2:27 am

rbud

lots of Halo nuts around here, too, weekly tournaments in a local gaming "parlor"

2:28 am

PAV3

I am down to the last 60, so I thought I'd see what's left..not quite tired yet...

2:28 am

jillibus

oh, so halo is a game!

2:28 am

mrpresident

Luke and Mark are halo nuts!

2:29 am

mrpresident

I only just gave permission for my little boy to play, as he is now 10

2:30 am

mrpresident

and, they also are allowed to watch SouthPark, under full parental supervision.... but Simpsons is still off the cards

2:30 am

rbud

We have a teenage son, know all about the Halo craze. And Guitar Hero! **rolls eyes**

2:31 am

jillibus

I haven't seen South Park but I thought it was full of bad words

2:31 am

rbud

I think it's far worse than the Simpsons, personally.

2:31 am

mrpresident

Simpsons is wrong! It teaches the kids to hate their parents, think they are stupid and give them the right to be evil.
South Park is naughty kids being naughty... and lots of obscure and inappropriate hate crimes.

2:32 am

mrpresident

Simpsons is far the worse of them all.

2:32 am

rbud

You may have a point there. My kid doesn't watch either, though, too busy with his band and skateboard.

2:32 am

jillibus

I'm glad I'm past that!

2:33 am

Atalante

how does the simpsons teach kids to hate their parents?

2:34 am

mrpresident

ummmm, watch an episode

2:34 am

jillibus

hi ata!

2:35 am

rbud

I don't really think the Simpsons are meant for kids, anyway. Too many things go right over their heads.

2:36 am

Atalante

I've watched whole series

2:37 am

mrpresident

Well, maybe when you watch it again, you will see what I mean.

2:37 am

o-o

It is good you know what your children are watching, mrp

2:38 am

Atalante

I doubt it. None of the friends I've just asked nor me have ever seen anything like this in the simpsons. Maybe we're just unsensitive

2:39 am

mrpresident

insensitive ...

2:39 am

rbud

the only thing that really bugged me about the Simpsons were those awful Itchy & Scratchy "cartoons" - never understood why they kept up with those.

2:40 am

Atalante

no. unsensitive in this case.

2:41 am

mrpresident

I believe it is insensitive, but that is my opinion

2:44 am

Atalante

insensitive is the correct spelling, but in this case I really un-sensitive, which I think is slightly different

mrpresident

Atalante

3:13 am

mrpresident

My doggies fur is so soft, the sweater should cost at least $4000 !!

3:13 am

mrpresident

and the cat... don't even let me go there!
She has puked up a furball that could have been another cat!!

3:13 am

Atalante

3:14 am

Atalante

cats are soooo foul lol

3:16 am

rolin

morning all..

3:16 am

mrpresident

cats are vomitous!!

3:16 am

rolin

ta we used to have a lab who used to loll about on the raised decking..she shed her hair so much that we never had to weed under the decking..her hair created a weed mat..lol

3:16 am

mrpresident

vomitous... that cannot be english! LOL

3:17 am

Atalante

nice sustainable gardening there, rolin!

3:17 am

mrpresident

I believe it is vomitus!!

3:17 am

mrpresident

I gave too much vowel accreditation to the word!

3:17 am

rolin

i was ahead of my time..lol

3:18 am

mrpresident

that is awesome rolin!! I should make a weed mat from Vixie's fur!!

3:18 am

rolin

i live to serve...

3:18 am

rolin

but if you subtract...dont you 'unadd'?

3:19 am

mrpresident

Ata! OMG! are you for real??
how do you manage knitting with dog hair?? do you have to get a special wheel to spin it?

3:20 am

Atalante

no, you just have to use the right types of dog hair I think

3:20 am

mrpresident

I have got bagfulls of Vixies caramel coloured hair... it would make an incredible sweater

3:20 am

mrpresident

she is a longhair madam... i should imagine i could use her hair

3:21 am

Atalante

have a look online, there are definitely dog hair knitting people out there!

3:21 am

lynxxx

Hello. My mum used to have a keeshond, she spun and knitted a sweater from him

3:21 am

Atalante

3:22 am

mrpresident

I actually have a wool spinner... so might be able to spin dog hair, if I had good instruction

3:22 am

mrpresident

Atalante

that dracula fish is a really big thing in the world of evolutionary development at the moment

9:43 am

dcseain

that makes sense to me, ata

9:44 am

Atalante

everyone always thought that tooth plates rather than real teeth were a primitive feature (and they still are). But this fishy just shows we can never be entirely certain whether something is primitive or actually really advanced

9:44 am

72 Temple Owl

A dog trimmer in the hands of an amateur. I rest my case.

10:24 am

Atalante

he trims hobbit better than his own hair LOL

10:25 am

Haz1558

I have complete faith in the ability of the professionals to do a job properly. This was reinforced when I once allowed my husband to plaster a wall.

10:25 am

Atalante

this is really wierd, i just washed dishes, and cleaned my sink with a lot of bleach. now my cat won't leave my hands alone. she's rubbing her face all over them

1:43 pm

MaMaWA

ty sally

1:44 pm

DR1965

thanks Sally

1:44 pm

J. C.

Some cats love the smell of bleach - no idea why?!

