12:43 am

12:43 am

12:43 am

Oh really jilli? Is summer late coming for you this year?

12:43 am

12:43 am

Aloyisius

12:43 am

vashongin

i had better check mine, jili, i didn't look recently

12:43 am

we have barely begun spring, FM. COLD. DAMP. DISMAL. *sigh*

12:44 am

cybernan

12:44 am

FMitch

herin reminded me of a great tip for blackfly - spray the plant with a mild mix of washing up liquid and water.

12:44 am

m9f9l

phew..got the pi8!

12:44 am

vashongin

it's not familiar to me, nan, that co 7 was one i had to look up

12:44 am

jillibus

I used insecticidal soap on the rose today.

12:45 am

m9f9l

what is blackfly?

12:45 am

stidmama

that works well for many pests FM.

12:45 am

jillibus

back east blackflies are ghastly tinies.

12:46 am

vashongin

our water is ground fed, so i have to be really careful with the products

12:46 am

cybernan

there are so many phantoms

12:46 am

stidmama

we like to use diatomaceous earth (basically ancient sea diatoms)

12:47 am

jillibus

stid, does that work for earwigs?

12:47 am

stidmama

same for us, vashon. but detergents in small amounts (phosphorus free of course) should be okay. in moderation.

12:47 am

stidmama

I don't know if DE works on earwigs, but the soapy water is said to work... have read about it for people who grow peonies. Which I haven't tried.

12:48 am

Aloyisius

1:01 am

Aloyisius

ah, enjoy your break..

1:01 am

m9f9l

feelin' ch***! ch***! ch***!!!

1:02 am

stidmama

it has been nice -- always manage to fill the time with activities that are NOT what I actually hoped to do, but such luxury to be able to say "yes" to opportunities.

1:02 am

stidmama

I will have about three weeks off in August before I begin student teaching.

1:03 am

stidmama

that will be the longest time "off" in a couple years.

1:03 am

Aloyisius

you must have a lot of energy.. school + kids = hamster on the wheel pace..

1:04 am

stidmama

well, the house and yard have really suffered this last couple years ALoyisius. I have plans this summer to address both, but we'll see what actually materializes. It might be that my needs will dictate some just sitting around.

1:04 am

stidmama

And babbling of course... LOL my brain needs downtime

1:04 am

m9f9l

oh! oh!! I'm good at sitting around!

1:05 am

Aloyisius

1:05 am

FMitch

Sitting doing nothing is good sometimes stiddy.

1:05 am

stidmama

m9f9l

the ae words

2:37 am

jillibus

hi sprite -- you mean the Stieg Larsson ones! I'm still waiting for the third one -- delayed delivery to the bookstore, grrr!

2:38 am

sprite

argh, how frustrating! I ordered them with Bol.com, a really amazing online bookstore.
But it IS a bit eerie, isn't it, how he writes about an author who dies before his book is published?

2:39 am

jillibus

Oh yes -- hadn't thought of that!

2:40 am

sprite

it hit me when I was reading part 2 (m9: the author himself died before his 3 books were published!).

2:40 am

sprite

and i am half and half in love with Salanger. She is amazing.

2:41 am

jillibus

sprite, I saw the movie last week -- in Swedish with subtitles. The girl playing Salader was fabulous.

2:41 am

m9f9l

wow. eerie

2:42 am

m9f9l

i just watched an NCIS episode kind of like that. but not really.....

2:42 am

sprite

oh wonderful, I will go see it too then.

2:42 am

jillibus

Salader! No, not green -- Salander, isn't it?

2:43 am

sprite

Salander, you are right. I keep seeing salamander in my mind's eye.

2:44 am

o-o

Are short books discriminated against on the basis of height?

2:44 am

jillibus

It was interesting to hear the Swedish pronunciations of names and places.

2:44 am

sprite

I had a very clear cold finger along my spine when the author in the book was killed. But wow, amazing books, so well written and such good personages... characters?

2:45 am

2:56 am

sprite

2:58 am

3:05 am

rubyfoo

voila et bon jour haz!

3:05 am

sprite

my guess is that Haz is either walking or preparing for the ordeal. Not sure about Ata. Might be there cheering her on, or just busy doing other stuff.

3:05 am

Haz1558

Just back from looking at e-mails etc.

3:11 am

sprite

no sleeping for the wicked, FM. We must keep on doing weather dances until Haz has finished. No rain, and no scorging sun either.

3:12 am

Haz1558

I foresee people having disturbed images of a small, sweaty but determined woman pounding along.

3:12 am

FMitch

Oh heck. OK sprite - but not sure how long I cn stay wake - been up since 5 however will do my best.

3:13 am

sprite

3:13 am

FMitch

3:13 am

FMitch

May have to take a nap this pm.

Haz1558

3:15 am

sprite

oh yes Haz, she had a good time. thanks for asking.

3:16 am

Haz1558

I remembered her going, just couldn't remember what the outcome had been. The destination had been a secret, wasn't that right?

3:16 am

rubyfoo

3:17 am

lynxxx

mmmm I don't Ruby means champ.

3:17 am

sprite

well it always is a secret to the children and the parents. The parents get a letter with the address as soon as the children are on their way. They were relatively close by this time!

3:17 am

sprite

morning lyn *hug*

3:17 am

3:19 am

sprite

3:19 am

rubyfoo

3:19 am

FMitch

no that works here in the UK too lynxxx.

3:19 am

rubyfoo

I'm glad this gives me some escape, otherwise I'd go crazy

3:20 am

Haz1558

The milkmaid had quite a tu4/5 when the blessed machine refused to ch5/16.

3:20 am

FMitch

Lunch time for me - yes I know it is only 9.20 but having been up for so long I am hungry.

3:20 am

rubyfoo

3:24 am

Haz1558

It's one of those single word grids, no sequences really, are there?

3:24 am

sprite

indeed Haz

3:24 am

lynxxx

thank goodness it's not just me

3:25 am

Haz1558

No, it's a shared experience of tweezing them out.

3:27 am

herinfernallady

Thanks. B.f is going to drive me to the store

3:34 am

sprite

the panting breath of all babblers will be the wind in your back, Haz

3:35 am

Haz1558

I know. Imagine my shame if I had to confess that I hadn't made it. I'd have to change my name and pretend to be a new babbler.

3:36 am

rubyfoo

but we'd recognize your style! there's no hiding in here, I think

3:36 am

herinfernallady

Haz best wishes

3:36 am

sprite

if so, Haz, don't forget to cloak your new you with superfluous smileys and abbreviations!

3:36 am

rubyfoo

has anybody ever successful changed identities?

3:37 am

Haz1558

You're right, ruby, even when people change their names, you can still know who they are.

3:37 am

rubyfoo

babble protection program?

3:37 am

sprite

yes but only openly, rubyfoo, when they did not like their nickname.

3:38 am

rubyfoo

phantom: nuncio

3:38 am

Haz1558

Some people have changed names but have told us about it. Some haven't said, but I've recognised them.

3:38 am

sprite

as soon as somebody starts chatting again, you get a 'feel' for the person behind it... hard to disguise.

3:38 am

rubyfoo

whoops, not a phantom!!!

