hi, Scrabbler - FW, here
6:02 am
Scrabbler

Good for you, IG. I hit the snooze alarm on my phone for 45 minutes then discovered there had been a power outage overnight. All of the digital clocks were flashing.
6:03 am
ItalianGreyhound

Yeeesh! So you are running late?
6:04 am
Scrabbler

No, just less time here.
6:04 am
Scrabbler

I am not a morning person, especially when it is still dark out.

hello
6:54 am
aslindy

just checked my phone, and the temp dropped from 9F to 7F. glad I can stay home today.
7:05 am
saanichcat

wow lindy that's chilly. It's 1C here, just above freezing. Slippery road time.
7:06 am
aslindy

and now it's 3F. I better stop checking.
7:09 am
saanichcat

good plan!
7:09 am
jmcnrick

I wouldn't check temp under those set of facts! haha
7:10 am
aslindy

the sun is just coming up, so hopefully it will start getting warmer
7:13 am
jmcnrick

the sun is hidden behind clouds here but it is always better when you can see the sunshine
7:14 am
aslindy

clouds hold in some heat, so you have to choose - sunshine and cold, or clouds and a little warmer?
7:15 am
jmcnrick

honestly i prefer the sunshine
7:24 am
aslindy

so do I. I'd rather bundle up to stay warm if I can get some sunshine!
7:25 am
jmcnrick

there was one summer that was the worst of all possible weather. constantly cloudy and humid and hot but no rain
7:26 am
aslindy

that sounds gross
7:30 am
saanichcat

hope everyone has some fun today; I'm off now to find some!
7:31 am
jmcnrick

have fun Saan
7:33 am
jmcnrick

It was so depressing and hard to grow a garden.
7:34 am
aslindy

what kinds of things do you grow?
7:37 am
jmcnrick

veggies--lettuce, tomatoes, okra, lima beans and black eyed-peas. and cut a mess of greens from my garden (mustard, collard and turnip) for Christmas dinner.
7:37 am
jmcnrick

I also go herbs like oregano, thyme and bay because I am cheap! hahaha they are so expensive!
7:38 am
jmcnrick

*grow
7:40 am
BzznBea

Herb plants aren't cheap either.
7:41 am
jmcnrick

no but many of them are perennials so once planted I get continuous herbs.
7:43 am
jmcnrick

At one point I had a 30 foot tall bay tree. I sold the leafs (uncertified organic) to raise money for a scholarship fund.
7:44 am
jmcnrick

then one spring we had freeze thaw freeze thaw and the sap rose and then froze and then split the tree in two. I cried. It took me a year before I could bear to cut it down.
7:44 am
aslindy

that's awesome. I tried growing bay several times but it always dies. :( most other herbs I've grown easily, though
7:44 am
jmcnrick

my current bay is only 1 foot tall. They are not fast growing :(
7:45 am
aslindy

yeah, I would have been crushed to lose that, too!
7:46 am
jmcnrick

we are right on the edge or where you can grow bay outside.
7:46 am
aslindy

here, it can only be out in the summer
7:46 am
bichon

We have a blooming bay laurel here in CT

I had a mountain laurel in my yard when I first moved here. It took me several years to kill it (intentionally)
8:19 am

Mine sort of died. Pruned it, and it bloomed the next year

10:29 am

the numbers represent the word stats, so I have 2 4's left, 2 5's, 3 6's, 1 7. the letters are what letters I have left.

People keep telling her that JMC, but she keeps using the hard to understand "code"
10:32 am

hi molls
10:33 am
jmcnrick

structure does make t easier for me to find words which is why i list after a few hours
10:34 am
MollyL

Life is just simpler when people post I have ____ words left
10:34 am
hokie carla

no, people don't. some people understand and use the code too. I see hurshy lurking here.
10:35 am
jmcnrick

each to their own
10:36 am
hokie carla

yes, but even though some of us embrace "the code" we aren't allowed to each their own
10:36 am
mab

it works well as shorthand.
10:37 am
hokie carla

there's a lot of anti-shorthand here. no acronyms, no word counts
10:37 am
hokie carla

no fun
10:38 am

meh we have been using short hand since I first came in the door nbt nbs you can count down your words when you are close
10:39 am

yes. both work, but i like the succinct better. it's consistent and you get it right away.

babble language
10:47 am
jmcnrick

every community has its own language and language, if it is used, is dynamic. It set my mother the English teacher's teeth on edge but loan is no longer solely a noun.
10:49 am
mab

oh yes. in reg. english there are many nouns used as verbs - not wild about them.
10:49 am
jmcnrick

however, language which fails to communicate because it is too colloquial has its own problem. Hokie gave her communication to me and i had no clue what she meant. Just as I would not understand Swahili or Cockney. So I made that clear to her and she explained it.
10:50 am

i.e. gifted - to give someone a present. don't like.

