hi dan

8:00 am

rururocks

a person I know uses that word all the time Molly.. in ireland and england he says it's very common to use. I don't know if that's true or not.

8:07 am

MollyL

All I know is that some women in the US are offended as hell by it. Why I don't know. They don't seem to react the same way to the p word. It might be because it is the big gun men bring out in a fight.

8:08 am

rururocks

Hilariously he was complaining to me about people using cuss words, (which I do all the time), and I told him he uses that word, which I never do

8:12 am

MollyL

The Irish have an entirely different sense of what's "cuss words"

8:21 am

rururocks

8:48 am

periwinkle

I like a gin and tonic now and then. But would like suggestions for a winter cocktail

8:49 am

penquis

i like French martinis....not sure if it is a "winter"cocktail....uses vodka, raspberry liqueur and pineapple juice, i think....

8:50 am

rururocks

scotch is the best winter cocktail or warm rum

8:50 am

periwinkle

sounds good except for the pineapple juice :)

8:50 am

penquis

you could also just get a good sherry...nice sippable drink....

8:50 am

periwinkle

I like martinis tho

8:50 am

penquis

it doesn't taste like pineapple juice....

8:50 am

periwinkle

rum is a good idea.

8:51 am

periwinkle

my neighbor likes scotch. will have to taste it. I did not like it when I tried it many years ago

8:52 am

penquis

when i get home on a cold winter day, i sometimes have a little sherry to warm up....

8:52 am

penquis

i am not a scotch person....

8:52 am

periwinkle

what is a brand to try pen for the sherry?

8:52 am

rururocks

sherry is a staple here too

8:52 am

rururocks

Lustau is a great brand peri

Dry sac is awful

72 Temple Owl

Just learned an interesting fact about cornucopia in Pompeii.

10:39 am

hurshy

and are you going to share it with us?

10:42 am

72 Temple Owl

If anyone wants to hear it

10:42 am

hurshy

well of course we do

10:42 am

72 Temple Owl

Multitasking

10:42 am

hurshy

i for one always love to learn interesting facts

10:43 am

72 Temple Owl

According to tour guides, a danitization

10:48 am

72 Temple Owl

Of the phallic symbols the ancients were so fond of.
That was sanitation.

10:49 am

72 Temple Owl

Pompeii is full of thing that seem off and funny to us, because they’re vulgar or icky.

10:49 am

hurshy

you say that as if people today aren't still fond of them, but i mean, you did see jeff bezos' rocket, right?

10:50 am

72 Temple Owl

Of course. So you leaned nothing. See?

10:50 am

72 Temple Owl

Time for a break.

10:53 am

hurshy

i have had this theory about dead bodies. the older they are, the less sad they make you. melting snow in the alps reveals a body that's been there for 1000 years, it's more fascinating than sad. whereas if it were from 10 years ago then it's a tragedy. only i discovered one place my theory breaks down when i saw a pic from either pompeii or herculaneum with the preserved shapes of people reacting as the stuff from Vesuvius hit them and that hit me pretty viscerally

10:58 am

72 Temple Owl

Especially the dog.

10:58 am

hurshy

oh dear, i guess i'm lucky i didn't see the dog

10:59 am

hurshy

i don't think my theory applies to dogs in the first place

10:59 am

hurshy

only humans

10:59 am

hurshy

dead dogs are always sad no matter what

1:03 pm

hokie carla

I literally said "first col gray" after saying I just needed that R to gray first col, and that came before the clue. It's all there in black and white.

4:12 pm

MollyL

For those of you who don't know, Trunt is a combination of Trump and a pretty dirty word used for female Trump supporters.

4:19 pm

crosshair

That any woman would vote for Trump is surprising in the extreme.

4:38 pm

ch1212

does anyone else do this? I enter a word, it's not accepted, and I think, "Wait, I know how to spell that word and it is absolutely in the grid!" But then I doubt myself, so I google how to spell the word, only when I google it, I spell it correctly. Case in point: corrode. LOLOLOL!

4:38 pm

crosshair

All the time. :)

4:39 pm

ch1212

Thanks, crossy. I feel better now.

4:40 pm

crosshair

Not to worry.wait till the real fun starts and you find you car keys in the sugar dish, or your hat in the fridge.

4:42 pm

ch1212

LOL! On a more sober note, but in the same vein, I had a talk with my beloved last night and told him I don't trust myself driving anymore. It was a hard decision to make. Getting old... and crossy, I already forget where I put things, or find them in the oddest places! lolol!

4:43 pm

ch1212

lol, okay correction: I meant to write "somber note" and it came out "sober" lol

4:44 pm

crosshair

That is a smart move on your part, ch1212--knowing that your driving days are almost behind you, and not forcing things to the point where it becomes dangerous to you or other.

4:46 pm

ch1212

yeah. The past year I've dinged or scraped my car 4 times, fortunately not against any other cars, just not perceiving depth and distance like I used to.

4:46 pm

crosshair

I am not far behind you.

4:46 pm

4:46 pm

ch1212

I tried that too, annette. :D

4:47 pm

me too!

4:47 pm

I now find driving at night a bit difficult.

4:47 pm

Krys10

torn

4:47 pm

Krys10

whoops sorry

4:49 pm

ch1212

nighttime has been a no-no for me now for a while. It's humbling to accept limitations.

4:53 pm

crosshair

But there are trade offs with a bit of age. We know the simple pleasures that bring us joy, we know what small stuff not to sweat, and we are skilled at offering "old coot" advice to kids that won't listen.

4:54 pm

ch1212

Definitely that last! lol.

4:55 pm

crosshair

It usually takes them thirty years to realize we were right.

4:55 pm

ch1212

My daughter turns 59 today, and I love how wise she now thinks I am.

4:56 pm

ch1212

OOPS - I mean, she turns 49 --- 49! today.

4:56 pm

crosshair

Lol, dazzle her with your archaic knowledge!

4:57 pm

ch1212

Yes, because I certainly can't dazzle her with my memory of how old she is. lolololol. OKay, I am diving back into the grid.

4:58 pm

crosshair

As am I. Nice chatting with you.

5:03 pm
