*Puts out coffee, croissants and gluten free muffins to see which quiet Babble player will snatch them up

7:35 am

hokie carla

well, that's mighty nice of you.

7:35 am

MollyL

Don't go spreading rumors that I'm nice Carla. It will ruin my reputation here.
: D

7:36 am

hokie carla

:D

7:36 am

BzznBea

I'll add some of my home made jams.

7:37 am

hokie carla

bea! long time no see.

7:37 am

BzznBea

Carla, what is the news on your dad?

7:38 am

hokie carla

not good, he has been in the hospital since Mon. with bedsores. they have been trying to get him to a nursing home, which they found a spot yesterday, but then the dr. didn't want to move him and said she wanted to put him under hospice.

7:39 am

BzznBea

I'm sorry. How is your mom doing?

7:41 am

hokie carla

he had a barium swallow test and they said nothing is going down the right place. I went last weekend and he was only eating one bite of food per meal.they asked about a feeding tube but we were all against that.

7:42 am

hokie carla

I think she is doing okay. I will probably go back again soon. supposed to move the oldest in to his college townhouse on Tues.

7:43 am

BzznBea

It has to be hard for her, not being able to see him, but it also has to be a great relief that he is being takien care of.

7:43 am

BzznBea

Will college be online? I haven't been keeping up with the news.

7:45 am

hokie carla

yes. he is actually allowed 1 visitor at a time but it's a really long walk from the car and she can't make it with her hips and back. my brother took her one day and pushed her in a wheelchair but then he had to go all the way back out in his car and wait there to go back in and get her.

7:45 am

BzznBea

Russian ruler alert.

7:45 am

Aloyisius

good ole volcano too.. hi all

7:45 am

hokie carla

they said while under hospice he will be allowed 4 visitors at a time. he really doesn't know anyone anymore.

7:46 am

hokie carla

ha! I got the ruler last night.

7:46 am

MollyL

Sorry about your Dad, Carla. Getting your folks into nursing care is tough. I have been down that road, so I sympathize.

7:46 am

hokie carla

I want lizard or wizard, alas, no L or W

7:47 am

BzznBea

I know it is a tough decision to move to hospice. But I'm sure your dad is ready to end the sufering.

7:48 am

hokie carla

thanks, molly. it's been esp. hard for my mom to find any help right now. thanks, covid! you'd think there would be resources for old people but not where they are.

7:48 am

hokie carla

yes, bea, none of us want to see him suffering anymore

7:49 am

MollyL

I think COVID is complicating health care in a lot of ways.

7:50 am

hokie carla

yep

7:52 am

BzznBea

Is the RV redo finished?

7:52 am

hokie carla

his regular doctor is horrible. he should have ordered a hospital bed weeks ago and done something.

7:53 am

hokie carla

for the most part, bea, still have a little list of things to do.

7:54 am

hokie carla

and I need to shorten 2 sets of curtains that I made too long. also need to finish my quilt. I put the top on the bed last week and it looks so good in there.

7:55 am

hokie carla

not sure how I want to quilt it though

7:55 am

hokie carla

and I had a border fabric calculation mishap, so I'm making matching pillow shams

7:56 am

MLFAN17

hi hokie

7:56 am

MLFAN17

hi bzz

7:56 am

hokie carla

hi mlfan

7:56 am

BzznBea

I have been working on three quilt tops. Need to get them basted and quilted. I have a large one I am taking to a longarmer. I can't quilt it...

7:57 am

MLFAN17

either of you have rain yet?

7:57 am

hokie carla

it is raining here and windy

7:57 am

BzznBea

We had a storm last night. Cloudy now.

7:58 am

MollyL

Bea is The Quilting Queen
: D

7:58 am

MLFAN17

we have a little of both at the moment

7:58 am

hokie carla

yeah, this one is king size and I'm a little leery of doing it myself but I'm going to give it a try. just not sure if I want to do straight line or try chalk/stencil or do FMQ.

7:58 am

MLFAN17

bzz did it last long?

7:58 am

welki

morning, folks

7:58 am

hokie carla

hi welki

7:59 am

BzznBea

Actually, Molly, I am the piecing queen. Not so much the quilting part.

