Read it Jill and I certainly do not object to you singing your version. There is nothing wrong with it if it reflects how you feel. Personally I don't think it matters whether one considers this his/her homeland or native land by birth or by adoption . What truly matters is that you do consider this to be your land. I also consider it a blessing that in this country we are all free to have our own opinions.

hello FM

2:54 am

Haz1558

Good morning FM!

2:54 am

FMitch

and good morning/evening all

2:55 am

FMitch

just sent you a quick reply to yr email Haz.

2:55 am

Haz1558

Hello ruby - the hard working word also appears in the witches speech in Macbeth - hubble bubble, **** and trouble.

2:56 am

Haz1558

Thanks, FM, will look.

2:56 am

Douglas

John the Baptist would have like one of the words in this grid...it was a word he said a lot

2:56 am

FMitch

no rush

2:56 am

FMitch

Whats the grid like today?

2:56 am

rubyfoo

thank you haz and it gave me the fabricv at the same time!

2:56 am

Haz1558

Hello Dougles, we will mend our ways...

2:57 am

rubyfoo

now dh is back wtih the groceries

2:57 am

Haz1558

It's a nice grid so far, FM.

2:57 am

Douglas

Hello Haz

2:57 am

rubyfoo

ty douglas!

Douglas

yw ruby

2:57 am

FMitch

Hi Douglas

2:58 am

rubyfoo

and french star!!! yay

2:58 am

Haz1558

It's always a nice grid when you can get words within words, isn't it?

2:58 am

Douglas

Hello FMitch...not usually here at this time of day...usually out of gas...

2:59 am

FMitch

I was going to comment on that Douglas as I haven't seen you in ages :)

3:00 am

Douglas

I recently had internet access restored, so I can be here at any time

3:00 am

Haz1558

I know, you disappeared off the radar for a while. Was it something we said?

3:01 am

FMitch

It was probably your fault Haz *grin*

3:02 am

Douglas

Heavens to betsy, no! The adapter on my laptop died, which meant my laptop died

3:02 am

Haz1558

No, technical difficulties are never my fault on the basis that I don't understand them. Has the laptop been repaired or replaced completely, Douglas?

3:03 am

FMitch

without an internet connection I would grind to a halt, considering I need it for work and for babble of course.

3:03 am

Douglas

The laptop is still dead, but I have a new desktop

3:05 am

FMitch

Glorious sunny morning here amazing considering it poured down all day yesterday.

3:05 am

Haz1558

I wouldn't grind to a halt, but I'd be rather put out. It's amazing how quickly you come to depend on technology.

3:05 am

Haz1558

Yes, it was still pretty damp when we left yesterday, landed home and it's dry but really cold again. I hope we miss out on the storms in Europe.

3:07 am

FMitch

yep cold here too, glad you had an uneventful flight back. So did enjoy the get togethe, am still smiling.

3:07 am

Haz1558

I know, it was perfect except for being so short.

3:08 am

Haz1558

And husband got to see the rugby on i player last night so he knows exactly what happened.

3:08 am

FMitch

like the 3 of us were ever going to run of of things to talk about!

3:08 am

Douglas

I've been hearing reports about a British Tea Party http://tinyurl.com/y9gspbj

3:09 am

Haz1558

A British tea party - without inviting us?

3:10 am

Douglas

It was Daniel Hannan's tea party - you'll have to take it up with him!

3:11 am

Douglas

Isn't he a MEP? Or should I say "Isn't he an MEP?"

3:12 am

Haz1558

That's the glorious thing about MEPs. Nobody knows who they are.

3:12 am

Haz1558

We elect them, they cost a fortune and you never see them from one election campaign until the other.

3:13 am

FMitch

so true

3:13 am

FMitch

ack, phone brb

3:14 am

Douglas

I've heard a really dishonest politician is one who won't stay bought

3:15 am

Haz1558

It's a sad state of affairs. But it's not new.

3:16 am

Douglas

We are the keepers of the sacred words NI, PENG, and NEEEEWONG (No PB for me, I know those words aren't in the dictionary)

3:18 am

Haz1558

Google's amazing.

3:20 am

Haz1558

Are you a member of this group, Douglas?

3:20 am

Douglas

No, but I probably should be...Facebook groups proliferate like mushrooms on a downed tree

3:21 am

FMitch

Just realised my icon is appropriate for today being the 1st of March and therefore St Davids Day

3:22 am

Haz1558

I haven't signed up to facebook so its workings remain something of a puzzle to me.

3:22 am

Haz1558

FM will now lead us in a rousing chorus of Men of Harlech.

3:22 am

FMitch

Tried FB for a couple of days but it was too much.

3:22 am

Douglas

I have just started using Facebook. I think I have all of 6 friends so far

3:23 am

Haz1558

Which will be followed by a throwing of daffodils and leeks and cries of Cwms and crwth forever!

3:23 am

FMitch

I will sing you the Welsh National Anthem in Wesh if you like :)

3:23 am

Haz1558

Oh! Yes, that will be a treat.

3:23 am

FMitch

There is a Babble group in FB somewhere Douglas

3:24 am

Haz1558

Didn't Ata say she had about 300 facebook friends? You've got a bit of catching up to do, Douglas.

3:25 am

Norma

Good morning babblers ....

3:25 am

Haz1558

Good morning, Norma.

3:26 am

FMitch

Morning Norma

3:26 am

Douglas

True...it's a little hard for me to get revved up about FB when I put more effort into Twitter

3:26 am

FMitch

Mae hen wlad fy nhadau yn annwyl i mi,
Gwlad beirdd a chantorion, enwogion o fri;
Ei gwrol ryfelwyr, gwladgarwyr tra mÃ¢d,
Dros ryddid collasant eu gwaed

3:26 am

Norma

Morning Haz and FM it is a beautiful morning the sun is shining and all is well with the world

3:26 am

FMitch

Chorus:
Gwlad, gwlad, pleidiol wyf i'm gwlad.
Tra mÃ´r yn fur i'r bur hoff bau,
O bydded i'r hen iaith barhau.

3:27 am

FMitch

and so forth :)

3:27 am

Haz1558

Stand well back, people, consonant overload! (Do we need to stand up, FM?)

3:27 am

Haz1558

It's a tad frosty and misty here, Norma, but otherwise things are good as well!

3:27 am

FMitch

LOL thats all folks.

It is a grand morning here too Norma

3:27 am

Haz1558

Was it the anthem that John Redwood manifestly didn't know?

3:28 am

Norma

You will get the sun soon Haz I am sending it to you by first class post lol

3:28 am

FMitch

Oh yes I think you are right Haz

3:28 am

Haz1558

Thank you, Norma, I will look out for it.

3:29 am

Douglas

Winter's icy grip is steadily loosening here in Minnesota

3:29 am

Haz1558

The silly man should just have stood and looked solemn, trying to mouth Welsh and sway patriotically was a mistake.

3:29 am

lynxxx

Good grief - FMs typing typo's haved reached an all time low. Hello all

3:29 am

FMitch

Haz I got some great pic on the camera but can't find the s/w (need to reinstall it) so I can upload the pics, am still hunting through boxes :(

3:29 am

Haz1558

Hello, lynxxx!

3:29 am

FMitch

*grin* Hello lynxxx!

3:30 am

Haz1558

Oh, I hope you find it, the frustration of having them sitting in the camera not able to get them out!

3:31 am

FMitch

I will get it sorted one way or 'tother

3:31 am

FMitch

Ata has put a pic as her icon.

3:32 am

Haz1558

Well, lynxxx, we survived the meet-up and I survived London. I was asleep within 10 minutes on the plane home. I must be getting old.

3:32 am

Haz1558

Oh, I must have a look!

3:32 am

Sally-catlover

Good morning all babblers. I need some help. There's something strange, bright and yellow in the sky. Could it be an alien?

