12:50 am

jillibus

there is a daily theme for icons, which sprite (in the Netherlands) collects and posts. I post a copy of her list for those on this side of the Atlantic -- and west. You'll se it if you click on my icon (although I must update it now). Todays' theme, suggested by arleeecat, is something that looks like the first letter of your name, so my saxophones is trying to look like a J. Sometimes the themes are very interesting and people post great info.

12:50 am

jillibus

Fun to learn.

12:52 am

Alohablue

aha.......how fun!!

12:53 am

jillibus

Erda

Hate to tell you, but you ARE in the US...

1:07 am

Now you need an icon. When you go to your My Account, on the left-hand page you will see your grey head with Edit written under it, and instructions as to how to get an icon. Do the Browse thing and choose something from either your own Pictures files or go to Google and find something to put there.

1:08 am

mrpresident

we changed 3 weeks ago

4:42 am

KatieMcG

we got an extra hour in bed today :-)

4:42 am

sprite

as much as I ha4 the start of DST, I love going back to normal. Getting up after sleeping in, eating when I am hungry, going to bed when I am sleepy. It is nice :)

4:43 am

sprite

yes that is very silly. We used to, long ago, didn't we? But then they changed it.

4:43 am

sprite

hiya Katie :)

4:43 am

KatieMcG

Hi sprite, morning everyone

4:44 am

rubyfoo

HI KATIE

4:44 am

mrpresident

am watching Flowers In The Attic... the book was so so sad, now this movie is just incredibly sad

4:44 am

mrpresident

hi katie :)

4:44 am

sprite

very sad theme, mrP.

4:44 am

KatieMcG

I'm watching the Grand Prix, playing babble and hoping hubby wakes up before whatever Rhubarb and Crumble have trapped under the radiator cover makes an apperance

4:45 am

debjed

i have never read that book. I think I'll write it down so I remember

4:45 am

sprite

lol Katie! Very vivid image in a few lines!

4:45 am

sprite

Virginia Andrews

4:46 am

mrpresident

is an incredibly well written sad story about children

4:46 am

rubyfoo

THAT'S ANNOYIG! i JUST HIT THE WRONG KEY AND TOTALLY LOST BABBLE

4:46 am

KatieMcG

I read them years ago, I liked the first one but felt they got stranger and stranger

4:46 am

rubyfoo

sorry didn't mean to shout

4:46 am

debjed

I assume Rhubarb and Crumble are two of your cats :)

4:47 am

sprite

aw poor rubyfoo, lol. Easy now gal ;)

4:47 am

mrpresident

shout away! haven't given shouting a go in a long while

4:47 am

debjed

I have three cats too, Katie

4:47 am

KatieMcG

yes they are the two youngest. Custard the eldest probably brought whatever it is in the house in the first place but is sitting next to me looking all innocent at the moment

4:47 am

rubyfoo

I thought they might be small children with cute names, playing with spiders.... lol

4:48 am

mrpresident

Christopher, Cathy, Cory and Carey... those poor kids

4:48 am

sprite

Custard is a smart one

4:48 am

sprite

totally love the names, btw

4:48 am

KatieMcG

sometimes I think small children would be less trouble :-)

4:48 am

mrpresident

the smaller the kids the smaller the problem.... too right katie

4:48 am

debjed

one of my boys is batting at the blinds and driving me crazy :)

4:49 am

sprite

pets (and kids) are so smart when it comes to getting our attention.

4:49 am

KatieMcG

Deb I think they know what drives you mad and keep doing it to see how long it takes you to break

4:49 am

mrpresident

deb, i had to start a system with one of my kids... show him a red card to stop him doing things, a yellow card to warn he was close to the edge, and a green card to say well done!!

4:50 am

rubyfoo

Ruby, the tyrant, has developed a new, special, ordering-me-around bark. It is so cute that I have to obey!

4:50 am

mrpresident

But, it was the only communication level I had with him for a period of time :)

4:50 am

sprite

see :D So very smart.

4:50 am

debjed

I don't know what I would do without them though. Mrp, I don't think my cats would understand the colors :)

4:50 am

KatieMcG

Crumble has worked out that stealing my wedding ring from the bedside cabinet is a sure fire way of getting me up........nothing like the sight of it in her mouth running down the bed to get me moving

4:52 am

sprite

Terra can open the fly door himself, coming in. But he only does that when we are not in the room. Whenever we are, he scratches and scratches and sounds his tiny bark until we open the door.

4:52 am

rubyfoo

I can't imagine life without dogs

4:52 am

mrpresident

ha deb! cats are too bubbly for colour! They need noise!

4:52 am

debjed

or a squirt of water !!

