pb for ruru

12:58 am

rururocks

yes

12:58 am

rururocks

oops

12:58 am

VolleymomDee

tell me what spices you use please

12:59 am

VolleymomDee

wondering what I missed...

12:59 am

cybernan

nothing too overpowering dee or you lose the taste of the turkey.

12:59 am

rururocks

white pepper, thyme, sage, powdered garlic,

12:59 am

cybernan

are you making turkey soup from scratch?

12:59 am

dcseain

lovage is great with turkey, as are thyme and rosemary and marjoram and sage

1:00 am

VolleymomDee

so far... onions, celery, carrots, teeny bit of garlic, pepper, salt, turkey, rice, carrots, canned tomatoes... yes nan

1:00 am

cybernan

have you made the stock yet?

1:00 am

VolleymomDee

forgot the thyme, rosemary, marjoram... not fond of sage...

1:00 am

VolleymomDee

yes

1:00 am

VolleymomDee

leftover from Thksg

1:01 am

rururocks

rosemary is a bit too strong for turkey

1:01 am

VolleymomDee

how about marjoram?

1:01 am

cybernan

I think all you need to add is basil, a couple of bay leaves and some parsley

1:01 am

rururocks

(tiny bit of sage dee.. just a tiny bit)

1:01 am

dcseain

yes, sage can overpower if too much

1:01 am

VolleymomDee

saw one recipe with cumin but that seemed aggressive... ok ru... you have never steered me wrong yet

1:02 am

VolleymomDee

yum nan that sounds good, too... decisions, decisions

1:02 am

VolleymomDee

oh, I do have parsley already

1:02 am

rururocks

yes with tomatoes the basil is a good call

1:03 am

VolleymomDee

k, so vote is basil? Should I use marjoram, too?

1:03 am

cybernan

If you do, don't use much -- it is also very overpowering

1:04 am

VolleymomDee

sounds good... we like marjoram and basil in spaghetti sauce...

1:04 am

rururocks

marjoram is too strong for soup

1:04 am

1:05 am

rururocks

1:06 am

dfmchfhf

*yaa~~awn*
I need to stop falling asleep randomly...

3:03 am

dfmchfhf

this is a pretty easy grid :o)
ruby! we need you to finish at least one grid!

3:04 am

rubyfoo

I've been doing this for about a week less than a year and have only finished about 4 grids, and that was with some help from my friends. But, at least, I don't use lists....what I get is what I get!

3:05 am

Haz1558

Good morning/evening all.

3:06 am

dfmchfhf

hi Haz! :o)

3:06 am

Haz1558

Yes, it seems to be civilised.

rubyfoo

50 words in 10 minutes! yay

Morning!

3:10 am

rubyfoo

3:10 am

Haz1558

Good morning, FM!

3:10 am

dfmchfhf

hi FM! :o)

3:10 am

FMitch

Hello hello :)
A reasonable sized grid by the look of it.

3:11 am

FMitch

Have you had any more snow Haz?

3:11 am

dfmchfhf

it's also a nice grid! :o)

3:12 am

Haz1558

PHone..

3:13 am

FMitch

3:13 am

FMitch

Hope you are keeping warm ruby.

3:14 am

Haz1558

And I'm back. No more snow, thankfully and what we had is beginning to shrink.

3:14 am

dfmchfhf

no... brain not workey today, and 47 left.

3:14 am

rubyfoo

only wearing four layers of clothes -- look like the Michelin man

3:14 am

dfmchfhf

"only".

3:14 am

Haz1558

Bibbendum - the name of the Michelin man.

3:14 am

FMitch

lol

3:15 am

rubyfoo

do you know that great Michelin building in London?

3:15 am

Haz1558

I only know that because we have a Michelin factory near here who help to sponsor RDA and who used to send along a man dressed up in an air-conditioned Bibbendum suit to present prizes. The horses weren't impressed.

3:16 am

FMitch

I bet he spooked the horses!

3:16 am

Haz1558

They weren't happy by his appearance, nor by the noise from the air-conditioning unit inside the costume, it kind of hummed.

3:17 am

FMitch

lol, w/out it I guess he would have hummed :)

3:18 am

Haz1558

I know!

3:23 am

FMitch

oops my system went a bit screwy there, guess it is telling me it is time to go do work stuff - or at least check emails . biab.

3:24 am

Haz1558

I'm just reading/replying to one from Ata.

3:24 am

Haz1558

I'll see you later once you've done enough work to satisfy your conscience.

3:25 am

FMitch

Ta :)

3:30 am

dfmchfhf

speaking of work... I need to start writing a report (and redacting my introduction) that's due... umm... tomorrow (in 19 hours)... >.>

3:30 am

Haz1558

Was this the introduction that was much too long?

3:31 am

dfmchfhf

mmhmm >.<

3:31 am

Haz1558

Get the red pen ready....

3:31 am

Atalante

*pops in* *giggles madly at the email I sent*

3:31 am

dfmchfhf

hi ata! :o)

3:31 am

Haz1558

Okay, in your case it'll be the delete button, but you get my drift.

3:32 am

Haz1558

I'm just replying to it, Ata.

3:32 am

Atalante

I'm off to count geese :)

3:33 am

Atalante

if the car will work in the snow

3:33 am

Haz1558

Have you a target to reach?

3:33 am

dfmchfhf

count geese? o.0

3:34 am

rubyfoo

better than counting sheep, honk honk

3:34 am

Atalante

noooo just seeing the numbers in a migration zone near here

3:34 am

Haz1558

If there are fewer geese than last year does it mean anything significant?

3:34 am

sandrafrances

morning all how many words today please on this very snowy day

3:34 am

Haz1558

Hello sandra. 179

3:35 am

sandrafrances

thanks

3:35 am

Atalante

climate change is the usual culprit with bird migration numbers

3:35 am

dfmchfhf

ah... field biologist of some so4?

3:36 am

Atalante

marine biologist who knows nothing about geese - yet!

3:36 am

Atalante

ok, must go and wrap up etc etc. back later probably with interesting tales to tell

3:36 am

Haz1558

Yes, wrap up warm and let us know how you get on.

3:36 am

dfmchfhf

and tails to tally!

3:37 am

Atalante

byeeee :) *flaps off*

3:37 am

dfmchfhf

yay, down to the C, so far only needed to monkey three words...

3:37 am

Haz1558

See you later, ruby.

3:38 am

dfmchfhf

bye ruby :o)

3:47 am

dfmchfhf

down to 2 C words and I'm reduced to monkeying / dropping my keyboard (which ISN'T giving me words today! :o()

3:49 am

Haz1558

Well, the resources are at your fingertips to end your torture. You're choosing to annoy yourself.

