see you tomorrow

1:36 am

mrpresident

hello all

1:40 am

sandyloo

wow pres i just read your profile- good luck and what a great thing to do!

1:40 am

jillibus

hi mrp

1:40 am

jillibus

and hi sandy

1:41 am

sandyloo

hi jilli , I ve just been lurking today

1:41 am

mrpresident

hi sandy! thanks hun... got to chat with a lady who takes children in today. She has long term children in here care.

1:42 am

mrpresident

hi jilli :))

1:42 am

sandyloo

how old are you looking at ?

1:43 am

mrpresident

oh sandy, i can't quite believe this disaster.300,000 hectares obliterated!! and so so many lives destroyed.

1:43 am

sandyloo

unbelievable and so sad- were they lit deliberately or was it lightning

1:43 am

mrpresident

we are looking at 8-12 year olds, siblings. there is a very high demand for that age group as people only want to take in little ones

1:44 am

sandyloo

i live in fear of a fire here- everytime i see one, i drive around to find just where it is-we have had some deliberately lit recently but we have been safe

1:45 am

sandyloo

You are certainly taking on a huge challenge, i think you are amazing!

1:46 am

mrpresident

hard to say if deliberate on the Vic fires, but definitely 2 of the NSW fires lit. They started court proceedings against one up here today

1:46 am

sandyloo

by the way pres.
What happened to your shoulder?

1:46 am

mrpresident

we are the same sandy... we live right on the kuringai national park, which is huge!

1:46 am

jillibus

I guess those firebugs are insane

1:47 am

sandyloo

fire is just about the scariest thing - yes jilli and they deserve much more severe punishment than they get

1:49 am

jillibus

like burning in hell

1:49 am

mrpresident

the australian bush is very very difficult to put out... and when a fire is screaming along at 120km/h, there is nothing anyone can do... it becomes a living 'animal'

1:49 am

mrpresident

I don't think anyone can understand just how bad this fire disaster is.... whole communities wiped out!

1:49 am

sandyloo

jilli, your little saying about men is soo true- i always tell my girls to appreciate the good things about them which they dont on a lot of occasions

1:50 am

sandyloo

pres, they have some pretty bad wildfires in the US

1:50 am

jillibus

sandy -- do you mean Shakesapear's words?

1:51 am

sandyloo

We have a dam and what you call a firefighter(a pump on a trailer) just in case

1:51 am

sandyloo

yes i do jilli

1:52 am

sandyloo

News was just talking about a guy who locked all his family photographs in a 'fireproof'safe in his cellar and when he got to it and opened it everything was destroyed.

2:09 am

mrpresident

I don't think people can quite understand the magnitude of this fire... there is nothing anyone could have done to stop the fire

2:10 am

Andree

jilli its not lack of bombers or firemen, its the nature of our fires, te eucalypts are full of oil

2:10 am

jillibus

I was thinking of when it first began

2:10 am

herinfernallady

Hi

The speed it went through was something else too.

2:10 am

Andree

the gum trees and the intense heat cause almost tonado like conditions

2:10 am

mrpresident

the gases that our bushland releases compounds the fire

2:11 am

herinfernallady

All the areas where i went and go are either gone or in danger. Yes. BFS mostly Volunteer

4:50 am

bfsog

Melbourne is quite safe

o-o

weight poses a conundrum being easier to find than to lose

5:06 am

lynxxx

16kg/35lb not too bad at all. Happily it is obvious which gives her more incentive. Just wish she had done this a few years ago..but she is 'ready' now and has the right mental attitude

5:06 am

Atalante

yes, it has to be the right time

5:11 am

Atalante

I don't know what suddenly makes it the right time, but something does!

5:12 am

8:20 am

jmcnrick

8:20 am

Scrabbler

And your heart rate will be 150 all day

stidmama

I think it's a word that means related to the pretty rock, actually

8:20 am

stidmama

in 6/21: in + what you drive your car on

8:20 am

fuquayvarina

ge5=an imaginary surface that coincides with mean sea level in the ocean and its extension through the continents.

hi vi and all joiners. bad haz. i have no idea what to do, she wanted to have strategy premeeting so now we will go i with no strategy. and she actually sent me an email late friday reminding me to charge my time to the new job, while she has me working on HER work.

Just kidding.

Yay for nrkii!

10:13 am

Shame. And I was just going to ask about tickets.

duet, anyway. A piano diet may be high on fiber, but is expensive.

10:13 am

a piano diet? is that new?

Lots of minerals, too, I suppose.

Maybe you do exercises to piano music?

10:13 am

Krista

bye nrkii

10:13 am

72 Temple Owl

yes, the white keys are very high in fiber whle low in calories. trouble is they taste like wood.

10:13 am

i really must do laundry today, tho

10:14 am

Vicuna

MAybe it means you can eat only black and white foods? nothing but dark chocolate and vanilla?

10:14 am

Piano diet? What? You can only eat things that are ebony or ivory?

