i know so many people who are travelling overseas (and to the states and mexico) as if the pandemic is over - I see their photographs and wonder if I'm ridiculous in still being super-cautious

Europe is getting crushed with COVID now and the US typically follows 3-4 wks later. Also, Thanksgiving and Christmas will cause problems.
8:02 am

i miss having cats
8:03 am
hurshy
i saw a headline yesterday about someone saying the pandemic could be over in the US by January. i didn't click but i am assuming it was one of those "...if everybody did what they should do" things... which of course they won't...
8:03 am
Scrabbler
Medium length, white with brown splotches. So damn cute. Maybe 2 lbs. My friend volunteers at the SPCA in the cat wing and latched on to him post-op.

Hi Carla. How are you doing today?
8:24 am
hokie carla
pretty good, stayed up too late last night playing this and watching tv. set the coffee maker to have it ready this morning but forgot to put the carafe under. 🤣
8:24 am
Scrabbler
Uh, oh.
8:26 am
hurshy
they should have a sensor that makes it not go if the carafe isn't there, like how garage doors stop closing if there is somebody underneath them
8:26 am
welki
ugh. nasty way to start the day
8:26 am
welki
(ours will not pour through the filter without the pot)
8:27 am
hokie carla
wasn't as bad as it could be because it has the feature where it stops when you remove the pot, but the filter area was overflowing
8:27 am
hurshy
aha so they do have such features
8:27 am
hurshy
i can only see 6s in the Spelling Bee today, having trouble getting a pangram
8:27 am
rururocks
<---mine won't pour either but it will over fill the filter area if the lid isn't on the carafe.. I do that all the time when I'm not awake.
8:29 am
hokie carla
hurshy, I saw 2 6s right away and now can't see anything close to a pangram
8:29 am
hurshy
yeah, bet we saw the same ones :)
8:30 am

just knocked over my water with my laptop. not even Monday.

Lance Armstrong would have been the greatest in all cycledom if he hadn't cheated... totally seems like a word, right?

BzznBea
Here's is a wonderful tip I bet you all didn't know. When you are out of range for the signal of your key fob to reach your car to lock it, place the fob under your chin. YOur skull works as an antennae and boosts the signal of the fob.
8:32 am
BzznBea
Just random shit...
8:32 am
hokie carla
well and I wear a sunshirt at the beach
8:32 am

8:42 am
hurshy
my last upper S was conflict, hokie, if that helps
8:43 am

bottom S has a couple of plurals where the singular comes from a different S

8:47 am
hurshy
a portmanteau that i find particularly loathesome
8:47 am

8:47 am
hurshy
no, loathsome, apparently
8:47 am
hokie carla

where on earth did enable find it?
8:48 am
hurshy
i've seen it used i think

I did not know that meaning of portmanteau. It also means large trunk or suitcase
8:49 am

MollyL
Sorry Nan, I don't understand the new "code" you all are using
11:26 am
hurshy
i think she meant that the tiles she was missing words from are found one each in columns 1 through 4, those being T in the first column, R in the second, H in the third, and F in the fourth
11:26 am
hurshy
course, there are two Hs in the third column, but
11:29 am
hurshy
guesses: tr6/21 perhaps for the T; rh6 was my R, thought the 4 was plural but apparently you can plural the 4 to make a 6; hu5 that sounds like the kidnapped Patty H, and fl6/27 that rhymes with (and includes) the lo5/10
11:29 am
hurshy
dunno if that's too late or not but hey whatever :D

11:05 pm

lol.... dofith. yes the USA has finished daylight saving time. flip is at 5pm. xx
11:06 pm
grannyrose
and it all goes the other way next year when we finish daylight saving, and then a week later USA starts it again.
11:12 pm
dofith
For us in the west, not having ds at all, we're just at the mercy of the rest of the world! 1pm for me is a much better time than 2pm - getting very fussy the older i get!
11:13 pm

I guess life can't be too bad if I get my knickers in a twist over such trivialities.
11:16 pm
Jacula
Here in UK, we put the clocks back last weekend, it;s 5.16am and there are 44 more mins to go before the flip.
11:18 pm

Actually, thinking about it, I think we put them back the weekend before last. lol

That's nice of you grannyrose, twisted knickers must be painful. :)

Thanks Lickety - you must have the new grid before we do.
11:21 pm
grannyrose
i emailed lickety two days ago about the new flip time for today, and i really should have prompted him this morning. have sent another email. fingers crossed he gets it today, and reposts the list AFTER he flip. loll
11:22 pm
grannyrose
he is a very busy man. i'm not surprised he has forgotten.
11:23 pm
grannyrose
yes, Jac. we change our time, then UK changes their time the next week, then the USA changes their time the week after that.
11:24 pm
Jacula
Confusing, grannyrose!
11:24 pm
licketySplitAUS
timing is fixed - it'll happen again in an hour now

I know I said I thought your list was like cheating when it first arrived on the scene, but I have found it a real help for finding those last few words over the years. You've been doing sterling work and long may it continue.

Lickety - 'others out there who would fill the gap if I suddenly disappeared' - my son could do that, but I've never let him because we like YOU!

19 minutes to go. If anyone needs a clue speak now or forever hold your peace.

Got one eye on the security cams because fox wars are going on here between 'my' foxes from the nearby wood and my mum's foxes from the fields further up (since the fields are being disturbed and uprooted by work going on in them to make a woodland burial ground). Got to check none of them have sprayed sloppy poo anywhere before I let the cats out. Don't want that trodden into the house!

Yes, grannyrose, starting the day clearing sloppy fox poo away and then the contents of a shared by 3 cats litter tray is my usual start to the day.

It used to be hedgehog poo as well, but my son's old schoolfriend has nicked my hedgehogs by feeding them first, so he has to clear up their mess now.lol

is fox poo always sloppy? or is it seasonal?

Son's old schoolfriend used to stay overnight at our house a lot. I've never forgotten the time he went to sleep with a bar of chocolate in his sleeping bag and it all melted and I thought he'd sh*t himself during the night.

Fox poo isn't always sloppy, but seems to often be in Autumn.

All the fruit they eat and then fatty winter food they steal from bins or get fed, I guess, grannyrose.
