Well, think kindly of us when the rest of us are schlepping to the polls on Nov. 8th.
it's just so much easier to vote early -- and my voting location is at my library, 2 blocks from my house :-)

Apparently this grid has a silent (and invisible) R.
:-)
Anyone have a clue for the Wo7?

I'm willing to try anything once :D

The Ps are most perplexing today.

sleep tight, flosey :-)
G'night, Flosey!
Posheepy!
music to shear by
well.. now that i'm attempting to do the p's (after judi's comment) I can't find my last 9
Hello kids.
hi there scrabs
Hiya, Scrabbs!
I hope things are going well with the boys still
Hi Ruru. I just saw a Native American family that moved back to the Reservation here from Sacramento.
Hey Scrabs, nice to see you here. How's Ryder doing?
Ryder underwent adenoidectomy yesterday so we spent the day at Children's Hospital. He was doing well by the evening. Tough little kid.
that's quite a radical change
The father is non-Native and from there but the mother is from here.
what does the adenoid do?
You're a good mom.
Ah. Did he snore like a warthog?
Mom got upset when she was in recovery with him for 5 minutes and he cried for me. I was summoned to console him and she left crying.
Oy. Drama.
Any idea when she is going to take custody?
Adenoids are lymphoid tissue that produce antibodies and fight infection, but if enlarged they cause mouthbreathing, snoring, and recurrent sinus infections.
then maybe she should learn how to be a mother if she'd like to see something else
Sounds like I could use that
oh.. thanks scrab..
Mom needs to make more progress. In fact, they are in Family Court this morning. Mom needs to be an adult and not an adolescent.
nope no Arnold here
:D
Adenoids shrink at about age 5 or so.
(imagines MLF with an Austrian accent)
So adenoids are not my problem
<---doesn't snore..
my 6/27?
No. In adults snoring is typically from floppy palatal tissue so CPAP is needed.
<-----does snore
<---snores, but does not have obstructive sleep apnea.
<------------ Is a lady. Only breathes loudly.
no sleep apnea for me that I know of
Hahaha, Judi!
I did not want to hear that. My real problem is "low cough threshold" I m beset with a frequent dry could which is awful when I am eating
judi I used to say I just breathe with my mouth open and my tongue on the roof of my mouth. I don't think I snore much like that anymore for some reason
No. I snore. No apnea tho. Hubby, on the other hand...
That is not good, bichon.
We are both snorers. Fun
my hubby's snoring could wake up neighborhoods of people
my 6/27?
No, it' not Scrabs. Saw an ENT and the only thing that relieves is is sucking on aa lozenge
Bichon, was your esophagus examined/scoped too?
I've been nagging hubby for years to get his tonsils, adenoids & uvula removed. He's still cowering in a corner.
Yes. It all started when I began BP med [Losartan]
You can remove a uvula?
Uvula - otherwise known as "floppy palatal tissue".
yes judi:)
But I never thought you can remove it
Not sure if it serves any real purpose. Suppose removal could end a yodeling career (which would be a benefit to all of society).
Googled it. But only for snoring.
I love yodeling lol
NOOOOOOO!
(tosses the pants with suspenders he bought for judi for xmas out)
my 6/27? ON5?
I wouldn't even know how
I love suspenders it was a fad in the 80s
I have ground to a halt here
77 left here
what do you mean ruru?
stuck with 39 to go
I am way behind all of you I have 156 left at the moment
There are other surgeries for snoring, to stiffen the palate. (awaiting pun from Ruru now)
You must wake up with an awful sore throat
but getting anything done surgically about snoring isn't relating to any real health issues is it?
I can't scrabs.. i'd be afraid of a tongue lashing
ewww
Well, could improve marital bliss
my 6/27 clue please?
bichon not making too much noise when you are sleeping could also be kind of scary
Obstructive sleep apnea is medically dangerous and can cause obesity and cardiopulmonary problems.
that's true scrab
100 words down:)
obesity how?
maybe because of whatever is obstructing certain parts of the body may be trapped ?
Sleep deprivation increases one's appetite.
And the flip side is true: obesity causes sleep apnea.
I never knew that
increasing the appetite wow
Obese kids with enlarged tonsils typically lose weight after undergoing tonsillectomy, and their behavior/school problems often resolve because they are no longer sleep deprived.
that makes senses
sense oops
and pb for me
scrab?
I am here, awaiting next patient.
do you have the my 6/27?
I have nothing from that corner M.
and no my- words.
thank you anyway I have all but that one
my 6 /27 is a constriction of the eye spelled funny
my + there are neur**** and psych**** (mental disorders)....
and then there are always The *** clues :D
got it ty ruru and pen
yw...
the balloons are out again today
balloons?
TY
hot air balloons that fly over the valley here
oh my god that is so cool! does it happen every year?
