Hi ruby. I also am paused as so many near-misses in this grid. I am going to make an early lunch as I have funeral to go to afterwards. Cheers to Ruby and Chic.

7:48 am

Mom

good morning everyone

7:48 am

Mom

good luck to you and Lickety ((MrP))

7:48 am

Riverdance

good morning ((Mom))

7:48 am

herinfernallady

MOooooooom

7:48 am

uusue2

hi, mom! (pathetic little bit of exercise is already done)

7:48 am

Mom

((River)) good morning

7:49 am

Mom

Hi uusue, any exercise beats no exercise at all

7:49 am

uusue2

exactly my thinking :-)

7:50 am

uusue2

also I walk to work and back which adds another 40 minutes

7:50 am

Mom

that is great that you do that uusue

7:50 am

uusue2

(fast I am not)

7:51 am

Mom

you don't want to go too fast, bad for the knees

7:52 am

uusue2

yes, my knees have really been acting up the past few days (not because of excessive speed, either!!)

7:52 am

uusue2

I am talking about a 20-minute per mile pace, shouldn't be strenuous at all

7:52 am

Mom

my ortho doctor told me many years ago .... for every pound of weight you lose it is 3 pounds off your knees

7:53 am

uusue2

yes, I really need to lose weight, am trying but it is so hard!

7:53 am

Mom

I think the older we get the harder it is

7:54 am

Riverdance

it sure is - my metabolism has come to a dead stop

7:54 am

Mom

ain't that the truth, River

7:54 am

kje

gm

7:54 am

kje

if your metabolism had stopped... you'd be dead ; )

7:54 am

Riverdance

hello kje

7:55 am

Mom

good morning ((KJE)) haven't seen you in ages. I hope all is well

7:55 am

Riverdance

well its sure at a slow crawl then...lol

7:55 am

kje

hi (((MOM)))!!!

7:55 am

uusue2

well, and not being able to do much exercise doesn't help

7:55 am

kje

doing well

7:55 am

uusue2

hi, kje!

7:55 am

Mom

lol a very slow crawl

7:56 am

uusue2

have had both knees replaced, and three fusion surgeries in my neck - makes it hard to do much of anything (neck is pretty much healed but knees sure are sore)

7:56 am

Riverdance

time for my breakfast - be back in a bit

7:56 am

Mom

So glad to hear that KJE

7:56 am

Mom

bye ((River))

7:56 am

Riverdance

yikes sue - you are too young for all that

7:57 am

uusue2

apparently not :-P

7:58 am

herinfernallady

Exk I can't keep up

7:58 am

Mom

one of my most favorite cookies is in the grid .... an 5/10

7:58 am

Mom

((Herin)) hello dear

7:59 am

uusue2

not my favorite flavor, mom, but I just got some seeds to grow some

7:59 am

herinfernallady

I pounced on you ages ago

8:00 am

kje

my 2 fave physics terms are in the grid

8:00 am

Mom

I am so sorry, Herin, I didn't see that

8:00 am

Mom

there is a bakery here that makes the most delicious ones. I look forward to them

8:01 am

uusue2

nice, kje :-)

8:01 am

Mom

what are the stats for them, KJE?

8:01 am

uusue2

the oh one was named after a physicist; the other one is the same word spelled backwards :-)

8:02 am

Mom

I have the oh 4/6 word

8:02 am

kje

the reason they are clever, is that one is the inverse property of the other... thus the fact they spelled one backwards is funny

8:03 am

kje

a little physics cleveress

8:03 am

uusue2

we have our moments :-)

8:04 am

kje

it looks like 80% of these words are going to have an n in them... that will be annoying for me

8:04 am

uusue2

anyway, mom, take off the s, reverse the letters, and put the s back on

8:05 am

Mom

thanks uusue, got it

8:05 am

Mom

kje, you don't like the letter N

8:05 am

uusue2

ok, my computer is acting up, time to reboot. need to shower and get breakfast anyway; bbl!

8:05 am

kje

it sticks

8:05 am

kje

so i often have to enter those words multiple times

8:06 am

Mom

bye bye Uusue

8:06 am

Mom

oh dear, that stinks

8:06 am

jmcnrick

back--i can't get myself out the door so came back

8:06 am

jmcnrick

bye uu

8:06 am

Mom

good morning jmc, why can't you get out the door?

8:06 am

herinfernallady

Hi JM and bye anyone I mised

8:07 am

jmcnrick

hi kje--did you find out you might be available oct 8th or 9th?

