2:16 am

jillibus

Lol, flosey, I don't think you remember quite correctly -- Decarie Blvd was straight at that point. Since then there have been major highway alterations and a big interchange north of there, but even in those days I think you would have had to proceed straight north, then right and then maybe left to go to Ste Therese -- but I never did that so can't be sure.

2:17 am

flosey

I just remember having it pointed out to me jilli

2:17 am

the hotel was beautiful

2:21 am

jillibus

And we used to meet our son's train from his boarding school and take him to Ruby Foo's for a special homecoming dinner and his favourite dessert, which I think involved merigures, ice cream, and a hot chocolate sauce.

2:21 am

jillibus

Warm day for all the marathon runners though.

5:08 am

(remember to change the text too :) )

5:09 am

I can see it, Glantarell. A cake with candles and above it little flags with happy birthday in welsh on them.

5:09 am

Glantarell

changed it twice already hope it's 'stuck' now - both pic & text

5:09 am

Glantarell

It is perfect now

5:12 am

I hope rubyfoo steals some time to babble so she can see them :)

5:12 am

Glantarell

me too - although if the weather is as gorgeous in France as it is here in Wales, she may enjoy that instead

5:13 am

Glantarell

i am glad it's a small grid as i should be gardening so at least i should finish in time to do some garden work!

5:13 am

indeed! It is pretty good here as well. My love and our dog are away on the bicycle.

Glantarell

what has happened in the US?

5:18 am

sprite

hi lady, whazzup?

5:18 am

herinfernallady

There has been a lot of storms in North Carolina

5:19 am

herinfernallady

I also spent $400 on clothes for work

5:19 am

Glantarell

ouch - doesn't your emplyer provide clothes if you have to wear special things? or do you just have to look smart like me?

5:20 am

sprite

that is a lot :(

5:21 am

herinfernallady

Just have to look smart.

5:21 am

herinfernallady

And pants are expensive

5:22 am

herinfernallady

I got 6 items

5:22 am

Glantarell

i have a clever friend who only wears black and white so everything in her wardrobe ges with everything else

5:22 am

sprite

lots of combinations possible?

5:22 am

Glantarell

and she has almost limitless combinations

5:22 am

Glantarell

all her jewellery is black and white too

5:23 am

Glantarell

and she always looks fab

5:23 am

herinfernallady

I can't wear white

5:23 am

Glantarell

but black and white both make me look ill LOL

5:23 am

sprite

very smart lady

5:23 am

Glantarell

so most of my wardrobe is shades of turquoise in summer and autumn colours in winter

5:23 am

sprite

off white might work just as well.

5:23 am

herinfernallady

I think I got about 6 looks

5:24 am

herinfernallady

White is not one of my colours

5:25 am

sprite

I am an autumn type as well. In white or in hard colours I look like a mop someone forgot to wrung out and store.

5:25 am

Glantarell

i suit all warm colours but no cold colours - and it took me ages to realise you could get warm blues and cold pinks

5:25 am

sprite

*that is 'wring'*

5:26 am

herinfernallady

I am clear spring colours

5:26 am

Glantarell

pretty

5:26 am

herinfernallady

or warm spring depending on season

5:29 am

FMitch

5:36 am

herinfernallady

I am finally all natural

5:37 am

sprite

am getting greyer by the day, but I don't mind.

5:38 am

FMitch

I started going grey in my 30s and now it is very much salt and pepper so works well, no desire to dye it.

5:38 am

herinfernallady

I have a cat draped over one leg and heaven forbid I move even though my leg is numb

5:39 am

sprite

I like the look of greying hair. It is distinguished.

5:39 am

FMitch

lol herin, those cats rule the house.

5:39 am

sprite

lol not just the house, the whole household and everyone in it :)

5:40 am

FMitch

herinfernallady

5:41 am

sprite

goes straight to the part of the brain where guilty feelings come from, lol

5:41 am

FMitch

LOL depends what he was doing with the leg!

5:41 am

herinfernallady

Pandora sounds like a pigeon cooing

5:41 am

darn,missed her.remember everyone,random computer shut downs are often a case of overheating and the override temp protection kicks in when the cpu chip gets too hot.with a lappy made sure you have it resting on a hard surface and that all vents and fans are clear.with a tower random shut downs are a sign that the heat sink fins behind the cpu fan are clogged with dust bunnies and a cleaning is in order

9:08 am

Uniquity

Yes, Emmy's the queen of the castle now. She found me a diamon ring that someone lost in our island years ago (not joking!)

9:09 am

72 Temple Owl

really? wow! do tell!

9:11 am

Uniquity

She was just nosing about under the island for weeks, so the beau checked it out. There was a bottle cap, a tinfoil ball and a ring. White gold, three diamonds, from Birks. Apparently quite old. It's been there longer than us, and longer than the person who lived before us! What have you been up to???

9:11 am

Uniquity

((It must have been wedged in, as we HAVE cleaned in the past year :D))

9:13 am

72 Temple Owl

oh, nothing exciting, same old. i saw an emma like cat for adoption yesterday that had mickey mouse symbol on its side!

