12:57 am

12:58 am

harpjane

from the paucity to the overabundance.... schizoid grid!

12:59 am

1:00 am

m9f9l

Oh, they are cute!!

1:00 am

mich_pdx

is it via zoom? I had to quit teaching - the anxiety of live online was too stressful.

1:01 am

m9f9l

webex

1:02 am

m9f9l

I'm doing a federal class on Saturdays.. two 3 hour sessions with an hour inbetween, so that's a lot. And then a Mon/Thurs class. But then they wanted me to do the accelerated class

1:02 am

m9f9l

So I'm having someone sub my M/Th for two weeks while it all overlaps

1:03 am

m9f9l

And we're painting our house.

1:03 am

m9f9l

No more boring grey!

1:03 am

mich_pdx

what color did you pick?

1:04 am

m9f9l

Behr.. caribbean current. It's a teal.

1:04 am

m9f9l

Cream trim.

1:04 am

m9f9l

It's very cheerful!

1:06 am

mich_pdx

sounds lovely. I had my house painted a soft blue green - Behr "harmonious"

1:06 am

m9f9l

The next door neighbor said "is that the color you're going with?" "yes. what do you think?" ... "..."..."it's...bold."

1:07 am

mich_pdx

lol!

1:07 am

m9f9l

1:07 am

m9f9l

That's pretty.

1:09 am

m9f9l

Nice! The inner trim and door are a red color.

1:10 am

1:11 am

harpjane

I wanna have the job that makes up paint names.

1:12 am

m9f9l

that's about the color of the house next door to us

1:12 am

harpjane

Yukon Gold is Dutch Boy, sold under the Ace brand

1:12 am

mich_pdx

The OPI fingernail polish names are my favorite - very punny.

1:12 am

m9f9l

My Mom was once offered a job where she would have named streets, but she didn't take it

1:13 am

m9f9l

Oh! I found a Yukon Gold at Benjamin Moore.

1:14 am

m9f9l

I see a dutch boy "yukon" it's brown

1:14 am

m9f9l

Ah yes. there it is under "Match of Ace" whatever that means

1:15 am

harpjane

Try Ace Yukon Gold. It

1:15 am

m9f9l

It looks peachier than the Moore

1:15 am

harpjane

it's a yellow

1:15 am

m9f9l

There's also a Olympic one, and a Do it Best one

1:17 am

m9f9l

Yes. very similar to the house next door

1:18 am

harpjane

I can't find a good match of it on line. It's the same color as the Lake Yellowstone Hotel. (google it!)

1:18 am

m9f9l

The house across our back yard is a yellow/orange color..very pretty, with darker orange accents.

1:19 am

m9f9l

Oh that's a lovely yellow!

1:19 am

m9f9l

I want to paint my dining room a slightly paler version of that.

1:19 am

m9f9l

Some photos make it look yellower than others.

1:22 am

mich_pdx

I'm fading - going to stop for tonight. Great chatting M9 et al

Singular of the stars âœ¨âœ¨

8:09 am

Uneaixoise

Thanks Molly

8:10 am

MollyL

I didn't know there was a singular. But you know, Enable.

8:19 am

mael

just one of the muses :)

8:24 am

mael

actually, no, I lied! It's not like italian, in english the pl6 is a collective noun

8:25 am

MollyL

The Seven Sisters constellation is named after the muses

8:27 am

hokie carla

ugh, 88 left after 1st pass and still have 3 tiles I don't have half on

8:28 am

mael

yes, yes it is. But in Italian, one pl is one muse, in English, one PL is a collection of seven :)

8:28 am

BzznBea

It does seem to be difficult today.

8:28 am

Uneaixoise

75 to go......

8:28 am

hokie carla

8:29 am

BzznBea

My daughter Paige is in the grid.

8:30 am

hokie carla

8:30 am

MollyL

The definition says "one of the Pl____ (stars or daughters of Atlas)

8:31 am

Good morning.