7:59 am

hokie carla

LOL

7:59 am

BzznBea

Not sure, mlf, I slept through most of it.

7:59 am

MollyL

I have to make a beer run in a little bit and that's it for my outdoor activities today. We are supposed to have rain and storms all day. Thanks Laura.

7:59 am

BzznBea

Good morning, welki.

8:00 am

hokie carla

I'm not even really good at piecing. I had to use freezer paper squares on this one to square up the blocks.

8:00 am

BzznBea

I've been sewing scraps of Christmas fabric together then trimming it down to 10.5" blocks.

8:02 am

MollyL

Bea takes Christmas gifts around singing "I wish you a quilted Christmas"
: D

8:02 am

MollyL

"And a jammy New Year"

8:03 am

hokie carla

those blocks I could probably do

8:03 am

welki

i can cut a straight line in glass, but fabric? no way

8:04 am

hokie carla

I still have the 10 or so quilt tops my grandmother had made that I am going to quilt for my cousins. I need to get on that!

8:05 am

hokie carla

welki, with a ruler and a rotary cutter it's fairly easy

8:05 am

hokie carla

mr. homie just broke my best ruler using it to cut the flooring in our RV remodel

8:06 am

welki

nope, i am horrible. at the animal shelter, they asked me to cut some fabric to make snuffle-mats - even with the straight edge and rotary cutter, i had a rough time.

8:06 am

welki

70% lack of patience and 30% total ineptitude

8:07 am

hokie carla

well, sometimes the straight edge moves on you

8:08 am

hokie carla

anyone find the 8? I saw it was za but I think I'm going to need a clue.

8:08 am

welki

not yet

8:08 am

BzznBea

Ends with a deriv of not loose

8:09 am

hokie carla

hmm, some kind of rock or mineral?

8:09 am

hokie carla

got it, thx

8:09 am

hokie carla

mineral it is

8:10 am

BzznBea

Yes, a mineral

8:10 am

hokie carla

this grid is much harder for me than yesterday's

8:10 am

BzznBea

I didn't do yesterday's but this one was tough.

8:11 am

BzznBea

I need to get to the Farmer's Market. Hope to see you all tomorrow.

8:11 am

hokie carla

bye bea!

8:15 am

MollyL

Fresh vegetables for the Bea family today

8:21 am

hokie carla

stuck at 52 left. would at least like to make 50 before succumbing to the list, but I don't know.

8:21 am

welki

me too - 52 left

8:22 am

welki

midget

8:22 am

welki

oops

8:22 am

welki

hahaha - 51

8:22 am

hokie carla

thx! I had a shortened version of that word (no pun intended), but didn't have that

8:23 am

welki

down to 49 - coffee time

8:24 am

hokie carla

also 49 now ;D

8:26 am

welki

we buy some of our produce from one of the hutterite colonies in the area. for the last month or so, they have had the tiniest, most delicious new potatoes i've ever had.

8:26 am

welki

(she said, out of the blue)

8:27 am

welki

i smash them, roast them, put them in the air fryer - they always come out perfectly

8:27 am

hokie carla

yum, that would be good right now, some new potatoes fried up in a pan

8:27 am

hokie carla

I am not familiar with hutterite colonies

8:27 am

hokie carla

well, that sounds good too!

8:27 am

welki

yeah - let's put some bacon in there

8:28 am

welki

they're similar in belief/philosopy to the amish and mennonites

8:29 am

hokie carla

that's what I was wondering/assuming

8:30 am

welki

some colonies (members) don't mingle much with us outsiders, but i've been buying from the same couple for nearly 15 years and have come to know them, watch their children grow - very nice folks

8:31 am

hokie carla

you should ask what their secret is for new potatoes ;)

8:31 am

rururocks

Sounds culty to me

8:31 am

welki

(this colony makes really good pickles and saskatoon pies)

8:31 am

hokie carla

what's in a saskatoon pie?

