Sprite. I have converted! As you know I have had a heavy cold for the last 4 weeks. Yesterday I bought an over-the-counter Homeopathic Head Cold tiny tiny tablets...with amazingly fast results. Perhaps you could look out for similar remedies, the flu seems to get you regukarly
3:59 am

ouch... but better than the alternative, right rose?

i have never had the flu vaccine even though i am told those of my age should

remind me Flask...where from and where to? I do rememeber you talking about moving quite a while ago wasn't iut?
4:01 am

that is a good idea, lyn, I will check. I remember a homeopathic alternative for antibiotics, which took care of a constant cough the regular meds didn't work for. Thanks.

better a short smart than that again, rose. You don't belong amidst sick people ;)

4:33 am

4:33 am

Kallia
I don't think I would have found that without a clue
4:34 am
fuquayvarina
lol, I'm positive I wouldn't have found it
4:34 am

4:38 am
fuquayvarina

4:39 am
sprite

4:40 am
fuquayvarina
see, if you let it really collect, then when you du4, you feel like you've actually accomplished something...
4:40 am
sprite

4:41 am
elder
I used to like cleaning windows.
4:41 am
fuquayvarina
right. We got new windows last fall, and I'm actually looking forward to them getting dirty enough to bother washing. They're the nice tilt-in ones.
4:42 am
sprite
same here. Especially on a nice day. When the water turns black and the windows are like a mirror. For a few hours.
4:43 am

