Morning Sprite - and Ruby if you are still around

3:08 am

sprite

hi lyn :) xxx
good evening to you.

3:10 am

rubyfoo

3:10 am

rubyfoo

don't look back in the chog, I put in a million little words by mistake before

3:10 am

lynxxx

a million? you HAVE improved!

3:11 am

sprite

not even on purpose? :P

3:11 am

rubyfoo

I was trying to do toomany things at once (laundry, putting away groceries AND playing)

3:11 am

rubyfoo

I'm really embarrassed

3:11 am

sprite

lol... bad bad rubyfoo!

3:12 am

lynxxx

pshaw - it's nothing Ruby

3:12 am

rubyfoo

tail between my legs

3:12 am

sprite

no don't you dare, you like that too much :)
Waggle!

3:13 am

rubyfoo

:D

3:13 am

sprite

*grins*

3:13 am

rubyfoo

I am trying to cook in the mornings so that I can watch the race without guilt

3:13 am

sprite

smart. And cooler too.

3:15 am

rubyfoo

the weather has been perfect, sunny and very cool in the AM and sunny and breezy in the afternoons.

3:15 am

rubyfoo

The figs are falling off, however

3:16 am

sprite

weather is pretty ok here too. I don't need the heat, I like the pleasant warmth though.

3:17 am

rubyfoo

it's too cool, I think, for the figs which are marginal for this region anyway. The tree is lovely, though

3:17 am

rubyfoo

when I had it planted, it was about my size; now it's massive and beautiful

3:17 am

sprite

which part of french are you, rubyfoo?

3:17 am

rubyfoo

can you grow figs in Australia, lynxx?

3:17 am

lynxxx

they spread around here like weeds Ruby

3:18 am

rubyfoo

we're 1 hr south of Geneva, 1 hr 15 NE of Lyon, 1 hr north of Grenoble

3:18 am

sprite

*takes lyn to the PB and pours her a nice drink*

3:18 am

rubyfoo

black ones or green, lynxx

3:18 am

rubyfoo

after my transgressions, pls give lynxx a free pass

3:18 am

lynxxx

see what you made me say Ruby!! you have to come with me

3:19 am

sprite

come on, after she managed to in!

3:19 am

rubyfoo

peach jam and strong coffee?

3:20 am

lynxxx

I think they are the common black figs

3:21 am

rubyfoo

135 words and still not nbt. I can't seem to find anything for the bottom c.....

3:21 am

lynxxx

mmm peach jam - not had that

3:21 am

rubyfoo

mine are green, and not as good as the black ones

3:21 am

rubyfoo

I make the peach jam from store-bought white ones when they get to be a little too ripe

3:21 am

lynxxx

try english bobbies

3:22 am

rubyfoo

in 13 years, I've only had ripe ones 3 times and that's even after they fruit twice!

3:22 am

sprite

I see, a nice area I think. Not too far from holland.

3:22 am

lynxxx

wrong - try US police!

3:22 am

lynxxx

but also try english small woods co5.14 & 6

3:23 am

rubyfoo

it's beautiful here, but you'd have to cross Belgium and/or Switzerland. I'll look at a map

3:23 am

rubyfoo

no, the c in the corner, but thanks for the small woods, which I had missed

3:24 am

sprite

yeah I just looked at a map. Through Belgium and then down along the border.

3:24 am

rubyfoo

long drive, unfortunately

3:25 am

sprite

co4 a secret way of writing
co5/16 package of drivers etc.

3:25 am

rubyfoo

but these distance would like nothing to lynxx; you could probably fit all of Europe into Australia!

3:26 am

sprite

I think if I ever will drive there, I will do it in 2 days. But indeed, for US or Australia, nothing here is long.

3:26 am

lynxxx

co7.40 & 8 are ideas

3:26 am

lynxxx

co & abbrev of the 12th month

3:26 am

sprite

forget the co4, btw, that comes from the upper one.

3:26 am

rubyfoo

that's it, bingo, linxx

3:27 am

rubyfoo

thank you for that

3:35 am

sprite

nice grid so far! 99 left without much st4ping.

3:36 am

rubyfoo

I love this kind of grid as, even without finishing, there are lots of available words. 77 left (but less available)

3:37 am

sprite

I like almost all kinds of grids. They all have their own rewards and challenges.

3:37 am

rubyfoo

uh oh, thumper is afoot (again!)

3:37 am

rubyfoo

see you later

3:37 am

sprite

bye rubyfoo

3:37 am

lynxxx

except those itty bitty ones

3:38 am

lynxxx

bye Ruby

3:38 am

sprite

yeah the very tiny ones are never much fun, indeed, unless they are so tight you have to spend some time on them nevertheless.

3:39 am

lynxxx

BBL too - I need to stop sitting and straighten up my back

3:40 am

sprite

all the best, lyn :)

3:56 am

Jellen

Thanks, sprite...

3:57 am

Jellen

It's driving me slightly crazy...

3:57 am

sprite

I know the feeling. Some tiles just refuse to be grayed out.

3:58 am

Jellen

My goal before bedtime is NBT...this is the lone holdout...

3:59 am

sprite

ah got it. no6/21 is it.

3:59 am

Jellen

Okay, looking...

4:01 am

I can clue it if you want me to

4:01 am

Jellen

Um, I think that would be good...

4:01 am

sprite

it is No + a helping of medicine

4:02 am

Jellen

Thanks, sprite! Tried everything around that...

4:02 am

sprite

it is a kind of silly word!

4:04 am

sprite

freep's 'person' for me is 'cotton'. Cannot stop trying it!

4:13 am

Jellen

My cat Toby is driving me insane tonight...he's into everything!

4:14 am

storm or snow approaching :)

4:16 am

Jellen

I don't know, but he just got evicted from the bedroom...

4:16 am

sprite

aw poor kitty, lol.

