12:27 am

12:28 am

got the 8's, thanks, grem! :)

12:28 am

gremlinn

the second is common, the first is not that common but most people should know it

12:28 am

MLFAN17

the one htat has to do with space

12:28 am

MLFAN17

tlhat

12:29 am

rbud

it seems misspelled somehow... the second as8, I mean

12:29 am

gremlinn

the space one?

12:29 am

MLFAN17

the space one is spelled correctly as in outer space

12:30 am

cybernan

have the space one -- no I dea on the first one

12:30 am

rbud

ok, I guess it's the first one, just thinking of it as the second or not-so-easy one, lol

12:30 am

MLFAN17

me either cyber

12:30 am

gremlinn

the first one might look misspelled because you can change the first vowel and have another word

12:30 am

gremlinn

I guess the first as8 is only somewhat common under the "correctly spelled" way

12:31 am

gremlinn

first as8 means "To make uneven; roughen" - I thought it would be an alternate spelling

12:32 am

melonheadjujube

ex+the first a8 is a more familiar word. to drive someone up the wall.

12:32 am

ARB

melon hi

12:32 am

gremlinn

wouldn't be surprised if it shared etymology

12:32 am

angelinaxox

tx melon

12:34 am

melonheadjujube

hi, ARB. My kid was in the ER last night - exhausted, maybe dehydrated. They got right on it and took good care of him. Other than that, his counselor says he's doing great and has endeared himself to everybody.

12:34 am

cybernan

ty melon -- that did it for me

12:34 am

melonheadjujube

grem - it occurs to me, to.

12:34 am

cybernan

over half way -- enough for now -- see you tomorrow :)

12:35 am

ARB

melon -- typical summer malady here -- so hot, so much sweating and not drinking enough water. Good you're getting such great reports.

12:37 am

MLFAN17

well this AS8 is driving me up the wall lol

12:38 am

gremlinn

change the front "a" to "re" and it sounds like the word meaning to breathe

12:39 am

melonheadjujube

most certainly, ARB. Adam, Fred's counselor is taking him shopping to buy one of those water packs with the tube that goes straight to your mouth. They were doing a building project at Yemin Orde school in the Galil.

12:41 am

ARB

Just think of it -- in 30 years he'll show his kids or grandkids the wall he built and brag about it!

12:42 am

melonheadjujube

yep!

1:19 am

saintfranny

i think i've just made a small revelation... i'm 44, and have always been a 'night owl' (its 2am and am currently rearranging my living room).. i think it's time to Embrace that fact and quit fighting it to be on "normal hours". thoughts?

1:20 am

jillibus

top row greyed, haha

1:20 am

saintfranny

i feel my best and am most productive in the wee hours, most days

1:20 am

flosey

I've always been a night owl sf

1:20 am

saintfranny

i mean, is that so wrong??

1:20 am

sandyloo

I can only say one thing franny, I used to be exactly the same as you , but I always felt tired

1:21 am

flosey

lol jilli, ru was bragging about that earlier!

1:21 am

jillibus

welcome to the club, sf, although I'm not quite as nighty as you.

1:21 am

rururocks

jilli and ru.. the top row gang

1:21 am

sandyloo

Now i go to bed early and have so much more energy , but I say to each his own!

1:21 am

saintfranny

well, that's just it sandy! i Am always tired, but because i try to get up and live the day as 'normal' ppl do.. i should just embrace being up/sleeping in "late".. i rarely sleep more than 7 hrs all said

1:22 am

saintfranny

plus, for some reason, i just really don't like morning. maybe it reminds me of crap jobs i hated that i had to go to at the crack of dawn, or school, or w/e

1:22 am

sandyloo

I was like it for years but I appreciate not being tired now

1:22 am

bekki

glad to hear I'm not the only one who likes to stay up late and do things Its a good thing saintfranny

1:22 am

saintfranny

yay bekki! :)

1:23 am

jillibus

I sleep 8 or 9 hours and get up late and too bad if people don't like it. The only trouble is that so much here takes place in the mornings. Early birds are rather intolerant.

flosey

1:26 am

jillibus

G has been on here for the past few nights -- J is busy writing a book.

1:26 am

saintfranny

tx flosey. i know it's something we all must face, but it was very sudden (she was only 67) and i just wasn't ready. miss her so much.. my last living relative too.

1:26 am

saintfranny

oh yah? i will have to try to catch them elsewhere.

1:26 am

jillibus

So sorry about your mom, sf -- it's hard, I know.

1:28 am

flosey

my mom was almost 94

1:28 am

rururocks

I hope I live to at least 70

1:28 am

saintfranny

1:28 am

bekki

I know how you feel. My husband passed away june 7

1:28 am

gremlinn

I'm hoping for a few thousand.

1:28 am

sandyloo

and the only relative-that makes it worse

1:28 am

sandyloo

me too gremlin

1:29 am

saintfranny

am just not sure how to deal with it, except time. my best friend just lost her newlywed husband, and she's adrift too, in a diff. way. don't know what to tell her either.

1:29 am

rururocks

1:51 am

jillibus

yes, well I wasn't here early enought for alerts this time ;)

1:52 am

jillibus

3:25 am

sandyloo

Hi everyone.

3:25 am

m9f9l

hi sandy

3:26 am

sandyloo

Can you see the horse or the manta ray in my icon m9?

3:27 am

m9f9l

horse.. but I see manta at profile. let me refresh

3:27 am

m9f9l

now I see manta

3:28 am

sandyloo

m9 , did you read my manta ray story? and m9 what is an "unschooling mom" ?

3:29 am

m9f9l

I did! that is very cool!

3:29 am

sandyloo

it was so cool!

3:30 am

m9f9l

i need to change what I wrote...since I changed my icon to the parasitic castrator of hemigrapsus oreganensis!

3:30 am

rubyfoo

goo9d morning!

3:31 am

m9f9l

I homeschool my children sandy. unschooling is a specific parenting/homeschooling style.

3:31 am

m9f9l

hey ruby!

3:31 am

sandyloo

morning ruby, I bet you loved the controversy last night! and m9 what is an 'unschooling mom"?

3:32 am

rubyfoo

yes, hahah, boo hiss on Alberto!!!!

3:32 am

sandyloo

sorry i see now - you are amazing! My cousins were home schooled but they lived on a sheep station

3:33 am

sandyloo

I am in two minds about that Ruby, after all did he know? (I know Lance would have waited and has done in the p***) and what could he do? I dont know what I think

3:34 am

sandyloo

Al looked sheepish on the podium

3:34 am

sandyloo

Ruby, read my icon story

3:35 am

m9f9l

nice connection. sheep station...looking sheepish...

