Ok, I didn't get to this yesterday but I do want to thank Molly and the rest of you lovely ladies on the menopause/dry skin hint yesterday. I thought my detergent had changed their formula but you wonderful girls made me think again and do additional research and, hey, that's probably my problem, lol. I had a procedure about 15 years ago and have not had a visible 'cycle' in that time so had/have no idea, but now have add'l info to look into to keep from digging all the skin off my body, lol. So happy Good Friday to me and Happy/Blessed Easter to all who include it in their calendars.

12:23 am

'gnight

5:43 am

looks like it has been quiet for awhile...

6:11 am

How are you feeling Phan?

6:15 am

Glad you got some insight on things amelu. Menopause started all kinds of issues for me, dry skin and dry hair just two of them. The vaseline and cotton gloves at night thing really works. Same for vaselne and cotton socks for your feet. My feet are even dryer than my hands, and I am not constantly washing them.

6:32 am

even better!

6:32 am

Thank you for asking, Molly!

6:37 am

Amelu, it is hard to know when you are starting through menopause even with a montly cycle. Glad we could help give some insight into your dry skin issue. Babble chat, helping women through menopause since 2003.

6:37 am

I'm glad you are doing so well, Phan.

6:38 am

nota note

6:38 am

Thank you. Me too. Just holding my breath about my husband getting sick...

6:44 am

anyone have a clue for the AP6?

6:49 am

a + first two of what you call someone on + first three of what you respond "you're welcome" to

6:49 am

Sorry, clumsy clue. It is a weird word

6:50 am

clumsy clues work! It is a weird word, going to look it up now...

6:50 am

Thank you!

6:51 am

Thanks, Molly.

7:03 am

Thanks Bea, I miscalculated and thought I needed 2 2 point tiles...

7:03 am

And that was just not making any sense!

7:04 am

need to take a nap... Didn't sleep great last night so.

7:15 am

good morning all

7:28 am

good afternoon!

7:30 am

Hey, Ata.

7:34 am

ata.. i don't believe i have ever thanked you for turning me on to Highland Park.. i'm a total fan.. it's one of my staple scotches in the cabinet

7:34 am

LOL :D isnt it lovely!

7:35 am

it's really perfect

7:36 am

I think so, I've never met any whisky drinker that doesn't at least really like it

7:36 am

so.. thank you very much.. it's been an eye opener

7:37 am

good good :) always happy to spread the word of orkney whisky!

7:38 am

Here's to good whiskey, and lots of it.

7:38 am

i did finally get to taste the Loki in San Diego

7:38 am

now thats really amazinf

7:38 am

it cost me $145 for a shot though

7:38 am

Holy crap

7:39 am

YIKES!

7:39 am

it was incredible.. the best scotch i've ever tasted .. ever

7:40 am

yes, here too. I think we got a bottle for £300 ish when it first came out. but its whisky on a different level

7:40 am

it was on an expense account bea and Molly..

7:40 am

LOL! Bet they loved that ticket.

7:40 am

it certainly is.. even my 1978 MacCallan wasn't nearly as great

7:41 am

yeah.. i said someone in the group had expensive taste :D

7:41 am

Yeah, but your expenses come out of your own pocket, don't they?

7:42 am

yeah.. but it's a write off too.. and i'd never get a chance to try it otherwise.. a bottle here if you can find it is over $1,000

7:44 am

Have you done your weekly shopping yet, Molly?

7:44 am

sometimes you just have to do these things :)

7:46 am

yeah.. i was so curious and this was the first time i'd ever seen it on a bar.. the place is called Whiskey House and it has the world record of whiskeys available by the glass.. the loki was worth every penny.. just insanely delicious scotch

8:00 am

be annoyed at H words

8:00 am

LOL! I just finished those.

8:01 am

i am starting a new book today... just finished one. and i'm making coq au vin for the first time

8:02 am

I think I had better mow the lawn today, at least in the front

8:04 am

Coq au vin sounds lovely. What wine will you use?

