2:20 am

Christine

My sisters, in UK and NZ use webcam, and my laptop has a thingie to use the camera, but I've never checked out what I need to do ... anyway, then I'd need to tidy my bedroom, or hang a sheet behind me, to conceal everything.

2:21 am

m9f9l

LOL Christine... figure it out! wouldn't you like to talk to your sisters??

3:11 am

sandyloo

herin, my brain seems to have gone into hibernation mood as well

3:11 am

sprite

aw lady, do you know I have the same thing? Side effect of medication, and it really sucks. Makes you feel stupid while all it is is just having a few wires crossed.

3:11 am

sprite

sandy, dearheart, be lazy! You earned the right. Tomorrow is another day.

3:12 am

herinfernallady

Nope just a down week.

sandyloo

basic lazy nature

3:13 am

sandyloo

I dont feel sleepy just lazy

3:13 am

sprite

whatever the cause, ladies, we are due a bit of laziness. Let's enjoy it.

3:14 am

sandyloo

I get a guilty concience, I fight against feeling like that but it persists

3:14 am

sprite

why isn't more like a sh5 a valid word? He looks sh***y, I look sh***ier?

3:15 am

sprite

sandy, imagine a large, longterm parking garage, with many floors. Then park the guilty conscience somewhere in the building. Leave it there until you need it again.

3:15 am

herinfernallady

Sandy i stupidly turn the heating on to 30 and snoozed

3:15 am

m9f9l

good one sprite!

3:15 am

sandyloo

I will try that sprite, and that sounds good herin

3:16 am

m9f9l

fighting it just makes it last longer. I say dive into the laziness.. I usually come out the other side better that way

3:16 am

sprite

a little too hot to my taste, but the snoozy part sounds lovely, lady

3:16 am

sprite

I second that, m9.

3:16 am

herinfernallady

I actually fell asleep mid conversation online with one of my friends

3:17 am

sandyloo

m9 , that could work

3:17 am

sprite

3:17 am

Hello all

3:17 am

3:17 am

sandyloo

sprite

3:25 am

sprite

if something bothers you, it is never trivial

3:25 am

herinfernallady

I have a good phantom : Perve or Pervert

3:25 am

sandyloo

I tried those

3:25 am

sprite

me too

3:25 am

sandyloo

I thought perve was a real word

3:25 am

sprite

I believe it is perv, but not valid

3:25 am

herinfernallady

Perve s a real word regadless of the diconary

3:27 am

herinfernallady

Sprite I even had the b.f look after me monday nigh

3:27 am

sprite

true. The enable dictionary may rule Babble, but not us.

3:29 am

sprite

that is so good, lady, to have someone look after you. What was the matter?

3:32 am

herinfernallady

Not much just a case of can't be arsed itis

3:33 am

sprite

if anybody deserves that, it is you, lady. You worked hard enough for 3 last year. Ti4 to be waited on hand and foot :)

3:33 am

herinfernallady

awwww Sprite. We are also looking at applying to a company that selects fruit and vegs and sends it to yuou

3:34 am

sprite

nice!

3:34 am

lynxxx

I got that for a while Infernal

3:36 am

sprite

I can show you how dead my brain is today... my phantoms are vampire and minister. They are not even close!

3:37 am

herinfernallady

Aussie Farmers Direct Lynxx? Are they good and worth it?

3:40 am

lynxxx

The same. Good quality fruit/veges. We got the $25 box each week. Good $ value, convenient. Problems - LOTS of apples and pears. You get essential veges but perhaps not enough of them. We usually ended up buying more celery and other greens. You can select what you want but you need to be paying at least $35 a week I think

3:42 am

sandyloo

There is a farm up the road from us that sells fruit and veges direct - that is great and they sell beautiful strawberries which are so cheap

3:42 am

herinfernallady

Lynnxx we are looking into it.

3:43 am

lynxxx

Well worth a try Infernal - we did it for about 6-9 months

3:43 am

sprite

cold soundword alert

3:44 am

lynxxx

achoo?

3:44 am

sprite

close :)

3:44 am

sandyloo

funny word eh sprite

3:45 am

sprite

hard to find for me... does not count as a word in my brain.

3:46 am

herinfernallady

Lynxx we are thinking the $35 box. What aer they like on Pototoes?

3:48 am

lynxxx

There was usually enough potatoes for 2 meals in the $25 box. Have you looked on line - I think they give examples of what is in the boxes

3:48 am

herinfernallady

You can see basics but until you sign up you can't see

3:50 am

lynxxx

bit stupid that!

3:53 am

rubyfoo

good morning everybody

3:53 am

sprite

morning rubyfoo

3:54 am

lynxxx

morning Ruby

3:54 am

sandyloo

hi ruby

3:56 am

rubyfoo

hello friends. Around here they deliver frozen food only and who wants that?

3:56 am

sprite

as long as it is big chunked stracchiatella ice cream, I will not object

3:57 am

rubyfoo

hahah, that is husband's favorite flavor; we used to get that in Miami, a real gelato shop. Not here in the country, however

3:58 am

sprite

we have an italian ice shop in Zaandam, and when the father of the owner feels like it, mostly in summer of course, he drives a small ice car with a limited amount of flavours. Even into our neighbourhood :)

3:59 am

rubyfoo

how lovely!

4:00 am

sprite

it is lovely ice and often it is a surprise to hear the jingle he uses... if it coincides with our end of dinner, we get ice cream as dessert.

4:00 am

lynxxx

excuse me - I need to get Stew and my daughter comfortable on the couch! - and get myself some coffee

4:00 am

sprite

bye lyn, have a good ti4 :)

4:01 am

redturtlehead

hi all. sprite i sent you a message?

4:01 am

rubyfoo

4:01 am

sprite

hi red! Let me check my mail.

4:02 am

rubyfoo

ooh, sorry, wanted some of lynxx's coffee! slinking away

4:02 am

rubyfoo

hi red

4:02 am

sprite

found it, red. Great idea!

4:02 am

redturtlehead

I'm glad. I fought with taking the spaces out of the address!

4:02 am

redturtlehead

Offers RUby some coffee.

4:03 am

rubyfoo

ty, red, am I forgive?

