J. C.

And no wonder you're in the Napa Valley area...

1:25 am

rururocks

well the other option is that I am a professional lush..lol

1:25 am

J. C.

As I understand? Vineyards and wineries there?

1:26 am

J. C.

Ah, well - been there, done that. :P

1:26 am

rururocks

lots of wineries and almost all vineyards

1:26 am

J. C.

Don't drink much anymore - cut way back and very limited now. Still enjoy a nice glass or two of a fine wine or a G&T or even the odd Heineken, though.

1:27 am

J. C.

Yes. Had that impression - knew it's the wine area.

1:27 am

rururocks

I actually don't drink much anymore either.. I love to smell it and taste and spit.

1:27 am

J. C.

Ah yes?

1:28 am

rururocks

I do enjoy French wine mostly and have a little while I am cooking dinner.. that's about it for me.

1:28 am

ursh

hello all

1:28 am

rururocks

I used to entertain more ..but have cut back on that due to age and the economy

1:28 am

J. C.

Ah. Just took a guess at a word and it worked, to grey out a tile. :)

1:28 am

J. C.

Hello, ursh...

1:28 am

rururocks

hi ursh

1:29 am

flosey

will someone please clue ni7 for me?

1:30 am

J. C.

I'm rather partial to Italian wines. I have a nice recipe that calls for red wine, which I've shared with Jill - she's made it several times. Wonder why? :P

1:30 am

rururocks

think the preservative on bacon flosey

1:30 am

J. C.

I would if I could, flosey. :/

1:30 am

flosey

thanks ru

1:30 am

J. C.

Ah. One of several good reasons not to eat it. ;)

1:30 am

rururocks

Bacon is loaded with ni7's

1:30 am

flosey

got it, for fireworks

1:31 am

J. C.

I got it too - but no wireforks for me yet. :/

1:31 am

rururocks

congrats flosey. you are really getting good at this game nowadays

1:31 am

J. C.

And flosey's in our Yahoo network, ruru. ;)

1:31 am

flosey

ty ru

1:31 am

J. C.

I'm dragging him there, slowly but surely, Flo...

1:31 am

flosey

yes JC but I don't spend much time there

1:32 am

J. C.

No. Others do, though. ;)

1:32 am

flosey

yes, lots of babblers now

1:32 am

J. C.

My better half and I are there, along with several of our personal friends and online friends and acquaintances - including several Babblers. :)

1:32 am

J. C.

Yes - I'm losing count, more and more keep joining. :)

1:32 am

flosey

I use it mainly for keeping track of bridge partners

1:33 am

J. C.

And it's fun - we can post photos and blogs, share things with our network.

1:33 am

J. C.

Ah...

1:33 am

J. C.

And I update my page almost daily - along with my Twitter page. I think some of my updates will make you laugh, Paul - or roll your eyes. :P

1:34 am

flosey

I really must make a point of checking it more frequently

1:34 am

rururocks

I am not that computer literate but I will give it a try

1:35 am

J. C.

Don't look at mine from yesterday - or still 'today' for you, Flo. :P When I was travelling by car from Brecon to Aberystwyth...

1:35 am

J. C.

And made the requisite joke about sheep. :P

1:35 am

J. C.

When in Wales...

1:35 am

flosey

ok, I'll pass it by

1:35 am

J. C.

Ian commented on that - and naturally, so did our Welsh friend Steve. :P And Jesse...

1:36 am

J. C.

1:36 am

rururocks

oh geez..

1:36 am

rururocks

1:36 am

J. C.

And once you connect with me, I'll have the 'Acrobot Host' connect with you, Paul - which will enable you to see and post in the guestbook of that page - where we play our acronym game. :)

1:37 am

J. C.

:P

1:37 am

J. C.

That's baaaaaaaaad, Paul. :P

1:37 am

flosey

1:37 am

rururocks

I should head to bed.... I can't find anymore words

1:37 am

1:38 am

dizgrannie

YEAH Jilli....25 left here.

1:38 am

J. C.

How about seeing to that in the morning then? ;)

1:38 am

J. C.

If not before you log off for the night?

1:38 am

J. C.

(Arm twist.)

1:38 am

rururocks

okay.. once I aget my orders done

1:38 am

Congrats Jilli! Hello all

He's joining us on Yahoo!, Jill...

1:39 am

hi Lyn

1:39 am

flosey

1:40 am

jillibus

I had the chat covered up with morewords -- needed to get rid of this one -- very full day tomorrow.

1:40 am

J. C.

Ah - did you see what I said, Jill?

1:40 am

jillibus

Attaboy, ruru!

1:41 am

J. C.

He logged off, I think. Don't look at my updates. :P

1:41 am

J. C.

You'll probably want to slap me.

1:41 am

jillibus

About ruru joining Yahoo etc? Yes :)

1:41 am

J. C.

Yes. I mean my updates on my page...

1:41 am

J. C.

Well pages, of course - seeing as I update that and my Twitter simultaneously.

1:41 am

jillibus

Oh -- no, haven't looked at Yahoo yet...will do

1:44 am

J. C.

Third update down, Jill. The ovine one. :P

1:51 am

jillibus

Tsk tsk. I'll report you to my vet cousin in Aberystwyth.

1:55 am

jillibus

But I'm going to bed now -- goodnight/morning and *poof*

1:57 am

J. C.

:P

2:31 am

Tella

hey guys! long time no talk :)

2:49 am

Haz1558

Good morning/evening all. Tella, how long is it since you talked?

2:49 am

Atalante

hello :)

2:49 am

Haz1558

Hello!

2:50 am

Atalante

*yells* hello spaghettina too!

2:51 am

Haz1558

She's having her morning treats. Not that they happen every morning, of course. That's just spoiling.

2:51 am

Atalante

of course. just once a year

2:51 am

Haz1558

If that.

2:52 am

Haz1558

It depends on whether she's kept her kennel in good shape.

2:52 am

Haz1558

Blanket folded, floors swept, that sort of thing.

2:52 am

Atalante

was if perfectly tidy this morning?

2:53 am

Haz1558

It was very good. She'd even washed the window so I thought she deserved extra thick gruel.

2:53 am

Atalante

what a good spaniel

2:53 am

Christine

Haz, what is you dog's name? Each time I see a reference to her, it seems to be a play on spaghetti or spangles (yummm loved those spangles).

2:53 am

Christine

*your

2:54 am

Haz1558

Christine, meet Spangle <-----------, Spangle, meet Christine.

2:54 am

Haz1558

Ata and I like to fool around with as many additions as we can fit on.

2:54 am

Christine

What a lovely girl.

2:55 am

Christine

Well, she appears to be smiling, so I guess she likes the attention.

2:55 am

Haz1558

She is very pretty.

2:55 am

Atalante

she smiles so well!

2:56 am

Atalante

and so easy to look after. she probably even irons

2:56 am

Haz1558

I know, she looks so happy. And who wouldn't with the prospect of extra thick gruel once a year?

