8:07 am

welki

morning, all. not quite a phantom, but a pattern that reminds me of crinolines

8:08 am

Scrabbler

Good morning. What are crinolines?

8:08 am

welki

those poky stiff slips that made dresses flare out

8:10 am

rururocks

(no comment)

8:11 am

welki

said the guy who shares half his name with ru paul

8:12 am

welki

haha - more than half

8:13 am

Scrabbler

I don't know about dresses.

8:15 am

welki

i'm no expert, that's for sure. now let's talk waders :)

8:15 am

Scrabbler

Or backpacking gear.

8:16 am

welki

we picked up a couple of cheap walking poles, we're not as nimble on slippery riverbeds as we used to be

8:17 am

welki

(i've never been nimble - i've always been clumsy)

8:18 am

welki

scrabs, we met a couple of gals in utah who were doing some serious hiking, even rented some waders and boots for river-crossing

8:19 am

welki

i can't imagine adding them to a backpack - even the lightest weight ones are pretty heavy

8:19 am

Scrabbler

When we hiked the Northville-Placid Trail in the Adirondacks last summer (138 miles long) we had a few river/creek crossings.

8:20 am

Scrabbler

One particular creek needs a bridge as the water is high and dangerous after rain.

8:20 am

rururocks

you hiked 138 miles?

8:21 am

Scrabbler

Yes. My sister and I did it in sections.

8:21 am

welki

i don't know about there, but here, you have to be careful which soles you choose for wading boots - vibram are preferred, since felt, if not dried properly, can introduce whirling disease (and other crap) into water sources

8:21 am

rururocks

whoa

8:21 am

welki

they're athletes, ru - i don't know how they do it

8:21 am

Scrabbler

I never knew, welki.

8:22 am

welki

as long as they're legal, i'll keep my felts and take care of them properly - they're lighter and less likely to slip

8:23 am

Scrabbler

It's beautiful in the wilderness, seeing ponds and lakes that can be reached by foot only. We use tents or primitive shelters.

8:24 am

welki

we're headed to northern saskatchewan late next week - debating on whether or not to take the boat. weather is still dicey up there

8:24 am

Scrabbler

Myxobolus cerebralis

8:25 am

welki

our backpacking tent was retired decades ago - you're a better camper than i am :)

8:25 am

welki

yes, scrabs

8:25 am

welki

i don

8:25 am

welki

i don

8:25 am

welki

shit

8:25 am

Scrabbler

There is a COVID expert in Saskatchewan. Dr Angela Rasmussen. I follow her on Twitter.

8:26 am

welki

i don't think either of us could get up off the ground :D

8:26 am

Scrabbler

We much prefer the lean-to life.

8:27 am

welki

i remember having to chip the ice off the sides of the tent.

8:27 am

welki

those days are long gone - now, it's heat and ac and ice for drinks :)

8:28 am

rururocks

for martinis?

8:28 am

welki

and manhattans

8:28 am

rururocks

ah hah

8:28 am

welki

(and i admit, i bought a custom mattress for the trailer, just like the one at home)

8:30 am

welki

mmmmm ... maybe i'll bring martini fixin's

8:31 am

welki

years ago, a girlfriend and i took the kids camping, and i brought a thermos of martinis ... and a guitar. we had a blast, until some guy yelled, 'shut up already, this ain't woodstock!'

8:31 am

welki

(he actually said, shut the f up already ... hahaha)

8:32 am

Meatball421

Ha!!!

8:32 am

rururocks

ha

8:34 am

Scrabbler

Haha.

8:39 am

rururocks

so much for my five mile hikes on the weekends

8:40 am

Scrabbler

Do whatever distance suits you.

8:46 am

welki

so i spend $25 for an oriole feeder, grape jelly and oranges. first oriole today and he's on every seed feeder in the yard - does he come to his personal buffet? nooooooo

8:46 am

Scrabbler

I have yet to see an oriole this year.

