hey ya beautiful people. * hugs * spritey, * hugs * rebel
1:38 am

*hugs rose* Hello darling
1:38 am
rebelsass
*hugs* grannyrose hello!
1:39 am
grannyrose
how are you two doing? behaving?? lol
1:39 am
rebelsass
Oh yeah, behaving is my middle name! *eyeroll*
1:39 am
rebelsass
*giggles*

1:40 am
sprite
last man standing here. Or woman, rather. Caya is down with a stomach bug. Rob with a gout attack. I am pretending to be well enough to manage it all.
1:40 am
sprite
we know, rebel. It is Miss Behaving Badly, iirc?
1:41 am
grannyrose
oh gee whiz sprite! the Big Guy needs me to give Him a good talking to.
1:42 am
rebelsass
exactly, sprite!
1:42 am
rebelsass
miss behaving badly!
1:42 am
sprite
it is madness. It is freezing and snowing, roads are slippery, and off I went yesterday morning to pick up Lewi. Because Juno cannot manage 3 - 4 walks a day yet.
1:42 am
sprite
only way to go, rebel ;)
1:44 am
sprite
already walked the dogs this morning, now gathering my courage to go get the groceries. But first... babble with my bestie :D
1:44 am
grannyrose
i am such a terrible person, peeps. Don continues to cough...LOUDLY AND LONG. i just feel like it is so dramatic. trying so hard to be understanding, but pleeeeese.... i don't think he has EVER been taught how to be moderate at all. it's like : i can cough louder and longer than you can, therefore i am sicker than you" i feel so terrible that i am so intolerant.
1:45 am
grannyrose
little steps darling girl. take the meds first, let them kick in, and then slowly, slowly while you are out.
1:46 am
sprite
well that is exactly what he is doing and it is childish, so I do not think you are intolerant. He usually ignores your wheezing etc and expects lots of attention for his coughing. I would ignore it, honey.
1:46 am
rebelsass
nah. just a bit fed up. I understand. you've been sick for a while too. he feels somewhat neglected, an dis trying to "one up" ya.
1:46 am
rebelsass
ignore it.
1:46 am
sprite
what she says
1:47 am
grannyrose
* sickly grin * i just feel like whopping him one, you know?
1:47 am
sprite
wellllll that would be taking it one step too far LOL
1:47 am
rebelsass
so whop him one. be done with it. just give him one upside the head. or better yet give him a noogie. and tell him to man up and be done with it.
1:49 am
sprite
or if you really want to go overboard, tell him: "So wonderful to hear your cough is improving, darling."
1:49 am
rebelsass
that's a good one, sprite!
1:50 am
grannyrose
roflol.. rebel.... please don't dare me... now he says that the oral antibiotics have given him the trots, so every visit to the loo is followed by all sorts of mutterings and noise. i'm thinking for heavens sake. it's the squitters, not life threatening, and if it's so bad, why didn't you ask me what to do about it...
1:51 am
sprite
;) I have met Don IRL, so I know a little bit how he is. Very loving person, but a big child in many ways.
1:51 am
grannyrose
yeah, sprite. i am trying to put a positive slant when people call, and ask after his health.
1:51 am
rebelsass
oh boy so a noogie would be out of the question then. dang it.
1:52 am
grannyrose
within his hearing of course.
1:52 am
sprite
honey, ignore it, it is the best you can do. We have all been there. Very unpleasant, and yeah you come from the loo with white lips and the shivers. So what. It passes, and quickly, once you are empty. Definitely not life-threathening and not at all a reason for lots of attention.
1:52 am
rebelsass
what she said
1:55 am
grannyrose
