2:23 am

jillibus

<---

2:23 am

rubyfoo

2:24 am

rubyfoo

2:24 am

jillibus

2:26 am

rubyfoo

2:26 am

rubyfoo

sorry again...

2:26 am

2:28 am

FMitch

2:28 am

rubyfoo

husband started arguing with me the minute I got up! very upsetting, even before my coffee

2:29 am

FMitch

not a good way to start the day

2:32 am

FMitch

jilli, saw a great cookery programme the other week you can do little mini scotch eggs using quails eggs or add seasoning into the sausage meat to make it curried - so many variations.

2:32 am

rubyfoo

French cookery programs are all based on cheese! yuk

2:33 am

jillibus

I'm an uncook, FM!

2:33 am

jillibus

I googled this recipe and did see lots of variations.

2:34 am

FMitch

love cheese but it doesn't love me anymore - get really strange dreams now when I have cheese so limit the intake :(

2:34 am

ChrissieDee

phantom nutrient

2:34 am

jillibus

hi chrissie

2:34 am

FMitch

Hi Chrissie

2:34 am

ChrissieDee

hi jilli and everyone

2:35 am

rubyfoo

hi chrissie

2:35 am

jillibus

FM, I also saw that you can buy ready-made mini scotch eggs in supermarkets over your way

2:36 am

FMitch

yes you can but the supermarket brands taste orible and the good independants are so expensive

2:36 am

FMitch

forgive me for dropping my h's :)

2:36 am

dalmatian5

What are eggs and soldiers? I heard that statement in a movie and did not know what the soldiers are.

2:37 am

jillibus

well, I've never made one or tasted one -- just remembered my friend's prizewinners at the fair every year

2:37 am

rubyfoo

I just read the eggs recipe and it sounds wonderful; unfortunately you can't get sausage meat here, just icky diots (too much garlic, no sage) or veal sausages in Switz

2:37 am

jillibus

soft-boiled eggs and toast cut in strips as dipper-inners

2:37 am

FMitch

oh just found a wonderful dessert wine (I think) in the grid

2:38 am

rubyfoo

not even uncooked Italian suasage like you can get in NY, even though we're close to Italy. Perhaps they're a NY-Italian invention

2:38 am

jillibus

(that's eggs and soldiers)

2:38 am

dalmatian5

oh how interesting - I thought it would be sausage links

2:38 am

ChrissieDee

I bought some new egg cups yesterday and want eggs and soldiers now

2:39 am

jillibus

It's bedtime for me and I'm getting hungry for all this stuff

2:39 am

FMitch

or soft boiled eggs and bread and butter cut into strips

2:40 am

jillibus

buttered toast soldiers are yummy

2:40 am

Haz1558

Good morning/evening all. How strange, you're talking about food!

2:40 am

jillibus

hello Haz

2:40 am

rubyfoo

good morning haz.

2:40 am

dalmatian5

sounds a bit like poached eggs on toast

2:41 am

jillibus

tastes rather like that too, dal

2:41 am

jillibus

but not as watery

2:41 am

ChrissieDee

I could go for that too, but wouldn't get to use new egg cups :)

2:41 am

Haz1558

Hello! We have another little skiff of snow here, and it's still coming down.

2:41 am

FMitch

oh another fav dalmatian - haven't had those for years.

2:41 am

ChrissieDee

woke to about 3 inches here haz

2:41 am

dalmatian5

I think I will stick with a good scrambled egg - thank you

2:41 am

FMitch

Greetings HAz, it is raining down hard here.

2:42 am

Haz1558

Suitable salutations, FM!

2:42 am

FMitch

mmm scrambled egg with bacon or smoked salmon

2:42 am

jillibus

there's something about the ritual of dipping in to the yolk, and then eventually scraping out the white with a spoon...

2:43 am

FMitch

and of course now I am feeling so hungry!

2:43 am

ChrissieDee

and a sausage or two, and maybe a few mushrooms

2:43 am

FMitch

and not an egg in the house.

2:44 am

jillibus

I had a great frittata the other day -- green onion, cut up grape tomatoes, grated zucchini, parsley -- delish

2:45 am

KatieMcG

morning everyone

2:45 am

ChrissieDee

mouth is watering here jilli

2:45 am

jillibus

I'm so glad they've decided eggs are not bad for us after all

2:45 am

dalmatian5

I like a yellow squash baked with eggs and cheese and all the fresh herbs.

2:45 am

FMitch

How about egg and bacon sarnies - hate the calories and all that but occasionally they are such a treat

2:45 am

jillibus

hi katie

2:46 am

jillibus

I'm going to bed before I dissolve into a puddle of drool!

2:46 am

FMitch

3:17 am

gremlinn

yay, fireworks unaided

3:17 am

ChrissieDee

I have the song "good vibrations" going round in my head with the si9 word replacing the title - help, it's driving me nuts!!

3:17 am

gremlinn

no lickety, morewords, or chat

3:17 am

ChrissieDee

wtg gremlinn

3:18 am

gremlinn

3:19 am

3:27 am

KatieMcG

congrats ursh

3:27 am

gremlinn

I'm usually aided, congrats

3:28 am

gremlinn

but I hesitate to come in when I didn't get back home until 2 hours after the flip (don't like spoilers)

3:29 am

KatieMcG

luckily don't always have clues flying round the chog

3:29 am

ursh

flip for me at 8am - so should have good fresh brain - does'nt seem to help

3:29 am

gremlinn

I guess it is mostly during the first hour

3:30 am

ursh

I dont find the stat calling helps me so dont watch for them

3:30 am

Haz1558

I've always said we need about three or four separate chat logs.

