12:18 am

gremlinn

In 5th grade we had Latin lessons about once every week or two from a guest high school teacher - I don't remember much of the grammar or vocab, but I remember a couple things we had to memorize.

12:18 am

Pinikula

brb - koda break

12:18 am

m9f9l

private school gremm?

12:18 am

12:19 am

gremlinn

no, public

12:19 am

m9f9l

wow

12:20 am

dcseain

i attended public schools, and had had spanish, hawaiian, japanese, and german by the end of grade 5. Only the Spanish fully stuck.

12:21 am

gremlinn

Besides that Latin, I only had choices of French or Spanish from 7th to 12th.

12:21 am

jillibus

your schools were very unusual, dc

12:21 am

m9f9l

I went to public schools too. in middle school we did spanish. I think there may have been little stint in french. But I was so miserable I really don't remember much of anything.

Barb's Horses

Hi all

12:22 am

m9f9l

hi barb

12:23 am

dcseain

hi, barb

12:23 am

jillibus

we had Latin and French from a very early age in our Brit schools. In my NY high school we had both too, back in the early 40s.

12:23 am

jillibus

I think there wa also spanish and german in that HS

12:23 am

gremlinn

They should teach Greek too.

12:24 am

jillibus

I agree(k)

12:24 am

dcseain

only greek i got was in my spanish and astronomy classes

12:24 am

dcseain

i concur that greek should be more widely taught.

12:25 am

gremlinn

Maybe a "comparitive languages" course would be good for a broad overview.

12:25 am

jillibus

my dad slipped a few Greeks words into my consciousness

12:26 am

dcseain

i use comparative grammar when tutoring spanish students.

12:26 am

jillibus

nighty nightelax ruru!

1:15 am

jillibus

but as I said, it quite often appears in books when there's a mistake -- an added slip of paper with a correction. Maybe mostly in scholarly books.

1:15 am

flosey

ah jilli, see we have same ant! I remember having them when we were finishing the house, they came out at night but haven't seen them since

1:16 am

flosey

1:16 am

jillibus

flosey, I mentioned that (sort of) right at flip time -- said "great minds, flosey". guess you had plunged right into the grid and didn't see that.

1:17 am

flosey

evening all

5:31 am

Atalante

does anyone know what the word "aeguiles" means??

5:34 am

hurshy

what makest thou think it IS a word?

5:34 am

hurshy

maybe someone meant to type "beguiles"

5:34 am

Atalante

cos scrabble accepts it :)

5:35 am

hurshy

well, maybe someone mistyped it into the scrabble dictionary!

5:35 am

Atalante

lol maybe! cos I can't find anything!

5:35 am

Atalante

just wondered if anyone else had any better ideas!

5:35 am

hurshy

google turning up NO entries other than a misreading of a scanned book with the name arguiles is a pretty strong statement.

5:36 am

Atalante

yes .... I found the same

5:36 am

sprite

good afternoon all. Another small one... is it sneaky and chewy or smooth and over too fast?

5:36 am

hurshy

but you could always pop over to the library and have a peek in the complete OED

5:36 am

hurshy

it's pretty easy this time sprite

5:36 am

Nancy Boy

Morning all. Just got back from grocery shopping - completely drenched!

5:37 am

Atalante

we're just having another very random words thread on my FB and that came up :)

5:37 am

sprite

thanks hursh. Not much chance to evade homely task then...

5:37 am

sprite

hi Nancy Boy :)

5:37 am

Nancy Boy

Mornin', Sprite. That's some insect, in your picture ;)

5:37 am

sprite

isn't it :)

5:42 am

sprite

conversation seems to stop very suddenly... not meaning to disturb your chat, Ata and hursh?

5:42 am

Atalante

you didn't!!

5:43 am

sprite

pfew am glad. How's the knee, Ata?

5:43 am

Nancy Boy

I was thinking it was me, Sprite :) How are you?

5:44 am

sprite

feeling rather lousy because I hardly sleep nowadays, it is SO hot. But otherwise pretty good.
How's your ankle today?

5:45 am

Atalante

hurting. like normal. LOL!

