so i had a real weird day today

12:06 am

hurshy

(by which i mean friday)

12:06 am

hi everyone - en 7 x2

hi Nan

i was meant to take this test today that i need to proceed in my new career path, and i'm at the testing center and have written 3 essays and most of a 4th, and the power goes out. and they say we can leave/reschedule, or wait and see if it comes back; the server will have saved our work.

12:08 am

hurshy

hour later, power comes back, but then we find out, actually, after half an hour, some central authority decided that this testing center was now closed for the day, and we HAVE to reschedule and start over with a new version of whichever test we were taking.

12:08 am

12:08 am

hursh nooooo

12:09 am

hurshy

which was pretty annoying as i had done good work and now i pretty much have to waste a whole other day that i really can't afford to waste in doing this again

12:09 am

sandyloo

that is the pits hurshy but no doubt you will do even more fabulously on your second go!

12:11 am

hurshy

and then, the other weird thing was, this evening i learned that one of my uncles was carjacked on wednesday, by a murderer who had killed 2 people on saturday and was trying to avoid the police, but he didn't just take the car, he made my uncle go with him, tied him up. after 3 hours of driving my uncle escaped when the guy had tied him a bit looser and then gone into a liquor store to buy more beer, leaving him in the car. he was all over the local news. they caught the guy today, several states away.

12:11 am

Uneaixoise

good lord!!!!

12:12 am

hurshy

now, i do have a larger than average number of uncles, but still.

12:14 am

hurshy

but i hope the dude accepts a plea deal quickly, otherwise i suppose my uncle will have to do lots of testifying and stuff, since the guy confessed the murders to him and his motive and everything.

12:15 am

sandyloo

omg what a story

12:15 am

hurshy

or is that hearsay? are you not allowed to testify that a criminal confessed a crime to you, if you didn't see the crime?

12:16 am

sandyloo

that sounds like hearsay but not really sure

12:16 am

helensgirlkid

You can surely testify to what he said - but not that he was telling the truth!

12:17 am

licketySplitAUS

Clues are up

12:17 am

hurshy

well i mean, he was already a suspect in the crime, the police were looking for him and had caught the second suspect already.

12:18 am

Uneaixoise

125 - long day - gnite all :-)

12:18 am

hurshy

so it's not like, "WHAT? HE did it?"

12:18 am

sandyloo

thanks lickety

12:18 am

hurshy

and i presume there will be physical evidence

12:18 am

flosey

Thanks Lickety

12:19 am

sandyloo

must be some evidence and anyway they have got him on kidnapping if nothing else

12:19 am

hurshy

yes, he can definitely testify what happened to him, but that is my point, i don't WANT him to have to be dragged through long, drawn-out court stuff. he's already taking care of my aunt full time, she has ALS.

12:21 am

sandyloo

Poot uncle but I think he will have to spend sometime in court. I was on a jury once and the poor witnesses really suffered, I felt sorry for them

12:21 am

sandyloo

Poor!

12:26 am

ty for the co clues

5:45 am

MollyL

Ruby, Ruby, scooby-dooby, how does your garden grow?

5:46 am

rubyfoo

An inch a day, A pinch away, from colors bright and gay!

5:47 am

rubyfoo

Hello Molly

5:47 am

MollyL

Ah Spring verse. What a breath of fresh air.

5:51 am

rubyfoo

The new flowers will be a mystery as I don't remember what was put where; I basically handed the bulbs to the handyman and pointed

5:52 am

rubyfoo

At least I know the colors are in "my" range

5:59 am

MollyL

Oh but that is fun. You will be surprised every time one blooms.

6:00 am

MollyL

Ruby's Mystery Garden...it sounds like a children's book.
: D

6:00 am

rubyfoo

There'll be new tulips, lilies, allium

6:01 am

rubyfoo

That's funny. I've made 2 attempts at writing children's books but without success.

6:02 am

rubyfoo

I'm short the singleton o for nbt. Any ideas?

6:03 am

MollyL

I like the idea of a mystery garden. If I can ever afford land of my own, I will plant one.

