BzznBea

Let's go, Jayhawks! Beat the Horned Frogs!

11:04 am

penquis

i wouldn't be going out on a limb if said that I was branching out in lots of directions... ;o)

11:05 am

zoozzoom

We have a storm coming over from the USA for tomorrow. Wonder if it is the same storm that hit you. It will be lots of rain and 80+ MPH winds.

11:05 am

rururocks

i've heard your bark is worse than your bite though

11:05 am

penquis

perhaps it is the same storm, zooz....

11:05 am

saanichcat

grooaaan

11:05 am

BzznBea

I'm sure it is, zooz.

11:05 am

penquis

i woodn't say that.... ;o)

11:06 am

rururocks

just thought i'd add a new timber to the chat

11:06 am

saanichcat

fir sure you are ru

11:06 am

penquis

well i will be leafing soon anyway...

11:06 am

MLFAN17

jayhawks and horned frogs? oh now that's a game for ya

11:07 am

saanichcat

Is Horned Frogs a real name?

11:07 am

hurshy

of a college team, yeah

11:07 am

zoozzoom

Get right to the root of the puns, Ru!

11:07 am

BzznBea

It is if you live in Fort Worth Texas.

11:07 am

rururocks

I know about horny frogs not horned ones

11:08 am

MLFAN17

and a real frong..poisonous too

11:08 am

MLFAN17

Jayhawk however is not

11:08 am

MLFAN17

are you watching basketball?

11:08 am

hurshy

well nobody expects a jayhawk to be a frog

11:08 am

saanichcat

Thanks Hursh

11:09 am

BzznBea

The name is real, mlf. But it is a "mythical" bird of Kansas.

11:09 am

MLFAN17

yes made up and so is the character

11:10 am

MLFAN17

the jayhawks college football team is terrible

11:10 am

zoozzoom

Phantom: President.

11:11 am

rururocks

that's been the truth here for a long time here zooz

11:11 am

BzznBea

There is a historical reason for the name Jayhawk. People born in the great state of Kansas are referred to as Jayhawks. There is also a historical reason for the fans' chant, "Rock Chalk" and for them to "wave the wheat".

11:11 am

zoozzoom

🤣🤣

11:11 am

hokie carla

I finally did what I'm afraid of every day - fell down the stairs. at least it was feet first.

11:11 am

MLFAN17

my husband is waiting for the new football to start

11:12 am

zoozzoom

Oh dear I do hope you are okay, Hokie Carla?

11:12 am

BzznBea

Oh, Carla! I hope you are okay!

11:12 am

BzznBea

I fear that every day too. Ours are not covered with carpet.

11:12 am

rururocks

i thought you were the stair master

11:12 am

hokie carla

sore on both elbows, one ankle, & one butt cheek

11:12 am

hokie carla

apparently not!

11:12 am

rururocks

(no stairs here)

11:13 am

hurshy

more of a demon than a phantom in this case

11:13 am

BzznBea

And you will probably be sorer tomorrow.

11:13 am

hokie carla

ours are not covered either. I guess these socks are slippery. I usually have on houseshoes (other folks call them slippers).

11:13 am

zoozzoom

It is very easy to break something. I do hope you will be more wary next time.

11:14 am

rururocks

*gives the staircase an evil eye*

11:14 am

hokie carla

the dog was very concerned

11:14 am

MLFAN17

hokie maybe you should pu ton a runner on the steps that doesn't move

11:15 am

hokie carla

husband is in the basement and son is still asleep. I guess neither of them heard anything.

11:15 am

hurshy

i was just reading about some athlete or daredevil or something who did fine with all the stuff they did in their career but then slipped with socks on a slippy floor at home and got a very severe head injury and TBI

11:15 am

BzznBea

Carla, have you tried the slippers called KoziKicks? I love them!

11:15 am

zoozzoom

My parents staircase is carpeted and my mother wears slippers but I still worry when she goes up and down the stairs at 80 years old as she is not steady on her feet.

11:15 am

hokie carla

hurshy, that about sums it up

11:16 am

zoozzoom

Yes I can imagine that being easily done, Hurshy.

11:16 am

MLFAN17

did you yell for either of them? if only you had had your cell phone?

11:16 am

rururocks

i better go jump in the shower and get ready .. company is coming

11:16 am

rururocks

see you guys tomorrow i hope

11:17 am

zoozzoom

Have a great day, Ruru!

11:17 am

hokie carla

my mom has been having dizziness problems and she was talking about going to her basement the other day to put Xmas boxes on shelves down there. I told her to just wait. That basement was a mess until I organized it Oct, so I don't know what her hurry is.

