PAV3

yay Miss Jilli!

1:07 am

jillibus

and ty again for the un6, lyn :)

1:08 am

PAV3

I wonder why it won't take "wasup"...perhaps it's because there's no punctuation mark afterward?

1:08 am

gremlinn

because it's not a word

1:09 am

jillibus

lyn -- just watching TV -- the Aussie team touting their Vegemite, and keeping their boxing kangaroo flag up

1:09 am

PAV3

but of course it's a word...all these young folks use it when sending text messages!

1:09 am

flosey

just missing the o for nbt

1:09 am

jillibus

some bureaucratic idiot told them to take it down because it wasn't official

1:10 am

lynxxx

was just reading that in the local news Jilli, seems a harmless enough tradition to allow (the flag)

1:10 am

jillibus

clued at 12:56, flosey

1:11 am

jillibus

it's wassup, isn't it?

1:11 am

gremlinn

it's "what's up"

1:11 am

flosey

thanks jilli

1:12 am

PAV3

aha, you are correct, Miss Jilli! I should have known better...

1:12 am

lynxxx

100 down, BBL

1:12 am

flosey

got it, thanks jilli, NBT

1:12 am

jillibus

wtg flosey :)

1:12 am

jillibus

flosey -- I went to see Avatar tonight

1:13 am

gremlinn

it's the highest grossing movie of all time now

1:13 am

flosey

how was it Jilli?

1:14 am

flosey

we went to Artspring to see Shirley Valentine

1:14 am

herinfernallady

No its not Gremlin. Gone with the Wind is

1:14 am

gremlinn

no it's not

1:15 am

jillibus

fantastic, but I wish it had been in 3D

1:15 am

joshuavorbis

when calculated for inflation, gone with the wind is, and it's not even close

1:15 am

gremlinn

Avatar: a bit over $2 billion, Titanic in second place with about $1.84 billion.

1:15 am

herinfernallady

No

1:15 am

PAV3

Avatar is the highest domestic (US) grossing film

1:15 am

gremlinn

Nothing else ever hit $1.2 billion, even.

1:16 am

jillibus

If GWTW were adjusted for inflation, would they still be ahead of it?

1:16 am

gremlinn

These are worldwide, yeah.

1:16 am

gremlinn

Perhaps, but that benefitted from multiple runs.

1:16 am

joshuavorbis

that's what i'm saying, jilli

1:16 am

PAV3

qwtw in 3D ?

1:16 am

flosey

lol jilli, was just thinking the same

1:16 am

joshuavorbis

as far as butts in seats, GWTW wins

1:16 am

flosey

I would say so josh

1:17 am

jillibus

no, pav, Avatar in 3D -- it was only in 2D in our wee theatre

1:17 am

gremlinn

But you have to inflate the butt size - in modern size, people are fatter.

1:17 am

gremlinn

modern times, I mean - so butts count more

1:17 am

joshuavorbis

i take your valid point, gremlinn

1:18 am

herinfernallady

No its not Gremlin. Over all time Gone with the wind

1:18 am

jillibus

LOL grem

1:18 am

PAV3

I resemble that remark! grem...but I've lost 25+ since last year...

1:18 am

herinfernallady

http://tinyurl.com/6zcvf8

1:18 am

gremlinn

herin: I'm not adjusting for inflation. Just gross income, like I said.

1:19 am

herinfernallady

This is adjusted for now money

1:20 am

gremlinn

I wonder if GWTW is still #1 worldwide, inflation-adjusted

1:20 am

gremlinn

that's just domestic numbers

1:21 am

herinfernallady

Scan down for world

1:21 am

herinfernallady

World wide wow I will go eat my hat

1:22 am

jillibus

well, GWTW has been running for 70 years so let's see about avatar in 2079

1:22 am

flosey

that's a pretty safe bet for a lot of us jilli

1:22 am

joshuavorbis

the worldwide chart is not adjusted for inflation

1:22 am

gremlinn

hmm...it has worldwide gross, domestic gross, and domestic gross/inflation-adjusted. Unfortunately, we're missing the worldwide/inflation-adjusted, perhaps because of difficulty estimating that

1:22 am

PAV3

well, I'm drooping already...so eyelids and I will saunter off to bed...g'night y'all

1:23 am

gremlinn

hehe...I doubt there'll be a movie industry in 2079

1:23 am

jillibus

night pav -- sleep tight

1:24 am

joshuavorbis

also, part of what is making avatar all that money is a pretty unprecedented worldwide simultaneous opening in thousands and thousands of theatres

1:25 am

gremlinn

wow...I think the highest percentage of gross income from overseas on that list is for "2012"

1:25 am

gremlinn

and the IMAX ticket prices, partially - I paid $16 to see it

1:26 am

herinfernallady

I can't stand 3D it makes me ill

1:27 am

gremlinn

3D programming without glasses is on the way, I believe

1:27 am

gremlinn

but the newest 3D TVs still will require them

1:27 am

herinfernallady

that would be bad bad bad for me

1:28 am

Andree

hi everyone

1:29 am

jillibus

hi andree

1:29 am

1:30 am

herinfernallady

UN 8 please

1:30 am

gremlinn

un + ti6

1:30 am

Andree

being able to watch in 3d is requirment for granma's, all the kids movies lately have been 3d, i have a drawer full of 3d glasses

1:32 am

joshuavorbis

i don't like having to pay the surcharge for glasses every time, and not be able to bypass the surcharge and use the perfectly fine glasses i have from the last overpriced 3d movie

1:32 am

jillibus

I may try to see it again in 3D if I can stand another dose of smash bang crash

1:32 am

joshuavorbis

why even call it a surcharge, just say this movie is somehow more important than the others and thus costs more

1:32 am

herinfernallady

Thanks gremlin

1:32 am

herinfernallady

Can't see 3d it makes me ill. Too much flashing

1:33 am

herinfernallady

I meant picture flashing

1:33 am

Andree

the first couple i went to the glasses were free now they charge a $1

1:34 am

jillibus

Well, the 2D version here costs $8 for adults, $7 for students and seniors (me).

1:36 am

gremlinn

2D tickets: $8. 3D glasses: $1. A lifetime Pro account on Babble: priceless.

1:36 am

Andree

the cutest 3d i saw was "up"

1:36 am

Andree

well said gremlin

1:36 am

gremlinn

Haven't seen Up yet, but I'm familiar with the story (my last company published a cell phone game version, and I tested it ad nauseum).

1:36 am

jillibus

I haven't seen a 3D movie in years -- I remember a quickie at the NYC World's Fair in 1940, paper glasses.

1:37 am

herinfernallady

I Heart you Gremlin

1:37 am

jillibus

hear hear grem re priceless

1:38 am

Andree

my excuse is i take my grandchildren, i saw the shorts for alice in wonderland, looks amazing

1:39 am

gremlinn

does that count as a kids' movie? Because I kind of want to see that one too.

1:39 am

Andree

i will be seeing it

1:40 am

herinfernallady

Alice IN wonderland I dont think is kid orientated

1:41 am

Andree

i am going to see the princess frog tomorrow with one of my grandaughters

1:41 am

Andree

johnny depp is the mad hatter

1:41 am

VolleymomDee

VolleymomDee

1:42 am

jillibus

hi dee hi -- how annoying!

1:42 am

herinfernallady

Princess frog thing does sound cute. We did that as a play as a 2nd grader

1:43 am

jillibus

if tr5/12 is a word, why isn't diad?

1:43 am

Andree

hi dee

1:44 am

gremlinn

1:44 am

jillibus

1:44 am

flosey

1:44 am

gremlinn

hehe

1:45 am

VolleymomDee

fortunately hubby is a sweetie; didn't get ticked when I woke him from a dead sleep to crawl under my desk to reset everything

1:45 am

VolleymomDee

hi flosey

1:45 am

jillibus

ty grem -- you're excused from the PB in my book ;)

1:45 am

gremlinn

I didn't even notice that was on the grid

1:45 am

gremlinn

then I thought "uh-oh, better look...oh, darn"

1:45 am

jillibus

I thought you'd finished, grem!

1:46 am

gremlinn

I have, but it's been so long, I've forgotten what the words were

1:46 am

flosey

what a great hubby Dee

1:46 am

jillibus

aww, halo for Mr Dee!

1:46 am

VolleymomDee

I agree flosey; was certainly kind :~) hmm I think I'll keep him

1:48 am

herinfernallady

oh boy. I just did a real age test thing. How embarisng

1:49 am

jillibus

what's that about, herin?

1:50 am

herinfernallady

Its what your real age is.

1:51 am

gremlinn

and all it needs is your date of birth?

1:51 am

jillibus

so how old are you, herin?

1:51 am

herinfernallady

40

1:52 am

jillibus

why, herin? Is it a health thing?

1:53 am

herinfernallady

Yep

1:53 am

jillibus

how do you get younger?

1:54 am

herinfernallady

By getting healthier. I really think the whole thing is a bit bullcrap. Because if you take medicine for something like depression it ''ages'' you but if you have to take it to live big deal

1:55 am

jillibus

oh -- just saw I'm well over halfway

1:56 am

Andree

Haz1558

Good morning/evening all.

3:23 am

Andree

hi haz

3:23 am

FMitch

Good morning Haz

3:23 am

rubyfoo

gd morning everybody

3:23 am

rubyfoo

this looks like a nice grid

3:23 am

Haz1558

Hello! Is this grid any more friendly than the previous offering?

3:23 am

FMitch

Hello ruby

3:24 am

Haz1558

Good morning, ruby.

3:24 am

rubyfoo

hi haz, maybe. That one was a little overwhelming for me, never made half

3:24 am

FMitch

It is fun so far, passed the half way mark a while back but haven't hit the wall yet.

3:24 am

Andree

hi ruby

3:25 am

rubyfoo

hi andree

3:25 am

rubyfoo

hello FM

3:25 am

Haz1558

I don't know what it was yesterday - a combination of being in and out a lot and not being able to settle, plus a host of rather strange words. I was glad when the end came. (Sounds dramatic, doesn't it?)

3:26 am

FMitch

lol know what you mean, it took a while.

3:27 am

Andree

it does haz, i can't comment as i did not even have time to peek at that one

3:28 am

rubyfoo

dado

3:28 am

rubyfoo

whoops

3:28 am

rubyfoo

sorry, pb for me

3:29 am

FMitch

It is well stocked up ruby so make yourself at home :)

3:29 am

rubyfoo

could use another cup of coffee, not like I'm sufficiently jangly already......

3:30 am

FMitch

Haz - question for you or anyone else that is out there. Why would a church ring its bells for 2 hours (excluding bell practice)?

3:30 am

rubyfoo

they do it here when somebody important dies

3:31 am

Haz1558

No idea. You wouldn't have wanted to hear them during the war, that's for sure.

