12:36 am
VolleymomDee
hang on let me think how to clue
12:37 am
VolleymomDee
in 7 and in 8 (pl) alt spelling of a word I usually see beginning with en... to captivate, enamor, cause to be spellbound
12:37 am
Wyrd
in8 as in amazes or captures your attention
12:37 am
VolleymomDee
think of it when I think of being captured by a good book...
12:38 am

12:38 am

help with the ac8 pls
12:39 am
Lizlin
ty for in 7 / 8 - I'd only ever have thought of that with the alt spelling!
12:39 am
VolleymomDee
ac is chemistry word... ac + word that looks like fruit in bran cereal (dried up grapes) minus the first i...
12:39 am
VolleymomDee
plus, liz, I think the en word has 2 l's, right?
12:39 am
sajarn
ac8 ac plus shriveled grapes minus a vowel
12:39 am

Just tried the optional spelling using a word document, Dee - it accepted both 1 l and 2!
12:40 am

12:41 am

12:41 am

My dad wrote a verse when he was interned in Hong Kong during WW2:
THE LONG AND THE SHORT OF IT
Polysyllabics just drive me clean frantic;
Simple, short words should suffice for out use.
Sesuipedalian, pocourantic,
Anitclimactic, and words as abstruse,
Those like sub-optimal and, say, spelaean,
Also thrasonical, denigrator,
Properispomenon and amoebaean,
Funniment, adjuvant, adulator -
Words like these horrors delight the pretender:
Knowledge rejects them with scorn and disdain.
Lovers of English should therefore remember -
Aways use only the clear and the plain.

I have approached a local publisher who seemed interested. Must follow it up, although I think it deserves a wider audience.

20 years ago she did a project about the war and he went tohelp her with her presentation with his medals and a few stories and some pictures. ( he did not realise that the whole school would be there.. it was held in the auditorium)
1:07 am
jillibus
True, dee.
1:08 am
VolleymomDee
wow sm... wonder if the school taped that?
1:08 am
flosey
a great lesson for those HS kids s'mom
1:08 am
jillibus
The local publisher suggested self-publishing but I'm not in7ed.
1:09 am
sammysmom
no , and the principal said later that he regretted that. he did take pics though and the school newspaper did a write up on it
1:09 am
VolleymomDee
You definitely need to scrapbook those things, along with the medals.
1:10 am
sammysmom
he was surprised that they were interested and some of them told him about their grandparents exeriences .. he said it was a great day
1:10 am
VolleymomDee
I think it is ridiculous when they suggest self-publishing... who has that kind of money laying around...
1:10 am

5:49 am

I was very excited the other day and happily switched over to Labyrinth thinking it was the Jim Henson/David Bowie one that I watched a trillion times with my children - only to be sorely dissappointed by a newish mini series. not the same at all!

My kids loved anything by Russell Hoban.

Thanks, Molly..i do not recollect it either being in the grid before.
6:19 am

Enable really makes you work to find the definitions of some words. And that search was all convoluted because it thought I meant twitter.

xeiluj
y.w and hi
7:11 am
crosshair
only problem with the end of our one cent coin is you KNOW every single store will have prices like $22.23 or $9,93. they will make sure that in every case that it will always have to be rounded up
7:11 am
medusa
always the way crossy
7:12 am
rubyfoo
and it has a plural!
7:12 am
crosshair
but that will not be right away as there are still 6 billiojn in circulation and it will take time for the banks to haul them all in
7:13 am
Anniebrook
thanks, xei
7:13 am

