1:00 am
jillibus

flosey -- we had Great Danes tracking in on shag wall-to-wall (no problem), and wearing through the finish on pegged oak hardwood in another room.

7:57 am

Yeah? Do you think there is a set of tiles, not just random letters? I'll accept that answer.
7:57 am
carleekat

i think there likely is kaps
7:57 am

it must be the original scrabble set, hence so many e's and t's available

Ian Fleming had his whimsical side. Well, except for that eerie child catcher. But he was probably influenced by Roald Dahl's script writing.
8:02 am
Kaplan the Magne

If the scrabble grid has only one j, none of these words could be used.
8:03 am

you could use the blank, hopefully to make a bingo

hi folks - Molly just read back and saw your post about the commencement - ugh! that's so sad!(and that's my alma mater, too) I always wonder - how many people actually read that and missed it? it's the fault of more than one person, that's what's so depressing

hi all
11:42 am
jmcnrick

it is so easy to miss a typo like that--you read what you expect
11:43 am
JBV

I know jmc, but proofreaders are supposed to be more careful - read backwards, from bottom to top, etc...
11:43 am
jmcnrick

that is why i tell my staff to read things outloud
11:43 am
jmcnrick

they may not have even thought to give the cover to a proofreader
11:43 am

depressing, as I said
11:44 am

lack of attention to detail, carelessness, you might even find some who will say it's not important, etc.

but putting in perspective not as depressing as the Joplin HS graduation the day before the tornado

since hubby + i have a 4-day weekend, ive been tasked for planning activities for us.
i think im kicking butt.
;)
2:01 pm
uusue2

what are you planning, eva?
2:04 pm
EvaNadine

friday, we are going to go strawberry-picking, then to a movie at the Drafthouse, where you can get dinner and drinks.
2:04 pm
EvaNadine

saturday, we are going to the farmers market, then i got us tickets for the International Spy Museum and the Crime and Punishment Museum.
2:05 pm
EvaNadine

sunday, we are going to do something active (tennis/biking/basketball/swimming/rol
lerblading), then we are going to a street festival that also has a free concert, featuring Parliament!
2:05 pm
EvaNadine

Produce, Spies and Punishment. Hmmm.
2:08 pm
EvaNadine

Eva, you and your husband are in my hall of fame for hiking through hip deep snow to get beer. Along with a guy I work with who figured out that four beers will fit in a 7-11 Extra large big gulp cup (for smuggling onto the "no drinking" beach)
2:24 pm
EvaNadine

So apparently my son has decided that he wants a chinchilla. WHAT??????????????
3:17 pm
JBV

LOL, I stopped in on "chinchilla" - they used to be stylish (for coats) very non-PC now :)
3:20 pm
uusue2

I don't think that's what he has in mind, jbv :-)
3:21 pm
uusue2

and they are apparently much more labor-intensive than, say, gerbils.
3:21 pm
Kazzer99

thx, molly, didn't have that one - the 6 I did have are all pretty normal words
3:57 pm
jmcnrick

pieces of dirt i think is the third one
3:57 pm
MollyL

If you add an "ie" to that word, it refers to trees in Ireland with bits of fabric tied to them. They are prayer trees and the bits of fabric represent those that are prayed for. Somewhere in Ireland, there is a bit of fabric tied to a cl5ie tree for me, courtesy of my sister.
3:57 pm
jmcnrick

ne**o molly
3:57 pm
jmcnrick

I didn't know mata made it to ireland
3:58 pm
MollyL

She gets around. : P

lol
3:59 pm

Sue, it's hazy, hot and humid here today. Perfect weather for ice cold beer. JMC, Topper just said there are tornados getting ready to touch down in Cumberland. EEK.
3:59 pm
jmcnrick

yikes! *puts on foil hat*
4:00 pm
cosdem

i wonder if someday soon we'll be seeing some americans wear foil hats because harold camping or glenn beck told them to
4:00 pm
MollyL

*Gets out tin foil for hat assembly*
4:01 pm
jmcnrick

if glenn beck says to do it I will have to stop
4:01 pm
cosdem

camping now says he was wrong. the rapture will be oct. 21st lol
4:01 pm
jmcnrick

looks like the storms are moving north and not east molly so i am safe in DC
4:02 pm
jmcnrick

Martinsburg and Hagerstown look like they are having a tough go of it
4:02 pm
uusue2

I have a colleague in the biology department who is convinced that all the cell phones in her building are emitting enough energy to give her a rash. I considered suggesting a foil hat for her but restrained myself.
4:02 pm
jmcnrick

yeah i heard. but rapture was so last week. I doubt he will get the media buzz as much this time
4:02 pm
MollyL

