Oops...my Lickety Add Box won't come up

6:18 am

Trifioso

not yet ata - we go until dec 23rd, and sometimes the 24th!

6:18 am

Scrabbler

Ata, I must tell you my fine yesterday because you are the only one that would think it was cool...during my hike I found the guts of a whitetail deer that probably some hunter tossed off the side of the road. I studied anatomy for a while--heart, lungs, liver, gall bladder, stomachs, intestines...

6:18 am

Trifioso

oooh -name that proper noun! popular female singer of the 1980s, probably best known for a duet with Todd Rudgren

6:19 am

Trifioso

isn't that illegal, scrab?

6:19 am

Atalante

ooooo wow! to both! poor kids! and how fascinating

6:19 am

Atalante

it's so much easier to do that when you don't have a mad little spaniel running around you wanting to investigate too!

6:20 am

Scrabbler

Yes, it is illegal as it draws predators. But it was fascinating--mostly frozen.

6:20 am

Trifioso

it does sound fascinating - how many stomachs do deers have, just the one?

6:20 am

Atalante

I bet it was! Isn't it wonderful when you find things like that

6:21 am

Scrabbler

And a bloody towel was next to it.

6:21 am

Scrabbler

I notified the sheriff's office when I got home.

6:21 am

Trifioso

how did you know they were deer entrails?

6:21 am

Trifioso

how did you know they were deer entrails?

6:21 am

Scrabbler

4 stomachs, i think, like cows

6:21 am

Atalante

will they go and pick it up / bury it?

6:21 am

Scrabbler

I came home and went to Google Images and did my research.

6:22 am

Trifioso

hmmm. are deer kosher? I have always wondered that

6:23 am

Haz1558

Deer are ruminants and have four chambers to their stomach.

6:24 am

Atalante

so they can ruminate a lot

6:24 am

Eva

I think that deer are kohser, but they would have to be slaughtered by a kosher butcher-not through hunting.

6:24 am

Haz1558

They're like cattle in that they chew cud.

6:24 am

Scrabbler

I must run now! I have to shower, dress and depart in negative 8 minutes. I am always late.

6:24 am

Scrabbler

I have seen some deer wearing Star of David necklaces.

6:25 am

Scrabbler

I ruminate a lot too--obsessive mind.

6:25 am

Eva

were they Sephadim or Ashkenazim?

6:25 am

Scrabbler

Bye kids, wish I could stay! Enjoy the day!

6:26 am

Eva

bye scrabbler and good morning everyone else

6:26 am

Scrabbler

I didn't understand Hebrew.

6:26 am

Scrabbler

I said Shalom and kept hiking. LOL, I am being silly. Bye kids.

6:26 am

Eva

the deer were speaking Hebrew?

6:34 am

Atalante

chew the cud = vomit a lot. it's ewww!

6:36 am

Atalante

maybe that's what Sily is trying to do. Chew the cud. She just goes a bit too far

6:42 am

Atalante

Haz - Hobbit would be ok in a car for 2 hours or so in this weather, wouldn't she? As long as we leave her blankets and snuggle her up warmly?

7:00 am

7:01 am

Mudd

I can't make up my mind about this grid. Do I like it or not?

NonoNanette

Mudd I breezed thru the first 115 words but have slowed down now

7:03 am

sprite

awwwww wonderful!

7:04 am

sprite

am wondering... am not breezing at all. A very tight corner in this grid, bottom left. *carefully shakes grid a bit*

7:05 am

Atalante

it's not the quickest

7:05 am

Mudd

You breezed farther than I did. I made 100.

7:06 am

Atalante

am currently annoyed that manga isn't allowed when anime is!

7:06 am

Haz1558

Ata, sorry about not answering your query about Hobbit in the car. She'd be fine, I think.

7:06 am

Haz1558

I've been popping in and out, this multi-tasking is taxing.

7:07 am

Atalante

ty! I think so too, but it's nice to have a more expert opinion!

7:07 am

Haz1558

I don't know about expert! But instinct says it should be okay.

7:08 am

Atalante

you're old :) you've had lots of dogs :)

7:08 am

Haz1558

Let's face it, if Spangle can survive for hours in a cold, damp kennel for hours, Hobbit can manage.

7:08 am

Haz1558

Why did I emphasis 'for hours'?

7:09 am

Atalante

because she's there for ever and a day and unloved!

7:09 am

Atalante

that's what I thought

7:09 am

Haz1558

Ata, must tell you that the other night I tried to leave Spangle in the kitchen overnight. She was having none of it, insisted on trotting out to her kennel.

7:09 am

sprite

hello Haz

7:09 am

Haz1558

Hello, sprite!

7:09 am

periwinkle

good morning all

Hello, peri.

7:09 am

7:10 am

Haz1558

He laughed at me.

7:10 am

Atalante

7:10 am

sprite

7:10 am

Haz1558

He's not really, he's lovely.

7:11 am

7:11 am

7:11 am

sprite

hi hego

7:12 am

Haz1558

He's just more practical or something. He was always the one who was better at giving the children any medicine.

7:12 am

NonoNanette

morning Hego

7:12 am

Haz1558

He wouldn't have known, he was already in bed. I was trying to do it on the quiet, but Spangle gave it away by howling in the kitchen.

7:12 am

Atalante

LOL Spangle!!

7:12 am

sprite

"let me out, let me out, I want my OWN bed!"

7:13 am

Haz1558

I opened the back door and out she went.

7:13 am

Atalante

I wish Hobbit could howl properly. Just once.

7:13 am

Haz1558

I know, she has a bed in the kitchen, one in the lounge but apparently the one in the kennel is the only one for overnight snoozing.

7:14 am

Atalante

*would, not could

7:14 am

sprite

why is that, Ata

7:14 am

Atalante

well that shows more than anything that she's happy out there!

7:14 am

Atalante

she's never howled!

7:14 am

Haz1558

She has a really funny howl for when she's pleased to so you again. It gets progressively lower pitched until you think she's trying to say something.

7:15 am

Trifioso

hmmmm it is gonna be so HARD to go out in the bitter cold this morning! The snow is pretty, but oh, the cold!

7:15 am

Atalante

Hobbit just has a weird snuffley-snorty language

7:15 am

Haz1558

I know, so I'm not going to be guilty any longer!

7:15 am

sprite

you'd love Hobbit just the same, howling or not

7:16 am

Atalante

she does a funny little 4 quick snorts to say hello, and she does it every time I go to see her or she sees me. Then there's a different snort pattern for when she sees husband, and another for when she wants food

8:42 am

8:42 am

NonoNanette

now now, lets not quibble over years :)

8:43 am

Congratulations, sprite!

8:56 am

Haz1558

Same here, 5 inches of snow (a lot for us) and no thaw as yet.

8:56 am

jmcnrick

the amount is less important than the ability to deal with it!

8:56 am

wht

I can't ig6 work any longer. I'll be dropping in and out all day. ttfn.

8:56 am

Anniebrook

We got 13 inches but Washington DC got 22 inches. Oh poor jmc.

8:57 am

jmcnrick

you'r at work wht?

8:57 am

Haz1558

That's the problem, we get small amounts of snow. Town roads aren't so bad, country roads are lethal.

8:57 am

jmcnrick

well I do get the day off annie (except it's my sister's birthday and I am behind on that and my christmas)

8:58 am

Anniebrook

5 inches is a dusting here.

8:58 am

jmcnrick

it is the cold that is the problem hhere since it is keeping the snow and turning it into ice

8:58 am

Haz1558

I know, we're wimps.