1:44 pm

westford

harp my daughter's cat is the same way when she uses clorox

1:44 pm

DR1965

Yes Harp- that is odd

1:44 pm

westford

the male but not the female

1:44 pm

harpjane

i didn't know that, she just licked my hand and did NOT like that

1:45 pm

J. C.

I have a friend with a cat who rolls around on the floor, after she's mopped it with diluted bleach and it's dried.

1:45 pm

harpjane

her "kitten" is today's icon

1:45 pm

J. C.

Of course bleach is derived from salt, and when it dries it leaves behind a film of salt on the floor.

1:45 pm

harpjane

she has an overactive thyroid, maybe there's something in the bleach that she craves

1:45 pm

J. C.

He will lick the floor, as he's rolling on it . . .

1:46 pm

J. C.

It would proably be salt, harpjane . . .

1:46 pm

J. C.

Can't think of anything else in it they would crave?

1:47 pm

harpjane

there's salt in bleach?

1:47 pm

harpjane

well, there's chloride in salt, right?

1:48 pm

J. C.

Bleach is derived FROM salt . . . some salt compounds are called 'chlorides,' I believe - I'm not a chemist or chemistry major, sorry! :P

1:49 pm

J. C.

You could probably find out how bleach is made on Wikipedia - what can't you find out on there?

1:49 pm

MaMaWA

Are both of the u's at the top un's? pls and ty

1:49 pm

westford

yes and yw

1:49 pm

westford

do you want the stats?

1:50 pm

MaMaWA

I have one un8 yes west and ty again

1:50 pm

dcseain

na2cl - sodium chloride is table salt

1:50 pm

dcseain

sunlight is a bleaching agent, too

1:51 pm

westford

un6/30

1:51 pm

J. C.

Yes, thank you dcseain . . .

1:51 pm

harpjane

ah wikipedia, and it's all true, right?

1:51 pm

J. C.

So is oxygen . . .

1:51 pm

harpjane

8 to go

1:51 pm

J. C.

Most of what's on Wikepedia is fairly accurate.

1:51 pm

MaMaWA

go harp go

1:51 pm

J. C.

As much as any other information source online.

1:52 pm

westford

a friend lived in Morocco and cleaned her brass trays with salt and sunlight as her neighbors did

1:52 pm

J. C.

Some definitely isn't - but you'll find that everywhere.

1:52 pm

harpjane

actually it's more reliable than many

1:52 pm

J. C.

Yes, harpjane - although I have found some of it isn't. It's pretty good though, over all . . .

1:52 pm

dcseain

yes, though oxgygen is a better bleach in the form of hydrogen perexide

1:53 pm

dcseain

i agre with harp, wikipedia is more reliable than many, and most entries have external sources, too, which is nice

1:53 pm

J. C.

Yes, dcseain - we also use a powdered version in the wash that's popular now.

1:53 pm

dcseain

er, peroxide

1:53 pm

J. C.

Yes, dcseain . . .

1:53 pm

dcseain

we do that too, jc

1:54 pm

westford

so many uses for peroxide

1:54 pm

dcseain

indeed so, west

1:54 pm

J. C.

I read typo very well - and knew what you meant, dcseain! ;) Good thing, because I often type in it! :P

1:54 pm

dcseain

:) jc

1:55 pm

lilliann

hi all. this is going to sound like a strange question, but is it true that you only have white toilet roll in the U.S?

1:55 pm

westford

hi lili except for the holidays

1:55 pm

dcseain

today, yes lilliann, one never sees brown anymore.

1:56 pm

jimmel

hmmm....is my memory failing me, or did we used to have pastels, like pink and blue?

1:56 pm

hlj25950

hi all helg with the u's please?

1:56 pm

dcseain

in the outsouse, we used the black and white Sears catalogues or newspaper.

1:56 pm

J. C.

Ewww, dcseain! :P Sure they do - after it's used!

1:56 pm

westford

tissues yes tp no

1:56 pm

dcseain

i remember pastels, jimmel, not seen those since the 80s i think.

1:56 pm

jimmel

or at least little colored patterns?

1:57 pm

jimmel

thx....maybe i wasn't dreaming!

1:57 pm

dcseain

we used to have brown, unbleached , toilet rolls here, the were a rougher paper.

1:57 pm

lilliann

its just that i read one of my craft magazines and in it is an article of an american woman who does origame out of loo roll

1:57 pm

J. C.

Oh yes, I see . . .

1:57 pm

J. C.

HAHAHA . . .

1:57 pm

westford

the u's at the top are both un's and the u's on the side are ug and us

1:57 pm

2:01 pm

lilliann

hi scrabs

2:01 pm

dcseain

jimmel, some brands are oxygen-bleached rather than chlorine-bleached wood pulp. And i think we've gone ith white in part due to the high recycled content in paper products today. Else you get pressed paperboard grey like the back of cereal boxes

2:02 pm

hlj25950

ty, I will think about those a bit...i know nothing about fashion, but I'll see what I can come up with

2:02 pm

jimmel

Uh...Special K box is a little rough for my tender parts, dc!

2:02 pm

Scrabbler

How is life across the pond, lilliann?

2:02 pm

Scrabbler

Hi DR

2:05 pm

dcseain

he's doing well, but he's caged here due to lease requirements, so i worry that he gets bored.