3:38 am

sprite

thanks rubyfoo, lol

3:38 am

rubyfoo

3:38 am

I'd fool you all if I started talking about the joys of sewing and the evils of George Clooney.

3:38 am

sprite

I am still me, though.

3:39 am

rubyfoo

hahah haz!

3:39 am

herinfernallady

Haz Mr Clooney was on ER last night

3:39 am

sprite

nah that would be too transparent, Haz. Besides, I am pretty sure you'd sound sympathetic towards George even then.

3:39 am

Haz1558

Let me just meditate on that thought for a moment...

3:39 am

rubyfoo

I even like his commercials!!

3:40 am

sprite

the commercial where he dies and goes to Petrus is good

3:40 am

sprite

rubyfoo, nobody needs tranquillizers in the PB. There is comfort food, silly.

3:40 am

rubyfoo

and John M.'s unctuous voice makes a great St. Peter!

3:40 am

lynxxx

phantom: luncheonette

3:41 am

3:41 am

3:41 am

Lunchoon, music while you eat.

3:42 am

3:42 am

rubyfoo

ty sprite

3:45 am

sprite

so how can this grid harbour words over 6 letters? *looks at stats with unbelief*

3:45 am

lynxxx

beats me

3:45 am

sprite

*disbelief even

3:46 am

Haz1558

Joins the group of cynics in the corner.

3:47 am

rubyfoo

I'm glad it's not just me -- was feeling really dense, there

3:47 am

Haz1558

I'm just about to go through the chat log for hints. Anyone care to bet on who found the long words?

3:48 am

lynxxx

what are the odds on Grem at the moment?

3:48 am

Haz1558

I agreee, Kalia, it should be there.

3:49 am

Haz1558

I'd say that no bets are taken on Gremlinn, if the bookie wants to make any money.

3:49 am

Haz1558

I'll look and report back. I won't spoil the fun by saying the words, only who found them.

3:50 am

Kallia

this is going to be a hard grid...I'm down to the n already and only have 10 words!

3:50 am

herinfernallady

Well no list o well. Like I have finished a grid all week

3:50 am

Haz1558

jillibus nearly gave me heart failure by saying cul8r, but it wasn't a word.

3:52 am

Haz1558

Dizgrannie was the first to declare an 8.

3:52 am

rubyfoo

3:52 am

sprite

lol Haz

3:53 am

sprite

wtg on Dizgrannie

3:53 am

Haz1558

Une found a 7, then josh found an 8. I think gremlinn must have been bound and gagged somewhere.

3:54 am

Kallia

dont know about 7s and 8s having trouble finding 4s and 5s!

3:54 am

sprite

I have tried all I could with the 'not in' prefix, and I give up. The biggies must start with something else.

3:55 am

sprite

kallia, it is one of those grids!

3:55 am

rubyfoo

I have 49 words, 47 are 4's and 5's lol

3:57 am

rubyfoo

that can't be the real sprite! you are always finished by now!!!

3:58 am

Kallia

if Sprite is struggling no hope for us lesser mortals

3:58 am

sprite

can I save a tiny bit of my reputation by telling I just found an 8? And that I did it by thinking that prefix I talked about could actually be a suffix as well?

3:58 am

rubyfoo

true, kallia, I think I'll go and make lunch and start dinner, so I can watch the US game at 4PM!

3:59 am

sprite

hey I am no gremlinn :P

3:59 am

Kallia

oh no worries about your reputation Sprite :)

3:59 am

It's a baseball term, apparently, but all I could think of was babies and bathwater.

3:59 am

FMitch

4:20 am

Haz1558

Ruby didn't think there was a use for the diminutive ending, pity she's gone. Maybe she'll pick up on it later.

4:20 am

sprite

I clued it to her earlier, Haz, she found it

4:21 am

Haz1558

Oh, I mustn't have seen that, that's good.

4:21 am

4:27 am

sandyloo

4:27 am

Haz1558

4:28 am

4:29 am

sandyloo

I am making sausages and mash for dinner- with lots of gravy- i love that old English standbye and am indulging myself

4:29 am

sprite

4:29 am

sandyloo

4:30 am

sprite

I hope you made enough, I think I will come over for dinner.

4:30 am

sandyloo

lol, as opposed to unhealthy sausages

4:30 am

sprite

hi bojazz

4:31 am

sandyloo

It's a cold night and I love comfort food

4:31 am

Haz1558

Mash seems to have had something of a resurgence. They serve it in restaurants now but talk about 'crushed potatoes'.

4:31 am

bojazz

good morning to all of you :)

4:31 am

Haz1558

Good morning, bojazz.

4:33 am

bojazz

only Tonto knows

4:33 am

Haz1558

Why don't they make cowboy series any more?

4:33 am

sandyloo

I used to love that show when I was little

4:34 am

bojazz

the indians won! there are no more cowboys, but lots of indians around ???

4:35 am

Haz1558

Yes, but old-fashioned cowboys with horses being tied to railings and bar-tenders flinging foaming glasses of beers down long bars shouldn't really go out of style.

4:36 am

Haz1558

Bring back Bonanza. Its opening sequence was genius.

4:37 am

sprite

wow, finally found a series of words when I tried to grey out the U

4:37 am

bojazz

those were the days my friend, we thought they'd never end ...

4:37 am

sprite

we'd sing and dance forever and a day...

4:38 am

Haz1558

We'd live the life we'd choose, we'd fight and never lose.

4:38 am

sprite

those were the days, oh yes, those were the days

4:38 am

Haz1558

(All sing together - those were the days, oh yes, those were the days)

4:38 am

sprite

or: cause we were young and sure to have our way...

4:38 am

Haz1558

Am I right in remembering that Paul McCartney wrote that?

4:39 am

sandyloo

damn, now that's stuck in my head...

4:39 am

sandyloo

he wrote it for a girl who had a hit with it - cant remember her name

4:39 am

bojazz

glad i could help, sandy

4:39 am

Haz1558

Ah, so she wrote it. I knew he had some connection with it. She had a lovely voice.

4:40 am

sandyloo

and Sprite

4:41 am

sprite

I know that song word for word. Still love it :)

4:41 am

sandyloo

well no doubt I will be singing it for the next few days

4:41 am

sprite

wiki says: Those Were the Days" is a song credited to Gene Raskin, who put English lyrics to the Russian song "Dorogoi dlinnoyu" ("??????? ???????", lit. "By the long road"), written by Boris Fomin (1900-1948) with words by the poet Konstantin Podrevskii.

4:42 am

sandyloo

very interesting but wish I would remember those facts to impress visitors with -lol

4:43 am

sprite

Although the song was popularized in the early 1960s by The Limeliters, Welsh singer Mary Hopkin did the best known recording. It was released on 30 August 1968, shortly after Hopkin was signed to the Beatles' newly created Apple label. Hopkin's recording was produced by Paul McCartney and became a #1 hit in the UK singles chart, and reached #2 in the US. The tune topped the Billboard Easy Listening survey.

Paul McCartney, who produced the session, also recorded Hopkin singing "Those Were The Days" in four other languages for release in their respective countries

4:43 am

sprite

so we were all close, but no cigar :)

4:44 am

sandyloo

Thanks for that Sprite- here's a cigar anyway!

