7:56 am

mael

yikes

8:03 am

MollyL

Three S's = a lot of plurals = a lot of words

8:07 am

ChampFit

Just add an s on everything you type. Freebies!

8:11 am

MollyL

Somehow, that doesn't work

8:14 am

ChampFit

It worked for me on some I didn't think could be plural.

8:19 am

'morning folks

8:19 am

ChampFit

'morning!

8:19 am

mael

morning

8:20 am

welki

we brought home a rescue dog last night, an 8 year old american cocker spaniel - wish us luck :)

8:21 am

mael

awwww that's awesome welki. good luck! what's the pup's name?

8:21 am

ChampFit

That's awesome! I have 2 rescues, and they're the best!

8:21 am

welki

(we have an english cocker here - they seem to be tolerating each other pretty darned well)

8:22 am

rururocks

that's great.. just make sure no toys are on the floor for a while welki

8:22 am

welki

he comes with the name Tucker

8:22 am

ChampFit

Thank goodness. That's half the battle.

8:22 am

mael

I know a Tucker and he is an excellent dog

8:22 am

welki

everything's picked up, ru

8:23 am

rururocks

perfect

8:23 am

welki

he's had a rough time, i sure hope this works out

8:24 am

rururocks

My dogs had a rough time too but with patience it all works out.> Taking them for walks together will help a lot too

8:26 am

welki

should be interesting - he was just neutered two weeks ago. there's a laundry list of issues, but we've got time

8:27 am

rururocks

such a great thing saving a life .. good on you welki

8:28 am

welki

i wasn't thinking of a senior dog, but sometimes things just come up and seem right

8:29 am

rururocks

I adopted a sick 11 year old and she was one of the greatest dogs I've ever cared for.

8:31 am

welki

he came to me with ear drops, ear wash and *UT OH* vanectyl - i hope he's not an apoquel dog, and just reacting to all the changes he's gone through (including a food downgrade)

8:32 am

rururocks

probably allergic to one ingredient of that food

8:32 am

welki

he's had four 'homes' in the last month - i'm certain he's uber-stressed. we'll clean up his ears today, i've started him on eye drops (we think the smoke has irritated his eyes) and gradually switch diet

8:32 am

welki

yeah, that's what i think

8:33 am

rururocks

why four homes?

8:33 am

rururocks

foster homes?

8:33 am

periwinkle

good luck welki. I give you a lot of credit for adopting a dog with health issues

8:33 am

welki

the original owner, the rescue intake, the foster and us

8:34 am

rururocks

ah.. I can't imagine giving up a dog.. it's too cruel

8:34 am

periwinkle

and you too, ruru for adopting an older sick dog.

8:37 am

rururocks

thanks peri.. once a dog finds me, I'm a complete pushover

8:37 am

tornado warning today. it's so common now

4:16 pm

hokie carla

124 left here. haven't looked much more after the first pass.

4:17 pm

72 Temple Owl

i am okay but it's been very bad around here.

4:17 pm

penquis

stormy here, too...

4:17 pm

hokie carla

I heard. just super heat and humidity here. thought I heard thunder earlier but not so sure.

4:18 pm

72 Temple Owl

it's so localized. i was enjoying a concert outdoors last night while people were drowning.

4:18 pm

penquis

really pouring now....

4:18 pm

hokie carla

I think tornado warnings are more common now because they used to only issue the warning if there was a visual of one, and now they do if they see one on radar

4:19 pm

72 Temple Owl

wow pen, you have been hammered.

4:19 pm

penquis

the western part of the state was the worst area....

4:20 pm

72 Temple Owl

exactly. they see an echo indicating rotation. but all you need is ONE real one

4:20 pm

72 Temple Owl

the air is so heavy you can wear it.

4:20 pm

ChampFit

We're in a stretch of heat adisories, super high humidity, and the forecast is more of the same for at least a week. I try not to look at the forecast. Why bother? This too shall pass.

4:21 pm

ChampFit

Some lady baked a loaf of bread in her mailbox here. Went viral. No surprise!

4:21 pm

72 Temple Owl

wow

4:21 pm

Damnit! I've taken that supplement! Thx Molly

4:33 pm

MollyL

People are so weird. Who thinks it's a good idea to bake bread in your mailbox?

4:33 pm

penquis

it was a spoof....lady probably wanted publicity for her book...

4:35 pm

ChampFit

It's about how freakishly hot it is right now. She didn't want mailbox bread...who on earth would?

4:39 pm

penquis

well i am done for now....bye all...

4:46 pm

ChampFit

annoyed at how long it took me to get the ha8

4:49 pm

MollyL

Just as annoying as a ha8

4:49 pm

ChampFit

Ha!

4:58 pm

MollyL

Yeah well it's weird to me that someone would bake bread in their mailbox to make a point about the heat.

4:59 pm

ChampFit

Did you see her? It was entertaining for her.

4:59 pm

ChampFit

I could see my husband doing it. He's retired, and that would occupy him for a bit.

5:01 pm

ChampFit

Well done Steph Curry! He just won a golf tournament with several great shots. Hole in one today, and finished with a great putt. Fun to watch!

5:02 pm

ChampFit

Hole in one was yesterday, my bad.

5:03 pm

hokie carla

I saw him do a good putt the other day

5:05 pm

ChampFit

He eagled the last hole to win.

5:26 pm

penquis

it's too bad that Curry's win was soured by the yell of one of his fans when Mardy Fish was teeing off....

5:27 pm

penquis

hello again...

5:37 pm

ChampFit

No kidding! This tournament wants all of that interaction, but for goodness sake, have some sense!

5:38 pm

penquis

interference should have been called with a re-do ... with no consequences, now fans can just yell out and nothing will happen?

5:38 pm

ChampFit

Agree!

6:47 pm

penquis

i went through the list and there are 12 I could not monkey... :o(

6:50 pm