3:50 am

dfmchfhf

but it works! ... eventually...
usually...

3:51 am

Haz1558

It's not the best use of your time, though. Not when you have an introduction to rip to shreds.

3:51 am

dfmchfhf

yeah, good point >.>
probably gonna come back to this later then...

3:52 am

FMitch

Hi again
Emails read and actioned, needless to say all last night football matches were off.

3:52 am

FMitch

... and it is snowing :(

3:53 am

Haz1558

Hello again, FM. I'm just giving dfm a subtle hint about time management.

3:53 am

Haz1558

My sympathy, FM.

3:54 am

FMitch

dfm needs to shut his mind to babble and apply himself to the paper.

3:55 am

Haz1558

See you later, dfm. Still 20 hours until the puzzle changes, you'll manage both if you're as disciplined as we are.

3:55 am

dfmchfhf

yes I do... no need to repeat what I did to herin yesterday, I get the point ;o)

3:55 am

Haz1558

What are we like? Two wise old biddies trying to get him to do his work.

3:55 am

FMitch

Mind you I could say the same thing about myself as it is month end and therefore I have have things to do.

3:55 am

Haz1558

What did you do to herin? I've missed out on something.

3:56 am

dfmchfhf

she was too lazy to get up and make waffles this (her) morning...

3:56 am

Haz1558

Shocking!

3:56 am

Haz1558

Has she never got those cats trained yet?

3:57 am

dfmchfhf

and I think I said "herin go make your waffles" some ten-odd times?

3:57 am

FMitch

Hey who are you calling old by the way Haz?

3:58 am

Haz1558

I have a husband and a daughter who always work to the limit of the deadline. My other daughter and I get things done before they are due. Neither of us can understand the others' way of working.

3:58 am

Haz1558

Old in the most positive sense of the word....

3:58 am

FMitch

lol

3:59 am

Haz1558

Did she evenutally go and make the waffles or did she just get cross at herself for having mentioned the word waffle?

3:59 am

dfmchfhf

I usually (key word: usually) get 80% of something do4 in the first 10% of the time... then forget about it until the last 10 of the time I have x.x

4:00 am

dfmchfhf

*last 10%

4:01 am

Haz1558

I don't know what I do but I get things do4. With the honourable exception of anything involving needles and thread.

4:01 am

dfmchfhf

she stopped speaking after a while :o/
I presume to make waffles, but that assumption may be erroneous.

4:02 am

Haz1558

She may have fallen asleep again.

4:02 am

FMitch

or got fed up with you telling her to go and make waffles :)

4:03 am

Haz1558

Any troll activity last night?

4:03 am

dfmchfhf

yaay, my introduction is now within +200% of the word limit.

4:03 am

dfmchfhf

Didn't notice any, but I may have been asleep.

4:04 am

FMitch

HAven't seen or heard of any for about 24 hours .

4:04 am

Haz1558

That's good, he/she/they may have moved on.

4:05 am

dfmchfhf

/it

4:05 am

FMitch

I missed the big kerfuffle a few days ago but the ones I have seen are nothing like the ones we used to get.

4:06 am

Haz1558

No, thank goodness.

4:06 am

lynxxx

What have I been missing? Hello all

4:06 am

dfmchfhf

hi lyn! :o)

4:06 am

FMitch

Good evening lynxxx

4:06 am

Haz1558

Hello, lynxxx. We've been trying to encourage dfm to knuckle down to his work.

4:07 am

dfmchfhf

redacting a 3500-word introduction to 500 words isn't fun though x.x
down to 1200... can't see it getting much shorter...

4:07 am

FMitch

Will you stop using the w word Haz and reminding me what I too should be doing.

4:08 am

Haz1558

I'd start again. Think what you want your introduction to say (it's an introduction, not the whole piece) and say it in short, snappy, grammatically correct manner.

4:08 am

lynxxx

some-one pass the boy Carlee's purple highlighter!

4:08 am

FMitch

dfm have you written the rest of the paper yet or just the intro?

4:09 am

zoozzoom

Phantom: Condolence.

4:09 am

zoozzoom

Hello, All :-)

4:09 am

Haz1558

Sometimes it's easier to start again than to try to rip up what you've already done. The ideas are there, it's just a question of being disciplined.

4:09 am

Haz1558

Hello, zooz!

4:09 am

FMitch

Morning zooz :)

4:09 am

lynxxx

hi Zooz!

4:10 am

zoozzoom

Thankfully only the odd snow shower that lasts about two mins..nothing settled at all.

4:10 am

dfmchfhf

hi zooz! :o)

4:10 am

FMitch

How is it over on the IoW?

4:11 am

dfmchfhf

Just the intro... and the conclusion... apparently I misunderstood the topic and thus my original body (which also exceeded word limits -.-) is invalid :o(

4:11 am

FMitch

oh thats good zooz

4:12 am

Haz1558

That's disappointing, dfm.

4:14 am

Haz1558

So, is the whole thing to be rewritten?

4:14 am

FMitch

What is the topic dfm?

4:14 am

dfmchfhf

approximately...

4:15 am

Haz1558

I bet we won't even understand the title.

4:15 am

FMitch

Probably, but I had compelling urge to ask.

4:16 am

Haz1558

I know, showing interest is polite. And who knows, it might be right up our street?

4:16 am

Haz1558

It won't be an appreciation of Elvis Presley, I know that much.

4:17 am

Haz1558

He hadn't heard of him until yesterday.

4:17 am

dfmchfhf

it's supposed to be an analysis and reflection of learning styles (i.e. Stirling's and Fleming's VARK system) and how it applies to the co-op (and university classroom) environment.

4:17 am

Haz1558

I'm awfully fond of Stirling, myself.

4:17 am

Haz1558

Lovely castle.

4:17 am

dfmchfhf

I wrote an explication instead :o(

4:17 am

FMitch

LOL

4:19 am

FMitch

Start again dfm pick out an salient points you had in your intro and get stuck in.

4:19 am

FMitch

*any not an

4:20 am

Haz1558

Well, dfm, I can offer no help on the topic, but FM is right.

4:21 am

Haz1558

Don't allow yourself to find any more babble words until that intro is done.

4:22 am

dfmchfhf

I can so4 of morph and squeeze the explication into an analysis... I think...

4:22 am

FMitch

and that is lecture time over. Do you realise I haven't put a single word in the grid yet! sheesh.

4:22 am

Haz1558

Actually, we should be refusing to talk to you. We should be sending you to temporary Coventry and boycotting you.

4:23 am

Haz1558

Anyone know the origin of the word boycott? Five points are on offer.

4:23 am

FMitch

from the cricketer.

4:23 am

FMitch

?

