12:12 am

jillibus

I'm in facebook -- JC has the answer

12:12 am

J. C.

There are no blogs on Facebook, rolin - so it doesn't serve my purposes. I promote things and provide updates through blogs . . .

12:13 am

J. C.

And the pages on Myspace are customisable . . .

10:37 am

Atalante

remember it :)

10:37 am

Dorens

yiddish word, isn't it?

10:38 am

cherlyq63

yep means trouble and suffering

10:39 am

FMitch

Oh is it, that will be why it had me stumped then

10:40 am

cherlyq63

learn something new every day with babble

10:40 am

FMitch

don't we just!

10:40 am

Atalante

doesn't trouble and suffering = husbands?

10:41 am

Dorens

sometimes it can mean work related situations (i'm in the middle of one now)

10:43 am

FMitch

lol Ata true but we dont' want to be accused of male bashing. Aparently there was a discussion abut that recently.

10:43 am

cherlyq63

the good thing to remember about trouble and suffering is usually they are only temporary and often we are stronger for going through them

10:44 am

Atalante

I can male bash today! Guess what husband said when I informed him that I'm very sorry but I can't do any housework right now cos of my arm?

10:44 am

FMitch

he shaved his head even more?

10:45 am

Dorens

hmmmm something along the line of it will wait until you can?

10:45 am

cherlyq63

he didn't

10:45 am

Atalante

husband: oh well, you can catch up when your arm is better

10:45 am

Atalante

thanks husband!

10:45 am

Atalante

and then he buggered off to London for the day!

10:45 am

Dorens

i win the prize.

10:46 am

Atalante

see? I can legitimately whine today :)

10:46 am

cherlyq63

they learn it young, my son wanted me to do his laundry before he moved out

10:47 am

Dorens

yes, ata you most certainly can!

10:47 am

cherlyq63

or to make his sister do it

10:47 am

cherlyq63

then he wont have to come do it that often (he said)

10:48 am

cherlyq63

told him there was a laundry mat near his new apt.

10:48 am

FMitch

Do we want to whine or wine? Canapes and wine are available in the PB

10:48 am

Atalante

wine!

10:49 am

Dorens

too early in the day over here for wine, but i'll have a canape

10:49 am

Atalante

too early here really too, but hey

10:49 am

Haz1558

Well, you can whine if you want to. I'm feeling particularly triumphant today. I prevented a redundant apostrophe being painted up on a sign.

10:49 am

cherlyq63

what exactly is a canape?

10:50 am

Dorens

three cheers for haz

10:50 am

cherlyq63

way to go haz

10:50 am

Atalante

Haz the Heroine!

10:50 am

Haz1558

Thank you ,thank you.

10:50 am

FMitch

Offers Dorens brnch canapes and the choice of tea, coffee or Hello Haz!!!!!!!!!!!!

10:50 am

Haz1558

And hello to all, by the way!

10:51 am

ch1212

Grammar Hath Apostrophe Zealot!

10:51 am

Dorens

coffee please and thank you fm, and hi haz

10:51 am

FMitch

Haz!!! Hi there and hail well!

10:51 am

Haz1558

I was standing opposite a shop when I noticed that the signwriter had rendered 'Tattoos' with an apostrophe'. I crossed the road, gently pointed out that a plural doesn't need an apostrophe. 'What's a plural?' he asks...

10:52 am

Atalante

how's La Chipolata?

10:52 am

Haz1558

So, I explained, he asked if I was sure and I assured him that I was sure. He thanked me and painted out the apostrophe. Triumph!

10:52 am

JBV

oh, lord, Haz - just walked in on your street Grammar Clinic - that's pretty bad

10:53 am

Atalante

wonderful!!!

10:53 am

FMitch

So much devastation for a Saturday Haz!

10:53 am

Haz1558

It's one less sign to make me groan, so it was kind of preventative.

10:53 am

JBV

good morning, babblers

10:54 am

FMitch

Good morning JBV

10:54 am

Dorens

hi jbv

10:54 am

JBV

hand painted signs are even excusable, because it's usually the fault of just one person, but when i see a commercially printed sign it's maddening to think how many people had to approve it

10:55 am

Haz1558

If only I could have caught up with the van that drove past - It was for an interior design firm that offered roller's and pelments, whatever THEY are.

10:56 am

Haz1558

You're right, JBV.

10:56 am

cherlyq63

sometimes they put one in just to get your attention

10:57 am

FMitch

LOL Haz, remember the vid on youtube that dc has in his bio!