4:18 am

Jellen

It's my fault for having so many temptations...papers, figurines, Kleenex...

4:19 am

sprite

kleenex! No cat (or dog) can resist a kleenex. Terra eats them, ffs.

4:20 am

Jellen

I have the box turned upside down to discourage him a bit...

4:20 am

sprite

hehehe smart. But knowing cats...

4:25 am

Jellen

Phew! I find this grid dizzying!

4:26 am

sprite

am down to 16, but having trouble graying the upper P.

4:28 am

Jellen

Think I'll try to find sleep now...Good luck with the grid!

4:28 am

sprite

I hope you find sleep... or even better that sleep finds you. Happy dreams, Jellen.

4:28 am

Jellen

Happy day to you!

8:00 am

Anniebrook

Molly, I love Irish soda bread...whenever I see it in that particular bakery I buy it..He doesnt make it all the time

8:02 am

MollyL

Annie, it's an art form to make proper Irish soda bread. So often it turns out dry and rather bland.

8:02 am

Anniebrook

this bread is soft and full of raisins an delicious

8:02 am

MollyL

Ivesy, hard lemonade will knock you flat on your ass if you are not used to drinking much.

8:05 am

ivesy3

co 7 40 plz

8:06 am

I'm surprised po7 is.

I'm always surprised that repo4 is not a word. Whenever I mistakenly erase something I am putting on a message board, I have to repo4 it.

Once upon a time even the word today was hyphenated as to-day.

8:22 am

I re-watch the mini-series "John Adams" this time of year. It amazes me what the founding Fathers went through to claim our independence. Not to mention all the men who fought for it.

8:22 am

jmcnrick

(not to mention the train that went through about 50 yards away at 1 a.m.)

8:22 am

Mom

sounds terrible JMC

8:22 am

Anniebrook

jmc, where are you?

8:22 am

jmcnrick

I would recommend reading Jimmy Carter's "Hornet's Nest" for a fresh perspective Molly

8:23 am

Mom

I watched John Adams also, it was a great series. My parents are working their way through it now

8:23 am

jmcnrick

8:28 am

Hello, Mom.

8:28 am

8:29 am

haha the right wing were the loyalists in those days

8:30 am

I always thought of that as synchronicity Kap.

3:44 pm

annieM6713

ok....I've used the lickety split to help.....but how do you find the words you've missed? like a word you're not familar with

3:45 pm

Natasha

you can ask for a clue, annie

3:46 pm

Natasha

or "use your monkeys"--just type everything that makess the letter/point combination until you hit upon it

3:46 pm

annieM6713

i'm new here....where is this ask for clue thing?

3:47 pm

dianedecoder

you put it into chat annie.... e.g. co 5/14

3:47 pm

Natasha

right here--for example, I might ask for a clue for the next to last co 5/12

3:50 pm

MollyL

Sounds like a red flower?

3:51 pm

Natasha

thanks Molly, I actually had it!

3:51 pm

3:51 pm

Natasha

oh, nevermind!

3:52 pm

Natasha

annie, did you want any clues?

3:52 pm

MollyL

Yeah, dump that flower.

3:53 pm

annieM6713

I was just wondering ....after you've guess and figured out as much as you could if there was a place to see all the words you missed

3:53 pm

BzznBea

Not until tomorrow, annie.

3:53 pm

pippingeek

not till the next day, then they show everything for previous grids

3:54 pm

annieM6713

cool thanks

3:55 pm

MollyL

Oh, you were looking for pre-question a witness for a trial. I will go back to lurking mode now.

3:55 pm

JaxH

If you look in Lickety's Bbble Clues link below it gives you the number of words, their length and points value. It doesn't tell you the words, but you can work out some of those you've missed

4:05 pm

annieM6713

thanks I am using lickety split....but I still at a loss for the missing words.....just trying to figure out how to find out which ones I've missed but somene else here told me I can check tomorrow for the answers

4:17 pm

flosey

I read it last night jilli - you really researched it

4:18 pm

flosey

sounds like back to old school days hearing the guitars

4:18 pm

jillibus

thks flosey

4:22 pm

crosshair

jilli,reading about you old books.very precious indeed!!.you may think about writing them up in a open file format to then share with your local library.they then could offer them in e-pub format to the public on a loan basis for 17 days.a great treasure that should be shared

4:23 pm

mab

I read your piece, jilli. U.S. citizens can't be relied upon to know their history (or anyone else's), and some are positively anti-intellectual! The books sound marvelous and I covet them.

4:24 pm

crosshair

i am sure gutenburg.com would be delighted to work with you

4:25 pm

mab, I love your poppy

4:30 pm

jillibus

crossy, thanks for the idea -- but I don't know how they could be reproduced. Our local library is small -- I actually work there. I could ask our chief librarian if she knows how to go about it.
There were six or eight of these books -- my mother-in-law distribulted them among her four offspring. I don't think any of them bothered to read the contents!

4:32 pm

crosshair

they are copied the old fashoined way..one word at a time in open or html format..but i agree it is a lost of work,but books that should be shared neverless

4:33 pm

pippingeek

hi crossy, scrabbler and jilli!

4:33 pm

Scrabbler

Hi pip

4:33 pm

4:34 pm

crosshair

i can tell you,they used to use a ton of laudulum(sp) lol

4:35 pm

Scrabbler

Laudanum, I believe, and it was an opiate.

4:35 pm

Alright, I found 46 words. Now I am going to the park to mountain bike. BBL

hey jilleroo! lovely warm day today -- sent tom and the younger kid to the storage locker earlier, need to get more boxes before I can do much more...

4:38 pm

4:39 pm

stidmama

last I heard, you were just getting to NY and I was halfway through the master's! Now I am done with the masters --- you are.... ????

4:39 pm

mab

Congratulations, stid, on getting your teaching degree.

