My neighbors are blaring Rammstein. I hate them.

He shut it down immediately.
Disappointed no q words. My favourite tile to start on

Free clue.
Tricky.

With an iron?
nice python reference, Harry
it's ironic
gotta go ! have a nice day - 47 for later
Bye Harry
ah a bunny
*wiggling my nose and turning my ea4*
i had two bunnies as a child
*doing a curtsy for governess*
I just gave my girls their salads. They will eat a bit and then laze around allday.
tiffany and kitty, two grey feisty bunnies
My girls are feisty. Phoebe & Fiona.
by feisty i mean they weren't really tame. my dads idea was to buy two adult rabbits at a flea market. it didn't work out so well. they had to live in an outdoor enclosure.
but shrek is a good movie
My girls are sisters and are bonded, but they are very wary of me. I cannot pet or hold them, except when I catch them to trim their nails.
Shrek is hilarious.
they are named for the movie correct?
I liked the names.
oops, i guessed wrong then
Girl names for my bunnies have always been much tougher to choose than boy names.
i enjoy naming critters
Me too. It is very important.
i try to be as creative as horse names
Horse names, like the racing horses, are interesting.
exactly. they can't speak, their name should tell a story
What part of the US do you live in?
We've just got three kittens - naming them has been great fun
the great state of west virginia, wild and wonderful. you?
their names wendrie?
*squeal* Smooch them for me, Wendrie.
Samiakki (black liquorice - sweet with claws)
Griselda - grey warrior/battle maiden
Jasper - grey spotted/striped precious stone
proper names!
* Salmiakki
ope, my presence is requested
Good morning...kittens!
Governess, I visited Harpers Ferry after an AT hike in Shenandoah NP.
Hi Owl
kittens make everything fun :)
Hi scrabs
Yes! I think about getting a kitten to raise with my rabbits. But maybe it wouldn't go well.
And THREE!
Such mischief!
Not sure about bunnies but kittens are like babies. They get into everything; house must be clotted proofed
Kitten proofed. On phone, autocorrect
Yes, I have been bunny-proofing since 1990.
harpers ferry, practically virginia.
i think if the kitten grew up the with rabbits it would probably work fine.
And practically Maryland. What a beautiful confluence of rivers and states. I walked across the bridge to MAryland.
I agree
I think so too, but someday I need to be pet-less so I can easily travel more.
this has been our thinking. of course then a pandemic struck and we didn't travel anyway.
Yes.
That's why we're not getting another do after he dies
Same here. Back when we had neighbors with cats who could Watch them. No longer.
Later, all, happy babbling.
yes. our dog neighbor moved out. and our cat neighbor is nice but i can't let anything go live in a hoard
have a good one 72
Bye Owl
I just realized that I passed halfway so I am out of here. Enjoy the day.
This seems to be a nice moving grid for once
you always think they're easy, ru.😜
there've been a few doozies of late homie
hello all...
agreed
hello, pen
good morning pen

