Bonjour. Aftter a very big storm last night, l'm hoping that the heat wave has broken!
1:14 am
rubyfoo

1:14 am
rubyfoo

sorry
1:15 am
Lizlin

Hi Ruby
1:17 am
rubyfoo

Hi liz. How is your water/rain situation? lt is hard to Watch th news; every night brings some new atrocity: Trump; fires, drought, floods
1:18 am
Lizlin

It's very dry here - a bit like Europe. In fact the brownness in Europe reminded me of Australia.
1:18 am
rubyfoo

l'mglad to be on my little hill in my little village, but feel sorry for everybody else.
1:19 am
Lizlin

I was reasonably near you this summer - but on a tour, so not able to visit.
1:19 am
rubyfoo

The "grass" crunches but the fish androsees continue to thrive.
1:20 am
rubyfoo

Next time, try to build in an extra couple of days.
1:20 am
Lizlin

That would be good. Not possible though - boat trip, so it goes at it's own speed.
1:20 am
Lizlin

Not possible this time, I meant.
1:21 am
Lizlin

Rogue apostrophe there too.
1:22 am
Lizlin

Saw some beautiful things though. Pont du Gard was my favourite in France.
1:22 am
rubyfoo

l understand, not to worry. My present, though comfortable, isn't much fun. All the adventures are in the past but, happily, well-documents
1:23 am
Lizlin

Sorry that you're not so comfortable right now. Memories of travels are good though.
1:23 am
rubyfoo

l love the Pont du Gard; l had an old friend who lived nearby and we used to swim (Wade, in my case) in the Gard.
1:24 am
Lizlin

Our breath was taken away as we walked around the corner and saw it.
1:24 am
sprite

good morning a
1:24 am

all
1:25 am
Lizlin

Hi and hugs Sprite
1:25 am
sprite

*hugs Liz* How are you and your beloved doing?
1:25 am
rubyfoo

l'm much better tan l was last year, but can't travel and would be reluctant to leave the dogs, anyway. Raffie had minor surgery this week and Rufe actally grieved while she wwwas gone, wouldn't eat or drink or come out from Under the hedge.
1:25 am
Lizlin

Still fighting jet lag and resenting it.
1:26 am
Lizlin

Oh - poor Raffie and poor Rufie - amazing that he grieved for her. He must've been very relieved when she came home.
1:26 am
Lizlin

That's one reason why we don't have dogs, Ruby.
1:27 am
rubyfoo

lt was sad and touching. He's a very sensitive boy
1:27 am
sprite

ugh yeah, jet lag is horrible. Not easy to get your body back into normal mode.
1:27 am
rubyfoo

Very true, Liz, but living alone in this big house would be difficult.
1:28 am
Lizlin

Jet lag is worth it though for the fantastic things we see when we travel.
1:28 am
Lizlin

I completely understand, Ruby. If I were alone, I might well get a dog. I love dogs.
1:28 am
sprite

indeed :) So glad you had another lovely journey, Liz.
1:29 am
sprite

our ro4 is in the grid, I see
1:29 am
Lizlin

It was amazing, Sprite. So many beautiful French villages and fantastic things in Italy. Very much bucket list for me - places I've never seen before even though I lived in London for so long.
1:30 am
Lizlin

Time for me to go - need to put on some warmer clothes. It's getting cooler now and then bread to continue making. Lovely chatting to you both.
1:30 am
sprite

wonderful, Liz. I enjoy your enthusiasm, it is catching :D
1:32 am
rubyfoo

bye liz, you can dream of dangling your feet in thr Gard!
1:32 am
rubyfoo

that is sad, rose :(
2:12 am
jaianniah

Had a very bad day yesterday. My eye blew up. Guess the aqueous humor splits from eye back at some point in life. And we raced around getting my stupid foot tested for MRSA.
2:12 am

2:17 am
jaianniah

Yes. But I have more worries for Jam than myself. I despise smoke and heat.
2:17 am

2:20 am

2:21 am
sprite

oh wow, jai, that is really something. Good job, you! One day at a time, right?
2:21 am
grannyrose

2:21 am
sprite

addictions are tough to battle, for sure
2:21 am
Kamanjah

OMG, Rose, you actually drove a car on a foot path? I hope you realized in time that the GPS was confused! I took a google route once to a concert...and I was in the orchestra...it was a freaking dirt road!

