1:00 am

J. C.

Oh, good - just wanted to tell you, I sent you an add request on MySpace - not sure if you got it?

1:00 am

J. C.

Too many vowels, you mean?

lil*monkey

oh i don't think i'm on MySpace

1:00 am

Christine

Michelle's a pretty name - my daughter's "sister" when she was small -- had to set a place for herat every meal, and lay out clotes for her to 'wear to school'. Gotta love little girls

3:48 am

kje

me too, fm - will likely take a nap around 6 or so - LOL

3:49 am

FMitch

GB is made up from England Wales Scotland and Northern Ireland

3:49 am

Norma

rob .... England is just one part of the United Kingdon... Great Britain includes Wales, Scotland and Ireland ....

3:49 am

kje

well, that is clear to me... what is less clear, is what is great britain vs UK

3:50 am

robwhy

so each country has their own flag, I guess.

3:50 am

Norma

If you find out kje let me know it is a mystery to me also and I live here lol

3:51 am

kje

rob - think of it as texas flag vs US flag

3:51 am

Norma

Yes we each have a flag ... and the Union Jack is all the flags together except Wales who have a Dragon

3:51 am

robwhy

is there a flag for Europe?

3:51 am

Atalante

GB = Scotland, Wales, England
UK = Scotland Wales, England, NI

3:51 am

FMitch

hmmm is GB excluding N.I and UK inc N.I Where is Haz when you need her?

3:51 am

kje

US is what people other places see... just like we mostly see the union jack, not the others

3:51 am

Norma

Very Succinct Ata

3:52 am

FMitch

Ah thanks Ata to rescue

3:52 am

robwhy

where does Ireland fit in?

3:52 am

kje

thanks ata

3:52 am

Atalante

United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland

3:52 am

robwhy

oh NI

3:52 am

FMitch

Ireland is all by itself

3:52 am

Norma

What a lot of flags for such a little country lol

3:53 am

robwhy

I think I should be using the Texas flag

3:53 am

kje

I don't know if it is even available, rob

3:54 am

kje

how confusing would that be! if everyone used their state flag -

3:54 am

robwhy

well Texas is not really a country like Scotland, so I guess it doesn't work

3:54 am

kje

ssssshhhhh - don't tell some texans that, rob : )

3:55 am

robwhy

don't I know it!

3:55 am

kje

4 a's, 1 e, 4 i's, 5 o's - good lord!

3:56 am

robwhy

i'm not having much luck with this board

3:56 am

FMitch

It is a biof a triksy one.

3:57 am

Atalante

FM can spell, occasionally, honest

3:57 am

kje

I only have 34 so far - but that could be b/c you distracted me with flag talk

3:57 am

FMitch

LOL

3:57 am

kje

I thought maybe she had been drinking, ata

3:58 am

FMitch

I saved my spelling prowess to complete the grid :)

3:58 am

Atalante

noooo that's another babbler

3:58 am

FMitch

It is a tad early for that kje, not quite 10am!

3:59 am

kje

I'm not sure that matters for a drinker, fm - LOL

3:59 am

kje

it is the weekend... could have been a mimosa with brunch!

3:59 am

Atalante

what a lovely idea!

4:00 am

kje

see??? LOL

4:00 am

FMitch

ooh a glass of champagne would be lovely but would lead to a very unproductive day!

4:01 am

kje

occasional unproductive days are great

4:01 am

Atalante

very!

4:01 am

FMitch

Although as I have been up since 5am it does feel like it is getting to be lunchtime already.

4:01 am

Atalante

di5!

4:02 am

FMitch

lol Ata

4:03 am

Atalante

had to take dear husband to the station at 5:30 - he's having a weekend up in London

4:03 am

Atalante

I have a weekend freeeee!

4:04 am

kje

4:04 am

Atalante

party!

4:04 am

FMitch

yay!!!!!, what aree you going to do?

4:04 am

Atalante

well, if it stays this humid, flop here with a fan on me!

4:05 am

kje

how hot is it?

4:05 am

FMitch

going to be about 28 today

4:05 am

kje

halfway

4:05 am

Atalante

22? 24? at a guess. but we're expecting 28

4:06 am

kje

you do not want to know how hot it will be here

4:07 am

Atalante

I love the heat, but its horrid here, cos you never get used to it

4:07 am

FMitch

go on then, tell us kje.

4:07 am

kje

well, i'm not use to it either!

4:07 am

kje

almost 39

4:07 am

Atalante

but you have aircon!

4:07 am

kje

(38.8) or 102

4:08 am

FMitch

ugh that is just too hot

4:08 am

kje

hell yes, ata!

4:08 am

Atalante

I looooved being in Atlanta last summer

4:08 am

Atalante

we don't! we have nothing! and I have a cat that likes investigating windowsills so I can only open the windows a crack!

4:08 am

redturtlehead

oh darn it all, fell asleep on monster grid to wake up ti 85????

4:09 am

kje

my thermostat is set at 80, ata - I think that is pleasant - LOL

4:09 am

redturtlehead

i have mine set at 79, kje wins!

4:09 am

kje

in the summer it stays set 78-80, 66-68 in winter

4:10 am

kje

fans are pretty effective at those temps, ata... stay naked and use a fan

4:11 am

kje

just make sure the curtains are closed - LOL

4:11 am

FMitch

and make sure the webcam is turned off

4:11 am

kje

or not... hubby is away afterall

4:11 am

Atalante

I am :P well, using a fan! I'm more worried about the animals than me, really. They get so hot

4:12 am

kje

give hobbit a bathtub and i suspect that will do it

4:12 am

Hunter

put bottles filled with water in the fridge or freezer and then when they're cold lay them out for the animals to lean against.

4:12 am

redturtlehead

Ata, my teulu does fine in the 38 degree weather every day. i just give him a bucket of ice and water.

4:13 am

Atalante

she has her own supply of ice lollies in the freezer *facepalm*

4:13 am

Atalante

yay Teulu!

4:13 am

kje

spoiled

4:13 am

Hunter

can't ask for much more than my own ice lollies on a hot day

4:14 am

redturtlehead

And you know hes very hairy, as he's a double coated dog.

4:14 am

kje

most animals are actually more efficient at disipating heat than humans

4:14 am

kje

it is amazing that we ended up so far up the food chain, really - we are wimps

4:15 am

Atalante

I just need to remember *not* to take her for 3 hour hikes on hot days. She exhausts herself

4:15 am

redturtlehead

Well, ata when the heat hits you....though 28 sounds like a picnic to me, it shuld remiind you!

4:15 am

redturtlehead

darn it, I can not spell, this morning!

4:16 am

FMitch

Talking of food chain I must away to the supermarket and local market while it is still cool. TTFN and see you later.

4:16 am

kje

bye fm

4:16 am

Atalante

28 is a picnic, the problem with here is that it's normally 17 -18 - 19, and then the difference from that to 28 overnight makes people grumpy

4:16 am

redturtlehead

I am also on my way to "save lives" Have a super delicious day everyone.

4:16 am

Atalante

bye dear!

4:16 am

kje

thanks for correcting me earlier - wouldn't want thw world not knowing the red cross flag

4:17 am

kje

have fun red... don't let 'em get to you

4:20 am

Atalante

I'm trying to decide whether to go down to the beach or not this morning

4:21 am

kje

i would think beach would be cooler... breeze - hobbit could get wet...

4:21 am

Atalante

maybe we'll go out to lunch and then have a wander on the beach

4:22 am

kje

yes... wait until the hotter part of the day to go out! LOL!!!

4:22 am

kje

here, we would go out very early or very late, and the rest of the time, you stay indoors

4:22 am

kje

unless you are nuts and run at 2 in the afternoon... then you get a trip to the ED

4:22 am

Atalante

oh yeah ... I didnt think of that *facepalm*

4:23 am

Atalante

I'm not very awake!

4:23 am

Atalante

but just occasionally cafes put on aircon in the middle of the day!!!

4:24 am

kje

nah - you just aren't use to having to think that way... here, you can tell who grew up in hot areas vs those who didn't by how they walk down the street - people who are use to the heat will always choose the shady side to walk, even if less convenient

4:24 am

kje

tourists walk in the damn sun

4:25 am

Atalante

lol I grew up some of the time in Australia and South Africa. And lived in the Philippines on an island with no aircon!

4:25 am

kje

another funny sight, is that on hot days, you will see people squishing into the shade of a telephone pole when waiting for a bus, say... any shade will do

4:27 am

kje

if hobbit is wet and lies in the room with the fan, he'll do fine...

4:28 am

Atalante

oh yes, she's fine really. I just worry :P

4:28 am

LoriP

***launches water cannon in case FM's about*** G'd morning Babblers!

4:28 am

Atalante

Lorikins!!

4:29 am

kje

these letters are very inconveniently arranged... I keep seeing phantoms

4:29 am

kje

hi lori

4:29 am

LoriP

Ata Hari!

4:29 am

kje

what has FM done to deserve that?

4:29 am

LoriP

Hey kje, 'yer up early.