3:31 am

Haz1558

2 hours is a long time to listen, let alone ring. They must have muscles like Popeye.

3:32 am

FMitch

Ah I think ruby might have it as there was a funeral a while later.

Thank goodness for triple glazing but it is lovely to hear bells being rung none the less.

3:33 am

Haz1558

Goodness, if that's the case, the bell ringers of Midsomer would be busy...

3:33 am

FMitch

I was looking at the churches website yesterday and parts of it go back to the 12 centuary and the spire was constucted in the 15th centuary.

3:33 am

FMitch

LOL Haz

3:33 am

rubyfoo

the bells here are sort of flat and clangy, strange because there is an old bell factory in this valley, on the other side of the lake

3:34 am

Haz1558

They'd just toll the bells every day, someone would be bound to be dead.

3:34 am

FMitch

gah tyos-r-me strikes again.

3:34 am

FMitch

BRB

3:40 am

FMitch

... and back, had to turn the heating off, this house gets so warm upstairs.

3:42 am

Haz1558

That's a nice problem to have.

3:45 am

FMitch

I supose so but the office which is upstairs gets too warm and I end up having to open windows. Perhaps I should turna rad or two off up here.

3:46 am

Haz1558

How many radiators do you have in the office?

3:47 am

Atalante

helllllo!

3:47 am

Haz1558

Hello, Ata!

3:47 am

rubyfoo

hello to you, ata

3:48 am

FMitch

1 big one about 6' long but there is another out on the landing.

Morning Ata!!!!!

3:48 am

Haz1558

FM is counting the radiators in her office, there must be lots, it's taking her ages.

3:49 am

Atalante

gosh! multiple radiators. what extravagance!

3:49 am

FMitch

sorry for the delay, got fireworks!

3:49 am

Haz1558

Oh, well done on fireworks!

3:50 am

rubyfoo

congrats on fireworks

3:50 am

FMitch

Lets just say the heating system here is much more effective than at the old place.

3:50 am

Andree

yay fmitch

3:51 am

Atalante

yay fm!

3:51 am

Andree

hi ata

3:51 am

FMitch

Thank you thank you, it's quite a good grid apart from a few really strange words that use the x

3:51 am

rubyfoo

yay, hit half!

3:52 am

FMitch

wtg ruby!

3:52 am

rubyfoo

small milestones but still.....

3:52 am

Haz1558

I hadn't even noticed the x.

3:53 am

Atalante

I haven't even noticed the grid yet

3:53 am

rubyfoo

!!! shaking ata awake!

3:53 am

Haz1558

Come on, somebody who hadn't even realised their computer was on.

3:53 am

FMitch

The w words were the easiest but the a words I found the hardest.

3:54 am

FMitch

*passes Ata big mug of tea*

3:54 am

Andree

67 left here, i have a dvd to watch "gran Torino" so back later

3:54 am

Haz1558

Bye Andree.

3:54 am

Atalante

mmmmmm tea!

3:54 am

FMitch

TTFN Andree

3:54 am

rubyfoo

supposed to be a great film

3:56 am

Atalante

in theory, I'm meant to be having a nice quiet day, husband is away, he walked the dog before he left etc etc. So I get up, come downstairs and find that the dog obviously has a bad tummy and left a trail of diarrhoea around the front door. How lovely!

3:56 am

rubyfoo

I just found a great c word, amazing for me! Anybody need a c6/30?

3:57 am

Haz1558

Poor Hobbit. Poor Ata.

3:57 am

rubyfoo

husband didn't notice, stepped over it on his way out!

3:57 am

FMitch

Oh happy morning start Ata :(

3:58 am

Atalante

bet husband did notice and left it there!

3:58 am

FMitch

It reminded me of the dentist ruby :) but love the 5/18 more.

3:59 am

rubyfoo

lol, FM

3:59 am

rubyfoo

almost valentine's....

4:00 am

rubyfoo

speaking of husbands, I hear stomping upstairs, see you later!

4:00 am

FMitch

Bye ruby

4:01 am

Atalante

*and* I have a cat hair in my tea!!!

4:01 am

FMitch

That is not my fault!

4:01 am

Atalante

bound to be

4:02 am

FMitch

nope, no way, I don't have a cat!

4:02 am

Atalante

on the good side, we have daffodils out in the garden

4:02 am

Atalante

so? LOL

4:03 am

Haz1558

Back shortly.

4:04 am

FMitch

oh how lovely Ata, my bulbs are still only about 4" high.

4:05 am

Atalante

Kent is the best place to live in the spring, we get everything a week or so early

4:05 am

FMitch

Can't wait to see what they all are.

4:06 am

Atalante

exciting!

4:06 am

FMitch

I remember a couple of years ago back at Ascot the first daffys B and I saw were in the first week of Jan on the peanut roundabout at the edge of Windsor Great Park.

4:07 am

Atalante

wow!!

4:07 am

FMitch

I know it was so early.

4:08 am

FMitch

Urf, am going to have to go and get act together, promised Mum that I would drop by as I need to go to the garden centre near her. TTFN and speak later?

4:09 am

Atalante

hmmm what to do today .... carry on with MSc work or draw?

4:09 am

Atalante

she'll love that!

4:10 am

FMitch

Hugs and say bye to Haz from me.

4:10 am

Atalante

will do!!

4:17 am

rubyfoo

hi again, that is very early for daffs! Here it is snowing heavily again!

4:18 am

rubyfoo

do you have yellow primroses with your daffs, ata?

4:18 am

Atalante

lucky lucky you lol

4:18 am

Atalante

not yet, but we will do

4:18 am

Atalante

we do have snowdrops out

4:18 am

rubyfoo

better than rain, at least mud-wise

4:18 am

rubyfoo

dogwise, that is

4:20 am

Atalante

true true, but they get the snowballs stuck to their fur and still have to be showered!

4:20 am

rubyfoo

I just let them melt; at least it's clean water

4:22 am

Atalante

I always give up and shower hobbit, they seem to last forever on her

4:24 am

rubyfoo

Ruby will get her shower outside, if it ever gets warm again. She is too big and loses too much fur, to be showered in the house

4:24 am

rubyfoo

I'm sure Hobbit smells much better than Ruby

4:26 am

Atalante

I really shouldn't shower her in the house, but I do. And Hobbit is a very undoggy-smelling dog. Always has been, no idea why

4:27 am

rubyfoo

Ruby has an exceptionally dense coat, layers and layers of undercoat, and has a very strong smell. Max, on the other hand, with his long, shiny fur and no undercoat, doesn't smell at all.

4:28 am

rubyfoo

since I'm the only one who really pets her, I guess it's not a problem

4:28 am

Atalante

why do they have such different fur?

4:30 am

rubyfoo

I don't know as they get the same diet but they both scratch a lot and he, with his OCD, makes big holes in his fur. She has a shorter, scratchier coat, except for the pale fur. And his is wavy and long, soft and shiny.

4:30 am

Atalante

bella's is very thick and undercoaty too. she goes swimming and doesn't even get wet

4:31 am

rubyfoo

Cleo, our other black one (deceased :(( ), was very soft also.

4:31 am

rubyfoo

That's true, the rain doesn't penetrate Ruby's coat either, but she has never gone swimming

4:31 am

rubyfoo

she would probably sink

4:32 am

Atalante

loool poor ruby!

4:32 am

rubyfoo

but she is really beautiful and has a heart the size of al of France!

4:34 am

Atalante

awwwwww :D

4:35 am

rubyfoo

btw, I think my game is improving! Just hit 100 words, ever since you explained the layout of the tile stats

4:38 am

Atalante

woooot! It really does get easier as time goes by. well, a bit easier!

4:40 am

rubyfoo

see you later, always a pleasure to chat with you! The master wants his Campari lol

4:41 am

Atalante

loooool bye!!

5:04 am

5:10 am

Flask1

5:10 am

Haz1558

5:11 am

lawyer-1

sea, did u have any lightning yet?

5:11 am

SeaSpray

haven't seen any yet lawyer, did you?

5:11 am

Haz1558

I've just noticed that my county is in the grid.

5:11 am

kje

that is the fun of working at a hospital.... they have crews to come get you to make sure they are staffed, but they never take you home... cots for you

5:12 am

Atalante

so it is!

5:12 am

lynxxx

TY Haz - you make it seem so easy! Hello everyone

5:12 am

Flask1

Hi Haz....got the second one fine.......the first one isn't so easy tho@

5:12 am

kje

I do not understand that... pristine room??? what is that?

5:12 am

SeaSpray

I think it would be best if she stayed there kje

5:12 am

lawyer-1

yes, we had lightning and thunder up near Baltimore

5:12 am

Haz1558

Good evening, lynxxx.

5:13 am

Haz1558

un plus past tense of what you do to make a messy room nice and neat again.

5:13 am

kje

I was being facetious, haz... I just think that is a fantasy

5:13 am

Flask1

Got it!!!!....thanx Haz!

5:14 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, Flask.

5:14 am

SeaSpray

son just called and said the snow was 3 feet deep on his road when he got called into work

5:15 am

lawyer-1

and it seems as if the snow is coming down harder

5:15 am

SeaSpray

he also said they are sending a grader with a v blade to open our road

5:16 am

lynxxx

Don't let the dog out SeaSpray, she will be lost forever!

5:17 am

lawyer-1

fortunately, we live in a condo-townhouse and they started cleaning the roads, etc. last night

5:17 am

Flask1

and the other 7, please anyone?

5:17 am

Flask1

your county doesn't work Haz!!

5:18 am

Haz1558

I know, discrimination.

5:18 am

Flask1

cos' silly me tried it!

5:18 am

lynxxx

extend the tr5.12 for the 7

5:18 am

Flask1

lol

5:18 am

SeaSpray

lol lynxxx he doesn't want to go out, he backs away from the door

5:18 am

Haz1558

tr7/36 is the other one.

5:18 am

Atalante

I hate management speak. What on earth does this actually say?? "IEM aims at conciliating socioeconomic
development objectives with the preservation of environmental quality and ecological functions through the adoption of policy instruments and measures"

5:18 am

lynxxx

the tr5.12 that starts with 3 prefix

5:19 am

Haz1558

We'll follow the rules and hope for the best.

5:19 am

Flask1

ok thanx folks!

5:19 am

Haz1558

(That's my interpretation, anyway)

5:19 am

Brookie

hi... feeding baby... typing with one hand

5:19 am

lynxxx

nicely summed up Haz

5:19 am

lynxxx

hi Brookie

5:19 am

Atalante

yep! why can't people just say that though *another of my English peeves*

5:20 am

Haz1558

It's like some job advertisements you read, there is no clue as to what you're actually expected to do.

