12:04 am

Lizlin

Hi Flosey

12:05 am

flosey

Hi Liz, have you heard anything from Rose

12:06 am

Lizlin

No, but her hours would be similar to Sprite's. The last I heard was what Sprite told us yesterday.

12:07 am

flosey

ah, of course, hard to figure out the difference in time

12:08 am

Lizlin

I think it's about 7am in the Netherlands now.

12:08 am

Lizlin

I think that they're an hour ahead of the UK

12:09 am

flosey

I have difficulty keeping track of the time zones

12:10 am

Lizlin

I guess I always know the time in the UK because of Skyping with family and friends.

12:15 am

1:27 am

sprite

1:28 am

grannyrose

slept like babies. well rested. and you honey? yesterday wasn't too much?

1:29 am

sprite

yesterday was just brilliant. I slept very well too.

1:29 am

Lizlin

Goedemorgen my friends and hugs. Just here for a moment but happy to have caught you.

1:29 am

Lizlin

Sounds like you're having an amazing time.

1:29 am

sprite

*hugs Liz* Goedenavond to you :)

1:30 am

grannyrose

hi liz hugs and kisses to you both

1:30 am

Lizlin

OK - so I bet you didn't have to look up the translation!

1:30 am

sprite

we are. It is so wonderful having Rose and Don here. We are enjoying every minute.

1:30 am

Lizlin

And will continue to do so - what plans for today?

1:32 am

sprite

nothing yet, we will pick up Rose and Don when they are ready, and then we will plan. Some possibilities are the Rijksmuseum and a bit of Amsterdam, or Giethoorn.

1:32 am

grannyrose

having a ball. sprite and Rob have settled nicely into the rose and don clique...lol

1:32 am

Lizlin

What is Giethoorn? Rijksmuseum I know.

1:32 am

Lizlin

No surprises there, Rose.

1:32 am

sprite

we are laughing so much, Liz. Don has such dry wit, and rose's sense of humour you know...

1:33 am

sprite

Giethoorn is the little Venice of the Netherlands. Very pretty little village with lots of water.

1:33 am

Lizlin

Of course.

1:33 am

Lizlin

Sounds lovely.

1:33 am

grannyrose

poor Rob.... like don he doesn't know what i will say next... but the gentleman he is, he laughs anyway

1:34 am

Lizlin

Are you shocking him?

1:34 am

sprite

he is used to that from me, grin. He is never shocked.

1:34 am

grannyrose

ask sprite...

1:34 am

Lizlin

Answered! How's the jet lag, Rose?

1:34 am

grannyrose

darn, i am gonna have to try harder

1:35 am

sprite

:D

1:35 am

grannyrose

not too bad liz. the stayover in dubai did the trick.

1:35 am

Lizlin

Glad it worked for you. I told Sprite, when we stopped over in Singapore, it made it much worse for us.

1:35 am

sprite

today will probably be better, rose? Feeling more human than yesterday morning?

1:36 am

Lizlin

It took us much longer to get back into Aussie routine than it had done on previous occasions. Would we do the same thing again next year - given the opportunity, yes!

1:36 am

sprite

hehehe good to know!

1:36 am

grannyrose

absolutely. woke naturally, through no other disturbance than the usual yelling of nature

1:37 am

sprite

am so glad the B&B is all it promised to be

1:39 am

Lizlin

Have a wonderful day. Hugs to all of you. See you soon.

1:40 am

2:00 am

2:01 am

grannyrose

2:01 am

Trifioso

6:36 am

Trifioso

ana

6:36 am

Trifioso

nan - more coffee for meeeeee

6:38 am

cybernan

Hi Trif

6:39 am

Trifioso

im so sorry I garbled my hello so badly....

6:39 am

rubyfoo

Good morning Nan and Trif (actually early afternoon)

6:39 am

Trifioso

good morning ruby

6:40 am

Lizlin

Hi all

6:40 am

Trifioso

good morning lizlin

6:40 am

flosey

good mornning all, a rather disgusting hour to be awakened here!! since some time after 3:am

6:40 am

rubyfoo

Another gorgeous day -- cool in the morning, hot in the afternoon, rain at night

6:40 am

Trifioso

oh dear flosey - what has you up so early?

6:40 am

flosey

very nice ruby

6:41 am

rubyfoo

It makes up for the tough winter

6:41 am

Lizlin

Evening, Trif

6:41 am

Lizlin

Flosey - what woke you?

6:41 am

Lizlin

Sounds lovely weather ruby

6:41 am

rubyfoo

What awakened you so early; maybe you heard my Raffie bark....

