flosey

could be surgery west - he asked me a couple of years ago if I thought it was time - I expected him to tell me that is WAS time

1:00 am

flosey

1:00 am

westford

yes it does b

1:00 am

westford

1:00 am

rururocks

think I better go to bed..

1:00 am

westford

1:01 am

rururocks

1:01 am

flosey

several friends have had it done recently

1:01 am

westford

still it was a great clue

1:01 am

flosey

I didn't get it either ru

1:01 am

westford

the eye doctor here is Koch and the practice is Koch Eye

1:01 am

rururocks

westie has more range than us flosey

1:02 am

flosey

yup, she's pretty good!

1:02 am

westford

I didn't get it I just thought it was a great clue lol

1:02 am

flosey

lol west

1:02 am

westford

I didn't get the ex9 either

1:03 am

rururocks

wouldn't it be Koch-eyed?

1:03 am

flosey

I got that one early - continuation of ex7

1:03 am

westford

thanks flosey that may help

1:03 am

rururocks

I have ex 6/39.. but nothing larger than that

1:04 am

flosey

add a cons to ex6

1:04 am

flosey

third letter

1:04 am

flosey

sorry 5th letter

1:05 am

joshuavorbis

think of old old books, ruru - co*** alimentarius, co*** vaticanus, co*** alexandrinus, etc

1:05 am

joshuavorbis

now spell it with a drawwwwwl and PL it

1:08 am

rururocks

I think my brain has shut down.. I am not connecting the dots

1:08 am

westford

too many twinkie thoughts

1:09 am

joshuavorbis

funny, the co*** is literally "block of wood" in latin

1:10 am

joshuavorbis

it is the word for first books that were made as we understand them now, with separate pages and a bound cover

1:11 am

joshuavorbis

btw co*** is not actually a word to be found in today's grid

1:11 am

westford

I just googled latin for block of wood and got percussion

1:11 am

westford

I think I will give up now

1:12 am

rururocks

thanks josh.. I am too dense and too tired I think

1:12 am

rururocks

see you all tomorrow...congrats mp and josh.

1:12 am

joshuavorbis

night ruru, go get 'em tomorrow

1:12 am

westford

good night ruru and good night from me as well

1:13 am

joshuavorbis

think of computer language + x as the latin word

1:13 am

rururocks

nite westie

1:13 am

joshuavorbis

the drawling misspelling as the ca6

1:13 am

rururocks

I have that..but not the drawl

1:13 am

joshuavorbis

2 vowels instead of 1

1:14 am

rururocks

Poof

1:16 am

Douglas

1:34 am

flosey

1:34 am

bookwomen

ex 7/9 a portion of something like a book

1:35 am

jaeleigh

okay, I need a clue for ex9- yes , I have the 7

1:35 am

bookwomen

add an either extension to 7

1:35 am

flosey

the 9 is a continuation - perhaps the person who ex7s

1:39 am

jaeleigh

got it- one who ex7's

1:41 am

flosey

good jae

1:58 am

rolin

oooh you know how you get stuck on one one... i couldnt get passed 'extract' as a part of a book

3:02 am

lynxxx

no going above your limit!

3:02 am

sandyloo

it's by a West Aussie artist who does lovely paintings of Broome (where daughter Diana lives) every now and then she puts one on ebay and they are about one third of the cost in the gallery

3:02 am

sprite

3:03 am

lynxxx

3:05 am

sandyloo

I have been to the gallery so I know I can get a bargain (maybe)

3:06 am

sprite

oh I see a beautiful one of the sea, great colours.

3:06 am

sandyloo

one of my dear friends has been diagnosed with cancer and I gave her all she needed to start painting for her birthday and it has really been great for her

3:07 am

sandyloo

I'm bidding on the one that ends in 1.5 hours but I never bid til the end

3:08 am

sprite

what a beautiful gift, sandy

3:08 am

sprite

oh I like her trees as well. Good luck with the bidding, I hope you will get it.

3:09 am

sandyloo

You know it really was! Another girlfriend of mine paid for me to do an art course for my birthday last year and I guess I'm just paying it forward

3:09 am

lynxxx

my internet has maxed out, I am sure her site will come up soon

3:09 am

sandyloo

3:10 am

sprite

sandyloo

3:13 am

sprite

lol silly sandy! No not yet, only halfway and having fun.
And yes, again feeling a little bit better. Hurt my ribs with the vehement coughing though, that is a bummer. I hope the coughing really stops now.

3:13 am

sandyloo

I love the colours in her paintings

3:14 am

sprite

yes, they are lovely. I like that see of Living Harmony. And the trees too.

3:16 am

sprite

lyn would never do that

3:16 am

sandyloo

LOL

3:16 am

3:16 am

sprite

sprite

3:17 am

caitlyn

I am sitting here surrounded by boxes with 2 men ripping out my kitchen

3:17 am

sprite

oh dear, caitlyn, that is quite hectic. How are you holding up?

3:17 am

sandyloo

lucky you eventually cait, but no so lucky for a while

3:18 am

caitlyn

I think I may go out soon LOL

3:18 am

sprite

lol I would!

