3:18 am

anike

3:18 am

Atalante

does Mr Haz have an extra day off from his cows?

3:18 am

Haz1558

3:20 am

Atalante

the cows of Ballymena will be grateful

3:21 am

Haz1558

Understandably so.

3:21 am

lynxxx

what - that that bloke in the gumboots is coming to do unmentionable things to them again - sure!

3:22 am

Haz1558

But he talks nicely to them at the same time. That's bound to help.

3:22 am

Haz1558

And besides, they have all sorts of revenge in store if they feel like it!

3:22 am

Atalante

does he sing them nice songs?

3:23 am

anike

Has anyone posted a list in his/her profile?

3:23 am

Haz1558

I wouldn't put it past him.

3:24 am

Haz1558

3:29 am

Haz1558

Andree, Andree, Andree. What sort of question is that?

3:29 am

lynxxx

Just started myself Andree

3:29 am

loredana

andree the grid is delightful the last leg looks a little doubtful for me though

3:30 am

Andree

you are right ofcourse haz, silly thought

3:30 am

Haz1558

Even though shocked by the suggestion that you could find better things to do, so far the grid is okay. Think lady's underpinnings and you're well set.

3:34 am

Atalante

43 left and it's getting sticky

3:35 am

loredana

Can't you hear the sound of industry?

3:59 am

loredana

4:00 am

loredana

lost for words Ata excuse typo not enough typing anymore

4:00 am

Andree

just head in grid ata, how are you ata, feeling positive i hope

4:02 am

Atalante

positive that my last words are hard to find, certainly!

4:02 am

lynxxx

Very happy, just placed order with online Vetshop getting 6 months supply of Stew's Flea/Worm stuff for same price as 3 months supply normally. Love my vet but their medicines etc cost a mint

4:03 am

Atalante

excellent!

4:03 am

Haz1558

Poor vet. Sitting down to butterless bread because lynxx wouldn't buy his wormers. Violins playing in the background....

4:03 am

loredana

well done pays to shop around these days

4:03 am

Andree

excellent lynxxx

4:03 am

lynxxx

I do feel guilty but....

4:04 am

Haz1558

Yes, butterless bread, holes in the sheets, shoeless children.

4:04 am

Haz1558

A wife in rags. (Louder violin music)

4:04 am

Atalante

how much markup do vets actually make on frontline etc?

4:05 am

Atalante

a dog in a kennel outside, with no food

4:05 am

Haz1558

I have precisely no idea. But in context, we haven't had a wage increase for at least 5 or 6 years.

4:05 am

lynxxx

My other excellent online buy is to buy direct from Bendigo Woollen Mills. 200 gr pure wool for $11 - paying that price for 50 gr in the shoops

4:05 am

loredana

Oh poor Spangle lets pass the hat around

4:06 am

Andree

i hope you aren't fighting spangle for dinner

4:06 am

Atalante

I've always wondered. It's so expensive.

4:06 am

Haz1558

Who says Spangle gets any dinner? As if we have any money to feed a dog anything other than scraps from our butterless bread.

4:07 am

lynxxx

It must be 100% Ata

4:07 am

Andree

i buy from them all the time lynxxx, usually stock up at craft fair, they have 8 and 10 dollar specials

4:07 am

Atalante

she has to eat rats

4:08 am

Haz1558

But don't forget that part of that markup will be going to pay for premises, staff and the provision of advice etc that your online supplier isn't able to give.

4:08 am

lynxxx

Lord - I feel so guilty. I'm sorry !!!

4:08 am

Haz1558

The most galling phone call I took was from a woman who had bought stuff from the chemist during the day and then rang us about 10 in the evening to ask for advice on how to use it.

4:09 am

Atalante

oh yes, I'm not questioning that vets do an overly large mark-up, but I'd love to know where the expensive bits come in - is it expensive to buy from the manufacturer etc etc

4:09 am

Andree

that is so true haz, but once you know what you need nice to save some $$'s

4:09 am

Haz1558

lynxxx - I'm teasing, don't feel too guilty. A bit guilty but not too much.

4:10 am

Haz1558

It's your choice to buy supplies where you want - the vets probably can't compete on price because they have other factors to consider.

4:11 am

lynxxx

I do know Haz...I didn't begrudge the $10,000 (min) I spent on our previous dog in 3/4 years one litte bit. But now on a limited income my spending habits have changed

4:11 am

Haz1558

I understand. It sounds like you've provided plenty of butter for the shoeless children over the years.

4:12 am

Haz1558

The volin music is fading to nothing.

4:12 am

lynxxx

lol, not my vet though, he's gay and not planning any adoptions that I know of

4:13 am

Haz1558

*violin even.

4:13 am

Andree

i don't think any of us who has owned pets hasn't spent a fortune at the vet and I for one never grudged a cent

4:13 am

Atalante

nor me

4:13 am

lynxxx

Vets are beautiful caring beings

4:13 am

Andree

but I would not be above getting supplies at a better price

4:15 am

Haz1558

Will we have a whip round now for the Vets' Holiday Fund, Ballymena branch?

4:15 am

Atalante

if I was a vet, I'd be wanting to cut a deal with one of the online places. Vet refers to online, they get a cut of the purchase price and customer still gets cheaper items

4:16 am

Atalante

no. but we'll buy Spangle some dog food

4:16 am

Haz1558

Yes, but don't forget that we have built up a relationship over the years with particular suppliers. Cut them out of the picture, job losses etc for them.