6:42 am

flosey

hubby had been outdoors but no idea why, I just got up and came here

6:42 am

Trifioso

your gardens will be absolutely lovely ruby

6:42 am

Lizlin

The call of babble friends to you, Flosey!

6:42 am

flosey

ahhh, Liz, that must be it

6:43 am

flosey

hope there isn't a tree down nearby

6:43 am

rubyfoo

Therre are flowers everywhere, all in my limited palette; even the weeds cooperate (lots of Queen QAnne's lace filling in the holes

6:44 am

flosey

sounds lovely ruby

6:44 am

rubyfoo

Are there big storms, Flosey?

6:45 am

flosey

no storm Ruby, that I was aware of!! am sure I'd have heard it

6:46 am

Trifioso

that is my vision for my yard, ruby...someday!

6:46 am

flosey

we built into a hill, hillside is all huge cedars

6:47 am

cybernan

Hi flosey - thinking of going back to bed here

6:48 am

rubyfoo

When you're ready, Trif, I can help work out any palette, armed as I am with tons of garden books

6:48 am

flosey

good idea Nan, I'll probably do the same

6:48 am

Lizlin

It must be pretty early for you too, nan

6:48 am

Lizlin

I'll be the 3rd one heading to bed - though it is night time here but my sore throat has had enough of today!

6:49 am

cybernan

4: 48 am in BC

6:49 am

rubyfoo

Sincei it's my first garden, I worked on it for years before we arrived

6:49 am

Lizlin

9.48 pm here.

6:49 am

flosey

it's 10 to 5 am here, have been up since sometime after 3:

6:50 am

rubyfoo

It's amazing how often BC is in the news, always interesting, innovative stuff

6:50 am

flosey

so we are in the same time zone Nan

6:50 am

Trifioso

thank you ruby! how very kind

6:50 am

rubyfoo

Almost 2PM here, maybe a siesta?

6:50 am

cybernan

yes flosey, I live in Kelowna

6:51 am

Lizlin

25 words to finish tomorrow. Good night from here. Hope you get some more sleep Flosey and Nan and that all of you have a lovely day.

6:51 am

Trifioso

I have a short ton of them too - always grab them at yard sales and such....the pictures are so inspiring, though rarely realistic...."picture it without the castle honey...."

6:52 am

flosey

ah, lovely area, we lived in Kimberley for 3 years - that's where hubby started teaching,then back to Ontario for 30 years before retiring to west coast

6:55 am

flosey

aha, just found the ar8

6:56 am

rubyfoo

Even studying gardens, l made many mistakes --many perennials which flowers once or twice, then disappeared -- lupinsk hollyhocks, foxgloves, globe thistles, more -- and little cute evergeens because hulkibng monsters

6:58 am

Trifioso

I have a few things that - ahem - the previous occupant planted, and have run riot. Killing them seems to be more than I am able for

6:58 am

rubyfoo

sorry for typos

6:59 am

flosey

no problem ruby, easy enough to read through them

7:01 am

cybernan

Kimberly is on mountain time, I think. I do love living in this area, but right now our feet are getting wet! Rain yesterday and today, lots of flooding and the huge snow pack from last winter still has a long way to go before it is melted. Trump better not show his face around here with his no global warming claims!

7:02 am

rubyfoo

Turn him into an orange snow man with straw for his hair

7:04 am

cybernan

He won't be very popular in the states either - I think he has just given up the world leadership role. Clearly the US can no longer be counted on for support in global concerns or to work for the greater good -- it has become a "me first" country with a leader who has a "me first" mentality.

7:05 am

flosey

seldom have snow here on the coast, Kimberley did have long winters - well known as a ski area

7:06 am

rubyfoo

It's incredible hearing one respectedpolitician or pujndet calling him stupid (or worse)

7:06 am

flosey

isn't he frightening, Nan - still cannot understand how he was ever voted in

7:07 am

rubyfoo

Amazingly, he still has supporters, and he never stops lying

7:07 am

rubyfoo

pundit*

7:07 am

cybernan

he wouldn't recognize truth if it hit him in the face, ruby

7:08 am

rubyfoo

Last night John Perry wasexceedingly fierce in his denunciation

7:08 am

dan2bit

he was voted in because he promised rural folks that he could bring good jobs back to them and put things back the way they (never really) were

7:08 am

rubyfoo

And I wish it would, with a big splat!!

7:08 am

Deeha

I am ashamed of Theresa May not standing up to be counted against this decision

7:09 am

dan2bit

he preyed on people's fears like any good salesman would

7:09 am

rubyfoo

Imagine anybody believing that he could revitalize coal!!