3:19 am

sandyloo

uh oh it will be time for that show that Nikki watches soon (the B and the B)

3:19 am

sandyloo

I REALLY hate that show

3:19 am

sprite

come on sandy, stop pretending.

3:19 am

caitlyn

Is it a comedy?

3:20 am

sprite

it is a soap

3:20 am

sprite

and sandy is really really afraid we will find out how much she is addicted to it

3:20 am

sprite

so she blames nikki

3:21 am

caitlyn

LOL

3:21 am

sandyloo

LOL cait, it is an american soap (the bold and the beautiful) maybe not a true reflection

3:22 am

caitlyn

I havent heard of that one although I am sure I can find it on Sky

3:22 am

sprite

yay, 2 7s!

3:22 am

sandyloo

Sprite!!! I do not and I am not! She could be watching my DVD's of Startrek - a true reflection of life in the future

3:22 am

sprite

it is apretty old one. I know, because it is old even in the netherlands.

3:22 am

sandyloo

Cait, don't bother

3:22 am

caitlyn

Okay

3:23 am

sandyloo

It's been running forever-

3:23 am

sprite

*evil grin*
Ok, sandy, ok. I love Startrek too, btw. Especially TNG

3:23 am

sandyloo

At the moment she is watching Coronation Street

3:23 am

sprite

why is give money again valid, but the past tense not??

3:24 am

caitlyn

No you are talking real soaps !

3:24 am

sandyloo

I have the whole series of TNG and of

3:24 am

sandyloo

I have the whole series of TNG and of

3:24 am

sandyloo

I have the whole series of TNG and of

3:24 am

sandyloo

voyager

3:24 am

caitlyn

Okay now I am going out, the noise and mess are getting to me, see you later

3:25 am

sprite

ohhhhhh! I swear I could come over to your place and stay for ages, watching season after season.

3:25 am

sprite

good lcuk, caitlin, will think of you

3:25 am

sandyloo

Well, I just wanted to be sure you knew that...LOL

3:25 am

sprite

:D

3:25 am

sandyloo

bye cait

3:25 am

sandyloo

did you hear from Rolin Sprite

3:26 am

sprite

oh wait let me check

3:27 am

sprite

yes, I have an email from her, thank you!

3:28 am

sandyloo

I might email you

3:30 am

sprite

I'd always love to hear from you

3:31 am

sandyloo

have sent you a quick note

3:31 am

sprite

yay :)

3:32 am

sandyloo

we are about to put our house on the market and that means we will be building our new house on the farm and giving up the 'shed life'

3:33 am

sprite

does that mean you will have a better place to live eventually?

3:33 am

sandyloo

lol, I think the house will be lovely, my daughter Rebecca is an architect

3:34 am

sandyloo

we have another house - the new house will be built on the farm

3:35 am

sprite

ohhhh wonderful, I hope you will make loads of pics.

3:35 am

sandyloo

I am getting worried, because the shed doesn't need a lot of housework but the new house will

3:35 am

sprite

and LOL at rolin's email. I am not surprised. Will write back to you about it too, and to her of course. Tail on fire...

3:36 am

sprite

tell your daughter. I am sure she can come up with designs that will actually be low-maintenance.

3:36 am

sandyloo

When it is built, you have an invitation to come and stay

3:37 am

sandyloo

quite a way off, tho

3:39 am

sprite

true, but who knows! I'd really love to see it, that is for sure. I do envy you the freedom to do such things. So much space and so few regulations about what you can build, that is the opposite of the Dutch situation.

3:41 am

sandyloo

I watch those housing shows on tele and I can see that the regulations differ very much from ours.

3:50 am

sprite

we don't have much space to start with, and you cannot imagine the regulations here. Leave it to a small country to be narrowminded!

3:52 am

sandyloo

We will be able to build just about what we want -I can envisage some conflict with hubby tho, I am sure my ideas are larger than his

3:53 am

sandyloo

I will have to keep him under control (he is probably thinking the same thing!

3:53 am

sprite

you will find solutions that honour both of your ideas, and the end result will be better than either of you can see now :)

3:58 am

sprite

wherever you go go texaco...

3:59 am

sandyloo

we will see, sprite, lucky we are both very peaceful people

4:00 am

sprite

I wrote back to you and rolin

4:01 am

sprite

yayyyy one 8 found.

4:09 am

rubyfoo

good morning. At last, a big grid!

4:12 am

rubyfoo

hi sprite and sandy. Sandy, I read an article about a rooster and four hens killing a fox in their henhouse; they first knocked him out then pecked him to death!

4:12 am

sandyloo

emailed you back sprite

4:13 am

sprite

got it :)

4:13 am

sprite

hi rubyfoo!

4:14 am

sandyloo

Ruby, I wish my chooks would wake up to themselves, maybe I'll show them the article

4:14 am

sprite

can I be sorry for the fox? Guess I can't... but I am.

4:15 am

sandyloo

No you can't Sprite because foxes have killed so many of our chooks. they kill every single one and rip their heads off and then just leave them-they kill for fun

4:15 am

rubyfoo

I thought you would like that story, sandy

4:16 am

sandyloo

Bruce has covered our large chookpen with wire mesh and the fox can't get in anymore(providing I remember to shut the pen up at night

4:16 am

sandyloo

I did Ruby

4:16 am

carleekat

hi all

4:16 am

sandyloo

4:16 am

4:17 am

sprite

am hoping with you, sandy

4:17 am

sprite

hi carleekat

4:17 am

carleekat

how are u sprite?

