5:20 am

FMitch

What are the temps like with you lynxx, hot hot hot?

5:21 am

deliciously cold tonight, the house is still a bit warm after a couple of days of heat. Overall not too bad this summer - esp with a bot of rain around

5:22 am

FMitch

oh good re the rain as it was so dry for you last year.
Hows dear woofer?

5:22 am

lynxxx

bit - no o or i left on those keys

5:23 am

FMitch

lol it's funny how the brain read the word anyway and knows what is meant. Thank goodness otherwise half my posts wouldn't mean a thing to other babblers.

5:24 am

FMitch

Haz and Ata have become fluent in FMtyponese :)

5:24 am

lynxxx

he's playing possum (ie pretending to be asleep) which he is not as husband and daughter have both just arrived home. Sitting on his lounge room cushion surrounded by ripped up paper serviettes

5:25 am

FMitch

LOL

5:25 am

lynxxx

Ripping up paper seems to be one of the few games he plays more than once

5:25 am

FMitch

I bet he is pretending that he didn't shread them

5:27 am

lynxxx

Oh no, we give them to him, those or newspaper or tissue etc.

5:28 am

FMitch

Saves buying a shredding machine, whish I had a Stuie instead of a shredder, much more fun

5:29 am

lynxxx

He is really very well behaved, has not wrecked anything in the house yet. Runs off with the occasional fluffy slipper and 'kills' them - but never leaves so much as a hole, just slightly damp

5:30 am

FMitch

He has always sounded like a lovely dog.

5:30 am

lynxxx

Are you allowed to get animals where you are FM? like a cat or small dog?

5:31 am

FMitch

*sigh* late coffe break is over so I guess I had better get back to work.
Nice to chat and see you soon.

5:31 am

lynxxx

Have a good Friday - bye

5:31 am

FMitch

Unfortunately no lynxxx.

hello again everybody

5:55 am

Hello, ruby

5:55 am

rubyfoo

we have crazy weather -- snow mixed with rain but at least it's removing some of the old, soiled snow, unfortunately, while flooding the downstairs :(.

5:56 am

rubyfoo

Hi BR! Is FM still here?

5:56 am

o-o

Flooding is not good

5:56 am

o-o

FMitch?

5:56 am

rubyfoo

hello again lynxx

5:56 am

o-o

just got here.

5:56 am

rubyfoo

it's only a lot of [heavy] towels to mop0 up and then keep drying.....

5:57 am

rubyfoo

I'm at 109 but probably won't get many more; this is a hard but interesting grid

5:58 am

o-o

Heck, you are almost done

5:59 am

rubyfoo

but I never get close to finishing...but don't really mind. Too lazy, in the end, to try the lists, etc.

Hello, oodle

6:00 am

rubyfoo

phantom: threadbare!

6:00 am

o-o

which of course is your choice

6:00 am

rubyfoo

of course!

6:00 am

oodleberry

BR have you been sneaking the stash again?

6:01 am

o-o

yes, ruby that one is really close

6:01 am

rubyfoo

but even so, my ranking creeps up a couple of points a day!

6:01 am

rubyfoo

stash, did you say stash???? lol

6:02 am

oodleberry

who??

6:02 am

o-o

I have never tried the stuff, oodle, even while in Vietnam .... I am crazy enough the way it is

6:02 am

rubyfoo

that is a lovely quote in your profile, BR!!

6:03 am

o-o

Thanks, ruby

6:04 am

o-o

Does your basement get flooded often, ruby?

6:05 am

oodleberry

BR how do you see futz as a phantom ... usually there are all the letters but they don't line up... I don't even see a f or a z.... *is confuzzled*

6:05 am

o-o

but, oodle, my phantoms are REAL phantoms

6:06 am

rubyfoo

it's not exactly a basement, because we're on a hillside, but it's where the guestroom and bath, the laundry room, my husband's workshop and my studio are. The water seeps through the blacktop in the parking area, down the stair and into the workshop, but rarely goes further. So far, except for undermining the paint over the years, no damage....crosed fingers, biting lip!

6:07 am

rubyfoo

the good news is that since the studio is at the bottom, it opens out into the garden and a view of the lake!

6:07 am

o-o

Sounds like you have a lovely place to live, ruby

6:08 am

rubyfoo

It's beautiful here; I'm very lucky!

