12:12 am

PAV3

hiya flosey!

12:12 am

Christine

I don't know, Dear - I haven't watched the television for about three weeks, so I know onlyy that they're in the So.Cal area.

12:12 am

flosey

lovely, Pav

12:12 am

MLFAN17

ohh i heard about them on tv

12:13 am

pcal2

my son lives only about 20 miles from the fires

12:13 am

MLFAN17

wow pc

12:14 am

pcal2

scarey

12:14 am

Christine

Daily occurence, almost year-round, now. Thre was a time that the newscasters spoke of "fire season", but now it's all the time. Too long droughts.

12:14 am

PAV3

...and it's back to work for me tomorrow, so I'll be back on Friday or thursday. Off to take Joey for his walk...good luck to those babblers working this grid!

12:14 am

Christine

pca12, where does he live? I'm in Los Angeles.

12:15 am

MLFAN17

can anyone give me the stats on the 2ND COLUM E please?

12:15 am

pcal2

12:16 am

jessmom

eo5, eo6

12:16 am

MLFAN17

i hadnt realized theirwere two fires

12:16 am

MLFAN17

thanksjess

12:16 am

jessmom

yw

12:17 am

Christine

I think there are smaller fires, just north of L.A, but the San Bruno fire sounds brutal - I believe it's been going for some time.

12:18 am

pcal2

since Thursday I think

12:20 am

Christine

Our state is sere and brown, almost year-round - an old man told me, long aga, that that's wht we're the Golden State: because from the air every this has a golden sheen.

12:21 am

Christine

*everything*

12:22 am

pcal2

We lived in Orange County for several years way back when there were still orange groves around Yorba Linda...it was nice.

12:22 am

Christine

Actually, I think there's only 36 words in this puzzle.

12:23 am

pcal2

good...then I'm almost done!

12:23 am

MLFAN17

feels like it doesnt it christine lol;

12:24 am

MLFAN17

123 unfortunately

12:24 am

Christine

When I first came to L.A., many of the homes had orange trees in the grass area, between the sidewalk and the curb. Now, mush of my neighbourhood has changed to apartments, and the orange trees are disappearing.

12:25 am

Christine

bloomin' fremlins, can't spell - much, not mush!

12:25 am

pcal2

no worries on spelling...we get the idea!

12:28 am

Christine

I read an article that said, if you typed the first and last letters correctly, and the length of the word was about right, most people would read the sentence and often not notice the error.

12:28 am

pcal2

it's true...and amazing

12:29 am

pcal2

egises

12:29 am

Nef

Christine, I love the term fremlins! :-) it's perfect for this game!

12:29 am

pcal2

oops! can't chat and play the grid so I'm off to the PB

12:30 am

Christine

Anyone old enough to remember the Playboy magazine? Fremlins were these cute little cartoon-girls, who say in martini glasses.

12:31 am

helensgirlkid

thanks, pcal - it hand't occurred to me to try for the plural!

12:31 am

Nef

here I thought you were trying a purposely mis-spelt word!

12:31 am

Christine

Stick around, I need all the help that's going around.

12:31 am

pcal2

at your service : )

12:32 am

Nef

Christine, I remember the magazine, but can't say I ever read one!

12:32 am

pcal2

elfs

12:33 am

Christine

My husband and his friends bought it for the articles!!

12:33 am

pcal2

sorry, sorry! I really am done with the chat (poof!)

12:34 am

rururocks

left column grey

12:34 am

flosey

hi ru,

12:34 am

Christine

Don't worry, you're not the first (or the last) to forget to move the cursor.

12:35 am

Nef

I think that in 36 years of marriage my DH only had 2 Playboy magazines; given to him by a friend when he was in the hospital (the friend wanted to "shock" the nurses (and I'm a nurse!)

12:35 am

Christine

One day last week, I typed a whole answe in the 'add word' space.

12:36 am

Christine

Would it hurt "them" to put a T in this bloomin grid?

12:38 am

Nef

Christine, I'm always typing words here or chat in the word box. I'm doing better than usual right now because I have a new keyboard and have to correct all my errors before I hit enter

12:40 am

Christine

Wow! I need that! My brain goes faster than my fingers, and I hit enter before I read my post. However, if that's the worst that happens to us, we're blessed.

