2:20 am

lynxxx

You are still in Florida Pipping?

2:21 am

pippingeek

yup. last day of work is the 11th

2:22 am

pippingeek

12.5 hours today. but $300 kind of made up for it

2:24 am

Douglas

cha-ching!

2:24 am

lynxxx

Not meaning to be rude but is that good money? I sometimes hear how much US people make and wonder how they live - however it does seem food is very very cheap compared to here

2:26 am

Douglas

I seem to recall there's a difference between US$ and A$, but I forget the exchange rate

2:27 am

herinfernallady

Hi and very quickly Most of Melbourne is on Warrigal Rd or Bell Street. pita to get home

2:27 am

lynxxx

not much diff at the moment AUD1.00 buys USD.90

2:27 am

lynxxx

hi Infernal

2:28 am

pippingeek

well around here rents are on average about $700 monthly for a one bedroom

2:29 am

pippingeek

so if you figure it that way then $300 for one day is a pretty good haul

2:31 am

lynxxx

I'll say!

2:32 am

pippingeek

mmm, ramen noodles. i feel better

2:33 am

lynxxx

I don't rent anymore happily. Just checked one bed flats in this area $1700 pm seems avg!

2:33 am

pippingeek

the problem with my 12.5 hour day is i didn't get a chance to eat or sit down except for 2 10-minute breaks i carved out over the course of the day

2:38 am

lynxxx

you are still doing the rock climbing?

2:39 am

pippingeek

yes. going tomorrow, and hopefully will have a lunch date beforehand

2:39 am

Douglas

I'm enjoying making the noodles, sipping the broth, then eating the noodles with butter and other seasonings

2:41 am

lynxxx

2:41 am

diann

2:42 am

herinfernallady

Lynxx house up the road sold for $600 000 for a 2 bedroom unit

2:44 am

I think they need help

herinfernallady

opps sprite

2:48 am

sprite

a Van Dijck? Not sure, could be.

2:49 am

2:50 am

rubyfoo

I thought that spring was here.....NOT

2:51 am

herinfernallady

Wow

2:52 am

sprite

in dutch we have this rhymes, rubyfoo: maart roert zijn staart, april doet wat ie wil: march sweeps with its tail, april does what it will.

2:52 am

sprite

meaning you never know what the weather will be in those months.

2:52 am

rubyfoo

in US, March comes in like a lion, goes out like a lamb! Not here, evidently

2:53 am

rubyfoo

it's not terribly cold, but it's very depressing to see snow again

2:53 am

sprite

2:59 am

herinfernallady

YEs very lucky I probably would have had toast

3:03 am

sprite

darn there are many gerunds that won't work today.

3:04 am

herinfernallady

I haven't looked yet

3:04 am

sprite

it is the double N there. Keeps the G away from most gerunds. But not from all.

3:05 am

rubyfoo

half, yay, but this is a very hard grid compared to the last couple of days.....

3:06 am

sprite

50 left here and getting nearer to the wall, I think. So far an ok grid.

3:08 am

herinfernallady

3:17 am

rubyfoo

it's funny, which words are accepted by scrabble, but not here

3:17 am

lynxxx

a very well known wood here!

3:17 am

Haz1558

ja6 - looks like what you put jam in (but use a double helping of the consonant), then two letters of satisfaction or surprise.

3:18 am

rubyfoo

hi haz!

3:18 am

lynxxx

Good morning Haz

3:18 am

Haz1558

Yes, we had snow although it's now cleared. We had freak weather conditions with an ice storm that has knocked out electricity supplies for thousands.

3:18 am

rubyfoo

what a funny word!

3:18 am

rubyfoo

but ty haz

3:19 am

Haz1558

Thankfully the winds have settled down and we're left with icy hail.

3:19 am

rubyfoo

here it is hovering at about freezing, I'm hoping that the flowers don't get hurt

3:19 am

Kazzer99

jeed

3:19 am

sprite

we had the storm, but no ice buildup luckily. Last hiccough of winter?

3:19 am

lynxxx

ja6 is an aboriginal word

3:19 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, ruby. You were right that what we get weatherwise makes its way to you eventually.

3:19 am

Kazzer99

im off to the pb to refuel on some coffee obviously the brain has not woken up yet

3:20 am

herinfernallady

It is tree the JA

3:20 am

rubyfoo

3:20 am

sprite

3:20 am

rubyfoo

3:20 am

3:23 am

sprite

3:24 am

herinfernallady

yep

3:24 am

rubyfoo

I think Sprite needs summer the most!

3:24 am

sprite

rubyfoo

I have only one n, ni4/5!

3:27 am

rubyfoo

3:27 am

Haz1558

3:28 am

sprite

thanks Haz

3:28 am

Haz1558

You're welcome. New word to me.

3:28 am

sprite

3:29 am

rubyfoo

too hard for me!

3:29 am

Kazzer99

ta haz - just got it

3:29 am

Haz1558

Ruby, first three letters the same as the ni4 that you have, then three letters meaning to obtain.

3:30 am

Kazzer99

it means a fool

3:30 am

sprite

to play the fool, or fool. Also a black one of those tiny insects (?) is in one of the references.

3:30 am

rubyfoo

thank you,

3:30 am

Haz1558

So, a tiny fool would be a mi***** ni6/27?

3:30 am

rubyfoo

I'm writing it down!

3:31 am

Kazzer99

yea!

3:31 am

rubyfoo

sounds like it's describing me!

3:31 am

sprite

indeed Haz. Will remember!

3:32 am

rubyfoo

there are some lively phantoms: tasting, ingest, etc

3:32 am

sprite

in time we will all become able to call people such Babblishious names they won't even be offended.