3:33 am

Norma

Morning Sally .... can you see it also lol

3:33 am

lynxxx

Excellent Haz, what show did you end up seeing?

3:33 am

FMitch

you have it too Sally - it must be an invasion and Norma and I also see this bright light in a blue sky :)

3:33 am

lynxxx

hi Sally

3:33 am

Sally-catlover

Should I put on my tin foil hat yet?

3:33 am

Haz1558

We went to Les Miserables and it was fantastic!

3:34 am

FMitch

good idea Sally

3:34 am

Sally-catlover

Oh Haz, I saw that many years ago and also thought it fantastic.

3:34 am

lynxxx

What did your doctor say FM?

3:34 am

FMitch

HAven't been yet, to be honest am hobbling about a bit so haven't got my act together.

3:35 am

Haz1558

It had so many different elements running through it and it moved at such a fast pace so that the time seemed to fly in.

3:35 am

Norma

Les Mis is doing the rounds it is in Birmingham at the end of March and we are booked to see it for the eighth time lol

3:35 am

Sally-catlover

We could get to Birmingham quite easily. Will have a look.

3:35 am

Douglas

Thought that fo6 was too new a word to be in the dictionary. Thought wrong.

3:36 am

Haz1558

It's definitely the sort of show that you could see again and again.

3:36 am

Sally-catlover

Have done London shows in a day by getting early train, seeing a matinee and then train home!

3:37 am

Haz1558

We were mesmerised at how busy it was on a Friday evening - and the coach took us down Savile Row so we got to see all the fancy tailoring in the windows. Not much use for farm work, all the same.

3:37 am

Norma

We are going to see it on March 30th Sally

3:37 am

Sally-catlover

Have only just started, but if you mean the fo 6/27, it has two meanings, not just the colloquial one.

3:37 am

Sally-catlover

Which theatre is it on at Norma?

3:37 am

Douglas

I'm thinking of fo6/30

3:38 am

FMitch

HAd forgotten what London was like, I am definiately a country girl. The sheer wieght of people and traffic was incredible.

3:39 am

Sally-catlover

I love to visit my son and family in London, but very happy to be back in the country. People are so much in a hurry and generally much ruder in London than here.

3:39 am

Haz1558

You'd have been amazed at the crowds coming out of Twickenham, FM. The police control was very good and there was no animosity or anything, but the sheer weight of numbers would feel very intimidating if there was ever any trouble.

3:40 am

Norma

The Birmingham Hippodrome the web address is www.birminghamhippodrome.com you can book tickets and even see your seats

3:41 am

FMitch

Have been to Twickenham and ditto what you say Haz.

3:42 am

Sally-catlover

Thanks Norma. See it's on for a few weeks though haven't checked tickets yet. Wouldn't be able to do 30th March because it's grandson's 2nd birthday and I hope to be invited to eat cake and jelly.

3:42 am

Norma

Much more fun eating cake and jelly lol

3:42 am

Haz1558

Did I tell you that we were able to see Jeremy Guscott, John Inverdale, Keith Woods and Jonathan Davies doing their pieces to camera before the match? They were getting their make-up touched up.....

3:43 am

FMitch

oh you rugby convert you!

3:43 am

rubyfoo

hello again. Hi Sally

3:43 am

FMitch

Hi ruby

3:43 am

Norma

Morning ruby

3:43 am

Sally-catlover

Hi ruby.

3:43 am

Haz1558

It's all too technical for me, but it was exciting. Hello ruby.

3:44 am

Sally-catlover

My first husband was a rugby player and I went to Twickenham with him many times. Glad not to have to stand in the freezing cold any more!

3:45 am

Norma

Can anyone clue the di6 please ;o)

3:45 am

Haz1558

It's all seated now - except at moments of tension when you can't help getting up!

3:45 am

FMitch

can't help as have been too busy chatting and not finding words.

3:46 am

Norma

Lol FM

3:46 am

Douglas

I'd clue it if I had it, but I don't

3:46 am

Norma

Thanks Doug

3:46 am

rubyfoo

growing up in NY and spending many years in Miami and time in London and Paris, I can't handle big cities any more. I find them scary, especially since 9/11

3:47 am

rubyfoo

function of advancing age?

3:47 am

FMitch

oh ruby I was in Paris on 9/11 and on the way to the airport when the news started breaking.

3:47 am

lynxxx

di6 compound, put under water, & fish*** stockings

3:48 am

rubyfoo

how horrible! how did you feel about getting on a plane?

3:48 am

Norma

Thanks lynxxx

3:48 am

FMitch

numb

3:48 am

Sally-catlover

ty lynxxx

3:49 am

rubyfoo

various friends and family saw it "live" on television or even from rooftops and windows. So horrible, I can't get over it

3:49 am

Douglas

Good night, or morning, all

3:49 am

lynxxx

I think the whole world felt like that

3:49 am

rubyfoo

we were here, of course, and French friends started telephoning

3:49 am

lynxxx

bye Douglas

3:49 am

FMitch

Bye Douglas, nice to see you again.

3:49 am

rubyfoo

bye douglas

3:49 am

Haz1558

Bye Douglas.

3:50 am

Norma

I think 9/11 was like President Kennedy getting shot .. everyone in the world remembers where they were and what they were doing went it broke

3:50 am

Norma

Bye Douglas

3:50 am

rubyfoo

I have to go to London in May and am afraid to fly, don't know what I'll do.

3:50 am

rubyfoo

I'm already dreading it

3:51 am

Haz1558

I remember watching the footage of 9/11, feeling like many people that it was like watching an action film, and then feeling ashamed that people had been seeing that sort of thing as 'entertainment' for so long. It brings home the reality of the consequences of violence.

3:51 am

Haz1558

ruby, there's so much security nowadays that there's a very remote chance of anything going wrong.

3:51 am

FMitch

It will be fine ruby we all have to believe that otherwise none of us would ever go anywhere.

3:51 am

rubyfoo

I guess, and Geneva - London isn't such a big deal route - not so many Americans to be targeted

3:52 am

Norma

BBL must go and get some shopping done or we wont be eating for the rest of the week ... see you all later (poof)

3:52 am

Haz1558

Bye, Norma.

3:52 am

FMitch

and don't start dreading it now otherwise you will build it up into a much bigger thing than it really is.

3:52 am

rubyfoo

and I'll get to see my London relatives and my sister from NY. I'm trying to talk myself into it!

3:52 am

FMitch

TTFN Norma

3:53 am

FMitch

*wonders if I could give Norma my shopping list*

3:53 am

Sally-catlover

ruby, why don't you go by train? We went to Venice by train last year, all the way from Shropshire, and it was fantastic - and greener!

3:54 am

FMitch

much quicker to fly though

3:54 am

rubyfoo

we are 4+ hrs from Paris by train, then the trip to London. It would take a whole day each way, or else I would do that

3:54 am

Sally-catlover

No romance in flying these days!

3:54 am

rubyfoo

1 1/2 hr by plane

3:55 am

Haz1558

I know. Taking off your shoes is a bit of a nuisance but it has to be done.

3:55 am

rubyfoo

when I worked, I did a lot of flying, all over the world, and it was wonderful! But I retired in 2000

3:55 am

FMitch

there is very little romance left in any form of travel these days unfortunately.

3:55 am

Sally-catlover

Plus time to get to the airport, time to check in, time to get your baggage out, time to get to the city centre from the airport. People don't factor those times in.

3:56 am

rubyfoo

too many people, poorly dressed. I remember getting on my first jet in 1959 and wearing little white gloves!

3:56 am

Sally-catlover

lol ruby. Probably hats as well.

3:56 am

rubyfoo

and in my 40's, I thought nothing of flying to meet a friend for dinner

3:56 am

rubyfoo

yes, lol

3:57 am

FMitch

oh how the memories com flooding back!

3:57 am

rubyfoo

yes indeed!