4:03 am

sprite

red, that is a Friday. Would it be ok to do it the day before too, or is the date really important?

4:03 am

rubyfoo

n*

4:03 am

redturtlehead

I think given the travel on the Friday, the day before might actually be better, so he can see them.

4:03 am

sprite

brilliant, I will change things around. Hold on.

4:04 am

herinfernallady

Hi Red and Ruby.

4:05 am

herinfernallady

Ruby is things better today?

4:05 am

rubyfoo

yes, much, thank you herin. I just waited him out and let him fend for himself for two meals

4:06 am

sprite

woooooot rubyfoo! That is great.

4:06 am

rubyfoo

and today he's sweet as can be!

4:07 am

sprite

a bit like a child, rubyfoo... needs limits, and improves behaviour when he gets them?

4:08 am

herinfernallady

THat sounds like dog training

4:08 am

rubyfoo

you're certainly right, but it's hard to be tough when he's in such bad shape

4:08 am

rubyfoo

woof!

4:10 am

rubyfoo

phantom: sherpa

4:10 am

sprite

I can imagine, rubyfoo. He's had a bad shock and is hurt badly. But he should not take you for granted. I think it is great you do not let him trample you.

4:10 am

rubyfoo

you can't imagine how much the support I receive in the chog has helped me, before this catastrophe, too

4:11 am

rubyfoo

the collective wisdom in here is very impressive

4:11 am

sprite

it is, isn't it? Have often thought the same. Amazing community.

4:12 am

rubyfoo

we are such an assortment: nationalities, ages, experiences, etc.

4:12 am

rubyfoo

it is wonderful to get different points of view

4:13 am

rubyfoo

best word for me, to far: he6/24!

4:13 am

sprite

most people he4 are respectful to others and to other opinions. I often feel like the points of view supplement eachother.

4:14 am

sprite

good one :) Nice and quiet, hm?

4:14 am

rubyfoo

exactly!

4:15 am

herinfernallady

Seriously Ruby. My friend had a dog that was a lot nasty and she needed 2 people to muzzle and cage him. He learnt after 2 days that minimal contact no treats released for bathroom that it wasn't fun and he behaved better

4:17 am

rubyfoo

but I think this dog, Magique, can never be trusted again. Mayor came yesterday with the gendarmes to collect photos of husband's wounds and SHE wants the dog put down. She said that she was ashamed for our whole village that such a thing could happen here. Very nice, I thought!

4:18 am

sprite

red, I put it in. Thanks for the great idea.

4:18 am

rubyfoo

BTW, I think perve (perv) is a word, too!

4:19 am

sprite

they couldn't be more supportive, rubyfoo. That is wonderful.

4:20 am

rubyfoo

what a wonderful place this is! I am so lucky to have found it

4:22 am

herinfernallady

Ruby it is good that the village is working for you

4:23 am

rubyfoo

really a lovely surprise. And the fact that they all "know" my husband, even though he's so shy, works in our favor. He may be nasty to me sometimes, but he is very nice to all of the people he sees in the street

4:24 am

herinfernallady

I need ideas for B.fs birthday

4:26 am

rubyfoo

miscropscope (for studying plants and spores and pollen), geodes and/or fossils, that book of photos taken from the air

4:26 am

rubyfoo

4:26 am

rubyfoo

4:27 am

herinfernallady

Ruby Refuse to see or read Steig Larsson due to the way his family treated his ''wife''

4:28 am

rubyfoo

I didn't know that and haven't read the books.... :(

4:28 am

rubyfoo

I have a Swedish "sometimes" neighbor who raves about them

4:28 am

rubyfoo

How about Henning Mankiell books? I lovd those

4:29 am

sprite

a box full of selfmade coupons. For a kiss, for a lazy TV night, for a late night snack, for a cuddle, for a freebie 'sorry' after a fight, for permission to warm his cold feet in bed...

4:32 am

rubyfoo

4:32 am

herinfernallady

I mean what do we do for dinner

4:33 am

sprite

wow rubyfoo, that is something. Well, anything that keeps him busy for hours is great, I think. He needs that. And so do you ;)

4:33 am

rubyfoo

hahah, herin, I was thinking "gifts"

4:34 am

rubyfoo

*poof* also gave him a library ladder one year!

4:35 am

sprite

hm ok... now that I cannot help answer, lady. No idea what options you have there. Or you could make a very intimate dinner at home. Entree from your hands. Small drink from your feet. Main course from your stomach.... etc.

4:36 am

herinfernallady

Sprite that is an idea but no

4:36 am

herinfernallady

Very sweet idea

4:37 am

sprite

:)

4:37 am

herinfernallady

supose I should check dinner

4:37 am

lynxxx

Make a paella at home, make some sangria and invite a couple of dear friends over to enjoy & celebrate

4:39 am

herinfernallady

We have no available friends

4:40 am

sprite

then, if you can afford it, make a reservation at a nice restaurant and tell the owner it is your bf's birthday.

4:41 am

herinfernallady

awwww

4:41 am

herinfernallady

o idea

4:41 am

lynxxx

mmm Go see Inception at the movies at the Classic in Elsternwick then go to the russian restaurant next door - mountainous range of vodka

4:41 am

sprite

ohhhhh cool idea, lyn! We are going to see that movie too, with the family. So looking forward to it.

4:43 am

lynxxx

I bet your son will like it

4:43 am

herinfernallady

We are looking at Maha Bar and Cumulus Inc and mmmm vodka

4:44 am

sprite

I hope so. And my daughter really wants to see it too. People told me that if she is smart enough, she will like it too... and she is smart enough for anything and everything.

herinfernallady

I know. We have a few ideas

4:59 am

herinfernallady

http://www.cumulusinc.com.au/ this place the menu looks awesome

5:01 am

sprite

I think you can eat there. You just cannot make a reservation for just 2.

5:01 am

sprite

but maybe if you tell them it is a special occasion...

5:02 am

herinfernallady

O Cumulus is not the issue it is De Lacys that is the issue

5:03 am

sprite

lol... ok I give up. *hugs* hun, and I know you will find just the right solutions.