5:45 am

Nancy Boy

Oh, that's no good, Sprite :( can you rig up some fans? or buy a waterbed and freeze it? ;)

5:45 am

sprite

argh Ata :( I hope it is hurting from healing. Situation at home unchanged?

5:46 am

Atalante

yep, and poor hobbit is very sad cos she's not having long walks this week!

5:46 am

sprite

all fans are sold out in this crazy country. But hey, great idea, about the waterbed! *googles to find a freezer big enough for a bed*

5:47 am

sprite

aw poor Hobbit, sweetie. Things will be better, promise. *playful cuddle*

5:47 am

Nancy Boy

I'll bring you back some from Korea ;) of course, they'll all have timer switches on, 'cause over there people think they can kill you if left on....sigh.

5:48 am

sprite

lol! While I really need them at night mostly.

5:50 am

sprite

so, how about that ankle, Nancy Boy? *stern mama look*

5:50 am

Nancy Boy

I didn't know it got so hot there. England is cooling down, just had an awesome rain shower which has drenched me head to toe!

5:51 am

sprite

I would have loved to be there with you, Nancy Boy. We can use a big shower. But it does seem to cool down a bit today, indeed. I long for a night that is cold enough to have a sheet over me.

5:51 am

Nancy Boy

Are you stealing Stid's stern mama look? ;) the ankle is dreading going to work later but is otherwise fine. Bruises are lighter but it's still the same colour as my icon :P

5:54 am

sprite

I love your icon. Bruises getting all colours is a good sign. Are you still having new black spots coming up from the deep or not?
And yes, stiddie and I have that same look :)

5:56 am

Nancy Boy

I'm trying to get into the spirit for my trip ;) and nope, think it's well on it's way to healing now! Despite my employer's concern, it's actually been pretty good for my job - all my regular punters and now coming in even more regularly to see how I am! :)

5:58 am

sprite

awwww that is kind of sweet. Glad to know you are more than an object to them, Nancy Boy. Another load of healing vibes coming up...

5:58 am

Atalante

the bruising never came out probably in the knee - 5 weeks after the accident my shin and knee was still puffed up with bruising that wouldn't come out and the physio had to poke them a lot to break them up

5:59 am

sprite

oh yes, the knee is such a wondrous place, lol. Tendons and weird bones and muscles... no place for a bruise to walk its normal path. You must have cursed the physio to Pluto and back ;)

6:00 am

Atalante

it hurt LOL. yes, she basically said, if it's not hurting like hell right now, you're not pressing hard enough

6:00 am

sprite

hahaha, the wicked witch

6:00 am

Nancy Boy

oh yes Sprite, they are sweet guys :) I should probably hop (literally) into the shower though, before I freeze to death! So thanks for all the healing vibes, Sprite, and see you later!

6:01 am

Atalante

she's a great physio though, I love her

6:01 am

sprite

bye Nancy Boy, have a good day and take care *hug*

6:01 am

sprite

a physio must be a little wicked or they wouldn't be able to break bad cycles.

6:02 am

Atalante

absolutely

6:03 am

Atalante

aha! there you are, little solo E letter

6:03 am

sprite

a friend of mine has had about everything you can have done to your legs... stance correction, new knees, new hips. And she had a real love/hate relation with her physio. They literally yelled at eachother, lol.

6:04 am

sprite

hm don't have it yet, looking. WTG for you for flushing it out.

6:05 am

sprite

hah got it. Nothing little about it!

6:05 am

Atalante

I#d been trying to get that word all morning and suddenly realised how to see it!

6:06 am

sprite

the corner where it ends is easy to ignore

6:06 am

Atalante

yes!

6:10 am

sprite

I so want to combine tr4 and ha4

6:10 am

Atalante

or tr4 and ha7!

6:11 am

sprite

oh that would be even nicer!

6:11 am

Atalante

sounds so real. a nice raptor bird

6:11 am

sprite

one you'd love to have as a bond bird

6:12 am

Atalante

6:18 am

6:22 am

Anniebrook

Hi Evan

7:43 am

EvaNadine

waffle for breakfast... with strawberries and blueberries + a little maple syrup....
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

7:44 am

Kaplan the Magne

I meant yet instead of left. I have been riffing on the phrase "A nominal egg" for days and found a site called "Eggcorns" that specializes in common mispronouncuations and misueses. Another I like is "Balling my eyes out." And of course, I hope they find an anecdote to that poison.

