jessmom

12:11 am

cybernan

12:11 am

gingentle

12:26 am

12:27 am

cybernan

12:28 am

12:29 am

12:30 am

Gillie

12:32 am

cybernan

nbt, nbs and off to bed :)

12:33 am

cybernan

hoping for some good sized grids, goodness knows there won't be much to watch on TV this week other than never ending coverage and speculation on the impeachment trial

12:35 am

rururocks

they won't impeach him.. the republicans are too frightened of him

12:36 am

cybernan

I would have thought they would be more frightened of public outrage

12:37 am

Gillie

Too much of their base still supports Trump, it seems.

12:37 am

rururocks

i hope this comes back to bite them in the ass in their next elections

12:37 am

gingentle

I am surprised one of his disillusioned q-idiots has not tried to off him.

12:39 am

rururocks

oh god.. that would make him a martyr

12:39 am

gingentle

he is already whining like one

12:39 am

rururocks

well all done.. and off to bed night folks

12:40 am

gingentle

night!

12:47 am

gingentle

tato

12:55 am

pigeonman

I don't get wrapped up in politics, and I've never thought of politicians as very decent people anyway. Trump was an A-hole, but trying to impeach him after he is out of office just makes them look small and petty.

1:02 am

joym999

Pigeon, what they're worried about is Trump running again, and also that ex-Presidents are allowed to continue to get security briefings. Plus they get expensive security details. If he's found guilty he loses that and can't run again.

1:13 am

Jacula

Trump must be impeached for a second time, never allowed to run for office in USA or any other country again. The man is almost insanee and most certainly unstable.

1:14 am

bookwomen

it is getting crowded in the PB lol

1:24 am

joym999

what's PB?

1:25 am

bookwomen

penalty box when you use a work in the grid in the chat. often stocked with snacks. The ex is in the puzzle

1:26 am

joym999

I've never gotten any snacks!

1:27 am

bookwomen

I made berry muffins tonight I will be happy to share

1:27 am

joym999

yum...what kind of berries?

1:28 am

bookwomen

mixed, blueberry and raspberry

1:28 am

joym999

I'll be right over!

3:12 am

mattygroves

If we're lucky, there are cocktails in the PB as well

4:17 am

MollyL

: D

4:23 am

player girl

I need so much help today, a small grid but a snarky one. I need the A in the second column, the I in the second column and all the O's!! I'm a hip grandma but I'm not getting it today.

4:24 am

player girl

Ah! Got one of the A's . I am on fi4.

4:46 am

mattygroves

5:41 am

worzel

5:41 am

worzel

nm she's found her password!!

6:01 am

MollyL

At the bottom of the page, in red, it says SEND THEM. If you hover over that, it gives you Dr. God's email in the left bottom corner of your screen. He can help with people unable to log in.

6:02 am

frogface

Thanks Molly, I found my password luckily, I was sitting here twiddling my thumbs when I thought I couldn't play.

7:30 am

7:31 am

hokie carla

7:32 am

MollyL

I feel bad for Mahomes. He had such a good year. He deserved a Superbowl win.

7:32 am

hokie carla

well, now it switched to bruce hornsby

7:33 am

hokie carla

I was def. for KC and mahomie

7:34 am

MollyL

I'm so tired of Brady (and Gisele) I wish they would just go away

7:35 am

hokie carla

me too, and I dislike Gronk just as much or more

7:37 am

hokie carla

ugh, just found past pres

7:37 am

BzznBea

His impeachment starts today.

7:38 am

hokie carla

7:41 am

hokie carla

7:42 am

HarryHood

I think I would have been rooting for KC if not for that trouncing they gave the bills.

7:42 am

HarryHood

after that I wanted some revenge, so even if it's in the hands of brady and gronk

7:43 am

dauber

io6 - looks like an element but isn't

7:44 am

Freeman

Mahomes will be back. Mahomes is a great kid and a better quarterback. But I was happy for Brady. Coming to a new team and taking them and winning the Super Bowl the first year is pretty incredible.

