it was an exciting race, and the views of the Tour were the most fabulous I have seen - and terrifying on that beautiful descent
2:08 am
rubyfoo
Ikept thinking Lance would take one of the mountains and maybe even the stage! All the French announcers can do is rave about all the Fr stage wins!
2:08 am
rubyfoo
Do you think Lance has any chance for taking Thursday's stage?
2:09 am
rubyfoo
I love the old castles and the gorges (gorgeous lol)
2:09 am

I hope that if Lance can't do it, Vino breaks Alberto's heart!

I think it will be Contador, because he really does have such a strong team- I would love to see someone else win tho
2:12 am
sandyloo
Jilli, if you had been there you wouldn't have believed it! It was as big as the boat and we thought it was going to land in the boat on us
2:12 am
jillibus
How's our Canadian (Victorian) Ryder doing?
2:13 am
rubyfoo
read your profile, sandy, and I, too, love rays but have never seen a big one. In Miami the leopard rays would swim right near anybody in the water, really beautiful
2:13 am
jillibus
Did you take that picture, sandy?
2:13 am
rubyfoo
he hangs on, jilli, seems like a solid "ryder" and may be the future
2:13 am

2:14 am
jillibus
good for him
2:15 am

Lots of really huge mantas up near Dampier and we would see them when we were snorkeling often - but not too often as there were lots of sharks

2:17 am
rubyfoo
unfortunately, I only get to watch what they show live so I never hear the"extra" stuff, just read it in the paper or hear it from you
2:18 am
jillibus
sorry -- "...in the dress...Kindles in her a wantonness..."
2:18 am

ruby, I only watch the live too, but our commentators are different from yours so that is where i get those bits

3:38 am
rubyfoo
we really need rain. watering the tomatoes is a nasty job because there is no water wource in that part of the garden. There used to be a tap for "mountain" i.e. non-potable water, but it was really excpensive because it always leaked underground
3:39 am

but at least we seem to have a lot of tomatoes this year. Some years, all the tomatoes in the valley turn black!

3:49 am
herinfernallady
I can barely breath
3:50 am
rubyfoo
that is really nice; things like that can really gnaw at you.....
3:51 am
herinfernallady
It seems like a genuine appolgy not a hollow one
3:52 am
rubyfoo
take it for its face(book) value; it is still an apology
3:52 am
herinfernallady
Ruby what I mean is it wasn't a yeah sorry about that but a I have been looking for you and wanted to say this
3:53 am
rubyfoo
that is even better; it sounds like she means it or she wouldn't have bothered looking for you
3:54 am
herinfernallady
Yes. I just don't know what to say
3:55 am
Kallia
got to go...is this hard or is it me....53 left for later
3:55 am
rubyfoo
don't feel bad, kallia, I still have 60 left and it probably won't get much better
3:55 am
Haz1558
It's a pick apart grid, Kalia, see you later.
3:56 am
Kallia
oh I dont feel bad :)
3:56 am
Kallia
later guys
3:56 am
rubyfoo
just thank her, what else can you say? and maybe tell her it fixed an otherwise poopy day!
3:57 am
herinfernallady
Ruby. I believe that it takes a lot of courage to face up and apologise for actions done in the past.
3:57 am
rubyfoo
I think so, too; most of us can't do that.
3:58 am
rubyfoo
how long ago was the problem?
3:58 am
rubyfoo
bye kallia
3:59 am
rubyfoo
best word: ni7/32 gas
4:04 am
herinfernallady
snort Ruby
4:04 am
rubyfoo
ty, I didn't see that! lol
4:05 am
rubyfoo
and then I thought it was a word, duh
4:05 am
herinfernallady
seems like you got hickups
4:05 am
rubyfoo
gulping my OJ
4:06 am
rubyfoo
so what happened bad today?
4:08 am
herinfernallady
Teacher was a meany, my phone ate the last year worth of SmS's which means I have lost a lot of memories. I feel like half my brain is gone
4:08 am
rubyfoo
that's like having your computer crash and losing all your correspondence!
4:08 am
rubyfoo
can you back up SMS's?
4:09 am
rubyfoo
My son is always telling me to back up what's on my computer, but I never do and live in fear.....
4:09 am
rubyfoo
it would be losing 12 years of my life and letters!
4:11 am
herinfernallady
Ruby I lost 2 years worth of poetry and writing when BOTH copies of the floppy disc died
4:11 am
rubyfoo
that's awful!
4:12 am
herinfernallady
Backing up your pc isn't hard. You can buy a one or 2 terribite these days and just put everything across
4:12 am
rubyfoo
he keeps saying that, but I am too lazy and hardly ever go out of the house except to lunch and there are no shops
4:13 am
herinfernallady
Ruby you could order on Amazon UK
4:13 am
rubyfoo
and today computer is making "hairball" noise again
4:13 am
rubyfoo
that's a great idea, or amazon.fr What is it called?
4:14 am
rubyfoo
ANd probably not even expensive. Does it come with instructions?
4:15 am
rubyfoo
and I could call it "My life" hah hah, very pretentions and banal!
4:17 am
herinfernallady
Ruby My b.f recommends this brand: http://tinyurl.com/344aw2r
4:18 am
rubyfoo

4:18 am
rubyfoo

4:20 am
herinfernallady
no Problems. It is something that a friend recomends.
4:23 am
rubyfoo

5:23 am
Jacula
Hi Ata. I'm here.
5:24 am
Jacula
Did you make the soup?
5:25 am
Atalante
not yet, I think I will tonight though
5:26 am
Jacula
I'll be having mine for lunch today. Gave half to my Mum.
5:27 am
Jacula
Trying to get grid done before this afternoon's threatened thunderstorms come. Will not have computer on then!
5:27 am
Atalante
not convinced these thunderstorms will turn up!
5:27 am
Jacula
Sky's a bit black here.
5:28 am
Atalante
blue skies, no clouds here!
5:28 am
Jacula
Half blue, half black here!
5:29 am
Atalante
sounds possible then :)
5:29 am
Jacula
Be better if it doesn't rain - I've got some planting out to do. Need to empty greenhouse before next week, so Beloved can repair it. It's a cedar one, was 2nd-hand when I got it 30 years ago and is probably same age as me!
5:30 am
Jacula
Pity Beloved can't 're-build' ME, too. LOL
5:30 am
Atalante
LOL :) wouldnt that be nice
5:34 am
Atalante
plastic surgeons are so much more expensive LOL
5:35 am
Jacula
Ah, but if Beloved rebuilds me I'll probably end up with a wooden leg, albeit in cedar. LOL
5:37 am
Atalante
at least cedar smells nice!
5:39 am
Jacula
Are you saying my real legs SMELL? LOL
5:39 am
Atalante
looooool
5:40 am
Jacula
Actually, they do - of n-spa Coconut Icecream body cream.:-)
5:44 am
Atalante
oooo lovely! love coconut
5:44 am
Jacula
Got it from ASDA, along with matching shower cream. It smells lovely.
5:45 am
Jacula
I was so busy trying to make the first 'aw' word I 'saw' (not asleep) that I failed to see the real 'aw' word (not at home) until just.
5:46 am
Jacula
I see the God of Love is hiding up the corner, too.
5:46 am
Atalante
I just love Asda
5:46 am
Jacula
BBS - the cat wants me for something.
5:50 am
Jacula
Whoops! I'd forgotten his breakfast so he was doing that Simon's Cat 'FEED ME!' thing.
5:50 am
Atalante
LOL!! Poor cat!!
5:51 am
Jacula
I haven't had breakfast yet either and I'm not moaning. LOL
5:51 am
Atalante