4:17 am

Andree

if we buy spangle food, haz will be overun with rats

4:17 am

lynxxx

oh dear, more shoeless kids

4:17 am

lynxxx

lol Andree

4:18 am

Atalante

true, but at some point that's go to break, because it's a market inequality - vets selling the same products for much more than online retailers. Someone somewhere will break the supply chain and then others will etc etc

4:19 am

Haz1558

The reality is the customer can choose where he wants to buy the stuff, if the vet isn't shifting the produce because the price is too high, he'll stop stocking it.

4:20 am

Atalante

yep. and then his prices would have to fall, and the supplier would have to adjust somehow. the people at the bottom always take the rap

4:21 am

Haz1558

I don't pretend to understand all the economics of it all. Basically, the vet provides a service, the goods are available if people want to buy them, but he's running a business and has to make a profit.

4:21 am

Atalante

absolutely. it's basically all about everyone trying to stay in business

4:22 am

licketySplitAUS

Clues are up

4:22 am

Atalante

while macro-economic forces force big companies to decrease every cost possible

4:22 am

Haz1558

Thanks lickety!

4:22 am

lynxxx

Thankyou Lickety. Trust you are keeping well

4:22 am

Andree

4:24 am

lynxxx

Congrats Lore, have a good night (quiet I hope)

4:24 am

Haz1558

Well, this isn't getting the carpetless floors swept or the ragged clothes washed, so maybe I'd better do something about it.

4:24 am

Haz1558

Bye loredana, nice to see you again.

4:24 am

Atalante

lol have a good day :)

4:25 am

Haz1558

I'll be back later - if we can afford the electricity.

4:25 am

lynxxx

bye Haz, don't work too hard

4:25 am

Bye all! And lynxxx, you know I'm only teasing? *gone*

5:34 am

TraderKate

5:36 am

TraderKate

No, but I will do my damnedest to make it creative!

These children are 22 and 23 and have child of their own and live with me due to idea that they need not work...therefore, they do housework, and raise tyheir own offspring inbewteen fights....

jaianniah

No, it is not. The chat is addictive, but it isn't if you are not funny and amusing!

Babble is only addictive if you admit it.

6:03 am

zoozzoom

well that counts me out then Jai..haha

6:04 am

TraderKate

it's practically brass monkey weather here at present...very unseasonable. hobby implies a pursuit that one enjoys, does it not???????????

6:05 am

herinfernallady

Trade why not move. I have heard Canada is brrrrrrrrrr cold

6:06 am

jaianniah

Now, I like to boil. I like having my house relocated each year during hurricane season. This is a very reasonable place to live. And I have been bitten by a copperhead only once....

6:06 am

TraderKate

warmer than mich....or ore...or n. dak......or mont.

6:07 am

No, California has four seasons...mudslides, fires, droughts, and monsoons....

6:10 am

Eva

6:13 am

jaianniah

Have you heard about our honeybees???? They have contracted a virus and are dying out, which gives us about seven years left to occupy the planet before we will all have to go out with paintbrushes and pollinate all our trees and stuff all day long....

6:14 am

herinfernallady

I did hear that Jai. I think we just have screwed everything up

6:14 am

Eva

our bees still seem quite vibrant. I keep a close eye on them

6:14 am

zoozzoom

Yes they have been talking about that here too, very sad..would not think a lack of bees could kill of the human race.

6:15 am

jaianniah

Yep. We have wasps of all varieties, and dive-bombing bumblebees, but I have not seeen a single honeybee all summer....

more than just the awful virus..also out competed by african bees that don't do their share of pollination and are very aggressive

6:16 am

jaianniah

Yep. It's Mississippi, so they have to come here and try us out for fun, just like the fire ants did...

6:16 am

Eva

and we have lost 90 percent of our bats due to white nose virus. We had mosquitoes with a vengeance this summer, despite the cold, because of the rain and, i would guess, the absence of bats

6:16 am

TraderKate

i have a rather large one on my drapes right now...he came in the open window ande it's so cold he just sittds there

6:17 am

jaianniah

Good God!

6:17 am

Eva

Aww...i love bats. i miss seeing them swooping around in the evenings.

6:17 am

herinfernallady

Poor Bats

6:18 am

jaianniah

I like bats, don't get me wrong. It's just that I do not think they should serve as swags for drapes.

6:18 am

TraderKate

have bee not bat, but am very fond of flying mice...

6:18 am

zoozzoom

wow have never had a bat come into the house before.

6:18 am

Scrabbler

Good morning/day to all. Kate, I hope you slept all evening + night and just got here. You were a sleep-deprived lunatic yesterday afternoon.

6:18 am

Eva

I don't know if my tomatoes, the ones that didn't get blossom end rot from the extremes of temp and wet, are ever going to ripen-usually have loads of them by July. even the zucchini fizzled and that's saying a lot!

6:18 am

herinfernallady

My parents had a tiny little bat in their house since they have cathedral ceilings

6:19 am

herinfernallady

Hi Scrabbler

6:19 am

TraderKate

had a bird in here a few weeks back...just a house finch

6:19 am

zoozzoom

Hello Scrabs

6:19 am

Eva

My other cat used to bring bats into my bedroom at night and let them go once she realized they weren't birds or mice. She expected me to remove them.

6:19 am

Scrabbler

I had a bat flying in my house sevreal summers ago. It cost me $2000 to remove the colony from the attic and seal the house.