3:31 am

gremlinn

different chat rooms, you mean?

3:31 am

KatieMcG

I like to get to half way without clues, then will go to a list for the second half but don't use more words (I don't even know what it is) everyone likes to play in their own way

3:32 am

Haz1558

Yes, one would be completely silent for the go it alone types, one would be for the spoonfeeders, one would be for normal chat, one for medical discussions, another for food, it could go on....

3:32 am

gremlinn

ah, www.morewords.com lets you type in partial words and it will tell you words that complete it

3:32 am

Haz1558

PHone

3:33 am

ursh

i find the chat log fun and interesting most of the time - so many things affect us all even on opposite sides of the world - pretty much same sh** different country

3:33 am

KatieMcG

so true ursh

rubyfoo

si _french intimate you + end of vibr***** and plural

4:05 am

rubyfoo

si +

4:06 am

rubyfoo

no plural, sorry

4:06 am

gremlinn

4:07 am

forwardbyfaith

thanks - got it

4:07 am

rubyfoo

yes, gremlin, that's better

4:07 am

FMitch

Haz, jsut to make us all drool, whats on the menu today?

5:00 am

Haz1558

Sorry, was answering the phone!

5:01 am

5:01 am

FMitch

we were drooling a few hours ago about breakfast stuff butnow it is geeting on for lunchtime ......

5:01 am

5:03 am

Andree

5:03 am

FMitch

I love a shoulder of lamb over a leg, it cooks well and the fat keeps it so tender and moist.

5:03 am

You don't do a full tea!

5:03 am

Andree

and cheaper too fmitch

5:04 am

FMitch

yes that too Andree

5:05 am

lynxxx

I wonder if Haz would consider adopting an elderly daughter (with greyhound) - better cook than my husband

5:05 am

FMitch

Something I am going to cook soon when I can find a decent butcher (and haven't cooked for years) is pigs trotters. Sooooo good when done well.

5:05 am

Andree

love roast lamb , the best part is the left over cold lamb sandwiches

5:05 am

FMitch

5:05 am

Haz1558

Haz1558

And back from the phone again.. we're meeting up at the hotel in London where husband and I are staying.

5:24 am

lynxxx

are you making a weekend of it Haz?

5:24 am

Haz1558

The trip is courtesy of a drug company who reward vets for using their products. It's our turn to take advantage of their generosity. So, accommodation in a 5 star hotel, tickets to a West End Show, tickets for the 5 nations rugby at Twickenham (Ireland v England).

5:25 am

lynxxx

Wow!

5:25 am

sprite

sounds wonderful

5:25 am

lynxxx

what show?

5:25 am

Haz1558

But the real treat is meeting up with Ata and FM!

5:26 am

Haz1558

It's either Les Miserables, or Wicked, or Billy Elliot.

5:26 am

Haz1558

We were given the choice, haven't heard back yet which one we've been allocated - I'm hoping for The Glums.

5:26 am

herinfernallady

O Les Miserable. :( want'to see again

5:27 am

Haz1558

I'm looking forward to the whole weekend, as you can imagine!

5:27 am

Andree

5:27 am

lynxxx

Sounds perfect - what a great weekend

5:28 am

herinfernallady

I was interested in Wicked not in the cast. And I am a bit disapointed at the choice of lead for Mary Poppins

5:28 am

Flask1

Oh am so jealous.....sounds like a wonderful w/end......I hope you have a ball......and your meeting is everything you wish for!

5:28 am

herinfernallady

I am jealous Haz

5:28 am

Haz1558

I don't think we've any grounds for complaint, no matter what we're sent to. The last time we were treated by this company, we had a weekend in Vienna in February. I've never been so cold but it was wonderful.

5:29 am

Haz1558

The thing is, there is no way we would ever put together a weekend like that for ourselves, so it's nice to be treated.

5:29 am

Flask1

Go for it girl.....and enjoy!!

5:30 am

Haz1558

I will!

5:30 am

Haz1558

No babbling, mind you.

5:30 am

Andree

5:31 am

Flask1

Well, I know what I would rather be doing......lol

5:31 am

herinfernallady

Gee Haz that is terrible. No babble but being spoilt rotten what to do. :D

5:31 am

sprite

5:32 am

Haz1558

5:32 am

sprite

I bet you won't. Hoping for a report of your wonderful trip, Haz.

5:33 am

lynxxx

5:33 am

Haz1558

Husband was keen that I come along, so I'm going to the rugby, yes.

5:33 am

5:48 am

sprite

night lyn, sleep well

5:49 am

Flask1

any clues please for ANY of the in7/8 words please?

5:50 am

Haz1558

Flask, think in terms of people held in a particular type of captivity who don't move much.

5:50 am

sprite

one is tendency of mass to not budge from current direction and plural

5:51 am

sprite

one builds on living in, person living in

5:51 am

Andree

bye lynxxx

5:51 am

sprite

one is what several ropes do when knotted

5:52 am

sprite

that's all I have so far

5:53 am

Flask1

oh dear......thanx anyway!

