Sprite - I put 'pomegranate images' into Yahoo search and then after those images pop up I refined the search to 'pomegranates in art' and a whole new set of images comes up. Oddly enough, it makes a HUGE difference whether you make pomegranate plural or not.

1:50 am

rbud

I found the pic in any places, but nothing *about* the pic. Here's one:
http://www.squidoo.com/fruit-folk
lore

1:50 am

rbud

*many, not any - sticky keyboard

1:51 am

rbud

can ALMOST read the sig in that one...

1:51 am

boatierra

Sprite â€“ So somewhere within the search 'pomegranates in art' I found the image I have in my profile. I think poms are so very lovely, decorative, sexy, and delicious. Good luck! :)

1:53 am

rbud

I can almost make out the signature, boat, in the one I found ... I want to say S**eann Y... not sure.

1:54 am

rbud

doesn't help much, lol

1:56 am

sprite

lol :D Well will try to help, but I think rbud is way ahead of my. My puter keeps rebooting. Have ruled out spyware, malware and software issues... so must be hardware. Argh.

1:56 am

How many words today please

1:56 am

Thanks for looking rbud :) Ya, the signature at the bottom of the pic is really difficult to make out. I'd love to know who made the picture. It really is lovely.

1:57 am

hi gran, only 78

1:57 am

Thanks

1:58 am

tineye.com is really neat, you can put images into it and it will give you all the places it can find that image on the net.

1:59 am

rbud

it's a tapestry, embroidery, something like that - might be very old, lots of samplers are hundreds of years old.

1:59 am

rbud

but yes, lovely! :)

2:02 am

That's so cool! I've occasionally thought of something like that, wishing I could put an image into the web and it could tell me where it came from and now Bingo! It can. Thanks!

That's so cool! I've occasionally thought of something like that, wishing I could put an image into the web and it could tell me where it came from and now Bingo! It can. Thanks!

Well, I'd like to know who the artist is because I like to post artist credit whenever I post anything.

2:05 am

rbud

You're welcome - it doesn't always come up with results, but I would say at least 95% or more of what I've put in was found. Mostly doesn't work if I try some section of something instead of a whole image.

7:10 am

westford

I could live at the Smithsonian

7:11 am

Uneaixoise

indeed!!

7:11 am

car.eeyore

I could easily live at the Natural History Museum! I have to say though, we were very disappointed with the American History Museum. They have made some changes and they are not for the better.

7:11 am

westford

oh that's too bad

7:12 am

car.eeyore

And I was awed by the WWII Memorial. Just gorgeous.

7:16 am

westford

I have a funny story..we lived in Annapolis in the late 70's and we made lots of trips into DC when people came to visit..one day our son who was 7 at the time seemed a little put off because his sister had a museum named after her..her name is Erin and he thought we were going to the Erin Space Museum

7:16 am

car.eeyore

LOL! That is so cute!

7:16 am

Uneaixoise

how cute! LOL

â€¢"Our evidence shows that hung for hanged is certainly not an error. Educated speakers and writers use it commonly and have for many years. . . . " Hanged is, however, more common than hung in writing. It is especially prevalent when an official execution is being described, but it is used in referring to other types of hanging as well. . . .

"The distinction between hanged and hung is not an especially useful one (although a few commentators claim otherwise). It is, however, a simple one and easy to remember. Therein lies its popularity. If you make a point of observing the distinction in your writing you will not thereby become a better writer, but you will spare yourself the annoyance of being corrected for having done something that is not wrong."

It's one of those things where you can use either but people will probably fight to the death for their particular preference.

8:53 am

Judi

Good to know, Haz. We actually have a TV show here in the states, entitled "Hung". It's about a male prostitute. Excellent show.

8:53 am

jmcnrick

but i still can't use it that way since i always her my mother say loan is a noun and lend is a verb

8:54 am

crosshair

as in :he lighted a smoke and dived into the pool"..drives me batty

8:54 am

hego

No matter how you say it, it can't be good. lol

8:54 am

Krysten

I guess the usage of hanged vs hung depends on the context. "She was hanged" certainly means something entirely different than "He was hung".

