Ankhorite

My high school should be known for its murderers. I think we're up to four at last count... the most recent mass-shooting in Illinois was a kid who went there. Back in the 1970's, a girl killed her family, the female gym teacher killed her husband, and there's someone else I just can't recall right now. I don't want to go back there.

1:12 am

3:55 am

Atalante

i'm about half way through and have made about 5 changes!

3:55 am

sprite

lol... you guys are the best. Nothing like a bit of babble teasing to make me laugh out loud and make the neighbours look up :)

3:56 am

Atalante

changing the subject just slightly lol

3:56 am

sprite

wicked Ata you

3:57 am

sprite

that is wonderful! And you ARE being incredibly critical, right?

3:58 am

Atalante

lol i said i was changing the subject randomly ;) yes, very critical!

3:59 am

sprite

that is great. Is it the short story or the first chapter of the book?

4:00 am

Atalante

short story, that was the first one i clicked on :D

4:00 am

Atalante

4:00 am

sprite

marvelous :) Do you think Ayla would want to read it too?

4:01 am

Atalante

4:01 am

sprite

4:01 am

sprite

4:02 am

Atalante

lynxxx

oooo! as well, tell us more

4:03 am

sprite

they accepted my first short horror/fantasy story and I got to write a little aside for it as well, in which I was allowed to promote my book :D
No payment, alas, but I knew that beforehand. Anyway, it is a start!

4:04 am

4:06 am

lynxxx

Congrats Sprite - that sounds wonderful, from small beginnings etc

4:07 am

sprite

indeed so, lyn! I consider it the start of a blooming time for my writing. I really believe translating my book will be a good move. There must a a market for it in the US and UK.

4:09 am

Atalante

back

4:09 am

lynxxx

tell me about Pure Fantasy - are they publishers or is it a magazine of some sort? I like SF & fantasy but am not into it in a big way

4:09 am

sprite

wb Ata :)
Am glad you have a little spare time at last, btw. Have been crazy times, haven't it.

4:10 am

sprite

it is a magazine, it specialises in fantasy and horror stories and focuses on text, not lots and lots of pictures and hardly any real stories (like other magazines here).

4:10 am

Atalante

well .. I have spare time till thursday! then it goes crazy again

4:11 am

sprite

will things be better when you go on your trip?

4:11 am

Atalante

4:12 am

Atalante

4:13 am

Atalante

I would love it if she could, but its too much stress for her

4:14 am

sprite

I understand :( :(

4:15 am

sprite

4:16 am

Andree

5:19 am

Atalante

urf me too. I can understand wanting justice for your son, but .....

5:19 am

caitlyn

Why ca4/5 they leave Diana re4/4 in peace..for the boys sake at least

5:20 am

Atalante

5:21 am

Andree

he is a classic example of money ca** buy class

5:21 am

Atalante

Atalante

Scrabbler

I also know someone named Anthony Miller.

Ah, yes, Pink, I see it now too.

5:46 am

pinkhatlil

i thought i was onto a winner there lol

5:48 am

Andree

the business is on the market as i need to retire and i offered him a large cash sum when it was sold but he has made up his mind at 47 that he needs a quieter job

5:48 am

Andree

and it could take a year to sell

5:49 am

Scrabbler

How easy will it be to sell the business?

5:49 am

Scrabbler

LoriP--are you here lurking? I miss you.

5:53 am

Andree

5:53 am

Scrabbler

I tried that with my green bunny and felt naked. Also, I was immediately told by other Babblers to bring the bunny back.

5:53 am

lilliann

you wouldn't be scrabbler without your bunny?

lilliann

go angel

5:57 am

Scrabbler

Bunny Callie, since yesterday, is becoming her old self, so I am cautiously optimistic that she will get through this illness. She is more active and eating better. Also, I found that Desitin (zinc oxide) helps her urine scald far better than A + D ointment.

5:57 am

pinkhatlil

Hello Angel

5:57 am

Scrabbler

Go Angel + Lill + Andree!

5:57 am

lilliann

aahhh, scrabs, sorry to here callie is sick

5:58 am

lilliann

hope she makes a full recovery very soon

5:58 am

Scrabbler

She is old (7 1/2) so I have to expect health issues.

5:58 am

Angelsong

I guess some might think it's silly...but I'm adding Callie to my prayers, Scrabbler.

5:59 am

Scrabbler

But, I thought I would have to have her euthanized this week and she is making a comeback. **fingers crossed**

5:59 am

Scrabbler

Please pary for Ben and his family today. The surgery is this AM--very soon.

5:59 am

Andree

she must have read your thoughts and decided she had life in her yet

6:00 am

Scrabbler

And TY, Angel. Our pets are beloved to us.

he will be in my thoughts and hope everything goes well for him scrabs

6:00 am

Scrabbler

Yes, she is surprising me with her will to recover and go on living a bunny's life.

