Ok, I'm going to admit I don't know what/where that is and claim it's because I'm so stinking far south in this wonderful state of ours, Stid.
12:27 am
jillibus
I've had msnbc on -- very distracting.
12:27 am
Pinikula
how far south are ya?
12:27 am
stidmama
Powell's is the BIG bookstore in Portland, mcurl! AND the rare book room (went with Mother a few weeks back) is REALLY amazing.
12:27 am
jillibus
that's my excuse for a lame brain
12:28 am
stidmama
I hadn't been there before, but I think it may be my favorite place now, mostly because things are so insanely expensive that I saved a lot of money spending all my time there! LOL
12:28 am
Pinikula
too funny, stid ;)
12:28 am
stidmama
HALFWAY!!!
12:29 am

No, not really okay, but I will be okay. Boyh of my kids eventualy grew up and I had begun to settle back and wait for Grandmotherdom. Then, EEK! I was presented with a screwed up 14-year-old who loves me, but I'm not her Mum. Eaarly mornings, packed lunches to go to school, nagging a teenager again. Wasn't expecting that but I'm going to get it.,

1:15 am

I'mnot a saint., I m a rockmusic loving 'sinner'! But I'm a faithful partner and mother.

He's obvously not a druggie like the last one was. He turns up before school, doesn't get his Mum to do the deliveriesmore than twice a week, and actually delivers the right paper, sees we areall asleep adnd so quietly delivers it into the porch rather than through the letterbox AND closesthe dor quietly behind him.
1:37 am
rbud
now that's a pretty good paperboy!
1:37 am
Jacula
I must check what his name is and make sre I tip him at Xmas, if he's still working there.
1:38 am

lol, that brings back memories, my son must have got a puncture in his bike tyres every single day when he did the paper round. I was always ferrying him around in the early morning frost
1:39 am

same here, our daughter had a route, "ewww, Mom, too cold, can you drive me?" lol!

Though my heart broke when, as a 9 year old, he knocked on the door at about 6.30am dripping wet with rain and crying. It was only his second day out. But he bravely refused help and went back out to it. His first purchase was a toy gun! so much for never giving him one as a small child
1:42 am
Jacula
The one's that screeech up the drive on over pumped up bike tiress, whilst yelling into the mouthpiee of their bluetooth phones, then yanking open the porch dor and lobbing the paper in, and then not quite shutting the porch door properly, so it bangs to and fro in the wind, qare the worst kind.

Boy next door to me when I was growing up, was a bit younger than me but wanted a veg patch to tend and water jike mine, He set some seeedling up on the knotty roots of he oak tree at the top of his garden abd peed on them to water them.
1:47 am
rbud
bet that didn't work, huh? ;p
1:47 am
lynxxx
rofl...didn't anyone tell him that only works on lemon trees
1:47 am
Jacula
Which reminds me of what my Godfather said about his time in a Japanese POW - they were meantto look after the veg patches for the soldiers. They ped on them to water them.
1:48 am
rbud
small victories, ha!
1:48 am
lynxxx
Where was the camp Jac?
1:49 am
Jacula
Water was free then, so all his Mum and Dad had to do was give him a watering can to fill. Mine didm his didn't.
1:50 am
Jacula
lynxxx - I don't know. He never rsaid anything about it really..
1:51 am
Jacula
I've never tried looking his war record up on the net. Maybe I should? Reginald Symonds.
1:53 am
Jacula
Ut doesn't sound like a hero's name, does it? But I think he was. I know he got my Dad through a lot and taught him how to build and make stuff for hs home and family.
1:57 am
lynxxx
He was your Dad's mate because of the War?
2:01 am
VolleymomDee
has anyone seen huga?
2:01 am
Jacula
No! He went through the war got a house and found my Dad (had been a soldier in the REME BUT TOO YOUNG FOR ww2) NEXT DOOR TO HIM. They were neighbours abd then friends.
2:02 am
rbud
not lately, Dee.
2:03 am
VolleymomDee
I have been worried about her
2:04 am
lynxxx
was something happening Volley?
2:04 am
Jacula
I lovedmy Godfather next door. I had another Godfather, as the Chruch required, that lived next door but one to my Reg. He never took any interest in me, and neither did his wife ,m who was my gGodmother.
2:04 am
rbud
had she said anything about being gone for a bit? I thought maybe she did, but not sure.
2:04 am
VolleymomDee
not that I remember, which is why I was worried about her
2:05 am
VolleymomDee
I sure hope so rbud; if you see her before I do, please tell her I was thinking of her
2:05 am
lynxxx
Worrying when people go AWOL. Sandy from West Aust has not been on of late eiuther
2:05 am
rbud
will do, Dee.
2:06 am
VolleymomDee
I totally understand the feeling lynxx
2:06 am
Jacula
Norman and Marian, my Godmother and Giddfather, who lived next door but one to my Godfather, Reg, and his wife Ruth, who weere my 2nd Mum and Dad, were flatesmates in the same house as my parents lived in when they first married and had me.
2:07 am