9:13 am

Uniquity

That's cute! Everybody needs an Emma : )

9:14 am

72 Temple Owl

i could not believe it! i was falling in love with a handsome coal boy who was given up after a baby came into the family, he just spoke to everyone who approaced. but i am not ready, i like the idea but not the reality

9:15 am

72 Temple Owl

do emmas;s spots look mouse like?

9:15 am

Uniquity

Oh, I'm so fond of vocal cats. We had a blue maine coon once (abandoned in a parking lot) who loved to chat and cuddle.

9:16 am

Uniquity

Honestly, Emma's spots don't really have much definition. She does have a black spot on her back right pad though, which I'm quite fond of. And a racoon tail...and a triangle of brown on her delicates..

9:17 am

72 Temple Owl

maine coons are awesome.

9:18 am

Uniquity

I hope to never have to give up an animal. I know that sometimes they can get quite cross with new babies, but I like to think it can be worked out.

4:36 pm

ChrissieDee

can you clue it please soodle?

4:38 pm

Soodle

Yikes. Gimme a minute till I figure out a reasonable clue, Chrissie

4:39 pm

Soodle

OK. DE plus abbreviation of a drug overdose, plus shortened name for the state of Arizona. Thats the 6. Add the first vowel for the 7.

4:39 pm

Soodle

Very clumsy clue, sorry!

4:40 pm

ChrissieDee

excellent clue - helped me :)

4:40 pm

jesdraggon

thanks, soodle

4:40 pm

Soodle

Oh, I'm glad ye got it. Its a tricky one to clue :-)

4:41 pm

ChrissieDee

thanks soodle

4:42 pm

dianedecoder

saw it clued... what you rub on underarms ..minus 3 letters for the 6 and 2 for the 7/36

4:43 pm

Soodle

Hello Diane :-)

4:43 pm

dianedecoder

possibly "secret" roll on that doesn't quite do the job ;-)

4:43 pm

dianedecoder

Hiya soodle :-))

4:43 pm

jesdraggon

is the ad7 related to the ad5?

4:44 pm

uusue2

only vaguely, jes

4:44 pm

dianedecoder

no

4:44 pm

Soodle

Nope, Jes. First three letters are the same, though.

4:45 pm

jesdraggon

got it, thanks

4:45 pm

uusue2

and the next two are scrambled (which is what I meant by vaguely related)

4:45 pm

Soodle

Sue, I am sorry to hear your step-mom is under pressure.

4:45 pm

dianedecoder

it's a weird short form past tense of putting a destination on the outside of a letter

4:45 pm

uusue2

thx, soodle, I am afraid that she will not be with us much longer

4:46 pm

Soodle

LOL Diane, I would have thought of the AD 7/36 word

4:46 pm

Soodle

as an additional couple of hours in bed!

4:47 pm

Soodle

Oh, I am so sorry. I have no idea what happened there. Apologies.

4:47 pm

uusue2

4:54 pm

jmcnrick

the sun is over the yard arm some where

4:54 pm

java2

di 2/6? would that be allowed?

4:54 pm

jmcnrick

2/6?

4:55 pm

jesdraggon

thanks, soodle. i swear i tried that... guess my brain is busted

4:55 pm

uusue2

ok, soodle, he's resigned himself to being without her anyway, and he is amazingly robust psychologically (much more than I am!)

4:57 pm

Soodle

Thats good Sue. I guess they made 'em stronger 90 years ago!

4:57 pm

jesdraggon

ge5?

4:57 pm

uusue2

Must have!

4:58 pm

java2

to make it that long/far, you've got to be strong.

4:58 pm

Soodle

I'm still laughing hysterically at the thought of JMC thinking she can leave a bottle of JD in the PB overnight, and still expect to come back the next day and find it untouched!

4:58 pm

jmcnrick

:-( no fair I put it there

4:59 pm

jmcnrick

should have saved me the last swallow

4:59 pm

jmcnrick

*sniff*

5:00 pm

java2

what's that hiding behind the bench?

5:00 pm

Soodle

I never touched it JMC, I swear. (Whispers... it was those Radical Babblers at the flip who drank it)

5:01 pm

jmcnrick

*perks up*

5:01 pm

jmcnrick

was not soodle you lielalaboohead! i was there for the flip :-P

5:01 pm

jesdraggon

5:02 pm

jesdraggon

*hands jam a ball of cookie dough*

5:02 pm

jmcnrick

that's okay i always carry a spare!

5:02 pm

jmcnrick

i wonder how bourbon cookies would taste?

5:02 pm

jesdraggon

ge5 please?

5:03 pm

Soodle

Those 'Flip-Folk' scare the bejaysus outta me. NBT & NBS within minutes. They are the Super-Race of Babble.

5:03 pm

java2

my mom always made bourbon balls at Christmas

5:03 pm

uusue2

ooh, bourbon and chocolate cookies, yum!!!

5:03 pm

Soodle

Ge and robot ending, Jes...

5:03 pm

granadan

robot ending?

