4:52 am

hahahaha very good! Privacy safeguarded? Boobytraps laid?

I total dislike words that start with vowels, expecially O's
5:05 am
sprite
for most of us vowel words are harder to find, for some reason. I don't know why that is, but it is the same for me.
5:05 am
suefrad625
oreo is too a word!!! heck it is a national pastime, like baseball and stuff!
5:06 am

No - I am being present to make sure work gets done - not that I've succeeeded thus far - he's only just started!
5:12 am
Glantarell
Hi sprite
5:13 am
eponaspride
clue for co5,12 please?
5:13 am
Kallia
I see...hard job for you then
5:13 am
Glantarell
He didn't get the funding he was looking for Kallia - which was no surprise to me.
5:13 am
Kallia
I have Sue coming for the day shortly
5:13 am
Kallia
me neither...so what is his next plan?
5:14 am
sprite
co5/12: a horn of abundance is called a co*nucop**
5:16 am
Glantarell
he has a wizard financial plan which involves us both taking out a mortgage to buy another property for me to live in, and each owning 50% of each property.
5:16 am
Kallia
oh yes that would work!
5:17 am
Glantarell
i have said that means he gets to live in a nice big house and i get to live in a little one and have to pay out £1000 a month for this privelige? Which wouldn't leave me with any money
5:17 am
Glantarell
I have told him to write all the figures out so I can get my head around it but i have no intention of doing it -
5:17 am
Kallia
well thought out like always Glan
5:18 am
Glantarell
apparently the building socity man suggested it. I can see thta it would benefit us both financially in the long term but what i want to get out of the move is lower living expenses!
5:19 am
Kallia
yes but you also don't want to fund him living in that house
5:20 am
Glantarell
true....
5:21 am
Glantarell
anyway, looking forward to your visit next week - have drunk too much alcohol this week and not slept well so need to chill out!
5:21 am
Kallia

Kallia
I was wondering re the booze.......I'm looking forward too

5:23 am
Kallia

5:24 am

1:19 pm
uusue2
thx, lilli - I have been thinking about her a lot since i've been spending so much time with my dad
1:20 pm
lilliann
it's good to see that he has recovered quite quickly and doing well on his own. i loved reading how he got rid of the trash!
1:21 pm
uusue2
It was pretty funny :-)
1:22 pm
lilliann
my husband lost his mam when she was in her 50's! i should do that with my mobility scooter as my daughter leaves half the recycling rubbish all around the garden instead of in the boxes! lol
1:23 pm
lilliann
i see your step mam is doing well now too, so that should be another load off your shoulders?
1:23 pm
uusue2
ah yes, we have detailed instructions about recycling here but my son seems unable to comprehend them. I am always going through his trash and re-sorting things.
1:24 pm
stidmama

1:24 pm
stidmama
dog is whining, don't know how much time i will have...
1:24 pm
uusue2

1:24 pm
lilliann
it is my daughter's job to do it and sort what goes in what box/bag for her pocket money but she just chucks it all in one box and then it blows around the garden!
1:25 pm
stidmama
your mother was a lovely young woman, sue. I bet you looked just like her at the same age!
1:25 pm
Judi
Hiya, Stiddy!

1:32 pm
Judi
We have "single stream" recycling. Everything goes into one giant bin. No sorting involved.
1:32 pm
Judi
Clue for Co6/36, please?
1:32 pm
uusue2
we have that too, judi, but things that can't be recycled don't belong in the bin.
1:33 pm
uusue2
co6/36 is related to co7/52, leave out a low-point consonant in the middle
1:37 pm
uusue2
they're verbs that relate to Siamese tw4/8
1:39 pm
Judi
Finally got it. Ty.

3:33 pm
cosdem
i accidentaly walked into his private office downtown.. oops but he was nice about it and gave me a button lol
3:33 pm
uusue2
In CO Springs?
3:34 pm
cosdem
yeah.. hes actually a Democrat and hes actually leading in the polls.
3:34 pm
cosdem
and he actually favors LGBT rights... if he is indeed elected this city has moved forward.. but the strange thing is the mayor before the one we have now is a lesbian.. go figure
3:35 pm
uusue2
Cool! My first inlaws (and first husband) were from the Springs but I've been reading that it had gotten extremely conservative lately
3:35 pm
uusue2
although a lesbian mayor would seem to be a good sign - not always, I guess.
3:35 pm
cosdem
oh it has but richard skorman owns a lot of businesses downtown.. poor richards, little richards etc im sure ur in laws know about them.
3:35 pm
cosdem
the lesbian mayor was incredibly popular and a liberal its such an oddity she won two landslides here
3:36 pm
uusue2
probably - that was a long time ago, though, and they are probably long gone themselves
3:36 pm
cosdem
she is now the director of colorado LGBT office.
3:37 pm
uusue2
weird things can happen in cities; they can be much more personality-dominated than states or countries, even a fairly large city like the Springs
3:37 pm
cosdem
true. im just getting more hopeful for the city
3:37 pm
uusue2
I was out there a few years ago, gave a talk on string theory to the Air Force Academy, but didn't look up the ex-laws
3:37 pm
uusue2
hope is good :-)
3:38 pm
cosdem
OH.. ex-laws.. the nnever mind about asking them lol
3:40 pm