8:07 am

jmcnrick

inertia mom

8:07 am

jmcnrick

i need someone to shove me some days

8:07 am

jmcnrick

hi herin

8:07 am

Mom

glad you came back to sit for a spell

8:08 am

kje

I am on the wards... so if you get up to the DFW area, I can see you, but I ca't leave town... I will be on for 28 days straight no day off

8:08 am

kje

austin is too far for a quick drive down for the evening

8:08 am

jmcnrick

hmmm well i will have a car and i do not object to driving--does sw still have cheap shuttles to dfw?

8:09 am

kje

no idea

8:09 am

kje

dfw is about 3.5 hours from austin, almost 5 from houston

8:09 am

kje

we are kind of a large state ; )

8:10 am

jmcnrick

well i will nail my plans down better when i get closer to the date--thinking of flying into houston and driving to austin and then driving back to houston

8:10 am

jmcnrick

that is what i did the last time i came

8:10 am

jmcnrick

i know i did grow up in houston

8:10 am

kje

why not fly into austin?

8:11 am

jmcnrick

maybe i could swing back by dallas on my "way" to houston

8:11 am

jmcnrick

i want to spend some time with my friends in houston

8:11 am

kje

hahahahaha

8:11 am

kje

not eve close, jmc

8:11 am

jmcnrick

the last time i did it that way to pick up my sister who lives in galveston

8:12 am

kje

ah, yes, then houston would be closest to galveston

8:12 am

jmcnrick

my sister from here and i flew down, met my sister from galveston and drove up to austin to visit my sister up there

8:12 am

jmcnrick

we went by wimberly where we had a memorable family vacation when i was about 4

8:13 am

jmcnrick

complete with fairies and giants and a rattlessnake

8:13 am

kje

lol

8:13 am

kje

sounds like it was fun

8:13 am

jmcnrick

i love driving and i love driving in texas only second to driving the nachez trace

8:14 am

jmcnrick

well i had a memory of the wimberly hole that i thought was a childhood exaggeration that turned out to be true--that thing is the most amazing color

8:14 am

Mom

time to start my day, I hope everyone has a great one. ((Hugs)) to all of you

8:14 am

jmcnrick

there are some dinosaur sites between austin and dallas

8:14 am

rubyfoo

Mom

8:15 am

kje

well, october is state fair time, so could do that in dallas... you would eed to google the exact dates this year. And you are welcome to couch crash anytime. Just realize I do have to work daily so you will be o your own for parts of the time

kje

hagd mom

8:16 am

kje

yes, glen rose area, jmc

8:16 am

Mom

(((KJE))) thanks, you as well

8:16 am

jmcnrick

if i swung up that way it would only be for a day unless i decided to fly into dfw instead of houston

8:16 am

jmcnrick

okay thanks for more to think about for that trip kje--it is mostly on someone else's dime so i want to make the most of it

8:17 am

kje

OK, let me know as plans firm up... that way I'll know to sweep or something ; )

8:17 am

jmcnrick

8:58 am

herinfernallady

Sorry have a snark at the news

9:00 am

Judi

Phffth. The news is about the best comedy on television these days.

9:03 am

herinfernallady

Judi in this case it is sad but bloody stupid. Once again a OMFG Pit bull killed a small kid. Turns out it is a ''pit bull cross'' it is likely to be a pig dog. Just pisses me off the anti hate over pit bulls when it is moron owners that let their dogs roam and do what ever they like. Also that said DNA test the dog before saying it was a pitty

9:04 am

a1axelady1982

herin I have a pit mix and she is the bigest sweety there is

9:05 am

a1axelady1982

oates

9:05 am

a1axelady1982

ooops sorry

9:06 am

Judi

Crazy. I think it should be a pre-requisite that you have to have an IQ higher than a dog to actually own one.

9:06 am

Judi

*dogs* rather.

9:08 am

uusue2

hi again, all, agree about the dog owners

9:09 am

herinfernallady

I just think it is so sad that a kid dies because this dog just roamed about.

9:09 am

herinfernallady

In case you are wondering a Pig dog is usually a mixed breed and highly agressive.

9:10 am

herinfernallady

A1 I love pitties it is the owners and the media that make it impossible.

9:10 am

a1axelady1982

You are right.