2:57 am

Haz1558

Yes, easy to look after. Every home should have one.

2:58 am

Christine

If she cleans bathtubs, I'd be willing to take her off your hands.

2:58 am

Atalante

can I send hobbit over for obedience lessons?

2:58 am

Haz1558

She's not that big so you'd have to lift her in and out. Would that be a problem, Christine?

2:59 am

Haz1558

Is Hobbit having a rebellious phase?

3:00 am

Atalante

she woke me up this morning by bouncing all over me and telling me that she was desperate - desperate I say - for a wee, and so I eventually get up, hobble downstairs to find D already up. She didn't ask him, oh no ...

3:00 am

herinfernallady

I will swap you Hobit for a teen kitty

3:00 am

Haz1558

Maybe she's shy, Ata.

3:00 am

Atalante

she's a spaniel ..

3:00 am

Haz1558

And besides, doesn't it show you how much she loves you?

3:01 am

Atalante

well yes ... but today I just needed to rest and relax, not have my knee bounced all over! :P

3:01 am

Christine

I'll get her a little stepstool. Actually, I saw one advertised in an old-lady's catalog, to aid in stepping over the sde of the tub. I'm giving it a thought or two.

3:02 am

Atalante

oooo a babbler is in the grid

3:02 am

Haz1558

Those catalogues are something else - things you didn't know you needed for tasks you didn't know existed.

3:02 am

Haz1558

Yes, sp6?

3:02 am

Atalante

yes!

3:04 am

herinfernallady

Ata Mr Lucius is being damn annoying

3:04 am

Haz1558

There was one came in the other day. It featured things like a teabag dunker in the shape of a yellow submarine.

3:04 am

Atalante

what is brat boy doing?

3:04 am

Atalante

that's really pushing the boat out ..

3:05 am

herinfernallady

Being a shit. You know the equivilant of someone jumping up and down and poking you and being annoying? He is doing that

3:05 am

Haz1558

Groan, Ata. It was just ridiculous, not even verging on being useful.

3:05 am

Atalante

oh yes, just like Hobbit

3:06 am

Atalante

very glad the Navy have managed to refloat their super stealthy sub

3:07 am

herinfernallady

The mummummumumumumum what you doing IS she annoying Silly?

3:07 am

Atalante

no, sily's up in her basket out of the way

3:08 am

Haz1558

It must have been a bit embarrassing for them, running aground in full view. There'll be an enquiry and whoever did the steering will be back on potato peeling duty.

3:08 am

Atalante

it was a computer - a new fly-by-wire syustem I think

3:08 am

Haz1558

I think they'll find that FM is behind it. It's inevitable.

3:09 am

Atalante

I would think so

3:09 am

Haz1558

She was probably responsible for producing the manual to the computer. Mark my words, she'll be to blame ultimately.

3:10 am

Atalante

well, of course. it's only natural

3:11 am

Christine

I think the little stepstool is what I need - it's about 3inches high, but it'll get me over the rim of the tub - there's a sliding shower door that adds about 2inches to the height I need to overcome; getting out isn't a problem, but some mornings the poor old knee doesn't want to make the effort.

3:11 am

Haz1558

Anyway, speaking of your knee, are you still making a good recovery?

3:11 am

Atalante

there's a *10* in here? eeep! just noticed

3:11 am

Haz1558

It's a normal word. Think John Wayne.

3:12 am

Haz1558

(Or at least one of his films. Not that I'm a closet John Wayne fan or anything.)

3:12 am

Atalante

think so ... yesterday it felt just like a stiff blob of cotton wool, today I can actually feel it starting to relax and work like normal - I think just after the physical trauma of the surgery

3:13 am

Haz1558

Yes, when you think about it, no matter how non-invasive the technique, you're still interfering with tissue etc and it needs time to heal.

3:13 am

jhb

Hi people. Just arrived home from an early dinner with my daughter and family. And while we are discussing dogs, my little darling is confused. She has been playing with one of Cate's cats all afternoon. So the question is - is she a dog or a cat

3:13 am

Atalante

absolutely, it's still physical trauma to internal bits and it takes a bit of time, but I can actually feel my whole knee today, it's not just numb and blobby, so that's a good thing!

3:14 am

Haz1558

Hello, jhb. She's a dog!

3:14 am

Atalante

she's a dogcat

3:14 am

Haz1558

Numb and Blobby sounds like a good name for the Chuckle Brothers.

3:14 am

jhb

Yes thanks. Although Tibetan Spaniels have been described as one third dog, one third cat and one third monkey.

3:15 am

herinfernallady

I ahve a catdog

3:15 am

Haz1558

<---------- all dog.

3:15 am

jhb

Oh good - and I thought I was the only one.

3:15 am

Atalante

am sure hobbit thinks she's human

3:16 am

jhb

Well Lotte is really in no doubt that is until she met Flkash

3:16 am

Atalante

ah ty Haz, my whole knowledge of John Wayne involves that one film's name, luckily

3:17 am

Haz1558

Well, wasn't that fortunate?

3:18 am

herinfernallady

My cat plays fetch

3:18 am

Atalante

very!

3:19 am

Haz1558

Two babbler names - Esprit.

3:20 am

Atalante

PB!

3:20 am

lynxxx

I can't believe you just did that! Hello all

3:21 am

herinfernallady

Hi. Hey Lynxx I found out something about that show Burkes Backyard

3:21 am

Haz1558

Goodness, I assumed that it wasn't valid. What are French words doing in a grid? This is English, I don't think foreign words should be accepted, we need to keep the grid pure.

3:21 am

Haz1558

Hello, lynxxx.

3:21 am

lynxxx

Yes? is that still going?

3:22 am

herinfernallady

No but I will never ever buy anything attached to them

3:22 am

lynxxx

why?

3:23 am

jhb

why?

3:23 am

Haz1558

Not even from a catalogue?

3:23 am

herinfernallady

Because they said that ACA Kennels (Banksia Park) was a reputable puppy breeder

3:24 am

lynxxx

but how long ago was that?

3:25 am

herinfernallady

2005 and ACA is now known as Banksia Park that claims they are reputable when the photos state otherwise

3:25 am

lynxxx

same owners?

3:25 am

Haz1558

I don't think we've been treated to Burke's Backyard over here.

3:26 am

jhb

We used to get it but haven't for some years.

3:26 am

lynxxx

Looking at their website they don't do the actual breeding Infernal

3:26 am

herinfernallady

Yep.

3:27 am

herinfernallady

Article I am reading says ''ACA breeders (located near Sale as well). This puppy farm was featured on Burke's backyard in 1999 and Don Burke stated that it was a â€œwell run puppy farmâ€

3:28 am

Atalante

what is / was burke's backyrad?

3:28 am

Haz1558

Apparently, Burke is the equivalent of Alan Titichmarsh.

