Scrabbler

Hi aslindy. I have been here a few minutes. How are you today?

5:45 am

aslindy

I'm doing ok so far, just having breakfast

5:46 am

aslindy

how are you?

5:46 am

Scrabbler

How cold is it up there?

5:46 am

aslindy

0 F is the current temp

5:47 am

Scrabbler

8 F here. Brr. I am waking up and getting mentally prepared for work.

5:48 am

aslindy

I'm thankful I don't have to go anyplace today

5:50 am

Scrabbler

Stay warm inside. Do you have a pet to snuggle with?

5:52 am

Bremen

ie

5:52 am

aslindy

I have a dog and 2 cats who sometimes snuggle with me

5:53 am

Scrabbler

I have 2 rabbits that do not like to be touched but they make me smile and laugh.

5:54 am

aslindy

I was just laughing at my cat, chasing a ball around a circle track

5:54 am

Scrabbler

Animals are funny. Sometimes human animals are funny too, especially the young ones.

6:02 am

aslindy

my husband is pretty funny, but he's basically a big kid ;)

6:03 am

Scrabbler

That's what most of my friends say.

6:06 am

Scrabbler

I passed halfway and must get ready for work. Stay warm.

6:06 am

aslindy

have a good day!

6:28 am

jmcnrick

good morning

6:29 am

aslindy

hi there

6:30 am

aslindy

how's it going?

6:30 am

jmcnrick

I was at my computer early enough to say hi to scrabs but was part of a feeding frenzy to get an assignment to make some money on the last day of a project

6:31 am

jmcnrick

got one so life (and earning a living) goes on

6:31 am

aslindy

that's good, then

6:32 am

jmcnrick

haha yep. I realized the other day that i was part of the gig economy before it got that name. . .

6:32 am

jmcnrick

how are things with you aslindy?

6:33 am

aslindy

things are ok. still organizing after our daughter moved out

6:33 am

jmcnrick

haha I am still doing that and the boy moved out 10 years ago!

6:33 am

jmcnrick

are you enjoying the change?

6:34 am

aslindy

in some ways, yes. her schedule was always changing, so mine was as well. now things can be a bit more regular

6:35 am

jmcnrick

well you always miss them some but having more control over things is good

6:35 am

aslindy

yep. and in a couple years when my husband retires, we'll be moving closer to our kids

6:36 am

jmcnrick

nice.

6:36 am

aslindy

they are about a 7 hour drive away now

6:37 am

jmcnrick

with technology things are way more connected than when I moved out of my parent's house

6:37 am

aslindy

very true

6:37 am

jmcnrick

I went to Europe for a vacation at 20 years old and I was effectively cut off

6:38 am

jmcnrick

my boy went to Ireland during the peak of the pandemic (please let that be true) and we spoke and texted and video called. . .

6:38 am

aslindy

even when I went off to school it was only one phone call a week, or letters.

6:39 am

aslindy

we do a lot of text chatting, and we also game together, so that's a fun way to stay connected

6:42 am

jmcnrick

he lives in a different neighborhood in DC now and we still text and video call!

6:43 am

jmcnrick

but I had lunch with him yesterday. my first time in a restaurant for 2 years.

6:44 am

jmcnrick

something about eating something freshly made by someone else on a plate and not a box that was appealing

6:44 am

aslindy

sounds nice

6:44 am

jmcnrick

it was. and tasty.

7:00 am

aslindy

11 left. the end is in sight!

7:01 am

jmcnrick

go aslindy go!

7:03 am

jmcnrick

Happy Australia Day!

7:06 am

aslindy

BzznBea

Good morning, welki.

7:19 am

welki

bea - so far, the sprouts are delicious (china rose radish and bok choy - just started cabbage yesterday)

7:20 am

BzznBea

I'm sure they are delicious. I may have to start some.

7:20 am

welki

it's nice to see something growing this time of year

7:24 am

jmcnrick

hi all

7:24 am

BzznBea

Hello, jmc.

7:25 am

welki

hi, jm

7:26 am

jmcnrick

ugh trying to persuade a client that letting a real estate agent "work with her" to set a price and then buy her house is NOT a good idea. really talk about self-dealing!

7:27 am

BzznBea

Seems unprofessional at the least.

7:29 am

jmcnrick

no kidding. but there are always people who want to "give you a deal" Let me set the price and then buy it and then you won't have two real estate commissions. You will "save" money

7:30 am

jmcnrick

sadly this client has ignored my advice again and again and I suspect she will this time, too.

7:31 am

jmcnrick

I swear some people walk around with "patsy" written on their brows.

7:31 am

jmcnrick

okay. rant over.

7:34 am

welki

no lefsa allowed

7:35 am

jmcnrick

what is lefsa?

7:35 am

welki

norwegian flatbread

7:36 am

MollyL

I think some people just have very little intelligence. Did you see the story about the couple who let their two year old play with the cell phone? The kid ordered $2,000 worth of furniture.

7:36 am

jmcnrick

ah!

7:37 am

jmcnrick

I love most flat breads

7:37 am

jmcnrick

haha they probably thought the phone was locked

7:38 am

MollyL

Nope. No lock on it. And she had an open shopping cart for furniture, which is how the kid just clicked and ordered.

