strange kitty, flosey!

12:43 am

flosey

flosey

flosey

indeed jilli, had never seen that happen before

12:44 am

jillibus

or what attracted him?

12:45 am

tygerbryght

some cats get moods, jilli. I've seen some strange behavior in cats who just took offense at something, who knows what

12:45 am

flosey

but when he came to the door for food, he acted as if he was suspicious of something or someone

12:45 am

tygerbryght

my mother didn't like dogs. never found out before she died (I was too young to ask), but cats were permitted, so I had lots of cats

12:46 am

tygerbryght

and my two closest friends are both cat lovers. dogs, too, but cats most

12:46 am

jillibus

I love both

12:46 am

flosey

1:38 am

rururocks

I needed help on about ten words...I had a hard time with it

1:38 am

sprite

lol thought that might be it, ruru. I feel hushed by this grid. In dutch, we don't say sh, but sssst.

1:39 am

Pinikula

ruru...are you done???

1:39 am

sprite

Thanks lady!

1:51 am

jillibus

I don't know why people are finding this grid easy

1:52 am

sprite

so far it seems to flow, jilli, but I am not nearly done yet. Is it tough on you?

1:52 am

herinfernallady

I just found an 8 in under 5 min

1:52 am

I guess it's just me

1:52 am

1:53 am

herinfernallady

thanks sprite i didn't look left

1:53 am

jillibus

I did get NBT very quickly, but since then...ugh!

1:53 am

I couldn't get yesterday's going, jilli.

1:53 am

sprite

yw lady :)

1:53 am

jillibus

I didn't have time for yesterday's

1:54 am

herinfernallady

Neither did I jill

1:54 am

jillibus

so far the words I'm finding are babblets and weirdos

1:54 am

sprite

to give you an indication: I used lickety's, a2z and some great clues from BabbleRabble.

1:55 am

herinfernallady

I njust didn't ahve time to think

1:55 am

jillibus

that's unusual for you, sprite! (But I like morewords better than a2z)

1:56 am

Pinikula

121 / 95 ... off to bed for me! Night all!!! cya tmw

1:56 am

sprite

funny, almost everybody does. But on morewords you have to know how long the word is to look it up. On a2z you can just try some starting letters and see what comes up and I like that.

1:56 am

rururocks

well off to bed for me.. nite all good luck...see you tomorrow.. 39 to go in the am.

1:56 am

sprite

1:58 am

herinfernallady

HI Lorie

1:58 am

1:59 am

Lorrie_in_SA

I see we are all making a complete spectacle of ourselves today...

1:59 am

herinfernallady

I know a Judge that wears Edna glasses

1:59 am

Hugabugs

actually, sprite you don't need to know the length of the word in morewords... you can just use the first 2 or 3 letters then put an * after them, and then you can list the letters that aren't in the grid so those words won't appear

2:01 am

rururocks

I don't use morewords..

2:01 am

jillibus

wow, hugs, that's a much more sophisticated way to use morewords than the one I know!

2:01 am

hurshy

i mean i know they want to help us be able to drive but it will not help if we crash because we are so sleepy

2:01 am

herinfernallady

Because they are rude asshats Hursh. have you yelled out the window :: WHAT ARE YOU DOING

2:02 am

hursh they are out of their minds

2:02 am

jillibus

LOL ruru!

2:02 am

sprite

I didn't even know that, Hugs. Will try it out next impossible grid.

2:02 am

hurshy

they would not hear me if i yelled over the machine sound

2:03 am

herinfernallady

HI Bfsog

2:04 am

rururocks

** note to self.. never make any noise outside of herin's house ***

2:04 am

hurshy

i don't think the person doing the work has decided that now is the time to do it. i think someone told him to do it. and i think that person lives far away.

2:04 am

bfsog

have you ever done a good deed but been penalised by 'karma'?

2:04 am

Hugabugs

if you put a ^ then list the letters you don't need it really shortens the list of words that appear

2:05 am

rururocks

he is probably from New york hursh

2:05 am

sprite

no good deed ever goes unpunished, bfsog

2:06 am

herinfernallady

Ru i am a right bitch if you wake me up. In this house if you wake up the inhabitants before 12 on weekends be prepared to suffer

2:06 am

herinfernallady

BFs what has happened?

2:06 am

rururocks

ROFL herin

2:06 am

sprite

quite handy options, Hugs

2:07 am

bfsog

i helped this woman get her bag down off a storage rack (thats the good deed) but the bag came off the rack fast and all its weight went onto my thumb which is now really sore

2:07 am

herinfernallady

:(

2:07 am

hurshy

that's not karma, that's gravity

2:07 am

rururocks

we call those accidents bf not karma

2:08 am

rururocks

lol hursh

2:08 am

sprite

awwww bfsog :(
Doesn't make your deed any less good though. Perhaps you kept the woman from breaking her thumb and were yourself rewarded by a lesser injury?

2:08 am

sprite

lolol hursh

2:08 am

rururocks

yeah coulda hit your head

2:08 am

bfsog

well i was surronded by other passengers so i just yelled inside and put on a brave face!

2:09 am

lynxxx

What goes round, comes round bfsog. Your good deed will be rewarded

2:09 am

sprite

silly bfsog! You were meant to yell so others could get their good deed for the day in as well by helping you!

2:09 am

rururocks

yeah... you won't get bumped from the plane on the way back..

