saintfranny

"be snappy" - oh you make me laugh JC

1:23 am

J. C.

Why is that funny?

1:23 am

jillibus

I have a link to a resizing site in my bio

1:23 am

m9f9l

there... I put it in the correct place. doh!

1:23 am

saintfranny

It just struck me funny - picturing you saying it

1:24 am

J. C.

Ah yes - very good, m9. Not bad at all. ;)

1:24 am

jillibus

m9, yours is back to the guy now!

1:24 am

m9f9l

i didn't change it.

1:25 am

jillibus

oh right, m9 -- it was west who posted a clue.

1:25 am

J. C.

Yes. Rather incongruous with your bio. :P One might think you're male at first glance - seeing you in the 'chog'.

1:25 am

J. C.

Then they might think I'm a dog - albeit a clever one.

1:26 am

m9f9l

yes. I'm male and look JUST like Alan Rickman!

1:26 am

jillibus

oh, NOW I see what the Lamborghini is about, duh!

1:26 am

m9f9l

there. changed my icon

1:27 am

m9f9l

well aren't you a clever one??

1:28 am

J. C.

Yes. Well, I needed a word to start the game off and couldn't think of anything in particular. When I logged into Yahoo! there was a news item about them. Perfect.

1:28 am

m9f9l

much better than Venessa's beard.

1:28 am

J. C.

'Vanessa'.

1:29 am

m9f9l

oh. right.

1:29 am

m9f9l

Sorry Vanessa!

1:29 am

jillibus

How long do we have to make up an acro, JC? It's almost bedtime here...

1:29 am

J. C.

Until midnight tomorrow, BST. Or thereabouts. :P

J. C.

Plenty of time...

westford

1:33 am

westford

may anyone play?

1:34 am

westford

1:35 am

m9f9l

your icon.

1:35 am

jillibus

1:36 am

m9f9l

wow..and that's what I was cluing! amazing!!LOL

1:36 am

m9f9l

oh we were just emailing trying to come up with an acronym for lamborghini

1:36 am

jillibus

the game is acromania -- ACROMANIA! Daily word is: "LAMBORGHINI". Expand it as if it's an acronym, into a sentence or phrase where each word begins with each letter of the originating word and has relevance to its meaning. Post your acros in the Guestbook! (in Yahoo)

1:36 am

westford

oh m that's beautiful

1:37 am

J. C.

Why are you pasting that here, Jill?

1:37 am

westford

oh dear didn't mean to cause trouble

1:38 am

jillibus

because west asked what it was, JC

1:38 am

J. C.

Anyone who may be connected to it, yes. To answer your question, westford.

1:38 am

westford

I can't yahoo. good luck to all who can

1:38 am

J. C.

Yes. I didn't see that at first - had to scroll down.

1:38 am

J. C.

I was just surprised to see it!

1:38 am

J. C.

Why can't you? Anyone can.

1:38 am

jillibus

Why can't you Yahoo, west?

1:39 am

J. C.

Your initials are NB, is that correct - westford?

1:40 am

J. C.

2:10 am

Haz1558

I saw it, ruby, it was very clever.

2:11 am

FMitch

It was a great icon wasn't it ruby. Did hubby enjoy the day and how long is yr son staying?

2:11 am

rubyfoo

he loved it and the birthday was an overall success

2:11 am

FMitch

Oh and hello Haz!!

2:11 am

Haz1558

That's good. Good morning, FM. It's tipping it down here.

2:12 am

rubyfoo

husband and son are out at the garden center buying dirt, dog food, etc, so I will have alittle peace as it is very hard having two "typeA" only sons in the same house

2:12 am

FMitch

Here too unfortunately.

2:12 am

rubyfoo

"ata's" fossils were also a big success and I found him a fossil guide in French to keep him busy

2:12 am

rubyfoo

"ata's" fossils were also a big success and I found him a fossil guide in French to keep him busy

2:13 am

rubyfoo

gloomy here but there are still roses, so I can't complain

2:14 am

Haz1558

The Ryder Cup gets under way today - they'll need canoes rather than golf buggies.

2:15 am

FMitch

lol v true, saw a bit on the BBC this a.m and it was a tad inclement to say the least.

2:17 am

Haz1558

We had a friend once who had paid pretty dearly for a round of golf at an expensive club. He made the mistake of wearing an aran sweater. As the rainy day progressed, the sweater got more and more waterlogged, but he carried on, thinking he needed to get his money's worth. The sweater reached his knees by the end of the round...

2:17 am

FMitch

to work :(

2:18 am

FMitch

LOL

2:18 am

varumba

hagd mitch

2:19 am

Haz1558

It would have weighed a ton as well, those things are heavy even when dry.

2:19 am

rubyfoo

bye FM

2:19 am

FMitch

my posts seem to be going astray as my comment at 2.17 was the end of another posting?!

2:19 am

Haz1558

See you later, FM. (Is there a conspiracy to silence FM?)

2:19 am

varumba

yeah mine rarely make it at the same time i type them

2:20 am

FMitch

but it seems like you all saw it and I didnt - wasn't planning on leaving just yet!

2:20 am

rubyfoo

airial

2:21 am

Haz1558

Maybe your computer has been trained to read your subconscious mind and to post it in here.

2:21 am

rubyfoo

sorry slinking off to pb for some more coffee

2:21 am

rubyfoo

and a Xanax!

2:21 am

FMitch

God forbid Haz, that really would make for some interesting chat!

2:22 am

Haz1558

Wouldn't it? We'd be out on our collective ears.

2:22 am

FMitch

Imagine if we could only type the truth in here....

