gm soodle! still in the forming stages. I need to get this nailed down. All I know for sure is we'll be in Dublin the 27th-28th.
6:31 am
ChampFit
My fault! Been too busy to drive the group forward. Will have more time this week. ;)
6:33 am
Soodle
Great to hear. :)
6:40 am
MollyL
Champ, when you are in Dublin please bless all the good people at Jameson. I toast John & Son on a regular basis.
6:41 am
ChampFit
Last year one of my friends brought steel cut oats to a brunch with Jameson to put on top. Tried it, and thought I'd died and gone to heaven!
6:42 am
MollyL
I am a straight up woman. I don't mix my Jameson with anything but me.
6:42 am
Soodle
I should be stripped of my Irishness. I judt don’t like whiskey.
6:44 am
ChampFit
It's truly not my thing either, but it just melted into the oatmeal and was lovely.
7:31 am

8:07 am
Dorens
I might even try that
8:08 am
rururocks
(note to self leave a bunch of aa pamphlets in the PB)
8:08 am
Dorens
Haven't had breakfast yet
8:09 am
rururocks
when do you leave doren?
8:09 am
Dorens
tomorrow, Ru
8:09 am
rururocks
oh great.. can't wait for you to get there
8:10 am
rururocks
the hotel is first class all the way
8:10 am
Dorens
very much looking forward to it. First night I'm staying in Vancouver but don't think I'll get to see much of it. My hotel isn't all that far from where the seaplanes take off.
8:11 am
rururocks
oh you're right at the airport..
8:11 am
rururocks
the seaplanes are really fun.. but noisy
8:12 am
Dorens
No, not airport. The seaplanes take off from the harbor. Hotel isn't right there, but seems like a nice place not too far
8:12 am
Dorens
St, Regis Hotel
8:13 am
rururocks
we stayed at the Loden in downtown Vancouver.. great restaurant nighthawk or something like that
8:13 am
rururocks
you'll likely be too tired to jet around town anyway
8:13 am
Dorens
I'm getting in around 11 pm my time so I don't think I'm going to partake of the nightlife. Conserving my energy for Toffino
8:15 am
rururocks
that's not me when I go to NY.. i'm out the first night
8:16 am
Dorens
You're younger :)
8:16 am
Dorens
Also the time change works the other way-
8:16 am

I've had more wear on my tires than you think

hello, rbud
9:06 am
hurshy
how on earth did dizgrannie find that tr9
9:07 am
BzznBea
Superhuman powers
9:43 am
Dorens
she found it after lickety came up.. likely looked it up. she's a very smart person but not that smart
9:43 am
MollyL
Well, all she did was call tr9 and that was after the list went up.
9:45 am
rururocks
she does that all the time.. pulls out the big one once lickety is up... but she is certainly really good at this game nonetheless.
9:46 am
MollyL
I thought the big contest at the flip was to see how many of the big ones they can find before the list goes up.
9:47 am
rururocks
true.. that is the contest. and certain players are incredibly good at locating the big words in minutes
9:49 am
rururocks
rainqui is like a word savant
9:50 am
MollyL
I don't look at the flip until I have had some time with a grid on my own. It's no challenge for me if I get all the words from what other people post.
9:52 am
rururocks
me too.. I try not to do the flip anymore.. for that very reason.. it's like a feeding frenzy
9:52 am
BzznBea
I've been asleep for hours at the flip.
9:53 am
rururocks
yeah.. that too :D
9:53 am
rururocks
you could drag your laptop to bed like hokie and keep Larry up all night bea
9:54 am
BzznBea
Ha! I can think of things better than a laptop to keep him up al night,
9:54 am
BzznBea
You walked into that one!
9:54 am
MollyL
Feeding frenzy is the perfect description
9:55 am
rururocks
LOL you little vixen bea
9:55 am
BzznBea
Larry is deaf without his hearing aids. Nothing can wake him.
9:57 am
rururocks
thankfully I'm not there yet.. I hear really well with my right ear... my left is a bit sketchier
9:58 am
BzznBea
HIs next step is cochlear and he has refused thus far.
9:58 am
rururocks
I'm not sure what that is
9:59 am
BzznBea
It is an implant into the ear.
10:01 am
rururocks
oh I bet he doesn't want to do that
10:01 am
rururocks
he's not that old is he?
10:01 am
BzznBea
He is 78.
10:02 am
rururocks
I thought you guys were younger than that
10:02 am
BzznBea
He has believed most of his likfe that he would die in 2025
10:02 am
BzznBea
I'm younger than that.
10:02 am
rururocks
well hopefully that won't happen
10:03 am
rururocks
I'll be 71 this year.. jeezus
10:03 am
rururocks
whoa.. that's a big age difference
10:04 am
cybernan
good morning everyone - and the years just keep going by faster and faster
10:04 am
rururocks
you were born in 59? Bea?
10:04 am
rururocks
hi nan
10:05 am
MollyL
I have heard of target dated for things, but never death
10:05 am
rururocks
lucky you.. great vintage 59
10:05 am
BzznBea
I think so. =)
10:05 am
rururocks
I never thought I'd make it to forty.. but here I am
10:06 am
rururocks
that's really true nan.. 2024 just blew by me
10:06 am
rururocks
but then I'm still working too though
10:06 am
MollyL
66 could also be people born in '58 with birthdays after June
10:06 am
rururocks
... but not for much longer
10:06 am
rururocks
That's why I asked Molly
10:06 am
cybernan
I've been busier this last year than ever -- just don't ask me how.
10:07 am
rururocks
I had a 1959 Cos du Estournel once and it was glorious
10:07 am
rururocks
59 Mouton is supposedly great but I've never had it
10:07 am
BzznBea
Larry's oldest child was born when I was 10. LOL!
10:08 am
rururocks
when you met did he ask how many you were?
10:09 am
BzznBea
He knew. He made a surprise trip to Kansas for my 40th
10:10 am
rururocks
my wife was older than me and it worked out well for the most part
10:11 am
rururocks
she was waaaaaay smarter than me too and I did my best to keep up
10:12 am
BzznBea
We met for the first time in Jume, 1999 and married in January, 2000. We were in the same place together less than 30 days before we were married.
10:12 am
rururocks
wow.. that's a quick romance
10:13 am
BzznBea
He didn't want me to get away.
10:13 am
rururocks

tr9 is a dermatological drug that’s similar to a retinol. I had a prescription long ago to try to help with rosacea pustules. (Sorry if that’s TMI)
1:48 pm
MollyL
You seem to be the only one here who has ever heard of it. Do you live in the US?
1:57 pm
