zoozzoom

wondering if trif has the dame edna glasses too..lol

5:30 am

Trifioso

actually, yes, but not as reading glasses -- sunglasses

5:30 am

dizgrannie

didn't know our Dame Edna was so popular in other countries...LOL

5:30 am

sandyloo

just watching barry humphries on tv as the judge on I'd do anything - I know its old but its great

5:31 am

zoozzoom

I think Dame edna is a hoot

5:31 am

sandyloo

I have seen her on stage and barry went to my bosses house for dinner once (I didn't go tho)

5:31 am

DTins

TY Dizgrannie found at last!!

5:31 am

dizgrannie

s/he's great in my books

5:32 am

sandyloo

boss's

5:32 am

Trifioso

LOVE her! My mom bought me and the wasband tickets to go see her a couple of years ago, and we had the BEST time! Dame Edna asked who in the house had "paid her the ultimate compliment" and hired a babysitter. So we raised our hands, and she interviewed us in front of everyone, and then-- she brought a phone on stage and CALLED MY MOM, who was sititng, and interviewed her, via phone, in front of everyone!

5:32 am

sandyloo

I used to work for a very gay doctor

5:32 am

sandyloo

WOW trif

5:32 am

dizgrannie

great DTins, I hope I didn't stuff up too much...really bad a cluing...LOL

5:33 am

zoozzoom

Wow that is great Trif...what a night to remember.

5:33 am

Trifioso

And THEN, when she came out to take her bow, she handed us a bag of take out from the restaurant next door, and told us to take it home for my mom! We were in absolute GALES of laughter....she had her Ednanettes take a photo when she was on the phone with my mom, and we have it, and the program, framed on my mom's well

5:33 am

Trifioso

wall, even

5:33 am

dizgrannie

WOW Trif

5:33 am

Trifioso

I know, right? it was SO FUNNY

5:35 am

zoozzoom

I think that is awesome..never had anything like that happen to me yet...still you never know.

5:35 am

Trifioso

trust me, if you went to see Dame Edna on stage, anything could -- and would -- happen!

5:36 am

zoozzoom

LOL..i can believe it..she is very good interacting with the crowd.

5:36 am

sandyloo

dame edna is very funny no doubt , I love her

5:37 am

sandyloo

that is so awesome trif

5:37 am

zoozzoom

it amazes me how she looks like a million dollars in one character then disgusting in an other..LOL

5:38 am

zoozzoom

with all that spittle...eeew

5:38 am

dizgrannie

I hate Barry in his Le Patterson mode

5:38 am

sandyloo

when he is dame edna, I believe he IS dame edna

5:38 am

dizgrannie

oops Le =Les

5:38 am

sandyloo

i am not so keen on Les either gran

5:39 am

Trifioso

oh, sorry -- yes, I agree. sorry, drifted off there for a second, nostalgia for what once was...waste of time, moment over, sorry.

5:39 am

sandyloo

that was a great story trif

5:39 am

dizgrannie

sandy, give me Dame Edna any day

5:39 am

zoozzoom

Wonder who it is based on..lol

5:40 am

Trifioso

it's the way humphries gets away with saying ANYTHING as Dame Edna that I find so amazing, and hilarious. Remember when he attended the Queen's birthday jubilee, and then, as she was leaving, she hollered "next year at my place!" at the Queen. Gads, who else could DO that? I rolled!

5:40 am

zoozzoom

oh yes..LOL...that was sooo funny..hahaha

5:41 am

dizgrannie

zooz, s/he could be based on anyone you like, as long as you like gladiolis and come from Moonee Ponds..LOL

5:41 am

Trifioso

wahoo - herin is in the grid today! hope she notices

5:42 am

zoozzoom

She said something to prince charles as well once..but cannot remember what it was...i do remember everyone roaring with laughter..including charles himself..lol

5:42 am

zoozzoom

LOL..i read that in a dame edna voice then Grannie..lol

5:43 am

zoozzoom

if that made sense?

5:43 am

Trifioso

and have a questionable son like Kenny!

5:43 am

dizgrannie

LOL Zooz

5:43 am

sandyloo

the queen has a great sense of humour I bet she loved it

5:44 am

dizgrannie

Trif, what about the bridesmaid???

5:44 am

dizgrannie

gawd help me, whats her name????

5:44 am

Trifioso

yes, our dear Madge....I am trying to remember if she was there

5:44 am

sandyloo

not that keen on the bridesmaid either , but love the repartee of dame edna

5:44 am

zoozzoom

oh madge..LOL

5:45 am

Trifioso

she had an older lady sitting on the couch with her, but for some reason I am thinking it was not the usual lady, but another one

5:45 am

zoozzoom

dame was soo cruel to Madge..lol

5:45 am

sandyloo

maybe the real madge is dead

5:45 am

dizgrannie

thanx Trif....sad really, a Canadian had to tell an Aussie about our 'icon' lol

5:46 am

Trifioso

yes, well, remember, madge took that all the way to the bank! I often wondered what would happen if it turned out that Madge was Mrs. Humphries in real life -- could you imagine!

5:46 am

Trifioso

I'm American, grannie, but thanks anyway.

5:46 am

zoozzoom

hahahahahaha..what a thought Trif

5:47 am

dizgrannie

oopsie, so sorry Trif....forgive me puleeze...LOL

5:47 am

sandyloo

Interesting from an aussie point of view - a Canadian is not an american?

5:47 am

Trifioso

no offense taken at all grannie! canadians are lovely people, if my experience is any indication

5:48 am

dizgrannie

isn't Canada part of America, or is it still British/French...need an update...

5:48 am

Trifioso

oooh, careful there sandy! you might get bacon thrown at you for even suggesting it! They might be North Americans, but I am quite sure they are proud not to be Americans.

5:48 am

Trifioso

NO,, Canada is it's own country

5:49 am

zoozzoom

i feel the same way Trif..i don`t care where anyone comes from..there are nice & bad people from all walks of life.

5:49 am

dizgrannie

oopsie, Sandy, think we better be quiet...LOL

5:49 am

Trifioso

it's how I felt about members of the traveling community in Ireland, tho I found very little support amongst Mr. Hate's people for that belief

5:49 am

zoozzoom

LOL

5:51 am

zoozzoom

shame really..i did see a programme about the traveling communities...and they seem to be very nice people...just chose to live a little different to the majority of people.

5:51 am

Trifioso

zooz, forgive me if I over step, but may I ask a personal question?

5:51 am

dizgrannie

sorry guys/gals, but I always thought Canada and Alaska were part of America, but used different rules etc.

5:52 am

sandyloo

me too

5:52 am

zoozzoom

you can ask what you like Trif?

5:52 am

Trifioso

I think I remember you saying you were divorced, is that correct?

5:53 am

zoozzoom

you are correct Trif

5:53 am

sandyloo

by travelling communities, do you mean gypsies?