2:22 am

Haz1558

So, what were you trying to say? What came before the 'to work'?

2:23 am

rubyfoo

it would be too hard to type untruths and then remember them.....

2:23 am

Haz1558

We'll not go there, FM, my diplomacy diploma would be torn up.

2:23 am

FMitch

Umm ... I what I was saying was that I had finished sucy duck and the grid which meant I had to get on with work.

2:24 am

Haz1558

Ah! Is sucky duck tolerable today?

2:24 am

FMitch

totally

2:24 am

Haz1558

Well, that's good, I may give it a whirl later. I've still got to get this finished first.

2:24 am

FMitch

and I can be smug as I have also done all my month end billing.

2:25 am

rubyfoo

*poof*

2:25 am

varumba

bye ruby

2:25 am

Haz1558

Bye, ruby.

2:25 am

FMitch

one of the benefits of waking up well before the crack of dawn.

2:25 am

Haz1558

So you just sit back and wait for the money to come rolling in.

2:27 am

FMitch

yup - whilst I take a nap to make up for waking up too flipping early - I am going to sue the BBC as I woke up with one of their promo jingles going round and round and round :(

2:27 am

Haz1558

They'll probably consider that a success.

2:28 am

FMitch

I know.
It's the one they are using for the new Strictly Come dancing series.

2:29 am

Haz1558

I actually know some of the contestants this time.

2:29 am

FMitch

personally or just generally?

2:30 am

Haz1558

Oh, personally, you know me, I mix with all sorts. Okay, I've met Ann Widdicombe.

2:31 am

Haz1558

And fair enough, it was at a charity lunch and we exchanged about two words, but it all counts.

2:31 am

FMitch

lol. Can't wait to see how they all perform.

2:32 am

Haz1558

I don't think Miss Widdicombe will take herself too seriously.

2:32 am

grandy

hi gang.. I am down to one the na 4,4 between the old women and the temple... but can not see room for a word... please help i need sleep

2:33 am

varumba

hi grandy... don't have it sry

2:33 am

varumba

hi sprite

2:33 am

FMitch

Ditto, and she took time off from practice to follow the Popes tour. Felicity Kendall seems to be getting much press and I have to say looking good for an older woman.

2:33 am

Haz1558

Good morning, sprite.

2:33 am

varumba

wd grandy :)

2:33 am

sprite

nice to see you all

2:34 am

Haz1558

Yes, Felicity Kendal has managed to stay youthful looking but not silly or surprised as in the wind-tunnel plastic surgery face.

2:34 am

FMitch

grandy - shortform for female grandparents

2:34 am

Haz1558

sprite, ruby was thrilled with the icon. Did she get speaking to you yesterday?

2:35 am

FMitch

Morning spritey sprite

2:37 am

FMitch

ruby was talking about yr icon earlier this a.m sprite and saying that hubby like it too.

2:37 am

Haz1558

I'm sure they are, but at least it was positive.

2:37 am

sprite

3:11 am

varumba

i can't figure out the last sh4/5.... doesn't make sense: sh5/12 before starts with shor..... how can i make a sh4/5 after that?

3:12 am

Haz1558

Maybe use the letter after q?

3:12 am

sprite

it starts with 3 consonants, varumba

3:12 am

varumba

i tried... not working

3:12 am

sprite

works fine here

3:12 am

Haz1558

Someone's high-pitched voice might be described as sh**ll.

ooooooooooooooh duh me... i was only seeing the words going downwards... hadn't seen the other vowel going across

3:21 am

varumba

tx haz and sprite

3:21 am

Haz1558

One of the characters in the Wizard of Oz, compound word.

3:21 am

varumba

yep :)

3:23 am

sprite

I actually found some compounds all by myself. Do you think I am improving? Or just lucky?

3:24 am

Haz1558

Oh, you're improving, no doubt about it. The next big test will be compound words starting with k.

3:24 am

sprite

whaaaaaaa! *runs away screaming, holding head with both hands*

3:25 am

sprite

katmandu. kissman. kneecap.

3:25 am

Haz1558

Kennelmaid - what Spangle needs.

3:26 am

sprite

LOL

3:26 am

sprite

oh... I called Spangle Springer earlier, didn't I? How stupid.

3:26 am

sprite

am sorry

3:27 am

Haz1558

No problem, I knew who you meant!

3:27 am

sprite

yeah, but jeezzz.

3:28 am

Haz1558

It's fine, honestly.

3:28 am

sprite

one of these days I will call Terra King Charles.

3:30 am

Haz1558

I'm used to a husband who thinks one thing but who says another.

3:31 am

Haz1558

He calls the remote control 'the monitor' - to the point where we all call it the monitor as well.

3:31 am

sprite

it makes for funny conversations sometimes. My kids think it is hilarious.

3:32 am

sprite

hehehe if you can't beat them...

3:32 am

varumba

oh i got a compound word!

3:33 am

Haz1558

Absolutely. He regularly gets days wrong, names incorrect - there must be some part of his brain that doesn't quite get joined up to his mouth.

3:33 am

sprite

yayy varumba!

3:33 am

varumba

i do find those hard too

3:33 am

varumba

^^^^ does the victory dance

3:33 am

sprite

they are really hard to spot.

3:33 am

varumba

lol haz

3:34 am

sprite

with me it is a side effect of medication and it annoys me. Used to be proud of my language skills, grin. Now I tell the children to put their curtain in the shed... then realise something is wrong because they are laughing... and then I can correct it, most of the time.

3:35 am

varumba

didn't know a medication could do that! that must be frustrating

3:36 am

sprite

yeah it is, but at least it is a funny side effect. It is just as Haz said, lol... like some part of the brain is not connected to the mouth.