like i said... LOUD AND LONG. i'm talking can't hear the telly which is turned up as his hearing is so poor, and he won't wear his hearing aides. and long, i'm talking about at least 3 minutes of gurgly, bubbly coughing.
1:56 am
sprite
rose, my darling, order a pair of headphones with noise cancelling. I will send you audiobooks. So lovely, you can listen to a good story and you can totally ignore the drama.
1:56 am
grannyrose
this sort of cough back in my training days would have me dry retching, with possible follow through.
1:59 am
grannyrose
okay, rant over. i promise. thanks for letting me vent. and i have detracted from poor sprite and the fix she's in. apologies darling. what you are going through would try the patience of a saint.
2:00 am
grannyrose
and rebel, what news on your new courses?
2:01 am
sprite
no biggie, it is just a bit much. This too shall pass! And when it does, I will be the one demanding being waited on hand and foot ;)
2:01 am
rebelsass
term hasn't started yet. but my daughter is still in the fire warning stage in CA. so it's a wait & see mode here.
2:02 am
sprite
rather scary
2:03 am
grannyrose
rebel has she started to collect together what she deems she must save? i can't comprehend what is happening in Las Angeles. over here it has been small rural communities which can be effected by bush fires. not such a large city/town like LA.
2:04 am
grannyrose
on the news now, apparently looting taking place. that is so inhuman.
2:05 am
rebelsass
she's got everything ready to go if they have to leave, and she's videoed all of the things they can't take, she work at a starbucks and they're already getting in people looking for respite.
2:06 am
sprite
looters to be shot, in such circumstances
2:07 am
grannyrose
oh that's good news rebel. i was so worried. the younger generation seem to think they are immortal.
2:07 am
rebelsass
she's not acting nervous yet, but then again, she tends to let things affect her after they happen, not during.
2:08 am
grannyrose
that's good in a way. cool head when she needs to act fast.
2:08 am
sprite
oh I am like that too. A rock while crises are happening. A shaking puddle of nothing once everything has calmed down and everybody is over it.
2:09 am
grannyrose
adrenaline has a lot to answer for.
2:09 am
sprite
Rob is much more panicky while things are happening, and much more steady afterwards. So we are a good team, lol. He always says: Cass solves the problems, I catch Cass afterwards
2:09 am
rebelsass
exactly. I'm the one losing sleep, and she's like, "it's gonna b ok, mom, just relax, if it happens, it happens."
2:09 am
grannyrose
love Rob's work... lol
2:11 am
sprite
well rebel, we mothers worry. It is part of our job description.
2:11 am
rebelsass
That's what I keep telling my daughter!
2:12 am
sprite
*grins* When my kids complain about my worrying, I always tell them: A. it is my job and B. imagine how it would be if I didn't care. THey always laugh and tell me to just keep on worrying then.
2:13 am
rebelsass
Mine tells me that worrying is bad for my mental health, so I should go journal or something to get out all the worry and relax some.
2:14 am
sprite
just tell her you will keep a journal ready for her once she has kids of the worrisome ages
2:15 am
grannyrose
you haven't got time to keep a journal.. to busy worrying...
2:15 am
sprite
silly kids. We mothers can worry while journaling. Or while performing rocket science. Or anything.
2:15 am
rebelsass
Oh that's a ton of journals! *Giggles at grannyrose*
2:16 am
grannyrose
it's weird right? we well know worrying won't change anything but we still do it.
2:17 am

