or6 sex parties.

7:56 am

hokie carla

did not see that o coming

7:58 am

BzznBea

I thought Molly's clue was organ sex parties.

7:58 am

MollyL

There is King Cake, Jambalaya and beads for all in the PB

7:58 am

hokie carla

hmm

7:58 am

BzznBea

Happy Fat Tuesday!

7:58 am

dan2bit

carla maybe it wasn't hard enough

7:58 am

hokie carla

did not even realize

7:59 am

BzznBea

I'm giving up television for Lent.

7:59 am

MollyL

It's pretty much in and out

7:59 am

hokie carla

penetrating observations

8:00 am

MollyL

I thought you already gave up television

8:00 am

hokie carla

bea, you already gave up tv

8:00 am

MollyL

I don't believe in giving things up for Lent. I think it's better to "do" something positive instead

8:01 am

hokie carla

I give up things some years, other years I don't. I already give up gluten year round, that is a sacrifice.

8:02 am

BzznBea

I know I gave it up already. Should be easy.

8:02 am

dan2bit

my dad always does liquor-free Lent. he's fun to talk to about noon on Easter Sunday though... :-)

8:02 am

MollyL

I have just never bought the notion that a loving creator wants us to suffer

8:03 am

dan2bit

haha le4 in the grid - PB for us, Molly

8:04 am

hokie carla

I struggle with the no meat/eat fish on Fridays. mr. homie said that was from a pope way back who was trying to revive the fish industry.my friend who converted to catholicism is very strict about that.

8:06 am

MollyL

That is why I am IN the PB, keeping the Jambalaya warm. Laissez les bon temps rouler!

8:11 am

hokie carla

NTPN! operating system

8:14 am

MollyL

*Shines up the Babble tiara for Une

8:15 am

MollyL

Guess what's coming tomorrow night? Yep. More freaking snow.

8:16 am

BzznBea

More rain.

8:16 am

hokie carla

my son played in a soccer game last night - 39F and torrential downpour, but then it was finally stopped and canceled due to the nonstop LIGHTNING AND THUNDER.

8:17 am

BzznBea

Hey, we could be in the below zero temps with snow.

8:18 am

MollyL

I am starting to feel the lack of sunshine. Time to beef up the vitamin D

8:18 am

hokie carla

while I don't like below zero temps, snow is preferable to the cold rain we've had all winter

8:18 am

hokie carla

we have sunshine right now! I should go walk Winston.

8:18 am

MollyL

Snow is NEVER preferable to me. You don't have to shovel rain.

8:19 am

hokie carla

our street flooded again and washed our trash bin down the street

8:20 am

hokie carla

pe6 and or6. found today's theme!

8:21 am

BzznBea

Thanks for the PE

8:21 am

hokie carla

phantoms arsenic, arsenal

8:26 am

MollyL

Floating Trash Bins, sounds like a grunge band

8:26 am

hokie carla

stuck at 33. guess I will walk winston and then go pick up my groceries. TTFN

8:26 am

hokie carla

so you're calling dibs on that for a band name?

8:38 am

phaeton

phantom: sexual

8:38 am

MollyL

No, not really Carla. Just an observation.

8:45 am

HarryHood

9:46 am

rururocks

ic5

9:47 am

hurshy

thanks ru

9:47 am

Aloyisius

adj. has to do with recurring stress in poetical form (my new word for today).. hi all

9:48 am

HarryHood

hello ru, aloy

9:49 am

HarryHood

not so easy today - first pass and 55 to go.

9:49 am

Aloyisius

Hi Harry.. hope you are staying warm

9:49 am

HarryHood

it's so warm today! around 40 F

9:50 am

Aloyisius

was listening to NPR reports from Dallas.. brr.. power company intermittently shutting down to prevent total blackouts, not enough snow removal equipment, etc

9:50 am

MollyL

Strange. I am finding a different definition for ic5

9:51 am

Aloyisius

I used a Scrabble dictionary

9:51 am

HarryHood

crazy tx weather indeed

9:54 am

hurshy

one more t, o what can it be

9:55 am

dauber

There's an ar5/10 that shows up here and in a lot of other puzzles. I wonder...what that's trying to tell us.

9:56 am

hurshy

that it's a word, in English, made of common letters?

9:56 am

dauber

Some of the weirdest English words are made of common letters. (This one isn't, but...kind of dark!)

