stidmama

hey west!

12:15 am

PAV3

my HOA (before I got on the board) was unruly and temperamental and said I (MOI, your truly, meself) NEEDED to keep it trimmed and proper...mind you this was summer of '01, less than one month into my ownership...I said I really just wanted to get rid of it, however the underground sprinkler system in place wouldn't let me...two years later, after fixing said sprinkler system, it finally died...and I was dinged for having a dead plant ...

12:15 am

Uneaixoise

hey, jilli and west and stid :-)

12:16 am

jillibus

would it be gross to netion that Canada has 13 golds?

12:16 am

12:16 am

VolleymomDee

PAV3

OH CANADA! netion - mention?

12:16 am

VolleymomDee

12:17 am

stidmama

ALLEZ CANADA ALLEZ!!!! *shakes red and white pompoms again*

12:17 am

jillibus

typo, pav (groan)

12:17 am

westford

I love hearing the song played and seeing everyone singing along

12:17 am

flosey

I do too west, always choke up

12:17 am

PAV3

so now the hibiscus is gone and I'm on the HOA board where we don't care (too much) who's growing what...

12:18 am

jillibus

HOA???

12:18 am

westford

some HOA's over do it

12:18 am

Uneaixoise

i have amaryllis and clivia blooming! (inside of course!)

12:18 am

cybernan

hope we get our gold record tomorrow!

12:18 am

PAV3

I don't particularly think Americans should sing the phrase "we stand on guard for thee" though..double entendre..

12:18 am

stidmama

wow Une! that would be lovely.

12:19 am

stidmama

HOA == homeowner's association.

12:19 am

PAV3

my Meyer lemon tree will have +3 lemons this year! yay for my greenish thumb!

12:19 am

stidmama

I refused to even look for a place with one.

12:19 am

MetFan

I was deep in the grid and didn't notice - did Lickety put up a list?

12:19 am

Uneaixoise

just bought another clivia now that i understand that you treat them just like amaryllis :-)

12:19 am

Uneaixoise

how cool, pav!

12:20 am

stidmama

not yet Met (that rhymes...)

12:20 am

MetFan

rate

12:20 am

VolleymomDee

our neighborhood association is inconsistent and ridiculous.. they pick and choose who they pick on, and their inconsistencies do not protect property value

12:20 am

Uneaixoise

lucy arnaz's neighbor's in the grid :-)

12:20 am

MetFan

Sorry

12:20 am

stidmama

and I am just now one word past halfway, so heading to bed before I am up too late.

12:20 am

PAV3

yep HOA's get a bad rap here. but it's pretty much cuz owners still want to do their own thing regardless of the ruels and regs in place to keep the common areas prim and proper..helps to sell homes, but who cares nowadays...

12:21 am

westford

we bought our cottage in Maine in 1993 a lovely cul-de-sac with little cottages all different all built by the owner now the son has turned them into condos and you'd think it was the federal government

12:21 am

PAV3

ruels = rules

12:21 am

jillibus

I don't think our anthem should say "My home and native land" so I sing "My home and favoured land" -- also I sing "To all thy souls command", not "sons". I am not a native Canadian, nor am I anyone's son.

12:21 am

VolleymomDee

aren't we ALL rebels tonight lol

12:21 am

stidmama

good for you jill.

12:21 am

stidmama

reasonable substitutions.

12:22 am

stidmama

and I am outta here. ALLEZ TOUTS LE MONDE!!! (don't remember how to say everyone)

12:22 am

westford

I for one am happy that the Chiluly theme was chosen otherwise I wouldn't have known about Grand Rapids

12:22 am

cybernan

I am a native canadian and I like it the way it is

12:22 am

jillibus

I think so. It's my little crusade, if that isn't a dirty word these days.

12:22 am

PAV3

oh, that reminds me...brb.

12:22 am

stidmama

and DORS BIEN everyone! :-D

*poof*

12:22 am

Uneaixoise

dors bien, stiddy!

12:23 am

VolleymomDee

my flower for my icon came from a chihuly exhibit at Phipps conservatory in Pittsburgh

12:23 am

westford

I have never seen any of his work in person and I'm really looking forward to it

12:23 am

jillibus

nan -- so you would exclude me as a non-native Canadian?

12:24 am

jillibus

west -- your icon and write-up are wonderful

12:24 am

VolleymomDee

you will be duly impressed... odd fellow, but so extremely talented

12:24 am

jillibus

night , stiddy

12:24 am

cybernan

no -- I just don't think that people who emigrate to Canada should be able to change our historical institutions to suit themselves.

12:25 am

westford

thanks jilli going to a wedding in Lansing and we'll be going to Grand Rapids to visit Jon's sister..Now I'm really looking forward to it

12:26 am

westford

hi pug don't drink the phantom tea

12:26 am

cybernan

what would you think if I said the British anthem should be God Save the Queen because not everyone believes in God?

