Dare I say it...I have too many to make! I need to get 500 out by next Saturday and I am feeling the pressure.
7:54 am
car.eeyore
the numbers here are staggering, but they do include the Thanksgiving testing, so I have to remember that.
7:54 am
Scrabbler
Does anyone help you with cookies?
7:54 am
MollyL
Wow, the cookie business is booming. Good for you.
7:54 am
car.eeyore
Is mom ok?
7:55 am
Scrabbler
Mom is doing well. I see her weekly and fear sharing CoV with her. I am being careful.
7:56 am
car.eeyore
I hooked up with a friend from high school who has always owned bakeries, restaurants, etc. She developed an online mercantile with a small storefront for pickups. She hates making cookies, so that is now my job. I love that she keeps me busy and the steady $, but I am a one-woman show!
7:56 am
Scrabbler
Well, this is a big season, so stay busy and earn $.
7:56 am
car.eeyore
I am sure you are Scrabs
7:59 am
car.eeyore
I'm too busy. Don't have time for anything else...except a few hours at the church office and some Babble here and there.
8:00 am
car.eeyore
Its probably a good thing, though. I'm really feeling the loss of both of my parents this year, as I was so busy with church seasons when each died. I think my depression would get the better of me if I didn't have so much to do.
8:01 am
Scrabbler
Yes, stay busy, socialize, be productive, and talk to your parents.
8:02 am
Scrabbler
I just sent you a message, Eeyore.
8:03 am
car.eeyore
As most health care professionals and first responders know, the amount of loss we are experiencing is hard. Almost every week we have someone passing at the church. Last week was a good friend of mine, so that is not helpful.
8:03 am
car.eeyore
Thank you
8:03 am
car.eeyore
I don't want to go to any more funeral homes

another rainy, dark day here PLUS, our Christmas gatherings have been cancelled for this year ☻☻
9:50 am

same here....expecting snow tomorrow....
9:51 am
MollyL
Wait, all Christmas gatherings, or those over a certain amount of people.
9:51 am

the snow we had has all melted away...because of the unending rain - it could have been worse i suppose...

Covid is the new grinch
9:52 am
montreal13
1 person can visit 1 other person for the 4 days (between the 24th and the 27th)
9:52 am
cybernan
I think Christmas gatherings and travel have been cancelled for most of us --- at least those of us who would like to see the end of this terrible loss of life and illnesses --- there will always be those who are too self-centred to care.
9:53 am
penquis
i certainly am not travelling or visiting anyone.....didn't for Thanksgiving either....
9:53 am
MollyL
2020 the year of seclusion
9:54 am

we are being asked to stay home other than for essential errands and not to travel at all.
9:54 am
rururocks
at least I can make myself laugh
9:54 am
montreal13
we were told a couple of weeks ago that it MIGHT BE POSSIBLE to have gatherings of up to 10 people from 3 different adresses for those 4 days...but we knew better...
9:54 am
MollyL
And Nan, I wouldn't call it self centered to want to see a few family members at Christmas, in a safe way
9:54 am
penquis
yes...but I have reconnected with a few old friends via email and phone during this time....and that has been nice...
9:55 am
MollyL
How in the world are they going to enforce such a thing?
9:55 am
montreal13
no enforcing, just common sense Molly...
9:56 am
cybernan
I wouold, Molly --- the word is no one other than those that reside in the home. It is only going to increase the spread --- there is no way of knowing if any of those family members are ssymptomatic. Just wait till you see the fallout from Thanksgiving.
9:57 am
cybernan
there is no safe way to visit with friends and family because there is no way of knowing if they carry the virus or not.
9:58 am
penquis
i am stuck at 86 left....think i need a break....bbl to finish....bye all....
9:58 am