2:05 pm

J. C.

Yes, all the pets I've had since moving out of my parents' home have been rescues . . . not that I've had many, as I've been busy and lived mainly in flats, until three years ago.

2:05 pm

lilliann

my daughter is great thanks scrabs

2:07 pm

dcseain

lilliann

2:42 pm

westford

2:42 pm

sandyloo

its been a long road that's for sure and now it looks like it will be a fusion-she is 34

2:42 pm

dcseain

sorry to hear, sandy

2:43 pm

westford

what happened initially sandy?

2:43 pm

lilliann

my mam had to have an operation years ago as her shoulder kept dislocating. she has alot more mobility in it now

2:43 pm

sandyloo

8 years its been going on- all because they gave her Tramadol as a pain killer- it caused her to have convulsions which dislocated her shoulders- one is fixed after 3 ops the other has had3 ops but not fixed

2:43 pm

J. C.

Looks like a lovely place you have, Sandy - we're on a little farm, also.

2:44 pm

lilliann

that's alot of ops

2:44 pm

westford

oh sandy how awful

2:44 pm

J. C.

Well, farm property - we don't use it as a farm, other than growing our own veggies and herbs. We keep a few chickens - but there spoilt, pampered pets and each has their own name! ;)

2:44 pm

westford

sounds heaven JC

2:44 pm

J. C.

Oh no, Sandy - that sounds awful, very sorry to hear it. :(

2:45 pm

lilliann

i hope all goes well for her and healing thoughts on the way sandy

2:45 pm

sandyloo

JC its beautiful here -thank goodness, i need the peace but we are not vegans (lol) we grow our veges, eat our eggs and .......dont be alarmed JC we even eat some of our livestock!

2:45 pm

J. C.

It's nice westford, yes - quiet and peaceful out here. Makes a welcome change from London, where we both work and spend our winters.

2:45 pm

sandyloo

but its all organic lol

2:45 pm

J. C.

That's too bad, Sandy . . . :(

2:46 pm

J. C.

Oh well. :/ I wish your daughter all the best, and hope something can be done to help her!!!

2:46 pm

sandyloo

thanks lil and all, but we are battling on and im sure the journey will end somewhere

2:47 pm

sandyloo

JC our animals have amazing lives here they are very happy and they follow me around, Im like the pied piper

2:50 pm

spanner

Hi everyone. Hows the grid?

2:50 pm

lilliann

hi spanner...long!!

2:50 pm

westford

JC just read your profile have a dear friend in Tadworth Surrey is that near you?

2:50 pm

dcseain

hi, spanner

2:50 pm

spanner

Lilli in that case I may never finish

2:51 pm

spanner

Hi dc.

2:51 pm

westford

her daughter just adopted 'Charlie' from Battersea

2:52 pm

sandyloo

hi dc, i love your icon, are the names in correct order from the left?

2:52 pm

spanner

Good for her. I hope Charlie brings her much happiness

2:52 pm

dcseain

from the right, sandy

2:52 pm

westford

he does that!

2:52 pm

lilliann

when i was younger my best friend and i use to go to battsea on the bus. we'd either go to the park or the dogs home

2:53 pm

lilliann

*battersea

2:53 pm

spanner

Ive never been - Im not one for busy places..

2:53 pm

sandyloo

my daughter is a carer for dogs in Broome for SAFE which picks dogs up off the street and rehomes them. Some of them are in shocking condition-Di nurses them back to health and has home quite a few

2:53 pm

spanner

But I wholeheartedly agree with rescuing animals

2:54 pm

lilliann

\ very rewarding job sandy

2:54 pm

lilliann

e got a rescue dog from battersea dogs home when i was younger but she got knocked over outside our house and killed

2:55 pm

spanner

A couple of my chickens are rehomed battery chicks - it was a nightmare to even get them out in the sunshine

2:55 pm

J. C.

That's where my last and present dog and my cat all came from, Lilliann - Battersea.

2:55 pm

spanner

lilli :(

2:55 pm

westford

it breaks your heart when a pet dies

2:55 pm

lilliann

*we, my typing has got to normal standard!!!

2:56 pm

lilliann

she was one of the best dogs we ever had. she looked just like a fox

2:56 pm

spanner

I dont know how anyone could abuse or abandon an animal

2:56 pm

sandyloo

she is a school teacher up there and some stories she tells us would give you nightmares, unfortunately our indingenous population in the North do not take care of their animals for the main part. There are many abused animals in Broome

2:56 pm

westford

JC did you see my question?

2:57 pm

lilliann

the only problem is that they have so many there its hard to choose isn't it jc?

2:57 pm

J. C.

No, westford - that's not what you'd call 'near' us, but it's driveable. I'm not in Surrey anymore, although we did live there (our family) for a while, when I was growing up . . . the area we were in is now part of Greater London.

2:57 pm

lilliann

how sad sandy

2:57 pm

J. C.

I did, westford - after returning to the computer.

2:57 pm

westford

oh I see I know part of her address is Kent

2:58 pm

lilliann

where in surrey jc?

2:58 pm

J. C.

I don't know either, spanner - nor do I understand who could buy a purebred puppy from a breeder, rather than adopt a shelter dog in desperate need of a home, when the cost of a purebred pup would cover saving the lives of a few shelter dogs.