10:58 am

Haz1558

I know, FM, I just can't help it. Mistakes leap out at me.

10:58 am

cherlyq63

we had a popular one down here that was "gitter done", for a cell phone company when they started allowing you to keep your number

10:58 am

FMitch

Of course, who else would pick up on these things!?

10:59 am

Atalante

there's a village near here that has signs saying "Please drive Carefully through this village". It drives me up the wall

11:00 am

ch1212

LOL! Oh ... that sign is hilarious, ata!

11:02 am

ch1212

I dislike towns that use letters for street names. Signage on overpasses say something like, "A Street - 1 mile"

11:03 am

JBV

here's the worst sign I have ever seen (there are a few of them around here) and it has nothing to do with grammar: "Dangerous Intersection" - I always think, why don't they just fix it?

11:04 am

FMitch

Very good point JBV!

11:05 am

ch1212

My beloved pointed out he has often wondered about the popular yellow caution signs stating "SLOW CHILDREN AT PLAY"

11:05 am

FMitch

Time I got some dinner - so TTFN but will be back and lurking if clues needed.

11:06 am

crosshair

we are lucky here.out town street names are all trees(birch,maple,elm ,pine etcgoing north to south and all numbers first to tenth goin east and west;)

11:06 am

Atalante

yes, nice to them to tell us so we can aim better

11:07 am

cherlyq63

lol ata

11:07 am

11:10 am

ch1212

11:11 am

crosshair

id hate to get caught during a actual crossing...yea boss im 3 hours late...the turtle cro**ed:(

11:12 am

ch1212

In New ENgland we saw a sign "DIPS - Do Not Cross When Flooded". Beloved said apparently it's okay for the rest of us to cross

11:13 am

cherlyq63

lololol

11:13 am

crosshair

11:14 am

cherlyq63

11:15 am

crosshair

and our moose croxxing sign up north..makes one think.when i used to hunt,they generally ran between 900 and 1700 pounds..if they want to cro**,i wont argue

11:15 am

ch1212

om goodness!

11:15 am

cherlyq63

the sign showing the measurements got switched with our other underpass lol

11:15 am

ch1212

Oh, that's terrible, but funny!

11:16 am

cherlyq63

same with a buffalo crossing sign on a hwy here cross

11:16 am

crosshair

now that would definatly stop traffic here ,a buffalo lol

11:17 am

cherlyq63

11:17 am

11:22 am

cherlyq63

talk about stopping traffic

11:23 am

Atalante

awww

11:24 am

cherlyq63

Dorens - have you sent me info on where/when?

11:56 am

I like the one on the package of meat ... remove this label before cooking ... it's on the outside of a wrapped package ... but then, there could be people whodo just chuck it in the oven, saucepan or microwave, and they do need to be warned. There is absolutely nothing else, written on the label, so ...

11:56 am

9:18 pm

GreyWoulf

HI stid!
The grid is pretty nice today -- I needed the list to locate the last 20 or so -- a couple of really oddballs but not bad otherwise

9:18 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

9:18 pm

jmcnrick

9:26 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

9:26 pm

stidmama

I know many many people who have had that done, mcurl

9:26 pm

mcurlschool

it is at least not any relation to possible cancer which is a blessing; well come to think of it it's a blessing anyway!

9:26 pm

stidmama

mez -- AGAIN???? *sigh* when? I'll put double stars on that day...

9:26 pm

jmcnrick

it is probably that I don't eat my hamburger with a fork!

9:26 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

once i was in a store, and put my stuff on the counter to buy, and the guy says he has to check all my stuff to be sure I didn't switch things, and that i look like the picture of a shoplifter

9:27 pm

jmcnrick

how odd Book!

9:27 pm

mcurlschool

thanks ren

9:27 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

"the" picture. like there's only one shoplifter, and i'm it. jerk!

9:27 pm

dcseain

9:27 pm

renfield

stid -doing the knee replacement finally after 2 1/2 years :0

9:28 pm

jmcnrick

well put book!

9:28 pm

stidmama

golly gee, gwen. I would have said he is welcome to look at all the stuff -- AS HE PUTS IT BACK -- and then I would have walked out.

9:28 pm

mcurlschool

right now I'm enjoying my quiet house with hubby away but looking forward to meeting up with them come the 21st in New Mexico

9:28 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

hell, i haven't shoplifted since 1978. Oops! LOL

9:28 pm

stidmama

well good. it's about time. give him my best, ren.