6:04 am

rubyfoo

This is my first garden and it's been wonderful watching it's evolution these 18 years.

6:04 am

MollyL

Not sure about the o...or4?

6:04 am

MollyL

Not what you mine, but the other one.

6:04 am

rubyfoo

Lots of mistakes, though, in tthe original plantings and in "handyman or husband mishaps".

6:05 am

MollyL

Oh my, I remember some of the handyman or husband mishaps. Chop chop.

6:06 am

rubyfoo

I had beautiful blue thistles, 5 had become around 20, and the handyman thought they were weeds and removed them

6:06 am

rubyfoo

And I "weeded" Japanese iris, not recognizing their leaves

6:10 am

rubyfoo

A friend gave me lavender and blackish iris, divided fromhers, several years ago, but the black ones never flowered, just leafed up

6:10 am

MollyL

That is too bad. Japanese iris are beautiful.

6:11 am

rubyfoo

I love them; sometimes they have them in the supermarket

6:12 am

rubyfoo

There's an iris garden in Paris, adjacent to tthe Jardin de Plantes, that I've only seen once, but it had every possible color of iris in clusters in a relatively small space. I've never seen anythign like it!

6:14 am

MollyL

That sounds very pretty.

6:15 am

rubyfoo

It was magic!

6:16 am

mattygroves

Howdy all. Does anyone have stats for the lone O in the fourth column, third row?

6:16 am

rubyfoo

I think it was in June, many years ago

6:16 am

MollyL

I think it is or4 not what you mine

6:16 am

rubyfoo

Hi Matty, that's what I'm missing, too

6:19 am

6:28 am

ugh :( I hope you had a wonderful time though

6:28 am

mattygroves

Hiya Rose!

6:28 am

grannyrose

friend of don's was celebrating his birthday. lovely time, loads of peeps we know were there too.

6:28 am

sprite

ah, great! Glad you enjoyed yourself.

6:29 am

sprite

I had a splendid day of family constellations again yesterday. Beautiful processes.

6:29 am

grannyrose

tummy very full, i think i'll skip brekky in the morning as the vicar is putting on crepes after the service.

6:30 am

mattygroves

If I were the vicar, I'd put on clothes. Preaching wearing pancakes might excite comment

6:30 am

grannyrose

so glad sprite. you are always so on top of things after family constellations.

6:30 am

grannyrose

hahahaha matty.

6:30 am

sprite

inspiring and invigorating, FM days :)
Hm, never skip brekkie, hun. At least eat a dry cracker.

6:31 am

sprite

I think the vicar hopes Don will eat the crepes from her ummmm.... back?

6:32 am

grannyrose

i have had my meds and don is looking at me...glass of milk will have to do it sprite. *giggle* oh dear my mind pics are terrible...

6:33 am

grannyrose

hugs and kisses to you both. ttfn.

6:33 am

sprite

yeah they are. I hate picturing a back full of crepes with a glass of milk over it. What a waste of a good ba.... ummmm of good crepes

6:33 am

sprite

night night sweetie. Be good. Not too good though ;)

6:43 am

mattygroves

78 left. I feel a list coming on...

6:44 am

sprite

lol :)

6:44 am

mattygroves

I've hit a wall...

6:44 am

sprite

I know that feeling

6:53 am

sprite

I bet half the grid is CO

6:55 am

mattygroves

There are quite a few

6:57 am

MollyL

The 43 c's in the middle are all co

6:57 am

sprite

so half is CO, a quarter is EN and K and RE, and the rest are words.

6:57 am

MollyL

Oh that is not right, but there are 43 co words

7:01 am

sprite

they so need to invent a sarcasm font

7:03 am

sprite

of course that wouldn't help me in babble, since we cannot pick our own fonts :(

7:05 am

MollyL

And using ((sarcasm)) somehow deflates the comment
: D

7:05 am

sprite

*grins* True, dat

7:11 am

sprite

back later, hagd all!

7:11 am

mattygroves

Seesya!

rubyfoo

It is beutiful outside, warmer than in the house.