9:56 am

hurshy

enues

9:56 am

hurshy

whoops sorry

9:57 am

hurshy

not a word anyway

9:57 am

rururocks

that's clever though hursh

9:57 am

HarryHood

got up, ran upstairs to answer my cell ringing. missed the call. phone says "spam risk"

9:57 am

hurshy

what, my non word?

9:57 am

rururocks

yup

9:57 am

hokie carla

hello again, naturally

9:57 am

HarryHood

hi carla

9:58 am

rururocks

sure is easy to close out letters in this grid

9:58 am

hurshy

if you say so lol

9:58 am

Aloyisius

hi hokie

9:58 am

hurshy

it's much less clever when you realize that if it WERE a word, it would come from the top E, which i have already greyed out

9:59 am

Aloyisius

hursh, is ti5.14 your missing t? Just found it

9:59 am

hurshy

that'll be it, yes

9:59 am

hurshy

thanks

9:59 am

hurshy

weird, you'd think te6 would be harder but nooo

9:59 am

Aloyisius

good.. yw

10:03 am

rururocks

just p's now for me

10:04 am

hokie carla

still 32 here

10:04 am

hurshy

95 here :D

10:04 am

hokie carla

oh, I thought you were about to finish

10:04 am

hurshy

no, i just needed one T to grey the top row

10:05 am

hokie carla

not getting ic5, regular or ridiculous?

10:05 am

hokie carla

I need 1 i, 2C, 2T, and 1 E for top row. LOL

10:05 am

hurshy

weird but at least the ending is a standard adjectival ending

10:05 am

Aloyisius

ends with a twitch hokie

10:05 am

hokie carla

got it, thanks, both. weird indeed

10:06 am

Aloyisius

fw here.. off to do laundry if no clues are needed

10:06 am

hokie carla

well done!

10:07 am

Aloyisius

tx, maybe we will have a big one tomorrow.. ciao and Happy Babbling

10:11 am

hurshy

the valet has arrived to groom the king

10:12 am

MollyL

Hurshy is into those funny mushrooms again

10:13 am

hurshy

no, it's just Opie and Fritz, my cats

10:13 am

hurshy

Opie is the King of Everything, clad in golden robes, whose splendor is wondrous to behold

10:13 am

hokie carla

and rilla? how many cats? and how many make you a cat lady?

10:13 am

hurshy

Fritz is his valet, in a tuxedo, naturally

10:14 am

hurshy

yes, and then there's Rilla, and that is the whole gang

10:14 am

hurshy

but, you may recall that while Rilla LOOKS like a cat, she is actually an angel, therefore i have two cats and one angel

10:15 am

hokie carla

molly's onto something ...

10:15 am

hurshy

y'all are just boring grown-ups i guess

10:16 am

hurshy

no imagination

10:17 am

hokie carla

no, I'm totally imagining you as a crazy cat lady right now

10:17 am

hurshy

that's not imagination, that's taking evidence and visualizing it. if you told me you were cooking and i pictured you cooking, that's not really imagination

10:17 am

hokie carla

:D

10:32 am

hurshy

what's the 8?

10:34 am

hokie carla

I thought I saw someone say au. I have au6/7

10:35 am

hokie carla

stuck at 25. 7 4's, 7 5's, 6 6's, 4 7's, 1 8

10:35 am

hurshy

mk got au7/8 combo

10:36 am

hurshy

9 left here, three 7s, five 6s, and a four

10:37 am

hokie carla

what is my N on the bottom?

10:37 am

hurshy

no4/6 or the greek temples

10:38 am

hokie carla

must be greek temples

10:44 am

moolingwa

morning all

10:45 am

hurshy

morningi mool

10:45 am

moolingwa

hey hursh, happy Tuesday

10:46 am

hurshy

it did not start well for me

10:46 am

hokie carla

moo!

10:48 am

MollyL

Oh man, those are some mushrooms. Carlos Castenada would be jealous

10:51 am

hurshy

actually, this is why i've never needed to drink or take drugs. i'm quite silly and uninhibited enough without any assistance

10:52 am

hokie carla

Ha! that has been my motto for my whole adult life. I modified it in the last few years to "exactly the same with or without alcohol".

10:54 am

MollyL

I don't think either one of you needs any inhibition loosening.

10:54 am

rururocks

I'm ok with drugs and alcohol personally..

10:55 am

rururocks

not hard drugs though

10:55 am

hokie carla

have never been drunk or done drugs. don't really like alcohol unless it's a sweet mixed drink or something and then I'd rather save the calories for a delicious dessert.