3:36 am

sandyloo

m9 you would have to be very organised- my cousins mum was a school teacher and she had very strict times. she had two children who were both dux at their boarding schools (which they went to in upper school) they are now both vets

3:37 am

m9f9l

no..it's not like that at our house sandy.

3:37 am

rubyfoo

I can't get into the profiles now, will try again later. The computer freezes when I try....It also has another hairball!

3:37 am

sandyloo

she obviously did a great job

3:38 am

sandyloo

Ruby, I can just see your face when that happened last night! I said to my daughter that I wished I was at your place with you watching the tour\

3:39 am

rubyfoo

what fun we would have! I stand there yelling at the screen and DH stays in the other room!

3:39 am

m9f9l

i don't see how there can be so many TO words!!!

3:39 am

sandyloo

I wish I could do the 'startrek' transporter thing. I would love to watch the Tour with someone else who loved it

3:40 am

sandyloo

I have three only to words

3:41 am

rubyfoo

it is true. DH sometimes puts it on in the other room, just to spite me and then acts like he's invented the whole thing!

3:41 am

m9f9l

ohhh! I remembered the to word that ends in the double vowel from the other day!

3:41 am

sandyloo

We could have a lot of fun

3:42 am

rubyfoo

quick 40 words but I have the feeling this is a deceptively easy grid, that after 50, the walls may close in.....

3:42 am

sandyloo

I got 139 before I went to lickety , now I am looking at lickety

3:42 am

rubyfoo

and drink margueritas or something!

3:43 am

rubyfoo

or sangria.....

3:43 am

sandyloo

they all sound fine to me

3:43 am

sandyloo

I am looking for that m9

3:44 am

sandyloo

Got it!

3:44 am

m9f9l

yay!

3:45 am

sandyloo

I wonder who will win Ruby - I think Contador may get there

3:45 am

m9f9l

I got nbt and over halfway and then I listed

3:45 am

sandyloo

Lance must be a saint! I dont think at that stage I would have waited

3:46 am

sandyloo

LOL at that stage, I would have been resting in a hospital bed

3:46 am

rubyfoo

I'm afraid Contador will win but will be much hated. I am hoping for Vino to win and for Lance to take the Tourmalet on Thursday!

3:47 am

sandyloo

Hmmm I don't think he will be able to take the Tourmalet - I think he is getting too old

3:47 am

rubyfoo

wishful thinking, but fun anyway. Maybe Contador will fall and everybody will ride OVER his prone body!

3:47 am

sandyloo

LOL I was thinking he might have an accident

3:47 am

rubyfoo

the commentators think he is conserving his strength but they like him, too, even though they're French.

3:48 am

sandyloo

You mean Vino? I know our commentator Phil Ligget (english) doesn't like him

3:49 am

sandyloo

He got caught by putting in someone else's blood sample

3:49 am

sandyloo

Let's face it , it could have been any of them

3:49 am

rubyfoo

I didn't like him when he was head-to-head with Lance but since he's serve his 2-year suspension for drugs and has learned French (unlike Al!!!!), he seems to have had a personality transplant

3:50 am

rubyfoo

and I would like to see him break Contador's heart!

3:50 am

sandyloo

Not sure but he seems ok , still think he has that propensity to ride for himself and not the team

3:50 am

rubyfoo

76 words!

3:50 am

sandyloo

We are forgetting about Andy's heart!

3:50 am

rubyfoo

I'm counting on that!

3:51 am

rubyfoo

but he is still young, not like Lance and Vino. And I really think he needs his brother near him to add the oomph he lacks

3:51 am

sandyloo

I am having a huge laugh here

3:53 am

sandyloo

I felt sorry for him last night

3:53 am

rubyfoo

it is so nice to be able to talk about this with a friend; nobody here is interested, even the gardener!

3:54 am

sandyloo

Ruby, do you have any children?

3:55 am

rubyfoo

my son lives in Texas, a few blocks from Lance's Austin home (he has many, I think), but it is his wife who is a fan.

3:55 am

rubyfoo

no grandchildren, however, her choice

3:56 am

sandyloo

I have no grandchildren either, but I have four children

3:56 am

rubyfoo

I just have the one; are your young enough to still have children of their own?

3:56 am

sandyloo

do you go to visit you son and hang outside Lance's house? LOL

3:58 am

m9f9l

bingo! 4th column

3:58 am

rubyfoo

before Lance left his first wife for Sheryl Crowe, John used to see him cycling in the neighborhood occasionally. My son comes here more than I go there. It takes 23 hrs to get to Austin from here, 3 flights!

3:58 am

m9f9l

ok. 47 to go...I'm to bed!

3:58 am

rubyfoo

47! you are amazing, M9

3:58 am

m9f9l

didn't he go back to his wife??

3:59 am

rubyfoo

how widely separated are your children, sandy?

3:59 am

sandyloo

oldest daughter is 39- just broke up with her boyfriend next is 35 she is Nicky and has lots of health problems, next is 29 and has a boyfriend (maybe they will have one) next is 25 (only boy) and well you never know

3:59 am

Sally-catlover

Way! 100 to go. Now I can chat. How is everyone today?

3:59 am

rubyfoo

I didn't know? Sheryl had breast cancer, and he broke up with her soon after.

4:00 am

rubyfoo

so you have lots of time to be a "mamie" (Fr word, lol)

4:00 am

sandyloo

hi sally i have 125 left

4:00 am

rubyfoo

hello Sally

4:00 am

Sally-catlover

Haven't listed, so now I think I have done the easy ones and will slow down to a crawl.

4:01 am

rubyfoo

speaking of drugs......

4:01 am

sandyloo

three live here in Perth (nicky with me) and son is in Melbourne - Diana is in Broome (29) they love me and spend as much time with us as possible

4:02 am

sandyloo

that means 2 live in perth Di in Broome and Stuart in Melbourne

4:02 am

rubyfoo

you are so lucky!!! I'm close with my boy, but our communication is by phone and e-mail. He was here in May, so it's not so bad

4:02 am

rubyfoo

and, after all, I am the one who left the US!

4:02 am

sandyloo

I love to see them , but I worry about them all the time as we mothers do

4:02 am

Sally-catlover

Are they close to each other as well sandy? (I don't mean geographically)

4:03 am

m9f9l

nope.. has kids (naturally after the cancer!) with his girlfriend.

4:03 am

m9f9l

ok.. and now I really AM to bed!

4:03 am

Sally-catlover

Do you ever think of going back to the US ruby?

4:03 am

rubyfoo

sweet dreams M9!

4:03 am

rubyfoo

never!

4:03 am

Sally-catlover

Hi and bye m9

4:03 am

rubyfoo

only if I get sick

4:03 am

rubyfoo

couldn't leave garden and dogs

4:03 am

m9f9l

thanks ruby!

