8:18 am

How is Hokie this fine morning?

8:30 am

hokie carla

still waking up, feels like fall outside - it's glorious.

8:30 am

hokie carla

how is crossy?

8:30 am

aslindy

hello all

8:31 am

hokie carla

hey lindy, how goes it there?

8:31 am

crosshair

Not too bad. Our dog is recovering nicely, the heat wave has broken and it is glorius outside, and I am on this side of the dirt for another day. :)

8:31 am

crosshair

Howdy, Lindy. :)

8:31 am

hokie carla

:D

8:32 am

aslindy

things going ok. one of my dogs has had surgery twice this summer (each knee), and we are 8 - 12 weeks from full recovery. enjoying the cool mornings lately.

8:33 am

hokie carla

in local wildlife news, haven't seen our bear in over a week. have seen 2 dead armadillos on the road to town. I thought they were in FL and GA, but I guess they've moved up. a state forest north of us keeps getting them on trail cams too.

8:33 am

crosshair

Knees for our pup as well, Lindy. Though he will need the other done as well soon. :(

8:33 am

hokie carla

I forgot where you are now, lindy

8:33 am

aslindy

south wisconsin

8:34 am

hokie carla

was thinking somewhere in the middle

8:34 am

aslindy

south and a little west of madison

8:34 am

hokie carla

did you see I did a big trip up through MI and across to Glacier this summer?

8:35 am

aslindy

oh, nice, I didn't see that

8:35 am

hokie carla

definitely saw some remote places!

8:36 am

aslindy

remote for sure, and beautiful

8:36 am

hokie carla

yep

8:38 am

rururocks

the 2025 Hokie world tour?

8:38 am

hokie carla

well, US tour

8:39 am

aslindy

my poor pup injured his right knee, had surgery, got the "all is well, gradually increase activity" at 8 week check, then on the way home we had a sudden slow-down to avoid hitting a truck and he slipped forward off the seat, injuring the other knee. :(

8:39 am

hokie carla

ugh, sorry

8:40 am

hokie carla

ok, changed my profile pic finally

8:41 am

aslindy

lovely!

8:41 am

hokie carla

that was after a storm in Ft. Peck, MT

8:47 am

crosshair

Sorry about you poor pup, Lindy. :(

8:48 am

bichon

Sorry to hear about your precious dog Lindy

8:48 am

crosshair

Here, each operation for our pup will cost $4600.00, including $300 of meds.

8:48 am

aslindy

thank you. the good news is that he should regain full use of his legs. it's so much better than before the surgery, the biggest challenge is not letting him do too much, so the bone has time to heal.

8:48 am

Book Doctor Gwen

greetings my puzzlebuddies

8:48 am

crosshair

Morning, Gwen. :)

8:49 am

hokie carla

yeah, we had a chocolate lab in the 90s that had 3 surgeries for removing foreign objects, and those were like $3000 each. can't imagine what they are now.

8:49 am

hokie carla

hey gwen

8:49 am

aslindy

it was a bit more than that for ours, but it also included a few days at the "Recovery Stay" where he got some physical therapy, massage, etc after the surgery.

8:50 am

bichon

My Bichon will be 18 y.o. in October. We will be lost when he passes.

8:51 am

crosshair

We opeted for laser treatmets to speed incision site healing, and something where they take the blood, spin it down seperste it and inject it back into the operation area.

8:51 am

hokie carla

it's so hard

8:51 am

crosshair

Darn typos. :/

8:53 am

aslindy

it's always too soon

8:53 am

crosshair

It is hard, Hokie. You get a pet knowing that you will love it, but also knowing that one day it will break your heart.

8:53 am

hokie carla

yep

8:54 am

Book Doctor Gwen

nbt woot

8:54 am

wahhh, I thought the top E said there were 2 and I found 2 and then realized there are 12.

