Darn. I thought the
"long no space message
blows the chat width thing"
had been fixed. I guess
it depends on how long
the error is.

Still raining, Molly?

7:26 am

MollyL

No, it's sunny with a hint of cool in the air. I have to laugh at people who get their coats out at the first hint of cool weather.

7:27 am

BzznBea

Like it is going to stay cool in August...

7:27 am

MollyL

On the other side, there are the people I see jogging in 90 degree weather in long sleeves.

7:28 am

BzznBea

It is probably the sports fabric that wicks and is a sunscreen.

7:29 am

BzznBea

I have a neighbor that wears jeans and long sleeve flannel shirts every day of the year.

My sister found the box of letters my parents wrote to each other before they got married. What a treasure. It is a shame that letter writing has become a thing of the past. A lot of history was passed down that way.

eyedirt is not a word? or eyesnot (discussed the last time it was in the grid). ah, but now I remember it.

9:33 am

Too bad that Enable doesn't take bodge as a word. My Brit relatives use it all the time--it means to cobble together a repair or solution to something, usually awkwardly

9:34 am

hokie carla

lol, haven't heard that before, but it sounds very british

9:35 am

jan

One of my brothers-in-law refers to himself as the Artful Bodger.

9:36 am

hokie carla

nice

9:42 am

I saw some bodgers on a Countryfile programme. they usually work in wood, apparently, both repairing and building wooden items.

well, I have made it to 20 left but am stuck now. will go do some actual stuff. TTFN.

good morning everyone

mattygroves

Good afternoon!

9:56 am

cybernan

is it afternoon there now matty? -- good afternoon :)

9:56 am

cybernan

It is only 7:56 am here

9:56 am

mattygroves

It's 4.00pm, near enough ;)

9:56 am

cybernan

yes - 8 hours - I should have thought about that

9:57 am

mattygroves

How's Canada?

9:58 am

cybernan

lots of forest fires around at the moment

9:58 am

mattygroves

That's not ideal. Thinking of you!

10:00 am

cybernan

closest 2 are about 50km away, so everything is OK at the moment -- just hope we don't get any more lightning storms

10:04 am

mattygroves

We had some very impressive thunder storms here a few days ago - lots of trees down - fortunately we don't have overhead electricity wires, so didn't lose any power

10:06 am

cybernan

It's just so dry here and we've had a lot of lightning over the last few days, but very little moisture.

10:07 am

MLFAN17

io 5 clue pls/

10:07 am

cybernan

speaking of which - as anyone seen ru last night or today? - wondering if he is under evacuation alert or orders

10:07 am

10:12 am

mattygroves

We've got high winds predicted tomorrow. My OH is playing golf, so that should be interesting

10:13 am

MollyL

I always forget that is other half and my first thought is old husband

10:14 am

mattygroves

Haa! He is older than I am, but isn't my husband and isn't THAT old (though he does qualify for the seniors' discount at his golf club next year)

10:14 am

zoozzoom

Oh dear my doctor crashed his car into a wall in July. and then ran away from thbe scene. He was found a while later and was three times over the drink driving limit. He has to go to court tomorrow. Trust it to be my doctor!

10:17 am

zoozzoom

Only found out today. No wonder I could not get hold of him when I needed.

10:17 am

cybernan

that's not old! mine qualified for senior discount 30 years ago :)

10:17 am

zoozzoom

Thankfully he did not hurt anyone or worse. What an idiot.

10:17 am

cybernan

must run -- have to take the car in this am

10:29 am

zoozzoom

Looks like I am talking to myself. Everyone seems to have gone as soon as I turned up. Oh well. Bye.

10:31 am

bichon

fr 6/36, pls

10:33 am

rururocks

don't believe that doctor if he tells you to cut back on your drinking zooz

amelu0218

LOL!

10:36 am

MollyL

Damn, and people ask me why I am afraid of doctors

10:37 am

rururocks

i'm only afraid of proctologists

10:39 am

jan

Ah...the snap of the glove. Be glad you don't have to fear gynecologists.

10:40 am

bichon

Never ha a colonoscopy ru?

