Hi all

3:03 am

rubyfoo

good morning

3:04 am

medusa

Hi ruby. Hows you?

3:04 am

rubyfoo

it's the coldest one, so far

3:04 am

medusa

It's quite cold here too.

3:04 am

rubyfoo

I'm happy

3:05 am

rubyfoo

It's much colder than last Dec

3:06 am

rubyfoo

The dogs love it; they are built for cold with incredibly dense coats

3:07 am

medusa

I et. Mine don't like the cold so much. They are not built for it the boys do love to play in snow though. lol

3:07 am

rubyfoo

and it's great for sleeping, getting up is the only problem lol

3:08 am

rubyfoo

Years ago, when we first moved here I had a big male chow who, although he had never seen snow before, used to make tunnels

3:09 am

medusa

Bless him!

3:10 am

rubyfoo

I've had è chows over the years, each one different, but they all liked the cold.

3:11 am

rubyfoo

They'll be fi** as long as a furrier doesn't see them!

3:11 am

rubyfoo

lion

3:11 am

rubyfoo

sorry

3:11 am

medusa

lol

3:14 am

rubyfoo

what kind of dog(s) do you have, Medusa

3:15 am

medusa

I have 2 Italian whippets and a stffie cross chi.

3:15 am

medusa

The Italian whippets are boys and the staffie is a girl. She is only 6 months old.

3:17 am

rubyfoo

I've only known one whippet but he was sleek and grey and very sweet

3:18 am

medusa

The boys are so sweet. Had a bad start. They are more Italian greyhound than whippet.

3:19 am

rubyfoo

Is the staffie similar to a pit? Probably very nice and smart, probably wraps the boys around her big paw

3:20 am

rubyfoo

There must be a special place in Heaven for people who adopt dogs with checkered pasts

3:21 am

medusa

Staffie are a pit breed. Staffie is short for staffordshire bull terrier. She is so lovable it is unreal. She just wants to give everyone kisses all the time. Staffies are not big dogs. I think they are the smallest pit breed.

3:21 am

medusa

They are very lovable, full of energy and just want to be loved. They have such a bad wrap over here coz young people get them, don't know how to treat them then end up with a nasty dog.

3:22 am

rubyfoo

I think they're outlawed in France but I've seen photos and really love the way pit breeds look, also mastiffs.

3:22 am

rubyfoo

I'm not a fan of small dogs

3:23 am

medusa

I think so. I got my boys off gumtree, free to good home. I only wnted 1dog but when I heard his brother needed a home and he ws free too I could not say no. Would have forever worried where he had gone.

3:23 am

rubyfoo

The only bad expeeiences I've had have been with golden retrievers

3:24 am

medusa

I never was a fan of small dogs but I would not be able to handle a big dog coz of my back. I love pit breeds too. Such affectionate dogs that get a bad name coz of the monsters who train them to fight and make them vicious.

3:24 am

medusa

And yet they use them as guide dogs!

3:25 am

rubyfoo

I can't walk my dogs, either, but the garden is secure and a friend walks them

3:26 am

rubyfoo

And the male is a wonderful guard dog who has really stepped up since my husband is in the "home"

3:27 am

medusa

They do make you feel safe don't they? I think Purl will be a great guard dog when she is fully grown. She goes nuts at the slightest sound outside.

3:29 am

medusa

Does anyone have stats for the 4th row e please?

3:30 am

rubyfoo

chows, not noted by their intelligence, can distinguish between the cars of friends and those of strangers. This village is a prime target for thieves, but the boy, Ruffino, makes me feel secure

3:31 am

rubyfoo

I don't have much yet, but will look

3:32 am

medusa

That is good. Staffie are known to be very intelligent dogs and so are chis so I got 1 clever little madam here. Italian greyhounds are very clever too.

3:32 am

medusa

Ok. Thanks. Just need one on there for nbt

3:35 am

rubyfoo

en5/12

3:36 am

medusa

thaks

3:39 am

medusa

have you got a clue for that?