bbs, nature calls

nps sprite.
2:18 am

exactly, grannyrose.
2:28 am
Kamanjah
Rebel, sorry your daughter is literally in the line of fire. LA is a disaster. So many things went wrong with the water supply during one of the worst wind events in history.
I lived down there for over 45 years and my daughter and her family are in the Inland Empire - east of all of the destruction. I hope the next round of winds ease quickly and no new fires are started.
2:29 am
rebelsass
thank you, kamanjah. so nice of you!
2:30 am
rebelsass
my parents left san diego county in 2018 due to the fire dangers every year. and now I just wish my daughter and her fianceé would do the same.
2:30 am
Kamanjah
My step-grandson called me last night to make sure my daughter was ok.
2:31 am
grannyrose
* hugs * darling Kam. lovely to see you honey.
2:31 am
Kamanjah
I'm still in a high fire area, but out of the traffic congestion of LA and Orange County.
2:31 am
Kamanjah
Hi Rose *hugs*
2:32 am
sprite
back. White lips, shaky... give me LOTS of ATTENTION!
2:32 am
sprite
hiya Kam *hugs*
2:32 am
rebelsass
aw sprite!
2:33 am
Kamanjah
Hiya Sprite!
2:33 am
sprite
*grins* I thought I'd give it a try. Seems to work for Don.
2:34 am
grannyrose
sprite, now is the time to get the loperamide out honey. just while you are having to carry the extra load.
2:34 am
grannyrose
oh dear! did i miss a cue?
2:34 am
sprite
very much so, lolol
2:34 am
Kamanjah
Are you ok? I only read the chat that was on my screen.
2:34 am
grannyrose
sorreeeee.
2:35 am
sprite
oh Kam, yes, I am okay. We were talking about Don doing the drama thing for minor stuff like the trots. I thought I'd see if it would work for me too.
2:36 am
grannyrose
and all she got from me was advice on what to take.. lol.. no tea and sympathy.
2:38 am
sprite
oh, that gives me inspiration for Don. Next time, tell him it is white rice and crackers for him for the next three days.
2:38 am
grannyrose
repenting rapidly... offers sprite a shoulder to lean on...
2:38 am
rebelsass
he he he he he!
2:38 am
sprite
lol. And such a lovely shoulder it is!
2:38 am
grannyrose
oh goodness... i will take pics when i say that.
2:39 am
sprite
how are you doing, Kam?
2:40 am
Kamanjah
I'm to the point where I don't always pick up on "couple things." I've been by myself for too long. I miss the banter and all the other stuff that goes with having my other half here.
2:41 am
sprite
*hugs Kam* Yeah, that is tough. At least you can banter with us for a bit.
2:41 am
Kamanjah
I'm ok. I really miss my dog. At my age, I don't know if I should get another one or not. I still have Michael's cat, and he seems so happy to be the only critter around.
2:41 am
grannyrose
* out of the blue * how's the clock going Kam? does it still bring you some comfort?
2:41 am
Kamanjah
It doesn't tick
2:42 am
grannyrose
???? that's not good.... grrrr
2:42 am
Kamanjah
But it looks great, and gains a few minutes between time changes, so it keeps me on time instead of my usual running a tad late.
2:42 am
Kamanjah
I love it because you gave it to me.
2:43 am
grannyrose
* wonders if one can download a recording of a loud clock tick-tocking *
2:43 am
grannyrose
awww bless you sweet Kam.
2:44 am
sprite
of course one can. Probably even a Youtube vid of a clock ticktocking.
2:44 am
Kamanjah
It has been so long since I broke the tick-tock clock that I don't miss the tick-tock now.
2:45 am
grannyrose
