Does anyone know where Rose is? Haven't seen her for a while.

She was taking a holiday in Queensland - would assume she's home now because borders between Queensland and other states have been closed but I don't know.
Thanks much, Liz.

whoo hoo! Hello all. I am in the grid today! Th 6 is my real last name. (Oh no, should I not have revealed that?)
Well that got an underwhelming reaction
Can anyone please clue the A in the 4th column?
Hello? Looks like I am alone here.
I'm hear but I've only just started the game. Haven't gpt that A yet.
Oh yes, I have now. It's ak 4,8. Clue - ak plus double vowel.

Good Thursday morning, kiddos. Sigh. The April vacation has been cancelled. Color me officially depressed.
I'm sorry, Judy. Such a dissappointment.
Gumble. Hopefully, we'll be able to reschedule for September or October... of this year.
Grumble, that is.
Sorry Judi, but good call. I think it is unwise to be traveling until this virus scare is ebbing down. When we are all supposed to be staying isolated, it seems to be risky and somewhat foolish to be traveling. Unless it is for something urgent.
On the up side, I didn't have to wait on hold forever. Online cancelations made it easy.
clue for le7 pls?
spotted cat

Oh I did the on hold thing for you. Don't even try to get in touch with FedEx these days. Unless you have about 45 minutes to kill, while listening to their "FedEx loves you" recording.
Well, love points for Travelocity and IHG (Holiday Inn) Rewards. Just a few clicks and my vacation was crushed.

There are a lot of weird words today.
hi all
there were a lot of weird ones yesterday
hey peri
bzz I; just found a weird word but it is legit
Morning, peri
hi peri
I didn't finish yesterday. Was in such a pissy mood...
it was late at night when I finished, but I thought about not. if I hadn't have sat down to watch tv I wouldn't have.
i didn't either i got frustrated with that grid
i gtg will be back...
same here mlf
it always annoys me that eker isn't a word. if you eked something out you are an eker.
also from yesterday, if learnt is a word, why isn't ruint?
Yes, I hate the pt T...
it's kinda prevalent in appalachian english
and if you L a door or window, why can't you redo it
well, 32 left. break time.
Bea, all I have to do is glance at the news and I get in a pissy mood. I am isolating from that now.
I haven't been watching the news either. I thought I would enjoy the day in my sewing room. It always makes me feel better and grounds me in a way. But, yesterday. every thing I touched went to crap...
I don't know anything about it but the main page of my computer posted links to online book clubs. I think its from Time magazine
peri are you still here?
played tennis yesterday. first time almost two weeks. I am now going to take two weeks off and then look at virus spread. There are now several in my county and a bunch 10 miles away.
good morning all
guess who's back. back again.
you come back more than Arnold does hokie
um...george burns?
don't call it a comeback, I've been here for years
no eminem fans here?
not me ..i hate rap
you only get one shot, don't miss your chance
so I guess you didn't get the LL Cool J one either
opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo
:)
All I know about LL Cool J is that it stands for Ladies Love Cool James
thank you, moo, for playing along :D
that is correct Molly!
does anyone have the 7s?
rap, rap. is that like the knock, knock jokes?
and ru, the full lyric is "guess who's back. back again. shady's back. tell a friend." in case you want to reply next time. ;-)
I don't like most rap, but I do like Eminem and I love Cool James.
:D
ooh, name that angel of Charlie in the grid today
good morning, everyonek :)
morning, nank
le 7. pa 7 - both regular words

