how are you and the lovely Elegant doing?
5:35 am

We are both fine. My da always said that every day on this side of the dirt is a good day. :)
5:36 am

he is right about that :) Things are challenging here too but as long as we focus on the gratitude, the rest is doable.

One of our pups is having a pre-op appointment today. In two weeks he gets operated on both back legs. He is having tendon issues. :(
5:38 am
sprite
aw poor pup. But how wonderful to be with people who value his wellbeing enough to get him help.
5:38 am
crosshair
It will not be cheap, but we made a commitment, to love and care for him.
5:39 am
sprite
((((crossy)))) Exactly. We did the same for Terra at the end of his life. And will do the same for Nero if he ever needs it.
5:39 am

It will cost $5,000.00 per leg. :(

In fairness - it was more of an excuse for a hooley than any religeous business. I am very wary of men in dresses standin on altars.
5:51 am

as long as they stand on altars and are visible, I am okay with them. Once they start moving hidden from view... nah. Better not.

Hi Owl. How is your summer going?
7:45 am
72 Temple Owl
too fast! this week is the music festival. i will be working today...air is filled with wildfire smoke.
7:46 am

Yes, the skies are hazy here too.

tupper lake
7:47 am
Scrabbler
That was our first stay in Tupper Lake so it was fun to explore the area. We will return.
7:48 am
72 Temple Owl
we vacationed around lake george for years and my dad hunted and camped with the guys and boys/ our neightbor was with the park serice and he was their guide.
7:49 am
Scrabbler
We have never stayed in LG. It is too busy and commercial for us.
7:49 am
72 Temple Owl
can only imagine now it's worse, but that was when my mother was with us. no woods for her
7:50 am
72 Temple Owl
i did like lake champlain area
7:50 am
72 Temple Owl
my friend goes to u syracuse conference area eery fall which may be on tupper lake. very remote
7:50 am
Scrabbler
We took a ferry from Port Kent across Lake Champlain to Burlington once, Fun day.
7:51 am
Scrabbler
Maybe in Newcomb where SUNY ESF has a campus.
7:51 am
72 Temple Owl
let's see if i remember... fort ticonderoga is in lg but there is one in champlain?
7:53 am
72 Temple Owl
of sorry re conference center, that's on bue mountain lake. very remote
7:53 am
Scrabbler
Minnowbrook Conference Center is in LG.
7:55 am
72 Temple Owl
lots of wilderness around there once you get out of lg
7:56 am
72 Temple Owl
you are brave- how to you stay bear safe?
7:58 am
Scrabbler
We use bear canisters, which we store away from where we sleep. And we are always vigilant. The most dangerous situation would be encountering cubs. Mamas are protective.
7:59 am
72 Temple Owl
oh yes. ny borhters in laws livei near the foothills- ramapo. a student was kiled there seeral years ago. apshawa preserver. my mother would freak out when we tokk a stroll aounrd the lake after thanksgiing dinner
8:00 am
72 Temple Owl
if it's still warm the bears are not yet in den.
8:00 am
Scrabbler
We carry bear spray. Black bears are generally afraid of humans, except mama bears.
8:00 am
72 Temple Owl
do you wear bells?
8:01 am
Scrabbler
No. That disrupts the peace of the forest.
8:01 am
Scrabbler
We have bear spray and knives.
8:02 am
72 Temple Owl
yes, i agree. i guess if all you want to do is hike. i want to be quiet and observe.
8:05 am
72 Temple Owl
i joined a local hiking group and they just hiked and hiked and i wanted to see things.
8:05 am
Scrabbler
I don't like to be with fast hikers. I want to observe nature, spot trees and flowers, and enjoy the trek.
8:06 am
72 Temple Owl
exactly.
8:06 am
Scrabbler
We did a guided trip to Acadia in June. I was in the far back of the 10 of us. There were 2 chatterboxes that I needed to avoid.
8:07 am
72 Temple Owl
i get that. like even exercise walks, either a pair of moms or someone with a phone to her ear. hate that
8:08 am
Scrabbler
Yes, people engaged in phone conversations in the woods annoy me. Or blaring music on a Bluetooth speaker.
8:08 am
72 Temple Owl
people cannot seem to be quiet. and i am quiet by nature. most times
8:08 am
72 Temple Owl
oops sorry,