7:09 am

cybernan

most of the world denounces him and his policies

7:09 am

dan2bit

most of the country he is president of does as well

7:10 am

ladycece920

Sir Richard Branson gave him what for this morning.

7:10 am

rubyfoo

I think he wasn't taken seriously until it was too late

7:10 am

rubyfoo

What did he say?

7:10 am

cybernan

Yes it is unfortunate the US citizens who travel outside the US will bear the brunt of the world's displeasure

7:10 am

dan2bit

the winner-take-all two party system that ultimately favors rural voters does us no favors

7:11 am

ladycece920

He said he no longer had any respect for him

7:11 am

dan2bit

removes any need for coalition or compromise

7:11 am

rubyfoo

I never thought it could happen, but he is even worse than Nixon; who was a cerook, but didn't do harm globally

7:13 am

bichon

I'm so sick to my stomach today and every day

7:14 am

rubyfoo

I think most of us are, Bichon. We keepthinking it's a bhad drem, but then we Wake up....

7:15 am

bichon

What scares me is that he will be reelected in 2020

7:16 am

dan2bit

why do you think so, bichon?

7:16 am

rubyfoo

I think that the interim election will help things

7:16 am

cybernan

OMG, bichon --- I hope he will be impeached long before that --- your country nor the world can stand his antics much longer

7:17 am

bichon

I am as sick as you are nan

7:17 am

Deeha

you know the joke about a president asking the carved heads -Mount Washington?- questions? Shouldn't say it but hopefully Trump likes the theatre

7:18 am

bichon

I think that's Mount Rushmore

7:18 am

rubyfoo

One problem is that Pence, in all his blandness, is in some ways scarier becuse he actually beLIEVES this stuff

7:18 am

Deeha

of course could't remember

7:19 am

bichon

np Deeha, all those mountains in the US

7:19 am

rubyfoo

He's an extreme right-wing ideologue -- hates women,gays, blacks, human rights in general

7:20 am

Deeha

I only know Pike's Peak!!!

7:20 am

bichon

Don't forget there are all those people in the US that bought his speil and still believe it.

7:20 am

cybernan

true, Ruby -- he does make Attila look left wing

7:21 am

rubyfoo

hahah, ruefully, nan

7:23 am

cybernan

education is the key --- that will, however, take time -- time that the US may not have. The best thing that could happen is that concientous executives will implement emission controls on their own -- but where the almighty dollar is king, that probably won't happen.

7:24 am

bichon

I am pessimistic that anything will move in the good direction.

7:25 am

bichon

Call me Eeyore

7:26 am

rubyfoo

At least California in its rigorous environmentalism is proving that those policies don't stifle job growth

7:26 am

rubyfoo

Hrumph, education with that imbecile DeVos in charge

7:27 am

cybernan

still wouldn't like to see Arnie as potus either -- although he would probably be an improvement over Trump

7:27 am

rubyfoo

No,not Arnue any more, it's Gov. Brown

7:28 am

cybernan

I thought the CA environmental clean up began during Arnie's tenure

7:29 am

bichon

I think CA has always be environmentally aware

7:30 am

rubyfoo

I'lm sorry, of course you're right:

7:30 am

rubyfoo

I'm sorry, of course you're right.

7:30 am

bichon

fe 6/36, pls

7:31 am

rubyfoo

I watched Bron's latest speech last night and he seemed to be having trouble spezking clerly. I hope he's not ick

7:31 am

bichon

? Bron

7:32 am

rubyfoo

Brown, I can't type today

7:34 am

bichon

When we went on our river cruise last month, there were a bunch of people from Texas. One of them told me I was lucky I lived in a blue state

7:35 am

cybernan

fe 6/36: sounds like animal hair + 1/2 pebbles flinstone's best friend

7:36 am

bichon

ty nan

7:36 am

rubyfoo

ty nan

7:37 am

rubyfoo

amazing you could find such a word!

7:37 am

cybernan

there were texans on our last cruise too --- all they did was talk about how many cars and trucks they owned and how many guns they carried in each

7:37 am

rubyfoo

OMG!

7:38 am

bichon

This cruise was a bit different. It's educational and I think the people had other aspirations

7:39 am

rubyfoo

It's all very depressing and scary. I'm relieved that the French had the good sense to elect Macron

7:41 am

cybernan

did you see that video on you tube where they sent a 13 year old boy in one of the states shopping? The grocery store cashier refused to sell him booze without an ID, the convience store clerk wouldn't sell him any cigarettes, the adult entertainment store wouldn't sell him any porn magazines, but he walked out of the gun shop owning a rifle after 10 minutes

7:41 am

rubyfoo

I didn't even reach half, but I greatly appreciate the conversation

7:42 am

rubyfoo

That's a shocker, nan

7:42 am

cybernan

only in the USA!

