nice seasonal ca words

7:41 am

hokie carla

wow, just barely got half on the first tile. is that a bad sign?

7:48 am

BzznBea

Good morning, friends.

7:48 am

hokie carla

bea!

7:49 am

JaxH66

I struggled with that one and the o on the 2nd row

7:49 am

hokie carla

I'm struggling with all of them. need to finish my coffee I guess.

7:50 am

BzznBea

Did you get any snow, Carla?

7:52 am

hokie carla

we had some but nothing stuck. it was still 36 while it was snowing and it was almost 70 the day before. 27 this morning. brrr. did you get any?

7:52 am

hokie carla

we had a lot of heavy rain and wind before it turned to snow.

7:53 am

BzznBea

We had 3-4 inches. Tons of rain and wind. Still have snow on grassy areas.

7:54 am

hokie carla

wow

7:55 am

BzznBea

We are farther north than you.

7:55 am

hokie carla

yep

7:57 am

hokie carla

I just read I-95 in VA was shut down due to a 6 tractor trailer wreck. not sure if it's open now or not, they said drivers were stuck over 15 hours.

7:58 am

BzznBea

I saw that story come across my newsfeed.

8:03 am

MollyL

24 hours. I just heard a lady who was stuck in it being interviewed and she was in a much more pleasant mood than I would be.

8:03 am

BzznBea

Where was she, Molly?

8:04 am

hokie carla

oh geez

8:04 am

BzznBea

Did you get much snow?

8:04 am

MollyL

Imagine having to pee outside in 19 degree weather.

8:04 am

hokie carla

nope

8:04 am

MollyL

We got a couple inches, enough to mess everything up and then freeze overnight.

8:05 am

MollyL

She was around Lorton.

8:06 am

hokie carla

reminds me of my mom talking about not wanting to go out to the outhouse in cold weather

8:07 am

MollyL

If people are foolish enough to venture out in weather like that they should keep an emergency box in their car. Water, food, blanket, etc.

8:10 am

hokie carla

ok, yes. the first O is a struggle too. only found 3.

8:11 am

welki

'morning, babblers

8:11 am

BzznBea

Hello, welki.

8:11 am

hokie carla

hey welki

8:14 am

BzznBea

I found an 8 in that O

8:14 am

hokie carla

ugh, there are 6 8s?

8:14 am

hokie carla

is it OR bea?

8:15 am

MollyL

How do you have words like that just floating around in your head, Bea?

8:15 am

hokie carla

I'm sure hurshy thinks it's a normal word ðŸ¤£

8:15 am

BzznBea

Yes, it is OR.

8:15 am

BzznBea

They just jump out at me, sometimes.

8:16 am

MollyL

Hurshy's version of normal is way different than the rest of us.

8:16 am

hokie carla

well, I found an OR6 i'd missed.

8:16 am

BzznBea

extend it

8:17 am

saanichcat

thanks Bea!

8:18 am

BzznBea

yw

8:18 am

hokie carla

still not jumping out at me. have tried adding every 2 letters around it.

8:18 am

MollyL

Nope, not every

8:19 am

Shirlockc

still have to find the O to begin with lol

8:19 am

hokie carla

maybe I have a different O6

8:20 am

MollyL

There is only one

8:20 am

hokie carla

finally. I definitely tried that

8:21 am

hokie carla

thanks, bea

8:21 am

BzznBea

yw

8:21 am

saanichcat

we'll all sing a song of praise carla!

8:21 am

MollyL

Well if you definitely tried it you would definitely have had it : P

8:21 am

hokie carla

haha

8:24 am

BzznBea

I have a funny story. I got airpods for Christmas. Last night while fixing dinner, my right one feel out into the dishwater. I said "SH*T!" Siri said, "I figured as much." WTH!

8:24 am

hokie carla

so weird. I haha'd saan's post and just looked minutes later and saw molly's stuck in there.

8:24 am

hokie carla

that is funny, bea

8:25 am

saanichcat

laughing here bea!

8:25 am

saanichcat

by the way my post was a clue too

8:25 am

BzznBea

She knows me well.

8:33 am

MollyL

Siri has a much better wit than Alexa, who we have changed to Ziggy

8:38 am

Shirlockc

finally got the O -- you know, sira/alexa is kind of like that O in a way

8:39 am

Shirlockc

the 0 6 that is

8:41 am

BzznBea

I've got to set up for a zoom meeting. Back later.