12:26 am

pugmama763

prob wouldn't taste too good

12:27 am

cybernan

*shouldn't be

12:27 am

Uneaixoise

12:27 am

jillibus

and the only native Canadians are the First Nations -- and the original anthem was in French "de nos aieux", meaning "our (French) ancestors"

12:28 am

cybernan

that's not true -- being native to a country is to be born there

12:28 am

Uneaixoise

th6 x 3

12:28 am

well I think our anthem should be My Country 'Tis of Thee, it's much easier to sing...

12:28 am

cybernan

lol, pav

12:28 am

Uneaixoise

pav LOL!

12:29 am

westford

and same tune as God Save the Queen

12:29 am

Uneaixoise

exactly

12:29 am

PAV3

it's the same music as God Save the Queen, and prob was written to offend the British, but what do I know?

12:29 am

VolleymomDee

I think they should all remain historical... same as always ... :)

12:29 am

pugmama763

you'd think they could have come up with something original wouldn't you?

12:30 am

jillibus

nan, beacause I was born in China, there was a time when I would have had to enter the USA on the non-existent Chinese quota, but I was a minor so I could go in on my mother's permission, but although she was 100% British she happened to be born in Germany so was considered German. If a cat has cookies in the oven, they're cookies? Ridiculous.

12:31 am

VolleymomDee

help please with the lonely o

12:31 am

westford

I like America I Love You..from my mother's old piano book

12:31 am

12:36 am

cybernan

sorry you are upset, Jill -- I just have very strong feelings about people who come here from other countries and expect us to change our ways and heritage to whatever they left behind. I don't like seeing the RCMP in turbans and I don't want kids carrying knives to school, claiming they are ceremonial. I don't like the fact that God has been kicked out of our schools or any of the other changes that have been made because people who come here don't think they should try to adopt our culture as well as our country.

12:36 am

PAV3

that may be said equally for the USA , NAn

12:37 am

cybernan

I know, pav

12:37 am

VolleymomDee

yipes

12:46 am

jillibus

nan, I refuse to lie when singing the anthem to honour our country. I am not a native, and I am not a son. I am not a second-class citizen because I was not born here. I am deeply offended at your attitude.

12:46 am

westford

she just kept cutting and cutting

12:47 am

VolleymomDee

mine does same west... more she talks... more she whacks... have to really wa5.. her

12:48 am

12:50 am

jillibus

No, nan, I'm afraid not.

12:51 am

cybernan

sorry you feel that way, but I was born and raised a Canadian and you will not change my mind or my feelings about my country

12:51 am

VolleymomDee

ok, here are all the 7's: ae, be, ch, es, he x 2, ra x 2, ta, th, wa, wr

12:52 am

jillibus

As long as you regard me as having no rights here, I cannot agree in any way.

12:52 am

VolleymomDee

rights to change the words of a national anthem... seems odd to me

12:52 am

cybernan

Jill -- I don't really care what you sing or don't sing -- what I care about is that you seem to expect us to change our anthem to suit you.

12:53 am

jillibus

You may love OUR country with all your heart, nan, just don't deny ME.

12:54 am

jillibus

Nan, the anthem has been changed many times, and my suggestion is not just to suit ME, but includes many others of greater value.

12:55 am

PAV3

Nan - in reading and remembering the chog, I don't Miss Jilli stated any song should be changed, just that she prefers to change words to suit her feelings...call it artistic perogative, whatever...personally I don't/won't sing our national anthem either. but it is what it is...now shall we babble?

12:57 am

VolleymomDee

speaking of babbling... anyone find the missing 8?

12:57 am

cybernan

O Canada!
Terre de nos aÃ¯eux,
Ton front est ceint de fleurons glorieux.

Car ton bras sait porter l'Ã©pÃ©e,
Il sait porter la croix.

Ton histoire est une Ã©popÃ©e,
Des plus brillants exploits.

Et ta valeur, de foi trempÃ©e,
ProtÃ©gera nos foyers et nos droits.

ProtÃ©gera nos foyers et nos droits.

1:01 am

jillibus

O Canada! Where pines and maples grow.
Great prairies spread and lordly rivers flow.
How dear to us thy broad domain,
From East to Western Sea,
Thou land of hope for all who toil!
Thou True North, strong and free!

Refrain
O Canada, glorious and free! etc.

O Canada! Beneth thy shining skies
May stalwart sons and gentle maidens rise,
To keep thee steadfast through the years
From East to Western Sea,
Our own beloved native land!
Our True North, strong and free!

Refrain
O Canada, glorious and free! etc.

Ruler supreme, who hearest humble prayer,
Hold our dominion whithin thy loving care;
Help us to find, O God, in thee
A lasting, rich reward,
As waiting for the Better Day,
We ever stand on guard.

Refrain
O Canada, glorious and free! etc

2:11 am

westford

I was checking my email at the 'burp'; Yay dee and Jilli please don't take what nan said personally you are the most Canadian Canadian I know

2:11 am

jillibus

west, how can I not take it personally -- it was directed at me

2:12 am

westford

I didn't see it that way she seemed like she was talking about others

2:12 am

jillibus

But it was also directed at many of my friends who were also not born here but love this country and are good citizens.

2:13 am

westford

well I have no doubt that you do

2:13 am

jillibus

In her view only those born here are entitled to be Canadian -- others have no rights.