No probs, someone clued it earlier for me

7:48 am

Morning, car! And morning to everyone!
7:51 am
Anniebrook
hi car. and Mimi
7:51 am
Angelsong
he had emphysema and had about 20% lung capacity; he also had double pneumonia. We decided as a family to have the ventiator removed because he would have had no quality of life, and the doctors told us he would have to be on the ventilatior for the rest of his life; his other organs had begun to fail because of the stress from his lungs.
7:52 am
medusa
and he probably thanks you all for it too angel.
7:52 am
trentsnana
So sad and hard for you and your family to make that decision, but obviously the best thing for him. Was he quite young?
7:52 am
smores
Prayers to you and your family, you made a very difficult, yet mercifully wise decision.
7:54 am
medusa
brb. need coffee
7:55 am
Angelsong
he had his 58th birethday on January 6. He was about 11 months younger than I.
7:55 am
Angelsong
I am not sad for him. I know he is with God. I am sad because I miss him, that's all.
7:55 am
trentsnana
That is quite young. So sorry for your loss, Angel.

7:56 am

I am so glad you have your faith to lean on, Angel. That is the only thing that got me through when I lost my mother. She was 52 and I was 24. She was my best friend and the most difficult thing I've ever gone through.
7:56 am
car.eeyore
{{Mimi}} have a good day
7:57 am
Anniebrook
trent, your story is very similar to mine. my mother was 52 and I was 26 and being an only child it was very hard.
7:57 am
Angelsong
I have lost two of my brothers now. The youngest one died as an infant, when I waa 9.
7:57 am
trentsnana
That is sad.
7:58 am
smores
Agree trentsnana, the promise of being reunited one day is all that got me through losing my parents and brother
7:58 am
Angelsong
we told my brother yesterday that out loved ones who have passed would meet him. I can imagine the joy that brought.
7:59 am
trentsnana
Yes, I felt bad for my father-in-law when my mother-in-law passed. My husband and I were quite strong, knowing someday we will see her again. My father-in-law, on the other hand, is a non-believer and had a very rough time, thinking he'll never see her again.
8:00 am
trentsnana
I was not an only child, Annie. It would be difficult, not having siblings to lean on.
8:00 am
Angelsong
the Lord held us togeher emotionally so that we could do what we needed to do for him. for that, I am forever grateful.
8:02 am
trentsnana
I've gotta get my day started. Take care all - see you later. Hugs to you and your family, Angel.

MollyL
Not bad Hursh, and you?
8:26 am
hurshy
bit headachy again. i'm hoping i have a parasite and that's what's causing it and then i could get treated and they could stop!
8:26 am
smores
Doing well Hurshy, thanks :)
8:27 am
hurshy
i guess people don't usually hope they have parasites.
8:27 am
smores
hmm...1st time I ever heard anyone hoping to have a parasite :)
8:27 am
MollyL
Why do you think it's a parasite?
8:28 am
smores
When do you go back to the doctor?
8:28 am
hurshy
my cats have some parasites and are being treated. seeing as i regularly kiss their paws... it's possible.
8:28 am
hurshy
i dunno smores, hopefully today.
8:29 am
hurshy
but then i have to await the test results.
8:30 am
hurshy
but i DO get to get my EYES checked today which is EXCITING because i am DYING for NEW GLASSES!
8:30 am
smores
Well, here's to hoping you have parasites, as that may be a quick fix for ya :)
8:31 am
smores
I'm way over due on having mine checked, I know I need stronger glasses.
8:32 am
smores
Kitty wants in...BRB
8:32 am
hurshy
not only do i need stronger glasses, i think, but both of the side pieces have come off of my pair and i had to glue them back with superglue and it's not the same, they are a bit loose
8:32 am
boatierra
Could I have the stats for the L on the far left hand side? I have the le 5/18.
8:32 am
hurshy

8:33 am
boatierra
Thanks hurshy : )
8:33 am
hurshy
i always look for that and tahr as two words that are one letter off the cowardly lion portrayer, bert lahr. :) lol
8:34 am
BabbleRabble
the le is the name of a town in North Dakota
8:35 am
boatierra
Now I have the le 4/5 and the le 5/18. What am I missing?
8:36 am
MollyL
Plural of the le4, as Hursh said in her clue.
8:36 am
boatierra
Oh! I didn't catch the plural part. Thanks MollyL :)
8:37 am

