1:18 am

sammysmom

1:19 am

sammysmom

no maybe is was a medical use.. and the other thing i was thinking was arrow .....

1:19 am

gremlinn

some phantoms: cathouse, hardcore, roseroot, rootstock, futhorc

1:20 am

gremlinn

footrest

1:20 am

VolleymomDee

1:21 am

sammysmom

always wanted to work in a cathouse....... when i was young and had the equipment.. i was too damned moral.... now that i am older and more laid back., i don t have the equipment.. such is life huh??

1:22 am

joey

oh, sammysmom, you wanted to be a vet?

1:22 am

joey

oh, sammysmom, you wanted to be a vet?

1:22 am

VolleymomDee

1:25 am

sammysmom

lol old passions cos

1:25 am

cosdem

ah ok :)

1:26 am

joey

sammysmom, I knew that, I was making a joke. That is funny though that you say that. I was just talking to a friend of mine yesterday about roads not taken and I said that my life would have been much different had I accepted the offer of an over the road truck driver to be his kept woman in one of the towns that he spent the most time in

1:26 am

gremlinn

that is one confusing sentence there

1:27 am

joey

I could try to make it worse, gremlinn, if I tried harder

1:27 am

gremlinn

I got almost to the end and lost it at "kept"

1:27 am

joey

bet I could not have diagrammed that one, even on my best dat

1:27 am

joey

day

1:28 am

joey

that is what he actually said - that was about 30 years ago

1:34 am

sammysmom

i undeerstand joey .. had a similar offer from a prominent attorney in our town 50 years ago and of course, i was too "moral".. he found another gal and she ended up being a very wealthy woman and married later in life ... saw her about 30 years ago and she said she never regretted a thing.. said she had a wonderful life and was quite content

1:35 am

joey

I don't think that I was too moral - it just came from left field, I was tending bar part time, and he had been in the bar maybe 5 or 6 weeks in a row.

1:36 am

joey

I hardly knew him, and at the time I was dating someone else. Who knows what would have happened.

1:37 am

sammysmom

i just figured that if i did anything wrong that my grandfather ( the episcopal bishop) would swoop down and haunt me... silly me.. i have made hundred of mistakes in my life and nary a peep out of him !!

1:38 am

gremlinn

I'm not quite to 100 - I've made 83 mistakes in my life so far.

1:38 am

joey

OMG, an episcopal bishop. that is probably just one step below being the proverbial 'preacher's kid'

1:39 am

sammysmom

yup

1:39 am

joey

grem, that is too funny - had i just "met" you, I probably would have been impressed that you kept track. And also impressed that you only made 83. I can do that (and often have) in a week

1:41 am

joey

right now the big one is that over 20 months ago I started feeding a feral cat. 7 weeks ago she had 5 kittens under my bushes and now I have become quite attached, but they have to be adopted out. I can not keep 6 more cats.

1:41 am

jillibus

don't everyone yawn -- I got the ho9

1:41 am

sammysmom

thank goodness i haven't kept track of mine... i tried to forget them as soon as each one coolled down..lol

1:42 am

sammysmom

1:46 am

flosey

1:46 am

jillibus

nice hubby

1:47 am

VolleymomDee

I, too, have had a headache (for 2 days though)... just starting to wane...

1:47 am

flosey

yup, he sure is

1:47 am

jillibus

I had to pay out a fortune today -- income tax, house insurance, car insurance!

1:47 am

flosey

oh Dee, sorry, that's nasty

1:48 am

joey

damn, Jilli, have anything left?

1:48 am

flosey

oh boy, everything at once hurts jilli

1:48 am

VolleymomDee

hope yours goes away soon flosey... off til the morrow... *poofing with hugs*

1:48 am

jillibus

I just have a backache -- sorry about your suffering heads!

1:48 am

jillibus

gnight dee

1:48 am

flosey

it did, thanks Dee, took 2 pain pills - have never taken 2 before

1:49 am

jillibus

hmm -- good idea, pain pill for the back...

1:49 am

flosey

(scripts says 1 or 2 every 6 hours, so it's ok)

1:51 am

flosey

well, isn't that fo7/40 a funny one

1:52 am

sammysmom

i guess that is someone who pays before the job is done

1:52 am

flosey

oh, that one too, but I just got the second one

2:12 am

flosey

red boxes, had to go out and come back again

2:24 am

jillibus

I guess that was the hiccup, flosey -- I took a break and missed it.

2:24 am

flosey

yes, it's been happening quite often, right at that time

2:25 am

jillibus

Now that the hiccup has taken place, I have Lickety on the desktop. Just want to get halfway, then bed!

2:26 am

flosey

almost 2/3 but had help for a while

2:29 am

flosey

did you play in the tennis fund raiser today jilli?