4:44 am

Haz1558

Make notes on your arm, sandy, they'll think you're looking at the time, but you'll just be able to get the facts straight.

4:44 am

sandyloo

LOL

4:44 am

sprite

:)

4:44 am

bojazz

lol

4:44 am

Haz1558

Wouldn't it be awful if they thought you were bored and trying to get rid of them?

4:45 am

sprite

just tell your visitors nonchalantly you need to go to your naos, because that is where you store the food for your in4.

4:46 am

Haz1558

Word would go round that there are wild times ahead at Sandyloo's place.

4:47 am

sprite

Fireflies! Now that was a grid I enjoyed getting my teeth in!

4:47 am

sandyloo

LOL I love showing off, I thought that would give me an opportunity and then I could sing for them

4:47 am

Haz1558

Well done!

4:47 am

sandyloo

hmmm Sprite, I think you took longer than your usual 10 minutes

4:48 am

sprite

you can anyway, sandy. Daring to sing in public is impressive

4:48 am

sandyloo

ha, I still have 47 left , no opportunity for showing off here

4:48 am

Haz1558

In Vicuna's case, it's positively foolhardy.

4:48 am

sandyloo

Everybody is used to me singing but not everybody is suitably impressed

4:49 am

sandyloo

maybe they are jealous

5:31 am

rubyfoo

bye to sprite's and haz's backs

5:31 am

rubyfoo

hello to bojazz and sandy's fronts!

5:31 am

rubyfoo

WW# around here again! What's a woman to do?

5:32 am

rubyfoo

that;s WW3

5:33 am

Atalante

poor you, ruby!!

5:34 am

rubyfoo

it's rotten; he is able to spoil a whole day and it is so lovely here. All could be perfect!

5:34 am

rubyfoo

and it was because of a look on my face (I had just gotten up!)

5:35 am

sandyloo

hi ruby

5:35 am

rubyfoo

hello sandy

5:35 am

gremlinn

yay, fireworks unaided

5:35 am

sandyloo

well done grem

5:35 am

gremlinn

no chat, lists, or morewords

5:35 am

rubyfoo

congrats gremlin!

5:36 am

sandyloo

hmmmm I want to be as clever as gremlin

5:36 am

sandyloo

Ruby, sorry about the

5:36 am

sandyloo

Ruby, sorry about the

5:36 am

sandyloo

Ruby, sorry about the

5:36 am

sandyloo

Ruby, sorry about the

5:36 am

sandyloo

,WW

5:36 am

sandyloo

lol my typing lately is like someone with parkinsons

5:37 am

gremlinn

I was very lucky to guess one of the 8s

5:37 am

rubyfoo

it's hard to know what to do, so, instead, I just whine a lot (in here), wouldn't give him the satisfaction!

5:38 am

sandyloo

what would you like to happen (other than he has a change of personality)

5:38 am

Atalante

husbnad's been away for a week, utter bliss, but he's back tonight :(

5:38 am

rubyfoo

how bad is it?

5:38 am

sandyloo

I guess i am lucky, my husband is very placid

5:39 am

rubyfoo

I wish he'd go back to his previous wife (no chance of that, I'm afraid)

5:39 am

rubyfoo

heis too old. And I can't kick him out, he's too old for that, too

5:39 am

rubyfoo

yes, you are lucky

5:40 am

sandyloo

hmm, join a club where you can get away maybe?

5:41 am

sandyloo

wait til he is senile and put him in a home

5:41 am

sandyloo

frame him for a crime and get him arrested

5:42 am

rubyfoo

we're getting close to that point, I think. I can't really go away because of the gdogs!

5:42 am

sandyloo

dig a big hole in the garden and maybe he will fall into it

5:42 am

rubyfoo

I don't want to get kicked out of France!

5:42 am

sandyloo

lol

5:43 am

sandyloo

my husband is not chatty he doesn't talk to me much but he is very easy to get on with and it works well

5:46 am

sandyloo

we actually get on better the older we get

5:49 am

rubyfoo

that is very lucky! How many years have you been married?

5:49 am

sandyloo

40 LOL

5:50 am

sandyloo

we are both easy going and neither of us are control freaks

5:50 am

rubyfoo

wow! we've only been married since' '97 but together since '84. I'm wife #4! That should have told me something

5:51 am

sandyloo

is he your first husband?

5:51 am

sandyloo

that is a long time tho

5:51 am

rubyfoo

he is a total control freak but can't really do the little stuff, e.g. answer the phone, open packages, repair little things, etc.

5:51 am

rubyfoo

no, my 2nd; I was single for a VERY long time in between and loved it!

5:52 am

sandyloo

I would never get married again if I was financial enough

5:52 am

rubyfoo

he is even estranged from his 3 children, so I don't think that I am the problem

5:52 am

rubyfoo

and then there's the question of $$! If we had a lot, it would be easier to get rid of him but there isn't enough to run 2 households

5:53 am

sandyloo

sure doesn't sound like it and let's face it , we women are so sensible compared to men and more reasonable too

5:53 am

rubyfoo

nad I'm not going anyplace!!!!

5:53 am

sandyloo

you will have to concentrate on his good points - there must be some

5:53 am

rubyfoo

sorry to vent, but he has me very upset!

5:53 am

rubyfoo

he used to be my best friend....

5:54 am

sandyloo

babble is such a good place to vent

5:54 am

rubyfoo

yes

5:54 am

rubyfoo

I am really grateful for that!

5:55 am

rubyfoo

I'm going to take a Xanax and read the newspaper; hopefully he'll be nice later

5:55 am

sandyloo

I had such a hard time when Nicky was getting her shoulder dislocated all the time and I was grateful for somewhere to talk about it with people who wern't involved but caring

5:55 am

rubyfoo

and my watching the World Cup drives him crazy!

5:56 am

rubyfoo

it's true. We care but are distant enough and without any baggage, so it can be very helpful

5:56 am

sandyloo

unusual for a man - but my husband doesn't watch sport either- he watches another television lol

5:56 am

rubyfoo

And we get some very good advice, e.g. Ata diagnosed my pup's mange!

5:57 am

sandyloo

is the mange cured now?

5:57 am

rubyfoo

and the Tour starts onf the 3rd of July!!! The two things actually overlap

5:57 am

rubyfoo

yes, but both dogs scratch a lot; maybe dogs just scratch....

5:58 am

Atalante

we just have brilliant people here :P (mainly Haz!!)

5:58 am

sandyloo

I am so looking forward to the Tour, the Gira D'Italia was fantastic - you can get a vaccine against mange I think

5:58 am

rubyfoo

and you, ata!!!!

5:58 am

sandyloo

Lots of brilliant people here At

5:58 am

Atalante

I just learn from the Master ;)

5:59 am

rubyfoo

the vet came, gave him two courses of antibiotics, ivrectin (what ata had mentioned) and he was cured. But he still scratches

5:59 am

sandyloo

any fleas around?

6:00 am

rubyfoo

they are both getting the flea and tick drops every month and I think I would either see them or be bitten by them!

6:00 am

Mudd

Gird morning ... looks like an odd grid today.

