5:35 am

I would hate to have to schlep my clothes to the laundromat.

Thanks for that in! I've been on calls all morning so only just got it :)

6:45 am

Aaaahhh, Ughday. Great day for a tropical storm, lol.

7:01 am

I try rasta every time...

7:03 am

*Puts on Bob Marley for Bea

7:04 am

Good morning, Molly. Sorry it has to be a Monday.

7:09 am

An even ickier Monday because my geese and the eggs are gone. I don't know if the babies hatched and they took off, or if something got to the eggs. : (

7:11 am

Oh no! Is there a pond near by?

7:15 am

Oh yeah, there are several water sources nearby. I'm hoping for "hatched and took off". I'm just disappointed I didn't get to see them first. Maybe they will come back for a visit.

7:15 am

Usually after they hatch, Momma heads thme to the water.

7:19 am

We had some that nested on a rooftop and we had to call a water fowl expert to get the babies down once they hatched.

7:28 am

good morning all! I am indignant that indignant does not exist in the puzzle

7:29 am

Well, most of it does

7:30 am

LOL! Good morning, dan.

7:36 am

Good morning, all.

7:36 am

hi judi

7:36 am

hi everybody

7:36 am

Good morning, Judi and Harry.

7:38 am

Judi, you may want to dump your bucket this morning. I left many words in it on Saturday.

7:40 am

Thanks, Bea. * dumps bucket *

7:45 am

not getting the bottom i. no asian subcontinental words work.

7:46 am

in6.27 Molly clued it earlier in the chat.

7:46 am

ty!

7:46 am

nbt and 41 to go

7:47 am

good morning friends

7:48 am

in6 - one definition is "obsolete" and the other is "archaic"

7:48 am

hi trif

7:48 am

I have already greyed the rightmost column - FEAR ME

7:49 am

lets bring it back then, harry! I will start - The current behavior of the president of the US in indign in almost all cases

7:49 am

later all. we always fear you trif.

7:50 am

lol thanks friend!

7:53 am

That isn't a strong enough word, Trif.

7:53 am

working with what the grid provides, bzzn....but yeah

7:54 am

wow, the q words today did not come to play

7:56 am

No, they did not! I can see many a clue asked for those.

7:56 am

found 6, then complete grid lock

8:00 am

brb - going to run out and feed the goats....

8:02 am

Obsolete and archaic were high on the desirable list for the makers of the Enable word list

8:10 am

the goats bleat a cheery good morning to you all

8:13 am

How fun, trif. Who can have a bad day after seeing goats.

8:13 am

certainly not me! These two clowns have brought much joy since their arrival two months ago

8:14 am

phantom: insignia

8:14 am

not to mention they have eaten 80% of the briars and thorns around the place

8:14 am

Do you really have goats, Trif?

8:15 am

I really do, bichon - two. Vincent Van Goat and Leonardo di Capricorn

8:16 am

took us three days and about a million family rounds of texting to name them.....

8:16 am

How cool is that

8:17 am

I expected to like them, very much. I ADORE them, as it turns out. They are like super useful dogs.

8:19 am

Where do they live?

8:21 am

in the old chicken coop, which tertiare and I cleaned out, removed the nesting boxes, and fitted for them - hay crib, raised bed for sleeping, etc. An old dog run was re-fitted to the space, with a couple of sections added, to make an enclosed yard for them. Every day that isn't raining I take them out for goat zoomies and yard activities.

8:22 am

they have been in the "people barn" twice = i ran in to get a hat on a sunny day, and they followed me RIGHT in.

8:22 am

You must live in an area zoned for farm animals

8:23 am

they were gentlemen and did not sh*t, but my hubs almost did!

8:23 am

I do indeed, bichon, and have 10 acres myself

8:25 am

amazing

8:26 am

it's wild how fast things get rural as you leave boston

8:26 am

but in truth there's very little undeveloped land between boston and DC. The Pine Barrens in NJ are the only real large area.