8:54 am

jmcnrick

what?!?! some how i have missed THAT show

8:54 am

jmcnrick

haha hego so true

8:54 am

westford

thanks haz but it seems better to say he was well hung than well hanged unless there was a rope around his neck

8:54 am

I'd side with your mother on the loan v lend, jmc.

They don't all have replaceable batteries, but neither do many other competitors. The good news is, there's in-store exchange support. If your battery fails within one year or you have our two-year protection plan, you can go into the store and get a replacement device. No waiting.

hi everyone

5:24 pm

you know how peri always asks for clues and then says "nm, I found it" Molly said we should have a 2 minute rule: Don't give a clue til 2 minutes after someone asks so they can find it on their own

5:25 pm

jmcnrick

haha by the time i ask i have been looking for a long time!

5:25 pm

5:28 pm

jmcnrick

i seldom have leftovers which is why i am not skinny

5:29 pm

Nef

my dtr's b'day was Oct. 13th; there is still a slice or 2 of left over cake in the frig from that!

5:29 pm

jmcnrick

blech a little old don't you think?

5:30 pm

Nef

I LIKE left overs so I can get 2-3 meals out of cooking once. Everybody else in this house seems to ignore them and that bugs me

5:31 pm

suefrad625

mine too nef, but I dont cook again until the left overs are gone, that is the rule

5:31 pm

Christini

I'm use to lots of variations on christine and will answer to most of them!

5:31 pm

Nef

I have no clue, jmc. I'm not that fond of sweets myself (but it was like the top of a wedding cake in size and all boxed up from a fancy bakery; she just had some on Monday for the first time

5:32 pm

jmcnrick

i am happy to eat leftovers -- my sister brings me hers

5:32 pm

jmcnrick

well i guess as long as there is no mold. . . .

5:32 pm

Nef

nice sister, jmc!

5:32 pm

jmcnrick

that is her helping me through the no kitchen stuff

5:33 pm

Nef

That's a good idea Christini. I do that too

5:33 pm

jmcnrick

and she is a great cook

5:33 pm

jmcnrick

(except for fried okra--mine is much much better)

5:33 pm

Nef

how far away does she live, jmc?

5:34 pm

jmcnrick

over the hill about a mile

5:34 pm

Nef

(my sister that's a good cook is about 1000 miles away in Montana

5:35 pm

suefrad625

my brother is the cook and he too lives in montana

5:35 pm

jmcnrick

well my other two sisters are more than 1000 miles away in Texas

5:35 pm

Nef

that would be nice to have someone that close in these circumstances. Maybe not in others, but considering the summer you've had....

5:35 pm

jmcnrick

i am a good cook when i have a kitchen

5:36 pm

jmcnrick

no i generally enjoy having her near by

5:36 pm

Nef

you have a brother in MT? What part? (I have 23 sisters and 3 brothers out there

5:36 pm

jmcnrick

sometimes she gets a little needy but don't we all?

5:36 pm

jmcnrick

23 sisters?!?!?!?!

5:36 pm

Nef

so true

5:36 pm

suefrad625

missoula, your sister

5:36 pm

jmcnrick

wow that is a large family

5:37 pm

Nef

WHOOPS! I meant 3!

5:37 pm

jmcnrick

whew!

5:38 pm

Nef

2 sister and 2 brothers are in Missoula; 1 brother and 1 sister are in Helena

5:40 pm

Nef

Actually, I have a hard time counting family. I have 2 full brothers & 2 full sisters; a half brother and sister, and the cousin I grew up with I also call my sister because I lived with her more than the others

5:40 pm

jmcnrick

i understand nef--my son has some cousins he call uncle because they were like brothers to my hubby

5:42 pm

Nef

my DH Aunty has a cousin that is DH's age; her parents were in their 40's when they had her

5:44 pm

jmcnrick

no these cousins were my hubby's cousins -- but now my son's uncles--go figure

5:44 pm

Nef

Last summer one of my nephews got married in Missoula and we were planning to go but then DH got sick. I had sort of planned a meet-up with lbd, Jilly and Harp; but then everything fell apart.