Guess who's back...guess who's back...guess who's back...guess who's back....guess who's back...guess who's back.....
THANK YOU CAR!
Nobody wants to see Marshall no more
they want Shady, I'm chopped liver
Your kids cringe and run from the room when you do this, right?
No, they laugh hysterically! Especially when its my husband doing it!
LOL, they're usually trapped in the car if it happens
my oldest son, who was born in 2000, loves 90s rap/hip hop
Yaaaaasssss! Us too!
my brother called me once and made me sing the chorus of Lose Yourself to his daughter because she didn't believe I knew it.
Nice!
yes, I just typed in parakeet even though I know there's no 8
Well, I get the laughing hysterically. It is pretty comical to see people "of a certain age" try to pull off rap.
true
Sarah Palin killed it on the Masked Singer!
omg, that was crazy
so good!
and FTR, I know all the words to that song (I Like Big Butts). one time on a girls trip to a 10k we were on a shuttle bus and that came on and the driver was laughing hysterically that I was singing along.
I cannot lie!!!!
good thing you picked the least offensive part of the song for here ;-)
Busta Move is my jam
hey don't just stand ther
layin' on the beach perpetrating a tan...great line!
just curious, car - how old are you?
52
yeah, that has to be one of the best lines ever
we are close, I thought so with your taste in music :D
keep in mind, I am sitting here listening to classical music and prepping hymns for church service on Sunday. I have a broad range...
me too!
There are only a few styles of music I don't care for...hardcore hip hop is one of them
and techno is another
same, I don't like current rap or hip hop
are your churches still open? Our services have been online only for since last week.
but it is fine for those who like it...just not for me
also don't like techno or electronica or bdm or whatever
Only online service through may 31st
you want it, you got it...
My favorite station in the car is Hair Nation
ooh i do.! LCD soundsystem! WIlliam Orbit!
I also don't care for current pop singers. they all sound the same in trying to sound really cool.
Hair Nation is great.
are you the choir director car?
I'm the parish administrator at an Episcopal church and Lay Leader at my own methodist parish
There is a video of Beyonce and Tina Turner singing 'Proud Mary'. It is such a contrast...it is effortless from Tina and looks so forced from Beyonce...but this just my opinion.
oh -- duties differ I guess -- as choir director it was my duty to choose hymns and an anthem to suit whatever topic the minister chose for his sermon.
* or the time of year
We have a music director at the Episcopal church, but I am putting them into an online bulletin for the online Sunday service.
I just saw a video the other day of Miley Cyrus/Jimmy Fallon recreating Dolly/Kenny Islands in the Stream, and I thought the same, Dolly looked effortless and Miley, who's a great singer, looked like she was forcing it.
When I sing at my "home" church, usually every other Sunday, my singing partner and I pick something that matches the sermon or the special dat
* day
As he teases me, I have a more secular taste than he. I "hear" a lot of mainstream songs are songs about God and my walk with him.
oh, just saw the LCD Soundsystem reference
hi mool
I think a lot of them are, car
They just hit me a different way; for example "Bridge Over Troubled Water" always reminded me of Jesus. I asked my mum that when I was little - if they song was like Jesus
now I have Proud Mary stuck in my head
hey ML :)
I have Clair de Lune playing but Eminem in my head...CONTRAST!!!!
Stats for the A in the middle column please?
Clair de Lune is my all-time fave classical song
I do not have that one yet
The Moldau is my absolute favorite followed by Clair de Lune.

I am sometimes pronunciationally challenged :)
my favourite word in today's grid was the kl 6 -- hadn't heard that one for a long time
not pronounce exactly the same, but spelled similarly
thdx for the clue nan, didn't have that one
not a lot of kl6ing going on now I guess
exterminate! exterminate! dr. who villains in grid!

