VolleymomDee

interesting didn't know that jili

12:19 am

VolleymomDee

wtg nan

12:19 am

jillibus

the reason is that there is a picture of a loon on the one dollar coin

12:20 am

VolleymomDee

is that the country's official bird?

12:20 am

cybernan

I still think henge is a word --- you see them all over northern Europe

12:20 am

cybernan

no -- our bird is the American Goose

12:21 am

cybernan

;)

12:21 am

VolleymomDee

I wonder why the loon is on the money then... interesting

12:21 am

jillibus

cybernan

not that I know, jill

12:22 am

cybernan

12:22 am

rastapopolous

you'd think the Canada goose - I'm not sure I've ever seen an American goose. I'll have to go google it.

12:22 am

VolleymomDee

interesting

12:22 am

jillibus

We have various animals on our coins, dee -- on the reverse. The Queen is on the "front".

12:23 am

cybernan

sure you have -- it's grey with a black neck and head and it is to be found all over the US golf courses

12:23 am

VolleymomDee

it has been a very very long time since I have seen Canadian money. Interesting... I didn't know we had a goose...also thought it was Canadian.

12:24 am

jillibus

There was a story that there was another design for the dollar, but the first lot fell off a truck so the loon won out.

12:24 am

cybernan

nope -- we have divorced it and given it to the Americans

12:24 am

VolleymomDee

be 6/30 fun word

12:24 am

VolleymomDee

lol

12:25 am

jillibus

nan is pulling your legs -- it's the infamous Canada Goose all over golf courses.

12:25 am

rastapopolous

12:39 am

cosdem

stats for the O in 3rd and 4th col?

12:39 am

jillibus

I'm so disappointed about tomorrow. An old friend (one of my bridesmaids) phoned from Montreal the day before yesterday to say she would be in Victoria on Friday and wanted to meet for lunch. I had a haircut appt at 2 pm Friday but changed ti to today so I could go. She was supposed to phone today at about 5 pm or leave a message with her phone number if I was out. No phone call -- no message, and it's 10:38 pm now. So I guess lunch is out, and it was the only possible day. I haven't seen her in 11 years. :-(

12:40 am

cosdem

maybe she will call you in the morning?

12:40 am

VolleymomDee

maybe she is just assuming you will be going and will call tomorrow

12:40 am

dizgrannie

my 6's are be, oo and to x2 anyone have the other 2

12:40 am

flosey

ah jilli, hope she calls early enough for you to meet her

cosdem

nbt/nbs

12:42 am

jillibus

But I don't know where we're supposed to meet and she talked about 11:30 am -- hard to make it with our ferries. I'm NOT an early riser!

12:42 am

VolleymomDee

12:42 am

flosey

jillibus

flosey, I did suggest that before. I hope she doesn't call at 6 am (9 am Montreal time!)

12:46 am

jillibus

Oh Lickety, thank you!

12:46 am

flosey

ugh!

12:46 am

gapeach

Thanks lickety

12:47 am

jillibus

I mean, even though she'll be in Victoria, she'll be jet-lagged...

12:47 am

flosey

so she's flying here tomorrow morning?

12:47 am

flosey

that would be a bit of a push

12:48 am

jillibus

No, flosey, she was supposed to be here this afternoon and phone me at 5 pm from the hotel in Victoria, but she never did.

12:49 am

jillibus

And there are othr people involved -- I was supposed to meet them in Victoria somewhere -- she didn't know where or what hotel she would be in. It's all about a wedding.

12:49 am

flosey

ah, well, do hope you'll be able to meet with her, or at least have a nice phone chat, after such a long time

12:50 am

jillibus

I was really looking forward to seeing her :-(

1:00 am

flosey

wtg jilli

1:02 am

flosey

is be6 a normal word?

1:02 am

jillibus

The meaning of that Y word -- from the Urban Dictionary: White kids who act like they are black gangster rappers. Less offense form of wigger. Comes from the common greeting often used 'Y* ***'. (No def otherwise)

1:03 am

flosey

thanks jilli, wondered what it was

1:09 am

Bugsaw

it is kind of a compound word flosey

1:09 am

Bugsaw

(if there is only one)

1:09 am

flosey

1:11 am

jillibus

There is only one Y word -- bugs, Lickety is up, in case you missed that

1:11 am

flosey

must get to bed, very tired from busy day in Victoria

1:11 am

Bugsaw

Hi Jilli. I hope you connect with your friend. I would just plan to get up early enough to get to Victoria by 11:30 because she will probably phone tomorrow.

1:11 am

flosey

29 words to get tomorrow

1:11 am

jillibus

what were you doing there, flsoey? You go there a lot, it seems

1:12 am

Bugsaw

I know LIckety is up but I try not to open it until I am half way

1:12 am

flosey

unsuccessful clothes shopping, had a coffee delivery to make, bit of other shopping, picked up 2 boxes of blueberries from the farm, will freeze them tomorrow

1:13 am

Bugsaw

PS my icon is a clue if anyone wants it

1:14 am

Bugsaw

I must be off to bed too. Nite all

1:14 am

jillibus

oh, ok -- and if my friend phones tomorrow I'm sure it will be early enough -- she knows the ferry only runs every 2 hours and it takes me at least a half hour to get there -- usually more so as not to miss it because of being in line.