7:44 am

Kaplan the Magne

Misuses, not misuseses of course!

7:45 am

Anniebrook

I caught that, was thinking of correcting the misuse

7:46 am

Anniebrook

I have 2 left..one r and one w...might save for later

7:46 am

Kaplan the Magne

I live in Boston, where people actually think the correct phrase is A Nominal Egg.

7:47 am

EvaNadine

i know a gal who always types "should of" and "might of" -- kinda drives me batty.
i also had a friend who honestly thought the phrase was "minus well" -- as in "work was canceled, so i 'minus well' sleep in"

7:47 am

Anniebrook

LOL, Eva

7:47 am

Kaplan the Magne

That's the stuff, eva. Also "a last stitch effort."

7:48 am

EvaNadine

"a nominal egg"
i cant figure out what phrase that is supposed to be... ?

7:48 am

Kaplan the Magne

I know a guy who is just out standing in his field.

7:48 am

Anniebrook

I have a friend that says notary republic

7:48 am

Kaplan the Magne

That will cost me a nominal egg- I really can't afford it.

7:49 am

Anniebrook

funny

7:49 am

Anniebrook

be back later

7:49 am

LuvWordGames

hi all, the misuse that drives me crazy and has become so widely misuesd that it seem to be acceptable is "I seen" as in "I seen the tornado hit the trailer park"

i agree, kaplan. even if you know, the difference, i prefer to say midnight or noon, since it is both clearer and easier.

7:55 am

Nancy Boy

LOL Kaplan. I'm thinking I should never speak to any babblers - my influx of london slang would shame me...

7:55 am

jessmom

in the name of the father, the son, and the oily goose

7:56 am

Kaplan the Magne

I love Brit slang, NB

7:56 am

and then there is "basically"

NB!!!!
i have to run to a meeting. be here in 20?

7:57 am

Kaplan the Magne

I would figure babblers would take to this topic as there are so many word nerds. (Word Nords?)

7:57 am

Nancy Boy

I'm down with the slang, but I'm fighting desperately to keep hold of my accent. I keep lapsing into more and more of a London twang and it's terrifying. I speak the queen's english, don'tcha know..

7:58 am

Nancy Boy

Sure thing, Eva ;)

Down to the last one. This is a fun grid today - not as frustrating as usual!

8:05 am

Nancy Boy

Do you get different slang in different parts of the states? Here people from the north and people from the south might as well be speaking a different language.

8:06 am

cbr1965

I dunno - what are ya'll doin' later? I'm fixin' to go to the store. I live in the South and it is absolutely different slang than other parts of the country.

8:07 am

LuvWordGames

NB, one example is that in the midwest we call soda drinks pop but if I got elsewhere in the country and ask for a pop they don't what I'm talking about

8:07 am

cbr1965

In the South, everything is called a "Coke" whether it is orange or lemon-lime or even Pepsi.

8:08 am

coke cola? lol

How bizarre. Since moving to London I've actually met people who use rhyming slang - sadly, it's infection

8:09 am

Nancy Boy

infection...infectIOUS...

8:10 am

FishFishGarden

on accents - Glasgow and Edinburgh accent slang is incomprehensible to each other; and they are only 40 miles apart

8:16 am

meeting over? ;)

8:17 am

yup!

Finally, fireworks!

8:18 am

Nancy Boy

I don't know how you can deal with stuff like that so early in the morning. It's twenty past two here and I'm just about awake..

8:19 am

EvaNadine

thankfully, most of the time, i only need to show up, shut up, and sit there -- it usually has nothing to do with me. today i actually had to say something good thing i dressed business-y today! (save for the dangly skull earrings im wearing) ;)
and its usually a quick meeting, 15 minutes or less.

8:19 am

EvaNadine

twice a week, and i basically just have to be there to pass on the word if anything is actually coming our way...