3:32 am

rubyfoo

lovely (maybe lively, too)

3:32 am

rubyfoo

don't you clal me a nidget! lol

3:32 am

Haz1558

Oh Ruby! Straight to the PB...

3:32 am

sprite

baddddd rubyfoo. Off to the sin bin.

3:33 am

rubyfoo

oh no! talk about a ni****!

3:33 am

sprite

*wisely refrains from answering that one* ;)

3:33 am

herinfernallady

well that saves me from thinking

3:33 am

rubyfoo

I hope there's coffee!

3:33 am

rubyfoo

and cake!

3:34 am

rubyfoo

*blusking*

3:34 am

sprite

there is coffee, made by Kazzer. Which is good coffee. Don't know about cake. But I left pancakes.

3:34 am

rubyfoo

and I'll bring the maple syrup!

3:34 am

rubyfoo

and good French butter -- how bad is that

3:35 am

rubyfoo

a coffee klatsch for dummies (ni****s)

3:35 am

herinfernallady

mmm just had an idea pancakes bacon and maple syrup for breaky

3:35 am

sprite

hey, maple syrup is good!

3:36 am

sprite

yummy lady, can I come?

3:36 am

herinfernallady

THe real deal

3:36 am

rubyfoo

that's my favorite! I even found American pancake mix in Switzerland

3:36 am

rubyfoo

the bacon here isn't very good though

3:37 am

sprite

oh cool, rubyfoo. Oh I would kill for a true French croissant. The ones you can get early morning in a small french village.

3:37 am

rubyfoo

I don't know what the French do with the maple syrup

3:37 am

herinfernallady

I buy Jiffy mix or make my own I love my make my own

3:37 am

rubyfoo

we have great ones in our village

3:37 am

sprite

usually make my own. They are yummier.

3:37 am

rubyfoo

I make my own crepes, but never tried pancakes from scratch!

3:38 am

rubyfoo

crepes suzettes for company as my husband won't eat them

3:38 am

sprite

we have croissants here as well, but it is no comparison. Not the aroma, not the taste, not even the structure. Just the model.

3:38 am

herinfernallady

My mother told me I was very bad

3:38 am

rubyfoo

when my son as very small, crepes were the only way I could make him eat eggs!

3:39 am

Kazzer99

thank you all for the lovely clues - i have my fireworks - off for brekkie and coffee - see you all soon

3:39 am

Haz1558

Well done Kazzer!

3:39 am

sprite

wtg Kazz, and thanks for the coffee in the PB!

3:39 am

rubyfoo

fireworks! and I have 41 words left.....

3:39 am

rubyfoo

yay, kaz!

3:39 am

sprite

crepes are great. I always make very thin pancakes, don't like the thick ones.

3:39 am

herinfernallady

Enjoy Kaz

3:40 am

rubyfoo

I have a special small frying pan I only use for crepes

3:40 am

rubyfoo

with fresh orange juice, sugar and Grand Marnier, set on fire!

3:41 am

sprite

don't worry, rubyfoo, you haven't been playing this game for as long as we have.

3:41 am

Haz1558

Don't give your husband any more ideas of creative fire lighting, ruby.

3:41 am

rubyfoo

when the babble group comes here, I'll make a ton of them; they can even be made in advance with waxed paper between

3:41 am

rubyfoo

raofl!

3:41 am

sprite

or add enough of the explosive stuff and make a job of it?

3:41 am

Kazzer99

i have a lovely pancake pan - my fav but hubby wont let me eat them too often as they are not good if you are on a diet - but i got some good maple syrup from Asda the other day and i love it with bacon

3:42 am

sprite

is the diet still going well, Kazz? I read in your profile you have been doing it for quite a while.
I think you deserve a pancake day once a year!

3:43 am

rubyfoo

my husband wont eat sweets and he's as thin as he was when he got out of the army (WW2!!!)

3:44 am

herinfernallady

Ruby I make these: http://tinyurl.com/ye3g3u4 very very tasty

3:44 am

rubyfoo

he's really vain

3:44 am

sprite

he probably thinks this song is about him

3:44 am

herinfernallady

Kaz you can sugar free maple syrup

3:45 am

rubyfoo

with his apricot scarf!

3:45 am

herinfernallady

snort Sprite

3:45 am

Haz1558

Apricot scarves for men are in short supply in this town....

3:46 am

rubyfoo

I wrote down the website, heri

3:47 am

rubyfoo

vain is another phantom (but not in this house!)

3:47 am

Sally-catlover

lol Haz, I bet! And morning all. Just here for 10 minutes at the moment.

3:47 am

Haz1558

I remember being on holiday in Italy with husband, we were window shopping and marvelling at the fashions for men. He concluded, sadly,that while yellow trousers looked fine in the shops in Italy, they might look a bit out of place at home.

3:47 am

sprite

you must have tried viande several times too, rubyfoo. I know I did ;)

3:47 am

sprite

hi Sally

3:47 am

Haz1558

Good morning, Sally.

3:47 am

rubyfoo

hello sally! Are your teeth all better? Be careful, we're talking about maple syrup

3:48 am

sprite

unless they were rubber and went up to his chin, Haz

3:48 am

Sally-catlover

Now there's a surprise, you're all talking about food again.

3:48 am

Sally-catlover

Is that a new fashion statement sprite?

3:48 am

Haz1558

Absolutely, he spends his days swathed in green waterproofs.

3:48 am

herinfernallady

Ruby make damn tasty pancakes. Hi Sally

3:48 am

rubyfoo

funny, my husband and I have matching waders from our fly-fishing days!

3:48 am

sprite

hey I resent that. I am talking about rubber trousers :)

3:48 am

rubyfoo

and men's fashion

3:49 am

sprite

Sally: those are trousers to walk in water and stay relatively dry. Never went out of fashion here.