3:58 am

FMitch

and oh how my typos haunt me :)

3:58 am

rubyfoo

I was between marriages for many years and it was grand!

3:58 am

Haz1558

Well, time for me to get started on some chores. (Memories.com sounds like a good name for a website - buy it up now, FM!)

3:59 am

rubyfoo

yes, and then we could all self-publish!

3:59 am

rubyfoo

and you could get the royalties, haz

3:59 am

8:28 am

Uneaixoise

8:30 am

Uneaixoise

the only owls I ever saw were at my grandmother's old house in Louisiana (when I was little)

8:30 am

dcseain

well, that was fleeting :)

8:30 am

rubyfoo

we have totally different birds here from what I knew in the US, so it's been good learning about them

8:30 am

8:31 am

dcseain

ruby, go where there are mimosa trees - hummingbirds and butterflies feed on them in droves

8:31 am

8:32 am

rubyfoo

I put in buddleia in the garden for the butterflies but I don't know if mimosa grow here. We have a rose of sharon, too. hmm. and the French word is collybri for hb. The good news is that the buddleia attract hawk moths!

8:44 am

Flask1

Hi Haz.....can I ask, had you all met before?

8:44 am

rubyfoo

I am so jealous!

8:44 am

hego

I think it would be strange to meet face to face fot the first time.

8:44 am

Haz1558

Hello Flask - I had met FM before, FM had met Ata before, but this was the first time for Ata to meet me.

8:44 am

rubyfoo

I listen to bad stories about people who meet on line looking for love! lol But for babblers, I think it would be wonderful

8:45 am

hego

A little unreal, kind of.

8:45 am

Haz1558

We had no trouble finding lots to talk about, that's for sure.

8:45 am

Flask1

Yes...Lilliann and I have met a few times too.....itis fun!

8:46 am

Haz1558

I'd spoken to Ata on the phone so knew what she sounded like, and had seen photos etc. It's still good to join up the dots, so to speak.

8:46 am

Flask1

Hi DC

8:47 am

Flask1

8:50 am

Flask1

oh well, thats nice.....but what a fabulous weekend for both of you!

8:51 am

Haz1558

I was on my feet and screaming by the end. We had a great view of Tommy Bowe heading towards the try line.

8:51 am

Flask1

Brilliant!!!!

8:52 am

Haz1558

It was a great weekend, goodness knows how much it cost the nice people who sent us (there were 68 in the party altogether!) but we really appreciated it.

8:52 am

Wonderful!!

8:57 am

dcseain

is pottied not the past tense of potty?

8:57 am

Haz1558

When did potty become a verb?

8:58 am

dcseain

:) how much time do you spend around small children?

8:58 am

dcseain

LOL

Oh, I'm enjoying it - just finding the words slow to come.

9:23 am

Flask1

lots of vowels...

9:27 am

Flask1

9:29 am

Sally-catlover

Don't have it yet Flask. *waits hopefully for someone else to clue it for Flask*

Oh good. More happy hours squandered

9:51 am

hey look, tiger woods' poor wife is in the grid

9:53 am

Haz1558

So is the place where she could get a quick divorce.

9:53 am

o-o

I did not realize she was destitute

9:53 am

hurshy

a theme puzzle!

9:53 am

Kaplan the Magne

But she is not a word so we are out of luck.

9:54 am

hurshy

all you people ever think about is whether it COUNTS... so mercenary ;)

9:55 am

Kaplan the Magne

Look, we're just in this thing for the points.

9:55 am

Haz1558

*Shock*

9:55 am

hurshy

well i'm in it for the pure love of words... even proper nouns! hence the game, name that proper noun!

9:56 am

Haz1558

The Egyptian river/singular Crane brother?

9:56 am

Uneaixoise

nile

9:56 am

which i thought would count in its capacity as a shade of green...

9:56 am

Sally-catlover

I'm in it for the cash prize.

9:57 am

Haz1558

We can't say di4/7 as usual, though.

9:57 am

Haz1558

Kaplan the Magne

Yeah- I checked.

9:57 am

Scraped from the memory banks, Une.

9:58 am

Uneaixoise

that still counts, haz LOL

9:58 am

Haz1558

Oh good, just as long as you don't expect a six part essay or anything. The name is about as far as I can go.

10:00 am

hurshy

haz, you wouldn't take away my di4/7's?! not really!

10:00 am

Sally-catlover

I really worry about your bra sometimes, Ata.

10:00 am

Haz1558

Hello floppy Ata.

10:01 am

crosshair

no,i meant the grid,not a babblers daily schedule une;))

10:01 am

Haz1558

I feel the lack of the di4/7, i4/7, di4/7 - kind of comforting to know that you've guessed correctly.

10:02 am

hurshy

interesting. i never thought to worry about her bra... just her excessive scientific knowledge.

10:02 am

EvaNadine

*YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWNS*
hello there, babblers...

10:03 am

Atalante

lol nor me. just my legs ability to hold me upright!

10:03 am

Sally-catlover

It's the floppiness that troubles me :-)

10:03 am

Haz1558

Hello, EvaN. You're the one to ask about underpinnings, you like showing yours, don't you?

10:03 am

lawyer-1

This conversation is getting a bit too risque for me

10:03 am

Sally-catlover

That's a lovely word, underpinnings.

10:04 am

EvaNadine

oh dear. what sort of inappropriate conversation did i sleepwalk into?

10:04 am

lawyer-1

is the opposite of underpinnings, overpinnings or underunpinnings?

10:04 am

FMitch

v funny Hursh! and greetings all.

10:04 am

hurshy

do you mean because of those pinup photos she took for her boyfriend? that was like 2 or 3 years ago, wasn't it?

10:04 am

Haz1558

I know, I'm fond of it - that's when foundation garments were made of steel and whalebone. None of this flopping about.

10:05 am

Atalante

FM!!

10:05 am

FMitch

Ata!!!

10:05 am

Haz1558

Exactly hurshy, she's never done having photos taken.

10:05 am

Haz1558

Hello FM!

10:05 am

Sally-catlover

You mean those things are out of fashion now? Shucks, must change the contents of my wardrobe.

10:05 am

FMitch

Hi Haz et al

10:05 am

Atalante

what did the dr say?

10:06 am

EvaNadine

gorsh -- i havent had photos done for almost a good solid year now! ;)

10:06 am

Haz1558

You've not turned camera shy on us?

10:06 am

EvaNadine

no, just busy. and poor. yknow, what with wedding-planning and all. ;)

10:06 am

FMitch

got an 8.30 appt in the morning.

10:06 am

crosshair

crossy keeps an eye out for long,curvy underpinnings:)

10:07 am

Haz1558

Imagine, FM meets Ata and me and she ends up having to go to the doctor.

10:07 am

Sally-catlover

Is this from when you fell down the stairs, FM?

10:07 am

Sally-catlover

Good luck with doc.

10:07 am

hurshy

there may not have been flopping about, but there was also less oxygen to the brain...

10:07 am

EvaNadine

but funnily enough, the photogrpaher we are most likely going to book for our wedding (thanks to an insanely amazing deal she is offering us) is one and the same who did my pirate-lass photos...

10:07 am

FMitch

fraid so sally

10:08 am

Atalante

we're a bad influence!

10:08 am

Haz1558

If the price is good, and you know her work already, EvaN, go for it!

10:09 am

FMitch

am sure that I will be told there is nothing that can be done and jus tto rest up - but want to get it checked out.

10:09 am

EvaNadine

theres "good," then theres "so insanely good its almost free" :)

10:09 am

Atalante

definitely

10:09 am

hurshy

speaking of weddings, i went dress shopping on ebay yesterday for something to wear to my uncle's. i bought 3... that way one of them is bound to work.

10:10 am

Haz1558

Can you send them back if they don't work, hurshy?

10:10 am

Haz1558

Or just resell them?

