mkg - one way to find the word, if you know the count and value, is (in this case) divide 21 by three, and you need a sixletter word, totalling 7 points. Poor explanation, but I'm sure you'll figure-out what I mean.

12:48 am

sammysmom

good volley-- one of her greatest lessons was>>" you do not have to know the answet to everything, but when i get through with you, you will know how to FIND the answer and there will be no excuse for NOT producing the answe."

12:49 am

VolleymomDee

similar type of education sm

12:49 am

Christine

Sammysmom - my Mum said the same thing - you need to know where to find the answer.

12:50 am

my mom: "look it up:

1:54 pm

bfsog

1:55 pm

MollyL

in7/44, to 7/32

1:56 pm

Uneaixoise

clue for in7?

1:56 pm

cosdem

We're still at home -- fire has tripled to over 15000 acres. Wind all over the place --- possible thunderstorms (not likely though) which is not what we need. Evac zones still too close but we're ok.

1:56 pm

uusue2

hi cos!!!! I still think you should leave anyway - was Ryan able to get a new inhaler?

1:56 pm

cosdem

evac was cancelled last night for my street.

1:56 pm

Uneaixoise

so glad to hear, cos!!!! don't really understand how you're still home but then I don't know the geography of the area

1:57 pm

cosdem

ryan used a neighbor's inhaler so he's ok :)

1:57 pm

Uneaixoise

cos, what a relief!!!! But jeezomeez, the videos i've seen are just horrific

1:57 pm

cosdem

last night the fire was at 5000 acres. its now at 15600 acres

1:57 pm

MollyL

Glad to hear all is relatively well.

1:57 pm

Uneaixoise

so do you have phone service?

1:57 pm

cosdem

its generally blowing north and west which is the opposite direction.

1:57 pm

cosdem

we have cell phones working yes

1:58 pm

Uneaixoise

so you have contact with the outside world . . . whew

1:59 pm

Uneaixoise

did most of your neighbors decide not to leave their homes as well?

1:59 pm

cosdem

garden of the gods is at risk :(

1:59 pm

cosdem

id say one person left. the rest stayed.

2:00 pm

Uneaixoise

amazing . . . but then what a wrenching decision it would be to leave . . .

2:01 pm

cosdem

evac for old colorado city is cancelled as well

2:02 pm

cosdem

shelters are booked. hotels and motels are 100% full.

2:02 pm

cosdem

just announced: mandatory evacuations include pets you must take them with you.

2:07 pm

uusue2

probably they don't want people running back to get their pets

2:08 pm

cosdem

exactly

2:08 pm

cosdem

but its nice that pets are ordered to leave as well

2:09 pm

Uneaixoise

i've heard of local shelters giving away dogs and cats for free, to make room for injured animals

2:09 pm

Uneaixoise

after katrina, i think people are more aware of the need to take pets as you leave . . .

2:10 pm

cosdem

yes the humane society did that but they stopped as hey ran out

2:10 pm

cosdem

they have had to make u new pet shelters at local schools

2:10 pm

Uneaixoise

stupid question: are gas stations open? if you left, would you be able to get gas?

2:11 pm

cosdem

yes they're open. the ones on the north side is out of gas due to the trucks not being able to deliver

2:11 pm

Uneaixoise

or would it be suicidal to pump gas?

2:11 pm

cosdem

ryan is a manager at a gas station on the west side right by manitou

2:11 pm

MollyL

I don't think that is a stupid question.

2:12 pm

MollyL

Trucks not being able to deliver because of weather and natural disasters is why they always recommend you fill your tank when preparing.

2:12 pm

Uneaixoise

interesting . . . my dad was in the gas/oil business and my brother is now retiring -- we've always had an innate fear of fire - it's in the family gene pool!

2:12 pm

cosdem

propane grilling is permitted but all other grilling has been banned for the time being

2:12 pm

MollyL

And you ALWAYS know where the main shut off valve is. Always.

2:12 pm

cosdem

no open fires really.

2:13 pm

cosdem

we have been ordered NOT to turn off the gas if we are evacuated

2:13 pm

cosdem

the gas company will take care of that

2:14 pm

cosdem

The President will be in town tomorrow to tour the fires

2:14 pm

Uneaixoise

wow

2:14 pm

cosdem

Friday, not tomorrow

hello dcs

2:36 pm

dcseain

hi, river :)

2:36 pm

Riverdance

so you are camping over the holiday?

2:37 pm

dcseain

no, just for the weekend for a party

2:37 pm

Riverdance

thats fun - we still tent camp too, although my age is catching up to me sleeping on the ground even with the self inflating pads

2:38 pm

dcseain

i use an aeromattress, but Coleman makes some lovely double-height air mattresses.

2:39 pm

Riverdance

we have been through many different air mattresses and I cant tell you how many times over the years I have found myself flat on the ground in the morning

2:40 pm

Riverdance

then we went to egg crate foam - that was ok but not thick enough. We now have 2 inch self inflating pads....not bad as long are you are not on an incline because your sleeping bad slides right off.

2:40 pm

rururocks

maybe you're rough on them river..lol

2:41 pm

Riverdance

gotta to have some fun ruru...

2:42 pm

Riverdance

most of our camping is at remote sites so there is very little even ground unlike a formal campground site

2:43 pm

dcseain

i think i've only once camped at a formal campground site.

2:43 pm

cosdem

4:46 pm

4:47 pm

cosdem

we do not have a car. and ryans mom is out of town til after the 4th

Hi all :)

4:56 pm

cosdem

I'm ok! for now... wind is getting worse though. blowing in all directions

4:56 pm

cosdem

if we are evcacuated it's just for precautionary measures not because we'll be on fire

4:57 pm

Erda

Hard to believe that in this day and age -- fire wins!!

4:58 pm

cosdem

the city had to turn down offers from the military to help ebcaise they aren't trained in this. but the miliary is donating equipment instead.

4:58 pm

cosdem

the President will be here Friday.

4:58 pm

andrew in drag

Gosh, Cosdem. This sounds a bit serious! I hope everything turns out alright.

4:58 pm

cosdem

6:06 pm

uusue2

6:07 pm

bekki

going crazy trying to find the lw 4/8

6:08 pm

MollyL

He's some ex-Chippendale who has a movie coming out about...you guessed it...male strippers. I just don't get the appeal. He always looks stoned to me.

6:08 pm

uusue2

ends in two vowels, bekki

6:08 pm

so I shouldn't be sorry that I have no clue, then, Molly :-)

6:09 pm

bekki

He seems to appeal to the young and easily impressed. Personally, I would go see the movie for Matthew McConaughey but not for Tatum.

stidmama

okay, will post this here also for those who are not my facebook acquaintances: Just had a call from a person saying that our computers that run Windows have been having trouble. I knew instantly that it was a scam, because only one of the computers in our home (we have several) runs Windows. The person had an accent that sounded like he came originally from the Indian subcontinent. NOTE: NO company cold-calls people to "help" them with their computers!!!! If you get a call like this, under no circumstance should you give them any information about yourself, your computers, or, heavens forbid, bank information. When I asked who he worked for (which he had given the name of an organization but I didn't catch it), he hung up on me. ONE MORE TIME: BE ALERT!

8:18 pm

MollyL

Last post from Cos said that he was in "evacuation prepared mode".

8:21 pm

MollyL

Or an infectious nasty in your computer?

8:21 pm