2:09 am

bfsog

i have badminton monday nights so im hoping its okay enough to play

2:09 am

herinfernallady

Maybe the bag needed a sacrifice of some sort, our old couch needed blood once a month. Every months someone would hit there head on the over head bar

2:10 am

rururocks

just don't hitchhike for a while

2:10 am

sprite

cool it well, bfsog.

2:10 am

sprite

2:10 am

rururocks

2:10 am

herinfernallady

heheh. That couch got piffed

2:11 am

2:15 am

2:19 am

hurshy

2:20 am

jillibus

ruru, I think there are still replacements -- I googled mixmaster beaters and some looked just the same. Must check the part numbers. But it will all take time -- even trying to find someone to rpair them, herin.

2:20 am

sprite

I hope you will get to see a lot of him during this stage, hursh. For both your sakes, lol.

2:21 am

hurshy

7:07 am

crosshair

7:07 am

redturtlehead

be careful cross, if you make a snow angel you might get fined by the football league in the US for unsportsman like behavior!

7:08 am

herinfernallady

I hate snow im nice and toasty

7:08 am

Aloyisius

shasta is a daisy, must be a proper word

7:08 am

crosshair

crossy gives herin the evil eye....

7:08 am

I thought so too Aloy...

7:09 am

Anniebrook

yes, it is a daisy...i tried it twice

7:09 am

herinfernallady

Hey you choose to live in snow

7:09 am

Aloyisius

7:10 am

o-o

sa 6 == add drinking water is a ****ble

7:10 am

Aloyisius

and I thought stata was pl. of status, but nooo

7:11 am

redturtlehead

STATA is a horrid computer language that processes statistics.

7:11 am

Aloyisius

ooh, didn't know that red

7:12 am

Aloyisius

yay, got BR's clue, tyvm BR

7:12 am

herinfernallady

there is too many S words for my little confuddled brain

7:12 am

redturtlehead

I am not exactly sure people should have 18 children...story on nes about the duggars.

7:13 am

Aloyisius

you say potato, i say potata

7:13 am

Anniebrook

I cant imagine 18 children..my grandmother had eleven and my parents had only one..me

7:13 am

herinfernallady

That reminds me of the saying 'There was a little old woman that lived in a shoe, she had so many children her uterus fell out , plop

7:14 am

Anniebrook

LOL

7:14 am

herinfernallady

AND the kids all have J names

7:14 am

crosshair

wife watches them on tv and that one bout the sextuplets and twins.i think its insane to have 18 kids

7:14 am

Aloyisius

lol, hadn't heard that version, herin

7:14 am

herinfernallady

Jedhiah Joy ann

7:14 am

redturtlehead

I find I just am not exactly sure. i mean...they appear to be lovely children, but at the same time I do think...maybe...a bit much.

7:15 am

herinfernallady

I wonder if they have tv

7:15 am

redturtlehead

Herin I am sure they do. They just shoedd that the house is set up with multiple computers. but they are very religious.

7:16 am

periwinkle

hello, 18 is way too many kids, IMO

7:16 am

Aloyisius

mornin, peri

7:16 am

crosshair

lol they should of read the verse that says moderation in all things......

7:16 am

Anniebrook

hi peri

7:16 am

Atalante

I think ppl can have as many kids as they want as long as they don't expect the rest of the country to support them

7:16 am

herinfernallady

they are very much god botherers

7:16 am

Anniebrook

the laundry, eeeeeek

7:16 am

redturtlehead

I thnk many of us could take a lesson in her organization, however...

7:17 am

herinfernallady

I wonder if God is up there going '''Oh for the sake of my name STOP BUGGING ME Jim Bob''

7:18 am

redturtlehead

I doubt that herin. God ants people to pray without Ceasing.

7:18 am

crosshair

that orginization is just factory line modelling,anyone with 20 or more employees can do it or someone with 100 head of milking cows..insane

7:18 am

redturtlehead

It is a bit wierd.

7:18 am

redturtlehead

But then there is my sister who has 2 boys and cant get things together...

herinfernallady

I mean my b.fs mum got confused with 3. 5 kids

7:21 am

crosshair

well its the .5 thats always hard to buy for;)

7:22 am

herinfernallady

7:23 am

herinfernallady

I was checking e-mail. Crossy--buried under snow, huh?

7:52 am

herinfernallady

Question: do you think it would be safe to hang a dangling toy off the over head light fixture

7:52 am

Scrabbler

Congrats Angel!

7:52 am

yes indeed scrabbs

7:52 am

No herin

7:52 am

i wouldnt herin that is if you want said fixture to remain a overhead one;))

7:53 am

phandmd

Opps, sorry didn't mean to blurt out like that

7:53 am

herinfernallady

for a kitty not a kid

7:53 am

car.eeyore

Definitely not for a kitty! Mine would tear down the light.

7:54 am

crosshair

we have 2 small wicker baskets for our cats,each has about 7 cat toys and they just help themselves;)

7:54 am

herinfernallady

that is diffently cute Cross

7:54 am

crosshair

now if we could only get them to put the toys away afterwards;/

7:54 am

herinfernallady

Car It is one of those 3 light ones with a chain to the roof

7:55 am

crosshair

that is asking for it herin..though you could get the fan going once kitty if firmly attached:)))

7:55 am

redturtlehead

good luck coss.

7:55 am

herinfernallady

its not a fan one

7:56 am

Scrabbler

My rabbits have boxes and toys too. They hide in the boxes and also chew them up. They have rings of keys and jingle bells and it is funny to hear a bunny tossing those around.