3:37 am

Haz1558

Another compound word beloved of snoozy felines and humans -ca6/24.

3:37 am

sprite

*smug* I got that one.

4:01 am

lynxxx

I am pleased, I just read an email from Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery giving me some info about the artist of the painting I bought a little while ago. Know I know a little more about her. How times have changed - happily - as the artist gave up an apparently pretty successful career when she married in the 50's.

4:02 am

varumba

tx sprite

4:02 am

one of the good changes in time, lyn. Very nice you got more info on the painting.

4:10 am

Haz1558

Hello, FM.

4:11 am

FMitch

It is pleuting beacup ici a c'est moment :(

4:12 am

Haz1558

Ah, il pleut a verse. Watch out that you don't get trempe jusqu'aux os.

4:13 am

Haz1558

The French get wet to their bones, not just their skin.

4:13 am

FMitch

lol

4:14 am

FMitch

Just about made it back in time to miss the worst of it. HAd to do shopping etc and post get well card to a dear friend who has had 2 stents inserted.

4:14 am

FMitch

Hate to say it but as soon as I heard I thought 'argh that is the babble word I always miss'.

4:15 am

Haz1558

Those stents seem to be used more and more often, so much technology in medicine these days.

4:15 am

FMitch

Hopefully he is going to be OK, all sound v positive so far.

4:16 am

Haz1558

They seem to be a great success, my aunt has a couple.

4:17 am

FMitch

I've trated myself for the weekend, have crispy duck with pancakes etc, Lamb shanks and chicken breast wrapped in pancetta plus peca tarts for dessert - should keep me going till Monday at the least *grin*

4:18 am

FMitch

there should be a comma after lamb shanks by the way.

4:18 am

Haz1558

Sounds great!

4:18 am

lynxxx

Not doing too tough then FM?

4:19 am

lynxxx

Doesn't it though

4:19 am

FMitch

LOL lynxxx, just finished balancing the books and thought I deserved a treat or two.

4:19 am

FMitch

Am actually thinking about taking a holiday!

4:20 am

lynxxx

Nice! where to?

4:20 am

Haz1558

How long has it been since you went anywhere?

4:21 am

FMitch

The world ... ... I don't know just toying with the idea at the mo.

Haz it has been so long since I went anywhere that wasn't connected with a business trip I really can't remember.

4:23 am

Haz1558

You could do a grand tour of the Babble Empire.

4:23 am

FMitch

Starting in Ballymena :)

4:24 am

Haz1558

We'd need to order some better weather for you, that's for sure! Nowhere looks its best when drippy.

4:24 am

Atalante

no, starting in Kent!!

4:24 am

Haz1558

Hooray! She's survived Oxonmoot!

4:24 am

FMitch

OMG!!!!! ATA!!!!!!!!

4:25 am

FMitch

Hi dear how did it go? and how are you?

4:25 am

lynxxx

Nope. Bad start, you wouldn't be able to move after eating all those cakes

4:25 am

Atalante

only just, everyone I know that was in Oxford last weekend has been horribly bug-ridden this week, including me

4:25 am

lynxxx

hi Ata!

4:25 am

Atalante

germ-ridden lol

4:25 am

Haz1558

Oh, poor Ata. You're recovered now?

4:25 am

FMitch

oh - dubious food to blame?

4:26 am

Atalante

well I feel alive today, which is a good start. no, just coldy / fluey bug

4:26 am

FMitch

Ata could come with me on my world tour :)

4:27 am

Atalante

hobbit too?

4:27 am

FMitch

Hobbit could accompany us for the European leg.

4:27 am

lynxxx

what did Sily do wrong?

4:27 am

Atalante

she doesn't like travelling

4:28 am

FMitch

I will train Sily to sit on my head and look like a fur hat.

4:28 am

Atalante

apart from Switzerland. Hobbit ca't go to Switzerland

4:28 am

FMitch

how come Ata?

4:28 am

Haz1558

What's wrong with Switzerland - does she startle at cuckoo clocks?

4:28 am

lynxxx

not good on skis?

4:28 am

FMitch

Did she get done for a bar brawl or what?

4:29 am

lynxxx

maybe she hasn't perfected her yodelling

4:29 am

Atalante

Switz isn't in the EU pet passport scheme

4:29 am

Haz1558

Did she write a nasty letter about Roger Federer?

4:29 am

FMitch

I much prefer our suggestions :)

4:29 am

Atalante

she could get arrested coming back out of there!!

4:29 am

lynxxx

You could all go and visit Ruby - she would be sooo happy

4:30 am

FMitch

Hobbit doesn't poo Triangles *giggle*

4:30 am

Haz1558

But if she had a good disguise?

4:30 am

Atalante

me too lol

4:30 am

Atalante

Hobbit would soon sort Max out

4:30 am

lynxxx

oh FM !!

4:30 am

Haz1558

Could she be dressed up as a giant Toblerone?

4:30 am

lynxxx

and then she could work on Ruby's husband

4:30 am

FMitch

sorry lynxxx, hope I didnt let you down there.

4:30 am

Atalante

she's not that big! a mini giant toblerone maybe

4:31 am

Haz1558

Or maybe a pygmy goat. They love goats in Switzerland, Heidi was full of them.

4:31 am

FMitch

How can you have a mini /giant anything?

4:31 am

Atalante

roasted or grilled?

4:31 am

Atalante

ask a small giant anteater

4:32 am

FMitch

It is good to see you back here Ata ((()))

4:32 am

Haz1558

No! Living. Stick some horns on her, teach her to bleat, you walk beside her dressed as a goat herd - they'll never know.

