Morning all.

12:07 am

Lizlin

Hi Peach

12:08 am

gapeach

Any whale watching, Liz?

12:09 am

Lizlin

We went last Monday - not since then. Missed seeing Migaloo, the albino humpback on Tuesday because we had other arrangements. Bit sad about that but we're lucky because we've seen him twice before.

12:11 am

gapeach

That is so exciting!

12:11 am

Lizlin

it is - hopefully we'll go again on Thursday this week. We try to go every week but it does depend on the weather - particularly on how rough the ocean is. Hate rough water.

12:13 am

gapeach

Yes. You took some wonderful pictures.

12:13 am

Lizlin

14 to go but falling asleep!! better just get to bed, bb in the morning

2:46 am

sprite

good morning all

2:50 am

flosey

good morning Sprite - seems sleep will not come, so will try to find the last 14 words

2:51 am

sprite

aw so sorry, flosey :( It is nasty, being tired and not able to sleep. But lovely to see you. *hug*

2:51 am

flosey

hugs back, tks for concern, maybe a cup of tea and mind elsewhere will help

2:52 am

sprite

that sometimes does the trick for me.

2:54 am

sprite

or what often works for me: doing a sudoku or binary puzzle. My therapist once said that doing numerical or logical puzzles distracts the part of the brain that keeps us awake.

2:56 am

flosey

have never tried sudoku, better at word puzzles - crosswords, etc

2:57 am

sprite

yeah me too, but it does work.

2:58 am

flosey

will look into it, after I find the last 14 here

2:58 am

sprite

yay :D At least you have your priorities right ;)

2:58 am

flosey

lol

2:59 am

sprite

our rose is on her way back home, I believe. Intensely grateful for the wonderful journey she and Don enjoyed.

3:07 am

sprite

new babble dictionary word: referal - wildly enthusiastic recommendation

3:07 am

flosey

am anxious to hear all about their trip

3:08 am

sprite

yes, will be lovely to get lengthy descriptions. So far, the emails have been short. As they should be, because their time was much better used seeing good things and resting where needed.

3:11 am

flosey

yes, of course, no time to be wasting on a laptop - plenty of time for that once they're home

3:12 am

sprite

exactly. Rose said she will send the pictures once they are home too. Much easier and we can wait :)

3:13 am

flosey

oh my, those last 14 words came much faster than I expected!!

3:13 am

sprite

oh wow! WTG flosey!!!!!!!!!

3:13 am

flosey

now, perhaps a good time to look up sudoku

3:14 am

flosey

bb tomorrow, good night for now - and you have a great day Sprite

3:14 am

sprite

indeed. Start with the easy ones ;)

3:14 am

flosey

will do - much better with words than numbers

3:15 am

sprite

it is nice to discover the logic rules step by step.

3:50 am

sprite

fireflies. Bye all, have a blessed day and a peaceful night

Hello.

6:18 am

rubyfoo

Fabulous weather and my "monkey-boy" helper and I picked dozens of figs.

6:19 am

rubyfoo

He climbs up Inside the tree and I stand below and catch the figs

6:19 am

MollyL

It's preserves making time at Chez Ruby

6:20 am

rubyfoo

I'm just eating s many as I can and sharing the rest. I've never made fig jam and all the recipes call for adding spices which doesn't sound ppealing

6:21 am

MollyL

Ooo, I think adding spices sounds good. However, I'm sure that enjoying the fresh figs is just fine.

6:21 am

rubyfoo

I used to make many jars of red currant Jelly, but it's too much trouble for me now

6:22 am

rubyfoo

So my garden is full of happy birds

6:25 am

rubyfoo

Time for the Tour, see you later

6:32 am

MollyL

Biker boys in shorts and fresh figs. It is a good day in Ruby's world.

9:08 am

penquis

9:08 am

10:17 am

Scrabbler

Hi kids.

10:18 am

cybernan

hi scrabbs

10:18 am

car.eeyore

Hello!!!!

10:19 am

Scrabbler

I am back from the Adirondack Mtns and I just finished going through 155 emails that I missed since last Sunday.

10:19 am

car.eeyore

Wow! Did you have a great time?