3:28 am

lynxxx

Read the ACA website Infernal - the page on Our Breeders

3:29 am

Atalante

goodness

3:29 am

Haz1558

Purveyor of blue fences and water features to the Aussie public.

3:29 am

jhb

Well - Burke reorganised peoples backyards showing how EASY it was - provided of course, you had the dollars and all the help he had.

3:29 am

lynxxx

Similar Haz - not only gardens but all things found in a backyard - so choks , mowers etc

3:30 am

lynxxx

chooks that is

3:30 am

Haz1558

I immediately assumed that it was something to do with Burke (of Burke and Hare, bodysnatchers) having made it to Australia and doing unspeakable things then hiding the evidence.

3:30 am

herinfernallady

what site please Lynx?

3:31 am

jhb

Christine - do you remember that brown bread we used to have at home? Well its name is in the grid but it wont accept it.

3:31 am

lynxxx

Google ACA kennels

3:31 am

Haz1558

Hovis! With the ad of the little boy wheeling his bike up a very steep street.

3:31 am

jhb

Yep - that's the one.

3:32 am

Haz1558

Hovis is still on the go, isn't it, Ata?

3:32 am

jhb

Not here in NZ

3:32 am

herinfernallady

Ok not sure that the store in Croydon is the same as getting from puppy farms but ACA Kennels/ Banksia kennels is

3:33 am

Atalante

oh yes

3:33 am

jhb

ye - NCIS is on the tv. My favourite. Be back later.

3:33 am

lynxxx

Did your read the page "Our Breeders"

3:33 am

Haz1558

Bye, jhb.

3:34 am

jhb

That should read Bye

3:34 am

herinfernallady

errr can I have the actual site?

3:34 am

lynxxx

BBL dinner to seve

3:34 am

Haz1558

See you later, lynxxx.

3:34 am

herinfernallady

Ok I did and they are a puppy farm

3:36 am

herinfernallady

This is 2007: http://tinyurl.com/2d7gn4o
This is now:
http://tinyurl.com/37efsou Nothing has changed. It kills me

3:38 am

Atalante

de6/7 french words too

3:39 am

Haz1558

I know, I'm shocked to the core. What kind of puzzle is this?

3:39 am

Atalante

a revolting one

3:39 am

herinfernallady

Sorry Lunxx

3:39 am

Haz1558

I think I'll write to Dr-G and ask him to make sure that only English words appear.

3:41 am

Atalante

it is a bit of an invasion today

3:43 am

Haz1558

And more stinking French words -vi7 and vi8.

3:43 am

herinfernallady

I can't even see these words

3:44 am

Haz1558

French people don't go window shopping, they go window licking...What an expression!

3:45 am

herinfernallady

Ata you can have lucius I have a happy pandora

3:45 am

Atalante

ah ty I was going round and round that one and not getting the letters in the right order!

3:45 am

Haz1558

vi7 - vi plus the ending of a word that means a rudimentary toilet, la*****.

3:49 am

Atalante

good clue

3:50 am

Haz1558

It should get the word unless you think that la starts lavatory.

3:50 am

Atalante

or lavabo

3:50 am

Haz1558

No more of your stinking French words!

3:51 am

Atalante

lavabos shouldn't stink!

3:52 am

Haz1558

They shouldn't, that's true.

3:53 am

Atalante

what do you call words - oh I can't even think how to explain, that typify speech in a particular dialect - like londoners saying "innit?"

3:54 am

Haz1558

Bad elocution.

3:55 am

Atalante

nooo, northern ireland peoiple do it too "will we?" etc

3:56 am

Haz1558

I know, I'm just not sure of the correct term.

3:56 am

Atalante

nor me!

3:56 am

Lindrickway

colloquialism?

3:57 am

Atalante

ohhh

3:57 am

Haz1558

You mean a speech pattern that only relates to a particular dialect - like Estuary English, or Glaswegian glottal stops?

3:57 am

Atalante

trying to work out how to look up little patterns of speech that welsh people typically use

3:57 am

herinfernallady

Hi Lind

3:58 am

Lindrickway

Hi herin, how ya doin?

3:59 am

Haz1558

A colloquialism would confine a word or phrase to a particular area, wouldn't it?

3:59 am

Haz1558

But I tend to think of it as referring to words rather than patterns of speech.

4:00 am

Lindrickway

yeah perhaps

4:01 am

Haz1558

In Answers.com, it give the answer to the question 'Which term means a local or regional speech pattern' - Dialect.

4:01 am

Atalante

I just couldnt think of the right term to look up

4:03 am

Haz1558

Are you writing a book about Welsh people?

4:04 am

Atalante

just writing a silly torchwood fiction thingy

4:05 am

Haz1558

Does Captain Jack feature? Is the grass green in Ireland?

4:06 am

Atalante

oh yes Captain Jack features :)

4:07 am

Haz1558

Now why does that not surprise me?

4:08 am

Atalante

:)

4:10 am

Atalante

A common feature of the Cardiff accent is, in colloquial language, the tendency to use a 3rd person singular verb conjugation when referring to the 1st/2nd person singular or plural. For example, I lives in Cardiff rather than I live in Cardiff.[1]
When asking the whereabouts of something, a Cardiffian may as Where's that to?[6], with the grammatically unnecessary addition of the preposition to, which indicates a direction even though this meaning would not actually be implied.
Double negatives are a feature of Cardiff English, as in some other urban accents of English.[1]
Cardiff English is marked by frequent assimilation and elision, when two distinct sounds merge into one when pronounced in sequence. Therefore, bearing in mind the dropping of /Ã°/, in these may be pronounced as [Éªn'niËz] (in-neez), rather than [Éªn Ã°iËz].

4:10 am

Atalante

double negatives! horror!

4:11 am

Haz1558

A current peeve is the question 'Where is it at?'

4:12 am

Haz1558

Some of the Apprentices can't string together grammatical sentences, have you noticed?

4:12 am

Atalante

oh dear, that's not a good question

4:12 am

Atalante

nor can ALan Sugar

4:13 am

Haz1558

That's true.

4:13 am

Atalante

sometimes even he makes me cringe

4:14 am

rubyfoo

good morning everybody

4:14 am

Haz1558

I know. You wouldn't have found Margaret uttering a double negative.

4:14 am

Haz1558

Good morning,ruby.

4:14 am

rubyfoo

how cold is it in the UK? Frost yet?

4:15 am

Haz1558

Rainy here.

4:15 am

Atalante

what do you think of Karen Brady?

4:15 am

Haz1558

She's just a bit bland at the minute. She hasn't perfected the acidity needed.

4:15 am

Haz1558

She was good when she spoke directly to the banshees, but is a bit quiet normally.

4:16 am

Atalante

not as good as margaret

4:16 am

rubyfoo

you all used the expression chav the other day, so I asked my niece in London for a definition and she said: WHITE, 12 YRS OLD, GUM -CHEWING, PREGNANT AND SAYS INNIT!

