you wouldn't think that whiskey would work but soco mixes REALLY well

1:20 am

vashongin

same here arb...i'll look some more

1:20 am

jaianniah

lemon juice helps too but only if you like it sour...

1:20 am

TraderKate

1:21 am

TraderKate

like whiskey sours

1:21 am

dart001

TraderKate

1:24 am

jaianniah

i'm of the opinion that you either drink to drink with friends...i.e. fruity girl drinks...or just get right to it

1:24 am

jaianniah

me personally i like to start with straight 151 and then just sip on drinks...its a good way to make the rest of the night not seem so bad...

Dee - for future reference, do I have to type each word stat separately or is there a way of bulk listing?

2:43 am

TraderKate

really jai-not? does a power bar help?

2:44 am

TraderKate

Dee, you're my hero!

2:44 am

jaianniah

if you mean for the modem disconnects not really, not in her case anyway

2:44 am

TraderKate

we may take up that collection for you yet jai-not... ;-)

2:44 am

VolleymomDee

I have never found a shortcut; I copy and paste the whole thing (like you did at first); then I go back and delete the letters I don't want; then update

2:44 am

jaianniah

it will keep the modem from blinking sure but the hardline running into the wall is another story

2:45 am

jaianniah

honestly she should just get a surge protector and run the line from the modem to it and out from the protector to the wall

2:45 am

TraderKate

don't know what i mean...don't speak geek

2:45 am

anike

OK - I'll have a practice go

2:45 am

VolleymomDee

I haven't found a shortcut yet :(

2:46 am

jaianniah

heheh, i was a geek straight from the womb

2:46 am

jaianniah

what i mean to say is, because the telephone wire that plugs into her modem is into the wall instead of a surge protector, any time thunder strikes it will reset the connection

2:47 am

TraderKate

that's what i meant by power bar....

2:48 am

jaianniah

ah, there is a common misconception that a power bar and a surge protector are the same thing, power bars (i.e. the plain white power strips with nothing but plug-ins) don't actually protect against anything getting fried, they just let you power more stuff

2:48 am

TraderKate

am geek, just computer clueless. funny thing , studied computer programming/ systems design ..but the commadore 64 wads state of the art at the time...no such thing as a mouse

2:48 am

jaianniah

a surge protector (usually the big grey bulky ones) have circuits inside that trip when it gets a huge jolt...usually frying the protector but saving your computer

2:49 am

jaianniah

aha, old school geek, i respect that

2:49 am

jaianniah

i'm past the pong era but not by very much... we still had green screens in elementary school

herinfernallady

Jac Kids do that

3:52 am

herinfernallady

hi Andree

3:53 am

3:53 am

jacq

sorry, am just upset

3:53 am

TraderKate

accidentally spill your coffee on him maybe/ that'll make him talk

3:54 am

herinfernallady

Kids are really horrid some times

3:54 am

jacq

not being available tonight to babysit will maybe make him think, but i'll wait till after my daughter goes out first

3:54 am

herinfernallady

HOw old is kidbrat?

3:55 am

jacq

the moody one is 18, the cute one is 15 months and the other slightly less moody one whi is mine is also 18

3:55 am

TraderKate

3:55 am

herinfernallady

Oh dear

3:56 am

jacq

3:56 am

TraderKate

15 mos. is good age...

3:56 am

jacq

it's a brilliant age, so cute and funny

3:56 am

3:58 am

jacq

he's doing an apprenticeship, has to go away to edinburgh one week a month

3:58 am

TraderKate

Andree

TraderKate

4:35 am

Andree

anytime kate

4:36 am

TraderKate

i probably mis-remember. there was a very lively chat yesterday thought you were a part of it.

4:37 am

jacq

the chog was very busy yesterday, probably because the grid was so hard

4:37 am

jacq

todays seems a little better

4:37 am

TraderKate

still trying to keep everyone straight...it's very difficult for me. especially without a face to match it to.

4:37 am

4:39 am

Haz1558

un5 -take down the washing

4:40 am

Haz1558

I know, Andree, the intelligent things to say defeats me sometimes as well.

4:40 am

gortmold

4:40 am

zoozzoom

LOL, Haz..all the time for me..lol

4:40 am

Andree

4:42 am

Haz1558

Any results?

4:43 am

jacq

wtg gort and bye

4:43 am

gortmold

andree: is this because you are mean to your pets or have applied to work for them?

4:43 am

TraderKate

bye gort, enjoy

4:44 am

TraderKate

re: landlord's permission

4:44 am

TraderKate

4:44 am

gortmold

thanks all for your company, nighty night

4:44 am

trisha_ZA

hello everyone

4:44 am

Haz1558

Hello trisha.

4:45 am

jacq

hello trisha

4:45 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Trisha

4:45 am

TraderKate

hi trish

4:45 am

trisha_ZA

i'm struggling with this grid today

4:45 am

TraderKate

you're not alone

4:45 am

Andree

they are going to arrange for me to meet some dogs and go from there, they take themselves very seriosly

4:46 am

jacq

i got to half way and now feel bogged down

4:46 am

Andree

they haven't worked out i rent i'm still dodging that one

4:47 am

Haz1558

Yes, the taking themselves seriously is important.

4:47 am

Andree

gort, i have no pet to be mean to,lol

4:47 am

TraderKate

same this side of the pond andree. when animals have been abandoned/abused they check prospective care-givers very meticulously

4:48 am

trisha_ZA

TraderKate what side of the pond are you?

4:48 am

Andree

the problem is the kids, as they have no history on most of these dogs they don't know how they will be with kids

4:48 am

TraderKate

just tell them yes. if landlord doesn't like it tell him honestly, you're only watching for a while

4:48 am

TraderKate

how old are yoiur kids?

4:49 am

Andree

they have suggested when i go to meet dogs i take daughter and kids with me

4:49 am

TraderKate

n. america - canada

4:49 am

Andree

kate my oldest is 40,lol

4:49 am

Haz1558

Are the children used to dogs?

4:50 am

TraderKate

oh...prospective adopter's kids...

4:50 am

Haz1558

To be honest, Andree, although most people here rave about the merits of dog rescue etc, the fact that you don't always know the history or temperament of a prospective adopted dog does worry me.

4:50 am

Andree

they are haz , juliette's ex husband has their dog a lovely border collie and he was there before children

4:51 am

Haz1558

That's an advantage then, they'll know what not to do.

4:51 am

Andree

i agree haz, when they were going on about it today i wondered if i should just go to a breeder

4:52 am

jacq

generally a dog that has had t be rescued had been damaged

4:53 am

Haz1558

It's your choice, Andree, and for you to make the decision, if that's what you would feel happier with. Choose your breed carefully, choose your breeder carefully and seek advice from vets who know which breeds to avoid.

4:53 am

Andree

kate my daughter and i live together and she has 2 small children so their input is important

4:53 am

jacq

and since all abuse types cause psych damage i would be very careful, my daughter got a golden retriever, it was as good as gold till it saw a child or a cat

4:53 am

TraderKate

sometimes just neglected...people didn;t have necessary time...

4:53 am

jacq

the vet and the dog trainer said they had never seen anything like it

4:54 am

trisha_ZA

jacq we had the same experience with a dog from the spca, my daughter was 5 at the time

4:54 am

jacq

scary as anything

4:54 am

Haz1558

I'm not saying never to get a dog from a rescue place - I just feel people should have the choice where they get their dog from without being made to feel guilty. There are pros and cons on both sides of the argument.