todays omelette is a 3 egg,smoked ham and sharp cheddar omelette with diced yellow pepper:)
7:21 am
elder
Sounds nice Cross. But I will pass on the ham.
7:21 am
jacq
mmmmmmmm all i had was roast beef salad with no peppers cos the little un doesn't like them
7:22 am
jacq
mind you i did make a nice fruit salad too
7:22 am
crosshair
i can always substitute mushrooms
7:22 am
elder
Cross that will would good . Thank you.
7:22 am
oodleberry
is it the meat elder?
7:23 am
oodleberry
or are you a vegitarien
7:23 am
crosshair
or the pork?
7:23 am
jacq
elder is vegetarian
7:23 am
elder
Oodle yes. I have been a vegetarian for years but I do miss meats.
7:23 am
jacq
but she would love my meatballs if she wasn't
7:24 am
crosshair
ahh ok then for elder....
7:24 am
jacq
did you go veggie for health reasons?
7:24 am
oodleberry
I make killer itialian meataballs
7:24 am
jacq
my friend found she just couldn't stomach meat any more, even just the thought of it made her feel ill
7:24 am
crosshair
a nice 3 egg..mushroom ,green pepper and spanish onion omelette with a hint of chives
7:25 am
oodleberry
with the sauce to go along with it... but some times I am too lazy and I buy sauce at the store... you can't get very good sauces in jars here
7:25 am
elder
Jacq, many years ago. It was to do with the way animals were kept and treated and all the anti bodies that were being pumped into them.
7:26 am
jacq
nods, i agree, when my girls were old enough i spoke to them about animal care etc, just so they were fully informed about what was on their plate
7:27 am
elder
I loved meat and think at some pint I will return to eat it .Mind you its been nearly thirty years.
7:27 am
oodleberry
well there is free range chickens and unadulterated beef out there
7:27 am
jacq
you'd have to take it very very slowly elder
7:27 am
elder
I eat fish at times as I Know I can catch, hit on head and fillet.
7:27 am
crosshair
i buy all my meat(and egg) from a local farm up the highway a bit.they raise thier own in small lots and they are all free range and organic
7:28 am
oodleberry
ok I have bee staring at this grid for about 10 minutes now and don't see um ... well you know feces
7:28 am
crosshair
no chickens in little boxes with thier feet cut off so as to get fat:(
7:28 am
oodleberry
best way to eat them elder
7:28 am
elder
That is impressive Cross. As good animal welfare makes for better eating .
7:29 am
crosshair
you can go and see you dinner in motion and tour the barns:)
7:29 am
oodleberry
oh that infuriates me cross... and so what if they are only for food... don't have to torture them... boy if they could talk...
7:29 am
oodleberry
hee ehe hee cross
7:30 am
crosshair
lol oodles,they are not tortured
7:30 am
crosshair
better than the mass production lines
7:30 am
elder
I laughed at imagining Cross seeking his next meal - not the chicken torture.
7:30 am
oodleberry
I didn't say they were... the ones that are though... in little boxes with their feet cut off
7:31 am
oodleberry
THAT'S torture
7:31 am
crosshair
funny though its strange when you actually know the nakme of the pork chop thats on yer plate
7:31 am
NonoNanette
good morning babblers :)
7:31 am
oodleberry
damn makes me sick just thinking about it
7:31 am
crosshair
morning nono
7:31 am
NonoNanette
Crossy did you get the link from Temple Owl yesterday?
7:31 am
crosshair
no i did not nono
7:32 am
jacq
hello nanette
7:32 am
oodleberry
hi nono
7:32 am
elder
Another issue that makes me really cross, is animals travelling for miles across countries to be slaughtered on arrival.
7:32 am
NonoNanette
it was about bacon let me see if i can find it for you
7:32 am
crosshair
sadly ive seen it oodles hence the reason i go to this free range organic farm
7:32 am
elder
hello Nono.
7:32 am
jacq
i agree elder, we even ship them abroad here
7:33 am
crosshair
we have what we call "100 mile" stores now.any and all prdice they sell has to be made sold and shipped from within a circle no larger than 100 miles
7:35 am
crosshair
i tell you it makes a heck of a difference in the fresh veggies
7:35 am
oodleberry
well I hope this world gets green and organic so nothing suffers...eutopian idea for a world filled with people who don't give a rats butt about the enviornment.... just their presious wallet
7:35 am
elder
Recenlty read that the debate about TB being passed to cows is on the agenda again. The badger viewed as the culprit.
7:36 am
elder
Oodle the problem is that we have gotten used to paying cheap prices for food.
7:36 am
elder
Cross. that used to happen years ago and it worked fine then.
7:37 am
crosshair
what the 100 mmile stores elder?
7:37 am
jacq
not everyone can afford good organic produce, i remember my daughter having to have organic produce, it cost the earth, and that was just for her, imagine feeding a family of 4 on that
7:37 am
crosshair
or just buying it right from the back of the farmers truck in the driveway?
7:37 am
jacq
at that time it was £10 for a chicken that wasn't even 3lbs in wieght
7:38 am
oodleberry
but if we are green in other places we will have enough money to pay for the organic stuff and also the organic stuff will start coming down in price cause there is a bigger market for it...
7:38 am
elder
Jacq, that why it helps the family budget if one can grow stuff yourself in the garden or pots.
7:38 am
jacq
nods our weekly income then was £140
7:39 am
crosshair
we are making a pot garden this year,some tomatos,green beans,snap peas :)
7:39 am
jacq
elder i hadn't the time or energy, i was caring for both girls, in wheelchairs, and doing everything for them
7:39 am
oodleberry
kewel cross
7:39 am
crosshair
its amazing what you can grow on a apt terrace:)
7:39 am
jacq
it is cheaper now, and should get even cheaper in future
7:39 am
elder
I think sometimes organic food is priced too much. particularly veg.
7:40 am
jacq
that's partly because of the restrictions and standards for the soil they are grown on, it takes a lot for a farm to become organic
7:40 am
oodleberry
well it is more here... the regular supermarkets or getting into the organic produce and I think they should also get into organic meats too
7:41 am
elder
jacq, it was general thought not aimed at you. My goodness you must have times been exhausted. Love and care --you still get tired.
7:41 am
crosshair
we have five 10 inch around planters and we use them:) at seasons end we dump the old soil in the flower garden outside the building and start with fresh every year;))
7:41 am
elder
5 years to prove organic ground here.
7:42 am
oodleberry
cross? do you have metro there??
7:42 am
elder
Of course all this home ground stuff is causing problems with the peat bogs.
7:42 am
crosshair
yes we do its our fav store actually
7:42 am
crosshair
lol we dont have peat bogs elder;)
7:42 am
elder
oodle are you a vegetarian ?.
7:43 am
crosshair
gtg tc all and see yous all later
7:43 am
oodleberry
ok I thnk if I am not mistaken they have organic produce... no I am a carnivor/herbivor
7:43 am
oodleberry
what is the word for being both?
7:44 am
jacq
you'll eat anything
7:44 am
elder
oodle they do but its more expensive - no surprise there.
7:45 am
oodleberry
no I meant metro
7:45 am
elder
Jacq, the rule states clearly if you are going to post words they have to be in the grid. :).
7:45 am
oodleberry

