Oh dear thats really unlike you , you are right it MUST be your age.... *runs aways fast*

4:03 am

Jacula

Yes, CsCd.

4:03 am

Haz1558

There you are, FMItch can run. Not me. I told you it was my age.

4:04 am

Jacula

I don't 'do' running either, Haz.

4:04 am

FMitch

Vitrual running does not count.

4:05 am

CsCdeFounder

fireworks then :)

4:05 am

Jacula

BTW, when 'vinca' turns up we can't call her pe4. She's in the grid AGAIN.

4:05 am

Haz1558

Congratulations!

4:05 am

Jacula

Well done, CsCd.

4:06 am

CsCdeFounder

thanks

4:06 am

morning all you menopausal ladies. Sorry, too tactless....it's my age, you know!!

4:06 am

FMitch

Congrats CsCd

Yea, she has had a monopoly on her name appearing recently

4:06 am

Haz1558

She's in the grid disproportionately often.

4:07 am

CsCdeFounder

sorry bout that...i'm lagging a bit; didn't look like it went in the first 2 times i hit enter

4:07 am

Haz1558

I'll wave across to Stranraer tomorrow - we'll be on the boat to Cairnryan.

4:08 am

Jacula

Morning, Liz. LOL

4:08 am

lizmac

I'm off to Eire for 10 days tomorrow, you must wave mid-channel, Haz!

4:08 am

Jacula

Two ships that pass in the night...

4:08 am

Haz1558

So we'll both miss out on the delights of Stranraer, then?

4:09 am

lizmac

I'll be the one on the balcony cooling off.

4:09 am

Haz1558

We're heading to Edinburgh for a week, staying with number two daughter.

4:09 am

Haz1558

Liz, wait till I tell you about the ferries. When you say balcony, you mean the deck, don't you?

4:10 am

Jacula

Lovely, Haz. (I'm reading about Edinburgh at present. 2nd of the 44 Scotland St books.)

4:10 am

lizmac

I sometimes I must suffer for my wanderlust, Haz. I'm a bit of a martyr to it....I.M.A.

4:10 am

Jacula

I do feel sorry for young Bertie, Haz.

4:10 am

Haz1558

I'm looking forward to it, Jacula. We both know the city pretty well, having been there at university, but it'll be a novelty being a tourist.

4:11 am

Haz1558

Poor Bertie - he just can't get that mother to understand.

4:11 am

Jacula

Crushed strawberry pink dungarees and a pink painted 'space'. Poor lad! I think his mother's mad.

4:11 am

lizmac

Don't get smart with me, Haz, it's the fast ferry....so has balconies at the back. Don't worry, it's just your age.

4:12 am

FMitch

Phone BRB

4:12 am

Haz1558

I loved the bit where they discovered he was doing the graffiti because it was written in Italian.

4:13 am

Haz1558

The fast ferry has balconies? I've never been on it long enough to explore, it's sooooo fast.

4:13 am

Jacula

'phone

4:14 am

lynxxx

Bye for now - I need a nap (which will probably be 4 hours) - it IS my age!

4:14 am

Haz1558

We used to use the Larne Stranraer ferry for going back and forward to Edinburgh. We always snickered at the people who stood up to queue for the doors as soon as they spotted land.

4:14 am

Haz1558

Sleep well, lynxxx!

4:14 am

lizmac

We're off to Edinburgh too, when we get back from Eire. Son's moving to St. Andrews to continue PhD work there...and of course has a huge amount of stuff to move.

4:15 am

Haz1558

Students and minimalism are mutually exclusive terms.

4:16 am

lizmac

No wonder you sniggered, they'd have HOURS to go, there's only about half an hour without land in sight LOL

4:16 am

Haz1558

I know, it was always the bit at the head of Loch Ryan that got them excited. The old-timers like us just settled back for another hour.

4:17 am

toadandtoadette

Good Morning Babbleland

4:17 am

Haz1558

Good morning toad.

4:17 am

lizmac

Indeed, that's the time to START on the paper you picked up in the terminal.

4:18 am

Haz1558

I always thought they should make an announcement but maybe the ferry staff got a kick out of it as well.

4:18 am

toadandtoadette

Bryan called... yah. it was so nice to talk to him.