6:25 am

Scrabbler

I saw Hop Sing cooking at the Fuji Grill last night. 9 ladies went there for dinner---wild, loud, overstimulating place, but great food.

6:25 am

rubyfoo

isn't that dangerous?

6:25 am

oodleberry

6:25 am

phandmd

6:26 am

Scrabbler

Yep, 14th.

6:26 am

o-o

what is valentines?

6:26 am

phandmd

I sounds like we don't keep a good eye on her but really we do. The cookies were in a container. she opened it up! The cake, must have been on my husbands watch. He doesn't watch as well as I do.

6:26 am

phandmd

She seems to be fine. I am still watching her though

6:26 am

o-o

Heard about a massacre

6:26 am

rubyfoo

phandmd

Ruby, what's your pup's name?

6:29 am

Scrabbler

Geez, and I am thinking about getting a dog someday.

6:29 am

rubyfoo

would have stolen a whole chicken, I'm sure, given the opportunity. The current dogs are very polite, won't even eat each other's food

6:29 am

phandmd

They are worse than children! but just like children, they are worth it

6:29 am

Hi Button

8:29 am

bichon

Mubner, you have a Bichon Llasa mix. Interesting. Does it have the Bichon or the Llasa temperament?

8:29 am

Buttonman

I cannot find the me 6! Can anyone help me with a clue please?

8:29 am

Flask1

no...sorry it was the 7 I asked for!

8:29 am

Hi hego!

8:29 am

Mubner

mostly Bichon, she was just adorable

8:30 am

Flask1

Does anyone have the 7?

8:30 am

Mubner

I said "was" - a young gal came along and wanted her, they seemed to like each other alot and now Leah has a new home.

8:30 am

bichon

My Bichon is so good natured. He lets toddler grandchildren do pretty much what they want with him. Her latest is to swathe him with her blankie and kiss him

8:32 am

Mubner

Leah was pretty timid, did the old squat and pee whenever anyone new came over :)

8:32 am

bichon

That doesn't sound like a Llhasa or Bichon.

8:33 am

hego

that he is now driving me crazy, Flask.

8:33 am

Flask1

am stumped completely!

8:34 am

Mubner

Shunned by pugs. Oh, cruel fate.

8:35 am

Buttonman

I thought that too jmc...and I def don't go for the filthy stuff and violent things but I have heard some that were ok and clever even...after I got my head in the right frame it was ok...but def. not my first choice I agree. It's like "street artists" and break dancing and in other countries like making jewelry out of odd things they find free. Have some neat jewelry from street artists that use old car parts and metal. All interesting to me...it's just life...

jmc I think we are most likely we are the same on it...and yes I have a friend who introduce me to several christian rap songs...that was neat. I hate people who hide behind religion and pontificate their christianity....true christians would never do that...

10:05 am

jmcnrick

not to say the military does not have racism, but for many of these kids it is the first time they have ever had consistent contact with people of other races

10:07 am

MPittore

I esp dislike when people say "God will punish you"...what an unchristian thought that is

10:07 am

Ghastly people.

jordan is an ex-page 3 girl who has the worst taste in the world. alex is her new husband. a cage fighter.

11:18 am

Haz1558

The grammar in my last sentence is terrible.

11:19 am

Atalante

Jordan and Alex (and Peter, her ex-husband) are a somewhat less stylish version of them

11:19 am

Haz1558

Traditional placement of pictures of over-chest, etc.

11:21 am

oh time for my foil cap?

11:21 am

MPittore

true

11:22 am

Atalante

let me try and explain Jordan. She started as a glamour model / page 3 girl known from a chest that mysteriously increased every year. She was a big party girl. She went on "I'm a Celebrity get me out of here" and married a fellow contestant, Peter Andre. They had 2 kids. She already had a disabled, blind kid from a fling with a footballer. They then got divorced 7 months ago, and now she's married Alex Reid. Another class act. She's really probably the tackiest and less tasteful person in the world. She wore a pink loo roll holder as a wedding dress

11:22 am

rururocks

haz you would love my wife... she corrects my grammar constantly

11:22 am

11:22 am

a pink loo roll holder doesn''t sound like it would cover much - ahem - area

is she as bad as Amy Winehouse?

11:23 am

bojazz

sometimes coversation here is absolutely fascinating!!

11:24 am

Haz1558

That's pretty good. You haven't drawn attention to her other careers - modelling, writing (super-sarcastic font) and her equestrian ambitions.