4:40 pm

pippingeek

well, i'm in new york

4:40 pm

crosshair

do not worry about growing up pippin,the most interesting people i know are all over 50 and still do not know what they want to be when they grow up

4:40 pm

stidmama

thanks Mab. I am excited to be able to teach on my own soon!

4:40 pm

pippingeek

rest of the plan is a little bit stalled, economy is not my friend in the trying to find work department'

4:40 pm

stidmama

that's an interesting place, pippin -- are you well?

4:41 pm

stidmama

no, the economy has been pretty piss-poor ( my current fav expression of contempt) the last couple years.

4:41 pm

mab

That's wonderful. You're so accomplished - a family (huge), a career, etc.

4:42 pm

stidmama

LOL only two kids, Mab (thankfully) ... how are you doing? Seems we haven't been on at the same time in forever!

4:42 pm

pippingeek

doing quite well otherwise, doing lots of rock climbing, dating a lovely fella, nice friends, just looking for work is all

4:42 pm

pippingeek

and yes, super congrats on your teaching completion!

4:43 pm

stidmama

rock climbing is apparently fun, for those who do it. I don't do things more than half my (insubstantial) height off the ground!

4:45 pm

crosshair

life is what happens while you wait for you dreams to come true,but sometimes if you are very lucky you find your dreams along the way

4:46 pm

stidmama

oh! I put one of my canes in the "giveaway" pile today... thinking optimistically, and someone else can probably use it sooner than I can.

4:46 pm

pippingeek

hey, can anyone clue the os7?

4:46 pm

hey molly!

4:49 pm

stidmama

thanks for the OS7

4:49 pm

mab

oh, stid - it just clicked: when I wrote 'huge' I meant as an accomplishment, not that the family was large. Teaching, it goes without saying, is huge too.

4:49 pm

5:30 pm

redturtlehead

that is going to be really neat dan. I am hanging out inside, but my neighbours as always have been setting off fireworks since Sat night. all day all night!

5:30 pm

wildcat17

fireworks are totally banned everywhere here so we're staying in

5:30 pm

wildcat17

even the city shows are cancelled. they're afraid of setting the whole state on fire

5:31 pm

wildcat17

hope baby enjoys her show

5:31 pm

cosdem

fireworks (including sparklers) are banned in our county here... police on every street monitoring... fines are both 1,000 and 1 week in jail. no exceptions.

5:31 pm

redturtlehead

the police keep driving by so I am thinking they are also not supposed to be shooting them off, but...it did thankfully rain 5 days in a row this past week.

5:32 pm

wildcat17

this is different from our usual restrictions. zero tolerance

5:32 pm

wildcat17

the stands aren't even open this year

5:32 pm

cosdem

same here wild.... usually we can have sparklers and these cheapo noisemakers.. but not this year.. we've had little rain.

5:32 pm

cosdem

it did storm for 15 mins yesterday though

5:32 pm

Dorens

we're going to the fireworks at the lake. which are lots of fun, especially from the inflatable kayak. but we always do that so i've never seen the televised fireworks

5:33 pm

redturtlehead

Hopefully no one will start any fires in your areas this year!

5:33 pm

cosdem

no tiki torches allowed either

5:33 pm

wildcat17

I hope not.

5:33 pm

cosdem

the first po6 please?

5:35 pm

wildcat17

the first one I have is groups of sheriffs

5:35 pm

redturtlehead

that sounds fun Dorens!

5:35 pm

cosdem

thats not it wild.. but i did need that too so thanks

5:35 pm

wildcat17

I'm not big on shooting my own, would much rather watch a show, but I get to do neither this year. First time ever I do believe. Have fun Doren

5:36 pm

crosshair

ty wildcat

5:36 pm

wildcat17

thought it might not be but yw

5:36 pm

Dorens

5:36 pm

crosshair

sorry you are so dry down there wildcat..we have been so wet up here,3 days rain 2 days searing heat,that everyone lawn looks like a putting green lol

5:37 pm

cosdem

ok and i cant find the po7.. i know it has the po4 before it in it.. i cant find the last 3 letters

5:37 pm

Dorens

one of these days, though, i should watch the televised fw;s.. i hear they're really spectacular from dc... have seen boston and they're good. will send you some rain if i can wildcat. we've had too much

5:37 pm

redturtlehead

Best show I ever had was at my uncle Tom's home, he has a big field and hired up some guys to do it, it was a pretty small show compared to the pros, but huge compared to the regular neighbourhood...plus we were all family there.

5:38 pm

redturtlehead

I feel like we can never have too much rain.

5:38 pm

Dorens

i always say i've seen enough, don't want to go out and deal with the crowds, noise, etc, but i end up going anyway

5:38 pm

Dorens

po 7 = very advanced degree from university

5:39 pm

redturtlehead

My parents hated them, so I really have not seen too many FW shows in person. The one time I went in NC, I was actually a bit scared, they are so loud!

5:39 pm

cosdem

ok found the po6 and the po7 ugh

5:39 pm

Dorens

wow, your parents hated them? i can't imagine growing up without fw's every year

5:39 pm

cosdem

ah didnt see ur clue dorens! ty anyway :)

5:39 pm

crosshair

last half decent home fw show i put on cost over 300 dollars! the town by comparison spends $10,000.00 on a 45 min show,so i took the family there on the first

I'm here too, red! although the tub sounds good - did a lot of hiking today (a lot for an overweight old lady, anyway :-)

7:58 pm

redturtlehead

sounds like a great day Uusue!

7:58 pm

redturtlehead

I like being out in nature, if it isnt too sticky hot. I walked 2 miles today and it was so hot and yuck.

7:59 pm

uusue2

it was nice although there were a few too many mosquitoes and it was a bit hot, still really pretty

7:59 pm

uusue2

I think we went about 4 miles total.