8:05 am

'morning all (which highland park did you try, ru?)

8:06 am

...and which one is the 'every day go-to' one, ata? (my other half loves single malts)

8:06 am

any of them are lovely welki

8:08 am

my house highland park is the 18 year old welki.. it's fabulous and reasonable

8:08 am

a nice pinot bea.. for the dinner

8:09 am

i've also tried the Dark Matters and like that a lot too. They had a 47 year old on the list at the Bar, but it is $849 a shot as I remember

8:09 am

even the 12 year old is pretty good

8:09 am

oh my - there are two 18 year olds on the site i'm looking at - one is +$500 and the other +$1000

8:10 am

yes the 12 is really good but the 18 year old is waaay better

8:10 am

it's $145 here welki

8:10 am

We love the HIghland 18!

8:11 am

i know now how Canada can pay for healthcare :D

8:12 am

i'm not crazy for scotch, but can be talked into a nice rusty nail every now and again

8:13 am

whats that? whisky and ...?

8:13 am

this is scotch at another level welki.. really beautiful stuff

8:13 am

It's $200.00 here. I belong to a Scotch Tasting group - it gets expensive!

8:13 am

a little bit of drambuie, ata

8:13 am

next trip to the usa welki.. just buy some in NJ

8:14 am

Try the Jura 10 if you like Drambuie or Cognac!

8:14 am

and save yourself $300

8:15 am

i only have one cognac in the cabinet here

8:15 am

welki have you tried glayva? can you even get glayva over there?

8:16 am

I think I'm turning into a millenial i've been drinking so many liquors :D

8:18 am

heh - 1976 Jura 40 yr old is $2541. CAD

8:19 am

says we can get it, i've never seen it, though. sounds botanical

8:20 am

its whisky liqueur really and its gorgeous if you don't like proper whisky and like honeyed versions

8:20 am

do they allow you to bring back liquor from the us welki when you visit here?

8:21 am

yes, ru - don't know what the limits are, but i know you can bring a bottle or two back

8:21 am

they allow me to bring two bottles of wine when i come without taxes

8:21 am

not sure about liquor though

hmm, 111 words on the 11th

8:23 am

heh - at this rate, it'd be more economical to just take a trip to visit ata and drink at her table :)

8:23 am

Rather ominous...

8:23 am

we could drive up to highland park and take photos to annoy ru

it is my birthday too. worst birthday I can ever remember!

8:24 am

no one needs to see a photo of me passed out on the driveway of the distillery

8:24 am

Happy Birthday, Homie!

8:24 am

its a very pretty driveway

8:25 am

I'd bake you a cake...

8:25 am

8:25 am

GF, of course.

8:26 am

8:32 am

Aw. A young puppy

Don't feel older than 80 on most days :D

and I had to pull out like 5 new gray hairs the other day.

8:36 am

i have a lot of grey on the sides

8:37 am

that n IS REALLY PISSING ME OFF

these were all right in the front

8:38 am

Second column

yeah, I have only found 2 there

8:38 am

church part?

ooh, good one, bea

nice church word before easter

8:39 am

<---doesn't go to church

8:39 am

and unexpectedly consonant-y words

ends in people you used to be married to

or person I should say

8:41 am

There is also the chemical found in petro from that one, I think.

I now have 5 from there but not sure what all of them mean :D

bea, is the a in 5th col weird?

8:44 am

theres mr scamander :)but from a different n

8:44 am

no, carla

yep :D always nice to see another HP fan

the i is starting to annoy me

8:46 am

ok.. closed out the t's..

8:47 am

oh.. found the 8

hey, found a scottish related word!

finished the f's and didn't even notice. was typing in random made up stuff for nothing!

8:48 am

I went to the grocery store yesterday. What a fluster cluck!

8:49 am

You know, we can wear our masks and our gloves, but it only takes one idiot, like I saw in the store today...coughing all over his self check out terminal..to spread this stuff around. Bless the store employee who went and sanitized the terminal once the idiot left.

