1:19 am

jmcnrick

so can I tell y'all the odd thing that happened tonight?

1:19 am

Just1Mar

sure

1:20 am

jmcnrick

I am in Utah at a Baptist conference this week

1:20 am

jmcnrick

I have been joking on the chog about how all my bourbon has to be virtual

1:20 am

rolin

morning all

1:20 am

jmcnrick

so tonight I was invited to a birthday party by one of the Baptist poohbahs

1:21 am

jmcnrick

hi rolin

1:21 am

jmcnrick

they served wine and beer

1:21 am

jillibus

hello rolin

1:21 am

Just1Mar

hi rolin

1:21 am

diem

hi rollin

1:21 am

rolin

its oce the ad5/12 and the or6/18 are linked in the grid

1:21 am

Just1Mar

Is that a no no for baptists? excuse my ignorance

1:21 am

jmcnrick

so we were sitting there chatting about this and that (mainly about religion) when there is a knock at the do4

1:22 am

jmcnrick

Baptist theoretically are dry and sourthern Baptists are definitely drive.

1:23 am

jmcnrick

This crowd was a mixed of a couple of different kinds of Baptists

1:23 am

jmcnrick

SO there is a knock on the do4 and the birthday girl (of 65 or so) goes to answer and there is a police officer and two young people

1:25 am

jmcnrick

So we apologize for being so noisy and the police officer said no it's because you are drinking at all and we have to confinscate all of the alcohol or pout it out!

1:25 am

jmcnrick

SO a Baptist birthday party got raided!

1:25 am

Just1Mar

lol how did they know? (is it illegal to drink in Utah?)

1:26 am

PAV3

they do have strict drinking rules in UT

1:26 am

jmcnrick

apparently it is a dry campus so it is illegal to drink on campus

1:27 am

PAV3

it's illegal to drink on most campuses (presuming you're on a college campus) but moreso in UT

1:27 am

Just1Mar

lol so were you handcuffed and taken down to the station? (rhetorical)

1:28 am

jmcnrick

no but they said we could either put it in the car and leave the state tonight or pour it down the drain.

1:28 am

Just1Mar

so you poured it?

1:28 am

jmcnrick

I said if they wanted it pour out they could do it themselves so they poured out 24 bottles of beer (there were about 16 people at the party so it wsa obviously not a raucous crowd)

1:29 am

jmcnrick

just so odd to get raided at a Baptist birthday party where except for two children I was among the youngest there

1:29 am

Just1Mar

sigh in this day and age...people should have a choice

1:30 am

jmcnrick

and since the conference coordinators were ate the party I think it will be a long time before they come back to Utah

1:31 am

Just1Mar

wb lynxxx

3:31 am

Andree

i have not seen sandy since her daughters op, have been wondering how she is

3:31 am

lynxxx

She hasn't been around for a few months Just. Her computer was broken and she was looking after her daughter after her op.

3:32 am

Just1Mar

I remember her daughter was going thru such a horrible situation :(

3:32 am

Just1Mar

do yo know if her daughter is doing well?

3:33 am

3:33 am

Andree

i haven't seen rose since she got back either, we had a day out with mrp on the day their ship docked but i haven't sighted her on babble

3:33 am

Haz1558

unerman - if you haven't played before, the idea is to get as many 4 letter and bigger words from the grid opposite. There are 300 today. You can get a list of first two letters and length of words from Lickety's babble clues, under Friends of Babble, bottom left corner.

3:33 am

FMitch

rose was here just the other day Andree.

3:33 am

unerman1

i know what to do, i figured it out, but thanks. who had an op????

3:34 am

lynxxx

I made contact a few weeks after the op. She was in pain - but i imagine it was too early to judge whether the op was successful.

3:34 am

Just1Mar

well I sure hope she's doing well, poor thing...what a thing to happen :(

3:35 am

Andree

fmitch its probably me i am not om much lately,i am making a new quilt and i get carried away , haven't seen sprite lately either

3:35 am

lynxxx

Was awful...the medicine she was given seems to have a number of legal cases against it in the States

3:36 am

Andree

thx lynxxx, keep us up to date, i so hope the op was a success

3:36 am

Haz1558

Getting carried away quilting - how I know that feeling!

hahahahahaha

3:36 am

FMitch

lol I know what you mean Andre, get stuck into a new project and time just goes out of the window.

