Hi jilli

ha 7 x 2

Actually, yes. I helped a friend help one of her friends run a long errand, and then found that lovely fabric at the fabric store for my office curtains, and then... hm. not a lot physically after that. But I am hungry nonetheless.

hey ruru!

Hi stid hi granny

hope you didn't overdo it, stid.

12:22 am

* big smoochy hug* hey ruru

12:22 am

stid, I'm glad you got your fabrics. Are any of them the ones you showed me?

12:22 am

No, I am sure I didn't. And now that the clouds have cleared after the rain, the migraine is gone. Maybe that is why I am hungry. I didn't eat much yesterday.

12:23 am

I want hashish to be in the grid

12:51 am

Ugh

12:52 am

when we lived in the Montreal area and my son and his wife were in BC, she wrote a letter and it arrived days later still stinking of the stuff she liked in those days.

12:53 am

may I have a clue for that sc5/16 please?

12:54 am

Think Joe jilli

12:55 am

Only one vowel.

12:55 am

what kind of Joe?

12:55 am

Good grief

12:55 am

Rhymes with it.

12:56 am

Think yiddish jilli

12:56 am

according to the dictionary it is an americanism, origin unknown

12:57 am

Yiddish I don't know much awreddy

12:57 am

I cannot see the sh 9

12:57 am

jilli, means a boring person, a jerk

12:57 am

Extend sh5

12:58 am

Maybe you are lacking the sh5 quality.

12:58 am

if you were in a state of not being dull you'd see it, ru

12:58 am

thanx whiz, that did it for me, found

12:58 am

12:59 am

I'm definitely not sh5, can't even get to nbt. Going to get coffee...

12:59 am

*splurts drink* you've got to be kidding jilli

1:00 am

lolol, i mean if you miswrote her first name and left out the r....

1:50 am

ohhh...then all i can say is...WTG FLOSEY!!!

1:51 am

today was our oldest son's 50th b'day

1:52 am

wow, flosey, i remember 50....do you? and isn't it scary when our kids turn an age we remember?

1:52 am

then a big party on the weekend, i take it?

1:52 am

lol rose, it does seem to make me feel older

1:52 am

even though, at the time, I was considered old to have a first - was 31

1:53 am

so you were an elderly primagravure. not sure if that is how it's spelled. means first timer.

1:54 am

but had them all in a hurry, 17 months between first 2 boys, then 2 1/2 yrs later, 15 months between the 2 girls

1:54 am

i was the opposite, had my first at the age 23

1:55 am

wasn't married until I was 29

1:55 am

good grief, flosey, regular glutton for punishment, weren't you? but then, which one would you hand back?

1:55 am

lol, none at all

1:56 am

they played so well together

1:56 am

same here for my mum. she had 5, the last 2 were twins. we laughed for 6 years.

1:56 am

did they have pampers then Flosey and Rose-lol

1:57 am

do you see William in my icon?

1:57 am

someone smack that woman!!! well i certainly didi.

1:57 am

no puglet - cloth diapers at that time - they did come in with liners which helped a lot with the washing

1:57 am

lol I did and I hope he didnt touch anything in the car-lol

1:58 am

giggles Rose

1:58 am

but like flosey, i CHOSE to use cloth nappies, and made my own pilchers from doctor's flannel. remember that stuff, flosey?

1:58 am

and in the winter, they came in like boards, had to hang them around the kitchen to thaw out

1:59 am

Ive changed a few cloth diapers---And at home we didnt own a dryer

1:59 am

that was likeme asking my mother if she wore a bustle when she was a little girl...poor woman, she nearly died from laughing at that one.

2:00 am

lol rose,

2:00 am

I never could understand that--wash clothes hang them out to dry-take em down-wet them ann wad them up to be ironed-lol

2:00 am

when then hubby and i went away i wasvery daring and bought disposable nappies and baby food in the tin or jar.

2:01 am

they didn't even have tghem in the 60s

2:01 am

them

2:02 am

yeah, flosey...wasn't until the 70's. even them i cooked all his food myself. i had a moulie, which ground the food into a pulp.

2:02 am

Ive seen alot of things come and go in this world of ours

2:03 am

and I've never seen a baby with diaper rash when wearing disposables

2:04 am

and before i bought the moulie, i pushed his food through the sieve, using the back of a tablespoon.

2:04 am

Oh I have Flosey

2:05 am

diaper/nappy ra4...which is why i made my own pilchers, instead of buying/using the plastic ones.