11:36 am
hurshy

yes

11:38 am

nonhip should be a word -- makes as much sense as nonart
11:38 am
penquis

true...
11:39 am
cybernan

missing one p from the top - probably the same as hurshy's
11:40 am
hokie carla

well, I didn't have the ps, thx. now I'm missing one p from the top
11:40 am
penquis

you're doing better than i am....
11:40 am
hokie carla

down to 7
11:40 am
penquis

wow....55 here...
11:41 am

has been fairly easy. the ps is the only one I've had help on.
11:41 am

well, I went to bed with like 29 left
11:41 am

ah....the flip head start....
11:41 am
hokie carla

yep
11:41 am

did that two nights ago, i think....
11:44 am
cybernan

I left 85 behind last night - my problem being I can't remember what I entered way back then :D
11:45 am
penquis

i hear ya....i often retype words when i was at the flip....
11:45 am
cybernan

sort of like the password I created yesterday
11:45 am

LOL...
11:45 am

:oD
11:47 am
penquis

i did pretty well remembering the score in my tennis matches this morning....felt good about that, lol....
11:48 am
hurshy

my only regret about using a password manager is that i didn't start using it sooner, cnan :)
11:48 am
cybernan

I have a manager of sorts -- it's called a little red book :)
11:49 am
penquis

mine is black....with a russian drawing on it....
11:49 am
hurshy

not quite as secure, that
11:50 am
cybernan

do you need a password to get into your passwword manager?
11:50 am
hurshy

got the 10!
11:50 am
hurshy

yes, nan. but that is the only one that i have to remember.
11:51 am
cybernan

the trouble with that is that if anything happens to me the password manager wouldn't help my kids.
11:53 am
hurshy

ok, my biggest problems now are H and A
11:53 am
penquis

there are a lot of Hs...
11:54 am
cybernan

working on the h's now
11:54 am
penquis

12:11 pm
hurshy

oh a STAR TREK word
12:11 pm
hurshy

technically i suppose the dictionary has the college sports meaning and not the star trek meaning but still
12:11 pm
penquis

yes, the Starfleet guys who always get killed... ;o)
12:12 pm
hokie carla

yes, that's what the other trekkies here told me
12:12 pm
windingwake

Obviously it is really for Star Trek, not sports
12:12 pm
hokie carla

I gave the college sports def earlier
12:12 pm
hurshy

well hello winding wake, i am pleased to meet you
12:12 pm
penquis

it is for both....dictionary says it's a character who dies soon after being introduced....
12:13 pm
hurshy

woot, we made it in the dictionary!!!
12:13 pm
penquis

it also refers to a kid who is held back from starting kindergarten for a year...
12:13 pm
hokie carla

I've seen it in other TV show discussions, so it has crept over
12:13 pm
hurshy

yesterday i learned two star trek background facts, one happy and one upsetting (slightly, in a joky way)
12:13 pm
hokie carla

we call them holdbacks
12:14 pm
penquis

what were your facts?
12:14 pm
hurshy

the upsetting one is that James Doohan was canadian, not scottish
12:14 pm
hurshy

waaaah
12:14 pm
penquis

never heard of that word holdbacks...
12:14 pm
hokie carla

both my boys did pre-k instead of K when they could, so I guess they are both re9
12:14 pm
penquis

i actually met him at a convention in Montreal....
12:14 pm
bichon

Really?
12:14 pm
hokie carla

there are a lot of scots in canada
12:15 pm
hurshy

the happy one is that DeForst Kelly wanted to be a doctor for real but couldn't afford medical school, and he said that the thing that made him happiest is when fans would tell him that they became a doctor because of him
12:15 pm
penquis

yes, i had a friend who was a big trek convention person....went to a lot of them in the northeast...
12:15 pm
penquis

nice, hursh....
12:16 pm
hurshy

Doohan was just always good with various accents, and i guess he was the one who suggested they make his character Scottish, because, he said, in his experience, Scotsmen were the best engineers
12:16 pm
bichon