9:28 pm

renfield

9:29 pm

I guess I would understand it for me if it had started after I first met with the US soldiers in Canada

9:29 pm

renfield

9:29 pm

jmcnrick

Book! I am shocked

9:29 pm

mcurlschool

ren, I hope it goes great and will put him on my list as well.

9:29 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

stid, i was not clever enough to do that. however, there are other times when i've been rudely dealt with and left their crap on the counter and walked out. so there.

9:29 pm

stidmama

9:30 pm

*poof*

9:33 pm

stidmama

the other day at the craft store there were only a couple people working. I got up to the front to find only one cashier with a return, a couple in line in front of me with a small child -- and apparently only one other person in the store.

9:33 pm

stidmama

When I asked if there was another cashier who could be called up (I was using crutches -- bad hip day) she very curtly said "no" and walked past me in huff. I almost set everything down, but really needed those items right then.

9:35 pm

stidmama

almost halfway... need one more tile for NBT

9:35 pm

quail

i everyone, I've been working bit by bit today on the puzzle, but now I need help. Anyone able to clue the 1st and 3rd ko4?

9:35 pm

stidmama

there. NBT. now for a few more words... *fingers itching for list*(

9:35 pm

stidmama

hello quail!

9:35 pm

renfield

stid - wr5 a letter or send ane-mail to the store - that's what i do - cuz i'm not a rude person and i don;t think peeps should be rude to me

9:36 pm

quail

Hi stidmama.

9:36 pm

stidmama

I think I will, ren. I know times are tough, but managers need to know that it is NEVER okay to be rude to customers. Especially the ones who are already in line to spend money!

9:36 pm

renfield

economy is to tight for merchants to be rude to ' customers'

9:37 pm

stidmama

GMTA!

9:37 pm

GreyWoulf

I had a similar experience at the local Friendly's restaurant recently -- the family plus a friend decided to go out for dinner there. We knew there would be a wait, so weren't surprised to be told that the wait would be 15-20 minutes. Though I was a bit skeptical as there were about 15 other people in the waiting area

9:37 pm

stidmama

*waiting for punch line*

9:37 pm

stidmama

down to 60, getting list.

9:38 pm

GreyWoulf

About 45 minutes later, the girl acting as greeter calls the group that came in after us and acted surprised when I became a bit outraged that she didn't even acknowledge me

9:38 pm

stidmama

WOW. that's SO uncool!

9:39 pm

GreyWoulf

She then disappeared to help another waitress, so I asked one of the servers who had just cashed out a customer if the manager was available

9:39 pm

stidmama

good for you, Woulf.

9:39 pm

stidmama

AR 6 the second please?

9:40 pm

mcurlschool

similar to first change last vowel

9:40 pm

GreyWoulf

turns out she has to leave the store to get change!

However, the server I talked to immediately took control, told the greeter that she would take us in her section and defused what was about to be a very ugly situation

9:40 pm

stidmama

thanks mcurl

9:40 pm

stidmama

got them! As axed!

9:41 pm

stidmama

I hope that server gets a bonus!

9:41 pm

mcurlschool

whoo hoo stid

9:41 pm

GreyWoulf

I have since sent a complaint to Friendly's corporate headquarters about the poor management, but the server who helped us earned a 25% tip from me for proving that someone still understands customer service

9:42 pm

stidmama

((Woulf)) good for you.

9:42 pm

renfield

that's nice that you evenjtually found someone who had a good business head wolf

9:42 pm

quail

i'm having trouble with the cows. anyone have a clue for co8,65?

9:43 pm

J. C.

That is a co, not a cow . . . someone who assists in authoring, does that, quail. :)

9:44 pm

stidmama

second CO 5 please?

9:44 pm

J. C.

Co + Spanish river, fem., stidmama . . .

9:44 pm

quail

thanks, J.C.

9:45 pm

stidmama

thanks JC

9:50 pm

quail

The ones that are causing me soooo much trouble now are so7, 28 and so7, 32. Is someone able to be SO helpful?

9:50 pm

J. C.

You are both very welcome . . . :)

9:51 pm

J. C.

OK . . . so7,28 = so + ceremonies, and so7,32 = so + arth***** (pain).

9:51 pm

saanichcat

hello and agood evening friends! I am crosseyed trying to find the IR5/18, 6/30...can anyone help?

9:53 pm

stidmama

hey saanich!

9:54 pm

saanichcat

Hello Stid, how's the plague at you place? (just kidding, must be a terrible worry.)