12:42 am

Nef

The new keyboard seems to have a different type of key than the old one had. I'm hitting all the neighboring keys about every 3rd letter.

12:45 am

Christine

When I got my first computer, I'd keep hitting the key with ry right pinky -- very odd. At least that's stopped. I use a lapto, lying in bed, so I use two fingers on my right hand ans two on my left -- sort of hunt and peck.

12:50 am

Nef

fading fast here, I should give up and go to bed since I work tomorrow.

12:51 am

Christine

I have 57 words, and running low on interest in the grid. Time for a cuppa and a book. See y'all tomorrow. Goodnight, all.

rubyfoo

3:00 am

Atalante

was on an expedition to look for fishy fossils

3:00 am

Atalante

ayla's being a brat, she wants me to start playing WoW

3:01 am

sprite

GW is way more beautiful and way more fun, tell her

3:01 am

rubyfoo

3:01 am

sprite

Ata is the expert on all things marine, rubyfoo.

3:01 am

rubyfoo

my best one is a sea fern that is about 15 millions years old, from China

3:02 am

sprite

and I have seen previews of GW2. If that gets half as good as it looks, it will be amazing!

3:02 am

Atalante

she can't get hold of GW over tehre :(

3:02 am

sprite

oh wow rubyfoo, that is special.

3:02 am

rubyfoo

it is the size and weight of a small tombstone, found in a gallery in Montreux which is not as good as finding it yourself!

3:02 am

Atalante

my fishies were about 245 million years old, and the ones in Greenladn were about 350 million!

3:03 am

jean1953

Good morning everyone, well am at work and am having a sneaky look at the grid lol :)

3:03 am

rubyfoo

actually, I'm trying to find one for my husband's birthday at the end of this month. The only place I know, online, is The Evolution Store in NY, but their stuff is too sanitized!

3:03 am

sprite

Ata, I bet she can simply download it from the site and buy a key online.

3:03 am

sprite

hi jean! Multitasking, wtg girrrrl!

3:03 am

rubyfoo

if I could photograph our sea fern, I would, but it's black on black and you would have to visit to see it.

3:04 am

jean1953

lol

3:04 am

rubyfoo

(which, BTW, is an invitation!)

3:04 am

sprite

grin, thank you rubyfoo!

3:05 am

Atalante

probably, but the silly girl has started playing WoW now. brat!

3:05 am

rubyfoo

I once found an amonite high up in the French alps

3:05 am

sprite

well, WoW isn't as much fun and the graphics aren't half as good. Keep telling her.

3:06 am

sprite

you will have to find one yourself again, rubyfoo. Hubby will love it.

3:06 am

rubyfoo

I found a few at auctions here, but it's not a regular source

3:06 am

Atalante

oh I will, don't worry

3:18 am

Atalante

small ones usually are

3:18 am

sprite

I will stay my judgment a little longer. It went very smooth until it did not go at all anymore... now trying to get away from the brick wall.
Yesterday's was friendly, except for the As, Ss and Ts :) Well, so4 of them.

3:20 am

Atalante

but this one is fun so far

3:20 am

sprite

we recently had one that was both small and easy and hence it was disappointingly fast over.

3:21 am

ChuggaBOOM!

think i know which one youre talking about.. literally finished it in less than a minute

3:21 am

sprite

yep that one

3:22 am

Atalante

3:24 am

sprite

hi Haz! Welcome back, how was your holiday?

3:24 am

Haz1558

Hello! It was lovely, relaxing and interesting, all at the same time.

3:24 am

Atalante

wow haz, I'm impressed!

3:24 am

sprite

that is good to hear, Haz.

3:25 am

Atalante

did spangle help?

3:25 am

Haz1558

My favourite comment came from an American in Oxford. I overheard her saying how they'd managed to use cobbles to make it look really old.

3:25 am

FMitch

Good morning/evening all!

3:25 am

Atalante

loooool

3:25 am

Atalante

FM too! YAY!

3:25 am

sprite

hi FM :)

3:25 am

Haz1558

Good morning, FM!

3:25 am

FMitch

Helloooooo :)

3:26 am

FMitch

That is classic, Haz.

3:26 am

sprite

painful, Haz

3:26 am

FMitch

How are you Ata?

3:27 am

Haz1558

I know. Nearly as good as the American woman on safari in Kenya who assured other people that they wouldn't let the wild elephants near the camp, only the tame ones.

