Thinking of places. Like hospitals etc.

7:35 am

hokie carla

7:36 am

hokie carla

hey welki

7:36 am

BzznBea

WOOTWOOT!

7:36 am

hokie carla

🤣 are you my hype man today?

7:36 am

MollyL

Wow, Bea is all charged up today. Extra coffee?

7:37 am

BzznBea

I'm not sure why I am so charged.

7:46 am

hokie carla

isn't johnson's baby shampoo nontear? I guess they call it no tears. whatevs.

7:59 am

MollyL

No More Tears formula

7:59 am

hokie carla

whatevs 🤣

7:59 am

hokie carla

the No More Tears formula is a nontear shampoo

8:00 am

MollyL

Carla, do you talk that way, or just write on the internet that way?

8:01 am

hokie carla

I have been known to say whatevs in real life, yes. but probably not the other stuff you object to.

8:01 am

BzznBea

She has young men. I'm sure she talks that way.

8:02 am

MollyL

My kids would always roll their eyes and say "please don't ever say that again" if I tried to use their slang.

8:02 am

hokie carla

I think my kids don't say whatevs.

8:03 am

BzznBea

My master degreed daughter says "fir" instead of "for". I call her on it every time!

8:04 am

hokie carla

my youngest says things that don't even make sense. I can't think of any examples right now.

8:04 am

hurshy

speaking in a variety of dialects is just fun

8:05 am

hokie carla

I've noticed a few podcasters I listen to say fo-word. what's up with that? where'd the R go?

8:05 am

BzznBea

Carla, how many quilts did you get completed before you packed up?

8:06 am

hokie carla

I think maybe 5, bea. I fell behind a couple of months before I started packing. guess it will have to wait now.

8:07 am

BzznBea

How many do you have left to finish?

8:08 am

hokie carla

I think there were 10 total. plus quite a few blocks for another. what's the little bonnet girl called?

8:08 am

hurshy

how can there be three more Ws???

8:08 am

hokie carla

I also need 3 more w's

8:09 am

BzznBea

I know which three they are...

8:09 am

hurshy

well help us out then bea :D

8:09 am

hokie carla

I'm struggling to get half on all the tiles

8:09 am

BzznBea

nananabooboo

8:09 am

hokie carla

haha

8:09 am

BzznBea

2 7s and an 8

8:09 am

hokie carla

bea is in a mood today 🤣

8:10 am

MollyL

There is a scene between Leslie Odam Jr. and Christian Borle in SMASH where Borle tries to pull off "oh no she diden" and Odam Jr says (with a deadpan face) "please don't ever do that again".

8:10 am

BzznBea

Sunbonnet Sue.

8:10 am

hokie carla

yes!

8:11 am

MollyL

Sorry, Odom Jr.

8:11 am

hokie carla

that was the show with Katharine McPhee? I loved that show and was sad when it was canceled.

8:11 am

BzznBea

My mom loves that block and did 10 or 12 quilts with her in it.

8:12 am

MollyL

I liked it, although I am not a fan of McPhee and it was a total showcase for her

8:12 am

hokie carla

I think there's some of the boy too. what's his name?

8:12 am

BzznBea

Overall Sam.

8:12 am

hokie carla

yes

8:14 am

BzznBea

I've got three quilts I am takiing back to gift. Then another one that my exes great grandma made that I'm giving to my youngest daughter. I also have two small baby doll quilts to take to my youngest granddaughter.

8:14 am

BzznBea

Need to get pics of them and get them bagged today.

8:15 am

hokie carla

I think instead of unpacking my entire sewing room in our temp house I am going to cut all the boys' t-shirts for their t-shirt quilts. I realized when I was moving stuff that that is a lot of extra fabric I'm toting around.

8:15 am

BzznBea

They are monsters.

8:16 am

hurshy

ty bea

8:16 am

BzznBea

yw, hurshy.

8:17 am

hokie carla

of course I never found the w7s and 8 😜

8:17 am

BzznBea

After you get the stabilizer on, they are even heavier.

8:17 am

hokie carla

that's true, but at least will be flatter

8:18 am

hokie carla

I just hope I can find my rotary cutter, rulers, and stablizers without opening every single box.

8:18 am

hurshy

i used morewords

8:18 am

BzznBea

What stabilizer do you usually use on quilts?

8:18 am

hokie carla

one of my cutting mats fell between the cab and bed of mr. homie's pickup truck and I can see it in there but can't get it.