9:54 pm

J. C.

Hello, saanichcat . . . ir + Sud***, the other puzzle. ;) And pluralise it . . .

9:54 pm

J. C.

Oh sorry, no - that ends in a u. :(

9:54 pm

stidmama

plague???? have I missed something?

9:55 pm

J. C.

God, I am overtired . . . :( OK - that, but change the last vowel, to the same as the first one.

9:55 pm

J. C.

I hope that's not too confusing . . . :/

9:55 pm

saanichcat

OH JC THANK YOu. That was a real light show!

9:55 pm

stidmama

of course you're tired, JC... look at the CLOCK! *sigh* (some men never learn)

9:55 pm

sharons

ar6.18 the third one or maybe the second one any clues?

9:55 pm

stidmama

YAY saanich!

9:55 pm

stidmama

so 7? either ?

9:56 pm

saanichcat

Stid, I was thinking of your son with the affected ear, how is he/

9:56 pm

J. C.

Yes, yes - I know, stidmama. :P

9:57 pm

J. C.

I got in very late . . . needed to unwind from the night.

9:57 pm

stidmama

he is better, saanich -- we are sometimes lucky that the one who gets the most infections is the one that doesn't feel pain. Though it also means that by the time he feels the infection it is usually pretty advanced... *sigh*

9:57 pm

saanichcat

SO plus rituals (plural only)

9:57 pm

quail

Those were great clues, J.C.

9:57 pm

J. C.

So, I thought I might as well try and finish the puzzle I had started yesterday morning, for a change! I haven't often had time to actually finish them, lately.

9:57 pm

stidmama

thanks saanich!

9:57 pm

J. C.

LIfe and career get in the way of Babble too often, damn it! :P

9:57 pm

J. C.

Glad they helped, quail . . .

9:57 pm

stidmama

that's a good idea, JC. I also use babble to unwind.

9:58 pm

J. C.

Yes, it's good for that, stid - this or word games on Yahoo, such as Word Racer or Literati.

9:58 pm

J. C.

Actually, Word Racer is similar to this . . .

9:59 pm

saanichcat

I use babble to test my mental acuity in the morning. That will determine if I have a physically or mentally day.

9:59 pm

stidmama

that's interesting, saanich -- I used to use "text twist" on Yahoo the same way!

9:59 pm

saanichcat

sorry about the (lack of) grammar

9:59 pm

stidmama

how about the second so 7?

9:59 pm

stidmama

down to 12

9:59 pm

saanichcat

what is text twist?

10:00 pm

stidmama

it's a game with scrambled letters and you find as many words as you can from just those letters.

10:01 pm

stidmama

Like enable's dictionary, sometimes there are nonsense words, but more often I am frustrated that real words don't count

10:01 pm

saanichcat

SO plus arth**** (to describe someone with a bone disease)

10:02 pm

stidmama

AHA! thanks saanich!

10:02 pm

stidmama

and firewords!!!!

10:02 pm

J. C.

Congrats, stidmama!!! :)

10:03 pm

J. C.

Oh, that sounds like fun - Text Twist?

10:03 pm

J. C.

It is a multiplayer game?

10:03 pm

saanichcat

You are welcome! I have to go and water parched plants. Have a great evening everyone... and Congrats Stid!

10:03 pm

stidmama

later saanich! have a lovely day tomorrow!

10:04 pm

stidmama

no JC, solo game

10:04 pm

stidmama

babble is the first game I played with other players that I stayed with. Other "communities" have peculiar and nasty people on them.

10:04 pm

katie09

i hate all these so's

10:05 pm

stidmama

there were some stinky so words today katie

10:06 pm

J. C.

Oh, I see . . .

10:06 pm

J. C.

Yes, stid - unfortunately, that can be the case. :(

10:06 pm

stidmama

JC -- did you locate me on myspace?

10:06 pm

J. C.

Did I, stidmama? I'm not sure . . .

10:06 pm

J. C.

I just did the invitations from my Gmail address book.

10:07 pm

J. C.

Did you receive one?

10:07 pm

J. C.

I'm searching for you on there now . . .

10:07 pm

stidmama

if so, I will accept the contact, otherwise not. I am rarely there, and just to check on particular friends who are not on facebook.

10:07 pm

J. C.

OK, I found you - but it says I've already sent you an invitation, stid.

10:07 pm

dcseain

that's how i use myspace, too stid

10:07 pm

J. C.

So if you check your Gmail, it's probably there?