4:17 am

sandyloo

hi carlee

4:17 am

rubyfoo

I don't mind animals killing to eat, but killing for fun is different.

4:18 am

carleekat

hey sandy

4:19 am

sandyloo

4:21 am

redturtlehead

Morning all.... I think Foxes are very nice, unless you are raising chickens or ducks or anything they like to stalk. My parents like their foxes, but they have no livestock- makes a difference.

5:50 am

City 17 dweller

This grid has a bambi, a relative of thumper, a laughing canine, a beast of burden, a bird of prey (ra6/21) a snake (se7/30) and a horned amphibian

5:51 am

City 17 dweller

hi jmc

5:51 am

Merk

ty, I didn't try that because I curved the wrong way in my search.

5:51 am

City 17 dweller

yes, if today's grid has a flaw, it's the scattered a's.

5:52 am

City 17 dweller

but it was great fun, nonetheless :)

5:53 am

Scrabbler

Hello Merk, 17 + jm.

5:55 am

Scrabbler

Yippee 17! And TY for clues. I still have to find the beast of burden.

5:55 am

Scrabbler

Found it/them.

5:55 am

Scrabbler

And I am seeking that an8--thinking of that clue

5:55 am

5:56 am

5:56 am

5:58 am

Scrabbler

Aha, so now I need the right an4.

5:59 am

Scrabbler

Got it--new word for me.

5:59 am

jmcnrick

my problem is with the first 4 letters

5:59 am

Scrabbler

What poker players do.

5:59 am

5:59 am

Scrabbler

Now pluralize

hi, jbv, merk, inge, scrabbs. made breakfast. It surprises me how little the 4-yr-old eats

6:11 am

Scrabbler

Yep, some kids are so bothered by the need for meals.

6:21 am

rubyfoo

city, I would never have noticed most of the fauna thank you so much!

6:21 am

Scrabbler

Hi Ruby

6:22 am

dcseain

hi, ruby

6:22 am

Scrabbler

At 115/96 I must get ready for work. Bye all.

6:23 am

rubyfoo

hello scrabbler and seain and inge

6:23 am

rubyfoo

I have 91 but really like this grid

6:24 am

rubyfoo

I'd be really happy with half!

6:24 am

rubyfoo

however, I just planted my radishes and watered the tomatoes, so feel satisfied with my day, and it's only half over!

6:25 am

dcseain

fresh radishes are delicious

6:26 am

rubyfoo

they are so easy to grow (even for me) and are so much tastier than the ones from the market

6:27 am

dcseain

yes, MUCH tastier. I hated radishes til my grandparents grew some, and i tasted straight from ground. I was about 15.

6:27 am

rubyfoo

tomatoes are harder to grow and I've had very limited success. But the ones from stores are not worth eating, so the only ones I ever eat are the ones I grow, i.e. every couple of years! lol

6:27 am

dcseain

tomatoes grow like weeds where i live

6:28 am

dcseain

wow. the jay in teh dogwood is VERY blue

6:28 am

rubyfoo

we have no blue jays here or dogwoods, for that matter.

6:29 am

rubyfoo

we are on a hillside, so the soil is very poor

6:29 am

rubyfoo

before this place became "fashionable", it had vineyards and goats

6:29 am

rubyfoo

and fishermen

6:30 am

lynxxx

Maybe you should grow your tomatoes in tubs or crates Ruby. Hi DC too

6:30 am

dcseain

hi, lyn

6:30 am

Merk

ne 7,8 clue please

6:30 am

rubyfoo

hy lynxx, too late for this year, we put in 12 plants already

6:31 am

crosshair

where the soil is poor,we used to grow "pot" gardens tomatos,herbs,snpa peas,green bean,creen onions,chives etc all do well

6:31 am

crosshair

good morning everyone

6:31 am

dcseain

peanuts and mint thrive in poor soil

6:31 am

dcseain

morning, crossy

6:32 am

lynxxx

hi Cross

6:32 am

rubyfoo

I grow all the herbs in pots near the kitchen and in the closest border. Mint grows wild now because we had a Moroccan housekeeper and she planted a little. Now it's one of our mauvaises herbes!

6:32 am

Merk

clue please for the ne 7,8 ... assuming it's not the poor soil ... lack of nitrogen and such ... LOL

6:32 am

rubyfoo

hi crossy

Golly, this is an interesting grid with that x in a prime spot.

6:39 am

I know, nice to be able to use it.

6:43 am

one short of half but DH won't let me continue!

trying to co 5/24 some more words but they refuse to be co6/39 ;)

6:47 am

re 8 clue please. Does it build on the 6?

6:48 am

Merk

I'm not on my own laptop today and I am no longer use to the stiffness of a PC.

6:49 am

Haz1558

It doesn't build on the 6.

6:49 am

dcseain

it's weird

6:49 am

Clue for it then, please

6:49 am

I like this grid better than the last few, anyway

6:56 am

Haz1558

It is an enjoyable one, I agree.

