2:52 am
grannyrose
*shrug* not sure, but he did say that WE would work together re my weight...suggests to me he has something in mind

lynxxx
She has a LOT to lose.
2:59 am
grannyrose
hopes and prayers for lyn's daughter....just let it work, Lord
2:59 am

just fixed it. I like two little scoops of hot chocolate in mine. I have enough to share !
3:57 am
sprite
I would love that. I usually drink wiener melange instant anyway, lol.
3:57 am
debjed
I might lol if I knew what that was :)
3:58 am
sprite
hahahaha sorry I thought that was common stuff, it is here. Coffee from Vienna, it has chocolate in it.
3:59 am
sprite
usually hot, but I know what you me4 ;)
3:59 am
debjed
did you find the second R from the second row yet?
4:00 am
sprite
I can drive my son crazy with remarks like that, and of course he has hundreds of them, as a true blue teenager.
4:01 am
debjed
A young co-worker of mine asked "what are you up to, Debbie?" I answered 5'3" - he didn't get it - hee hee
4:02 am
sprite
roflollllll. My son said: 'wazzup' and I said nothing much except my blood pressure. He groaned.
4:03 am
debjed
I love silliness like that
4:04 am
sprite
so do I. And so does my husband. The kids hate us sometimes, lol.
4:05 am
debjed
I picked up old phrases that my 85 year old mom says like "heavens to betsy" people ask where that came from and what does it mean...... I have no idea :)
4:06 am
sprite
the other r from the 2nd row is another ry4.
4:06 am
debjed
yayayayayay I got it - ty!!
4:07 am
sprite
lollll I love it. The fun thing is, usually when you use a phrase like that, the meaning will be clear from the context.
4:10 am
sprite
halfway, and slowing down.
4:10 am
debjed
just googled the origin of "heavens to betsy" - it said the origin was completely unsolvable
4:10 am
sprite
oh wonderful :D
4:11 am
debjed
do you have clues for the bottom N? I have na4,6
4:12 am
sprite
I have that one and ni4
4:12 am
debjed
just got the ni4 :0
4:13 am
sprite
oh, na5 of course.
4:14 am
debjed
of course !! hee hee
4:14 am
debjed
sometimes you just can't see them
4:14 am
sprite
oh I know! Happens to me all the time. Babble blindness.
4:17 am
sprite
the coffee was delicious, btw
4:17 am
debjed
yes, I think I'll have a second cup :)
4:19 am
debjed
one more H........ have all the "easy" ones
4:20 am
sprite
the southern drawl one?
4:20 am
debjed
i mean from the first column
4:21 am
sprite
hi4/5 for the southern drawl word
4:23 am
sprite
two are 'clue' words, then the southern one, then slap and its anagram
4:23 am
sprite
"slaps" I mean.
4:24 am
sprite
*happy dance* I found the 8! All by me ol' lonesome.
4:24 am
debjed
yay for you ! I love when I do that
4:25 am
sprite
same here. I usually need clues or at least a first letter.
4:25 am
debjed
ok, got the southern one and greyed that H
4:27 am