4:23 am

Haz1558

No!

4:24 am

FMitch

darn

4:24 am

dfmchfhf

I know! >.>

4:24 am

Haz1558

Tut, tut, you haven't been doing your Irish history lessons.

4:24 am

Haz1558

Sing out, dfm.

4:24 am

FMitch

Do enlighten us as dfm is NOT allowed to partipate.

4:24 am

FMitch

Haz, he is supposed to be working!

4:25 am

zoozzoom

a landlord agent.

4:25 am

Haz1558

Is he not? zooz or lynxxx, any wisdom from your end?

4:25 am

dfmchfhf

Charles Boycott :o)

4:25 am

Haz1558

But if we allow him to explain and make him promise to work after that?

4:25 am

zoozzoom

some who collects rent.

4:25 am

FMitch

oh you are too soft

4:26 am

Haz1558

Excellent, we're on the way to an explanation. Captain Boycott, land agent. Where? Which century?

4:26 am

FMitch

I have no idea so I will just watch and learn.

4:26 am

zoozzoom

1880

4:27 am

dfmchfhf

late something-teen hundreds... seven? eight?
Ireland

4:28 am

Haz1558

Ireland, yes, Co Mayo. He tried to undermine Parnell's system of land reform and what did the natives do?

4:28 am

FMitch

become restless?

4:28 am

Haz1558

Very restless, but specifically?

4:28 am

Haz1558

It's like dragging blood from a stone.

4:29 am

Haz1558

Or pulling hens' teeth.

4:29 am

zoozzoom

lol

4:29 am

FMitch

someone put me out of my misery!

4:29 am

dfmchfhf

natives? o.0

4:29 am

zoozzoom

demanded a reduction in their rents.

4:30 am

Haz1558

They refused to cooperate with him. Wouldn't serve him in shops, wouldn't work for him, wouldn't deliver letters.

4:30 am

Haz1558

It was the first instance of a boycott - refusal to work or associate with someone.

4:30 am

zoozzoom

they did a boycott :-)

4:31 am

Haz1558

Exactly, zooz.

4:32 am

Haz1558

So, now you know. History lesson completed and have you started your introduction, dfm?

4:32 am

zoozzoom

So who got the 5 points..lol

4:32 am

FMitch

Suddenly I have this love of Stirling's and Fleming's VARK system, I'm sure it would be less painful.

4:32 am

dfmchfhf

>.> in the process of writing it

4:33 am

Haz1558

I think the 5 points would have to be shared.

4:33 am

Haz1558

And I'd retain most of them!

4:33 am

FMitch

The quiz mistress can not retain points for her own benefit.

4:33 am

zoozzoom

lol

4:34 am

Haz1558

You're such a stickler for the rules.

4:34 am

FMitch

:) I see that Gillian Mcthingy has been evicted from the jungle.

4:35 am

zoozzoom

Thank goodness.

4:35 am

Haz1558

Do you know, I haven't watched a single minute of it, but the papers have been giving reports. She's not exactly endeared herself to the nation, it would seem.

4:35 am

FMitch

HAven't been watching the show but from clips I've seen am amazed she lasted so long.

4:36 am

Haz1558

And I love the McThing name, that sums her up.

4:36 am

zoozzoom

Put it this way, i would not want to eat at her house..lol

4:36 am

Haz1558

No, she's always come across as a bit strident. The sort you'd want to boycott.

4:36 am

zoozzoom

lol

4:36 am

dfmchfhf

I'd ask who that is, but... busy!

4:36 am

FMitch

lol

4:37 am

zoozzoom

she also sews food items into her knickers.

4:37 am

Haz1558

Wee shrewish sc5 woman.

4:37 am

FMitch

how hygenic

4:37 am

Haz1558

That's one way of making sure nobody asks for a share.

4:39 am

lynxxx

I keep coming back into 'strange' conversations

4:39 am

zoozzoom

They other so called stars knew whe was putting extras into the food, to make it taste nice. But did not know it was from her knickers..LOL

4:39 am

zoozzoom

the*

4:39 am

Haz1558

Poor lynxxx, it's what happens when you chat with Brits.

4:40 am

FMitch

WE were talking about "Im a Celebrity, get me out of here"

4:40 am

Haz1558

Or 'I'm in need of television work, I'll do anything for publicity, lock me in a fake jungle to let me annoy everyone'

4:40 am

zoozzoom

Finding this grid rather nice, found 111 words already.

4:41 am

lynxxx

I have managed to avoid that one - something about the title warned me

4:41 am

Haz1558

You are a wise woman, lynxxx. You might be fit to join with FM's and my wise old biddies club.

4:42 am

Haz1558

FM doesn't like the title, that's a bit of a problem.

4:42 am

FMitch

Im not old!

4:43 am

Haz1558

Nor am I! We're just mature in thought.

4:43 am

lynxxx

Haz is just getting ready to be a 'gran'

4:43 am

dfmchfhf

you're both older than I am ;o)

4:43 am

FMitch

and by default that makes you not old either Haz and lynxxx is a spring chicken.

4:43 am

Haz1558

Do you know something I don't, lynxxx?

4:43 am

zoozzoom

you could substitute the `old` for `ole` :-)

4:44 am

lynxxx

you are old when shop assisants start calling you madam

4:44 am

FMitch

darn, I just thought they were being polite.

4:44 am

Haz1558

Oh well, that's a while off - here, the ones I know call me by my name!

4:45 am

Haz1558

Phone...

4:46 am

FMitch

yup we are older than you dfm but the joy is we do not have to battle with meeting a dealine for a paper. WE have been there done that and already got the qualifications.

4:46 am

lynxxx

won't accept dosh

4:47 am

FMitch

my caps lock is getting very choosy on what letters to stick on.

4:47 am

FMitch

I'll accept dosh lynxxx :)

4:47 am

lynxxx

on laptop?

4:48 am

lynxxx

I would too!

4:49 am

FMitch

no on cheap keyboard - I have to have a proper keyboard.

4:49 am

lynxxx

come on - you can change

4:50 am

Eva

good morning everyone. I feel that my day has been justified by learning where "boycott" came from. And yes, amen to be old enough to probably never had to hand in another paper in one's life!!

4:50 am

FMitch

LOL and greetings dear Eva!

4:50 am

lynxxx

This from some-one who's calculator even had a paper roll in it

4:50 am

lynxxx

hi Eva

4:51 am

FMitch

How are you Eva and of course I must ask after Merp too :)

4:51 am

Eva

I liked those old calculators. They made such a satisfying sound. You really felt you were getting somewhere. They should program that sound into the new calculators. I'm fine...just wondering what I'm doing up for hours in the blackness of the winter morning. Merp is snoring at my feet having already tried once to take a chunk out of me this morning.