8:41 am

hokie carla

well, I have reached HOET but just barely. 84 left. moving on with my day for now. bye bea, bye everyone.

9:07 am

jmcnrick

hi all!

9:08 am

saanichcat

hello there jmc!

9:09 am

jmcnrick

taking a quick scan of the chat for clues! haha

9:10 am

jmcnrick

you fall off the wagon and it's hard getting back on

9:14 am

saanichcat

have you been away?

9:15 am

jmcnrick

haha I haven't been around much for years now. . . changes in the rhythm of my day . . . just would pop in once in a while.

9:17 am

saanichcat

welcome back! I do remember you from the before days.

9:18 am

jmcnrick

I am shocked that lede is not recognized. It is a common journalist word and is "Don't bury the lede!"

9:18 am

saanichcat

same here

9:19 am

zoozzoom

It would be but lede is not in the grid.

9:19 am

jmcnrick

it is odd but every time I have dropped in over the years it is such a familiar place even though some of those I knew have died or left in other ways. But many of the same people show up after decades! Nice that

9:20 am

jmcnrick

haha good point zooz but when I typed it the grid said it wasn't found in the dictionary

9:20 am

zoozzoom

Ah! That is enable for you!

9:21 am

saanichcat

rather an inappropriate name -- 'enable'

9:24 am

jmcnrick

yep ignorant and erudite simultaneously

9:24 am

welki

hi, hi, hi!

9:24 am

jmcnrick

hi welki!

9:26 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Welki! I like the Winter poem you have as yuor icon haha!

9:27 am

zoozzoom

your*

9:28 am

welki

zooz, it's so frikkin' cold here!! going on three weeks of frigid temps - high of -25C today (and worse for the rest of the week)

9:28 am

jmcnrick

me, too. it was an uncharacteristic (for this year) 25 degrees here. Cold enough for me.

9:29 am

zoozzoom

Yikes! I would not survive that. I am moaning that it is 6.4Â°C here at the moment!

9:29 am

jmcnrick

I could not live in Canada.

9:29 am

jmcnrick

you can thank the Gulf Stream for that zooz

9:30 am

zoozzoom

Yes very true, jmc! Hope it never switches back again.

9:30 am

jmcnrick

haha so far so good!

9:31 am

welki

there are parts of canada where both of you would be comfortable, temperate parts of British Columbia, for instance. This weather, however, is just plain horrible.

9:31 am

jmcnrick

I was just about to write I would ro** up into a ball but caught myself in time.

9:32 am

welki

worse these last couple of years because, even if you couldn't get outside to walk (without freezing your nose hairs), you used to be able to walk around inside in malls or stores

9:32 am

zoozzoom

I have a hot water bottle at this moment in time. Also a furry cover to go over me too.

9:32 am

saanichcat

it's pretty miserable in BC this year.

9:32 am

saanichcat

and I really like your Winter Poem welki!

9:32 am

jmcnrick

never gets warm enough for me. . .

9:32 am

jmcnrick

Welki has a way with words. . .

9:32 am

welki

thanks :)

9:33 am

welki

jm, it's not my poem - credit to whomever the author is

9:33 am

saanichcat

well I am finished, nice to see everyone, stay healthy

9:33 am

welki

later, saanich

9:34 am

jmcnrick

bye saan

9:34 am

welki

how's the boy, jm?

9:34 am

jmcnrick

haha he spent 2020 in Ireland in grad school. . . not his dream study abroad.

9:34 am

zoozzoom

Enjoy the rest of your day & evening, Saanichcat.

9:35 am

jmcnrick

I just finished reading his master's thesis in financial anthropology.

9:35 am

jmcnrick

I am quietly proud as Pogo used to say.

9:36 am

welki

i'll bet you are!! and i'm sure he'd have something to say about economic behaviour in relation to COVID

9:36 am

zoozzoom

Sounds like a smart person you raised, Jmc! Congrats to you and your son!

9:37 am

welki

(you did good, mama)

9:37 am

jmcnrick

actually his thesis was how rap musicians adapted to the pandemic

9:37 am

jmcnrick

I claim some credit but mostly it goes to him

9:38 am

jmcnrick

He is a pretty good writer, if I do say so myself. :D

9:39 am

Dorens

furry cover zooz?