8:27 am

and we all know what happened on the sopranos in the pine barrens.

8:32 am

lololol harry - hand to god, before moving here we were shown one house that had a person buried in the backyard...totally illegal, but also totally there

8:32 am

Nope, had to look up that and "zoomies"

8:33 am

I swear molly, they get them just like cats do.

8:34 am

Dogs get zoomis too. Boxers do, anyway.

8:34 am

good to know!

8:36 am

hi trif!

8:41 am

Molly, I have a feeling it will be one of those kind of days. =)

8:46 am

the a/c guys sent me an automated msg that they were coming between 5 and 6 this morning. so I got up early, and of course they didn't come.

8:46 am

They just called - they're on their way. This automated system is new and has all kind of glitches. "5 am would be wicked early" she said

8:47 am

I couldn't imagine a repair man at 5 am...

8:47 am

I figured they would stop by on their way to the first job

8:48 am

kind of stupid on my part...

Hey again all. Would it be awfully rude of me to ask for a bit of a guide on the QU7 and 8 (I have the 8 and 9)?

8:48 am

harry repair people never come on time

8:48 am

matty I am just the opposite

8:49 am

do you have the qu 4/7?

8:49 am

there's qu 7s 8s and 9s? oh dear

8:49 am

add the actress ***alie Wood

8:49 am

harry 7/8 and a 8/9

8:50 am

ah ok. got my first 8 :)

8:50 am

I would say it would be better for you to go to Morewords. Those are tough to clue.

8:51 am

Matty, they end with what you put in the ice bucket to handle ice cubes

Got them - thank you! Qs quashed

8:51 am

Oh never mind, that is the 8 & 9

I had that one already, thanks to monkeys ;)

8:51 am

The qu7/8 is a chinook salmon.

8:52 am

wow what odd words

8:52 am

the qu8/9 is a fruit in Australia.

8:52 am

qu8/9 is a nice looking tree

8:53 am

some one is going to be grumpy because she doesn't speak Austrailan.

8:53 am

huh. I'm still missing a q.

8:53 am

Cheers.

8:53 am

have both now:)

8:53 am

got it.

8:53 am

Do you have the grain, Harry?

8:53 am

it was the bridge over the river qu4

8:54 am

*Starts whistling

8:54 am

the Ms are giving me a heap of trouble. still missing 4 on each.

8:55 am

That is a good old movie.

the ma7 is the title of the first broadcast Star Trek (original series) episode (and its plural) :)

8:55 am

wahoo! Q's quashed for me as well, thank you!

8:55 am

There is a 7/8 combo in there, Harry.

8:55 am

I will have to check out once certain questions start flying about the Q words. Otherwise I will be drunk before noon.

8:56 am

IKTR! (I Know That's Right)

8:57 am

yay! blacked out the lower M.

8:57 am

*Bets Matty goes to Star Trek conventions

I used to. Haven't been in many, many years. But yeah, I used to :)

8:57 am

Bea, you have been hanging out with Carla too much : D

8:57 am

I'm checking out now. Get started on a crazy week. Momma's birthday is this week.

8:58 am

bye bea

8:58 am

See you all tomorrow...

8:58 am

Happy Birthday Momma Bea

9:01 am

ty harry

9:01 am

lolol harry, indeed! leaving off the last letter, of course

9:01 am

yeah.

9:02 am

super fun - I have a student who has not done a single assignment since the shut down started. NOW he is trying to do 13 weeks worth of work in one week. solid plan, kiddo

9:02 am

for five subjects.....

9:02 am

eek

9:03 am

I'm allowing my 10th graders to do the final exam review (no final exam) for credit. It will boost their grades, which have been ..... bad

9:03 am

I feel like everyone just gave up on school.

9:04 am

... just curious trif ... how many students did sufficient work?

9:04 am

hi dose

9:04 am

... g'morning

9:06 am

which di do the di7s come from?

