hokie carla

yeah, baby

7:41 am

hokie carla

*cue someone saying they don't know who that is

7:41 am

MollyL

And I would bet 100 loonies that Nan doesn't know who Barry White is.

7:41 am

hokie carla

yeah, because he didn't make music per her definition

7:42 am

BzznBea

Is gas back t normal around you all?

7:43 am

hokie carla

seems to be at most of the stations around me with a few pumps out here and there

7:44 am

hokie carla

how about there?

7:44 am

Uneaixoise

Plenty of gas at my usual station here in Nashvegas

7:45 am

BzznBea

We filled both cars on Monday. Back to normal here, as well.

7:45 am

hokie carla

did you all run out, une? NC was like 75% out across the whole state.

7:46 am

Uneaixoise

No, hasn't been a big prob here......maybe more so in East TN

7:46 am

hokie carla

not seeing the a's today, bea

7:48 am

hokie carla

most of my family is in NETN. I think they had some run out.

7:48 am

BzznBea

I'm missing three A's from the top row.

7:48 am

hokie carla

2 + 4 on top, 2 + 1 lower

7:50 am

hokie carla

well, the tiny pasta is accepted

7:50 am

Uneaixoise

Yes!

7:51 am

hokie carla

proving my theory they accept the ones with tiles you need words for in scrabble

7:55 am

MollyL

Well, just in case, keep your plastic trash bags and Tupperware handy.
: D

7:59 am

mael

that friendly japanese tree spirit is in the grid today :)

8:00 am

hokie carla

hmm, not sure I know that one

8:00 am

mael

totoro, it's a wonderful miyazaki movie

8:00 am

hokie carla

ah

8:00 am

hokie carla

glad it's friendly

8:01 am

mael

I'd hazard a guess that if tree sprits were a thing they'd mostly be friendly anyway, like the Lorax

8:01 am

hokie carla

isn't japan the place with a suicide forest

8:02 am

mael

it is, but less because of the forest and more because of societal issues with suicide

8:02 am

hokie carla

so you're saying it's not because of unfriendly tree spirits

8:03 am

phaeton

hello...Y stats pls

ty

8:04 am

Shirlockc

have you see graveyard of the fireflies Jeff7? that was a box of tissues weeper

8:05 am

mael

grave of the fireflies is one of the most brutally beautiful movies ever made, period

8:05 am

mael

doesn't matter that it's an anime

8:05 am

Shirlockc

*truth

8:06 am

mael

my father, at the time a stoic 75 year old italian man, cried while watching it.

8:07 am

mael

I don't think I could handle watching it again while my kids are about the age of the kids in the movie, it would break me

8:08 am

hokie carla

I have not seen it nor know what it's about, but mr. homie had trouble watching Slumdog Millionaire because the brothers in the flashbacks were about the same age as our boys, so I get it.

8:09 am

mael

it's about WW2

8:09 am

Shirlockc

post WW2 in japan

8:09 am

MollyL

<---Not an anime fan

8:10 am

mael

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grave_of\n_the_Fireflies

8:10 am

mael

this is beyond anime

8:10 am

Shirlockc

don't think of it as amine, mollyL, think of it as storytelling

8:11 am

mael

sorry about the scrolling, I forgot about urls and stretching

8:12 am

Shirlockc

and fair warning, have that BOX of tissues ready if you're going to wwatch this one

8:12 am

hokie carla

yeah, I'm not big on cry fests. I cry at many things that no one else would ever bat an eye, so I try to stay away.

8:15 am

Shirlockc

first 10 min of pixar's UP -- and i was in a theatre too, no tissues

8:15 am

BzznBea

41 left after first pass..

8:15 am

Shirlockc

i meant, i needed tissues for the first 10 mins of UP

8:15 am

BzznBea

Need to move a bit or I'll be in pain all day.

8:15 am

hokie carla

nice, bea. still 62 here and I'm basically finished with first pass.

8:16 am

hokie carla

Up is my least favorite Pixar movie. only watched it once.

8:16 am

hokie carla

and yes, isn't the first 10 min when they go through his whole life with his wife?

8:17 am

Jeff7

mael-I periodically watch Grave of the Fireflies but haven't in a while. It's the best anti war movie ever made IMO. Devastating to watch. There was also a live action version as well

8:17 am

Shirlockc

millenium actress was a "happier" anime, also a good one

8:18 am

Shirlockc

there's a live action version of GoFF? i don't think i can do it

8:18 am

Jeff7

I saw Millenium Actress at the Japan Society in NYC with a talk afterwards with the director. Another great one.