correct nan, no SAFE way to dine we others

or visit unless it is outdoors and 6 feet away
9:59 am
MollyL
Dear Everyone, Christmas has been cancelled. Bah humbug, COVID
10:00 am
MollyL
Well, if outdoors and six feet away is the only "safe" way then there are plenty of places people are not safe. In the grocery store, out walking, etc.
10:02 am
MollyL
And I guess masks are not keeping us safe unless we are outdoors and six feet away. Damn, we're doomed.
10:02 am
cybernan
some people are just idiots -- we have a oldtimers hockey team in our town who traveled to Alberta to play a tournament, came home with infected players and in 4 days we went from 40 some infections in the town to 84. They should be charged and fined with something.
10:04 am
MollyL
I thought y'all Canadians were not allowed to travel from province to province.
10:07 am
cybernan
, We have been asked not to, Molly, but the Alberta premier is a little like the republican governors -- he won't do or say anything.
10:08 am
rururocks
the Governor in South Dakota should be put in jail
10:09 am
cybernan
I know it was our guys who travel , but we also have our idiots that think their sports, activities and entertainment are more important than anything else.
10:10 am
rururocks
especially those curling guys.. they just flaunt the law :D
10:11 am
cybernan
Makes me wonder how they feel now that they are home and gave it to their families, friends and others who they've come into contact with, because they won't stay home in their bubble locally either.
10:11 am
cybernan
Not anymore Ru -- all adult sports have been cancelled.
10:12 am
cybernan
Thi kids can still do drills and practise skill sets, but under supervision and they have to remain distanced and wear a mask at all times
10:19 am
welki
nan, i'm no fan of jason kenney, but how can you hold him (and Alberta) responsible for a BC curling team traveling out of BC? couldn't the curlers have just made up their own minds and stayed home?
10:22 am
cybernan
not blaming him for our guys travelling against all common sense --- blaming him for the outrqageously high rate of infection in Alberta. Hospital tents for the covid patients be cause you have run out of beds -- really? -- in Alberta? --- in freezing temperatures? -- or does he think he's going to get a 3 week long chinook?
10:23 am
cybernan
and it was a hockey team - not curlers -- old timers who should have known better.

they're not camping tents, nan. my husband was involved in building the field hospital at peter lougheed hospital. it's a high tech, heated and state of the art facility
10:25 am
welki
and while i blame kenney for not having the backbone needed during these nutty times, you can't blame him for people being numbnuts. his fault was trusting that people would do the right thing - same as british columbia
10:25 am

never the less, welki - it shouldn't have been necessary. I am worried sick about my sone and his family and my daughter and hers living in Calgary and Lethbridge.
10:25 am
72 Temple Owl
hola
10:27 am
cybernan
yes there was trust that most people would do the right thing -- but we have mandates now and you do not --- we also have about a million more people and half the number of daily new infections.
10:27 am
welki
never the less? you just spouted a whole lot of untruth to this community. we're worried sick, too - but making up a bunch of stuff makes canadians, ALL canadians, sound like a bunch of uneducated, selfish and self-serving fools
10:28 am
welki
we don't have mandates? we are allowed no social gatherings, we have mask mandates, we are allowed outside activities to a maximum to 10 (distanced and masked) - so huh?
10:29 am
welki
restaurants have capacity and operating restrictions, all sports and entertainment venues are closed .... there's so much more, but i just don't people thinking alberta has done nothing
10:30 am
welki
so tell me, which mandates do you have that we do not?
10:30 am

Your Jewish friends would like to share that our most important holidays, Passover, Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur were all celebrated virtuality. There were unexpected beautiful moments. It felt all the more meaningful. That Ruth Bader Ginsburg died on the eve of the New Year was so significant. 20 years ago, barely any internet, no ZOOM. Tech has this time has given us a gift if we use it.
10:32 am