4:31 am

4:31 am
sprite
it starts Wa, deb
4:32 am
sprite
must be pretty there, ruby
4:33 am
carleekat
<----- waking up
4:33 am
rubyfoo
they really do lovely things but I don't understand why they don't just plant the chrysanthtemums instead of buying new pots every year.....
4:34 am
rubyfoo
I wanted to walk down there yesterday, but lacked the energy, even tho it's not far
4:34 am
rubyfoo
<-- sending rRuby to woof carlee up!
4:34 am
sprite
I was up at 5am. But am not complaining, because I totally crashed yesterday afternoon, went to bed, slept till supper, went back to bed and slept till 5.
4:34 am
sprite
they would need a lot of watering through summer, ruby. That might be the reason?
4:35 am
carleekat
i crashed early too ( 10 ) was a busy day... its 5:30 am here now... i have a long morning at work then school...staying in london..hoping i have my 2 deferred date tomorrow evening..but i lso start tutoring tomorrow too
4:36 am
debjed
thank you sprite!! got that 8 :)
4:36 am
sprite
busy schedule, carlee
4:36 am
rubyfoo
we didn't have to water the flowers even once this summer, except for the baby lila
4:36 am
carleekat
woot deb
4:37 am
rubyfoo
lilac* the rain seemed to come just often enough but maybe the cemetery is too limited
4:37 am
carleekat
well..i opted for tutoring ...1 b/c going into teaching and 2 i have 6 1/2 hours to fill
4:37 am
sprite
lol... yeah ok, this summer. Which summer? Oh the one last month :D
4:37 am
rubyfoo
we were very lucky with the weather. Our punishment will probably be a long, cold, wet winter....
4:38 am
debjed
well friends, 88 left. I better get to the gym. Thank you for the company and the help - be back soon
4:38 am
sprite
I opt for a very cold, freezing winter with lots of sun.
4:38 am
rubyfoo
bye deb, have a great workout!!!!
4:38 am
sprite
bye deb, have a grand day :)
4:38 am
rubyfoo
I'd like a repeat of last year -- all the snow in Dec and then warm, sunny and dry
4:39 am
rubyfoo
Makes these old bones feel better
4:39 am
sprite
my bones don't mind freezing temps, but they hate the wet.
4:43 am
sprite
as for snow... I love it, at Christmas or on New Year's Day. When nobody needs to travel. For the rest... nah. Overrated.
4:45 am
rubyfoo
although I love the snow, it is a major inconvenience as we live on a hillside and it becomes virtually inaccessible
4:47 am
sprite
yes, I can imagine. I will hope then that no snow will visit you this year.
4:48 am
rubyfoo
we were only snowed in for 2 days last year, so I shouldn't complain, especially considering what went on in the US!
4:48 am
sprite
indeed. We had a lot of snow last year too. But then, we are used to it.
4:50 am
rubyfoo
when we first came here (OMG, almost 15 yrs ago), there was much more snow
4:50 am
sprite
it seems global warming is local ;)
4:51 am
rubyfoo
I think what's scary is the widespread "odd" weather
4:51 am
rubyfoo
too much here, not enough there, etc
4:52 am
sprite
but that is from all times too. It's just that you hear more about it nowadays.
4:52 am
rubyfoo
maybe, but the amount of snow and wind, etc, in NY was really strange. My poor sister!
4:53 am
sprite
yes, weather has been odd there
4:57 am
sprite
I must say, we have had 2 lovely days. Coldish, but sunny and clear. This morning we are deep in the mist. We couldn't see the other side of the street early this morning.
4:59 am
rubyfoo
my head is deep in the mist, but more than half without nbt. see you later (in lex, cass, I hope)
4:59 am
sprite
would be nice :) Have a grand day, ruby, and see you later.

Quite the entrance and good day to you too, Scrabbs...LOL
6:09 am
Anniebrook
How was your hike with your sister?
6:09 am
Scrabbler
Sorry, Annie. That was not the best word to accidentally put in the chat. But it sure is making me laugh.
6:10 am
Anniebrook
It made me laugh also
6:10 am
Scrabbler
We had a wonderful hike in the Erie County Forest. There was still some snow deep in the woods. It had snowed last Thursday. I work this morning then she + I will hike again. Tomorrow she leaves.
6:10 am
Anniebrook
It sounds like a great visit
6:11 am
Scrabbler
We have fun--Scrabble, hiking and lots of laughing--when we are together.
6:13 am
Scrabbler
Good morning Bobby! What sport do you follow when baseball is done? Hockey?
6:17 am
Anniebrook
Scrabbs, Bobby is shaving. I went into the bathroom and asked him and he said college and professional football. He says "hi"
6:19 am
Scrabbler
Does he have favorite teams? My father went to Purdue, my mother to Syracuse. And in the NFL I root for our Buffalo Bills.
6:19 am
Anniebrook
The Jets, that even I know (myself not a football fan)
6:22 am
Anniebrook
In baseball he loves the Mets and he like Boston. I cannot believe him because I am a devout Yankee fan. We have a New Years party every year and he always get a gift. This year he asked for a Youkilis T shirt. Can you imagine wearing that in a New York household. I shudder.
6:27 am
Scrabbler
118 to go. I must get ready for work. Enjoy the day!
6:27 am
Anniebrook
you too, scrabbs, bye
6:39 am

Annie, I have the same problem in my family. I'm a devout Redskins fan and one of my sons went traitor on me and likes the Cowboys. Kids.

