2:33 am

2:34 am

westford

2:35 am

sandyloo

aaah in Aus we call that a 'sleep out"

2:35 am

westford

I know what you mean jilli but I hope they never give up

2:35 am

jillibus

2:36 am

sandyloo

or in more modern terms a sunroom

2:36 am

westford

stoopid prof !!

2:36 am

westford

2:42 am

sandyloo

hi herin

2:44 am

herinfernallady

Good. Just watching trash tv and its about Rhianna and Chris Brown. All I can say is shes an IDIOT. The injuries she got were horrid. She has so much going for her

2:44 am

westford

hope the raspberry tea helped herin

2:44 am

herinfernallady

It did West. I rocked my lucky rainbow socks off in my exam

2:44 am

westford

makes you wonder doesn't it?

2:44 am

westford

hey great!!

2:45 am

westford

you're the tort queen now!!

2:45 am

sandyloo

certainly she is herin! Ive just been watching a dreadful news item about china and the animals they sell for food

2:46 am

herinfernallady

It makes me shudder. He hit her face. That to me shows someone that is very likely to really snap and hurt someone serverly

2:46 am

westford

it's a different world there sandy

2:46 am

herinfernallady

West Im still waiting on the results

2:46 am

sandyloo

I definitely dont understand violence at all, herin

2:47 am

westford

if you feel that good about it you aced it

2:47 am

sandyloo

It is a different world west, I have been to a lot of places in asia but this item was horrific -showing the conditions they keep these poor animals in-you will probably see the item sometime -it was awful

2:48 am

westford

animal lover here so I know I will be horrified

2:48 am

herinfernallady

Damn straight West. Sandy I can't watch those sorts of stories regarding animals it makes me too sad

2:49 am

sandyloo

I could only glance, it was the worst thing i have seen.

2:50 am

o-o

abuse of women is beyond epidemic and I am rather shocked that there seems to be more concern for animals

2:50 am

westford

don't be shocked they're both horrible

2:50 am

sandyloo

don't understand cruelty at all to humans or animals-both are bad

2:50 am

o-o

a lot less press for abuse of women

2:51 am

herinfernallady

Babble Animals and children are innocent. As an Adult you can do something to change. I did

2:51 am

sandyloo

I feel so lucky that (except for the rooster) i live a violence free life

2:51 am

westford

still getting at you sandy?

2:51 am

o-o

not the women in Darfar

2:52 am

westford

I hope they hang him from the highest rafter

2:52 am

sandyloo

that is the truth Herin, its all about choices for women

2:52 am

herinfernallady

*and men*

2:52 am

o-o

a lot of women cannot escape

2:53 am

sandyloo

actually West, I have been practicing "calm assertive energy' on him and trying not to feel afraid and he has improved-obviously its not him but me!

2:53 am

herinfernallady

Babble in places like Darfar there is no escape for a lot of people. I am talking about countries which can

2:53 am

westford

that's why we need to help

2:53 am

westford

he doesn't want you taking his progeny i.e. eggs

2:54 am

o-o

even in the US, spousal abuse syndrome makes talk of choices more academic than real

2:54 am

o-o

I used to represent women

2:54 am

westford

in most cases don't women live what they know?

2:54 am

o-o

I had to stop

2:55 am

westford

such a vicious circle that's hard to break free

2:55 am

herinfernallady

Bab you used to law?

2:55 am

o-o

restraining orders do not stop bullets

2:56 am

westford

no, in most cases they just add to the abuse

2:56 am

ursh

I think an abused woman's courage is so buried in beatings that she would find it almost impossible to find enough to leave and go to a shelter

2:56 am

o-o

one on the women I represented was killed in cornfield by her spouse

2:56 am

herinfernallady

I didn't leave. He left me

2:57 am

o-o

she hid in the field for hours and he shot her with a shotgun

2:57 am

westford

you must have felt so helpless bab

2:58 am

westford

is he in jail?

2:58 am

o-o

yes

2:58 am

westford

hopefully with no possibility of parole

2:58 am

herinfernallady

Babrab did you used to work in Law?

2:58 am

sandyloo

there are countries in the world that dont put men in jail for those sort of actions

2:58 am

o-o

she told me her minister said she had to stay God would help her

2:59 am

westford

grrrr

2:59 am

sandyloo

I find those stories terrible and they do make me so angry

2:59 am

westford

I know sandy doesn't make it right though

3:00 am

sandyloo

it sure doesnt west- i am outraged by that

3:00 am

herinfernallady

I think i lost count of the amount of times he used the words 'sorry I wont do it again '

3:01 am

westford

and still you didn't leave herin?