I've been isolated but my city still allows certain salons to follow guidelines- we are rather strict here. I am also getting eye surgery today. I expect to quarantine all of January. The hair dye required a bit of self justification, but there were only 3 people in a large ventilated space.
10:33 am
MollyL
Not all Jewish people. My Jewish neighbors had a houseful for Rosh Hashanah and it looks like they are getting ready for another houseful for Hanukkah
10:33 am
Kaplan the Magne
We all have areas that we rationalize, but super spreader events, and exemptions for religious gatherings is just a way of setting people up for the kill.
10:35 am
Kaplan the Magne
Well, they COULD find other means. It was quite a beautiful thing. Hanukkah is such a minor holiday that they could light candles in synchrony on AOom and make their own latkes. I hate latkes so am grateful I don't have to smell them.
10:36 am
Kaplan the Magne
Those of us that attended to guidelines would like to tell them it can be done. I don't know anyone in my community who behaved like your neighbors.
10:37 am
rururocks
my neighbors are having large gatherings too. it's a little crazy to me
10:37 am

10:38 am
Kaplan the Magne
On my birthday Thanksgiving, my daughters and I synchronized watching Damn Yankees from 3 different cities. We could chat with no one complaining about interrupting. It was so much fun. My point Molly is not that every one followed guidelines, but that we have been through our major holidays during a pandemic and followed CDC recommendations, and learned a lot from the solidarity.
10:40 am
Kaplan the Magne
I would imagine that people whose observance is mainly about food and family gatherings were more at a loss.
10:40 am
Kaplan the Magne
welki what do you mean?
10:42 am
Kaplan the Magne
People are doing superspereader traveling because in the middle of the country they are against government mandates about safety. This is about Harm Reduction. If people want to put their older relatives in the hospital, it's hard to argue with stupid.
10:42 am

Don't get angry welki - I fullly realize that noe of what is going on is your fault, nor mine, and there is absolutely nothing either of us can do about it. As to Alberta crap --- I don't think so --- go on the dashboard online and look at the stats. As mor mandates -- we have been manated to stay in our household bubbles (residents only) unil Dec. 7 and it is quite likely that that will be extended. Some of the scholls in highly affected areas are going back to virtual learning, and all adult sports have been cancelled, childrens's sports restricted. And everyday we are asked not to travel outside of our community.

Policy Rationale
We remove content that glorifies violence or celebrates the suffering or humiliation of others because it may create an environment that discourages participation. We allow graphic content (with some limitations) to help people raise awareness about issues. We know that people value the ability to discuss important issues like human rights abuses or acts of terrorism. We also know that people have different sensitivities with regard to graphic and violent content. For that reason, we add a warning label to especially graphic or violent content so that it is not available to people under the age of eighteen and so that people are aware of the graphic or violent nature before they click to see it.

I do drawings of animals, and they're paintings that represent How I might be feeling about something going on politically. The guidelines protect certain forms of porn and violence, but they also restrict artistic license. I know several artists who a=were suspended from FB.