8:54 am

crosshair

Bit of good news: our town now has an emergency after-hour vet. :)

8:56 am

hokie carla

rainqui

9:38 am

rururocks

who is a genius at this game..

9:39 am

rururocks

I looked and looked and looked for it.. gave up and looked it up

9:39 am

hokie carla

would you care to hint it for the rest of us?

9:40 am

rururocks

I remember before you got married eva.. lots of discussions with Haz and the brits

9:40 am

rururocks

na9 like the planet but with a N + former spouses

9:41 am

hokie carla

I do not, but I was gone for a big chunk of time when my kids were around middle school age.

9:41 am

rururocks

well you're making up for lost time now hokie :D

9:41 am

EvaNadine

youre right ruru -- my parents were english, so the brits are kindred spirits for me.

9:43 am

Book Doctor Gwen

HOET at last, and 88 to go. time for lunch/breakfast

9:43 am

hokie carla

well, I did not understand that clue except for the end, but then I saw a word from my church upbringing and that was it.

9:44 am

rururocks

you don't understand EARTH?

9:46 am

hokie carla

well, I did after I saw the word. but N and planet made me think neptune.

9:47 am

hokie carla

for anyone wanting a definition hint, it's the part of a church outside the sanctuary

9:47 am

EvaNadine

to be fair, i mentally went through all of the other plants before our own. lol

9:48 am

EvaNadine

planets*

9:50 am

rururocks

I'm going to quit cluing in this game

9:51 am

hokie carla

LOL, I think we just have different minds

9:51 am

welki

'morning, babblers

9:51 am

rururocks

I give a good clue and then everyone criticizes it. :D

9:51 am

hokie carla

you're too smart for us

9:51 am

swmbo

it was an excellent clue Ruru

9:51 am

hokie carla

welki!

9:51 am

rururocks

hi welks how is your aunt's house?

9:52 am

welki

safe, ru. thanks for asking - she said the fire's no where near them

9:53 am

rururocks

that's good news.. it was looking really bad for a bit there for her area

9:53 am

rururocks

thank you swmbo at least someone appreciates it

9:54 am

welki

clearlake is just over half an hour from lakeport, in the right direction, i guess

9:55 am

swmbo

9:55 am

swmbo

:)

9:55 am

rururocks

yeah.. but if the winds had picked up.. your aunt would be in a hotel

9:57 am

welki

she's pretty philosophical about earthquakes and fires - at 87, she's pretty 'que sera, sera' about things

9:58 am

rururocks

yeah.. i hear that.. i'm the same way

9:58 am

welki

i bet i could find two more places to put 'pretty' in that post

9:58 am

rururocks

I try to make a martini once an earthquake starts, makes it easier to do

9:59 am

welki

i am so grateful that, in all the times i've been to your neck of the woods, i haven't felt the earth shake (except for, well, you know)

9:59 am

rururocks

11:26 am

periwinkle

1:19 pm

hurshy

1:19 pm

hokie carla

1:21 pm

hurshy

1:22 pm

hurshy

1:22 pm

hurshy

deli meat, oh not A KIND of deli meat

1:23 pm

hokie carla

no

1:23 pm

hurshy

cool that just leaves me one more

1:23 pm

hokie carla

my church uses the na word on the regular but the def I read online made it sound obscure

1:24 pm

ChampFit

Ours does too.

1:24 pm

hurshy

they used the word at one church i attended, but i think only one out of the many i've attended in my life

1:25 pm

hokie carla

at Christmas they would put a Chrismon tree in there. the greeters would stand in there and hand out bulletins. the preacher would stand there and shake hands as people left.

1:26 pm

ChampFit

We have the nativity in ours during Christmas. And one of our new priests stands there and greets people before every mass. That's also where we sign in if we're volunteering. Lot's going on in that space.

1:26 pm

hokie carla

darnit, I do have the th5/14, so I need a different one

1:27 pm

hokie carla

yep, ours had a stand with a guest book too

1:27 pm

hokie carla

and the acolytes would wait in there to go light the candles. i did a lot of acolyting in my teens.