8:38 am

It is. Woke up at 5:30 and couldn't get back to sleep :-(

8:39 am

hokie carla

that's the worst

8:40 am

hokie carla

well that and not being able to go to sleep at night

8:41 am

origami

I don't usually go to sleep until after midnight, so it's not good when I wake early. Well, there's always naps.

8:42 am

hokie carla

well I hope you get one today. I have trouble napping.

8:43 am

welki

8:43 am

welki

carla!

8:46 am

origami

Morning, welki. We're making a little progress. At least he's potty trained now and knows simple commands (not that he always complies).

8:47 am

MollyL

Potty trained? He goes on a potty?

8:47 am

welki

that's more than a little progress - getting the house training done is MAJOR!

8:47 am

hokie carla

that would be funny. but that's great!

8:47 am

origami

It's harder with him than a puppy because he's 2-3 years old and had all that time to cement bad behavior.

8:48 am

hokie carla

are you saying you can teach an old dog new tricks?

8:48 am

origami

Going on a potty is better than going in a house :D

8:49 am

MollyL

I didn't know dogs could be trained to go on a potty. I learn the strangest things about pets here.

8:49 am

hokie carla

although many people here are jumping the queue (by giving false information about being immunocompromised), we'll wait our turn for our third shot

10:13 am

cybernan

hubby gets is booster today, but caregivers not included, so will have to wait for mine as well

10:15 am

cybernan

are the no vaxxers in AB finally seeing the light, welki? A lot of them here got theres as soon as they couldn't go to the bars without them!

10:15 am

cybernan

*theirs -- brain not fully awake yet ;)

10:16 am

origami

I'm over 65, so it was time for me to get the third shot.

10:17 am

rururocks

bummer ori.. it didn't affect me at all

10:17 am

hokie carla

my oldest bro said it was the worst he'd ever felt after a shot. I'm not in a group yet to get the booster.

10:17 am

origami

Yeah, flu-like symptoms.

10:18 am

welki

nan, the anti-vaxxers are still arrogant and steadfast in their ignorance.

10:18 am

cybernan

Apparently the 2nd shot lasts for 6 months before starting to lose it's effectiveness -- that will be in another month for me. They are vaxxing the immune compromised and those in senior homes first here.

10:19 am

welki

we can hope, nan, that by the time our turns come, the vaccine will be 'new and improved,' and more effective against variants

10:19 am

rururocks

SF just closed down a In and out Burger joint for not requiring proof of vaccine

10:19 am

hokie carla

one of our friends works in a hospital. he had a co-worker that resigned in lieu of getting vaccinated. she just died last weekend of covid.

10:19 am

origami

Not requiring proof for an employee, ru?

10:20 am

rururocks

customers

10:21 am

cybernan

we had a restaurant here that was closed down too -- owner is an anti-vaxxer and now has the restaurant up for sale.

10:21 am

rururocks

I wonder how many dumb people covid has taken out like that hokie.. people that should know better

10:22 am

hokie carla

wow, SF is requiring proof of vax to go places? I don't see that ever happening here.

10:22 am

hokie carla

I know, ru, it's crazy.

10:22 am

origami

I didn't know that was a requirement in SF.

10:23 am

hokie carla

I guess if that's a hill you want to die on...

10:23 am

rururocks

I will never understand it... even though I try..

10:23 am

cybernan

I don't see this disease ever going away until vaccinations are required everywhere and made available everywhere. The world did it for smallpox and polio -- should be done for this as well.

10:23 am

hokie carla

it's baffling to me that hospital workers have been required to get flu shots for years and yet this is where they draw the line.

10:24 am

origami

I'm sorry about Colin Powell. Did you see Trump's horrid statement about him after his death? Shameful.

10:25 am

rururocks

Trump is a moron

10:25 am

hokie carla

it's not ever going away, they've (scientists) have said that. supposedly in about 10 years it will be more like the other coronaviruses that cause the common cold.

10:25 am

cybernan

yes - trump is a disgusting man

10:25 am

hokie carla

I did not see what he said. cause you know, I don't read news.