10:56 am

moolingwa

hey hoke...happy day of Tyr

10:57 am

MollyL

Anyone who thinks about calories while they are drinking will never be successful at it

10:57 am

hokie carla

well, broke down and went to the list. missed some easy ones, but still 7 left!

10:57 am

moolingwa

122 left :)

10:57 am

hokie carla

this was not an easy one for me

11:08 am

MollyL

Okay, this is one of the funniest things I have seen in a long time. "I see people driving alone in their car wearing a mask and I wonder if they lay in bed alone wearing a condom."

11:09 am

dauber

Given that people have their masks on in their cars likely have multiple stops and don't want to keep touching their masks, I...hope that same logic doesn't applies to condoms!

11:10 am

dauber

*apply ....ughgh!!!! subject/verb agreement...

11:11 am

rururocks

you need participation with a condom ... otherwise..

11:12 am

bichon

le 6/21, pls

11:13 am

72 Temple Owl

think soup, change final letter

11:14 am

dauber

Ooh, nice! Thanks!

11:14 am

MollyL

It never fails. Whenever I bring up people alone in cars wearing masks, someone defends it. That is okay, I will just keep on laughing.

11:15 am

dauber

(Also is nice if the heater doesn't work. :) )

11:15 am

rururocks

i take my mask off when driving.. mostly because my glasses fog up

11:16 am

dauber

Anti-fog solutions just don't work in cold weather for me. I think 55ÂºF is the threshold.

11:17 am

dauber

(BTW, confession...sometimes I just plain *forget* to remove my mask when I'm in the car. :) )

11:19 am

dauber

And I call FOUL on Linux not being in the dictionary!! Booooo!

11:19 am

MollyL

Oh not me. I rip those things off as soon as I exit a store. I hate wearing them.

11:21 am

MollyL

Some of the articles about people who wear masks while driving are pretty funny. Pictures of giant, mutant COVid molecules rolling down the streets.
: D

11:21 am

hokie carla

is linux not a proper noun?

11:22 am

dauber

Yeah, but the fact is...I'm a big effing nerd and think it should be accepted. 8)

11:23 am

bichon

ty TO

11:25 am

bichon

orgie

11:25 am

hokie carla

well, no proper nouns are accepted, whether nerds want them or not. :D

11:25 am

bichon

sorry, not a word

11:25 am

hokie carla

so close, bichon

11:26 am

moolingwa

34 to go

11:26 am

MollyL

I think people have just started making up their own COVID rules. "The Center for Disease Control and Prevention does not recommend people wear face coverings while driving."

11:27 am

dauber

To be honest, I don't really follow the "I don't want to keep touching my mask" logic for those who keep it on while driving. Given that masks are usually nonporous surfaces, the virus likely won't survive on those things.

11:27 am

dauber

(Having said that, if I'm in an Uber, I want my driver to keep it on!)

11:30 am

jbp

hi, all

11:30 am

jbp

are all 3 u words un-?

11:30 am

dauber

Yep!

11:30 am

moolingwa

yes

11:31 am

MollyL

I don't wonder about people in the car with other people wearing masks. I wonder about people driving alone wearing masks. Someone here said something about cross contamination and that is when I realized that people were just making up their own COVID rules.

11:31 am

jbp

unlaces, unrent I have. what am I missing?

11:31 am

Kaplan the Magne

only two ethnic slurs in this grid. Yay enable.

11:31 am

bichon

Finally, I'm getting my vaccine on March 10

11:32 am

jbp

good for you, bichon!

11:32 am

dauber

Awesome! Still a ways away, but at least you have a date.

11:32 am

Wendrie

evening all - I'm booked for the first vaccine for Friday.

11:33 am

dauber

I was lucky enough to get the first shot recently. My wife is 1B, and while we were there, she said, "Can you take care of my husband too?" They had a lot of cancellations, and given the short shelf life, they'd rather they use it than let it go to waste because of no-shows.

11:33 am

bichon

My daughter found it for me. I't not in my town, but, about 45 minutes from me.

11:33 am

Wendrie

yes - I have a couple of friends who have ended up getting a 'spare' shot

11:33 am

rururocks

i thought you said your wife was 18 :D

11:33 am

Kaplan the Magne

I think I have to wait till April.

11:34 am

Kaplan the Magne

no

11:34 am

Kaplan the Magne

go

11:34 am

Kaplan the Magne

groan

11:34 am

dauber

Well, FWIW, 16 is the age of consent here. :)

11:34 am

Kaplan the Magne

sorry

11:34 am

rururocks

wow where's that Arkansas?

