Dorens

10:01 am

rururocks

hi Doren

10:01 am

rururocks

I'm really sad I can't come to NYC this year

10:01 am

Dorens

hi

10:02 am

Dorens

me too. But then again, broadway is closed and who knows what will happen with restaurants at this point.

10:02 am

rururocks

i bet museums are closed too no?

10:02 am

Dorens

i'm trying to go with the attitude that i'm grateful for what I have done and seen, rather than bemoan the fact that I can't do any more of it at this point.

10:02 am

hokie carla

edamame not in the dictionary

10:02 am

Dorens

they are opening now. reduced hours, etc

10:03 am

Dorens

nope, carla. as so many real words aren't

10:03 am

hokie carla

ooh, finished the 3rd row d

10:04 am

rururocks

i"m very grateful for what I've seen and I have loved all of it. If i never see another at least I've seen some great ones

10:04 am

Dorens

that's the spirit, ru Book of Mormon and Wicked are high up on the list

10:05 am

hokie carla

never seen a broadway show. well, I only went to NYC once for an overnight work trip, so I really haven't seen anything there.

10:05 am

rururocks

aint too proud is way up there too

10:05 am

rururocks

I think that night with you and Bubbles at Wicked was the best night ever

10:06 am

rururocks

expensive as hell but worth every penny

10:06 am

Dorens

I loved it, but not on the top list. I've seen too many really great ones.. jukebox shows can be lots of fun, but not broadway at its finest (IMHO)

10:07 am

Dorens

yup, that was terrific. Eternally grateful for that one

10:07 am

Dorens

and i still think Estela is my favorite restaurant, tho NoMad was right up there as well. Been back to both of them

10:07 am

rururocks

these m's are impossible

10:07 am

rururocks

Estela is my fave..even over Per Se

10:08 am

hokie carla

I need 1 from the first M and 2 from the bottom row.

10:08 am

origami

I haven't seen a Broadway show, but really look forward to it.

10:08 am

Dorens

Hope you get your chance, ori

10:12 am

hokie carla

10:12 am

Dorens

10:12 am

72 Temple Owl

that's nice. whom did they have?

10:13 am

Dorens

friends in their 50's have a little band. eagles, simon and garfunkle, CSNY stuff. they're pretty good, but certainly not pros

10:14 am

72 Temple Owl

that sounds nice. my friends all seem to have migrated to FL gold coast. no birus and living it up with music.

10:15 am

72 Temple Owl

i saw Low Cut Connie. pure fun. you buy a table and can bring 4 people. or a lawn aquare for four.

10:15 am

Dorens

you thinking of joining them?

10:16 am

72 Temple Owl

yes

10:16 am

72 Temple Owl

i mean, the tie to go it before you are in some nursing home. they are having a ball.

10:16 am

Dorens

radical change. but if all your friends are there, why not?

10:17 am

Dorens

whoops. didn't realize the time. Gotta go- PT time (shoulder again)

10:18 am

72 Temple Owl

have relatives on east coast but at their agaes, not a good bet

10:18 am

72 Temple Owl

sorry to hear your shoulder is acting up. bye

10:19 am

72 Temple Owl

10:53 am

Aussieme

11:02 am

Aussieme

yeah, it is proper, pity though

11:04 am

hurshy

i have this seat that if you get under it, there is a hollow space, there isn't a solid bottom piece at the same level where the outside ends, if you see what i mean. and my cats look so funny when they smush themselves under the edge to go in there, and smush themselves back out again

11:05 am

12:26 pm

hurshy

12:26 pm

MollyL

If it is the one I think it is, it's pretty twisty

12:26 pm

hurshy

rhymes with a dude from the book of genesis that starts with an L

12:27 pm

hokie carla

hmm, just read Genisis when the pandemic started and don't remember.

12:27 pm

hokie carla

TBF, it's not great reading

12:27 pm

hurshy

he was noah's dad

12:28 pm

hokie carla

12:28 pm

MollyL

How do you retain stuff like that?

12:28 pm

moolingwa

12:28 pm

hokie carla

hurshy must have a mind like an elephant.

12:28 pm

hurshy

i love elephants

12:29 pm

MollyL

12 years of Catholic schooling and I never heard of Noah's father

12:29 pm

hokie carla

I also grew up in church and like I said, JUST READ GENESIS a few months ago, and I still don't remember that.