1:15 am

rururocks

2:35 am

westford

haha a lot of us were in the same boat

2:36 am

rubyfoo

Austin is wonderful, except for the weather! But I'm sure it's greatly changed since you were there

2:37 am

rubyfoo

great restaurants -- even a fine sushi bar

2:37 am

westford

but I have to admit it was one of the friendliest places we've ever lived

2:37 am

rubyfoo

2:37 am

westford

2:39 am

2:43 am

rubyfoo

she started Monday and is wonderful! And she found my wedding ring, which had been missing since January, when she was "deep cleaning" the washing machine

2:44 am

westford

that is great !!

2:44 am

westford

I need her to come here..we have a black hole things disappear into

2:44 am

rubyfoo

I am so happy about the ring

2:45 am

westford

I would be too

2:45 am

westford

was DH happy as well?

2:46 am

rubyfoo

I never really liked the ring much as it looks like what a mafia don would wear on his pinky, but still....

2:46 am

rubyfoo

I hadn't told him for months when it disappeared but when I did tell, he wasn't even angry

2:47 am

rubyfoo

I don't understand men!

2:47 am

westford

maybe he had plans to replace it

2:47 am

rubyfoo

phantom: apogee

2:47 am

westford

hah welcome to the club

2:47 am

rubyfoo

I hope not

2:48 am

westford

do you think you left it in a pocket?

2:49 am

westford

first rule of laundry..always check the pockets

2:49 am

rubyfoo

I left it in a pocket and then washed the pants I guess. I was afraid that former cleaning lady had thrown it away. We went through the trash, the vacuum, looked everywhere for it, except the one spot "Luisa" pried open

2:50 am

rubyfoo

husband was in hospital at the time and I was in a state!

2:50 am

westford

that's right bet you're glad all that is behind you now

2:51 am

rubyfoo

but now the fridge is dying....always something in a house!

2:51 am

westford

oh too bad..just a replaceable part I hope

2:53 am

westford

maybe Luisa can fix it..she sounds like a gem ( no pun intended)

2:53 am

rubyfoo

hahah

2:54 am

rubyfoo

she actually sings while she works and says she is "ravie" to work here. I am so lucky

2:54 am

westford

you really hit the jackpot

2:55 am

rubyfoo

and she's young enough that she'll stay a while, hopefully, AND she lives in the same village

2:55 am

westford

fantastic..how did you find her?

2:57 am

rubyfoo

I have a wonderful neighbor who, although a terrible gossip, is very helpful and branchee! She found the other one, too, and has helped me a lot. I was so grateful this time, that I gave her 4 textile designs I had done in the 70's, colored ink renderings of patchwork designs, because she teaches a patchwork course

2:58 am

4:30 am

kje

I was just listening to the starland vocal band o youtube

4:31 am

kje

for some reaso afternoon delight popped int my head and I wondered if they did anythig else... I must say after listenig to about 8, the answer is no

4:32 am

dcseain

They had one album, and that was the runaway single. They were from DC, Georgetown specifically, which is why that video is on the C&O Canal at Jefferson St

4:32 am

dcseain

less you find the album, you'd think that song was it.

4:32 am

kje

ah, did not know that

4:32 am

kje

def oe hit wonders

4:32 am

dcseain

totally

4:33 am

4:42 am

dcseain

4:44 am

kje

4:44 am

dcseain

yeah, longest it's been since '93. Need to call Fatima and get it cut. :)

4:45 am

kje

I thought maybe you were having your own 70s flashback ; )

4:46 am

dcseain

i was four and a half before i had a haircut; my hair was very slow to grow in when i was young. In this photo, it's not been cut since October

4:46 am

kje

wow!

4:47 am

kje

can you do the ponytail look yet?

4:47 am

dcseain

oh yes, for some time now, but it's rather curly, so some side bits need bobby-pinned

4:48 am

kje

I thik you could pull off the ponytail hip-old-guy thing... trim up the beard and put on a black turtleeck... totally doable

4:48 am

kje

maybe a beanie too

4:49 am

dcseain

yeah, i'm thinking i'll hold off to wearing it this long til it's gone all white, though

4:49 am

kje

it isn't even 1/2 white yet! that will be awhile

4:49 am

dcseain

beanies actually suit me; i have a couple

4:50 am

kje

I can see that... def a look you could pull off

4:50 am

dcseain

no, it's approaching 1/4, and i expect it'll be mostly white in the next decade.

4:50 am

dcseain

the white in my beard has all appeared in the last 3 years. discovered that looking at pictures

4:51 am

kje

wow, wouldn't have any guessed a 1/4 from those pics... looks really dark still

4:51 am

dcseain

beard was white enough 2 years ago for my classmates to mock me at reunion

4:51 am

kje

you have a good gray though... should be pretty. As a dirty blond, I am not goig to have pretty gray hair

4:52 am

dcseain

my grandfather was a dirty blond. his turned yellow then white.

4:52 am

dcseain

my sister's is lightening like mine, but hers being dirty blond, it's less visible.

4:53 am

kje

my dad did too... but he called it his silver and gold

4:53 am

dcseain

i was kinda hoping for steely gray like dad's family, but i got mom's hair :)

4:53 am

kje

it will look good dc... you will age handsomely... be thankful!

4:55 am

dcseain

thank you, here's hoping :)

4:55 am

kje

I am going to try to catch a few more winks.. hagd!