4:19 am

Haz1558

That was good.

4:20 am

Haz1558

Liz, whereabouts are you staying down south?

4:20 am

Jacula

I'm back. Haz - the Italian thing was funny. I also laughed at him imagining his mother making him wear leather dungarees when he grew up to be a biker and all the other bikers laughing at him.

4:20 am

Colhad

howdy folks, got working fires, they decided to find employment :P

4:21 am

Haz1558

I know, poor little boy, Jacula. His torment continues in book 3 when she makes him join a teenage orchestra.

4:21 am

Jacula

Hi, Colhad, Toad & anyone else I missed.

4:21 am

lizmac

Yes, I think they can get stuck into the cleaning and be just about finished by the time they dock with no pesky passengers sitting about.

4:22 am

toadandtoadette

hi

4:22 am

Jacula

Haz - Oh no!

4:23 am

Haz1558

They go on a tour to Paris. He gets lost. It's very funny.

4:23 am

Colhad

hi Jacula, Haz, Toad

4:23 am

Haz1558

Hello Colhad.

4:23 am

Jacula

Right. 36 left to find but I must shower and aways to the sh5/14 with my Mum. (Not shower with my Mum! LOL)

4:24 am

Atalante

hi y'all

4:24 am

Haz1558

Have a good day, Jacula. I'll be back next week, probably exhausted trying to dodge gaggles of Japanese tourists in tartan.

4:24 am

Jacula

Hi & 'bye, Ata. BBL.

4:24 am

Haz1558

Hello Atalante!

4:24 am

lizmac

Haz, we're taking the caravan (not exactly Romany style..all sites MUST have electric hookups etc.) Dublin 3 days, then Cork ,Killarney, Limerick up to Sligo and back across to Belfast.

4:25 am

Colhad

I'll give clues if anyone needs em

4:25 am

Haz1558

You'll have seen more of Ireland than I have by the time you're finished, liz. Hopefully the weather will be kind, and you certainly won't starve.

4:25 am

Atalante

do you get to exhibit traveller behaviour while travelling round ireland, liz?

4:26 am

Haz1558

She'll need to get her deep Irish voice, then.

4:26 am

Atalante

got your fake tan ready?

4:26 am

Haz1558

Fake tan, plenty of jewellery, minimal clothing.

4:26 am

toadandtoadette

isn't rios a word... spanish for rivers

4:26 am

Haz1558

I'm not needing clues, Colhad, thanks for the offer.

4:27 am

Atalante

I think so, toad!

4:27 am

lizmac

That was the idea, Haz. The ferry costs more than a flight to the States, so it'll be a one-off.

4:27 am

Haz1558

It accepts rias, toad, not the masculine version.

4:27 am

toadandtoadette

strange. oh well. haha

4:27 am

lizmac

Definitely full tourist mode ..talking slowly and loudly so the natives can understand etc.

4:28 am

Atalante

ultimate luxury today, tesco delivery so I dont have to carry heavy stuff from supermarket. waiting for the nice men to bring me ice cream

4:28 am

Haz1558

The ferry prices are pretty amazing.

4:28 am

Haz1558

Don't forget the straw in the mouth, Liz.

4:28 am

Haz1558

Right, I just take a quick break, back later....

4:29 am

toadandtoadette

bye haz

4:29 am

Oops. *s** to see or find.

6:35 am

rolin

they do haz??...

6:36 am

Haz1558

Over here, women trying to be polite make their a letters sound like e. Hence, feeling cra**y would be rendered with an e.

6:37 am

rolin

hmmm...you obviously hang with a more 'refined' society than i do..lol

6:37 am

Haz1558

Or maybe I should say, trying to be po4/6 rather than polite. Polite women wouldn't be saying the word at all!

Callie is chowing out, as usual. As I was making their salads 15 min ago, she was eating out of the plastic bags of greens that I set next to the fridge when I finished putting that green on the plates. She loves to eat!

7:45 am

Dorens

pluralised, though. I put them in caponata... they are savory, rather piquant, and actually seeds of a flower

7:45 am

EvaNadine

CA6 are little black thingies you often use when cooking fish.

7:46 am

Dorens

oh, sorry kristine. they are not below the nut, though. (am listless so far).