9:11 am

uusue2

any dog can be dangerous if poorly trained; the bigger they are the more threat they pose

9:11 am

a1axelady1982

Ours thinks she is a chihuahua and wants to be in your lap all the time

9:11 am

a1axelady1982

She doesnt fit

9:11 am

uusue2

lol, a1, our 75-pound labradoodle likes to get in my partner's lap too

9:12 am

kje

su5?

9:12 am

uusue2

doesn't fit either

9:12 am

herinfernallady

It was my b.fs little dog that got me over my fear of little dogs (when she was alive). I was lunged at by a husky the other day because it wanted to play and the owner didn't control it. I wasn't afraid of the dog but could have been. I just snapped SIT and the owner was rather shocked I put it in its place

9:12 am

herinfernallady

Sue my friends Douge does that

9:12 am

herinfernallady

Except the douge weighs about 120 pounds

9:13 am

uusue2

our dog does occasionally get in fights with other dogs, though, especially if they are close to her size; not sure why, but we rescued her when she was already 4+ years old - don't know what her early life was like

9:14 am

cybernan

good morning, everyone :)

9:14 am

herinfernallady

Hi Cyber.

9:14 am

a1axelady1982

manse

9:14 am

a1axelady1982

dang sorry I keep doing that

9:14 am

herinfernallady

See Sue simple solution to that issue is muzzle the dog when walking and never let it roam

9:14 am

uusue2

ooh, missed that one, a1!

9:15 am

a1axelady1982

Just got up not real with it yet

9:15 am

herinfernallady

I had that one

9:15 am

uusue2

well, she is always on leash, herin, so usually Frank is able to keep her in check - after the first time he knows to be alert if other dogs are nearby

9:16 am

uusue2

and in 2 years it's only happened once, so probably not worth the muzzle (he usually walks her on the street or in the alley, so dogs can't sneak up on them)

9:16 am

herinfernallady

Sue one of my friends other dogs is muzzled when she is walked as she dislikes kids and skate boards. She was hurt by kids as a pup. I have fun walking her with the muzzle. People move then freak out when you pet her snout through the muzzle

9:17 am

uusue2

Sera is fine with kids and everything else except other large dogs that get too fresh :-) (and rabbits and squirrels...)

9:17 am

herinfernallady

But rabbits and squirrels can out run dogs

9:18 am

uusue2

anyway she is really Frank's dog, and he is really good with dogs, so I leave it up to him

9:18 am

uusue2

yes, exactly

9:18 am

herinfernallady

Awwww

9:18 am

herinfernallady

Unless you are the bunnies on my friends farm and they just are too cheeky and saunter about

9:19 am

uusue2

and as I say, now that he knows there's a risk with other large dogs he's on his guard if they are around, and there haven't been any more problems

9:19 am

uusue2

and the one dog she did mix it up with has a history of suddenly attacking other dogs

9:19 am

uusue2

no, our bunnies are quite shy :-)

9:23 am

Judi

Time to get away from the phone for a while (ringing off the bloody hook) and go do my filing. BBL.

9:24 am

uusue2

bye, judi!

9:31 am

9:47 am

crosshair

(((mrp)))

9:47 am

mrpresident

(((crossy!))) ** kisses **

9:47 am

doxy1lover

just read your update mrp, so sorry.

9:50 am

mrpresident

yeah doxy... such a bugger. But have spoken to my witnesses today and they are ready to go.
They can't believe he has gotten away with the lies.
I am going to do what the court asks of me... prove that I fear for my safety with reasonable grounds.
He will just attack me personally (discredit & disrepute me), and the court will see right through that!

9:50 am

doxy1lover

my prayers are with you.

9:50 am

mrpresident

it is just a formality... yesterday that is... but was very upset that I didn't get an 'interim APVO'

9:50 am

mrpresident

and I pray with you doxy... thank you!

9:51 am

crosshair

so sorry mrp,but not to worry,his lies need more lies to keep his cover and eventually he will be nailed and as you are only telling the truth,it will shine through his smokescreen

9:52 am

doxy1lover

maybe his lawyer is fed up with his lies too.

9:53 am

mrpresident

indeed crossy.... i have evidence of his lies that he told in court yesterday... I just have to first start with that... make the court see he is a liar, and then contest that I am fearful of my life because of his actions. I need to keep it simple and have excellent witnesses

9:54 am

mrpresident

well, he stood up and said he was 'represented', but I don't believe for a second he was.
the lawyer he had was in court at the same time and didn't look at him, talk to him, acknowledge him... he has been dumped for sure

9:55 am

mrpresident

and when I rang the lawyer to ask for him to ring me back regarding his client, I never got a call back.