4:16 am

Haz1558

No, Margaret is a very hard act to follow. She's from Northern Ireland, of course.

4:17 am

Atalante

looool yep

4:18 am

Atalante

is she? did she have her NI accent bred out of her?

4:18 am

Haz1558

I'm not sure what happened to her accent, but yes, she's from Holywood, Co Down (like Rory McIlroy the golfer).

4:19 am

Atalante

gosh, you'd never ever know

4:19 am

lynxxx

Back. Hi Ruby - what a definition!

4:19 am

Atalante

Mountford believes that her Northern Irish background has helped her career, saying: â€œI think coming from Northern Ireland gives you a lot of basic level-headedness and stands you in very good stead. A lot of whatâ€™s required is a common sense approach, much of business depends on that actually.â€

Haz1558

She went to Strathearn Grammar, then Girton College, Cambridge. It's possible that she might have had an Englishy type accent to start with.

4:20 am

rubyfoo

innit that funny?

4:20 am

rubyfoo

I had never heard the expression before

4:20 am

Haz1558

I think she's right. We value common sense very highly.

4:20 am

Haz1558

Not that you'd know it from our politicians, but that's another story.

4:21 am

Atalante

just innit funny, ruby ;)

4:21 am

lynxxx

and aparently you can put a spirit-level on their heads too - and the bubble is in the centre

4:22 am

Haz1558

'Innit' = isn't it = is that not quite correct, old bean?

4:22 am

rubyfoo

I've only heard that on TV as we get a little bit of BBC programming. The French say "Quoi" as an interjection

4:23 am

Haz1558

That's one French word that isn't in the grid.

4:23 am

Atalante

about the only one

4:24 am

rubyfoo

I only found one, so far.... :(

4:24 am

Haz1558

I know, it's flooded with them. Shocking.

4:25 am

Haz1558

Ruby, do your duty and clean the windows.

4:25 am

rubyfoo

here's a phantom Fr one, appropriate for this week : greve

4:25 am

Atalante

am still horrified about maybe having to write double negatives in this story. I don't even know how to write double negatives!

4:25 am

rubyfoo

and get the dogs to stop licking them

4:25 am

rubyfoo

but I'm on strike!

4:26 am

Haz1558

Pretend that your hero/heroine has had elocution lessons all his/her life and had the double negatives educated out of them.

4:26 am

Haz1558

Ruby - I was giving you hints for the French words - de6 and de7 and vi7 and vi8.

4:26 am

Atalante

but she's meant to be a normal cardiff person

4:27 am

Haz1558

No normal Cardiff person has elocution lessons? Where's Charlotte Church from?

4:27 am

Atalante

cardiff

4:28 am

Haz1558

So, think in Charlotte Church speak....

4:28 am

Haz1558

If that doesn't tip you over the edge, I don't know what will.

4:28 am

rubyfoo

ty, haz, I didn't realize the de's were Fr. but I had them. The vi's you suggested, too funny that you guys kow that awful expression

4:29 am

Atalante

it's funny, I can hear the welsh accent in my head, it's difficult actually *writing* it though

4:29 am

Haz1558

I studied French, ruby, millions of years ago and we were taught all sorts of expressions to try to make us sound more native.

4:29 am

Dachef

no cardiff person would take elocution lessons. What would be the point? We all speak perfect anyway. Believe me, this is a subject I know about.

4:30 am

Haz1558

Here's Dachef to give you the lowdown. He's a scriptwriter and everything. We are in the presence of greatness.

4:30 am

Atalante

we had lessons on how to say "um" and "er" in French!

4:30 am

lynxxx

hi Dachef

4:30 am

rubyfoo

I studied it, too, also a million years ago and although I would read and write it (like an ado, alas), I couldn't speak well until I moved here

4:30 am

Haz1558

We were shown how to shrug in French.

4:30 am

rubyfoo

hello dachef

4:31 am

Haz1558

Very useful if you can't think of le mot juste. Just shrug.

4:31 am

Atalante

Le Gallic Shrug

4:31 am

Atalante

were you taught how to revolt properly

4:31 am

rubyfoo

husbaqnd can't understand why they move their mouth so much when they speak, but I explained that it's the formation of the sounds that causes that, and made him watch a chinese movie

4:31 am

rubyfoo

I was pretty revolting to start with!

4:32 am

Dachef

and yes, we do say 'innit' a lot. especially at the end of every sentence, innit?

4:32 am

Haz1558

We weren't taught how to revolt. We had lessons on Baudelaire so we were too full of ennui to raise the energy to revolt.

4:32 am

rubyfoo

it sounds like you still remember all your French, haz

4:33 am

Atalante

ennui isn't in the grid either

4:33 am

Haz1558

I've retained my French much better than my German.

4:34 am

rubyfoo

where is sp***? she is hiding in the grid this AM

4:34 am

Atalante

me too

4:34 am

Haz1558

Anyway, I must head off and get the shopping done. More ennui.

4:34 am

Atalante

ennui ennui

4:35 am

Haz1558

Bye all!

4:35 am

4:36 am

lynxxx

rain, flowers, rain, and about 10 really nice days. But no water restrictions to speak of!

4:37 am

rubyfoo

you need the rain, though, right?

4:37 am

rubyfoo

yay, half!

4:38 am

Atalante

yay ruby!

4:39 am

Atalante

am I being really stupid not seeing the left hand O?

4:39 am

lynxxx

I think the Australia wide drought has really broken. Was listening to a radio show about an area in Sth Australia, the most rain in 30 years. TheState's national flower _ the Sturt Pea - is in full bloom and in a multitude of color variations that they have never seen before

4:40 am

Atalante

I love those peas, gorgeous flowers

4:40 am

rubyfoo

I don't have either o!

4:40 am

I have not found it

4:40 am

Atalante

6:42 am

Anniebrook

Hi Molly, the chocolate is in the PB...you can always put og4 into the chog and then you can have all the chocolate your heart desires ( LOL )

6:43 am

MollyL

Caught! Morning Annie. How's your tailbone feeling today?

6:44 am

Anniebrook

Sore. The thing that annoys me is I cant sit up in bed and read (it hurts) I have to lay on my side and it is very uncomfortable to read that way. Life can be worse tho. How are you coming along, my dear?

6:45 am

MollyL

I'm okay, glad it's the weekend. Have you tried sitting on one of those donut pillows?

6:46 am

Anniebrook

No, I guess I should buy one but I really dont want to spend the money. Might have to tho.

6:47 am

Anniebrook

Two of our babblers are in the grid...es 6/21 and sp 6/21

Good morning to my Babble buddies!

Hi Scrabbs, coffee is dripping, english muffins toasting

Scrabbler

Mmm, English muffins.

I am thinking of making pancakes for breakfast but I know that I shouldn't eat that many carbs.

Good morning Nanette.