Very poetic, Harpjane. Star-crossed Peeps. Sorrow!
8:41 am
harpjane
my only regret is that i'm not the one who thought of it!
8:41 am
Judi
Am I the only one that thinks Shakespeare was an over-rated hack?
8:42 am
harpjane
read some of the Thursday Next books, for a fun look at shakespeare among other things
8:43 am
Judi
Shakespeare and fun really never went together for me.
8:45 am

Well, call me crazy then. I also don't like Elvis, Bruce Springstein, or Ernest Hemingway.
8:53 am
harpjane
i don't have the attention span for reading Shakespeare but I love to watch the plays....
8:59 am
Judi
Plays are always more interesting when performed. Midsummer's Night Dream was about the only bearable one that I can recall.
9:00 am

I'm rethinking playing babble while babysitting three 3yo's...
9:20 am
Judi
Just lock them in the closet, Magyk.
9:21 am
flosey
lol Judi, but are you too tired by the time they go to bed Magy?
9:21 am
mom2han8
will that work on 13 year olds, as well???
9:21 am
flosey
lol mom, a time you'd sometimes like to lock them up!
9:21 am
Judi
Nah. 13 yo's you have to lock in the basement.
9:22 am
mom2han8
UGH... its just a ridiculous age.
9:22 am
mom2han8
LOL Judi
9:22 am
o-o
were we not once all children too?
9:22 am
Judi
How about yesterday's article about the mom that dropped made her squabbling daughters get out of the car, and then she drove off without them!
9:22 am
mom2han8
It really is a shame that their attitudes so stink, as they are finally at an age where they can be semi-productive around the house... can anyone say Cinderella???
9:23 am
flosey
oh my Judi, didn't see that! hope they weren't too far from home
9:23 am
Magyk
sorry had to put one in time out. they are my sister's triplet boys. and they are kind of cranky right now!
9:23 am
mom2han8
OMG... I live near there and it was on our news on Tuesday... frankly I was like...hmmm, yeah.. I understand.
9:23 am
mom2han8
She probably should not have gotten home and reported her missing... I love how the 12 year old caught up to the car and she let her back in.
9:24 am
flosey
could I please have a clue for last su6?
9:24 am
Judi
Sounds a bit extreme. I don't think they were very far from home, but the 8 year old was traumatized. Understandably so. Mom really wigged out on that one.
9:24 am
mom2han8
Of course one of the strangest things is that the 10 year old was "picked up" by a good samaritan and brought to the local PD... I would kill my kid if she got into a car with a stranger.
9:25 am
o-o
su 6 -- double consonant in the middle; double vowel at the end
9:25 am
mom2han8
It was reported here that they were 10 and 12... so you are talking about 5th and 7th graders...
9:25 am
Judi
The whole thing had the potential to go very bad. Some family counseling needed there.
9:25 am
Magyk
My mom used to threaten my sisters and I all the time with leaving us. Honestly though, being a teacher and in the schools I've noticed that some kids just don't care anymore...
9:25 am
kje
it's funny in a way... think how much things have changed... I can completely hear my dad telling a story about his parents doing something like that and everyother parent of that era would have said the kid deserved it... now we are aghast
9:26 am
mom2han8
OMG I agree Judi... but let me ask you... hasn't it ever occurred to you even once??? LOL.
9:26 am
flosey
my mom did the same Magy - she'd put her coat on and say she was leaving us - we were quite young and would cling to her! a very bad thing to do to little ones
9:26 am
mom2han8
I think my Dad actually did it to my sister and I... obviously I was not that traumatized by it.
9:26 am
kje
NOT that I think it was a smart thing to do, it is just interesting how things have changed
9:27 am
Judi
I don't have kids, but I have been in cars with unruly kids, so I understand the mom's compulsion. To her credit, she did pull over and stop, rather than just punching the "eject" button.
9:27 am
kje
I was never left anywhere on purpose, but I was forgotten
9:27 am
mom2han8
OMG... my grandmother lived downstairs so my mother would actually leave!!!
9:27 am
Magyk
Well Flosey, we were old enough to know better honestly...
9:27 am
Judi
Oh no, kje! How old were you?
9:28 am
mom2han8
KJE... I am the oldest so never forgotten, but my youngest sister has some stories.
9:28 am
flosey
ah, we might have been preschool,
9:28 am
kje
like 4th or 5th grade... they remembered about half way down the street (after church one night)... that is what happens when you have 7 kids - LOL
9:29 am
mom2han8
I distinctly remember forgetting my sister at a farm... then my father started counting when we were in the car...
9:29 am
mom2han8
And of course we all felt terrible because no one else noticed she was not there either.
9:29 am
kje