2:05 am

oh really? but, I've only seen 2 babies (grandsons)

2:05 am

Ive seen alot at the nursing home too

2:06 am

roflol, i bet you have, pugs

2:06 am

I think alot of it is due to no air to the bottom after time

2:07 am

which is why us elderly parents used to expose our babies rear ends to the sun as much as possible.

2:07 am

how old are the homes before they stop nursing?

2:07 am

must be off to bed, loved the chat, thanks ladies, goodnight now

2:08 am

lol, BR...older than me...

2:08 am

bye Flosey

2:08 am

good night, dear. sweet dreams, flosey

2:10 am

Rose how is Braxton doing now? Are they done testing on him now

2:12 am

Iam sorry OO didnt even say good morning to you

2:17 am

pugs, o-o's response or not doesn't worry me. he has issues, which i empathise with. i accept him for where he is at.

2:19 am

It dosent bother me either.I dont let things like that get to me--there are other who wont talk too

2:19 am

3:53 am

hi, all. I am in somehwat of a state of shock. My husband has been trying to get the Veteran's Adminitration to admit that he is 100% disabled as a result of his military service for five to ten years. He just got the letter of certification from them yesterday, along with a sizeable amount of backpay.

3:56 am

what a wonderful surprise. Sometimes the bureaucracy even works.

3:56 am

he almost gave up at the last minute, but I did not allow that.

3:56 am

Wow - that's great news. Good for you guys/

3:58 am

with this money and his increased income monthly, I will be retiring next February, and we will put enough money into our mortgqge to cut 8 years off the loan and save 25k in interest. Then we will start making two house payments per month to pay it off faster.

4:01 am

I am very pleased for you, Angel..Being mortgage free is a wonderful feeling..such a weight off you....This money will help you get there soo much quicker.

4:05 am

Congrats Angel. Fantastic for you.

Very happy for you and hubby Angel. Thank you for sharing your good news.

6:05 am

Hi all, hiya chrissie

Hey, you could exercise together

6:13 am

He has been told to keep it moving tho

Only thing tablets can help with is the pain

6:13 am

good morning everyone:)

6:13 am

he had it a few months ago and nhs direct told him the same thing, just take tablets, Hi cross

Hi crossy

Google exercises for shoulder impingement.

6:15 am

i'll tell him but he's not good at taking instruction, he's a man

6:15 am

which is why i'm known as saggy naggy

Charming!

6:16 am

I do nag, but it's cos he doesn't listen, tut

6:16 am

I thought Rush Limbaugh is the saggy naggy

6:16 am

It's such a beautiful day. I had my coffee out on the patio. : )

7:19 am

7:24 am

Morning Annie

7:24 am

beautiful day, Molly

7:25 am

It doesn't get much better than this in August. : )

7:45 am

indeed

7:45 am

i got 2 ke4/8, might as well just ask right away and get it over with, what's the 3rd

7:46 am

ka4/8

7:46 am

thanks

7:46 am

thanks Bea

7:46 am

Bea, how is the little girl?

7:46 am

She is doing well. Growing like a bad weed. Thanks for asking.

7:47 am

as opposed to a good weed?

7:47 am

was just thinking the same

7:47 am

Something my grandma used to say.

7:47 am

Beautiful mornin' folks

7:47 am

Is there a good weed?

7:48 am

turns of phrase are on my mind as there is this makeshift memorial sign up on the corner for a former hockey coach which says "always remembered, never forgotten" which is annoying me.

7:48 am

In the southern way of thinking, the bad weeds are the ones that grow the fastest.

7:49 am

i mean, you don't have to write both. if always remembered, then, never forgotten is a given.

7:49 am

or vice versa.

7:50 am

i see so it's not that there are good weeds, it's that there are WORSE weeds.

7:50 am

Yes, but growing like a worse weed just doesn't roll off the tongue the same way. : )

7:51 am

well, i can accept this as a reasonable thing then. but always remembered, never forgotten, that's just wasting words.

7:52 am

hi all. any clue for the 9?

7:52 am

i just started...

7:52 am

sh9/66

7:53 am

As Wendell Johnson said...always and never are two words you should always remember never to use. : D

7:53 am

which sh does it come from Bea

7:53 am

and now i get to the c and realize that my rant about the sign included a c word, whoops.