10:14 am

72 Temple Owl

nrkii i am very sorry to hear your news.

10:14 am

Haz1558

Maybe that's the secret. If you eat a piano and it tastes like wood, it probably puts you off eating more of it.

10:14 am

Atalante

that sounds good!

10:14 am

Haz1558

We may be onto something here.

but then you go on to other things...ata is there a catption to your cartoon?

10:15 am

Vicuna

Burnt white toast is okay, presumably.

10:15 am

Krista

you may be..yummy diet good onlly makes me want more of it

10:15 am

Haz1558

It wouldn't have to be Liberace playing the piano music, though, would it?

10:15 am

Krista

food that is

10:15 am

Judi

Probably shouldn't eat any pianos made in China. Lead in the paint,etc.

10:15 am

Haz1558

Although, he'd probably put you off food as well.

10:15 am

72 Temple Owl

but he was so good to his mother.

10:16 am

Vicuna

Good point, Judi. And to tell the truth, we don't even own a piano, just an electronic keyboard.

10:16 am

Atalante

nope, just the little cookie eatingness

10:16 am

Vicuna

*warning: unplug before eating*

10:16 am

Haz1558

He stole all her clothes, TO, how can that be called being good?

10:16 am

Krista

ata..i've been Anglecised...finally broke down and bought an electric tea kettle..Patrick looked at it, looked at me, and sai d "Bloody Hell!"

10:17 am

72 Temple Owl

oh no that was his brother george

10:17 am

Vicuna

He may have bought her new ones, Haz.

10:17 am

Atalante

WOOOOT!

10:17 am

harpjane

is the di7 the opposite of something, more or less?

10:17 am

Haz1558

I suppose so, but still.

10:17 am

Atalante

soooo much easier

10:17 am

Vicuna

Not anything freestanding, harpjane. It means contempt.

10:17 am

pabtrek

is there a d6

10:18 am

harpjane

no pab

10:18 am

harpjane

thanks vic

10:18 am

Atalante

10:19 am

Vicuna

What are i's for but to see?

10:19 am

72 Temple Owl

10:19 am

Krista

10:19 am

pabtrek

10:19 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, pabtrek.

10:19 am

periwinkle

in the US what is the best store bought tea?

10:19 am

Atalante

oh good! isn't it lovely?

10:19 am

72 Temple Owl

someone got me teavana stuff for christmas but i have yet to open it. seems fussy.

10:19 am

Haz1558

The Prince of Wales is recommending tea?

10:20 am

periwinkle

never heard of prince of wales tea

10:20 am

Krista

I'd take Ata's opinion over his, Haz, lol

10:20 am

Atalante

Stash maybe. And twinings :D

10:20 am

Krista

i like Twinings and Stash, Peri

10:20 am

Vicuna

My husband adores his little teavana brewer thing, TO.

10:20 am

Krista

SNAP

10:20 am

periwinkle

ok, thanks Krista

10:20 am

72 Temple Owl

i used to get tea at barney's but there are no more shops here. teavana has replaced them.

10:20 am

Atalante

Haz - PoW is a Twinings tea that is export only so we can't buy it! It's China tea and just gorgeous

10:20 am

harpjane

just once in my life i'd like to have a score of 1030

10:20 am

Haz1558

What's a teavana brewer? A fancy teapot?

10:20 am

periwinkle

thanks Ata

10:21 am

Krista

yes, never heard of that either

10:21 am

72 Temple Owl

the american warehouse for twinings is/was near me. one could buy anything there.

10:21 am

Haz1558

Export only? So we ship it in from China and then ship it out again?

10:21 am

Atalante

yep! silly isn't it?

10:21 am

periwinkle

so no to Lipton, Tetley and Red Rose?

10:21 am

Krista

strange, isn't it Haz? if you ever want me to send you some, just say the word

10:21 am

72 Temple Owl

peri i don't think it's still there but i can check, it was in ivyland.

10:21 am

Atalante

I grab boxes from Calais any time I go over there

10:21 am

Haz1558

You'd think the Chinese would have cottoned on to the possibilities of selling it themselves.

10:21 am

Krista

the word being, "Send tea"

10:22 am

Atalante

Liptons isn't even tea. It's fake tea :P

10:22 am

periwinkle

ok, Owl

10:22 am

Vicuna

You stick the loose tea in, and pour in the boiling water, and then when it's brewed you put it on top of a mug and all the tea streams out through the mesh on the bottom.

10:22 am

periwinkle

why do you say that, Ata?

10:22 am

72 Temple Owl

amen to that. but i am no better, i use luisianne for ice tea dn tetley for hot tea.

10:22 am

pabtrek

fireworks

10:22 am

Vicuna

It's a gadget, and therefore my husband finds it superior to the non-gadget method. =)

10:22 am

periwinkle

yay for pab!

10:23 am

Vicuna

Yay for pabtrek!

10:23 am

rururocks

I use a combination of earl grey and black currant for Ice tea..

10:23 am

Atalante

because it doesn't even taste like proper tea!