3:27 am

Atalante

fed up with knee problems!

3:28 am

sprite

ouch, yes, that is as bad.

3:28 am

Haz1558

I'm an awful eavesdropper, but you do hear some classics.

3:28 am

FMitch

awe poor dear :(

3:28 am

ChuggaBOOM!

sorry to budge in, but what was the first comment for?

3:28 am

FMitch

Hi Chugga

3:29 am

Atalante

first comment/

3:29 am

Atalante

?

3:29 am

Haz1558

Which first comment?

3:29 am

sprite

the one about the cobble stone

3:29 am

ChuggaBOOM!

@Haz, with the cobble

3:29 am

FMitch

Haz's one re the cobbles perhaps?

3:29 am

ChuggaBOOM!

sounded funny

3:30 am

Haz1558

It was because Oxford is really old all by itself. It doesn't need to be made to look old a la Disney.

3:30 am

ChuggaBOOM!

ooh haha thats cute

3:31 am

FMitch

BRB, just got to sort out an email.

3:31 am

sprite

my favorite ones are the dutch couple in French, who needed potatoes and kept yelling at the sales woman in dutch: Aardappelen! Aardappelen!
And then the wife said to her husband: "You must pronounce it more clearly, honey, she can't understand you like this."

3:32 am

Haz1558

The thing that always strikes me about places that have really old buildings is that when they're in towns/cities they're not treated in any precious way but are used - for shops and offices etc. They're not museum pieces but living parts of the city.

3:32 am

sprite

and another dutch person in France, wanting 'brie qui se promenne' - meaning runny brie.

3:33 am

Haz1558

What a lovely image - the cheese taking itself for a tour of the town.

3:33 am

Atalante

running brie! excellent!

3:33 am

FMitch

LOL!

3:33 am

sprite

so true, Haz, and I think it is the best way to enjoy them. Makes me feel so much closer.

3:34 am

Atalante

its like canterbury

3:35 am

Haz1558

Yes, I think you either decide to make the whole place a theme park or you go with the idea that the buildings have been fit for purpose for hundreds of years and might as well be used.

3:35 am

FMitch

mm vrey true Ata, streets and building steeped in ancient history.

3:35 am

sprite

lol Ata... cantering brie?

3:36 am

Haz1558

I did like that in Stratford, a lovely set of almshouses are still being used for pensioners today.

3:36 am

sprite

I love them being used. So much easier to feel connected to the days of yore.

3:37 am

Atalante

my dentist is i a house from about 1650, most canterbury shops and offices arein old and creaky houses

3:37 am

Haz1558

By the way, check out my profile for the newest idea in babble marketing. We have music that people might have recorded. Further suggestions welcome...

3:38 am

sprite

lolllll! Haz, that is priceless. I love Paris by Paris... lol.

3:39 am

FMitch

LOL, inspired Haz - will def have to think of some to add to that list!

3:39 am

Haz1558

The girl just sets herself up, doesn't she?

3:39 am

sprite

absolutely, Haz.

3:41 am

Haz1558

Yes, do get thinking caps on, I had a bit of a giggle doing it.

3:41 am

FMitch

3:42 am

sprite

I have one that FM has recorded: Blame it on the Boogie

3:42 am

FMitch

3:46 am

FMitch

3:47 am

FMitch

3:47 am

Haz1558

The House Inspector is coming. Cue foreboding music....

3:53 am

lynxxx

will FM get stars after the visit?

3:54 am

Haz1558

And if it were on TV, the foreboding music would be accompanied by shots of a man approaching. The commentary would be along the lines of 'Will FM manage to get the house into order? Will the House Inspector believe that she has earned the right to stay? Or will FM's idyll be over? Coming up next....'

3:54 am

3:55 am

aw poor Hobbit. She must have eaten a fossil that rubyfoo would have loved.

3:55 am

Atalante

back shortly!

3:55 am

Haz1558

I'm leaving on a jet plane by Oprah Winfrey?

3:56 am

3:59 am

ChuggaBOOM!

its abdomen is so large i wouldnt imagine cleaning up the guts

4:00 am

lynxxx

funny - I can imagine Chugga doing his hair and spraying it before tackling the spider

4:00 am

Haz1558

There's something you can do with a piece of card and a glass - get it outside and let it go.