5:52 am
Jacula
Hi Haz. How true!
5:52 am
Atalante
lol very true
5:52 am
Haz1558
Hello! Just passing through, unusual to see so few around.
5:53 am
Atalante
I know! where is everyone?
5:53 am
Jacula
Probably all hiding in the corner with the God of Love.
5:53 am
Haz1558
I've no idea. People earlier came on, said hello, posted a few more times and then off they went.
5:53 am
sandyloo
i'm lurking
5:54 am
Haz1558
It'll probably happen to us sooner or lat.....
5:54 am
Atalante
hi sandy!
5:54 am
Jacula
Hello sandy.
5:54 am
sandyloo
hey at, did you watch the tour last nite
5:54 am
Haz1558
To the PB Sandy!
5:54 am
Atalante
I did! CAn't believe they are making everyone do the Tourmalet twice!
5:55 am
sandyloo
oh no!!! hmmm
5:55 am
Atalante
she was speaking french
5:55 am
sandyloo
the scenery was stunning and the race exciting
5:55 am
sandyloo
that's right Haz, I was speaking french
5:56 am
Haz1558
That will never do. This is an English speaking site. You can't let pesky foreign words in.
5:56 am
sandyloo
how lucky you are to live so near to the continent
5:56 am
sandyloo
ah c'est la vie
5:56 am
Haz1558
That's mkg's opinion, isn't it? Keep the foreign words out.
5:56 am
Atalante
tant pis
5:57 am
Jacula
sandy - was that accompanied by a Gallic shrug?
5:57 am
Atalante
I say ban all the weird scottish ones
5:57 am
Jacula
NOOO - Ata - I can get all those easily!
5:57 am
Haz1558
The Scots ones are weird! We use them and they're highly descriptive. You can gulder at a hallion and feel really satisfied.
5:57 am
sandyloo
ma typing est ne bien pas
5:57 am
Haz1558
Not weird, I should have said.
5:58 am
sandyloo
as is my french
5:58 am
Haz1558
Votre typing est rubbish.
5:58 am
Atalante
Haz a beaucoup de tact au jour d'hui
5:59 am
sandyloo
I wonder if there is a 'french babble'
5:59 am
Haz1558
Haz est dans le mood to parler sa mind.
5:59 am
sandyloo
je suis dans le mood to partake de vino
6:00 am
Atalante
Haz a eu un jour mauvais?
6:00 am
Haz1558
Not vraiment. Je suis diplomatique, je have un certificate de Henry Kissinger.
6:01 am
Atalante
ah oui, c'est vrai
6:01 am
sandyloo
un certificate de Henry Kissinger! c'est tres bonne!
6:02 am
Haz1558
J'ai donne mon word that je serai diplomatique.
6:02 am
Atalante
toujours?
6:02 am
Haz1558
Aussi diplomatique que possible.
6:03 am
Haz1558
Ce serait difficult si someone disait quelque chose de nasty a propos George.
6:04 am
Atalante
Je suis en awe
6:04 am
sandyloo
moi aussi
6:04 am
Haz1558
C'est understandable.
6:05 am
Atalante
George? Cet acteur affreux Boo!
6:05 am
sandyloo
bonjour Sprite
6:05 am
Haz1558
Ce ne'est pas everyone qui can at5/18 ce certificate-la.

How I wish French was the language I was learning. Certainly sexier than Korean.
6:10 am
sprite
you can always start learning french, Nancy Boy, and hi :)
6:10 am
Atalante
7 k's. urf
6:11 am
sandyloo
Sprite, you could be the 'dr god' of a new 'french babble'
6:11 am
Nancy Boy
Afternoon :) I'm not sticking around long, got another horrendously long day at work coming up. How are you all?
6:11 am
sandyloo
very well but cold here nb
6:11 am
sprite
sandy, never. I am happy being a sprite. No ambitions to become either a dr or a god, let alone both.
6:12 am
sprite
how's the ankle, Nancy Boy? Any good results from the healing vibes yet?
6:12 am
sandyloo
wow Sprite, that is some fish!
6:13 am
Nancy Boy
Alas Sprite, I ruin the good work of the vibes by going to work and standing on the ankle for twelve hours in a row. Can't really do my job on crutches - nice to see the ever-changing pattern/colours of bruising, though ;)
6:14 am
sprite
*doubles healing vibes towards Nancy Boy*
Remember, dearheart, that if you ruin your ankle permanently, it will be worse for you than deciding now to let it heal for a day... (sorry to sound motherish)
6:14 am
sprite
isn't it, Sandy!
6:14 am
sprite
*seconds Ata* URFF!
6:15 am
FMitch
NB buy some Arnika from a chemist - homepoathic rememdy and brilliant for healing and bruising.
6:16 am
FMitch
Hello all! am on hold on the phone again.
6:17 am
sprite
canned music and endless choice menus?
6:17 am
Nancy Boy
I know you're right, Sprite, but I'm between a rock and a hard place, money-wise - especially with the trip coming up. If I want to buy anything (like, food) between then and now, it's a cycle of twelve-hour days for me! ;)
6:17 am
Nancy Boy
Thanks, FM, will look into it! :)
6:17 am
rubyfoo
hello again everybody
6:17 am
rubyfoo
the chat is hilarious!!!
6:17 am
FMitch
yup - oh got real person now. TTFN.
6:18 am
Atalante
FM!! arnica is wonderful, my physio recommended it
6:18 am
Jacula
NB - arnica cream or even witchazel will help your bruise.
6:18 am
rubyfoo
it is so hot this afternoon -- again!! when will this heat wave end?
6:18 am
rubyfoo
hi jacula
6:19 am
sprite
I understand so well, Nancy Boy. Just wanted to say that money-wise you will be worse off when your ankle is taking longduring damage or even, god forbid, permanent damage. Be wise. Arnica, yes, and rest for the other 12 hours, gentle rubbing (upwards from foot to upper leg), and receiving of heaps of healing vibes...
6:19 am
rubyfoo
sending healing vibes!!!!
6:20 am
Jacula
sprite - you took the words right out of my mouth!
6:20 am
sprite
it IS hot. A great summer, though sleeping and being active is both tough.

