penquis
when i was a kid i wore my brother's hand-me-down PF Flyers.....high tops....loved those sneakers....
9:05 am
hokie carla
4 a's left, bea
9:06 am
MollyL
PF Flyers are cool sneakers
9:06 am
rururocks
I wear Nike's actually i have a really wide foot so those are best for me
9:06 am
welki
try hokas, ru - they run wide
9:07 am
hokie carla
that's odd because a lot of people think Nike's are too narrow
9:07 am
rururocks
they make a wide tennis shoe..
9:07 am
penquis
men's sneakers must be different from women's....can't wear Nike's because they always seem too narrow for me....
9:07 am
hokie carla
I mostly wear Nike and my foot is narrow :D
9:07 am
hokie carla
it's actually getting really hard to find shoes that aren't super wide
9:07 am
rururocks
my feet are triple E so i'd know
9:08 am
welki
i used to wear asics, but after foot surgery, hokas were the only ones that didn't press against my scar - they're very cushiony and durable
9:08 am
hokie carla
I have a pair of hokas but they started hurting my feet after a while
9:08 am
rururocks
I've never heard of hokas.. i'll have to check them out
9:09 am
hokie carla
some hokas add like 2" to your height
9:09 am
welki
i wear hoka, bondi 6
9:09 am
MLFAN17
earlier someone asked for a clue for the st6 but the clue that was given it made it a 6/18 instead?
9:09 am
welki
<-- is short, so can use the lift :)
9:09 am
rururocks
I'd wear anything that would gain me two inches
9:10 am
hokie carla
also short, so I do like that aspect
9:10 am
hokie carla
IDK mlfan, I didn't see that
9:11 am
hokie carla
I just found an st6/18
9:11 am
hokie carla
not sure exactly what you're asking
9:13 am
MLFAN17
earlier someone asked for a clue for the st7 but the clue made it a 6 not a 7
9:14 am
hokie carla
oh, you said 6 for both so that confused me. I have an st7, not sure if there is more than one. what are you actually looking for, the 6 or the 7?
9:14 am
MLFAN17
I have the 6
9:14 am
MLFAN17
only one st7
9:15 am
hokie carla
ok, the 7 is like the pittsburgh mascot but past tense
9:22 am
rastapopolous
Ok, I can
9:22 am
rastapopolous
't find the ne7 even with morewords.
9:23 am
hokie carla
what's the point total?
9:23 am
rururocks
i can't find the second in6/18
9:23 am
rastapopolous
ne7/48
9:23 am
hokie carla
how many are there, ru? I have 2.
9:24 am
rururocks
i found it rasta
9:24 am
hokie carla
rasta - there is book, maybe stephen king ne7 things
9:24 am
rururocks
i have the in 6 plural but not the other
9:24 am
penquis
another pl?
9:25 am
rururocks
there are three in6
9:25 am
hokie carla
the 2nd one I have looks like a pl but is really more of a present tense of a verb - to bury
9:25 am
hokie carla
ok, guess I am missing that one then
9:26 am
Vicuna
with in6 to kill
9:26 am
hokie carla
omg, duh. thanks
9:26 am
rururocks
ah.. thank you vicuna
9:26 am
rururocks
wasn't looking up
9:26 am
rastapopolous
ok got it. tx. My mistake in morewrds - I told them it didn't have a letter that it had.
9:27 am
penquis
ty, vic....
9:27 am
hokie carla
up and backwords
9:27 am
hokie carla
backwards
9:27 am
rururocks
backwords are smart and spinal
9:27 am
hokie carla
I did get the de6 that is similar
9:29 am
hokie carla
are you asking for something?
9:30 am
MLFAN17
just answering about the in6's
9:30 am
MLFAN17
two of them are pl
9:43 am
hokie carla
ah, well I don't want to get all grammar nerd, but like I said below, technically one is not a pl because it is a verb. ;P
9:43 am
penquis
yes, but it is common here to refer to words ending in S as plurals....
9:45 am
penquis
well l have run out of steam for the time being.....heading out....bbl to finish....bye all....
9:45 am
hokie carla
agreed, it is common here, just trying to make it uncommon :D
9:46 am
Vicuna
Hokie, stay Grammar Nerd Strong.
9:46 am
hokie carla
it bothers me more than acronyms annoy ru and molly
9:46 am
hokie carla