2:31 am

jillibus

no, flosey -- had all those bills to pay and shopping to do. The insurance took a long time -- new computer methods, new company for car insurance, etc etc

2:33 am

flosey

ah, busy, busy, we weren't going to play but Pat Lee called so Geo played with him

2:33 am

jillibus

forgot my list for shopping so I'll have to do more tomorrow -- also ran out of time for some of the things I wanted to attend to :-(

2:33 am

flosey

oh, isn't that annoying, have done that a few times

2:34 am

jillibus

I have a huge pile of stuff to take to recycle too.

2:34 am

jillibus

I plan to watch the wedding so I think Friday will include some nap time before Happy Hour!

2:34 am

flosey

that's a job I always feel good about getting out of the way

2:35 am

jillibus

I always leave it too long and have a car full to take.

2:35 am

flosey

I will have to tape it, carpet bowling at 10: am - I wouldn't be much good if I watched it then

2:36 am

flosey

was going to set it to tape at 3: but someione said it started at 2: ??

2:36 am

flosey

**someone

2:37 am

jillibus

CTV said they will start at midnight -- the whole ting starts at 1 am with the preliminaries such as the arrival of dignitaries and the Queen.

2:38 am

jillibus

(over halfway here now -- bed calls)

2:38 am

flosey

I can miss a lot of the preliminaries, but maybe set it for 1:30

2:38 am

flosey

ok, me too, goodnight then

2:39 am

flosey

200 on the button

2:39 am

jillibus

I just want to see all of it -- diehard monarchist here

2:39 am

flosey

105 for tomorrow, whenever

2:39 am

jillibus

good for you -- only 157 for me. I may not have time tmorrow.

2:39 am

flosey

don't want the tape to finish too early

2:40 am

jillibus

Someone said the actual wedding will start at 3 am our time

2:40 am

flosey

me too, dr. appt in morning and meeting 1:30

2:41 am

flosey

ah, maybe I'll set it for 2: then, that should take in the whole thing

2:41 am

flosey

thanks for that info

2:41 am

flosey

g'night now

2:41 am

jillibus

Goodnight then -- see you some time tmw...*poof*

3:01 am

rubyfoo

good morning everybody! Another gorgeous day BUT if we don't have some rain soon, there will be watering restrictions by next week

3:02 am

Soodle

(((Rubes))). How are you? Sorry I haven't been in touch - things a bit manic here. But, good manic rather than bad!

3:05 am

rubyfoo

{{soodle}} are you recovered from your separation sadness? I used to cry (still do, actually) whenever I say goodbye to John and he's 47!

3:06 am

rubyfoo

I just started, arbitrarily, with the f's and got 13 right off the bat. Now I'll probably fall over dead. Have you had any rain? We are getting desparate!

3:06 am

rubyfoo

thou

3:06 am

rubyfoo

that

3:06 am

Soodle

I'm getting there, Rubes. It helps to chat to him by phone. The weather is spectacular here as well. How does your garden grow?

3:06 am

rubyfoo

whhops, sorry

3:07 am

Soodle

No matter - I already had them!

3:07 am

rubyfoo

don't tell anybody or the PB police will be after me! The first ever iris have started opening and the roses and little border plants are all opening.

3:08 am

Soodle

Sounds lovely Rubes. Jurassic Park, aka my garden, is awash with weeds! But my cherry blossoms are just heavenly right now.

3:08 am

rubyfoo

this is, by far, my favorite time of year, now 'til the end of June

3:08 am

Soodle

Ditto!

3:09 am

rubyfoo

here, because of the warm winter, all the fruit tree blossoms are finished, 6 tulips hang on, some fruit is already forming (but will fall off, e.g. figs) if the weather does anything harsh. Did your mower get fixed? I like it when the grass gets high, but then Ruby gets ticks

3:11 am

Soodle

Yup. I got the mower fixed. Now to find somebody to push it..... LOL. I have cut the lawns twice in the past fortnight, and still the grass grows...

3:13 am

rubyfoo

Burt always cuts it too short as he thinks he's still in Miami where it rains every day. Now it is always brown by June-July, so stops growing

3:13 am

westford

hi sood and ruby just popping in to say a quick hello

3:14 am

Soodle

Hi Westford :-)

3:14 am

rubyfoo

((westofrd)) hello!

3:14 am

rubyfoo

or hel..... lol

3:14 am

westford

sood last time I saw you here you had snow up to your butt

3:14 am

westford

(( ruby )) and ((sood)) too

3:15 am

westford

it's Spring-y here too almost overnight

3:15 am

Soodle

ROFL, West!! What a horrible image!! We survived the snow, and are now basking in a beautiful Spring. Life is good :-)

3:16 am

rubyfoo

and soodle is tall! up to her butt would probably drown me

3:16 am

westford

that's what I love about the seasons..they eventually change and make us forget all the horribles

3:16 am

Soodle

Could you both kindly cease speaking about my butt....

3:17 am

westford

okay lol

3:17 am

westford

how tall are you sood?

3:17 am

rubyfoo

at least you have one, mine has gone away.... :(

3:17 am

westford

hah I wish

3:18 am

rubyfoo

I am one of those scrawny chicken old ladies!