6:00 am

sandyloo

I am slowly but slowly going through it - hi mudd

6:01 am

rubyfoo

going to take a chill pill and lie down. See you later (((sandy and ata)))

6:01 am

rubyfoo

a hug for you, too, mudd!

6:01 am

sandyloo

hugs to you Ruby and keep smiling

6:01 am

rubyfoo

how many words, sandy? I have 59

6:01 am

sandyloo

i have 53 31 left

6:02 am

rubyfoo

I've hit the wall (better than hitting you-know-who!)

6:02 am

Mudd

ty ruby

6:02 am

rubyfoo

not you, mudd, hahah

6:03 am

Atalante

I have 84 left :D

6:04 am

sandyloo

that should take you about 10 minutes then at

6:04 am

Atalante

I wish!!

6:04 am

Atalante

let's see :)

6:06 am

Mudd

I can't describe my feelings toward this grid. I say like pulling teeth too often. Perhaps like searching for fleas on that dog ... I've also heard that searching for nits is no fun either.

6:06 am

sandyloo

i guess i have been chatting and watching tv and cooking tea but I don't mind I am just relaxing doing it slowly'

6:07 am

movieman

clues for the 8s plz

6:07 am

sandyloo

hehehe mudd

6:08 am

sandyloo

there is a co8/55 which comes from the co 7

6:09 am

movieman

co7 clue plz sandy?

6:09 am

sandyloo

trying to think of a clue - i dont have the other one yet

6:11 am

sandyloo

co + a consonant that sounds like our favourite cup of * + a word that rhymes with a medical condition that you get from heavy lifting - but one letter less

6:11 am

sandyloo

LOL I will try and improve on that bad clueing if you dont get it

6:12 am

movieman

ty sandy

6:12 am

sandyloo

did you get it?

6:12 am

City 17 dweller

I got it from your clue, ty, Sandy.

6:12 am

sandyloo

wow , you must be clever!

6:13 am

sandyloo

then add one vowel for the 8

6:13 am

City 17 dweller

you made it easy to monkey, if not get outright

6:14 am

Mudd

ty, I was about to start on the co 7,8 and you made it easier. I'm still not sure of that medical condition part, but like City 17, I figured it out.

6:14 am

Kaplan the Magne

Lady Biotch's name is in here. But it is not a word.

6:15 am

sandyloo

I'm not sure of anything mudd , but I'm glad you got it

6:16 am

sandyloo

Kaplan I love your icon pic - are you in it?

6:16 am

City 17 dweller

co + start of fourth weekday + consonant (+ vowel for 8) ... clue for anyone whose monkeys aren't playing today.

6:17 am

sandyloo

it is a hard one to clue

6:19 am

City 17 dweller

agreed, sandy - and this is an unpleasantly sticky grid, too. Just when I think I've hit a seam of words, it dries up.

6:19 am

Mudd

And it's a psychological thing with me. If I think it's a hard grid, my brain shuts down. It won't see words that would otherwise be so obvious to me.

6:19 am

sandyloo

I have plenty of time tonite so I am just puzzling along slowly

6:20 am

sandyloo

I agree mudd, I miss a lot of fish when i am in that state of mind

6:20 am

Atalante

this isn't an easy grid, is it?!

6:20 am

sandyloo

I keep trying words with d in them and there is no d in the grid

6:21 am

City 17 dweller

shh, ata, you'll make mudd's monkeys shut down!

6:21 am

Mudd

exactly

6:21 am

City 17 dweller

lol, sandy

6:22 am

Atalante

my tapirs have already got on strike!

6:22 am

sandyloo

i cant get the last in 5

6:23 am

sandyloo

how about a clue for that if someone has it?

6:23 am

City 17 dweller

I only have one in5 - to in*** a fine.

6:23 am

City 17 dweller

doubt it's your missing one, though

6:23 am

Kallia

in+ garden planter

6:24 am

City 17 dweller

ty Kallia :) Now I have two.

6:24 am

sandyloo

thanks Kallia but I cant see a garden planter ...

6:24 am

Kallia

sandyloo

thank you

6:28 am

sandyloo

26 left

6:32 am

Mudd

I'm appreciating the -tch and -nch. My brain loosened up enough to spot some words there.

6:34 am

sandyloo

did you get what fleas can give you?

6:34 am

City 17 dweller

I'm finding that area a big tease full of phantoms, mudd - I keep wanting crunch and hunch and honcho

6:35 am

EspritdJean

flea-bitis?

6:36 am

Mudd

They will pop out at you, few though they are. I even found one -rch.

6:36 am

Mudd

There's also some with ch at the end followed by a vowel

6:36 am

Kallia

done...hard today couldn't see a thing first time round.

6:36 am

Mudd

Can you tell that I love 'ch'

6:37 am

sandyloo

well done kallia

6:37 am

Mudd

congrats Kallia

6:37 am

Mudd

The quiet is soothing, isn't it?

6:59 am

herinfernallady

Yes

6:59 am

herinfernallady

Considering this is grid is a poo

6:59 am

Mudd

Yes, it definitely is that.

7:00 am

Mudd

7:18 am

Mudd

the pi is a compound word. The other one builds on the 7.

7:18 am

Mudd

co 6, we get together for one of these when we have something to discuss.

7:19 am

Mudd

Business related word for discussing, chattering about a topic.

7:19 am

Mudd

Gotta to, new day dawning and my grandson is awakening.

7:19 am

7:24 am

City 17 dweller

Any clues before I go? (I'm leaving orange and ginger marmalade for Mom's english muffins in the PB)

7:24 am

Merk

My clue of the day is that there are several -tch, -nch, -rch, -che at the end of words. It gets better as you get into it.

7:24 am

Mom

I think that pieto4/4 should be a word. I have one to carry my dessert

7:25 am

Riverdance

oh no scrambled eggs this morning - I better be careful

7:25 am

Mom

you want scrambled eggs? I will whip some up for you

7:26 am

City 17 dweller

I'll leave a random clue, too - build off the oc5 for the oc7, with a french-sounding ending ... bye everyone! have a good day.

7:26 am

Do y'all ever play Babble as an escape from a list of about a thousand things you have to do....i'm in such major procrastination mode today. I think if I can just finish this puzzle, life as I know it can begin!!!

no, babbz-it is an addiction that is hard to break

10:42 am

babbz

I go for a while without playing, or with the big grids I'll give myself an hour or whatever, but these little ones, I find I compulsively need to finish them rather than quit - but often they are harder than the 300+ word grids!!

10:43 am

scribekd

so true-i always promise only 30 mins but i play to the end!

10:43 am

beachboggle

I agree, babbz

10:45 am

babbz

You all build such a nice community chatting with each other - I try to not look at the chat box, because if I did I'd be on here all day. Still, it's good to know when you need advice or a smile, it's there for the lurking!

11:24 am

stidmama

rhonda -- a house that is pre-built is pre-***; slang for talking with other folks is co*-(house ending)

11:25 am

EvaNadine

babbz -- it was a tie, but we were ROBBED of a goal. ref called offsides -- there was NO offsides, and added to that, there were 2 penalties that never got called either.

