9:43 am

penquis

sorry...slow response....

9:44 am

penquis

yes, very pricey....my mother used to make lobster stew every Christmas Eve....

9:46 am

cybernan

I wouldn't mind so much if we could get decent sized lobster, but the largest ones they ever get in here are 1-1/2 pounders and so much of it is shell

9:46 am

penquis

well i guess we are lucky we can get it....

9:47 am

penquis

i did not buy our lobster, so I don't know how much it was or how large the lobsters were....

9:50 am

cybernan

can you buy it right off the boats?

9:53 am

penquis

i can here in the summer....not now....we do have a fish market here in town....

9:55 am

cybernan

yes - tht is where we get ours (Codfather's) but by the time they tack the air freight and middleman charges on it gets awfully pricy

9:56 am

penquis

yes, i am sure....but it's been pricey here as well even when there is no shipping involved....

10:02 am

MollyL

Lobster stew and lobster rolls for Christmas Eve sounds heavenly.

10:08 am

72 Temple Owl

mkg: I do not go straight for the longer words. i find more often than not that they derive from the shorter ones.

4:00 pm

72 Temple Owl

so looking for obvious words is a path to many of the longer ones.

4:15 pm

mkg

owl, i have already gotten over 100 words and dont see any to add on to. so any clues would be appreciated.

4:15 pm

the picnic pests is a 4 right? or is there a 7? i am confused jane

7:57 pm

Sophie512

We all got together in N Carolina for Thanksgiving. I didn't have to pay anything..... what a great early Christmas present, everyone together in a house in the Smokies, with nooooooo internet

7:57 pm

hokie carla

Bryson City?

7:57 pm

grannyrose

excuse my ignorance as geography was never my forte. Charleston is how far from Nashville.

7:59 pm

Sophie512

close to Banner Elk in North Carolina

7:59 pm

Sophie512

the drive was about 4 to 5 hours for each of us....I fly, so it's an hour from Nashville to Charleston for me...about 9 to 10 hours driving

8:00 pm

hokie carla

ah. we have thought twice in the last 3 years we might want to move there and then visited and decided we wouldn't like to.

8:00 pm

Sophie512

move where?

8:01 pm

Sophie512

Nashville or Charleston

8:01 pm

hokie carla

granny, no need to apologize for geography questions - you live in another country. I struggle with US geography and I live here.

8:01 pm

hokie carla

move to Banner Elk

8:01 pm

hokie carla

or Beech Mt

8:03 pm

grannyrose

thanx Carla. i'm pretty good with Aussie stuff as we have done a lot of traveling around this big island. also Europe, and the UK. been there twice. still haven't seen all i want to see.

8:03 pm

Sophie512

The Nashville fam is going to Beech Mt for their big Christmas present....... I will stay at their house, take my dog, keep their 2,,,,, fine with me, don't think I'm going to learn to snow ski at my age :)

8:04 pm

hokie carla

I hope there's snow for them.

8:04 pm

Sophie512

Ok, going to go zap something for supper. Night all. Enjoyed the game and conversation tonight! God Bless.

8:05 pm

hokie carla

I skied a few times at Sugar Mt. and Beech Mt. when I was a teenager. Grew up a couple of hours north.

8:06 pm

hokie carla

good night!

8:07 pm

hokie carla

granny, I have only been to Canada, Mex, & some Caribbean. would love to see Australia if it didn't take so long to get there and there weren't so many poisonous critters. 😁 Would love to see parts of Europe.

8:09 pm

grannyrose

enjoy your evening Sophie. will you be back for the flip?

8:11 pm

grannyrose

Carla, i so wanted to come see the USA. but my health has been on a steady decline for some years. my mobility has almost completely gone. but i am back in the hot water pool, exercising, and slowly improving again. i am hoping a few more weeks and i will tolerate the gym agan.

8:12 pm

hokie carla

I'm sorry to hear that. my mom is having mobility issues too. I know it's tough.

8:13 pm

grannyrose

my pain doc says he has never met anyone so stubborn when it comes to my pain issues. he has to squeeze details out of me.

8:16 pm

hokie carla

well, squeezing details sounds painful too 😜

8:18 pm

grannyrose

lol...

8:19 pm

grannyrose

my hubby is, of course, my carer. he comes into consults with me, and i often catch the doc and him exchanging glances. lol....

8:21 pm

hokie carla

that's good you have him to help

8:23 pm

grannyrose

this may sound strange but i can only describe it as that he has a mother's heart. very nurturing. not saying men aren't nurturing. but there is a gentleness and forethought too in a mother's heart.

8:23 pm

hokie carla

that's sweet

8:32 pm

harpjane