9:40 am

zoozzoom

Yes like a throw, dorens.

9:40 am

jmcnrick

hi dorens

9:40 am

welki

good to 'see' you, zooz and jm - and dorens - but time for me to get this day going. bye for now

9:40 am

zoozzoom

oorie

9:40 am

zoozzoom

damn i am so sorry babblers

9:40 am

jmcnrick

bye Welkie

9:40 am

jmcnrick

ty zooz, I would have never gotten that

9:41 am

zoozzoom

Try and stay warm, Welki â¤ï¸

9:41 am

jmcnrick

where's Molls to remind everyone when I put a couple of hundred grid words in the chat? :)

9:42 am

zoozzoom

Wow how did you do that? Transferring words from lickety?

9:43 am

rururocks

It was legendary

9:43 am

jmcnrick

yep that is how zooz

9:43 am

jmcnrick

hiya ru!

9:43 am

rururocks

hi jm.. very nice to see you

9:44 am

jmcnrick

it's my New Year resolution. To reach out to friends and I couldn't think of a better place than Babbleland.

9:44 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Ruru. Sorry my time is up for now. Will try and do some more later. Nice to see you, Jmc! Take care babblers!

9:45 am

jmcnrick

bye zooz, stay safe and warm

9:47 am

jmcnrick

I just realized that one of the reasons I am better at texting than a lot of my age peers is all the hours on the chog.

9:50 am

origami

Hey there jmc. Nice to see you.

9:50 am

jmcnrick

hi origami good to see you too

10:01 am

jmcnrick

the only thing I can remember from Dr. Suess's "Oh The Thinks You can Think" is Befts go le**"

10:33 am

rururocks

I seem to be having a bit of trouble with this grid

10:34 am

rururocks

although i just found the 9

10:40 am

rururocks

i think bedrate should be a word.. just to keep track of the Kardashians

10:43 am

Meatball421

Who wants to? I wish they would all disappear!

10:44 am

origami

Wouldn't that be bedrot?

10:45 am

rururocks

you got me three meatb.. i don't understand the fascination with them either

10:45 am

Sophie512

Bedrate is slang for how much for a hotel room. Right?

10:45 am

Meatball421

They make me sick. What they spend on makeup alone could feed a small country.

10:46 am

Sophie512

I just found airtoot. I think I'll try to get my grands to use this word instead of FART which seems to be their favorite right now.

10:46 am

Meatball421

Some of the most vapid, self important, greedy amoral women I can think of

10:47 am

Meatball421

Sophie512 Farts and anything related to them never gets old!

10:50 am

Uneaixoise

Be7 clue please?

10:50 am

rururocks

10:51 am

BzznBea

Thanks, ru.

10:51 am

Sophie512

thanks ru

10:53 am

BzznBea

Ru, you up for one of my silly stories?

10:53 am

rururocks

you bet

10:54 am

BzznBea

We have a fancy bed that articulates and we can set the firmness for each side.

10:54 am

rururocks

ok

10:56 am

rururocks

my imagination is running wild now

10:56 am

jmcnrick

I turn away for a minute. . . .

10:56 am

BzznBea

I had the head of the bed up the other night as I was listening to a pod cast. The bed started going goofy. The head went down then up the foot of the bed went up and down. I'm on my phone trying to get the crazy thing to stop. I felt like I was in a Lucy episode.

10:56 am

rururocks

probably the batteries :D

10:57 am

Sophie512

:)

10:57 am

jmcnrick

haha bzzn! sounds like Lucy to me. . .

10:57 am

rururocks

where was mr. bea?

10:57 am

BzznBea

Nothing I did helped. I was seriously thinking our resident spirit was playing with me. Finally it stopped and I went to sleep.

10:58 am

hokie carla

glad you could go to sleep ðŸ¤£

10:58 am

Sophie512

Mr. Bea was tossed on the floor ?

10:58 am

BzznBea

The next day, I was telling Mr. Bea about it. When I looked at him, I knew!

10:58 am

rururocks

oh...lol

10:59 am

BzznBea

He had been downstairs watching tv and wanted to see about setting the bed to a different favorite.

10:59 am

jmcnrick

haha Mr. Bea is a practical joker!

10:59 am

hokie carla

ha!