"This milestone result caps a dramatic, long-term shift in public attitudes. From a low of 32 percent in a 2004 survey of registered voters, support for gay marriage has grown to 53 percent today. Forty-four percent are opposed, down 18 points from that 2004 survey."
4:28 pm
MollyL
Hoe the yard? What are you going to plant?
4:29 pm

sounds great, cos, what study is that?

Flowers or vegetables or both? I love hearing about people's gardens.
4:31 pm
foamflower
cos: very cool and very amazing, eh?
4:31 pm
foamflower
molly: ALL gardens are cool
4:31 pm
cosdem
umm we are gonnado.... herbs in planters,, flowers in planters and peppers, onions and green beans
4:31 pm
cosdem
yes foam very cool :).. it sux my marriage is legal in 5 states
4:32 pm
uusue2
My SO has been pruning the fruit trees and has transplanted the asparagus and rhubarb (so they are no longer under the raspberries, which made them very annoying to pick)
4:32 pm
cosdem
oh wow: Adults 50 and older remain more skeptical, but even that's seen change. Most notably, 33 percent of seniors now say gay marriage should be legal, up from 18 percent five years ago.
4:32 pm
uusue2
IL just legalized civil unions - not marriage but IMHO civil unions should be all the govt does for any of us. Leave marriage to the churches.
4:32 pm
foamflower
do you live in one of those states, cos? i do--mass, the first
4:33 pm
cosdem
we lived in iowa... after we got married we moved to colorado
4:34 pm
cosdem
civil unions "separate but equal" so not good enough lol
4:34 pm
foamflower
soright--used to think so, till friends listed the HUGE differences
4:34 pm
foamflower
any wi 6/30 clues?
4:35 pm
cosdem
more of the alcoholic grape drink foam
4:35 pm
uusue2
no, I get that, cos, I'm just saying that it should be civil unions for everyone - then it would all be equal, and marriages would be left to the religious. But that would require a lot of laws to change (to get rid of the legal institution of marriage for everyone and replace it by civil unions for everyone).
4:35 pm
foamflower
just saw your comment, uu--i agree!
4:36 pm
cosdem
yeah... i agree.. the govt should stay out of personal lives BUT if the govt is allowing me to get married ill take advantage of that
4:36 pm
cosdem
but in an ideal world - marriage- churches only.
4:37 pm
uusue2
oh, I agree, cos! Before same-sex marriages were legal anywhere in the US I had friends who had gotten married in Canada; it was tough for them here.
4:38 pm
snags
anyone know of the gov't not messing in things they should leave alone??
4:38 pm
foamflower
and ALL unions should need the civil imprimatur--minister/priest/rabbi/imam can do whatever they want but should not be enough for legal status
4:38 pm
uusue2
well, if I can think of something, snags, I'll keep it quiet :-)
4:38 pm

4:42 pm
foamflower
double egad
4:43 pm
snags
what's her party affiliation??
4:44 pm
uusue2
I have read that in elderly people the internal censor that keeps us from saying exactly what we think can stop working. Seems like that's happened to her. Too bad this is the way she will be remembered, rather than for her excellent service in previous years.
4:44 pm
foamflower
right again, uu
4:45 pm
cosdem
sounds like sophia petrillo :)
4:54 pm

Almond and Hazel are pretty much the same thing I think

6:33 pm

Lilli. My bf's Nan passed last Sat and my best friends Nan passed Thursday.
6:34 pm
herinfernallady
Uuse you can replace the hazelnut with almond but it will change the taste. Not that big a deal really
6:34 pm
herinfernallady
And using that Taste.com.au site if you go to advance search you can bring up Gluten free
6:35 pm
lilliann

9:26 pm

mmmm. *sneaks taste of cake early*
owie... *whimper*
9:26 pm

I have a rough idea, LBD. pretty common ones, so a good chance to practice the differentiation skills we were discussing all quarter long.

11:04 pm
Pinikula
I kept trying to pt everything because there's one stinkin' D in the grid...suffice it to say, it didn't help!
11:04 pm
jesdraggon
heheh. but the d is nowhere near the e's...
11:05 pm
Pinikula
yeah, I learned quickly ;)
11:05 pm
Pinikula
I kept telling myself, 'It's the thought that counts!'
11:05 pm
Pinikula
that didn't help much either LOL
11:05 pm
jesdraggon

11:06 pm