it's just the sound which brings Kam the most comfort Sprite. but she is so sweet about the clock i sent her.
2:45 am
sprite
you are such a sweetheart, rose
2:45 am
Kamanjah
I don't know how Don heard it tick-tock! But, my hearing is going more than a little bit.
2:45 am
grannyrose
awww shucks
2:47 am
Kamanjah
I'm getting a lot of inherited stuff as I get older. The worst thing is hair loss. I'm ready to try topical minoxidil, but I don't know if it will help.
2:48 am
grannyrose
usually a hormonal thing Kam. Can effect us at any age.
2:48 am
Kamanjah
They say it can cause more facial hair. I would rather be bald than have a beard, lol!
2:49 am
sprite
amen to that!
2:49 am
grannyrose
application of tweezers has almost become a daily task here. Don't understand how they grow so fast.
2:50 am
sprite
if I ever start going bald, I will shave my head and go full skinhead. No bald patches for me.
2:50 am
sprite
so true, rose. Same here.
2:50 am
grannyrose
now there's a thought Kam. i reckon you would be the one to carry that off with style..
2:51 am
sprite
Please, may I have a clue? My last word is an S8. I have no idea, and my monkeys are on strike.
2:51 am
Kamanjah
My mom and aunt both had noticeable hair loss. My aunt wore a wig for years. My mom just bleached her hair light blond to match her scalp and used a lot of hairspray to try to cover the bald spots with what hair she had left.
2:52 am
rebelsass
my mom's starting to lose her hair. it's starting to freak her out, and she gets her hair done every six weeks on the dot.
2:53 am
Kamanjah
I have thought about shaving it all off, but my head is not perfectly shaped. I stick the hair I have left in a bun, use a pick to spread it around and then use hairspray.
2:53 am
grannyrose
i have such a thick thatch on top. the despair of my hairdresser. she has resorted to using clippers at the back. and she does thin it out a lot for me.
2:54 am
sprite
no need for a perfectly shaped head to go bald, honey. Every scalp is interesting when bald.
2:54 am
grannyrose
always at least half a small dog on the floor after she has finished. and my nails are so strong my manicurist almost has to use a grinding wheel to cut them. loll
2:55 am
sprite
so... please....? One little clue for little old me?
2:55 am
Kamanjah
What kind of hairdo does an old hippie try? My hair is curly/frizzy, so I can't go short without constant maintenance, which isn't going to happen, lol!
2:55 am
grannyrose
which one sprite?
2:55 am
sprite
I would definitely go skinhead. But that is me.
2:55 am
sprite
you guys totally missed my post for the clue, lol. My last word. S8.
2:57 am
grannyrose
oh that's a doozy. st 8/50. just but an abbreviated newspaper chief in the middle of the ear bones
2:57 am
Kamanjah
Sorry, I just got here a few minutes ago. I haven't really dug into the grid yet.
2:57 am
sprite
lickety's list says it is a ST8/50
2:57 am
grannyrose
* put * not but
2:58 am
grannyrose
or take the m out of the cattle running
2:58 am
sprite
that did it. Weird one. THanks rose. Fireflies.
2:58 am
grannyrose
WTG SPRITE !!
2:59 am
grannyrose
apparently it is the strange plural of the earbones.
3:00 am
Kamanjah
Good hint, Rose.
3:00 am
sprite
might give you another option for Don, rose. You can tell him: Sorry didn't hear you, my ST8 are on strike
3:00 am
grannyrose
roflol... yup....
3:01 am
sprite
*hugs* my darlings. Sleep well, have a blessed day and a peaceful night in any order you like.
3:01 am