2:52 pm
72 Temple Owl
with the advent of 5G, the lower ones will lose more and more function.
2:53 pm
hokie carla
yeah, luckily it was here in my house and not a public bathroom.
2:53 pm
moolingwa
they have to get 5G on every block
2:53 pm
72 Temple Owl
now THERE'S a dllemma...
2:53 pm
moolingwa
has a range of only a few hundred feet, so only limited coverage for some time to come
2:53 pm
72 Temple Owl
carla
2:54 pm
welki
ok, mkg - this is the best i can do. hy10 first. like a hy**dermic needle + almost all of the green citrus fruit + the first part of the vitamin, ***cin
2:54 pm
moolingwa
at as you can imagine, there's a wide variation in performance on 5G
2:54 pm
mkg
PERFECT CLUE. GOT IT.
2:54 pm
moolingwa
the different carriers have rolled it out in different ways to claim 5G
2:54 pm
mkg
ty welki! great clue.
2:55 pm
72 Temple Owl
188 words and just now seeing hy
2:55 pm
mkg
what is 5 G? 5 gigabites?
2:55 pm
welki
hy9 = same beginning + someone who has bipolar disorder may experience this condition
2:55 pm
hokie carla
isn't that similar to how verizon did LTE instead of 4G or am I misremembering?
2:55 pm
moolingwa
tx welk, would not have stumbled on that one
2:55 pm
hokie carla
yeah, no way would've gotten that, thx
2:55 pm
moolingwa
Yeah, pretty much, but with 5G there's an even bigger disparity
2:56 pm
mkg
anyone have the top row I word or the bottom row A word? ty
2:56 pm
wvteach
stats for bottom row A pls
2:56 pm
welki
not until you get the hy9 :D
2:56 pm
72 Temple Owl
so why can't we use that as a noun?
2:56 pm
moolingwa
verizon actually has the fastest 5G right now, but it's so limited where it will actually work
2:57 pm
moolingwa
top I...i4, i5 and i5 again
2:58 pm
hokie carla
bottom row a is ap5
2:58 pm
moolingwa
they say all roads lead to rome
2:58 pm
welki
5G is limited here and even the cheapest phone plans are insanely expensive
2:59 pm
hokie carla
if there was another p maybe
2:59 pm
72 Temple Owl
i don't think we pay more, it just comes. it's activated in this area.
2:59 pm
moolingwa
well yeah, perhaps all bees lead to rome too
2:59 pm
hokie carla
I haven't heard of anyone I know around here so I don't know about 5G here
3:00 pm
hokie carla
there you go..
3:02 pm
moolingwa
The ATT map says 5G in my area, but I'm skeptical...can barely get a signal outside my Wifi
3:02 pm
welki
at the lake, we have the crappiest internet, so we just bought a hub - and are ecstatic at getting LTE service at 25 mps up/down at $110/month for 1TB
3:02 pm
hokie carla
we have verizon which has dropped a lot in my house
3:03 pm
moolingwa
Our city limited the number and height of cell towers, so that may be a contributing factor
3:03 pm
hokie carla
finally found a 4!
3:03 pm
welki
we pay a lot for our internet, too. what a racket, with i'd thought of it first :)
3:03 pm
moolingwa
certainly not any geographical barriers
3:04 pm
moolingwa
yeah I get internet through my city here...fiber to the house for $50 a month, it's awesome