Alright. Thanks, all, will follow this good advice as much as is possible!
6:21 am

6:21 am
rubyfoo
I almost fell down a whole flight of stairs this AM but caught myself just in time. And DH was oblivious
6:21 am
rubyfoo
hello kaplan!
6:21 am
sprite
yayyyyyyyyyy Jac, good job!
6:21 am
Kaplan the Magne
Yeah, yeah, I know.
6:21 am
rubyfoo
he was standing right there and didn't notice!
6:21 am
Jacula
ruby - hate it when that happens. Really makes your heart thump, doesn't it?
6:21 am
Kaplan the Magne
Hi, Ruby, how are you?

6:23 am
rubyfoo
were you naughty
6:24 am
sprite
oh rubyfoo, you don't know a 10th of me, lol. I can be fully evil.
6:25 am
sprite
<--- has a very black sense of humour
6:25 am
rubyfoo
is there a better kind?
6:25 am
sprite
depends. Not for surviving life, I think.
6:26 am
Nancy Boy
whoops, that's me off. have fun and thanks for the tips, everyone!
6:27 am
sprite
best of luck, Nancy Boy, and take care *hugs*
6:27 am
rubyfoo
bye NB, take it easy on that ankle!
6:27 am
rubyfoo
sandy, what do we do with our free afternoon?
6:27 am
Kaplan the Magne
What is "a nominal egg? " Anyone know?
6:28 am
Kaplan the Magne
I kept thinking about it as I was going to sleep.
6:28 am
sprite
it is a saying. It will cost you a nominal egg.
6:28 am
sandyloo
after going to bed at 4am , I am going to bed early
6:28 am
Kaplan the Magne
You got it!
6:29 am
Haz1558
An arm and a leg.
6:29 am
sandyloo
Sprite, you are amazing! I didn't know that
6:29 am
Kaplan the Magne
I thought I'd at least get to do the punchline.
6:29 am
Kaplan the Magne
Yo're all too qick.
6:29 am
sandyloo
Ruby, did you enjoy the 'french' on the chog?
6:29 am
sprite
that is really coincidence, I came across it yesterday while hunting for icon themes! Some page about eggs.
6:29 am
Kaplan the Magne
Quick. Can't catch you off gard, can I?
6:30 am
sprite
oh yes, lots and lots more things we do NOT know :)
6:30 am
Kaplan the Magne
You came across A Nominal Egg?
6:30 am
sprite
let me see if I can find that page again
6:31 am
Kaplan the Magne
I thougjt it was MY joke.
6:31 am
rubyfoo
I thought the French was very funny. However, I am dealing with "local" idiomatic French, very different from what I learned in high school!
6:31 am
sandyloo
I hate to ask, but what the @#$! is that en6- a clue maybe....please all you brilliant people
6:32 am
rubyfoo
they drop the "ne" when speaking in the negative!

en6 - en plus the ending to Buzz Al who visited the moon.
6:32 am
rubyfoo
en?? who is that brilliant?
6:33 am
Haz1558
Or to the final (three) add the first letters of what you do to get the shampoo out of your hair.
6:33 am
sprite
thanks Haz
6:34 am
Haz1558
You're welcome.
6:34 am
rubyfoo
still don't have it, too obscure for this sleepy gal!
6:35 am
sprite
rubyfoo, we have a dutch variety of that joke... from 'enough is enough' we pretend it is french... an oeuf is an oeuf, hence translated to dutch as " Een ei is een ei" --> an egg is an egg.
6:36 am
rubyfoo
it is getting so hot again!!!!
6:36 am
Kaplan the Magne
Didn't Buzz Lightyear visit the moon?
6:36 am
Haz1558
Yes, but Buzz Al**** forged the way.
6:36 am
rubyfoo
too funny, sprite, I knew about an oeuf..... hahahah
6:36 am
sandyloo
got it thanks haz
6:37 am
rubyfoo
got, ty, haz!!!!
6:37 am

You're welcome, sandy and ruby.
6:37 am

er4 says hi to FM again
6:37 am
sandyloo
I feel so needy...
6:37 am
rubyfoo
I am not at my best (whatever that is) when it gets to be over 30C (over 90F)
6:38 am
Haz1558
Have to make a phone call - back later!
6:38 am
rubyfoo
I hope that er4/4 stays away from here it's too hot!!!!
6:39 am
sprite
make it all going even more supple though
6:39 am
sandyloo
Ruby, I hate the heat! Can't function in the heat and we have plenty of it here
6:39 am
sprite
bye for now, Haz
6:39 am
rubyfoo
but not this season, n'est-ce pAS?
6:40 am
sandyloo
not at the moment though
6:40 am
sprite
am not good with heat either. Am getting nothing done, just therapy and kid is about enough to drain my energy. But it helps to decide things can wait until cooler.
6:41 am
rubyfoo
I do a minimum.
6:41 am
rubyfoo
the garden needs work but there is no way I'm going out in the sun!
6:43 am
sprite
Terra is hilarious. He provokes us to play, the wilder the better, and then all of a sudden he sits down, looks at us reproachfully for making him so hot, and slides flat down with a big sigh.
6:44 am
rubyfoo
that is so cute!
6:45 am
sprite
he gets an icecube after each walk, so he can cool down. He loves it, paws it around and chases it... then flops down and licks it up.
6:45 am
rubyfoo
I can't get Ruby interested in ice; she doesn't get it. I don't think chows are the smartest.... maybe the nicest.....
6:46 am
sprite
it took Terra some time to realise too. We held it in our hand for him, and also we made it glide over the tiles in the kitchen to chase.
6:47 am
rubyfoo
I'll try that. For now, she has a spot in the dirt, under a shrub, and seems to like that the best
6:49 am
rubyfoo
for nbt, top A, pls
6:49 am
sprite
to require, to get
6:50 am

I don't know I just received a FB message from her. Maybe she felt it was time to say sorry. She had a pretty crappy home life and I always felt sorry for her that victimising me was her way of asking for help
7:42 am
Mom
sometimes that takes a lot of courage for someone to apologize

8:06 am
Nancy Boy
Chav! I heard chav. Has anyone seen that video of that chav kicking someone's wall in? You don't get stronger karma than that.