2:14 am

westford

my grandparents were born in Canada and were subjects of the Queen

2:15 am

westford

that confused some of the relatives..' I didn't know they were born in England' lol

2:15 am

jillibus

well, then they could be Canadian but if you weren't born here you could never be.

2:16 am

westford

that was in the 1880's

2:16 am

jillibus

Incidentally, I was born a British subject but the wording has been changed, I was told, and now it's British citizen.

2:16 am

jillibus

PC rules.

2:16 am

westford

if I had my way there would be no borders so much that is terrible is done in the name of real estate

2:16 am

VolleymomDee

k, should be in my profile... got to get moving... church in a few hours

2:16 am

Atalante

I don't think she said that at all, Jilli. Personally.

2:17 am

VolleymomDee

I need grem's handy dandy little program

2:17 am

westford

thanks for the list dee and say a little prayer for me

2:17 am

jillibus

Dee, say a prayer that nan will be more accepting

2:17 am

VolleymomDee

I will say a prayer for you both... I don't think it appropriate to discuss her when she isn't here Hugs to you jili and to all

2:17 am

lynxxx

I think you are taking what Nan said out of context Jilli. Cybernan just wants to uphold traditional standards it seemed to me.

Atalante

ooo lucky you, westford! They really are amazing. I'm never quite sure if I *like* a lot of them, but they certainly are amazing

2:21 am

jillibus

Lyn, she is, and says the likes of me have no right to change anything because we were not born here, so I am arequited to lie if I sing O Canada as it now exists (a revised version approved only in 1980) -- It says "my home and native land" -- I am not a native, nor are many others, so I sing "my home and favoured land", of which she does not approve. I am not discussing her, just those ideas.

2:21 am

Atalante

no, she really didn't, Jilli ...

2:21 am

jillibus

herinfernallady

I did and I nearly cried she is not a cuddler

westford

I wore size 10 in college, but too skinny now.

4:23 am

rubyfoo

I had muscles then, not nothing left

4:23 am

smooth_pappa

11:07 am

hurshy

11:15 am

Kaplan the Magne

As in the US should never have fought the revolution?

11:23 am

flosey

11:23 am

Atalante

yep, and it looks wrong without the a! :D

11:38 am

SeaSpray

the devestation in Chile is unbelievable

11:38 am

hurshy

what happened in chile?

11:39 am

SeaSpray

8.8 earthquake yesterday

11:39 am

Judi

That was a kick-ass earthquake. From what they've shown on CNN, Chile appears to be fairly modern. Doesn't seem to be poverty stricken like Haiti.

11:39 am

DR1965

8.8 earthquake

11:39 am

hurshy

oh dear

11:39 am

rururocks

I think the devastation was a bit worse in Haiti

11:39 am

DR1965

I think so too RURU

11:40 am

nrkii

Also Chile has had a bigger earthquake in the past, so I think they also must have built a lot of their buildings to withstand some of this

11:40 am

nrkii

Oh no, really ruru?

11:41 am

Judi

I heard on one report that most of the buildings in Chile are fairly new and built to withstand earthquakes because they are fairly common in the region. But, I don't think most buildings could survive an 8.8.

11:41 am

dcseain

yes, much lower quality construction in Haiti, worse economy, and fewer resources

11:41 am

rururocks

most of the tall buildings in Santiago were built very strongly to withstand giant earthquakes. I have been ther

11:41 am

nrkii

Shoot, I hate when the news reports the early news so optimistically -- I have not had a chance to catch up

11:41 am

SeaSpray

take a look at the pics on CNN, lots of buildings and roads completely gone

11:41 am

hurshy

well here's a first - found a word in morewords that enable doesn't take - usually they're so in sync

11:41 am

nrkii

I can't even imagine 8.8... worst I ever went through was 6.7 I think

11:41 am

dcseain

Concepcion was destroyed almost completely between quake and waves

11:42 am

dcseain

which word was that, hurshy?

11:42 am

hurshy

pl of th5/16

11:42 am

nrkii

bbl... lunchtime...

11:42 am

dcseain

11:43 am

smooth_pappa

can someone help me with a clue for the very first TA? That's a TA 5,10. I think I must be blind

11:43 am

Judi

6.7 is a pretty good shake. 8.8 must have seemed like the world was splitting in half.

11:43 am

hurshy

the first ta is a 4/4, the 5/10 after that is pl of it

11:44 am

hurshy

babblet

11:44 am

Atalante

at least it was 22 miles down

11:45 am

rururocks

I have been in a 7.3 and that is plenty scary

11:45 am

smooth_pappa

oh shoot! Sorry, I had that first line in lickety's list covered up... that helps me a lot. :-P

11:45 am

hurshy

dear all, please note that lickety has fallen for it too and lists a th6/27 in the printable list that babble will not take

11:45 am

hurshy

yes, and in the non-printable list too

11:46 am

hurshy

note that he says there are 182 and babble only has 181

11:46 am

FMitch

wow ruru

11:46 am

dcseain

so the newer ENABLE takes teh word. Babble uses an older one.