7:42 am

Trifioso

good morning ruby. unseasonably warm here as well

7:42 am

Trifioso

hoping the last of the snow will melt

7:42 am

rubyfoo

I thouse (just leaves,so far) fur stopped at 80!ried to count the flowers coming up in front of the

7:44 am

Trifioso

I am not sure if things are coming up here or not - haven't really done the outside round yet today.

7:44 am

rubyfoo

My laptop garbled what I wrote! I tried to count the flowers coming up next to the steps to the sttreet, but lost count at 90! They'rre just leaves still

7:44 am

Trifioso

I'm taking care of my mum while car.eeyore and her family are on a short mini break

7:44 am

MollyL

I have some tulips coming up and my boss showed me a picture of cherry blossoms blooming in her neighborhood. Hooray for early Spring!

7:45 am

rubyfoo

This is my favorite time of year

7:45 am

MollyL

Well deserved break for Car. Caring for elderly parents is not an easy job.

7:45 am

Trifioso

always a bit of a shock when the snow melts and the dog poop museum is revealed

7:46 am

Trifioso

not even remotely, molly

7:46 am

rubyfoo

hahah

7:47 am

rubyfoo

My dogs are very discreet; they poop only in the bushes and never when I can see them

7:47 am

rubyfoo

"Mystery poopers"

7:47 am

Trifioso

mine...isn't.

7:49 am

MollyL

I have to laugh when I see people walking their dogs with bags full of dog poop. I remember when dogs could go where they wanted to and people just stepped around it.

7:49 am

Trifioso

but we have more people now, and thus more dogs, and thus more poop. I have no issue with people being considerate of others.

7:50 am

MollyL

Oh I don't have an issue with it. It just looks funny to see people carrying bags of dog poop.

7:50 am

rubyfoo

Mine never poop in the street. The male just marks

7:50 am

Trifioso

lol ruby - as does mine. every. five. feet.

7:51 am

Trifioso

oh my goodness - just heard on tv that the Grey Gardens house is for sale!

7:51 am

rubyfoo

What breed is your dog, Trif?

7:52 am

Trifioso

half german shepherd, half lab

7:52 am

Trifioso

all foolishness....but a great big giant heart full of joy

7:53 am

rubyfoo

Smart and affectionate, I imagine

7:53 am

Trifioso

affectionate, all day. Dumb as a box of rocks. but oh, the love!!!!

7:54 am

rubyfoo

My firl is like a huge cat in a fur coat, very independent, affectionate when she decides.

7:54 am

Trifioso

lololol huge cat in a fur coat.....

7:54 am

Trifioso

awesome image

7:54 am

rubyfoo

The boy is my protecttor, guards me and the house, is very wary of men

7:55 am

Trifioso

indy couldn't guard a thing! would lick them to pieces, that's about it

7:56 am

bichon

Morning, nice to wake up and read about dog poop

7:56 am

Trifioso

sorry bichon....

7:56 am

rubyfoo

When Rufe isn't happy his fur stands up and he looks really scary. I don't know if he'd ever bite anybody

7:56 am

Trifioso

we aren't keeping it classy....

7:57 am

rubyfoo

As long as it's not in the house, Bichon

7:57 am

Trifioso

the family that bought Grey Gardens paid $220,000 in 1976. It is on sale for just under $20 million. Not a bad appreciation rate!

7:57 am

rubyfoo

and Hello

7:58 am

MollyL

This place is at it's funniest when it reverts to the "not so classy"
: D

7:58 am

Trifioso

agreed, molly. god help us all on days when a certain 4 letter word is in the grid...someone ALWAYS puts it in the chog by accident.

7:58 am

rubyfoo

My classy dogs make classy poop

7:59 am

Trifioso

my non classy dog cranks it out like a playdoh fun factory on steroids

7:59 am

bichon

Mine makes smelly

7:59 am

rubyfoo

I've missed that, Trif

7:59 am

rubyfoo

How big is he?

7:59 am

Trifioso

Clifford. he is Clifford.