5:04 pm

5:05 pm

jmcnrick

thanks grana that helps

5:05 pm

jmcnrick

whats a napron?

5:06 pm

jmcnrick

*looks for cookie sheet in pb*

5:06 pm

java2

it's what "an apron" devolved into

5:06 pm

Soodle

Grandan, robot ending is a roundy vowel, and a shortened version of I would..... Very common usage in cluing on Babble

5:06 pm

granadan

a tired apron

5:06 pm

jmcnrick

oh

5:06 pm

jesdraggon

oh my brain is NOT working for words today.

5:06 pm

granadan

ta soodle!

5:07 pm

jmcnrick

*puts the cookies in* some one else should have done this i am a terrible baker

5:07 pm

java2

they used to be called "napron" but the word got confused with the article and the "n" slid over through time

5:08 pm

jmcnrick

i did not know that java but that makes sense

5:09 pm

java2

just one of those things that stick in the brain to clog up the works

5:09 pm

jmcnrick

*hands java a toothpick*

5:09 pm

java2

"ouch"

5:09 pm

jmcnrick

5:17 pm

jesdraggon

5:17 pm

jmcnrick

5:19 pm

jmcnrick

*picks up a pencil and a pad* and why do you think you married two deadbeats?

5:19 pm

uusue2

I wouldn't, jmc, he's the type who really doesn't like living with anybody else

5:19 pm

jmcnrick

molly you moved your hat?

5:20 pm

crosshair

wild...totally wild... when you can group them into on es that made it to the altar and ones that almost got there..lol

5:20 pm

jmcnrick

that's okay he doesn't have to live with them, just marry them to end the alimony

5:20 pm

uusue2

and #3 wasn't a deadbeat when I married him, he moved to IL from FL and couldn't ever find work again, sigh

5:20 pm

5:22 pm

oops, but I just tried it and got an re5, so maybe so.

5:32 pm

jesdraggon

the re5, sue, is like putting new vinyl on a house, but without the last letter

5:32 pm

5:32 pm

jmcnrick

5:33 pm

crosshair

Si4/5 I'm done with th 4/5 puzzle, I will be an ai 5/12 and ai 4/5 you with a story of clues. It was a nice ar 4/5 day today. It was ar6/21 today than yesterday. It's my cr5/14 that nobody should spend a day inside on a beautiful day. So after getting dr5/12,I brushed my teeth with cr4/5 & put on some de6/24ent. Then I spent the day outdoors. First I read my Reader's Di 6/27 on the deck.I brought my dog outside too.He di 4/7 in the dirt while I am outside. Dog do 4/5 that all the time.He likes to be a ja5/24 and hunt for worms. I think that's just the od6/24 thing. I know birds like worms but dogs? Anyway,After reading my magazine, I put a di 4/6 in my ipod, I put my ha4/5 up and went on a bike ri 4/5. I had to be a do 6/30 and do 5/18 a few cars because I was a bike ri5/12 on a busy road. When I came back, saw dog was dirty from playing in the dirt so I gave him a bath.He thinks baths are the pi4/5 so he tried to be a hi5/14 and hi 4/6. He hates baths. He hi 5/16 under the deck,but I pulled him out and bathed him.My dog never hi5/14 successfully. He always hi 4/5 me with his paws and tries to run away whenever I give him a bath. After bathing the dog, I brought the ra 5/12 outside&I worked in the garden while listening to the music. Dog tried to be a ra6/21 and ra4/5 my work area. Jack thought there may be worms in the garden. Jack ra 6/24 a small area and I had to re4/5 my work. Th 4/5 is the end of the story Now that I have ai5/14 with my story of clues,I must bid you ad 5/14.I am going to watch tv for the re4/4 of the night.Hope that you got the gi4/6 of my clues.

Anyway means "anyhow" or "in any case." "Anyways" is a strictly colloquial expression, as ungrammatical in written English as "anyhows" because adverbs cannot be plural.

6:55 pm

Minveryork

Oh Shoot!Did I use anyways in my story?Hate it when people say that word. I'll have to back & reread story

6:55 pm

jmcnrick

i don't think so min

Although a lot of people write it, no such word as alot exists in English. Whether it is "a lot of fun" or "I like you a lot," a lot is always two words.

when the old ones go, I get a mastiff and the man gets a rott, poor idiot child is only 84 pounds today

8:52 pm

lbdawger

what breed is the idiot child?

8:53 pm

shdybr8

good q, some sort of boxer, labbish, maybe catahoula? i really don't know, but he has boxer colors, just not so jowly or stout

8:53 pm

phandmd

re 5/12 2nd one pls

8:53 pm

jillibus

shdy, the old desktop's motherboard died, but I had a laptop which I've used in the meantime. Now it's just a matter of getting the new desktop to behave. It's doing odd things with Babble, but local personal service comes along with the purchase so we'll work it out in time.

8:54 pm

lbdawger

not jowly is good! less slobber!

8:54 pm

Minveryork

Second re 5/12: I re***e at 26 Forest Drive phandmd.