4:54 am

jacq

i agree haz, completely

4:54 am

TraderKate

i understand now..thought you were applying to "baby-sit" rescued dogs until adopted out...wrong end of stick

4:55 am

trisha_ZA

absolutely Haz

4:55 am

trisha_ZA

ok am out of here for now bye everyone

4:55 am

jacq

bye trisha

4:55 am

Haz1558

Bye trisha.

4:55 am

TraderKate

bye trish

4:56 am

o-o

I find it rather incredible that people can have children and be married with less scrutiny than it takes to rescue a dog

4:56 am

jacq

lol i agree BR

4:57 am

Haz1558

I hear you, BabbleRabble.

4:57 am

Andree

i won't be made to feel guilty, i don't even know anyone who has a rescue pet other than babble, everyone i know have got their pets from a pet shop or breeder

4:57 am

TraderKate

ah, but adopt a child and you will be the recipient of the same sort of scrutiny

4:57 am

Haz1558

Good for you, Andree, it's your choice, you decide what's best for your situation.

4:57 am

Andree

so true babble

4:58 am

Haz1558

The safety of the children is your priority.

4:58 am

Andree

lol kate i have one of those too

4:59 am

TraderKate

i have known several excellent dogs that came from the shelters...but there are ocassional stories of the bad ones

4:59 am

Andree

i just have cold feet since i got the spiel about their dogs and children, even if i didn't live with 2 of them i still have 7 grandchildren whose safety is vital

4:59 am

TraderKate

so you know...it's important that the next home be the last home...

5:00 am

TraderKate

surely this is not an irrevocable decision?

5:00 am

Haz1558

I agree, Andree.

5:01 am

jacq

see how the dogs react to the children and let the children be themselves

5:01 am

jacq

you will know right away

5:01 am

TraderKate

if you fimd the dog can't be with children you should have no compunction about bringing it backi. after all, you are trying to provide a home for an animal...if they can't provide you with the info necessary info how can yu make an informed decision?

5:02 am

elder

Hello Sprite.. good to see you after such a long time. re you all well.. including your puppy who I suspect is growing rapidly..

5:07 am

jacq

we're fine here and it seems the waters are receeding

5:07 am

TraderKate

good afternoon sprite

5:07 am

sprite

jacq, that is good news

5:07 am

jacq

but a lot of homes were damaged

5:08 am

TraderKate

5:08 am

jacq

my son-in-law said there were cars flating about and a works van on it's roof, and that was just what he saw with the distance he managed to travel

5:08 am

sprite

elder, no, am not well, alas. But puppy seems to be fine. Apart from his hips, which are still to be rechecked, he is in beaming health.
How about you?

5:08 am

jacq

osed to be here before 12

5:09 am

elder

Jacq, thank goodness I read that many people were evacuated.. rivers bursting banks...

5:09 am

jacq

supposed

5:10 am

jacq

400 homes in elgin, 50 in fochabers and this corner was closed off completely the A96 was barely pasable at best in both directions as was the A95, those are the main roads from aberdeen to inverness and the feeder road for this whole area

5:10 am

jacq

as far as i know no-one was hurt

5:10 am

Andree

5:10 am

5:10 am

5:11 am

sprite

bye for now Andree, enjoy your meal and good luck with what is happening to you (couldn't see in chat, just that something was(

5:11 am

elder

Bye for now Andree.

5:11 am

TraderKate

bye andree, good luck

5:12 am

elder

Jacq, are those the areas that would be effected with heavy snow falls.

5:12 am

Andree

sprite, didn't see post about being unwell, get better soon

5:12 am

sprite

got great advice here on food supplements for Terra. And I will have Xrays taken next week. Also full blood test. Doc fears there is nerve damage coming from lower back (feet are losing their feeling).

5:13 am

jacq

sometimes, it all depends on wind direction, if it comes from the sea then the snow won't lie more than a few hours, but if it comes from the hills then we can have loads of snow

5:13 am

jacq

sprite, i hope they find the root of it and you have a a speedy recovery

5:14 am

sprite

thanks Andree

5:14 am

elder

Sprite, am really sorry to hear that, so I truly hope that the results are better and Terra's condition can be assisted, what a worry and expense.

5:15 am

sprite

thanks jacq, so do I. It is probably the reason I can't walk properly anymore. Would love to have it remedied.

5:16 am

elder

Sprite I understand a great deal abut nerve damage from the back and its impact on mobility, so I wish all the very best.

5:17 am

sprite

but I am very glad that you are ok jacq, and that, as far as possible, the personal damage to your community is not as bad as it could have been

5:18 am

sprite

elder, I know! Was thinking of you when I heard. How are you doing at the moment?

5:18 am

jacq

my own community has been largly unaffected i think it's the people in elgin and forress and other areas, they have built houses ona natural flood plane for the river spey and the river lossie

5:20 am

elder

Sprite, have had a rough three/ four weeks re the back and then flu.. making good progress and expect to return to work in the next week or so. Just need to get back some energy and brain cells.

5:21 am

elder

Jacq, lots of problems in most areas due to building on natural flood plains..,the locals know so why don't he councils ??um...

5:21 am

sprite

it is an awful combination, elder, a back condition and flu, I know. It feels like back to square one or worse. But once you get your energy built back on it will become better again. And LOL at braincells. Don't I know that feeling!

5:22 am

jacq

the trouble is we haven't ever had such long wet winters and summers so people got complacent

5:22 am

jacq

now if you apply to build a house they trawl the records for any history or record of even a small flood

5:22 am

elder

Thanks Sprite ::) and you to .

5:23 am

jacq

brb

5:23 am

elder

Jaqc, better late never, I suppose.

5:24 am

sprite

I was wondering, jacq, didn't want to say it might not be smart to build there. But yes, that is how it goes. When a bad thing doesn't happen for a long time, the threat of it lessens.

5:25 am

jacq

i agree elder, but the part that makes me really angry is that our council has allowed these people to build on this land and have built their own houses on this land yet their own insurance company won't cover these people for flood damage now

5:25 am

sprite

that is unfair

5:26 am

jacq

i was speaking to a nurse from elgin and her whole pay goes on insurance premiums

5:26 am

jacq

that is so sad

5:27 am

jacq

it's part of a council tennants agreement that they will have insurance for buildings and contents, if you don't have this you can be evicted

5:28 am

jacq

47 left and i think i need another coffee and ciggie perhaps

5:28 am

elder

The councils should and do know better know they have all the info... goodness knows where the local councils are planning to build the thousands of houses/accommodation required particularly in the South / S.E.

5:31 am

jacq

they are building new houses here elder, on a field that floods every time it rains heavily, it's at the bottom of a slope which is at the foot of the hills

5:31 am

jacq

they are building new houses here elder, on a field that floods every time it rains heavily, it's at the bottom of a slope which is at the foot of the hills

5:37 am

elder

5:38 am

elder

5:38 am

sprite

5:39 am

5:57 am

Jacula

'Fraid it is, Sprite. Need fresh veg that I can't pick from the garden.

5:57 am

sprite

just found pagode/pagodes. Those elegant chinese/japanese shrine buildings. Isn't that an english word or is enable being daft again?