Hi NB - how are you today. Good luck with the job python

8:10 am
Kazzer99
thats lovely EVA - should be some good colours about for photos etc. i love the autumn - my favourite season
8:11 am
herinfernallady
NBthat is on that site
8:11 am
EvaNadine
sleepy. and with sore feet. should worn flats to the reception last night -- no seating!
8:11 am
herinfernallady
Eva that is the eve of my birthday :D
8:12 am
EvaNadine
thats what im hoping kazz!
the ceremony is planned to be outdoors, and the place is very secluded, surrounded by trees that will have foliage turning colors. :)
8:13 am
Nancy Boy
Ouch, Eva! I don't know how you ladies can manage high heels, especially the reeeally thin heels. Surely it's just not good sense to take your entire body weight and balance it on a toothpick, right?
8:13 am
herinfernallady
Eva your wedding is sounding so pretty.
8:14 am
herinfernallady
NB I don't wear heels but when I have I can run well in them
8:15 am
EvaNadine
NB -- i can get away with heels becaus ei sit at a desk all day. anytime i KNOW i will be on my feet, i wear flats or very low heels. i made a point to wear flats to work yesterday + throw my heels on for the reception -- but my feet were hurting before i even got there! and i couldnt exactly kick my shoes off in the Senate, could i?
wearing flip flops + flats today, i am.
8:15 am
Nancy Boy
if I could, I'd run around in bare feet ;)
8:15 am
EvaNadine
thanks, herin. i have a vision for things, so im just hoping it all comes together the way im picturing it. :)
8:16 am
EvaNadine
heh, im usually barefoot under my desk. ;)
8:16 am
Kazzer99
i'd love to be able to wear high heels but fatness and age are against me
8:16 am
Kazzer99
i could go barfoot - I'd kill everyone with the smell
8:17 am
EvaNadine
i was absolutely hobbling by the end of the night. i made them catch a cab back to the car instead of the metro because i wasnt sure i could walk that far...lol
8:17 am
herinfernallady
NB I used to dance bare foot in clubs gave the manager kiniptions
8:17 am
EvaNadine
i thoroughly plan to be dancing barefoot at my wedding! ;)
8:18 am
herinfernallady
awwww
8:18 am
EvaNadine
i plan on wearing heels for the ceremony + photos, then i will be sporting either flats or bare feet for most of the rest of the night, im sure. :)
8:19 am
Nancy Boy
I think I spent the entire Reading Festival barefoot. After two hours there you can't find anything - your shoes, your tent, the bands. NOTHING.
8:21 am
herinfernallady
NB or yourself :D
8:21 am
EvaNadine
oh man, i almost forgot that i need to tell my coworker that he cant bring a date to our wedding. guy RSVPed for 2 people, even though the invitation was addressed only to him.
do people really not know these things?
8:22 am
Nancy Boy
Oh, I found "myself" alright ;) I think I spent about forty-five minutes just waving my fingers in front of my face. Good times!
8:22 am
Nancy Boy
that's pretty rude of him, Eva! awkward situation to put you in..
8:23 am
redturtlehead
Hi all, Eva, I do think people really do not know these things, because often invites are for you and a guest, he most likely did misunderstand.
8:23 am
herinfernallady
snort NB
8:23 am
EvaNadine
whats strange, is that im pretty sure the guest he wants to bring is his ex-GF. they technically broke up, but youd never know it, as they still do everything together.
but either way, unfortunately, we cant accommodate her.
8:23 am
herinfernallady
Beats staring at the tap wondering why there are men dancing out of it
8:24 am
herinfernallady
Eva. How well do you know said Coworker?
8:24 am
EvaNadine
i would never assume i am allowed to bring a guest if an invitation is addressed solely to me.
i *may* ask if im not sure, but i would never just assume.
8:24 am
EvaNadine
herin, hes a nice guy. a little clueless sometimes (hence the misunderstanding, im sure).
8:25 am
redturtlehead
remember though he is a man, and things like invitations are not really their forte. their GF probably would get it right away.
8:25 am
Nancy Boy
Beats standing in the same spot for half an hour, waiting for the "hedgehog" in front of me to pass me by. The "hedgehog" was, in fact, a pine cone. ;)
8:26 am
herinfernallady
lol NB
8:26 am
EvaNadine
well, i assume the ex knows he RSVPed to inclue her, and she is an event planner -- so she of all people should know better...heh
8:27 am
redturtlehead
He probably did not show her the invite...
8:27 am
herinfernallady
Eva if it was me it would depend on the relationship. If it was for Bob plus random girlfriend of the month then it would be just for Bob but if it was for Bob and long term g.f then I would do both
8:27 am
Nancy Boy
lol! you'd think. oooh, it's getting so close now!
8:28 am
EvaNadine
this is basically coworker plus EXgirlfriend. i like him, and ive met her and shes ok, but even when i thought they were still together, i wasnt putting her on the guest list, as we simply dont have the space or the money. i already have a list of people that i plan to invite, if we get enough "no" responses.
8:29 am
herinfernallady
Eva see to me it would depend on length of relationship. My friends wife was horrified that the invites said to B and no G.f considering I am like B's wife
8:33 am
EvaNadine
well, they were together for a long time.
but i have only met/interacted with her a very few times.
and they arent even together!!
i invited our whole group of coworkers, and only the married ones have their SO's invited. we simply dont have the space. right now, if everyone we actually invited says yes, we are technically over capacity. we literally dont have the room for people we didnt invite. and frankly, im not too interested in having people at my wedding who i barely know, when im already unable to invite people i actually WANT there...
8:34 am
herinfernallady
That is the way I see it too.
8:35 am
EvaNadine
ideally, id love to be able to invite her, since clearly he wants her there, but frankly, we just cant.
im sure he will understand when i tell him about the misunderstanding, it just stinks that i have to say anything at all.
oh well -- if this is the worst thing i have to deal with, i count myself lucky. :)
8:36 am
Kazzer99
you must be strong and tell him that he cant bring her. its quite rude to assume that you can bring someone - we were numbered restricted both by the registry office and the room for the reception but i did invite some people after the buffet so they could have a drink and slice of cake - our wedding was nice and cheap - but looked lovely
8:38 am
Kazzer99
fireworks for me - yippee can go back to trying to do some housework - have bruised ribs as well as bad leg

You're still breathing oxygen, even if you have gills.