7:56 am

herinfernallady

though fans are really fun for putting a sock on the edge or a pair of knickers and turning it on heigh

7:56 am

car.eeyore

Herin, I just wouldn't. Too many things could go wrong and the kitty (ies) might end up hurt if the fixture fell on them.

7:57 am

herinfernallady

Thanks I was brain storming the idea. maybe when she is supervised (im sitting right next to her. I just need an anchoring point.

7:57 am

herinfernallady

Scabbler that is cute

Ever since The Incredibles unpopularized capes the flying has been much harder.

Vicuna

Oh, man. That IS big!

11:31 am

Vicuna

Have you started the painting yet?

11:32 am

its small for most painters, but inking up that size using a 0.18mm pen takes forEVER

I'm having a day off today

11:32 am

Atalante

dont' even want to think about it today!

11:33 am

I can imagine. What's the color scheme to be? Will all the Noldorin crests be all their different colors?

11:33 am

Vicuna

Oh, oops. Sorry for requesting thought! lol

11:33 am

Atalante

all the crests will be their correct colours, I *hope*. So it should be mainly blue, red, gold

11:34 am

Atalante

LOL I dont mind this! This is fun. The picture isn't even in the room, I'm hiding it downstairs, so things are happy!

11:34 am

Vicuna

Very rich.

11:34 am

Atalante

it's going to be really bright and colourful, probably too bright and colourful, but the Noldor must have loved colour and gold and jewels adn rishness

11:34 am

Atalante

lots of dark dark blue and crimsons to counteract the bright

Thank you Haz ..I thought so especially as I had my disabled mum with me

Is it too late to nominate you for the Queen's New Year's Honours list?

11:53 am

Vicuna

Hmmm... I still need to lay in vast quantities of meat and potatoes for the in-laws.

11:53 am

Atalante

i just have to buy ice cream. I have to do this because I asked husband to buy ice cream, and he came back with coffee ice cream. I think even most babblers know I'm horribly allergic to coffee ...

11:53 am

caitlyn

I will wait for the Birthday Honours list

11:53 am

Haz1558

Fair enough, caitlyn. You're very gracious.

11:54 am

Judi

Sounds like a plot to murder you, Ata. What was he thinking??

11:54 am

Atalante

sad, isnt' it?"he didn't think"

11:54 am

Haz1558

Do you find his inattention endearing or maddening? Wondering why I'm posing such a silly question...

11:54 am

caitlyn

Why thank you Haz
Ata is he better now?

11:54 am

Hmm, I must take a break now, I have My Sister's Keeper to read for Biology extra credit. :) See you later!

Bye itsonme

11:55 am

I always find that failure to think inevitably ends badly.

11:55 am

Atalante

does the fact he nearly had the ice cream shoved somewhere painful answer your question? :P

11:56 am

Haz1558

Bonus points to you, Ata, for restraint shown.

11:56 am

caitlyn

Yup thats the answer I expected

11:58 am

Atalante

I just don't find "I didn't think" a good answer. If he was allergic to something, I would always make sure I wasn't picking up something with that in it!

I always remember a college roommate who came home at 3am before exams and turned up the stereo full blast. When the rest of us appeared in the doorways blearily she cheerfully gushed, "Oh sorry! I just didn't think!"

Were you able to think of any cutting remarks? I always think of my best retorts hours after the event.

12:01 pm

caitlyn

Vi or me Haz?

12:01 pm

Vicuna

I think the only cutting remarks I ever seem to make are the ones when I would have done better to keep my mouth shut. =s

12:02 pm

Haz1558

Anybody - but probably Vi.

12:02 pm

caitlyn

LOL Vi

12:02 pm

Vicuna

Ever since high school I've been trying to train myself NOT to let loose with the cutting remarks.

12:03 pm

12:09 pm

Vicuna

FMitch

Fun grid today I thought and this mild weather can carry on for as long as it wants too.

12:13 pm

Atalante

now we just need Lori(Canada) and Mab

12:13 pm

Haz1558

I can't remember when it's on. The only thing I definitely want to see is the new Wallace and Grommit.

12:14 pm

caitlyn

I cant stand them !!

12:14 pm

Haz1558

Lori(Canada) may well still be Christmas shopping.

12:14 pm

Vicuna

Oooh, I love Wallace and Gromit. When's that out?

12:14 pm

FMitch

She's not online so lets hope she is out rather than lines down

12:14 pm

Trifioso

there is a new wallace and gromit! YAY!!! we were just speaking of them, as we set up the train set....

12:14 pm

Haz1558

To be shown on BBC on Christmas Day. 'A matter of Loaf and Death'

12:15 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

ooooh, can't wait! wallace and gromit are COOL

12:15 pm

Vicuna

Maybe we can find it on-line here.

12:15 pm

Judi

Love Wallace and Grommit. Oooooh, cheeeeeese.

12:15 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

hey, they're supposed to show Doctor Who on Christmas . . . grrrrrr

12:15 pm

Haz1558

It's not a full feature length, though.

12:15 pm

Atalante

cheeeeeese!

12:15 pm

caitlyn

FM I made a mistake, granddaughters new show is The little house of horrors!

12:15 pm

Vicuna

12:16 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

12:16 pm

Yay Dr Who special at 6pm GMT Christmas day weeee *blush*

12:16 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

***JEALOUSY***

12:16 pm

Atalante

Dr Who with all 10 Drs

12:17 pm

Haz1558

Of course, I'm old enough to remember the very first ones...