4:32 am

Atalante

only when you lot are here :)

4:32 am

lynxxx

actually just noticed husband has some lumps of goat in the fridge - ugh from me

4:33 am

Atalante

dressed as a goat herd???!!

4:33 am

Haz1558

Yes, goats can't just wander about anywhere. You need lederhosen and a jaunty hat.

4:33 am

Haz1558

Study up those Hummel figures for inspiration.

4:34 am

Atalante

ohhh goat herder. I thought you were saying I was to dress as a whole flock of goats

4:34 am

Haz1558

No, that would be too hard. They'd get suspicious.

4:35 am

lynxxx

and if no-one else there you can be a lonely goatherd

4:35 am

Haz1558

Whereas a single goat herder in charge of a single small black pygmy goat wouldn't raise any eyebrows at all.

4:35 am

FMitch

lol lynxxx

4:36 am

lynxxx

single goatherd with a pronounced limp even

4:36 am

Haz1558

Ooooh yes! You could claim to be auditioning for a part in the Sound of Music. FM could enter dressed in a nun's outfit. Sily could be smuggled in underneath.

4:37 am

Haz1558

This is turning into a masterplan. I hope Switzerland doesn't have spies tuning into internet chat rooms or they'll get advance warning...

4:37 am

Atalante

oh dear .... noone would want to hear me sing

4:37 am

FMitch

Me in a nuns outfit ... OK if you insist.
So who should fill the rest of the cast?

4:37 am

Haz1558

But the Swiss are neutral, they probably don't have spies, so I think we're safe.

4:37 am

Atalante

Haz would really have to be Maria, sorry FM

4:38 am

Haz1558

Vi would have to be brought along to sing. One rousing chorus of 'Climb every mountain' and the border guards would scatter.

4:38 am

Atalante

she could carry off aprons and looking domesticated better :P

4:38 am

FMitch

Thats fine by me!

4:39 am

FMitch

Vi was on yesterday did you see her?

4:39 am

lynxxx

next she'll be wanting JB to judge who will be the best Maria

4:39 am

Atalante

oooo there's an idea

4:39 am

Haz1558

I caught the ta4/4 end but didn't have time to say hello. Nice to see her!

4:40 am

FMitch

So HAz is going to be Maria - who do we cast for the rest of the 'family'?

4:40 am

Haz1558

So, is that the plan to get into Switzerland? A sound of music mass audition? I know S O M was in Austria, but a bit of poetic licence is acceptable.

4:41 am

Haz1558

Anniebrooke should still have her flying nun's costume, so she could either be Mother Superior or one of the normal nuns.

4:41 am

FMitch

ruby needs a part as she is close to the Swiss borders so could come in handy.

4:42 am

FMitch

Inspired Haz - Annie is Mother Sup.

4:42 am

Haz1558

Hooray!

4:42 am

Haz1558

And she's so diplomatic anyway, she'll smooth over any problems.

4:44 am

FMitch

We will need a backing choir (but lets not tell Vi about that).

4:45 am

Atalante

noooo, thats a secret

4:45 am

FMitch

Oh darn gotta go, got a conference call at 11.00
Great chatting and see you soon :)

4:45 am

Atalante

bye dear!

4:46 am

lynxxx

bye FM

4:46 am

Haz1558

A conference call taking precedence over smuggling Hobbit into Switzerland. We know where FM's priorities lie.

4:46 am

Haz1558

Well, we'll know who to blame if it all goes wrong.

4:46 am

Haz1558

Who do we blame?

4:46 am

Haz1558

FM!

4:47 am

FMitch

ME!

4:47 am

Atalante

all the dogs can be goats. would Spangle allow herself to be caprificated?

4:47 am

Haz1558

Exactly! You're like Uriah Heap, you know your place...

4:48 am

Haz1558

I'm not sure, she might be persuaded provided goats don't have to like cats.

4:48 am

FMitch

*sticks tongue out just like LoriP would if she were here*
*poof*

4:48 am

Atalante

do you like my new word? caprificated. I don't think they do. I think goats would bleat at cats

4:48 am

Haz1558

Bye!

4:49 am

Haz1558

I think goats just bleat at everything.

4:49 am

lynxxx

phantom: hamfisted

4:50 am

Haz1558

Nice long phantom, lynxxx.

4:51 am

Haz1558

Did you get your picture sold, Ata?

4:52 am

Atalante

yep :)

4:53 am

lynxxx

congrats Ata

4:54 am

Haz1558

Oh, well done!

4:54 am

Haz1558

That's you AND FM raking in the money.

4:58 am

Haz1558

And is Hobbit's eye all better?

4:59 am

Atalante

when I can do that regularly, I'll be happier!

4:59 am

Atalante

yes :) it took about 8 days for the atropine effect to go though!

5:00 am

lynxxx

did she scratch her eye?

5:00 am

Haz1558

I'm glad she's on the mend. No need for eye patches?

5:00 am

Atalante

yep, ran through some brambles while chasing pheasants

5:01 am

Atalante

she's obviously hyper-reactive to atropine

5:01 am

Haz1558

But veterinary medicine pulled her through (not the brambles, the trauma of corneal injury)

5:02 am

Atalante

of course

5:02 am

Atalante

the wonders of vetinary medicine!

5:02 am

Atalante

hobbit is helping me type

5:02 am

Haz1558

Does she wear goggles now?

5:03 am

Atalante

she should do :)

5:03 am

Haz1558

Some of those catalogues are bound to have something fetching for the adventurous dog.

