jmcnrick
well better her than you!
5:52 am
rubyfoo
we have flowers and buds everyplace and it's warm in the afternoons -- lovely
5:52 am
sprite
maybe you can feed her to him and add another couple of stones?
5:53 am
jmcnrick
oh then i need to change to spring clothes
5:53 am
rubyfoo
good idea but will you come and help me chop her up (OMG, I hope nobody judicial is reading this!)
5:53 am
sprite
lol jmc... don't be too hasty. Haven't seen the tiniest bit of sun yet.
5:54 am
sprite
lol rubyfoo, don't be silly, it is okay to fool around, get some tension off you and then go back to being a good girl :P
5:54 am

We've had no snow since Dec but sometimes it snows here as late as April, but not cold

hahahaha bbq-ing gives me that instant Spring feeling!
5:55 am
rubyfoo
at least I'm not screaming! This is normally a very quiet house and there is constant talking now....
5:56 am
rubyfoo
it is so quiet that I can always tell which dog is where by their breathing
5:56 am
sprite
think of how you will enjoy the peace and quiet once she has gone home. When will that be, rubyfoo?
5:56 am
jmcnrick
now i match what my front yard looked like yesterday before the rain came to beat it down

I discovered that my lovely Ruby is crushing the daffodils, but it's her house, too
5:57 am

i take it we are not found of step daughter?
5:57 am
sprite
as we used to tell your kids, rubyfoo: only 3 more nights!
5:57 am
sprite
now what might have given you that impression, jmc?
5:58 am
rubyfoo
step daughter hates me, but masks it behind platitudes and offers to help. At our wedding, she went around to our friends saying "Why is he marrying THAT woman?"
5:58 am
jmcnrick
pb ru** dear!
5:58 am
jmcnrick
i am psychic
5:58 am
rubyfoo
maybe if it has foo after it, it doesn't count
5:58 am
rubyfoo
it's the first time it's been in the grid and it is making me smile!
5:58 am
sprite
ah, that makes sense. No, stepdaughter gives rubyfoo a hard time, and she snoops.
5:59 am
jmcnrick
ooo i hate snoops
5:59 am
rubyfoo
I made a file marked private and put in a bunch of innocuous stuff, didn't put "BOO" which is what I wanted. And of course she can't say anything
6:00 am
rubyfoo
can you imagine reading somebody's correspondence and also having a houseguest you can't trust?
6:00 am
jmcnrick
i couldn't cope since i have hundreds of client files in my house
6:01 am
rubyfoo
sprite suggested that I boobytrap it, but I didn't know how. I put all "sensitive" stuff into files marked "dog food recipes" and such
6:01 am
sprite
no I can't and I would go ballistic. She is lucky to have you as a stepmother and not me.
6:01 am
jmcnrick
you need locks
6:01 am
sprite
omg jmc, imagine! You'd need a safe!
6:01 am
rubyfoo
I forgave her for the wedding as I am DH's 4th wife (bluebeard?) and I don't really care if she likes me or not. And she's 60!!!!
6:02 am
jmcnrick
i have a safe
6:02 am
jmcnrick
well #4 would tend to make you suspicious
6:02 am
sprite
perhaps rubyfoo can rent it from you next time SD comes over
6:03 am
rubyfoo
I didn't think of using the safe, but that would have been a good idea. Unfortunately, it would have required putting everything into some external storage thingie, and I lack the skill
6:03 am
suefrad625
is she really 60 rubyfoo

6:10 am
jmcnrick

6:10 am

he doesnt get that this kid is not a kid any more and will have to crash when his mother doesnt take care of him or bail him out. Of course that wont be until way after she dies and the money runs out because she still supports her 25 and 27 year old daughters
6:17 am

A cardiac anesthesiologist is flying across the country for a conference, when a flight attendant comes running down the aisle, shouting, "Is anyone on board a cardiac anesthesiologist?!?!"
The anesthesiologist raises his hand and announces his presence, and asks what the problem is, and whether anyone is sick.
"Oh, no, no one's sick, but there's a cardiac surgeon up in first class who needs his table adjusted."

The history of Anesthesia:
2000 B.C. - "Here, take this hammer."
1000 B.C. - "That hammer is heathen, say this prayer."
1850 A.D. - "That prayer is superstition, drink this potion."
1940 A.D. - "That potion is snake oil, swallow this pill."
1985 A.D. - "That pill is ineffective, take this inhalation"
2000 A.D. - "That inhalation is artificial. Show me your back".
2025 A.D. - "Here, take this hammer".

A cannibal went to the local anesthesiologist complaining he was bored and depressed.
"The problem with you", the anesthesiologist said, "is that you`re fed up with people".

THINGS THE ANESTHESIOLOGIST WAS SAYING TO THE SURGEON DURING THE OPERATION:
- Better save that. We'll need it for the autopsy.
- Bo! Bo! Come back with that! Bad Dog!
- Wait a minute, if this is his spleen, then what's that?
- Oh no! I just lost my Rolex.
- Oops! Hey, has anyone ever survived 500ml of this stuff before?
- Darn, there go the lights again...
- Ya know, there's big money in kidneys. Heck, the guy's got two of
'em.
- Everybody stand back! I lost my contact lens!
- Could you stop that thing from beating? It's throwing my
concentration off..
- I hate it when they're missing stuff in here..
- That's cool! Now can you make his leg twitch?!
- I wish I hadn't forgotten my glasses.
- Well folks, this will be an experiment for us all.
- Sterile, shcmerile. The floor's clean, right?
- What do you mean he wasn't in for a sex change....!
- OK, now take a picture from this angle. This is truly a freak of
nature.
- This patient has already had some kids, am I correct?
- Nurse, did this patient sign the organ donation card?
- Don't worry. I think it is sharp enough.
- What do you mean "You want a divorce"!
- She's gonna blow! Everybody take cover!!!
- FIRE! FIRE! Everyone get out now!!
- Darn! Page 47 of the manual is missing .