10:23 am

Krista

Oh, I see Vic..we have a little thing similar to that, but I'm too lazy to use it

10:23 am

Haz1558

Thank you for the teavana explanation. I have learned something new.

10:23 am

pabtrek

thanks peri

10:23 am

Haz1558

Congratulations pabtrek!

10:23 am

pabtrek

thanks everyone for the help, time to melt my brain at ironsudoku

10:24 am

Vicuna

*hands pabtrek a bowl for collecting melted brains*

10:24 am

Krista

i saw that Snapple is selling brewed Early Gray in a bottle...never had it iced, but bet it's good, ruru

10:24 am

rururocks

do the british feel ice tea is uncivilized?

10:24 am

periwinkle

I am trying to rid my self of gadgets and tchotches (sp)

10:24 am

72 Temple Owl

i once had a bodapot for tea. i got tired of it.

10:24 am

Krista

yay Pabtrek!

10:24 am

Haz1558

Ata, just out of interest, do you always use a teapot?

10:24 am

72 Temple Owl

earl grey - is that the falvor with bergamot?

10:24 am

Krista

do all English hate iced tea, or just my in-laws?

10:24 am

Haz1558

No, iced tea is delicious when it's hot. Does that sound Irish?

10:24 am

Vicuna

Yes, TO.

10:24 am

Krista

yes, TO, that's it

10:24 am

periwinkle

yes Owl, I love Earl Gray tea

10:25 am

Vicuna

lol, Haz!

10:25 am

Krista

lol Haz, I hear you

10:25 am

Atalante

no, I don't. I should do though.

10:25 am

72 Temple Owl

i do not like bergamot. i associate it with hairdressing.

10:25 am

periwinkle

well I a must not be a tea consoisseur then. Have Lipton in the cupboard :(

10:25 am

Haz1558

So glad you understand me!

10:25 am

rururocks

that's what I thought...kind of like enjoying sushi when it is cooked I would guess

10:25 am

72 Temple Owl

well is there a definitive answer to the brit take on iced tea?

10:26 am

Vicuna

Easier and cheaper not to be a connoiseur, peri, so don't apologize!

10:26 am

Haz1558

I like iced tea, but I'm sure there are those who don't.

10:26 am

72 Temple Owl

lol i love my iced tea w/lemon no sugar. drink it every day and brew it fresh.

10:26 am

Atalante

I like it too, but I only ever drink it when I'm in the US lol

10:26 am

Vicuna

It's hard to imagine an entire nation having a single unified view on any beverage!

10:27 am

Krista

do restaurants serve iced tea there?

10:27 am

periwinkle

must look for more words and the do laundry

10:27 am

bichon

TO, I like unsweetend iced tea too. IN the summer I make sun tea by the gall

10:27 am

Haz1558

I first drank it in Italy and found it really refreshing. I'm not fond of fizzy drinks at all.

10:27 am

periwinkle

my version of the dump cake went over well with the ladies in the rental office here

10:27 am

72 Temple Owl

peri hope to see you soon.

10:27 am

periwinkle

my iced tea must be sweetened

10:27 am

Haz1558

I don't think restaurants would serve much iced tea here.

10:27 am

Krista

bye peri

10:27 am

periwinkle

hope to see you too Owl

10:28 am

Krista

i like some sweetness, but the southern style of "sweet tea" is waaaay too sweet for me

10:28 am

Atalante

much much, and really only premade bottles of the stuff

10:28 am

periwinkle

back soon

10:29 am

Haz1558

Bye peri.

10:29 am

72 Temple Owl

haz did you add anything to it? a local smoothie store here adds the fruit odds and ends rinds to a large container, yo never know what yo get but it's more refreshing than other drinks for sure. i bought McD's sweet tea and gagged.

10:29 am

Krista

interesting...and presweetened iced tea is relatively new in restaurants in the north, here..was only a southern thing before

10:30 am

Haz1558

Just lemon added - they also sell premade tea with peach here or with forest fruits, but I prefer the lemon.

10:30 am

OrangeCat

good evening all!

10:30 am

Vicuna

Hello, OrangeCat.

10:30 am

Haz1558

I've no idea if McDonald's serves iced tea here. I can't remember the last time I was in one.

10:30 am

Krista

yum

10:30 am

Haz1558

Hello Orange.

10:31 am

72 Temple Owl

so is flavored hot tea an abomination? the only one i ever liked was apricot by barney's

10:31 am

Krista

one of the fast food places..i think it's burger king..doesn't serve UNsweetened tea now..what an outrage :)

10:31 am

Haz1558

Oh no, you can get nice fruit teas.

10:31 am

Krista

hi OrangeCat

10:32 am

aslindy

hello everyone

10:32 am

Haz1558

Although people might view the fruit teas as being more of an acquired taste and not what you'd expect to receive if offered 'a cup of tea'

10:32 am

Atalante

and a lot of them smell lovely and taste of nothing

10:32 am

Haz1558

Hello aslindy.

