and so how is everyone enjoying this isolation caper. i am sooooo bored that i have offered to play a game of othello with DH. which he wins every time !!

12:45 am

m9f9l

I'm still working. But my hours are finally down. I was working 12 pluses for months

12:46 am

grannyrose

ugh m9. how awful.

12:46 am

m9f9l

My poor 6 year old granddaughter wants to see her friends and go to gymnastics :(

12:47 am

Jacula

I have never been bored yet in all my 63 years, and I doubt I ever will be.

12:47 am

m9f9l

Yeah, when my hours went down I slept a LOT for a couple days.

12:47 am

grannyrose

i know. and my 5 year old g/daughter has taken to running around the room without using the floor. her poor mother is te4ing her hair out.

12:48 am

grannyrose

hey ya jac. you are so amazing. i am so loving your posts on FB. xox

12:48 am

m9f9l

It's hard on my ol' brain to be on one thing for 12 hours straight for so long!

12:49 am

Jacula

Thanks, granny rose re the FB stuff.xx

12:50 am

grannyrose

in case everyone does NOT know, let me introduce Jacula. autor extraordinaire, nitter without peer, and baker of such yummy thing you can smell them through the screen.

12:50 am

grannyrose

*author*

12:50 am

Jacula

But I'm an earth mama, just like Donovan once said.

12:51 am

grannyrose

UGH...LOLL *knitter*

12:52 am

Jacula

Thanks for the intro! Gosh! I'll haveto keep on living up to that now!;)

12:52 am

grannyrose

folks go find her if you haven't already. she is just the most accomplished person i know.

12:52 am

m9f9l

I agree, no boredom :)

12:52 am

m9f9l

but I sure do miss my choirs.

12:53 am

Jacula

Singing is a great thing to do to keep the spirit up, m9.

12:55 am

m9f9l

Yup. And listening to music. Yay for youtube!

12:55 am

m9f9l

I sing a lot at work. Sometimes my clients don't know what to think of me :)

12:55 am

grannyrose

it's strange. all my life i couldn't sing a note to save myself. then i turned .. ahem... a certain age. my voice changed almost overnight. DH who has the most beautiful tenor and an ear for music, says i am ow pitch perfect. very strange.

12:55 am

m9f9l

And just about everything is a song reference to me!!

12:56 am

m9f9l

That's very interesting granny!

12:56 am

grannyrose

*now*

12:56 am

Jacula

I've been listening to The Andrews Sisters and Anne Shelton, recalling my parents' p;d 78rpms.

12:57 am

grannyrose

such harmony. i love singing in different harmonies, blending . i am actually an alto we have found out.

12:58 am

m9f9l

i've been listening to Mat and Savannah Shaw, the Killers, all sorts of arias...

12:58 am

Jacula

I used to be in the school choir until my voice changed to somewhere bewtween soprano and alto, some kind of mezzo, I can sing along happily with Marelene Dietrich, Alison Moyet and Kiki Dee.

12:59 am

m9f9l

I am most definitely a soprano

12:59 am

marksdolly

fireworks!!

12:59 am

grannyrose

at church, some of the hymns are sung in harmony. i love it. sometimes it's men, then women, then all together. other times it lower notes, followed by higher notes, then all together. i love he4ing it happen.

12:59 am

m9f9l

I worry about my Friday choir. I lead one at a local senior community.

12:59 am

Jacula

Well done marksdolly!

1:00 am

marksdolly

ty!!

1:00 am

grannyrose

WTG MARKSDOLLY !!

1:00 am

marksdolly

any clues needed before I scoot?

1:00 am

m9f9l

At church, I challenge myself to sing soprano on the first verse, alto on the second, tenor and then sometimes bass an octave higher. It's good for my sightreading.

1:00 am

m9f9l

Woot, woot, Mark!!

1:01 am

marksdolly

ty :)

1:02 am

grannyrose

time to go look for some munchies. i think there is a box of crisps somewhere. happy babbling everyone. see you at the flip. xox

1:16 am

Jacula

3:12 am

rbud

yay, done. laters, all! :)

4:08 am

mattygroves

Does the an8 begin with 'also' (as it were?) Oh, and hi and good morning!