11:34 am

MollyL

I thought it was 18 too Ru. I was like, whoa

11:34 am

dauber

OOps, 17.

11:35 am

rururocks

oopsie

11:35 am

MollyL

Tell that to the father of a 16 year old girl. And pray he doesn't have a shotgunh

11:36 am

jbp

now now, no casting aspersions on Uncle Daddy

11:36 am

Wendrie

In the UK it is 16 with parental consent in England, Wales and N Ireland, in Scotland you can get married without the consent. Once you're 18 you can get married without consent in the other three countries.

11:36 am

dauber

But no, my wife is older than 18. :) She's categorized as one-bee. :)

11:37 am

rururocks

16 is just too creepy

11:37 am

dauber

I'm technically one-cee.

11:37 am

dauber

(I would have said "1C" but at quick glance that looks like "10".)

11:37 am

MollyL

16 with parental consent is even creepier

11:38 am

Kaplan the Magne

You can get married at 16? Can you get an abortion?

11:38 am

Wendrie

yep. It's weird, you can leave school, have sex, get married, join the armed forces but not buy cigarettes, alcohol or vote.

11:38 am

MollyL

And for the record, consent refers to sexual relations, not marriage.

11:38 am

Kaplan the Magne

Or have an abortion?

11:38 am

rururocks

well I consented to everything as a teenager

11:39 am

Kaplan the Magne

etic

11:39 am

dauber

I cannot have an abortion. For a myriad of reasons.

11:39 am

Kaplan the Magne

Ow I am sorry again

11:39 am

dauber

That I'm a guy is at least in the top 5.

11:39 am

Kaplan the Magne

shouldn't chat and play

11:39 am

jbp

ruru, I think I might have *dated* you as a teenager. Or maybe been you

11:39 am

dauber

Hey, Kap, how about you accidentally chat the L word I'm missing? 8D

11:39 am

Kaplan the Magne

Personal choice?

11:40 am

Kaplan the Magne

Because I'm evil

11:40 am

Wendrie

Molly - the consent is legally for the marriage. Once you've turned 16 you can consent to sex yourself.

11:40 am

rururocks

:D Jp

11:40 am

Wendrie

Yes, if you are sixteen you can have an abortion, well in England, Scotland and Wales, not N Ireland

11:41 am

rururocks

I can't comment on Northern Ireland lest I be called a racist

11:42 am

jbp

no matter how many times I type them, neither sceptic nor septic are in the grid

11:42 am

rururocks

well you are onto something there jb

11:42 am

dauber

Try accenting the e!

11:43 am

jbp

scratches head

11:43 am

rururocks

drop the t in one of them

11:44 am

jbp

oh, that one I got.

11:44 am

jbp

still looking for the 3rd U tho

11:44 am

dauber

I didn't. Thanks, ru!

11:44 am

dauber

The third u has a common root, but one that you usually don't think of having that prefix.

11:45 am

jbp

stats on it?

11:45 am

jbp

nm, got it'

11:45 am

jbp

just had to un-present tense it

11:48 am

dauber

Finally cleared out the Ls with a l7/36!

11:48 am

hokie carla

I recently did "find your group" website for NC. I am group 4 and they are currently on 2.

11:54 am

jbp

looking for a clue for the au 8

11:54 am

hokie carla

my clue is it's a plural

11:54 am

dauber

jbp - that one is just plain weird...

11:54 am

hokie carla

I looked up the 7, never seen it before

11:55 am

dauber

The best clue I saw is that there's a pluralized et/4 at the end of it.

11:55 am

hokie carla

like a jack or cord to plug your phone or something in (short version) + what dauber said

11:56 am

MollyL

"The age of consent is the age at which a person is considered to be legally competent to consent to sexual acts."

11:56 am

jbp

thanks to all, especially Carla

11:56 am

jbp

that is an odd one

11:56 am

cybernan

good morning everyone :-)

11:56 am

Wendrie

Molly - yes, but with reference to marriage, the law in the UK says at 16 with parental consent.

11:57 am

Wendrie

Hi Nan

12:00 pm

BzznBea

Finally some quiet time...

12:00 pm

Wendrie

off to make pancakes. It's 'Pancake Day' here in the UK - otherwise known as Shrove Tuesday ;)

12:01 pm

Wendrie

bbl

12:01 pm

jbp

53 left and I'm off to do kitchen things. hope to bbl

12:01 pm

dauber

I wanted pancakes today. Can't make them at home because the smell of cooking pancakes makes the wife ill, can't go get 'em because our alley is jammed with snow, and they're not delivering today because of snow. :(

12:03 pm

BzznBea

One of the cities in my home state always competed with a city in England in a pancake flipping race. Always fun!