6:19 am

jaianniah

I thought nothing, I mean NOTHING, killed zucchini! Every year, we spend half the summer passing zucchini from house to house, wondering why the hell we didn't plant just one seed....

6:19 am

herinfernallady

awww Ebathat is too cute

6:20 am

TraderKate

why thank you scrabs, i wish you a good day as well.

6:20 am

zoozzoom

have had a robin in the house..thousands of ants and lots of flies in the summer..lol

6:20 am

Scrabbler

I am sad + disappointed with my tomato crop this summer. I have 27 plants and the production is low.

6:20 am

herinfernallady

Snort we always knew Scrabbler had bats in her belfry

6:20 am

Eva

We had many a conversation about she who brings the bat in gets to take it out, but she would just look at me and meow.

6:21 am

Scrabbler

Kate---really, did you sleep? We were worried about you.

6:21 am

jaianniah

Lack of honeybees. See!

6:21 am

zoozzoom

LOL, eva

6:21 am

TraderKate

never plant zucchini...its like christmas fruitcake. suspect there are only actually 1000 in worlkd...they just keep getting passed on...never eaten

6:21 am

jaianniah

TK, you stole my joke!!!!!! Only nobody read it......

6:22 am

Eva

I know kate, but it's the one thing you can always count on for abundance, even if we all gripe about it. And ever since I found out about using it instead of pasta it gets used much more rapidly.

6:22 am

herinfernallady

Scrabbler I got to snuggle the cutest Angora rabbit today

6:22 am

TraderKate

worried pour moi? pour quoi? was up at 8 last nite...still up, may have a quoick nap soon.

6:23 am

Scrabbler

Rabbit snuggling? Heaven!

6:23 am

jaianniah

Kate, Kate...Dormez vous????

6:23 am

zoozzoom

ok 124 to find, will be back later, bye all, nice listening to the chat today.

6:24 am

Scrabbler

Kate, do you not require much sleep? I need 8.5-9 hrs/night to be at my best the next day.

6:24 am

TraderKate

bat remal brutality, scrasbs...sorry have fallen far behinfd the conversation

6:24 am

jaianniah

I seem to be able to only sleep about 4 hours before my leg starts screaming in pain....

6:24 am

Scrabbler

Bye Zooz

6:24 am

Scrabbler

Why, Jai?

6:25 am

Eva

I can't imagine sleeping that long scrabbler-only has happened a handful of times in my adult life when sick. 6-7 is my max

6:25 am

herinfernallady

It was wonderful. The store that sells them is a rescue store. They make sure every single pet that leaves there gets a good home. ALso the rabbit Cup Cake gets free reign of the bench when its quiet.

6:25 am

TraderKate

sorry for absconding with jai's joke....i am a bad bad babbler

6:25 am

herinfernallady

Bye Zoom

6:25 am

Eva

see you all later...much to do this morning

6:25 am

jaianniah

Had a bad infection in knee joint...it ate all the cartilage...now it rachets instead of glides when I move it....

6:25 am

Scrabbler

I love sleeping in my nest. I have a very entertaining and vivid dream life. It's like I have my own channel, the Scrabbler Channel.

6:26 am

Scrabbler

Bye Eva

6:26 am

TraderKate

Scrabbler

Ouch, Jai

6:26 am

herinfernallady

Jai what about Glocosomen

6:27 am

jaianniah

I eat that stuff like candy and so far the cartilage does not grow and I have developed ...welll ...a gaseous problem.....

6:27 am

Scrabbler

*taking several steps away from Jai*

6:27 am

TraderKate

bye eva

6:28 am

herinfernallady

mmmm Jai. I am no help then

6:28 am

jaianniah

Luckily, it is internal and does not ....well, exit....

6:28 am

Scrabbler

So where does it go then, Jai?

6:29 am

TraderKate

okay finally caught up...sorry

6:29 am

jaianniah

I beat my stomach and move the pockets around...that seems to work...and the glucosamine has gone onto my top shelf of my medicine cabinet

6:30 am

TraderKate

scrabbs i normally sleep long... must use alarm as i will be in nest 12+ hrs. if alllowed...but lately not sleeping well.

6:30 am

Scrabbler

me too, Kate

6:31 am

jaianniah

Neither am I. So I talk here. It is good. Otherwise, I would go crazy. <already has, but does not know it>

6:32 am

Scrabbler

I went crazy many years ago and have adapted quite well.

6:32 am

TraderKate

cwish i had scrabblevision for dreams

6:32 am

jaianniah

I envy you, Scrabbler. My craziness seems to show too much for my family's liking.

6:33 am

Scrabbler

I have incredible dreams that make me seriously wonder about past lives.

6:33 am

TraderKate

to heck with them

6:33 am

TraderKate

to heck with them

6:33 am

TraderKate

you're perfectly charming jai

6:33 am

Scrabbler

Jai, start to accept and value your craziness and then others will too.

6:33 am

herinfernallady

sigh i have to go and block people on facebook

6:33 am

TraderKate

6:34 am

TraderKate

6:34 am

Wolvie

6:38 am

Wolvie

counting the days I bet

6:38 am

Trifioso

good morning babble friends!!!

6:38 am

Wolvie

hi trif

6:38 am

Scrabbler

4 wks from today is last day---big battle over PTO though

6:38 am

Scrabbler

Hi Trif

6:39 am

TraderKate

hi trif

6:39 am

herinfernallady

TRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIFIEEEEEEEEEES

6:39 am

TraderKate

the pto saga continues, does it?