6:56 am

lynxxx

I must be tired, I am finding this very hard

6:58 am

Haz1558

Fresh eyes syndrome leads to self-kicking syndrome.

6:59 am

lynxxx

see I didn't even see the volcano till now...speaking of which how is Iceland going?

7:00 am

Haz1558

There hasn't been much talked about it lately. I'm sure the volcano is still erupting but the ash cloud seems to have been reclassified as not dangerous enough any more. Debate rages as to whether it was that dangerous in the first place.

7:01 am

Haz1558

I haven't had any more ash on the car, so that's good.

7:01 am

dcseain

no ash is a good thing, indeed

7:02 am

lynxxx

Really? it was that bad...I saw the poor sheep in Iceland didn't realise it was 'landing' in Ireland. No drying laundry outside then

7:03 am

dcseain

ash fell in Netherlands, too, so i'm guessing in parts
Wales/England as well

7:03 am

Haz1558

It was really only evident when it landed on cars - a dirty, very fine sandy like substance. It was never bad enough to stop hanging laundry outside.

7:03 am

lynxxx

I wonder how many people would have opted to fly if they said it 'might' be dangerous and the engines could fail

7:03 am

Haz1558

But yes, it fell all over Britain.

7:04 am

Haz1558

I think people would have been led by the pilot, if he was willing to go, they'd have trusted him. It would all depend on your desperation to get going, I suppose.

7:05 am

Haz1558

The airlines are pretty peeved that the authorities closed airspace etc but they are the ones having to compensate people for missed flights etc.

7:07 am

EspritdJean

I think they made the better decision to err on the side of caution, don't you?

7:07 am

lynxxx

I do. Hi Espritd

7:07 am

EspritdJean

all they would have needed was one flight compromised because of debris in the turbines and the world would go nuts

7:08 am

dcseain

i think so jean. good morning

7:08 am

EspritdJean

gm sir seain, ms lyn

7:09 am

Haz1558

I think they made the decision without really knowing the risks involved, and without doing the tests that would have revealed just what the danger really was. No doubt there'll be a public enquiry and nobody will be to blame.

7:10 am

lynxxx

Not another Royal Commission! or don't you have them over there Haz.

7:11 am

Haz1558

We have Public Enquiries. A great deal of talk, a great deal of investigation, a lot of money and all too late to influence anything.

7:11 am

dcseain

i thought one of the continental gov'ts found that fighter jets form glass, commercial did not

7:13 am

Haz1558

It's been a huge mess and there are still people stuck abroad, trying to get onto scheduled flights which are fully booked.

7:14 am

dcseain

i live near KIAD, and the hotels were FULL for miles around.

7:16 am

Haz1558

Anyway, I must get on and have some lunch. Enjoy the rest of the grid. x marks the spot more than 30 times today!

7:16 am

lynxxx

I know - everyone can all just blame Iceland, in fact people could all sue Iceland (not that that would do any good!)

7:16 am

Haz1558

Bye!

10:55 am

dcseain

howdy, jade! been a while since you've been round here

10:55 am

dcseain

10:55 am

dcseain

hence the excitement. he sprained his dignity

10:55 am

SeaSpray

you have a visitor dc?

LOL at the dignity - I fractured mine falling down the stairs this morning ;)

10:57 am

dcseain

pleckos look ugly as they do their work.

10:57 am

pippingeek

still better than falling up the stairs, that's my specialty

10:57 am

dcseain

oh, glad that's all you fractured, NB

10:57 am

dcseain

yes, more likely to get hurt falling up the stairs. and falling up is more common

10:58 am

Nancy Boy

thanks :) the cut on my hand opened and started bleeding impressively. Don't think I've ever fallen up the stairs, though!

10:58 am

pippingeek

so i found the coolest thing to do with the fella to kick off our holiday together!

10:59 am

pippingeek

oh no, nb, after the stitches and everything!

10:59 am

dcseain

ouch, NB

10:59 am

11:07 am

pippingeek

well i think there's a fence between the tigers and the cake

11:08 am

pippingeek

so far we're talking about that, the salvador dali museum, busch gardens for roller coasters, fort desoto (awesome beach and things to climb on), and we're not sure beyond that

11:08 am

pippingeek

oh, and kayaking, his doc said he's well enough to go kayaking!

11:08 am

dcseain

hooray! i love kayaking

11:09 am

Nancy Boy

wow, you sound so active! Summer holidays over here generally involve staying inside and watching the rain.

11:09 am

pippingeek

i like it and he says he's into it, but i was worried that it would hurt him, but the therapist said it would be cool

11:09 am

dcseain

and Busch Gardens Williamsburg is a ton of fun. I'm sure FL is as much so.

11:09 am

pippingeek

fl is all "africa", there's more big kitties and giraffes and stuff plus good rides

11:09 am

dcseain

hot and humid is it is, being out on the river/lake/ocean is a great way to spend summer. though you pull in to shore fo the thunderstorms

Mom! *pouts* you know, I think I do...a big one!

11:21 am

EvaNadine

praise -- try refreshing in 2 other places:
(1) on the page where you loaded up the image
(2) on the "My Account" page
then come back here and refresh the main page.

that usually works for me.