5:58 am

elder

Here on the south east coast we have had very little rain over the last month and its telling on the garden.

5:58 am

Jacula

It ends with a different vowel, sprite. (And thanks!)

5:58 am

sprite

too bad, Jac. For me, best is to do it right away then and afterwards reward myself with lazing about. What works for you?

5:58 am

Jacula

Hadn't spotted those. *grins*

5:58 am

sprite

Awwwww I apologise! Shzzzz I am really stupid today. Thanks Jac, and sorry everyone.

5:59 am

Jacula

Either works, sprite. But I'm still in my tea in the morning phase at the moment.

5:59 am

LOL, Kate, are those your eyes spying?

7:47 am

TraderKate

good, just another typo , courtesy of me.
^_^

7:47 am

Scrabbler

It was magnificent--sunny, hot, a beautiful lake. We found a nice spot to relax with lunch, reading + swimming. And we made a campfire, not for the warmth but for the nice smell.

7:48 am

Wolvie

sounds wonderful - pics up on FB?

7:48 am

TraderKate

i was in babanon and noticed that the first of every month is bunny day...very nice ; but what are you a founding member or something?

7:49 am

TraderKate

jealous...except that nothing smells worse than a campfire once you're away fom if and have had a shower...

7:49 am

Scrabbler

Nope, it is to celebrate my new job. My last day is Monday, Sept 28th. I will escape an egomaniacal, critical, bullying boss.

7:50 am

Scrabbler

I am not one of the oldsters here--I have been here 3 yrs and some 4 or more. I forget when Babble was born.

7:50 am

TraderKate

hurray for that...just thought it was every month...it is every month posted..glad yu're getting away. did the personal days issue get straightened out?

7:51 am

TraderKate

at least 2005..the icon themes have been going that long

7:51 am

TraderKate

do you have any time off between jobs?

7:51 am

Scrabbler

I have to edit my letter and then e-mail it--probably tomorrow. I am basically presenting the options.

7:54 am

Scrabbler

Wow, cool, Kate! Subway? Other trains?

7:54 am

Scrabbler

Kate, primary care physicians, especially pediatricians ARE overworked and underpaid.

7:54 am

TraderKate

good for shock value when i meet new people. all the people on face book are almost all guys i work wiyh

7:55 am

Scrabbler

My father is a mechanical engineer and when we were kids we would tell our friends, "My father is an engineer but NOT the kind that drives a train." We really didn't know what kind of engineer he was though.

7:55 am

TraderKate

no, like your n & W or chessie, burlinton northern etc. big honking 18,000 foot, 20,000 ton freight trains.

8:12 am

kje

8:12 am

TraderKate

you talking about those taco vans? someone was talking about those one of my first days here

8:12 am

redturtlehead

LOL, but I thin kyou said that one was awesome?

8:13 am

kje

it is awesome... she kept saying, no, that's OK, you don't have to do anything

8:13 am

kje

so I said, no worries, I am tonly talking about eating at the gas station... she said, OK then

8:13 am

redturtlehead

taco vans and the local taquerias are usually the bes,t but I dont think they are present in Western NY, unless it has really changed....

8:14 am

TraderKate

not sure what taquerias is, but think not

8:14 am

Scrabbler

There are hot dog vendors--downtown, but no taco vans that I know of. Yes, Kate, Ted's Hot Dogs are everywhere in WNY

8:14 am

TraderKate

no taco vans, i'm sure

8:15 am

kje

these tacos are 2 small home-made corn tortillas (usually 3 inches or so), meet of choice, onion, cilantro... then you put salt and lime on them

8:15 am

TraderKate

yippeeeeeee for ted's

8:15 am

redturtlehead

its a taco place, in Spanish. Taco Van very popular in Seattle, and also here in FL.

8:15 am

TraderKate

the 'kraut...and the chili and the cheese

8:16 am

TraderKate

a place you go in and sit down? or take out counter?

8:16 am

redturtlehead

Arrrugh, No Gouda in grid.

8:16 am

TraderKate

no redam either...

8:16 am

redturtlehead

Its a Van, so you just but and go, but in the gas stations ones there are usually a few tables.

8:16 am

TraderKate

someone else already tried...never takes it

8:17 am

kje

less than 1/3 with tables... most just sit on the curb and eat

8:17 am

TraderKate

so the mom and pop ones are the best...just look for the crowd of locals?

8:17 am

kje

argon

8:17 am

kje

argons

8:17 am

kje

oops

8:17 am

kje

damn

8:17 am

redturtlehead

TY kje.

8:17 am

kje

b-bye

8:18 am

TraderKate

leaving kje?

8:18 am

TraderKate

or to PB

8:18 am

redturtlehead

kje, are you still present? I have a question.

8:18 am

kje

leaving chog

8:18 am

Scrabbler

TY, kje

8:19 am

kje

what red?

8:19 am

TraderKate

ty kje

8:20 am

TraderKate

we lost red?

8:20 am

redturtlehead

I asked scrabbs, but seeing as you deal more in BP. I the morning I am having BP of say 120/87 to 120/90 by afternoon its like 117/71. Heart rate is like 45, should I be worried??

8:20 am

kje

hey krispy kreme in the grid... kinda makes me want one

8:20 am

kje

worried about what?

8:20 am

redturtlehead

the pressure of 120/90.

8:21 am

kje

BP fluctuates through out the day, DBP > 90 is not good, but that data is sustained BPs, not occasional ones.... no one would treat you at that level

8:22 am

TraderKate

scrabs....can't scroll back to start of our chat...you had a friend there?

8:22 am

kje

my advice... stop taking it so much

8:22 am

kje

seriously

8:22 am

redturtlehead

I tend to worry because of my Moms odd Stroke years ago.

8:23 am

kje

how old is mom, and what do you mean by odd

8:23 am

TraderKate

bp always highest in am...that's when most heart attacks happen 7-10 am. regular circadian rhythm dives in afternoon..so does bp

8:24 am

redturtlehead

My Mom is about 70, but she had an event where she lost al hearing in one ear, went to Hopkins for eval and they concluded she had a very odd CVA based on her symptoms at the time, etc.

8:24 am

kje

localized CVA... lacunar infarct

8:24 am

kje

red... you are not 70 ; )

8:25 am

redturtlehead

Yes, trader, I know but a pressure of 90 is never good.

8:25 am

redturtlehead

No but this occurred when she was about 55.

8:25 am

TraderKate

kje is right...but i'm no doic

8:25 am

redturtlehead

kje is doc.

8:26 am

kje

but, no, I do not think you should be concerned with those numbers currently... but if you wanted to do something, decrease your sodium intake to less than 2g daily - excellent evidence for prevention with that

8:26 am

TraderKate

like temp...there is a range not a hard number for normal

8:26 am

TraderKate

yes

8:27 am

redturtlehead

I will try that kje, though it may be hard...I'm using a lot of sodium infused gels with the running....that could even be the issue.

8:27 am

kje

and if you feel you must do more, then I would suggest a baby asa daily. In women, asa is more effective at preventing CVA than MI, opposite in men BTW, but given your low RF and younger age, the evidence does not require you to treat so young

8:27 am

Scrabbler

Kate, I have a friend that lives on Depew Ave--train is in backyard.

8:27 am

kje

are you taking your BP pre or post run?

8:28 am

redturtlehead

I only take it on Non running days.