3:49 am

rubyfoo

better than a rubber room, which I'm about ready for

3:49 am

Sally-catlover

I thought rubber trousers were something you might need when you got very old :-)

3:49 am

rubyfoo

now my husband uses his waders to clean the fishpond

3:50 am

Sally-catlover

Only joking sprite. I knew what you meant really. I was writing in ironic font.

3:50 am

sprite

come on rubyfoo, those are good too. You can go bananas in there, have a ball, throw in a tantrum or two or five or 13, and nothing has to be replaced afterwards.

3:50 am

sprite

ah, missed the font, grin.

3:50 am

rubyfoo

once he slipped and they filled with water and he had to be lifted out (by the handyman, not me) or he would have drowned!

3:51 am

sprite

lol rubyfoo, love the image

3:51 am

Sally-catlover

I hope you had your camera ready ruby!

3:51 am

rubyfoo

and he broke the fountain part in the middle!

3:51 am

rubyfoo

not that he's accident-prone or anything, lol - ruefully!

3:51 am

sprite

big girl's diapers. Alas, no need to be old before one might need them. Am a Tena girl!

3:52 am

sprite

bad hubby. See, a rubber room would have been much easier.

3:52 am

rubyfoo

what's Tena?

3:52 am

sprite

and if either of you must go into a rubber room, you can borrow my rubber ducky.

3:53 am

sprite

diapers for big girls, rubyfoo. Tena Lady.

3:54 am

herinfernallady

Sprite saves the options of missing the end of a movie :D

3:54 am

rubyfoo

aha, I'll see if they have them in France!

3:54 am

sprite

lollllll

3:54 am

rubyfoo

is that what astronauts wear?

3:55 am

sprite

I seriously doubt it

3:55 am

Haz1558

Astronauts are solely chosen on their powers of bladder control.

3:55 am

Haz1558

Don't believe all this stuff about being clever etc.

3:55 am

sprite

mind over bladder

3:56 am

Haz1558

They make sure there are no running taps in space, that's for sure.

3:56 am

sprite

no talking about water at all too

3:57 am

sprite

*either

3:57 am

Sally-catlover

lol Haz. Reminds me of after child birth when I could not go, and they turned on all the taps. It worked!

3:58 am

Haz1558

I know! I wonder what part of the brain is involved in associating the noise with the desired effect on the bladder?

3:58 am

Sally-catlover

Which reminds me ... BRB

3:58 am

sprite

I don't know, but I know my children don't have it. I tried the running tap often but to no avail.

3:58 am

rubyfoo

stop talking about it! and no sneezing!

3:58 am

Haz1558

We know where you're goooooooooing.

3:59 am

sprite

I have been coughing pretty badly for the last 7 weeks. Have been using up the tena lady's in record time :)

3:59 am

rubyfoo

I hope there are no gents on here.....

4:00 am

Sally-catlover

Right, must just nip out to collect himself's pills. Be back in 10 minutes or so.

4:00 am

rubyfoo

my husband calls it geting the bill and the past due notice at the same time!

4:00 am

Haz1558

They're all away practising their bladder control so that they can be astronauts.

4:00 am

sprite

very apt

4:01 am

herinfernallady

sounds like time for kegel exercises and I am not explaining that

4:01 am

sprite

mummy, when I grow up I wanna be an astronaut!
Well darling, then here is where your training starts...

4:01 am

rubyfoo

did you read about that female astronaut who wore them when she was stalking the married guy a couple of years ago?

4:01 am

rubyfoo

they don't work, herin, at least for me!

4:01 am

sprite

fireflies. Must be off, thanks for the help and fun all.

4:02 am

herinfernallady

My friend pranked everyone today by saying he married his g.f Lots fell for it. I told his girl that why would you get married. Paper work is annoying and you both have the same last name so who cares (They are not related)

7:49 am

herinfernallady

Sixty is that your pup?

7:51 am

sixty7stang13

yes someone dumped her off here a few weeks ago. we named her lady she is sweet.

7:52 am

sixty7stang13

just made our brood large. now have 4 dogs and many cats. (all outside I live in the country)

7:52 am

herinfernallady

awww You going to keep her? she looks so sweet

7:53 am

herinfernallady

Looks like lab and shep in her

7:54 am

sixty7stang13

Yes I have never been able to turn away an animal. she came with a brother but cousin loved him and took him they visit from time to time.

7:54 am

herinfernallady

wwww cute

7:54 am

herinfernallady

how can people do that

7:55 am

herinfernallady

i mean dumpthe pups

7:55 am

sixty7stang13

I dont understand how people can do that. As far back as I can remember just about all the cats and dogs my family has had have been ones people drop off.

7:55 am

good morning everyone ... I slept in today for the first time in years

7:55 am

Good morning Merk

7:55 am

think about what people do to people ... sad

7:56 am

welki

hi merk

7:56 am

sixty7stang13

We nurse them back to health and try to find good home but if not we keep can not turn one away.

7:56 am

Merk

My son just 'adopted' a two month old pit bull and golden retriever cross. He has two children, four and six. Does the mother in me have to worry about that particular mix of breeds?

7:57 am

welki

depends on the dog, depends on your son ... could grow up to be a wonderful companion animal with proper training

7:58 am

sixty7stang13

No have had pit bull and rotwieler(spell?) both were great with my son when he was 3. as long as you teach dog and kids to play nice.

7:58 am

herinfernallady

No its called supervision of child and dog

7:59 am

herinfernallady

You never ever leave a dog with a child unattended.

7:59 am

welki

a lot of my work revolves around responsible pet ownership ... it's not usually "breed behavior," but "owner" behavior that contributes to the "bad dog" syndrome ... there is no "bad dog," only bad owners

7:59 am

herinfernallady

and don't start me on passive training of dogs

7:59 am

welki

<-- always takes the dog's side

8:00 am

Judi

Good morning, fellow bipeds.

