You know Grant

You know the Grant Wood Gothic house is in Batavia, Iowa about 20 minutes from where I live.

7:23 am

It is still standing? Very cool

7:23 am

But now you must go to the PB

Yes and it is a great place to go. It is a state tourist attraction. You know the two people in the painting were never at the house and they never met until years later. The woman was his Aunt I think and the man was his dentist.

What is the PB?

7:25 am

the penalty box...you used a word from the grid in the chog.

It is actually in Eldon, Iowa and the woman was his sister.

Oh sorry

7:26 am

Waking up. I slept later than usual--recovering from working extra hours these last few weeks.

8:46 am

8:46 am

8:46 am

I am on my second. =)

I usually have just one mug.

8:47 am

sue, that's great. do you know what she is singing?

8:48 am

Nice.

8:49 am

no, but i am sure it will be Christmas music. Isnt that all we get to hear for another week or two?

8:50 am

My fave = Oh, Holy Night.

8:51 am

i heard a song, and you know when you hear a line that just stops you cold? It was "you are beautiful, and pretty on the outside".

8:51 am

first ac 7/36

8:52 am

sue... that is ... odd

8:52 am

It is fascinating that certain songs connect with our brains.

8:52 am

Matches, I struggled with the ac's and moved on.

8:52 am

as the kids say in school "true that"

8:53 am

matches... I don't that those, either

8:53 am

8:59 am

thanks - took me a couple of tries *lol*

8:59 am

Hm, am I the only one that doesn't get it?

8:59 am

good clue. I would not have thought of that because it's spelled differently.

got a call from my friend in balto, apparently this is a nasty virus going around. he is far sicker than i was.

8:59 am

*singing* I am Don ********, Man of La Mancha

9:00 am

did that do it, scrabbs?

9:00 am

Viruses abound--day care center and schools are the breeding grounds.

9:00 am

... french or spanish spelling

9:00 am

That worked and I was lucky to pick the right spelling

i went into one wed fr the community pizza with santa. thursday i was sick

9:01 am

well done

9:01 am

I am finally much better and today is 4 wks since I became ill with laryngitis and coughing.

we were pondering theincubationperiodfor those viruses.

9:02 am

Pretty short if the germs get delivered directly into your nose or mouth.

glad to hear it, scrabbler.

9:03 am

I have "big kid croup"==laryngitis/tracheitis/bronchit\nis. Using an asthma inhaler for the last 2 wks has helped with the coughing.

sounds dreadful.

9:04 am

FIREWORKS

wtg,matches!

9:04 am

Not horrible, but annoying with coughing.

9:04 am

Yay, Matches.

food tastes altered. hardly hungry

9:05 am

9:07 am

My phantom = coach

9:07 am

11:50 am

oh, goof off days are nice. :)

11:50 am

I could use one

11:50 am

to be honest

11:51 am

here's a goofy for your goof off day:

11:51 am

http://survivingtheworld.net/Lesson233\n3.html

11:54 am

doesn't work

11:55 am

http://survivingtheworld.net/

11:55 am

that's the home page, not the specific comic, but it's the most recent comic so if you check it today should work :)

11:57 am

ha. I hate xmas music.. it's really irritating

11:58 am

aardvarks make everything better. I'm gonna change it up with armadillos and giraffes too :)

11:59 am

hah. i just looked at the grid size - i ws thinking grid was not being nice to me but turns out i'm 2/3 done :D

11:59 am

one of my neighbors put out tons of xmas stuff the DAY after Halloween.. and plays xmas music piped out into the street. I want to beat him with a bat

12:00 pm

just like a woman to check out the grid size

12:00 pm

hello....can someone please clue the first ac 7?

12:01 pm

i think men spend more time worrying about size than women do.

12:01 pm

ac (beginning to be sore+ plus most of tiny thing with a different ending vowel

12:01 pm

how loud is the music? noise violation?

12:01 pm

I don't ever worry about grid size

12:01 pm

ty ru...