8:00 am

Mubner

my dog likes to back up to a wall or tree, one time at the dog park he hung a big one on the sign that says "pick up after your pets"

8:00 am

Trifioso

he was the most impossibly tiny puppy you have ever seen. barely four pounds when we got him. his mother died when he was five weeks old, so he was an emergency placement with us. and then....he grew. and didn't stop.

8:01 am

Trifioso

mubner, that is too funny! I SWEAR some of them can read

8:01 am

rubyfoo

That is very funny, what kind of dog?

8:02 am

MollyL

<---Can't wait to see what "dog habit" is next up for discussion
: P

8:02 am

Mubner

Then there was the time he backed up to a coffee can (that was used for ashtray), another time he backed up to a gallon water jug - somehow he got it centered over the hole, I was pretty embarrassed cleaning that one up.

8:03 am

Trifioso

that's a talented dog!

8:03 am

bichon

I had one who ate his own poop

8:03 am

rubyfoo

He sounds like a comedian

8:04 am

Mubner

Rufus is a mixed terrier, one brown and one blue eye

8:04 am

MollyL

Ding! Ding! We have a winner!

8:04 am

rubyfoo

My second chow was named Rufus

8:04 am

MLFAN17

hello all

8:04 am

welki

'morning folks - what a convo!

8:04 am

bichon

the poop eating dog was Cupcake

8:04 am

welki

i had a basset hound named rufus

8:05 am

MLFAN17

morning welki

8:05 am

Trifioso

my dog is also talented in eating every single thing in the house. Clickers, books, batteries, anything - it doesn't matter. he will eat it.

8:05 am

welki

self sustaining dog, bichon - never have to buy dog food!

8:05 am

Mubner

Bich, I had one of those too...she loved it when we took her to be boarded and saw the poop "yard", she didn't even bother to say goodby or look anxious

8:05 am

MLFAN17

mub was it a cairn poo?

8:06 am

rubyfoo

<-- loves "dog chat"

8:06 am

welki

we're down to only one dog, a golden retriever

8:06 am

Mubner

No, the famous poop eater was a Pug

8:07 am

rubyfoo

I guess Rufus and Max are common dog names

8:07 am

MLFAN17

4th column lone o?

8:07 am

bichon

Poor Cupcake lived in his crate as a small puppy. When we got him we had to "unlearn" him of these bad habits. He never was totally "all right"

8:07 am

Trifioso

theory - in a life, each of us may own several dogs. I think though maybe one is ....the one. the dog you never forget. I know the dog love of my life was my St. Croix dog, Diggity. I miss him every single day. Always will.

8:07 am

Trifioso

or4 mlf

8:07 am

Trifioso

begins as a it ends

8:08 am

welki

i miss them all (but i get what you're saying)

8:08 am

Mubner

Rufus was brought to Phoenix from Chile, his owner had to put him into rescue when she had a baby - Rufus was so bonded and overprotective to his owner, I'm sure it broke her heart

8:08 am

MLFAN17

thanks trif

8:08 am

MLFAN17

5th column e?

8:08 am

Trifioso

no problem at all

8:08 am

rubyfoo

I've thought that, too, Trif, but the feeling gets renewed. I've had 7 chows over the yearse and 3 have been my "all-time favorites" but I never forget any of them

8:08 am

Trifioso

eg4 - trump has a huge one

8:09 am

MLFAN17

MLFAN17

Trifioso

8:16 am

rubyfoo

But nobody can call us fake!

8:16 am

Trifioso

well, there is some comfort in that, ruby

8:16 am

MLFAN17

8:17 am

Mubner

Wow, Lord Dampnut...I must remember that one.

That doesn't end in a double consonant, it ends in a double vowel, hence the confusion

hurshy

10:38 am

origami

10:39 am

rururocks

those are the only types of eggs I buy hursh

10:39 am

aslindy

I am here, but lurking as usual. eggs and sausages sounds great!

10:39 am

hurshy

straight from a small farm?

