Heya seain! You're up late. You're not still sick are you??

12:08 am

jillibus

dc, I was given a recipe for cough loosening by a pharmacist today (a kiwi, I think, from her accent) -- I'm still coughing after a month. Take one onion and slice it into rings. Cover it with runny honey and let it sit for about 5 hours until the honey is watery. Then take a tablespoon of the liquid four or five times a day as long as necessary. She said it's better than any of the stuff sold in the drugstore -- doesn't aste weird and doesn't leave you breathing onion on people. We'll see!

12:09 am

moonwoof

gowads jilli. That sounds awful. I hope she was right about the taste.

12:09 am

VolleymomDee

wow hope it works jili

12:09 am

ursh

Morning all - jilli I have heard of that recipe but using sugar - honey sounds like a better option - let us know if it works

12:09 am

jillibus

She said it's an ayurevedic (sp?) medicine.

12:09 am

dcseain

thx, jilli, i'll give it a go; i have tons of honey, and ample quantities of onion

12:09 am

flosey

sounds something like my grandmother use to make jilli

12:10 am

moonwoof

Morning ursh

12:10 am

SamanthaJoy

Speaking for all B-Movie lovers everywhere, "Mothra" is TOO a word

12:10 am

dcseain

and the honey isa good preservative for the onion

12:10 am

dcseain

alas, a proper noun; i tried mothra too

12:10 am

moonwoof

I agree sam. It really should be. Just like vader

12:11 am

And Mithras, for that matter, but only for the real geeks among us :)

12:16 am

SamanthaJoy

hee hee

12:16 am

SamanthaJoy

Being too old is a state of body. Needing to grow up is a state of mind.

12:17 am

moonwoof

Old age is all in your mind.

12:17 am

12:29 am

dcseain

better now that the worst of the flu is past, ruru; going to work and school this week.

12:30 am

dcseain

not legally, jes?

12:30 am

dcseain

how are you, ruru?

12:30 am

herinfernallady

I seem to have drunk close to 2 litres of coffee today

12:30 am

jesdraggon

euthanatize humans--i can't do so legally

12:30 am

dcseain

pity, that, jes. we treat our pets so much better at end of life. Sigh. I'm a big supporter of right to die.

12:30 am

rururocks

ew.. I have managed to avoid the flu.. lots of friends going down for the count though

12:30 am

jillibus

hi andree, ruru, snags, sam, jes, erda and everyone I've missed

12:31 am

dcseain

strain B was not in this year's vaccine, it's the one i got. :)

12:31 am

rururocks

hola jilli

12:31 am

SamanthaJoy

I rarely get vaccinated.

12:31 am

jesdraggon

i've never had a flu vaccine

12:32 am

dcseain

i didn't this year, samantha, so it's just a coincidence i got teh strain not in the vaccine

12:32 am

herinfernallady

DC we were talking about the idiot person that wanted to destroy a pet cause it was black and Jess didn't but i also agree with that

12:32 am

SamanthaJoy

I had them when I was younger, like--a child--but now I feel guilty. I am not in a vulnerable group, I don't see a reason to do it

12:32 am

dcseain

oh, heavens, yes, lady, i do agree, missed that bit of the thread.

12:33 am

dcseain

my mom's vet boards pets that are healthy and places them with his other customers.

12:33 am

herinfernallady

Yep. My damn head hurts cause i smacked it on the stairs

12:33 am

Andree

i never get a vaccine, supposed to at my age but don't want to anytime soon

12:33 am

dcseain

he's kept mom in cats for many years now :)

12:33 am

dcseain

ouch lady, hopefully not concussed.

12:34 am

jillibus

I'm fighting with myself about letting my dear old cat go to sleep at nearly 19 -- but she's still eating and purring but sometimes falling over, and losing weight -- it's hard...

12:34 am

herinfernallady

No just hurt and annoying and snotty due to dust which i have to keep cleaning in a minute after coffee

12:34 am

dcseain

yes, it is jilli. *hug*

12:34 am

jesdraggon

why can't your mom keep her cat, dc?