honestly - wasn't all that traumatized... was scared at first when you realize you are left, and then you kind of figure they'll show up again - LOL
9:30 am
mom2han8
Poor little thing.
9:30 am
Judi
Never was forgotten by parents. Although, I probably would have thought it an adventure if I had been. "Just go to gramma's" was my motto.
9:30 am
mom2han8
In any case we will see what happens... they always say don't threaten your children if you are not going to follow through... props to her for following through... LOL!
9:31 am
mom2han8
She will probably get off if she agrees to counseling, which will probably be a good thing... I think she just came to the end of her rope.
9:31 am
kje
my dad use to make my brother get out of the car and run the last few blocks home when he was too wound up - it was kind of a game
9:32 am
mom2han8
Honestly she must be kind of humiliated in the sense that the kids really, in the end, got the best of her.
9:32 am
kje
granted... they never threatened to desert us
9:32 am
Magyk
I think parents need to have more discipline but now a days it's almost considered child abuse....
9:32 am
Judi
Yes. I can't see them charging her with anything. I'm sure the kids were really scared when the cops got involved.
9:32 am
mom2han8
My daughter actually gets po'd when she cannot get the rise out of me that she is going for..
9:33 am
mom2han8
Judi... they charged her with child endangerment I believe.
9:33 am
kje
I don't know, systems are crazy, I can see her being charged with child abuse... or at least having to deal with CPS
9:33 am
mom2han8
Probably won't go to trial or anything if they get counseling... she is a big-time corporate attorney.
9:33 am
Judi
Yes, I saw that mom2. I don't think the Judge will make it stick, though. Unless she has a habit of doing such things.
9:34 am
mom2han8
No, absolutely...and, hey, who couldn't benefit from a little free counseling???
9:34 am
kje
she's an attorney????? interesting - wow, she really lost her cool
9:34 am
mom2han8
Well, my husband also said that while he understood her frustration he hoped that she was just someone who reached the end of her rope and that it was an isolated incident... that we don't come to find out that she is some kind of lunatic.
9:35 am
mom2han8
Yes KJE, which is why I think she ended up going home and reporting the kid "missing"... she knew her actions would be chargeable as child endangerment... of course she did not expect that the kid was in the PD in the next town already spilling her story!
9:35 am
mom2han8
Rotten kid!
9:36 am
kje
then she dropped the kids a whole town away??? wow, that is scary
9:36 am
o-o
I am now more glad than ever for my parents.
9:38 am
mom2han8
yeah... but she lives in Spring Valley and dropped them in White Plains... not exactly the middle of nowhere and they should have been able to find their way home rather easily...
9:38 am
mom2han8
So now some guy sees this kid crying on the side of the road, the kid tells the story, and he takes her to the PD...
9:38 am
kje
my parents would never have put us in or left us in danger.... I remember when I was a teenager and decided I was going to drive to houston (4.5 hours away) for a concert and the car broke down... they came and got me. a girlfriend had a similar incident just on the other side of dallas and also wasn't suppose to be there and her parents made her find her own way home - that is when I stopped wishing for other parents as a teenager... at least mine didn't punish me until I got home and was safe
9:39 am
mom2han8
Maybe she went back and looked for her and she wasn't on the road so she reported her missing.. I don't know.
9:39 am
mom2han8
Also, KJE my parents would have absolutely done the same thing in that situation... but that is a different situation.
9:40 am
mom2han8
I don't know that broad daylight in white plains is the same thing.
9:40 am
kje
she dropped an 8 year old in another town! granted, she probably thought the 12 year old would stay with her, but OMG! an 8 year old cannot find her way home that far
9:41 am
mom2han8
I think she was 10... and my 10 year old could have found her way home in a heartbeat... actually my kid could have found her way home at 5 or 6... she used to play this game in the car where she would tell me where to turn to get home...
9:41 am
Judi
Can I get a clue for the te5/10, please?
9:42 am
mom2han8
Not defending her actions, just saying that things are not always what they seem or what is reported... we shall see.
9:42 am
mom2han8
OMG... gotta get back to the grid... I only found 2 words this whole time, LOL!
9:42 am
kje
te5 - brief and curt
9:43 am
kje
agreed mom2 - things are often not as they seeem
9:43 am
Judi
Ty. I'll take a fish slap to go with my fireworks!
9:44 am
mom2han8
good for you Judi...I got fireworks yesterday....it's always nice!
9:44 am
flosey