12:17 pm

FMitch

Ahhh ... that makes a tad more sense cait!! Thought rocky Horrow was a little too much for a youngsters school show lol

12:17 pm

caitlyn

Brilliant I cant wait to see it

12:17 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

atalante, you are going to make be lose all my blood sugar LOL

12:17 pm

caitlyn

Put it down to a senior moment FM LOL

12:17 pm

Atalante

LOL sorry!

12:18 pm

Vicuna

lol - The idea of schoolchildren putting on the Rocky Horror Picture Show!!! lol

12:18 pm

Haz1558

It's a wonder FM hadn't arranged for pickets outside the school 'Keep horror out!' 'Our children are innocent!'

12:18 pm

caitlyn

Ata you must blame Fm, she is retiring in the New Year

12:19 pm

Vicuna

Are you kidding, Haz? She'd have been waiting at the doors with her rice and newspaper and all the other props!

12:19 pm

FMitch

herin and I did go intot a state of shock at the thought. Ummm Haz you must have missed the part in the chat when I said I loved the show

12:19 pm

caitlyn

Ok laugh at me, but horror is in the title!

12:19 pm

Judi

Oh, dear. LSHs is not for children. That would be disturbing.

12:19 pm

Atalante

One of the greatest things for me ever was seeing Tim Curry on stage. He is soooo amazing

12:19 pm

FMitch

Oh so quick Vi :)

12:20 pm

FMitch

LSH is better for kids than Rocky Horror

12:20 pm

caitlyn

They are doing LSH I have got that bit rightLOL

12:20 pm

FMitch

.. if you had to choose that is (she said hastily)

12:20 pm

Vicuna

What age is this show, caitlyn?

12:21 pm

Haz1558

Can I tell you a terrible thing? Extreme Protestants here once protested at the school staging 'The Sound of Music' because they didn't want their daughters dressed up as nuns. It happened YEARS ago.

12:21 pm

Atalante

I saw LSD there for a moment

12:21 pm

Atalante

nooooooo!

12:21 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

LSH ??

12:21 pm

Judi

I'd have to agree there. LSH has been done in high school plays. Just making the giant plant would be an interesting challenge for any low budget arts department.

12:21 pm

caitlyn

Vi 11 to 16

12:21 pm

Vicuna

Sigh. People pick the silliest things to get upset about.

12:21 pm

Atalante

LItle Shop of Horrors

12:21 pm

Haz1558

Yes. I know, I had blocked out the memory but the talk of school productions brought it back. I may need th7.

12:21 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

"extreme" protestants who have to protest everything? LOL

12:22 pm

Vicuna

Hmmm... Yes, Little Shop is really not meant to be a kids' show...

12:22 pm

caitlyn

LOL Haz

12:22 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

oh, duh. I have seen little shop of horros done by a high school. very "appropriate" so to speak

12:22 pm

jean1953

Good Evening Everyone :)

12:22 pm

Haz1558

Hello jean!

12:22 pm

Good evening jean

But I imagine you can edit as needed.

12:22 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

evening, jean (she says from michigan where it si 1:22pm)

12:23 pm

FMitch

I almost made a faux pas when googling my new icon - I typed in christmas balls and then changed it to baubles :)

12:23 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

if you edit out the sex from rocky horror show ain't much left . . .

12:23 pm

jean1953

How is everyone's christmas preparations going? or is it not a good subject lol

12:23 pm

caitlyn

rofl FM

12:23 pm

Judi

LOL, FM. Bet that was interesting!

12:23 pm

Vicuna

We did a gorgeous production of Man of LaMancha with middle school (11-14) which worked beautifully despite having to edit out all implication of Aldonza being a prostitute!

12:23 pm

FMitch

Hello jean - all done here

12:23 pm

Haz1558

I'm bearing up bravely, jean. We will smile and appear calm.

12:23 pm

12:24 pm

Vicuna

12:24 pm

Haz1558

JUST the food shop? That's the bit I dread the most.

12:24 pm

jean1953

LOL I love it Haz sounds like me lol

12:25 pm

caitlyn

I did that today and need th7/44 to recover

12:25 pm

jean1953

I am lucky this year Haz all offspring left home so I figured its time for me to go and eat them out of house and home lol

12:25 pm

FMitch

LOL the th7 ws my last word

12:25 pm

Haz1558

I nearly lost it one year when, having just about completed the task, some clown decided to phone a bomb warning to the shop. We had to clear out. I found it hard to smile and appear cheerful that day.

12:25 pm

12:26 pm

FMitch

I was in Tescos today and it wasn't too bad it was the traffice on the roads that was the nightmare

12:26 pm

Trifioso

oh, fine. got all the th7 I need for the day :)

12:26 pm

Haz1558

What really annoyed me, apart from me having to leave my shopping was that the poor shop assistants (yes it was Tesco) were going to have to put all the stuff back again. Trolley loads!

12:26 pm

Vicuna

sa6/18 - some of the stones in Stonehenge, rhymes with setting illegal fires

12:30 pm

stidmama

I learned years ago that no matter what I did it wouldn't be good enough. So I gave up and they stay away and we are fine...

12:30 pm

Vicuna

lol, Haz. Keep in mind that father-in-law is a farmer. He likes a woman to be a decent housekeeper, but tea towels is one step too much for him, oroned or no!

