1:20 am

dcseain

hello, sprite, best with the retirement, but it sounds like yall are well set for a lovely time.

1:21 am

sprite

yeah made sense to me too, but I am not sure I would have tried all by myself

1:21 am

dcseain

agreed, rose, i’ve just never seen those spellings.

1:21 am

grannyrose

there you are.... thought you had fallen in, or been side-tracked by Rob. lol

1:23 am

sprite

think it will be great, seain. Rob was already working from home a lot, and we have lived for more than four years in a small caravan, even during covid, so we are used to being close together all the time. I see less of him than a year ago, lol. He has picked up a new passion, archery.

1:24 am

grannyrose

sprite, seain, i went to have my nails done, and this lady sat down beside me. i casually flicked a glance at her, and nearly fell off my chair. it was one of the nurses i used to work with at my last post.all our excited chatter had the staff grinning from ear to ear. at the moment she has stopped nursing, and is now a train driver.

1:24 am

sprite

ooo good one

1:25 am

dcseain

how lovely, rose

1:25 am

sprite

oh wow, that is lovely, rose!

1:26 am

grannyrose

yeah, and she wants to stay in touch still. we did work well together back in the day.

1:26 am

dcseain

i’m enjoing the chatting, but i need to be up early enough to get cat food, come home, go to the metro and into DC to meet a friend an the Smithsonian Natural History Museum around 12:30. So i should sleep, as the sleepy side effect of my diuretic has kicked in.

1:27 am

dcseain

Happy babbling, yall!

1:27 am

grannyrose

1:27 am

'morning, ru

9:21 am

rururocks

hi welks.. you been able to golf now?

9:22 am

welki

in between wind and rain, yes - golfing more than i ever have. pretty amazing that i haven't improved even a tiny bit

9:23 am

welki

a gal just joined the group, moved here from parksville (you were looking near there for a while, i think)

9:23 am

rururocks

I don't know how people do it.. i'm just not coordinated for that game.

9:24 am

welki

neither am i, ru - but once you get over the hit the ball, fetch the ball, mindset, it can still be fun

9:24 am

welki

it helps that i golf with folks that don't give a rat's patootie about rules and score

9:25 am

rururocks

that's good. it was that way when I started tennis, but got a lot better though

9:26 am

hurshy

pg wodehouse wrote a lot of funny short stories involving golf

9:27 am

welki

it's just good for us to be outside. we're planning a camping trip next month, will be camped alongside a trout stream in the middle of nowhere

9:27 am

rururocks

that's cool..

9:28 am

welki

thanks, hursh - i've looked them up and will try to read them

10:10 am

welki

haha! "She could not have gazed at him with a more rapturous intensity if she had been a small child and he a saucer of ice cream."

Thanks again, hurshy, this is going to be fun :)

10:11 am

origami

I liked his Jeeves stories.

10:14 am

welki

i think i might go out of my comfort zone and get these stories as audio books - hearing them with a British accent might make them even funnier

10:15 am

welki

(the british accent in my head only makes them slightly funnier)

10:19 am

hurshy

:)

10:20 am

hurshy

i just had a nap lol

10:23 am

hurshy

glad the one comment i threw in before falling asleep bore such fruit

10:23 am

hurshy

Ss Smacked!

10:24 am

welki

hurshy, more than you know - i'm done with the first story. pity my library doesn't have them, only samples, but i'll find them somewhere.

10:24 am

hurshy

i think i bought "the golf omnibus" as a used book myself

10:26 am

origami

Thriftbooks has a lot of his titles.

10:27 am

hurshy

one of my favorite small details when watching The Crown was that when Mohamed al Fayed hired that British servant who used to work for one of the royals or something, and asked him to teach him what he really needed to know to fit it and be accepted by the Brits, the guy handed him PG Wodehouse and said "read this".

10:28 am

Shephard

hello everyone! Could someone please clue me the to5/10

10:30 am

Shephard

found it

10:33 am

welki

ohhhh, that's a great site! but .. always a but .. it's in us dollars and they charge just about the price of the book for shipping to canada

10:34 am

welki

maybe i'll wait until next time we're south of the border and take advantage of their free shipping to u.s. addresses

10:35 am

origami

I get buy a lot of books from them ... being south of the border.

10:36 am

origami

*buy rather

10:38 am

hurshy

hmmm, now what can my last F be...

10:42 am

welki

fi7 maybe?

10:43 am

hurshy

i have one of those... which i think comes from the lower F? my missing one is from the top

10:44 am

Gillie

My last 2 (just entered) were fe6,27 and fr5,16

10:45 am

hurshy

have fe6/27, very vowelly word

10:45 am

hurshy

have 4 fr5/16s

10:47 am

Gillie

It's the fr5,16 then - ends with a metal

10:47 am

hurshy

no that's one of the ones i have :(

10:48 am

Gillie

Sorry - the fir fe6,27 is another spelling of the mythical person

10:48 am

hurshy

this suggests it's something obvs that i should have gotten, instead :(

10:48 am

Gillie

There are 2 fe6,27

10:49 am

hurshy

ahhh, thanks, i had the latin plural one but not that one!

10:49 am

hurshy

apparently that is a scots adj meaning healthy and strong

10:50 am

Gillie

Oops - I just assumed it was the little winged person

10:51 am

hurshy

yeah but i've discovered that a lot of times these words aren't what i think. like sinh, i figured they were including from math, hyperbolic sin, and didn't understand why tanh didn't also count, but it turned out there was a whole other unrelated meaning for sinh

10:51 am

hurshy

so lately i try to click the ? more

10:52 am

Gillie

Dictionary.com only seems to know about hyperbolic sine for sinh

10:54 am

hurshy

i don't remember what the other thing was but

10:54 am

hurshy

it was a whole big thing in chat the day i found out

10:54 am

Gillie

I see that Wikipedia shows it as an item of clothing

10:55 am

11:08 am

hurshy

11:09 am

Gillie

No - found it using MoreWords - it's French, means "a person of low rank; plebeian"

11:09 am

Gillie

11:54 am

MollyL

Around here they are recommending against outdoor exercise

11:55 am

hokie carla

it is slightly cooler here. I think we're just outside the heat wave. My watch said it was 79 but it felt more like 95 in the sun.

11:55 am

hokie carla

currently says 89 feels like 93

11:56 am

bichon

Mr. B left for Germany. The AC is all mine

We planted a red bud tee.

12:08 pm

hokie carla

we lost half of a big redbud tree, now we are going to have to get a big umbrella for our porch

12:09 pm

bichon

That's so sad. A neighbor has one. I admired it so much.

12:11 pm

BzznBea

I love red buds. Great native tree that hosts lots of insects.

12:15 pm

hokie carla

I think the other half will eventually fall too

12:17 pm

SamanthaJoy

Sounds like a perfect opportunity to plant a tree :)

12:18 pm

bichon

We have two tulip trees in our yard

12:18 pm

hokie carla

12:19 pm

hokie carla

I want to get some pawpaw trees

12:20 pm