8:00 pm

redturtlehead

nice, OK hoping into the tub for about 15 mins. will be back for these pesky 39...

8:00 pm

8:05 pm

stidmama

how are you sue? have been thinking about you a lot lately -- things okay with the kiddo?

8:06 pm

uusue2

as well as can be expected - he's a bit at loose ends but is really doing pretty well. He vacuumed the stairs yesterday (which they desperately needed); now he is studying physics and calculus to make sure he doesn't forget it all over the summer.

8:07 pm

stidmama

good for him! I should have spent some time today working on the studies I am doing (for myself and my future students).... but instead worked on things around the house a little and made one trip into town; about to leave again.

8:08 pm

stidmama

it's hard to be in a limbo state.

8:08 pm

uusue2

we went out to the arboretum and did quite a bit of hiking - now I am sweaty and have sore feet :-)

8:08 pm

stidmama

LOL I LOVE places like that -- almost ready to try walking something long like that... almost. maybe by the end of the summer.

8:09 pm

uusue2

this particular arboretum is HUGE, has a lot of different areas - some nicely manicured, others pretty much forest, really nice

8:10 pm

stidmama

sounds truly lovely -- I envy your proximity to such a place!

8:11 pm

stidmama

ha. fifty exactly. I think I will have the elder stidkid get ready for his evening, and we will head out.

8:11 pm

uusue2

check it out at mortonarb.org - Morton Arboretum, of the morton salt people

8:11 pm

uusue2

see you later, stid!

8:12 pm

cool! will look at it this evening -- after Granny moved out of her house, we were looking at her grandfather's violin, and it was wrapped in an old morton's bag -- back when salt came in cotton bags!

8:27 pm

dianedecoder

8:28 pm

Scrabbler

TY, Red, and Diane, I found 2 for the top E. Now that right E, yes, stat will help

8:28 pm

dianedecoder

I think that's the earthenware jug

8:29 pm

Scrabbler

Ah, yes, isn't that obvious now. TY

8:29 pm

dianedecoder

after the fact, ... always ;-)

8:30 pm

redturtlehead

8:30 pm

redturtlehead

24 left, I am afraid I will force a finish on myself.

8:30 pm

Scrabbler

Uh, oh, my C is blank.

8:30 pm

Scrabbler

The lower C.

8:31 pm

dianedecoder

after I'm done, I'm never quite sure where some of the words have started from

8:32 pm

Scrabbler

I found co7 and 8 all by myself. *so proud*

8:32 pm

rururocks

oooh say can you C...

8:32 pm

dianedecoder

8:32 pm

Scrabbler

Hi Ruru. How has your day been?

8:33 pm

dianedecoder

by the dawn's early light.... and I know all the words to your american anthem :-)

8:33 pm

rururocks

actually pretty good.. I'm beat.. 5 sets of tennis in the heat

8:33 pm

dianedecoder

and today is your day of celebration... I hope it's been a great one !!

8:33 pm

rururocks

you should coach Christine Agulera diane..lol

8:34 pm

dianedecoder

LOL.... she's the one who forgot the words isn't she ?

8:34 pm

rururocks

yes

8:34 pm

Scrabbler

Oh, Canada....I know your anthem because it is sung at our Buffalo Sabres' games. I have listened to it since 1970! It is a beautiful song.

8:34 pm

dianedecoder

I didn't witness that, but I read much about it !

8:35 pm

Scrabbler

I'll be crossing the Peace Bridge into Canada tomorrow afternoon. I hope I am permitted to enter your country, and I hope the USA lets me return.

8:35 pm

dianedecoder

during my growing up, the words changed somewhat, and I still find myself reverting back to the old ones

8:36 pm

dianedecoder

that's in Buffalo isn't it ?? I have never been east :-((

8:36 pm

redturtlehead

that must be confusing diane...

8:36 pm

Scrabbler

I live 30 miles southeast of Buffalo.

8:36 pm

redturtlehead

I am sure Scrabs as long as youhave the passport you shall be fine.

8:36 pm

Scrabbler

Clue for N on right?

8:37 pm

dianedecoder

they didn't change many,... not confusing,... just when I'm daydreaming , the old words come forth lol

8:38 pm

rururocks

NOt yes + almost soup

8:38 pm

Scrabbler

nobroth, mayhaps?

8:38 pm

dianedecoder

lol

8:38 pm

rururocks

wonder if scrabs looks like a terrorist

8:39 pm

Scrabbler

What is "almost soup"?

8:39 pm

dianedecoder

see... that could have come from the other N, and I never remember.

8:39 pm

rururocks

the stuff that makes soup or sauces

8:39 pm

dianedecoder

soup base.... ;-)

8:39 pm

rururocks

I remember

8:39 pm

Scrabbler

I have a NYS "enhanced driver's license." We have to use that or a passport to cross the border.

8:39 pm

rururocks

no + a measurement of medicine

8:40 pm

rururocks

enhanced?

8:40 pm

redturtlehead

I do not think they would nehance my Fl iscence, but I do have a passport.

8:40 pm

Scrabbler

nobouillion, mayhaps?

8:40 pm

dianedecoder

we have to have passports to enter the U.S. now too

8:41 pm

Scrabbler

We all had to do that in 2010 as border crossings are stricter. We have 3 bridges to/from Canada in the Buffalo-Niagara region.

8:41 pm

uusue2

Yes, I remember when crossing back and forth to Canada was a real non-event but not any more

8:42 pm

dianedecoder

exactly

8:42 pm

Scrabbler

OK, I finally figured out the no6 word.

8:42 pm

uusue2

uh-oh, fireworks are starting and the dog is getting excited...

8:42 pm

dianedecoder

as in the new york ****k exchange ?

8:43 pm

Scrabbler

Yep, same here. I hear them in the distance. Are you in Eastern time zone, Sue, or Central? Central, right?