5:53 am

dizgrannie

Hey Sandy, looks like we need to read up on our American/Canadian counterparts...LOL

5:53 am

zoozzoom

yes Sandy

5:54 am

sandyloo

We do gran

5:54 am

Trifioso

do you mind if I ask how long? I am worried that if I am on my own for too long, I may find it impossible to start thinking about sharing my life again. I may get so set in my ways that making room for someone else becomes too much to think about. Has that been your experience? AGain, if this is too prying, you can plead the Fifth, even if you are British and all....

5:55 am

sandyloo

we have no gypsies in Aus

5:55 am

Trifioso

we have gyppers in America now. And yes, some of them are salt of the earth people, but some, like in Ireland, are thieves and scammers, and ruin it for everyone

5:56 am

dizgrannie

'we have no gypsies in Aus'...but we have interim travellers....

5:56 am

sandyloo

and the 'grey nomads'

5:57 am

Trifioso

what is a grey nomad? OAP in winnebagos or sommat?

5:57 am

sandyloo

Let's face it Gran, Aus is perfect, I love it

5:57 am

daykat

Hi all

5:57 am

sandyloo

when you get older in Aus, everyone tries to do a trip around Aus in a caravan

5:57 am

sandyloo

hi day

5:58 am

Trifioso

sandy, secondo has made it perfectly clear that should I die in a bus accident, she is off to live with her auntie and uncle in perth, and thank you very much! lol

5:58 am

daykat

hey Sandy:) dizgrannie:) Trifioso

5:58 am

zoozzoom

You have hit the nail on the head there Trif...i was on my own for a long time (it seemed so to me) then met a beautiful lady blah blah blah..did not work out...now been on my own for a short while...but am already getting used to being on my own again..not sure if i am used to it yet though...as for the depression i am suffering at the mo...but will leave it at that..not too keen on saying too much on the internet, if you know what i mean..as once on internet..you can never erase it..lol

5:59 am

sandyloo

Day I have been reading about Austalorps on the net, everyone says they make great chooks

5:59 am

Trifioso

thank you zooz. I don't want to borrow an unnecessary worry, as I have enough, but I guess an awareness of that would be good to hold

5:59 am

sandyloo

I am thinking that you may not want to part with any

5:59 am

daykat

they do Sandy. There are some for sale in York in todays Quokka - pullets for $70!!!! EXXY!!

6:00 am

Trifioso

also, my sister and her family have recently moved in with my mom, who is having some memory issues, and they are finding the adjustment very hard. Mom has been independent for 40+ years, and is not so willing to make room for other ways of doing things.

6:00 am

daykat

Yes we will Sandy but do you want them quickly?

6:00 am

sandyloo

I would love to get some , even two would do

6:00 am

Trifioso

Whoa, - wait - $70 for HOW many chooks? They are $3 here, when newly hatched

6:01 am

zoozzoom

I understand you Trif..but remember we are all different, and reactin different ways..whats going on with me..is not what might happen to another person, if that makes sense..lol

6:01 am

daykat

or can you wait a little until they grow up a bit and we can be sure they are females

6:01 am

sandyloo

no day, whenever it suits you, i still would like to talk to you on the phone, I can give you my number or you can email me yours whatever you like

6:01 am

daykat

each trio - these ar especial pure bred chooks - but WAY too expensive for my mind

6:01 am

Trifioso

zooz, I am so in love with you today...thank you for your openness

6:01 am

sandyloo

special chooks trif

6:02 am

Trifioso

$70 each blows my mind....what, do they feed and clean themselves? lay golden eggs?

6:02 am

daykat

golden eggs I think Trif

6:02 am

zoozzoom

the golden snitch...LOL

6:02 am

sandyloo

on the site i went on, they were talking in the hundreds

6:02 am

zoozzoom

sorry thats from harry potter if no one knows.

6:02 am

daykat

its like paying 100's for a pure bred dog when you can get a bitzer for free!!

6:03 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Daykat :-)

6:03 am

Trifioso

that is unreal. Guess I know what my next million dollar idea is....discount chicken breeding in Oz

6:03 am

daykat

chook people are funny folk (and yes I knwo what a golden snitch is zooz)

6:03 am

sandyloo

lol trif, I think these people were chook devotees

6:04 am

Trifioso

LOL at the idea of a snitch popping out of chicken and then zooming around....

6:04 am

sandyloo

Idefinitely would be unhappy with roosters

6:04 am

Trifioso

I miss my chickens....glad I only paid $1.25 each, as the coyotes ate them for free

6:04 am

daykat

you can always tell a chook devotee by the funny way they walk

6:04 am

zoozzoom

lol

6:05 am

Trifioso

"those chickens are ORGANIZED"

6:05 am

sandyloo

6:05 am

sandyloo

bye the way they talk tho

6:06 am

sandyloo

the foxes got a lot of ours til husband built 'fort knox' - a chook yard with a roof and a floor

6:06 am

daykat

6:07 am

Trifioso

sandyloo

6:16 am

sandyloo

6:17 am

zoozzoom

it is a dialect of the word.

6:17 am

daykat

"an archaic or dialect word"

9:46 am

hootowl

9:46 am

Judi

Not that I'm very fond of Dick Cheney, but in his defense - the dude was born with a congenital heart defect.

9:46 am

gortmold

then there's the ko that's the eye pencil made of black stuff

9:47 am

jmcnrick

i may play all day tomorrow have a big tense meeting about the potential demise of an organization of which i am a board member

9:47 am

jmcnrick

well i am never happy for anyone to have heart problems

9:47 am

gortmold

then there's the ku that rhymes with pop cult***

9:47 am

rururocks

methinks a congenital brain defect as well

9:47 am

jmcnrick

but he truly lives up to his name

9:48 am

Well, if it's any consolation, he is unemployed now.

Judi

Gortmold - love your display of Chinglish.

jmcnrick

ty gort

9:51 am

hootowl

but he's rich! I don't work either and have to live on $1018 per month that hasn't changed for 3 years! Isn't it wonderful that cost-of-living raises do not include food!

9:51 am

gortmold

9:51 am

gortmold

9:52 am

Judi

LOL. OMG, there's a whole website for it: www.chinglish.com. Enjoy. It's hilarious!

9:52 am

9:54 am

gortmold

there's an la6 that's an army loo without the t

9:55 am

Judi

Yes, I love them both. Last year, my SIL sent us a postcard and a gift from Japan (her son lives there). Both the postcard and the manufacturer info with the vase had some wonky chinglish on them. It was like finding the golden ticket in the Wonka bar.

9:56 am

gortmold

yes, chinglish discoveries are an unexpected pleasure, arent they

9:56 am

hootowl

44 - time for list

9:57 am

Judi

Honestly, my husband and I enjoyed the chinglish more than the card and gift. *smirk*

9:57 am

gortmold

do u remember what it said, judi?

