Professor Peter Boyd's engagement to the Dean's daughter is upset by the revelation that his father was a habitual convict. To prove the Dean's genetic theory of inherited traits as wrong, Boyd starts a 'secret' experiment. He borrows the science department's chimpanzee with the goal of showing that it is one's environment that affects your reaction to right and wrong. Written by Richard Stephens {richards@metronet.com}

Prof. Peter Boyd is engaged to brainy dean's daughter Valerie. But the Dean wants the engagement ended when he finds that Peter's father was a crook. To prove that environment is more important than heredity, Peter adopts lab chimp Bonzo and vows to "teach this monkey the difference between right and wrong." He hires young nursemaid Jane Linden to "mother" Bonzo; but will Valerie understand if she finds Jane about the house?

Jellen

Goodbye all...see you soon...

1:16 am

PAV3

oh, ok....other than the whipped egg whites on top, and eggs in the filling, there's no dairy ...with cheesecake, there's dairy in the eggs and the cream cheese itself...

1:16 am

Hugabugs

duh... I should have had those last 2 id's

1:16 am

jillibus

maybe you have something similar...? Ask the druggist

1:17 am

westford

1:17 am

mrpresident

hmmm, the eggs might be a problem

1:17 am

jillibus

1:17 am

ardilla

baa

1:18 am

mrpresident

1:18 am

westford

1:18 am

jillibus

It's not a prescription thing here. We can get lactose-free mild and I use it all the time

1:18 am

mrpresident

what type of sheep? :D

1:19 am

mrpresident

Jilli, we still cant get it... if it is a food additive, it is not allowed cause of our strick Drug Board

1:19 am

PAV3

it's the cream cheese I can't eat...eggs for some reason are fine, perhaps it's a milkfat content issue

1:19 am

mrpresident

We are not allowed alot of things in this country

1:19 am

mrpresident

PAV, maddison gets sick on all dairy. It is quite repulsive!

1:20 am

mrpresident

I don't envy her future boyfriends

1:20 am

jillibus

*milk
well, it's a food subtractive, not an additive, lol!

1:20 am

PAV3

and when I last checked, it would cost a boatload to ship a cheesecake to you MrP...

1:20 am

mrpresident

They will take her out to dinner, dine and whine her... then she will throw up on them!

1:20 am

mrpresident

you can't even do that PAV! they would take it at the Border!!!

1:20 am

PAV3

can i try the egg substitutes?

1:20 am

ardilla

i have a little pink/white sleeping ewe pillow (about football size) that i'm playing with

1:21 am

jillibus

maybe she'll outgrow all that, mrp

1:21 am

mrpresident

yes!! that might work!!... do they have egg white substitute??

1:21 am

westford

oh how cute

1:21 am

mrpresident

jilli, I am sure she will, cause I keep putting dairy into her food (little bits at a time). I believe in introducing the allergen out

1:21 am

PAV3

I think so...will check, and test it on my guinea piggies (aka "friends")

1:22 am

mrpresident

How are you doing, WingSib? Your Path any smoother yet?

2:21 am

jillibus

Our Dane names were complicated. Titandane was our kennel name, in honour of our first Dane, Ch. Lord Titan of Maywood, CD, who came from English Moonsfield lines. We imported a bitch from those lines. All their names began with T and we continued that tradition. We also had categories for each litter. The first was Jewels, so we had Topaz, Tortoiseshell, Touchstone, Trinket, etc. Then we had call names for them which followed the alphabet for each litter. Our last litter was the Architecture category -- Tower, Tracery, Taj Mahal, etc. Their call names were I (our 9th litter) so our American and Canadian Champion Titandane's Taj Majal was merely Imp to us.

2:22 am

lol jilli! Imp is great!

thanks sprite congrats on your new arrival Dana she did a good job

2:25 am

sprite

they can't have been other than sweet, jilli. Not with a breeder like you. Who picks good lineages and makes sure they get great socialization.

2:25 am

sprite

Dana certainly did, lobo :)

clue for cl8 pls?

2:25 am

loredana

i second that Sprite

2:26 am

jillibus

WE were given a hard time by the established US breeders in the 70s because we insisted on Xrayed hips to avoid hip dysploasia -- now I think just about everyone does that and a lot more too.

2:26 am

loredana

sorry ardilla only just got here will keep Hayden in my prayers hugs

2:27 am

ardilla

ty lore

2:27 am

ardilla

cute pic herin

2:27 am

sprite

you were far ahead of your time, jilli. I actually think it is mandatory now, or close to that.