11:46 am

11:49 am

Atalante

11:49 am

dcseain

a wave large enough to put big ships on the beach hit Concepcion, Chile

11:49 am

rururocks

of course a bunch of idiots head to the beach to see it

11:49 am

Judi

I was worried for Japan and Australia. They seemed to be in the tsunami path. Haven't heard anything, so must be no news is good news.

11:49 am

rururocks

Chile is such a beautiful country.. I would love to go back

11:50 am

cybernan

idiocy is not a domain of any particular race

11:50 am

Judi

Amazing, ruru. That's like climbing a tree to get a better view of lightning. DUH!

11:50 am

Atalante

Judi, as anything I say seems to be invisible, I shall repeat. Didn't fizzle in Japan. A lot of Hokkaido went under water

11:50 am

11:51 am

Atalante

11:51 am

Judi

Thank you, Ata. I shall have to surf for updated news reports. Hubby's newphew and wife live in Tokyo.

11:52 am

Atalante

they didn't mention Tokyo. I think only the north got hit

11:52 am

Judi

And, you are not invisible, Ata dear. Perhaps... enigmatic, but certainly not invisible.

11:52 am

Atalante

ooo I like enigmatic :D

11:53 am

Judi

Have we heard from any of our Aussie friends? Any wave action there?

11:53 am

Atalante

hmmm good question

11:54 am

rururocks

1:48 pm

Pinikula

oh, wow, TO!

1:48 pm

Minveryork

What a restriction 72 Temple Owl. I couldn't do that

1:48 pm

Nef

Wow, TO, that IS a penance!

1:49 pm

72 Temple Owl

that's why i am thinking of trying it

1:49 pm

Pinikula

(still working on the bottom left H clues)

1:49 pm

72 Temple Owl

it is taking too much time away from other things. i don't know how you all manage, truthfully.

1:49 pm

Minveryork

1:50 pm

Pinikula

cute, TO! :)

1:50 pm

Nef

My lenten resolution is to not get upset or swear at bad drivers; to say a prayer for their safety (and everyone else they are around) on the road. It's hard. Giving up the computer would be much worse

1:51 pm

72 Temple Owl

now THAT'S penence! i'd have to take a 40 day vacation to do that

1:51 pm

Minveryork

I think that I will give up giving up something for lent

stidmama

1:55 pm

Nef

I'm not a person who *normally* swears; but some drivers have made me swear with their dangerous driving. It's been really hard to NOT yell at bad drivers; and to turn that adrenalin surge into a rayer has really made a difference in how *I* feel

1:55 pm

Minveryork

Lickety is up and running with one mistake stidmama

1:55 pm

Minveryork

Lickety has 182 words. There is no th 6/27 in puzzle.

2:46 pm

Nancy Boy

2:47 pm

Nef

I need to go and do some stuff; so I was just leaving for now. How are you doing NB?

2:47 pm

Nancy Boy

And Minver! I'm doing alright thanks :) bit lonely in the flat recently since Leo has to work late this week, but luckily there is babble!

2:48 pm

Minveryork

Goodbye Nef!I will see you later on in the chog maybe

2:48 pm

Nef

How are things going for you these days? Have you seen your sister again?

2:49 pm

Minveryork

Yes,there is ALWAYS Babble!I would rather not have my husband here so I can babble in peace Nancy Boy.

2:49 pm

Nef

(I'm going to stall my DH for a bit, Min. Can't put stuff off too long, but maybe a few minutes)

2:50 pm

hydra

2:51 pm

Minveryork

Hello hydra! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!

2:51 pm

Nef

hydra, there isn't a 2nd th 6/27 It's a misprint pl

2:51 pm

Minveryork

The second th 6/27 is an extra word in Lickety's list.

2:51 pm

hydra

Thanks so much, Nef. I was on earlier, puzzling over it.

2:52 pm

Nancy Boy

LOL Min! Leo and I are in the honeymoon period ;)

2:52 pm

Nancy Boy

And Hydra! Hello :)

2:54 pm

Minveryork

Enjoy it while it lasts Nancy Boy. Hope it lasts longer for you. How long have you been together Nancy Boy

2:55 pm

Nancy Boy

Been together for just over two years (on our two year anniversary he presented me with the key to his flat and asked me to move in) so living here is almost still a novelty. All the time I was at home, I had to keep it all very secret.

2:56 pm

hydra

Leo sounds so romantic!

2:57 pm

Nancy Boy

I wouldn't get disowned for just anyone, Hydra ;) I'll tell him you approve!

2:57 pm

Minveryork

That's great. Hubby and I lived together for a LONG time before we got married. We were engaged for 3 years, but lived together for a long time before that.

2:58 pm

Nancy Boy

I think that's the best way to go about it, Minver...have you two been together for a long time? If so, I'm willing to bet that's the secret of success!

2:58 pm

herekittykitty

Fireworks. I have to go in few minutes. anyone need any clues before I go.

2:58 pm

Nancy Boy

nice one!

2:58 pm

hydra

I once got married to someone and didn't tell a soul, not even my parents. Three years later I got an equally secret divorce! Hi kitty. Didn't know you were here.

2:59 pm

herekittykitty

Hi hydra. had my head buried.