8:00 am

herinfernallady

Hi Judi

8:00 am

sixty7stang13

It is the responsibility of the owner to watch over and teach always comes back to owner

8:00 am

welki

hi, judi *woof*

8:00 am

sixty7stang13

hi Judi

8:00 am

Merk

thanx for the input

8:01 am

welki

is it his first puppy, merk?

8:01 am

sixty7stang13

7 left think I might finish before going outside to work.

8:02 am

herinfernallady

Passive training of dogs doesn't work. I was watching this video of Cesar Millan and apparently he choked a dog into submision. in fact the dog was not trained and as soon as he bit Cesar Cesar pinned him on the ground with one hand and then let go and the dog layed there going hey I got told

8:02 am

Merk

No, they had a beagle and trained her well. But when they adopted their son, she was jealous and couldn't handle it no matter how they worked with her.

8:03 am

herinfernallady

That is because the beagle was there first.

8:03 am

Judi

Ceasar Milan is awesome. I just wonder if the pet owners realize how clueless they look on his show.

8:05 am

jmitch

the more people I meet, the better I like my dog.

8:05 am

herinfernallady

My friends dogs are both trained with techniques passive trainers say is terrible. Yep she tortures her dogs with imported specialty dog food, holistic care, walks training and love. Yep charge her with cruelity

8:05 am

welki

hmmm .. the puppy will grow large and strong. i guess if they had a hard time introducing their new son into the "pack," they might need some help learning how to train a much bigger dog

8:05 am

dogs respond best to a calm dominant pack leader.you cannot be lovey dovey,they cannot be your "babies" they are dogs,you are their leader.they will be happier and you will be happier

8:10 am

herinfernallady

I love my friends three dogs. One of them is so nasty she is a lap dog at her large size and I use as a pillow but I wouldn't go into her back yard if her mum wasn't home

8:16 am

herinfernallady

Hego he is 6ft 9 and a big pussy cat.

8:16 am

Judi

That might work, herin. Until the kid is about 12 or 13. Then your friend will just get sprayed with garlic and be subjected to the eteral eye roll.

8:16 am

hego

Big guys usually are.

8:16 am

hego

garlic Judi?

8:17 am

Judi

Keeps demons away, hego. So I'm told.

8:17 am

hego

AHHHHH!

8:18 am

herinfernallady

No see if this kid starts kicking up a stink as a toddler he can just hold kid at arms length no damage done.

8:19 am

herinfernallady

I also suggested we make up cards for the baby that allow the kid to sit on dads shoulders such as Registered Person Climber, Allowed to sit at heights

8:19 am

hego

It's going to be a big kid. Hope wife is a big woman.

8:22 am

9:21 am

hootowl

9:22 am

Riverdance

Hey Soodle - just getting back on and noticed your chat. I had the ST - I need the SA6 - thanks anyway

9:22 am

CiociaJudy

9:23 am

Riverdance

never mind - got it

9:23 am

hootowl

great. this has been happening ever since the so called "improvements". Think they don't like that we won't buy what we don't need!

9:24 am

hootowl

thanks for comeback

9:24 am

CiociaJudy

hope it's corrected soon hoot

9:25 am

Merk

clue for the second in 5 please

9:25 am

Riverdance

With the change over Comcast just made, I cant use my little drop down TV in the kitchen - drives me crazy

9:26 am

hootowl

9:26 am

Merk

nm

9:26 am

hawknoah

hints for the first two j's?

9:26 am

hootowl

Why mom?

9:27 am

Merk

I'm looking for them, too, Hawknoah

9:27 am

Riverdance

I guess it is not digital cable ready so will need a box - I am not going to pay for another box for that little TV that I only watch while cooking

9:28 am

hootowl

We are not digital and do not have a box. You should be getting most of the channels you had before. Did you talk to them?

9:28 am

hawknoah

specifically ja 6 and 7? Anyone? :)

9:29 am

hootowl

We are not digital and do not have a box. You should be getting most of the channels you had before. Did you talk to them?

9:29 am

Merk

It's the first three letters of the ja 4, double the ending consonant.

9:29 am

Merk

Then add a vowel and consonant to make 6, plural 7

9:29 am

hawknoah

thanks!

9:29 am

Merk

yw

9:30 am

Riverdance

We get the 10 local channels only with a cable direct plug in. Our other TV's all require a box now to convert them to digital. My husband did talk to them. Maybe this change over is in our area only - I dont know.

9:30 am

hawknoah

now on to the ni's

9:31 am

hootowl

gee and I thought they were only doing it here cause memphis is easy....

9:31 am

hawknoah

ni's are easy as it turns out

9:31 am

Riverdance

ni's are tough

9:31 am

hootowl

do have a modem but no box. Should only need that for the fancy stations

9:31 am

hawknoah

still need to find the ni 6/27

9:32 am

Merk

9:32 am

Riverdance

We have a DVR digital cable box on our bigger TV and a regular digital box in the kids playroom

9:32 am

Merk

Trifioso

oh, let's see, how to describe? Boston is having an animation convention this weekend, and Primo is going as his favorite character from Assassin's Creed, sort of a 14th C Italian mercenary

10:00 am

Trifioso

It's a huge project, and I am enjoying learning all sorts of new things, but I did need a break

10:00 am

CiociaJudy

still soggy in MA trif?

10:01 am

Trifioso

not quite as bad, judy thanks. We found an impossibly teeny baby turtle in the yard yesterday, and it was the cutest thing EVER

10:06 am

jmitch

my brain has absolutely failed at the upper left corner I. I've got nothin'

10:06 am

jmcnrick

it is beautiful here i walked from my house in friendship heights to the cathedral and back

10:07 am

CiociaJudy

in*** red

10:07 am

jmcnrick

in***ed camera shoots in the dark

10:07 am

bichon

I'm going out for a walk with bichon very soon

10:07 am

jmitch

as usual, as soon as I give up...i find one!

