7:09 am

MollyL

I'm always up for something different. I get stuck in a dinner routine sometimes.

I try to stay away from chicken dishes right before Thanksgiving to avoid poultry overload.

7:15 am

8:10 am

BzznBea

How many more will they come up with?

8:13 am

rururocks

I'm not sure Welki.. from 9/11 to the nutjob today is a scary transition

8:15 am

rururocks

the leaking hair dye thing really cracked me up

8:15 am

welki

exactly - i liked him as a mayor, and the way he conducted himself after 9/11.

8:15 am

rururocks

I'm not afraid to have grey in my hair

8:16 am

welki

ditto

8:16 am

rururocks

he was perfect as the mayor after that disaster. I liked him then too, but he's totally nuts.. did you see his press conference?

8:17 am

welki

yes i did - he was like a crackhead, rambling, nonsensical, looked compromised in more ways than one

8:17 am

dan2bit

these guys get people around them who do nothing but ego-stroking, eventually they've done too much sniffing their own farts and it rots their brains

8:18 am

Uneaixoise

Beyond the pale

8:18 am

rururocks

yeah.. and you being an attorney could read through it better than I could

8:18 am

welki

i wonder if those radioactive seeds they implanted in him for his cancer have affected his mind (or if that's even possible)

8:19 am

rururocks

well Dan when you have your head so far up your own ass that's the result :D

8:19 am

welki

(if you're referring to me as an attorney, i am not and have never been. i was a prosecuting paralegal)

8:19 am

rururocks

oh.. i thought you were an attorney

8:20 am

welki

here, you can be a prosecutor in the lower courts without being an attoryney

8:20 am

rururocks

oh

8:21 am

welki

it was a great career, loved almost every minute of it

8:21 am

rururocks

my brother was trying to be an attorney, but found that drinking cocktails and chasing woman was better than studying for the bar exam

welki

BzznBea

It's the common crazies that worry me most.

8:33 am

rururocks

Pumpkin bread in the oven. It's starting to smell like Thanksgiving here.

9:08 am

BzznBea

I was thinking about making pumpkin bread.

9:08 am

hokie carla

I made some while we were camping a couple of weeks ago.

9:09 am

Scrabbler

I love pumpkin bread, muffins, cookies, etc

9:10 am

BzznBea

I got some pumpkiin snickerdoodles at Aldis that were so good.

9:10 am

rururocks

i'm not a pumpkin pie guy, but the bread sounds great without nuts

9:10 am

hokie carla

9:10 am

hokie carla

I def. don't put nuts in it.

9:10 am

BzznBea

Probably not, Carla

9:11 am

BzznBea

I don't put nuts in my pumpkin bread either.

9:11 am

hokie carla

and I had some leftover almond buttercream that I slathered on some pieces.

9:12 am

hokie carla

mr. homie was all like "I don't like pumpkin bread" so I said, just try it. he did and of course he liked it.

9:13 am

BzznBea

I bought a couple cupcakes at the Farmer's Market yesterday that were made up to look like roasted turkeys.

9:13 am

hokie carla

cute

9:16 am

rururocks

oh.. found the 9

9:16 am

MollyL

Yes making it this early. It has to sit around for a few days so the flavors do their thing. And I mail one loaf to my son and his wife.

9:17 am

rururocks

they live that far away?

9:17 am

BzznBea

I agree, Molly. One small loaf hot out of the oven, the rest sits to get yummier.

9:17 am

MollyL

I do a lot of advanced prep for Thanksgiving. The green bean casserole went in the freezer yesterday. No they don't live far away, but it's become a tradition that I mail it.

9:18 am

hokie carla

I'm still on the top row here. quite a struggle.

9:18 am

BzznBea

I only have the T left in that top row.

9:18 am

MollyL

And yes, I am going out for Thanksgiving this year, but I'm still sending the older two home with the traditional leftovers.

9:19 am

BzznBea

But Carla, there are no A's today.

9:19 am

hokie carla

oh, that's good

9:21 am

hokie carla

torsion was a phantom for me yesterday and I just tried it today.

9:24 am

Scrabbler

That gave me 2 words, carla.

9:24 am

hokie carla

I did do the K out of order and finished it so I've got that going for me.