8:31 am

welki

i'm sure the secret is **fertilizer** - so let's not go there :D

8:32 am

welki

saskatoons are like meaty blueberries, they grow wild on the prairies and are cultivated, too

8:32 am

hokie carla

ru, easy benchmark today - I still have 48 left

8:32 am

welki

hi ru

8:33 am

8:49 am

Jeanius421

8:50 am

hokie carla

8:53 am

hokie carla

struggling with the a's even with the list

9:03 am

hokie carla

10:19 am

cybernan

good morning all ---- just read the chat and envying welkie -- the Hutterites grow the best veggies. I can almost taste those new potatoes and I used to get my peas and carrots from them too. Also missing the TAber corn :)

10:22 am

welki

hi nan - they're a little pricey, but worth it for fresh veg and to support local farmers. their corn (i think) is better than taber - or i've never had the good stuff from taber

10:23 am

welki

i've also started buying most of my beef from a butcher who sources from alberta ranchers - primo stuff, and no waste, which makes it hurt less in the wallet

10:23 am

cybernan

used to buy the corn from Valgardson's - peaches & cream

10:24 am

cybernan

lol - I just realized that was 30 years ago now

10:24 am

welki

haha - the corn king!

10:25 am

welki

which reminds me that when i lived in nj, the county fair would crown an annual "Swine Queen" LOLOL

10:25 am

welki

gotta love 4H :)

10:25 am

hokie carla

LOL, I wouldn't even think of 4H being in NJ

10:26 am

hokie carla

we had a Miss Burley pageant (a type of tobacco)

10:29 am

welki

i lived in sussex county, rural, mountains, national parks and some of the best fly fishing - the kids went to an elementary school that had one classroom for each grade

10:30 am

welki

my house was built in 1840, a beautiful center hall colonial

10:35 am

10:49 am

dan2bit

10:55 am

hokie carla

LOL, eventually I guess I'll have to stop. but they are at the hairline and I can't seem to get them covered when I color my hair myself.

10:55 am

hokie carla

oh, thx for the za6

10:57 am

hokie carla

11 left, these 6 and 7's are brutal today

10:58 am

periwinkle

my hair is white at the temples and gray throughout the rest of my hair. but not totally gray yet

10:59 am

periwinkle

I used to get it colored professionally but it is expensive

10:59 am

hokie carla

same

10:59 am

periwinkle

apparently there are three ti7 and I do not have any

10:59 am

rururocks

I don't color my hair

11:00 am

periwinkle

good to know ruru

11:00 am

hokie carla

the problem is I go blond so I'm afraid to do it too many levels lighter, so I go every so often to get it professionally done and then just maintain that on my own with box color

11:01 am

hokie carla

have done pinterest research on how to do it myself with better products from Sally's but haven't tried that

11:01 am

hokie carla

what's the worst that can happen? haha

11:03 am

periwinkle

I have use Revlon colorsilk for years but just tried one of the L'Oreal products. will see how it looks after it has dried

11:03 am

periwinkle

bbl

11:03 am

hokie carla

I usually use l'oreal

11:03 am

hokie carla

they had a rose blond that I was using but I don't think they make it anymore so I bought 2 the last time I saw it. :D

11:08 am

MollyL

I don't mess with coloring my hair myself. I leave that to the professionals. Plus, there is no way I could do the back, my hair is too long.

11:10 am

clg47

clue on gi6 please

11:11 am

clg47

never minds found it

11:21 am

MollyL

Hurshy would have told you it sounds like a little cat

11:21 am

rururocks

gimeow

11:22 am

rururocks

damn it

11:24 am

MollyL

Rilla would say "Well done, Ruru"

11:27 am

Lewandjoy

Ice agent

11:29 am

rururocks

ice agent?

11:33 am

rururocks

oh .. i get it

11:38 am

hokie carla

well, thx. that's one of the ones I couldn't find

11:47 am

cybernan

hi again -- not getting the clues for either the gi 6 or the za 8

11:48 am

rururocks

za6 is yiddish

11:48 am

hokie carla

what's a baby cat called? gi6 rhymes

11:48 am

cybernan

that does not help me at all

11:49 am

hokie carla

za8 is a mineral with the ending that sounds like not loose

11:49 am

hokie carla

do you want za6 or za8?

11:49 am

rururocks

za i a nickel compounded mineral

11:49 am

cybernan

and uses the 3 high pt tiles?