5:20 am

Atalante

the title of this paper is "The value of the worldâ€™s ecosystem services and natural capital"

5:22 am

Haz1558

I think some people imagine that you will ony be thought clever if you use the longest words possible and as many so-called buzz words and phrases within a given sentence which must be as long as possible and take up as much room as a normal paragraph in a normal person's writing.

5:22 am

Brookie

hi lynxxx

5:22 am

Haz1558

And yes, I did deliberately make that sentence as long as possible.

5:22 am

Atalante

*sigh* it's so silly. They don't realise that it just makes you look stupid.

5:23 am

Atalante

I was suitably impressed at your paradigm

5:24 am

Haz1558

Thank you! I've helped a friend write nursing degree essays and the amount of nonsense you have to put into them to gain marks is ridiculous.

5:25 am

Atalante

I have a new assignment to do that I think will be something like that. Comparing old management styles to integrated management styles for estuaries. I'll have to talk management talk, won't I?

5:25 am

Haz1558

Yes. Just make sure that you have underpinning knowledge. If your knowledge isn't underpinned, you're doomed.

5:26 am

kje

o?

5:26 am

Atalante

I have references

5:26 am

Haz1558

oi plus Spanish day.

5:27 am

kje

ty haz

5:27 am

Haz1558

But are the references underpinned?

5:27 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, kje.

5:27 am

Atalante

well that's a question!

5:27 am

lynxxx

underpinning is very popular around here - we are built on reclaimed swamp

5:28 am

Haz1558

I knew underpinning was important, they even have it in Australia!

5:29 am

Brookie

I just bit my tongue while eating breakfast. Does that mean my tongue was temporarily underpinned by my teeth? Is that more impressive?

5:29 am

Haz1558

It was over AND underpinned. Extra impressive.

5:30 am

lynxxx

I think that just another form of piercing

5:30 am

Brookie

Thank you. You're too kind.

5:31 am

lynxxx

Hows your dad Brookie - getting all his questions in order?

5:31 am

Atalante

when is your friend arriving, Brookie? Quite soon, isn't it?

5:32 am

Haz1558

Right, I'm going to have to leave this and come back later. Shopping awaits, so off I trudge.

5:32 am

lynxxx

again Haz! you love that shopping!

5:32 am

Haz1558

You can feel the waves of enthusiasm, can't you?

5:33 am

Brookie

Bye haz! And thanks for the questions lynxxx and ata. My friend is arriving this coming Friday, hooray! I'm sure my dad has prepared an Excel spreadsheet of questions.

5:33 am

Haz1558

Back later, bye for now!

5:33 am

Brookie

What type of shopping are you doing, haz

5:35 am

lynxxx

I'll rack my brains for something typical of Melbourne for him to bring to you Brookie

5:36 am

Brookie

Awww, oh, and I just asked him a second ago via chat what part of Melbourne he's in.

5:36 am

Brookie

Maybe he can bring nice weather. That's typical of Melbourne.

5:37 am

Brookie

And maybe he can bring universal health coverage, while he's at it.

5:37 am

hurshy

a plush toy kangarooooooo

5:37 am

lynxxx

TimTams - if you have a sweet tooth. I won't say vegemite - yuk

5:37 am

Brookie

What is vegemite?

5:37 am

Atalante

timtams! oh yes, get timtams!!

5:37 am

Brookie

And are TimTams chocolate?

5:38 am

lynxxx

That's a great idea Brookie - seems you guys need it.

5:38 am

redturtlehead

vegemite is some rather disgusting yeast based spread.

5:38 am

Atalante

timtams are the most gorgeous choccy biscuits

5:38 am

redturtlehead

good morning babblers.

5:38 am

lynxxx

Toy koala's are very cute for young kids

5:38 am

lynxxx

hi Hursh, Red

5:38 am

Atalante

5:39 am

Brookie

Good morning hurshy, red

5:39 am

lynxxx

Toy possums are pretty cute too

5:39 am

Brookie

lynxxx, he just said he lives in the eastern suburbs. Is that a nice area?

5:39 am

redturtlehead

Oh I want a toy Platypus....Perry the Platypus!

5:39 am

hurshy

toy koalas, kangarooooos, platypi, all very cute for old kids too (like meeeeee)

5:39 am

Brookie

Oakleigh south, specifically.

5:40 am

Atalante

love platypi

5:40 am

lynxxx

Yes! I grew up in the Eastern suburbs....accross from where he is actually

5:41 am

lynxxx

Nice area, quite established now

5:42 am

Brookie

Small world, huh?

5:42 am

lynxxx

6 degrees and so on

5:44 am

Brookie

Lynxxx, my friend wants to know where you live now in Melbourne. (I'm doing a simultaneous chat)

5:44 am

lynxxx

Elwood...but I grew up in Box Hill South

5:46 am

Brookie

bbl...

5:49 am

Soodle

Strange mix of words today. I just got the first 2 cu words - bizzarre!

5:50 am

lynxxx

hi Soodle

5:51 am

Soodle

Hi Lynn. Have you any spare men there in Melbourne for me?

5:52 am

redturtlehead

Ha ha. uys I had this idea to exchage some of the Liberia Money I accidentally took home with me years ago...

5:53 am

lynxxx

Better check that out with Brookie when she gets back Soodle, she seems to know how to find them.

5:53 am

Soodle

Right-oh. I will wait with bated breath. LOL

5:53 am

redturtlehead

I thought the exchange would be dismal, but... my goodness for 45 Liberian dollars, I would get 61 cents us. not wrth waiting at the forex!

5:54 am

Soodle

Lets see...What could you buy for 61cents, Red?

5:55 am

redturtlehead

I think, I might just try to give them to someone...they are awfully dirty and used...

5:57 am

lynxxx

Do the aiports over there have those collection points for unwanted foreign monies - go to charity

5:57 am

redturtlehead

lynxx, i have never seen it but what a great idea!

5:58 am

Atalante

and a lot of supermarkets / charity shops etc can have the same

5:58 am

redturtlehead

not here Ata, foreign currency is so rare...

5:58 am

lynxxx

It is...you should check it out and if they don't have them perhaps you could lobby for them

5:59 am

Atalante

huh. strange.

5:59 am

redturtlehead

We have collection jars and such but people do not normally walk about with Euros and such.

5:59 am

lynxxx

Americans don't travel much - sigh, it's true

6:00 am

redturtlehead

Lynxx, we do travel, but a lot of the travel is done within the US. Its huge!

6:00 am

lynxxx

sorry, meat to say travel overseas

Atalante

I'm sure you could just put it in a collection box for a national charity, they must get random foreign money donated. A big charity though, not a local one

6:01 am

lynxxx

meant!

6:01 am

redturtlehead

but it is true, I am amazed at how many have never been even to Canada!

6:02 am

Soodle

And Crossy was saying the other day that he had never been to the US, and he lives in Canada!

6:02 am

Atalante

what about army bases etc? they must get people with currencies floating around!

6:02 am

redturtlehead

I bet I can have my friend Niel take it back with him when he flys out. he is going through Amsterdam, and I do remember now that collection box.

6:02 am

lynxxx

He has arrived safely Red?

6:03 am

redturtlehead

I must say, Ata Foreign Currency here is something that is not so often dealt with. I was plannaing on taking it to the Forex today at the airport. I thought it would be worth about 5 dollars. but no...

6:03 am

redturtlehead

He come in at 10:30 from atlanta.

6:03 am

hurshy

but canada and the US aren't that different... are people supposed to travel one to the other just to say they've been? and travel to other continents is expensive - so it's not surprising that with the ever-widening gap between the haves and the have-nots, many people can't do it

6:04 am

Brookie

I'm back. Lynxxx, my friend says he'll bring me TimTams AND Vegemite.

6:04 am

Soodle

You can splash out the 61 cents on a party for him...

6:04 am

Atalante

it's just very strange to us lot over here who end up with different currencies just travelling an hour into europe :P

6:04 am

lynxxx

Warning: Do not get excited about Vegemite!

6:04 am

hurshy

you lot are very lucky!

6:05 am

Brookie

We were on Skype and he showed me a jar of Vegemite. It looks horrendous. But he swears it's tasty. The things I do in the name of love...

6:06 am

lynxxx

The South American countries are remaining popular for travel Hursh? I know the travel to there increased quite a bit a few years ago

6:06 am

Soodle

Brookie, does he have any brothers/friends?

6:06 am

redturtlehead

no hursh, but I have to say I found parts of Canada to be quite different form the US. not Hamilton, but nova Scotia was very different.

6:07 am

Brookie

Haven't been to Nova Scotia. How is it different, red?

6:07 am

Brookie

Hi soodle... he has a brother and he has a few close friends.

6:07 am

lynxxx

Tasty would be an understatement. It is foul unless you were fed it from a very early age

6:08 am

Soodle

Brookie - put my name on one of them for me, will you?

6:08 am

Brookie

That must be the case for him, then. It's kind of like gefilte fish... I grew up with it and love it, but most people get naseated just looking at it.

6:08 am

redturtlehead

Well, when I went firstly people spent a lot of time speaking to me in French abotu not drinking the water, but also the fishing culture, the accents of the English speakers (in Newfoundland) etc etc. It was very different from where I lived in Pennsylvania.

6:09 am

Brookie

Explain, soodle. Put your name on what? (Sorry, it's still early in the morning for me!)

6:09 am

Brookie

Red, what part of PA did you live in?

6:09 am

redturtlehead

Everywhere you go is different from the next. New York is different from Alabama, and from Iowa etc...always something to see and do...

6:09 am

Soodle

A MAN!!!!! (Not that I am desperate, or anything)

6:10 am

Brookie

Inexistence of desperation noted. :-)

6:10 am

redturtlehead

I grew up in the SOuth Central area. Deep in Mennonite and Amish country. I realized how deep when we had a 65th party for my Dad and his best friend in town came, a Mennonite man...

6:10 am

redturtlehead

Soodlebum, you may have my visitor.

6:10 am

Brookie

Red, I lived in Ephrata and New Holland. Anywhere near there?

6:11 am

redturtlehead

I know EPhrata, but I was much closer to the MD border.

6:11 am

lynxxx

Poor man, he's not even there yet and you are trying to pass him on Red

6:11 am

Soodle

I am suspicious, Red. If a man is being freely volunteered - there MUST be a snag.

6:11 am

Brookie

I might be able to rent out my man. You know, for extra money.

6:12 am

Brookie

Red, were you around Nottingham?

6:17 am

redturtlehead

I know I know.

6:17 am

redturtlehead

No, do you know SHippensburg University?

6:18 am

Brookie

Ah, yes, I do know Shippensburg.

6:18 am

redturtlehead

thats where I grew up, my Dad was a teacher there.

6:19 am

Brookie

Gotcha. I'm going to clean my apartment now. Have a wonderful day babbling, everyone!

