BzznBea

Nice image, Molly.

9:11 am

sheesh thanks Bea

9:12 am

rururocks

how was your trip bea?

9:13 am

MollyL

She should still be on her trip

9:13 am

BzznBea

It has been an adventure, ru.

9:13 am

periwinkle

where are you Bea?

9:14 am

BzznBea

Yes, we just got to the AB&B last night. Three days in hotels with Mom, two cats and a dog. Now that's fun times.

9:14 am

BzznBea

We are in the midwest, peri.

9:14 am

periwinkle

ok

9:15 am

rururocks

you took the cats with you?

9:15 am

BzznBea

Came back to see family and friends.

9:15 am

BzznBea

We did. Sedadted and crated.

9:16 am

rururocks

didn't you have friends who would take care of them?

9:17 am

BzznBea

We did, but since we were going to be gone three weeks, we thought that would be too long for them to stay at home alone with only someone coming in to feed.

9:18 am

rururocks

wow.. I could never that's mazing

9:18 am

rururocks

amazing even

9:20 am

BzznBea

They did pretty well. Not a peep out of them in the car. We stay at pet friendly hotels and leave a nice tip for the cleaning crews.

9:20 am

BzznBea

I'm the one that doesn't travel well. =)

9:21 am

rururocks

maybe you should travel in a crate :D

9:21 am

BzznBea

I'm sure Mr. Bea has thought of that. LOL!

9:23 am

MollyL

Oh God bless you Bea. An elder and three animals. That does not sound like much "traveling fun".

9:24 am

BzznBea

Two elders, Molly. And neither one can hear. As peri says, "Fun times!"

9:24 am

MollyL

No wonder you all went out and bought a "deluxe mobile"

9:24 am

MollyL

I keep forgetting Mr. Bea robbed the cradle
: D

9:25 am

BzznBea

I can't imagine us doing this trip in any thing smaller. We were packed!

9:27 am

MollyL

I am sure you are glad to have it. Except when you pay for gas.

9:28 am

BzznBea

It actually gets better gas mileage than the Enclave did.

9:29 am

BzznBea

Enclave got 16-17mpg. Burb gets 23-24 mpg.

9:30 am

BzznBea

We did 1300 miles and filled up twice.

9:32 am

MollyL

It would freak me out to pay over $100 for a tank of gas

9:32 am

rururocks

i do it all the time with my suv

9:33 am

MollyL

And that is why we live on "different sides of the tracks"
: D

9:34 am

rururocks

the business pays for it.. most of the time

9:35 am

BzznBea

We have yet to pay over $100 at fill up.

9:36 am

rururocks

just keep driving to california bea.. you'll find it here

9:37 am

BzznBea

We would have had to pay that in IL, but we made sure we didn't fill up there. It's all about the tax.

9:39 am

BzznBea

You pay almost 0.67 per gal out there ru.

9:40 am

rururocks

another reason i'm leaving california eventually

9:41 am

MollyL

I would imagine that once you retire, California loses it's appeal in a big way.

9:42 am

rururocks

exactly

9:42 am

rururocks

unless you're super rich

9:42 am

BzznBea

Our Suburban has the feature that is drops to v-4 when power isn't needed. That helped a lot as we didn't runover 75 mph.

9:43 am

dauber

I thought before that should there come a day when my wife and I can no longer tolerate Chicago winters, maybe we could move to San Diego. Then I looked at rents. Uhh...yeah, no. People say Chicago is expensive. Puh-LEEZ. (Probably the least expensive of all the major cities.)

9:43 am

cybernan

Good morning all -- how would you like to be paying over $6/gal for gas? That's what it costs here.

9:43 am

BzznBea

Well, Mr. Bea didn't. =)

9:43 am

rururocks

San Diego is fairly reasonable as far as California goes

9:44 am

dauber

...which is scary.

9:44 am

rururocks

La and the Bay area are super expensive

9:45 am

dauber

I was actually surprised at how LA isn't quite as expensive as I thought it'd be. Expensive, yeah, but not what I thought it'd be.

