12:21 am

12:21 am

12:21 am

herinfernallady

Can i ask why do people put their home address in facebook

12:21 am

jillibus

I think it's after, west, lol!

12:22 am

MLFAN17

thanks mel as soon as you said you had just found the second BO 7 i found it too

12:22 am

westford

I'm glad you know what I meant lol

12:22 am

MLFAN17

herin beats me and its soemthing you are not supposed to do for safety purposes

12:22 am

westford

herin it's because they are not being careful

12:23 am

MLFAN17

i jsut said the same thing but i n a different way west lol

12:23 am

westford

I read the article Crossy posted and there is a lot of good info in there

12:23 am

herinfernallady

Well this girl has her business address listed but it is her home adress

12:24 am

MLFAN17

a lot of people do things like that on fb herin

12:24 am

herinfernallady

I mean if i ran a business from home it would be my name and a business mobile number different to one listed in a phone book

12:25 am

jillibus

nbt -- not exactly an everyday word, that ob6

12:25 am

MLFAN17

herin but if its a home base business then i guess you would have to unless you got a different phone line and number

12:26 am

rururocks

...hansn't the slightest idea about the ob..

12:26 am

kje

me either

12:26 am

MLFAN17

i dont either ruru

12:27 am

rururocks

found the ca 7 though

12:27 am

herinfernallady

Opps What I mean is I would have my business number listed under business and I wouldn't have my home address on the webpage. Maybe a PO box

12:27 am

meliae

sounds like another more common word that starts with the same 2 letters

12:27 am

westford

what does the ca start with?

12:27 am

jillibus

I object to the ob6 having one letter different

12:27 am

VolleymomDee

ob 6/27... looks like what is said in court when a lawyer doesn't like question asked... just need to change third consonant

12:28 am

westford

can one only get an allergic reaction to penicillin if you've already been given some?

12:33 am

westford

or can it happen the first time around?

12:34 am

kje

usually not the first time... but yes, the second... and then each time tends to worsen slightly

12:34 am

kje

you have to have been exposed before to get the reaction... so usually occurs second dose

West Hopefully the Government wil support Oscars law and make it a law

1:16 am

herinfernallady

I am sick of the RSPCA and police not doing enough

1:17 am

westford

they try though

1:17 am

herinfernallady

West more like trying.

1:18 am

westford

some people laws are ridiculous a man had a farm and was behind on his payments so they made him leave and all his animals nearly died because they wouldn't let him go there just to feed them

1:18 am

herinfernallady

Poor animals.

1:18 am

herinfernallady

That is a bit stupid

1:19 am

westford

he had a big heart and had rescued so many of them.. the SPCA did step in and made them allow him to go there

1:19 am

jillibus

bureaucrats

1:19 am

herinfernallady

There was a bad place shut down here recently and sadly the public still think the dogs went to happy homes

1:19 am

westford

no kidding jilli

1:20 am

westford

and they didn't?

1:22 am

herinfernallady

West no they didn't the bureaucrats didn't take the dogs of them. All 59 were shot and burned in the middle of the night. That is the clean details. My friend wont tell me the details or the pictures (she is involved in the raids) as she knows I will go and do something bad to these people

1:22 am

jillibus

I can't stop yawning

1:23 am

herinfernallady

Swap you yawning for putting in words that don't excist

1:23 am

westford

oh herin how terrible

1:23 am

jillibus

(not about those aminals)

1:23 am

westford

should I give you your surprise now jilli?

1:23 am

herinfernallady

one of the raiders did try and take a sick dog away and the police handed the dog back to owners. This is why Oscars Law is important.

1:23 am

westford

or will you make it until midnight your time?

1:23 am

jillibus

that would be lovely, west :)

1:24 am

jillibus

1:32 am

I have a question. When someone posts a link in babble can the rest of you just click on it or do you have to open a new window and copy and paste as I do ?

1:32 am

sprite

1:32 am

FMitch

1:34 am

jillibus

west, that puppy George is holding looks almost like a Dane pup

1:34 am

westford

almost but it's a pug

Yes -- and I was given a card yesterday by a multi-pug owner which was hilarious -- a pug under a pink hair dryer with pink rollers on its head and a pink cape -- really pug-ugly. The captions said "You're a classic beauty".

1:49 am

FMitch

Haven't seen you in ages chic, trust all is well with you.

1:49 am

gortmold

fair enough sprite, here's a freebie: this grid is divinely easy, not sa7 at all

1:50 am

FMitch

Hope you have had a great birthday jilli!

1:50 am

Andree

are you doing anything special for your birthday?

1:50 am

sprite

that is a good sign, chic, but sounds like things could be a lot better too

1:50 am

gortmold

also, the ocular orbit of your dog or cat or guinea pig or tapir could be said to be your pe6/21

1:50 am

sprite

already got that one, gortmold, but thanks

1:50 am

sprite

not in need of clues yet though, although I appreciate the sentiment!

1:51 am

1:52 am

jillibus

have fun, gort -- what will you read to them?

1:52 am

chic

the arthritis is troublesome at times; looking to get a mobility chair being stuck at home all the time is overrated.

1:52 am

jillibus

poor chic!

1:53 am

sprite

darn chic, that is nasty!

1:53 am

herinfernallady

Poor Chic

1:53 am

chic

I might try the hyaluronic acid injections for the knee next.

1:55 am

sprite

painful :(
If you do, I hope they will work very very well.

1:56 am

FMitch

echos sprites sentiments.

1:57 am

chic

thanx, guys. the cortisone ones aren't working any more.

1:58 am

FMitch

well we are glad to see you regardless of aches and pains.

1:58 am

sprite

that is a rotten place to be in the process. I know it doesn't help much, chic, but I will think of you and send you loads of good vibes.

1:58 am

herinfernallady

Chic can you get medical marijuana?

1:59 am

jillibus

Are you going to get a knee replacement, chic?

1:59 am

chic

I'm here every night; I just lurk a lot.

1:59 am

Andree

this is a lovely grid, just started but just flowing along

1:59 am

rubyfoo

I haven't met you, chic, but hello and I'm sorry about your knee. You must be a kid, like me!

1:59 am

FMitch

It is the most lovely morning here, the sun is shining and the forecast for the week is putting temps into the low 20s and spring is springing :)

2:01 am

sprite

indeed Andree! Terra took a mud bath yesterday, btw, he came home from a walk with my son as black as tar!

2:01 am

chic

no surgeries, please. I'm already sick of all the docs I see. no pot it shoots the blood pressure up.

2:01 am

chic

no surgeries, please. I'm already sick of all the docs I see. no pot it shoots the blood pressure up.

2:01 am

Andree

after all the cold and snow you had I hope it becomes a lovely summer fmitch

2:01 am

rubyfoo

very cold here, too, but at least the rain stopped yesterday.

2:01 am

rubyfoo

very cold here, too, but at least the rain stopped yesterday.

2:02 am

chic

the lovely glitch time

2:02 am

jillibus

knee sugery works wonders, I hear

2:02 am

sprite

FM, same here. Isn't it delightful? We were ready for this.

2:02 am

rubyfoo

and we all say everything twice!

2:03 am

jillibus

lovely here too lately, but next week looks wet, they say

2:03 am

chic

I just hate hosp., jill

2:03 am

sprite

lol ruby, that is because you hit the enter twice. Hiccup time keeps everything frozen for about 1 minute or 2. But everything is remembered and executed once the freeze is over.

2:03 am

FMitch

It was raining last night but had stopped when I went out to smell the air last night - the sky was clear and the stars were so brilliant and for about 5 mins there was no sound of traffic just the odd drop of water running off the plants and the air smelt so sweet and fresh.

2:03 am

herinfernallady

Chic this is the combo my friend feeds her arthritic ridden dog. All human grade pills: Daily Glucosamine/Chondroiten supplements, Daily Fish Oil Capsules, Daily Immune Support tablets She says it works a treat for pup and something human docs recommended to her for her arthritis.

2:03 am

Andree

up to now autumn has been lovely but now we need the heaters on morning and evening so winter is coming

2:04 am

sprite

don't we all, chic... bad places to be. Still, some very good work is done there. I am sure you will find you way towards the best solution for you.

2:04 am

jillibus

your choice, chic, but I'd sure go for a pain-free future.

2:04 am

rubyfoo

lovely image FM

2:04 am

chic

I've tried those, herein; didn't work for me.

2:05 am

herinfernallady

Poor Chic. Gentle hugs

2:06 am

FMitch

It was ruby - just me and the universe, I felt so small and big at the same time.

2:06 am

sprite

magical moments, FM

2:06 am

jillibus

My bridge partner had hip surgery at 83 -- syas she hasn't felt so good in years now.

2:06 am

herinfernallady

Andree please be warned there is storms a brewing in Sydney

2:06 am

chic

surgery would be the last choice; not there yet. just wish I could get in/out of my pool again. the lovely warm water of pool season is coming soon.