6:19 am

lynxxx

6:30 am

Soodle

A pic of my house would be a great un8 clue

6:31 am

redturtlehead

looks smug, "My house is cleeeen" (for today.

6:31 am

Soodle

Have a look at my profile pic, Red

6:32 am

redturtlehead

true soodle, its the houseguest that caused the clean.

6:32 am

suefrad625

ty for the pu8

6:32 am

Soodle

Is this the one you are tryint to pr5/20 off on me? He cleans houses? I may just reconsider....

6:32 am

suefrad625

no I have to read the story from Mr. Hall

6:33 am

redturtlehead

indeed, but I cleaned for him.

6:33 am

redturtlehead

things will probably be fine, I just worried...

6:33 am

Soodle

ROFL - Just realised that reference to PR 5/20 was waaaay off. I meant to say Pawn off.... Oh Soodle, you've done it again...

6:34 am

redturtlehead

Actually Soodle, I needed the word, the shrimp one, so thanks!

6:36 am

JBV

good morning babblers - sitting here watching the snow fall, wondering how bad it's really going to be......

6:36 am

lynxxx

I'm off to bed - bye all!

6:36 am

Soodle

Bye Lynn. Sleep well

6:37 am

Soodle

Hiya JBV

6:37 am

JBV

bye lynxxx, we're just waking up here

6:37 am

JBV

hi soodle - I am mentally processing an experience with an unwanted "guest " - can I share a few moments with you?

6:38 am

Soodle

Please do, JBV

6:38 am

JBV

I have been doing battle with the most valiant mouse - worthy of an epic movie -

6:38 am

JBV

I have very mixed feelings this morning, as I guess I can say I have won, but with little glory.....

6:38 am

JBV

the rascally critter put up the most incredible fight - had us laughing most of the time

6:39 am

JBV

did you ever see Mouse Hunt?

6:39 am

JBV

well, we lived it for about a week

6:39 am

Soodle

Oh my - I can understand your mixed feelings. But.... these chaps rarely come as singletons, so are you 100% sure that he hasn't left a wife and extended family?

6:40 am

JBV

not sure yet, soodle, but the evidence was quite limited to a certain area, and of course we'll keep on checking

6:40 am

JBV

and I guess I will spend the weekend cleaning out closets, pantries, drawers, etc. -

6:40 am

suefrad625

wes just left on the school bus for a snow makeup day and it is now snowing

6:40 am

suefrad625

prob bring him home in a few minutes

6:41 am

JBV

6:41 am

suefrad625

concord NC

6:42 am

JBV

never heard of a snow make up day on Saturday - we usually just tack a day on at the end of June

6:42 am

Soodle

I bet the kids are unimpressed with Saturday school.

6:45 am

suefrad625

love it, they dont loose spring break time

6:46 am

NonoNanette

good morning babblers :)

6:46 am

JBV

hi Nono

6:46 am

Soodle

Hi Nono

6:46 am

suefrad625

hi nano

6:46 am

suefrad625

long time

6:47 am

NonoNanette

Sue do they not build snow days into the school calendar? they add 5 days here so snow days dont have to be made up unless they use more than that

6:47 am

suefrad625

lol, here school is out if it rains too much

6:48 am

suefrad625

we have a lot of low areas so I just think they go with the flow

6:48 am

NonoNanette

now days it seems they close school for the least little reason, maybe a bit too cold or a prediction of a big snow storm that never happens

6:51 am

rubyfoo

hello everybody, it's slushing here!

6:51 am

NonoNanette

hi Ruby

6:52 am

rubyfoo

rubyfoo

nono: I just looked at your profile. Are you near Binghamton?

6:52 am

rubyfoo

hi, soodle!

6:54 am

NonoNanette

about 75 miles west of Binghamton near Corning

6:55 am

rubyfoo

I lived in Binghamton for a loooong time, seemed longer because of the awful weather

6:56 am

NonoNanette

i hear that! Binghamton always seems to get hit with big storms

6:56 am

rubyfoo

and endless grey skies

6:57 am

NonoNanette

yep, we get the grey skies a lot during the winter but the snow storms seem to miss us a lot, like we are in a protected little pocket and the storms just skip over us

6:57 am

rubyfoo

I think the two rivers "trap" the storms in Bing

6:58 am

NonoNanette

this storm coming up the coast today is totally missing us. its just cloudy

6:58 am

rubyfoo

and black ice until April.....

6:58 am

NonoNanette

hate, hate, hate the black ice!

6:59 am

rubyfoo

I fell once a year, usually one sec's inattention, getting in or out of the car.....

6:59 am

rubyfoo

this place has a much m9ore temperate climate and a wonderful, long spring

6:59 am

Boomerâ€™s, which is located at 606D Main St. in Algood, across from Algood Walmart, will give a $15 gift certificate and a trophy to the person who can eat the most plain hotdogs.

7:09 am

Uneaixoise

LOLOLOL!!

7:10 am

7:10 am

NonoNanette

Uneaixoise

7:11 am

Uneaixoise

*and

7:11 am

Uneaixoise

but I DO love the name of the business!

7:11 am

NonoNanette

7:11 am

NonoNanette

7:12 am

Uneaixoise

Got it, TY Haz

good morning everyone;))

8:21 am

Scrabbler

Hi Crossy

8:21 am

Anniebrook

hi crossy!

8:21 am

Aloyisius

hi crossy!

8:22 am

hego

Crossy, I have a question.

8:22 am

crosshair

go ahead hego

8:22 am

hego

When you say bacon, do you mean the Canadian kind or regular?

8:23 am

crosshair

ok,to clarify...

8:23 am

o-o

Aloyisius, did the storm raise havoc in the groves too?

8:23 am

hego

yes

8:24 am

crosshair

when americans say canadian bacon they tend to mean what we call peameal or back bacon which is very mean and bought in a large chunk and sliced as needed..when canadians say canadian bacon we mean the stuff that is hickory smoked and sometimes with maple added and is sliced thin and long

8:25 am

crosshair

lean

8:25 am

hego

then you're talking the good stuff.

8:25 am

72 Temple Owl

imagining bacon shouting out insults

8:25 am

crosshair

most of the american stuff that is thin and sliced long we consider inedible

8:25 am

Aloyisius

The oranges were picked the day before the storm, BR... normally way too early for Valencias.. but they were falling off the trees, so the foreman decided to go ahead with the picking.. good thing or they all would have been on the ground after the storm. The trees were very weakened by the worst cold spell in 33 years.. tuff winter for citrus and other living things

8:25 am

sukee

Good morning... bacon is good however you slice it :)

8:26 am

crosshair

indeed sukee

8:26 am

Scrabbler

Hi Sukee

8:27 am

8:27 am

72 Temple Owl

canadian bacon here looks like ham. your bacon description doesn't sound much different than ours

8:27 am

Scrabbler

8:30 am

Aloyisius

yes, BR.. whatever.. we shall see..

8:30 am

kje

sa6?

8:31 am

to say something is inedible is a tad different than pronunciation differences

8:31 am

crosshair

we share your pain aloy..we lost 80% of our apple harvest in the fall

8:31 am

72 Temple Owl

hello kje

8:31 am

FMitch

We have streaky bacon and back bacon. Streaky is great to fry up nice and crispy as it is thin and has a lot of fat. Back bacon is good for a good English fry up - but watch the calories and the heart!

8:31 am

sukee

time for breakfast...bbl

8:31 am

kje

hi

8:31 am

crosshair

not just pronunciation,it is apples and oranges lol

I like bacon - but I eat it sparingly since it all essentially gets laid down in your arteries

8:45 am

crosshair

its like that new maple leaf commerical that is boasting about thier new resealable bacon package..i see no use for it as once a pack of bacon comes out here,there is rarely anything that goes back in the fridge afterwards lol

8:45 am

stidmama

9:57 am

Dorens

always careful of idiots stid, and my car really handles snow beautifully

9:57 am

stidmama

that would be fun doren... it would all depend on my courseload, but napa in August would be pretty

9:58 am

jmcnrick

9:58 am

Dorens

going with my family to a great big house in sonoma 8/21 - 8/28 instead of martha's vineyard this year

9:58 am

Dorens

(lucky me though, I've converted Ken, so we are going to martha's vineyard with his family in july)

9:58 am

jmcnrick

9:59 am

flosey

9:59 am

jmcnrick

I am freer to travel this year since Mother's death and I want to take advantage of it

9:59 am

jmcnrick

get a passport flosey!

10:00 am

jmcnrick

bugs suggested you and jill could ride down with her

10:00 am

stidmama

yes flosey, you must! then you can come see the museums in seattle and tacoma taht I talk about!

10:00 am

Dorens

get a passport flosey... come to Calif jmc (sand stid)... and now i am really getting into the shower... just quite vexed that i don't have half yet

10:00 am

jmcnrick

and I can help supplement the cost because it would be a business trip for me

10:00 am

Good Enough

dorens i checked out that house you are renting...WOW!!

10:00 am

Dorens

i know good enough... it is unbelievable!

10:00 am

jmcnrick

lol dorens i am giddy with delight i got 36 words

10:00 am

flosey

yes jmc and stid, would love to - haven't been in Seattle area since 1961!! was down to CA a few years ago when no passport needed

10:01 am

jmcnrick

where can i see the house?

10:01 am

Dorens

anyone else who wants to be shocked..look at sobrevista.com

10:02 am

jmcnrick

*Stunned*

10:02 am

flosey

must run now - going to a 90th b'day brunch today at 11:

10:02 am

jmcnrick

your family is renting the wholething?

10:03 am

Dorens

yup! i've spent that much on a four bedrooom house in martha's vineyard for a week in august

10:03 am

stidmama

*gasp* doren! wow... that's a hefty pricetag.

10:03 am

Dorens

this is my father's legacy to us... i use money from my inheritance every year for a family vacation... he would be thrilled

10:03 am

stidmama

enjoy brunch, flosey!

10:03 am

jmcnrick

goodness gracious dorens!

10:03 am

jmcnrick

oh how nice dorens that is truly a sweet and good idea

10:04 am

Good Enough

oh that is how my parents are...spend our money on family - fabulous!

10:04 am

stidmama

what a lovely way to remember him, doren. any time you want to rent our hovel (no joke) just let me know!

10:05 am

jmcnrick

I am just happy i have enough to travel again!

10:05 am

Dorens

it is hefty... my father left quite a bundle, and i basically am saving it for my kids.... but this splurge once a year is exactly what he would enjoy. and we always toast him as we enjoy it

10:05 am

jmcnrick

which reminds me i need to write a letter to the Meeting about my trip to Kenya

10:06 am

Dorens

oh the price is not what the website says.. it is $7,000 for an entire week... not cheap, but quite a bargain compared to what i spend in MV

10:07 am

stidmama

gee whiz, doren!

