BzznBea

Good morning, Molly.

7:08 am

mattygroves

Those Ns have been taken care of, thanks

7:08 am

MollyL

I thought those were sewing words. I guess Bea is just blurting

7:09 am

MollyL

Oh, Matty asked for them. *Slams some more coffee

7:10 am

mattygroves

:D

7:14 am

BzznBea

Too many vowels...

7:25 am

MollyL

I think I have watched Prince of Tides one too many times. I actually tried Wingo.

8:35 am

BzznBea

Quiet in here today.

8:38 am

rururocks

the movie prince of tides? I didn't know you were a streisand fan molly

8:39 am

BzznBea

Hey, ru. Haven't seen you in a while.

8:39 am

rururocks

yeah.. i think you leave just before i get up bea

8:40 am

rururocks

i'm up a bit earlier today

8:49 am

rururocks

8:49 am

BzznBea

Good. Busy. And you?

8:50 am

rururocks

fine here but i've not been all that busy

8:53 am

hokie carla

Hey, all. My dad died last night. Supposed to move the oldest into a townhouse at college tomorrow. Trying to figure out what to do. My brother said Mom still hadn't talked to the funeral home.

8:54 am

BzznBea

Oh, honey...I'm so sorry.

8:54 am

rururocks

that's bad news hokie.. i'm sorry

8:54 am

MollyL

I'm not a big Streisand fan, but that is a great movie.

8:54 am

bojazz

so sorry...

8:54 am

hokie carla

Thanks, I'm very thankful he is not suffering anymore.

8:55 am

MollyL

Carla, I'm very sorry about your Dad.

8:55 am

car.eeyore

Sending you prayers and peace at this time, Carla

8:55 am

car.eeyore

I'm so sorry for your loss

8:55 am

hokie carla

Glad I visited last weekend

8:56 am

penquis

sorry about your dad, Carla....

9:03 am

rururocks

I'm sure the schedule will sort itself out hokie.. i think your kid can wait if there is a quick service

9:03 am

MollyL

I'm sorry you have to deal with a funeral in this "time of COVID".

9:03 am

car.eeyore

Carla, does your kid still want to go this weekend or wait until after services? Is the school far away?

9:04 am

car.eeyore

We are still experiencing wait times here for services/wakes especially with cremations.

9:04 am

Uneaixoise

So sorry about your dad, Carla :-(

9:05 am

car.eeyore

Was your dad ill? I'm glad you visited as well. When my dad passed suddenly last November, I had talked to him on the phone about 10 days prior, but knew that the last thing I said to him was how much I loved him. I am glad you were able to visit with him.

9:06 am

hokie carla

yeah, horrible time for a funeral. at least mom agrees with me & the oldest brother about doing private graveside only due to covid.

9:07 am

car.eeyore

That's all we are allowed here. It's been so difficult working at a church with older parishioners. So many have passed but the church as a whole is not able to celebrate their life together with the family.

9:07 am

hokie carla

car, I did not know about your dad. sorry to hear that. my dad was 80 and had parkinson's, which is just horrible.

9:08 am

car.eeyore

I'm sorry to hear that Carla. That is a horrible disease.

9:08 am

car.eeyore

Yeah, 2019 totally sucked with mom passing in April and then dad in November. Didn't think it could get much worse, but then 2020 rolled in....ugh.

9:09 am

hokie carla

yeah, my middle brother wants the church to do a bereavement meal like they usually do for the family, but the rest of us are like, you're crazy. plus all the ladies that do that are old.

9:09 am

car.eeyore

Is your church even allowing that right now? We cannot.

9:10 am

hokie carla

they had one a month or so ago but didn't really have any cases in the area then. now they have cases.

9:11 am

car.eeyore

You should check with the diocese/district/council for your state. It may help guide in the planning if there are now restrictions set.

9:11 am

car.eeyore

If I can help in anyway, please just let me know.

9:11 am

hokie carla

they also have a new preacher (the methodists like to move them around) and I don't know what his stance is.

9:11 am

hokie carla

thanks

9:12 am

car.eeyore

Oooh! I'm also a methodist, but work for an episcopal church.

9:13 am

hokie carla

My oldest brother is diabetic and terrified of covid and my other brother seems to think there isn't a pandemic. but he and his family have always been that way, when my kids were little we called my brother's family typhoid marys.

9:13 am

car.eeyore

Oh dear! Well knowing if there are restrictions may help with that.

9:15 am

rururocks

your older brother must avoid the news.. there are plenty of stories of people who didn't think there was a pandemic who got covid and died

9:15 am

hokie carla

they are in VA which has a mask mandate, but they are on the border of TN, which is like mask? social distance?

9:15 am

rururocks

other brother i mean

9:16 am

hokie carla

I know

9:16 am

rururocks

take herman cain for example

9:17 am

hokie carla

I was just thinking "this is my brother Darrell, this is my other brother Darrell." :D

9:20 am

hokie carla

well, I guess I will shower and try to get this house in order. thanks again for the kind words, everyone.

9:20 am

car.eeyore

Hang in there. Reach out if you need anything

9:20 am

rururocks

take care hokie.. hope it goes well

9:20 am

penquis

hi all! just checking my new icon pic.

11:56 am

hurshy

the news from australia traumatized me last night

11:58 am

bichon

news from Australia?

11:58 am

hurshy

it said there have been more encounters between people and certain poisonous creatures because people are home more and they see them in their gardens and stuff

11:59 am

bichon

hurshy, what happened in Australia?

11:59 am

hurshy

what i just said there

12:00 pm

12:07 pm

72 Temple Owl

hursh did you meet you navy man?

12:15 pm

72 Temple Owl

12:24 pm

Trifioso

Hello

12:52 pm

moolingwa

Much is made of the venomous animals in Australia, but the chances are still lower than killing/injuring yourself while taking a selfie

12:52 pm

moolingwa

or for that matter, getting out of the shower/bathtub :)

1:00 pm

MollyL

I think Hurshy needs to stop looking at the news.
: D Especially if it is giving her nightmares.

help withthe 8 or 9 please

2:23 pm

periwinkle

will go to the list soon

2:27 pm

The 8 sounds like a fruity wine with a double vowel ending. The 9 is not pointing your weapon correctly.

2:42 pm

pabtrek

3:02 pm

periwinkle

ty for the 9

3:03 pm

periwinkle

I think I know the wine you are referring to but not finding the sa8

Uneaixoise

Tx for mi9!

3:08 pm

periwinkle

the wine I am thinkng of has 7 letters

3:13 pm

Trifioso

hmmmm.

3:13 pm

Trifioso

i am torn between two wines, and not seeing either one

3:13 pm

Uneaixoise

Sauterne? Sauvignon?

3:14 pm

Vicuna

No, it's when you add fruit and stuff to wine. Exchange the vowels at the end, and add another in to get there from here.

3:14 pm

Trifioso

ha! got it - think of the wine name that sounds like a word for bloody

3:15 pm

Uneaixoise

Oohhhh

3:16 pm

Uneaixoise

Hmmmm thought it was sangria.....

3:16 pm

Vicuna

Yes...

3:17 pm

Uneaixoise

Not in grid....

3:18 pm

Vicuna

Correct. Hence Exchange the vowels at the end, and add another in to get there from here.

3:21 pm

Vicuna

It ends like an old-fashioned word for jeans (except singular).

3:23 pm

periwinkle

finally got it ty

3:25 pm

Uneaixoise

Don't get it....will look at it later

3:58 pm

MollyL

Loosely cluing the 8. Combine the first part of the wine with the last part of a boy scout festival that starts with jam