There are Scots and then there's Sam Huegan
12:16 pm
penquis

interesting....
12:16 pm
penquis

don't know him....
12:16 pm
hokie carla

oh bichon, stop. he's handsome Jamie Fraser, pen.
12:17 pm
bichon

Outlander, Red Jamie
12:17 pm
penquis

ah, ok....
12:17 pm
hokie carla

handsome, but still not what I pictured in my mind when I read the books.
12:17 pm
hurshy

don't forget David Tennant
12:17 pm
penquis

my niece said the same thing...
12:17 pm
hurshy

and Pierce Brosnan
12:17 pm
hokie carla

he's irish
12:18 pm
penquis

he's irish, isn't he?
12:18 pm
hurshy

oh, yes, i see that, i could have sworn i heard him said something about growing up in a scottish city
12:18 pm
hurshy

but maybe that was a character he was playing
12:19 pm
hurshy

but there's still Sean Connery to mention
12:19 pm
hokie carla

did we ever find that last A or P?
12:19 pm

Pleased to meet you too, hurshy. I pop in and out so just saw you say hi. =)
12:19 pm

i used to play tennis with a young scottish man....i could listen to him talk all day....
12:20 pm

12:20 pm

12:22 pm
mab

you know, it's always bothered me that the demonym for people of the u.s. is American. At some distant past Usonian was used. much better.
12:22 pm
hokie carla

he would also tell us to go to field sex (6) which we always found hilarious
12:23 pm
mab

America assumes we own the whole continent. annoying.
12:23 pm

12:23 pm

12:23 pm

i never heard of Usonian either
12:23 pm

well we are the only country that uses America in its name....
12:23 pm

I certainly don't assume we own the whole continent
12:23 pm

it came along a bit before esperanto. Frank Lloyd Wright used it, among a few others.

12:44 pm

This is a very phantom grid for me.
12:45 pm

ap7 is the loss of voice
12:45 pm

5:18 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

jmc, sorry to report, nothing i'm interested in. thanks for being peristent
5:19 pm
jmcnrick

no problem. only a good idea if they are something you want. My recollection is religious and art books
5:20 pm
jmcnrick

I swear more days then not the last line in the chog when I sit down is Scrabbler saying "Go to go to wrok"!
5:20 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

well, i like any book i can sell -- but yes, religious books and music books are two of my favorite categories
5:20 pm

Well, my wish is to retire in Sept 2024 and then I can come here whenever I want.

5:22 pm

haha well of course any book you can sell but hard for me to know what that is short of taking photos of all the books I have. . . and since I review books for Friends Journal that pile is growing rather than shrinking
5:22 pm
forwardbyfaith

thank you!
5:22 pm
jmcnrick

scrabs I have no idea what retirement means. . .
5:22 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

people are always asking what kind of books do i want that that is really the best short answer LOL
5:23 pm
Scrabbler

I cannot wait. The pandemic has broken me.
5:23 pm
jmcnrick

my tax clients contact me with fear in their voices each year that I am going to retire.
5:23 pm
jmcnrick

I bet, poor Scrabs. My heart goes out to all health people.
5:23 pm
Scrabbler

It is far worse for hospital staff. So much suffering and so many deaths.
5:24 pm
jmcnrick

Well book maybe next time I will send photos of more current books.
5:24 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

i keep reading about the wankers who are attacking nurses because these wankers are paranoid crapheads
5:24 pm

Yes, a dear friend of the boy's runs a low income clinic and she is worn to a frazzle and not even 40
5:25 pm

old or new, no matter, but the more unusual the better
5:25 pm

haha the last one I reviewed was "Forget the Alamo" but I gave it to my b-h-l in Galveston, TX for Christmas.
5:26 pm
Scrabbler

We called the police to escort a screaming, swearing man from our office. He demanded a mask exemption for his son. The things he said, he reminded me of the Jan 6 insurrectionists.

Book Doctor Gwen

i once went to an estate sale for a book reviewer -- hundreds of brand-new books! but mostly fiction which is a foreign country to me
5:27 pm
Scrabbler

That happened in September and was so frightening. Other parents scream that their ill child does not have COVID so there is no need to have testing done. Mentioning vaccination sets off many folks.
5:28 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

too bad we can't shoot them with a tranquilizer, like they do with wildlife, then tag 'em, vax 'em and set 'em free
5:29 pm
jmcnrick

I review non-fiction. Next one I review I bought for the boy for Christmas: The Privatization of Everything.
5:29 pm
jmcnrick

as a civil rights lawyer I would have to object book
5:29 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

yeah, i said "too bad" LOL
5:29 pm
jmcnrick

haha I saw you did book
5:30 pm
Scrabbler

JE, how about a part of the US where just unvaxed folks live.
5:31 pm
jmcnrick

I got brave enough to have a lovely lunch with the boy in a restaurant now that you have to prove you are vaccinated and wear amask when not eating.
5:31 pm
jmcnrick

no sorry scrabs. Think about the Japanese internment camps. Freedom is a bitch.
5:32 pm
jmcnrick