7:45 am

HarryHood

ah got the io. ty

7:46 am

MollyL

Just give Harry a chemistry clue and he breaks loose

7:46 am

Freeman

Thanks got the io6

hokie carla

7:48 am

HarryHood

7:50 am

HarryHood

(I've knocked the steve miller midnight smoker out iwth partridge family and tom lehrer)

7:51 am

hokie carla

7:51 am

HarryHood

HarryHood

hokie carla

7:52 am

MollyL

The Partridge Family? Seriously?

7:52 am

hokie carla

some things will never change

7:53 am

HarryHood

a whole lot of lovin' molly!

7:53 am

BzznBea

I love the Partridge Family.

7:53 am

hokie carla

I did start singing Partridge Family when he told welki to get happy

7:53 am

HarryHood

susan dey! danny bonaduce!

7:53 am

HarryHood

what's not to love?

7:54 am

MollyL

Okay, I will confess, I had a Partridge Family lunch box when I was a kid

7:54 am

hokie carla

why are you leaving out david cassidy?

7:54 am

HarryHood

I'm partial to Shawn

7:54 am

HarryHood

dadoorunrunrun

7:55 am

HarryHood

my neighbor had a shawn cassidy lunchbox. and a sweathogs one too.

7:56 am

hokie carla

I did like him on the Hardy Boys

7:56 am

HarryHood

oh yeah! I forgot about that!

7:56 am

HarryHood

I forgot the one who played Frank

7:56 am

BzznBea

I can see his face...

7:57 am

hokie carla

parker stephenson or something. he was on early Baywatcho!

7:57 am

hokie carla

Baywatch!

7:57 am

MollyL

Yeah, well just remember that Son of Sam was a Partridge Family fan. That sort of curbed my enthusiasm.

7:57 am

HarryHood

good carla!

7:57 am

HarryHood

what a memory

7:57 am

hokie carla

my head is full of useless TV trivia

7:57 am

BzznBea

Parker Stevenson. He was married to Kirstie Alley.

7:57 am

HarryHood

molly I did not know that. kind of puts a damper on my school bus "nervous mother driving" memories

7:58 am

MollyL

Apparently, Carla spent most of her childhood in front of the TV

7:58 am

hokie carla

you're right, bea. forgot they were married.

7:58 am

hokie carla

I thought I mentioned before how I was a latchkey kid and watched a LOT of tv.

7:58 am

BzznBea

Who didn't spend their childhood in front of tv. I did, when ours worked.

8:00 am

HarryHood

I watched a TON of tv as a kid

8:00 am

hokie carla

my brothers are 9 and 4 years older than me, so early on I watched what they watched, and when it was just me, I watched what I wanted. but we watched Brady Bunch every single day after school if you ever want to know anything from that.

8:01 am

HarryHood

and it was so awful - I watch those shows now and cringe

8:01 am

HarryHood

my saturday nights were love boat and fantasy island. I had a very active social life.

8:01 am

welki

we were latchkey kids, too - homework and then tv

8:01 am

BzznBea

Gilligan's Island

8:02 am

MollyL

Topping the awful list..."My Mother The Car"

8:02 am

HarryHood

ouch. or the flying nun

8:03 am

hokie carla

I also watched FI and LB on Sat nights

8:04 am

BzznBea

I did too, CArla.

8:04 am

hokie carla

Gilligan's Island was just so frustrating because they had a legit chance of being saved every episode until Gilligan screwed it up.

8:05 am

hokie carla

also, all those guests on the island never told anyone they found an island of castaways?

8:05 am

HarryHood

earlier sat nights were either candid camera or emergency one, depending who you were. I was a CC kkid.

8:05 am

hokie carla

I have vague memories of candid camera

8:06 am

hokie carla

also I'm sure I watched Dallas (fri night?) with my mom because I remember the whole who shot JR thing.

8:07 am

HarryHood

I watched Soap until my parents found out I was watching it and put an end to that.