8:58 am

jmcnrick

not at all haz!

8:58 am

Judi

18 inches here in Delaware.

8:59 am

Anniebrook

I am going to go out to the parking lot and take a look at the "getting my car out" situation later.

8:59 am

jmcnrick

when I was a girl in Texas an inch would bring the city to a grinding halt -- a half inche even

8:59 am

wht

Yes, I am. For us, the storm was most convenient. It started snowing at overnight and was over by 3:00 pm on Sunday. The snow was all light and fluffy and we were dug out before dark.

8:59 am

jmcnrick

nice wht

9:00 am

jmcnrick

I am in a pretty good situation because one of my neighbors bought a snowblower and did both sidewalks and the street around the neighbors cars

9:00 am

jmcnrick

and then another neigh with tow boys cleared out my car most of the way

9:00 am

wht

We had a nice day at home and decorated our Chritsmas tree and digging out was easy, especially since both kids are home and helped.

9:00 am

Anniebrook

I am happy for the ski resorts.

9:00 am

Judi

I'm missing one i. I have the eskimo home, the disregard(s), the il4 and the wee bit(s). What am I missing?

9:00 am

Flask1

Hi all.......is Lickety on holiday?

9:01 am

wht

Unfortunately, in New England this was a coastal storm and the ski resorts got nothing.

9:01 am

Haz1558

Hello, Flask. We don't know anything about Lickety.

9:01 am

flosey

it's possible Flask, MRP hasn't been on either, or just busy with Christmas

9:01 am

9:02 am

NonoNanette

one of the ske resorts near us just opened and indoor water park because the winters have been so unpredictable lately they will do well all year long now

9:02 am

Haz1558

I vaguely remember it being in before.

9:02 am

harpjane

wow another biggie!

9:03 am

Oh well.....makes usappreciate him all the more when he does return!

9:03 am

Flask1

Hi jmc!

9:03 am

jmitch

worst snow (relative) was 4 inches in Memphis TN a few years back

9:04 am

9:04 am

Flask1

Hi Nono...

9:04 am

harpjane

I'm going to see how far I can get without accidentally entering any four letter words today....

9:04 am

jmitch

they had NO idea how to handle, no plows, no cinders, no salt

9:04 am

Flask1

I didn't manage to finish last 2....

9:04 am

hootowl

That was 2005 I believe. Ice I the roads 3" deep and rutted cause we don't have plows.

9:04 am

Judi

Alas. Noogie is not allowed.

9:04 am

jmcnrick

like %&!# harp?

9:05 am

I was driving thru....even the cops were stopped. I grew up north so knew how to drive thru

9:05 am

hootowl

My intro to Memphis. Still not impressed. Morning all

9:05 am

Haz1558

I know, and it's ironic that the grids have been longer since Lickety hasn't been available.

9:05 am

Anniebrook

hi hoot, bye judi

9:06 am

jmcnrick

well my southern belleness would not allow me to type it!

9:06 am

Haz1558

Good morning, hootowl.

9:06 am

harpjane

what's lickety doing anyway?

9:06 am

jmitch

morning hoot.....couldn't remember year, by the time I got to South Missouri they had 14".

9:06 am

NonoNanette

probably busy with Christmas activites Harp

9:07 am

Haz1558

Hootowl, can I apologise for my part in the politicial/historical ting in the log yesterday? I just got irritated, I should have stayed quiet. But onward and upward.

9:07 am

jmcnrick

how is his dad? what's the last anyone heard?

9:07 am

Haz1558

Harpjane, nobody knows, people think he may be on holiday.

9:07 am

hootowl

Well it was my second time there.

9:07 am

jmcnrick

o I missed a political fight?

9:08 am

jmcnrick

I may have to go read yesterday's archive

9:08 am

Haz1558

It wasn't a political fight, really. Just me getting cross.

9:08 am

jmcnrick

never haz!

9:08 am

Haz1558

Frequently!

9:08 am

jmcnrick

lol

9:09 am

hootowl

Haz I don't remember you getting in on that fray. It was mostly my fault cause I have a million things to d and running out of time.

9:09 am

harpjane

i just barely remember a fray; I'm always glad when there's a controversy that doesn't involve ME!

9:09 am

Haz1558

Hootowl, I kind of did my 'Hold on a minute' and then ducked for cover.

9:10 am

jmcnrick

*giggle* me too harp

9:10 am

jmcnrick

but if i see one the horizon I try to turn the topic

9:10 am

hootowl

I am very, very tired of people making accusations with nothing to back them up but their Personal feelings.

9:10 am

Haz1558

Anyway, I knew you were annoyed and wanted to say sorry if I stirred things.

9:11 am

hootowl

No - I was annoyed at life at that point Just pushed me over the edge.

9:12 am

Haz1558

I know. Still, this little darling <-------- (the grid, not Spangle) will distract us.

9:12 am

72 Temple Owl

that's why i don't chat anymore.

9:12 am

jmcnrick

*spread lavender around the chog to ease everyone's stress (including own)*

9:12 am

jmcnrick

spangle would distract me

9:12 am

Haz1558

Hello, TO.

9:12 am

jmcnrick

o TO you have been missed!

9:13 am

jmitch

Egg Nog for all!

9:13 am

hootowl

yep - does anyone have a list that doesn't involve boxes? Or I just wait til BJ comes thru?

9:13 am

AshleyNpeyton

anyone know when lickety will be back?

9:13 am

harpjane

i always have to remind myself that Christmas is about a savior, and peace, but it is NOT about shopping and eating and stress!

9:13 am

jmcnrick

no, lickety comes and goes

9:13 am

NonoNanette

hi TO! and Jmitch I will have to pass on the eggnog this morning

9:13 am

harpjane

how many letters in the U please?

9:13 am

Haz1558

It's funny, I like the smell of lavender as a plant, but not as a perfume. What do they do to it to spoil it?

9:13 am

jmcnrick

7 harp

9:14 am

Haz1558

Ashley, no-one knows, we just have to be brave and carry on.

9:14 am

jmcnrick

me too haz that why I spread dried lavendar

9:14 am

jmcnrick

I think it is the alcohol that ruins it

9:14 am

jmcnrick

*lightbulb*

9:14 am

Anniebrook

I have a lovely lavender plant in my livingroom.

9:14 am

Haz1558

Excellent, jmc, I knew I could rely on you.

9:15 am

hootowl

Harp - here it's a stove the landlord doesn't think I need cause she doesn't cook, no insulation in the house, a fridge that freezes everything in the back or veg crisper, outside laundry.........

9:17 am

hootowl

It all seems to magnify during the holidays.

9:17 am

jmcnrick

gosh hoot!

9:17 am

jmcnrick

i went to check lickety's FB page but the last news was Nov 3

9:18 am

jmcnrick

9:18 am

Haz1558

And a please please please come back to babble?

9:19 am

jmcnrick

no that seemed a little too too if his dad was not doing well and since we don't know. . .

9:20 am

Haz1558

I know. What about mrp's FB page, does she update it frequently?

9:20 am

hootowl

72 Temple Owl

Mr. p posted a day or two ago.

9:29 am

Haz1558

Anything to say they were going away?

9:34 am

72 Temple Owl

No.

9:34 am

72 Temple Owl

sincei am here a clue for the u? then must begin shopping

9:34 am

periwinkle

un7

9:35 am

Haz1558

The mystery remains. un7 - forget what you've been taught.