8:20 am

Nancy Boy

lol! just look interested, right? ;) I have a problem with listening to people in the morning, though - school assemblies always used to send me off to sleep. It's the soothing lull of someone's voice...zzz...

8:22 am

EvaNadine

just have eyes open, really is the only criteria. ;)

8:23 am

EvaNadine

we even get a printout of the schedule, so i just look it over a soon as i get there, and if nothing applies to me, i just amuse myself for the next 10-20 minutes. :)

8:24 am

Nancy Boy

I dream of a job where sitting down is an option ;) speaking of jobs, though, I'd better get ready to run along to mine...sigh

8:25 am

EvaNadine

awwwww

8:25 am

EvaNadine

if only i could pay you to stay here + entertain me all day. :)

8:26 am

Nancy Boy

don't I wish! I could be a kept man ;)

8:27 am

EvaNadine

heh, a man id love to keep, my dear. :)

8:28 am

well aren't you sweet ;) I'd best be off though. I can hear the burly men clamouring for my attention already ;) s'later! xx

Back late answering NB's question- there are different slangs in EVERY region, because ("Basically") we are not the United States but 50 little separate warring countries.

8:39 am

Kaplan the Magne

The many variations on a long sandwich on a kind of roll: Hero in NY, subs in New England, also Hoagies and gyros.

8:40 am

Kaplan the Magne

Pop vs. soda vs. tonic.

8:40 am

Kaplan the Magne

Freeways on the west coast, highways on the east. Rotaries on the east, roundabouts on the west.

8:41 am

jmitch

Kap: sandwiches down south=Po' Boys

8:42 am

Kaplan the Magne

I can't speak southern, but I am pretty fluent in New Yorkese and Boston ease, having lived in both.

8:42 am

Kaplan the Magne

I remember in London my friend asking in a restaurant where the bathroom was, and the waiter wondered why she wanted to take a bath in the middle of dinner.

8:42 am

wht

Milk shakes are frappes in New England except Rhode Island where they are cabinets

8:43 am

Kaplan the Magne

"Boston ease"- I meant Bostonese of course.

8:43 am

wht

And in New England, convenience stores are called spas.

8:44 am

Kaplan the Magne

Liquor stores are package stores, or packies.

8:44 am

wht

In West Virginia, green peppers are called mangoes

8:45 am

Kaplan the Magne

really? And what are mangoes called? Bananas?

8:46 am

wht

Don't know, maybe you can't get mangoes in West Virginia. :^)

8:46 am

Kaplan the Magne

:)

8:47 am

Kaplan the Magne

So they wonder why places outside of WV sell green pepper smoothies?

8:48 am

EvaNadine

im going to have to ask my coworker about the green pepper/mango thing, since hes from WVa.
curious!

8:50 am

bichon

wht, convenience stores = spas? This must be outside of CT

8:51 am

Kaplan the Magne

tI's Massachusetts.

8:51 am

wht

I think it comes from calling soda or pop, tonic.

8:52 am

wht

Remember that at one time, soda was considered a health food.

8:52 am

Kaplan the Magne

sure, you get a tonic at a spa.

8:52 am

bichon

then there are different names for sandwiches: NY = heros CT = grinders, MA = subs

8:52 am

Kaplan the Magne

That was when it had cocaine in it.

8:53 am

Kaplan the Magne

I said that one already, but I forgot grinders.

8:53 am

wht

I don't think Moxie ever had cocaine in it. :^)

8:56 am

coca-cola had cocain in it

as a antique glass collector,i can tell you the term "pop" came from the type of bottles that it was packaged in up here just before the turn of the last century.they were made of heavy glass and had a small ramp up in the neck of the bottle which in turn held an actual marble.at bottling time this marble was forced by carbonation up into the top of the neck where it formed a seal against a rubber washer.children of the time would open these by ramming a pencil or stick down sharply against the top of the the marble braking the seal with a loud "pop" sound.these bottles are very collectable and commonly reffered to as "cod stoppers"....

9:17 am

crosshair

morning everyone;)

9:19 am

9:20 am

bichon

interesting crossy, thanks for enlightening us

9:20 am

crosshair

they are very rare of course because the kids of the time,rather than turning them in for refund,used to break open the bottles to get the marble

9:20 am

Judi

Hi, all. So, Crossy, how many children choked on the marble?