8:08 am

HarryHood

making no progress here. 32 to go. time for class - have fun everybody

8:09 am

hokie carla

still 51 here but not really trying

8:09 am

BzznBea

I found another chemestry related.

8:10 am

hokie carla

trying to entice harry to skip his class? lol

8:17 am

MollyL

Oh, another bad show (and it's in the grid) The Ghost and Mrs. Muir. My Dad loved it because he had a crush on Hope Lange.

8:17 am

hokie carla

I've heard of that one but never saw it

8:20 am

BzznBea

That middle I is a tough one.

8:24 am

dauber

I got 7 of the 8 middle Is....stumped on the last one.

8:25 am

BzznBea

There is an ir7 there.

8:25 am

dauber

Yeah, I got the ir7...

8:26 am

BzznBea

And an ir5.18

8:27 am

MLFAN17

8:29 am

godthaab

The most odious word i have ever come across is in the grid today.

8:29 am

MLFAN17

what are the stats god?

8:30 am

godthaab

tr5

8:30 am

dauber

Heh. I found a pretty odious word but I don't want to go there!

8:30 am

bichon

thinking ankle, but there's no l

8:30 am

dauber

godthaab - I think you and I are on the same leve here. :)

8:30 am

MLFAN17

bichon i cant think of it either

8:30 am

BzznBea

A class that teaches the parts of the body

8:31 am

hokie carla

study of the human body

8:31 am

hokie carla

and thanks, bea

8:31 am

Jeanius421

odious doesn't begin to describe it

8:31 am

MollyL

Think Grey's for the any7

8:31 am

dauber

The second word of the third-column A is...well...not fun at all in terms of finding it.

8:31 am

bichon

ty carla

8:31 am

godthaab

dauber - yea.....

8:31 am

hokie carla

looking for the ir5 right now, is it a regular word?

8:32 am

MLFAN17

that is a ph word

8:32 am

dauber

Heh...a friend told me she can't play euchre any more because of that odious word you mentioned. I suggested maybe use the term "supertrick" instead. She liked it. :)

8:32 am

bichon

it's a weird one with high point tile

8:32 am

MLFAN17

t got it

8:32 am

dauber

the ir5 is NOT a "regular" word...especially if you have an abecedarian vocabulary.

8:33 am

hokie carla

well, since I don't even know what that means, I'm in trouble :D

8:33 am

dauber

I'm down to six now and still can't find that 13th 6! ughgh...see if I can find it before work starts. :)

8:33 am

BzznBea

I still have 4 sixes to find.

8:33 am

MLFAN17

i dont know what that means either

8:33 am

hokie carla

I still have 6 6's

8:33 am

MollyL

I would never let enjoying a card game end just because of one definition of a word

8:33 am

godthaab

Dauber - I never even thought of that! There is a guy on TV who will not say it either - one of those late night talk show guys

8:34 am

bichon

ir vowel high point tile vowel

8:34 am

hokie carla

looked it up, mlfan, it basically means alphabetical order

8:34 am

MLFAN17

ty got it

8:34 am

MollyL

Most people just say ABC order

8:34 am

hokie carla

my favorite tr5 game is ro4

8:35 am

MLFAN17

hokie which one?

8:35 am

hokie carla

I just told you, the one called ro4

8:35 am

MLFAN17

ohh

8:36 am

MLFAN17

i only have 1 ro 4

8:36 am

BzznBea

Is that played with a regular deck of cards, Carla?

8:38 am

MollyL

I think it's a special deck, like UNO

8:38 am

BzznBea

We are looking for more card games to play here. We have played Phase 10, Uno and countless hands of Hearts.

8:39 am

MLFAN17

uno one of my all time favorite card games

8:40 am

MollyL

Do you like Pinochle? I got seriously into that for a while.

8:40 am

bichon

I should hook you up with my granddaughter

8:40 am

BzznBea

Yes, it is a special deck, Molly. Thanks.

8:40 am

BzznBea

We like Phase 10 better tha Uno.