9:37 am

72 Temple Owl

ty got four words from that one

9:37 am

hurshy

oh haz, here's another star wars lesson opportunity

9:37 am

hurshy

quote from yoda: "you must un7 what you have le5ed"

9:37 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, TO.

9:38 am

Haz1558

Am I still on foundation level, hurshy? I like to think I have progressed a little.

9:39 am

hurshy

i wouldn't take it upon myself to say - but i wouldn't consider knowing an actual quote to be foundation level, it's definitely higher.

9:39 am

hurshy

so, if, for instance, you were to use that quote as a clue later in the day, people might take you for an actual fan

9:39 am

harpjane

lol one grey tile (the U)

9:39 am

Haz1558

Excellent. I'll be sure to store it in the memory banks.

9:40 am

Haz1558

I don't know whether I'd want to be taken as a fan. False pretences and all that. I've never actually watched any of the films.

9:40 am

hurshy

you know there IS a way to alter that situation

9:41 am

Haz1558

I know, but I just don't think I could face it. Funny wee people with odd names....

9:41 am

harpjane

mooner is a word, at least in MY family

9:41 am

hurshy

did you not like the wizard of oz then?

9:42 am

Haz1558

Confession. I've never watched the WIzard of Oz the whole way through either.

9:42 am

hurshy

gee haz, you're practically marilla

9:43 am

periwinkle

Anne of Green Gables?

9:43 am

Haz1558

I know. I'm a lost cause, I think.

9:43 am

hurshy

i suppose you're never in the depths of despair

9:44 am

hurshy

nor transported to ridiculous heights of delight in anticipation of something

9:44 am

harpjane

clue for the ra 8-9?

9:44 am

Haz1558

Oh, I can talk Anne okay, I know about the race of Joseph and the White Way of Delight.

9:45 am

Haz1558

ra8 and ra9 come from ra6 - which runs together a rodent and the end of animation after car.

9:45 am

hurshy

yes but what i mean is, you, like marilla, are not into fanciful things like anne is. not liking funny wee people. and perhaps, like marilla, you also are not subject to great extremes of emotional disturbance.

9:46 am

harpjane

thanks haz

9:46 am

Haz1558

No, I'm pretty much on an even keel. I took a quiz to test my emotional responses etc and I'm pretty buttoned up according to the results.

9:46 am

Haz1558

People tell me I look very calm all the time.

9:46 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, harpjane.

9:46 am

hurshy

yep, see, it all fits. you're marilla.

9:46 am

harpjane

or5?

9:47 am

Haz1558

Fair enough, I'm Marilla. But not as completely buttoned up as she was.

9:47 am

periwinkle

harp like the color without the vowel at the end

9:47 am

hurshy

i guess drug slang isn't in enable's reach

9:47 am

Haz1558

or5 -almost a colourful fruit.

9:47 am

hurshy

magic mu******* to be precise.

9:47 am

harpjane

ah, the ape!

9:49 am

harpjane

can someone help me figure out which O's come from the right hand column? I'm trying to avoid 4 letter words and it's harder than I though!

9:49 am

Haz1558

The ones involving public speaking come from that o.

9:50 am

Haz1558

Also the anagram of what a chimney sweet clears up.

9:50 am

hurshy

any gh?

9:50 am

Haz1558

No gh.

9:50 am

hurshy

phew

9:51 am

hurshy

how many gn?

9:51 am

harpjane

thanks, nbt and nbs except for the h4

9:51 am

harpjane

two, hurshy

9:52 am

Haz1558

It's easy, harpjane, I'm sure you'll be inclined to say so when you find it.

9:52 am

harpjane

gn4 and 5

9:52 am

hurshy

jack and jill went up the h

9:52 am

hurshy

ok, good, no more gn for me then

9:52 am

harpjane

haz i'm trying to complete the entire grid EXCEPT the four letter words

9:52 am

hurshy

ohhhhh

9:52 am

hurshy

how funny

9:53 am

Haz1558

Dear me. There's a new approach. Are you going to have a four letter frenzy at the end?

9:53 am

harpjane

i doubt if i will, haz, because IT'S DRIVING ME CRAZY at the beginning....

9:54 am

periwinkle

bbl

9:54 am

Haz1558

Dare I ask why the four letter ban?

9:54 am

hurshy

finding new ways to let babble drive you crazy... kinda masochistic there harp

9:54 am

Haz1558

See you later, peri.

9:55 am

72 Temple Owl

there's an indian poet int he gird.

9:55 am

Haz1558

And there's a Scottish town.

9:56 am

hurshy

and there's a reptilian species from a star trek episode

9:56 am

hurshy

something for all our tastes :)

9:56 am

Haz1558

LIke I'm going to know that....

9:58 am

Haz1558

This is a well known golfing town, so the sports fans should get it.

9:58 am

hurshy

i feel like there should be more GL words than i've got

9:58 am

Haz1558

There are 3.

9:58 am

72 Temple Owl

does it end with the he sheep?

9:58 am

hurshy

then my feeling is wrong

9:59 am

72 Temple Owl

or more precisely the unit of weight?

9:59 am

Haz1558

No, in babble it would be tr5/10, to rhyme with soon.

10:00 am

Atalante

helloooo :)

10:00 am

Haz1558

Helloooooo!

10:00 am

phaeton

hello

10:00 am

Atalante

there's also a Jedi Master :)

10:01 am

Haz1558

Hello, phaeton.

10:03 am

Haz1558

There's almost the Russian family name.

10:03 am

Haz1558

To go along with the ts4.

10:04 am

Haz1558

The Royal Russian family name, I should have said.

10:04 am

phaeton

Are you listing words that are almost in the grid?

10:05 am

hurshy

haz, show off your quote for ata

10:05 am

Haz1558

I'm not sure what we're doing. ro6/21 is one letter shy of being the Russian dynasty.

10:06 am

Haz1558

As Yod said 'You must un7 what you have le5ed.'

10:06 am

Haz1558

Yoda (excitement made me lose a letter)

10:06 am

hurshy

*claps*

10:07 am

Haz1558

*Bowing*

10:07 am

Haz1558

I bet Ata faints.

10:07 am

goodness me!!!!!

10:07 am

Atalante

10:07 am

hurshy

*beams proudly* - i taught her that

10:07 am

Haz1558

*smug*

10:08 am

Atalante

does she know which Jedi Master is in the grid though???

10:08 am

hurshy

prolly not

10:08 am

Haz1558

No. I may just pout.

10:08 am

phaeton

Thank you Haz

10:08 am

Atalante

awwww, well your quote was quite fantastic

10:08 am

Kaplan the Magne

is there lickety today?

10:09 am

hurshy

now you're discouraging her, ata. she needs positive reinforcement.

10:09 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, phaeton.

10:09 am

hurshy

that's better

10:09 am

Kaplan the Magne

squat

10:09 am

Kaplan the Magne

Ah sorry!

10:09 am

Haz1558

No Lickety today, but I'm quoting Star Wars to amuse the masses.

10:09 am

Vicuna

Qui Gon!

10:10 am

Haz1558

Yes, positive reinforcement was severely lacking from my needlework teacher and look what that has led to.

10:10 am

Vicuna

Hello, all!

10:10 am

Atalante

yay vi!!!

10:10 am

Haz1558

Holes in socks, unmended stuff, hems adrift, no buttons.

10:10 am

72 Temple Owl

quoting star trek would be more amusing

10:10 am

Haz1558

Hello Vi!

10:10 am

Atalante

Vi is teaching you now :)

10:10 am

Vicuna

My goodness, Haz, you really shouldn't be out int hat blouse with no buttons!