4:29 am

Eva

good morning all

4:29 am

kje

yes, i DO realize that lori - ut thanks for the reminder that I am not asleep! ; )

4:29 am

kje

hi eva

4:29 am

LoriP

FM is always acting suspicious, so that was just a maintenance launch. :)

4:30 am

Atalante

she always deserves that

4:30 am

Atalante

hi Eva

4:30 am

LoriP

Mornin' Ehva!

4:30 am

kje

aaahhhh - you reserve first strike rights

4:31 am

Atalante

I think I might have to go down to the farm and buy some cherries

4:31 am

kje

I may have to list with only 50 words in

4:32 am

LoriP

It's strawberry time here. Finally! Though if the sun doesn't come out soon, the farmers will take a huge hit.

4:32 am

kje

good idea ata - i may head to the farmer's market in a couple hours

4:33 am

Atalante

strawberries and cherries here

4:34 am

kje

ummmm - pretty much everything here... have been enjoying the figs though!

4:34 am

Atalante

we're just lucky that we can just go to the local farms and buy straight from the farmers

4:34 am

kje

that is nice, ata

4:35 am

Atalante

I live in the middle of 4 or 5 fruit farms, it's great!

4:35 am

kje

stuff comes in from all over the state to the big market here in dallas... alot up from the valley

4:35 am

LoriP

we will go U-pick for berries, should the sun ever come out, and stock up the freezer. The weather is so wet, many berries may rot in the fields. Bad for our already struggl;ing farmers.

4:36 am

Atalante

poor farmers :(

4:36 am

LoriP

cherries aren't a huge market here, though there are local cherries available. More of a niche market.

4:36 am

Eva

we're just a the very beginning of our growing season her. Way behind you guys.

4:36 am

kje

is the rain going to continue?

4:36 am

Atalante

really? omg, we all live on cherries here while they are around!

4:37 am

LoriP

Here in NS you'd have to be insane to take up farming. They're losing money hand over fist. No hint of sun in our forecast either. :(

4:37 am

kje

really??? that is surprising lori - cherries seem so popular

4:37 am

LoriP

I love cherries. Yummy!

4:38 am

Atalante

cherries are the best

4:38 am

Eva

Here too Lori-although peoplle do it - but with greenhouses and hydroponic. There has been so little sun this spring.

4:38 am

kje

that is a fruit that does not grow well down here - too hot

4:39 am

LoriP

It's odd Ehva, geographically 'yer just that far enough (so to speak) away that I'd think 'yer growing season would be ahead of us.

4:39 am

kje

sleepy

4:39 am

kje

going back to bed

4:40 am

kje

have a great day guys

4:40 am

LoriP

Sleep tight kje

4:40 am

Atalante

now I'm wondering how much cash I've got to go and pig out on cherries with

4:41 am

LoriP

lol ***hands Ata 5 clams***

4:41 am

Eva

I think we might be ahead of you Lori, although there certainly are part of NS that have the moderataing influence of the warmer winds-I think the northwest coast, right? I mean I have had lettuce and spinach for a while, and the strawberries are coming in

4:42 am

LoriP

Ahh, that makes sense Ehva. We're just getting that stuff now.

4:42 am

Atalante

clams ... hmmmm

4:43 am

LoriP

lolol a wee bit ADD-ish this morn Ata Hari?

4:43 am

Atalante

just for a change!

4:43 am

Eva

But I planted early this year, to extend the season, and it was so cool and grey until a couple of days ago, when it suddenly turned 90, that it didn't do much good. Also, its been so wet that everyone is struggling with loads of slugs, cutworms, all kinds of lovely critters. And a terrible year for mosquitos, whic i think might be connected to the virus that has killed off 50 percentof the bats

4:45 am

LoriP

:( bats are so important to the cycle. Plus, they eat skeeters. 90 is too hot for me. I'd wilt

4:46 am

Atalante

how can there possibly be 8 letter words today?

4:46 am

Haz1558

Not just one...

4:46 am

LoriP

I personally think it's unpossible.

4:46 am

Haz1558

But three!

4:47 am

LoriP

And there's the peanut gallery.... G'd morning Hazaurus!

4:47 am

Haz1558

Good morning all. One is a quality.

4:47 am

Atalante

exactly! that's just rude

4:47 am

Haz1558

Hello hello!

4:47 am

Haz1558

Correction, two qualities.

4:48 am

Atalante

annoyance and irritation?

4:49 am

Haz1558

No, more along the lines of stuffed upness and being dense.

4:49 am

LoriP

Grammer and spelling?

4:49 am

LoriP

*** ducks ***

4:50 am

Haz1558

Grammar, grammar. Launching dictionaries now.

4:50 am

LoriP

:)

4:51 am

Haz1558

Tricky wee grid, isn't it?

4:52 am

LoriP

Well, my smugness got zapped rather quickly, yes.

4:52 am

Atalante

oh that sort of dense!

4:53 am

dinok

hi all

4:53 am

LoriP

Mornin' dinok

4:53 am

Haz1558

Yes, THAT sort of dense. You don't expect me to be clear at this stage of the day?

4:53 am

Atalante

I was thinking of the Lori style of dense

4:53 am

Haz1558

Hello dinok.

4:54 am

Haz1558

No, not Densa Dense.

4:54 am

LoriP

So was lori. Great. Now I have to actually think think.

4:54 am

Haz1558

One of the other 8s has the same ending.

4:54 am

dinok

chalenging grid, today!

4:54 am

Haz1558

And the other doesn't.

4:56 am

Haz1558

Challenging is one way of putting it. When did challenge become such a buzz word? Nothing is ever difficult or impossible these days, it's 'challenging'.

4:56 am

Haz1558

Can we blame the Americans again?

4:56 am

Atalante

FM, I think

4:56 am

Haz1558

Because I don't think we can blame the French this time.

4:57 am

LoriP

stuffed uppedness as stoopid as they are. Dens....

4:57 am

Eva

what did I do?

4:57 am

LoriP

Noone ever blames Canada.

4:57 am

Haz1558

Canada is blameless.

4:58 am

Eva

blaming Canada would feel like squashing little bunnies. I've been watching lots of reruns of Due Soth Lori. Did you ever watch it?

4:58 am

Eva

Due South that is

4:59 am

Atalante

Diefenbaker!

4:59 am

LoriP

***sticks tongue out at Ehva*** We're blameless! :) Nope, never watched it. I don't watch much TV

4:59 am

dinok

:( i was going to say tough but thought challengening made me sound smarter!

5:00 am

Haz1558

dinok, I'm not getting at you, by the way, it's just something that I've picked up on recently.

5:00 am

Eva

Due South is really quite wonderful-touching, and also wonderful Canda-US jibes. I get it from Netfliz

5:00 am

LoriP

Doh! You meant THAT kind of dense. Had you said that a little more clearly, I may have gotten it without being traumatized. Now I need therapy.

5:00 am

forwardbyfaith

need the second ga6,24 please - I have the plural

5:00 am

Haz1558

Hooray! Light has dawned with the Densa Prez.

5:01 am

Haz1558

ga6/24 - to the strong wind add first two letters of Mr King COle, singer.

5:01 am

LoriP

DENSA and proud. <------

5:01 am

Eva

I found one of the 8's - very appropriate for allergy season, but the rest simply don't exist

5:01 am

dinok

dont worry haz, nothing gets to me, even when it should ;)

5:01 am

Atalante

oh *that* sort of stuffed up ness!

5:01 am

forwardbyfaith

ty Haz

5:02 am

Haz1558

That's good, dinok. Didn't want you to think that I was having a go at you. It's the Americans who are to blame, it's been unanimously decided.

5:02 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, forward.

5:02 am

dinok

LOL!

5:02 am

Eva

hey wait a sec-I'm the only American around right now and I refuse to take all the blame!

5:03 am

Haz1558

I don't know whether to be pleased or not that it's taken so long for Densa Prez and Ata to get what I'm talking about.

5:03 am

Eva

Although everything really is our fault

5:03 am

Haz1558

Consider it your patriotic duty, Eva.

5:03 am

Haz1558

If Harrison Ford can't be here, you'll just have to do.

5:03 am

dinok

present company excepted eva

5:03 am

Atalante

yes, Eva. you could always emigrate, remember

5:03 am

LoriP

At least I eventually got it Haz, that shirley should count for something!

5:03 am

Eva

Anyway, Vermonters aren't really Americans anyway...too close to the Canadian border

5:04 am

Haz1558

It counts for something, Lori. Not a lot, but something.

5:04 am

Atalante

nice try, but no

5:04 am

Eva

okay, could someone take pity an clue the other na8?!

5:04 am

Haz1558

So, are the 8s rounded up?

5:05 am

Eva

no

5:05 am

Haz1558

na8 - to speak with stuffed up nose?

5:05 am

Eva

have that one, thatnks

5:05 am

LoriP

If I say anything I'll just dig the hole deeper.

5:05 am

Haz1558

Then the other is the quality of sound produced by said stuffed up nose.

5:05 am

LoriP

2 of those Ehva

5:05 am

Eva

hmmm. wonder which one I really have?