9:44 am
kje
woohoo!!! and mackerel!
9:44 am
Judi
Time for more coffee and to update the checkbook. Stop me before I have too much fun!
9:44 am
mom2han8
And you always miss the obvious ones I have noticed!
9:45 am
kje
woohoo flosey!!!
9:45 am
mom2han8
I saw a quote about coffee the other day... I think it said something like coffee... gives you the ability to do stupid things faster and with less focus or something like that... it made me laugh.
9:45 am
torgone
Heyas kids
9:45 am
flosey
fireworks - and now I can enjoy my first coffee of the day
9:45 am
kje
faster and with more focus - LOL
9:46 am
mom2han8
yeah.. maybe that was it kje... more enthusiasam and more focus for the stupid things...
9:46 am
Judi
lol, Mom2. I have a postcard on my fridge that says: "Drink Coffee. Do stupid things faster with more energy." I also have another one that says, "Make yourself at home. Clean my kitchen."
9:47 am
mom2han8
I was looking for a nice wooden sign for my kitchen... I want the one that says Life just hasn't been the same since they dropped that house on my sister... couldn't find it, but found that one and another one I really liked which was, "I need minions"... LOL!
9:47 am
mom2han8
That is the quote Judi... and I like both of them!
9:47 am
flosey
when it comes to the things I must do but don't like I just put on some great music - nice and loud - military marches work for me
9:47 am
mom2han8
My mother used to clean to The Stray Cats... it was a sight to see!
9:48 am
mom2han8
I just got a cute sign that says "Wishes won't do dishes"... so I hung it over my sink... so far my daughter and my husband are still wishing and I'm still dishing, LOL!
9:49 am
Judi
lol. That reminds me of the scene in "Mrs. Doubtfire" where Mrs. D was vacuuming to the tune of "Dude Looks Like A Lady" by Aerosmith. Hysterical.
9:49 am
kje
I use to clean to winton marssalis classical album
9:49 am
mom2han8
Yes... That's about the size of it Judi...
9:49 am
flosey
I also use Il Divo - but hubby doesn't like it so can only play when he's not in
9:50 am
mom2han8
I really like classical music, but don't know that I could clean to it, LOL!
9:50 am
kje
classical trumpet - very rousing
9:50 am
mom2han8
flosey... heard of them but not familiar with them... listen, whatever gets you through the day!
9:50 am
Judi
Get an IPod, Flosey. That way you can tune into the music and tune out the hubby!
9:51 am
bichon
I love my IPOD Nano
9:51 am
flosey
lol, good idea Judi - then if he wan't my attention he has to be right in my face!
9:51 am
flosey
and smiling sweetly I might add
9:51 am
Judi
Be jealous, bichon - be very jealous. I have an ITouch. *sticks tongue out*
9:52 am
flosey
off to get that well deserved coffee - bfn
9:52 am
mom2han8
My daughter makes fun of my iPod... I have a relic.. I think it was the original (used to be my husbands until he got the super duper one).
9:52 am
Judi
Me too! *POOF*
9:52 am
kje
ihave an iphone and an ipod... so there
9:52 am
mom2han8
I don't care.. it works.
9:53 am
mom2han8
Cool KJE!
9:53 am
mom2han8
I swear that thing will be able to drive your car soon!
9:53 am
kje
they last forever mom2 - they never seem to die, and if they do, the genius bar tweeks it and poof it works again
9:53 am
kje
I have a friend who has one of the 1st gen ones and everytime she thinks it has died it resurrects
9:54 am
mom2han8
Now, if it only had an application that would rid the average 13 year old of the snotty behavior!
9:54 am
mom2han8
Yes... I actually lost mine for a time... found it and thought it would never recharge... it did and nothing was lost, LOL!
9:54 am
kje
love 'em thru it... heaping coals and all that
9:55 am
mom2han8
I think this one is a first generation.. it's not the nano.. I think it is 1 gig (???).
9:56 am
kje
love apple - collest in every way
9:56 am
mom2han8
Oh, I know KJE... but it is like living with Sybil! My husband said she was fine last night... I was out at a tricky tray (and actually won a few things, thank you very much) so maybe it is my presence that makes her nutty!