7:53 am

the bottom one, bichon

7:53 am

ty

7:55 am

does the sh9 have any connection to an edge of a razor

7:55 am

yes.

7:55 am

yes

7:55 am

Yes

7:55 am

yes annie

7:56 am

...they all said at once...

7:56 am

i think we have a consensus!

7:56 am

thanks, all, got it

7:57 am

is sh 9 double word?????????cant see it yet.

7:57 am

the quality of...

7:57 am

quality of a knife.

7:58 am

ca 6/21 -- name of a Roman emperor that sounds like an order to take a woman into custody ...

7:58 am

7:59 am

7:59 am

oh, wow! thanks bichon

7:59 am

yw Babs

7:59 am

and a grid word too. ty got it.,

8:00 am

but, it's not really a compound word. i mean, whatever ne4 means, it's not being used that way in sh9.

8:00 am

True hurshy

8:00 am

in the sh 9 you have a root word and a suffix

8:00 am

on the high se4 your ship attacked, and the dread pirate roberts never takes prisoners

8:00 am

i cant get that ca word. i know the clue but must be messing the ending up.

8:01 am

mkg, it's also a salad

8:01 am

new word for me ... sn 6/21 -- add easily annoyed: p**vi**

8:02 am

well, i can hardly afford to make exceptions. i mean, once word leaks out that a pirate has gone soft, then people begin to disobey you and then it's nothing but work work work all the time!

8:02 am

I like that word

8:02 am

stealth word and pl

8:03 am

8:06 am

pl of what you sit on

8:07 am

8:07 am

8:08 am

like, a committee

8:08 am

co+ a place to sit

8:08 am

8:08 am

8:09 am

heads of committee who share the role or head..

8:09 am

8:15 am

8:17 am

whoa, that's a new one

8:17 am

TY, o-o, and good day to all.

8:17 am

great clue

8:18 am

then a final one .... beginning of elementary or high + the first two of a Stooge

8:18 am

the ways I've seen in the past took a lot of time and patience to download ...is this something different?

8:18 am

Hi Scrabbs, back from kayaking?

8:19 am

I returned from the Adirondack Mtns on Sunday night. My head is still there. It is my favorite place to be. We kayaked in so many places, including Lake Placid.

8:19 am

I loved Lake Placid

8:20 am

most properly.. beginning of word that often follows elementary or high

8:21 am

Lake Placid brings to mind the winter olympics and hockey

8:21 am

got it, thanks

8:22 am

The Olympic sites are used for training and visitors can go too. The ski jumps are like big monsters looking over the region.

8:22 am

Miracle On Ice

8:23 am

the sc5 word is Yiddish...Enable says of unknown origin

8:23 am

i love that movie

8:23 am

We kayaked on the AuSable River and the Chubb River in Lake Placid too. Beautiful rivers in wilderness settings just outside of the village.

8:24 am

was the water cold?

8:25 am

Scrabs...there is an AuSable River in NY?

8:25 am

Yes, high 60's. Not too cold to swim in though.

8:25 am

Yes, phaeton, in the Adirondacks.

8:25 am

clue for sc5?

8:26 am

some random joe sc5 off the street...

8:26 am

sc5---middle ***ool and not less but **re\

8:27 am

We have one here where I live in MI...famous for canoeing. They have a race every year from Grayling to Oscoda on Lake Huron.

8:27 am

ah..thanks! never thought about it as yiddish word....but certainly heard from my parents who spoke some yiddish

8:28 am

Nice, phaeton

8:29 am

?

8:29 am

About the canoe race, phaeton

8:30 am

would anyone like some Cold? we have plenty in my office, i can send it to you fedex

8:30 am

sorry...posts weren't coming thru

8:31 am

Cold?

8:32 am

no..have enough cold here...waiting for warm

8:33 am

Who is responsible for regulating HVAC, hurshy?

8:35 am

oh, facilities

8:36 am

but there's not much they can do. see, the building is so old. and when they renovated it, they didn't quite get it right. and it would be super expensive to fix it right, you'd have to redo everything, tear up the walls, and whatnot. even then, i dunno, maybe really you just have to tear down the building and start from scratch.

8:37 am

are there any mis- prefix words?

8:37 am

Morning Kiddies

8:38 am

your supervisor's brother ... come in from the cold

8:38 am

no

8:38 am

Hi hego

8:38 am

my supervisor's brother? my supervisor is cold too.