5:03 am

herinfernallady

I hope De Lacys is a go go. But the shoulder of lamb looks nomericific

5:04 am

herinfernallady

We were just saying that we could get the shoulder of lamb then act like children

5:07 am

herinfernallady

Sprite I am looking at hotels though for maximum drinking

5:07 am

sprite

I hope you and the bf are going to have a wonderful ti4 :)

5:09 am

herinfernallady

There is this stunning hotel in the city that has wedding specials and we were just saying the grand ball room is amazing. We would do it for a party. It is really every little girly girls dream wedding

6:28 am

gortmold

oh, got it, didn't think that could possibly be a word

6:28 am

gortmold

should have learned by now that if it can't possibly, then of course it is

6:28 am

Anniebrook

gort, half of these words are not words, well, to me anyway

6:29 am

gortmold

you are right there annie

6:29 am

Anniebrook

If I am going to dismiss a word, I say to myself I better type this one and lo and behold a word!

6:30 am

gortmold

and the converse is often the case

6:30 am

NonoNanette

I've done that many a time Annie

6:30 am

NonoNanette

and also get some when i thought i did a typo

6:30 am

gortmold

do you look up the definitions?

6:30 am

Anniebrook

nono, I love when that happens..a typo is a word

6:30 am

NonoNanette

sometimes I do

6:30 am

Anniebrook

sometimes

6:31 am

gortmold

do you remember them? use the word in conversation? impress your friends and astound your enemies with your expansive vocab?

6:31 am

6:34 am

City 17 dweller

6:34 am

Anniebrook

do you think your dinner companions will understand the word?

6:35 am

gortmold

no but they know i'm a bit of a funny bunny, so they will be unperturbed and might guess from context

6:37 am

Anniebrook

i looked it up...deviating from common rules or forms..so that's you..LOL

6:37 am

gortmold

u understand me well, annie :)

6:50 am

Anniebrook

ruby, I read back in the chog that he only communicates with you by email and phone? Does he actually think that is normal behaviour for two people in same house?

7:11 am

periwinkle

ok

7:11 am

rubyfoo

that was yesterday. I called his bluff and let him fend for himself for lunch and dinner and today he's as sweet as can be

7:11 am

Sally-catlover

Ok, so not every day. Perhaps you have found the secret then.

pop culture from 60 years ago, gort!

7:22 am

Anniebrook

neither do I

7:22 am

rubyfoo

I thought everybody was raised on old disney movies, even now!

7:22 am

Sally-catlover

I didn't know Bambi's mother - and I have seen the film and cried through it!

7:22 am

ChampFit

Tried to google it, and it says she wasn't named!

7:22 am

Sally-catlover

Sounds like a good pub quiz question.

7:22 am

rubyfoo

yes, we all cried when e** died in the beginning

7:23 am

*sob* yes, I was very upset

7:23 am

was it Venison?

how old are the founders of google????

it's the 71st anniversary of the Wizard of Oz!

pretty damned young ruby. Son works there

7:23 am

rubyfoo

my son was raised on Oz books, has a whole collection of them

7:24 am

ChampFit

Good point Ruby! But it was a website about Bambi trivia, I suppose.

7:24 am

Uneaixoise

in Ann Arbor, where my daughter lives, the old refurbished theatre is sponsoring a showing of the film as a singalong -- words provided to audience!

7:24 am

Gortmold, you can borrow my copies -- have it in b&w and color! :-)

7:25 am

ChampFit

WHAT??? How is that possible? You weren't traumatized by the witch as the rest of us were?

7:26 am

rubyfoo

husband never saw it either (nor did his children which is probably why he doesn't hear from them)

7:26 am

Uneaixoise

no matter how many times I saw it, I was soooooo scared of the witch!!

7:26 am

gortmold

never fear, champ, i was plenty traumatised, just not with tv witches (real ones, sure)

7:26 am

Sally-catlover

I was traumatised by Snowhite and Cinderella as a little girl. *Sniff*

7:26 am

Uneaixoise

have a friend who had nightmares about the flying monkeys, even as an adult! LOL

7:27 am

ChampFit

That dang witch...although I thoroughly enjoyed "Wicked"!

7:30 am

Oh that is SO not a word. Have just got Sprite's earlier comment about sounding like a cold word. My last B word and just tried it on the off chance. Grumble, grumble.

7:35 am

rubyfoo

there is actually a company called that, gort

7:35 am

bichon

you betcha gort

7:35 am

Sally-catlover

The funny thing to me is that when I read back through a little of the chog, I get lots of words from people typing he** and so on, and therefore drawing attention to the word I might have missed if they had just used it in their chat.

7:35 am

ChampFit

Yes gort...

7:35 am

that's true sally, like pe**

lets see if this is any good...

that just gave me an 8, bichon, but not the one you clued!

7:46 am

lynxxx

there is 2 *s Ruby and 3 7s

7:46 am

lynxxx

2 8s

7:46 am

bichon

both 8's mean pretty much the same thing

7:46 am

ChampFit

Eva, I LOVE spinach in an omelet! Do you happen to add salsa?

7:46 am

gortmold

clue for the 1st re6/27 pls?

7:47 am

cagey

dont have that one yet, sorry gort

7:47 am

EvaNadine

they didnt have any salsa, but i got some ketchup.
normally, i wouldnt slather a breakfast in ketchup, but i have LEARNED about the caf food. ;)

7:47 am

bichon

think a flowing body of water, but ad an extra vowel in the 3rd spot

7:47 am

rubyfoo

those who re** what they sow

7:47 am

ChampFit

Ahhhh...note for when you're cooking the breakfast!

7:48 am

Anniebrook

bichon, thanks!

7:48 am

bichon

yvw

7:48 am

rubyfoo

ooh, great clue, bichon, got 2 from it!

7:49 am

Anniebrook

I think I need a Tylenol from all these re's

7:49 am

EvaNadine

heh, yeah. if i were at home, well, we dont often have spinach in the house. if i made a quiche (because thats what it is -- not sure why i said omelette!) it would probably be onions, peppers, and cheese. and anything else i could find to throw in there. :)

7:49 am

bichon

yvw ruby

7:49 am

cagey

Im with you annie

7:49 am

gortmold

vowel in 2nd spot, but i got it from that thanks bich

7:49 am

rubyfoo

reps

7:50 am

ChampFit

I keep frozen spinach. If you stick in the pan first, with a lid, and cook while you're chopping up some mushrooms/onion and beating the egg whites, it goes pretty quickly.

