12:30 am

GroovyKiwi

TeaNCrackers

12:30 am

jillibus

well, I've been to Reno and Tahoe and some others

12:31 am

12:33 am

TeaNCrackers

:)

12:34 am

jillibus

when we were breeding Gt Danes in Montreal I had a phone call from someone in Houston saying she had sold a pup to Vancouver so would I please drop in and help with the ear taping. I said (politely) "You do it, you're closer."

MLF, I'm sure they'll disagree with me, but oh well

12:35 am

MLFAN17

i dont know how long they have been there but i think they had their share of times at the bars

12:35 am

MLFAN17

etc

12:36 am

12:37 am

Geekmeister

Hi Pigeonman, How are things going?

12:37 am

rururocks

12:37 am

redturtlehead

Never really been to LV...or reno, but a few people have recommended Reno as a place for my next job post Florida.

12:37 am

TeaNCrackers

12:37 am

12:38 am

redturtlehead

Hi Geek

12:38 am

Geekmeister

I'm a baked potato! I also agree!!! I've lived in Vegas for 49 years

12:38 am

TeaNCrackers

I like Reno, of course, I have lived here since I was three months old. My family and all of my hubby's family are here, so that makes it nice.

TeaNCrackers

BeannachtaÃ na FÃ©ile PÃ¡draig oraibh!

3:14 am

Atalante

3:15 am

herinfernallady

Thank the B.f that that one bloody Irishman

3:15 am

P.J.

TY sprite,lady jandy and lynn

3:15 am

Atalante

but I do have a st patrick's day pic now!

3:16 am

Jandy

And the best insulator is actually antacids, or better still prescription anti-reflux drugs. Magic..........

3:16 am

herinfernallady

Yah Ata

3:16 am

Jandy

Oh dear, that sounded a bit like I knew what I was talking about. We only allow ourselves one a day int the PB!

3:16 am

3:17 am

Atalante

milk. i swear by milk.

3:17 am

Jandy

Very cute, Ata!

3:18 am

sprite

I am never ever hungover. I drink a glass of water for each alcoholic drink and it works like a charm.

3:18 am

Jandy

It does work, Ata... and you"re fighting off osteoporosis at the same time!

3:18 am

herinfernallady

Maccas makes good booze insalation

3:18 am

Jandy

Well, you see, Sprite, my theory is that if you can remember to do that, you're not actually drunk...

3:19 am

Jandy

It's like no-one who is sober would ever drink shots... so you're always adding insult to injury when you get into that game.... "Shudder"

3:19 am

sprite

hehehe Jandy, once it has become a habit, you will do it even when the brain shuts down

3:19 am

P.J.

a little hair from the dog that bit you works..:D

3:19 am

herinfernallady

I don't drink much One is enough

3:19 am

herinfernallady

New years eve was a tad different this year though.

3:20 am

sprite

my friends used to hate me in the mornings, lol.

3:20 am

Jandy

I think that's true hodag, but you have to be up for it...

3:20 am

Jandy

Big night lady?

3:20 am

herinfernallady

New years was a tad silly

3:21 am

Jandy

I can understand that, sprite! My husband only feels the worse for wear about once a decade... I think it's the extra foot of height he has over me! It runs into his legs or something...

3:21 am

P.J.

yor right Jandy lol

3:21 am

Jandy

Well, lady, that's what new years is for!

3:21 am

sprite

lol Jandy, I am 1.68m... you are taller than me, I bet

3:22 am

herinfernallady

1 bottle of Whiskey, 1 bottle of Triple Sec and one bottle of Tequila. We were making Pint mug Margaritas and Lynchburg Lemonades.

3:22 am

Jandy

No..... 1.63.... and sadly, fat don't help!

3:22 am

sprite

lol, I be4 you in the fat too.

3:22 am

herinfernallady

Ps we were at home

3:23 am

Jandy

Don't be sure, baby, I might type thin.... but...

3:23 am

P.J.

I think we start the new year the same way every year loaded"!

3:23 am

Jandy

Well, that's my favourite place to make a disgrace of myself, lady. No worries about getting home, you can just keel over into bed!

3:23 am

sprite

hehehe, I am over 100kg, so don't worry

3:23 am

herinfernallady

yep. And no crowds

3:23 am

herinfernallady

Sprite you are pretty

3:24 am

sprite

thanks lady :D

3:24 am

Jandy

As long as you don't make any stupid alcohol-induced resolutions about exercise or abstinence, hodag!

3:24 am

sprite

no crowds for me either. And no fireworks, unless they are far off. I just stay in nowadays and feel much better for it.

3:24 am

herinfernallady

Never make new years resoloutions

3:25 am

Jandy

I am snapping at your heels, sprite, but am using this sick leave time to get moving again. Now I know there was actually something wrong and a reason I couldn't get moving, I feel better about it! So back to the treadmill... very slowly....

3:25 am

sprite

sounds wonderful, Jandy! You are doing well! Very slowly and step by step, that is the way.

3:25 am

Jandy

Puff, pant, red face, sweaty... no wonder I hate exercise! I just don't care for it and the endorphins everyone talks about seem to miss me...

3:26 am

Jandy

I get far more endorphins from hard shopping and good parties and great other things...

3:26 am

sprite

well, actually the best exercise one can get is walking, very regularly. No need to push yourself over limits.

3:26 am

sprite

I get the best endorphins from sex, but hey, who am i

3:27 am

Jandy

We nearly always have friends over for new year or stay at friends now, lady, cause you can't get a taxi for love nor money and it just ruins the night to be waiting for two hours!

3:27 am

Jandy

That was the great other things....

3:27 am

Jandy

so you are in excellent company sprite!

3:27 am

sprite

yay Jandy :D

3:28 am

Jandy

Is it real? Ata, or just a new figment! At least you wont be asked to put up a new ceiling each day!!!

3:51 am

Atalante

I really don't know!

3:52 am

Atalante

I haven't heard / seen any evidence, but he is convinced

3:53 am

sprite

a mouse with fleas, no doubt. They fled to the ceiling to be safe from Sily...

3:54 am

sprite

is he acting 'normal' for the rest, Ata? All this paranoia, I don't know... perhaps he should see a doctor? ;)

3:54 am

Atalante

normal? he is a man ...

3:56 am

sprite

hence the quotation marks :)

3:57 am

Atalante

LOL

3:57 am

redturtlehead

Well, I thnk as long as it doesnt result in more laundry for Ata then its OK...

3:58 am

sprite

ohhhhhhh BIG sigh of relief... we have friends in Atlanta. Just received an email that they are alright.

3:58 am

P.J.

bye all

3:58 am

sprite

bye ho *hug*

3:58 am

Atalante

though I was told to grow up yesterday when I objected to him using the last bottle we have of my favourite fizzy wine that we can only get from France as a cooking ingredient in his moussaka

4:02 am

sprite

tssssssk. Yup, 'normal' allright, but highly irritating. Did he do it anyway?

4:02 am

Atalante

yes!

4:05 am

redturtlehead

mEN ARE strange indeed....

4:05 am

Atalante

I was unamused

4:05 am

redturtlehead

we almost have banana in the grid, so sad its not there.

4:06 am

sprite

that is rude. I would have been very angry indeed. Are you getting along for the greater part? I am wondering, all of a sudden... happy moments to compensate for the irritation?

4:08 am

FMitch

Good morning, yay it's stopped raining!!

4:08 am

Atalante

unfortunately I don't really see him enough to have enough happy moments to counteract the irritation! He works all week, gets home at 9pm at the earliest, often midnight, he's out all day Saturday, and busy most Sundays ...!

4:08 am

Atalante

hi FM! read back for D's latest little annoyance

4:09 am

sprite

*hugs FMitch tightly*
Missed you, hun! Though I used your PB a lot, just because it is such a great place.

4:09 am

FMitch

I just did and he is lucky to have all his bits still intact!

4:09 am

sprite

sounds to me the two of you have some marital maintenance work to take care of, Ata... if you don't mind me saying so. *hug*

4:10 am

Atalante

lol more than that, spritey dear!

4:10 am

FMitch

Lovely to see you too sprite. PB is certainly getting a lot of wear and tear but everyone seem sto enjoy it.

4:10 am

Atalante

your PB rocks

4:12 am

FMitch

I think we should ahve a big party in there before too long as I intend to drain the pool and shut it for a while for a full refurbishment.

4:12 am

Atalante

pool party!!

4:12 am

FMitch

LOL

4:13 am

Haz1558

Let's be glad you put an l on the end of that p word.

4:13 am

FMitch

Good morning Haz great to see you.

4:13 am

Atalante

I'm not nut!!

4:14 am

sprite

I am game!

4:14 am

Haz1558

Good morning all!

