I have the 9, but not the 11. It's not a place to aim for. (That's a hint)
5:48 am
mkg
Thinking of places. Like hospitals etc.
5:48 am
ChampFit
Oooh...gotcha. thx!
5:48 am

I'm not sure why I am so charged.
7:46 am
hokie carla
isn't johnson's baby shampoo nontear? I guess they call it no tears. whatevs.
7:59 am
MollyL
No More Tears formula
7:59 am
hokie carla
whatevs 🤣
7:59 am
hokie carla
the No More Tears formula is a nontear shampoo
8:00 am
MollyL
Carla, do you talk that way, or just write on the internet that way?
8:01 am
hokie carla
I have been known to say whatevs in real life, yes. but probably not the other stuff you object to.
8:01 am
BzznBea
She has young men. I'm sure she talks that way.
8:02 am
MollyL
My kids would always roll their eyes and say "please don't ever say that again" if I tried to use their slang.
8:02 am
hokie carla
I think my kids don't say whatevs.
8:03 am
BzznBea
My master degreed daughter says "fir" instead of "for". I call her on it every time!
8:04 am
hokie carla
my youngest says things that don't even make sense. I can't think of any examples right now.
8:04 am

speaking in a variety of dialects is just fun
8:05 am
hokie carla
I've noticed a few podcasters I listen to say fo-word. what's up with that? where'd the R go?
8:05 am
BzznBea
Carla, how many quilts did you get completed before you packed up?
8:06 am
hokie carla
I think maybe 5, bea. I fell behind a couple of months before I started packing. guess it will have to wait now.
8:07 am
BzznBea
How many do you have left to finish?
8:08 am
hokie carla
I think there were 10 total. plus quite a few blocks for another. what's the little bonnet girl called?
8:08 am
hurshy
how can there be three more Ws???
8:08 am
hokie carla
I also need 3 more w's
8:09 am
BzznBea
I know which three they are...

8:10 am
MollyL
There is a scene between Leslie Odam Jr. and Christian Borle in SMASH where Borle tries to pull off "oh no she diden" and Odam Jr says (with a deadpan face) "please don't ever do that again".
8:10 am
BzznBea
Sunbonnet Sue.
8:11 am
MollyL
Sorry, Odom Jr.
8:11 am
hokie carla
that was the show with Katharine McPhee? I loved that show and was sad when it was canceled.
8:11 am
BzznBea
My mom loves that block and did 10 or 12 quilts with her in it.
8:12 am
MollyL
I liked it, although I am not a fan of McPhee and it was a total showcase for her
8:12 am
hokie carla
I think there's some of the boy too. what's his name?
8:12 am
BzznBea
Overall Sam.
8:14 am
BzznBea
I've got three quilts I am takiing back to gift. Then another one that my exes great grandma made that I'm giving to my youngest daughter. I also have two small baby doll quilts to take to my youngest granddaughter.
8:14 am
BzznBea
Need to get pics of them and get them bagged today.
8:15 am
hokie carla
I think instead of unpacking my entire sewing room in our temp house I am going to cut all the boys' t-shirts for their t-shirt quilts. I realized when I was moving stuff that that is a lot of extra fabric I'm toting around.
8:15 am
BzznBea
They are monsters.
8:16 am
BzznBea
yw, hurshy.
8:17 am
hokie carla
of course I never found the w7s and 8 😜
8:17 am
BzznBea
After you get the stabilizer on, they are even heavier.
8:17 am
hokie carla
that's true, but at least will be flatter
8:18 am
hokie carla
I just hope I can find my rotary cutter, rulers, and stablizers without opening every single box.
8:18 am
hurshy
i used morewords
8:18 am
BzznBea
What stabilizer do you usually use on quilts?
8:18 am
hokie carla
one of my cutting mats fell between the cab and bed of mr. homie's pickup truck and I can see it in there but can't get it.
8:19 am
hurshy
ooh found a 9
8:20 am
hokie carla
don't rem. the pellon number but it is ultra lightweight fusible or something
8:20 am
BzznBea
My got to is SF101
8:20 am
BzznBea
Think I have an entire bolt of that.
8:21 am
hokie carla
I think PLF36 I used some because I could buy it at walmart. I did get a bolt of something equivalent to that but called something else.
8:24 am
welki
carla - long tongs, try long tongs to get the mat out (or needle nose pliers, the longest pair of tweezers you have....)
8:25 am
hokie carla
yeah, I think I've had the 101 for something but it's a little heavy for the t-shirt quilt. there's a company online that you can send your shirts to and they make the quilt but I bought their book and use their style. anyhoo, they do not use interfacing and will not make a quilt with shirts that have already been. but I decided to use the interfacing.
8:26 am
hokie carla
yeah, welki, I tried to get it over closer with like a metal L shape ruler thingy. not sure I have anything with grabby ability that long.
8:27 am
welki
if it's not that large a cutting mat, maybe a bit of mounting putty on a ruler, or double side tape - my kind of mission :D
8:28 am
hokie carla
glad I could give you something to think about today 😜
8:28 am