12:05 pm

periwinkle

ok, bbl

12:05 pm

cybernan

I just look for a car with lots of leg room, comfortable seats with lumbar support for both driver and passenger

12:05 pm

bichon

Yes, peri. We've had no problems with any of the many Toyotas we've had.

12:06 pm

bichon

But, we probably won't buy a new car for many years. Ours have low mileage on them

12:06 pm

cybernan

I don't think I would buy an Odessy again -- can't move the passenger seat back and the driver's seat won't go back far enough now that we've added the orbus seat pads.

12:07 pm

Nancy Boy

Oooh Eva, what kind of sushi?

sushi is what I miss most, living in France

12:14 pm

he took a tumble off the swing. i pushed him too high, and i failed to make sure he was well-seated and holding on tightly.

12:14 pm

so, we each a bit at fault, but he deserved to be mad. nothing hurts other than his dignity.

12:15 pm

12:16 pm

Ormal

lol dcseain. my husband did that with my daughter on the merry go round when she was little. She kept screaming faster, faster, so he did. She let go and flew like a skipping stone.

12:16 pm

Ormal

then she asked him WHY did you do that daddy?

12:16 pm

bichon

there's no sushi in France. Lucky you, I won't eat it

12:16 pm

Nancy Boy

it's easier than you think Crossy - after a while you don't miss the other stuff. And the feeling of virtuousness lasts a lifetime ;)

12:17 pm

hurshy

it's funny, on the not-so-frequent occasions when i interacted with kids in the past, i feel like i could easily have done that, but ever since wesley was born... with him i am SO cautious. (not son, just nephew).

12:17 pm

rubyfoo

you are probably right, bichon, parasites etc., but I still missa it

hi, sally

12:18 pm

Haven't been able to chat for a few days.

12:18 pm

i HATE the texture of raw fish. yuck

12:18 pm

Ormal

bichon, I'm with you. I'll eat the mushrooms, but do not care at all for the other things

12:18 pm

Sally-catlover

avocados mmm. See you're all talking about food again.

12:19 pm

hurshy

i'm ok with avocado and a california roll, but mostly do not like raw fish, and hate mushrooms, so, there you go.

12:19 pm

crosshair

my mrsLOVES shrooms,but i cannot stand them

12:19 pm

EvaNadine

i was so vehemently opposed to sushi for years. i dont even like fish very much when its COOKED, why on earth would i like it RAW??

but i tried it, and i actually LOVE it. one of my favorite meals. go figure!

12:19 pm

rubyfoo

I never had sushi with mushrooms. But I ate a huge amount of it in NY and on my few visits to Japan and LA

12:19 pm

bichon

I don't eat mushrooms cause they're parasites. Call me crazy, but...

12:19 pm

dcseain

i had a lovely mushroom and seaweed sushi when i was on Long Island last month

12:20 pm

EvaNadine

my parents called me a parasite, but they let me sick around. ;)

12:20 pm

rubyfoo

I used to eat wild mushrooms when I lived in NY and NJ. Unfortunately, when I moved to Florida, I was carteless, ate some wild mushrooms and wound up in hospital for several days

12:20 pm

bichon

if your lips have touched sushi and mushrooms, they will never touch mine <ggg>

12:20 pm

Sally-catlover

Nice typo eva!

12:20 pm

I wish for a penance like that!

12:22 pm

Do you make tartar sauce?

12:22 pm

Sally-catlover

yup! Hard decision.

12:22 pm

hurshy

so, what were those long words i saw mentioned earlier out of the corner of my eye but neglected to pay attention to cause i wasn't ready yet?

12:22 pm

Sally-catlover

Don't make it ruby, but I do like it. Not sure with fish and chips though. We have Branston pickle with it.

12:22 pm

12:23 pm

rubyfoo

12:23 pm

Nancy Boy

LOL Crossy!!

12:23 pm

matrix protagonist + keyboard action

12:24 pm

Sally-catlover

an 8: an4 (meaning before) followed by word meaning what you do on a keyboard. Then plural.

12:24 pm

rubyfoo

that is such a weird word

12:24 pm

hurshy

oh sure, that's a word, but unty5 isn't!

12:24 pm

Sally-catlover

It's just a particular brand of pickle ruby. I like tartare sauce, but prob not with fried fish.

12:24 pm

hurshy

so what's the other 9?

12:25 pm

rubyfoo

you might, give it a try. For me, any sauce with fried anything is OK!

12:25 pm

bichon

ex 9 person who ex 7

12:25 pm

12:33 pm

Nancy Boy

lol Ruby - that's the only thing that makes me worry about being vegan; if I eat at other people's houses, I don't want them to regard me as a pain ;) how do you define an "extreme" vegan?

12:33 pm

crosshair

lol! i just blew my lids mind last night.i showed him what schoolhouse rock was hehe

12:33 pm

rubyfoo

no meat, no fish, no eggs, god knows what else

12:34 pm

extreme vegans only eat things that do not cast a shadow lol

12:34 pm

hurshy

12:36 pm

EvaNadine

thats not really an extreme vegan. that just...plain old vegan...heh

12:36 pm

Nancy Boy

sounds the same as a normal vegan Ruby ;)

12:36 pm

Nancy Boy

oh snap Eva :D

12:36 pm

rubyfoo

feels extreme around here!