4:14 am

Atalante

morning! and how's the spangly one today?

4:15 am

Haz1558

Spangle is going through her morning ablutions. The paws are receiving serious and dedicated attention.

4:15 am

Atalante

ahhhh the nibbling of the paws. very serious business

4:16 am

lizmac

Morning all, I'm pretending to make tea and get the bin out, so excuse me if I disappear suddenly!!

4:16 am

Haz1558

Who knows? Perhaps there are fleas or rodents secreted in them.

4:16 am

Atalante

invisible ones at that

4:16 am

sprite

in his brain, yes Haz. And hi :)

4:16 am

sprite

and hi lizmac too!

4:16 am

FMitch

or both, shock horror!
Morning liz

4:17 am

Haz1558

Good morning liz.

4:17 am

Haz1558

To the PB, FMitch.

4:17 am

lizmac

Ha Haz, Sophie is doing serious excavation work in the litter tray...maybe she's looking for fossils of aforementioned critters.

4:18 am

Haz1558

If the antics of animals are mysterious to us, can you imagine what goes through their heads when they watch us?

4:19 am

Atalante

I dread to think!

4:20 am

FMitch

Stop the Press:.... ....
from LizSarks blog:
Just a note from the junior reporter to say that Liz successfully finished her walk and is now homeward bound.

4:20 am

lizmac

Hmmmm. Sophie seems totally mystified about our diet...I mean WHY would anyone eat oranges when she knows for a fact that there are cat biccies in the cupboard.

4:20 am

Atalante

wooooooooot!

4:20 am

Haz1558

Oh wonderful! And is Toyah going to be special guest at the welcome home party?

4:20 am

FMitch

http://elmontsonline.blogspot.com/
lol of course Haz

4:21 am

lizmac

Tea, bin, byeeee.

4:21 am

Atalante

we should have a toyah day when liz rearrives at babble

4:21 am

Haz1558

Caught out, liz? BYee!

4:22 am

FMitch

Looks like she will be back on Sark this morning

4:22 am

Haz1558

I'm sure she'll be glad to get back, but I'm looking forward to hearing how she got on.

4:23 am

Haz1558

Is it six degrees of separation - six rather than five? Because I'm trying to work out how many degrees of separation will be between me and the Queen on Thursday.

4:24 am

FMitch

Do read the blog, facinating, and her hub is planning his next trek across Greenland, and Liz's bookshop opens in 7 days! Feel knackered just reading it all.

4:24 am

Atalante

lovely lovely greenland

4:24 am

FMitch

Quenn Haz, whats happening?

4:25 am

sprite

I thought 6. I have to be off, am trying to do too much at a time and that is not good for my brain or nerves. Big hugs to you all, it was great seeing you today! :)

4:25 am

FMitch

Queen, Haz, ? even Bye sprity sprite

4:25 am

Atalante

well, I dreamt about the QUeen last night, and you know me. so ... 2 degrees of separation

4:26 am

Haz1558

Bye sprite!. Well, the Queen is coming to Armagh on Thursday to distribute Maundy money. My sister in law is lending her hat to a fellow teacher who has been invited to attend the ceremony along with her elderly mother who is to receive Maundy money.

4:26 am

Atalante

will there be anyone there to give her Baileys shaped wreaths?

4:27 am

FMitch

There was a huge auction on at Ascot over the w/e some guy selling his entire Queen colleciton (pop not royalty) does that count?

4:27 am

Haz1558

No, indeed, it will all be very tasteful!

4:28 am

Atalante

LOL, thats a shame

4:28 am

Haz1558

So, me, the sister-in-law, the hat, the friend, the friend's mother, the Queen. Six degrees.

4:29 am

Atalante

wonder if George has met the Queen

4:29 am

Haz1558

Lucky Queen.

4:30 am

Haz1558

PHone!

4:31 am

Haz1558

And back.

4:31 am

Atalante

more lambs?

4:32 am

Haz1558

No - husband reporting a hot air balloon in the vicinity.

4:32 am

FMitch

I don't think inanimate objects count, sorry Haz

4:32 am

Haz1558

I do hope it's not the press trying to get sneaky photographs of George In Hiding.

4:32 am

Atalante

i see!

4:32 am

Atalante

queen arriving early?

4:33 am

Haz1558

Inanimate object being the hat? So, take out the hat and it's five degrees.

4:33 am

FMitch

lol, there you are then!

4:33 am

Haz1558

I had been harbouring a secret hope that she might come to open our new Town Hall. I've tried to find out but if the local press photographer knows nothing then I don't think it's happening this week.

4:34 am

Atalante

nooo! you want liam to come home and open it!

4:34 am

Haz1558

Gosh, there's a thought.

4:35 am

lynxxx

Liam/the Queen mmmm LIAM

4:35 am

lynxxx

hello GBrs

4:35 am

FMitch

Evening lynxxx :)

4:35 am

Haz1558

I have already seen the Queen, so maybe Liam would be acceptable.

4:35 am

Atalante

yes, sorry queenie, liam wins

4:35 am

Haz1558

Good evening lynxxx.

4:37 am

Atalante

ha ha one of my friends just dropped off a packet of uneaten chicken strips from her dinner last night for Hobbit. she is *so* spoilt

4:38 am

Haz1558

You're not going to hijack them yourself?

4:39 am

Atalante

I wouldn't dare. She'd *know*

4:39 am

Haz1558

No, I suppose the guilt wouldn't be worth it.

4:40 am

Atalante

exactly ...

4:40 am

Haz1558

We've started to give Spangle supplements in her food to help counteract arthritis. Unless you disguise them well, she delicately eats round them.

4:40 am

FMitch

Spaniel eyes would haunt you

4:41 am

Atalante

little brat! I shall give you my Big Tip For Getting Spaniels To Eat Glucosamine

4:41 am

Haz1558

What is The Big Tip?

4:42 am

FMitch

Why is it that animals do that? Think of the things they are happy to sniff and eat but a tinly little pil ... Noooo!

4:42 am

Atalante

instead of putting them in her food, get a little jar of beef paste / chicken paste / whatever flavour she likes paste, and coat the offending item in the paste. the paste has a strong enough smell to disguise the tablet. then its a good thing cos its human food and you're giving it to her etc etc

4:43 am

Haz1558

That sounds a nicer plan than ours. Open her mouth, pop the pill in and hold the mouth until she swallows.

4:43 am

Atalante

lol yes, that was my initial way of getting hobbit to eat them

4:43 am

Atalante

we experimented until we came up with the beef paste plan

4:44 am

Haz1558

I had to laugh one day - I rolled one in a piece of bread, offered it to her, she took it then literally spat it out.

4:44 am

hydra

I haven#t been able to ger Flad, the semi feral cat, to have a worm pill for three years. He has huge fangs and he goes wild if you try and grab him, and won't eat his food if the pill is crushed in it. I've even tried mashing it with sardines. Any tips?

4:44 am

lynxxx

I found a slice of salami wrapped around the pill was good

4:44 am

Atalante

looool oh yes! bread isn't cunning enough

4:45 am

Atalante

get the worming stuff you squidge on their neck, like frontline

4:45 am

Haz1558

I know. What was I thinking?

4:45 am

hydra

Oh! I thought that was just for fleas and tics. Didn't know you could get worming stuff to squeeze on. Many thanks, Ata.

4:45 am

Atalante

think that's why paste works, you can mould it round the pill until nothing is seen or smelt other than the paste

4:46 am

Atalante

you can now, hydra! its relatively new and utterly wonderful!

4:46 am

hydra

I'll let you know how I get on!

4:46 am

Haz1558

Is it important to do the disguising out of sight?

4:46 am

Atalante

it apparently doesn't work quite as well as worming tablets, but I think it must work significantly better than nothing!

4:47 am

sgams

I had to give my old coonhound huge antibiotic pills over Christmas, 2 twice a day, stuck them in a peanut butter sandwich! Worked like a charm!

4:47 am

Atalante

not with Hobbit. but I don't think she can quite see what I'm doing on the worktops. and now she doesn't care, any time I get the paste jar out of the fridge, she's there for her "treat". I can stick anything in that stuff!

4:48 am

Haz1558

I should make a list. Meat paste, peanut butter sandwiches....

4:49 am

Atalante

but yes, I think the more the dog thinks its a treat and doesn't see what's in it, that has to be better. especially with bratty too-clever-by-half spaniels

4:50 am

Haz1558

And still the paws get attended to.

4:51 am

Atalante

wow! thats an extended session

4:51 am

sgams

Well I swear Farley was laughing at the other dogs, because they all "only" got cookies and HE got Peanut Butter Sandwiches!

4:52 am

Haz1558

Was he disappointed when the Peanut Butter Bonanza finished?