5:04 am

Atalante

http://doggles.com/

5:04 am

lynxxx

maybe I could get the same for Stew...he constantly has red eye/s from sticking his face into bushes

5:04 am

Haz1558

Trust you!

5:05 am

Atalante

I just typed in dog goggles to google!

5:05 am

Haz1558

You're fast with the goggle googling.

5:07 am

lynxxx

and they come with a choice of 8 different colored lenses!

5:07 am

Haz1558

Ghastliness, they sell pet necklaces.

5:07 am

Atalante

think Hobbit would like the pink lenses

5:08 am

Haz1558

Have a look at the hats!

5:09 am

lynxxx

I think I'll get the chrome frame with smoke lenses - matches Stews coloring

5:09 am

lynxxx

No = no hats - too silly

5:09 am

Atalante

Hobbit must have a pink stetson

5:11 am

lynxxx

Real pearls - strung on metal cord. Well, I couldn't get that, metal cord around the neck is a bit dangerous

5:12 am

Haz1558

If any real pearls come into this house - I'M having them.

5:14 am

lynxxx

you don't want them, those dyed freshwater ones

5:15 am

Haz1558

I'll take anything if it's been in water and near an oyster.

5:16 am

Atalante

lol me too, I love pearls

5:16 am

lynxxx

Time to organise dinner - just as well as not seeing any words. See you later

5:17 am

Haz1558

See you later, lynxxx, good to talk.

5:17 am

Haz1558

Pearls just seem to suit every age, don't they?

5:18 am

Atalante

they do. I have some black ones and some pink ones!

5:18 am

Haz1558

And let's face it, if they're good enough for the Queen, they're good enough for us.

5:18 am

Atalante

except I need to get my pink ones restrung. ugh.

5:23 am

Haz1558

Well, I really must be getting on with things. Lovely to see you back and hope you continue to feel a bit more human again.

5:23 am

Atalante

me too .... and I need to go and buy SIly some cat food

5:24 am

Haz1558

Toodle-oo!

8:45 am

Haz1558

donna, NBT stands for no blank tiles. It means that the player has at least one word from every tile where it's possible to have a word.

8:46 am

donnab3012

ty Haz

8:46 am

Boobear

hi Haz

8:46 am

Haz1558

It's not really an accurate measurement of anything, but some players like to aim to get it before they move on to complete the grid. NBS means no blank stats, meaning that they have one word of each length possible.

8:46 am

Haz1558

The NBT/NBS thing is comparatively new.

8:47 am

Haz1558

Hello, Boo and everyone.

8:50 am

I'm okay with knowing that Australia is ahead of us and that you're behind, but it gets complicated when some people are more behind than others.

8:51 am

Haz1558

We're having all the seasons every half hour, Jiving. It started out wet, then it got sunny, now it's windy and looking like rain again.

9:50 am

bichon

Scrabs, news from the bunny at my g'daughter's daycare. Lillie had a birthday party with vegetable cake. Oy

9:51 am

Scrabbler

So cute! Like a big pile of greens? My bunnies dive into a plate of greens twice daily.

9:52 am

bichon

No, actually a cake baked of veggies

9:52 am

Scrabbler

Did the bunny eat some?

9:52 am

JBV

hi, scrabbs! I'll invite you and your bunnies here for a nice plate of dandelion salad! (I picked a beautiful bunch yesterday from a flower pot on my front steps - delicious!)

9:53 am

bichon

Yes, the bunny and kids had a great time

9:53 am

bichon

The aa 5 is a weird word

9:53 am

Scrabbler

My bunnies love dandelion greens. I have to go to a different store than my usual to get those.

9:54 am

jbp

i could just send you some from my yard, Scrabbs. '-)

9:54 am

Scrabbler

TY, B. Double vowel + consonant + double vowel.

9:54 am

Judi

Does anyone know where I can get purslane (seed or sprouts). I've been looking all over for it. Bought it once at the Farmer's Market a few years ago and haven't seen it since.

9:54 am

bichon

In the summer I have plenty of it growing in my yard

9:54 am

Scrabbler

I have dandelions in my yard and I see it all over, but I never pick it that way.

9:55 am

bichon

I never let it get to the seed stage though. It's actually the wild form of portulaca

9:55 am

Scrabbler

Never heard of purslane.

9:55 am

JBV

well, since this was in the flower pot, It was "clean" and so beautiful I couldn't resist

9:55 am

jbp

i think you have to get the greens before it flowers

9:56 am

Judi

It's delicious, Scrabbler. Tastes a bit like spinach.

9:56 am

Scrabbler

I should grow it that way. And, actually, picking dandelions here would be organic!

9:57 am

bichon

I have more weeds than grass. Lots of plantains

9:57 am

Judi

We are surrounded by woods, but I've never seen it. I'm probably not looking in the right places.

9:57 am

Scrabbler

Wild strawberries have taken over most of my front + back yards.

9:58 am

jbp

where are you located scrabs?

9:58 am

Judi

I have a problem with those too. I'm trying to dig all the wild strawberries out so my chocolate mint takes over. I've got it about 1/2 way so far.

9:58 am

jbp

my husband will be out in Jamestown NY next week, and I was just wondering if that's near where you are?

9:58 am

amelu0218

I have some of that, too, scrabs... ever since Katrina blew through.

9:58 am

Scrabbler

With 88 left I must get ready for our campfire cookout in the Erie County Forest. jbp, I live in southeastern Erie County, NY!

9:59 am

jbp

well, i'll have him wave on his way by then!

9:59 am

Scrabbler

Alright, I must pack up the food + gear. Bye.