3:18 am

Soodle

Rubes is speaking comparatively! I am about 5' 7. But I think that, like a cow's tail, I am growing down. Must be old age....

3:18 am

westford

you've always had trouble keeping on weight?

3:19 am

rubyfoo

used to hold steady, but I don't get enough exercise (lazy clod that I am) so the muscles and therefore the weight have drifted away

3:19 am

westford

I am 5 ft 2 and 7/8's they just won't give me that last 8th inch

3:19 am

rubyfoo

I used to be 5'1" and now am less than 5! Horrible

3:19 am

westford

so you are a pretty tall drink of water to me sood

3:20 am

rubyfoo

so short, scrawny, chicken old lady

3:20 am

rubyfoo

Soodle

Haz - great clues. Thanks :-)

3:30 am

Haz1558

The thief began to co7/32 his face because he was so co8/45 about his actions.

3:30 am

NonoNanette

3:31 am

Haz1558

Haz1558

Nono - same ending as the ho9.

3:31 am

NonoNanette

ah ty haz

3:32 am

Haz1558

uusue2

yes, and through the Mont Blanc tunnel

12:21 pm

rubyfoo

wow! so you were very close to here

12:21 pm

uusue2

I lived in St. Gervais-les-Bains one summer, really wonderful

12:21 pm

rubyfoo

we went through the tunnel 2 days before the big fire which closed it down for a couple of years, but it is much nicer now

12:22 pm

JBV

ruby do you see a lot of tourists around where you live?

12:22 pm

uusue2

that was very scary, I was there long before

12:22 pm

rubyfoo

yes, Annecy gets packed with tourists in the summer but we live in a village about 15 minutes away, so as long as we stay off the main road around the lake, we're fine

12:23 pm

rubyfoo

they call Annecy "Venice of the North" because of its canals and old town. Not as pretty as Venice, though!!!!

12:23 pm

rubyfoo

it's mostly European tourists, though, very few Americans

12:24 pm

JBV

this is still all very much in my imagination but I find myself wondering if I should undertake such travel alone - I do speak French (and Italian) but I haven't been alone for a long time

12:24 pm

rubyfoo

sue: is St. Gervais where the little train starts for going up Mt. Blanc?

12:24 pm

uusue2

Yes, ruby, although I never took it

12:25 pm

beachboggle

Hi all

12:25 pm

rubyfoo

I find the French very nice, especially if you can speak the language. I had much more trouble in Italy, where I don't. The only problem when yo're alone, is theft in rail stations

12:25 pm

uusue2

jbv, I traveled by myself throughout much of western Europe, no problems (and when I wasn't by myself I had my then-young son with me). I also speak French, and a little German (enough to get a meal and a hotel room) and never had any problems

12:25 pm

rubyfoo

hello beach

12:25 pm

uusue2

hi, beach!

12:26 pm

rubyfoo

the first time we went to Aosta, we didn't realize that it was a Francophone place and struggled mightily to get around

12:26 pm

JBV

I was an intrepid traveler myself - but that was a lifetime ago - and I know the world has changed a lot - I do worry about security now

12:27 pm

rubyfoo

when my son was 4, with my first husband, we spent a year in Europe and while husband did research, I was pretty much on my own. It was a pleasure and having a cute blue-eyed blonde little boy helped a lot.

12:27 pm

rubyfoo

I'm too old for much travel now; the last time I went to London (alone), I found it very scary

12:28 pm

JBV

isn't it a shame - it makes us confront our age and not in a good way

12:28 pm

uusue2

I haven't been in the past 10 years, jbv, but always felt safe before that

12:28 pm

JBV

I used to get on a plane with a small carry-on and my Europe on $5 a day book - and never a care

12:28 pm

rubyfoo

that's true, JBV, and security threats didn't exist in the days when I travelled so much

12:29 pm

rubyfoo

that's the book we used for hotels the year we spent in Europe, '67-'68

12:29 pm

JBV

oh, I wasn't even talking about terrorist threats in airports and planes and such, I just meant feeling confident moving around in strange cities, talking to people, getting into taxis and stff

12:30 pm

JBV

I spent every summer in Europe from 1970 to 1976 -

12:30 pm

rubyfoo

when I went to London for a family party last year, I wound up taking subways and was terrified, but the taxis were just insanely expensive

12:30 pm

JBV

I was a teacher and it was very cheap back then - round trip for $199 !

12:31 pm

JBV

ruby have you been back to Queens - any family here?

12:32 pm

rubyfoo

we went over on the France and picked up a VW in LeHavre. It was actually cheaper to buy a car and bring it back on the boat, then travel around any other way.

12:33 pm

rubyfoo

My sister lives in Forest Hills but I haven't been back since our father died just after 9/11

12:33 pm

rubyfoo

my family (cousins mostly) is very spread out, but my California cousin is visiting in early May! Yay

12:34 pm

JBV

oh, sorry about your dad - I guess your sister prefers to come to France to see you ?