Someone ages ago had an operation called a triple arthrodesis and we joked that we'd look forward to the day when arthrodesis would be in the grid. I'm still waiting....
8:51 am

not getting the cr5 clue!
8:51 am
hurshy
ah but longer ones have so much worse odds
8:52 am
jmcnrick
cr+for all its *or**
8:52 am
medusa
what kind of word is that? thanks
8:53 am
hurshy
the welsh kind
8:53 am
jmcnrick
welsh like i said. . .no vowels
8:53 am
hurshy
it's not so much no vowels as that they treat w as a vowel, no?
8:53 am
Haz1558
It's Welsh, w is the vowel.
8:53 am
medusa
would so never have got that!
8:53 am
jmcnrick
that explains the chidrens rhyme
8:53 am
hurshy
blythe drwg...
8:54 am
jmcnrick
a-e-i-o-u and sometimes y and w
8:54 am
BabbleRabble
listening to the pronunciation of a word works better when the speakers are turned on.
8:54 am
jmcnrick
i never could figure out when w was a vowel
8:54 am
medusa
my cousin speaks welsh. he lived there for a couple of years
8:54 am
hurshy
i want to live in wales and work on doctor whoooooo
8:55 am
jmcnrick
now that i think of it i am not sure what the point of differenciating between vowels and consonants is
8:55 am
hurshy
so, the 8s are in, sn, and... ?
8:55 am
medusa
well i am over half way so gonna take a break for a while. be back later
8:55 am
jmcnrick
bye medusa
8:55 am

Haz1558
Someone has to do it, fighting daleks costs money.
8:57 am
Haz1558
Does he still fight daleks? I haven't watched the show for decades.
8:57 am
hurshy
oh yes the daleks always manage to come back
8:57 am
hurshy
last time, he made them forget who he was, though, so that's a big advantage
8:58 am
hurshy
now, am i going to be able to get this ac8?
8:58 am
jmcnrick
i bet they remember
8:58 am
Haz1558
At least they're clean monsters, some of the ones I'v seen in trailers look as if they'd drip goo all over you.
8:59 am
Haz1558
ac8 is a plural. That's another letter filled in.
8:59 am
jmcnrick
it seems that if a monster is gooey you could kill it with salt
9:00 am
hurshy
there was one monster on original trek that needed a lot of salt, so you could kill it by withholding salt.
9:00 am
boatierra
Vowels are elongated sounds (sonant) that can stand alone whereas consonants are blunter sounding and almost always need a vowel to create a word. Hope that makes sense.
9:00 am
Haz1558
It would have to be a special type of salt only mined on the planet Klingon. (Mixing my space series up a bit)
9:00 am
jmcnrick
martian salt then
9:00 am

We're all heading for the PB.

Entrapment by jmc.
9:01 am
BabbleRabble
More into Bob Cummings and Schultzy than a who doctor
9:01 am
hurshy
there are loads of distinctions between consonants, too, not just between cons and vowels. there are liquids (r and L) which are less consonantal, and H is just an aspirant, in some languages only marked, not an actual letter. then you have labials and labio-dentals and some are voiced and some are unvoiced....
9:01 am
jmcnrick
haha i hadn't thought about him for a while
9:01 am
Haz1558
ac plus what looks like a misspelled dried up grape.

My pleasure :)
9:02 am
jmcnrick
ooooo mimosas for everyone!
9:02 am
hurshy
for most people, sure, there probably isn't that much use in knowing all this linguistic distinctions. but it helps linguists figure out how languages are related, which has helped us know how various civilizations spread and when and where.
9:02 am
Haz1558
It's okay, I had found it earlier in the day and had totally forgotten that the sa4 was there.
9:03 am
jmcnrick
well that is something i can understand a use for hursh. . .the traveling of languages is facinating if beyond my reach
9:03 am
jmcnrick
maybe i should make margaritas instead and use the sa**?

pandemic consonants
9:04 am
Haz1558
Linguistics is pretty technical, I did a year at university and thought I'd lost the will to live when they got onto transformational grammar.
9:04 am
boatierra
"pandemic consonants" - Funny!
9:04 am
jmcnrick
what do you transform into?
9:04 am
Haz1558
I mean, I like grammar a lot but that was beyond me.