9:56 am
kje
wow, 1 gig - LOL... mine is 80
9:56 am
kje
amazing what they can do these days... will never fill the thing
9:56 am
mom2han8
I want to get a laptop and my daughter is trying to convince us to get Apple.
9:57 am
flosey
ahhhhhhhhh, the luxury, have been up for an hour and first coffee!
9:57 am
mom2han8
80 gig??? Wow! I think my husband has the 40 gig
9:57 am
Magyk
I just recently got my first ipod. It's a green nano! so pretty! and 16GB
9:57 am
kje
I love my Mac - but depends on what apps you need to use
9:57 am
mom2han8
they are really great... i love the solitaire game on it... keeps me busy while waiting for things...
9:57 am
flosey
it'll take a bit of getting use to mom, I used my daughter's while in Vancouver couple weeks ago and really frustrated
9:57 am
kje
that is cool mag - 16gb in something so small
9:58 am
mom2han8
I would like to upgrade to the touch because I hear that you can upload books to it... I used to do that on my Palm Pilot and liked it
9:58 am
kje
and I feel frustrated on a PC - too many steps to do what my Mac does intuitively
9:58 am
car.eeyore
Sorry to interrupt! May I have clues for those nasty F's?
9:58 am
kje
i can't read on one of those - i like holding a book
9:58 am
flosey
ah, perhaps all in what you start out with
9:59 am
mom2han8
My husband is fighting her on it... I don't really care. I just want to be able to have the versatility of a laptop... and I want my dining room back... my monitor is a dinosaur and the whole thing just takes up too much space!
9:59 am
car.eeyore
TY KJE! Got 'em!
9:59 am
car.eeyore
My DH just got a Kindle 2...that thing is AMAZING!
10:00 am
mom2han8
You know I thought I would hate it, but I didn't.. and it has a backlight so no fumbling for the book light... I understand with the iTouch you can make the font bigger, which you can't with the Palm.. which is why I abandoned it, ultimately... don't want to wear my reading glasses in bed...
10:01 am
mom2han8
But the kindle is proprietery, no??? Meaning that you have to rent from their site??? with the palm you could go right through the local library website and the books would upload right to the palm (for free), which is how I understand the iTouch works
10:01 am
kje
in the end, Macs are cheaper, b/c you get so much more for your money without having to do all the upgrades, and most repair is negligible, and you can always use the genius bar for free... unlike dell, etc
10:02 am
mom2han8
KJE... I have put my husband on the research... I keep hearing great things about the Mac laptops...so, we shall see...
10:02 am
mom2han8
It's the initial outlay of $$$ that scares him, LOL!
10:02 am
flosey
daughter switched and loves the mac
10:03 am
mom2han8
He really wants to go with the traditional computer on the table and I just don't want to do that again... I really don't have the room if I can avoid it.
10:03 am
mom2han8
All the kids love their macs
10:03 am
kje
but compare the price of a similar machine... it is cheaper. that is what I did years ago, the PCs look cheaper b/c they are advertising really minimal machines... once you upgrade memory and graphics, etc... you end up costing more than a Mac
10:04 am
kje
and laptops are awesome, no matter which kind... FREEDOM
10:04 am
flosey
we're looking for one, think I'll wait until I'm in Toronto and son can help me
10:04 am
mom2han8
Well I agree... but he has to come to that realization himself.... a little psychology on my part! But, yes, I agree that I want the freedom!
10:05 am
mom2han8
It's always good to get advice from one who knows flosey.
10:05 am
flosey
he understands them and also knows what his old mom is capable of understanding
10:05 am
mom2han8
I use my brother in law for that kind of thing... I just have to get him on the Apple bandwagon before my husband talks to him, LOL!
10:06 am
mom2han8
We bought my 85-year-old mother-in-law a Mac and she loves it!
10:06 am