4:52 am

Atalante

the other trick - throw dog a treat (sorry, grid word I know but its necessary), and then throw them the tablet-in-something and *generally* you can fool them into thinking it'll be another treat

4:52 am

hillary

reban

4:53 am

sgams

I think so! Yes!! Poor guy. but he got better thats the main thing

4:53 am

Haz1558

These dogs haven't really a chance, have they? It's a comfort to know that cmbining brains like this can come up with answers.

4:54 am

Atalante

they think they are clever ... but they don't realise how sneaky humans can be if necessary

4:54 am

sgams

Now trying to get thyroid pills into a 18 yo cat...totally different story

4:54 am

Haz1558

Still, their smell is awfully good, you have to give them credit.

4:55 am

Atalante

oh! cat advice - for antibiotics, there is now a 15 day antibiotic jab you can give them rather than having to force tablets down their throats every day

4:55 am

Atalante

too good

4:55 am

Haz1558

You should have your own web advice page - Atalante's Animal Advice.

4:56 am

sgams

Ya, we're onto trying our fourth version of this thyroid med....cream in the ear! WoW what next.

4:56 am

Atalante

nah. that's it. all my animal advice. in 1 go. I think. I feel quite smug about it though

4:57 am

Atalante

I'm still just so amazed by being able to give antibiotics to cats in 1 injection. Bliss.

4:57 am

sgams

No kidding that is Awesome!

4:58 am

Atalante

is it *ever*!

4:58 am

lizmac

Sophie's a saintly cat....or a foolishly greedy one. Pills get offered, pills get taken, minimum fuss...lucky me, eh?!

4:58 am

Atalante

very very lucky you!!

4:59 am

Haz1558

I'm wondering if the drugs manufacturers are coming up with new drugs etc for clinical reasons or in order to satisfy the demands of vets and owners!

4:59 am

lizmac

Have made tea and reminded Hub that it's bin day!

4:59 am

sgams

We call all our cats (and two in particular) the ultimate psych patients....they all tongue their meds for ages and ages and finally spit them out LONG after you think they swallowed them.

4:59 am

Eva

Hi everyone. I have a wonderful pill"gun" I got from the vet-looks like a long straw with a plunger in it and a rubber tip which holds the pill. You draw back the plunger and when you push it in a little puff of air pops the pill down the cats throat without having to put fingers in cat's mouth. Takes a little practice , but merp gets three pills every morning and it's usually easy.

4:59 am

Atalante

vets and owners a lot, I'm sure! anything to get their drugs sold rather than competitors. the antibio jab is called "Convenia". for obvious reasons

5:00 am

Haz1558

Ah, a mechanical device enters the competition.

5:01 am

sgams

Did you all know that if you give a dog a pill and hold his mouth shut and blow in his nose he will automatically swallow it!

5:01 am

Atalante

i'm not getting dog sn** over me!!

5:01 am

lizmac

yuuuch

5:01 am

Haz1558

Please do not try this with next door's guarding rottweiler....

5:02 am

sgams

Hahahha, You don't have to give him mouth to snout!! hahaha

5:02 am

lizmac

haha, Haz, indeed not.

5:02 am

Haz1558

And you'd need to be sure that people understand that you don't blow the pill into his nose.

5:03 am

sgams

Okay, also if he licks his nose its a sure sign its down the hatch

5:03 am

redturtlehead

Ahhh well, I just shove them down Teulus throat. No need for air blowing or anything. He hates it. The other thing i have done was open his capsules up andput them in food...

5:03 am

Atalante

not if the little brat has hidden it under their tongue ...

5:04 am

sgams

Ya, like those damn psych patients of mine!

5:04 am

Haz1558

FMitch has gone awfully quiet. I hope she's not rounding up the neighbourhood animals to try out a tablet experiment on them.

5:04 am

Atalante

they fool you. then spit it up 10 minutes later

5:04 am

sgams

Exactly Atalante

5:04 am

lizmac

I'm not getting any words here, going to drink my tea.

5:05 am

Atalante

and look smug. cats are very good at that

5:05 am

redturtlehead

Teulu is pretty darn good bout the pill thing, luckily he rarey takes them...

5:05 am

sgams

Mine are probably out of the streets selling their pills for dog bisquits....totally could see that happening

5:06 am

redturtlehead

Ata theres you again with that smug word...

5:06 am

Atalante

LOL sgams

5:06 am

Atalante

nothing looks smugger than a smug cat. except michael winner

5:06 am

Haz1558

Atalante is the queen of smug.

5:07 am

Haz1558

Yes, Michael Winner is the smug winner.

5:07 am

redturtlehead

Oh goodness, I still have 120 left...

5:07 am

Atalante

definitely

5:08 am

Atalante

I don't feel so smug today. Spaniel ears are sooo complicated to draw. I have 1 and a half left to do

5:08 am

Haz1558

But think of the smugness when you finish and have got it right.

5:08 am

redturtlehead

Well, keep pluggin away. I have 3 hourso f work left...

5:08 am

redturtlehead

and one patient in the department now, pretty ill...

5:09 am

Atalante

yes. that will be winner-esque levels, I think

5:09 am

sgams

How many dogs/cats etc do you guys all have. We have 5 dogs ranging from 1.5 yo to 18 yo and 100lbs down to 12 lbs and 5 cats from 3 yo to 18 yo

5:09 am

Atalante

wow! sorts? colours? names? tell all!

5:10 am

Angelsong

top o' the mornin, to ye, all me Babblin friends. May the blessings o' the Irish brighten the day for ye...on Saint Paddy's Day, all are a wee bit Irish!

5:10 am

Atalante

i have a dog - cocker spaniel called Hobbit - and a mad cat called Silverclaw who is almost smugger than Michael Winner

5:10 am

Haz1558

I'm always amazed that US owners classify their dogs by weight - I doubt whether most British owners would have much of a clue about their dog's weight.

5:10 am

Eva

my good sgams! What a wonderful menagerie! We only have the one handsome guy in my icon.

5:11 am

Eva

ionant

5:11 am

Angel - good morning.

5:11 am

Eva

sMea culpa maxima!!!

5:11 am

Atalante

Silverclaw is 3.4kg

5:11 am

Atalante

can I be smug now?

5:11 am

Haz1558

Okay, so Atalante is not typical!

5:11 am

Atalante

loooool :D

5:11 am

Eva

Merp is 15+ pounds

5:12 am

Haz1558

Yes, you can be as smug as you like!

5:12 am

Haz1558

I have a Welsh Springer Spaniel called Spangle. Zero idea about her weight, and this coming from a vet's wife!

5:13 am

sgams

Farley,Coonhound 12y, Jewels, Spaniel/Pointer 12y, Pepper Chihuahua Terrier 18yo, Valery Blue HeelerX 10y. and Crackers, Clancy, Marlin, Cloudy, and Purcy, Crackers is 18, Clancy 7 and the triplets are 3. Oh and Mr.Mr. the cockatiel who 5. Thats inside!!

5:13 am

Atalante

probably about 20kg. Well, Willow is that weight, so it should be about right

5:13 am

Atalante

you've got a heeler! you lucky thing!

5:14 am

Haz1558

Right, this isn't getting the chores done, so I'd better take my leave. It's a lovely grid, so far - back later to finish!

5:14 am

Atalante

and go and weigh spangle! :P

5:15 am

Haz1558

We'll live in blissful ignorance!

5:15 am

sgams

Oh my I forgot Sparky the Terrier/Dashschund he's 1.5 oops, outside we have goats, 2 alpacas and 2 rabbits and a whole whack of chickens and 11 geese

5:15 am

Atalante

LOL :)

5:15 am

Haz1558

Byeee!

5:16 am

Eva

do you have a farm sgams?

5:16 am

Atalante

alpacas!

5:16 am

sgams

Yeah, suppose you could say that 5 acres.

5:16 am

Eva

where are you?

5:16 am

Eva

bang

5:17 am

sgams

West coast of Canada, BC, Vancouver Island

5:17 am

Eva

there I go again!)-{

5:17 am

Atalante

and the same to you, eva!

5:17 am

Atalante

do you have the alpacas as pets or for fur / something else?

5:18 am

sgams

mostly pets... we do sheer them of course and I have sold the fur BUT mostly to be honest I use their poop for all my gardens

5:18 am

Atalante

wool! I mean wool!

5:19 am

Atalante

ooo alpaca manure!

5:19 am

Eva

almost time to start seedlings. Hard to convince myself of that when there's still 4 feet of snow on the vegetable beds.