US and Canadian wildfires are so severe
8:12 am
72 Temple Owl
it was in the 50s towards the poconos this past week
8:12 am
72 Temple Owl
something you do not hear bout the fires is the huge number of people in canada affected/displaced from their homes.
8:14 am
rururocks
that's true
8:14 am

We do not seem to be as interested in Canadian news as they are in ours

phantom moisture. but we've had a lot of rain.
8:25 am

phantom: century
8:25 am
hokie carla
just what I like to see - 38 Cs. NOT
8:26 am
hurshy
but at least 3 of the 4 are easy
8:27 am
hokie carla
yeah, I got those bottom 3 last night. only played the small tiles since I was on my ipad.
8:27 am
hokie carla
did you get the 4th on the bottom? I think it was ca8 but I couldn't find it.
8:27 am
hurshy
well i just started and didn't play at flip but will look
8:28 am
hokie carla
well, you just said 3 of them were easy like you did play the bottom c
8:28 am
hurshy
oh then i will not look for one lol
8:28 am
LuvWordGames
cy 8/60 is the last one on the bottom, haven't found it yet
8:28 am
hokie carla
oh, interesting. I was definitely half asleep.
8:28 am
hokie carla
oh, cy8. thanks, luv.
8:28 am
hurshy
ah thanks love
8:29 am
LuvWordGames
would love a clue if anyone gets it
8:29 am
hokie carla
going back to the top c

thanks hursh
8:30 am
hokie carla
never seen that one before, thanks
8:30 am
hokie carla
bottom row gray!
8:30 am
hurshy
it means a person who is the ce6 of attention
8:31 am
hokie carla
interesting.
8:31 am
hurshy
so i guess we can start using it by saying trump always wants to be a cy8
8:31 am
hokie carla
I was thinking we probably just use narcissist these days
8:32 am
hokie carla
but that could be slightly different. a narcissist wants to be the ce6 of attn, but maybe someone just "lights up a room" is and is not narcissistic.
8:32 am
hurshy
well, that's a little bit different. you don't have to be enjoying it i gather, to be a cy8. so a narcissist wants to be one
8:32 am
hurshy
yeah or like if someone has 15 mins of fame for something random, they might hate it but still be a cy8
8:34 am
hokie carla
well, somehow there's still 17 more c's on the top. think I will move one.
8:34 am
hurshy
i keep wanting couture and contour
8:35 am
hokie carla
yeah, I saw couture
8:36 am

Given the considerable global stakeholder and public interest in DSM impacts as well as legal obligations under national legislation and UNCLOS (e.g., Boschen et al. 2013, Levin et al. 2016, Miller et al. 2018, Lodge & Verlaan 2018), it is vital that impacts can be measured and targets are in place to minimise environmental harm assessed against baseline conditions.

12:50 pm
hokie carla
I think I def made up some, hold on and I'll look
12:52 pm
hokie carla
ok, on the M, I don't have any really weird ones. there's a 5 IDK what it means, but we've had before. also a PT of the 5 that looks like a sing version of girl troubles but means to do honor to
12:52 pm
hokie carla
there are 2 st6 IDK the meaning of and one of them has a pt
12:53 pm
hurshy
ok wait so are you talking about two different M5s there or the same one
12:54 pm

1:22 pm
Gillie
Have a good one
1:28 pm
Gillie
well, all my 4s were obvious ones, of course (including a singular where I had the plural). This game has messed with my head so that I commonly see really weird words while being totally blind to the normal ones.

Latest profile pic is me, about 20 years ago, doing a Jackie or Ozzy photo. I resurrected it on the day that Ozzy, a fellow Brummie (person born in Birmingham UK) died. He once leapt off the side of a stage at a local venue, late 60s/early 70s and collided with me. We both put out our arms to steady each other and then laughed, flicking our hair, at our almost indentical hairstyles and colouring.

MY OH hates this pic of me, but it was a spur of the moment thing I went into a Woolworth's photo booth to do whilst out shopping with my parents and my kids after a couple of people told me, 'You like just like Ozzy, apart from being female!' LOL

Rest in Peace, Oz, and don't keep yelling for Sharon now you've got through the pearly gates. She doesn't need to join you yet.xx