mrpresident
pigeon didn't like my clue?? thanks man!! :)
8:10 am
pigeonman
sorry. didn't see it.
8:10 am
mrpresident
i worked tonight... 3 hours of reffing... and had to red card two players in girls comp.... i was so upset about it!!
8:10 am
pigeonman
they have put the y's to good use in this grid
8:13 am
mrpresident
but I don't make the rules, I just enforce them... both girls (from different teams) handballed in the penalty box during a goal scoring opportunity... I really don't like to red card for that... but it is the rules.
The girls cry when they get red cards.
The men just yell and throw their handbags.
8:14 am
mrpresident
and last night, I had to sinbin a couple of team mates from the SAME team for fighting!! holy moly!! they need to readdress their team dynamics!
8:17 am
pigeonman
what's sinbin
8:18 am
mrpresident
in summer football... we play small fields in darn hot conditions at night... so only 5 players on the field. Because of the heat... it was decided that people can get 'heated' and the sinbin was created as a way to 'cool off'.
8:19 am
pigeonman
oh.like a penalty box in hockey?
8:20 am
mrpresident
if players get cranky and carry on and it isn't quite a yellow card, I can put them in the 'Sin Bin' for a period of up to 2 to 5 minutes... helps them cool their heals and come back with a 'nicer' persona... rather than anger them further with an official caution. If they do it again, they are off!
8:21 am
pigeonman
i had to laugh. sounds like putting children in a time out.
8:21 am
mrpresident
indeed pigeon... I sent two players off from both teams yesterday for being arses and they came back on nice as pie!!
8:21 am
mrpresident
it is!! these guys were 40 years old!!! LOL
8:22 am
pigeonman
we should be able to do the same to our political leaders. (don't want to start a political discussion though)
8:22 am
Anniebrook
Done. Nice grid. anyone like a clue before i leave?
8:23 am
bethanyej
how is yoyo not a word?
8:23 am
Anniebrook
I was wondering that myself, beth
8:23 am
mrpresident
if I caution a player officially with a card, it is because it is deserved... but being hot and bothered is really due to the conditions of our summer, so they get 'discretion' from me.
8:24 am
Anniebrook
have a great day/night everyone, bye dear babblers
8:24 am
mrpresident
and if the 12 year olds do something that is 'red card' worthy, I sin bin them for 5 minutes and let them back on... I am not a biyaitch!
8:24 am
mrpresident
night annie!! :))
8:26 am
mrpresident
yoyo is a brand!! i thought it would have been introduced into English myself!
8:26 am
mrpresident
and yo-yo is the official way of spelling too
8:29 am
mrpresident
but, what do I know... I am chatting football, watching football, breathing football, and trying to overcome my horrid day. blessed be anyway
8:29 am
pigeonman
if yo-yo is just the brand name, then what are those little buggers called?
8:30 am
mrpresident
will go look it up pigeon... brb
8:31 am
Vicuna
(They're called yo-yos. The brand name has passed into the generic word. But it's spelt with hyphen.)
8:32 am
mrpresident
ball bearing axle with a string!
8:32 am

still it has a hyphen so is not considered in babble

we were lucky - power only out 18 hours but did get 23 inches of snow
9:52 am

when power goes off here (usually due to high winds, occasional snow storm) I love the silence, it's almost eerie. But, if it stays off too long, we do have generator that hooks up essentials

we didn't get much snow, but as the leaves were still on the trees, they knocked down the power lines. Some towns are totally without power and will be for a week.

shdy, one semester I was teaching both Physics 1 and Physics 3 (both calculus-based courses for engineers). On my student evaluations, the Physics 1 students said I was absolutely terrible and should be fired; the Physics 3 students said I was the best teacher they'd ever had. (They had already had Physics 1 and 2, from other people, and knew how hard they are!)
10:12 am
Nef
shdy, falling asleep while driving or working just isn't a safe thing to do. I've fallen asleep on a stepstool, while making spaghetti sauce, etc. Not good.
10:14 am
shdybr8
sue, totally get it! i was a physics 2nd major as an undergrad, some profs made it easy, others made it hard. Now that I've taught for a while, i would have shot me as an undergrad, or maybe adored me for my independence - nothing in between

nef, my mother was a kindergarten teacher, and I swore I would never teach - I originally started working at a university because I wanted to do research. It took several years of teaching before I was really comfortable with it, and a few more before I really started to like it a lot. Now I really love to teach, although I am still not fond of grading.

in physics, om5 stands for angular velocity :-)

funny how a word ascociated with finality and endings and aloneness can be velocity in other areas
10:37 am
uusue2
physicists are weird, crossy
10:38 am
uusue2
also, that's lower case; the upper case letter stands for, among other things, the average density of the universe

(I am joking, of course, he had to run off for some reason; I am sure he will be back shortly and tell us what is up)
10:45 am

either that or I chased him off talking about physics...

hi Harp long time no see!

you probably out-did him, sue; I was laughing when I read that! :-)

Great clue. Thanks

That gives me the first 3 letters -- then???
11:12 am

Figured it out!!!