10:08 pm

stidmama

okay, then I will go ahead and accept it. but I won't be logged in very often. just so you know.

10:08 pm

J. C.

Yes, I am going to be posting blogs, with all my latest updates in them - that's what I'll be using Myspace for, mainly. I don't have time for much else! :P

10:08 pm

J. C.

I'm not either - I'll be away all this coming autumn, and very busy over the winter.

10:09 pm

J. C.

I'm also fairly busy now, and for the rest of the summer - which is why I'm not on here very much.

10:09 pm

J. C.

You may find my page on there amusing, anyway . . .

10:10 pm

stidmama

okie dokie JC. Why away autumn and winter?

10:11 pm

stidmama

anyone need clues? now that I have all the answers...

10:12 pm

dcseain

co6.39, pls?

10:13 pm

J. C.

A bovine's chronological status, Seain?

10:13 pm

dcseain

found it!

10:14 pm

J. C.

And I'll be on a tour this autumn, stid - and doing pantos in the winter, of course. Prancing around all ponced up as Dandini again. :P

10:14 pm

stidmama

go seain go!

10:14 pm

stidmama

good clue, JC, I was still working on mine...

10:14 pm

katie09

we7,44?

10:14 pm

J. C.

You'll see the costume for that, on my Myspace page . . .

10:14 pm

J. C.

Glad it helped, stid! ;)

10:14 pm

stidmama

in that silly PINK tri-corn hat? rofl... at least it highlights your eyes...

10:15 pm

stidmama

we 7 is "becomes tired" start with the we 4 and end with the last three letters of the first co 7

10:15 pm

J. C.

It is indeed, stidmama . . . :P

10:15 pm

stidmama

what is the difference between "panto" and just a comedy play?

10:16 pm

stidmama

it would be fun to see a live performance. They look like such fun when they are recorded.

10:17 pm

katie09

thanks

10:17 pm

J. C.

Not a lot, stid - except that they are traditional children's stories, usually - like Cinderella, as you see there (Dandini is Prince Charming's right-hand man).

10:18 pm

stidmama

okay, I like children's stories. They're at my level.

:-P

10:18 pm

J. C.

Well, I will be posting video clips from some of ours, in yi Myspace blogs - whenever I get around to blogging there! ;)

10:18 pm

J. C.

HAHAHA . . .

10:18 pm

stidmama

that will be fun, JC

10:18 pm

J. C.

Mine too - of course, a lot of the humour is also aimed at the adults, as we can't have the parents bored now, can we? ;)

10:18 pm

stidmama

so, I am going to go finish making the gifts for my students from the 6th grade class... little notebooks and pencils with fancy tags.

10:19 pm

J. C.

For instance, in Cinderella, I play a very flamboyantly gay, campy Dandini - well what do you want, with THAT getup? :P HAHAHA . . . and, it's simply what I am. ;)

10:19 pm

J. C.

The humour of it is probably lost on the younger children, but it makes the older ones and the adults laugh! :)

10:20 pm

stidmama

do you know the brilliant kids actually made me win a bet with their teacher? i bet her, in front of them, that they were completely capable of finishing one last MAJOR task before the 5th graders visit the classroom this next week... a brochure on how to be a 6th grader. I said if they managed to have the brochures ready in time to hand them out to the 5th graders, I would throw a party for them.

10:20 pm

stidmama

So of course, they DID it.

and now I have to buy icecream for them on Monday...

10:20 pm

J. C.

Ooh, good!!! :)

10:21 pm

J. C.

Coconut milk ice-cream? ;)

10:21 pm

stidmama

Yes, I think it is good humor, JC and all in good fun. I am glad there are things like that available for families.

10:21 pm

J. C.

It's very delicious . . .

10:21 pm

J. C.

Yes . . .

10:21 pm

stidmama

Actually, I am thinking of fruit popsicles. More refreshing in the hot weather we are having.

10:22 pm

stidmama

I LOVE coconut milk ice cream. Much creamer than the soy-based ones, though not as many flavor options.

10:22 pm

cwestexan

anyone have a clue for co 6,39 please??

10:22 pm

stidmama

so. I am off to write little messages on teeny cards and tie the cards on the notebooks with raffia.

10:22 pm

stidmama

co 6/39: bovine + years alive

10:23 pm

dcseain

we make chocolate, mint, banana, vailla, rose, and other flavors of coconut milk ice cream

10:23 pm

stidmama

((hugs everyone)) have a lovely weekend! see you-all again soon!!!