11:25 am

babbz

i don't think the fi 4,8 is a fish

11:25 am

cybernan

that oc 7 is ridiculous

11:25 am

caitlyn

I panicked last night when I was paying for my hols, they wanted 2nd 4th and 5th letters of password luckily I used the correct one !

11:47 am

FMitch

and now of course we have the extra layer of security when shooping on line that demands 4 letters of a particular passowrd - which yuou can never remeber or spell incorrectly!

11:47 am

guernseygirl

i've tried that, but some want letters and numbers, some want more letters than others, some are case-sensitive, some aren't, etc. etc.

11:48 am

caitlyn

Sally's anti-heron pond nets arrived today, after my spending hours on the phone making arrangements, and guess who had to install them after Mr. Nasty didn't speak to me all day! Except to say "We're finished, not married anymore!"

12:33 pm

jmcnrick

that is one of the things i like about DC is the occasional wild life in the middle of the city

12:35 pm

rubyfoo

anyway the pond nets are splendid and we still have the bronze heron on the edge, so I think our remaining 20-25 fish will be OK!

12:36 pm

Barb's Horses

you will have more fish in no time if they all mate

12:36 pm

rubyfoo

I think so, too, FM.

12:36 pm

rubyfoo

hopefully, they're not all girls!

12:36 pm

12:36 pm

Perhaps you should adopt a different strategy ruby. He has heart problems, right? So make him really really mad every day :)

12:41 pm

rubyfoo

his previous ex-wife wouldn't want him, his children are estranged, and I don't have enough money of my own to set him up in a separate house. I think I'll have to tough out the next 5 or so years

12:41 pm

jmcnrick

lol sally for shame!

12:41 pm

rubyfoo

raofl, Sally. You are wicked!!!

12:41 pm

jmcnrick

how about a brandy for him each morning so he sleeps through the day

12:42 pm

Sally-catlover

Sedative in morning drink?

12:42 pm

rubyfoo

but you cqn't imagine how much I appreciate all your support!!!!

12:42 pm

jmcnrick

or a benadryl in his cereal

12:42 pm

FMitch

LOL who knew there were so many murduring wives out there!!!

12:42 pm

bichon

Sound Hitchcockian here

12:43 pm

Sally-catlover

lol, FM!

12:43 pm

jmcnrick

what? not me-- just enough to get him to nod off and not be annoying

12:43 pm

rubyfoo

like my French girlfriend who used to give her husband rohypnol so he'd leave her be....

12:43 pm

Sally-catlover

I still think wires round the pond would be a good idea. Then, when he is leaning over looking at his fish ..... The perfect murder.

12:43 pm

FMitch

oh good lord ruby!

12:43 pm

rubyfoo

This morning he got mad because he said I made a face! I had been up about 15 minutes!

12:44 pm

bichon

I thought rohypnol was what men gave women

12:44 pm

rubyfoo

I'm sure I'm no beautify in the morning but please.....

12:44 pm

jmcnrick

see that would have gotten me to make a face at him! lol

12:44 pm

rubyfoo

beauty, not "ify*

12:44 pm

Sally-catlover

ruby, really, don't be a victim here. If he gets mad because you "made a face", make a really bad one at him to show him what a bad face really looks like.

12:44 pm

rubyfoo

she put it in her husband's scotch to make him pass oout

12:45 pm

jmcnrick

<==agrees with sally this time

12:45 pm

rubyfoo

he said that I am nice to the dogs, to the plumber, to everybody but him!

12:45 pm

rubyfoo

OK, I'll practice in front of the mirror!

12:45 pm

Barb's Horses

oh my you go away for a moment and come back to plotting schemes...

12:46 pm

Sally-catlover

Normally I am a peace maker, but I was once married to a husband who destroyed my self-confidence. Never again. Stand up to him. Show him he's being silly, stick your tongue out, say, yes, boo, be silly.

12:46 pm

rubyfoo

I thought it was a hoot with the pond nets because he was forced to speak to me as he couldn't understand the directions at all and it was easy for me

12:46 pm

Barb's Horses

aw ruby I am so sorry for your unhappiness

12:46 pm

jmcnrick

when my mother got mad when her mind started to go we found that making everything a joke worked pretty well

12:47 pm

jmcnrick

pb for ruby!

12:47 pm

rubyfoo

thank you barb, but I still look at the bright side of this. After all, I could be elsewqhere and not in this beautiful place if not for him. He did, after all, give me the house as an engagement gift!

12:47 pm

bichon

ruby, you're too nice to have to live this way. If it's your house, can't you give him the boot

12:47 pm

rubyfoo

uh oh, sorry for the ho**, into the pb I go

12:47 pm

jmcnrick

nice gift so he must have been okay once

12:48 pm

Sally-catlover

lol ruby, that's a good gift.

12:48 pm

Barb's Horses

wow that is a large gift to say the least

12:48 pm

Barb's Horses

sending in cookies and tea for ruby

12:48 pm

rubyfoo

yes, but he was married to someone else at the time! lol. I should have known better!

12:48 pm

jmcnrick

not to mention all the people who have come and gone over lu***!

12:48 pm

Sally-catlover

I've said it before, I just think he is going senile.

12:48 pm

wildcat17

but the gift does not make up for the years of abuse that followed. ruby, you don't have to live this way regardless of what may happen to him when you leave him

12:48 pm

jmcnrick

<== agrees with sally again

12:49 pm

Riverdance

((RUBY))

12:49 pm

Sally-catlover

Well I think I lu***ed back from lu***

12:49 pm

12:50 pm

rubyfoo

he is really charming with his doctors.

12:50 pm

wildcat17

has mr. nasty seen a doctor recently?

12:51 pm

Sally-catlover

I meant me in this case :-) having been out for a very long and boozy lu888

12:51 pm

jmcnrick

my mother was too ruby . . .

12:51 pm

wildcat17

but they can still observe symptoms regardless of his behavior

12:51 pm

Jeff7

in 6/24 please

12:51 pm

Sally-catlover

sorry, sb lu***

12:51 pm

rubyfoo

sounds like fun, sally, what did you eat/drink?

12:51 pm

jmcnrick

*wonders if there is something satanic about 888*

12:51 pm

Riverdance

you best pull that doctor aside and tell him what is really going on

12:51 pm

FMitch

LOL Sally I can hear you hic uping from here!

12:51 pm

rubyfoo

I've tried that, but the MD's here are very macho

12:52 pm

Jeff7

nm...

12:52 pm

jmcnrick

it may be something as simple as a urinary tract infection which actually causes dementia in the elderly

12:52 pm

jmcnrick

find a woman MD

12:52 pm

Sally-catlover

We sat in their gorgeous garden (6 of us) and started with Pimms, then went onto wine with BBQ and magic salads, then gooseberry fool or chocolate something for dessert, then coffee, then more drinks - then husband drove home. hic!

12:52 pm

jmcnrick

wtg jeff

12:52 pm

rubyfoo

no symptoms. Even when he had the heart attack, he had no pain. He is one tough guy!

12:52 pm

Riverdance

magic salad???

12:52 pm

Dorens

hi all. ruby, sit in your beautiful garden and meditate :)

12:52 pm

jmcnrick

magic salads?

12:53 pm

Sally-catlover

Magic as in delicious.