12:05 pm

hokie carla

interesting, dauber. I like pancake smell but the smell of pancake syrup makes me ill.

12:07 pm

hokie carla

wondering if wendrie makes them from scratch or if they have a good GF mix in UK. not a lot of good ones here.

12:08 pm

BzznBea

No indiginous housing today?

12:08 pm

BzznBea

Do you make them gf grom scratch, Carla?

I met a woman in the store the otherday looking for Rogers corn syrup to send to her son in Quebec because he couldn't get it there --- only maple syrup in Quebec of course. Found it hard to believe anyone would prefer corn syrup to pure maple syrup, but that's ife!

12:09 pm

hokie carla

I just don't make them a lot, use a mix when I do.

12:10 pm

BzznBea

Maybe he wanted it for candy making?

12:10 pm

hokie carla

Trader Joe's has some really delish frozen GF silver dollar pancakes

12:10 pm

cybernan

Why use a mix when pancakes are so easy to make from scratch?

12:10 pm

MollyL

Does everyone know that the smell of maple syrup makes Carla gag? If you don't, you should by now.

12:11 pm

cybernan

Guess I didn't!

12:11 pm

hokie carla

have def. mentioned it a time or two.

12:11 pm

hokie carla

do you remember the other 2 things, molly?

12:11 pm

cybernan

Guess you don't like maple cookies or maple sugar candies either!

12:12 pm

hokie carla

nope

12:39 pm

Wendrie

Carla - just made these https://bojongourmet.com/plows-ricotta\n-pancakes/

12:41 pm

I can get gf mixes here - either for British pancakes (crepes) from any grocery store, or the fatter drop pancakes from Costco.

12:46 pm

Wendrie

back to dinner :)

12:56 pm

hokie carla

I've been making flatbread using this pancake/baking mix by Pamela's and only adding plain yogurt. those are really good.

12:58 pm

clue for the ic5pls?

The IC5 sounds like something you'd say when you found a small round bug on your dog

1:17 pm

joym999

any clues for the LE 7? Is it a weird word?

1:18 pm

cybernan

Easy Pancakes recipe in profile. These are scottish style cakes.

1:21 pm

MLFAN17

hmm

1:22 pm

MollyL

I can't stress this enough. Bluttermilk is what MAKES pancakes.

1:22 pm

MollyL

*Buttermilk

1:23 pm

MLFAN17

lol ty joy

1:24 pm

MLFAN17

sorry joy i dont have it

1:24 pm

cybernan

doesn't that depend on whether you are making pancakes or flapjacks molly?

1:25 pm

MLFAN17

i thought they were the same thing?

1:25 pm

cybernan

not at all mlf

1:25 pm

cybernan

flapjacks are larger and thinner

1:26 pm

MLFAN17

i thought flapjacks was an old term

1:26 pm

MLFAN17

for pancakes

1:27 pm

cybernan

if you look at the recipe I posted, they are quite different -- at least mine are a lot different from any flapjacks I've been served in the states.

1:29 pm

MLFAN17

i saw your recipe hubby cant make pancakes to save his you know what but i think thats because it should have buttermilk in them and they dont. The mixes he try to make from pancakes i think requires it

1:30 pm

cybernan

wouldn't know --- have never used a mix

1:30 pm

MLFAN17

they come out very flat and not that flavorful. i have never personally made them before

1:31 pm

cybernan

these have a lot of flavour (the butter I think is what does it) and they are about 1/2" thick, light and fluffy

1:31 pm

MollyL

No difference between flapjacks and pancakes.Same recipe it is just what you call them. Some people call them hotcakes.

1:31 pm

MLFAN17

if the package says buttermilk pancakes .. that SHOULD be a clue but we dont use buttermilk generally speaking so i think he used water or milk

1:31 pm

MLFAN17

thats true molly

1:33 pm

cybernan

I'm don't know about the ones you make molly, but any flapjacks I've been served in the states are large, thin, a little on the chewy side and have little flavour --- more like bread

1:33 pm

MollyL

You don't need to make pancakes from a mix. All they are is flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, an egg, some oil and buttermilk. An electric griddle that you can set the temperature on is the best way to cook them.

1:34 pm

cybernan

and there is the difference right there --- oil and buttermilk instead of butter and milk!

