7:42 am

rururocks

Konichiwa everyone

7:42 am

hokie carla

I don't think that's in the song

7:43 am

BzznBea

Good morning ru and Carla.

7:43 am

BzznBea

A bit early for you, isn't it ru?

7:43 am

hokie carla

morning, bea.

7:44 am

rururocks

yep.. lots to do today won't have much computer time

7:44 am

hokie carla

down to 13 here

7:44 am

MollyL

Yes, but Ru can sing Robyn if he wants. Why he wants I have no idea.

7:45 am

BzznBea

Is it work that is keeping you busy?

7:46 am

rururocks

yes.. this is my busy season such as it is with fires, covid, restaurant closures and limited seating

7:48 am

Judi

Fireworks.

7:49 am

BzznBea

I'm heading to the grocery stores...See you all next time.

7:49 am

MollyL

COVID is already starting to ruin the holidays around here. Halloween is basically a bust. Even the safer mall and parking lot candy give outs are banned.

7:50 am

hokie carla

bye bea.

7:50 am

hokie carla

just saw 3 of my missing words in the chat and still couldn't get them.

7:53 am

MollyL

So, in the recommendations of how to celebrate Halloween, I found this hilarious comment: If screaming will likely occur, greater distancing is advised. The greater the distance, the lower the risk of spreading a respiratory virus.

7:54 am

hokie carla

so don't scare people!

7:54 am

hokie carla

the problem is, little girls scream all the time randomly. I don't get it.

7:56 am

MollyL

I know, I don't get it either. And they do scream randomly. It's weird.

7:56 am

MollyL

It looks like the haunted front yard people in my neighborhood is gearing up, so there will be screaming.

7:57 am

hokie carla

It is weird. we were talking about it recently at my mom's because there are a bunch of little girls that live around her and there was all this screaming. mr. homie said I probably did the same and my mom was like, no.

7:59 am

hokie carla

I have 2 brothers but I also had girl neighbors around my age and we didn't just run around screaming for no reason.

7:59 am

hokie carla

6 left!

8:00 am

MollyL

I blame it on lack of parental control. I would never have gotten away with random screaming when I was six.

8:01 am

hokie carla

maybe, but why do the girls want to run around screaming randomly?

8:04 am

hokie carla

1 upper A, 1 D, 2 L, 2 V. all 4s and 5s.

8:05 am

bichon

I grew up in the age of spanking. That's what would have happened to me

8:07 am

hokie carla

ooh, there's an L

8:08 am

hokie carla

my brothers would claim I never got a spanking but my parents did spankings

8:08 am

rururocks

I'd have gone for spankings over what I got

8:10 am

hokie carla

5 left, going to have to go to the list.

8:12 am

rururocks

6 here and considering the same thing

8:12 am

hokie carla

well, my missing D was easy

8:13 am

MollyL

Drinks in the PB for all the li4 lookers.

8:13 am

hokie carla

and should've got the missing L

8:13 am

hokie carla

I did think of that as soon as I hit enter

8:14 am

MollyL

I have always said it was a good thing I had boys and not girls. The screaming thing made me realize I was right.

8:14 am

rururocks

i'm sure all those boys were a handful too molly

8:14 am

hokie carla

yep

8:15 am

hokie carla

mine were pretty easy (knock on wood)

8:16 am

hokie carla

fireworks! travel day today so I guess I better get busy.

HarryHood

10:14 am

HarryHood

I am making no progress.

10:14 am

hurshy

i don't think it matters, there's community and lots of other -ity words, so it doesn't make you think it should be a long i

10:15 am

HarryHood

you can add -ry to make it a study of numbers, like wizardry

10:16 am

hurshy

10:44 am

hokie carla

Never fear, I’m back!

10:45 am

hokie carla

Oh, she’s already fireworked

10:47 am

moolingwa

morning all

10:49 am

MollyL

Fireworked? It's a verb now? And look, there is Carla's other co-star

10:50 am

moolingwa

well fire and work are both verbs

10:50 am

hokie carla

I’ve turned a noun into a verb a la Enable

10:50 am

hokie carla

Good point, moo

10:50 am

moolingwa

which begs the question, would the right grammar be firedwork

10:51 am

hokie carla

Hmm...

10:52 am

hokie carla

Moo, I made it all the way to 5 today and probably should have found them all, so it should take you no time.

10:52 am

moolingwa

already down to 38

10:53 am

moolingwa

yesterday it took 15 minutes for me to complete it, not that i'm complaining, was a busy day

10:53 am

hokie carla

I think yesterday’s was much harder for me, but I can’t really remember

10:54 am

moolingwa

yeah, it's in the distant past now

10:54 am

hokie carla

All I know is yesterday all my troubles seemed so far away

10:55 am

moolingwa

must be thinking of a different year

10:57 am

moolingwa

10 to go

10:59 am

hokie carla

Did you find the big ones?

10:59 am

moolingwa

yeah

10:59 am

moolingwa

11:00 am

hokie carla

Nicr

11:00 am

hokie carla

11:00 am

hokie carla

We hit a bump

11:01 am

moolingwa

4 to go

11:04 am

MollyL

Now Carla needs a place to hideaway...

11:05 am

hokie carla

Oh, I believe in yesterday

11:05 am

hokie carla

Moo, let us know when you’ve fireworked

11:13 am

moolingwa

had to jump into a call

11:15 am

moolingwa

3 to go...4,6 and 7

11:16 am

moolingwa

2 to go

11:49 am

hokie carla

We stopped at a rest stop for lunch.

11:56 am

Wendrie

was there coffee? I think everyone should get coffee at a rest stop...

11:59 am

hokie carla

We ate in our own kitchen and did not make coffee

12:00 pm

hokie carla

In our traveling home...

12:04 pm

moolingwa

1 to go

12:04 pm

moolingwa

0 to go

12:05 pm

moolingwa

had to work in some calls there, but two in a row relatively easily

12:08 pm

hokie carla

So 0 to go means you’ve fireworked

12:10 pm

moolingwa

yes, I've worked the fire

12:16 pm

hokie carla

Well done

12:22 pm

mael

I've got an L5 left and I can't find it not for love nor money

1:04 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I still have yesterday's grid, even when I refresh

1:05 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I closed nd reopened and Still have yesterday's grid

1:06 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I even logged out and logged in, and it's still stuck

1:07 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Help?

1:07 pm

MollyL

Try a different browser

1:07 pm

Kaplan the Magne

that was my next thought

1:17 pm

Kaplan the Magne

my disk is too full. I can't download another browser

1:19 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I am stuck in yesterday. I guess maybe I can finish it?

1:21 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Oh wow

1:21 pm

hokie carla

Drink heavily?

1:26 pm

MollyL

Sounds like you need some computer clean up

1:28 pm

MollyL

If you are using a Macintosh, this looks like a common Macintosh problem. One of many.

2:14 pm

Wendrie

Kalan -when did you last defrag your hard drive? Or empty your trash? Both of those will free up machine memory space.

2:14 pm

Wendrie

Although the being stuck on yesterday sounds more like a browser isn't actually connecting to the main server.

2:15 pm

Wendrie

We're a Mac family here - thankfully no problems usually.

2:57 pm

EllJay

Cannot find ou 6/21

3:53 pm

MollyL

Try a hard refresh. For Mac that is SHIFT + RELOAD

4:09 pm

welki

kaplan, when you get back here, try clearing your history for the past day or so. don't know if you're using mac or windows, but it may be enough to work. i've been using mac (and windows) for 15+ years and have never had anything like that happen to me
