Atalante

6:58 am

car.eeyore

I will!

6:59 am

TraderKate

didn't think maths would be so important ata..

6:59 am

car.eeyore

He finds rocks and sticks and calls them his "fossils" and makes up stories/history for the "dinosaur" they came from!

6:59 am

Atalante

very, for most branches of palaeo

6:59 am

TraderKate

wonderful imagination!

7:00 am

car.eeyore

And of course...he LOVES to dig!

7:00 am

Atalante

lol a lot of palaeo people wo't ever go near a proper fossil dig

7:00 am

car.eeyore

We have a new show here on Public Television called "Dinosaur Train". It is very good and has a lot of actual dino facts!

7:01 am

car.eeyore

I know Ata! There are so many aspects to the science!

7:01 am

TraderKate

how does he feel about cleaning the school yard with a tooth brush though? about the same

7:01 am

suefrad625

ahhh, the baby moles where born....my cats are bringing me a dead one each day, yuck. and nobody tell me that shows me how much they love me.

7:02 am

suefrad625

lol

7:02 am

Atalante

someone I did my PhD with didnt look at a single fossil for 3 years. I had to tell what trilobitesactually looked like "in the flesh" when he had been working with trilo data for years

7:02 am

TraderKate

where are you car? we get pbs buffalo here..no dino train

7:02 am

car.eeyore

Boston.

7:03 am

car.eeyore

Trilobites...from the ocean?

7:04 am

car.eeyore

I would wake Zach up and ask him..but my darling boy is sick today with a fever and sore throat, so I shall let him sleep!

7:04 am

TraderKate

something not quite right about that? trilobites are soo common..anyone knows them

7:04 am

Atalante

oh yes, but have most ppl ever actually seen most of theescrewed up trilo fossils? most don't look beautiful

7:04 am

TraderKate

boston..the other really good pbs station..

7:05 am

car.eeyore

They are referred to on most of the documentaries on PBS/History/Discovery...how did this person miss them?

7:05 am

suefrad625

I keep typing shelter

7:05 am

car.eeyore

My phantom today: stealth

7:05 am

car.eeyore

True Ata!

suefrad625

I have to let my neighbors dog out, bbs

7:06 am

TraderKate

have a bunch at my mothers i found as a kid

7:06 am

car.eeyore

I often wonder...how do the scientists/palentologists KNOW they got the information/data right?

7:06 am

Atalante

cos we are brilliant lol

7:06 am

car.eeyore

That goes without saying ATA!

7:06 am

Atalante

and really, because everyone works on the theory of only discussing what we are really quite sure about. anything else goes down the bottom o the papers as guesses

7:07 am

Atalante

then people like Nat Geo read the papers and turn the guesses into Facts

7:07 am

Atalante

and then everyone thinks we know these things

7:07 am

suefrad625

heffa is too a word, That kid is a Heffa

7:07 am

TraderKate

someone has to

7:07 am

TraderKate

LOL

7:07 am

car.eeyore

But what if the original guesses that were turned into facts were incorrect?

7:07 am

car.eeyore

LOL Sue!

7:08 am

Atalante

it usually happens

7:08 am

TraderKate

happens all the time..they revise

7:08 am

Atalante

every 10 or so years everything gets shaken up

7:08 am

Atalante

but remember that the guesses only ever remain as guesses in the science world

Atalante

so it's only the TV channels that do major revisions!

7:08 am

car.eeyore

I have the same questions about space.

7:08 am

suefrad625

they are car. dont you remember someone said they had a bone from like 3000 years ago, and it turned out to be a dog bone from 50 years

7:09 am

TraderKate

not too long ago they thought all the sauropods dragged their tails around on the ground...now they know they were supporteed in the air...all the world's museums had to re do their skeletons

7:09 am

car.eeyore

I just find the whole palentology/dinosaur/science world so fascinating!

7:09 am

TraderKate

t-rex and raptors too

7:09 am

Atalante

and to be really honest, a lot of scientists work on gut instincts. things that feel right. things that when you think of them make you stop and just feel that bit more correct

7:09 am

car.eeyore

See, but I am not sold on radiocarbon dating. Those numbers are just too big for me!

7:10 am

Atalante

then you find the facts to go around them

7:10 am

LoriP

Anyone have the point totalplease?

7:10 am

Atalante

radiocarbon is ok. not hugely accurate, but ok

7:11 am

TraderKate

better dating methods now

7:11 am

car.eeyore

The Museum of Science in Boston used to have this T-rex model and it was a "big" deal. It is now used to mark the spot where the Duck Tour bus comes outside of the museum! The updated T-rex model is almost 3 stories tall!