3:39 am

rubyfoo

"Watch out for that nurse!"

3:40 am

medusa

Not getting that.

3:40 am

rubyfoo

does that help?

3:41 am

rubyfoo

colonic

3:42 am

medusa

Bloody laptop froze!

3:43 am

medusa

It don't help that Alfie insists on a hug right now. lol

3:43 am

rubyfoo

the only thing good about the laptop is that I can sit by the fire

3:44 am

medusa

I don'thave a fire, just heaters. would love a fire though

3:45 am

rubyfoo

the heated floor shorted out the énd year we were here and althoguh there are some radiators, they don't do much

3:46 am

rubyfoo

second year*

3:46 am

medusa

I have a storage heater. Even worse

3:47 am

medusa

Still not getting the clues! Feeling dumb today. lol

3:47 am

rubyfoo

did you get the clue? I have to jump in the tub while the housekeeper is here. Having seen Psycho, I'm afraid to bathe when I'm alone in the house

3:48 am

medusa

No problem hun

3:48 am

rubyfoo

like am' but backwards and with an added vowel at the end

3:49 am

rubyfoo

am4 backwards

3:49 am

medusa

Not got am4. lol

3:49 am

rubyfoo

TY for the lovely dog chat. See yoyu later

3:49 am

medusa

Got it1 lol

3:50 am

rubyfoo

am* to that! lol

3:50 am

medusa

Welcome. Speak soon. Have a nice soak. xx

mattygroves

Yes!

5:36 am

bubba218

very hard, just finished

5:36 am

car.eeyore

Congrats!

5:36 am

mattygroves

I've 50 left but struggling with Es (and congrats indeed)

5:37 am

bubba218

just felt there was no flow to the grid.

5:37 am

car.eeyore

I have three still with O

5:37 am

mattygroves

Have you got the en6/7 combo (I assume it's a combo?)

5:37 am

bubba218

en, think of teeth covering

5:38 am

5:38 am

mattygroves

Aaah - that's the 6 - is the 7 not related?

5:39 am

mattygroves

NM, found it :)

5:39 am

car.eeyore

5:40 am

mattygroves

en + vowel + where you dig gold from

Good morning

5:41 am

car.eeyore

Hi sukee

5:41 am

lbdawger

ty, matty and hi Sukee

5:41 am

mattygroves

I'm not there yet - I find everything I can without a list, and then list when I need to. I have fairly just started listing :)

5:42 am

MollyL

(Thinks Car has seen too much Despicable Me)

5:42 am

mattygroves

But I did get that word, yes ;)

5:42 am

car.eeyore

Love Despicable Me...not so happy with all those "things" everywhere

5:42 am

car.eeyore

They are cute...to a point.

5:42 am

car.eeyore

whoops...PB for me.

5:42 am

mattygroves

I am so over them

5:43 am

bubba218

got to go, hours of entering into my EHR

5:43 am

sukee

Yes, I am tired of them, even though I have a Tshirt with them stealing the Tardis.

5:43 am

mattygroves

Finally, the Es are history

5:43 am

MollyL

Between those and the Frozen paraphernalia, the media is saturated. Dr. Who stuff runs a close third.

5:43 am

car.eeyore

No!!!!!

5:44 am

car.eeyore

HAGD bubba

5:44 am

sukee

Nope Star Wars has dwarfed them all.

5:44 am

car.eeyore

We don't have enough Dr. Who in my neighborhood

5:45 am

mattygroves

I am a Who fan (both the show and the rock group, come to that)

5:45 am

car.eeyore

There is a car ad (Dodge, I think) that plays the Imperial March. Well, that is my ringtone for my phone and it sends me into fits everytime it is on.

5:46 am

mattygroves

I so fear the new movie will be nearer the prequel in quality than the original...but maybe I'm just a cynic

5:46 am

sukee

Hey, me too matty.