12:30 pm

stidmama

tea towels? *confused mama look* napkins?

12:30 pm

caitlyn

Nice to see you also stid, how are you?

12:30 pm

12:31 pm

MonkeyGames

Hi there folks! Poor Walter is in bed after a very nasty emotional crash based on having a bad cold in his nose that he bruised yesterday falling over on teh path to the woods... the parents among you will recognize how heartbreaking this is but how relieved I am that he is peacefully asleep. So how is everyone?

12:31 pm

stidmama

YAY car!

12:32 pm

FMitch

congrats car!

12:32 pm

You too! You are less pretty in this icon...

12:32 pm

jean1953

Hello Monkey:)

12:32 pm

Trifioso

yeah car! that's my girl! should have known - a week in and she is kicking my a3

12:33 pm

caitlyn

Hi MG he will bounce back by tomorrow though

12:33 pm

Trifioso

but more seasonally appropriate...

12:33 pm

MonkeyGames

Thanks, Stid. He'll feel much better in the mornoing. It IS just a cold and it WAS just before bedtime. Still breaks my heart, you know?

12:33 pm

Trifioso

mg - how much is actual hurt, and how much is just seasonal overload and needing pampering? (considering bashing my own nose, if it works....)

12:34 pm

MonkeyGames

Yes he will, CAit. It's not like that mystery virus anyway! Sprite's daughter is only just now feeling better-- and Walter still has the odd bad day.

12:35 pm

stidmama

oh no! didn't realize sprite had sick children again... *sigh* so glad mine haven't had anything major this year (unlike last year when one of them missed 20% of school days)

12:35 pm

MonkeyGames

I think it is a lot of pain but not like an ear infection or something, Trif, combined with getting up very early, not napping anymore, and as you say seasonal overload. No question it was really hurting but he, unlike me, responds VERY well to Tyleniol and I made sure he got one befor ebed. And now he's asleep. Oh, and i found the prescription toddler anticongestant too, so that should also be kicking in.

12:36 pm

MonkeyGames

Same one, Stid.

12:36 pm

MonkeyGames

This is teh mystery virus Walter brought back from Cal and gave her kids back in June. It's a REALLY nasty one!

12:36 pm

MonkeyGames

I know it must originate over there because I an dDanny never got sick.

12:37 pm

stidmama

golly gee, monkey -- what a rough one.

12:37 pm

MonkeyGames

Ouch thoug, 20%? What was the problem?

12:37 pm

stidmama

the younger stidkid's history class is just studying how the Europeans brought disease to the native americans...

12:38 pm

MonkeyGames

I know this is all par for the course because your cousin(?) said so...

12:39 pm

MonkeyGames

Oh man, yes, the transmission of illness in those days.... You know what my aunt does for a living. I know a Lot about those days!

12:39 pm

caitlyn

Look at the time!! I really must go to the kitchen and get some supper on!! I have the computer to myself tomorrow as kiddies have gone back. see you tomorrow, take care all, bye

I haven't updated the blog for the grandparents in a YEAR!!!! You're doing fine.

wow, okay. I feel better now (grin)

12:51 pm

Trifioso

oh, jeez, dog barf. When is school vacation over?

12:51 pm

MonkeyGames

Did I tel you Walter rejected his plastic guitar recently because it is a toy? That he suddenly wants to watch people playing acoustic guitar on YouTube? That he talks constantly about my grandfather the folk singer? That he dropped enough commentary we orderd him a professional children's model guitar for Christmas?

12:52 pm

MonkeyGames

Don't say dog barf. I have a Great Dane with food issues. Don't make me think about it.

12:52 pm

stidmama

WOW trifioso... you are getting the full treatment aren't you?

12:52 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

your grandfather the folksinger? <perk>

12:52 pm

MonkeyGames

He is. I told him yesterday.

12:53 pm

Trifioso

cool mg! you will NOT be sorry. It is a great gift, music. And hey - it could have been drums. Tertiare took up trumpet this year. it is not going well. She LOVES it.

12:53 pm

Yeah! If she gets out for a good solid run daily she just sleeps. Like a breathing piece of furniture!

12:53 pm

That sounds like my trumpet experiances! I played from 7 years old to 11.

12:53 pm

I'm in Holland, there's probably one within a few miles, Gwen.

lol

12:54 pm

and what happened at 11? parents went deaf, or just dropped off cliff?

12:54 pm

stidmama

oooh. no drizzle on top of the snow please... we have enough trouble on the roads!

12:54 pm

MonkeyGames

Thing is they'[re actually German. Odd.

12:55 pm

accidentally "ran over" trumpet with car, maybe????

12:55 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

monkey, um, okay. they are kind of scarcein the us, unless you know where to dig

12:55 pm

hurshy

i found amsterdam such a weird place to visit. you have the tulips and windmills and delft stuff all right next to the boob-and-weenie salt & pepper shakers in the same gift shop...

12:55 pm

MonkeyGames

Just kind of lost interest, probably mainly because of teh major gap in my front teeth closing; that was why Satchmo could play those high notes and then I just couldn['t anymore...

12:56 pm

MonkeyGames

Oh yeah, Hursh! The red light district is a family neighborhood. That said I'm still glad we moved to Haarlem when Walter was 1 1/2... less, ummm, garish here. We have it all, it's just more tastefully displayed.

12:56 pm

Trifioso

really??? I collect s&ps, so maybe I will have to plan a visit...