it's ridiculous. as is everything deregulated.
3:04 pm
welki
fiber is just starting to be installed in some communities here.
3:04 pm
72 Temple Owl
like cable
3:05 pm
moolingwa
haven't had cable for years
3:05 pm
welki
fiber starts here at 99/month for 2 years and then 160/month
3:05 pm
72 Temple Owl
well, fiber is fast but limited, as after a bad storm.
3:05 pm
moolingwa
how so TO? because your fiber is on poles?
3:05 pm
welki
hahaha - cable/satellite will run you $100/month for just above basic service
3:06 pm
72 Temple Owl
time to go clean the fridge. ugh.
3:06 pm
welki
i could cancel it all, save a bunch of money, but it might mean that i actually have to talk-to-people
3:06 pm
moolingwa
I have Prime, Netflix and Hulu that's more than enough
3:06 pm
72 Temple Owl
requires electricity to run ; limited batter backup for phone
3:06 pm
moolingwa
oh Disney/Hulu...they came as a package
3:07 pm
welki
always keep a mophi charged, owl
3:07 pm
moolingwa
Ah well all routers need power...i have a $150 UPS which will keep that thing running for hours
3:07 pm
moolingwa
not that I've experienced a power outage
3:07 pm
welki
where'd hokie go?
3:07 pm
72 Temple Owl
what do you all think of time warner's announcement re HBO MAX?
3:08 pm
72 Temple Owl
moo: never?!
3:08 pm
moolingwa
It's interesting, because there's been such a resistance to cut out the cinemas
3:08 pm
moolingwa
No power outages in Colorado
3:08 pm
moolingwa
had the in Miami, but also in Miami all the power is run on poles. Here in Colorado it's underground
3:09 pm
72 Temple Owl
during Sandy, only those with copper could communicate. the same copper verizon removed so they could charge little old ladies their exorbitant rates for a phone
3:09 pm
72 Temple Owl
so it ours. but the transformers cannot be
3:09 pm
moolingwa
If you're talking landlines that's different
3:09 pm
welki
must get going - have a good weekend, folks
3:09 pm
72 Temple Owl
that's where the trouble lies, in the stations
3:09 pm
hokie carla
we have AT&T Fiber - $70/mo. has been great for years but have had outages the past 2 nights and about 3 other times in the last month.
3:09 pm
moolingwa
that's because there's enough power on a phone cable from the switch to power your handset
3:10 pm
72 Temple Owl
bye welk.
3:10 pm
moolingwa
In terms of internet, wouldn't matter what you have
3:10 pm
hokie carla
I think these construction guys nearby keep hitting it but I don't know.
3:10 pm
hokie carla
bye welki
3:10 pm
72 Temple Owl
yes, there's that
3:11 pm
72 Temple Owl
bBL, time to get working. happy babbling
3:11 pm
moolingwa
and regardless of whether you have cell or landline, it relies on the phone company having resiliency in their switches and network
3:11 pm
moolingwa
and then if your phone lines are carried on poles (as was the case for me in PA), then it can go down with the power
3:14 pm
hokie carla
we have all underground utilities
3:14 pm
hokie carla
but they are aboveground somewhere down the line
3:22 pm
moolingwa
In Miami, the water table is only 7ft below the surface, so makes it complicated
3:22 pm
moolingwa
a lot of septic tanks, above ground utilities and no basements
3:23 pm
moolingwa
when you build a pool it's a bit more complicated
3:23 pm
hokie carla
I bet
3:23 pm
moolingwa
Not a problem in Colorado though
3:24 pm
hokie carla
we have a pool but have such a huge slope we had to get a very high retaining wall put in
3:24 pm
moolingwa
it costs about $100K to put a pull in here
3:24 pm
moolingwa
county ordinance requires heating to be put in as well...our swimming season can be somewhat short
3:25 pm
hokie carla
wow. yeah, ours was a lot but not that much
3:25 pm
moolingwa
not that I have a yard big enough to house a pool anyway
3:25 pm
hokie carla
our basement has 16' ceilings so that's how steep our yard is
3:26 pm
moolingwa
that's pretty high
3:26 pm
moolingwa
my living room has got maybe 14ft
3:26 pm
hokie carla
usually they say pools add nothing to resale but I think maybe that's changed a little during this pandemic.
3:26 pm
moolingwa
my basement I think is more like 9ft
3:27 pm
hokie carla
our living room is 2 story so I assume higher than the basement
3:27 pm
moolingwa
Ah, I only have single story...just high ceilings in the living room
3:28 pm
moolingwa
the master bedroom also has high pitched ceiling, and part of the kitchen too
3:28 pm
moolingwa
I like this house
3:29 pm
hokie carla
you are in CO now or Miami?
3:29 pm
moolingwa
The one in Miami I even considered bulldozing and starting again
3:30 pm
hokie carla
we like this one but are ready to downsize when the youngest goes to college next year
3:30 pm
moolingwa
yeah, I've got a few years to go for that :)
3:30 pm
hokie carla
they will fly by!
3:30 pm
moolingwa
yeah, she's already halfway there
3:31 pm
moolingwa
well this board has certainly slowed down
3:31 pm
moolingwa
54 to go
3:32 pm
hokie carla
I have found a few 4's. still 8 left. 79 total.
3:32 pm
moolingwa
13 4s left
3:32 pm
moolingwa
down to 8 sevens left
3:32 pm
hokie carla
11 7s here
3:33 pm
moolingwa
trying to knock off some of these P's...have 13 of those left
3:35 pm
hokie carla
18 here
3:35 pm
moolingwa
down to 10 now
3:35 pm
moolingwa
couple of p7s that are new to me
3:36 pm
hokie carla
and you just managed to monkey them?
3:36 pm
moolingwa
Yeah, one of the things I do is just kind of look for things that might be words on letters that I have a lot left on
3:37 pm
moolingwa
so will take a prefix, and maybe apply an ending that mind me feasible
3:37 pm
moolingwa
which is the case for these two p7s
3:37 pm
hokie carla
just found the famous brothers in philly (cheese steaks)
3:38 pm
hokie carla
NTPN!
3:38 pm
moolingwa
Pat's and Geno's?
3:39 pm
hokie carla
actually, sorry, they are pittsburgh and I guess sandwiches not specific to cheesesteak
3:39 pm
moolingwa
ah...yeah less familiar with the Pittsburghian sandwiches...don't they put fries on them or something?
3:40 pm
hokie carla
I don't know, I've just heard of them, maybe seen them on Food Network
3:40 pm
hokie carla
Primanti Bros
3:40 pm
moolingwa
yeah, I've been to Pittsburgh a few times...but not for their sandwiches
3:41 pm
moolingwa
btw, that isn't the prefix I was using :)
3:42 pm
hokie carla
I have only been once, in college. went with a group of guys to see the pirates play the braves in the NLCS. and we drove all night back home. so no sandwiches for me etiher.
3:42 pm
moolingwa
I've been there with a women's hockey team, then to go see the New York Rangers play the Penguins, also been there for work
3:42 pm
hokie carla
ok, if you want to clue the prefix, that's fine
3:43 pm
hokie carla
I always wanted to try hockey but never had an opportunity
3:43 pm
moolingwa
Well only if you're really "for" me doing that...
3:44 pm
hokie carla
ok, thx. I did find a pr5, but unknown 7s would be stretching my abilities. but I will try.
3:44 pm
moolingwa
well you probably almost certainly have the remainder of the words as distinct words
3:46 pm
moolingwa
well, have broken 50
3:46 pm
hokie carla
so you are saying it is a prefix and not just those 3 letters at the beginning?
3:46 pm
hokie carla
found 1!
3:46 pm
moolingwa
those three letters at the beginning + four letter word
3:48 pm
hokie carla
76 here
3:48 pm
moolingwa
48 here
3:48 pm
moolingwa