10:59 am

BzznBea

He keeps me laughing.

11:01 am

rururocks

I like that guy

11:01 am

hokie carla

we had a sleep number many years ago before you could control with phone apps and before they went up and down. we moved the bed for some reason, I don't know if we had moved houses or just moved it to get new carpet or something. anyhoo, my side didn't get hooked up properly and I woke up in the night down in a hole because it had completely deflated.

11:01 am

hurshy

:O

11:02 am

rururocks

speaking of lucy ricardo is in the grid

11:02 am

hokie carla

wow, good find

1:53 pm

cybernan

Except that the word is right there at the top of the music every time you look at it

1:53 pm

hurshy

yes but in that case the letters are written out in an orderly straight line lol

1:53 pm

hurshy

you should know how to spell it, i'll grant you that. but seeing it when all twisted up is different.

2:02 pm

cybernan

2:10 pm

cybernan

MollyL

We've had that si6/21 before but it is a weird one

MollyL

Well, it was really Nan. I was just responding to her comment.

2:36 pm

BzznBea

Good old si6

2:40 pm

BzznBea

Unless this gets easier, I may be leaving some words in Judi's bucket. I miss Judi.

2:45 pm

BzznBea

Sometimes I talk to myself. And then we both laugh and laugh.

2:45 pm

MollyL

I miss Judi too.

2:51 pm

jmcnrick

I am in shock. I didn't know about all the loses from this community.

2:52 pm

cybernan

I'm still not seeing it - not matter how many times we've had it. My memory isn't that good any more

2:53 pm

BzznBea

I think Judi is just taking a break.

2:54 pm

cybernan

BzznBea

si6 - moniker for a knight + truth or ***e

2:56 pm

2:57 pm

cybernan

anyone want clues before I leave?

2:57 pm

BzznBea

Congrats, nan.

2:57 pm

jmcnrick

oh! I went to the FB page and saw Torgone and magazinemom and I assumed the worst. Glad it is just a break. I have had a few of those.

2:57 pm

jmcnrick

whoohooo cyber!

2:58 pm

2:59 pm

2:59 pm

jmcnrick

bye cyber

3:02 pm

cybernan

haven't seen crossy for a while either

3:02 pm

BzznBea

He comes and goes.

3:05 pm

jmcnrick

life has been tough lately. . . several of my friends have died from Covid. . . part of why I decided I needed to reach out to people again. I had been hiding for a couple of years except for the boy and my sister

3:06 pm

periwinkle

I am sorry for your losses, jmc but glad to see you again

3:07 pm

BzznBea

I'm sorry for your losses as well, jm. I

3:07 pm

jmcnrick

I have always found a welcome in the chog and except for engaging in occasional troll baiting have always tried to keep it a welcoming place.

3:08 pm

jmcnrick

thank you. a couple were fairly old (I am no spring chicken myself) and a couple were in Kenya where there was pretty much no vaccine options.

3:08 pm

BzznBea

This has been something we have never had to deal with before.

3:09 pm

jmcnrick

I have never felt disconnected from Babbleland since I am friends with several citizens in FB and others in real life.

3:10 pm

BzznBea

I just hate that sometimes we have no idea why someone is no longer here. Especially in this time.

3:10 pm

jmcnrick

yes, I guess because I did elder law for so long (mostly before I met y'all) it made sense to me to tell the boy to contact you.

3:11 pm

jmcnrick

But we have had a couple of deaths over the years where we were informed.

3:12 pm

rururocks

I'm going to have either a friend let you guys know or my ex-wife tell everyone when I'm gone.. there will be a giant void of punning for a while Methinks

3:13 pm

BzznBea

Yes, there will be a large void without you.

3:13 pm

jmcnrick

I will dig up some puns in your honor ru

3:14 pm

rururocks

oh thank you jm

3:15 pm

jmcnrick

I will deliver them in a deadpan demeanor

3:16 pm

BzznBea

I felt badly when my computer died and I had no way of tell others what was going on,

3:16 pm

rururocks

we were worried about you bea.. i am a little worried about MLF

3:17 pm

jmcnrick

you can at least theoretically connect with a smart phone. . . but you have to choose between finding words and chatting

3:17 pm

jmcnrick

perhaps Dr. God could check on him?