5:25 am

sprite

good afternoon all

5:33 am

dcseain

hi, sprite :)

5:33 am

sprite

hi dcseain

5:35 am

dcseain

i kindly pointed out to a friend that i got my first bifocals at 12 after she complained that she needed bifocals now at 40. One of her sisters told her to suck it up cause she's worn them since 28. Kindly lot, eh?

5:35 am

sprite

I guess it is different for all

5:35 am

dcseain

how're you today? I'm weirdly perky for not having slept.

5:35 am

dcseain

oh, yes life's always a bit different for each

5:36 am

sprite

I slept well and am fine, thanks

5:36 am

dcseain

read anything interesting lately?

5:36 am

sprite

am rereading Jane Eyre atm

5:36 am

dcseain

oh, lovely read that.

5:37 am

dcseain

is that a cookie in your icon?

5:37 am

sprite

yes, speculaas

5:37 am

dcseain

interesting looking. chocolat and ?

5:38 am

sprite

no chocolate. Spiced dutch cook.

5:38 am

dcseain

yum.

5:45 am

chic

Mmm Dutch cookie time, my dad use to make those and ole Bol en(sp),

5:46 am

sprite

Bollen :)
Hi chic, some dutch recipes are really good, aren't they

5:46 am

sprite

oliebollen, is the spelling

5:47 am

dcseain

oil balls? Is it a fried dough then?

5:47 am

chic

That was a long time ago and delicious

5:48 am

sprite

yes they are fried

5:48 am

sprite

tasty memories, chic :)

5:48 am

chic

Yes dc with apples

5:49 am

sprite

with apples they are called appelflappen.
Oliebollen are plain or with raisins.

5:49 am

sprite

traditional New Year's Eve treats

5:50 am

chic

My dad was a baker one time ago at the Waldorf Astoria hotel

5:51 am

sprite

oh wow, he must have been really good then

5:51 am

MollyL

You had me fooled Sprite. I thought your icon was some sort of chocolate cookie with peanut butter chips in it. I've always imagined oliebollen as looking like fried dough balls.

5:51 am

chic

Wed go meet him there sometimes that was fun

5:52 am

sprite

lol, error all over. My icon are piano keys.
Yesterday's icon was one of my favorite treats, Speculaas koek, a Dutch spiced cook without any chocolate or peanut butter, but with dutch spices.
And from the dutch treats the convo went on to oliebollen and appelflappen, other dutch specialty treats.

5:53 am

chic

At least my long turn memory is somewhat in tact; short term is shot

5:53 am

MollyL

*Goes for more coffee*

5:53 am

sprite

but those are good memories, chic, worth a thousands short term ones.

5:53 am

sprite

*entreats molly to bring her some too*

5:54 am

chic

I'd say so sprite

5:58 am

MollyL

*Places steaming cup of fresh ground in front of Sprite*

5:58 am

chic

Later peeps

5:58 am

sprite

oh Molly you are a life saver :) Thanks.

5:58 am

sprite

later chic, have a good one

5:59 am

chic

Thanks for the visit down memory lane

5:59 am

sprite

6:00 am

happy Friday and good morning

7:33 am

the very first thing you have to know about an interview with an Italian (even in the states) is that it doesn't hurt to have a "raccomandazione" - a personal contact to make the introduction, which fortunately I have

Uneaixoise

Mom

((Une)) good morning

7:36 am

lynxxx

7:36 am

Uneaixoise

say, mom, how nice was it to walk outside this morning and not get hit by tropical heat and humidity!? WOW!

7:36 am

Mom

pretty bad, eh? Up here we are in the mid-60's

7:37 am

Uneaixoise

no, GOOD! NO heat and humidity --at least for now!

7:37 am

Riverdance

here to - what a nice morning - no humidity

7:37 am

Mom

Lynxxx, I bet it does. I am crocheting a shaw for my daughter-in-law and it is 53% wool and it is quite warm to work on it

7:37 am

Uneaixoise

ok, gotta get dressed and go pick up donated food -- BBL! *poof*

7:37 am

Mom

Not for a while, Une. Storms over the weekend and then warmer next week

7:38 am

Riverdance

are you having a very cold winter lynxxx?

7:39 am

lynxxx

It used to be that it was quite hard to get pure wool in the States - is that still the case Mom?

7:40 am

Mom

it is still available at some of the finer knit shops but it will cost a pretty penny

7:40 am

uusue2

morning, all!

7:40 am

JBV

I love wool - and hand made hats, scarves, mittens - what a treat - whoever you are knitting for is very lucky

7:40 am

lynxxx

Much cooler (and thankfully wetter) than last year...though we have had record warm days this month. Scary - hope we don't get your Summer temps

7:40 am

lynxxx

Hi Sue

7:42 am

uusue2

been very warm this summer by us also, with weird rain patterns (very dry punctuated by torrents)

7:44 am

lynxxx

Mom- you may care to look at our Bendigo Woollen Mills - I believe they ship Internationally - not sure what freight works out to be. Prices are excellent - I buy all my wools from here unless I want something special

7:45 am

Mom

oh I will do that Lynxxx, thank you and I will share with my knitting and crocheting friends. If freight isn't too bad we could combine our orders.