moolingwa
I only have the three so far...one more h left
4:26 pm
hokie carla
I need 4 but only have 2 hy
4:27 pm
hokie carla
did someone say there was an hy9?
4:29 pm
moolingwa
yes, there is an hy9
4:29 pm
moolingwa
overly happy :)
4:30 pm
moolingwa
actually the opposite
4:30 pm
moolingwa
underly happy
4:30 pm
hokie carla
some might say the opposite of overly happy is depressed but I like what you did there
4:31 pm
hokie carla
somehow I managed to get it, thx
4:31 pm
moolingwa
I try hard not to give it away if I can
4:31 pm
hokie carla
do you have both 8s?
4:32 pm
moolingwa
no, just the one
4:32 pm
hokie carla

hokie carla

4:40 pm
moolingwa
you might want to keep it amongst us
4:40 pm
hokie carla
the clues might be more helpful before I find the words.
4:40 pm
hokie carla
but I say might because they probably won't. haha.
4:42 pm
hokie carla
hmm, another word. appears to be NSFW but that's not the real def
4:44 pm
moolingwa
yay, 2 more words
4:45 pm
hokie carla

I think I'm missing an i7
4:55 pm
moolingwa
I have an in7 off the middle i...missing an i tho
4:55 pm
moolingwa
could say I'm half blind on trying to find that missing i
4:55 pm
moolingwa
oh nm, was another i7
4:55 pm
moolingwa
was just missing a plural
4:56 pm
hokie carla
yeah that is my missing i. I thought I recalled someone saying there were 2 in, but I don't see it.
4:56 pm
moolingwa
there are 2 in7
4:56 pm
hokie carla
I did find a 3rd ca6 though
4:56 pm
moolingwa

