6:09 am

sukee

I couldn't see that exact video for some reason but there were others

6:10 am

MollyL

You can't post links here because they end up with
a \n in them and that makes them not work for
someone copying and pasting. Try tinyurl.com

6:11 am

MollyL

Tinyurl is for posting links. If you want to copy and paste the url, you have to remove the \n

6:13 am

Deeha

ok but i just copied it to above and it worked

6:15 am

MollyL

It doesn't work. It takes you to YouTube but not that exact video. If you take the \n out it takes you directly to the video.

6:15 am

8:35 am

Scrabbler

Bye

8:35 am

penquis

hi scrab.....i am going to do the NYT crossword after this....also working on a jigsaw puzzle....jogging around the apartment complex (very short jog, lol)....same ole, same ole.... ;o)

8:35 am

welki

bye, bea

8:36 am

8:36 am

Scrabbler

I am almost done with the NYT puzzle from our paper yesterday which was published in the NYT last week. This puzzle is the highlight of my week.

8:36 am

welki

oops - and i even knew it wasn't in the grid! *lol*

8:37 am

welki

i wish i could get the Sunday NYT puzzle here (on Sunday, in a paper newspaper)

8:37 am

Scrabbler

And I have always had a jigsaw puzzle going since the winter

8:37 am

welki

i have books of their puzzles, but it's not the same as flipping through the magazine and being rewarded with the puzzle at the end of your read

8:37 am

penquis

I do the puzzles online...i subscribe....i can print them out, but I don't....

8:38 am

Scrabbler

Look up the cork puzzle--corks lined up. It was the toughest puzzle that I have ever done and took me about 6 wks to finish

8:38 am

penquis

I was hoping to bring the puzzle to the Outer Banks this month, but now....figured it was a good thing to work on....

8:39 am

penquis

i will do that....thanks, scrab....

8:39 am

Scrabbler

It is torture, penquis, and you need a magnifying glass.

8:40 am

penquis

the puzzle i am doing has no picture....it's a mystery puzzle....1000 pieces, so it fits on my table....when i am done, i will read a short story and use the puzzle picture to solve the mystery....

8:41 am

Scrabbler

I have never done one of those.

8:42 am

penquis

they are fun, but challenging....good project right now because it's slower going than a regular puzzle....

8:42 am

penquis

i have to be careful not to OD on the puzzle.... ;o)

8:42 am

Scrabbler

The puzzle I am doing now has very odd shapes and is not linear.

8:43 am

Scrabbler

I don't like it.

8:44 am

penquis

ah....i did a puzzle shaped like a fish....and it was a fish, lol.....

8:44 am

Scrabbler

Haha

8:47 am

Scrabbler

24 left and I have had enough. ENjoy the day.

10:37 am

rbud

well, thanks for bringing it up, which made me look and find it, haha. Hadn't gotten that far in the list yet.

10:49 am

rbud

methinks I may have just found hokie's "head slapper" - gn4 - assuming it was indeed an attempted pun - I could be wrong. ;)

10:53 am

rbud

all done! Laters, all.

10:58 am

hurshy

greetings one and all!

10:59 am

Atalante

any clues needed from anyone?

11:00 am

hurshy

hello ms. atalante!

11:01 am

Atalante

bonjour!

11:01 am

hurshy

guten tag!

11:02 am

hurshy

phantom (in more ways than one): antigen

11:02 am

Atalante

fit like?

11:02 am

HarryHood

I have to sit on zoom watching kids take a mock ap exam for over 3 hours, and babble only has 63 words!!!!

11:02 am

Atalante

apparently thats hello in Doric

11:03 am

HarryHood

gotta ration words.

11:03 am

hurshy

oh that sucks harry

11:03 am

HarryHood

one extra time kid get 5 hours

11:04 am

hurshy

why would one need to proctor a mock exam? one doesn't want to cheat when one is finding out whether one is or is not prepared for the real thing.

