rastapopolous

this is crazy - our well has a pitless, I'm sure they've been around as long as there's been deep water pumps....

5:10 am

rastapopolous

of course I now see it isn't even the grid. But it did tell me not in the dictionary.

5:25 am

MollyL

Proper noun?

5:26 am

MollyL

Some names are, some are not

5:26 am

rastapopolous

I suppose it's possible, though poking around online it's not capitalized

5:28 am

Does the se 10 use an ending? Or is it two words? Or does it have the monster ending? Just not seeing it. Ty.

10:25 am

mkg

Oh gee guess it cant use the monster ending or other ending requiring two s’s. Hm. Sorry.

10:25 am

MollyL

I just read an article that says pate and ri9 are two different things. Similar, but not the same.

10:26 am

rururocks

it's kind of a country rough pate actually but very much alike Pate is smoother

10:26 am

rururocks

we just had some in Kelowna and it was delicious

10:27 am

MollyL

Of course you did. I am sure the dining was high end on that trip.

10:27 am

mkg

Really need help with the ending for the ten. Please. Ty.

10:28 am

origami

Especially the chicken dish I made :D

10:31 am

MollyL

I admire you for that. I would be too intimidated to cook with Ru around.

10:34 am

mkg

Got the ten. Ty.

10:34 am

origami

We did have some terrific meals out, also.

10:45 am

saanichcat

we also could not find a working coffee pot in the house!

10:58 am

moolingwa

morning all

11:05 am

MollyL

No working coffee pot?? That is a catastrophe.

11:05 am

MollyL

I have to wonder what rental owners think sometimes.

11:25 am

rururocks

she had this funky keurig machine that made water with a few coffee grounds in it

11:26 am

dcseain

yeah, I learned to always make the smallest size cup on a Keurig to get anything resembling coffee, which meant two-three capsules every cup. so wasteful.

11:27 am

rururocks

I'm not impressed with the smaller keurig machines.. the bigger ones work better

11:27 am

dcseain

agreed with about the larger ones working better.

11:27 am

dcseain

though Nespresso I think is better.

11:30 am

rururocks

Actually Molly.. .I'm not all that great a chef. I am a pretty good cook though. I did make a really nice meal for us that was appreciated by everyone... Origami's was tasty too (although it comes with a really funny story)

11:32 am

MollyL

I am so unimpressed with Keurig machines. Not for serious coffee drinkers.

11:33 am

rururocks

i agree.. but we were really desperate until Ori found the small coffee maker in a cabinet in the Laundry room

11:34 am

MollyL

Basic stocking of a rental kitchen should include a teapot and a coffee maker along with all the other essentials.

11:34 am

rururocks

we had to buy a bunch of stuff at the store.. I think the owner spaced out on stocking stuff

11:35 am

saanichcat

like coffee, even!

11:35 am

MollyL

Well, I have never had a vacation rental that provided food or beverages, just dishes, silverware, cookware, etc.

11:37 am

rururocks

by the way two of our dinners were very casual and reasonable. (Tacos and margaritas on one meal) and then the other two were pricier but with the exchange rate not too bad

11:37 am

saanichcat

honestly I did not expect them at all except the owner said those essentials would be there

11:38 am

MollyL

Someone needs to have a liar, liar pants on fire chat with the owner.

11:40 am

rururocks

no pepper, no extra paper towels, no dishwashing soap, no extra TP, were the main problems

11:41 am

rururocks

no bath soaps either due to Millennials complaining about soap in the house (preferring body wash dispensers)

11:45 am

JaxH66

It's really funny how expectations are so different. In the UK we wouldn't consider a coffee maker essential in a holiday home. A teapot maybe, but not a coffee maker. Also we wouldn't expect soap etc to be left in bathrooms. We'd expect to bring our own.

11:47 am

MollyL

I have never expected any of the things Ru mentioned. Those are all "bring them yourself" stuff. A coffee pot is standard however.

11:52 am

rururocks

if you're focused on bringing Jimmy Buffet Margaritaville crocs, you can't be bothered with Soap I guess

11:54 am

rururocks

our house in qualicum the previous year had shower stuff (small containers like a hotel) and small high quality soaps.. it was nice. I will bring my own from here on out.

11:55 am

MollyL

Back in the day when I actually could afford vacations, our MO was get to the vacation rental, unpack the car, take stock of what is in the house, go to the store. First stop, liquor store 😊

11:56 am

saanichcat

pretty well the same Molly!

11:56 am

rururocks

that's exactly what we did.. although we hit the liquor store first :D

11:56 am

rururocks

<--- has his priorities in order

11:57 am

MollyL

Did I, or did I not say "first stop liquor store"?

11:58 am

saanichcat

You did; we did

11:58 am

MollyL

There is no point in grocery shopping sober 😊

11:59 am

saanichcat

ha ha!

11:59 am

rururocks

we hit the liquor store before going to the house to unpack.. being the professional imbibers that we are

12:05 pm

saanichcat

oh geez Elon Musk has just killed the blue bird and put in an X instead

12:10 pm

saanichcat

old news now I see, sorry

12:11 pm

MollyL

The headline was "Bye Bye Birdie"

12:12 pm

MollyL

Meta and X, hilarious

12:13 pm

MollyL

I guess the X is better than the Amazon penis

12:13 pm

rururocks

amazon penis?

12:17 pm

MollyL

You have never noticed that the Amazon logo looks like a penis?

12:18 pm

rururocks

um no.. it looks like an arrow

12:19 pm

MollyL

Well you are one of the few. There are a lot of articles about Amazon's phallic logo.

12:20 pm

rururocks

oh... I know Jeff Bezos shafted the competition..

12:20 pm

saanichcat

someone got the shaft

12:21 pm

rururocks

I rarely use Amazon, preferring to buy from Stores (Very old-fashioned in that way)

12:21 pm

saanichcat

snap Paul

12:24 pm

hokie carla

it was brought to my attention a couple of weeks ago that the arrow in the amazon logo goes from a to z, because they carry everything from a to z.

12:26 pm

MollyL

I am just the opposite. I can't stand shopping and Amazon and Instacart are my best friends.

12:28 pm

hokie carla

I am the same. esp since we moved. it's 20 min in any direction to a store, and some of them are 30-45 min drive.