4:12 am

stu mcc

Hi Matty , it does start that way yes

4:18 am

mattygroves

Thanks, Stu. D'ya reckon it's a word I would use in conversation?

4:20 am

mattygroves

Found it. And no, I wouldn't ;)

4:20 am

stu mcc

only if you're a vulcanologist !

4:21 am

stu mcc

Hope you are keeping well though

4:21 am

mattygroves

I am, thank you! You?

4:22 am

stu mcc

Boringly safe thanks , bit hacked off that all of this year's gigs look to be out of the window

4:23 am

mattygroves

Yeah. We almost bought tickets to Cropredy but didn't. Just as well

4:25 am

stu mcc

we did catch Fairport in Feb but all the others we booked - including Cropredy - I've mostly written off . Still . I've got plenty of time to listen to the records !

5:43 am

MollyL

Looks like rain all day for us. I'm glad all I have to do that involves going out is a beer run.

6:06 am

Deeha

6:50 am

MollyL

Sorry, bacon stuffed French toast

7:08 am

Uneaixoise

Yum!

7:08 am

MollyL

Une, it's almost fresh peach time : )

7:11 am

BzznBea

I was excited about Sunday breakfast here until I read about the french toast...

7:23 am

Deeha

i couldnt understand how you could stuff french toast! Here we make frenh toast by toasting cut bad cutting it in half across then toasting it again so it is a bit like a crispbread. I looked up your recipe and I think we'ed call that eggy bread or when I was young we were told it was called Poor Knights Pudding

7:24 am

Deeha

cut bad?? Cut brread

7:25 am

BzznBea

And the

7:25 am

MollyL

Eggy bread. That is so British. Like figgy pudding.

7:25 am

BzznBea

And the French call it Pain Perdu...Go figure.

7:26 am

MollyL

Pain perdu makes me think chicken
: D

7:27 am

BzznBea

Do you let your FT soak over night, Molly?

7:28 am

MollyL

No, I only do that if I'm making the breakfast casserole with bread cubes.

7:29 am

BzznBea

Were you able to find yeast this week?

7:34 am

MollyL

Not in the stores. I bought some from Amazon.

7:35 am

BzznBea

I saw an article about making your own yeast...hmmm?

7:37 am

MollyL

Probably better than the article I saw on what to use instead of toilet paper and how to dispose of it. Apparently, toilets everywhere are clogged because people are flushing Kleenex and paper towels.

7:38 am

periwinkle

hi all.

7:38 am

periwinkle

there was a brief show on PBS last night about quiltmaking and I thought of you Bea

7:39 am

periwinkle

and hokie

7:39 am

BzznBea

I'm sure it was. This was from a blog by a woman who tries to do self sustained living...Can't remeber what that is called.

7:40 am

BzznBea

That was nice, peri. I finished my quilt top yesterday. Now I have to baste it for quilting.

7:41 am

MollyL

I would need a greenhouse and somewhere to fish if I were going to live on what I grew and/or caught.

7:49 am

MLFAN17

may I have a clue for the ni5 on the 4th column pls?

7:50 am

mattygroves

7:50 am

BzznBea

MLFAN17

7:51 am

bichon

di 7/36, pls

7:52 am

mattygroves

No longer in operation

7:52 am

mattygroves

Oh, sorry - that's the 40

7:52 am

BzznBea

Add a vowel in the middle of the one matty clued

7:53 am

mattygroves

I...did not expect that to work. Thanks Bea

7:54 am

MLFAN17

bzz what do you mean quit reading the chat?

7:54 am

bichon

matty, no longer in use?

7:54 am

mattygroves

Well, yes, but that gives away a big part of the answer!

7:55 am

MLFAN17

bichon I tried a word that I thought it was but that's not working

7:55 am

MLFAN17

does it have a high point tile in the word?

7:56 am

mattygroves

Are we still talking about the di7?