6:01 am

Andree

hope ben has that same will

6:01 am

lilliann

how long is the surgery scrabs.....a very agonising wait for the family

6:01 am

Angelsong

if anything happened to our girls, I would be devastated.

6:02 am

Scrabbler

It should not be long, as the surgeon will just remove some bone and tissue samples. The results of the chest X-ray changed the original plan--no need to scoop out the diseased bone and replace with bone grafts. A firm diagnosis will be made so that a chemo regimen will be planned.

6:03 am

Scrabbler

Kitties or dogs, Angel? I forget.

6:04 am

lilliann

i take it that thats good then, not having to scoop out the bone?

6:05 am

Angelsong

kitties, Scrabbler. Darla (who is always getting into mischief), and Duchess, who is always a Lady); they are almost six years old. They are sisters, and have never been apart.

6:05 am

Scrabbler

Nope, it is because there are metastases to the lungs that there is now no point in removing all of the cancerous bone.

6:05 am

pinkhatlil

help with the an6 and 7 please, and are thet related?

6:05 am

6:55 am

Dorens

6:55 am

Jandy

Foxes wear soxes in boxes... wasn't it something like that?

Dorens

Jandy

I had roos hopping down my street last night...

6:56 am

Jandy

Okay, figment of our imagination Dorens!

6:57 am

carleekat

fox in sox on box with knox, knox in box on fox in sox

6:57 am

bethn

pleas call enable and inform him (them) (it)

6:57 am

Jandy

Big to-do here at the moment because they are planning to cull roos.... very vexed question

6:58 am

Jandy

That's it, carlee! Must have read that a few times, cause that son is much closer to thirty than twenty. My, how middle aged it makes me feel to type that... sigh....

6:58 am

bethn

culling is always controversial. i live in new jersey. deer are a big problem here. same big to do about culling

6:58 am

carleekat

fox in sox my fav dr suess

6:58 am

carleekat

( deer here too a yearly cull )

6:58 am

Jandy

I think it

6:59 am

Jandy

Rats

6:59 am

Jandy

I think it

6:59 am

Jandy

OH FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!

6:59 am

Jandy

I think it is kinder than allowing it to happen informally on the roads...

6:59 am

Jandy

Phew....

7:00 am

carleekat

this grid is JUST not flowing today

7:00 am

Jandy

No, it's not. Just hid a hundred and already gone to the list.... was really finding it hard work

7:01 am

bethn

i grew up in a hunting family (not PC i know) so i am not opposed to a controlled cull, i agree that it is beter than starving and /or roadkill

7:01 am

carleekat

i am STARTING with the list ( time issue..AGAIN )

7:01 am

Jandy

I have been to Somerville a number of times for work, beth... is that anywhere near where you are?

7:01 am

movieman

I agree carlee, I hate it when there's less than 200 words AND I find out that there's 7 8s and 3 9s......

7:01 am

carleekat

I have NOTHING against hunting..so long as u are not going out there with automatic weaponry and blasting the snot out of everything u see... and u USE the meat... don't waste it...

7:01 am

Jandy

I might as well have, carlee.... the long words are killing me!

7:02 am

bethn

i'm about 45 minutes north of there jandy, closer to the pennsylvania border

7:03 am

Jandy

A somewhat nicer part of the world, from what I have seen. A lot of people from the office live up there and commute.

7:03 am

bethn

not my dad carlee, he had some heirloom rifles, and we grew up eating venison. excellent when prepared correctly.

7:03 am

carleekat

dance a thon... swim a thon....why is thon not allowed

7:04 am

carleekat

oh i LOVe venison..an dmoose

7:04 am

bethn

it is very suburban here, but just 5-50 min up the road it is farm country and mountains- beautiful

7:04 am

Jandy

Hunting isn't such a big thing here.... but then there isn't so much running around that you would actually care to eat..... you can't eat wild roo cause of the parasites.... blerk....

7:05 am

carleekat

i have NOTHING against hunting.. .and I would prefer to hear that the hides are used too...I would wear a fur coat if I could get one..and I use old fur coats ( ones out of style from dead grandmas whose kids haven;t got a clue what to with them ) and turn into teddy bears for grandkids

7:05 am

Jandy

Ooohhh... a real fur teddy!

7:05 am

carleekat

i used to have a real fur koala...made from roo fur

7:06 am

bethn

never had moose,carlee, but i still order venison if i find it on a menu, much to shock & dismay of all i am with BAMBI???!!!???

7:06 am

Jandy

I have enjoyed the shopping in Somervilee, Bethn, and have struggled home with suitcases full of bargains... no sales tax, yippee!

7:06 am

carleekat

moose is nice... is..sweet almost...

7:06 am

Jandy

You can still buy them, carlee, and many other much less tasteful souvenirs made from various parts of roo anatomy....

7:07 am

carleekat

r there really 5 th words????

7:07 am

carleekat

i thought they outlawed it?....