10:07 am

CiociaJudy

in + two vowels

10:08 am

CiociaJudy

in + other four letter tile and reverse last two letters of previous in5

10:08 am

CiociaJudy

I'm stll missing the fourth one

10:08 am

Trifioso

that's funny, JMC, I was just thinking about the cathedral this morning...comcast had a banner headline on the home page about how they are tearing down giants stadium, and are going to look for jimmy hoffa

10:08 am

jmitch

ciocia: that's the one I stumbled on a fraction of a second after I hit "enter"

10:08 am

Trifioso

it reminded me of the worker who asked to bury his wife in the cathedral, as she died during construction. The bishop, or whoever was in charge said no, so the builder had her cremated and mixed her in the cement

10:10 am

CiociaJudy

didn't know that trif

10:10 am

jmcnrick

hmmm guessing that is urban legend

10:10 am

Trifioso

I can't say. we went on the tour the first week the cathedral was formally opened, and the tour guide told us

10:11 am

jmitch

ciocia: plural the last clue you gave me

10:11 am

jmcnrick

i went on a tour of the Pension Building where the tour guide told us the shallow steps were because they had horses stabled on the second floor!

10:11 am

CiociaJudy

throw me a fish, mitch! Thx. DUH

10:11 am

Trifioso

that's cool!

10:12 am

jmcnrick

when it was really that the civil war pensioners needed the shallow steps so they could climb to the offices to get their benefits

10:13 am

Trifioso

oh, lol! well, either way, it's a good story, makes tourists happy, etc

10:13 am

Trifioso

who would take a tour to hear the guide say "nothing of import or interest ever occurred here. Enjoy your time in our city."

10:13 am

jmcnrick

point being you can't really trust what tour guide say

10:14 am

jmcnrick

well there are lots of interesting aspects of the cathedral such as it took nearly 100 years to complete

10:14 am

jmcnrick

most of the stone masons who work on it are imported from Ireland

10:15 am

jmcnrick

there is a piece of the moon in one of the stain glass windows

10:15 am

Trifioso

one thing I know that is true, is that on the outside there is one corner block decoration thingie that is uncarved, as the beloved carver died before he could finish the last one, so they left it like that in his honor

10:15 am

jmcnrick

cool i will go look for that next time i am there

10:16 am

jmcnrick

probably in august when the tourist are frightened off by the reputed heat

10:16 am

Trifioso

I want to say it's on the left side towards the garden, if you are looking on from the front, but I haven't been there in a long while

10:16 am

jmitch

when I was in the navy and giving ship tours we would "sneak" in some rather tall tales or absurdity from time-to-time

10:16 am

jmitch

sometimes just to see what folks would believe

10:16 am

Trifioso

why not?

10:17 am

jmcnrick

i am not surprised jmitch

10:17 am

Trifioso

"george washington slept here"

10:18 am

jmcnrick

okay i am more than 1/2 way through so i am going to go do some tax returns

10:18 am

jmcnrick

bbl

10:18 am

11:47 am

bichon

11:50 am

sciencegeek

lawyer - give me a clue for the ni 6 - the first one

11:51 am

sciencegeek

aaarghhhhh! aggravating day - I now have to teach two more classes until the end of the semester - marine bio and forensics - both of which I know nothing about!

11:51 am

Atalante

i'll teach the marine bio one for you!

11:52 am

sciencegeek

I am angry!

11:52 am

sciencegeek

Well, come on Ata!

11:52 am

Haz1558

Forensics? Easy - lots of torches, sprays and fast computer tests. And beautiful people.

11:52 am

sciencegeek

lol I think we should just watch Criminal Minds for the rest of the semester

11:52 am

sciencegeek

oh, and you forgot the cleavage!

11:53 am

Atalante

like teaching marine bio. Just waffle on about whales

11:53 am

sciencegeek

lol

11:53 am

Haz1558

ni6 - same structure as a word that refers to a very small person. First letters of ni4/5, then last three letters mean 'to obtain'.

11:54 am

sciencegeek

ty haz - what is that?

11:54 am

Haz1558

It's a word for a fool. So a vertically challenged fool would be a mi**** ni6/27.

11:54 am

sciencegeek

i need a clue for the first in 6

11:55 am

Haz1558

If he's opening a can of beer, he's a mi***** ni6/27 making use of wi***** technology.

11:55 am

sciencegeek

stop stop stop

11:55 am

Haz1558

in6 is a plural.

11:55 am

bichon

only one in 6, it's pl of the word before

11:55 am

sciencegeek

it is turning into something from Monty Python!

11:56 am

sciencegeek

of what

11:56 am

Haz1558

However, if the said vertically challenged one were a Miss B Jones, it would be even worse.

11:56 am

sciencegeek

you're right. I need the in 5! first one

11:57 am

bichon

it's a kind of light in*** red

11:57 am

12:17 pm

caitlyn

12:18 pm

FMitch

Well what would you do without me, eh?

12:19 pm

Haz1558

I don't know, FM, I really don't. Others might get offended at our teasing but you just keep coming back for more.

12:19 pm

Haz1558

Springbok!

Atalante

12:23 pm

Haz1558

Radio Leicester today, Radio 4 tomorrow.

12:23 pm

FMitch

and then the TV and the film rights.

12:24 pm

KatieMcG

I can't tell you how much I hate them, but on the bright side they did get my name right and pronounce it correctly :-)

12:24 pm

Haz1558

Was the interview about babble? Did you tell them about the brilliant people you know?