9:20 am

EvaNadine

crossy, is that the same as the asian drinks you can buy today? with the marble in the neck?

9:21 am

dcseain

there are japanese sodas still sold with marbles in them like that, crossy

9:21 am

crosshair

none,the glass ramp help the marble in place while you drank,plus the neck was a fracton smaller than the marble to form the inital seal

9:21 am

crosshair

crossy admits marriage was a good idea?!

10:40 am

Nancy Boy

I suppose you're right, JBV ;) I'll tell you mine if you tell me yours...lol

10:40 am

crosshair

we have each in turn at one time saved each others life eva.what more could a person ask in life than the love of a mate who would lay down his or her life for the other?

10:40 am

she is here,but no she cannot see the monitor

10:41 am

JBV

same here, crossy, for better or worse and then some

10:41 am

hmmm, I envy you that, Crossy..

10:42 am

and we are still learning.i am sure we shall learn from each other till the end of our days:0

10:42 am

I got married the first time at a much too young 24.

anyone got a clue for the re 8?

10:46 am

EvaNadine

they certainly have set an example and shown that love is not an emotion, but a choice of action. its not always easy (they almost divorced when i was younger) but it is the most rewarding decision you will ever make, if you are both committed to it and each other.

10:46 am

hubby and I would have been together 43 years this October. There were more than a few rocky moments

10:50 am

EvaNadine

i read somewhere that (in america, anyway) arranged marriages have a higher success rate than non-arranged. and given the general american mindset, it makes sense. arranged marriages are more of a business contract, while non-arranged are based on emotion.

10:51 am

Nancy Boy

My longest relationship has been two and a half years - only managed half a year living together. Can't think in terms of decades ;)

10:51 am

Well I don't know Crossy, I thought I did have the right one ;)

funny also how opposites attract,my mrs is a real people person not content unless she is interacting with another.i,on the other hand can drift along with my books,my hobbies and taking my pictures,and nature walks.i can honestly say i have not been bored since around 1994 lol!

I loved The Shining; thought the acting in IT lacked a great deal - would love to see the remake of that, though, when it comes out

11:06 am

crosshair

the best ones are the old vincent price/borris karloff creature features,you have to love the spooky music and the tension build up and when that slime covered hand suddenly reaches out from behind the door and grabs the heroine you jump so badly you spray the bowl of popcorn all over the livingroom;))

my favorite BAD horror movie: The Gingerdead Man.
it was hilariously bad. :)

11:16 am

cbr1965

If you even made it through The Ring, you should definitely watch Poltergeist. It is a much better movie - and less scary, I think.

11:17 am

mixi6

time to go meet my lunch date. poof.

11:17 am

Nancy Boy

I only made it through The Ring by looking at that kid and thinking, "well, in a fair fight, I could probably take her.."

11:17 am

rururocks

someone clue the dr 6 that isn't bureau related?

11:18 am

cbr1965

The People Under the Stairs is another hilariously bad movie - the Evil Dead and Shaun of the Dead are good funny horror movies. And don't forget Zombieland!

11:18 am

amelu0218

think of the subject of the other meaning ofthat word, ruru.

11:18 am

cbr1965

Add a double vowel to the beginning of the first one.

11:18 am

amelu0218

of that...

11:18 am

Sorry - meant the end!

simon peg can do no wrong. :)

I had to move the TV out of my room after The Ring. Wimp, wimp, wimp.

11:21 am

Add two vowels to the end of the da4/6.

11:21 am

rururocks

thank you cbr

11:22 am

EvaNadine

ok kids, lunchtime for me.
will you be here for a while, NB?

11:22 am

cbr1965

I saw The Ring with my husband and he laughed all the way through it which kind of killed my fear. The way the kid moved freaked me out when I watched it on cable alone though. If you liked Shaun of the Dead, you will LOVE Zombieland!

11:23 am

Nancy Boy

Depends if it gets any busier, Eva - completely dead at the moment!

11:23 am

EvaNadine

ok, i will be quick like a bunny!
*dashes off to caf*

11:24 am

Nancy Boy

The visuals of The Ring got to me. The videotape is genuinely very, very freaky.