5:19 am

sgams

Well actually it is more like fur, wool is sheep

5:19 am

Atalante

fur just sounded like you were going to skin them and make them into jackets *facepalm*

5:20 am

Angelsong

ahem, morning/afternoon, all

5:20 am

sgams

Alpaca manure is excellent, and yup, I have my little grow lights working full time, our growing season is coming up pretty quick here, already have peas and broad beans and radishes and oriental greens in the ground.

5:21 am

Eva

oh fits of jealousy....you must be in one of those coastal temperate zones.

5:22 am

sgams

Little broccoli and cauliflower and celery and leek shoots coming up every where

5:22 am

herinfernallady

Top of the morn to you

5:22 am

Eva

We'll start seendlings indoors in a week or two, then transplant to cold frames on first of May and hope all goes well.

5:23 am

sgams

Ya, its is definitely pretty warm here...but definitely not like subtropical or anything, lots of rain, and the like, but snow is mostly only in Dec Jan

5:24 am

sgams

Well thats actually pretty common timing....I just happen to be kind of a die hard and actually grow probably 60-70% of our food, including wheat and barley etc.

5:27 am

herinfernallady

Hi

5:27 am

sgams

hello

5:28 am

herinfernallady

Hi Sgams where do you live in the world? I noticed that you grow your own food

5:28 am

sgams

Yuppers, and happily I might add LOL, West Coast of Canada, Vancouver Island

5:29 am

herinfernallady

NIce

5:29 am

sgams

Ya, its pretty nice here, I like it,lol

5:30 am

herinfernallady

I wouldn't mind the middle of no where b.f would

5:31 am

Eva

going to build mini greenhouses for the first time this year, because I'm tired of having a 60 day (maybe) growing season here in Vermont! And this year I'm going to distress my deer friends and put up a 7 foot electric fence. They just don't know how to share and share alike.

5:31 am

herinfernallady

HI EVE

5:31 am

Eva

hi herin

5:31 am

sgams

Ya, I hear that alot...one or the other partner is against it....we are sort of middle of nowwhere but we do get into town at least a couple times a week. Don't have to worry about the bf thing, just me and mom and my 16 yo

5:32 am

herinfernallady

Eva can you still feed the deer elsewhere

5:32 am

pinkhatlil

morning all!!

5:32 am

Eva

morning pink

hey eva and herin!

5:33 am

herinfernallady

HI PInk

5:33 am

kje

gm, I have 30 minutes before I should start to get ready for work - it looks long

5:33 am

Eva

Well, they'll still eat much of my perennial gardens, unfortunately. It is illegal to feed them intentionally - the deer population gets too big, they starve, and there are also growing concerns as lyme disease spreads from the south.

5:33 am

pinkhatlil

hi kje!

5:34 am

herinfernallady

Eva Bambi tastes good though

5:34 am

herinfernallady

Hi Kje

5:34 am

Eva

never like venison herin. Too gamey for me.

5:34 am

sgams

That is one creature we have NONE of here, everyone else complains bitterly about deer here, not us, because there isn't any!. Eva, could you try cold hardy veggies---there is about 55 varieties of veggies that grow perfect down to -15, might extend your crops...but YES, cold frames work like a charm

5:35 am

kje

oooh, love venison - steaks, sausage, jerky

5:36 am

kje

haven't had it in years though - broke up with the hunter

5:36 am

Eva

yes we do use the cold hardy veggies, but I don't like being confined to those.But do you have particular favorite varieties you'd suggest?

5:36 am

herinfernallady

I only agree to killing an animal if you are to eat it not for fun

5:36 am

kje

agree

5:38 am

Eva

Mainly I do tomatoes, huge amounts of basil, squash of all kinds, snow peas, chard, kale, lettuce (found a wonderufl Israeli variety which grows even in summer heat), sometimes potatoes, strawberries, peppers (which last summer never got red), sometimes a few melons, beans.

5:38 am

sgams

Yes, Eva, collards, kale, certain onions (walla walla are great in the cold) cabbage, rutabaga, leeks, there are certian lettuces that are made for the cold, parsnips, I've even found a carrot mmmm, Campestra, that hold well, chards.

5:39 am

Eva

Campestra. Never heard of it before. I'll look it up.

5:39 am

sgams

Well that sounds excellent to me Eva, I figure any amount you can grow yourself and enjoy the wonderful nutrition from is GREAT in my books

5:41 am

Eva

Last year I grew a bunch of baby klari cheese peppers which looked very cute and were advertised as being delicious to pop into one's mouth, but were, in reality, very thick walled with not flavor at all - really meant for pickling.

5:41 am

sgams

Not mention of course, the closer to home you can get your food obviously the better....but thats a whole other dimsion

5:42 am

sgams

Oh, I have some of those to grow this year! Often peppers have a hard time here BUT heres hoping, giving them all the fair chances I can for producing

5:42 am

sgams

Good to know maybe good for adding into salsa

5:43 am

redturtlehead

BACK FOR A MOMENT...

5:44 am

Eva

And last year the deer ate all thre squash blossoms, so the squash had to go through a whole nother cycle and was very late and sparse, not to mention savaging the beets, kale, chard, and even a few peppers. I'm hoping that with the little home made greeenhouses giving us another month or two we may have more luck with the peppers. The summer before last we had a wonderful crop of red peppers, which are my favorite.That reminds me that i really should grow some jalepenos and try some poblanos for making salsa.

5:44 am

redturtlehead

oops shouting it. sorry

5:45 am

redturtlehead

I love red peppers and those yellow tomatos. the small ones... yum yum.

5:46 am

sgams

MMMMMM, sounds good to me, totally forgot about "Winterkeeper" Beets. I have yet to meet a pepper I haven't loved, but yes, red ones are soooooo good!

5:47 am

Eva

thee sungold are my favorite! Had zillions of them last year. Have found that the red plastic really helps with the tomatoes. Also letting them get very leggy as seedlings and then burying all of that stalk horizontally. The plants develop root systems like phone cables!

5:47 am

redturtlehead

Uh oh, finding no more words, but there are aton more in the grid.

5:48 am

kje

yep, me too, 117 left and I'm just staring at letters

5:48 am

sgams

I have found that the key to a successful "winter" or late fall garden is to make sure you are planning and planting it in July, and early August.

5:48 am

redturtlehead

kje, i have 116 left, we are together...

5:48 am

Eva

yes, I always forget to plan for that second crop.

5:49 am

herinfernallady

Ok back

5:49 am

sgams

Now thats an interesting idea Eva, have to keep that in mind!

5:49 am

kje

I have 11 minutes before I should shower - or maybe I won't : )

5:49 am

Eva

okay, going to try to snooze a bit more. See you later.

5:49 am

herinfernallady

the dear were hungry

5:49 am

redturtlehead

bye Eva, good luck with your garden...

5:50 am

sgams

Tomatoes are definitely NOT my forte. Mom can't grow heather or an azalea for the life of her, and I have a heck of a time with tomatos

5:50 am

o-o

my forte is growing old ... quite accomplished at it

5:51 am

redturtlehead

My neighbours did these upside down tomatos, and had some marginal success with them, the right side up ones did better.

5:51 am

kje

we grow tomatos in pots - works out well

5:51 am

redturtlehead

Still in Spain BR?

5:51 am

herinfernallady

I want to grow Tomatoes of 2 varietys :D

Guinness claims it is Canberra day too..but I swear someone was ceebrating it on here a few weeks ago. Strange. Cuz that is when I learned Canberra is the capital of Australia

8:34 am

SamanthaJoy

I'm sorry, but why in god's name is "teabag" not in the dictionary?

8:35 am

pabtrek

the sneeze counts

8:35 am

Vicuna

Because it's a stupid dictionary?

8:35 am

SamanthaJoy

You know, I thought it was a rhetorical question, but those are two very good answers

8:35 am

SamanthaJoy

"stupid dictionary" and "sneeze counts". I like it.

8:36 am

pabtrek

LOL

8:36 am

Vicuna

But you can sneeze only once. Pl doesn't count.

8:37 am

SamanthaJoy

. . . As a wise man once said, that's because it's a stupid dictionary

8:37 am

Vicuna

=D

8:38 am

Vicuna

Right now my complaint is the lack of reba5/16. Trust me, when you have little kids, you know what it is to have to reba5 what was clean just a minute ago.

8:38 am

SamanthaJoy

hee hee

8:39 am

EvaNadine

8:44 am

Scarlet

Happy Monday to all, and Happy St. Paddy's to all who celebrate! :-)

8:45 am

SamanthaJoy

I'm wearing orange today

8:45 am

SamanthaJoy

It typically either gets me beaten up or moved to the front of the lines, but damnit, WE'RE IRISH TOO!

8:45 am

Scarlet

Hi, Samantha... you must like to go against the grain!

