Ty got it. Great clue welki
ty welki
*Imagines Peri drinking gin and tonic and break dancing at the laundry mat
way too early, I get there at 7am
Nice image, Molly.
not a nice grid
It's always 5:00 some where.
help with R under the M pls
ro5.14
sheesh thanks Bea
how was your trip bea?
She should still be on her trip
It has been an adventure, ru.
where are you Bea?
Yes, we just got to the AB&B last night. Three days in hotels with Mom, two cats and a dog. Now that's fun times.
We are in the midwest, peri.
ok
you took the cats with you?
Came back to see family and friends.
We did. Sedadted and crated.
didn't you have friends who would take care of them?
We did, but since we were going to be gone three weeks, we thought that would be too long for them to stay at home alone with only someone coming in to feed.
wow.. I could never that's mazing
amazing even
They did pretty well. Not a peep out of them in the car. We stay at pet friendly hotels and leave a nice tip for the cleaning crews.
I'm the one that doesn't travel well. =)
maybe you should travel in a crate :D
I'm sure Mr. Bea has thought of that. LOL!
Oh God bless you Bea. An elder and three animals. That does not sound like much "traveling fun".
Two elders, Molly. And neither one can hear. As peri says, "Fun times!"
No wonder you all went out and bought a "deluxe mobile"
I keep forgetting Mr. Bea robbed the cradle : D
I can't imagine us doing this trip in any thing smaller. We were packed!
I am sure you are glad to have it. Except when you pay for gas.
It actually gets better gas mileage than the Enclave did.
Enclave got 16-17mpg. Burb gets 23-24 mpg.
We did 1300 miles and filled up twice.
It would freak me out to pay over $100 for a tank of gas
i do it all the time with my suv
And that is why we live on "different sides of the tracks" : D
the business pays for it.. most of the time
We have yet to pay over $100 at fill up.
just keep driving to california bea.. you'll find it here
We would have had to pay that in IL, but we made sure we didn't fill up there. It's all about the tax.
You pay almost 0.67 per gal out there ru.
another reason i'm leaving california eventually
I would imagine that once you retire, California loses it's appeal in a big way.
exactly
unless you're super rich
Our Suburban has the feature that is drops to v-4 when power isn't needed. That helped a lot as we didn't runover 75 mph.
I thought before that should there come a day when my wife and I can no longer tolerate Chicago winters, maybe we could move to San Diego. Then I looked at rents. Uhh...yeah, no. People say Chicago is expensive. Puh-LEEZ. (Probably the least expensive of all the major cities.)
Good morning all -- how would you like to be paying over $6/gal for gas? That's what it costs here.
Well, Mr. Bea didn't. =)
San Diego is fairly reasonable as far as California goes
...which is scary.
La and the Bay area are super expensive
I was actually surprised at how LA isn't quite as expensive as I thought it'd be. Expensive, yeah, but not what I thought it'd be.
The Bay area is just...murder.
it's beyond stupid
Look at NC, dauber. Reasonable and mild winters
New York and Boston $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
gorred
borred
lol - one of the reasons snowbird like to go south for the winter --- cheap gas
I definitely feel gorred when I look at NY rents.
sorry- not tealwords
"gorred" is a real word:
I have no idea why anyone would want to live in New York City
(adj.) That feeling in the pit of one's stomach when looking at rents at a major city that's so filthy you wonder why anyone would want to go there in the first place.
I have a root canal scheduled for 12:30. If the damn dentist had been listed as an essential service I might've got the damn cavity filled before it became theGrand Canyon
Heh. My mom had cancer thanks to the whole "essential service" thing. (Thankfully surgery got it all>)
My hair salon was open though. That's more essential than dentistry, right?
that's only because of nancy pelosi kaplan :D
I think the difference is that you can wear a mask having your hair done. Our dentists are open for essential services only.
here in California.. the rules only apply to the regular people, our governor can go out for dinners at restaurants
and our speaker (Nancy) can go to shut down hair salons and get her hair done.. and... and...
howdy folks
My hair salon is closing at the end of the month. The owner said she hasn't had a profitable month in a year.
it's the same out here.. and landlords aren't giving breaks on rent either
Dentists wear face shields. Hair stylist wear mask and gloves and don't allow sitting and waiting. I've been going as soon as it opened.
landlords have to pay bills too
true -- but that doesn't afford anywhere near as much protection as when you are both wearing masks
She said her landlord wanted her to sign a 5 year lease, which is ludicrous in times like this.
yeah, that's insane
and I'm not convinced that a shield does anything when the patient's face is below your chin and unprotected!