10:39 am

rururocks

what if the sausages came from vegetarian chickens :D

10:40 am

rururocks

small local farm.. chickens run free there

10:40 am

hurshy

actually, even before i went veg, i never LIKED sausage, so, that one would always have been a no.

10:40 am

hurshy

cool thanks can i get some toast with those eggs then? :)

10:40 am

rururocks

oh.. I like chicken apple sausages

10:41 am

aslindy

I once made the mistake of reading the ingredients in sausage. I couldn't eat it for a long time after that.

10:41 am

Deeha

just arrived! Sausages were the first meat things I gave up!

10:41 am

rururocks

even the roosters are a bit loose and shy at this farm.. and they're sorta hen-pecked

10:41 am

hurshy

i never liked bacon either... go figure

10:42 am

rururocks

yeah, I like bacon but rarely eat it

10:42 am

rururocks

I won't eat hot dogs however

10:42 am

aslindy

I love bacon, but don't have it often

10:43 am

hurshy

ham i liked. pork, like in chop or loin, not until i discovered that it did not HAVE to be dry as a desert like my mom cooked it...

10:43 am

rururocks

my mom way overcooked pork too.. I never liked it until I started going out to restaurants

10:44 am

hurshy

did our moms just do that cause they were terrified of bacteria, or what?

10:44 am

Deeha

I am the same with salmon. Hated it till I discovered it didn't have to be cooked till it was like shredded wheat!!

10:44 am

hurshy

i mean, my mom is not a good cook at all, of anything, so, there's that too

10:44 am

rururocks

triconosis (sp.? ) I think

10:45 am

rururocks

my mom was a terrible cook

10:45 am

rururocks

thank god my grandma taught me how to cook

10:45 am

rururocks

the end of this grid is very frustrating

10:46 am

hurshy

finally, i find someone else whose mom was a terrible cook! so few people understand that experience

10:46 am

rururocks

all our vegetables were an overcooked mess

10:47 am

hurshy

all our food was unseasoned

10:47 am

Deeha

My mum died when I was a little. Luckily my dad was a great instinctive 'chuck-it-in' cook that taught me a lot

10:47 am

rururocks

oh.. ours was too salty

10:48 am

origami

My mom was a good cook - nothing exciting, but good

10:48 am

hurshy

it'd be like, plain broiled chicken, baked potato, veg.

10:48 am

rururocks

my grandmother taught me how to cook when I was 5 and six believe it or not.. simple stuff to start

10:48 am

hurshy

oh i believe it, i love watching Masterchef Jr!

10:49 am

rururocks

No matter who you learn to cook from, cooking food is a wonderful thing. To me, there is nothing better than a home with the smell of something good cooking in it.

10:51 am

name that proper noun! the Lost lady that the Raven narrator was dreaming of

10:51 am

MollyL

Lenore

10:51 am

10:52 am

MollyL

I am totally grossed out by the people I work with who eat microwave food for lunch every single day.

10:52 am

rururocks

well molly.. that's high up on my list too .. but there are other things better than that to me :D

10:53 am

MollyL

Ah yes, but you still believe in things I gave up on a while ago. No matter, and good for you.

10:53 am

rururocks

I gave the microwave that came with the house to my pet-sitters free

10:53 am

hurshy

personally i'm a fan of a cozy house with a crackling fire in the fireplace with a heavy snowfall preventing you from going anywhere

10:53 am

MollyL

Frozen microwave meals cooking smell like dirty socks.

10:54 am

hurshy

but there could be food cooking in the cozy house TOO

10:54 am

MollyL

Personally, I could do without a heavy snowfall and live the rest of my life a happy person.

10:54 am

MLFAN17

Hurshy me too

10:55 am

hurshy

that's probably cause you want to go places then, molly

10:55 am

MLFAN17

our next door neighbor couldn't live without a microwave being as it is that he has 4 or 5 kids(dult children) himelf and a wife

10:56 am

No, not really. I just hate cold weather and ice and snow.

10:56 am

MLFAN17

Hurshy do you have a real fireplace?