3:01 am

sandyloo

herin why did you put up with it! obviously you have come a long way since then

3:02 am

o-o

3:03 am

westford

Michnick

Purim is the story of King Achashverosh who was King of Persia. He had a Jewish wife & an evil advisor who wanted to kill all the Jews. Through a lot of twists and turns he was defeated. You can probably Google Purim story and get more details. THe story is recorded in "The Book of Esther" which is part of the Bible.

5:34 am

rbud

Only 1 left for me, a wa4. Driving me nuts!

5:34 am

Haz1558

Latin nouns are masculine, feminine or neuter. vi(meaning life) is always feminine. Depending on which case it is (nominative, vocative, accusative,genitive, dative, ablative) the endings will vary but vi meaning life is always feminine.

5:34 am

herinfernallady

no

5:34 am

rbud

5 fa's; 4 fi; 1 fr

5:34 am

5:35 am

Haz1558

Yes, meaning of life (genitive means of, dative means to or for, ablative means by with or from). It's complicated and I'm dragging this up from a loooong time ago.

5:36 am

herinfernallady

It may well be complicated but its interesting to me. I like learning words I'm a book nerd. I just can't spell

10:15 am

Uniquity

Whoa. I don't walk to the bathroom without my glasses, let alone operate a vehicle...that is a serious impairment in most cases.

10:16 am

Uniquity

When one is smug, one cannot deny. One can only smug.

10:16 am

stidmama

man-o-man, mrp! I can't imagine going that long without glasses. Well, I can because mine are really only for convenience. But still!

10:16 am

Atalante

it's not denial. that's a river

10:16 am

stidmama

my tom can't get from the door to the kitchen without his glasses...

10:18 am

10:19 am

mrpresident

I would drive you nuts!

10:19 am

stidmama

my glasses are for a minor astigmatism. and "old eyes" which only means they don't adjust quickly any more. I am still functional at all distances. fortunately.

10:19 am

rururocks

That isn't a long drive mr p..for me..lol

10:19 am

stidmama

Just don't put basil in the ratatouille.

basil is overused. imho. it's so pungent

11:09 am

we all look old now:/

Don't tell him you said that, TO, I think he still thinks he's a bit of a catch.

Hello fuquay

Atalante

she's something like that

11:10 am

72 Temple Owl

well a big wallet is a powerful aphrodisiac they say

11:10 am

This parrot wouldn't "voom" if you put 30,000 volts through it.

tony robinson's latest is *definitely* 20. or 19. or 21. ish

it is a proven fact that us men live longer when we are married.......we are just more willing to die is all:)

well not bad for a celeb of his advanced age i guess

11:14 am

fuquayvarina

OK, 3 of them rhyme with no room at the i**, and two of those are plurals, crossy

11:15 am

Haz1558

He's still got a way to go before we can put him alongside Mickey Rooney.

11:15 am

ty fuq..that gave me 3

11:15 am

Atalante

how many has he had?

11:15 am

72 Temple Owl

not to mention liz and zsa zsa. who gets to claim zsa zsa, us or hungary?

11:15 am

Haz1558

Come to think of it, it would be quite a sight to see the two of them together.

hi and bye, vi! :)

11:17 am

wow!

Are wives on sale today?

11:17 am

Haz1558

MIckey Rooney

11:17 am

rururocks

he's still alive?

11:18 am

Haz1558

Yes he is.

11:18 am

Vicuna

Cheaper by the dozen!

11:19 am

rururocks

Is he like 101 or something?

11:19 am

Haz1558

And how are things in the Vicuna household?

11:20 am

o-o

Always get married early in the morning. That way, if it doesn't work out, you haven't wasted a whole day.

Haz1558

Born 1920 so not quite.

11:21 am

rururocks

how could you marry 8 people..

11:21 am

Vicuna

The Vicuna household is spiffy as ever, thanks. And Chez Haz?

11:21 am

rururocks

unless you are Elizabeth Taylor

11:22 am

Haz1558

Glad to hear of the spiffiness prevailing, VI. The Haz household is bravely battling through winter colds with the aid of Kleenex balsam tissues. I can recommend them.

11:22 am

Vicuna

I feel so backward with only the one spouse.

11:22 am

rururocks

me too..

11:22 am

rururocks

I should join a cult in texas or something

11:22 am

Vicuna

Ah yes. The famous Kleenex Balsam, tissues of the gods, I understand.