12:56 pm

stidmama

oh really? *perks up* stidkid (who plays beautifully == trumpet since he was 8) loves to go for high notes, but they are a bit ragged still...

12:56 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

and you can't spit water 30 feet without that gap, either

12:56 pm

hurshy

i dunno why they can't keep it a little more separate for those of us who are only interested in the charming aspects

12:56 pm

MonkeyGames

So true! I loved doing that... until I was 11!

12:57 pm

MonkeyGames

Now now, don't knowck teh culture here... you folks are seen as a bunch of prudes... personally I fall somewhere in the middle.

12:57 pm

torgone

Boobs are charming ..

12:57 pm

stidmama

maybe they don't know that the sex is actually off-putting to many people?

12:57 pm

hurshy

if i want to be a prude, why can't i be a prude?

12:57 pm

MonkeyGames

Besides, just visit other towns. Amsterdam has a reputation to keep up.

12:57 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

books are charming, too LOL

12:58 pm

MonkeyGames

It is limited to certain areas, as far as the blatancy is concerned, Stid.

12:58 pm

stidmama

I suppose they figure if you dn't like it you won't go there... but then you miss a lot of the nice things I suppose

12:58 pm

Trifioso

my sil is a psychiatrist in ireland, and one of her patients snuck out of the hospital and ran away to amsterdam. They couldn't go much about it, as patient was over 18, and, as my sil noted "self-medicating should not prove a problem in amsterdam" tee hee!

12:58 pm

stidmama

of course, I won't ever go there, so for me the question is moot

12:58 pm

stidmama

rofl tri!

12:58 pm

hurshy

it's actually the MIXTURE that i find unpleasant. there are times i want to think about windmills and tulips and times i want to think about sex, and those are not the same times.

12:58 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i'm kind of prudish about me and sex, but other poeple? or salt-and-pecker shakers? who cares???

12:58 pm

MonkeyGames

Nah. There are indeed a couple of small landmarks worth seeing in those areas but they're not the end-all-be-all.

12:59 pm

OK, back. Yes, Amsterdam is a bit of a culture shock... but THAT sort of thing really is (legally!) limited to one area. And there are a lot of things about the working girls that I think should be in the tourist pamphlets, like that most of them are just saving up for college, that if clients won't adhere to hygeine demands or get ummmm... uppity, police response is 3 minutes, and thet they have a great union.

hints for the A on the far left? or the A on the far right?

1:08 pm

hurshy

at5/6 babblets...

1:08 pm

far right A is A + type of dancing (think gregory hines)

1:08 pm

The A on the far right is an adjective that describes Gregory Hines when he's at work.

monkey, does that mean it is a done, acceptable thing? are people's husbands free to say "just popping out for a whore, back soon..." - that sort of thing?

1:09 pm

1:10 pm

1:10 pm

a4 = a + the upper most part of a thing

1:11 pm

EvaNadine

TY gwen!

1:11 pm

Trifioso

are there male ones, in case women have the need?

1:11 pm

MonkeyGames

Well, it is generally up to the wives and most of those family guys at least don't talk about it... generally it is a tourist and lonely guy industry. But yes, they have windows in the red light district where they sit waiting for clients to appear.

1:12 pm

MonkeyGames

There are male ones, pseudo female ones, whatever you like. Big ones, small ones, whatever. No underage ones though, not since legalization.

1:15 pm

Yeah, suddenly here too. That stupid French tourist incident has actually resulted in the mushroom ban. Now people into that have to get themn from street pushers instead of clean above board grow operations.

1:16 pm

Trifioso

and hey - here in america the scary religious types are trying to drag us back into the dark ages....

1:16 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

why do they think that outlawing mushrooms (or whatever) is good for anyone? oh i forgot, it's good for pols and cops and lawyers etc

1:16 pm

Oh yes, But don't worry, Harry Potte... I mean Balkenende plans to chuck us right in after you!

His right-wing party was elected on a sympathy vote because of teh first political assassination here since the 17oo's. The guy assassinated was killed because he ran fur farms, but it;'s his other proclivities that are being foised on us now.

The health care system is descending rapidly toward US levels, home care benefits are declining, the work situation is appalling...

They DID still cover my MRI in the basic insurance though, but I'll bet I'd have to pay for one next year... and yet our taxes, extremely high due to the BENEFITS we ge... ummm, got... keep going UP.

1:24 pm

MonkeyGames

Duno wat you folks pay, but our income tax is 19 1/2 %.

1:25 pm

MonkeyGames

For which we used to get all medications paid for up front, all medical care except electional, great oparks and well-maintained woodlands, endangered species protection, ladnmark restoration, 6 months' maternity leave, daycare for the less fortunate...

1:25 pm

MonkeyGames

Some of that we still get.

1:26 pm

When Walter suffered his collapsed lung at 1 day old that would have cost us about $600,000 in the US, I checked... We didn't have to pay a thing so I stoill feel ok about the taxes.But the trend is NOT good...

MG there are people far worse off than you right now...doesn't sound like you have much to complain about yet I feel for your struggle as someone with a chronic illness herself

1:30 pm

MonkeyGames

Midwife and assistant, transport to hospital, tests, specialist neonatal ambulance, crash team, multiple x-rays and tests and ultrasounds to check for infections and brain damage, on week neonatal intensive care, one week recovery in specialist baby wing, breast pump, feeding and care traininbg, overnoight visit to "practice" for home care, transport home, several follow up visits. Not a penny.