2:28 am

herinfernallady

Jill Hip scores and all that are all the go these days

2:28 am

jillibus

herin, that's glorious! I've saved it :)

2:29 am

herinfernallady

I thought you would like that. They are lovely dogs

2:30 am

jillibus

now there are designer dogs like labradoodles bred by profiteers with no proper health checks and a lot of lies

2:31 am

sprite

those should be forbidden and outlawed.

2:32 am

jillibus

but they're very popular and fashionable... people are unknowing.

2:32 am

sprite

only too true

2:33 am

herinfernallady

My G>F insists on all dogs have hip scores and such

2:33 am

melonheadjujube

hi, all! My solo went great! San Diego was lovely. It is the cleanest city I've ever seen.

2:33 am

sprite

whoooot melon! Congratulations on a job well done!

2:34 am

jillibus

not that I wish the dogs ill -- they are great pets, I hear, if they're healthy, but then carefully bred purebred pups may not find homes as easily

2:34 am

herinfernallady

WONDERFULL Melon

2:34 am

loredana

hi melon congrats on your solo

2:34 am

jillibus

Great going, melon!!! What a triumph!

2:35 am

herinfernallady

Jill the sodding RSPCA here says that pet stores are ok to sell dogs and cats I think its a load of shit

2:35 am

jillibus

I'd love to see SanDiego.

2:35 am

sprite

to me it is simple: dogs should be healthy and they should be able to be dogs. Overbreeding and weird combinations are a threat against those two conditions.

2:36 am

jillibus

You're 100% right, herin -- you too sprite

2:36 am

herinfernallady

Labradoddles are a great dogs for Guide Dogs

2:36 am

jillibus

what kind of a breeder sells to pet stores?

2:37 am

sprite

melon, was it a one-time-only thing or do you think you'll be invited more often? Sounds like something wonderful!

2:37 am

sprite

bad ones, jilli. For sure.

2:37 am

jillibus

so are the purebreds, herin

2:38 am

melonheadjujube

Thanks, everyone. I'm planning to write about it, but mostly I need to unwind. Who knew I'd conquer stage fright at 54? The people I worked with were wonderful, especially the bassists of the SD SYm. When a peer compliments my playing, then I know I've done well. I should figure out how to post an audio fule.

2:38 am

herinfernallady

I mean they are good for allergies

2:38 am

melonheadjujube

2:38 am

herinfernallady

Melon what do you play?

2:39 am

sprite

oh I would love that, melon! And double wtg at overcoming stage fright. You rock!

2:39 am

herinfernallady

Jill I agree. I hate petstores and the only pet stores I support are Pets At Home

herinfernallady

He was playing a computer game it was louder than the tc

2:48 am

herinfernallady

tv

2:48 am

sprite

noise can drive me crazy. Up to catatonic even if it is really bad.

2:49 am

herinfernallady

In class its ok but when im trying to think it drives me batty. I put my ipod on in my tut really low low enough to cut out the murmering but enough to hear what the teacher has to say if she needs to speak to us. The tut is like home work time

2:50 am

sprite

great idea, and yay for your teacher.

2:50 am

loredana

loredana

EU documents are awful in their language as they have to be translated across so many other languages

5:20 am

Atalante

no issue! I'm just learnign it for the first module for the MSc I've just started

5:20 am

herinfernallady

sorry if i seem a little dense

5:21 am

KatieMcG

Ok. We have to do them for our largest projects. Personally I think they are a good idea, anything that protects the environment is good

5:21 am

KatieMcG

I think they are best described as 'dry'

5:21 am

Atalante

blah blah blah directive 8,87,.7 paragraph 2 refers to directive 8.87.7 paragraph 7 and when one looks at directive ....

5:21 am

Atalante

etc!

5:22 am

Atalante

yes .... :)

5:22 am

mrpresident

oh I am cut about this topic... so will stay out of it. (I studied this in 1996)

5:22 am

KatieMcG

why would you seem dense herin, perfectly locical questions

5:22 am

herinfernallady

oh

5:22 am

Atalante

we are just starting a simulation study about a estuary / shore complex in wales. it's fun! so far.

5:22 am

KatieMcG

I learnt about EIAs at about that time as well MrP I did a post grad diploma in Law of the Built Environment

5:23 am

mrpresident

(btw, we knew back then what was coming... and it has all come to fruition)

5:23 am

kangabrat

5:23 am

Atalante

female version of an el5

5:24 am

herinfernallady

Mr Pres thats because its all about$$

5:24 am

KatieMcG

yep but the world buries its head in the sand. We are trying to build an 'eco town' and everyone says you will never get people to give up their cars. However when they can't afford the gas for them at least people in this town will have an alternative

5:24 am

kangabrat

thank you so much atalante! now i can finally go to bed.