10:11 am

Haz1558

I can do Star Trek. 'Beam me up, Scotty' and 'We can get no more from the engines, Captain'

10:11 am

Atalante

canna get more

10:11 am

72 Temple Owl

i think that is ""nae morrrr"

10:11 am

hurshy

actually, kirk never said the exact phrase "beam me up, scotty"

10:11 am

Haz1558

I know. My arrest for indecent exposure can be laid at the feet of the needlework women.

10:11 am

Haz1558

Did Scotty come from Troon, I wonder?

10:12 am

hurshy

no, aberdeen

10:12 am

Kaplan the Magne

That's kind of like how Garbo never exactly said "I want to be alone"

Haz1558

Oh, Aberdeen? Much colder place.

10:12 am

hurshy

and nobody said "play it again, sam" in casablanca

10:12 am

Haz1558

And 'Play it again Sam, was it said or not?

10:13 am

ChrissieDee

hi babblers - just checking to see if my icon has changed

10:13 am

Haz1558

You dirty rat - did Cagney ever say it?

10:13 am

Vicuna

Just explain to the officers that it's part of your campaign to amuse the masses, Haz. Then quote some Star Trek or Star Wars and I'm sure they'll be understanding.

10:13 am

Vicuna

Not.

10:13 am

hurshy

"play it, sam", was, i believe, however.

10:13 am

Kaplan the Magne

Woody Allen's movie made it Play it again"0- otherwise it was just play it!

10:13 am

phaeton

He did, I heard him!

10:13 am

ChrissieDee

it's a cartoon from an email my sister sent me, and I'm sharing with all ladies of a certain age ;)

10:13 am

Haz1558

If a half-clad woman starts quoting Star Wars to the PSNI, I'll end up in the clink or the home for the bewildered.

10:14 am

hurshy

well, make sure you've seen bringing up baby first so you can use katherine hepburn's methods to get out of the clink

10:14 am

72 Temple Owl

there are not 4 wwords from the first column s. i don't believe it.

10:15 am

hurshy

72 Temple Owl

there are only 2.

10:15 am

Haz1558

sl4/5 - to rhyme with sticky stuff

10:15 am

72 Temple Owl

yes and what a pitchman does

10:16 am

Haz1558

Santa's going to be vehicleless if there isn't sl6.

10:16 am

hurshy

10:16 am

72 Temple Owl

counties in eire don't count

10:17 am

Angelsong

morning, all. My father brought us a great early Christmas present this weekend. Half a pallet of carpet grass for the back yard. It is wonderful. It's been laid and watered already.

10:17 am

hurshy

so you're not in a snow area, then.

10:18 am

Angelsong

10:20 am

sadie52

Hello everyone

10:20 am

Mary

Hi all, very timely, Santa's vehicle is in the grid today

10:20 am

Angelsong

10:21 am

Mary

10:24 am

Vicuna

Are they monkeys or or5/14's?

10:25 am

hurshy

10:25 am

Atalante

I don't have monkeys. I have kittens.

hurshy

10:25 am

Haz1558

Hello sadie.

10:25 am

72 Temple Owl

10:25 am

sadie52

think i just need to recall my brain from vaca

10:25 am

Haz1558

Don't mention Jordan when Ata's around.

10:25 am

Haz1558

Vicuna

Noor

hurshy

10:26 am

Vicuna

hurshy

10:26 am

hurshy

what the heck is french cochinchina???

10:27 am

72 Temple Owl

10:27 am

Atalante

now you mention it ...

10:27 am

Vicuna

What Vietnam was when this was the name of the capital.)

10:27 am

72 Temple Owl

you met the queen?

10:27 am

Haz1558

Saigon

10:28 am

hurshy

no, i met tom brokaw. i was uninterested in the queen.

10:28 am

72 Temple Owl

no wonder they wanted to be liberated. saigon is much shorter

10:28 am

Haz1558

*faints*

10:28 am

72 Temple Owl

hurshy how can you purport to be british and be uninterested in the queen?

10:28 am

Haz1558

No would be Briton could be uninterested in the QUeen. It's against the law.

10:28 am

hurshy

vietnam was french cochinchina? wow. wait, so saigon isn't saigon anymore

10:28 am

72 Temple Owl

*runs for smellijng salts. and brandy bottle*

10:29 am

hurshy

the queen of jordan, not The Queen!!!

10:29 am

Vicuna

I taught at the school where the Princess of Jordan went. She came back to do the graduation speech. But I didn't go.

10:29 am

hurshy

what is saigon now then?

10:29 am

72 Temple Owl

no it is ho chi minh city. still shorter.

10:29 am

hurshy

i didn't know saigon and ho chi minh city were the same place. how uninformed i am.

10:30 am

Haz1558

Ah! THE Queen, the others don't quite count.

10:30 am

hurshy

of course i would have been interested in THE Queen.

10:30 am

Haz1558

Feeling better for knowing that.

10:31 am

72 Temple Owl

now what am i going to do with this brandy?

10:31 am

Vicuna

(I should say *a* Princess of Jordan. There must be dozens.)

10:31 am

hurshy

people are all interested in noor cause she's gorgeous and smart and well-informed and all that. eh. did the sun never set on HER empire at any point? noooo

10:31 am

Haz1558

Give it to a St Bernard?

10:31 am

Vicuna

Christen a ship?

10:31 am

72 Temple Owl

well no none has named the poet.

10:32 am

Haz1558

Down it in one?

10:32 am

72 Temple Owl

make egg nog?

10:32 am

Haz1558

You need to give us a clue. Indian poet?

10:32 am

Vicuna

Poet? We're looking for a poet?

10:32 am

Haz1558

Omar?

10:32 am

hurshy

i didn't know saigon was ho chi minh city and you think i'm going to know an indian poet?

10:32 am

Haz1558

Who's Ra4/6 Omar?

10:33 am

Haz1558

Or is that just a name in my head?

10:33 am

Atalante

TV presenter I think

10:33 am

Haz1558

See, hurshy, if you moved out all the Star Trek and star Wars stuff from your memory, you'd have loads of room for new facts.

10:33 am

Atalante

Watchdog? maybe? I definitely recognise the name

10:33 am

Haz1558

You're right, Ata. I do think he writes poetry as well. Bound to. I claim the prize.

10:34 am

72 Temple Owl

tagore.

10:34 am

Haz1558

Darn. I was close.

10:34 am

Atalante

omar khayyam! omar?

10:34 am

Haz1558

Four letters correct.

10:35 am

Haz1558

Omar Shariff in his younger days would have inspired poetry.

10:35 am

Vicuna

I'll give you a poet:
There once was a Babbler named T Owl
Who brought in some brandy most foul.
But no one would drink it
- No, don't even think it -
And poor TO started to howl.

10:35 am

hurshy

we are in bad shape in my house. i'm sick, husband is stressed writing end of semester papers, and microsoft just crashed on him, he lost some work, and he's very mad. meanwhile we have no food in the house.

10:35 am

Haz1558

Excellent!

10:36 am

72 Temple Owl

ooh i watched Zhivago yesterday and thought the same! those liquid eyes!

10:36 am

Atalante

wonderful, Vi!

10:36 am

Vicuna

When I have liquid eyes everyone just says "Quit crying."

10:36 am

Atalante

how is husband health-wise, hurshy?

10:36 am

hurshy

and now he has to go have his consultation with the kidney specialist about the small mass he has.

10:36 am

Haz1558

He was something else, wasn't he, TO? He's still alive but doesn't act any more, I don't think.