"sort of like" is the clue

back for a couple while dinner is cooking -- leftover choucroute grani!
11:21 am
Nef
what is that, ruby?
11:24 am
rubyfoo
garni* sauerkraut cooked with beer, caraway seeds and pepper corns plus a large variety of pork meats and sausages, served with hot english mustard and boiled potatoes
11:24 am
rubyfoo
Strasbourg specialty but I make it as a winter dish
11:24 am
uusue2
it is very yummy!
11:25 am
rubyfoo
and pretty easy, as the ingredients are all available locally (except the caraway seeds which I had to buy in Switzerland)
11:25 am
rubyfoo
I used to make it with white wine, but beer is better
11:25 am
uusue2
although I always found the name a bit odd - it seems to imply that it is sauerkraut with accompaniments, whereas I found it to be typically sausages and pork with some sauerkraut mixed in.
11:26 am
rubyfoo
I cook the potatoes and sausages separately, just put the various pieces of pork and lardons (impossible to translate, sort of a bacon but less tasty) in with the cabbage
11:26 am
Nef
hmmm. Sounds good. Here I was thinking it was some sort of chocolate granola stuff (just from the name --which I didn't understand).. Wonder if the beer brauts and sauerkraut in Wisconsin is from that?
11:27 am
aebmusica
my family makes it with onions , white wine and apples(Sauerkraut).
11:27 am
uusue2
lardons are fattier than bacon, usually, aren't they, ruby?
11:27 am
rubyfoo
for sure, it is really a German dish but, for a change, I think the French have actually improved it
11:28 am
rubyfoo
unfortunately, not the lardons here which are too meaty for my taste
11:28 am
rubyfoo
where are they from, aeb? I'm sure that every region has its own way of preparing
11:28 am
aebmusica
Sourkraut...isn't that an unhappy german?
11:29 am
rubyfoo
My mother used to put a whole pork loin into saurerkraut without the beer or wine and it was fabulous!
11:29 am
aebmusica
My Family comes from Alsace on one side and Ireland and Scotland on the other side.
11:29 am
uusue2
I've heard that kind of sauerkraut referred to as Bavarian sauerkraut, aeb
11:29 am
rubyfoo
but the meat in the US is so much better
11:30 am
rubyfoo
ahah, so that schoucroute is probably more authentic than mine
11:30 am
rubyfoo
mine is just tasty
11:30 am
aebmusica
no.. Bavarian has carroways in it.
11:30 am
rubyfoo
I used caraways and no apples

11:33 am

this is my first garden, so it's largely experimental (and accident-prone)

11:35 am

Sauerkraut, red and green peppers, onions spices and vinegar and oil(sauerkraut is rised three times before using it) and it it severed cold on hot summer days. YUM YUM
11:35 am
rubyfoo
btw, I think go6 is a hoot!
11:36 am

that sounds wonderful: I'm writing it down
11:36 am

I'm not sure if your can get sauerkraut in summer here

11:37 am

my typing is terrible, sorry
11:37 am

Sounds like "a young male has ****** charm"
2:48 pm
uusue2
French is bad but Hebrew (and Arabic) are worse, as it is a totally different alphabet and not all the letters have English equivalents
2:50 pm
uusue2
I remember back in the 1980s when we were bombing Libya, and some students complained about the different spellings of Gaddafi's name - "doesn't he know how to spell his name?" they sneered - of course, he does, but he spells it in Arabic!

2:51 pm

ty Molly but still cannot figure the go6 any other clue?
2:53 pm

there is a 3-letter word starting with go that is Yiddish for a non-Jew, then add a 3-letter ending that means "sort of" or "like"

3:53 pm

the four letter plural works, english-ized not Yiddish ending.

I got an automated call today from a company that they were going to schedule an appt. to come out a service something *AND THE APPT> was already set up for tomorrow but the auto call wouldn't schedule it til Friday! I spent about 10 minutes trying to get it straightend out; and the appt for tomorrow is cancelled now--wether I wanted it to be or not
4:51 pm
Nef
sorry for the typos; my BP is still up because of that call
4:52 pm