7:11 am

Atalante

well, it depends on timescale, kate

7:11 am

TraderKate

TraderKate

bye ata..you come and go so quickly

7:13 am

TraderKate

how things change eh car?

7:13 am

car.eeyore

Truly! But again...I question the theories sometimes! But I certainly don't know any better, so i roll with it!

7:14 am

LoriP

Mercy Buckets

7:15 am

TraderKate

you are entitled to question any theory you want. that is the basic tenet of sciencde..it has to swtand up to scrutiny and bear out the proposed theory

7:15 am

TraderKate

typos

7:15 am

car.eeyore

No worries Kate!

7:16 am

car.eeyore

But sometimes I just think...What if Einstein was wrong? How many theories have now been built off his theories....and then it just goes from there!

7:17 am

car.eeyore

however, as much as I enjoy and find science fascinating, I am not blessed with a scientific mind...just curiosity!

7:17 am

TraderKate

our understanding of dinos is growing hugely very quickly. wasn't long ago that it was thought that they laid eggs and left..now know they were"good parents' caring for young in family groups- mom and dad for the meat eaters..herds for the veggies

7:17 am

car.eeyore

i know! amazing!

7:18 am

TraderKate

they're still working on einstein..he was working on the problems right up to the end...still need a grand unifying theory...the thheory of everything. still

7:19 am

car.eeyore

We did get to go see the Walking With Dinosaurs show when it was in Boston...simply AMAZING!

7:19 am

TraderKate

that's what i love about the sciences..they're not static..always evolving, changing very dynamic!

7:20 am

TraderKate

it was fantastic wasn't it? it was up here for a long time. just ffascinating!

7:21 am

TraderKate

I am teaching my older grandaughters to knit and taught d i l a couple of years ago

8:12 am

NonnieLight

Jai, similar thing happened to my husband. Several of the metal sutures (sp) traveled around inside of him and showed up years later in another area and had to be removed. He just had a spot removed and last week the incision was healling nicely. But as of last night he has a suspicious area that has now opened up and I'm afraid will have to be redone.

8:12 am

I had no luck teaching my own daughter when she was growing up, tried and tried, she can't even sew on a button,am sure its because she knows i will do it

8:17 am

NonnieLight

lol Andree--how do you have your "students" :o) start? I learned late in life (last year) and we were shown to knit in the round first. Our teacher gave us bulky yarn and large needles.

8:18 am

Andree

that came out strangely

8:19 am

Andree

fe5/16 sounds like to fall down in a fa***

8:20 am

Andree

my D I L with large needles and bulky as she only wanted to make scarves[ she knows i will knit for her kids] but am teaching grandchildren properly

8:22 am

jaianniah

a pass in fencing is called a fe5- pl for fe6- rhymes with paint

8:22 am

mom2han8

I just took up crocheting again... and I admit I am a little obsessed.

8:22 am

NonnieLight

I enjoyed knitting in the round but really liked when I learned with regular needles and then double points. I found I could do so much more!

8:23 am

NonnieLight

I can relate, mom :o)

8:23 am

mom2han8

I am going to the store today.... might pick up some knitting needles.. used to do that, too... just don't remember how, LOL....

8:23 am

mom2han8

So far I have made a hat, a basket, and a scarf. Am working on a poncho and an afghan right now.

8:24 am

Andree

the only time i have ever used round needles is for the neck

8:24 am

mom2han8

But I found a knitted pattern for a nice, heavy poncho that I really liked... so I want to see if I can manage it.

8:25 am

mom2han8

The scarf I made was really cool.. kind of spiral-y. I really like it.

8:25 am

Andree

I am working on an afghan too mom, get side tracked with the vest i am knitting so am never bored, i never watch t v without my computer in my lap or my wool and needles

8:26 am

mom2han8

I hear ya... I feel like I more listen to tv, rather than watch it... It also helps with not eating at night

8:27 am

NonnieLight

Same here and if I know I'm going somewhere and I'll have a wait, like the doctor's office, I take my knitting bag so I can entertain myself.

8:27 am

Andree

and i always take mine when babysitting

8:28 am

mom2han8

yeah... I hear ya... years ago when I crocheted and worked in the city I used to get a lot done on the bus

8:29 am

mom2han8

OMG... my teenager loves to act helpless.... she wants hot cocoa and is lazy... so she is trying to get me to make it by buttering me up... telling me I make it better than she can... not buying into that one this morning, LOL.