8:54 pm

shdybr8

you'll get it, jilli, my last one had windows 7 too soon, so had to learn to go in and config each program to run comapatibly

8:55 pm

lbdawger

re + *** ceasar was a comedian

8:55 pm

jillibus

that's something that's bothering me about recent Dane breeders -- going for too much lip, making them drooly which they never were before. "Fluttering lips" is a FAULT in the Dane Standard.

8:56 pm

shdybr8

true, lbd, he's a sweetheart, but we think he actually is retarded, noone believes me until they observe him, but he nearly starved to death before he found me, at less than 8 wks

8:56 pm

phandmd

thank you min

8:56 pm

Minveryork

yw

8:56 pm

shdybr8

i agree, jilli, danes should be lean to their height and regal

8:57 pm

jillibus

My laptop is Win 7 so I had to learn that just before the XP desktop died. I like it now.

8:58 pm

Minveryork

Don't even know what version of Windows I have now

8:58 pm

shdybr8

i love win7, have the whatever pro version from work, but it did take a while to realize that nothing is compatible yet

8:59 pm

jillibus

I'm amazed to find that several of my ancient favourite are still ok with Win7.

8:59 pm

jillibus

Min, just go to Help on your browser and About, and it will tell you what you have.

9:00 pm

shdybr8

i think most of my issues are actually related to the video driver, anything with good graphics (i.e. normal video or tv) causes the whole puter to freeze, very annoying

9:00 pm

jillibus

60 Minutes is starting here -- back soon...

9:01 pm

phandmd

and done! Thanks again for the help

9:01 pm

phandmd

I can help clue if anyone wants

9:02 pm

lbdawger

whooooo hoooooo PHAN!!!

9:02 pm

Minveryork

Goodbye jillibus! I will see you later on in the chat log.

9:02 pm

Minveryork

Congratulations phandmd on fireworks! Hooray for U!

9:03 pm

lbdawger

i like windows 7, i use it at the college, but i have xp at home. makes for some interesting transitions when i'm teaching novices!

9:03 pm

Minveryork

I really don't care what version of Windows I have as long as my computer works. Just got rid of a virus on laptop. My computer was out of comission for a week

9:04 pm

shdybr8

i suppose so, but the really scary thing is when you have to mix the diff. offices!

9:04 pm

Minveryork

DUH!I got WindowsXP.I have had WindowsXP forever

9:04 pm

lbdawger

i feel your pain, Min. did that over the xmas holidays. thank goodness hubz had his laptop I could play on.

9:05 pm

lbdawger

brb, need more tea

9:05 pm

shdybr8

i remember when lsu switched from office old to office 2007, between semesters, faculty went crazy

9:05 pm

Minveryork

Fortunately my laptop is a work computer, so I got it fixed for free by some tech guys at my school.

9:06 pm

shdybr8

tech guys are almost always the best thing ever, in my book!

9:06 pm

Minveryork

I had Windows Vista on my other laptop which wasn't compatible w/a lot of things either, but that one died

9:06 pm

LeslieAnn

that's why i married one. well, one of the reasons.

9:06 pm

shdybr8

vista is from h&%$, was my experience

9:07 pm

Minveryork

Hi LeslieAnn! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

9:07 pm

shdybr8

smart move leslieAnn

9:07 pm

LeslieAnn

my computer always works :)

9:07 pm

Minveryork

Any profession that fixes things is a good profession.

9:07 pm

shdybr8

and you can get him to walk away from it occasionally? hehe

9:08 pm

Minveryork

Whether it is doctors, mechanics, techies, etc. It is always helpful to have one in your family somewhere.

9:09 pm

Minveryork

My family has a doctor&hubby's family has a mechanic

9:09 pm

shdybr8

i fully agree

9:10 pm

Minveryork

Unfortunately no computer techies in either families.

9:10 pm

shdybr8

so, min, everyone can get to the hospital, and has help when they get there - perfect!

9:12 pm

shdybr8

my sig. other is a mechanic, but of barges rather than small things, but he's a pretty good fixer. I do math, mostly useless at home, hehe

9:12 pm

Minveryork

Looked to see where you lived LeslieAnn in case that computer breaks again,but alas,you are too far away

9:13 pm

Minveryork

I am a teacher, but I am useless at home too shdybr8

9:14 pm

shdybr8

well, i spoke poorly, min, we're not useless at home, we just don't use our professions much there

9:14 pm

LeslieAnn

ha! yes we get calls from friends often with questions

9:14 pm

Minveryork

No, I am pretty much useless.I don't cook and I don't clean; I just babble. Actually, I cook 3 nights a week.

9:15 pm

LeslieAnn

that's more than me!

9:15 pm

shdybr8

hubby and i hung 2 doors yesterday, neither of us had ever done it before, they actually look pretty good

9:15 pm

Minveryork

I just started cooking so I used to be totally useless!

9:15 pm

Minveryork

Sometimes I would like to hang my hubby from a door!

9:16 pm

phandmd

well, I will check back later for clues...

9:16 pm

shdybr8

i am in charge of the pool, which was a swamp when i bought the house, but we floated around in it today - if you ever need cooking tips I used to do that for a living, and the ceiling fan would hang someone way better!

