Buddy

8:20 am

rururocks

buddy is doing great here.. we're having so much fun together. He's such a perfect dog in many ways

8:22 am

welki

i'd bet that all the dogs you've cared for take one step into your home and just sigh, one long exhaled breath of relief

8:23 am

rururocks

I think he's doing that now.. but not at first.. he felt abandoned with me I think at first.

8:24 am

rururocks

he does have a cushy life here .. :D

8:25 am

welki

confused, for sure. don't know anything about his past, but they all come with baggage

8:28 am

rururocks

he loved the woman who saved him and he lived with for two years... but I now sense he's really bonding to me. Everything with him is positive and calm. he's a dream dog

8:29 am

hokie carla

well I guess I know now why I can't find the q's

8:29 am

hokie carla

8:35 am

hokie carla

duh, thanks vioxx. wasn't expecting that

8:35 am

rururocks

it's way too easy for me to bond with animals.. i fall in love with them far too easily

8:35 am

bichon

tyvm Vioxx

8:36 am

hokie carla

TIL that is the singular and the plural is a 12 letter word

8:36 am

bichon

We've fostered Bichons

8:36 am

welki

that's why we've never fostered, ru. i don't know how my daughter gives them up, but she is involved in the adoption process, so she has some control.

8:36 am

rururocks

more will than either of us I guess

8:37 am

rururocks

it's so rewarding but impossible for me to do

8:37 am

MLFAN17

phantom spectator

8:37 am

car.eeyore

special love and prayers to everyone who fosters or rescues our furry friends <3

8:50 am

welki

i'm with you, car

8:53 am

rururocks

it's hard to lose the ones you have saved. I did everything I could for my foster.. but her infection got the best of her anyway. I extended her life by 2 & 1/2 years. so I was proud of that she would have died within months without me

8:57 am

hurshy

10:10 am

hurshy

so one of those has the other 8

10:10 am

BzznBea

I'm missing the other 8 as well.

10:10 am

cybernan

can't figure out why if we have a qu 8 there isn't a corresponding oc 7

10:11 am

HarryHood

that would take a really good poet

10:12 am

cybernan

missing an 8, 9 and 7 x3

10:12 am

HarryHood

does it have to do with bones?

10:14 am

hurshy

no

10:14 am

BzznBea

no. French for speakers

10:14 am

cybernan

or whales?

10:14 am

hurshy

no

10:15 am

hurshy

women who give speeches, specifically

10:15 am

hurshy

think of Keanu Reeves' most famous movie and then think how you would plural that, and then put that on the speaking beginning

10:16 am

HarryHood

bill and ted's excellent adventure!

10:16 am

hurshy

lol

10:16 am

hurshy

10:17 am

hurshy

10:17 am

MollyL

I'm still back on Hurshy getting that on her first try

10:18 am

cybernan

bill and ted ? keanu reeves? sorry - I'm out of the loop there

10:18 am

cybernan

got it though

10:18 am

cybernan

wonder why there isn't a singular?

10:18 am

MollyL

Nan, start like speaker, end like a plural of the grain served with Chinese food. I'm sure you'll get it on your first try...not
: D

10:19 am

hurshy

there is, the singular ends with X

10:19 am

MollyL

The singular ends in x

10:19 am

BzznBea

Because it's not English.

10:20 am

BzznBea

I try tada every time.

10:20 am

hurshy

me too

10:20 am

aslindy

10:22 am

hokie carla

10:22 am

MollyL

Everyone wants to be Peri

10:22 am

BzznBea

Do you call an empty wrapping paper roll a tada tube?

10:23 am

aslindy

the surest way to find a word on your own is to ask for a clue.

10:23 am

hokie carla

well that was my missing D, thanks

10:24 am

MollyL

No Bea, I call it trash
: D

10:24 am

10:27 am

HarryHood

10:28 am

BzznBea

When do you moce?