3:00 pm

Minveryork

So I'm confused. Your profile states you are 19 year old male.Are you babbling on boyfriend's account now

3:00 pm

We've been married for 35 years; did not live together before marriage and still feel like newlyweds *most* of the time. DH has cabin fever right now so he's a bit more demanding than normal

Congratulations herekittykitty on fireworks! Hooray

Good morning all. How intriguing Hydra

3:00 pm

Nancy Boy

That's incredible, Hydra! I couldn't keep a secret like that...I should have tried, but perhaps my parents might have started wondering where I was.

3:00 pm

hydra

Just got my fireworks too. Hi lynxxx!

3:00 pm

Nancy Boy

Nef, congratulations on staying together so long :)

3:00 pm

Congrats Hydr!

The postscript to my story was I needn't have bothered with either because he turned out to be a bigamist! One day I shall write my life story. Now I must go. Nite/morning all! *poof*

I'll buy the book Hydra - Byee

3:01 pm

Nancy Boy

Hydra, I think you're great, but it's UNFAIR to drop a bomb like that and then leave!!

3:02 pm

herekittykitty

ahh Hydra. I have a similar story, spent a year with a man who had a "second" life. was a big secret and a waste.

3:02 pm

hydra

Oh (not quite gone yet), it wasn't hard, Nef, as I was living in a different city. Oh kitty, I can't go now! Tell us more! There's obviously more of it around than I thought.

3:02 pm

Nef

bye hyra

3:03 pm

Minveryork

Bye hydra! I will see you tomorrow in the chog maybe

3:03 pm

herekittykitty

haha. he also lived in another city, and so we maintained two houses, with him spendng most time at mine.

3:04 pm

herekittykitty

the few times at was at his, was a very scheduled event. He had an exwife and children that i knew of, but during that time he reunited with her, that i didnt know of...

3:04 pm

Nef

Geez, it almost sounds like it's the same guy, kitty and hydra!

3:04 pm

herekittykitty

could be. it was a great con he had going!

3:04 pm

Nancy Boy

this is incredible, you two.

3:05 pm

herekittykitty

it is one of those things you hear about and think people cant pull off, but they can...esp when its a distance relationship.

3:06 pm

hydra

Good grief, how complicated. kitty! Mind you, I also had a child and almost managed to keep that a secret, too, till someone saw my enormous bump and told my sister. Nef, my 'husband' had married an American, had two kids that I knew nothing about, obtained a divorce in Reno that wasn't recognised in the UK, so in the States he was divorced and in Britain he was still married. He's commited 'trigamy' now. Your story is much more dramatic and interesting, kitty

3:06 pm

herekittykitty

since the cat is out of the bag, he is alone, and his wife and I are becoming great friends....

3:06 pm

Nef

Well, I've stalled long enough I guess. DH says I need to get dressed (for the first time today. It's 3 PM so he's probably right!)

3:06 pm

hydra

There's a plot for a movie, kitty!

3:06 pm

hydra

And now I really AM off! Bye, all.

3:07 pm

herekittykitty

yes, or maybe i will write a book. it has comedy and tragedy!

3:07 pm

3:07 pm

I did a paragraph of clues as I sat at 4/5 of my chair so here it is.I'm an aggresive driver. I am not the be 4/7 driver on this ea 5/12.I be4/7 my horn all of the time. When I drive my car,all be4/7 are off.I'm like a ch7/40 when I drive. It is not a tr5/10 to drive with hubby.He will wa5/22 everything I do. Hubby yells at me every time I drive, but I never want to he 4/5 it. Sometimes hubby and I will get into he4/5 arguments when I drive.Hubby yelling at me does not he4/5 the situation. I pl 4/5 with him to not yell at me. But it is ra4/4 for him to not yell at me when I am driving. He would ra5/12r yell at me than se6/18 for being quiet My hubby would ra 4/4 my driving a negative 10. He wonders how I ever passed driving te4/4.He thinks I am a he4/5 when I drive.Now he only le 4/4 me drive when he needs a designated driver. Hubby op4/5 for a designated drive a lot though.Sometimes I'd like to just kick him out of the car on his re 4/4 & have him call a taxi cab. However, I am careful when I drive in bad weather like sl 5/10. Then I drive slow because I have knots in my ch 5/14 and the he 5/12 palpitates from being nervous. So th4/5 is the end of my story. I have nothing el4/4 to say.I could get my butt in ge 4/6 and do some chores, but no, I ha 4/5 chores! I'll spend the rest of the day in and of out the ch4/6 log

{{Dorens}} I am so sorry. Wish I could do something to help

4:18 pm

Dorens, I feel your pain. I just buried my mom last Wednesday - one of the hardest

4:18 pm

Dorens

thanks.. time is all... I just keep thinking of that lovely family... I'm home now, so the pain is fading, but for them....

4:18 pm

Dorens

oh sorry joey. how are you feeling now?

4:18 pm

Mom

My condolences, Joey

4:19 pm

pretty awful. first time since then that I have been alone

4:19 pm

joey

thanks, mom

4:19 pm

jmcnrick

hi all

4:19 pm

Dorens

this is a former student, truly a golden girl. we were very close... but it is more the fact that she was just so good and bubbly and alive. with such promise. this is sadder for me than when my father died, and my mother-in-law.

