someone tell my cats that there's more to life than being really really incredibly good looking

1:50 am

hurshy

mitten knows about the first one, it's true, and marty knows about the second

1:51 am

hurshy

cinder knows the second one too i guess

1:51 am

but, i was just channeling zoolander, that's all.

1:52 am

rururocks

what starts the 8

1:52 am

dcseain

1:56 am

dcseain

what's Jackass?

1:56 am

hurshy

oh well the plane shooting st7s rhyme with not in danger

1:56 am

hurshy

just stick in more letters.

1:56 am

rururocks

dc have you been in a cave?

1:56 am

dcseain

well, i've not had TV in 3 years

1:56 am

rururocks

oh that splains it

1:56 am

hurshy

that is ironic. if you are the target of a st6, you are not ... not in danger.

1:57 am

hurshy

the 7's are person who and past tense.

1:57 am

dcseain

huh. that word i've never come across before

1:57 am

dcseain

2:01 am

rururocks

mine is primarily around yiddish words for villages and etc

2:01 am

rururocks

mine is primarily around yiddish words for villages and etc

2:01 am

rururocks

lol

2:01 am

dcseain

shtetels not part of your world then. :)

2:02 am

rururocks

yep... although I do know a few yiddish words.. I may not spell them correctly, but I know what they mean

2:03 am

dcseain

great-grandpa would speak western yiddish, but not german in the years i knew him. Apparently he stopped speaking German in 1938, when he left germany.

2:03 am

rururocks

with the whole misbutkah or by himself

2:04 am

dcseain

he and his sister only. the others all thought it would be all right. As it turned out, that was not the case for those who stayed.

2:04 am

rururocks

oh holy cow

2:05 am

dcseain

they were far from the only family of jews to die in those years. not to sound crass, just speaking truth.

2:06 am

dcseain

his sister moved to Tel Aviv in 1944. I suppose she may have descendents there. The stopped speaking when she moved, as he was vehemently anti-israel for reasons he never did express very clearly.

2:06 am

rururocks

I just saw the King of Scotland and I can't imagine the kind of people who can just kill and kill and kill innocent people... It boggles my mind..

2:07 am

dcseain

yeah. it's i'm glad to have grown up such that it's hard to comprehend. Were it not for great-grandpa, it might be totally foreign to me.

2:07 am

rururocks

that is a bit unusual dont' you think?

2:07 am

dcseain

what's that?

2:08 am

rururocks

being anti israel and being a jew?

2:10 am

dcseain

not as uncommon as you'd think, at least among secular, reform, and reconstructionist people. Part of his reasoning was 'why would i want to move to a desert that i and my ancesetors may never have lived in'.

2:10 am

dcseain

i'm not saying it's common, but it's not unheard of. My friend's parents - holocaust survivors - also are anti-israel.

2:11 am

dcseain

maybe it's a German thing of that generation. Don't know.

2:11 am

rururocks

could be

2:11 am

dcseain

there's another survivor who is cantor at my friend's temple. i'll ask her sometime if he's ever spoken about that.

2:13 am

pigeonman

Can someone clue the second to7?

2:13 am

dcseain

hot to7

2:14 am

rururocks

a hot drink

2:14 am

2:14 am

dcseain

2:21 am

bbnaz

It is a very graphic violent film but not gratuitous if that makes any sense.

2:21 am

dcseain

2:21 am

sprite

oh wow Fran, good luck! I was playing my move on our game in Scrabulous and then the servers went down :(

2:23 am

FranMag

i have to admire his determination, i've told him for 6 years that he can't sing and he still doesn't believe me.

2:23 am

sprite

I cannot handle violence, so I think I better let this one pass... sounds like a real shame to miss though.

2:23 am

dcseain

can't be worse to hear than my friend Crystal. What she lacks in talent, she makes up for in gusto and volume. so we all politiely ignore it, as she likes to sing.

2:24 am

FranMag

i guess we all know someone like that dc! :-)

2:24 am

sprite

poor Crystal... poor friends ;)

2:24 am

lynxxx

2:26 am

sprite

lol dc, that sounds almost hawaiian!

2:26 am

dcseain

*passes some vowels back at sprite*

2:26 am

sprite

and since then she is your 'former' boss, Fran?

2:26 am

sprite

2:26 am

FranMag

apparently, they knew her reputation, they turned her mic off and the lead singer sang from behind the speakers....

2:26 am

FranMag

she thought she did so well!

2:26 am

dcseain

yes, i suppose i could make a polynesian word of it.

2:27 am

dcseain

oh, what a smart band. what did she think of that, or did she notice.

2:27 am

sprite

omg... so now she thinks she can really sing, Fran!

2:27 am

FranMag

well, she always did sprite, that just reinforced it. :-)

2:28 am

sprite

did she ever find out?

2:28 am

FranMag

2:28 am

MVA

2:30 am

dcseain

FranMag

Hi Mari

2:49 am

sprite

is this a tough grid or am I blind to the obvious?

2:50 am

dcseain

some of both today, i think

2:50 am

lynxxx

Its easy when you get them Sprite - quite a number of 'silly' words - like tw6.39

2:50 am

dcseain

but for a very few today, at least 1 or 2 of the to7s have needed cluing.

2:50 am

sprite

I am not even totally halfway and already slowing down

2:50 am

sprite

yay, thanks for those pointers :)

2:51 am

dcseain

my first 106 went easily enough, the rest, not so much. i have 25 left now.

2:51 am

dcseain

i'm looking for re7 now.