5:46 am

mattygroves

Great minds, sukee!

5:46 am

car.eeyore

I really doubt they would make that poor of a movie again for this franchise.

5:47 am

mattygroves

Oh, I believe they could (and to be fair, I don't think they set out to make poor movies for the prequels, it just worked out that way)

5:47 am

sukee

The original 3 were just so good and almost perfect.

5:48 am

sukee

But, I was younger then... :)

5:48 am

car.eeyore

I don't even like watching the original IV and V with the updated quality and computer stuff. I like it the way it was.

5:48 am

car.eeyore

I pretend that VI doesn't exist.

5:48 am

mattygroves

And the original is called Star Wars. Just Star Wars ;)

5:50 am

sukee

I only saw IV of the prequel, didn't bother with the others.

5:50 am

sukee

In comparison, I saw the first 3 movies at least 4 times each.

5:52 am

mattygroves

Is the go6/24 a word I'd likely be familiar with?

5:53 am

car.eeyore

I don't have it yet

5:54 am

car.eeyore

Its not a plural of the GO 5, I can tell you that much

5:55 am

mattygroves

Heh, yeah :)

5:55 am

mattygroves

Gah - the 9 is an IN...

5:56 am

mattygroves

I found it! Hurrah

5:57 am

MollyL

I doubt you would use go6 in conversation, but it has been in grids before

5:58 am

mattygroves

OK, thanks. Still half looking (I have moved off on the basis that maybe if I stop looking for it it'll jump out at me)

6:03 am

sukee

Breakfast time, will be back

6:07 am

mattygroves

Does the me7 start with the same four letters as make up the me4 before it?

6:10 am

medusa

mine definitely don't get hand fed.

7:46 am

rubyfoo

Rufie is like a bottomless pit; he will eat absolutely anything, especially if I'm eating it: today it was brandade (codfish and potatoes, smushed up).

7:46 am

bichon

I have to keep all food up high and Polo will chomp on underwear, etc

7:47 am

medusa

Mine eat anything too. I am lucky that way. Pleased you found a way to get food in your girl ruby

7:47 am

medusa

I have lost quite a bit of underwear since I have had Purl bichon. lol

7:48 am

bichon

You have a fluff medusa?

7:48 am

medusa

Lots of. I have a black hairball cat and 3 dogs.

7:49 am

rubyfoo

Raffie, who has a great sense of humor, will grab something (dirty clothes, slippers, etc.) and run like crazy out into the garden, laughing all the way

7:49 am

bichon

a Bichon?

7:49 am

medusa

No. 2 Italian whippets and a staffie cross chi

7:49 am

bichon

okay

7:49 am

rubyfoo

<-- loves dog chat!

7:50 am

medusa

Same here ruby.

7:50 am

bichon

I don't know an Italian whippet. Are they the really small ones?

7:51 am

bichon

okay, not the Italian greyhound

7:51 am

rubyfoo

they are like small, beautiful greyhounds, I think, but with better dispositions

7:51 am

medusa

Italian whippets are Italian greyhounds crossed with whippets. The Italian greyhounds are tiny. My boys are only 15 ins tts. What they lack in size they make up for in character I can tell you. lol

7:52 am

rubyfoo

how much do they weigh?

7:52 am

medusa

Is there a clue for the to7 please?

7:52 am

bichon

I've seen the greyhounds and they seem quite delicate, sort of the opposite of a Bichon

7:53 am

medusa

Don't know how much they weigh but they are very light to pick up

7:53 am

medusa

The iggys are very delicate. Whippets are a bit tougher

7:54 am

rubyfoo

Rufie weighs about 80 lbs, Raffie about 70 something

7:54 am

rubyfoo

they are not delicate!

7:54 am

bichon

Bichons are very sturdily built. Belies their image

7:55 am

bichon

im 6/24, pls

7:55 am

medusa

Just waiting for money to be sorted then will be getting them to the vets for a check up. They need claws clipping and flea treatment

7:55 am

medusa

I know someone with a bichon. Very cute little things.