Oct in Fla is usually wonderful

10:51 am

redturtlehead

My Uncle passed away, and the funaerl is in one day...so I can not go, but..do I send flowers to my aunt at home, or the funeral parlour or both?

10:51 am

crosshair

10:51 am

crosshair

but i have been to just 1 funeral

10:51 am

Riverdance

I have always sent them to the funeral home - sorry for your loss red

10:51 am

redshoes

red, check to see if she wants flowers or prefers a donation to a charity. If she wants flowers, send to the funeral home.

10:52 am

Boobear

oh i am so sorry red

10:52 am

Aloyisius

oh, so sorry redt.. funeral parlor, and any that relatives wish to take home will go home

10:52 am

crosshair

my condolance red

10:52 am

Riverdance

doesnt make it any less

10:52 am

redturtlehead

WHen my grandfather died, I sent the flowers directly to Grandma because Grandpa was a pastor and the serice was huge.

10:53 am

Aloyisius

that makes sense

10:53 am

redturtlehead

Or perhaps maybe I was not that close to him. I am feeling sad for my Aunt, but very relieved that he is no longer hurting.

10:53 am

bichon

10:54 am

redturtlehead

OK, I am off to pick out some funeral flowers. and bichon it is OK, I am just trying to find out what to do for flowers... Poof!!!

10:54 am

I'm overwhelmed at the moment trying to start learning gimp.

12:04 pm

12:04 pm

12:05 pm

m9f9l

yw

12:05 pm

periwinkle

ca6/27 pls

12:05 pm

wht

I presume that is gimp the imageing software and not the gimp from summer camp.

12:06 pm

m9f9l

yes!

12:07 pm

m9f9l

was taking pics this morning. I need to get practiced in gimp before the wedding. I figure that gives me about 5 months...

12:07 pm

m9f9l

ca 6/27 is someone's icon.. I think jilli's. It's a waitress on wheels!

12:07 pm

ItalianGreyhound

ca - like an auto valet

12:08 pm

m9f9l

just found online book "beginning GIMP: From novice to professional. YAY for the net!

12:08 pm

wht

Now I have an image of a ca6/27 at the ca7/32

12:08 pm

m9f9l

I think I have to have another application in order to look at RAW in gimp.... odd...

12:10 pm

m9f9l

is she taking a ca6/24??

12:12 pm

wht

No, they work too hard there. The only way to get a ca6/24 is if you are already under a ca5/12.

12:13 pm

wht

Is Min taking notes? I think we have the beginning of a clues story here.

12:17 pm

m9f9l

yes because resting under a ca5/12 is WAY longer than a ca6/24!!!

12:17 pm

m9f9l

(see? I used the OTHER ca5/12!LOL)

12:18 pm

m9f9l

12:58 pm

cosdem

lol

12:58 pm

cosdem

we made our own wedding invites but they were tacky lol

12:58 pm

cosdem

cosdem

we made the meals (it was all appetizers only).. and had a potluck as well

1:02 pm

m9f9l

I've taken pics.. and done a little processing.. but picasa just wasnt' enough for me. I want to learn about layers. and to be able to do noise reduction and such.

1:02 pm

cosdem

it was pretty successful.. the only expensive thing was the priest and she only cost 100 dollars.. we held it in our backyard

1:02 pm

m9f9l

well the officiator will be free.

1:02 pm

m9f9l

and so will the reception hall

1:03 pm

cosdem

1:04 pm

m9f9l

She's buying the food.. but I think she's assigning out the preparation... people with crockpots.LOL

1:05 pm

m9f9l

yikes!

1:05 pm

m9f9l

how long have you been married?

1:05 pm

m9f9l

Elina. We were considering it as a name.. and we went to the rose garden in Seattle.. we were talking names and wandering around.. and I saw this gorgeous yellow rose... and when I looked.. it was the Elina rose! and spelled just like we were thinking of!

4:10 pm

westford

4:15 pm

westford

our cousin's daughter is Skye and she just named her new baby Autumn..we thought baby's middle name would be Skye

4:15 pm

westford

wouldn't that have been pretty?

4:16 pm

cosdem

in7 makes me think of "i wanta fanta"

4:17 pm

westford

do they even make that anymore?

4:17 pm

brid

did you share just so we'd all have that commercial stuck in our head too?

4:17 pm

redturtlehead

its very popular in Africa West. hello all.

4:18 pm

redturtlehead

this grid is not my pal.

4:18 pm

westford

does Coca Cola make it?

4:18 pm

redturtlehead

i have no idea, but maybe?

4:18 pm

brid

yeah.

4:19 pm

m9f9l

if Gage were a boy, he would have been Autumn! And Elina wanted his middle name to be Star.

4:19 pm

cosdem

4:19 pm

westford

they'll have Coke on Mars I'm sure

4:19 pm

m9f9l

4:19 pm

4:20 pm

westford

slanty letter

4:20 pm

brid

4:21 pm

m9f9l

autumn daisy... hmm... not feelin' it.

4:21 pm

westford

I know but not my kid lol

4:21 pm

m9f9l

4:22 pm

m9f9l

4:22 pm

cosdem

ohh thanks!

4:22 pm

redturtlehead

well, remember the child will probably not be called by both names all the time.

4:22 pm

westford

hope not

4:22 pm

brid

only when in trouble.

4:22 pm

m9f9l

I hope her last name doesn't start with a D!LOL

4:23 pm

westford

the mother, Skye would always introduce herself as..my name is Skye and my parents are not hippies

4:23 pm

m9f9l

that's funny.