12:34 am

herinfernallady

Jill that is really heard

12:34 am

SamanthaJoy

Does she seem to be in any pain, jill?

12:35 am

dcseain

she can jess, she gets cats from her vet that he won't euthanize because they're healthy.

12:35 am

jesdraggon

the problem with just keeping animals and trying to find them homes is that we don't have the space or money in the clinic to do that, and there are far more critters than good homes

12:35 am

jesdraggon

i see

12:35 am

jillibus

I think her back leg bothers her, sam

12:35 am

dcseain

VERY true, jes.

12:35 am

SamanthaJoy

Aaaahhhhh. We have a dog with arthritis in her back legs, but she's two and otherwise healthy and happy.

12:36 am

it was sad in early october of 2001, my sister and i visitid the pound. there were 3 cats and 2 dods with signs that said 'my owner died at the pentagon' :(

12:36 am

herinfernallady

TGhanks

12:36 am

SamanthaJoy

I guess the question, jill, is what do you think she would say if you could ask her?

12:36 am

jillibus

sometimes she has a normal purr -- sometimes it's a really strange rattly sound

12:36 am

jesdraggon

lady--same cat as here: http://draggonlaady.livejournal.com/77
536.html

12:36 am

dcseain

oddly, seeing those touched me more than watching the smoke plume from my porch.

12:37 am

jesdraggon

and here: http://draggonlaady.livejournal.com/78
674.html

12:38 am

jillibus

sam, that's what I'm trying to figure out. So far she still seems fairly interested in life although there's so much she can't do any more.

12:38 am

dcseain

go with your gut, jilli, you grok your cat, i know you do.

12:39 am

12:40 am

SamanthaJoy

jes--I like your LJ. You've been friended.

12:40 am

jesdraggon

yeah. it's always sad when someone dies and doesn't have a place for the pets to go... though honestly, if something happened to me, only about half my critters have a place arranged

12:40 am

jillibus

did everyone get the peculiar so7?

12:40 am

jesdraggon

12:40 am

SamanthaJoy

12:40 am

dcseain

jes, there are those of us who seek out such pets.

12:41 am

SamanthaJoy

There's no need to make it reciprocal--I rant a lot, talk about politics a lot, and am not a lot of fun to read unless you're interested in the same things I am

12:41 am

2:40 am

westford

how long have you lived where you are?

2:40 am

herinfernallady

Upstairs is done, under the stairs is 90 % done with one tube needing sorting. Then the back room, storage room (my clothes are in there to) then the garage. I reckon there is about 4 weeks of cleaning to do if i want to throw out stuff im not traveling with

2:40 am

herinfernallady

YAH DArt

2:41 am

westford

well you have my admiration for doing all this

2:42 am

herinfernallady

OK Long story short. I have moved about 6 times between the ages of 21 - 24 then in my own place for 5 years and then here. Most of the time i have not cleaned and tossed but packed and goed. I lived on couches on weekends for 3 months so i never really unpacked and looked at what i had as i was afraid it would be gone.

2:43 am

herinfernallady

West so far i have tossed about 15 bags of crap with 5 bags for his lordship to sort.

2:43 am

westford

and this time you're going to do it differently

2:44 am

herinfernallady

Yes as i am moving with someone that isn't an arse hat

2:44 am

westford

we've been in this house since June '06 and my sitting room is still in chaos

2:44 am

westford

and don't even mention the garage and the basement

2:44 am

westford

2:45 am

herinfernallady

West heres a hint from Peter Walsh who is awesome (thanks Asgreen your B.I.L rocks) throw out or sort and toss three bags a day

2:45 am

westford

I saw him on Oprah

2:46 am

westford

I've been getting rid of so much and there's still so much

2:46 am

westford

we moved from a huge house to a smaller house that had everything left in it

2:47 am

herinfernallady

West you have to keep going till its gone. I have so much sh?? it is not funny. Storage is so important you guys in the states are lucky to have so many storage places

2:47 am

westford

there were 2 old maid school teachers who lived here for 50+ years and they didn't throw anything away

2:48 am

westford

storage is good we had a full attic and now it's all in this basement

2:48 am

herinfernallady

OH Dear frododamnit. Do you know where to start?