8:18 am

mael

I don't think I could handle the live action version either. Looks like they've made two

8:19 am

mael

and I agree, it is certainly the best anti-war movie I've ever seen

8:19 am

Jeff7

Search youtube for Drinks with a Director: Grave of the Fireflies

8:21 am

mael

found it, I'll watch it when I have a half hour. Thank you!

8:23 am

zoozzoom

8 & 9 are easy to find today!

8:23 am

hokie carla

nice when that happens!

8:31 am

hokie carla

found a babblet I've been missing a lot lately!

8:34 am

MollyL

I'm not sure why that is
"beyond anime" but it looks
like anime to me

8:34 am

hokie carla

I think they are saying it transcends the genre and it's just amazing filmmaking

8:35 am

mael

meaning that it's not "just" anime, though that's reductive in and of itself. Cartoons are just a medium, not a genre

8:36 am

penquis

There is also a difference between manga and anime….just don’t ask me to explain it…..hello all….

8:37 am

mael

manga is just the written form, it's comic books

8:37 am

mael

essentially anime = cartoons and manga = comics, we have the same distinction in english

8:38 am

mael

of course in English we pretend that there's comic books and then there's "graphic novels," but again. It's all just a medium not a genre

8:39 am

penquis

And to most of us non afficionados, animated manga are viewed as all there is to anime….going back to lurking now….

8:39 am

hokie carla

hi pen!

8:40 am

penquis

*waving*…

8:40 am

mael

it's true for cartoons too! It's easy to reduce them to kid junk :)

8:41 am

MollyL

It could be a really great, moving story. It is the
big-eyed cartoon characters that put me off.
I'm fine with others who enjoy it.

8:42 am

hokie carla

I need to get back to the Animaniacs reboot. only watched one episode.

8:43 am

hokie carla

alright, I need to get busy. 55 left for later.

8:45 am

9:11 am

cybernan

9:12 am

gramma

definition?

9:12 am

cybernan

9:13 am

BzznBea

It starts like stress and ends with New York C***

9:13 am

gramma

Ahh, ty.

9:13 am

cybernan

* then swap out the first letter

9:13 am

MollyL

I love it when a word gets the red squiggle/it's not a word line when you type it in and stupid old Enable accepts it.

9:21 am

cybernan

down to 50 but it's like looking for needles in a haystack now

9:28 am

11:51 am

bichon

I'm planting tomatos today, in compost

11:51 am

hokie carla

nice

11:52 am

hokie carla

we have not planted anything this year.

11:52 am

hokie carla

last year I had 3 tomato plants come back on their own, but haven't seen any this year.

11:53 am

bichon

I'm happy to get the tomatos in. Got a couple for free from the public library

11:54 am

hokie carla

my planters have a lot of weeds in them, so I'm good at growing those

11:54 am

hokie carla

one looks like a small evergreen tree

11:54 am

bichon

I've had tomato plants come up in my compost. Volunteers. Buty they are throwbacks

11:55 am

hokie carla

and I pulled up a ton of maple trees all over

11:55 am

moolingwa

hey hoke

11:55 am

bichon

The never ending task

11:55 am

hokie carla

I almost called them volunteers but wasn't sure if that was appalachian english or not :D

11:55 am

hokie carla

moo!

11:55 am

moolingwa

I have aspens....

11:56 am

hokie carla

we have a LOT of wild blackberry plants, tons of little green turning red blackberries right now

11:56 am

moolingwa

happy thursday hoke

11:56 am

hokie carla

thanks, you too

11:56 am

moolingwa

yeah, I used to have wild raspberry when I lived in PA

11:56 am

bichon

That's what they call them in New England

11:57 am

hokie carla

the blackberry seems to spread like kudzu or bamboo here

11:57 am

hokie carla

mr. homie always thinks it's poison ivy

11:57 am

moolingwa

it's a conspiracy of plantses

11:57 am

moolingwa

do you note the thorns?

11:58 am

hokie carla

yes, that's what I tell him!

11:58 am

hokie carla

and I guess that's why it spreads, I'm not pulling those up when I see them unless I'm wearing gloves

12:00 pm

moolingwa

yeah, armor plated glovs

12:01 pm

hokie carla

one day he called me down to the front flower bed to check something and I told him it was false strawberry, I had seen the actual berries on it before. that's hard to get rid of too. but I still had to google it and show him a pic before he believed me. I guess if you get bad reactions to poison ivy you can never be too careful.

12:02 pm

moolingwa

those fake strawberries getting your hopes up

12:02 pm

hokie carla

true

12:03 pm

moolingwa

squirrels ate my strawberry plants

12:05 pm

hokie carla

squirrels eat the baby peaches here every year before they get ripe. the peach tree is in a planter on the deck. there's only a few on there right now and they are almost golf ball size. I'm sure they will be gone soon.