7:07 am

Jandy

7:08 am

carleekat

7:08 am

Jandy

I would be very pleased to procure one for you, carlee. I just need to avail myself of one of the many tourist shops in Sydney or Melbourne or anywhere catering for the Japanese tourist market

7:09 am

bethn

my baba (russian grandma) had a persian lamb coat & hat i was fascinated with the twists & turns of the fur

7:09 am

Jandy

Or perhaps you would prefer a beer bottle opener made from a roo scrotum? Really.

7:09 am

carleekat

that's sweet jandy..but no..do not trouble urself... shipping etc..and who knows about import laws into canada

7:09 am

Jandy

Oh, it's okay. It would be dead.... grin....

7:10 am

Jandy

Persian lamb... mmmmm... so soft.....

7:10 am

carleekat

hahaha... I know would be dead...

7:29 am

AsGreen

7:29 am

Jandy

ho7/40 sounds like a childs game... or change the vowel in the middle of the word for pulling your pants up, then plural it..

7:29 am

Jandy

Hi Asgreen!

Oh, no! More of the back-breaking challenges from cranky Mother Nature, Luc?

8:37 am

montreal13

well, we're on a line between rain and snow for tomorrow...lots of it - we just don't know yet which kind of precipitation we'll get...

This is your standard weather every year, Luc? Don't you get weary of the same thing every season?

When beloved and Imoved to Asheville in Dec. 2005, the winter lasted about three days... 2006 was colder and the weather was okay; last year, it seemed to get colder faster and snowier; now, we are just counting the moments until I can garden. We DO have several bunches of bright yellow jonquils and some pretty periwinkles up and saying: "No more!! We want Spring too!"

Cod Liver Oil is one of nature's richest sources of the valuable long-chain Omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA that have generated hundreds of studies worldwide since their discovery some 40 years ago. The Omega-3 fats are needed for the growth and regeneration of every single cell in the body which is why they have such wide-reaching effects.

thanks all for the congrats. and yeah, i'm kinda sorta proud, but he was always that kind of kid. He was sure he wouldnd't get this, cause harvard usually doesn't take people from there (and that's where he's doing his residency, and got the phd and md, and undergrad for that matter) but i was sure... how could they not want him.

5:07 pm

Jandy

Oh just the last 33 thanks katie! LOL! Can I ask what visioning is... I think I know what you mean, in which case I agree whole heartedly.

5:08 pm

KatieMcG

We are looking at a run down town centre and 'visioning' what it should be like in 2021 and then working out how to get there!!

5:09 pm

Jandy

5:10 pm

periwinkle

5:10 pm

KatieMcG

Lol Jandy. I like building the buildings or getting the funding, putting it all together but when you get 'visioners' in the room it all seems to get a bit airy fairy

5:10 pm

Scrabbler

ce6=the person that cuts out bad parts of movies for TV

5:10 pm

Jandy

Thanks again, got them straight away!

5:10 pm

Just1Mar

ch 5/14 is like the sh 5/12

5:11 pm

KatieMcG

AN6 is the an7 missing the middle vowel

5:11 pm

Jandy

That's my problem, katie... I'm so pragmatic. When it gets too "special" I can hardly stop my eyes rolling...

5:11 pm

Scrabbler

ce5/12==In Mexico when you take a nap it is called a si****

5:11 pm

periwinkle

Scrabbler

Scrabbler

5:12 pm

Just1Mar

the last sh 5/12 ml

5:12 pm

KatieMcG

I worked on a project with architects, honestly you could hardly get through meetings with the smell of bull........what mattered to me is that they designed something that was way over budget and was always going to be!

5:12 pm

periwinkle

go it thanks Scrabs

5:12 pm

Jandy

Thanks for all the clues, guys...

5:13 pm

MLFAN17

i only have one sh 5/12

5:13 pm

Scrabbler

Are you done, Jandy?

Atalante

5:13 pm

MLFAN17

5:13 pm

tee_jay

hi all.

5:13 pm

Atalante

or at least as bad LOL

5:13 pm

Scrabbler

Hi Atalante

5:14 pm

Jandy

And then, katie, if you should venture to ask how this is going to work or how we will overcome the barriers to it working, you get that look.... the one that says you will never be a visionary!

5:14 pm

Scrabbler

Hi TJ

5:14 pm

Just1Mar

ok well take the sh 4,5 add same cons as last letter....then do same for ch

5:14 pm

KatieMcG

We have done Myers Briggs at work and I am way over on the S and J scale so it doesn't make me compatable with the architects :-)

5:14 pm

Jandy

You're kidding, scrabs!

5:14 pm

tee_jay

eeww. french company lawyers. sounds like a horror film.

5:14 pm

Jandy

I've been spared that pleasure, ata! But I believe you...

5:15 pm

tee_jay

then

5:15 pm

KatieMcG

Ata, I've done all day with English Lawyers on many occassions (always expensive and exhausting) can't imagine surviving the day with French lawyers

5:15 pm

tee_jay

sorry! bad newbie. bad.

5:15 pm

Scrabbler

And then there are American lawyers! Egad!