4:20 pm

jmcnrick

sorry to hear of your mother's death joey

4:20 pm

Mom

that must be terrible Joey.

4:20 pm

joey

thanks, jmcnrick

4:20 pm

Dorens

alone in the beginning is difficult joey... as i just said, time is the only thing that helps, but that is not much comfort now, i know.

4:20 pm

jmcnrick

my mother died in November

4:20 pm

joey

Dorens, how old was she? was it sudden?

4:20 pm

MizHoffle

lickity has 182 words, but babble has 181. I have been trying to find the ha 5/16. Am I missing it or is a phantom?

4:20 pm

Mom

HI Jmc, sorry for the loss of your mom

4:21 pm

joey

jmcnrick, then you know how I am feeling. Mine lived with me and she was my best friend

4:21 pm

Dorens

She was just 17... a dreadful two months; she was in the ICU since first week of January. a condition called thyroid storm... massive organ failure

4:21 pm

joey

omg, i am so sorry

4:22 pm

Mom

MizHoffle, there is a mistake, but I don't remember what the mistake is on Lickety

4:22 pm

Dorens

i was trying to be there for all my former students who might need help, and I nearly broke down at the open casket. I'm not good at those.

4:23 pm

Mom

I am with you there, Dorens, I can't handle an open casket

4:23 pm

cjmomma

I am sorry for your losses and send prayers to you

4:24 pm

the mistake in lickety is the th6/27 I believe

4:24 pm

Dorens

i am jewish, and they just don't happen. first time i saw one i was already 40 years old, and i still haven't gotten good at it. But a 17 year old girl? who has been attached to machines for the last six weeks... oh. no. just horrible

4:24 pm

ahh..then what is the ha 5/16?

4:25 pm

4:26 pm

Dorens, the Jewish don't have open caskets?

4:26 pm

Dorens

none that i've ever been to. they may have them somewhere, but I've never seen it.

4:27 pm

cjmomma

I have seen too many open caskets and it helps those for closure I guess, I would rather keep the picture of them alive in my memory

4:27 pm

Mom

wow, unless the person was in a really bad accident they always seem to have open caskets down here

4:28 pm

Mom

Amen Cjmomma

4:28 pm

i've always managed to achieve closure without them. don't understand the need, but i realize this is cultural, and personal.

re: open/closed casket and Judaism - no prohibition against open casket, but impractical because of (1) no "viewing," (2) burial within 24 hours and (3) no embalming

I "think" they put another 4 minutes on the clock and obviously whoever scores and I think from there it's another 4 minutes...not sure

4:33 pm

The open casket thing - it just looked nothing like the person I knew.

4:33 pm

jillibus

open caskets are not the custom here usually. My parents died in the USA and I'm afraid I disappointed some people by having closed caskets.

4:33 pm

I need valium or a shot of Jack......or maybe both!

Hi Jill, why would they be disappointed?

is that "maple sucking" bacon vodka?

I'm stuck can't see the th5/16

4:35 pm

just a hint of maple

4:35 pm

I think it would be easier to remember them the way they were. I have yet to see an open casket where the person looked like themself

4:36 pm

cjmomma

I agree Mom

4:36 pm

jmcnrick

ah sudden death overtime! i always felt that was unfair

4:36 pm

Lady Biotch

that's to welki's hockey master mine in napping (can you imagine?) otherwise I"might" have provided the correct answer

4:36 pm

jmcnrick

so they do it the way they do in soccer

4:36 pm

crosshair

we also tend to have closed caskets,last thing we want to see is our loved ones with the wrong hair style and made up like bobo the clown to hide medical or acedent trauma

4:37 pm

Lady Biotch

*thanks to .... (must be that bacon vodka kicking in)

4:37 pm

Mom

my grandparents donated their bodies to science and we did not get to have anything for them

Personally I dislike funerals, but understand if others feel the need I guess. As a Buddhist, the body is immaterial, mine's going to science, specifically going to be plastinated for people to learn from and stare at. LOL!

Here when they donate to science they cremate them when they are finished and call you to see if you want the ashes. No cost involved

my aunt told me there's something called the neptune society in the states ... prepaid cremation, sort of like a pick-up service, all done ahead of time, very simple. (we don't have a program like that up here ... not that i could find, anyway)

4:42 pm

tfgrrl

I am also of the opinion that EVERYONE should sign their organ donor cards. It's not a decision your family should have to make at a time like that, but you can save/improve the lives of a lot of people.

4:42 pm

I SO don't want an open casket. Don't care for being cremated either, but guess it doesn't matter since I won't feel it.Guess open casket doesn't matter since I will not see everybody staring at me either.

organ donation is the way to go, and then there's a "natural" or "green" funeral - no embalming, no casket, just stuff that will decompose and return "dust to dust"...that's my choice

4:46 pm

tfgrrl

Is this a Cabanna boy thing a rental or answered and ad in the paper or what? I've always kinda wanted one.