9:07 am

I've breached 2000 points. I'm out of here. Thank you everyone for the clue help earlier :)
9:07 am
jmcnrick
omg it was created by noam chomsky!!!
9:07 am
BabbleRabble
This will clear it up: In linguistics, a transformational grammar or transformational-generative grammar (TGG) is a generative grammar, especially of a natural language, that has been developed in the Chomskyan tradition of phrase structure grammars (as opposed to dependency grammars). Additionally, transformational grammar is the tradition that gives rise to specific transformational grammars. Much current research in transformational grammar is inspired by Chomsky's Minimalist Program.[1]
9:08 am
Haz1558
Ah yes, Chomsky was oft quoted.
9:08 am
jmcnrick
i read it BR and i still have no clue! haha
9:08 am
Haz1558
See why I used to be slightly bewildered?

The Doc gave me a Z-pack antiobiotic and an albuteral inhaler and to take Mucinex - didnt work
9:57 am
Scrabbler
If you have pertussis then you will cough for 90-100 days and nothing will help. It would be post-infectious bronchial hyperresponsiveness. It could be "walking pneumonia"--takes 6-8 wks to improve and at this point an antibiotic won't help. Have you had a chest x-ray?
9:57 am
wvteach
found a You Tube clip that talks about the CR 5 and actually shows it being played - sounds close to a violin or psaltery
9:58 am
Scrabbler
Mucinex, like other cold/cough meds, is useless.
9:58 am
hurshy
oh head, why must you ac4!
9:58 am
Riverdance
no chest x-ray yet - will see what she says this afternoon....this all started on Jan 4

Right, I must get some paperwork done - enjoy the grid and have a good day and may all your cr6/36 stay in good tune.

I agree about the mucinex - $14.00 box and did no good at all

Cold and cough meds are frequently recommended or prescribed by health providers but the truth is: waste of money, ineffective, and bad side effects.
9:59 am
72 Temple Owl
i think mucinex is good for bronchitis cough
9:59 am
MollyL
*Puts bubble wrap around River* It's been one health thing after another for you lately.
9:59 am
72 Temple Owl
if you have mucus to loosen
10:00 am

wouldn't it work just as well to keep really hydrated?
10:00 am
MollyL
Scrabs, I agree 100%
10:00 am
72 Temple Owl
helped me but only taken for that specifically.
10:00 am

♪With coughs they have heard ♫ for a thousand years ♫
10:01 am
Scrabbler
Riverdance, you could very well have pertussis--coughing spasms, exhausting, used to be called the "100-day cough", and antibiotic treatment would be useless at this point.
10:01 am
rururocks
I drink all day too river.. but I'm not sure that wine really hydrates me enough
10:02 am
uusue2
and Molly and river and Judi and scrabs and ruru!
10:02 am

10:04 am
Dorens
well, yes, it would be if you're a 49 ers fan. They had a few great minutes there after the power outage, though. Gave me a tense few minutes
10:04 am
Dorens
EVERYone hated the godaddy
10:04 am

My dislike of the Ravens has increased ten fold. Especially after that Cory Williams shove to the official.