9:16 pm

Minveryork

Goodbye phandmd! I'll see you later on in the chat log

9:16 pm

Jillyjill

Hello all! needing help with the he6&7

9:17 pm

Minveryork

LOL shdybr8!

9:17 pm

phandmd

there is only he 4/5

9:17 pm

shdybr8

sorry jilli, don't have 'em

9:17 pm

Jillyjill

whoops...typo...need the de 6&7

9:17 pm

Minveryork

Maybe you can't find'em because there are no he6&7.

9:18 pm

phandmd

like antipersperant

9:18 pm

Jillyjill

lol..so true min!

9:18 pm

lbdawger

hi Jilly

9:18 pm

shdybr8

seems i do too, still can't help hon

9:18 pm

Jillyjill

Hi dawg...lordy wish it would WARM UP!!

9:18 pm

Minveryork

de 6/24 makes your under arms smell good minus last 3 letters and de7/36 word is plural of de6 word Jillyjill

9:19 pm

lbdawger

amen to that, Jilly. just had a nice little snow storm blow thru

9:19 pm

Jillyjill

ty..twisty...

9:19 pm

Jillyjill

we've only had rain here

9:19 pm

Minveryork

My friend in Minn said she had a snow day yesterday.

9:19 pm

shdybr8

move south, everyone, move south - it will be warmer, and all you have to worry about are hurricanes and crazy thunderstorms, but they come and go!

9:20 pm

Minveryork

Snowstorms come and go too.I'd rather deal with the snowstorms than those hurricanes & crazy T-storms.

9:21 pm

shdybr8

see, i'm a big baby about cold, i left colorado to escape it, if it's below 80 i whine (i.e. i whined and cried in my pool today)

9:25 pm

shdybr8

lbd, thanks for thinking of me, that means a lot, so here's to you **taps tea cup with big glass of ice water**

9:25 pm

lbdawger

i like the cold, i start whining when it gets to 80. but i am getting tired of the overcast skies and this white stuff. i'm ready for a change in seasons

9:26 pm

lbdawger

cheers, shdy!

9:26 pm

Jillyjill

25 to go....*sigh*

9:27 pm

shdybr8

i might own the only house in Louisiana where the utility bill goes up in the winter, it costs a lot more to heat up to 78 than it does to cool down to 78 (crazy me)

9:27 pm

LeslieAnn

poor foster dog tried to make friends with the kitty a little too hard, now nursing a scratched nose.

9:27 pm

shdybr8

awwww, **hugs baby dog**

9:28 pm

Jillyjill

LOL...poor pup...learning experience...

9:28 pm

lbdawger

poor baby, hard lesson to learn.

9:30 pm

shdybr8

we've been talking about another cat, since Fang passed last year, but there are 3 large dogs here, tons of strays in the neighborhood ( 1 of which I would love if she would have us) and we have a dog door, so not the most ideal situation.

9:33 pm

shdybr8

Fang was the kitty of a feral mom, and we caught mom and all 5 babies, fixed everyone, and figured if they didn't find homes, we could release them back and they wouldn't reproduce. Turned out everyone got a home.

9:34 pm

LeslieAnn

that's great shdy. my kitty is from the same situation, a friend took in mama when she was pregnant

9:34 pm

LeslieAnn

the friend ended up keeping a brother and sister, but they all did find homes :)

9:35 pm

joey

that's funny that this is where I came in. I have a house cat. I also have been feeding a door cat for over a year. A month ago, she had 5 kittens under my bushes. They started eating real food yesterday. I am taking mom to get spayed in two weeks. Have to figure out what I am going to do with the kittens, they are precious and have already provided hours of entertainment.

9:35 pm

shdybr8

i miss my Fang, we were together for about 10 years, she knew the older dogs and had put them in their place. She has a spot in the front flower bed now ( didn't want to risk the back yard and the dogs)

9:37 pm

shdybr8

splurge and fix the babies too, or ask local animal welfare societies for help if you can't afford it, then actively search for homes! It can work!

9:37 pm

Jillyjill

5

9:37 pm

joey

but I thought that I couldn't get them fixed until they were at least 3 months old????

9:37 pm

lbdawger

go Jily!

9:38 pm

shdybr8

your local spca will help you with contacts, especially if they don't have to take them in

9:38 pm

LeslieAnn

well babies should stay with momma for 6-8 weeks

9:38 pm

joey

I know where there is a low cost spay and neuter clinic, they did my car.

9:38 pm

joey

car

9:38 pm

joey

cat........ crap

9:39 pm

shdybr8

they prefer it that way, the surgery is much easier if you can actually see what you are trying to do, but under special circumstances, special things can be done

9:39 pm

Jillyjill

an fw!

9:39 pm

lbdawger

wow, veterinarian mechanics! lol

9:39 pm

lbdawger

whoooo hooooo JILLY!!!

9:39 pm

LeslieAnn

nice work jilly!

9:39 pm

joey

thanks. I will keep that in mind

9:39 pm

shdybr8

so, um, joey, what exactly happened at this "clinic"?

