8:27 am
BzznBea
fo8 is a compound word, bichon
8:27 am
jmcnrick
waved the Saab goodbye. probably at a salvage yard now. :(
8:27 am
welki
we can spin that into a covid-related side effect :)
8:28 am
jmcnrick
sure. why not
8:29 am
BzznBea
Did you have a wreck, jm?
8:29 am
welki
always sad to see them go
8:32 am
rururocks
saabs are a wreck upon release at the factory
8:32 am
MLFAN17
I found a fo7 which is a compound
8:32 am
MollyL
I literally waved goodbye to my last car (after 10 years) as it was towed off to the place I donated it.
8:33 am
welki
aside from an audi s5 cabriolet, they were our favorites, ru - and not one wreck in the bunch
8:34 am
rururocks
well.. ours wasn't .. it was the biggest POS we've ever owned
8:35 am
welki
we had six of them, you got the lemon
8:35 am
MollyL
Masks are only required in stores here. It is up to you how you proceed in open areas. It is very difficult to walk or run with them on, so many only pull their masks up if they come into contact with others. And they are certainly not required while driving alone in your car.
8:36 am
MollyL
My mask comes off the minute I hit the door of the grocery store. I can't stand the things.
8:36 am
rururocks
the masks don't bother me that much..
8:37 am
HarryHood
not looking forward to wearing it all day in class come september
8:37 am
HarryHood
esp when I have to put on my glasses to read, and they get all fogged up.
8:37 am
BzznBea
You do not have to wear a mask when you are outside exercising, but you better have on handy.
8:38 am
HarryHood
hello welki :)
8:38 am
HarryHood
I don't wear one to run - I just give people coming the opposite way a wide berth.
8:39 am
welki
some schools are considering using face shields instead of masks - that's an option
8:39 am
HarryHood
love the face shield - I'd look like a welder!
8:40 am
HarryHood
and walk around the halls saying "luuuke I am your faaaather"
8:40 am
welki
my guess is that, with kids, you'd get better compliance with the shields. and yes harry, a face shield and a tool belt - wowza!
8:40 am
MLFAN17
their was a discussion on tv this am about the pros and cons of wearing both at the same time
8:41 am
BzznBea
I saw a picture of dr.s attending to a covid patient. They had a picture of themselves on the gown so the patient would know what they looked like.

her red saab was a hot little car - but i think she's happy with her new one, the amphibious tesla :)
8:54 am

most saabs get hot getting stuck on the side of the road I've heard
8:55 am
PastorJ
I used to see a Saab around here with a personalized plate, "SNAAB". Later I saw one with the plate "SLAAB."
8:57 am
welki
you sure have a hate on for saabs, ru - good thing they stopped production, or the rage would be eternal :D
8:58 am
rururocks
i'll have to tell you my SAAB story some time Welki.. we did get a brand new Lemon for sure.. but i didn't like her first saab either, very uncomfortable care and handled terribly
8:59 am
welki
what year/model was it?
9:00 am
rururocks
I can't remember .. i will have to ask Laurie.. it was maybe a 1990 or 1992 or something like that.. we've had lexus cars every since
9:00 am
PastorJ
HI welki! Also bye, welki - just on my way out, have a good day!
9:01 am
rururocks
we bought it new.. a turbo.. we traded it in with 29,000 miles on it.. it had more miles on a tow truck than we drove it
9:02 am
rururocks
AAA almost cancelled her membership from too much usage... she used to get xmas cards from all the tow truck drivers in the area
9:03 am
welki
that's bad - we had nothing but good experiences with ours. we started buying them when we were broke - old cars, my first was a 9000 turbo - most difficult thing was finding a mechanic
9:05 am
rururocks
the final straw was they worked on the car (the dealer was more than an hour away over a mountain range here) and she got about 3 miles from the dealership and asked me to come get her... I told her I would only come if we'd buy her a new car that ran.. it spent most of its life in the shop and it never ran well
9:07 am
welki
we got rid of our last two only because saab stopped production and parts became really hard to order
9:08 am
jmcnrick
sorry occasionally I have to work.
9:08 am
jmcnrick
my Saab died of old age and I donated it to the Kidney Foundation who were very helpful in the last year of my husband's life.
9:09 am
jmcnrick
I now have a Tesla which is the most beautiful and comfortable and fun car I have ever owned. It is a kick to drive!
9:10 am
jmcnrick
I had decided that I needed an automatic because I didn't want to be the old lady who hesitates and let's her car roll down the hill or stall out.
9:11 am
rururocks
safe to say you get a charge out of your tesla
9:11 am
jmcnrick
But I wanted a car that was good for the environment and when
9:11 am
JaxH66
My fun car is a british racing green mini cooper. My sensible car is an audi
9:11 am
hokie carla
hi! I just got a manual for the first time in years - they now have a button you can push to keep from rolling back on a hill. haven't had to use it yet. :D
9:12 am
rururocks
i learned to drive on the streets of SF.. i can do clutches on a hill
9:12 am
jmcnrick
when I researched electric cars the articles would say this and that and almost always end with--but its not a Tesla.
9:13 am
jmcnrick
I can do clutches on hills now. . . it was later that I was worried about.
9:13 am
hokie carla
I learned to drive in the rolling hills of the Appalachians, not as bad as SF, but definitely some hills.
9:13 am
JaxH66
Most people in the uk drive manual cars. An automatic isn't standard.
9:13 am
jmcnrick
my Tesla is both my fun car and my sensible car
9:13 am
hokie carla
PS - in the Appalachians we call manual transmission cars "straight drives"
9:14 am
hokie carla
jax, I was shopping for a manual mini here in US and they are really hard to find. our mini dealer had about 20 used ones and only 2 or 3 of those were not automatics
9:15 am
rururocks
i like the minis they're at least cute
9:15 am
rururocks
and great for tall people
9:16 am
jmcnrick
haha every time I took my saab to some place with a valet parking attendent I would ask if they knew how to drive a stick before I would hand them my key
9:16 am
JaxH66
Our mini is automatic as my hubby is disabled, but it was extra and the normal is manual. This is semi automatic, so you can drive through the gears, but no clutch needed. Love driving it (it's his car really, but as he can't drive at the moment, i've claimed it for the time being!)
9:16 am
hokie carla
I ended up getting a Honda Civic which is way cuter than it sounds. It's a beautiful blue color too. But everyone jokingly asks what grade I'm in.
9:17 am
jmcnrick
there is so much room in my Tesla what with no drive train bump and no internal combustion motor no radiator no fan no . . . .
9:17 am
rururocks
i had a few hondas in my life.. i liked them
9:17 am
hokie carla
we have an audi and an acura that you are automatic but you can change gears. I never use that or understood the point.
9:17 am
rururocks
those are big positives jm
9:18 am
JaxH66
Colour is so important on a car. Try never to go for the black/white/silver/grey options.
9:18 am
hokie carla
last honda I had ru, was an odyssey :D
9:18 am
jmcnrick
the only up keep is tires, wind shield wipers and wiper fluid
9:18 am
hokie carla
agreed, jax. we have 2 white cars and I was like, I do not want anymore white!
9:18 am
rururocks
oops.. i have a grey truck and a black audi
9:18 am
jmcnrick
I bought used so got stuck with black. I wanted blue
9:19 am
rururocks
JM has been in my audi
9:19 am
hokie carla
we have a chevy zr2 colorado truck and it is called electric blue, but looks purple a lot depending on the light. so we have 2 white and 2 blue vehicles.
9:19 am
JaxH66
In our house we have green, orange, bright blue and midnight blue cars.
9:19 am
jmcnrick
haha I was just thinking that ru
9:20 am
jmcnrick
my saab was red. the cops would follow me in small towns.
9:20 am
hokie carla
my honda is called aegean blue
9:20 am
rururocks
they were just waiting until it broke down to help you JM
9:21 am
hokie carla
I've always heard red is a cop magnet
9:22 am
rururocks
red and yellow for sure hokie
9:22 am
rururocks
i am stuck
9:22 am
hokie carla
not finding much here either
9:23 am
jmcnrick
I would get stopped for minor things like one burnt out taillight. Then they would see it was an old lady driving and they wouldn't follow me the next time
9:26 am
hokie carla
I think I saw my missing c is a ca7 that is new to molly and bea but not able to figure it out. can anyone spare a clue?
9:27 am