Touche, Judi. =P
8:43 am
Nancy Boy
I bet there's a lot of plants who were really hurt by what Judi said though ;)
8:43 am
Kazzer99
leg is usual run of the mill stuff - get cellulitis about2 or 3 times a year - own fault for not looking after legs - skin too dry and too fat - also been nursing it for 3 weeks or so.
8:43 am
herinfernallady
KAZZ tsk tsk look after yourself
8:44 am

8:50 am
EvaNadine
still so much left to do. making lists left and right!
8:51 am

I hear that. Speaking of which, I should probably go to work ;)

10:46 am
Riverdance
4 letter word worth 5 points
10:46 am
EvaNadine
kris: that is a clue. the word begins with AD, is 4 letters long, and worth 5 points.
10:46 am
Pinikula

10:46 am

10:47 am
Riverdance

10:47 am
FMitch
HAVe a read of the help section Kris as the point increase and the number of letters increase.
10:47 am
FMitch
i.e a 5 letter word the points double etc
10:48 am
EvaNadine
for 4-letter words, just add up the numbers on the tiles.
for 5-letter words, add up the numbers on the tiles and multiply by 2.
for 6-letter words, add up the numbers on the tiles and multiply by 3...
and so on...

okay, I am writing a paper about using student self-assessments as a tool to help them engage with their own learning as well as to help the teacher understand students strengths and needs.
2:55 pm
stidmama
:-D yep. my menfolk aren't too hard on the eyes... LOL
2:56 pm
Nancy Boy
LOL. We have that in common.
As for the paper, have you done a really thorough plan to make sure you know what you wanna say?
2:56 pm
stidmama
Anyway, I am getting bogged down trying to pull all the studies I have read together, narrowing it down without being too narrow, and somehow including the connection between literacy skills (reading, writing, thinking) and assessment practices.
2:57 pm
stidmama
That's the problem. I thought I had one, but as I am going over it this morning (paper is due tomorrow) I am not seeing it pull together the way papers usually do at this point in the process.
2:59 pm
Nancy Boy
Urgh, well it may be deadline anxiety, if you're susceptible to that - otherwise, the only thing I can recommend is giving your mind a break before going back to your plan and looking for links between your points...helped me through many a history essay. Alexander II eat your heart out.
3:00 pm
stidmama
LOL (((Nancy Boy))) thanks. I think it is in fact partly deadline anxiety. Good call! *smile* I'll breathe deeply, get a few words now and then go back to work.

stidmama, I'm sure you won't want to be bothered with it now, but some time when you have nothing better to do (ha!) I thought you might be interested in my new blog I just started. It's on block printing and juvenile fantasy.
3:05 pm

whoops, back in a sec...
3:06 pm

YES! please! I am putting it in my automatic reader so I will get all your posts automatically!!!

okay back.
3:08 pm

down to 40 words. I think I will take an eyeball break and then revisit the paper. Again. *sigh* (((Hugs for Vi and NB)))

Good luck with the paper! It'll all come clear eventually.

*repoof*
3:10 pm
Vicuna
Well, NB, looks like it's just you and me. Are you going to be dancing on tables again? Because if so I'll lay down mats or something.
3:12 pm
Nancy Boy
LOL, Vi! No dancing on tables for me for a while - it doesn't quite look as good on a busted ankle ;) The only dance you can really do with one sprained ankle is the chicken dance...and that ain't my style ;)
3:13 pm
Vicuna
lol. Well, maybe it takes a busted ankle to keep you from ending with a busted neck. But no one deserves to be limited to the chicken dance.
3:14 pm
Nancy Boy
'tis a fate worse than death to be limited to dances named after birds. As long as the ankle heals up before my trip though, I'm not going to jinx it by complaining!
3:15 pm
Vicuna
Trip? Whither?
And maybe you can work on the Dying Swan Dance from the ballet Swan Lake. Just for variety.
3:17 pm
Nancy Boy
Oh, to South Korea - figured it might be time to tell my family that I'm actually alive! As for the dying swan...I'm not sure if I quite have the grace for that one. I'll leave it to you ;) how are you, anyway? haven't seen you around here in ages!
3:20 pm
Vicuna
Ooh, big trip. I hope it's a good one. How immanent?
I'm fine, thanks. I'm always fine, which means I have nothing to contribute to the chog! ;) I've just been lurking more lately.
3:22 pm
Nancy Boy
Scarily imminent - only 30 days away! It was a birthday present from my friends; I was sooo touched! Good to hear you're alright - I'm sure being fine and contributing nothing to the chog is better than whining away, as is my style ;)
3:23 pm
wildcat17
you're going to have a great time nance
3:25 pm
Vicuna
Hello, wildcat.
Wow, what an amazing birthday gift! But 30 days is still plenty of time. Plenty of time to prepare, and plenty of time to stress out.
3:25 pm
Nancy Boy
Oh, hi Wild! Well, either my family will or won't accept me - honestly, my expectations aren't that high, but I'm related to them and they deserve to know I'm alive ;)
3:26 pm
wildcat17
maybe they'll just be so happy to see you that the rest of it won't matter
3:26 pm

They may not be monolithic, NB. Maybe some will not be accepting, but others will. And you're right, they all deserve to get the chance.

jealous here, it's rained since 11pm last night
3:58 pm
jacq
and it's cold enough to put the heating on, the lights have been on since 6 and it's just miserable
3:58 pm
jacq
nice summertime
3:58 pm
jillibus
We had a very chilly June and early July -- it's just warmed up recently.
3:59 pm
jillibus
you have my sympathy, jacq!
3:59 pm
jacq
it's been a terrible year for weather, so wet and cool and it makes the winters feel so much longer when there is little sun in the summer
3:59 pm
jillibus
that sounds all too familiar, jacq
4:00 pm
KatieMcG
it's warm down here with very little rain jacq
4:00 pm
jillibus
Where in Scotland are you, jacq?
4:00 pm
jacq
we went to have a look at the spey today after all the rain and it's gone from a placid mirror to a torrent with trees heading to the sea
4:01 pm
jacq
north east scotland, buckie to be precise
4:01 pm
jillibus
Thanks -- your profile just says you're "from Scotland in Scotland", lol!
4:03 pm
jacq
the history of this area kinda makes it moray in moray, in the early days of scotland and the clan system the wild men of moray wouldn;t allow themselves to be ruled by any king and lord knows scotland had enough of them in those days
4:03 pm
jacq
oops scotland in scotland i meant
4:04 pm

i am glasgow originally, moved to buckie when i was about 6
4:07 pm
jillibus
but we don't know of any real connection.
4:07 pm
jacq
took me a long time to forgive my parents for that lol
4:08 pm
jacq
there will be a connection, you can find a record of births etc in perthshire online, if i find it again i will send you the link
4:08 pm
jillibus
Buckie looks as if it would be lovely on my Bartholomew's Road Atlas, vintage 1968.
4:09 pm
jacq
buckie has an interesting history, not as old as atholl, dating back to 16th century and based on fishing of course
4:09 pm
jacq
but around here there have been findings dating back to iron age

4:40 pm
ch1212
But compared to the rest of the US, we are blessed here in the NW!
4:40 pm
stidmama
good for you! we're doing the same. I am working on a paper this afternoon. It started to come together, so I am taking a few minutes to babble a bit.
4:40 pm
stidmama
yes, I am SO grateful to be in a cool, rather than an over-hot place!
4:40 pm
ch1212
When do you graduate?
4:40 pm
stidmama
but I do worry about the people who are in the hot areas.
4:40 pm
stidmama
IF I make it through, I will be done next June. If I don't, I get a break sooner!