8:28 am

kje

RF = risk factors, BTW

8:28 am

kje

how far are you running daily, red?

8:28 am

kje

or however often

8:28 am

redturtlehead

About 20 miles a week. ABout to increase to 30 soon.

8:28 am

Anniebrook

hi, kje, what is a baby asa?

8:29 am

Anniebrook

asprin, I think/

8:29 am

kje

in 3-4 runs?

8:29 am

redturtlehead

Hiiiii Annie! Serves up peets to Annie, kje and Scrabbler and Kate if they want!!!!

8:29 am

Anniebrook

and hello everyone

8:29 am

redturtlehead

Yes kje.

8:29 am

TraderKate

low dose aspirin

8:29 am

redturtlehead

its usually 7-8 miles.

8:29 am

Anniebrook

Oh How lovely, thank you red

8:29 am

TraderKate

ty, red...will happily accept

8:30 am

kje

acetyl salicilic acid (ASA) aspirin, knew red would know that

8:30 am

redturtlehead

Scrabbler? are you going kayacking today?

8:30 am

Scrabbler

GM Annie!

8:30 am

kje

at that mileage you really shouldn't need salt gels... I bet if you stop them your BP comes down

8:31 am

TraderKate

sports drinks or water + banana/orange?

8:31 am

Scrabbler

Yep, new place for us = 18-Mile Creek from Burt Dam to Lake Ontario and back. Supposed to be a nice paddle.

8:31 am

Anniebrook

Hi Scrabbler

8:31 am

Scrabbler

I take a baby ASA qd.

8:31 am

redturtlehead

its the heat kje, I am losing a pound per mile which is extreme...

8:31 am

kje

gm annie - long time... how are you? and yes, I am drinking my peets as we speak

8:31 am

TraderKate

why scrabs?

8:32 am

Anniebrook

I just ordered another pound of Peet's..love that coffee

8:32 am

kje

you lose 7 punds per run??? seriously?

8:32 am

kje

what kind annie?

8:32 am

redturtlehead

the gel is much easier digested while running kate.

8:32 am

Anniebrook

Still on the House Blend

8:32 am

redturtlehead

Yes kje, its hot hot hot and humid here.

8:33 am

TraderKate

fla...thought you were more north, like n/eng

8:33 am

Scrabbler

A cardiologist friend advised that I take a baby aspirin daily despite being in my 40's because I went into menopause at 43--ovaries removed

8:33 am

Scrabbler

*stunned at red's wt loss when running*

8:33 am

kje

usually runners will adapt to the environment and sweat composition and volume changes appropriately... I would have thought you would have adapted by now

8:34 am

TraderKate

i see...didn't realize u were in that heat

8:34 am

kje

me too scrab... that is very unusual

8:34 am

TraderKate

all water scrabs...well mostly probably

8:35 am

kje

annie - my new fave is the new guniea... delish! but I think I like mine more robust than you do

8:35 am

Anniebrook

When is the best time to take a baby aspirin? AM, PM or it does not matter?

8:35 am

TraderKate

thpought you said qid- 4xdsaily

8:35 am

kje

doesn't matter... but needs to not be on an empty stomach, and should not lay down afterwards (which is true of any pills)

8:35 am

Anniebrook

I think the New Guinea would knock my socks off

8:36 am

redturtlehead

We all lose that much it seems. dunno.

8:36 am

Anniebrook

thanks, kje for that info re: aspirin

8:36 am

Scrabbler

Tonight I am the MD at the HS football game locally--hoping for no injuries

8:36 am

TraderKate

fancy coffee?

8:36 am

redturtlehead

Everyone else is having a very similar issue, as it is cooling off, I think it will reduce.

8:36 am

redturtlehead

Scrabbs, have fun!!!!! I hope there are no injuries as well!

8:37 am

Scrabbler

I am drinking Maxwell House coffee--I am a mere commoner, a peasant.

8:37 am

TraderKate

lucky you scrabs...

8:37 am

Scrabbler

This is part of new job--school MD and covering football games.

8:37 am

good morning all

8:37 am

redturtlehead

Hi Nono and inge.

8:37 am

Scrabbler

I do lead such a simple, frugal life, Annie

8:38 am

kje

red - all I know is that running 5-7 miles at a stretch should not require salt gels, but does require sweat replacement fluid (like gatorade) - if you aren't regaining volume status post run with oral regydration, I guess the gels are the next best thing, but use the minimal needed

8:38 am

Scrabbler

GM Inge the Second!

8:38 am

Anniebrook

Hi Nono and inge2

8:38 am

TraderKate

Scrabbler

For a while we had a boy (hodag's grandson) using various names, including Inge3--hilarious!

Hi Inge 2 welcome out of Lurking!

8:40 am

Inge2

8:40 am

Jayde287

okay

8:40 am

Inge2

Scrabs, I remember that. Is hodag's grandson still around ("mousey" was it?)

8:40 am

TraderKate

8:41 am

Scrabbler

I have not seen Mousey in over a year. He probably realized that he didn't fit in with your average Babbler.

8:41 am

Jayde287

Thanks Nono!

Hi FM! *tick*tick*tick* for us

8:44 am

Hi trif!

8:44 am

hi trif

8:45 am

Hi trif!

8:45 am

Inge2

hi trif

8:45 am

FMitch

LOL Scrabs, nearer for you than me, just.

8:45 am

Nef

MOrning everyone; just grabbing my first cuppa coffee too (Dunking Donuts blend, bought at CostCO)

8:45 am

Scrabbler

Yep, just a few days remain of my 40's!

8:46 am

Trifioso

need talking into or talking out of - I got an email from a friend, saying there is a huge book sale/yard sale going on in the next town, to raise therapy money for a sick kid. Love the idea of helping a sick kid, but do I need more clutter and stuff around here? but oh - cheap books! did I mention cheap books?

8:46 am

Scrabbler

Hi Nef, and off to the PB for you--do5

8:46 am

Inge2

I'm cooling down the coffee for a nice iced one with ice cream on the porch later.

8:46 am

Scrabbler

Trif, I would go with lots of cash!

8:46 am

FMitch

I've edcided to ignore mine as most best buds are flung to the 4 winds atm so will do it another time.

8:47 am

FMitch

Go for it Trif

8:47 am

Nef

hey, red, Have you considered that you might be dehydrated (chronically)?

8:47 am

Trifioso

ooooh.....feeling the pull of the cheap books.....

8:47 am

FMitch

just forthe fun of rootling around and you never knowwhat you might find.

8:47 am

Scrabbler

Yes, Trif--how wonderful!!

8:47 am

Inge2

books are fine...you can give them away when you're done with them...no clutter!

8:48 am

TraderKate

solution: go and buy some BUT...bring some of your s as a donation as well..esp if you have doubles, old pb's things you didn't like...

8:48 am

Nef

OOOPS! I havent'even looked at the grid yet! PB, here I come!

8:48 am

Inge2

they don't call her TraderKate for nothing. :-)

8:48 am

Scrabbler

Great idea, Kate!

8:48 am

TraderKate

never give books away..books are babies...this is why i don't go to library...don't want to give them back...

8:48 am

TraderKate

yw

8:49 am

Trifioso

I thikn it's probabaly too late to donate anything, as they would have to price them, put them out and all. The sale started an hour ago, and by the time I get there, two hours will have passed. still worth it?