10:41 am

rururocks

only one.. but i was knocked out for that

10:41 am

bichon

They always knock you out

10:42 am

rururocks

first time i'd been knocked out ever

10:43 am

jan

Hmm...maybe not anymore. I got one where they just gave me stuff to make me drowsy and spacey. At one point, the doctor asked if I wanted to watch the screen as the procedure. Hahaha,,,nope.

10:44 am

MollyL

I would rather see a gynecologist than a proctologist any day.

10:45 am

jan

Mine palpates the ovaries via the rear entrance, so not much difference. Except for the ice-cold speculum part.

10:45 am

jan

And I apologize for the TMI stuff...

10:45 am

bichon

It's not fun, but we can have abies

10:46 am

bichon

*babies

10:49 am

rururocks

if men had to deliver babies we would have a smaller world population for sure

10:49 am

MollyL

You want to know how to crack a room full of women up? Tell them to picture a man in labor.

10:52 am

rururocks

i think men get the best part of making babies

10:56 am

MollyL

Maybe the easiest part. And with all of the pains in the ass of being pregnant, it is pretty cool to grow a life inside you and deliver it into the world.

aaaaargh

10:59 am

MollyL

Hurshy is playing pirate again

10:59 am

hurshy

no i'm just frustrated

11:00 am

hurshy

because i had ... sometimes i have these very vivid and horrifying dreams that are completely inexplicable, and then i do not feel rested the next day

11:00 am

amelu0218

my brick wall (International Talk Like a Pirate Day is September 19th, she's just practicing) hit at 50 to go.

11:00 am

rururocks

i'm at fifty two.. thanks for the wall warning

11:01 am

amelu0218

They're gonna be toopid words...

11:01 am

hurshy

this one was about a woman who was stabbing her family members and cutting off parts, and then it went to flashbacks of her childhood, she seemed to have reactive attachment disorder

11:02 am

hurshy

i haven't watched or read anything like that and i do not know why such a dream would occur

11:02 am

MollyL

Oh Freud would have a field day with you

11:02 am

amelu0218

maybe you're supposed to write a book

11:02 am

hurshy

yeah

11:03 am

tceicher

fa

11:03 am

rururocks

maybe you're going to meet stephen King soon

11:03 am

amelu0218

the next Stephen King and we knew her first

11:03 am

hurshy

if i were to write a book i would not want to write about anything so gruesome! i'd be much more likely to do PG Wodehouse style stories - light and frothy

11:03 am

origami

Note to self: tread carefully around hursh

11:03 am

MollyL

Stabbing in dream symbolism represents a fear of betrayal

11:03 am

Hi saanich and mool

11:04 am

hey saani, ori...happy Thursday to you both

11:04 am

rururocks

hi saanich and ori

11:04 am

MollyL

And if she says she is bringing fava beans and chianti...MOVE

11:04 am

rururocks

LOL

11:04 am

hurshy

sometimes i hope that somehow the horror and pain of these things is being supernaturally siphoned off someone who is really experiencing these things and dumped onto me, because then there would actually be some purpose to it

11:04 am

origami

Hi ru

11:05 am

saanichcat

same to you mool. It's RAINING here! Thank god.

11:05 am

moolingwa

another hot one here for us today

11:05 am

rururocks

wish it would rain here

11:06 am

origami

Rain would be good. There's a chance I will have house guests escaping the fires. Sigh.

11:06 am

saanichcat

we have fires. How are the ones near you ru?

11:06 am

moolingwa

indeed CA wearing it again, has been a real rough few years

11:06 am

rururocks

still raging out of control.. lots of evacuations.. I am prepared to go

11:07 am

saanichcat

good luck to all aroung fires.

11:07 am

rururocks

yes.. lots of friends have evacuated

11:07 am

origami

Parts of Vacaville and Winters are being evacuated.

11:08 am

MollyL

Little House Full Of Machetes by Hurshy

11:08 am

saanichcat

wow that's close

11:08 am

rururocks

vacaville for sure ori.. it's a mess there

11:08 am

rururocks

is 80 reopened?