Bragging here. I was President of my High School orchestra, no mean accomplishment for a violist. Blush.
2:31 am
Kamanjah

I've never had anyone to play viola duets with, so I have learned the Bach cello suites
2:31 am
grannyrose

speaking of names for things... DH used to call our GPS Beryl, my mother's name, as it was always telling us how and where to drive.... just like my mother.... i had to keep reminding him not to say that when she was in the car...loll
2:31 am
sprite

roflolllllll oh priceless
2:31 am

SUNY Binghamton is an excellent school, and Cornell, of course.
7:47 am
HarryHood

yes those 2. but I think binghamton is her safety - she'd prefer U of Maryland
7:48 am
Scrabbler

Another great school. So many choices--near/far, big city/small town, big university/small school.

Group practice in rural area--6 docs, 3 midlevels. Oldest doc will be 74 in 2 weeks and will probably retire at the end of the year.
8:00 am
Scrabbler

And her specialty?
8:00 am
HarryHood

neuro.
8:00 am
HarryHood

but she jumped over to pharm about 7 years ago.
8:00 am
Scrabbler

Cool. I am a migraineur so read up on that often.
8:00 am
HarryHood

though she still volunteers at the VA clinic
8:00 am
Scrabbler

So what does she do now?
8:01 am
HarryHood

neuro stuff for big pharma.
8:01 am
Scrabbler

We have a PA that will likely retire in a year or two, and the sooner the better. Another PA is so-so. I love our NP--VERY thorough and bright.
8:02 am
HarryHood

do the docs own the practice?
8:02 am
Scrabbler

I fear for the future of primary care with midlevels in charge.
8:02 am
Scrabbler

Yes, private practice. When oldest partner retires he gets a payout, and newest partner will likely be ready to buy in.
8:03 am
HarryHood

yes I've been hearing lost of complaints about PAs and RNs taking over
8:03 am
HarryHood

well that's much nicer than corporate ownership
8:03 am
Scrabbler

Most do not know what they don't know, and their training pales in comparison to residency.

8:11 pm

8:11 pm
HarryHood

I was going to mention that io was to halogenize rather than make a charged particle, but I thought it was to chemgeeky of me.
8:13 pm
nrkii

found the ar9, yay!
8:13 pm

8:17 pm
nrkii

Down to 21, and as always it is the 5 and 6 letter words that confound me. 17 of the 21 are those... sigh.
8:18 pm
jwr

Agreed. Some people are so good at bi-babbling, they can have a chat and play at one time without a pause.
8:19 pm
jwr

nrkii, do you go through your list on automatic trying out pre and suffixes
8:20 pm
nrkii

I haven't gone to the list yet. I go through each tile one at a time and try to get to only 1 or 2 unsolved on a tile before I move to the next one.
8:20 pm
nrkii

Somehow, the 5s and 6s just never come easy, even though I add the plurals and pts and all that.
8:21 pm
jwr

not The List nrkii, your word list to the right of the grid
8:21 pm
nrkii

ah, sometimes, but it mostly just makes me dizzy to look at that... I do better if I do it in real time
8:22 pm
nrkii

just found a 5 and a 6, getting there
8:26 pm
jwr

ah, of course. I know what you mean. It's my next to last resort before Lickety. My last always works, though, especially if your brain has gotten used to fixing on the grid. Go away. Come back later
8:28 pm
jwr

And now I take my own advice, leaving 69 unfound words behind me. .... Love your icon, nrkii. Bye all.
8:28 pm

8:41 pm

8:42 pm