11:04 am

HarryHood

I'm counting it as a test - double actually

11:04 am

HarryHood

but I'm going to curve it heavily - like the real ap

11:04 am

hurshy

you've brought this on yourself then

11:04 am

hurshy

lol

11:05 am

HarryHood

yes absolutely

11:05 am

HarryHood

I am alone to blame

11:05 am

HarryHood

but you still must pity me

11:05 am

Atalante

nope

11:05 am

hurshy

i do not accept the "must", but, i will pity you a LITTLE.

11:06 am

HarryHood

pfffft

11:06 am

Trifioso

harry, I am interested to hear that AP exams are still happening. I know several students who will be happy, having put in MUCH hard work already this year

11:06 am

Atalante

what does AP stand for?

11:06 am

HarryHood

trif they've cut them down to 45 minutes and cut out all kinds of material.

11:06 am

Trifioso

And they are open book?

11:06 am

hurshy

Advanced Placement

11:06 am

HarryHood

advanced placement - kind of like IB

11:07 am

Atalante

ah ok

11:07 am

hurshy

if you do well enough on them you can get college credits and shorten your time to degree

11:07 am

HarryHood

but IB is more advanced

11:07 am

HarryHood

open book yes.

11:07 am

HarryHood

but my mock exam will be a final exam for them - so my course is going to be a robust first year chem course

11:08 am

hurshy

well i just got back from going to stand outside my grandmother's nursing home window with Rilla

11:08 am

HarryHood

wow

11:08 am

HarryHood

is she OK?

11:09 am

hurshy

who, Rilla, or my grandmother?

11:09 am

Atalante

with Rilla! fab!

11:09 am

HarryHood

your grandma

11:09 am

Atalante

were there lots of horrible mole calculations?

11:09 am

hurshy

she is fine, just, requires too much care for my mom to handle. she had a stroke several years back.

11:10 am

HarryHood

nursing homes are scary these days

11:10 am

HarryHood

always atalante

11:10 am

hurshy

Rilla would like to call the authorities to report non-consensual taking of a cat to the outside world

11:11 am

Atalante

good, they all should suffer as I did :)

11:11 am

hurshy

i don't remember mole calculations being particularly terrible

11:11 am

Atalante

yes but you can make maths work!

11:12 am

HarryHood

we celebrate mole day in my class - 10/23

11:12 am

hurshy

well i assumed you could also!

11:12 am

Atalante

not when moles are involved

11:12 am

hurshy

it's just a number... if you can work with pi, you can work with Avogadro

11:13 am

Atalante

it was always annoying, I knew exactly how to do it, but the maths would always do wonky

11:15 am

hurshy

i often tell students that the secret of success in math is to have a zen attitude. when they first started introducing variables in school, other kids would freak out. what? letters?? you don't use LETTERS in MATH! whereas i said, "you want to use letters? ok, we'll use letters. whatever."

11:16 am

Atalante

I think looking way back, when I was first taught maths, I thought I understand the underlying things, then changed schools to be taught a different way that then made no sense to me, so I kind of created my own ways of working out stuff. Most of the time it worked and sometimes it totally didnt

11:17 am

hurshy

awww, that's too bad

11:17 am

HarryHood

when I started teaching math, I realized I hadn't really understood it at all

11:17 am

HarryHood

same with chem

11:17 am

Atalante

so the bits that make sense are absolutely fine. I happily did degree level fluid dynamics and oceanography

11:18 am

HarryHood

oceanography sounds much happier :)

11:18 am

Atalante

non-linear fluid dynamics is a bitch

11:18 am

hurshy

now that, i can believe, lol

11:18 am

HarryHood

I had to do alot of laminar flow and turbulent flow problems in grad school

11:19 am

Atalante

horrors

11:19 am

HarryHood

I decided to stay experimental after that

11:19 am

hurshy

ok, i'm ready for clues

11:25 am

Atalante

you don't like the Averngers films?