**Offers tea to Nef and puts soothing music on**
4:52 pm
stidmama
no E, I think Nef...
4:52 pm
Nef
sorry, not a word. I need to get away from the keyboard til I settle down a bit
4:53 pm
uusue2
I hear you, nef!
4:54 pm
uusue2
was just on the phone with my insurance company, they approved my thyroid biopsy but the valid dates are from 11/26/11 to 11/26/11 (which is NOT when it is scheduled and which is a Saturday anyway)
4:55 pm
uusue2
however this is apparently an artifact of how they do business, and it is actually approved. Weird notice, though.
4:59 pm
Nef
Okay; I think I'm calmed down. That call occurred at 4:30; so I was still upset by it. The company had made the appt. for tomorrow yesterday (when I 1st called them); I'd cleared the times etc.so that's why I was upset.
4:59 pm
uusue2
(((((nef)))))
5:00 pm
Nef
and sue; that is really weird!
5:00 pm
uusue2
I hate insurance companies.
5:00 pm
Nef
Sometimes I wonder how I'd get things like this done if I was working
5:01 pm
uusue2
fortunately I have a flexible schedule!
5:01 pm
uusue2
although now I am working on getting tomorrow's lecture done...
5:02 pm
Nef
I hate dealing with automated systems!
5:02 pm
uusue2
...which I should probably get back to. Active galactic nuclei, quasars, and the intergalactic medium, here I come!
5:02 pm
Nef
bye sue! good luck!
5:03 pm
uusue2
oh, automated systems really suck, nef. I especially hate these new ones that insist you talk to them instead of pushing buttons. They never know what I am saying.
5:07 pm
stidmama
have fun, sue!
5:07 pm
stidmama
Nef, I hope the rest of your evening goes well. Lucky is begging to go out again, so I will refill my tea and then start getting ready for tomorrow's sub job.
5:07 pm
stidmama
Have a wonderful evening, all! *poof*
5:10 pm
Nef
(I'm on another automated call right now; but at least this one will connect me with a person after I finish holding!
5:17 pm
Nef

5:18 pm
Jellen

5:18 pm
Dorens

5:18 pm
Nef

5:19 pm
Jellen
Hi, Dorens
5:19 pm
Dorens
no idea when it will be either
5:20 pm
Dorens
i'm okay, but not sure how much longer i can do this pioneer gal stuff! stayed at a friend's last night, but missed my cats.
5:20 pm
Nef
(((Dorens))) Are you staying in your house? Is it warm enough?
5:21 pm
Dorens
(and she doesn't know her wireless password, she went down to visit a friend, so I can't use HER computer... so babble is out). and no nef, not nearly warm enough
5:22 pm
Nef
did you lose trees? Is the whole area out of power? (I'm so glad you are okay otherwise
5:22 pm
jmcnrick
there is some way to figure out from her computer what the pass word is--ask one of the geeks when they come on
5:23 pm
jmcnrick
my boy did it when i lost my wireless password
5:23 pm
Dorens
good question jmc. but she took her computer with her... would be good to know for next time. I used hers when I was out of power for 6 days after irene
5:24 pm
Dorens
yes i lost 4 trees.. one is leaning on my house and i suppose we better do something about that. two were blocking my driveway and one blocked the road in front of my house. should put that pic as my icon
5:25 pm
Nef
oh, dear! It sounds like you should move here to MN where the weather is better! ;-)
5:25 pm
jmcnrick
brb i am messing with my internet connection out in the hinterlands
5:27 pm
Dorens
haha nef. my sister lived in st cloud years ago and i did visit during the winter. once!
5:27 pm
Nef
well, it isn't winter here yet! :-)
5:28 pm
Nef
but it's coming....
5:29 pm
Nef
I'm just feeling bad for you; the longest power outage I've ever had to deal with was overnight and that was in the summer; so I can't imagine what it's like for you
5:29 pm
Dorens
well i have been conditioned... six days after irene, so if it is five this time i'll feel better. Unfortunately am losing some of my frozen food, etc
5:30 pm
bichon
Dorems, do you have power yet? We just got it last evening
5:30 pm
Dorens
no bichon. doesn't look like i'll have it tomorrow either
5:31 pm
Nef
I have a friend who lives 2 miles away and her suburb has a lot of power outages. She's never lost food because she uses dry ice
5:32 pm
Uneaixoise
dorens, good to see you -- sooo sorry for what you've been dealing with -- jeezomeez!!
5:32 pm
Dorens
well, it could be worse! i do have water... and HOT water too.. only problem is that when i get in the shower i never ever want to get out
5:33 pm
bichon
we camped out in the kitchen with the fireplace going
5:34 pm
Nef
is there such a thing as a sterno heater?
5:35 pm
Dorens
i slept at a friend's last nite. might again tonight. not sure yet.
5:35 pm
uusue2
Dorens! I hope you get power back soon!! (and that the tree gets off your house!)
5:35 pm
uusue2
I called my dad and he is doing fine, only lost power for about 1/2 hour, but I see that it is warm enough now that your frozen stuff is thawing. Bummer.
5:36 pm
Dorens
thanks. doesn't seem to have damaged the roof, and so it is low priority... so many others in streets, on roofs, etc
5:36 pm
Dorens
anyone want some nice sockeye wildsalmon from my freezer come and get it!!
5:38 pm
jmcnrick
hmmm how far away are you again?
5:38 pm
bichon
we were out for three days and none of the food went bad and we still had hot water
5:38 pm
Dorens
half way between the GW bridge and the Delaware Water Gap
5:39 pm
jmcnrick
just don't open the freezer dorens and if it is relatively packed it should stay for 3 or 4 days
5:39 pm
Dorens
by yesterday it still had ice crystals in it bichon. not now. I've brought some of the food to my friend's. It's been four days already jm. saturday 2 pm
5:39 pm
jmcnrick
bbs i must reboot
5:39 pm
Nef
Dorens; you can get some dry ice and keep the freezer door closed and it should keep it for 2-3 days
5:40 pm
jmcnrick
oh dear then all you can do is eat salmon
5:40 pm
Jellen
O in the fifth column, please?
5:40 pm
Dorens
honestly nef. that sounds like a good idea but on top of all that i'm also working 9 hours a day with no lunch break. not going shopping for nothing (except a generator if i could find one)
5:41 pm