7:56 am

medusa

Not got that yet bichon. Willhelp you look though

7:56 am

rubyfoo

I'd be afraid of stepping on a small dog. When I step on mine, they just laugh....

7:56 am

bichon

I do the flea treatment myself, it just goes on their back and lasts a month. Considering how warm it's been here, I'm worrying

7:56 am

rubyfoo

It's worse when they step on (or sit on) me

7:56 am

medusa

I do too but need to get some more.

7:56 am

medusa

lol

7:57 am

medusa

I remember when I was a kid we had an old english sheepdog. He was lovely. Only thing was he liked to warm your feet for you!

7:57 am

rubyfoo

I think I must sound like a crazy when I talk about my pups

7:58 am

rubyfoo

my girl tries to give me baths

7:58 am

medusa

Me too. People think I am talking about my children most of the time. lol

7:58 am

rubyfoo

I carry pix of the dogs, not my son

7:58 am

medusa

i get constant snogs here! If its not 1 its another.

7:59 am

medusa

I have a pic on my phone i show everyone.

7:59 am

rubyfoo

The girl stays outside most of the time but the boy likes to know where I am and makes sure I'm safe, especially with Burt go

8:00 am

rubyfoo

gone*

8:00 am

medusa

Mine are all known as velcro dogs. That is the 4 breeds in them!

8:02 am

What began as a civilised lunch quicky degenerated into a session. Sigh. And Hi Bjojazz .... Wouldn't Christmas Dinner be so easy if we bought Christmas Tinners?

4:45 pm

bojazz

It looks as though it might be interestingly tasty ... yes?

4:46 pm

Soodle

it looks like dog-food!!! Lol

4:46 pm

bojazz

lol - you're right

4:48 pm

Soodle

i'm going with the traditional fare of turkey & ham. Plus trimmings. Turkey & ham

4:49 pm

sorry. Turkey & ham ordered & paid for. Everything else will take care of itself!

4:49 pm

don't forget the turkey & ham...

4:49 pm

We do roast beef for dinner. It is the one time of year that I splurge on a beef tenderloin.

4:51 pm

MollyL

Oops, roast beef for Christmas dinner. We are all turkeyed out after Thanksgiving.

4:52 pm

Soodle

Well you guys did the whole turkey thing less than a month ago.... My preference would be a nice roast beef dinner over turkey, but to say thT out loud here would be a hanging offence

4:54 pm

therealblah

love turkey tho and we only do it 2x a year in general

4:55 pm

therealblah

probably love the sides more, lol

4:55 pm

MollyL

I try to spread the big hunks of meat out over the holidays. Turkey for Thanksgiving, Roast Beef for Christmas and Ham for Easter. Turkey and Ham at one dinner would be overkill for my clan.

4:57 pm

Soodle

I would very much like a nice quiet Christmas here at home with my kids. However, my Mom is joining us again & she can inject an air of gloon into the happiest of situations. She is a derply unhappy old lady & she likes to share her dissatisfaction. :-(

4:59 pm

ch1212

This year it's just my beloved and me, so we're doing 'snack day'. ..... Soodle, your mom sounds like my MIL, and beloved and I are both grateful she lives in a kingdom far, far away.

Molly, do you do anything for New Year's Day/Eve dinner?

5:00 pm

Soodle, my mom was like that as well.

5:00 pm

My mother was not deeply unhappy, but she did seem to need to be the center of attention. I don't miss that at holiday time. We do pork tenderloin and black-eyed peas for New Years.

It led to much over-imbibing in order to cope

in my case only sarcastically, or when I'm pissed at him lol

ch1212

My MIL actually opened a gift one time, said "Oh I have these at home, I don't need more" in a irritated tone of voice, and then TOSSED IT back across the table at me. ....

Molly, I'm not sure how to respond to your comment.