4:52 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Eva :-)

4:52 am

lynxxx

Oh dear, still doing that

4:52 am

Eva

Hi everyone. How are all of you this morning? Is it bleak and chilly where you are?

4:53 am

dfmchfhf

hi Eva :o)

4:53 am

FMitch

I remember the 'calculators' where you keyed the numbers and commands in on what looked like a cash register and then pulled the handle down to make the calculation.

4:53 am

lynxxx

Not down here - very pleasant weather

4:53 am

zoozzoom

Yes cold, lots of snow in parts of the UK.

4:53 am

Eva

yes-exactly FM. And they would go "katching"

4:54 am

lynxxx

Hey - I worked one of those when in the Bank - my first job!

4:54 am

Eva

I

4:55 am

Eva

I'd love to be in Australia right now. But can't stand the process of getting there. Could you maybe nudge it a bit closer?

4:55 am

FMitch

I think I must have worked at some archaic companies before I found silicone valley.

4:56 am

lynxxx

Also worked on a ledger machine - at least you could fix broken bits with paper clips. That won't work on modern day laptops/computers

4:56 am

lynxxx

I'll get out the paddles Eva

4:56 am

Haz1558

Good morning, Eva - I'm just back from my phone call but have to take a break. I'll be back shortly...

4:56 am

Eva

and thwacking things no longer makes them work

4:57 am

Eva

morning Haz

4:57 am

FMitch

that is true Eva but sometimes it is very satisfying.

4:58 am

Eva

Thwacking a Macbook could be quite costly

4:58 am

FMitch

lol true

4:58 am

Eva

maybe if I turn on my light box I'll feel less like something from the ooze

5:00 am

Eva

there. Now I'm being enlightened.

5:00 am

zoozzoom

:-)

5:01 am

zoozzoom

Wonder how far, Lynxxx, has got with the paddling..lol

5:01 am

FMitch

I really am going to have to tear myself away from here for a while, the chat has been great but I must go for a while. Happy Babbling!

5:01 am

lynxxx

ssshhh - she gave up

5:01 am

dfmchfhf

Bye FM!

5:01 am

lynxxx

bye FM

5:02 am

zoozzoom

Take care, FM..stay warm :-)

5:03 am

zoozzoom

how many letter for the `y` please?

5:04 am

dfmchfhf

5:04 am

lynxxx

5:04 am

zoozzoom

Thank you.

5:04 am

lynxxx

TY

5:04 am

lynxxx

that was easy then

5:04 am

zoozzoom

got it..just like that. :-)

5:07 am

lynxxx

Zooz - I still have that suet site you pointed me to. Would you make suet pastry for mince tarts or is that an overkill?

5:08 am

zoozzoom

Yeah might be ok, but would not be nice light & crumbly.

5:09 am

lynxxx

OK sounds like I should just do my old one - thanks

5:09 am

zoozzoom

i would stick to short crust pastry, so much better.

5:10 am

lynxxx

I will

5:12 am

Frances

redturtlehead

good morning. with so mny S, I would have thought a bigger grid!

zoozzoom

Hello, Red, yes true. Still a nice grid though :-)

6:04 am

redturtlehead

indeed, I am over half way, I think I will try to go running and retunr...

6:09 am

zoozzoom

Oh, JBV, i am so sorry to hear that news.

6:09 am

JBV

he has had some very serious medical challenges over the years and was always able to recover and keep on going - he had amazing strength, but this time it was not possible to save him

6:17 am

JBV

that's so true

6:17 am

zoozzoom

I was thinking the sme thing, Jean, most of us have never met, yet the Babble community is always loving & caring, makes me so glad i found babble.

zoozzoom

NonnieLight

JBV - my hearts goes out to you. I will keep you in my prayers.

JBV

I've met a few babblers and I can tell you they're as great in person as they are here in the chat

6:20 am

JBV

thanks, wildcat and Nonnie

6:20 am

Trifioso

6:21 am

JBV

just from chatting here - yes I "know" her

6:21 am

EspritdJean

did she lose her husband?

EspritdJean

28 years JB

6:23 am

lynxxx

EspritdJean

hi lyn

6:24 am

wildcat17

I have to leave for work but will be thinking about you and praying for you jbv (((((hugs)))))

6:25 am

NonnieLight

(((EspritdJean))) that had to have been very difficult for you.

6:25 am

lynxxx

You have had some bad recent years Espritd

6:25 am

EspritdJean

6:25 am

lynxxx

NonnieLight

hello lynxxx :o)

7:52 am

Mom

7:52 am

car.eeyore

Actually, I know people who have them and they are very snuggly...guess that's where they got the name from! LOL!

if you have in image open on your browser, right-click the mouse on it. there should be an option to "save image as" -- when that shows up, name it whatever you want, and at the dropdown at the top, click and select desktop.

10:32 am

rubyfoo

10:33 am

rubyfoo

10:33 am

FMitch

Ugh!!
Hi cgw.

10:33 am

cgw8

:D

10:34 am

FMitch

Just finished putting my online grocery order in for delivery in the morning :)

10:34 am

rubyfoo

I prefer snow to the extreme cold!

10:35 am

cgw8

I love snow, but I think that's because I don't have to shovel any of it. xD

10:35 am

FMitch

snow is great if youdont have to walk or drive in it, then it is pretty :)

10:36 am

rubyfoo

I just wrap myself up and stay in front of the fire

10:36 am

cgw8

We have a huge backyard with woods in it and it looks so pretty when it snows. <3

10:36 am

FMitch

Everything is going to freeze tonight and that is when it really gets a bit dangerous.

10:36 am

rubyfoo

do you have deer, cgw?

10:37 am

cgw8

Yeah, and coyotes.

10:37 am

rubyfoo

do they come close to the house?

10:37 am

FMitch

wow

10:37 am

cgw8

The deer do, but the coyotes stay pretty far away.

10:38 am

rubyfoo

no deer here and certainly no coyotes!

10:39 am

cgw8

Lol, I have a dog that freaks out whenever there's deer outside, I don't know how she hears them 'cause sometimes we need binoculars to see them.

10:39 am

FMitch

foxes yes, deer yes - coyotes umm no but there is a llama farm not far away.

10:39 am

rubyfoo

what knd of dog?

10:39 am

rubyfoo

the French have eaten all the deer and rabbits

10:39 am

cgw8

A miniature schnauzer

10:39 am

cgw8

A llama farm? o.O

10:40 am

rubyfoo

there are foxes, though, but I can only smell them, have never seen one

10:40 am

rubyfoo

one of the neighbors feeds them with meat from the abattoir

10:40 am

FMitch

yup we have llama and ostrich farms here in England, people breed them for the wool (llamas) and meat (ostriches).