7:46 am

Riverdance

7:46 am

Mom

the knitting and crocheting group at the library, not you and me

7:46 am

Riverdance

7:47 am

uusue2

I think it's a type of salami rather than a brand but it may be US-specific

7:47 am

Mom

thanks River

7:47 am

lynxxx

it must be - I have heard of ge*** cake but not salami

7:47 am

uusue2

however according to the dictionary it is a type of sail

7:48 am

Mom

oh dear a salami cake. :-)

7:48 am

JBV

10:09 am

carleekat

hi again ruby

10:09 am

rubyfoo

66 words this morning and dinner is cooking -- roast/stuffed chicken, sweet potatoes and creamed spinach. How bad is that?

10:09 am

rubyfoo

10:09 am

MollyL

Ruby! The bird you abandoned in your yard is in the grid. : D

10:09 am

rubyfoo

and I make my Thanksgiving stuffing for ordinary chickens -- why not?

10:10 am

rubyfoo

looking for it, molly.....

10:10 am

carleekat

i do too ruby

10:11 am

crosshair

i do the same ruby.will often stuff a reg chicken with a nice sausage stuffing made with cornbread

10:11 am

rubyfoo

bird????

10:11 am

rubyfoo

why wait 'til holidays?

10:11 am

carleekat

i did a full turkey dinner last night ruby...

10:11 am

rubyfoo

(can't find molly's bird)

10:11 am

carleekat

stuffing cranberries gravy veggies...

10:12 am

MollyL

Ruby, the one you put out in the yard instead of in the fridge.

10:12 am

rubyfoo

it is vbery hard to find decent-sized turkeys here. The French only eat them at Christmas and then it's considered "premium" and is tres expensive

10:12 am

uusue2

hi, ruby! Your dinner sounds delicious :-)

10:12 am

rubyfoo

so I make capons for us

10:13 am

crosshair

if i do a off season whole turkey,i will amke several freezer meals and turkey pot pies and freeze up some turkey stew as well

10:13 am

rubyfoo

there's plenty, c'mon over!

10:13 am

MollyL

Yes that's it Ruby. Goodies in the PB.

10:13 am

carleekat

the turkey farmers just had a kill and there will be one more before thanksgiving.... they packaged and froze their turkeys...but the utilities that just take up storage were on sale 2 weeks ago....no one wants utility birds at thanksgiving

10:13 am

crosshair

its ok ruby,crossy has french toast and crepes in the pb

10:14 am

uusue2

hmmm, I have a bird in my list but it's the Hawaiian goose - ah, just saw molly's clue to ruby's post, thx to all! :-)

10:14 am

rubyfoo

in order to get an 18 lb turkey, we used to go to Geneva and pay about $125. For the kind of turkey they give away in the US

10:14 am

crosshair

lol,i had rubys bird but was missing the goose ty:)

10:14 am

carleekat

raise ur own :p

10:15 am

uusue2

<---- was thinking it is pretty early for Thanksgiving turkeys, but then remembered that Canadian Thanksgiving is in October, but it still seems early

10:15 am

rubyfoo

(do I feel stupid, or what?)

10:15 am

crosshair

mm nothing like seeing to your own killing and doing it up yerself

10:15 am

Glantarell

good afternoon everybody

10:15 am

rubyfoo

hello glanta; I haven't seen you for a long time

10:15 am

uusue2

hi, glant!

10:15 am

carleekat

they had 1 kill....there will be one more...but the next kill will be for mostly fresh not frozen birds

10:16 am

Glantarell

I have been away for a couple of weeks, my father died :-(

10:16 am

carleekat

am sooo sorry glan...

10:16 am

Glantarell

10:16 am

rubyfoo

oh, so sorry, glanta

10:16 am

uusue2

oh no, glant!!!! I am so sorry to hear that!!!!!!!

10:16 am

crosshair

10:16 am

rubyfoo

10:16 am

crosshair

i am sorry for your loss glant

10:17 am

uusue2

{{{{{{glantarell}}}}}}

10:17 am

Glantarell

and my 77 year old mum now has plans to take up painting again, and travel - things she has been unable to do for the last 4 years - my father had alzheimers

10:18 am

uusue2

ah, well, good for her, glant!

10:18 am

rubyfoo

I was lucky because my parents arranged everything way in advance.....

10:18 am

crosshair

that is a tough road indeed((((glants mum))))

10:18 am

rubyfoo

10:19 am

rubyfoo

how many words do you have, crossy?

10:19 am

Glantarell

We got otgether nd planned an atypical funeral, then I sorted it out - he arrived to the sound of Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club band and Wityh a little help form my friends, and the service ended with Morecambe and Wise singing ' Bring Me Sunshine'

10:19 am

Glantarell

It has been a VERY tough road indeed for my mum

10:19 am

rubyfoo

that sounds like a great funeral!

10:20 am

uusue2

oh, glant, that is so cool! I think it is wonderful when a funeral is really a reflection of the person.

10:20 am

Glantarell

It sounds irreverent, but so was he - in a gentlemanly way

10:20 am

rubyfoo

Alzheimer's is much worse for the spouse than for the sick person

10:20 am

Glantarell

we planned it as a celebration of his life

10:20 am

crosshair

only 34 ruby..i am just getting rolling

10:20 am

rubyfoo

what's wrong with irreverent

10:20 am

Glantarell

when the curtains closed around the coffin we had the end of the 1812 overture - with the bells and cannons blasting out

10:21 am

rubyfoo

I'm sure you'll catch up with me and surpass, crossy

10:21 am

uusue2

yes, in my tradition we call it a celebration of life rather than a funeral

10:21 am

rubyfoo

I love the idea of the 1812 overture, what a send off!