9:55 am

doxy1lover

certainly sounds a little fishy there

9:55 am

mrpresident

he is also trying to get statements under duress, pretty sure the court doesn't like that

9:56 am

doxy1lover

sounds like his "defense" is falling apart now

9:57 am

crosshair

and remember,the courts hate having their time wasted.if he is dragging this on,they will crucify him.keep yours simple and to the point

9:57 am

mrpresident

he was to produce all evidence, witness list and statements by 25th July... he didn't. He put the papers in on 5th August, and never sent me the copies, as ordered by the court... he said in court yesterday he didn't realise he had to do that.
Does that indicate he has a lawyer?? Cause that is a basic request.

9:58 am

doxy1lover

he is just putting the nails in his own coffin

9:59 am

mrpresident

doxy, he chased an alleged witness down the road in his car... overtook the car and stopped the 'witness' so that they couldn't pass.
he then asked them to produce a statement and they said NO! He said he would subpeona them and they said, 'go ahead! do it'! It will cost him about $500 for them to come to court if he loses.

10:00 am

doxy1lover

lol. he is getting really desperate

10:00 am

mrpresident

yes doxy... I am just in shock that I didn't get an interim APVO... was so disappointing :(

10:00 am

carleekat

hi again all

10:00 am

mrpresident

hi carlee!

10:00 am

doxy1lover

hi carlee

10:01 am

mrpresident

he is very desperate.... he approached a neighbour of one of our friends up the road.... you ready for this one????

10:01 am

doxy1lover

remember the "justice" system isn't perfect.

10:01 am

mrpresident

he asked her to write a statement saying that she had seen my husband making 'bombs' in her neighbours backyard!!

10:02 am

doxy1lover

this guy is a goofball

10:02 am

carleekat

hahahaha....some people are so funny....am sorry MRP..i know is very serious...but the absurdity is sidesplitting {{hugs}}

10:02 am

mrpresident

the police say he should be locked up... but they can't do a thing about it... the law sucks so bad.

10:03 am

doxy1lover

maybe you'll get lucky and he'll be put in jail for perjory.

10:04 am

mrpresident

He got a 19 year old kid to sign a statement for him (this kid worked for him), and threatened to take him under subpeona... of course, the young man was not interested in being 'dragged' to court, so he wrote a statement. It has nothing in the statement.
The Prick is very very desperate!

10:05 am

mrpresident

desparate ?? sorry, spelling issues at 1am

10:05 am

o-o

the neighbor should be called to testify the guy was attempting to suborn perjury.

10:06 am

doxy1lover

thats ok, spelling issues at 9am. was on call last night and had multiple calls so no sleep

mrpresident

she can't BR, she is scared of him and has 4 children... single mother... she is very frightened of him

10:07 am

mrpresident

i can only tell the court this, and I have a witness who can testify that she heard the conversation and how frightened she is for me and her family

10:07 am

mrpresident

and I only have to prove 2 things....

10:08 am

doxy1lover

sounds like he is screwed

10:08 am

mrpresident

I am fearful of him, and I have reasonable grounds for this fear.

10:09 am

mrpresident

that is how I will play it out in court... however, he will discredit me, disrepute me, lie and hopefully lose his basket of cookies in front of the judge

10:10 am

doxy1lover

I would love to be there to see him get his dues

10:10 am

mrpresident

he isn't fearful of me... he was more than satisfied to walk up to where I was sitting 3 weeks ago, only 2 metres from me... and have his 'associates' abuse me

10:12 am

mrpresident

he cannot produce a single document to say he is fearful of me... all his documents just 'write me off'.

10:13 am

mrpresident

he is using the courts to disrepute me... he will be in a lot of trouble.

10:14 am

carleekat

HarryHood

ugh - good luck with that. I did that last week - needed a copy of a 501-c-3 letter...it took about 45 minutes for something that could have easily been done online

12:05 pm

jmcnrick

you should be able to call ogden directly harry

12:06 pm

HarryHood

I called someplace directly, but the hold time was enormous

12:06 pm

jmcnrick

i am paid by the hour for this stuff so i really am content except the hold music is so god awful

12:06 pm

HarryHood

hah put it on speaker and set the volume low ;0

12:06 pm

jmcnrick

well they do have millions of customers and don't have millions of staff

12:07 pm

jmcnrick

the people who want to cut the government and then complain about governmental customer service drive me nuts

12:07 pm

HarryHood

well most of this stuff could be so easily automated

12:08 pm

jmcnrick

well more and more of it is being automated--i have been calling the irs for 30 years

12:08 pm

HarryHood

and the irs could be so much smaller if the tax code weren't so difficult

12:09 pm

jmcnrick

well that is congress's fault and everyone who thinks their situation is the one that shouldn't be taxes

12:09 pm

jmcnrick

god bless warren buffet!