12:36 pm

EvaNadine

grat minds, NB. ;)

12:36 pm

rubyfoo

what do I know? I eat whatever I want....

12:36 pm

EvaNadine

vegan is kinda like "extreme vegetarian."

12:37 pm

crosshair

im not going to go overboard,just less grease and bread and processed snacks

12:37 pm

Nancy Boy

the only variation I ever come across in veganism is whether or not honey is acceptable.

12:37 pm

hurshy

factory farming is extreme...

12:37 pm

rubyfoo

husband is on South Beach, dogs are on beef heart risotto, I'm on whatever I feel like

12:37 pm

hurshy

it's just they take good care to keep it hidden!

12:37 pm

EvaNadine

most vegans i know wont eat honey because the bees arent out in nature, free, and they say its cruel...

12:38 pm

rubyfoo

and I don't gain weight, ever

12:38 pm

crosshair

rub it in ruby

12:38 pm

rubyfoo

hahahah

12:39 pm

Nancy Boy

lol. I think the key to gaining weight was, for me, alcohol. So obviously, to keep myself from going back down old roads, I should drink up ;)

12:39 pm

crosshair

hardest for me will not be the bacon, but no bread

12:39 pm

rubyfoo

for sure, NB

12:39 pm

crosshair

oh and im allowed only a single beer a day,no hard alcohok

12:40 pm

rubyfoo

with a gluten -free diet, no beer, crossy!

12:40 pm

Nancy Boy

oh no Crossy! D: now that, I would find hard..

12:40 pm

hurshy

i always say the bible says "man shall not live by bread alone" cause they knew we'd be tempted to! yum bread

12:40 pm

crosshair

like i say ill not go overboard

12:40 pm

rubyfoo

can you imagine visiting france and not eating bread?

12:40 pm

EvaNadine

my weakness is cheese

12:41 pm

crosshair

cest impossilbe!

12:41 pm

Nancy Boy

especially as I don't enjoy beer - can't see the appeal there!

12:41 pm

rubyfoo

my weakness is babble!

12:41 pm

Nancy Boy

try vegan cheese Eva; it'll put you off for life ;)

12:41 pm

EvaNadine

i often wonder if i would lose weight if i did nothing else but give up cheese.

12:42 pm

crosshair

me just tossing the bacon,bread and hard booze will do it for me lol

12:42 pm

EvaNadine

oh, i can imagine, NB.
i think i may have had it -- i have a good friend who is "mostly vegetarian" (she still eats seafood, on her husbands request) and i think i had some of her cheese once... shes not vegan, but i think she eats vegan cheese for some reason...

12:42 pm

rubyfoo

but the bacon, bread and hard booze sound like the perfect die!

12:42 pm

crosshair

12:44 pm

Nancy Boy

it's...I can't put into words how strange it is. The brand I tried seemed fixated with the idea that CHEESE MELTS and so it would melt just like that...bizarre. Felt more obliged to put it in a lava lamp than eat it.

jacq

ouch!! i hope you didn't hurt anything else?

3:23 pm

Nancy Boy

nah, just my dignity ;) the funny thing was, Leo was walking down next to me, and he laughed so hard that he lost his footing a few seconds later. Karma, or a match made in heaven?

4:02 pm

jacq

LOL a cure!! in this day and age people still believe that sh*te?

4:03 pm

Soodle

Nancy, I have a son the same age as you. I used to mourn that I no longer had small kids, but now I celebrate the fact that they have their own opinions, their own friends, their own views on life. Somehow i feel that I must have done something right along the way......

4:03 pm

jacq

of course you did soodle, you gsave them everything they needed to find their own way in everything

4:04 pm

Nancy Boy

Must have done Soodle ;)

4:05 pm

I have a friend who was planning some 'world' trips. I found it shocking and disgusting that he and his partner had to plan to avoid some countries and cities as they would not have been accepted (gay too). Could not believe there was a site (and the need for one) which advises what is safe and not

4:06 pm

jacq

i have friends who grew up here in this town and had to move away because of harassment, they rarely come back to visit because they hate the place

4:07 pm

lynxxx

How sad. Is that all mover Scotland or just your town do you think

4:07 pm

Soodle

Thanks Jac. But, I often wonder if I did enough...or did I neglect something. I go back to my favourite film of all time - Mama Mia. You know that song - Slipping Through My Fingers.... That song makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up..

4:07 pm

jacq

it's sad people can't just be accepted

4:07 pm

lawyer-1

This tragic situation is somewhat akin to McCarthy's witch hunt of Communists and Hitler's purge of Jews.

4:07 pm

jacq

soodle all parents think that i think, well kost of them, i know some terrible parents who never question their actions, so maybe it's the good ones who worry about it :O)

4:08 pm

lawyer-1

Pity the poor Jewish communist who also happens to be gay!