10:26 am

rururocks

well you mean the filter didn't give you that news

10:26 am

hokie carla

my news curator

10:26 am

origami

It was despicable.

10:27 am

rururocks

he did the same thing with John McCain.. ori.. such a cretin

10:28 am

origami

That's right. He did.

10:29 am

hokie carla

he has said some pretty disgusting things over the years and yet people still defend him

10:30 am

mael

it's a cult, honestly

10:31 am

rururocks

the Q anon doofus is running for office in Texas.. did you read about that

10:31 am

origami

Doesn't surprise me.

10:32 am

rururocks

supposedly the guy who started Q anon.. where is this country going?

10:32 am

cybernan

airpen is absolutely a word -- I have one in my hobby cupboard

10:38 am

rururocks

anyone know what the 9 starts with?

10:38 am

MollyL

I thought Ron Watkins was running in Arizona. Or are you talking about someone else?

10:41 am

rururocks

oh.. you're right. ..he is in arizona.. that's right

10:42 am

MollyL

He's going to "fix" the election process. Right.

10:42 am

rururocks

he looks like a guy who's drunk too many beers and listened to too many Travis Tritt albums

10:43 am

rururocks

getting rid of the electoral college would FIX election issues

10:43 am

mael

absolutely

10:44 am

mael

it's absurd that we're still using a system that is so fundamentally undemocratic

10:44 am

rururocks

i agree

10:45 am

origami

The Trumpists will fight tooth and nail any attempt to get rid of the electoral college.

10:47 am

MollyL

It is not just Trump people who will fight it. So will big dollar lobbyists who influence votes.

10:47 am

mael

you're right, it's not trumpists. it's republicans

10:47 am

origami

True. Those people are normally right-wingers.

10:49 am

mael

the popular vote has and will for the foreseeable future favor democrats and there is NO way the republicans are ever letting go of the electoral college. it's the only thing that gives them a chance each presidential election

10:49 am

MollyL

There are plenty of democratic big dollar lobbyists

10:49 am

origami

I did say "normally."

10:50 am

mael

democratic big dollar lobbyists want democratic presidents to enact their agenda, so they're not really the ones who favor the electoral college

10:52 am

MollyL

Anyone who knows they can capture the electoral votes of certain states favors the electoral college

10:55 am

mael

but to what end, if not to win the presidency?

10:55 am

mael

that's the point of the electoral college

10:56 am

MollyL

Of course it is, that is what we are discussing

10:56 am

mael

so why would a democratic lobbyist favor a system that hobbles the democratic candidate every election?

10:57 am

MollyL

Democrats do win Presidential elections

10:58 am

mael

yes, DESPITE the electoral college

10:58 am

MollyL

Okay, your opinion

10:59 am

MollyL

It is impossible to win a presidential election in the US despite the electoral college. The whole winning process is based on who gets the most electoral college votes.

10:59 am

mael

how is it my opinion? the democrats would have won every single election since 2000 if we counted popular vote vs electoral vote

11:01 am

mael

(except 2004, actually)

6:50 pm

hokie carla

my bff has taken it up in the last year and wants me to play with her. she booked a court tomorrow, so I made mr. homie hit with me today. it wasn't great.

6:50 pm

penquis

did you play much as a younger person?

6:50 pm

hokie carla

and then we played pickleball after and talked about how much more we like it ðŸ˜œ

6:51 pm

hokie carla

I played a lot in my early 30s-just about 2 years ago.

6:51 pm

Lizlin

I had to google pickle ball!

6:51 pm

penquis

i played pickleball a few times and i liked it well enough... I just missed the strategy of doubles tennis...

6:52 pm

penquis

pickleball is really popular around here....15 or 20 people show up for open pickleball time at my indoor court place...

6:52 pm

hokie carla

had to have shoulder surgery in 2015 and then I just did clinics for a while and then our tennis pro left and I heard the new one wasn't great and it was impossible to get him so I've been not playing.

6:53 pm

penquis

well you should play whatever one you like....both can be fun and good exercise...

6:54 pm

penquis

in some ways pickleball is less physical but there can be a lot of starts and stops, twisting and such....