8:43 pm

uusue2

central, yes, scrabs

8:43 pm

uusue2

so it is not dark yet but a lot of kids are starting to set theirs off

8:44 pm

Scrabbler

Kids in the neighborhood have been setting off firecrackers for a few days.

8:44 pm

uusue2

here too - sounds like there are some bigger ones going off in the distance too, though

8:45 pm

dianedecoder

I just learned a new word from my granddaughter's facebook post... I had to look it up !!

8:46 pm

Scrabbler

Can you share the word?

8:47 pm

dianedecoder

collodion ..... she's an electroencephalographic technician, and she said she can't stand the smell of it after a busy day today !!!

8:47 pm

dianedecoder

I told her she should get a diploma just for spelling her "title".... LOL

8:47 pm

Scrabbler

Yes, it's a skin coating

8:48 pm

dianedecoder

they use it to attach the probes to the skull when doing tests

8:48 pm

Scrabbler

We use it to cover wounds sometimes.

8:49 pm

dianedecoder

yes... I saw that use for it as well.

8:49 pm

dianedecoder

I get her to read my skull and to take her time..... mostly because I love the feeling !! ( she is 22 )

8:49 pm

Scrabbler

At 116/105 I must head to bed now. My body is seizing up after a day of yard work and gardening.

8:50 pm

dianedecoder

sleep well Scrabbler.... night night

8:50 pm

uusue2

night, scrabs!

8:50 pm

Scrabbler

Of course I must find just a few more words before I leave.

8:51 pm

redturtlehead

I could use a little help with the first so 4, just not processing it tonight.

8:51 pm

dianedecoder

of course !! the "just one more word" syndrome !!

8:51 pm

redturtlehead

NM

8:51 pm

Scrabbler

Pieces of grass for lawns?

8:52 pm

uusue2

I am at 145/76 but still have a blank tile...

8:53 pm

redturtlehead

i have 7 left.

8:53 pm

Scrabbler

The right N is blank for me. no6 came off the other N, I see.

8:53 pm

uusue2

...but not any more.

8:53 pm

Scrabbler

Go Red go!

8:53 pm

uusue2

I have two no6, scrabs, one kind of like the stuff that keeps you awake at night

8:54 pm

uusue2

the other a babblet that looks like it would make more sense spelled backwards (and has a plural)

8:54 pm

Scrabbler

TY, Sue, now I will sleep well. 126/95 and NBT. See you all tomorrow!

8:54 pm

what, feeding their kids milk laced with melamine wasn't bad enough?

9:04 pm

crosshair

crossy remember the thalidomide kids...

9:06 pm

uusue2

speaking as a human who has produced human breast milk, I really don't see why the vast majority of women don't breastfeed their kids - it is SO EASY!!! and I was working, too...

9:11 pm

uusue2

and I am giving up on this puzzle - too tired to finish. see you all tomorrow!!

9:11 pm

dianedecoder

so do I Crossy.... and I had my first two right around that time... but I had no fears because I took NOTHING .

9:13 pm

dianedecoder

I have a granddaughter struggling a little with breastfeeding ( baby is 3 weeks old ) but she is determined and problems seem to be behind her :-))

9:16 pm

crosshair

sue,my wife could only breast feed for the first 3 weeks.was agony for her.her nipples cracked and split to the point blood was running down her cheast

9:17 pm

crosshair

we did the milk pumps and everything but to no avail

9:18 pm

crosshair

feel fortunate that you could breast feed

9:19 pm

crosshair

we used to go to the hospital for the use of their special centerfugal pump..but in the end,once we got 3 weeks in,it had to end

9:22 pm

crosshair

then it was the ultra expensive similac and enfelac at 22 dollars a can for 12 feedings

9:23 pm

uusue2

Hi crossy, I know some women have real problems with it, and that is very tough. But most women don't, and could breastfeed, but don't want to for one reason or another. I would be happy to see as many women breastfeed as possible as I think it is best for the baby, and as long as there are no problems is much easier than bottles

9:23 pm

dianedecoder

I think a can of formula is about $30 now... not sure which size though

9:24 pm

crosshair

it is definatly best for baby to feed as nature intended

9:25 pm

dianedecoder

Breastfeeding, like many other things in life has its popularity, then it fades out... then back in again. I was fortunate and nursed 4 babies.... ages 50, 48, 46 and 39.... I think they got the best start I was able to give them. ( and me :-) )

9:25 pm

crosshair

my wife used to feed in public,and it is amazing how often i had to defend her right to feed our child..

9:26 pm

uusue2

I would like to see our society be more supportive of it as well - there was a woman who was asked to leave a local business a few weeks ago because she was breastfeeding

9:26 pm

dianedecoder

that is another whole issue... I think the response is more relaxed these days.

9:26 pm

uusue2

I was never shy about it, took my baby to physics meetings and everything - I was always discreet and never had an issue

9:26 pm

crosshair

it is indeed diane

9:27 pm

uusue2

well, not here, apparently, as this was only a couple of months ago!!

9:27 pm

dianedecoder

another topic.... Crossy, do you ever run across old and discontinued children's books ?

9:29 pm

dianedecoder

There is a book called "Jane's Blanket"... written by Arthur Miller ( yes,,.... the playwright ) and I'd love to get my hands on a copy.

9:30 pm

dianedecoder

oooohhhhh... I just found it online !!!

9:31 pm

MollyL

Just back from fireworks. What fun! I think there is a difference between discreet breast feeding and exposed breast - breast feeding. The latter is what makes people uncomfortable.

9:31 pm

dianedecoder

and ooohhhh .. yah right... copies selling for up to $ 145.00 :-(((

9:32 pm

MollyL

I nursed three kids very discreetly and far from the maddening crowd when it needed to be done away from home.

9:33 pm

dianedecoder

discreet is the key word... and it's easily done.