5:04 pm

MollyL

Oh, just wondering about terminology. "My beloved" sounds like something you would read in a poem written in the 1800's.

Hello crosshair! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid.

8:41 pm

welki

hi, everyone

8:42 pm

Minveryork

Hi welki!How are you doing today? Welcome to the chog.

8:44 pm

welki

how're you doing, min? been a while

8:50 pm

Minveryork

I am doing well Welki,but I am totally shaking my head at my husbands response to the GOP debate on TV. I do not get his train of thoughts, but he does not get mi4 either.

8:52 pm

HarryHood

I can't bear to watch political debates - I'm depressed enough as it is

8:53 pm

Minveryork

Does anyone have clues for an li8/45 word,probably fishy

8:53 pm

Minveryork

I watched the first 2, Then decided not to waste my time

8:54 pm

HarryHood

I honestly have no idea what I'm going to do come election day.

8:54 pm

HarryHood

It's all so discouraging

8:54 pm

NANCY

li is what you rub on something that is sore to make it feel better

8:55 pm

HarryHood

ty nancy - my first 8

8:55 pm

MollyL

Harry, I won't vote unless I feel like there is someone worth voting for. It's been a long time since I have voted.

8:55 pm

NANCY

welcome

8:55 pm

Minveryork

I don't know what's worse for me, listening to debates or listening to my husbands response's to the debates.Either one is like listening to nails on a chalkboard.

8:55 pm

HarryHood

I'm kind of hoping against hope that mike bloomberg jumps in as a third part ycandidate at the 11th hour

8:56 pm

HarryHood

I'd vote for him.

8:56 pm

NANCY

min, did you get the li 8 that I clued

8:57 pm

Minveryork

No. I saw that clue before and I did not get. Sorry Nancy.

8:58 pm

welki

i always vote, even by absentee ballot

8:58 pm

NANCY

min, ends like oint----

8:59 pm

Minveryork

Me too welki. I feel it is my duty to vote and if you don't vote, then don't complain about who is in office.

8:59 pm

HarryHood

in more pleasant news, I just got nbt!

8:59 pm

Minveryork

I found the li8/45 word finally! Thank you so much Nancy

9:00 pm

MollyL

I feel like it is my right to vote, not my duty, and I only have to vote if I believe in one of the candidates running for election.

9:01 pm

HarryHood

I hear you Molly - I usually vote for national elections. I'm so out of touch with local politics here that I haven't been voting.

9:01 pm

Minveryork

Yes,misuse of words Molly.It is a right & privilege to vote

9:01 pm

Minveryork

Honestly,I am not well informed when it come to politics

9:01 pm

MollyL

And I don't think you get to complain if you vote for a candidate that you really don't believe in.

9:02 pm

Minveryork

L's Locked! 4 left

9:02 pm

HarryHood

don't think I'll be finishing this grid - started too late and it seems tough.

9:03 pm

MollyL

Harry, as busy as you are, I am amazed you even get around to these grids.

9:03 pm

HarryHood

everybody needs a hobby :)

9:04 pm

Minveryork

Yes,very tough grid. I started late too, but determined to finish. Still have not done any lesson plans for school yet.

9:04 pm

HarryHood

I haven't done a proper lesson plan in more than 10 years.

9:05 pm

HarryHood

a few words scribbled on my planner is my lesson plan

9:06 pm

MollyL

I don't recommend that anyone spend a lot of time on this grid. I think it is one of the most annoying grids in a long time.

9:06 pm

Minveryork

I am not that busy,but somehow I still find it hard to find time to Babble during the week. I usually have priorities straight: work first and then babble. Not so true tonight.

9:06 pm

HarryHood

I would really like to get halfway though - 10 more words

9:07 pm

Minveryork

Can I have a clue please for the last 1m 6/21 word MollyL

9:08 pm

Minveryork

*last am 6/21

9:16 pm

Minveryork

I found the am 6/21 word, however, it can't be pluralled.