9:58 am

gortmold

one of my favourites was a gift towel that said, "to you with simple mind" (translation: just for you?)

9:58 am

Judi

Not offhand. It was a a pic of the monkies in the mountains. I'll have to dig it up when I get home.

10:02 am

gortmold

it's become part of my family culture; gift tags at our house now read, "here's your present, numbskull"

10:02 am

Judi

I'm trying to convince my husband we need to walk around China Town in Philadelphia and take pictures of all of the wacked out menus and signs. He is not so enthused.

10:02 am

gortmold

why is he unenthused?

10:02 am

Judi

I recently had a chinglis Babble icon posted. It said "Be Aware of Invisibility". Always good advice.

10:03 am

gortmold

lol, yes, you never know (literally) when invisibility might strike

10:03 am

Judi

Gort - he thinks China Town is very dirty and we might "catch" something. I say it's worth the risk.

10:04 am

Judi

The pursuit of humor is a noble cause.

10:04 am

gortmold

tell him laughter raises your immunity (not true, but sounds like it could be)

10:04 am

gortmold

amen sister judi

10:05 am

Judi

Okay, now I have to go dig up some engrish/chinglish. BRB.

11:53 am

carleekat

TAKE the cake jmc...pls

11:54 am

jmcnrick

so i just got a resume from a college senior that has for multiple lines under achievements that he was an eagle scout and then its definition and the process by which ones becomes and eagle scout

11:55 am

jmcnrick

i mean i think mentioning eagle scout is fine when you are young and have no resume

11:55 am

carleekat

well..eagle scout should pretty much say it all

11:55 am

jmcnrick

but 9 lines?

11:55 am

jmcnrick

i'd think so too car

11:55 am

carleekat

well..my 14 year old daughter got canada cord....( equiv to eagle scout at that level)

11:56 am

carleekat

chief commisioners is the one for 18 year olds....canada cord for 15 year olds...

11:56 am

rururocks

us 5 anyone?

11:56 am

jmcnrick

good for her

11:57 am

wht

us5 is very ordinary

11:57 am

hootowl

same ol same ol ru

11:57 am

carleekat

no...what i mean is...okay... would eb more impressive if he got a sscholarship from scouting

11:57 am

jmcnrick

ty ty

11:57 am

carleekat

eagle scout is rather us5 for those in the organization

11:58 am

carleekat

( curious tho..what DID he write)

11:58 am

jmcnrick

if they last that long

11:59 am

hootowl

to become an eagle you have to do a thing kinda like habitat. very impressive but I think he's making too much of it

11:59 am

carleekat

that what i mean jmc... if u are there to that age it is rather..us5

11:59 am

hootowl

unless it breaks down to something really useful and impressive

12:00 pm

hootowl

right now it sounds like preening

12:00 pm

carleekat

and...my question is... why is he not also doing or wait...u may not have it there..the duke of edinburgh award....but no...u would not have that you not part of the commonwealth

12:00 pm

rururocks

not getting that us 5

12:00 pm

LucyV

where I'm from, eagle scout was a very big deal - on resume would, in theory, show an ability to plan, to work through a project, dedication, commitment, possibly research ability depending on project, etc.

12:00 pm

LucyV

if he's 18 or 19, then it matters more. if he's 35, then it's creepy :)

12:00 pm

jmcnrick

what he did was not all that impressive -- he collected cell phones and chargers and got them refitted to be given to domestic violence victims which is a fairly common

12:01 pm

carleekat

rur..u normally have dinner at 5 pm....that is the us5 time... to have at 9 pm would be very unus5

12:01 pm

jmcnrick

hmm my guess is that he is 21 or 2 since he is a senior in college

12:01 pm

hootowl

do it around here all the time - but not scouts

12:01 pm

rururocks

oh

12:01 pm

scribekd

ru--us5 'the us*** suspects'

12:01 pm

rururocks

jeezuz

12:01 pm

rururocks

thank you

12:01 pm

jmcnrick

actually i drop my cell phones off at the police station for that

12:02 pm

LucyV

:P that's kind of a lame ES project. I mean, a good thing, to be sure, but not exactly 'by your own hand' kind of thing

12:02 pm

LucyV

right

12:02 pm

hootowl

where does he live?

12:03 pm

rururocks

we 7?

12:03 pm

carleekat

duke of edinburgh award coinides nicely wih the scouting/ guiding program at that age group

12:03 pm

amelu0218

hotdogs

12:03 pm

hootowl

which one ru

12:04 pm

jmcnrick

Eagle Scout, Boys Scouts of America
â€¢ Achieved the highest honor in Boy Scouts
â€¢ To become an eagle scout I planned, developed, and provided leadership to others in a service project. Through this requirement blah blah blah
â€¢ The project took almost a year to complete. With the help of the Boy Scouts in my troop, I collected approximately 300 cell phones and 200 chargers.

12:04 pm

amelu0218

or tires

12:04 pm

carleekat

hotdogs?????

12:04 pm

hootowl

one is get tired other is hotdogs

12:04 pm

rururocks

12:04 pm

rururocks

got it'

12:04 pm

rururocks

got it'

12:04 pm

rururocks

thank you

12:05 pm

carleekat

oh..sorry...i thought amelu was just randomly saying..hot dogs

12:05 pm

jmcnrick

that is most of his resume entry -- i still think it is overkill

12:05 pm

carleekat

hahaha...another owlet faceplant

12:05 pm

hootowl

so do I

12:05 pm

carleekat

yeap... way overkill

12:06 pm

hootowl

might work if he told you how he did it.

12:06 pm

rubyfoo

gd evening everybody

12:06 pm

hootowl

hi ruby

12:07 pm

jmcnrick

he should have said: Eagle Scout, Highest US Boy Scout Honor. My project resulted in more than 300 cell phones and 200 charges being given to victims of domestic abuse.

12:07 pm

jmcnrick

hi ruby

12:08 pm

hootowl

yeah but he should also have said how he got others to help and how he supervised or whatever

12:08 pm

hootowl

eagle are supposed to be leaders.

12:08 pm

carleekat

or... member of the US boyscout organization for blahblhab years... achieve the honor of eagle scout...

12:09 pm

jmcnrick

not really hoot, because a guy applying for an internship does not need to sell supervisory skills. Much better he displays editing skills.

12:09 pm

hootowl

and what else has he done? johnny one-note

12:09 pm

rubyfoo

this is a very funny chog!

12:09 pm

jmcnrick

his experience as an intern with ACLU got fewer lines than the eagle scout award

12:10 pm

hootowl

just makes it more complete

12:10 pm

carleekat

hoot go to that link now...the guy who does it is talking

12:10 pm

rubyfoo

I think if you're an eagle scout you should be able to fly!