7:56 am

MLFAN17

i hope so

7:57 am

mattygroves

Well, the di7/36 can only have, well, 36 points, so no especially high point tiles in there (nothing bigger than a 2)

7:57 am

bichon

I have the 7/40, still need the di 7/36

7:57 am

BzznBea

Add a vowel in the middle, bichon

7:57 am

MLFAN17

i don't have either

7:57 am

mattygroves

The 7/36 is like the 6/40 but with an unexpected vowel in the middle.

7:58 am

mattygroves

Find the di6/24 and your lives will become much easier

7:58 am

mattygroves

People talk about a di7/40 railway station or factory, for example - derelict...

7:58 am

wvteach

have DI 6/24 x 3 - not finding the 7s

7:58 am

BzznBea

And bichon had the three letter word in her last question

7:59 am

mattygroves

7:59 am

BzznBea

They all include a word for to utilize

7:59 am

MLFAN17

i don't have any di6's

8:00 am

bichon

I don't get the 7/36 clue

8:00 am

MLFAN17

oh i have one di6 now

8:00 am

mattygroves

Once you find some, you'll find at least one of the 7s comes easier

8:00 am

mattygroves

Bichon, if you have an email address, I can send you the word, if you like?

8:00 am

Lizlin

Thanks for the Di 7/36.

8:09 am

mattygroves

Top row greyed, fourth column greyed.

8:26 am

hokie carla

hello. just sat down and almost grayed out the first row right off the bat, just need 1 d. that never happens.

8:27 am

BzznBea

Morning, Carla. I was trying to load more of my stitching to my flicker account.

8:28 am

hokie carla

ooh, you'll have to share your flicker.

8:29 am

MollyL

It's in her profile

8:29 am

hokie carla

oh, I just clicked before I typed that and didn't see it. guess I should read closer.

8:30 am

hokie carla

ah, to the side. I forgot that was an option on here

8:30 am

hokie carla

will check it out!

8:31 am

hokie carla

shite is one of my fave british words and I always want it to work here

8:32 am

amelu0218

and it never does ~:o(

8:32 am

hokie carla

nope

8:33 am

MollyL

The regular sh4 works just fine for me

8:33 am

hokie carla

yeah, but shite just sounds so much better

8:33 am

amelu0218

on at least an hourly basis, lol

8:33 am

MollyL

I think it sounds kind of snooty, but that's just me

8:34 am

hokie carla

I used to play soccer with some scottish guys so shite and rubbish got a lot of use

8:34 am

amelu0218

I think Scottish, but that's me

8:34 am

hokie carla

and they weren't always talking about my playing :D

8:35 am

BzznBea

Since I don't listen to the news...Any states lifted the SIP order? I know NC has extended ours.

8:35 am

hokie carla

I think all the states around us did, bea, except VA

8:37 am

BzznBea

Carla, have you heard of fabric slashing?

8:37 am

amelu0218

with ya, Bea. No news. When I need to report back to work (other than the daily safety check-in and minute by minute accounting for the day), I figure they'll call me.

8:37 am

hokie carla

love the pics, bea! and no, I don't think so re: fabric slashing

8:38 am

BzznBea

Google it or look on Pinterest. That is what I am going to do with lots of my fabric scraps.

8:39 am

hokie carla

ok, I will look

8:39 am

BzznBea

And thank you, Carla. Those were the only pics I had on my computer. Trying to get more downloaded.

8:44 am

hokie carla

added my instagram if you want to see some things I've made. will try to add more quilts to that. most of them were on FB before I started insta and deleted FB.

8:45 am

hokie carla

we almost have a good hissy fit in the grid

8:55 am

MollyL

This self sustaining thing needs to end. Having to cut my son's hair is one more thing I do not need on my TO DO list.

8:57 am

hokie carla

lol, my 17yo son asked yesterday when I thought sports clips was going to open. I said I thought it would be a while but offered to do it. now, I cut his hair about to age 14 but he looked at me like I was crazy.

8:57 am

MollyL

I imagine the salons will be booked for months, once they open up again.

8:58 am

MollyL

I used to cut my kids hair when they were little. But once puberty arrived, that was NOT COOL anymore.

8:59 am

hokie carla

well, the oldest made me stop doing his earlier but the youngest was afraid to go somewhere. then once he started going somewhere else I guess he forgot I could do it.