7:46 am

Scrabbler

Good description, Eva--I pick them off my food when at a restaurant.

7:46 am

Dorens

so scrabbler, sounds like she's happy at least. that's good

7:46 am

KristineNas

thats ok was just gonna say that

7:47 am

EvaNadine

gonna go grab breakfast now -- back in a bit!

7:47 am

Scrabbler

She is quite happy and active and eating tons. She just dribbles her pee a lot. Hmm, that describes me too.

7:47 am

Dorens

lol scrabs... me too, particularly when laughing my head off on the phone with my sister

7:48 am

KristineNas

i have the first Ca 6,24 I need the second it's a 6,24 7,36 combo <i believe it's pluralised anyway>

7:48 am

Dorens

i need breakfast too... but am on a good flow hee, so hunger will just have to be unabated for a bit more

7:48 am

Scrabbler

Often, when I awake with a full bladder, just getting out of bed and standing up causes leakage. Isn't is great to turn into our mothers?

7:49 am

Dorens

*trying hard NOT to*

7:49 am

Dorens

i don't mind leaking, but don't want to turn into my mother (if you met her, you might understand)

7:49 am

Scrabbler

Me too, Doren, but those time-release genes doom us.

7:49 am

72 Temple Owl

hey all!

7:50 am

Dorens

hey owl

7:50 am

Scrabbler

Hi Owl!

7:51 am

Dorens

no scrabs, I believe in the possibility of cchange (I am a counselor, after all). and my sister and I are ever-vigilant, helping each other out when we see signs of her creeping in

7:51 am

72 Temple Owl

LOL at "time release genes"

7:52 am

Dorens

they do exist, though.. I'm watching my sons turn into their father

7:52 am

Scrabbler

My sisters and I warn each other, with vicious teasing, of when we are behaving like our eccentric mother.

7:52 am

Dorens

facial expressions, hand gestures... things they didn't learnn copying him cause they didn't spend all that much time with him , but they're starting

7:53 am

Scrabbler

Isn't it fascinating?

7:53 am

Dorens

yes scrabs, exactly... what we do.. sometimes we try to be gentle though (sis and I)

7:54 am

Scrabbler

My sisters and I aren't gentle...yet.

7:54 am

Scrabbler

It is more like instilling extreme fear into one another that we will turn into Mom.

7:54 am

Dorens

at our age, it starts getting scarier, i think

7:54 am

KristineNas

~!~!~!~!~!FIREWORKS~!~!~!~!~!

7:55 am

Scrabbler

Yahoooo Kris!!!!

7:55 am

KristineNas

The Ca 6,36 I needed was ca + Sh 4,5 and plural

7:55 am

bummer

7:55 am

Dorens

yay kristine (guess you found the elusive ca6?)

7:55 am

72 Temple Owl

my mom and i didn't see eye to eye. my ex husband delighted in pointing out to me that i behaved just like her - according tohim

7:55 am

KristineNas

ty e1

7:55 am

Dorens

Scrabbler

Scrabbler

Book Doctor Gwen

phantom: tapioca

8:13 am

Book Doctor Gwen

(sports talk doesn't scare me. quite the opposite reaction) LOL

8:14 am

Scrabbler

Sorry, I am off doing e-mail stuff. Owl--Bunny Callie is happy, active and eating well. But she is 7 and has bladder issues. I have not called the vet yet because they will want to do X-rays which means general anesthesia and spending lots of money. I think I just need to keep her happy.

8:14 am

Book Doctor Gwen

sorry, judi, didn't see your tapioca post htere

8:15 am

72 Temple Owl

is 7 old for a bunny? i don't know anything about them.

8:17 am

Scrabbler

She is considered "geriatric" now. The oldest bunny I ever had lived to 7 1/2 yrs--she had breast cancer.

8:17 am

Buttonman

ca 6/24 and the 7

8:17 am

Anniebrook

button, as BR clued, nut with a cold

8:18 am

greenbayladi

sc 7/36

8:18 am

72 Temple Owl

i think you are right - they so hate the vet, why put them through that if there's nothing to be done?

8:18 am

Scrabbler

Buttonman--alternate spellings for the nut. Sounds like the sound when we sneeze--ach**.