8:46 am

mael

hah. I have a bunch of orioles and they could not care less about their feeder.

8:46 am

mael

They just like the bird bath

8:47 am

Scrabbler

I have one of those.

8:47 am

Scrabbler

The Buffalo shooter is in court now. The media has been covering this story so well.

8:48 am

Meatball421

your bird is in the grid

8:48 am

Scrabbler

Oops, I have it. I will gladly run to the penalty box.

8:49 am

welki

<<-- joins scrabbler in the pb for blueberry muffins

8:49 am

mael

hah meatball

8:49 am

mael

I even had it already and forgot

8:49 am

mael

I'll head to the pb too

8:49 am

welki

me too, mael

8:50 am

Scrabbler

*unable to talk with pancakes stuffed in my mouth*

8:50 am

hokie carla

oh, thanks. was struggling to get more than 2 on that O.

8:56 am

rururocks

did someone tweet it to you hokie?

8:57 am

hokie carla

ru building a nest of puns again

8:57 am

mael

the puns are going to start flying now

8:58 am

rururocks

naw.. i'm just flocking around

8:58 am

Scrabbler

Don't ruffle your feathers.

8:58 am

hokie carla

anyone else try effing?

8:58 am

hempshow

i'm just winging it here, but i'll give it a try

8:58 am

Scrabbler

hempshow flew in!

8:58 am

mael

you're all good egss

8:59 am

Scrabbler

A little cracked though.

8:59 am

rururocks

I'm shell-shocked you all put the bird in the chat

8:59 am

rururocks

or should I say flipped the bird?

9:00 am

hokie carla

oh, I just found some more birds in the grid

9:00 am

mael

I have two more birds too

9:00 am

Scrabbler

I have the little yellow ones in my yard.

9:01 am

rururocks

<--just c's to go

9:01 am

mael

wow, ruru good work

9:01 am

hokie carla

certainly you'll find them

9:01 am

Scrabbler

I am off today to pack up for a backpacking trip in the Finger Lakes tomorrow.

9:01 am

hokie carla

I have 108 left

9:01 am

hokie carla

have a good one, scrabbs

9:02 am

Scrabbler

HIgh temps in the 80s though.

9:02 am

mael

enjoy scrabbs!

9:02 am

rururocks

isn't it cold up there ?

9:02 am

Scrabbler

Usual would be 60s-70s highs and 40s for lows. We will have 80s/60s.

9:03 am

mael

ugh. We're going to hit 99 on sunday here

9:03 am

hokie carla

eek

9:03 am

Scrabbler

Whoa.

9:03 am

rururocks

96 here yesterday

9:03 am

mael

just in time for us to be at the baseball game and roast

9:03 am

welki

predicted to be a whopping 61F here on sunday (this is our long weekend)

9:04 am

Kaplan the Magne

where is it going to be 99?

9:04 am

mael

MA

9:04 am

hokie carla

we are supposed to be 92 today and 97 tomorrow

9:04 am

mael

well, here in Concord it's forecast to be 99, I'm hoping that Boston is a little cooler with the sea breeze

9:04 am

hokie carla

92 Sat but only 89 on Sun

9:04 am

mael

ugh hokie, that's no fun

9:04 am

Kaplan the Magne

NO. That's where I am!

9:04 am

hokie carla

ha, I am in Concord too

9:05 am

Kaplan the Magne

Somerville

9:05 am

mael

hah, I lived in Somerville for ten years

9:06 am

mael

other concord, I assume? :)

9:06 am

hokie carla

yes

9:06 am

mael

in NC?

9:06 am

Kaplan the Magne

everyone in the Boston area "Used to live in Somerville," It's changed a lot.

9:06 am

hokie carla

but it's funny because I was about to say "here in Concord" and then your post starting that way popped up.

9:07 am

hokie carla

yes, NC

9:07 am

mael

I only moved 7 years ago, Kaplan. Davis Sq is still great :)

9:08 am

Kaplan the Magne

And expensive. That's my ward.