I took Bisky to get groomed yesterday and they had day-old kittens there. They rescued them from a feral cat
6:01 am
Scrabbler
How sweet! I miss those stray kittens that I befriended over the weekend, but at least I know they will be rescued.
6:02 am
Scrabbler
Is Bisky happy and comfortable despite having cardiac problems?
6:02 am
bichon
The groomer was feeding them every two hours! Not for me.
6:03 am
bichon
Actually Scrabs [and thanks for asking] I was shocked to find out this as he is a very active dog. We go on hikes and he has no problem
6:03 am
Scrabbler
It is a lot of work to rescue animals, especially babies.
6:03 am
Scrabbler
Yay for Bisky. Keep him happy! My old girl, Bunny Callie died a year ago May 10th. She had a great life.
6:04 am

Bisky's dad lived a long time too [not our dog]. He's our last dog so I want to keep him as long as we can

With all of your outdoor activities Scrabbler, do you have a favorite brand of trail food?
6:10 am
metaleather
I'm looking into dehydrated and/or freeze-dried foods for long term storage
6:11 am
Scrabbler
Not really. I pack snacks--nuts, energy bars. I don't camp out overnight so I do not buy the dehydrated stuff. For day camping/cooking we pack what we want.

6:26 am
mrpresident
hi crossy :)
6:26 am
Scrabbler
Dreams are fascinating, especially lucid dreaming. Now for me,I slept very poorly last night--maybe 3-4 hrs total.
6:26 am
hurshy
it's funny how dreams can often affect your emotions more than real things that happen.
6:27 am
mrpresident
hi scrabbs!
6:27 am
hurshy
i'm sorry you didn't sleep well :(
6:27 am

I personally never have very good dreams, they always involve not good things.
6:27 am
Scrabbler
Dreams help us to solve problems, although not always consciously.
6:28 am
Scrabbler
I had a very busy day yesterday, including a 4 hr mtg of the office docs, so there was too much in my head.
6:28 am
redturtlehead
This grid is a bit more nice that yesterdays.
6:28 am
bichon
I often see my dad in my dreams. A good thing. Then there's the dreams when I'm unclad in public
6:28 am
hurshy
i used to have terrible ones, in addition to regular ones, but since getting on the clonaz i don't have the really horrid ones anymore.
6:28 am
Scrabbler
I kept reviewing the mtg, thinking of what was said
6:29 am
Scrabbler
Public nudity, Bichon? Do you feel a need to express yourself publically?
6:29 am
bichon
I often have redundant ones. Really ridiculous
6:29 am
redturtlehead
I have the same dream often, either I am being chased by Indians through my home town....not very scary any more...
6:29 am
bichon
I don't know about that, but it is silly
6:29 am
crosshair
i dremt that i had a bunch of pet baby frogs,and there was this red bird that hid tween my toes and when i wasnt looking,he/she would eat one of the baby frogs and go back to hiding tween my toes:/:)..mm dont know if i was neeked at the time:)
6:29 am
Scrabbler
I have repeated dreams too--same places.
6:29 am
redturtlehead
Or I dream that I am sleeping at the Hospital and some patient is not doing well and I am unable to ambulate to the patient.
6:30 am
bichon
I dream that we sell our current house and move back to our old one. Really silly as we didn't have a dishwasher in our old one
6:30 am
hurshy
i have silly ones too - one in which i escaped from a dormitory on fire, then rolled down a hill of spaghetti to reach my family and inform them that i had gotten out all right.
6:30 am
Scrabbler
I still have high school dreams--cannot remember combination of lock, cannot open locker, or not being ready for an exam.
6:30 am
hurshy
no dishwasher! nightmare!
6:30 am
redturtlehead
Interesting Bichon, dream that into reality for my home. Please.
6:31 am