Ooo Sue, tell her to read Stephen King's "Cell".
4:03 pm
jmcnrick

hmmm seems she needs some remedial physics
4:03 pm
uusue2

I think so :-) I sent her some references and tried to be gentle about it. haven't heard back from her.
4:03 pm
jmcnrick

uh molly isn't that going in the wrong direction?
4:03 pm
MollyL

Oops, ex-in-laws are near Martinsburg. Must check in on them later.
4:04 pm
MollyL

Well, Cumberland to WV would be west, wouldn't it?
4:04 pm
uusue2

dunno about media buzz for Camping, jmc; the last time he predicted the end of the world was in the mid-1990s sometime. this one is a lot sooner so he might get more attention.
4:04 pm
jmcnrick

yeah it looks like a long night for them
4:05 pm
jmcnrick

no because a lot of the buzz came from the internet and part of it was the lack of world news at the moment
4:05 pm
cosdem

there were reports of a lot of murder/suicides due to camping's prediction.
4:05 pm
jmcnrick

October is a busier month newswise
4:06 pm
jmcnrick

i am sorry cosd i simply do not believe that
4:06 pm
MollyL

Those news reports made me sad. : (
4:06 pm
cosdem

i can give you a news article if you like :)
4:06 pm
uusue2

dunno about a lot but there certainly seem to have been a few
4:06 pm
cosdem

even one murder is a lot for me
4:07 pm
jmcnrick

a few i can believe but clearly they didn't understand the concept if they committed a murder/suicide
4:07 pm
uusue2

and also people who gave away all their money, especially to Camping and for billboards - they must be in a tough spot now
4:07 pm
jmcnrick

being dead would change the outcome of the rapture
4:07 pm
cosdem

excellent point
4:07 pm
MollyL

Whatever happened to focusing our collective soul on the positive? Did people learn nothing from "Ghostbusters"? Please join me in a chorus of "Your Love, Is Lifting Me Higher".
4:07 pm

YOUR LOVE is lifting higher, high than before
4:08 pm
uusue2

I've heard the same thing in connection with the whole 2012 nonsense - people committing suicide or killing themselves and their children because they don't want to live through it
4:08 pm
MollyL

That's it. Sing it JMC!!!
4:08 pm
uusue2

sigh
4:08 pm

4:09 pm

lol go back and read it again uu
4:10 pm
Kazzer99

everybody sing and ignore all the soothsayers and religous nuts - no body has ever seen the future and no one will - at least not if they live in our dimensions - so my attitude why worry about it - take each day as it comes with all it joys and woes and use them to weave the pattern of your live
4:10 pm
uusue2

just give me another beer, sooner or later it will sound fine :-)
4:10 pm
MollyL

It's the soul of the singer, not the lyrics that count. Ask any Karaoke participant. : P
4:10 pm

i keep trying to find the J word :-(

4:13 pm
uusue2

and I'm with you, kazz (although I am still trying to figure out which category my son's proposed pet chinchilla fits into)
4:13 pm
Trifioso

it's so funny! This guy is trying to teach his 81 yo dad to use the computer, and set him up a twitter account, but told him it was a search engine. So whatever he tweets is what he is searching
4:13 pm
cosdem

the last ho 5/16 please?
4:14 pm
Kazzer99

a dear little cuddly ball of grey fluff - i would love one
4:14 pm

4:16 pm

4:16 pm
Trifioso

okay, gotta run - secondo has arrived. Chaos to follow....
4:16 pm

4:19 pm
MollyL

Your sister is a reporter? Interesting women in your clan JMC.
4:19 pm

she was with the post before it sucked and now she is with politifacts funny as hell

I have read the Post all my life. And become enamored with some of it's writers. Bob Levy and Donna Britt are two of my favorites.
4:22 pm
Kazzer99

and hubby has said that they will do all the grooming themselves if they are happy
4:23 pm

he does indeed, jmc
4:27 pm
MollyL

So many stupid words in today's grid.
4:27 pm
jmcnrick

then i am surprised it is a discussion--call me narrow minded but if i think i am going to end up with taking care of an animal i think i gets veto rights over what lives in my home
4:28 pm
MollyL

The gy 7 and et 7 are my top two contenders.
4:28 pm
jmcnrick

that is why i have a cat that my son SWORE he would take care of
4:28 pm
uusue2

my thinking exactly, jmc; i just haven't talked to him about it yet
4:28 pm
MollyL