10:21 am

crosshair

i love it glant.i much prefer a celebration of life over weeping and gnashing of teeth well done and a great way to honor your da

10:21 am

Glantarell

you will laugh - we found a fabulous coffin - bright blue, made from recycled newsprint - but it turned out to cost a fortune (Â£660) so I bought a wicker one off EBay!

10:21 am

Glantarell

Â£250

10:22 am

uusue2

I love the idea of a coffin from eBay!!! How cool is that?

10:22 am

crosshair

very nice indeed

10:22 am

rubyfoo

way cool!

10:22 am

Glantarell

If you look up Morecambe and Wise on YouTube, and find Bring Me Sunshine, you will see them doing a little dance as they leave the stage - my daughter and I did the dance as we led the funeral procession out of the ceremony

10:23 am

crosshair

i have made arrangement for me to be cremeated and my ashed spread over algonquin provincial park when my time comes

10:23 am

Glantarell

it made everybody laugh, which was what we wanted - my dad loved laughter

10:23 am

Glantarell

my father's ashes are in a wildlife area on a Welsh hill, where the buzzards and red kites soar overhead

10:24 am

rubyfoo

that is really wonderful, glanta! I'll have my husband cremated, no funeral, and will put his ashes next to his beloved dog in the garden

10:24 am

uusue2

nice, glant

10:24 am

Glantarell

his home of the last 20 years was on top of a Welsh hill, where the buzzards and kites soar, so we thought it fitting

10:24 am

crosshair

sounds perfect

10:24 am

rubyfoo

did you know that the Farsis put their dead ones on top of a hill and the buzzards take care of the bodies?

10:25 am

rubyfoo

I had a Farsi friend from Bombay who told me that

10:25 am

crosshair

our first nation people used to do the same ruby,or a funeral pyre

10:25 am

Glantarell

he laos said he didn't want a stone to hold him down, and he didn't want money wasted on his funeral, so I reckon I got the chjeapest funeral I could manage

10:25 am

uusue2

I think I did know that, ruby, although I had forgotten

10:25 am

uusue2

seems weird to us but it is certainly efficient

10:25 am

rubyfoo

as long as the wife doesn't have to throw herself on top!

10:26 am

Glantarell

althugh the funeral director was somewhat taken aback to find I only wanted hom to collect and store the body, and bring it iot the crematorium

10:26 am

Glantarell

and 2 other funeral directors had refused

10:26 am

rubyfoo

I like the idea of an Irish wake, dancing with the corpse and bringing in professional mourners

10:27 am

rubyfoo

you did what sounds like the creative and absolutely right thing, glanta!!!!!

10:27 am

uusue2

fireworks!

10:27 am

crosshair

he should not have been.he was taken aback cause he had visions of selling you a 8 thousand dollar coffin is all

10:27 am

rubyfoo

yay sue!

10:27 am

Glantarell

we come form Liverpool originally, and elements of the wake are usually in our funerals - people having a good drink and telling tales of the deceased

10:27 am

crosshair

yaa for sue!!

10:27 am

Glantarell

woo hoo usue

10:28 am

rubyfoo

that is like Jews sitting shiva, except that's after the funeral. They eat and drink and talk about the deceased. All good!

10:28 am

crosshair

in my das case when he goes,he goes right from the hospital direct to the crematorium.i can set up my own service in my own time once i get the urn

10:29 am

Glantarell

I put up a slide show of old photos of dad at the funeral tea - around 75 photos of him aged 18-78

10:29 am

uusue2

<--- finds the idea of funeral directors refusing to do what the family wants rather disturbing (as long as it is not illegal)

10:29 am

rubyfoo

you are amazing, glanta!

10:29 am

crosshair

they are just pissed cause they miss out on the big casket cash in

10:29 am

rubyfoo

could I hire you in advance to do mine?

10:30 am

crosshair

sounds like you honored your da well glant

10:30 am

Glantarell

people enjoyed looking at the photos and talking about him - and it reminded my mum of how handsome he had been - he was very thin and drawn for the last few months of his life

10:30 am

Glantarell

ROFL Ruby - just let me know what you want

10:30 am

rubyfoo

I'll give you access to all the photos and the life story (if I have time!)

10:31 am

Glantarell

Thanks stidmama! Today was last day of summer job.

6:46 pm

stidmama

woo-hoo! do you get a break now?

6:47 pm

Minveryork

Sort of. I am going to Vermont for a few days.I come back mid-week next week. Then I'm off to babysit my niece & nephew for a few weeks before school starts

6:48 pm

stidmama

well, a change of pa4 at least! hopefully vermont will be cooler than where you live

6:49 pm

Minveryork

It was weird coming home from work today & not do any lesson plans or school work. I hung out at a pool.

6:50 pm

stidmama

LOL yes, that's why I want to sub this year... no lesson plans!

6:54 pm

Sorry I am multi-tasking. Have just a few more minutes to sit and rest before running stidkid and his friend in for the "call" for tonight's performance. I think Tom is going to meet me here at home, so it's extra driving, but ... I had so much fun at the show last night that I am going again tonight! (and tomorrow, and Sunday)

7:17 pm

Nef

If it's clear, I will

7:21 pm

MollyL

I saw them once. What a beautiful sight.

