heh, I walk by a building with the tr9/54 about every week
1:47 am

i spose in a backhanded sort of way, it's imaginative to call your restaurant, "restaurant"
1:47 am

I bet the menu would have a lot of food called "food" on it.

I quite like Q words, high scoring and you get the first three letters.
5:16 am

yes, and because of old scrabble games, we tend to know them
5:18 am

You have a busy day today?

this isn't easy, but I don't have any time anyway
5:27 am
rubyfoo

neither husband nor son remembered today, talk abut :((
5:28 am
Sally-catlover

But that's good in a way ruby, means you don't dwell on it and it is in the past.
5:28 am
Sally-catlover

Just monkeyed the second 9 (had one) and there is absolutely no way I would have got that without morewords.
5:28 am
rubyfoo

but it's always in my mind!
5:29 am
rubyfoo

did you find the po5/12, a little monkey-like creature?
5:30 am
Sally-catlover

No, not yet.
5:30 am

I thought it had a th in the middle
5:32 am

I have 39 words; this is def hard!

Have it now.
5:33 am
Sally-catlover

Yup!

Hi lynxxx

I will try to clue it if you want.
5:39 am
rubyfoo

is the other 9 also tr?
5:40 am
rubyfoo

please.
5:40 am
Sally-catlover

No, it is na 9/54 but ends the same as the tr
5:40 am
Sally-catlover

(ie latin plural)
5:41 am
rubyfoo

ahah, place for swimming in ancient Rome?
5:42 am

thank you

rubyfoo

ty, lynx, that was my first 7!
5:44 am
rubyfoo

{{lynxx}}
5:44 am
Sally-catlover

Yes, I have those two, but I would say the em is a more normal word, whereas I have never used the na in idle conversation!
5:45 am
rubyfoo

I've decided not to say anything to my husband about today's significance...no point, really, it would just make him feel bad
5:46 am
lynxxx

A nice round 20 left...Goodnight ladies!
5:46 am
rubyfoo

good night, lynxx, and ty for the help
5:46 am
Sally-catlover

Perhaps when you have a drink before dinner, just raise a glass and say "here's to 20 years today". I really wouldn't read too much significance into other people not knowing the day, though. I'm sure I wouldn't remember for other people.
5:47 am
Sally-catlover

Goodnight lynxxx
5:47 am
rubyfoo

but your husband, your son!!!

whoops, again, guess I'm just tired
5:48 am
Sally-catlover

No ruby, I really would not remember. I remember the date of my husband's heart bypass and of his subsequent accident, but they were only last year and had to be remembered for hospital appointments, etc, but we don't say, hey it's an anniversary.
5:49 am
rubyfoo

you're probably right, sensible sally!! I guess I remember too many significant dates, probably significant only to me.....
5:50 am
rubyfoo

I guess I think it terms of length of survival, especially with cancer
5:50 am
Sally-catlover

It's wonderful that it's 20 years for you.
5:51 am
rubyfoo

that's how I feel, lucky every day
5:51 am

Sally-catlover

Have found 7 with that ending so far.
6:14 am

Let me think of a hint.

Same ending as the Waldorf Astor**
6:18 am

Good one Molly.

6:20 am
varumba

well i'll bear that in mind when i go through lickety's...... got 56 left and hitting a wall... so gonna have breakfast ;)

they have a new Waldork As***** in Orlando Fl, but I have to admit, I am more fond of anything older and/or original...
6:27 am
MollyL

I like older architecture too Red. It's the feel of something still around after so many years. That's why I love Annapolis. There are buildings there from the 1700s
6:27 am
redturtlehead

on that note, I have to go sample the 44 degree weather 7 C for those across the pond and up north....not so nice for florida!!!

7:27 am

My first thought when I looked at the grid today was "Where is the G for gonads?"
7:28 am
carleekat

mine was "I wonder how many reused words are hee its..only a 100 grid "
7:28 am
carleekat

thankfully only a couple
7:30 am
MollyL

It had gotten to the point where sitting down and typing in senor and senhor was a sure fire first two words.

hi, all. yesterdat was crazy. I was doing my normal day until late morning, when I tried to log in for work. I was unable to log in completely (I work from home via remote access 4 days per week, and was supposed to work from home yesterday. I called the office, and they said the IT folks were working on a computer refresh (new computers for 400-plus staff, and were working on mine at the time. They told me to call back in an hour if I still could not log in, which I did. At that point, ah hour or so into my shift, they told me I needed to come into the office to set up the remote access. So I had to leave, with no real notice, and go into the office. I had to track down the IT people, who were scattered around the office (which covers most of a city block) to help me get the remote access set up. The process took about ten minutes to complete. I finally got home and logged in for work at 3:45 PM. Luckily, I got paid for the full 8 hour shift.

in a year or two, the huge class sizes due to "downsizing" teaching staff will start to have a huge impact, and I think they will reverse course. At least I hope so... I know in my area a lot of teachers have put off retirement until the stock market rebounds. Hopeful there will be a lot of openings soon!

if society would say hairy legs was fine it would also work. that is my suggestion. when my mother grew up no one shaved legs or waxed them. they were fine as they were. who says hair on women is not good? hollywood came up with that idea. in some cultures hair is fine on women.
1:03 pm

my mother was born 1915 in the u.s. by the way. never shaved her legs ever.

2:22 pm

our friend is visiting from Miami and I made a feast and am so tired that I think I'm going to collapse!