5:45 pm
uusue2

5:47 pm
Dorens
it's been here before sue
5:47 pm
uusue2
I'm sure it has, doren, but it sure looks strange!
5:48 pm
Dorens

MollyL
<---Is glad that she never looks at rankings since she rarely has time to finish grids. : D
5:57 pm
Dorens
going nuts doesn't really serve me well
5:57 pm
periwinkle
it would not serve me well either
5:58 pm
Dorens
why is the second go4/8 a word but not goyem?
5:59 pm
uusue2
I was claiming it would be goyim (which Enable would apparently accept)
5:59 pm
Uneaixoise
believe there was a whole goy discussion earlier . . .
6:00 pm
Dorens
i'm sure there was. shiksas and goys... great topics

I finally got off my bro in laws cell phone plan and got a new phone, just a basic one but new nonetheless
6:22 pm
jmcnrick
so i am thinking about concrete counter tops any one have any experience?
6:22 pm
jmcnrick
are you happy about that peri?
6:23 pm
periwinkle
yes I am, jmc, do not have to worry about any extra charges, the bill will come to me
6:23 pm
lynxxx
no - but they look very nice. What about the lovely soap stone you have in the States (or is it Canada) that looks brilliant
6:23 pm
periwinkle
will use it as my main phone, kept same number
6:23 pm
jmcnrick
there is a deal to be said for having the bill to come directly if you are paying it
6:23 pm
periwinkle
I waws not paying hhim anything. he had a family plan
6:24 pm
periwinkle
rather be responsible for my own calls
6:24 pm
Uneaixoise
hi, lynxxx!
6:24 pm
periwinkle
it will cost me more but worth it
6:24 pm
jmcnrick
it is certainly in canada lynxxx but it is in the US in lesser amounts. but i think concrete is cheaper and more durable
6:25 pm
lynxxx
hi Une and all
6:25 pm
jmcnrick
i understand peri -- i keep wa**ing for the boy to decide that. . .but i won't say anything until he gets a job i think
6:25 pm
Nef
hi again. jmc, I love the look of concrete countertops but haven't had any experience with it and don't know anyone who has them
6:25 pm
jmcnrick
i was just wondering if it was hard on dishes. . . am i going to be gritting my teeth all the time
6:26 pm
jmcnrick
sure you can laugh it won't be your glasses shattering
6:26 pm
inge
Thanks . now I have firewris
6:27 pm
jmcnrick
whoo hoo inge!!
6:27 pm
Nef
I don't think it would be any harder than a stone countertop. I have heard that you need someone who has experience do them or they could look bad
6:27 pm
lynxxx
I got one of the granite look-a-like composites about 15 years ago - Have been very happy with it. Great color choice. More $ than wood but cheaper than natural stone.
6:27 pm
lbdawger
me too! whooo hoooo Inge!
6:27 pm
Uneaixoise
yay, inge!!!!!!!!!!
6:27 pm
lynxxx
Congrats Inge!