4:00 am

rubyfoo

I love spiders, but only outside. In the hoouse, not so much.

4:00 am

ChuggaBOOM!

i was born a wuss, granted

4:01 am

rubyfoo

the problem with spiders out of webs is that their movements are erratic

4:01 am

ChuggaBOOM!

its about the size of 9 keys in a square formation.. its so large

4:01 am

Haz1558

Well, we all know what to do to divert Chugga's attention from the grid. Have a steady supply of spiders to mince menacingly across his floor. That'll show him down.

4:01 am

ChuggaBOOM!

im not saving it.. it has to die i just dont know how yet

4:01 am

rubyfoo

haz, that's how I save bees, but our big black house spiders jump

4:01 am

ChuggaBOOM!

4:02 am

rubyfoo

the hairspray will make her hold still long enough to sqush

4:03 am

rubyfoo

our housekeeper vacuums them up, but I think that's a bad idea as they might nest inside!

4:03 am

ChuggaBOOM!

9 keys in a 3x3 formation is exactly its size actually.. but im using a mac so our keys maay be a bit different

4:03 am

4:04 am

rubyfoo

and I feed the outside spiders that live in webs

4:04 am

sprite

lol Boom, I am thinking piano keys

4:04 am

rubyfoo

I don't think the vacuum kills them

4:04 am

rubyfoo

just makes them angry

4:05 am

Haz1558

Hope it goes okay, Chugga.

4:06 am

rubyfoo

good luck, chugga!

lynxx have you ever seen one of the dreaded Australian funnel spiders? How common are they?

4:09 am

ChuggaBOOM!

the remedy of arachnophobia is to rid my house of them and to NOT let the ones inside my home live

4:09 am

rubyfoo

I'm only afraid of the poisonous ones and the only ones in Europe are black widows, and they're mostly in Sicily

4:09 am

I did wonder over the 15 million ...

4:22 am

4:24 am

rubyfoo

it was very expensive, but I was still employed at the time and used to buy him lavish gifts

4:25 am

rubyfoo

now, not working, it's very tricky to find him affordable gifts

4:25 am

herinfernallady

Gifts shouldn't have to be afforable just thoughtful

4:26 am

rubyfoo

I gave it to him one Christmas as a total surprise and had it wrapped and under the tree. He thought it was a tombstone!

4:26 am

rubyfoo

yes, I agree, but it's hard to be creative here

4:26 am

rubyfoo

and nobody likes my knitting! llol

It is a grey and dingy day here but still quite mild but the wind is picking up.

6:09 am

zoozzoom

The raain is supposed to be on its way too :-(

6:10 am

Eva

Merp had a funny spell a couple of weeks ago-seemed like he had been possessed or had senile dementia. Would be sitting quietly and suddenly begin growling that very low growl as if something were attacking him. Then it would be over. Also attacked my arm during the night and really bit hard. Made an appt with the vet, and of course a few hours before the appt it was clear he was fine. He had killed and eaten something rather large two days before this began.

6:11 am

bcoming a li4 it seems..lol

Hello zooz and everyone else

6:12 am

seems to be just fine. I keep wondering whether something got stuck-a bone or something, that would create pain. Being attacked by a large cat in the dark who won't let go is rather frightening.

thought for the day....

10:59 am

crosshair

A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold the bird froze and fell to the ground into a large field. While he was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on him. As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, he began to realize how warm he was. The dung was actually thawing him out! He lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy. A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate. Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him.

Moral of the story:
1. Not everyone who shits on you is your enemy
2. Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend
3. And when youâ€™re in deep shit, itâ€™s best to keep your mouth shut!

I see George Michael has been sent to jail for driving whilst taken drugs.

11:21 am

crosshair

Universities really astound me.it is like somewhere there is a world where people can afford that or go 50 grand in debt and spend the first 10 years of their adult working carear paying it off.my brother got a b.a or m.b.a in english,and now 20 years later i do not think he has ever used it in a real life application lol

11:23 am

zoozzoom

the fee for universities here in the UK, are around Â£7000 so i here.

11:23 am

crosshair

now a college degree i can understand.spend 2 years learn a job skill,get out and work

11:23 am

crosshair

and it is what zooz? 4 years? five?