11:50 am

cybernan

don't see how that is possible

11:50 am

hokie carla

za6 does, not za8

11:50 am

hokie carla

still not clear which you're looking for since you said 8 but ru is cluing 6

11:51 am

cybernan

oh - ty - was trying to find a za 8 that uses the z f and g

11:51 am

rururocks

i tried to clue that 8 also but quite poorly

11:52 am

dan2bit

za8 - za + rodent + end of what teeth do

11:52 am

cybernan

now I need to look for a 6 that uses those letters

11:52 am

cybernan

found the 8, ty

11:53 am

rururocks

a well rounded woman is za 6 :D

11:53 am

cybernan

not zarfag

11:53 am

hokie carla

someone said german and that helped me

11:53 am

hokie carla

I have actually seen the word before which is more than I can say for half of these 7's

11:53 am

rururocks

look up plump in yiddish nan

11:54 am

rururocks

i only have two 7's so far no wonder then

11:54 am

bichon

It has two meanings, one in German [juicy] anf in Yiddish well built

11:54 am

hokie carla

I have just looked up probably 5 and never seen them

11:54 am

cybernan

have 8 of the 7's and all are common so far -- and that's a fact mam

11:55 am

cybernan

is the za 6 the yiddish word or the gi 6?

11:55 am

rururocks

za is the yiddish word

11:56 am

rururocks

it's yiddish slang

11:56 am

hokie carla

gi6 says it's hebrew. reminds me of Larry the Cable Guy gi6 it done!

11:56 am

cybernan

ooh - everyone is too young to get my dr 7 clue

11:56 am

hokie carla

I didn't see it but I already had both dr7, those were easy

11:57 am

rururocks

i'm sure Nan is an avid fan of larry the cable guy homie :D

11:57 am

hokie carla

yep, I was pretty sure she would get that clue immediately :D

11:58 am

hokie carla

I am down to 2 T's, a 6 and a 7

11:58 am

cybernan

nope - but i did watch dr 7

11:58 am

hokie carla

I did not, but have obviously heard of it

11:58 am

rururocks

Jack something wasn't it ? Dr 7

11:58 am

hokie carla

oh, just the facts ma'am. now I remember you saying that.

11:59 am

hokie carla

Joe Friday?

11:59 am

rururocks

Jack Friday?

11:59 am

cybernan

Jack Webb

11:59 am

rururocks

the partner went on to be in Mash

11:59 am

hokie carla

oh, col. potter?

11:59 am

cybernan

the role was Sgt. Friday -- Peter MOrgan from MASH was his sidekick

12:00 pm

hokie carla

I did watch mash some even though I was a little young

12:01 pm

rururocks

i have 4 sevens now.. one normal one a rare one

12:01 pm

hokie carla

well, just looked up to6, that's a new one on me too. british

12:02 pm

hokie carla

there is another dr7 relating to war

12:02 pm

hokie carla

and finally got my last word without looking it up - ti7 that relates to that to6

12:03 pm

hokie carla

all in all, not my favorite grid

12:03 pm

rururocks

ah.. thanks hokie.. missed that one

12:04 pm

hokie carla

de nada

12:04 pm

hokie carla

for some reason I am watching tractor pull on tv

12:04 pm

hokie carla

I need to do something with my life

12:05 pm

rururocks

i hardly ever watch tv anymore

12:06 pm

hokie carla

we were watching day 1 of tour de france and this came on after

12:06 pm

rururocks

that's kind of like re-cycling isn't it?

12:06 pm

MollyL

If you are watching tractor pull you DEFINITELY need to do something with your life.

12:07 pm

MollyL

*Thinks Carla probably watches Ice Road Truckers and the hoarding show too.

12:09 pm

hokie carla

I can't deal with the hoarding show.

12:09 pm

hokie carla

I used to watch IRT years ago

12:10 pm

hokie carla

I'm not really watching this, just background noise

12:10 pm

hokie carla

when you grow up a latchkey kid and watch a lot of TV, it is comforting to have it on all the time :D

12:10 pm

MollyL

The hoarding show sounds disturbing as hell. I don't know why anyone watches it.

12:22 pm

MollyL

Oh dear God. There is a web site and they call habitual pimple poppers, popaholics. This is all stuff I did not need to know. Time to do a home lobotomy.

12:24 pm

hokie carla

12:25 pm

hokie carla

I think I only made it to 38 or 39, ru.

12:27 pm

hokie carla

and then I had to look up several, so I think you've done well.