10:37 am

Vicuna

Oh dear. Sending supportive vibes to hurshy's house.

10:37 am

hurshy

we don't know ata, appointment is today, then will decide about biopsy/surgery/etc

10:37 am

72 Temple Owl

no. doesn'the play bridge?

10:37 am

Haz1558

I'd get food into the house, everything's better when there's food in the house.

10:37 am

Atalante

good luck :)

10:37 am

Haz1558

He plays something that involves lots of gambling, I know that much. Is it backgammon?

10:37 am

Atalante

bridge

10:38 am

hurshy

i suggested the getting of food on way home to husband but i don't know if he will do it

10:38 am

Haz1558

You're right, it's bridge.

10:38 am

Haz1558

I wonder if Jillibus and Flosey know him.

10:38 am

Haz1558

No wonder they're keen.

10:38 am

Vicuna

They probably gamble with him every Monday night.

10:39 am

Haz1558

It's very likely. They're holding out on us, trying to keep him to themselves.

10:39 am

72 Temple Owl

don't check wiki. you will be sad if you do. trust me.

10:39 am

Haz1558

Is there a picture of him looking a wreck?

10:39 am

Atalante

that bad?

10:40 am

Atalante

name that russian composer's first name!

10:40 am

Haz1558

I won't look, I'll let the liquid eyes memory stay in my mind.

10:40 am

Vicuna

sergei

10:40 am

Haz1558

Sergi

10:40 am

Vicuna

Oh wait, that isn't in there.

10:40 am

Atalante

oh yes, really don't look

10:41 am

Haz1558

We need that running transcript. 'Don't look at Omar SHariff in Wiki'

10:41 am

Atalante

he wrote a ballet about my favourite thing to draw

10:41 am

Haz1558

Hobbit?

10:42 am

hurshy

that's how i feel about andy griffith. but we have to know how he looked when he got old cause he kept acting.

10:42 am

Vicuna

It should scroll across the bottom of the computer screen at all times like the breaking nes on television.

10:42 am

Vicuna

Firebirds!

10:42 am

Atalante

I've never ever drawn Hobbit!

10:42 am

Atalante

so .... keep going Vi :)

10:42 am

Vicuna

But I'm afraid I was right about the spelling and therefore he isn't really there.

10:43 am

flosey

lol, just reading back in the chat - yes, Jilli and I have Omar snugged away safely here on SSI, we take turns as his bridge partner every Monday

10:43 am

Vicuna

(I didn't get firebirds, I was answering Ata's question.)

10:43 am

Haz1558

There's going to be a Diaghilev Exhibition at the V and A in September next year.

10:43 am

Atalante

he wasn't called sergei!

10:43 am

Haz1558

We knew it, flosey!

10:43 am

Vicuna

No? Did his mama call him "boopsie?"

10:43 am

flosey

have a bit of difficulty concentrating on bridge while gazing into those eyes

10:44 am

Atalante

you're all hopeless. Igor Stravinsky

10:44 am

hurshy

name that proper noun! the first company of the decade to be discovered in ripping everybody off

10:44 am

Vicuna

Oh yes. I guess I did get that muddled. *sigh*

10:44 am

Vicuna

Enron

10:44 am

Uneaixoise

enron!

10:45 am

hurshy

ding ding ding!

10:45 am

Atalante

sergei was prokofiev, and probably many others

10:45 am

Uneaixoise

:-D

10:45 am

Vicuna

I even tried "igor" earlier. I was thinking of the igors in Discworld, though. lol

10:45 am

hurshy

prokofiev wrote peter and the wolf

10:45 am

hurshy

see, i do know something

10:45 am

72 Temple Owl

onlyhave three i words so far

10:45 am

Vicuna

I was thinking Rachmaninoff, myself, with the Sergei.

10:46 am

72 Temple Owl

can it ever be sergai?

10:46 am

Atalante

you just like showing off with longer names :)

10:46 am

Uneaixoise

i tried igor too! LOL

10:46 am

flosey

Peter and the Wolf was one of our kids favourite books

10:46 am

Haz1558

ig4 - eskimo txtspk for home

10:46 am

72 Temple Owl

now i have 6 ty

10:46 am

Haz1558

You can ig6 that clue if you wish.

10:46 am

Vicuna

Wow, Haz. I'd be afraid to live in a txtspk. I'd always be bumping my head on all the sharp points.

10:46 am

Atalante

mine too, flosey

10:46 am

hurshy

it's a transliteration so it can kinda be anything that you can pronounce and recognize as the name.

10:47 am

Haz1558

No sharp corners in an ig4, probably one of the estate agent's selling features.

10:47 am

72 Temple Owl

ig ig ig ih io io

10:47 am

hurshy

it's only convention to spell it a certain way with our alphabet. and do we care about convention? (haz, don't answer that)

10:48 am

Haz1558

Not care about convention?

10:48 am

hurshy

there's an ih?

10:48 am

Vicuna

Not in an ig, but lots in a txtspk. You can't even say it without stabbing yourself.

10:48 am

Haz1558

What sort of revolutionary thoughts are you having?

10:48 am

hurshy

TO, there's an iL

10:48 am

Haz1558

ih plus a male sheep.

10:48 am

hurshy

aha, got the ih!

10:48 am

72 Temple Owl

which was staring me in the face all this time. ty

10:48 am

hurshy

alternate transliterations, haz.

10:49 am

Vicuna

Aha, thanks, for the ih, all.

10:49 am

Haz1558

I know, I abhor textspeak. I punctuate as normal when I text, it takes forever.

10:49 am

hurshy

i am NOT doing well on the bottom E.

10:49 am

72 Temple Owl

for some reason i have begun wanting to spell that word with a middle i. getting se6

10:49 am

hurshy

it drives me SO crazy that they don't even provide an apostrophe for text messages (at least not on my phone).

10:49 am

Atalante

bottom E - think Salem witch trials

10:49 am

Vicuna

Well, you can hear with the bottom e.

10:50 am

hurshy

yeah, i got the moldy poison words and the hearing

10:50 am

hurshy

and therefore and sea birds

10:50 am

Vicuna

and the therefore

10:50 am

Atalante

the sea eagles?

10:50 am

hurshy

but that still leaves 4 which is 40% missing!

10:50 am

Haz1558

Therefore can be extended somewhat.

10:50 am

Vicuna

Oh well, then I think we've got all the same.

10:50 am

Vicuna

that's the mold, Haz?

10:51 am

hurshy

extended somewhat to the moldy poison haz?

10:51 am

Vicuna

But I don't have witch trials... *looking*

10:51 am

Haz1558

You mean the mould? Standards, I must stick up for standards.....

10:51 am

72 Temple Owl

or the natural lsd lf you are so inclined

10:51 am

Atalante

the mould = the witch trials words

10:51 am

hurshy

ata means that the witch trials may have been caused by the accusing girls having er5 poisoning

10:52 am

72 Temple Owl

which trials?

10:52 am

Vicuna

Nope, I mean mold. lol! Oh, really, Ata. Is that why people were feeling bewitched or something?

10:52 am

Atalante

which witch trials?

10:52 am

Haz1558

en6/27 - en plus the end of the tele that the Queen used to send.

10:52 am

hurshy

10:52 am

Atalante

yep, cos of the hallucigens in the moulds

10:52 am

72 Temple Owl

read the book the day of st anthony's fire. it may well have been so.

10:52 am

Vicuna

I guess I had heard that. Didn't remember it, though. If I remembered everything I ever le5-ed, boy would I be brilliant.