5:06 am

dinok

anyway in all that i got 2 8s, so and na what is the 3rd plz?

5:06 am

mrpresident

evening all :)) sorry, have been in and out of here this evening!

5:06 am

Haz1558

Two na8s, dinok, clued below.

5:06 am

Haz1558

Hello mrp.

5:06 am

Haz1558

Two of the 8s have the same ending.

5:06 am

LoriP

1 uses the big point tile Ehva. ***ducks ***

5:07 am

Eva

thanks Lori!! have them all now

5:07 am

Eva

Could you send us some bats please?

5:08 am

LoriP

I'm not touching that one Ehva. I know several bats I'd like to send packing... :)

5:08 am

Eva

do you know them personally?

5:09 am

Haz1558

Okay, time I was out of here. I'll be back later, happy babbling to all!

5:09 am

Eva

I'm used to seeing them flitting around at twilight, scooping up the mosquitos, but this year hardly any

5:09 am

LoriP

Most of them. Dad has his annual bats in the attic. He has decided that as long as they stay there, and don't come in the house they're agree to disagree lol

5:09 am

LoriP

Spangulation time Haz? Enjoy!

5:10 am

Eva

I like the idea of bats in the attic.

5:10 am

dinok

bye haz

6:15 am

FMitch

When I first started babbling I used to keep a list of the wierd words so I could remember them, it just got pointless as time went on and the list grew!

6:15 am

LoriP

The g however sucks. I had 3, and Aloy gave me 4. Skipping that....

6:15 am

Aloyisius

Jay's name has become a babblet

6:15 am

Dorens

at first glance it is difficult to believe that 20 words will emanate from that S on the bottom-- are many of them unusual?

7:21 am

Wolvie

I am liking it very much - different strokes I guess

7:21 am

herinfernallady

I had my old hard drive from my lap top put into an external drive so I need to give that a clean up.

7:21 am

Wolvie

good luck with the clean up - not to bad to do

7:22 am

FMitch

7:53 am

FMitch

*dessert even!

7:54 am

Uniquity

Mmm, strawberries. I am sizing up some leftover chinese takeout for brekkie. We ordered in last night as it was our anniversary :) Any excuse not to cook!

7:55 am

FMitch

Awe lovely and nothing wrong with Chinese for brekkie. Did it arrive Uni?

7:55 am

Uniquity

The Chinese?

7:55 am

FMitch

The davenport I meant

7:56 am

FMitch

:)

7:56 am

Uniquity

LOL! Yes. Arrived two days ago. It is a teeny weeny thing, but we love it. Very comfy casual.

7:56 am

Atalante

Uniiiiii! FM!

7:56 am

Uniquity

I spy an Ata attack!

7:57 am

FMitch

Grat Uni!! and Hi again Ata, where did you end up going today?

7:57 am

Uniquity

Maybe an Ata Attack would be an art attack, like the show. You should start another series of art attack!

7:58 am

FMitch

Probably better than Shakatak, although I have to admit to seeing them play live.

7:58 am

Atalante

well actually *I* went to Herne Bay. sans pup. D walked the pup before he left. But I just wanted a bumble around somewhere in peace and quiet

7:59 am

FMitch

Good decision esp to keep Hobbit out of the heat

8:00 am

Atalante

she's just had an ice lolly :)

8:01 am

herinfernallady

ATTTTTTTTTTTTTTAAAAAAAAAAAA

8:01 am

Atalante

I did offer one to Sily, too, but she turned up her nose lol

8:01 am

FMitch

She is a very lucky and happy dog!

8:01 am

Atalante

herin!!!!

8:01 am

herinfernallady

Did you get that message?

8:01 am

Uniquity

Sily doesn't like ice lollies? She and Emma could never be friends...or they could, as Emma would take all her food.

8:02 am

Atalante

she is. I saw a little dog tied up in the full sun earlier, outside a shop. I felt awful. he was there for at least 10 minutes, and I really wanted to hang around to check someone came back for him

8:03 am

Atalante

yes, just looking properly

8:03 am

Atalante

Sily is the fussiest cat ever

8:03 am

herinfernallady

one word CREEEEEEEPy

8:04 am

herinfernallady

Oh my goodness what kind of a$$hole leaves a dog outside in your weather

8:04 am

FMitch

So Uni are you working today? and how many years was the anniversary?

8:05 am

herinfernallady

My cat is eating Spicy BBQ flavoured corn chips.

8:06 am

Atalante

was so cross. I really wanted to stay and check he was ok, but then I had to get back for Hobbit and Sily *sigh*

8:06 am

FMitch

Oh and guess what the son of my Moms oldest friend is living where you are Uni - was amazed when Mom showed me a letter from his Mom!

8:06 am

Uniquity

I am working today. Today is the day celebrating 25 years. We have a bunch of authors and things planned..I am getting a face painting :)

8:06 am

Uniquity

Hooray for Nova Scotia! It's a great place to be

8:07 am

Atalante

I've wanted to go to NS since I was a kid

8:08 am

Uniquity

What sort of temps are you having, Ata? I've never understood the mentality of taking your dog (or cat!) with you to shops, KNOWING you have to leave them tied up outside unprotected and alone.

8:08 am

FMitch

I know! When I said to Mom do you mean N.S or the UK one and she said N.S and I said I know someone that lives there she was flummoxed.

8:08 am

Atalante

it's about 26C? ish. and very humid

8:08 am

FMitch

Its 28 today and next week we are going to be 30+

8:09 am

FMitch

I'm further inland from Ata

8:09 am

Uniquity

That is about as warm as I like it to get...humidity is awful though. Harder to cool off. Poor pups :(

8:10 am

Uniquity

The weather network claims it is 18 c here, but I haven't gone out yet. Hopefully our humidity will have cut back a bit.

8:11 am

Atalante

for once, I think Kent isn't hotter than everywhere else!

8:12 am

rbud

Hi, al, and congrats on your anniversary, Uni, quite something to be proud of these days! :)

8:12 am

NonoNanette

good morning Babblers :)

8:12 am

rbud

oops, hi, all! (who's al? lol)

8:13 am

Atalante

hi rbud, hi nono!

8:13 am

Uniquity

Oh my. I've just realized in my early morning confusion I have made myself sound twice my age. My personal annicersary was five years. Today is my bookstore's 25th celebration. *Hopes to have cleared it up retrospectively*

8:14 am

Atalante

where did you meet Mr Uni?

8:14 am

rbud

haha, well then, still congrats!

8:14 am

NonoNanette

hope the celebration goes well Uni 25 years for a bookstore is quite something

8:14 am

Uniquity

*cough* high school. Remember how young I am, Ata! Only going to be 21!

8:15 am

Atalante

awwwwww :) I guessed that, but you never know what strange tales are flying around!

8:15 am

Uniquity

At least we didn't meet at a pregnancy clinic or something. That would be a weird way to start a relationship. Especially at our ages.

8:16 am

Atalante

I met D on a plane LOL

8:16 am

FMitch

Welcome to my age group Uni *grin*

8:17 am

Uniquity

FM, I wouldn't mind your age group. You grew up in a great generation. If I believed in reincarnation, I would assume I'd already been around a few times...youth doesn't suit me. I don't appreciate it properly, I don't think.

8:17 am

Uniquity

Well, with your travels, where else *would* you meet someone, Ata?

8:17 am

Atalante

thunder!

8:18 am

herinfernallady

??/]

8:18 am

rbud

I met mine in a Hallmark store, he was buying cards for a list of friends and relatives. Very impressive considering he's tattooed with long hair and a beard.

8:19 am

Uniquity

Hallmark has given something good to the world, then!

8:19 am

FMitch

lol rbud and hi!

8:19 am

rbud

and here we are, 22 years later...

8:19 am

FMitch

I met both of mine in pubs, god knows what that says.

8:19 am

herinfernallady

awwww Rbud that is sweet

8:20 am

Atalante

lol FM :) at least they weren't strip clubs

8:20 am

NonoNanette

FM it says you enjoy having a good time

8:20 am

Uniquity

It says you had fun and enjoy life and are a wonderful fantastic woman who can make a friend anywhere. Case in point! :)

8:20 am

Atalante

fm - I just put a new silly pic of sily up for you

8:20 am

NonoNanette

I met mine on the neighbors front porch.... he was dating her at the time :)

8:20 am

FMitch

Uni you are overbiased dear but thank you :)

8:20 am

Uniquity

Hey Nono! I missed you earlier, sorry to ignore.

8:21 am

Uniquity

Ohhh, Nono is a man chaser! :p

8:21 am

NonoNanette

no problem Uni

8:21 am

Atalante

couldn't you have found a millionaire polo captain in Ascot? You should have been in The Thatch, they hang out there :P

8:21 am

rbud

You sly one, Nono! ;)

8:21 am

NonoNanette

heheee a man chaser indeed! We have now been together 42 years

8:21 am

herinfernallady

Hi Nono sorry i was stuffing chocolate in my face

8:22 am

FMitch

Ata the bar at the Thatch I have to stand between the ceiling beams as they are so low also been there and done that with the polo set in my younger years shall we say.