8:46 am

pabtrek

hi Scarlet

8:46 am

Scarlet

Hi, pab! :-) {hugs}

8:47 am

Scarlet

That's why I love my country, Samantha... freedom of expression, whether someone agrees or not, it's our right!

8:47 am

Haz1558

Don't forget, Samantha, that the orange in the tricolour is intentionally there.

8:48 am

Haz1558

And good morning/afternoon all.

8:48 am

Scarlet

Good day, Haz! Is this date as big a deal in Ireland (other than the true Saint's day) as it is in the United States?

8:48 am

SamanthaJoy

Yes, Haz, and I appreciate it

8:48 am

pabtrek

hi Haz

8:49 am

SamanthaJoy

Well, Scarlet, yes it is, but that's largely because Ireland has a tourist industry that demands it. It didn't *used* to be but now it is.

8:49 am

Scarlet

And, another question, whilst I am picking your brains, do the Protestants celebrate any of it?

8:49 am

Haz1558

Hello Scarlet, pabtrek, Samantha. St Patrick's Day is becoming more celebrated now than it used to be, but I don't think we go to the same lengths as some parts of the world.

8:50 am

Scarlet

Three of our cities have gone green for centuries... the New York City parade has gone on now for 246 years! Chicago and Scranton, PA are huge celebrators also...

8:50 am

Haz1558

Some do, some don't Scarlet. In the past there has been a feeling that St Patrick has been hijacked by one section of the community (I'm talking Northern Ireland here) but people now seem to be more inclined to say - He's for everyone.

8:50 am

SamanthaJoy

Heh. My answer stands. When the tourists are looking, we're celebratin' as hard as the next man

8:51 am

SamanthaJoy

Something about "knowing which side our bread is buttered on"

8:51 am

westford

hi scarl sam and haz

8:52 am

SamanthaJoy

Hi y'all

8:52 am

pabtrek

bbl, gotta go

8:52 am

Haz1558

I have to admit, I do have a laugh at all the shamrocks and leprechauns and things. They're strictly tourist items.

8:52 am

Scarlet

In Asheville, other than a standard school lesson, there is virtually no acknowledgment of the day. LOL, Samantha... very funny. After having lived in Scranton, I would hide on the St. Paddy's Day weekend... too many drunks and way too much rowdiness. HI, Westford!

8:52 am

westford

don't forget Southie in Boston scarl

8:53 am

Scarlet

Of course, west! The Southies are some of the original celebration makers!! Boston is Irish through and through! The Celtics? LOL

8:53 am

westford

they say the name wrong though

8:54 am

SamanthaJoy

We're Americans. We specialize in that.

8:54 am

Scarlet

Haz, I have lived in a city wherein the women dye their hair green, the leprechauns are little deely-bobber head bands with green, sparkly antennae, and everyone indulges in green beer! I know westford... but Irish is Irish! :-)

8:54 am

westford

Americans are from everywhere and I am Irish for today

8:55 am

Haz1558

Mercy!

8:55 am

Scarlet

We have always pronounced it KEL-tics... not sell-tics...

8:55 am

westford

did you hear about the river in Chigago?

8:55 am

westford

make that Chicago

8:56 am

silversarah

its st patricks day?

8:56 am

Scarlet

Green every year!

8:56 am

westford

it is

8:56 am

Haz1558

Yes, 17 March every year.

8:56 am

westford

it's really really green lol

8:56 am

silversarah

lol

8:56 am

silversarah

im in england, i usually see some guiness hats and green faces

8:57 am

westford

saw a woman on TV making colcannon the other day

8:57 am

Haz1558

I'm guessing there are no leprechauns dancing down your street today?

8:57 am

Atalante

the day snakes fear every year

8:57 am

westford

I might try it looks really good

8:57 am

Scarlet

I do love to see the pipe bands...

8:57 am

silversarah

no and im sitting in a shop in a city

8:57 am

silversarah

no and im sitting in a shop in a city

8:57 am

Scarlet

Good morning/afternoon, Ata. Poor snakes.

8:57 am

silversarah

probably see them later

8:57 am

Haz1558

Not a one left. It's great.

8:57 am

westford

is that true, there are no snakes?

8:58 am

teamrivas

hi all! question.... so Nana is a word - but Tech isn't???

8:58 am

silversarah

tbh i dont celelbrate it because im not irish, i wouldnt expect the irish to celebrate like canada day, or st georges day etc

8:58 am

SamanthaJoy

Actually, this year it was Saint Patrick's Day last Friday, or didn't y'all know that?

8:58 am

westford

they must have moved to Australia did you see Lickety's video?

8:58 am

Scarlet

Asheville is another breed of city altogether... Haz, we have no parades and no particular attachment to any obvious holiday here... We have African culture weekends, Jamaica celebrations, and every culture you can imagine, but not a St. Paddy's Day observance... I am NOT complaining!

8:58 am

silversarah

i have a calender right here i just checked

8:59 am

Haz1558

team - add a sometimes vowel to the te word, but don't forget that you're not supposed to put words in the log...

8:59 am

SamanthaJoy

team, you're right, but add a vowel to "tech" and you're got a word!

8:59 am

teamrivas

ty sam!

8:59 am

Haz1558

And west, it's true,we have no snakes at all. A worm is the biggest we could muster.

8:59 am

SamanthaJoy

sarah, the calendar makers may not have consulted the Vatican, but this year, St. Patrick's day is officially not on March 17. it was last Friday.

9:00 am

westford

sounds like my kind of place lol

9:00 am

Scarlet

That's because a High Mass was not permitted to be observed during Holy Week, so there was a little retro-manipulation going on.

9:01 am

teamrivas

haz - i won't do that again. promise!

9:01 am

silversarah

since when did the vatican get green and drink?

9:01 am

Haz1558

The Vatican probably didn't realise how pigheaded and stubborn Irish people are.

9:01 am

westford

I'll bet they did!

9:01 am

Haz1558

Good to hear, team, I know it was unintentional.

9:02 am

silversarah

im having a house party othis weekend whos coming?

9:02 am

SamanthaJoy

Sarah, it's SAINT Patrick's Day. The Vatican does have a say.

9:02 am

silversarah

alright alright i was only kidding sam

9:02 am

teamrivas

haz - i get a little frustrated when i know words are words and babble doesn

9:02 am

silversarah

chill, get drunk

9:02 am

teamrivas

know they're words

9:02 am

Scarlet

The true Irish people in this country go to Mass, have a family dinner and revisit the agony of the original imigres... especially in Scranton, where coal was king for a few hundred years... those poor miners had the most difficult and deadly jobs of any in NE Pennsylvania.

9:02 am

westford

I've always heard St.Patrick's Day in Ireland is solely a religious holiday

9:03 am

Haz1558

It's not so much babble, as the enable dictionary. You just have to go with the flow.

9:03 am

westford

Oh the praties they grow small over here

9:03 am

SamanthaJoy

Hey now. I will remind you that OCD also stands for Official Catholic Doctrine, and people with OCD can get uptight about either definition. :)

9:03 am

Scarlet

LOL, Samantha!

9:03 am

Haz1558

Yes, but the potato famine was in the 1840's, a long time after St Patrick.

9:04 am

Scarlet

The old folks still speak of it with tears on their cheeks, Haz.

9:04 am

westford

Don't know how it is there but here the Irish have very long memories

9:04 am

SamanthaJoy

I just finished the REs! Glory Hallelujah!

9:04 am

silversarah

im an athiest pure and true , but with mild ocd... shame it dosent affect my tidiness

9:04 am

westford

good job sam

9:05 am

silversarah

im finding todays puzzle a struggle

9:05 am

Haz1558

Oh I know, long memories are handed down from generation to generation.

9:05 am

westford

I love the music I'll say that

9:05 am

SamanthaJoy

sarah, I'm a confirmed atheist myself, with more than mild OCD. And thank you, westford

9:05 am

westford

and just about all my Irish friends can't stand it

9:05 am

Scarlet

Exactly, Haz. The struggles of any people are kept alive in the oral traditions...

9:06 am

silversarah

wicked

9:06 am

Haz1558

It depends who's playing and how long any particular tune goes on for. After three hours of one jig, most people are begging for mercy.

9:06 am

SamanthaJoy

octane. I know it's not a word but I keep typing it.

9:06 am

westford

lol

9:07 am

Scarlet

I can take just a wee bit of it, and then I head for the door. "Oh, Danny Boy" makes me scream for mercy immediately... Same with "Auld Lang Syne"... I've used all my patience and endurance for both of them...

9:08 am

Haz1558

Oh, I can tolerate Danny Boy quite well. It's the diddley-dee-diddley da music that I have to ration.

9:09 am

Scarlet

I heard "Molly Malone" the other day, and ran for cover... The diddley-dee-dee music is what makes this rational person indulge in a primal scream, Haz...