12:24 pm

KatieMcG

I want jennifer anison to play me just so she has to put on about 5 stone lol

12:25 pm

FMitch

Back in 2

12:25 pm

KatieMcG

unfortunately it wasn't one of his questions Haz, although I did try to get it in he was having none of it

12:25 pm

Haz1558

What a Philistine.

12:26 pm

Haz1558

Still, if you'd publicised it we might have been invaded by Radio Leicester listeners.

12:26 pm

KatieMcG

it was the first day of the new financial year so we did have quite a giddy day today and I managed to avoid the interview all day so I thought I had got away with it

12:26 pm

Atalante

imagine that!

12:27 pm

KatieMcG

If they are as nice as those at the consultation a couple of years ago I might have had to give up babble!

12:27 pm

Haz1558

Wash out your mouth, Katie.

12:27 pm

KatieMcG

it's not something I would do lightly

12:28 pm

Haz1558

Can we hear the interview online or anything? If not, what's the point of us paying our licence fees?

12:28 pm

KatieMcG

luckily it isn't hubby has just searched

12:28 pm

caitlyn

I had to finish the phone call to curtsy in front of our famous babbler!

12:29 pm

Atalante

brb got to escape fixative fumes for a minute!

12:29 pm

KatieMcG

12:30 pm

caitlyn

Oh Katie can I get up now my bones are creaking?

12:30 pm

KatieMcG

12:33 pm

FMitch

Hi ruby

12:33 pm

smaandmea

Hint for the ra8 please

12:33 pm

Haz1558

Your 22 lb is worthy of note as well, jillibus.

12:33 pm

rubyfoo

going through a narrow valley in a raft

12:33 pm

KatieMcG

it most certainly is Haz, well done jilli

12:34 pm

caitlyn

Just eating well Haz lots of salads, grilled meat and boiled pots etc

12:34 pm

jillibus

22 lbs = 1 stone 8 lbs

12:34 pm

12:36 pm

Haz1558

Cue new wardrobes?

12:37 pm

smaandmea

Got it!

12:37 pm

caitlyn

I was just going to say that Haz, I really havent got anything to wear now, and I hate shopping!

12:38 pm

Haz1558

ra8 - a gerund ending, first bit looks like either the start of a deep valley, or descriptive of people who are delirious.

12:38 pm

KatieMcG

that is why the internet was invented cait

12:38 pm

rubyfoo

my husband has been on the South Beach diet for more than 11 yrs, has lost a ton of weight, back to what he was when he got out of the army (WW2). However, it is not a diet that could be done withoiut a kitchen slave (me!).

12:38 pm

caitlyn

That is so true Katie

12:39 pm

caitlyn

That is brilliant ruby what is the South Beach diet ?

12:39 pm

KatieMcG

I am still the same weight and really have to do something about it but I took a decision early this year that I needed to keep sane and not worry too much about the weight until I had the job under control. I do admire people who can lose weight and stick to it

12:40 pm

rubyfoo

it starts out as no carbs and then winds upp as huge amounts of vegetables (I make him, e.g. a lunch salad with 4 oz of chicken and about 2 cups of raw, mixed veggies. I would die on that diet!

12:40 pm

Haz1558

Yes, it's keeping the weight off that becomes the real struggle, Katie.

12:40 pm

jillibus

I just cut out my nightly vodka (plain fizzy water instead), adding sugar to tea or coffee, and having half portions of whatever I like.

12:40 pm

KatieMcG

I'm not even getting to the first stage of losing it at the moment

12:40 pm

caitlyn

Katie we started in August last year, its not so much a diet just healthy living (apart from the Barcardi)

12:41 pm

rubyfoo

He lost the weight and put it back on twice, until I got the situation under control. His previous wives didn't give a da**.

12:41 pm

FMitch

Talking of food I really must go and get some, lovely to chat as ever. TTFN

12:41 pm

caitlyn

Bye FM see you soon

12:41 pm

rubyfoo

12:41 pm

jillibus

12:41 pm

KatieMcG

Bye FM tc

12:41 pm

Haz1558

Atalante

12:42 pm

Haz1558

Poor FM. She knows we love her really.

12:43 pm

rubyfoo

pronk pronk sounds like an animated feature!

12:43 pm

caitlyn

Ata I cant play TM again at the moment I cant get any maps up :(

12:44 pm

jillibus

cait, I'm really not minding the fizzy water substitute, accompanied by a handful of tamari almonds or something

12:44 pm

Atalante

it really is the term to describe the boks' boings!

12:44 pm

rubyfoo

without your nightly cheer it would definitely be cheerless!

12:44 pm

Atalante

awwww sadness! there are easter maps!

12:45 pm

caitlyn

I know I am half way through them, I have contacted the makers but no reply yet

12:45 pm

12:50 pm

Atalante

hi gg!

12:50 pm

Haz1558

12:50 pm

jillibus

I suppose you know lizsark?

12:50 pm

Haz1558

12:56 pm

Atalante

the ja's are so easy to clue if ppl watch Lost

12:57 pm

guernseygirl

I watched the first series, but gave up when they opened the trap door. it was all getting too complicated for my simple brain.

12:57 pm

guernseygirl

try me

12:57 pm

Atalante

do you remember Sayid's surname?

12:58 pm

guernseygirl

12:59 pm

guernseygirl

12:59 pm

Atalante

12:59 pm

Atalante

trying to think of another clue

12:59 pm

jillibus

I just googled it, so now I know...

12:59 pm

guernseygirl

and or ja7

12:59 pm

Atalante

ja7 is the plural

12:59 pm

guernseygirl

oh, clever jillibus. i'll do the same

1:00 pm

jessmom

jessmom

1:00 pm

jillibus

1:02 pm

jillibus

1:02 pm

guernseygirl

1:03 pm

jillibus

I have to go and get ready for a Luncheon

1:04 pm

Atalante

whereabouts on Guernsey do you come from, GG?