12:10 pm

jmcnrick

lol ruby

12:10 pm

hootowl

oh he did do other things!

12:10 pm

jmcnrick

of course just not much as he is just a senior in college

12:10 pm

hootowl

ok

12:10 pm

rubyfoo

a big brown bat came into the bedroom last night

12:11 pm

jmcnrick

i get these resumes all the time -- even ones from HS

12:11 pm

rubyfoo

at least it seemed big, flying around hitting the walls

12:11 pm

jmcnrick

the ones that try to make it sound like they have done something when they haven't make me lose interest

12:11 pm

jmcnrick

ack! *covers head with towel*

12:12 pm

rubyfoo

I love bats and was hoping it would land so that I could get a good look but it just flew around for 10 minutes or so

12:12 pm

jmcnrick

worst resume i ever saw was a woman coming into the workforce after 15 years of raising kids and she created a 4 page resume

12:12 pm

rubyfoo

while husband cowered in bed!

12:13 pm

jmcnrick

hell I would have run out the room ruby

12:13 pm

rubyfoo

that's what he did the last time it happened, and closed the door behind him!

12:13 pm

jmcnrick

poor thing his leg must still hurt

12:14 pm

carleekat

4 pages???? holy crap i still do well to get 1 page

12:14 pm

carleekat

and i do and have done alot...

12:14 pm

rubyfoo

4 pages of childrearing and housekeeping.....?

12:14 pm

jmcnrick

well she was horribly overcompensating. she would have been better off listing the skills. . . .

12:15 pm

jmcnrick

oh you know:chauffeur: read maps, balanced schedules, bought gasoline. . . .

12:15 pm

carleekat

pta, fundraising?

12:15 pm

rubyfoo

spanking, making cookies

12:15 pm

jmcnrick

if only car

12:15 pm

jmcnrick

lol ruby

12:16 pm

carleekat

i mean...i put down guider..cus i am responsible for 19 teenaged girls...

12:16 pm

jmcnrick

it made her look desperate rather than capable

12:16 pm

rubyfoo

so many of us worked WHILE raising children, it's hard to take all that seriously

12:16 pm

jmcnrick

and you should put it down car, just not for 8 lines

12:16 pm

carleekat

and you have to have a police record check and do safety training

12:16 pm

rubyfoo

that's a big responsibility, car!

12:17 pm

jmcnrick

i certainly raised my son while working since i was a single mom from his 8th birthday on

12:17 pm

rubyfoo

I caN't imagine controlling 3 teenage girls!

12:17 pm

carleekat

well..last year was 19 girls.....we find out in a week or so how many

12:17 pm

jmcnrick

dcseain

my sister talks incessantly at our mother, so Mom just tu5 her out sometimes

3:30 pm

m9f9l

I'm afraid I do that sometimes too. I have a couple of incessant chatterers...

3:30 pm

PinnyPoppins

i do that with the girl who sits opposite me at work

3:31 pm

m9f9l

and I really DO want to hear what he's saying...

3:31 pm

PinnyPoppins

she always wants to talk about dumb stuff and comment on her friend's facebook photos and i'm SO busy

3:31 pm

m9f9l

and puts his thoughts together ... um... thoughtfully...

3:31 pm

m9f9l

and my brain just goes flying off ahead..

3:31 pm

Jellen

Tim used to lay the phone down while his mom was talking, then pick it up a couple of minutes later and say, "oh, really?"

3:31 pm

PinnyPoppins

little does she know, we're about to ban facebook at work (hahahah)

3:31 pm

3:32 pm

PinnyPoppins

my mum only talks to me when she wants to complain

3:32 pm

PinnyPoppins

like just now, when she came to shout at me for not washing up a soup container (i left it in the sink because i had to go throw up)

3:32 pm

dcseain

mine goes off on political screeds. today it's about criticism of critics of Glenn Beck

3:32 pm

dcseain

sigh

3:33 pm

m9f9l

Can't make up my mind what he'd like...of course he would have said he didn't care...

5:48 pm

lynxxx

I have a lovely deep blue glass urn from a glass artist friend of ours, didn't realise what it until he let it slip that it was a reject one he made for a special request. He has made a series of larger urns for vases etc. Don't think it would be very practical for Tim though

5:50 pm

Jellen

They make wooden chests for the purpose, or I was looking at antiqued brass urns...

5:50 pm

I'd go for the latter

6:23 pm

hpb

yeah, I can usually dink around until I find the shorter ones, but I'm not so good at the longer ones.

6:24 pm

redturtlehead

I used ot be better at this, but frankly, I seem to have decreased in ability lately, probably because I hate using licketys list.

6:24 pm

72 Temple Owl

wondering if es is a prefix

6:25 pm

hpb

It probably is. But somehow I have "estate" stuck in my head, and I can't get around it, even though the Ts are really far away.

6:25 pm

72 Temple Owl

6:26 pm

Hi, feather

7:19 pm

TeaNCrackers

7 and 5, scrab - and almost so with the little guy. poop is still an issue, but not all of the time. the k teacher is aware and willing to work with him and he's not the only one in the class

7:19 pm

72 Temple Owl

hi feather

7:19 pm

Ours were a couple of weeks ago T&C, but it is even steven at the moment, hanging on a couple of independants

great progress, TnC

7:19 pm

TeaNCrackers

how old, feather?

featherbee

7:20 pm

TeaNCrackers

I wish we would have pushed it a bit more at an earlier age

7:21 pm

Scrabbler

Give him a choice: potty or diaper, but NOT in his underwear. Use a stool softener if needed so he has no discomfort.

7:21 pm

featherbee

he was totally ready for pee. poop was another issue. yeah, we're now weaning off the stool softener.

7:21 pm

featherbee

it's just getting past the fear hurdle for my guys.

7:22 pm

TeaNCrackers

so should we put him back in pull ups, scrab? I'm afraid if we do that he will completely revert

7:22 pm

featherbee

sorry everyone else in the chat!

7:22 pm

Jellen

Bye, sgeek

7:22 pm

TeaNCrackers

we make him clean himself and the undies up and then we help him make sure it is all the way clean

7:22 pm

TeaNCrackers

yes, sorry for the poop woes

7:22 pm

featherbee

hopefully nobody's eating dinner while we chat

7:23 pm

Rain1797

LOL...we used that method too, Tea

7:23 pm

ChampFit

I still don't see how kids are supposed to know the pull ups aren't diapers. We did undies or diapers.

7:23 pm

TeaNCrackers

that's what I am thinking, chamo

7:23 pm

TeaNCrackers

champ, sorry

7:23 pm

Rain1797

Got a book called "Toilet Training in Less Than a Day"

7:24 pm

ChampFit

it's ok. I get it. And he's still a little guy...it'll come!