Not just Nancy Pelosi. Every newscaster, public figure and so on. Anyway, it was a judgement call. But my sense of time was so off that I didn't realize I had such a dentist lapse- I had been to the dentist after I had covid, early on.
my dental hygienist said it was scarier working when AIDS first hit the scene
my friend in Calistoga had to close her wine store after she asked for a temporary decrease in rent because customers couldn't come into her store during the covid shutdown. He declined. She closed the store and he said " I didn't really think you meant it".. the store has remained empty since.. so that's not helping the landlord either hokie
In the time warp that is isolation, I simply didn't realize so much time had gone by- and they didn't remind me
well sounds like he is a bad poker player
Commercial real estate is not doing well.
he's a dumbshit really holie
hokie
My office building is almost empty. Only three businesses in a big three-story building. Lots of empty space.
Holly-holie-hokie...dream of only me
<----still trying the american name for overlocker just in case
She's talking about sewing machines for those of you who don't stitch
correct. did you google overlocker?
it has never taken that one, carla
I still try it every time too though
I know nan, that's why I used the word "still" 😜
and "just in case". because we always think enable is suddenly going to take words
doesn't take the pt either
nan, does british columbia release covid numbers over the weekend? here, there hasn't been a weekend update in months (and premier/med. officer no longer do live updates regularly), even though our numbers are going through the roof again
Enable, that hasn't been updated in 21 years is just going to "suddenly" take words. My my.
no - just on weekdays - a 3 day update on Mondays
<-- always checks for that sewing thing, too (only goes to show - insanity: doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results)
BC has to get their COVID act together. I am planning on a vacation there next summer
I think Kenney is too embarrassed to do daily updates. Isn't he being reviewed for his mishandling of the pandemi? Even O'Toole has thrown him under the bus in the interest of getting elected.
we're back to 'modified' lockdown; restrictions on gatherings, inside and out, mask mandates, capacity limits...our health system is collapsing (no exaggeration)
lol - we do have our act together, ru --- all you need is a negative test or proof of vaccination.
kenney will be fried for all eternity for his 'open for summer' initiatived
I thought Canadian travel for Americans resumed in August
heard you are also going to need a vaccination passport for non-essential activities
heard you are also going to need a vaccination passport for non-essential activities
it did - and boyhowdy, our snowbirds are royally ticked off that the reverse direction is still closed
it has.. but i'm afraid they're going to close the borders. I will get a vaccine passport too for sure.
Depends on which province, Molly --- for most provinces you need a vaccination passport or proof that you have had 2 doses of vaccine.
border opening, or not, is supposed to be announced tomorrow
i'm doing the booster too if it's available in October
me too, ruru
I read about the health care system in Alberta. Scary.
We already have our passports, both in printed form and on our cell phones
How do you get those?
Saskatchewan is also struggling with health care overload.
we need to travel to montana for what's considered 'essential business,' but would have to quarantine for two weeks upon arrival before our appointment. that is, if the border folks allow us in, because rules change every minute
flying in is ridiculously expensive, almost $1500 for one person
I would be scared to travel somewhere like Canada because I would be afraid they would close borders while I was there and I would not be able to get home.
what do you consider essential services, welki?
my understanding is that citizens of either country can always return home. might have to quarantine, though
there are a bunch of nutjob covidiots in Montana Welki who are anti-vaxxers
you would always be able to leave, Molly
ru, there are a bunch of them here, too
i'd love to be "stuck" in BC for a long time
a lot of antivaxers in AB and SK as well -- why they are in such trouble now.
nan could have me to lunch and i could go wine tasting up there :D
nan, it has to do with social security and must be an in-person appointment
that is true, ruru :)
you could even come for happy hour and dinner - you just need to like scotch...
(we've been waiting since covid-onset for this appointment and it's cost us a lot of lost $$$, in usd *lol*)
no problem.. i LOVE scotch
just not peaty ones
agreed, ru - to me, they just taste dirty
we agree there
Ru, guess what type of dishwasher is here in the vacation house? And guess what it needs?
HIghland Park is as Peaty as I can go.. the others taste like licking and ashtray
a bosch and it needs rinse aid :D
haha, was going to say they're like licking out a camp fire pit
someone else can drink the Laphroaig
...or salt, it might need salt :D
You got it!
ugh.. that is so awful nan.. Laphroaig
You guys do know that you can use vinegar instead of rinse aid
folks know my husband likes a good scotch and gift him with nice (to them) bottles of the stuff - if it was vodka, i could wash the windows with it, but what do you do with peaty scotch you simply cannot drink?