6:40 am

Scrabbler

Alright, I must move myself out of this seat and prepare for the day.

6:40 am

Trifioso

okay, babble question: does anyone else sometimes get words wrong in their head as they play? Here''s what I mean - I found the pl4 that means the ballet bend. Then I pluraled it, and then I tried "one who does the bend" which is how I pronounced it in my head. only after I entered the plural of THAT did I realize that the word actually was the name of a tool, not "one who does the bend" - anyone else ever do this?

6:40 am

TraderKate

trif psst you've got a fan

6:40 am

Wolvie

yes, I remember the battle you mentioned - good luck

6:40 am

Wolvie

bye scrab

6:40 am

Scrabbler

Well, Kate, it is unresolved as I am preparing my arguments

6:40 am

Wolvie

yes trif. :-)

6:41 am

Scrabbler

Yes, I often mispronounce words in my head and find it is a word said another way

6:41 am

Trifioso

hello all - HHHEERRRIIIINNNNN

6:41 am

herinfernallady

Trifs i find it easier just to hit and type. Best luck Trifs

6:41 am

Trifioso

well, glad to know it is not just me!!!

6:41 am

Scrabbler

Bye all. I will miss you. I work from 8:30-7:30 today. Yuck.

6:41 am

Trifioso

kate, who is it that you refer to? Herin?

6:42 am

Trifioso

bye scrabbler! we should starting counting down hours for you! it's so exciting that you are so near to the end!

6:42 am

Haz1558

It works with things like so up and so ap as well. (I'm just passing through - waving to the newcomers)

6:43 am

Wolvie

waves at haz passing thru

6:43 am

Haz1558

And can I confess that I never see pl4 or jete without thinking of MikeyinBerlin? See you all later!

6:43 am

Wolvie

;-)

6:44 am

Wolvie

bye haz

6:44 am

TraderKate

the key is pronunciation. today i was adding 's,er' to some words. had what men wear ....but didn't try er on the food because it is pronounced differently

6:44 am

TraderKate

bye bunnygirl

6:45 am

TraderKate

yes, herin is fan of trif...judging by greeting.

6:45 am

TraderKate

am way behind on chat again

6:45 am

Trifioso

thanks kate. and trust me, trif is a fan of herin!!!

6:46 am

herinfernallady

I heart the b.f that is allowing me on his fb page to see what its drama is

6:46 am

TraderKate

bye haz

6:47 am

Trifioso

which makes me think - babble nicknames often are not pronounced anything like what the real names are....for example, "herin" is not how the first two words of herinfernallady is pronounced, yet we all shortened it thusly.

6:47 am

TraderKate

mutual admiration society, i like that trif

6:48 am

Wolvie

except me - I'm worse - I call her fern. ;-0

6:48 am

Trifioso

(((as you can see, I love me some words!!!)))

6:48 am

herinfernallady

I like Herin. I think it was Inge that said it was very close to master of the dog

6:48 am

TraderKate

too many letters her infernal lady

6:49 am

TraderKate

is there a she who must be obeyed?

6:49 am

Trifioso

and my name is a mash up of my kid's names, yet people here call me "trif" which mashes two of the names even further. Note - I don't mind trif at all!!!

6:49 am

Wolvie

not that I know of Kate

6:50 am

TraderKate

all nicknames are short , warm and fuzzy

6:50 am

herinfernallady

Yep. That is usually me :D

6:51 am

TraderKate

hyerin reminds me of bird, heron...very regal, but not pretentious

6:51 am

TraderKate

guess i9 didn't pick a good name then?

6:52 am

Trifioso

your name is just fine Kate - there, see, even I shortened you!

6:52 am

SheenaShayna

Yes, but why "Trader"?

6:53 am

Wolvie

well hi sheenashayna. ;-)

6:53 am

Wolvie

shesha, maybe?

6:53 am

SheenaShayna

6:53 am

TraderKate

6:53 am

SheenaShayna

6:53 am

TraderKate

how 'bout sheesh?

6:54 am

SheenaShayna

Sheesh works for me.

6:54 am

Wolvie

LOL - much better

6:54 am

TraderKate

sheesh it is then

6:55 am

TraderKate

wolvie is the exeptional one...

6:55 am

Trifioso

I used Trifioso when I first went on line years ago, and just never changed it. I like how it's gender neutral, and unique enough that I usually don't have to add numbers after it.

6:55 am

Wolvie

already shortened, eh?

6:55 am

TraderKate

is today bank holiday in uk?

6:55 am

herinfernallady

Well I am now in a awesome happy mood.

8:51 am

Atalante

8:51 am

Lizsark

Love the dear Ata

8:51 am

afflamed

lmao! yes labs are dopey but they are amazing

8:51 am

Lizsark

He's been converted Ata :) He is a saint nowadays ;)

8:51 am

Atalante

Oscar is quite a special lab

8:52 am

Atalante

have you been doping him or something?

8:52 am

afflamed

i have poo-dog/cream lab, sturgis/brown lab and willow/black lab

8:52 am

Lizsark

special should be in inverted commas lol

8:52 am

afflamed

they are my life lol, Oh ya and the kids too

8:52 am

Atalante

it should. I was being lazy :P

8:52 am

Atalante

very "special"

8:53 am

Atalante

do you go to the dog park in Warrenton, aff?