11:24 am

zoozzoom

depends on what they wnat to do, i am sure it is on average of five years

11:24 am

crosshair

so,thirty thousand pounds,almost 50 grand cad

11:25 am

zoozzoom

and like you say, wouldtake a long time to pay off, with interest too.

11:26 am

crosshair

took my brother 8 years with him and the wife working full time

11:27 am

zoozzoom

Did he think it was worth the investment?

11:27 am

crosshair

not at all,it never came into practical use,his wifes degree on the other hand was in nursing...

11:28 am

crosshair

priceless

11:29 am

crosshair

the U.S hospitals were fighting over her when she got her degree

11:29 am

I must confess, although people here would already know, i am not very bright..i left school , got a low paid job..but saved very hard, paid for my house& now have savings..always wondered , what if i had went to university.

11:30 am

zoozzoom

good for her Crossy, it is nice when it all works out.

11:30 am

Ah, that explains it. Are you making progress with your leg?

11:35 am

Haz1558

Hello crossy.

11:35 am

what,s wrong with the leg zooz?is that the one you over extended?

11:36 am

or am i thinking of another babbler

11:36 am

zoozzoom

keep having blood checks, have to inject myself & take walferin tabs.

11:36 am

Haz1558

I think he had a clot in it if I remember correctly.

11:36 am

i have a blood clot Crossy.

11:36 am

crosshair

clots can be very dangerous

11:37 am

Haz1558

Jacula fell, Ata slipped, don't remember who over-extended. I've failed in my medical knowledge of all babblers.

11:37 am

zoozzoom

still do, Haz..yes Crossy they can be if they travel to the lungs :-(

11:37 am

crosshair

you must be getting very regular monitoring

11:37 am

zoozzoom

thats right Crossy, thats why i have to keep going to the hospital, such a bind, but must me done.

11:38 am

zoozzoom

LOL,Haz..we are accident prone, us babblers

11:38 am

Haz1558

Yes, do as you're bid! You know it makes sense....

11:38 am

crosshair

indeed,that thing also has been happening to long haul flyers.i now here they have exercise programs onboard for some long flights

11:39 am

Haz1558

I don't think anybody should put babble down on any form for health insurance, you'd be denied cover for sure.

11:39 am

zoozzoom

I do Haz, i still remember all the kind messages Babblers gave me,will not let you people down. :-)

11:39 am

Hello FM and VIcuna!!

How are you all?

Haz1558

(Two exclamation marks, that proves I'm pleased)

12:01 pm

FMitch

What a surprise :)

12:01 pm

Haz1558

I'm really well, thanks. How are you and yours?

12:01 pm

Vicuna

I will treasure that extra exclamation mark, Haz.

12:01 pm

FMitch

ditto what Haz said.

12:02 pm

Haz1558

Yes, because with the way some people dole them out, they may just become extinct.

12:02 pm

Vicuna

Splendid, splendid. TOG are back in school, so I am once again a woman of leisure.

12:02 pm

FMitch

oh shush Haz, the odd bit of exuberance is allowed.

12:02 pm

Haz1558

Excellent. You can take up artistic adventures and bestow your presence upon us more often.

12:03 pm

Vicuna

I know. I'll save one of FM's too, and start a captive breeding program.

12:03 pm

FMitch

You won't know what to do with yourself Vi :)

12:03 pm

Haz1558

But FM - I did show exuberance. TWO exclamation marks.

12:03 pm

FMitch

lol yes that was quite over the top for you dear :)

12:04 pm

I've been lurking more and more of late, but when I came on and saw HAZ AND FM... well, I couldn't possibly stay silent.

12:04 pm

FMitch

and we are v glad to see you too.

12:04 pm

Haz1558

We'd have been offended if you had, Vi.

12:04 pm

Vicuna

I know exactly what to do with myself, FM! =D I just started carving an overly ambitious block that ought to keep me plenty busy for a while.

12:05 pm

FMitch

A lot more people seem to lurk these days.

Oh what is the subject of the new creation?

12:06 pm

Vicuna

Sometimes it just gets overwhelming and I want the soothing concentration of finding words and not the sometimes stressful pressures of the chog.

12:06 pm

Haz1558

Have you checked out my latest music releases (in profile, Vi)? I'm pleased with the topical nature of the George Michael offering.

12:07 pm

helensgirlkid

Fireworks!! Thought I'd never find the oi7,8, trying kept me out of chat. Hello all!