2:51 am

sprite

ok, then I am being blind at least for a part, I need still a lot more than you!

2:52 am

dcseain

yes, but i started well befor you, and work slower :)

2:52 am

sprite

hehehe, funny how you guys always manage to make me feel better :D

2:52 am

lynxxx

do you want a clue DC?

2:53 am

dcseain

yes, pls, as it seems not to stem from the 5 before it. :)

2:53 am

lynxxx

I'll give u one anyway - starts with a re4 but has a totally different meaning

2:53 am

sprite

ohhhh that tw is a babblet! Double for the price of single, isn't it?

2:54 am

dcseain

yes, or bogo, as it's come to be called over here.

2:54 am

lynxxx

you always astound me Sprite with your understanding of english!

2:55 am

dcseain

lynxxx, when you grow up multilingual, it's easier.

2:55 am

sprite

I have a good memory for words that have driven me insane once, lynxxx, LOL! This one had me up the curtains for ages!

2:55 am

sprite

and dc is right

2:55 am

sprite

dc... bogo as in bothgo?

2:56 am

dcseain

buy one, get one [free]

2:56 am

dcseain

it's an acronym

2:56 am

sprite

even better, I love acronyms

2:56 am

sprite

thanks, dc :)

2:57 am

dcseain

2:57 am

dcseain

2:58 am

sprite

I like it

2:59 am

dcseain

2:59 am

sprite

and did I get it right that there are 2x to7?

2:59 am

dcseain

2:59 am

dcseain

one of which was obvious to nearly everyone

3:00 am

sprite

the sweets one, I bet

3:00 am

dcseain

3:00 am

sprite

my son is standing next to me and is trying to help find them

3:01 am

sprite

he says hello to you

3:01 am

dcseain

one, i'm confident he's not likely to know, though i know you do. And a hello back at him :)

3:02 am

lynxxx

If he can find the slimy creature, you could get another 7

3:03 am

lynxxx

(the slimy creature is to4)

3:03 am

sprite

he did! now for the 7

3:04 am

lynxxx

yay!!! its a creepy-type flatterer

3:05 am

sprite

he found one of them!

3:05 am

lynxxx

not so much a flatterer as flattery - sorry to mislead

3:05 am

sprite

and I found the last... and yes dc, I know that one, but he is not yet supposed to know!

3:06 am

sprite

playing with my son is fun! :D

3:06 am

dcseain

i was given them on occasion when sick from about the age of 6

3:07 am

lynxxx

he could probably find the re7.36 - same 'rules' as the to7

3:07 am

4:09 am

mrpresident

4:09 am

dcseain

yes bubble, that's right

4:10 am

sprite

it is, bubble. It ends in past tense of going over to the other side permanently

4:10 am

dcseain

so not unlike what we have here around DC then. Which means it's chilly there.

4:10 am

mrpresident

oh got the 8! thanks!

4:11 am

4:11 am

redturtlehead

Snow Marmar? yikes! Where are you?

4:12 am

bubblepop!

sorry i just cant get the 8

4:12 am

mrpresident

oh compounds are the first thing I see! that is cause I see 4 letter words first!

4:12 am

Marmar

Right in the middle of Germany, 70 north of Frankfurt.

4:13 am

dcseain

oh, bubble, my bad, st8 builds on st5/12 - do it in my st5

4:13 am

sprite

bubble: S + popular brits hot drink + past tense of pass away

4:13 am

mrpresident

if you were to fall, I would st***y you, and in the present tense, you would be not quite able to fall

4:13 am

Marmar

Last weekend the north coast got hammered with rain and had floods and the south had blizzards...very weird.

4:13 am

4:19 am

bubblepop!

4:19 am

Marmar

Yes DC, it's all so close but we hardly ever venture out anymore. Little kids around the house now, makes it harder to be impulsive

4:19 am

bubblepop!

4:19 am

dcseain

4:19 am

sprite

4:20 am

4:20 am

Marmar

Bye Bubble.

4:20 am

dcseain

i understand that marar, my sister and i planned for 2 weeks a weekend trip to Ohio for a family reunion -hers were 8yrs, and 17mos at the time.

4:20 am

sprite

bye bubble

4:21 am

dcseain

ciao, bubble

4:21 am

Marmar

did you make it happen?

4:21 am

redturtlehead

bye bubble

4:22 am

dcseain

the trip, yeah, no problem. i got off work, went to her place, we loaded up, she drove up, we had a great time on the farm; it was funny watching the 8yr old being afraid of the cows - i drove back. Nice visit.

4:22 am

sprite

how is daybreak coming on, redturtle?

4:22 am

Marmar

My husband and I are getting away in a couple weeks to Cologne for a night at the opera and their famous Christmas Market! It's so beautiful.

4:22 am

sprite

sounds very good, dc!

4:23 am

dcseain

that's stilly ~90 min away here on the east coast, sprite.

4:23 am

redturtlehead

Not. I should have slept later, but...I have about an hour. I would go now but my logic is telling me running in the dark is stupid.

4:23 am

dcseain

oh, enjoy, maramar, i've heard that koln is beautiful.

4:23 am

dcseain

which opera?

4:23 am

sprite

oh, wonderful, Marmar! So good to be away together for once too!

4:24 am

Marmar

Nabucco by Giuseppe Verdi.

4:24 am

dcseain

running in total dark can be quite dangerous, depending on the roads.