5:15 pm

periwinkle

still have 70 left, bbs

5:15 pm

Atalante

it was painful. I sympathise for your day tomorrow!

5:15 pm

Scrabbler

It's OK, TJ

5:15 pm

Jandy

Hi teejay! We've all done that... me several times and sometimes in capitals!

5:16 pm

Just1Mar

did you get that ml?

5:16 pm

KatieMcG

Lol jandy just saw the post about THE LOOK, I get THE LOOK regularly :-)

5:16 pm

Jandy

I did, just! Thanks!

5:16 pm

MLFAN17

i saw your clue just

5:16 pm

Just1Mar

:D yvw

5:17 pm

KatieMcG

We should take a picture of a building that inspires us, I am soooooooo tempted to take in a photo of McDonalds just for a laugh

5:17 pm

Just1Mar

in other words, ml the sh 4/5 double the last cons ...do same for ch

5:17 pm

Atalante

well .. its iconic and modern!

5:17 pm

MLFAN17

Just my monnkey isnt working for that though

5:17 pm

Jandy

The good news, katie, is that, as the mother of sons (who were six foot very early on) I have a look that can drop a footballer at a hundred paces... so it bounces Right Back At Them!

5:18 pm

Jandy

And instantly recognised as providing community services and having twenty four hour availability... they should hope so much for the town hall!

5:18 pm

Just1Mar

sh 4,5 ...I sh** the sheriff, double last cons......same for ch

5:18 pm

KatieMcG

I'm laughing to myself about the look and said development. I had to use mine and the stern voice in a meeting last month, it was very effective :-)

5:19 pm

MLFAN17

Just Mar ty FINALLY ggot them

5:19 pm

MLFAN17

both

5:19 pm

herinfernallady

HI

5:19 pm

Just1Mar

yay.....bet you'll never forget those!

5:19 pm

Scrabbler

Isn't work a lot of BS and PR much of the time--both with colleagues and customers?

5:19 pm

KatieMcG

Hi Herin

5:20 pm

Just1Mar

Hi Herein!

5:20 pm

Atalante

absolutely. far too much

5:20 pm

Jandy

It's a life skill it's easy to underrate. I do a lot of training to groups of about 50 who all know each other. My two strategies for bringing order to chaos are to 1. Stand silent at the front waiting for them to notice, like a grade 2 teacher or 2. If I haven't got time for that I just use my other's voice and say RIGHT.

5:20 pm

Jandy

Hey lady!

5:20 pm

herinfernallady

HOwdy. It seems you lot don't sleep

5:20 pm

Jandy

Oh yes Scrabs, more and more so as time passes

5:21 pm

KatieMcG

Oh yes Scrabbler, I always cause shock by getting to the point or asking the question everyone else wants to, served me well in my career but sometimes I want to be the 'nice' one

5:21 pm

Scrabbler

My co-workers actually make my daily life so difficult and that just doesn't need to happen.

5:21 pm

Just1Mar

I do....just not conventional hours! Right now 6:21pm!

5:21 pm

Scrabbler

I am known as the rebel and renegade of the office--fighting for what is right and fair, pointing out the BS.

5:22 pm

KatieMcG

It's only 22.21 here but I am going to bed soon

5:22 pm

Just1Mar

or in the international....18:22

5:22 pm

Jandy

What I find most fascinating is that, if you are completely direct and open and honest, people don't trust you, they keep waiting to find out what your hidden agenda is! Weird...

5:22 pm

Scrabbler

Katie, Jandy + Scrabbler seem very similar in our approaches.

5:23 pm

tee_jay

all of that just makes me grateful i can stay with my kids for now. don't miss the office one bit.

5:23 pm

Jandy

Yeahh.... woman power! It has served me reasonably well, but I have learned to temper it in order to achieve what I want to

5:23 pm

KatieMcG

After I had just started one of the companies I partner with said "I thought you were going to be nice" to which I replied "this is nice". We did both fall about laughing when we had got over the shock about our different perceptions of 'nice'

5:23 pm

MLFAN17

he 4 and 5 the first please

5:23 pm

herinfernallady

I used the power of cleavage at pubs

5:23 pm

Scrabbler

I call our office "The Circus".

5:23 pm

herinfernallady

tans

5:23 pm

herinfernallady

sod

5:24 pm

Scrabbler

Haha, Katie.

5:24 pm

Jandy

They were great years for me, tee_jay and I wouldn't have missed them for anything.... though the politics at school parent's committee meetings are as good as any office!

5:24 pm

KatieMcG

I used the power of the lit ciggie in the pub, never got hassle whilst collecting glasses, they wouldn't dare!

5:24 pm

tee_jay

ugh. i'm not there yet. my oldest is 2-1/2.

5:24 pm

Jandy

One of my favourite lines, Katie, is to tell people I respect them far too much to be anything other than completely honest with them...

5:25 pm

Scrabbler

If people could just put egos aside and be honest and cooperative instead of fighting for power and control.