11:23 am

Atalante

they are. best things ever

11:23 am

Haz1558

I don't so much feel backward as very happy with the spouse I've got. He works long hours to keep me in KLeenex Balsam tissues.

11:23 am

Vicuna

lol

11:24 am

Vicuna

Can I recommend getting into showbiz as a more pleasant polygamous option, ruru? At least, if you don't mind working through them serially instead of concurrently.

11:25 am

Haz1558

Have you any showbiz talent, ruru?

11:25 am

rururocks

damn... none that I am aware of...

11:25 am

Vicuna

Or perhaps just hang out at the airport in Vegas, with a sign saying, "Will marry for food."

11:25 am

rururocks

I can't take the puffed up lips and stuff though

11:26 am

Haz1558

No unicycle riding? No sword swallowing? No cat juggling?

11:26 am

Vicuna

It's the puffed up "and stuff" that you'll find too much of in Vegas and show biz. Oh well.

11:26 am

Atalante

you could just be mormon

11:26 am

rururocks

Maybe I can dress like Elvis in Vegas and get lots of chicks

11:26 am

72 Temple Owl

for yourself or your prospective brides?

11:26 am

rururocks

I hate the Osmond Brothers... Mormon is out

11:26 am

Vicuna

TO just couldn't stay away!

11:26 am

Haz1558

How can you hate the Osmonds? Such great teeth.

11:27 am

72 Temple Owl

lol vi i put on my sneaks that's as far as i got

11:27 am

rururocks

they make my skin crawl...

11:27 am

Vicuna

Crawling skin would be really handy for squeezing along in very tight tunnels.

11:28 am

72 Temple Owl

did you see marie's nutrisystem ad? her eyes slant upwards now. do you think she's been "done"?

11:28 am

rururocks

It is also good for the dermatologist too

11:28 am

rururocks

moving target and all

11:28 am

72 Temple Owl

did not recognize her till she flashed those pearlies

11:28 am

Haz1558

I haven't seen any photos of her recently. What's wrong with growing old gracefully?

11:28 am

Vicuna

Like escaping from the cult compound through the air ducts or something, once you'd decided you'd had enough of polygamy.

11:29 am

72 Temple Owl

welli would be happy to do so if i could manage to do it gracefully. that seems to be difficult.

11:29 am

rururocks

really.. I mean Joan River's navel is now up at her neck line

11:29 am

Haz1558

I suppose it would be a good incentive to diet - escaping through air ducts can't be pleasant for the over-upholstered

11:30 am

72 Temple Owl

it's all so very ungraceful

11:30 am

rururocks

I have decided against plastic surgery myself

11:30 am

Haz1558

It's just that when the showbiz people get 'done' they look worse rather than better.

11:30 am

72 Temple Owl

lol ru even chinese women have less slant to their eyes

11:31 am

Atalante

Jocelyn Wildenstein!

11:31 am

Michnick

Hello all just checking in for a few minutes. Strange chat going on here now!

11:31 am

72 Temple Owl

and the lip thing is the worst.

11:32 am

Haz1558

Plastic surgery is wonderful when it's used to help people with real problems and disfigurements, it seems perverse that it now feeds an unrealistic idea of what is beautiful.

11:32 am

rururocks

I agree..

11:32 am

Vicuna

Also a good incentive to put filters over your air ducts, to keep out unwanted spouses.

11:32 am

rururocks

they look like car tires..what is so attractive about that

11:32 am

rururocks

unless they are trying to catch a nice mechanic

11:33 am

72 Temple Owl

lol ru is on a roll

11:33 am

72 Temple Owl

so to speak ;)

11:34 am

Vicuna

He rolls better if he keeps his spare tire somewhere other than his lips.

11:35 am

Haz1558

I suppose Mick Jagger is pretty pleased with himself. No need for fillers for him.

11:35 am

Vicuna

Hello, Michnick, by the way!

11:35 am

Atalante

that man is SO thin

11:35 am

Vicuna

Did I tell you folks yet about the time I danced with Mick Jagger?

11:36 am

Atalante

NO!!

11:36 am

Haz1558

No! But you're going to, aren't you?

11:36 am

Atalante

is this better than Haz's encounters with Barack Obama?

11:36 am

Haz1558

Was it on Dancing with the Stars?

11:36 am

alison45

help with ra5,12?

11:36 am

Haz1558

ra5/12 - ends in a double helping of a vowel

11:37 am

Vicuna

Heh. Everybody has such great celebrity encounter stories, and I don't. He danced. I danced. We were in the same room. Ergo, we danced together.