7:50 am

gortmold

so what does it mean to ive in the first place i wonder

7:50 am

rubyfoo

sorry, I'm getting punchy so will fly away....*poof*

7:50 am

Anniebrook

I am flying with you, ruby...bbl

7:50 am

ChampFit

Eva...have a great recipe for a crustless quiche that you might like. Spinach and eggs and whatnot...throw it in a bowl, mix it up, put in a pan and bake. Easy peasy!

7:51 am

EvaNadine

the eye dr actually wants me to eat more spinach. and orange bell peppers. says they both contain some nutrient that may be able to help my vision stop deteriorating so quickly...

7:51 am

Sally-catlover

ttfn ruby and annie

7:51 am

gortmold

are you on the curves diet, by any chance champ?

7:51 am

EvaNadine

champ -- sounds great! the crust is my LEAST favorite part of a quiche (i usually pick it off)
but isnt a crust-less quiche just a fritatta?

7:51 am

ChampFit

No...just closing in on 50 and having to watch what I put in my mouth!

7:52 am

ChampFit

IDK...the recipe actually calls it "Easy Italian Spinach Pie". It's on kraftfoods.com You can search for it on there pretty easily.

7:52 am

isn't that sorbet?

sorbet is yet another beat, i believe.

;-) actually, good clue Sally!

8:14 am

Sally-catlover

I quite like a snack while I ***t!

8:15 am

jbp

hee. yes after I've been off on all those ca++++

8:18 am

Sally-catlover

I always find it so interesting how we all use different words, how the word sh7/40 is instantly familiar to the English, but not the USians, and the word ca*** to me calls up a vision of skipping about rather than the food item.

8:18 am

EvaNadine

ahh. love short meetings. :)

8:19 am

ChampFit

I always go to the food item Sally!

8:20 am

Sally-catlover

But I don't think it's so commonly eaten in the UK. We have them, we might eat them, but not so commonly.

8:20 am

Sally-catlover

And I remember sh7 lemons as a child, but obviously that's not an international thing.

8:21 am

ardilla

hi all

8:21 am

Sally-catlover

We would suck the sh7 through a straw and it would go up our nose - er, no it wasn't what you think :-)

8:21 am

ChampFit

Definitely not...well not over here anyway. That clue threw me for a loop!

8:22 am

ChampFit

That's like a shake, only with the sh7? I didn't know people did that! But then again, why not?

8:22 am

msideb01

we know all about sh7 over here, we just put it in punch more often than eat it as it

8:22 am

Sally-catlover

It's the same with "celebrities" or characters. I have never viewed the particular soap that *** Sharples was in, but it would be instantly recognisable here. Whereas often people from US or Oz give similar clues and we all go "huh?"!

8:23 am

Sally-catlover

No it was (is) a powder.

8:23 am

ardilla

ooh, one of my favorite frozen desserts is in the grid

8:23 am

Sally-catlover

You could get it loose (and suck it through a straw) or contained in a pretend lemon, and when you sucked it the powder would come out and fizz.

8:24 am

ChampFit

Dear goodness..I have some kids that would be all over that!!!

8:24 am

Sally-catlover

sweet_confirm.asp?ProductID=SWEE169&sr
c=gbase

8:25 am

Anniebrook

We called the lemon sh7 in the US lemon ices. The only that you can suck through a straw

8:25 am

lynxxx

as kids, we used to have sh7 bombs, pink 'lolly' around the powder - or small packets of the powder that you ate with a small spoon. Yum

8:25 am

Sally-catlover

(Tried to find a link without the actual WORD in the url!)

8:25 am

NonoNanette

sally we had those but they were called fizz sticks or some such thing

8:25 am

Anniebrook

back to housecleaning,

8:26 am

ardilla

my favorite is orange sh7

8:26 am

EvaNadine

yeah, we definitely had fizzy powder. but not such fun names...heh

8:26 am

ChampFit

OHHHHH...those DO look fizzy, given the ingredients. Fun snack item!

8:26 am

ChampFit

Well done Sally!

8:27 am

msideb01

ok, so now I figured out why I have no idea what you're all describing... in the US, we call a frozen, almost ice cream-like treat by the name sh7/40

8:27 am

Sally-catlover

I loved them. Seem to remember we sometimes had liquorice straws to suck the powder up. So black sticky faces!

8:27 am

ChampFit

there ya go!

8:27 am

ardilla

that's what i was talking about, msideb

8:28 am

Sally-catlover

If you saw a child with powder round its nose these days you would think something else :-)

8:28 am

ChampFit

shervil

8:28 am

ChampFit

Sorry!

8:28 am

Took me a sec... it's still early, although not too early to catch you fishing, Champ =P

Fishing and missing!

8:29 am

very true, sally

The loss of innocence is sad.

8:30 am

periwinkle

hello all

8:30 am

ChampFit

Don't get me started! Just found out that a parent in my area is buying booze for the teenagers...15 year olds.

8:30 am

periwinkle

this is the first morning since I brought Zoe-Anne home from the vet that she is not staying in the closet!

8:31 am

ardilla

hi and congrats pe4

8:31 am

NonoNanette

thats totally wrong Champ!

8:31 am

periwinkle

ty ardilla

8:31 am

ChampFit

Yep! She's divorced and apparently trying to go back in time through her daughter.

8:31 am

NonoNanette

progress is being made Pe**

8:32 am

ardilla

is the list up?

8:32 am

periwinkle

indeed, NoNo, such a relief. I am still keeping her upstairs with me

8:32 am

Sally-catlover

At 15! You are still the parent.

8:32 am

periwinkle

yes there is a list

8:32 am

ardilla

thx

8:32 am

Sally-catlover

Yes, on my final 34 and now listing.

8:32 am

ChampFit

One would think! We're trying to reach her to give her the chance to stop. Otherwise, we can file a report and let the constables handle it.

8:33 am

Sally-catlover

Think it's illegal in the UK to give alcohol under a certain age (not sure of age since my son is all growed up).

8:34 am

NonoNanette

Champ the autorities should be notified anyway. She is starting those teens on a very bad path

8:34 am

car.eeyore

Morning!