8:19 am

Anniebrook

Scrab, I guess as long as Callie can be kept comfortable then she can enjoy her remaining years...she loves to eat so that is a good sign she is not in pain, am I right?

8:19 am

Judi

Shane! Come back, Shane!

8:19 am

Scrabbler

Owl, I spent almost $900 in May to have her "tuned up", but I cannot do that every 2-3 months when her bladder fills with calcium sludge. Loredana gave me some info froma UK rabbit website that helped me.

8:20 am

Book Doctor Gwen

sc7 = sc + vowel + when you get your picture taken you strike a ****

8:20 am

72 Temple Owl

there is something other to do besides manual ntervention?

8:20 am

Angelsong

8:21 am

Scrabbler

Annie--she is quite happy and in no pain, so I know what I need to do for now, and I never let my pets suffer.

8:21 am

Buttonman

sorry, don't get the clue for the ca 6/36

8:22 am

Book Doctor Gwen

button, two syllable word, a tasty nut that is small and curved like a banana

8:23 am

Anniebrook

Scrabbler, Callie is a lucky rabbit to have you...does she still follow you everywhere you go?

8:24 am

Scrabbler

Annie--yes, she was here next to me in this room, but returned to eat her salad. She is my shadow and I will miss her terribly when she is gone someday.

8:24 am

EvaNadine

wow, when it rains, it pours!
even though ive accepted the position with the new contractor, one of the managers here is asking for resumes because she may be hiring at her new place, which is so much closer to where i now live!

that would be fabu. :)

8:25 am

Buttonman

Book, got that one....this one is the 6 before the combo

8:25 am

Book Doctor Gwen

sorry, button, don't have that one either!

8:26 am

EvaNadine

button -- do you need the little black things that people often use when cooking fish?

8:26 am

Buttonman

thanks, Book

8:27 am

Book Doctor Gwen

hmmm, just got the other ca6, it is same as the nut, but ends with the only letter that has a multi-syllable name

8:28 am

Judi

Okay, I can function normally now. I just finished the Y's and J's.

8:28 am

Scrabbler

Great news, Eva!!

8:28 am

EvaNadine

8:29 am

Book Doctor Gwen

Scrabbler

There are 2 ways to spell the nut--one ends with sh4,5 and the other with sh+ yuk

I'm just hoping no 1 daughter remembers to get out of bed most days.

8:48 am

Judi

I'm sure Spangle will be a good alarm clock, Haz.

8:49 am

Haz1558

She's terribly patient, it's only when times are desperate that she'll start barking for attention.

8:50 am

Atalante

so about 4pm then ... good time for daughter to get out of bed!

8:50 am

Judi

She might be a little more fussy with her mum gone.

8:50 am

We'll see. Daughter has been well warned that Spangle is not on a night shift routine like her.

9:51 am

mrpresident

family issues gone very wrong. it is my nephews birthday party today, and my sisterinlaw rang and gave me a serving of bitch... all cause my dad got involved in something that wasn't his issue to discuss with them

9:52 am

NonoNanette

oh mrp thats awful

9:53 am

mrpresident

I am hurting. :( I am not going to my nephews birthday party now

9:53 am

Jacula

Oh dear! Not what you needed right now. (HUGS)

9:53 am

NonoNanette

jacula, I was watching the glass blowing videos you have posted on your profile

9:53 am

Atalante

oh no :(

9:53 am

mrpresident

well, she rang to tell lickety off, but he wasn't available, so I copped the mouthful and it hurt

9:54 am

NonoNanette

perhaps you can spend some time with him after the party mrp

9:55 am

Jacula

Nanette - clever, those glass blowers, aren't they?

9:55 am

NonoNanette

yes for sure

9:55 am

Jacula

Does lickey know about this yet, MrP?

9:55 am

mrpresident

so I rang my dad, and asked him why he got involved and said what he said to my brother... he swears he didn't mean to make it sound like it did... so I yelled at him "hope you are happy that my brother isn't talking to me"

9:55 am

NonoNanette

I live near Corning NY where steuben glass is made and have seen it in person a few times

9:56 am

mrpresident

nono, he will have to contact me, cause I tried calling and they are not answering... childish stuff

9:56 am

NonoNanette

9:56 am

mrpresident

I am hurt so bad. I love my brother

9:57 am

NonoNanette

your father needs to make it right!