*Adds an AMEN SISTAH to what JMC said*
4:28 pm

hmm i will have to find them so i can scoff with you molly

oohhh, nice, molly!!
4:31 pm

hi lynxxx
4:52 pm
uusue2

72 left for me
4:52 pm
jmcnrick

go uu go!
4:53 pm
lynxxx

37 but gonna list real soon
4:53 pm
uusue2

just been calculating retirement options - I max out in less than three years!
4:55 pm
jmcnrick

i can't retire until i am 72
4:55 pm
jmcnrick

12 years
4:55 pm
jmcnrick

go** for you uu!
4:57 pm
Kazzer99

i still have 7 years to go but i will lose 35% to take it early but its a win win situation for me as i will be hopelgully debt free by october (get a lump sum) and my pension will still accrue
4:59 pm
lynxxx

35% tax?
5:00 pm
uusue2

nice, kazz!
5:02 pm
inge

DO
5:02 pm
jmcnrick

great kazz
5:02 pm
lynxxx

I got a lump sum -redundancy - about that age - it was wonderful not to have a mortgage around my neck after about 25 years. Great feeling
5:03 pm
lynxxx

hi Inge
5:04 pm
jmcnrick

i just refinanced to reduce the payment and have another 28 years to go to pay it off :-(
5:04 pm
uusue2

I would love that, lynxxx!
5:04 pm
jmcnrick

but i am paying an extra payment each year which should reduce the payments to 18 years
5:04 pm
uusue2

my primary mortgage will be paid of in 8 years but the second I keep adding to so who knows how long that will take :-/
5:05 pm
jmcnrick

that does sound wonderful lynxxx
5:05 pm
jmcnrick

i only have the one mortgage
5:06 pm
uusue2

*off
5:06 pm
Kazzer99

no one of the conditions of taking my pension before i am 60 is losing about 5% for every year off 60 I am do ay your pension was £10k a year you would only get £6.5k but the big advantage of all of this is the fact that I will still be get 75% of my salary plus my pension and a lump sum and the lump sum starts to accrue again until i acutally retire. The only conditions are that the new salary and pension cannot be more than you earn now so I will have to lose a little bit of pension
5:07 pm
uusue2

nominally the second is also a 15-year loan but with the additions I am not sure
5:07 pm
uusue2

nice, kazz! Max here is 80% and I will reach that in less than 3 years.
5:07 pm
jmcnrick

that sounds like a pretty nice deal
5:08 pm
uusue2

so after that my pension would only go up if my salary goes up, which has happened only occasionally over the past several years
5:08 pm
jmcnrick

i can take my hubby SS in two years and leave mine to grow until i am 72 (or whatever the age will be then to max out)
5:09 pm
jmcnrick

not likely to happen this year is it uu? things still tough all around
5:09 pm
uusue2

anyway I have also clarified the chinchilla, apparently this is something my son and his (nutty) girlfriend came up with, but they are not thinking of doing it any time soon.

All these retirement rules! We used to have the same here - you needed to be a financial wizrd to understand them. Happily they simplified them heaps here a couple of years ago
5:10 pm
uusue2

6:21 pm

a very early morning to you as well ((Sprite))
6:21 pm

hi Mom :) Ain't raising adolescents an adventure!
6:22 pm
Mom

it is a great life if you don't weaken
6:23 pm
Mom

I am glad those days are behind me, they are now 26 and 23
6:23 pm
Mom

how old is your son, Sprite? I know he just had a birthday
6:23 pm
sprite

won't weaken, I promise.
6:24 pm
Mom

:-) I know you won't
6:24 pm
Mom

just a saying around here
6:24 pm
sprite

he just turned 15. Alcohol is not allowed until 16, and we think that is rather young still. And no smoking allowed at all.
6:24 pm
Mom

wow. 18 to smoke here and 21 to drink
6:25 pm
Mom

state rules not ours
6:25 pm
sprite

much much better
6:25 pm

Hi all. Just starting and see you are here Sprite and Mom. Good to see you both.

6:25 pm
stidgmere

ty
6:26 pm
Mom

do you have a smoking age where you live, Sprite?
6:26 pm
sprite

he has friends who offer him cigarettes and beer. I told him we can do one of two things: forbid him to hang around with those friends, or trust him to be able to say no.
6:27 pm
Mom

I hope he chose the trust option.
6:28 pm
sprite

hm not really, Mom. It is seriously discourage for all ages. No ads, warnings on the packages, and for the youth campaigns that make clear smoking isn't cool, just stupid.
6:28 pm
cybernan

st 6/33 please?
6:28 pm
sprite

he chose the trust option and in a way that gave me faith he means it.
6:28 pm
cybernan

hi stidgemere
6:28 pm
Mom

Hi Nan, sorry I don't have it.
6:29 pm
stidgmere

Hi cyber! How are you enjoying the Spring? Is it like here in the NW, almost here and yet too wet to plant?
6:29 pm
Mom

oh good Sprite. I hope this is the last time you have to have this talk
6:30 pm
Mom