8:53 am

Lizsark

No, just lulling me into a false sense of security

8:53 am

afflamed

labs have the most amazing personalities. like humans

8:53 am

Atalante

he's working up to something spectacular

8:53 am

Lizsark

Thats what worries me!

8:53 am

Atalante

if Os was human, he'd be ......

8:54 am

afflamed

yes sometimes. If i have someone with me to handle all three. The female is show trained so she stays next to me but the males need constant supervision lol

8:54 am

Lizsark

Blimey I wouldn't like to meet a human with Oscars personality ROFL

8:54 am

afflamed

is oscar aggressive?

8:54 am

Atalante

you probably have seen one of my friend's black labs in there at some point

8:54 am

Atalante

now that WOULD be special!

8:55 am

Lizsark

Aggressive!!!! LOL!!!!!! He might lick you to death

8:55 am

Atalante

or barrel you over a cliff

8:55 am

afflamed

more than likely, willow is an english lab so shes short squat and thick, the 2 males are tal and slender = american labs

8:55 am

Lizsark

thats true :)

8:56 am

Lizsark

Oscar is half English bloodlines and half French. He's big and solid, proper old fashioned show type

8:56 am

Atalante

but he's more likely to just fall over himself, as we well know

8:56 am

Atalante

ie he's HUGE

8:56 am

afflamed

my babies are like that too, theyll lick you to death but they sure sound scary when you are on the other side of the front door ))

8:56 am

Lizsark

We went over to Little Sark yesterday and I was retelling the cliff story then :)

8:57 am

Atalante

9:01 am

afflamed

9:04 am

afflamed

it was odd becuz i didnt teach him that, he just came up to me as i was moaning and struggling to stand, nuzzling my hand and standing so stoic in front of me. sure enuf i grabbed his chain and he backed upslowly, at first i thot a fluke, but he did it everytime after that same thing.

9:05 am

crosshair

labs are amazing in that regard afflamed

9:06 am

hurshy

do they, or do they not, sell PRELIT christmas trees???

9:06 am

crosshair

9:09 am

Lizsark

Reading Afflameds posts there - thats why I do all this insane stuff fundraising for Dogs For The Disabled - anyone who can train a dog like Oscar to behave like that must be a miracle worker!!!

9:09 am

hurshy

9:12 am

hurshy

i want to have a little shop! in england!

9:13 am

Lizsark

Oh Aff, I remember now one time when I was really upset about something, Oscar was just young and he trotted off into the other room and came back with his manky teddy and dropped it on my lap :)

9:13 am

crosshair

9:13 am

Atalante

Lizsark

Mine are mainly used books Crossy

9:13 am

hurshy

sorry, i meant UK, anywhere is fine. :)

9:14 am

crosshair

i just love the atmosphere

9:14 am

Lizsark

By a petty little quirk Hurshy we aren't even classed as UK...although apparently we are GB? Go figure that out lol

9:14 am

hurshy

yeah, books is a good kind of shop.

9:14 am

Lizsark

Crossy I love the smell of old books

9:14 am

hurshy

9:14 am

afflamed

9:14 am

Atalante

9:15 am

crosshair

i have several volumes that i actually hate but keep around JUST for the old book smell:)

9:15 am

Lizsark

Its one of the Channel Islands Hurshy

9:15 am

hurshy

a little island, no less. sigh...

9:15 am

Lizsark

Oh Aff, Oscar isn't slow. Sadly! He'd be a lot more manageable!! His problem is he's too smart!

9:16 am

Atalante

and very curious

9:16 am

Lizsark

Hurshy it is 3 miles long, one and a half wide and has 500 people living on it

9:17 am

Atalante

9:17 am

Lizsark

bye Aff

9:18 am

hurshy

and did it... go smoothly? i mean, i know there are some islands, like in the mediterranean, where they aren't very welcoming of newcomers

9:18 am

Lizsark

I think the way its looked at here is that you may be a resident and you are accepted for that but you will never be local unless you are born here!

9:19 am

hurshy

were you on your own or still with parents? was it hard to find a job, place to live?

9:19 am

jacq

it's like that here in the N/E of scottish mainland

9:19 am

Haz1558

I think it's the same here, Liz. It's not that people are unfriendly, and I have lived here for 27 years, but I don't think of myself as coming from here.

9:20 am

Lizsark

No I was offered a job here which was supposedly a seasonal thing. I took it because I had a break before I was due to start my new job after A Levels and College. I never left.

9:20 am

Lizsark

Thats about it Haz :)

9:20 am

crosshair

lol liz we have a island just like that down near the city called toronto island and they are always at war with the rest of "the mainland" because seeing as they do not get any of the city services"water,sewer,garbage pick up" they pay less taxes on thier propertyBUT now the tax reassesment dofferential has slid so much,they are using a tazx base on the island from the 60,s and everyone is fighting to get on the list for the next property that comes up for sale there lol

9:20 am

Lizsark

Don't even get into the tax thing Crossy thats way too complicated lol!!