10:28 am

BzznBea

10:28 am

hokie carla

10:28 am

hokie carla

9/21 is the close date

10:28 am

Carla is the only person I know who plays a word game on the computer while doing stuff like that

10:28 am

HarryHood

yes. that's alot of accumulated crap.

10:29 am

hokie carla

well, I jumped on to text someone since I'd rather type it out on my macbook than on my phone.

10:29 am

cybernan

we moved 3 years ago after 28 years in the same house --- still have a couple of boxes of stuff I never use but hate to throw out.

10:29 am

HarryHood

we have a box that has moved with us 4 times already. It says "capuccino machine do not unpack"

10:29 am

MollyL

They have to hurry Bea. They don't want that kid who just went off to college to be able to find them when he gets back.

10:29 am

cybernan

lol harry -- mine is a fruit dryer

10:30 am

HarryHood

thats even worse nan

10:30 am

BzznBea

How is Hokie 4 doing?

10:31 am

hokie carla

my mom has been in her house since 1973. her basement is a receptacle for everyone's stuff. thinking about taking a big box back to her so mr. homie doesn't make me get rid of it. it's mine & my brother's old fisher price toys.

10:31 am

cybernan

at some point I had visions of myself making fruit chips all summer for winter snacks --- never happened :D

10:31 am

hurshy

sell it

10:31 am

hokie carla

he is doing good I think, bea

10:31 am

hokie carla

I might sell it but I have my whole barbie collection to sell first. ebaying is time consuming.

10:32 am

hurshy

i meant the fruit dryer and/or cappucino machine

10:32 am

MollyL

What are you keeping the FIsher Price toys for?

10:32 am

hurshy

didn't occur to me that people would pay for old fisher price toys lol

10:32 am

BzznBea

IN good shape, they are worth a lot.

10:33 am

breakfast before the last 25 - back in a bit

10:33 am

HarryHood

10 to go!

10:33 am

hokie carla

LOL, I feel confident I can get some $$ for old FP toys

10:33 am

hokie carla

because I have trouble with sentimental items, molly

10:33 am

I'd buy the bee that you pull and its wings whirl

10:33 am

hurshy

in my parents' basement, there is a melodica. nobody in our family has ever used it for more than a passing few moments when we were kids. but recently when a musician friend was looking for a melodica, my mom wouldn't let me give it to him, on the grounds that - and i quote - "it's mine".

10:33 am

BzznBea

I'm the same way, Carla.

10:34 am

HarryHood

I had to google "melodica"

10:34 am

hurshy

here was me, all excited that someone might actually get some use out of the thing

10:35 am

hurshy

anybody found that non-q 8 yet?

10:35 am

MollyL

I am looking at Fisher Price toys on eBay now and none of them are getting high dollars

10:35 am

hokie carla

my mom went to a 2 room school and has some desks from the school in her basement and she was like, maybe I'll just get throw those away. gasp!

10:36 am

hokie carla

then I guess it's off to my mom's basement with the FP toys!

10:36 am

cybernan

I donated all my kids' FP toys that were still in good shape to the local kindergarten.

10:36 am

HarryHood

"aircat" - when my pet wakes me up at 5 am and I toss him off the bed.

10:36 am

I had to google search it too Harry

10:36 am

good call nan

10:37 am

harry, doesn't he just come back and do it again?

10:37 am

HarryHood

yes absolutely.

10:38 am

Lots of bees on eBay for Bea

10:38 am

10:38 am

hokie carla

I am giving the boys' less vintage FP toys to mr. homie's sister in FL for her coming grandbaby.

10:38 am

cybernan

lol - don't know about that - my son gave me a hard time when he took his daughter to kindergarten and found his airplane and garage there.

10:38 am

hurshy

and then when i come out later she's sitting there on the little bench in the hallway giving me the "do you still love me?" look

10:38 am

HarryHood

that's really funny nan

10:39 am

HarryHood

generally when he gets really pushy it's time to feed him anyway.

10:40 am

HarryHood

I'm going to list my last 10. too much to do this afternoon.