10:41 am

cgw8

Speaking of foxes, have you ever seen/heard a red fox bark/call/howl or whatever it is they do? I believe there's a youtube video and it's the freakiest thing ever.

10:41 am

cgw8

YOU EAT OSTRICHES????

10:41 am

rubyfoo

and then make hats!!!

10:41 am

FMitch

It is the female fox that makes the most scariest sound when she calls for her mate.

10:42 am

cgw8

Ok, yeah, that's what I was thinking of. It's like something out of your nightmares. D:

10:42 am

rubyfoo

I didn't know that about foxes

10:42 am

FMitch

Have to feel sorry for the male fox when they mate but that is a whole other story.

10:42 am

cgw8

Dude, I'm gonna see if I can find a youtube video of it. It's scaryyyy. D:

10:43 am

cgw8

I feel sorry for preying mantis males when the mate. o.o

10:43 am

rubyfoo

that's like with chow chows; they have to muzzle the females when they breed them......

10:43 am

cgw8

Dang. o.o

10:43 am

FMitch

It sounds like someone being strangled and ruby, v scary if you have never heard it before on a dark night alone ......

10:43 am

rubyfoo

but not my Ruby!

10:44 am

cgw8

That's so creepy. The only truly scary sounds we have in my neighborhood come from my neighbor. :|

10:44 am

rubyfoo

hahah

10:44 am

cgw8

She's kind of all around scary. But it isn't really her fault.

10:45 am

FMitch

I will save the descriptive notes of a foxes sex life for another time :)

10:45 am

cgw8

HAHAHAHA How kind of you. xD

10:45 am

rubyfoo

the mother fox has brought the babies down for the neighbor to see

10:46 am

cgw8

?

10:46 am

FMitch

ditto ruby - when I was young the mother fox brought her 4 cubs up to the kitchen door in a very hard winter and they came back regularly to feed.

10:47 am

Mr Bob

Hi everyone

10:47 am

cgw8

Aw, how cute. :o

10:47 am

cgw8

Hi, bob. :)

10:47 am

rubyfoo

10:47 am

rubyfoo

hi mr. bob

10:47 am

FMitch

will never forget that.

10:48 am

FMitch

Hi Mr Bob, then man of few words :)

10:48 am

rubyfoo

10:48 am

cgw8

Bye. :)

10:49 am

FMitch

Boobear

11:25 am

cgw8

I don't really shop online. So I didn't take part. :|

11:27 am

Haz1558

I did try to buy online yesterday but the item was out of stock. I tried a different website today and got the items I wanted at a lower price, so that was good.

11:27 am

Haz1558

I did try to buy online yesterday but the item was out of stock. I tried a different website today and got the items I wanted at a lower price, so that was good.

11:27 am

Haz1558

So good I've hit the enter button twice.

11:27 am

Boobear

good for you Haz

11:28 am

cgw8

Well, that all worked out then. :D

11:28 am

cgw8

11:29 am

11:35 am

EvaNadine

::le sigh::
just back from the deli, looking forward to my favorite sammich for lunch.
sit down, take a bite, and realize they forgot most of what goes on the sammich...

11:35 am

crosshair

i would of sent it back..a dull sammich is a unhappy sammich

11:35 am

Boobear

clue for the second co 5/14

11:35 am

Haz1558

Hello, EvaN.

11:36 am

EvaNadine

alas, the deli is outside the building. would take all my lunchtime to get back and get another sammich.
:(

11:36 am

crosshair

i wish i were there to make you my famous clubhouse sammich

11:36 am

Haz1558

The second one uses a different vowel at the end, Boo.

11:36 am

cgw8

That's depressing, EvaN. :(

11:36 am

Haz1558

As in co plus to put on.

11:36 am

Boobear

ty

11:37 am

Haz1558

You're welcome.

11:37 am

cgw8

I'm so hungry. I would even take a boring sammich. :(

11:38 am

EvaNadine

sammich was SUPPOSED to have grilled turkey + swiss with russian dressing and cole slaw. i asked for them to add avocado.
i come back to turkey (it wasnt hot by the time i got back) with avocado and tomato.
no slaw, no cheese, no dressing.

11:38 am

crosshair

:(((

11:39 am

periwinkle

that stinks Eva

11:39 am

cgw8

Ugh, that's so stupid. I hate it when places get my order wrong. D:<

11:39 am

EvaNadine

AND its on multigrain instead of wheat.

11:39 am

crosshair

you will have to do up a ingredient list for them on a post-it note next time

11:39 am

cgw8

Now I always check what they gave me before I leave. :)

11:39 am

EvaNadine

no offense to those who like it, but i dont want seeds in my sammich.

11:39 am

Haz1558

Hello, peri.

11:40 am

periwinkle

hi Haz

11:40 am

EvaNadine

sadly, crossy, its one of their sammiches!
called "the georgian" -- so i ordered "the georgian with avocado"

11:40 am

cgw8

Dude.

11:40 am

EvaNadine

i never knew "with avocado" = "without everything else"

11:40 am

crosshair

make up about 8 of your different favorite sammiches on post it notes.go to the camera shop,get them laminated and keep them in your desk to give to the deli

11:41 am

crosshair

lol,but it is harder if it is one of their own they are messing up:((

11:41 am

EvaNadine

yknow, now that i think about it... i think a gal a few people behind me ordered plain turkey with tomato + avocado.
i bet they gave me hers...

11:42 am

crosshair

sounds like it then

11:42 am

EvaNadine

hope she likes swiss, russian + slaw!

11:42 am

Haz1558

She's probably complaining bitterly to someone.

11:43 am

EvaNadine

sigh.
i was SO looking forward to that lunch...
oh well!

11:43 am

EvaNadine

at least they remembered my pickle.
and i still have a banana left over from breakfast...

11:44 am

cgw8

Dude, that sounds like a disappointing lunch. :( But at least you had lunch. D:

11:45 am

EvaNadine

yesterdays lunch was turkey chili from the caf which tasted uber-weird.
so far, im 0-for-2 for lunches this week...heh

11:45 am

crosshair

11:46 am

crosshair

11:46 am

Haz1558

You too, crossy, hope the appointment goes well. I suppose you'll be fighting off all those city women.

11:48 am

cgw8

Bye, crossy.

11:48 am

MollyL

Eva, this is why I bring my lunch to work. I never get my order wrong. : P

11:51 am

Judi

Good morning, all. I suppose I should not have read the headlines on MSN before coming here. Now I'm all bummed out. Hence the change of icon.

11:51 am

Haz1558

Hello, Judi.