5:53 am

Haz1558

Flask, for the ones about people living in, build in in5/10 - to bury.

5:54 am

Flask1

ok, thanx Haz!

5:54 am

Haz1558

For the ones about lack of movement, build in in5/10 - not moving, unresponsive.

5:54 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, hope that helps.

5:55 am

herinfernallady

darn It thank you everyone. I didn't plural a word that would ahve answered my question. Fish me please

Hi Une, not really here but hello none the less.

7:06 am

Uneaixoise

ditto :-)

7:08 am

Uneaixoise

switched to today's icon theme of eggs!

7:08 am

redturtlehead

i had eggs for breakfast!

7:10 am

Uneaixoise

morning, red :-)

7:11 am

redturtlehead

Hi all.

7:12 am

Uneaixoise

red, I know you enjoy Mother Nature . . . FYI one of my mom's caregivers saw a 7-point buck in my mom's backyard this week -- standing by the birdfeeder, just a few feet from the house! :-)

7:12 am

redturtlehead

Wowweeee. nice.

7:12 am

Uneaixoise

i know!! too bad Derby barked and he ran away . . .

7:13 am

redturtlehead

I never see deer here. Used to in NC a lot, but not here.

7:14 am

Uneaixoise

I see more now than ever -- often see groups of deer grazing next to the interstate

7:14 am

Uneaixoise

as well as in rural areas . . .

7:14 am

redturtlehead

I like to see them, but I worry about the populations getting over grown.

7:15 am

Uneaixoise

don't think that's a problem here -- LOTS of deer hunters :-(

7:15 am

Uneaixoise

but I understand that it's important to keep the population below a certain level . . .

7:15 am

redturtlehead

whoa 25 P words....

7:16 am

Uneaixoise

you can do it, red -- have 20 so far without list

7:16 am

redturtlehead

So far I have 60 words, but I started right after I said Hi. Sprite says it was easy, so I am hoping to make fast progress....

7:16 am

Uneaixoise

have 16 words starting with Richard Nixon's wife's name!

7:17 am

redturtlehead

amazing. I have not seen oodle in a while. I would have thought he would be making some expert commentary on Canada!

hello everyone

7:21 am

morning annie!

7:21 am

Uneaixoise

morning, Annie :-)

7:22 am

Anniebrook

Hi red and Une

7:22 am

redturtlehead

ahhh the hawaiiain goose is here.

7:22 am

Anniebrook

and the volcano

7:23 am

Uneaixoise

ooh, tx, annie -- saw the goose but not the volcano!

7:23 am

redturtlehead

TY annie, I neede the volcano!

7:24 am

redturtlehead

Annie, how is your friend who i in rehab doing?

7:25 am

Uneaixoise

185 down, 52 to go -- off to the kitchen for coffee -- BBL :-)

7:25 am

redturtlehead

good job Une!

7:25 am

Anniebrook

red, she is still there..the orthopedist said it is a small break but a break nonetheless..

7:26 am

Anniebrook

wtg, Une

7:26 am

Anniebrook

she is acclimating herself to the place..I would go insane there

7:26 am

redturtlehead

How is she doing? Improvement, is she up walking?

7:28 am

Anniebrook

NO! That is what I do not understand. She lays in bed most of the day. Gets therapy on her GOOD leg once a day. Nothing is being done for the broken knee so far. They said it has to heal before they can start therapy. Just lays there.

7:28 am

redturtlehead

Well, I think withthe knee it does have to heal before she puts weight on it. that would drive me crazy as well.

7:30 am

Anniebrook

She is afraid to be home alone so I guess the best place for her, right now, is where she is. She would need help at home.

7:31 am

redturtlehead

Well, as long as her spirits are staying up...

7:32 am

Anniebrook

her spirits are improving..she was very down at the beginning. so things are looking up.

7:33 am

redturtlehead

that is some good news.

7:34 am

Anniebrook

speaking of deer, when I was in the Keys I saw key deer. They are a much smaller version of the deer that I am used to seeing and they just walk about freely in people's back yards. It was just beautiful to see.

7:34 am

redturtlehead

So pretty.

both skill and strategy are involved in the game. It is one of the reasons both Kevin and Cheryl are such great skips -- they are always thinking 2 or 3 moves ahead.

3:50 pm

periwinkle

re6/21 pls

3:50 pm

cybernan

The object of the game is to wind up with the most rocks closest to the centre button after everyone has thrown their rocks.

3:51 pm

cybernan

re: adjust the strings on your guitar or violin again

3:52 pm

cybernan

*object is for your team of 4 to wind up with the most rocks

Kaplan the Magne

Is there a lickety?

3:53 pm

cybernan

yes

3:53 pm

periwinkle

does it matter where in the circle the rocks are? I know not great English ;)

3:53 pm

periwinkle

yes Kap

3:54 pm

cybernan

the team with the rock or rocks closest to the centre at the end of each round (called an end) get's a point for each rock that is the closest. An opposing rock cuts out everything else.

3:55 pm

periwinkle

ty, nan, it is a little clearer now

3:55 pm

Scrabbler

At 125/112 I have had enough of this grid. Bye all.