3:36 am

Just1Mar

well that won't help her much...in the states you can sue whomever for a bundle

3:36 am

Haz1558

FM understands as well.

3:37 am

Just1Mar

not here though..:(

3:37 am

Andree

and haz when you patch you nearly wear out the iron pressing constantly, know you would love that

3:37 am

Haz1558

Was it the original medicine that caused her to have the seizures that was so iffy?

3:37 am

FMitch

we could quilt and Haz could ir4, and everyone would be happy :)

3:37 am

lynxxx

Yes Haz

3:38 am

Andree

Haz1558

Good thinking FM, just as long as I got the credit for the whole project turning out beautifully.

3:39 am

lynxxx

*interesting that is

3:39 am

Haz1558

Apart from the rich seam of embroidresses that I'm descended from? I told you about the shotgun wedding?

3:40 am

MonkeyGames

Hi folks! Not really playing right now, hubby's birthday, house to clean and lemon meringue pie to make. But I wanted to let everyone know I just spoke to Sprite on the phone. She is not terribly ill or anything--she just has been overdoing it and is taking a lot of necessary time to rest and build up some resistance. She gets well from one common virus and immediately comes down with another and wants to just take some time do do nothing until she can get back on her feet. She thanks everyone for their concern, loves you all, and will be back on when she feels it's a good idea to be active again.

3:40 am

lynxxx

didn't hear about the shotgun wedding

3:41 am

lynxxx

Thankyou so much for that MonkeyGames

3:41 am

3:47 am

A filthy, slobbering person.

3:48 am

But google says it might be a combination of English and Spanish/Portuguese.

Congrats Just.

Haz did you get your printer to behave in the end?

4:11 am

Haz1558

Yes, FM. After I had shown it the instructions and the CD and threatened to uninstall it, I shut the computer down. When I switched it back on, the printer swung into life. I joked with Lori yesterday that it printed out SORRY.

4:12 am

FMitch

LOL, glad you showed it who was boss :)

4:12 am

Haz1558

In fact, it printed out, without protest, what I had been pleading with it to print for ages. Talk about artistic temperatment!

4:13 am

Haz1558

But we're letting bygones be bygones and I haven't written it down in the incident book.

4:13 am

lynxxx

Ist rule of computer use...when something goes wrong, turn off then turn back on. I keep forgetting it but it always works for me

4:14 am

Haz1558

I know - same with internet when it goes awry. Switch off the router, switch it back on and pr6/21!

4:14 am

Haz1558

Is that what computer helpdesks do all day? Tell people to switch off and on again?

4:15 am

lynxxx

I have to turn off at the power switch for internet issues

4:16 am

Haz1558

Yes, I switch it off at the plug and back on.

4:16 am

FMitch

Would it be inappropriate if I requested a slightly smaller grid for tomorrow, these big ones are sapping.

4:17 am

Haz1558

You're the one with the ear of Dr-G.

4:17 am

FMitch

*gets down on knees to send a message*

4:18 am

Haz1558

And you'll be blamed, whatever the size of the grid.

4:18 am

lynxxx

really?

4:18 am

Haz1558

Oh absolutely, lynxxx. Didn't you know?

4:18 am

FMitch

I haven't been blamed for anything for ages, amazing.

4:19 am

Haz1558

It's just kind of understood, FM. What was the last thing you advised Dr-G about, I've forgotten?

4:20 am

LoriP

300 words in those letters? <------ I beg to digger! G'd Morning Babblers!

4:20 am

lynxxx

hi Lori

4:20 am

FMitch

umm , how to solve the wolds economy but I don't think he was listening.

4:20 am

Haz1558

Hey ho, Lori

4:20 am

LoriP

I also might even beg to *differ.

4:21 am

FMitch

Morning Lori, lol I ws wondering :)

4:21 am

LoriP

"ws" you? :p

4:21 am

Haz1558

I remember now, he wasn't aware that the server had gone down or something and you told him. Everybody else just complained, you swung into action. We don't call you The Administrator for nothing.

4:22 am

lynxxx

good job FM

4:22 am

FMitch

**no-one mention the amount of re's, we don't want to scare Lori off**

Oh yes thats right Haz, I had forgotten that.