11:20 am

kje

Towerlike multistoried structure of stone, brick, or wood, usually associated with a Buddhist temple complex and enshrining sacred relics. The pagoda evolved from the Indian stupa. The pagoda's crowning ornament is pyramidal or conical in Myanmar (Burma), Thailand, Cambodia, and Laos and bottle-shaped in the Tibet Autonomous Region of China. In other parts of China and in Korea and Japan, a pagoda is a tall tower repeating a basic story unit in diminishing proportions. The stories may be circular, square, or polygonal. The pagoda form is intended mainly as a monument and has very little usable interior space.

11:21 am

1:14 pm

stidmama

the 6/21 is after the 6/18

The Last Chinese Chef and The Rossetti Letter were two of the best books I ever read

3:18 pm

Trifioso

3:18 pm

Bugsaw

Either. I just finished The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society which I loved

3:18 pm

TraderKate

3:18 pm

Trifioso

I recommend Year of Wonders by Geraldine Brooks

3:18 pm

Bugsaw

I just finished Bonk, by Mary Roach, because someone on here recommended it, and it was EXCELLENT

3:19 pm

redturtlehead

3:19 pm

Bugsaw

We are on the same wavelength Kate. I have read those too.

3:24 pm

TraderKate

did you ever read the forsyte saga series?

3:24 pm

TraderKate

man of property..to let etc?

3:24 pm

Bugsaw

I think so. I read a lot of educational stuff for my work but I like to have a good book to get involved in. When I go to the shops I only seem to see books I have read or others that don't sound like much from the title.

3:25 pm

TraderKate

time for a dose of the classics i think.

3:25 pm

Bugsaw

I had to read the Forsyte Saga the summer before I went into grade 10. I hated it and hate most of those old English things where everyone minds everyone else's business.

3:25 pm

TraderKate

so no victorian lit?

3:25 pm

Bugsaw

I like historical novels too

3:26 pm

dcseain

i like historical fiction/science fiction a lot.

3:26 pm

Bugsaw

I learn stuff about the past in a way that makes history come to life. That was why I liked Sarum

3:26 pm

TraderKate

3:26 pm

Bugsaw

Can you recommend a good one for me Seain?

3:27 pm

72 Temple Owl

hello babblers

3:27 pm

Trifioso

DC, you shoudl really read Year of Wonders, then - it is historical fiction at it's BEST

3:28 pm

TraderKate

recommend antonia fraser for hist. fiction - mary queen of scots exceptional...if you like her, she's quite prolific

3:28 pm

dcseain

I really liked Ruled Britannia by Harry Turtledove. Set in Elizabethan England based on premise that the Spanish Armada landed and won told from POV of Shakespeare and Marlowe

3:28 pm

dcseain

Year of Wonders, noted Trifioso

3:28 pm

Bugsaw

Those are really appealing. Thanks to both of you.

3:28 pm

TraderKate

3:29 pm

dcseain

The End of the Beginning i liked too, Japan conquered Japan and the US recapturing is premise. Very graphic though, and not for sensitive readers.

3:29 pm

TraderKate

good

3:29 pm

dcseain

Japan Conquered Hawaii in WWII rather :)

3:29 pm

Trifioso

I could talk books all day! I did very well at the sale in almost all departments - some for me, and some for each child, too. My son reads all the time, but I cant' get my girls to read! it's my greatest failure as a mother thus far....

Colleen McCullough's - Morgan's Run is a good long read - historical saga, based around fact

3:31 pm

ah...so they are people...(just kidding)

5:58 pm

TraderKate

so you have 2 dogs...puppies?

5:58 pm

TraderKate

bad sitter spoiling them with table scraps...

5:59 pm

PAV3

Mt younger bro decided the poopies were too much for him...and I didn't want to be there to begin with...so he said we were not welcomed any longer and I packed our things in < one hour and returned..I haven't spoken with him since New Years' Day...Joey supposedly pee'd in the kitchen...but since I wasn't present and no evidence was left, who knows....whether it's kids making messes or dogs becoming excited and forgetting their manners...a mess is a mess is a mess...they can all be cleaned and stuff replaced if needed...

6:01 pm

PAV3

He had deliberately set the temp so low in the bedroom where we stayed, even the dogs were freezin at night...multiple blankets, they slept UNDER the covers...

6:02 pm

TraderKate

good grief. he really hates dogs eh? have a feeling there was already some bad blood before your arrival with poopies....waqs he just looking for an excuse?

6:03 pm

TraderKate

what a charming host...,miss manners would be appalled

6:04 pm

PAV3

no...his family had four dogs, two indoor and two out...the larger two outdoors had passed away during the year before...he has my Precious' half sister lhasa apsos...

6:04 pm

PAV3

my mom and sis are coming here for Christmas and avoiding his place and other relatives this year...

6:04 pm

TraderKate

still, yu might want to try to mend fences before too much time passes...is he your only bro?

6:07 pm

PAV3

I'm giving him the time and space needed to apologize for his ill chosen words and actions...

6:08 pm

TraderKate

family has been polarized over this drama? never a good thing....give him a shout soon, you never know , he might call on your b-day. ythe lonmger the silence continues the harder it is to break...and pride tends to get inthe way...

6:08 pm

PAV3

in this photo yu'll see HH Princess Precious on the right and HIs Grace the Duke, Joey Tribiani on the left..

6:10 pm

TraderKate

love the nsames precious is lhasa pso and joey as well?

6:11 pm

TraderKate

should put some pics in profile....everyone here has animals. sure we'd all like to see

6:11 pm

PAV3

nope family's not polarized,,,for the most part they're with me...they know how particularly sensitive I am about my pets as my children...and I had already told him leading up to the visit that if my pets aren't welcomed then neither am I...

6:13 pm

PAV3

Precious is a purebred Lhasa...Joey is a mix acquired to keep Precious happily contained while I'm at work...for some odd reason they know this arrangement and are ok with it...

6:14 pm

TraderKate

not sure i understand, he has dogs himself- indoor and out door...does he just not like the lhasas, or smalkl dogs?

6:14 pm

PAV3

Precious is 5 1/2 and we'll celebrate 5 years this CHristmas; Joey is 4 and we celebrated 3 years together this past May...

6:14 pm

TraderKate

LOL...<nods with solemn understanding>

6:15 pm

TraderKate

you'll have to put up a "family photo" in profile...

6:17 pm

dan2bit

evening all!

6:18 pm

JenMO16

hi dan!

6:18 pm

PAV3

Precious and his dog Sashia are born of the same mother, who was bred by my brother's sis -in law...Precious has always had "issues" and when gets excited piddles...so for the past 5 years whenever we visited she would leave "spots" on the carpet, and they've always been accomodating...then Joey comes along and makes nice with everyone, and is terrorized by their other dog...so he becomes annoyed and leaves "presents"...the peeing was a first...if it even happened...

6:19 pm

TraderKate

hi you tqwo,,too tired,,, can't even type so i can read it

6:19 pm

72 Temple Owl

hello, dan

6:20 pm

TraderKate

oh no, poor pav...poor precious...poor joey

6:20 pm

TraderKate

hi TO

6:20 pm

PAV3

until this past CHristmas/New Year's holiday, my brother has always said "accidents happen" and they're just pets...now a change in one night ? so as I said before..until he comes back around and invites us all back, we're staying away...