11:17 am

hokie carla

bye, ru. have a good time with your company.

11:17 am

hokie carla

(and where'd the blue go?)

11:19 am

MLFAN17

my mom has a house with no carpet on the steps.its apparently hard to see where this one step goes and a lot of people have fallen(no injuries that i know of). I think she fiinaly put a runner on the stairs. They are stained dark brown

11:19 am

hurshy

have we got any GN words?

11:19 am

MLFAN17

everybody if they can should hold onto a railing

11:19 am

zoozzoom

Sometimes they say they are going to do something on the hope that you will say do not worry I will do it for you.

11:20 am

BzznBea

No, hursh

11:20 am

hokie carla

yes, my mom holds tight to her railing. I was carrying an iPad and a bag of cough drops so not holding on.

11:20 am

MLFAN17

sad but true zooz

11:20 am

hurshy

good, thanks

11:20 am

MLFAN17

did you have a pocket??

11:21 am

hurshy

there was probably a wocket in her pocket

11:22 am

hokie carla

not today sadly

11:22 am

MLFAN17

how does your ankle look?

11:23 am

zoozzoom

Both replacable, Hokie. Bones on the other hand although will mend. sadly as we age takes a hell of a long time to mend including bruising. I would of let go of the items but saying that it does happen so fast you probably would not of had time anyway.

11:24 am

BzznBea

I'm having more reactions to my vacs today. My torso is covered with hives. =(

11:24 am

MLFAN17

my husband hurt his ankle/foot a few weeks ago.

11:25 am

MLFAN17

bzz uh oh

11:25 am

hokie carla

oh, they flew everywhere. also had a stylus for my iPad in my hand.

11:25 am

hokie carla

oh no, bea! do you have any benedryl?

11:25 am

zoozzoom

Sorry to hear that, Bea

11:26 am

MLFAN17

i thought a stylus could fit on the outside of the ipad?

11:27 am

zoozzoom

I thought a stylus was for a record player LOL

11:28 am

BzznBea

Yes, we have benedryl. I rubbed frankincense and jojoba on the hives. Wehn I get back from errand running, I'll take benedryl if they are still present.

11:28 am

hokie carla

I have an old iPad mini, so the stylus is aftermarket

11:28 am

MLFAN17

11:28 am

MLFAN17

ohh

11:29 am

BzznBea

11:29 am

hokie carla

11:29 am

MLFAN17

11:29 am

BzznBea

I don't have the other.

11:29 am

MLFAN17

which one do you have?

11:29 am

hokie carla

I have 3 ne5/12 that are pl

11:30 am

zoozzoom

11:30 am

penquis

hokie carla

dweeb

11:30 am

penquis

11:30 am

hokie carla

my sewing machine even has a stylus

11:30 am

MLFAN17

i have geeks and desires..what am i missing?

11:31 am

hokie carla

one of my friends here fell head first and woke up in a pool of blood. she broke her jaw. ever since I heard that I have a fear of falling face first.

11:31 am

penquis

you are missing a product of the seeds of a tropical tree....often seen in the grid.....ends in the left lower corner...

11:31 am

hokie carla

mlfan, a weird one. a tree or seed of a tree.

11:31 am

zoozzoom

Same as the desires but different 2nd to last letter.

11:32 am

hokie carla

rhymes with "appear to be"

11:32 am

MLFAN17

hokie instinct is to put your hands down when falling

11:32 am

MLFAN17

ty zooz and hokie

11:32 am

penquis

a friend gave me a rubber thing to hold the iphone....goes around the neck like a lanyard....should use it more often, i think....

11:32 am

MLFAN17

that greyed that N for me

11:33 am

BzznBea

I use ne4 oil all the time as an organic pesticide.

11:33 am

MLFAN17

at least if you had that you could call for help but you might also break it that way

11:33 am

hokie carla

I put my shoes on now and went upstairs to find my phone, so y'all will be glad to know I made it back down

11:33 am

penquis

true, mlf....

11:34 am

MLFAN17

hokie congrats. what device are you playing Babble on?

11:34 am

penquis

yea, hokie!

11:34 am

hokie carla

the kid finally got up too and I asked him why he didn't come help when I fell down the stairs. he said he heard it but thought I just dropped something. yeah, me!

11:34 am

penquis

i am totally stuck with 47 left to find....think i need a break....bbl to finish....bye all....