5:25 pm

KatieMcG

*reflecting without surprise as to why I ended up finding love on the internet*

5:25 pm

Jandy

Lady, if you're going to type words into chat, could you PLEASE make them one's I don't have yet! Thanks!

5:25 pm

Scrabbler

I like that one, Jandy

5:25 pm

KatieMcG

Thats good Jandy, I might just use that one tomorrow

5:25 pm

JBV

hi, everybody, listening and reading along here - very interesting chat -

5:25 pm

Jandy

Well, I really mean it!

5:25 pm

Jandy

Hi JBV

5:26 pm

Scrabbler

Hi JBV

5:26 pm

herinfernallady

My stupid net is stil being stupid

5:26 pm

MLFAN17

Jandy my hubby is VERY honest for the most part

5:26 pm

JBV

I have the opportunity to work with 10 different administrators and see such a variety of management and interpersonal styles - some people are just a pleasure to work with - can-do, roll up the sleeves and get things done -

5:26 pm

JBV

and others are just into their personal egos as you said

5:26 pm

KatieMcG

Yes it is Scrabbler

5:26 pm

Jandy

Yes, phan, one of my sons put me onto it

5:26 pm

MLFAN17

5:27 pm

Mom

evening all. I have 30 minutes to see what I can do with this grid.

5:27 pm

Jandy

Now, mlfan, I wasn't talking about marriage! That's different! If I ask him if I look fat in something I do NOT want total honesty. A hint, maybe, but not the brual truth

5:27 pm

Scrabbler

TY--got so8 #2

5:28 pm

MLFAN17

Jand yeah my hubby woudlnt do that to me at alll lol

KatieMcG

5:29 pm

phandmd

5:30 pm

KatieMcG

As long as you're not going out with me in it.

5:31 pm

Mom

6:00 pm

Mom

oh Jandy, I would spoil him rotten.

6:00 pm

lil*monkey

hillary, think of a term meaning a sound that is on the same frequency as another

6:00 pm

ylleria

hillary - it relates to sound, think about the ec 4 (though it doesn't build off that word)

6:00 pm

Jandy

If you could have a chat to him about his hair... and his beard... and his looking just a little too much like a mainstream religious person....

6:00 pm

6:01 pm

Scrabbler

These RO words are hiding on me--I have just these: underground plant growth + plural, flower + pl, and the last 3 on the list. Any help would be appreciated.

6:01 pm

lil*monkey

word that rhymes with the timepiece on your wrist, scrabs

6:02 pm

Jandy

Yerrrrs... Mom... but my mother only manages to be mildly amused by it, whre everything else they do amuses her greatly!

6:03 pm

lil*monkey

*fanning myself with anything not nailed down*

6:03 pm

Jandy

So he does need feeding up Mom, he's like his father and stops eating when he's stressed (would that it were so for me!) and he's terribly thin at the moment.. even more so than usual

6:03 pm

Scrabbler

Yeah! That fills in a bunch. Now: the first 5 RO words.

6:03 pm

Mom

since it is just hair and it doesn't change who he is on the inside

6:04 pm

Mom

oh no, Jandy.

6:04 pm

Mom

I am the opposite with eating

6:04 pm

Jandy

lil*monkey, lots and lots of women I know take (Brand Name Coming) Remifemin for their hot flushes and swear by it... have you tried it at all?

6:04 pm

Jandy

Oh, me too Mom. Find myself standing in front of the fridge wondering what's next!

6:05 pm

ylleria

the first ro's are like the first no's

6:05 pm

Mom

I had better scoot off here, I need to bake a loaf of banana nut bread.

6:05 pm

Scrabbler

I tried something-phase--with black cohosh and red clover.

6:05 pm

Mom

makes note to self to send some to Jandy's son

6:05 pm

Scrabbler

Bye, Mom.

6:05 pm

Jandy

That's one of the reasons I don't mind him coming back home for a while, he needs at least four or five kilos on him. And I agree totally about the hair.

6:05 pm

Mom

6:05 pm

Jandy

Thanks Mom! See you!

6:05 pm

8:22 pm

tygerbryght

kinda sad, pam, but he was 90, after all, and he greatly outlived the rest of the triumvirate

8:22 pm

Cordelia

re 6/21?

8:22 pm

jillibus

i tyger -- I was buried in the grid getting my last 4

8:22 pm

tygerbryght

yay, jilli

8:22 pm

tygerbryght

did you hear the news about A.C. Clarke?

8:22 pm

pam

It's sad nonetheless

8:22 pm

tygerbryght

re6/21: pulled the trigger again

8:22 pm

jillibus

No, tyger....*dreading*

8:23 pm

LadyNatts

1st sh5... please?

8:23 pm

tygerbryght

appparently it was simply a matter of age

8:23 pm

tygerbryght

yes, pam, it is

8:23 pm

jillibus

I hope that re clue wasn't anything to do with AC Clarke

8:23 pm

autumn moon

hi all. Do I have time to finish in about an hour if I haven't started yet?