10:33 am

Krista

i like any kind of tea, but flavored coffees put me off for some reason

10:33 am

72 Temple Owl

funny becasue i don't particularly like apricot. here one can get restaurant teas they always seem to taste better. why does tea taste better wheout than at home? lacas is one local brand

10:33 am

Vicuna

Hello, aslindy.

10:33 am

Krista

that's true, Ata

10:33 am

Haz1558

Well now, are you drinking your tea out of a china cup, TO? And you need to make sure that the water is really boiling.

10:33 am

Atalante

Metropolitan is good tea-house tea

10:34 am

Atalante

though some teas should be brewed at about 90C not boiling

10:34 am

Haz1558

(Visions of Brits with thermometers)

10:35 am

Krista

i think it's because someone else is making it..the way sandwiches taste better if someone else makes them :)

10:35 am

72 Temple Owl

drinking from earthernware cup or stoneware mug

10:35 am

Atalante

yes! bring me tea! without any effort on my part!

10:35 am

Haz1558

I'm not much of a tea lover, but I reckon it does taste better out of a china cup. What do you think, Ata?

10:35 am

72 Temple Owl

yes and also ta perfect end to a meal you did not have to cookLOL

10:35 am

aslindy

wow, this is a tough board today

10:35 am

rururocks

I have the answer ata..

10:35 am

Krista

'zactly!

10:36 am

Atalante

yes, I'd agree with that! though it would be nice to have china cups that are safe to put in the dishwasher!

10:36 am

rururocks

you just need a couple of servants

10:36 am

Vicuna

Tastes best out of a big mug. Two sips from a dainty china teacup doesn't even give you enough to taste it!

10:37 am

Krista

I love being served, and don't mind admitting it. I do my share of serving with my picky eating/food allergic family

10:37 am

Haz1558

Ah, but Vicuna, you have your butler hovering with the silver teapot for topping up, surely?

10:37 am

Atalante

delicate flavoured teas = china cup, bog standard gimme tea now = big mug

10:37 am

72 Temple Owl

ok peeps catch you later, thanks for the education. maybe i'll try my teavana this week.

10:37 am

Krista

let us know what u think TO! bye

10:38 am

Haz1558

Bye TO, good to see you and you can let us know the results of the tea brewing.

10:38 am

Vicuna

Well, Bannister could do topping up duty, but then you have to remix the proportions of honey and milk every time, and it's so much easier to get it perfect once...

10:38 am

Atalante

bye TO!

10:38 am

Haz1558

Milk and honey? Together?

10:38 am

72 Temple Owl

i just wish they would stop buying me things, i have too many things. except expensive diamond jewelry.

10:38 am

Haz1558

(Makes note, TO wants rocks)

10:38 am

Vicuna

But of course. With the tea, too, don't forget, Haz.

10:39 am

Krista

MIL thinks honey in tea is strange..

10:39 am

72 Temple Owl

LOL no milk in tea

10:39 am

Vicuna

Honey matches some teas, not others, of course.

10:39 am

Haz1558

That's what I mean. Tea with milk, normal, tea with honey, I've heard of, tea with milk and honey, not very usual.

10:39 am

Vicuna

Same with milk, for that matter.

10:39 am

Judi

*holds out cup* I like lemon with mine, please.

10:39 am

72 Temple Owl

oh not that vain haz i would take a nice new car

10:40 am

Judi

Haz is trying to say we yanks do tea all wrong. She's probably right.

10:40 am

Atalante

tea with milk and honey = tea with milk and sugar but healthier

10:40 am

Haz1558

(Makes note, TO has expensive tastes)

10:40 am

Krista

i never know if she is typical Brit in her tastes, or if she just likes to scoff at my habits :)

10:40 am

72 Temple Owl

or gold

10:40 am

72 Temple Owl

haz: NB not flashy but expensive.

10:41 am

Krista

true, vicuna..i dont like milk in many teas

10:41 am

Haz1558

I've got you, TO. Discreet but expensive.

10:41 am

Vicuna

The Japanese think we all do tea all wrong.

10:41 am

72 Temple Owl

yes. not high maintenance, just hand over the bling.

10:42 am

Haz1558

I don't know if there's such a thing as a typical Brit - so many regional variations.

10:42 am

Atalante

tea is best however you like it. But of course the British way is best

10:42 am

Haz1558

Don't just stop with tea-making with the British is best, of course.

10:42 am

Krista

well, I agree Ata..u have more experience with it

10:42 am

Atalante

*smug*

10:43 am

Krista

yes, i'm sure that's true Haz..not good to generalize ever

10:43 am

Haz1558

I mean to say, we sent tea to the Americans and they threw it in the sea.

10:43 am

Vicuna

True, Haz. How could a nation that produced Jordan do anything wrong?

10:43 am

Judi

AHHHHGGHHH! Smugness!

10:43 am

Atalante

LOL true

10:43 am

72 Temple Owl

*hunts in drawer for can of anti-smug spray*

10:43 am

Haz1558

A low blow.