11:37 am

Atalante

good enough for me!

11:37 am

Haz1558

If I were the sort to say Wow, I'd say Wow.

11:37 am

Vicuna

His daughter was in my class at college, so he was at our graduation.

11:37 am

alison45

thanks again haz!

11:38 am

Atalante

*that's* cool!

11:38 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, alison.

Hello nrkii!

11:38 am

Vicuna

Hello, nrkii!

11:38 am

Atalante

I danced with Richard Hatch but no-one apart from sci-fi geeks know who he is

11:38 am

nrkii

I just got a call about a job!!!... in Texas... ugh

11:38 am

72 Temple Owl

hi nrk!

11:38 am

welsh bookworm

hi there, can anyone help me with the at7/48 please?

11:39 am

Haz1558

Does the ugh of Texas outweight the !!! of hearing about a job?

11:39 am

Vicuna

If my tame sci-fi geek were here I'd ask him, but he's at work.

11:39 am

nrkii

yes, the Ugh wins in this case

11:39 am

redturtlehead

Helloall, kje lives in TX Nkrii.

11:39 am

fuquayvarina

hurray, nrkii! good for morale even if you don't take it!

11:39 am

Haz1558

at7 - is a plus the th6 which means to wreck or stand in the way of plans

11:39 am

72 Temple Owl

oh nrik, good luck.

11:40 am

72 Temple Owl

hi, red. ok have fun kids. see you later

11:40 am

nrkii

thanks Haz, I had just gotten the th6 and didn't notice the a7

11:40 am

Vicuna

Yeah, sure you're leaving TO. Sure.

11:40 am

nrkii

fuq, yes, very good to know there are jobs out there and companies who will still see my resume and go "OOOH!"

11:40 am

Haz1558

So, a major relocation isn't what you're looking for, nrkii? You're welcome re the at7.

11:40 am

Haz1558

Bye TO!

11:40 am

nrkii

bye TO, and thanks

11:40 am

Vicuna

Thanks, Haz. I didn't have either.

11:41 am

nrkii

my house wouldn't sell even if I were willing, which I'm not

11:41 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, Vi.

11:41 am

nrkii

I would probably have to walk away from the house... which I will only do after another several months of fruitless searching

11:42 am

Haz1558

It's probably better to keep looking for somewhere nearer home, in that case.

11:42 am

Vicuna

If the searching ever did bear fr5/18, you'd have to go to the penalty box!

11:42 am

o-o

good luck, nrkii

11:42 am

nrkii

ah shoot, off I go vicuna...

11:43 am

Haz1558

I think it's a pb on a technicality.

11:43 am

nrkii

but this guy is going to consider me for consulting work, and if they don't find someone in Texas, he might consider having someone do it from a distance

11:43 am

Vicuna

I'm not so strict. It was a different word.

11:43 am

nrkii

someone might be me

11:43 am

Vicuna

That would be nice!

11:43 am

fuquayvarina

now there's a good idea -- telecommuting!

11:43 am

Haz1558

As in from af4/7?

11:44 am

welsh bookworm

thanks v much Haz - fireworks for me!! :)

11:44 am

nrkii

he's not keen on having someone at the level they're trying to fill do it with "bunny slippers on" as he said

11:44 am

Vicuna

lol, Yay for welsh bookworm!

11:44 am

Haz1558

Congratulations welsh!

11:44 am

nrkii

but he knows it might be hard to find someone in TX

11:44 am

nrkii

yay bookworm!!!

11:44 am

Vicuna

Promise him that your slippers are very dignified.

11:44 am

o-o

congrats, welsh

11:45 am

lawdoggy1

I telecommute and I almost never wear my bunny slipers!

11:45 am

fuquayvarina

hurray for bookworm!

11:45 am

nrkii

I'd even let him install a video camera so I could prove it...

11:45 am

Haz1558

Were any bunnies harmed in the making of those slippers?

11:45 am

nrkii

I can't work from home unless I'm showered and dressed...

11:45 am

lawdoggy1

Never!

11:45 am

nrkii

I can't even function for the day unless I'm showered and dressed

11:46 am

nrkii

no real bunnies were harmed... :)

11:46 am

lawdoggy1

Doing conference calls from bed is a bit spooky

11:46 am

Haz1558

That's a relief. Scrabbler wouldn't sleep easy if she heard about bunny slippers.

11:46 am

Vicuna

And you're going to let him video this? Now you're getting kinky!