night, sprite
3:01 am
Kamanjah
Have a great day, Sprite!
3:01 am

* hugs * darling. remember small and slow steps at this time. no rushing you hear?
3:02 am
sprite
I am off to get the groceries, I guess. I will not rush. I promise, dear friend.
3:03 am
grannyrose
love you honey.
3:05 am
grannyrose
dinner here my friends. have fun with the grid.
3:07 am
Kamanjah
Take care, Rose. Have the bushfires there calmed down? I thought of you when LA basically blew up. I feel so badly for the people there who lost everything.
3:10 am
rebelsass
take care, rose! I've hit a brick wall with the grid. I'm gonna go grab a 3AM snack and then come back later on in the morning! Take care, all! thank you, Kamanjah for your well wishes!

10:27 am
hokie carla
we did do a little sledding last night but no snow angels
10:28 am
hokie carla
winston did a lot of rolling around today on the hike but I doubt any of them looked like an angel
10:28 am
BzznBea
HOw much snow did you get?
10:28 am
BzznBea
We had about two inches late last night.
10:29 am
hokie carla
we got about 2" before it turned to sleet. when we were out sledding it was snow and sleet mixed. could see the snow in our light on the walk home.
10:30 am
hurshy
i have gently falling flakes as we type
10:30 am
hokie carla
bea, did I tell you I got a little learn to crochet kit for a yeti?
10:30 am
hurshy
do yetis want to learn crochet?
10:30 am
hokie carla
of course
10:31 am
hokie carla
I guess that is a bit of a misplaced modifier
10:31 am
hokie carla
but it's funny
10:31 am
hurshy
well there's my new fact of the day
10:31 am
BzznBea
No. I've been thinking about getting out my hooks and some thread.
10:33 am
hurshy
2-3-12-4-2 *groan* this is the third day in a row with massive volume of 6s
10:33 am
hokie carla
I found these woobles kits at xmas time. there are step by step videos. my neighborhood has a stitchers clubs but I can't really take any of my projects since I use machines for everything, so I thought I'd take this, but then when I looked at the tutorials I realized I'll have to watch those while being social.
10:34 am
hokie carla
hurshy, I didn't even bother getting past 43 left yesterday and hate today's already, so that must be why. 6's not my strong suit.
10:34 am
hurshy
well i'm down to 22
10:34 am
hurshy
but i do wish phae had mentioned the bi/bL breakdown
10:34 am
hokie carla
64 left here.
10:35 am
marksdolly
what do you need in the bi/bl?
10:35 am
hokie carla
I still need 9 b's so no help
10:35 am
hokie carla
but I only have 3 bi
10:35 am
marksdolly
there are 10 Bi words
10:35 am
hurshy
i need 4 B words and i am just wondering how many are bi and how many are bL
10:35 am
marksdolly
and 14 Bl words
10:35 am
hurshy
ok then all my missing b are bi ! for i have only 6
10:35 am
hokie carla
wow, that will make quite a dent in my B
10:36 am
rururocks
nowadays there's a lot of Bi's
10:36 am
hokie carla
I'm not sure knowing is half the battle in this case
10:36 am
hurshy
that's assuming we can find them hokie
10:36 am
hurshy
got one...
10:36 am
hokie carla
ha, great minds think alike
10:37 am
hokie carla
found a set
10:37 am
hurshy
phantom: bistro
10:38 am
marksdolly
the only bi that I didn't know was a bi 7/40
10:38 am
hokie carla
not sure how I missed the giant animal
10:38 am
hokie carla
I def. don't have that 7
10:38 am
hurshy
may i have a clue for that 7 then?
10:38 am
marksdolly
all I know it's a type of tree
10:41 am
hokie carla
well, I still have 4 bi and 1 bl left. moving on.
10:41 am
marksdolly
mr Clinton minus the dbl letter, and add and the plural letter then add Mr Roosevelt
10:42 am
hokie carla
sassist - a teenage girl
10:42 am
hurshy
i thought of that one too hokie!
10:42 am
hokie carla
thanks
10:43 am
hurshy
aaack what else can there b
10:44 am
hokie carla
I have monkeyed all kinds of bi words, so they must be 6 or more letters
10:44 am
marksdolly
only 2 bi 6 words
10:45 am
marksdolly
and they are together with a different last letter
10:45 am
hokie carla
well I don't have either, so my instincts were right!
10:45 am
hurshy
oh ok that will help
10:45 am
hurshy
i only had one of them
10:45 am
hurshy
and then un-plural it
10:45 am
marksdolly
after that 7, there is a a bi 4,5,and the 2 6's
10:46 am
hokie carla
got a pt one
10:47 am
hokie carla
and the other, thx
10:47 am
hurshy
what do we have from the left O? i have: or4 and 5, another or5, and os4
10:48 am
hokie carla
I still need 2 there but have or6 so guess I will try to figure out hurshy's
10:49 am
hokie carla
ok, os7 is one
10:49 am
hurshy
ok got or6
10:49 am
hokie carla
so many ways to go for that, not going to be able to monkey os7
10:50 am
hurshy
i used MW
10:50 am
hurshy
it appears to be a disease
10:50 am
hokie carla
I'm assuming it's bone related
10:50 am
hurshy
but i guess it's just bone formation
10:51 am
hurshy
not necessarily bad
10:51 am
hokie carla
and I guess I'm missing an or5 based on your post
10:51 am
hurshy
just take out the -eopor- from the common bone disease
10:52 am
hokie carla
thanks, definitely never seen that before
10:52 am
hurshy
or5/12 is apparently the lowest deck on a ship

hurshy

10:57 am
hokie carla
et5 is the only single
10:57 am
hurshy
o i found it it was the pt of es5
10:58 am
hokie carla
was just guessing that
10:58 am
hurshy
so rare for us to get pt of that sort with the double cons that i didn't even think about it
10:58 am
hokie carla
I think I only got it because I had found all the others
10:59 am
hokie carla
right col gray!
10:59 am
hurshy
i think i hadn't gotten it bc i am a doof
11:01 am

11:02 am
hokie carla
found my missing O
11:02 am
hurshy
he wouldn't normally object to that one
11:02 am
hurshy
it's when all the letters are not present in the grid that he complains
11:03 am
hokie carla
where'd he go? I'm still waiting for him to declare this easy.
11:03 am
BzznBea
I'm finding this grid difficult.
11:03 am
hokie carla

11:04 am
hokie carla

11:08 am
hurshy
hokie did you see where i said my last lower i was just a normal easy plural that i missed because i wasn't going UP first
11:08 am
hokie carla
yes, I saw that but couldn't make anything of it
11:08 am
hurshy
well there are two plurals