3:55 pm

periwinkle

bye Scrabs

3:55 pm

Jellen

Bye, Scrabbler

3:55 pm

cybernan

The strategy of the game is to position your own rocks where the opposition can't get to them and to remove or rearrange the opposition rocks to some place in the rings where they will be useful to you.

3:56 pm

cybernan

bye scrabbs

3:56 pm

periwinkle

what is the purpose of sweeping the ice, to make a better path to the center?

3:57 pm

cybernan

sweeping keeps the ice clean so your rock won't pick up any debris, also to keep a rock from curling too much or to take a rock that is too light further into the rings (called the house)

3:59 pm

cybernan

When the curler releases the rock he/she puts an inside or outside turn on it, which determines whether the rock will rotate clockwise or anticlockwise and also determines which way the rock will curl on it's path down the ice.

3:59 pm

periwinkle

ty nan for the inform. re curling

3:59 pm

cybernan

Guess you can't tell I really enjoy the game, right?

4:00 pm

periwinkle

:-)

4:00 pm

cybernan

off to watch the game :)

4:00 pm

doseffing

Technically, it melts the surface of the ice so that the rock slides better ... the faster the rock goes the less it curls ... so you're trying to adjust both the distance and the direction ..

4:00 pm

Oooh I came in at a good time. I am sooo curious how people outside of Canada and GB get interested in Curling...

4:03 pm

doseffing

By spinning the rock you can make it swing by as much as six feet if you're really good i.e. Olympic or Briar (Canadian Men's Championship, calibre ... Thus ... curling

4:04 pm

periwinkle

red, nan and dose have explained how a curling game works

4:12 pm

Jellen

Hi, LeslieAnn!

4:12 pm

ADHDWordLover

4:12 pm

redturtlehead

I think Jellen, you are way below the TMI mark!

4:12 pm

Jellen

4:13 pm

Jellen

Red is...

4:13 pm

ADHDWordLover

nurse here

4:13 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Nurses have the grossest lunchtime talk

4:13 pm

redturtlehead

Hi Kaplan, we are chatting a lot so that gets moved off the board.

4:13 pm

ADHDWordLover

we do NOT!

4:14 pm

ADHDWordLover

I come from a long line of nurses; loved medicine since I was a kid; read my aunt's med journals.. my dad forbid the medical talk at the table

4:14 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Oh, yeah- I have had lunch with nurses and have to tell them to stop talking about sputum

4:14 pm

redturtlehead

chatting chatting chatting. I never have time for lunch, so cant say nurses have lunch time conversations...

4:14 pm

Kaplan the Magne

and all sorts of other things.

4:15 pm

Kaplan the Magne

When I did hospital work many moons ago.

4:15 pm

ADHDWordLover

what kind of sputum? color? consistency? odor? not all sputum talk is gross.

4:15 pm

Jellen

na5= Mr. Hawthorne, pluralled

4:15 pm

ADHDWordLover

jk jk

4:15 pm

LeslieAnn

i don't even know what that is but it sounds gross already

4:15 pm

Kaplan the Magne

"So what color was Mr. Willis's sputum today?"

4:15 pm

redturtlehead

4:17 pm

ADHDWordLover

4:17 pm

redturtlehead

Oh I am so glad for the Canadian commentary earlier, the NBC guys who are commentating on the curling just said, "Well I think if the rock touches the green line its considered in" I mean....

4:17 pm

LeslieAnn

haha

4:17 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Again, it's that marvellous mealtime chatter

4:17 pm

LeslieAnn

"and if it's in the middle, that's a touchdown"

4:18 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I spelled marvellous with 2 l's as homage to Salinger

of course!

we) had that last month... record highs for almost a week (60), then down to the teens

4:55 pm

ADHDWordLover

tx KJE. I knew it was a fish word. welll slap me silly!

4:55 pm

redturtlehead

I sold y house this year, and I dont think I made a profit. How hard is it going to be to do the taxes on that mess this year?

4:56 pm

TeaNCrackers

easy peasy

4:56 pm

TeaNCrackers

if you had a loss, there is really nothing to report

4:57 pm

TeaNCrackers

if you had a gain, you report, but you get to exclude it, as long as you have not excluded a house sale gain in the recent past andyou lived in and owned the house for three of the last five years

4:57 pm

redturtlehead

SO I probably will be ok to just use turbo tax. the whole thing was so confusing. I got some escrow back but that was not a profit.

4:57 pm

TeaNCrackers

you should be okay

4:57 pm

redturtlehead

WOw tea, you know those rules! I am very impressed!

4:58 pm

TeaNCrackers

been doing taxes for almost 10 years now!

4:58 pm

TeaNCrackers

thank you!

4:59 pm

redturtlehead

I am afraid of an audit. But I think that I dont really make enough or raise any flags...usually.

4:59 pm

redturtlehead

are you busy yet? withthe tax doing that is.

4:59 pm

TeaNCrackers

a house sale is not going to trigger an audit. especially if you report it

5:00 pm

TeaNCrackers

what causes issues is that you don't report the sale when the bank does.

5:00 pm

TeaNCrackers

we have two distinct busy seasons. one is the last week of jan and the first of Feb because W2s are out and then the other is the last week of March through April 15.

5:00 pm

redturtlehead

I do not mind paying the taxes, I just dont want to talk about it later....