9:40 pm

LeslieAnn

lopped off a tailpipe lol

9:40 pm

joey

my own house cat got spayed. they took good care of her.

9:40 pm

joey

two tailpipes actually

9:40 pm

joey

lol

9:40 pm

shdybr8

no $%$#@, LeslieAnn, huh? lmao

9:40 pm

Jillyjill

Well, have some work work to do, so will check back in now and then...

9:40 pm

Jillyjill

stay warm dawg!

9:41 pm

shdybr8

just watch your tailpipes

9:41 pm

shdybr8

lbd, don't you know lots about critters?

9:42 pm

shdybr8

aren

9:42 pm

shdybr8

aren't you a domestic biological medical specialist?

9:44 pm

jesdraggon

swinging back through to see if anybody needs clues

9:44 pm

Minveryork

Congratulations Jillyjill on fireworks! Hooray for you!

9:44 pm

Minveryork

Hello jesdraggon! How are you? Welcome back to grid

9:45 pm

jesdraggon

i'm good, min, a little chilly but otherwise okay

9:45 pm

shdybr8

sorry, lbd, have a great night, I'm gonna go eat homemade ice cream, new treat at home

9:45 pm

jesdraggon

"domestic biological medical specialist"?

9:45 pm

jesdraggon

oooh, ice cream, yum!

9:45 pm

LeslieAnn

doing snip-snip for kitty boys

9:46 pm

jesdraggon

you are doing? sounds like it'd interfere with babbling...

9:46 pm

LeslieAnn

not at the moment, no. joey has some new kitty babies under her porch we're discussing

9:47 pm

lbdawger

shdy it was great visitng with you. come back again soon!

9:47 pm

jesdraggon

ah. yes, get them snipped!

9:47 pm

shdybr8

i will, or would rather not leave, just didn't want to overstep

9:49 pm

joey

jes, what age for the kitties?

9:49 pm

jesdraggon

to neuter? gotta have both testicles down.

9:50 pm

joey

well, they aren't there yet - at 6 weeks

9:50 pm

jesdraggon

a lot of rescues will do it if they're over 2 pounds. most private clinics/owners prefer to wait for 4-6 months so they're a little bigger.

9:50 pm

jesdraggon

but i've done them as young as 8 weeks for shelters, so they could adopt them out and not have to worry about getting them back.

9:50 pm

joey

k. thanks

9:51 pm

jesdraggon

no problem :)

9:52 pm

LeslieAnn

yep, my puppy was done at 8 weeks, condition of adopting her from the shelter

9:53 pm

jesdraggon

lots of shelters and rescues do them young, because it's such a pain to follow up later, and they can make adopters sign a form promising to have them desexed, but there's no real enforcement available...

9:54 pm

lbdawger

going to head to the pillows. see you all tomorrow!

9:54 pm

shdybr8

nite, lbd

9:54 pm

LeslieAnn

good night lb!

9:54 pm

jesdraggon

sleep sweet, dawg

9:54 pm

joey

this has been helpful, thanks

9:54 pm

lbdawger

*poof*

9:55 pm

shdybr8

jes, are you a vet, or a shelter helper, or both?

9:55 pm

jillibus

hello again :-)

9:55 pm

Minveryork

Goodbye lbdawger! I will see you tomorrow in the log.

9:55 pm

jesdraggon

hi jilli

9:55 pm

shdybr8

hi again jilli

9:56 pm

LeslieAnn

jes has pushed a cow's uterus back in. she's a professional.

9:56 pm

jesdraggon

hahahahahaha. thanks, leslie :)

9:56 pm

shdybr8

ok, *grinning* i just have'nt met her yet, was trying to! lol

9:56 pm

Minveryork

Hello jillibus! How are you? Welcome back to the chog

9:57 pm

jesdraggon

(and people think veterinarian is a neat/glorious job!)

9:57 pm

shdybr8

so i assume you are a large animal vet?

9:57 pm

jesdraggon

mixed, actually

9:58 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

hi all, are we still talking about the bovine-retro-inversion?

9:58 pm

jesdraggon

rural area, we do a little of just about anything.

9:58 pm

jesdraggon

only in passing, gwen, no details (yet)

9:58 pm

LeslieAnn

nope, just fixing kitties, i brought the cow up

9:58 pm

shdybr8

cool, that's what I always wanted to do ( horses, really) worked for my local vet all through high school, then dropped out of school, no chance of getting in

9:59 pm

jesdraggon

i don't work on primates, venomous snakes, or cats larger than a bobcat.

9:59 pm

Minveryork

Hi Book Doctor Gwen! How are you? Welcome to grid!

9:59 pm

shdybr8

thank god, for your safety!

10:00 pm

jesdraggon

that's exactly why--i don't have the equipment to do it safely, and i figure if you've got the money to own a tiger, you've got the money to take it to a referral hospital!