I like MacCallan (the best)< 18 yr old Oban, Balvenie double wood, Highland Park 18, and Loki.
don't think I"ve ever had Highland Park -- assume it is also a single malt?
i give my gifts (regift them) to people who like peaty scotches. I just can't drink them.
NTPN - Swiss Mountain.
atalanta recommended highland park to us, i think
Damn, you guys are some high end drinkers
it's a single malt.. it's wonderful stuff...especially the 18 year old.. it does have a kiss of Peat though.. but really interesting taste
welki.. Ata recommended the Loki to me (15 year old in Sherry barrels).. and it's the best scotch I have ever had
Eiger
by far
I'm not sure about vinegar, Molly. There is not heat element for drying in the Bosch. The jet dry is what helps the dishes dry.
wowsa, that's an expensive bottle
They make a "scotch" in the Okanagan called Laird of Fintry that is really good but also expensive.
it is.. but totally worth it welki.. it's nectar
Molly, gets a bar os Swiss Chocolate!
600 pounds = 1050 CAD
yeah.. it's $425 here american
Molly would prefer a hunky swiss yodeler
Like I said, high end drinkers
hmmm - cheaper to buy in the states, works out to about 525/bottle
women's shoes cost more than that molly
I'll take the chocolate. Men in lederhosen freak me out. And not the women's shoes I buy
not my shoes!
lederhosen can be sexy molly :D
Only the elite rich spend high dollars on shoes
I've never owned a pair of shoes that even cost $100.
they can't hold a 'candle' to a tool belt
ok a guy in lederhosen with a TOOL Belt
my dress shoes cost a lot more than that bea
nah, just a tool belt. only a tool belt.
I read that Sarah Jessica Parker stepped in dog shit wearing a $700 pair of Jimmy Choos and took them off and threw them away right there on the street.
Yes, but not all mens dress shoes cost a lot more than that
*imagines Welki has a lot of repairs around the house these days *
now that my guy is retired, i think of all sorts of things that need fixing
I would pass on hunky in a heartbeat for a guy who can fix things
Hunks fade. Fixers never run out of tools.
According to HRH Jill, The Sweet Potato Queen, the best five words a man can say are "I'll take care of that".
yes - highland park is delicious
14 to go here
*Hides in the corner with her cheap beer
I joined in time for the scotch discussion! Love me some single malt.
12 now. going to list.
Harry has good taste
I also like the really peaty ones. balmore I think was one?
14 and following Harry
bowmore
you're on your own there Harry
firewords! tx welki, molly, lickety and all cluers
and I like that bourbon with the red plastic dripping around the sides.
don't mind the bowmore 18 - better than the 21, I think
maker's mark?
yes!
makers Mark
buy a big bottle at costco every year or so.
I don't know any bourbons but I know the red dripping
i have about 20 different bourbons here
holy cow. that's alot of bourbon
bourbons are not gluten free
mmmmmmm, love a maker's mark manhattan
really, not that that's keeping me from drinking it
(and stir it up a bit with orange bitters, instead of angoustura)
While I prefer Irish whiskey, Makers will do if that is all that's going
I cried a little when Ru lost a bunch of expensive liquor due to an earthquake
Irish whiskey is a bit too fiery for me
When do you move, Carla?
Ru, I got a bottle of Macallan Rare Cask 2020 for Christmas. I haven
(or sometimes peychaud's)
*haven't brought myself to open it yet
Really? I think Jameson is pretty mellow
nice gift
we are moved! old house is completely empty now, closing tomorrow. still trying to organize here.
Damn, that would be open and gone by now if it lived in my house
I had a 1978 MacCallan and a 25 year old MacCallan in the cabinet but they broke in the earthquake
Bet that feels good, Carla.
Did you cry, ru?
<----now singing rihanna's "cheers"
go
Devastating!
i did.. it was awful
thanks for the tip on Loki. Never tried it but it sounds like Yum
I can't afford them any longer now.. the 25 year old costs 7 x as much as I paid for it
*Thinks someone could make some money coming up with an "earthquake proof" liquor cabinet
oh Krysten the Loki is a life changing experience
well, mr homie is still having seller's remorse and is about to drive me crazy. can't look at this house as temporary until we find one we like and thinks he's moved down in the world. 🙄
gotta run! still 5 to go.
They did that song so much better on Smash. I can't stand Rhianna
used to buy the 21 yr MacCallan, but the 12 yr is closer to my budget now.