10:22 am
hokie carla

I hope King has something good in the works. I was really disappointed in his last two.
10:25 am
hokie carla
I've never really liked reading his books but have always enjoyed the stories in movie form.
10:25 am
hokie carla
which goes against my "the book is always better than the movie" rule
10:26 am
hokie carla
well I am officially stuck with 27 left. guess I will go work on some other things. TTFN.
10:30 am
hurshy
if people are looking for 7s i just monkeyed an odd sc7
10:31 am
hurshy
s + toted a load in a horse-drawn vehicle
10:32 am
hurshy
and an sa7 that adds a diminutive ending to a fabric
10:33 am
hokie carla
came back with a bowl of cereal. I didn't have that but did have the sc5 that I guess is related. I thought the sc5 was old english or app. eng. for sc6
10:34 am
hurshy
name that proper noun (acronym)! motor race
10:34 am
hokie carla
NASCAR
10:34 am
hurshy
ding ding ding!!!
10:35 am
hokie carla
hurshy the fabric one is sa7? I have sa6 that seems to fit your clue
10:36 am
hurshy
well the sa6 is an adj, the 7 is... well it LOOKS more like a noun to me
10:36 am
hokie carla
found it, more like a french diminutive
10:37 am
hurshy
perhaps i should have specified that :D
10:37 am
hokie carla
now my 7's are done!
10:37 am
hokie carla
good thing I popped back in just in time for you to clue my 2 missing 7's :D
10:38 am
hokie carla
yeah, the 6 actually ends in a diminutive word ;)
10:39 am
hokie carla
that's weird that the 7 is a form of sa5 made to look like wool. having trouble picturing that.
10:39 am
hurshy
the things people think of! :)
10:41 am
hokie carla
alright, I'm out again. sure I will pop in again soon and hope some words stick out.
10:42 am
hurshy
i need whatever 2 e words come from the fourth row left-hand E that are NOT part of the group that includes EL7
10:43 am

MollyL
The e words are ee, el, en, er, et and ey

hurshy
well, i do have some of each of those
11:00 am
hurshy

11:05 am
MollyL
I hope I don't win borscht
11:06 am
hurshy
no, you win three dings, as usual :D
11:07 am
MollyL
Oh that's right. You don't give prizes
11:07 am
hurshy
the satisfaction of knowing the right answer is an inherent prize
11:08 am
hurshy
and you obviously don't want my borscht anyway
11:09 am
moolingwa
hey all, looks like a decent board today
11:09 am
hurshy
it is decent, yes
11:12 am
hurshy
just found an odd fa6 though. "is it *** from virginia to ***aware?"
11:16 am
MollyL
What? Archaic words for bundle are not in your every day vocabulary?
11:17 am
hurshy
i DO know the ca6/27, thanks to Stella Gibbons, author of Cold Comfort Farm
11:17 am
MollyL
Those Enable word list makers must be a barrel of laughs at a cocktail party. NOT
11:19 am
hurshy
ok now this one takes the cake: t + anagram of el5 - what a weird one!
11:19 am
hurshy
ah, it's an animal. lots of weird ones turn out to be animals.

11:57 am
72 Temple Owl
my basil from seed did not take this year, or i would plant it next to them.
11:57 am
72 Temple Owl
i mean, if they ate them, the pain would be less.
11:57 am
HarryHood
I planted this purple basil last year, and now it escaped my raised bed and is all over the adjacent lawn.
11:58 am
72 Temple Owl
how did it compare to green types?

72 Temple Owl

11:59 am
pythonx
I made some flavoured vinegar with the purple basil once.. It was good as salads.
11:59 am
HarryHood
no - just tasted it raw. and smelled. it's not really much like basil at all.
11:59 am
72 Temple Owl
i bought mexican and italian oregano. have not used it yet.
12:00 pm
72 Temple Owl
wow no rabbits for you!
12:00 pm
HarryHood
yes - there is a different purple basil which I'd grown previously that tasted more like basil
12:00 pm
72 Temple Owl
they really do hate basil
12:00 pm
aebmusica
please can someone help me with st6/18?
12:00 pm
HarryHood
aeb add a fishing round mechanism
12:01 pm

I'm not sure how to help with that, CArla.
1:38 pm
BzznBea
I posted at 12:55
1:39 pm
hokie carla
oh, i will look, was just referring to earlier things I read. foreign mammal, rhymes with another word
1:40 pm
hokie carla
well that was easy
1:41 pm
moolingwa
seems to be a popular word today :)
1:42 pm
hokie carla
I should probably read the chat for other ones
1:42 pm

I'm done for the day. See you all tomorrow... Maybe...