2:58 pm

sandyloo

all our chooks are rehomed battery hens- the lot we have at the moment could not even walk when we got them , and had hardly any feathers. Now they are fully feathered, laying lovely eggs (sorry jc) and wander about under blue skys and lovely shady trees

2:59 pm

J. C.

Why sorry, Sandy? My chickens lay eggs to, you know.

2:59 pm

J. C.

Erm - 'too'.

2:59 pm

lilliann

according the rspca cat site, it costs them Â£33 per cat to care for them

2:59 pm

sandyloo

But we love eating ours jc!

2:59 pm

J. C.

Yes - I can actually type, when I put my mind to it. :P

2:59 pm

westford

explain battery hen please

2:59 pm

lilliann

Â£3oo

2:59 pm

J. C.

Yes, and so did we until fairly recently . . .

2:59 pm

spanner

My blue (the weimeraner) was going to be put down by the breeder cause he had a hernia, and he was so beautiful, I had to have him

2:59 pm

sandyloo

they are kept in tiny cages all their laying life

3:00 pm

J. C.

Eating eggs doesn't harm the chickens - only us.

3:00 pm

westford

oh so sad

3:00 pm

lilliann

how terrible spanner. we had a long haired weimeraner, he was gorgeous

3:00 pm

J. C.

Oh no, spanner - then he was a rescue!

3:00 pm

J. C.

They are beatiful dogs - did he have the hernia repaired?

3:00 pm

spanner

Not so terrrible for us or Blue

3:00 pm

sandyloo

it is horrible West-even when they say "free range" it means they are kept in a horrible crowded chook pen. Ours are true "free range"

3:00 pm

J. C.

Or did you, I should've said? :P

3:01 pm

J. C.

Beautiful dogs - ugh, I can't type for trying today.

3:01 pm

spanner

Vet said he didnt need to as long as he wasnt bred from and we didnt intend to show him

3:01 pm

westford

looking for eggs must be like a daily Easter egg hunt

3:01 pm

J. C.

Yes, Sandy - so are ours. Free range and spoilt, HAHAHA!

3:01 pm

J. C.

Oh, it's not causing him any bother then?

3:01 pm

spanner

I also have a very undersized black labrador callled dougie

3:02 pm

J. C.

Awww - they're beautiful also.

3:02 pm

westford

my son in law lol

3:02 pm

J. C.

My dog sort of resembles a very small, fine-boned version of one.

3:02 pm

sandyloo

so are ours JC and we have a border collie who guards them from Brer Fox!

3:02 pm

lilliann

our neighbour has a lovely black labrador

3:02 pm

J. C.

Yes, Sandy - my dog thinks she's our chickens' protector! It's so funny and cute . . .

3:03 pm

spanner

they were rescued JC but not because both of the breeders were paid, because I wanted the dogs rather than have them put down

3:03 pm

J. C.

Yes, I understand that spanner - and probably would've done the same!

3:04 pm

J. C.

I couldn't have standed knowing they would be put down, when it wasn't necessary! :(

3:04 pm

spanner

So, they are two rejects... and adored and spoiled and loved. Aint life grand?!

3:04 pm

sandyloo

JC We used to have a ram that would walk around the farm with my border and they would keep the chooks in a little group and herd them up. they make the chooks walk in a controlled group around the farm it was soooo funny

3:04 pm

J. C.

Fortunately yes, it is for them now! ;)

3:04 pm

westford

we have had dogs from the pound and two pure breds..Winston was a Springer Spaniel free to a good home because the owner was having a baby..he was the best dog with our children

3:04 pm

J. C.

I can't believe my dog wasn't wanted - or my last dog, both little mongrels I adopted from Battersea. Both wonderful, lovely and loving little girls!

3:05 pm

lilliann

they are very lucky spanner

3:05 pm

spanner

No Lilli WE are very lucky

3:05 pm

sandyloo

We had to rehome the ram because he became testosterone driven and was butting us all the time.

3:05 pm

westford

our other purebred was Chelsea the sweetest golden retriever our neighbor's sister's dog had a litter

3:05 pm

spanner

Sandy I have astag turkey like that

3:06 pm

lilliann

i feel like that about my cat spanner and my one i'm hopefully getting tomorrow

3:06 pm

J. C.

Oh I love dogs - all dogs. I have a deep appreciation for the different breeds, and the only reason I wouldn't buy a purebred from a breeder, is because of how desperate the plight of shelter dogs currently is. Mongrels in shelters are far less likely to get homes than purebred puppies - so that's what I go for.

3:06 pm

spanner

Sorry a stag

3:06 pm

lilliann

i wish i could have got him today, but i understand having the home checks

3:06 pm

westford

sandy what did the lady sheep have to say when the ram went away?

3:07 pm

lilliann

actually, i wanted to bring him home yesterday when i saw him

3:07 pm

sandyloo

JC I have a big problem with those abandoned dogs, every time Diana comes down she brings two or three for a holiday at the farm -we have 3 dogs already- I want to keep them all

3:07 pm

westford

I agree JC we have also had some wonderful mongrels too

3:07 pm

J. C.

I have had a purebred dog, as a boy - my parents bought it for us from a kennel when we were on holiday, one summer. A lovely little Dachshund . . .