4:57 pm
hokie carla
thx, twas the plural
4:57 pm

Hi Nef. How are you doing?
9:33 pm
Nef
Doing well, now. How about you?
9:34 pm
wht
Pretty well, but not excited about the heavy rain turning to snow they are predicting for us tomorrow.
9:36 pm
Nef
Where’s that? Here in MN we still don’t have snow. We had an 8†dump in mid-Oct. & a dusting last month, but none sine (& what we had has been gone for weeks).
9:37 pm
wht
I'm right outside Boston. They are saying mostly rain and only a couple of inches of snow but in Worcester they are saying 6" to a foot.
9:38 pm
Nef
Well, I know it’s not fun; but it is the season.
9:45 pm
wht
Yes, and I will take our winters over yours. We get snow but not the bone-chilling cold you get out there.
9:47 pm
Nef
LOL! I always say I moved south for the warmer climate. I started out in the NW corner of MN & got as far south as the Twin Cities; it isn’t nearly as cold (orwindy as up there).
9:48 pm
rururocks
I've been half frozen in Boston when the wind blows across the ocean in the harbor
9:50 pm
rururocks
the Coldest I've ever been was in Winnepeg
9:50 pm
Nef
Hi ruru. Yes, I would think those storms off the ocean would be miserable too.
9:51 pm
Nef
How cold was it when you were there, ru?
9:51 pm
rururocks
57 below
9:52 pm
rururocks
in Boston it was 10 degrees but near the water (my hotel was there) i froze to death just trying to get in a cab
9:52 pm
rururocks
I love boston
9:53 pm
Nef
Winnepeg was about 180 miles north of my home town. I don’t remember it being much below -50 when I was growing up up there.
9:54 pm
rururocks
it was 40 something below with a wind chill factor of 57 below.. and I was trying to cross country ski with a friend .. i got frost bite
9:55 pm
wht
I am just below the crest of the first hill outside of Boston. You can see the ocean from the top of it (or you could before the started building a lot of tall buildings). We are protected a bit from the worst of the wind in the winter but we still get a sea breeze in the summer.
9:55 pm
rururocks
like near Needham?
9:55 pm
Nef
I don’t think I ever was in the actual city of Boston but I went to a 3 day wedding (once upon a time) just outside of there
9:56 pm
wht
I am in Arlington. Just off Route 2.
9:56 pm
rururocks
i went to a Red Sox game at the big green monster :D Loved it
9:58 pm
wht
We try to catch a game or two a year. Not this year of course, which was just as well given how bad the Sox were this year.
9:58 pm
rururocks
it's the highs and the lows with them I think
9:59 pm
Nef
Kind of like our Twins, then.
9:59 pm
wht
But Fenway is a great place to see a game.
10:00 pm
rururocks
it is a great place to see a game
10:00 pm
wht
I know there were business reasons, but I don't think I can forgive them for trading Mookie Betts.
10:00 pm
rururocks
he's a great, great player.. they were stupid to give him up
10:02 pm
wht
I am glad he got to the World Series again with LA.
10:03 pm
rururocks
LA is going to win it again in 2021 no doubt
10:04 pm
jan
That'sthe problem with baseball these days--teams that prioritize bottom line over winning for fans. I understand that they prefer to spend as little as possible, but I resent that they expect us to keep spending exorbitant amounts for seats nonetheless. Not to mention beer prices 15 bucks for a beer?
10:05 pm

I haven't been to Fenway since 2002, when I bought 4 seats from a scalper for my parents' 50th wedding anniversary. It was a brutally cold game in May--sleet and freezing rain for three hours before gametime. I kept telling my parents that we didn't need to stay, but they insisted we stay to the very last out. It was a game Pedro Martinez threw a complete game, and then we went to Durgan Park (RIP) for their anniversary dinner. No beer was ordered at the ballpark--my parents are teetotallers.