Or where I have parked the car
6:31 am

A hill of spaghetti?

a hill of spaghetti.
6:31 am

what sauce did you use?
6:31 am

I would love a hill of spaghetti.
6:31 am
Scrabbler
I also dream that I have been sent back to med school to re-take a course and no one cares that I have been practicing for 20 yrs.
6:31 am
hurshy
standard marinara sauce was involved.
6:31 am
redturtlehead
But it would be messy...
6:31 am

Only if it's linguini
6:32 am
Scrabbler
Haha, crossy & hurshy
6:32 am

Bisky has urgent needs poof
6:32 am

yeah, sc, sometimes i dream that i have to go back and re-do senior year of HS, even though i have college degree. is odd.
6:32 am
Scrabbler
And I urgently need to shower and leave.
6:33 am
crosshair
i have this dream of bunny bacon sammies:)

8:14 am
Trifioso
one of the e's is e + right away
8:14 am
mom2han8
the in 6 and 7 are the same as the en 6 & 7... think what animals are kept in at the zoo with the two different beginnings and then add the past tenses for both and you will have all 4.
8:14 am
Anniebrook
en + to enclose
8:14 am
Trifioso
whoo! thanks mom2!
8:15 am
EvaNadine
TY, hadnt even seen the enclosure...its a blind kinda morning...
8:16 am

8:51 am
Pinikula

8:52 am
mom2han8
I think there is only one ow word.
8:52 am
aslindy
where do you see nbs?
8:52 am
Pinikula
ow4/8 = bird (night, barn, big eyes)

Hi Hazel, just came in for a bit before I run out to do grocery shopping
11:06 am
Haz1558
Thanks for asking, Annie, it helped me!
11:07 am
Haz1558
Grocery shopping - the dread of my week. How are you?
11:07 am
Anniebrook
I am doing okay...and you and dear Spangle?
11:07 am

Atalante
Fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii! Haz! Annieeeeeeeeeeeeee!! TOOOOOO!
11:09 am
Haz1558
Here's FM as well!
11:09 am