1:28 pm

ChampFit

I must be a bit older than you. Girls weren't allowed when I was in my teens.

1:28 pm

hokie carla

well, you sound catholic. I was methodist, so girls were allowed.

1:29 pm

ChampFit

Ahhhhh...yes. I'm Catholic.

1:29 pm

EvaNadine

i havent been to church in ages, much less the one i grew up in, but i recall that term as well.
i grew up Moravian (which most people havent heard of)

1:30 pm

hokie carla

I've been to Old Salem, NC, a Moravian village, Eva.

1:32 pm

hokie carla

okay, still 30 here. 1-6-13-8-2

1:32 pm

EvaNadine

a far cry from both of my parents growing up Roman Catholic!
basically the opposite end of the spectrum!

1:33 pm

hokie carla

D3 L3 C R A2 S6 E5 T E G P3 R3

1:34 pm

hokie carla

all I remember is the Moravian cookies. :D

1:34 pm

EvaNadine

i got less of the cookies + more of the candles.

1:35 pm

hokie carla

well, time to get ready for golf. not so hot today, thank goodness.

1:35 pm

ChampFit

Hit 'em long and straight!

1:36 pm

dcseain

it’s been cool enough up here that i’ve had the AC off and windows open for 10 days already.

1:36 pm

dcseain

and the cats starting shedding two weeks ago. It’s gonna be a winter here.

1:36 pm

dcseain

normally, the shed in Sep or Oct, not. Aug.

1:36 pm

ChampFit

I'm so far away from that! Although to me it's been a mild summer. Much more bearable that 2024.

1:36 pm

dcseain

it’s been an oddly cool Summer here.

1:37 pm

dcseain

agreed, much more bearable than 2024

1:38 pm

EvaNadine

im actually wearing sweats + socks -- which is typically unheard of until about october!

1:38 pm

dcseain

yeah, i sported shorts and a sweater the other day. In August!

1:57 pm

cybernan

good morning/afternoon everyone :) Another day of 90+F here, then maybe a little cooler next week hopefully

3:03 pm

MollyL

Oddly cool summer in the DC area? No way. It's been hot for weeks up until now. Many days of high heat indexes and dangerous heat warnings.

3:09 pm

Gillie

Certainly the recent temperatures in Washington DC do not look like sweater weather to me (although he was also wearing shorts, apparently, which is a bit weird)

3:12 pm

MollyL

I see that shorts and sweater thing a lot and I don't get it.

3:15 pm

Gillie

I guess it is easier to put on a sweater than long pants if you feel a bit chilly

4:13 pm

cybernan

hi again :)

4:36 pm

cybernan

4:50 pm

5:45 pm

hokie carla

definitely would not have come up with that one, thanks

5:48 pm

hokie carla

it's been as hot as [insert favorite simile] here.

5:48 pm

MollyL

Nice picture Carla. Did you take that?

5:49 pm

hokie carla

yes, probably one of the best ones I've ever taken. took it in Ft. Peck, MT, after a thunderstorm. no filter or any editing, the colors were crazy.

5:49 pm

penquis

hello all...

5:50 pm

hokie carla

pen!

5:50 pm

penquis

carla!

5:53 pm

MollyL

When I find those after shooting a bunch of pictures I call them my OH MY GOD shots. I only have a few.

5:54 pm

penquis

cool...i used to take lots of pics....

5:55 pm

BzznBea

Finished this one.

5:55 pm

hokie carla

I only took 2, and they are both great. The other one has the campsite picnic table in it and the tree is zoomed out more.

5:55 pm

penquis

congrats!....45 left here...

5:55 pm

MollyL

I have one of a newly hatched baby hawk that I took from 50 feet under the nest that looks like you are sitting on the branch with him

5:55 pm

hokie carla

nice bea! 29 here. gonna have to list soon.