7:29 pm

Nef

I just hope the mosquitos won't eat us alive tonight!

7:44 pm

Minveryork

I remember Minnesota mosquitoes. They can be huge!

7:46 pm

Nef

yeah; and this year it seems like everyone is getting huge welts from the bites too

7:50 pm

dan2bit

evening all

7:50 pm

Nef

hi dan

7:51 pm

Minveryork

Hello dan2bit!How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

7:51 pm

dan2bit

I am well Min, thanks. And you?

7:52 pm

dan2bit

ha I forgot about these bh5s are made for whalkin...

7:52 pm

Minveryork

I'm well. Had my last day at summer job today. It's so weird to not have to do any school work this evening

7:53 pm

dan2bit

yay congrats

7:53 pm

Nef

enjoy it, Min. You'll have school work soon enough again

7:55 pm

Minveryork

Believe it or not, I don't have that much school work to do during the school year since I'm an ESL teacher

7:55 pm

Minveryork

I did more school work this summer than I have done in the past five years or so. I did 3-4 hours every day

7:55 pm

Nef

sounds like a great job then! :-)

7:56 pm

Nef

(your regular ESL position , that is)

7:58 pm

Minveryork

It is a good job, but very political. Also I am dictated what to do. During summer job I had the freedom to do whatever I wanted(within limits).I did not have to deal with administrators, politics and state testing.

7:59 pm

dan2bit

firewords! tx all cluers - pa5 four syllables was my last

8:00 pm

Minveryork

Congtatulations da2bit on fireworks! Hooray for you!

8:01 pm

Nef

WTG, dan2!!! YAY!!!!

8:02 pm

Nef

I would never have thought ESL would be a political teaching position, Min.

8:03 pm

Bugsaw

Hello everyone. My icon is a clue if you need it

8:04 pm

Minveryork

Hello Bugsaw!How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

8:04 pm

Nef

hi Bugs.

8:05 pm

Minveryork

My job is not political, but the school district is VERY political. The school board is appointed by the mayor.

8:05 pm

Nef

yuk. I think ours are elected positions here

8:05 pm

Bugsaw

Hi Nef and Minveryork

8:06 pm

uusue2

hi, all! I finished earlier but thought I would drop in :-)

8:06 pm

Minveryork

Yes, most school boards are elected but Yonkers isn't

8:06 pm

Nef

hi sue. How's it going?

8:06 pm

Minveryork

Hello uusue2! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

8:06 pm

uusue2

great, nef! We have had a wonderful time at my dad's, will be leaving tomorrow, sadly

8:07 pm

uusue2

my son has decided that he wants to move here :-)

8:07 pm

Nef

glad you had a good visit; too bad it has to be so short

8:07 pm

uusue2

we have complicated lives, unfortunately

8:08 pm

MollyL

Aw, he wants to be a Joisey Boy.

8:08 pm

Nef

is there a chance he might? (Job opportunities, etc?)

8:08 pm

uusue2

when we left home, my son was complaining that we were going to be gone so long; now he is complaining because we have to leave so soon

8:09 pm

uusue2

and he actually really loves New Jersey - who would have thought??? This part of it is quite nice, actually

8:10 pm

uusue2

well, he has three more years of college, nef, and then probably graduate school; by the time he's looking for jobs my dad is not likely to be around, and I think that's a lot of the appeal

8:13 pm

Nef

would he go to college there?

8:13 pm

Nef

(sorry, had to go get meds for Aunty)

8:14 pm

uusue2

no, he gets cheap tuition at the university where I teach, and is living at home, so that's where he will stay.

8:14 pm

uusue2

and no problem, nef, how is Aunty doing? And how are you?

8:16 pm

Bugsaw

uusue, when my son was 15 he wanted to live in the assicted living place my parents were in. They had their own apartment with once a week cleaning and all they had to do to eat was show up in the dining room. He was in heaven

8:16 pm

Nef

I got discharged from home PT today but am not ready for out-patient PT yet. We now have Aunt Jean's 92 year old (bossy) sister here with us for a while too. DIL and I had a disagreement yesterday and went home for a day. But she will probably come back tonight my son says

8:16 pm

vanillaslice

hi everyone, love these small grids without s, ed, and q's (hate q lol)

8:17 pm

uusue2

I'll bet, bugs!

8:17 pm

Nef

hi vanilla. I'm glad it's a small grid; I just might finish it this way!

8:17 pm

uusue2

wow, nef, you have the whole extended family there! hopefully you can get through it without all killing each other (just kidding but it has to be stressful!)

8:18 pm

Bugsaw

You are a saint Nef.

8:18 pm

vanillaslice

Saturday here so I'll be looking for a nice big grid for tonight

8:18 pm

Nef

I had a bit of a melt-down last evening; but am back to "normal" (whatever that is!) now

8:19 pm

vanillaslice

Saint Nef now that has a nice ring to it

8:19 pm

Minveryork

Hello vanillaslice! How are you doing? Welcome to grid

8:19 pm

uusue2

well, it sounds like you deserve a meltdown, nef! (I've had a couple of my own in the past months although being at dad's is helping a lot - helping my son too, I think)

8:19 pm

Nef

not at all, Bugs. Aunt Jean has perked up with her sister here.

8:20 pm

vanillaslice

I'm doing fine but we need to go shopping soon and I'll be glad when that's done

8:20 pm

Nef

is shopping a big deal for you vanilla?