9:25 am

hokie carla

hmm, glad I could help. did not give me 2 words :D

9:25 am

Scrabbler

our schools are ok so far -- it is people holding house parties now that everything else has been closed down --- we have a 2 week order now -- no one in your home other than those that live there. Someone in a neighbouring community was fined $2000 last week for hosting a card party of 9 in his home but still people don't pay attention.

12:16 pm

Deeha

we've had similar. A guy held a christening with over 100 guests, caterers a band when we were down to families i a household bubble only.He was fined Â£3000. Pure me me me

I live around a lot of Mexican immigrants and many of them just don't seem to take it seriously.

A young woman with a Scandinavian accent who delivered my groceries yesterday was complaining that people were "overreacting" to the situation. Geesh.

12:25 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Many people are not taking it seriously. But the dead can't speak. A lot of them didn't take it seriously either.

12:26 pm

How you politicize a pandemic...did that happen in 1918 too?

12:26 pm

I mean how do you politicize.

I don't get that Kap. Makes no sense to me.

12:27 pm

I have to laugh. this summer we have had so mny illegal immigrants caught coming across the Channel in rowboats and inflatables. We have the highest deathrate in Europe. It ought to be use going the other way!!

12:28 pm

welki

it's maddening. i just read an article about a bar in southern florida - hundreds of young people partying without masks. i feel like i should cue up, 'i'm gonna miss you when you're gone'

12:29 pm

My grandmother had 7 sons and son in laws that fought in WW1 and all survived only foe some of them to die in the flu epidemic

12:29 pm

origami

That's why young people are going to be vaccinated here before people my age (64). They are spreaders.

12:29 pm

Kaplan the Magne

"Illegal immigrants" are not doing it for the fun of it. Unfortunately, the US no longer believes in amnesty. Maybe I'll be in the next inflatable to Finland- but what's up with Sweden?

12:29 pm

welki

fact is, though, most of them will be okay - but how many will bring the virus home to their families, and to work to their colleagues, and to school to their classmates and teachers? ugh.

12:30 pm

I realise its not for the fun of it I just think we should escape by going the other way!!

I had pneumonia and presumptive covid in March- tested negative though, but the doctors said I obviously had it...after the hospital I was in bed for the month. If I had covid I caught it at a conference that I went to in Times Square in early March. I KNEW I didn't want to go

12:31 pm

Deeha

Over here us oldies 'most vulnerable' will get vaccinated first. I'm 80 I'll be first in the queue!!

Those over 64 will be in the 2nd tier here (after first responders/medical workers). I have to wait until the 4th tier.

I am turning 65 next week, and am at risk because of the pneumonia, so maybe I'll be on the list---bust Boston has a lot of hospitals and front line people.

12:35 pm

Kaplan the Magne

My husband is doing a clinical trial. He has to monitor the effects of a vaccine, or placebo, for two weeks. He thinks he got the real shot because he didn't feel well the next day. And he had a cold, so these people came to the house in HAZMAT suits to check on him.

12:37 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I understand people have isolation fatigue but they have no right to put others at risk. People around here are good about masks though. Because we're Democrats?

12:41 pm

origami

And not stupid?

12:41 pm

Deeha

I work in a charity shop-now closed as 'non-essentil' but people would come in without a mask and say 'I'm exempt, I've got asthma' but tht is easy to say. They ere supposed to get a card from their doctors to prove it.

The governors of CA past and present did a great public service announcement about wearing a mask a few months ago. I wish everyone would watch it and listen to them (both Democrats and Republicans).

Ive done it again!! I'm going to stop chatting!!

12:43 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I have a touch of asthma and some residual coughing but I can wear a mask. I am on ZOOM all day and so sick of seeing myself (I have to keep the image on screen to make sure I'm positioned right.) I have imagined all the places I would need botox.

12:43 pm

Or stop gridding.

me t 7 letters words!oo.Just about to give up and I saw two more

12:48 pm

clg47

do you know the meaning of the ts7,28?

12:49 pm

Kaplan the Magne

might me the Yiddish- let me look for the word

12:49 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Yep- Yiddish for Troubles and Aggravation

12:50 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I just have the 6 though

12:51 pm

clg47

add an o in the middle - both words have no meaning

12:51 pm

Kaplan the Magne

It might be a relative- does the 7 start like the 6?

