so many phantoms this grid, I may be in a ghost house
6:31 am

well, turns out one of our pullets is a rooster. oops.
6:38 am
Scrabbler
Haha. Once I bought a baby rabbit and thought it was male. After a few months Calvin did not have testicles and I changed her name to Callie.
6:44 am

I'll be back later, gotta get the kids to the bus :)

6:51 am

good morning all! I guess one cannot be straught, only distraught
6:55 am
hurshy
well did you try traught? the s could just be part of the dis-
7:04 am
dan2bit
good point
7:04 am
dan2bit
neither work though
7:22 am
Scrabbler
I passed halfway. Off to hike.
7:31 am
Uneaixoise
Happy hiking!!
7:47 am
MollyL
The reason one cannot be straught (or taught, since the prefix is dis) is that distraught is an alteration of distract.
7:49 am
mael
one can be au5 though
7:49 am
mael
(I'm kidding)
7:52 am
MollyL
I meant traught not taught
7:53 am
MollyL
I aught to type better
😊
7:53 am

auggh! :-)
7:53 am
BzznBea
I'm still hung up on the part "distraught is an alteration of distract"
7:54 am
mael
I love how languages evolve
7:54 am
MollyL
Yeah, I did that on purpose. There are Christmas cookies in there.
7:54 am
mael
aw shit, then I should get in there too
7:54 am
mael
but I jut had three peanut butter cookies
7:55 am
mael
for "breakfast"
7:55 am
BzznBea
If they frosted and decorated sugar cookies, they are all ready gone. I'm a hoarder of those things.
7:56 am
MollyL
*Imagines Bea in a room overflowing with frosted, decorated Christmas cookies.
7:57 am
BzznBea
It wouldn't be overflowing. They would be in my tummy.
7:57 am
MollyL
I ordered the cutest gingerbread men. The only Christmas cookies I can decorate are trees. Green frosting and sprinkles. Easy.
7:57 am
BzznBea
The room maybe overflowing with my fat ass.
7:59 am
MollyL
I make those pecan snowballs too. I think they are also called Mexican Wedding Cookies.
7:59 am
BzznBea
I was fortunate to work a woamn that made the best decorated cookies. All round with white frosting then decorated with santas, trees, etc
8:01 am
BzznBea
I will make snickerdoodles for Larry and probably chocolate chip. I would like some butter cookies. Not sure how long I will be able to stand.
8:03 am
MollyL
I tried my hand at shortbread one year and decided the shortbread I bought was better than what I could make.
8:06 am
BzznBea
And I will have to make my refrigerator oatmeal cookies.
8:10 am
MollyL
What does refrigerating the dough do?
8:12 am
BzznBea
You roll the dough in logs in waxed paper so they can be sliced. These are not the typical drop oatmeal.
8:14 am
hokie carla
howdy y'all
8:15 am

bea, you should check out pen's niece and car on instagram with their fancy cookies.
8:15 am

Morning, Carla.
8:15 am
hokie carla
pen's niece does time lapse videos of her decorating
8:16 am
BzznBea
That sounds cool.
8:16 am
hokie carla
I think she's danyscakes something. I can go look or you can look under people I follow. car is hundred acre woods I think.
8:16 am
penquis
that's my cue...hello all....
8:16 am
BzznBea
Yes, I've seen car's.
8:16 am
penquis
it's danyscakes but make sure it says she is in Maine...
8:16 am
hokie carla
ha! I can drag her out of the woodwork.
8:16 am
BzznBea
Morning, pen.
8:17 am

8:17 am
penquis
hi carla, Bea....
8:17 am
penquis
i will tell her you like them....
8:17 am
BzznBea
I'll look them up. Thanks.
8:18 am
hokie carla
yes, I'm sure if I say "penquis sent me" she'll be like, who?
8:18 am
hokie carla
unless of course that's your real name.
8:19 am
BzznBea
Carla, are you making candy this year?
8:19 am
hokie carla
no, too much going on and I eat too much. trying to lose some weight right now.
8:20 am
hokie carla
maybe I'll make it in the spring or summer this year.
8:20 am

You have been a busy one. How is your momma?