DA 6 clue pls?
except before this i heard he like, cut hospital funding and stuff so ...
begins with not light
gee, nan- can an american become president of canada? I thought canasa had a prime minister?
DA6 rhymes with Meghan married to Harry
ty hurshy
actuall I wouldn't mind someone like him as PM either -- at least he can speak to the point and has a vocabulary of more than 10 words
nice to see what high standards we hold politicians too, lol
i would never suggest anyone to govern a country in which i did not live.
i wonder how Albert Einstein would have done if he had accepted the author to be PM of Israel
*offer
wow my brain is off
Can it TO --- are you trying to censor the chat or something? I am as entitled to an opinion as you and like most of the world I think Trump is an idiot
indeed, you are.
these are tense times.
hurshy, that is interesting. i did not know that fact. i don't know much about einstein except for the science.
as I have said before sometimes I hate looking for 4 letter word
i mean i think he was wise to refuse, but, it would be interesting
wors
words
is that KL6 the only KL word?
got it
yes it is hurshy
the scientists i know are not interested in politics. just science. to the exclusion of nearly everything else.
yes sorry, TO - that was over the top -- just so tire of seeing Trump every time I turn the TV on saying that everything is beautiful or perfect and that he is doing such an amazing job when all of his fumbling around is going to cause thousands of deaths.
yes hurshy -- want some koffee?
icky no!
my scientist calls me every night with his analysis of the pandemic. srsly. it's not a coping mechanism for emoition, just the scientific way of looking at the world.
what's their current perspective TO??
like Spock - capable of being simultaneously fascinated by something while still recognizing that it is terrible.
moo..points out timeframe for china...analyzes PA and MD, with MD clustered meaning common denomonator to cases like a convention...
truthfully, moo, i often put the phone on speaker and lay it down *redfaced*
PA and MD meaning... Pennsylvania and Maryland?
yes
ok, just checking cause Physician's Assistant and doctor could also work :D
I do wonder whether China isn't a perfect comparative though
one can only listen to the stats for so long
PE5 clue pls?
I'm already lost. I don't know what "with MD clustered meaning common denomonator to cases like a convention..." means
well, they are a totalitarian state. no one here would tolerate an armed guard at the door.
Being more authoritarian, they were able to lock things down - once they did react, not sure we have the willpower here to do the same thing
right
St. Pe5 at the Pearly Gates
ours are saying that the only way to exercise control right now is massive testing and social distancing. The disease is like to keep recycling until we have a vaccination and an effective drug treatment. So no immediate fix I guess.
ty hurshy
Of course lots of unknowns...no idea whether there will be a seasonal effect or not, although the fact it's spreading around the world in a variety of climates makes one wonder
means analyst ponted out MD cluster began in Howard county with folks who had attended some emeting or convention? honestly, i do not keep track of what happens in md and get my news second hand
so cannot verify
they don't have any cases in Antarctica!
moo: exactly/ ask rose
that's only because the penguins resist getting tested hursh
Antarctica invented social distancing :D
lol
does Alaska?
he has been in antartica. replaces someone who went nuts from the year long hitch in virtual isolation
that really did make be lol nan
suited him fine. scientists.
yes alaska has cases
:)
Meanwhile Mother Russia has only an increase in pneumonia cases.
hi jaxx
of course.
Hi, MLF. Did you see Putin in his full protective gear?

