what a waste of a perfectly good Q

1:21 am

dcseain

agreed re the wasted Q, but in many a grid, some letter(s) are unavailable.

1:21 am

dcseain

and hello.

1:21 am

sprite

true. But some are more frustrating than others, lol

1:21 am

sprite

hi seain :)

1:21 am

dcseain

absolutely!

1:22 am

Kamanjah

Hi all!

1:22 am

sprite

hiya Kam :)

1:33 am

rururocks

Kamanjah. You could call a mobile dog groomer in your area

1:33 am

sprite

hiya ru :)

1:33 am

rururocks

I read the chat last night

1:33 am

rururocks

Hi sprite

1:36 am

Kamanjah

Hi Ru! I do have a mobile groomer. I have to talk to her to see if she can squeeze Blaze in for some wet baths. She lives nearby, so I'm hoping I can just take him over when she get home and she can spend 10 or so minutes with him and I'll take him home and dry him.

1:36 am

sprite

sounds good

1:36 am

Kamanjah

gets home, that is.

1:37 am

rururocks

That might be your answer

1:38 am

Kamanjah

My only option, lol! I can't pick up an 80# dog!
Her setup has a table that he can get on, then she raises it up and he walks across a ramp to the tub.

1:40 am

rururocks

I have a hot water outlet in the garage so on a sunny day I can bathe them in the driveway

1:40 am

sprite

or you could make a ramp to your bath.

1:40 am

Kamanjah

I don't have that. I have no way to get hot water to a hose.

1:41 am

Kamanjah

I bought a ramp, Sprite. He won't walk on it.

1:41 am

sprite

you can train him to do so, step by step

1:41 am

Kamanjah

You don't think I have been trying?!!

1:42 am

Kamanjah

He refuses. He will not even set a foot on it now. I used treats to lure him up the ramp, but he just hates it.

1:43 am

rururocks

Is he older?

1:43 am

dizgrannie

finally got my last 8, te 8

1:43 am

Kamanjah

Ya know that old saying - "you can't teach an old dog new tricks"? He's over 11 years old and doesn't feel well.

1:44 am

Kamanjah

Yay Diz! I haven't even found an 8 or 9. I did get the 10 from Rain's hint.

1:44 am

rururocks

Yes. Pointless to try. Do the mobile

1:59 am

aslindy

hello all

7:32 am

MollyL

So Lindy, have you moved?

7:33 am

aslindy

we took one load of stuff to the new house and were there for a week, we're back at the michigan house and will take another load of stuff next weekend. so, partially moved.

7:34 am

MollyL

Okay, that explains it. I thought you said you were in the new house and then yesterday you were packing again

7:35 am

aslindy

yes. it's confusing. I just want to be done packing and get there already.

7:41 am

MollyL

So you are moving yourselves? That is ambitious

7:52 am

aslindy

yes, we are renting Budget trucks to move our stuff

8:14 am

aslindy

any clue for the te7 and te8?

8:17 am

BzznBea

The te7 ends with the rectum

8:18 am

BzznBea

9:04 am

hokie carla

hmm, all I can think is if ya ain't first you're last

9:05 am

welki

it's not a grid word

9:05 am

hokie carla

not daytona

9:06 am

welki

nope, not shake and bake, either - just one word

9:07 am

hokie carla

I just watched that not long ago. Showed the youngest this summer. He liked it, so it must hold up.

9:07 am

hokie carla

well, king richard is in the grid but is a word

9:08 am

9:39 am

hurshy

wow, i had no idea how evil subway is

9:40 am

BzznBea

The sandwich subway?

9:41 am

hurshy

yeah - the corporation is awful - john oliver did an exposé on how they behave toward franchisees

9:46 am

rururocks

i don't eat fast food so it's not a problem for me. I just drive right by them

9:46 am

hurshy

yeah i mean i don't generally either

9:46 am

rururocks

and I don't doubt the corporation is Awful

9:47 am

hurshy

now i'm listening to his episode about timeshares and remembering my amusing experience with one

9:48 am

rururocks

I don't shop at Home Depot, I don't eat chikafila, I avoid buying brawny and other Koch paper products.