George Clooney had better not log on now or we're doomed.
11:10 am
Anniebrook
Ah, FM is here!!!!!!
11:10 am
FMitch
LOL Ata has OD's on punctuation, oh my!
11:10 am
72 Temple Owl
LOl just out of 4 hour lecture on reverse supply chains, wh ich apparently are new to the EU.
11:10 am
72 Temple Owl
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYY
YY!
11:10 am
Atalante
I'm allowed to. You're all here!!!
11:10 am
FMitch
((Annie)) long time hun :)
11:10 am
Haz1558
Reverse supply chains - you must explain to us poor European ignoramuses.
11:11 am
Anniebrook
As much as I am enjoying this lunacy I must go food shopping. Bye, my dear babblers
11:11 am
FMitch
LOL TO schools out!
11:11 am
Atalante
how are your half-naked men, FM?
11:11 am
72 Temple Owl
LOl and britain will be the first as it was told
11:11 am
FMitch
*lip quiver* was it something I said??? *sob*
11:11 am
Haz1558
Bye Annie (remind me to get Annie looked at soon. She prefers grocery shopping to chatting with us)
11:12 am
72 Temple Owl
*chokes on pizza* fm has half naked men> why not all naked?
11:12 am
Haz1558
So what's going to happen, TO? What's going to go into reverse?
11:12 am
Haz1558
FM has standards.
11:12 am
Haz1558
She lives in As5.
11:12 am
FMitch
I am very happy to report that they are not using the scaffold tower outside my window to access the roof.
11:12 am
Haz1558
What are they doing instead?
11:13 am
72 Temple Owl
well it is a concept completely foreign to us. anow you can vailidate if the prof knows his stuff or is bullling us
11:13 am
FMitch
Using the one by the front dorr so they can flaunt toeverone that comes and goes
11:13 am
72 Temple Owl
ooh iMUST get that new roof soon !;)
11:13 am
Atalante
I've certainly heard of reverse supply chain things
11:13 am
Haz1558
I hate men that flaunt. So unbecoming.
11:14 am
FMitch
TO believe me, these 'men' are not worthy of you
11:14 am
Haz1558
Trust Ata! Who else in Britain would have heard of reverse supply thingies? No wonder she's smug.
11:14 am
FMitch
Even their wolf whistles are slightly out of tune *sheesh*
11:14 am
72 Temple Owl
well appaentlt the concept of retail returns like we have here is not practicied, here, if you buiy somehting and it does not work you return to the retailer. also if you buy something you can change your mind and return for any reason w/-in a certain number of days.
11:15 am
Atalante
like Coca-Cola picking up used bottles and recycling them etc
11:15 am
Haz1558
So it's more of the retailer being of service to the consumer?
11:15 am
72 Temple Owl
BUT with the intro of big box retailers into EU, like our Best Buys and others, the concept will come with them
11:15 am
FMitch
To really? we have been able to do that over here for ages.
11:16 am
72 Temple Owl
aHA!!! got him!
11:16 am
Haz1558
Has TO shot someone?
11:16 am
72 Temple Owl
he said in belgium he could not. the thing does not work, take it up with the guy who makes it.
11:17 am
Atalante
I *think* basically it's literally handling the reverse supply chain (well duh!) so anything that goes from the consumer to the retailer and / or the producer. and the dynamics and economics of that
11:18 am
72 Temple Owl
LOL no go thte prof dead to rights, his info a tad outdated. I mean , no retail returns. as if you are uncivilized.
11:18 am
Haz1558
In general, under the Trades Description Act or something, you can return goods if they are faulty, or not according to description or not up to standard. Some retailers will let you return stuff as long as it hasn't been worn, just because you change your mind.
11:18 am
FMitch
Belgium might be a seperate case but their chocolates make up for everything.
11:18 am
Haz1558