bye cyber
bichon a place where skiers stay
head to toe in protective suit with helmet. We had our scientists wearing something similar during the Novochok attack. It is only pneamonia thoughh
Just got ack from Costco Impressed by he sanitiing jo they are doing
ty MLF
bichon were you able to buy anything?
yw
hand sanitiser is advertised here at £32 for 50ml
just use soap jaxx
thanks - I was looking for ch6
I do but people stockpiling sanitiser at £1 a bottle have brought out the profiteers.
chard
I think the US was a little late implementing a ban on entry to people from infected countries like Italy and China.
oops
cle for the 2nd le 5/18 pls?
clue
You really don't need hand sanitizer. Wash your hands frequently and wear latex gloves in public places.
i agree with that too
Bich, i heard about that
Latex gloves are still readily available. I guess people are more concerned about having clean butts than they are about contact germs on their hands. : D
strange people
my nurse friends say droplets are the biggest concern, virus on inamimate stuff dies off .
i recommend jergens hand wash- lovely and moisturizing. hand sanitizer is as hard on hands as on germs.
clue for the 2nd le5/18 pls?
and readily available at dollar tree.
it's time to go outaide and see if it's dry enough to rake. later
bye owl
Hand sanitizer is brutal on my hands. I try to stick to frequent washing.
i think we will have a couple of months of this at least, until well into may. trying to find little pleasures in this slowed down life.
also trying to get my $ back from the ymca, who is charging my credit card whilst they are not open!
I got a message from my gym this morning asking if I would be able to pay April. at least they are providing live camps online.
not sure how to answer
Your gym is open?
my hands have aged several years in the last couple of weeks
no, they're not open, but we're still paying
my hands are crackalackin
sounds like a great business model
If they are at risk of going out of business, then there might or might not be an impact to you.
I'm able to afford to pay my house cleaners even while I'm not having them come. For me it's about trying to share some of my good fortune with those who are more at risk. But at the same time, i''m not supporting other ones like restaurants, dry cleaners etc which are to varying extents also at risk
the whole reason I joined was to be social with my friends who were already members. they are providing live online camps right now but I can find plenty of workouts on youtube for free.
the follow-up questions were "can you help another member out" and "do you need help with April fee"
that's confusing
Were they clear in why they were asking?
I did see someone complaining the other day on their instagram about having to pay for a gym that isn't open. I'm guessing people have told them they can't pay right now because they aren't working, etc.
Is it a commercial enterprise, or non-profit?
it is a franchise of a boot camp chain, so commercial. I need to find my contract and see if it addresses any closures beyond their control
my son said his college dorm contract specifically addresses pandemics. what foresight those lawyers had.
can someone tell me the point total of the le7?
nm
finally saw it!
the y poses it as a donation to help others. i already pay $^0 per month and work out with many who pay less than that for a year. they say if you continue to pay, they will credit you with one month free. it's not a contract reltaionship; you buy in with a one time fee then pay monthly
$60+ per month
hhm, leerpad didn't work
Oh God, let's not be cutesy about social distancing. McDonald's has revamped the golden arches logo to be two separate arches with distance between them.
that seems stupid to me Molly
hi all. thinking of going for a walk in a bit
howdy all
mopped kitchen floor and vacuumed bed room carpet so far this week
may vacuum living room carpet tomorrow
carpet's still on my list
ahahahah. Molly, that's hilarious. Not gonna make me drive to McD's, but funny.
pets and carpet....
don't eat any fast food
I thought they started out as separate arches?
The logo has always been in the shape of an M. Now the two humps of the M are separated. Pretty lame idea.
that's funny. i have been receviving all sorts of memes. most of them deal with overeating. :/
The response has been scathing.
not the logo, but the fact that they came up with it
the whole world has gone mad. face it. it was teetering on the brink before...;)
It only exacerbates the madness, Owl, to have the buffoonery that is coming out of DC.
hahah. watching original series Star Trek and someone just offered to shake hands; Scotty, Spock, and Bones just stared at him like "what the crap is this". Which is hilariously appropriate now but I wonder why they were so blatant about it then.
clue for lone A anybody?
jesdraggon... props to Gene Roddenberry for being so ahead of his time

On a positive note (to keep things balanced) many fashion houses are participating in the move to help make masks for health care workers.

very weird to see the selection of missing items in the supermarket. no brown rice, but lot of white
that is weird, when white tastes so much better
I only use brown in the house, but the kids all prefer white :)
i prefer white also
just like they would all love white bread if I would buy it
I prefer white, but eat rown because of diabetes
I'm calling it - going to the list so I can get on with my to-do list. got some mail-order trees today that I need to plant.
For people looking for something to do, check with your local county web sites for lists of ways you can volunteer or donate. Considering unemployment is at an all time high, people are going to need help sooner than later. We only get beyond this together, folks.
pa 7/36, pls
i think i've kind of over donated already...
bichon - first part of thing you jump out of a plane with + a dog or cat
There are things you can do that do not require your physical presence. Like ordering non-perishable food on line and having it sent to your local food bank or food pantry.
Ty hokie
That's great Ru. Very nice of you.