12:07 pm

Vicuna

It's an idea from TOG-girl: a fairy castle growing out of a tree. The biggest block I've ever done and chock full of details like tiny fairies and stuff. Probably will be a failure, but it's always funt o try.

12:07 pm

Vicuna

Checking, Haz...

12:07 pm

helensgirlkid

And have just looked at the time - Bye all! See you tomorrow.

12:07 pm

Haz1558

Hello, helensgirl - congratulations!

12:07 pm

FMitch

Congrats helen

12:09 pm

Vicuna

lol - you had way too much fun with that, Haz. (But Annie Oakley's song is "I shot the sheriff," by the way.)

12:09 pm

FMitch

You have added quite a few Haz. I haven't had a chance to enjoy thinking of any today apart from 'Go Now' by the Babble Collective, dedicated to all trolls.

12:09 pm

Vicuna

Hello, yay, and bye to helens!

12:09 pm

Haz1558

What have I put? Let me check...

Definitely not!

12:10 pm

FMitch

not with her toting a gun and all.

12:10 pm

rubyfoo

gd evening everybody

12:11 pm

Haz1558

Hello, ruby.

12:11 pm

rubyfoo

41 words to go -- sure! hahah

12:11 pm

FMitch

Evening ruby!

12:11 pm

Vicuna

Hello, ruby!

12:12 pm

FMitch

I am going to have to put some light on soon, v autumnal today :(

12:12 pm

Haz1558

It always troubled me that Annie (as played by Doris) was still going to talk about varmints, even when she was dressed up and ladylike.

12:12 pm

Haz1558

We've had wind and rain and sunshine all in the past half hour, and yes, it's definitely getting colder.

12:13 pm

Vicuna

I've never seen Doris play Annie. IS it like Audrey Hepburn screaming "Move yer bloomin' a****"?

12:13 pm

FMitch

It is worse actually Vi.

12:13 pm

rubyfoo

hello FM and Vicuna!

12:13 pm

Haz1558

Yes, it doesn't quite work.

12:14 pm

rubyfoo

that's a funny idea about Doris Day

12:14 pm

Vicuna

Ah, like that only not on purpose. Sounds bad.

12:15 pm

FMitch

btw Vi, the concept for the block sounds wonderful, I hope it works out.

12:16 pm

Vicuna

Thanks for the encouragement, FM. The kids really liked the sketch, but I'm dubious about my ability to carve and print it well. But I'll report back when it's done.

12:16 pm

FMitch

oh do, would love to whatever the outcome is.

12:17 pm

FMitch

FYI, I still have the bracket yr daughter made me, hanging off a peg on the noticeboard on my desk :)

12:17 pm

Haz1558

The thing is, you're the only one (okay the twins as well) who knows what you want it to be. Where you see faults, we would only see wonderment and creativity.

12:18 pm

rubyfoo

vi, the idea for your block sounds wonderful, but how do you make the tiny fairies? Isn't it really difficult to carve that finely?

12:18 pm

Vicuna

Awww... =) She doesn't make bracelets much any more, but she still gets on a little kick again every once in a while.

12:18 pm

FMitch

Exactly Haz. An artist is his/her own worst critic.

12:20 pm

Haz1558

It's why I so often cast my embroidery from me.

12:20 pm

Vicuna

Yep, ruby, it'll be tough. I'm not sure I'll be able to. But it'll be an interesting challenge. I still want to see your stuff, ruby!

12:20 pm

FMitch

ROFL

12:20 pm

rubyfoo

I am totally overwhelmed at the moment, vi, drowning in paperwork!

12:21 pm

Vicuna

That's true to a certain extent, Haz, but there are also times when everyone else can tell what it's meant to be... and that it doesn't look quite right! Yeah, you're way too hard on yourself with your embroidery talent, i know, Haz.

12:21 pm

FMitch

Im just gearing myself up to start doing my embroidery again, esp as I have the space to do the dying and leaving things to dry now.

12:22 pm

rubyfoo

you do your own dyeing FM? That is amazing

12:22 pm

Vicuna

Oh, that's great, FM! Do you have an idea for the first thing you want to work on?

12:22 pm

FMitch

Haz's hemmings skills still need to be worked on though.