You know you have all your Babble family rooting for you, so no worries :)

4:44 pm
jacq
mama, i already said that you should have more faith in yourself
4:46 pm
ch1212
hi jacq! I was reading your earlier discussion. I'm half Scots, half Irish. Have the Irish part traced back to 1610, but the Scots side still working on. We're Campbell, MacFarland, and McKim.
4:47 pm
jacq
i have no idea about my roots ch, my mums family are from ireland, my dads family are a mixture of travellers and housedwellers
4:47 pm
ch1212
Most emigrated to Canada, but I think some still live in Scotland. It's fun to research.
4:47 pm
TeaNCrackers
hi everyone
4:47 pm
ch1212
Hi Tea! Jacq, I really like that expression: 'travellers and housedwellers' -- yes!
4:47 pm
stidmama
hey tea! sorry all, they're falling a tree next door, and it came down rather suddenly so I had to go investigate
4:48 pm
stidmama
I know travellers, what does housedweller mean, jac?
4:48 pm
ch1212
ahh... no one hurt, I hope?
4:49 pm
stidmama
no, but from the overheard conversation, "we'll just tell them we thought it should come down" I think this one was not part of the plan...
4:49 pm
stidmama
still, nothing damaged, no one harmed. trees, like hair, grow back.
4:49 pm
jacq
people who live in houses, can't remember the travellers names for them
4:50 pm
TeaNCrackers
whoops
4:50 pm
ch1212
Mom's side of the family continued the traveller tradition, and many became carnies here in the US.
4:50 pm
stidmama
okay jac. LOL as opposed to people who live in caravans and tents, like travellers. *facepalm* sometimes it really IS an obvious answer!
4:51 pm
ch1212
{ giggling, realizing I read it the same way, stid! }
4:51 pm
jacq
i have family who are carnies, some who just travel and others who settled down, but i know nothing about them as my dad was ostracised by them
4:52 pm
jacq
but my mum is starting to trace her roots through gorbals reunited
4:52 pm
ch1212
Well, jacq, we're probably all related here on Babble. Someone posited that before, and I am certain it's true. If not biologically, then in spirit!
4:53 pm
jacq
there is a theory that we are only 6 people away from knowing everyone in the world
4:53 pm
stidmama
well, down to 30 words. still listless. And the headache medicine is starting to work. Will go play with that paper some more. *sigh* though I would rather hear about interesting genealogical puzzles...
5:00 pm
ch1212
Done! Before I head to the post office, any clues needed?

Hi, Natasha!

I never heard the details of your son's procedure--I was on vacation.
6:32 pm

Jellen - just saw you on FB - I am so confused now on who is who = need to keep a list
6:32 pm

Hi natasha
6:32 pm

Hello Natasha
6:32 pm
Scrabbler
Yes, RD, it is very challenging to remember Babbler's actual names.
6:33 pm
stidgmere
Hi everyone. I needed to wash the salt off my hands from eating nuts. Now, to focus and find words. Do we have actual names?
6:33 pm

Hi Stidgmere

Hi, stidgmere

Hi scrabbler. We have a bunny in the next yard, sitting in the shade and looking like a small bush.
6:34 pm
Riverdance
I put some in my profile - 10hours of EP study at Dartmouth then 10 days later - continued procedure in Boston at Childrens - radio frequency and kryo to the accessory pathway found in a diverticulum near the coronary arteries - Success - for now anyway - EKG normal for first time - repeat next week
6:34 pm
JBV
hi folks - i'm here and also working on my Italian "homework" - so in and out - how's everyone?
6:34 pm
Scrabbler
A wild bunny?
6:34 pm
stidgmere
Hi Jellen and Natasha. We have some sunshine today and all is quiet. Yes, a wild bunny. We don't have a dog any more so the wild life comes by.
6:34 pm
Jellen
Hi, JBV...I'm okay...
6:34 pm
JBV
that sounds like progress, River - sending you good wishes
6:34 pm

Hello Stidgmere

Wow, RD, a long process for your son + family. How is he feeling?
6:35 pm
Scrabbler
Buona sera, JBV.
6:35 pm
stidgmere
Stidmama was telling me about your son. We are both cheering you on.
6:35 pm
Riverdance
he feels great and ready to get on with his life - we need to make sure it is OK - if EKG is negative WPW next week, he will be able to resume his normal activities - fingers crossed
6:36 pm
JBV
scrabs! I thought you might be interested in my new adventure - see my profile for the background story if you don't know, then I'll tell you the latest
6:36 pm
Riverdance
thank you stidgmere
6:36 pm
Scrabbler
The real blessing is that contemporary medicine can diagnose + repair these dysrhythmia problems.
6:38 pm
Riverdance
Dartmouth had never seen this before but Boston had - Boston is very optimistic they fixed it and if not, they know exactly where to go. Too close to the coronary arteries so had to use kryo - never an absolute like the radio is.
6:38 pm
Riverdance
and yes it is amazing what they can do these days
6:39 pm
Riverdance
We had the Chief Electrophysiologist and his partner do the procedure - also teaches at Harvard Medical Center - how lucky can we be!
6:40 pm
Scrabbler
Stupendo, JBV! I want to join you! I have studied Italian off + on x 30 yrs, first to speak with my mother's parents (never learned English despite arriving from Italy in 1912) and more recently to be ready for a trip. I have relatives in Sicily too--4 of my GF's sibs stayed there. Gualtieri Sicamina.
6:40 pm
Scrabbler
Your son received the best of care available!
6:40 pm
Riverdance
wouldnt that be a riot if you gals can go together
6:41 pm
Jellen
That is wonderful River, that he was able to get such care!
6:41 pm
Scrabbler
Someday I want to go with cousins + my 2 sisters.
6:41 pm
JBV
are you planning a trip? I have no immediate plans but I have a burning desire to see them again
6:42 pm
Scrabbler
"Someday"--which should be sooner rather than later. I need to save money. A to4 group would be easiest but we would want to wander away to visit the villages where our grandparents grew up.
6:43 pm
Scrabbler
And the Sicilian dialect is quite different. Actually there are, I believe I have read, over 140 dialects across Italy.
6:43 pm
JBV
Scrabs, my brother& family rented a villa, a car, and did everything on their own, except when they went to the town, they hired a translator for the day, since he doesn't speak a word of Italian!
6:44 pm
JBV
i mean my brother doesn't speak italian :)
6:44 pm
Scrabbler
Great idea, JBV! Hiring a translator!
6:44 pm
JBV
they would not have been able to do it without him
6:44 pm
Scrabbler
It is horrible to laugh but one of the contestants on Jeopardy now speaks like Elmer Fudd.
6:45 pm
JBV
I just saw that here, Scrabs (on at 7:00) - poor girl!
6:45 pm
Jellen
Goodness gwacious!
6:45 pm
Scrabbler
I wonder if she has a hearing impairment.
6:46 pm
JBV
Scrabs, I know you like outdoor sports - do you ski?
6:46 pm
Scrabbler
XC skiing
6:46 pm
JBV
one of my cousins lives near Torino at the foot of the Alps - I'm dreaming of a trip there, have never been
6:47 pm