11:08 am

moolingwa

Winters, wow...didn't think there was enough fuel around there

11:08 am

rururocks

plenty of fuel mool.. i'ts all grassland

11:08 am

moolingwa

used to live in Davis many years ago

11:09 am

origami

Lots of grassland around there mool. I lived in Davis for many years, also.

11:09 am

MollyL

Apparently, you have lived just about everywhere

11:09 am

rururocks

anything near berryessa is always under threat of fires, as is anything near clear lake

11:09 am

moolingwa

would occasionally visit the Buckhorn there in Winters

11:09 am

moolingwa

yeah, it does feel that way sometimes Molly

11:09 am

amelu0218

84 (91) temp here with more afternoon thunderboomers. radar looks like they're trying to skirt us but I don't hold much faith in that, it is August on the Gulf Coast, after all.

11:10 am

origami

Ah, the Buckhorn :D And the Palms Playhouse

11:10 am

moolingwa

Don't figure on moving much going forward though, pretty happy here in Colorado

11:12 am

rururocks

i have one more move in my life I think

11:13 am

moolingwa

I can never rule out a move of course...conditions can always change

11:13 am

origami

I hope to have one more move.

11:14 am

rururocks

i hope so too ori..i hope you end up there too

11:14 am

rururocks

maybe you and your neighbor can go in on a duplex :D

11:14 am

moolingwa

I think my wife would like to live in NZ at some point, but not sure that'll happen

11:15 am

rururocks

i'd love to live in NZ

11:15 am

rururocks

or BC

11:15 am

origami

I would wind up incarcerated, ru

11:15 am

moolingwa

BC would be fun

11:15 am

hurshy

i'd move to NZ if i could, one of the few places that is poised to do ok with climate change

11:15 am

rururocks

lOL

11:15 am

hurshy

that's why a lot of the hyperrich are buying property there

11:15 am

moolingwa

NZ is a long way from anywhere

11:16 am

hurshy

yeah, that's one of its advantages, not likely to get a lot of climate refugees

11:16 am

moolingwa

Australia is a 3 1/2 hour flight away

11:16 am

tceicher

te

11:19 am

MollyL

I think New Zealand is a great place to move if you are going to stay put. As previously stated, it is a long way from anywhere. So if you intend to travel, it might get weird and definitely expensive.

11:19 am

moolingwa

yes, living there can be quite expensive, because it's so far and relatively smallish population ~5M

11:20 am

moolingwa

But certainly well stocked with fresh produce, seafood, dairy, certain meats

11:20 am

hurshy

i worked for a man who spent about half his time in NZ and half in east coast US, and it wasn't split like 6 months here and 6 months there, it was like, couple of weeks here, couple of weeks there. i couldn't understand how he could deal with jet lag that often.

11:20 am

MollyL

I'm not sure how many people can dig 14 hour plane rides

11:20 am

moolingwa

Clothing, electronics...housing, those things can be quite expensive

11:20 am

moolingwa

yeah, that doesn't seem like fun

11:21 am

moolingwa

From the East coast you're looking at about 20 hours of travel...about 5 to LA, a 90-120 minute layover and then the 12-13 hours to Auckland

11:21 am

moolingwa

And that doesn't include the travel time to and from the airport

11:22 am

MollyL

That is insane

11:22 am

MLFAN17

ge6 clue pls?

11:22 am

moolingwa

I've done it a few times, but would do it on a monthly basis

11:22 am

saanichcat

it's a rough trip

11:23 am

saanichcat

but well worth the hassles

11:23 am

moolingwa

ge6 something you might be doing on a horse ML

11:23 am

moolingwa

sorry, would not do it on a monthly basis

11:23 am

saanichcat

ty mool

11:24 am

moolingwa

Though I find any flight over 5 hours starts to feel the same

11:25 am

moolingwa

longest one I did was from Singapore to Newark, NJ...direct flight, 19 3/4 hours

11:25 am

moolingwa

Think it was the longest commercial direct flight, don't think they do it anymore

11:25 am

amelu0218

dayum! that's a long time aloft!