7:45 am

rubyfoo

one problem is that like here in France with difficult access to guns, anything can be weaponized

7:46 am

cybernan

yes, but that requires more effort than just whipping out a gun and shooting someone in a fit of anger

7:46 am

rubyfoo

Anybody who is willing to die can kill many people

7:47 am

therealblah

like guys with trucks driving into crowds... :(

7:47 am

rubyfoo

I don't even go to the mall any more

7:50 am

therealblah

it's terrible that things we used to do carefree - malls, movie theaters, fireworks shows - now you think twice about

7:50 am

cybernan

not sure what we can do about extremists and fanatics

7:51 am

cybernan

that would require getting the fanatics on board and now it seems we are electing them to power

7:56 am

cybernan

taking a break -- maybe get another hour's snooze in

7:59 am

mkg

arab is not in dict???????????

8:00 am

Scrabbler

8:26 am

8:27 am

8:29 am

lynxxx

hi Eva - and gorgeous baby

8:29 am

mkg

Was a clue for the 10 just given? i only see the stat. would love a clue. ty

8:29 am

Scrabbler

Is Baby K cough-free and wheeze-free now?

8:29 am

mkg

just got the 10. sorry.

8:30 am

Scrabbler

Clue is below at 8:13, mkg.

8:30 am

EvaNadine

for the most part, yes!
took him back to the pulmonologist for a follow-up this week and he was VERY happy with what he heard. or didnt hear, as the case may be. :)

8:30 am

mkg

ty.

8:30 am

grant

am5/16?

8:30 am

mkg

anyone have a further clue for the ur 5? ty

8:30 am

EvaNadine

he wants K to stay on the inhaler/chamber until we see him again for another followup in 6 weeks, at which time, he will most likely take him off the meds.

8:31 am

Scrabbler

grant, am5 = am + past tense of to take a chomp of food

8:31 am

Scrabbler

Great news and plan, Eva.

8:31 am

Scrabbler

u + ri4/4

8:32 am

mkg

got it. ty

8:32 am

EvaNadine

and magically, Baby K is pretty much sleeping through the night for the most part now.
it's like....breathing well helps you sleep! who knew?! ;)

8:33 am

Scrabbler

Airway inflammation worsens overnight when our adrenal gland produces lower amounts of corticosteroids, so he was probably having SOB.

8:34 am

Scrabbler

Lynxxx, I found the at5 x 2 and that A is grey now, TY.

8:35 am

lynxxx

yw - it had me going too

8:37 am

EvaNadine

how can Bi5 be a word if the non-word without the B isnt a word??
i mean, they go hand-in-hand!

8:38 am

Trifioso

hi friends. I still, for the life of me, can't find the lone a. count please?

8:38 am

lynxxx

Yep - I tried that too

8:39 am

lynxxx

Trif - think that is the ar8.50

8:39 am

Scrabbler

Yes, ar8 = ar + ripe

8:39 am

Trifioso

thanks....looking.

8:40 am

Trifioso

bless you. nbt at last!

8:45 am

rururocks

8:45 am

Scrabbler

And they bi4/6!

8:45 am

rururocks

8:46 am

lynxxx

8:46 am

EvaNadine

they like to climb up the water spout

8:49 am

Scrabbler

bi5/18 is in the grid, ruru.

8:49 am

rururocks

thought you had to have itsy before it :D

8:51 am

EvaNadine

hints for the U?
or the A directly above the L?

8:51 am

Scrabbler

u + ri4/4 (currency)

8:52 am

Scrabbler

at5 = plural of upper chambers of the heart, then make an adjective

8:52 am

lynxxx

at5.10 & at6.18

8:56 am

EvaNadine

Nef

Judi, Due to Comcast system messing us over & rude customer service, my son (who currently lives with us called Century Link and yesterday we got their business line for internet but my son forgot about our phone being through Comcast also; so we won't have a "land line" for another week. It's been blessedly silent for the past 24 hours without all those robe calls! :-)
But that might be why they are bugging you so much today too.

11:42 am

Judi

Apple needs to come up with a "Kill" button for calls.

We signed up for the "Do Not Call List" years ago for both the cell and the land lines at the time. Apparently no one really adheres to that anymore.