12:02 pm

it's on the edge of being a noise violation

12:03 pm

I've asked him to lower it.. and he did. he's completely nuts about christmas

12:03 pm

well, that's good anyway

12:04 pm

I'm thinking of a banner for my house "Scrooge lives here!"

12:04 pm

*waits for jess to start looking for the oi 8 *

12:05 pm

sorry...bruce keeps distracting me :)

12:06 pm

oh.. ?

12:06 pm

he's internet shopping and just got a new toy

12:07 pm

what kind of toy?

12:07 pm

some kind of gaming thing called a shield

12:07 pm

oh .. that kind of thing has little interest for me

12:08 pm

yeah, me too, generally... but he's excited, so i pretend to be interested.

12:09 pm

Oh there is SO much to say about that comment...SO much

12:09 pm

ha!

12:10 pm

probably because I am intentionally playing straight man for ruru, Molly. It's fun to watch him run with the entries.

12:10 pm

we can easily take that out of context jes :D

12:11 pm

I am twisted more than a glazed donut

12:12 pm

And have more issues than National Geographic

12:12 pm

LOL

12:12 pm

"sings Lady Gaga's : Born that way!"

12:13 pm

I would find it very difficult to pretend to be excited about anything gaming related. I truly don't understand the obsession.

12:14 pm

me neither.. my nephews are total gaming junkies.. I don't really understand it either

12:14 pm

they all seem violent and pointless to me

12:14 pm

I didn't say i pretended to be excited. i said i pretend interest. which means i look at him and say 'neat' and 'uh huh' and 'why's that?', not that I jump up and say "we should go buy it NOW" :D

12:16 pm

There are non-violent games, ruru. and I actually had a lot of fun playing World Of Warcraft as a vegetarian pacifist shaman... ;D

12:16 pm

are they the kind of shoot em up games?

12:16 pm

do you get extra points for Tofu?

12:16 pm

I don't even know what he's playing... Dragon Age Inquisition, maybe? he's stoked about a new gadget that displays games on a handheld, not a specific game.

12:17 pm

no, it was actually a whole bunch of handicapping of myself, because the game is not at all set up for that - there were a lot of quests I couldn't take and armor I couldn't use (can't wear leather, you know). Which was fine, because it made it a more interesting challenge.

12:18 pm

you don't wear leather?

12:18 pm

my vegetarian shaman character didn't.

12:18 pm

*takes off ostrich leather pants*

12:19 pm

oh

12:19 pm

heh.

12:20 pm

i am done... :oD

12:20 pm

I have veggie friends that don't wear leather

12:21 pm

*whispers congrats to Penquis*

12:21 pm

ty, ru... :o)

12:22 pm

oh angelsong is here.. Hey Angel? can I ask you a question?

12:22 pm

yay penq!

12:22 pm

I do too, ruru... they're not me. I am not vegetarian either.

12:22 pm

I'm semi veggie nowadays

12:23 pm

though i'm not currently wearing leather... i'm in fuzzy pajama pants and warm socks, loafing on the couch because i can.

12:23 pm

I'm a semivegetarian

12:23 pm

fuzzy?

12:24 pm

yeah, soft, fuzzy, with happy bunny print :)

12:24 pm

oh.. cute.. let's see it in an icon

12:25 pm

i don't have any pictures of my pants, ru :P

12:26 pm

They should make weemee print pajamas for Hego and Car

12:26 pm

I wouldn't want any weemees near my ...

12:27 pm

Have bruce take a screenshot jes :D live large

12:28 pm

weemee?

12:29 pm

it's a cartoonish drawing of little people with big heads and ghoulish eyes

12:30 pm

sounds... pleasant?

12:30 pm

not really

12:30 pm

kind of creepy actually

12:31 pm

I think I'll wander off. Enjoy your holidays jes.. nice to see you.

12:32 pm

have fun, ru. don't get caught.

1:04 pm

Hego does not wear pajamas.

1:05 pm

Just for the record she wears nightgowns.

1:28 pm

hello

1:29 pm

hiya Harp

1:32 pm

nice to know...

1:32 pm

:)

1:33 pm

how are you, Hego?

