That bottom left U is killing me - I have two, ur5 and related 6 but I cannot for the life of me, at the moment, see the other 9!
4:26 am
mattygroves
(9 words, that is)
4:28 am
MollyL
Matty, I had to look most of them up. Very obscure.
4:28 am

That makes me feel a wee bit better, thanks ;) Perhaps I'll worry about them later
5:05 am
dizgrannie
Mat, don[t get too dishearten , up 5
5:13 am
MollyL
I think Matty is struggling with the other U
5:15 am
MollyL
I know I did. Most of those words are not in my everyday vocabulary.
5:16 am
mattygroves
Yep, the U in the lower left corner. I have all but one of the other U :)

Good morning! Might be getting a new puppy today!

Morning friends always makes me think of the Romper Room lady : D
7:27 am
BzznBea
I'm sure you are excited.
7:27 am
phandmd
I was on Romper Room once!
7:27 am
BzznBea
She was Miss Fran and Miss Marty, in my viewing area.
7:27 am
MollyL
A dog or a puppy?
7:28 am
phandmd
5-6 months old
7:30 am
bichon
I don't think I's want an 8 week old
7:30 am
MollyL
I was on Countdown Carnival, a local show that featured kids who had carnivals for dystrophy. Who remembers those?
7:30 am
phandmd
I would have loved to have gotten one at 8 weeks.
7:31 am
phandmd
I feel like it is a very vague memory, Molly
7:31 am
MollyL
If I ever get a dog (and that is a huge stretch) it's going to be a puppy.
7:31 am
hokie carla
so many a's. I already don't like this grid.
7:32 am
phandmd
Well, gotta run Off to an appointment with a designer for our new built ins for our family room
7:32 am
MollyL
Damn, phan is getting it all. A new dog, remodeling.
7:32 am
hokie carla
no time like the present
7:33 am
BzznBea
LOL! I thought of you when I saw the A's.
7:33 am
MollyL
Yes, look at all those A's splashed across the first row like HA!!
7:33 am
hokie carla
awful, arrogant
7:33 am

that's all I've got, see I'm bad at a words

7:35 am

I'll stop, words are my thing. Or "my jam" as the young people would say
7:36 am
BzznBea
Stepped out on the back porch this morning to let Emma out. A momma cat had brought her three kittens up last night.
7:36 am
hokie carla
awesome, vowel words are not my jam
7:36 am
hokie carla
awwww
7:37 am
MollyL
Whenever my kid says that I respond with "Jam? I have some jam. Strawberry or peach?" just to be an ass.
7:38 am
MollyL
But not as big of an ass as the guy in my office who wears a mask that says THESE DON'T WORK
7:39 am
hokie carla
the mask says it or he says it while wearing it?
7:39 am
MollyL
It is printed on the mask
7:39 am
BzznBea
LOL! You are right, Molly. He is a pretty big ass.
7:40 am
MollyL
I agree with the sentiment, but I would never wear a mask advertising that
7:41 am
MollyL
This guy is a total jerk. One of those people who thinks HE is right about everything. I find people like that tedious.
7:43 am
hokie carla
agreed
7:43 am
hokie carla
apparently I can only post with a words now
7:45 am

Bottom row done.

And I found my fish right away this morning.

