12:41 am

*hugs Kam* Good evening, dear one! How was your day? And how are you and Michael doing today?

1:29 am

His birthday today, so another nice steak dinner!

1:30 am

oh wow! *Happy birthday to your beloved!* I hope you celebrated well.

1:31 am

Weird having b-days a week apart - this year he remembered mine, yay! We just hung out and watched the Dodgers lose the World Series :(

1:32 am

the hanging out part sounds good. And glad he remembered your birthday. For next year, he should plan something fun for the two of you.

1:34 am

We usually go out, but we're so tired of local food - we cook much tastier food at home! Small towns have their drawbacks at times. We usually do something, but my body hasn't been up to much more than dealing with daily living lately...

1:35 am

then, staying home and hanging out together is just the ticket :)

1:35 am

:)

1:36 am

re nt

1:37 am

and again. Sorry, seems my fingers aren't fully awake yet

1:37 am

Time for coffee?!

1:38 am

it is. But Rob is off to work, and the logistics for making coffee myself in the early morning are not easy. First must take meds, wait for them to work, then navigate stairs.

timing things can be a pain...literally...I'm waiting for the midnight chime for my meds so they can kick in by the time I hit the bed. I hate stairs, and will never live in another place with stairs! Last time was 1980, never again.

1:40 am

sending a virtual cuppa Joe to Sprite

1:41 am

our trailer will not have stairs, and our tiny house only one to the loft/study. Sleeping on the ground floor!

1:41 am

yummmm that is a good cuppa

1:48 am

one of the many reasons we are downsizing. No more navigating stairs when in pain. Both Rob and I are so ready for that.

1:50 am

Can't imagine stairs for Michael - he had a lousy knee replacement a few years back, and can't do stairs at all...so glad we don't have to deal with them. Are you ok?

1:51 am

I am fine :) Bit tense, of course... hoping that today the realtor will call us and say to sit down because he got a stunning offer for our house :D

1:55 am

Glad you're fine! Waiting on an offer is no fun. We're half talking about getting out of California if the election doesn't help the current "climate."

1:55 am

We were both born and raised here...

1:56 am

ah man, that is a really tough thing, having to move because of politics... ugh :(

1:57 am

The taxes here have gone crazy, and I had no idea what ads were on the TV until we started watching the Series...people are saying bridges are going to collapse if we repeal a gas tax...just makes me roll my eyes - those taxes were for public transportation, not road repair!

1:58 am

people often talk without having the slightest idea what about :(

1:58 am

I hate election cycles! Everyone lies it seems

1:59 am

politicians = professional liars. Sorry, cannot see it any other way. Telling the stories they think will get them elected, then go around and do something very different the moment they are in power.

2:04 am

Our local elections are the most important to me - county level...we're not in a city, and have a chance to get two new supervisors and keep a good sheriff, and the polls look good...won't know until after the election though. The biggie is Calif governor, and I'll leave that there...the man that wins will 'do his thing'

2:04 am

:)

2:14 am

clue for the 2nd st8 plz

2:14 am

fireflies. Good biggies today! I hope you will sleep well, Kam.

2:15 am

WTG, Sprite! Have a great day!

2:15 am

hiya movie ma man! Start with the first 5 of road, then make a past tense.

2:15 am

Movieman, sorry, don't have yet

2:15 am

to you all, a blessed day and a peaceful night. *leaves a big hug in chog for rose to find*

2:16 am

ty spritey....

4:30 am

Okay first run through and I have exactly 80 words left to find.Happy babbling everyone!

5:18 am

Sprite I just missed you have a good day

6:29 am

I had no clue that do7/40 was a word. Amusing. : D

6:30 am

Hello Molly

6:31 am

Hi there Ruby. How is today so far?

6:32 am

Better than yesterday -- only 3 people this AM

6:32 am

Better than yesterday is a good start : )

6:32 am

I'm here for a little while

6:33 am

Hello Bichon, how are yu doing?

6:36 am

Okay, I just got the 9. I'm detecting a theme here. : D

6:38 am

theme?