8:34 am

NonoNanette

hi Car

8:34 am

ChampFit

I have one growed up, thankfully, but 2 more behind! Nono, I talked to a constable about it. At the time, I didn't realize she was doing it for "everyone". Found that out after.

8:34 am

NonoNanette

Sally it is illegal here as well. In most states the legal age for drinking alcohol is 21

8:35 am

ChampFit

It sure isn't 15!!!

8:36 am

msideb01

yeah, 15 is a little young, even for underage drinking, which although I don't officially condone is undoubtedly exacerbated by the legal drinking age being 21 in the US

8:38 am

ChampFit

I know kids drink...but someone giving it to them without parental permission is wrong. I seem to remember stealing liquor at that age...! Occassionally...

i agree, mside -- you can join the military and die for your country, you can smoke your way to cancer, but heaven forbid you have a drink. ;)

8:38 am

Sally-catlover

Faints. Have just googled. In UK, minimum age for consumption of alcohol in private is 5 (!!!!), in public with a meal and accompanied by an adult is 16, and for buying it it is 18. 5!!

8:39 am

ChampFit

Sally, you were better off not knowing! Rehab for 5 year olds!

8:39 am

Sally-catlover

I imagine if you regularly gave 5-year olds alcohol you would be prosecuted under some other law - not fit to be a parent or something.

8:41 am

Sally-catlover

8:41 am

EvaNadine

there are several photos of me as a toddler with a can of beer in my hand. however, i was a sneaky kid, and i dont think my parents ever handed it over. ;)

8:45 am

ChampFit

I had it very young too. My dad would have some on occasion, and would let me have a sip. The horror! :)

8:46 am

EvaNadine

oh, i was just a little thief...hehe

8:46 am

ChampFit

Isn't that what kids do? Till someone smacks them?

8:47 am

EvaNadine

i think my parents just hoped i drank enough to "fall asleep"
lol

8:48 am

Sally-catlover

I've heard of parents putting gin? brandy? on a baby's dummy

8:48 am

EvaNadine

ive heard of that too, sally. especially when they are teething.

8:49 am

ChampFit

OH! Just noticed I'm past halfway! How'd that happen? BBL...poof!

8:52 am

car.eeyore

Ugh...so many E's!!!!

8:53 am

Nancy Boy

ooh, underage drinking? step aside, I am an authority on the subject ;)

8:53 am

Sally-catlover

Not really that many from each tile. (struggling with the Ps atm)

8:53 am

Sally-catlover

We have discovered you have to be over 5, NB, much to my shock.

8:54 am

Sally-catlover

But you can't buy it for yourself at that age :-)

8:54 am

EvaNadine

::opens arms wide and looks at NB, expectantly::

8:55 am

NonoNanette

hi NB

8:55 am

Nancy Boy

(((Eva))) good morning, gorgeous!

8:55 am

EvaNadine

not so sure about the gorgeous part, im afraid.
thanks to a smashing rainstorm outside, i highly resemble a drowned rat!

8:55 am

Nancy Boy

Mind you - the drinking age in the USA is much too high, I feel. I refuse to go there for another year!

8:56 am

Nancy Boy

and hello, Nono - and everyone else :)

8:56 am

Sally-catlover

lol, NB.

8:56 am

Sally-catlover

Not long till your trip now.

8:57 am

NonoNanette

the legal drinking age is a much debated issue here

8:57 am

Sally-catlover

Legal age in S Korea is 19.

8:57 am

car.eeyore

Hi!

8:58 am

Nancy Boy

Eight days :S although actually, you can drink at 18 there, as long as you're turning 19 that year.

8:58 am

NonoNanette

many feel, as do I and I see Eva as well, that if a young person can serve and die for thier country at the age of 18
then they should have the right to have a drink

8:59 am

Sally-catlover

Have been meaning to ask you (wasn't here when you announced the trip), what has prompted you to go, and are you going with any family? (Don't say if it's private)

9:00 am

Judi

Legal - schmeagle. *pops cork* Who wants bubbly?

9:00 am

EvaNadine

yes, thats my thought, nono.
also, i feel that anything held SO taboo is just going to make people want it more. if the access were a little more relaxed, kids wouldnt care so much...

9:01 am

msideb01

the problem with that argument Nono is that it's old and overused... I don't disagree, but I think the more pressing issue is that of drunk driving. Kids aren't exposed to alcohol before then begin driving, and when they finally can (either legally or otherwise) the combiniation is deadly

9:01 am

Judi

And, good morning, as well.

9:01 am

car.eeyore

9:02 am

car.eeyore

OK... I just need 1 more E word...from the top row...

9:02 am

NonoNanette

I agree with that as well Eva, I do believe that the more relaxed laws of Europe and other places works very well. Young people are inclined to show more moderation it isn't taboo

9:02 am

Judi

I always laugh when people say marijuana is a "gateway drug". Alcohol is the biggest gateway drug EVER.

9:03 am

Nancy Boy

it's okay - I've wanted to go and see my extended family ever since I found out that my parents told them all I was dead, so for my birthday, my friends bought me a trip there! So going alone, and we'll see what happens...

9:03 am

NonoNanette

the sword ep4 Car

9:03 am

car.eeyore

I do have that one...

9:04 am

NonoNanette

maybe ep4/6?

9:04 am

car.eeyore

That was it! TY!

9:04 am

NonoNanette

yw

9:04 am

Sally-catlover

Oh that's wonderful NB! I so hope it goes well for you. Will you just turn up and say, hey I'm alive? (hope none of them have weak hearts or you might be responsible for a lot of fatalities!)

9:06 am

Nancy Boy

As yet, I'm not sure :) I'm hoping the right way to act will just come to me when I get there! thanks for the good wishes; I might need some luck, with my family ;)

9:06 am

Nancy Boy

I might be being dense, Judi - what's a gateway drug?

9:07 am

Sally-catlover

Gateway to hard drugs

9:07 am

car.eeyore

I wish you a safe and peaceful trip NB!

9:08 am

Judi

One of our silly Yank expressions, NB. It means a drug that (supposedly) makes you want to try stronger drugs.

9:08 am

Nancy Boy

Well thank you, Car! :)

9:09 am

Nancy Boy

oooh, that makes more sense, Judi. I was thinking in terms of mushrooms - the gateway to the miiiind - but thought that was probably not what you meant...