Marks and Spencer has been to the forefront of making it easy for people to return things.
11:19 am
spanner
I think it has to be fit for the purpose for which it was sold..
11:19 am
Atalante
M&S made it an art form
11:19 am
72 Temple Owl
but if you just change your mind?
11:19 am
Haz1558
True, FM, you can't criticise anything about Belgium. Not when they created those chocolate shells.
11:19 am
Atalante
then it depends on the seller
11:20 am
72 Temple Owl
do you mean guylian?
11:20 am
Atalante
they don't have any obligation to take it back, but a lot will
11:20 am
FMitch
eew that was not quite what I was thinking HAz
11:20 am
Haz1558
Yes, TO, if you just change your mind. You can buy stuff in Marks and Spencer, try it on at home if you want and return it within 6 months, no problem.
11:20 am
spanner
Depends on retailer. Though for good will some will give credit note but not refund
11:20 am
Haz1558
The ones, TO.
11:20 am
FMitch
Hi spanner
11:21 am
spanner
Hi all. Just popped by for 10
11:21 am
Haz1558
So, just saunter past that prof and whisper three words. marks And Spencer.
11:21 am
72 Temple Owl
sorry all we see that brnad continually in dicounters, but have no frame of reference to know if good or bad.
11:21 am
Atalante
and amazon are pretty good too
11:21 am
spanner
I find lately I play the grid less and watch the chat more LOL
11:22 am
Haz1558
You mean you've turned into an interested observer, spanner?
11:22 am
FMitch
Nice to see you then spanner :)
11:22 am
72 Temple Owl
and he will say i said ( ) and ( ) were beginning to do that...i just cannot remember the parent company names
11:22 am
72 Temple Owl
meaning ow4+1 cannot remember
11:23 am
FMitch
well let us know if you need any help with your 'homework' then T *grin*
11:23 am
Haz1558
I wonder what he would make of the old-fashioned custom over here (in Ballymena)? If you're a long-standing customer in some clothes shops, they're willing to let you take out quantities of stuff 'on approbation'. No money changes hands until you've made up your mind.
11:23 am
72 Temple Owl
no homework. gradutaion today! then baseball game tomorrow afternoon!
11:24 am
spanner
Oh b*gger. Got to go - my mother has thrown up over dog
11:24 am
FMitch
Oh well yay then!!!
11:24 am
Atalante
wow. that's usually the other way round/
11:24 am
Haz1558
Poor dog. Poor mother. Poor spanner.
11:24 am
72 Temple Owl
oh my, spanner
11:25 am
Haz1558
Anybody any tips on how to clean up dog?
11:25 am
Atalante
Hobbit is a smug dog. She had a pack of cocktail sausages from M&S for breakfast yesterday
11:25 am
Haz1558
Was Hobbit supposed to have said cocktail sausages?
11:26 am
Atalante
yep! I was on my way home from sister's, and needed to get her some breakfast ...
11:26 am
72 Temple Owl
left i is taunting me
11:26 am
sammysmom
no clues today ?? wahhhhhhhhhh!!!
11:27 am
Haz1558
I'm sure she was grateful, Ata. Poor Spangle gets leftover sausages only.
11:27 am
72 Temple Owl
oooh nice breakfast.
11:27 am
Atalante
so does Hobbit normally!
11:27 am
FMitch
umm sammysmom licketys clues are up.
11:28 am
72 Temple Owl
is she sparkling now?
11:28 am
Haz1558
TO, think of enclosed animals for two of those i.
11:28 am
FMitch
Have been since the flip, you might need to clear you cache or refresh.
11:28 am
72 Temple Owl
ty
11:28 am
Atalante
she was certainly grateful and very drooly!
11:31 am
72 Temple Owl
haz my icons are groundhogs. but much nicer looking than your average.
11:31 am
sammysmom
tried redoing the lickety list and it stil comes up as uyesterdays;s hmmmmmmm
11:31 am
Haz1558
Yes, I treasure your description of groundhogs as being big waddly things with big teeth.
11:32 am
Atalante