5:45 pm

jmcnrick

too bad nef may you could go this coming summer

5:45 pm

jmcnrick

i haven't seen harp in forty forevers

5:46 pm

Nef

yes; we've been talking about it (DH and I) and it's very possible we might do that; it just depends on if we're going to sell this house and move closer to our grandson this next year too

5:47 pm

Nef

she's on at different times, jmc. Not sure why everyone is changing when they're here these days...

5:48 pm

jmcnrick

where is the grandson?

glad she is still around--lives change so times change

5:49 pm

jmcnrick

when i was working and traveling i was on pretty much all the time

5:49 pm

jmcnrick

school is taking most of my time now

5:49 pm

Nef

35 miles across town; when DIL has problems it has taken up to 80 minutes to get there some days during rush hour

5:50 pm

jmcnrick

goodness! then moving does make sense if it is doable

5:51 pm

jmcnrick

but you just put in the ramps and things there

5:53 pm

Nef

we are talking about getting a dble. bungalow to be able to help more (and have help if we need it too) My kids grew up in a double bungalow with DH's 2 Auntys on one side and they loved having them there; we all loved the Aunts being that close and we got along fine. But when DH started falling down the stairs; we had to find someplace that would be more handicap accessible

5:54 pm

jmcnrick

that explains how the aunt ended up with you at the end

5:54 pm

Nef

the ramp is something that can be taken down and moved. It's heavy 2X4s; but it's in the garage and not permanently secured to the cement

5:54 pm

jmcnrick

then if you can find a dble bungalow (i am guessing that translates to a semidetached or a duplex) . . . .

5:55 pm

Nef

yes; DH was raised by his grandmother, his mom (who was in a wheelchair from when he was 6 yrs old and these 2 Aunts

5:56 pm

jmcnrick

you have had a very close family i can see. . . that is nice

5:56 pm

jesdraggon

hi all

5:56 pm

jmcnrick

okay i am taking a break from babble with 32 left bbl

5:56 pm

jmcnrick

hi and bye jes

5:57 pm

Nef

it's a duplex all on one level. Our old place was too small and we'd remodeled the basement into a master suite

5:57 pm

Nef

hi jes

5:57 pm

jesdraggon

by jmc! have a good evening

5:58 pm

Nef

how are you tonight, jes?

5:59 pm

jesdraggon

not too shabby. slow day at work, so instead of making money, i spent a bunch of time paying bills. heh.

6:00 pm

Nef

I paid bills today too. Not exactly fun; but it is nice to have done it for the month

6:01 pm

jesdraggon

paying bills for work is...daunting.

6:02 pm

Nef

and expensive too I bet! Do you have a bookkeeper?

6:03 pm

uusue2

hi again, all!

6:03 pm

Nef

hi sue! How are you tonight?

6:03 pm

uusue2

I am good, nef.

6:04 pm

jesdraggon

sort of. we have an outside accountant for taxes and stuff. and a part time bookkeeper to do payroll and bills and stuff, but i do what i can when i have time.

6:04 pm

jesdraggon

if nothing else, it's good for knowing how much i'm spending on what.

6:05 pm

jesdraggon

I only paid a half dozen bills today, but spent over $10,000

6:06 pm

uusue2

<--- glad her bills aren't quite that big

6:06 pm

Nef

so true, jes. My sister (the vet) has a bookkeeper; but several years ago the one she had was stealing from her and gambled thousands of $$$ away. So now my sister takes a day twice a month or so and goes over the bills and money herself.

6:07 pm

Nef

WOW! New machines or remodelling?

6:09 pm

jesdraggon

Eesh. yeah, i'm not worried about that happening, my bookkeeper is my mom

6:10 pm

jesdraggon

no, that's mortgage, laboratory send-out fees, dog & cat food, new tabs for the truck, laboratory supplies (CBC machine reagents, analyzer rotors), and anesthetic drugs.

6:10 pm

jesdraggon

most of which is monthly/every other month recurring.

6:11 pm

jesdraggon

the bills for the new surgery table and new dental machine were last month, but just those two things themselves ran over $10,000, on top of the rest of the monthly expenses.

6:12 pm

Nef

YIKES!

6:14 pm

jesdraggon

and people wonder why medical bills are high.