10:52 am

hurshy

oh, i have that one too

10:52 am

Atalante

the number of trials coincided with a certain amount of time after each batch of bread making

10:53 am

Haz1558

Salem trials as in The Crucible. Did anyone ever see 'Three Sovereigns for Sarah' based on the trials?

10:53 am

hurshy

ok, so i had forgotten to enter the hearing one.

10:53 am

hurshy

no, i hadn't

10:53 am

hurshy

10:53 am

72 Temple Owl

Atalante

Vicuna

Ah, e's done.

10:56 am

Haz1558

Yes, en6/21, en6/27 (add a weight), en6/18 and its plural en7 - think planting etc

10:56 am

hurshy

10:56 am

Haz1558

10:57 am

Vicuna

ah, ea5, I think, pl ending

10:57 am

hurshy

oh i got it!!

10:57 am

Haz1558

Although it comes from a top e so is not what she seeks.

10:57 am

hurshy

yay!

10:57 am

Vicuna

No, pl comes fromt he bottom.

10:58 am

hurshy

i think haz was responding to ata's yay for the eL

10:58 am

Haz1558

I was.

10:58 am

bojazz

hello

10:58 am

Vicuna

Oh, I see.
Anyway, I guess it's time to seek sustenance.

10:58 am

Haz1558

Hello, bojazz.

10:58 am

hurshy

i would seek sustenance if we had food.

10:58 am

Atalante

I'm causing confusion

10:58 am

Vicuna

Back later, all!

10:58 am

Haz1558

Enjoy lunch, VI.

10:58 am

hurshy

but i'm here to clear up confusion so it's all good.

10:59 am

72 Temple Owl

*slips out side door*

10:59 am

Atalante

maybe I should just go back to drawing Daleks lol

10:59 am

Haz1558

Hauls TO back here. What about that brandy?

11:00 am

hurshy

why don't you draw Ood instead

11:00 am

Haz1558

What is its destination?

11:00 am

Atalante

because I'm drawing Daleks :)

11:00 am

72 Temple Owl

good thing you are not a dune fan. you would be drawing sand worms.

11:01 am

hurshy

i could draw that huge beastie from torchwood that they were using as a never ending supply of meat, that one is easy enough for me

11:01 am

Atalante

even I could draw him :)

11:01 am

Atalante

sand worms are fun to draw

11:01 am

Haz1558

I'm a fan of Dune the perfume but that sounds horrible, TO.

11:01 am

hurshy

which aliens freak you out most, ata?

11:01 am

Haz1558

Frenchmen.

11:01 am

hurshy

lol

11:01 am

Atalante

of any sci-fi series? or torchwood?

11:02 am

Atalante

Sicilians are quite scary

11:02 am

hurshy

any series

11:02 am

72 Temple Owl

i think they are rather phallic. to be polite. sandworms not frenchmen.

11:02 am

Atalante

sandworms certainly are!

11:02 am

hurshy

i think it applies equally, TO

11:02 am

hurshy

no wait that's gallic. sorry. ;)

11:02 am

72 Temple Owl

esp in the crummy dune movie.

11:02 am

Atalante

hmmmmm

11:03 am

Haz1558

It sounds as though I shouldn't put Dune on my list of films to see.

11:03 am

72 Temple Owl

read the books. not so much fantasy as speculative science.

11:04 am

Atalante

it's got Kyle McLachlan in leather. That alone makes it worth seeing

11:04 am

Haz1558

Oh, give me a history book any time, better to have a bit of truth about what happened than a lot of speculation about the future.

11:05 am

72 Temple Owl

well yes there's that. but please - let.s agree not to wiki him. wiki is downright scary.

11:05 am

72 Temple Owl

these fellows are not aging like cary grant for sure.

11:05 am

Haz1558

So, we add Kyle McLachlan to the running transcript?

11:06 am

Haz1558

Do not Wiki Kyle McLachlan or Omar Shariff'

11:06 am

Haz1558

Captain Kirk is another one.

11:06 am

hurshy

*waiting patiently for ata's freakiest scariest alien*

11:06 am

72 Temple Owl

well i don't know about kyle for sure. taking no chances.

11:06 am

Haz1558

What's his real name? He's not ageing well either.

11:06 am

Atalante

you can wiki Kyle

11:06 am

Haz1558

Peter Mandelson.

11:06 am

hurshy

william shatner

11:07 am

Haz1558

William Shatner, the very one.

11:07 am

Atalante

I really don't know! Peter Mandelson is certainly the scariest thing on this planet

11:07 am

72 Temple Owl

who is peter mandelson?

11:07 am

Haz1558

Peter Mandelson is a creepy British politician.

11:08 am

Haz1558

As Ann Widdicombe once said of another minister 'He has something of the night about him.'

11:08 am

hurshy

well i get unreasonably freaked by the weeping angels and now have an irrational fear of all statuary. even though i try to remind myself that all they do is send you back in time which isn't so bad.

11:08 am

Atalante

creepy silmy horrid

11:08 am

Atalante

I don't like anything with big knives

11:08 am

Haz1558

He keeps getting sacked and he keeps getting back into favour until he now has more titles than all members of parliament and the royal family combined.

11:08 am

72 Temple Owl

imdb has this mini bio of kyle: The "boy next door, if that boy spent lots of time alone in the basement" he is a bit creepy.

11:08 am

11:13 am

Atalante

11:13 am

Haz1558

Ata got it first but hurshy is my Star Wars tutor so I'm awarding it to her. Her entry takes longer to get here because she's so far away.

11:14 am

hurshy

this is why ding ding ding is safer, haz, it can blanket all the correct answer getters

11:14 am

Haz1558

AND Ata wastes exclamation marks.

11:14 am

72 Temple Owl

the q words are not kind.

11:14 am

Atalante

*crosses Haz off the Christmas card list for next year*

11:14 am

Haz1558

Oh dear. I'm going to have to admire Hobbit's purple collar a LOT.

11:14 am

Atalante

:D

11:15 am

hurshy

qu's not so bad except for qu + str****t not crooked, and plural

11:15 am

Haz1558

And that matching purple lead.

11:15 am

Atalante

we should teach her a new ST phrase

11:16 am

hurshy

how about, "all things being equal, mr. scott, i would agree. however, things are not equal."

11:16 am

72 Temple Owl

does anyone's dog wear a coat?

11:16 am

Haz1558

Not Spangle.

11:16 am

Haz1558

Not even a Santa one on Christmas Day.

11:17 am

72 Temple Owl

you should have seen robin roberts' dogs coat and matching tam today. it was embarrassing. and she such a sensible seeming gir. my image is forever altered.

11:17 am

Haz1558

Not a matching tam. That's cruel.

11:18 am

Atalante

the best best one is ""I am NOT a merry man!!!"

11:18 am

hurshy

11:18 am

kje

11:18 am

Haz1558

I can just see Mr Haz's face if I kitted Spangle out in a coat and tam.

11:19 am

Haz1558

See you, kje.

11:19 am

hurshy

lol, yeah, that was pretty good - all interactions between worf and q produce much humor

11:19 am

72 Temple Owl

it was KNITTED

11:19 am

Haz1558

Knitted? But in the rain it would get so bedraggled!

11:19 am

Atalante

"If you can't take a little bloody nose, maybe you oughtta go back home and crawl under your bed. It's not safe out here. It's wondrous, with treasures to satiate desires both subtle and gross; but it's not for the timid."

11:19 am

hurshy

like when q says "you'll have to forgive worf, he's just discovered he has opposable thumbs and he's feeling overly excited"

11:20 am

Atalante

I love Q

11:20 am

helensgirlkid

Imagine a rather small dog in plaid raincoat and matching sou'wester, and boots!