9:21 am

crosshair

half the time the rest of the area just wants to raze the island and let the seagull have it again

9:21 am

Lizsark

9:24 am

9:24 am

Lizsark

We do not have such a thing here Haz, but since we have little traffic and no crime..... its like going back to the 50's in the UK

9:24 am

Lizsark

er...no Ata, its down the side of my armchair (at the last look)

9:24 am

NonoNanette

not sure about the tax base, but it seems like most of our tax dollors go to support the Island

9:24 am

Atalante

lmao there's a surprise. well you'll have to get the icecream yourself then

9:24 am

crosshair

sounds like a nice place to be liz

9:25 am

9:27 am

Lizsark

(Not a dog story!) I went up to the fire station to have a look at their open day....got given a hose to hold. When they switched it on I was physically lifted into the air and deposited into a tree!!!!! Just by the force of the water.

9:27 am

Really? Thank you Crossy :)

Atalante

I can certainly try! I did ask around friends and helpful people and they are all willing to put some money towards it. and I've got loads of old books to get rid of, I'd take them to my fav 2nd hand shop in Whitstable and guilt them into giving me money for them for the charity. etc.

hi Boo

9:59 am

jacq

9:59 am

jacq

joking aside, i wish you well in this adventure and i'm sure the fear will go as soon as you hit terra firma again, just don't get hooked on the fear lol

10:00 am

hurshy

i am not afraid of heights, particularly, i don't mind being up on high towers or in planes - it's the falling from the heights i might be more leery of.

10:00 am

Lizsark

No fear of that LOL

10:00 am

crosshair

10,000 feet and a tall building is no different,just perspective cause if your chute fails it all ends the same,just a deeper crater;)))

10:00 am

phaeton

Lizsark

Although I did say never again after Jordan....and that was before Peru...

I said I wouldn't start this late if it were a big grid. But guys... this isn't a big grid, is it??
Evening all.

2:18 pm

o-o

Hello, sprite

2:18 pm

lynxxx

hi Sprite...not so big and really not so hard - after you find the words

2:18 pm

Aloyisius

hi sprite, hi Babblers.. hi BR!

2:19 pm

sprite

hi BabbleRabble, glad to see you

2:19 pm

lynxxx

hi Aloy

2:19 pm

sprite

thanks lyn, glad I started then :)
Hey Aloy! Terra is doing rather well, doesn't show any pain anymore. I am hopeful!

2:19 pm

o-o

Hello, Aloy and lyn

2:19 pm

torgone

Yes .. Once you find all the words, this puzzle is not so tough ..

2:20 pm

lynxxx

hi Tor

2:20 pm

Aloyisius

hi lynxxx! oh, Sprite.. very good news re Terra!

2:20 pm

sprite

that goes for most puzzles, I've found.
Hiya torg :)

2:21 pm

sprite

halfway September we are due back to the vet and then we will hear more. If necessary, x-rays will be made then to see how bad it is. But if all is fine, no x-rays. Because Terra must be sedated for x-rays.

2:22 pm

Aloyisius

do you feed her any supplements , like glucosamine chondroitin?

2:22 pm

lynxxx

what has been wrong with Terra Sprite? hips?

2:23 pm

sprite

yes, very painful hips and way too much space in them. But at his age, it can all still change for the better. We discourage his jumping and standing on his hindlegs.

2:23 pm

sprite

no I don't... that is something I use myself, actually. Is it there for dogs as well?

2:24 pm

Atalante

glucosamine can make the difference between almost not being able to move and bouncing about for Hobbit

2:24 pm

sprite

will check it out, thanks for the tip Aloy!

2:24 pm

Aloyisius

our neighbor had great success with it for his G. Shepherd, so we tried it with our old lab.. and it did help

2:24 pm

lynxxx

a form of glucosamine is very commonly recommended for dogs here too

2:24 pm

lynxxx

hi Ata

2:24 pm

sprite

wonderful, thanks all

2:25 pm

Aloyisius

mixed recs from vets, so I say it can't hurt to try

2:25 pm

Atalante

and yes, dogs can take the human glucosamine, just make sure of the dosage. it's often cheaper than buying special animal stuff

2:25 pm

sprite

how much do you give Hobbit, Ata?

2:26 pm

Atalante

um. let me go check

2:26 pm

Aloyisius

I think I remember 1000 mg .. large dog tho

2:27 pm

2:28 pm

Aussieme

ps, hey Lynx :)

2:28 pm

Aussieme

and Hey BabRab, nice to see you

2:28 pm

Atalante

she has 225mg daily, Terra should have half her amount according to size. But she does have up to 2 or 3 times that dose daily when she's having difficulties

2:28 pm

Aussieme

and ATA !!!!! Are you counting down to Oxonmoot yet ?

2:28 pm

Atalante

absolutely! I'm making stuff for Oxonmoot as we speak!

2:29 pm

Aloyisius

we used to grind it up and put it in his food

2:29 pm

Aussieme

WOOT WOOT !!

2:29 pm

sprite

all written down! Thanks a lot!

2:30 pm

Atalante

it really has made a *huge* difference to Hobbit

2:30 pm

Aloyisius

big difference for Taz, too.. he would lose his stiffness

2:30 pm

Atalante

her tabs have 225mg glucosamine adn 162g chondroitin per tablet

2:30 pm

crosshair

small public service anouncement.....NEVER BUY A MICROSOFT BRAND WIRELESS KEYBOARD AND MOUSE!!..had to return it and get another brand

2:31 pm

Bugsaw

Nevermind..... found it

2:32 pm

sprite

just asking usually does the trick, Bugsaw ;)

2:32 pm

Aloyisius

yup, that's the key

2:32 pm

Bugsaw

It sure did this time. But when it is a REAL fish, it doesn't work.

2:32 pm

sprite

beautiful icon, Bugsaw.