9:45 am

dauber

The Bay area is just...murder.

9:45 am

rururocks

it's beyond stupid

9:45 am

BzznBea

Look at NC, dauber. Reasonable and mild winters

9:45 am

Kaplan the Magne

New York and Boston $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

9:46 am

Kaplan the Magne

gorred

9:46 am

Kaplan the Magne

borred

9:46 am

cybernan

lol - one of the reasons snowbird like to go south for the winter --- cheap gas

9:46 am

dauber

I definitely feel gorred when I look at NY rents.

9:46 am

Kaplan the Magne

sorry- not tealwords

9:46 am

dauber

"gorred" is a real word:

9:47 am

MollyL

I have no idea why anyone would want to live in New York City

9:47 am

dauber

(adj.) That feeling in the pit of one's stomach when looking at rents at a major city that's so filthy you wonder why anyone would want to go there in the first place.

9:48 am

Kaplan the Magne

I have a root canal scheduled for 12:30. If the damn dentist had been listed as an essential service I might've got the damn cavity filled before it became theGrand Canyon

9:49 am

dauber

Heh. My mom had cancer thanks to the whole "essential service" thing. (Thankfully surgery got it all>)

9:49 am

Kaplan the Magne

My hair salon was open though. That's more essential than dentistry, right?

9:54 am

rururocks

that's only because of nancy pelosi kaplan :D

9:56 am

cybernan

I think the difference is that you can wear a mask having your hair done. Our dentists are open for essential services only.

9:58 am

rururocks

here in California.. the rules only apply to the regular people, our governor can go out for dinners at restaurants

9:58 am

rururocks

and our speaker (Nancy) can go to shut down hair salons and get her hair done.. and... and...

9:59 am

hokie carla

howdy folks

9:59 am

MollyL

My hair salon is closing at the end of the month. The owner said she hasn't had a profitable month in a year.

10:01 am

rururocks

it's the same out here.. and landlords aren't giving breaks on rent either

10:01 am

Kaplan the Magne

Dentists wear face shields. Hair stylist wear mask and gloves and don't allow sitting and waiting. I've been going as soon as it opened.

10:02 am

hokie carla

landlords have to pay bills too

10:02 am

cybernan

true -- but that doesn't afford anywhere near as much protection as when you are both wearing masks

10:02 am

MollyL

She said her landlord wanted her to sign a 5 year lease, which is ludicrous in times like this.

10:03 am

hokie carla

yeah, that's insane

10:03 am

cybernan

and I'm not convinced that a shield does anything when the patient's face is below your chin and unprotected!

10:03 am

Kaplan the Magne

Not just Nancy Pelosi. Every newscaster, public figure and so on. Anyway, it was a judgement call. But my sense of time was so off that I didn't realize I had such a dentist lapse- I had been to the dentist after I had covid, early on.

10:03 am

hokie carla

my dental hygienist said it was scarier working when AIDS first hit the scene

10:04 am

rururocks

my friend in Calistoga had to close her wine store after she asked for a temporary decrease in rent because customers couldn't come into her store during the covid shutdown. He declined. She closed the store and he said " I didn't really think you meant it".. the store has remained empty since.. so that's not helping the landlord either hokie

10:04 am

Kaplan the Magne

In the time warp that is isolation, I simply didn't realize so much time had gone by- and they didn't remind me

10:04 am

hokie carla

well sounds like he is a bad poker player

10:05 am

MollyL

Commercial real estate is not doing well.

10:05 am

rururocks

he's a dumbshit really holie

10:05 am

rururocks

hokie

10:06 am

MollyL

My office building is almost empty. Only three businesses in a big three-story building. Lots of empty space.

10:07 am

MollyL

Holly-holie-hokie...dream of only me

10:08 am

hokie carla

<----still trying the american name for overlocker just in case

10:10 am

MollyL

She's talking about sewing machines for those of you who don't stitch

10:11 am

hokie carla

correct. did you google overlocker?