10:43 am

rururocks

They were steeping it haz

10:43 am

Vicuna

Ahh, but Haz, the bay here by Boston is so refreshing now!

10:43 am

72 Temple Owl

well that it NOT a good way to make it

10:43 am

Atalante

saltwater tea. like saltwater taffy?

10:43 am

Haz1558

Ata and Haz crawl under the desk in memory of Jordan who is conquering America.

10:44 am

Judi

We only threw it in the harbor because we knew commpany was coming. We wanted to make enough for everyone.

10:44 am

Krista

we didnt have any honey so we threw it out

10:44 am

Atalante

no! we celebrate that she's not over here any more!

10:44 am

rururocks

who is jordan?

10:44 am

72 Temple Owl

who is jordan pray tell?

10:44 am

Vicuna

How can she conquer America? We would never have heard of her here if it weren't for you British Babblers!

10:44 am

Haz1558

But she'll come back, Ata. You really think the Americans will want her? Looking like that?

10:45 am

72 Temple Owl

we have jordin sparks but she hasn't yet conquered anything

10:45 am

Atalante

they might do. they like the beckhams

10:45 am

Vicuna

As witness the comments of ruru and TO! lol

10:45 am

rururocks

I don't think she can conquer America.. but we can let her have Texas

10:45 am

Haz1558

Jordan is a ghastly woman who has made a fortune out of her false chest assets.

10:45 am

Judi

*shoe sticking to smugness on floor* Perhaps if I pour tea on it.

10:45 am

72 Temple Owl

well then she'll fit right in

10:45 am

Atalante

and her smarmy husband

10:46 am

rururocks

she should move to LA..they are all big there

10:46 am

Krista

lol Judi..lemon tea works best on sticky smugness

10:46 am

Atalante

she has!

10:46 am

72 Temple Owl

then there is the one from canand.. i swear it's an invasion

10:46 am

rururocks

finally saw a picture of that david beckman guy in the paper

10:46 am

Haz1558

She looks like American Mona Lisa (EvaN's icon the other day) but more objectionable and with a ghastly monotone of a voice.

10:46 am

Krista

david is ok, but Posh needs to have the stick removed from her arse..does she EVER smile?

10:46 am

Judi

Looks like we're going to lose Posh and Becks to the Italians. We'll need a new British pop tart couple to take their places.

10:47 am

Haz1558

She does smile, but the papers seem to prefer the sulky look.

10:47 am

Atalante

oh jordan and peter are perfect. even tackier

10:47 am

rururocks

maybe they will go back to Charles and Camilla

10:47 am

Vicuna

Did anyone see Posh explaining humor on "The Daily Show" a few years ago?

10:47 am

Krista

bet that was good, lol

10:47 am

Atalante

she could explain it?

10:47 am

72 Temple Owl

oh dear. we had belly dancers at fest that i worked with and a fellow worker taught me how to tell fakes from reals. apparently belly dancers are big on augmentation, parson the pun

10:48 am

rururocks

priests are invoived with belly dancers?

10:48 am

Atalante

spill the beans then

10:48 am

Krista

does it have to do with jiggle factor, TO? i would imagine that the fake ones stay to the left when the dancer moves to the right

10:49 am

Vicuna

She was trying to say why Jon Stewart was not funny. Because the British prefer humor that's ironic and subtly sarcastic. Jon Stewart was saying, "Oh right, we never do that kind of humor here," and she didn't get it at all!

10:49 am

72 Temple Owl

lol PARDON that was PARDON

10:49 am

72 Temple Owl

vi: you got it. like rocks.

10:49 am

Haz1558

Poor Posh.

10:49 am

Atalante

lmao. I love JOn Stewart

10:49 am

72 Temple Owl

and the shape

10:50 am

Judi

*snort* Picturing tweety little birds over Posh's head.

10:50 am

Krista

LOL that's great, Vic..will have to see if that's on YouTube

10:50 am

rururocks

I prefer the real thing...

10:50 am

72 Temple Owl

was this recently? sounds too funny!

10:50 am

Atalante

and what's scary is that I'm sure she's cleverer than David

10:51 am

Haz1558

David can play football and look moody. Thinking is a whole other skill.

10:51 am

72 Temple Owl

btw haz how is my fund coming along?

10:51 am

Haz1558

Most of his thinking goes to deciding which tattoo to get next. How many does he have, Ata?

10:51 am

rururocks

is he a good player though?

10:51 am

Krista

their kids are cute, I'll give 'em that

10:51 am

Judi

Apropos enough, I just found the ar4.

10:51 am

Vicuna

It was horribly embarrassing, but hysterical. Jon Stewart was actually sort of nonplussed because he couldn't quite believe that she was really saying this stuff... and Ginger and another spice, I think, were on the show as well, and totally embarrassed.

10:51 am

Haz1558

The fund is a bit slow to get off the ground, TO. We may have to push it a bit. Have you a sob story? That always helps.