8:29 am

NonnieLight

I've found that it is a conversation started too. People are naturally curious and like to ask what I'm working on.

8:29 am

Andree

bedtime for me, bye for now

8:29 am

NonnieLight

good night andree...sweet dreams

8:29 am

mom2han8

bye Andree... nice chatting with you.

8:30 am

TraderKate

gn andree, sleep well

8:30 am

mom2han8

I found this nice pattern for an afghan that calls for octagons and small squares... five different colors... so I made several octagons last night... went pretty quickly.

8:31 am

NonnieLight

Sounds pretty, mom

8:31 am

mom2han8

OK... now she has made the cocoa, but I NEED to bring it to her, as she cannot possibly walk with it for 20 feet without spilling it... LOL!

8:31 am

mom2han8

We shall see... I had some cream yarn, so I did them in cream... now I have to find 4 more colors at the yarn store today...

8:32 am

mom2han8

I like those kinds of things because they are more portable... you can throw a small amount of yarn and a needle into a ziploc and stash it in your bag... work on it while waiting for things...

8:33 am

NonnieLight

True and I need simple ones to cart around--ones where I don't have to do a lot of counting otherwise I'll mess it up for sure.

8:33 am

what time is it in england now?

8:34 am

Busy day today. Gave into the kids, and went into a pet shop (against my better judgement). Walked out with a beautiful Budgie...who has been named Babble!!!

4:58 pm

inge

This morning I was cluing Crossy and another babbler Gave the advice that there are at least 15 words with th in the middle. It helped

4:59 pm

Pinikula

* looking jilli *

4:59 pm

jillibus

4:59 pm

5:02 pm

Soodle

yet another creature to add to the menagerie in this house. but Babble is as cute as a button - the kids are already trying to teach him to say swear words!!!

5:03 pm

Pinikula

now, that's a die-hard game fan when you can name your pet, "Babble"!!! :-)

5:04 pm

inge

I have a tall circular cage you can have, soodle. My finches all died

5:04 pm

Soodle

The budgie brings the tally to : 3 dogs, 4 cats, 1 Vietnamese Pot-bellied Pig (porky spice), one ferret and now a budgie. Is it any wonder I am demented?

5:05 pm

Pinikula

lol

5:05 pm

jillibus

I guess you were demented before you collected the menagerie! :D

5:05 pm

inge

do you charge admission to your zoo?

5:07 pm

Soodle

Thanks, Inge, but we bought a cage. Anyway, the postage would probably be more than what I paid! Entrance to the zoo is free - but, you my just catch the dementia by being here!! I don't have public liability insurance!! At your own risk!!

5:09 pm

Soodle

My childhood cartoon-watching is catching up on me.... I keep hearing Tweety-Pie saying 'I tawt i taw a puddy-tat'........as I watch the cats inspecting the bird cage...........

Pinikula

5:14 pm

Pinikula

5:15 pm

5:15 pm

Soodle

A scupper is an opening in the side walls of an open-air structure, for purposes of draining water. They are usually placed at or near ground level, and allow rain or liquids to flow off of the side of the open-air structure, instead of pooling within the walls.

There are two main kinds of scupper:

1. Sailing ships would have scuppers at deck level, to allow for ocean or rainwater drainoff
2. Buildings with railed rooftops can construct scuppers to let rainwater drain off, instead of pooling within the railing of the roof. Scuppers can also be placed in a parapet, for the same purpose.

The transitive verb "to scupper" (British) means to overwhelm or destroy.

5:44 pm

jillibus

put him in the scuppers with a hose pipe on him

6:13 pm

JBsAnno

6:13 pm

6:14 pm

TraderKate

6:14 pm

jillibus

TK -- ditto Seattle PBS here.

6:14 pm

JBsAnno

ty, jilibus, I think about changing it, but I just love how 3 simple lines represent the soul of the cat (couldn't think of a way to get it into pirate slang!)

6:14 pm

saanichcat

jmc, don't know what that was. I am such a slow typist that the whole page has rolled by before I can read it.

TraderKate

10:19 pm

TraderKate

10:19 pm

Angelsong

I declared yesterday the last day I would be adding any content to the book, except for graphics, which were added today.

10:19 pm

TraderKate

more clues ali
?