10:40 am

hurshy

for all interested parties, that other 8 is a C

10:41 am

BzznBea

Is it a compound word?

10:41 am

hurshy

dunno, i haven't FOUND it, just got the list

10:41 am

hokie carla

I did send a gajillion Lego bricks to Lego Replay, which cleans them and gives them to a kids org

10:42 am

aslindy

clue for ar6 please?

10:42 am

hokie carla

which C?

10:42 am

MollyL

I remember one year when my kids were little and we didn't have much money. I went to a yard sale in a rich neighborhood and found all kinds of Fisher Price toys that looked barely played with. It was a God send.

10:42 am

hurshy

it is a ca8 from the right-hand C, and there is a 7 before it so hopefully they go together

10:43 am

MollyL

You must get a great tax receipt for donating a gajllion Lego bricks.

10:43 am

penquis

hah....found that 7/8....compound....

10:44 am

penquis

not one in the dictionary, though...

10:44 am

hurshy

it's not catca4, sadly

10:44 am

HarryHood

just got them too. funny

10:44 am

hokie carla

a place for cats to eat and get coffee?

10:44 am

hurshy

oho, just swap two letters!

10:44 am

HarryHood

but hurshy was just talking about it

10:45 am

hurshy

no, a cat ca4 is a place for humans to eat and get coffee while cats wander about

10:45 am

hokie carla

yep, just found it too

10:45 am

hokie carla

I would never ever go to a place like that

10:46 am

hokie carla

so what's the other 9?

10:46 am

BzznBea

ar6 is ar + St. ***k = vowel

10:46 am

BzznBea

10:47 am

just called the ABC store to see if they still give out boxes and the guy said they haven't been getting deliveries and have to keep the few they have for themselves. is there a liquor shortage too?

10:51 am

Trucker shortage

10:51 am

I really don't understand the conflicting news reports. On the one hand, you hear about all these people who are out of work. Then, you hear about a truck driver shortage and how the housing market is booming. Where is all the money for new houses coming from if so many people are out of work? And if so many people are out of work, why aren't people lining up to apply for their CDC and drive trucks?

10:56 am

hokie carla

funny, mr. homie just said there's shortages of everything but the media isn't talking about it

10:57 am

ItalianGreyhound

there are some strange shortages - My business uses a lot of aluminum - our suppliers have moved to 6 month lead times!

10:57 am

ItalianGreyhound

thats up from 12 weeks normally

10:58 am

hokie carla

there's a shingles shortage too

10:58 am

took my car to the shop today and the lots are maybe half full

10:58 am

yeah, they just said the part my car needs to stop this squeaking noise is on backorder and they have no idea when they'll get any, but luckily it's not a safety issue.

11:15 am

MollyL

Oh no, are you that woman that goes into a car repair shop and says "My car is making a noise like this "eeeeeeiiiiawwwwww"

11:17 am

MollyL

I saw a whole videotape of people making noises for auto repair guys. It was hilarious. This one guy says "it's going like this: ugga, ugga, ugga, uggga"

11:18 am

BzznBea

Wonder why you can't a have a singular tr7

11:20 am

I did not make the noise, just described it and what conditions triggered it

11:46 am

hurshy

i have an electric teakettle that i didn't use for a long time, and then when i tried to use it, my tea tasted weird. i thought maybe the second batch would be fine because it would have gone away, but no such luck. any suggestions for how to fix this problem?

11:47 am

joym999

did you look inside? is it rusted or is there some kind of gunk on the electrical elements?

11:47 am

welki

maybe the element is corroded, or has mineral deposits on it

it doesn't look weird, so, i'll try knight's link advice

11:57 am

KnightTime

I use that method for my coffee pot - vinegar works wonders. After cleaning with vinegar - rinse well, put a tablespoon of baking soda and fill with boiling water- let set till water cools and rinse well. The baking soda removes odors and brightens the steel.

