Shirlockc
morning all, how many of you tried to finish every day? i used to but now, it's only if i'm close
7:44 am
mattygroves
It's part of a 6/8/7 combo
7:44 am
mattygroves
I'm stilling missing the cr7 that isn't part of that group though
7:44 am
BzznBea
Hi shirl.
7:45 am
mattygroves
I used to insist on finishing if I started - I don't anymore - it became too much like a job, if that makes sense and less like fun
7:45 am
hokie carla
I try to, shirl, but years ago I was obsessed with it and had to. I can not do it now.
7:45 am
hokie carla
exactly like matty sid
7:45 am
Shirlockc
i'm with you all, when it becomes too much like a chore, i stop
7:45 am
BzznBea
It depends on what is going on im ny world as to whether I finish.
7:46 am
dan2bit
today's is too large for me to finish on a work day
7:47 am

Can anyone give me a nudge on the other CR7, please?

7:49 am
MollyL
I don't have time to finish these grids anymore. Back in the day, when I had jobs that were slower, I would finish every day. Now I just play when I can and enjoy that more than finishing every day.
7:49 am
mattygroves
That one I have, if it's to do with debt
7:49 am
lynxxx
I think you will be looking for ch7.36 then
7:50 am

Good morning, all. Ah, minty fresh. Altoids in the grid.

LOL! Grandson is playing a video game. It keeps saying to "Watch out! A tornado is coming!" I told him that was the cue for all of us midwesterners to run outside and look.

Hi Judi. How's life in lower, slower?
8:03 am
Shirlockc
stats for the Y so i can do nbt?
8:04 am
Judi
I wouldn't know, Molls. We live in the northern-most county. Only the two lower counties are considered "slower lower". Otherwise, life is all good.
8:05 am
Judi
Slower lower is anything below the C&D Canal.
8:05 am
MollyL
Ah good for you. My parents lived in slower lower so I am used to thinking of the whole state that way.
8:05 am
rururocks
hi jude
8:05 am
MollyL
Hey Jude (but not ho Jude)
8:06 am
Judi
I find that Delaware is usually a "overlook" state. It tends to get overlooked - like on the weather channel they just refer to our area as the Delmarva peninsula.
8:07 am
Judi
Good morning, Ru.
8:07 am
mattygroves
No sales tax though, so it has that going for it!
8:07 am
mattygroves
It used to have cheap cigarettes too, but I suspect my info is outdated
8:07 am
Judi
Yes. We like our no sales tax.
8:09 am
Judi
It's not that we get a bad rap. We just get no rap.

Rep, rather.

Why would you take your bird feeder down because birds are dying? They are not dying from bird seed.
12:16 pm
bichon
Ill birds come to the feeder and leave trace of the illness
12:17 pm

Oh so its COVID for birds now? Are they going to have to wear little bird masks?
12:18 pm

It made us so happy to see all the birds coming to our feeder

If there was a big enough market for it I'd be tempted to fund the opening of a lobster pound
12:50 pm
penquis
interesting...a young guy from southern Maine was working on Wall Street and was amazed that one couldn't get a real lobster roll in NYC....so he started one...now he has maybe a dozen places around the country....
12:51 pm

should have said he started a lobster stand of some sort...

big difference in lobster prices between b.c. and alberta - here, live lobsters <2 lbs is about $21/pound

2:55 pm
72 Temple Owl

2:56 pm
72 Temple Owl

2:56 pm
welki

2:58 pm
cybernan
we are about 5 hours from the Alberta border on a good day, TO
2:59 pm
welki
we went to boston for a seafood dinner - 5 hours is a walk in the park :D
3:00 pm
welki
(i know you can't travel, that your circumstances wouldn't allow it, even without COVID)
3:01 pm
cybernan
That's 5 hours to Lake Louise -- hate to think what a lobster dinner would cost there -- or in Banff
3:02 pm
welki
yeah, but everything tastes better in the mountains (if you can't be by the sea)
3:03 pm
welki
looks like thunderclouds moving in - figures, i have a tee time at 5:10

3:08 pm
welki
it's dry here, too - had a little shower last night, but not enough to perk up the grass. and water is at a premium, so watering is cut back
3:09 pm
welki
the fields are tan, with the exception of the odd corn or canola field
3:09 pm
welki

3:41 pm
hokie carla

3:41 pm
cybernan
*wonder what a psychiatrist would mae of that? (maybe I don't want to know)
3:42 pm
cybernan
lol - yes I am left handed
3:43 pm
LuvWordGames
are you more creative too nan? That's what I've seen with left-handed people
3:43 pm
hokie carla
there you go
3:43 pm
hokie carla
but mr. homie is not creative
3:44 pm
LuvWordGames
oh well guess as most generalizations they don't fit everyone
3:44 pm
hokie carla

3:44 pm
cybernan
definitely. Played the violin, piano then organ for years and dabbled in all sorts of crafts. Love to sew and took up pottery which turned into a business for 12 years.
3:44 pm

3:45 pm

I don't know, peri, he's been gone about 2 weeks.
3:45 pm

3:48 pm
cybernan
bungee jump?
3:48 pm
LuvWordGames
what? Into the water or attached to a bungee?
3:49 pm
hokie carla

3:49 pm
LuvWordGames
now way would I be able to do that!
3:50 pm
cybernan
me neither
3:50 pm

5:38 pm

in grad school we thought "maniacal phlebotomists" would be a good name for a band
5:38 pm
mkg
OK GOT THE PLURAL. TY.
5:38 pm
mkg
How silly for me to miss it. Sorry all.
5:39 pm
mkg
So that does not mean going up. It is a noun.
5:39 pm
MollyL
Donating blood is great. Good for you.
5:39 pm
mkg
It means being called to the torah. Ty.
5:39 pm
HarryHood
that is incorrect. it is a noun which is the conjugation of a verb meaning to rise.
5:40 pm
mkg
I welcome any other words especially hebrew ones. Ty.
5:40 pm
ItalianGreyhound
which word are we talking about?
5:40 pm