4:23 pm

westford

starts with L

4:23 pm

westford

almost as bad lol

4:24 pm

westford

Skye is pretty common nowadays

4:24 pm

m9f9l

yeah.. when I am naming a child i go through this long process in my head.. how does it sound for a baby? how does it sound for an adolescent? How does it sound for an adult and very old person. What are the initials? what kind of nicknames might happen? How will it look on a resume??

4:25 pm

westford

don't end the first name and start the last name with the same letter

4:26 pm

m9f9l

how is the rhythm of the syllables...

4:26 pm

m9f9l

How does it sound with the other names in the family...

4:27 pm

westford

our first daughter married a guy whose last name starts with U...her mil absolutely refused to have any of her grandchildren's name start with F

4:27 pm

westford

5:38 pm

dcseain

she rejects anything other than her sippy cup or boob

5:38 pm

lynxxx

same here - was trying to be 'american '!

dcseain

she gnaws on our knuckles and the toy lion that her Grandma Linda knitted and put together for her.

5:39 pm

Kallia

dcseain

wonderful texture on the lion that i think must massage her gums nicely

5:40 pm

Kallia

yep coming to the teething stage

5:40 pm

dcseain

6:38 pm

mmmmm. cake, what cake? *innocent mama look*

6:38 pm

stidmama

I am waiting for my supervising professor from the college to show up, she's running late... I am SOOOO tired. And this is going to be a weekend that needs a LOT of work to be done.

6:39 pm

stidmama

how are you wildcat?

6:40 pm

wildcat17

about the same ... my days are so busy and I know I'm forgetting to do so much, but I just don't have time. I refused to stay more than 11 hours at school every day.

6:40 pm

wildcat17

or go in every weekend and work for hours

6:41 pm

stidgmere

Hello you two, talking shop?

6:41 pm

stidmama

I was up until one this morning and up again before 5 to get to the school -- trying to nail down the rubrics for the BIG PROJECT I start teaching on MONDAY. *sigh* Being sick last week and weekend put me behind, and then my cooperating teacher asked me to move up the date I give my instructions.

6:41 pm

wildcat17

apparently so.. hi smere

6:41 pm

stidmama

*moves over to make space for mother in the PB*

6:41 pm

wildcat17

I may be joining you too .. scoot over

6:42 pm

stidmama

and of course I have bitten off more than I can chew, but oh well.

6:42 pm

wildcat17

you have to take care of yourself stid ... no one else will do it for you

6:42 pm

stidgmere

Oh, sorry, I had that word already, too. Should be more circumspect.

6:42 pm

stidgmere

Why 6 puppets? Seems arbitrary.

6:42 pm

stidmama

yep. I know. there is a lot going on, and I don't have enough awareness to realize what's coming up.

6:42 pm

redturtlehead

hi there stid's and wild. Stidmam, are you all better?

6:43 pm

wildcat17

that seems to be my problem, too, tho I haven't asked for any of this. it's all been bestowed upon me with those famous words, "could you please take care of this?"

6:43 pm

wildcat17

hi red

6:43 pm

wildcat17

I feel like a hamster either running behind my wheel or being run over by it

6:43 pm

stidmama

If I am not specific at this age (middle school) I run the risk of a student or parent -- or administrator -- getting bent out of shape because I am being "arbitrary"

6:44 pm

stidgmere

You need to say no and mean it. I never could but I understand that takes care of lots of those additional jobs.

6:44 pm

stidmama

or capricious... or indecisive... or....

6:44 pm

wildcat17

that can happen at any age. they all want it handed to them. no one wants to work for anything anymore

6:44 pm

stidmama

gee wild. N.... O.... or at least, "does this come with a stipend?"

6:44 pm

wildcat17

usually not an option, and no it doesn't

6:45 pm

stidmama

and it's not 6 puppets, but 6 puppets or props/pieces of scenery...

6:45 pm

stidmama

bummer. stipends are apparently rather motivating.

6:45 pm

stidmama

oh, that coffee is HOT.

6:45 pm

stidgmere

Ah, that is a little better I think. props I mean.

6:46 pm

wildcat17

I'm sure they are, but they don't happen in this district

6:46 pm

stidmama

yes, will you check for me to be sure I have been clear that it's and OR situation rather than an AND?

6:46 pm

stidmama

wild, what grade do you teach again?

6:47 pm

wildcat17

special ed, K-5

6:47 pm

stidmama

ah. may I ask a question (generic)?

6:47 pm

wildcat17

and in addition to my own caseload, I am apparently the most qualified person on my campus right now to handle the dyslexia program, so I'm teaching that as well

6:47 pm

wildcat17

sure

6:48 pm

stidmama

how hard is it to "push" a special ed student when they are mainstreamed in a non fully academic class? I have a LOT of special ed students in one of the classes, and I hope to get them engaged and participating, but I don't want to be unrealistic about their work abilities.

6:49 pm

stidmama

I am having trouble sometimes distinguishing between that ennui so common to all middle schoolers and a true "overwhelmed" blankness

6:49 pm

stidmama

with some of them, the overwhelmed is easier to spot...

6:49 pm

wildcat17

it depends on each student and their capabilities. the best thing is to get them motivated and engaged, and then it's easier to separate the ones who really can't from the ones who just don't want to

6:49 pm

stidmama

it's an enrichment class, kids will "pass" as long as they participate so I don't have to worry about grades per se

6:50 pm

Bugsaw

Hello all. I came in on a topic that interests me....

6:50 pm

wildcat17

i expect a lot from my kids, but you have to get to know them first so they are realistic expectations.

6:50 pm

wildcat17

hi bugs

6:50 pm

stidmama

okay, thanks. then I will keep doing what I do and hoping that I am filling in some gaps.