10:05 am
Riverdance
I missed Taco Bell that I heard was grat
10:05 am

10:05 am

I missed the godaddy too but liked the clydesdales and the doritos ad with the little girl and her dad
10:06 am
Riverdance
very slow chat response time today
10:06 am
Judi
Hee hee. The Taco Bell one was just off the wall.
10:06 am
MollyL
And then Ray Lewis "If God is for you, who can be against you"...I guess that makes the 49ers organization a pack of God hating heathens.
10:06 am
72 Temple Owl
yes taco bell was good and thankfully we had good foof beause the bell was right across the parking lot! Doritos taco loco!
10:06 am

10:08 am

Or as if "God" cares about a football game outcome
10:09 am

yes, I always thought it would be an odd deity that would care about the outcome of a sports contest
10:09 am

Definitely a keeper vet, then, ruby. I've been thinking of switching vets; but I've been too lazy to do so (my friend tells me that he's more expensive than others in the area) But he's the closest to us
12:46 pm
rubyfoo
she's been coming for about 6 years
12:46 pm
Nef
The good news is that our pets haven't ever had many problems, so it isn't at the top of my priority list.
12:46 pm
rubyfoo
the old vet would make housecalls for Max, but he charged a fortune and she charges very little and doesn't mark up the (expensive) meds
12:47 pm
rubyfoo
Max had what looked like mange but I think was just OCD and the Prozac I put him on, helped that
12:47 pm
Nef
that's really nice of her!
12:49 pm
rubyfoo
we're very lucky
12:50 pm

80 left and I'll say good night. Have fun, Nef and famille. Bye everybody

Yes but for you Canadian people, early Spring means mid August, right?
3:56 pm
crosshair
well,with global warming we are actually getting rid of the snow by mid june now!!:)))
3:59 pm
crosshair
tbh,i am glad to see a good old fashioned snowfall like this again.the last three winters were wimpy and pathetic.you never realize how badly you miss snowshoeing,skiing,snowmobiling etc untill you have 2 years without it

we all go down just wearing running shoes on bare feet and housecoats with our swim trunks on underneath and once the cameras are rolling we kick of the shoes,drop the housecoats and dive in amongst the ice and water;)) great fun and good for the pores:))
4:30 pm
periwinkle
hi all
4:31 pm
MollyL
Must be a cultural difference. I always think of housecoats as for women.
4:31 pm
periwinkle
maybe he means robe, Molls
4:31 pm
periwinkle
help with ra7 pls
4:32 pm
MollyL
Oh I'm sure that is what was meant. I've just never heard the term housecoat used for men. No biggie.
4:32 pm

Hi peri :)
4:32 pm

must be a canadian thing
4:32 pm

ra7 is a tool

4:40 pm

((((Peri)))) sorry for your loss
4:41 pm
jmcnrick
a ra7 is less of a tool than a mechanism used in tools to make them more versatile
4:41 pm
jmcnrick
<===knows tools
4:42 pm
periwinkle
ty jmc and Chrissie
4:42 pm
smores
so the tool is called a socket wrench and the mechanism is ra7?
4:42 pm
periwinkle
and smores
4:42 pm
jmcnrick
that is one kind of tool with a ra7 mechanism
4:43 pm
MollyL
*Thanks God Smores didn't get all panty wadded about the correction*
4:43 pm
jmcnrick
it is the tooth cog that allows the tool to turn in one direction and then move back in the other direction without moving the tool. . . some screwdrivers have them too
4:43 pm
smores
lol...the only one I am familiar with...I thought it was just called by 2 different names
4:44 pm
smores
My panties rarely get wadded Molly...lol
4:44 pm
jmcnrick
nope . . . and that is our lesson for the day! :-)
4:44 pm
smores
Well now I know...cool :)
4:44 pm
jmcnrick
mine are only wadded at the end of the day on the way to the dirty clothes basket
4:45 pm
jmcnrick
dang someone is at the door bbl
4:45 pm
MollyL
That is good. You have to walk on eggshells around here a lot of the time.
4:46 pm
smores
nah..hard to learn anything with wadded up panties :)
4:48 pm
MollyL
Also hard to have a sense of humor. It's the crankiness factor, I think.
4:48 pm
ChrissieDee
Help with the lone E in the second column for nbt please?
4:49 pm