Poor Mr. Homie.
the 21 year is over $1,750 here nan
i could never spring for that much for a scotch
yes, I'm going back quite a few years, ru
the new whisky and whiskey prices are astounding to me
I'm not sure my palate is defined enough for scotch that expensive.
I don't even remember that song on smash. will have to look for it.
Oh yes it is krysten. You would flip out
I can’t stand Rhianna
One of my other favs is A'bunadh. Wow
*!*~*!* nice one today
hagd everyone.
Never had that one
Election day here --- hope we don't wind up with a PC majority (that would be like having Trump in office up here)
I saw a 2024 campaign sticker for him. I got sick to my stomach.
semding good vibes nan's way
It's not near as costly as some (about $105 CDN) but really smooth. It can be a bit hard to find tho.
Oh, and it's an Aberlour
i'll look for it.
there's a great place in San DIego called Whiskey house that pours over 3.300 different whiskeys from around the world by the glass
good morning everyone
it's amazing. i can find it there next trip to SD
Sounds like I need to plan a trip to San Diego! Unfortunately, there's nothing like this around me. I live too far outside of Toronto and live in too small a town for even our stores to carry much in the way of good scotch. And no one in my family likes it either. Husband likes his craft beer but that's about it.
I'm not seeing the DE8/9. Am I missing something obvious?
they have craft beer there too :D you can indulge .. it's a real experience
Build on DE 5/18 Joy.
Nice!
just keep putting it off joy
state LCB limiting puschase of certain brands, because of a shortage of glass to bottle.
ty...I tried that before but forget to double the R. Spelling counts!
I just got word that my daughter in law has gone into labour. Your good vibes would be appreciated. I might just be hitting the old whikkey later this evening.
good luck, soodle!
The glass shortage is the reason for the price hikes in all liquor
Nice chatting. Got to run. Happy Monday all.
what is the source? Offshore, i imagine...
vibes and prayers for health for all, Soodle
Very cute joke Soodle
I think I reported here a couple of weeks ago that I called the local ABC store to ask about boxes and he said they weren't getting any shipments. I heard a lot of NC ABC stores had a lot of empty shelves.
Could be the lack of truck drivers as well.
I know the glass factory in our town is running full out.
name that proper noun! swiss tennis great
Borg
Federer
nope, he's swedish, haha
ding ding ding!!! for ruru
ender
oops
my grandmother would've been 111 today. she lived to 96. can't believe it's been that long since she died.
what was she like, carla?
wow hokie.. what a life she must have lived.
sorry.. I know I lurk a lot but that is just amazing to me.
her eleventy-first birthday! :)
she was still mowing her yard and working in flowers in her early 90s but then had colon cancer and went to a nursing home. I think the nursing home killed her.
not literally, but not being able to do her stuff at her house
crazy to me to think of the changes she saw in the world from 1910-2006
No kidding!
don't see the DE 5/18 mentioned earlier
can i de5/18 starting college until next semester?
thanks, gave me an 8 too!
and a 9
well, not me because I'm not a mental giant
but now I have it
Need one more R...<sigh>
Weird how you have to add an extra consonant for the one who does and plural
I still need 4 + 1 R, and 25 other words
duh why could i not see that!
de 6/24, [;s

Or DC Seain's famous clue...I shot the se5, but I did not shoot the deputy
wth with the last br4
ends with three of the same consonants....
no, I know, I found it. But I tried it on a lark!
It is a great Scrabble word for those times when you have no vowels : D
yup...along with PSST.... ;o)
any clue please for the gr 8?
it's a color minus last consonant twice
lol thats what my kids called there grandpa should have seen that lol
thank you for the clue
of course that was my last B
yw cherlyq
seems like a similar G word should be a word (to the B)
any one else look at the spelling bee today on NYT and immediately try "HAPPYCAKE"?
I haven't looked yet
well then now you will, of course, lol
finally made it to 20 left here.
has been very slow going since 35 left
have you got ge8? i need it
ge 8 is without cooties
thanks
would have thought that would have to be written with a hyphen
now, GR8, that's just... that's just... obscure to say the least!
it is. only got it from a good clue. have seen if in french with different spelling.
and then i just could not get the de9. i looked and looked how to work the s in. so silly.
must need new glasses.
oh no. the infectious one. why am i so unintelligent.
it's like an advertising word
if it were a word
4 r's left
see i didn't look for how to put the S, i just put it. if it was there, it would go in, and if it wasn't, it wouldn't. it's like House's philosophy - treat instead of testing.
yes. no cost in taking a stab. unless you're house's patient.
fire works
wonder what he would have done to cure you no what lol