8:22 am

NonoNanette

hi Herin. Please share your chocolate

8:22 am

Uniquity

I only go to pubs if they play live music..then I sit there and drink only as many drinks as I have to be considered an okay patron and enjoy the show.

8:22 am

herinfernallady

I would but i just ated it

8:22 am

Atalante

lol, yes that's the only problem there. I've banged my head on them more than once!

8:23 am

FMitch

I have dated a couple of milllionaires back in the 80's but they just didn't do it for me.

8:23 am

Atalante

oooo!

8:23 am

rbud

money's not everything (or so we keep assuring ourselves, lol!)

8:24 am

Uniquity

It seems like everything when you haven't got it, but when you do, I doubt it is important. Money, that is.

8:24 am

herinfernallady

Money isn't everything if the person is still a plonker they will be a plonker regardless of $$$.

8:25 am

FMitch

It's true rbud, it was much fun at the time but neither of them I considered worthy marriage material, mind you in the light of my ex husband, I might have made a big mistake.

8:25 am

FMitch

Not!

8:25 am

FMitch

well said herin!

8:26 am

Uniquity

You need some life story show. "The sordid life of FM"

8:26 am

herinfernallady

I know a fair few people that come from very well off backgrounds and are really nice and some that are right prats

8:26 am

FMitch

Hey!! whats with the sordid bit???

8:27 am

Uniquity

You tell me!

8:27 am

FMitch

Nothing sordid about my life!

8:27 am

Atalante

ooo we like sordid bits!

8:27 am

Uniquity

Alright. I'm off. Gonna go to work a bit early, hopefully the sun comes out and we get scores of people. Have a lovely day, all! Hug your loved ones!

8:27 am

Atalante

8:35 am

Atalante

8:36 am

herinfernallady

Oh it would have been FM.

8:36 am

herinfernallady

Those bastards have remade FAME.

8:38 am

Atalante

8:38 am

FMitch

FAME being...?

8:39 am

8:42 am

Atalante

8:43 am

herinfernallady

When I was gosh not even 4 I used to dance about to the house to it and create my own chorography.

8:43 am

FMitch

LOL you can never tell with people on line, I honestly would not have put you down as a "Fame" fan herin. I live and learn :)

8:44 am

herinfernallady

Well I was a kid and LOVED the movie. There is talk that Footloose is to be done with Yak Efron in it

8:45 am

Atalante

8:45 am

herinfernallady

Yep FM love it. Love the musicals

8:46 am

Atalante

8:46 am

FMitch

8:47 am

herinfernallady

Good Yak Effron lost the role of Ren McCormack

8:47 am

FMitch

I watched a few bit of the series but wasn't enchanted

8:47 am

Atalante

it was a special "bring Back Fame" thing, like hes done with Star Wars and the A-Team

8:48 am

FMitch

herin I now have an image of a goth(ish) lady dancing to tunes from Fame - brain may go into overload *grin*

8:48 am

Haz1558

Good afternoon/morning all. I see I've arrived to join in the intellectual discussion of the day.

8:48 am

NonoNanette

8:48 am

Haz1558

Strange chat in babble? Can this be?

8:50 am

Haz1558

Hello herin.

8:50 am

FMitch

OK a slightly different sort of strange from the usual strange

8:50 am

Haz1558

8:51 am

FMitch

mmm yes sort of.

8:51 am

LynnNate08

8:52 am

FMitch

Hobbit has decided that hiding under my desk is the best way to sit out thunder

9:33 am

Haz1558

That's Spangle's retreat if there are fireworks going off round here. She doesn't seem to bother about thunder for some reason.

9:34 am

Atalante

Hobbit never used to care, but a few months ago we had a *huge* storm that rocked the house and she didn't appreciate that

9:35 am

Atalante

and since then, she's been a bit - not upset, but slightly disquieted

9:35 am

Haz1558

It's understandable in that case.

9:35 am

Atalante

Silverclaw just glares out of the window at the thunderclouds

12:20 pm

hydra

Damn! Just started to Babble and now a thunderstorm has started so I'll have to switch off so as not to destroy my laptop. (It's happened before during a storm. )

12:28 pm

12:28 pm

Nef

any help with that last ga 5 please (ga5/18)? Even my monkey aren't helping today

12:28 pm

72 Temple Owl

hi bRab! do you like my icon?

12:29 pm

Trifioso

hello babble friends - I wish you could all be with me right now....after all the drama of last night's sleepover, I have the afternoon to myself, and the weather has FINALLY turned lovely again. Right now I am out in my hammock, with my laptop (obviously), babbling next to a babbling stream. It's so peaceful!

12:29 pm

Nef

Tri, that sounds lovely! How did you survive the sleepover? How many were there?

12:30 pm

Nef

TO, I LOVE your icon

12:30 pm

Trifioso

the sleepover was....challenging. LOTS of pre-teen drama, and one little one who bailed at 2 am and had to be collected by the world's nicest mum. But on the whole, successful

12:31 pm

72 Temple Owl

worse pun than bRab?

12:31 pm

Trifioso

and then I had to put the birthday girl in her father's car and watch her drive away. It was surprisingly painful. Thought I was over the worst of that

12:32 pm

Trifioso

hmmmm might need to add a gin and tonic to this hammock scenario....

12:33 pm

Nef

My dtr. had a sleepover for her 13th b'day. She ended up with 35 girls here. Some were pretty rude and sneaky; I was lucky that I worked nights at the time because they were trying to stay up and sneak out on me. It didn't work! ;-)

12:34 pm

Trifioso

THIRTY FIVE!!???? jeez louise!

12:34 pm

Nef

Yeah. We didn't know it til that afternoon when she told me she'd invited ALL 3 classes of 6th grade girls!

12:34 pm

Trifioso

One thing that cracked me up - at some point they decided to play truth or dare....one of the girls ran down into the living room, looked at me, took a big breath, swore, and then legged it. I couldn't help laughing -- it was pretty funny

12:35 pm

Nef

LOL!!! :D

12:35 pm

Trifioso

here

12:35 pm

Trifioso

here's the punchline - her big word? "crap"

12:36 pm

72 Temple Owl

bye!

12:36 pm

Trifioso

bye to - have a great day

12:36 pm

Nef

That's even funnier! I was expecting you to say much worse!

12:36 pm

o-o

hello, TO, one of my favorites... have a great day

12:36 pm

Nef

Bye TO!

12:37 pm

Trifioso

you should have seen her face! She obviously was walking way out side of her comfort zone. It was so cute

12:37 pm

Nef

Any clues for the ga 5/18 please?

12:38 pm

Trifioso

hmm. the only ga 5 i have is ga 5/14

12:38 pm

periwinkle

hello all, have some good news and some not so good news

12:38 pm

o-o

ga 5 -- add texan for southern you

12:39 pm

Trifioso

hello peri! hope it is more good than bad?

12:39 pm

o-o

guess that would be redundant

12:39 pm

periwinkle

the good news is that I am a great aunt for the 3rd time, a boy 9 lbs, 12 oz!! Ari Jason.

12:39 pm

Trifioso

wonderful ! congratulations!

12:40 pm

o-o

the bad news is that Zoe Anne has gotten herself between an old heater, which does not work thank goodness and the wall. I had to get on my hands and knees to find her. not sure how I can get her out unless I try coaxing her out with a broomstick or something. don't know how much longer she can go without food. she had breakfast on Thurs :(

12:41 pm

periwinkle

the mom had to have an emergency C- section. marigold is on her way to the hospital. it is her daughter in law

Anniebrook

hi jmc!

12:48 pm

sugyroxdemsocks

opilio is a crustacean

12:48 pm

Trifioso

Scoop - picture it - I am out in the hammock next to the babbling stream, babbling away :)

12:48 pm

Anniebrook

alleyn, op--think drugs

12:48 pm

jmcnrick

well I takes a while to travel to southern VA register and move into a dorm room

12:48 pm

secooper

beginning of the poppy drug+ robotic ending

12:48 pm

Nef

BBL, laundry is beckoning again

12:48 pm

secooper

OMG that sound sooooooooo relaxing!

12:48 pm

Atalante

no, that's a species name only, and therefore is Latin. Chionoecetes opilio etc

12:49 pm

Trifioso

Hey babe, I have earned it, after the sleepover!!!

12:49 pm

sugyroxdemsocks

ahhhh learn something everyday

12:49 pm

Anniebrook

Trif, a sleepover? Any drama?

12:49 pm

Alleyn58

=THX?

12:49 pm

secooper

of course! i read some of the earlier chat it made me laugh!

12:49 pm

jmcnrick

so I take the sleep over was a success!

12:49 pm

Atalante

you start learning enable's excuses after a while ;)

12:49 pm

o-o

Opilio is a genus of harvestmen with more than sixty known recent species.

12:49 pm

Trifioso

drama on parade

12:50 pm

Anniebrook

Trif, How many girls were at the sleepover?

12:50 pm

Trifioso

11

12:51 pm

Anniebrook

Trif..Sounds very nice. You earned a good rest

12:51 pm

Trifioso

well, nef still wins the sleepover crown, but I am glad tertiare had such a good time. that was the point, after all.