12:10 pm

HarryHood

I'm stuck at 55...ready to list

12:11 pm

jmcnrick

but he doesn't pronounce it like the smorgasbord

12:11 pm

jmcnrick

wtg harry i have 97 left

12:12 pm

HarryHood

somebody should suggest to warren that he insist people prounounce his name like that

12:12 pm

HarryHood

his Omaha friends will have coronaries

4:22 pm

Elle Em Jay

4:22 pm

Glantarell

i usually forget stupid things like plurals and 4 letter words LOL

4:23 pm

4:25 pm

Elle Em Jay

ok ty

4:26 pm

There are one or two other players here form Wales but they seem to play at different times of day to me so I rerely 'see' them

4:30 pm

Elle Em Jay

how does the scoring work

4:30 pm

Glantarell

do either of you have a clue for the ca6/24? It's baffling me

4:31 pm

Elle Em Jay

no sorry

4:31 pm

Glantarell

there is a number on each letter tile, if the word is 4 leters it is just adding those numbers. Once you get to 5 letter words, you add the numbers then double it

4:31 pm

Glantarell

after that I haven't worked it out :-) but it mutiplies up

4:32 pm

Elle Em Jay

ok thenks

4:34 pm

Glantarell

when you get really really stuck you can resort to the 'morewords' website

4:36 pm

Elle Em Jay

oh whats that?

4:36 pm

Elle Em Jay

ah found it

4:37 pm

Glantarell

just google 'morewords' and you will find it - it is an online word list which is searchable and very useful for this game, scrabble and other word games

4:38 pm

sadie52

yea it does

4:39 pm

sadie52

but when you are totaly frustrated it makes ya feel better lol

4:39 pm

Glantarell

however, i usually end up resorting to it to finish

4:39 pm

Elle Em Jay

I cant see us finishing this

4:40 pm

Glantarell

4:40 pm

Glantarell

sometimes they are 300 words or more

4:41 pm

Glantarell

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

9:18 pm

hi, min! I had a very tiring day but am now relaxing.

9:20 pm

lol,sue,all i need to do to freshen the room with the essence of bacon of to cook a few rashers of porkine mnaples and hickory smoked delight till nice and crispy

9:20 pm

uusue2

well, but you could hang this one in your car :-)

9:21 pm

crosshair

mm,this is true..

9:21 pm

crosshair

but i have a few great scratch and sniff "i love bacon" stickers left also

9:22 pm

uusue2

they have 40 different bacon products: http://www.thinkgeek.com/brain/whereis
it.cgi?t=bacon&x=0&y=0

9:23 pm

i also havew bacon band-aids,bacvon breth mints,bacon tooth picks bacon slat,baconaise...

9:23 pm

9:23 pm

uusue2

including bacon dental floss and toothpaste

9:23 pm

uusue2

bacon jelly beans and lollipops

9:23 pm

crosshair

i have had the floss,but have yet to try the toothpaste

9:23 pm

dan2bit

ni5/10 the first one?

9:24 pm

uusue2

bacon lip balm and soap

9:24 pm

crosshair

i have had the jelly beans but not the lollys

9:24 pm

uusue2

and a stuffed bacon toy :-)

9:25 pm

crosshair

had the bacon balm,but not the soap

9:26 pm

crosshair

i have seen the bacon cologne,but my mrs drew the line at that and the bacon deoderant

9:26 pm

uusue2

and something called fizzy bacon drink tablets

9:26 pm

crosshair

now that is new to me,bacon fizzy tabs!

9:26 pm

uusue2

anyway, dan, the first ni5/10 I have is the plural of an ni4/4, and probably not the one you are looking for

9:26 pm

Minveryork

ni 5/10 adds a vowel near the end of the following ni 4/4 word dan2bit.

9:27 pm

uusue2

you plop them in your drink and it adds fizz and bacon taste, apparently

*belly flop splash*

9:54 pm

carleekat

hehehe stiddy!!!!!.... and hi there sue

9:55 pm

Jacula

I'm reading a lovely book of short stories, some of which are written by friends of mine. It's called 'Diamonds & Pearls' and is edited by Elaine Everest and was written and published in aid of a small charity called We Are Against Brest Cancer. You can find it on Amazon.