8:23 pm

tygerbryght

1st sh5: sh + not exit, but ***er

8:23 pm

tygerbryght

no, jilli

8:24 pm

tygerbryght

doubt it, moon, unless you're extremely fast

8:24 pm

Lindrickway

hi autumn, took me a couple of hours

8:24 pm

lbdawger

AC Clarke, was 90 years old! I wonder if they will send his ashes into space like they did Carl Sagan

8:24 pm

jesdraggon

off for dinner. back later :)

8:24 pm

LadyNatts

sh5,12! I thought I had tried that!

bye jes

8:24 pm

Cordelia

tyger isn't that re 7/32?

8:25 pm

tygerbryght

probably not, unless he wanted it, dawg

8:25 pm

autumn moon

think I will go straight to list and see what I can do.

8:25 pm

tygerbryght

isn't what re7/32, delia?

8:25 pm

LadyNatts

hi autumn!

8:25 pm

jillibus

Oh, sorry to hear about ACC, but as you say, he was 90 -- and he won't be forgotten.

8:25 pm

tygerbryght

past tense, delia

8:26 pm

jillibus

Hi autumn -- good idea!

8:26 pm

Cordelia

criminey! thanks tyger :)

8:26 pm

Hi lady, jilli, lind, and tyger

8:26 pm

tygerbryght

hey, moon

8:27 pm

jillibus

Delia is much prettier than Cord, so be it

8:27 pm

tygerbryght

no, but too few people realize we have him to think for satellite communications, among other things

8:27 pm

Cordelia

I answer to it all :)

8:28 pm

jillibus

so true, tyger

8:28 pm

tygerbryght

I was so pleased with myself; I got all 3 9s on my own :) - and the re9 pleased me most, given it's not related to anything else in the grid

8:29 pm

LadyNatts

ta6,21 and ta7,32 are giving me grief now

8:29 pm

Lindrickway

wtg tyger

8:29 pm

Cordelia

yay tyger...i'm missing the second st9

8:30 pm

tygerbryght

ta6/21 & 7 are combo words: light brown + a place where you play games is a *** room

8:30 pm

jillibus

Autumn, just read your bio (again) -- please don't take offence if I point out that the word is pastimes, not past-times. Lots of people get that wrong and it might mess up their babble spelling (although some of that is really off too, lol!

8:30 pm

tygerbryght

thx, guys

8:30 pm

ta 6 colour you get in the sun & *** room usually in the basement & plural

MaMaWA

I am trying to finish my ro's and would love some help with the last 3..ro4,4 ,5,10 and 4,4

8:33 pm

I don't mean a magazine; I mean people who work together to help find new placements for parrots, kinda like K9 rescue orgs

8:33 pm

frantique

oh yup there are

8:33 pm

frantique

they are far and few between

8:33 pm

tygerbryght

last ro4 is when something decays

8:33 pm

frantique

sometimes your local pet shop will take them

8:34 pm

jillibus

ro4/4 -- followed by "tiller" gets your beds ready for veggie seeds

8:34 pm

MaMaWA

8:34 pm

tygerbryght

my son has a chance to rescue a young African gray, but he's on work comp due to an injury, and will need someone to buy the bird ASAP, if he does it

8:35 pm

tygerbryght

he has friends at a pet shop, but we're trying to figure a way to avoid that for this bird

8:35 pm

theres a pretty good web site. I havent been to it in a long time. called Birds n ways

Cordelia

re 6/21

8:35 pm

tygerbryght

undoubtedly, jilli. a young African gray would most likely outlive ME :P

8:35 pm

LadyNatts

okay, I give... for fireworks, I need the an6,21 and an7,32

8:36 pm

Cordelia

jilli...you can rescue older birds, as well...my mom does that

8:37 pm

::: sighs in deep contentment ....(or is it exhaustion?) :::

8:39 pm

tygerbryght

it's a firesale price, but the woman wants to get rid of her because her daughter wants some kind of Amazon parrot instead :(

8:39 pm

MaMaWA

go lady

8:40 pm

frantique

If you find him a home, make sure to tell the people that it is expensive to feed, and they require at least 3 hours of attention a day or more !

8:40 pm

jillibus

Natts -- just got an email "Top Ten" thingy which listed, under US sports, Wayne Gretzky, aaargh!

8:40 pm

LadyNatts

how sad, tyger

8:40 pm

tygerbryght

but David has to be able to turn it over almost immediately, as it's his rent & groceries money he'd be giving her :(

8:40 pm

MaMaWA

sorry i have missed your clue jilli for the last 2 ro's

8:40 pm

frantique

tyger, that girl should be shot ! how can you give up a pet for another ! shame on her!

8:40 pm

LadyNatts

LOL, jilli... can't avoid it, I'm afraid. My dad would aaargh along with you.

8:40 pm

tygerbryght

oh, jilli, what a rotten deal, to list Gretzky as USan!