10:56 am

hurshy

phantom: rococo

10:57 am

MollyL

If you have a big family it is better to cook a pot of REAL food than microwave frozen stuff.

10:57 am

hurshy

yes, and no. i still own a place that has one, but currently reside in a place that does not.

10:57 am

MLFAN17

depends on how busy you might be and the ages of the children etc

10:58 am

MollyL

I am always busy but not too busy to make a decent meal. It's all about priorities.

10:58 am

MLFAN17

hurshy don't have a fireplace where i am either and i miss having one. i want a real fireplace not electric or gas..and one that you can actually use lol

People don't cook food anymore, they microwave frozen things. People don't brew coffee anymore. They go to Starbucks or make that awful pod stuff. People don't spell anymore, they abbreviate.

MLFAN17

bichon what is assam tea?

11:26 am

broll

yes, add some letters to bichon's recent mispost

11:26 am

MollyL

No, it is actually not stronger coffee because of the way it is brewed. A short blast of water through less than half a tablespoon of coffee. Weak.

11:28 am

MLFAN17

my husband explained to me how it works which is why it is stronger however the store bought versions don't seem to be as such compared to the more expensive

Good afternoon, Babblers!

Hi Judi

11:35 am

MollyL

How are you feeling Judi, any improvement?

11:36 am

Judi

Seen on a T-shirt this morning: Front: "America Was Never Great"; Back: "Unapolgeticaly Black Gun Club".

11:37 am

Judi

I felt like saying, "Thanks for being part of the problem, jackass". I restrained myself.

11:37 am

bichon

co 7/36, last one, pls

11:39 am

MollyL

Why do people feel the need to state their preferences on t-shirts, license plates or (ick) Facebook?

11:39 am

hurshy

(does that include a preference for all things Doctor Who?)

11:39 am

Judi

Of course, if I confronted this t-shirt wearing person to say his t-shirt offended me, I would probably be the one labled "racist".

11:40 am

rururocks

(puts out sedatives for Judi for after babble)

11:41 am

Judi

No sedatives required.

11:45 am

MollyL

No Judi, we all got labeled "racist" when we didn't think Obama was the right President. Because that couldn't have been because we thought he was an ineffective boob.

11:46 am

Judi

Pffth. I always say, if you think America is so bad, just leave.

11:46 am

Judi

Go to the country you most admire.

11:47 am

Judi

Fair warning: You probably won't be able to wear a t-shirt like that.

11:47 am

rururocks

(that's starting to sound racist now :D )

11:47 am

MollyL

I keep waiting for all those people who say they will leave if _____ to leave. So far, they are still here and still bitching.

11:51 am

Judi

I don

11:53 am

Judi

I don't care what color the guy was who was wearing the shirt. And only the front of it offended me. Wonder what would happen if I wore a t-shirt like that, only the front said, "Africa Was Never Great", or "The Black Panthers Were Never Great". I'd be chased down the street and beaten to a pulp.

11:54 am

rururocks

or worse Judi.. you might be forced to listen to Rap music

11:55 am

rururocks

<--- now sounding racist too

11:55 am

origami

<--- admits to being extremely racist towards orange people

11:56 am

Judi

Yeah, rap music with lyrics like, "F the police". But, we live in a country where it seems only white people can be called racist. Everyone else gets a free pass to offend.

11:58 am

rururocks

I get offended by rap music in general.. it's so hateful and misogynistic

11:58 am

rubyfoo

This might even be more interesting than dogs!

12:03 pm

rururocks

it's sort of hideous on him.. makes him look creepy

12:04 pm

MollyL

"Racist" is a word that gets thrown around for effect.

12:04 pm

He should be able to get a natural tan on the golf course. And I'm sure he gets make-up before every press appearance.

Judi

She's given a few speaches. She has a heavy accent.

12:10 pm

I am not pro-Trump. I was not pro-Hillary. I am pro-someone who can make an effective change in this country. So far, neither greedy party has offered that kind of person up for election.

12:10 pm

I wonder how many people know that her father was a member of the Communist party.