10:11 am

hurshy

i don't i can send back... two had measurements so i'm pretty sure those will fit, and the other one, well, if it doesn't fit i will probably just find a friend who it does fit and give it to them, as i only spent $10 on it (including shipping)

10:11 am

hurshy

*i don't think

10:11 am

hurshy

that's the beauty of shopping on ebay, three dresses for the price of one... or less than one...

10:11 am

FMitch

Ata how come you knew about the F&C shop in Barnham? HAve been dying to ask.

10:12 am

Atalante

I'm glad Spangle liked her present, Haz :)

10:12 am

hurshy

spangle got a present?

10:12 am

Atalante

from grandparents living very near Barnham for years and years! I used to get the train to there rather than Bognor when I went to visit them

10:13 am

Haz1558

Oh she did! The bone went down a treat, and she's had some of the other bits and pieces as well.

10:13 am

FMitch

Ah well there you go!

10:13 am

Haz1558

Yes, from Hobbit to Spangle via Ata.

10:14 am

hurshy

my sister's puppy hid the older dog's bone under her chest while chewing on her own bone, then pulled it out when she was done with hers. selfish, sneaky little pup

10:14 am

Atalante

I forgot to tell you, for fear that Mr Haz would faint, the crunchy hearts are holistic and organic, and made of 100% human edible food from a special dog bakery in London. LMAO!! They are normally Â£4.59 a pack *faints* but nice farm shop man gave me a pack to try. Would never have bought otherwise!!

10:14 am

CadFan

??? doilie is not a word???? Since when?

10:15 am

hurshy

since it's doily

10:15 am

Haz1558

Gosh, so I could eat them as well?

10:15 am

FMitch

good heavens, that equates to the amount I might of paid for meal worms for the Robin but refused to!

10:15 am

Sally-catlover

For one brief faint moment I read that as made from humans.

10:15 am

Atalante

yep! of course, I actually tried one. and it actually tasted quite nice!

10:16 am

FMitch

lol Sally

10:16 am

CadFan

acceptable spellings are doilie, doiley, and doily

10:16 am

hurshy

LOL sally

10:16 am

Sally-catlover

Well it did start 100% human ... :-)

10:17 am

Flask1

can anyone PLEASE clue me the last li4/4 word?

10:17 am

dcseain

10:17 am

Haz1558

It's the King of the jungle, Flask.

10:17 am

Jacula

Flask - king of the jungle

10:17 am

Atalante

I'm still quite bewildered that people will pay Â£4.59 for a SMALL pack of dog biscuits!

10:18 am

Flask1

yes DC, it is!!!........what a fool I am!!.thanx!

10:18 am

hurshy

the cat food i buy for my cats is all made from FDA approved-for-human-consumption ingredients, too. that is their regular diet. and it has a higher proportion of animal protein than most cat foods.

10:18 am

FMitch

Got very bad looks from the birds this morning as I used up the last 2 slices of bread last night for me - for cheese on toast. Ended up giving them bread sticks this morning - they were not happy.

10:18 am

lawyer-1

i'm still bewildered that people will eat dog food.

10:18 am

Flask1

thanx all, for the clue.....lolol

10:18 am

Haz1558

Ah, but it's holistic... and organic...

10:19 am

Atalante

bad FM!! not as evil looks as I am getting from Sily though. I removed her access to her scratching post (i.e the stair bannister!) and gave her an Authorised Scratching Post. She hates it

10:19 am

lawyer-1

and it gives u worms

10:19 am

hurshy

10:19 am

Sally-catlover

10:20 am

Jacula

Chicken stew is now ready for next stage of cooking. Must go again. Happy Babbling all.

10:20 am

hurshy

is that the one i clued before? take a d** in the water and don't get caught in a fishing n**?

10:20 am

hurshy

i thought the beauty of stew was that it only had one stage...

10:20 am

Haz1558

Toodle-oo, Jacula.

10:21 am

herekittykitty

yes! thank you..

10:22 am

dcseain

10:25 am

rubyfoo

my husband has decided that the birds don't like the less expensive brand of sunflower seeds and he's throwing away about 10 lbs.

10:25 am

hurshy

what??? just put it out on the ground, surely some unpicky animal will benefit from it.

10:25 am

Atalante

and do they?

10:25 am

rubyfoo

I make veal heart risotto for the dogs using brown rice, bouillon, cauliflower and leftover chicken. And their vet approves!

10:26 am

rubyfoo

I told him that and he saind no

10:26 am

hurshy

but what a waste!!!

10:26 am

rubyfoo

awful!

10:27 am

FMitch

Wasorry phone got in the way - Sally - they have 3 bird feeding stains in the garden, the bread is just a garnish AND I had already broken the ice on the bird bath - they are too spoilt!

10:27 am

rubyfoo

whatever risotto Max leaves, I put out for the birds, but he doesn't know

10:27 am

hurshy

can't you just scatter the seed while he's not looking? he's not going to gather it all up again just to throw it away...

10:27 am

rubyfoo

he meaning dh

10:27 am

rubyfoo

drives me crazy

10:28 am

FMitch

*stations not stains :(

10:28 am

Atalante

I am blissfully happy this week as husband has gone to Oxford for the week. yay!

10:28 am

Haz1558

Time for Spangle to have her afternoon walk, she wants me to come as well, so I'd better get my coat on.

10:28 am

rubyfoo

lucky you, ata!

10:28 am

FMitch

oh party at Atas then :)

10:28 am

Atalante

10:29 am

Haz1558

Will do, the sun is shining and everything! Byeee!

10:29 am

rubyfoo

I've started the HUGE spring project of grooming Ruby; I took out enough hair yesterday to knit a small dog!

10:29 am

FMitch

Am going to TTFN too for a while.

10:29 am

rubyfoo

bye haz

10:29 am

Atalante

you should knit a jumper with it!

10:30 am

FMitch

lol ruby

10:30 am

rubyfoo

it would be very pretty but somewhat stinky when it rains

10:30 am

Atalante

I have a book called "Knitting with Dog Hair". I'll have to see what they say about chow fur!

10:30 am

rubyfoo

I give both dogs beer yeast (can't think of the English) and it has made Ruby's coat incredible

10:31 am

rubyfoo

some of the hairs are 5 in long!

10:31 am

Atalante

brewer's yeast I guess

10:31 am

rubyfoo

aah, brewers' yeast

10:31 am

Uneaixoise

brewer's yeast -- i do too -- good stuff

10:31 am

rubyfoo

brain lapse

10:31 am

hurshy

wouldn't you be blissfully happier if you got to be the one who was in oxford for a week?

10:31 am

rubyfoo

I tried it for me, but it did nothing for my coat!

10:32 am

Uneaixoise

:-D

10:32 am

Atalante

what does it do for the coat?

10:32 am

Atalante

yes ... but I am here with Sily and Hobbit and sunshine and beaches!

10:32 am

Uneaixoise

makes it healthier, ata, AND helps keep fleas away

10:32 am

rubyfoo

makes it dense and shiny and healthy.

10:32 am

hurshy

:)

10:32 am

Uneaixoise

I give my pups daily chewable tablets that combine brewer's yeast and garlic

10:32 am

rubyfoo

I didn't know that about fleas. However, it doesn't prevent mange (see: Max)

10:33 am

rubyfoo

but he's getting better

10:33 am

Atalante

ooooo

10:33 am

Uneaixoise

well, no, it wouldn't prevent mange . . .

10:33 am

hurshy

i believe i dislike this grid.

10:33 am

rubyfoo

I wrap their meds in cream cheese, how bad is that?

10:33 am

Uneaixoise

ruby LOL!!!

10:34 am

Uneaixoise

we ALL prefer our meds with cream cheese! LOL

10:34 am

rubyfoo

I had one chow who would carry her meds around for 15 mins and then drop them in another room -- canny b***ch

10:34 am

hurshy

ugh, i don't

10:34 am

Atalante

I wrap Hobbit's in chicken paste

10:34 am

Uneaixoise

ruby, i had a springer who did that too -- slipped it under his lip till I wasn't looking :-)

10:34 am

rubyfoo

I would take Hobbit's meds if wrapped in chicken paste!