1:04 pm

guernseygirl

St Peter Port.

1:04 pm

Atalante

I love the harbour there

1:05 pm

guernseygirl

Down 20 steps from Clifton, or up 180 from Market Street

1:05 pm

Atalante

180 *faints*

1:05 pm

guernseygirl

We had a fantastic view over the harbour and other islands. i really miss it.

1:05 pm

guernseygirl

Apparently, my mum brought me up the steps once in my pram - and survived

1:06 pm

Atalante

wow!!!

1:06 pm

guernseygirl

she had terrible arthritis in her knees when she got old. i'm sure it was all the steps

1:07 pm

jillibus

gg, does the name Saumerez mean anything to you, or do I have the wrong island?

1:07 pm

Atalante

I bet! there's Hills there!

1:08 pm

guernseygirl

Yes. Clifton, where i lived led off Saumarez Street, and the Saumarez are a very old family. Admiral de Saumarez was very famous in the 18/19th century

1:09 pm

Atalante

I love Torteval *random*

1:09 pm

jillibus

L. Col. Hon John Saumerez is in my late hubby's family tree

1:10 pm

guernseygirl

Well i never! does he have relatives in Guernsey?

1:10 pm

guernseygirl

Yes, Torteval's great - especially the cliff walks in spring.

1:11 pm

jillibus

not that I know of -- the Saumerez married a Rhodes girl, an aunt of my m-i-law who was a Rhodes.

1:11 pm

Atalante

I really want to get back to Sark. And I'd love to go to Alderney, and spend more time on Guernsey

1:12 pm

guernseygirl

You must do all three. i'm hoping to go over to Guernsey at the end of May.

1:12 pm

Atalante

lovely time of year!

1:12 pm

jillibus

so if they had offspring, I suppose I could say yes, there are relatives on Guernsey

1:12 pm

guernseygirl

That's why.

1:13 pm

jillibus

I really must go now!

1:13 pm

jillibus

ttfn

1:13 pm

Atalante

I just hate leaving the dog in the car on the ferry

1:13 pm

guernseygirl

nice talking to you jilli

1:14 pm

guernseygirl

i really ought to go and make my chicken curry.

1:14 pm

Atalante

Nef

Hi, NB! How are you today?

4:26 pm

Nancy Boy

not too bad thanks, Nef, not too bad at all! A little hungover so we're sitting in with a stack of DVDs tonight. I feel a bit ashamed that the subtitled foreign ones have been hidden underneath the sofa, and we're watching Mean Girls instead ;)

4:26 pm

Nancy Boy

4:27 pm

Nef

I'm fine. Enjoying the marvelous weather today. Our thermometer says it's 80 (F) (? 27 C?) right now

4:31 pm

flosey

hey, I totally understand that - but you are too young to have that problem!

4:31 pm

Nancy Boy

I'd be fine with a snow storm...I like dramatic weather, but at the moments it's just cold and windy! not fun at all :)

4:31 pm

4:32 pm

Nef

4:51 pm

5:14 pm

Mom

and yes, she could hurt them couldn't she

5:15 pm

Nef

she could. Roller derby isn't so much the fights (this is flat track derby too); but there are times it does get physical out there

5:16 pm

Mom

I didn't think roller derby was around any more

5:17 pm

Nef

there's been a resurgence in recent years

5:18 pm

Mom

I will have to say the skill of the players are excellent

Here is my story of clues to ca4/5r to those who are not finished.It's very expensive to own ca4/5.I have shed so many te5/10 over my car beause I've had to pay a lot of ca4/6 for my car lately.Think some black ca 4/5 ca 4/5ed a spell has been ca 4/5 on my car. I have a good car though. It is a Subaru. Car has been ra5/12 pretty highly. However,I was in a car cr5/14 a couple of years ago when I hit a ha 4/5. Ever since then, my car has always had a di4/7. I ea4/4 hear it every time I drive the car.I'm always on ed4/7 when I drive because I think that it's going to break down It has a gi 5/14 di 4/5 in it from a fender bender last year.I made a ra4/5 decision and used my insurance check for bills. I was a ni6/27 to not get it fixed. My car is also quite di 5/16 and it looks like it belongs in the tr 5/12. I think my car is sc 4/5ed for life. Oh ra 4/4! Look at the time. I got to ra 4/5 on outta here before hubby gets home. I will be back later to enter last word I am sa 5/16g for later.

If jillibus is still here, yes that was an April Fool's joke

6:55 pm

gremlinn

The best time for April Fool's jokes is several months afterward, when no one will suspect

6:56 pm

gremlinn

Contrarywise, the best time to spring horrible news on someone is today, when they'll think you're kidding at first - that will soften the blow

LB - 6 weeks with de-humidifers, minimum.

Red - I had the tv volume up on 45 rather than 17-20. Must've been blasting everyone out of the room. It isn't nice being 'deaf'.

7:53 pm

redturtlehead

I had it for one day and I have to say it made work very difficult, as I have a tiny bit of hearing loss as it is (and I do mean tiny.)

7:55 pm

Jacula

My late Dad was totally deaf in one ear and had 33% hearing in the other. I know know how he felt in a crowded room, trying to work out what was being said, who was saying what, and where sounds were coming from.

I used to have a lot of ear infections and hearing problems. At one point I was working but nearly deaf in the one ear, they put me on as the charge nurse of the unit that weekend. I got an obscene phone call, but didn't understand wht the guy was saying until he was yelling at me and i'd switched the phone to the other ear. He really didn't get his jollies that day

We had a Bomb threat at work the other day, and the way we found out was the EMS guys called and asked if we could still accept patients given our situation....a little odd.