2:07 am

jillibus

FM, I love the smell of rain.

2:07 am

FMitch

nothing like it is there jilli.

2:07 am

chic

we haven't hit 100 deg. yet but it's getting close.

2:07 am

sprite

any chance of getting a small lift at your pool, chic? There are very simple ones that might do the trick for you. Moving in warm water is probably good for your knee anyway.

2:08 am

FMitch

good heavens 100 degrees 'wilts at the mere thought of it'

2:08 am

jillibus

an ocean breeze can be pretty uplifting too, FM

2:09 am

chic

yes I've priced them, sprite and a few other options but for now I'm opting for chair and leveling my shower.

2:09 am

FMitch

oh yes, the ozone smell is unique.

2:10 am

sprite

I understand, chic, can't have it all at once, can we.

2:10 am

jillibus

but rain is a softer scent

2:10 am

herinfernallady

I have a perfume with Ozone smell

2:10 am

chic

well FM it is a dry heat. LOL. we're having 10 % humidity these days.

2:11 am

chic

rain in the desert smells like a wet dusty dog.

2:12 am

FMitch

Don't remind me chic, I am going to have to spend a good protion of today watering plus I have a lot of planting to do today - am a happy bunny.

2:12 am

westford

hello I'm back

2:12 am

FMitch

LOL chic

2:13 am

chic

hi westie

2:13 am

FMitch

The worst heat I endured was in Dubai when it was 49 degrees, never want that sort of temp again.

2:14 am

jillibus

west, you left just before I posted a bit about a birthday card I was given yesterday by a pug person.

2:14 am

sprite

same for me, FM. I came out of the plane and I thought somebody had wrapped me in a wet, hot blanket.

2:15 am

jillibus

Was that Dubai heat dry or humid, FM?

2:15 am

sprite

extremely humid, jilli

2:15 am

jillibus

I guess sprite answered that.

2:15 am

westford

hi chic and oh no jilli I'll scroll back

2:16 am

jillibus

Oh, I think it's off the scroll, west.

jillibus

2:16 am

sprite

we so need to talk priorities, west ;)

2:16 am

westford

it will be jilli in about 3 1/2 hours

2:17 am

westford

it was hard to do..push clean oven and then start

2:17 am

jillibus

Self-cleaner or do you have to smear stuff on it?

2:17 am

sprite

lol

2:17 am

westford

self cleaning and a dream

2:17 am

jillibus

Self-cleaner, I see.

2:17 am

FMitch

Tsk tsk, cleaning ovens rather than babbling?

2:17 am

sprite

you tell her, FM

2:18 am

westford

I can do both FM

2:18 am

jillibus

Took you long enough to push those buttons, west!

2:18 am

westford

I know but had cats to feed and dishwasher to empty

2:18 am

westford

now a self emptying dishwasher would be nice

2:19 am

sprite

so we are 4th on your list. I say!

2:19 am

Andree

2:19 am

westford

lol sprite never

2:19 am

2:21 am

herinfernallady

Wall is being painfully climbed with lickety.

2:21 am

westford

2:21 am

sprite

we'll have joy, we'll have fun, we'll have hours in the sun, FM

2:22 am

jillibus

here's the bit about the pug card, west -- I was given a card yesterday by a multi-pug owner which was hilarious -- a pug under a pink hair dryer with pink rollers on its head and a pink cape -- really pug-ugly. The caption said "You're a classic beauty".

2:22 am

westford

last several years we have gone from winter to summer

2:22 am

FMitch

Oh you sound like Douglas and now I am trying to rember the name of the band that sung that song.

2:22 am

westford

lol jilli would love to see that

2:22 am

sprite

hey don't get rude, lollllll

2:23 am

jillibus

don't know how to show it to you -- you'll just have to imagine it. The pugs had a bit of pink tongue sticking out too.

2:23 am

joey

I think that it is Seasons in the Sun

2:23 am

westford

I can just see it

2:23 am

jillibus

*just one pug

2:23 am

chic

I must be going; thanx for the lovely chat... nite all.

2:24 am

herinfernallady

Terry Jacks Seasons in the SUn

2:24 am

jillibus

night chic, and good luck

2:24 am

FMitch

Talking of pink jilli - I still have a copy of Ata's version of Barbara Catland/Jilli pic on file :)

2:24 am

sprite

night chic, all the best to you

2:24 am

herinfernallady

Night CHic

2:24 am

FMitch

Thank you herin - that was going to bug me.

2:25 am

jillibus

So do I -- thought of posting it for this occasion, lol!

2:25 am

herinfernallady

I am not sure if that is the original. I had to google it

2:25 am

herinfernallady

because it has been covered alot

2:25 am

sprite

the original is french, Les Moribunds, or something like that

2:26 am

FMitch

I almost did too jilli but just went for the trad Happy Birthday approach.

2:26 am

herinfernallady

That sounds a bit morbid Sprite

2:26 am

FMitch

WE still have to get Ata to 'do' herself.

2:26 am

sprite

but the english version by Terry Jacks was not the first. From wiki: Earlier recordings had been released by The Kingston Trio, the British band The Fortunes in 1968 and by Pearls Before Swine in 1970/71.

2:27 am

westford

I just googled it written by Jacques Brel I just found out he's Belgian

2:27 am

jillibus

And a few others!

2:27 am

sprite

Le Moribund by Jacques Brel.

2:27 am

herinfernallady

I remember it from my parents

2:27 am

westford

and don't forget Rod McCuen?

2:27 am

westford

I'm sure that's the wrong spelling

2:28 am

jillibus

I'm fading fast and not seeing any more words -- still 106 to go, but bed calls!

2:28 am

sprite

it says here the original version was pretty sarcastic, dealing with the infidelity of the wife.

2:28 am

westford

Hugs and Good Night Jilli I hope the Birthday Fairy is good to you

2:29 am

FMitch

eek just realised the time I must be off and I haven't even started the grid or finished Sudoku.
Lovely chat and Happy Birthday again jilli. TTFN.

2:29 am

westford

so the 'trusted friend' was not so trusted?

2:29 am

Andree

bye jilli and have a lovely birthday

2:29 am

Andree

bye fmitch

2:29 am

herinfernallady

Night Jill and FM

2:29 am

westford

Happy Birthday My Darling Jilli...George said that

2:30 am

sprite

sleep well, birthday girl! *hugs*

2:30 am

jillibus

Night all and thanks so much for all the happy wishes -- *poof*

2:30 am

jillibus

(dear George, sigh!)

2:30 am

sprite

nope, not trusted at all. I see here a later version of the song that says:
Adieu, Francoise, my trusted wife, without you I'd have had a lonely life.
You cheated lots of times but then, I forgave you in the end though your lover was my friend.
Adieu, Francoise, it's hard to die when all the birds are singing in the sky. Now that spring is in the air
With your lovers ev'rywhere; just be careful, I'll be there.

2:31 am

sprite

which is closer to the original

2:31 am

herinfernallady

Wow that reminds me of You are my Sunshine and how creepy stalker that song is

2:31 am

flosey

hoping to finish but too tired, goodnight all

2:31 am

westford

westford

2:45 am

sandrafrances

2:45 am

gort, a fish with a load of teeth eager to bite.

2:46 am

sprite

good luck with the other half then, sandra, it is a good grid but has some tricky-to-find words.

2:46 am

westford

oh what is that called ?

2:46 am

gortmold

ah, gort blushes with befuddled embarrassment, i would have stuck an h in there

2:46 am

sprite

(pitbull guppie was a joke, or a cryptic clue)

2:46 am

westford

I know I know it

2:46 am

westford

yes I do

2:47 am

gortmold

thanks heaps sprite, i owe you at least an ember from the fireworks display

2:47 am

sprite

2:47 am

westford

2:47 am

sprite

*loves embers*
You're welcome gort!

2:49 am

westford

happy to help sprite

2:51 am

sprite

this is a good start of the day. Great grid and great chat. Happy sprite here.

2:52 am

westford

I like hearing that

2:54 am

sprite

gort, am wondering all of a sudden... did you mean you have fireworks now?

2:56 am

sprite

hmz I guess... sorry gortmold. Belated gratz and yayyyy!

2:56 am

westford

from me too

2:57 am

westford

sprite has there been any more news about Ruben?

2:57 am

sprite

about Ruben?

2:57 am

westford

I saw that he was flown home

2:58 am

westford

the young boy who survived the plane crash

2:58 am

sprite

let me check

3:01 am

sprite

yes, last saturday he arrived. They have chosen a military airport and drove him in a blinded ambulance to the hospital

3:01 am

sprite

he is doing relatively well.

3:01 am

westford

that's really good to hear

3:02 am

westford

so hard for a child to bear though

3:03 am

sprite

impossible to bear, I think. He will have a lot of help here, but trauma like this... he has a hell of a battle to do.

3:04 am

westford

we can only hope those closest to him will not let him feel guilty

3:05 am

sprite

or at least will be willing to tell him time and time again he isn't guilty.