12:51 pm

Kaplan the Magne

they do, but in Yiddish.

12:52 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Yep, both included. cig, they do have meaning, but incorporated into English like Yenta.

12:53 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I suppose Enable is compensating for allowing racial slurs?

12:53 pm

clg47

I checked another alternative spelling. Most common usage replaces o's with u

12:53 pm

clg47

so the meaning gave me great ts.

12:54 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Some Yiddish words are in Enable, as are some French words (there is one for a kind of Film) and sometimes there is Spanish. And Welsh.

12:54 pm

Kaplan the Magne

exactly cig.

12:54 pm

cybernan

have the ts 6, but don't see the 7 either

12:55 pm

Kaplan the Magne

There are different Yiddish pronunciations depending on where in Germany, Russia or Poland the speaker came from

12:55 pm

penquis

double vowel in the middle...

12:55 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Double vowel. Oops.

12:56 pm

Kaplan the Magne

The Modern Hebrew word ends in a t, because they pronounce the letter differently.

12:56 pm

8201girl

Kaplan, people like you are the reason I get rid of Chatterbox.

12:56 pm

Kaplan the Magne

but that's not in the grid or Enable.

Kap....i meant to ignore the girl.....

12:58 pm

It is very related to German and Hebrew. A mishmash, which s also a Yiddish word.

12:58 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Penquis, is she a troll?

12:59 pm

mattygroves

I grew up in NY, so had a smattering of NY Yiddish (i.e. words that are in common parlance in NY). When I started learning German in school, I was highly amused to discover that Schmuck means jewellry in German.

12:59 pm

Kaplan the Magne

There are people who trigger me, but I don't attack them. Sometimes I am talkative, sometimes not

12:59 pm

clg47

Any words I learned while working came from the Sephardic background. So Spanish, Greek mixed with Hebrew.

12:59 pm

Trifioso

hello friends. Could I have a nudge for the lone o, please? Just canNOT see it

12:59 pm

schmuck means the same thing as putz

wow -- didn't know mishmash was yiddish -- have heard it all my life and I had never met a Jewish person until we moved to Montreal when I was in my late 20's

1:00 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Ladino. I have strong Sephardic roots.

1:00 pm

1:01 pm

Trifioso

i suspect you are just being kind, but thank you

1:02 pm

Kaplan the Magne

That's why you weren't aware of "sewing down" as a slur---I had to realize it was lack of familiarity. I have a friend from OK who had never met a Jewish person before me either.

1:02 pm

penquis

nope....it's true....it's kind of squirrelly... ;o)

1:03 pm

I think the thing to do is to build relationships. Sometimes people don't know what words mean to others.

1:04 pm

Kaplan the Magne

cybernan are you familiar with Miramichi?

1:04 pm

cybernan

no - isn't it a region somewhere in PQ?

1:05 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Yeah, it looks like fairyland from the photos. I know someone there. It's in the PEI cluster. Almost no covid.

1:06 pm

cybernan

so it's on PEI then?

1:07 pm

Kaplan the Magne

No, but near I think

1:08 pm

Kaplan the Magne

The climate is apparently the same as Boston, but it's much prettier.

1:08 pm

clg47

ok I was in Spain and was asked a question. I thought the woman was asking me if I wanted a man. I declined and found a different place to stay the next day. Years later at work the oldest person with the spanish/greek background asked me if I had hunger. Boy those word are close. I wish I could I am so sorry to the darling little spanish lady that rented me a room.

1:08 pm

cybernan

Just looked it up -- it's in NB -- just across the bay from PEI

1:09 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Oh. I am teaching myself Spanish and am at a more advanced level than I had been. I use several apps and drill myself on different vocabulary words every night. Estoy agobiada.

1:09 pm

cybernan

but yes -- the maritime provinces have been limiting travel since March and have considerably fewer cases as a result. One must also keep in mind that the population is much smaller also. For example the population of PEI is about the same as the town I live in (150,000)

1:10 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I don't think I cam use my Spanish in Canada. Hambriento is hungry. Hombre is man. Hombro is shoulder.

I am waiting to travel to Canada. I want to visit friends in Nova Scotia.