11:51 am

cgw8

Hi. What was the headline?

11:53 am

Judi

Uhg. Two actually that were particularly awful. A father in Michigan who (most likely) murdered his three young sons then failed at his own suicide. The other was a grandmother who threw her todler grandaughter over a railing at a mall. Child fell six stories to her death.

11:53 am

Haz1558

Awful, Judi.

11:54 am

cgw8

Oh my god. That's so depressing. D:

11:54 am

MollyL

Lets all practice random acts of kindness to balance that stuff out. Nice icon Judi.

11:54 am

Judi

So, I'm suggesting that everyone go out and perform some acts of kindness today. Let's try to restore each others faith in humanity.

11:55 am

cgw8

Good idea. :D

11:55 am

EvaNadine

speaking of random acts of kindness, i love this gal and her site:
http://www.secretagentl.com/

11:55 am

Haz1558

It's horrendous to know what people are capable of doing when the mind is unbalanced.

11:58 am

Judi

Anyone who murders a child most certainly must be possessed by the Devil himself.

12:03 pm

MollyL

Eva, that's a great web site. She must have a lot of fun doing those kinds of things.

12:05 pm

EvaNadine

molly -- she used to actually keep her identity a secret, but her little project has exploded to epic proportions, so she finally revealed her identity. but she still keeps those of her affiliated agents a mystery!
and people have performed little acts of kindness all over the WORLD in her name. its amazing!

12:06 pm

Judi

That is very cool. Paying it forward. Way to go.

12:08 pm

Judi

My connection keeps bonking on me here.

12:13 pm

MollyL

When I win the lottery, I have a non-profit I want to start and I'd like to keep it anonymous. But people tell me that once it takes off, it would be hard to keep that way.

12:14 pm

MollyL

I accidentally performed a random act of kindness last month when I forgot to take my 20 dollars cash back at the grocery store. I hope someone who really needed the money found it.

12:16 pm

Dorens

co

12:16 pm

Dorens

sorry and hi

12:16 pm

Haz1558

Hello, Dorens.

12:18 pm

EvaNadine

i tried to perform a nice act of kindness here at work, but people were SO cynical about it.
why are we so jaded?

12:19 pm

Haz1558

Maybe it's because they keep getting the wrong sandwich from that shop.

12:19 pm

Haz1558

That's bound to affect them.

12:21 pm

Dorens

my job is just so insane today - i am grateful for the peace of the grid

12:21 pm

EvaNadine

heh, maybe thats it, haz.

12:21 pm

Haz1558

It's quite peaceful in here today, Dorens and a nice grid as well.

12:21 pm

Dorens

getting the wrong sandwich can be quite disturbing

12:22 pm

Atalante

hello hello :)

12:22 pm

Dorens

hi there ata!

12:22 pm

MollyL

Eva, that's like when you smile and say hello to a cute child in the store and the parents look at you like you are some kind of pervert.

12:22 pm

EvaNadine

i (anonymously) left inspiring notes in the ladies room...
when i came back into the office, people were more or less saying "what kinda weirdo does that?"
thankfully, they didnt know it was me, but i was surprised it made such an impression on them -- just not the kind of impression i was hoping to make!

12:22 pm

Haz1558

Hello! Getting warmed up, Ata?

12:23 pm

Atalante

just about!

12:25 pm

MollyL

Eva, I wish I worked in your building. I would have thought that is the coolest thing.

12:27 pm

EvaNadine

i thought it was kinda fun. but now i know to leave my RAKs *outside* the workplace...heh

12:28 pm

Haz1558

When you say 'inspiring' what sort of inspiring do you mean? 'Let's work hard, girls' or 'Chocolate in each hand = balanced diet'

12:29 pm

Judi

Sorry for my lapse. Had to restart. I think the US Govt. is screwing up the whole web while they try to thwart WikiLeaks. Oy.

12:30 pm

Haz1558

Yes, Wikileaks has hit the headlines over here.

12:30 pm

Dorens

or "Remember the Little Engine that Could... I think I can, I think I can!"

12:30 pm

Judi

Sorry to hear your RAK's weren't well received at work, Eva. Jaded co-workers probably think you're trying to suck up or want something in return.

12:30 pm

EvaNadine

haz, for example, i left a note on the mirror that said "you are beautiful"

12:31 pm

FMitch

wb Judi and by the way bonking is not a computer term - it has a whole different meaning over here *grin*

Evening all.

12:31 pm

Judi

Funny, Dorens. I was thinking of "that little old ant. What makes him think he can move that rubber tree plant?"

12:31 pm

EvaNadine

FM, would bonking be akin to shagging?
;)

12:31 pm

Judi

Of course it does, FM. Just like snogging. Although, I think that's a UK original.

12:31 pm

Haz1558

(Waiting to see how FM explains this)

12:31 pm

Dorens

just so, judi

12:32 pm

Sally-catlover

Well that's a good moment to come into the chog!

12:32 pm

FMitch

LOL but not quite so base shall we say.

12:32 pm

jmcnrick

hi all

12:32 pm

Haz1558

Hello, Sally. And jmc.

12:32 pm

Sally-catlover

Hi everyone.

12:32 pm

jmcnrick

i thought snogging was a shade more benign than shagging

12:32 pm

Becca Lorum

Hello everyone.

12:32 pm

FMitch

Hello all :)

12:33 pm

jmcnrick

bonking is precisely the same as shagging

12:33 pm

Haz1558

It is, jmc.

12:33 pm

FMitch

snogging is kissing

12:33 pm

Judi

*pssst, Eva - I think FM just called us yanks "base" *

12:33 pm

Haz1558

Hello, Becca.

12:33 pm

Sally-catlover

When I was a teenager snogging meant not going "all the way".

12:33 pm

Dorens

and enable loves them all, yes?

12:33 pm

jmcnrick

she means basic not base!

12:33 pm

FMitch

but there I am going to end Intro to UK sex slang 101

12:33 pm

Sally-catlover

Snogging is a wet kind of kissing, though, FM.

12:33 pm

Judi

*dissapointed*

12:34 pm

Atalante

snogging = kissing in the rain

12:34 pm

Sally-catlover

lol Ata. Well of course.

12:34 pm

Haz1558

And to think this morning we were learning interesting facts about Irish history. It's all gone downhill.

12:34 pm

FMitch

It was bad enough earlier when I almost had to expain the sex lives of foxes.

12:35 pm

Haz1558

Ah, I know what's going on. er4/4 is in the grid. You know how it affects FM.

12:35 pm

Atalante

lol!

12:35 pm

FMitch

oh ha ha!

12:35 pm

Haz1558

Just saying...