6:20 pm

72 Temple Owl

hello kate

6:22 pm

PAV3

Precious and Joey have had new friends in our condo complex to keep their minds off no travelling...and I've saved on gas and car upkeep by not driving so much...

6:22 pm

TraderKate

by all means stay away physically...but mend fences...even if you have to make the first move...even if he doesn't apologoze...

6:24 pm

PAV3

but enough about us...46 more words to find...

6:25 pm

TraderKate

dogs probably don't care if they travel or not...a ride in the car with ears flapping in the wind feels same in city as country...unless they get to run in fields andchase rabbits at brother's place...they won't care...dogs care more for who they're with than where they are.

6:26 pm

72 Temple Owl

back later for clues

6:26 pm

PAV3

8:17 pm

nrkii

earwiggy, but much much smaller

8:17 pm

nrkii

and their bite hurts like you wouldn't believe

8:17 pm

lbdawger

thank goodness for that!

8:18 pm

lbdawger

i imagine bites in that area are going to hurt no matter the size of the bug

8:19 pm

I've actually been bitten by same bug in the past, but not in same locale, and it really does hurt a lot

8:21 pm

lbdawger

we don't have fireflies up this far north

8:21 pm

nrkii

lots of dragonflies this year, which has been nice.. none that big though

8:22 pm

Jacula

FIREWORKS! Can't believe that was the last word I found. Think lovely hymn - 'When a knight won his sp4/6s in the kjngdome of old, he was brave he was ... etc.

8:22 pm

lbdawger

he's been eating good. lots of little bugs for the dragonflies and damsels to eat

8:22 pm

nrkii

yay jacula!!!

8:22 pm

lbdawger

whoooo hooooo JACULA!!

8:23 pm

Jacula

"When a knight won his spurs, in the stories of old,
He was gentle and brave, he was gallant and bold;
With a shield on his arm and a lance in his hand,
For God and for valour he rode through the land.

No charger have I, and no sword by my side,
Yet still to adventure and battle I ride,
Though back into storyland giants have fled,
And the knights are no more and the dragons are dead.

Let faith be my shield and let joy be my steed
'Gainst the dragons of anger, the ogres of greed;
And let me set free with the sword of my youth,
From the castle of darkness, the power of the truth."

8:24 pm

Jacula

Thanks folks.

8:24 pm

damsels... look like stink bugs... are they the same?

8:24 pm

o-o

Sometimes a majority simply means that all the fools are on the same side.
--Claude McDonald

8:24 pm

no, damsels are little dragonflies. they are a species of their own

8:24 pm

good one babble rabble... I feel that way a lot

8:24 pm

lbdawger

so agree, BR

8:25 pm

okay, must go... visiting parents and must spend some time actually talking with them

Had to smile at the version of the knight hymn I posted - public school boys posing as urchins singing it. That kind of typifies Britain from time of Henry VIII - no good was ever really done for the poor, thought lots of nice words wer spoken about doing it.

8:38 pm

lbdawger

appears things haven't changed much since Henry's time.

8:38 pm

I say this as the probably the only fan of Margaret Thatcher. She knw the pill would be hard to swallow to make things right and she didn't swerve (but once) from doing what had to be done.

I was playing my second-favorite online game (puzzlepirates) and saw a friend I had not seen in months (because I hadn't played in months)

9:26 pm

stidmama

and she mentioned she had done her MFA in holography. SO ...

9:27 pm

Ping

i think you know, stid ;)

9:27 pm

I mentioned that I had an older cousin who had been early in the holography field...

I'm amazed by those that appear in a room - like ghosts.

9:28 pm

PAV3

how interesting...and here I thought that was strictly for Trekkies...

9:28 pm

which is REALLY weird. BEcause a) I never met another holographer and b) he died in 1991.

9:31 pm

Ping

LOL JC

9:31 pm

so who was your cousin, Stid.

9:31 pm

anyway, I am virtually real most of the time myself so maybe holography runs in the family.

9:32 pm

his name was John Landry -- his mother was one of my grandmother's cousins who lived on the other side of the hill across Figueroa Avenue when they were children.

JC, in case you don't know, IHOP is the International House of Pancakes, ugh.

9:51 pm

jillibus

merci pour les kind words, stid!

9:51 pm

PAV3

9:51 pm

lbdawger

if you love grease, clogged arteries, and fake syrup, IHOP is the place to go

9:51 pm

stidmama

so jill -- I posted some pics from our trip to mt st helens -- on my website. We had a good time, but I was glad it was only a day trip.

sciencegeek

Get some snacks for the pb!

10:45 pm

J. C.

Yes, sciencegeek - a very old one, when I was half the age I am now. :P

10:45 pm

Pinikula

what is 27 divided by 6?

10:45 pm

J. C.

On Yahoo that is, not here. :P

10:45 pm

Pinikula

(brain not mathematically inclined anymore today)

10:45 pm

sciencegeek

Well, good for you! I wish I still looked good naked! LOL

10:45 pm

Minveryork

sciencegeek you can enjoy the snacks in the PB also!

10:45 pm

sciencegeek

I am okay until I see the back side then I am frightened

10:45 pm

sciencegeek

Why what did I do?

10:46 pm

DR1965

27/6 is 4.5

10:46 pm

DR1965

I think

10:46 pm

J. C.

It's 4.5, Pini . . .

10:46 pm

sciencegeek

Min - what did I type?

10:46 pm

J. C.

Yes DR, it is . . .

10:46 pm

Minveryork

Look at the post at 10:46 for bekki.You did an oo4/5

10:46 pm

Pinikula

er...how about 27 / 3

10:46 pm

Pinikula

8?

10:46 pm

J. C.

I know this, because . . .

10:46 pm

DR1965

thanks for the confirmation JC

10:46 pm

J. C.

I cheated, and used a calculator! :P

10:47 pm

DR1965

9

10:47 pm

Minveryork

Go DR1965 go!

10:47 pm

DR1965

I used my brain!

10:47 pm

Pinikula

told you my math skills aren't working today!

10:47 pm

DR1965

oh MIn- I was answering Pini... I finished the gird long ago

10:47 pm

Minveryork

*I meant 10:44 sciencegeek

10:47 pm

sciencegeek

Oh, I forgot about that one! Too many grids in little time. I have not played in weeks and now I am on each day while I have 5 days off. Forgot.

10:47 pm

sciencegeek

I have blueberry pie for the PB

10:48 pm

Trifioso

how do you divide the points for a six letter word again? by 3?

10:48 pm

Minveryork

I LOVE blueberry pie! Maybe I should spill a word so I can eat some too sciencegeek!

10:48 pm

J. C.

I would have, DR - but I haven't much of one to use! :P

10:48 pm

sciencegeek

okay lovely ladies (and gents if there are any) I am off to read.

10:49 pm

sciencegeek

I wish we could share the pie. It is a good one. Made by me.

10:49 pm

Trifioso

good night Sgeek

10:49 pm

J. C.

Erm - what about me, sciencegeek? :/

10:49 pm

Minveryork

Goodbye sciencegeek!I'll see you tomorrow in the log

10:49 pm

DR1965

gnight SG

10:49 pm

J. C.

I may be a flaming poofter - but still a 'gent', I hope! ;)

10:49 pm

sciencegeek

Whomsoever speaks with Crosshairs first - let him know I found a dark chocolate bar with BACON yesterday. Would love to send him a couple.