4:22 am

Haz1558

THOUSANDS of re words. THOUSANDS.

4:22 am

LoriP

Holy crap! I hadn't even noticed until, until...... gah

4:23 am

FMitch

Actually the p's and n's were worse than the r's

4:23 am

Haz1558

They stretch beyond the little window of the Word List, there are that many of them.

4:23 am

LoriP

Yuk. re's are worse than taxes.

4:24 am

FMitch

an infinitiy of re's

4:24 am

Haz1558

On and on and on and on they come.

4:24 am

FMitch

I've got 19 left.

4:24 am

Haz1558

But don't let that deter you, Lori!

4:24 am

LoriP

You guys are harsh on a caffeeineless body

4:25 am

Haz1558

19 re left. You hear that? You thought I was exaggerating, didn't you?

4:25 am

FMitch

you should know better than to babble without coffee!

4:25 am

FMitch

LOL no 19 words in total left *vaguely smug*

4:26 am

LoriP

It's brewing, just not fast enough. ***ignores the re taunting and rises above it all***

4:26 am

Haz1558

Well yes, I thought that was the case but we like to keep Lori on her toes...

4:26 am

FMitch

*whispers there are 32 of 'those' words*

4:27 am

Haz1558

So, that's more than 10% of the total grid devoted to re?

4:28 am

LoriP

*** la la la la la la la la la***

4:28 am

FMitch

LOL how many more ways can we taunt her with stats?

4:28 am

Haz1558

How many letters used in all re words combined?

4:28 am

FMitch

I could throw a quick graph together if you like?

4:29 am

Haz1558

Oh yes, graphs are always good.

4:29 am

Haz1558

Just think, Lori, if you ignore re words until the end, you're only less than 90% done.

4:29 am

FMitch

glad to say I found the god of love unaided today.

4:30 am

Haz1558

Good! He was beginning to get a bit sulky.

4:32 am

FMitch

not surprising seeing as I gnored him 2 grids on a row.

4:32 am

4:34 am

helenary

thank you lynxx

4:34 am

FMitch

4:34 am

Haz1558

How are you, Liz? Heard anything from our deportee (Ata) on FB?

4:34 am

lynxxx

gah! sorry for using that baaad word

4:35 am

FMitch

why so bad Liz?

4:35 am

Lizsark

Yes Haz she's having a great time :)

4:35 am

Haz1558

But she's missing us all, isn't she? Pining to get back?

4:35 am

LoriP

Liz! G'd morning to ya'. :)

4:36 am

Lizsark

Oh FM it was appalling! I ws doing the disco (the music) for the evening party but they were just horrid horrid people

4:36 am

Lizsark

Errr....not sure about that Haz :)

4:36 am

unerman1

886 points!!!!

4:36 am

Haz1558

Humour us, Liz, we need to feel loved.

4:36 am

unerman1

soak

4:37 am

Lizsark

Haz! Ata says she's missing you SOOOO badly!

4:37 am

FMitch

LOL

4:37 am

Haz1558

I KNEW it. She looooooooooves us.

4:37 am

Lizsark

Ata may come home early just to rejoin us all :)

4:37 am

lynxxx

that has no ring of truth to it whatsoever

4:37 am

Haz1558

Can she do that under the terms of the deportation order?

4:38 am

Lizsark

It doesn't really does it Lynxxx?

4:38 am

Lizsark

Actually I'm sulking with Ata because she put Hobbit in kennels instead of donating her to me for the duration

4:38 am

Haz1558

Or will she get a royal pardon. Of course, if John Barrowman would drop the stalking charges, things would be simpler.

4:38 am

FMitch

wonder if she will be allowed back in this time, it was touch and go last time.

4:38 am

unerman1

spired

4:39 am

Haz1558

I know. What a time we had, picketing Heathrow and everything.

4:39 am

Haz1558

unerman - you need to put your cursor back into the add word section.

4:39 am

Lizsark

Actuallly Haz, I think John Barrowman forgave her, its David Tennant thats on the run from her now

4:39 am

unerman1

i know its screwing up

4:39 am

Haz1558

Have you still got the banners, FM?

4:39 am

Haz1558

'Free the Canterbury one'

4:40 am

FMitch

No I had to dispose of them

4:40 am

Lizsark

Those banners were a political hot potato!