10:13 am

cybernan

it has never taken that one, carla

10:13 am

cybernan

I still try it every time too though

10:13 am

hokie carla

I know nan, that's why I used the word "still" ðŸ˜œ

10:14 am

hokie carla

and "just in case". because we always think enable is suddenly going to take words

10:15 am

cybernan

doesn't take the pt either

10:15 am

welki

nan, does british columbia release covid numbers over the weekend? here, there hasn't been a weekend update in months (and premier/med. officer no longer do live updates regularly), even though our numbers are going through the roof again

10:15 am

MollyL

Enable, that hasn't been updated in 21 years is just going to "suddenly" take words. My my.

10:16 am

cybernan

no - just on weekdays - a 3 day update on Mondays

10:16 am

welki

<-- always checks for that sewing thing, too (only goes to show - insanity: doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results)

10:17 am

rururocks

BC has to get their COVID act together. I am planning on a vacation there next summer

10:17 am

cybernan

I think Kenney is too embarrassed to do daily updates. Isn't he being reviewed for his mishandling of the pandemi? Even O'Toole has thrown him under the bus in the interest of getting elected.

10:18 am

welki

we're back to 'modified' lockdown; restrictions on gatherings, inside and out, mask mandates, capacity limits...our health system is collapsing (no exaggeration)

10:18 am

cybernan

lol - we do have our act together, ru --- all you need is a negative test or proof of vaccination.

10:18 am

welki

kenney will be fried for all eternity for his 'open for summer' initiatived

10:19 am

MollyL

I thought Canadian travel for Americans resumed in August

10:20 am

cybernan

heard you are also going to need a vaccination passport for non-essential activities

10:20 am

cybernan

heard you are also going to need a vaccination passport for non-essential activities

10:20 am

welki

it did - and boyhowdy, our snowbirds are royally ticked off that the reverse direction is still closed

10:21 am

rururocks

it has.. but i'm afraid they're going to close the borders. I will get a vaccine passport too for sure.

10:21 am

cybernan

Depends on which province, Molly --- for most provinces you need a vaccination passport or proof that you have had 2 doses of vaccine.

10:21 am

welki

border opening, or not, is supposed to be announced tomorrow

10:21 am

rururocks

i'm doing the booster too if it's available in October

10:22 am

cybernan

me too, ruru

10:22 am

MollyL

I read about the health care system in Alberta. Scary.

10:22 am

cybernan

We already have our passports, both in printed form and on our cell phones

10:22 am

BzznBea

How do you get those?

10:23 am

cybernan

Saskatchewan is also struggling with health care overload.

10:23 am

welki

we need to travel to montana for what's considered 'essential business,' but would have to quarantine for two weeks upon arrival before our appointment. that is, if the border folks allow us in, because rules change every minute

10:23 am

welki

flying in is ridiculously expensive, almost $1500 for one person

10:23 am

MollyL

I would be scared to travel somewhere like Canada because I would be afraid they would close borders while I was there and I would not be able to get home.

10:24 am

cybernan

what do you consider essential services, welki?

10:24 am

welki

my understanding is that citizens of either country can always return home. might have to quarantine, though

10:24 am

rururocks

there are a bunch of nutjob covidiots in Montana Welki who are anti-vaxxers

10:24 am

cybernan

you would always be able to leave, Molly

10:25 am

welki

ru, there are a bunch of them here, too

10:25 am

rururocks

i'd love to be "stuck" in BC for a long time

10:25 am

cybernan

a lot of antivaxers in AB and SK as well -- why they are in such trouble now.

10:26 am

rururocks

nan could have me to lunch and i could go wine tasting up there :D

10:26 am

welki

nan, it has to do with social security and must be an in-person appointment

10:26 am

cybernan

that is true, ruru :)

10:26 am

cybernan

you could even come for happy hour and dinner - you just need to like scotch...