11:26 am

MLFAN17

i am lost dont knwo

11:26 am

hurshy

that reminds me of a house episode

11:26 am

moolingwa

yeah, in fact on that trip I circumnavigated the globe. We went over Europe and India on the way there, then up past Japan on the way back

11:26 am

MLFAN17

i went from the washington metro area to Korea

11:26 am

moolingwa

makes the horse go faster ML

11:27 am

moolingwa

But it was Singapore Airlines, all seats were business class (though the cost was economy class)...very nice airline

11:27 am

amelu0218

you probably have the pt of it, mlf

11:28 am

hurshy

babble always makes me think how many things could be words, in that they are pronounceable and whatnot, but they just didn't happen to be chosen. fogel, for example. that could totally be a word. why not?

11:32 am

hurshy

Fs Finished!

11:32 am

moolingwa

have to come up with a definition

11:32 am

hurshy

oh wait there are two more f

11:33 am

11:33 am

i hope to goodness they are fr

11:33 am

MLFAN17

L words done here too

11:36 am

MollyL

According to the dictionary, fogel is a word. It's a British term for a silk scarf.

11:36 am

hurshy

woohoo! that's awesome, thanks molly

11:36 am

MollyL

Sorry, a silk handkerchief. Didn't mean to bodge the fogel.

11:37 am

MollyL

I feel like I am speaking Jabberwocky

11:37 am

hurshy

Kitten Lady has a jabberwocky-themed litter of kittens right now!

11:38 am

saanichcat

that funny Molly!

11:38 am

hurshy

there's Brillig, Mimsy, Calloo, Callay, and... Wabe i think? and then they found the mom and she's Tumtum

11:39 am

MollyL

Kitten Lady?

11:40 am

Wendrie

I'm always sad that bodge isn't a babble word

11:40 am

hurshy

yes, Hannah Shaw is her real name, she's the daughter of some rock star and she fosters kittens and now other babies too, right now she also has some ducklings, she's had piglets a couple of times

11:40 am

saanichcat

I tried it anyway Wendrie

11:41 am

MollyL

Oh jeeze, apparently she digs ink too.

11:41 am

hurshy

yes :)

12:46 pm

moolingwa

12:46 pm

hurshy

12:46 pm

moolingwa

MollyL

*Bets Carla got that "seems like this student is not getting enough attention at home" comment on her report card

12:52 pm

hurshy

wow, i can't imagine putting such a comment on a report card! but maybe that is because i taught at a private school where you don't want to piss off your customers

12:54 pm

Dorens

I taught at public schools. We would have been in huge trouble if we said that, hurshy!

12:55 pm

MollyL

It is right up there with "doesn't get along well with others". Things were different in the 1960's.

12:55 pm

Aussieme

Hey, Dorens, long time no see

12:56 pm

cybernan

can't imagine putting that on a report card either -- it is even a tricky situation to address at a p-t conference

12:57 pm

Dorens

"Doesn't get along with others" describes the student. Making comments about home environment strictly verboten!!

12:57 pm

Dorens

Hi aussie - how've you been?

12:57 pm

Aussieme

Hi, Nan

12:57 pm

hokie carla

I was definitely not in school in the 60's. :D and that was sarcasm earlier about the accolades in case you didn't notice.

12:58 pm

Dorens

I grew up in the 50's and I can't imagine anyone stating that ever

12:58 pm

MollyL

That is interesting because when a student is having trouble in school, it is often asked if there are any problems at home. That addresses the home environment.

12:58 pm

Pretty good for the most part Dorens, except my Diabetes is kicking my tushie big time. I'm now type 1, insulin dependent, and it has affected my eyes too. I am blind for the most part in my right eye, and having monthly injections in the eye to try to correct it.

12:59 pm

Aussieme

Hey, Peri, very long time no see too

1:00 pm

periwinkle

HI Aussie, Hi Dorens

1:00 pm

Dorens

Yes, Molly. Privately, verbally in a face to face conference. But to write it? Never. I was school counselor. Often addressed home environment privately. For good reason, sometimes.

1:00 pm