12:52 pm

jmcnrick

*handing Trif a lavendar sachet pillow*

12:52 pm

secooper

trif im jealous of your location im just up in my room with oreo cookie

12:52 pm

jmcnrick

sleep overs makes me glad I has a boy

12:52 pm

Trifioso

and of course there are only about 1,000 yard chores I should be doing, since it is the first nice day in a year, but I am just so bone weary, and I need some peace

12:52 pm

sugyroxdemsocks

so because its a vague term its not a word worthy of babbleness? awww thats cool.. i only have 48 words left i'll solve it!

12:53 pm

secooper

you deserve some peace after that sleepover

12:53 pm

jmcnrick

ooo a character from Gorky Park is in the grid

12:53 pm

Atalante

it's not a vague term, it's a scientific Latin name

12:53 pm

jmcnrick

sugryro the zen of the grid is that it accepts the words it accepts

12:53 pm

Trifioso

I am at the lovely babble stage where most of my tiles I am missing one word. Sigh

12:54 pm

sugyroxdemsocks

yes but still its a word am i wrong? english is latin based correct?

12:54 pm

jmcnrick

I have 81 left! lol

12:54 pm

Atalante

it's not an acceptable word, no. It's a scientific name that's not in common usage

12:54 pm

secooper

my mom does the babble where she has to complete every word in alphabetical order i have to skip around so that happens to me all the time

12:54 pm

sugyroxdemsocks

its teasing my mind with the will of the babble gods

12:55 pm

secooper

go jmc!

12:55 pm

Trifioso

oh seriously scoop? how anal!

12:55 pm

jmcnrick

12:55 pm

Trifioso

I skip around, but I do try to get NBT at first pass....

12:55 pm

Atalante

good ty! hating the grid :)

12:55 pm

sugyroxdemsocks

12:55 pm

jmcnrick

Trifioso

12:56 pm

Trifioso

12:56 pm

jmcnrick

12:56 pm

jmcnrick

12:56 pm

secooper

12:58 pm

secooper

thank you!

12:58 pm

Anniebrook

welcome to babbleland, secooper

12:58 pm

Atalante

what's his / her name?

12:58 pm

Trifioso

okay - don't tell her I told you , but she called me to ask whether or not I thought I was okay for you to babble unsupervised. As if she hasn't been here to see how nice everyone is! I told her no worries.

12:58 pm

secooper

thanks annie!

12:59 pm

secooper

well that is just an internet picture but my real kitty looks exactly like that and his name is oreo

12:59 pm

jmcnrick

well we do get a little riske and frisky from time to time

12:59 pm

secooper

good! thnx auntie!

12:59 pm

Trifioso

she rides the school bus every day - how much worse can we be? :)

12:59 pm

jmcnrick

but I promise not to lure ruru or torg into skinny dipping while sec is here

12:59 pm

Atalante

oreo! awww

1:00 pm

secooper

lol

1:00 pm

Trifioso

yes, everyone be sure to swear at scoop before you leave today. crap!

1:00 pm

Anniebrook

1:00 pm

Trifioso

1:00 pm

jmcnrick

ooo lord how could I forget crossy!

1:00 pm

Anniebrook

how old are you, sec?

1:00 pm

secooper

ya he is a..... strange kitty he throws up about everyday but its ok :)

1:01 pm

jmcnrick

f**** a duck!

1:01 pm

Atalante

my kit does too ...

1:01 pm

Trifioso

actually, speaking of babble studs....has tragicstud been around lately? haven't seen her in ages.

1:01 pm

jmcnrick

seems we were having this conversation on friday early morning before I went to the work day from hell

1:01 pm

secooper

just going into high school in september annie

1:01 pm

jmcnrick

I thought I saw tragic a few days ago--but I could tell you when

1:02 pm

jmcnrick

*could not

1:02 pm

Anniebrook

tragicstud and oodle have not been here in a while

1:02 pm

Trifioso

oodleberry?

1:03 pm

jmcnrick

I have not seen oodle for sometime

1:03 pm

Trifioso

if it is oodleberry you speak of, I don't think he is coming back.

1:03 pm

jmcnrick

no? feelings hurt?

1:03 pm

Anniebrook

Trif, Yes it is oodleberry. Do you know why he is not coming back?

1:03 pm

Trifioso

very.

1:04 pm

jmcnrick

sorry to hear that

1:04 pm

Atalante

who hurt his feelings?

1:04 pm

Trifioso

the usual suspect reamed him for something, and he had had enough of her abuse, and left.

1:04 pm

jmcnrick

?????? well that let's me out --although I was not always my warmest

1:05 pm

Trifioso

he is now on facebook, and he is totally, totally into it. he sends me at least five requests a day, it seems. I think he is the king of something called Youville now....

1:05 pm

Atalante

me too! *is innocent for once*!

1:05 pm

jmcnrick

well I am glad he found a happy home

1:06 pm

periwinkle

well the broomstick method did not work:(

1:06 pm

jmcnrick

*meditating over usual suspect--obviously a woman*

1:06 pm

jmcnrick

oh peri I read---did you try putting food just out of reach?

1:06 pm

Trifioso

peri, is she stuck on something? could a wire be wrapped around her leg? it may be time to call someone who can move that heater, and make sure she really is okay back there

1:06 pm

Anniebrook

peri, would food being put near Zoe lure her out. She must be very hungry by now.

1:07 pm

Atalante

does it begin with T?

1:07 pm

jmcnrick

trif has a point since it has been since Thurs

1:07 pm

periwinkle

I got down on my hands and knees in the wet crawl space but the angle was not right and I could not get the broom stick back there. she had managed to turn herself around so I could see her face and I leaned over the tank and poked around. she came into the crawl space but not out into the open area.

1:07 pm

jmcnrick

I thought maybe k

1:07 pm

periwinkle

I left a small bowl of food near the opening of the space

1:08 pm

Atalante

oooo hadnt thought of that. yes, maybe k

1:08 pm

jmcnrick

it took me a while to read her chog correctly

1:09 pm

periwinkle

she does not appear to be stuck. I leaned over the tank again after she got back in to the space and Poked the area with the broom stick, I may have poked her cause she hissed at me. Unless there is a miracle I am afraid she will die back there :(

1:09 pm

jmcnrick

yikes peri you may have to move that radiator.

1:09 pm

periwinkle

I jiggled one of her favorite toys and treats and that did not work

1:09 pm

secooper

o no :( :(

1:09 pm

periwinkle

it is an old oil tank

1:09 pm

jmcnrick

is it empty?

1:10 pm

Anniebrook

peri, can you get someone to move the tank today?

1:10 pm

katydid

An 11-year-old cat could not possibly have a litter of kittens to keep her hiding away, could she?

1:10 pm

periwinkle

I believe it is empty. I don't think so Annie, will suggest that. it is not my house

1:10 pm

periwinkle

she is 13 and no kittens

1:10 pm

periwinkle

now I have made her angry with the broomstick

1:10 pm

Anniebrook

peri, are you in your new place now?

1:11 pm

Trifioso

oh dear peri!

1:11 pm

jmcnrick

she may be feeling ill and therefore hiding

1:11 pm

Trifioso

jmc - check your fb mail later, kk?

1:11 pm

jmcnrick

kk

1:11 pm

periwinkle

think she is just scared, new place, another cat here, etc

1:11 pm

jmcnrick

can i check it now?

1:11 pm

secooper

oh dear! i feel your pain peri my cat had a major freak out about a month ago

1:12 pm

Atalante

she will come out given time ... but if she's been there since Thursday, she's obviously quite determined. You might have to get her and then block that off

1:12 pm

Trifioso

yes, peri, that may be it....I have heard that it is a good idea to keep a cat confined in one room for a month after a move, until they acclimate. You may have to do that once she is rescued

1:12 pm

periwinkle

I am not a religious person but would those who are please say a prayer that I get my kitty out safely

1:12 pm

jmcnrick

I will hold her in the Light peri

1:13 pm

Trifioso

only if you promise to go to church tomorrow if it works! :)

1:13 pm

katydid

Could you use a mirror and the broomstick to make a sort of super-sized dental instrument to fish around and try to get a look at the situation?

1:13 pm

KatieMcG

crumble decided to live in the shed (although she did come out for food) we had to block up the broken window so she couldn't get it, now gone back to normal

1:13 pm

periwinkle

thanks jmc. I am crying here

1:13 pm

secooper

awww i will too

1:13 pm

KatieMcG

evening everyone

1:13 pm

Trifioso

ooh, good idea katy!

1:13 pm

periwinkle

going to a wedding tomorrow in a synagoge

1:13 pm

jmcnrick

{{{{peri}}}}

1:13 pm

KatieMcG

have you tried throwing string in and getting her to chase it? or a laser pen, always works with ours

1:13 pm

Trifioso

i really think it is time to call the fire dept, or some big blokes to come and move it.