5:01 pm

yep

5:01 pm

5:48 pm

Joanne123

nrk what did you think of the movie the Stand??

5:49 pm

nrkii

Joanne, I thought it was pretty good... that was really the only way to do it justice -- make it a mini-series type thing

5:49 pm

nrkii

I thought it was well-cast too

5:49 pm

nrkii

Gary Sinise as Stu was great.

5:50 pm

Joanne123

it was good but book was so much more graphic, like you just picture it all happening

5:50 pm

herinfernallady

I liked The Cell

5:50 pm

Joanne123

i read it like 4 times

5:50 pm

nrkii

yes, I'm sure there was a lot they couldn't really do in the movie because it was made for TV

5:50 pm

72 Temple Owl

he is a vastly underrated actor

5:50 pm

nrkii

I think I've read the stand 3 or 4 times myself

5:51 pm

nrkii

I haven't read The Cell yet

5:51 pm

herinfernallady

It is really good. I liked it as he doesn't wafle on about crap

5:52 pm

dixmak

I hate the ending of the Cell!

5:52 pm

72 Temple Owl

nrk i found a lovely confection on my shopping trip monday. white choco dipped gingerbread boys

5:52 pm

nrkii

And no matter how many times I read The Stand, it scares the crap out of me every time

5:52 pm

Joanne123

lol , i know

5:52 pm

nrkii

not a fan of white chocolate Owl... :)

5:52 pm

nrkii

though gingerbread and white chocolate does sound like a good combo

5:53 pm

nrkii

dixmak, I heard the ending really made people mad

5:53 pm

72 Temple Owl

this just adds a bit of sweet to the spicy

5:53 pm

nrkii

makes me curious, yet very uneasy, about reading it

5:53 pm

dixmak

i never got it, does he save his son or not? I personally need a concrete ending

5:53 pm

72 Temple Owl

most likely some vanilla coating

5:53 pm

72 Temple Owl

what is the stand about?

5:53 pm

welki

don't telllll!

5:53 pm

Joanne123

ok, i won't finish this tonight sooo tc all and congrats to all

5:53 pm

The Stand is about a flu epidemic that wipes out 90% of the population

5:53 pm

dixmak

5:54 pm

Dix I really don't like reading King as he waffles on

5:55 pm

welki

hey herin .. have you had any additional convos with your prof or the dean of studies about your big-mouthed classmate(s)?

5:56 pm

herinfernallady

Nope Welki. I am home on the couch today :(

5:56 pm

nrkii

herin, my brother says the same thing about King, but I don't feel that way... to each his own :)

5:56 pm

dixmak

ya but to me it's more graphic and descriptive so you really get the picture, but he does ramble on and on about pointless nonsense

5:56 pm

72 Temple Owl

i don't care for the subject matter.

5:56 pm

nrkii

I think with my brother, it's because he expects action, and King builds tension for a long time, so his books get scarier and scarier

5:57 pm

nrkii

subject matter is different from book to book, though, TO

5:57 pm

nrkii

you mean scary?

5:57 pm

welki

<-- would take john irving over stephen king on most days

5:57 pm

dixmak

Exactly thats what I love about King; building tension!

5:57 pm

72 Temple Owl

yes. ooh watcvhing the news and research says one can be scared to death

5:58 pm

nrkii

I love John Irving too

5:58 pm

welki

different story-types, but boy can they both ramble on and on :)

5:58 pm

nrkii

a few years ago, I got to see King, Irving and JK Rowling do a reading at Radio City Music Hall

5:58 pm

herinfernallady

I do like his writing but seriously in my mind I don't need to read ''went to the store got milk '' as I went to the car got in turned key drive 5miles on hour turned left then right and then got to the store. Opened the door went in went to teh fridge got milk went to counter bought milk

5:58 pm

welki

best line ever from a john irving novel: sorrow floats.

5:58 pm

herinfernallady

I like Joe R Lansdale and Poppy Z bright

5:58 pm

72 Temple Owl

ciderhouse rules?

5:58 pm

nrkii

King read from "the Body" (which became Stand by Me in the movies)... Irving read from A Prayer for Owen Meany (my favorite)

5:58 pm

welki

may be the best line ever. ever!

5:59 pm

nrkii

"keep passing open windows"

5:59 pm

welki

wowwwwww nrkii!!

5:59 pm

nrkii

Sorrow floats and keep passing open windows are the two my mom always quotes

5:59 pm

nrkii

But, I did not like Irving's last book...

6:00 pm

welki

sorrow floats is from hotel new hampshire

6:00 pm

herinfernallady

I liked reading the Regulators

6:00 pm

nrkii

I was really disappointed

6:00 pm

72 Temple Owl

keep passing open windows is from owen meany, right?

6:00 pm

nrkii

6:01 pm

nrkii

6:04 pm

72 Temple Owl

6:31 pm

herinfernallady

arrr I just channel surfed looking for the news. I found this gawd awful chat show that one of the girls is saying that Rick Springfields song Jessie's girl is actually him wanting Jessie not the girl. FFS. That got the flick in under 30sec

6:31 pm

Watching Olympic coverage. hoping they dont show hockey all night.

6:33 pm

Jacula

red - yes, they were quite a sight, so I'm told.