12:29 pm

hokie carla

thanks, moo

12:29 pm

hurshy

well i had to look up who he was, i only remembered his name

12:30 pm

MollyL

Carla, it's probably a one off. Like those passages that say So and so begat so and so, and so and so begat so and so and La6 begat Noah

12:30 pm

hurshy

but apparently his speech to his wives is the only extant example of poetry from before the flood

12:31 pm

hokie carla

yep, and like I said, not good reading. I was doing the bible app, read the bible in a year, and I think I made it through half of Exodus.

12:32 pm

hurshy

too bad our oldest poem is all about revenge... sigh

12:32 pm

hurshy

too bad our oldest poem is all about revenge... sigh

12:32 pm

hurshy

i hate when i accidentally double-hit the enter button

12:33 pm

marksdolly

ironically Hokie, I'm reading thru Genesis now

12:33 pm

moolingwa

Has Peter Gabriel left yet dolly?

12:34 pm

marksdolly

I'm at the point where Joseph is about to meet back up w/his brothers during the famine

12:34 pm

hurshy

we had a musical about that - not the famous one, a more churchy one

12:35 pm

hurshy

down, down, down to canaan
down, down, down...

12:35 pm

hurshy

no, down to egypt. BACK to canaan.

12:35 pm

marksdolly

it has been quite the memory refresher reading thru it again

12:35 pm

hokie carla

LOL, moo

12:36 pm

hokie carla

I do remember that part, dolly

12:36 pm

moolingwa

I may be a little biblical challenged :)

12:36 pm

hokie carla

that was a little more interesting

12:36 pm

marksdolly

lol

12:39 pm

moolingwa

well, down to 19...this should be fun

12:43 pm

marksdolly

olden

12:44 pm

moolingwa

already had that one thanks

12:44 pm

marksdolly

oops hate it when I do that

12:44 pm

marksdolly

I'm sorry

12:44 pm

marksdolly

LOL Mool

12:44 pm

MollyL

<---Has not been reading the Bible during the COVID stuff

12:45 pm

moolingwa

achient...the pain you feel as you get really old

12:45 pm

marksdolly

lol

12:45 pm

marksdolly

12:46 pm

moolingwa

12:46 pm

marksdolly

12:46 pm

moolingwa

10 left

12:47 pm

marksdolly

you're almost there mool!

12:47 pm

moolingwa

well, fours done....still 9 left

12:51 pm

moolingwa

crazy futuristic computers....madmacs

12:51 pm

marksdolly

I like your definitions :)

12:51 pm

moolingwa

tx, it's nice to be appreciated

12:52 pm

moolingwa

balderdash is one of my favorite games

12:52 pm

marksdolly

don't know that I've ever played that one

12:52 pm

moolingwa

basically they give you an obscure word, and you have to come up with a definition

12:53 pm

marksdolly

that could very interesting!

12:53 pm

moolingwa

then if other people pick your definition you get points, dealer gets points if no one gets the right one

12:54 pm

marksdolly

that's be a blast!

12:54 pm

moolingwa

there's a second version that expands categories into dates and other sorts of things like that

12:55 pm

moolingwa

the only drawback is that the official clues have a certain cadence to how they word the definitions, but once you figure that out, you can structure your definitions better

12:55 pm

moolingwa

fun game tho

12:56 pm

marksdolly

you should be really good at clueing here ;)

12:56 pm

moolingwa

Well I tend to try and clue with more lateral or obscure clues...plenty of others to give more literal clues

12:56 pm

moolingwa

doesn't always work of course

12:57 pm

marksdolly

:)

12:57 pm

moolingwa

But can be fun in it's own way

1:00 pm

moolingwa

surprised edamame doesn't work

1:01 pm

marksdolly

it's one of my ghosts, thinking it should be there

1:01 pm

marksdolly

1:03 pm

marksdolly

1:04 pm

moolingwa

1:04 pm

marksdolly

my hubby is from Colorado

1:05 pm

moolingwa

It has snowed in Denver June 2nd, back in 1951 apparently...so it seems September 3rd to June 2nd is the earliest to latest

1:05 pm

moolingwa

Snowed May 21st last year

1:07 pm

MollyL

Wow, how is it that we are in flood state and just a few states over, they could use some rain. Ma Nature is out of whack.

1:07 pm

marksdolly

when we went to Colorado last summer, close to July 4th, there was enough snow on the road going up Estes, that they had bladed, and our granddaughter carved her name in the snow mounds

1:07 pm

moolingwa

Ah, Estes is just 45 mins from me

1:08 pm

marksdolly

great beauty there!