11:55 am
ChampFit
I monkeyed the TS6. Thx carla!
11:56 am
hokie carla
is there a lot of vowels? I feel like I know a TS6 but can't get it.
11:56 am
hokie carla
got it finally
11:57 am
hokie carla
not a lot of vowels for anyone taking notes
11:57 am
ChampFit
No, just two. It looks like a plural, but there isn't a singular
11:57 am
ChampFit
I till need 1 there, but I have a ta6. Are there 2?
11:57 am
cybernan
no idea on any of those t
11:58 am
hokie carla
oh, the ta6 is a snake I think
11:58 am
hokie carla
nan, we have had them all before, just not regular words anyone would know
11:58 am
BzznBea
I always think of that ts as a nick name for a dinosaur.
11:58 am
ChampFit
The one I have looks japanese. Shogun
11:58 am
cybernan
got the ts - memory jarred by your vowels comment
11:59 am

11:59 am
hokie carla
good one, bea
11:59 am
hokie carla

12:00 pm
penquis

12:00 pm
ChampFit
No, but I'm missing 4 S words
12:02 pm
hokie carla
list isn't helping with my 2 upper S's
12:02 pm
cybernan
got them all - ty
12:03 pm
hokie carla
ok, one of the upper ones, change the vowel on the set hurshy gave us rhyming with author truman
12:04 pm
BzznBea
st8 is like runaway horse
12:04 pm
hokie carla
lol, the other top S was a regular word
12:04 pm
BzznBea
plural as I can not type
12:05 pm
hokie carla

12:07 pm
BzznBea

ChampFit
Get 'er done, bea!
12:07 pm
welki
hi/bye, bea - hi, everyone else :)
12:07 pm
ChampFit
Yeah, not seeing that one..
12:08 pm
penquis
hi welki...
12:08 pm
hokie carla
it's just reminiscent of an st word that has an M in it. any herd of animal can do it.
12:08 pm
hokie carla
welki!
12:08 pm
hokie carla
it looks like a plural without a singular and there's no definition.
12:09 pm
hokie carla
ends in a p5 that looks like a plural without a sing
12:09 pm
hokie carla
always makes me think scrabbler went into p5 even though I'm not sure what it means.
12:10 pm
cybernan
even knowing it looks like the Calgary event doesn't help
12:11 pm
penquis
take out that M...
12:11 pm
hokie carla
oh, is there one in calgary?
12:11 pm
penquis
and make it pl...
12:11 pm
hokie carla
was thinking of the b5 one in custer state park in south dakota
12:12 pm
welki
nan, it's like the calgary thing, but missing a consonant that's not in the grid
12:12 pm

one of the biggest rodeo's on the NA circuit, carla
12:12 pm
hokie carla
also the dixie one that's actually a restaurant in pigeon forge. may be owned by dolly
12:12 pm
cybernan
this is the st 8 right?
12:13 pm
hokie carla
we stumbled onto a big rodeo in cheyenne on our cross country trip
12:13 pm
ChampFit
Yes. Looks like a plural but there's no singular.
12:13 pm
cybernan
oh got it - it does look like a plural
12:13 pm
ChampFit
That annoys me, btw
12:14 pm
cybernan
thanks for the help everyone -- a little slow this am :)
12:14 pm
penquis
the 10 is dumb...
12:14 pm
hokie carla
I did see phantom stapes earlier, another pl without sing. I wonder if it is related.
12:14 pm
cybernan
does it build from an 8?
12:15 pm
hokie carla
so dumb
12:15 pm
hokie carla
yes, nan. you probably shouldn't find it as it'll just annoy you too
12:15 pm
cybernan
and it is a po?
12:16 pm
ChampFit
Go left! *says the person who has issues going left
12:16 pm
hokie carla
yes, a superlative
12:16 pm
penquis
yes... comparative ending...
12:16 pm
cybernan
oh lord!
12:16 pm

12:21 pm
ChampFit
That's a big deal with this grid nan.
12:24 pm
hokie carla
yeah, HOET was a struggle for me, took some help
12:25 pm
hokie carla
well, just got wordle in 3 with a very lucky guess. the bot said I had 54 choices left.
12:26 pm
ChampFit
I got it in 3 today too. Same thing...had 2 letters and made a good guess.
12:26 pm
hokie carla
I only had one yellow

ChampFit
Lucky....genius...it's a fine line. :)