isn't that a spaniel?
11:32 am
72 Temple Owl
if they are not o none's yard, they make one laugh out loud.
11:32 am
Haz1558
Are they noisy things?
11:32 am
FMitch
TO your typing is getting as bad as mine usually is!
11:33 am
Haz1558
I still think they have a way to go before they can match the warthog for ugliness.
11:33 am
Atalante
blame FM, TO
11:33 am
Atalante
and baboon bottoms
11:33 am
FMitch
Oh thank you ATa! Thought I had finally managed to get rid of that mill stone!
11:34 am
Atalante
and naked mole rats
11:34 am
Haz1558
Yes, that FM is a one. First she flaunts her workmen, then she criticises your typing.
11:34 am
Atalante
hahahaha AS IF!!!!!!
11:34 am
72 Temple Owl
no. they chirrup at times and they whistle when threatened.
11:34 am
Haz1558
Whistle when threatened? That sounds like old fashioned British policemen.
11:35 am
72 Temple Owl
lol
11:35 am
Haz1558
'Being beaten up here. Best blow my whistle'
11:35 am
FMitch
I never flaunted THE workmen, in fact I abhored them!
If the had been half way decent I would have kept them for myself.
11:35 am
Atalante
I had 3 half naked workmen, of which 1 was presentable
11:36 am
Haz1558
I'm worried that FM may be too choosy. She's rejected every courier I've ever sent and now British workmen, the pride of our nation, the backbone of the workforce, are rejected as well.
11:36 am
Haz1558
I wonder what she'd say if Peter Andre turned up?
11:37 am
Atalante
hopefully she'd run
11:37 am
72 Temple Owl
careful or evaN will show up and talk about crack. and i don't mean the drug.
11:37 am
Haz1558
I don't know. Would you not shelter him from the pursuing press, FM?
11:37 am
72 Temple Owl
:D
11:38 am
Atalante
I'd not shelter him. I'd shelter Jordan, cos I'd get more for the story
11:38 am
72 Temple Owl
that WAS her fav peeps remember the plumber? evaN: love ya
11:38 am
Haz1558
FM is either answering the phone or checking that one of the workmen isn't Peter Andre.
11:39 am
Atalante
or fainted at the sight of Mr Andre
11:39 am
Haz1558
Is she lurking, TO? Or can we speak freely?
11:40 am
72 Temple Owl
ok i have 47 to go but they will not be done until thi sevening, maybe. have fun all! nice to see you.
11:40 am
Atalante
bye TO!
11:40 am
Atalante
so who will get kicked out tonight, Haz?
11:40 am
Haz1558
Nice to see you as well, TO - and tell the prof that your European contacts are far better sources of information than him.
11:40 am
Haz1558
Apart from FM kicking out Peter Andre?
11:41 am
72 Temple Owl
no she is hvaing her portrait done no doubt! ooohe she will kill me for that little joke!
11:41 am
FMitch
Sorry, had some emails I had to attend to. Peter Andre does not do it for me.Just call me very choosy.
11:41 am
Haz1558
I want rid of Debra.
11:41 am
Atalante
I suppose Ben should stay in for hatred value
11:41 am
Haz1558
And Ben, of course, if only to restore some pride.
11:41 am
72 Temple Owl
ooh is it you version of survivor?
11:41 am
Atalante
The Apprentice
11:42 am
Haz1558
Mind you, we had English visitors a week or so ago who didn't realise that Ben was from here.
11:42 am
Haz1558
It's The Apprentice, TO, British style. The greatest collection of headcases you've ever seen.
11:42 am
72 Temple Owl
oh our is over. joan won. she should have fired her when she left no fair.
11:43 am
Haz1558
Joan being Joan 'I cannot move my face' Rivers?
11:43 am
72 Temple Owl
i mean you can't just QUIT then decide to come back.
11:43 am
72 Temple Owl
yep
11:43 am
FMitch
OH I see I am going to have to watch tonight just to keep up!
11:43 am
Haz1558
No, it's against all the laws of reverse supply chains, isn't it? Leaving and then coming back.
11:44 am
72 Temple Owl
ooh fm are you all ag5/22 after viewing workmen?