4:40 am

Haz1558

David Tennant, you say? I saw a picture of him with grey hair, they said it had to do with a film role. Obviously he's trying to disguise hiimself to throw her off the scent.

4:40 am

FMitch

porr Ata!

4:41 am

Lizsark

He's planning on growing a beard too. Ata's probation officer demanded it!

4:41 am

Haz1558

I don't know, if we can get Amy Winehouse back into the country, you'd think it would be simpler with Ata.

4:41 am

Haz1558

Good thinking with that probation officer.

4:41 am

Lizsark

You know "Ata Winehouse" kinda has a ring to it

4:42 am

Haz1558

It shows imagination, foresight, clear-thinking. He's obviously not destined for a career in politics.

4:42 am

Haz1558

You're right, Liz. We could disguise Ata as Amy to get her smuggled in.

4:42 am

Lizsark

LOL Ata? If you're lurking, you know we love you :)

4:42 am

Haz1558

Torn clothes, raggy hair and too much eyeliner.

4:42 am

Lizsark

That eyeliner!!!!!

4:43 am

Haz1558

I know!

4:44 am

lynxxx

great voice though

4:44 am

Haz1558

Actually, if she had kept the hair shorn from Hobbit the last time, we could cobble together an Amy Winehouse wig. Good recycling, don't you think?

4:44 am

Lizsark

damn customer brb

4:44 am

Haz1558

Yes, but if she keeps going the way she is, that voice is going to be either ruined or silenced.

4:45 am

FMitch

good thinking Haz :)

4:45 am

Haz1558

Same colour, we wouldn't even need to dye it.

4:46 am

FMitch

that k pops up in some strange places today.

4:47 am

Haz1558

It does, not content just to start words.

4:47 am

FMitch

That was bad enouogh!

4:48 am

Haz1558

A bit of an attention seeker, is k.

4:48 am

FMitch

I am running out of steam ...

4:49 am

Haz1558

List time?

4:49 am

FMitch

Oh I listed at 46, can't afford any more grey hairs.

4:50 am

Haz1558

Have you ever heard of morewords?

4:50 am

Haz1558

I may have mentioned it here before, though not often, I'm sure.

4:51 am

FMitch

No never, can't think that you have ever mentioned it before at any point over the last 4 years, not once!

4:52 am

Haz1558

I must have imagined mentioning it, in that case.

4:52 am

Haz1558

I've heard that it's awfully useful. But don't quote me.

4:52 am

FMitch

LOL actually I rarely use I just count like mad.

4:54 am

Haz1558

Well, if you run out of fingers and toes, I've heard that it's useful.

4:55 am

Haz1558

Anyway, I must head off to do the dreaded shopping. See you later!

4:55 am

question: does anyone know what determines whether a word gets the -er ending, or the -or ending? for example, you can have a debtor, but not a debter

6:59 am

o-o

no idea, Trif. Good day

7:00 am

Trifioso

good day, as in you are leaving?

good discussion of er/or: http://tinyurl.com/ox5ybs

7:08 am

Trifioso

oh, br, you are so nice! thank you dear

7:10 am

o-o

An agentive ending in the English language is the use of the suffix -er, -or, -ist, or -ian at the end of a verb in order to create a noun meaning "someone or something that does the action the verb describes." Examples include provider (from provide) and builder (from build). Examples of words with -ist and -ian endings include pianist and librarian.

7:16 am

Trifioso

it's a really interesting article, thank you so much for sharing it! I have wondered about the grey/gray thing myself....

7:19 am

Trifioso

hmmm. the very -or vs -er factor comes to play with the do/21,,,

doing okay .. have a sense of being quite ignorant again, having not come across the term "agentive ending" before. I just used "actor."

7:40 am

westford

how can you possibly know everything there is to know? doesn't make you ignorant

7:41 am

westford

sounds made up to me anyway lol

7:42 am

we've had so much rain our hydrangea is about to eat Rhode Island

8:01 am

Uneaixoise

they're sooo satisfactory: they're beautiful, last a long time as a cut flower, endure forever (I have some from my grandmother's garden!)

8:01 am

Uneaixoise

west, what a wonderful problem to have!! Lucky you!

8:01 am

Scrabbler

I want to get hydrangeas for my yard. Do deer eat them?