1:34 pm

pretty good phann and you.

1:34 pm

not bad. Avoiding doing stuff I really need to do...

1:34 pm

Likewise..

1:35 pm

actually, I am blown away. I had put out a request to my neighbors to help out with size 14 professional clothing so she can find a job. She is currently homeless. I got 3 bags of clothes today AND an offer for $300.00!

1:36 pm

That's wonderful!

1:36 pm

1:42 pm

well, thanks. I guess I will attempt to do that stuff I have been avoiding.

1:42 pm

no avoiding it.

1:43 pm

sigh, no. And if I don't get it done, I will only be mad at myself when my daughter comes home to a wreck of a house.

1:44 pm

You're a nice mom.

1:51 pm

afternoon all!

1:52 pm

Hi Dan

2:33 pm

35 words on my own. The other 38 would require cheat sheets and clues. Too much nonsense.

2:36 pm

2:42 pm

4:39 pm

New house???? Have you moved?

4:40 pm

Julie's new house. I am a little worried as Simon has been made redundant and it seems they may have to move again. I have sent Himself a silent prayer that this will not happen. Cross your fingers, soodle

i found me an 8 but i can't find anything from the O. can you give me a hint for one of the Os?

ah, just found an O

NBT then

10:16 pm

ot4/5 is fairly common on Babble

yep, thanks

10:16 pm

oi8/50 is impossible ..

hm, thanks, i will be hunting now

10:17 pm

i am really struggling and not getting either of the 8s. can anyone clue them? the oi or the other one? i am not remembering what it started with.

would you believe, the oi8 is on my cheat sheet, so it must have been in one of these grids in the past

et8, one who studies morals and values.

10:21 pm

ty gwen. great clue. i got it instantly. ty.

10:21 pm

ok gwen, so how about one for the oi 8???????

here's another clue: s*** myers + vowel + ci4 (a medical condition)

oh, well, never mind that clue i just posted then 8-)

hm, i will see what i can come up with the oi8, jst a sec

10:22 pm

ok who is myers? a man? a lady? sounds good but dont know who it is.

oi + tiny little bug that gets under your skin + Cornell University is in ith*** new york

(s*** myers, he's one of those late night talk show hosts, I think, I get them all mixed up though, so i could be wrong)

10:24 pm

wow! super clues. and i got it!!!!!!!!!!!!!yeah gwen!!!!!but who is myers??????

(it used to be johnny carson and then bedtime, now there's a million of 'em)

8-)

10:25 pm

ok got it. you were cluing the other one, not the oi. so sorry.

10:25 pm

well thanks for those.

10:26 pm

one more clue please: i have no g words. any one will do.

anytime 8-)

all i have is go6, as in a go**** horrow movie

oh, yeah, there's also gi4/7, scottish dialect, past tense of to go ( i think)

horror movie, i meant

10:27 pm

gorey?? hmmm.

10:27 pm

ty got the gi word.

the same word also can be a go**** romance, and an architectural style

10:28 pm

anyone ever heard the word gotchkis??????

sounds like jewish soup LOL

10:29 pm

gotchkis were pants that ladies and girls wore under skirts back in the 1920s. they kept your legs warm. they were wool. or cotton. i just wonder if this was an english word or not. or did my grandmother get it from yiddish or polish.

well, the internet is here to answer all your questions! (i'm not looking it up, though, i'm too lazy)

10:30 pm

jewish soup? not really. but then i guess i always knew what gotchkis were.......the kis is pronounced like kiss. so maybe i should spell it gotchkiss.........

10:31 pm

I think it's Polish. They used to talk about wearing gotchies in the winter in Cleveland.

10:31 pm

nothing comes up on google except some people named hotchkiss.........or some other things.

10:33 pm

torgone, were they jewish or not? if they were polish but not jewish, then it was indeed a polish word. glad someone else heard of it. i never met anyone else who heard that word. i now wear capris pants from target or walmart under my skirts all winter for warmth.