9:57 am

Atalante

how exactly is it your fault that your dad said something?

9:57 am

Jacula

No wonder you're upset, MrP. Hopefully, it will all be sorted out soon.

9:58 am

EvaNadine

MrP!
sorry to hear you are going through family crises, but glad to hear you are recovering well!

9:59 am

mrpresident

I told dad the problem between lickety and my brother... I have no issues with my brother and his wife... but she told me to f**k off and that she was upset with me 'interferring' in her family... I have never interferred... so I am confused and I told her so. She was childish and just went mad at me. I asked her what my dad had said and she hung up on me... it hurts

10:00 am

mrpresident

dad can deal with it now. I am just so so sad that I am missing his 1st birthday

10:01 am

NonoNanette

oh my his first birthday! what a shame that it has been spoiled for you

10:01 am

mrpresident

my dad was shocked that she rang me and told me off... he said it was just not called for and that she had got it all wrong.
I told dad that I was so upset with him for involving me in the argument with lickety and my brother

10:02 am

EvaNadine

i feel for you MrP -- i almost missed my brothers wedding because of a situation with the same kinda of feel...

3:34 pm

Haz1558

I know what I'm bringing, more or less, everything's ready, it's just a case of getting into the case in the morning.

3:35 pm

Atalante

does Spangle know Something's Going On yet?

3:35 pm

Haz1558

No, not yet, because the cases haven't had their ceremonial dragging.

3:35 pm

Atalante

ahhh very wise!

3:36 pm

FMitch

Another good reason to leave it till the morning and less time for clothes to crease too

3:36 pm

Haz1558

I predict that husband will start agitating at midnight, asking me things like 'What should I bring?'

3:36 pm

Haz1558

He packs for himself but it seems to involve family decision making.

3:37 pm

Atalante

put the earplugs in!

3:37 pm

Haz1558

What a good idea!

3:37 pm

Haz1558

They're on the packing list.

3:39 pm

Haz1558

We get back next Saturday afternoon, FMitch. Stand by your beds for evening inspection!

3:39 pm

FMitch

stid, check my blog later tonight. i saw an awesome piece titled "what is a boy" at the pediatrician's office today, and the office staff copied it for me. going to post it, but it'll be long to type in, so might take a bit.

featherbee

"when you are busy, a boy is an inconsiderate, bothersome, intruding jangle of noise. when you want him to make a good impression, his brain turns to jelly, or else he becomes a savage, sadistic jungle creature, bent on destroying the world and himself with it."

5:13 pm

featherbee

"nobody else is so early to rise, or so late to supper. nobody else gets so much fun out of trees, dogs and breezes."

5:13 pm

stidmama

Jean, why were you in Seattle? Our reasons to go are usually the science center, the Art Museums or people who are visiting...

5:13 pm

featherbee

ty jean!

5:13 pm

stidmama

LOL feather! that is SO true!

5:14 pm

featherbee

the whole thing is just wonderful! all the good and not always so good things about boys

5:14 pm

stidmama

I think the best thing about boys (in general) is that they don't squeak as much -- said by a woman with hyper-sensitive hearing.

5:15 pm

EspritdJean

Stid, was there for a conference

5:15 pm

featherbee

i'm giving myself a 9pm curfew tonight, so check by 6pm your time.

5:15 pm

featherbee

lol stid!

5:15 pm

stidmama

I think the worst thing about boys is that eventually they think they aren't allowed to be "sweet" or like pretty, soft things (so far we have managed to help them enjoy pretty things still...)

5:15 pm

stidmama

okay feather, will do. ;-)

5:15 pm

featherbee

nick's stirring, gotta go. well not really, as i'll be sitting here watching the chat go by as we nurse....

HI feather, just read your blog and saw your pictures. Nicholas is a beautiful baby and Daniel is adorable. Was nice to see your smiling face and Doug's too.

I am glad you were here for the good weather Jean -- my dear friends from Tbilisi will be there tomorrow and Sunday (they have been here for the Bacteriophage conference) and it looks like it will be at least part rain both days

5:21 pm

okay I am leaving, may be back later

5:21 pm

stidmama

later peri!