9:08 am

mael

I go back pretty much once a week (well, to Somerville then porter, because the lesley food court has the best ramen around)

9:09 am

mael

that it is, kaplan

9:09 am

mael

that's funny hokie

9:09 am

mael

what a coincidence

9:09 am

Kaplan the Magne

We used to eat there when the kids were little But at heart, I'm a Flushing girl.

9:10 am

Kaplan the Magne

I had style, I had flare, I was there...

9:10 am

mael

Flushing in Queens?

9:10 am

Kaplan the Magne

Oh, yeah.

9:10 am

welki

i lived in jamaica from 1960-1972

9:10 am

welki

(before then, brooklyn)

9:11 am

hokie carla

I have never lived anywhere in NY or Boston ðŸ˜

9:11 am

Kaplan the Magne

Jamaica Queens of course.

9:11 am

welki

yep

9:12 am

Kaplan the Magne

Is there anywhere else to live?

9:12 am

mael

as opposed to Jamaica Plains, in Boston :)

9:12 am

rururocks

I lived in Syossett for a while

9:12 am

Kaplan the Magne

Q17 bus line. I am writing an essay about it.

9:12 am

hokie carla

or the actual country of Jamaica in the Caribbean

9:13 am

Kaplan the Magne

Syosset- that's "out on the Island" isn't it?

9:14 am

welki

not quite as far out as the big duck

9:14 am

Scrabbler

We have Towns of Boston and Concord here in the Buffalo area.

9:14 am

rururocks

not too far past Jamaica

9:14 am

Kaplan the Magne

A lot of Jmaaicans live in Jamaica . That is from the Island but settled in Queens. Flushing is now mostly Mandarin.

9:15 am

Kaplan the Magne

I think there's a Flushing in Michigan or somewhere, but they have no right.

9:16 am

hokie carla

ok, I'm struggling with the 2nd col E's. are these weird words?

9:17 am

welki

not for babble

9:17 am

mael

I have three from that tile, they're all normal

9:18 am

hokie carla

enlime - to add to your drink, such as a mojito

9:19 am

hokie carla

ok, found a 3rd on the one and the bottom one so moving on

9:19 am

mael

I endorse that word

9:20 am

hokie carla

oh, finished the one now

9:20 am

hokie carla

hoes

9:20 am

hokie carla

oops

9:20 am

hokie carla

I was not calling anyone here a hoe

9:20 am

hokie carla

or ho

9:20 am

mael

no need for insults, hokie! lol

9:23 am

hokie carla

bottom row gray and HOET! but 68 left.

9:24 am

Scrabbler

I finally found the sheep. Duh.

9:25 am

Scrabbler

feif

9:25 am

Scrabbler

Not a word.

9:25 am

rururocks

it is for dyslexics

9:26 am

Scrabbler

I flipped it.

9:27 am

hokie carla

did you finish, ruru?

9:27 am

Sophie512

Hello all. Too big for me to finish today. But I always enjoy the chat and hearing about different places. High today is 91 in N'ville. :)

9:27 am

hokie carla

hey sophie

9:27 am

Scrabbler

Hi Sophie.

9:29 am

Scrabbler

I passed halfway so I am done. Enjoy the day.

9:29 am

Uneaixoise

Bye, Scrabs!

9:30 am

Sophie512

That's what I'm going for, too, Scrabbler!

9:30 am

welki

bye, scrabs

9:32 am

hokie carla

I saw a guy with a Tom Selleck mustache yesterday. I guess the millennials are bringing that back?

9:33 am

Sophie512

some things should be brought back, unless, of course, it's Tom Selleck or Sam Elliott.

9:34 am

hokie carla

I've been rewatching Magnum lately. what a show.

9:36 am

rururocks

as long as they stop wearing a man bun i'm ok with the moustache

9:36 am

Sophie512

you're right man bun is the worst

9:38 am

hokie carla

we've been over this. mael loves the man bun and the rest of us hate it.