3:19 pm

rururocks

I wondered about Haz, but was tersely told she had a full life and wasn't playing.

3:20 pm

jmcnrick

then you know she is okay and she knows she is missed.

3:20 pm

jmcnrick

on a cheerier note--I could use some help with the e in the first column.

3:20 pm

rururocks

ec6 and ea4 jm

3:24 pm

BzznBea

3:24 pm

jmcnrick

I saw HOET earlier

3:24 pm

hokie carla

3:24 pm

hokie carla

ooh, the break worked. I saw a word!

BzznBea

Speak of the acronymer...

3:25 pm

hokie carla

I have 5 d's left

3:25 pm

hokie carla

acronym was the pangram on spelling bee the other day and it took me a really long time to see it

3:25 pm

jmcnrick

this is like pulling teeth guys. . . .

3:25 pm

jmcnrick

what do they stand for? I hate not being hip. . .

3:26 pm

hokie carla

my biggest problem tiles are the C and the middle A

3:26 pm

hokie carla

HOET is half on every tile

3:26 pm

BzznBea

Explain your acronyms, Carla.

3:26 pm

hokie carla

GATBO is got all the big ones

3:26 pm

BzznBea

TWSS.

3:26 pm

hokie carla

GATBO is not mine

TITT also

3:28 pm

jmcnrick

AARRGGGG!

3:28 pm

jmcnrick

haha to many texters here

3:28 pm

jmcnrick

3:28 pm

hokie carla

TITT is thought I tried that, though I never use that one

3:28 pm

BzznBea

CArla, it will make you feel better knowing the A's are giving me a problem too.

3:28 pm

jmcnrick

I always try things but misspell them

3:29 pm

jmcnrick

not TWHS?

3:29 pm

BzznBea

I still need three.

3:29 pm

hokie carla

just found an A that was almost the same as the C I just found

3:29 pm

jmcnrick

*furiously writing notes*

3:29 pm

hokie carla

I still need one on the bottom if you want to guess

3:29 pm

BzznBea

It's probably the one I need.

3:30 pm

BzznBea

I think I need three ar's

3:31 pm

jmcnrick

I am sure I will never use GATBO! hahahaha

3:31 pm

hokie carla

I have only grayed the i3, E2, R23, i1, T4, V, O3, O2

3:31 pm

hokie carla

GATBO is very rare for me too, jmc

3:31 pm

BzznBea

I have not reached GATBO today either.

3:32 pm

hokie carla

I found 2 8's, one on my own and no 9. I only have 5 7's too.

3:32 pm

jmcnrick

unless the big ones are 6 letter words, it is not even on the horizon for me. I almost never see long words.

3:33 pm

hokie carla

me either, and even when people give me the stats and clues I struggle. I have to just stumble onto them.

3:34 pm

jmcnrick

My mother, OTOH, when we would play Boggle would find a 15 letter work

3:34 pm

jmcnrick

*word

3:34 pm

hokie carla

I think that's why certain people here do way better at serpentine than me, they see the big ones!

3:35 pm

BzznBea

TWSS

3:35 pm

jmcnrick

part of it is talent and part is practice. Mother was definitely talented.

3:36 pm

jmcnrick

TWWS?

3:36 pm

hokie carla

that's what she said

3:37 pm

hokie carla

a joke made popular on The Office

3:37 pm

hokie carla

for when someone says something that could be taken in a dirtier way

3:37 pm

jmcnrick

oooooh I never watched the Office

3:38 pm

hokie carla

80-90% of things I say could have that added on. I don't know how it happens.

3:39 pm

hokie carla

I mean that in real life. doesn't happen as much here because I guess I catch it before or while typing it out

3:40 pm

jmcnrick

I watched a Betty White skit on SNL and it took me about a quarter of the way into the script before I got what the audience saw as a double entendre

3:41 pm

hokie carla

ðŸ˜

3:41 pm

hokie carla

oh, found a mermaid

3:41 pm

jmcnrick

I guess I got tired of that stuff in high school being in the graduating class of '69 which always elicited snickers

3:42 pm

jmcnrick

in the grid?

3:42 pm

hurshy

when i was a kid/teen i was very naive. at a middle school dance, my friend was upset that they were playing the song "i wanna sex you up", it made her uncomfortable. i was fine, and said to her, "well, they can't ACTUALLY be talking about sex or they wouldn't be allowed to play it on the radio!"