10:35 am

rururocks

we put ours in baby food (turkey)

10:35 am

Uneaixoise

all solutions sound like happy ones for the pups!

10:35 am

rubyfoo

dogs are too funny, especially the ones (like chows and maybe springers) who aren't noted for high IQ's.

10:35 am

Uneaixoise

:-D

10:35 am

rubyfoo

funny, I would probably like that, too

10:35 am

hurshy

as opposed to my cats, who when they have had to have meds, have just gotten them forced down their throats.

10:36 am

rururocks

cats with pills are another matter entirely

10:36 am

hurshy

and cats with pink bubblegum antibiotics stain things

10:36 am

rubyfoo

there was a joke online about that, how the cat would ultimately destroy the house but with dogs you could just wrap the pill in bacon and throw it up in the air!

10:36 am

Sally-catlover

Back. lol ruru. We have to give our cats pills and I am stocking up on the sticking plaster!

10:37 am

Uneaixoise

must get going -- helping at library this afternoon -- bye, all! *poof*

10:37 am

Atalante

cats = devils near tablets. they turn into twisty tuny-inside-out things

10:37 am

rubyfoo

but lovable ones!

10:37 am

rubyfoo

bye une

10:38 am

rubyfoo

so many of the icons are dogs and cats!

10:38 am

rururocks

My wife would come home from the vet and tell me: oh we have to give Ninja three pills a day for two weeks...I left for Hawaii the next day.

10:38 am

Sally-catlover

Sadly our cats only eat dried food, and turn up their noses at things like fish which I used to hide pills in for the previous cats.

10:38 am

rururocks

to tell me

10:38 am

Sally-catlover

lolol ruru!

10:38 am

rubyfoo

raofl, ruru

Atalante

ditto Silverclaw

10:38 am

rubyfoo

my husband, too, heads for the hills when something must be done

10:39 am

Sally-catlover

I thought you were going to say he heads for the hills when you are going to give him his pills.

10:39 am

rubyfoo

we go to a little restaurant in the village where the resident dog eats any kind of fish, squid included

10:39 am

10:42 am

rubyfoo

that's how I felt when somebody gave it to me!

10:42 am

hurshy

thank you sally and ruby

10:42 am

rubyfoo

which makes no sense, sally, but I used it anyway

10:43 am

Sally-catlover

You get to know babble words :-)

10:43 am

rubyfoo

10:45 am

Atalante

fa8 was my first word!

10:46 am

rururocks

mine too

10:46 am

lawyer-1

fa8 = fa6 + suffix - something to help you gain weight

10:46 am

rururocks

I am on a diet now

10:46 am

Sally-catlover

Alt spelling of doughnut :-)

10:47 am

12:10 pm

guernseygirl

Yes. when were you last there?

12:10 pm

FMitch

The pics Ata took of the island really sold it, it looks like a wonderful place to live if ready for a slower place of life

12:11 pm

guernseygirl

it is absolutely beautiful, but i don't think it's as happy a place to live as it used to be.

12:11 pm

Atalante

*thinks* last summer ... early June

12:11 pm

Atalante

I think you're probably right

12:12 pm

guernseygirl

Too much interference in the traditional ways of life, i'm afraid

12:13 pm

FMitch

such a shame

12:13 pm

Atalante

but it's still wonderful!

12:14 pm

guernseygirl

Yes. I am sad i can't get there any more, but i have a mobility problem and you really need to be fit to cope over there

12:14 pm

Atalante

yes, you really really do!

12:15 pm

guernseygirl

The walk up from the harbour finishes off a lot of people!

12:16 pm

Atalante

thank goodness for the tractor train!

12:16 pm

guernseygirl

Hear, hear

12:17 pm

Atalante

I charged around Sark with friend and 2 mad dogs. Is heaven for dogs too!

12:18 pm

guernseygirl

I don't know if it's still the same, but it used to be that only the Seigneur was allowed to have a bitch.

12:19 pm

FMitch

lol going to leave you two charging around, must finish some for stuff and then have early start in the morning. Happy Babbling.

12:19 pm

Atalante

still the same - at least an unneutered bitch

12:19 pm

Atalante

neutered bitches are allowed, and so are visitors unneutered bitches, for a short stay

12:19 pm

Atalante

bye dear!

12:20 pm

guernseygirl

Bye FMitch

12:20 pm

guernseygirl

It only needs a very short stay for the deed to be done!

12:21 pm

Atalante

yes! not sure if there are official length of stay limits!

12:21 pm

guernseygirl

This has been a lovely chat, but i need to go and do something about supper, for me and the cat.

crosshair

omg!! just came across this article about a teenage girl who thought texting that haiti relief number was a self generating charity thing and she did not realize that 10 dollars gets added to the cell bill each time it is dialed......she dialed it 1,888 times!

2:22 pm

Jellen

Wow, crossy!

2:22 pm

hego

sounds like a teenager

2:22 pm

crosshair

and the cell bill of course is in mommy and daddys name;/

2:23 pm

hego

poor things

2:24 pm

hego

Glad my kids are grown now.

2:24 pm

crosshair

i think that when those type of texts are made,there should be a prompt indicating the charge to the bill

2:25 pm

hego

good idea.

2:26 pm

Jellen

Well, her heart was in the right place...

2:26 pm

redturtlehead

sounds like a good time for her to get a summer job to pay that off!

2:27 pm

hego

I think she was sitting on it. No, wait. That would be her brain.

2:27 pm

crosshair

well ,if i were her mom and dad,id try getting her to canvass the town people door to door for haiti relief.if her and some friends can get 2 or 3 dollars per door

2:27 pm

redturtlehead

they were pretty clear in the advertisement that a charge owuld be added, I'd make her get a job.

2:28 pm

crosshair

she can then offset the bill a bit

2:28 pm

hego

another good idea. Crossy has his thinking cap on today.

2:28 pm

crosshair

yes,i am told the inital ad was clear on this

2:28 pm

redturtlehead

it really really was, and even when radio announcers promoted it they added that the 10 dollars would be added to their bill.

2:29 pm

redturtlehead

One would htink though that the phone company would wonder abotu that many calls.

2:30 pm

crosshair

they dont care,a while ago some 14 year old boy placed a bunch of those 1-900 calls.i hear he was into ma bell for 20 or 30 g,s

2:30 pm

redturtlehead

Well, I guess about the 1900 numbers....a 14 yr old is old enough to know better....

2:31 pm

redturtlehead

the charity thing, at least the gal wasnt doing anything pornographic, and YES, I think there is a difference...

2:31 pm

redturtlehead

one does not call a charity donation line normally 1 thousand times....

2:31 pm

redturtlehead

pornography, some people do!

2:31 pm

crosshair

ive heard bell reps say"i we are a phone company,we are not investigators that we should check into large call placements"

2:32 pm

redturtlehead

Ok, I must run, and that is probably also true cross....

2:32 pm

Jellen

See ya, red!

2:32 pm

crosshair

if i was a single guy,i would be telling bell to stick it where the sun dosent shine! just to cancel my da,s phone line when he went into a home,i had to dance through flaming hoops

2:33 pm

crosshair

tc red

2:33 pm

crosshair

i finally had to say to them,this is who i am,this is MY phone number,and im telling you that if you keep my dads old line active,you will NOT be paid!

2:34 pm

crosshair

and ill make sure to tell the new people to make lots of calls!

2:35 pm

Boobear

clue for the last 2 br pls

2:35 pm

crosshair

ok..im done venting about bell telephone

I only use my cell phone for emergencies -- I have it turned off and in my purse, and only a few people have the number, but today I got an e-bill with an extra charge of $9.10 for "browsing" and "premium messages". I called the company and it turns out I was being sent text messages by some spurious outfit in Pasadena and was being charged for them whether I opened them or not. I don't even know how to send messages on my phone! Anyway, a very nice techie talked me through stopping the messages and cancelling the browsing feature, plus cancelled the charge for all this.