EvaNadine

12:28 pm
joshuavorbis
it might look like it's close, but in actuality it's hours of driving
12:28 pm
EvaNadine
guess that prevents a babble meet-up, then...heh
12:29 pm
BzznBea
Probaby.
12:29 pm
BzznBea
It's three hours from RDU.

im envious of her lifestyle. youre a darn good parent to the lounging kitty + the beach-dwelling Hobbit. ;)
12:39 pm
Atalante
I try! I'd love to be her as well. Perfect life!
12:40 pm
Atalante
Hobbit's had a wonderful week this week. The weather has been gorgeous, so we've spent esach morning down at the beach for a few hours
12:41 pm
EvaNadine
my parents live on the waterfront now also...before their dog passed, she LOVED running along the shore. i wish i were closer to the beach!
12:42 pm
Atalante
beaches are the best for dogs. every day I see people walking along the path at the top of the beach with their dog on a leash, and it's so sad. It takes 5 minutes to wash a dog off after its rolled around the beach!
12:44 pm
BzznBea
ST7/28, please?
12:44 pm
EvaNadine
our dog , Domino, never even rolled. in fact, she was kind of afraid of the water. but she loved walking along the sand + poking around the shells, stones + whatever else she could find...
and i loved walking her there whenever i visited because i would just browse around for seaglass...
12:45 pm
Atalante
exactly ... there's just so much for a dog to love on the beach. sniffs, smells, rockpools, crabs, sea ...
12:46 pm
EvaNadine
we are headed down there this weekend.
my brother will bring his dog, but shes too much of a powerhouse for me -- pitbull rottie mix. sweet dog, but huge + too energetic!
12:46 pm
Atalante
eeep yes!
12:49 pm
Atalante
we met a newfie on the beach yesterday. hobbit was quite amazed that a dog could be so big
12:50 pm
EvaNadine
i saw, i think it was a great dane? whatever it was, it was by FAR the largest dog i have ever seen. on all fours, its back was almost as high as my shoulders.
i thought it was a small horse!
12:50 pm
Atalante
sounds like a great dane! they are HUGE
12:51 pm
EvaNadine
i knew they were big, but i guess i never actually saw one. WOW.
12:51 pm
Atalante
yeah .... they are quite a sight
12:52 pm
magazinemom
just popping in- a friend of mine had a great dane when we were little and her dad would hold us up over his back like we were pretending to ride him and it was like being on a pony
12:53 pm
magazinemom
he was enormous and for some odd reason I remember that his name was Frederick
12:53 pm
Atalante
which is bigger - great dane or one of the huge huge mastiffs?
12:54 pm
magazinemom
not sure Ata, those mastiffs are BIG dogs
12:54 pm
EvaNadine
i cant imagien another dog being larger than the one i saw!
good gracious!
12:54 pm
Atalante
I once came across 3 of them in a pack - the only time I've ever felt a little bit scared of dogs
12:54 pm
Gail
Irish Wolfhounds can be bigger than great danes.
12:55 pm
magazinemom
I will stick with my shepherd/collie mix. She's my love.
12:55 pm
Gail
My border collie is my best boy ever.
12:55 pm
EvaNadine
same here, ata -- im not the least bit afraid of dogs, but when i saw that one, i backed away slowly...lol
12:55 pm
magazinemom
I've seen the Irish Wolfhounds on the dog shows on TV and figured they were quite large.
12:56 pm