8:23 am
marksdolly
hi Penq!
8:23 am
hokie carla
dolly, I went into serpentine last week and there was some kind of glitch going on where it kept showing people exiting and entering the room. anyhoo, moolingua (julius fish) was one of those. have you seen him in there?
8:23 am
marksdolly
Fish is in there almost everday
8:24 am
marksdolly
wonder what was going on to make it do that?
8:24 am
hokie carla
I don't know, I asked in the chat and no one answered me. It was not happening in the medium room that day, only the hard.
8:25 am
marksdolly
maybe the chat wasn't working right either... that's odd
8:25 am
hokie carla
I kept saying hi to him but then I realized what was going on and he wasn't really there when I noticed like 10 other users going in and out.
8:25 am
BzznBea
Why is mool not playing Babble?
8:25 am
hokie carla
well, people were still telling the winners good game so I think it was working
8:26 am
marksdolly
that's odd Hokie, you'll have to try it again and see it works right :)
8:26 am
hokie carla
he said back in august he was prioritizing other things. I guess serpentine is easier since it's quick rounds.
8:26 am
MollyL
Carla turned him down when he asked for a date
😊
8:26 am
hokie carla
ha! funny
8:26 am
marksdolly
Mool plays Serp too?
8:27 am
marksdolly
LOL Molly
8:27 am
hokie carla
yes, he is julius fish
8:27 am
marksdolly
really?! I didn't know that
8:27 am
marksdolly
he's in Serp daily
8:27 am
hokie carla
yes, tell him we said hi next time you see him
8:28 am
marksdolly
I will!
8:28 am
hokie carla
except for molly. she does not say hi.
8:30 am
marksdolly
I will tell him that players were asking and say hello :)
8:30 am
BzznBea
Thanks, dolly.

Why is it so damn hard to buy normal lemonade in the UK? I do not want lemonade with lime or with any other flavour. I do not want diet lemonade. I do not want lemonade in a ruddy 2ltr bottle just give me lemonade in a can. Is it really that much to ask.
9:12 am
zoozzoom
Rant over. Back to the grid lol
9:12 am
penquis
rant away, zooz....helps to relieve the stress... ;o)
9:13 am
zoozzoom
Hah! I would have to rant for years to get rid of my stress, Pen haha! Hello by the way â¤ï¸
9:13 am

I thought you had a zest for life Zooz?
9:14 am
zoozzoom
I certainly do not, Ruru!
9:14 am

he's trying to get rid of his citress... ;o)
9:15 am

orange you gonna tell me that's funny, ru?...
9:15 am
rururocks
well it's a juicy discussion
9:16 am