4:24 am

redturtlehead

How is the Christmas Market? I saw a programme about it on our travel channel...I think the warm drinks looked like the best part

4:24 am

sprite

sounds realistic to me, redturtle... and enough fun things to do while waiting for dawn!

4:24 am

dcseain

oh, lovely! that's rarely produced here, but i do love Verdi

4:24 am

redturtlehead

I was more thinking about who I might run into.

4:24 am

sprite

I cannot get the hang of opera, but I love Verdi.

4:24 am

dcseain

well, yes, that too.

4:24 am

sprite

the roads and the people on it, yes. Or next to it :)

4:25 am

dcseain

and safety first, always!

4:25 am

redturtlehead

I've taken the dog out, he's 78 pounds so I worry less with him, but I do worry about the random people...

4:26 am

redturtlehead

dc are you on night shift?

4:26 am

sprite

so indeed, better to wait for first light and enjoy your run better!

4:26 am

dcseain

yes, red, i work 19-7 the days i work.

4:27 am

redturtlehead

Myself as well, but babble is banned at work!

4:27 am

sprite

too bad!

4:27 am

Marmar

I've never heard this opera so I am really looking forward to it. As for the market...it's dreamy. There are really several. One at the foot of the gorgeous cathedral, one in the old city center, a few others too. That hot drink for some people is what it's all about: Gluhwein! Very delicous and makes you feel very warm and happy!

4:27 am

dcseain

here, it's not. which pleases me immensly. this chat is what gets me through the nights.

4:28 am

dcseain

Gluhvein is good stuff. :)

4:28 am

redturtlehead

Marmar that sounds so lovely! And Christmassy! I love a snowy cold Christmas.

4:28 am

sprite

gluhwein is among the best things when it is really cold! Even when it is just chilly, actually :D

4:28 am

dcseain

Gluhwein. I must be tired, my spelling is failing

4:28 am

Marmar

Me too. I was just remembering when I used to get up and go running at sunrise...ah..the old days!

4:29 am

sprite

you are tired, dc, but perfectly comprehensible still.

4:29 am

redturtlehead

DC that is great. if work were busier now, i wouldn't care, but last night I sat for 6 hours straight, saw 4 patients. and I had finished my book!

4:29 am

sprite

comprihensible? ah well...

4:29 am

dcseain

i know, but it annoys me when i spell poorly. 'comprehensible' i believe.

4:29 am

sprite

that sounds like boredom at the max, redturtle :(

4:30 am

dcseain

oh, you a nurse, red?

4:30 am

redturtlehead

yes, but the money is good for the moment...

4:30 am

redturtlehead

and yes. nurse.

4:30 am

sprite

yeah, with an E. I should not correct myself, usually first go is good.

4:31 am

sprite

better bring 2 books next time, lol... and a sudoku booklet maybe... or even a gameboy ;)

4:31 am

dcseain

i'm going to guess in ER or Radiology or such, as you had such a lull?

4:31 am

redturtlehead

ER...and I'm on contract, small hospital on the coast...its winter...

4:32 am

redturtlehead

I definitely need to get some more books...

4:32 am

dcseain

yeah, i've friend who does agency work, it's amazing how loads differ from hospital to hospital, even in a large area like this one.

4:33 am

redturtlehead

DC you said DOD lets you use gmail....why gamil and not the others?

4:33 am

Marmar

Red, do you do any handwork like knitting?

4:33 am

redturtlehead

Marmar, I am not very creative...so nothing there...

4:33 am

dcseain

dunno, that was thase when i was there...3 years ago. may have changed since then.

4:33 am

redturtlehead

ahhh...

4:34 am

redturtlehead

I just thought that was a little unusual!

4:34 am

sprite

didn't you say something like it was the only one allowing https, dc?

4:34 am

dcseain

it was. but SDDC was like that. yes ,sprite, that's right.

4:34 am

Marmar

Woops, I have to run to the copy center to get some stuff for the christmas play ready. Bye friends!

4:35 am

sprite

4:35 am

dcseain

4:39 am

dcseain

do you have all the 7s?

4:39 am

sprite

no, I have 6 so far

4:39 am

dcseain

there were some weird words in this one, like the ST6/24-7/40 combo.

4:40 am

sprite

I bet I am still missing S7s, I have only 3 so far

4:40 am

sprite

lolll indeed, that one is definitely missing in action still!

4:40 am

dcseain

and the st6/27-7/44 combo, which word i'd never encountered before.

4:40 am

redturtlehead

i have 66 left, which is good for me.

4:40 am

sprite

wow redturtle, good going!

4:41 am

redturtlehead

dc...that one was an automatic for me, my Grandpa was a WWII pilot....

4:41 am

sprite

no, that last combo I already have.

4:41 am

dcseain

my grandparents were navy and marines, one great-grandpa was infantry in both wars.

4:42 am

redturtlehead

not too much ground *******ing going on in the ocean...

4:43 am

dcseain

that's familiar, is it from a song?

4:43 am

redturtlehead

Hmmmm.

4:43 am

redturtlehead

I dunno

4:43 am

sprite

ah, got the 6-7-7 combo, thanks

4:44 am

dcseain

4:44 am

sprite

4:44 am

dcseain

4:49 am

sprite

thanks dc!

4:50 am

redturtlehead

I think i have to run fast to stay warm, yikes.

4:50 am

dcseain

my roomie's dog likes the cold too. Hence, i walk him in the winter some, as i don't chill as easily as roomie does, and nothing makes Duke happier than bounding through snow and cold.