On the other hand I have yet to see a legit religious exemption. The dna stuff is crap AND everyone of them use tylenol and pepto bismal and other things tested the same way. Why didn't they religiously object to that?
5:32 pm
Scrabbler

I knew you would say that. But they are endangering the rest of us.
5:33 pm
jmcnrick

because it is BS
5:33 pm
Scrabbler

What is BS?
5:34 pm
jmcnrick

I think vaccinations should be required just as they are for so many other things like polio and diphtheria
5:34 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

agree -- they are just making up any excuse they can to refuse vaccination -- they are "owning the libs" or some junk
5:34 pm
jmcnrick

bull sh**
5:34 pm
Scrabbler

I am looking forward to the CoV vaccine being required for kids to enter schools.
5:35 pm
jmcnrick

the lefties have their share of BS going on as well. As a freedom fighter I am getting worn down too.
5:35 pm
jmcnrick

but at least I am not getting physically attacked.
5:35 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

ever notice how they keep saying "lockdown" and "we have to prevent another lockdown" and yet the US never had a lockdown
5:35 pm
jmcnrick

yes, then they can just home school or send them to a private school without the requirement.
5:36 pm
Scrabbler

Or homeschool.
5:36 pm
Scrabbler

Oh, you said that.
5:37 pm
jmcnrick

it has been hard on people like me without someone living with me. But I remind myself that people have lived alone in different times for a long time.
5:37 pm
sarah6girls

i am feeling very sad i do not leave house and i have covid so 3 of girls that live at home now have pcr on way so do hubby
5:37 pm
Scrabbler

At this point, how can people NOT know someone that has died of COVID or someone suffering from long COVID.
5:38 pm
jmcnrick

Like the people hiding in attics for all of WWII
5:38 pm
Scrabbler

Oh, no, Sarah.
5:38 pm
penquis

in Maine we had a lockdown of sorts at some point....no one was supposed to go out unless it was to a medical appointment, the pharmacy or the grocery store....the streets were quite empty.....lasted a few weeks....
5:38 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

i know someone who died and the hospital has been refusing to disclose cause of death (!) so I am assuming covid
5:38 pm
jmcnrick

I am so sorry sarah that is rough. I will hold you and your family in the Light (Quaker for I will pray for you)
5:39 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

yes, michigan had a sort of lockdown, but not a real lockdown, because people were still allowed to go out, under certain circumstances
5:39 pm
Scrabbler

We had that early on, penquis. Sadly the economy takes priority over health.
5:39 pm
jmcnrick

DC had a lockdown as well. only essential workers but we were allowed to exercise and garden.
5:39 pm
sarah6girls

when to hospital with bad chest and did test come was covid
5:39 pm

yes, and omicron just spreads too easily....

which is what i meant by, the US never really had a lockdown
5:40 pm

5:42 pm
sarah6girls

5:42 pm
Scrabbler

Are you fully vaccinated?
5:42 pm
sarah6girls

yeah
5:43 pm
Scrabbler

Excellent.
5:44 pm
Scrabbler

Here an oximeter can be bought at a pharmacy for $30-50. You can monitor your blood oxygen level. Check with friends to see if you can borrow one.
5:45 pm
sarah6girls

yesi do have one it 95 at min
5:47 pm
Scrabbler

Good. Return to the hospital if you are < 90 or for difficulty breathing.

5:52 pm

unholy crap, sorry to hear that, jmc
5:53 pm
Scrabbler

What, JE? I thought you were self-employed?
5:53 pm

meh it is part of the job you sign up for 4 weeks and work 2 years, you sign up for two years and get laid off after 3 months.

5:58 pm
Scrabbler

Being a patient is scary and risky, so I want to guide folks.
5:59 pm
jmcnrick

I was just thinking about the time when a babbler indicated that he was super depressed so much so that a babbler contacted the police near him. The police signed in to ask how to contact him and the chog got completely quiet for several minutes. So I began talking with the police since I figured I had more practice with that than most. . .
6:00 pm

a few weeks ago a wanker yelled at me, as I was crossing a parking lot, because I put my mask on before I got out of my car -- "you don't need to wear that in your car!" he shouted in an accusing tone
7:46 pm
MollyL

Honestly, I don't get people who wear masks in their cars while driving alone.
7:50 pm
origami

The early recommendation was that people who were making multiple stops keep their masks on between stops. I guess so they didn't have their potentially germy hands around their faces multiple times.
7:51 pm

But, I agree, it is weird to see people driving around with them on.
7:53 pm

It's surely even weirder to yell at them for it

I will often wear my mask while driving if I am in between stops that are close together, or if I am returning from someplace close to home. And sometimes I just forget to take it off.