Scarlet

What is that, Samantha? St. Jame's Infirmary?

9:10 am

westford

For the great Gaels of Ireland
Are the men that God made mad,
For all their wars are merry,
And all their songs are sad

9:10 am

Scarlet

Is the the New Orlean's Jazz festival rock-out? With brass, horns and rollicking dancing?

9:11 am

Haz1558

Some Percy French songs are quite cheerful, though.

9:11 am

SamanthaJoy

It's actually an American song that Louis Armstrong made famous, but somehow it's been coopted by Irsh groups

9:11 am

cheeky

interesting, when i worked in real estate development, we had a thing we called re6,18age which was a term of art for us, even the bankers used it, and which must not be a real word because it would be the only 9 letter word of the day. re9. too bad.

Guten Morgen, Freundin Inge! Wie geht es heute?

9:39 am

Haz1558

ag7 - ag, first three letters of a facial feature, finish with two vowels

9:39 am

Haz1558

To rhyme (vaguely) with a food of the gods, or a brand of creamed rice....

9:40 am

Scrabbler

I got it, I got it, Hazel! At first I was confused.

9:40 am

Haz1558

Or, ag , a male descendant backwards, two vowels to finish.

9:40 am

Haz1558

Glad it worked, Scrabbler.

9:41 am

Scrabbler

I am so simple--I get excited when I grasp a clue.

Hello Haz and Scrabbler

9:47 am

Scrabbler

So what is St Patrick's Day like in Ireland? Madness and pandemonium?

9:47 am

redturtlehead

Joansie, I hope you like snow, I would have cried...

9:47 am

carleekat

its a time factor...

9:47 am

Haz1558

Yes, because he's not the most decorative man around.

9:47 am

pinkhatlil

Hello Red!

9:48 am

Scrabbler

Do some and have fun with us, Carlee. How was your son's hockey tournament?

9:48 am

Haz1558

I think St Patrick's day in Ireland is probably a much more sedate affair than in other places.

9:48 am

joansiebone

i've been crying all winter

9:48 am

redturtlehead

no, but he is so talented...

9:48 am

redturtlehead

Happy green day

9:51 am

Haz1558

The celebrations laid on here by the local council include buses to the foot of Slemish for people to climb, entertainment at the local showgrounds etc. Having said that, not all the schools are off and it's not a public holiday in the north.

9:52 am

Scarlet

LOL, red... 'tis okay... I'll answer to anything!

9:52 am

carleekat

( red did u get my email? )

Hello Orange.

9:54 am

Scrabbler

Carlee has a magic purple crayon that makes words disappear, like the REs. We are ever so grateful when she does that.

9:55 am

carleekat

why did I start this grid?

9:55 am

Scarlet

The Bishop of the Scranton Diocese is Irish mother and Italian father... he gets to party it up for all the holidays! And, if you know Scranton, you know the "tales". Darned phone again!

9:55 am

Haz1558

Because other people told you to. carlle. I didn't.

9:56 am

carleekat

redturtlehead

Carlee, I am assuming you are talking to Scarlet, and not me, but if you are talking to me, no.

ba6/24 - the slogan of the Mr 007 Fleming's non-appreciation society.

9:58 am

9:58 am

Scrabbler

Good clue, Hazel. TY.

9:58 am

redturtlehead

9:58 am

Scarlet

There are four "reds" in here... redshoes, moi, redturtle and another, whose name escapes me now.

9:59 am

Haz1558

And it plurals, Scrabler.

Scrabbler

TY again Hazel

9:59 am

10:04 am

redturtlehead

I fed the horse down the road! It was sort ofscary for me as I am afraid of horses, but he didnt bite me,however,he isn'tsurper gentle either... He took a long timesniffing the apple piece and then snatched it formmy hand...

10:04 am

OrangeCat

10:04 am

harpjane

10:04 am

Atalante

choo choo is a word!

10:04 am

harpjane

10:05 am

Scrabbler

Neat-O, RTH! Horses are beautiful animals, but big and kind of scary to be near.

10:05 am

Scarlet

Haz!! Movieman's icon is wearing the deely-bobbers I was telling you about earlier... now, think of three thousand people wearing them...

10:05 am

Scrabbler

MM, how did you take OrangeCat's picture?

10:05 am

redturtlehead

Yes,I was overly proud of me!

10:05 am

harpjane

Butte Montana is downright scary on st patrick's day

10:06 am

Haz1558

I'm thinking.... This is one of the first years that I've noticed St Patrick's day stuff in the shops. I have an awful feeling that most of it was made in China.

10:06 am

Atalante

and Korea

10:06 am

Scarlet

Heresy!!

10:06 am

Scrabbler

Out here in the country, when driving, I sometimes stop on the road to go up to a fence and talk to cows or horses and watch them. There is also a sheep farm.

10:06 am

redturtlehead

I love cows, but not really too keen onhorses, so big and unpredictable...

10:06 am

Scrabbler

Buffalo, New York goes crazy before and during St Patrick's Day.

10:07 am

Scarlet

I am afraid of horses too, red. I've ridden for years... or rather, I did way back when. I prefer cows.

10:07 am

carleekat

there... in keeping with the theme

10:07 am

Scarlet

Not to saddle up, though... Yea for kattie!

10:07 am

Atalante

cows are ok. bulls are not

10:07 am

redturtlehead

he snorted at me very loudly when we passed again,not sure what that meant.

10:07 am

Scarlet

No bulls.

10:07 am

Haz1558

It can depend on the breed of cattle, some cows can be nasty.

10:08 am

Jayde287

I pass cows everyday on my way to and fromjust about anywhere here in Vermont

10:08 am

movieman

Scrabs, I just looked up the picture using Google images

10:08 am

Scrabbler

he wanted another apple, RTH.

10:08 am

redturtlehead

true, and very stubborn.

10:08 am

Atalante

they can certainly look menacing

10:08 am

carleekat

i remember seeing a little calf at a country fair... was so little still wanted to suck..started sucking my fi gers...hubby was disgusted..i thought was cute..and sad

10:08 am

10:08 am

harpjane

10:08 am

Scarlet

Kattie... are you in here? Did you purple out the grid already?

10:08 am

Scrabbler

10:09 am

redturtlehead

10:09 am

Scrabbler

I know, MM, but I was joking because OrangeCat is on with us now.

10:09 am

Scarlet

I like calves too, kattie... but had my heart broken when I did a story on veal farmers! Horrible~

10:09 am

Haz1558

te5/18 - looks like t is missing from an annoyed word

10:09 am

harpjane

10:12 am

Scrabbler

That is my one nephew's fave, Westford--a groupie!

10:12 am

Atalante

university is fuuun!

10:12 am

Uniquity

U2 is good, but I can never take that much. Only one or two of my favourites..

10:12 am

Scarlet

Nah... you are woman... I can hear you roaring from here, Uni!

10:12 am

Uniquity

Ata, not at NS prices!

10:12 am

carleekat

oh.. i may have finally found a shamrock shaped cookie cutter

10:12 am

westford

they are so bad they're good

10:12 am

Haz1558

te5/12 - te plus a word meaning bashful, but replace one consonant with another.

10:12 am

debjed

clue for the Y?

10:12 am

Uniquity

Lori has one Carlee, borrow hers!

10:12 am

Scarlet

The Chieftans always make it to Scranton in the early Spring, Haz... they sell out~!

10:12 am

westford

my granddaughter sent me a CD of Flogging Molly too

10:12 am

Atalante

oh ... I didn't have to pay for my 3 years!

10:12 am

movieman

Nope, Haz, but I could put one or two of their songs on there

10:13 am

Uniquity

Oh, I am Very much paying for mine...7-8 grand a year and I am on student loans.

10:13 am

Scrabbler

Aha, I got it, Hazel. TY!

10:13 am

Haz1558

They've been going for donkey's years, Scarlet with many changes of line up. It was very sad when Derek Bell died.

10:13 am

westford

I see that late night O'Brien in the grid

10:13 am

Atalante

ick ick

10:13 am

carleekat

a little far red...

10:13 am

Uniquity

If I didn't pay, I would enjoy this so much more! I might also never leave....

10:13 am

Scrabbler

Flogging Molly? Ouch!

10:13 am

Haz1558

Glad you got there, Scrabbler.

10:14 am

movieman

The late lead singer of Nirvana is in the grid

10:14 am

Scrabbler

If I were wealthy I would be a continual uni student.

10:14 am

Scarlet

They are huge in Scranton, Haz... as was The Lord of the

10:14 am

Atalante

me too, scrabs

10:14 am

westford

saw him there too

10:14 am

Scarlet

Dance... Flatley... although I personally could not abide him...