8:21 pm

Nef

sue, your son probably needs the change of scenery about now. I hope he gets along very well with your Dad too

8:21 pm

vanillaslice

Not for me but it is for my wife. I try to tell her to let me go do it on my own but she wants to stay involved and that's good

8:22 pm

Nef

what is the matter with your wife, vanilla?

8:22 pm

uusue2

they are getting along great, nef! they even like the same videos (which my dad has mountains of)

8:22 pm

vanillaslice

diabetic and mobility problems

8:22 pm

Nef

(I wish my DH would do all the shopping by himself; but be able to stick to the list!)

8:23 pm

Nef

Wonderful,sue!

8:23 pm

vanillaslice

Yeah whenever I go on my own the bill gets big!

8:24 pm

Nef

mobility problems aren't easy to deal with. DH has 2 motorized scooters and they have been both a blessing and an hassle through the years

8:26 pm

Nef

(we don't have a car that easily loads the scooters; for the past several years we've had to dismantle and lift the dang things in piece by heavy piece

8:26 pm

vanillaslice

Bee has a scooter but refuses to use it, same as wheelchair unless we're somewhere where nobody knows her

8:28 pm

Nef

I had to remind DH that a cane, scooter, wheel chair etc. are ASSISTIVE devices; just as glasses and hearing aids are. He finally "got it" after falling and some people thought he was drunk (he has MS)

8:29 pm

vanillaslice

we do value our independence

8:29 pm

Minveryork

I am done! I have fireworks! bo5/20 was my last word

8:29 pm

uusue2

yay, min!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!

8:29 pm

vanillaslice

congrats Min

8:29 pm

Nef

YAY, Min!!!! WTG!!!!!!

8:29 pm

Minveryork

I will be here off and on to help out w/clues if needed.

8:30 pm

vanillaslice

bo5/20 can't see that and I have fireworks

8:30 pm

uusue2

yay, vanilla!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!

8:32 pm

Minveryork

bo 5/20 reminds me of actor Humphrey Bo*art vanilla.

8:32 pm

Nef

YAY, vanilla!!!! WTG!!!!

8:32 pm

Minveryork

Congratulations vanillaslice on fireworks! Good for U!

8:32 pm

vanillaslice

ty Min probably thinking of 5/22

8:33 pm

Minveryork

That is what I meant to say, bo5/22 sorry vanillaslice

8:33 pm

8:35 pm

vanillaslice

Three last days have been perfect, sunny winter weather

8:36 pm

Nef

8:36 pm

jmcnrick

8:36 pm

jmcnrick

8:37 pm

8:38 pm

vanillaslice

We had our prime minister visiting our town a couple of days ago and she thought she was in Bali, it was just that good

8:39 pm

Minveryork

It has be4/6 ae4/4s since I've done a story of clues.I will do one today though. It's hard to co 4/6 with the fact that I will soon lose my Grandmother who lives in Ca 4/6 Cod.I remember how she used to take me and my 2 sisters to Co 4/7 Island every summer when we were te4/4agers. We always had he 4/6 loads of fun with her.She was such a ho4/5 that she would always make us laugh.My Grandma was a literature teacher, so she used to teach me a lot about po4/5ry.She also used to be a great Ping Po 4/7 player & would always beat us at the game. Now she has frail bo4/6s and is a te5/14 person,but her mind is still there. I will miss her when she is go4/6. But I ho4/6 she sticks around for awhile longer.Husband wants to bo4/6 me off the computer. Hubby requested in a nasty to 4/4 for me to give him the computer. I will ob 4/8 his request to keep pe5/14. I am going to lift my bo5/18 out of this seat and watch some TV.Th 4/5 I'm going to goto bed

8:39 pm

jmcnrick

th** took him to dinner and had to stay and listen to him tell horror stories from the post election violence in Kenya in 2007

8:39 pm

Nef

I can't find that Y word to get NBTs Any hints would be appreciated

8:41 pm

Minveryork

yo 5/18 word sounds like a Baseball Hall of Famer Nef.

8:42 pm

jmcnrick

ty min that was a real boost

8:42 pm

Minveryork

yw

8:44 pm

jmcnrick

haha i was looking for a baseball player called Nef!

8:44 pm

jmcnrick

but i got it now

8:44 pm

Nef

LOL! Thanks, Min!

8:45 pm

Minveryork

yw

8:46 pm

jmcnrick

stats for the bottom row O please

8:46 pm

Minveryork

Should have put a comma before Nef. Bad ESL teacher

8:47 pm

MollyL

Short for the braces doctor

8:47 pm

MollyL

Oh crap, you said stats. Shoot me now.

8:48 pm

jmcnrick

*shoots molly with a rubber band*

8:48 pm

jmcnrick

its late; don't worry about it

8:48 pm

jesdraggon

evening kids

8:48 pm

MollyL

*Takes it like a woman*

8:48 pm

jmcnrick

not to worry min i rarely use punctuation in my posts so who am i to complain about a lack of a comma?

8:49 pm

MollyL

Hi Jes

8:49 pm

jmcnrick

*eats shoots and leaves*

8:49 pm

Minveryork

Hello jesdraggon!How are you doing? Welcome to grid

8:49 pm

jmcnrick

hi jes from backbeyond!

8:49 pm

uusue2

hi, jes!

8:50 pm

jesdraggon

how're things in babbleland?