3:00 pm

amelu0218

you were lucky you got a kind techie!

3:01 pm

Deeha

Frightening isnt it? That people can just leech money out of us without us even knowing

3:01 pm

jillibus

Apparently such outfits can pick up info from websites and use them -- I'm still baffled as to how they got my cell phone number, which I have never used online.

3:04 pm

crosshair

so, your phone must be on contract billing if you can keep your browser going all the time,and not pay as you go

3:04 pm

jillibus

And now, having passed that along, I have to go and get some lunch! Back later.

3:05 pm

jillibus

Crossy, I was unaware that I even had a browser. It's now turned off -- and yes, I have a contract called "Small talk" at a very low monthly rate.

3:06 pm

jillibus

But there was an extra charge of $1.10 for using the browser (which I didn't know was happening)

3:06 pm

crosshair

well ty for the warning.forwarned is forarmed

3:07 pm

jillibus

Yep! Ttfn!

4:07 pm

smooth_pappa

hey everyone!

4:07 pm

redturtlehead

Hi Smoothp

4:07 pm

dcseain

re8 - the factory re8 to make widgets instead of thingamajigs

4:08 pm

periwinkle

hello all, can cluie for a few minutes

4:08 pm

dcseain

hi, smooothp

4:08 pm

dcseain

ty, red

4:08 pm

redturtlehead

smooth, may I ask which types of Cameras/lenses you are using?

4:08 pm

periwinkle

hey there smooth_ papa, have not seen yoiu here in a long time. how are you?

4:08 pm

periwinkle

*clue* :)

4:08 pm

dcseain

that is not my photo - there is a link to original.

4:09 pm

dcseain

the snow photos are from an $80 all-in-one 12mPix from Walmart

4:09 pm

Jellen

Hi, smooth

4:09 pm

periwinkle

any clues needed?

4:09 pm

redturtlehead

DC, I was asking Smooth, his profile says he is a photographer, professionally.

4:10 pm

redturtlehead

peri, I need 47 clues exactly. What are they all...

4:10 pm

dcseain

to8 - add pot top/what you do when you eat out

4:10 pm

dcseain

my bad, red :">

4:10 pm

mkg

peri, some more 8s. i have only one: the fo.

4:10 pm

smooth_pappa

turtle, I use canon cameras. I'm actually using a pretty old one right now... a rebel xt. but lenses are where you want to spend money, in my opinion. I use a canon 28-105, a sigma 75-300, and a tamron 18-25

4:10 pm

periwinkle

you need to be more specific, red :)

4:10 pm

redturtlehead

LOL Peri!

4:10 pm

redturtlehead

its ok dc.

4:11 pm

periwinkle

fa8/55 builds on the fa6 to plump up

4:11 pm

smooth_pappa

the photography that really pays is product photography, and for that I mainly use the 28 - 105

4:11 pm

redturtlehead

Smooth, I am working with a Nikon D 70s, and a very nice 70-300 lens these days, but, there is SO much noise "in" the camera at times...

4:11 pm

redturtlehead

I have been thinking about getting the 28-105 to do something other than birds...

4:12 pm

redturtlehead

or something similar, but cant decide, new lens or tripod to reduce the noise, or...just get a new camera body.

4:12 pm

smooth_pappa

Yeah, I get noise in mine, especialy at higher ISOs. Again, though, working in a controlled studio envrionment, with good strobes, that's not really n issue for my work. it can be for outdoor twilight shots, though

4:12 pm

periwinkle

re8 is the past tense of the re6 before it. re+ what an ax or hammer are

4:12 pm

redturtlehead

but I dont expect to ever get paid. I just like to win the occasional prize.

4:12 pm

smooth_pappa

hey, those prizes are always nice. :) Any recognition is nice.

4:13 pm

periwinkle

mkg, did those clues help?

4:13 pm

redturtlehead

I have to be careful as so mnay just want people to enter so they can have the image as property!

4:14 pm

smooth_pappa

yea, in this open electronic age of sharing, you do have to be very careful about people taking images. A friend of mine happened to find his work being used by some blog in Thailand. TYhey just grabbed his images off of some site or forum, and decided to use them

4:14 pm

periwinkle

just stopped in for a bit, may be back later, bye for ow

4:14 pm

redturtlehead

I ask because I was recently at a shuttle launch and all the pros had Canons, and I was starting to think I went down the wrong road....

4:15 pm

dcseain

hasta, peri

4:15 pm

redturtlehead

sorry to jump in and quiz you, but this year I am tyring to take about 10 really great images...

4:15 pm

redturtlehead

So far, I have err, about 2.

4:16 pm

smooth_pappa

hehe... it's the eternal battle. I swear by canon, and will always reccomend them... but in all honesty, I know some very good photgraphers who feel just as strongly as Nikon. A shuttle lanch? That would be so cool to see and shoot!

4:16 pm

smooth_pappa

no worries! I don't mind offering advice where I can.

4:16 pm

redturtlehead

well, I live close to the space center.

4:16 pm

redturtlehead

the program is ending so if you ever want to photo a launch I recommend making plans soon.

4:17 pm

smooth_pappa

yeah, I know. I'm a big fan of space and aeronautics. That really bummed me out to hear.

4:17 pm

redturtlehead

I just changed my icon so I can showcase my cranes.

4:17 pm

dcseain

holy to6

4:18 pm

redturtlehead

Smooth, the Space center was really fn (for a day or so). They have a Huuuge clean room and let you go in and watch them work on the shuttle from behind glass...

4:18 pm

redturtlehead

TY DC

4:18 pm

smooth_pappa

that's so cool!

4:19 pm

redturtlehead

I was fascinated. The actual launch was less impressive than I actually imagined, but I prefer the birds to rockets.

4:20 pm

dcseain

there was a horned owl in the trees yesterday. sadly, no camera to be found

4:20 pm

redturtlehead

DC you have to take it with you!

4:20 pm

redturtlehead

Owls! special.

4:21 pm

dcseain

yes, but i could not find what Tom had done with the camera here in the house. it was in the trees outside the balcony

4:21 pm

dcseain

as in, i was watching it from my living room

4:21 pm

redturtlehead

I wonder if it will be back!

4:22 pm

dcseain

we'll see. snow made food scarce for a month, so mayhap it'll be back

4:22 pm

redturtlehead

wonders what owls eat when they cant hunt...

4:22 pm

redturtlehead

TY smooth btw for all that advice.

4:23 pm

dcseain

it got at least a chipmunk or squirrel yesterday - couldn't see which through the leaves on the ground

4:23 pm

smooth_pappa

no prob, red

4:23 pm

redturtlehead

I guess an owl hanging round a feeder can get a good meal...he heh

4:23 pm

dcseain

no feeder right here, but yes :)

4:24 pm

redturtlehead

Ok going to marinate scallops...on sale today, so its going to be a seafood week

i boil the perogies for 7 minuets,then pan fry them nice and crispy in 2 tbs of olive oil

5:50 pm

redturtlehead

but now that the sun has gone down our temp is going too and I am getting cranky.

5:51 pm

smooth_pappa

that's a great way to do them. If I don't fry them, I also like them baked, with justa brush of olive oil over them

last 3 years or so,ive started using olive oil in many of my dishes

5:53 pm

crosshair

a litre of high quality cold pressed extra virgin oil lasts a long time

5:53 pm

redturtlehead

I'm a delicate flower. my thermostat says its 7o but I think it is lying.