8:40 pm

autumn moon

off to look at or think about supper

8:41 pm

tygerbryght

I agree, frant, but our main concern here is the bird

8:41 pm

frantique

if she can't handle an grey she will have problems with the amazon. they can be loud, at least the greys talk !

8:41 pm

jillibus

Canada gets no credit for anything

8:41 pm

frantique

check that website http://www.birdsnways.com/

8:41 pm

tygerbryght

this grey is the smaller kind, that they say sometimes doesn't talk, but that doesn't mean she isn't a highly intelligent creature who deserves proper care & respect

8:42 pm

tygerbryght

will do, frant

8:42 pm

pam

damned society that thinks pets are disposable.... grrrrr

8:42 pm

tygerbryght

I'm NOT a bird lover, but I am a critter lover

8:42 pm

frantique

I wouldnt be surprised if its all about the Money. thats sad. She should let someone loving adopt it for free

8:42 pm

tygerbryght

she claims to be asking much less than she paid - which I believe

8:42 pm

MaMaWA

Ohh so really sorry I need the ro last 2

8:43 pm

jillibus

better go and get supper before I get too tiddly

8:43 pm

LadyNatts

my best friend's mom has a grey... it's the smaller breed too, I believe. He took a long time, but can say quite a few things, but his real repertoire is in sounds... sirens, cat meow, etc.

8:43 pm

tygerbryght

later, jilli

8:43 pm

Lindrickway

Cordelia did you get a clue on that ro?

8:43 pm

pam

later, jilli

8:43 pm

frantique

when i got my first bird the petshops all told me .. start with a cockateil and then move up to bigger birds !!! START WITH? like i'd trade it in!

8:43 pm

Lindrickway

bye jilli

8:43 pm

Cordelia

Lin...i'm not sure...if i did, i missed it

8:43 pm

tygerbryght

final ro4 is decays

8:43 pm

MaMaWA

nite Jilli ty

8:43 pm

Lindrickway

add a vowel to the 5 cord

8:44 pm

tygerbryght

frant, that's why we don't want the bird to go thru a pet shop!

8:44 pm

jillibus

In the dog world we don't give them away for free -- the ignorant recipient might want to breed them indiscriminately.

8:44 pm

LadyNatts

I so want to sit and chat too, but I have to get a few things done ... I'd love to crash and burn, too, but I have to pick up daughter from work in 2.25 hours.

8:44 pm

Cordelia

thanks, lindrick :)

8:44 pm

tygerbryght

later, natts

8:44 pm

LadyNatts

So, goodnight babble buddies!

8:45 pm

pam

also, jilli, we encourage spay/neuter prior to placement

8:45 pm

MaMaWA

I hve the bad fruit, ro 4,4

8:45 pm

frantique

My other two birds give me a headache sometimes. They YAP Yap Yap, yet i'd never have the heart to send them away.

8:45 pm

Lindrickway

yw cord i would have clued it earlier but clicked back and lost my screen for a while!!

8:45 pm

tygerbryght

what jilli said - you give dogs only to people you know WELL

8:45 pm

frantique

good luck with the birdy

8:45 pm

tygerbryght

thx, frant. we really want to get her out of there and into safe hands

8:45 pm

frantique

I have a friend who gave her dog up for an apartment. I was pissed at her! it wasn't like she HAD to have THAT apartment.

8:46 pm

Lindrickway

night lady

8:46 pm

jillibus

I'll be baaaack after supper -- you can't get rid of me so easily, lol!

8:46 pm

Cordelia

lindrick...so glad, i'm not the only one with navigational issues

8:46 pm

MaMaWA

I thought there was a ****** 4,4 5,10 combo prior

8:46 pm

tygerbryght

but neither of us has spare cash right now :(

8:46 pm

frantique

and I know someone who had two love birds , they had a human baby and set the birds free! opened a window! SICK

8:46 pm

tygerbryght

I've given dogs to people I knew well, but that's it

8:46 pm

pam

I am with you there, frant...

8:46 pm

Lindrickway

LOL cord

8:46 pm

tygerbryght

I've put down dogs, when there was no other choice - that's more humane than handing them over to strangers

8:46 pm

frantique

There should be a law that people can't sell their pets !

8:47 pm

frantique

meanwhile... i hear they are going to enforce manditory spade and nutering of dogs in California

8:47 pm

tygerbryght

I dunno, frant. circumstances differ.

8:47 pm

Lindrickway

Cord this laptop is so very sensitive it drives me crazy!!

8:47 pm

tygerbryght

mandatory alteration is fine for pet owners, but what about purebred breeders???

8:48 pm

pam

I believe all pets shouild be spayed/neutered. Breeders should be regulated and licensed, and if someone is showing a dog, they need to prove it.