*poof*

10:24 pm

J. C.

Awww, you too stidmama! *HUGS!*

10:24 pm

cwestexan

thanks stid!

10:24 pm

J. C.

Yes, that's obviously the only sort of ice-cream we have, Seain - that made from coconut milk. It's excellent! :)

10:25 pm

J. C.

We use soy milk in tea and coffee, though - if you steam the soy milk first, it doesn't curdle in coffee, and vanilla soy is very tasty in it. :)

10:26 pm

dcseain

steamed soy milk is one's friend with hot drinks, i agree

10:26 pm

Nef

Hi again. I have 36 words left. I want to finish tonight (fell asleep last night at the computer trying to finish)

10:27 pm

dcseain

hi, nef

rururocks

rururocks

10:58 pm

Nef

canola (it's easeir to spell tonight

10:58 pm

rururocks

I hear ya

11:02 pm

Nef

there are days when I could say my bad spelling was due to booze or bad behavior. this is one of them.

11:10 pm

rururocks

ohh..party on dude

11:11 pm

mrpresident

hi all :)

11:12 pm

Nef

hi mrp. How are you these days?

11:13 pm

mrpresident

boozed up and bad behaviour hey??

11:13 pm

mrpresident

hi nef :) just woke up after a huge night

11:14 pm

Nef

ruru; I didn't realize that I said exactly the opposite of what I meant there til I reread it just now. I am NOT into booze or drugs; I just can't spell tonight and I should have an excuse for how bad I'm doing!

11:15 pm

Nef

my night is sober and slow. What was your huge night mrp?

11:16 pm

mrpresident

We had lickety's guy friends over... need I say more?

11:17 pm

Nef

Oh My! Sounds like it might be fun though! :)

11:18 pm

mrpresident

it certainly was!! One of the guys is like a brother to me, the other is a best friend, and another still is learning that I don't shift my sleeping habits

11:19 pm

Nef

how many were there in all? Of course,3 could be more than enough

11:20 pm

mrpresident

4 in all, and most behaved like gentlemen! LOL

11:21 pm

Nef

that's good. Does that mean they didn't disturb the younger set?

11:23 pm

mrpresident

the kids were well and truly out of the hub of the little party (that ended 5.30am!). We have 3 rooms dedicated to children to have just as good a time, without seeing, drinking and cigarettes.

11:23 pm

mrpresident

I hate going to a party and seeing people drink and smoke infront of kids.

11:24 pm

mrpresident

*without seeing drinking and cigarettes - my error

11:24 pm

Nef

me too! now-a-days, we rarely see anyone smoke here in MN

11:24 pm

Nef

at least not inside

11:25 pm

Jacula

Hi! Which of the 4 guys blamed it on the women when the Castlmaine 4Xoverloaded Ute's back axle collapsed when one small carton of Babycham was added? LOL

11:25 pm

mrpresident

too right nef... laws have changed, and we have rules at our house

11:25 pm

Nef

huh? Jacula, you lost me.

11:26 pm

Jacula

Old advert, Nef.

11:26 pm

Jacula

takes the pee out of Aussie men.

11:27 pm

mrpresident

aussie men are unto there own!! There is no man on the planet like a yobbo!

11:27 pm

Jacula

Mind you, I know 'the little woman at home' has been depicted in ads forever, but I'm beginning to think it isn't fair the way men are pilloried now and that seems to be 'okay'.

11:28 pm

Nef

okay, I'll believe it then because you say so

11:29 pm

Jacula

British men have their own code of 'what youa re seen to do and say in front of other men', so do Aussies and so do, I bet, most other nations.

11:29 pm

Nef

I don't know any Aussie men -other than lickety, that is

11:30 pm

Jacula

If their codes of conduct held all the time, no one would marry them or have kids with them!

11:30 pm

Nef

very true, Jacula

11:31 pm

mrpresident

well jac, there are plenty of them here... single and childless, because they ARE bad habit boys that won't learn to behave

11:31 pm

Nef

my hubby used to go on fishing trips with his buddies. He'd come home with a hangover and no fish.

11:32 pm

mrpresident

nef, that is funny!!
Lickety went on a fishing trip and I don't believe for a second he saw water! LOL

11:32 pm

mrpresident

Plenty of Bourbon... but no water

11:33 pm

Jacula

Oh MrP! Surely there must be some sensitive Aussie blokes?