12:34 pm

rubyfoo

she came to visit 3 times, but now has a sick husband and can't travel. Her son and grandchildren live in London, so that is as far as I'll go.

12:36 pm

JBV

I understand that ruby, my husband's illness kept us close to home too -

12:37 pm

rubyfoo

I just read your profile, JBV, and I was sorry to read about your husband. This community is a great comfort for all of us. This morning, though, some foul-mouthed trolls came on and all of us ladies left.

12:37 pm

rubyfoo

I just read your profile, JBV, and I was sorry to read about your husband. This community is a great comfort for all of us. This morning, though, some foul-mouthed trolls came on and all of us ladies left.

12:37 pm

rubyfoo

sorry, didn't mean to post that twice....

12:38 pm

JBV

thank you ruby, it's been 5 months now and I am coming to terms with my new life

12:38 pm

JBV

and glad I missed the trolls - that always spoils the happy mood here

12:38 pm

rubyfoo

healthwise, it's been a horrible year for my husband, but he seems to be getting healthier

12:40 pm

uusue2

ah, I missed the trolls too. good thing....

12:40 pm

((ruby))

12:40 pm

cybernan

good morning/afternoon everyone :)

12:40 pm

JBV

yes, you've had a lot to deal with ruby - spending time in hospitals is no fun

12:40 pm

rubyfoo

{{crossy}} we needed you to chase the trolls this AM

12:40 pm

Kazzer99

hi Nan - i have just been to Salisbury today

12:40 pm

12:41 pm

Kazzer99

12:41 pm

JBV

hi crossy, kazzer, cybernan

12:41 pm

crosshair

howdy jbv

12:41 pm

Kazzer99

i think the troll problem depends on the time of day - some just act stupid but others are a real pain

12:41 pm

crosshair

but we all know the #1 rule in dealing with trolls

12:42 pm

SeaSpray

am back, tornado warnings were lifted at 10 a.m., we are still in the watch mode until 4 (3 more hours)

12:42 pm

rubyfoo

my favorite word in this grid is fu7/44, sort of an old-fashioned word

12:42 pm

rubyfoo

hello seaspray, how are you feeling?

12:42 pm

Kazzer99

hi all - there that covers it - been glorious today and tomorrow we will off to Exeter to go to the gym and then off bird watching

12:42 pm

SeaSpray

Great ruby, how are you?

12:43 pm

rubyfoo

our heron is back again for the season

12:43 pm

SeaSpray

Oh how nice...I love herons

12:43 pm

rubyfoo

I'm OK, thank sea

12:43 pm

Kazzer99

i also like the de 8/50

12:44 pm

rubyfoo

he's a beauty but he's after husband's goldfish!

12:44 pm

uusue2

hi, sea, glad your warnings are over!

12:44 pm

rubyfoo

I don't have the de8....putting the monkeys to work

12:44 pm

JBV

hate to chat and run - but I've got to think about something for lunch - take care, everyone

12:44 pm

SeaSpray

Oh yes, they love fish

12:44 pm

rubyfoo

any hint on it?

12:44 pm

SeaSpray

bye JBV

12:44 pm

uusue2

and hi to everyone else, was looking back at the log to see the trolls. Not very clever, they weren't.

12:44 pm

rubyfoo

bye JBV, see you soon!

12:45 pm

rubyfoo

just nasty to have around

12:45 pm

SeaSpray

Hi Sue

12:45 pm

uusue2

bye, jbv! Take care!

12:46 pm

uusue2

the de8 is a lot of leftover stuff, like after something has been destroyed, ruby

12:46 pm

rubyfoo

sally told me about pond nets for the pond which seemed to work; now the heron just stands around scratching his head

12:46 pm

cybernan

de 8: fancy word for debris -- especially that left behind by floods, etc.

12:46 pm

uusue2

we get raccoons fishing in our pond, very annoying

12:46 pm

rubyfoo

got it, ty sue!

12:47 pm

rubyfoo

great word

12:47 pm

uusue2

and hi, nan, your clue is much better than mine :-)

12:47 pm

SeaSpray

lol, they are beautiful to watch

12:48 pm

uusue2

there is a heron that nests in the lagoon near my office and fishes in the creek

12:48 pm

uusue2

although right now it is pretty much geese, not nearly as beautiful although the babies are kind of cute

12:48 pm

rubyfoo

this fellow is grey with white and blue bands across his shoulders and a little black crest

12:48 pm

rubyfoo

which kind of heron is it, sue?

12:49 pm

uusue2

great blue. quite a regal bird.

12:49 pm

rubyfoo

lovely!

12:49 pm

SeaSpray

In fact when I played the game called Accrobabble my name was BlueHeron

12:50 pm

rubyfoo

I prefer the heron to the fish, but that's husband's hobby

12:50 pm

rubyfoo

now we know your secret, seaspray!