1:08 pm

moolingwa

yeah, like it up there

1:08 pm

moolingwa

The drive from Estes Park to Loveland is interesting, really close to the river there

1:09 pm

marksdolly

Hubby lived in Loveland as a kid

1:10 pm

moolingwa

That's some whacky weather, mool! It's easy to predict here: Forecast from May through mid-October is hot and dry. Little variation.

2:48 pm

hurshy

my dad lived in arizona for a couple of years, and he jokes that the people who do the worst at meteorology school get sent there, because you can't really get that forecast wrong

3:12 pm

moolingwa

Yeah, too hot for me in Arizona...well at least in Phoenix, some other parts not so bad :)

3:23 pm

origami

Thankfully, we're usually not as hot as Arizona.

4:23 pm

Been working most of the day and haven't made a lot of progress here.

6:15 pm

origami

Someone in one of the houses behind me is using a leaf blower and adding tons of dust to the air. Just what we need on top of the smoke.

6:15 pm

penquis

that's awful....

6:17 pm

penquis

Congratulations pen

6:17 pm

6:34 pm

origami

MOLLY are you around? What size does an image need to be in order to not blow up when used for your icon?

6:36 pm

MollyL

350 x 350 pixels

6:37 pm

origami

Thank you. I'm always posting too large an image.

6:38 pm

MollyL

Thank you for understanding the pixels thing. Most don't and they continue to have HUGE icons.

6:48 pm

origami

I wrote it down this time :D

6:56 pm

LuvWordGames

is the da 9 a common word?

7:02 pm

Gillie

Not especially. It's used in reference to fancy knives.

7:02 pm

LuvWordGames

thanks Gillie, I'll ponder on that :-)

7:03 pm

72 Temple Owl

great clue

7:05 pm

origami

I only found that word because I read a book recently where it was used and I had to look it up :D

7:12 pm

penquis

goodnight all....

7:12 pm

Gillie

I guess properly it refers to an inlay technique used in a lot of fancy metalwork, but it's also used to refer to an effect that you see on knife blades.

7:13 pm

Trifioso

how do you make it into the ten? I'm lost....

7:13 pm

penquis

past tense it....

7:13 pm

penquis

really going now, lol....

7:13 pm

Trifioso

fish me....

7:14 pm

Trifioso

i thought it started from the other d....im too tired to babble

7:16 pm

72 Temple Owl

hi trif

7:17 pm

Trifioso

hi! how are you, dear friend?

7:21 pm

72 Temple Owl

i am well- and you?

7:23 pm

Trifioso

new job overwhelm, but adjusting

7:24 pm

72 Temple Owl

ooh, new job! what are you doing?

7:25 pm

Trifioso

teaching eighth grade english at a new (to me) school

7:27 pm

72 Temple Owl

are you live or virtual? or hybrid?

7:29 pm

Trifioso

yes, yes, and yes!!! I for sure am missing a cog in my brain to switch schools in the middle of this, but it was too good a chance to pass up! full remote for two weeks, then hybrid, then who the hell knows?

7:47 pm

72 Temple Owl

wow that makes it very hard

7:47 pm

72 Temple Owl

sorry, i wandered off. i had tv on and they showed my nj hometown, a house near where my brother lives.

7:48 pm

72 Temple Owl

i am apt to wander off these days when i need a break from the grid.

7:48 pm

Trifioso

wow! hope everything is ok

7:49 pm

72 Temple Owl

you mean th tv? all good, it was an episode of "my lottery dream home". They did not choose it.

7:49 pm

Trifioso

oh that is good then, i guess

7:49 pm

72 Temple Owl

i lol'd when i saw the bus with destination my home town!

7:50 pm

72 Temple Owl

time to go, i am binge watching "the Shield" tonight. well, two episodes at most. just beginning season 4

7:51 pm

72 Temple Owl

how is life in philly? lots of strife with wishy washy government.

7:52 pm

Trifioso

secondo LOVES philly. she is very, very happy there. Bummer - every year my new school does a trip to Philly - but not this year

7:53 pm

72 Temple Owl

the mayour is an idiot. you will be hearing a lot of it on the news soon, i fear.

7:53 pm

Trifioso

that is unfortunate. secondo has made it crystal clear that if trump gets in again, she is chucking it all and moving to reland.

7:53 pm

72 Temple Owl

they should have nipped the situation in the bud but let it slide.

7:55 pm

Trifioso

i have 17 words left. haven't been this close to finishing in ages, but not sure i have the brain to muscle on

7:55 pm

72 Temple Owl

well- how can you let a shanty town grow month after month on the street of all tourist attractions so it's become an armed camp?