6:55 pm

hokie carla

some of the women at the other clubs here are really snooty and not nice so I really just want to play for fun and not get back in the leagues.

6:55 pm

hokie carla

and pickleball...we have only played singles against each other, so a little more moving

6:57 pm

penquis

for sure....i am lucky to have some nice people to play tennis with...i play during the day, so it's mostly seniors...

6:58 pm

hokie carla

I played during the day but it was stay at home moms

6:59 pm

penquis

i was playing in USTA leagues before the pandemic...not sure i will ever get back to that...

7:02 pm

8:02 pm

Dorens

Doesn't it though?

8:03 pm

Dorens

How are you ru?

8:03 pm

rururocks

i'm fine.. how are you guys.. David said he'd write soon, but i haven't heard anything

8:04 pm

rururocks

just had a birthday last week.

8:05 pm

Dorens

David has many good intentions. He started the new job yesterday, is pretty excited about it. Moved into new apartment a week ago and putting lots of energy into fixing it up. Jasper is very happy and will be spending next weekend with me. Happy belated!

8:05 pm

Dorens

Jeremy's birthday is today

8:05 pm

rururocks

that's good.. he's a cute doggie

8:05 pm

rururocks

wish him a happy one for me. we're fellow libras

8:06 pm

rururocks

where's David's Job NY? or ?

8:07 pm

Dorens

It's a good sign. I will. And I will remind David that he said he'd write. He's in charge of adult services and reference resources at the Morristown Library. Morristown is my county seat. Had Dr. appointment yesterday and took him out to lunch at one of my favorite restaurants which is right across the street from the library. Such fun being able to do that.

8:08 pm

rururocks

yes.. they're all within reach :D

8:08 pm

rururocks

although we'll miss you guys out here.

8:09 pm

Dorens

Is this your busy season?

8:09 pm

Dorens

you will just have to come to NY!

8:09 pm

rururocks

yes.. it's Sept-Dec.. and it's crazy busy

8:10 pm

rururocks

I'm afraid to fly right now.. too many looney tunes people on the planes right now

8:10 pm

72 Temple Owl

hello

8:10 pm

rururocks

hey TO

8:10 pm

Dorens

Hope you're not working too hard. Oct, Nov is my facorite time to visit.

8:10 pm

Dorens

Hi Owl, how are you?

8:10 pm

rururocks

i'm working hard.. saving for retirement :D

8:10 pm

72 Temple Owl

i am okay and you?

8:11 pm

Dorens

Not too shabby

8:12 pm

72 Temple Owl

trying to finish. this grid gives agita, but, as welk observed, does not take it.

8:12 pm

Dorens

hah!

8:12 pm

72 Temple Owl

i see all your chicks have come within driving distance...

8:12 pm

Dorens

but thanks, that gave me a word

8:13 pm

72 Temple Owl

looking for the at 8/9 now

8:13 pm

Dorens

Yes, David is back from California. And even better news... Rachel, my youngest, who is 40, is pregnant with first child!

8:14 pm

rururocks

oh my god

8:14 pm

rururocks

that's fabulous news

8:14 pm

Dorens

amazing, right Ru?

8:14 pm

72 Temple Owl

wow! congrats! i remember she was so young when we last met at her apartment

8:14 pm

rururocks

amazing is the word

8:14 pm

Dorens

She's awfully happy!

8:15 pm

hokie carla

I tried agita 3x this morning and decided I must be making it up.

8:15 pm

hokie carla

congrats, dorens!

8:15 pm

Dorens

It's the reason she hasn't been able to enjoy all that lovely wine... Had some trouble getting there and was trying to be extra careful at certain times.

8:16 pm

rururocks

ah ok.. more for grandma then

8:16 pm

Dorens

thank you Hokie. By the way, I read that you do the Spelling Bee too. is that right?