4:52 am

mrpresident

indeed ruby... my dog is just like one of the kids!

4:52 am

sprite

ruby, did you see I started a game with you? Took me a while to figure it out, but managed.

4:53 am

KatieMcG

I have a 'voice' I use when they are being naught it works really well!

4:53 am

mrpresident

water did miracles to stop my dog from barking!

4:53 am

mrpresident

yes, the voice works well on animals and humans!

4:53 am

rubyfoo

yes, I made a play last night before I went to bed. I'm delighted!

4:53 am

rubyfoo

(my dogs never do anything bad!)

4:54 am

sprite

I use the voice and 'the look'. Work great.

4:54 am

4:56 am

Sally-catlover

4:56 am

rubyfoo

well on the way, then, sally

4:56 am

5:05 am

rubyfoo

sprite

ad7/8 combo, very unyielding (material or opinion)

5:05 am

debjed

don't get me wrong, I'm not thin !! :)

5:05 am

Sally-catlover

And it gives you the pb :-)

5:06 am

sprite

5:06 am

debjed

we have some great dark chocolate at the food co-op I work for.

5:06 am

sprite

oh I love good dark chocolate. Sinfully full taste.

5:06 am

5:08 am

for those still looking for the biggies: di8/9 strewn with rhinestones. French form of the word.

5:08 am

rubyfoo

I think sprite knows more Fr than I do!

5:09 am

sprite

*grins* don't bet on that!

5:09 am

Soodle

Ruby - I got your email. I will reply from work. Still got huge 'puter problems.

5:10 am

rubyfoo

I'm ready to shoot mine, so don't feel bad. I was so long in writing that I don't deserve a quick response!

5:10 am

sprite

puter problems are one of the bigger frustrations of our times... (hey did I put that beautifully or not)

5:10 am

Sally-catlover

Thanks for the dia 8/9 sprite

5:10 am

rubyfoo

what a philosopher!

5:11 am

sprite

yvw Sally. Odd one, isn't it? Took me ages.

5:11 am

Soodle

Beautifully put, Sprite. (The air would turn blue if I were to type in how I feel about puter probs :-P)

5:11 am

debjed

not getting that di

5:12 am

Sally-catlover

Actually we use that word in English, to mean paste jewellery that looks like the real thing.

5:12 am

sprite

well that was my public opinion. My private one uses a lot of the symbols over the number keys.

5:13 am

rubyfoo

(last night the air was pink, just after sundown) it was incredibly beautiful!

5:13 am

sprite

yes I think it is derived from the french, Sally

5:13 am

Soodle

Cubic zirconia are just not a girl's best friend!!

5:13 am

Sally-catlover

Oh yes, it is.

5:13 am

Sally-catlover

deb: di**onds are forever. AM = **** meridian. Plural for the 9.

5:14 am

sprite

ruby: one of those nights that when you'd make a photograph, it would look fake!

5:15 am

rubyfoo

I even tried, but it was totally nil. Like when I tried to photograph the bats at dusk

5:15 am

sprite

hey, Ghandi is in the grid!

5:16 am

sprite

yeah those are impossible to photograph without special equipment. They move so fast, and in the semi dark...

5:16 am

rubyfoo

the night I tried, there was a crescent moon and it was amazing

5:17 am

sprite

I can watch bats for hours. Their flying makes me happy. I don't know why.

5:17 am

rubyfoo

the tiny ones here look like black butterflies

5:17 am

rubyfoo

there is a cave up the cliff above us

5:17 am

5:19 am

sprite

:D Firebats it is!

5:19 am

sprite

deb, did that clue help you?

5:19 am

debjed

AM=**** meridian???? sorry, can't find that di yet.

5:20 am

debjed

I want a bat house in my back yard :)

5:20 am

sprite

the time indicator, before or after noon... AM or PM. The 'before' word.

5:20 am

Sally-catlover

deb. the first four letters begin like the jewel, the second four are like the word meaning "before".

5:20 am

rubyfoo

we thought of getting one, but cleaning it would be too icky, even for me

5:20 am

rubyfoo

and they're happy in their cave

5:21 am

sprite

hm, I'd be willing to clean a lot of icky stuff just to have bats close. Will look into that!

5:22 am

rubyfoo

sally: the fish are thriving, thanks to you. Some of them are over a foot long now

5:22 am

sprite

deb: or take the 'unyielding' word. Change the first 3 letters into the first 3 of the gemstone. Add a vowel to the end.

5:23 am

Sally-catlover

Good ruby, I only gave you the link.

5:23 am

sprite

Sally, sometimes a link is all it takes :) (as with the cards!)