4:04 am

Sally-catlover

That was said with some feeling!

4:04 am

sandyloo

They are Sally, they are really caring about eachother - I think it is because Bruce and I come from large families- I have 34 first cousins and we all love eachother madly

4:05 am

sandyloo

Mum came from a family of eight and was bought up on a sheep station and they had to take care of eachother as it was a hard life

4:05 am

Sally-catlover

That's wonderful sandy. I only have two first cousins, and am very close to one in particular. Have one brother and one sister, and although I care about them I wouldn't say I am as much on the same wavelength with them as with my cousin.

4:05 am

rubyfoo

that is lovely, Sandy, I come from a family of many cousins but husband was an only child with no family to speak of. I think that's why he has no contact with his 3 children or 5 grandchildren. It's sad, but there is nothing I can do although, believe me, I have tried

4:05 am

sandyloo

no electricity, phone , cars , washing machines etc. and very isolated making for strong family bonds

4:06 am

sandyloo

I have one brother and one sister and we are also very close

4:06 am

sandyloo

Ruby that is very sad and he will regret it I feel

4:06 am

rubyfoo

we were in NY, but mother was one of 4 and father one of 5 and each set of aunta and uncles had at least 2 children, so lots of cousins on both sides and most of them in NY

4:07 am

rubyfoo

he already does, but it is a problem he has brought on himself and he won't admit how sad it makes him which would be the first step in fixing it

4:07 am

sandyloo

I love the extended families - a lot of them had sheep stations and we would spend our school holidays with them - I guess that is why i love the rural life

4:07 am

rubyfoo

and, don't forget, I'm his 4th wife!

4:08 am

rubyfoo

sheep stations -- how wonderful and exotic!!!!

4:08 am

sandyloo

I hope you will be his last- he must have been a charming man at one stage

4:08 am

rubyfoo

when I met him, he was magic!

4:08 am

sandyloo

It was great going for holidays

4:08 am

Sally-catlover

A hard life ruby. T's cousin had a sheep station we visited in Oz (they've now retired). Wonderful to visit, but very hard.

4:09 am

rubyfoo

all I know about sheep, I have learned from movies (like almost everything else!!)

4:09 am

sandyloo

Not so hard as it used to be Sally, they have a lot of mod cons nowadays

4:10 am

sandyloo

one of my cousins had a station that was one million acres

4:10 am

Sally-catlover

gulp

4:11 am

sandyloo

he divided it into two stations and has sold both now

4:11 am

rubyfoo

unimagionable for a city girl!! Our 1/2 acre seems vast to me

4:11 am

sandyloo

The best person in our family is my mother , she is fantastic even at 83

4:12 am

sandyloo

All my cousins adore here

4:12 am

sandyloo

her

4:12 am

rubyfoo

it sounds like you are the best person in the family, maybe after your mother.....lol

4:12 am

Sally-catlover

A big close family like that is the best thing in the world. I was lucky that I had, on the whole, a very close and loving childhood. No money but much fun - and PB for sandy.

4:12 am

rubyfoo

BTW, 100!

4:12 am

Sally-catlover

Two PBs for sandy in fact.

4:12 am

sandyloo

LOL of course I am perfect!

4:13 am

rubyfoo

ooh, I didn't have that he4

4:13 am

rubyfoo

ty sandy

4:13 am

Sally-catlover

Yay for ruby!

4:13 am

sandyloo

ooh not so perfect I guess

4:13 am

Sally-catlover

lol

4:14 am

sandyloo

I got another he4 when I looked for that

4:14 am

rubyfoo

missed the second one -- putting monkeys to work

4:14 am

Sally-catlover

You can get a plural from that, and an he 6/21

4:14 am

sandyloo

got both of them thanks sally

4:15 am

Sally-catlover

Just read backwards ruby :-)

4:15 am

Sally-catlover

It's a good job we don't have a D near one of the Es in the grid or we would have about 500 words!

4:16 am

sandyloo

I was thinking the other day about childhood, we did so much with no TV and the neighbourhood kids

4:16 am

rubyfoo

it is terrible that kids now don't just go out and play, unsupervised!

4:17 am

rubyfoo

I caN'T IMAGINE TAKING KIDS TO LESSONS EVERY DAY AFTER SCHOOL THE WAY THESE YOUNG MOTHERS DO NOW

4:17 am

sandyloo

it is Ruby, we certainly did in relative safety

4:17 am

Sally-catlover

Calm down ruby!

4:17 am

rubyfoo

WE'D COME BACK FOR DINNER AND, IN SUMMER, GO OUT AGAIN UNTIL DARK!

4:17 am

sandyloo

although when I was little I picked up a snake

4:17 am

rubyfoo

whoops, didn't mean to get worked up....hahah

4:17 am

Sally-catlover

Tsk, tsk! Blood pressure!

4:17 am

rubyfoo

warming up for the pedals

4:18 am

Sally-catlover

Ah, that's something you don't do lightly in Australia.

4:18 am

rubyfoo

I have the blood pressure of a snake....

4:18 am

sandyloo

I didn't get bitten

4:18 am

Haz1558

Don't mention the s word, sandy... Good morning/evening all!

4:18 am

Sally-catlover

Hi Haz.

4:18 am

rubyfoo

4:18 am

rubyfoo

hi haz

4:18 am

sandyloo

hi haz

4:19 am

Haz1558

Hello! Nice grid today, isn't it?

4:19 am

Sally-catlover

Just found such an obvious ar4! Someone hit me with a fish.

4:19 am

sandyloo

oops time to feed and rug bblater

4:19 am

Sally-catlover

It's a really lovely grid Haz

4:19 am

Sally-catlover

Bye for now sandy.

4:19 am

rubyfoo

bye sandy, see you after the race! boo hiss to you-know-who!!!

4:20 am

rubyfoo

great grid, love those builders!

4:20 am

Atalante

LOL poor Contador put a message up on youtube apologising to Andy. and hi!

4:20 am

Haz1558

Hello, Ata, how are you?

4:20 am

Sally-catlover

Aaah! Just found my first 8. A lovely un-monkeyed one too.

4:21 am

rubyfoo

I'll try to find it. Too funny. How are you, Ata? How are you doing on the pedals?

4:21 am

Sally-catlover

Flowe rwith a robot ending ruby.

4:21 am

Atalante

rather tired, no idea why though!

4:21 am

Atalante

Hobbit didn't even bother with the arranging of the paws after our walk, she just went straight to sleep!

4:22 am

rubyfoo

looking for the flower

4:22 am

Haz1558

How funny, it's the word usually used to illustrate the infamous robotic ending.