10:07 am

jmcnrick

whew! it was really a bundle when I thought it was $3k a day!!!

10:07 am

Dorens

yikes.. when i looked at the price on the website, that was another story. but when i contacted them, that is the price they quoted me, and i now have a contract stating that... No, not 3k a day!!

10:08 am

jmcnrick

well I guess I won't mug you when I meet you then ;-)

10:08 am

Dorens

hahaha

10:09 am

stidmama

rofl... won't mug you doren, but WILL let you pick up the tab for coffee when you offer! *grin*

10:09 am

Dorens

oh you got it stid!

10:43 am

MPittore

I am addicted to some of the thrift stores we have here...I have gotten some real bargins...a Coco Chanel bag for $3.46, Waterford crystal for $1.91...that's only the beginning...my husband wants me to sell the finds I get...I should...I got an antique vase that goes for $650. for $19.99 it is so fun!

10:44 am

crosshair

wife likes watching that show'till debt do us part" i laugh at her and these people cause the solution is easy....STOP BUYING CRAP!! hehe

10:44 am

alibabas

Im a big thrifter too! I don't think I have gotten as good deals as you have though. I have sold on ebay. It is good money if you can resell at a good price.

10:45 am

alibabas

is your house full yet cross or do you have to buy a bigger house to put it all in?

10:45 am

MPittore

Oh but I never buy crap it is all terrific stuff...I am very picky...

10:45 am

crosshair

we are 15 years in the same place so i need 3 yard sales this summer

10:47 am

crosshair

but mp the question is,are you relacing stuff that is broken? or ar you just buying cause it is ceap?

10:47 am

crosshair

cheap

10:47 am

alibabas

I have really cut down. Having a hobby like going to school has helped trim the shopping.

10:48 am

MPittore

O haven't sold on ebay but I sure have bought on there...have two packages on the way..pushes bottom lip out as snow will delay delivery scheduled for today...:o(

10:48 am

crosshair

wife wanted a new coffee mug set,so i asked what happened? did all the others spring a leak? lol

10:49 am

alibabas

does she shop at thrift stores? it might help keep down the cost but you still get the shopping experience. If she is a reader, then the library is even better. You get to shop for free!

10:49 am

crosshair

lol good advice alibabas

10:50 am

rururocks

this is disappointing.. I can't find anything and have to list already

10:50 am

alibabas

thanx. I try.

10:50 am

MPittore

...note to self...remember when my packages come to shove under bed for at least 3 days so can tell husband "oh these, I've had them"...I think he's on to me though, rats!

10:51 am

crosshair

though my better half is very good compared to some,i should not complain.she does not have 3000 dollars worth of make up or 65 pairs of shoes;0

10:51 am

alibabas

mp...the thrill of the hunt and all technologically done. I love ebay

10:52 am

alibabas

I am a bag addict. I love bags, utilitarian not necessarily purse. Like cool luggage or organizing bags

10:52 am

MPittore

I love ebay tooo....I will make an effort this year to sell at least one item on there...so many items, so hard to choose only one to part with :o(

10:53 am

alibabas

usually high end purses sell welll. I bought two coach bags from ebay recently.

10:53 am

MPittore

Ale...I'm just an old bag myself but I love so many things...old dolls, old jewelry, hmmm the old seems to be a theme here...

10:53 am

crosshair

lol i love to tease the wife with an example.before we were married i had the same single schaffer ball point pen for ten years..soon as we marry im having to buy 20 bic pens a week..its a mystery lol

10:54 am

10:56 am

10:56 am

MPittore

ruby, it's all in the age and diet of the animal and the aging of the meat .. these bison were allowed to graze in an oat field, so fat and tender .. lean meat, the t-bones were 70% tenderloin and 30% strip

12:56 pm

rubyfoo

did anyone see The Soloist? I've never gotten over the stats at the end of the movie . . . an article in our local paper today says we have 2300 homeless people in Nashville -- and there are 90,000 in Los Angeles (per The Soloist) -- it just boggles my mind

"pius" isn't a word?

3:03 pm

piu or pious are but not pius it seems

3:05 pm

lorettad

Must be thinking of the Popes.

3:17 pm

crosshair

had to do an emergency run to the vet with our 15 year old kitty just now:((

3:17 pm

lynxxx

is she OK?

3:18 pm

crosshair

she may have colon cancer.they will have to do a biopsy on monday.she has a 20% cance of it being operable otherwise we will have to put her down

3:19 pm

lynxxx

Oh dear, doesn't sound good. What did she do that alerted you?

3:20 pm

crosshair

was pooping bright burgandy bllod and meowing with each push and vomiting afterwards

3:20 pm

crosshair

blood

3:21 pm

lynxxx

Oh sh*t! I hope she doesn't suffer too much whichever way it goes

3:22 pm

crosshair

if the verdict comes back agressive cancer,they say it is best to put her down

3:23 pm

crosshair

if she falls into the other 20% a 1500 dollar operation canf ix her

3:23 pm

crosshair

fix

3:25 pm

lynxxx

I don't know much about cats but seems to me the recovery, if there was an operation, would be hard on the cat as well as you guys. $1,500 is a lot of money too for a cat who has only another x number of years to live. Not being nasty, we spent a hell of a lot of money on extending our last dog's life - when in hindsight we shouldn't have

3:26 pm

crosshair

that is what we will have to decide also

3:30 pm

crosshair

cost vs time left vs quality of life

3:30 pm

pk

agree with you lynxxx. we put our 16 yr old cat through a lot that we now wish we hadn't trying to extend his life. it's a tough situation all the way around.

3:32 pm

mo

crosshair .... it is so hard to make the decision (we had to do it a few years ago) my thoughts go with you and your family,and your kittie too, and fingers crossed, hope she comes through it.

3:33 pm

lynxxx

Hi Mo & pk

3:33 pm

crosshair

ty all,we will not extend her life soly for our feelings if she is going to do nothing but suffer for 6 monbths or a year.we will keep the cats best interests in mind definatly

3:34 pm

mo

crosshair ... I am sure you will make the right decision for her.

3:35 pm

mo

hi lyn.

3:35 pm

hi lynxx. how is your grey boy?

3:37 pm

lynxxx

He's lovely pk, really settled down last year. How is your baby?

3:37 pm

pk

almost 9 and turning into a grumpy old guy

3:37 pm

pk

we keep him on his toes with a rotating cast of fosters

3:38 pm

lynxxx

Really? in what way/s grumpy? Do you mean lots of exercise or play

3:39 pm

pk

just wants things a certain way, doesn't like to share with the others, gets cranky if his meal isn't delivered at the same time every day. he cracks me up!

3:40 pm

pk

the funniest is when it gets to be 10 pm, and he wants to go upstairs to bed. does not like it if we stay up past his bedtime!

3:41 pm

crosshair

the sooner your follow his rules,the better off you will be

3:41 pm

lynxxx

lol - does sound like my 'older' husband. Going a bit deaf too is he?

3:41 pm

4:44 pm

pugmama763

I've always seemed to be such a magnet for that type,the last one pretty much sealed the deal. Friends for companionship ,doggies for affection & power tools for (cough, cough ,cough) if need be.

4:45 pm

cooking for a household is not some wonderous thing that i bestow upon the house on occasion.i never thought of it.i just like to cook and often do;)

4:49 pm

oodleberry

my father never cooked either nor did any house work for that matter and when I was old enough to mow the lawn I am the one who did it but my mother ended up doing it cause I didn't do it all the time... I was the cook when my mother started to go to work after my dad died. I love cooking to this day... it isn't a chore either

4:50 pm

crosshair

sometimes the wife and i will get silly and work on a dish together,tossing this in and that in just to see what turns up lol

4:50 pm

i love cooking too but and offer of help now and then does't go astray

4:50 pm

4:52 pm

stidgmere

Hello all. Hubby knocking barnacles off oysters. I think there is a nice dinner in the offing. I'll do the cooking and use the fresh spinach and parmesan freshly grated. We kind of share on these things.

4:52 pm

Scrabbler

A few wks ago, at our rural WalMart, I saw a man, in his 60's I would guess, in a black suit with tie on, and wearing blue Crocs + NASCAR cap.

4:53 pm

Scrabbler

Hi stidgmere

4:53 pm

JBV

he was a doctor, scrabs :)

4:53 pm

4:53 pm

Scrabbler

Ata--is she totally in love with her bunny?

4:53 pm

JBV

it's a fashion thing in our local hospital (not the nascar cap, just the crocs)

4:53 pm

Atalante

utterly! and giggles muchly that her rabbit is cleverer than her flatmate's dog

4:54 pm

Scrabbler

Many surgeons + ER staff where Crocs. I have never fallen for that style...and I have resisted Farmville too!

4:54 pm

Andree

i hate crocs but i went canoeing last week and wished i had a pair

4:54 pm

stidgmere

If your feet are not comfortable the rest doesn't matter. Now as to tv and oysters. We'll put on a DVD and snuggle. That's pretty good. Hi Scrabs, saw your relatives today. Grandson played for solo contest.

4:54 pm

Scrabbler

Nice, Stidg.

4:55 pm

stidgmere

Are you ever going to come to the NW for a change of scene Scrabs?

4:55 pm

*sigh* wish i could oyster and dvd tonight. i have to attend one of "those" banquets where schmoozing is a prerequisite and watching my tongue is a constant

4:55 pm

Scrabbler

I am pondering getting a dog someday, when I am down to 1 rabbit, although I cannot bear the thought of losing my bunnies.

4:56 pm

Scrabbler

Perhaps, stidg, but I am afraid of flying

4:56 pm

sciencegeek

I have flying!

4:56 pm

stidgmere

Welki, are you involved in the Olympics at this time? They are about to start.

4:56 pm

Atalante

4:56 pm

oodleberry

ok I tried raw oyster and I could hardly get it down... sorry I like sushi but not oysters

4:56 pm

It is never the flying Scrabs, its the landings.

4:56 pm

sciencegeek

oop meant HATE flying

4:57 pm

Scrabbler

At the warming hut next to the cross-country ski trails people often bring in their dogs that are accompanying them on the trails. Today a sweet Golden Retriever named Molly became my friend. That is my dream dog.

4:57 pm

Andree

raw is the only way to eat oysters

4:57 pm

welki

i was indirectly enmeshed in the olympics until my co-worker's curling team didn't make it in .. now i'm resigned to be an occasional spectator

4:57 pm

Scrabbler

maybe I would take a train across the country

4:57 pm

stidgmere

We will cook the oysters. I have done the raw oyster thing but really anything that you have to be brave to eat or that is sooo hot it burns is not good eats.