11:25 am

hurshy

11:25 am

periwinkle

11:25 am

Atalante

well Marvel says - t has long been speculated in the regular Marvel continuity that Black Widow is actually a descendant of the House of Romanov, who acted as the royal family of Russia for over three centuries

11:28 am

Trifioso

blessings to you, harry

11:29 am

M3

how did that happen? Odd. Must have touched the mousepad, lol

1:31 pm

LeslieAnn

blame it on a cat. doesn't matter if you have one

1:32 pm

amelu0218

I do but she's aloof. I can blame it on one of my many others who have crossed the rainbow bridge, tho.

1:34 pm

LeslieAnn

still causing trouble lol

1:35 pm

amelu0218

for sure!

1:35 pm

origami

My cat actually did that once in the babble chog.

1:38 pm

amelu0218

I have no doubt, lol. My sole survivor will sit on the arm of the chair or couch you're sitting in or the back of the recliner but she is no where near a 'lap cat'. Epitome of 'cat' but does not get on tables/counters or push items to the floor.

1:40 pm

HarryHood

clue for the bottom O please?

1:41 pm

amelu0218

1:41 pm

1:41 pm

amelu0218

just got it, lol

1:42 pm

origami

My cat is great. She is very self-sufficient and doesn't demand much from me.

1:45 pm

amelu0218

As long as she has food to graze on, mine is wonderful. She's indoor/outdoor and either perches on the window ledge outside of resides in her favorite notch in the oak tree so she can see everything, lol. Thank God she can't talk. My son found her under an azalea bush at a friend's house after Katrina, she was about 8-9 wks old. He brought her home and here she's stayed. So, July will make her 15 people years old.

1:48 pm

amelu0218

We put food on the ledge for her because even tho she could probably whip the dog's behind, she's leery of her. The cardinals are helping her with that in prep for their upcoming migration. She doesn't mind, just ignores them, believe it or not.

1:49 pm

origami

Mine is 15. She was a stray kitten a friend found. She is in charge of the dogs :D

1:51 pm

origami

I'm not a cat person, but also seem to have one. Cats love me - maybe because they sense I'm not really interested :D

1:51 pm

amelu0218

Yep. All of mine over the years were strays or 'Ms Amy, can you take these kittens because my daddy will kill them if they stay here' from cats who had their litter under someone's home.

1:51 pm

HarryHood

ty for the O!

1:51 pm

HarryHood

nbt and 23 to go

1:52 pm

amelu0218

yvw Harry!

1:55 pm

amelu0218

I'm with ya, origami, I'm a cat person simply because mine are indoor/outdoor and not 'needy', if that makes sense. My husband was always a dog person (me, not so much) and we have a canine addition that probably would be dead by now if he hadn't brought her home. She's a sweetheart but makes me absolutely bat$hitcrazy with her want of attention, lol.

1:58 pm

origami

I am definitely a dog person. I have two large old dogs now. They're currently sleeping on my unmade bed.

1:58 pm

amelu0218

Best bedwarmers ever!

2:00 pm

amelu0218

but I'm still a cat person and the dog doesn't get on the bed. one would think that a short haired dog wouldn't shed much but, sheesh, she's horrible... I read somewhere that that's more of a female canine thing but I cannot attest to that.

2:04 pm

amelu0218

If this shelter in place thing continues much longer, I may adopt more, lol. I think older furbabies need to be loved and homed but am not home (usually) enough for integration measures... *shrug*

2:05 pm

amelu0218

Cats and dogs

2:06 pm

origami

Both of mine sleep with me. A combined weight of 160 lb. There is a little room for me.

2:06 pm

origami

I am always covered in dog hair. I find it everywhere.

2:08 pm

amelu0218

I have a cousin who has taken in livestock (donkey/horse) along with dogs/cats. She's awesome.

2:10 pm

amelu0218

Magda (cat) is long haired and when she grooms herself inside I have to vacuum more often, lol. I try to keep the dog off the furniture but in winter (when she sleeps inside) she's gotten into the habit of sleeping on the couch (her bed is evidently not cozy enough). Thankfully, weather has changed and she prefers to sleep in her chair on the patio at night.

2:16 pm

origami

I have a black and tan dog, a white and red dog and the cat is long-haired white and black. I look good for about 5 minutes after getting dressed. Then I look like a lint roller.