11:24 am

bojazz

pink loo roll holder?

11:24 am

rururocks

why are large breasts considered assets? you can't resell them?

11:24 am

sometimes fascinating here is absolutely conversation!!

11:24 am

jmcnrick

the mind boggles!

11:24 am

Haz1558

She's worse than Amy Winehouse in some ways because her talent is making money out of manipulating the media. Amy Winehouse has talent, although she seems intent on abusing it.

11:24 am

2:19 pm

jillibus

I'd never heard of itwither and I used to live in NYC

2:20 pm

Pinikula

afternoon all ;)

2:20 pm

dcseain

rather a treat to be out in the snow while it's falling.

2:20 pm

jillibus

*it either

2:20 pm

dcseain

hi, pini

2:20 pm

jillibus

hi pini

2:20 pm

Pinikula

2:20 pm

2:20 pm

bichon

I am soo happy this one's missing us in CT

2:20 pm

Pinikula

hi oodle ;)

2:21 pm

Pinikula

hi bichon, jilli...

2:21 pm

dcseain

we're likely to exceed the Knickerbocker Storm of 1927 here.

2:21 pm

jillibus

please will you send some snow over to Cypress Mountain for the Olympic snowboarding?

2:21 pm

dcseain

we call it that because the Knickerbocker Theatre roof fell in during that one.

2:21 pm

Pinikula

I'd like some snow, too...haven't seen any this year!

2:22 pm

jillibus

oof! th4!

2:22 pm

Pinikula

We have a Knickerbocker Bridge here (for pedestrians)

2:22 pm

dcseain

that storm is also why flat roofs are illegal here. Must have at least a 5% slope.

2:22 pm

dcseain

neat, pini :)

2:23 pm

dcseain

no snow-making equipment up there, jilli?

2:23 pm

bichon

The old Civic Center roof fell in Hartford about 30 years ago. This was after a big snowstorm

2:23 pm

dcseain

hopefully it was empty at the time, bichon

2:24 pm

jillibus

I don't imagine my icon clue helped anyone here, but I could have posted ones for un4 & 5, and ta4 -- lovely animals ;)

2:24 pm

dcseain

neat, now i know what the ay4 is :)

2:25 pm

oodleberry

pini I finally changeded my icon

2:26 pm

jillibus

yes, dc, lots of snow-making equipment, but it's a bit too warm for it to work properly -- they are trucking in snow from distant mountains! It's an el niÃ±o year. The ski hills are just fine, though -- farther north.

2:26 pm

oodleberry

2:26 pm

Angelsong

2:32 pm

indeed, jbv. I used to work at a place in college town that sold beer and wine. NJ students had to get passports, as NJ DL had no picture back then.

soodle, I'll try again without any caps, but I only used one and I did copy and paste.

4:56 pm

Soodle

apparently college education is regarded as a luxury in this godforsaken country as well, Crossy. Jeeze!

soodle, can your kids go to schools in the rep of ireland?

4:57 pm

and my great good fortune was my Ph.D. scholarship - tuition free at Georgetown with the obligation to work at least three years in the area of preparation

4:57 pm

dcseain

both, jilli. the site i linked you to addresses chinese in particular, but if you read the screens, you can enable for all non-latin texts

4:57 pm

jillibus

still didn't work, soodle. I use firefox and a PC -- would that be why?

4:58 pm

Soodle

Clearly, Jilli, you are not an upside down person!

4:58 pm

jillibus

that's the site I went to, soodle

4:58 pm

dcseain

it's a Windows setting, jilli. May be firefox, but more likely language settings on the Operating System

4:58 pm

Soodle

Which, in some circumstances, could be regarded as a compliment!!!

4:59 pm

Trifioso

OT -- how many pretzels is a reasonable amount, would you say? I fear I may have consumed my own body weight's worth, at this point...

5:17 pm

dcseain

i say Miss to people still in HS or younger, but M'am to any female older than that, regardless marriage status.

5:18 pm

Trifioso

well, then, m'am I am!

5:18 pm

jillibus

I tried another site which had a bit of explanation, and it says it has something to do with Java. I recently d/l'd their latest version but got the same non-result from this site so something must be missing in my Java add-ons

5:18 pm

dcseain

do you like green eggs and ham?