8:00 pm

Nef

Yep, red, that's what happened. I kept saying "I'm sorry, what did you say? I can't hear you over the noise of the unit!"

8:00 pm

Jacula

I don't have time to get into this one...good night

8:02 pm

redturtlehead

I really do wonder.

8:03 pm

Jacula

'Noise of the unit' has given me far more fuel for the imagined half-deaf convo, Nef. LOL

8:03 pm

Nef

we had a bomb threat that was for real once. A guy brought a live grenade into the hospital and pulled the pin in a patients' room. He wanted drugs; and they rolled morphine syringes under the door. This was right above my unit, he had to put the pin back in the grenade to use the morphine

8:03 pm

Jacula

Kaplan - Okay. Well, hi and 'bye then.

8:03 pm

Boobear

not getting the second in 5 clue

8:04 pm

9:36 pm

herinfernallady

Honey flavoured Cheerios

9:37 pm

JessasMom

wow, never heard of them, must not be in the usa

9:37 pm

JessasMom

oh, I read that as "cheetos", not cheerios! LOL

9:37 pm

JessasMom

I was thinking honey and cheetos really doesn't mix

9:38 pm

herinfernallady

Yes they are USA cereal. Just trying to find the right name

9:38 pm

JessasMom

yeah, i misread....we have honey nut cheerios, yummy

9:39 pm

JessasMom

9:39 pm

opps they are Honey Nut. I got them from teh USA food store

9:39 pm

JessasMom

9:39 pm

JessasMom

9:39 pm

herinfernallady

They cost a small fortune

9:40 pm

JessasMom

you actually have a store that sells only usa food?

9:40 pm

herinfernallady

Yes. www.usafoods.com.au

9:40 pm

herinfernallady

The store is close to my house

9:42 pm

JessasMom

how really weird...we don't have an Australian store, lol

9:42 pm

JessasMom

then again, not too sure how well vegamite would sell here.....

9:44 pm

herinfernallady

There is a lot of USA visitors that miss their fix. I am saddened that you guys have TimTam cookies that are not even close to our Tim Tam Biscuits

9:45 pm

JessasMom

i worked with a girl who was from australia once and she really missed all her favorite foods. she used to visit home and come back with suitcases full of stuff, including the vegamite, which I never really understood...

9:45 pm

herinfernallady

awww cute

9:46 pm

JessasMom

and she did have lots of cookies she'd bring back, too. said ours weren't quite right! LOL

9:46 pm

herinfernallady

I also bought Ranch flavoured Dorretos.

9:47 pm

JessasMom

those are my daughter's favorite

9:47 pm

herinfernallady

Yep I think the USA ''cookies'''of our tim tam biscuits look more graham cracker style base

9:49 pm

herinfernallady

You should here my rant when stores say ANZAC Cookies instead of biscuits

9:49 pm

herinfernallady

(pardon my spelling)

9:49 pm

JessasMom

yes our "biscuit" is a totally different thing than your 'biscuit'

9:50 pm

JessasMom

down to 2, both ni

9:50 pm

herinfernallady

Your Biscuit is bread is it not? BUt still calling ANZAC Biscuits cookies is very very wrong.

9:50 pm

JessasMom

yeah, it's more like bread, but dryer, not sweet at all

9:51 pm

herinfernallady

Like Corn bread?

9:51 pm

herinfernallady

what I mean is would you call Corn Bread Corn Biscuits?

9:51 pm

JessasMom

don't know ANZAC biscuits...I'll have to google it

9:52 pm

pippingeek

i don't think cornbread would count as biscuits - it is almost cakey in texture, just dense

9:52 pm

herinfernallady

Ok

9:52 pm

jmcnrick

biscuits are closer to rolls than that

9:52 pm

jmcnrick

hi all

9:52 pm

pippingeek

biscuits are more a flay pastry, similar to croissants but done in a big sheet of layers that then are cute into fat round bits

9:53 pm

pippingeek

flay=flaky

9:53 pm

jmcnrick

crescents are a close second

9:53 pm

LOL I googled Anzac Biscuit too

9:53 pm

9:54 pm

9:54 pm

CadFan

Biscuit in america - like a scone - but not sweet

9:55 pm

herinfernallady

Thanks

9:55 pm

JessasMom

interesting write up on ANZAC biscuits on Wiki, lol, popular during the war

9:55 pm

CadFan

I have to say - reading a recipe for an Anzac Biscuit - that sounds like a great cookie!

9:55 pm

JessasMom

also sounds like they might last forever

9:56 pm

CadFan

Yes - no preservatives needed!

9:56 pm

herinfernallady

Yes. They were made out of minimal goods and lasted well so the solders could get a taste of home. And they are fairly ok

9:56 pm

jillibus

CadFan - what is your icon? Doesn't look like your foot.

9:58 pm

might be a good idea to post the explanation, cad!

9:58 pm

JessasMom

well, Wiki doesn't call it a cookie, but does call it hard tack

9:59 pm

jillibus

27 to go here

9:59 pm

herinfernallady

Jessa you get a few places like cafes here that call it a cookie. I get very snarrly about it

9:59 pm

herinfernallady

Jill are all your internet problems sorted?

10:01 pm

JessasMom

ok, wiki says: The term ANZAC is protected under Australian law[6] and therefore the word should not be used without permission from the Minister for Veterans' Affairs ---- so, we have to stop talking about it, or get permission, lol

10:01 pm

jillibus

I hope so, herin! It was an IP address conflict because of a switch in broadbands and that's all I know!

10:01 pm

herinfernallady

No you can't use specific words in Advertising or in Companies LIke ANZAC (ie. ANZAC holidays, without approval )