We have seen 2 hot air balloons over our nearby park in the last month, one just last week. How the boys get excited!
we've had crappy weather here for a week so they haven't been flying overhead.. they fly right over my house every morning
I have heard that in Iowa they have a balloon festival every year in either oct or nov.
hello friends
i have always wanted to go in one
hi trif
good morning trif
Hey Trif!
absolutely lovely weather here today
you should do it mlf.. or otherwise people will think you're full of hot air :D
but no balloons, sadly
ruru shhh:)
ruru have you gone up in a hot air balloon?
no.. I haven't to be honest
lots of planes and such but not balloons or gliders
Trif, we have clouds, but very mild temps
the national balloon one is in july and august in iowa
finally clear and lovely here today.. should be warm today I hear
that icon is creepy ruru
supposed to be 80 something here today
same here fan, Indian Summer
very much so bichon
:)
and the night is going to be in the 40s i think?
mlf - you can come here to WV - we have a balloon festival every year - it was just held last weekend
i don't think my husband would be interested unfortunately
is it part of another festival wv?
I have the flannel sheets on, but last night it was uncomfortably warm
No - it is just The Balloon Festival - started thursday evening and went through sunday
i sweated like crazy last night when i first went to bed
wv did you go?
We did not go - but you would see them Friday - sunday floating over the town
I bet the time on the weekend just floated by at the festival :D
just like your jokes ruru lol
what part of wv is it?
what exactly is your icon. Not really Trump
Morgantown - home of WVU Mountaineers - north central, almost on the PA border
it's a trump/Hilary computer blend
lol
ruru i noticed ewww
Imagine bill Clinton waking up to THAT in the morning
wv yes i am familiar with that area:0) and i watch the Mountaineers too
ruru ugghhh
i guess maybe every state has a hot air balloon festival. i just mentioned it to hubby and he has no interest in going in a hot air balloon and yes he is full of hot air
oyse
damn sorry
I have always wanted to go up in one - during the festivl they offer tethered and untethered rides
wv you have been there all your life and haven't done it yet??
haven't been here all of my life - cane when huband went to graduate school here in the 1970's
wv ohhhh
was he a Mountaineer fan?
not really - he does not follow sports at all - I took my sons to one football game back when they were little - follow their soccer and gymnastic teams
that's cool. i saw the women's wv soccer team on tv not long ago
are both as6's pl's?
womens socceer has been way up there in the naational rankings - higher than the mens team - granddaughter is in to gymnastics - competes on her local team but gets to be a "runner" at the WVU gymnastics meets
i have just one AS 6 - it is pl
not that i didn't think they had other sports there of course they do its just a rarity to see a women's soccer team from an area like that. The football team is so highly disregarded because of the school's size and probably where it is located
just got 2nd AS 6 - it is also a pl
i have the one located in Colorado?
or a ski resort in that state
the rifle team is the most highly ranked nationally and the first Olympic gold medal this year went to a WVU female rifle team member
yeah don't they have ot learn to use one of those in certain aras of wv?lol
most of the athletes come from outside of WV - but hunting is a popular sport here in WV - the first day of deer hunting sesson is like a state holiday
they have had issues with the mascot of wv college firing off the musket i think its called ?
i think that's why they attend the colleges there for the athletics not the academic
they aare evidently some stadiums where he/she is not allowed to fire it -
can you clue the other as6 please wv?
athletes go where they are offered scholarships
wv the mascot has been replaced so many times because they keep doing it lol
AS 6/18 - things that you have of value - pl the AS 5
true wv
ty wv right in front of me
there is a competition to be the mascot each year but they serve for one year - they also make many public appearances around the state
I finished with my last patient, must leave the reservation now, and go to our main office now for the afternoon. Enjoy the day folks.
i have ot find the other as 6/21
the woman who is now the Secretary of State for WV was the first female to be the Mountaineer.
i guess you cant just give the job to anyone
omg too funny
they have tryouts - there is a list of academic qualifications - they lead cheers to tryout during the basketball games
i have only seen the mascot walk around aim the gun and yell at times.. basically acting like an idiot lol
Fireworks! Oy. Boney fingers.
congrats judi
i would hope their would be some qualifications for the position
my husband said the youngest lawmaker who was is 17 is a female and the first one in that position anywhere
ph 4/10 is actually a word ph** i got it!