12:53 pm

Jellen

Hi, Dorens

12:53 pm

rubyfoo

magic salad? Sounds like something my gardener might mix up with funny-shaped leaves.....

12:53 pm

Sally-catlover

Not as in magic mushrooms ;-)

12:53 pm

rubyfoo

hi dorens!

12:53 pm

FMitch

oh sounds brill Sally :)

12:53 pm

Dorens

hi all. just stealing a couple of minutes at work

12:54 pm

FMitch

Hey Dorens!

12:54 pm

wildcat17

hi doren

12:54 pm

Dorens

next wednesday is the last day of school... then I may be on during the day far more often, and will see all you folks more often

12:55 pm

Sally-catlover

Dementia can take many forms, ruby, suggest you have a good google. It can take the form of aggression, and if he is running scared because of his heart attack, his age, the thought you might dump him, he may well lash out with his tongue. Not standing up for him, you understand, just trying to understand what might be going on.

12:55 pm

Barb's Horses

I'm stuck at 18 words...love the chatter but I better do a few things before school is out. bye for all now and (((((special hugs ))))) for ruby and a -----<--<@ too

12:55 pm

Riverdance

wow you still have school? my kids are both out now

12:55 pm

FMitch

Must get some dinner - thanks for the chat.

12:55 pm

Dorens

bye fm.

12:55 pm

Barb's Horses

another week here yet

12:55 pm

Jellen

Bye, FMitch

12:55 pm

Barb's Horses

bye fm

12:55 pm

Sally-catlover

Bye for now FM.

12:56 pm

Riverdance

bye FM

12:56 pm

jmcnrick

bye FM

12:56 pm

Riverdance

that seems late

12:56 pm

Barb's Horses

ruby did you get your flower I sent????

12:56 pm

Dorens

it is usual for here

12:56 pm

Soodle

Hello Everybody. {{{{Rubes}}}}}}. I just sent you a message on FB - hope you enjoy it....

12:56 pm

Barb's Horses

hi soodle bye soodle

12:56 pm

rubyfoo

what a wonderful group of friends. Sally, yes, I've looked up dementia and it surely fits, but I can't put him out with the trash!

12:56 pm

Riverdance

Hi Soodle

12:57 pm

rubyfoo

""soodle}}

12:57 pm

Jellen

Hi, Soodle

12:57 pm

rubyfoo

that was supposed to be hugs.... :(

12:57 pm

jmcnrick

no but there may be a underlying medical condition that can be dealt with

12:57 pm

Dorens

no, you can't ruby, but it can make you feel better to know that it is him and not you, yes?

12:57 pm

Sally-catlover

No I understand that ruby. What you can do is find a way of coping for yourself so his behaviour doesn't distress you.

12:57 pm

Soodle

Ruby, I consider myself hugged :)

12:58 pm

rubyfoo

I think when he had the blocked artery last Sept, it affected the blood flow to his brain and did some damage and made everything go downhill

12:58 pm

jmcnrick

or he can be given a sedative or antiphych drugs

12:58 pm

Dorens

that is entirely plausible

12:58 pm

rubyfoo

I know it's not me. LOL

12:58 pm

Sally-catlover

Perhaps ruby needs the sedative :-)

12:58 pm

rubyfoo

I've tried giving him my Xanax, but he thinks they're addictive! hahah

12:59 pm

rubyfoo

I take Xanax at night and get my 8 hrs sleep, regardless!

12:59 pm

Dorens

yes i know that... but you know what i mean... something physical makes it easier to deal, i would think. (and yes, xanax can be, but sneak them to him anyway)

12:59 pm

rubyfoo

I'll grind them up in his applesauce!

1:00 pm

Dorens

good idea... well, back to the kids now. see you later

1:00 pm

jmcnrick

bye dorens

1:01 pm

rubyfoo

thank you all for this supportive chat. I feel buoyed up and much farther from tears!

1:01 pm

Jellen

Later, Dorens

1:01 pm

Sally-catlover

bye dorens

1:03 pm

jmcnrick

<belch> i need a beer i have been licking envelops during most of this chat

1:04 pm

Riverdance

yuck jmc

1:04 pm

rubyfoo

1:04 pm

jmcnrick

i meant to say blech but belch works too lol

1:04 pm

Soodle

My not so dear, but oh so departed husband skyped me out of the blue yesterday. It was the first time I'd seen him in 3 years. He is bloated, bald and blotchy. And, as luck would have it, I had full make-up on, and my hair was done! Sweet!!!

1:04 pm

jmcnrick

whoo hooo soodle!

1:04 pm

Riverdance

Yes

1:04 pm

Sally-catlover

Vengeance is sweet soodle.

1:05 pm

rubyfoo

make-up and good hair are the best revenge!

1:06 pm

Soodle

Hes clearly very conscious of the baldness, and kept rubbing the top of his head, and I saw that he has gotten tattoos. He is 55!!!

1:06 pm

Riverdance

and did you keep that beautiful smile on your face soodle

1:06 pm

rubyfoo

yuck!

1:06 pm

Riverdance

ewwww

1:07 pm

rubyfoo

and a bright, blue-eyed Irish smile?

1:07 pm

Riverdance

going through another childhood maybe

1:07 pm

Soodle

River, I could barely talk I was laughing so hard.

1:07 pm

rubyfoo

good! sounds perfect. Next, you can sweetly deal with mine!

1:08 pm

Soodle

Gladly, Rubes :)

1:08 pm

Riverdance

we need to find some happy pills for yours and mine ruby

1:09 pm

rubyfoo

sounds like a plane, dancer!

1:09 pm

jmcnrick

<==thinking widowhood has its benefits

1:09 pm

rubyfoo

we know yours was a horrible situation, jmc, but they are no fun when they get old!!!

1:10 pm

rubyfoo

or a plan, maybe

1:10 pm

Riverdance

widowhood *hmmm*

1:10 pm

rubyfoo

like a one-way ticket!

1:10 pm

Soodle

River, are you having man problems as well?

1:11 pm

Sally-catlover

You all realise that if ruby's husband meets a sudden end, we will be veeery suspicious.

1:11 pm

Riverdance

oh yeah

1:11 pm

jmcnrick

lol he can't create problems for me at least! (Other than the in-laws)

1:11 pm

Riverdance

poor ruby has heard my venting by way of email

1:11 pm

rubyfoo

uh oh!

1:12 pm

Riverdance

or start the party plans sally

1:12 pm

rubyfoo

I could start adding butter to his abstemious meals. He might just think they tasted better. Actually, I started tonight!

1:12 pm

rubyfoo

It's amazing how much cauliflower one can eat with butter on it

1:12 pm

Riverdance

death by butter....

1:12 pm

Sally-catlover

Lots of cream, foie gras.

1:13 pm

Sally-catlover

lol ruby!

1:13 pm

Soodle

I am still paying into a life insurance policy on my departed husband. Par-Tay at Soodles when he finally pops his clogs!

1:13 pm

jmcnrick

death by butter is how i want to go

1:13 pm

PinnyPoppins

i'm sure this has been mentioned in the chog at some stage today, but how is cooth and uncooth NOT in the dictionary???