6:34 pm

72 Temple Owl

cnbc has hockey, nbc has speed skating. coverage sucks even with three channels

6:34 pm

72 Temple Owl

msnbc has curling

6:34 pm

herinfernallady

No hockey here swap you?

6:34 pm

redturtlehead

speed skating is fine with me. Hockey was most of the day...

6:34 pm

I've just finished watching the film 'Rumor Has It' and then remembered I hadn't finished Babble.

6:35 pm

72 Temple Owl

this is the first act i have reviewed that gets an unqualified 10 out of 10

6:35 pm

redturtlehead

no hockey for the moment. Jus tspeed skating which I like, and I guess more curling.

6:36 pm

herinfernallady

we have Luge

6:36 pm

redturtlehead

I am sure nbc is going to try to avoid showing much luge.

6:37 pm

herinfernallady

Is that because the USA faild?

6:37 pm

redturtlehead

plus they need to show Bodie Miller in his glory.

6:37 pm

redturtlehead

no I think because of the accident...

6:37 pm

MrTall

hey douglas are you on right now?

6:37 pm

herinfernallady

Ok

6:37 pm

redturtlehead

NBC has been showing a good coverage of events where Americans finish like 34th....so I dont think thats it.

6:38 pm

herinfernallady

Ok I know that here they don't show stuff if the Aussies suck

6:39 pm

redturtlehead

I did wonder about that but, they seem to be covering a lot of the skiing where Americans do suck, the cross country stuff. Scrabbler should have raced.

6:42 pm

herinfernallady

'Well the coverage we have is sporadic

6:42 pm

redturtlehead

Wow I jsut went to the list, things are now moving again. I feel so lazy though.

6:43 pm

redturtlehead

ours too. I keep wondering what I am missing. and then I realize that I am not sure I could tolerate to see ALL the ice dancers doing the compulsory dance to the same song....

7:35 pm

jmbdobie2

7:39 pm

herinfernallady

My kitty is not a MCC but she has a habit of chasing strangers around the house to hiss at them

7:39 pm

lbdawger

7:39 pm

redturtlehead

I never really met any regular size biters...

7:39 pm

herinfernallady

This zoo is amazing. I want to feed the big kitties

7:40 pm

lbdawger

hi welki

8:23 pm

Jacula

Hi torg. Didn't see you there.

8:23 pm

welki

when you say, 'layered,' do you mean regular foil layered with heavy duty aluminum foil?

8:23 pm

jmcnrick

sigh my MIL fell and broke her hip so now I need to visit her like I was visiting my mother to make sure the NH staff take care of her

8:23 pm

torgone

Quietly multi-slacking ..

8:23 pm

herinfernallady

O JM that is not good

8:24 pm

jmcnrick

you probably can't tell but I have three foil caps on with the last one with feathers

8:24 pm

welki

ohhh jmc *big sigh*

8:24 pm

Jellen

multi-slacking is a perfect term!

8:24 pm

Jacula

jmc - oh dear! I hope your MIL will be okay. How old is she?

8:24 pm

welki

maybe you should take one off, jm...the lights are flickering

8:24 pm

jmcnrick

they gave her a new hip so she has physical therapy coming up

8:24 pm

Jacula

Jellen - I agree! It's a term I will use often from this moment on.

8:25 pm

lbdawger

oh dear, jmc. i hope all will go well for her.

8:25 pm

jmcnrick

oops sorry welki *takes first hat off* how's that?

8:25 pm

Jellen

So sorry jmc, that's rough for her and you!

8:26 pm

jmcnrick

I am sure she will be okay but it has been hard on her family who are spread around

8:26 pm

jmcnrick

multi-slacking sounds like my sunday evenings

8:27 pm

Jacula

jmc - try making holes in the remaining two foil hats for your ears to stick through. Also, make a slit at the front for bringing a fringe of hair through.

8:27 pm

jmcnrick

oh good suggestion on the fringe -- i cut it to look like sarah palin for halloween!

8:28 pm

Jacula

:-D

8:29 pm

jmcnrick

any one want to clue some un words?

8:29 pm

lbdawger

gawd, that should scare the heebee jeebees out of everyone, jmc!

8:29 pm

Jacula

You might then look funnier than I did with a supermarket carrier bag tied around my head by my daughter when she'd dyed my hair and was keeping it warm while it 'took'.

8:30 pm

lbdawger

un + two vowels

8:30 pm

Jellen

un + perform

I like the concept of multi-slacking.

8:37 pm

8:42 pm

herinfernallady

8:43 pm

Jacula

'offensive' costumes? Are they dressed for battle?

8:43 pm

jmcnrick

on the skating they russians wore "aboriginal" costume in Australia

8:43 pm

wht

You can watch the hockey. No offensive costumes there.

8:43 pm

herinfernallady

8:43 pm

jmcnrick

8:43 pm

jmcnrick

8:44 pm

jmcnrick

at least they got rid of the face paint and the "dark skin" suit

8:44 pm

herinfernallady

We only have hockey here

8:45 pm

Jacula

*sits on hands so she doesn't ask when dressing up as someone from another culture became offensive*

8:46 pm

Jacula

*sits on hands so she doesn't say that the PC nu7/32 see offence where none is taken and none intended*

8:47 pm

jmcnrick

the complaint was that it wasn't authentic but it was more a caricature

8:47 pm

Jacula

That's why Jac's the Queen of PC.