4:57 pm

4:57 pm

sciencegeek

Atalante

UK ones are LOL

4:59 pm

Scrabbler

I have never had a dog but the idea is in my head that a dog would be a great addition to my life.

4:59 pm

pugmama763

not dumb at all! very frequently trained as service dogs!

4:59 pm

Scrabbler

I had a rabbit named Rusty!

4:59 pm

welki

no they're not, scrabb .. some folks said bassets were dumb, too, but i can tell you that more clever dogs are few and far between. i think it's completely individual

4:59 pm

Atalante

Oscar eats lightbulbs. QED :D

4:59 pm

Scrabbler

So what dogs are the smartest?

4:59 pm

Andree

its been a great addition to mine scrabbs

5:00 pm

Atalante

poodles, actually

5:00 pm

oodleberry

they are more affectionate than cats in general but it depends on the personality of the cat if he/she is affectionate or not

5:00 pm

Andree

border collies i think

5:00 pm

welki

the one who owns you

5:00 pm

Scrabbler

I don't like poodles

5:00 pm

Scrabbler

I like border collies!

5:00 pm

Atalante

border collies are second

5:00 pm

welki

my other dog, murray, is a border collie .. also good smart working dogs

5:01 pm

Scrabbler

Well, I am several years away from getting a dog so I have time to think about a specific breed vs rescue from SPCA

5:01 pm

stidgmere

I never like to have pet smarter than I am. So that leaves German shepherds out of my list. stidmama has one and she is smarter than he is.

5:01 pm

Andree

daughters ex has a border collie and we often look after him, he is the smartest animal i have ever come across and lovely with the kids

5:01 pm

welki

look, your dog watches while you prepare their food, clean up after them, pick up their poop, while you move over so they have room on the bed, watch while you unpack new and "improved" toys ... who's dumb?

5:02 pm

Scrabbler

Alright, my smart bunnies are requesting evening salads. They are all flinging their plates around.

5:02 pm

Scrabbler

BBS, folks

5:02 pm

welki

lol .. bunny frisbee!

5:02 pm

pugmama763

just looked at 3 sites & all list border collie as smartest with poodle 2nd

5:03 pm

Andree

so hugo is 1/2 smart!!! sounds about right

5:04 pm

Atalante

not sure what happens if you cross a poodle with a dalmatian - half clever, half loopy as hell

5:05 pm

welki

it's like what albert einstein said to marilyn monroe when she said....What do you say, professor, shouldn't we marry and have a little baby together: what a baby it would be - my looks and your intelligence!
Einstein: I'm afraid, dear lady, it might be the other way around...

5:06 pm

Jacula

You'd get a 'dalmoodle'?

5:06 pm

Jacula

Hi folks.

5:06 pm

stidgmere

5:08 pm

But a dalmoodle sounds as though it'd be a crazy dog.

5:09 pm

welki

well, i suppose i should go and figure out what i'm going to wear to this shindig. *blech*

5:09 pm

welki

6:28 pm

jmcnrick

he is a long time friend but not close from what I understand

6:28 pm

6:28 pm

MPittore

HB to U TO

6:28 pm

jmcnrick

he is staying for a whole month (which would make almost any unwelcome)

6:28 pm

jmcnrick

6:29 pm

jmcnrick

6:34 pm

jmcnrick

crossy i ordered the reader and the valentines special was not sold out in the U.S.

6:34 pm

Bugsaw

Is your icon how much snow you got last night jmc? I thot it would be more

6:34 pm

jmcnrick

AND I was able to do it through GoodShop so 2% of the price went to my Center

6:34 pm

jmcnrick

that is what it was at 9 a.m.

6:35 pm

jmcnrick

it was more!

6:35 pm

crosshair

good stuff jmc,!!! i was hoping you would get the speial!!

6:35 pm

MPittore

6:35 pm

jmcnrick

It snowed until dark

6:35 pm

crosshair

6:35 pm

jmcnrick

6:36 pm

crosshair

the light and the cover is a god deal

6:36 pm

Bugsaw

great expression there MPitt

6:36 pm

MPittore

We only have 25+ inches of snow...some places it's 28...

6:36 pm

MPittore

ty bugs

6:37 pm

Bugsaw

We are hosting the olympics next week and the flowers are coming up. We are calling it the Spring Olympics!

6:37 pm

robbie09

feeling a bit parched...getting some water bbl

6:37 pm

MPittore

LOL

6:37 pm

MPittore

drinking some earl grey here

6:37 pm

Jacula

I was saying, 'I can feel spring in the air' earlier and so it's fresh fruit salad time again'. As I said it, whilst buying the fruit to make it, I also said, 'I suppose that means it will snow again next week!' Sure enough, the weather forecast says it will in UK next week.

6:38 pm

juntas

why the hell is trix not accepted

6:38 pm

juntas

it really bothers me

6:38 pm

Bugsaw

poor Jac. perhaps you shud not have talked about snow out loud.

6:38 pm

crosshair

jmc, you will not be disapointed

6:38 pm

Bugsaw

trix are for kids?

6:39 pm

juntas

who'd u think they were for?

6:39 pm

Bugsaw

rabbits of course

6:39 pm

MPittore

well at least the weather permits more babble time not such a bad thing if you think of it in the right frame of mind...oh and you don't have to rake leaves or mow...see don't we all feel better now?

6:40 pm

juntas

silly rabbit trix are for kids

6:40 pm

crosshair

and up here the mosquito population is ery low lol

6:40 pm

Bugsaw

I lke the way that snow makes the world quiet down. A fresh snowfall muffles the harshness of sharp edges and absorbs harsh noises

6:40 pm

jmcnrick

i don't know about more time i took two hours clearing the sidewalks for more snow

6:40 pm

MPittore

see we can count our blessings when we just try...I feel soo much better!

6:41 pm

jmcnrick

in part because everyone is inside!

6:41 pm

MPittore

sends DH over to jmc's with snow blower...and ibuprofen!

6:41 pm

jmcnrick

:-) how sweet!

6:41 pm

crosshair

and we do not have an isue with african killer bes;)

6:41 pm

Bugsaw

I don't have a sidewalk jmc so I don't have to shovel on weekends

6:41 pm

Joanne123

omg hubby on war path of prostate

6:42 pm

MPittore

oh bugs that is so true and I like that thought...

6:42 pm

jmcnrick

6:42 pm

jmcnrick

joanne what do you mean?

6:42 pm

crosshair

up here we have never seen kudzu

6:42 pm

jmcnrick

the city ma** my sidewalk but I have to shovel it

6:42 pm

oodleberry

good morning everyone

6:42 pm

MPittore

hate kudzu....creeps around everthing with it's big ole self...and in just a matter of days!

6:42 pm

jmcnrick

hi oodle

6:43 pm

jmcnrick

I am thinking of skipping Meeting (church) tomorrow

6:43 pm

Joanne123

his dad has cancer..his uncle just passed and thinks he has it

6:44 pm

jmcnrick

oh dear!

6:44 pm

MPittore

We have that be cleared within 24 hr after snow stops...I told my DH to forgetaboutit let them fine us...cheaper than paying someone to shovel!

6:44 pm

crosshair

kudzu..that is the creeping vine that came from japan??

6:44 pm

Bugsaw

we don't have kudzu here either crossy, but I sold a house in winter once because it was being taken over by Morning Glory.

6:44 pm

jmcnrick

I thought it was treatable if caught early?

6:45 pm

jmcnrick

I hate morning glory -- except when it is blooming in the morning

6:45 pm

MPittore

ships kudzu cuttings to crossy...

6:45 pm

stidmama

Hello again all! *worried about cancer talk*

6:45 pm

Joanne123

he's just scared

6:45 pm

crosshair

ty mp,but no

6:45 pm

jmcnrick

hi stiddie

6:45 pm

Bugsaw

Joanne it is a good thing your husband is worried if he has not been diagnosed. It means he will pay attention and take care of himself!

6:45 pm

Bugsaw

Hello stid!

6:45 pm

jmcnrick

poor thing i don't blame him

6:45 pm

pippingeek

i like both kudzu and morning glory, but there is work

6:45 pm

stidmama

hey bugs

6:46 pm

pippingeek

kudzu is great cause you can eat so many parts of it

6:46 pm

stidmama

yes, maybe he will go see a doctor just to be sure?

6:46 pm

jmcnrick

i am going to go fix something to eat bbl

6:46 pm

MPittore

morning glory....never mind don't go there Pitt...*smiles*

6:46 pm

stidmama

hey pippin

6:46 pm

stidmama

brb

6:46 pm

pippingeek

hiya stid

6:48 pm

pippingeek

if i keep wearing my schmancy new rock climbing shoes, maybe the pain will make me forget about my headache

6:51 pm

MPittore

I guess the kudzu would be ok it only it wasn't so invasive...it has nearly sniffed out the other plantings along our beltway and some forests esp the edges where so many birds depend on that habitat

6:52 pm

MPittore

excuse typos...bum keyboard without letters makes me look like a dumb blonde...

6:53 pm

oodleberry

any combos with an4?

6:54 pm

oodleberry

an4,4 that is

6:54 pm

MPittore

stidmama

LOL Mpitt

6:55 pm

stidmama

oh pippin, I have a headache too (migraine) it sux eggs, rocks and everything. ((hugs)) want to share some of my choclit?

6:56 pm

Jacula

Stid - you have chocolate when you have a migraine?? Choc and cheese are the worst culprits for causing migraines.

6:56 pm

pippingeek

i'm not really into chocklit (i know, blasphemy) but i think mine is mostly caffeine related

6:57 pm

pippingeek

so more tea for me!

6:57 pm

stidmama

no, not for me. wheat is a trigger it turns out, but this is a direct result of some S.O.B. pissant puerile juvenile (@!#*$(@&) yesterday at the college. flashing lights and loud noises are primary triggers.

6:58 pm

jmcnrick

*in distant sings* look for the union label when you are buying or wearing your clothes

6:58 pm

stidmama

LOL jmc, yes, and I do -- but short of buying fabric made in the U.S. of fibers grown in the U.S. at some point neither union nor labor laws were involved.

6:59 pm

Bugsaw

stid talk to your doctor about migraines. I have some super-duper pills that take the pain away within 20 minutes. They cost $16 a pill so my doc gives me some of his free samples. Still have to sleep tho because they knock me out but without the pain, I am happy

7:00 pm

jmbdobie2

howdy - back again 101 left

7:00 pm

stidmama

I have medicine Bugs, but it only works when I have an aura first, and this trigger doesn't give me an aura -- straight to pain, photophobia, hyperacusis and motion sensitivity. but thanks.

7:00 pm

torgone

Sorry to interrupt, but an6/18?

7:15 pm

jmcnrick

i am not fond of prunes -- too sweet

7:16 pm

72 Temple Owl

the last one i got was quite nasty.