6:55 am

Scrabbler

BRB, going to make 2nd cup of tea and then running to end of driveway to get newspaper.

6:58 am

MollyL

I always love to hear of people who still get the newspaper.

6:59 am

Scrabbler

I look forward to reading the newspaper. I could read it online but it would be tougher. Also, I like the comics and puzzle pages.

7:00 am

featherbee

i usually head to the comics first. morning.

7:01 am

Scrabbler

Hello again, FB.

7:01 am

featherbee

four Ss, and only 132 words? oh dear.

7:02 am

Scrabbler

On Saturdays our paper has the NYT crossword puzzle which (sadly, perhaps) is the highlight of my week.

7:02 am

MollyL

Reading the comics first is a great way to start the day.

7:03 am

Scrabbler

Yep, I have my favorites.

7:03 am

NonoNanette

Hi feather, I also go directly to the comics when I get the paper

7:04 am

Scrabbler

Pearls Before Swine, Zits, Pickles, Get Fuzzy, Pro & Con...

7:05 am

featherbee

zits, pickles, baby blues

7:06 am

featherbee

better go get the heathens dressed. just wanted to peek in on the grid/chog.

7:07 am

NonoNanette

have a good day feather

7:07 am

MollyL

Pearls Before Swine is my favorite. Enjoy your day Feather.

7:08 am

MollyL

Oh, and I love the New York Times crossword. No sadly about that being a highlight of your week Scrabs.

7:08 am

Scrabbler

Bye FB

7:09 am

Scrabbler

It is such a clever and challenging crossword puzzle. I spend a few days on it, as I will think of the correct answers after a while.

7:10 am

MollyL

The only way I can do a clever crossword is to step away from it from time to time.

7:12 am

Scrabbler

Yep. And often I will think of the answer when I am not even looking at the puzzle. I will be at the store, or reading in bed, and I say, "That's it!"

7:13 am

MollyL

It always amazed me how our minds work like that.

7:13 am

Scrabbler

Yes, our subconscious is always trying to solve problems.

7:14 am

JBV

good morning friends, checking in for part 2 of my morning routine (Babble) - part 1 is the newspaper!

7:15 am

Scrabbler

Hi JBV! I decided, with you as my inspiration, to devote some time everyday for Italian study. I was on LiveMocha last night and I pulled out some of my flashcards.

7:15 am

MollyL

good morning, all

7:16 am

Hi TNC

7:16 am

JBV

I like Live Mocha - do you have "friends" who correct your submissions? I find it very helpful

7:16 am

NonoNanette

hello Tea

7:17 am

Anniebrook

hello JBV and Tea

7:17 am

JBV

I have the paper delivered and read almost everything except sports and business

7:17 am

Scrabbler

I was presented with a large number of possibilities, almost chose Paola, then was too nervous.

7:18 am

JBV

just go for it - nothing to be afraid of. I haven't done it in a while, because now I'm in an Italian conversation group here with real people (!)

7:19 am

Anniebrook

I love tackling the NYT sunday crossword..thinking of getting the Sunday Times delivered again

7:19 am

JBV

do you know about another resource online? very helpful and no "friends" involved - it's Loquendo:

7:19 am

JBV

http://tts.loquendo.com/ttsdemo/defaul
t.asp?page=id&voice=Paola

7:19 am

Scrabbler

Of course my mother is/was fluent as she grew up speaking Italian with her parents + sibs. But she hasn't spoken Italian in 20+ years.

7:20 am

Scrabbler

TY, JBV

7:20 am

JBV

all you do is enter a text in Italian and a voice reads it back to you!

7:21 am

JBV

I subscribe to the NY Times online and I can get today's puzzle and the entire ARCHIVE of puzzles at any time!

7:21 am

Scrabbler

I must get over my fear of conquering verb conjugations in various tenses.

7:21 am

JBV

I like Loquendo when I'm not sure about where to place the spoken accent on a word, like diMENtico, etc.

7:21 am

Anniebrook

JBV, then I can print out the crosswords if I subscribe

7:22 am

JBV

funny, scrabs, I just noticed the link I gave you has "Paola" as the sample for the demo

does anyone know what time Eva's Wedding is today?

7:25 am

Scrabbler

Hi Peri

7:25 am

JBV

Italian has changed in 20 years, scrabs, I'm finding they use a LOT of English words now, and grammar has simplified - almost nobody uses the passato remoto, everything is present perfect

7:26 am

MollyL

That is a cool site JBV. Shouting out happy wedding day wishes to Eva!!

7:26 am

Scrabbler

I hate all of those names of tenses--present perfect, pluperfect, past, etc.

7:27 am

Scrabbler

I get very intimidated.

Yes, Mom, and it snowed here for a few minutes Thursday evening then switched to rain.

Haha, Mom, we get that and more PER snowfall multiple times through the winter. Our usual winter = 120-140 in/season.

Magyk

It just broke yesterday so I am still trying to figure out what to do. I need a coffee iv!

10:05 am

herinfernallady

10:05 am

crosshair

10:07 am

Magyk

I think in the shape it's in, I'll be making some camp coffee here in a few! :)

10:07 am

10:13 am

crosshair

10:13 am

hootowl

If you have duct tape you can separate the wires, wrap them with it and then wrap together. Should do till you buy a new cord

10:13 am

Nancy Boy

well I'm in two minds. I'm not a cokehead. But...I hate coffee ;)

10:13 am

herinfernallady

Yep

10:16 am

rubyfoo

we have a Nespresso machine and it's perfect coffee everytime. Never before could I make decent coffee

10:16 am

herinfernallady

And I had with it whiskey cream and it was good

10:16 am

rubyfoo

what does red bull taste like?

10:16 am

herinfernallady

Nespresso is not real coffee.

10:16 am

herinfernallady

err not sure it has a description

10:17 am

herinfernallady

HI NB

10:17 am

Nancy Boy

I can only drink coffee if it's really, really, really bad. Like, slosh some cheap instant stuff in, hot water, done.

10:17 am

rubyfoo

it's real expresso in little capsules, not instant

10:17 am

rururocks

nope..espresso is real coffee

10:17 am

crosshair

lol,and 2 points to herin,with her red bull ice cream with whiskey cram topping!!

10:17 am

Nancy Boy

Tastes like medicine, Ruby. It's gross. Fizzy, slightly syrupy medicine...

10:17 am

rubyfoo

and George comes with.....

10:17 am

rubyfoo

nespresso is just the branding of the machine

10:18 am

rubyfoo

is it like a cola?

10:18 am

kje

I am drinking stovetop espresso now

10:18 am

kje

despite having a nespresso machine - LOL

gm

10:18 am

rubyfoo

I drink a double in the AM with boiled milk

10:19 am

rururocks

do yourself a favor kje.. buy a Pavoni

10:19 am

herinfernallady

Is that the pod thing?