3:05 am

westford

yes

3:06 am

westford

I'd like to think his last memories of his parents and his brother were joyous ones

3:06 am

westford

imagine going on a safari?

3:07 am

sprite

wonderful memories, I think, but also impossible to bear for now. So very very painful.

3:07 am

sprite

fireflies

3:08 am

westford

Yay sprite !!

3:08 am

sprite

anything I may help you with before I go, westie?

3:08 am

westford

I was wondering if all the ic 7's start with the cold stuff

3:08 am

westford

and thanks for asking sprite

3:09 am

sprite

no, only one does

3:10 am

westford

that helps you can't imagine the words I was trying lol

3:10 am

sprite

also, one of my unfindables today: to6/30
(an alloy, used to imitate gold, containing from 70 to 92 percent copper with zinc and sometimes tin and other materials forming the remainder)

3:10 am

sprite

lol yes, I know the feeling!

3:11 am

westford

I will look for that one..they use an alloy to imitate gold?

3:11 am

sprite

all the rest is either relatively normal or not unknown to babblers.

3:11 am

westford

must be what they put in those ATM machines

3:11 am

sprite

apparently yes. Totally new word for me.

3:12 am

sprite

lol! Ok, am gonna poof. Be well, dear westie, and *hugs*

3:12 am

westford

you too sprite and hugs

3:13 am

westford

3:21 am

westford

I am well thank you and I have 163

3:21 am

sandyloo

hehehe

3:21 am

westford

I am cleaning my oven and can't go to bed it smells awful

3:21 am

westford

I think it's getting ready to burst into flames

3:22 am

sandyloo

I am about to feed horses and then cook dinner and of course have a glass of wine

3:22 am

westford

all in that order?

3:23 am

westford

was a chicken that ruined my oven today with all the splattering

3:23 am

sandyloo

West, I hate to admit this - one night I thought I had turned the oven off, but I had actually turned it full on. At 2am in the morning (i am not kidding) i awoke to hear a voice saying to me "go out to the kitchen " I couldnt get the words out of my head and i went - the oven was on fire!!

3:24 am

westford

that was so lucky

3:24 am

sandyloo

It was amazing - that is a true story

3:24 am

westford

someone was watching out for you

3:24 am

sandyloo

the little voice kept saying to me "go out to the kitchen ' over and over

3:25 am

sandyloo

they were that night!

3:26 am

sandyloo

Husband and I got the hose into the house (not good for electrical fires) and caused havoc! I rang the insurance the next day and they delivered a brand new oven

3:26 am

westford

were your children young then?

3:26 am

sandyloo

they were about 12 down to 2 - lucky for them

3:27 am

westford

lucky for all of you

3:27 am

westford

and I'm sure you check and recheck that oven dial now

3:27 am

westford

and so will I

3:27 am

sandyloo

Lol, you wouldn't believe how often I forget to turn it off

3:28 am

westford

I do that too

3:28 am

westford

and wonder why it's so warm near the stove lol

3:28 am

sandyloo

Still, what would life be if there was no excitement

3:28 am

westford

pretty dull

3:29 am

westford

what news of your husband?

3:29 am

sandyloo

I have to go, I have to check the horse as we went on a long ride this morning it was lovely

3:29 am

sandyloo

see you soon

3:29 am

westford

how nice you lead an idyllic life I think

3:30 am

westford

okay I'll be here

3:30 am

sandyloo

oh the husband! he has pneumonia - he is on antibiotics - he is feeling well but still has pain in the side - it could have been anything so i am grateful

3:30 am

westford

so happy to hear that

3:31 am

sandyloo

Reminds me ....must get him insured!

3:31 am

sandyloo

bbl

3:32 am

westford

big hugs for the horsies

4:04 am

Atalante

gosh where is everyone!

4:06 am

westford

hi ata off to feed the horses

4:06 am

westford

I was reading emails and daughter has suggested a cruise out of Long Beach in Dec

4:07 am

westford

we'll be in San Diego for the holidays anyway so sounds like a good deal

4:07 am

Atalante

ooo lovely!

4:08 am

westford

just a short one but think it will be fun

4:08 am

westford

so cold here now

4:09 am

Atalante

where to? down to Mexico area?

4:09 am

westford

yes to Encinata

4:09 am

Atalante

ooo lovely!

4:09 am

Atalante

warmth!

4:10 am

westford

I know

4:10 am

westford

getting there will be a pain

4:10 am

westford

but it's on 17 Dec so we should beat the holiday crowd

4:10 am

Atalante

just :)

4:11 am

westford

maybe we'll go a week early and spend some time in SF

4:11 am

Atalante

always fun to do!

4:12 am

westford

I was just checking the news and more volcanic ash is messing up Heathrow again?

4:12 am

Atalante

yep, Heathrow and Gatwick both closed :(

4:13 am

westford

same volcano ?

4:13 am

Atalante

yep!

4:13 am

westford

everything seems to be erupting

4:13 am

Atalante

it hasn't stopped erupting from a few weeks ago

4:14 am

westford

and how are you doing? knee any better?

4:15 am

Atalante

I don't really know - one day it feels ok, the next day it's horribly painful again! I need to get a physio appointment sorted today

4:16 am

westford

I'm sorry I hope that helps. Have they talked about surgery?

4:17 am

Atalante

no, luckily. apparently it's standard with medial ligaments just to let them heal. Cruciates are a different matter!

4:17 am

westford

probably when it feels ok you overdo

4:18 am

Atalante

probably! it's so easy to do

4:18 am

westford

be careful

4:18 am

Atalante

I'm trying :)

4:18 am

westford

I never did hear how it happened were you alone?

4:20 am

Atalante

yep, walking the dog. had to walk about mile and half back across the heathland to the few houses on the little island I was on. With Hobbit constantly running off to try and chase rabbits *facepalm*!

4:20 am

westford

yikes poor you

4:21 am

Atalante

I was just desperately glad I could hobble back!

4:21 am

westford

in a perfect world Hobbit would have run for help and brought back a bottle of wine

4:22 am

Atalante

oh yes. but she came over, looked a bit quizically at me, licked my nose, then buggered off to get rabbits. brat dog!

4:22 am

westford

maybe she was going to make you a coat to keep you warm

4:23 am

Atalante

that would have been nice

4:23 am

westford

just happy you're okay

4:23 am

Atalante

so I eventually found one of the coastguard men and he took me back to his house, fetched an ambulance person, and they got me onto the next boat to go over to the main island to the hospital there. hurray!

4:24 am

westford

Ata's Amazing Adventure

4:24 am

Atalante

I'm ok. My right knee has been a consistent pain in the backside since I was about 10, so it's not totally new! I'm just very quickly getting cabin fever

4:25 am

westford

and I hear the weather is quite nice over there now

4:25 am

Atalante

it's lovely!

4:25 am

westford

after the winter you've had it's about time

4:25 am

Atalante

I'm getting a picnic bench thing for the garden today. HUsband just has to put it together then I can sit outside with hobbit

4:26 am

westford

sounds nice is he good at putting things together or putting things off?

4:27 am

Atalante

both!

4:27 am

westford

lol

4:27 am

Atalante

normally I'd do it myself, but .....

4:28 am

westford

I hope he gets it done soon

4:28 am

Atalante

me too!

4:28 am

westford

and feeds you grapes in the bargain

4:29 am

Atalante

I think that might be pushing it for him ...

4:30 am

westford

and I can't imagine you swooning

4:31 am

Atalante

noooooo

4:32 am

lynxxx

I am sure he would bring you a cup of tea in the garden though. Hello West and Ata

4:32 am

westford

hi lyn

4:33 am

Atalante

he would ... maybe!

4:35 am

lynxxx

goodness, wondered what your icon was...not very attractive is it!

4:35 am

Atalante

how are you and Stew, Lyn?

4:35 am

Atalante

not really!! it's a little bit restricting!

4:36 am

lynxxx

We are well and much more mobile than your poor self.

4:36 am

lynxxx

I have been enjoying the new DrW. Like him and the new look very much

4:37 am

Atalante

isn't he *lovely*

4:37 am

Atalante

I know FM isn't impressed, but I think he's great

4:38 am

lynxxx

How long will you be in this "chastity belt for a leg"?

4:38 am

lynxxx

I love the way they are filming it - a new Director I assume

4:38 am

Atalante

about a month I think

4:39 am

Atalante

yes, I think so

4:40 am

lynxxx

and you are in the contraption constantly? or off for showering etc?

4:40 am

Atalante

off for changing clothes, off for the *occasional* shower (gah!!)

4:42 am

lynxxx

I feel for you. Still You will be able to gets lots of 'seated' stuff done (with your leg propped up I guess). Hope you are being productive! BBS dinner has just been served - lucky me

4:42 am

FMitch

phew thank goodness for that *hugs*

4:43 am

Andree

hi everyone, just reading back, poor ata, at least you can still babble

4:43 am

lynxxx

hi FM & Andree. BBS

4:43 am

Atalante

hi FM! hi Andree!!