1:13 pm

rubyfoo

unfortunately, I'm the one who likes all that fatty stuff and he eschews it. But I can certainly slip butter into his veggies

1:13 pm

Riverdance

I think there is a different vowel there pinny

1:13 pm

wildcat17

because it's spelled with ou not oo pinny

1:13 pm

rubyfoo

change the vowel in cooth

1:14 pm

jmcnrick

i assumed it is spelled uncouth

1:14 pm

Riverdance

ruby - your little self needs the extra butter

1:14 pm

jmcnrick

oh ty ruby!

1:14 pm

PinnyPoppins

really??? has it always had a 'u' in it??? how bizarre!

1:15 pm

Riverdance

I dont know how to un a co5/16

1:15 pm

jmcnrick

*dances a little jig on teh way to the pb*

1:15 pm

rubyfoo

I eat butter, sour cream sweet cream, potato pancakes, chicken fat, you name it. I'm lucky, I guess

1:15 pm

Riverdance

and do you make piecrust with real lard?

1:15 pm

jmcnrick

asks the woman who lives in the country that puts random U's in lots of words like "colour"?

1:15 pm

rubyfoo

I inherited the good cholesterol gene from my long-lived dad!

1:16 pm

rubyfoo

no, with real butter!

1:16 pm

rubyfoo

that is too funny, jmc, about the u's

1:16 pm

jmcnrick

but true!!! ruby

1:17 pm

Soodle

Lol JMC

1:17 pm

rubyfoo

husband accumulates plaque without eating any "bad" fats

1:17 pm

rubyfoo

if I could just eat white food, I would!

1:17 pm

jmcnrick

but you would be so limited on cheese ruby

1:18 pm

Sally-catlover

oh dear what a shame ruby **sobs crocodile tears for husband's plaque**

1:18 pm

jmcnrick

sally you are in rare form today!

1:18 pm

rubyfoo

yes, but there's ice cream and white vegetables and I would include yellow (for butter, etc)

1:18 pm

KatieMcG

evening everyone

1:18 pm

jmcnrick

oh well if you include yellow. . .

1:18 pm

rubyfoo

hi katie. Do you have any recipes with hidden biutter?

1:19 pm

jmcnrick

hi katie

1:19 pm

Jellen

Hi, Katie

1:19 pm

jmcnrick

personally i need meat and tomatoes and spinach and basil and parsley and eggplants and. . . . .

1:19 pm

Soodle

Hi Katie

1:19 pm

rubyfoo

he won't even eat vichysoisse!

1:20 pm

rubyfoo

and I make the best potato pancakes!

1:20 pm

KatieMcG

can't you just start every meal that needs something fried or browned at the start with butter rather than oil?

1:20 pm

jmcnrick

I thought it was a crime in france not to eat vichysoisse

1:20 pm

rubyfoo

French meat, at least in this region, really isn't worth eating

1:20 pm

rubyfoo

I would have to use some olive oil too, or he might catch on

1:21 pm

Riverdance

I love potatoe pancakes

1:21 pm

KatieMcG

are we trying to sneak it in for good or evil?

1:21 pm

jmcnrick

*thinks sadly of life without bbq ribs*

1:21 pm

Sally-catlover

OK ruby. Plan B. I once wrote a short story about someone who encouraged her neighbour into an early death. She told him that someone fancied him, and what a good shape he was in. She encouraged him (knowing he had a bad heart) to do lots of exercise, go to the gym, go running.... I merely offer this as a random thought.

1:21 pm

jmcnrick

evil katie definitely evil

1:21 pm

rubyfoo

but this is certainly giving me some lovely and evil ideas!!!!!

1:21 pm

bichon

the French have bad meat? I'm surprised. I thought all the food in France was terrific

1:21 pm

KatieMcG

oh good *evil grin*

1:22 pm

Soodle

Katie - welcome to the chog - loads of handy hints on how to murder your husband....

1:22 pm

jmcnrick

ruby has been complaining about the meat there since I met her!

1:22 pm

Riverdance

*taking notes*

1:22 pm

rubyfoo

I've gotten him on a "fast-walking" program, 5 times a week

1:22 pm

Sally-catlover

giggle, soodle. Actually I quite like mine :-)

1:22 pm

Soodle

All suggestions welcome......

1:22 pm

jmcnrick

good thing most of the guys are either not here or lurking

1:22 pm

rubyfoo

I was used to big American t-bones!

1:22 pm

Riverdance

we dont want to make him healthier ruby

1:22 pm

jmcnrick

mmmmm steak!

1:22 pm

bichon

Maybe it's only in comparison, but we would find it great

1:23 pm

KatieMcG

me too but it doesn't hurt to have a back up plan ;-)

1:23 pm

Riverdance

they are hiding jmc

1:23 pm

Sally-catlover

They are probably also making notes

1:23 pm

rubyfoo

maybe I could encourage him into VERY fast walking!

1:23 pm

Soodle

Sally!!! You have no business on here if you are fond of your husband!!

1:23 pm

KatieMcG

you can't blame them if they are lurking lol

1:23 pm

jmcnrick

pb sally

1:23 pm

bichon

Well, I don't eat t-bones. The only red meat I eat is lamb.

1:23 pm

rubyfoo

I miss American meat!

1:23 pm

KatieMcG

anyone seen Nancy Boy recently?

1:23 pm

jmcnrick

i kinda liked my husband too but it is fun to scheme

1:23 pm

Sally-catlover

Running up hills is definitely recommended for people with heart disease, especially if they are 85.

1:24 pm

rubyfoo

funnily, the halaal lamb here is better tahan the lamb I used to get in the US

1:24 pm

Riverdance

saw NB yesterday

1:24 pm

Sally-catlover

Soooor! Does it count if I used the plural?

1:24 pm

rubyfoo

he actually walks up hills.....

1:24 pm

jmcnrick

well they don't squeeze the death out of lamb like they do beef

1:24 pm

Sally-catlover

NB was moving to a new place.

1:25 pm

KatieMcG

oh did they not solve things?

1:25 pm

jmcnrick

well yes sally it does count

1:25 pm

rubyfoo

the beef here is very lean, they don't use feed lots, I guess

1:25 pm

Riverdance

no they did not - its done

1:25 pm

jmcnrick

not much to solve if leo was cheating on him

1:25 pm

bichon

America is not known for its lamb. Most of the good lamb comes from down under

1:25 pm

KatieMcG

oh big hugs out to him!!!!

1:25 pm

rubyfoo

I hope his medical tests were negative!!!!

1:26 pm

Soodle

Poor NB.

1:26 pm

bichon

Ive eaten beef, grass fed, in Argentina. Much more flavorful than American

1:26 pm

rubyfoo

from New Zealand and frozen. Here it comes from Lyon and is very fresh and wonderful.

1:26 pm

Sally-catlover

**Finds hidden choclit in PB**

1:26 pm

KatieMcG

sometimes couples can move on but if not it's better that it was quick! At least he knows we are here for him

1:26 pm

jmcnrick

what medical tests?