4:50 am

redturtlehead

you can come and walk my dog!!!!

4:50 am

dcseain

maybe this year, we'll get some snow.

4:50 am

sprite

lovely, dc! I see the two of you go out!

4:51 am

redturtlehead

I'm trying to get a contract out west though, so he can roll in snow...

4:52 am

dcseain

there's good opportunities in CO right now, i'm told, and possibly around Buffalo, lots of snow Cliveland-Buffalo

4:53 am

dcseain

Ft collins area of CO has had snow for nearly a month now.

4:53 am

redturtlehead

Co is good, and NM...What field are you in?

4:53 am

redturtlehead

I hate the cold though....But I want to train at higher elevation...

4:54 am

dcseain

i work technical helpdesk, but very close friend of mine is a nurse who's been shopping around.

4:54 am

dcseain

Laz Vegas and Santa Fe offer not too cold and elevation

4:55 am

redturtlehead

Yes, I am looking at a hosp about 25 miles from Santa Fe, interviewed yesterday but we will see. the NM was a little flustered, didn't offer right off, soooo...

4:55 am

dcseain

yeah, that doesn't bode too well.

4:56 am

dcseain

what about SLC or Provo?

4:56 am

redturtlehead

my pirate description...quote Even though there's no legal rank on a pirate ship, everyone recognizes you're the one in charge. Even though you're not always the traditional swaggering gallant, your steadiness and planning make you a fine, reliable pirate. Arr!

6:38 pm

Scrabbler

I am back. Time to tackle the "st" words.

6:38 pm

Scarlet

Yes, it would... but when your friends are sick, it is only "polite" to have a sympathetic symptom or two to share the misery! :-)\

6:38 pm

saphyre

congrats

6:38 pm

Jacula

joanne - that's the monosodium glutamate in it. Never mind, you'll be hungry again in about an hour. LOL.

6:38 pm

6:39 pm

Hi, Scrabbs. Have a good stab at them (no that's not one of them). st6 & the 2 following 7s are to do with air to ground missile fire (think WW2).

6:40 pm

Scrabbler

That clue fired right over my head, Jacula.

6:40 pm

carleekat

6:42 pm

Jacula

Scrabbs - think of an 's' word that's the opposite of 'dangerous' (or aplace to keep your valuables) then add the 't' in the appropriate place followed by another consonant.

6:42 pm

saphyre

hi joanne :)

6:42 pm

6:45 pm

Scarlet

6:51 pm

saphyre

6:52 pm

phandmd

6:52 pm

Jacula

3 of the w's were weird to me. Not that it stopped me finding them. LOL

6:52 pm

Jacula

carlee - wo4 is the blue paint old warriors wore.

6:52 pm

Scrabbler

How was the weather, phandmd?

6:52 pm

Scarlet

That one I remember, kat... and the spelling on the wa6/36 and 7/52, I assume are alternates to the wa4/(

6:52 pm

Scarlet

4/9

6:52 pm

carleekat

6:53 pm

carleekat

6:53 pm

Scrabbler

10 left, all RE's...argh!

6:53 pm

Scarlet

I knew that YOU would know, kat... you'd have to know. It's a natural.

6:53 pm

Jacula

wo4 is what Mel Gibson has on his face in his role of William Wallace.

Braveheart--I loved that movie!

6:54 pm

sassyB

i thought that was just a sexy smile, jacula

6:54 pm

Jacula

The re's aren't too bad, Scrabbs.

6:54 pm

Jacula

LOL, sassy.

6:54 pm

Scarlet

It's one of my top five all-time favorite movies, too.

6:55 pm

sassyB

wofe

6:55 pm

Scrabbler

Gladiator, Braveheart, The Patriot....inspiring movies that are among my favorites.

6:55 pm

phandmd

no, sory

6:55 pm

sassyB

sorry, i was trying to get it and typed in the wrong spot!!

6:55 pm

Scrabbler

Sassy, are you a dog?

6:55 pm

Jacula

What's the betting that the favourite scene for you all from Braveheart was the mass 'mooning' scene? LOL

6:56 pm

Scarlet

I love the Godfather trilogy, Apocalypse Now and Braveheart...

6:56 pm

sassyB

actually sassy was the name of my cat!!

6:56 pm

phandmd

most def

6:57 pm

Scrabbler

Oh, it looked like you woofed there, Sassy, LOL

6:57 pm

Scarlet

No, Jacula... it was the moment that William revealed the thistle stitching given to him by his lady love... and dropped from his hand upon death...

6:57 pm

Jacula

One of the most boring films I ever sat through was Brad Pitt in 'Troy'. Gawd! They spend longer philosophising about the battles than fighting them!

6:57 pm

sassyB

at least the mooning scene cleared up the question of what they wear under their kilts

6:57 pm

Scrabbler

Yes, Jac. And the end, when WW rides across the field, on the horse, holding the flag to rile up the Scots

6:57 pm

Scarlet

That was awful, I agree, Jacula... and so stupid to boot!

6:58 pm

Scarlet

How about the crazy Irishman... a perfect role!

6:58 pm

Scrabbler

I never watched that one (Troy).

6:58 pm

Scarlet

LOl, sassy... I had never given it much thought!

6:59 pm

Scarlet

Daughter and I saw Lions for Lambs this afternoon, and I thought I was back in the 60s... the more we change the more we stay the same.

6:59 pm

Jacula

sassy - I bet it nearly killed all the actors and extras to take their thermal undies off for that shot. *grins* It's verra cauld i' Scotland.