3:07 pm

redturtlehead

Lilli! you have a net kitty coming?

3:07 pm

J. C.

Yes, Sandy - I'm sure I would want to, also!

3:07 pm

sandyloo

LIl -we gave away his girlfriend with him and he went to a farm with 6 more girlfriends

3:07 pm

redturtlehead

er new?

3:07 pm

westford

it's easy to see we all love animals

3:07 pm

spanner

Most of my dogs have been rejects in some way or another, but funnily enouggh they have nearly all been called that by breeders...

3:08 pm

J. C.

Well, my two since I left my parents' home were both definite 'rejects' - mongrels nobody wanted. They've each turned out to be the best dogs I ever could've wanted! :)

3:08 pm

J. C.

Yes, westford - animals are so easy to love!

3:09 pm

sandyloo

When i was up there last, one of Di's charges got sent to perth to a new home on the plane- we pathetically cried at the airport-even tho it was going to a good home

3:09 pm

J. C.

And spanner - noted what you said the last time I saw you here, and I don't know you from somewhere, do I?

3:09 pm

spanner

They are less complicated than people. They never bear a grudge and are always pleased to see you

3:09 pm

J. C.

Precisely, spanner . . .

3:09 pm

J. C.

Their love is unconditional . . .

3:09 pm

spanner

JC not personally, no.

3:10 pm

sandyloo

Our cow is always pleased to see me, especially if i have a bucket of feed

3:10 pm

lilliann

hi red, sorry i got sidetracked by the skating

3:10 pm

J. C.

Oh, I see . . .

3:10 pm

spanner

I'll drop you an e-mail if I may

3:10 pm

J. C.

Well you do, in that case. Shhh . . . 25th.

3:10 pm

lilliann

i'm hopefully getting a 10 year old tabby from the rescue centre red

3:10 pm

J. C.

You may . . .

3:10 pm

sandyloo

i am just going to do some work on this puzzle

3:10 pm

spanner

5:04 pm

DR1965

ok ... down to 7

5:04 pm

oodleberry

have to be so careful and then when I ask if wheat is in sauces they cant tell me cause they don't have the part where the ingredients are... think it is the law in the states..

5:07 pm

redturtlehead

yes, I am not in key west. that place would drive me nuts as a permanent home.

5:07 pm

welki

we have warm winds that blow in over the Rockies from British Columbia; they're called Chinooks and they usually last for a day or two. They bring the temps up here temporarily, enough to melt the snow, flood the basements... but we welcome the respite from the cold :)

5:07 pm

oodleberry

but where is clermont?

5:08 pm

redturtlehead

22 miles from Disney world...or land or whatever it is here.

5:08 pm

5:14 pm

DR1965

HE has no idea

5:14 pm

redturtlehead

you can do it DR, can you call in on a cell?

5:14 pm

oodleberry

especially if you are on an island or a barrier island ie: Galveston

5:14 pm

DR1965

Tht is what I am thinking Red. The school is only 10 minutes from our house

5:14 pm

redturtlehead

Galveston Texas? yes. they are hurricane alley.

5:14 pm

oodleberry

has anyone heard of that place ... any improvements?

5:15 pm

redturtlehead

We get a lot of heavy rain, wind but not always hurricane style.

5:15 pm

DR1965

I am not a hurricane or tornado kind of girl!

5:15 pm

DR1965

Earthquakes are much easier to deal with

5:15 pm

oodleberry

that was flattened ... almost no houses... and I was wanting to know if that house that was still standing ... if it was salvageable

5:16 pm

redturtlehead

I have no idea, but my guess is that it wasnt. in NC there are several towns just inland that everyone just left after I think Hurrican Fran. Now ghost towns...

5:16 pm

oodleberry

probably lots of mold damage

5:16 pm

redturtlehead

Not an earthquake girl.

5:18 pm

DR1965

5:18 pm

redturtlehead

I think reading to me is one of t he most important skills. It always shocks me when I meet people who really can not read.

5:19 pm

DR1965

HE has latched on to it as a security- new MUCH bigger school, only a few friends-- I have almost had to say quit reading and go outside

5:45 pm

JBV

5:45 pm

DR1965

I am so sad tho hear that JBV

5:45 pm

5:50 pm

oodleberry

oops I mean lexulous... you mean scramble?

5:51 pm

Scrabbler

I resist getting pulled in to the chaos of FB. I communicate with some friends and play games.

5:51 pm

oodleberry

I like scramble but it is a 3 minute one of these

5:51 pm

Scrabbler

No, Oodle, there is Hasbro's Scrabble on FB.

5:51 pm

oodleberry

do you have to pay for it?

5:52 pm

JBV

do you know about freerice.com? it is a vocabulary game - I like it because it is about word meanings, not just spelling words - also for every answer you are contributing a grain of rice (!) to some organization

5:53 pm

Scrabbler

I did that in the past--I should go back.