7:47 am
MollyL
Bea's fish and plant are getting as much chat time as the volcano, the hairy nosed dolphin and the Hawaiian goose used to : D
7:47 am
BzznBea
I check for him too. Almost.
7:47 am
hokie carla
what is the hairy nosed dolphin?
7:48 am
BzznBea
What is the sea worm?
7:49 am
hokie carla
wow, can't even get to half the L's
7:49 am
BzznBea
That is another common one.
7:51 am
BzznBea
Carla, I found an orphan quilt block in my things. It would be a nice piece for me to do for my mom's birthday as it is done in her favorite colors.
7:51 am
BzznBea
I'm going to post a pic to flickr and then ask you about my idea.
7:51 am
hokie carla
that sounds good! ok
7:53 am
MollyL
nereid or teredo (I had to look those up)
7:55 am
hokie carla
just noticed my name in the grid
7:56 am
BzznBea
nereid, that's the one.
7:59 am
MollyL
Ding ding! Carla gets the Babble ti5 for the day
8:00 am
hokie carla
thank you, did not have ti5
8:00 am
MollyL
Is it the heart one Bea? I would love to have place mats like that for Valentine's Day
8:00 am
BzznBea
Okay, I posted the block and in the background are scraps I'm going to use. I did find a pattern for this block which surprised me! Thought I would make another block and put the points of the hearts together. Then add borders to make it fit a small chest she has in her room that displays her family pictures. I also thought about putting a checkerboard between the two blocks.
8:01 am
BzznBea
I am still asleep as I was going to ask what your name was...grief!
8:03 am
hokie carla
sounds like a great idea! love the block.
8:04 am
BzznBea
I won that block in a raffle at the guild I belonged.
8:05 am
hokie carla
oh wow, and you have scraps that match well
8:05 am
BzznBea
I have scraps that match almost anything. =)
8:06 am
hokie carla
one of my friends asked me yesterday if I could make her some masks and if that was a dumb question. then she asked if I had fabric and I said that was a dumb question.
8:06 am
hokie carla
I have 18mos-2 years to use up most of my stash and not buy any more before we go on the road.
8:07 am
BzznBea
LOL! I'm going to see if I can get elastic and make some more, I think.
8:07 am
BzznBea
Probaly send in an order to wawak.
8:08 am
hokie carla
check surge fabrics, they had the small round elastic like on some disposable masks. I got some and like it better than the flat. I think it's more comfortable and forgiving on bigger heads too.
8:09 am
BzznBea
Thanks, I will look there.
8:10 am
hokie carla
here's a link: https://tinyurl.com/yb7pd6r7

I will get some ordered. Thank you.

Try this: Hold down Command, Shift and click the 'R' key.
10:56 am
rururocks
maybe it would be a good time to start drinking hursh then they might straighten out :D
10:57 am
hurshy
yeah refreshing hasn't helped
10:57 am
mattygroves
Have you tried on a different browser? Safari? Firefox?
10:57 am
ChampFit
On my PC, I can hit Ctrl and - or + and it will give me the option to go back to the default screen size. Sometimes I hit something that reduces or enlarges everything, which is what makes the boxes come out of alignment.
10:57 am
ChampFit
But I'm clueless about Macs.
10:58 am

Which browser are you using?

If the monkeys were actually real, instead of a fig newton of y'all's imagination, you could send them to the wood shed

Hey, if you can imagine the monkeys, you can imagine the wood shed too : D

Black Lives Matter isn't the answer to the question "which lives matter?", it is the answer to the question "do Black lives matter, or not?" Of course all lives matter, but not until Black lives matter.
1:20 pm
bojazz
Agree, Dan
1:22 pm
MollyL
In my humble opinion, black lives matter emphasizes the black vs white agenda. I prefer to think of it as "us" instead of separate thoughts. We don't come together as an "us" if it is constantly about black or white or hispanic or any other race.

I got it, just took the \n out. And I appreciate the sentiment. Personally, I don't think that only black lives are in danger. I know first hand about discrimination and brutality against other races.

I truly hope this becomes an ongoing movement. Not just something that crops up when something awful gets caught on video. Because awful things like the George Floyd incident happen all the time and to people of several ethnic origins.

I agree Carla. The police have a very hard job. And the good ones end up taking a lot of crap for what the bad ones do.
1:48 pm

yeah the chief problem seems to be this whole "we stand with each other no matter what" attitude. if the good ones wouldn't defend the bad ones no matter what they do, that would help.

Ranch in Spanish is more known as Hacienda, whereas the other word is more for a rural holiday spot. At least in Europe.

there's also a la6 that is another word for lasso and apparently you can make it past tense like it's a verb. I guess same as lassoed, which we had the other day.