9:02 am

hokie carla

it all started when they were younger and I took them to a kids salon and the girl absolutely butchered both haircuts. I was like, surely I can do better than that and for lot cheaper. and yes, I could.

9:04 am

Flask1

Good afternoon everyone....clue please for AN/8?

9:05 am

MollyL

For me it was just about staying in budget.

9:05 am

hokie carla

did not know that was the 8, will look now

9:06 am

Flask1

Sorry Carla....am not liking this grid at all...

9:06 am

hokie carla

ok, no idea, flask

9:07 am

hokie carla

I like it better than the previous 3 days. was going pretty smoothly but am stuck now with 27 left.

9:09 am

hokie carla

almost missed my favorite appalachian english

9:09 am

Flask1

thanks anyway, Carla....

9:10 am

rururocks

i found the an 8 if someone still needs it

9:10 am

hokie carla

yes please

9:11 am

rururocks

an8 a place in the high mountains of argentina

9:11 am

hokie carla

9:12 am

Flask1

Oh man...very clever clue...thanks Ruru!

9:12 am

hokie carla

22 left! 7 4's, so that's what I'll focus on now. not sure where they could be hiding.

9:14 am

phaeton

di7/36?

9:15 am

hokie carla

don't have that either

9:15 am

hokie carla

not one who di6, as much as I keep trying

9:15 am

MollyL

Stick an E in the middle of the di6/24

9:16 am

hokie carla

hmm, I have 3 and think I tried it with each

9:17 am

phaeton

it's the di7 after the di4 that means noise

9:18 am

NatashaW

ah, it's a word that maybe describes Sarah Bernhardt reciting at a Paris salon

9:18 am

hokie carla

not sure what any of that means, but finally added the e in the right place to the right 6

9:19 am

phaeton

ty ...finally figured out what Molly said

9:19 am

hokie carla

thx to all

9:19 am

NatashaW

9:32 am

MollyL

Breakfast trumps Babble anytime

9:32 am

hokie carla

is fi7 a compound or something I should know?

9:32 am

BzznBea

compound - camera lens

9:32 am

MollyL

It is a compound, but weird

9:32 am

hokie carla

ah, thanks

9:33 am

hokie carla

9:40 am

hokie carla

still 5 left after the list. ugh. guess I should eat breakfast.

9:40 am

phaeton

vi6?

9:40 am

hokie carla

one of my missing 5, so I guess I better stay and watch for clues

9:41 am

Uneaixoise

Tx for fi7 :-)

9:42 am

BzznBea

vi6 is vi + baby plant

9:42 am

NatashaW

vi5,18 with another vowel stuck in

9:42 am

hokie carla

thx bea. I thought that would make the 7 easy but no.

9:42 am

phaeton

ty

9:43 am

Uneaixoise

Tx!

9:44 am

NatashaW

the 7 is a wholly different word relating to speed

9:45 am

doseffing

... it's actually the french word for speed and I've never seen it in English .... ....

9:45 am

hokie carla

ok, french I'm screwed. will look it up, thx

9:46 am

rururocks

oh thanks

9:47 am

doseffing

... starts with the French for "fast" (which you are more likely to have heard)

9:47 am

hokie carla

I looked it up, never seen it before

9:48 am

doseffing

... take four years of French in high school and have a whole mess of French speaking relations and you'll see it

9:48 am

hokie carla

fireworks, thanks to any and all cluers and list makers. it takes a village.

9:48 am

BzznBea

Today the proverbial question will be answered.

9:49 am

rururocks

9:49 am

BzznBea

Which came first? The chicken or the egg?

Atalante

super speedy trains (tm)

11:48 am

Atalante

hurshy

11:50 am

hurshy

rilla is in her post-suckle state of contentment

11:50 am

Atalante

The name "Bullet Train" is the English translation of the Japanese word dangan ressha (弾丸列車), which was the name given to the project while it was being made in the 1940s. Nowadays, the trains are called Shinkansen trains. The name Shinkansen means "New Trunk Line". The trains are called "Super Expresses".

11:50 am

hurshy

that's more reasonable, i think

11:51 am

Atalante

I've been on a bullet train and a TGV :)