8:01 am

westford

yes one good thing about this record breaking rain

8:02 am

Uneaixoise

hydrangeas do LOVE to have wet feet!

8:02 am

westford

I don't know scrab but they probably do

8:03 am

westford

gardening advice they are big and white I want some color what do I need to add to the soil and when?

8:03 am

Scrabbler

My friend adds something that makes them blue--check with a nursery

8:04 am

Uneaixoise

scrabs, I googled it and found this: Unfortunately, deer love young hydrangeas. They also like new leaves on older plants. However, the older plants usually survive the damage even if they donâ€™t bloom that year. If you are having problems with newly planted hydrangeas, it might help to plant larger hydrangeas and protect them with wire cages the first few weeks they are in the ground.

8:04 am

westford

okay thought you might know off hand

8:04 am

westford

they were here when we bought the house

8:04 am

Uneaixoise

color depends on acidity of soil . . .

8:04 am

Uneaixoise

which doesn't explain why mine bloom BOTH pink and blue! LOL

8:05 am

westford

it's magic une lol

8:05 am

westford

we don't see many deer around here I should put up a free lunch sign

8:06 am

The deer don't eat my hostas because those are close to the house and the deer must be afraid to get that close.

A tufted titmouse just arrived at the birdfeeder--beautiful.

8:10 am

Hi hurshy. Why? Living in the woods, with birdfeeders all around and many varieties of birds?

8:10 am

Bye Une

8:11 am

and I'm off to get ready have a good day all

8:11 am

hurshy

well, being into birds and flowers and knowing stuff about them, having a career where you make a difference, being all active with friends and stuff, no husband...

8:12 am

Scrabbler

Yes, I am happy with my choices, hurshy. I am blessed. Are you having marital issues?

8:13 am

hurshy

always *wry smile*

8:13 am

Scrabbler

Aw....what are your plans?

8:14 am

hurshy

to keep a stiff(ish) upper lip and accept that my life is what it is

8:14 am

Scrabbler

No separation planned?

8:15 am

hurshy

nah, tried that before, felt too guilty

8:15 am

Scrabbler

Is he happy?

8:15 am

Scrabbler

Phantom = respite

8:16 am

hurshy

i don't think he's happy exactly but he wants our relationship to be better, not un-married

8:16 am

Scrabbler

Are you optimistic?

8:19 am

Scrabbler

Besides naked, of course, Jean

8:20 am

EspritdJean

that's becoming a problem Scrabs . . . sometimes I forget I have to put clothes on when I go out of the house

8:20 am

Scrabbler

Jean, let me give you a warning from my current personal experience. Do not search for dry wood for a camp fire when naked after skinnydipping. I have poison ivy, and in some uncomfortable locations.

8:20 am

EspritdJean

OMG woman! What a bad idea

8:22 am

Scrabbler

I know the plant but it must have been hidden and I was not careful enough. The itch is intense.

8:22 am

EspritdJean

not for nuthin, but with all your woodsy knowledge, you don't scout your campsites for such things?

8:22 am

NonoNanette

oh scrabs, I'm sorry but that did make me laugh

8:22 am

EspritdJean

ah I see

8:22 am

EspritdJean

did you have someone pee on it for you?

8:22 am

Scrabbler

Oh, yes, Jean, I am realizing once again what a moron I am.

8:23 am

EspritdJean

oh on your worst day you could never be a moron!

8:23 am

hurshy

that works for poison ivy as well as jellyfish?

8:23 am

Scrabbler

Will that help, Jean?

8:23 am

NonoNanette

was reading back in the log, Scrabs you are right about the tufted titmouse. It is a beautiful bird

8:24 am

Scrabbler

I like the way they fly--up and down through the air

8:24 am

NonoNanette

I had a nest of them in my little birdhouse a couple of years ago and what a delight to watch the little ones when they finally left the nest

8:24 am

EspritdJean

hey are you two NEW here? You don't ever want to take any of MY advice too seriously

8:25 am

suefrad625

ok, who said something about re words yesterday?

8:25 am

suefrad625

they're back

8:25 am

Scrabbler

I have a nest behind me (I am on the roofed portion of my back deck), on a fan vent, and there has been a nest here for several years, first used by robins but this year with Northern juncos. The junco pair has had 2 broods of babies so far this year.