1:27 pm

bichon

I get my meat at Costco. Best value, best taste. Seafood too

1:27 pm

Riverdance

you cant blame him for not being able to trust if he did this so early in a relationship

1:27 pm

rubyfoo

his BF was out and about, I'm afraid

1:27 pm

jmcnrick

frozen meat is okay -- frozen seafood not so much

1:28 pm

KatieMcG

i'm not sure I would be able to forgive but I do know people who have, let's hope I never have to find out

1:28 pm

rubyfoo

the seafoood here is even worse than the meat because we are so far inland except for lake fish

1:28 pm

Sally-catlover

Sneaks out of PB. Sensible of him to have tests if that is what he has done.

1:28 pm

jmcnrick

of course, leo was a neophyte and probably was just seeing if it was NB or the real deal for being gay

1:28 pm

Soodle

But still very worrying.

1:28 pm

rubyfoo

but messing about in that situation is just too dangerous

1:28 pm

jmcnrick

but there is no reason NB should put up with it

1:28 pm

KatieMcG

football is about to kick off, I will try not to swear

1:29 pm

The refs have been uniformly bad today.

1:29 pm

gd night everybody, it's kick off time!!!! terrible refs!

1:32 pm

jmcnrick

bye river

1:32 pm

rubyfoo

murder by butter seems to be the best idea so far!

1:32 pm

wht

Because if they beat England it will be easier for the US to make it out of this round. (It is also an unlikely result. England is the much better team.)

1:33 pm

Soodle

And me!!!!

1:33 pm

Sally-catlover

Been making, um, written transcripts, have you?

1:33 pm

Riverdance

Anyway, I need to get back to work.

1:34 pm

Riverdance

1:34 pm

rubyfoo

Sally-catlover

KatieMcG

1:36 pm

Atalante

FM!

1:36 pm

rubyfoo

he almost drowned in our little fishpond once when he slipped and his waders filled up. The gardener dragged him out; I would have just stood there because he's much too big for me!

1:36 pm

Atalante

Haz is a bit busy ....

1:36 pm

KatieMcG

what is she doing

1:36 pm

rubyfoo

1:36 pm

1:36 pm

FMitch

1:36 pm

rubyfoo

raofl!!!!!

1:37 pm

Sally-catlover

FMitch

I have been building/boosting her up all day in the chog :)

1:38 pm

Sally-catlover

Actually, if he visited, we have an electric fence. Perhaps I could wire it direct into the mains by mistake. Stupid women, never understand electricity.

1:38 pm

KatieMcG

lmao at Zap

1:38 pm

Atalante

1:38 pm

1:42 pm

Sally-catlover

1:46 pm

Aloyisius

1:46 pm

jmcnrick

1:47 pm

Sally-catlover

Copper rings will protect some plants, Aloy

1:47 pm

KatieMcG

in a hotel last night and some drunks came back at about 1 am and woke me up, they were talking for about 20 mins, I couldn't be bothered to put clothes on to go out to shout at them but it was a close run thing

1:47 pm

jmcnrick

use salt on the sidewalk/patio and under the rocks where slugs love to stroll for the evening

1:48 pm

jmcnrick

hope you have the bailbondsman on speed dial katie

1:48 pm

FMitch

1:48 pm

jmcnrick

*imagines katie running nakid in the hall to yell at drunks*

1:48 pm

KatieMcG

someone I knew had beer and thought that it was just encouraging them round for a party there were so many of them

1:48 pm

Aloyisius

ty for that suggestion, jmc.. there are indeed rocks near the flowers.. FM, the only beer I had was left over from my "Octoberfest" dinner.. good German beer, gone to the slugs, sigh

1:48 pm

FMitch

LOL

1:48 pm

KatieMcG

Cheer up, jellen, I also know who Mr. Preminger is. You are not alone in your geekdom!

3:59 pm

MizHoffle

ahh, I tried googling it, but nothing close to that came up

4:00 pm

Jellen

Love old movies...

4:00 pm

SamanthaJoy

MizHoffle -- if you Google "Preminger" he's the first four entries. Apparently he's not as obscure as I thought he was. :)

4:01 pm

Soodle

Just checking did my new photo upload properly....

4:02 pm

MizHoffle

well, I just did it in the IE bar and it listed other Premingers

4:02 pm

SamanthaJoy

Oh, you're using Bing. Well, then, all righty, I s'pose.

Jellen

We're thinking about getting a dog...

4:04 pm

SamanthaJoy

I didn't even know that IE had an option to use Google. They're ridiculously exclusionary; when did they give their customers options to go open source/

4:04 pm

MizHoffle

I don't know...maybe something to do with Windows 7

4:04 pm

Atalante

oh Soodle! is he a spaniel??!!

4:05 pm

SamanthaJoy

Might be. I haven't even looked at it yet

4:05 pm

Pure Mongrel, Ata-Hari! Spaniel ears, though!

4:05 pm

Atalante

Atalante

4:06 pm

Jellen

Yay for mongrels!

4:07 pm

Soodle

Pure bonkers!! Life is one long round of cleaning up pee, pooh, and trying to recover assorted socks, mats, sweeping brushes etc from the jaws of Buster!!

4:07 pm

BettyAnne

I need a co5/12 please. I have the one that sounds like a former late show host. Thanks,

4:07 pm

MizHoffle

I need that one too, bettyanne

4:07 pm

Atalante

SamanthaJoy

He looks like a puppy

4:08 pm

Soodle

Only 9 weeks old.

4:11 pm

Atalante

you'll always find people quite willing to listen to puppy drivel here for hours!

4:12 pm

Jellen

Did I miss his name?

4:12 pm

Soodle

Buster! But a neighbours child has been calling him Budget, which I fear, might stick.....

4:12 pm

Atalante

hi jellen. has anyone got a clue for the pi8 please?

4:16 pm

Soodle

Ata - we took one look at him, and decided there and then that he was, indeed, a BUSTER! Besides, I used to be a big fan of Enid Blyton's Five Find-outers, and they had a dog called Buster, and if its good enough for the Five-Find-Outers, well, its good enough for me!

4:16 pm

Jellen

Nancy Boy

Oh same, Magyk - when I first came to London I was frantic about finding a job! What kind of thing are you looking for?
And...not really. There have been several 'incidents' since what happened, so I didn't tell him where I was going. Best he doesn't know!

6:13 pm

Magyk

Well right now I'm working in an elementary school but because it's summer...nothing! I'm wanting to come back to Europe for a time. I miss it.

oh yes Magyk, a great deal of family over there - none of whom I'm in contact with, though. When I was disowned, my family here sent the message across to them that I'd died, and there is the language barrier as well...I suppose one day I'll go and alert them to my existence.

7:53 pm

Nancy Boy

lots of music festivals have them now, River ;) strange idea but it works

7:53 pm

crosshair

what they do is gather around with a single i-pod full of their favorite music and set it to shuffle, and select a single song to be the "bullet" usually a celine dion tune lol

7:53 pm

Nancy Boy

oh Jilly, you don't realise how important sleep is until you start missing it. EVERYTHING is wrong!

7:54 pm

Nancy Boy

lol Crossy!

7:54 pm

Jillyjill

Ya, really a basic human need. I think I'd rather starve than go thru lack of sleep EVER.

7:55 pm

crosshair

my apnea told me the import of real sleep,i was sleeping 1.5 hours a night for months before i got the cpap machine

7:55 pm

Nancy Boy