4:22 am

rubyfoo

it's great that you can walk her again! did you arrange your paws after?

4:22 am

Haz1558

Dear me, Ata, she must be tired. She'll be nice and fresh for the ceremony later.

4:23 am

Atalante

I probably should!

4:23 am

rubyfoo

ty for that additional hint after Sally's, haz, it took both for me to find it

4:23 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, ruby.

4:24 am

Sally-catlover

There's a 7 in the middle of those two as well ruby. First 5 letters are the same. Not such an obvious one though.

4:25 am

Haz1558

And the bulk building drug.

4:25 am

Haz1558

Unknown to any athletes.

4:25 am

Sally-catlover

Yes, I had that one early on.

4:25 am

rubyfoo

not my Lance!!!

4:26 am

Sally-catlover

Have Accomplished the As. Greyed the top row fairly on too :-)

4:27 am

Sally-catlover

/early/ on

4:28 am

Haz1558

What was your technique for greying the top row, Sally? Minimum top row blank tiles with all fingers or did you use any sort of restriction?

4:29 am

Atalante

NBTEWT! hurrah!

4:29 am

rubyfoo

off to lunch, see you later, stopping at 122! {{hugs}}

4:29 am

Haz1558

Bye, ruby.

4:29 am

Sally-catlover

I decided if I got just one from each, that would be a good start.

4:29 am

Haz1558

A deceptively simple technique.

4:29 am

Sally-catlover

OK, translate please Ata.

4:30 am

Atalante

no blank tiles even while tired

4:30 am

Sally-catlover

rofl!

4:30 am

Sally-catlover

And bye ruby.

4:30 am

Sally-catlover

Lunch? Only just had breakfast.

4:30 am

Haz1558

Well done!

4:32 am

Haz1558

But was it MNBT or NBTWVIWA?

4:32 am

Atalante

oh .... NBTWVIWAABPA

4:33 am

Haz1558

No blank tileswith variation in words achieved and a BPA?

4:33 am

Atalante

and before paw arranging :P

4:33 am

Haz1558

Ah! I might have laboured long and hard before I'd have come up with paw arranging.

4:34 am

Sally-catlover

BIAM

4:34 am

Haz1558

Back in a minute.

4:34 am

Haz1558

You can't fool us.

4:35 am

herinfernallady

HEllo

4:35 am

Atalante

it seemed suitably unlikely :)

4:35 am

Haz1558

Hello, herin.

4:36 am

herinfernallady

HOw you all?

4:36 am

Haz1558

I'm fine, thanks.

4:36 am

herinfernallady

I was not going to start

4:37 am

Atalante

bet she's gone to get tea without asking us

4:37 am

Haz1558

Probably.

4:38 am

Haz1558

I don't mind on my own account, not being a tea drinker really, but you could probably do with a cup.

4:38 am

Haz1558

Walking and getting no blank tiles even while tired deserves a cup of tea.

4:39 am

herinfernallady

I think so

4:39 am

herinfernallady

Ata how is your knee?

4:40 am

Atalante

annoyingly painful!

4:44 am

FMitch

Morning/evening all.

4:44 am

FMitch

Have you been over doing it again Ata?

4:44 am

Haz1558

Hello, FM.

4:44 am

Atalante

nooooo!

4:45 am

FMitch

Hi Hazarus

4:45 am

FMitch

well, rest up between now and Friday OK!

4:45 am

FMitch

and I am off to the PB

4:45 am

Haz1558

And take lots of drugs.

4:46 am

FMitch

Give her some of your blue and pink stripey ones Haz.

4:47 am

Atalante

I really haven't, for once :) Very short easy walks with the pup :)

4:47 am

Haz1558

But I need them.

4:48 am

FMitch

you don't take them, you just wear them as a pretty necklace - it is not the same.

4:48 am

FMitch

I keep telling you that!

4:49 am

Haz1558

It's still reassuring to see them.

4:49 am

Atalante

do you want to see one of the cool photos I tookthis morning?

4:49 am

herinfernallady

owies ata

4:49 am

FMitch

Hi herin.
yes please Ata.

4:50 am

Sally-catlover

Back with large tray of tea and coffee and home-made shortbread. Please help yourselves :-)

4:50 am

Haz1558

Hooray! Sally's a good egg after all.

4:50 am

Atalante

there. a bit squooshed, but 2 egrets having a tiff!

4:51 am

Sally-catlover

After all? Did you seriously doubt it?

4:51 am

FMitch

oooh homemade shortbread, you are a st4 Sally. I knew I liked you from the start.

4:51 am

Haz1558

Ata thought you had just gone off to make tea for yourself without thinking of us.

4:52 am

Sally-catlover

The egret picture alongside the spinach ball recipe boggles the mind somewhat.

4:52 am

FMitch

That must ahve been a sight Ata!

4:52 am

Atalante

I said it was a possibility ..!

4:52 am

lynxxx

Make room for me, I just got the other 8 so deserve a coffee and shortbread - thanks Sally.

4:53 am

herinfernallady

Hi FM

4:53 am

herinfernallady

Hi Sally

4:53 am

Sally-catlover

One of the nice things about having had lots of people over is that there's food in the house :-)

4:53 am

Atalante

it was, both were trying to be big and important, then egret on the left flew at EOTR. Much flapping and shrieking later and EOTR flew off

4:53 am

Haz1558

Hello, lynxxx.

4:53 am

Sally-catlover

Organic Fairtrade coffee too.

4:54 am

Haz1558

That's OFTC in acronym speak.

4:54 am

sandyloo

hi again

4:54 am

herinfernallady

mmmmm coffee

4:54 am

Haz1558

Hello, sandy.

4:54 am

herinfernallady

Sandy Hi

4:54 am

sandyloo

4:54 am

Sally-catlover

Sorry Haz. WTTDBNT.

4:54 am

Haz1558

Will try to do better next time.

4:55 am

Sally-catlover

Ding ding!

4:55 am

Atalante

she's good at this

4:55 am

Haz1558

I should have been one of those Enigma people.

4:56 am

Atalante

do you watch ONly Connect, Haz? on BBC4

4:56 am

Haz1558

No, I don't think I've ever seen it.

4:56 am

Atalante

you really would love it! have a look on iplayer

4:57 am

Haz1558

I will - is George Clooney in it?

4:57 am

FMitch

Returns to the log, had a deliery from Amazon.

4:57 am

Atalante

about connections between words and things. quiz show thing with victoria coren

4:57 am

Atalante

unfortunately not

4:57 am

Haz1558

Shame, but still, it's worth a look.

4:57 am

Haz1558

What did you get, FM?

4:58 am

Atalante

I think you'd like it, rather a lot

4:58 am

FMitch

4 books

4:58 am

herinfernallady

What books?

