8:32 am

Dorens

lol

8:32 am

Scrabbler

And the puns begin.

8:32 am

Dorens

Hi Scrabs. How's the shoulder?

8:33 am

Scrabbler

Excellent. In 2 days I will be 12 weeks post-op. Range of motion is almost equal to my left shoulder. I am progressing well.

8:33 am

Dorens

that's great outcome

8:34 am

Scrabbler

I have been very lucky.

8:34 am

rururocks

good news scrabs

8:35 am

Dorens

How come frau isn't accepted, but senora is?

8:35 am

Scrabbler

A few weeks ago I started forgetting I had surgery

8:35 am

Dorens

that's a great sign

8:35 am

Scrabbler

Not in the grid, Doren.

8:35 am

rastapopolous

that one irritates me too

8:36 am

Scrabbler

Mael, if you are lurking I have a question.

8:36 am

rururocks

is fraulein accepted?

8:36 am

aslindy

looks like yes, ruru

8:37 am

Dorens

frau is in the grid. just not in enable
I dount it, ru

8:37 am

rururocks

enable only wants the younger german women

8:38 am

saanichcat

fraulein is accepted

8:38 am

Dorens

didn't realize you could look up words in enable, but then again I don't think I've ever had reason to.

Many only want younger women, why not enable?

8:39 am

aslindy

just try the word, it will say "fraulein does not exist in the puzzle"

8:39 am

rururocks

i never really understood that doren.. I mean what would you talk about...? Taylor Swift?

8:40 am

Dorens

good point aslindy

8:40 am

Dorens

Always liked the Steely Dan song, "Hey 19"

8:42 am

rururocks

I can't wait until this weekend coming up
:D

8:42 am

Scrabbler

Why?

8:43 am

rururocks

heading to NYC :D

8:43 am

Dorens

So, I'm down in the Florida Keys with year old grandson (and his parents) and I must say it's a nice place. But next week in NYC will be awesome.

8:43 am

Scrabbler

Aha.

8:43 am

Scrabbler

peen

8:43 am

Dorens

NYC has missed Ruru

8:43 am

Scrabbler

Free clue, and I already had it.

8:44 am

rururocks

8:45 am

BzznBea

8:46 am

rururocks

8:47 am

Dorens

:)

8:47 am

rururocks

and I'm going to Koloman and Anton's.. Not sure where I'm going Sunday

8:47 am

rururocks

I tried to get into Claud but they were a bit too precious

8:48 am

Dorens

Estela still remains one of my favorite restaurant experiences of all time

8:48 am

BzznBea

i'm all about the food when i go somewhere

8:49 am

rururocks

that was one amazing evening Doren.. one of my favorite nights out ever

8:49 am

rururocks

me too bea.. i love great inventive food

8:50 am

Scrabbler

And I would rather be in the forest, in a tent or lean-to, eating a freeze-dried meal.

8:50 am

Dorens

And, as I'm sure you know, Ru- Ignacios Mattos owns both Estela and Corner Bar. So it has to be good

8:50 am

Scrabbler

Enjoy your meals.

8:50 am

rururocks

yep.. that's how i got in.. I'll tell you the story at dinner

8:51 am

Dorens

I love the forest too, Scrabbs. Balance in life - great food, concerts and theater in the city, great experiences in the woods

8:53 am

rururocks

next time we take scrabs to dinner I'm bringing out a pack of freeze dried food for her..

8:53 am

rururocks

next time we take scrabs to dinner I'm bringing out a pack of freeze dried food for her..

8:53 am

rururocks

next time we take scrabs to dinner I'm bringing out a pack of freeze dried food for her..

8:54 am

rururocks

sorry the comment got stuck

8:55 am

Scrabbler

TY, ruru. In a park, please. I am urban-phobic.

8:56 am

rururocks

I'm like Doren. I love both.. New York is so incredible..

8:56 am

Dorens

You can get lost in Central Park, Scrabs

8:57 am

Scrabbler

Perfect, Doren.

8:57 am

Dorens

But then again, you don't have to. And the Adirondacks ARE uniquely spectacular. Or spectacularly unique

8:58 am

Scrabbler

My heaven, Doren.

8:58 am

Dorens

Understandable. I could never forget my experience when I drove up there to get my Hornbeck, and I owe that all to you

9:04 am

Scrabbler

The best boats.

9:05 am

Dorens

Honestly the boat is terrific, but the drive up there, the b & B I stayed in, the whole experience was just perfect for me at that point. Sort of nice beginning to retirement

9:07 am

Dorens

well, I think nap time is over for the little one and time to head down to the beach. Later, folks Enjoy the day

9:07 am

Scrabbler

Bye, Doren.

phantom: antelope

1:21 pm

dcseain

when my phone says, "Optimizing your device, this may take a while" they really mean a while. so far, half an hour.

1:21 pm

hurshy

:(

1:22 pm

dcseain

eh, there are worse things. Security date is worth it.

1:22 pm

dcseain

I mean, I am old enough to remember to set some things running at 9PM hoping they'd be done by 7AM, and being content of by 8AM. :)

1:23 pm

dcseain

...if by...

1:23 pm

hurshy

the thing i hate is when i'm charging my phone and it says it's optimizing charging because it knows my routine, so it like charges slower, and there's no "please override this today, i want it to be charged ASAP because i'm going somewhere"

1:24 pm

dcseain

oh, yeah, that makes sense. Happily, mine only does that after 11PM.

1:25 pm

hurshy

i just feel like any feature you put on a device, you should have a "click or tap here" to override

1:25 pm

dcseain

agreed