i like noosa....
9:37 am
BzznBea
I don't eat it much either. But I can't do a lot of dairy.
9:37 am
hokie carla
I just tried noosa the other day. I thought it was good but I like oui better.
9:38 am
rururocks
noosa I've never heard of either
9:38 am
hokie carla
we usually get the oikos triple zero though, less calories.
9:38 am
MLFAN17
i have been watching tennis too waiting for the womens doubles
9:38 am
hokie carla
noosa is made in CO, ru, so def. not east coast.
9:38 am
MLFAN17
i have not tried fage but i saw it in the grid too
9:39 am
penquis
i don't think i will get doubles to watch....it's low on the totem pole for the broadcasters....
9:39 am
hokie carla
ok, I give up on the we7s and 8 if anyone wants to clue...
9:40 am
BzznBea
I think you have to have espn+ for that.
9:40 am
rururocks
starts like manwolf and ends up in neutered horse hokie
9:41 am
BzznBea
Maybe stats will help you. WE7.56 we7.52 and we8.70
9:41 am
hokie carla
yeah, I prefer watching doubles as that's what I mostly played, but it's hard to find on tv.
9:41 am
penquis
my YouTube TV used to have the tennis channel but it no longer does...
9:41 am

10:10 am

as long as it overrides curling I"m cool with it too

I assume tennis players enjoy watching the game, but to me it is as interesting as watching paint dry
10:35 am
Aloyisius
hi All.. Happy Labor Day
10:36 am
HarryHood
hi aloy!
10:36 am
penquis
i can understand that if you don't play, it could be boring....
10:36 am
cybernan
at least there is some strategy to curling, ru if you would ever bother to learn the intracacies of the game
10:36 am
penquis
hi aloy...
10:37 am
penquis
well, nan, there is a ton of strategy in tennis, too... ;o)
10:39 am
cybernan
I suppose there must be, pen -- just don't see it. I did take tennis lessons once, but could never see the point of running around in the hot sun hitting a ball back and forth until one of us missed.
10:39 am
penquis
it's called sport, nan, lol....
10:39 am
mattygroves
To be fair, any sport sounds ridiculous when you put it like that. My OH is hugely into golf and I don't see the attraction....but he does! It's trying to hit a tiny ball a long way until you get it in a tiny cup...
10:40 am
penquis
true, matty....even the curlers look silly sweeping the ice... ;o)
10:41 am
cybernan
agreed matty - but at least there is a social aspect to golf -- you can visit with your friends while you play
10:41 am
rururocks
and wear hideous clothes too and get away with it
10:41 am
cybernan
urling is mental as well as physical -- a little like chess on ice.
10:41 am
HarryHood
and address the ball: "hello, ball"
10:42 am
mattygroves
Jeff will happily play on his own!
10:42 am
penquis
tennis is quite social, too....and very strategic....
10:42 am
cybernan
sadly, don't have the capability of playing either anymore.
10:42 am
hokie carla
yes, very strategic, esp. doubles
10:42 am

Pen, I heard on NPR today that the price of lobster has skyrocketed. A roll can cost upward of $40.
6:16 pm
penquis
yes, it can....but the last time i had one -- maybe three weeks ago -- I paid under $25.....it came with fries and cole slaw....it has probably gone up since...
6:17 pm
penquis
it also depends on w here you are ordering a lobster roll....when i bought mine, I could have bought one at a seaside restaurant for $40....
6:20 pm

Yes, I think they were right on the coast.