4:58 am

herinfernallady

Sandy Have you seen the new Anti Gillard Advert?

4:59 am

FMitch

"The Help" as it has been much talked about in the log.

4:59 am

sandyloo

oh yes herin, I have seen that - and I have seen her advert

4:59 am

sandyloo

as a swinging voter, I feel the anit gillard ad is more powerful , but I have been slightly impressed by what she has done so far

4:59 am

FMitch

"The Time Traveler's Wife" and "The Girl with Glass Feet" which were both on cheapy sale

4:59 am

herinfernallady

And can I say that the advert is baseless

5:00 am

herinfernallady

O FM that sounds like great reads

5:00 am

FMitch

and finally a gardening book on how to prune and cope with roses and shrubs.

5:00 am

Haz1558

Daughter 2 loves the Time Traveller's Wife.

5:00 am

Sally-catlover

They've made a film of "The Time Traveler's Wife", haven't they. I think someone said the book was far better.

5:01 am

Haz1558

Did you not order Jordan's latest blockbuster?

5:01 am

FMitch

Whole lot cost about Â£14 and no delivery charge.

Yep Sally, thats why I thought I would try the book

5:01 am

herinfernallady

FM is that the Kathryn Stockett book?

5:01 am

Sally-catlover

Googles " Girl with Glass Feet"

5:01 am

FMitch

Yes herin.

5:01 am

herinfernallady

Thanks

5:02 am

FMitch

I wouldn't even buy that at a car boot fair Haz.

5:02 am

sandyloo

where is sprite lately

5:02 am

Haz1558

But FM - she has children to support. And Alex.

5:02 am

Sally-catlover

Gosh, brilliant reviews. Must put it on my wish list.

5:02 am

herinfernallady

THe Girl with the Glass feet is that by Shaw?

5:02 am

Atalante

and she's such a popstar too

5:03 am

FMitch

Will SMith did a movie of The Legend but the book is so much better and has a different ending. Hollywood adapt for the box office.

5:03 am

Sally-catlover

adapt - one of my phantoms for today.

5:03 am

Haz1558

I know - Renaissance Woman for the 21st century really.

5:03 am

FMitch

again yes herin - have no idea what the book is going to be like but it sounded intreguing.

5:03 am

herinfernallady

It does sound interesting FM

5:04 am

Atalante

there was a hilarious piece about her in the Mail the other day about how she didn't sing her latest song, didn't write it, got the lipsyncing wrong etc etc

5:04 am

FMitch

mmmm new book smell :)

5:05 am

herinfernallady

Original movie The Last Man on Earth was better. I Am Legend by Richard Matheson

5:05 am

Sally-catlover

You too FM! Could just sit and sniff in a book shop.

5:05 am

FMitch

Did we expect any more than that Ata?

5:05 am

herinfernallady

Richard Matheson

5:05 am

Atalante

oh no, it was just so funny. let me see if I can find it again

5:05 am

FMitch

lol Sally

5:06 am

herinfernallady

Jordan as in Plastic popstar?

5:07 am

Atalante

not the same - but there's a pic frm the performance at the bottom - http://tinyurl.com/2uqp4vs

5:07 am

FMitch

Just totted up, I paid Â£14 for the books and if I had bought each one at their RRP they would have cost me Â£31, I love Amazon :)

5:07 am

FMitch

yes herin.

5:08 am

herinfernallady

shudder. I don't even know how she can breath let alone write. There is nothing in her skull

5:09 am

Atalante

apart from botox

5:11 am

Sally-catlover

So Jordan's real name is Katie Price, right? (Just read the article). You can see what a fan I am of these things.

5:11 am

Sally-catlover

Remember seeing a film with Elizabeth Hurley doing an introduction. She was like a walking non-advert for Botox.

5:12 am

Atalante

yes SAlly

5:12 am

Haz1558

Apparently botox can be used successfully to alleviate migraine headaches.

5:13 am

Sally-catlover

I think I'll stick with the migraine :-)

5:14 am

FMitch

I can't imagine having such toxins injected into me at all!

5:16 am

Sally-catlover

But FM, Ata told me you had had masses of Botox but were trying to keep it quiet!

5:16 am

Atalante

only cos Haz told me!

5:17 am

Sally-catlover

So it's blame Haz, not blame FM today then.

5:17 am

Haz1558

Everybody knows I am the SOD. The leak came from someone else.

5:17 am

FMitch

Oh Ha ha, how come it didnt show up in the pics of our London meet then, huh? huh? Someone round here is telling porkie pies!

5:17 am

Haz1558

(SOD is NOT what it sounds like. Soul of Discretion)

5:18 am

Sally-catlover

But think what you would have looked like /without/ the Botox then.

5:18 am

Atalante

or it was after that!

5:19 am

Sally-catlover

Good thinking Ata.

5:19 am

FMitch

I don't need botox, I have no wrinkles apart from round the eyes.

5:19 am

sandyloo

I am loving this conversation

5:19 am

Atalante

true. you don't look a day over 60!

5:19 am

sandyloo

I have had a good laugh today

5:20 am

FMitch

oh you are so kind, and you are ageing well at 45!

5:20 am

Sally-catlover

Nothing wrong with wrinkles. They tell the story of your life. A face without wrinkles is a face that hasn't laughed. That's what I tell myself when I look in the mirror anyway.

5:20 am

FMitch

but I would get a new wig soon.

5:21 am

Sally-catlover

I keep going into the Body Shop, but they never seem to have a new body for sale.

5:21 am

FMitch

I am happy with my wrinkles but one day it is all going to catch up with me.

5:21 am

sandyloo

how come my hands are wrinkled they never laugh

5:21 am

Haz1558

Mirrors are always kindest when you don't put your glasses on, aren't they?

5:21 am

sandyloo

we have one that makes us look slim

5:21 am

FMitch

LOL Sally that used to be my joke - I wanted a new body in size 12 but they never had any in stock.

5:21 am

Haz1558

Those magnifying mirrors should be outlawed.

5:22 am

Sally-catlover

lol sandy. We have these new hand dryers over here which are very high speed. When you put your hands under or in them all the wrinkles flow up and down like water!

5:22 am

Haz1558

It's incredible, it's like seeing g-force at work.

5:22 am

herinfernallady

Excuse me. Can I please spam you all for the moment. I have been informed that this cat on the Whiskers Promotion if she wins her fur mum is donating the winnings to Pets Haven

5:22 am

sandyloo

sounds like heaven sally ....

5:23 am

Sally-catlover

Did you ever see "The Devil Wears Prada"? All those Size Zero women.