11:20 am

Haz1558

I knew a man once who made the mistake of going golfing while wearing an aran sweater. It began to rain, but he had paid so much for the round that he pressed on. by the time he finished, the sweater had retained so much water that it was round his knees.

11:21 am

Atalante

and was never back in shape again?

11:21 am

72 Temple Owl

well it was cold weather gear for the snow. it was hidious.

11:21 am

helensgirlkid

Clearly not oiled aran yarn

11:21 am

11:21 am

72 Temple Owl

hideous even

11:22 am

Haz1558

No, but the oiled aran yarn is ghastly to knit with.

11:58 am

Dorens

my son has a whippet who must sleep under the covers.. and he slept in my bed last night.. the cat who usually sleeps there made allowances for him and slept on top of the covers on the other side

11:59 am

hurshy

what a very understanding cat!

11:59 am

Book Doctor Gwen

awwwwww

12:00 pm

Dorens

i'm just shocked that he actually could sleep, knowing that his nemesis the dog was underneath. and he DID know it, that was obvious.

12:00 pm

hurshy

it's always nice to see emotional growth in any creature.

12:01 pm

Dorens

nice way of putting it... i hadn't thought of that. it really was emotional growth.

12:01 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

Hi Ata, on this snowy eve.

3:52 pm

hydra

I'm thinking of Neneh Cherry. Just looked it up.

3:52 pm

Nancy Boy

Hydra, I just read your bio - sounds awesome

3:53 pm

hydra

Hi Nancy Boy. You've quoted my all time fave Neil Young song on your profile. (Tho I also love Helpless)

3:53 pm

Atalante

Neneh Cherry is great

3:54 pm

Nancy Boy

For me it's a close call between After the Gold Rush and Cinnamon Girl...but ATGR is just so enchanting

3:54 pm

Atalante

After The Gold Rush is just sublime

3:54 pm

crosshair

i like him in his csny days

3:55 pm

hydra

Nancy... oops, forgot what I put. Will have to look. I got right up close with Neil once, at a recording of a BBC2 prog years ago when I was a music journalist.

3:55 pm

hydra

Yes cross, I loved him in his CSNY days too. Had all the albums.

3:56 pm

Nancy Boy

Oh Hydra, that's so lucky! I'm a real music nut...saw him at Glastonbury this year, but had to hop between him and Springsteen :)

3:56 pm

hydra

What a choice!!!

3:56 pm

Michnick

I give up - g'night all. *poof*

3:57 pm

hydra

Hate to boast but I had lunch with Marc Bolan.

3:57 pm

crosshair

lol,i used to be quite an audiophile..till i got married;(( wife eventually made me get rid of all those "dusty" records...sniff

3:57 pm

Nancy Boy

It was AWFUL! I was frustrated to tears ;) luckily for me Springsteen's set was elongated - as he himself said, "it's not curfew time, it's BOSS time"

3:57 pm

hydra

Nite Mich

3:57 pm

Nancy Boy

Hydra, you're killing me here...:')

3:57 pm

hydra

Yes, sorry about that!

3:57 pm

Nancy Boy

Oh Crossy, that would destroy me!

3:58 pm

Nancy Boy

Hydra, I bet you've got some stories to tell. Was Marc Bolan nice?! Was Neil Young?!

3:58 pm

hydra

I used to live close to Camden, in Kentish Town. Wish I was still there. Mind you, I'm a bit old for clubbing now.

3:59 pm

crosshair

best i can say nancy boy is i saw nazareth in 79, and burton cummings in 94 and kim mitchell actually lives in town,so we see him often'

3:59 pm

hydra

Cross, I lived with a guy who made me get rid of all my records. Why do we give into them, eh?

3:59 pm

Atalante

<3 Marc

3:59 pm

crosshair

indeed hydra;((

4:00 pm

hydra

Marc was somewhere else. So creative and kind of fey. It was as if he was hardly there. Mind you, he could have been stoned! Didn't get to talk to Neil but the charisma...!

4:00 pm

Nancy Boy

I SAW Colin Greenwood from Radiohead, my favourite band, in a pub in Oxfordshire...but I was too scared to talk to him!

4:00 pm

crosshair

my records..sniff..sniff i didnt even have a t.v for 3 years,but i had a 15 thousand dollar pile of audio equipment;))

4:00 pm

Nancy Boy

which I will regret for EVER

4:01 pm

periwinkle

help pls, missing one of the last qu5/16, have writing implement

4:01 pm

hydra

When I see someone famous out of context, as it were, I'm never quite sure if it's them or my imagination!

4:01 pm

crosshair

never be scared to talk to them nb,they are just people too:)

4:01 pm

hydra

Hi peri. I need two more q's, too.

4:02 pm

Atalante

every time I go over to Oregon, I get to smile and wave at Krist Novoselic, the bassist for Nirvana

4:02 pm

hydra

Cross, 15,000 dollars of equipment? You must have had studio quality sound.

4:02 pm

Atalante

every time I'm desperate to go and fling myself at him and request days of stories

4:02 pm

Shirlockc

to qu*** the rebellion

4:02 pm

crosshair

its was amazing hydra,you could hear every nuance..sigh...

4:02 pm

hydra

I bet, Ata. Why don't you - with hidden tape recorder in pocket?

4:03 pm

Nancy Boy

I know Crossy, isn't it silly? Colin's got a reputation as the nicest guy in rock, too, but he was sitting with his wife and I knew if I tried to talk to him, I would have jumped on him

4:03 pm

crosshair

i even had a mixing board in there

4:03 pm

Atalante

because he's so sweet and lovely, and obviously happy in his life *now*

4:03 pm

crosshair

lol nb,no jumping the stars lol

4:03 pm

hydra

Oh cross... As a songwriter/composer I would love sond quality like that.

4:04 pm

hydra

Nancy, I daren't tell some of my music bix stories with regard to jumping!!! But it was a long time ago.

4:04 pm

crosshair

because with that quality,the "dead" spaces are equally as important,great for litening to the blues,or clapton

4:04 pm

Nancy Boy

if you could meet one famous person, who would you choose?

4:05 pm

hydra

I saw Clapton twice at the Albert Hall. Brilliant.

4:05 pm

Atalante

from any time, or just living?

4:05 pm

Nancy Boy

any time at all, Ata

4:05 pm

Nancy Boy

I'd take Jim Morrison. EVERY time.

4:05 pm

crosshair

id go back in time nb and meet nat cole

4:05 pm

periwinkle

Shirl, saw your clue but still not getting it, thanks tho

4:06 pm

Atalante

Marc Bolan :) Or old artist people

4:06 pm

Shirlockc

means to stop, rhymes with ringing a b***

4:06 pm

Atalante

or Kurt Cobain, but I'm never quite sure whether that would be wasting the opportunity

4:06 pm

periwinkle

my cat threw up on the casrpet, aargh!!!

4:06 pm

hydra

I'm still thinking, Nancy and Ata. I think it might be Keats, the poet, as his words really speak to me.

4:06 pm

periwinkle

*carpete* even

4:06 pm

Nancy Boy

Of the living, I'd meet Thom Yorke. But in a choice between them...if I had to choose, I'd cry

4:07 pm

hydra

Oh peri!!!!