12:33 pm

MollyL

I give up on these grids when the words are that weird. It becomes something not fun to do anymore.

12:38 pm

swmbo

You want to be really grossed out? The show is called Botched. Unbelievable what people will get done to their bodies

hi swm

12:47 pm

swmbo

Hello TO! :)

12:48 pm

72 Temple Owl

how are things up in your area? I am looking to travel, and it's so beautiful there.

12:49 pm

swmbo

Yes, it has been a nice summer, Warmer and dryer than usual. We are supposed to be getting the death throes of Laura any time, lots of rain and some wind. But it will pass quickly. Where are you in the US?

12:50 pm

72 Temple Owl

mid atlantic. ditto for laura, but so far today nothing. and workmen canclled for today.

12:50 pm

swmbo

Oh, I see PA, not too far from here :)

12:51 pm

72 Temple Owl

nope. but my travel companion does not have a current passpot, so i;m on my own for anything outisde US

12:52 pm

swmbo

Trying hard to go with the flow of the pandemic and succeeding pretty well I think. I am lucky to live in a semi rural area that has been untouched (so far)

12:52 pm

72 Temple Owl

my friend just came back from san diego. there were about 30 people on the plane. so if youare brave, or foolhardy, depedning on your point of view, a good time.

12:54 pm

swmbo

My son and his family flew from Calgary to Halifax in early July. Direct flight, then drove to PEI for a 14 day quarantine. They returned August 17. Not sure if I'd do it, but I am higher risk than them by vritue of may advanced age LOL. They said the planes either way were not too full.

12:57 pm

72 Temple Owl

are all of the festivals up there cancelled?

12:58 pm

cybernan

hi - back again after a quick trip to the pharmacy

12:58 pm

swmbo

yes, pretty well :(

12:59 pm

swmbo

Tourism is hit hard this year.

1:00 pm

swmbo

there is Nan from the other coast LOL

1:00 pm

cybernan

I've been wondering what has been happening in that regard, swmbo -- we so enjoyed the ceildih's we went to when we were in the maritimes.

1:02 pm

swmbo

Nothing is live. There have been a few virtual kitchen parties but even not many of them. No yearly town festivals or carnivals.

1:02 pm

cybernan

yes - tourism is slower this year, but the Albertans are still coming -- just wish they would leave their partying at home -- we've had 3 outbreaks caused by holiday makers so far

1:02 pm

swmbo

How about in your area?

1:03 pm

swmbo

Yes I read about that. MY Albertans were careful and followed all protocols. It was great to see them.

1:04 pm

cybernan

oh well - a few more days and it will just be the seniors that are travellign

1:04 pm

cybernan

*travelling

1:05 pm

cybernan

everyone will be following protocols now or face a $200 to $2000 fine, depending on the infraction

1:05 pm

swmbo

Exactly. The big worry here right now is the opening of schools and universities. Honestly I worry more about the universities. People in the age where taking risks is the norm.

1:06 pm

swmbo

We had a uni student fined $1,00 for not following protocol so far. Most of the foreign students have already arrived. We'll see.

1:07 pm

swmbo

$1,000

1:07 pm

cybernan

don't know what UofA or UofC is doing, but UofL is continuing with online courses wherever possible. Our daughter is one of the ones teaching online.

1:07 pm

72 Temple Owl

i thought we could enter by land with other than a passport/ pass card. seems no longer.

1:08 pm

cybernan

TO - our border with the USA is closed other than for essential traffic for the forseeable future -- certainly until the USA gets things under control.

1:08 pm

swmbo

No TO, no entry even with a passport. The border has been closed for quite a while not, months. The students have been allowed but under very strict guidelines, practically being monitored all the time

1:09 pm

cybernan

foreign students here are being kept in a separate dorm under quarantine for 2 weeks

1:10 pm

swmbo

God help us all

1:11 pm

swmbo

Yes, same here Nan. Testing, daily monitoring of temp and symptoms etc.

1:11 pm

swmbo

Not sure how the student who was fined stepped out of line, but I'm glad it was addressed.

1:12 pm

swmbo

Well, Its been lovely chatting, but it is 3:12 PM here and I haven't had lunch yes and my stomach is complaining. TTFN