9:38 am

mael

I disagree! but I'm a baby gen xer :

9:38 am

mael

lol

9:38 am

mael

hokie remembers

9:38 am

mael

let's be clear, there's man buns and then there's man buns

9:38 am

hokie carla

I wasn't sure if you were gen x or not

9:39 am

Sophie512

whoops, sorry, didn't mean to drag up a previous conversation

9:39 am

MollyL

Male buttocks are fine. Men who wear their hair in buns are not fine.

9:39 am

Sophie512

bahaha

9:39 am

mael

I appreciate both

9:40 am

hokie carla

maybe they wanted to be ballerinas

9:40 am

mael

I guess I'm technically a millennial now, they've reclassified the lot of us

9:40 am

MollyL

Every time I see a guy with his hair in a bun I think "Do you know how stupid you look?"

9:40 am

Sophie512

Mael, I just looked at your profile....you could be my child, so you see why I'm not crazy about the man bun

9:40 am

mael

an old millennial or a very young gen xer

9:41 am

mael

I've got white hair, I have a hard time feeling young these days :)

9:41 am

hokie carla

just googled - one source said gen x is through 1980

9:41 am

mael

molly really objects to the man buns

9:42 am

mael

I was born in 85. We were gen xers until they named millennials, then dumped us all in there

9:42 am

MollyL

I'm not fond of women with crew cuts either, so I guess that makes me somewhat traditional.

9:42 am

hokie carla

yeah, you're a millennial

9:43 am

mael

I appreciate all manners of hairstyles on all manners of people. Not that there aren't those who look better than others, obviously

9:44 am

hokie carla

one of my aunts had a crew cut type cut in her older years, with silver hair. she rocked it. but yeah, not for everyone.

9:44 am

mael

but sophie, no worries! I can talk about buns all day

9:44 am

mael

cinnamon buns too

9:45 am

hokie carla

hot cross buns - has anyone ever actually eaten that? I remember from a kids song or poem when I was a kid thinking, what is that.

9:46 am

MollyL

Some things just fall into the "oh honey, NO" category. Like the guy I saw once who was wearing sling-back Crocs.

9:46 am

MollyL

Hot cross buns are an Easter thing. Yeast buns with a cross of sugar icing on them.

9:47 am

Sophie512

I love how the convo goes back to food :)

9:47 am

MollyL

That kind of question surprises me from Carla The Google Queen

9:47 am

72 Temple Owl

as a wise woman once said: i'd rather have buns of cinnamon...

9:48 am

hokie carla

well, my question was has anyone here ever eaten them and then I said I wondered as a kid.

9:48 am

72 Temple Owl

(vs.buns of steel)

9:48 am

rururocks

I've eaten hot cross buns at holiday dinners

9:48 am

72 Temple Owl

not i . i do not like raisins

9:49 am

mael

there's a place for raisins

9:49 am

mael

and that place is in cinnamon raisin bread or strudel

9:49 am

rururocks

I rarely eat raisins too.. i never think of them

9:50 am

hokie carla

I generally like raisins

9:50 am

72 Temple Owl

i would buy raisin bran and pick them all out.

9:50 am

hokie carla

I like them yogurt or chocolate covered, plus in certain baked goods.

9:50 am

MollyL

Oatmeal without raisins is joyless. So are oatmeal cookies without raisins.

9:51 am

Sophie512

TO, me, too

9:51 am

72 Temple Owl

i will eat the golden ones in scone bread or bread and butter pudding. that's it.

9:51 am

rururocks

oh.. oatmeal cookies for sure

9:51 am

mael

oatmeal needs nuts

9:52 am

origami

I love raisin bread.

9:52 am

rururocks

nuts will kill me.. I'd rather have joyless oatmeal

9:52 am

72 Temple Owl

only if they're drakes. well, the old drakes, which , as many other things. are sold and not the same

9:52 am

72 Temple Owl

the old drakes oatmeal cookies, which ny people will remember, had pureed raisins in them

9:53 am

72 Temple Owl

for moisture.