5:23 am

FMitch

Oh there was a lovely bronze sculpture I saw on Saturday of a very rotund woman standing in front of one of those carnival mirrors that makes you look thin. It was a funny and well executed piece.

5:24 am

herinfernallady

Please vote for Theo: http://tinyurl.com/2fqhsj7

5:24 am

FMitch

Love that move Sally (hangs head), it is so funny.

5:24 am

FMitch

5:24 am

Sally-catlover

Since Theo is my grandson's name, I have no option. Will go and do.

5:25 am

FMitch

Time for me to go, had breakfast at 5am so now it is time for lunch. TTFN.

5:25 am

Thank you. They are trying to get 10 000 Votes.

5:29 am

6:40 am

Sally-catlover

Actually, it was a different he you used, as in He's my he**!

6:41 am

sprite

6:51 am

and are you now, BabbleRabble?

6:55 am

o-o

The days have been challenging but that is just the way it is. This is my quote to think about today:

6:55 am

o-o

"Whenever someone sorrows, I do not say, "forget it," or "it will pass," or "it could be worse" -- all of which deny the integrity of the painful experience. But I say, to the contrary, "It is worse than you may allow yourself to think. Delve into the depth. Stay with the feeling. Think of it as a precious source of knowledge and guidance. Then and only then will you be ready to face it and be transformed in the process."
--Peter Koestenbaum

Hello, inge

NonoNanette

Hello Inge

6:57 am

sprite

that is a good one. Recognition is very important, while pretending it is less than it is can be desastrous. Still, I wish for you that at least some days may be pleasant.

6:58 am

Hi sprite. I rarely chat but eavesdrop sometimes. Sooner or later, is I chat, I input words in this column instead of in the grid - hopeless.

7:01 am

7:25 am

Cheshire Badger

You're all very dedicated. I like this game but when I saw that one had to pay in order to have a picture and a flag I am afraid that the spirit of Ebenezer Scrooge invaded my body and sewed up the zip of my purse.

7:26 am

FMitch

Cheshire you are not just paying for the icon and flag but the stats panels as they disappear after a 2 week trial period - and after all it is only a one off payment.

7:26 am

sandyloo

ches, I spent that $15 four years ago and it was worth every cent

7:26 am

carleekat

it also gets u the stas at the bottom...( yes...back in the pb i know i know)

7:27 am

Riverdance

It was the picture and flag for me - it was thanking Dr God for al his hard work so we can have fun

7:27 am

sandyloo

seems longer.....

7:27 am

carleekat

and it is a one time fee...for lifetime....worth it...and i dont play regularily

7:27 am

Riverdance

*wasnt

7:27 am

sandyloo

I wanted my flag

7:28 am

carleekat

and yes..dr god really takes care of the site...whenever some bratty kid gets on here and starts loading up the chog with rubbish...he deals with it quite efficiently

7:28 am

Cheshire Badger

Ah, I did not realise that.

7:29 am

Anniebrook

the best $15. I have ever spent

7:29 am

NonoNanette

Ches, it took me a while but I finally opened up my purse strings and paid the fee. It has been well worth it

7:29 am

FMitch

It is worth it Cheshire if you are into the game.

7:29 am

carleekat

well...was 20.00 cdn at the time

7:29 am

Anniebrook

Hi FM!

7:30 am

NonoNanette

Hi FM!

carleekat

7:32 am

NonoNanette

hi Dorens

7:32 am

Dorens

reading back, putting in my two cents to cheshire... this is the best $15 i ever spent.. i play it daily, have spent that much more on things that brought far less pleasure. Dr G deserves the paltry little amount, with or without stats, flags, etc.

7:33 am

Dorens

hi non, annie, river, and ..... carlee.. long time. how have you been?

I will do that Nono

8:09 am

Anniebrook

Mom, Yes, the repairman was here and fixed it. He is also getting me a new pull for the broiler...will look like a new stove again.

8:10 am

crosshair

oops

8:10 am

carleekat

yay for annies oven

8:10 am

Anniebrook

hi crossy!

8:10 am

NonoNanette

a broiler? now thats a thing of the past

8:10 am

carleekat

i need to start baking again..havent had time or inclination for ages

8:11 am

sprite

crossy, you cannot sp4 in chat like that.

8:11 am

Anniebrook

Nono, Steaks under the broiler are yummy. Do you grill instead?

8:11 am

crosshair

best oven i had was gas and had the old broiler underneath

8:11 am

carleekat

i grill steaks...too much mess in the oven the broiler way

8:11 am

NonoNanette

yes Annie I do. My new stove does not have a seperate broiler

8:12 am

Dorens

yes, crossy... seems those broilers got hotter than the ones today.. i have a new gas oven and broiler is on top... just not quite the same

8:12 am

Cheshire Badger

I think the best ovens are the ones similar to the ones one grew up with. I can't bake anything in a gas oven...it all goes horribly wrong.

8:12 am

crosshair

we used to use it for toast for our big family back in the day dorens,you could do 20 slices of toast at a time lol

8:13 am

Mom

Carlee, how cute.

8:13 am

NonoNanette

oh gosh yes Crossy we used to do toasted cheese sandwiches that way

8:13 am

Dorens

i believe the best combo is gas for cooking, electric for baking

8:13 am

carleekat

my mother has same problem with hers chesh... she cant do a turkey...

8:13 am

Mom

Annie, I'm glad it is all fixed

8:13 am

Pinikula

Eva, does he have someone in his office who could find out which is appropriate for you?

10:36 am

Judi

10:37 am

10:37 am

11:32 am

Jacula

Ata - I only made half the amount of the soup recipe. Since my son's over in Canada at present, there's only me he4 that e4 soup. Gave half away to my Mum, along with some of the gooseberry jam, apricot curd and tutti-frutti preserve I made yesterday.

11:32 am

FMitch

Cross polination could be interesting: periprim for example.

11:33 am

Jacula

Hi FMitch. LOL

11:33 am

11:37 am

periwinkle

oh yes I took her to the vet, cost me $450 and the meds cost me an additiona $84.50. just realized this am that I am putting way too much of the gel med in her ear :( she seems ok tho. but I will run out sooner

11:37 am

periwinkle

another vet wanted to charge me over $800 for the same tests!!

11:37 am

flosey

does anyone have a clue for ta5/10 ta6/18 please after the plural of road surfacing stuff

11:37 am

FMitch

Jacs I guess you could freeze the chicken pie filling in batches (w/o the pastry)?

11:38 am

FMitch

$800!! good heavens!

11:38 am

Jacula

Yes, I would think so, FM.

11:38 am

periwinkle

I almost fainted when she told me that

11:39 am

rururocks

is the first ha a normal word?

11:39 am

Jacula

flosey - I have ta5/10 what the buds on your tongue do and the 6 is the action.