9:48 am

hurshy

^5

9:48 am

rururocks

I don't help or support wineries that donate to Trump and Ted Cruz. I don't support my local baseball team for the same reason, the owner is a big donor to all the right wingnuts

9:49 am

hurshy

ah see i just find baseball dead boring

9:50 am

rururocks

it mostly is, but gets exciting in the play-offs the quality of the games goes way up

9:51 am

hurshy

it's funny, i remember knowing in my early 20s that it was a bad idea to buy timeshares but i don't remember how i knew that

9:52 am

rururocks

my brother got stuck in one.. he regretted it for sure

9:52 am

rururocks

Why would you do a time share when you can do VRBO's

9:52 am

hurshy

well my former brother in law and his wife had one

9:53 am

hurshy

and they had us accompany them on vaca a couple of times

9:53 am

rururocks

i guess timeshares predate VRBO's though

9:53 am

hurshy

and you know they do the thing where us, as non-owners, they would give us a free dinner if we listened to a pitch for it

9:53 am

hurshy

so we're like, hell yeah, free dinner

9:54 am

rururocks

that's high pressure sales though

9:54 am

hurshy

cause we know they CANNOT talk us into anything

9:54 am

hurshy

so early in the presentation, they say, "so, you guys make at least $40,000 a year, right?"

9:54 am

hurshy

we start laughing and say "no"

9:54 am

hurshy

so then their pitch pretty much fell flat after that

9:55 am

hurshy

so that's the trick to not getting pulled in - just be poor as f***

9:56 am

hurshy

of course, we wouldn't have gotten pulled in anyway because both my ex and i are WAY too stubborn for that.

9:57 am

rururocks

well that's a good level of protectoin

9:57 am

rururocks

protection that is

9:58 am

hurshy

yes, stubborn resistance has always served me well

9:58 am

rururocks

I'm less stubborn than I used to be.. must be an age thing

9:59 am

hurshy

i don't think i've changed yet - how old are oyu?

10:00 am

rururocks

that's a little personal.. but old enough to know better :D

10:01 am

rururocks

older than you for sure :D

10:03 am

hurshy

i think the best part is watching other people react to one's stubbornness

10:08 am

hurshy

one of my favorite memories is when i was graduating HS and everyone who was in the honor society was supposed to get this gold sash to wear over our graduation gowns. but they wanted us to pay $10 for this. for some reason, other students just paid it. but me, i said, what, if i went to the olympics and won a medal, would they make me pay for it?? and refused. well at first, the adviser i think thought i would change my mind (she didn't know me). but as graduation approached she started to panic about the valedictorian not wearing the honor society sash. she actually went to my mom and asked her to get me to wear it (i would get it free). but by THEN i was like, lady, you care way too much about stupid things. this is not anywhere on the scale of problems a person should care about. so then i still wouldn't wear it just to reprove her for her wacky priorities.

10:19 am

hurshy

John Oliver is so great

10:21 am

origami

I agree, hurshy

11:12 am

John O rocks. we saw him live, and he was amazing

11:27 am

ch1212

hurshy, we would have been besties in high school! You did exactly what I would have done! (And did, in other ways.)

11:32 am

ch1212

As a Sophomore in Biology class at a tiny rural school, I was told I was REQUIRED to participate in the extracurricular science fair, even though it had nothing to do with my grade. I decided to do my project on venereal disease just on principle. My teacher sent me to the Principal, who sent me to the school board, who reluctantly gave permission. (Of course, by the time the science fair came, I had learned so much I was on a mission to educate my peers.) Another time I went back to the school board to get the dress code changed so girls could wear pants. lolol!

Thought of something. I went to college from 64 -68. Women couldn't wear pants until this giant snowstorm. Finally we were free!

11:39 am

And the women [not me] wore girdles

11:40 am

11:42 am

ch1212

bichon, yes! Girls were required to wear heels and a dress/skirt even in snowy winters. I wanted to be an astronaut but women were not allowed then, like many other professions. There were clubs and colleges I was not allowed in. It made no sense to me.

11:42 am

nrkii

got the pe10... I had been 1 letter away from that before

11:42 am

nrkii

11:53 am

hokie carla

does the pe10 start with the flower part?

11:55 am

Gillie

if you mean the stalk (either spelling), almost, but changes after third-last letter

11:56 am

hokie carla

I meant the he loves me, he loves me not part

11:56 am

hokie carla

not sure what the stalk is

11:57 am

Gillie

there are two pe7 that refer to stalks or stalk-like appendages in botany or zoology

11:58 am

Gillie

neither of them common words

11:59 am

hokie carla

hmm, gonna have to look those up

11:59 am