8:25 am

Scrabbler

Hi Sue

8:26 am

EspritdJean

my more grown up suggestion would be an oatmeal bath Scrabs

8:26 am

Scrabbler

I am applying steroid cream and anti-itch stuff and ice packs.

8:27 am

NonoNanette

oh my those juncos have been busy little birdies

8:27 am

EspritdJean

is it just on your lower parts?

8:27 am

Scrabbler

I am wondering how this grid can have 300 words as the words are not jumping out at me.

8:28 am

Scrabbler

Neck, arms, trunk, crotch, legs--all tiny patches.

8:28 am

NonoNanette

the first hundred jumped out but things have stopped jumping now

8:28 am

hurshy

aer

8:28 am

EspritdJean

are you able to be in the clinic with that?

8:28 am

hurshy

are you sure it is poison ivy, then, and not something else?

8:30 am

Scrabbler

It's not contagious nor so awful that it would stun people. And I do wonder if it could be something else, a omen to some other terrible disease, but it fits with poison ivy given my exposure and timing and itch.

8:30 am

EspritdJean

I once suggested to my sister that she rub some poison ivy into her (putz) husband's underwear

8:30 am

Scrabbler

Oakier is not a word. Harumph.

8:31 am

EspritdJean

which she did, with good results

8:31 am

Scrabbler

Yikes, did she, Jean?

8:31 am

NonoNanette

oh my Jean!

8:31 am

hurshy

i just thought if it's so spread around maybe is something you ate... seems like you would have had to roll in the stuff to get it all over

8:31 am

EspritdJean

he deserved it

8:31 am

Scrabbler

Oh, no, but did he "deserve" it?

8:31 am

EspritdJean

hey, I must be psychic!

8:32 am

Scrabbler

Hurshy, if I had the rhus oil (poison ivy leaves have this) on my hands then wherever I touched would get it, plus my legs rubbed against it.

8:33 am

Scrabbler

You are that among other things, Jean, including hilarious.

8:33 am

hurshy

you can test yourself, can't you? i mean at work.

8:33 am

EspritdJean

ty, tyvm, I'll be here all weekend

8:34 am

Scrabbler

I couldn't get tickets to your other shows, Jean, just this one.

8:34 am

Scrabbler

I am living the te4 now, Hurshy. First time in my life.

8:35 am

hurshy

*not sure what that means exactly*

8:36 am

Scrabbler

I wasn't sure what you meant by te**ing myself at work.

8:37 am

hurshy

like, don't you have, you know, medical te4s you can do to see if it is poison ivy or something else

8:37 am

Scrabbler

I believe that about 50% of people are allergic to rhus oil and I figured I was not allergic since I have never gotten a rash despite hiking in the woods.

8:38 am

EspritdJean

Hey I have a bird question maybe someone can answer for me

8:38 am

Scrabbler

I see now. Well, I could see a dermatologist, but this rash seems classic and my exposure was last Friday.

8:38 am

welki

morning, folks

8:38 am

8:42 am

ask away Jean

8:42 am

been waiting to hear that question for a while .. bird must be all grown up already :)

8:42 am

Scrabbler

Speaking of birds, here's Hootowl! Hi Hootowl!

8:42 am

Scrabbler

Ready, Jean.

8:42 am

hootowl

hihihi

8:42 am

welki

hi nan, hoot

8:42 am

EspritdJean

ok - there is some sort of shore bird that I see outside my window

8:42 am

EspritdJean

body is maybe 10-12 "

8:43 am

EspritdJean

stands on rocks or shore to feed, does not actually wade in the water

8:43 am

EspritdJean

has some brown around the chest and when it flies I see purple underneath

8:43 am

welki

runs away from the water?

8:43 am

EspritdJean

no crest or anything

8:43 am

EspritdJean

sometimes sits on a tree branch

8:44 am

hootowl

where are you and fresh water or salt?

8:44 am

EspritdJean

mostly he stands on rocks in the shallow end of the pond

8:44 am

EspritdJean

fresh water, Illinois

8:44 am

hootowl

white?

8:45 am

EspritdJean

no dark color, I see brown and on the underside when he flies, purple

8:45 am

EspritdJean

not a heron or egret, I know those and his legs are not that long

8:46 am

welki

what color is the top of his head?