12:22 pm

Haz1558

Don't forget to ask me when you come to difficult bits, FM. Or you could consult my masterpiece 'Advanced embroidery'

12:23 pm

Vicuna

Haz's embroidery is so advanced that it's become conceptual.

12:23 pm

FMitch

mmm been toying with ideas of Wisteria on and off for ages. Did a great bit of work a few years back on the trunk and branches so may use that as a starting point.

12:23 pm

Haz1558

Who needs to hem when there are alternatives? Sellotape, safety pins and seamstresses spring to mind.

12:23 pm

FMitch

lol Vi!

12:23 pm

FMitch

Don't forget the stapler Haz, very useful for hem emergencies.

12:23 pm

Vicuna

Sounds lovely, FM!

12:24 pm

Haz1558

I wonder if they still sew mail bags in prison?

12:24 pm

Vicuna

If they do you'd better stay on the straight and narrow, Haz.

12:25 pm

Haz1558

It's a deterrent like no other.

12:25 pm

rubyfoo

mail bags in prison, hahahah

12:25 pm

FMitch

Straight and narrow do not apply to Haz's sewing skills thats for sure.

12:25 pm

Vicuna

lol

12:25 pm

Haz1558

Big wonky stitches - that's me!

12:26 pm

Haz1558

My head knows what it wants to accomplish but my fingers won't cooperate.

12:27 pm

FMitch

but in the kitchen the co-ordination is excellent!

12:27 pm

Haz1558

And they're making needles smaller than ever - trying to get them threaded demands a lot of light, glasses on and tongue out in concentration.

12:27 pm

Vicuna

Yeah, I'd happily do all your hemming if you'd do all my cooking.

12:28 pm

Haz1558

Not a fair bargain!

12:28 pm

FMitch

get in the queue Vi.

12:28 pm

Vicuna

Sigh.

12:29 pm

Vicuna

I'd throw in laundry, too.

12:29 pm

FMitch

Im going to go as I need to shut windows as it is getting v window and a tad chillly. Lovely chatting if you are not here when I get back.

12:30 pm

Vicuna

I'd like cooking just fine if I were a chef with sous-chefs to get all the ingredients and have them ready to go.

12:30 pm

Haz1558

You too, FM.

12:30 pm

Vicuna

Good to see you, FM, dear. Take care!

12:30 pm

12:32 pm

Haz1558

Hello, Sally.

12:32 pm

Haz1558

So they are. Scrub my advice, the talk of sewing has upset me!

12:32 pm

Sally-catlover

Haven't had time to chat lately. Is everyone well? Did you have a nice holiday Haz? and how is Mr Ruby?

12:32 pm

rubyfoo

ty, most e's vanquished and nbt

12:33 pm

rubyfoo

Mr. Ruby is the same, slowly recovering

12:33 pm

rubyfoo

ty for asking

12:33 pm

Vicuna

Poor Haz. No one mention se4/8.

12:33 pm

Haz1558

Lovely holiday, thanks.

12:33 pm

Sally-catlover

Where did you go?

12:33 pm

rubyfoo

our court date is 5 Nov and the dog is back at home!

12:34 pm

Haz1558

We stayed in the Cotswolds, but visited Stratford and Oxford as well.

12:35 pm

rubyfoo

gd night everybody

12:35 pm

Sally-catlover

Oh lovely Haz. Love the Cotswolds, and also Stratford.

12:35 pm

Haz1558

Bye, ruby.

12:35 pm

Vicuna

Goodnight, Ruby.

12:35 pm

Sally-catlover

Ruby, good night. Will keep my fingers crossed for your court date.

12:35 pm

Boobear

hi all. I'm back to to finish my last 50

12:35 pm

Haz1558

We really enjoyed it - interesting and relaxing at the same time.

12:36 pm

Vicuna

Hello, Boobear.

12:36 pm

Haz1558

Hello, Boo.

12:36 pm

Vicuna

Sounds wonderful, Haz.

12:36 pm

rubyfoo

*poof*

12:37 pm

Sally-catlover

Laughed at your sewing needle comment Haz. My mother had bad eyesight and only ever used a darning needle to sew. When I started "domestic science" at school I had to take in a needle from home, and the needlework teacher was horrified when I produced this enormous darning needle.

12:38 pm

Haz1558

Your mother was a wise woman - why strain your eyes?