9:07 am

... fourth column

9:07 am

ty dose..still looking...

9:07 am

... the upper one

9:07 am

di7/32...measure how far

9:08 am

hi phae I tried to make it harder then it was ugghh

9:08 am

the other is the same di?

9:09 am

I only have the one

9:09 am

... yup

9:09 am

ty

9:09 am

about 75-80% of most of the classes, dos

9:09 am

trif so is this the end of the school year or is it summer school?

9:10 am

oh ... that's pretty good ... I'm only a sub now ... I was figuring it would be noticeably less than that ...

9:10 am

... it's over in Ontario

9:11 am

dose oh

9:11 am

no, this is the end of the regular school year. we are not doing extended school year this year at all

9:11 am

we're done this week - next week is graduations and stuff

9:11 am

that's probably a good idea

9:11 am

its all such a mess. school districts are in shambles. staffs are being gutted, did you hear about randolph, harry?

9:12 am

all the kids are scrambling for summer jobs and things - all their plans have been scuttled.

9:12 am

camps are closed, internships cancelled.

9:12 am

good luck trying to find a job

9:14 am

I gtg will be back...

9:15 am

what about randolph?

9:15 am

randolph, for those who are interested, is a town near me with the highest number of english language learners in the state. 40 different languages are represented in the school population. Last week they announced they are eliminating all arts, music, phys ed, cafeteria workers, and some other staff for next year. I think this is CRIMINAL. For ELL students, the arts, sports, music, etc. levels the playing field and gives them a place to shine. NO ONE cares if you can't fully speak English if you are dominant on the track team. Or a deft watercolorist. Or a coloratura soprano, or a gifted pianist. I'ts AWFUL

9:15 am

... around here they're all working at the supermarkets ... stocking shelves ... working cash ... chasing down carts in the parking lot ...

9:15 am

Brookline has 634 staff members, and has announced they are laying off 300 of them for next year.

9:16 am

holy cow

9:16 am

given recent events in the states, I think an undereducated populace is the LAST thing we need

9:17 am

brookline will be recalling many of the laid off staff

9:17 am

my last paycheck for the summer is next week. who knows if I will ever see another one from a school?

9:17 am

I hope so harry

9:18 am

I am guessing a lot of near to retirement staff will call it

9:18 am

just googled it

9:18 am

why bother then?

9:19 am

they had a budget issue and "closed the budget gap"

9:19 am

it's doublespeak - the rich folk protested and they caved

9:19 am

I am not by nature a violent person - at all. I also would not recommend ms devos get near me anytime soon

9:22 am

this is all local politics. I don't think she has anything to do with it

9:22 am

federal funding plays a big role

9:24 am

wowza, 31 left and just stuck

9:24 am

could be. some of the local systems are so mismanaged - I can understand the feds wanting to rein them in.

9:25 am

i somehow keep forgetting that we have a whole summer ahead, if you know what I mean? I have been so stressed about starting house projects and such, and keep forgetting that once school is over I have two months....

9:26 am

Just curious for anyone who wants to say...who do you think Biden will choose as a running mate?

9:27 am

i though kamala harris, but there is another woman getting a lot of mentions....hang on please

9:28 am

Michelle Obama asBidens running mate

9:28 am

how are they going to have a convention at all?

9:29 am

mayor of atlanta, maybe? I think her name is Bottoms

9:30 am

it is Trif

9:32 am

I heard the funniest thing the other day, although I can't remember who said it....apparently trump is pissed the NC wants the RNC to follow CDC guidelines at the convention, so now he doesn't want to hold it here, or something. Anyway, the comedian said the solution is simple - have the republican convention on a carnival cruise ship

9:35 am

Keisha Lance Bottoms is a top contender. I like her. Michelle Obama, not so much.

9:38 am

I dont think the Michelle thing is serious. She has indicated many times that she has zero interest.

9:43 am

And has even less leadership experience than her husband did.