9:53 am

rururocks

i never had a drake

9:53 am

hokie carla

I was like, is she talking about ducks?

9:53 am

72 Temple Owl

they were the best. a stack of five or three, at times. chewy.

9:54 am

rururocks

I do like chewy cookies

9:54 am

72 Temple Owl

carla, google drakes. they made a famous coffee cake single serve. grew up on them

9:55 am

MollyL

Devil Dogs

9:55 am

72 Temple Owl

floor is no doubt dry by now, time to put the kitchen back together. happy babbling.

9:55 am

MollyL

They are a Tastycake equivalent

9:55 am

72 Temple Owl

and ring dings.

9:55 am

72 Temple Owl

nue

9:55 am

72 Temple Owl

bye

9:57 am

Sophie512

my mom tried to make me eat them,,,,, I buried them in the back yard.... she probably saw me, because she never tried to force them on me again...

9:57 am

hokie carla

well, I'm going to walk Winston before it hits 91. still 75 now. 59 for later. TTFN

9:58 am

Sophie512

2:17 pm

moolingwa

Could be read the wrong way...maybe potential customers thought they were there to screw them up

2:18 pm

not the best company name IMO

2:18 pm

Apparently there still is an Effin Computers

I have 2 L's left so mine could still come true

4:57 pm

Soodle

Hey friends. Just wondering if anybody has heard from Zoozoom recently?

4:57 pm

moolingwa

I hope so hoke...I hope that you will avoid the despair and grief that I went through

4:57 pm

hokie carla

I haven't in months

4:59 pm

moolingwa

not sure I've seen him since I came back

4:59 pm

hokie carla

oh, just found a big cat, so maybe not. doesn't seem to be a pair of Ls

4:59 pm

Sophie512

I have not, and no Cyber Nan lately

4:59 pm

moolingwa

lame

5:01 pm

moolingwa

inhelo - to circle someone in a helicopter

5:01 pm

Soodle

Thanks Carla. Hopefully no news is good news re Zoom. Sophie, I know Nanâ€™s husband was quite ill. I hope all is ok with them.

5:02 pm

hokie carla

sophie, I fear the worst for nan's husband. sounded like he was in hospice care and the kids were coming in. she said she may be gone a little while.

5:03 pm

hokie carla

and I really do worry about zooz, soodle. I hope he is getting help.

5:05 pm

Soodle

Me too Carla. Iâ€™m extraordinarily fond of Zooz.

5:05 pm

hokie carla

me too

5:06 pm

joym999

Yeh, we should be concerned about both of them. Zoom really needs some help badly.

5:06 pm

Soodle

I also hope Nan hasnâ€™t suffered a loss.

5:07 pm

joym999

I'm afraid Nan's loss is inevitable from everything she said. ðŸ˜¥

5:07 pm

hokie carla

yep

5:08 pm

Sophie512

Yes, Joy, that's what I thought, too. I'll just keep praying for both of them.

5:08 pm

ch1212

I have been keeping an eye on the obits where zooz lives, and thankfully no mention. My hope is he is still playing and just being quiet. He did that on a different, similar occasion if I recall. Keeping him in prayers, and Nan too.

5:09 pm

hokie carla

ch, I have checked them out from time to time too. glad I'm not the only one. ðŸ˜¬

5:09 pm

72 Temple Owl

and mlfan.

5:09 pm

72 Temple Owl

long time no see

5:09 pm

rururocks

nan has family in to see her husband who isn't doing well

5:09 pm

hokie carla

I do fear the worst for mlfan too

5:09 pm

72 Temple Owl

yes i do as well.

5:10 pm

Soodle

Hey ch1212. Thanks for your email. Well done for keeping an eye on things.