12:51 pm

SeaSpray

yes, I loved playing that game, then it disappeared

12:51 pm

SeaSpray

Now that I recall, it originally started out as Acrophobia

12:51 pm

ursh

hello all - could I please have a clue for the last st5 and st7

1:49 pm

rbud

1:50 pm

Kazzer99

ta rbud and i found the other one as well - 122 left now

1:50 pm

Nef

ar5/10 is just like the or5/10

1:50 pm

Kazzer99

and thanks nef

1:55 pm

Nef

125 left to go. Time to get up and moving for the day (it's almost 2 PM and I'm still in my 'jammies. It's my day of rest after my sisters' visit. DH and I are still pretty exhausted from that)

1:56 pm

Kazzer99

its 7:55 in the evening here and its time for tea but i am not very hungry so wil have a small piece of cake

1:58 pm

Nef

what would you normally have for tea, Kazzer? To me, (in middle of No. America) tea is a cup of liquid; no food

2:00 pm

Kazzer99

tea is several things - a drink of which there are many varieties, a selection of little sanwiches and cakes usually served at about 4pm or another word for dinner where i come from

2:01 pm

bichon

I'm having afternoon tea too, but no sanwiches, just tea.

2:01 pm

Nef

(I love to learn other people's cultures) So tea is like a late dinner or small supper?

2:02 pm

Kazzer99

and down here you can get a clotted cream tea which is usually 2 scones, strawberry jam and clotted cream served with a pot of tea - very yummy but defo a no no as i am addicted and i must lose weight

2:02 pm

lilliann

in the uk nef, we have breakfast, lunch and tea. breakfast lunch and dinner or breakfast dinner and tea, depending on where you live but tea is normally 4pm like kazzer said but that is now usually for older people or who are posh

2:03 pm

Kazzer99

no just a general word for dinner - i think it has more working class connotations than dinner - dinner is grown up and sounds quite posh

2:03 pm

Kazzer99

as lilliann says lunch is also replaced by dinner which is quite confusing to some of our foreign visitors

2:04 pm

Nef

Wow! That is very interesting! Thanks for the info! Clotted cream sounds very British, but I have no idea what it is.

2:04 pm

bichon

yummy clotted cream. Isn't it laike creme fraise

2:04 pm

lilliann

afternoon tea was usually cucumber sandwiches, cakes and pots of tea but scones and cream in the west

2:04 pm

Dachef

clotted

2:04 pm

lilliann

and hi all

2:05 pm

lilliann

no bichon, much thicker and fattier

2:05 pm

Dachef

clotted cream is a delicacy - it is the milk of an idiot.

2:05 pm

lilliann

i can eat creme fraiche but not a clotted cream parson

2:05 pm

Nef

??? is it like sour cream; or is it sweet?

2:05 pm

lilliann

*person

2:06 pm

BzznBea

Where does one find an idiot to milk?

2:06 pm

Nef

maybe like cream cheese?

2:06 pm

Flask1

am having cucumber sandwiches tomorrow!

2:06 pm

lilliann

no, its sweet but really thick

2:06 pm

Dachef

It takes about 5 clots to produce enough for one tea. There are farms all over the English counties.

2:06 pm

bichon

No, I've made creme fraise and it's cream or haf and half soured with cultured milk like buttermilk

2:06 pm

lilliann

hi hin. are you, ooh, for the royal wedding?

2:07 pm

Kazzer99

clotted cream is made from high fat milk by slowly heating he milk to blood temperature and allowing it to coold slowly - the fat then rise to the surfaces and forms clots - my grannie used to make it for my granpas breakfast

2:07 pm

bichon

definitely not creme fraise

2:08 pm

Nef

So, it's nothing like anything I've ever seen here in Minnesota then

2:08 pm

lilliann

oh wow kazzer. i couldn't be bothered to wait that long, like so many of us these days.in the olden days are grandparents worked alot harder than us, as things they cooked and washed etc

2:08 pm

lilliann

we have it easier than them now

2:09 pm

bichon

my grandparents, and parent had sour cream on everything

2:10 pm

Flask1

yes.....and strawbs/cream...crispy cakes....cream scones....and fairy cakes!!

2:10 pm

Kazzer99

its almost butter but not quite . Also you need to use unpasturised milk

2:10 pm

lilliann

i cook with soured cream and use low fat creme fraiche and soya cream, but i don't eat clotted or double cream. i don't like milk with cream on it

2:10 pm

Flask1

oh...and wee sausage rolls....and the bunting is up!!

2:11 pm

lilliann

can i come?

2:11 pm

lilliann

oh cool, so you're be infront of the tv all day and eat :)

2:11 pm

Nef

Flask, what do you mean by "and the bunting is up"?

2:12 pm

Flask1

of course you can....wish you would!!!.....but don't forget yer hat....we're all wearing one!!!

2:12 pm

Nef

Oh watching the preparations I think!