6:39 am

The do7 and the fo9 : D

6:52 am

good morning all

6:52 am

I must have the wrong do7

6:52 am

I don't have the fo9

6:52 am

on another unrelated note I am getting better at parallel parking

6:53 am

Good for you Peri. That is not something I excel at.

6:54 am

I have no choice here :( and they are doing work on my street and I had to move my car

6:54 am

I bet if I was forced to do it on a regular basis, I would get better at it.

6:55 am

you would

6:55 am

help with that fo9 pls

6:55 am

or the do7

6:56 am

fo9 often has "Tom" in front of it. It's a plural

6:56 am

tyty Molly

6:57 am

The do7 looks like a word that means a religion devoted to dumb birds

6:57 am

nice clue, ty

6:57 am

ty Molly now that is a silly word

6:57 am

Hence, my feeling that there is a goofy word theme going on

6:57 am

silliest word, ever!

6:58 am

did you find the do7/32? Another silly word

6:59 am

yes ruby

7:00 am

nbt, nbs, 117 left andl'm starving

7:00 am

See you later

8:25 am

You too.

8:27 am

i have never had anyone reply no thanks people usually just dont answer that felt kinda abrupt

8:28 am

My goal is to pass halfway, not to finish. So I find what I can and that is sufficient for me.

8:28 am

2 sweaters, Bathrobe, yeti socks roaring fire, space heater, 3 blankets and l'm almost warm

8:29 am

Get closer tot he fire, ruby.

8:29 am

L'm between the fire and the little space heater.

8:30 am

Sounds wonderful.

8:31 am

And, of course, mybig furry friends nearby.

8:33 am

Plus 30 mg of morphine LOL Paradise!

8:34 am

Whatever it takes to be comfortable.

8:36 am

Scrabs, Mr. Bich's great niece stopped eating and her HR was down to 30. Does that seem psychological?

8:43 am

No, that is a VERY low HR.

8:44 am

Hypothyroidism. Anorexia nervosa. Dysrhythmia.

8:44 am

Does not eating haveanything to do with it?Her father is very hard on her

8:44 am

Parent are divorced

8:45 am

Is she extremely thin? Not eating much at all? How old is she?

8:46 am

11. They live in NC. I got the story from her gma

8:47 am

Depression could cause lack of eating. Extreme anorexia can cause dysrhythmias. Is she hospitalized?

8:49 am

Currently, yes. I don't know when she is going home. Father is toxic to her.

8:52 am

I am relieved that she is in the hospital.

8:52 am

8:59 am

10:13 am

Me? PC? you have to be kidding me

10:14 am

:D

10:14 am

:)

10:14 am

I was thinking those old time, crocheted bathroom sets should be called doilets. You know, the ones with the hat to cover the extra roll of toilet paper?

10:14 am

my grandmother made those

10:14 am

People like Ru and I thrive on being "non politically correct" : D

10:14 am

agree, Molly

10:15 am

I have one my grandmother made

10:15 am

I don't have a politically correct bone in my body

10:18 am

No need to be so sternum Ru : P

10:18 am

I'm just glad I didn't have a typo with correct

10:25 am

There are a lot of politically erect bones, just ask any call girl in DC.

10:26 am

yeah.. really

10:27 am

slier

10:27 am

shoot

10:27 am

sorry

10:31 am

hi again. im so bored today it's not even funny

10:31 am

i hate work days like this - I have 8 million things I could be doing at home....

10:31 am

I'm never bored

10:32 am

you would be if you worked here! lol

10:32 am

oh.

10:32 am

maybe that's true

10:32 am

I always wanted to be a teacher though.. just didn't work out for me

10:33 am

im struggling so hard....my student is going to fall on his FACE tomorrow on a test... I have prompted, pushed, cajoled, all I could.....its the natural consequence of HIS actions, but hard for me to see all the same

10:34 am

I cant want him to succeed more than he wants to - that formula does not work, sadly

10:34 am

true

10:34 am

no enabling

10:34 am

beyond a point that is

11:22 am

boneheads in D.C.