9:55 pm

uusue2

<--- cannot even begin to compete with stid

9:55 pm

Jacula

Hi carlee.

9:55 pm

carleekat

hi jacs...

9:55 pm

uusue2

nice, jac!

9:55 pm

Jacula

*BreAst Cancer, I meant to type.

9:55 pm

stidmama

(not a competition, sue...) ;-)

9:55 pm

carleekat

returns stiddy's belly flop with a 2 1/2 back summersault with a 1 1/2 twist dive....and lands on back

9:56 pm

uusue2

and with that I am off to pick out tomorrow's clothes (something I keep saying I should do but never actually do)

9:56 pm

carleekat

sue..its jsut stiddy's and my own..dorky... way

9:56 pm

stidmama

owie... *helps carlee out of the water and offers restorative mai tai*

9:56 pm

carleekat

nite nite sue...

9:56 pm

uusue2

have an 8 am meeting so need to be up early

9:56 pm

stidmama

have fun, sue! *wishing I had clothes worth thinking about*

9:56 pm

carleekat

yeuck

9:56 pm

uusue2

<--- is at least as dorky as anyone

9:57 pm

stidmama

yuck to mai tai? no idea what it tastes like, but I like the little umbrellas!

9:57 pm

Jacula

I believe it's going to be a lashing with rain day later here in UK, and so I intend to bake and sew.

9:57 pm

carleekat

yay for dorkiness

9:57 pm

carleekat

no..yeuck to 8 am meeting stiddy...

9:57 pm

uusue2

well, that's the problem, stid, most of my clothes are in fact not worth thinking about but I am a host at a meeting for new faculty, then am riding a golf cart for 4 hours helping students move into the dorms

9:57 pm

carleekat

actually i have never had one either...

9:58 pm

stidmama

oh! LOL I am contemplating getting up at 6 am starting next week just to be in practice again.

9:58 pm

uusue2

so need to figure out something that looks reasonably professional for the morning and that I won't sweat to death in during the afternoon

9:58 pm

Jacula

Nothing wrong with sorting out your clothes for next day, especially for work. Cuts down on the panic time in the morning and means you can enjoy your breakfast.

9:58 pm

carleekat

( note to all...i got all my transcript requests off today )

9:58 pm

stidmama

a light-weight shell and a sweater or jacket, sue?

9:58 pm

carleekat

chinos... and a crisp white cotton blouse...

9:58 pm

stidmama

well done carlee!!!

9:58 pm

uusue2

and no time to get to my office in between so everything I am taking with me has to fit in a small bag

9:59 pm

uusue2

hahaha, we do not have your weather, stid, expecting 81 and sunny tomorrow

9:59 pm

carleekat

the blouse will look good rolling up sleeves..take a pair of open toed sandles and fold up hem of chinos for a capris with wide cuff for afternoon

9:59 pm

Jacula

uusue - I'd advise linen trousers (not white, due to the golf cart thing) and a loose top with a cardigan or wrap handy should things cool down.

9:59 pm

uusue2

and I don't have either chinos or a white blouse (white is not my color, I tend to spill things on it) but that would be a nice idea, carlee

10:00 pm

carleekat

<sigh>

10:00 pm

carleekat

nice beige cotton slack?

10:00 pm

uusue2

don't have linen trousers, either (my wardrobe is sadly lacking)

10:00 pm

carleekat

( i love white)

10:01 pm

uusue2

I have some pink (more like dusty rose) or some pale green

10:01 pm

carleekat

ok..any bottoms that are natural fibre and not dark blue nor black?

10:01 pm

uusue2

but we have to wear red t-shirts in the golf carts so probably pink and green are out

10:01 pm

Jacula

cotton trousers in khaki or coffee colour then, uusue. No nylon - too warm.

10:02 pm

uusue2

what's wrong with black?

10:02 pm

carleekat

its HOT in the sun..u are outside all afternoon in a golf cart

10:02 pm

uusue2

won't it make me look thinner? :-)

10:02 pm

Jacula

uusue - black is too heat-absorbing and also shows marks.

10:03 pm

uusue2

true. Well, I will take all your advice to heart, look mournfully at my closet, and come up with something

10:03 pm

carleekat

sheesh.... fine..wear black..wrap urself in saran wrap underneath whilst ur at it... make sure is polyester too..and put nylons over top too!!!!!