5:24 am

mrpresident

exactly katie!

5:24 am

KristineNas

WTG KANGA

5:24 am

Atalante

and ppl do give up their cars if they have viable alternatives

5:25 am

KatieMcG

yep, catch22.

5:25 am

herinfernallady

and if the trains didn't SUCK

5:26 am

KatieMcG

we don't have enough rolling stock left as so many people have moved to the trains

5:26 am

herinfernallady

We got stuck with COnnex and Lynn

5:26 am

Atalante

and can't get more for a while, either, I can't remember the date that companies are bringing new rolling stock on line

5:27 am

KatieMcG

There is a new station in Corby but no trains as they haven't got any stock to put on the rails

5:27 am

Atalante

poor Corby!!

5:28 am

Atalante

do ppl have to go to Kettering?

5:29 am

KatieMcG

yep there is a good bus link between the two but most people tend to drive to kettering

5:29 am

Atalante

which clogs Kettering up, as if it wasn't already clogged up enough

5:30 am

KatieMcG

A big piece of snow just fell off my car, perhaps we are having a thaw!

5:30 am

Atalante

all our snow is gone :(

5:31 am

herinfernallady

5:32 am

Atalante

5:35 am

LoriP

See ya' in a bit Nono, tell him I said Hi. :)

5:35 am

Atalante

now I have nbt, I find I have the willpower to go and eat chocolate cake. I am taking my ever so exciting EIA files with me, in the theory that anything is more interesting when adde dto chocolate

5:35 am

Atalante

hi lorikins!

5:36 am

LoriP

Ata, have you heard the big news? Uni's internet MIGHT be fixed. We'll see how long it lasts....

5:36 am

Atalante

woohoooo!

5:36 am

Atalante

that;s worth celebrating :) she did come on last night for a bit to inform us that the KoG had bitten her nose

5:37 am

LoriP

She Babbled yesterday, I'll be curious to see if it happens 2 days in a row.

5:37 am

LoriP

The KofG had a traumatic day, what?

5:37 am

Atalante

I think Uni was ignoring her

5:38 am

LynnNate08

no 6/24 the sec one please?

5:38 am

Atalante

or beating her or something

5:39 am

LoriP

Possibly, but one can never tell. I suspect general all 'round deprivation.

5:39 am

mrpresident

oh man! Jay Leno is going after the Aussies tonight in his joke session!

5:39 am

LoriP

Sorry Lynn, I just got started.

5:39 am

Atalante

you'll have to get the truth out of her. Or Emma. She did mention having to bring the KoG over to yours for spaying

5:39 am

LynnNate08

nm found it

5:40 am

o-o

no 6 -- n + mollyc*****

5:40 am

LoriP

So, I'm confused. Will you be eating your files and reading chocolate cake, or.....

5:40 am

KatieMcG

Lol Lori

5:40 am

LynnNate08

no 6/18 first one?

5:40 am

LoriP

Did she tell you how insane the pricing is? It's ridiculous.

5:40 am

herinfernallady

MR P ts says its going to get hot as hades at your end of the world. News is to cancel all outside activities

5:41 am

LoriP

G'd morning Mrs Katie, how's tricks?

5:41 am

KatieMcG

good thanks Lori, office closed so working from home :-)

5:41 am

mrpresident

yep, thank goodness soccer grading isn't on this weekend! 45C is nasty!!

5:41 am

herinfernallady

This is from the medics Mr Pres

5:42 am

LoriP

Ooh, bonus day! Nice to see you using the time appropriately. :D

5:42 am

mrpresident

katie, if the office is closed... why work from home??

5:42 am

Atalante

yep. tea and cake. and stuff to read

5:42 am

Atalante

no she didn't! outrageous?

5:42 am

LoriP

Sounds like a snooze fest Ata, at least there's cake though!

5:43 am

LoriP

Over $200 difference......

5:43 am

Atalante

exactly :P anything is better with cake!

5:43 am

KatieMcG

If we have work at home we have to do it. Admin staff get the day for free. As you can see I'm taking plenty of breaks!

5:43 am

Atalante

wow!!! that's stupid

5:43 am

mrpresident

my contract stipulates I work from a specific address... if I am required to work in another address, I get paid a shirt-load of money more...
so I hope you are getting my deal!

5:44 am

LoriP

To a student, as you know, that's a lot of coinage.

5:44 am

Atalante

absolutely!

5:44 am

KatieMcG

my contract says I will do my job no matter how long it takes or where it takes me to!! We are paid very well though so it makes up for it

5:44 am

Atalante

ok, I'm off. bbl!