1:35 pm

MLFAN17

u gave heard that and seen the made before. we just had the mix and needed to make them before they went bad

1:35 pm

MLFAN17

i have heard

1:35 pm

MLFAN17

sorry

1:35 pm

MollyL

In the US, flapjacks and pancakes are the same thing

1:36 pm

cybernan

yes -- that is why I never order them in the states

1:36 pm

MollyL

Again, also called hotcakes and griddlecakes. Depends on where you are.

1:36 pm

Uneaixoise

Le7 please?

1:36 pm

cybernan

don't have it une

1:36 pm

MollyL

Well then I guess we all need to go to Canada to get decent pancakes.

1:37 pm

MLFAN17

i have the le6 but i though tthe 7 goes with it?

1:37 pm

MLFAN17

lol molly

1:37 pm

cybernan

not sure you will get anything different in a restaurant, molly --- most of fast food restaurants are USA franchises

1:38 pm

MLFAN17

une do you have the le6?

1:39 pm

MollyL

Une, le7 sounds like the bay of song in Jamacia

1:40 pm

MLFAN17

i used morewords to get the le7

1:40 pm

MLFAN17

it ends in the opposite of stop

1:41 pm

I'm stuck on two Rs. :/

Oops, not any more. :)

1:52 pm

And the word Dauber is talking about normally starts with a V

1:52 pm

cinema, theater, night club -- none of those are close

1:53 pm

cybernan

a v? absolutely no idea

1:55 pm

Start with the number after nine.

1:59 pm

Was just reading through log for clues and feel the need to defend wearing my mask in the car. I HATE masks that have ear loops. They fall off my ears. I must have a narrow face

4:01 pm

REG

So I use the tie kind. MUCH MUCH easier to leave it on between nearby stops in my car. And no big deal. Why the gratuitous mention and laughter.

4:05 pm

Retired PJs

I hear ya, REG. One particular person here will scoff at it no matter what reasons are given. You do you!

tx, I decided to resize the pic

5:29 pm

rururocks

I see both sides of the mask thing in the car.. I think if you're running from stop to stop it's best to just keep it on. But if you're driving longer distance ... maybe not.. I can't wait to take mine off either once i'm safe in my car. Both make sense to me.

5:30 pm

HarryHood

I find myself yawning in class and covering my mouth even though I'm wearing a mask. silly.

5:30 pm

moolingwa

Personally, I don't see why it matters whether someone chooses to wear a mask in a car...it matters none to me :)

There are mask straps that attach with snaps to the ear loops of your masks and then go over the back of the head. My husband likes them because earloops can pull out his hearing aids! Tom Bihn is one company that makes them--and they work with all earloop masks.

was just laughing at myself in the shower when I realized the skin issue I was referring to earlier is impe*, not infant. no idea where that came from in my mind. hopefully molly already corrected it.

9:18 pm

shower is a place than can be mind-clearing for some reason.

9:22 pm

hokie carla

yep

9:53 pm

dcseain

Tonoight, i'm repackaging a tube i sealed and addressed in i thin 1988 for a friend in Spain. Tomorrow, i will post it to her as i intended to do all those years ago. I don't recall what is in it, other than something paper.

9:56 pm

hokie carla

Wow

9:57 pm

I recently found some thank you cards that my now 20 yo son wrote to relatives for birthday presents when he was like 10 and I never mailed them.

heh.

9:58 pm

dcseain

these things happen apparently. :)

10:15 pm

dcseain

oh, hm. i'll need to fill a customs declaration. hm.

10:16 pm

grannyrose

hey Seain. just declare it as paperwork.....loll

10:17 pm

dcseain

I'm certain there is a letter in there. And that it's a gift.

10:17 pm

dcseain

i wonder what value to declare.

10:17 pm

grannyrose

or better still toilet paper....

10:18 pm

grannyrose

if toilet paper, weigh it, and put it's worth in gold....loll

10:19 pm

grannyrose

i know, i know. i'm weird, right.

10:19 pm

dcseain

it might be a poster from that era.

10:20 pm

grannyrose

ooohhh, an antique.....now that might be interesting...

10:20 pm

dcseain

and i don't want to open the thing i wrapped to see at this point.

10:21 pm

grannyrose

don't you know anyone with access to a fibre optic. only need very small hole then.

10:22 pm

dcseain

well, it's roolled whatever it be.

10:22 pm

grannyrose

just let me know when i start to be helpful. then i'll stop.

10:24 pm

grannyrose

if it's roolled it might be a poster of a kangaroo.