3:13 pm
Babs1

What did yours do after college, Molly?
3:14 pm
MollyL

He went to a two year college. He tried to complete that at a four year college but ran out of time and money. He would really love a degree in graphic design, but he's still paying off student loans.
3:14 pm
MollyL

He's currently working a job that has nothing to do with art, rats.
3:16 pm
Babs1

you can see some of her stuff at izzylawlor.com...and mostly now just uploading photos to FaceBook...we had a site up before with some of her earlier work, but she now has taken over and of course doesn't want her earlier stuff. She's planning on focusing on fibers and illustration..she's very gifted in many artistic ways so difficult to predict what she'll end up doing..MICA also has a teaching path for the artists...also her work at poems.deviantart.com/gallery
3:17 pm
Babs1

she does henna body art, beaded and other jewelry, illustration, costuming, poetry, painting, sculpture, so far!

7:06 pm

what was your favorite part of the student teaching StidM?
7:09 pm
mummy

hi stid, yes had a lovely day, went to my sister's for dinner after the walk along the prom, it was good to see her and her family, we don't see them so often now they have moved
7:09 pm
stidmama

um... actually teaching was the best part. being with the children and helping them learn, watching them struggle with ideas and tasks and then "get it" and have that rush of accomplishment. It's the best feeling.
7:09 pm
Jellen

That sounds wonderful, stid!
7:10 pm
Jellen

Hello again...
7:10 pm
redturtlehead

I think you are a natural teacher!
7:10 pm

7:10 pm
redturtlehead

Mummy, that sounds very fun. I saw my sister last year in Nov. and this year am spending Xmas with them and I am really looking forward to it.
7:11 pm
stidmama

thanks red. I felt a LOT more confident once I figured out which end was up; the writing of the lesson plans (according to a different person's plan) was un-natural and un-comfortable. The rest was relatively easy, including "aligning to standards" -- that was actually kind of fun (in a geeky, tech-data kind of way)
7:11 pm
stidmama

no sister to spend time with. *sigh*
7:13 pm

7:14 pm

When our parents pass away it is usually left to one or other of the children to try and keep th family together. we are 'close' but distant by location, and also age, sister is 13 years younger, brother is 5 years older than me and lives in another part of the country.
7:14 pm
stidmama

gee, that's a huge age range.
7:15 pm
mummy

lost one sister when I was 16, little sister doesn't really rember her, sadly.
7:15 pm
redturtlehead

It is, imagine it's interesting.
7:15 pm
stidmama

that's too bad. a hard age to lose anyone, let alone a sibling
7:16 pm
redturtlehead

you know, I am seriously considering purchasing a new television, even though my TV is not broken...what is wrong with me?
7:16 pm
redturtlehead

I meant the age range, condolences to you on the loss of your sister, which had to be quite devestating.
7:16 pm
mummy

yes, still seems like yesterday, it would have been her birthday last week, wonderwhat she would have been like now!
7:17 pm
stidmama

RED! SNAP OUT OF IT!!! be serious. A NEW TV??? when there are all those choclits to acquire??? *exasperated mama look*
7:17 pm

7:17 pm
redturtlehead

I always wonder about that with Children, the potential to become is one thing that I love to watch...
7:18 pm
mummy

my biggest regret is that we only started to see eye to eye with each other only a few months before she died.
7:20 pm
redturtlehead

well, Mummy, you being a young person yourself...I think you can know that you probably did just what anyone would have done and been in that position. and nice that you did have some time to be with each other in understanding.

Trif - a Blue Moon is a brand of beer and also a girly cocktail
8:04 pm
Jacula

Here's the cocktail recipe: * 1 cup crushed ice
* 1/4 cup vodka
* 1/4 cup blue curaçao
* 1/4 cup whipping cream
* 2 tablespoons vanilla-flavored syrup (such as Torani)
* 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
* 1 tablespoon Cointreau or other orange-flavored liqueur
8:04 pm
Trifioso

thank you. does it at least come in a blue bottle? Oh, how I crave/hoard those....
8:05 pm
Trifioso

gawd almighty, it should come with a bag of insulin as well....
8:05 pm
Jacula

Trif - how funny - I love blue bottles, too. (The glass variety, not the flies!) They look so lovely on a windowsill with the light coming through them.
8:06 pm
Trifioso

I agree. have LOTS in my kitchen, and my mosaic over the stove features lots and lots of blue sea glass I have found
8:06 pm
Jacula

Trif - re the cocktail. I've never tried it. I HATE sweet drinks.
8:07 pm
Trifioso

there is a photo of the mosaic in my flickr photos, if you care to look - it's on the very first page, which is number 9, I think....

I'm just wondering if any of you who only know about toast done in an electric toaster, know what real toast tastes like? Or, if you're used to electric sandwich maker toasties, do you know what a proper gas-grilled toasted sandwich tastes like? My favourite filling for one of those is bacon, Brie and green grapes.

As for the bear... if he was trying to catch me for dinner, I'd rather catch him first! At least I'd make sure he was dead before I ate him. He wouldn't give me the same courtesy; he'd take a chunk or two out of me as I screamed and then dip into my abdomen to scoop out my nice warm guts, he'd probably take heart and brain last. Nasty death!

11:38 pm
Pinikula

probably the regular time...
11:39 pm

...and then you'll have 25 hours to finish it
11:39 pm
Pinikula

I think the time change happens "officially" in the wee hours of the mornin'
11:39 pm
jmcnrick

I was thinking about that jafro and since the flip is at midnight central time the extra hour comes later
11:39 pm
MPittore

11:39 pm