2:49 am

westford

been doing it but there's still so much..we've given a lot of it to charityand the kids

2:49 am

westford

trouble is there's some really nice things

2:49 am

westford

and we're getting the kitchen done over so I have to go through all of that

2:49 am

herinfernallady

West did you see the lady on Oprah that was a secret hoarder? 10 000 Squares of crap in a 32 square house.

2:50 am

westford

I don't really need 10 muffin pans lol

2:50 am

westford

the one who cried over the spoons?

2:50 am

herinfernallady

Ok West if there is some really beautiful peices. sort out what you can sell then sell it, keep it divide it amongst familys and friends

2:51 am

herinfernallady

I don't know she had so much stuff that her hubby was the paper horder

2:51 am

westford

that's a really good idea I could start an ebay account

2:51 am

herinfernallady

What sort of stuff?

2:52 am

westford

furniture, fine china and crystal, figurines, lamps, mink coats, 2 pianos

2:52 am

westford

you name it they had it

2:53 am

herinfernallady

Ok Eby is not the way to go

2:53 am

herinfernallady

Let me think

2:53 am

westford

lots of text books and novels and every sort of reference book

2:53 am

herinfernallady

Pianos. Are they yours or inherited?

2:53 am

westford

I'm thinking about consignment shops

2:54 am

westford

they were both here one is an upright in the basement

2:54 am

herinfernallady

Ok mm

2:54 am

westford

I could get it tuned and play while I do laundry

2:54 am

westford

but it's buried under boxes and boxes

2:55 am

westford

one good thing I was cleaning out some drawers full of tablecloths and napkins and found $ 4000.00

2:55 am

herinfernallady

There is something i was thinking off

2:56 am

westford

then there is every kind of kitchen appliance most don't look like they've ever been used probably gifts

2:57 am

herinfernallady

shoot brain fried give me a sec please don't leave

2:57 am

westford

you said ebay wasn't the way to go

3:00 am

herinfernallady

http://www.justgive.org/html/ways/ways
7.html look at this

3:00 am

herinfernallady

Ebay will give you money but you need to look at options.

3:01 am

herinfernallady

For instance Look at the back of a china dish it may have say Wedgewood on it and a discription and year. Google that and you may find antique stores prices

3:02 am

westford

I just looked that's a great site thanks

3:02 am

herinfernallady

I have no idea what you got but start with just one pile a day and you'll get there Google helps lets to.

3:02 am

herinfernallady

Lots

3:03 am

westford

there's wedgewood and royal doulton and waterford

3:05 am

herinfernallady

OH pretty. Start looking online at antique stores some times one piece may sell for $100 each gosh knows for whole collection

3:05 am

westford

there was a beautiful breakfront in the basement that they used to store old vases and half sets of dishes

3:05 am

westford

we brought it upstairs

3:06 am

herinfernallady

My friends aunt died and they found a piece of china that was $100 for one peice she had the whole set

3:06 am

westford

3:07 am

westford

not that her aunt died of course

3:07 am

bfsog

3:07 am

westford

hi bf

3:07 am

herinfernallady

OH and have you thought of donating the PIanos to a school for the music?

3:08 am

westford

herin I really need you to come here and get me organized

3:08 am

herinfernallady

Books are a pain in the arse to valuate. You can go through each one and find out its print run (first ed and so on)

3:08 am

westford

I want to keep one we gave ours to our realtor's daughter who is a music major

3:08 am

herinfernallady

West fly me there and i will help

3:08 am

herinfernallady

HI BF

3:08 am

herinfernallady

See West thats what i mean. Pass it on.

3:09 am

westford

you are just a little far away

3:09 am

herinfernallady

Sorry i can only give you net advise.

3:09 am

westford

we got rid of so much of our things before we moved in

3:09 am

westford

that's gold in itself herin thanks so much

3:10 am

bfsog

hows the grid?