8:46 am

EspritdJean

kinda black, no crest or anything

8:46 am

Scrabbler

Piper or plover, maybe?

8:46 am

hootowl

but what's on top ? looking in bird book

8:47 am

EspritdJean

smooth head

8:47 am

welki

aha! maybe it is a heron .. there are smaller herons, check out the green backed heron (16" tall, shorter legs)

8:47 am

EspritdJean

I think I know pipers or plovers from beach, I have never seen this one except here

8:47 am

EspritdJean

ok going to google

8:48 am

welki

here: http://www.bio-diversity-nevis.org/ima
ges/Nevis%20Birds/Shore%20Birds/Green%
20Heron.jpg

8:48 am

hootowl

long beak or short

8:48 am

Scrabbler

Green herons are smaller--rusty colored and greenish

8:48 am

welki

was the dark head that made me think of them

8:49 am

EspritdJean

BINGO!!

8:50 am

welki

:)

8:50 am

EspritdJean

your folks are brilliant

8:50 am

hootowl

yup - I see it too. Probably juvenile

8:50 am

Scrabbler

Yippee, bird ID class has been successful.

8:51 am

EspritdJean

I stand in awe!

8:51 am

EspritdJean

ok, I have another question: why don't I ever see baby herons, egrets or cormorants?

8:51 am

hootowl

Didn't use my usual bird book because it never has what I'M looking for. Yours, of course, was!

8:52 am

welki

years ago, i had a nesting pair of great blue herons in my yard; i lived at a convergence of stream and river. i watched them constantly and decided that, if i could be a bird, i'd be a heron ... my nick on the net used to be

8:52 am

welki

'heron' .. wasn't available here. my license plate is 'heron' .. they are magnificent

8:53 am

welki

you don't see them because, by the time they are fledglings, they are almost full grown .. you'd barely notice the difference between juvies and adults

8:53 am

Scrabbler

Probably hidden and protected from predators, is my guess.

8:53 am

EspritdJean

ty welki

8:54 am

hootowl

and since juveniles are marked differently from parents you might think them another species.

8:54 am

EspritdJean

so when you had the nesting pair you never saw the babies?

8:55 am

Scrabbler

I saw my junco babies here--and heard them. Hummingbird is here! It is hovering amongst flowers of garden.

8:56 am

welki

i saw what i thought were the babies .. but only in flight or standing very still in the water. can never be 100% certain unless you see three at a time .. and i never did

8:56 am

EspritdJean

I LOVE HUMMINGBIRDS!

8:56 am

EspritdJean

saw such wonderful ones in Costa Rica

8:56 am

hootowl

direst

8:56 am

Scrabbler

It may come closer to me where I have a hummingbird feeder hanging.

8:57 am

Scrabbler

We only get the ruby throated ones here

2:58 pm

jbp

thanks JBV

2:58 pm

sciencegeek

welki - a drusy is formation of crystals (water seeping through minerals) like geodes. They take certain geodes, cut them and coat them with titanium (a transition metal) in a vacuum with an electrical current passing through the solution of Ti and probably an acid. The variations of voltage in the current are what cause the Ti to deposit in rainbow colors.

8:51 pm

Actually i did not. SHe was not competent in her job and was asking me to do it, and then whineing when I did not have time to do her job.

8:52 pm

redturtlehead

After starting about 4 of her IV's walking her through a Severe SVT etc...I thought her inability to count a mothers pulse and a fetal Pulse was ridiculous.

8:52 pm

redturtlehead

I might apologize tomorro.

8:53 pm

Glad she wasn't my nurse.

8:53 pm

was she under stress? (like you nurses don't have any), maybe she needs to go back and do her internships over.

it's a no win situation, isn't it, red? if you don't do it for her, then your work appears deficient on your charts .. if you do do it for her, then you're doing 2x your work. my kids experience the same thing in the ambulance

It's that Welki. Plus this is a skill that is so basic and simple. I got someone to show her how to do it better, and she then refused to go in the room and learn from him. And THEN, she got annoyed when I asked her to start a simple IV for me...grrrr.

Tertiare ran on ahead, slipped on the wet grass and hurt her ankle when she slammed into one of the planets. Secondo summed it up thusly: "Tertiare fell down a hill and slammed into Uranus!"