5:54 pm

hjst

5:55 pm

Scrabbler

I had the necessity to wlk the poopies at lunchtime today and as we passed one neighbor's place being occupied by Canadiens (Canadians?) the one ge6man came out ans asked if my poopies would be doing their business on the grass (DO you bring them out on the lawn to CRAP??!!) when I said Yes, I do, but Ido have bags to pick up after them, he walked away nonplussed....and just a few moments later we walked back by him barbequeing...and I thought o myse4, "se4 , as smart as they may be, I don't know of any dog who CAN poop in the toilet, so yes I do bring them outside to do their business."

7:40 pm

rururocks

kje did you ever see the Kandinski panels at the MOMA in NYC

7:40 pm

redturtlehead

Yyaaay I finally finished the A's.

7:40 pm

kje

and had wine - which may be why I am so slow now

7:40 pm

J. C.

It's 'Canadians', PAV - unless you're saying it in French! ;)

7:40 pm

jmcnrick

lol pav

7:40 pm

redturtlehead

PAV, how odd. very unexpectedbehavior.

7:40 pm

jmcnrick

go red!

7:41 pm

redturtlehead

thanks jmc, how was your Mom today?

7:41 pm

PAV3

do they allow pets to do business on the lawns in Canada?

7:41 pm

kje

I was at MOMA, and trying to remember what those were ru... it has been about 7-8 years... I saw all his at the Pompidou more recently

7:41 pm

J. C.

No kidding, PAV - I know some cats can be taught to, but a dog simply wouldn't be able to!

7:42 pm

lbdawger

lol Pav. some people just are odd.

7:42 pm

J. C.

I should think they would, PAV - just not other people's grass I wouldn't expect, like here.

7:42 pm

jmcnrick

she was fine red thanks for asking

7:42 pm

rururocks

he painted them for the entryway for some rich person in NY which were then purchased by the MOMA.. there are 4 panels.. unbelievable paintings

7:42 pm

kje

1st ma7?

7:42 pm

jmcnrick

we had indian food and then worked on a crossword

7:42 pm

rbud

maybe he was afraid you were aiming for HIS lawn, PAV

7:43 pm

kje

will check them out ru - should be back up there this spring

7:43 pm

redturtlehead

I think as long as someone cleans up, its no big deal, but sometimes my poor pup has a sensitive stomach and cleaning up is errr, difficult.

7:43 pm

rururocks

sea creature in Florida often thought of as mermaids

7:43 pm

redturtlehead

I am a bit jealous...

7:43 pm

redturtlehead

of the indian food.

7:43 pm

rururocks

the ma7 love cabbage

7:43 pm

jmcnrick

actually the poop is good for the lawn

7:43 pm

jmcnrick

jealous of the indian food?

7:43 pm

PAV3

and then I thought, well we don't allow our pets to be left on the patios, most of which are cemented in, and I certainly don't like it when they leave me presents indoors (knocks on wood - preferably maple)

7:44 pm

J. C.

Actually, I have kerb trained my dog, so she goes there if we're walking on the pavement. I then pick it up any solid waste with plastic bags and deposit it in the nearest rubbish receptacle.

7:44 pm

lbdawger

depends on what the dog has been eating...as to how good it is for the lawn.

7:44 pm

redturtlehead

it stinks to step in poop though.

7:44 pm

kje

they do? who do?

7:44 pm

J. C.

Erm, no jmc - it attracts other dogs to come along and do the same thing. And yes red - who wants that on their front garden? Not me, thank you . . .

7:44 pm

rururocks

pav has smaller dogs.. we aren't talking huge poops here

7:44 pm

jmcnrick

so true I get annoyed if neighbors leave presents

7:44 pm

rururocks

look a little further back kje

7:45 pm

J. C.

Doesn't matter, ruru - I still wouldn't want them on my grass!

7:45 pm

redturtlehead

I think its best to clean up after ones self, unless you live rurally.

9:34 pm

sandyloo

9:34 pm

J. C.

Ugh . . .

9:35 pm

stidmama

JC, remember to always try to plural everything when there is an S in the grid.

9:35 pm

stidmama

and try to past tense everything when there are ED side-by-side

9:35 pm

J. C.

Yes stid, I do that . . .

9:36 pm

sandyloo

My daughter, Diana who lives in Broome and is a school teacher has been taken by the aboriginals when they hunted turtles and dugongs (that is an honor) she is a very strict vegetarian since 10 years old- and she was appalled but couldnt show it

9:36 pm

J. C.

I just can't think of any word for something in the middle of a gas light - having trouble thinking at all! :P

9:36 pm

J. C.

I could never do it, Sandy . . .

9:36 pm

stidmama

JC. it's a homophone for the ledge above a fireplace

9:36 pm

sandyloo

they cooked the dugong and gave her a piece and she had to pretend to eat it

9:36 pm

stidmama

and an anagram, as well!

9:37 pm

J. C.

I wouldn't, there is no way. I couldn't witness that . . .

9:37 pm

sandyloo

I dont think they should be allowed to kill them

9:37 pm

J. C.

Of course not - animals aren't food for us, so it's needless.

9:37 pm

J. C.

Oh - OK stid, trying . . .

9:37 pm

J. C.

Hmmm . . . not working.

9:38 pm

sandyloo

keep going on the grid jc, dont be distracted or time will run out....tick tick tick

9:38 pm

stidmama

I agree with the not killing sentiment, but I also understand the important of ancestral ways to people whose culture was systematically suppressed and almost eradicated.