3:10 am

westford

we have a Salvation Army store here but they are so fussy

3:10 am

westford

had a leather wing back chair with a tear in the arm and they wouldn't take it

3:11 am

westford

the grid is doable

3:12 am

herinfernallady

I found a book by Olive Schreiner Women and Labour published in 1911 I found out it was 2nd ed paid $5 for it and as a 1st ed it would have sold for $200

3:12 am

westford

I might look at the list and see if I can get any more words stuck at 60 to go

3:12 am

herinfernallady

Westford. Can you donate to charities like homeless shelters and the such.

3:13 am

westford

I think I must have given away most books like that but I did hold on to Anne of Green Gables

3:13 am

herinfernallady

OH yes classic books and the such are important

3:13 am

herinfernallady

Hi BFS how are you and pardon my rabbiting on

3:13 am

westford

we used to live near Boston and they had a good set up Coalition for the Homeless

3:14 am

westford

they picked it up and everything I'm sure there must be something like that around here

3:14 am

westford

another thing we found were their Christening gowns

3:15 am

westford

and dolls and doll house furniture..every day is like a treasure hunt

3:16 am

herinfernallady

OH West are the ladies stil alive? or have family? that kind of thing needs to be cleaned and preserved with great care and wrapped in acid free paper

3:17 am

westford

no unfortunately they're both gone and the relatives showed up to get their share of the sale of the house but otherwise don't want anything

3:17 am

westford

the reason everything was left is they stipulated in their wills that nothing was to be removed from the house

3:18 am

westford

I think they were a little p'o'd that no one came to see them

3:18 am

westford

one funny thing there are 3 typewriters here and no one will take them

3:18 am

herinfernallady

HI everyone...

6:51 am

shoolessdwarf

wow, great word haz, i have a bunch of hindi friends and hadn't come across that.

6:51 am

sprite

hi lori ann

6:51 am

Haz1558

You always learn something on babble!

6:52 am

Haz1558

Hello lori ann.

6:52 am

LoriP

G'd morning again Babblers. Neighbor dropped over for coffee. oddly enough, I still only have 17 words.....

6:52 am

sprite

hi Lori

6:52 am

Haz1558

Hello Lori.

6:52 am

jakes-mum

just put on last load of washing! 'Hurrah' bottom of washing basket has been discovered!!

6:53 am

jakes-mum

6:53 am

LoriP

Hey, I just scored mi 8. I must be wakingh up now...

6:53 am

sprite

yay for jakes-mum! Another one bites the dust!

6:53 am

Haz1558

I always find pegs at the bottom of the laundry basket, together with an apron I can never be bothered putting away.

6:54 am

lori ann

good for you Jakes! Laundry is on my list of to do's today.

6:54 am

shoolessdwarf

i always find hundreds of single socks who have lost their partners

6:54 am

sprite

we have a special box for them, shooles, so they can reunite. It often helps.

6:54 am

Haz1558

The cure for single socks is to use a net bag and then reunite them when putting away.

6:54 am

shoolessdwarf

aww cute

6:55 am

shoolessdwarf

good plan

6:55 am

jakes-mum

surprisingly i always find pegs in jakes bedroom and have no idea how they get there

6:56 am

shoolessdwarf

obviously ladies with far superior laundry skills to my 20 year old sense of organisation

6:56 am

Haz1558

It comes with experience, shoeless. 25 years of laundry does that to you.

6:56 am

sprite

I let my family put their socks into the basket as a pair, upper seam of board over each other. I tear them apart when I put them into the machine, so I KNOW they went in together. And then I reunite them when I hang them up or fold them. The problem is with socks that go in by themselves... after my kids cleaned their rooms for instance.

6:57 am

Haz1558

Or, wear identical socks all the time.

6:57 am

lori ann

I have this same problem sprite!! LOL socks always seem to be hiding under a bed.

6:58 am

jakes-mum

now the question is do i get the ironing board out now or do I wait until the last load is washed and dry and do the lot . . .

6:58 am

sprite

no way my daughter will go for that, Haz. Nor my son. Vanity seems to rule at their ages.

6:58 am

Haz1558

How long is it since the first lot of washing was done? The longer you leave it the worse it is.