9:43 am

hello...help with the mi7 pls

9:46 am

I do not have an mi7. Though I thought midding was a contender.

9:47 am

Like far from the midding crowd.

9:47 am

9:58 am

jumping a shower....i hit the school email running today, haven't taken a moment to get myself together here!

10:17 am

hi all

10:20 am

All this jumping and running is making me tired.

10:20 am

just sit for a minute then Molls

10:26 am

There were goats zooming earlier too. It's a mad frenzy in here.

10:27 am

I seem to have arrived during a lull! Shall I look for a shovel?

10:28 am

hi jmc

10:28 am

hi MLF

10:28 am

And having to do a search on what that means, led me to something rather disturbing. Goat To Meeting. Where you rent goats to liven up your Zoom meetings. Sadly, I am not kidding.

10:29 am

well it is a natural follow on to goat yoga. . . also a thing

10:30 am

Ooo boy, I worry about this world.

10:30 am

I suspect that people who do goat yoga don't get involved in any thing nefarious.

10:31 am

Hopefully they just get involved with a bar of soap after they are done.

10:32 am

they probable would regardless of the goat attendance

10:39 am

Oh now I am getting concerned. There is an album of Christmas music sung by goats. The mental health of this country is in worse shape than I thought.

10:40 am

Goat Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen

10:42 am

haha I can hardly wait to hear it

10:42 am

Oh Goatly Night

10:43 am

my goats did attend a zoom meeting, but it was an accident - they ran past behind me

10:43 am

the students found it wildly amusing

10:49 am

good morning everyone :)

10:50 am

Oh Come All Ye Goatherds

10:52 am

And the bleat goes on I guess...

10:53 am

Hooves keep pounding rhythm to the brain

10:54 am

Oh billy goat, Oh billy goat - how great is your aroma 'to the tune of Oh Tannenbaum."

10:54 am

Come on #Rururocks, admit it. You want a goat standing on your back while you do the downward dog pose.

10:55 am

I'm Dreaming of a Goat Christmas

10:57 am

my goats each weigh in excess of 40 pounds, so a hard pass on the yoga

10:57 am

up on the housetop click click click down through the chimney old billy goat nick

10:58 am

I think they use baby goat trif

10:59 am

The chatlog can be a big perplexing when you first log on. Good morning.

10:59 am

i believe that is right, jmc

10:59 am

algebra zoom starting - bbs

10:59 am

Are the goats still screaming Clarice?

11:00 am

that was lambs, silly

11:01 am

haha okay I am masked up and ready to walk to the post office. bbl

11:01 am

Different horror story

11:01 am

The Silence of The Goats

11:02 am

i like the opening scene where the guy gets run over by the Chevrelet

11:04 am

The serial killer is Buffalo Billy

11:05 am

And the rich family's nanny is missing

11:07 am

The main thing is goats have voices and they must be herd

11:07 am

did someone say something about the country being insane ? :D

11:08 am

Butt, butt...oh I guess you are right

11:08 am

yeah nan..look who we elected president

11:09 am

Oh here we go again

11:09 am

oh I so didn't want to start a political chat -- was just commenting on the nonsense in the chog

11:11 am

Every now and then we deviate from cats and the weather

11:12 am

i just had never thought it would be possible to carry on punning about goats for so long

11:12 am

and grooming dogs molly don't forget that

11:13 am

indian is not a word??

11:14 am

proper noun, lisa

11:14 am

ofcourse... lol

11:15 am

punning about goats is easy once a push comes to a chevre

11:15 am

Well Nan, we could discuss curling, but you would be the only one chatting.

11:16 am

(we'd all be sleeping then :D)

11:16 am

lol -- doesn't look like sports will be on the menu for a while

11:18 am

The whole "goat trend" thing really caught me off guard. Who knew goats were the latest fad?

11:18 am

do people walk their goats like they did their pet pigs?