10:27 am

welki

(we've been waiting since covid-onset for this appointment and it's cost us a lot of lost $$$, in usd *lol*)

10:27 am

rururocks

no problem.. i LOVE scotch

10:27 am

rururocks

just not peaty ones

10:28 am

welki

agreed, ru - to me, they just taste dirty

10:28 am

cybernan

we agree there

10:28 am

BzznBea

Ru, guess what type of dishwasher is here in the vacation house? And guess what it needs?

10:28 am

rururocks

HIghland Park is as Peaty as I can go.. the others taste like licking and ashtray

10:28 am

rururocks

a bosch and it needs rinse aid :D

10:28 am

welki

haha, was going to say they're like licking out a camp fire pit

10:29 am

cybernan

someone else can drink the Laphroaig

10:29 am

welki

...or salt, it might need salt :D

10:29 am

BzznBea

You got it!

10:29 am

rururocks

ugh.. that is so awful nan.. Laphroaig

10:30 am

MollyL

You guys do know that you can use vinegar instead of rinse aid

10:31 am

welki

folks know my husband likes a good scotch and gift him with nice (to them) bottles of the stuff - if it was vodka, i could wash the windows with it, but what do you do with peaty scotch you simply cannot drink?

10:31 am

rururocks

I like MacCallan (the best)< 18 yr old Oban, Balvenie double wood, Highland Park 18, and Loki.

10:31 am

cybernan

don't think I"ve ever had Highland Park -- assume it is also a single malt?

10:32 am

rururocks

i give my gifts (regift them) to people who like peaty scotches. I just can't drink them.

10:32 am

BzznBea

NTPN - Swiss Mountain.

10:32 am

welki

atalanta recommended highland park to us, i think

10:32 am

MollyL

Damn, you guys are some high end drinkers

10:33 am

rururocks

it's a single malt.. it's wonderful stuff...especially the 18 year old.. it does have a kiss of Peat though.. but really interesting taste

10:34 am

rururocks

welki.. Ata recommended the Loki to me (15 year old in Sherry barrels).. and it's the best scotch I have ever had

10:34 am

MollyL

Eiger

10:34 am

rururocks

by far

10:35 am

BzznBea

I'm not sure about vinegar, Molly. There is not heat element for drying in the Bosch. The jet dry is what helps the dishes dry.

10:35 am

welki

wowsa, that's an expensive bottle

10:35 am

cybernan

They make a "scotch" in the Okanagan called Laird of Fintry that is really good but also expensive.

10:35 am

rururocks

it is.. but totally worth it welki.. it's nectar

10:35 am

BzznBea

Molly, gets a bar os Swiss Chocolate!

10:36 am

welki

600 pounds = 1050 CAD

10:36 am

rururocks

yeah.. it's $425 here american

10:36 am

rururocks

Molly would prefer a hunky swiss yodeler

10:36 am

MollyL

Like I said, high end drinkers

10:37 am

welki

hmmm - cheaper to buy in the states, works out to about 525/bottle

10:37 am

rururocks

women's shoes cost more than that molly

10:37 am

MollyL

I'll take the chocolate. Men in lederhosen freak me out.
And not the women's shoes I buy

10:37 am

cybernan

not my shoes!

10:38 am

rururocks

lederhosen can be sexy molly :D

10:38 am

MollyL

Only the elite rich spend high dollars on shoes

10:38 am

BzznBea

I've never owned a pair of shoes that even cost $100.

10:38 am

welki

they can't hold a 'candle' to a tool belt

10:39 am

rururocks

ok a guy in lederhosen with a TOOL Belt

10:39 am

rururocks

my dress shoes cost a lot more than that bea

10:39 am

welki

nah, just a tool belt. only a tool belt.

10:40 am

MollyL

I read that Sarah Jessica Parker stepped in dog shit wearing a $700 pair of Jimmy Choos and took them off and threw them away right there on the street.