6:58 am

sprite

lol lori ann, they do. They are both sentient and adventurous, them socks :)

6:58 am

lori ann

Who irons anymore jakes?? I save the iron for special occasions! LOL

6:59 am

Haz1558

I know, sprite, Husbands are much more cooperative, they can be happy with multiple packs of navy socks.

6:59 am

lori ann

My grandmother would be ashamed of me!! I can remember her ironing my grandfathers boxer shorts!

6:59 am

Haz1558

I iron. I enjoy ironing. Organisation out of chaos.

6:59 am

jakes-mum

I'm a bit strange I admit, I LOVE to iron lily's clothes, my sister laughs at me as I iron body suits and sleepsuits (I don't want her to be uncomfortable in wrinkly clothes in bed)

7:00 am

inge

Guten Morgen, Babbler. I see my name in the grid, but not very helpful with verbs

7:00 am

sprite

exactly Haz. At the moment it has become impossible to tell hubby's socks apart from my son's, and my son's from mine or my daughter's... I told them to mark their socks if they care, and otherwise they will have to pull them out of the big pile :)

7:00 am

lori ann

I'll send my ironing off to you Haz...LOL

7:00 am

Haz1558

Hello inge.

7:01 am

sprite

hi inge. you count for me, you do! Very valid person. Stoooooopid enable.

7:01 am

jakes-mum

i'm getting lots of smiles at the minute, miss lily must know i'm talking about her

7:01 am

Haz1558

Jacula has already tried that, lori ann, when her ironing pile threatened to reach the ceiling. She sent me the photograph to prove that she wasn't joking!

7:01 am

shoolessdwarf

ironing is my second least favourite chore, after washing up, its the cutlery, i cant bring myself to do the cutlery for some reason

7:01 am

jakes-mum

Thats why I have a dishwasher shooless

7:02 am

Haz1558

But do force yourself, shoeless, otherwise you may find yourself friendless.

7:02 am

bonkler

your dishwasher does ironing?

7:02 am

sprite

washing up? Do the glasses, then throw in the cutlery and wash the rest. After that, the cutlery is already as good as clean, only needs a quick brush.

7:02 am

shoolessdwarf

ah, no room in the kitchen for a dishwasher

7:02 am

Haz1558

ANd I've just realised that it's shooless - I'll remember in future.

7:02 am

jakes-mum

My least favourite chore is dusting, cannot abide dusting, so husband has to do it

7:02 am

inge

7:02 am

shoolessdwarf

7:02 am

hey, I am great in avoiding work, grin.

7:03 am

shoolessdwarf

i'm loving this, not only do i get to play babble, but i get all the fantastic trade secrets too

7:03 am

shoolessdwarf

don't worry

7:03 am

sprite

the babble chat is usually as good as the puzzles itself... we rock ;)

7:03 am

jakes-mum

ahhh shooless, get a husband orkid to do it! it's what they are for. I used to get husband to do it so he ripped out the entire kitchen to fit a dishwasher in lol

7:03 am

Haz1558

We don't charge either, unless it's REALLY valuable advice.

7:04 am

lori ann

I'm with you on this sprite!! although I don't find to many words while I'm chatting.

7:04 am

shoolessdwarf

i actually hate that it's misspelled, but i chose it as an email and logon name for things when i was 15 and at that point i thought it was...interesting?...and now i just havent changed

7:04 am

sprite

but Haz considers all her advice REALLY valuable, so be warned... and she is often right ;)

7:04 am

shoolessdwarf

see i'm only 20, so kid is a way away for me, and husband, well, give me time

7:04 am

7:05 am

jakes-mum

7:05 am

7:06 am

7:06 am

Was it bad, hun?

7:06 am

Haz1558

Oh, poor Atalante - but is the crown gleaming?

7:06 am

Anniebrook

Hi, Ata, why sore mouth?