11:19 am

My friend is right. Most people are basically "band wagon jumpers"

11:20 am

Yes Nan, there are goat leashes and little goat clothing, just like there are for dogs. Yee Gods

11:22 am

I don't understand that either, but then I could never understand why anyone would by a house because it was best for their dogs, rather than something they wanted for themselves.

11:23 am

* I'll stick to cats -- a lot less trouble!

11:23 am

I won't have anything to do with cats....

11:24 am

People get loopy about their cats too

11:24 am

Dogs don't claw up the couches for scratching posts

11:24 am

Dogs don't vomit up hair balls all over the house

11:24 am

I would consider having a dog. You couldn't pay me to have a cat.

11:25 am

The nicest part about cats is that the only thing they really care about is being fed. If you are busy and don't have a lot of time to spend with them, they just curl up and go to sleep somewhere.

11:26 am

yeah.. we're human can openers to them

11:27 am

Cats bathe themselves and if you give them hairball medicine on a regular basis they don't vomit either -- they can be trained not to scratch and they don't poop on your sidewalk or lawn, they don't kill your evergreens by peeing on them.

11:28 am

* wanna go another round ? :D

11:28 am

another cat lover here!

11:30 am

No cats don't poop on your sidewalk or lawn, they poop in a box in your house. And I don't care how much that litter stuff says it deodorizes, a house with a cat smells like a house with. If there are more than one, even worse.

11:30 am

*a house with a cat

11:31 am

my cats have always been indoor/outdoor, no litter box

11:31 am

Well then they do poop on the sidewalk and lawn.

11:32 am

You need to empty the litterbox more often, Molly -- and that is just in the winter -- they go outside in the rest of the year, but they bury it! And there is no getting rid of that doggie smell ever - not unless you are prepared to give your dog a bath every day.

11:32 am

Being a dog owner is like being a smoker -- everybody knows it, because the smell is in your house and on your clothing.

11:33 am

I have several friends who have dogs and their houses don't smell like it. The ones who have cats, well that is different.

11:33 am

but I'm fortunate to live far enough away from neighbors/road that they're safe. Nah, they go in the woods or fertilize the azaleas. True about the dog, add to that dogs shed more than cats (in general)...

11:34 am

My kids have one cat and they are both always covered in cat hair.

11:34 am

put a dog and a cat separately in the trunks of two cars for one hour and open it up and see which animal is happy to see you :D

11:35 am

neither -- both would be dead

1:08 pm

Well a great answer to that question is...another question. Is there anything you can do about what is on the TV? If the answer is no (and it probably is) go outside and enjoy nature.

1:09 pm

Deadhead Poppies sounds like a grunge band

1:27 pm

what a treat jmc!

1:28 pm

it was Ata. I managed to cook the steak perfectly and then put the bleu cheese on so that it melted while the steak was resting. . .dreams are made of these. . .

1:30 pm

simple food made right. . . the other dish I still dream of is an oyster po'boy I had in N'Orleans 8 or 9 years ago.

di7/32 you mean?

2:56 pm

There is also a di7/36 - di consonant and not a whole thing

3:00 pm

3:47 pm

3:47 pm

don't look at me that is all I know about them. the 8 is a plural of the 7

3:48 pm

well i see that there is ALSO an 8 & 9 combo, so...

3:49 pm

shoot I was wrong there is only an 8/9 combo

3:49 pm

sigh

3:49 pm

no, there's both

3:50 pm

I need a nap

3:50 pm

i mean, the 7 and 8 are in a row, so they MIGHT not be a combo, but then again they might

3:50 pm

that the subliminal message from the grid, jmc, lol

3:50 pm

oh good didn't mean to confuse

3:50 pm

it is more than subliminal! haha

3:52 pm

well, the 8 starts with qu5 (root of amount), and the 7 has to start with the qu4/7 (second one), but despite these helpful facts, my monkeys remain unsuccessful

3:52 pm

aHA they were insulted by that and found the 7/8

3:53 pm

haha good for them

3:54 pm

hi everyone

3:54 pm