10:19 am

Nancy Boy

nahhh, it's difficult to explain, really. Sweet, but not in a cola way. The only way to find out is to try it, honestly.

10:19 am

redturtlehead

ruby it is not like cola, frankly I think red bull tastes like liquid tylenol.

10:19 am

herinfernallady

Nancy what about um V?

10:20 am

Nancy Boy

YES Red. Like medicine, right?!

10:20 am

rubyfoo

yup. the machines are just a way of selling the (expensive) pods. But the coffee is really wonderful

10:20 am

kje

ope, I think my low tech Italian stovetop pot is quite good, and much cheaper...

10:20 am

rubyfoo

sounds delish, red, hahah

10:20 am

redturtlehead

i dont do red bull...

10:20 am

rururocks

go ahead ...live in the dark ages

10:20 am

herinfernallady

Hi Ru

10:21 am

rubyfoo

what I like about the capsules is that you can have exactly what you want and that goes for whoever is in the house, whenever

10:21 am

Nancy Boy

Truly the foulest club drink is a jagerbomb. Red bull + a shot of jagermeister, down in one. Bleurgh.

10:21 am

herinfernallady

Pod coffee is yuk (unfortunatly)

10:21 am

kje

gladly - like millios of Italian households do...

10:21 am

herinfernallady

O NB you are right bleurgh

10:21 am

rururocks

morning herin you are up late

10:21 am

rubyfoo

hello ruru

10:22 am

rururocks

hi ruby.. I don't like the sound of this red bull ..never tried it

10:22 am

herinfernallady

Watching music videos

10:22 am

rururocks

do you rub sticks together to start your fire too kje?

10:22 am

rubyfoo

evidently, club kids drink it with vodka and are so caffeined-up that they don't know they're drunk. really dangerous

10:23 am

herinfernallady

We had a pod coffee machine I like the routine with a plunger

10:24 am

rubyfoo

my husband used to make it with his plunger machine but I thought the coffee was too weak with the amount of milk I put in

10:24 am

Nancy Boy

well Ruby, it kills the tiredness. mind you, I think red bull and vodka is going out of fashion, mostly 'cause it just tastes nasty.

10:24 am

rubyfoo

if you drink it black, it's probably ok

10:24 am

rubyfoo

I've only read about it NB

10:24 am

rubyfoo

too old to go clubbing!

10:25 am

kje

and my coffee pot never breaks down, and works eve if the electricity goes out

10:25 am

rururocks

...whatever.. you are just missing out..

10:26 am

rubyfoo

I keep some espresso coffee in the freezer and have an old Italian pot for when the Nespresso machine breaks down

10:26 am

Nancy Boy

well, I never went much on it, myself. I do wine and I do shots. too many calories in red bull.

10:26 am

kje

unlikely

10:26 am

rururocks

no calories in shots NB?

10:26 am

10:35 am

Haz1558

Hobbit and Spangle are a bit miffed that they're not to form a guard of honour.

10:35 am

wht

My monkeys are napping.

10:35 am

Haz1558

10:36 am

Atalante

Haz1558

No problem, red.

10:37 am

wht

9 left but I really need to get things done today. I'll be back later to finish. Eva, I hope you have a wonderful day.

10:38 am

Haz1558

See you later, wht. It must be important if you're leaving with only 9 words to go...

10:38 am

wildcat17

Congratulations Eva!!!! Hope it's everything you want it to be~

10:40 am

wht

Not that important, but they are 9 headscratchers. I'll come back to them later when my head is itchy.

10:40 am

Haz1558

They're probably some of those French words that have sneaked in.

10:42 am

Magyk

si7? any clues?

10:43 am

Haz1558

si7 - ends in American spelling of not day, sounds like a poison?

10:45 am

Vicuna

Hello, All,

10:45 am

Magyk

Thank you Haz!

10:45 am

Haz1558

Hello, Vi! You're in the grid!

10:45 am

Haz1558

A wee bit of you, that is.

10:45 am

Vicuna

I hope you have a great day, Eva, but more importantly, i hope you have a happy Ever After!

10:45 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, Magyk.

10:46 am

Vicuna

Ah yes, so I am. The whole thing has been in the grid only once, as far as I know.

10:47 am

Haz1558

Have you got over the disappointment of not being asked to favour the bridal pair with a solo?

10:48 am

Vicuna

Hah, how do you know I haven't? I'll be singing Elmer Fudd's serenade to Bugs-Bunny-disguised-as-Bwunhilde, from "What's Opera Doc."

10:48 am

Vicuna

It will be absowutewy wovewy.

10:49 am

Haz1558

(Wonders if all guests have been warned to bring ear plugs)

10:49 am

Magyk

vi7? please?

10:49 am

Haz1558

I suppose they'll be able to explain their tears as 'emotion'.

10:50 am

Haz1558

vi7 - French for shop window/display cabinet. vi plus the ending of la***** when used to describe rudimentary toilet arrangements.

10:50 am

Vicuna

vi7/40 - a glass case, ends like camp lavatory

10:50 am

Haz1558

And then plural for vi8.

10:50 am

Atalante

it would be emotion ...

10:51 am

Vicuna

Good point, Ata.

10:51 am

Haz1558

Yes, but what sort of emotion?

10:51 am

Atalante

we'll leave that to them ...

10:51 am

Vicuna

I would imagine it would be the sort of emotion that would make EvaN's wedding fondly remembered for years.

10:52 am

Vicuna

=D

10:52 am

Magyk

thank you both very much

10:52 am

Haz1558

There's a staged version of that opera on youtube. Is that you? (google what's opera doc)

10:53 am

Atalante

remembered, certainly!

10:53 am

Vicuna

I saw that once Haz, when looking for the real thing. I was pretty amused.

10:53 am

Vicuna

Definitely fondly! Who wouldn't enjoy telling everyone they knew about an incident like that?

10:53 am

Haz1558

It's very funny.

10:54 am

Haz1558

Funniest wedding I was ever at was when one bridesmaid fainted, fell into the others and they all collapsed like ninepins on a wooden floor.

10:54 am

Haz1558

The noise was something else.

10:55 am

Vicuna

Oh my! I hope there were no serious injuries! But I suppose there were some pretty badly bruised eg4.

10:55 am

Haz1558

Nobody was seriously hurt, the minister decided it might be more prudent for the bridal party to sit down.

10:57 am

crosshair

the build up for some of these massive wedding so so intense and so prolonged,it is a wonder everyone does not hit the ground on the big day lol

10:57 am

Vicuna

One of the more memorable wedding sermons I went to was where the minister spent the entire time explaining how dreadful marriage is, and how hard it would be and how much the couple would hate it... Rather horrifying at the time, but funny in retrospect.

10:58 am

Haz1558

Poor minister's wife if she had to listen!

11:00 am

crosshair

other then getting a day booked,all i wanted was 20 minutes notice and for someone to hand me a bag with what i was supposed to wear inside of it..lol

11:00 am

MollyL

G'day Cross.