5:53 pm

smooth_pappa

if ou ever run across it, give grapeseed oil a try, too. it's also a really healthy one. and while I like the flavor of olive oil, sometimes it just doesn't go with what I want to eat. grapeseed oil has no flavor, and is so soft and light. I like using it now and then, too

5:54 pm

crosshair

ive yet to try grapeseed oil

5:54 pm

smooth_pappa

but yeah, olive oil is a staple in my kitchen, too

5:55 pm

redturtlehead

I have never tried grapeseed oil. I liek Olive.

5:55 pm

crosshair

does grapeseed oil have a hish smoking point?

5:55 pm

crosshair

high

5:56 pm

crosshair

does it fry well or is it more for cold dishes

5:56 pm

smooth_pappa

it does... well, a little hjigher than olive oil

5:57 pm

smooth_pappa

it is 420 f (maybe about 215 c??)

5:57 pm

crosshair

ive gotten into oriental stir frys lately

5:57 pm

smooth_pappa

ooh! those are fun to make!

5:57 pm

crosshair

and healthy!

5:57 pm

jillibus

peanut oil is recommended for stirfrying -- very high smoking point

5:58 pm

crosshair

peanut oil is a tad $$$$

5:58 pm

smooth_pappa

yeah, the smoke point is something I have trouble with when I use olive oil, and grapeseed too, soetimes. I Mean, for a light sautee, both are fine, but sometimes I realy want to put the heat on, and neither one of them can handle a super high heat that well.

5:59 pm

crosshair

yes,then we have to bite the bullet and get peanut oil

6:00 pm

jillibus

peanut oil lasts a long time and you don't need much

6:00 pm

crosshair

i buy a roast beef and a roast pork,precook them and slice it all thin and lean and portion it out in freezer bags,some veggies,some oil and soya and boom! a nice dinner

6:01 pm

crosshair

or a nice sweet and hot sauce

6:01 pm

smooth_pappa

freezer bags have got to be the greatest invention ever. ;)

6:01 pm

crosshair

indeed smooth

6:02 pm

crosshair

i use a straw and suck all the air out and seal it quick

6:02 pm

smooth_pappa

I neI go to work really early, and just don't have the time or energy to cook a breakfast... so I pre-make my own breakfast burritos, and throw them in a freezer bag. take a couple to work, and microwave them,... it's sucha great quick breakfast

6:02 pm

crosshair

very nice..take out breakfast will kill you lol

6:02 pm

smooth_pappa

sorry about the *nel* I thought I deleted it.

6:02 pm

smooth_pappa

yea. lol both yor wallet and arteries.

6:03 pm

jillibus

I do that straw thing too

6:03 pm

crosshair

yes,it works well jilli

6:03 pm

redturtlehead

*needs to use freezer bags more often. Can I admit that I generally go to the grocery twice weekly. I am tying to reduce.

6:04 pm

jillibus

flosey does a lot of freezing and has a vacuum thingy to use on the bags

6:04 pm

crosshair

in 5 minutes,i can do a stir fry for 8 people,just need to run to the store for sakie

6:05 pm

crosshair

lots of rice wine:))))

6:05 pm

jillibus

crossy, don't you need to cook some rice too?

6:05 pm

smooth_pappa

That's my thing red... I don't get to the grocery store nearly that often... so I'd be sunk without my freezer. lol

6:05 pm

crosshair

of course it goes with out saying..crossy LOVES rice

6:06 pm

redturtlehead

I think its my work schedule that allows it since I only owkr 3 times a week, thank goodness...its enough.

6:07 pm

crosshair

im trying to ease most of the junky prepared foods out of my diet:0

6:08 pm

crosshair

not easy

6:08 pm

redturtlehead

I am still a big fan of prepared soups. I just could never prepare all those different ones.

6:08 pm

crosshair

6:09 pm

6:09 pm

Hi Everybody. How are you all tonight?

6:09 pm

smooth_pappa

I made a great french onion soup last weekend. that's a favorite of mine.:)

6:09 pm

redturtlehead

Hi Nef, how are you? I am almost recovered from my last day at work.

6:10 pm

crosshair

ive always wanted to do a home made french obion soup for the mrs

6:10 pm

Nef

Hey, smooth! Haven't seen you around for years!

6:10 pm

smooth_pappa

hey nef!!! long time!

6:10 pm

smooth_pappa

yeah, it's been a while. ;)

6:10 pm

jillibus

I have a recipe for such an easy orange-asparagus bisque that I make and freeze it quite often

6:10 pm

smooth_pappa

how the heck are you?

6:10 pm

LuwandaHL

i know the straw conversation was a while ago, but my mom used to par boil corn, cut it off the cob. She would put it in a freezer bag and use a straw to suck out the air

6:10 pm

Nef

hi red; I'm gearing up for my week ahead. Was this your last day at the old job?

6:11 pm

Nef

I'm doing well; smooth. How about you? What's new?

6:11 pm

crosshair

indeed luw,the more air you can get out,the better

6:11 pm

redturtlehead

No, it was just yesterday was rather difficult.

6:11 pm

LuwandaHL

She did it with fresh green beans out of the garden. blanching them first

6:11 pm

redturtlehead

Hi Luwanda!

6:11 pm

redturtlehead

I got up today, walked the dog , drank a coffee, read a chapter of a book and fell right back asleep.

6:12 pm

LuwandaHL

hello everyone. it's been a long time. lots and lots of school work

6:12 pm

LuwandaHL

sounds wonderful red!!

6:12 pm

Nef

I can't imagine anyone sucking the air out of a freezer bag. We used to always just flatten it out all the way. DH has one of those vaccuum sealers now

6:13 pm

redturtlehead

I suppose, but I really like to enjoy my days off upright and awake.

6:13 pm

Nef

do you do 12 hour shifts, red?

6:14 pm

LuwandaHL

her frozen green beans were the best. especially when she cooked them with a little bit of fatback

6:14 pm

redturtlehead

I do. If I could be more organizsed and not lose papers things would be fine!

6:14 pm

smooth_pappa

oh man! where to begin? let's see... my job was pretty close to going under, but we sem to have pulled it up, So I'm still at the same place I was before, but I've gotten a couple of promotions in the mean time, so now I'm loving the pay, but never have a lack of things to keep me busy. lol I broke up with my fiancee (although, that may have happened before you last saw me) have ben dating a little, but so far nothing too serious.... but this new girl looks promising. :) Still photographing and cooking, new car (as of this last thursday)

6:14 pm

redturtlehead

I dont mind the twelve, but....

6:14 pm

redturtlehead

congrats on the new car smooth, what did you get?

6:15 pm

Nef

still in Madison too?

6:15 pm

LuwandaHL

new cars are fun!!

6:15 pm

smooth_pappa

I got a 2008 mazda6. Ok ok.. not a brand new car, but new to me, and still pretty new.:)

6:15 pm

redturtlehead

I like the Mazda six, I almost bought one, after my protoge gave up the ghost.

6:15 pm

redturtlehead

Ended up with a non recalled toyota.

6:15 pm

smooth_pappa

yup... still in madison, and still trying to travel when I can, but I don't have the time I used to

6:15 pm

LuwandaHL

if it wasn't your previously i consider it new

6:15 pm

Nef

We need a new car too; but right now it's just not going to happen

6:16 pm

smooth_pappa

a non-recalled toyota? lol

6:16 pm

Nef

No time? Does that mean you're busier than before?

6:17 pm

smooth_pappa

yeah, definitely! a lot of it just has to do with the new jobs that I have at work.

6:17 pm

redturtlehead

I called to see about repairs to my 2009 Prius, and because mine was made in Japan, it is not part of the recall, I was thrilled. My Car is good.

6:17 pm

smooth_pappa

we downsized about 2/3 of our staff over the last year and a half, so there is a lot of slack that needed to be picked up by the 18 of us left there.

6:18 pm

Nef

red, is it only the cars made in the US that are being recalled?

6:18 pm

Nef

Wow! More work and a promotion! Does that equal a raise or 2 also? :-)

6:18 pm

redturtlehead

apparently it was a problem in only the US manufactured ones.