8:48 pm

tygerbryght

they're going to drive a lot of people who show dogs out of the state

8:48 pm

frantique

i'm not sure if the Breeders will be affected by the law

8:48 pm

lbdawger

i can think of places where spay and neutering of people should be enforced

8:48 pm

tygerbryght

that's not unreasonable, pam

8:48 pm

jillibus

frant, the verb is to spay, not spade. So bitches are Spayed, dogs are neutered. Good idea for pets. Cats too.

8:48 pm

pam

I also think breeders should take a break--there are thousands of homeless dogs in shelters and rescues, many with papers.

8:48 pm

tygerbryght

dawg, you're so right! :D

8:49 pm

pam

I agree, lbd!

8:49 pm

Cordelia

be back soon...ice cream break

8:49 pm

tygerbryght

pam, there are some breeds that are vastly overbred, but not all

8:49 pm

Lindrickway

i like it dawg

8:49 pm

tygerbryght

later, delia

8:49 pm

frantique

WHen bird flu first popped up, many people, got knocks at their door in California and their birds were taken an put to sleep! so unfair. they were birds that were never outside the house and didnt have the bird flu

8:49 pm

lbdawger

bye, cordelia

8:50 pm

Lindrickway

aaww that's terrible fran

8:50 pm

jillibus

Oh dawg -- you're talking eugenics -- our prof at McGill got fired for promoting that and I still have the textbook -- anyone ever heard of the Jukes and the Kallikaks?

8:50 pm

pam

Thousands of dogs need a home, why not give them a chance, tyger? I want breeders to be part of the solution...

8:50 pm

tygerbryght

I certainly have, jilli! :D

8:50 pm

phandmd

1st HO 6/27 pls

8:50 pm

pam

yep, jilli!

8:50 pm

tygerbryght

pam, try telling that to breeders of rare breeds. do you want those breeds to vanish??

8:51 pm

Lindrickway

ho 6 the head ho****

8:51 pm

pam

I don't want rare or other breeds to vanish, I want the thousands of dogs/month that are euthanized to get homes and I want that number to diminish

8:51 pm

lbdawger

not necessarily, Jilli. I just think some people shouldn't be allowed to have children or pets.

8:51 pm

tygerbryght

the breeders that need to be curbed are the "back yard" breeders

8:51 pm

jillibus

Good abreeders ARE part of the solution -- there are hundreds of rescue sites for purebreds. In our experience, if a home didn't work out we took the dog back and rehomed it carefully.

8:52 pm

pam

I know breeders who have taken a respite from breeding

8:52 pm

phandmd

I love that word!

8:52 pm

frantique

since pure breeds have certificates etc, I'm sure they can track how many there are and if they are in danger of extinction

8:52 pm

Lindrickway

oh i can't agree more dawg!

8:52 pm

pam

that is a responsible breeder, jilli. Backyard breeders give all breeders a bad name

8:52 pm

Lindrickway

LOL phan

8:52 pm

tygerbryght

and jilli's solution is the right one

8:52 pm

pam

So many dogs on petfinder are papered--the breeder dd not take the dog back...

8:52 pm

tygerbryght

I need to go. later, all

8:52 pm

jillibus

Pam, too true

8:52 pm

phandmd

what makes a breeder not a backyard breeder?

8:52 pm

frantique

good luck tyger

8:53 pm

tygerbryght

I didn't mean to start a big fuss. sorry *poof*

8:53 pm

Lindrickway

can i ask a question about the little pink and blue people by your flags, does pink mean female and blue male?

8:53 pm

Lindrickway

bye tyger

8:53 pm

frantique

my heart bleeds for poor little animals and even humans that didnt ask to be born, and are living in the streets

8:53 pm

pam

Backyard breeders do not temperament test, genetci or ortho test, do not stand by their dogs, do not spay/neuter the retired breeders...

8:53 pm

lbdawger

welp, i'd like to stick around and chat some more, but another early start tomorrow. see you all tomorrow.

8:54 pm

Lindrickway

bye dawg

8:54 pm

pam

Backyard breeders think there is money to be made, overbreed the bitches, and take no responsibility for their dogs.

8:54 pm

frantique

lol i never noticed i was wearing a pink shirt

8:54 pm

Lindrickway

LOL fran

8:54 pm

phandmd

ok, just wondering.

8:54 pm

pam

Backyard breeders do not participate in rescue

8:54 pm

Lindrickway

but pam you are wearing blue?

8:54 pm

Jindigo

bye ibd

8:54 pm

Lindrickway

i am confused!!

8:54 pm

jillibus

phan, someone who studies not only pedigrees but what the dogs in them were actually like and what their temperaments were like and what their health was like -- not just deciding it would be cute to have puppies from the neighbour's dog or inventing a new "designer" breed

8:55 pm

Jindigo

hey Lind

10:49 pm

jillibus

I think you're both right. Actually, with Lickety's help, I found this one flowed nicely until I hit the H words -- then it became sporadic, then by the tiem I hit the Rs, it got tougher.

10:50 pm

jillibus

I had to hit morewords for the last 43 or so, not that I used it all the time, but it helped.

10:51 pm