4:07 pm

crosshair

what i did peri,was buy a carpet the exact shade and hue of cat puke and hair balls

4:07 pm

periwinkle

4:07 pm

Sally-catlover

4:08 pm

hydra

4:08 pm

Nancy Boy

4:08 pm

4:12 pm

Nancy Boy

Oh my god. As soon as my brian clears enough to read...

4:12 pm

4:13 pm

Atalante

4:14 pm

Wow, Seain--tough for the college kids that studied and want the semester over with.

Scrabbler

Seain, how old are your nephews?

6:17 pm

welki

it's a disgrace, seain ... for such a "progressive" city, we have a snow budget 1/3 that of edmonton's

6:17 pm

dcseain

shocking to me, that

6:17 pm

dcseain

10 and 3 are the boys

6:18 pm

DR1965

10 is an interesting age

6:18 pm

Scrabbler

Hi DR

6:18 pm

dcseain

it is. especially one who is not fully mature for his age with a 3-yr-old

6:19 pm

DR1965

JACob is not mature for his age either and he will be 11 on the 8th of January

6:19 pm

DR1965

Hi Scrabs!

6:19 pm

dcseain

Jaden will be 11 in May. So maybe i know less about males that age than i know.

6:19 pm

Scrabbler

My oldest nephew is 21 and he is not mature for his age--not saying much

6:19 pm

dcseain

hello, dr

6:20 pm

DR1965

Hi DC- Good to see ya

6:20 pm

dcseain

men are useless untill at least 26, IMNSHO

6:20 pm

DR1965

I say 30 - lol

6:20 pm

Dorens

well, they CAN shovel the snow, can't they?

6:20 pm

dcseain

i tend to agree, DR

6:21 pm

dcseain

well, yes Dorens, and cut grass

6:21 pm

Scrabbler

Good to have confirmation, Seain. My hope is that at 25-26 my nephews will be "mature" and "responsible". They are now 21, 19 and 16 and cause me such worry.

6:21 pm

Scrabbler

Hi Doren

6:21 pm

DR1965

Hi Dorens

6:21 pm

Dorens

all right, not totally useless then. But boys in general tend to mature later. Hi scrabs, sebastian feeling better?

6:21 pm

dcseain

speaking for myself, i did not perceive myself as fully mature until i was 32.

6:22 pm

Scrabbler

Yes, he is fine now. I am SO relieved!

6:22 pm

Dorens

that's good news

6:22 pm

dcseain

true, Doren. I spent years with 11-13 year-olds in sunday school. 6th grade boys and 8th grade ones are different creatures.

6:22 pm

Scrabbler

I felt like an adult at 42--8 yrs ago.

6:23 pm

dcseain

exactly

6:23 pm

Scrabbler

Doctors have a prolonged adolescence--enter "real" word when residency ends at 29 or later

6:23 pm

Dorens

Ken's 8th grade granddaughter is "dating" a sixth grade boy. he must be extremely unusual, and even so.....

6:23 pm

eman

can i have a clue for an 8 letter word

6:24 pm

dcseain

and 8th grade girls are a handful!

6:24 pm

Dorens

i'll never forget the year i was teaching them,... inner city, and then coming home to my own 8th grade daughter.. Not my best year, needless to say

6:24 pm

Scrabbler

Adolescence is just a nightmare, IMO

6:25 pm

Dorens

particularly early adolescence

6:25 pm

dcseain

that must've been tough doren

6:25 pm

dcseain

and so true scrabbs

6:25 pm

Dorens

i survived, seain, but don't know how!

6:25 pm

jillibus

my grandson will be 31 on Dec 26 and is still a university student (going for an MA)

6:26 pm

Scrabbler

"These" days--such wild, reckless behaviors---kids have no shame or hesitation to share their activities and conquests with me

6:26 pm

Scrabbler

Hi Jilli

6:26 pm

dcseain

yes, it's rather shocking at that age anymore

6:26 pm

jillibus

hi scrabs and all

6:26 pm

Dorens

my second son will receive his bachelor's this May, (and will be 31 on 12/28). he had quite an extended period "finding" himself

6:26 pm

dcseain

evening, jilli

6:27 pm

Scrabbler

What an accomplishment for David!!

6:27 pm

Dorens

oh it is indeed scrabbs. This will be quite a celebration... Our third Harvard graduation, we are getting to be old hands at it by now... but his first!

6:27 pm

jillibus

our boys are almost twins, Doren!

6:28 pm

dcseain

ah, dinners on. bbl, maybe. happy babbling! {poof}

6:28 pm

jillibus

ttfn dc! Bon appetit!

6:28 pm

Dorens

indeed jilli. Mine intends to go for his master's in library science... the way he reveres books, it makes sense.. abd bye seain

6:28 pm

Scrabbler

To be lost and then take the steps to where he is -- I admire him for his ambition + perseverance

6:29 pm

jillibus

Doren, what subjects are your son doing?

6:29 pm

Scrabbler

Bye Seain

6:29 pm

welki

girls aren't much different ... my oldest switched majors from pre-med to music education, but is working as a paramedic. difficult when there are so many choices, especially for kids who tend to over-achieve

6:29 pm

jillibus

ok, you already said what. Grandson is doing Creative Writing, also a book lover.

6:30 pm

Dorens

he's majoring in English lit Jilli... is his master's in writing? that's terrific, let us know when he's published

6:31 pm

jillibus

god only knows when that will be, Doren! He has had one poem published in an anthology.

6:32 pm

Dorens

has he a plan on how to feed himself whilst waiting? don't want him to starve before he is discovered

6:32 pm

jillibus

the poem was before he went for his Master's

6:33 pm

Dorens

where is he in school? near y ou?

6:34 pm

jillibus

He teaches ESL (English as a Second Language) by immersion -- plans to teach in the future. He's also been a barista at Starbuck's, a salesman at Tilley Endurables, a tutor of a difficult child, a Woofer in Fance (farming), a tree-planter, can't remember what else.

6:34 pm

eman

can i pls have a clue

6:35 pm

Dorens

David did the barista bit too... for many many years

6:35 pm

jillibus

His undergrad was in Montreal at Concordia, now at UBC (U of British Columbia) in Vancouver.

6:36 pm

jillibus

oh, he also did a year in Chicoutimi, all in French.

6:36 pm

eman

pls clue

6:36 pm

Dorens

Does he graduate this year? interesting experiences

6:36 pm

jillibus

for what, eman? You have to be specific.

6:36 pm

Dorens

eman we don't clue like that... need to ask for something specific

6:37 pm

jillibus

He just started this year. He gets the MA when a thesis has been accepted -- indeterminate time period, I gather.

6:39 pm

rururocks

en 6/18 please?

6:39 pm

jillibus

His name (as shown in FB) is Taylor Daniel Ashman Brown-Evans. He seems to like stringing the whole lot out.

10:24 pm

jillibus

I can imagine, dc -- what is it -- running Windows 3.1?

10:24 pm

dcseain

Win XP, actually.

10:25 pm

mkg

an 7 clue?

10:25 pm

dcseain

i'm not convinced that Verizon didn't hose the browser, myself, but it's a many-year-old multi-repurposed machine.

10:25 pm

jillibus

then why only one window, dc?

10:25 pm

dcseain

the browser hangs if you open more than one window.

10:26 pm

dcseain

and it hangs if i try to download firefox or opera or safari.

10:26 pm

stidmama

maybe not enough RAM? or a lot running in the backgrouns.

10:27 pm

dcseain

probably the case stid, though it doesn't show as maxed, and the dual processors never pass 65%. *shrug* I've looked at it some, but don't need to live with it.

10:27 pm

jillibus

dc, 2 or4 -- one of them climbs