3:42 pm

hokie carla

yes, a little mermaid to be precise

3:43 pm

hokie carla

I saw Color Me Badd in concert, hurshy. they opened for Paula Abdul. They were surprisingly good in concert.

3:44 pm

jmcnrick

disney movies, too, have mostly passed me by

3:44 pm

jmcnrick

I am sure I have done something. . . . .

3:44 pm

hurshy

at that time, i thought only teenagers did stupid things, like taking drugs - i assumed all adults were basically just good and responsible and stuff

3:44 pm

hokie carla

ok, this is a disney movie mermaid, jmc

3:45 pm

jmcnrick

haha you clearly did not live in my neighborhood hursh

3:47 pm

jmcnrick

yes, well in spite of my s-i-l disneyfying my name to Jasmine Esmeralda I managed to miss most those movies.

3:48 pm

hurshy

i love the little mermaid, for especially the song "Under the Sea" and the colorful and funny animation that accompanies it

3:48 pm

hurshy

it's just a fabulous song

3:50 pm

jmcnrick

I watch Cyberchase and Odd Squad so I cannot criticize people's entertainment choices for light fair.

3:52 pm

hurshy

i don't really understand the way some people are just like super devoted to disney as a whole, but, i like certain movies.

3:53 pm

jmcnrick

I know. I have a justice oriented smart spiritual friend in her 70s who goes to Disney World multiple times a year.

3:55 pm

jmcnrick

I went once with the boy when he was young and it was interesting enough. . .but weirdly insectless and I was creeped out by the lighthearted rape on the pirates of the Caribbean boat tour (long before Johnny Depp version)

3:55 pm

3:55 pm

I love Disney. They have done some great stuff lately also - Encanto, Soul, the live action remake of Mulan. Good stuff.

3:55 pm

jmcnrick

it was fun enough. . . and the food in the international plaza was fairly good.

3:55 pm

hokie carla

I love the little mermaid. my boys didn't really get into it though. was thinking it was before their time so I just looked - it actually came out when I was in high school!

3:56 pm

BzznBea

My granddaughter loved Encanto.

3:56 pm

hurshy

i don't feel like disney films, for the most part, are even the best representation of childlike wonder that we have available

3:56 pm

hokie carla

I love Disney too. and the campground at DisneyWorld is one of our favorites to go to.

3:56 pm

jmcnrick

I like some of their things but now they have really violent movies.

3:57 pm

hokie carla

like what?

3:57 pm

hokie carla

I just can't think of any

3:58 pm

BzznBea

I finally GATBO!

4:01 pm

hurshy

4:02 pm

jmcnrick

that was hysterical

4:06 pm

jmcnrick

I have move on to my PBS quarter. I spend 3 months watching a particular service and then move to another one. I get to see everything that I want (pretty much, sometimes my timing is off) all for the cost of one service. I find I get bored in three months usually.

4:06 pm

origami

That's hilarious.

4:07 pm

origami

I mean the reddit thread.

Something similar happened in Portland, OR a few years ago. People just left their cars on the freeways and walked home.

4:55 pm

hurshy

there was a bad storm here one time where the snow just came really fast and everyone happened to decide to leave work early at roughly the same time, which was also when schools released students, and there were kids stuck on school buses til like midnight or something as a result.

4:58 pm

hokie carla

pretty sure people left their cars and walked home the last time it happened in ATL

4:59 pm

hurshy

OMB i just realized there are TWO disney princesses here from back to back films. i guess i wasn't attending closely to the earlier conversation.

5:10 pm

hurshy

hmm, i think i may smirk but never sneer

5:10 pm

jmcnrick

better: shirking working smirking lurking

there goes the baker with his tray like always
the same old bread and ro4s to sell
every morning just the same
since the morning that we came
to this poor provincial town

5:16 pm

5:32 pm

Dorens

5:32 pm

harpjane

5:33 pm

hurshy

5:36 pm

72 Temple Owl

hello

5:36 pm

jmcnrick

hi TO

5:37 pm

harpjane

hi to!