5:23 am

rubyfoo

but I still consider you their godmother

5:23 am

Soodle

Instead of a PB we should have a bat-cave, Ã¡ la Gotham city!

5:23 am

Sally-catlover

lol ruby

5:24 am

oh yes, especially now with Hallowe'en!

5:24 am

rubyfoo

I HATE snow/ice

2:39 pm

I will call my dad tomorrow (he is in NJ) to make sure he is managing (which I am sure he is)

2:39 pm

uusue2

we've had snow here on Halloween before, but it isn't much fun (kids don't like having to wear winter coats on top of their costumes!)

2:39 pm

periwinkle

why not call him today, sue?

2:40 pm

periwinkle

whatever happend with his wife, sue?

2:40 pm

Uneaixoise

haven't had trick or treaters here for several years -- new family in duplex down the street said they'd probably show up with their dog so I DO have some candy "just in case" LOL

2:40 pm

uusue2

well, I just had a long talk with him on Friday, and if the power's out his phones won't work (although I suppose I could call his cell phone)

2:41 pm

uusue2

as far as I know his wife (now ex) is fine, une. Their divorce was final earlier this month.

2:41 pm

Uneaixoise

brand new baby on either side of me so SOME day there WILL be kids looking for treats LOL

2:41 pm

Uneaixoise

:-D

2:41 pm

and he is ok with that?

2:42 pm

Uneaixoise

dorens is in NJ and someone (Annie?) said earlier that she had no power . . . brrrrr

2:42 pm

uusue2

no, he doesn't like it a bit, but there isn't anything he can do about it so he's going on with his life.

2:42 pm

periwinkle

there is a boy next door and at leasst 2 kids across the street but none of them have tricked or treated

2:42 pm

uusue2

yes, she posted yesterday on facebook that her power was out, and big trees were down in her yard (she had a picture of them)

2:42 pm

periwinkle

my great nephew who is 2 is supposed to come round later today

2:43 pm

Uneaixoise

so many folks in Nashville take their kids to the mall or to "Trunk or Treat" parties

2:43 pm

periwinkle

that sounds like a good idea, Une

2:43 pm

uusue2

ah, we are in a small residential neighborhood in a small town, so we still get a fair number of kids coming around

2:43 pm

Uneaixoise

oh, that's cool, sue!

2:44 pm

periwinkle

i HATE Halloween too, never did trick or treating as a kid, dont know what we were not allowed to

2:44 pm

Uneaixoise

i grew up in a small town . . . we collected for UNICEF, then went door to door trick or treating :-)

2:44 pm

periwinkle

not liking this grid, bbl

2:44 pm

we always trick-or-treated; when I was little my mother made all my costumes

2:44 pm

uusue2

bye, peri! I don't like it either :-)

2:44 pm

Uneaixoise

i still have an elaborate black and orange clown costume my mom made me a million yrs ago :-)

2:44 pm

Uneaixoise

2:45 pm

uusue2

my costumes are all long gone, but i still have some pictures (notable one of me in a penguin costume)

2:45 pm

Uneaixoise

yes, this is a tres sucky grid

2:45 pm

Uneaixoise

how fun, sue LOL

2:46 pm

uusue2

maybe I will use it as my icon tomorrow - should be able to take a picture of it with my phone, assuming I can find it

2:46 pm

Uneaixoise

worst halloween ever was the year I was really sick and had to stay home and hand out the candy . . . bummer

2:47 pm

uusue2

ick! I remember being sick on Christmas, but I don't think I was ever sick on Halloween

2:47 pm

MollyL

<---Wants to take Peri trick-or-treating. Halloween is fun for kids (and grown up kids) Peri. I'm sorry you missed out on that.

2:48 pm

uusue2

the really little kids are so cute! and they are usually very shy - I have to hand them their candy :-)

2:48 pm

Uneaixoise

i agree, molly -- was lots of fun . . . hmmm . . . have pix to select from for icon tomorrow :-)

2:49 pm

MollyL

My kids were always told this, before we left for trick-or-treating..."If I don't hear you say THANK YOU, you will get no candy when we get home." *Evil Mother*

2:50 pm

uusue2

I remember when my son was about 2 - a lady down the street held out an apple to him. He looked at it for a bit, then his finger came out and pushed it away :-) (I apologized to her and took it)

2:51 pm

Uneaixoise

LOLOLOL!!!

2:51 pm

i saw on the news that there's an uber religious group handing out Bibles instead of candy . . . sheesh

when I lived in Oklahoma (close to 30 years ago now) there were parents objecting to Halloween decorations and parties in the schools - they thought it was Satanic (having never lived in the South before, I was astounded)

2:54 pm

Uneaixoise

oh, sue, i used to work for a religious nonprofit and there were some ladies who felt that way - I decorated myself and my office anyway -- am sure they figured I was going straight to hell! LOL

Kaplan the Magne

How bout that.