11:00 am

Vicuna

lol - True. I didn't know the minister or the couple. I was there only in the capacity of "and guest."

11:00 am

crosshair

howdy molly

11:01 am

Magyk

the second se6/18?

11:02 am

Vicuna

se6/18 - the 100th part of a pa'anga

11:02 am

Haz1558

se6/18 - first three letters of the opposite of junior, then sandwich a beverage sounding letter between two vowels the same.

11:02 am

Vicuna

lol - I'm sure that was helpful. It's se + baby louse + vowel

11:02 am

Haz1558

Sometimes definition clues just don't cut it.

11:03 am

Magyk

3:01 pm

LeslieAnn

the two de7s only have a different last letter (and you can plural one of them)

3:01 pm

LeslieAnn

ah thanks molly!

3:04 pm

MollyL

de 7/44 is the plural of de 6/30. de 6/30 is de + rese**** dogs.

3:05 pm

LeslieAnn

MollyL

lynx, fe 5/16 is a carpentry tool. An escutcheon is an ornamental plate around a keyhole or light switch. The fe 5, is a piece that fits on that. Vague, I know.

3:18 pm

MollyL

Sorry, carpentry term.

3:19 pm

LeslieAnn

Good gracious! I've never spent that much on a costume. Thrift store and piece things together.

4:34 pm

Nef

I'm okay, Nonnie. Pulled a groin muscle and am limping around, but doing fine otherwise

4:34 pm

Nef

Unea, I heard that too and was wondering the same thing!

4:34 pm

NonnieLight

4:36 pm

I wanted to make my grandson's costume...a robot out of cardboard boxes spray painted silver and use dryer vent ducting for the arms and legs. I thought is sounded cute but I couldn't convince his parents.

4:36 pm

Uneaixoise

es6 old gas brand name + not out

4:37 pm

Uneaixoise

sounds great, nonnie!!

4:37 pm

Sparty

thank you! Thank you!

4:37 pm

Nef

I bought some costumes once on clearance from a rwental place; I think I got 5 adult costumes (2 monk robes with capes and rope belts; a clown costume, a dracula cape, and a witch costume with hat) all for $50. They are made of heavy duty fabric and we've used them for about 10 years now. But I can't imagine spending that much for 1 costume

4:37 pm

Uneaixoise

one year I decided to be Pippi Longstocking -- a friend came over and braided my hair over bent coathangers -- it was so wide, I had to walk thru doorways sideways LOL

4:38 pm

Nef

I'd made all of the costumes when the kids were little

4:38 pm

NonnieLight

sounds like a bargain nef.

4:38 pm

Uneaixoise

and I had to ride to the party with my head hanging out the window LOL

4:38 pm

Uneaixoise

what a deal, nef!

4:38 pm

Nef

What a great idea, Unea!

4:38 pm

Nef

And I love the robot idea....

4:38 pm

NonnieLight

lol, I would have likes to have seen that une.

4:39 pm

Nef

I hope you didn't have to go on the freeway like that!

4:40 pm

NonnieLight

One year my husband was a trashcan. We took cardboard (again) spray painted it silver. The handles were straws that fold up on the ends. He was inside with the "trash" all around his head. It turned out great and was a bunch of fun.

4:40 pm

Uneaixoise

god no! LOL -- just a mile or so down the road

4:40 pm

Uneaixoise

that's hilarious!

4:41 pm

lucyloo

2nd se 6 18 for fireworks!!!!!!!!!!!

4:41 pm

Nef

Nonnie, it was a bargain. Through the years the kids have used the costumes and combined different parts together (although the clown costume doesn't go well with any of the others very well).

4:42 pm

Uneaixoise

one year my artist friend Claudia wore a brown Hefty bag, glued pix of eyes all over it, made a flat square yellow "hat" and went as a baked potato!

4:42 pm

Uneaixoise

(she also made giant cardboard utensils to carry LOL)

4:42 pm

NonnieLight

And then there was the outhouse. We constructed that out of lightweight wood and slipped it over him. When you opened the door, it looked like he was sitting there doing is business because you saw his upper body with the fake legs dangling down in front. We even had a pencil attached so the party goers could leave their words of wisdom on the outhouse walls.

4:42 pm

Uneaixoise

nonnie, that's genius! LOL

4:43 pm

NonnieLight

lol love the baked potato idea.

4:43 pm

Nef

ny dtr. was once an oreo cookie: I took 2 round circles of foam, she had white tights and turtlenec and we put white foam pillows on the sides. Her "best" costume ever though was when she got mad at me when she was a senior in HS

4:43 pm

Uneaixoise

so much more fun than a "bought" costume!

4:43 pm

Uneaixoise

great idea, nef!!

4:44 pm

NonnieLight

an oreo cookie! Great idea...I'm keeping these in mind for the grands when they get older.

4:45 pm

redturtlehead

Nonnie, my nephew was that style of robot last year, he and my sister made the costume,

4:45 pm

redturtlehead

Hello everyone! Lots of my favorite people here!

4:45 pm

Uneaixoise

hey, red!

4:45 pm

Uneaixoise

jmc was wondering if you're joining eva for her honeymoon at Disney World LOL

4:46 pm

Nef

she wanted an expensive costume and I wouldn't buy her one. She went to her room and pouted for a while and when she came out she had a long sheath on (with only 1 arm in the dress, the other was through the neck opening with her head), a torn can-can slip on, her hair all ratted up and her make-up all askew with a big streak of blue from her eye to her mouth.

4:46 pm

Uneaixoise

LOL!!

4:46 pm

Nef

I asked what she was and she said "Barbie gone bad" It was Perfect!

4:46 pm

NonnieLight

One young gal from our church took a bunch of name tags with different poeples names on them and stuck them to herself. She was mistaken identity. I loved it because it was a great idea but so simple and hardly any cost involved.

4:46 pm

NonnieLight

hello red! I bet it was cute too.

4:47 pm

Uneaixoise

I once knew a graphic designer who had a Halloween wedding -- it was outdoors -- guests had to enter thru the "gates of hell"

4:47 pm

redturtlehead

OH perfect!!!! My friend and I invented a doll that we want to market in Florida, called "Baker act Barbie" she looks like that, but comes with the hospital committment arm band and three hole gown....

4:47 pm

NonnieLight

lol nef...that is hilarious!

4:47 pm

Uneaixoise

she wore a dress she'd dipped in tea and ripped

4:47 pm

redturtlehead

We think only other nurses will buy it.

4:48 pm

Uneaixoise

lol red :-)

4:48 pm

redturtlehead

I believe I shall find the list, 35 left and I see nada....

4:48 pm

redturtlehead

How is everyone doing? Getting ready for Halloween?

4:48 pm

Nef

hi red. I love these ideas!

4:48 pm

Uneaixoise

4:49 pm

redturtlehead

Everyone is so creative.