11:22 am

are you still teaching that wine class at the college, ru?

11:22 am

hello,eeverybody

11:23 am

l've been listenibg to requiem masses for two days and it helps assuage some grief

11:24 am

how so ruby?

11:24 am

l,find it soothing and appropriate

11:24 am

gentlest of hugs ruby - music is such a great channel for processing emotions

11:25 am

no synagogue in Annecy and the little Catholic chuc in my village is closed.

11:25 am

Church*

11:26 am

really sad times, ruby

11:27 am

And impossible to even discuss my feelings with local friends and in French, to boot

11:27 am

There are Israelis who refuse to call it a synagogue. They call it a Jewish center

11:27 am

there is a car making the news over here, with a DISGUSTING thing written on it's rear windshield -- cries for the FBI to get involved are growing. What on earth has this country become? I'm so sad

11:28 am

l think that's taking secularism too far.

11:28 am

it is moving world wide, trish... brazil is the last to fall, wonder if germany will be next with merkel stepping down

11:30 am

sometimes it feels like we've entered like the darkest timeline

11:30 am

lt's terrifyibg, a friend of my sister ho went through the Holocust sys it was just like this in Germany when she was a little grl

11:31 am

I'd like to move to New Zealand

11:31 am

prob can, bich - one of the easiest places to

11:34 am

I don't think they let foreigners immigrate

11:34 am

I looked at it bc it is one of the few places that gives full reciprocity on my license

11:34 am

L Don't think there is any country that likes Jeews.

11:35 am

Israel

11:36 am

l have a very close friend here who, even knowing that l'm a Jew, is convinced that all of French finance is controlled by Jews

11:36 am

fo 9/72, pls

11:37 am

l find it shocking, but l love her anyway

11:37 am

People become what they learn from their families

11:37 am

but where does it stop?

11:38 am

and now the president is giving for permission for the worst kind of behavior

11:38 am

My daughter is married to a man of Ukranian heritage.They on't say it to me directly, but it is implied

11:38 am

like what, Trif; l haven't watcched the news yet

11:40 am

I just meant in general, ruby - he does not condemn the neo nazis, calls them "very fine people" cuddles up to and coddles dicatators calls other countries "shit holes" calls women "dogs" says the special olympics is "very hard to watch" - it is despicable.

11:40 am

My family, both ssides, are from there. My grandmother experienced pogroms in her shtetl, but came to NY in 1902

11:41 am

woof, l hope l look like a chow

11:41 am

mostly he is distraught that the bomb scares and this synagogue shooting have screwed up his campaigning... "distractions" he called the bombs

11:42 am

all l can say is VOTE!

11:42 am

i think a real low point was when he publicly admitted he thought of cancelling his latest useless rally, because his hair got messed up, due to him having to stand in the rain and talk to reporters about the synagogue shooting. His. Main. Concern. Was, His. Hair.

11:44 am

and this quote “Republicans are doing so well in early voting, and at the polls, and now this ‘Bomb’ stuff happens and the momentum greatly slows" bomb stuff?

11:44 am

I have given up waiting for him to hit bottom. There is no bottom with him

11:44 am

he is such a classic narcissist that it would be funny if it wasn't scary - he just can't help himself, a true personality disorder

11:44 am

Right on all you guys!

11:45 am

Sitting over here in England as an onlooker seeing most of the game, I find it impossible to like Trump. The man is a boor.

11:45 am

i think what boggles my mind the most is the vast number of (seemingly) intelligent and well-educated people who STILL support him - i know several and i am gobsmacked by their steadfast defense of him

11:46 am

There are lots of people who believe he's doing a great job

11:46 am

Absolutely! Are they deaf, dumb, and blind??