2:12 pm

lilliann

i was watching the news earlier about the people camping on the streets, some have tents and others just sleeping bags, they'll need more than that as it's going to rain

2:12 pm

Flask1

decorative flags are up in garden Nef....

2:12 pm

Dachef

nef - its a medical condition, 'the bunting is up'. Very embarrassing, I should think.

2:13 pm

Nef

Dachef; you're gonna get in trouble one of these days! ;-)

2:13 pm

lilliann

if i could get up there hin, i would, but car up in scotland already! david may be back for a few days after saturday hopefully, which will be nice as we haven't seen him for 30 days

2:14 pm

lilliann

dach doesn't agree with it flask, he's not going to be watching the royal wedding!!

2:15 pm

Dachef

two inbred half-wits getting hitched doesn't interest me in the slightest. There are far more important things happening in the world.

2:16 pm

lilliann

my hubby is there with japanese tourists dachef and doesn't wasn't to be, he's like you....humbug! :)

2:16 pm

lilliann

i'm happy for them but i won't be watching it all day, i just want to see her dress

2:17 pm

Dachef

Give my sympathies to your husband. I intend to hide under the table all day tomorrow until the media stop ramming it down our throats.

2:18 pm

Anniebrook

I definitely will not get up at 4:30 a. m. to watch their wedding. I believe it is good for England's economy. Tourists need hotels and restaurants.

2:19 pm

lilliann

well, i haven't been watching the news and don't read newspapers so i haven't seen any of it, apart from the tornadoes in the US. all my sympathies go out to those families who have been affected and i hope all babblers from those parts are ok and their families

2:19 pm

Anniebrook

Terrible devastation in Alabama

2:19 pm

Dachef

So far, the amount spent on the royal wedding by the gov. in the UK would be enough to pay the entire unemployed of the UK their benefits for a year.

2:20 pm

lilliann

well, good for london's economy!

2:20 pm

lilliann

the same with the olympics! mostly in london!

2:21 pm

lilliann

apparently they had 15,000 toilets delivered roday from wales. wonder how much that cost??

2:22 pm

lilliann

i did see the news on that annie, it was awful

2:22 pm

Dachef

The policing cost alone are enough to feed the entire homeless population of London for the next five years.

2:22 pm

lilliann

*15,00

2:24 pm

Anniebrook

Money is being spent that can help people out of work

2:24 pm

Nef

Dachef; you have to agree that there is a vast number of people that are terribly excited by this. If they weren't, the expense wouldn't be necessary

2:25 pm

Anniebrook

Is the government of England paying all the expenses of the wedding?

2:25 pm

Dachef

Sure, I have no problem with the wedding in itself, but the portrayal in the media is far too excessive. There are, as Annie pointed out, far, far ore important things happening in the world, but it seems all we have is this wedding.

2:26 pm

lilliann

no, kate's family have paid Â£100,00 and the royal family have spent money too, don't know how much

2:26 pm

Anniebrook

thank you, lill

2:27 pm

lilliann

but you have to remember dacheg, england has a royal family which other countries don't and people are proud of that and want to be included

2:27 pm

lilliann

*Â£100,000

2:27 pm

Yvo

sorry to hear you call them 2 inbred halfwits not nice ,

2:27 pm

Dachef

Well, I didnt vote for them. ;)

2:28 pm

cosdem

the wedding starts at 1am my time. i may watch the start if im in the mood cause i wanna see Harry ;)

2:28 pm

lilliann

no, i didn't think it was nice either yvo, as they're not and they are the new royals, they're not stuck up or like the older royals were. they both work

2:28 pm

cathy22w

hey all

2:28 pm

lilliann

no one voted for them dachef

2:28 pm

sallyds

She's bringing some solid, middle class blood to the family. Too bad her family is in trade. ')

2:29 pm

lilliann

they're the new generation

2:29 pm

lilliann

hi cathy

2:29 pm

Yvo

why is that bad

2:29 pm

cosdem

i just wish the media would try to stop comparing Kate to Diana

2:30 pm

sallyds

Cos, you've got that right.

2:30 pm

Yvo

trades men make an honest buck .

2:30 pm

cosdem

someone posted on FB a terrible, cruel joke about Kate and Diana he said
"kate, be sure to always wear your seatbelt and never piss off the Queen" i chewed him out then deleted him

2:30 pm

lilliann

that's what i like sally, that she is "common" she's not a lady or from peerage, she's one of us, even if her family to have lots of money, they've still worked for it

2:31 pm

sallyds

Right again, Cos. That's incredibly tacky and foolish.

2:31 pm

lilliann

kate will never be diane, as they are both individuals but she is like diana and will be loves by most people

2:32 pm

cosdem

im happy that william found love. im hoping for a happy marriage.

2:32 pm

Nef

This is a good discussion; but I really do need to get busy now. BBL and Happy Babbling Everybody!