4:43 am

Atalante

babble, read, kind of paint, watch tv :)

4:44 am

FMitch

Hi and bye lynxx and hello again Andree.
Just got back from the garden centre.

4:45 am

FMitch

How is the grid today?

4:45 am

Atalante

not too bad so far

4:46 am

Andree

stuff to plant, lucky you

4:46 am

FMitch

Oh my there is a biplane flying over as i type

4:46 am

Atalante

ooo lovely!

4:46 am

FMitch

oh and Ata saw a chinook a couple of days ago too.

4:47 am

Atalante

yay!

4:47 am

FMitch

I love it here - never got to see such things in Ascot *grin* apart from the lesser spotted chav with or without hat etc :).

4:48 am

Atalante

but race fashion was certainly a sight

4:48 am

FMitch

true true, but we can rely on Haz for her links to the how not to do fashion.

4:49 am

FMitch

Has she made an appearance today yet?

4:51 am

FMitch

am I talking to myself and if so, should I answer my own question?

4:51 am

westford

hello FM and Andree was getting coffee

4:52 am

FMitch

Hi westie, yr icon is still making me smile, hope that Haz will see it too.

4:53 am

Atalante

no, no Haz yet

4:53 am

westford

I had no idea that Jilli has claimed George as her own

4:54 am

Atalante

not sure Haz knows that either!

4:54 am

FMitch

George was mine first until I leant him to Haz. She forets that but Scrabbler will have something to say about the matter too.

4:55 am

westford

I think a Babble meet with George invited would be so much fun..talk about fireworks

4:55 am

FMitch

a meet of any kind with George would be fireworks!!

4:55 am

Andree

yay george

4:55 am

westford

mmmmm

4:56 am

FMitch

although in all honesty he does not float my boat.

4:56 am

FMitch

Sean Connery is more my type.

4:56 am

westford

that accent melts me

4:57 am

westford

he gets better as he gets older

4:58 am

FMitch

but of course there are some georgous babblers too crossy, ruru, montie to name but a few!

4:59 am

westford

oh yes and don't forget Tim (but he's taken )

4:59 am

FMitch

:)

5:00 am

FMitch

phone, back in a bit.

5:00 am

Andree

so is george[taken] but who cares

5:01 am

westford

he is ? I thought he was still available

5:03 am

westford

5:38 am

Atalante

brb pup wants out

5:39 am

westford

I decided to clean the oven ..thought I'd just press a button but it smelled so bad and got all smoky I figured I'd better stay here

5:39 am

lynxxx

Oh!

5:40 am

westford

once it's on it can't be shut off

5:40 am

westford

but sure beats cleaning it by hand

5:40 am

crosshair

those auto clean ovens only really work if you do it once a month sort of thing.i have to chisel mine out soon as well

5:40 am

westford

it has been a long time and tonight I had a very splattery chicken

5:41 am

westford

last night that is

5:43 am

lynxxx

I hate cleaning the oven. We had it cleaned by an exernal service last time. That was a bad decision - $s and made all the racks rusty

5:44 am

westford

so whatever they used must have been very caustic

5:44 am

westford

did they offer to replace the racks?

5:45 am

lynxxx

Must have been, wasn't around and husband wouldn't have bothered looking

5:46 am

lynxxx

No, lol - just told us we needed new ones. Live and learn I guess

5:46 am

westford

I know what you mean

5:46 am

lynxxx

You have inspired me...think I'll do mine tomorrow

5:47 am

crosshair

good used ovens run around 150-200 here,just easier to get another one every 10 years or so lol

5:47 am

westford

happy to help lol

5:47 am

westford

but mine is attached to the stove

5:48 am

crosshair

as is mine

5:48 am

westford

you mean you can just replace the oven?

5:48 am

lynxxx

We are so NOT handy - we have an under-bench type, I bet it would cost us a lot with installation included

5:48 am

westford

now you tell me lol

5:48 am

crosshair

why bother oven and four burners usually come as a single unit anyways

5:49 am

crosshair

ours do anyways

5:49 am

westford

ours is fairly new and matches the other appliances

5:49 am

crosshair

oh..mm

5:50 am

westford

I think the time is up I'm going to check on it brb

5:51 am

westford

it's not perfect but it's about 95% better than it was

5:52 am

lynxxx

Sounds good enough to me!

5:52 am

westford

and with that I'm off to bed for a few hours take care all

5:53 am

6:13 am

Trifioso

good morning friends. John Barrowman (sp?) got blown to smithereens on Desperate Housewives here last night....isn't he someones celebrity love in the chog?

6:14 am

crosshair

good morning trif;)

6:14 am

lynxxx

Hi Trif. Ata fancies him from afar

6:15 am

Trifioso

well, she would have lots of places to fancy him after last night! boom

6:15 am

Trifioso

good morning crossy, my dear one

6:15 am

lynxxx

but then again I think everyone does, he seems a bit of a devil

6:15 am

Trifioso

btw, did you take the photo in your icon, crossy?

6:16 am

Trifioso

but he bats for the other team, yes?

6:16 am

crosshair

? im sorry im on my first tea..what photo?

6:16 am

lynxxx

Yes

6:17 am

Trifioso

the one in your icon, crossy, of the wolf in the grass? thought maybe it was a shot taken in your back yard?

6:17 am

crosshair

oh ,no trif.that is one of my older stock wolf photos

6:18 am

Trifioso

okay, thanks. great shot, anyway. love the dignified look on that one's face

6:18 am

crosshair

it is reduced from a larger picture,so im afraid he appears a bit squashed

6:22 am

crosshair

i am about 2 hour drive south from Ontario timber wolf country.when i go visit my da,i will often take a camera into algonquin park and try for some fresh pictures\

6:22 am

Trifioso

I am having such major time management problems at the moment....it's one of my worst areas. I don't have to work today, and the thought of a whole unstructured day ahead is overwhelming....I make lists, but I am not remotely realistic about how much I can actually get done in a day, and thus end up feeling so angry at myself for not getting 'everything' on it done....sigh

6:23 am

Trifioso

timberwolves are nicer than regular ones, or nastier than regular ones? don't know much about wolves, I am afraid. coyote country with me....

6:23 am

crosshair

do NOT make a list..pick a room or a task,start it,finish it then move on

6:23 am

crosshair

or make a list,put one thing on it,then make another list lol

6:23 am

Trifioso

yes, I will try that. Do have a couple of big projects I need to clear off the decks, and it would be amazingly freeing to see the back of them....

6:24 am

crosshair

take a coyote multiply its size by 4 and your close

6:24 am

Trifioso

LOL crossy! I have actually started going the other way with lists - I only list what I have actually accomplished, and thus at the end of a day, if I am feeling all mad at myself for "not getting anything done!" I can look at it for proof that I actually did contribute something

6:25 am

lynxxx

I used to do that at work Trif - and was always happy to get about half done. Undone just goes on the next list. Do the same now that I am retired. Don't be so hard on yourself - you know what, no-one else cares!

6:25 am

Trifioso

wow, that is really scary! especially if you consider the coyotes around here, which are as sleek and well fed as huskies, given their diet of pet cats, small dogs, and of course, my chickens

6:25 am

Trifioso

thanks lynxxx

6:25 am

crosshair

we used to make lists..all we did was spend 4 hours making lists lol

6:26 am

Trifioso

sometimes they are helpful, lists. I tend to forget stuff, so a list helps me remember to pick something up, or do a particular thing. it's just another tool, isn't it?

6:27 am

crosshair

today for example i have 2 tasks.making the kitchen spic and span,then the second list is to change the bathroom sink taps

6:27 am

Trifioso

very cool, crossy. are you re-fitting the entire bathroom, or just the taps?

6:27 am

Trifioso

and can you promise me something? (wifey-type question to follow)......

6:28 am

crosshair

after the wife and i go for walkies through the towns local arboredum so i can pick a pretty flower for her hair;0

6:28 am

crosshair

just taps today

6:28 am

Trifioso

are the taps broken in some way?

6:28 am

crosshair

yest,the base is coming apart from the rest of it and it leaks

6:30 am

crosshair

i usually have to swap out the taps about once every 5 years

6:30 am

Trifioso

okay. crossy, you know I love you, we all do, but you are, after all a man, so I ask the next question with the greatest respect and love for the sanity of my gender.....do you PROMISE to throw away, dispose of, or otherwise totally remove the broken taps from your house, and not put them on a shelf in the basement or shed somewhere, in case you "need it again someday?" I promise you - I really do - you will never, ever need a set of broken taps.

6:31 am

crosshair

i do not need a broken tap set lol

6:31 am

Trifioso

you are a good man, crossy. a real exception and a credit to your gender!