5:19 pm

jillibus

dc, I love your Southern courtesy

5:19 pm

Trifioso

gapeach

May I please have a clue for ha7-40 the 2nd? Thanks

5:21 pm

Trifioso

actually, funny I should mention that....our town is going to have one of those community share garden thingies next summer, whereby people pay a fee, say $20 a week, and get a delivery of fresh, organic veggies once a week. I am trying to decide if I should buy in, and thus support the effort, or just grow my own stuff knowing I may not have the time and effort to make it successful....

5:21 pm

dcseain

ha7 - scots word, consonant, robot ending

5:22 pm

redturtlehead

Well, Trif...there is a risk of getting tomatillos endlessly for the summer, but...

5:22 pm

dcseain

CSAs are wonderful, you get a nice variety of fresh produce each week

5:22 pm

redturtlehead

I would do it if we have it here.

5:22 pm

Trifioso

indeed, red. and there is also the volume to consider - can we eat that much a week?

5:23 pm

dcseain

you'll learn to plan meals around what you get, and to share what you won't use with friends/neighbors

5:23 pm

Trifioso

I love the idea, and do want to see if I can afford to support it, in some measure. it may be better for me to visit their farmstand regularly

5:23 pm

redturtlehead

Usually people do pretty well with what they get.

5:23 pm

Trifioso

hmmmm. thank you for your input!

5:24 pm

gapeach

Thanks much, dcseaub

5:24 pm

dcseain

my pleasure, peach

5:24 pm

redturtlehead

Trif, If you plan to visit the stand I think once you and kids get busy with summer activity you will not have time regularly...

5:25 pm

Trifioso

true, red. but I do love my summer garden....it's so great to go out and see what has ripened on the day....however, years like last year, where NOTHING grew, are a right old pisser

5:26 pm

redturtlehead

I tried to grow an upside down tomato, turns out you need something to pollinate.

5:26 pm

dcseain

you can hand-polinate

5:27 pm

redturtlehead

i have only a screened porch, so that failed.

5:27 pm

redturtlehead

oh man, I should have asked last summer!!!

5:27 pm

Trifioso

i am not sure what the problem was this year. Our june was very very cold and rainy, and I think the growing season was just too short. no one had good tomatoes

5:28 pm

Trifioso

ALL problems can be solved in the chog, red!!!

5:28 pm

dcseain

that was likely the problem, trif

5:28 pm

redturtlehead

All except my Month long visitor arriving tomorro. I fear for my privacy.

5:28 pm

periwinkle

snow has started falling here :(

5:28 pm

dcseain

it's been snowing here for 8.5 hours already

5:29 pm

Trifioso

ummm - is that a euphemism for something, red, or is someone actually coming to visit?

5:29 pm

dcseain

i have company through it looks like Tuesday.

5:29 pm

mixi6

It's raining here.

5:29 pm

5:30 pm

5:30 pm

redturtlehead

Peri, is it fast and heavy?

5:30 pm

periwinkle

is this a friend or an acquaintance, red?

5:31 pm

periwinkle

5:31 pm

redturtlehead

A friendly aquantaince.

5:31 pm

periwinkle

how did this person end up coming to visit, erd?

5:31 pm

redturtlehead

I;ve been whining about it alot. It will hopefully turn out ok in the end.

5:31 pm

periwinkle

*red* even

5:32 pm

redturtlehead

I invited him....but not for the month.

5:32 pm

redturtlehead

He was coming to see the Space shuttle launch, go to a conference and see other friend in Tampa and Miami.

5:32 pm

Trifioso

is there somewhere else he could stay? remember: no one can repress you without your consent!

5:32 pm

redturtlehead

So I thought TOPs, he would spend a week or so at my house.

5:32 pm

redturtlehead

He's coming from South Africa, so its not like he knows a lot of people.

5:33 pm

redturtlehead

I want him to be comfortable.

5:33 pm

redturtlehead

and I wish he would rent a vehicle.

5:34 pm

redturtlehead

I think I am just a bit anxious that it will be overly awkward, or he won't enjoy himself...

5:34 pm

crosshair

MMMMMMMMMM!! big chunks of hallibut done in a beer batter with a mound of crispy chips and a dash of malt vinegar:))))

5:34 pm

redturtlehead

Ok moving on, How much snow now people?