6:59 pm

Scrabbler

4 re's left

6:59 pm

Scarlet

LOL

6:59 pm

Jacula

Scrabbs - Don't bother! (Re 'Troy'.)

7:00 pm

Scarlet

Save your mind, Scrabbler... it's a waste.

7:00 pm

phandmd

but do finish the re's!

7:00 pm

Scrabbler

Brad and Orlando don't do anything for me

7:00 pm

Jacula

Me, neither, Scrabbs.

7:00 pm

sassyB

but so worh it, jacula. great scene

7:01 pm

phandmd

I think orlando is at his best as a blonde elf!

7:01 pm

Scarlet

Orlando was beautiful in Return of the King... lovely pointed ears and blond hair... speaking Elvish...

7:01 pm

Scrabbler

Russell Crowe is my gladiator however

7:01 pm

Scarlet

I hear that the 3:10 to Yuma is fairly good, Scrabbler...

7:01 pm

Scrabbler

I loved Legolas (blond, soft-spoken Orlando)

7:01 pm

sassyB

however, i am still stuck on the wo4

7:02 pm

phandmd

another word for street pronounced funny

7:02 pm

Jacula

sassy - the film wasn't exactly historically correct (there was the odd wristwatch and plane on show, too) but neither is the TV series 'The Tudors'. However, if you watch both as entertainment rather than true history they're good.

7:02 pm

Scarlet

WO + short word for a printed commercial...

7:02 pm

Scrabbler

Elmer Fudd: not the high wo4 but the low wo4

7:02 pm

Jacula

phan just said a WORD!

7:02 pm

Scarlet

LOL, Scrabbler.

7:02 pm

QuestionMark

how would elmer fudd pronounce road

7:02 pm

sassyB

thanks, phandmd, that made me chuckle, and i got it!!

7:03 pm

Scarlet

*gasp*

7:03 pm

phandmd

oh dear! I told you my brain was fried!

7:03 pm

sassyB

you guys are fun!!

7:03 pm

Scarlet

Good night, all. Thank you for the help, Jacula!

7:03 pm

phandmd

are you done Scarlet?

7:04 pm

Jacula

Fried brains? Anyone got any chianti? LOL *Hannibal Lecter noise*

7:04 pm

Jacula

'Night, red.

7:04 pm

7:05 pm

Yes, phan... and it's off to a good football game on the television!

7:05 pm

phandmd

7:05 pm

Scrabbler

OK, two re's left, the re5/14 and re 7/36--are they weird? No obvious clues please.

7:05 pm

phandmd

woot, Cheeky

7:05 pm

Jacula

Sorry, phan! My ex MIL used to eat sheep's brains. I'm sure she deliberately used to have them on the day I visited with the kids because she knew it grossed me out to see them sitting there soaking in a pyrex bowl. YUK!

7:06 pm

Scrabbler

**barfing sounds**

7:06 pm

phandmd

Gotta love a woman with a devilsh sense of humour

7:06 pm

Scrabbler

7:06 pm

Scrabbler

OK, I got the re7

7:06 pm

phandmd

woot!

7:06 pm

Jacula

re5/14 = to plus again. re7/36 = girded ones loins for whatever?

7:07 pm

Jacula

Obscure enought for you, Scrabbs?

7:08 pm

Jacula

Oh dear! Scrabbs must have her head down the loo.:(

7:09 pm

Jacula

I'd better not mention the rabbit pies my grandmother used to make in the War. No... I'll make myself barf, too.

7:09 pm

phandmd

I think I am going to go to bed. It is only 8 pm, but I think I need it

7:10 pm

Scrabbler

Despite recurrent wretching, I managed to finish.

7:10 pm

Well done, Scrabbs!

I see the theme for Sunday 18th Nov (today here in UK) is 'tree leaves'. Hmm! Getting rather fed up of sweeping those up. I've even followed the damned things down the pavement (sidewalk) and watched 'em turn the corner to end up in my front garden. No kidding!

7:26 pm

Jacula

BJ's list is a Babblers Anonymous under 'General' (see green links below left, 4th down in 2nd column.

7:27 pm

I think I'll change mine to a birthday cake.

Oh! Many happies!

One year younger than me then, or thereabouts. 'Big' birthday for you next year.

7:29 pm

doxy1lover

49 tomorrow

7:29 pm

Jacula

I spent my big 'something -0' in Amsterdam.

7:30 pm

Jacula

Other half is will reach his big 4-0 in 2009. I'm planning to take him to Paris for that.

7:31 pm

doxy1lover

I'm just glad I'm not working tomorrow. with my new job, I don't have to work weekends. I will have to take call occasionally, but that's just carrying a phone with me everywhere

7:31 pm

Jacula

My big 4-0 was spent with my kids on a day trip to Iceland (the country, not the frozen food store).

7:32 pm

doxy1lover

it sounds like you get to travel a lot jac. I would love to travel more.

7:32 pm

doxy1lover

I am planning to come over to your continent in about 2 years.

7:34 pm

Jacula

doxy - just reading your profile and seeing about your 'dash' I realised I have 'lost' a card I bought for a friend today. It has a rought and a smooth-haired dachshund on it and said something like, 'Life! You take the rough with the smooth.' I know I didn't leave it in the shop. It must be in one of the bags somewhere.

7:34 pm

Jacula

I was looking at your profile to see if it said what your new job is, btw.

7:34 pm

doxy1lover

that is so neat jac.