My Blossom is a rescue dog and she is, literally, the best dog I have ever had. I wish I wasn't landlocked. She would love a good ball game on the beach :-)
12:57 pm

robbie09
st7=st4 past tense
12:57 pm
Gail
I got my Quid as a rescue dog, too.
12:58 pm
magazinemom
Gail- I thin sometimes rescue dogs are just more appreciative because they sense that things might not have worked out too well for them otherwise :-)
12:59 pm
magazinemom
The best thing about her though is that she guards my kids like they were her children. She spends the whole night patrolling back and forth between their bedrooms.
1:00 pm
Gail
Quid is just the happiest thing ever. He wakes up happy and goes to sleep happy. (Keeps me happy, too.)
1:00 pm

1:32 pm
Uniquity
It's true. More wonderful is the fact that my French exam took half as long as anticipated. I am so ready for a nap!
1:33 pm
EvaNadine
nap on your book. learn by osmosis.
1:33 pm
Atalante
lol good idea
1:33 pm
Uniquity

EvaNadine
well, there ya go! i like to say i received my BA in BS. :)
1:36 pm
Uniquity
:) CanLit isn't that hard, it is just frustrating to wait for essay exams. Hard to prepare for.
1:37 pm
Uniquity
And I already wrote an exam today. I am tired.
1:37 pm
EvaNadine
yes, its tough to prepare for an exam where you just hafta write an essay on an unknown question.
just make sure you know your dates + general government/political/social stuff.
1:37 pm
Atalante
I got mine in scientific BS
1:37 pm
EvaNadine
(and yes, "stuff" is a technical term.)
1:38 pm
Uniquity
Yours came with a title though :)
1:39 pm

1:40 pm
Uniquity
Ahh, that was not in stuff then

1:42 pm

Do we even know how barnacles reproduce?? You should have written a theoretical on the colossal squid.
1:42 pm
EvaNadine
hah, thanks uni -- i didnt have those yet, and was figuring with those letter combos that there would be some francais in there!
1:43 pm
Atalante

1:54 pm
Uniquity
Look in the grid of tiles on the left and search out words that are four or more letters, made of connecting (but not repeated) tiles. Similar to boggle.
Further helpis available from Angelsongs babble page (found below the grid) and the help icon above chat.
1:54 pm
EvaNadine
Shan -- words must be at least 4 letters long, tiles must be touching, and you can use each tile only once per word.
1:55 pm
Uniquity

we are all wrong the law was amended to The Act was amended in 1910 to restrict building height to the width of the adjacent street plus 20 feet
7:53 pm

??? strange law...
7:53 pm

though that's from ground level - the National cathedral is up on a high hill, and it's tower is further above sea level than the capital dome
7:53 pm

width of the street + 20 feet .... hmmmm is that in case it topples over+