8:49 am

i went yesterday too bea.. it was nice once i got in the store.. they're only letting a few people at a time

mr. bf is planning a trip tomorrow. I don't know if it's the whole state or just here but they are limiting # of shoppers inside now.

sorry, mr. bf is what I call him on my other thing

mr. homie

8:50 am

I miss the days when I was the only one in the grocery store at 6 AM.

8:50 am

People in my town barely follow the traffic laws. We think they are going to follow one way signs in the grocery store?

good point

and thanks for the t word ;)

8:51 am

I stood at the end of an aisle waiting for the two people to finish before I stepped in. Had three people walk around me to get in the aisle.

8:51 am

Your welcome.

8:52 am

one p to go

8:52 am

Did you get everything you needed, Molly?

8:53 am

I have had that same thing happen to me Bea. And yes, I got everything I needed.

8:53 am

And a few things I could have passed on, but hey, I'm living large these days. Why not?

there's a woman that has done that to me twice on my street. I'm waiting for oncoming traffic since there are cars parked on my side and she comes up behind and just goes around me. last time I saw her coming I was in mr. homie's truck and I angled it to block her. made me so angry.

8:54 am

i get people who stop and look at lettuce and it takes them ten minutes to decide which one

you do get them?

8:54 am

Things here are starting to become more available now that people understand how long term this is. It also helps that stores are limiting 2 of each item.

8:55 am

We have a three lane highway that narrows to two after a major intersection. It is clearly marked that the right lane ends, merge left. Yet people line up in the right lane anyway. I never let them in.

8:55 am

thanks hokie and Molly and lickety - firewords

speaking of lettuce, the romaine I'm growing looks like it's ready!

well done, dan. not sure I did anything to help, but yw

8:55 am

Pinch it off and it will continue to grow.

8:55 am

I wish it was warm enough here to grow things. I had to take the one hanging basket of flowers I have out, in last night because of a freaking freeze warning in April.

covered tomatoes and lettuce last night and moved the peach tree into the screened porch

you can grow salad greens, they like this weather. i am trying them for the first time.

8:56 am

It is cold here today too, Molly. I'm glad we waited to get out houseplants out.

50 right now but was like 33 or 34 earlier. supposed to be 69.

8:58 am

I'm trying to rid a flower bed off my back porch of vinca vine. That sh*@ is tenacious!

8:59 am

good morning all. Kind of down today - week 5 of self distancing and it is getting old. Skyped with elder son yesterday - his birthday. Haven't seen him since last September and haven't seen most of the grandkids or our daughter since last August. The Vancouver bunch we visited at Christmas, but it seems like such a long time ---- sure hope this pandemic passes soon. I know most of you are in the same boat.

I remember planting vinca at my mailbox in our first house. it was good for me since I tend to kill things

8:59 am

yep, nan. it stinks. hang in there.

9:00 am

Was it the flowers or the vine, Carla.

oh, it was the flowers. didn't realize the vine was a different thing

but the flowers do great in heat/drought conditions ;D

9:01 am

I'm sorry you are feeling that way, Nan. It is hard to not be able to see friends and family. I hate it.

9:02 am

Yes, they are very heat tolerant. And I do like the flowers, just not the vine.

finished the w!

9:03 am

I have three very close and long time friends back in KS. Right now, I am so angry with them, I will not even look at their texts.

9:04 am

They are gallvanting all over the place, visiting friends and family. They are all having huge Easter dinners at their homes.

they not buying into social distancing?

9:05 am

Not at all.

9:05 am

I told them the other day it was people like them that were making this quarentine last longer. Deaf ears.

9:05 am

I know Bea - I shouldn't complain. Our kids all live 300 - 600 miles away, but I still have a husband with me so I am not entirely alone unlike some of the seniors around here.

in good virus news, we did a zoom happy hour with our camping group last night and the couple that tested positive are now symptom free and seem to have beat it.