hi all how's everyone?
6:47 pm
JBV
we started with emails, have now graduated to Skype! - this is so amazing, we are catching up on 40 years of family stories
6:47 pm
Scrabbler
That is REAL skiing. One of my cousin's lived in Zurich for 3 yrs around '90 and says all other ski resorts pale in comparison.

Scrabbler
Bunnies = cuteness!
7:11 pm
Scrabbler
Hi Stid
7:11 pm
Scrabbler
Trif, use your cell phone camera
7:11 pm
Nancy Boy
bunnies? bunnies!
7:11 pm
stidmama
is the AD 5 fishy?
7:11 pm
Trifioso
bunnies = cocoa pops
7:11 pm
stidmama
hello again Nancy Boy! ((hugs))
7:11 pm
Scrabbler
un5 = beneath
7:11 pm
Trifioso
NANCY!!!! hugs!
7:12 pm
Scrabbler
Yep, Trif--that is my life, picking up Cocoa Puffs that have not stayed in the litter boxes.
7:12 pm
Trifioso
lol re the cocoa puffs. And thanks for the un, which I actually had. Do you have the other one?
7:12 pm
Nancy Boy
hi, all :) Stid, how is that paper now?
7:13 pm
Trifioso
never mind. un4
7:13 pm
stidmama
all but a conclusion, Nancy Boy -- and a reworking of the intro (which is always needed after the conclusion, for some reason...)
7:13 pm
stidmama
but needed a brain break.
7:13 pm
stidmama
how's the ankle? *stern mama look*
7:14 pm
Jellen
Good intros usually come last, in my experience...
7:14 pm
Scrabbler
Stid, you will understand: I have had a migraine for 2 days and I am annoyed about it
7:14 pm
Trifioso
I don't get why "tonk" isn't an okay word. As in "honky tonk?"
7:14 pm
Scrabbler
I like to do lots of editing over a few days to get a final paper.
7:14 pm
stidmama
oh dear, scrabs *gentle hugs, cool washcloth, feverfew tea*
7:15 pm
Nancy Boy
Oh good, Stid! Must be a relief to have it out of the way...:) the ankle is currently purple, navy and green. I dislike the combo.
7:15 pm
stidmama
I usually do, scrabs, and today was supposed to be my last look-through. but this morning I hated what I had and started over (not usually my practice)
7:15 pm
Jellen
I miss writing, sometimes...
7:15 pm
stidmama
oh oh... *looks at scrabs for advice* I suggested ice, anti-inflammatories and elevation earlier...
7:16 pm
Jellen
<---used to do technical writing on contract...
7:16 pm
stidmama
oh! got hte AD 5!
7:16 pm
Scrabbler
When did you injure your ankle, NB?
7:16 pm
stidmama
gee whiz, jellen! that must have been interesting as all-get-out!
7:16 pm
aknitter
care to share the AD word?
7:16 pm
Nancy Boy
that sounds awful, Scrabbs. Only when a migraine strikes do you realise that the brain is the true centre of the body - completely incapacitating...
7:16 pm
Nancy Boy
oh, on my birthday, Scrabbs - the 11th :)
7:17 pm
Jellen
It was challenging...my employer was a grant-writer...I did literature reviews, for the most part...
7:17 pm
stidmama
*worried mama look*
7:17 pm
Jellen
Please do, stid!
7:18 pm
Jellen
Hi, welki!
7:18 pm
stidmama
I need more practice doing surveys of the lit, I am not comfortable with my ability to adequately summarize research. *sigh* but right now I don't have time or energy to practice more.
7:18 pm
welki
how can you be nu5? either you are or you're not :)
7:18 pm
stidmama
ad + first letter in english anno + Thanks Alot (sorry for grammar)
7:19 pm
stidmama
hey welki!
7:19 pm
Scrabbler
NB, use a canvas brace, for months, to keep your ankle stable and prevent reinjury. Apply heat 3 times daily. Elevate whenever possible. Do exercises: stand up and go up + down on toes; pretend your are holding pen between first 2 toes, writing the alphabet.
7:19 pm
stidmama
well, first I took off the top, welki, and then.... I was nu5!
7:19 pm
Scrabbler
Hi welki
7:19 pm
welki
i took off the top and people ran screaming!
7:20 pm
Nancy Boy
Thanks, Scrabbs! Will do :) I have it elevated right now, but didn't know to use heat - have been icing it :/
7:20 pm
Nancy Boy
LOL, Welki!
7:20 pm
Jellen
Hmmm...not getting the ad5 clue...
7:20 pm