11:33 pm

Nef

LOL! Well the ice fishing trips were the worst. He'd have such terrible gas for 2-3 days afterwards; lots of card-playing, lots of drinking; lots of hearty food made with beans

11:35 pm

mrpresident

indeed there are jac!

11:35 pm

Jacula

Men drink, fart and snore, and disappear at times. If we do that, they find a more compliant model.

11:36 pm

Jacula

MrP - I hope Lickety is one of them? (The sensitive kind, that is, not the drink, fart, snore, bugger off kind.)

11:36 pm

mrpresident

I am sure we all do those, but we do it more subtle like!

11:37 pm

mrpresident

He is a SNAG!

11:37 pm

Nef

firworks, finally!

11:37 pm

Jacula

Well of course, MrP. Just as horses sweat, men perspire whilst ladies merely glow. (I sure glow when having a hot flush!)

11:37 pm

Nef

(And I hope SNAG is a GOOD thing!)

11:37 pm

Jacula

Well done on fireworks, Nef.

11:38 pm

Nef

ty, Jac

11:38 pm

mrpresident

SNAG = sensative, new age guy

11:38 pm

Jacula

What's a snag, MrP.

11:38 pm

mrpresident

yay nef!

11:38 pm

Jacula

Sensitive Nerd Aussie Guy?

11:39 pm

Nef

OH! I LIKE that; SNAG! Good term!

11:39 pm

Nef

ty, mrp

11:40 pm

Jacula

Oh, New Age! LOL.

11:41 pm

Jacula

I prefer my nerd version. That means he can assist if your computer crashes or does things you don't understand.

11:43 pm

Jacula

Mind you, I have to rely on my son for the compute r stuff. Central heating stuff etc., house stuff, is Beloved's department. Won't tell either I've got quite au fait with all of that in the 12 or 14 years since I was divorced. LOL. Why make more work for ourself?

11:43 pm

Nef

I think I better drag myself to bed rather than waiting for the flip. Good night all; see you later!

11:44 pm

Jacula

'Night Nef.

11:45 pm

Nef

night Jac. <poof!>

11:45 pm

mrpresident

nite nef!

11:45 pm

Jacula

It's 5.43am here in UK and I've been upall night. Mind you, that was making tea for Beloved who was painting his daughter's new room here until about 3am.

11:45 pm

Jacula

Then I opened a bottle of wine and went off to update my long neglected blog.

11:46 pm

mrpresident

good girl jac!

11:48 pm

Jacula

And now I'm here. It doesn't really matter if I take 8 hours sleep and don't wake up until 1pm because my only task tomorrow is to make a roast beef dinner for 6pm. Belloved will still be painting, 'Stedaughter' will be making him tea and I'll get to do more gardening in between the cooking and ironing if it isn't raining. No, that's not a complaint, that's me sayiing it's a good day!

11:50 pm

Kathihle

Good morning ladies and gentlemen

11:50 pm

mrpresident

I woke at 2pm... had 2 tablets, babble....

11:51 pm

Kathihle

ah, Babble - insomniac's solution :)

11:51 pm

Jacula

When you reach 52 years of age and begin to think you can sit back, please yourself and wait for the grandchildren (who can be read to in smalll doses) to arrive, you don't expect to be landed with a 14-year-old full-time. But Ihave been, so there it is, and we get on with it.

11:51 pm

mrpresident

hi kath :)

11:52 pm

Jacula

Hi Kath.

11:52 pm

Kathihle

How's my fellow southern hemisphere-ite, MrP?

11:52 pm

Kathihle

Hi Jac

11:52 pm

Kathihle

oops, not a good thing to say in THIS country!! lol

11:53 pm

Jacula

?? Kath?

11:53 pm

mrpresident

am doing good kath! and you?

11:53 pm

Kathihle

Jacula, sorry - I'm in South Africa .. too many hijacks around

11:54 pm

Kathihle

MrP, I'm also good thanks ... chilly weather suits me

11:54 pm

mrpresident

it has been really cold here!

11:55 pm

Jacula

Oh, LOL, I see Kath. Well, I did used to say to the people that greeted me with 'Hi Jac', 'Never say that to me on a plane!'

11:55 pm

mrpresident

LOL jac!

11:55 pm

jillibus

Hello all

11:55 pm

Kathihle

You too? My only complaint is that we've had rain, and this is supposed to be a summer rainfall area. Makes things a bit clammy, lol

11:55 pm

Kathihle

lol @ Jacula

11:55 pm

J. C.

Jilli! :)

11:55 pm

Kathihle

Hello jilli

11:56 pm

jillibus

We've been having glorious weather lately -- make up for the horrible winter we had.