10:26 pm

grannyrose

go on, give in. open the wretched thing. just one end, and have a peek. you can always reseal it afterwards.

10:26 pm

dcseain

doubtful, as i lived in the Washiton, DC suburbs. But not impossible.

10:29 pm

dcseain

I remember when she was in New York City in 1990. And i had to explain how far away Niagara Falls and the Grand Canyon are from NYC. (8h by bus to the former and 5h by plane, plus ground travel, to the other)

10:29 pm

dcseain

Europeans always fail to understand the scale of this country.

10:30 pm

grannyrose

if you could only see how much i am laughing. oh i hear brother you Seain. people fail to understand the scale of this country too.

10:31 pm

grannyrose

i have a pic of Australia with the whole of Europe and the UK within our borders. would be the same for you too.

10:31 pm

dcseain

indeed! Canad has that issue, too.

10:33 pm

dcseain

Yeah, i just looked up Netherlands, and learnt it's roughly the size of New Jersey.

10:34 pm

grannyrose

Don and i used to laugh like crazy when we were over there. (europe i mean ). people were amazed at how far we travelled per day. to us it was like driving around the corner and down the road for a bit.of course, a bit could be 20 feet or three miles to us

10:35 pm

grannyrose

i know right. when i was visiting with Sprite she was so sure i was going to exhaust myself with all the driving we did. i mean a few hours and we were just about through to the border with Belgium.

10:35 pm

dcseain

I watched a youtuber drive from London to Edinburgh, and was laughing at how long a drive he perceived it to be (Roughly where i live to NYC, maybe 5h)

10:37 pm

grannyrose

i know. absolutely crazy. Don and i drove straight up the M1, with stops for touristy stuff, and were in scotland, inverness to be exact within 8 hours.

10:37 pm

dcseain

I rode the trains to visit with MonkeyGames, and really most of the country while i was there last Spring.

10:38 pm

dcseain

Oh, nice. That's good to know.

10:38 pm

grannyrose

good way to get around Seain. they have an incredible public transport system.

10:38 pm

dcseain

They do, indeed!

10:39 pm

dcseain

The Rotterdam subway goes to The Hague. :)

10:40 pm

grannyrose

oh, and the Netherlands and their freeway system. just amazing. only time your speed dropped below fast was when you were transferring from one freeway to the next.

10:42 pm

dcseain

Nice. I was on trains the whole time. Aside from entering and leaving at Schiphol.

10:44 pm

grannyrose

GPS only lost us the once there. we ended up in the middle of a new housing estate. and i the UK it was such a help. in france it tried to get us to drive down an ever-narrowing footpath to reach a certain restaurant. was so funny. sprite in front seat beside Don " er, Don? we appear to have 1/2 an inch on this side of the path"

10:44 pm

dcseain

LOL

10:46 pm

grannyrose

ahhh, Schipol. has to be my all time favourite airport thus far. i hope i can become strong enough to travel again after cv-109. i want to sail over to USA and see all your glorious places for myself.

10:46 pm

dcseain

If you do, i'd he happy to show you things in DC and/or the NE.

10:49 pm

dcseain

I live near KIAD and KDCA

10:53 pm

grannyrose

thank-you so kindly for the offer Seain. i think that may help with our decision where to go first.

10:54 pm

AtlKru

ive been to schipol

10:54 pm

dcseain

KIAD has international flights, KDCA is domestic or Canada only.

10:55 pm

dcseain

customs at Schipol was lovely. The customs officer looked at me like i was crazy to want to travel from Rotterdam to Haarlem to visit people. LOL

10:55 pm

dcseain

and flying out, i got scolded for having a flashlight in my carry on. Which wasn't mentioned leaving the US.

10:55 pm

grannyrose

and you came home, AtlKru? willingly? i certainly didn't want to leave. the netherlands i mean.

10:56 pm

dcseain

Yeah, Netherlands was lovely.

10:56 pm

AtlKru

i spent a month in belgium and nederlands. i almost didnt come home

10:58 pm

grannyrose

Seain, i had sent Sprite, as part of a package, a child's hot pink tutu. i was so worried i would not know her. when we rounded the corner from customs, there was this gorgeous dutch lady standing there, with a hot pink tutu around her neck. i fell crazy in love with my soul sister there and then.

we went across the US in our motorhome on a 7 week trip in 2014. I don't think I realized the scale of this country until then, and also just how culturally different it is all over.