11:35 am

MLFAN17

MLFAN17

11:35 am

hokie carla

11:35 am

hokie carla

bye pen

11:36 am

MLFAN17

that's cool i use a desktop computer

11:38 am

hokie carla

I have our supposed to be formal living room set up as a sewing room/office

11:39 am

MLFAN17

we don't have a dinning room at all since we don't entertain

11:39 am

BzznBea

Much better use for a formal, living room, I think, Carla. =)

11:40 am

MLFAN17

lol bzz

11:40 am

MLFAN17

ew only have an eat in kitchen

11:41 am

MLFAN17

i like an eat in kitchen:)

11:43 am

hokie carla

waste of space as a formal living room :D

11:44 am

hokie carla

I do wish I could close it off to the foyer and dining room though, but we rarely have guests

11:44 am

MLFAN17

hokie did your family eat together in a dining room?

11:45 am

hokie carla

we have a table in the kitchen we eat at. dining room table is currently covered in sewing patterns and items for goodwill.

11:47 am

MLFAN17

yeah dinning table is much bigger for that kind of stuff

11:47 am

MLFAN17

:)

11:47 am

zoozzoom

Okay quick first go through and I have 157 words found. Will try and come back later to see if I can find any more. Happy babbling everyone!

11:48 am

BzznBea

Our dining room table is 8' currently. Will expand to 12'. All my stuff is piled on one end of the table and we eat at the other end. =)

11:50 am

hokie carla

in other news, I'm trying to buy a nice table with pull out ledges from Earth Fare for my sewing room

11:50 am

BzznBea

That would be nice, Carla.

11:50 am

hokie carla

currently using a 6' folding table for cutting, but would like this other one

11:51 am

hokie carla

no idea what they are selling fixtures for, but I filled out a form in the store yesterday!

11:51 am

cybernan

I really miss my sewing/craft room. We have an office, but by the time we got the desk, bookcases, credenza and computer cabinet in there, there was no room left

11:52 am

BzznBea

Do you have your cutting table elevated, Carla.

11:52 am

hokie carla

yeah, I spend most of my time here, nan. will definitely need one in our future house.

11:53 am

hokie carla

no, bea, that's one reason I like this other table better.

11:53 am

BzznBea

Killer on the back for cutting over.

11:54 am

MLFAN17

zooz i have the same amount found

11:54 am

hokie carla

I do have an elevated ironing table that I made with IKEA stuff

11:54 am

hokie carla

could probably do something similar for cutting table

11:55 am

BzznBea

I have my ironing table set low so I can just turn in my sewing chair and press.

11:55 am

MLFAN17

earth fare?

11:57 am

MLFAN17

i don't own anything from IKEA but the things they sell are interesting and expensive

11:57 am

hokie carla

earth fare is a grocery chain that is closing so they are selling everything, incl. store fixtures

11:58 am

hokie carla

I think IKEA is interesting and cheap LOL

11:59 am

MLFAN17

hokie yes, i just looked earth fare on google and saw that they are closing

12:00 pm

MLFAN17

we used to have a Ben Franklin here but that went out of business a while back

12:00 pm

JaxH66

I was just about to order some storage from IKEA for delivery, but seeing their delivery change and that we are literally just round the corner I've decided to go and collect it. Trying to sort out my store room (was my garage until we turned the front of it into a study)

12:00 pm

MLFAN17

that's cool jax

12:01 pm

hokie carla

our Ben Franklin closed too, a couple of years ago. the one at my mom's is still open though

12:01 pm

hokie carla

luckily I have an IKEA nearby so I don't ever get it delivered

12:02 pm

MLFAN17

is that in charlotte hokie?

12:02 pm

hokie carla

but Ben Franklin is a crafts store, was yours grocery?

12:02 pm

JaxH66

I don't normally, but as my husband can't be humping furniture about, it seemed easier to do

12:02 pm

hokie carla

yes, mlfan

12:03 pm

MLFAN17

good idea jax

12:03 pm

hokie carla

yeah, jax, that makes a difference!

12:03 pm

MLFAN17

hokie i would love to at least go in an Ikea store

12:04 pm

evanonut

what where you have to follow the arrows and walk the entire thing because if you don't you'll feel like you broke the rules?

12:04 pm

hokie carla

I have bought a few things that I had no business loading into a vehicle by myself, but I still managed. :D then made the kids unload them when I got home. luckily they are usually in several boxes.

12:04 pm

MLFAN17

lol hokie

12:04 pm

hokie carla

LOL, evanonut. Yes, but they have shortcuts marked that you are welcome to take.

12:05 pm

JaxH66

There's shortcuts all the way through the store, saves loads of time if you know what you want and where it is. And also the times to go to avoid the crowds

12:05 pm

evanonut

Oh I don't think I can. What if I miss something that I couldn't live without?