10:00 pm

jillibus

Tha Canadian Kennel Club has something called a Non-breeding Agreement, for breeders selling pups as pets before they're old enough to be spayed or neutered. It means that if the dog IS bred, the pups will not be registered. We sold all our pet pups that way, and people respected it, except for a woman we had trusted but who bred her bitch anyway. Consequently a whole lot of unregistered pups went to people who didn't care and probably ended up producing more mutts to end up in shelters. Infuriating!

10:00 pm

shdybr8

i was just advising on kitties before you got here, and i think i said roughly the same thing, but you have the letters to back it up

10:01 pm

shdybr8

i hate that, jilli, first of all, no idiot should breed dogs without planning, second, more people need to love shelter dogs

10:01 pm

jesdraggon

yeah, jilli--most of the people who sign an agreement will follow through. but you end up with a few that don't, and from a shelter's perspective, those few are enough hassle and cause enough new animals in the rescue population that it's better from a population perspective to do early desexing, even if it's not necessarily better from an individual animal perspective.

10:02 pm

jesdraggon

there's a lot of "herd medicine" in shelter situations.

10:03 pm

Minveryork

I wanted to stay up until the flip,but can't see myself twiddling my thumbs for the next 2 hours,so I am out.

10:03 pm

Minveryork

Goodnight to my fellow babblers! I'll see you tomorrow

10:04 pm

LeslieAnn

all righty min, have a great night!

10:04 pm

jesdraggon

g'night, min, sleep sweet!

10:04 pm

shdybr8

but i fully agree with spaying or neutering of all animals that aren't specifically intended to breed. All 3 of my dogs are rescues, are wonderful dogs, are mixed, and are my children. They have a wonderful life, they are my kids

10:04 pm

DR1965

help with the ad7 please

10:04 pm

jesdraggon

weird shortening of past tense envelope destination

10:05 pm

Minveryork

ad 7/36: sounds like past tense of what you write on an envelope before you mail it DR1965.

10:05 pm

DR1965

ty Jes and Min !

10:05 pm

shdybr8

great clue, Min

10:05 pm

jesdraggon

i'm totally biased, but must agree that rescue dogs are the way to go, shdy

10:06 pm

jillibus

jes, when we were active in the Dane breeding, early desexing was just not done. I remembert alking to a long-time Boxer breeder, who said that years before he used to get pups done at 6 weeks, but that seems a bit too early to me -- just about weaning time.

10:07 pm

jesdraggon

yeah, about the only places that do it that early are shelters. it's better from the individual pup's point of view to aim for about 6 months; give them more time to grow and be more robust before the surgery, but still catch them before their first heat

10:08 pm

jesdraggon

or before they start developing "dirty boy" behaviors

10:08 pm

shdybr8

i love them, jes, my only problem is that I have 2 very old dogs, when they pass, I intend to get another, but the pound makes me want every single one of them. What I've looked into is breed specific rescues, I would love to have another Newfie, but it isn't reasonable in Louisiana, so instead I would love to have a Mastiff or mastiff mix, not one from a breeder but one who needs a home

10:09 pm

jesdraggon

i could totally hook you up, shdy, but you'd have to drive up to washington to pick him up...

10:09 pm

LeslieAnn

shdy, you should try petfinder.com or adoptapet.com. you can search for specific breed (or breed mixes) that need homes

10:10 pm

LeslieAnn

i think adoptapet.com even has an email alert so if someone lists a specific breed dog by you it emails you

10:10 pm

shdybr8

I have an acquaintance who knows someone in the area who fosters mastiffs, so when the time comes.....but that time involves the love of my life (my Bear, the 14 year old), and my baby girl (Shady Lady, the 13 year old) not being here

10:10 pm

jillibus

therin lies the rub, jes -- by 6 months, the pups have gone to new owners who may or may not carry out the desexing. We were careful breeders, who used only dogs cleared of hereditary problems -- even only *possibly* hereditary problems, and none of ours ended up as rescues -- we took them back and rehomed them if things didn't work out.

10:12 pm

jesdraggon

yeah, no rush for that, shdy!

10:12 pm

jillibus

shdy, dogs from GOOD breeders need homes too!

10:12 pm

jesdraggon

reputable breeders are so hard to find, jilli. thanks for being discriminating!

10:13 pm

shdybr8

the thing is that I am also completely open to mixed dogs, i only want the ones who need a home to have one, and i prefer (actually insist upon) large dogs

10:14 pm

jillibus

shdy, contact the AKC for rescue organisations.

10:14 pm

LeslieAnn

shdy the current foster is a 90-pound lab/shepherd who thinks he's a lap dog. :)

10:14 pm

LeslieAnn

ar 6/7?

10:14 pm

jesdraggon

I probably deal with about 10 irresponsible/backyard/low-quality breeders for every reputable breeder i come across

10:15 pm

shdybr8

thx, jes, you understand that i am looking, because the unthinkable is approaching inevitable, Leslie, I would love him/her, but I will not subject my old man to any further discomfort in his life

10:15 pm

jesdraggon

a+horse and r5

10:16 pm

LeslieAnn

oh not asking! he has several folks interested in him. he is the biggest one we've had so far and i am enjoying him a lot!