an ade to zooz trying to relieve his stress....
9:16 am
zoozzoom
I have asked three different supermarkets here to please supply ordinary lemonade for nearly three months now. Still no joy.
9:16 am
penquis
bummer, zooz...
9:16 am
rururocks
they couldn't squeeze it in?
9:17 am
zoozzoom
You go on the supermarket websites and they all say they are in stock.
9:17 am
penquis
that's weird...
9:18 am
zoozzoom
I like southern comfort & lemonade as a little treat for myself but no even that is not possible. Stick to tea it will have to be.
9:18 am
penquis
bummer...
9:18 am
zoozzoom
May I say though I did enjoy the puns though!
9:19 am
zoozzoom
Sorry only meant to put one though.
9:19 am
rururocks
southern Comfort and lemonade is what Janis Joplin drank a lot
9:19 am
72 Temple Owl
There's a southern comfort shortage as well???!
9:19 am
penquis
no, a shortage of plain lemonade in the UK apparently...
9:20 am
zoozzoom
Nope plenty of southern comfort, T Oel!
9:20 am
rururocks
you can make your own lemonade zooz.. if life brings you lemons that is
9:21 am
72 Temple Owl
Zooooooz!
9:21 am
zoozzoom
You can buy lemonade in a massive 2 or 2.5ltr bottle. That is no good to me. I am on my own and only want a tipple now and again. The bottle would lose all the fiz after a week or so.
9:22 am
zoozzoom
A bit like my fizz for life lol
9:22 am
zoozzoom
Life brings me nothing but rocks and a hard place, Ruru.
9:22 am
penquis
lol...your lemonade has fizz?
9:22 am
zoozzoom
Oh sorry yes the lemonade is a fizzy drink here.
9:23 am
72 Temple Owl
Probably would keep for months
9:23 am
penquis
not the fizzy kind...
9:23 am
rururocks
oh.. I have empathy for you zooz.. I would think living on the ocean would be a nice life
9:24 am
zoozzoom
I dd nothing but get up look after parents go to the shops for them come home. then repeat. Been like that for 11 years now.
9:24 am
72 Temple Owl
I could use some SC this week...people are nuts
9:24 am
penquis
well we like to see you here, zooz...
9:25 am
rururocks
what do you do for work zooz? if you don't mind me asking
9:25 am
zoozzoom
I am a carer for my parents, Ruru.
9:25 am
72 Temple Owl
Zooz a band from the isle has a single here.... chaise lomgie
9:26 am
rururocks
oh...then you have to find time for yourself.. that's hard work. you need personal TLC time
9:26 am
72 Temple Owl
Sorry, rushing , next train stop is mine
9:26 am
zoozzoom
Never heard of them, T Owl. Will have to look them up.
9:26 am
rururocks
I agree Penq.. zooz is one of my most favorite babble players
9:26 am
72 Temple Owl
They are called wet leg. Go figure
9:27 am
72 Temple Owl
Got to run
9:27 am
zoozzoom
Thanks for saying so, Ruru! Although all I seem to do now is moan. I hate it.
9:27 am
zoozzoom
Have a wonderful day, T Owl.
9:28 am
penquis
sometimes it's good to share those frustrations, zooz...
9:28 am
penquis
bye TO...
9:28 am
rururocks
do you have a good support system if and when your parents pass.. that's going to be hard on you
9:29 am
rururocks
I certainly don't think of you as a complainer
9:29 am
zoozzoom
To be fair. I think I will be gone before them.
9:29 am
zoozzoom
My depression is getting really bad.
9:29 am
penquis
that's an awful thought...
9:30 am
rururocks
oh.. I hope you can change that. you're such a kind person
9:30 am
rururocks
the world needs more kindness right now everywhere ...especially in Florida :D
9:31 am
zoozzoom
Meh this is how it is. Wish I could sugar coat it but have not gone any spare sugar haha!
9:31 am
penquis
getting treatment of some kind?
9:31 am
zoozzoom
I take plenty of tablets. You should here me if I shook myself lol
9:32 am
zoozzoom
Anyway I will leave you in peace. I am very sorry to bring the mood down. That was not intended. Hope your day is kind to you all!
9:32 am
penquis
getting enough time in the sun?....my great nephew has to use a full spectrum light bulb and sit under it every day...
9:33 am
penquis
it's no problem, zooz....wish we could make you fell better...
9:33 am
rururocks
you have a difficult job zooz and sometimes it is thankless and you need to find some fun.
9:33 am
rururocks
you didn't bring my mood down.
9:36 am
rururocks
I've been taking care of my ex-wife and it's been difficult. I kind of know what he's going through.. but I'm sure it's even harder
9:37 am
rururocks
for him that is.
9:37 am
penquis
yes, sounds like it....and i think it's been going on for a long time...
9:37 am
rururocks
I know. for as long as I can remember
9:38 am
rururocks
I wonder if he has siblings that could help or do they leave it all to him?
9:39 am
penquis
i think he lost a brother a few years ago....don't know about any other siblings....
9:39 am
rururocks
oh.. I don't know that much I guess. He's such a terrific part of this community. I hope things get better somehow for him.
9:40 am

My inlaws give us a lot of fad exercise equipment (once they move on to the next fad)
10:25 am

you have the jiggler foot platform one?
10:29 am
windingwake
I don’t! Maybe this year though! We have a big inflatable bean, several rollers and pad things you are supposed to contort yourself over, a collection of dvds with overfit spandexy people…
10:30 am
rururocks
lol.. that's hilarious
10:31 am
hempshow
do they at least demonstrate how to use the new equipment?
10:32 am
rururocks
If I'm going to contort myself I'd better get more out of it than an inflatable bean
10:33 am
welki
be careful of inflated beans - if it persists, see your doctor
10:34 am
rururocks
why.. the kardashians have made a career out of inflated beans
10:34 am
MollyL
So what is the deal between hempshow and Justin?
10:36 am
welki
i wasn't referring to those beans :D
10:36 am
rururocks
in looking at Klaus Schwab.. he looks like Mitch McConnell on prozac
10:36 am