jmcnrick
i was looking at a portion for a breakfast bar in marble and the rest in concrete
6:30 pm
Uneaixoise
sounds very cool, jmc
6:30 pm
jmcnrick
i could get a grey green counter top out of concrete and a dark marble with green streaks for the breakfast bar above
6:30 pm
lbdawger
my mom had coreane...or something like that put in. it's been here for over 20 years and still looks like new.
6:30 pm
lynxxx
Got a girlfriend who has just done a large duplex with granite and marble everywhere. Really regreting marble in the kitchen as stains and marks badly
6:30 pm
jmcnrick
hey this is the last time i will be remodeling my kitchen so i want it to look good and to hold up
6:30 pm
Nef
that sounds really pretty, jmc!
6:31 pm
jmcnrick
hmmm good to know lynxxx is that true for a dark marble?
6:31 pm
lbdawger
bbl, gotta go burn something for dinner.
6:31 pm

hi gal n
6:32 pm

We wouldn't do well with marble or granite; I'd like some of the synthetic stone though
6:32 pm
jmcnrick
stats for the bottom o please
6:32 pm
Uneaixoise
evening, glan :-)
6:32 pm
jmcnrick
maybe i could do the breakfast bar with that composite then
6:32 pm
lynxxx
she has white/grey with very large black veining in it....not that you can see it anymore a it is constantly covered with cloths to stop the staining and marking
6:33 pm
Glantarell
jmc - i have a black granite hearth and it is terrible for showing dust and marks - they do clean up easily but if I want it to look good I have to wipe with a microcloth more than once a day - never again. I suspect dark marble would be as high maintennce
6:33 pm
lynxxx
the dark green granite looking composite is exactly what I have
6:36 pm
MollyL
Glant, I hear you on the black granite hearth. I have the same thing and it is a pain in the ass to keep clean.
6:40 pm
jmcnrick
and how has the composite worked for you lynxxx
6:42 pm
jmcnrick
stats for the last column O please
6:43 pm
lynxxx
It has been fantastic - still gleaming after 15 years - just wipe with Windex (not sure if you have that spray in the States). No stains. Just a little dull and a few v. small chips where my husband insists on cutting without any board. Doesn't scorch. Softer than stone so no smashed glasses etc.
6:43 pm
Nef
om 5/16 (in grid yesterday)
6:44 pm
MollyL
Yes, we have Windex in the States.
6:45 pm
jmcnrick
yes we have windex and since i will be using this above the sink for a breakfast bar that sounds ideal
6:45 pm
jmcnrick

It's one of the dumber ones I've ever seen in these grids. But that isn't saying much.
7:30 pm
uusue2
huh, doesn't work as a ga word, though
7:30 pm
MollyL
However, re 5/18 and re 6/30 are just ridiculous.

what's a seedmoth?
8:20 pm
bethn
if you have a bird, and you buy fresh seed/fruit mix, sometimes when you open the bag a moth will fly out. if you dont get that first one and it is female ready to lay eggs, you then become home to moths up the wazoo :(
8:21 pm
Nef
YUK! Glad I don't have birds, then!
8:21 pm
bethn
we have pheremone traps, and i empty the pantry and clorox everything, but it is a neverending battle
8:22 pm
Nef
How big are they?
8:22 pm
Nef
I hate fruit flies myself
8:22 pm
bethn
i bought the seed from a new source... i would like to trap some and send them back to her
8:23 pm
bethn
they are bigger than fruitflies, but smaller than the common moths you see outside near your porch light
8:23 pm
bethn
HAH ! I got the little bugger
8:26 pm
bethn
I am always scanning for them, anyone looking in my window would think I am nuts looking at the ceiling ....
8:37 pm
wht
Time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like a banana.
8:39 pm
Nef

MollyL
Yes, but the one that is 0/0 doesn't count. : P
8:48 pm
wht
But only two by the g.
8:48 pm