9:38 pm

MollyL

Every story I have heard about public breast feeding being "opposed to" involved a woman who just whipped out a bare breast and nursed. I totally understand why that would make some people uncomfortable.

9:39 pm

crosshair

i will look for it dianne

9:39 pm

crosshair

i totally con done public breast feeding in public

9:39 pm

crosshair

condone

9:40 pm

uusue2

my mother-in-law was upset once when I nursed my son in a restaurant - I had dresses and shirts with flaps so you really couldn't see anything (according to my father, who is pretty prudish). She simply didn't like the idea. But it was a long dinner and I certainly wasn't going to let him go hungry.

9:41 pm

dianedecoder

Amazon has 2 copies... another site has 5 BUT they are all over $ 100.00 !!!

9:43 pm

dianedecoder

It is one book in a series called Modern Master Books for Children... by famous authors who did not normally write children's books.

9:44 pm

uusue2

sounds really interesting, diane - I had never heard of it!

9:44 pm

Minveryork

We usually do not condone spilling words in the chog, but since it is not in the grid it's okay crosshair.LOL!

9:45 pm

MollyL

Sue, those are the situations that I just don't understand. If someone is discreetly breast feeding, what is to be upset about? No one can see anything.

9:45 pm

uusue2

I agree, molly.

9:46 pm

uusue2

but now I am even more tired and am going to bed, see you all tomorrow!!

9:47 pm

Minveryork

Goodbye uusue2! I will see you tomorrow in the chog.

9:48 pm

night night sue sleep well

10:32 pm

jmcnrick

no sleep tonight between fireworks for 4th of july and the train that runs through the middle of campus

10:32 pm

herinfernallady

Please explain

10:33 pm

jmcnrick

4th of july is independence day in US and everybody shoots off firecrakers until 1 or 2 am

10:33 pm

herinfernallady

That I understand but the Train?

10:34 pm

jmcnrick

the university campus where i am staying has a railroad track RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE about 50 yards from my window and the train comes through about 3 time a night

10:34 pm

herinfernallady

Yuk :(

10:34 pm

jmcnrick

slowly and blowing it;s whistle because there is nothing to keep the college kids from running across the track

10:35 pm

jmcnrick

i don't know it was a weird place to build a train track or a weird place to build a college

10:35 pm

herinfernallady

Why the >>>> is there a train in the middle of the campus

10:35 pm

jmcnrick

no effing clue

10:35 pm

herinfernallady

How long you there?

10:36 pm

jmcnrick

just this week

10:36 pm

herinfernallady

Can you stay some were else?

10:38 pm

jmcnrick

no** this is where the conference is and I already paid for the room--and the dorms all run along the railroad track

10:38 pm

herinfernallady

sod

10:38 pm

herinfernallady

That sounds bloody stupid if you don't mind me saying so

10:38 pm

jmcnrick

indeed

10:39 pm

jmcnrick

i am with you on that i wonder how many drunk college students get killed each year?

10:40 pm

herinfernallady

mmm

10:43 pm

Jacula

Hi all. The uni with the train track sounds very badly thought out, unless someone's TRYING to get rid of young people. No steep bank? No high fence? NOTHING to keep them safe?

10:43 pm

jmcnrick

hi jac

10:43 pm

herinfernallady

HI Jac

10:44 pm

Jacula

Hi jmc.

10:44 pm

jmcnrick

no it is iowa and everything is completely flat

10:44 pm

Jacula

Hi Herin.

10:44 pm

herinfernallady

My friend lives in Iowa

10:44 pm

Jacula

jmc - that's mad and must be against any safety regulation I can think of.

10:44 pm

jmcnrick

i really feel sorry for the parents camping on the campus because they have them only a few feet from the track

10:44 pm

jmcnrick

you'd think

10:44 pm

herinfernallady

JM you at the U of I?

10:45 pm

jmcnrick

no i am at grinnell

10:45 pm

jmcnrick

a small liberal arts college

10:45 pm

Jacula

Even so (no pun intended) jmc - mounds and fences CAN be built.

10:45 pm

herinfernallady

Ok

10:46 pm

jmcnrick

what can i say jac? i agree completely

10:46 pm

Jacula

Crazy! jmc. I should put your 2 penno'rth in the suggestion box, if they have one.

10:47 pm

jmcnrick

haha i will do that!

10:48 pm

herinfernallady

You do get used to the train noise though

10:48 pm

jmcnrick

i am sure about that i used to live next door to a fire station

10:48 pm

Jacula

jmc, as a lawyer, you can surely have A Seious Talk with the people that run the place? Or rather, those that finance it.

10:49 pm

Jacula

Yes, you do get used to train noise. I grew up right by a railway line.

10:50 pm

Jacula

Students get drunk. Students get depression. That railway line s a NO NO as it is.

10:50 pm

herinfernallady

I just looked up my old place. It is a pity the estate agents can't be charged with false advertising.

10:50 pm

jmcnrick

we represent most of the english speaking world geographically-- i think that is cool

10:51 pm

jmcnrick

all wee need really is a canadian

10:51 pm

Jacula

LOL. I'll send my cousin Simon or his wife, shall I, jmc.

10:52 pm

jmcnrick

:-) that is one of the things i like about babbling--think of how far apart we three are

10:53 pm

Jacula

Simon's a bit tired now after builing straw houses and making maple syrup. Marlene (his wife) is a surgeon, so she's almost always tired.

10:53 pm

herinfernallady

I need to do my house work soon :(

10:53 pm

Jacula

jmc - re Babble - me, too.

10:53 pm

jmcnrick

straw houses?

10:53 pm

jmcnrick

poor herin

10:53 pm

Jacula

Yes, you can make eco homes with straw bales in the walls.

10:54 pm

LuwandaHL

hi everyone!!

10:54 pm

herinfernallady

Hi Luw

10:54 pm

Jacula

Hi Luw.