7:16 pm

Bugsaw

is there a pool started about what the email says? We could make a contest out of it so if TO decides to read it there would be some kind of fun factor to it.

7:16 pm

stidmama

it might be a texture thing. I don't like eating certain textures

7:16 pm

evanonut

prunes are yummy, especially the cherry essence ones

7:16 pm

aslindy

I like prunes... but not very many at a time!

7:16 pm

72 Temple Owl

orange flavored prunes are good

7:16 pm

evanonut

i bet it says.....Ooooooooh TO. You lookin sexaaaaaaaaaay.

7:16 pm

rururocks

flavored prunes?

7:16 pm

Jacula

Dorens - I like prunes, too. My fresh apricot with ginger and cinnamon oaty crumble is far quicker on the dash to the loo front.

7:16 pm

rururocks

lol

7:17 pm

jmcnrick

never heard of them coming in different flavors

7:17 pm

Dorens

that sounds yummy jac!

7:17 pm

stidmama

LOL nut! I think it says he knows he was a rotten person, and he is sorry for being a poopy head.

7:17 pm

72 Temple Owl

ty bugs i appreciate the attempt at humor but I don't have too much tonight. ex best friend also emailed and nosy - cut her off

7:17 pm

jmcnrick

my guess is their rep hinges on their laxative reputation

7:17 pm

Jacula

TO -if we're here with you, he can't hurt you.

7:17 pm

stidmama

oh gee TO, that's too bad. sorry I added to your pain. *sad mama look*

7:17 pm

Dorens

he is so sorry, and he realizes he made the hugest error of his existence!

7:17 pm

Bugsaw

I bet it says I am about to die. Do you still want to be my beneficiary? (still trying to make good news twice)

7:18 pm

evanonut

I bet it say, "darling, I've won millions in the lottery and I want to split it with you"

7:18 pm

rururocks

TO? Do you have a bit of a short fuse?

7:18 pm

72 Temple Owl

it's fb it's something about i hope the blizzard was not too bad. then it cuts off with "I"

7:18 pm

72 Temple Owl

LOL

7:18 pm

jmbdobie2

i can't believe 'edit' is not in tonight. and cu** is.

7:18 pm

evanonut

7:18 pm

72 Temple Owl

ru: at times. and for certain subjects.

7:19 pm

jmcnrick

well that doesn't sound like the beginning of a nasty email

7:19 pm

stidmama

"damit" doesn't work no matter how many times I try it.

7:19 pm

rururocks

hmmmm (makes a TO List)

7:19 pm

stidmama

7:19 pm

jmcnrick

7:19 pm

aslindy

jmb I've been keeping my eyes open for crwth, but haven't seen it it ages

7:19 pm

Jacula

ruru - short fuse or over sensitive = same thing. Some of us have reached the point where we can laugh (sort of) at past pains and others haven't. I know I can laugh some things off and not others.

7:19 pm

72 Temple Owl

7:21 pm

stidmama

7:21 pm

Jacula

hiraeth is my favourite Welsh word.

7:21 pm

7:22 pm

rururocks

7:22 pm

stidmama

that's an awfuil lot jmc

7:22 pm

aslindy

I wonder why I thought it was 'town' ?

7:22 pm

Jacula

stid - there's no direct translation as the word describes a feeling - a longing or yearning for home.

7:23 pm

stidmama

ah, thanks Jac.

7:23 pm

jmcnrick

yes it is a lot of snow and tonight will be in the teens

7:23 pm

72 Temple Owl

7:23 pm

jmcnrick

homesick

7:23 pm

Dorens

we had no snow... should i be jealous?

7:23 pm

aslindy

and it is pronounced 'krooth' - which I had also wondered about

7:23 pm

Jacula

It's the odd feeling in your chest that any addict feels when deprived of whatever floats their boat.

7:24 pm

72 Temple Owl

i heard, dad called to ask why i called off bday celebration since they had not a flake

7:24 pm

Jacula

aslindy - you will have to learn the Welsh alphabet to find out why that is.

7:24 pm

stidmama

no doren, you should be happy to have no snow. bask in the balminess of it!

7:25 pm

stidmama

72 Temple Owl

7:27 pm

stidmama

7:27 pm

jmcnrick

7:27 pm

stidmama

"I left my car in here somewhere" *images of elmer fudd digging in the snow*

7:27 pm

Jacula

stid - but it's not that simple, and you forgot 'll'.

7:27 pm

jmcnrick

it tends to get covered with salt from time to time

7:28 pm

jmcnrick

i have seen that happen before stiddie

7:28 pm

stidmama

true jac, I did forget, but that one feels consonantish to me. I love to say the words that have that letter!

7:28 pm

72 Temple Owl

well i made dinner, but i can't eat it. anyone want some chicken fingers? i made them from scratch.

7:28 pm

7:33 pm

stidmama

it would be SO COOL to live where you do, Jac. all the resources for history, and the ancient places of ancestors. NONE of my ancestors come from "around here" --

7:33 pm

Jacula

7:34 pm

stidmama

7:34 pm

Jacula

stid - I do appreciate where I live, even if my country is being ground down to sullen apathy/violence/uncaring mix at present. I'd like to see USA though. The world's small but also big - so much to see and so many interesting people to meet. Wish I had the money to do it.

7:34 pm

72 Temple Owl

what fun stiddy!!

7:35 pm

stidmama

I am NOT a happy camper, hunting season must be coming up because someone is practicing with a shotgun.

7:35 pm

Dorens

7:36 pm

72 Temple Owl

7:36 pm

Dorens

7:36 pm

Jacula

the stupid Eros post was a clue for cu5.18, btw.

7:36 pm

stidmama

I would be happier with student status and no homework...

7:36 pm

Dorens

and this is a rare saturday night when ken isn't here (in FL playing golf), so I could have done it without feeling guilty

7:36 pm

Jacula

cu6/30 can be found by throwing a snake into the middle.

7:37 pm

72 Temple Owl

at fair lawn community center though there is one coming up soon in Morristown I may attend

7:37 pm

stidmama

stidmama

down to TEN btw

7:50 pm

lbdawger

quarter of a circle, stid.

7:50 pm

Jacula

I've wondered abut book groups, Dorens. I think they must be more pressing than writers' groups, writing a blog or writing deadlines for publications.

7:51 pm

stidmama

oh my LBD, I know I am tired... but that is just SAD

7:51 pm

Jacula

I think I'd rather be a writer and keep my reading for leisure with no deadlines.

7:51 pm

stidmama

Rs removed

7:51 pm

lbdawger

go stid!

7:51 pm

MPittore

down to 28...giddy-up monkeys

7:51 pm

stidmama

SA 6 please?

7:52 pm

Dorens

i don't know about pressing jac... but I find mine (i'm in two) are a combination of reading books I might not have known about before, and socializing with a group of women which I kind of need (cause I'm a closet recluse)

7:52 pm

72 Temple Owl

hey mpitt how much snow did you get?

7:52 pm

stidmama

go MPitt go!

7:52 pm

lbdawger

sa6 is a persian musical instrument

7:52 pm

lbdawger

7:52 pm

MPittore

DH says 25+ up to 28 or 30 in some spots nearby

7:53 pm

Dorens

and one of the book groups is filled with really bright, challenging and fun women who I'm glad to meet with... the other one, not so much, but we do eat well

7:53 pm

stidmama

hm. music, eh? *thinking*

7:53 pm

72 Temple Owl

wow

7:53 pm

Jacula

Dorens, that's no bad thing, but I think you are feeling pressured to come up with a critique.

7:53 pm

lbdawger

stid, it resembles a dulcimer

7:53 pm

Jacula

sa6 is a Persian musical intrument like a dulcimer.

7:53 pm

72 Temple Owl

have any good books to recommend?

7:54 pm

Dorens

don't feel need for critique.. just sometimes need to hurry up and read the book in time

7:54 pm

stidmama

got it

7:54 pm

Dorens

Sea of Poppies by Amitav Gosht

7:54 pm

stidmama

7:54 pm

lbdawger

7:54 pm

72 Temple Owl

7:55 pm

Dorens

7:55 pm

stidmama

7:55 pm

stidmama

firewords on a fish.

7:55 pm

pippingeek

7:55 pm

lbdawger

whoooooo hooooooo STID!!!

7:56 pm

72 Temple Owl

wtg stid!

7:56 pm

Dorens

about the opium trade in 19th century... india, british empire, american slave ships... lots of stuff all rolled up in one terrific book. but olive kittredge is a no brainer. And also girl with the dragon tattoo? and people of the book?

7:56 pm

Dorens

yay stid!!!!

7:56 pm

stidmama

maybe not truly a fish though, I thought I entered it earlier, but maybe that was when the grid was so slow

7:56 pm

stidmama

7:56 pm

stidmama

72 Temple Owl

7:57 pm

7:57 pm

iluvnachos26

CAN i plz have a clue!!!! i will give u 1, something u listen 2 music 2

7:57 pm

stidmama

I am certain that when the migraine goes away I won't want to read what I have been typing today...

7:57 pm

Jacula

I've not only been a typing pool supervisor (which meant proof reading everything about 20 typist typed every day + proof reading my own output) but I was also a frequently published writer at the same time, which meant I had proofs to read, as well as proof-reading copy for 3 magazines.

7:57 pm

Dorens

sea of poppies is a bit more of a challenge... depends on what you're looking for

7:57 pm

stidmama

be more specific iluv so I know what you are not looking for!

7:58 pm

Dorens

well jac, a professional reader is what I used to aspire to be!

7:58 pm

72 Temple Owl

ty doren just looking to be gainfully occupied.

7:58 pm

stidmama

you can read and summarize my textbooks for me TO! *cheerful mama look* kill two birds with one stone and all that?

7:58 pm

Dorens

understood owl.... please let me know (if you do read any of them) what you think of them

7:59 pm

iluvnachos26

un8,55 plz

7:59 pm

Jacula

Dorens - but 'hurry up and read a book' is not good. If the book has gripped you, you won't be able to put it down. If it hasn't, you'll either read it in your own way and in your own time, or else you'll give up on it.

7:59 pm

stidmama

the $60 book I bought yesterday is only about 500 pages.

7:59 pm

stidmama

un 8 is un + ti 6 "made neater"

7:59 pm

Dorens

that is true jac. sometimes, though, i just delay it forever cause i'm a frightful procrastinator...even if i'm enjoying it

8:00 pm

Jacula

I was also a critic for 4 magazines.

8:00 pm

Dorens

according to my family, i am a natural critic!

8:00 pm

iluvnachos26

i dont kbow

8:01 pm

Jacula

dorens - you would not procrastinate if something really grabbed you.

8:02 pm

stidmama

the ti 6/24 is "made neater" sounds like the ebb and flow of water in the oceans.

