gremlinn

12:38 am
Gillie
So close to having "beasties"
12:40 am
gremlinn

licketySplitAUS

justafreep
thanks, lickety
12:47 am
Gillie
It doesn't take "minibar"!
12:48 am
justafreep

1:01 am
hokie carla

8:19 am
MollyL
First part of piece of data + last 4 of not take, plural
8:20 am
MollyL
Some weird ass grammar word
8:22 am
hokie carla
hmm, no keep in the grid
8:22 am
hokie carla
wait, what am I saying
8:23 am
MollyL
I have no clue
8:23 am
hokie carla
yeah, I'm lost on what the opposite of take would be. need more sleep apparently.
8:23 am
MollyL
It is a saying ____ and take
8:24 am
hokie carla
ah, thanks
8:24 am
mael
thanks Molly
8:24 am
MollyL
I would ____ you a hint but I don't think you'd get it
8:24 am
MollyL
(this is so mkg-like)
8:25 am
mael
still weird that statin is not a word
8:25 am
hokie carla
maybe if you'd just said an adj ending I might've seen that
8:26 am
hokie carla
agreed mael
8:27 am
hokie carla
also still weird that mooer isn't a word. cows are mooers!
8:28 am
MollyL
*Mental note: clue the way it is easiest for Carla
8:28 am
hokie carla
I'm finding this grid very difficult. lots of tiles with a lot of words left.
8:28 am
hokie carla
I have grayed one tile, the single i
8:29 am
hokie carla
I've been saying that for a while, you gotta know your audience. like, I don't give nan any pop culture clues anymore.
8:30 am
mael
I have a bunch grayed out but I'm still finding it tricky. Only two 8s and no 9 yet
8:30 am
hokie carla
I also have 2 8s and no 9
8:31 am
vashongin
I thought minibar would work, but no
8:31 am
mael
I'm hopping out to uncover my poor plants since we got a late frost last night, I'll be back in a jiffy
8:31 am

I tried that too!
8:33 am
vashongin
me too, hokie carla
8:33 am
vashongin
I am almost done with my first pass through the board, I willl see where I am at then
8:34 am
hokie carla
I did first pass last night. second pass not going much better.
8:34 am
vashongin
minorities - ghost
8:35 am
hokie carla
but I'm having a lot of problems with my wifi dropping out. I don't know if it's the router or my laptop, but I'm sure there are words I typed that aren't in my list.
8:35 am
hokie carla
I did try minorities last night
8:36 am
MollyL
Well, mael asked for the clue, and she got it, so I'm batting 50%
8:38 am
hokie carla
hey, grayed another tile!
8:41 am
hokie carla
and another, both were o's
8:46 am

8:48 am
vashongin
on my second cup of coffee...I have 30 minutes to play before I have to leave to catch a ferry to work
8:48 am
hokie carla
go go go!
8:49 am
marksdolly
how long is the ferry ride Vash?'
8:49 am
vashongin
15 minutes
8:50 am
marksdolly
not bad, I would like that
8:50 am
marksdolly
and not dealing with traffic
8:50 am
vashongin
I work less that 5 miles from work as the crow flies...takes me about an hour to get to work
8:50 am
marksdolly
smart choice for you then!
8:51 am
hokie carla
phantom trivet
8:51 am
Dorens
how expensive are the ferry rides vash?
8:51 am
vashongin
traffic is not bad...just have to get in line about 10-15 minutes before ferry leaves to make sure I'm on it
8:52 am
vashongin
about $20 to get on the island....I don't pay for it, my work does
8:52 am
vashongin
you only pay to get on, no charge to leave
8:53 am
vashongin
hubby and I commute together on Thursdays....we get breakfast - it's our date morning
8:53 am
marksdolly
that's cool!
8:55 am
rururocks
I don't think I'll have to take the ferry when I move up there
8:56 am
vashongin
Vashon is an island between Seattle and Tacoma...only way to get here is by ferry with your car.
8:57 am
rururocks
I know.. I'll be in Port Townsend so the only Ferry I'll need is to Vancouver Island I can drive to Tacoma and Seattle directly
8:58 am
Kaplan the Magne
I was on Vashon Island before the pandemic! Antivax capital of the world! Once upon a time in Hollywood was in the theater. It did feel like a throwback. I had to hitchhike!
8:59 am
vashongin
Best way to get around Vashon, Kaplan
8:59 am
vashongin
We have more than 80% vaccinated for Covid
9:00 am
vashongin
Takes a pandemic to change minds
9:01 am
Kaplan the Magne
Well, that's good! I was picked up by two smelly kids from upper north, there I was hitching. Good most got vaccinated for Covid...Beautiful island.
9:01 am
vashongin
Port Townsend is awesome! Love that area
9:01 am