5:22 pm

EspritdJean

Bacteriophage conference . . . is that as creepy as it sounds?

5:23 pm

stidmama

actually, phage are really really cool. They "eat" bacteria and are used in many places to fight infections that antibiotics can't reach.

5:23 pm

EspritdJean

delightful

5:23 pm

stidmama

They can also be used to disinfect places like operating rooms non-toxically (to humans anyway) because as soon as they bacteria they eat are gone, they just disappear...

5:23 pm

EspritdJean

could they eat G.W. Bush?

5:24 pm

stidmama

though I am not a scientist, I just love reading the posters. I didn't get to hear any of the lectures this time, which was disappointing.

5:24 pm

stidmama

EspritdJean

yes maris dangerous

5:25 pm

stidmama

depends marisal .... are you on any type of surge suppressor? the problem isn't when the power goes out, but when there is a surge right before or as it goes.

5:26 pm

stidmama

I use a laptop, and just unplug from the wall when a thunderstorm appears...

5:26 pm

marisalsera

oh, so it's about having it plugged in?

5:27 pm

marisalsera

I have a latop too so i'll just use the battery...thanks stid!...have to go to laundy so I'll charge it up!...see yall later! :-)

5:27 pm

stidmama

It's about having it where a large amount of electricity can flow through the wires and literally melt the electronics inside it.

5:28 pm

marisalsera

ah, ok, got it! Thanks

6:30 pm

I am lonely too--kind of cranky today. I need to catch up on sleep tonight.

Scrabbler

Ahh, I tried everything but the sometimes vowel.

6:32 pm

Scrabbler

ep5 and 6?

6:32 pm

you pretty much can't get the right amount of points without the sometimes vowel on that cr...

6:32 pm

Yes, I looked at the points, but still struggled...well, I gave up actually.

if at first you don't succeed...

6:33 pm

Scrabbler

Are you done, hursh?

hurshy

no i have 9 left

6:33 pm

hurshy

i'm listless so far

6:33 pm

hurshy

but with no brits around, there's not much reason to continue that way

6:34 pm

Scrabbler

I turned to the list earlier, to make faster progress.

6:34 pm

hurshy

well, i found all but 36 pretty easily this morning, and then found 26 at work

6:35 pm

hurshy

i have found one since i got home (but i was one the phone for a long time)

6:35 pm

Like those hy words--I never noticed any possibility of them until I saw them on the list. I have been rather blind today.

Hi Jacula!

Jacula

Hi, Scrabbs.

the latter, and also that you guys keep me in a fighting spirit

"German teenagers' debut sex act interrupted by fire
Reuters - Friday, August 17 09:43 amBERLIN (Reuters) - A teenage couple having sex for the first time were interrupted when candles set fire to the girl's attic bedroom and forced them to flee naked from her parents' house, German daily Bild reported on Friday.

The girl had wanted to create a romantic atmosphere for the occasion. But when the room suddenly became engulfed with flames, they had to make a hasty escape.

The couple, both 18, were pictured naked in the paper among the burned wreckage of the attic. A charred teddy had survived but the fire wrecked the entire top floor of the house causing around 100,000 euros (68,000 pounds) worth of damage."

6:46 pm

Scrabbler

Down to 40 to go--the list sure makes me feel like a dope--so many words I never noticed earlier.

Hi Artlady

i find those commercials nausiating Hursh

7:55 pm

pam

I hate them. And, I resent that the founder, a self-proclaimed Christian, won't accept Gay/Lesbian entries as he says he doesn't know how that process works. He is unfamiliar. Jeepers... what is the difference, i ask...

7:55 pm

pam

Hi, lady

Hey Artlady!

7:55 pm

Jellen

Hi, artlady!

My current camrea cost me $90--sale price, and it's an Oregon Scientific. It has been just OK, so I am eager for a better one. I was sitting up on a hill, overlooking the lake, and the camera bounced down the hill and went plop in the lake. The good news is that the memory card is intact!

8:06 pm

Scrabbler

Doren is on the hpone with her son, and she had 3 to go, I think.

8:06 pm