11:44 am
Atalante
I *loved* Nick last week when he just said "Pantsman?"
11:44 am
Haz1558
Do you think 'attending to e-mails' is a cover story, TO?
11:45 am
72 Temple Owl
sounds dubious to me.
11:45 am
Haz1558
Absolutely, Ata. Have you seen the spoof legomen versions of the Apprentice on youtube?
11:45 am
Atalante
oooooo no! I will go and look later
11:46 am
Haz1558
I'll try to find them later for you.
11:46 am
72 Temple Owl
count me out. no mor spoof of brit tv for me. :/
11:46 am
FMitch
I would wish to be TO if they were worth getting all ag5 about
11:46 am
Haz1558
Wouldn't you know it? Husband arrived home and nothing ready for tea. He SAID he was going to be late.
11:46 am
72 Temple Owl
uh oh...
11:47 am
Haz1558
I'd better get something cooking. Back later!
11:47 am
Atalante
typical!
11:47 am
72 Temple Owl
is tea a snack?
11:47 am
Haz1558
No, it's a meal.
11:47 am
Atalante
tea is tea, high tea or dinner depending on time!
11:48 am
72 Temple Owl
oh. last meal of day?
11:48 am
Atalante
most likely
11:48 am
FMitch
*waves forlornly at HAz wooshing off to the kitchen*
11:48 am
72 Temple Owl
ok must go- bye---*poof*
11:49 am
Atalante
you must smell, FM :)
11:49 am
FMitch
t's you dear but I didn't know how to tell you :)
11:49 am
72 Temple Owl
*waves back to fm and ata*
11:50 am
Atalante
can't be. I'm smug.
11:50 am
FMitch
Exactly!! Too much smug causes a fugg
11:51 am
Atalante
granddad never had a problem!
11:51 am
Haz1558
Have you never heard of 'Albert's Aroma?'
11:52 am
Haz1558
5 minute reprieve....
11:52 am
Atalante
brb hobbit wants to go out
11:52 am
FMitch
'Albert's Aroma?
11:53 am
Haz1558
Yes, the smell of grandad.
11:53 am
Haz1558
Since we all know that Einstein was Ata's grandfather.
11:54 am
FMitch
Oh in which case we should bottle it and sell it for a fortune!
11:54 am
Haz1558
The only problem is that I think these celebrity perfumes have maybe had their day.
11:55 am
Haz1558
And I may be wrong but marketing 'Albert's Aroma' might be difficult.
11:56 am
FMitch
The smell of Libraries and brains? The hint of the IQ and the intellectual behind the ears?
11:56 am
Haz1558
Yes, exactly.
11:57 am
Haz1558
We'd be running the risk of not fulfilling the promise if we said it would make you brainy.
11:57 am
FMitch
LOL and on that note I must away to the sparking kitchen for dinner.
TTFN and Happy Babbling.
11:58 am
Haz1558
Sparking kitchen?
11:58 am
Atalante
outrageous. hobbit wanted food. she had sausages only yesterday!
11:58 am
Atalante
don't turn the gas on!
11:58 am
Haz1558
You've spoiled that dog, Ata.
11:58 am
FMitch
OK sparkling - :)
11:59 am
Haz1558
That's better. It would be a shame if sparking led to the sparkling kitchen going on fire.
11:59 am
Haz1558
Enjoy dinner, FM!
11:59 am
Atalante
at least she has men outside to help her
11:59 am
FMitch
:) *poof*
12:00 pm
Atalante
D turned up early the other evening
12:00 pm
Haz1558
Or is she angling to be rescued by firemen?
12:00 pm
Atalante
and when I hadn't factored him into dinner plans (cos he said he would be much later)
12:01 pm
Atalante
I got an hour long lecture about Jewish dinner traditions and then he stormed off after informing me I was completely hopeless!
12:01 pm
Haz1558
Stony silences ever since?
12:02 pm
Atalante
yep. until sister broke the car door.
12:02 pm
Atalante
then I got blamed for that too LOL
12:02 pm
Haz1558
Wasn't FM available?
12:03 pm
Atalante
obviously not. outrageous.
12:03 pm
Haz1558
You should complain.
12:04 pm
Atalante
she vanished just in time
12:04 pm
Haz1558
Well, five minute reprieve is over. I must head to the kitchen to rustle up something. Enjoy the Apprentice!
12:04 pm
Atalante
you too!

