Must be very frustrating to has to rebuild so often.
7:58 am

By the end of today I should have some idea of the request for repairs. I am acting normal, but showing a lot fo signs of anxiety...misplacing things, forgetting my work schedule, forgetting things...eating odd things a whole avacado, very yummy.

Thomas Malthus was an economist whose work influenced Darwin. Malthus observed that babies were being born at a faster rate than people were dying. If the human population continued to increase at that rate, there wouldn’t be enough food or living space. The only conditions that could prevent endless growth were famine, disease, and war. These observations were called the Malthusian Doctrine.
8:08 am
jmcnrick
I just read--that is terrible. People forget how often journalist pay a terrible price to keep us informed
8:08 am
jmcnrick
Journalist literally fight and die for our freedom
8:08 am
jmcnrick
and without a gun
8:09 am
robbie09
BR I think that we have those checks to the population going!
8:10 am
o-o
As horrible as famine, disease and war are, they are inadequate to stem population growth.
8:11 am
robbie09
wow, I did not know that about the journalists. How sad.
8:12 am
o-o
Malthus put two mice in a box. The food and space were constants. The population grew. Eventually starving mice were cannibalizing each other to survive.
8:12 am
jmcnrick
okay I am more than half I think I will save the rest for later
8:13 am
jmcnrick
Big meat eater that I am I think I will pass on cannibalization BR!
8:13 am
jmcnrick
bbl *poof*
8:13 am
o-o
Have a good day.
8:19 am
robbie09
(Sorry about his mice in his experiment but....in times of great abundance of food, animals proliferate at a greater rate in nature) Anyway, I beleive people have souls.There are many souls that need to come down to Earth and gain bodies.

11:33 am
pugmama763
this was a very easy one to boot
11:33 am
MetFan
It conspired on me, too. All the coffee all day made me fall out 5 min before flip, slept until 6 this morning in the chair, then another 4 hrs in bed.
11:34 am
MetFan
To add insult to injury, the server's been clogged all day so far. If I try tom enter too many words too quickly, I get the red bar, and to top it all off, I couldn't copy & paste my list into the clue list!
11:34 am
pugmama763
I had the firehouse siren go off twice during the night + doogies freaked out about something at one point Then a phone call IId been waiting for early...
11:35 am
pugmama763

11:38 am
MetFan

Dottie
Hi Min, and thank you.
9:20 pm
Dottie
thanks pinik...lol...i c it now
9:20 pm
Jacula
These days, apart from being a derogative term (yet another based on a word for female genitalia) it can also mean to hit , thump or lay low.
9:21 pm
Jacula
Just like 'cool' means, 'Actualy that's really interesting! It's hot.' LOL
9:22 pm
Jacula
....And 'OKAY?' said at the end of a telling-off really means, no, it's not okay at all!
9:23 pm
Dottie
lol Jac...& ty u 2!
9:23 pm
Pinikula
you're on point tonight, jac!
9:23 pm
Jacula
Oh, and 'mint!' doesn't refer to money, Trebors or Polos anymore - it means 'really, really good'.
9:25 pm
Pinikula
what about "sup?" doesn't mean eat anymore...slang for What's going on?
9:27 pm
Jacula
I moan at teens all the time for mangled the language, but, there again, they're just doing their own thing and turning it on its head to make it their own, as has always happened. Eventually, their grandchildren will be using MY version of English. LOL. That's what I love about our language, the fact that it's so versatile.
9:28 pm
Pinikula
kind of like "what goes around, comes around" sorta thing...like clothing, there's classic to retro to classic to retro, etc.
9:29 pm
Jacula
Dimunition of wassup? (from what's up?', Pink. 'Sup never meant to eat out here in UK. 'Sup' means to drink ale.
9:29 pm
Pinikula
Oh, and then there's propper English and American English...they are not the same even if close...
9:29 pm
Pinikula
sup = to consume? :-)
9:30 pm
Pinikula
I'll have to go look that one up...
9:31 pm
Jacula
Pink - UK and US English are worlds apart. Being a stilted Welsh and Latin and Spanish speaker, I can often make more sense out of those languages than I can the US. I must watch more American TV. I learned Aborginal and Strine from watching Aussie TV!
9:32 pm
jmcnrick
sup=to eat supper
9:32 pm
Pinikula
Jac, and I have to try to avoid watching too much for fear they'll slang so much even I won't know what people are saying over here! LOL
9:33 pm
Pinikula
she sneeks in and sneeks out...a hit and run!
9:33 pm
Pinikula
go cub go
9:33 pm
Pinikula
gads, that doesn't look right (sneeks or sneaks)...
9:34 pm
Pinikula
I'm going crazy!
9:34 pm
Jacula
JMC - that is the dictionary's censored version of what 'supper' was. When the working man came out of the pit or the salt mine he haad to slake his thirst and 'line his stomach' - so his first evening meal (remembering that ale was once thought of as a meal rather than a drink) was a beer of 12 in the pub before going home for bread and gruel.

