hurshy

but i'm waaaaay stuck

12:57 am

VolleymomDee

this grid does not flow easily

12:59 am

Douglas

Paula Deen is in the grid. Perhaps there'll be some comforting comfort food in the penalty box

12:59 am

hurshy

so the penalty is that you get fat

1:01 am

Douglas

That'll make people think twice about giving words in the chat

1:02 am

hurshy

1:04 am

hurshy

woohoo got my last W

1:04 am

VolleymomDee

you, too, rose!!

1:04 am

hurshy

more monkeying, that's the key

1:06 am

grannyrose

dee, i played in my garden today. alas 10 minute stints was all i could tolerate. then the shoulders, lower back and feet were going...just what do you think you are doing? lolll

1:07 am

VolleymomDee

Taking things very slowly is the key :)

1:09 am

grannyrose

it's so frustrating... i used to garden in 8 hour stretches.

1:10 am

VolleymomDee

I can empathize; now I have trouble with changing beds .. definitely not fun.

1:12 am

grannyrose

egad...bed linen change day !! it takes me all day to put the clean linen on the bed.

1:12 am

VolleymomDee

ditto that!

1:14 am

grannyrose

good (positive) thing... my next ketamine infusion is in two days. can you imagine? 24 hours totally pain-free.

1:14 am

flosey

only if I sit quietly that long!!!

1:14 am

VolleymomDee

Absolutely amazing, rose!!

1:15 am

VolleymomDee

Agree, flosey!

1:15 am

flosey

in fact, that would be painful

1:15 am

Kamanjah

Happy you'll be pain free for a bit, Rose!

1:15 am

Kamanjah

Hi everyone!

1:16 am

flosey

Hello Kamanjah

1:16 am

VolleymomDee

Hi kam!

1:16 am

grannyrose

hey ya kam!! {{hugs}} flosey

1:17 am

Kamanjah

Gardening sounds fun, but I can only do a bit at a time now too. Hubby is doing much better than I am - he's turning all the raised beds and has garlic and onions going quite nicely.

1:17 am

VolleymomDee

Congrats for hubby!

1:18 am

Kamanjah

Bless hubby, lol! Don't know what I'd do without him!

1:18 am

grannyrose

kam, we are planning on putting in raised beds. just so i can garden while sitting.

1:19 am

Kamanjah

I wish mine were taller!

1:19 am

flosey

raised beds - great idea

1:19 am

grannyrose

today i tried to stand and bend over. not too bad. but when the land became unlevel that's when the trouble started.

1:19 am

Kamanjah

A long time ago my mom got me a kneeling bench with a pad. The pad is long worn out, need to find a new one. The handles are great for helping to get back up!!

1:20 am

VolleymomDee

one of our friends raised all of her beds last summer; some as high as 4 feet off the ground.. she said it helped her immensely

1:20 am

Kamanjah

Uh oh Rose, you didn't fall, I hope!

1:21 am

grannyrose

i now have a pair of long-handled secateurs. which means i can reach bits out of reach when i am sitting.

1:21 am

grannyrose

*giggle* no kam...came close though.

1:21 am

Kamanjah

Oh, I would LOVE 4 foot tall beds! Right now we have 8 raised beds - we have awful clay soil, so had to put them in. I now wish I had made them much higher than I did 15 years ago!

1:22 am

VolleymomDee

Foresight 15 years ago! Wouldn't that have been great!

1:23 am

Kamanjah

Yes, it would have been!

1:26 am

Kamanjah

But they'll all need to be repaired or rebuilt in the next few years...one at a time they'll get taller! Maybe I'll try one of those beach chairs - as long as hubby is out to help me get out of it! I still don't like sitting on the ground, but I think I must get myself used to the idea. I know I could get more done...you gals make me think of better ways! Thanks!

1:28 am

grannyrose

yay kam. you rock!! keep thinking laterally, and keep us in the picture.

1:28 am

Kamanjah

Thanks, and I shall!

1:29 am

Kamanjah

And I learned the French word for long handled pruners from Rose tonight - love new words :)

1:30 am

VolleymomDee

I found an amazing chair for my porch - great support for my back; here is the link: http://www.sears.com/la-z-boy-alex-pad\nded-folding-chair/p-07118523000P

1:32 am

grannyrose

*giggle* kam

1:32 am

VolleymomDee

We loved it so much we ordered a second one after the first arrived.