11:46 am

the challenge is that each side sees different news... there is no common "truth" - it isn't different viewpoints of the same facts, it is now different "facts"

11:46 am

Yes

11:47 am

Response was to welki

hooray, america is now a blind man's zoo - read with sarcastic voice, please

11:53 am

kje, did you see the video of him the other day, getting back on air force one? Rather than closing and putting away his umbrella, he just dropped it. Dropped it. Can't even be bothered to look to see where it went. Says EVERYTHING about the man

11:55 am

the dunce who would be kind

11:55 am

ha! no... but not surprised. he is so classic

12:03 pm

that article is EXCELLENT welki! Thank you for sharing!

12:03 pm

credit to traderkate for posting it on fb

12:04 pm

i am going to vote, but, if I am being honest, i have lost confidence in the process. It is beyond tainted now. The RNC is dropping voters of the polls in the thousands. It has disenfranchised entire nations of Native Americans. The gerrymandering is ridiculous. Foreign power are knee deep in our voting process. Will my vote even count?

12:04 pm

did you see Jimmy Carter's plea in Georgia... because of the disenfranchising of black voters? It will get worse

12:05 pm

https://tinyurl.com/yadx7ov6

12:05 pm

I did see President's Carter excellent writing, yes. But the base, and the powers that be, just laugh. They don't even hide how they cheat to win anymore. As long as they win, the ends justify the means

i'm on my way too for a while - have a better afternoon

12:12 pm

xoso

12:12 pm

good morning all

12:13 pm

I've been reading the chat -- don't understand how people can be removed from the registered voters list - do you have to reregister before every election? or do lists conveniently get lost?

12:37 pm

good article welki

12:41 pm

voters get removed for moving to a new town, change in name or civilian status - or, recently, for being black in a state where a black person is running :(

12:42 pm

or, for being democrats, when the republicans are afraid of (justly) losing their seats. Perhaps if the actually represented the people they were elected to, instead of lining their own pockets, they would have less to worry about

12:44 pm

but who removes the names? aren't voting lists scrutinized? If your name is on the tax roll, how can it be removed from the voters list?

12:47 pm

if the government in power can get away with rigging the voters list, then I'd say you have a dictatorship.

12:52 pm

and you would be right. these people did not ASK to be taken off the lists - they were purged without their consent. Republicans. cheat. to. win.

12:57 pm

Hi all

6:41 pm

aaaaaaaaaaah

6:41 pm

thanks mr. z

6:41 pm

Welcome.

6:42 pm

Hello, Liz.

6:42 pm

Hi Zooz - it's been a while. How are you and how are your parents doing?

6:44 pm

I 'm plodding along. parents are not too good but not getting worse. Thanks for asking :-)

6:44 pm

How have you been keeping?

6:44 pm

Stable is good - hope they stay that way but I'm sorry that they're not too good. I'm OK thanks

6:45 pm

Hope you have a nice Summer coming up for you.

6:45 pm

how old are they zooz?

6:45 pm

Are you feeling any better, Ruru?

6:46 pm

In their 80s Ruru.

6:46 pm

hmm.. I'm glad they're hanging in there for you

6:46 pm

i'm doing a little better..

6:47 pm

Watching people get old isn't easy.

6:47 pm

Sorry to see you've not been well, Ru.

6:47 pm

shit watching myself get old isn't easy either liz :D

6:47 pm

Very true, Liz. It is heart breaking.

6:47 pm

LOL

6:48 pm

I agree Ru - where do these aches and pains come from?

6:48 pm

I got a new driver's license in the mail and said .. omg I got my grandfather's license

6:48 pm

I always feel worse when I get up than when I went to bed in the first place lol

6:49 pm

Ouch! That would've been a shock.

6:49 pm

it was pretty unnerving

6:49 pm

He was a good man as well then Ruru!

6:49 pm

funny how I look a lot like him

6:49 pm

Sorry is not was.

6:50 pm

he passed away a long time ago zooz.. he only lived to 63

6:50 pm

do 6/21 - before the first do 7/32, pls?

6:50 pm

plural of the bird

6:51 pm

nm - tried an alternate spelling of the one after it.

6:51 pm

That was do 6/24, Ru with the weird belief system after it.