8:47 pm

jmcnrick

*makes jac a foil crown*

8:48 pm

SeaSpray

Canada scored

8:48 pm

jmcnrick

wtg canada! just don't beat the U.S.

8:49 pm

wht

That's what I get for switching to watch the dancing.

8:49 pm

Jacula

*sits on hands so she doesn't say the caricatures are not meant to be taken seriously but are done in fun. And that she's talked to enough people from other cultures to know that it's only the PC nu7/32 who 'decide' offence is or might be felt.*

8:49 pm

wht

US is still up 4-3 with 2:34 left.

8:51 pm

Looks like gold or silver, if I understood correctly

8:58 pm

oh okay still a couple of games to go then

8:59 pm

Guess I didn't understand :-)

At least I understand hockey. More than I can say about curling.

9:00 pm

Jacula

I don't watch, but I do get reports given to me.

9:01 pm

Jacula

I always used to play Left Back for the winning side in hockey at school. It meant I didn't have to run about too often.

9:02 pm

jmcnrick

it just said that canada will go forward

9:02 pm

wht

My usual position was Left Out.

9:03 pm

wht

Didn't matter what sport

9:03 pm

Jacula

I still have no idea how I ended up on the hockey team. That's field hockey, not ice hockey, btw. Doing the bully-off was best... you could 'accidentally' crack your opponent around the ankles before making off with the ball.

9:03 pm

Jacula

I don't like sport. *grins*

9:04 pm

jmcnrick

I did fairly well in sports.

9:04 pm

Jacula

wht - Oh dear, were you not picked? I often got picked, but I bet they wish they hadn't picked me afterwards.

9:05 pm

jmcnrick

I was sometimes picked last because i was not popular but they would eventually pick me because i was very good at pretty much every game.

9:05 pm

jmcnrick

you can play baseball with me wht

9:06 pm

wht

I was pretty much an athletic washout as a kid.

9:06 pm

wht

How about softball, jmc.

9:07 pm

jmcnrick

not a big fan of softball (such a different game) but sure

9:07 pm

jmcnrick

we could name it the Battling Quakers

9:08 pm

wht

Penn has the Fighting Quakers.

9:08 pm

torgone

There's an oxymoron for ya ..

9:09 pm

wht

I was on a softball team on a previous job.

9:10 pm

Jacula

I wonder how many lives have been screwed up by not being Popular at school?

9:11 pm

wht

I don't know. Even worse are the people who peaked in High School

9:11 pm

Jacula

I wasn't a geek, I wasn't a glamour girl, but I always got on okay because I always was confident that being me was okay.

9:11 pm

jmcnrick

well that is why we can't use the fighting quakers

9:12 pm

jmcnrick

i did fine in college it was before then i was in terrible shape

9:12 pm

jmcnrick

the struggling quakers?

9:12 pm

There are two 2/18. Referring to people who are not standing

9:19 pm

nice dance and nice that they are ahead

9:19 pm

Jacula

But,in some cases, especially in Africa, re tribal wars, some kind of peace was maintained in the past. Perhaps not always in the best kind of way, though. But, thinking ogf the machete masaacres in Rwanda, maybe we should have stayed 'in power'.

9:19 pm

Ther first is a funny past tense

9:20 pm

9:21 pm

Jacula

Link to it please, jmc?

9:22 pm

I'd also like to read the UK discussions on that. We, the Dutch and the French were there first.

9:27 pm

The new 'typical Aussie' accent as sported by Hollywood and teenagers from the Antipodes, uses those vowel sounds. Also, teenagers the world over use the Aussie thing of making a statement sound like a question by using an upturn at the end of a sentence.

9:27 pm

Minveryork

Don't see anyone else asking for clues, but I am here.

9:35 pm

Last night of freedom to drink, smoke and chat late for me. Early night later to be at hospital for 1pm treadmill heart tests, no tea, coffee, cigarettes etc., for 4 hours before the test. This is our young and eager new GP getting too eager after my Mum was diagnosed with angina a couple of weeks ago. Now he's going to send me, a fat, middle-aged smoker, drinker and mother of 2 kids on the same test. If I last the 6 mins my Mum did on the treadmill without having a coronary (I don't DO running!), I'll no doubt be back to tell you all that if I don't give up smoking and drinking, and lose weight, I'll be dead sooner than I might want to bre.

Only kidding. If they can't contend with the 'not the mamma' me and my past, well that's their problem. The fact that I want to 'go out' to Lyn Skyn's 'Freebird' should already have warned them.

9:41 pm

PAV3

sorry...wasn't watching what I was doing...

9:41 pm

Jacula

Pav's all at sea!

9:42 pm

herinfernallady

9:50 pm

Jacula

So, Herin, what is the kindest form to take?

9:50 pm

herinfernallady

none. I am just saying that hash resin is fairly errr not good

9:51 pm

Jacula

Coy all of a sudden?

9:52 pm

herinfernallady

No not at oil. I am just saying that the resin is more potent.

9:55 pm

herinfernallady

And I hadn't gone coy. I was trying to think back to the classes I took when I did Youth work

10:01 pm

10:01 pm

gremlinn

It was a fun one - lots of long words

10:02 pm

gremlinn

Granted, mostly because of the nice -ers ending

10:02 pm

pippingeek

def more than 2 hours worth of hunting...