4:08 pm

jacq

it's a small town mindset lynxxx, now there are a couple f very openly gay and extremely camp young men who don't care and have a large enough friend base that they are safe as houses

4:09 pm

Nancy Boy

Lynx, I live in the 'gay area' of London - the kind of reactions I/we get always surprise me all over again whenever I leave it.

4:09 pm

Soodle

Do you know the song I am talking about Jac? From Mama Mia? And I know... I really have done my best for the ungrateful wretches.. and they ARE the ones who will chose which home I am put into....

4:10 pm

jacq

i was googling it soodle, but i don't think i have ever heard it, but my eldest always reminds me that some day she will wipe my bottom and shave my chin for me lol so it sounds familiar

4:10 pm

Nancy Boy

LOL Soodle! I know the song you mean

4:10 pm

lynxxx

When you get sick of Soho NB you'll have to come to Melbourne to live, especially my suburd now that I think about it. Very accepting here

4:11 pm

jacq

and if you ever travel up north of noeth NB i will always make you welcome and have your back if the inbreeds start

4:13 pm

Nancy Boy

very encouraging to hear that Lynx :) I'd love to visit Australia someday! I went around the world (ish) with a group of friends last summer but somehow missed touching on down under...

4:13 pm

Nancy Boy

Jac! LOL

4:14 pm

jacq

it's not my fault the gene pool is too shallow to drown in, and it's not my fault they guard it jealously

4:14 pm

Soodle

Jac, Have you never seen Mama Mia?

4:14 pm

jacq

no soodle i was going to but never ghot round to it, i will though

4:15 pm

jacq

wow my typing is awful tonight maybe need to cut my claws

4:15 pm

JBV

jumping in on the chat - I don't think it's the geographic location at all, there are prejudiced people everywhere (unfortunately) and good people everywhere, you just have to find a community that is supportive and find strength there

4:15 pm

Soodle

At the risk of sounding like a teenager....OMG!!! You just GOTTA see it.

4:15 pm

jacq

LOL i will i promise

4:15 pm

jacq

hello JBV

4:17 pm

Soodle

I am going to hold you to that Jac. It is such a fecking FEEL GOOD movie. Its sunshine, handsome men, Meryl Streep at her finest - just pure, honest to God escapism. Everybody should see Mama Mia. (And I dont work for the publicity company!)

4:17 pm

jacq

feel good i need

4:17 pm

JBV

hi jacq and soodle and Nancy Boy

4:17 pm

jacq

will watch it this week coming

4:18 pm

Soodle

JBV. Sorry. I was on a Mama Mia rant when you came in there. I am finished now!

4:18 pm

Nancy Boy

hi, JBV :)

4:18 pm

JBV

I liked the movie, too - it's definitely not high art, I would say, but feel good, yes, yes, yes

4:19 pm

Good Enough

Soodle, i just watched the song on youtube (never saw the movie), i'm verclempt

4:20 pm

jacq

brb toddler knocking on her bedroom door for some reason

4:20 pm

jacq

hello good enough

4:20 pm

Soodle

Good enough...watch the movie!!

4:22 pm

Soodle

JBV. Nobody said Mama Mia is High Art! It is sunshine, escapism, lovely singing, Meryl Streep falling for Pierce Brosnan (and vice versa).... it is pure romance.

4:22 pm

JBV

yes, it's fun, I agree

4:23 pm

Nancy Boy

Pierce Brosnan singing was a mistake though!

4:23 pm

jacq

LOL NB

4:23 pm

poodletoes

ABBA music is a real upper. You can turn up the volume and sing with it at the top of your lungs. Definitely improves your mood

4:31 pm

Good Enough

Mom

Flosey. My father had one of those. I wonder what ever happened to it... He also had all kinds of cool antique things that were probably thrown out or left behind. My mom was in such a state when she finally sold her old house after 34 years.

5:11 pm

Michnick

I am being haunted by tornado in the grid!

5:11 pm

flosey

wow, - I tell hubby I'm going before he does because I don't want to get stuck with all his 'treasures'

good night Soodle, and hugs - you also made someone elses day too, don't forget that

5:13 pm

Michnick

You said it Flosey, both my parents were/are packrats but my mom just collects odds and ends while a lot of my father's 'junk' had collector value (it was just regular stuff when he acquired it but if you keep stuff long enough, it becomes an antique collector's item to someone!)

5:13 pm

Michnick

Night Soodle

5:14 pm

flosey

hubby has stuff from his sister's house and also his mom's - some of which he hasn't even had time to look through

5:15 pm

flosey

5:16 pm

flosey

you must have great memories mich, I do, and Dad's been gone 33 years

5:18 pm

Michnick

There were good times and bad, so I try to remember the good. My dad was not the easiest man. Today he would have been on anti-depressants & would have had a CPAP machine for his sleep apnea, all in all he'd be happier today than he was. All that has changed and he's only been gone 14 years!

5:19 pm

7:48 pm

Dorens

am feeling exceedingly guilty though

7:48 pm

lbdawger

bye, peri

7:48 pm

lbdawger

well, i suppose you could throw it out, but then that defeats the purpose of your pilferage, doesn't it?

7:50 pm

lbdawger

and saving it...how long can you keep an open bottle of wine?