10:15 am

Scrabbler

So much to learn, so little time.

10:15 am

Scarlet

Loved the dance, he was another matter.

10:15 am

Haz1558

There was an interesting documentary on TV about the Chieftains. The little metrognome, Paddy Moloney is very much the leader of the band.

10:15 am

westford

he really is too full of himself scarl

10:15 am

Scarlet

Amen, Scrabbler!

10:15 am

Haz1558

Michael Flatley would be fine if he just danced and kept his mouth shut.

10:15 am

Scarlet

I know, westford... too much ego and negativity...

10:15 am

Scrabbler

Haha, metrognome---funny!

10:15 am

Scarlet

He is the comedian of the bunch, right, Haz?

10:16 am

westford

that's too funny haz never could come up with a proper name for him

10:16 am

Scarlet

But... he never does, does he, Haz? The man makes me so uncomfortable.

10:16 am

carleekat

hey is great big Sea still pop out east uni?

10:16 am

westford

love the Chieftans and all their guest singers

10:16 am

Haz1558

He's the little one who plays the tin whistle and the pipes. The name was given him by one of the sound men who travels with them - because he keeps such good time.

10:17 am

westford

listening to Tommy Makem ( RIP ) singing a song about Australia

10:17 am

Scarlet

Oh, the energy!

10:17 am

Uniquity

I'm sure to some Carlee, but not to me (Never liked them). I thought they went into semi-retirement?

10:17 am

westford

Wild Colonial Boy

10:17 am

Haz1558

No, Scarlet, Mr Flatley likes the sound of his own voice far too much for my liking. And it's such a weird accent as well.

10:17 am

carleekat

bummer.. i rather enjoyed them...

10:17 am

carleekat

this grid...is horrible

10:17 am

Atalante

he has dodgy hair too

10:18 am

westford

his was the best River Dance though

10:18 am

Scarlet

I meant the Chieftan's little guy as the comedian, Haz... I don't think Mr. Flatley has a sense of humor.

10:18 am

Haz1558

Well, he did invent it so I suppose he's entitled to be best.

10:18 am

Scarlet

River d

10:18 am

Scarlet

Dance is well worth the time to see and enjoy. Once is enough.

10:18 am

Haz1558

Yes, Paddy Moloney is a bit of a comedian.

10:19 am

Scarlet

LOL, Haz... I had wondered for years what the heck that was... now I know. Nothing!

10:19 am

westford

about 10 years ago we were in a little shop in Galway I was buying sweaters and my husband was talking with the owner's old mother

10:19 am

Scarlet

This is good, west....

10:19 am

westford

she was telling all about Michael (big fan apparently ) and she said 'He's not bad to look at either"

10:20 am

Scrabbler

Carlee, enjoy the chat, don't worry about the word search.

10:20 am

Haz1558

Did you avoid making sick noises?

10:20 am

Scarlet

Ack!

10:20 am

Scrabbler

Eeewww, Westford

10:20 am

carleekat

( Irish guys..just...don't do it for me..nor the accent... its the highlanders that do it for me)

10:20 am

westford

tried not to laugh until we were out of there

10:20 am

Haz1558

Ah but there are lots of different Irish accents. We're bound to find one that suits.

10:21 am

westford

he's a Galway boy0

10:21 am

Scrabbler

I like tall, dark, hairy Italian guys.

10:21 am

Scarlet

Oh, yes, the Scots and the Aussie accents are verboten to my daughter... too enchanting... LOL

10:21 am

Haz1558

I thought he was born in the States?

10:21 am

Atalante

I'll never forget seeing a cross-stitch kit of Daniel o'Donnell

carra

Hi Everyone!

11:42 am

jbp

11:42 am

Jacula

jbp - If you look in Atalante's Flickr pics you'll see a host of 'Cartlandised' Babblers.

11:43 am

11:44 am

flosey

11:45 am

Jacula

Hello carra.

11:45 am

11:45 am

cybernan

11:45 am

Jacula

Congrats, Montreal.

11:46 am

Haz1558

Vicuna

Congratulations, Montreal!

11:46 am

montreal13

11:46 am

frantique

11:46 am

Vicuna

That Seainella is quite a sight.

11:46 am

bubba218

be7 what you do in vegas + the r*** in spain + second vowel

11:46 am

Jacula

I bet Lickey'd be up for the makeover.

11:46 am

montreal13

we have 4 grandsons..

11:47 am

Atalante

I didn't *ask* anyone, people volunteered for some reason!

11:47 am

montreal13

tx nan, Vi and frantique

11:47 am

Haz1558

be7 - run together be4/6 with the last letters of what you make from grapes

11:47 am

Vicuna

"Any publicity is good publicity"?

11:48 am

Jacula

Ata - Come to think of it.... YOU haven't had a makeover yet.

11:48 am

Vicuna

"Negative attention is better than no attention"?

11:48 am

montreal13

just stopped by to say hello to my fellow babblers - must now go back to work - happy babbling all - "POOF"

11:48 am

Atalante

told you there were still a few victims left!

11:48 am

Haz1558

A good point, well made, Jacula.

11:48 am

Haz1558

Bye montreal - have a good day and be safe.

11:48 am

cybernan

ty haz

11:49 am

Atalante

3, at least

11:49 am

Vicuna

I think when Ata's evil work is finished, each of her victims should be permitted to do her in return.

11:49 am

Atalante

hey don't blame me! Blame Haz - I mean fm. It was her idea! I just made it reality :P

11:50 am

Haz1558

I rather think you're right, Ata. It was FM's idea, wasn't it?

11:50 am

Jacula

*Keeps quiet about the fact that it was Jac talking about BC the began it all.*

11:50 am

Atalante

of course

11:51 am

Jacula

*Looks around. 'Phew! Think I got away with it.'*

11:51 am

Haz1558

Yes, careless talk costs lives.

11:51 am

Atalante

there. loads of people to blame apart from me!

11:51 am

carleekat

ok..salt dough shamrocks in the oven on convection

11:52 am

Jacula

Don't you mean 'lines', Haz? ROFLOL

11:52 am

Haz1558

Very true, Jacula!

11:52 am

frantique

blows kisses.. later all

11:52 am

Vicuna

Ata is hereby declared wholly innocent from any responsibility for her actions.

11:52 am

Haz1558

Bye frantique.

11:53 am

Jacula

'Bye, frantique.

11:53 am

Atalante

ty Vi. I knew you were a lovely person. Now just wait till you get Cartlanded ...

11:53 am

Haz1558

Is this you exercising your regal authority, Vicuna?

11:53 am

flosey

Fireworks, at long last

11:53 am

Haz1558

Congratulations flosey!

11:53 am

Vicuna

I'm sure I will be truly lovely then. *ulp*

11:53 am

Jacula

Well done, flosey.

11:53 am

Vicuna

Yay for flosey!

11:54 am

Atalante

hopefully I should get a chance to do you tomorrow ... *grin*

11:54 am

Vicuna

No, Haz, merely reflecting the will of the people.

11:54 am

flosey

May I be cartlanded Jac? I'd love to send it to my kids

11:54 am

Haz1558

Er, when was the vote taken?

11:54 am

Atalante

email me a pic flosey!

11:54 am

Haz1558

A volunteer! Flosey, you are a star!

11:54 am

flosey

sorry, no I mean Ata

11:54 am

Vicuna

Just now. You and jac and Ata were all in clear agreement that everything was FM's fault, as usual.

11:55 am

flosey

ok, thanks

11:55 am

Jacula

flosey - Ata's doing the 'official' makeovers. I just did a one-off Warhol version on Haz. e-mail a good clear photo to Ata.

11:55 am

Haz1558

Can we blame FM for Michael Flatley?

11:55 am

Atalante

of course!!

11:55 am

Vicuna

Indubitably.

11:55 am

Jacula

Definitely!

11:56 am

Haz1558

What a burden that woman carries.

11:56 am

Haz1558

He's not even Irish.

11:56 am

Vicuna

She's strong.

11:56 am

Atalante

thats just a disgrace

11:56 am

Vicuna

Neither is FM< so it all hangs together.

11:57 am

Haz1558

But was she born in the States like him?

11:57 am

Atalante

she has friends there ...

11:57 am

Haz1558

Just think. All this time the States has been blaming Ireland for Michael Flatley and he's one of them.

11:57 am

Vicuna

Haz, Haz, Haz, either one is Irish or one is not Irish.

11:58 am

Jacula

It must be her fault then... I mean... she has friends th5/12.

11:58 am

Haz1558

But he wasn't born in Ireland - so why the silly accent?

11:58 am

Vicuna

FM's general culpability notwithstanding, I think most of the world is in happy agreement that everything can be blamed on the USA.