7:24 pm

featherbee

the summer we potty train is the summer my boys discover they love being naked

7:24 pm

TeaNCrackers

we have been threatening being outside nakey all day - that terrifies him

7:25 pm

ChampFit

Yeah feather!!! Mine learned outside in undies. Once a neighbor called because my son had dropped trou in the street to go pee!

7:25 pm

featherbee

LOL champ

7:25 pm

TeaNCrackers

awesome, champ!

7:25 pm

ChampFit

God forbid he went pee without dropping 'em ALL THE WAY TO THE GROUND.

7:25 pm

ChampFit

Yes, we are savages in Texas!

7:26 pm

Jellen

Sorry to interrupt, but !!!Fireworks!!!

7:31 pm

lbdawger

7:31 pm

Scrabbler

Sorry, I was reading e-mail. "Pull-ups" = diapers. Duh. TnC--no diapers except IF he desires to poop in them rather than potty. Give him a choice of where to poop but underwear is NOT permitted.

7:34 pm

daykat

I've only got 26 left but got to go and do stuff - later maybe if I have time. Have fun everyone

7:35 pm

7:51 pm

lbdawger

lol, i like it!

7:51 pm

bichon

Scrabs, do you spend much of your professional life discussing potty training. Aren't children being potty trained at a later age now.

7:52 pm

Bugsaw

e

7:52 pm

lbdawger

not if the kid is going to daycare or preschool. have to be potty trained.

7:52 pm

lbdawger

hi bugs and bichon

7:52 pm

Bugsaw

Hi all.

7:53 pm

bichon

Not any more. About 1/2 of the 3 y.o.'s in my g'daughter's group are potty trained

7:53 pm

Bugsaw

just got here and thot I would ignore poop woes. I am way past that

7:53 pm

72 Temple Owl

a coworker took a week long cruise and her mother trained her son in that time. other coworkers chuckled bacuse she thinks it's all over

7:54 pm

72 Temple Owl

re7/36 pls?

7:54 pm

bichon

One of my g'daughters is potty trained at my house, but not at home

7:54 pm

bichon

TO think brown venemous spider

7:55 pm

Owl, re 7.36....hermit

7:55 pm

Anniebrook

and hi everyone...just passing thru again

7:55 pm

72 Temple Owl

hello annie!

7:55 pm

Bugsaw

ty bichon

7:56 pm

bichon

yvw

7:56 pm

Anniebrook

hi Owl, LOL, when I first looked at bichon's greeting, I thought uhoh

7:57 pm

72 Temple Owl

ANNIE! o.0

7:57 pm

Anniebrook

well, it was w/o my glasses, owl

7:59 pm

72 Temple Owl

how are you doing, annie?

7:59 pm

Anniebrook

I'm okay and hope you are too.

8:00 pm

Scrabbler

I'm back. Hi Bichon. Yes, many post-modern parents delay potty training out of fear that it is a huge psychological event. In the "old" days--so up til the 70's, the vast majority of kids were trained by 24 mo.

8:01 pm

Scrabbler

Hi Annie, Bugsaw (my new Facebook friend).

8:01 pm

Anniebrook

hi scrabbs

8:01 pm

bichon

I had no problem training my two [born '73 & '78] before their 3rd birthday. It seems now they hope for 4!

8:01 pm

featherbee

i lied, i'm back!

8:01 pm

72 Temple Owl

some is laziness, get tired of cleaning up after themin pants

8:02 pm

featherbee

i did it out of laziness really. trained both during the summer they turned 3. the summer they turned 2, didn't feel like they were ready, summer they were 3 was easier.

8:02 pm

Anniebrook

I gonna get into bed and read, good night everyone

8:02 pm

Scrabbler

Would you rather train a 3-4 mo old puppy (18-24 mo kid) or a 12 mo old puppy (3 -4 yr old kid)? The sooner the better. Teach + show.

8:02 pm

Bugsaw

Hi Scrabbler. I don't know how Jillli did it but I am happy to meet you more formally

8:02 pm

Scrabbler

Sleep well, Annie

8:03 pm

Scrabbler

Likewise, Bugsaw.

8:03 pm

72 Temple Owl

night annie

8:03 pm

72 Temple Owl

well the chocol cake in a mug smelled great but in my oven 3 min was too long

8:03 pm

Bugsaw

nite Annie. Happy reading

8:03 pm

Scrabbler

I do not like this grid, not with a fox, not in a box. I do not like green eggs and ham, Sam-I-Am!

8:04 pm

featherbee

although i wouldn't have wanted to wait any longer than this.

8:04 pm

Scrabbler

Do you see many of your students still struggling?

8:04 pm

72 Temple Owl

i ahd green eggs and ham in ny with doren

8:04 pm

Scrabbler

Were they good, Owl?

8:05 pm

72 Temple Owl

yes!

8:05 pm

featherbee

not really scrabs. we had one, but he had MANY other issues going on as well. other than him, it doesn't come up.

8:05 pm

72 Temple Owl

wait actually she had thenm and i tasted them. not something i would have chosen without prompting

8:05 pm

Bugsaw

Me Scrabbler? about struggling students I mean

8:05 pm

Scrabbler

Feather, I will be in Ithaca Sat-Monday. My NJ sister is coming to meet me UNLESS the hurricane threatens flooding at her home.

8:06 pm

Bugsaw

oh featherbee! ok (not really paying attention )

8:06 pm

Scrabbler

With potty training issues, Bugsaw. Do you teach too?

8:06 pm

featherbee

i teach kindergarten bugsaw! lol

8:06 pm

featherbee

oh cool scrabs!

8:07 pm

jmcnrick

hellos

8:07 pm

Bugsaw

No I work in the schools with special needs kids so I wasn't sure. Usually I don't do toileting; depends on the kid.

8:07 pm

jmcnrick

hi ya bugs

8:07 pm

Scrabbler

We looked at halfway spots for us and picked Ithaca or Binghamton. Ithaca is such a cool city + area.

8:07 pm

Bugsaw

Hey jmc. What does you icon say?

8:07 pm

Scrabbler

Hi JM

8:07 pm

featherbee

did you want to try to connect? yes, ithaca is awesome.

8:08 pm

featherbee

no, let me correct that. Ithaca is Gorges.

8:08 pm

Scrabbler

How far is your home from Ithaca?

8:08 pm

featherbee

45 min, depending on the area

8:08 pm

Scrabbler

It sure is, just like the bumpersticker.

8:08 pm

72 Temple Owl

ithaca is very cool. my bor's bro in law's sis has an inn there

8:09 pm

72 Temple Owl

LOL i have an ithaca is gorges magnet

8:09 pm

jmcnrick

potty trained at three? i did not have the pacience

8:09 pm

featherbee

i was toying with the idea of taking the boys to watkins glen. or we could do another falls park.

8:09 pm

Scrabbler

OOoooh, maybe Monday, depending on when my sister departs. I am in no rush to leave as I have the week off, but she will have to deal with traffic in NYC area.