7:55 pm

Trifioso

true

7:56 pm

72 Temple Owl

nothing to do with president. weak city government. wanting to be everyone's friend scared beacuse the news picked up the ctory of rioters being tear gassed. now they have put the police in th eposition to clean out a fortified camp.

7:57 pm

Trifioso

perhaps he should have addressed the need for a shanty town?

7:58 pm

72 Temple Owl

i know people living in other areas near center city. they are fine.

7:59 pm

Trifioso

seconda lives in center city, i think - about a block behind independence hall?

7:59 pm

72 Temple Owl

perhaps. they claim they have, but there's awlays gentirfication; drug abuse; mental illness. i have been here for so long and i hear the same tired rhetoric over and over

8:00 pm

72 Temple Owl

yes, old city or washington square. or head house sqaure

8:00 pm

72 Temple Owl

lovely. i have friends who live in a high rise on the river. they are living the life!

8:00 pm

Trifioso

hmmm washington square sounds more correct.

8:00 pm

72 Temple Owl

that area is ok.

8:01 pm

Trifioso

of course she wanted rittenhouse square - fat chance!

8:01 pm

72 Temple Owl

lol i hear that!

8:01 pm

Trifioso

the whole thing is a ridiculous win - for less than she was paying for a tiny closet of a room with three other women, she is living in a HUGE one bedroom in a truly lovely building

8:01 pm

72 Temple Owl

i am too old to move though i would like kensington. lots of music

8:02 pm

72 Temple Owl

that's so nice! don't you love that area?

8:02 pm

Trifioso

i love philly. fantastic city

8:02 pm

72 Temple Owl

sorry, i mean fishtown. kensington. god forbid.

8:03 pm

72 Temple Owl

it is. but it is changing. rapidly. there was a huge boom in luxury accomodations. then they could not fill them.

8:04 pm

72 Temple Owl

it's great for college

8:04 pm

Trifioso

i am trying to remember what they call the 'gay area" - something cheeky

8:04 pm

72 Temple Owl

and people don't realize how large it is geopgraphically

8:04 pm

72 Temple Owl

gayborhood

8:05 pm

Trifioso

the food market alone is worth a visit!!! oh, yes, that is it, gayborhood. lol

8:05 pm

72 Temple Owl

great neighborhood

8:05 pm

72 Temple Owl

do you mean reading terminal?

8:06 pm

Trifioso

i think so, yes. so many names to remember!

8:06 pm

72 Temple Owl

did you eat at di nic's? roast pork italian style.

8:07 pm

Trifioso

maybe? we did buy some amazing ribs

8:07 pm

Trifioso

ne

8:07 pm

72 Temple Owl

that is my favorite at that market

8:07 pm

72 Temple Owl

i love getting prodice and meat there. and i love metropolitan bakery. and of course, termini's

8:08 pm

72 Temple Owl

it will be a long time beofre i am back. the radio station has all live events on hold.

8:08 pm

Trifioso

we ate so much there we had to roll outselves back to her place

8:08 pm

Trifioso

oh yes, how did your music festival go?

8:08 pm

72 Temple Owl

hahahah did you save room for Bassett's?

8:09 pm

72 Temple Owl

i so want to go to the victor nafe. right now, they are singing opera from the balcomy every sunday. which beings up the famous italian market. have you been?

8:09 pm

Trifioso

omg that sounds AMAZING!!! I don't think I have, but I sure will!

8:10 pm

72 Temple Owl

it went well.was working up there last night and got the skinny. with the terrible floods that would have put the two most profitable areas out for half the week, i'd say we dodsged a bullet.

8:11 pm

Trifioso

i would agree!

8:11 pm

72 Temple Owl

i saw low cut connie. adam is the best! the show is taped, they've put up 56 shows since the pandemic

8:12 pm

72 Temple Owl

i was there for the last flood. people are stupid, everyone trying to get them to leave and they just stand around looking stupid till you screamed at them;

8:12 pm

Trifioso

lately i have been more than a little disappointed at our species

8:13 pm

72 Temple Owl

i once saw people climb onto a satge on an open field during a violent thunderstorm there to get out of the rain. darwin award candidates.

did you see the adorable video of the baby goat reuniting with its mother? the second best thing on the net. after cats, of course!

i worked the makeshift tv studio with some good bands. indoor restrooms. even if we DID have to sanitize them after each act.

funniest thing - I want to visit my mum at the memory care facility once, and, when I asked her how things were, she threw her arms in the air, rolled her eyes, and said "we don't have ANY WEED!" something she NEVER would have said pre=alzheimers!!!