10:54 pm

Jacula

Herin is that 'need to' or 'have to'?

10:54 pm

herinfernallady

Are they mud straw Jac?

10:54 pm

jmcnrick

hi luw

10:54 pm

jmcnrick

oh i have heard of that--i guess i was thinking of the three little pids

10:54 pm

jmcnrick

*pigs

10:55 pm

jmcnrick

any clue for the ce6?

10:55 pm

herinfernallady

Need Jac. The house is a mess

10:55 pm

Jacula

R. Dean Taylor - Indiana Wants Me, I thought of that when I clicked on you Luw. Loved that song!

10:56 pm

LuwandaHL

i always have housework to do.

10:56 pm

LuwandaHL

no I can't go back there!

10:56 pm

Jacula

jmc - ce6 is an anagram of a cos word for 'to pamper'.

10:56 pm

Jacula

LOL Luw.

10:57 pm

herinfernallady

I don't have much to do but it has to get done.

10:57 pm

Jacula

I always have housework and gardening to do, and the washing is never-ending. Why can't my family stop making a mess and stop wearing clothes?

10:58 pm

herinfernallady

I got a WOW out of himself last night when he came home.

10:58 pm

jmcnrick

from you gorgeousness?

10:58 pm

Jacula

Blimey, Herin. What did you do?

10:59 pm

herinfernallady

He asked me what I did today. I told him go to the kitchen. THe kitchen table was all cleaned off. It was a tad of a disaster as we had furniture delivered

10:59 pm

jmcnrick

wtg herin

11:00 pm

herinfernallady

.

11:01 pm

herinfernallady

When his nan passed we inherited a buffet hutch thingy and we had to remove the shelves that were housing my cook books and such. They went on the table. The table vanished from site for about a month

11:01 pm

Jacula

Not sure what to say to that.

11:02 pm

Jacula

What the hell is a buffet hutch? Is it like a dresser?

11:02 pm

jmcnrick

its like a high boy

11:03 pm

jmcnrick

or a china cabinet

11:03 pm

LuwandaHL

is it like a sideboard?

11:03 pm

herinfernallady

Ok the bottom half is 2 shelves then cabinets. The top is a china hutch. It is actually hand made two pieces.

11:04 pm

Jacula

Our kitchen table can never vanish from sight because it's always in use one way or another. Our dining table, the one in another room, is a different matter altogether. it mostly has my sewing stuff on it, if Step hasn't moved all of that onto the floor in order to spread out her GCSE revision notes.

11:04 pm

Jacula

It's a dresser, LOL!

11:05 pm

herinfernallady

I just put up a pic in my profile

11:06 pm

jmcnrick

very nice!

11:06 pm

Jacula

A sideboard is a low item of furniture with drawers and cupboards beneath its polished top surface.

11:06 pm

LuwandaHL

formal dining room - place to put stuff that may accumulate somewhere else

11:06 pm

jmcnrick

that is also called a buffet and a low boy jac

11:07 pm

LuwandaHL

i like it

11:07 pm

herinfernallady

It was hand made and is able to be a hutch or side board. It is cleverly held together with 2 boards down the side

11:07 pm

jmcnrick

the thing in herins profile is a buffet hutch, a high boy or a china cabinet

11:07 pm

Jacula

Herin - looked at your pic - yes, that is what we in UK call a Dresser, or Welsh Dresser. The original ones had a space in the middle at the bottom to keep hens in.

11:07 pm

herinfernallady

You can have it both ways. I have a 1960's hutch as a tv stand

11:07 pm

jmcnrick

it is a terrific piece of furniture

11:08 pm

jmcnrick

interesting jac, i have never heard that term used that way

11:09 pm

jmcnrick

okay i am going to try to go to sleep before the next train

11:09 pm

Jacula

jmc - isn't it great how we can add definitions to dictionaries here?

11:09 pm

herinfernallady

It was made in the 70's for b.fs parent's first house and then when they moved they gave it to her mum. She passed away and we inherited it. We got under 48hours to get it

11:09 pm

jmcnrick

bye all (85 left)

11:10 pm

Jacula

jmc - glad to hear you're safe away from the track, but please do say something to The Powers That Be about it.

11:10 pm

LuwandaHL

my sideboard is antique. it has drawers below and a cabinet below them.

11:11 pm

11:13 pm

Jac is Tiger kitty still being gross?

11:14 pm

LuwandaHL

i just adopted my nieces cat. her new roommate is allergic to cats. he's not the brightest cat

11:15 pm

Jacula

Herin, I'm feeling kinda cross with you Aussies at the moment. Even before she visited Oz, I knew my daughter would fit in there. She intends to go back now ( she's in Canada with her brother, and my bro and sister-in-law) at the moment. She's intending to do her Masters degree at Queensland Uni. I've missed her so much and will miss her a lot more in the future, I guess.

11:15 pm

herinfernallady

Awww Luw. I would have got a new room mate

11:16 pm

herinfernallady

Sorry Jac. I don't like in Queensland so I can't kidnap her for you

11:17 pm

LuwandaHL

me too. she want me to keep him for a year. i had to get hubby to agree. he likes pets after we get them.

Herin - no, Tigsey has just slept a lot in the past couple of days and amused us last night by twitching his paws and moving his jaw like he was talking when he was asleep on the sofa last night. he's out at the moment though.

live not like

11:17 pm

LuwandaHL

:( jac. i am so fortunate my kids live near me.

11:18 pm

herinfernallady

Luw you can't do that to a pet. (Sorry the defensive fur mum in me. I keep my pets close)

11:18 pm

LuwandaHL

i have my two grandsons tonight. they are going to help me babysit for the 14-month-old tomorrow

11:18 pm

LuwandaHL

me too herin

11:19 pm

herinfernallady

But see I prefer pets to people.

