6:28 am

ItalianGreyhound

Hi, Scrabbler - yes, much nicer grid today

6:30 am

Scrabbler

How are you doing, IG?

6:33 am

ItalianGreyhound

about to find out - dealing with a minor injury; otherwise fine

6:34 am

Scrabbler

Uh, oh. WHat happened?

6:37 am

ItalianGreyhound

just a muscle pull - working thru it

6:38 am

aslindy

hello all

6:39 am

Scrabbler

Oh, I hope it heals quickly, IG.

6:39 am

Scrabbler

Hi aslindy. Are you and Lavender healing well?

6:40 am

aslindy

Yes, thank you. I can wear most of my shoes, but not all of them. Lavender can be off leash, but we still keep an eye on her with Pipper so there's not too much horseplay. She still hops around some, but she's doing better.

6:41 am

aslindy

How's it going with your shoulder?

6:43 am

Scrabbler

Good news for both of you. I am doing well and started Phase 3 of rehab last week. Three months of strengthening to complete 6 months of rehab.

6:43 am

aslindy

that's excellent!

6:46 am

Scrabbler

I have been hiking with a 15-20 lb backpack. When we go on a long backpacking trek we carry 37-40 lbs, so I am working towards that in September.

6:48 am

aebmusica

wow Scrabbler......you're doing great.

6:50 am

aebmusica

I couldn't even wear a bra strap on my shoulder replacement for a looooongtime.

6:50 am

Scrabbler

I am being patient for the healing process.

6:57 am

Scrabbler

I put a foam bad under my bra strap on top of my shoulder.

6:58 am

aebmusica

it was the weight of the strap that hurt.

6:58 am

aebmusica

streed

6:58 am

aebmusica

sorry

7:00 am

Scrabbler

7:12 am

hokie carla

howdy folks. excitement before my coffee this morning. our new shower doesn't have the faucet on yet and it started spewing water. mr. homie is out of town doing a bike race and it took me 8 min of crawling in the crawlspace to find the water shutoff.

8:41 am

hurshy

:O

8:42 am

BzznBea

LOL! Happy Monday!

8:43 am

hokie carla

I know. and I almost stayed at my mom's house last night but decided to just drive home. thank goodness! but my brother tells me we're going to have to take the tile off that wall because all the water that went back there.

8:43 am

hurshy

:..(

8:44 am

hokie carla

and I'm pretty sure there was a brown recluse down there and now my head feels like there are bugs in my hair.

8:44 am

hurshy

:O :O :O :O :O

8:45 am

hokie carla

hurshy is only emoting today

8:47 am

BzznBea

i'm done here. having tummy issues again today. may go back to bed...

8:47 am

8:54 am

hokie carla

of course I'm going to have trouble with the bottom R

8:55 am

mael

all normal words, hokie :)

8:56 am

Shirlockc

utero is a word!

8:56 am

hokie carla

hmm. I have the one that I always miss (and did back in the day ðŸ˜œ)

8:57 am

hokie carla

I think maybe it's latin, shirl, not that that ever stopped enable. but maybe it needs to be with in (or is it en)

8:57 am

hurshy

in

8:57 am

hokie carla

hurshy's favorite sound is here

8:58 am

hurshy

:D

8:58 am

hurshy

and everybody's favorite french profanity

8:59 am

hokie carla

I thought that was sacre bleu!

9:00 am

hurshy

i'm not sure sacre bleu is bad enough to even count as profanity... i think it's like "darn" level

9:00 am

hokie carla

I only know it from the kathy reichs books

9:01 am

hokie carla

seemed like he was cursing with the context

9:02 am

hurshy

i mean, i just can't see "holy blue" being considered hugely offensive

9:02 am

hurshy

but i will ask my ex-husband if you like

9:03 am

hokie carla

well, since I don't know any french I didn't know the literal translation. I mean, I could guess the blue. and I guess sacre could be like sacred or holy.

9:03 am

hurshy

yeah

9:04 am

hokie carla

I wonder when I will ever stop trying ored

9:04 am

hurshy

i'll ask

9:04 am

hurshy

i have the Os if you need any help

9:05 am

hokie carla

if only pen were here or some canadians

9:05 am

hurshy

i need one of the two E's above that O

9:05 am

hokie carla

will see what I can do. started working up that col for some reason.

9:06 am

hokie carla

I currently just have one of those e's too

9:06 am

hurshy

volcano!

9:07 am

hurshy

not the name of the italian one but

9:07 am

hokie carla

funny, I was trying made up words like edopt

9:08 am

hurshy

ok my ex says sacre bleu is a way of substituting for "sacre dieu" (holy God) so it is indeed like darn instead of damn or gosh instead of God. inoffensive.

9:08 am

hurshy

to anyone but Ma Ingalls, that is.

9:11 am

mael

moolingwa

12:11 pm

hokie carla