5:34 pm

crosshair

cough..sorry tis tasty

5:35 pm

mixi6

does he have an international driving liscence? would be tough otherwise.

5:35 pm

Trifioso

repeat after chog -- "I am so looking forward to seeing you! I am able to accommodate you from xxx to yyy, and I will need my car for work, so if you need one, I can give you the numbers for several rental agencies, or we have the following public transportation available....."

5:35 pm

dcseain

i think we're up to 4 inches now

5:35 pm

dcseain

yummy, crossy!

5:35 pm

redturtlehead

Mixi, do you know how easy it is to get an International driving liscence? I paid ten bucks, showed my current liscence and that was it.

5:35 pm

crosshair

5:36 pm

dcseain

5:36 pm

crosshair

5:36 pm

redturtlehead

Well, I do think once I get used to it I may enjoy having someone around a lot, AND, he has a few places he definitely wants to go, so I will see a bit more of FLorida!

5:36 pm

godthaab

Thanks.

5:37 pm

mixi6

it's being a pain, since I can't find my birth certificate.

5:37 pm

Trifioso

let him pay for the gas, then!

5:37 pm

redturtlehead

Mixi, the passport is indeed a lot more difficult.

5:38 pm

redturtlehead

And he will be leaving March 6. When I put myself in his shoes, if I went to South Africa for a month, I probably would not want to just start driving about town with no one...

5:38 pm

mixi6

how do I a submit a certified copy of my marriage license online?

5:38 pm

redturtlehead

Mixi, are you going to travel soon????

5:38 pm

mixi6

May.

5:39 pm

redturtlehead

Mixi, I think in the end you have to mail it all in. I had to mail my Birth certificate, and some other stuff.

5:39 pm

redturtlehead

5:39 pm

We took Lucius to the vet to get his vaccines and he was an instant hit with the staff. After we were in the waiting room with him (on a harness) and this woman and her 3 kids, 2 were running about spotted Lucius and went KITTY. I told them very firmly they could play with him if they were quiet and gentle. I told the mum he is not used to kids. THEN one of the staff that was there when he first came into the shelter hugged him a lot and said he was like a teddy bear. When we left she was wiping tears of joy of her face at having seen a successful adoption

I gotta admit, a lot of our young labradors were similar, but Teulu is just a nut, even the vet says he is a bit abnormally active.

Red why can't he sit in Niels lap?

8:35 pm

redturtlehead

well, he is normalizing with age.

8:35 pm

redturtlehead

Heirn, Teulu weighs about 90 pounds.

8:35 pm

kje

the treatment depends on lots of factors... where it is located, how invasive, whether there are mets, etc... they use a gleason score to grade the tumor, and treatment is often dependant on that

10:17 pm

10:17 pm

10:17 pm

Pinikula

I've met Stid and Stidg...

See Pini, Oregon is close but not THAT close that we can all drive for a few hours and still get home.

10:17 pm

jmcnrick

maybe I would come

10:18 pm

Pinikula

Yeah...but there's beautiful country in between, Bugs!

10:18 pm

Pinikula

10:19 pm

We should make a plan for July or August. Make sure you get holidays then!

10:19 pm

Pinikula

do they have wi-fi in Kenya?

10:19 pm

Bugsaw

Kenya, how exciting!

10:19 pm

10:20 pm

I get emails from friends in Kenya but I think I will not be able to babble everyday

10:21 pm

jmcnrick

I try not to go to canada because I have been stopped for an hour and longer everytime I have gone there since 1976

10:21 pm

Pinikula

We'll drive to the border then, jmc!

10:21 pm

jmcnrick

the mounties doen't seem to like me

10:21 pm

Pinikula

I think it woulld be good if we all had some gas expenses PIni. I will apply for another passport now so it will arrive by August. LOL

10:22 pm

Pinikula

Well, I was thinking of doing the driving...with up to 4 passengers...always costs less in gas when you can split it !:)

10:22 pm

Bugsaw

I am not sure the mounties don't like you Pini. They are much worse on Canadians when we come home because maybe, just maybe we actually spent money in the US and that is not good for the government

10:22 pm

jmcnrick

well I can probably make it a business trip so that will help. Maybe I should go to Oregon and the pini and I drive to Washington State and we can all pool our travel costs

10:23 pm

jmcnrick

it was me not pini

10:23 pm

Pinikula

there ya go jmc...pick up stid/stidg on the way :)