8:09 pm

jmcnrick

my icon is the prenuptial cartoon i totally recommend it

8:09 pm

Scrabbler

So you might come to Ithaca Monday, Feather?

8:10 pm

jmcnrick

this one has facebook posting "my hubby is so wonderful" "no you are so wonderful"

8:11 pm

Scrabbler

Going to shut front + back doors. Feeling creeped out right now.

8:11 pm

featherbee

i originally was thinking saturday, but was only vaguely toying with the idea. wanted to do "something" before school starts tuesday

8:11 pm

Bugsaw

even with a magnifying glass I couldn't read it.

8:11 pm

72 Temple Owl

can't read it

8:11 pm

jmcnrick

then the kicker is:"they haven't made a face book button for "I want to puke my f***king guts out over this"

8:12 pm

featherbee

ithaca is closer than the glen actually

8:12 pm

Bugsaw

that would be a good button for some things on FB

8:12 pm

featherbee

ever been to robert treman state park? buttermilk falls?

8:13 pm

72 Temple Owl

je, are you on fb now?

8:13 pm

8:15 pm

jmcnrick

hi car

8:16 pm

Scrabbler

I have maps for Taughannock, Buttermilk, Allen Treman Marina, but the Robert Treman State PArk site won't bring up the trail map for there.

8:16 pm

featherbee

treman is my personal favorite. we were at taughannock in the spring, was lovely.

8:17 pm

Scrabbler

We want to kayak + hike. Do you already have my cell phone #, FB?

8:17 pm

8:20 pm

Scrabbler

Bye Owl

8:22 pm

Bugsaw

yes thanks to Jilli. She kept telling me I should be on FB and I was but without knowing any Babblers last names, and with me using a fake name, I was stuck. Somehow she magically changed everything.

8:22 pm

jmcnrick

jilli is a good witch

8:22 pm

Scrabbler

So the name on FB, is that your real name?

8:23 pm

jmcnrick

my icon name is not very different from re** name

8:24 pm

Bugsaw

No. I am Anne but Ireland reflects my heritage. I am not happy with the security of FB so I lied.

8:25 pm

how big?

8:29 pm

jmcnrick

hi jell!

8:29 pm

Scrabbler

Newborns are really cool. Everytime I see one I am amazed that they developed OK and transitioned from womb to world OK.

8:29 pm

Jacula

Nutty - stop teasing these good people. LOL

8:29 pm

evanonut

i think they're crazy head creepy

8:29 pm

bichon

You have the funnest job Scrabs

8:29 pm

Scrabbler

Hi Jac

8:30 pm

Jacula

Hi Scrabbs.

8:30 pm

jmcnrick

they are creepy -- it is a well kept secret

8:30 pm

evanonut

what? newborns are nuts. can't even blow their own nose or pop their own zits

8:30 pm

jmcnrick

but eventually they suck you into their world and you no longer notice

8:30 pm

Christine

Jellen, how is shdy?

8:30 pm

Scrabbler

Such extremes, Bichon--newborns to young adults. I would prefer under 10 or so and no adolescent females <---the WORST patients!

8:30 pm

jmcnrick

hi jac

8:30 pm

Jellen

I don't know...I talked to her a few days ago, and she seemed fine...

8:31 pm

evanonut

i likes the kids when they turn two or so, maybe i should adopt that age

8:31 pm

Jacula

jmc - what Babblers or newborns? Actually, thinking about it, the sucking you into their world thing, there isn't a lot of difference. LOL

8:31 pm

jmcnrick

i think that children from 12 to 18 should be frozen

8:31 pm

Christine

That's good.

8:31 pm

Scrabbler

It is amazing that newborns come out, breathe, and know how to suckle + feed immediately.

8:31 pm

jmcnrick

you have a point jac lol

8:31 pm

jmcnrick

hi christine

8:32 pm

Scrabbler

Beyond 18 except they are no longer minors.

8:32 pm

Jacula

Scrabbs - yes, but they can't stand up and run like some other species' newborns.

8:32 pm

Bugsaw

that is my theory too jmc!! I would like to thaw them out again after 18, not totally dispose of them. I just want to dispose of the drama

8:32 pm

jmcnrick

little parasites all of them

8:32 pm

evanonut

are you kidding, they're sucking their thumb in the friggin womb...not that impressive...now i once has this zit that was impressive

8:32 pm

evanonut

i kinda like the drama...i usually am amused by it and think its funny

8:32 pm

Scrabbler

Human young are dependent for a VERY long time compared to other species.

8:32 pm

Bugsaw

I like newborn noises

8:33 pm

Christine

Hi, everyone - just realised I hav102 to find ...

8:33 pm

Bugsaw

voice noises now that I think, I should clarify that

8:33 pm

jmcnrick

newborn noises are okay it is everything in betweem

8:33 pm

Jacula

Bug - not at 4am you wouldn't! Not when yet another feed is demanded.

8:33 pm

evanonut

further proof that humans are actually de-evolution scrabs

8:33 pm

jmcnrick

go christine go

8:33 pm

Bugsaw

hi Christine

8:33 pm

bichon

I wish my daughter would have another baby so I could hold it and play with it

8:33 pm

jmcnrick

when cows get up in the morning they always say: moo moo

8:34 pm

jmcnrick

kinda mean thing to wish on your kid

8:34 pm

Scrabbler

I wish I could laugh at some of the adolescent drama + histrionic behavior, but I must be compassionate + non-judgmental. Grr, sometimes I just want to smack some teens.

8:34 pm

Bugsaw

I agree bichon. Grandparents get all the benefits with none of the responsibilities

8:34 pm

bichon

my daughter really wants another bayb

8:34 pm

evanonut

actually jmc...no. at least not our cows...

8:34 pm

jmcnrick

*hands scrab a paddle*

8:34 pm

jmcnrick

that is the song i sang at 4 am feedings

8:34 pm

bichon

Yes Scrabs If only we could keep them froozen as babies

8:35 pm

jmcnrick

moo moo moo moo that is what they say they say

8:35 pm

evanonut

we pander too much to the drama any more. friggin emos

8:35 pm

Scrabbler

TY, JM

8:37 pm

Jellen

G'night, Nutty

8:38 pm

Jacula

Bug - there have ben times when I've been tempted to do that (the restaurant thing) but new parents have to learn and making them feel inadequate won't help.

8:38 pm

8:40 pm

jmcnrick

may have to resort to needle point

8:40 pm

featherbee

lurves lavender

8:40 pm

Bugsaw

Good thot Jac. I just remembered never having a hot meal until the kid was 1. It never seemed to matter when a meal was ready, the kid would fuss and I would tend to it until my food was cold.

8:40 pm

jmcnrick

gosh I ho** so too jac!

