helenkeller

i wondered that too :)

12:29 am

jillibus

really nice icon and write-up, metal

12:29 am

helenkeller

kier - i used the very same icon when the theme was 'blue'

12:29 am

torgone

The country names that don't have a flag don't show up on IE sometimes ..

12:30 am

12:30 am

12:37 am

12:37 am

jillibus

12:37 am

We ran into some Iranian students who said they hated Baku . . .When Iranians hate your country, your country stinks ...4

12:40 am

jillibus

but bj, it doesn't say so right where the flag belongs - you have to put the cursor over the blank flag space

12:41 am

rebel666

30 words

12:42 am

brandyjack

Guess i'm missing sometheing here. That's what I get for jumping into the middle of a comversation. I get the tooltip with the country name if i hover over the flag, blank or not. I don't see a country name anywhere else except in the profile itself.

12:43 am

brandyjack

As for firefox, I gave up on that a while ago when it started barfing on the chat log history.

12:45 am

jillibus

tor pointed out that with Firefox (and I found also with Netscape) that the name of the country which has no flag appears where the flag would be without having to hover over a blank rectangle

12:45 am

GreyWoulf

G'noght all -- I am falling asleep at the keyboard and not really chatting so I am gonna go to bed -- see you soon {{**Hugs to all**}}

3:33 am

sprite

We have a good friend over, we lost a mutual friend this year, it will be enough to share the family warmth and support each other through this last festive day. Peace and quiet is what we go for.

3:33 am

Andree

lovely thankx lynxxx, my daughter did the honours this year, first time I got a break since I took over from my mother in law over 30 years ago

3:34 am

lynxxx

LOL - its the only time my dog will set on my lap - he's ppetrified of the noise!

3:34 am

Frances

Ours loves them. He drags me outside to watch

3:35 am

Andree

I think most pets are scared of the noise

3:35 am

sprite

That's pretty amazing for a dog, Frances!

3:37 am

lynxxx

OK think its time to hit Lickety - 111 down but not seeing anything new

3:37 am

Andree

my son and family arrived today from living overseas for 13 years, we are allvery excited to have them here to live again

3:39 am

Frances

sprite, he's a deep chocolate brown weimaraner/Hungarian Vizla cross and is the most affectionate dog I know. He is wonderful but given the chance he would run all day - and I do mean all day. He gets walked for about four hours a day - minimum.

3:39 am

Andree

their dog will see the freworks at quarantine station, should have a million dollar view, lol

3:40 am

lynxxx

Wow Andree - that will be great for you. Where have they been living? Have you seen them during those years?

3:41 am

sprite

Sounds like a great dog, Frances! Can't he be in your icon one day? Would love to see him.
I am happy for you, Andree - must be wonderful to have them close again.

dh5/14 and dh6/24

3:45 am

sprite

How on earth can there be 8s and 9s in THIS grid? I have trouble finding 7s!

3:46 am

Andree

I am having trouble finding 4's, sprite

3:46 am

anike

dh 5/14 is a loin cloth and 6/24 is plural

3:47 am

sprite

Yeah, that too, Andree, lol.

3:50 am

Andree

both do6/21's please

3:54 am

sprite

I have 'more fond of'. No other yet.

3:55 am

Andree

thx sprite

3:57 am

Andree

also need the 2x do5/12's, not the giver of blood

3:57 am

Haz1558

The other one is to put on (as in clothes), plus men's neckwear, but with the t replaced by the plural letter.

3:58 am

Haz1558

There is the giver in two different guises, one ending in a double vowel

3:58 am

sprite

For 5s I have the blood donor - change last 2 letters.

3:59 am

Haz1558

Sprite said a word.....

3:59 am

sprite

Oooowwwww..... how incredibly stupid. I am soooo sorry!

3:59 am

Haz1558

Not to worry! Is the double vowel the receiver? It gets me confused..

4:00 am

sprite

Also have (she whispered almost inaudible) do5 plural of do4, bit, trifle, or dutch co4.

4:01 am

sprite

Haz, it seems the double vowel one is a law word.
1. a person to whom a gift is made.
2. a person who has a power of appointment in property.

4:01 am

Haz1558

Thank you!

4:02 am

Andree

4:05 am

sprite

ok, found one 8/9 combo. Prefix not out + royal seat, past tense is the 9. Desperation has led to a biggie :)

4:05 am

Andree

nice dog frances

4:06 am

Haz1558

But that normally would be spelt with en, wouldn't it?

4:06 am

lynxxx

do you want the co8&9?

4:07 am

Andree

de6/24 please

4:07 am

sprite

Yes it would, Haz, I just looked it up, wondered myself :)
Lynxxx... pleassssse! I feel like I am babbling for the very first time, am sooo blind to words.