8:51 pm

jmcnrick

how about the O in the third column

8:52 pm

MollyL

*Sings in gruffy Springsteen voice* DOWN IN BABBLELAND!

8:52 pm

jmcnrick

i would say things are normal jes *puts in ears plugs*

8:52 pm

MollyL

I think that is the oo6/30

8:53 pm

jmcnrick

oo6!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

8:53 pm

MollyL

I know, trippy.

8:53 pm

jmcnrick

i won't even pretend: hit me with a clue

8:54 pm

MollyL

oo + ***e Kelly + sometimes vowel

8:54 pm

jesdraggon

good word!

8:54 pm

jmcnrick

oooooooo

8:54 pm

MollyL

I think it sounds like tribal chanting.

8:54 pm

jesdraggon

henge is SO a word. gah.

8:55 pm

jmcnrick

and no damn definition

8:56 pm

MollyL

Henge is a word and it's NOT a proper noun. So there. I think oo6 has to do with human egg progression.

8:56 pm

jmcnrick

perhaps similar in meaning to oo first book in bible: creation of an egg cell

8:57 pm

jesdraggon

egg creation and development, not specifically human though.

8:57 pm

jmcnrick

how about the E for nbt

8:57 pm

8:59 pm

jesdraggon

9:08 pm

jmcnrick

9:09 pm

MollyL

Someone used "sometimes vowel" in a clue today and got the response "Sometimes vowel?" Is that ancient or are kids just not learning a gee dee thing in school anymore?

9:10 pm

jmcnrick

9:11 pm

jmcnrick

*dances to singing in the rain in honor of ge4/6*

9:27 pm

MollyL

JMC, you would have loved the show "Saving Grace". It was about an Oklahoma Police Department with one renegade Longhorn fan in it. He took unending grief.

9:27 pm

gapeach

Thanks jm and wht

9:27 pm

jesdraggon

no, sue, i am at best sporadically psyckik. I am more commonly psyko

9:27 pm

jmcnrick

i bet he did i remember the ou games in dallas back when ut was good

9:27 pm

suefrad625

a bunch of malarki is ho5

9:28 pm

9:28 pm

jmcnrick

ho5 owls? i actually went to Rice U

9:28 pm

suefrad625

9:28 pm

MollyL

I loved that show, but was disappointed with how they ended it.

9:28 pm

suefrad625

yw

9:28 pm

jesdraggon

b's bashed :)

9:28 pm

jmcnrick

i never saw the end--what was it?

9:29 pm

Jacula

I remameber watchjing the UK version of the film Saving Grace. Dopn't remember not likin the ending.

9:29 pm

suefrad625

it was dumb

9:29 pm

jesdraggon

c's crushed

9:29 pm

jmcnrick

i know the joan of whatever one turned out she had a medical problem and they cured her

9:29 pm

suefrad625

could have been much better and meant a lot more

9:29 pm

MollyL

Grace basically blew herself up to rid the town of an evil presence who was threatening another OK City type bombing.

9:29 pm

jesdraggon

e's eliminated

9:29 pm

Jacula

I think the US changed Saving Garce.

9:30 pm

jmcnrick

yuck!

9:30 pm

MollyL

No, that's only how season one of Joan ended. In season two, her "versions of God" came back.

9:30 pm

jmcnrick

so she got religion so she could go to heaven when she blew herself up? blech

9:30 pm

jesdraggon

9:30 pm

9:31 pm

jmcnrick

oh jac i am sorry life is shit but being puddled may not be

9:31 pm

Jacula

Giving up now, since last post was nonsense and in upper case.

9:31 pm

MollyL

Aw, poor Jac. *Sends Jac a hug*

9:31 pm

MollyL

Thing is JMC, Grace never really did "get religion". I guess you could say that Earl did "save her soul" though.

9:31 pm

jmcnrick

not to worry jac it made sense and considering some of the things my computer has done. . .

9:32 pm

Jacula

thanks for hugs, much appreciated;x

9:32 pm

wht

Jac, we have seen less sensical things in the chog. (and certainly in the grid.)

9:32 pm

jmcnrick

well i am with you molly that is a terrible end

9:32 pm

jmcnrick

<===not a hugger so waves to jac across the pond

9:32 pm

It could only have been worse if they showed her standing next to Earl with wings.

9:35 pm

uusue2

anyway, sorry to pop in and out so quickly, but my stepbrother is coming over at 8 tomorrow morning to get his mom's stuff out of my dad's house and I need some sleep to fortify myself

9:35 pm

MollyL

Jac, how was Saving Grace different in the UK?

9:36 pm

uusue2

(and if that sounds complicated, it is)

9:36 pm

Jacula

The Hawaiian goose is a real thug. It stops Babblers finishing the grid at times.

9:36 pm

suefrad625

eb5,18 and ivory come together in perfect harmony

9:36 pm

Oh God Sue, that sounds awkward.

it is, molly, but hopefully it is the beginning of the end - we spent about 3 hours today with my dad's lawyer and got pretty much everything straightened out

9:37 pm

Jacula

Back in Britain, we've begun to think that the Canadaian Goose. which is a smelly, noisy invader, might be nice to kill, cook and eat.

9:38 pm

uusue2

and now I am really gone, see you all tomorrow! and Illinois is overrun with Canadian geese as well. sigh

9:38 pm

wht

Fireworks, and nbt!