11:39 am

FMitch

Take a ta of Jaculas pie flosey and then you will be the ta6

11:39 am

helensgirlkid

There are three pairs with those stats: one pair has to do with buds in your tongue; one with north and east warrior tribe; and one with pot***oes

11:39 am

flosey

ah, thanks FM - thought my request got lost in all the recipes

11:40 am

Jacula

ruru - my first ha is an ha4/5 (Scottish word for 'has')

11:40 am

FMitch

or ta5 = ta + repeat the letters + cons.

11:40 am

flosey

first ha6/21 ru, not normal at all to me

11:41 am

rururocks

thank you jac

11:41 am

Jacula

Ah, got that ha6. Thanks flosey.

11:41 am

FMitch

12:39 pm

EvaNadine

i have it on at all times -- never know when you may just happen to cross the pond. ;)

12:40 pm

EvaNadine

river -- i usually attack him more thoroughly, but we must let the ankle heal. :)

12:40 pm

Nancy Boy

If it doesn't stop doing what it's doing, Judi, I'm gonna cut the thing off. It's displaying shades of blue, sea green and lemon yellow today...bet you're glad you asked ;)

12:40 pm

12:42 pm

Judi

Sounds very colorful, NB. The bottom of my foot did that when I blew out all the ligaments. Hubby said, "OMG! You're foot is purple! I guess you really did hurt it!" UHG. Yeah, I was fake screaming when I did it, fake screaming through the X-rays and fake crutching.

12:42 pm

EvaNadine

just think of the upper arm muscles your building! ;)

12:43 pm

hello jellen, how are you doing?

12:44 pm

Jacula

Hello Jellen.

12:44 pm

Nancy Boy

LOL Judi, you drama queen. How did you manage to do that, though? I only tore one little ligament and that's bad enough.

12:44 pm

Judi

I'd like to thank the Academy... but most of all, the pharmaceutical companies for the pain killers.

12:44 pm

Jellen

Jac! Haven't seen you in ages!

12:45 pm

rubyfoo

aaaah opiates -- almost a phantom.....

12:45 pm

Riverdance

buts its sister drug is here ruby

12:46 pm

rubyfoo

yup

12:46 pm

Nancy Boy

I thought about gloves, but in this weather...bleh. Have put socks over the hand-bits of the crutches instead. 'Cause, you know, I wouldn't want to look STUPID.

12:46 pm

rubyfoo

and in the cosmos

12:46 pm

Judi

I'm still not sure. I just stepped off of the landing down into my garage and POW. Next thing I know, I was rolling around on the garage floor, cursing and crying. I had to crawl back into the house to use the phone.

12:46 pm

Nancy Boy

I know Eva, wait till my ankle heals, I'll be coming back here all macho and showin' off ma guns...

12:46 pm

Riverdance

maybe you need some st7 to help grow big strong muscles

12:47 pm

Judi

*guffaw* socks *snort*

12:48 pm

Riverdance

then all the cuties will ad*** you

12:48 pm

Nancy Boy

Agh! Must have been some weird ankle, or else a sudden serious betrayal from whatever forces are supposed to keep ligaments in place.

12:48 pm

rubyfoo

ty for those, river

12:49 pm

Jacula

FIREWORKS!:-)

12:49 pm

Nancy Boy

All the cuties already ad*** me...winking at Eva.

12:49 pm

Riverdance

12:49 pm

I hope the cat finds a good home, very soon.

1:46 pm

Christine

Oh Lord, there's a $30,000 mattress on the television news. This is news??

2:01 pm

jesdraggon

back again

2:02 pm

crosshair

that mattress better be surrounded by a house for that price lol

2:02 pm

Christine

In So.Cal, it would be a kitchen, only.

2:03 pm

crosshair

lol,no,the news is the frame is extra!! lol!

2:03 pm

crosshair

thought for the day...."I liked literature, except for the poetry part, and history involved a certain discipline and organization that I'd always found to be elusive," he recalled. "So that left philosophy, which didn't have a lot of facts or results to keep straight. As Hume puts it, any chain of reasoning more than three steps long can be ignored, so I became a philosopher and have been happy ever since."

2:05 pm

Christine

Another thing that amazes me is there are people who 'try out' the bed, and then buy it (over a hundred at one store, in just under two years) - the lie on the bed for five minutes, then plunk dow their money. Wouldn't you need to sleep on the mattress, to know it's a fit?

2:06 pm

crosshair

i would need to move into the display room for ayear i am thinking

2:06 pm

Christine

Thought for the day from whom?

2:07 pm

crosshair

from some university prof who shall remain nameless

2:07 pm

Christine

I like it.

2:08 pm

crosshair

it does have a certain something...

2:11 pm

crosshair

does not matter from who anyways.remember,there are only 7 original ideas,all the rest is just various forms of plagiarism lol

2:12 pm

EvaNadine

7 original ideas, 7 deadly sins...
coincidence?
discuss...

2:14 pm

crosshair

for example,you may find d 1000 books that all have a scene of a person driving a car over a cliff each book can be copyrighted because of author 'parsley" that the scribe surrounds it with to make it his own;)

2:14 pm

jesdraggon

there are also 7 sacraments and 7 cardinal virtues

2:14 pm

EvaNadine

7 days of the week...

2:15 pm

Nancy Boy

*pops head in* I thought there was only one sin ;) and there is, if you think about it.

2:15 pm

jesdraggon

7 dwarves

2:15 pm

jesdraggon

hi nancy boy :)

2:15 pm

Nancy Boy

LOL Jes!

2:16 pm

mmm 7 dwarves...wonder if they draw straws at night lol

2:18 pm

EvaNadine

(((snuggles NB)))

2:18 pm

Nancy Boy

well, if you think about it, it's stealing! if you kill someone you steal their life; if you lie you steal someone's right to the truth...and on, and on!

2:18 pm

jesdraggon

what does pride steal?

2:19 pm

Nancy Boy

everyone else's good time ;)

2:20 pm

crosshair

and on and on and on till we weave a web of truth and lies that cannot be seperated and in the end it matters not because we are just a grain of sand on some intergalactic beach

2:20 pm

Nancy Boy

Still around, Eva! I thought you had a wedding or something to that effect?

2:20 pm

jesdraggon

that's stretching...

2:20 pm

crosshair

mm..crossy needs his meds...

2:20 pm

Nancy Boy

this evening, that is. I know you're having one in a few months ;)

2:21 pm

EvaNadine

hah, im at work, silly.

2:21 pm

Nancy Boy

Well Jes, that's why I'm a bartender and not a philosopher ;)

2:21 pm

EvaNadine

not even 3:30 here

2:21 pm

jesdraggon

the two are not mutually exclusive...