Love the chat for clues, laughs and caring support. Ignore crankiness, niggles and disputes.
4:53 pm
smores
Agree Chrissie
4:53 pm
MollyL
Good advice Chrissie. I am grateful every day for the ability to turn chat off.
4:54 pm
MollyL
I have to deal with enough cranky people in real life. I don't need that in a chat on a game I play for fun.
4:54 pm
smores
Is there a way to turn it off Molly? I sometimes click the "who's online" tab when I don't want to see clues.
4:55 pm
MollyL
That's what I mean.
4:55 pm
ChrissieDee
Yes, life's too short Molly
4:56 pm
MollyL
And the main reason I have to turn chat off is because of people who just blurt out random clues one after another. I like to find words on my own.
4:57 pm
ChrissieDee
Sounding a bit cranky there Molly, lol
4:57 pm
smores
Me too, although I do use and apprecitate clues, I don't want them when I am 1st starting.
4:57 pm
smores
lol....apprecitate...hmmm new word
4:58 pm
smores
But I understand with all the different time zones, when I am first starting, many are finishing up.
4:59 pm
MollyL
I don't mind clues in chat, here and there when someone gets stuck. But lately, chat has just become one big clue fest. I tallied one day and almost every word in the grid (except a few 4s) had been clued. Isn't the whole purpose of this game to find the words on your own? Eh, I guess it is for me.
5:00 pm
smores
Wow, that's alot of clues
5:02 pm
smores
Soooo, in spite of all that, can I get a clue for the sa5/10 ? :)
5:03 pm

Hello all. Just getting started. Today is clothes washing and folding day. And I did that. Also we went into town with a list of things to do which included washing the car (I get coupons from my oil change dealer.)
5:29 pm
MollyL
Productive day, Gran Mere.
5:30 pm
stidgmere
Yes. I rarely do shopping but I wanted to get batteries for our phones and we needed some old fashioned expandable files for some paperwork. We took Murphy and he went through his first car wash. Maybe it was his last one, too.
5:31 pm
MollyL
I can see why a car wash would agitate a dog. : )
5:31 pm
stidgmere
Oh, sorry, I see I used a grid word.
5:33 pm
stidgmere
Well, Murphy was amazed but not agitated. I don't think I've ever seen him agitated. He gets really happy sometimes and runs around like he is a wind up tow.
5:33 pm
stidgmere
wind-up toy.
5:34 pm
smores
Hi again, sauce is simmering, back for a few more :)
5:34 pm
MollyL
And that probably doesn't work in the confines of a car.
5:35 pm

LOL, Molly, no, just spaghetti, and left over crusty bread from last night.
5:35 pm

Good morning from here / good afternoon / evening to you :)
5:35 pm

No. Our car is so small that the back seat is filled up when he lies down. I am going to get a bigger car when the 2014 cars are out. I don't want a 13 year car. It may be silly but there it is.
5:36 pm

Hi liz! Gray skies here with a tease a blue. The great Northwest is still in the middle of winter.
5:36 pm

Morning Liz :)
5:36 pm

Similar skies here today but much warmer I'm sure!
5:36 pm

We all have our superstitions Gran Mere.
5:37 pm

I suppose so Molly. Anyway I am enjoying the grid and the feeling of finishing a good day.
5:38 pm
Lizlin
It's a good grid. I've come back this am with 40 left - and am just listing. That's very good for me!
5:41 pm