7:06 am

Atalante

no! I've still got the temporary one *mutter mutter*

7:06 am

7:07 am

Atalante

the permanent one was slightly not quite right *sigh* and my gums are owie. so he wouldn't put the permanent one on. next week

7:07 am

jakes-mum

sprite i read her your message and got a big smile so i send it on to you :-)

7:07 am

shoolessdwarf

ok, i should go and do some work. bye all and thanks for all the advice, i can see this becoming more addictive than the babble

7:07 am

Haz1558

What a shame! But you didn't punch the dentist, did you?

7:07 am

sprite

awwwwww jakes-mum, she is adorable!

7:08 am

Anniebrook

oh, {{{atalante}}}

7:08 am

Haz1558

Bye shooless, we give plumbing advice around 11.

7:08 am

Atalante

oh no! I love my dentist. He's gorgeous and looks kinda like george

7:08 am

sprite

bye shooless, have a good one and see you around!

7:08 am

jakes-mum

bye shooless

7:09 am

Haz1558

Ah well, no need to worry about seeing him too often. I'd have a weekly toothache if he looked like George.

7:09 am

Haz1558

Phone....

7:09 am

Atalante

I am always quite happy to stare up at him for an hour!

7:11 am

Haz1558

You keep your eyes open? I always keep them shut during treatment.

7:11 am

Haz1558

But then my dentist doesn't look like George.

7:11 am

sprite

not with george hanging over you, I bet

7:12 am

sprite

lol

7:12 am

Atalante

oh yes, I have to watch whatever's going on. and we always have wonderfully morbid conversations. Like today, we were discussing the use of cadaver bones in facial reconstruction and where the cadaver bones come from

7:12 am

sprite

ewwwwwww romantic! (NOT)

7:13 am

Haz1558

From donated bodies I would guess?

7:13 am

Atalante

apparently not!

7:13 am

Haz1558

Not bodysnatching? I thought that went out with Burke and Hare.

7:14 am

Atalante

apparently from old burial grounds where they can't identify the bones. The bone fragments / sections are sterilised and stuff and then used

7:15 am

Atalante

which I find utterly amazing! I suppose donated bodies have bone that's too fresh and organic

7:15 am

sprite

jeeeezzzzz with all the alternate spellings enable seems to love, why not mosaix. Tsk.

7:16 am

Haz1558

That's amazing, Atalante.

Atalante

really? wow. thats very cool

7:37 am

Uniquity

Good morning!

7:38 am

sprite

ohhhh Uniquity, you are so beautiful today!

7:38 am

sprite

oh... that was yesterday. But cute vases :)

7:39 am

Uniquity

I'm no longer beautiful? **sniffle/whimper**

7:40 am

Anniebrook

hi Uni! always beautiful!

7:40 am

sprite

ah, that is what I get for trying to give a compliment... put my foot in my mouth again!
Uniquity... you are always beautiful. Very beautiful. I like your necklace even more than your vases!

7:40 am

Uniquity

Thank you Annie, that's much better for my confidence :)

7:41 am

Atalante

what wait did I miss a pic of Uni?

7:41 am

Anniebrook

and so off to the kitchen for a while. bbl

7:41 am

Uniquity

Well that is sounding suggestive, Spritey! Thank you for the praise nonetheless, I think it was very kind of you and your peeking out person

7:41 am

sprite

*hides red head beneath table, very much ashamed*

7:42 am

Uniquity

question, for anyone else, does Sprites icons background come out black in chat, but pale blue in profile? It's always confused me

7:43 am

sprite

it does for me too, Uniquity. I think it is because it is a .png format and not a /jpg.

7:43 am

ylleria

can someone give me the starting letter for the other 8? I have om 8/55

7:43 am

sprite

mi8, ylleria

7:43 am

Uniquity

Alright, that makes some sense. Ata, I could put up the M+M I made of myself, online...does that count?

7:43 am

ylleria

thanks, sprite

7:44 am

Atalante

that'll do! seeing as I had to drag out my wedding pics! :P

7:44 am

Uniquity

How are you Sprite? I haven't been on at same time as you for a while

7:44 am

sprite

ok, I wanna see your pic too, Uniquity. I promise I will be honestly complimenting you.