5:55 pm

penquis

very cool!

5:56 pm

hokie carla

wow

5:56 pm

penquis

i have been watching our local osprey nest's web cam....it's been fun to watch them come out of the eggs, learn to fly, and bring home small fish to eat...

5:57 pm

penquis

when they were born they looked like aliens... ;o)

5:57 pm

hokie carla

that does sound fun, how about a link? :D

5:57 pm

BzznBea

I love watching birds.

5:57 pm

penquis

go to rocklandmaine.gov and there is a link on the left...

5:58 pm

BzznBea

The bluejays are back for the winter. I heard them calling each other yesterday afternoon.

5:58 pm

hokie carla

mr homie said earlier today "there's a falcon in our tree out there". I was like are you sure that's not a hawk? got up to look and it flew away. definitely looked like a hawk to me. I don't even know if we have falcons.

5:59 pm

hokie carla

oh, the bluejays never left here.

5:59 pm

penquis

now they are away a lot....only come to the nest if they are hungry....they squawk for a while....sometimes mom brings a piece of fish that they fight over, but sometimes she doesn't and they fly away....

6:00 pm

penquis

they are interesting birds....they will leave for Central America or South America sometime in September....the babies will not be back for a couple years when they are ready to mate...the parents won't fly together, but they will both return to the same nest....

6:00 pm

penquis

sorry...got carried away!

6:01 pm

BzznBea

What an interesting nest.

6:03 pm

penquis

yes...the pole was destroyed in two bad winter storms this year....so in the spring the asst. harbor master scrounged up materials to build a new one....the osprey started moving in within hours....guess they were waiting for repairs...;o)

6:04 pm

penquis

the white cloth is a recent addition..

6:05 pm

hokie carla

wow, that's huge!

6:05 pm

penquis

well they are large birds...

6:06 pm

penquis

and there were three babies so it was a little crowded when they couldn't fly....

6:06 pm

penquis

when they were gearing up to the task of learning to fly, they would hop around the nest and flap their wings...it was very cute!

6:07 pm

hokie carla

awww

6:07 pm

penquis

adults can have wingspans of up to six feet...

6:08 pm

hokie carla

not sure I've ever seen one

6:08 pm

penquis

they tend to make nests near the ocean shore because 99 percent of their diet is fish...

6:09 pm

hokie carla

smart

6:09 pm

penquis

i also have a nest near my place, but i can't really see anything going on there....did find a dead fish near my car last summer....

6:09 pm

hokie carla

okay, not seeing the du6,7, and 5 in a row.

6:10 pm

hokie carla

my SIL in FL had a bald eagle nest next door. very messy around there.

6:10 pm

penquis

du 6 i thing of as an adjective....referring to a voice having dj**** tones...sweet sounding....

6:10 pm

hokie carla

ah yes, thanks

6:11 pm

penquis

the osprey are "projectile" poopers...not wise to get tot close to the nest...

6:11 pm

hokie carla

found the 5 too

6:11 pm

penquis

the du 5 starts with the same first three letters....

6:14 pm

hokie carla

ok, I do not feel bad about missing the 4 EL words I missed.

6:14 pm

penquis

i have two...el 6/7...what are the stats of the others?

6:14 pm

hokie carla

same

6:15 pm

penquis

i assumed those two were missed...so there are two sets of those?

6:15 pm

penquis

got them...ty...

6:15 pm

hokie carla

yes, without knowing what either means, I surmise one is an adj and one a verb

6:16 pm

hokie carla

LOL, wrong! both are nouns

6:16 pm

penquis

ah well....not familiar with them either...

6:19 pm

penquis

what are the stats for the lower left corner R?...

6:19 pm

hokie carla

LOL, the new, odd words keep coming. i.e. pe7/8

6:19 pm

hokie carla

ri6/21

6:19 pm

penquis

don't have those....have a 6/7 combo but not those...

6:19 pm