10:16 pm

jillibus

reputable breeders are not hard to find at dog shows. Dog shows are not hard to find via the AKC (or CKC here.) There is a magazine called Dogs in Canada which publishes an annual listing breeders. You have to do a bit of screening, of course -- and so do they.

10:18 pm

Jillyjill

What kind of shepard Leslieann?

10:18 pm

jesdraggon

i don't go looking, jilli. i have enough rescues to never need to buy a pup. i mean that of the breeders who come through my clinic, those are about the odds.

10:19 pm

LeslieAnn

*shrug* german?

10:19 pm

shdybr8

My Bear came from the La Plata County Humane Society in Durango, CO, Shady came from outside KMart there, (across the street from ASPCA and I threatened the idiot who had her in a box in the cold. Nico (aka Idiot Boy came from near Butte La Rose and was nearly starved to death (he weighs 84 pounds now), Fang, who passed last September, was almost 11 years old, and lived a wonderful life with Bear and Shady, and hated Nico with a passion

10:20 pm

jesdraggon

i especially loved the woman who called me up wanting me to sign a certificate that her male dog looked purebred so that she could get it registered. She'd bought the dog from some random person in a parking lot with no clue of his history, then turned around and bred him, and kept insisting to me that she was "not a puppy mill"!

10:21 pm

LeslieAnn

oy gevalt.

10:23 pm

jesdraggon

i told her that i was not going to sign anything swearing to something i couldn't prove, and that any registry that'd register a dog based on pictures and 2 signatures that it "looks purebred" with no history wasn't a registry it was worth sending money to anyway.

10:23 pm

shdybr8

sorry jes, I have certain dog types I would like to live with, I would love to have a Newfie, because I love my Bear like there is no tomorrow. But I will also not subject another dog with that kind of hair to this climate. I love Mastiffs because they are large, kind, and short-haired. My dogs have the run of my house, I have a dog door, and a pool I bought for Bear (i.e. I found a pool for Bear, and a house came with it)

10:23 pm

jesdraggon

no, i meant i could hook you up with a mastiff, not a newfie. :)

10:24 pm

shdybr8

would love that, no matter how much I love Newfies, South Louisiana is not where they should live

10:25 pm

jesdraggon

indeed. not a hot/humid appropriate breed...

10:26 pm

shdybr8

Bear is only about 70 poounds, without hair, but he is so miserable until I shave him, at which point he looks like a badly maintained standard poodle

10:26 pm

jesdraggon

hah

10:26 pm

shdybr8

seriously

10:27 pm

shdybr8

he is the love of my life, and I will do everything i can until he doesn't feel better any more, i massage his shoulders, lower back and hips, and also lower legs

10:28 pm

jesdraggon

got him on a glucosamine + chondroitin joint supplement?

he takes 2 - 100 mg Rimadyl each day, doesn't seem to be enough, we're due to see our doc in early May, so I was planning to ask him if there is more we can do

10:30 pm

jillibus

jes- I wasn't suggesting that YOU look for dogs! I meant shdy.

10:31 pm

jesdraggon

you can use joint supplements with the rimadyl; they can be quite helpful

10:31 pm

shdybr8

lol, jilli

10:32 pm

shdybr8

and you would pick________ for your dog?

10:32 pm

jillibus

Anyway, I've said my bit and have 5 words to go -- in half an hour the new Upstairs Downstairs starts here and I want to concentrate on that then!

10:32 pm

jesdraggon

does need to be on them for about 3 weeks to see a difference. there are several brands of cheweable, your veterinary clinic probably has some, but you can use the human stuff too.

10:33 pm

jillibus

shdy, I was a Great Dane breeder...

10:33 pm

jesdraggon

Move Free and JointFlex are pretty reliable brands, but there are dozens out there. You just wanna be aware that supplements are not considered drugs, so they aren't FDA regulated. That means there are a lot of inexpensive brands that are cheap because there isn't anything in them worth paying for. stick with a brand you know, and if it doesn't seem to be working, try a different brand.

10:34 pm

jesdraggon

i'd start a dog that size on a full human dose for a month, then try dropping it by half. you may be able to maintain on half, or he may do better on a whole dose.

10:34 pm

shdybr8

so use the same thing i'm giving my husband?

10:35 pm

jillibus

And if you want a Mastiff, google the Mastiff Club of America or someting and I bet they have rescue organisations near you.

10:35 pm

jesdraggon

yup :)

re 7 words?

10:36 pm

jillibus

one re7 is what left over from something

10:36 pm

jillibus

I don't have the other one

10:36 pm

jesdraggon

what's left after you use up the good stuff

10:36 pm

shdybr8

the good news on the Mastiff front is that my therapist (you all remember that I lost my mind last summer) knows some people locally who foster Mastiffs, so when the time is right, I can meet a puppy (which to me means dog that's alive) and provide a forever home for someone

10:37 pm

jesdraggon

they are variations of same definition. if you have the re5, just start adding vowels.

10:37 pm

LeslieAnn

oh that's great shdy. also, btw, nice to see you here chatting again