1:14 pm

Anniebrook

Ithink Trif is right

1:14 pm

Trifioso

the lack of water will be more of a factor than the lack of food, I fear

1:14 pm

KatieMcG

I'm with Trif on this one

1:14 pm

periwinkle

I have a small flash light but it is not working

1:14 pm

Atalante

or just leave the room for half an hour ... sometimes cats will come out if they have quiet and emptiness

1:14 pm

periwinkle

I have left water near her but out of reach since Thurs

1:14 pm

secooper

does it seem like she has eaten any of the food?

1:15 pm

periwinkle

I just put the food down, don't want the other cat to eat it tho

1:15 pm

jmcnrick

can you lock the other cat out of that room?

1:15 pm

secooper

can you put the other cat in another room?

1:15 pm

periwinkle

I am beside myself here.

1:15 pm

Trifioso

where exactly is the heater? I mean in what room? Can you isolate your cat?

1:15 pm

secooper

:(

1:16 pm

periwinkle

bbl with an update, thanks for the support. it is under the basement stair, Trif

1:16 pm

Trifioso

it may be the presence of the other cat that is making her so reluctant to come out

1:16 pm

Trifioso

seriously, if you can get the other cat out of the room for a day, that may help

1:17 pm

periwinkle

she has isolated herself, probably feels safe back there. I am sure that is what it is Trif. nothing I can do about that, the other cat does not stay down there

1:17 pm

periwinkle

bye for now

1:17 pm

secooper

ya the cat may just need some peace

1:18 pm

Trifioso

jeez, dont we all! poor peri....

1:18 pm

Trifioso

I hate feeling helpless like that

1:18 pm

Bugsaw

Peri, I just signed on and would like to share my experience with my cat when we moved. She was so freaked out by the change that she went under our bed and stayed there without food or water for over a week. We could see her so we weren't so distressed as you, but she did not eat, drink or poop for over a week.

1:18 pm

secooper

same :(

1:19 pm

Bugsaw

She finally came out and went back in whenever she felt uncomfortable but she was fine in spite of all my concern.

1:19 pm

Trifioso

jmc - kisses back at you!!!

1:19 pm

jmcnrick

lol trif

1:20 pm

secooper

thats good that she was ok though

1:21 pm

Trifioso

whooo - I have the whole right column grey! and on four hours of sleep too!

1:22 pm

secooper

ya trif!!!

1:23 pm

jmcnrick

wtg trif!

1:24 pm

Trifioso

could use a nudge on the last sa word, please

1:24 pm

katydid

Had to go to Google for ideas. My kids have a dog, hamster, hermit crab, two bunnies, a guinea pig, and the lease of a horse . . . but no cats. This was the top answer of 15 on how to lure your cat out of hiding: "Try opening up a can with a can opener. If you have a general idea where she is do it near that. Or it the cat is given treats, shake the can, or bag or whatever it comes in." Also, this response:

"Yup. Gets them every time. Even when I open up tuna fish for me, the kitty comes running. But I let him lick out the can when I'm done and sometimes leave more than a morsel for his extra satisfaction."

1:25 pm

Atalante

yes, tuna usually works!

1:26 pm

Trifioso

nm - got the sa. Tip of the hat to Lost....

1:26 pm

secooper

good :)

1:26 pm

KatieMcG

luckily I don't like canned tuna but hubby's life is a misery when he opens a can

1:26 pm

Atalante

yes, pretty pretty Lost boy

1:26 pm

Trifioso

now I want a tuna sandwich....

1:27 pm

katydid

Will all the cat people on line, maybe someone can tell me this. If my twins were very allergic when 5 and not so allergic when 12, will they every be able to tolerate cats. They would love to have one or more. Does anything help reduce cat allergy?

1:27 pm

KatieMcG

saw the post about oodles, can someone who is friends with me of fb let me know via facebook email his real name so I can ask him to be my friend please

1:27 pm

jmcnrick

short hair cats are better for the alergic

1:27 pm

KatieMcG

honestly it wasn't me who upset him!!! At least I can't imagine it was!

1:27 pm

Trifioso

hmm. not sure katy. I would DEFINITELY take a trip to the immunologist before getting a cat, though.

1:27 pm

Atalante

they might grow out of it, husband was allergic at 12, and tolerates our cat perfectly now

1:27 pm

Trifioso

Katie, his real name is william mc something

1:27 pm

Atalante

and you can get "low allergy" cats too

1:28 pm

o-o

willie mays was the sa* hey kid and freud term

1:28 pm

katydid

As extreme as Chinese crested? Or just domestic shorthair?

1:28 pm

jmcnrick

also keep part of the house cat free--my cat was no allowed on the second floor for example

1:28 pm

KatieMcG

my brother actually grew into his allergy, has to get doped up every time he visits

1:28 pm

Atalante

some of the rexes in particular - devon rex, cornish rex

1:28 pm

KatieMcG

I try and keep one of the bedrooms cat free for when he stays but usually fail

1:28 pm

secooper

not sure either but some people in my family are allergic but not very and they are perfectly fine living with them

1:28 pm

Trifioso

I have heard that people who are allergic to cats aren't allergic to white ones, by the way.

1:28 pm

jmcnrick

domestic short hair works (not as petably soft as a long hair but nice)

1:29 pm

Atalante

so basically, it depends!

1:29 pm

jmcnrick

my cat never came up the stairs after we trained her

1:29 pm

Trifioso

okay, this is hilarious. We no sooner started the Tuna discussion, and I started craving a sandwich, and now three of my neighbors have fired up their weed wackers, so the world now sounds like a BIG can opener. And I am running for the tuna

1:29 pm

katydid

If we ever reduce the total roster of pets, you'all have offered some good pointers for considering a cat. I admire Maine Coon cats, but I guess that's totally out of the question.

1:30 pm

jmcnrick

lol trif

1:30 pm

secooper

hahah wowww trif

1:30 pm

Atalante

weedwhackers - that word makes me laugh so much

1:30 pm

Trifioso

lol ata!

1:30 pm

jmcnrick

well your kids won't always live with you katy!

1:30 pm

KatieMcG

I'm cooking dinner, steak, chips, garlic bread and grilled large mushrooms, hmmmmmm not cooking quick enough

1:30 pm

Atalante

on the other hand, long haired cats can be good as less hairs get up the nose

1:31 pm

Trifioso

screw the tuna, heading for Katie mc G's!!!

1:31 pm

Atalante

YUM, katie!

1:31 pm

jmcnrick

did you know the prototype for the weedeater was a tennis ball can with fishing line?

1:31 pm

jmcnrick

I can pratically smell it across the pond

1:31 pm

Trifioso

and remember, all cats possess an innate "asthmatic person locator" that allows them to immediately hone in on the person who LEAST wants the cat on or near them

1:32 pm

Atalante

we call them strimmers over here

1:32 pm

KatieMcG

what is a weedeater?

1:32 pm

katydid

About 95% of the time that's a sad thought, jmcnrick. They will be 14 on next birthday, so I may be coming up to the years that will reconcile me to their future absence.

1:32 pm

KatieMcG

yep, the cats LOVE my brother

1:32 pm

Atalante

strimmer, katie

1:33 pm

jmcnrick

not for me katy -- my son did not go straight into college so I would say I was suffering "from not enough empty next syndrome"

1:33 pm

katydid

Ooh, Trifioso, I did forget to mention that both girls, and their older brother, do have asthma. Maybe we should stick with the half dozen pets we know we can tolerate.

1:33 pm

jmcnrick

a weedeater was the original invention that is now sometimes called a weedwhacker

1:33 pm

Trifioso

I haven't yet embraced that particular yard chore here. The design of ours puts me off. Something about putting a tank of gasoline under my armpit and then strolling about with it....

1:34 pm

o-o

see for those needing to know more about whackers and eaters? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weedeater

1:34 pm

jmcnrick

my husband had asthma which is why the cat was not allowed on the second floor

1:34 pm

Trifioso

yes, katy, I would say it's "kittens after college" at your house, I am afraid

1:34 pm

jmcnrick

you could use an electric one trif

1:34 pm

Atalante

whereas I have very bad asthma and cats don't bother me

1:34 pm

katydid

Has anyone ever heard of a raccoon as a pet?

1:34 pm

rururocks

my asthma went away when the cats passed away

1:35 pm

Bugsaw

Racoons do not ame

1:35 pm

Trifioso

I have heard of people *trying* to domesticate raccoons, but no success stories

1:35 pm

Bugsaw

tame, I mean

1:35 pm

jmcnrick

not surprised to hear it ru

1:35 pm

rururocks

however they wash their hands more often now

1:36 pm

Trifioso

such stories usually end with stitches and rabies shots

1:36 pm

jmcnrick

racoons are mean

1:36 pm

KatieMcG

better go and finish dinner, first time I have cooked in a week, I do love BBQ weather! see you all later

1:36 pm

secooper

byeee

1:36 pm

1:38 pm

gwenski

Yep. Sure looks like you did

1:38 pm

secooper

o-o

Haussmannization: The creative destruction of something for the betterment of society.