7:34 pm

Jacula

I don't travel that much, doxy.

7:34 pm

doxy1lover

I'll have to add that. I am now a hospice nurse.

7:35 pm

doxy1lover

I went from delivering babies to aiding in the comfort of those leaving life.

7:36 pm

Jacula

That sounds like a very natural and kindly progression, doxy.

7:36 pm

Jacula

And, though the end is sad, hospices are not completely joyless places.

7:36 pm

doxy1lover

I started orienting on Monday, and have my first patient already. I get about 5 more on Monday. I am really excited about this job.

7:38 pm

doxy1lover

I will be doing a lot of in-home hospice, with some nursing home's also.

7:46 pm

doxy1lover

7:46 pm

lilliann

i read that you use to deliver babies, that must have been a nice job, but sad at times aswell

7:47 pm

doxy1lover

I got burned out. decided to take my career in a different direction.

7:48 pm

lilliann

it was ok doxy. i went to a working mans club that we go to every saturday as they have live music on, but it wasn't that good, but i was out with friends so it was nice in that respect

7:49 pm

doxy1lover

it's always nice to be with friends.

7:51 pm

i can understand that,before i became disabled and unable to work, i worked in psychiatric hospitals, care homes and with people with special needs and severe behavioural problems and i could only work at each place for a couple of years at a time as it is hard and you run out of steam,but i enjoyed my job and miss it very much now i can't do it.

7:55 pm

lilliann

i agree stid.after i had written it i thought it wasn't right as i've had people say horrible things about people i have cared about and me since becoming disabled, but it just shows how small minded they are!

9:04 pm

Jacula

Hi, MrP. How's the arm today?

9:04 pm

angel13136

hi mrP

9:04 pm

renfield

hey mrp!!!

9:05 pm

Jacula

angel - Gawd! Why on earth did you say that?

9:06 pm

angel13136

well, in context it wasn't so bad...we were joking around with his sister.

9:06 pm

lbdawger

Hi Mrp

9:06 pm

Jacula

In what context?

9:06 pm

mrpresident

hi fiz, jac, angel, ren et al :)
Arm is sore and sorry. But, lunch is nearly on so food will fill my void :}

9:07 pm

mrpresident

hi dawg! :))

9:07 pm

pam

hi, MRP

9:07 pm

Jacula

Not getting at you, angel, I'm just flabbergasted and want to know...

9:07 pm

mrpresident

hi pam! :))

9:07 pm

Jacula

MRP! (Stern expression on face) What have you been doing with/to the arm?

9:07 pm

angel13136

I believe she was complaining about having a little brother, and we made a joke about what happened to "the first one". After that it became a family joke.

9:08 pm

mrpresident

just preparing my house for sale :D... nothing major! nearly broke the arm twice over since

9:08 pm

angel13136

I assumed her brother knew we were joking, until the day he asked me about it.

9:08 pm

Jacula

Oh, okay, angel.

9:09 pm

Jacula

Kids tak things literally, but I guess you know that now.

9:09 pm

mrpresident

angel, kids are weirdos... you know, they don't know much? If I told them that I have been lying about santa and the easter bunny, they would laugh in my face!

9:09 pm

angel13136

yes, I do, and him more than most.

9:09 pm

angel13136

lol, mrP

9:10 pm

Jacula

MrP - I've seen the house sale site. It must be hard trying to live in a house, especially with kids, and try to keep it all 'Homes & Gardens' looking.

9:10 pm

mrpresident

oh, a home & garden look??? that IS a compliment!

9:11 pm

Jacula

My daughter once sleep waked onto a swivel chair when staying at my parents' house, from that she fell onto the edge of a chest of drawers and ripped a right-angled hole into her skull just above her left eye. I can still see the scar clearly as she sits here now.

9:12 pm

TheFiz

wow mrp! that's lurvely!

9:12 pm

renfield

mrp - where are you guys moving?

9:12 pm

mrpresident

let's just say, they don't have any toys anymore. Or food in the cupboard, or plates to eat off... LOL! we are bare boned!

9:12 pm

angel13136

Jac! How scary that must have been.

9:12 pm

TheFiz

yikes jac! that sounds scary!

9:14 pm

mrpresident

ren, no idea! Will move into your attic if you have room?

9:15 pm

mrpresident

and if you live in tornedo alley, a basement would do nicely

9:15 pm

Jacula

Anyway, point of typing all that was to say that when we finally got to see someone at the hospital with her, after some doc had poked his finger into the hole, making blood spurt everywhere, our daughter scream with pain and fear, and me want to kill him on the spot, they then decided an x-ray would be in order... 'We're just going to take a look inside your head,' a nurse said to her. As soon as the words wer out of her mouth I KNEW waht my daughter would think. As she shot upright on the table and screamed, I rushed over and told her,'They don't mean they're going to take the top of your head off! They've got a special camera that can look inside without opening anything'.

9:15 pm

TheFiz

mrp we've got a spacious attic. but you probably can't make it up the ladder with a bad arm. maybe the kids in the attic, and you in the spare room?

9:15 pm

renfield

you're always welcome here mrp!

9:16 pm

TheFiz

rofl jacs! i'm sure it wasn't funny at the time but you get a great story out of it.

9:16 pm

mrpresident

I won't forget Maddie taking a face dive into the A/C unit... she has a permanent smile now with the scar on her lip/nose line

9:17 pm

Jacula

MrP - There's nothing more scarey than our children hurting themselves, is there?