10:49 pm

Minveryork

Conratulations DR1965 on finishing early! Way to go!

10:49 pm

J. C.

:/

10:49 pm

sciencegeek

Okay JC - did not know, one cannot tell with these profile names....

10:50 pm

Trifioso

oh, crap, that reminds me, jc - graham norton was on tonight, but I forgot to watch

10:50 pm

DR1965

I think of you as a gent JC

10:50 pm

J. C.

Well, my profile would probably indicate that, sciencegeek . . .

10:50 pm

DR1965

ty Min !

10:50 pm

J. C.

Oh yes, Trif?

10:50 pm

J. C.

Why thank you, DR - awfully nice of you to say! :)

10:50 pm

sciencegeek

Okay J.C> I looked at your profile. Apologies extended and hopefully accepted. :)

10:51 pm

Trifioso

yes....i love graham norton. another poofish gentleman

10:51 pm

sciencegeek

I rarely look at the profiles.

10:51 pm

J. C.

Especially my photo there - although I'm hiding behind my puppy, because it was first thing in the morning, and I was too groggy for photos! :P

10:51 pm

J. C.

I know, Trif - he's a friend, of course.

10:51 pm

sciencegeek

Yes, I really can only see the pup on the small little square.... Sorry

10:51 pm

J. C.

We've worked together . . .

10:52 pm

Trifioso

you KNOW him? oh that is IT - I am coming for dinner at yours, asap!

10:52 pm

J. C.

Oh, yes . . .

10:52 pm

J. C.

You will see better photos of him, my other dog, my cat, my chickens ane myself, at the link in my profile . . .

10:52 pm

J. C.

Oh brother, Trif! :P HAHAHA . . .

10:52 pm

DR1965

JC- have you ever done theather here in the States? ( dumb question I am sure)

10:52 pm

Pinikula

hey, all...I need help with the last word...I have to go run an errand and don't want to forget to finish!

10:52 pm

Pinikula

se6/27 plz/thx?

10:53 pm

DR1965

which one Pini

10:53 pm

sciencegeek

J.C. - how are your chickens? I get eggs from a neighbor and they are the BEST

10:53 pm

J. C.

Not really, DR - I have done a little standup in NYC and LA, but fell flat, I'm afraid. They didn't seem to 'get' my humour! :/

10:53 pm

DR1965

ocean canine

10:53 pm

J. C.

Well, NYC wasn't so bad - LA was worse! :/

10:53 pm

sciencegeek

se 6/27 like pirates - guys who like to sail

10:53 pm

Minveryork

se 6/27 word is ocean plus animal that barks Pinikula

10:53 pm

J. C.

They're fine, sciencegeek . . . lovely little birds. :)

10:53 pm

o-o

Your neighbor lays eggs?

10:53 pm

Trifioso

I promise I will only eat peanut butter and jelly the whole time!

10:54 pm

Pinikula

OY VEY!!!!

10:54 pm

J. C.

You can see my beautiful Ornamental Bantam hen Maureen, in that photo set . . .

10:54 pm

Minveryork

Congratulations Pinikula on fireworks! Good for you!

10:54 pm

sciencegeek

night off to the books

10:54 pm

Pinikula

thx min!! geek!! et al!!!

10:54 pm

Trifioso

you don't eat their eggs, do you jc? what to you do with them?

10:54 pm

DR1965

just curious.. I volunteered for many years at th e" Globe Theater " they have here in San Diego and met lots of actors and actresses

10:54 pm

Pinikula

* FIREWORDS *

10:54 pm

Pinikula

and now off to errand...back later!!! :)

10:54 pm

o-o

congrats, Pini

10:54 pm

Trifioso

huzzah for pini!!!!

10:54 pm

J. C.

If you go to that link, it's my Google profile - click on the first photo in that set, then you'll be taken to the album, and if you click on the first photo again, you will seem them all much larger, one at a time, in a slideshow you can advance through.

10:54 pm

DR1965

WTG and come back soon Pini

10:55 pm

J. C.

If you could read that e-mail and let me know while we're both still online here, Trif, that would be lovely. ;)

10:56 pm

Trifioso

is it about the yahoo profiles thing?

10:56 pm

J. C.

Yes, Trif . . .

10:56 pm

J. C.

We have quite a little network there - several other Babblers connected. :)

10:57 pm

Minveryork

Goodbye Pinikula! I will see you tomorrow in the chat

10:57 pm

Trifioso

i think I will only disappoint you all. between email, facebook and babble, I am about tapped out

10:57 pm

J. C.

Oh, I don't think so, Trif - I'm a busy person, too. It doesn't matter if you only appear once in a while. ;)

10:58 pm

J. C.

I often do that . . .

10:58 pm

Trifioso

i will probably do it, then, but not this weekend. I am off to my dad's tomorrow, and won't be back until monday

10:58 pm

J. C.

HAHAHA, or should I say seldom? :P

10:58 pm

J. C.

Oh, I see . . .

10:59 pm

J. C.

I'm checking my list there, to see which Babblers are in it . . .

10:59 pm

Trifioso

even the dog gets to come with me! diggity is packing his nightie even now

11:00 pm

Trifioso

anyway, jc - what do you do with all your hen eggs?

11:00 pm

J. C.

TraderKate, dcseain, lbdawger, flosey, Frances, Jilli, Kazozz, Laura, SilverBack, Pinikula, and a personal friend who's just joined recently, Siobhan . . .

11:01 pm

J. C.

The unfertilized ones get used in our dogs' and cat's food, and given to friends for that same purpose . . .

11:01 pm

Trifioso

do you let all the fertilzed ones hatch?

11:01 pm

J. C.

Yes, of course . . .

11:02 pm

Trifioso

good lord! how many hatchlings do you have scooting around?

11:02 pm

J. C.

We give chicks to others, who want them as pets.

11:02 pm

J. C.

Not that many, because we separate Blake from the hens periodically.

11:03 pm

J. C.

You can have roosters castrated, but I hate the thought of putting a bird through that - they're more delicate than a dog or cat. :/

11:03 pm

Trifioso

tertiare and I got MAJOR bummed out at the pet store the other day. a man was there looking for a "couple of rats" - didn't care what color they were, or what sex either. pretty obvious that they were going in a snake....

11:03 pm

Trifioso

why bother castrating a rooster?

11:04 pm

Trifioso

that is just mean!

11:04 pm

J. C.

Yes, that's horrible! :(

11:04 pm

Trifioso

poor tertiare was really shaken up

11:05 pm

J. C.

Well, so is anyone killing and eating animals, when it isn't necessary - it's necessary for natural carnivores and omnivores, yes. I won't deprive my dogs and cat of their natural diet.

11:05 pm

herinfernallady

Trifs.Tertiare has to realise that creatures need to eat. My friend has a host of snakes each get rat or miceicles

11:05 pm

J. C.

I'm sure - even I would be, at my age.

11:06 pm

Trifioso

hey there herin! that's what I told her. tried to be all zen about it, even the snake needs to eat, blah blah blah. and HHHERRRIIIINNN!!!!

11:06 pm

J. C.

I wouldn't have a creature in my home, that has to eat live animals. Snakes are never domesticated, and should be left to live in their natural habitat.

11:06 pm

Jacula

Ther is no need to keep a cock for hens to lay eggs.