1:46 pm

Atalante

I *think* it's an acceptable synonym for polyzygotic, which means many zygotes, it's used for things like polyzygomatic twins, meaning twins not created from the same zygote

1:47 pm

o-o

(n) cheekbone, zygomatic bone, zygomatic, malar, malar bone, jugal bone, os zygomaticum (the arch of bone beneath the eye that forms the prominence of the cheek)

1:47 pm

Atalante

zygo is a great prefix

1:49 pm

o-o

poly - many : several : much : multi- <polychotomous> <polygyny>2 a: containing an indefinite number more than one of a (specified) substance <polysulfide> b: polymeric : polymer of a (specified) monomer <polyethylene> <polyadenylic acid>

1:55 pm

Atalante

polypropylene, for example

2:04 pm

o-o

the more I seek to know about words the more I learn how truly little I think I know -- let alone actually know

2:06 pm

Atalante

3:56 pm

Uniquity

Your words, not mine.

3:58 pm

Lizsark

Sorry Ata phone rang

3:58 pm

Lizsark

3:59 pm

Atalante

ooo yes very important

3:59 pm

Uniquity

How is Meg?

3:59 pm

Uniquity

What a considerate Mum.

4:00 pm

Lizsark

Sorry :) Megs not great but shes slowly mending

4:00 pm

Uniquity

What happened?

4:00 pm

Lizsark

To Meg? She bit her tongue horrendously badly

4:00 pm

Atalante

did she just fall over?

4:00 pm

Uniquity

Ooohhh. I was here when youhad to leave to go see her, but didn't know why.

4:01 pm

Uniquity

Sounds awful!

4:01 pm

Lizsark

The doctors wanted to operate at first but theres been a slight improvement today so they said they will wait and see now for a few days

4:01 pm

Lizsark

Yes Ata, she was spinning around and fell over *rolls eyes*

4:01 pm

Uniquity

Oh my..howwould they operate?

4:01 pm

Uniquity

Can't they just..stitch it together again?

4:02 pm

Lizsark

You don't really want to know - suffice to say her tongue's insides came out *cringe*

4:02 pm

Atalante

bet she won't do that again!

4:03 pm

Uniquity

I didn't even know that could happen. Poor thing :( Still in hospital, assume?

4:03 pm

Lizsark

bet she will lol

4:03 pm

Atalante

was just about to add - for 2 weeks lol

4:03 pm

Lizsark

No she didn't go to hospital Uni. She was seen here and the paediatrician and ear,nose, throat specialists all conferred via email so they could share a photo of her injury around

4:04 pm

Lizsark

she can't speak very much ata so its quiet around here

4:05 pm

Atalante

*random* just added cute new pics of sily and hobbit on facebook

4:05 pm

Atalante

well that's a small benefit of the situation!

4:05 pm

Lizsark

Ooo will go and look, have fb open on the other side

4:05 pm

Atalante

and how's Monster Dog?

4:05 pm

Uniquity

Lesson learned, I guess. That sounds awful! Glad she didn't have to go to actual hospital though.

4:05 pm

Scrabbler

Hello all. Poor Megan. Yes, tongue lacerations are usually left to heal on own and are not sutured.

4:05 pm

Lizsark

awww Hobbit and an ice lolly!

4:06 pm

Scrabbler

Look at this grid! a's and i's and o's, oh may!

4:06 pm

Lizsark

Me too Uni. The op would have needed a general anaesthetic and I wouldn't want her to have to deal with that :(

4:06 pm

Scrabbler

* Oh my!

4:06 pm

Atalante

she loooves her ice lollies at the moment

4:06 pm

Lizsark

hi Scrabbler. Megs doctor said he'd never seen anything as bad and he used to work in casualty

4:07 pm

Atalante

your lot don't do things by half, do they?

4:07 pm

Scrabbler

Yikes--must have been deep. I have seen big flaps from kids biting tongue when falling.

4:08 pm

Scrabbler

Is this grid one of those small but evil ones?

4:08 pm

Atalante

very much so

4:08 pm

Lizsark

No Ata. We like to keep everyone on their toes lol

4:08 pm

Lizsark

Scrabbler it was revolting *bless her*

4:09 pm

Scrabbler

Lots of blood, Liz?

4:09 pm

Lizsark

Lots is an understatement!

4:10 pm

Lizsark

she still cannot talk or swallow and it was Thursday afternoon it happened

4:10 pm

Scrabbler

I saw one kid's laceration heal with a resultant flap of tissue that then required surgery.

4:10 pm

Atalante

poor Meg!

4:10 pm

Scrabbler

Is she able to drink fluids and remain hydrated?

4:10 pm

Nef

Wow, that sounds like an awful wound!

4:11 pm

Scrabbler

Hi Nef

4:11 pm

Lizsark

to be graphic scrabbler *everyone else close ears now* it cut through the top of her tongue and then the insides of her tongue burst open up through the cut. She had a lump like a mushroom on the top of her tongue - still does

4:11 pm

Nef

(just sat sown again; 22 words left. Doing Housework in between grid attempts

4:11 pm

Lizsark

4:13 pm

Nef

4:13 pm

suefrad625

4:13 pm

Scrabbler

*looking for al6*

4:14 pm

Lizsark

Nef she is very brave - much braver than me :)

4:15 pm

Nef

Well you get a lot of praise from me for caring for her initially! Tha must have been very scary for you! {{{Liz and Dtr.}}}

4:15 pm

Lizsark

Anyway Ata! What do you mean we don't do anything by halves? Weren't you suffering last week with injuries too ? :)

4:15 pm

Scrabbler

Good for her, being a tough kid--it builds resilience.

4:16 pm

Atalante

la la la me? fall over? never!

4:16 pm

Lizsark

LOL Ata :)

4:16 pm

Lizsark

And look at D with his POOR hand!!!!!!!

4:17 pm

Atalante

4:17 pm

Nef

D??? What did he do?

4:17 pm

Lizsark

Oh no! Did you give sympathy? And band-aids?

4:17 pm

Atalante

my annoying hypochondriac husband

4:17 pm

Atalante

no! because he couldn't actually tell me what hurt / why it was hurting. So I ignored him

4:18 pm

Lizsark

LOL Ata! I take it hes not reading over your shoulder then?

4:18 pm

Atalante

he's away for the weekend :D:D

4:18 pm

horsegal

Scrabbler, if you have al5/14...al6/24 is plural

4:18 pm

Lizsark

Happy days - you get Hobbit to yourself :)

4:18 pm

Nef

LOL! Ata, you have such sympathy for him! ;-)

4:18 pm

Atalante

I know, it's been a lovely day!

4:19 pm

Lizsark

You should've been here this week. Simon was away and so we had a girls night at our house. Cheese and wine - lots :)

4:19 pm

Scrabbler

Hummingbird is motoring around!

4:19 pm

Scrabbler

I am looking horsegal

4:19 pm

Atalante

I had sympathy for about 2 years after we got married. Now it just flows straight over my head! He's got a bad back, bad knee, bad foot, bad hand, goodness knows what

4:20 pm

Atalante

ooooo that sounds like fun!

4:20 pm

Lizsark

Bad wife? ROFL :P Didn't mean it!!!!!!

4:20 pm

Scrabbler

Bad neurosis

4:20 pm

Atalante

definitely! *grin*

4:21 pm

horsegal

al5/14 - the greatest boxer plus first letters of a fancy sailing boat...then plural for 6/24

4:21 pm

Lizsark

4:21 pm

Scrabbler

I found the al5 and 6--they were stored on my Babblet harddrive, LOL

4:21 pm

Atalante

4:21 pm

Atalante

the other al6 is 1 letter different

4:22 pm

Scrabbler

Which letter?

4:22 pm

horsegal

Thanks Atalante

4:22 pm

Scrabbler

I figured it out

4:23 pm

Atalante

:)

4:23 pm

Scrabbler

My migraine is not going away--waaaaaah. This is a right-sided one, I typically have left sided ones.

4:24 pm

Scrabbler

I don't think I will get any more gardening done now

4:24 pm

horsegal

put a wet cloth in the micro for a few minutes and then lie down with it over your forehead.

4:24 pm

Nef

Scrabbler, You are online with a migrain? YUK!

4:24 pm

Atalante

I normally get right-sided ones. I'd never considered that before

4:25 pm

Scrabbler

Or a bullet into the right temple would help

4:25 pm

horsegal

LOL

4:25 pm

Nef

I use essential lavender oil, a juice of celery and apples that my hubby makes me and darkness

4:25 pm

Scrabbler

Babble relaxes me, Nef

4:26 pm

horsegal

wow I know what you are feeling like. No lights...No sounds

4:26 pm

Scrabbler

I am on my back deck, watching and listening to birds

4:26 pm

Nef

And now that I think of it, mine are mostly right-sided also. Interesting (I'm a lefty, would that make a difference?)