2:21 pm

crosshair

lol,i can trip the light fantastic till the question itself is a mystery nb:))

2:22 pm

EvaNadine

normally i roll out at 3:30, but i cam in late so i could stay late. will leave here in about an hour + a half...

2:22 pm

jesdraggon

but the answer is still 42, even when the question is a mystery, crossy

2:22 pm

crosshair

of course it is 42

2:23 pm

crosshair

we all know that..sheesh!

2:23 pm

EvaNadine

hah, oh dear. just did one last check of our wedding registries before we make them public to our friends and family (though a few people already know where they are) and i see that one item has already been purchased -- and dear fiance will be very, very happy -- it is his keggerator.

2:23 pm

2:25 pm

EvaNadine

much like all of the toys, posters, and comic paraphernalia that he put on the amazon.com registry.
*facepalm*

2:25 pm

crosshair

nothing says just married like not being able to go for a frosty beer lol

2:26 pm

EvaNadine

he didnt seem to get the memo that it is a wedding registry, not a "everything chris has ever wanted in his life" registry...

2:26 pm

crosshair

yaa for a keggerator!!

2:26 pm

car.eeyore

Hi All! Hi Eva! I was thinking of you this weekend at the wedding I went to! Some really cool ideas!

2:26 pm

EvaNadine

such as?? :)

2:27 pm

Nancy Boy

LOL Crossy!

2:27 pm

crosshair

2:27 pm

Christine

My Mum always said

2:28 pm

jesdraggon

half way. calling on lickety for backup :)

2:28 pm

car.eeyore

They were married by the ocean, so they had a starfish motif throughout...but not obnoxiously so...but their place cards were in a sandbox and had a starfish on them. The card had the name and table number on it and said "Please be Seeded" on it. The starfish on the place card was made from seed paper and it is plantable!

2:28 pm

crosshair

though..bringing the empties back to the beer store is harder lol

2:28 pm

car.eeyore

The other thing I loved...instead of a box to put cards in for the bride & groom...it was a crafty lobster pot!!!!!

2:29 pm

EvaNadine

hey, crossy, HE scanned it, not me! so clearly, he must not WANT to leave the house. ;)

2:29 pm

EvaNadine

The program at the wedding was also very different...layered pieces of velum on a piece of coordinating paper..tied just at the top with a thin ribbon bow.

2:30 pm

Christine

Oops, just noticed NB's post @ 2:18pm

2:30 pm

car.eeyore

I was VERY impressed with the small details throughout. Also, something they did to save money, the reception place had a "fake cake" decorated to match their theme. They took pictures "cutting the cake" but then another, less expensive cake, was cut in the kitchen and served to guests.

2:31 pm

Christine

NB, you're not old enough to have knowm my Mum, but I think you have the same ideas.

2:32 pm

EvaNadine

the "downside" to this keggerator (if you want to call it that) is that it only works with the Heineken mini-keg. so heineken for everyone!

2:34 pm

crosshair

ohh,a small one,too bad....we have a company here that uses the old round top fridges and makes full size keggerators out of them;))

2:35 pm

Nancy Boy

Sorry, phone had a tizzy. Well Christine, I may as well get along with -someone's- mum ;)

2:35 pm

Nancy Boy

Eva, that's good!! Heineken is the only vegan beer I'm aware of.

2:35 pm

crosshair

though heineken is nice...

2:35 pm

crosshair

all the other beer has meat?????

2:36 pm

EvaNadine

yeah, it had to be a wee one, otherwise i may have overruled him... we really dont have the space for that kinda thing, but his eyes lit up when he saw it.
(much like mine did at the thought of potentially getting a kitchenaid mixer!)

2:36 pm

crosshair

may switch to wine in that case...

2:37 pm

EvaNadine

ooh, educate me, NB!
i never knew beer wasnt vegan... whats in it thats not vegan?

2:37 pm

crosshair

my wife would rip out my beating heart and eat it if i got her any kitchen ware as a gift....

2:37 pm

Nancy Boy

Isinglass - it's in lots of wines, too. It's made from fish bladders. Nummy nummy num!

2:38 pm

crosshair

remember to check out what they use for fertilizer on those crops nb:))

2:39 pm

EvaNadine

generally, kitchenware isnt a great gift.
however, i would love ALL new kitchen stuff right now. so we registered for everything -- pots + pans, dishes, gadgets, appliances...

2:39 pm

Nancy Boy

Though, I'm not a fan of beer anyway, so makes no odds to me ;)

2:40 pm

EvaNadine

interesting, i never knew that!
so, when i was in college + helped coordinate a vegan thanksgiving dinner, my friend, who made beer bread, may have potentially brought a non-vegan dish!

2:42 pm

Nancy Boy

Well Jesse is my name; useless trivia is my game ;)

2:42 pm

crosshair

one day read whats in all the cosmetics lol

2:42 pm

2:45 pm

Not to worry Crossy, all my cosmetics (oh dear) are perfectly animal-friendly.

2:46 pm

crosshair

lol,then it is all good

2:46 pm

jesdraggon

cosmetics? hahahahahaaahaahaahaaha! it would be utterly pointless for me to wear makeup--way too often i have been licked and slobbered on before 9am :P

ingredients: sweet potatoes, peanut oil and/or high monosaturated sunfower oil, salt.

not too bad...

2:47 pm

crosshair

i do my own in virgin cold pressed olive oils and a dash of sea salt..yummers

2:48 pm

Nancy Boy

*whispers* for my fellow asians, white eyeliner on your waterline will open the eyes up!

2:48 pm

EvaNadine

ive tried a few times to make my own, but they never quite crisped up...

2:49 pm

jesdraggon

oh damn. i think i just figured out who my 1:00 appointment is. *headdesk*

2:49 pm

crosshair

do not use the extra virgin oil,as it has a low smoke point eva,use the stahdard virgin oils and you will be able to get the temp up

2:50 pm

Nancy Boy

that bad, Jes?

2:50 pm

crosshair

the good thing about *headdesk* is that it burns 96 calories per hour while you are doing it and it feels real good when you stop;)

2:53 pm

jesdraggon

they were told by a different veterinarian 3 years ago that the dog had severe hip problem and would need surgery.

2:54 pm

jesdraggon

they came to me and told me something entirely different than what the referral records said

2:54 pm

jesdraggon

i told them that the dog had a severe hip problem and would probably need surgery.

2:54 pm

crosshair

and now it has gotten so bad due to lack of timely care....

2:54 pm

jesdraggon

now they're back (this is the first time i've seen them since, but they may have gone elsewhere since)

2:54 pm

jesdraggon

and say that the limp is (SURPRISE!) worse.

2:55 pm