I guess the idea is to make something very new, leaving aside the old ideas of the franchise, which might be good, I guess
12:46 pm
Trifioso
tor, what age kids would you allow to see it?
12:46 pm

All but the smallest .. There's a lot of violence and action but I don't think any naughty language
12:47 pm
jessmom
I'm kind of curious about the movie, but I was a Next Generation fan, not the original
12:48 pm

Hello, Cheryl
12:48 pm
Trifioso
LOVE your icon, jess!
12:48 pm
redturtlehead
Well tri, just remind her that all the 12 yr old boys will be talking about it.
12:49 pm
stidmama
no naughty language? then what's the point? *sad face* seems most "popular" movies have to have bad language and a lot of sex and violence
12:49 pm
jessmom
Thanks tri!
12:49 pm
torgone
It's a lot of fun .. If you like action/science fiction type movies
12:49 pm
Trifioso
I don't think she talks to any of them either, red, and thank god.

okay tor, thanks. The kids are probably going to be with their dad this weekend, so I can take myself if I feel like it.
12:53 pm
redturtlehead
Oddly Studies have shown that children exposed to a lot of violence on tv and video games, demonstrate markedly less compassion. THis mkes me nervous.
12:53 pm
stidmama
that was one reason I let my kids watch star trek: most of the violence was not graphic, more implied. The standard phasar setting was always "stun"...
12:54 pm
Trifioso
BR, have you read the Golden Compass series? Your icon today reminds me of the last book
12:54 pm
stidmama
well then I must go and see kirk getting his butt kicked! LOL
12:54 pm
redturtlehead
Star Trek too was to boldly go and explore not go and conquer.
12:54 pm

actually, I DO have a really old atlas that belonged to my great great somebody, and it is amazing how different the maps look, from just 150 years or so ago. Maine didn't exist, for one thing, and Africa is largely one big unexplored green mass

1:07 pm
o-o
congrats, nrkii and stid
1:07 pm

cherlyq63
we have sales tax, income tax, gift taxes and then most states have taxes too
2:52 pm
jacq
we all pay too much tax, taxed on earnings, on spending, even the necessities, taxed on savings
2:52 pm
Soodle
Please - call me Bum!!! lol
2:52 pm
redturtlehead
No State tax in Fl and TexasI think?
2:52 pm
jacq
considering the stuation here with members of parliament claiming expenses they aren't entitled to it's a farce
2:53 pm
jacq
and hello everyone, couldn't not have my tuppence worth
2:53 pm
cherlyq63
no we dont pay state income tax here, just property taxes
2:53 pm
Soodle
Saw that on Sky news Jac....Mad!!!!
2:53 pm
magazinemom
no state income tax in TX, but property taxes are astronomical
2:53 pm
jacq
insane, totally, and i'll bet it's the same the world over
2:53 pm
jacq
we're talking hundreds of thousands of tax payers pounds every year
2:53 pm
jacq
and they are already overpaid
2:54 pm
cherlyq63
thats true mom and I just got my news will go up again this year
2:54 pm
redturtlehead
My least favorite thing in Fl, No state taxes, but they have these toll roads. up to 2.00 every few miles....I'd rather pay the income tax.
2:55 pm
jacq
we don't have many tolls , but apparently you get into Edinburgh for free but have to pay £4 to leave
2:55 pm
Soodle
Are those taxes new, Red? Was in Fl in 2000, went from Clearwater to Key West - Don't remember paying one toll....
2:55 pm
magazinemom
Oklahoma is full of toll roads and the GW Bush in Dallas is ridiculous. You pay a toll about every 3 feet
2:55 pm
redturtlehead
Mag mom, I drove hrough Oklahoma, and it was shocking about the tolls.
2:56 pm
cherlyq63
yeah avoid that road like a plague, when I have to go to the cities
2:56 pm
magazinemom
We refer to ourselves as the toll road state, which wouldn't be so bad if the roads weren't awful!
2:56 pm
redturtlehead
Soodle, you may have driven on interstates, but if you live in orlando and want to drive ona decent road and get somewhere on time...you'll pay tolls. its more of a local thing.
2:57 pm
lynxxx
We've just started having tolls here, to pay for new highways...they say they will eventually come off but....
2:57 pm
Soodle
Hey. Come to Ireland. You could lose your car in a pot-hole, and nobody would find you for weeks. And then they have the gall to charge us road tax.
2:57 pm
cherlyq63
went through ok to get son from arkansas, my friend kept asking me if we had a flat
2:57 pm
magazinemom
they say taht lynxx, but they neer go away...they always find something else that needs doind so they can keep the tolls
2:57 pm
redturtlehead

Soodle, I've been pro (paid member) for so long, I don't remember if you can see the archives as a free player - it helps to read over some of the archived chat logs from previous puzzle days to get an idea of the lingo and culture.