8:16 pm

72 Temple Owl

lovely news

8:16 pm

hokie carla

yes, just started it in the last few weeks

8:17 pm

hokie carla

finally made it to amazing tonight

8:17 pm

Dorens

It's my latest addiction. Can't go to sleep until I am officially a genius wioth pangram. I'm seven points away right now but I will get there

8:17 pm

rururocks

gotta run meeting some friends for dinner at an Italian restaurant. Congrats dorens.. send Rachel my love. So neat

8:18 pm

72 Temple Owl

where is this? because of course, i need a new word game...

8:18 pm

Dorens

I will definitely do so,

8:19 pm

Dorens

New York Times, owl. I always did the one in the Sunday Magazine section but they have one online daily and it's quite the thing to wake me up in the morning. Babble is taking second fiddle

8:19 pm

hokie carla

I was one word away from queen bee the other night!

8:19 pm

hokie carla

TO, you can play a short version for free but have to have the NYT game sub to go as far as you can

8:19 pm

72 Temple Owl

oh, then a subscription is needed...

8:20 pm

hokie carla

it's like I'm a mind reader ðŸ˜œ

8:20 pm

Dorens

Wow. That is quite an accomplishment. I was Obsessing over that for a while and then realized that the day is too short. Many Words with friends games, Sudoku, Babble, Spelling Bee. And then there is life itself. And books, and hikes, and cooking, etc So I'm content with genius + pangram

8:21 pm

hokie carla

I decided to try the subscription for 1 month but I think I'll keep it. It's like $5.99 I think and you get the crosswords and sudoku and some other games too.

8:21 pm

hokie carla

I still have 40 left here but am working on spelling bee more. still 47 points away from genius! that's a lot of words.

8:21 pm

Dorens

I think it's worth it. Think what it would cost to go to a movie these daus

8:22 pm

Dorens

Carla they're not crazy words... at least 40 points of them aren't. But I don't see where my next seven points are coming from. Then again I rarely do, until I see them.

8:24 pm

hokie carla

yeah, must just be a bad set of letters for me

8:25 pm

Dorens

Every time I come back to it I find another word or too. Just did right now, So I'm 6 points away. I'll get there.

8:26 pm

Dorens

You'll find them. Do you spin the letters around from time to time?

8:26 pm

hokie carla

yep

8:26 pm

hokie carla

so do you get a point per letter?

8:27 pm

Dorens

You get 1 point for each 4 letter word, otherwise a point per letter

8:27 pm

hokie carla

I don't know why they don't have adit on the list but they have another word I was surprised was included

8:27 pm

hokie carla

oh yeah, that's what I meant

8:27 pm

Dorens

I'm always amazed at how many four letter wrods I don't find immediately

8:28 pm

Dorens

There are an awful lot of Enable words that aren't accepted, but also a lot of real words too. THis guy Sam is a little weird

8:29 pm

hokie carla

yes, the people on the spelling bee subreddit talk about Sam like they all know him

8:29 pm

Dorens

There's a couple of facebook groups. Kind of hilarious actually

8:31 pm

hokie carla

I did email the address for missed words the other day when they allowed daunted but not undaunted and when I was reading one of the reddit threads yesterday someone called that day "undauntedgate". so apparently I wasn't the only one!

8:32 pm

Dorens

The whole world was up in arms about it. I think I read that he apologized for that one. It was kind of egregious

8:34 pm

hokie carla

yeah, I said in my email that undaunted is used way more than daunted

8:35 pm

Dorens

Sure is!

8:44 pm

Dorens

Can I get a clue for the re 8 please?

8:45 pm

72 Temple Owl

how much time do you get?

8:46 pm

Dorens

for what?

8:47 pm

wht

re8 is someone who goes off on his own.

8:47 pm

Dorens

thanks wht. Don't see how I missed that!

8:48 pm

72 Temple Owl

for spelling bee?

8:48 pm

wht

It took me a long time to find it myself.

8:48 pm

72 Temple Owl

am playing free version.