11:24 am

Nancy Boy

enjoy, Eva!

11:25 am

cbr1965

The visuals were the scary part for me too - especially the girl climbing out of the well - and the fly on the screen.

11:26 am

Nancy Boy

Urgh yeah, and when she coughs up that...thing...the horse scared me too. Probably because I'm scared of horses anyway. I liked the book, though; wasn't especially well-written (I think a lot got lost in translation) but it gave you a lot of background

11:27 am

Nancy Boy

and those little "flashes" of the ring, and the TVs flicking on, and, and, oh god, it's horrible!

11:28 am

cbr1965

I've now had my fill of Japanese horror movies with The Ring, the Grudge, both sequels, etc. so I think I will move on the better movies.

11:28 am

Nancy Boy

Did you see the original Japanese versions? Those turn you over...

11:29 am

cbr1965

I saw the original Ring (or maybe Grudge) but the others were all remakes.

11:29 am

cbr1965

I thought Let the Right One In was a really good subtitled movie too if you haven't seen it.

11:30 am

Nancy Boy

I still believe The Shining to be the perfect film, though. Just the music sets me on edge!

11:31 am

cbr1965

I love The Shining too. I am a movie and tv addict so have seen everything and have an opinion about it all!

11:32 am

weiik

cbr, if you've seen it all, what about the lathe of heaven, older from the early '70s, not scary, but, could it be true?

11:34 am

Nancy Boy

Since we started talking about scary films, it has been thundering...I'm scared!

11:35 am

weiik

nb, we had that last nignt, beautifuly display in the clouds from a distance, till it got here

11:35 am

cbr1965

I haven't seen that weiik but now I will track it down and let you know!

11:37 am

weiik

had been on PBS quite a few time, worth seeking out, about a therapist and a patient, with reactive dreams, odd how he manipulated the mans dreams to change the world, what he tried for usually backfired, makes you happy with what you've got, set way into the future, as '70s moives were, now that we are there, they forgot to include financial crisises

11:39 am

cbr1965

Sounds like Inception.

11:39 am

one more and I am stuck the last ta

11:42 am

cbr1965

I love black and white movies. Looks like there was a 2002 remake of it as well.

11:42 am

Gail

My two favorite scary movies are both old ones. The Uninvited starring Ray Milland, and the original Haunting of Hill House. Both black and white.

11:42 am

weiik

when you see the remake let me know, I've only seen the original

11:43 am

weiik

a friend of mine owned the restaurant used in filming "The Blob" for years, quite a few people would come just for that reason ... downingtown PA

11:44 am

cbr1965

I thought Paranormal Activity was scary too - mostly because it seemed like such a normal life for much of the movie. I really liked both of those too, Gail.

11:44 am

weiik

I used to walk the stairs in DC used for the exorcist, they are very scary, but, the house is no where near them

11:44 am

cbr1965

I was going to watch the PBS version rather than the remake Weiik since it is rated highter.

11:44 am

EvaNadine

ok, so i was slaw, like a rabbit missing its lucky foot...
still here, NB?

11:45 am

weiik

cbr, put yourself in the mindset of "buck rogers" when you watch it

11:45 am

cbr1965

The Exorcist was very scary when it came out - not so much upon rewatch. The book was much scarier, I thought. Taking the kids to lunch so I will drop in later to see if anyone needs clues (or has other good movies for me to watch!)

11:46 am

Nancy Boy

Kind of, Eva ;) floating around. Thinking about what film to scare my flatmate with later...

11:47 am

ended up getting the sushis, which is now done by a company that only does sustainable fishing and farming, and got the veggie roll. :)

11:48 am

um sushi

11:49 am

Nancy Boy

Ah, it would appear I radiate veganism ;)

11:50 am

EvaNadine

hehe.... healthy eating, at least.
but i have been trying to have at least one meat-free meal a day, even if its not vegan...

11:50 am

EvaNadine

plus, the salads have turned me off, since finding a bug in mine the other day, and there really arent too many other healthy options in our caf!