9:18 pm

Jacula

Re Homes and Gardens comment, yes, I meant it. Hard to live like that though! Can't of5/22 you accommodation as I'm too far away.

9:18 pm

mrpresident

luckily, it is very very hidden cause the best plastics surgeon was on emergency duty that day... thank goodness

9:19 pm

angel13136

Oh, Jacs! That's worse than eating your other brother!

9:19 pm

mrpresident

He actually stitched her up with tiny eeny weeny stitches on the outside, and big nasty ghastly stitches on the inside.

9:19 pm

tygerbryght

hey, peeps

9:20 pm

Jacula

Incidentally, when my daughter took that dive my parents were sleeping. Their Bearded Collie, Lucy, alerted my Mum to the problem. Beardies are known for herding and nursing everything from sheep to children. Lucy was always very diligent about my children.

9:20 pm

mrpresident

almost bloody impossible to live in a home&garden house. We don't even eat in the house anymore! LOL

9:20 pm

TheFiz

i have a scar like that mrp. same thing - could have been a horrifically ugly thing except for who was on duty. it only shows a little when i make certain faces :)

9:20 pm

angel13136

The younger angel has a scar right in the middle of her forehead from falling down when she was 3. I chickened out of being there for stitches; her dad had to handle that. Thankfully, Harry Potter has made having a vertical gash in the middle of your forehead cool...

9:21 pm

mrpresident

That is excellent luck Fiz! It makes a huge difference who the doc is

9:21 pm

tygerbryght

can I get a clue on the 2nd te6/18 (not the one about playground equipment)

9:21 pm

mrpresident

oh, I have one of those angel!

9:22 pm

dcseain

tiger, te5 firma that knows the value of discretion

9:22 pm

TheFiz

not there yet tyger...sorry!

9:23 pm

Jacula

Son's got a scar right in the middle of his forehead from me dabbing at chicken pox scab with cotton wool and warm water. Whole thing came out like a plug! Left a hole! Well, I couldn't really shove it back in, could I?

9:23 pm

tygerbryght

dc, I get the first part, but not the rest :(

9:23 pm

lilliann

i have a permanent bump on my head where i fell over so many times when i was younger and a young doctor accused my mam of child abuse

9:23 pm

tygerbryght

you guys are so right about scars & stitches. I recall that there was a *teenager* who had a hysterectomy a day or two after mine. I had a nearly invisible scar, on the "bikini line" she had a big ugly one that looked like somebody grabbed a big handful of flesh and twisted it - and it froze that way

9:23 pm

dcseain

if one knows value of discretion, one is discr---

9:24 pm

mrpresident

right between the eyes! had to get it 'adjusted' this year cause as I am getting older, the scar stretched and opened up more, it is right between a group of muscles.

9:25 pm

Jacula

Bumps, lumps, scars, stretch marks and all the rest are the testaments to our lives. Unless you spend your waking time wrapped in cottonwool, you will bear scars, both physical and emotional.

9:25 pm

TheFiz

oh, tyger. so sad for so many reasons.

9:26 pm

tygerbryght

right, Fiz. When I saw her scar, I wanted to cry

9:26 pm

raelite

hello everybody :)

9:26 pm

dcseain

hi, rae

9:27 pm

lilliann

hi rae

9:27 pm

angel13136

9:27 pm

renfield

9:27 pm

mrpresident

I will get a pick of the one on my arm, then get you all to 'tell a story' that would have other's believing! Would love to see who comes up with a beauty !

9:27 pm

TheFiz

hi rae!

9:27 pm

mrpresident

hi raelite :))

9:27 pm

tygerbryght

DC, I've tried a bunch of combos, to get down to 6 letters, and none of them works :(

9:27 pm

mrpresident

that should say pic, not pick

9:27 pm

lilliann

right, i'm too tired to finish, and am going to bed.goodnight all and take care

9:27 pm

tygerbryght

hey, rae :)

9:27 pm

raelite

hi all you guys :D

9:27 pm

dcseain

tyger, did you piece together the te6/18?

9:27 pm

raelite

TheFiz

goodnight lilli. sleep well!

9:29 pm

dcseain

9:29 pm

lilliann

bye everyone{poof}

9:29 pm

JenMiller

did u get the t6/ 36

9:29 pm

Jacula

Hang on.. so many clueing the end of the te6/18 word that way that I must make the distinction between the meanings of discree* and dis**** (Greek island). Firsst means 'capable of keeping one's one counsel' i.e keeping your mouth shut) and the other means 'separate or distinct from'.

9:30 pm

dcseain

spelling diff, yes, forgot about that.

9:30 pm

raelite

are there any sz words?

9:30 pm

dcseain

my brain doesn't diff homonyms very well

9:30 pm

dcseain

no, rae

9:31 pm

raelite

thank goodness!

9:31 pm

tygerbryght

finally got it, but you confused me with that consonant on the end :P

9:31 pm

dcseain

:">

9:32 pm

tygerbryght

now I gotta paste them into the Expert's iteration of Lickety's page, so it can transfer 'em

Probably, tyger - I looked it up in Oxford dictionary and then came back to type it.

9:40 pm

Jacula

Ren - you know full well what line it is.

9:41 pm

tygerbryght

one of my fav SF short story writers (now dead many years) used it as the title of one story, IIRC

9:42 pm

tygerbryght

um, jac, are you brushing that kitty's tooths, or is there something s/he thinks is yummy on it?

9:43 pm

tygerbryght

(or should that be toofs, or teefs?)