4:08 am

lynxxx

co + opp of yes + what you might say to a child - **** touch the fire! & plural

4:08 am

Andree

its that kind of grid sprite, like pulling teeth

4:08 am

Haz1558

de6/24 - to confuse or mislead someone (noun)

4:08 am

Andree

thx haz

4:08 am

Haz1558

de7/36 is the plural

4:08 am

sprite

lynxxx, thanks, wonderful clue. Strange words.

4:10 am

sprite

Looked up the def of the C: a Paleozoic microfossil occurring in various jagged or toothlike shapes and constituting the hard remains of an extinct marine animal of the order C8a (or C8ophorida), found abundantly worldwide in sedimentary rock.
We all knew that, right?

4:10 am

Haz1558

I know it now, but will I still know it tomorrow?

4:11 am

lynxxx

errr yes ! well after some-one earlier clued it!

4:11 am

sprite

I will, more or less. I can connect fossil to Mast(same ending as C) the big extinct elephant :D

4:12 am

sprite

I have 2 7s, prefix + where the beach is.

4:13 am

Haz1558

And do you have what speaks louder than words? There's also a plural painkiller (or thereabouts)

4:14 am

sprite

I have the painkiller. Not the other one yet, I think. I do have the words, lol. Not practise but T6.

4:15 am

sprite

Also Co7/32 THE act.

4:16 am

4:21 am

sprite

Yes, I did, thanks. Also found the Ca from lynxxx, thank you lynxxx :) Slowly getting there.

4:22 am

Haz1558

It's taking a long time to grey any squares......

4:23 am

It is a slow grid, indeed. Also not very rewarding, not many words that make me smile finding them anyway.

4:24 am

lynxxx

TY Haz - I could only think of ducks for a while but did at last find the de...

4:24 am

Haz1558

Jacula

11:30 am

grammaterri1

grammaterri1

hi Kate!

11:45 am

sherb

afternoon kate :)

11:45 am

kthdsn

everything just got a whole lot worse

11:45 am

grammaterri1

oh no what?

11:45 am

kthdsn

he's been seeing her for the past couple of weeks and he's leaving to be with her

11:46 am

kthdsn

I kept asking him what was going on and he kept telling me they were just friends and she was helping him out by giving him a break every now and again, I knew I didn't believe him

11:47 am

kthdsn

I wouldn't have cared so much if he had told me the truth, but I'm so hurt that he lied to me so many times

11:47 am

grammaterri1

Dear Jesus, we don't know why things like this happen, but I ask that you be with Kate just now, grant her peace, and your strength to get thru this, thank you Father for your grace, amen

11:47 am

kthdsn

I was trying so hard to hold on to him as a friend and it's all blown up in my stupid niave face

11:47 am

grammaterri1

yes lying only hurts people worse

11:48 am

grammaterri1

I don't think you are stupid, love is very blind darlig

11:48 am

kthdsn

I've never felt so alone

11:48 am

grammaterri1

it took me 10 years to be friends with my ex, way to painful at first

11:49 am

sherb

don't let this make you think that you're stupid kate...

11:49 am

grammaterri1

amen sherb, (((hugs))) kate

11:49 am

jean1953

good afternoon everybody:)

11:49 am

grammaterri1

hi jean

11:50 am

kthdsn

I'm so angry and hurt, I'm trying so hard not to cry, I don't want to sit here alone and crying

11:50 am

grammaterri1

crying is healthy and healing kate

11:51 am

kthdsn

I don't want to cry alone, I know I need to cry but i don't have the strength to do it on my own

11:51 am

Judi

Go ahead and cry, Kate. Might as well get started before the kids see you. Best to have a good cleansing cry. Best to do it while you're alone so you can really let it all go.

11:52 am

kthdsn

I have run out of strength, I just can't do it any more

11:52 am

grammaterri1

I know that anger keeps the crying emotions at bay also, but grieving a lost love is just as crucial as grieving a death

11:53 am

grammaterri1

it feels like death

11:53 am

leep

kate- you may be the only one there physically, but you are not alone

11:53 am

kthdsn

I wish I was dead, I wouldn't have to feel it any more

11:53 am

grammaterri1

I know that online friends can't really DO anything, but know that people do care

11:54 am

grammaterri1

amen leep

11:54 am

grammaterri1

that's a normal feeling kate, but you know that would only make matters worse for your family

11:54 am

Wyrd

living well is the best revenge kate

11:55 am

asculptor2

Kthdsn,

11:55 am

Judi

Ivanna Trump said: "Don't get mad, get everything!". Been following your story, Kate. Wish there was something left of his that you could get.

11:55 am

Yvo

KtH please dont qwish something so awful ,think about your 3 little ones ,they need you now more than ever

11:55 am

asculptor2

His idiocy is not your fault...not a reflection on you.

11:56 am

asculptor2

And when you are ready, you may use the phrase my best friend in college and I used after a bad date, bad relationship, etc.

11:56 am

asculptor2

In a word it is

11:56 am

asculptor2

"NEXT!"