*Waits for te Ru comment
*the
lol, he must be asleep
i love it when you don't hear any rain and then all of a sudden whoosh it's very loud heavy rain
me too, and it's great in a camper
that makes me sleepy
yeah, it's nice to sleep to it
it makes cats go "whaaa--- ?"
I remember the howler monkeys in the rain in Costa Rica
use that on your tombstone, bichon! :D
cremation
you can still have a memorial stone... or put it on your urn
sorry if such topics are too morbid
I would think your kid would not want to explain that to you hokie
and there it is
can I have a nudge for the te7?
think carbons from plants
don't have but will look. I need a nudge for the pe7
Ru, she said he doesn't understand it. Hmm
never mind, got the pe7
oh.. a slow learner then
i like your new picture, molly
oh, I'm still seeing the old one. they're both nice
okay, 26 left after first pass
Thanks Hursh. I like photographs where the sun or moon is making a pathway on the water.
I guess you enjoy being reflective molly?
remember when Laura and Carrie were sliding on the moon path on the ice and met that big wolf?
I'm assuming that was in the books and I don't remember it
yes, in the book By the Shores of Silver Lake
I did read the books but that was probably c. 1983
I do recall that title
i've read them so many times, i did not keep count tho
that was how i first started reading chapter books on my own. i was 6, and my mom read them to me. as soon as we finished i wanted her to start again at the beginning, and she said no, if you want to read them again you must read them yourself
there was another author with similar books but I can't remember who or what
similar in what way? like "pioneer" life?
yes
good morning all --- my first name is in the grid today!
tiara for you :)
howdy nan
I guess you want a tiara then
oh - ty
es5? is that your first name?
usually as a name it is spelt with an H in it
no
dot?
*is glad she did not mention it when her name was in the grid not long ago*
let's put it this way -- I have never met anyone else with the same name.
lol
I'll let y'all know when my real name is in the grid
your real name isn't carla?
your real name isn't cybernan?
well, I was trying to be stealthy, nan
lol
carla is actually a nice name I think
yes it is - also a pretty name
have only met one or two. I never really liked it.
and literally every dr. office, etc, where someone doesn't know me, they always say Clara. I didn't know there were that many dyslexic people in the country, but it's true. and Clara to me is an 80 yo.
I'm named after a Saint.. so I'm cool with that
I really wanted my internet name to be cybernana, (grands call me nana) but when I opened my google account, that was already taken
michael, peter, francis
bonaventrue
bonaventure i mean
I made this name way back in 2005 before it was bad to use your name
LOL
now everyone spread the rumour that ruru's real name is bonaventure
just one ru -- it's not Apostles?
bonruventure
Okay I will blurt the secret. Ru's real name is Valentine
patrick
I guess teatree oil is tea tree?
I don't think Patrick is Greek
oh, we're looking for a greek saint?
I actually know a priest whose name is Valentine. He always wears red socks.
too many people would embarrass me by calling me boneventure
with hearts?
I was going to suggest we shorten it to bone
Or Boner
obvious nickname
wow this is odd, i just finished 6s while just going through my first pass
remember Boner on Growing Pains?
that is odd, but I just noticed I only have 2 left!
4-6-2-8-2 eek on the 7s
1-3-0-5-2
You two need to play with the flip Brainiacs
well.. I unfortunately have to work today .. so I'd best be off.. have fun everyone
bye boner
bye ruru, have a good day