11:07 pm

Trifioso

I wouldn't like a snake in the house AT ALL, so no worries there! on the other hand, if these two lazy layabout cats of mine could dwindle our house mouse population, I would be delighted!

11:07 pm

Jacula

Sorry, just interrupting ther from listing to Elkie Brookes http://tinyurl.com/lk6jod

11:07 pm

Trifioso

Jacula, you could not BELIEVE the number of adults I have had to explain that too! honestly, it's embarrassing!

11:07 pm

J. C.

Mine does a good job of that, Trif - she's an excellent mouser, and doesn't play with them. They're history, before you can say 'Jack Robinson'.

11:08 pm

herinfernallady

JC totally uninformed. You do not feed a snake live mice/rats as they can bite the snake and could kill the snake

11:08 pm

Trifioso

can you upload her here for a week or two?

11:08 pm

Jacula

tRIF - lol. i'M ENJOYING YOUR PAST EMBARRASSMENT.

11:09 pm

Trifioso

lol jacula! glad to amuse!

11:09 pm

herinfernallady

TRRRRRIFIES

11:09 pm

Trifioso

but honestly, you would be shocked.

11:09 pm

Trifioso

gag - just found a wicked huge fish!

11:10 pm

J. C.

Then I think you're probably uninformed, herin - because some snakes will only eat live food, they can kill themselves. That's why the rats and mice are purchased that way - as I've been told.

11:10 pm

Jacula

Snakes won't take frozen mice, they want live food, and I think that's cruel when the snake is imprisoned and so is the mouse that gets putinto its tank to feed it.

11:10 pm

Trifioso

s's skinned!

11:10 pm

Trifioso

I quote jurassic park - T rex doesn't want to be fed, it wants to hunt!

11:11 pm

Jacula

Son's g/f does the snake and mouse thing. But she's such a nice girl otherwise... *motherly shrug*

11:12 pm

Minveryork

I believe "snope" is a word! What about snopes.com?

11:12 pm

herinfernallady

Jac none of the people I know that are sane dont feed the snakes mice /rats. They are frozen then reheated to body temperature then put into the cage with chopsticks moving them about. Unless you are Monty the Retarded Reticulated Python that can't strike.

11:12 pm

J. C.

I know, Minveryork - it should be!

11:12 pm

J. C.

*Goes off to make one more cuppa.*

11:12 pm

Jacula

Do you think that's why all the supermarkets keep on with the price wars? To alow us to hunt?

11:13 pm

Trifioso

lol herin re: monty

11:13 pm

Trifioso

It's why I don't love ebay, jacula. I like the hunt, meself

11:14 pm

Trifioso

I was actually thinking about that today whilst I was at the book sale. Kindles are great and all, but you will never strike up a convo with a handsome stranger as you pick over .25 books at the Kindle table!

11:14 pm

Jacula

J.C. any chanc of a very large mug of tea for me?

11:18 pm

Jacula

Last fre day of the UK school hols - Belved got home from a 12-hour wworking day on Sat and sank 5 high-proof beears abd let his daughter drink almost a bottle of 4.5% Lambrinia, under supervision.

11:19 pm

Jacula

She then stayed up and got me 5 words on Babble.

11:19 pm

Trifioso

p's punished!

11:19 pm

herinfernallady

It is against the law to feed live animals to snakes. NONE of my friends do it and I have I seen it done with warm water or heater. Sigh. Also if Monty caught his own food he would starve to death as he is a rescue and has no neck muscles that work oto strike. I am going I am so irritated at the fact that my friends DO NOT and WOULD not feed their snakes live food. Its cruel and it can kill the animals. Convo over sodding off

11:20 pm

Jacula

I've finally finished gardening, cooking, caring for family and can now turn to drink....

11:20 pm

Trifioso

goodness herin, go easy girl! you are gonna have a stroke, dear one!

11:20 pm

Minveryork

Goodbye herinfernallady! I'll see you tomorrow maybe

11:20 pm

Jacula

Herin - noy illegal in UK though

11:22 pm

Trifioso

I am falling asleep. good night friends!

11:23 pm

Jacula

My point is that the mouse would not have got into the snake aquarium by its own will. Snake would not be in the aquarium either under its own will. So, neither, so far as I can tell, should be thjere.

11:24 pm

Jacula

I am not, as you may all have guessed by nowm a fan of keeping any animal that does no choose to be with you.

11:25 pm

Minveryork

Goodbye Trifioso! I will see you tomorrow in the chat

11:25 pm

Jacula

Dogs, cats, hens, rabbots, guinea pigs etc., make their choices.

11:26 pm

Jacula

Or t lat they do in our home.

11:27 pm

Jacula

Hens are ne4 here,but I want them free ranging and the fox might not allow that.

11:28 pm

Jacula

I'm a fan of my localfox but I don't want him making a meal of my Burford Browns when I get 'em.

11:29 pm

Jacula

Isee I am all alone in my thoughts again.

11:29 pm

Jacula

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

11:39 pm

TraderKate

poor jacula...

11:45 pm

rbud

everyone in shock? I, for one, would never have anything that's not warm and cuddly for a pet, and that's what I have to say about that. :)

11:45 pm

Minveryork

Hello rbud! How are you doing?Welcome to the puzzle

11:46 pm

TraderKate

hi rbud.....your icon is cute...never seen one move before

11:47 pm

TraderKate

don't think she wants fox to be pet, she just likes it?

11:47 pm

TraderKate

hi min

11:47 pm

Minveryork

You icon doesn't move for me when I click on it rbud.

11:47 pm

Minveryork

Hello TraderKate!How are you? Welcome back to grid

11:48 pm

Minveryork

I am done! I have fireworks!go6/27 was my last word

11:49 pm

TraderKate

it's moving on its own min.produces bouquet and blows kiss

11:49 pm

Minveryork

Oh,guess I need to refresh. Off to find new icon now

11:50 pm

TraderKate

hi min. am only here for a minute or two

11:50 pm

TraderKate

Hello.

11:50 pm

TraderKate

hi jc

11:50 pm

TraderKate

hi ish

11:51 pm

TraderKate

are we hiding jc?

11:51 pm

Ishkabibble

Hi there.

11:51 pm

stefaneechi

how many words in this one?

11:51 pm

TraderKate

182

11:52 pm

TraderKate

if you wait 8 min. we get new puzzle, though

11:52 pm

rbud

oh, is the old kissy icon still showing? I liked it, and then didn't get to use it last night, fell asleep too early.

11:52 pm

Ishkabibble

Oh. We do?

11:54 pm

TraderKate

that was for propose and kist?

11:54 pm

TraderKate

very clever

11:54 pm

TraderKate

where did you find a site to make moving icons?

11:55 pm

rbud

no, I think I meant it to be a "way to go" congratulations icon. You just have to find a little one to start with, if it's 32 x 32 pixels or smaller, sometimes they work.

11:55 pm

MLFAN17

how many were in this grid?

11:55 pm

TraderKate

jc, no need to whisper...

11:55 pm

jaianniah

Hi, all!

11:58 pm

jaianniah

Yep. I am a little tired, but if I leave, you better be sure I will sign out! LOL!

11:58 pm

rbud

11:58 pm

MetFan

Shoot - down to 9 and it's almost flip.....

11:58 pm

TraderKate

okay jai...

11:59 pm

TraderKate

rbud