1:44 pm
HarryHood
female anatomical feature
1:45 pm
hokie carla
ah, thx
1:45 pm
HarryHood
but that doesn't answer your actual question of why you're struggling
1:46 pm
HarryHood
38. just now found the *(*#&$(*&$ volcano
1:46 pm
MollyL
Oh well, so much for my joke about high school boys and their struggles
1:46 pm
moolingwa
it's all those vowels
1:46 pm
hokie carla
4 left, all L's. I know what they are but don't know what they are.
1:46 pm
hokie carla
I guess I wasn't expecting that vowel at the end
1:47 pm
moolingwa
well that clears things up
1:47 pm
moolingwa
only have one l to go
1:48 pm
moolingwa
if you need help
1:48 pm
hokie carla
3 of them are the lo's.
1:48 pm
moolingwa
yeah, there's two that are those annoying slang/slang plural words
1:48 pm
MollyL
I think the hardest letter i to see is the one that ends in canvas dwelling. It is so twisty
1:48 pm
hokie carla
like, you think I could figure out a 5/12
1:48 pm
moolingwa
the other is similarly silly
1:49 pm
moolingwa
yes, just because you have an i, doesn't mean it's easy it's easy to see
1:50 pm
HarryHood
missing one L.
1:50 pm
moolingwa
maybe it's the same one I'm missing HH
1:50 pm
hokie carla
the other one I'm missing is a 6
1:51 pm
HarryHood
wouldn't be surprised. If ru were here he would tell us what it is
1:51 pm
hokie carla
I guess I can say le6 without giving too much away
1:51 pm
HarryHood
huh - I do not have an le6!
1:51 pm
hokie carla
when you find it let me know
1:52 pm
hokie carla
I know the pt total and where it fits on the list, but that's not really helping
1:52 pm
MollyL
Harry it rhymes with God Grant me the....
1:53 pm
hokie carla
thx, sounds like a stupid word
1:53 pm
hokie carla
found 2 of the silly LO's
1:53 pm
HarryHood
lo lo, whoa whoa, me gotta go
1:54 pm
hokie carla
and I guess the last one is pt for going to the bathroom?
1:54 pm

tipper gore would have a fit.
1:55 pm
moolingwa
we each play our own way
1:55 pm
moolingwa
no shame in that
1:55 pm
HarryHood
I will certainly usse the list when the time comes. when waiting is.
1:56 pm
MollyL
It's worse than Hitler Harry
1:56 pm
HarryHood
looey looey? or using the list?
1:57 pm
HarryHood
ugh. pb for me x2
1:57 pm
hokie carla
I did make it to 25, so you can beat that, harry
1:57 pm
moolingwa
I think you mean louie louie ;)
1:57 pm
MollyL
The obscene Kingsmen
1:57 pm
HarryHood
or louis louis, in france.
1:57 pm
hokie carla
we played louie louie in marching band one year, possibly more, and I really dislike the song now.
1:58 pm
MollyL
To-mah-to to-may-to
1:58 pm
HarryHood
but france is obscene in just so many ways :)
1:58 pm
HarryHood
did you play fleetwood mac's Tusk?
1:58 pm
MollyL
What is it about marching bands and that song? Did Mr. Holland's Opus do that?
1:58 pm
hokie carla
you may be wondering why a high school in the late 80s would be playing a song from the 50s. me too.
1:59 pm
hokie carla
I don't rem. I do love that movie but haven't seen it in years.
2:01 pm
hokie carla
we did do The Time of My Life from Dirty Dancing one year. we also did Lee Greenwood's Proud to be an American and had someone dress up as the statue of liberty and rise up onto a platform.
2:02 pm
MollyL
Okay someone explain this to me. How can lyrics be obscene and unintelligible at the same time? "the FBI spent two years investigating the lyrics before declaring they not only were not obscene but also were "unintelligible at any speed."
2:02 pm
hokie carla
another old song we did was jeremiah was a bullfrog
2:03 pm
hokie carla
LOL, Eddie Vedder should get away with anything then
2:03 pm
MollyL
A very good friend of mine. The song is actually Joy To The World
2:03 pm
HarryHood
was that during J Edgar's reign?
2:03 pm
moolingwa
One wonders why the FBI would need to be the ones investigating something such as that...
2:03 pm
hokie carla
You are correct! and now I can see the sheet music in my mind.
2:03 pm
MollyL
I never got how the Louie Louie lyrics could be obscene. No one can understand them.
2:04 pm
moolingwa
That was what I was wondering too HH
2:04 pm
hokie carla
I've never even heard that before about Louie Louie
2:04 pm
doseffing
j.?Edgar had the words from an earlier release so it had to be a conspiracy if two groups did the song
2:05 pm
hokie carla
the only word you could ever understand from Eddie Vedder was the f word in Jeremy and MTV bleeped it.
2:05 pm
MollyL
Look up the lyrics and tell me what is obscene about them. Someone had a dirty mind and was thinking what they wanted to think.
2:05 pm
ursh
last word te6/24 - cannot see it ?
2:05 pm
HarryHood
hmm I have no te6!
2:06 pm
hokie carla
because it's really weird
2:06 pm
doseffing
...I don't understand it so it must be a Communist conspiracy to corrupt our youth
2:06 pm