2:33 pm

sprite

ah, but fishes are an exception to every rule :)

2:33 pm

Bugsaw

Well put, sprite. thanks

2:33 pm

phantom: gaberlunzie

2:34 pm

sprite

gaberlunzie? Ok... *off to see what that might be*

2:34 pm

Aloyisius

not in my dict, lol

2:35 pm

Bugsaw

I think it is BR's middle name

2:35 pm

sprite

medieval scots for a licenced beggar :)

2:35 pm

o-o

a wandering or licensed beggar

2:35 pm

sprite

yayyy!

2:35 pm

Aloyisius

interesting, ty sprite

2:35 pm

Bugsaw

Wow! I like that one BR. Thanks

2:36 pm

Aloyisius

guess it has too many letters for a Scrabble dict.. or is it proper name?

2:36 pm

sprite

also spelled Gaberlunyie

2:37 pm

sprite

medieval scots might not be in the Scrabble dict though

2:38 pm

Aloyisius

found three birds in the grid so far, all hang around the ocean

2:38 pm

Atalante

oh sprite - if you buy glucosamine from the vet, it's very expensive. there are cheaper sources, you just need to check the dosage. Internet, local pet shops etc

2:38 pm

sprite

another new word learned and another Babble day justified. Thanks BabbleRabble.

2:38 pm

o-o

a great online resource: http://www.onelook.com/

2:39 pm

sprite

thanks Ata, I will. Might even start at the local herb etc store here. They know a lot about stuff like this. Nature shop?

2:39 pm

sprite

thanks Aloy!

2:39 pm

Aloyisius

ty BR.. made a note of that

2:40 pm

sprite

that's where I always look when the ? is a dead end.

2:40 pm

Aloyisius

yw.. yes, I agree with Ata.. we found a huge diff. in the prices.. just bought from a discount store.. worked fine

2:40 pm

Atalante

I get mine from the local huge pet superstore place. It's about 3 times cheaper than the vet. And sister gets her from an online vitamins and minerals shop!

2:41 pm

o-o

Your icon is quite amusing, sprite

2:41 pm

sprite

perfect! I will check it all out and make sure Terra starts on it tomorrow.

2:41 pm

Atalante

it really should help

2:41 pm

sprite

thank you, BabbleRabble :)
I needed a smile and thought I'd share.

2:42 pm

Aloyisius

crossing my fingers for you

2:42 pm

sprite

thank you, Aloy, it will help!

2:43 pm

Atalante

it does take a few days at least to kick in, don't expect instant results

2:43 pm

Aloyisius

true.. give it a few days

2:43 pm

sprite

I won't, will give it time to work its way in.

2:44 pm

Atalante

but not too many days, it's pretty quick. it usually works for Hobbit overnight, but she's used to taking it

2:44 pm

o-o

How is your finger doing, Aloyisius?

2:45 pm

Aloyisius

ok, BR.. only sore when I move it.. (-:

2:45 pm

sprite

which is a nuisance with babbling! *sends healing vibes to Aloy's finger*

2:46 pm

sprite

I bet 'reptile' has been called as today's phantom before now

2:46 pm

Aloyisius

ty sprite, and ty BR for asking.. it really is more nuisance than anything.. good excuse for typos tho (-:

2:47 pm

Atalante

oh yes :)

2:47 pm

sprite

your icon is pretty amazing, Ata. Who's hugging a deer there?

2:48 pm

Atalante

me!

< puffs up with pride > ... no false modesty here today...;-)

7:09 pm

flosey

the company was very good to s-i-l when daughter was having their first child, let him take time off and kept him close to home (no travelling) throughout - guess he just wanted to repay their kindness and understanding

7:11 pm

TraderKate

i'd like to work for a company like that. mine beats us like rented mules

7:11 pm

flosey

there's certainly no justice there Kate, sorry to hear it

7:12 pm

no justice indeed, yet we soldier on

7:33 pm

72 Temple Owl

7:33 pm

TraderKate

7:34 pm

TraderKate

easy peasy TO

7:35 pm

TraderKate

quite a greek chorus at times re: going pro, don't see other grey heads being asked so much?

7:35 pm

kje

not true... we ask all that stay here for any length of time

7:37 pm

TraderKate

sometimes it can be quite snippy - not you

7:38 pm

kje

take it as a compliment - you have become enough of the group that people ask you to commit : )

7:38 pm

Uniquity

I was grey for a year and some before one of my fave babblers ever saved me. trust me, we have all heard the request and it is honestly, quite reasonable.

7:39 pm

kje

hi uni

7:39 pm

kje

what's the green monster for?

7:40 pm

Uniquity

Oh, the list *is* coming up late in the day? Perhaps I'll get a grid done again sometime before summer ends.

7:40 pm

TraderKate

do not argue with reasonableness of cost. sometimes you all need to think outside your own sense of what cash strapped is

7:40 pm

o-o

I have to laugh, I asked to leave more often than I was asked to stay.

7:40 pm

kje

yes, lickety has been busy, but usually gets around to posting it later... i imagine he is overwhlemed

7:40 pm

Uniquity

It's from a website - you build your own M&M. It's been up for a while, I haven't been around enough to remember to update.

7:40 pm

o-o

I was asked, that is

7:41 pm

kje

build your own M&M - lol

7:41 pm

TraderKate

expect i'll be asked to leave soon enough

7:41 pm

kje

hard to believe that br

7:41 pm

Uniquity

TK - I am a fourth year university student with a 60 k debt load and my store just closed so I am jobless. Please understand that many/most of us have an idea of budgetting.