10:52 am

Atalante

lmao poor Victoria

10:52 am

Haz1558

ruru - he was an excellent player.

10:52 am

Krista

hubby likes Ginger and her non-false breastage

10:52 am

rururocks

oh..thought so..

10:52 am

rururocks

was?

10:52 am

Vicuna

No, it was Baby Spice who was looking the smartest of the lot. Sorry - can't imagine how I could have got them confused. lol

10:52 am

72 Temple Owl

will retreat for lunch and think up a good one, haz. l

10:53 am

Krista

he got old and they shipped him off to us ;)

10:53 am

rururocks

now if they only had talent..eh?

10:53 am

Haz1558

He's 34 now so nearing the end of his playing life. But he was brilliant in his prime.

10:53 am

72 Temple Owl

any support for spcie girl day on babble> when we can all become the spice of our choice?

10:54 am

Vicuna

Good one, TO. I think we had this discussion before. We were all vying for Old Spice.

10:54 am

Krista

i have to admit...prob shouldn't...but i really like the Spice Girls' music..great pop

10:54 am

72 Temple Owl

ata can be smug spice

10:54 am

Haz1558

TO, I'll look forward to your sob story - remember, it's got to get people's wallets opened.

10:54 am

Krista

Smug Spice..lol!!

10:54 am

Judi

LOL, TO. That much is certain.

10:54 am

72 Temple Owl

maybe i should just post a photo lol

10:55 am

Haz1558

Would I be Sarcastic Spice? Very much anti-type, I know, but I fancy a different image.

10:55 am

Krista

Old Spice....you are all hilarious, ROFL

10:55 am

72 Temple Owl

yes yes. yes. of course.

10:56 am

Atalante

Smug Spice

10:56 am

Haz1558

We need something about a hard life, TO, and a courageous animal rescue or something.

10:57 am

Vicuna

Pour it on thick, TO!

10:57 am

72 Temple Owl

ok i have a vivid imagination. i'm sure i can dream something up.

10:57 am

Vicuna

You can be Pathetic Spice! lol

10:57 am

rururocks

I would be Spice Rack

10:57 am

Vicuna

Wow, do YOU have augmentation, ruru???

That's my girl! And don't forget, you have to weep copiously (hard on paper, I know) and say that you've never wanted anything more in your life.

10:58 am

Krista

10:58 am

Judi

I want to be All Spice.

11:00 am

Haz1558

Poor Krista. Have you a sob story to share with us so that people will donate for a makeover for you? that's what TO's hoping for.

11:00 am

Judi

Any Italians here? You could be Spic Spice. Irish? Mick Spice!

11:00 am

Haz1558

That would be Mick O'Spice.

11:01 am

Judi

Or just McSpice.

11:01 am

Haz1558

Or the Irish Thief, Nick O'Spice.

11:01 am

rururocks

11:01 am

Krista

11:01 am

rururocks

brb more coffee needed..

11:01 am

Haz1558

11:02 am

Krista

Krista

11:07 am

11:07 am

kje

11:08 am

Haz1558

You have to ask what sort of taste people have if they're eating in McDonald's anyway? (Ducking under desk and waiting for lawsuit)

11:08 am

kje

yes, Krista... Jaleo at noon - I will update my profile today

11:09 am

72 Temple Owl

wait need a c have those just clued + the veg on the cob

11:09 am

Krista

the guest list grew since I last looked..cool!

11:10 am

o-o

my taste is my own

11:10 am

Vicuna

Good point, Haz. And I believe you're allowed to insult McDonald's, as long as you don't dare have a Mc in your name, or ever say you're loving something.

11:10 am

Haz1558

co5/12 - take a vowel from the rough

11:10 am

72 Temple Owl

or dress in yellow with a black coat and stipred stockings and large shoes

11:10 am

Haz1558

My grandmother had a Mc in her name. Does that count?

11:10 am

Krista

LOL

11:11 am

Vicuna

I'm sure your own unique taste is excellent, BR... but as I'm not inclined to cannibalism I hope you'll forgive me for declining to partake.

11:11 am

72 Temple Owl

of course you have to rename those meat patties you make at home

11:11 am

kje

brb

11:11 am

Vicuna

I hope you have a lawyer, Haz!

11:11 am

o-o

Ah..well, sure hope you both can make it.

11:16 am

Becca Lorum

Hi everyone, just popping in while baby is happily playing

11:16 am

Vicuna

*waves handkerchief and wanders off into the distance*

11:16 am

Haz1558

Hello Becca! Nice to see you - how's the young one doing?

11:17 am

Krista

they truly are! *poof*

11:17 am

Becca Lorum

He's great thanks Haz, got 2 teeth and sitting up now.

11:18 am

Haz1558

Good for him! It's a nice stage - old enough that you know what they're about, not old enough to be able to move too far.

11:19 am

Becca Lorum

Not moving anywhere at all yet - it's great. I can plonk him down and get things done!