9:09 am

msideb01

the theory is that people who do marijuana will eventually do something like cocaine, then maybe meth, etc., each step progressively more detrimental

9:10 am

Sally-catlover

It's silly really, because by that analogy people who drink wine with their dinner will end up as alcoholics in the gutter ((carefully brushes mud off clothes*)

9:10 am

Judi

For some addictive personalities, that may well be true. However, for most people, I don't think marijuana leads to crack houses and shooting galleries.

9:10 am

car.eeyore

BBL...must go play fishing game on the Wii!

9:11 am

Nancy Boy

I agree - I won't lie; I've tried my fair share of drugs. And I've come out of it all with an addiction to nothing stronger than nicotine.

9:12 am

herinfernallady

hello

9:12 am

NonoNanette

hello Herin

9:12 am

herinfernallady

waves hello

9:13 am

msideb01

certainly not, and I have too, NB... but the original stimulus for marijuana to be made illegal was the whole "reefer madness" craze in the 20s when the white upper class came onto the notion that black men would do marijuana and rape white women... that led to fear, which led to widespread support for its outlawing, and without really any medical reasoning, the rest is history

9:13 am

Judi

I tried a few things in my much younger days. But, I would never dream of even touching meth, crack, LSD, etc.

9:14 am

Judi

LOL. "Reefer Madness" was hilarious. MJ makes you mellow and hungry and totally unmotivated to commit any crimes.

9:15 am

Nancy Boy

Oh, I think I've heard something like that before, Mside - lots of theories as to why it was made illegal. Some crazier than others ;)

9:16 am

herinfernallady

Maybe the women were robbed for munchy money (sorry I should SO not be joking aobut that)

9:16 am

Nancy Boy

I was similar, Judi. My rule was nothing that had to be injected, 'cause I'm squeamish about needles. LSD was terrifying and I would NEVER do it again.

9:17 am

Judi

I work at a PD station. We get bulletins all the time about new and fashionable drugs. Now dealers are making hard candy laced with marijuana.

9:17 am

herinfernallady

Nancy was that the Headhog experience?

9:19 am

Judi

lol. There was even a factory in some southern state that was making confections like, "Pot Tarts".

9:20 am

msideb01

mmmm... those sound delicious. pop one in the toaster for breakfast and have a nice day

9:20 am

herinfernallady

I just need real pop tarts. Got to love and embrace my ADHD tendancies

9:21 am

Judi

*plans to secretly shop online for "special lollipops" tonight*

9:21 am

Nancy Boy

Oh no, the hedgehog experience was magic mushrooms, and they were just lovely. LSD I tripped out very badly - the sky was bright purple and I was seeing dead bodies everywhere. I thought it was the apocalypse!

9:21 am

Judi

Bummer, NB.

9:22 am

msideb01

yeah, that sounds like a bad trip... I'd definitely try shrooms though. would you recommend it, NB?

9:23 am

sandyloo

the problem with the weed is that while it may not lead to other drugs it is almost always the

9:23 am

herinfernallady

NB yuo were lucky with the shrooms I had spiders

9:23 am

herinfernallady

BIG ones

9:23 am

sandyloo

gateway drug

9:24 am

sandyloo

I always press the wrong thing

9:24 am

Sally-catlover

Well I have pretty sparkly things without the aid of LSD, so will go before the talk gets really illegal :-)

9:25 am

sandyloo

discussion is the gateway to knowledge

9:25 am

Judi

I wasn't aware one could get high from spiders? I'd have to rank that one down there with toad licking.

9:25 am

sandyloo

wine will do me

9:25 am

Nancy Boy

at risk of causing controversy, Mside, being on shrooms was one of the most joyful times I can remember. The atmosphere would have helped too - I was at a festival, so people and music everywhere - but it was just incredible.

9:25 am

sandyloo

licking a toad is not my thing

9:27 am

Nancy Boy

(so that's a yes, I guess ;))

9:28 am

Judi

Toads = unsanitary.

9:28 am

msideb01

haha, interesting... controversy or not, I don't mind satisfying my curiosity by asking about it. sounds like a lot of peace love and music to me

9:29 am

sandyloo

we have lots of frogs hopping around here tonite (sandy stares at a frog)

9:30 am

sandyloo

and tomorrow we will have some mushrooms on the paddock.....

9:30 am

Judi

Ew ew ew. I think you have to stick to the cain toads to get the amphibian high.

9:30 am

Nancy Boy

well that was it exactly, Mside...people dancing, flowers blossoming, red sunsets, that sort of thing ;)

9:31 am

sandyloo

those cane toads are really revolting

9:31 am

Jellen

Hello, all!

9:31 am

Judi

Sorry. I guess I must have been thinking of the co-caine toad. (nyuk nyuk nyuk)

9:31 am

NonoNanette

Hi (((Jellen)))))

9:32 am

Judi

Jellen! [[[[[[HUGS]]]]]. And sincere condolences as well, dear.

9:32 am

sandyloo

hi jellen, ((hugs))

9:32 am

herinfernallady

HI Jellen. Sandy you guys have the cane toads?

9:33 am

Nancy Boy

I'd love to know exactly what circumstances led to the first person figuring out that you could get high from licking a toad.

9:33 am

Jellen

Thank you Judi

9:33 am

sandyloo

we don't herin, they occasionally have been seen in our norwest and there is a society who is putting things in order so that they can keep the spread to our state under control

9:34 am

Judi

Off to the PB for all those who referred to the ca4 toad.

9:35 am

sandyloo

I think if a bouny of 20 cents even was put on their heads, kids would go around catching and cashing in - it would save the government loads in the long run

9:35 am

msideb01

Maybe they were high on marijuana and got the munchies and the only thing in sight was a toad? so marijuana actually would be a gateway drug... a gateway to TOADS!

9:35 am

sandyloo

Hey, I didn't have that one and I only have 29 left

9:36 am

sandyloo

Lets face it , it was the bounty on the Tassie Tiger that caused it to become extinct

9:36 am

Nancy Boy

LOL!! I'm sure ;)

9:36 am

Judi

LOL, msideb! I think what really happened was, some guy saw his dog get a little loopy after trying to chomp a ca4 toad. Thought it might work for him as well. That, or it was a carefully controlled laboratory experiment. (Yeah. Right.)