7:41 pm

kje

TK - I have NEVER seen anypne asked to leave... I apologize for saying anything... had no idea it would start all this

7:42 pm

TraderKate

but would you spend the money now if you were not already signed up?

7:42 pm

72 Temple Owl

hey uni!

7:43 pm

Uniquity

I never spent the money at all. Thus my statement that one of my fave babblers saved me. I was apparently so in demand that she decided to sponsor me. Hey TO!!!!

7:43 pm

TraderKate

no apology necessary kje, like you very much....just makes me feel bad that can't pay now....am made to feel cheap

7:43 pm

72 Temple Owl

I do not make a habit of lying

7:44 pm

72 Temple Owl

kate: do as you please. i played for a long timebefore i joined.

7:44 pm

Uniquity

If you are here after more than a few weeks/months than you will see many others suggested/requested to go pro. It is a long standing tradition probably stemming from the many trolls that used to frequent this former haven.

7:45 pm

kje

oh,has it gone up? i payed 995 i think.. that was a year and a half ago

7:45 pm

Uniquity

Greyheads used to get lost in the shuffle of chat. Not so much anymore.

7:46 pm

Uniquity

TO - How've you been, anyway? I rarely end up being about when you are here.

7:46 pm

kje

speaking of which, how is school, uni?

7:46 pm

TraderKate

have been here, what 10 days? 2 weeks? little early for the hard sell, doin't you think then

7:46 pm

72 Temple Owl

i am ok. only play nights and weekends as i can,now

7:47 pm

TraderKate

thank you TO

7:47 pm

TraderKate

surely, no one thinks i am a troll?

7:48 pm

Uniquity

School doesn't start again for a week and a half. Since the store closed a week ago, I spent some time at my fathers visiting and I am am off to Lori's tomorrow for a week.

7:48 pm

TraderKate

think it's 14.99 u.s. kje, not much more....

7:48 pm

kje

oooo - fun... party while you can!

7:48 pm

72 Temple Owl

oh no, you lost your job?

7:48 pm

Uniquity

I find that presence in chat tends to dictate the requests for prodom as opposed to length of residence. There are fascinating and useless studies to be done here.

7:49 pm

kje

well - i guess if you don't chat, no one knows you are there - LOL

7:49 pm

72 Temple Owl

i agree! so take it as a sign of affection.

7:49 pm

o-o

why chat is you are going to called a liar

7:50 pm

72 Temple Owl

cr6 pls? ty

7:50 pm

kje

i agree TO - no one asks the annoying ones to go pro - LOLOL

7:50 pm

Uniquity

The store went out of business after a number of years in trouble. It was very hard for everyone (surprisingly so). We are all trying to figure out what to do now, :(

7:50 pm

Uneaixoise

7:51 pm

o-o

there are differing opinions about who is annoying

7:51 pm

kje

troll?

7:51 pm

Uniquity

perhaps there was a 47 on the end? I don't remember for sure. Ask Haz about her...fun to wind her up. She was quite young and quite harpy about things.

7:51 pm

72 Temple Owl

no one asked me but then again there was more diversity then

7:51 pm

TraderKate

7:52 pm

kje

well... no stupid harrassment usually = not troll

7:52 pm

Uniquity

Chat is very different now, even in the 2-3 years since I started. So many who have come and gone. There is still a strong core though.

7:52 pm

kje

LOL une!!! funny icon

7:53 pm

72 Temple Owl

7:53 pm

Uneaixoise

7:54 pm

Uneaixoise

i guess . . .

7:54 pm

Uniquity

TO, there are many places hiring for part time work, but very few I am interested in. I am going to be doing some volunteering and am debating if I can go the term without paid work as I would like to focus on school right now.

7:54 pm

kje

no, the danes were teenagers wanting shock value... nasty buggers

7:54 pm

7:55 pm

Uniquity

The Aussie KBs were introoduced to babble by a teacher - who did not monitor them at all. They used to return once every few months during the school year to shock us with their teenage antics. we have had similar groups from many countries :)

7:56 pm

Uneaixoise

7:56 pm

Uniquity

I intend to stay with bookstores, libraries, publishers and the like if at all possible. Money is not yet an issue as I am a saver so I am doing what feels right.

7:57 pm

Perhaps you should just pretend to make some marmalade, Andree! Might be easier on yourself and your pots.

7:57 pm

redturtlehead

Afternoon people. SHould I start with only one or so hours to do grid, and dinner to force on myself?

7:57 pm

8:11 pm

Then some other guy wrote a book or two in the last few years to continue the franchise in books, but most people hated it.

8:11 pm

yes, kate -- that IS how it works. but this time we understand the mechanism, and in theory we have the means to prevent its rapid spread through relatively simple, relatively inexpensive means. BUT the question is whether we have the will, collectively, to do what we know is the right thing.

L A perfect for teaching...and allows you so much latitude in study choice...

11:46 pm

stidmama

I do understand a lot of the microbiology, having been around it for nearly 30 years peripherally... but it's not my field of study. IF I were to do science, it would be chemistry. organic chemistry. OR I would be a naturalist with an emphasis on plants. I love plants.

11:46 pm

TraderKate

won't be heading up PTA then stid? haha

11:46 pm

Pinikula

I don't think I'm going to make it