10:40 am

MollyL

Yes, but not all mens dress shoes cost a lot more than that

10:40 am

rururocks

*imagines Welki has a lot of repairs around the house these days *

10:42 am

welki

now that my guy is retired, i think of all sorts of things that need fixing

10:42 am

MollyL

I would pass on hunky in a heartbeat for a guy who can fix things

10:44 am

BzznBea

Hunks fade. Fixers never run out of tools.

10:45 am

MollyL

According to HRH Jill, The Sweet Potato Queen, the best five words a man can say are "I'll take care of that".

10:47 am

HarryHood

yes - highland park is delicious

10:47 am

HarryHood

14 to go here

10:48 am

MollyL

*Hides in the corner with her cheap beer

10:49 am

Krysten

I joined in time for the scotch discussion! Love me some single malt.

10:49 am

HarryHood

12 now. going to list.

10:50 am

rururocks

Harry has good taste

10:50 am

HarryHood

I also like the really peaty ones. balmore I think was one?

10:50 am

cybernan

14 and following Harry

10:51 am

HarryHood

bowmore

10:51 am

rururocks

you're on your own there Harry

10:51 am

dan2bit

firewords! tx welki, molly, lickety and all cluers

10:51 am

HarryHood

and I like that bourbon with the red plastic dripping around the sides.

10:51 am

cybernan

don't mind the bowmore 18 - better than the 21, I think

10:51 am

hokie carla

maker's mark?

10:52 am

HarryHood

yes!

10:52 am

rururocks

makers Mark

I don't know any bourbons but I know the red dripping

10:52 am

rururocks

i have about 20 different bourbons here

10:53 am

HarryHood

holy cow. that's alot of bourbon

10:53 am

hokie carla

bourbons are not gluten free

10:53 am

welki

mmmmmmm, love a maker's mark manhattan

10:53 am

hokie carla

really, not that that's keeping me from drinking it

10:54 am

welki

(and stir it up a bit with orange bitters, instead of angoustura)

10:54 am

MollyL

While I prefer Irish whiskey, Makers will do if that is all that's going

10:55 am

MollyL

I cried a little when Ru lost a bunch of expensive liquor due to an earthquake

10:55 am

rururocks

Irish whiskey is a bit too fiery for me

10:55 am

BzznBea

When do you move, Carla?

10:55 am

Krysten

Ru, I got a bottle of Macallan Rare Cask 2020 for Christmas. I haven

10:55 am

welki

(or sometimes peychaud's)

10:55 am

Krysten

*haven't brought myself to open it yet

10:55 am

MollyL

Really? I think Jameson is pretty mellow

10:55 am

rururocks

nice gift

10:55 am

hokie carla

we are moved! old house is completely empty now, closing tomorrow. still trying to organize here.

10:56 am

MollyL

Damn, that would be open and gone by now if it lived in my house

10:56 am

rururocks

I had a 1978 MacCallan and a 25 year old MacCallan in the cabinet but they broke in the earthquake

10:56 am

BzznBea

Bet that feels good, Carla.

10:56 am

BzznBea

Did you cry, ru?

10:56 am

hokie carla

<----now singing rihanna's "cheers"

10:56 am

cybernan

10:56 am

Krysten

Devastating!

10:57 am

rururocks

i did.. it was awful

10:57 am

Krysten

thanks for the tip on Loki. Never tried it but it sounds like Yum

10:57 am

rururocks

I can't afford them any longer now.. the 25 year old costs 7 x as much as I paid for it

10:57 am

MollyL

*Thinks someone could make some money coming up with an "earthquake proof" liquor cabinet

10:58 am

rururocks

oh Krysten the Loki is a life changing experience

10:58 am

hokie carla

well, mr homie is still having seller's remorse and is about to drive me crazy. can't look at this house as temporary until we find one we like and thinks he's moved down in the world. ðŸ™„

10:58 am

HarryHood

gotta run! still 5 to go.

10:58 am

MollyL

They did that song so much better on Smash. I can't stand Rhianna

10:59 am

cybernan

used to buy the 21 yr MacCallan, but the 12 yr is closer to my budget now.