7:50 pm

Dorens

oh i would NEVER throw it out. just think i might end up coming clean tho. Went over there (after telling him i would) to pick up one or two kitchen implements i had left, and dropped off the paper entitling him to store his canoe at the lake in my time

7:50 pm

Dorens

and remembered some naughty babblers encouraging me to help myself to a bottle or two from his immense cellar... I haven't opened it yet

7:51 pm

lbdawger

ahh, well, he apparently had enjoyed the first half, now you can enjoy the second.

7:51 pm

Dorens

(store his canoe at the lake in my TOWN). oh. no, it isn't half an open bottle... it's a little baby bottle

7:52 pm

lbdawger

oh, it's a split of wine.

7:52 pm

Dorens

oh yes... i guess it is a split.

7:52 pm

lbdawger

i'd probably tell him i took a split of wine, and hope he doesn't mind.

7:53 pm

Dorens

yah,, i think that is what i will do. and he will be quite gracious about it, i'm sure.

7:54 pm

lbdawger

better being up front about it. makes for more enjoyment of the wine. when you do open it

7:54 pm

Dorens

there was a gorgeous bottle of sterling reserve on the kitchen counter... thought of taking that... thinking maybe he left it out there for me. but i don't really think he did, so i didn't

7:55 pm

lbdawger

are you two splitting up?

7:55 pm

Dorens

oh. sorry, i thought you knew. he dumped me two weeks ago. two weeks after my Board of Ed approved a budget that eliminated all counseling positions. i'm in a bit of a tailspin still

7:56 pm

lbdawger

man, that really sux! sorry to hear that, Dorens.

7:56 pm

Dorens

thanks. it isn't my happiest time. not sure which i am unhappiest about... i think the job, actually, but not sure

7:56 pm

lbdawger

i knew about your job, but didn't know about him.

7:57 pm

lbdawger

(((Dorens)))

7:57 pm

lbdawger

bbl, new bones is on.

7:57 pm

Dorens

it was kind of a surprise. more like a shock actually. still a bit numb, but it will be okay in time

8:04 pm

rururocks

she asked how long opened wine will last

8:04 pm

rururocks

what did you pilfer Dorens?

8:04 pm

Dorens

graves premier grand cru. 82 haut brion.

8:04 pm

Dorens

a baby bottle. i am not good at thieving.. couldn't bring myself to take more

8:05 pm

rururocks

oh Sh**..he is likely gonna mind that one...

8:05 pm

Dorens

nah! he has a case or two of them... brought me one once when i was sick and he made chili or beef stew or something like that. he rarely opens them himself.. he is more likely to drink a whole bottle himself

8:06 pm

Dorens

bought i'll probably tell him cause i am feeling guilty... my spine froze as i descended the stairs to the cellar

8:07 pm

Dorens

bought? supposed to be but. and i haven't even had a sip yet

8:07 pm

rururocks

oh.. well then.. tell him this:

8:07 pm

Dorens

yes....?

8:08 pm

rururocks

Ken..my palate has grown so much by tasting wine with you that I wanted to re-affirm my opinion of that Haut Brion by having another bottle and really understand Premier Grand Cru wines..lol

8:08 pm

Dorens

hahahaha

8:08 pm

rururocks

try that.. that will work..lol

8:09 pm

rururocks

That is one gorgeous wine too

8:10 pm

72 Temple Owl

jsut ell him you needed a bottle to bring to the babble meetup

8:10 pm

Dorens

it certainly would. the sad thing is that he doesn't even care about some of those old french burgundies as much as i did. I often had to remind him that they needed to be drunk.. he literally has hundreds of '82's (that must have been the year he made his millions) that will not last long

8:10 pm

Dorens

he is actually quite generous and probably wouldn't mind. but i just feel weird

8:11 pm

72 Temple Owl

please please: someonegive me all of the ex words except the last two

8:11 pm

Dorens

he prefers california cabs

8:11 pm

rururocks

you could tell him he could shine on all future birthday presents by giving you them to enjoy..lol

8:11 pm

Dorens

owl the only one i can give you is the business ex**utive. i only have the ex4's

8:11 pm

rururocks

11:54 pm

flosey

hello everyone, grem, are you asking for a small grid?

11:54 pm

gremlinn

no, just trying to predict

11:56 pm

gremlinn

I was reading about a project to try to find Boggle boards with the most points/words. For 5x5, one was found with 13459 total points and 3120 words.

11:56 pm

flosey

I would love that, have a very busy day tomorrow

11:56 pm

jillibus

Hello -- I'm sorry I missed this one

11:57 pm

gremlinn

So I was thinking, asking for a board here with a mere 1000 is a modest request.

11:57 pm

flosey

yes, it would be

11:57 pm

jillibus

flosey, are you going to that luncheon?

11:57 pm

jillibus

ye gods, grem!

11:58 pm

flosey

yes jilli, pool exercise at 10, and a friend from the class has very kindly invited me to go to her place to change so I can get to the luncheon on time

11:58 pm

gremlinn

That's points counted by Boggle rules (nothing over 11 points).

11:59 pm

jillibus

See you there, flosey -- and nice choice of beetle!

11:59 pm

flosey

thanks jilli - you don't really see it properly until you check the bio
