bichon
Squirrels are a pain
6:53 am
Scrabbler
And the raccoons and the deer.
7:05 am
bichon
The deer eat from my compost pile
7:07 am

They eat my lilies and hostas so I spray Liquid Fence on every few weeks.
7:08 am
bichon
The deer came with mamma doe and were nursing from her
7:11 am
Scrabbler
I have mama and twins often. So cute.

ItalianGreyhound
I have ducks (mallards) and squirrels
7:15 am
Scrabbler
I have grey and red squirrels and chipmunks. The red squirrels are small.
7:16 am
bichon
A chipmunk lives in hole too small for a squirrel to get into
7:21 am
Scrabbler
Yes, good thing the chipmunk's stash is safe.
7:21 am
bichon
Then the squirrels chase each other up and down the linden tree

mael
did not expect sitz to not be a word, I have to say
8:21 am
cybernan
anyone who has had children should remember that one!
8:22 am
hurshy
i think because it's named after a person or a place or something, so it's like, a Sitz bath, not a sitz bath
8:23 am
mael
it's from the german, sitzen, to sit
8:23 am
penquis
never heard of it...or the proper noun...

HarryHood

8:57 am
cybernan
I will be shell shocked if I find that worm!
8:57 am
hurshy
it's sad tho, i heard from a woman who wants kids, but, has a family history of difficult pregnancies, complications, etc. so now she's not sure if she will try to have a child, because she is afraid that if anything goes wrong, they will let her die
8:58 am
rururocks
this is a despicable thing the court has done
8:59 am
cybernan
maybe the backlash will help the democrats in the upcoming election
9:00 am
rururocks
it really should but I'm worried about this next election
9:00 am
cybernan
although I noticed that in some of the ads, the candidates are calling themselves "conservative" instead of "Republican"

9:41 am
penquis

9:44 am
hurshy
WOW, Lewis Hamilton said he probably lost 3 KILOS in water weight over the course of today's race - that boggles the mind (apparently they have a drink thingamajig setup in the car but his wasn't working today!)
9:45 am
hurshy
is there an SM word in the grid?
9:46 am
rururocks
there isn't and S& M word either
9:46 am
MollyL
3 kilos is 6.6 pounds
9:46 am
hurshy
yeah - that's a LOT to lose in less than 2 hours
9:46 am
rururocks
i don't know who Lewis Hamilton is
9:47 am
hurshy
he's a rather legendary F1 racer
9:48 am
rururocks
oh.. I think car racing is stupid... and a stupid waste of fuel and resources
9:48 am
hurshy
it is, rather
9:48 am
hurshy
and football is stupidly dangerous
9:48 am
hurshy
and baseball is stupidly boring
9:48 am
rururocks
that's true too
9:49 am
rururocks
playoff baseball is not boring
9:49 am
hurshy
to me it is
9:49 am
rururocks
regular baseball is too slow
9:50 am
MollyL
For the formula one race drivers it is a combination of g forces, heat and the suits they wear. That much weight loss is not uncommon without proper hydration\
9:51 am
hurshy
yeah it's still crazy to think about tho!
9:51 am
rururocks
well he can't stop at shirl's house to get some
9:51 am
rururocks
time to head out.. hope you all have fun doing this grid
9:51 am
hurshy
down to EAR now!
9:52 am
hurshy
so if there's only one each of A7 and E7, then that would mean i need an R7... is that "if" correct?
9:52 am
MollyL
As for sports and car racing, everyone gets their boat floated by different things. That doesn't make those things "stupid".
9:53 am