5:10 pm

rururocks

I also checked the obits on Isle of Wight too CH.. nothing there

5:11 pm

Soodle

Oh no. Is mlfan unwell?

5:11 pm

ch1212

I hope he sees our posts and realizes how much he means to us.

5:11 pm

hokie carla

she disappeared about 7 or 8 mos. ago, soodle.

5:13 pm

Sophie512

hmmmmm who was the African American lady retired lawyer DC ?

5:13 pm

rururocks

mysterweous

5:14 pm

rururocks

or something like that

5:14 pm

rururocks

I think MLF has been kidnapped by ISIS and is a prisoner in Sudan

5:14 pm

Soodle

Gosh. The internet is great & we all seem to be so connected, but when push comes to shove, none of us have a clue how to make actual contact with actual humans.

5:15 pm

hokie carla

well, someone here did call the police for zooz

5:15 pm

moolingwa

the last time I remember talking to MLFAN I think she was having problems with her account...she had been in the chat less too...hopefully just lost interest

5:16 pm

rururocks

trif.. did.. she probably saved his life or contributed to saving it

5:16 pm

Sophie512

is MLF the lawyer

5:16 pm

rururocks

the lawyer's call name was mysterweous

5:17 pm

hokie carla

no, MLF was not

5:17 pm

Soodle

I think that might have been the time before last Ru. PoorZooz has had a couple of episodes.

5:18 pm

rururocks

I have a feeling MLF wouldn't pass the Bar exam

5:18 pm

moolingwa

she did get picked on a bit by a certain person

5:18 pm

rururocks

no.. I think she saved him this time too Soodle. He did try to kill himself but then the police showed up

5:18 pm

hokie carla

there was a retired lady that wrote articles for the quakers or something. JLM?

5:19 pm

rururocks

oh.. you mean JMnRick

5:19 pm

rururocks

she's busy doing taxes for clients

5:19 pm

hokie carla

I think that is who Sophie is thinking of. she was a retired lawyer

5:20 pm

rururocks

I forgot Je was an attorney

5:21 pm

Soodle

If thatâ€™s the case, Ru, I nominate Trifioso as Babbler of the decade. Any person who contributes to rescuing another deservesb

5:22 pm

ch1212

Definitely JMcnrick. It's on her profile too about being an attorney.

5:22 pm

rururocks

yep.. she's a hero in my book too

5:23 pm

hokie carla

but yes, I haven't seen her in a few months either (JM)

5:23 pm

hokie carla

and yes, trif is a hero.

5:24 pm

hokie carla

also I think Molly contacted Dr. God who tracked zooz down by IP address for the police.

5:24 pm

rururocks

that was heroic also

5:24 pm

Soodle

....deserves acknowledgement. (The fact that I have met Trif in real life & know that sheâ€™s an extraordinary person in no way influences my nomination ðŸ¤—)

5:26 pm

ch1212

Trif has my vote too â™¥â™¥

5:30 pm

joym999

Yes, I remember Trif went all out to help zoozoom. I sure hope he's ok.

5:31 pm

rururocks

I do too. he's a very kind man.

5:37 pm

joym999

Am I senile because I cannot find senile?

5:37 pm

Soodle

Heâ€™s not just kind. He is tolerant. Heâ€™s gentle. He has a lot on his plate with elderly, demanding parents. But he always presented on Babble in good humor. COME BACK ZOOZ. You are missed!!

5:37 pm

hokie carla

I tried senile this morning and it didn't take

5:38 pm

ch1212

5:38 pm

hokie carla

I am starting to worry about my mind these last few days of babble and spelling bee. can't find anything.

5:39 pm

5:39 pm

joym999

5:40 pm

hokie carla

I do not have, ch, and not seeing it

rururocks

I'm tolerant too :D

5:40 pm

ch1212

5:40 pm

72 Temple Owl

5:40 pm

moolingwa

5:40 pm

joym999

the clue I found for the NI that helped me is "misspelt German philosopher"

5:40 pm

hokie carla