2nd fe8 pls hi all
it"s a pt of the FE6/27 peri
ty but I meant first fe8 pls
18 left
hello friends
hi Trif
hi trif
montreal! How lovely! It has been a long time!
nice to "see" you 2 (trif)
I hope you and all your d4 ones have been safe, happy and well
1st FE8 means to put together states/provinces to make a country
yes trif, we have survived the pandemic...so far...we both have had 2 doses of Pfizzer vaccine and most of our family have got or will get their vaccine soon, so no complaint really...but it has been a long haul and we our "blasé"... how about you and yours trif ?
- are "blasé"...
my eldest daughter had covid, and continues to have some issues, but I am happy to report that all three of my children are vaxxed, and doing well in life. My youngest child joined the trump cult, and has chosen to cut all ties with us. THAT has been hard, but we soldier on, hoping she will come to her senses.
sorry to hear that about your daughters...cult indeed...
thank you. the lingering effects of her covid illness have been .....worrying. she just cant seem to catch a break.
that's what is so scary about the covid: the "long term" effects for some while others recover quickly...
peri, did you get the 1st FE8 ? think of Canada"s levels of government: provincials and FE****l
agreed, montreal. Happy to hear the canadian border is opening up again soon. SO many people stuck on one side or the other!
i believe canadians will have to wait a couple of weeks longer to cross into the US...but i hear that some won't go into some areas of the states...such as Florida for instances seeing how it has handled the pandemic...
*i* would not set foot down south for any reason. Between the covidiots and the conservatives stripping everyone who isnt white and male of their rights, I am done with the lower states
is the lone p fishy, please?
i "hear" you Trif and feel the same ☺
sorry Trif, don't have it yet...
its hiding
and doing a good job of it ☻
the lone P is pe7,40
and HELLO all
ty french - a nudge in the direction, please?
is it stomach related?
ahh thanks FT and hi !
first 4 letters are nickname for a criminal + not the beginning
merci bien!
stomach related? hmmm no
have it now, nbt at long last!
merci beaucoup FT, weird word...
de rien
☺
which reminds me - a lovely, escapist pleasure of late has been "the parisian agency" on netflix. its a french-based reality series showing a family of realtors who sell luxury RE in France. It's so lovely, to see all the amazing properties over there.
nice to have on whlist ironing or something
I haven't seen the show but have been to Paris and in the countryside, I'd have to agree! So many amazing properties
FW ! i have a couple of minutes for cluing...
Escape to the Chateau is fun :-)
hi and bye Une - and nice to "see" you and lil-monkey and French Toast - poof
lil-monkey and Trifioso i meant...sigh...
Hey, Montreal :-)
hello trif
monty I saw your clue for the first fe8 but I still cannot find the word
I found the fe8 ty monty
Past tense of the Uncle from The Addams Family. Great word.
es
the trump cult is a real thing, that's really sad to read trif
oops.. trif isn't here.. never mind
Sad to read about estranged kids. Families should be able to differ on politics without it coming to that.
its difficult to maintain those relationships. i've always been a blue person living in a red state. but since trump came along simply disagreeing hasn't been the issue. being awful about it has been the issue. its like they've changed.
Well said, governess.We have become an angry, intolerant nation.
my own father showed up at my house and laughed at me. something has changed in a lot of these people that used to be my network.
People forget that we can disagree but still get along.
except i can't really. i have to respect myself. and allowing my own father to come to my home and mock me like that. its difficult to negotiate.
it all goes back to Trump's personality and the way people act on reality shows. people eat that crap up.
the question is how do you undo it?
US political issues mostly aren't any more just about how much to spend fixing potholes or staffing the library. they have to be hyped up as existential threats against an enemy.
so it somehow makes it acceptable when you see people acting that way on TV
Respect cannot be tossed aside just because of differing views.
respect has to come from both sides though
Yes.
Phantom = serpent
so i'm left with accept disrespect, or walk away knowing he likely doesn't have much time left.
Let him know what you expect, what you will not tolerate.
not a phantom, but derp is a word i say
i have, he makes fun of it
Then you must decide whether to be detached and set boundaries or to spend time with him but be disrespected.
Tough decision.
yes, but that is also choosing detached from mom or time with mom. and she votes bad but she's not disrespectful.
anyway, sorry for dumping that in here
It's tough when family members are disrespectful.
i'll just muddle through as i can
yeah, sorry to hear that
This is a common situation in the US, sadly.
just want to go back to something I read earlier, FYI, some of us living in the south are decent people and vaccinated
it is unfortunately. will just have to do what we can to make it better.
ha ha, me too hokie. and so glad i'm vaccinated.
We are so fortunate. Hospitals are full of very sick unvaccinated people.
are you the one that is in WV? there's a great doc on hulu about this woman returning to her WV hometown from LA in 2016 before the election and dealing with her Trump supporting family members. I think it was just called Hillbilly.
its the end of the world
How so, IG?
having had covid before they first believed it was here and were testing it, i consider myself fortunate that i have asthma and didn't end up in a hospital.
just kill yourselfs
Not yet.
wow, either IG has been drinking or someone has his computer!
not living!
okay, i'm not going to engage that kind of behavior
These comments do not fit with the IG I know.
have a good evening all.
Bye. I have done enough too.
yay, done. Laters, all.
IG has had tee many martoonies
I had some rosé of pinot grigo tonight. pleasntly crisp
pe 7/40?
pe7, pe*, for each + ****ant, necklace
thx Grannierose
yw
sorry for the misspell
spell it anyway you like, just don't call me late for dinner.... lol
:)