10:19 am

cybernan

a hiking trip scrabbs?

10:20 am

Scrabbler

Yes! One very tough hike to St Regis Mtn. 6.8 miles round-trip with the last 45 minutes to the summit being very challenging. But the views from the summit and firetower made the hike worth it.

10:21 am

Scrabbler

And three great kayaking adventures.

10:21 am

car.eeyore

wonderful!

10:21 am

cybernan

you must be in a lot better shape than I! -- a lot younger too!

10:22 am

cybernan

it takes me 20 minutes to walk 2km on fairly level ground

10:22 am

Scrabbler

I will be 58 in about 6 weeks although I act like a 12 year old. That hike was our cardiac stress test and we passed.

10:23 am

cybernan

well yes then --- you are just a few years older than my daughter

10:24 am

car.eeyore

And you look much younger than your age

10:26 am

Scrabbler

Thanks, Car. I use sun protection and lead a healthy lifestyle.

10:27 am

rururocks

I wish I only got 155 emails.. I get hundreds per day

10:28 am

Scrabbler

Why so many? For business?

10:28 am

rururocks

business and my ex wife :D

10:29 am

Scrabbler

Does your ex-wife stalk you?

10:30 am

rururocks

no.. not really

10:30 am

rururocks

but a couple players here do :D

10:30 am

rururocks

My Ex and I are friends so it's ok.. she's just a little anal about sending a million emails a week

10:31 am

Scrabbler

Babblers stalk you?

10:31 am

rururocks

yes.. just two

10:32 am

Scrabbler

Have you blocked them?

10:32 am

rururocks

not just me though.. I

10:35 am

rururocks

oh.. they don't have my email.. just stalk me in other ways

10:36 am

Scrabbler

You are a popular man, Ruru.

10:37 am

rururocks

I guess.. but I'd rather not be popular in that way :D

10:39 am

cybernan

are you holidaying in BC ru?

10:40 am

rururocks

just did nan.. it was wonderful.. gorgeous, stimulating, relaxing and perfect weather

10:40 am

cybernan

where did you go? -- obviously on the island as you didn't mention smoke!

10:40 am

rururocks

I'm seriously considering retiring up there

10:41 am

rururocks

I went to a hotel just outside of Tofino

10:41 am

rururocks

no smoke where I was

10:41 am

cybernan

the sunshine coast -- lovely

10:42 am

rururocks

it was as beautiful as I remembered it from before

10:42 am

cybernan

are you a fisherman?

10:42 am

rururocks

no.. I don't kill things

10:43 am

cybernan

only asked, because it is a popular spot for deep sea fishing

10:43 am

rururocks

I went deep sea whale watching though.. does that count?

10:43 am

rururocks

I wanted to see tufted puffins but sadly they weren't there

10:44 am

cybernan

sure - that's something on my bucket list --- hubby not much of a water person though

10:44 am

rururocks

we saw and followed a pod of Orcas and saw one gray whale

10:45 am

cybernan

maybe I should stick to river cruises :D

10:45 am

Scrabbler

Cool.

10:45 am

rururocks

ha

10:45 am

rururocks

I knocked off one thing off my bucket list

10:47 am

rururocks

did you have a nice vacation scrabs?

10:48 am

Scrabbler

Wonderful--kayaking, hiking, Scrabble, reading, and lots of laughing.

10:49 am

rururocks

I took some books to read..but never got to them.. the beaches were just too inviting

10:49 am

rururocks

that's good.. it's good to get away from work scrabs

10:49 am

MLFAN17

cyber no apparently its a replacement for adobe flash

10:50 am

Scrabbler

I finished my book in 4 days and should have brought another.

10:51 am

rururocks

I lugged a big heavy book and never got to it.. I should have left it home

10:52 am

cybernan

last re 6 please?

10:52 am

cybernan

maybe it's time to invest in an e-reader

10:52 am

MLFAN17

cyber the only one I have is the one ending in an n I am looking for the other two

10:52 am

rururocks

re + move your boat in the water

10:53 am

rururocks

I'm old-fashioned in that way nan.. gotta have a book in my hands

10:53 am

cybernan

ty - was totaly blind to that one

10:53 am

MLFAN17

ruru I agreee

10:54 am

MLFAN17

sorry I don't understand that clue?