12:36 pm

Becca Lorum

Anyone else freezing?

12:36 pm

Judi

What's so special about the sex lives of foxes?

12:36 pm

Sally-catlover

Ah, I wasn't here this morning. Will have to go back later. I am fascinating at how you explained the sex lives of foxes.

12:36 pm

FMitch

Loved yr email Ata but have had some email issue today hence no reply so far.

12:36 pm

jmcnrick

what was the interesting irish history?

12:36 pm

EvaNadine

judi -- if im base, it is all FMs fault anyway...

12:36 pm

FMitch

of course it is dear EvaN :)

12:36 pm

Dorens

i'm freezing becca. stupid heating system in my school is blowing cold air throughout my office

12:37 pm

Becca Lorum

Stupid heating in mynew house doesn't work Dorens - only 13 C in my living room. Brrrrrr.

12:37 pm

Atalante

I thought you would FM :)

12:37 pm

Judi

Ah. Suppose we should be "chuffed".

12:37 pm

Haz1558

Interesting Irish history - origin of the word boycott.

12:38 pm

FMitch

*passes out blankets and flasks of tea to Dorens and Becca*

12:39 pm

Haz1558

I think that counts as your random act of kindness for today, FM.

12:39 pm

Dorens

oh thank you fm, am presently wrapped up in my old granny grey cardigan for warmth... the rest is quite welcome. will have to remember to do same for others

12:40 pm

FMitch

:)

12:40 pm

Becca Lorum

Thank you FM. Am already wrapped in one blanket and have fingerless mitts on (which will explain any typos).

12:40 pm

FMitch

I know I should remember all the detail from this morning but I wasn't payting attention Mrs Haz and the dog ate my homework.

12:41 pm

Haz1558

You're a disgrace!

12:41 pm

Haz1558

I bet dfm remembers everything.

12:41 pm

FMitch

*hangs head*

12:41 pm

FMitch

I hope he finished his paper otherwise he will be in serious trouble!

12:41 pm

Judi

Uh oh. Someone's going to time out.

12:42 pm

Sally-catlover

Naughty step for FM.

12:42 pm

Haz1558

Still, you're obviously a kind soul, so we'll let it pass.

12:42 pm

FMitch

Oh come on - who can answer the question that HAz asked ....??????????

12:42 pm

dfmchfhf

my name was mentioned -- whaa?

12:42 pm

Becca Lorum

Sorry, I missed the question.

12:42 pm

Haz1558

The question being - what is the origin of the term 'to boycott'?

12:43 pm

Becca Lorum

Too busy texting in class.

12:43 pm

FMitch

lol we woke dfm up.

12:43 pm

dfmchfhf

nah, you made me look up from my other computer... GM now plays a sound when my name is mentioned >.>

12:44 pm

FMitch

*all I can hear is the sound of babblers scratching their heads or yawning or zooming to google*

12:44 pm

FMitch

Oh you are so sad dfm.

12:44 pm

dfmchfhf

sad? But I didn't even use the froney smiley!

12:45 pm

FMitch

that is true and you haven't <---- for a while too :)

12:45 pm

helensgirlkid

Not sorry for Mr. Boycott, but his poor wife!

12:46 pm

dfmchfhf

totally meant 'frowney'. :o/

12:46 pm

jmcnrick

named after a store owner boycott

12:46 pm

FMitch

Ah helens has either done her homework or utilised the internet.

12:47 pm

jmcnrick

THHHHEEEERRREEEEE once was a union maid who never was afraid\

12:47 pm

Becca Lorum

Oh, helens beat me to it. Rats.

12:47 pm

jmcnrick

of goons and geeks and company freaks and the supervisor who made the grade

12:47 pm

dfmchfhf

:o/ I think I was the only one who actually knew (most) of the answer without research, besides haz...

12:47 pm

Haz1558

A land agent, Captain Boycott, who tried to undermine the Land League's reforms. He was ignored, people refused to work for him etc.

12:47 pm

Haz1558

Time to make tea. Bye for now!

12:48 pm

Becca Lorum

Bye Haz.

12:48 pm

FMitch

zooz did too dfm.

12:48 pm

Sally-catlover

4:11 pm

Glantarell

The temperature is pretty poor for the time of year here. I have a 34 mile drive to work, over a mountain pass, have not driven in for last 2 days.

4:11 pm

mo

it is the worst weather we have had here in the 16 years we have been here!!!

4:11 pm

stidmama

when I do my next student teaching in the spring it will A) be a LOT nearer home, and B) in the opposite direction! LOL

4:11 pm

stidmama

yes, Mom -- our home runs in C

4:11 pm

Mom

good deal Stid

4:11 pm

Mom

okay

4:12 pm

Soodle

Ditto Mo. I bought solid fuel at the beginning of November, thinking it would last til February. I had to go and buy more this afternoon. :-(

4:12 pm

stidmama

the distance doesn't seem too awful, but mountain pass wouldn't be any fun at all right now!

4:13 pm

stidmama

oh gee soodles! (is solid fuel peat, or coal?) *Innocent mama look*

4:13 pm

mo

and they say it is "GLOBAL WARMING" PHOOEY!!!!

4:13 pm

Mom

two innocent looks

4:13 pm

stidmama

they have finally closed the northernmost pass in Washington... LOL

4:13 pm

Glantarell

No, the mountain pass is not good in the snow. For most people, a 34 mile commute is a lomg way LOLbut we are talking windy roads here.

4:14 pm

Soodle

A combination of both, Stid.... I have oil central heating,but my kitchen is very big, and is heated by a solid fuel stove. So I use turf and coal.

4:14 pm

stidmama

LOL mo -- would be better termed "global climactic instability" some places are much much hotter than normal, and at the wrong times of the year

4:14 pm

Glantarell

I think the current phrase is 'climate change'

4:14 pm

stidmama

*wonders what burning turf smells like* around here we use wood -- but I don't have a wood stove

4:14 pm

Mom

**dreamng of a very big kitchen**

4:15 pm

stidmama

I dream of someday adding a room to the house and putting in a really big wood-burning cookstove.

4:15 pm

Soodle

Oh, Stid... have you never smelled a turf fire? Its the most delicious, homely smell in the world. (it also makes the kitchen dusty, sooty and very hard to clean!)

4:16 pm

mo

we have oil fired c/h and a wood burning stove.

4:16 pm

sami1986

cl6/21? pretty pretty please

4:16 pm

Mom

we heat with gas but do have a fireplace to fall back on should we lose electric

4:16 pm

dianedecoder

there are several

4:16 pm

Glantarell

Turf/peat was a very traditional fuel in the UK & Ireland but I don;t think you can buy it in the UK any mre -not sure about Ireland

4:16 pm

Soodle

Glan - I think the current phrase is 'Fecking Freezing'....