2:55 pm

Uneaixoise

hey, seaspray!!

2:57 pm

uusue2

I haven't lost a close relative since my sister died in 2001, and as I say, mostly I have gotten through the grief but sometimes it hits me

2:57 pm

SeaSpray

Hey Unea

2:58 pm

MollyL

Sue, I think those occasions are just a nice window to let out what you've been keeping in. Glad you got one.

2:58 pm

uusue2

my sister died in January 2001, kap, and she lived in New Hampshire - the ground then is too frozen to dig graves so she wasn't buried until June - it was like starting the grieving process all over again. Not fun.

2:59 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Parents- it's been a while though. Nephew. My good friend lost both parents within 2 weeks of each other in January ...

2:59 pm

uusue2

3:01 pm

Kaplan the Magne

And they're only spent a week or two searching- instead of 6 months?

3:01 pm

SeaSpray

I am thinking things in Salem are about to change lol

3:01 pm

3:03 pm

SeaSpray

Maggie and Daniel are 2 characters on Days of our Lives

3:03 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Excuse me- typo. As in Maggie- Daniel's biological mother?

3:04 pm

uusue2

ah. Fortunately I don't have to ask what Days of our Lives is although I don't think I've ever watched it.

3:06 pm

Uneaixoise

my grandmother was so into "As the World Turns," she would send birthday cards to the characters! LOL

3:06 pm

Kaplan the Magne

See, Daniel found out a long time ago that he was Melanie's real father, and now apparently Maggie is going to be her real grandmother. Which makes her future step grandfather her ex-father-in-law. Wait. Her biological mother had also been married to her ex-father-in-law/future step grandfather, if you follow me

3:06 pm

Uneaixoise

oh, kap, I was a student in France the summer of Sergeant Pepper -- the memories!!!!!!!!!!!

3:15 pm

Kaplan the Magne

There will never be anything like "the summer of Sgt. Pepper" again- too many people listen to too much crappy music from too many sources. It was fun to share major cultural events with one's peers...

3:15 pm

We only got about 5 inches here, but central and western Mass got buried.

7:54 pm

We were lucky, we only lost power for about 4.5 hours and that was in the middle of the night.

7:55 pm

MollyL

Oh good. I wasn't sure where you were in Mass and I heard parts got clobbered.

7:56 pm

wht

Still, there were trees and power lines down on the streets on either side of us.

7:59 pm

wht

I could here branches cracking during the night. We only lost a large branch from a maple tree and a couple of branches from our lilacs.

7:59 pm

MollyL

Too early for snow.

Hello Eva! How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle.

8:15 pm

8:15 pm

no-never even heard of him until I tried giving my address to younger people

Heard Vermont didn't get as much snow as New York.

8:16 pm

Minveryork

I am well.Just finished filling 80 baggies for Halloween.

8:16 pm

Eva

no-only a few inches, and since our leaves were pretty much all gone it wasn't half as destructive

8:18 pm

Minveryork

I never realized leaves add a lot more weight to trees

8:19 pm

Eva

well they catch and hold the snow, which was a very wet one

8:19 pm

wht

It isn't the weight of the leaves, Min, so much as there is much more area for the snow to stick to. It is the snow that is heavy.

8:19 pm

Minveryork

My backyard and frontyard looks like a war zone now

8:19 pm

wht

Did you loose power, min?

8:19 pm

Minveryork

DUH! Stupid me. You gave a very logical answer wht.

8:20 pm

Minveryork

No, thank God. Didn't lose powerful which is why I am here. The power flickered off and on but it stayed on

8:21 pm

wht

But wet leaves can be pretty heavy by themselves. So it all adds up.

8:21 pm

Shirlockc

cosdem

amazing episode..

8:51 pm

Nef

oh, man! I'd be totally blind trying to fix something up close like that (I've actually sat on my glasses -more than once through the years!- and knocked out the lenses doing that. Luckily, DH can see without his glasses for close up stuff; but he can't see a darn thing farther than 3-4 feet without them. We complement each other in so many ways! :-)

8:51 pm

Shirlockc

no prob, i knew who you were talking about :)

8:52 pm

wht

Shirl, perhaps you and crossy should get together and cook up some pig.

8:52 pm

Nef

hi cos and shirl

8:52 pm

uusue2

And hi, cos!

8:53 pm

Shirlockc

8:54 pm

uusue2

so I gather, mrp (I looked back in the chog) -- 13Â½ is a tough age. I was that age when my dad was imprisoned in Hong Kong.