10:02 pm

Jacula

10:03 pm

pippingeek

yeah, but i hate not finishing, and i think there's not enough time for me. there's always tomorrow

10:03 pm

Jacula

Youcan get lots of words straight off but may need more time to finish. Play the game!

10:04 pm

pippingeek

besides, it's 11 and i've been at work or working out since 7am, and i think maybe bed could be my friend

10:04 pm

gremlinn

it took about as much time as a mid-100s grid usually does

10:04 pm

PAV3

how's your "other" friend - the texter

10:05 pm

Jacula

This all sounds like lyrics from a number of Queen songs that youtube will no longer allow me to link to. Double GRR!

10:05 pm

PAV3

I need the very last da6 24

10:06 pm

10:07 pm

PAV3

10:07 pm

pippingeek

10:07 pm

Jacula

Happy Babbling and yuotubing (huh!) all. xx

10:07 pm

pippingeek

10:09 pm

PAV3

10:09 pm

Jellen

G'night, jac

10:09 pm

gremlinn

Aha, secretly he knew he could help provide a lasting memory - how sweet!

10:10 pm

pippingeek

perfectly fine - do you have any idea how many gorgeous people there are at a rock climbing gym? i'd rather watch them than worry about him any day

10:11 pm

PAV3

don't we all wish to be remembered for something?

10:11 pm

pippingeek

i think so - tho i would generally prefer to be memorable for doing something good rather than being terrible at something i want to do well

10:12 pm

herinfernallady

Pip it seems to me like this lad has been reading The Game

10:12 pm

pippingeek

well that's one game he's lost before he got a chance to play the fun parts!

10:13 pm

herinfernallady

Apparnetly it is a book that teachers guys to date. Sorry I just think its b.s

10:13 pm

PAV3

...and in the game of life, we can't win if we don't play...

10:13 pm

pippingeek

most of those books are, on both sides of the gender aisles

10:14 pm

gremlinn

No, the only way to win is NOT to play. Don't you remember the end of War Games?

10:14 pm

herinfernallady

I don't like burning books in fact it makes me chringe. But in this case I feel that those books make good fire blocks

10:14 pm

pippingeek

how about global thermonuclear war?

10:14 pm

gremlinn

Or maybe that's a different game.

10:14 pm

PAV3

10:15 pm

gremlinn

How...about...a nice game...of chess?

11:47 pm

flosey

11:47 pm

Andree

bye mpitt

11:48 pm

flosey

me too Pav, nothing until after a visit to the lab

11:48 pm

PAV3

it's my regular blood-letting to discover all the good things I've been doing edible-wise...

11:49 pm

flosey

good for you Pav, this is also routine, yearly, but he's ticked off just about everything on the form

11:49 pm

flosey

they may drain me!!

11:49 pm

jillibus

Still only one pinprick, though, isn't it?

11:50 pm

PAV3

yep, and th doc will be looking for my allergy meds to show up too...

11:50 pm

flosey

yes, thanks goodness jilli

11:50 pm

PAV3

ONLY! one is quite enough for me...

11:50 pm

flosey

ah, to make sure you're taking them Pav, like a good boy

11:51 pm

flosey

yes, isn't it awful, how we dread these silly little pin-pricks

11:51 pm

PAV3

I'm taking Omnaris...the latest in NSAID nasal sprays

11:51 pm

flosey

interesting, have not heard of it

11:52 pm

PAV3

after we ran through the list of what I have taken, this was it...

11:52 pm

jillibus

good think I don't mind them -- have to have one very 4 weeks because of arthritis meds

11:52 pm

flosey

wow, so you've tried them all?

11:52 pm

jillibus

*good thing

11:52 pm

flosey

oh Jilli, I wouldn't care for that

11:53 pm

jillibus

flosey, that cake looks TOO delicious!

11:53 pm

flosey

I was looking for the most decadent cake I could find - not bad eh?

11:53 pm

jillibus

it's just a drag having to get there before 1 pm

11:53 pm

PAV3

..and after the latest voluntary bloodletting for the local UNited Blood Services drive, wherein they couldn't find a vein in me to save my life or any others, I've just about sworn off any more blood letting....

11:54 pm

flosey

oh Pav, that's awful - happened to hubby, they finally asked him if he'd like to come back the next day! someone else would be on

11:54 pm

PAV3

well, Movieman might not gain an ounce, but it sure looks pound worthy

11:54 pm

gremlinn

When that happens, you gotta bring out the leeches.

11:55 pm

flosey

doesn't it Pav

11:55 pm

flosey

oh yuk Grem, that sounds pretty yukky

11:55 pm

flosey

and, there's really nothing pretty about yukky

11:56 pm

flosey

(to correct myself, before jilli does)

11:56 pm

jillibus

like Thurber's "pretty ugly"

11:56 pm

gremlinn

It's pretty pretty.

11:56 pm

flosey

lol

11:56 pm

PAV3

and not purty ugly?

11:56 pm

jillibus

am I that bad, flosey?

11:56 pm

gremlinn

Darn, that no longer looks like a real word.

11:57 pm

VolleymomDee

11:58 pm

flosey

I'd like that Grem - since I have to leave bright and early for the lab