9:06 am

back at it. may I get a clue for the 1st EN 6 pls?

9:06 am

That's good news Hokie!

I don't have any yet, phand. hope you are feeling better today.

9:06 am

facsinated, phan

9:07 am

I am! Thank you

9:07 am

Hi phand -- still improving I hope ?

9:07 am

fascinate

hmm, no l, so not enthralled

9:07 am

my thoughts exactly...

oh, just found one relating to bad police work

9:08 am

That is good to hear, Carla. I'm sure you had a great time catching up.

9:08 am

yeah, got that too...

9:09 am

anagram that last part of the word

yeah, it's 5 couples counting us and it was almost like we were sitting around a campfire having campfire discussions

9:09 am

Thanks, Bea!

9:10 am

had hoped that it would help in getting the 7 but alas...

9:10 am

I have been thinking of how much this stay at home thing is going to change lives. Weddings that have to be canceled. Funerals that will be small. Graduations that won't happen.

9:11 am

are you looking for the en 7 phand? want a clue?

got it, though I'm a little slow. my anagram at first was a thing used to cover something :D

9:11 am

yes please.

9:11 am

en7 is a contestant in a compition

9:11 am

en7 One who goes in for a competition

9:11 am

Sorry...Jumped the gun on that one.

9:11 am

yes - I think this year's grads might have to have their dinner-dance in the fall.

9:12 am

Tx Bea!!

9:12 am

i cancelled my vacation yesterday or the day before.. so bummed out

yeah, molly, I've been thinking how my son most likely won't have his senior soccer season in the fall

9:12 am

And my spelling and typing stink today.

9:12 am

sorry, ru.. my son and his wife cancelled Ireland, their delayed honeymoon

9:12 am

a person who signs up for a contest or class is an en 7

9:13 am

Thanks, Nan!

9:13 am

No proms either.

9:13 am

bzz people can be heartless and brainless during these times

9:13 am

what was the timing for your vaycay ru?

9:13 am

I know, Molly. We have a young friend down the block who should graduate this spring. And she has a gorgeous dress for prom.

did I mention I was supposed to be in FL right now? also, we were going to do a trip for our 25th anniversary this summer (which was actually in Jan).

9:13 am

oh yeah.. i have to miss the prom too

9:13 am

I am watching a show about Vancouver Island and all of the animals that live there both in and out of the water.

9:14 am

did my first Zoom yesterday.. fun, some things still to learn

9:14 am

Very interesting show

9:14 am

Now they are wondering what her freshman year of college will look like as she was going away.

9:14 am

i was going in July Nan

9:14 am

I'm sorry you are going to miss the prom, ru.

9:14 am

i rented a house near qualicum but not to be

9:14 am

We were lucky, we were able to go to Jamaica in January, that was to celebrate our 30th which was in July...

9:14 am

Bzz and hokie.. I heard yesterday that the worst area for the stay at home thing and for not following the rules in NC is where I live Hubby and I are not involved in those "statstics .

9:15 am

Every time I mistakenly hit the reverse button on my phone camera, I realize how much I don't want to Zoom or Skype with anyone. : D

9:15 am

probably smart to cancel -- a lot of medical professionals are doubtful we will be completely over this by then or that there might be a 2nd wave.

9:15 am

I heard someone somewhere didn't follow the rules protocol and was arrested for not doing so

9:15 am

people still going to church there hokie?

phand, we still have a high schooler and I didn't want to leave him alone and go out of the country for our anniversary, so I said we'd go in the summer when the college kid was home.

9:16 am

Aloy, I hope you followed the advice given one of my gardeners who appeared in a Zoom meeting wearing only her bra...

9:16 am

the curve in BC has flattened, but our health minister keeps warning that will only be so as long as people continue to stay home.

the churches I'm on email list for are not even open, ruru

9:16 am

lol Bea.. neck up only

9:16 am

what was the advice bea?

my church back in VA is closed too

9:17 am

On a positive note, I heard an emergency room worker being interviewed on the radio and he says that local emergency rooms are not over crowded and they have room to treat those who need it.