Hi cybernan. How are you today.
5:54 pm
cybernan
hi stidg -- haven't seen you here for awhile. How have you been?
5:54 pm
MollyL
Welsh words often don't have what we consider vowels in them.
5:56 pm
rnp
Clue the ta 7/32 plz
5:56 pm
ItalianGreyhound
can you pronounce that word please Molly?
5:56 pm
stidgmere
I'm fine. Cyber. Just enjoying the simple pleasures of life.
5:59 pm
ItalianGreyhound
dont see a ta 7/32, rnp 7/28?
6:00 pm
rnp
Yes the 7/28 plz
6:00 pm
Lizlin
The w in the Welsh word is pronounced similar to a "short sounding oo" - I lived near Cardiff for a while and there was a town there called Cwm Bran - pronounced coom
6:00 pm
Lizlin
Or like the u in the name Ruth
6:00 pm
ItalianGreyhound
more of the preceding ta 5/10
6:02 pm
ItalianGreyhound
like "crooth" Liz?
6:02 pm
Lizlin
Yes - but it's quite a short sound.
6:03 pm
Lizlin
Possibly more like "book"
6:03 pm
Lizlin
Desperately trying to think of sounds, that match!
6:04 pm
cybernan
did anyone find that cr 5/22?
6:04 pm
ItalianGreyhound
no worries - dont think i'll be using it in conversation!
6:05 pm
Lizlin
Me neither - that's the word we're talking about nan :)
6:05 pm
ItalianGreyhound
i tried to clue it at 5:51 Nan
6:06 pm

I made my own turkey mole from scratch one Thanksgiving many years ago - it was delicious but a lot of work
7:40 pm
Bugsaw
I wondered if it was English!
7:40 pm
saanichcat

7:46 pm
saanichcat
Lotus Land of Canada, near Victoria on Vancouver Island
7:46 pm
Jillyjill
And we should be below zero...
7:46 pm
wht
The only sign of spring we have is that there was still just a hint of light in the sky as I was driving home from work at 6:00 pm
7:47 pm
Bugsaw
Saanichcat is at the low end of Vancouver Island and I am half way up so we get spring just after them. Stidmama is about the same distance farther south and her garden is going nuts
7:47 pm
MollyL
It's a wee bit lighter in the early morning too.
7:47 pm
saanichcat
Butchert Gardens is just across the cove.
7:47 pm
Jillyjill
Ahhh, that is very pretty place...
7:47 pm
Bugsaw
can you sit outside on a summer evening and enjoy the fireworks Saanich?
7:47 pm
MollyL
Never heard of a garden going nuts in early February. Even way south of here.
7:48 pm
Jillyjill
Not quite half way yet...but gotta locate something to fill my tummy
7:48 pm
saanichcat
Sure is. I usually get a season pass. go for a walk whenever I want
7:48 pm
Bugsaw
stid was pretty suprised herself
7:49 pm
MollyL
I hope it's hearty stuff growing because there is nowhere in the US that is past a hard freeze at this point.
7:50 pm
wht
It snowed here in Boston all day and we didn't even get an inch.
7:50 pm
saanichcat
Bugs, it's a Saturday night tradition! We all go down with wine or whatever, go for a swim. The cove is wall-to-wall with small boats getting a free view too. The tress have frown over the years so we onlt see the high ones. Best night is the last one, when they use up left-over fireworks. Then a bunch of us take a picnic into the Gardens. Fun!
7:50 pm
HarryHood
you see some daffodils poking up here - mostly the ones that are planted way too shallow in peat
7:51 pm
Bugsaw
she sounded worried about another freeze and it is entirely possible.
7:51 pm
uusue2
she's in western Washington, Molly, the weather there is pretty mild
7:52 pm
MollyL
Same here Harry, about the shallow daffodils.
7:52 pm
saanichcat
February usually brings cold weather where I am.
7:52 pm
Bugsaw
that sounds like so much fun saanich
7:52 pm
HarryHood
I always wonder if they die after the first time they poke out
7:52 pm
Bugsaw
It has been over 20 years since I visited the gardens
7:52 pm

DONE! I couldn't find my last word, and it was my favorite nut!
8:12 pm

8:12 pm

8:13 pm
welki
now they're on a 1966 mercedes 230 sl convertible - gorgeous
8:13 pm
Bugsaw
well done Harry and hi welki
8:14 pm