6:31 am

crosshair

we live in an appt,so i have no garage to store junk lol

6:31 am

crosshair

well.....i have 3 boxes of my old records..and no record player lol

6:32 am

Trifioso

seriosly? that is a surprise! I envision you out in some canadian paradise, a la the house from Legends of the Fall....

6:32 am

crosshair

i have a sterio that has not been played in 10 years lol

6:32 am

Trifioso

keep it!!! one day young crossy will discover the joys of vinal, and then you will have a fine old time, believe me!

6:32 am

crosshair

i am in paradice trif,i am at the base of blue mtn on the shores of georgian bay

6:34 am

Trifioso

god help us all - the horny cardinal is back at his post, singing his fool heart out. that poor bird! if I knew how to do it, I would hire him a birdie hooker

6:34 am

crosshair

though i did rid of my 4 boxes of old 8-track tapes lol

6:35 am

Trifioso

oh lawd, remember those? ha ha ha

6:35 am

crosshair

enjoy it trif,cardinals are rare here,we get inundated with screeching blue jays

6:35 am

crosshair

lol remember them? i had them till last year lol

6:36 am

Trifioso

when I was in high school, our youth group went to appalachia for a service project. the people we were working with had one 8 track tape - Molly Hatchet - and played it for a week straight. to this day, even my 75 year old mother can sing "flirting with disaster" in it's entirety

6:37 am

Trifioso

bus stop, brb

6:37 am

crosshair

sigh,pop in a tape of cream or boston,light the lava lamp,put on a pair of bell bottom cords and groove to the tunage :)

6:38 am

crosshair

i can still hear in my mind the KERRRR-CHUNK! as my machine used to change tracks

6:39 am

crosshair

for a while i used to play around with a 16 track reel to reel,even today i can still spice tape like a pro lol

6:40 am

FMitch

sighs with crossy after kicking off espadrills. as am too tall already.

6:42 am

crosshair

and i still hide 3 cases of old cassette tapes under the bed trif,so i have not strayed too far from the norm lol

6:46 am

crosshair

and in the closet i still have 5 or 5 of my old fuzzy lumberjack type shirts,my shoulders are too wide for them now as they are 20 years old or more,but the wife likes them as a night shirt

6:47 am

Trifioso

back. I still have all my old casettes and albums too. Primo is digging the old vinyls (okay, NOT the xanadu soundtrack, but whatevs....) and it's nice to see him discover some great old music.

6:47 am

FMitch

awe crossie you are such a good guy!

6:48 am

crosshair

lol i have a actual 1979 d.j demo record ,it is a 12 inch 45 r.p.m of blondie singing her heart of glass tune..in a 17 minute disco form ..shudder lol

6:48 am

Trifioso

besides, a lot of my old stuff was never pressed into cds, so there you go. Primo got some dosh for christmas last year and bought one of those turntables that converts to mp3s. great idea!

6:48 am

Trifioso

one of my friends in college used to work at the radio station on campus, and I remember he had a bunch of dr. demento's shows on vinyl....

6:49 am

sandyloo

6:49 am

crosshair

6:49 am

Trifioso

6:50 am

Trifioso

6:50 am

sandyloo

6:51 am

sandyloo

Just to know they have normal foibles

6:51 am

Trifioso

6:51 am

crosshair

lol remember im u.k born and me and my da used to watch monty pythons flying circus when it used to play

6:52 am

sandyloo

We are big monty fans

Trifioso

6:52 am

crosshair

6:53 am

sandyloo

well, that is something all of us didn't know about lumberjacks in the past

6:53 am

Trifioso

a bowl of organic cinnamon granola with yogurl on top, and then blueberries and strawberries tossed on to up the ante

6:53 am

crosshair

good lord...

6:53 am

Trifioso

6:53 am

crosshair

6:54 am

Trifioso

I am telling you, it should be orgasmic cinnamon granola....

6:54 am

sandyloo

Crossy, how about an icon photo in your lumberjack shirt (and just a hint of the rest)

6:54 am

crosshair

sorry i gave up wearing ladies dresses and hanging round in bars lol

6:55 am

Trifioso

sandy, he already said his shoulders are too wide for the shirts now...can only imagine how the suspenders and bra would fit

6:55 am

crosshair

anyways i cannot get my shoulders into them anymore

6:56 am

crosshair

poor lumberjacks..so misunderstood

6:56 am

sandyloo

slice it down the back , we will never know!

6:57 am

Trifioso

wish that would work with the prom dress I am making....

6:57 am

crosshair

lol sandy,your naughty.crossy is going to have to get the ping pong paddle with the speed holes drilled in it

6:59 am

sandyloo

hmmm, haven't heard of lumberjacks with ping pong paddles , but then...it fits in

6:59 am

crosshair

the paddle is for you,not me

7:01 am

sandyloo

hmmm, well my daughter gives all her friends paddles for presents when they get engaged...i'm far too innocent to understand

7:01 am

crosshair

poor sandy,too sheltered

7:01 am

sandyloo

indeed i am

7:02 am

crosshair

we have to get you out more;)

7:03 am

sandyloo

too devoted to looking after my husband to get out. Just want to do dishes and wash his clothes and cook his meals! and of course never go shopping!

7:03 am

crosshair

well time for a walkabout,bbs..semi=poof

7:03 am

Trifioso

I think I just spit up a little, sandy....

7:03 am

Trifioso

have a nice walk with the mrs, crossy!

7:04 am

JBV

good morning - hi sandy, Trif, and bye crossy

7:04 am

JBV

Trif did you say you are making a prom dress - can't let that just slip by - that's a major undertaking - tell us more....

7:04 am

sandyloo

Trif, I'm sorry to have that affect on you - this is what aussie women are born for!(furtively looks around for aussie women)

7:07 am

lynxxx

back in a minute - feeling suddenly sick

7:07 am

sandyloo

damn! Lynxx was lurking! She just won't admit it!

7:07 am

herinfernallady

snort

7:08 am

JBV

trif must be "enjoying" her breakfast...

7:08 am

herinfernallady

Now this should bring out English people But here is a random but true fact. More bondage places hire more staff in Aus when the English Cricket team tour (ducks)

7:08 am

sandyloo

oh no! another lurker!

7:09 am

herinfernallady

I came here to get the link for Sudoku.

7:09 am

Trifioso

sorry JBV - had gone over to FB for a minute...anyway, yes, I am making a prom dress for Primo's date.

7:09 am

Trifioso

It is a goth fest. sigh

7:10 am

herinfernallady

Awww Trifs. What sort of Dress?

7:10 am

JBV

herin, I use : www.websudoku.com

7:10 am

sandyloo

what about a pic on your icon, trif

7:10 am

JBV

for your son's date? wow! I nominate you for mother of the year

7:10 am

lynxxx

Good to see the English maintaining their traditions

7:11 am

Trifioso

white underdress with a black overdress. yes, will post photos when it does not look like a pile of fabric, but an actual dress

7:11 am

herinfernallady

JB I was using Iron Sudoku but I will mark it down for later.

7:11 am

Trifioso

they paid for the fabric, jbv....

7:11 am

JBV

what fabric, trif?

7:11 am

Trifioso

right now I hate it beyond words.

7:11 am

JBV

oh, ok, runner-up for mother of the year

7:12 am

Trifioso

its a white satin underdress. that fabric is actually quite nice - has a jacquard print on it with silver threads and sparkly bits...the black over dress is black matte satin and it is quite nice on its own, as it hangs beautifully and is pretty light weight so it will move well when they are dancing

7:13 am

JBV

very nice - sounds beautiful

7:13 am

Trifioso

I am just at that stage in the process where there have been a few adjustments that needed to be made and I just can't seem to get this dress to behave as I want it to. I am like this with every sewing project, trust me. mind you, prom is friday, so I am setting myself strict babble time lines today

7:13 am

JBV

brings back memories from long ago - my mom made my prom dress - apple green shantung underdress and pink and green apple blossom chiffon over. I sewed the sequins on myself

7:14 am

Trifioso

long or tea length jbv?

7:14 am

Trifioso

and I need to make primo his vest to match, but vests are 2 hours, so no worries there

7:14 am

JBV

long - oh and she made a long-sleeved coat to go over it - i'll find the picture somewhere and post it

7:14 am

wildcat17

lucky kids ... can't wait to see the pics

7:14 am

Trifioso

it sounds amazing! do you stil have it?

7:15 am

JBV

we cut it down and I wore it several times after - no longer have that, but I still have a few special things she made. We were into recycling. Have a pillowcase made from my 8th grade dress - printed polished cotton

7:16 am

sandyloo

I am looking forward to the photos

7:16 am

JBV

I remember the fittings as if it were yesterday - all those pins sticking in me everywhere

7:16 am

herinfernallady

awww JB that is wonderful.

7:16 am

sandyloo

don't know why I have such trouble with the 4 letter words!

7:17 am

Trifioso

I recycle clothes all the time, a la Project Runway....especially when I find clothes on the deep discount rack somewhere like old navy. I bought a dress there a couple of years ago for a whopping .98, and made it into a shirt that I love and wear all the time. excellent R o I !