2:10 pm
hokie carla
wait, you're saying you didn't get it with my amazing clue? hahaha
2:10 pm
moolingwa
tx for the clue hoke, didn't know that one
2:11 pm
hokie carla
hurshy clued it in anagram earlier, took me a while to get the right order of letters
2:11 pm
moolingwa
yeah, tough one to clue
2:12 pm
hokie carla
well, I'm glad I didn't spoil it for you, moo
2:12 pm
moolingwa
well down to 6...
2:12 pm

2:14 pm
moolingwa

2:15 pm
hokie carla
so, just one 6 left?
2:15 pm
hokie carla
ok, I have an idea on the other 6
2:15 pm
moolingwa
I have an unusual f6 if that's the one you're thinking
2:15 pm
hokie carla
yep, nm then
2:16 pm
hokie carla
there is only one other 5 that I consider weird
2:16 pm
hokie carla
of course I was also missing a pl F when I went to the list
2:16 pm
hokie carla
and btw, 5 in my statement was supposed to be F
2:16 pm
moolingwa
yeah, should check those
2:17 pm
hokie carla
I know what letter the 7 is if you want to know
2:18 pm
moolingwa
that was my second guess :)
2:18 pm
hokie carla
and my last c was a 6 that I didn't know
2:19 pm
moolingwa
oh, had the 5 already
2:19 pm
moolingwa
3 to go
2:19 pm
hokie carla
which was it, sa or sc?
2:19 pm
moolingwa
ah, there's the 5...so now 2
2:20 pm
moolingwa
and the c6
2:20 pm
moolingwa
so last one is the l6
2:20 pm
hokie carla
do you want to know the part of speech?
2:22 pm
hokie carla
it is a legit word that I can see where it comes from but it was not in my vocabulary. but you probably know it.
2:22 pm
moolingwa
not sure I do, but we'll see :)
2:25 pm
hokie carla
just take it easy, you'll find it
2:25 pm
moolingwa
well, found it
2:25 pm
moolingwa
not sure I knew it
2:26 pm
moolingwa
at any rate, thanks again
2:27 pm
hokie carla
np, I must babble vicariously through you. LOL
2:28 pm
hokie carla
can't decide if I want to go to Costco, which is better, or BJ's, which is closer.
2:28 pm
moolingwa
I don't belong to either, so can't offer any advice there
2:30 pm
hokie carla
I just really dread going out in public anywhere and put it off, but we do occasionally have to. oh well, TTFN.
2:31 pm
moolingwa
Yeah, I had to go to the store two days ago to pick up some prescriptions
2:31 pm
moolingwa
and I really needed a specific nut for my daughter's bike on the weekend. Otherwise I don't go to stores right now. Get groceries delivered
2:32 pm
MollyL
I guess they don't say the Se8 Prayer in NZ
2:32 pm
moolingwa
I'm sure they do, but it's not something that I have a lot of experience with
3:06 pm
bichon
le 6/24, pls
3:11 pm

It rhymes with God grant me the se8
4:17 pm

To just remember who I am, whoa-uh