11:03 pm

AtlKru

extended trips are the best

11:03 pm

dcseain

yeah, the culture varies so much. There are a few regions whose cultures i don't like, or maybe just don't understand.

11:03 pm

hokie carla

DH had some relatives visit hid family from Sweden years ago, and the young man thought we could see Lake Superior, the Grand Canyon, NYC, Epcot, and San Francisco all in 1 week.

11:11 pm

Which at that time included all of Northern VA plus Fauquier County.

11:12 pm

hokie carla

11:12 pm

dcseain

LOL, yes NEF that's so like Europeans on average visiting here.

11:13 pm

Nef

And he thought we could drive all that way in 1 week.

11:13 pm

dcseain

Here in DC, we need to explain that each museum is a full day. So they need pick and choose.

11:14 pm

Uneaixoise

Fw!!

11:14 pm

dcseain

11:14 pm

I was grown before I knew the Smithsonian was a bunch of different museums

11:14 pm

hokie carla

well done, une!

11:14 pm

dcseain

the Smithsonian includes the National Zoo, as well as the Whitney-Cooper Design museum in NYC

11:14 pm

Nef

YAY, UNEA!!! WTG!!!

11:16 pm

dcseain

or is it the Cooper-Hewitt. hm.

11:17 pm

Nef

I took my family to DC back in the early 90â€™s while I was there for a nursingconvention. I told them to go to the Smithsonian while I was attending the convention that week. I donâ€™t think they made it through all of the different museums that week.

11:18 pm

hokie carla

my kids went there on 8th grade trips

11:19 pm

dcseain

Cooper-Hewitt. in Nyc, and a branch of the American Indian museum n NYC

11:19 pm

hokie carla

11:19 pm

dcseain

There's also the National Gallery of Art (two buildings) on the mall that are notpart of the Smithsonian.

11:28 pm

Nef

I had to get my NBT in because Iâ€™d just got here when I said good evening)

11:30 pm

Nef

I would like to go to DC and go throughAll the museums there. Iâ€™ve never been through most of them (I was always there for nursing business meetings (ANA); & I never skipped out to sightsee.

11:31 pm

hokie carla

I'm going to guess 249 for new grid

11:31 pm

Nef

Iâ€™ll agree with you hokie.

11:35 pm

dcseain

Sigh. Snow again due on Thursday.

11:36 pm

hokie carla

we have a winter storm watch or warning, i don't recall

11:36 pm

dcseain

hopefully snow, not ice again on Thursday.

11:37 pm

hokie carla

watch

11:37 pm

dcseain

oh, snow tomorrow AND Thursday.

11:37 pm

dcseain

ah, i had wrong day up in app. Just Thursday. whew.

11:38 pm

Nef

Weâ€™re suppose to get above zero tomorrow or Thursday. The temp here has been below zero (F) for over 281 hours, a record for the Twin Cities.

11:38 pm

dcseain

eeep. may you get up to a least freezing.

11:38 pm

hokie carla

looks like 37 and rain again, not sure why that's a winter storm watch since that's pretty much all that's happened in the last few weeks and there wasn't a watch before.

11:38 pm

dcseain

friends in Texas are having it bad.

11:39 pm

hokie carla

yep

11:39 pm

Nef

I feel sorry for our poor TX friends who arenâ€™t used to cold & donâ€™t have power.

11:40 pm

dcseain

Maybe THIS time the Texas Grid operator will winterize their system.

11:40 pm

hokie carla

they probably don't have winter coats (just going by my in-laws in N. FL)

11:41 pm

dcseain

My friends there do have Winter coats, though most don't have power.

11:41 pm

Nef

Wouldnâ€™t that be nice? I was told that part of the reason was their wind farms were frozen, & I said ours never freeze here!

11:43 pm

dcseain

This is the third time since 1989 their grid has failed due to cold.

11:43 pm

Nef

Our friends have winter coats & wear them when their temp drops to 40 degrees (F). Their house was 45 degrees inside last night!

11:43 pm

dcseain

this doesn't happen in OK, AR, LA, NM, AL, MS, GA, nor even FL!

11:44 pm

dcseain

a friend in San Antonio went to stay with friends with power after her apartment fell to 42 and stayed there.

11:45 pm

Nef

They also have a shortage of natural gas! I think OK is having some problems too, sean.

11:45 pm

Nef

Sorry, Seain

11:52 pm

dcseain

huh. Friend in Chicago says they got 22.9in snow on top of 20 already on the ground.

11:59 pm

Nef

We donâ€™t have that much snow.