11:59 am

amelu0218

That's how I do my coffee pot, as well.

12:01 pm

hurshy

mine's mostly glass, not steel

12:01 pm

hurshy

but i'm sure it'll work for either

12:01 pm

KnightTime

the baking soda will not hurt it

12:04 pm

cybernan

ti 6/24 please?

12:06 pm

cybernan

if the pot is glass and the glass is clean maybe it is the water that is making the tea taste funny. A lot of chlorine in the water will do that.

no it's not the water, because my other (identical) kettle that has been in daily use is fine. just, the lid now doesn't like to open so i have to use a knife to pry it open, so i thought i'd get out the other one.

I also like to dunk my biscuits into my tea. Would not like to dunk a biscuit into coffee though.

when you say biscuit though, you mean cookie, right?

1:39 pm

hokie carla

and what is english mustard?

1:40 pm

Tx zoom!

1:40 pm

Chocolate cookies, Rich tea biscuits. Vustard creams etc.

1:41 pm

zoozzoom

Custard*

1:42 pm

vustard sounds a little disgusting 🤣

1:42 pm

Best to google english mustard but a type of condiment like dijon mustard.

1:43 pm

zoozzoom

Talking Heads- Naked. Lovely tune!

1:44 pm

hokie carla

not a huge mustard fan though I will now use it in recipes that call for small amounts

1:44 pm

ai am struggling a bit with this grid today.

1:45 pm

I am not either to be fair. Although I do like dijon mustard on a sausage.

1:45 pm

do you buy powdered?

1:45 pm

zoozzoom

No ready made in jars.

1:46 pm

1:46 pm

only put mustard on a ham sandwich - small amount

1:46 pm

I will put mustard and coke on a ham in a crock pot

thnx - got them both

1:50 pm

zoozzoom

I am not one of these who like to be silly and try and make food as hot [spicy] as possible. a bit pointless. all it does it numb your tongue and ruin the taste of the food. Also you will probably on the toilet for a while after haha!

1:53 pm

hokie carla

my friend has a very high tolerance for spicy, the spicier the better. I learned early not to trust her if I say "is this hot?" because spicy for me and for her are vastly different.

1:54 pm

zoozzoom

Oh Haha! I was going to do a question of what little mint sweet (candy) is in the grid. When in fact it is an actual word.

1:54 pm

zoozzoom

Yes I am kind of the same. I can not tolerate anything too spicy.

1:55 pm

hokie carla

what does the candy start with?

1:55 pm

Those are mints, not candy

1:57 pm

hokie carla

1st col gray!

1:57 pm

hokie carla

you can get non mint flavors that are more candy

1:57 pm

zoozzoom

In fact, Molly, you can get strawberry flavour, Cherry flavour etc.

1:57 pm

zoozzoom

oops did not see your post, Carla.

1:58 pm

hokie carla

I just thought you were reinforcing it 😜

1:58 pm

MollyL

I always get the straight-up mint kind

1:58 pm

MollyL

I think they started as mints and branched out

1:59 pm

zoozzoom

They did indeed.

2:00 pm

hokie carla

now there is a UFO incident with that name

2:01 pm

MollyL

Nope, I was wrong. The original line in 1969 had fruit flavors. They started out named "Refreshing Mints"

2:02 pm

Did not know it was that early!

That has been our weather all summer. Hot all day with afternoon thunderstorms.

2:06 pm

I always say that to my dad when I go round. He lawys says How are you today. I say I am alright..it is everyone else and then I also say it is the same hit just a different ay. to which he agrees haha!

We have not had much of a Summer this year here. Then again what is new!

that stinks, I know it's hard on your dad too.

2:11 pm

hokie carla

although I just realized I don't know what "the same" is

2:14 pm

Same means he can get about in a wheelchair or electric scooter as long as I go with him. He has advanced prostate cancer also has catheter. gall stones, partial heart failure, severe asthma etc

2:14 pm

zoozzoom

He is also a miserable sod although I do not blame him.