1:32 am

Kamanjah

That looks comfy! I have a nice one that I use my back rest that I use in the car with, it works out well, as long as I remember to put the back rest back in the car!

1:33 am

VolleymomDee

It might make a good gardening seat for you.

1:35 am

Kamanjah

I just have to get used to sitting on the ground. It's so wet now though, not sitting on it! I'll get the kneeler thing out again and make a pad if I can find one at a decent price. It has always worked, but now that hubby has retired and is loving gardening, I'm kind of letting him have at it <wink wink>

1:36 am

VolleymomDee

Good idea!

1:37 am

Kamanjah

*can't find*

1:38 am

Kamanjah

He's proud of "his" garden, and he really is good at gardening, but that leaves me with more housework instead of gardening being an excuse to be outdoors!

1:39 am

VolleymomDee

That gets tricky.

1:40 am

VolleymomDee

Well, I need to get going. Have a great eve / day all! *poofing with hugs*

1:40 am

Kamanjah

Sleep well tonight, Dee! Good chatting again :)

1:40 am

VolleymomDee

Thx, Kam, you, too!!

1:42 am

Kamanjah

Thx D

2:01 am

grannyrose

2:01 am

Lizlin

Hugs, Rose.

2:01 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} and lashings of kisses lizgirl

2:02 am

Lizlin

How are you today - counting the hours til Monday?

2:02 am

Kamanjah

still here
Hi Liz

2:02 am

grannyrose

yup...37 hours....

2:02 am

Lizlin

Hi Kam

2:03 am

Lizlin

You'll feel so good after!

2:03 am

grannyrose

kam...do you need any help?

2:04 am

grannyrose

liz...i can't wait. shoulders, lower back are being sooooo

2:04 am

Lizlin

Are the shoulders and back a new thing?

2:05 am

Kamanjah

I'm working on it! I'm a bit slower than the folks who hit the flip and finish right away - I'm having a bit of trouble with this grid - but monkeying along

2:05 am

grannyrose

no liz.

2:06 am

Lizlin

Such admiration for those, like you Rose and Sprite and all the others too, who finish so quickly.

2:06 am

grannyrose

*basks in liz's admiration*

2:07 am

Lizlin

So you should :)

2:07 am

Kamanjah

Plus the cats are needing extra attention tonight...

2:07 am

grannyrose

*giggle* and my garden should benefit from our attention today.

2:07 am

Lizlin

I rarely complete a grid in one session - usually 2 or 3! This is my 2nd attempt today.

2:08 am

Lizlin

Too hot to think about the garden this week. The grass at the front is getting towards knee height!

2:08 am

grannyrose

that's right...himself also ventured into the garden, and armed with secaqteurs attacked several plants.

2:09 am

Kamanjah

Too cold and wet here to think about the garden today!

2:10 am

grannyrose

and a pickaxe....which successfully uprooted a decorative grape vine which tries to strangle our roses every year

2:10 am

Kamanjah

I'm getting impatient for my cherries and pluots to put out some blossoms - other trees are starting to flower, but mine, not yet...soon!

2:10 am

Lizlin

Sounds like he had a successful day.

2:11 am

grannyrose

he did liz.

2:11 am

Lizlin

I love the blossom in Spring - that's the best season here, I reckon.

2:12 am

grannyrose

agree lizgirl. and not to mention the spring flowering of the roses

2:12 am

Lizlin

Now Rose. That's cruel. You know I miss roses and Rose too.

2:12 am

grannyrose

*giggle* lizgirl

2:13 am

Kamanjah

My neighbor likes to plant blackberries - the birds ate the berries and deposited the seeds in my asparagus bed, which basically ruined it. Your seasons are opposite of mine and I'm anxiously awaiting spring!

2:13 am

Lizlin

I'm looking forward to autumn - then whale watching in winter.

2:14 am

Kamanjah

But my roses should start soon too. They're not pruned because we have many deer. If I pruned them properly, they'd die from the deer eating all of the new growth.

2:14 am

maccafixx

wa 6/30?

2:14 am

maccafixx

nm

2:14 am

grannyrose

lizgirl...once the lawyers etc have had their way...watch out for me on your front door step.

2:15 am

Lizlin

You know I'm looking forward to that.

2:16 am

grannyrose

i don't care what season/time it is for either of us...i will be there.

2:17 am

Lizlin

True. Any time is good but we'd love to take you out whale watching.

2:18 am

Lizlin

This grid is yucky! Where are all the words?