9:38 pm

stidmama

looking for last MA 7, right?

9:38 pm

J. C.

Maybe I have them in the wrong order again . . .

Oh yes, there we go . . .

9:39 pm

J. C.

9:39 pm

stidmama

it will automatically enter things in the right place for you.

9:40 pm

sandyloo

tick....tick

9:40 pm

J. C.

It doesn't enter anything automatically for me?

9:40 pm

J. C.

Or perhaps I don't know how to do that?

9:40 pm

J. C.

I've been typing the words in . . .

9:40 pm

sandyloo

enter it from the top and it will put it in

9:40 pm

stidmama

Here is a clue paragraph for non-finishers. I am very an 4/4 when it comes to proper English. I fe 4/7 like everyone should know how to speak correct English. I've always fe4/7 this way,probably ever since I was in the fe5/16 position.I'd like to think that all the an 5/14s up in heaven use correct grammar. I'm an ESL teacher so I look at an5/14.Unfortunately there are many people who ca 4/5 speak proper English.I have a friend and her na4/5 is An 4/4 uses terrible English and I always correct her.She always gets very angry and says to me, "da4/7 girl! Not everyone is perfect at English like you! You are so me 4/5 correcting me all the time!You're such an an 4/5!" I think she would like to knock me fl 4/7 sometimes. But I'm still gl 4/7 she is my friend.One time I cancelled a da 4/5 with a ge 4/6 because his grammar but I went on plenty of other da5/12 with ma 5/12 who's grammar was good I learned la4/4 in li4/7,grammar usage isn't the most important thing in the world. I've also learned to be more ge6/24 about criticizing other's grammar.So in li 4/5 of correcting people I just grin and bare it. My current ma 4/5 uses bad English, but I love him.So to all those who use correct grammar,I raise my gl5/14 to you with gl4/6. My ta 4/4 is finally done and now I am putting myse4/7 to bed.Goodnight to all babblers!

Third and fourth 'su4' words and one of the last two su6's - only couldn't tell you which one at the moment . . .

11:04 pm

J. C.

Oh, think I have the first three now . . .

11:05 pm

I should think you have the pudding, the additions, and the past tense of the musical effort.

11:05 pm

J. C.

Yes, those I do have . . .

11:06 pm

jillibus

the others are all what shines in the sky with a dbl last letter + a vowel and then a pl

11:06 pm

And one other 'su' word - a 5.

11:06 pm

jillibus

two diff shiny things

J. C.

Oh thanks - got one more!

11:08 pm

J. C.

Missing one 'su4' word now . . .

11:08 pm

11:11 pm

11:11 pm

J. C.

I just found two more of them, Jill - filling them in.

11:12 pm

jillibus

can't help, jc, if I don't know what you need

11:12 pm

J. C.

I know - but I'm not sure what I need until I fill in what I have, as I have a few of them already. So I'm entering them in the list . . .

11:13 pm

jillibus

attaboy, jc

11:13 pm

J. C.

OK - I am missing three ta4 words, and the 6 and 7, and a 5 . . .

11:13 pm

J. C.

It looks like I have the first three . . .

11:14 pm

jillibus

11:14 pm

J. C.

Yes, Jill - and I just found the 6 and 7! :)

11:15 pm

jillibus

and the first 4 letters of the 6 and 7?

11:15 pm

jillibus

and its pl

11:15 pm

J. C.

So, I just need the 4 after the Scottish hats, then the last ta word - the 4 .

11:16 pm

gapeach

11:16 pm

J. C.

The very LAST 'ta' word, Jill? How can it be?

11:17 pm

jillibus

and the last ta word is t + donkey ;)

11:17 pm

J. C.

And no - I have another after the Scottish hats, before the one that's the first four letters of the 6 & 7 . . .

11:17 pm

J. C.

Unless I'm missing the one BEFORE the Scottish hats?

11:18 pm

J. C.

Oh, thank you . . .

11:18 pm

J. C.

Just missing that one now . . .

11:18 pm

J. C.

If I ever miss anything important you say here, somehow, you could paste it into an e-mail . . .

11:37 pm

J. C.

But I'll try not to, of course! ;)

11:37 pm

Morning all. Sleepless in Essex here.

11:45 pm

jillibus

Hello Frances

11:45 pm

Jacula

There's a lot of it about in UK today, Frances. Hello.

11:46 pm

jillibus

jac -- very funny icon!

11:46 pm

Frances

Hi Jac and jilli. Are you well?

11:46 pm

Jacula

I'm not, Frances. Have picked up a mutated version of Other Half's lurgy.

11:47 pm

jillibus

Fine, thanks, frances. Do you have Tim Horton's in the UK?

11:47 pm

Jacula

(Not to mention the night sweats!) Still, mustn't grumble. LOL!

11:47 pm

jillibus

sorry about that, jac. Lurgy????

11:47 pm

Frances

Poor you Jac. You'll excuse me if I stand well back then.

11:48 pm

Jacula

Oh course, Frances. I'd do the same myself. Well, I did, but it didn't work, since we share a room.

11:48 pm

jillibus

As in Al Lurgy?

11:48 pm

gapeach

May I please have a clue for da4-6 the 1st? Thanks

11:49 pm

Frances

Jilli - no it was left over from favourite beverage day - coffee.

