7:16 am

BzznBea

Molly, have you been able to get gas?

7:38 am

MollyL

Yes, and most of the stations around here are okay with no lines

7:44 am

hokie carla

bea!

7:44 am

BzznBea

Carla!

7:45 am

hokie carla

mr. homie just went out in search of gas.

7:45 am

BzznBea

It is supposed to start getting better.

7:45 am

hokie carla

he found one near us that supposedly had it on that gasbuddy website

7:47 am

BzznBea

When I was in Raleigh last week, the places that had it where filled with lawn care companies filling multiple gas cans.

7:47 am

hokie carla

it's still very hard to come by in Charlotte area right now

7:48 am

hokie carla

I saw some pictures of some crazy hoarding going on, not by lawn care companies.

7:49 am

BzznBea

Was one of them a woman filling a plastic shopping bag with gas?

7:49 am

hokie carla

he's back, said he got some but it was really busy there.

7:51 am

hokie carla

I saw one with the back of an SUV full of clear plastic lawn bags full.

7:52 am

BzznBea

That is illegal. I hope they find those people and fine them.

7:53 am

sukee

How stupid do you have to be to put gasoline in plastic bags?

7:54 am

hokie carla

yeah, craziness. I've also seen 2 pics of wrecks/cars burning because of all the gas transported in them

7:55 am

boatierra

There is a popular photo going around of several clear plastic bags, full of fuel, in the trunk of a car. That picture is actually from 2019. But still a really dangerous and bad thing to do. Here is the link:https://nbc-2.com/news/2021/05/12\n/fact-check-viral-twitter-photo-of-pla\nstic-bags-full-of-gas-was-taken-in-201\n9/

7:55 am

hokie carla

pretty stupid. also I saw a tweet where a girl put diesel in her car because that was all that was left and she thought it would just make it louder. it's pretty scary how many stupid people there are.

7:56 am

ItalianGreyhound

Scared people do crazy things

7:56 am

hokie carla

wow, how that link didn't blow up the chat box, I don't know.

7:56 am

sukee

People with hybrids and ecars are laughing.

7:57 am

hokie carla

that is not the same pic I saw, so someone else did it!

7:57 am

hokie carla

well, this girl that used diesel put it in a prius, sukee!

7:57 am

sukee

Yikes

7:57 am

sukee

And she is smart enough to drive? lol

7:58 am

hokie carla

I know!

8:00 am

MollyL

Oh, she is probably not smart enough to drive well.

8:00 am

For a change of discussion, I am learning French through Duolingo. You can use it for free or there is a pay option. I have learned more French in a week and the proper way to use it than years of high school french.

8:00 am

sukee

They have a lot of other languages to learn too, even Irish.

8:01 am

hokie carla

interesting. I have tried a different course and Babbel for Spanish. can read it okay, just can't do conversations. it's so fast.

8:01 am

MollyL

I should really learn some more Gaelic. I will give it a try, thanks.

8:01 am

MotherOwl

I'm giving it a go in Japanese ;)

8:01 am

hokie carla

I will look at that.

8:01 am

sukee

I'm taking it so I can read French, I'm not worried about speaking it :)

8:02 am

hokie carla

I should Scot to up my game here

8:02 am

sukee

Cool MotherOwl

8:02 am

MotherOwl

Oh, yes Spanish people speake WAAAY too fast for us poor learners ;) And if you say "please slow down", they slow down, for about oine whole sentence ;)

8:02 am

MotherOwl

I just love languages <3

8:03 am

hokie carla

mas despacio, por favor

8:03 am

sukee

My problem in French, like it always has been is the gender of the nouns :)

8:04 am

hokie carla

a mom from my son's soccer team offered to help with conversation and the first (and only) time I tried I panicked and froze up.

8:04 am

sukee

I remember when I was in Paris, I was afraid to speak the very little French I knew.

8:05 am

hokie carla

oh, and my dad was fluent in spanish as he was once a spanish teacher, but I never had him help me practice

8:06 am

MotherOwl

I gladly speak a lot of langiúages imperfectly - may be the way to learn, and at least most people try to undeerstand you if you giove it an honest try.

8:06 am

MotherOwl

Oh, why didn't you, Hookie? That was a great opportunity!

8:07 am

hokie carla

I know.

8:09 am

sukee

I'm off for now, gla

8:09 am

hokie carla

adios

8:09 am

sukee

au revoir

8:09 am

But then, I do understand you. My father-in-law is perfect in German, and I do not ask him for help ;)

gooses, g5, mooses, meese <-- from one of donald duck's nephews in an old disney comic, and even funnier now as i just realized it's a duck talking about a goose

8:12 am

MollyL

Oh great, now I am having to look chat words up

8:13 am

hokie carla

really, molly? I just assume farvel is goodbye

8:14 am

MollyL

Yeah, but I wanted to know in what language

8:15 am

hokie carla

danish?

8:15 am

MollyL

Norwegian

8:16 am

MotherOwl

Danish and yes means goodbye, sorry the phone rang

8:16 am

hokie carla

looks like both

8:16 am

MollyL

Weird. Google says Norwegian

8:17 am

MotherOwl

Never trust Google translate ;)

8:17 am

hokie carla

my google said danish but when I scrolled down a few saw some results that said norwegian

8:17 am

BzznBea

I would think MO would know her own language...

8:18 am

MotherOwl

but yes many Norwegian words are the same as the Danish ones, some are spelled a bit differently. I can read Norwegian wiht very littel difficulty. Without ever having learned it.

8:18 am

hokie carla

I need to work on my english. just reread my post.