9:17 pm

Minveryork

Does anybody have a clue for that last am 7/32 word yet?

9:19 pm

HarryHood

I don't have an am7

9:20 pm

HarryHood

9:20 pm

9:21 pm

HarryHood

9:22 pm

Minveryork

Thank you welki! I found the am7/32 word. 2 more words

Minveryork

9:43 pm

Minveryork

Goodbye welki! Nice to see you here. Have a good night!

10:02 pm

Nef

Good evening. I've found this grid to be very frustrating & I give up already. :-(

10:04 pm

stidmama

*sneaks in and hugs nef gently*

10:04 pm

stidmama

how are you doing today?

10:05 pm

Nef

"hi stid. as usual, i found several short words after i wrote that

10:05 pm

stidmama

:-)

10:05 pm

stidmama

I am only down to 90. Won't finish, but it was fun to play for a bit.

10:05 pm

Nef

Doing okay. Each day is better than the one before;

10:07 pm

Nef

Ha. I've only found about 50 words so far; haven't even gotten to 100 left

10:07 pm

stidmama

;-) at least you are not trying to keep 24 third graders "grounded" this week! --not that I would trade with you...

10:07 pm

stidmama

go Nef go!

10:08 pm

Nef

I was wondering how it was going this month. My grandson is counting down until school is out and then Christmas

10:09 pm

stidmama

They are doing their best. I get better at managing the energy and picking manageable goals for this two-month period every year, but I am not sure I will ever be fully prepared for the level of strangeness.

10:10 pm

Nef

Igot the funniest phone call from him today: "Geema; I got my shot & I didn't scream. They told me it wouldn't hurt all day; so they gave me my shot; I got my bandage; & I was out of there! Just what I wanted. Good BYE!"

10:11 pm

stidmama

:-D What a great phone call

10:12 pm

Nef

I was so proud of him but he hung up before I could tell him

10:13 pm

stidmama

I love kids. Today I just about burst with pride when my students were ALL appropriately sharing ideas and working together on something. I am getting to be a "good enough" teacher and there is at least one point every day now (even on days when they are really out of it!) when that happens. It keeps me going.

10:15 pm

Nef

LOL! Do you remember when yousaid a few years ago that you weren't sure about teaching the younger kids? :-)

10:15 pm

stidmama

um, yeah...

10:16 pm

Nef

(I'm SO proud of you & how you're doing?

10:16 pm

Nef

Sorry, should have been an exclamation point at the end, not a ?

10:16 pm

stidmama

thanks!

10:17 pm

Nef

:-D

10:17 pm

stidmama

And the house is really not so bad now -- we have a semi-permanent houseguest, so I have boxes in the living room again, but it's not as bad as it was even a few months ago, organization-wise. So... if you are ever out thisaway, you know there's a place for you!

10:18 pm

Nef

Someday I will get there, stid. not sure when but I want to meet you IRL

10:18 pm

Nef

a semi-permanent house guest?

10:19 pm

stidmama

A friend who needs a place for a while, no end-date, but not intended to be permanent.

10:20 pm

Nef

But it sounds like you have the room for them; and so far it's working out?

10:21 pm

stidmama

yes, for the two days she has been here. I love having the space that we can do this. I can't help everyone, but I can help one person at a time. And I am fortunate to have a partner who is kind enough too.

10:22 pm

Nef

That's lovely! Having the space to help someone is nice too

10:23 pm

stidmama

We will meet, Nef. I am certain of it.

10:23 pm

Nef

Me too stid

10:24 pm

stidmama

I have that lovely book of medicinal plants you sent me -- it makes me smile every time I open in.

10:24 pm

stidmama

okay. My ONE goal in the grid today is to have NBT. Is that so much to ask? APPARENTLY SO.

10:25 pm

Nef

LOL! I'm glad you like it. We have so many books; (& so many I haven't been able to read yet)

10:25 pm

stidmama

*grumble* the E in the second column, second row up?