8:19 am

hurshy

ooh found a 9

8:20 am

hokie carla

don't rem. the pellon number but it is ultra lightweight fusible or something

8:20 am

BzznBea

My got to is SF101

8:20 am

BzznBea

Think I have an entire bolt of that.

8:21 am

hokie carla

I think PLF36 I used some because I could buy it at walmart. I did get a bolt of something equivalent to that but called something else.

8:24 am

welki

carla - long tongs, try long tongs to get the mat out (or needle nose pliers, the longest pair of tweezers you have....)

8:25 am

hokie carla

yeah, I think I've had the 101 for something but it's a little heavy for the t-shirt quilt. there's a company online that you can send your shirts to and they make the quilt but I bought their book and use their style. anyhoo, they do not use interfacing and will not make a quilt with shirts that have already been. but I decided to use the interfacing.

8:26 am

hokie carla

yeah, welki, I tried to get it over closer with like a metal L shape ruler thingy. not sure I have anything with grabby ability that long.

8:27 am

welki

if it's not that large a cutting mat, maybe a bit of mounting putty on a ruler, or double side tape - my kind of mission :D

8:28 am

hokie carla

glad I could give you something to think about today 😜

8:28 am

welki

it's a full life

9:37 am

hokie carla

9:38 am

rururocks

noosa I've never heard of either

9:38 am

hokie carla

9:38 am

MLFAN17

9:38 am

hokie carla

9:39 am

hokie carla

9:41 am

BzznBea

Maybe stats will help you. WE7.56 we7.52 and we8.70

9:41 am

as long as it doesn't preempt jeopardy like football and basketball do, I can go along with that

10:34 am

penquis

don't know about Canada....on ESPN here....

10:34 am

rururocks

as long as it overrides curling I"m cool with it too

10:35 am

cybernan

I assume tennis players enjoy watching the game, but to me it is as interesting as watching paint dry

10:35 am

Aloyisius

hi All.. Happy Labor Day

10:36 am

HarryHood

hi aloy!

10:36 am

penquis

i can understand that if you don't play, it could be boring....

10:36 am

cybernan

at least there is some strategy to curling, ru if you would ever bother to learn the intracacies of the game

10:36 am

penquis

hi aloy...

10:37 am

penquis

well, nan, there is a ton of strategy in tennis, too... ;o)

10:39 am

cybernan

I suppose there must be, pen -- just don't see it. I did take tennis lessons once, but could never see the point of running around in the hot sun hitting a ball back and forth until one of us missed.

10:39 am

penquis

it's called sport, nan, lol....

10:39 am

mattygroves

To be fair, any sport sounds ridiculous when you put it like that. My OH is hugely into golf and I don't see the attraction....but he does! It's trying to hit a tiny ball a long way until you get it in a tiny cup...

10:40 am

penquis

true, matty....even the curlers look silly sweeping the ice... ;o)

10:41 am

cybernan

agreed matty - but at least there is a social aspect to golf -- you can visit with your friends while you play

10:41 am

rururocks

and wear hideous clothes too and get away with it

10:41 am

cybernan

urling is mental as well as physical -- a little like chess on ice.

10:41 am

HarryHood

and address the ball: "hello, ball"

10:42 am

mattygroves

Jeff will happily play on his own!

10:42 am

penquis

tennis is quite social, too....and very strategic....

10:42 am

cybernan

sadly, don't have the capability of playing either anymore.

10:42 am

hokie carla

yes, very strategic, esp. doubles

10:42 am

penquis

i am grateful for every day that I can still play tennis...

10:42 am

penquis

agreed, carla...

10:43 am

mattygroves

For that matter, Jeff calls this game 'Kate's silly game'. so different strokes and all that!

10:43 am

mattygroves

I wonder what my missing top T is...

10:44 am

hokie carla

tr4

10:44 am

penquis

or the first tr 5/10....

10:45 am

cybernan

and now that we are all in the PB - what's for breakfast?

10:45 am

hokie carla

10:46 am

rururocks

10:47 am

hokie carla

10:47 am

penquis

10:47 am

HarryHood

10:48 am

hokie carla

yes, but I said the actual word you were looking for 😜

10:48 am

rururocks

that's quite an exit pen

10:48 am

penquis

carla....anyone who knows how to spell Steffi knows her last name... ;o)

10:49 am

hokie carla

10:49 am

Pen, I heard on NPR today that the price of lobster has skyrocketed. A roll can cost upward of $40.