2:19 am

grannyrose

honey...as much as i would love to have a personal experience with whales...i appreciate a close encounter with you two more.

2:20 am

Lizlin

You'll get that whenever you get here.

2:20 am

grannyrose

*grin*

2:21 am

Lizlin

If no one minds, could I have a tiny hint for an 8, pls?

2:22 am

Lizlin

That's not an8 but any 8 - haven't listed so don't know the stats.

2:22 am

Kamanjah

en 8/ 80

2:22 am

dizgrannie

en 8, compound.

2:23 am

Lizlin

Wow! That should be a bit hint with those stats. Thanks. Looking.

2:23 am

Lizlin

Thanks :)

2:23 am

Kamanjah

was that too much hint?

2:23 am

Lizlin

Diz - telling me it was a compound really helped there.

2:23 am

Lizlin

Both helped.

2:24 am

grannyrose

9:18 am

hego

so much for that cocktail hour.

9:18 am

rururocks

9:35 am

dan2bit

9:36 am

rururocks

I just have a six

9:37 am

dan2bit

I have 2 x pi 6/21, but missing both pi6/27 + pi7/40

9:39 am

rururocks

9:39 am

rururocks

9:39 am

dan2bit

9:40 am

dan2bit

hehehe

9:40 am

rururocks

if anyone didn't find Pine.. I suggest going to try other games

9:40 am

dan2bit

good point :-)

9:41 am

hego

No respect for cluing rules anymore anyway.

9:41 am

rururocks

maybe words with dumbshits

9:41 am

hego

bad bad....

9:41 am

dan2bit

the other one is sewing tool + hither and ***

9:41 am

dan2bit

and plural

9:41 am

rururocks

I'm feisty today hego

9:42 am

hego

that's a tree also

9:42 am

hego

I see that Ru.

9:43 am

origami

isn't feisty your natural state ru? :D

9:43 am

MollyL

There are cluing rules? Could have fooled me.

9:43 am

rururocks

hmmm good point ori

9:43 am

hego

More or less.

9:43 am

rururocks

I think I'm going to have to list soon

9:44 am

MollyL

If there are cluing rules, I think a lot of people missed that memo

9:44 am

dan2bit

firewords! en8 compound word was my last. tx lickety and ruru and all cluers

9:44 am

rururocks

good for you dan

9:44 am

hego

congrats Dan.

9:45 am

origami

good deal dan

9:45 am

hego

There used to be cluing rules, but they're long gone.

9:45 am

rururocks

well.. there's a reason for that hego

9:46 am

hego

Is there?

9:46 am

rururocks

yep

9:46 am

hego

Hmmm....

9:46 am

MollyL

Yes indeed, Ru.

9:47 am

dan2bit

there are probably a few left

9:47 am

hego

well I have no clue (pun intended).

9:47 am

dan2bit

don't post your whole word list in chat

9:48 am

dan2bit

maybe customs is more apt than rules

9:48 am

hego

:)

9:49 am

MollyL

Suggestions...requests...hopes

9:49 am

rururocks

I think a lot of the "rules" around here were meant to be broken .. so...

9:49 am

rururocks

It would be much better if I set all the "rules" and everyone abided with them
:D

9:50 am

hego

Oh, my!

9:50 am

TheByzantine

hardly

9:50 am

hego

Now there's a scenario.

9:50 am

rururocks

well. I'd expect that from you BR

9:51 am

TheByzantine

i expected you to say that

9:51 am

hego

i don't know what to expect.

9:52 am

rururocks

I think fours shouldn't be clued period

9:52 am

MLFAN17

ruru?

9:52 am

hego

agree

9:52 am

rururocks

yes mlf

9:52 am

TheByzantine

hahahah

9:52 am

MLFAN17

did you say you found the pi7?

9:53 am

hego

:)

9:53 am

rururocks

yes.. I did

9:53 am

hego

dan clued it Fan

9:53 am

rururocks

i clued it as a pine tree

9:54 am

MLFAN17

ah ty I got the pi 6/27 pi 7/40

9:54 am

MLFAN17

ty dan

9:56 am

MollyL

I agree about cluing 4 letter words. I know several people have asked very nicely for people to stop blurting out clues when the word has not been asked for. That hasn't gone away.

9:57 am

TheByzantine

the new world order

9:58 am

MLFAN17

words should not be put in chat other then by accident

9:59 am

MollyL

It's not a new world order. It's just people asking to be able to find words on their own. People can do whatever they want. And they do.