10:25 pm

Nef

Are you stuck on that 2nd column , 4th row E Like I am?

10:26 pm

stidmama

yep. YEP. *sigh*

10:26 pm

Nef

same here. :-(

10:26 pm

stidmama

would love to have second letter and/or count *scans lurker list in chog for possible help*

10:28 pm

Bugsaw

en6, 21 hard stuff on pots

10:28 pm

stidmama

*facepalm* thanks bug

10:28 pm

stidmama

bugS

10:28 pm

Bugsaw

hugs to you both

10:29 pm

Nef

Hi Bugs! Thank you so much!

10:29 pm

stidmama

how's our lovely big island today, bugs? It was cold/clammy all day today in the town I teach in, below freezing when I went to school -- well above when I left, but honestly it FELT so much colder.

10:30 pm

Bugsaw

it is cold here too and I am tired of storms. We all run outside and spin on the lawn whenever it dries up.

10:30 pm

stidmama

LOL sounds familiar

10:31 pm

stidmama

oooh. I found an 8!

10:31 pm

Nef

it's been cooler (mid 30's here) and misty all day & they kept saying we'd get some snow; but none here yet

10:31 pm

stidmama

and another one

10:31 pm

Nef

Go, GO stid!!

10:31 pm

stidmama

I am okay when there is no snow... unless it's a WHOLE LOT of snow that ties things up for a day or two and then melts in a chinook

10:32 pm

stidmama

I LOVE, adore, appreciate and live for winter chinooks!

10:32 pm

Bugsaw

I didn't know you got chinooks where you are stid. I loved them too when I lived in Alberta

10:32 pm

Nef

but it's the week before Christmas and this is Minnesota & *we* should have snow!

10:32 pm

stidmama

a chinook, Nef, is a very warm wind that comes across in the winter... they are lovely

10:33 pm

stidmama

true, you frozen northerners need the crunchy white stuff!

10:33 pm

Nef

Well; we don't have those here.

10:33 pm

stidmama

we don't get them very often, bugs; maybe that's why I love them so!

10:34 pm

Nef

I'd be happy with 4 - 6 inches of snow; it doesn't have to be a lot but it should look like Christmas

10:34 pm

TheByzantine

en 7/32 --- ends with area where ore is extracted.

10:35 pm

stidmama

thanks! I never considered that as a combo before!

10:35 pm

stidmama

I don't mind a dusting, Nef -- as long as I don't have to drive in it. Too many idiots around here with 4x4s

10:36 pm

Nef

Thanks Byzantine!

10:36 pm

Nef

Same here, stid; & they think that because they have a 4X$ they can drive too fast for the weather

10:37 pm

Nef

4X4

10:39 pm

Bugsaw

Our area is thinking of having changeable speed signs on the highways that will post lower speeds when the conditions are bad. I think it is a good idea

10:40 pm

Nef

That is a good idea. How will they post the signs for it though? (That would be the expensive part)

10:41 pm

Nef

WOOT! Just 100 words left!)

10:42 pm

Bugsaw

I would guess electronicaly from an office somewhere. I just heard about it on the news so who knows when it will be implemented

10:42 pm

Bugsaw

go Nef

10:48 pm

Nef

But that seems to be it. Bed time for me I guess. there aren't any more words visible now

10:49 pm

stidmama

there are some changeable lanes in the Seattle area, they really make things safer - smoother - and really faster when traffic is heavy because slowing down in heavy traffic means fewer accidents

10:49 pm

stidmama

sweet dreams Nef. I stalled at 66

10:49 pm

TheByzantine

et 6/18 -- vowels bookmarking a synonym of moil

10:50 pm

Nef

Sweet dreams to both of you Bugs & stid. sleep well & have great days tomorrow!

10:50 pm

Nef

<poof>

10:51 pm

stidmama

thanks again Byzantine -- French "star"

10:55 pm

stidmama

I am out of here, too. It's time to sleep now!