12:38 pm

Vicuna

lol, Sally.

12:38 pm

redturtlehead

Hi everyone. I love it Sally!!!

12:38 pm

Sally-catlover

I belong to the Haz school of sewing.

12:38 pm

Haz1558

Domestic science teachers were a different breed.

12:38 pm

Vicuna

Hello, again, redturtle.

12:39 pm

Haz1558

My daughter's domestic science teacher objected to the way I had sewn on a label to her apron.

12:39 pm

redturtlehead

I recall that microwaves came out during my Home economics classes, the teacher would start the thing and then tell us all to "Move back"! to the far corner of the room...

12:39 pm

Sally-catlover

Cheek!

12:39 pm

Sally-catlover

rofl red

12:40 pm

Sally-catlover

I remember hiding behind the door the first time I used a pressure cooker.

12:40 pm

Haz1558

I got my own back. I was to attend an evening at the school shortly afterwards. I introduced myself to her as the mother who couldn't sew.

12:40 pm

ChampFit

Hi all! Red, I remember the same from my dad when we got our first one. it was HUGE!

12:40 pm

redturtlehead

nice one Haz. I am sure it was on correctly!

12:41 pm

Vicuna

Hello, ChampFit.

12:41 pm

redturtlehead

champ how is the foot?

12:41 pm

Haz1558

It was on. It wasn't pretty, but it was on.

12:41 pm

Boobear

Hi Champ

12:43 pm

Haz1558

Right, must go and get the family fed. Bye for now!

12:43 pm

ChampFit

bye!

12:43 pm

Sally-catlover

It itsn't a good idea to use orange thread on a white label, I've found.

12:43 pm

Sally-catlover

Bye Haz.

12:43 pm

Vicuna

Goodbye, Haz. Good to see you.

12:44 pm

Vicuna

Well, that depends, Sally. It's a great idea if the main object is to be able to tell where you've already sewn. ;)

12:44 pm

Sally-catlover

Good point Vicuna, but I don't usually have a problem. It's the dirty bit with lots of holes.

12:45 pm

Vicuna

lol

12:45 pm

Vicuna

I guess I'd better wander off and get back to work for a bit. Goodbye, all.

12:45 pm

Boobear

bye Vicuna. Have a good day at work.

12:55 pm

redturtlehead

I've been toying with the idea of learning to make quilts. I will need a sewing machine though. I have a few pregnant friends, and baby quilts luckily do not have to be big!!!

12:56 pm

Sally-catlover

I think if I made a quilt it would have to be a very long pregnancy.

12:56 pm

carleekat

rth!!!!..i am same but i want to do mine by hand

7:59 pm

m9f9l

wow. yikes lbd

8:00 pm

Minski

hello all

8:00 pm

Bugsaw

Now I totally confused. First I thot you were a teacher, then when we talked about the Babble meet I thot you worked at a big box store, but now you are doing both????

8:00 pm

Minski

what do you do that you work the graveyard shift lbd?

8:00 pm

lbdawger

the teaching is easy. basic computers and its a lot of hand holding. nothing strenous (sp)

8:01 pm

lbdawger

I work at Borders books and i teach part time

8:02 pm

Bugsaw

I loved it when I worked at a bookstore but I gave them back all my paycheques buying the merchandise

8:02 pm

Minski

Borders is open 24/7?

8:02 pm

Bugsaw

still, it sounds like a full plate

8:02 pm

lbdawger

we dont' do graves that often, but we're so behind in getting stock out, that we have to do some overnights, while there are fewer distractions.

8:03 pm

Minski

I get it. I used to work in a book warehouse and was responsible just for logging and putting away 9-5 m-f.

8:03 pm

lbdawger

no 24/7! yikes, i'd be homocidal! just short handed, and poor time management.

8:04 pm

actual question: Shall Section 6 of Article X of the Constitution of Virginia be amended to
authorize legislation that will permit localities to establish their own income or
financial worth limitations for purposes of granting property tax relief for
homeowners not less than 65 years of age or permanently and totally disabled?

10:33 pm

eo5/10 is related to white blood cells, but it's actually a dye. eo5/10 + "ophil" is the white blood cell, named because it stains well with eo5/10.

10:34 pm

gremlinn

(Didn't have to look any of that up! Read about blood cell types just a couple days ago, fresh in memory.)