10:54 am

rururocks

10:54 am

cybernan

fa 5/20 please?

10:55 am

MLFAN17

i'm thinking I'm thinking and that's not working lol

10:55 am

rururocks

Tinkerbelle is a fa5

10:55 am

MLFAN17

ty for the fa word ruru

10:56 am

cybernan

I used to think I could never enjoy an e-reader, but I'd be lost without mine now. They are just so easy to take anywhere with you and I don't have to make the trip to the library for my books as the libraries all have online lending now

10:56 am

rururocks

think that's the English spelling

10:57 am

cybernan

mmm - no fairy and no faerie

10:57 am

MLFAN17

cyber I don't know anybody who uses those things anymore but I don't know why eiteher

10:58 am

MLFAN17

10:58 am

cybernan

11:02 am

cybernan

on my way -- think I'll head out to the farmer's market this am. Hagd everyone.

11:02 am

MLFAN17

oh the reader's

11:03 am

MLFAN17

e book etc

11:03 am

cybernan

oh -- some people download books to their smartphone and I don't think young people know how to read --- they just watch TV and text each other ad nauseum

11:04 am

MLFAN17

lol cyber I don't have a cell phone and I have read the beginning of some books online

11:04 am

MLFAN17

other then that I get the actual book if I want to read it

11:05 am

cybernan

I read at least 5 books a week and find the e-reader a great convenience

11:05 am

MLFAN17

that's so cool cyber :)

11:07 am

Scrabbler

5 books a week! I aim for 1 book every 1-2 weeks, if I have the time.

11:09 am

MLFAN17

maybe by pressing a button or moving your finger across a screen is faster then turning the pages of a book?

11:10 am

MollyL

I am also old school. While I have a few books loaded up on my phone for convenience reading (doctor office waits, etc) I prefer the feel of a real book in my hands and real pages to turn.

11:11 am

MLFAN17

I agree with that molly

11:11 am

rururocks

I love the smell of books too.. can't do that with an e reader

11:11 am

rururocks

(if you did, someone would call the cops)

11:12 am

MLFAN17

i love both paperback books and hardcovers too

11:12 am

MLFAN17

i also love coffee table books!

11:12 am

rururocks

hey scrabs.. I have a joke for you

11:13 am

Scrabbler

I am ready to laugh and groan, Ruru.

11:13 am

rururocks

what did the nurse say when she found a thermometer in her blouse pocket

11:14 am

Scrabbler

What?

11:14 am

rururocks

"some asshole has my pen somewhere"

11:18 am

rururocks

<---guesses medical jokes are not funny around here

11:19 am

Scrabbler

Haha! I wondered if that was the punch line.

11:23 am

MLFAN17

my first re 6/18 ends in n is that the first or the 2nd re 6/18?

11:26 am

Scrabbler

I have re6/18 = to zip around again in a boat powered by the wind

11:27 am

MLFAN17

the first 6/18 I have is before that one

11:27 am

Scrabbler

I don't have your re6.

11:27 am

MLFAN17

Thanks bugsaw...was stumped thinking of a clue!

7:04 pm

Bugsaw

I have my moments but I am not often a good cluer Champ

7:04 pm

ChampFit

Well...there's been some wine over here...dulled my already not fabulous cluing skills. :)

7:05 pm

Bugsaw

would so love a glass of wine right now. Just signed up for pottery classes in September to challenge myself with something new and creative.

7:06 pm

ChampFit

That's great! You're going to have to post pictures of your creations.

7:07 pm

Bugsaw

probably not. this will be the first time in over 45 years trying this medium

7:08 pm

rururocks

Whew. I thought you signed up for pot classrs

7:09 pm

Bugsaw

don't need help there thanks ruru. Just don't tell my kids

7:09 pm

Bugsaw

some of them think I am so pure ':)

7:10 pm

ChampFit

I'm a big proponent of not admitting things until they're over 30. If you tell them earlier, they just think it's a survivor story....must be ok for them too.

7:11 pm

Bugsaw

mine are all over 30 now and know I am not the same Mum that raised them. hee hee