poor mixi,back when we had the old home place with boilers and radiator one day in the summer we shut it all down,drained it,unbolted all the radiators and we had a friend in an auto shop with a sulphuric acid dip tank for cleaning parts and we dipped all 15 of them right down to the bare metal..what a job!
12:01 pm
jmcnrick
I use chemicals for paint on the raditors
12:01 pm
jmcnrick
lots of newspapers underneath
12:02 pm
jmcnrick
okay time for the silly conference call
12:05 pm
crosshair
only once they were right down to the bare metal,did we realize there must of been 100 coats of paint on the thing and it was all scrolled and quite a beautiful artwork in their own right
12:06 pm
crosshair
we left them bare and took a wire brush wheel to them to give them a finished look and left them at that
12:07 pm
crosshair
the wire brush wheel on the grinder give metal a burnished look quite nice
12:09 pm
mixi6
mine are the baseboard type, not pretty, and I have hardwood floors underneath that I don't want an chemicals on. Not sure I would know how to take them off. I am about 3/4 finished.
12:10 pm

12:20 pm
crosshair

12:21 pm
zoozzoom
Thats terrible, thankfully nothing like that has happened to me yet..and i have a lot of pine furniture.
12:21 pm
crosshair
the wood was probably not seasoned right and that along with the baseboards was its death warrant
12:22 pm
crosshair
a slab that large should of been seasoned in a unheated garage for 2 years same with oak
12:23 pm
crosshair
and the ends tarred
12:24 pm
zoozzoom
I bought mine from a pine furniture maker as i had mine made to measure..so i imagine he only used seasoned wood.

4:17 pm
Glantarell
funny that there all these words and also the pr5 which describes people who find this all very distasteful!
4:17 pm
cosdem

4:17 pm
MollyL
US slang for a man's tool is largely unoriginal.
4:18 pm
MollyL
Oops, just read back a bit. Yep Cos, brings a whole new meaning to Christmas present, doesn't it? : P
4:18 pm
cosdem

4:18 pm

4:21 pm
cosdem
pr7 is more of pr5
4:21 pm
MollyL
pr7 is what a person who doesn't like to talk about sex is like.
4:21 pm

MollyL
Although I thought there was a "c" in that word.

5:11 pm
scouser
they are busy retrieving buried conkers too. they look so funny with jaws stretched wide. saw one in the park last week that had horizontal stripes grey and pale across its tummy when it stood up on its hind legs, looked like a toy.
5:12 pm
scouser
capital letters have gone on holiday today.
5:13 pm

5:15 pm

5:16 pm
Glantarell

5:19 pm

There is a 60ft Lombardy poplar here which is trying to flower. The wood-pigeons eat a few buds, break off the whole twig, toss it to ground, start on next buds. I have swept up at least two garbage sack fulls of broken twigs. Second garden vandals.
5:20 pm
jillibus
I think I'm glad we have no wood-pigeons here. My blooming plants are protected from our dear deer by a fence.

Glantarell

5:21 pm

trouble with wood-pigeons is they are heavy. I think half the breaks are from these dozy birds trying to sit on inadequate perches.

When you are that sensationally good looking, it's better to use Yetta for an icon. It eludes all unwanted attention from internet horndogs.

take the extraction. you will feel better and be healthier, long-term. Can you get an implant? that's what I had to do when a tooth exploded on me
9:22 pm

can they fix with pinholes and lasers?

9:29 pm

it's like everything else - those on the sidelines want to criticize but it all looks different when you're in the midst of it
9:30 pm

that's nice, mcurl, I have wanted to put in something like that for Lucky, but not sure how to afford it -- alongside all the other things I have to fix.
9:30 pm

I would've been happy either way in that game. You do know who they played, right?
9:31 pm

oh, and the presumptive "graduation" date is June 10, Scrabs. I will celebrate by volunteering at the school and avoiding celebrations. I hate public celebrations. *shudder*
9:32 pm
mcurlschool
the one we got was only around 200 and you can set up the perimeter however you want, not limited to just a circle. I'll send you the name and such later as I'll have to look for the box.
9:32 pm
Scrabbler
I am the same way--I don't like large groups--too much stimulation for my brain

My daughter's in Brisbane right now and it's raining buckets again. I don't know ow she does it, but every country she visits gets some kind of weather disaster.:-(

back again, maybe I will get another word or two before crashing - have been up since 5 am (and I am on Babble time)

It's not only my daughter who does that kind of thing! If my other half visits anywhere else in the world, they get colder weather than they should for the season. If my stepdaughter considers visiting a country, war breaks out.

hi sue, jac. just home from a pretty keen concert with Kiri te Kanawa... her voice is shimmery and unbelievable
11:01 pm
Jacula
I, however, seem to be able to move around the globe without any problems.
11:01 pm
Jacula
Kiri is a great opera singer, Dorens.

ooh, I am so jealous, doren!

Dorens
i was so lucky... a beloved cousin had tickets and his wife couldn't make it. It was a very moving concert... NHK orchestra from japan, they flew out of tokyo 20 hours after the first quake hit.
11:04 pm
Dorens
how odd... Kiri from New Zealand hit by a quake and then a Japanese orchestra... booked, obviously, before their quake
11:05 pm
uusue2
lucky indeed!
11:11 pm
Dorens
and fireworks... night all
11:11 pm