11:51 am

weiik

eva, they say the bug is protein

11:52 am

EvaNadine

i can get all the protein i need from my regular meat, thankyouverymuch.
hehe

11:53 am

Nancy Boy

ewww! well eating an insect hardly fits into the vegetarian ethics :P although the thought isn't making me any less hungry. Hurry up, midnight, I wanna go home!

11:53 am

weiik

I spotted flies around the salad bar in the grocery store awhile ago, stopped that right away

11:54 am

EvaNadine

this was the one time i grabbed a pre-made salad from the ready-to-go section of the caf. wont be making THAT mistake again!

11:55 am

weiik

I now purchase the bits and make the salad myself, after washing everything to my liking

11:58 am

7:11 pm

Jellen

You are a good person, herin...

7:12 pm

herinfernallady

Jellen. For me to donate blood takes 30min. I fill their pint thing in 6 min

7:12 pm

cbr1965

Herin, I have done it - it is called apherisis, I think.

7:13 pm

Jellen

Hi, cbr

7:14 pm

cbr1965

They put a catheter in one arm and take out your blood and attach it to a machine and take out the platelets and then use another catheter to put the blood (minus platelets) back in. It was years ago, but that's what I remember. I also fill the bags really fast and have really heavy iron in my blood.

7:15 pm

herinfernallady

Thanks CBR. I didn't donate for 6mths the last lady left a bruise and a half. This time nothing.

7:15 pm

herinfernallady

Um Jess they went to a farm and allowed 60 animals to be slaughtered

9:03 pm

jesdraggon

go, go, go, Min! :)

9:04 pm

herinfernallady

Jess you are a good fur mummy

9:05 pm

jesdraggon

i don't know the details of what you're referring to, lady, so this is totally pulling stuff out of the air... but "they" who? and how is the RSPCA supposed to actually do anything? at least in the US, the ASPCA is basically a political lobby, not actually shelters or any sort of enforcement.

9:05 pm

jesdraggon

as for slaughter... if they are humanely slaughtered, there's no illegality in it; numbers don't change that, though they make a potentially gruesome headline

9:07 pm

jesdraggon

and regulating puppy mills is complicated--you can limit how many animals a person is allowed to own, but you can also run a puppy mill with 1 male and 1 or 2 female dogs, so limiting to, say, 4 or 5 adult dogs doesn't actually stop people breeding poor quality dogs in bad conditions.

9:07 pm

herinfernallady

Ok. the RSPCA was aware that this puppy farm had horrid conditions. They have the powers to um take the animals. They didn't. This ahole then proceeded to rehouse the dogs at another puppy farmer then they shot them at about 1am

9:07 pm

jesdraggon

and it DOES put a lot of stress on reputable breeders who are trying to make a living breeding quality dogs, or who have a show kennel.

9:09 pm

jesdraggon

well, at least in the US, confiscating animals is usually a pretty big deal, involving cooperation between a shelter and the local law enforcement, and also requiring a place to put the animals when you take them--and that can be a real bugger. what is a humane society that normally runs at pretty full gonna do with 60 new dogs all at once?

9:09 pm

Magyk

er7?

9:09 pm

jesdraggon

takes a lot of planning and preparation, not just a matter of "go take them"--otherwise the "rescue" just moves them to other crappy conditions.

9:09 pm

herinfernallady

Well the thing is it isn't just that one shelter. There is arms that would take them.

9:09 pm

jesdraggon

they also need to make sure any confiscated dogs are moved to a location that the owner can't get them back.

9:10 pm

jesdraggon

and then they have to hold them while the owner takes them to court trying to get them back.

9:10 pm

herinfernallady

The RSPCA has the power to confiscate with out charges of theft. Then there is other organisations that take them and vet check them. It was really sad

9:10 pm

jesdraggon

because it is pretty much inevitable that they will get sued over something like that

9:11 pm

jesdraggon

i'm not saying they shouldn't try to help where they can; i'm just saying that it is never a simple situation.

9:11 pm

herinfernallady

RSPCA have powers like police. Animal lib dont

9:11 pm

herinfernallady

O and do you know how amusing it is to have a semi deaf cat

9:12 pm

jesdraggon

hell, even sheriff's departments have ended up being sued over animal possession in neglect cases--and they have to hold those dogs the entire time the case is in court, because if they adopt them out, and the judge rules against them, they'd have to go get them back.