7:21 pm
stidmama
I am now struggling with di 7
7:21 pm
Scrabbler
Use ice for first several days, to relieve inflammation. Then switch to heat
7:21 pm
Trifioso
thanks. It was really nice to see so many familiar faces here. LOVE to all!
7:22 pm
Scrabbler
Sleep well, Trif!
7:22 pm
Jellen
ad + sometimes vowel + Brit short for thanks
7:22 pm
Scrabbler
I am struggling with that ad word and English anno <----
7:22 pm
stidmama
anno is latin for this calendrical measure *ear
7:23 pm
72 Temple Owl
di7?
7:23 pm
Nancy Boy
I'm wondering why the nurses who saw my ankle didn't mention any of this to me. Then again, it could have gotten lost in my birthday "haze" - had such a bad hangover the next morning, sunglasses were required to open the fridge ;)
7:24 pm
stidmama
hm. in many places in the U.S. they give you written instructions when you leave, Nancy Boy -- maybe in the future you can ask for that?
7:24 pm
stidmama
NOT that I am advocating you have medical emergencies...
7:24 pm
Scrabbler
OK, Stid, I am too brain dead right now
7:24 pm
stidgmere
Well, with all this great onversation. I want to go start dinner. Enjoy the evening and take care of yourselves--Nancy Boy, that caution is for you!
7:25 pm
stidmama
sweet dreams Mother, will see you tomorrow when I pick up the stidkid!
7:25 pm
Nancy Boy
LOL to both Stids ;) and thanks!
7:26 pm
Jellen
It's amazing what health care professionals don't tell you...(still grousing over doctor not giving MRI results)
7:26 pm
Jellen
Bye, stidgmere
7:26 pm
stidmama
gee whiz, jellen! that's not good...
7:27 pm
Jellen
He whisks in and out of appointments so fast questions just leave my mind...
7:27 pm
stidmama
down to 14, and still need two big Di words. (the 7 and the 8) assume the 8 is compounD?
7:27 pm
Scrabbler
For you, NB: http://www.anklebrace.info/swedeo/inne
rlok.htm--this is the type of brace you need to wear for at least several months
7:28 pm
Nancy Boy
ah, I think this nancy boy needs to get to bed. night, all, and thanks for the good advice! :)
7:28 pm
Jellen
Will come prepared with written list of questions next time...but truthfully, nurses are more informative...
7:28 pm
stidmama
do you have a list of questions written down when you go in jellen? I used to do that when the stidkid was very little and we had some kind of specialist at least once a week.
7:28 pm
Nancy Boy
(thanks, Scrabbs!!)
7:28 pm
stidmama
sweet dreams Nancy Boy. *stern mama look* take care of yourself.
7:28 pm
aknitter
nurses are number 1 LOL
7:28 pm
Scrabbler
Jellen, the behavior + lack of interpersonal + communication skills by so many of my colleagues is just so embarrassing + anger-inducing!
7:28 pm
stidmama
true that, knitter!
7:29 pm
aknitter
present MD company excluded of course
7:29 pm
stidmama
TEN to go!
7:29 pm
Scrabbler
Nurses are great! You do everything, and a lot of tough work!
7:29 pm
Jellen
I sometimes wonder if we should try to switch doctors...is that kosher?
7:30 pm
stidmama
and then there are the very many wonderful MDs who do their work patiently, professionally and perfectly... *pointed look at cousin*
7:30 pm
stidmama
YES. second opinions and different docs are completely acceptable if the doc you have isn't working for you.
7:30 pm
Scrabbler
It is tough to find the full package of smartiness + people skills + down-to-earthiness
7:30 pm
aknitter
jell it is ok to switch MD's however often if you just tell them to ...hey! slow down ... they will often thimes they are unawware
7:31 pm
Jellen
Within the same practice?
7:31 pm
Scrabbler
TY, Stid--I try very hard to be the kind of doctor that I would want to see.
7:31 pm
Scrabbler
Does Tim see a nurse practitioner?
7:31 pm
aknitter
we have patients do that. you can't like everyone and personalities just don't always click. the docs really don't mind they just want you to get good care (at least inour place)
7:31 pm
Jellen
I have a great GP, btw...of course, I've known him most of my life...
7:31 pm
stidmama
I would have LOVED to have had a ped like you scrabs... we fired two docs before we found the one we have now.
7:32 pm
Jellen
He sometimes sees a NP, yes...
7:32 pm
Jellen
I like him...
7:32 pm
stidmama
down to 7. have to get going. back later to finish (((Hugs all))) Jellen, my love to you and Tim. Scrabs, extra rations for the bunnies tonight! LOL *poof*
7:32 pm
Scrabbler
Ask the NP what is best to do.
7:32 pm
Jellen
Later, stid!
7:32 pm
Scrabbler
Bye Stid

Scrabbler
And at 45/80 I need to go to bed. I want to wake up at 0600 WITHOUT a migraine.

9:10 pm
welki
that's funny .. we had chicken pie for supper this evening
9:10 pm
Jacula
If you don't want to make the herby pastry, you can use either shortcrust or puff pastry of the frozen kind.
9:11 pm
Jacula
But the parsley pastry isn't hard to make and can be frozen.
9:12 pm
Jacula
Welki - that same timing thing happened yestersay re a cream cheese and cucumber sandwich. LOL

I've had to sign in again, having read the chat to say, remember that spark of electricity that bounced between the two of you when you first ouched or kissed? If you do, and if it's still there, then keep on keeping on, despite what everyday life throws at you. There is always a 5 minute window to reconnect or more, if the kids go away.xxx

Last time Beloved offered to massage me was with a massage head off some American vaccum cleaner his parent had bought 20 years ago for over £1,000. His Mum finds the cleaner to heavy to drag around now, as do I. Beloved tells me it is very good at shampooing carpets, so I'll leaave him to find that out. Ohm, yea, the massage, might be comforting if you are deaf. If not, you will be by the time it's over with the sound of jet engines in your ears. Not relaxing!
9:52 pm

Hi folks, help needed for last one - then fireworks!It's a to5/10, the last one. I keep trying the yummy cake, but it's not allowed, even though angel's clues have it.
10:59 pm
dcseain
add vowel to to4 above it, dofuth
10:59 pm
dcseain
german pastry, that to5
10:59 pm
dcseain
well, French in that spelling
10:59 pm
jesdraggon
to5/12 is a round object, sounds like a ford car
11:02 pm
dofith

11:02 pm
dcseain

11:02 pm
dofith
Anyone need any clues?
11:03 pm
dofith
Here we use an "a" at the end.
11:03 pm
dcseain
i learned the German word from my Czech/Hungarian ancestors, who came from Austria-Hungary, so probably, jilli
11:03 pm
jesdraggon
still got 34 left, so a bit early to start asking ;)
11:03 pm
dcseain
here, -a is a spanish or italian, -e is french, -en is german usually.
11:08 pm
jillibus
I'm sure you're right, dc ;)
11:08 pm
dcseain
hint for the di8, pls?
11:09 pm
shorty
di7/32 please?
11:09 pm
jillibus
di8 "A sweet di8 in the dress/Kindles in clothes a wantonness..." (Robert Herrick)
11:10 pm
shorty
di8 when something is messy it is in di8
11:10 pm
jillibus
dc, I just checked my German/English dictionary and the -e ending is there.
11:10 pm
shorty
di7/32 please?
11:11 pm
dcseain
ty, shorty, i missed that third letter as between its neighbours.
11:11 pm
dcseain
cool, good to know, jilli :)
11:11 pm
jillibus
di7 -- di + vowel + title of sort of robotic movie
11:11 pm
dofith
Well, that explains it - our earliest and biggest group of migrants in the post-war years were Italian, so I guess that's why we use the "a" - I'm sure Aussie cuisine (if you can call it that! meat and 3 veg, all cooked to a pulp, as I remember!) didn't have anything so delicious before the migants came. Now, thankfully, we eat every nation's food.
11:11 pm
sandyloo
i need that too please di7
11:12 pm
dcseain
di7 ends with computer/robotic movie
11:12 pm