8:40 am

MLFAN17

how about Concentration

8:41 am

hokie carla

it is a special deck of cards

8:41 am

BzznBea

I've never played Pinochle

8:41 am

BzznBea

I don't want to play anything I have to bid.

8:42 am

MLFAN17

i dont like this grid

8:42 am

hokie carla

I've read it came about due to people not wanting to play with regular cards due to religious reasons. there are different variations, like it's different in KY than it is in my area of SWVA/NETN.

8:42 am

hokie carla

and it is a bidding game, bea

8:42 am

bichon

Pinochle makes me think of my dad and granddad

8:43 am

dauber

Ahhh....down to the last word: an r6

8:43 am

hokie carla

to take something again?

8:44 am

MLFAN17

ty hokie

8:44 am

hokie carla

so obviously today's grid theme is card games. ru5, ro4, tr5

8:46 am

dauber

Ahhhh....re6. Seacrest out!

8:46 am

BzznBea

And chemistry. Lots of those words

8:46 am

hokie carla

lol, well done and adios

8:46 am

hokie carla

true, but that happens a lot

8:47 am

dauber

And still have 14 minutes before I have to clock in. :)

8:56 am

BzznBea

I'm off for the day. Toodles.

9:42 am

welki

9:43 am

welki

i could (happily) cancel cable and get rid of all the televisions

9:44 am

cybernan

good morning everyone :)

9:44 am

welki

that said, i need a good book to read - suggestions for historical fiction?

9:44 am

welki

9:45 am

cybernan

9:45 am

Haz1558

Have you read 'All the light we cannot see' by Anthony Doerr?

9:45 am

72 Temple Owl

mary renault awlays comes to mind. and there is someone who writes about the women in britain, like the tudors

9:45 am

72 Temple Owl

still reading my hoover bio.

9:45 am

72 Temple Owl

haz

9:46 am

Haz1558

9:46 am

72 Temple Owl

Red Jacket by Joseph Heywood

9:46 am

Biltong

9:46 am

phaeton

9:47 am

Haz1558

9:47 am

72 Temple Owl

9:47 am

phaeton

ir7 uses most of the i's

9:47 am

72 Temple Owl

thanks for the book reommendations

9:47 am

Haz1558

As long as you're kicking, you're doing okay.

9:48 am

72 Temple Owl

who here has a ring doorbell and do you like it?

9:48 am

Haz1558

I tend to read mostly non-fiction and then go on a fiction spree for a while.

9:48 am

welki

ooh, that red jacket looks interesting. i really like series - jeffrey archer, for example. my fave author was michener

9:48 am

Haz1558

They're not historical fiction but I like the Alexander McCall Smith Scotland Street series.

9:48 am

welki

yes, thanks for the recommendations!

9:48 am

72 Temple Owl

ditto.

9:49 am

Haz1558

Or the series set in Botswana, no 1 ladies detective agency.

9:49 am

72 Temple Owl

there is a series "everyone is reading" about alternate choices, paths. i forgot the name

9:49 am

welki

i tried that, haz - didn't do much for me

9:49 am

Krysten

I have a ring doorbell, have had it for at least 2 years now

9:50 am

Krysten

love it

9:50 am

Haz1558

It's very slow moving, I grant you (the Botswana ones).

9:50 am

72 Temple Owl

now i feel awful for reading so much less lately.

9:50 am

Haz1558

For historical fiction, ever considered the Mapp and Lucia series by E F Benson?

9:50 am

72 Temple Owl

do you like it, krysten? i have heard good things but also privacy risks

9:51 am

Haz1558

I have read them over and over and still love them.

9:52 am

i want to get some cameras as well.

If you want to reduce the risk, if you know how, you can create a separate network within your home to keep it separate from your other devices.

#2 on all the light we cannot see!

9:52 am

pcal2

Series suggestion: Dr Siri series by Colin Cotterill if you like a little fantansy along with a lot of Laotian history.

9:52 am

welki

thanks, haz - writing all these down!

9:52 am

pcal2

fantasy

9:52 am

welki

thanks, pcal

9:52 am

Haz1558

More historical fiction, not a series though, I enjoy Wilkie Collins.