5:37 pm

72 Temple Owl

hey je

5:37 pm

72 Temple Owl

hi jane

5:39 pm

72 Temple Owl

i am attenpting, as i do each year when the weather turns cold, to find flannel lined jeans. good luck

5:39 pm

72 Temple Owl

carhartt seems to be the brand to get

5:40 pm

jmcnrick

I usually find them at lands end I think

5:40 pm

jmcnrick

but I haven't looked in a while. Landsend may have ended.

5:40 pm

harpjane

vermont country store?

5:40 pm

72 Temple Owl

i need them for shorties. lands end did not have them last year nor this as far as i see

5:41 pm

72 Temple Owl

regular length interferes with boots

5:41 pm

jmcnrick

ll Beans seems to have them. . . not sure if they are what you want

5:42 pm

72 Temple Owl

thanks i will look, did not come up with search

5:42 pm

jmcnrick

I got boot cut jeans from Torrid (for the fashionably well rounded woman) but they appeared to be for ski boots and not cowboy boots

5:42 pm

72 Temple Owl

how much snow did you have, he? i know dc shuts down

5:43 pm

72 Temple Owl

someone today asked me why. they don;t realize dc is the south

5:43 pm

jmcnrick

it was 5 to 8 inches depending on where you were. People were stranded on I95 for 24 hours

5:44 pm

jmcnrick

But mostly things were already shut down because of the covid spike with hundreds more cases that ever before

5:44 pm

72 Temple Owl

i saw. i have been in freak storms in SC to FL. not something i would repeat!

5:45 pm

72 Temple Owl

i know. my company has, thankfully, not arrived. not vaccinated, too stubborn

5:45 pm

jmcnrick

you or your company too stubborn?

5:45 pm

72 Temple Owl

those who have been saying why bother now have some basis for their arguments

5:45 pm

72 Temple Owl

hahaha both

5:46 pm

72 Temple Owl

i do not want company. that ship has sailed.

5:46 pm

jmcnrick

not really. stats still show that more non-vacs get sick and way more die.

5:46 pm

72 Temple Owl

today my non vaccinated colleague said why botgher? we're all going to get this new one

5:47 pm

72 Temple Owl

well, at the same time, look at all the talk about omicron being mild. i now know more people who have it than i ever did before

5:47 pm

Christa

Evening all

5:47 pm

jmcnrick

but we are not all going to die from it. that is the critical point that is missing

5:48 pm

jmcnrick

hi christa

5:48 pm

72 Temple Owl

i know, but je, i can;t even get some people coming for drive in food to wear a mask. seriously. if we get sick, they'll be SOL

5:48 pm

jmcnrick

as a doctor said Serena Williams and I can both play tennis.

5:49 pm

72 Temple Owl

and i am now working two days. alongside teens from special ed classes. who have had covid whilst working with us

5:49 pm

72 Temple Owl

well, i find people have become very insular and it's made them inconsiderate of others

5:49 pm

jmcnrick

we all have to make our choices in life.

5:50 pm

72 Temple Owl

you're right. i don't have to do any charity work during this time

5:51 pm

72 Temple Owl

today there were three of us where there should be 6

5:51 pm

jmcnrick

I have been pretty insulated by choice. When I went out to shovel snow three different neighbors offered to help.

5:51 pm

72 Temple Owl

stayed an extra hour to prepare for tomorrow's crew, we were just keeping up no time to get ahead.

5:53 pm

72 Temple Owl

that's not the kind of insular i meant. it's survuval mode, that does not include any thought for others. i understood that when there were food issues, but now...

5:55 pm

jmcnrick

not my personal experience.

5:55 pm

jmcnrick

okay I need to wander off. see you all tomorrow God willing and the creek don't rise. . .

5:55 pm

jmcnrick

good luck with your jean hunt TO

5:56 pm

harpjane

not really the same thing, but we were both injured this fall so we tried to find someone to shovel our sidewalks for the winter. Ended up having the neighbors offer to do it, free.

5:57 pm

72 Temple Owl

thanks, je see you

5:57 pm

72 Temple Owl

jane i have two neighbors like that. out of 17. i am grateful for them

5:58 pm

72 Temple Owl

oops let me rephrase - there are about 35 on this cul de sac

6:01 pm

72 Temple Owl

i have one neighbor who clears snow, god bless him. i cook for him periodically in thanks. he helps when i need help with mechanical things

6:04 pm

72 Temple Owl

i thought that 005/10 had a comparative? if it were ae or ee it would.

6:45 pm