I've lost track of the number of GOOnights that have been wished to others on here and on other sites by the tired, drunk, dispossessed, disgruntled etc. LOL

It's one of the maor typing errors next to typing Dead Sir rather than Dear Sir on business letters.
9:45 pm

now, that one is priceless, jac! LOL

9:48 pm
Pinikula
wtg cub!
9:48 pm
Jacula
Welll done, cub.
9:49 pm
Jacula
Pink - I assume Koda is a dog who wants a walk and so you will comply, rather than Koda being a man, making unwanted demands who you are intending to murder?
9:50 pm
Jacula
'Take him out' - another way the language gas been changed. it often means to kill someone now.
9:51 pm
Jacula
Or at least render them incapable.
9:52 pm
Jacula
Opening your mouth to speak these days, unless in your own age group, is often a minefield.
9:54 pm
Jacula
Shakespeare would have loved to have been around since 1914 to present day; so much daily material for him to work with.
9:54 pm
Pinikula
Oh, jac...you are so right...but Koda (dog) just wanted to go out and do his business (before he gets caught doing it on the carpet). LOL
9:54 pm
Pinikula
..although there are times when "taking him out" has been considered (but then rejected quickly because he's my bestest buddy)
9:55 pm
Jacula
Pink - oh, is he not trained then? Please tell me he's not like one of Sharon and Ozzy's horrible dogs.
9:55 pm
Pinikula
Oh, he's "trained", but still has an accident every now and again (he's only 16 months old and still considered a pup)
9:56 pm
Jacula
Remember that old song 'Born Too Late'? Shakespeare (he spelled that several different ways) would have the opposite theme song.
9:57 pm
Pinikula
not familiar with that; will have to check it out
9:58 pm
Jacula
How would the plays and sonnets have continued, had he been alive today? Would he have stood for the now stilted role of the Poet Laureate as it now stands? I think not.
9:59 pm
Pinikula
no doubt
10:00 pm
Jacula
As an often published poet, I might one day be in the running for PL. Not a post I'd want for the paltry sumof £2,000 at year for writing what you're asked / told to write. That goes against everything poetry is about.
10:02 pm
Pinikula
Well, I work with poets at the uni...they're an interesting lot! :)
10:02 pm
Pinikula
I've gotta git goin' for now...back later...
10:02 pm
Jacula
But, even if it was £10,000 or £20,000 a year, I'd still have to have a think about being told what to write. I'd write as it seemed and came to me and inmy own way and in my own voice, or else there would be no point in it and I would not be 'A Poet'.
10:04 pm
Jacula
Pinl - see you later after your day at work with the free spirits.LOL
10:04 pm
Pinikula
Oh, I'm done with the work day, but a friend just called to say he's going to stop by so we can work more on his famiy tree (my dau's father-in-law)
10:05 pm
Pinikula
We're working on their family tree...and will be connected because my dau is preggo with our grandchild! :-)
10:06 pm
Pinikula
Jac, we'll have to share some pieces another time (I dabble in poetry - having only written about a dozen pieces - two of which I've read publicly)
10:06 pm
Pinikula
...and with that I'm outta here for now! :) Have a good one! * poof *
10:07 pm
Jacula
Mind all the family tree stuff, Pink. It can take over your life. Believe me, it can; i's so fascintating an ne roa leads you off to another. In the end you have to be strict with yourself about which family lines you are going to follloew, or else the spread on the tree gets too big to handle.
10:08 pm
Pinikula
(waiting for the knock at the door)
10:09 pm
Jacula
'Night Pink.
10:09 pm
Pinikula
Very aware of that, jac...I have just shy of 60,000 names in my own database - been working on it since I was in high school
10:09 pm
Pinikula
My two primary lines go back to 1540 and 1650 respectively
10:11 pm
Pinikula
ok...there's the knock...l8r g8rs!!! G'night!
10:11 pm
Jacula
Those are further back than mine,so far, Pink. YOu must be braver thanme.
10:12 pm
Jacula
6 years ago I had no idea what 'l8trs' meant. I do now, though, LOL.
10:14 pm
Jacula
I am here for 10 more minuteds for anyone who needs cluesfortoday's 60-word grid. After that, you're on your own.
10:17 pm
Jacula
I've never even tried to research m married name, since it's 'Brown', preceded by 'Jones' and so too common, but I have made headway with my maiden name.
10:23 pm
Jacula
A far as I can tell the family originated in France and then made their way to the Isle Of Man and Cornwall, the majority landing up on the Isle of Man. From there, they travelled mostly to Wales, Liverpool, Manchester and the West Midlands.
10:24 pm
Jacula
But, since I'm talking to myslf now, it's time I went. Goodnight all and Happy Babbling.

I think I've become unstuck ..

And alone .. That's a weird combination ..
10:59 pm
torgone
Though I'm used to being alone ..
11:01 pm
torgone
Not so weird actually - Unstuck and alone is how one usually finds oneself ..
11:02 pm
torgone
Kind of the definition of unstuck really .. Alone in time and space ..
11:05 pm

Guess I'll just roll with it and try to hit the next portal ..