But how much would you have had to put into the Lancia to keep it running since 1956?
8:14 pm
HarryHood
gnight!
8:14 pm
welki
i have a friend who goes down to the barrett-jackson auctions - must be nice :)
8:14 pm
welki
the lancia was restored, the mercedes is completely 'as is' and is an extraordinary vehicle
8:15 pm
lynxxx
if you could afford those cars, you would employ your own mechanic wouldn't you?
8:15 pm
welki
the evaluator just put a $75,000 price on the mercedes, the owner is looking for $100,000 - we shall see
8:15 pm
welki
oh lynxx, if i had that kind of money .... yeah, a mechanic, jay leno's mechanic!
8:16 pm
welki
('night harry)
8:16 pm
wht
I had "vintage" Saab 96 once. I don't know how many miles were on it and it didn't matter since neither the engine nor the odometer were original.
8:16 pm
welki
in case - jay leno is a late night tv host/comedian - has an incredible collection of beautiful and unique vehicles
8:16 pm
lynxxx
yeah - his 'garage' is amazing
8:17 pm
welki
oh wht! i've had 7 saabs - i had an 86 9000 turbo - that was my first one! love them!!
8:18 pm

8:18 pm
Bugsaw
I had a 1975 Saab once. It was the only year they ever made a lemon. It drove like a charm but the cost to fix it was horrendous
8:18 pm
wht
But it did come with the dealer's service manual. I was just looking through it once and saw some procedure. The first step was 1) Remove engine. I decided I would probably not be doing that in my driveway anytime soon.
8:18 pm
welki
of course, like jmc, they are worth nothing now
8:19 pm
welki
<-- has the service manual for jmc when i come visit
8:19 pm
wht
jmc is not worth nothing.
8:19 pm
welki
oh that's right, get me into trouble, wht - the CAR is worth nothing now (she has a saab 9-3)
8:19 pm
lynxxx
lol, I was going to ask what Welki was saying too!
8:20 pm
wht
My Saab 96 thought it was a Saab 93 with the 2-stroke engine. It still took a quart of oil every time I filled the gas.
8:21 pm
welki
and i've had very few problems with the saabs - the 86 9000 had 400,000 miles on it when i sold it
8:22 pm
syb215
hello...could i get a clue for the em's

I'm sure you didn't mean to, and don't give it another thought. If people want to be cranky, we must let them, I suppose.

Agree Une, however certain dogs are much scarier than others if they do become aggressive. Pit bull, Rotts, Dobermans are the ones I am most cautious of.

I understand, smores, it's just that pit bulls get such a bad rap -- mostly undeserved

I had never been exposed to pitties until I started doing rescue transport -- it's been an eye opener for me -- I had heard nothing but scary stories about them before
10:03 pm
MollyL
I don't think it's undeserved. Those breeds would not have the bad raps that they do if they were not constantly involved in attacks.
10:05 pm
MollyL
It is nice, isn't it Tor? Sometimes I think we need to stock the PB with Midol and estrogen supplements.
10:07 pm
smores
I think we hear more when it's a pit because the attack is more severe. That is why certain breeds scare me more. I think chihauhas are more aggresive and bite more people than pits, they just don't do much damage.

My ex used to say that he would much rather be approached by a stoner than a drunk in a dark alley. Because all the stoner was going to do was ask him if he had any Cheetos.
10:09 pm

Besides if I wanted to get my panties in a wad Id go on Facebook :0
10:10 pm

lol Molly.. when Amendment 64 passed in November here, the governor replied with "dont break out the cheetos and goldfish yet"
10:10 pm
MollyL
One of the many reasons I stay away from Facebook. Histrionics Central.
10:10 pm
cosdem
well the pro amendment 64 campaign sent him a shipment of cheetos and goldfish when he eventually signed it into law :P