or anywhere
ty carla
pick up trash on the roadside?
I don't know how it is set up in your state Harry. Here, I found things by doing research on how to help in my county. They need drivers to help deliver food to seniors, donations to food banks and volunteer helping centers, etc. Also people to shop for seniors.
I will search - can't find anything by county.
I'd imagine the school would not want to accept liability of sending them in-person anywhere
I tried to volunteer with my county and got turned down because of my age... :-(
Natasha, you are in my area. Take a look here: bethesdahelp.org/
I've donated already to Manna but this looks like a nice idea too
bye all - gotta go do the compost
fireworks! quite a few I should have gotten without the list. I will try harder tomorrow. now off to do things but as always will check back in. love this community here.
yay hokie!
That is nice Natasha. I think anything positive we can do tips the scales towards the positive.
We in our comfortable middle-class houses are surrounded by a sea of need. I live cheek by jowl with Langley Park, where the needs are overwhelming.
So we do what we can. We're not rich but we're certainly a helluva lot richer than they are.
FW. I join carla in blushing at some of the obvious 4,4s I had to list to find. But the sun is shining here so I think it's time for the daily dog perambulation around the block.
yay natasha!
just got this from a friend - if you don't think history repeats itself, read on: A LETTER FROM F. SCOTT FITZGERALD, QUARANTINED IN 1920 IN THE SOUTH OF FRANCE DURING THE SPANISH INFLUENZA OUTBREAK. Dearest Rosemary, It was a limpid dreary day, hung as in a basket from a single dull star. I thank you for your letter. Outside, I perceive what may be a collection of fallen leaves tussling against a trash can. It rings like jazz to my ears. The streets are that empty. It seems as though the bulk of the city has retreated to their quarters, rightfully so. At this time, it seems very poignant to avoid all public spaces. Even the bars, as I told Hemingway, but to that, he punched me in the stomach, to which I asked if he had washed his hands. He hadn’t. He is much the denier, that one. Why, he considers the virus to be just influenza. I’m curious of his sources. The officials have alerted us to ensure we have a month’s worth of necessities. Zelda and I have stocked up on red wine, whiskey, rum, vermouth, absinthe, white wine, sherry, gin, and lord, if we need it, brandy. Please pray for us. You should see the square, oh, it is terrible. I weep for the damned eventualities this future brings. The long afternoons rolling forward slowly on the ever-slick bottomless highball. Z. says it’s no excuse to drink, but I just can’t seem to steady my hand. In the distance, from my brooding perch, the shoreline is cloaked in a dull haze where I can discern an unremitting penance that has been heading this way for a long, long while. And yet, amongst the cracked cloudline of an evening’s cast, I focus on a single strain of light, calling me forth to believe in a better morrow.
Wow...
Very nice. (So, turns out Hemingway was not just a terrible writer, he was a terrible person as well.)
I love what they stocked up on. : D No mention of food.
That letter is a parody that was published on McSweeny's. https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-fac\ntcheck-quarantine-fitzgerald-lette/fal\nse-claim-this-is-a-1920-letter-from-sc\nott-fitzgerald-in-quarantine-during-th\ne-spanish-influenza-idUSKBN21733X
Name that proper noun: Italian fashion house
prada
Yep
nicely spotted, origami!
:-)
ha! I said earlier the devil wears this but no one guessed
Good one, hokie
Hemmingway was a jerk and an alcoholic.. but i wouldn't say he was a terrible writer.
I think he was a great writer. Many do.
it's been a long while since i read one.. but i enjoyed the books of his I did read, like Old Man and the Sea, and a Moveable Feast.
i did read stuff about him being a big asshole though
Gotta use tiny url people, or the link won't work. https://tinyurl.com/wsfs5wz
It is amusing that the letter was a parody. I thought it was like he was making fun of his own writing style.
It is amazing what gets passed around the internet without being checked. That kind of reinforces the idea that you should not believe everything that is being sent and posted these days.
I should probably go change into my daytime pj's. It's 1:15 here. I have had a preview of my retirement wardrobe and it ain't pretty.
i'm not sure what a retirement wardrobe would look like
In my case, pj's and yoga pants :D
i only wear PJ's in the middle of a really cold winter.. i'm afraid i've never owned any yoga pants
(please summer get here asap)
i read that whatever is on the internet is 100% true, and I believe it because I read it on the internet
:)
i really like mcsweeneys.net
(i keep getting email from the u.s. and canadian embassies telling me to self-isolate if i've traveled to either place - and to advise my friends and family to do the same)
the weeds in my back yard are hoping i come out of isolation as i've been merciless in rippnig them little suckers out of the ground
i'd think they'd want you to stay inside, so you wouldn't pluck the poor little things
I am finally almost weed-free. It was a jungle back there.
Hello friends. I am with origami - since there is no fear someone will drop by any more I am perfectly happy in pjs or track suit pants.
good thing i don't live in qualicum :D
Hi Bugs
I'd be afraid if you did own yoga pants, ru
Not under these circumstances, but I would love to get paid to stay home in my comfortable clothes.
I figure there is enough stress in the world. I can wear comfortable pants.
I dressed up for work on Tuesday, just to shake up my video calls a little
You looked very dapper, dan
has anyone read Seveneves? There's a v important word associated with that in here
I haven't, atalante
I admit to being a day pj wearer. usually after my workout and shower I'll just put pj's on. still in workout clothes right now though since I planted some trees.
hi Ata. I have not read that
hi all
Hi peri
Origami, are you and Dan business colleagues?