8:18 am

MollyL

I'm getting that it is both Danish and Norwegian, oh well

8:18 am

MotherOwl

:D

8:20 am

hokie carla

well since MO is from Denmark, I just made an assumption :D

8:20 am

MotherOwl

I need to teach my keyboard proper English it seems ;) It cannot spell properly.

8:20 am

MotherOwl

Sound assumption, Hooie.

8:20 am

MotherOwl

Sound assumption, Hooie.

8:21 am

10:38 am

cybernan

ty again

10:39 am

rururocks

heading to the list.. this grid has beaten me down

10:40 am

cybernan

interesting that we can have topos but no gigios

10:41 am

rururocks

(old ed sullivan reference for the younger players here)

10:41 am

hokie carla

10:43 am

10:48 am

72 Temple Owl

i cannot seem to see any long words...

10:52 am

rururocks

they are very hidden for sure to

10:52 am

72 Temple Owl

good morning

10:52 am

rururocks

good morning to you too

10:53 am

rururocks

boy did I miss a bunch of easy words (smacks head)

10:53 am

72 Temple Owl

oh my, just found a 7

10:54 am

72 Temple Owl

last night i blamed it on the hour and the wine. so plenty left to find

10:55 am

72 Temple Owl

i had a lovely rose at outdoor gathering last night. i ond;t know why people are so anti rose. it was not sweet, just right, and smelled lovely

10:56 am

rururocks

I love dry rose.. drink it all the time

10:58 am

72 Temple Owl

can't describe. to me, just right. when i read wine reviews, they seem to..pretnetious.

10:58 am

72 Temple Owl

this was meiomi.

11:00 am

rururocks

with warm weather Rose is the perfect wine.. goes with everything

11:00 am

72 Temple Owl

i think it's perfect for summer gatherings. the setting was just lovely, bluff ovelooking the delawre. word is leonardo di caprio has a house on the PA side, upriver from erwinna

11:03 am

rururocks

i can never figure out why all these movie stars blow millions on multiple properties all over the world.

11:08 am

rururocks

i guess because they can... most of those homes are vacant for most of the year..

11:09 am

72 Temple Owl

real estate is a good investment. the delaware and bucks county has always been a place for summer homes of the NYC entertainment crowd, especially theatre

11:10 am

cybernan

glad you are still here ru -- son is shooting a commercial in Osoyoos and wants to know if the food at Burrowing Owl is any good -- we could vouch for the wine but haven't eaten there.

11:10 am

72 Temple Owl

lol i always wonder, how can you spend all that money? then i met someone who spent it as soon as he got it.

11:12 am

rururocks

i don't know about the food there. maybe go to a review site.. I do like their Merlot and Pinot Gris.. both delicious and probably some of the best wines of the region

11:13 am

cybernan

ok -- film director and his assisstants were looking to do some wine tasting and lunch on their way back to the airport this morning.

11:14 am

rururocks

have you ever had the Foxglove wines

11:14 am

rururocks

it'd be worth a try.. the owner is really rich and apparently has good taste :D

11:15 am

cybernan

no -- there are so many new wineries in the valley - where are they located?

11:17 am

cybernan

Hubby likes a "meaty" red which is hard to find this far north and I have my favoourite white producers - Sumac Ridge and See Ya Later Ranch

11:17 am

rururocks

sorry Foxtrot .. they are on the naramanta (Sp?) bench

11:17 am

72 Temple Owl

what rose do you recommend now?

11:17 am

cybernan

Naramata -haven't been there in a while

11:18 am

cybernan

haven't been travelling at all for the last year.

11:18 am

rururocks

if you liked the meiomi TO. that does have a touch of residual sugar..

11:20 am

72 Temple Owl

interesting. i did not sense that but do like desserts. can't tolerate tannin. yet it was not as sweet as fruit wines my workmates like.

11:20 am

rururocks

one of my faves is Domaine Fonsainte from France (Corbieres).. it's about $15 bucks.. it's always pretty good and pretty dry. it needs to go with food.

11:21 am

cybernan

Ru which wines do you recommmend from Foxtrot?

11:21 am

72 Temple Owl

that is very reasonable. i remember the lat time you recommended, y this time of year the wine was no longer available. here.

11:24 am

rururocks

the chardonnay and the Pinot Noir nan.. both really really good

11:25 am

cybernan

yes - just looked the winery up on line. I see they make a rose as well

11:25 am

rururocks

all the 2020 Roses are now showing up TO.. importers had to wait for the Trump Tariffs to go away first.

11:25 am

rururocks

I also love a really dry Rose From Domaine Piron a Beaujolais Rose 2020.. (19 is good too) about $14

11:26 am

cybernan

I will have to see if we can find it here -- I see it is a boutique winery, so hopefully is some of the specialty wine shops.

11:26 am

rururocks

it's very delicate and rose petal-y and crisp and refreshing.

11:27 am

rururocks

I'm not sure on the RS for the Meiomi TO.. the Meiomi Pinot has 6-7 gpl of Sugar so I assumed the Rose would have some level of RS

11:28 am

rururocks

i can't seem to find anything about how much sugar yet

11:30 am

cybernan

Wouldn't it be nice if every wine producing area would climb on board with a standard sweetness scale. Ours goes from 00 (chianti) to 10 (ice wine)

11:30 am

rururocks

ah.. i went to their website and it does have RS.. but probably balanced with high acidity so it seemed drier to you TO

11:37 am

Cosmo Kramer

12:03 pm

MLFAN17

12:05 pm

cybernan

mlf - parents won't let you go anywhere or do anything and have all sort of rules -- they are very s6 -- put an a infront of that

12:05 pm

dan2bit

re8 would be to limit or prevent if it were in the grid instead of as7