6:19 pm

smooth_pappa

you bet it does! since I last talked to you, I've nearly doubled my pay

6:19 pm

smooth_pappa

of course I didn't start off vry high to begin with, but I can't complain now.;)

6:19 pm

Nef

that's interesting. Does that mean they dumbed down the production here or cut corners?

6:19 pm

redturtlehead

smooth, that is awesome. I want a payraise!!! especially if I am going to have to chase down paper all day long...

6:20 pm

smooth_pappa

and now, among other things, I am a staff photographer, so I am building a great portfolio for myself, too

6:20 pm

crosshair

im running a 2004 echo and i would buy another one in a hearbeat,other than one scheduled brake pad job and a single left tail light bulb,it has run flawlessly

6:21 pm

smooth_pappa

red, I tell you... it was a scary few moments... I actually was laid off but before my last day, I got re-hired by another department. I'm glad for the pay, but getting to that point definitely caused a gray hair or two.

6:21 pm

redturtlehead

Yes, so many people struggling now....I have to admit I am rather insulated.

6:21 pm

Nef

That's great news, smooth! :-D I had my first yearly evaluation about 2 weeks ago and was told they liked my work; but since I'm now working in the non-profit sector, I'll never get a raise

6:21 pm

jillibus

what is this company, smooth?

6:22 pm

smooth_pappa

are you still in healthcare, nef?

6:22 pm

redturtlehead

I am hoping for one in about 8 weeks. but...

LOLOL, red. Hi, smooth!

6:24 pm

I was here, and said hi, one day over the weekend, red.

6:24 pm

Nef

My profile gives my down and dirty info, smooth. I had a workplace injury to my foot and can't do hospital nursing anymore. But I now runa prenatal program in a pregnancy resource center and am loving it (except for the low pay)

6:24 pm

jillibus

thanks, smooth -- my son is a photographer too: http://davidevansphotography.com/ if you're interested in fine art photography

6:24 pm

6:24 pm

Hi jilli! And pam! Where have you been?

6:24 pm

Pam tell me how you are, I have not talked to you since Paris.

6:25 pm

smooth_pappa

thanks jili! I always like seeing others' work. and nef, that's quite a change! It's always a good thing to love your job, though

6:26 pm

Nef

red, hasn't your hospital gone to electronic charting yet?

6:26 pm

smooth_pappa

and crosshair, tell me about it! there are so many people vying for so few jobs!

6:26 pm

redturtlehead

only half way. the chart is electronic, the ED MAR is still on paper....

6:26 pm

pam

Truly, I am well! Without going into droning details, work has been really different since August. I am doing more, working more, and have less time to relax in my head. But now that i have adjusted, I am happy to be back here, where I belong!

6:26 pm

pam

Red, how is the new job?

6:26 pm

redturtlehead

I keep losing my MARS...and wasitng a lot of time trying to correct the chart days later.

6:27 pm

redturtlehead

It is good. People like me. Management likes me, MD's like me...

6:27 pm

redturtlehead

Did you hear about my lost car keys?

6:27 pm

Nef

WOW! Your MARS aren't computerized? That was one thing that went hospital wide right off the bat when my old hospital went electronic

6:27 pm

pam

YAY, red!

6:28 pm

Nef

do you work 12 hr days or nights, red?

6:28 pm

Nope. At my old hospital...we had just gone to an eMAR. and CPOE.

6:30 pm

6:31 pm

7:54 pm

Jacula

Every word in Enable IS a word, or once was, if you care to look further than the definition, or, if there is no definition and you have some knowledge of language, it is possible to find out what words mean.

7:54 pm

kenzie123

hey yell 10 year old is on

7:55 pm

kenzie123

8:02 pm

Nef

YAY, welki!!! WTG!!!

8:02 pm

welki

thanks

8:02 pm

Jacula

cjmomma - I hope you're in this game because you love words and what they mean, rather than being like some of those in the Scrabble championships who only look at the math(s) and the points and don't actually see the words or care what they mean.

8:02 pm

Jacula

Well done, welki.

8:03 pm

Jacula

No clues needed for me, welki - was done hours ago.

8:03 pm

gapeach

May I please have a clue for to7-32? Thanks

8:03 pm

welki

to + a jar top + not out

8:04 pm

welki

for the 8, add a vowel :)

8:04 pm

welki

i never know whether to give a definition or a "clue." i gave a definition before for a different word and got no reaction *lol*

8:05 pm

gapeach

Thanks a bunch, welki.

8:05 pm

welki

quite welcome, peach

8:05 pm

Jacula

to7/32 is a misspelling of a word for a type of oil used in the preparation of dyes, gap. To + consonant + 2-letter word for a lot of noise.

8:06 pm

Jacula

welki - definitions and/or clues depend on who's in the chog.

8:06 pm

gapeach

Thanks, Jacula.

8:06 pm

fuquayvarina

evening, all

8:06 pm

Jacula

Me? I generally just post what suits me at the time.

8:07 pm

Jacula

Hi fuquay.

8:07 pm

Nef

hi fuqu

8:08 pm

Jacula

y/w gap.

8:09 pm

welki

check this out, jac: http://www.lexic.us/definition-of/toli
din (says the 7/32 spelling has been used since the 1800s)

8:10 pm

welki

i have no idea "who" lexic.us is, or where they've done their research. just a curious tidbit :)

8:11 pm

fuquayvarina

help with bottom row P? have po6 x2 and po5

8:11 pm

Jacula

Can't see that link, Welki. but it doesn't surprise me that the word is older than you thought.

8:12 pm

welki

hells bells, i'm older than i thought!

8:13 pm

Jacula

po7/32 - double consonant in the middle version of moonshine.

8:13 pm

welki

po 7/32, add a middle consonant, po 5/12 is some kind of primate, but it sounds a whole lot like lo 5/10

8:13 pm

Nef

fuqu, po7/32

8:13 pm

fuquayvarina

thanks, jac. didn't think of that

8:14 pm

fuquayvarina

and welki and nef!

8:14 pm

fuquayvarina

thanks for the lo5 too!

8:14 pm

welki

8:15 pm

fuquayvarina

lol, yeah, got it

8:15 pm

welki

g'night folks

8:16 pm

Jacula

I've won the lo5 small time quite a lot in recent times, even picking up Â£120 on one occasion. Is this leadingup to a big win, I wonder?

8:17 pm

Jacula

'Night Welki.

8:18 pm

fuquayvarina

night welki

8:18 pm

Jacula

More noughts on the end of the winning bit would be nice.

8:20 pm

Jacula

Not sure about that British couple who won half of the 56 million jackpot on Euromillions a couple of weeks ago. Don't know why, but I see 'disaster' in their future.

8:21 pm

fuquayvarina

I suspect that kind of win does a lot of people more harm than good, jac

8:23 pm

Jacula

Me, too, fuqay. I think you need a certain mindset to deal with that kind of win, and I suspect the 'lucky couple' don't have that.

8:26 pm

rururocks

I could take the money off their hands and help them..

8:27 pm

Jacula

I was talking to my newsagent about this lottery winning stuff last week. I said that if we ever won big time, we'd tick the box for No Publicity. He told me that doing that renders you helplesss is family members speak about it., 'You can't tell your sid of the story and they'll get paid for telling lies'. He also said, that in a small village like ours, word will get around, agsain the story not told by you.

8:28 pm

Jacula

Was he asking for a payoff to not say the winners came from his shop?

8:30 pm

Jacula

He IS the youngest son of 5 from a Sikh family, one daugeter before him. He does tend to watch the pennies more than his two older brothers do.

8:32 pm

Jacula

Sorry for the bad spelling. It's late and I am tired.

8:37 pm

Jacula

Oh, well, I see everyone has gone, nobody needs clues and so it'stime I hit the hay. 'Night all.

8:38 pm