No, Molly. I saw his photo on Facebook.

An electrical unit, Peri.
I never read Bridget Jones's Diary but I seem to recall she said v. and v.v. for very
faPGE
damn it
Hi Wht. How is the Wht family faring with our new circumstances?
So she said "v"? Like some people actually say "OMG"?
is ru here? would like to ask a wine question.
Somehow "I'm v glad to meet you" doesn't seem to convey the sentiment. : D
We are all doing well. Mrs wht is now off work until May. We are practicing for when she retires. So far it is going well.
I meant she wrote that in her diary. seems like I rem. ads where she would say out loud what she was writing.
Our kids and grandkids are also doing well and working from home.
Glad to hear things are well in your homestead, wht.
Well, for today, anyway.
go ahead TO
ty. is there anything special about carol shelton wild thing old vine zinfandel?
not really.. it's a bigger styled zin.. moderately high alcohol too as i remember. it should be a nice wine for BBQ or red meats
rehi
i saw it paired with a chianti in an auction. the bottle was signed, as if that makes a difference.
when i saw the bid, i began to wonder.
ty
it's called the wild thing because she ferments it with wild yeasts.. she makes a ton of it.. so it's not really expensive
oh, the magic words revered by hippies everywhere.- wild yeast! i knew someone who homebrewed beer and woudl o into the basement to capture yeast from the air!
I've heard of sourdough bread makers doing that
Reminds me of my old homebrewing days. We also made sourdough bread and once ended up inadvertently making sourdough beer. Not to be repeated...
they are having a hard time fundraising in this environment. they did have a house rental in nappa, though.
i have as well. does that mean there is yeast everywhere?
yes.. it's ambient
er, beer does not sound very good.
well, it's competing with the dust for airspace here. except in the new normal, not.
It wasn't Have you read about the guy on high dose antibiotics who ended up with brewers yeast in his gut? His body manufactured alcohol whenever he ate simple carbs. Called "autobrewery symdrome."
i HAVE heard of that malady. freaky.
my neighbor has a coors gut.. is that related?
well, I have ringworm on my arm right now and my dr said it was yeast that is just everywhere
interesting.
wow.. that's odd hokie
is that why they tell you not to drink while taking antibiotics?
Give fungi an inch...
it's the yeast you can do
Actually, I don't think alcohol is contraindicated for most antibiotics. Though, ladies, if you've been on antibiotics, you might learn more about yeast than you ever wanted. Know what I mean...

My sourdough starter is made and I am doing a germination test on all of my old vegetable seeds. That's the extent of my productivity for the day.
And got the A, with the help of Google.
i also have some old seeds, esp lettuce, which i've never grown but i think it likes this cool weather
lettuce is a winter/spring crop here. I will be planting some kale, chard and collards which tolerate the heat better.
i will just throw it in a large planter and see. it's not like i won't have plenty of time to wait.
have herb seeds, too. they worked well last year. and i have saved marigold seeds.
planted some lettuce in my starters in the house earlier
does it like sandy soil?
i have no sand
The lettuce I have grown does fine without sand.
well, seeds were free, so why not? ty. i want this grid to be over. not feeling well.