11:49 pm

Jacula

Jilli - 'the dreaded lurgy/lurgey' - a nasty bug or virus. In this case, a cold/flu thing.

11:49 pm

jillibus

I see, lol!

11:49 pm

J. C.

I'm back - with tea and a little sandwich I made.

11:49 pm

Jacula

gap - da4/6 = da** & blast it! A curse.

11:50 pm

Jacula

Hi again J.C. What's on the sandwich?

11:50 pm

jillibus

JC, I emailed you about Babble Expert -- gave up on your seeing it here, lol

11:50 pm

Frances

Jac, first time for a few years that I've escaped the dreaded. Feeling a bit smug. Hope I don't live to regret it.

11:50 pm

jillibus

Hope it's not Marmite, JC

11:50 pm

J. C.

In, Jacula - veggie 'balogna' and veggie 'cheese'.

11:51 pm

J. C.

With some mustard . . .

11:51 pm

J. C.

No, Jill - I have that on toast! ;)

11:51 pm

gapeach

Thanks, Jacula.....only 5 left.

11:51 pm

Frances

Love marmite.

Hi J.C.

11:51 pm

jillibus

Yuk to Marmite (and I've tried and tried!)

11:51 pm

J. C.

I did see it all, Jill - and thank you. I scrolled back to find and read it. ;)

11:52 pm

Jacula

Frances - you'll probably get a summer cold instead. LOL

11:52 pm

J. C.

I love Marmite - but admit it's an acquired taste, to anyone who isn't British! ;)

11:52 pm

Jacula

I love marmite!

11:52 pm

jillibus

gogogo peach!!!

11:52 pm

J. C.

Yes, Jacula and Frances - I love it as well!

11:52 pm

Jacula

Not keen on veggie cheese though. Sorry!

11:53 pm

J. C.

Well, I wouldn't eat the real thing, so I stick with this - there are good and bad ones, though . . .

11:53 pm

Jacula

Marmite on Ryvita or Marmite on toast. Yum!

11:53 pm

jillibus

I am/was British, but couldn't acquire it. Bloater paste, though...yum

11:53 pm

sandyloo

vegemite is better

11:53 pm

Jacula

Other Half hates Marmite.

11:53 pm

J. C.

As with soy milk, all are not created equally well . . .

11:53 pm

Jacula

Bloater paste - YUCK!

11:53 pm

Frances

Thanks Jac. You mean if it thebrain doesn't stop my cricket, the dreaded will?

11:53 pm

J. C.

No, Sandy - Marmite is better! ;)

11:53 pm

jillibus

Here we go again with the Aussie Vegemite adoration

11:54 pm

gapeach

an5-10 the 1st please? Thanks

11:54 pm

J. C.

We'll start an English-Austrailan 'war' over Marmite/Vegemite in a minute, HAHAHA! ;)

11:54 pm

J. C.

HAHAHA, Jill . . .

11:54 pm

jillibus

It's old hat here, JC

11:54 pm

Jacula

I love certain brands of flavoured soya milk but hate plain soya milk. I used to have to give 'wysoy' the baby formula version to my son and it tasted and smelled like warm chip fat.

11:54 pm

J. C.

A yearly report or book, peach? Like an uptight person or a body orifice, only with a double consonant . . .

11:55 pm

Frances

Oh yuk Jac.

11:55 pm

J. C.

Eww, Jacula - not pleasant!

11:55 pm

sandyloo

jc i have tasted english marmite, it is better that what we get in Aus which is sickly sweet -but you cant have vegemite being a vegan

11:55 pm

jillibus

what's unvegan about vegemite?

11:56 pm

J. C.

Oh, well I wasn't sure what's in Vegemite, Sandy - I've been in Australia, but that was years ago, before I was concerned about such things. Yes - what's unvegan about it?

11:56 pm

gapeach

Thanks, J.C.

11:56 pm

sandyloo

vegemite is made with meat stock isn't it?

11:56 pm

J. C.

I didn't think it was?

11:56 pm

Jacula

I must try vegemite some time. They do sell it here.

11:56 pm

J. C.

I know Bovril is - which is why I don't have that.

11:56 pm

herinfernallady

No its not its made of Yeast

11:56 pm

jillibus

as is Marmite

11:56 pm

Frances

Wyy is it called VEGImite if made with meat stock?

11:57 pm

J. C.

I am fairly certain as with our Marmite, that Vegemite is from brewer's yeast extract - and contains not meat.

11:57 pm

Frances

Yes Jac Waitrose sell it.

11:57 pm

J. C.

Hence the name - as Frances has just said. ;)

11:57 pm

sandyloo

11:57 pm

jillibus

brb...

11:57 pm

herinfernallady

Hi. Vegimite is made of YEAST

11:57 pm

J. C.

'Contains no meat,' sorry - please pardon my typing!

11:57 pm

Jacula

No, sandy, it's made from yeast extract left over from brewing beer, and veg and spice additives.

11:58 pm

smilesoplenty

a friend from new zealand told me vegemite is fermented yeast stuff?

11:58 pm

Frances

Hi infernal.

smilesoplenty

I don't worry about kosher - I'm not Jewish. ;) I was raised Catholic . . .

11:59 pm

11:59 pm

J. C.