10:33 pm

also what came up was hotchkiss pre school in conn. and i know that school well as i grew up in conn.

i just checked wikipedia and urbandictionary and they don't have it either

might be a regionalism or even a family word

10:35 pm

torgone, do tell me if you heard it from jewish people or not. if not, this will mean it was polish. if so it might be yiddish.

10:36 pm

i also checked some on line dict.that translates into many languages. and they dont have it ...

10:36 pm

no it wasnt a family thing. all the kids wore gotchkis.

10:36 pm

It was mostly from Polish extracted folks

10:37 pm

torgone are you stil here?

10:37 pm

They meant long underwear like thermals

10:39 pm

If you look up "gotchies" a lot more comes up

10:44 pm

Wondering if you-all are done talking about underwear, I can help clue since I finished earlier...

ah-ha, urbandictionary has "gotchkees" which i think is the word, if not the same spelling

nope, stid, we are not1 LOL

10:45 pm

rofl

10:46 pm

how are you, gwen

trouble with languagem, it keeps evolving, and you can't stop it!

10:46 pm

tor, did you get enough rain yet?? Have been thinking about you and yours, and hoping none of you are in flood- or slide danger!

10:46 pm

hi all :)

i'm doing fairly well, how's you?

hiya jes

10:48 pm

I am on VACATION!!!! fourteen more days after today. I will do some school-related reading and planning tomorrow and Tuesday, and some housekeeping tasks... and mostly I am just enjoying having some time to hang out and do things as I want and not as the clock dictates. LOL and my children and Tom are healthy and well, so life for us is good.

10:48 pm

hey jes!

10:48 pm

yay vacation!

10:48 pm

how is the beautiful effie doing these days, jes? hoping less skeletal than in the icon pic?

10:49 pm

she looks like a lean dog instead of a drying rack :)

10:49 pm

The rain was good. No flooding or mudslides to speak of. We could still use more.

10:49 pm

up to 40 pounds (was 27 in the picture)

10:49 pm

nice! both about the rain and the weight gain. SO glad to hear good news.

10:50 pm

I think you will get more rain later this week, tor -- was looking at the maps last night and apparently another north-to-south system is coming in tomorrow or Tuesday.

10:51 pm

how about the intestinal stuff -- getting less troublesome, I hope, jes? Oh -- and mother's dog, Murphy, had a torn ACL that got repaired this past week. Man are those critters expensive!

10:52 pm

much less problem, she's just on a special diet, no drugs.

10:53 pm

my Tom just made choclit cookies... no drugs here, either! LOL

10:54 pm

low protein, or high fiber, or ... ??? (wondering how expensive she is going to be to feed) Lucky cost me easily $100 a month in food.

10:55 pm

we fed him half from an all-vegetable bag and half from either salmon-rice or chicken-sweet potato blends. He needed LOTS of food just to maintain at about 85.

10:59 pm

anyway... does anyone want clues before I turn into a pumpkin? Have been staying up way too late, and want to be up earlier tomorrow.

11:02 pm

sorry, phone call distracted me

11:03 pm

she's on Purina enteric right now, which is about $80 for a 32 pound bag

11:05 pm

worth every penny for good health, but frustrating I know to get her placed.

11:06 pm

yeah, i have hope though - got the mastiff with myesthenia gravis placed, and he needs expensive meds every 8 hours or he can't even stand up.

11:06 pm

I have to head out. The astonishing Tom says hello to the amazing Bruce, btw. We have to get these guys together for a bake-off sometime! :-D

11:07 pm

man... i don't know if i could judge the fabulousness

11:08 pm

I know, but it could be so much fun to try! LOL ((hugs)) gwen and tor, you went silent, so hope you are having great success with the grid. Happy Solstice to all!

11:08 pm

have fun, enjoy your time off!

11:08 pm

"see" you tomorrow [love my vacation] *poof*

11:12 pm

11:31 pm

oi + facial twitch + most of frozen h20 + vowel

11:32 pm

11:32 pm

11:32 pm

i looked up the oi8, but before i did, i decided that it sounds like one of those stupid little appliances you put on your kitchen counter that does something your oven already does.

or one of the kardasshians