4:46 pm

jmcnrick

if it matters to you, you should tell your kids

4:49 pm

java2

Committing suicide is only a crime if you succeed. A failed attempt means you need psychological help. So if you succeed,you've broken the law.What are they going to do tfgrrl?

Minveryork

Congratulations tfgrrl on your pro status. Good for U

4:58 pm

if you're not the winner and place second, you're the 'first loser' .. i don't agree with that, i feel that just making it to the olympics is an accomplishment, but these athletes compete to win

6:28 pm

HI flosey. Yes I am feeling very proud right now. I had no idea that we could do as well as we did. Canadians seemed to have 4th place in the Olympics pretty well locked up until now

6:29 pm

Bugsaw

I liked how fast the game was playe
d but it was very rough tho.

6:29 pm

flosey

yes Bugs - even in the previous 2 Canadian Olympics, no gold! They did us proud

I've posted a bit in my profile about "O Canada" if anyone is interested in its history.

I'm busting out all over, bugs!

good for you jilli

congrats Canadians & Happy Babbling to all...need to rest this headache...Poof!

6:33 pm

jillibus

And I trotted out to the beginning of my driveway, waving our flag, and putting it out to greet passers by.

6:33 pm

Bugsaw

I love your line "from sea to sea to sea" jilli. Who do we contact about making that the new line?

6:34 pm

flosey

Bugs, for starters your local MP ?

6:34 pm

Bugsaw

I am so proud of you for showing your patriotism that way jilli

6:34 pm

Bugsaw

my local MP is a goof

6:36 pm

jillibus

Thanks, bugs -- I wish I knew who would pay any attention -- and I learned last night that there can be a very negative response to any change.

6:36 pm

flosey

oh dear, bugs, well, even if he/she is a goof, perhaps your letter would be passed on

6:36 pm

tfgrrl

I love it Jili and forgive my geoignorance, what is the third sea? I really wish they would change our ridiculous anthem

6:37 pm

jmcnrick

make a youtube with cute kids or hockey players singing the new line

6:37 pm

Bugsaw

what happened last night?

6:37 pm

jmcnrick

(artic)

6:37 pm

tfgrrl

or cute kids playing hockey

6:37 pm

flosey

Jilli, you can sing my/our national anthem however you wish, it does not offend me - your wording does not offend anyone

6:37 pm

jillibus

the third sea is the one on top -- the Arctic Ocean, tfgrrl

6:38 pm

Bugsaw

great idea jmc!! we can get a gathering of Babble grandkids

6:38 pm

tfgrrl

or cute hockey players with kids, the permutations are endless

6:38 pm

jillibus

I didn't think it did, flosey, but you can check the archive

6:38 pm

flosey

they do look young don't they

6:38 pm

Bugsaw

Good point tf, there were some cute players when they all took their helmets off and smiled

6:39 pm

tfgrrl

TY I thought it might be, and for my money you an have it, brrrrrrrr.

6:39 pm

stidgmere

Time to go be creative in the kitchen. Again, thanks for very inspirational Olympic games. We went to Vancouver in November and thought the preparations were excellent.

6:39 pm

flosey

yes, I did jilli, was tempted to make a comment at the beginning of next grid - yes? or no? some will never change

6:39 pm

Bugsaw

I did think it was sad that the U boys seemed so down. They could not have played any harder than they did and a silver medal is nothing to be disappointed in

6:39 pm

tfgrrl

Yup, there was one in particular I went on about a bit.

6:39 pm

jillibus

Nice to have "seen" you gmere -- bfn

6:40 pm

Boobear

clue for the ar. I have ar 4/4 and ar 5/10

6:40 pm

jmcnrick

to be fair they had to get their metals within minutes of losing

6:40 pm

LuvWordGames

ar + what you wear on your head

6:40 pm

flosey

ar4 - a plot of land, or whatever, and the 5 add a vowel

6:41 pm

flosey

both teams played a great game, it was a thrill to watch

6:41 pm

Bugsaw

good point jmc. perhaps with time they will perk up and be proud of how they worked at such a rough game

6:43 pm

flosey

I think, with the exhaustion they must all have been feeling, it was quite a letdown, after the tie so close to the end of the game

6:43 pm

jillibus

oh, Virtue and Moir are on again (replay)

6:44 pm

Boobear

I saw them and they were fantastic

6:44 pm

flosey

they skate so beautifully together, and that Canada Goose bit (isn't that what they called it) was icing on the cake

6:44 pm

tfgrrl

Even Olympic athletes who win often experience profound depression after the games. They spend so much of their lives in build up to that and then what? It's over and........?

6:45 pm

flosey

exactly tf

6:45 pm

tfgrrl

At least if you lose and you're young enough you still have a goal.

6:45 pm

flosey

Yonge and Dundas in Toronto is blocked out - just a mass of partying

6:46 pm

flosey

**blocked off**

6:46 pm

tfgrrl

Sooo much pressure is put on these kids, they were talking about that might be why the US nordic combined team did so well this year, because they are all old for athletes, in their 30s+

6:46 pm

Bugsaw

my son in Vancouver was worried about riotting when it went to overtime. It would have spoiled the whole thing if that had happened

6:47 pm

tfgrrl

THey've had kids etc. Know there is more to life. Same thing is often true with marathoners and other sports where athletes are allowed to mature past their 20s.