9:59 am

hego

another rule gone

9:59 am

TheByzantine

there are two who do some ordering

10:00 am

rururocks

there's an old saying.. . once an asshole.. always an asshole

10:01 am

TheByzantine

and you epitomize that saying'

10:01 am

MLFAN17

ruru you just describe my husband

10:01 am

hego

uh oh!

10:02 am

MLFAN17

in7?

10:02 am

MLFAN17

hego he doesn't deny it

10:02 am

hego

no in7 Fan

10:03 am

MLFAN17

oh sorry I meant in8 my fault

10:04 am

MollyL

Well Ru, at least you don't hide behind fake identities.
: D

10:05 am

TheByzantine

hahahha

10:05 am

TheByzantine

that the best you can do

10:05 am

rururocks

I think someone got up on the wrong side of the hospital bed

10:07 am

TheByzantine

you guys can have your fun .... I just laugh at you .... have a great day.

10:09 am

origami

11:03 am

rubyfoo

I have a potager and hope that this year, I'll be able to do some work in it

11:03 am

MLFAN17

mixi do ou think it depends on what part of nc though. the weather where i am is just typical

11:04 am

rubyfoo

usually I just buy a few flats of tomatoes and hope for the best

11:05 am

rubyfoo

and if I have the energy, I'll make currant jelly and maybe even blackberry this year

11:05 am

11:05 am

I am going to make some kumquat marmalade this weekend

11:05 am

NC is very hot in the summer

11:05 am

rubyfoo

I love peas from the garden, but after growing them for a couple of years I developed a horrible contact allergy

11:06 am

mixi6

I think of february as daffodils, march as flowering trees, azaleas in april, and then the crepe myrtle in the summer.

11:06 am

rubyfoo

hello bichon

11:06 am

MLFAN17

yes it is bichon we have had over 100 degrees a few times

bichon

We don't have crepe myrtle, but I've seen them in VA

11:07 am

rubyfoo

11:08 am

rubyfoo

11:08 am

origami

most street trees and fruit trees are in bloom here now

11:08 am

rubyfoo

11:10 am

rubyfoo

in may, lilies, peonies, roses, allium

11:10 am

mixi6

I have some dogwood, and lots of wisteria in the trees. I hate things in vines. have to put it out of the chimney every year or so.

11:14 am

MLFAN17

11:14 am

mixi6

MLFAN17

<----you do now

11:16 am

mixi6

origami

I have 4 apple trees, a dwarf peach, dwarf nectarine, a plum tree, a dwarf clementine and a dwarf kumquat

11:17 am

origami

they all thrive on neglect

11:18 am

rubyfoo

when I planted the garden which was bare, I put in a sanguine peach, one pear, two plums, one apple and one quince.

11:19 am

rubyfoo

The peqr and peqch died quickly.

11:19 am

rubyfoo

The quince is sick but still gets lovely flowers every year

11:19 am

origami

I haven't had any luck with pear trees. They all get fire blight and die on me

11:20 am

rubyfoo

and a magnificent reen fig which has fruit twice some years and other years, nada

11:20 am

MLFAN17

wow origami your yard must be busy

11:20 am

rubyfoo

i want crepe myrtle and fruit trees in our yard

11:23 am

origami

I love bark on the crepe myrtles and the salvia blooms11 months of the year

11:23 am

rururocks

Crepe myrtles are a lot of work

11:23 am

origami

They do sucker a lot ru ... always pruning the suckers

11:23 am

MLFAN17

we do have some white flowering bushes but no idea what they are. two of the at least that grew together that have a wonderful scent. we also have a Leather Leaf Mahonia

11:24 am

rururocks

I'm going with drought resistant stuff for my front yard

11:24 am

rururocks

and fruit trees in the back

11:24 am

MLFAN17

as long as you can keep them under control i would assume they would be fine?

11:25 am

rururocks

you need a gardener to manage the crepe myrtles to shape them mlf.. otherwise they get out of hand

11:25 am

rururocks

that's just a suggestion however

11:26 am

origami

I bought single trunk ones that were already about 5' tall. Other than prune the suckers I don't do anything to them. But, Sacramento is ideal weather for them.

12:29 pm

MLFAN17

i will be back

12:33 pm

Apparently I can't keep up with the chat, or MLF's constantly changing icons. *Goes to the dim corner*