12:05 pm

BzznBea

Is it cold out there, CArla?

12:05 pm

MLFAN17

my husband always mentions the fact that people buy big things like cases of bottled water and cant get them in their cars by themelves

12:06 pm

MLFAN17

evan are you sure?

12:06 pm

hokie carla

Yep, I only go during the week. No weekends.

12:06 pm

JaxH66

There's lots of stuff like that in IKEA. My best was we went in for a lightbulb and came out with a sofa!

12:06 pm

MLFAN17

jax at IKEA?

12:06 pm

cybernan

haven't been to an ikea for years -- ever since we downsized, I've been giving away stuff and trying very hard not to add anything!

12:06 pm

hokie carla

cold and frosty this morning, bea. 41 right now, so yes.

12:06 pm

JaxH66

Yes.

12:06 pm

MLFAN17

jax and no light bulb?

12:07 pm

evanonut

oh we are downsizing too cyber. and mlf, definitely sure. could be a tragic loss.

12:07 pm

JaxH66

We got the lightbulb as well. Love IKEA for all of the basic furniture. It's reasonable quality and lasts well

12:07 pm

MLFAN17

we need to get a few new/newer things for our home

12:07 pm

hokie carla

at one point my husband told me I couldn't go with this one friend anymore because I always spent too much $$ with her for some reason. haha.

12:08 pm

MLFAN17

jax that's so cool

12:08 pm

hokie carla

MLFAN it is in North Charlotte, so closer to you than if it was south

12:08 pm

MLFAN17

hokie great influence?lol

12:09 pm

JaxH66

IKEA is way too close to us. Takes less than 5 minutes to drive there.

12:09 pm

hokie carla

looking in my sewing room right now, I count no less than 9 different IKEA pieces :D

12:10 pm

BzznBea

I'd rather go to a thrift store or second hand stores. =)

12:11 pm

hokie carla

I am about 15 min drive, jax, so just as dangerous.

12:11 pm

hokie carla

bea, I never have that kind of luck at thrift stores

12:12 pm

cybernan

lol - the quail just came out of hiding. It is the funniest thing ever to watch them floundering through the snow :)

12:14 pm

BzznBea

It depends on the area of the store. I only look for items to upcycle. Always looking for 100% wool clothing for wool applique. Sometimes, I wll find a lovely quilt that nees to find a home.

12:19 pm

MLFAN17

yeah hubby and i don't have much luck at goodwill stores everytime we go there

12:20 pm

MLFAN17

bzz what do you upcycle?

12:20 pm

BzznBea

Ah, I do not go to Goodwill. They are not non profit.

12:22 pm

BzznBea

Currently, I am looking for baskets for flower planting. Also looking for teapots to make bird houses and feeders from. It just depends on what the need of the moment is. =)

12:22 pm

hokie carla

yesterday I made an ottoman pouf and stuffed it with all my fabric scraps

12:22 pm

MLFAN17

the thrift store we have here are a bit more expensive and don't have much variety goodwill i good for clothing sometimes

12:23 pm

MLFAN17

bzz ohhh

12:23 pm

MLFAN17

good idea hokie

12:24 pm

hokie carla

I think that is upcycling

12:24 pm

MLFAN17

pretty much yes

12:24 pm

cybernan

do you have a 'restore' down there bea? They usually have all that stuff and the proceeds go to habitat for humanity. We donated all kinds of stuff to them when we downsized.

12:25 pm

hokie carla

we have one somewhere in this metro area, nan. I need to check into it.

12:25 pm

BzznBea

My favorite place to go is The Scrap Exchange in Durham. Google them and then look at the pictures of the things they have at Scrap Thrift Store and the Reuse Art Shop under the Retail Store shop tab. The stuff they have there is amazing!

12:26 pm

MLFAN17

oh yea we have Restore here my hubby bought a computer chair there for like 10 bucks

12:26 pm

MLFAN17

great condition too

12:26 pm

MLFAN17

i gtg will be back...

12:27 pm

BzznBea

Most of the Restore here is furniture and building supplies. We bought several cases of subway tile for the kitchen backsplash there. We also bought several really cool vintage light fixtures for our old house. I always find some cool things at restore that I can rework.

12:29 pm

cybernan

ok - our Restore has a china and glassware section as well.

12:30 pm

cybernan

I also bought our kitchen light fixture (brand new overstock from Home Depot) and some tile for the laundry room countertop there for a song.

12:32 pm

BzznBea

I'm off to run errands. Until tomorrow.

12:33 pm

hokie carla

bye bea!

12:33 pm