got it nan
6:30 pm
cybernan

I've done what planting I am doing and keeping my fingers crossed for nights that aren't too cold
6:30 pm
sprite

also told him that he must tell us when for whatever reason he shouldn't be able to keep his promise... that we can help him keep on making the right choices. Guess that is all we can do, right? And the 'worst' friend is coming over to stay this weekend, his parents are away. So I might have a bit of a talk with him as well :)
6:30 pm
cybernan

a clue, please, Mom?
6:31 pm
Mom

sorry, computer burped.
6:31 pm
Mom

dull, not interesting
6:31 pm
stidgmere

Ah, we have the bean seeds but even as I write, it is raining. Argh!
6:32 pm
Mom

great idea, Sprite. Sometimes other kids need to know that you have their back also
6:32 pm
cybernan

have an st 5/18 that is dull and uninteresting
6:32 pm
Mom

did that help, Nan?
6:33 pm
Mom

this one ends in the sometime vowel
6:33 pm
sprite

yeah, lol, my love looked a bit frowny at me when I said ok, he can stay the weekend. But I think, better keep the friends close, let them in our house so we can see them and talk with them.
6:33 pm
cybernan

oh -- I see needs and extra letter -- ty mom
6:33 pm
Mom

put a D in the 5 letter one
6:34 pm
cybernan

so does the 5/18 -- you need to drop a middle letter for it
6:34 pm
Mom

and let them learn by example. He might not have a good example where he lives
6:34 pm
Mom

thanks Nan
6:34 pm
sprite

nope. And I told Tim he should be a good example for his friends, in stead of letting them drag him down with them. He agreed.
6:35 pm
sprite

so... I guess I am not the only one having lots of self doubt while trying and raise my teens?
6:35 pm
Mom

we always said "why is it that the bad always rubs off on the good and not the other way around"
6:35 pm
sprite

very well put, will remember that one
6:36 pm
cybernan

this grid is absolutly dreadful
6:36 pm
Mom

Sprite, you strike me as the type of mom who is stern yet fair.
6:36 pm
sprite

that bad, nan?
6:36 pm
Mom

agreed, Nan. wish I hadn't started it
6:37 pm
sprite

that is what we try to be. I believe in clear boundaries and open conversations.
6:37 pm
Mom

so many parents around here want to be friends with their children instead of parents. That does them no favors
6:37 pm
Mom

amen, Sprite. As did we.
6:37 pm
sprite

so true! It is our job to be parents. For friends, they have people their age. Quite a different relationship.
6:38 pm
cybernan

first te 5?
6:38 pm
Mom

sometimes the boys did not like us for what we wouldn't let them do. But with age came responsiblity and enough rope to test the waters but if they chose not to do the right thing the rope was tightened again until they changed
6:39 pm
sprite

also we try to teach him life is not about never screwing up. It is about learning from the things you do and putting bad things right again.
6:39 pm
Mom

now you couldn't ask for two more loving, empathic, polite young men
6:39 pm
sprite

sounds very good to me, Mom. Will keep it in mind!
6:39 pm
Mom

if they didn't ever screw up, how will they learn anything.
6:40 pm
sprite

exactly. We all screw up. We still do, lol.
6:40 pm
Mom

and I agree with you, you mess up, make it right
6:40 pm
Mom

boy do we! At least Ido
6:40 pm
sprite

my motto is: don't feel guilty, feel responsible, and act on it.
6:40 pm
sprite

oh me too. Lots of times.
6:41 pm
Mom

but everything I screw up, I have learned something. So that is a good thing
6:41 pm
Mom

I like your motto
6:41 pm
sprite

pfew! Thanks for letting me vent! I trust my kids, but as a mother, I cannot help worrying they will get into bad trouble.
6:42 pm
Mom

Sprite, honey, I hate to tell you, that will never change :-)
6:42 pm
Mom

you will always worry
6:42 pm
sprite

*giggles* I was afraid of that!
6:42 pm
Mom

my mom, she is 75, she still worries about all of us
6:43 pm
Mom

she tells me you never stop worrying, and as the family grows so does the worries.
6:43 pm
Mom

she now worries about her 3 children, my sweetie and her 6 grandchildren
6:43 pm
sprite

aw isn't that sweet! My mother doesn't worry about us, never did. Too busy being full of herself. I am so glad that wasn't in the genes!
6:44 pm
Mom

(((Sprite))) I am so saddened to hear that.
6:44 pm
Mom

My sweetie tells me "the best revenge is living well" and I think you are doing just that
6:44 pm
sprite

in the end, dear Mom, it is my mother who loses most by it. She misses out on so much more than she realises.
6:45 pm
cybernan

te 6, please?
6:45 pm
Mom

so true, Sprite
6:45 pm

your sweetie is a wise one :)
6:45 pm