4:49 pm

Soodle

My daughters just gone out, wearing purple t-shirt, purple leggings, and about 100 purple balloons dangling off her. She is , apparently, a bunch of grapes....

4:50 pm

redturtlehead

Oh wow, she needs to go with a bottle of wine!

4:50 pm

Soodle

Hmmm. I think the bottle of wine bit has been done...........

4:50 pm

Nef

that's a great idea too; Soodle! I think it's great to use your imaginations instead of buying and dressing in pre-made costumes

4:52 pm

Soodle

Sarah's friend was dressed in black, with 3 pairs of tights dangling off her.... as the Black

4:52 pm

Soodle

Hic...widow...

4:53 pm

sajarn

lucyloo se6/18 se your five se***s substitute vowel for the third letter

4:53 pm

Nef

my DH and dtr. used to clown with a clown group when my dtr. was in grade school; clown make-up is great for finishing off some costumes

4:55 pm

Soodle

With all the doom and gloom in this country at the moment - I applaud the youngsters throwing themselves into the whole Halloween thing... Go forth and enjoy!!!

4:55 pm

redturtlehead

So fun, and I agree Nef, I think it was always more fun to build the costume rather than get it from the shelf.

4:56 pm

lucyloo

oops sajarn its the other one i want.....se6 18

4:57 pm

Nef

so, do any of you plan to go partying for Halloween? I usually stay home and hand out candy as a silly witch (because I don't want to scare the little kids)

4:57 pm

Uneaixoise

same here, nef

4:58 pm

Soodle

Heh heh heh.... I love to terrify the wits out of kids/adults/debt collectors......

4:58 pm

redturtlehead

I think I am working, I hate giving out Candy as it gets the dog sort of nuts. Wish I could do like they did, put a bowel out, but...these days the kids will just dump the whole bowl...into their bag.

4:58 pm

Uneaixoise

red's putting out a bowel? LOL

4:59 pm

redturtlehead

well! that would be very frightening, and smelly!

4:59 pm

Nef

we were talking at work about teens trick or treating. I said they have to have a costume to get treats from our house. It kind of bugs me when they come in their "normal" clothes and have pillow cases and want candy

4:59 pm

Uneaixoise

hey, jilly -- come clean mine!

4:59 pm

redturtlehead

zoozzoom

oh cool, going onto Jillys site now :-)

5:18 pm

Nef

Jilly, when I first read about the group you're promoting, it said 65,000 children and I thought that Missoula barely had that as a total population (then I read about the touring companies)

5:19 pm

Nef

hi zoozz

5:20 pm

Jillyjill

Yes, all over the world now. My kids did it every year. In one week the team auditions parts, practices and the kids perform. Everyone gets a part of some sort....God bless 'em!

5:25 pm

Soodle

Zooz - Your a gentleman! Next time your in Ireland, I will treat you to a pint!

5:25 pm

NonnieLight

5:43 pm

Jillyjill

It's fun but getting awfully crowded.

5:43 pm

redturtlehead

I have been to Disney World once, not really my thing, but a Super business model. Being once is a bit shameful as I live 22 miles north of it.

5:43 pm

Jillyjill

See you zooz!

5:43 pm

redturtlehead

If you go on days that arent holidays its nice.

5:43 pm

Dorens

5:43 pm

Dorens

don

5:44 pm

Dorens

t feel bad red. i went cause of kids and never would have gone otherwise ... not my thing either

5:44 pm

redturtlehead

done? congrats!

5:45 pm

redturtlehead

I think I might enjoy it more with actual children, or maybe because I did not have an opportunity to meet all the characters, that I would have enjoyed, having my picture with minnie and mickey!

5:45 pm

Jillyjill

Actually, despite being a MT native, I went to HS in California. The most fun was Senior night...got to go for 3 year (went twice as a caregiver plus my senior year)

5:45 pm

redturtlehead

I bet the senior night was a blast there.

5:45 pm

Dorens

i probably did enjoy it more because of my kids, but even so, it just smacked of abundant commercialism and i didn't like it at all

5:45 pm

Jillyjill

We last went when our youngest was 6...would never have traded seeing his face when Mickey Mouse 'found' him!!

5:46 pm

redturtlehead

In Disney World, I do love some of the Gardens and I enjoy seeing the fireworks (I sometimes see them from home if they are big that night) and I think the night parade is fun...

5:47 pm

Dorens

i think the look on my face when he found a lizard was better. i'm just more of a nature lover, i guess. mickey didn't really even do it for me when I was a kid back in the days of black and white tv

5:47 pm

Jillyjill

Well, must toddle off to fix dinner for hubby...may bb later

5:47 pm

Dorens

sorry, mean the look on the kid's face. Ihad my wine already)

5:48 pm

Jillyjill

*poof*

5:48 pm

Jillyjill

*poof*

5:48 pm

redturtlehead

yo uknow, I think it's different for everyone. Most of us locals now go down for the Special events which are fun. and there was something so neat about seeing the little girls going about the park dressed up like little princesses.

5:49 pm

redturtlehead

5:50 pm

Dorens

fuzzybunny

Pini, just read your story about waxing, I still have tears running down my cheeks (facial!) from laughing so hard. well written. I have used those same strips myself...

10:51 pm

Pinikula

Fuzzy...I've never used 'em...I didn't write the piece (it's something my dau passed on to me and I just couldn't pass up posting it) LOL

10:51 pm

J. C.

Ah yes - isn't that funny? And painful! Made me feel quite thankful to be male! Not that I haven't been waxed - once. Never again! :/

10:51 pm

Pinikula

got it! :)

10:52 pm

J. C.

In fact, I couldn't let the waxer continue - agony! :(

10:52 pm

Nancy Boy

Oh - what did you have waxed, Julian?!

10:52 pm

fuzzybunny

Pini, I am glad that didn't actually happen to you.

10:52 pm

Pinikula

I can't even imagine being waxed there!!!!

10:53 pm

fuzzybunny

J.C, waxing only hurts the first time!

10:53 pm

J. C.

What do you think, Jesse? :P

10:53 pm

J. C.

And I don't think so, fuzzybunny - why would it hurt any less if I were to attempt it again?

10:53 pm

J. C.

You can't even imagine being waxed where, Pini?

10:54 pm

fuzzybunny

Your skin toughens up to the pain!

10:54 pm

Pinikula

as described in the post, JC

10:54 pm

nrkii

I think Pini meant, in Toledo

10:54 pm

Nancy Boy

waxing only hurts the first time because sensible people never do it again :P

10:54 pm

Pinikula

ROFL

10:55 pm

Pinikula

That's right, NB!!! :)

10:55 pm

J. C.

Ah yes, Pini...

J. C.

And quite, Jesse. ;)

10:56 pm

fuzzybunny

I have no sense, have been waxing legs for 30 years...

10:56 pm

Nancy Boy

10:56 pm