8:40 pm

jmcnrick

*whew*

8:40 pm

Jacula

That's okay then, feather.

8:47 pm

car.eeyore

May I please have some help with the right side N? I only have the Hawaiian goose!

8:48 pm

car.eeyore

I do hope that does not happen to anyone!!! But I can't help how intriguing I find the science of it all...I should have been a meteorologist!

8:48 pm

Jacula

Crossy....what is the mph equivalent of 190 K?

8:50 pm

car.eeyore

Oh! I am a mess! I need the N that is in the middle of that column! I am sorry!

8:50 pm

crosshair

118 mph

8:50 pm

Jacula

car - just over 118mph.

8:50 pm

OOOOOOH! No, we will be only at 60 MPH by the time it reaches us tomorrow.

8:50 pm

Jacula

car - try nu4 and plural 5 - n + web address.

8:52 pm

car.eeyore

Huzzah! Those were what I needed! TY Jacula!

8:52 pm

Jacula

nu4 and plural 5 are a ridge on something made to obtain better grip. i.e. on thumbscrews.

8:53 pm

car.eeyore

Hmmm. I did not know that!

8:53 pm

Jacula

Speaking of which, we went to Warwick Castle on Monday and the array of torture implements in the dungeon would make anyone's eyes water.

8:53 pm

Jacula

y/w car.

8:54 pm

car.eeyore

The past few days I have been redoing my boys' room....it is a castle!!!

8:55 pm

Jacula

There was The Hook, The Tongue Tearer, The Jaw Breaker, The Castrator and The Claw to name but a few.

8:55 pm

Jacula

Car - you wouldn't want to put any one of those in your boys' bedroom, beleive me!

8:56 pm

Nef

Good Evening Fellow Babblers. How are you all tonight; and how is the grid?

8:56 pm

Jacula

See you soon, Jellen.

8:57 pm

Jacula

Hi Nef - we've jsut been discussing babies, pros and cons, and now we're on to instruments of torture.

8:57 pm

Jacula

The grid was, I found earlier, not too bad.

8:57 pm

car.eeyore

NO...we are keeping it Knights of the Round Table-ish! Flags with crests, a kid-sized suit of armor, swords on the wall, and a dragon for good measure!

8:57 pm

car.eeyore

Hello Nef!

8:58 pm

Jacula

car - Yes, that is the face of Warwick Castle, but delve a little deeper...

8:58 pm

car.eeyore

Ouchie Jacula!

8:58 pm

Nef

Wowe, quite a broad subject swing; althought some people might think that babies *can* be an instrument of torture at times!

COOPS! Sorry! Off to the PB for me!

9:00 pm

Jacula

Incidentally, speaking of things on the wall, i.e. tapestries... Did you know that urine was added to tapestries to stop the natural dyes in them from running. Men were paid to drink large amounts of beer so that an adequate supply was available for that purpose.

9:00 pm

Jacula

Beloved loved that fact! LOL

9:00 pm

car.eeyore

OMG Jacula!

9:00 pm

Jacula

It must have been smelly sitting next to a tapestry at dinner, though.

9:01 pm

car.eeyore

And I definitely will NOT share that tidbit with my boys! They will be peeing all over the walls! LOL!

9:02 pm

Jacula

Tee hee!

9:04 pm

Jacula

Male urine, being smellier than female urine has been much prized and used over time. You'd be amazed at what it's been put into. However, if women had had their way back in the mists of time, ours might have been used to make a more peaceful world.

9:05 pm

Jacula

Our smell calms men down. Perhaps there would have ben fewer wars?

9:06 pm

crosshair

except for wars over women;)

9:07 pm

Jacula

Male urine marks territory. Female urine is a sex signal and also a signal that children are present. It also tells the experienced 'sniffer' (not that I am one) what mood we're in.

9:07 pm

crosshair

lol,i can take one look at the wife and know what mood she is in and i do not need to smell her pee to do it lol

9:07 pm

Jacula

crossy - true. But you men will find an excuse to fight about almost anything.

9:09 pm

Jacula

Giggling now, imagining Crossy's wife asking, 'What the hell are you DOING?' as he attempts to smell her pee.

9:10 pm

Christine

Well, Jacula, I remember about 30years ago, going with a friend while she had her diet-injection --- the urine of a pregnant woman. The thought of it made me consider smaller portions at mealtimes.

9:10 pm

crosshair

i come in the door and ask "darling,what is wrong" and she will say "nothing"..that mean to look out cause its gonna be a rough one;)

9:11 pm

crosshair

i never knew there were so many nuances to the word "nothing" till i got married;)

9:11 pm

Jacula

Crossy - that's life and don't we love it?

9:11 pm

Jacula

Christine - that's what's in diet injections? Interesting.

9:12 pm

crosshair

like in tandem with the one you love is amazing and the destination unknown;)

9:12 pm

crosshair

life

9:12 pm

Jacula

Crossy - LOL! Nothing can just mean nothing or it can mean, 'Bloody Hell! Have you NO idea?' etc., etc., etc.

9:13 pm

Jacula

You're SUPPOSED to just know, Crossy.

9:14 pm

crosshair

lol,of course,...i have been married now 17 years,and the ONLY thing i KNOW about women jacula,is that it has something to do with chocolate

9:15 pm

Jacula

chocolate, sex and sensitivity, Crossy.

9:16 pm

crosshair

ok..rub melted chocolate on gently and sex...ok got it

9:17 pm

car.eeyore

Does anyone have a clue for the HA 6/24 at the bottom of the list?

9:17 pm

Jacula

I was married for 18 years (22 years together), 10 years kissing frogs and now just over 7 years in coupledom again. We've just begun to hit the 'what??' times, especially since his daughter came to live with us and we became parents rather than just lovers again.

9:17 pm

crosshair

:)

9:18 pm

crosshair

aahh the dreaded 7th year....

9:18 pm

Jacula

It wouldn't have been dreaded, had we not had to become parents.

9:18 pm

crosshair

lol

9:19 pm

crosshair

year 3,7 and 10 and 14 are the ones to watch

9:20 pm

crosshair

yup things change when there is a child there and you cannot lay around neeked till 1 in the afternoon feeding each other grapes

9:20 pm

Jacula

Well, my Love hit 40 2 years ago, and I thought I might have to keep a firm eye or re4 on him then, given past eexperience. I think he's still on the straight and narrow but may feel excluded a bit by my being a mother again to his daughter.

9:21 pm

Jacula

crossy - the grapes an d naked thing, EXACTLY. I don't think Beloved has come to terms with that yet.

9:22 pm

Jacula

Let's hope past experience doesn't repeat itself and that we stay together.

9:23 pm

crosshair

the children have to come first and the sweedish oil massages later

9:23 pm

car.eeyore

I got all the H's!!!!!!!

9:23 pm

crosshair

yaa for car!!