10:19 pm

herinfernallady

OH I got to hold a real bird yesterday and it sat on my shoulder. I was a real pirate for a moment. Angel have you looked at lulu.com for publishing

10:19 pm

Angelsong

yes, I'm going to publish on Amazon,

10:20 pm

Angelsong

celebrate? before or after I collapse from exhaustion? :)

10:21 pm

TraderKate

after of course, you'll need your strethht

10:21 pm

Angelsong

I looked at Lulu, but they seem a little more expensive.

10:21 pm

TraderKate

^_^

10:21 pm

herinfernallady

Angel I didn;t know that. Best wishes hun

10:21 pm

TraderKate

does no one send gaeys to a brick and mortar publisher anymore?

10:22 pm

TraderKate

galleys

10:22 pm

Angelsong

I really hadn't thought of how to celebrate. I'll be shocked speechless if the book sells!

10:22 pm

TraderKate

well looks like a few around here seemed inteested :-)

10:22 pm

Angelsong

it isn't easy to get in the door with brick and mortar publishers.

10:23 pm

TraderKate

the old catch 22? no name , so can't get published..can't get published, so no name?

10:23 pm

alibabas

what did you write about angel

10:23 pm

herinfernallady

Angel you will have to give us a link when you sort it all out

10:24 pm

Angelsong

It was great fun to write. I used to be in the chog all the time with my latest organizing ideas...kje knows! so, I decided to just write it all down...and now I have a manuscript. It's on organizing, personal finance and frugality.

10:25 pm

Angelsong

I will. actually, ch1212 was the one who convinced me to really write it...she was frantic...she said she wanted a book she could HOLD.

10:25 pm

alibabas

cool I love books like that. one of my favorites is by the woman on pbs..i forget her name now..juilie morgenstern?

10:26 pm

TraderKate

must tend to food, bbs

10:26 pm

herinfernallady

Good Angel. The women that did 4 ingredients book now sell a lot

10:26 pm

Angelsong

correct, Kate. I hate that Catch-22!

10:27 pm

alibabas

I especially like frugality tips. I am getting real cheap iin my old age. I made my own shampoo today.

10:28 pm

Angelsong

ali, you would really like my book, then. I have all sorts of Make Your Own tips

10:28 pm

alibabas

Cool! What do you make yourself?

10:28 pm

Jadeomoan

I go to play with my boyfriend for a while. Talk to you later.....

10:29 pm

alibabas

by jade

10:30 pm

herinfernallady

Angel I would love to look at it. Enjoy Jade. I may run off I seem to be drooling and looking at nothing

10:30 pm

Angelsong

I will put a link in my profile when it's ready to be purchased.

10:31 pm

herinfernallady

YAH Angel that would be awesome

10:31 pm

Angelsong

I make many of my own recipes; I make salsa, and homemade bread, and I make my own household cleaner.

10:32 pm

Angelsong

I haven't spent a dime on commerical cleaners in two years.

10:32 pm

alibabas

I live among many diy'ers and I learned how to make soap (from lye) over the years.

10:33 pm

alibabas

I tried bread but it got to be a hassle.

10:33 pm

Angelsong

I make my own laundry detergent also

10:33 pm

TraderKate

lalundry det?

10:33 pm

Angelsong

and I know how to fold a fitted sheet as flat as it is when it comes out of the packaging

10:33 pm

alibabas

ooh...that is on my todo list. I have all the ingredients. Just need to do it.

10:34 pm

alibabas

wow..is your name Martha?

10:34 pm

TraderKate

oooh that i can do...but i have been called ocd for that..sigh no one understands me

10:34 pm

Angelsong

I made bread and soup today for dinner. And, I keep a container of bread mix that I put together myself in the freezer so it will be very quick to use next time I need bread

10:35 pm

herinfernallady

Some of the girls were stunned that I made my own Damper as I ran out of bread and money

10:35 pm

Angelsong

no, I am not Martha :) I'm just me.

10:35 pm

alibabas

what is damper

10:36 pm

TraderKate

damper? please translate herin

10:36 pm

TraderKate

where are you ali?

10:36 pm

alibabas

making your own laundry det saves lots of money.

10:37 pm

alibabas

I am in michigan

10:37 pm

TraderKate

but how?

10:37 pm

Angelsong

my interest in organizing and frugality/saving money began just before we bought our house in 2007.

10:37 pm

TraderKate

detroit?

10:37 pm

alibabas

we grow a garden and just put in some lavender plants and r considering extracting the oil

10:38 pm

alibabas

tk..no west michigan

10:38 pm

alibabas

laundry det = borax, castille soap, washing soda

10:38 pm

Angelsong

Kate, the ingredients in homemade laundry detergent are very inexpensive. You pay mostly for advertizing when you buy it in the stores. and it really is mostly water.