8:49 pm

Dorens

Owl, it's a 24 hour thing starting at 3 AM or some ungodly hour. I just start in the morning and go throughout the day

8:49 pm

hurshy

you have all day

8:50 pm

Dorens

and sometimes need it

8:50 pm

hurshy

but with free you only put a few words. that's what i do. so basically i just think and monkey until i figure out a pangram. then i put a few more words. so it usually only takes me like 5 or 10 mins

8:51 pm

72 Temple Owl

if anyone played today, what rank would 19 be? it timed out, not all day

8:52 pm

72 Temple Owl

i think i would love it. so i won't subscribe

8:53 pm

hokie carla

haha

8:53 pm

hokie carla

did we tell you you can reuse letters in the same word?

8:54 pm

hokie carla

that was a hard adjustment for me

8:54 pm

72 Temple Owl

i see it costs $40/year

8:54 pm

hokie carla

doing somewhat better on that now but still hard to think that way

8:54 pm

Dorens

You would, owl. 19 would be Good. 36 solid, 60 nice, 96 great, 120 amaziing, and genius is 167. When I finish this darned game then I'll get my last 6 pomts/

8:54 pm

72 Temple Owl

no one told me anything. i finally used the help button

8:54 pm

Dorens

You'll get there carla. It definitely has a practice effect

8:55 pm

hokie carla

sorry

8:55 pm

72 Temple Owl

i hope 19 is good for the short free game

8:55 pm

hokie carla

and queen bee is an unlisted rank, TO, but it's finding every single word

8:56 pm

72 Temple Owl

was watching Nova about edible insects. would you pair red or white with them???

8:56 pm

Dorens

I'm sure it is. Particularly since this is your first time. WQueen Bee is usually double the points for amazing, And not easy

8:56 pm

72 Temple Owl

perhaps rose

8:57 pm

72 Temple Owl

again, i am on this thing too much since i got a new machine. either i am going blind or my eyes have been destroyed for far vision by doing so.

8:57 pm

72 Temple Owl

time for the eye doc

8:57 pm

hokie carla

I think I read queen bee is 1.43 times genius

8:57 pm

hokie carla

I need to go to the eye doc too. been a couple of years.

8:58 pm

72 Temple Owl

good night, all

8:59 pm

hokie carla

good night, TO

8:59 pm

Dorens

9:05 pm

april98

Oh, sorry...I'm missing 1, so that must be it!

9:06 pm

Dorens

9:06 pm

hokie carla

9:07 pm

Dorens

9:08 pm

hokie carla

hokie carla

9:11 pm

Dorens

Dorens

9:13 pm

hokie carla

yes, I'm struggling to stay awake as well.

9:13 pm

eieios

50 left for me and i have met all my goals.... probably won't finish tonight.

9:15 pm

Dorens

it's not the easiest. Not the hardest either, but still. I should have started earlier instead of after dinner

9:17 pm

hokie carla

I started this morning! but I've been in and out.

9:18 pm

Dorens

can you clue the si7 please?

9:19 pm

Dorens

si7//32

9:19 pm

hokie carla

it looks like a proper noun - a company name - rhymes with sailors or what sperm is in

9:19 pm

Dorens

thanks.

9:20 pm

hokie carla

np

9:20 pm

Dorens

seen that before. definitely looks like proper noun

9:20 pm

hokie carla

ye[

9:20 pm

hokie carla

yep

9:23 pm

wht

the si7 means the SI unit of conductance, equal to one reciprocal ohm. I hope that clears up any confusion.

9:24 pm

Dorens

thanks wht. I will certainly forget that by the nect time it appears in a grid

9:24 pm

hokie carla

finally made genius!

9:25 pm

Dorens

nice job. i've got 18 left here and then i'll get ithere. And maybe have time to read, which is what I had planned to do tonight. Damned word games!

9:25 pm

hokie carla

well, I figured it had a real definition, but like dorens, I will forget by the next time.

9:26 pm

hokie carla

37 here. I could go to the list. or I could go get ready for bed.

9:27 pm

wht

Fireworks for me. Anyone need clues before I go?

9:27 pm

Dorens

I did list much earlier than usual. Feel compelled to finish. Hooray for you wht!

9:27 pm

hokie carla

9:28 pm

eieios