11:46 am

nrkii

LOL

11:47 am

6:08 pm

sandyloo

phand the thing with a whippet is that they are "sight hounds" which means that they hunt by sight-for instance if they see a rabbit they will chase it and you dont have much chance to get them to come back- so you have to be careful when you let them off the lead I know people who have them and they love them -they have a very gentle nature but the hound thing can be a problem,

11:13 pm

Pinikula

hi hi

11:13 pm

11:13 pm

jillibus

I've never watched wrestling but Andre was in the news in Montreal for a bit

11:13 pm

rbud

But the Macho Man resembled my husband, at the time. Still have the husband. ;)

11:14 pm

rbud

Hi, jilli! I like Andre the Giant, too, he was so sweet.

11:14 pm

jmcnrick

and he is on all of the obama posters

11:14 pm

jillibus

11:15 pm

jmcnrick

pini at my house we have a rule about being trapped by a kitty

11:15 pm

Pinikula

11:15 pm

rbud

Have you seen him in the "Princess Bride" movie? Pretty good.

11:15 pm

Birdeee

Hi all - back in the saddle with 28 left

11:15 pm

rbud

Hi Birdeee, what do you need?

11:15 pm

jmcnrick

look at the iconic obama posters in the corner and you will see andre the giants' nose eyes and mouth

11:16 pm

jillibus

I just had some very sad news -- a young (to me) and vibrant friend from the Dane world just died of metastatic lung cancer

11:16 pm

jmcnrick

the guy who did the posters began as a grafitti artist and created a web page called: andre the giant has a possee

11:16 pm

jmcnrick

and made the posters that say: OBEY

11:16 pm

jmcnrick

hi birdeee

11:17 pm

jmcnrick

Pinikula

Oh, gosh, I'm sorry to hear that, jilli...was that the one you spoke of so nicely before...

11:18 pm

jillibus

it's a real downer, so I'll retreat from here for a bit

11:18 pm

Pinikula

jmcnrick

I remember I had a client who was 95 who said to me "I konw how you feel"

11:25 pm

jmcnrick

then she called back the next day and said" I was rude I don't know how you feel my husband was in his 80s when he died"

11:25 pm

jillibus

how could s/he?

11:26 pm

jmcnrick

My theory is that it is all unique and all exactly the same

11:26 pm

jillibus

so true, jmc

11:26 pm

jmcnrick

grief is grief

11:26 pm

jillibus

11:41 pm

stidmama

11:41 pm

stidmama

Douglas was quite the orator (my son is in debate, we hear about these things).

11:42 pm

stidmama

I love cyber choclit too -- I can "taste" it without having to hide it from the dog.

11:42 pm

jmcnrick

Douglas's second wife was a white activist who was my mother in law's great aunt

11:42 pm

stidmama

11:43 pm

jmcnrick

11:43 pm

stidmama

11:43 pm

jillibus

11:43 pm

jmcnrick

11:43 pm

stidmama

he didn't eat enough to do that, jmc. But he was absolutely on hyper-drive for a few hours that time

11:44 pm

stidmama

but none of my relatives were ever royalty. *bowing low to princess Jill*

11:44 pm

stidmama

or is that "Princess Ji" *wicked mama look*

11:44 pm

jmcnrick

really stid? our family legend is that we are kin to dolly madison (a Quaker before her marriage to James) but I can't prove it

11:45 pm

jillibus

The"Kings" Ross weren't really very royal, lol!

11:45 pm

stidmama

that would be nifty, jmc. we have quaker kin, but none of them very hoity-toity (sp?)

11:46 pm

jmcnrick

I like that spelling of hoity-toity

11:46 pm

jillibus

the sp looks fine, stid

11:47 pm

jmcnrick

so that would make us kissing cousins stid! :-*

11:50 pm

stidmama

11:51 pm

jmcnrick

I am afraid to ask for more help

11:51 pm

stidmama

no no, it's okay! really!

11:51 pm

jmcnrick

the fish smell is getting pretty bad in here and my cat is starting to give me the eye

11:51 pm

stidmama

stidmama

harpjane

no, wait, i just read jilli's profile!

11:52 pm

jmcnrick

already have that one--told you I only need help on fish tonight lol

11:52 pm

stidmama

the silly thing that I do is that I consider the QU to be one letter because it is on one tile... so I almost always have to ask for help on those.

11:53 pm

stidmama

s'okay, harpjane! jill has WAY better stories than I do!

11:53 pm

jmcnrick

I know it seems odd to me since there are q words without the u