4:16 pm

dianedecoder

one means nearer one is where you hang your clothes

4:17 pm

Glantarell

Fecking freezing ios spot on fer hwere LOL

4:17 pm

stidmama

here's a pic of the one I dream of... I am sure there are much nicer models but I think this one I could afford. http://tinyurl.com/35kq9f5

4:17 pm

4:26 pm

stidmama

well, where we live we have propane trucked in, and use that for all heating needs -- hot water, cooking, furnace. AND we have a generator that runs off propane to power the house (and the well) if the power dies. But I would feel more self-sufficient with a wood stove as well. Also, the house would be drier. We have serious mold issues up here.

4:26 pm

For those who have not heard, poster JBV was here early this morning to post the sad news that her husband has passed. I don't know who knows who around here, but I thought there might be some who wished to express their condolences.

4:35 pm

Glantarell

many words in welsh change their first letter depending on what has come before thne in the sentence - makes it damned difficult to look things up in the dictionary LOL

4:35 pm

redturtlehead

Oh No. Molly. I appreciate you telling me this. He had been very ill I recall, btu I thought he had been feeling better....

4:35 pm

stidmama

sorry, I mis-spoke... I was a passenger in the car

6:09 pm

Okay, better. There is only one option left. A violent takeover where The Little Tyrant (Snyder) is ousted. I will dance in the streets if that happens.

6:20 pm

MollyL

And now, I will share my Christmas magic. My youngest has had a tough year, losing his Dad (my ex) and his StepDad. So I went the extra mile and bought him a new TV for his room. It's very cool and flat screen, and will replace the old dinosaur TV he has in there now. This gift will be my Christmas morning smile. *Insert ringing of Jingle Bells*

Kaplan the Magne

6:54 pm

redturtlehead

JBV is such a love, I really hate that she and her husband went through all that they did.

6:54 pm

MollyL

I was too busy mad crushing on Captain Von Trapp to notice Rolf.

MollyL

I'm glad she has friends here too. As someone who has been where she's at, I can tell you that words of support are a blessing.

6:56 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Seeing that movie as an adult- it's kind of whacky. Like the wedding scene when the chorus starts singing How do you solve a problem like Maria in the cathedral.

6:56 pm

Kaplan the Magne

We had a moment of silence this morning.

6:56 pm

Kaplan the Magne

The Curtains, Maria!

6:57 pm

Kaplan the Magne

This is a bizarre conversation. Typical chogbabble.

Kaplan the Magne

Seeing the movie as an adult, I was much more aware of the actual situation involving Nazi's and such... I dont know how but I missed it..when I was ten.

6:58 pm

MollyL

The Von Trapp children DO NOT WEAR PLAY CLOTHES!!! *Cue smoke to come out of Christopher Plummer's ears*

6:58 pm

m9f9l

yes.. they get married and you think.. that was a nice movie... and then there's a whole 'nother part!

6:59 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I've been reading about the real Maria- it sounds like she was kind of crazy-

6:59 pm

redturtlehead

My favorite part now is when the Nuns show the car parts...

6:59 pm

m9f9l

9:10 pm

jmcnrick

i agree the mini icon looks like condoms

9:12 pm

Jacula

There was 'a statue of Liberty', which looked scarey, and a 'finding Nemo' with a glow in the dark tip (Nemo was the tip). I think, if I saw that advanced towards me glowing in the dark, I would dissolve with a fit of the giggles.

Nuff said!

If anyone's having trouble finding the co6/21 and 7/32 that follow on from the young male horse, it's the part of the plough-share that cuts the earth before the furrow is turned over. Normally spelled with a 'u; as the 2nd vowel.

9:30 pm

Jen - do you have lo4/5 (mad)?

9:30 pm

Jacula

And the plural lo5.12?

9:30 pm

Jacula

If so, add a vowel before the end for the 6/21 plural.

9:31 pm

Nef

hi again. How are you all tonight? I was here earlier, but my son came over and needed help with a project. I've only found 55 words so far. :-(

9:31 pm

jmcnrick

hi nef

9:32 pm

jmcnrick

go nef go!

9:32 pm

Jacula

Jen - so add the vowel for the 6. It's from the Spanish for 'mad' or 'disease', turned into US slang by Mexicans, I think.

9:32 pm

Jacula

Hi Nef.

9:33 pm

Nef

hi Jen, jmc, and Jac.

9:33 pm

JenMO16

there must be two lo4/5

9:33 pm

Jacula

Or rather by Mexican influence. It's a popular word in Westerns for a mad horse.

9:33 pm

JenMO16

i only have one

9:34 pm

Jacula

Ah, lo4/5 (2nd) sounds like a weight. Change your 2nd consonant for the mad lo4.

Good idea, jmc.

Jac, I was driving to work several years ago and noticed how many vehicles had intimidating names: Ram Charger, Talon, Firebird, etc. I decided right then and there that if the car companies wanted an intimidating name, they should make a silver one (with doors like the Delarion -sp?) and call it a speculum

My daughter and I needed each other earlier, as we cried with laughter and almost slid down a wall just before her graduation ceremony. My son was also tittering in a more controlled fashion by the time their Dad (my ex) returned from the loo. It was a 'you had to be there' moment.

Jacula

My ex, with large camera slung around his neck, was about to go into the Men's Room, when he collided gently with another man also on his way in there. The other man said, 'Sorry!' and then went to go through the door, my Ex said, 'I'm coming in with you!' Then, realising what he'd said, backpedalled a bit and said, 'Well, not actually WITH you.' The last thing daughter and myself heard, as they disappeared through the door was the other man saying, 'Well, it WASN'T an invitation!' Cue laughter outside for us two the needed repairs to eye makeup afterwards. When Ex returned and saw us gasping, he told us that the other man didn't stand 'in a stall' by him, but went into a cubicle. 'Can't say I blame him!' I said.

10:04 pm

ANY man going into a men's room with a camera around their neck would be suspect (IMHO)

10:06 pm

jmcnrick

does seem high risk behavior

10:07 pm

Jacula

Nef - yes, like I said, me and my daughter already needed to repair our eyemakeup after that, but when I asked their Dad, What possessed you to even SAY THAT?' our son cracked up,too. But, you had to be there.

Nef

I can imagine that!

Another funny moment was when my daughter was looking for a mirror to check her hair not long after we got to the Graduation venue, a racecourse. her Dad found a mirror beside a lift (elevator). Unfortunately, iit was an oompalumpa mirror, a joke mirror. I did mean to go back and get my reflection with her in that photographed, but we didn't leave the same way we went in.