you getting snow yet, mtl?
no SN4 yet nan, and, better still, none in the long range forecast !! How about in your area nn ?
nan even...
shew
sorry...not a word...
been getting some rain and it's down to single digits in the am, but no frost yet -- unlike you, we don't usually get snow before the end of December
with climate change, that is becoming our reality here as well nan - last year, we played tennis till december !
wll never forget our first winter in mtl -- never been so cold in my life!
it only gets cold here in January; we were used to much colder winters in the past...what year was that nan ?
we lived there 1969-76
we had moved from Vancouver and only had light weight winter coats -- kids didn't own snowsuits
we had major Sn4storms in the early 70s...
we lived on Nun's Island the first 2 years and when the wind came ripping up that river....
yes -- the metro was closed down several times
yes indeed - skating on Ile Notre-Dame yielded similar wind conditions...
how are you getting back and forth -- hasn't Champlain Bridge been condemned?
there was a storm, I forget what year exactly, when even the Victoria bridge was closed and that NEVER happens...Champlain bridge is fine and they are building a new one right next to it
oh - good -- saw something on the news not long ago -- maybe it was just no heavy vehicles allowed any more?
yes that happens - anyway, since highway 30 has been completed, most trucks avoid montreal altogether...
last word wo7: add the loch creature to a sad thing.. hagd, all! poof
hi and bye Aloy
and tks for the WO7
bbl for last 48 - nice talking to you nan - happy babblings all - poof
haven't been back since we left so wouldn't recognize the place any more I'm sure. The Nun's Island development was brand new when we moved there and we bought a house in Dollard in '71.
ty aloy and grats :-)
you would not recognize Nun"s island nan - it is still developping and has a few rotary traffic circles...and with the construction of the accesses to the new Champlain bridge, it's confusing as hell...
no doubt, mtl
bye for now nan - real poof
taking a break as well - need to get a few things in motion around here

slogging thru the s's -- good grief -- they're neverending!
Hi all
hey liz :-)
Just noticed what you mean about all the s's!
it's insane!
Difficult grid
I'm liking this grid. 66 to go, haven't listed yet.
Just listed with 50 left.
impressive, harry!
and liz!
Funny how different grids appeal to everyone. The words just haven't jumped out at me with this one!
I like a grid with no Cs :)
c's aren't my fave either :-)
Are you having a good sukkot, Harry?
very nice liz. crazy warm weather for october, but it's supposed to get cold again tomorrow
That's good - as long as the rain holds off!
Also don't like c's - nor p's very much.
rain tomorrow night :)
I hate Gs
Perhaps it won't happen. It rained for an hour here on Monday night but OK apart from that, though rain is forecast.
send me all your rain, liz -- we've had 87 days of 90 degrees this year, and no rain in the last 3-4 weeks -- PARCHED
gotta go put kiddos to sleep - bbl!
bye, harry :-)
We don't get much rain here, though we're heading into summer now, which is our rainy season.
Bye Harry.
Do you have water restrictions, Une?
no . . .
We have an average limitation of 200 litres per day - which is fine for us but we've had some stricter limitations when there's been more of a drought here.
I've been keeping my hydrangeas and azaleas alive by the hardest! The yard itself is a dust bowl
At least you're managing to keep them alive! Must look lovely even in a dust bowl! Or perhaps especially in a dust bowl!
well, right now it's fall, so they're just green but they ARE pretty in the spring :-)
We took out a hedge bordering our front drive this year and we're gradually planting seedlings - marigolds and dahlias and we've also planted 3 jasmines. Can't wait to see it all in flower.
ooohhh, the jasmines will smell sooo good! :-)
what color dahlias did you plant?
We had jasmine in the UK and we've wanted to plant some ever since we moved here.
Mixed colours.
cool :-)
Oranges and yellows mostly, I think.
When my mom went to England many years ago, she lost her mind over the rows of giant rhododendron along the country roads! :-)
Can you clue the pe 5/6 combo at the end, pls?
she was an amazing gardener :-)
is that the basil sauce sing. and plural?
Love rhododendrons - my parents lived near Wisley RHS in Surrey - they were beautiful.
No, after that. After the domestic dogs and cats.
oh, still working on those :-)
OK.

Thanks :)

hah.....it was about 150 miles east of Quebec City.....they spent a few days in Montreal...
no mmm's allowed yet -- these batches are for Christmas -- like to let it cure for a couple of months.
Don't know much of that area, Pen -- we spent most of our time in the Laurentians or the eastern townships when we lived in Montreal
it's near Rimouski.....nice area....cheap rental right on the beach....
good fishing around there too, isn't there?
there goes the buzzer...
i don't know....used to dig clams there....but now that place is a beautiful national park...
oh - think I'm getting confused with the restigouche
don't know anything about restigouce....
shortbread out and supper in -- better get going have 25 min. til chow time
the national park is the Parc du Bic....