Ok I won't go looking
9:42 am
jmcnrick
it's funny how you see a word one way and there is a totally different way to look at it
9:42 am
hokie carla
yep, happens to me a lot here
9:43 am
MollyL
Or when you can not see a word for the meaning suggested due to lack of punctuation
9:44 am
hokie carla
yesterday or recently we had dang and I was like, let me try dang-er. oh, it took! then it hit me that danger is a real word.
9:47 am
MollyL
Well, I don't see why the guy who says "dang" all the time wouldn't be a dang-er : D

As if anything about this game will ever change, but I think it should say "whatever word you entered" does not appear in The Enable Word list (not in the dictionary) because a lot of the words Enable won't take DO appear in the dictionary

I don't "miss" them per se, but I do wonder how many words there might be if there was one in the grid. The other day, it was a big grid but the E and D were not near each other. I wondered how many words there woul have been if they had been next to each other.

Before the plague, I hardly drank at all. These days, I can't say that!
6:25 pm
origami
I used to have to attend two days of back-to-back all day meetings (out of town) once a month. It was the pits.
6:26 pm
jan
How did you manage it? Because I have meetings all day tomorrow and the next day. The only good thing is that I can't be in another meeting that was scheduled at the same time!
6:27 pm
jan
Worse yet, they get started at 6 am my time--since most of the participants are in the UK.
6:28 pm

Sometimes we would have the most mind-numbing presentations by IT people.

Once the UK folks have signed off, I think a G and T for us survivors is definitely called for.
6:33 pm

BTW, origami, I love your icon.

I think most meetings are a complete and total waste of time. I can't even imagine the point of two days worth of back to back meetings. There just isn't that much to say about anything.
6:40 pm
origami
They were working meetings during an administrative review. They involved the dreaded term "break up into small groups."
6:43 pm
MollyL
I don't know how you do it. I would be looking for a window to jump out of. I have a very low threshold for administrative bullshit.

Oh, ever since my Masochistic Baby went and left me
I got nothin' to hit but the wall.
She loved me when I beat her,
But I started actin' sweeter,
And that was no way to treat her at all.
Yes, she is the one that I'm dreamin' of,
And you always hurt the one you love.
And ever since my Masochistic Baby went and left me,
I got nothin' to hit but the wall, oh no
Nothin' to beat but the eggs
Nothin' to belt but my pants
Nothin' to whip but the cream
Nothin' to punch but the clock
Nothin' to strike but a match.

Yes I know I saw him last year in a Nashville club. Normally it is standing room only but they had chairs for all the old folks. It was alos one of the few concerts I went to where the line for men's room was way way longer than the ladies. We all laughed about that. He can still play an amazing guitar. I hope I get to see him again