9:24 pm

Jacula

Crossy - unfortunately, 'later' to a trucker is 9pm. Here in UK, kids stay up till midnight before getting to school at between 8 and 9am. Or at least his kid does.

9:24 pm

Jacula

Well done, car.

9:25 pm

Nef

Oh, MY!!?!?? 46 H's??????? Yikes!

9:25 pm

Jacula

LOL, Nef. You can do it!

9:26 pm

crosshair

we send our boy off at 10 pm,otherwise the only time wife and i wouldd have would be between 3:45 and 5 am if you let the kids set the schedule

9:27 pm

car.eeyore

ku 6/36 please?

9:27 pm

Jacula

You can't send an almost 16-yr-old off to bed at 10pm.

9:27 pm

Jacula

sounds like culture, car.

9:28 pm

car.eeyore

Ty Jac! Got it!

9:28 pm

crosshair

yes you can,he or she can read,do homework,gaze at their belly button,maybe actually clean their rooms..whatever.then they can do lights out at 11 or 12

9:29 pm

Jacula

Even if you do send them off, unless you tell 'em to b*gger off because you have things to do, they're quite likely to come downstairs and find you getting it on on the kitchen table.

9:29 pm

crosshair

i hang a sock on the door knob lol

9:30 pm

Jacula

Being a parent = being locked into The Bedroom, lest the kids should catch us.

9:30 pm

Jacula

y/w, car.

9:31 pm

crosshair

kids by the time they are teenagers should understand and respect limits and boundries you cannot let them rule all aspects of the household schedule

9:31 pm

Jacula

crossy - wouldn't hanging your underpants on the doroknob be a betteer signal?

9:32 pm

crosshair

well,i was thinking bout just putting a condom over the door knob,but thought that would be a tad blunt

9:32 pm

Jacula

Crossy - sometimes they do. I once had a b/f who didn't respect those boundaries, I couldn't cope with that.

9:32 pm

crosshair

everyone need there space and breathing room

9:33 pm

crosshair

their

9:34 pm

Jacula

well, we did respect my daughter's complaint about the headboard banging on her wall. We put a soft toy (a hippo in a pink dressing gown) between the head board and the wall. It's still there, 2 years after she left home.

9:35 pm

crosshair

i have a special reading nook off the livingroom just for that..a nice comfy wing back chair,an ottoman,a small table and one of those little table top water fountains and a book shelf full of books..a place to go and just unwind

9:35 pm

crosshair

lol,and yes,i try not to have the headboard plow its way into my kids room;)

9:36 pm

Jacula

We used to go up to the top of the garden to unwind, however, Beloved's daughter just marches up there to seek us out.

9:38 pm

Jacula

So, the solo place I designed before I'd even met Beloved no longer works. Nor does the place in the attic me and my Ex designed before.

9:38 pm

Jacula

YOUR KIDS WILL ALWAYS FIND YOU!

9:40 pm

crosshair

lol,i already told mine that as soon as he moves out,the wife and i are going clear across the country to the west coast and buy a 900 sq foot place so he cannot move back in with his pregnant girl friend!

9:40 pm

Jacula

Kids vs Romance = a no-starter until they are over 18.

9:41 pm

crosshair

i have a friend who had 2 sons,2 daughers,they all moved back either pregnant or with new bf/gf..so he gave up and just signed the house over to them and he and the wife left instead!

9:42 pm

Jacula

crossy - you sound like my Beloved. When we talk about the place by the sea we might buy some day, he always goes mad when I want 4 or 5 bedrooms. Those are for our kids, their spouses, our grandchildren.

9:42 pm

car.eeyore

su 6/21?

9:42 pm

crosshair

lol,i will build a cabin for temporary gusts

9:43 pm

Jacula

car - it's an army word but maybe try 'more subtle'?

9:43 pm

crosshair

who will clean that 5 bedroom 400 square foot wonder by the sea jacula?

9:43 pm

crosshair

4000*

9:44 pm

Jacula

Crossy - a temporary cabin for temporary gusts would be brilliant. You've no idea how smelly are my Beloved's farts.

9:44 pm

crosshair

lol

9:44 pm

car.eeyore

TY once again Jacula!

9:45 pm

Jacula

Crossy - if we can ever afford that kind of house, we can also afford a cleaner.

9:45 pm

crosshair

OK...4 to go...all RE's!

How stoopid is this....I am exhausted, but don't want to go to bed yet because the DH and kids are gone for the night and I am enjoying the peace and quiet!

9:55 pm

car.eeyore

G'night Dawg!

9:55 pm

Jacula

car - I know the feeling well.

9:55 pm

hpb

Jac, fortunately I have better (and more) hair than Paul Simon. lol! I'm just not as creatively photogenic.

9:56 pm

9:56 pm

hpb

9:56 pm

9:58 pm

hpb

9:59 pm

Jacula

ho7/32 is to make it more gruff..

9:59 pm

car.eeyore

Not my kitty! I gave the boys plenty of hugs! We have all been bunking in the same room due to the heat and having only 1 air conditioner, so I actually am looking forward to stretching out!

9:59 pm

Shirlockc

9:59 pm

car.eeyore

HO 7/32 is the act of becoming HO 6/21

YVW! I am so glad to be able to help!

9:59 pm

hpb

thx jac and car!

10:00 pm

hpb

I'd tried other extensions of that word already and had given up.

10:01 pm

Jacula

My kitty is flea-free, too, but what about this bed bug threat from New York and now Canada? You guys keep them to yourselves. We doo not want them! They've reached London already.

10:01 pm

car.eeyore

Oooh! Sorry to hear that Jacula!

10:02 pm

Jacula

They can jump through cavity walls - so, if my neighbours get tem from some American, I'll end up getting them too.

10:02 pm

My neighbours have just been on a cruise.

10:03 pm

crosshair

10:03 pm

Jacula

Hot mosist summer has killed my plum crop, Crossy. They're either rotting as they ripen or just rotten.

10:04 pm

crosshair

well,at least you have them.only those that has can lose them:/

10:04 pm

Jacula

I'm off out to pull all the rotten fruits off and prune the trees later. That may stop the wasps that might have invaded.

10:15 pm

Jacula

rnner beans are doing okay but not as priductive as in paast years.

10:16 pm

Jacula

Crossy - that sounds more like what we in UK call a Bramley apple.

10:16 pm

crosshair

10:16 pm

Jacula

crossy - if you really spent a whole afternoon eating an apple then....?

10:17 pm

10:24 pm

crosshair

now lemon verbina sounds interesting

10:24 pm

Jacula

crossy - no, he loves butter and bacon far too much. He just can't see the piint of eatinf corn ;when it comes out in the same state as when it went in'.

10:25 pm

crosshair

enjoy it and give it back to nature tell him

10:25 pm

Jacula

He says the same of 'seeded bread'.

10:26 pm

crosshair