8:38 am

only one mi word

8:38 am

ciao scrabs

8:39 am

spies come in from the cold at times, or try to.

8:40 am

oh, she isn't my supervisor anymore, hasn't been in a long time.

8:40 am

i don't have too much contact with her anymore.

8:40 am

thankfully.

8:40 am

oic

8:42 am

You must be rather autonomous?

8:42 am

no, i just have a different role, and a different supervisor.

8:43 am

nobody's autonomous... except, in a way i guess, tenured faculty!

8:44 am

is the web page up-to-date?

8:44 am

you work on that, don't you?

8:46 am

it's... up to date in some respects... perhaps not in others... there's only so much i can do if i am not given information.

8:47 am

yes, I have some experience with that kind of frustration

8:48 am

rye is the new rage

4:38 pm

It is really different TO, whatever botanicals they do use work...blends perfectly with the tonic! I do know they put huckleberries in it

4:39 pm

4:40 pm

Where ARE you TO....housekeeping??

home

4:43 pm

sheesh is too a word....

emptied the dishwsher and my colander had white substance all over. pyrex bowl had wtching on the inside rim and plate seemed etched as well

perectly good bowl ruined and the plate will set me abck about 22+ shipping

4:44 pm

Wow, that's weird, new dishwashing soap? Or rinse agent?

don't use rinse agent. colander and bowl on top rack

ruined items on left, toward the back. the other bowl and lassware were ine

4:46 pm

We have HARD water here, always use rinse agent

and jilly you are close on that word, change the second letter

4:47 pm

What kind of dishwasher detergent do you use?

cascade.

4:47 pm

whatever is on sale

4:47 pm

Your dishwasher is obviously not rinsing properly, you could have a clogged hose.

4:49 pm

And sorry TO, I wasn't clear. I meant liquid or powder.

4:49 pm

got it, ty TO

ruined stuff. i don't want to buy stuff, i am trying to downsize. the plate will be about 30 all told

4:49 pm

duuuuuuuuude

powder. old dishwasher.

RED!!!!!!

4:49 pm

I would try soaking it in vinegar and see if it doesn't come off first TO

4:50 pm

How is it ruined? If it's the dishwasher detergent, it will come off with hot water in the sink.

molly, hte colander is ok but the bowl is etched. cannot be saved. the plate is also roughed up though you have to look closely to see it

it is etched, one can feel it.

4:51 pm

? i know her BF is in new england so she was figuring out how to work it.

4:56 pm

brb

4:57 pm

Bad doesn't even come close, TO. Think of the worstest feeling you can possibly imagine. Then triple it. Then quadruple it. Then take it to the nth degree. Then do it all again and you might get close. :'(

oh red. i am so sorry.

4:59 pm

BUT I'm on the upside now, I believe. I hope. Seriously. I really, truly, honest-to-goodness-ly pray that there isn't something worse than that and that I never have to feel anything even close to that ever again.

i seond that i will say a prayer that that is the case.

5:01 pm

Thanks TO.

5:03 pm

My family and I appreciate all the lovin' we can get. My sis voluntarily passed away in March and it's been, well, it's been what I would imagine hell on earth would be.

i am so sorry.

5:05 pm

So very sorry redshoes. That is about as awful as it can be. You have our support.

5:09 pm

That is the hardest loss there is Redshoes, prayers out for those she left behind.

5:09 pm

Thanks y'all. I wouldn't normally blurt that out, but I didn't think it'd be an overshare with the peeps who are here right now.

5:10 pm

The more you talk about it, the less of it you carry around.

no, if you wanted to share it with us that is your choice and fine.

5:11 pm

It wasn't red...sharing helps...we all care

5:11 pm

I have said my oo 4/5 & aa 4/5 over my fireworks. Now here is a story of clues. I am not ch 5/16ed by Ch 5/14 Bank.

Ignore me, btw, 'cos I'm not really here. I only came in to read my friend Hazel's profile post about growing up in Northern Ireland during 'The Troubles'. The name was coined in the late 1960s but Ireland has been 'troubled' since the 17th century. It was sad to read how people growing up there saw the conflict as 'normal' until people from the outside told them it was not. Here on the UK mainland, we weren't really shocked into realisation until the Birmingham pub bombings in 1974. That felt to us like I would think 9/11 felt to people in the USA. We had a settled community of Irish people and most were as shocked and horrified as we were. Time has moved on. Ireland has a fragile peace and we on the mainland have new threats from other settlers.