7:39 am

jmcnrick

that was dumb then

7:41 am

jmcnrick

not to say I haven't ever done something dumb

7:42 am

MollyL

You?? No way ðŸ˜Š

7:53 am

jmcnrick

I know it is hard to believe. . . .

8:00 am

saanichcat

hello everyone, interesting conversation. Odd how many people seem to be begging to be duped.

8:02 am

jmcnrick

hi saan

8:03 am

saanichcat

hi jmc, your stories are fun! Off now to start the day, bye til tomorrow

8:04 am

jmcnrick

I watched a client lose all his savings after not following my advice. . . frustrating

8:04 am

jmcnrick

glad you enjoy saan hagd

8:17 am

mattygroves

In other news, I'm just not seeing the RE8s....

8:18 am

BzznBea

they go with the rhyming words of today.

8:19 am

mattygroves

As in plop plop fizz fizz oh what a ....

8:20 am

Shirlockc

death of the expert, it's a trend, more and more people are willing to listen to "someone" on the internet than a person who's invested time to learn about and be an expert in X

8:20 am

roncook

Could someone clue me for the two RE 8s please.

8:20 am

BzznBea

Just talking about them ron.

8:21 am

BzznBea

re + pt of seek

8:21 am

BzznBea

The other re8 is a word that rhymes with the last part of that word.

8:22 am

Shirlockc

got 4 words out of that clue! thanks much

8:25 am

roncook

nope nor seeing anything,

8:26 am

mattygroves

I looked so hard, but had to look again - when I found it, I battled so hard I had to battle again

8:26 am

BzznBea

re + so6.30

8:26 am

mattygroves

The root words are two that when I found them, I felt like a fish had slapped me - obvious when you read them, not so obvious when you seek them

8:27 am

roncook

got the 8/75 so far.

8:27 am

mattygroves

Top tip for anyone looking - the past tense of seek isn't seeked.

8:28 am

BzznBea

The 8.60 is one letter different.

8:29 am

MollyL

Why is it bothering me that anyone would think seeked is a word?

8:29 am

mattygroves

There are THREE 8s - please what are the stats for the not RE8s?

8:30 am

roncook

gottit thanks to all the clues.

8:30 am

MollyL

gh 8/55

8:30 am

mattygroves

Hah, Molly - just trying to give a sneaky clue ;)

8:31 am

mattygroves

GH? Eep!

8:31 am

BzznBea

plural of the gh6.27

8:32 am

roncook

Gh horse drawn asian carrriage.

8:32 am

mattygroves

Guess I'd better find the horse drawn carriage then

8:33 am

roncook

it ryhms with when you are wed.

8:33 am

mattygroves

Thank you - that helped! Found it

9:15 am

hurshy

when it comes to gh, i'm like... ghost, ghoul... i'm out

9:15 am

Shirlockc

good clue on the gh, would never have gotten that

9:16 am

BzznBea

Did you see ron's clue?

9:16 am

jmcnrick

same for me hursh but now I have an asian carriage. . . maybe I will remember it

9:16 am

hurshy

oh wait i also know ghetto!

9:16 am

hurshy

9:16 am

hurshy

sadly i still need 2 other G as well

9:17 am

BzznBea

There are three gh's

9:17 am

jmcnrick

good add hursh

9:17 am

hurshy

i have 3 gh

9:17 am

jmcnrick

hmm I only have 2

9:18 am

BzznBea

three go.

9:18 am

Shirlockc

i have 3 gh and need 2 more g also

9:18 am

hurshy

9:19 am

jmcnrick

9:19 am

Shirlockc

9:19 am

hurshy

9:27 am

BzznBea

Wordle today was fun.

9:28 am

Shirlockc

i was soooooo sure i have the word in 4, it was one or the other and i chose the wrong one, so it took 5

9:30 am

BzznBea

I'm off to make things happen. Until tomorrow.

9:34 am

jmcnrick

9:42 am

Aloyisius

11:29 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Nan!

11:30 am

bichon

Wish I could take a nap

11:36 am

cybernan

don't know what that o5 celtic language is -- in Scotland they speak Gaelic

11:38 am

Soodle

Og and 'Green Eggs and ***', Nan

11:39 am

cybernan

that's a new one for me, soodle - ty

11:40 am

cybernan

Is it a local dialect or an old Irish word for the Irish form of Gaelic?

11:54 am

bichon

ma 7/32, pls

11:54 am

zoozzoom

Husband and wife.

11:55 am

bichon

ty again Zooz

12:02 pm

cybernan

just looked the og word up -- a script rather than a language

12:06 pm

MollyL

It is an early Celtic alphabet. Each symbol corresponds to a letter.

12:09 pm

cybernan

language is an ever evolving thing and I think it is great when new words such as go6 and a a picture taken by a camera at the end of a long stick are added to our dictionaries --- what I don't like is the addition of words that are just sloppy spelling of something else

12:12 pm

cybernan

*!*~*!* hagd everyone -- need to get going after sleeping in so late!

12:58 pm