1:32 pm

MonkeyGames

Yes, I KNOW how fortunate I ma to live here regarding health care, But it is rapidly going away and I don;t want to see that haoppening. Believe me, I have been through severe chronic pain for years with no care or insurance, have nursed a husband through a chipped spine with no medical care, and have seen REAL poverty. I know I'm still priveleged.

1:32 pm

MonkeyGames

I just want to spread the good times, not see the bad on the increase...

1:33 pm

I agree with you, monkey - the european system is great, and we really should steal it here.

1:33 pm

MonkeyGames

I get a social work Bachelor's Degree bext week and I do know what there is out there. Walter's current best friend is from Burundi as we.ll... and I though I had seen hard times in teh Mexican countryside!

1:34 pm

MonkeyGames

Oh but Trif... that'd mean importing the "dreaded European Socialism" (quoting Bush...)

1:35 pm

raelite

I can't type for people in the USA but I think a 10% + tax hike would be hard for them to swallow in order to get the medical benefits they need and deserve

I'm not naive. The changes would require more than the system could bear. But maybe some inroads could be made. This whole issue was Hillary's baby... baybe there's hope over there yet. We atarted out this way and gradually got worse; that's easier by far than wholesale change.

1:37 pm

1:52 pm

MizHoffle

I was thinking Raggedy...

1:52 pm

MonkeyGames

There is one in Amsterdam. They do feature a lot of Herve. He is the Smurfs guy, He's Belgian, but that's Flemish Belgian so that would mean it was quite the grey area until 200 years or so ago...

1:52 pm

Spelling difference between English and Dutch then. I'll e-mail my Flemish friend for the REAL spelling.

1:55 pm

just don't wrap the presents with whatever you used to clean the bathroom

1:55 pm

MonkeyGames

No good e-mailing the Wallonian guy; then we'd just have 4 spellings to deal with.

1:55 pm

Atalante

it's hergÃ©. according to the tintin museum

1:56 pm

Atalante

that is what Remi decided his pen name would be

there is a tintin MUSEUM???? oh, heaven....

1:56 pm

Atalante

oh yes. I've been dragged around it LOL

1:57 pm

MonkeyGames

OK, then that is what I expect to hear from the Flemish guy. 'Cause they (that museum) would know. The Dutch spell it differently is all, but in all things I believe in going with the native, the original, whenever psosible.

1:57 pm

Atalante

as well as far too many Tintin shops!

1:57 pm

2:22 pm

periwinkle

I don't know any Hebrew

2:22 pm

Atalante

ty! I have been realising recently how little I know about Jewish tradition and language, so any time anyone mentions anything here, you're going to get me asking about it!

Ata, you can always ask me. While I'm not very religious [actually not at all], I've lived in Israel for a year

2:24 pm

Atalante

TY Bichon, I will!

2:24 pm

Atalante

I'd love to go to Israel

2:24 pm

mab

bichon: did you find it difficult to learn modern hebrew?

2:25 pm

itsonme

I need GA6/27 (the last one) and the 7/40 following it

2:26 pm

o-o

to assemble at the river

2:26 pm

itsonme

ohh, how did i miss that one? thank you babble!

2:26 pm

bichon

No, as I had never learned biblical Hebrew. It's a very easy language except for a different script and the lack of vowels [the only real difficulty]. The construction of the language is quite regular with a dependence on three letter roots to form word which relate to another. The word for book has a three letter root and words for library and school come from it

2:27 pm

bichon

There is no continuous tense which simplifies things a whole lot

2:27 pm

itsonme

Im have reached the double digits! 94 to go.

2:28 pm

mab

I would like to learn. I'm good with the various scripts. Must try.

2:29 pm

bichon

The letters [characters] actually do match pictures [have to use imagination].

2:30 pm

mab

it has always amazed me that people can read without vowels, simply understanding the context.

2:30 pm

bichon

There are no lower case or upper case letters, or cursive vs. printed. And, if you're luck there are vowel added by little dots on the bottom of the letters

2:30 pm

Trifioso

ummm - the grid just informed me I have less than 1 minute left to finish the puzzle.....

2:30 pm

Atalante

isn't that quite similar to Arabic scripts?

2:30 pm

bichon

I thought of Hebrew as much simpler than German which has highly complex German.

2:31 pm

bichon

I'm not familiar at all with Arabic, but I would think so.

2:31 pm

bichon

*grammar

2:31 pm

itsonme

That happened to me yesterday Trifioso, odd isn't it?

2:31 pm

mab

yes, I know the vowels, but reading a newspaper, for example, seems difficult

2:31 pm

Atalante

the no-vowels and dots under letters to show vowels in very arabic

2:32 pm

mab

they are both semitic languages, so there must be some similarities.

2:32 pm

bichon

Some simpler newspapers do have the nikudot [dots] but, yest it is difficult. Fortunately, my emphasis was always on the spoken not written. Englis is so widely used in Israel that not knowing Hebrew is not a handicap. There is also a good English language newspaper, The jerusalem Post

2:33 pm

mab

but definitely not similar in aleph-bet

2:34 pm

bichon

For a Hebrew or Arabic speaker, it is fairly easy to learn the other language. It's widely taught in Hebrew language schools in Israel.