11:19 pm

Jacula

Herin - if I ever win the Lottery, can I pay you enought to kidnap her??

11:19 pm

LuwandaHL

he knows me tho because aunt lu babysits for him when she travels

11:19 pm

herinfernallady

No Jac because she is big enough to look after herself

11:21 pm

Jacula

However, kidnap isn't really the answer. Right now, I kind of feel like I want to go to Oz, too. But, in my heart, I know it's probably not for me. I'm an English Ro4 at heart. I'd miss the greenery and everything else too much.

11:22 pm

herinfernallady

I have to get special people to mind the fur brats. I can't have the fur kids in catteries as none of the places have individual hotel rooms that can't see other cats.

11:23 pm

Jacula

Actually, Herin, she is tiny. Just like I was at her age.

11:23 pm

LuwandaHL

i used a kennel for our dog once and never did again. she was so stressed when we picked her up.

11:25 pm

herinfernallady

Lu the thing is here the places believe that the cat's should see out and around them. My cat hates other cats and I can't find a secure hotel room style were they can't see other cats. I ask and I always get the tone on the phone like I am a crazy lady.

11:25 pm

herinfernallady

Jac your kidlet will be fine

11:26 pm

Jacula

Luw - that reminds me of Trixie, my best friend's family's Golden Labrador. She got put in kennels when we all went on holiday to Torquay (Devon, UK) for two weeks. First thing we did on getting back was to pick her up - she was almost bal from fretting and lost even more hair in the taxi on the way home.

11:26 pm

Jacula

Herin - I know SHE will be, but will I?

11:26 pm

herinfernallady

You will be fine

11:27 pm

Jacula

You reckon?

11:27 pm

herinfernallady

Yep

11:27 pm

LuwandaHL

I always have my kids watch mine. My daughter comes by and plays with murphy. he is still needy when we get home. he has to be in the same room with me but won't sit on my lap to show he doesn't need me.

11:28 pm

Jacula

I think not, but it won't effect her.

11:29 pm

herinfernallady

I love my friends dearly but I am now only able to have one set mind the kids as one of the friends didn't clean the cat box for 2 weeks. He cleaned the poop but not the wet. That jacked me off as it is flushable cat litter

11:29 pm

LuwandaHL

jac, you will be ok but not the same without her. phone call help.

11:30 pm

Jacula

Inidentally, one of the first things my daughter reported from Oz was that it was odd that she'd seen no cats around. I told her that many places in Oz have strict rules about cats.

11:30 pm

Jacula

Luw - I really must get to grips with SKYPE

11:31 pm

herinfernallady

Jac is she in Queensland?

11:31 pm

herinfernallady

SOrry was she in Queensland when she mad the cat comment?

11:32 pm

LuwandaHL

explain the cat rules?

11:32 pm

Jacula

Herin - she will be, but she's in Canada right now, due to get to Calgary in a couple of hours after being in Vancouver and then visiting the ice fields in Banff.

11:32 pm

herinfernallady

Because of the wild life some places have a no cat's outside rule. Most have a in side after dark rule.

11:33 pm

herinfernallady

Ok the cats are allowed outside in runs and that sort of thing but free roaming is bad.

11:33 pm

Jacula

And in some states, cats have to have an outside cage to roam in, rather than roaming at will.

11:33 pm

LuwandaHL

THat's what I thought

11:34 pm

herinfernallady

What irritates me the most is the idiot neighbours around here that let their cats roam so that at 3am I have my cat having a complete mental at a cat being out the front or then that cat wizzing on something

11:35 pm

LuwandaHL

We have a problem with coyotes. They were reintroduce in the 80's to curb the deer problem. no natural enemies so now they are a real problem. They are the #1 cause of loss of small pets

11:35 pm

herinfernallady

on my friends farm they have issues with ferral dogs and cats and rabbits at the moment

11:36 pm

herinfernallady

If the coyotes are native to the area then you live in that area then you should work around them. Not you personally but you as a general

11:37 pm

Jacula

She (my daughter) is going to be 10 days later than first planned before I can hug her again. When she gets back from Canada to Heathrow, she's straight off the Romania for a tour of the carpathian mountains, that she couldn't do last time she was ther in winter. My Romanian sister-in-law, who now lives in Canada, says she can't see what that would add to the ap year trip - but, since being born there as a Roma gypsy child and then adopted out, she may ssee things differently.

11:39 pm

herinfernallady

Sounds like a great trip Jac

11:40 pm

Jacula

Wild boar have recently been re-introduced to UK, as have beavers. I'm still not sure either should have been, but still more worried about the thoughts that wolves should be re-introduced.

11:41 pm

Jacula

The UK once had bears, wolves, lioms. woolly mammoths ( a form of elephant), bison and more. However, all are long gone.

11:42 pm

LuwandaHL

I don't think they were native to indiana but wolves and bear were. the deer population was almost decimated until the 1930's and they became protected. Then the populations grew so much that they became pests and overpopulated because they had no enemies. the coyotes were introduced as a possible answer. now they are becoming a big problem

11:42 pm

LuwandaHL

there are fewer possoms on the roads

11:43 pm

Jacula

Luw - the probblem really is that man is no longer true to his hunting nature.

11:44 pm

LuwandaHL

not true to nature at all

11:45 pm

herinfernallady

When the grid flips I am going to go and get everything sorted

11:52 pm

herinfernallady

Anyone need a clue

11:58 pm

Jacula

*Kidnaps Herin just before the flip and enslaves her so she will clear out the loft, dust and polish the house, dig the garden etc., etc.

11:58 pm

herinfernallady

NOoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

11:58 pm

herinfernallady

:D

11:58 pm

Jacula

She seemed to be in a positive, I'll sort the house out' sort of mind. LOL

11:59 pm

LuwandaHL

11:59 pm

Jacula

*wraps Herin in a blanket to muffle her cries for help*

11:59 pm