11:58 am

Atalante

Jamie Oliver wasn't born in the East End ... so why the equally silly accent?

11:59 am

Jacula

Haz - I wondered that about Ned Kelly in both versions of the film. He actually said he'd never been to Ireland.

11:59 am

Vicuna

Irish accents are fun. If I had a good excuse I'd fake one, too.

12:00 pm

Haz1558

Maybe people (like Flatley) just use the accent for convenience?

12:00 pm

Vicuna

Convenience? You mean, the better to solicit pots of gold?

12:01 pm

Jacula

An accent of convenience? That's an intriguing concept.

12:01 pm

caitlyn

Afternoon all (or should I say in my best Irish accent,top of the morning to you)

12:01 pm

Atalante

much more likely

12:01 pm

Haz1558

Yes - to convince people that you're from the old country.

12:01 pm

Atalante

begorrah begorrah!

12:01 pm

Haz1558

(I've never heard an Irishman saying 'top of the morning'!

12:02 pm

Atalante

whats that got to do with the price of fish, haz?

12:02 pm

caitlyn

My friends from Ireland do say that Haz

12:02 pm

Atalante

its obviously an Irish saying!

12:02 pm

Haz1558

I mustn't be rubbing shoulders with the right people!

12:02 pm

Atalante

bet Flatley says it

12:02 pm

Jacula

I could name 3 entertainers who fake Brummie accents. It's not that they don't come from Birmingham but they don't come from the areas that speak like 'Marlene' or 'Barry' from Auf Weidersehen Pet'.

12:03 pm

Haz1558

Ah, to be sure, he does!

12:03 pm

Deeha

Wouldnt they say 'its yourself?'!

12:03 pm

Haz1558

I would say 'it's yourself' if I met someone I hadn't seen for a while.

12:04 pm

caitlyn

Surely people would know its themselves !!LOL

12:04 pm

Haz1558

Who are the fake Brummies? And are they rejects from Crossroads (the Noele Gordon original)?

12:04 pm

Jacula

Do people really add, 'so you do/so he does' to the end of every other sentence like Corrie's Jim MacDonald does? My guess is that they don't.

12:05 pm

Haz1558

Not if they had escaped from the home for the bewildered, caitlyn

12:05 pm

Vicuna

They did in Belfast, Jacs!

12:05 pm

caitlyn

LOL Haz

12:05 pm

Scarlet

Hi, all. We have the resident computer whizzes here now... so, help, please. My mail window is half-sized and I cannot get it to conform to full screen resolution. I have double-clicked on the blue border atop the page... with the Yahoo Mail identity. I have tried to click on the icon to re-size the box, but it is faded and will not take any command. What am I doning wrong, and what can I do to make the little critter behave itself? And, no gremlins or little people are loose on my desktop... I think!

12:05 pm

Jacula

Caitlyn - No stranger than saying, 'You've had your hair cut!' to someone. Like they'd been to the hair salon in their sleep??

12:05 pm

Haz1558

Jacula - some people do (in Belfast, yes!) and it's infuriating.

12:05 pm

Deeha

I think they do and they also say 'he turned round to me and said...' 'so I turned round to 'im and said........' Must be an awful lot of dizzy people about

12:06 pm

Deeha

Or Jac when you come in soaked they say 'is it raining?'

12:06 pm

Atalante

click on the bottom right hand of the window, there should be some /// marks. and drag it outwards

12:06 pm

Haz1558

My father used to describe conversations with 'Says I...... says he' It doesn't seem to be used as much anymore.

12:06 pm

caitlyn

Thats true Jac and I like the saying are you reading that newspaper when its on the chair next to them

12:07 pm

Scarlet

Okay, Ata. Thank you.

12:07 pm

Atalante

*should* work, scarlet

12:07 pm

Haz1558

Fingers crossed for Scarlet.

12:08 pm

Jacula

I see your mind works like mine, Deeha.:)

12:08 pm

Haz1558

Of course, classic Irishism, upon viewing a corpse 'Doesn't he look very like himself?'

12:08 pm

Atalante

what do real Irish people think of 'Father Ted'?

12:08 pm

caitlyn

LOL Haz

12:08 pm

Jacula

Haz - Dr. Carl Chinn, Malcolm Stent and Jasper Carrott.

12:09 pm

Haz1558

Or, 'she'd have been 90 this week if she'd lived another two years'

12:09 pm

Jacula

Haz - LOL!

12:09 pm

Haz1558

Father Ted is quite popular, I think, although I can't stand that awful old priest!

12:09 pm

caitlyn

They say that here too Haz

12:10 pm

Jacula

The old priest makes my skin crawl but I did find it very funny when his head was set alight once.

12:10 pm

Haz1558

Another reported saying upon viewing a corpse 'You can see that holiday did her the world of good'

12:10 pm

Jacula

ROFLOL

12:10 pm

Atalante

no!!

12:10 pm

caitlyn

LOL

12:10 pm

Atalante

was she drinking lots of Baileys?

12:11 pm

Haz1558

Someday I must tell you about the riotous evening I spent with the local undertaker's wife.

12:11 pm

Atalante

what better time than now?

12:11 pm

Haz1558

However, since it's time for me to get cooking, it won't be now! I'd better get to the kitchen. Bye for now!

12:11 pm

Atalante

ohhh :( byeee!

12:11 pm

Jacula

Indeed you must, Haz. I shall look forward to that and be sure to gird my loins appropriately beforehand.

12:12 pm

Scarlet

Thank you, Ata. **here's the cup of smug I borrowed, and I'm returning it doubled, for you** You're a computer wonder!

12:12 pm

caitlyn

Bye Haz

12:12 pm

Haz1558

Byee! (Remind me some day and I'll tell all)

12:12 pm

Jacula

TTFN, Haz.

12:12 pm

Atalante

it worked? yay!

12:12 pm

caitlyn

Well done Ata and Scarlet

12:13 pm

Jacula

I've enjoyed the chat - haven't looked for, or found, a single word since I got back here. LOL. Time I saw to the laundry etc. BBL.:D

12:13 pm

caitlyn

Bye Jac see you soon

12:13 pm

Atalante

12:14 pm

Jacula

I've have just 'given' a word though.:( *Slinks off to PB--->

Book Doctor Gwen

there are no 100% correct dictionaries. dictionaries are made by flawed humans. they are always being updated. typos still get in, words are still left out

1:03 pm

here is my rant of the day. the economy is in the tank, the feds lower the interest rates they charge the banks, and then the banks raise the rates they charge the public. that is gouging !!

1:04 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

cheeky, i agree completely. can't wait to get my country back!

1:04 pm

cybernan

1:04 pm

caitlyn

I agree cheeky

4:05 pm

dcseain

that makes sense that you didn't feel it, as you were not grounded. They service high-test power lines by helicopter, with the chopper connected to the lines. They stated doing that because birds and squirrels don't get electrocuted sitting/running on the lines.

4:05 pm

dcseain

and heretic

4:05 pm

redturtlehead

interesting, and nice of them to not electrocute birds and squirrels...

Don't talk to me about peanut butter. I wasted lots of ingredients making a peanut butter & banana cheesecake a few days ago. It was disgusting. We all hated it and so it went in the bin.

6:25 pm

Banoffi pie or cheesecake is fine and I think peanut butter cheesecake would be fine, but the banana combo didn't work.

No person from UK would get that 'add a man's name to he4/7' for he8. It's not a man's name he4/5. Is it short for something? We'd clue it, either 'garden shurbu' or ' goddess of youth' + 'make lace' + vowel.

9:52 pm

re 6 24 the second one?

Just thought I'd poke my oar in and say that. LOL

stidmama

11:02 pm

dcseain

latose, or protein allergy to it, stid?

11:03 pm

Jacula

stid - you must let me know what your allergies are, privately. I need to try to work out a menu for you.

11:04 pm

stidmama

Jacula -- assume vegan (no animal products at all), only plant allergies that apply are eggplant (deadly) and okra (really uncomfortable)

11:04 pm

stidmama

last time I accidentally had a bit of chocolate with any dairy in it my blood pressure tanked within minutes. Should have used the epi-pen, seain, but was too far out of it too fast.

11:05 pm

dcseain

gotcha, stid. there are vegan-guaranteed chocolates you know, i've bought many at The Vegan Store in Rockville, MD

11:06 pm

Jacula

Yes, but, stid, you seem to develop new allergies by the month or so, so please keep me updated on that.x

11:06 pm

stidmama

YES! and I lurrrv them (to use feather's word). but very expensive.

11:06 pm

stidmama

I do actually eat a bit of egg and seafood and chicken still, but always feel a bit peculiar afterward... so I am moving more and more toward pure veganism in my food