We stayed at an artist's air b7b. It was really nice.
9:02 am

Vash, that 9 is Re9 and you add it to st 7/40
9:03 am
hokie carla
mael, you reminded me...I asked at the roadside stand when I was getting strawberries the other day about when the peaches were coming, and she said there might not be any this year due to a late freeze. Oh, the humanity!
9:04 am
marksdolly
twas a long stretch of guessing for me
9:04 am
Kaplan the Magne
It was such a time warp in a good way. This artist had her home and a cabin on the lot for an air b&b. She worked with gas, I think. Little did we know that 2019 would be the last vacation for a while
9:04 am
mael
yeah, local strawberries and blueberries might not happen this year

10:35 am

10:47 am
hurshy
i think i may as well list now
10:47 am
hokie carla
well, bad news, molly...the amazon number you gave (which is also listed on GetHuman.com) is the same as having them call you like I did the other day. They are too busy, you should do chat instead, have to answer robot questions, none of which apply.
10:47 am
hurshy
my A was fishy!
10:48 am

och, aye, a robbie burns B word!

amazon is definitely getting worse, even as they try to extend their tentacles more by establishing Amazon Clinic and Amazon Pharmacy in the healthcare sector. stupid tryna take over the world!
10:50 am
MollyL
I think Amazon got too big to address all their customer service issues with real people so they just gave up. Bad form.
10:52 am
hurshy
yeah, my sister recently had a package get stuck in transit (or lost?) and when they asked her if she wanted refund or replacement, she chose replacement for 3 of the items, but then they issued a refund instead for at least one of them. they're just like "urf, replacement is too much work, we were just kidding when we offered that, have a refund instead."

And I buck the trends around here

11:47 am
bichon
we had frost. I had just put out all my annuals
11:48 am
MollyL
I'm just sad to hear that most of the peach crops have been ruined due to colder than usual Spring temperatures.
11:48 am
MollyL
This is supposed to be the big strawberry picking weekend at our local pick your own farm. I wonder how the strawberries did.
11:49 am
hokie carla
we've been having really good strawberries, but they are almost done.
11:49 am
hokie carla
maybe are done now because it's been a week since I went
11:50 am
bichon
never take of your flannel sheets til Memorial Day
11:50 am
MollyL
I could never sleep with flannel sheets. I would wake up soaking wet.
11:52 am
bichon
flannel sheets, flannel duvet. Goo when the night go down to the teens
11:52 am
MollyL
I would definitely be goo. I run very warm.
11:53 am
MollyL
I rarely even sleep with a blanket. Just a cotton sheet.
11:55 am
bichon
We sleep in a room with the heat turned down to 40degrees
11:55 am
bichon
with a fluffy dog
11:56 am
hokie carla
ok, that's messed up. 40 degrees! I can't deal with 60s.
11:57 am
MollyL
I don't run the heat at night.
11:57 am
MollyL
Unless it's like 5 degrees out.
11:57 am
hokie carla
and I do have flannel sheets, though they've been off a while. I also have a heated mattress pad that I love, but do wake up sweaty a lot.
11:58 am
MollyL
My daughter-in-law would love a heated mattress pad. My son would hate it though. He runs warm like me.
11:59 am

We're hardy New Englanders. Plus, dog make heat

back from hairdresser. she is very nice but does not hear me when I tell her what kind of color I want. last time hair was too light and today it is too dark.
1:11 pm
periwinkle
I want highlights. I may try one more time with her and try something myself or find someone new
1:12 pm
penquis
frustrating...
1:12 pm
periwinkle
or try something myself is what it should have said
1:12 pm
periwinkle
I can do one color myself for a lot less money and may go back to that
1:13 pm
penquis
or try a new hairdresser...
1:13 pm
periwinkle
I wish my natural hair was all one color.
1:13 pm
periwinkle
I may have to do that if I still want my hair colored ,pen
1:14 pm
penquis
mine is all gray/white.....one color basically....
1:14 pm
periwinkle
it is very nervewracking going to a new hairdreser
1:14 pm
periwinkle
my hair is white at the temples and gray and natural color for the rest
1:15 pm
penquis
i see your problem...
1:15 pm
hokie carla
I went to a salon for the first time in like 4 years last week. have been doing my own trims and color. is nice to have an actual haircut and highlights again.
1:15 pm
hokie carla
and this was a new one since I just moved here, but she was great
1:21 pm
penquis
I need a break....bbl for those last pesky 60 words....bye all....
1:30 pm
MollyL
I think it is always better to let a hairdresser do color. People who do their own color often get that "flat" look.