Bye Pen, hope you remain in good health.
I'm so tired of "stay safe" : D
le7, please?
spotted feline, Marc
thanks
agreed, try and stay healthy is better than stay safe
I prefer "may the odds be ever in your favor"
In my area, "stay safe" goes back to when those guys in the white van were going around shooting people. I think folks have just reverted back to it.
firewords!
turns out they weren't in a white van at all
Which is another example of how things that get spread around on the internet may or not be true.
Molly you must be in my "neck o' the woods! It was very scary and I had several close encounters, once at Michael's, at the Shell in Kensington, Crisp n Juicy in Leisure World Plaza...the final was on stopped on Gaither Road near my office while they towed their car in front of me....eerie!
is that the pair of guys shooting people out of the trunk of the car?
Yes ru
i remember that.. very scary.. i think one of them was up for parol recently
The young one still in jail and just got married
He was up for parole and got denied...
the other guy got put to death didn't he?
Hmmm now you're taxing my memory...I know he died...
well.. good riddance one way or the other i guess
We used to open our doors and duck down below then while pumping gas....as if that would have saved our behinds!
i guess Full Service wasn't an option :D
Yes I guess but it is so sad that any human being could be so sick that they would do such a thing...
no kidding.
Ahhhhhh, full service...I remember those days, lol!
he was ex-military no?
Him, I think you are correct...maybe there's an answer in his history
i'm just going from memory .. i'm not really sure
Yeah , me too...might have to google it
yep. they killed him by lethal injection
he was military
<---has a decent memory
It was a scary time here in the DC Metro area.
i bet
just got back from a short bike ride.. too cold to ride and enjoy it
Currently 78 degrees here!
We are warming up too, Une. I'm glad people with nowhere to go have nice weather to get out in.
wow
It's nuts!
in the 50's or lower here
Which is normal!
Why nuts? It's Spring. Time for temperatures like that.
with the wind blowing it's even colder right now
Molly, that's not normal for us in March
We have some days like that in early Spring. Right now we are around 54.
But we were in the 70's last week. I will take mild weather as a stress reducer for troubled times.
we were only around 60 today but my mom said they were around 78, and we are usually 5-10 warmer than them
It's crazy - it was 80 here a couple of weeks ago. Back down into the 50's. But, I'll take cool weather as long as I can get it. I detest the heat.
Me too origami!
Origami, thanks for sharing Ruby’s tribute from her son. I don’t do facebook so was pleased to be able to read it.
You're welcome, Chrissie.
*hands out manhattans*
hi folks
Hi welki. Thanks for the drink!
ahh having my nightly mixed drink.... also
made mine tonight with crown royal, but really like them with maker's mark bourbon
I had a bottle of premixed white russian,,, add ice,,, and I thought "what are you saving this for????? "
no time like the present :)
:)
i'm going to send you that bottle of tequila that's sitting in my hutch, the one with the worm in it
me? Tequila makes my clothes fall off
now, that's an old song!!
appropriately so
after that one, we can go one or two rounds of, 'jose cuervo, you are a friend of mine....'
yes.... my friend and I did the lime, throw your head back,,,, and salt ~ I might not have that in the right order..... and then next thing I know I am barefooted out side with her husband,,, looking for her
she was under a table in the dining room ~~~ of the bar we were at
oh,,, and there was 4 or 5 inches of snow
I practice social distancing when it comes to tequila.
mine was in jackson hole, wyoming - at the million dollar cowboy bar
oh - and at my kitchen table :)
Tequila does something to my brain. I have decided I am too old to go with that :D
i haven't had tequila shots in a long, long, long time. i do like the occasional tequila paralyzer, though
Good evening, or whatever you might be experiencing. Could I get the stats for the lone A please?
af6 a monster
i don't drink tequilla either ori
Good thing. Can you imagine the two of us on a tequila binge? :D
oh god.. save me
thanks mixi
the last time i drank tequilla they found me naked in a shower with a sombrero on singing "your so vain"
on the beach
We would probably be arrested. And then who we call to bail us out :D
saanich or bugs?
maybe a little less tequila next time, ru
yeah.. or more clothes
Yes, saanich or bugs would get us. Cynthia would too. She would never let me forget it, but she would do it
kr5?

Congratulations, toad
I'm heading off to paint. Have fun, folks.
Okay, I'm done mopping up all the water. Tequila all around!

I was amused by the tequila comments. Yours in particular.
Oh. True story
Nevee
Never had tequilla again after that either