9:37 am

Nancy Boy

just seems like it would be one of those dubious stories that a weird friend tells you that starts with, "well, I was crawling along and licking the pavement, when..."

9:38 am

Mr Bob

Good morning all

9:38 am

Nancy Boy

though on that note, I'm off to work. don't smoke, lick, eat or snort anything without me...

9:38 am

sandyloo

Jellen, Ihope this incredibly silly conversation is cheering you up

9:38 am

Judi

Seeya, NB. Don't work too hard.

9:38 am

hi Bob

msideb01

not until after work at least, NB =D

9:38 am

Judi

Hiya, Mr. Bob.

9:38 am

herinfernallady

Sandy they recomend that if one sees a cane toad one puts it in a big tub thing then takes it too a vet ag dep to make sure it isn't a native toad

9:38 am

herinfernallady

Later NB

9:39 am

No c*** toads have made it to Perth yet

I think bugsaw and jillibus have extra room at the casino they are going to stay at... Little Creek is close to our home and fairly affordable. OR, we have an air mattress...

1:22 pm

fresh baked conversation is much better than stale

1:22 pm

1:22 pm

Riverdance

thanks ruby

1:22 pm

stidmama

(((YAY keith)))

1:23 pm

stidmama

riemann, IF you were going to be here soon enough, you could have some cookies, but as Mother just said "they're not keepers" -- too delectable to sit around!

1:23 pm

stidmama

I hope peri's okay...

1:23 pm

rubyfoo

his wounds look better to me, but one of them will have to be cut so it will heal properly. spirits are low, however

1:26 pm

Soodle

How is his mood, Ruby?

1:26 pm

rubyfoo

really glum but at least he's speaking to me again

1:26 pm

stidmama

yes, important to get the skin and all to knit properly. poor fellow. too bad he can't go fishing or something fun to take his mind off it.

1:26 pm

stidmama

Hi, m9

1:59 pm

m9f9l

I would think that in some ways being alone is a relief?? at least for a bit of a breather?

1:59 pm

m9f9l

Have you had enough quiet around to pray?

1:59 pm

Good Enough

these days will be tough, especially as things quiet down. but of course you always have us as a distraction, day or night

2:00 pm

Jellen

A bit of a relief, but too quiet...

2:00 pm

periwinkle

well it is a gray, rainy depressing day here. but I just had some of Ben and Jerry's peach cobbler ice cream and I feel much beter.

2:00 pm

m9f9l

There are times when my prayers just consist of my mentally sitting on Heavenly Father's lap!!!

good Enough, I like the saying at the bottom of your profile. so true

2:02 pm

m9f9l

I guess I'm a visual kind of gal. When I know that I'm just not feeling the Spirit enough to even be able to approach Heavenly Father in prayer..I go through a kind of mental visual preparation.lol

2:02 pm

2:04 pm

Good Enough

thanks Peri. last year when my mom was sick i felt so fragile and would sometimes wonder why people would act callous or whetever. then i would realize they didn't know i was in a fragile state. i wondered how many times have i been rough with peoples feelings when i didn't know that they were dealing with stuff. just a good reminder bc you never know.

My mom died 6 days after I turned 20 and I was in a pretty intense program at college.. My Dad called me that morning and told me she had died in the night... I started crying and he said 'well now...don't be upset..." And I guess I just felt from my upbringing that I had to suck it up. Went to class that morning and didn't even tell my profs..

2:07 pm

jmcnrick

"don't be upset " -- what a stupid remark! the poor man! and poor you

2:07 pm

m9f9l

yeah

2:07 pm

Good Enough

oh my m! that's awful. but everyone deals differently

2:09 pm

dixmak

2:09 pm

jmcnrick

2:10 pm

2:10 pm

Kazzer99

i have been thinking of you and Tim, Jellen - like jacq I dont pray but I will alays send good things your way

2:10 pm

m9f9l

So I figured it may be ok to go talk to my profs and that maybe my mom's dying made it ok for me to have been having a bit of trouble.

2:10 pm

jmcnrick

i was completely flakey the year my husband died but could let myself be because i had a 8 year old son

2:10 pm

m9f9l

When my Dad died...he died about a week BEFORE my birthday.

2:11 pm

jmcnrick

The Drama Queens

The Drama Queens are back in town,
Mascara teardrops rolling down
Their florid cheeks past scarlet lips.
Spilling forth, wild spurts and snips.
Out of control, emotional cries.
Heat of the moment, twisting lies.

She hugs their broken, pent up sobs
About their boyfriends, kids and jobs.
Mrs. Fixit fixed it again
And stemmed the flood of blackened rain.
Off they trip, Oh! So satisfied.
Come again on tomorrow's tide.

4:16 pm

westford

me too lol

4:17 pm

Minveryork

My brother had dogs at his wedding.Maybe about 10 dogs there including mine. Dogs loved all the scraps.

I still don't know why Champ wrote Chello!

7:26 pm

ChampFit

Being silly...for Hello!

7:27 pm

cbr1965

But iocane comes from Australia, as everyone knows, and Australia is entirely peopled with criminals, and criminals are used to having people not trust them, as you are not trusted by me, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you.

7:27 pm

stidmama

is the first SH 7 fishy?

7:27 pm

Okay, someone tell this lurker what "fishy" means? And I can do the whole movie verbatim so I could be any of them.

"fish" are easy words, like a tuna sandwich.

7:29 pm

Good Enough

remember having push ups as a kid, they are made of orange sh7

7:29 pm

ChampFit

OK, well it's fishy when you get it. apparently much more popular in Britain. It's a cold treat,

7:29 pm

Minski

Hello everyone. I need a little parenting advice.....

7:41 pm

stidmama

have that one, thanks Champ.

7:41 pm

stidmama

need the one after the male zygote carrier thingy...

7:41 pm

stidmama

hey Minski

7:41 pm

stidmama

advice is free... and may be worth what you pay for it.

7:42 pm

Good Enough

oooh sitting back to listen to minski...

7:42 pm

stidmama

but go ahead...