8:02 pm

speedfreak

right now I am combining my two favorite activities reading and Nascar with the book The Art of Racing in the Rain and main character is a dog which means this book could not get any better for me

8:02 pm

Dorens

oh jac, if you only knew! sometimes something has completely grabbed me, but I deny myself the pleasure until i have gotten various things done, because I know once i start i won't put it down, so i don't get to it until i'm nearly ready to fall asleep... and keep trying to stay awake cause i am enthralled, but keep falling asleep cause i'm 60 and sleep deprived

8:02 pm

Jacula

Maybe it grabbed you in the first 3 chapters and then got a bit boring, so you turned the pages to see where it went and found a predictable ending? That's been the death of many a mss for me as a reader, a proof reader and a critic.

8:03 pm

Dorens

nope... i don't allow myself to cheat in a book.. if i'm all that bored, i just won't finish... rarely happens though

8:03 pm

stidmama

hey speedfreak!

8:04 pm

Jacula

I rarely cheat at reading, too. But some books just make you go down that road.

8:04 pm

Dorens

clue for up6 please? i give up

8:05 pm

Jacula

I'm usually reaing 2 books + a cookery book at a time + torn out stories from magazines.

8:05 pm

speedfreak

evening all stid love the pic of dog looks like it could be twin of my shepherd

8:05 pm

stidmama

up 6 is up + "fast move" (d4)

8:05 pm

stidmama

my puppy boy is asleep here beside me right now.

8:06 pm

72 Temple Owl

i ahve given in and obtained the list

8:06 pm

Jacula

up6.24 = up + what the hairdresser does when she makes your hair shorter.

8:06 pm

stidmama

go TO go!

8:06 pm

Dorens

hooha! never would gotten that one. ty amigas

8:06 pm

speedfreak

mine are both curled at my feet hoping I will put the computer down so they can fight over my lap

8:06 pm

Jacula

up6.27 = up + the arrow thrown in the hope of getting a bullseye. (Pub game.)

8:07 pm

stidmama

LOL speedfreak! yep. sounds about right!

8:08 pm

Dorens

i noticed last time my cat jumped up that my lap is not quite what it used to be... sob, sob

8:08 pm

speedfreak

what do you mean dorens

8:09 pm

stidmama

well, my headache is getting worse again. I think I will lie down for a while and pretend the world doesn't exist. *sigh* the person who pulled the fire alarm is lucky I'll never know who it is, because my non-litigious self is poised for a lawsuit, based on severe, disabling pain as a result of their action.

8:09 pm

Jacula

Dorens - my lap's not so spacious as it once was either.

8:09 pm

72 Temple Owl

doren how is your foot?

8:09 pm

rendered bacon fat turns my stomach. it stinks to high hell

9:10 pm

Jacula

It's fried stuff that makes me feel sick, even fried eggs, which I like. Can't stand the after smell and need the door open do disperse it even in winter.

9:10 pm

torgone

I loved the "All Creatures" episode where a farm family offers the vet some "bacon" but it turns to be all fat ..

I love fresh killed and cooked fish, wether trout, rainbow or brown, salmon or cod etc/ You don't get the fishy smell when they're freshly caught. knocked on the head and cooked.

9:18 pm

MPittore

my dad caught a mackeral and showed us why we don't eat it...sprinkle salt on it and watch the wormsxs come out of the meat...you will never want to see that again!

9:18 pm

MPittore

..and wormsxs are much worse than worms!

9:19 pm

Jacula

Best breakfast I ever had was brown trout, freshy caught and killed with big field mushrooms freshly picked.

dcseain

28.5 at Philly Int'l Airport

10:16 pm

jillibus

TV said it was 24" in DC -- not as much as the Knickerbocker which was 28" (?)

10:16 pm

dcseain

yes, less than the Knickerbocker if that number stands :)

10:17 pm

dcseain

certainly the worst since 77 for my age group.

10:17 pm

nrkii

well damn, if you're going to get 2 feet of snow, seems hardly worth it if you can't at least break a record!

10:17 pm

72 Temple Owl

hello all

10:18 pm

dcseain

indeed, nrk :)

10:18 pm

dcseain

hi, TO

10:18 pm

gapeach

I agree, nrkii.

10:18 pm

dcseain

i gathe ryou both have power, how's the snow by you?

10:18 pm

jillibus

just what I was thinking, nrk -- why are we disappointed when a record like that is not broken?

10:18 pm

nrkii

meanwhile, I"m up in MA visiting my family, and they didn't even get a single flake

10:18 pm

dcseain

ah, glad you're safe nrk

10:19 pm

gapeach

But then, I am down here in Georgia. BUT I was up there with all of it.

10:19 pm

jillibus

hi TO

10:19 pm

dcseain

a hangar at Dulles Int'l collapsed this AM, but no injuries to people

10:19 pm

nrkii

jilli, because the difference between 24 and 29 inches of snow is not much interms of what it costs you, so you might as well get a record in the bargain to make it feel a little better (something you can brag about)

10:19 pm

dcseain

all flights cancelled at all 3 airports here today.

10:19 pm

jillibus

guess so, nrk!

10:20 pm

jillibus

II'm going to change my icon now -- next theme is Torchwood

10:21 pm

10:21 pm

dcseain

10:22 pm

dcseain

quite so, TO. our airports here reopen at 6 AM.

10:22 pm

10:22 pm

72 Temple Owl

10:22 pm

nrkii

yeah, neighbor says about a foot by me

10:22 pm

nrkii

don't know where I'll park when I get back tomorrow

10:22 pm

nrkii

could be interesting

10:23 pm

72 Temple Owl

no driveway?

10:23 pm

nrkii

no driveway... I have a spot off the alley behind my house, but that won't be clear

10:24 pm

nrkii

usually I park on the street, but those spots will be staked out

10:24 pm

72 Temple Owl

the old lawn chair trick

10:24 pm

nrkii

I may be parking at CVS a few blocks away :)

10:24 pm

nrkii

for a few days

10:24 pm

dcseain

that's illegal here, and we're free to keep any furniture we find

10:25 pm

72 Temple Owl

i went out for an hour, roads looked clear but could get icy

10:25 pm

nrkii

technically it's illegal by me too, but people do it

10:25 pm

nrkii

and with big storms, I do it itoo

10:25 pm

nrkii

I don't spend 3 hours shovelling out my car just to lose the spot to someone who didn't do the work

10:25 pm

72 Temple Owl

looking for more snow on tuesday /wednesday - another nor'easter!

10:26 pm

dcseain

everywhere i've lived, we worked together to clear it all.

10:26 pm

dcseain

as promised :/

10:26 pm

nrkii

well, there's some of that

10:27 pm

nrkii

but still, plenty of people from other streets would gladly take my spot

10:27 pm

72 Temple Owl

i could not beleive kids came and rang the bell to get shovelling work

10:27 pm

nrkii

especially since I'm a fanatic about clearing my car completely

10:27 pm

jillibus

TO -- AKC championships? AKC to me is the American Kennel Club...

10:27 pm

nrkii

lucky you TO... I would have paid them twice

10:27 pm

nrkii

10:27 pm

72 Temple Owl

10:28 pm

dcseain

10:28 pm

jillibus

sorry, TO, it was rbud who mentioned AKC

10:28 pm

72 Temple Owl

they wanted 20 i gave them 30. i don't think they thought it would take as long as it did. two of them were resting more than shovelling!

10:28 pm

dcseain

i don't have it, nrk

10:29 pm

rbud

yep, that's what it is, big dog show on two channels at once.

10:44 pm

kimmtoats

How come the icon next to your name in the chatterbox is different than the one in your profile?

10:44 pm

dcseain

becuase she uploaded a new picture but did not resave her profile, kimm

10:44 pm

rbud

it's a refresh lag, I think, kimm

10:45 pm

dcseain

if you refresh, it'll change

10:51 pm

dcseain

ADHD, clear cache and reload

10:51 pm

jillibus

ADHD! Haven't seen you in ages -- was wondering what had happened to you! Welcome back. Sorry I can't help you retrieve anything.

10:51 pm

ADHDWordLover

i've got 122 words left here, but used lickety's and had less than twenty left

10:51 pm

dcseain

i using IE, clear cache, close all browsers, open new.

10:51 pm

10:51 pm

dcseain

10:55 pm

dcseain

close lickety and all browsers

10:55 pm

dcseain

then restart expert

10:55 pm

dcseain

and you should be good to go, needing to resend to lickety

10:55 pm

ADHDWordLover

lickety has the right puzzle now, but all my words are gone. i cannot believe it

10:55 pm

ADHDWordLover

had about 15 words left

10:56 pm

jillibus

are words gone in both lists?

10:56 pm

rbud

but do you have words in Babble list?

10:57 pm

ADHDWordLover

i didn't restart, just cleared the cache. my words are still in babble, but not in lickety's

10:57 pm

rbud

copy/add to Lickety's?

10:58 pm

ADHDWordLover

it was wierd cuz i've been typing words into lickety's with today's puzzle, then it shut down and when i reopened lickety's yesterday's puzzle was there

10:58 pm

rbud

(don't have expert, not sure on the finer points)

10:58 pm

ADHDWordLover

i have 122 words to go in babble and only had 15 to go in lickety's boo hoo

10:58 pm

jillibus

if you're using Expert, Send Words to Clues, otherwise you could use the Bulk Add

10:59 pm

ADHDWordLover

don't think i could finish now. i really wanted to see fireworks

10:59 pm

rbud

oooh, not sounding good then, so sorry.

10:59 pm

ADHDWordLover

what's expert? expert lickety's? I haven't played in so long, i've no clue what u r talking about

11:00 pm

rbud

still seems like Lickety's should be somewhere out there holding your list

11:00 pm

ADHDWordLover

babble expert? or lickety's expert?

11:00 pm

ADHDWordLover

i agree rbud

11:00 pm

dcseain

Expert is Lickety's tool combining Babble and his List

11:01 pm

jillibus

BabbleExpert is a wonderful thing for PCs which puts everything on one page and had the Lickety Add box, where if you type one word it goes into both the Word List and Lickety's list automatically, and if you type more than one word it goes to the chat. It's free -- just email Lickety and he'll send it to you.

11:01 pm

rbud

oy, have 90 words and still no lone O

11:01 pm

ADHDWordLover

oh boy... i'll do that!! that sounds great

11:02 pm

11:03 pm

ADHDWordLover

can i send the words in babble over to lickety?

11:04 pm

dcseain

or vice-versa with Expert

11:04 pm

jillibus

yes, by using Bulk Add. Scroll down to the bottom of Lickety and it will tell you how to do that (copy and paste)

11:07 pm

ADHDWordLover

it worked... thanks jilli and all... i'm off to lickety's. see y'all at the witching hour