9:43 pm

renfield

not "let the sun shine in? "no mistress no!!! don't do it!!!

9:43 pm

Jacula

tyger - It's a pic I got off the net. I'd never attempt such a fe4/7 with my kitty!

The poor woman behind the counter almost bust a gut trying not to laugh, especially when I went on to say that is my Mrs. Malaprop Gran was alive now, that was what she woud have said.

9:50 pm

jillibus

Well, if you can catch this show and would like a great laugh...darn, it just ended!

mrpresident

10:00 pm

renfield

10:00 pm

tygerbryght

10:00 pm

dcseain

10:00 pm

jillibus

That hilarious Nat Geo show I was enjoying was on our BC equivalent of PBS, the Knowledge Network. We are SO lucky to have it.

10:00 pm

mrpresident

mrpresident

I agree dcs, it is a good game! but not for an 8 year old boy who takes life literally!!

10:02 pm

tygerbryght

nope, jac, not with me. for the dry skin, I'd try taking flaxseed oil

10:02 pm

dcseain

fe5/26, sort of like what you do to milk to make ice cream

10:02 pm

tygerbryght

I've uploaded a new one twice, and 2nd time, I refreshed until it showed the new image

10:02 pm

dcseain

10:02 pm

bbnaz

mrp! how the heck are you?

Jacula

tyger - you sounded just like Alex Harvey then when you said, 'Next?'

10:03 pm

dcseain

Guitar Hero is fun

10:03 pm

flaxseed seems to help my skin, jac... plus, better moisturizer.

10:03 pm

tygerbryght

LOL

10:03 pm

Cathyar

mrpresident

Guitar Hero is a game using guitar-like controllers, where you play along with what's on the screen. DDR with Guitars, basically.

rennie - flax seed just doesn't hang around long. high fiber.

10:04 pm

tygerbryght

fiz, your guess is as good as anybody's. weird word

10:05 pm

dcseain

flax seed also best veggie source of omega fatty acids.

10:05 pm

TheFiz

fe5/26: 1. a state of vexation or worry.
2. a violent rush or impact.

10:06 pm

TheFiz

i think i may have to work it into daily conversation.

10:06 pm

lbdawger

fe5 means a violent rush or impact

10:06 pm

tygerbryght

10:06 pm

10:08 pm

dcseain

10:08 pm

10:08 pm

rururocks

ooooooooooh

10:08 pm

Jacula

Listening again, no, I still don't like them.

10:09 pm

jillibus

Jac, maybe because I've had various surgeries and pills my estrogen is shut off somewhat?

10:09 pm

tygerbryght

LOL, jac. why subject yourself to listening, then?

10:09 pm

tygerbryght

have you seen your doctor, MrP?

10:09 pm

Jacula

jilli - Mum has a friend who's 81 and she still has night sweats.

10:10 pm

tygerbryght

ooh, forgot you'd had the injury

10:10 pm

dcseain

mrp, have you tried meditation, message, and physical therapy to better integrate it, or is this a normal part of the healing?

10:10 pm

renfield

mrp - don't point that arm at me! *ducks....

10:10 pm

jillibus

Mrp -- what a weird experience! But how's the pain?

10:10 pm

dcseain

i work that night, leave for a convention on Friday morning, and am having thanksgiving dinner in a restaurant in Timonium, MD on Friday. :) You ,tyger?

10:51 pm

tygerbryght

I went out earlier looking for an UNbasted turkey breast (will be just 2 of us - my son & I, and neither of us needs the extra sodium)

10:51 pm

jesdraggon

timonium? that sounds like something radioactive ;)

10:51 pm

tygerbryght

dare say the name's Latin :)

10:51 pm

angel13136

any luck, tyger -- seems they all are basted these days.

10:52 pm

tygerbryght

not so far, but I haven't given up yet. even fresh had 3%

10:52 pm

dcseain

Timonium is just south of Cockeysville and Hunt Valley, right where I-83 hits the Baltimore Beltway. PRobably latin.

10:53 pm

tygerbryght

and they wanted $3/pound for it

10:53 pm

jesdraggon

es7,28 clue please?

10:53 pm

sounds like the meerkat in lion king's residence

10:53 pm

dcseain

es + sweet tr5

10:53 pm

jesdraggon

thanks dc

10:53 pm

lbdawger

es+ trick or *****

10:53 pm

dcseain

tyger, is there a natural food store near you? They may have unbasted.

10:54 pm

tygerbryght

es + what you give a dog who just obeyed a command

10:54 pm

angel13136

so hard to find the good stuff - maybe orgasm - I mean, organix?

10:54 pm

Cathyar

st6/27 and st7....after what u do when u drive a car?

10:54 pm

lbdawger

a pat on the head?

10:54 pm

tygerbryght

no, DC. I live in the boonies, so to speak - nearest big city is New Orleans, ~200 miles away

10:55 pm

tygerbryght

no, dawg, you give it a ***** (goodie)

10:55 pm

lbdawger

add an extra vowel to the crocodile hunter's first name

10:55 pm

dcseain

maybe soak the breast like you would a VA Ham?

10:55 pm

Cathyar

ooh...just monkeyed those st's (6 and 7)

10:55 pm

tygerbryght

don't think so, DC

10:55 pm

tygerbryght

did you do it from your fighter jet, cath?

10:56 pm

tygerbryght

DC, it's not a ton of salt, but soaking it in water would be bad for flavor

10:56 pm

angel13136

wa6, 48?

10:57 pm