5:44 am

KatieMcG

Later Ata, enjoy your chocolate cake :-)

5:44 am

Frances

er

5:44 am

LoriP

Other than grappling with transportation issues, it's a no brainer to send Emma home, we'll take care of her and send her back ASAP

5:45 am

mrpresident

I am paid very well too... but i don't have the 'and other duties outside my role or office' in my contract

5:45 am

Atalante

(you'll put her in the shed, I know it!!!)

5:45 am

LoriP

Enjoy your stimulating read Ata Hari. :D G'd morning Frances!

5:45 am

Trifioso

aussie, why did I even bother yesterday? remember when I was pondering snow blowing? well, I did get the thing going (yay me!) went about four feet, all was well, and the thing seized up and DIED. I could get it going again, but the rotors wouldn't go, and the wheels wouldn't turn....I tried it several times, no change. I shut it off, cleaned out all the snow, and lo and behold, one of Secondo's friends cell phones, lost in the snow, was JAMMED in the rotors. Fished it out. Phone still works, snow blower won't budge. Why do I even try?????

7:00 am

ardilla

d's and e's done

7:00 am

ardilla

wow, lucky phone

7:01 am

Trifioso

I felt so defeated. I just sat in the snow and cried more than Michael Landon

7:01 am

7:01 am

damn Trif kid is lucky the phone still works

7:01 am

Aussieme

Well, ours was starting to clear a little, but then.... overnight, we now have about 2 feet of snow !!!!! grrrrr !

7:02 am

Trifioso

the whole point of using the snow blower was to save money on plowing...don't think I can afford to get blower fixed

7:03 am

NonoNanette

goodness Aussie that is a lot of snow for you!

7:03 am

crosshair

the shear pins are about 40 dollars depending on model..unless you took the reduction gears out of it..:/

7:03 am

7:03 am

Takuma Sato

(I had to be careful to avoid it there, or else I would have kept beating that poor horse)

7:42 am

Stool, as in chair? Or stool as in BM?

the latter

7:42 am

9:12 am

HiArd! Are you better today?

9:12 am

ardilla

nope

9:12 am

LoriP

That unacceptable Ata! Sleep tight ardilla.

9:12 am

DR1965

I am sorry to hear that. I will send healthy thoughts your way

9:13 am

LoriP

Finally at the c. This is the first grid in awhile taht the big words were that easy.

9:13 am

Atalante

they did however have lemon meringue pie which was a good substitute, even if I can make it better myself

9:14 am

Judi

Well, I don't know who to feel more sorry for, Ata or Ardilla.

9:14 am

LoriP

Hope it wasn't a "package" lemon meringue pie.

9:14 am

Atalante

lack of chocolate is always worst

9:14 am

DR1965

I would say Ardilla because she cant eat ht elemon meringue pie rght now

9:15 am

DR1965

sorry Ata

9:15 am

Atalante

no, it wasn't, though it did have that suspiciously fluorescent yellow

9:15 am

DR1965

* eat

9:15 am

DR1965

UGH! I do not like that Ata

9:16 am

Atalante

but it didnt taste of susoicious fluorescent yellow, so it was ok

9:16 am

Atalante

and they made gorgeous meringue, the nicest meringue I think I've ever had

9:16 am

Judi

Poor Ardilla. Get well soon. Hopefully, it's just a little too much food coloring, Ata. As long as it tastes like lemons, s'ok.

9:17 am

Atalante

'twasnt the best ever, but it was certainly good

9:17 am

LoriP

Well, lack of chocolate is a big void Ata, so your expectations fr the pie were prob'ally unrealistic. :D

9:18 am

Atalante

10:46 am

Atalante

partridges in pear trees?

10:47 am

LoriP

Ooh, the circus. Brilliant!

10:47 am

magazinemom

yes DR he has several friends, and one very best bud

10:47 am

LoriP

You could hire a nanny and pretend he's not yours.

10:47 am

Atalante

either that or he has to walk to London to seek his fortune

10:47 am

magazinemom

he just gets anxious and distracted by the busyness of the classroom

10:47 am

DR1965

is he bored or does he think school is beneath him

10:48 am

DR1965

AH! That is a real problem

10:48 am

magazinemom

I really think it's anxiety driven. He is seeing the Dr. this afternoon.

10:49 am

DR1965

that will help

10:49 am

magazinemom

my phantom for today: redolent

10:49 am

Atalante

counselling / drugs or the circus ....? I think cleaning out elephants would win any day :P

10:49 am

are there any sh's?