11:19 am

Becca Lorum

Like Babbling for instance!

11:19 am

Atalante

plonking is good

11:20 am

Haz1558

Excellent! What a considerate baby.

11:20 am

Judi

Fireworks!

11:20 am

Becca Lorum

he's ace! very easy to have around

11:20 am

Becca Lorum

YA Judi, congratulations!

11:20 am

Haz1558

Congratulations Judi!

11:21 am

Becca Lorum

*YAY*

11:21 am

Haz1558

That's good, Becca - I'm glad you're enjoying him.

11:21 am

Judi

Ty ty. Off to lunch. Happy Monday. See you all tomorrow.

11:21 am

Becca Lorum

Every minute Haz, I feel very lucky.

11:21 am

Haz1558

See you Judi.

11:22 am

Haz1558

Are you at home with him full time or do you work full/part-time?

11:23 am

Becca Lorum

Im at home full time - I used to work for myself so no job pressuring me to go back, and financially able to stay home.

11:24 am

Becca Lorum

Not planning to go back to work for some time.

11:24 am

Becca Lorum

(or ever!)

11:25 am

Haz1558

It's great that you can manage financially and are happy to be at home. I'm currently in my 26th year of maternity leave and easing down towards retirement. It's great!

11:26 am

Becca Lorum

That's what I'd like to do! We'll take each year as it comes, but we're also considering home schooling, so I wouldn't be able to work if we do that

11:26 am

Becca Lorum

and yes, I know it's very early to be thinking about school

11:27 am

kje

how prevalent is home schooling in the UK?

11:28 am

Haz1558

I don't think home schooling is done as much as it would be in the States - it's a choice that's available, however.

11:28 am

kje

yes, I don't think I have heard of it much from my Brit friends

11:28 am

Haz1558

I don't know anybody who is home schooling.

11:29 am

Haz1558

What would be your reasons, Becca?

11:29 am

kje

here, I probably know a dozen families or so that do

11:29 am

Becca Lorum

Roland Meighan's 1995 estimate of home educators in the United Kingdom was "almost 10,000",[27] and in 1996 the London Evening Standard stated that 15,000 families home-educating in Britain was a 50 percent increase from the previous year.[28] One home-education advocate estimated 50,000 children being home-educated in 2005 (thank you wiki)

11:30 am

Becca Lorum

I think school starts too young in England. I believe children need the opportunity to learn to talk and listen before being made to read and write.

11:31 am

Haz1558

I think people are certainly concerned that boys especially aren't ready for formal education so young.

11:31 am

Becca Lorum

Also I don't think small boys are designed to sit quietly for 6 hours a day - running, jumping and climbing trees is as much a part of education as book learning

11:32 am

Haz1558

Over here, they're starting a revised curriculum whereby it's all mostly play for the first year. Of course, they'll have to wait years to decide if it's worked!

11:33 am

Becca Lorum

I would consider alternaive schools like Steiner of the Green School but there's nothing like that where we live

11:33 am

Becca Lorum

*or the Green School

11:34 am

Becca Lorum

That's what I think it should be Haz! but then

11:34 am

That's what I think it should be Haz! but then

evening everyone

11:34 am

Haz1558

Might you think of letting him attend school once the first years are over? Or maybe these are questions that you haven't got answers to as yet.

11:35 am

Hello Katie!

11:35 am

Becca Lorum

Hi Katie

11:35 am

Atalante

hi kitt1

She has already graced the pages of American Playboy magazine - in 2002 - and is reportedly hoping to audition for a soap opera during the couple's relocation to the States.

The 30-year-old has now signed up for acting lessons in LA and has set her sights on a primetime drama.

A friend said: 'She is desperate to break into acting. She knows she isn't going to land a top movie but fancies a TV soap.'

Good Afternoon/evening all. How is everyone. Andree, I am glad you are OK.

6:03 pm

Aussieme

Hey Red !

6:03 pm

Andree

i know aussie, but the greens who are the most vocal on the subject have a lot to answer for as backburning is the answer to prevention and it hasn't been done for years

6:03 pm

redturtlehead

Hi Aussie.

6:04 pm

Aussieme

well, grrrrrrr to the greens !

6:04 pm

6:04 pm

Andree

6:05 pm

Aussieme

6:09 pm

jessmom

6:10 pm

redturtlehead

dan! i am watching puppies! they have suddenly gotten big.

6:10 pm

dan2bit

firewords! tx all r cluers. I could not have de6ed a better grid for today

6:11 pm

dan2bit

red - I know they are practically walking! no eyes open yet though

6:11 pm

Andree

yay dan

6:11 pm

jillibus

YAY dan2!!! Yes, it was a nice grid -- I finished last night

6:11 pm

Aussieme

YAY Dan2 !!!!!

6:12 pm

Andree

dan what will you do with 8 puppies, ? sell

6:12 pm

jessmom

congrats dan

6:12 pm

redturtlehead

so so cute dan.