10:03 pm

Jacula

Show us a pic when you do, uusue.

10:04 pm

carleekat

oh and fur lined boots to boot :p

10:04 pm

uusue2

I was thinking black because I have some loose black cotton pants, most of the rest of them are poly blends, and I thought the cotton would be cooler despite the colot

10:04 pm

uusue2

*color

10:04 pm

Jacula

carlee - I'm supposed to be the impatient one, hving just been made redundant. Have a heart for poor uusue's dilemma! LOL

10:04 pm

stidmama

sue, you'll find something nice, I know. Don't worry too much about the colors clashing when you add the red t-shirt. Everyone wll be in the same boat.

10:04 pm

carleekat

i am not liking this grid either...

10:04 pm

stidmama

Black cotton would be preferable to any color in poly in that heat!

10:05 pm

uusue2

thank you, stid

10:05 pm

carleekat

definitely cotton

10:05 pm

Jacula

stid's right on that score! Just make sure you wear a light-coloured, loose top.

10:05 pm

carleekat

what are the school colours?

10:05 pm

uusue2

and loose is good too, I think, plus black isn't hard to dress up with a nice top for the morning (where I will be in air conditioning)

10:05 pm

uusue2

school colors are red and black

10:06 pm

stidmama

definitely, sue -- good thinking!

10:06 pm

carleekat

( can u make a wide hem and fold up the slacks to capris....?)

10:06 pm

carleekat

there u go

10:06 pm

stidmama

LOL carlee just wants you to show a little leg....

10:06 pm

carleekat

its cooler that is all

10:06 pm

uusue2

carlee has not seen my legs

10:06 pm

carleekat

oh..and a fun pair of red flip floppy sandles with rhinestones on them

10:07 pm

uusue2

and while I am driving the golf cart if I get way too hot I can roll them up, probably no one will notice

10:07 pm

carleekat

paint ur toes red too!!!!

10:07 pm

stidmama

*idea* BIG floppy red hat with black ribbon and feathers...

10:07 pm

stidmama

and bangle bracelets. definitely.

10:07 pm

uusue2

and on my feet it will be birkenstocks, that's all I have, and they are brown (sorry, I am fashion impaired)

10:07 pm

Jacula

Just make sure you shave/wax/whatever and moisturise your legs before you put them on show.

10:07 pm

stidmama

(school colors, all the way)

10:07 pm

uusue2

cute, stid

10:08 pm

uusue2

if I roll up my pants it will be while I am sitting in the golf cart, no one will see my legs

10:08 pm

carleekat

( thinks we should take sue shopping and carlee HATES shopping)

10:08 pm

Jacula

Oh, birkenstocks are not a good look! But at least your feet will be comfy.

10:08 pm

carleekat

shave ur legs...whoever u are driving will see ur legs

10:08 pm

stidmama

comfy trumps fashion in golf carts

10:09 pm

carleekat

nooooooooo... golf cart screams fashion

10:09 pm

Jacula

This kind of feels like my struggle to turn my tomboy stepdaughter into a lady or even into a girl.

10:09 pm

uusue2

always do, carlee, but typically the seat next to me is full of stuff (that's what the carts are for) - you would not believe how much stuff some of these kids bring along

10:09 pm

carleekat

how old jacs?

10:09 pm

carleekat

yes i would...

10:09 pm

stidmama

younger than her son, carlee!

10:09 pm

Jacula

16, carlee.

10:09 pm

uusue2

lol, jac, if my mother were alive I am sure she would agree with you (I was always a fashion disappointment to her)

10:10 pm

stidmama

oops. was responding to the wrong age.... *sigh*

10:10 pm

carleekat

is she happy and into sports jacs?

10:10 pm

Jacula

She's not happy and not into sports, carlee.

10:10 pm

carleekat

oh boy....

10:10 pm

jmcnrick

10:10 pm

carleekat

10:10 pm

carleekat

10:11 pm

jmcnrick

uu you can buy cheap red flip flops at almost any store

10:11 pm

stidmama

time for me to take a break and eat something unhealthy. back tomorrow! good luck, sue -- I know that you will do fine.

10:11 pm

carleekat

mind my daughter is in that stage a bit too...