10:50 am

DR1965

no

10:50 am

magazinemom

ty dr

10:50 am

LoriP

#2, now 13 loaths school, always has. So far I've out manouvered him.

10:50 am

DR1965

lol Ata- I am going to save that one for my kid

10:51 am

magazinemom

I hated school too, but I think I was bored because I was about half a step ahead usually

10:51 am

LoriP

Child labor's been oulawed for some crazy reason. What about other continents?

10:51 am

Atalante

I adored school, but only because they let me skip 2 years as a small child, so I was always acadmically way ahead

10:51 am

DR1965

our issue right now is he doesnt want to " show his work" cuz he can do it in his head

10:52 am

DR1965

I did not like school but i did well

10:52 am

magazinemom

makes perfect sense to me DR

10:52 am

o-o

sometimes children hate school because of being bullied

10:52 am

DR1965

me too... that is the problem

10:52 am

Atalante

lots of child labour in India

10:52 am

rururocks

10:52 am

magazinemom

send them all to India! just kidding,, of course

10:53 am

LoriP

Don't forget school gears to average. Anything above or below is a battle.

10:53 am

DR1965

maybe we should just send them all to ATA with all th great ideas

10:53 am

LoriP

se 6, a group of 6 (poems)

10:53 am

bichon

Atually, here, the below average gets much more attention than the average

10:54 am

LoriP

India works for me. Is there paperwork?

10:54 am

BzznBea

I wonder if EL7 is something you only wear on the overhead train? Just a random thought...

10:54 am

Atalante

paperwork? nah. just a few rupees bribes here and there

10:54 am

DR1965

We are at a good school. He just hasn't been tested yet .. that will be in March

10:54 am

magazinemom

BR- he did have a kid kind of bugging him, nothing serious, we got it taken care of, but the kid's mom teaches there, so it was hard to say too much. Also, I went to school with his parents, so don't want to say, yeah we've been friends for ages and BTW your sone is a raging brat :-)

10:54 am

LoriP

lolol Bzz

10:55 am

LoriP

mag, I would, do and have. A screamin' demon is a screamin' demon, and I say so when necessary.

10:56 am

magazinemom

they have a pretty strict teacher and she nipped it before it got too bad

10:56 am

LoriP

***I wonder what Canadian $ exchange for rupee is right now***

10:56 am

LoriP

Well, that's a good thing mag. Some kids are just absolutely bored to tears with the material they're offered.

10:57 am

magazinemom

lol Lori- I would be more apt to send my 10 goinng on 35 year old daughter with her sassy mouth...she could tell them how to run the factories

10:57 am

DR1965

We could BOTh send our sassy 10 yr olds...

10:57 am

magazinemom

because she knows how to do everything and *big eyeroll* mom, you are so out of touch

10:58 am

bichon

do daughters come in any other way than sassy?

10:58 am

darlingsmile

I've got a seven year old they could have. Maybe we could go bulk rate and save on shipping.

10:58 am

DR1965

There ya' go, that's solved ! Next problem!

10:58 am

sorry, my hand must work faster than my mind

3:28 pm

KatieMcG

He died in July Stid. I still miss him but I decided not to get another hamster as with three cats it's just not fair

3:29 pm

stidmama

oh katie, I am so sorry. (sad mama look) he was a nice hamster.

3:29 pm

Vicuna

Someday I would like to find another word.

3:30 pm

stidmama

down to 100... (did you find "Mother Anne" yet, vi?)

3:30 pm

KatieMcG

he was lovely and was so important to my life when there was just the two of us, I think he would be irreplacable just because any new hamster would need to compete with a hubby and 3 cats

3:30 pm

stidmama

listing now.

3:30 pm

Mary

that

3:30 pm

stidmama

I am almost done eating lunch. When I finish, I have to go back to writing papers.

3:30 pm

3:30 pm

Atalante

he was there in the right time in the right place, and will always be the perfect hammie!

3:31 pm

Mary

that's exactly when I listed. go Stidmama

3:31 pm

stidmama

yes, he would be irreplaceable -- but I am glad you have the hubby and cats to help look after you. (notice it takes ALL of them to do what fuggles did?)

3:32 pm

KatieMcG

thinking of him still makes me smile. If I put him in his travel box in the car he would lie on his side playing dead until I tapped on it in fright, and when he got to where we were going he would trash his cage in a rock star type tantrum as he was so mad I put him in his travel box

3:32 pm

stidmama

LOL katie! what a character!

3:32 pm

Atalante

little brat :):)

3:33 pm

evanonut

oh its a stidder!

3:33 pm

KatieMcG

In the end I would put the whole cage in the car and he would sit on the top level looking out the window

3:33 pm