6:50 pm

wildcat17

that's good

6:50 pm

stidmama

hey bugs! {{{bugs hugs}}}

6:50 pm

stidgmere

Hi bugs also from the NW.

6:50 pm

stidmama

you still have that crazy hairdo on, bugs! LOL

6:50 pm

wildcat17

they will all gain something from your lessons, no matter what the disability

6:51 pm

Bugsaw

Hi both stid people and wildcat.

6:51 pm

wildcat17

yvw

6:51 pm

stidmama

thanks wild. I was actually hoping you would say that! rofl... I need a few positive strokes today.

6:51 pm

Bugsaw

I haven't been Babbling for a few days stid and I just started today's puzzle so I haven't found a word yet.

6:51 pm

wildcat17

that's ok .. we all do sometimes. it's hard to feel encouraged when the class doesn't seem to "get it".

6:51 pm

wildcat17

leaving for the football game ... hope to bbl

6:51 pm

stidmama

I only just got online bugs... have had "one of those weeks"

6:52 pm

stidmama

enjoy wild!!! thanks again. :-D

6:52 pm

wildcat17

ty and yw :)

6:52 pm

Bugsaw

All kids are capable of something stidmama. You know that and you know that some kids have been so beaten down over the years knowing that their effort doesn't compare well with others. They become afraid to try.

6:53 pm

Bugsaw

What they need to do a little and see your pleased reaction along with a request for them to add to it for you. Eventually, risking just a little at a time, they see what they are capable of.

6:54 pm

redturtlehead

bugs, take my advice, leave this grid alone. it stinks.

6:54 pm

Bugsaw

by wild

6:54 pm

stidmama

I do know that bugs -- the varying abilities (from above 8th grade level to barely reading at 2nd and writing below that...) are part of what is confusing me. Some of the kids who seem to be really social and engaged are not producing at the same level as the others... and with pushing 40 kids in the class...

6:54 pm

stidmama

oh! BUGS! I did something right for one of them today! *remembering one bright spot*

6:54 pm

Bugsaw

oh boy red. There goes my stats in the toilet. I have 5 words and forgot I was going to a play tonight!

6:55 pm

stidgmere

It is not friendly like yesteday's grid with all the endings popping on the words. But I have had some success. When your goals are low, it is not hard to reach them red.

6:55 pm

Bugsaw

tell us the bright spot. Those are the ones we do this for

6:55 pm

redturtlehead

I have 42 left, but have hated this grid.

6:55 pm

stidmama

there is a group of four who barely function most days, and two of them were stalled on writing a single word, didn't want to move to the next item and had given up. I told them it was okay to write what they were thinking even though it seemed to be the same as an earlier answer, and that I expected them to get two more lines done before their time was up. THEY DID IT!!!!!

6:56 pm

Bugsaw

I love your dog, red. Does he run with you?

6:56 pm

redturtlehead

sometimes Bugs. He can not run long though, so he only comes for short runs, 2 miles or less.

6:56 pm

Bugsaw

exactly stid!! trust your instincts more.

6:57 pm

Bugsaw

2 miles is too long for me. I admire your determination so much, red

6:57 pm

stidmama

brb phone

6:57 pm

redturtlehead

thanks bugs, its a bit obsessive..

6:57 pm

stidmama

teacher is on the way!

6:58 pm

Bugsaw

have a good meeting stid. You will probably hear that you are overthinking yourself.

6:58 pm

stidmama

I have a couple minutes... help for NBT? just need that bottom row H. *pleading eyes*

6:59 pm

stidmama

Mother, were you able to finish reading those rubric thingys?

6:59 pm

stidmama

or thingies... *sigh* I am so tired I can't spell even when I CAN see!

6:59 pm

stidmama

I know I am overthinking, bugs... and yet in other areas that perhaps ought to be obvious I haven't even considered other parts!

7:00 pm

stidgmere

I read the rubrics and see they are quite exact. The writing seems to be covered but I don't see where the puppet people prepare.

7:00 pm

stidmama

*grumble* I have SO much EMPATHY for my students. Overwhelmedness is becoming my normal state.

7:00 pm

stidmama

Thanks mother -- the puppets and the story both draw from the initial draft and storyboard.

7:00 pm

Bugsaw

That comes with experience. You have never been in front of so many kids for so long before. Go easy on yourself.

7:01 pm

stidgmere

Okay, makes sense, mama. Enjoy your coffee.

7:01 pm

stidmama

ah, the state offices have closed... they are trouping in like little desperate lemmings... *grin* not like us teacher-types who fled WAY earlier!

7:02 pm

gracias, mamasita! Voy a llamarte manyana.

tceicher, Woo, woo! Great accomplishment for you!!

7:13 pm

tceicher

it was an interesting grid

7:15 pm

stidgmere

Yes, interesting is a good word. I shall wander off and start dinner. Hope the play is a good one Bugs. We'll watch some mysteries on tv tonight.

7:21 pm

redturtlehead

congrats tc. interesting is not the word I would like to use.

7:29 pm

tceicher

ok, let's use painful..............is that more descriptive?

7:30 pm

tceicher

I don't like grids with lots of "a" words they always seem obscure to me.

9:09 pm

lbdawger

i don't care if she's a hunter as long as it's for food and not for trophies.

9:10 pm

herinfernallady

It is for food and everything she does is done with the best interest of the animal. She is not cruel. She yelled at her ferrets for doing the wrong thing

9:10 pm

lbdawger

although, i suppose you could get lucky and get a trophy animal to eat

9:10 pm

lbdawger

she sounds like a good person. that's all that matters.
