8:48 am

rururocks

ding ding ding

8:49 am

hurshy

i think i saw an article about her show not being renewed because she always urges "be kind" and then her staff say she treats them horribly. which is too bad, because it is an excellent message if not accompanied by hypocrisy.

8:50 am

rururocks

she's supposedly a very mean person

8:55 am

hurshy

we need more people like Fred Rogers

8:55 am

MollyL

Wow, I'

8:55 am

My phantom is a rude word. BU 8 haha!

9:14 am

hokie carla

lol

9:15 am

dauber

Yeah, I tried that word too.

9:15 am

hurshy

well the B is kind of hard

9:15 am

dauber

I'm missing a bu7!

9:15 am

welki

how's the pup, dauber?

9:15 am

hokie carla

need 8 B's

9:15 am

dauber

She's doing very well! No surgery! She just needs to rest in a crate for a couple of weeks.

9:15 am

dauber

Thanks for asking!

9:16 am

hokie carla

i have 3 BU7s

9:16 am

zoozzoom

It is more of the animal, Daub

9:16 am

hokie carla

that's great, dauber

9:16 am

welki

excellent!! that's good to hear - spoil her rotten :)

9:16 am

dauber

That was gonna be my next question. :)

9:16 am

dauber

She doesn't like being in the crate, but she's been very very good about it.

9:16 am

zoozzoom

I have only just started though.

9:16 am

hokie carla

49 left here

9:17 am

welki

don't feel guilted by those mournful eyes - she has no idea how long she's been there, no wristwatch :D

9:17 am

dauber

AH!! GOT IT!!! Weird word though.

9:18 am

zoozzoom

Just got one that when people are horrible to another person.

9:18 am

hokie carla

I assumed it describes the stock market

9:18 am

dauber

She's been curled up napping. We put her favorite blanket in the crate, and she's nearby. Thankfully I'm working from home for the foreseeable future, if not permanently, so someone will always be with her.

9:18 am

rururocks

did they prescribe anti inflamatories dauber

9:18 am

dauber

Yup.

9:18 am

rururocks

i knew it

9:19 am

dauber

The MRI revealed, as the vet told us, the tiniest rupture she ever saw! She recommended not having surgery but to see if it's just an inflamed nerve that's bothering her.

9:19 am

welki

metacam - nectar of the dog gods

9:19 am

dauber

Lotsa drugs for Lola: a pain killer, an anti-inflammatory, and an anti-anxiety drug! (My wife asked for one of the latter too but they couldn't help her.)

9:19 am

rururocks

i'm happy for you..

9:20 am

welki

(if it's clomicalm, it'll just take enough of the edge off her nerves to keep her settled down, won't make her loopy)

9:21 am

MollyL

Clomicalm, what a name for a pain killer
: D

9:22 am

dauber

Gabapentin for the pain, Prednisone for the anxiety.

9:23 am

rururocks

pred is for the inflammation

9:24 am

dauber

oops

9:24 am

dauber

Hey, it's early. :)

9:25 am

dauber

Drat. The feminine version of a bu6 isn't accepted. :(

9:26 am

hokie carla

I guess I don't have a masculine version of a bu6

9:27 am

dauber

Or maybe a diminutive version of bu6. :)

9:32 am

rururocks

yay.. got all the b's..

9:32 am

9:56 am

hokie carla

9:56 am

hokie carla

au's earlier but didn't go the right direction

9:56 am

mattygroves

I hate doing this for a five, I really do, but there's apparently an LE5/14 from the lower L and I, for the life of me, cannot see how you can possibly make that. Is there any way to give me a vague clue without being blindingly obvious? I swear I should see it from the stats but it is totally invisible to me

9:57 am

hokie carla

hmm, I have one from the upper L

9:57 am

hurshy

me too

9:57 am

mattygroves

Oh, I'm an idiot. I was looking at the wrong L.

9:57 am

mattygroves

Ignore me - carry on

9:58 am

penquis

well your question helped me find an le 5/20, but it was from the top L....

9:58 am

hurshy

second row, i think you mean

9:59 am

hokie carla

yeah, I have a 5/20 from the 2nd row

9:59 am

penquis

yes, sorry....didn't see the corner L...

9:59 am

mattygroves

It's all good. I was being thick as a brick. Sorry 'bout that! I'd completely missed the existence of the corner L

9:59 am

penquis

it's a dumb word....

9:59 am

hokie carla

I still need 1 L from all three L tiles

9:59 am

hurshy

poor corner L, everyone failing to see it

10:01 am

penquis

being in the corner of the grid is like being punished... ;o)

10:02 am

MollyL

*Red-headed people begin to gather and schedule protests against that phrase

1:28 pm

Trifioso

i AM a red-headed step child, and I find that phrase hilarious. Have used it often

1:37 pm

saanichcat

OK, I don't get the red-headed stepchild phrase, please put me out of my ignorance!

1:41 pm

Trifioso

I heard it as "About as welcome as the red-headed stepchild at a family reunion"

1:42 pm

saanichcat

thanks, but what do the corner letters have to do with it?

cherlyq

got a red headed brother he used to but then he got bigger than most of the other kids in his class

1:50 pm

saanichcat

probably goes way back to children of unknown parentage, taken in by relatives, who were mean to the poor kid

1:51 pm

saanichcat

that is just a GUESS

1:52 pm

rururocks

i really don't know.. i've heard the phrase a lot though

1:54 pm

MollyL

My friend Google says.."Red hair is rare. If a child is the only member of the family with red hair, it might raise suspicions that the husband is not the biological father. That would be the case if he or she really was a stepchild, from the motherâ€™s first marriage. But â€œstepchildâ€ could also be a euphemism for â€œbastardâ€ in this instance. "

1:54 pm

saanichcat

Thank you Molly!

1:55 pm

rururocks

Do milk men generally have red hair or Plumbers?

a vacuum tube containing four electrodes, usually a plate, two grids, and a cathode...you get the definition if you click on the ? next to the word

4:56 pm

I've worked in the energy industry for 25 years and I've never heard of that TE7

5:01 pm

MollyL

Does your job involve this? "Tetrodes were widely used in many consumer electronic devices such as radios, televisions, and audio systems until transistors replaced valves in the 1960s and 70s. Beam tetrodes have remained in use until quite recently in power applications such as audio amplifiers and radio transmitters."

Hi, Molly

Just jumped in, saw the suggestion about bread for the ducks - it's my understanding that bread is very unhealthy for ducks and geese. You might want to google that, as I'm certainly not a duck/goose expert!