7:17 am

gran

Clue please for de 7/32

7:17 am

herinfernallady

My cat is yowling for his daddy

7:17 am

JBV

so you buy them for the fabric? great idea

7:18 am

Trifioso

yes, I do.

7:18 am

Trifioso

but only if they are wicked cheap, it is a fabric I really like, and I think I will wear it

7:18 am

sandyloo

Clever Trif

7:18 am

Trifioso

otherwise it just becomes more clutter in my "to do" pile and who needs the guilt?

7:18 am

herinfernallady

I have hand stitched elbow high gauntlet style gloves velvet and I lost them on the first night I wore them.

7:19 am

Trifioso

that smarts herin!

7:19 am

Haz1558

de7/32 - latin plural of a Roman coin.

7:19 am

herinfernallady

What Haz said. I was getting there

7:19 am

JBV

oh that's too bad, herin

7:20 am

Trifioso

funny - that has no singular....

7:20 am

Haz1558

de7/32 - it ends in two vowels tacked to the end of short Mr Onassis.

7:20 am

JBV

time for me to be off - see you later and good luck with the grid

7:20 am

herinfernallady

I remember I also recycled the tops off stockings, turned the elastic lace bit into a wrist holder for my cards when I went clubing

7:21 am

Trifioso

bye jbs

7:21 am

Trifioso

jbv, even, sorry!

7:21 am

7:23 am

FMitch

7:23 am

Trifioso

7:23 am

Haz1558

Absolutely. It's a strategy I've used before.

7:24 am

gran

Last one - as 5/10 - not seeing it

7:24 am

Haz1558

Is it just me or is this not a very fast grid?

7:25 am

lynxxx

as5.10 ends like curved yellow fruit

7:25 am

FMitch

good ploy Haz!I found it jumpy and bitty and not that much fun.

7:25 am

lynxxx

not fast for me

7:25 am

gran

Thanks and finished!

7:25 am

Haz1558

Oh good, it's not just me.

7:26 am

Haz1558

Congratulations, gran!

7:26 am

lynxxx

Congrats Gran!

7:26 am

sandyloo

not fast for me 50 left

7:26 am

Trifioso

I got the first 100 without thinking much about it, and then it sort of slowed down, and now I have 87 left and have been getting nowhere for ages

7:26 am

FMitch

Congrats gran.

7:26 am

Trifioso

but I love the chog....

7:27 am

sandyloo

FMitch

*hums the thong song just for sandy*

7:28 am

sandyloo

Mitch, have you had the cleaner again today? (and I don't mean in the biblical sense)

7:28 am

Trifioso

I was hoping ata might saunter by... have some john barrowman news to share with her

7:28 am

lynxxx

please don't start her off

7:28 am

sandyloo

she was here earlier

7:29 am

Haz1558

7:29 am

sandyloo

7:29 am

FMitch

lol no he is not due again until the 25th.

7:29 am

lynxxx

FM/Sandy

7:30 am

Trifioso

well, he got blown to smithereens last night on desperate housewives, if it makes you feel any better

7:30 am

Haz1558

I wonder if his teeth stayed intact? He always seems to have more teeth than can feasibly fit into a mouth. (JB that is)

7:30 am

FMitch

Oh Haz you have to see Westies icon - George witha pup. We had much discussion about him and you this morning.

George with a pup? Thank goodness it's not a rabbit, or you know who might claim victory.

7:31 am

FMitch

Scrabs has yet to see the pic or the chat :)

7:31 am

Trifioso

oh please, let's not talk of rabbits...still in mourning here...

7:32 am

Haz1558

Finding Westford's icon.....

7:32 am

sandyloo

why the mourning - I have missed something?

7:32 am

FMitch

Oh dear Trif, loss of bunnies?

7:32 am

Trifioso

we lost our house bunny last week...poor cinnamon bun....he had a good life though....I still look in his corner and expect him to be there...snif

7:33 am

FMitch

awe (((Trif)))

7:33 am

Trifioso

the kids took it well, though...secondo helped with the burial, and we laid him on his favorite bed, said a few decent words...your basic home/pet funeral

7:34 am

Trifioso

no, wait, that was tertiare....geesh, I even confuse their nicknames! sad

7:35 am

Haz1558

Leaving a decent interval before I start remarking on how nice Westford's profile pic is.

7:35 am

EvaNadine

mornin babblers!

7:35 am

Trifioso

remark away!

7:35 am

sandyloo

oh, sorry to hear that Trif, I hate to hear of losing pets - I think ours will be around for ever

7:35 am

Haz1558

I'll keep it open, just for a bit of inspiration for this grid.

7:35 am

lynxxx

hi Eva

7:35 am

Haz1558

Hello EvaNadine.

7:36 am

sandyloo

hi Eva

7:36 am

FMitch

lol Haz.

7:36 am

FMitch

Here we go again with the open/shutdown of UK airspace.

7:37 am

Haz1558

We've been shut down for a couple of days now.

7:37 am

sandyloo

That volcano could go on for years

7:37 am

Trifioso

this is how pathetic I am....I thought the George in question was a Westie, and had a puppy, and that is what the icon photo was....DUH

7:37 am

Soodle

Hello everybody :)

7:37 am

Haz1558

Husband's business partner was supposed to go to Portugal for a week's golf. That's been scrapped.

7:37 am

Trifioso

morning dear soodle!!!

7:38 am

sandyloo

hi sood

7:38 am

FMitch

True HAz, and a number of the small souther airfields ahve been shut too a nd now HEathrow and Gatwick affected.

7:38 am

FMitch

LOL Trif!!!

7:38 am

Haz1558

For the purposes of clarity, when George is mentioned, it is invariably George Clooney. The man who has had to take a restraining order out against a certain babbling paediatrician who claims fiancee rights. It's sad, really.

7:38 am

FMitch

and Hi Soodle.

7:38 am

Haz1558

Hello, Soodle.

7:39 am

EvaNadine

how are we all this morning?

7:39 am

Soodle

Dublin Airport is opening as I type... What a mess

7:39 am

Anniebrook

Has George been sighted?

7:39 am

Trifioso

I have a sneaking suspicion that mr. clooney plays for the other team....you heard it here first!

7:39 am

sandyloo

love your icon and your blurb sood

7:39 am

mom2han8

I feel the same way about Johnny Depp.

7:39 am

mom2han8

Very protective, LOL.

7:39 am

Haz1558

Hello, Annie. Westford has an icon pic of him for jillibus' birthday.

7:39 am

FMitch

Can I remind you that I was with George first and only leant him to you for a week 4 years ago and have never seen him back here since then!!!!

7:40 am

Soodle

:)

7:40 am

Haz1558

George likes the comfort of my understairs cupboard. What can I say?

7:40 am

Anniebrook

Jilli's birthday and George in one day..wonderful

7:40 am

Trifioso

hmmm. where jonny depp is concerned I feel probably the case is that he is more, um, flexible as to which team someone is on. All cats are grey in the dark, as they say

7:40 am

FMitch

pffft

7:41 am

Haz1558

Was that a raspberry, FM?

7:41 am

sandyloo

who is this george, Mitch?

7:41 am

mom2han8

I don't want a relationship with him, LOL... so I don't especially care.

7:41 am

FMitch

George Clooney - used to be a mate of mine.

7:42 am

sandyloo

Mitch, is George a previous cleaner who is now under your stairs?

7:42 am

Soodle

I may have asked you before, Haz, but when your finished with George, could you make him a packed lunch, pat him on the head, and point him southwards?

7:42 am

sandyloo

I heard Mr Clooney is gay

7:42 am

Trifioso

"point him southwards" sounds naughty, soodle!

7:42 am

Anniebrook

Horrors!

7:42 am

lynxxx

...and wears thongs

7:42 am

FMitch

Haz now has her claws into him but Scrabbler believes she is engaged to him **Grin**

7:43 am

mom2han8

I would really be shocked to discover that George Clooney is gay.

7:43 am

mom2han8

The thong might be interesting.

7:43 am

Soodle

Remember Rock Hudson???

7:43 am

Trifioso

I am not sure anything shocks me anymore.

7:43 am

mom2han8

Rock always had that feminine side.

7:43 am

FMitch

sandy you are doing nothing for my reputation!

7:44 am

sandyloo

There is a site on the internet 'Is George Clooney gay?"

7:44 am

Soodle

Trif! I meant Geographically. Sheesh >: )

7:44 am

Trifioso

LOL

7:44 am

sandyloo

Mitch, we all have our likes and dislikes

7:45 am

mom2han8

theres a site on the internet for everything, LOL.

7:45 am

FMitch

and on that point sandy I return to comments made early this morning re Sean Connery.