7:45 am

Uniquity

I think we all need to make M+M people and use them as icons. It's fun

7:46 am

sprite

have been better, Uniquity, though also have been worse. Tough times... hubby has gout or rheumatism or something like that, won't go away, so lots of pressure on entire household for over 2 months now. But we are coping.

7:46 am

Atalante

ah. seeing as Sprite wants a pic too, we're only going to settle for a real one now!

7:46 am

sprite

please Uniquity, a real one?

7:47 am

Uniquity

But...but...I finally got the M+M up

7:48 am

Uniquity

One minute..

7:48 am

Atalante

well, that's good practice ;)

7:49 am

sprite

well, I love the M&M for starters! Great colour! Cute crown!

7:51 am

Uniquity

There. I pretty much only have face shots, but this is semi-nearly recent. My hair is all brown again now as I have let the dye grow out, but the glasses are the right ones :)

7:51 am

Uniquity

LOL. A little skewered though

7:51 am

Atalante

see!? you *are* lovely!! and every other complement you've ever been given!

7:52 am

Uniquity

My eyes are *blue* in that pic, wow~! Sometimes they get like that, rather than grey.

7:53 am

Atalante

grey eyes are cool. elves have grey eyes

7:53 am

Uniquity

Here, now I am blowing you kisses before I go back to the vases. This is me again, lol

7:53 am

sprite

owwww beautiful indeed! Hypnotic eyes. Very goodlooking lady!

7:54 am

Uniquity

Danke, Sprite and Ata. It's fun when you can choose the pics, ;)

7:56 am

Atalante

it is!

7:56 am

sprite

it is!

7:57 am

sprite

grrrrr leaving out a very small particle should be called at10.

7:57 am

Uniquity

Who's your kitty Ata?

7:58 am

Atalante

thats my old kitty. I got him when I was 8, and he died when I was 22. He was my *best* cat

7:59 am

sprite

he is so cute

7:59 am

Atalante

he was my beaauuuuuuutiful boy

7:59 am

Atalante

but a little monster

8:00 am

Uniquity

He looks very fun...orange cats always give me that impression. My *best* cat ((whispering now so the others don't hear) was my Katie, got her on my second birthday, she passed when I was 12. She owuld have lived longer, but my stepmother put her outside. She was a lifelong inside lap cat who couldn't take the outside world :(

8:00 am

Uniquity

He looks like Bobo who is hovering at my feet whining for treats

8:00 am

Atalante

poor baby!

8:00 am

sprite

oh Uniquity, that is terrible. Am so sorry :(

8:01 am

Atalante

Nutty used to follow me to the bus stop when i went to school, and he'd go back up there to pick me up and walk me home in the afternoons

8:02 am

Uniquity

Oh that's so sweet Ata! We had an outside kitty who was born in our barn (Bebe, I called him) who would follow me to the ends of the earth. Hated everyone else, but he was my boy.

8:02 am

sprite

is LoriP your real mother, Uniquity?

8:03 am

Uniquity

Yes, LoriP is my real mother :)

8:03 am

Atalante

awwwww, cats like that are very special, uni

8:03 am

sprite

our cat used to do that too, Ata! So funny, and so sweet.

8:04 am

Uniquity

Most cats are special, but I adore when I find that cat who i am perfectly suited to. Happened three times so far, really. Another kitty of ours used to sleep with me and lick my armpits while I was trying to sleep, loL!

8:04 am

Atalante

Hobbit does that! little monsters!

8:04 am

sprite

sounds like there is a good story in there, Uniquity. Lovely you are spending time at her place again. Tell her *hugs* from me...and have some yourself!

8:05 am

Uniquity

Very tricky to sleep with a cat tickling your armpits!

8:05 am

Atalante

Nutty used to try and sleep on my head. I woke up many times nearly being suffocated by ginger fur

8:05 am

Uniquity

LOL! I don't think that happened to me...suffocation is a shame

8:06 am

Atalante

hobbit's "best" trick is licking my eyelids to try and get me to open my eyes

8:06 am

sprite

eeeeks Ata... that would work for me. Immediately.

