Hope your day goes well.

7:13 am

Trifioso

im covering an english class right now, for juniors - they look like full grown adults, and they are LOVELY - not a discipline issue in sight! it's absolute heaven

7:14 am

72 Temple Owl

good

7:15 am

72 Temple Owl

this grid is a stinler. until now, i thought the total was over 200.. thank god.

7:17 am

Uneaixoise

7:17 am

7:18 am

72 Temple Owl

here's to no rain!

7:18 am

Trifioso

morning welki

7:18 am

72 Temple Owl

hi welk

7:21 am

72 Temple Owl

the name of the zydeco musician we saw saturday is i the grid! too bad he was not very good, imo

7:22 am

welki

but you danced :)

7:22 am

Trifioso

ziggy marley?

7:23 am

72 Temple Owl

some. since they advertise it on meetup, it's changed the gender balance. and yoi know men.

7:23 am

72 Temple Owl

AAAAAH! you will reveice a lolvely parting gift.

7:24 am

72 Temple Owl

andre theirry

7:24 am

72 Temple Owl

i was eager to get back after four months out so i went anyway.

7:24 am

Trifioso

i didn't know you were a meetup person, Temple. I have been thinking of using that for some astronomy things - is it strictly for dating? I thought it was just like minded people....

7:24 am

72 Temple Owl

thierry

7:25 am

72 Temple Owl

oh no, it's NOT for dating. though people have met partners that way. it's interest baded.

7:25 am

72 Temple Owl

based

7:25 am

Trifioso

excellent. in general, have you had a good experience with the group outings?

7:25 am

72 Temple Owl

you can find groups for anything.

7:26 am

72 Temple Owl

depends on the group. the first i joined was mainly social, bit i got bored with it after a year or so, same old stuff.

7:27 am

Trifioso

the one i am interested in puts together cruises out of plymouth harbor to go look at meteor showers - how cool is that?

7:27 am

72 Temple Owl

but other memners would suggest other groups i the area they belonged to, so it starts from there. meetup has brought more money into the dance scene but has greated gender imbalance.

7:28 am

72 Temple Owl

very cool i would do that in a heartbeat

7:29 am

72 Temple Owl

i tried a travel group but it was mostly travel agents trying to fill their excussions. it's a trial and error process.

7:29 am

8:52 am

MollyL

Forty doesn't have a u in it for the same reason we don't use twoty (twenty) or fivety (fifty). And the reason is...because that is how someone thought the words looked best. (Just guessing)

8:54 am

dfmchfhf

twenty is actually because humans used to use base 20 ("score") and, like ten, it got a special word... then it was imported into english from another language

8:55 am

dfmchfhf

pretty sure 40 is because people thought it looked better without the u though

8:56 am

Trifioso

silly people

8:56 am

rururocks

all the brits are upset at the loss of the u however

8:56 am

dfmchfhf

the same people thought it would be better to spell the words "tough", "though", and "through" with the same -ough ending too

8:56 am

Trifioso

they don't spell it that way either

8:57 am

Trifioso

i always make my students laugh when I point out what happens when you add an S at the beginning of laughter.....

8:59 am

rururocks

I see your brother is in the grid trif

9:00 am

Trifioso

joe? lol

9:00 am

rururocks

yes.. or as we like to call him trifeolo

9:01 am

Trifioso

lol

9:01 am

Trifioso

bell is about to ring

9:12 am

MollyL

I'm surprised Trif is not referring to Valentine as Contorni now
: D

9:13 am

rururocks

wpw that is an anagram of my pet name

9:14 am

rururocks

wow that is

9:14 am

rururocks

toocorni

9:15 am

MollyL

And here I thought your pet name was Beloved.

9:15 am

MollyL

: D

9:16 am

Trifioso

why on earth would I call him "side dishes?"

9:23 am

rururocks

is that what it means side dish?

9:24 am

rururocks

maybe you find him appetizering trif :D

9:25 am

MollyL

It was the only menu term I could find that goes with Primo, Secondo and Tertiare.

9:25 am

rururocks

has anyone ever made cocktail meatballs using ketchup and kelly (not cocktail sauce)? I have frozen meatballs i want to get rid of

1:54 pm

NANCY

Our family makes them with Welch grape jelly and Heinz chili sauce, they are great this way.

1:55 pm

72 Temple Owl

i bought the meatballs because i have a guest who demand meat with pasta always, and had the nerve tos ay he could not tell my homemade from frozen. it may have been a joke, but he's history and i still have the meaqtballs.

1:56 pm

harpjane

found a baby horse

1:56 pm

72 Temple Owl

i do not care for them, they are not browned, so am wondering if the sauce will give them oomph.

1:57 pm

72 Temple Owl

i tried to salvage them by browning them, but it did not work.

1:57 pm

NANCY

yes, just slow cook in a crook pot. they will be delicious.

1:58 pm

72 Temple Owl

thank you. i saw a recope that ised kethcup and jelly. bbq sauce would also work.

1:58 pm

72 Temple Owl

1:59 pm

harpjane