2:32 pm

lilliann

apparently the royal family like kate

2:32 pm

lilliann

so am i cos

2:33 pm

cosdem

whats odd is william chose kate while the family chose diana

2:33 pm

cosdem

yet they like kate more than they did diana

2:33 pm

lilliann

i won't be spending all day watching as it does go on forever, but the wedding i will, plus the media as dachef said to go on a bit and drawer it all out

2:34 pm

lilliann

i think that's because of charles marrying camilla and things changing in the royal family, especially with what happened in this country after diana died

2:35 pm

cosdem

i wont be setting my dvr but BBCAmerica will be replaying it all day so im sure ill get to see parts... my tv is usually tuned to BBCAmerica anyway!

2:35 pm

cosdem

Charles I have a lot more respect for now than I did during the Diana era

2:35 pm

lilliann

the royal family wanted good, young stock!

2:36 pm

lilliann

it's a shame diana's not here to see it

2:36 pm

cosdem

I'm sure she's watching up above very proud and happy

2:37 pm

lilliann

i'm sure she is cos and she would approve i think

2:37 pm

cosdem

I agree. Kate seems like a wonderful individual.

2:38 pm

uusue2

<---- does not plan to watch this, or any, wedding at 5 am

2:38 pm

cosdem

what would Kate's title be? Princess of Wales?

2:38 pm

uusue2

but weddings should be happy occasions, best wishes to them both

2:38 pm

lilliann

i like the idea that william who i've always liked and harry, is turning up at westminster abbey earlier so he can mingle with his guests first

2:39 pm

cosdem

I think William and Harry have the best of both families.. They learned to be royal from their grandmother and they learned to try to be commontouch from Diana.. i thnk they're the future of UK and im glad of that

2:40 pm

lilliann

no, apparently....ahh, i can't remember now, but as she's not royalty she won't be wales

2:40 pm

cosdem

diana was royalty?

2:40 pm

cosdem

oh yes. her father was an Earl.

2:40 pm

lilliann

she will have williams name with hers

2:40 pm

lilliann

she was a lady

2:41 pm

cosdem

I had forgotten that. Shame on me lol

2:41 pm

cosdem

i still have the people magazine from when she visited chicago. the headline was "Di wows Chicago" was very fortunate to have shook her hand!

2:42 pm

lilliann

i think it is katie, william, and cant' remember the rest, but no-one knows properly yet until tomorrow after the wedding

2:42 pm

lilliann

you shook her hand cos?

2:43 pm

cosdem

yes i did

2:43 pm

lilliann

wow, did she talk to you?

2:43 pm

cosdem

just hi thank you for coming

2:44 pm

cosdem

but her handshake was firm and gracious, and not superficial

2:44 pm

cosdem

MSNBC is talking about how diana influenced william right now

2:45 pm

lilliann

i think we need william and harry to bring us into a new generation and i also like the fact that prncess anne's daughter, sara is marrying a rugby player

2:45 pm

cosdem

I agree. I think the new royals are giving the monarchy hope.

2:46 pm

lilliann

she was good for them and took them away abit from the royal family and let them be children but they knew right from wrong , how to behave and still talk to people

2:46 pm

cosdem

exactly. no matter what the royals think of diana, she may have helped save the monarchy

2:47 pm

lilliann

well, they probably won't agree but alot of people in this country will

2:48 pm

cosdem

the queen is 85 now?

2:51 pm

lilliann

she is, but she still might not like it but then she was bought up in a different era

2:52 pm

cosdem

right. shes so sequestered too. she may not see it

2:52 pm

lilliann

things changed after di died, they didn't realize that the public would go againt the royalty

2:53 pm

cosdem

but by following diana's example, william and henry changed the publics opinion again so basically diana helped save it. but thats just my two cents lol

2:53 pm

lilliann

henry? lol

2:53 pm

cosdem

harry lol duh

2:54 pm

cosdem

msnbc just said camilla is the next queen.. i think thats wrong isnt it?

2:54 pm

lilliann

i quite agree, i think alot of them is to do with di's mothering

2:54 pm

cosdem

theyre showing william walking around the public now

2:55 pm

cosdem

C's completed. phew.

2:56 pm

lilliann

i don't know what she would be called as the quenn's husband isn't king is he, he's a prince but then he's not english, so i don't know, but camilla isn't a lady so, not sure

2:57 pm

lilliann

i personally think and i think alot of the country do that prince charles should let prince william be king when the queen dies, but i don't think he will! he's been waiting too long!

2:58 pm

lilliann

yay for you cos, i'm still doing them, but i go onto other words for a break. i'm going back to lurk mode now so i can finish...eventually!

2:58 pm

cosdem

I agree. Charles will be a placeholder i think. he wont be king as long as his mother was queen for sure

2:58 pm

Kazzer99

that's because if he was king prince philip would have higher precedent over the queen. he is prince consort. Camilla will be queen when Charles is king.

2:58 pm

cosdem

doing a tribute to diana nowon msnbc

2:59 pm

Flask1

T's are done.....all 75 of them!!!