9:53 am

72 Temple Owl

it's amazing seeing crime footage recorded on people's rings on the news

9:53 am

Haz1558

Woman in white, The Moonstone etc.

9:53 am

welki

ohhh, the dr siri books look great!

9:53 am

pcal2

Haz I read all of the No 1 Ladies .... Slow but had to read them all!

9:53 am

Krysten

But it's great for recording issues at the door. for example, we received a package from Amazon where the delivery person literally threw the package at the door.

9:54 am

pcal2

They are. Also a lot of comedy and the characters are really likeable.

9:54 am

72 Temple Owl

we sometimes have little issues with young kids, othing major. sinc ethe houses are so close and everyone is home, not much going on.

9:55 am

Haz1558

pcal, my husband read a couple and pronounced that nothing happens. He's right but it's part of the charm. The characters seem real.

9:55 am

Krysten

We were also able to use the Ring app to talk to the people looking after our house while we were overseas. All without using cell data!

9:55 am

72 Temple Owl

our library is curbisde pickup. i get a feed very week with new material but it's just not the same as browsing.

9:56 am

welki

the coroner's lunch is now on hold

9:56 am

72 Temple Owl

krysten that sounds great ty

9:56 am

pcal2

Agreed. Must mention another series that is completely different, but if you like detective/police procedurals the J.D. Robb In Death series is great!

9:56 am

Krysten

You're welcome TO

9:56 am

pcal2

Yay Welki!

9:56 am

cybernan

the beauty of e-readers -- you can borrow the books from your library on line.

9:57 am

Haz1558

More historical fiction springs to mind. The Cadfael series by Ellis Peters. Mind you, it's about a mediaeval monk detective so it's very historical but beautifully written.

9:58 am

welki

all this copying and pasting!! you gals are great!

9:58 am

Haz1558

I'm mentally scanning my bookshelves!

9:58 am

pcal2

Yep, that was one of my favorites. Also the candace robb owen archer series.

9:59 am

welki

haz, we're downsizing - one of the most difficult things will be culling the books

9:59 am

Wendrie

The Duncan Kincaid/Gemma James Crime novels (18 Books) by Deborah Crombie

9:59 am

Haz1558

Understandable. I've started to buy e-reader replacements for some of mine.

10:00 am

welki

and another county heard from - thanks, wendrie!

10:00 am

Haz1558

I never thought I would get on with reading on a device but it works fine and so handy for storage.

10:01 am

welki

i enjoy the convenience of e-readers, but miss paper books. the feel, the smell of a new book - don't miss the expense, though

10:01 am

pcal2

Anybody here use Book Bub? I get all my books for Kindle through them and pay nothing...although they have offerings which are not free: most for 99cents to $2.99.

10:01 am

72 Temple Owl

what device, Haz?

10:01 am

welki

*watches everyone scramble to book bub*

10:01 am

Haz1558

I have an awful habit of looking at the end of a book. Can't do it so well with the electronic sort.

10:02 am

cybernan

One of the best things about e-readers for me, is not having to go out to exchange the books for new. And of course, our libraries have been closed since March.

10:02 am

Haz1558

It's an Android tablet, TO, and hooked up to Google Playstore and also Kindle.

10:03 am

saanichcat

10:03 am

welki

i have a kobo (that i hardly use because of the $$), and read my library books on an iPad

10:03 am

Haz1558

I love having everything under the one roof, so to speak.

10:03 am

Biltong

10:04 am

10:08 am

thank you, nan, but my kobo is so old that it doesn't have a browser feature

10:10 am

Haz1558

I imagine you've got quite a list to work through now, welki!

10:11 am

welki

i've been given many good leads on good reads - it makes this cold week a little warmer :)

10:12 am

Haz1558

Good.

10:18 am

cybernan

download adobe digital editions (free) - and version 3 works best with the library systems. You download the books to Adobe Digital library on you computer, then transfer the books to your kobo

10:21 am

cybernan