NS is a beautiful province -- we visited for the first time in fall of 1919 -- loved it in spite of the hurricane :)

1:11 pm

hopefully once vaccines are widely distributed, our borders will be open again. That is assuming, of course, that 75% of the population is vaccinated.

Trump is very much to blame for the current pandemic situation, but so are the people who won't wear masks, who are going home or getting together with others this week because it is Thanksgiving -- all are contrubting to the spread. And we are too, tor not telling these people to their face s to get with the program .

1:47 pm

oh well, finished with the help of the list and a wordfinder. you all enjoy your doom and gloom fest.

i'm staying home alone nan.. we're spiking here in California..

1:49 pm

so are we, ru -- not as badly as the states or even other provinces but the numbers are going up. We celebrated our thanksgiving with our family on zoom -- everyone in their own homes.

1:49 pm

rururocks

my neighbors however are continuing to have lots of people over and backyard parties.

1:49 pm

it's all the people he gets fired up that are doing all the spreading

1:50 pm

somewhat true suzee.. a lot of them do what he says to do

Rev.Green?

1:57 pm

cybernan

It's easy to feel gloomy when the skies are grey and you haven't visited face to face with any of your friends for a month and the highlights of your week are facetime with the kids. If it makes you feel better about yourself, just think of those who have no home, no food, no heat and nowhere to go.

Thing is, people don't need to be all alone. There are distanced ways to get together. Ru and Origami had one recently.

2:19 pm

MollyL

And families can get together for the holidays. Just in a responsible way.

2:20 pm

cybernan

molly - we are locked down by provincial order. No visiting even with distancing unless it is outdoors - and then only in passing. Also it is only about 37F out right now.

2:21 pm

clg47

Yes cybernan. I have a roof, a garden, heat and medical. Of course you also have medical thanks to Tommy Douglas. I walk with friends. 3 friends have had their husbands die recently so once in a while we chat about the tidal ebb & flows of emotions. I had friends over after the election and we sat out side bundled up and drank champagne.

2:21 pm

MollyL

Really Nan? From what you have said, I thought Canda was doing stellar with COVID and it was only the evil US that still had bad numbers.

2:23 pm

cybernan

we are molly - and that is the reason why -- our governments have kept control. But after the curve flattened during the summer months, things started to open up and now the numbers are rising, so we have another shut down.

2:24 pm

clg47

MollyL you need some news options. New Zealand and Australia are doing stellar. Africa is doing better than the US. Cybernan are you in balmy BC at 37F?

2:25 pm

cybernan

we have a mild micro-climate here, but it is still chilly. The surrounding mounaings are covered in snow, so when the wind blows, it gets cold.

2:26 pm

MollyL

News options? I was going on what Nan has said here, not the news.

2:27 pm

clg47

I live on an island in the Puget Sound area. I see the snow in the mountains and the wind can blow. It's great.

2:31 pm

cybernan

there is bad and there is terrible, molly. Our province has a population of about 5 million. During the summer we were averaging about 30 new cases per day, over the last month that has risen to 500 new cases perday so the provincial health authority decided it was time to knock that down again.

2:34 pm

rururocks

maybe you guys should try golfing nan.. it seems to be working for Trump :D

2:34 pm

cybernan

In the southern interior, where I live, we were getting now new cases in the summer with no one hospitalized, now we have around 25 new cases daily and there are 34 people in hospital -- those stats cover a population of 750,000

2:34 pm

cybernan

*no new cases during the summer

2:38 pm

Hey, has anyone in the US decided to follow the suggestion of having Thanksgiving in July (or some other time when there is maybe a bit more to celebrate, e.g. a vaccine)?

5:37 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

some kind of party when this pandemic is over -- yes -- probably not going to call it thanksgiving though

5:38 pm

Gillie

I think the idea was to avoid having a big celebration now that could make things worse.

5:39 pm

Gillie

I know many people can't imagine skipping Thanksgiving, but maybe postponing is a bit more palatable.

5:40 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

getting close to other people and eating with them is about the best way to spread this bug

5:40 pm

Gillie

Yes, unfortunately

5:42 pm

further, we still don't have a good, accurate test for this bug

We've already had our Thanksgiving, but things are now getting steadily worse in Alberta, and the provincial government is obviously reluctant to try another big lock-down, even though we're getting close to filling the space that was allocated for COVID in the hospitals.