10:38 pm

herinfernallady

Sorry Damper is like bread

10:39 pm

alibabas

if you do a search online for laundry det you'll find lots of recipes..or check out Angels book

10:39 pm

Angelsong

ali, I even have a US phone number in the book for ordering washing soda

10:39 pm

herinfernallady

Its flour and water mostly

10:39 pm

alibabas

ok..now I am impressed. it is hard for people to find some of these ingredients

10:39 pm

Angelsong

I never use chlorine bleach any more, either.

10:40 pm

Angelsong

my homemade cleaner is amazingly versatile and very eco-friendly.

10:41 pm

Angelsong

I have links for all kinds of helpful tips and information, too. about half the book is a resource list.

10:41 pm

TraderKate

can't remember the last time i saw borax on the shelf in a store..like laundry blueing(for whites) it has gone the way of the donosaur here

10:41 pm

alibabas

Well i tried the no 'poo' shampoo today on my daughter. water and baking soda and then rinse with vinegar and water and some lavender oil for smell

10:41 pm

alibabas

I just bought blueing!

10:41 pm

Angelsong

I buy borax all the time locally.

10:41 pm

TraderKate

washing soda = baking soda? know it can be used to treat stains

10:42 pm

alibabas

you have to search tk but its there

10:42 pm

Angelsong

baking soda and washing soda are not the same, Kate

10:42 pm

alibabas

washing soda doesn't = equal baking soda

10:42 pm

alibabas

washing soda doesn't = equal baking soda

10:43 pm

Angelsong

I can even make my own dishwasher detergent.

10:43 pm

alibabas

baking soda can also be used to boost your regular detergent and destinkify clothes

10:43 pm

alibabas

I have not tried that angel

10:43 pm

TraderKate

oh my..too much info for my tired little brain to absorb...must tend to food again..bbs

10:43 pm

alibabas

when I go to the market I don't buy much there anymore

10:43 pm

TraderKate

herin still here?

10:44 pm

Angelsong

ali, have you ever burned anything in a pan on the stove when you cook? I know how to get all of the burned on gunk/stains out of a scorched pot.

10:44 pm

alibabas

so do I. :)

10:44 pm

herinfernallady

yes I am here

10:44 pm

alibabas

you're preaching to the choir here angel. I have friends that make ketchup!

10:45 pm

Angelsong

I don't ever buy fabric softener any more, either. and I use fabric softener sheets for lots of things...but never in the dryer.

10:45 pm

herinfernallady

Angel i use bi carb and vinegar

10:46 pm

alibabas

I wonder what percentage of supermarkets now are processed foods. We don't buy much of that anymore

10:46 pm

Angelsong

:) herin

10:47 pm

Angelsong

a lot is processed. that's why people have so many illnesses and allergies

10:47 pm

alibabas

ohhhhhhhhhhh don't start talking illness and allergies! I have a brainful of that.

10:48 pm

Angelsong

so, I do a lot myself. it's cheaper and tastes lots better.

10:48 pm

alibabas

We started doing raw goats milk but decided I am not going to chance the ecoli bit.

10:48 pm

TraderKate

entire aisle devoted to crisps/chips and the like...what a sad commentary on our shopping habits and western culture in general....instant gratification in a bag....sigh

10:49 pm

alibabas

I agree tk. although i must admit it is tempting for me, especially passing the donut area!

10:50 pm

TraderKate

love sweets, don't get me wrong , but am never in that aisle at all

10:50 pm

alibabas

if only instant gratification wasn't such a killer!

10:50 pm

Angelsong

there is an entire generation that thinks cooking is taking something out of the freezer and zapping it in a microwave oven.

10:51 pm

Angelsong

I'm off to bed...see you tomorrow.

10:52 pm

TraderKate

just got a new korean bakeshop here.. lots of sweet breads made into buns with really nice fillings..unless you had to have choclit, you'd never eat another donut again, at least not from a groc. store...don't you get your fix at dunkin's anyway????

10:53 pm

TraderKate

point well made angel. gn

10:54 pm

herinfernallady

11:40 pm

herinfernallady

Its just a stupid head cold but I can't take the usual drugs as they either clash with anti depressants or send me hyper. If you know the drug Ritalin just give me that and I am a humming bird

11:41 pm

Pinikula

wow, herin...cold-turkeying the cold...that's gotta suck, but, then again, a good dose of something that makes you loopy for a little bit could be a good thing! ;-)

11:41 pm