11:56 am

Wyrd

so true asculptor

11:57 am

sherb

lol

11:57 am

Judi

Amen, asculptor!

11:57 am

Jacula

(Just returned from a 'phone call.) Katie - I know how you feel, I've been through it myself but you MUST hold onto life for yourself, for your children and for your family. I know it all feels hopeless and sh*tty right now but it WILL get better. You can rebuild your life - never doubt it!xx

11:57 am

grammaterri1

boy it so doesn't feel that way now, but yep Jacula is right

11:58 am

kthdsn

I just feel dead

11:58 am

leep

kate - Think of someone, a friend or family member that you can call now to support you and have a good cry with, then call them.

11:59 am

grammaterri1

dead people don't feel ( : but I know what you mean

11:59 am

Judi

You are emotionally exhausted, Kate. And who wouldn't be. You've taken a beating lately.

11:59 am

Jacula

katie - Your feelings are normal; it's a grieving process.

11:59 am

asculptor2

you know, your body sends chemical signals in response to shock....and gradually reabsorbs them and you begin to feel a little lighter... it will happen!

12:00 pm

kthdsn

all I know is I need to get out of here and get to canada

12:00 pm

asculptor2

you are stronger than you know.

12:01 pm

Judi

Are there any faith based organizations (churches,shelters, etc.) that you can turn to, Kate? They might be able to provide some emotional as well as financial support right now. Most types of places have an influx of cash right after the holidays.

12:01 pm

ypsigirl

Kate, I just was reading your websites. I like the trials you have documented. And your girls! How beautiful! You are going to be OK. My mom and dad divorced and there were 3 of us kids. We are all OK. Both remarried. Things will get better!

12:03 pm

kthdsn

I just don't know what to do right now, I know I can manage in the long run, i know I'll pick up the peices somehow, but right this minute I don't know what to do with myself

12:05 pm

ypsigirl

well my mom passed away in sept and I had a hard christmas... I know what's it like to lose someone youthought you would have for a long time, but you just be and get up and take care of your girls and yourself and stop beating yourself up and try to figure out your next steps.

12:06 pm

Jacula

katie - again, that is a perfectly normal feeling. You feel like a caged animal, not sure whether to pace aimlessly, run about and panic or just roar with pain and frustration. Step back, take a few deep breaths and try to re-centre yourself. Relaxation tapes can help - even bring the healing tears you so desperately need.

12:06 pm

grammaterri1

((ypsi))

12:07 pm

grammaterri1

right Jacula

12:09 pm

Jacula

Got to go and make dinner now. My sympathy for your loss, ypsi. Katie - Hold on to things. You WILL come through this.

12:09 pm

rolin

hi all..does anyone have the first ac6 pls?

my partner found it...(he made me say this..lol)

12:11 pm

grammaterri1

that's fine kate, and really nothing we can say or even do will help, you have to work thru your grief

12:11 pm

grammaterri1

lol rolin

12:11 pm

leep

you don't have to say anything kate, just hang in there.

12:12 pm

Oh B*gger! Just taken a trip up the stairs, after helping newly arrive home daughter with latest feeing on sick rabbit. Last advice I gave other half re too-hot bedroom was 'leave door open'. It seems to have worked for him because he is sleepinf (and not even snoring). However, he has, in his tossing & turning, dragged entire bottom sheet and mattress cover off my side of bed. I cannot sleep on what's there and I can't put it right either, with Other Half's weight on it.:((((

Hmm - I'll huff and puff a lot when I go up... if he opens his eyes, or even one eye, after that, I'll hit him with my 'Evil Bitch' look. That should do the trick! LOL.

10:33 pm

Jacula

BJ - They are called 'Essex Tractors' here in UK.

10:34 pm

harpjane

the thing is, most people who have them don't actually NEED that sort of vehicle, they do very little driving that uses the four-wheel drive. We just need them because we THINK we need them!

10:34 pm

o2baflyndog

we sensible subaru drivers drive up the snowy mountain at a reasonable speed, passing all the SUVs overturned on the side of the freeway... thought they could go fast because of the size of their vehicle

10:34 pm

Same here, Harp. I do live in a semi-rural village where half of us DO need that type of vehicle (or just a basic Land Rover) but most of these stupid car owners are women driving kids 50 yards to school down a tarmac road!

Well, if you need a vehicle that will take a harp through the mountains one day, and a family through the mountains the next, then you could make a case for it. But most just want to be the biggest SOB (oops, excuse me SUV) on the road...

co9 is the plural of a long-gone animal that is co8/50. co8 = co* (dupe) + vowel + squashed up form of do not. The 9 adds the usual consonant for the plural.

Come on! Get with you it you lot! When my Dad was in a closed ward due to dementia, and, belive me it was hard out-running him to the door, where he'd then beat on it and yell, 'Don't leave me! I want to go home!' (But, he'd do that when he WAS at home, too.)