9:17 am

hokie I saw that their are areas who still plan on celebrating tomorrow with church services

9:17 am

Our church is doing it on line. Has been for weeks now

9:17 am

our church streams the service online. church meetings and "gatherings" are held by Zoom

9:17 am

Molly in general or in a particular area?

yeah, I think once hospitals cut out elective surgeries a lot of room opened up. our friend that works for the hospital here says they are only half full right now.

9:18 am

Those areas planning on Easter services are also the ones that think The Orange Man is going to save them.

9:18 am

yes there are still a lot of people that need to go back to primary school where they can be taught reading comprehension.

9:18 am

bzz lol and the Tooth Fairy ?

I think the churches were trying to get an exemption that would allow them to have the people there in order to stream the service.

9:19 am

i just read about some republicans who overturned a governor's orders to halt church gatherings

9:19 am

Ru, the advice Playtex Cindy was given was to cover her camera with a post it.

I know my one church here had a Good Friday service yesterday on zoom, so I assume they're doing tomorrow online as well.

9:19 am

hokie but you don't need a lot of people for that you can do it from home or inside a church by yourself cant you?

9:20 am

People need to remember that church is not the only place you can be spiritual.

9:20 am

ah.. that's too bad bea.. at least i hope she provided an uplifting conversation

9:20 am

if the pope can hold easter services with only 7 people in the building, so can everyone else.

9:20 am

in our church the variou paarticipants record their parts at home, send it to the minister who puts it all together to stream online on sunday

yeah, from what I read, they just wanted to be able to go there with a bare bones crew for service and streaming, but it's possible some of them really want everyone there.

9:21 am

but then Italy has been hit so hard he, at least, probably understands what is going on.

I mean, you'd think they'd learn from that s. korean church where everyone got it

9:22 am

One pastor I read about said he was sure members of his congregation would be happy to contract the virus if they could worship together on Easter.

9:22 am

I would love to get five minutes with "Cindy" to let her know how much people don't want to see her old, wrinkled up body in a bra.

9:22 am

What was his name Bea? Jim Jones?

9:22 am

that's a pastor that wants money bea

9:23 am

LOL! That is exactly what I thought, ru. A mega church.

9:23 am

God told me to buy that private jet....

9:23 am

9:38 am

mustard and mayonnaise are good in egg salad

9:38 am

I add celery and onion as well as a whole grain mustard and a bit of horseradish. And of course, you have to use Duk's Mayo.

9:38 am

mlf, the ha6 is a compound word.

9:38 am

it's in the deli section at my local store.. i don't buy it at whole foods because they put raw onions in it which i can't stand in egg salad

9:39 am

i used to attend a church that actually utilized that word to refer to the lobby so i know it :D

11:15 am

You know you are playing a game with high value word nerds when people know what that word means. : D

11:16 am

Pi7 starts with a food measure

11:16 am

personally i always wondered why not just call it a lobby or foyer but whatev

11:17 am

thanks une!

11:18 am

Yw!!

11:18 am

na 7/40, pls

a narthext is set off by arches or open doorways, so it's technically not a lobby -- yeah, church historian here 8 - )

oop, na7, i mean! (sorry, meet me in the penalty box)

11:19 am

well then my church was using it wrong as there were no arches and just normal doors

11:19 am

ty BDG

been facebooking all morning, forgot to switch gears

naw, they have merely "modernized" the word

11:20 am

There's another ta7..... don't have it yet

or maybe the doors were added later

11:21 am

no, it was a new modern building, not an old one

well, it's such a cool word, why would anyone not want to use it, even for a lobby? LOL

11:23 am

i don't like it, as a word. i find it ugly and clunky.

11:24 am

ta7 = color + scarlett's home

oh, ty hurshy!

11:24 am

yeah, np, i went to the list :D

i try not to list until i get 2/3, almost there