6:52 pm

The DO 6/21 is the same as the dO 7/32 but just not plural

6:52 pm

Ah but I didn't have the plural

6:52 pm

And there are two of each both spelt almost the same.

6:52 pm

Some weird words in this grid.

6:53 pm

So it is DO 6,7,6,7

6:53 pm

Yes - got them now. Hadn't tried the first alternate spelling.

6:54 pm

How are the whales keeping, Liz?

6:55 pm

Fine from what I hear. We decided to give up regular whale watching this year - for a number of reasons and now it looks as though the company we used has gone bust sometime during the season. We did see some good whales from the foreshore, when we were out walking, quite close in too.

6:57 pm

Nice I would never get tired of watching them if I was there.

6:57 pm

They are absolutely amazing to see but we were away for a large part of the season this year.

6:59 pm

2 left - both 7s. I've struggled with the 7s in this grid.

7:00 pm

Well it is time for me to retire for the evening. I am reading the fourth book by Ransom Riggs called Maps of days Miss Peregrine's peculiar children.

7:00 pm

Enjoy the book and sleep well, Zooz.

7:00 pm

There are three RE 7/32

7:01 pm

Down to my last - ro 7/28

7:01 pm

*Passes around the aching joint lotion for all the elders

7:01 pm

To act in a swaggering, boisterous, or uproarious manner.

7:02 pm

Stuff the lotion, Molly. I want new body parts LOL

7:02 pm

Much appreciated, Molly, though not being called an elder! And thanks, Zooz. That gives me fireworks

7:02 pm

Congrats, Liz!

7:03 pm

|prefer to be an elder than a senior or an old fart

7:03 pm

Thanks.

7:03 pm

nbt! 97 to go

7:03 pm

Right book time for me.

7:03 pm

I can understand that, Bugs :)

7:03 pm

LOL ((Bugsaw))

7:03 pm

*poof*

7:04 pm

Any clues needed before I go?

7:04 pm

no thanks

7:05 pm

not yet thanks lizlin

7:05 pm

OK - have a good day / evening everyone.

7:05 pm

I think "elder" is a reverent term. Didn't mean to offend anyone. Especially you, Liz.

7:06 pm

Not really offended, Molly. Just joking. But that's the problem, when you can't hear or see the tone in which something is written!

7:07 pm

I'd like to be one of those elders sitting on top of the mountain where people come ask me questions and bring pizza.

7:07 pm

FW here too. Last words the tr7/8. hagd all!

7:07 pm

All good Liz. : )

7:07 pm

That sounds good. Oh well. time for me to go. Need to remake my tomato soup. Almond milk with vanilla does not make for a good tomato soup!

7:07 pm

you can call me an elder .. since I am one

7:08 pm

ewwwwwwwwwwwww liz..

7:08 pm

It was exactly that.

7:08 pm

oopsie, Liz. may the next one come out tasty.

7:09 pm

I tried soy milk in a soup once and it was really awful

7:09 pm

Who puts vanilla in unsweetened almond milk??? Answer, the local supermarket own brand.

7:09 pm

that's weird.

7:09 pm

87 to go. bbl perhaps.

7:09 pm

hagn!

7:09 pm

Milli Vanilli Maybe liz?

7:09 pm

almond milk is tastier than soy. And the soup need have enough flavor without the milk-substitue.

7:09 pm

hasta, harry

7:10 pm

I would just use milk .. although it doesn't agree with me

7:10 pm

It's only a cup of almond milk - the main flavour is tomato, pepper (capsicum) and garlic.

7:10 pm

And basil.

7:10 pm

typical, just enough to add creaminess. :)

7:11 pm

or vegetable stock

7:11 pm

Really going now. Have a good evening / day.

7:16 pm

i am not enjoying this grid....

7:16 pm

7:20 pm

7:20 pm

plural of the extinct birds

7:21 pm

I would not add almond milk to a cream soup. For me, the flavor just doesn't combine well.

7:21 pm