7:45 am

Trifioso

I wonder why it still matters... I hate the old argument that "well, then no one would ever buy him as a romantic lead again." uh, people, it's a MOVIE. I don't think Tom Hanks is actually as astronaut, but I love Apollo 13

7:45 am

sandyloo

LOL - but I did hear it from someone who has been to a party with him

7:45 am

sandyloo

Doesn't matter to me or Mitch

7:45 am

Soodle

Tom Hanks not an astronaut?????? My illusions are being shattered with every entry in todays chog.

7:45 am

mom2han8

Tom Hanks is not an astronaut???

7:46 am

mom2han8

Or a gay man from Philadelphia? Or a Harvard symbologist???

7:46 am

Soodle

Or a little boy who grew up real fast?

7:46 am

Trifioso

sorry ladies, he is merely an actor. a very, very good actor. now, shall I tell you about the man inside the Mickey Mouse costume at Disneyworld?

7:46 am

FMitch

we can dream but I do remember being devastated when I found out that Cliff Richard was gay ( I was only 12 at the time).

7:46 am

sandyloo

Hey Mitch - Sean Connery can't be gay with that gorgeous voice

7:47 am

FMitch

Sean can be whatever he wants with that voice and chest hair :)

7:47 am

Trifioso

I was way WAY more upset to hear Sean Connery say that if a woman is getting "out of line" it's okay to give her a rap in the mouth. classy!

7:47 am

mom2han8

My opinion of Sean Connery is that he is probably not so discriminating in the bedroom...

7:47 am

pabtrek

WHAT CLIFF RICHARD IS GAY, SAY IT ISN'T SO.

7:47 am

mom2han8

Yes Trif... I was just going to say that.

7:47 am

sandyloo

You are all stopping me from doing the puzzle - I have 49 left and am now going to be a lurker

7:47 am

mom2han8

I don't even know who Cliff Richard is, LOL.

7:48 am

pabtrek

where was I when this came out (pun intended) :)

7:48 am

Trifioso

thanks mom. bummer, wasn't it? he ranks right up there with mel gibson on the evolutionary ladder

7:48 am

mom2han8

I did see Sean Connery at the opera a couple of years ago... holy guacamole is he sexy as hell in person... kilt and all...

7:48 am

FMitch

lol pap.

7:48 am

Trifioso

all this is nancy boy's cue to appear....where is our dear boy today?

7:49 am

Soodle

Oooh. Men in kilts. Yum yum

7:49 am

mom2han8

Never a big Mel fan to begin with.

7:49 am

Trifioso

probably at a club somewhere with Sean and George....

7:49 am

Trifioso

I made mr. hate a kilt once....let me see if I can dig up a photo...

7:49 am

Soodle

Russell Crowe in a skirt in Gladiator...... Maximus!

7:50 am

FMitch

Minimus!

7:50 am

mom2han8

Let me tell you, I nearly fell out of my chair... I actually audibly gasped.. the news was filming and two seconds later my mother texted me to say that I looked hysterical on TV gasping at Sean Connery... who kind of smirked at me...

7:50 am

mom2han8

I have to tell you... Russell Crowe does absolutely nothing for me.

7:51 am

pabtrek

mom2, Sean Connery looked at you, you lucky woman

7:51 am

Soodle

Oh, but he was something else in Gladiator. (slight swoon)

7:51 am

Boobear

hi all

7:52 am

FMitch

Hi Boo.

7:52 am

rubyfoo

hello everybody

7:52 am

mom2han8

you have no idea pab! It was so funny... I was talking to someone next to me... they stopped talking and looked over my head... so I turned... and there he was... and I gasped so loudly that he looked at me and smirked... too funny.

7:52 am

Soodle

Hi Boo, Hi Rubes :)

7:52 am

pabtrek

and it was caught on film too LOL

7:53 am

FMitch

lol mom, what a lovely tale.

Hi ruby.

7:53 am

mom2han8

He had on the full regalia.... gorgeous... and he has great legs.

7:53 am

mom2han8

Yes Pab... probably not my finest hour, LOL.

7:53 am

lynxxx

stop it , stop it right now Mom - you are making me jealous!

7:54 am

lynxxx

Hi Ruby & Boo

7:54 am

mom2han8

I could do the Letterman segment "Brush with Greatness"... don't know if he still does that one??

7:54 am

Trifioso

that is so cool!

7:54 am

sandyloo

Just to change the subject, Nicky is watching a show called "Toddlers and Tiaras" she is calling it the 'Mini prostitutes show" is this for real???

7:54 am

mom2han8

You see lots of people unexpectedly in NYC... but this was opening night at the Metropolitan Opera and there were stars galore on the red carpet...

7:55 am

mom2han8

Yes sandy... this is for real.

7:55 am

Trifioso

yes, it is a real show, and it is DISGUSTING - televised child abuse

7:55 am

mom2han8

OMG Trif... I was just going to say that these women should be in jail!

7:55 am

Trifioso

that is one of my favorite things about new york. I have yet to be there, even for a weekend, without a celebrity sighting. heaven!

7:55 am

pabtrek

I've never seen, but I've heard about, totally disgusting

7:55 am

sandyloo

Dr phil calls them 'pedophiles paradise' and I agree with you Trif, I hardly think it teaches them good values

7:56 am

mom2han8

ONe of my favorite encounters was with Ron Wood... OMG he was too funny.

7:56 am

Trifioso

okay, you all have to promise to kick me off here in five more minutes. I have GOT to get stuff done today!

7:56 am

sandyloo

I saw Michael Caine in New York

7:57 am

mom2han8

It's so funny... you just kind of bump into celebs in Manhattan. They are just out doing their thing.

7:57 am

rubyfoo

I think I'm entering here too late, seem to have missed the juicy bits!

7:57 am

Soodle

My brother went to school with Larry Mullins jr, - the drummer in U2. He was in our house heaps of times. (My claim to fame)

7:58 am

mom2han8

I once had a friend who lived in a building with a woman who was dating ERic Roberts... at 3 AM he was screaming outside of the building for her to let her in and she was throwing his crap out the window at him, LOL!

7:58 am

mom2han8

I LOVE U2...

7:58 am

rubyfoo

my son was in a U2 tribute band (in Austin TX) for two years playing bass

7:59 am

mom2han8

Ron Wood, drunk as a skunk in the village at an outdoor cafe... kept trying to get me to have a drink with him... "Come on Luv" he kept saying.... I so would have, but my daughter was 4 at the time and she was with me... did not think it was the right environment for her... LOL

7:59 am

rubyfoo

too funny mom2

8:02 am

Trifioso

Mom

thanks Aloy

12:13 pm

SamanthaJoy

Oh, thank you; I've never seen that spelling before, and I can't imagine why the singular isn't accepted, then, too. How weird, and thanks much.

12:14 pm

Aloyisius

don't know what it means, something to do with money?

12:14 pm

SamanthaJoy

It's the plural of the MidEastern currency "dinar"

ah so,
ty SJoy

12:14 pm

Mary

stuck again on the ac6/21

12:15 pm

SamanthaJoy

AH WAIT! I looked it up, I'm wrong. The Mid East currency *is* the dinar, but *this* word is the plural of the Roman "denarius"

12:15 pm

SamanthaJoy

That's why there is no singular spelling accepted.

3:34 pm

City 17 dweller

hello, everyone. Just lurking and pecking at the grid

3:35 pm

redturtlehead

I think NB gets a lot less sun than I do, so he is probably safe.

3:35 pm

City 17 dweller

yes, can't play the 'episode' ones without revisiting 2

3:35 pm

you can say that again, Red ;) especially when I used to go back home for the summer - I used to leave just as England was getting nice, to go to Korea for the rainy season...and then get back in time for England to be rainy again!

3:36 pm

City 17 dweller

Father Gregori is a hoot :)

3:37 pm

redturtlehead

well Crossy I dont know. A year in Sudan, and then deciding to live in Florida, I am trying to get melanoma.

3:37 pm

redturtlehead

So this year its sunscreen.

3:37 pm

crosshair

and i do not care how many people bitch about source city 17,it has always run smooth as silk and it gave me a free game for having both ep1 and 2

3:38 pm

crosshair

dont you dare red,i have already had that carved out of my belly...twice!!

3:38 pm

crosshair

you have not been wearing sunscreen????!!!!

3:38 pm

redturtlehead

I have never worn it until this year.

3:39 pm

redturtlehead

once in a while yes. but not regulary.

3:39 pm

City 17 dweller

It's mostly fine for me, too, although I have problems running hl2 on my machine (works fine on hubby's so I have no idea what the compatibility problem is)

3:39 pm

crosshair

bad red,bad,hang your head in shame

3:40 pm

redturtlehead

I'm working on it Cross! At least, I am a non smoker non drinker, and exercise very regularly...Now I make sure to put it on 30 min before swimming so it can adhere to my skin...eeew/

3:40 pm

interesting note: it was the first time the code s.o.s was used,before that it was cqd

3:43 pm

JBV

hi folks - catching up with the grid and the chat - red, please don't joke about melanoma - I had one removed from my back and it left a big scar -

3:43 pm

City 17 dweller

that bit I did know, but I'm wild to find out about Cunnard and the ship builder's activities since then...