7:42 pm

stidgmere

parenty advice--I'm not really in that busness any more as my children are grown ups.

7:42 pm

stidmama

hello Mother!

7:43 pm

ChampFit

But that's good! I have some, still breathing, so we must have SOME clue, right?

7:43 pm

stidmama

you can give grandparent advice...

7:43 pm

Minski

My 5 1/2 year old daughter just wet her bed not 5 minutes after I left the room after doing bedtime because she didn't think I spent enough time with her during our ni-ni process. While we were changing the sheets we told her we were angry with her and that we would let her know what her punishment is in the morning. She replied that we wouldn't remember in the morning so it doesn't matter.

7:43 pm

Minski

So what should the punishment be?

7:44 pm

stidmama

she may be telling the truth minski

7:44 pm

stidmama

could she have a UTI? that can cause previously continent children to have trouble.

7:44 pm

featherbee

she's right about that, the consequence usually needs to be right away

7:44 pm

stidgmere

So did you remember?

7:44 pm

ChampFit

I'd dang sure remember, and maybe she should be the one to change the bed. And learn how to wash the sheets.

7:44 pm

stidmama

another thought could be to let her sleep on a wet bed...

7:45 pm

Minski

No she's perfectly healthy. She was crying when I left the room because she didn't want me to leave.

7:45 pm

stidmama

put a towel under the sheet and tell her you'll deal with it in the morning.

7:45 pm

ChampFit

Like it!

7:45 pm

Minski

I like that one. I wish I'd thought of it. I used to do that myself when I wet the bed.

7:45 pm

stidmama

If she's healthy and otherwise doesn't have memory problems, I would let her take the natural consequences. *shrug*

7:46 pm

featherbee

i would say let it go this time, but have a talk with her, and tell her if it happens on purpose again, she'll need to either sleep in wet sheets, or with no sheets and just a blanket. and/or she'll need to strip the bed. oh, had a thought! the punishment tomorrow is that she needs to do the laundry of the sheets.

7:46 pm

ChampFit

But you're feeling guilty...why?

7:46 pm

Minski

I was thinking no sweets or dessert for the weekend but we are going to a family reunion this weekend and it will be impossible to follow up on that.

7:46 pm

Minski

No. I'm pissed. I'm furious. This is a power struggle.

7:46 pm

stidmama

sweets and dessert are unrelated to the action -- the consequence is best when it's directly related.

7:47 pm

Minski

I wouldn't sleep with her so she wet the bed.

7:47 pm

stidmama

rofl... you're LITERALLY pissed... *grin*

7:47 pm

featherbee

LOL stid!

7:47 pm

Minski

lol stid

7:48 pm

featherbee

make her be the one to wash the sheets tomorrow, put them in the dryer, and she needs to help you remake the bed with those sheets tomorrow. that will drive it home.

7:48 pm

stidmama

but tomorrow Minski, is a new day -- today's misbehavior should be left in the past... I think. -- unless you want her to help with the laundry, which is a great suggestion.

7:49 pm

stidgmere

Washing sheets is a logical consequence, even if you have already washed the ones that were soiled.

7:49 pm

stidmama

(((Minski))) in a couple months, neither you nor she will remember this incident, you know.

7:49 pm

stidmama

still need help on the next-to-last sp 6/24 please?

7:49 pm

Minski

you're right about the sheets. she will do her own laundry in the morning and help me fold hte sheets.

7:49 pm

stidmama

before the orb...

7:50 pm

stidmama

that's about the right amount of work for a 5-year old, imho

7:50 pm

ChampFit

Minski, you get to win...you're the momma. It'll be ok.

7:50 pm

Good Enough

it's a control issue. don't make a big deal about the punishment (help with laundry is great) and tomorrow night do not give in. ni-ni process and go!

7:51 pm

Good Enough

i mean go as in leave not go as in...go!

7:51 pm

stidmama

yes. what good said. it's like when she was very little and you were first putting her to sleep alone in the crib. Be consistent. Be kind, but firm. DON'T give in.

7:51 pm

Minski

thanks guys. back tot he grid. I have 178 words left to find.

7:51 pm

stidmama

go Minski go!

7:56 pm

stidmama

7:58 pm

stidmama

so for now, we just unplug it to reset the system between loads. and we can't leave it unattended.

7:59 pm

stidmama

oh! and I am SO EXCITED about opening night today... took Pooh Bah and Nanki-Poo to call; and we were so on time we were EARLY! LOL

After taking several cat na 4/5 today, I took a good bi 4/6 out of this grid. Did not like the way it tasted so I quit at 171 words.Now he4/5 is a story of clues. It ir4/4 me when celebrities think that they can get away with anything.Take Mel Gibson for example. He is the biggest jerk I've ever se4/4. He is even worse than Charlie Sh4/5. Mel Gibson has some ne5/16! Mel Gibson has been acting a little ee 5/10 lately. In fact he has been acting ee6/18 now than did a few years ago. He er4/4 every time he leaves a nasty message for Oksana. He does not treat her with one ounce of resp4/6t.Pe7/40 Gibson needs some therapy. Maybe after therapy Mel Gibson will be able to make pe5/14 with Oksana. However, Oksana is not so pr 4/6 and proper herself. I think she egged him on so she could sell him down the ri5/16. I used to like Gibson. Now I think he is a he4/5.The me4/5 sight of him makes me want to he4/5. His voice gets on my ne6/27 now. To me, he is just a waste of sp 5/14. Someone needs to grab him by the na4/5 of his neck & just shake some sense into him. Think he should be booted out of this hemisp6/24 & up into sp 5/14. I think that he should reti4/4 and pe4/6anently become a he6/24 because his career is over.His re4/5s will drop him. His movie career is over and he certainly won't be getting any jobs doing pr 5/14 ti4/5 TV. He won't be getting any jobs based on me 5/12. I am sure that he has lost all his friends in his in5/10 circle.I'm sure he'll no longer re 4/5 the benefits of being a celebrity.I am sure pe 5/14 just le 4/4 at him when they see him.There's no way he can re 7/36 his image. Now I am off to watch a Re4/4e Witherspoon movie now. Watching a movie at this hour might make me sl 8/45 than I already am so I will be a sl7/32 and go to sl 5/12 after movie.Bye