9:13 pm

jesdraggon

and i'm not familiar with the laws down there, but here, gunshot is a legal method of euthanasia (as long as they do it right)

9:14 pm

Magyk

anyone have a clue for er7? it's my last one!!

9:14 pm

herinfernallady

Mag I was not ignoring you. I don't have it

9:14 pm

One of my cats burped or farted thus freaking out the other cat on the other cat pillow. Both are trying to work out what the hell that sound was and looking very snarky at each other.

9:14 pm

reading back on the puppy mill issues,not so prevelant here but we are dealing with a cat population explosion.we have 450 cats over and above what our shelter can hold,but we were lucky, a person had a old house due for demolition soon,but it still had full heat and hydro,so he donated it to the the shelter and it has been used to house all the extra cats till they can be adopted lol,they have 2 full bathrooms including tubs and showers for their exclusive use and 5 cat jungle gyms and couches and chairs,there is a volunteer team that takes turns for the daily needs and clean up.they have free run of the house excluding the basement

and we are in the middle of a kitty foster parent program which should help

9:34 pm

cbr1965

My kids used to have birthday parties that, instead of presents, asked for things to donate to the shelters. We got all kinds of checks, dog beds, cat beds, food, toys, etc. that we donated. People were really generous when it helped animals and it meant much more to the kids to help the animals than to add more junk to their rooms!

9:34 pm

crosshair

good idea cbr!!

9:34 pm

I'll be here off and on to help with clues if still needed

Something thoughtful is so much more appreciated than more junk. I just think the lesson of helping others is a good one for the kids, especially mine who lead pretty charmed lives.

9:38 pm

The beginning of my previous comment was directed to yours, herin. I love that idea and I know her friends will too. It will mean much more down the road and is more than enough.

how you play this shit

11:47 pm

Pinikula

start with the HELP icon above the chat log...

11:47 pm

Pinikula

it's like Boggle (find words using connecting letters in consecutive order)

11:48 pm

aaron12

thank you lol

the flip will occur in approximately 10 minutes (the grid flips once daily at the same time giving you a full 24 hours to find all the words in the grid)

Just know, this one will disappear and a new puzzle will load in 11 minutes so this one might be good for practice.

11:50 pm

Pinikula

hi cbr

11:50 pm

aaron12

11:51 pm

Hi Pinikula - I am just waiting for the new one. I am going to guess it will be big - 250 maybe? This was a pretty easy one.

11:52 pm

Pinikula

Lickety provides a list of "clues" (the first 2 letters of each word, the letter count, and the word's point value); see Lickety's Babble Clues underneath Friend of Babble (near the bottom of the page)

11:52 pm

Pinikula

for a small one, this really wasn't too bad...250 sounds good to me

11:52 pm

aaron12

ok thanks again

Aaron, it isn't that hard once you get the hang og it. There are a lot of unusable letters in this one. The tile stats underneath tell you how many words come off each letter in the grid.

11:53 pm

cbr1965

*of

11:54 pm

Pinikula

when you get really lost and/or have extreme difficulty "seeing" a word, you'll see people ask for clues like: er7/36 plz? a clue in the chog might be: er7 = latin mistake

11:56 pm

Pinikula

(gosh, aren't we a wealth of info)

11:56 pm

aaron12

yea

11:58 pm

cbr1965

Today was the first time in a long time I haven't had to ask for help. It would be really hard without Lickety too!

11:58 pm

gremlinn

People rarely don't look for clues in the chat log, though. They look in the live chat.

11:58 pm

gremlinn

- don't

11:58 pm

Pinikula

You'll see a lot of "call outs" in the first hour after the grid flips...players will be calling out words they find (like er7, dr6 x 2, etc)..."detailed" clues are normally held off for the first hour so players can find words on their own

11:59 pm

cbr1965

I can remember mining the chat log years ago!

11:59 pm

Pinikula

sorry, grem...I thought the CHOG was the live chat...if it's not, my mistake :)