11:56 pm

J. C.

Just up for a bit again, so thought I'd see the flip . . .

11:56 pm

Kathihle

.. and JC

11:56 pm

Jacula

Ithas ben really warm here today. But who knows wht tomorrow will bring. So long as no one goes 'ATCHOO! OINK!' Swine 'Flue has now been declared to be a pandemic, being in 70 countries.

11:57 pm

jillibus

Hi JC -- I went back to the chog for earlier and noticed you talking about soy milk. I need some advice and will email you.

11:57 pm

flosey

Excellent icon and write-up Jilli

11:57 pm

Kathihle

Amazing ... a few cases of swine flu and everyone wears a mask ... millions of AIDS victims and still people don't want to wear condoms

11:58 pm

J. C.

Oh, OK Jilli - no problem. :)

11:58 pm

Jacula

I haven't seen anyone wearing a mask here... yet.

11:58 pm

mkg

clue for the 8?

11:58 pm

Jacula

Hi Jilli.

11:58 pm

jillibus

Thanks flosey! I meant to say I enjoyed your Pieta but didn't have a chance last night -- you vanished so fat!

11:58 pm

J. C.

We use soy, rice, almond and coconut milk products . . .

11:58 pm

mrpresident

south africa is just a mess from AIDS...

11:59 pm

Jacula

Kath- that's a god point.

11:59 pm

Kathihle

Not just South Africa, MrP

11:59 pm

Jacula

*good

12:00 am

Jacula

Ebola ever is very very scarey.

12:00 am

Kathihle

Jacula - I haven't seen anyone wearing a condom, either lol

12:00 am

Jacula

Let's hope we don't all get that.

12:00 am

flosey

thanks jilli, and we're all grateful for the fast action of all concerned with the fire all too close to home!

12:00 am

jillibus

Oh well, JC -- this is about a recipe I have for a vegetarian asparagus-orange bisque, which uses cream and needs heating. Stid can't have anything from a cow and I'd like to either give her the recipe or make some when she comes. I gather soy milk curdles when heated????? Please advise :)

12:01 am

Jacula

Kath - LOL! i have a vision of you inspecting men passing by...'Drop your trousers!' 'Why?' 'I want to see if you are wearing a condom.'

12:01 am

Kathihle

lmao

12:01 am

J. C.

Oh I see, Jilli - well I make cream of mushroom soup, using soy milk and flour . . .

12:02 am

J. C.

Erm - and how many of us would be wearing one as a matter of course, under our clothing, Jacula? :P

12:02 am

Kathihle

I'm not in the league that would see a man wearing a condom anyway, hehe

12:02 am

J. C.

And no, Jill - soy milk doesn't curdle merely when heated, but it can curdle in coffee, for some reason. It doesn't in tea, and not in all coffees I've tried it in!

12:03 am

jillibus

Oh thanks, JC, that's a relief. Would you like the recipe? It's yummy

12:03 am

Jacula

Can someone tell the invntors of veggie meals that some vegetarians are allergic to soya and to beans, and also don't like nuts?

12:03 am

bleugirl2

what no flip?

12:03 am

Bugsaw

You could try Rice Dream milk Jilli

12:03 am

mkg

no flip yet.

12:04 am

Jacula

Oh yea, it's late, bleugirl.

12:04 am

Kathihle

Jacula> Same as those who need to follow a low-GI diet .. my daughter can't have the high fibre bread because her ulcer complains.

12:04 am

J. C.

That's why there are also rice, almond and cocnut milk products, Jacula . . .

12:05 am

Kathihle

... and we're both allergic to coconut, lol

12:05 am

bleugirl2

i thought it flipped at midnight central

12:05 am

J. C.

Sure, Jilli - you can e-mail it to me, if you like? Thank you! :)

12:05 am

J. C.

OK - well rice and almond - or just rice milk? :P

12:05 am

Kathihle

I gave up long ago and just eat whatever I like, other than dessicated coconut - that's too dangerous, I prefer to breathe

12:06 am

J. C.

Now this IS multitasking, I'm sure of it - how many threads of conversation am I in, simultaneously? :P

12:06 am

mkg

any clue for the 8?????

12:06 am

Kathihle

I thought it was just a plaited conversation? hehe

12:06 am

J. C.

Erm, yes Kathihle - breathing is always priority!

12:06 am

renfield

12:06 am

J. C.

12:06 am