2:34 pm

Atalante

noooo. I tried to learn Egyptian Arabic for a while, and got at least somewhere, if not very very far

2:34 pm

mab

thanks bichon, that's very illuminating

Hello, mab. Ata was telling me you've been around. How goes it?

2:36 pm

I can read my siddur as easily as if it were in English, but understand only a few words.

2:37 pm

Atalante

well I saw a TV programme about Jewish art and architecture, and saw the DohÃ¡ny Street Synagogue and fell in love

2:37 pm

mab

better, I think, vicuna

2:37 pm

I can't focus on religious text, most Hebrew for younger children

Better is good. In fact, better is even better.

tell him to find something impressive like an 8

3:07 pm

I do still need an 8, but I'm not optimistic that he'll find it for me. Still, you never know... He is, of course, a Child of Glory and therefore so much smarter than average, etc etc...

In a career that has spanned nearly five decades and millions of records, The Crickets are unquestionably The American Rock and Roll band. Since the groupâ€™s founding in 1957 they have influenced virtually every major rock performer in the United States and abroad â€“ from Bruce Springsteen and Bob Dylan to the Rolling Stones and the Beatles (whose name was even Crickets-inspired).

Each day I'd wake up and look at the sky
think of the meadows where I used to lie
then I'd remember all of that's gone

get what you came for, before it's too late
get what you came for, the meadows can wait.

I do have one, will see if I can find it

11:48 pm

jillibus

I didn't do a soup one

11:48 pm

tygerbryght

I was struggling with the bottom of the alphabet

jillibus

flosey -- you got it right -- it's supposed to be soup today

11:49 pm

tygerbryght

flosey, I reloaded and it's showing carrot soup

11:49 pm

Pinikula

did y'all finish?

11:49 pm

tygerbryght

but it was showing that when you came in

11:49 pm

tygerbryght

I did, barely

11:49 pm

jillibus

dang, I got flosey all confused -- I'm using the next icon because I don't have a soup

11:50 pm

jillibus

and I won't have time tomorrow -- family coming and things to do

11:50 pm

tygerbryght

this is certainly soup weather here right now, but they're predicting low 70s Wed thru Fri

11:50 pm

jillibus

her soup looks so good!

11:51 pm

tygerbryght

it's pretty, and I love raw carrots - especially freshly grated - but carrot soup is somehow not that appealing. I do like roast carrots, or carrots IN soup

11:52 pm

tygerbryght

what I'd love to have is a nice bowl of onion soup with a nice thick layer of melted cheese on top

11:52 pm

jillibus

tyger, we are piled high with snow here

11:52 pm

tygerbryght

the dark, well-sauteed onions :)

11:52 pm

tygerbryght

how are your roads, jilli?

11:53 pm

jillibus

under the cheese on the onion soup must be a slice of French bread!

11:53 pm

jillibus

I haven't been out but my neighbour says they're passable

11:53 pm

rururocks

crisp french bread

11:53 pm

Pinikula

brb...pup patrol

11:54 pm

jillibus

oh yes, ruru!

11:54 pm

cjmomma

finally laundry all done

11:54 pm

tygerbryght

I don't require the bread, just dark soup full of onions, with lotsa light cheese on top, oven-warmed until it has a nice golden brown top

11:54 pm

tygerbryght

vg, cj

11:54 pm

tygerbryght

hey, ruru

11:55 pm

tygerbryght

then your family should have no problem getting there?

11:55 pm

rururocks

the trick is sauteeing the onions with just a little butter and a tablespoon of basalmic vinegar..

11:55 pm

jillibus

so I'm told, tyger!

11:55 pm

jillibus

mmmm, ruru!

11:55 pm

rururocks

stock should be chicken and duck (if you can do it)

11:56 pm

tygerbryght

I prefer a beef stock, not too salty

11:56 pm

flosey

darn, can't find it, I know I had it on here. Hubby has his mom's scrapbook of old Christmas cards - there was a full page write-up in the Times-Colonist about it

11:56 pm

tygerbryght

chicken is okay, but no duck, thx

11:56 pm

jillibus

flosey -- vintage card is the NEXT theme -- I jumped the gun, so please keep your lovely soup!

11:57 pm

tygerbryght

just realized I barked my thumb knuckle a good one getting back to the computer last time. there's a drop of blood

11:57 pm

jillibus

I don't make French Onion Soup, just like the kind we used to get at MOntreal restaurants

11:58 pm

rururocks

with french onion soup it is really important to cut back (way back0 on the salt.. that is a mistake most chefs make.

11:58 pm

jillibus

I'm watching the Nutcracker on PBS, by the San Francisco Ballet = lovely

11:58 pm

tygerbryght

we *very* definitely agree on that, ruru!

11:58 pm

Pinikula

back

11:58 pm

jillibus

and original

11:58 pm

flosey

I love french onion soup, haven't made it in a long time, must do that soon

11:59 pm

rururocks

otherwise you can't taste the carmelized onions and the stock

11:59 pm

tygerbryght

just the tiniest bit of salt is right in onion soup. it overpowers the onions, somehow

11:59 pm

rururocks

I should post my recipe.. it is really very good.

11:59 pm

jillibus

caramelized

11:59 pm

tygerbryght

the cheese has plenty of salt in it; no more is really needed

11:59 pm

jillibus

you do that, ruru!

11:59 pm

rururocks

thank you professor jilli

11:59 pm

flosey

please do ru, we both have to cut back on salt here

11:59 pm

jillibus

or you can come here and cook up a storm :)