4:27 pm

horsegal

sayit

4:27 pm

Atalante

headaches are meant to attack the opposite side of the head from the side of your body used most

4:27 pm

Atalante

or so I remember reading at some point

4:27 pm

Scrabbler

For 27 yrs mine have almost exclusively been left sided, with maybe a dozen right sided episodes. Migraines are fascinating brain phenomena--waves of biochemical and electrical changes, related to epilepsy

4:28 pm

Scrabbler

sayit, sayit, sayit, horsegal, don't hold back, lol

4:28 pm

big red

need help with my last word pls aa5.10

4:28 pm

horsegal

LOL Sorry...had curser in wrong box

4:29 pm

Scrabbler

Double vowel + consonant + double vowel

4:29 pm

Atalante

double vowel, consonant, double vowel

4:29 pm

Scrabbler

Is there an echo in here?

4:29 pm

Atalante

here here here ....

4:29 pm

big red

fireworks! thank you

4:30 pm

Nef

I had (now that I'm older) about 4 a year and due to bad effects of meds and allergies, I've never cared for the drugs and have used complimentary therapies instead

4:30 pm

Scrabbler

Yahoo Big Red!

4:30 pm

Nef

WTG, bigred!

4:31 pm

Scrabbler

I get a few each month and take preventive stuff (magnesium, vit B complex)

4:31 pm

Atalante

I get migraines after eating tuna *random*

4:31 pm

Scrabbler

If a meal/snack is delayed that will trigger an episode and I waited too long for lunch. :-(

4:31 pm

Scrabbler

Really, Ata? Interesting trigger.

4:32 pm

beachboggle

Could it perhaps be the mercury content of the tuna triggering?

4:32 pm

beachboggle

Would explain the random factor

4:32 pm

Atalante

my mum is the same. any oily fish. she started getting migraines from them when she was 33. I started at 34. good hereditory trait, eh?

4:33 pm

Scrabbler

Beeper is going off--must go inside. Then I am going to lie in chair out front. I just passed halfway. PB now, Ata.

4:33 pm

Atalante

oh pooo

4:33 pm

Atalante

I really don't know, beach. It's really strange!

4:33 pm

pugmama763

hi all,any clues for GA7/40 please? last word...

4:33 pm

horsegal

Scrabbler try the micro tip I sent you

4:34 pm

Nef

Interesting. I've never been able to figure out what causes mine. I used to get what the neurologist called "Visual Migraines": no pain, but weird visual effects. I would see dark or white "halos" around people, or light would have odd shapes or I couldn't read words. Those were set off by not enough sleep

4:34 pm

Atalante

oooo, that must be very odd

4:36 pm

Nef

First one happened driving (in a winter blizzard) back from my hometown ; a 6 hour drive, by myself, at night

4:36 pm

horsegal

pugmama ga7/40= ga + female (ga*) + 3rd vowel + pan

4:37 pm

Atalante

the only migraines I've ever had where I truly wanted to curl up and die were after eating tuna and mackerel. But I do get less impressive ones after concentrating too much on really fidlly work

4:37 pm

Nef

that sent me directly to an ER once I found out where I was

4:37 pm

pugmama763

ty vm horsegal weird word!

4:37 pm

horsegal

yvw

4:37 pm

Atalante

I bet!

4:38 pm

Nef

this grid might qualify for the cause of a migraine then! Good thing we can chat! :-)

4:38 pm

Atalante

the one thing I've always wanted to understand is why drinking something really cold causes a headache

4:39 pm

horsegal

from the nerves on your palette.

4:39 pm

Nef

You mean brain freeze?

4:39 pm

Atalante

ohhhhh. well I guess that makes sense!

4:40 pm

horsegal

Next time you get a brain freeze. put your tongue on the roof of your mouth to warm it up. The brainfreeze will go away

4:41 pm

gwenski

Hi all. I saw a tv show once where they were testing brainfreeze cures. Of course, to test the cure, they had to keep inducing brainfreezes.

4:41 pm

horsegal

wouldn't want to be on that show

4:41 pm

gwenski

I can't remember what they decided worked. All I recall is the agony of the volunteers.

4:41 pm

Nef

me neither!

4:42 pm

Atalante

ick no. hideous

4:42 pm

Nef

14 left, all S's. I need to go do some more laundry though. BBL

4:46 pm

Atalante

don't think someone could pay me enough to do that testing!

4:49 pm

gwenski

It was one of those pseudo-pop-science shows, if that makes sense. Probably hired some interns for cheap, and made them do all the nasty stuff.

4:50 pm

Atalante

or some university students whose professor was being the Official Scientist

4:58 pm

gwenski

Frustrated with the na8/50. I know the first 5 letters, and that the last three must each be one point, but I can't get it.

4:59 pm

Atalante

same ending as the so8

4:59 pm

carlir

natality of the nose, gwen

4:59 pm

gwenski

My math must have been off, then. Thanks!

5:13 pm

gwenski

Thanks again for the help. Time for me to sign off.

I've heard the we live our lives forward and thn in reverse and that menopause is like adolescence in reverse. So, is that why I can't sleep when I need to be somewhere and go to bed early when I don't need to be anywhere?

I've was given my old job back earlier, secretary to MD (my Ex), since his present secretary is on holiday. Problem is, I didn't ask for the job back, I'm off on holiday at the end of this week, and I deleted the firm's e-mail ingress from my pc because they had 3,000 unread e-mails that were slowing up my computer.

10:04 pm

Yep, right from the start. Miss Bea was a foster bunny, over age 1, and she learned quickly.

10:13 pm

Jacula

Jacko was in need of physcholigical help from well before the time he began to get plastic surgery. I'm not sure if he didn't get it because he was being 'played and used' or because he refused it, or because no one realised. That's my opinion anyway. I loved his music, his dance and his voice.

10:19 pm

stidmama

NBT!!! close enough to halfway! *runs for list with 45 to go*(

10:19 pm

Jacula

aa5 - a shurb that sounds like someone is saying a famous heavyweight boxer's surname slowly.

10:19 pm

stidmama

babblets are commonly seen, usually fairly short, but not often used in conversation

10:20 pm

Stop licking the grid, Torg! You'll mix the tiles up. Doesn't matter to me 'cos I finished hours ago, but you'll be in bother with those who haven't!

10:30 pm

torgone

I don't lick grids ..

10:31 pm

Minveryork

Just glanced at message torgone and saw I don't lick kids.Must be all the Michael Jackson coverage I keep seeing on the television. Really must stop watching it

10:32 pm

Jacula

Min!

10:32 pm

torgone

I was speaking figuratively .. Gosh, you people are so literal ..

10:33 pm

Jacula

That's a bit like me, every time I go over to our local shop and see the van parked opposite, Min. It has 'Gary'a Gutters' written on it, but I always see it as 'Gary Glitter'.

10:34 pm

harpjane

hello 52 to go

10:34 pm

Minveryork

Saw on tv that Eddie Van Halen did the guitar solo in the song Beat It.Never knew that Van Halen did that

10:35 pm

Jacula

However, I don't believe all that stuff about MJ and kids. I believe he still thought of himself as a child and so no harm in what he is said to have done. As for dangling his kid over a balcony - again, childish and also drugged up to the eyeballs with prescription drugs, I think.

10:35 pm

Marc Freeman

io6/36 please

10:35 pm

Minveryork

Hi harpjane! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

10:35 pm

Jacula

Hi Harp.

10:35 pm

jmcnrick

I am in a literal mood torg

10:36 pm

jmcnrick

go harp

10:36 pm

Jacula

io + a word using the high-point tile that sounds like 'leaves life' ( like MJ just did).

10:37 pm

Minveryork

Michael Jackson's death has put videos back on MTV.

10:38 pm

jmcnrick

MJ was a creep and a pedophile and I am happy for his children they no longer can be harmed by him.

10:38 pm

Jacula

MTV - is that still going? Haven't watched that channel since I was going to the gym in the early 90s.

10:39 pm

Minveryork

They should change its name to STV(Stupid Television

10:40 pm

Jacula

jmc - you are entitled to your opinion, but I'm not sure about his kids being able to lead a 'normal' life after his death. First off, is the two eldests' mother wanting them back from MJ's Mum, part of the powerful clan. MJ's Mum is A J/Witness.

10:41 pm

Minveryork

Those children will NEVER be able to lead a normal life

10:41 pm

Jacula

2nd is, we don't know how their upbringing has left them. 3rd is - the media will NEVER let them live a normal life.

10:41 pm

jmcnrick

I never said I thought they would like a normal life--just that he could not harm them any more.

10:42 pm

jmcnrick

J/Witness tend to be very living people if a bit tedious in their faith

10:42 pm

jmcnrick

10:44 pm

jmcnrick

*poof*

10:44 pm

Jacula

I'm not going to get into this discussion at this time of the morn. other Half has just got up, not looking too pleased with me for not having gone to bed yet. (That's truck drivers for you! LOL) Also, I have my own issues with my stepdaughter's Mum right now about what it takes to be a good parent.

10:45 pm

Jacula

Well, I see jmc has gone now, so no need to carry on the discussion anyway.

10:46 pm

Minveryork

Goodbye jmcnrick! I will see you tomorrow in the log!

10:46 pm

Jacula

But there are always going to be two sides to that argument - those who believe the media hype and those who look beyond it.

10:47 pm

Jacula

And around it! I've spent too long in the writing world to believe everything I read.