6:47 pm

Bugsaw

tfgrrl I thot older people were much better at the endurance things. I remember hearing that in long track traces

6:49 pm

Bugsaw

I assumed it meant they were better at enduring pain than younger ones. A nurse at the hospital told me they could always tell if people were under 21 or over 21 by the way they accepted that pain relief would not be instantaneous

6:49 pm

tfgrrl

Hmm and what do you think would be the Darwinian explanation for that? It has been noticed that Tri athletes and distance runners who go off and have kids (women) often come back stronger than ever.

6:50 pm

jmcnrick

because nothing hurts like popping out a baby -- everything el** is easy

6:50 pm

Bugsaw

LOL jmc

6:50 pm

tfgrrl

That's an interesting thought, but you also have Kenyans and Ethiopians who can run the pants off anyone at any age. Men and women

6:52 pm

jmcnrick

eh?

6:52 pm

tfgrrl

Speaking of distance sports and things that hurt

6:53 pm

Bugsaw

Don't you remember transition? Apparentlym just at the point where you are allowed to push, women get very cranky and usually berate their partners pretty badly. My ex said the first sign of my labour was transition.... :)

6:54 pm

jmcnrick

ah well after 4 days of induction they gave me a C-section

6:55 pm

jmcnrick

my son was 12 lbs

6:55 pm

flosey

bugs, when I had our kids, hubbys were not allowed in

6:55 pm

flosey

WOW!! I would hope they'd to a C

6:55 pm

Bugsaw

oh my goodness jmc!! I have never heard of a 12 lb baby that wansn't in the National Enquirer

6:56 pm

tfgrrl

Twelve pounds? What the heck did you eat????????

6:56 pm

jillibus

same here re hubbies not allowed in -- and when my son was born I had to remind them to let him know -- he had been sent home, and they had forgotten.

6:57 pm

jmcnrick

it was a surprise

6:57 pm

tfgrrl

They sent him home? While you were in labor?

6:57 pm

java2

Transition was described to - an experienced by - me as the feeling that you can't and WON'T do it!

6:57 pm

Bugsaw

I think my ex was referring to how I woke him up at 1:30 in the morning to say the baby was coming. He growled, "I KNOW it is coming. It has been coming for 9 months now." and I was not impressed with his level of excitement.

6:57 pm

flosey

lol, hubby said wait until morning to call me !!!

6:58 pm

tfgrrl

At that weight I think I would have split the difference and gone for twins. :-)

6:59 pm

when i would walk down the hall you could tell when people started running down the hall to look at babies they were looking at mine

7:00 pm

jmcnrick

diamonds are a girls best friends

7:00 pm

java2

and then there's pearls of wisdom

7:00 pm

jmcnrick

pooh the last parent conferences i did i told the staff to call when they had something useful to say

7:01 pm

jmcnrick

pearls before swine

7:01 pm

Bugsaw

Definately worth it tfg. I fostered, adopted and had home made ones. Fostered and adopted had to wait a while before they could accept love and know it was real. It hurts sometimes

7:01 pm

tfgrrl

java is really good at distracting from slipups. I shall endeavor to learn from her.

7:01 pm

jmcnrick

but ethel isn't in the grid

7:02 pm

flosey

good for you Bugs, I think that's wonderful - daughter has considered it

7:02 pm

jmcnrick

my hub and i were thinking about adopting as well but ahem he died so we didn't

7:02 pm

tfgrrl

Yeah, it's always the parents you don't need to see who show up on PC night, it's the ones you have to call.

7:02 pm

7:04 pm

jillibus

I mean he6/36, the one after what you've been clueing, which is the metric acre

7:04 pm

java2

Yeah, there's never an excuse for that

7:05 pm

jmcnrick

the one i am cluing is the he6/36 after the land unit

well, it kind of depends on how loud they are yelling, if what is being thrown along with it is bigger than a breadbox.

7:05 pm

he6/36 is a donkey noise jillibus if you need the word

7:05 pm

flosey

he + brit goodbye, + a period of time as in the golden ***

7:05 pm

jmcnrick

oh throwing things is different

7:05 pm

jillibus

Back on the olden days when I was young, kids never spewed profanity at teachers or anyone else. What's happened?

7:05 pm

torgone

Maybe they didn't get it in Canada ..

7:06 pm

flosey

that's not very good jilli, but it's hard

well if they just called it in, it would be different. Heck, I'd give em my cell #. Trying to teach recurring theme while it's going on, or the rules for joining sentences together while a student is mocking you is tedious.

that is what I think, nan. I wish the focus were less on "winning" (making everyone else losers) and more on personal be4s and good strong attempts.

10:26 pm

jillibus

Ghana skier Kwame Nkrumah-Acheampong, more commonly known as Snow Leopard, on Saturday achieved his Olympic goal -- of not coming last in the slalom.
That dubious honour went to Albania's Erjon Tola, who finished 48th, a massive one minute, 4.56 seconds behind Italian gold medallist Giuliano Razzoli.