3:44 pm

crosshair

lol jbv like i said my belly is criss crossed with scars from that

3:44 pm

crosshair

thats why i harp about sun screen

3:45 pm

JBV

I started using sunscreen carefully and regularly when I was in my late 20's - by then the damage had been done

3:46 pm

redturtlehead

No no, jbv, I was not joking. a few years ago, I met a guy 20 years old, came in to have a cancer taken off his hind end....

3:46 pm

JBV

yikes

3:46 pm

crosshair

yup,i shake my head at all those pretty girls crisping themselves on the beach with nothing but baby oil

3:46 pm

redturtlehead

and then, I kept meeting himin Pre op area he kept having to come back and back to try to clear margins, it was awful.

3:47 pm

crosshair

even if you do not get cancer,you end up with saddle skin at 60

3:47 pm

JBV

when I was a kid, no one talked about the danger of sunning, so yearly lobster sunburns were part of the routine for me, now we know better, so we have to be careful,

3:47 pm

redturtlehead

I have to admit, My Dad hates the beach so I never had a beach vacation as it was, I am in fairly good shape comparitively, but now living where I live, I do need to think about it.

3:48 pm

crosshair

i see all those 60-65 year old florida women in my inlaws picture book,they do indeed look like a old saddle

3:48 pm

redturtlehead

Cross, you should see some of the older Florida Ladies! they do have the Saddle skin and the deep voices on top of it. very not what I want to appear like.

3:48 pm

Nancy Boy

it's funny - tans are really big here, but where I'm from it's considered more attractive to be pale.

3:48 pm

crosshair

indeed nb

3:49 pm

crosshair

in old times the more pale,the more prized as only the well to do could afford not to be out working all day in the sun

3:49 pm

Nancy Boy

when I was working as a host, we weren't allowed to get tans! or have a bad hair day ;)

3:49 pm

redturtlehead

Yup Nancy, here in Florida, I see some people with really white skin and I look at them like, "What happened" Most of us end up with some sort of yellowy coloration if we are active outdoors.

3:49 pm

rolin

even living in australia..i never tanned... i used to say pale and healthy...

4:14 pm

SeaSpray

Hopefully his aunt and uncle are very supportive peoploe

4:15 pm

SeaSpray

*people

4:15 pm

jmcnrick

no way to tell from the news reports really . . . I mean they went to pick him up and brought him home and all so . . . can't be too bad

4:17 pm

SeaSpray

On another note, could someone send some warm weather this way?

4:17 pm

redturtlehead

Seas spray its boiling here, feel free.

4:18 pm

jmcnrick

its cool and raining here

4:18 pm

redturtlehead

its supposed to be storming, but in reality it is just getting really humid sprinkling alittle and then...

4:19 pm

SeaSpray

damp, raining, crappy,

4:19 pm

Nancy Boy

oooh, I love summer thunderstorms!

4:19 pm

redturtlehead

i would love on now...

4:19 pm

jmcnrick

this rain is good for the garden sea

4:19 pm

jmcnrick

i like them too nb

4:20 pm

SeaSpray

if it was warm rain jmc I wouldn't care lol

4:20 pm

jmcnrick

its nearly 60 sea

4:20 pm

redturtlehead

also heard some very bad news on the oil spill, so if I get rid of cold, i guess I have to go enjoy the beach befor it gets oiled.

4:21 pm

bekki

crazy weather yesterday it was 90 , today 68 and rain

4:21 pm

SeaSpray

what did you hear red?

4:21 pm

jmcnrick

the last i heard they were starting to syphon about 20% off to a bo**

4:23 pm

redturtlehead

that it is probably going to make tis way around the end of florida and find itself on the east coach beaches.

4:23 pm

redturtlehead

But we have heard this off and on since the spill, its always in the news.

4:24 pm

Ouwachita

any clue for the as5 ?

4:24 pm

jmcnrick

as+girls name minus a letter

4:24 pm

crosshair

that thing still gushing oil? heads should roll for that

4:24 pm

redturtlehead

yoga, think yoga.

4:25 pm

redturtlehead

I watched 60 mins last night and it was very very sobering. a lot of shortcuts, make for a sad situation...

4:25 pm

jmcnrick

BP is doing pretty much everything is can including saying it will pay for it all regardless of the legal cap

4:25 pm

jmcnrick

the company which owned the well is ducking and weaving

4:27 pm

SeaSpray

doesn't the law require them to have emergency plans BEFORE the emergency?

4:27 pm

jmcnrick

the law also caps their liability

4:28 pm

SeaSpray

why is that?

4:28 pm

jmcnrick

it is clear that there was error especially the dead battery in the back system!

4:29 pm

jmcnrick

why? because george w and cheney are in the oil industry

4:29 pm

jmcnrick

the law was their response to the Valdez spill

4:29 pm

jmcnrick

okay I am off for a while. bbl

4:30 pm

SeaSpray

oh, that makes sense then ( grumble, grumble(

4:30 pm

SeaSpray

bye jmc

4:33 pm

redturtlehead

you know, the thing that inflames me so much is that it really doesnt matter how much money they throw at people, the coast will never be the same.

4:37 pm

Atalante

and the world would be a different place compeltely without the oil such rigs pump ...

4:38 pm

redturtlehead

i am not against pumping, but I am really against not replacing safety valves when pieces of them start coming up with the drilling.

4:39 pm

Atalante

um yeah. not ideal.

4:40 pm

redturtlehead

the guy on 60 minutes described a lot of issues that were avoidable, as if often the case in these big problems.

4:40 pm

Atalante

oh yes. but that's all industries, not just oil

4:41 pm

redturtlehead

indeed.

4:41 pm

redturtlehead

lordy i have 118 left.

4:42 pm

Atalante

I'm just very grateful in a strange way that it was BP involved. A lot of oil companies have a lot less of a sense of responsibility

4:42 pm

redturtlehead

i hope it does not come round to my beaches, but...it is already affecting things.

4:44 pm

Atalante

every beach in the world will be affected, if only in a very very minor way

4:45 pm

redturtlehead

true, Ata, I guess I just keep thinking of the things that I know, which is the only way I htink most people relate well to stuff.

4:46 pm

Atalante

oh yes, only natural! I have a stranger automatic viewpoint being immersed in marine management!

4:46 pm

redturtlehead

exactly....the way I view health care systems, and others usually look at how it will affect them only.

4:47 pm

Atalante

and also I used to work on a contract basis for BP :P

4:47 pm

redturtlehead

Well, They really have messed up our gulf, in this event.

4:48 pm

stidgmere

Mom

Yes, I am serious. Alreayd they have the insurance premium up for those who smoke, which I think makes sense.

6:46 pm

jillibus

:) hurshy

6:46 pm

dcseain

that seems excessive.

6:47 pm

redturtlehead

I think it is legal.

6:47 pm

redturtlehead

In truth the cost over the years of smokers vs non smokers as employees is obvious. but I had no idea they could do that.

6:47 pm

redturtlehead

I do not smoke.

6:47 pm

hurshy

well i have! i am so happy to have a new piece of knowledge. especially one i really wanted. it's like when you're doing a jigsaw puzzle and you have a bunch of open space but the one piece that makes you the happiest to find is the one from the middle of the part you have mostly done!

sa7: "devil"-ish

11:18 pm

hootowl

wicked kje

11:18 pm

kje

ty - had tried that 5 but wouldn'ttake... but te 7 does

11:19 pm

gremlinn

it takes the -ism and -ist forms as well

11:19 pm

hootowl

makes as much sense as anything enable does

11:19 pm

gremlinn

the 5 would be a proper noun, so it does make a twisted sort of sense

11:20 pm

hootowl

considering how many derogatives are in it you have to wonder why it won't accept the 5

11:21 pm

gremlinn

I think, because it's only used as a proper noun

11:21 pm

hootowl

nothing proper about it! Especially nowadays

11:21 pm

kje

i am fighting so hard to stay awake... only 18 left

11:21 pm

gremlinn

but the -ic, -ism, -ist, etc., have fallen into common noun usage

11:22 pm

hootowl

but there is no consistancy

11:23 pm

gremlinn

I wouldn't fault Enable for that

11:23 pm

hootowl

no - just the people who created it

11:23 pm

rururocks

satan is a like a person.. not a word

11:24 pm

gremlinn

Nor them - it's just that "sa7" isn't capitalized under most usage anymore - just how English has evolved.

11:24 pm

rururocks

unless you are talking about the IRS

11:24 pm

kje

5

11:24 pm

gremlinn

sa5 is just a name, but the sh7 variant is a word in the dictionary

11:26 pm

hootowl

hi ru - you do realise that there are some who think calling it a boat is a cardinal sin????

11:27 pm

gremlinn

that's one of the two definitions, other being "related to tetanus"

11:27 pm

kje

FW!

11:27 pm

kje