2:59 pm

cosdem

ahhh makes sense kazz! thanks!

2:59 pm

Kazzer99

ugh that's just morbid - she's been dead for a long time now

3:00 pm

lilliann

oh, ok thanks for that kazzer

3:00 pm

Kazzer99

prince Philip is greek

3:00 pm

lilliann

yay flask!! good for you :)

3:01 pm

cosdem

phillip is my least favorite royal.. i cannot stand him

3:02 pm

cosdem

brb gotta vote for mayor... one sec

3:03 pm

Kazzer99

William can only become \prince of wales once Charles is King - her title will probably be announced after the wedding - I think she will be Princess Katherine

3:04 pm

lilliann

earlier on the news thet said she won't be princess because she is not from a peerage but no-one knows until after the wwedding

3:04 pm

cosdem

done! civic duty all done :P

3:04 pm

cosdem

i love mail in elections

3:05 pm

lilliann

the same as camilla is not princess

3:05 pm

Kazzer99

hmm interesting - we will have to wait and see

3:06 pm

Kazzer99

she is duchess of cornwall

3:06 pm

lilliann

i thought she would be, but they said she will just take his name, after hers...so who knows

3:06 pm

Kazzer99

i think that was because she would be Princess of Wales then and that might upset some diana fans

3:07 pm

lilliann

i mean kate

3:09 pm

Kazzer99

yes i know its getting complicated

3:10 pm

cosdem

10:25 pm

Nef

any clues for that first ro7/28 (before the house covering) would be greatly appreciated here!

10:26 pm

Nef

nm, I just found it

10:27 pm

jesdraggon

more of...ok :)

10:27 pm

Nef

thanks anyway, jes. How are you doing lately?

10:28 pm

jesdraggon

not too shabby.

10:28 pm

jesdraggon

and yourself?

10:28 pm

Nef

getting more time off these days now that the newbie is taking call?

10:29 pm

jesdraggon

yeah; she still calls to check things, and i've had to stay late a few times to help, but so far have not had to go back in in the middle of the night for anything on her call nights.

10:29 pm

jesdraggon

(i say that, and now she'll get a c-section tonight or something!)

10:30 pm

Nef

I took vacation this week; my sister from Montana was visiting Mon- through Wed. and DH and I need to rest up after that. :-)

10:30 pm

jesdraggon

hope the visit was fun/busy and not stress/busy!

10:30 pm

Nef

oh-oh. I hope I didn't jinx you!

10:31 pm

jesdraggon

nah, if it's gonna happen, it's gonna happen

10:32 pm

Nef

fun & too busy. I'd bought tickets for the Twins baseball game too and was very happy we got rained out. However, we missed the make up game so I found out I threw $100 away for that. :-(

10:32 pm

jesdraggon

aww

10:33 pm

Nef

Yeah. I don't make enough to throw money away like that

10:33 pm

jesdraggon

does anybody, really?

10:35 pm

Nef

no, I guess not. However, it does change how I feel about attending another baseball game in the near future. The print on the tickets explaining a rain out was so small I couldn't read it!

10:37 pm

jesdraggon

use the dissecting scope at work?

10:37 pm

Nef

We've had baseball in the Metro Dome til last year (when DH was too sick to go to a game); so I didn't know what the rules were about rain outs

10:38 pm

Nef

I had to use 2 of DH's magnifiers to see it and still had trouble! Maybe I need to get my eyes checked...

10:39 pm

jesdraggon

i don't actually think i've ever gone to a baseball game, other than my high-school cousins' game

10:40 pm

Nef

We've enjoyed going to games through the years. My sister is a huge Twins fan; so when she comes we try to see a game

10:41 pm

Nef

Now that DH needs handicapped seating; I thought buying the tickets a few weeks ahead was a good idea.

10:41 pm

Nef

I won't do that again

10:42 pm

jesdraggon

and next time there won't be any left... it's a tough game to win...

10:46 pm

Nef

LOL! You're probably right! But I will wait til the week of the game at least

10:47 pm

jesdraggon

down to 24. last slog through the list (i hope)

10:47 pm

Nef

You can do it jes!!!

10:51 pm

jesdraggon

holy crap. not if it takes me that long to monkey every fishy word on the list!

10:52 pm

jesdraggon

you know those orange, edible ro4 veggies? perhaps I should eat some, i might see the grid better!

10:53 pm

Nef

LOL! Hey, I've got 30 left to find (chatting to much, no doubt); so you are doing better than I am

10:54 pm

jesdraggon

barely! and i didn't know we were racing :P

10:55 pm

Nef

We aren't racing; we're just both trying to finish

10:56 pm

jesdraggon

ok then

10:57 pm

Nef

but you will finish before me I bet

10:59 pm

jesdraggon

i dunno, i'm not making much progress. down to 20--that's only 4 words in 10 minutes

10:59 pm

Nef

Come on; you can do it! I know you can! :-)