12:05 pm

hokie carla

I covered the strawberry plants with bird netting but of course they still got those too.

Darn squirrels ate every one of my clementines in January. And the tree was loaded.

12:06 pm

hokie carla

squirrels are the worst

12:06 pm

moolingwa

didn't know they went for citrus too

12:07 pm

hokie carla

I think they go for anything

12:07 pm

hokie carla

I've never been able to grow zucchini or yellow squash because they love the blossoms

12:08 pm

origami

They do leave the kumquats alone. I don't have a problem with them getting the vegetables, but have to put toile over the tomatoes because the rats get them.

12:08 pm

hokie carla

only 2 things I've successfully grown on the deck without squirrel interference is tomatoes and banana peppers

12:08 pm

moolingwa

racoons took my corn

12:08 pm

joym999

Good morning everyone. I just found the 8 letter word without looking at the chat. That's a first for me. I feel like a 5 year old who just tied her shoes herself for the first time.

12:08 pm

moolingwa

nice one joy :)

12:08 pm

hokie carla

yay joy!

12:08 pm

joym999

And the 9!

12:09 pm

moolingwa

12:09 pm

moolingwa

I know the feeling tho

12:10 pm

hokie carla

we tried watermelons and cantaloupes down by the pool one summer and something kept stealing them. put my trail cam there and it was a big fat possum! have never seen raccoons here thank goodness.

12:10 pm

origami

Possums are voracious!

12:10 pm

moolingwa

We had a racoon with a PVC pipe stuck round it's neck, ended up trapping it and taking it to the local wildlife refuge

12:11 pm

moolingwa

We have a bunch of racoons, and a couple of skunks...have had one prairie dog too, but it was just passing through

12:11 pm

joym999

I live in the city and we have raccoons in the back yard. They're always digging holes, looking for grubs, and they've destroyed some plants. We also have coyotes and someone just spotted a mountain lion, both in a local park about a mile away.

12:11 pm

hokie carla

eek on the mountain lion!

12:12 pm

hokie carla

we have quite a few deer and coyotes

12:12 pm

moolingwa

Yeah, we've had mountain lions, black bears, coyotes...not in my yard, but in the neighborhood

12:12 pm

moolingwa

Bobcats too, not that I've seen those

12:12 pm

bichon

Long ago, different house, we grew corn. Had to plant pumpkins between the rows

12:12 pm

origami

We have quite a few coyotes in Sacramento, and the occasional mountain lion and black bear on the outskirts.

12:12 pm

hokie carla

yeah, that's a big nope on me living places like that

12:12 pm

moolingwa

I used to live in Davis

12:13 pm

joym999

There was another mountain lion in the city last year, wandering around the financial district. There was a lot of video of it because it wandered into the parking lot of ABC news.

12:13 pm

hokie carla

we have bobcats here too, have seen a pic someone got nearby

12:13 pm

origami

Me too, moo

12:14 pm

hokie carla

last year and the year or so before there was a black bear roaming around here, which is very odd. one of my friends saw a pic of it roaming around her office building.

12:14 pm

joym999

I was just in Sacramento. I've got family in Citrus Heights. Got any good restaurant recommendations in that area? I'm trying to get my family to branch out from the one Thai restaurant they eat at every week.

12:15 pm

joym999

Black bears, yikes.

12:15 pm

hokie carla

not as bad as grizzlies at least :D

12:15 pm

origami

Allora is a good restaurant, joy. There's also the Zinfandel Grill.

12:16 pm

joym999

Didn't Betsy Devos say that teachers need to have guns to protect them from grizzlies?

12:17 pm

origami

That wouldn't surprise me, joy.

12:17 pm

hokie carla

omg, one day mr. homie and I were getting in the car to go somewhere and he was like, jump in the back! so I did, and there was an animal roaming around our garage and driveway that looked just like a coyote. he grabbed a broom to protect himself and was telling it to scram but it wouldn't.

12:17 pm

hokie carla

finally he tells it to sit which it promptly did. found out it is a neighbor's dog! LOL

12:17 pm

joym999

Thanks, origami, I'll look them up. Now that I can visit them regularly I need more good food sources.

12:18 pm

hokie carla

they said they are worried someone will shoot it thinking it is a coyote.

12:18 pm

joym999

I've heard from the local dog owners that some of them have made friends with the coyotes that live in the park.

12:19 pm

hokie carla

speaking of dogs, I am walking Winston to the vet. guess I should get ready. TTFN! still 53 words left.

starts with the spanish word and then add 2 letters for the AR6, then another letter for the AR7