8:06 am

Uniquity

Hobbit sounds fantastically fun! I don't know if I could take the doggy breath though

8:06 am

Atalante

it does with me too. And she knows it

8:07 am

Atalante

she doesn't have dog breath *smug*

8:07 am

sprite

that really depends on what you feed them and how you take care of them

8:07 am

Atalante

she doesn't really smell doggy either

8:08 am

Uniquity

I've never had a dog of my own, I am a cat person, really. Found the most beautiful dog in the world the other day though! Husky/golden lab mix with the BLUEST eyes. So well trained, for only two months old. It was an angel in a pup's body, I swear

8:09 am

sprite

I have known dogs that did not smell bad at all. But my mother's dog... you could smell it outside the house already, when you came to visit. And inside, it was terrible. But the dog was not to blame.

8:09 am

Atalante

awwwwww! I'm totally a cat person. Hobbit is the first dog I've ever really have. well, we had another cocker, but he died v young and I never really knew him. But Hobbit is *mine*

8:09 am

Inge2

true, sprite, we brush our dogs' teeth every day; no doggy breath. <lurker>

8:09 am

sprite

I am another cat person. But am considering getting a dog for the kids.

8:10 am

Uniquity

My stepma had a collie that they named Lassie (unfortunately)...I was her favorite human. We used to pal around like nothing else, she could eat peanuts from between my teeth!

8:10 am

sprite

yay inge2! you will keep him/her healthy for much longer that way.

8:10 am

Atalante

ick, I hate that, sprite. Doggy smell can be so intense

8:11 am

Inge2

morning, all. Your icons are a lovely mix of desert brown and sea green. (Or maybe I just need to refresh the browser

8:11 am

sprite

it was terrible, Ata. But that is what you get when you don't feed them good stuff, don't keep them clean and let them jump on the couch all wet after walking them in the rain.

8:12 am

sprite

lol inge, same here. I love the combination too much to refresh.

8:12 am

Atalante

hmmmmm welll hobbit always manages to jump on things when wet LOL. but somehow she just never smells doggy

8:12 am

sprite

but you do get her dry, don't you? You don't let her dry out on your couch, until both are soggy?

8:13 am

Uniquity

It is definitely about the care you take with them..i feel like size affects it too, but i have had only a little experience

8:13 am

sprite

russian ruler alert

8:13 am

Inge2

some dogs just naturally exude more, I found, with the same measures of cleanliness.

8:13 am

Atalante

I usually try and get her at least *damp* rather than *wet*

8:13 am

Inge2

russian ruler?

8:14 am

sprite

exactly. It is all about the effort you are willing to put into your dog.

8:14 am

Uniquity

What kind of dog do you have Inge2?

8:14 am

sprite

the old russian 'king', inge

8:15 am

Inge2

I have two dachshunds now. They're never smelly. But I had a basset/shepherd (?) /retriever mix who just exuded dogginess whenever she got excited. She was a wonderful dog...loved her.

8:16 am

Inge2

oh, tx sprite ....I had that, but I was thinking the OTHER meaning of ruler and was wondering whether there was a new babblet to learn! :-)

8:16 am

sprite

hehehe, happiness just never smells bad

8:16 am

Uniquity

Sounds wonderful, despite the smell, Inge! I like retriever/lab mutt mixes. I am not a fan or pure at all, find the inteligence to have gone too low quite often, :(

8:16 am

sprite

lol inge, I keep missing this one, so I thought I'd mention it. Probably more for my sake, grin.

8:17 am

Inge2

I love retrievers too. But they shed like the dickens, and do tend to smell a bit more.

8:17 am

hydra

Hello Inge, sprite, Uni. Have any of you got a clue to the ti6/27 please?

8:17 am

Inge2

yikes. I'm late for work. Nice chatting. :-)

8:18 am

Inge2

Hydra, when I'm late for work, I've messed up my sense of ti****

8:19 am

hydra

Doh! Why didn't I see that? I shall smack myself in the face with a wet haddock.

8:20 am

sprite

hi hydra. Missed that one too, thanks inge

8:20 am

Atalante

8:21 am

8:21 am

Uniquity