6:12 pm

dan2bit

they are out for adoption by our rescue group (DC area of US)

6:13 pm

dan2bit

there is an application fee to cover feeding and vet bills but we don't sell the dogs for profit

6:13 pm

Andree

i hope they find happy homes dan

6:13 pm

redturtlehead

I think they will.

6:15 pm

dan2bit

we're optimistic too. People have asked if we will keep one, but we're committed to the fostering thing - we already have one dog of our own

6:16 pm

redturtlehead

Depending on where you live 2 dogs can be rather a lot. My dog would like a second dog. But I dont...

6:16 pm

dan2bit

Swiffer our pom is kind of used to being an only dog

6:17 pm

Andree

the last time i got a dog as company for mine it was a disaster

6:17 pm

dan2bit

having a second dog for a few weeks or a month at a time is fine. Having 9 dogs until they're weaned is a total overdose of cutrons!

6:17 pm

Andree

now i have no dogs and wish for 1 every day

6:18 pm

redturtlehead

Well, Andree, you are a little far from Dan....

6:18 pm

redturtlehead

Teulu got his bath today and I wished he ws smaller and weaker. :)

6:18 pm

dan2bit

yes I don't think .au customs would be too keen on that

6:18 pm

Andree

my lease does not allow pets, i have nagged the agent but he won't relent

6:20 pm

redturtlehead

Oh Andree that is unfortunate. SInce I already have Teulu, I have to always have pet lease.

6:21 pm

Andree

my neighbour has told me the actual owner of the house who lives in queensland would say yes to a small dog, but how to contact her without putting the agent off side is what i have not worked out yet

6:22 pm

Andree

red, here it is difficult, my son and family are renting while they are building and they had a terrible time finding a place

6:23 pm

redturtlehead

I can believe it, since I've been a travel nurse, I have had to always choose assignments around the dog.

6:23 pm

pythonx

6:24 pm

pythonx

nm., got it

6:24 pm

jessmom

6:26 pm

Andree

6:27 pm

Andree

6:27 pm

Andree

its over 10 days so he should make it

6:28 pm

Andree

he is through training able to do 100k in a day now

7:15 pm

featherbee

7:16 pm

abetterjulie

7:16 pm

Krista

that's hilarious, kje

7:16 pm

Krista

prob about 4-5 days ago

7:16 pm

kje

7:16 pm

Krista

he used to be pretty quick in responding

7:16 pm

abetterjulie

clue for in6? it better not be a plural, lol!

7:17 pm

kje

ask mrp next time you see her

7:17 pm

jillibus

I think Lickety is much busier at work these days

7:17 pm

Aussieme

ROFL ! kje, Goergia calls her lumps and bumps "doofuses" when she bangs herself ! She usually says, "Mummy, I got a doofus" !

7:17 pm

Krista

i relate well to doofuses, being one myself :)..good idea..I'll email her

7:17 pm

featherbee

he checks twitter, i can nudge him there if you like

7:17 pm

abetterjulie

7:18 pm

Aussieme

oh, yes, there is, but I dont have it yet !

7:18 pm

Krista

did you hear the mother of the octuplets saying that "money is just paper..it's superfluous" but pronounced it "super..floous"

7:18 pm

kje

LOL - no krista

7:19 pm

abetterjulie

I was wondering if she had her lips done, what do you think, Krista?

7:19 pm

kje

but... at least she is not our president : )

7:19 pm

jillibus

I was surprised that the past pres used a subjunctive correctly...("Had I known...")

7:19 pm

featherbee

*winces* i say it that way in my head. of course, as a kid, i also had trouble pronouncing "sword" without the W.

7:19 pm

Krista

If you're going to use big words, then proper pronunciation is not superfluous. :) Oh, thank God for that, kje, lol.

7:19 pm

abetterjulie

got it...it was a common word..but hard for me to see for some reason

7:19 pm

Aussieme

I think she got it from me kje, I banged my elbow so hard it made me cry one day, and she asked my why I was crying, I said I got a doofus on my arm

7:19 pm

zoozzoom

abetterjulie in6 when you are outside when you open the door you go ......

7:20 pm

Krista

7:20 pm

abetterjulie

ty,zooz i just saw it

7:20 pm

pam

hi, all

7:20 pm

kje

I mispronounced a lot of words, weed... I read so far above my head and would sound out the words phoentically... and often, that doesn't work so well... take colonel for example

7:20 pm

abetterjulie

me too, kje. I used to feel so silly.

7:20 pm

kje

cute aussie! that is such a fun age

7:20 pm

zoozzoom

sorry abetterjulie..i am not very good at giving clues..haha

7:20 pm

Aussieme

colonel, pronounced kernal ! wierd !

7:21 pm

abetterjulie

that was a good clue, zooz!

7:21 pm

kje

yep aussie - english is a nightmare

7:21 pm

Aussieme

or weird even !

7:21 pm

featherbee

yes, i know a lot of words that i read, but don't dare say out loud! one drawback from reading so much i guess