10:11 pm

uusue2

anyway, I will figure out what to wear despite my limited closet and impaired fashion sense

10:11 pm

stidmama

hey jmc! *poof*

10:11 pm

carleekat

( payless sue)

10:11 pm

jmcnrick

if she is 16 of course she is not happy it goes with the territory

10:11 pm

uusue2

yes but not at this time of night (at least I don't want to go out now)

10:12 pm

uusue2

I have to look decently professional in the morning and then drive a golf cart wearing a red t-shirt in the afternoon

10:13 pm

uusue2

night, min!

10:13 pm

carleekat

nite nite minver..sleep well

10:13 pm

Jacula

Me and her female cousin got her into a dress etc., for her prom but she looked like a bloke in a dress. I thought it might be bettter to put her in a tux for the evening, but, apparently, her teacher had already told her that that would not be acceptable. That might not have put us off, but the cost of female tux (she has a big bust) was prohibitive. I could have tailored her an outfit but she didn't want to be an outcast, due to what the teacher had said.

10:13 pm

jmcnrick

so go to old navy and buy some chinos

10:13 pm

uusue2

and I don't like things between my toes - used to wear flip flops all the time but can't any more

10:13 pm

Jacula

'Night Min.

10:14 pm

uusue2

10:14 pm

jmcnrick

i don't like flip flops either but sometimes we must suffer

10:14 pm

carleekat

hmmm... i would consider taking her for a makeover..if it woul dmake her happy

10:14 pm

jmcnrick

a cvs pharmacy has flip flops uu--and nail polish

10:14 pm

uusue2

anyway, I will be fine, if not fashionable, I figure at my age I am entitled to dress however I feel like as long as I am neat and clean

10:14 pm

carleekat

i love flip flops...

10:15 pm

uusue2

don't have cvs, only walgreens, and they closed at 10

10:15 pm

jmcnrick

hahahaha you make it sound like you are old uu!

10:15 pm

jmcnrick

walmart is open 24 hours

10:15 pm

uusue2

10:15 pm

carleekat

yeap..walmart...24 hour

10:15 pm

jmcnrick

:-P tell me there is no walmart

10:15 pm

Jacula

flip flops or the more expensive version - toe post sandals are my favourites.

10:15 pm

carleekat

walmart is even open here 24 hour

10:16 pm

uusue2

closest 24 hour walmart is a ways away (and my son just took the car)

10:16 pm

jmcnrick

and he doesn't have a phone to call to pick u up a pair of red flip flops

10:16 pm

jmcnrick

define "aways"

10:17 pm

Jacula

Unless your Walmart has the George range of clothes or even the Barbara Hulanicki (formerly Biba) range of clothes, it's not worth getting clothes there.

10:18 pm

jmcnrick

i have bought several things at walmart and they are fine

10:18 pm

carleekat

i get my camp clothes at walmart...perfect pants for camping...the nursing pants....

10:18 pm

Jacula

Hmmm.

10:18 pm

carleekat

greens... whatever u call them...

10:18 pm

uusue2

ok, in one place they say they close at 10 but in another they say 24 hours. next closest one is a 45 minute drive.

10:18 pm

jmcnrick

help with the su5 please

10:19 pm

carleekat

call son to pick u up a pair...

10:19 pm

jmcnrick

i bet they are 24 hours and it is the pharmacy that closes at 10

10:19 pm

uusue2

su + ***ternal is the opposite of external

10:19 pm

carleekat

( i gave up on this grid ages ago jmc..i stil have8 0 to find and am not looking at all

10:19 pm

uusue2

( cant wait for my first day back myself )

10:22 pm

Jacula

Although Walmart has taken over ASDA in the UK, it still clings to its original origins, as a farmer's fair price store. I have to say that since the USA firm took over, standards have dropped and so have stock levels and replinishments.

10:22 pm

uusue2

then you can compare with my usual dressy self in the flickr photos (or facebook if you have it)

10:23 pm

jmcnrick

i am sorry to hear that jac

10:23 pm

uusue2

night, all!

10:24 pm

jmcnrick

bye uu

10:24 pm

carleekat

nite sue

10:24 pm

Jacula

The problem with American companies taking over UK stores is that the stores no longer stick to what they were once good at providing and try to cram everything you could possibly think of needing or wanting all into on store. It doesn't work here in UK.

10:24 pm

Jacula

'Night sue.

10:27 pm

Jacula

I think that the top executives really need to employ UK born reseachers to let them know what the UK wants, and not just an overall view but in each region, because it differs a lot even 20 miles apart, beleive me!

10:27 pm

Jacula

Or even believe me! LOL