10:59 am

BzznBea

Poor Mr. Homie.

11:00 am

rururocks

the 21 year is over $1,750 here nan

11:00 am

rururocks

i could never spring for that much for a scotch

11:01 am

cybernan

yes, I'm going back quite a few years, ru

11:01 am

rururocks

the new whisky and whiskey prices are astounding to me

11:02 am

Krysten

I'm not sure my palate is defined enough for scotch that expensive.

11:04 am

hokie carla

I don't even remember that song on smash. will have to look for it.

11:05 am

rururocks

Oh yes it is krysten. You would flip out

11:05 am

rururocks

I canâ€™t stand Rhianna

11:06 am

Krysten

One of my other favs is A'bunadh. Wow

11:06 am

cybernan

*!*~*!* nice one today

11:08 am

cybernan

hagd everyone.

11:08 am

rururocks

Never had that one

11:09 am

Election day here --- hope we don't wind up with a PC majority (that would be like having Trump in office up here)

11:10 am

BzznBea

I saw a 2024 campaign sticker for him. I got sick to my stomach.

11:11 am

sammysmom

semding good vibes nan's way

11:11 am

Krysten

It's not near as costly as some (about $105 CDN) but really smooth. It can be a bit hard to find tho.

11:12 am

Krysten

Oh, and it's an Aberlour

11:15 am

rururocks

i'll look for it.

11:16 am

rururocks

there's a great place in San DIego called Whiskey house that pours over 3.300 different whiskeys from around the world by the glass

11:16 am

joym999

good morning everyone

11:16 am

rururocks

it's amazing. i can find it there next trip to SD

11:18 am

Krysten

Sounds like I need to plan a trip to San Diego! Unfortunately, there's nothing like this around me. I live too far outside of Toronto and live in too small a town for even our stores to carry much in the way of good scotch. And no one in my family likes it either. Husband likes his craft beer but that's about it.

11:19 am

joym999

I'm not seeing the DE8/9. Am I missing something obvious?

11:20 am

rururocks

they have craft beer there too :D you can indulge .. it's a real experience

11:20 am

state LCB limiting puschase of certain brands, because of a shortage of glass to bottle.

11:21 am

joym999

ty...I tried that before but forget to double the R. Spelling counts!

11:22 am

Soodle

I just got word that my daughter in law has gone into labour. Your good vibes would be appreciated. I might just be hitting the old whikkey later this evening.

11:22 am

joym999

good luck, soodle!

11:22 am

MollyL

The glass shortage is the reason for the price hikes in all liquor

11:23 am

Krysten

Nice chatting. Got to run. Happy Monday all.

11:23 am

72 Temple Owl

what is the source? Offshore, i imagine...

hokie carla

I think I reported here a couple of weeks ago that I called the local ABC store to ask about boxes and he said they weren't getting any shipments. I heard a lot of NC ABC stores had a lot of empty shelves.

11:34 am

BzznBea

Could be the lack of truck drivers as well.

11:35 am

BzznBea

I know the glass factory in our town is running full out.

11:40 am

hokie carla

she was still mowing her yard and working in flowers in her early 90s but then had colon cancer and went to a nursing home. I think the nursing home killed her.

11:40 am

hokie carla

not literally, but not being able to do her stuff at her house

11:42 am

hokie carla

crazy to me to think of the changes she saw in the world from 1910-2006

3:37 pm

3:47 pm

hurshy

now, GR8, that's just... that's just... obscure to say the least!

3:55 pm

mab

it is. only got it from a good clue. have seen if in french with different spelling.

3:59 pm

mab

and then i just could not get the de9. i looked and looked how to work the s in. so silly.

3:59 pm

mab

cherlyq

4 r's left

4:51 pm

hurshy

see i didn't look for how to put the S, i just put it. if it was there, it would go in, and if it wasn't, it wouldn't. it's like House's philosophy - treat instead of testing.

4:53 pm

mab

yes. no cost in taking a stab. unless you're house's patient.