hi beth, hi nef

8:57 pm
Nef

damn teenagers...
9:06 pm
Pinikula
Mine last quite awhile...the letters just wear off...so, 'type by touch' is a must ;)
9:07 pm
Nef
PINI!!! Where have you been?
9:07 pm
Pinikula
uh ... here?
9:07 pm
bethn
fairly unhappy pini, a young man rand into the back of my new car while it was stopped in traffic- not much cosmetic damage,but it seems to have wrecked the transmission
9:07 pm
Pinikula
at work or home
9:07 pm
Pinikula
It's been one heck of a last several months...
9:08 pm
Pinikula
so sorry to hear bethn!!!
9:08 pm
Nef
I hear you (((Pini)))
9:08 pm
bethn
we go thru several a year here the bird is fascinated with the keyboard and will fly to it and remove keys laughing hysterically as he throws them on the floor
9:09 pm
bethn
yes, he would like us to tell the insurance people his mother was driving - we respectfully declined
9:09 pm
Pinikula
I would have declined, too, bethn!
9:10 pm
Nef
I just haven't seen you for so long, Pini; and when I was looking for someone in the rankings last night it looked like you had resigned or something
9:10 pm
Pinikula
oh, not resigned, nef...just been "off" for awhile...miss everyone. Just when I think I'm 'coming back', it all breaks loose again...know what I mean?
9:11 pm
Pinikula
btw...has anyone said that it's impossible to have 210 words in this grid...I have 10 words so far!
9:12 pm
Nef
I have 26 words left to find.
9:12 pm
Pinikula
nice, nef!
9:13 pm
bethn
give it a while pini, the words come out after a while
9:13 pm
jesdraggon
yay nef! I've dug 92 out of the mess so far.
9:13 pm
Pinikula
uh huh...sure they do!
9:13 pm
wht
Sometimes I think that they come out after I have gone to bed.
9:13 pm
Nef
Pini, if you check the rankings, you are in the middle column with something like 2,224, 778 or something but you aren't pink anymore; your name is black (like a non-member)
9:14 pm
Pinikula
ACK!! I'll peek, nef!
9:14 pm
bethn
well yes they are all hiding behind the m and w, ( they are the fattest letters)
9:14 pm
wht
That is why people like Gremlinn can finish the grid so fast at the flip. The words are nocturnal.
9:14 pm
Nef
LOL, wht; I think you have a very plausible theory there!
9:16 pm
bethn
can i help anyone before i go?
9:16 pm
Pinikula
you're right, nef...I'm not pink anymore (not sure what makes one pink); but it's nice to know I've not totally tanked the "who's hot" list...there's a very short list below me on that one! *sigh of relief*
9:16 pm
jesdraggon
stats on the o in the right column?
9:16 pm

I'd say, "Yes, bethn," but I'm afraid you'd be here all night...

9:25 pm
boatierra
Thanks all for the clue. I figured it the go 6/33 was close to the go 4/8 (which I have) but I'm not getting it. I don't get the haircut clue. I do get the non-Jew clue.
9:25 pm
Pinikula
no scandals..but 2 names of note: Lawrence Welk and Red Pollard (both married in-law types)

9:29 pm
Pinikula
that's a good question, nef...that would be a number that is the moving target
9:30 pm
bethn
we found that my grandfather, my mom's dad, who was thought to have abandoned the family and died actually just moved across the river to his "real" wife and had his 3rd child with her within months that his 4th child with my grama was born...we made contact with the other family they say he was a miserable man. PLUS we are italian, not french as we had been led to believe
9:30 pm
Nef
true, Pini. It's a moving number for all of us, isn't it? Personal question: are you from a large Irish Catholic family? (I am; I had 54 first cousins on my Mom's side growing up
9:32 pm
Pinikula
wow, bethn...that's gotta be pretty interesting...to know that you've got more kin than you thought!
9:32 pm
Pinikula

9:32 pm
cosdem
i have 30 first cousins on my mom's side.
9:33 pm
bethn
we always thought they were out there, but the name was odd, and spelled differendly in my family than in the other one so it was very hard to trace

Nef
Exciting/important call, heron?
10:33 pm
herinfernallady
Yes., It is a friends birthday and I offered to cook her dinner but she is not answering her phone
10:34 pm
Nef
ergh! Don't you hate it when you have your day planned around someone elses' day and they don't call?
10:35 pm
herinfernallady
well nothing is planned but if she doesn't call she gets no cake
10:39 pm
Nef
I have a short fuse today on messed up schedules
10:40 pm
herinfernallady
I don't have anything planed but if she doesn't ring soon there will be a sorry no because I will be starting the meat at 330pm and then it will be too late for cake as I will not be farting about
10:41 pm
herinfernallady
I guess I am also a tad over doing things for others and getting screwed in the process
10:41 pm
Nef
that's what happens a lot
10:42 pm
herinfernallady
Ok so we have no car. If you lived around the corner (quite litterally around the corner) and were going to the store wouldn't you offer to pick up something for me at the store if you were going to drop stuff off at my house?

some people are extremely self-centered and need to be asked before they see someone else has any needs?
10:48 pm
herinfernallady
Yep. Honestly somethimes I wonder why I bother with some people
10:49 pm
Nef
if you know that this person is like that; it's important to let them know you need rides right now
10:50 pm
herinfernallady
Or just remember it and keep it in the not helping you unless it is dire
10:50 pm
Nef
yep; that too
10:51 pm