6:14 pm

Nef

We once spoke about how my sister gets some of her equipment from hospitals (when they update their stuff; they often have stuff in a warehouse) Have you had any luck with that? What would a dental machine look like anyway?

6:15 pm

uusue2

dinner time, bbl

6:15 pm

jesdraggon

I have gotten quite a bit of stuff from the local hospital, actually. but the surgery table we use is different; it has a split surface that V's up so the animal lays in the trough, to prevent rolling or flopping over during surgery.

6:16 pm

jesdraggon

the dental stuff wouldn't be anything the hospital would have either. looks fairly similar to the drills and polishers they use on humans, but some special stuff for long/narrow heads like rabbits and rodents.

6:16 pm

Nef

That sounds cool! I know my sister doesn't have that!

6:16 pm

stidmama

*thinking a trough table would be handy for working on little kids, too...*

6:17 pm

stidmama

***CHOCLITS!***

6:17 pm

Nef

Wait! I have to think: dental appointments for rabbits and rodents? Whoa!

6:17 pm

Nef

hi stid! Love your picture!

6:17 pm

stidmama

went to GF Joe's today (gluten free store in Tumwater) and bought some GF/Vegan choclit bars from Theo Chocolates (Seattle).

6:17 pm

jesdraggon

rabbits have a really high incidence of dental issues, mostly because people don't feed them correctly.

6:18 pm

stidmama

Feed the critters choclits and don't worry about the dental bills? *wicked mama look*

6:18 pm

jesdraggon

no, you'll just end up with bills for emergency vomiting and diarrhea instead :P

6:18 pm

stidmama

*nibbling daintily on fingernails to avoid temptation*

6:19 pm

stidmama

icky. *keeps choclits for self*

6:19 pm

bichon

re 6?

6:19 pm

Nef

okay. I have a nurse friend who had a pet rabbit. She was fussy about it's diet; but the darn thing would also eat away on her sheetrock!

6:20 pm

stidmama

re + black solid fuel for locomotives

6:20 pm

jesdraggon

yeah, they'll do that. the problem is that people feed them pellets and seeds and soft veggies, and they need grass and hay and leafy greens--high fiber stuff--to grind their teeth down.

6:20 pm

bichon

tyvm stid

6:20 pm

Nef

re + 4 letter word in grid for making heat or electricity

6:20 pm

stidmama

there were train tracks in Virginia that still had that solid fuel lying around, we used to pick up some and bring it home for the fireplace sometimes (never enough to overheat the cast iron "Franklin" stove)

6:21 pm

jesdraggon

the soft stuff (and yes, carrots are considered soft!) is crushed instead of ground, and doesn't wear the teeth down right, plus puts a lot of pressure out the roots.

6:21 pm

stidmama

well, it's getting dark -- I was napping until the excedrin took over, just a headache today not a migraine. Want to get supper started, and organize a few things tonight. I think there's a sofa somewhere in the living room.

6:22 pm

jesdraggon

have fun with supper, stid, and don't eat all the chocolate today, save some for tomorrow :)

6:22 pm

Nef

interesting,jes. I never understood why she was so fussy about the rabbit diet before

6:22 pm

stidmama

when we had bunnies we gave them pellets, and hay, and blackberry leaves (they loved those) and carrot tops.

6:23 pm

jesdraggon

yeah, the carrot tops are lots better for them than the carrots themselves :)

6:23 pm

stidmama

good advice, Dr. Jes! :-D

Have a lovely evening, all -- will be back later to finish the grid maybe, it's nice and small for a change. *poof*

6:23 pm

Nef

stid, take care of yourself. quit with the headaches, you hear?!!

6:24 pm

stidmama

yes ma'am, Nef ma'am

*repoof*

6:24 pm

Nef

niters, stid. :-)

6:26 pm

Nef

21 words left and my son just called to ask me to go pick up the grandson in a bit. I don't think I'll get this grid done; but so far I haven't had a list (maybe that might help)

what happened to Lickey list?

8:09 pm

lil*monkey

It says domain is expired

8:10 pm

uusue2

ah, mrp is moving; maybe she doesn't know how to renew it (or that it expired)

8:10 pm

lil*monkey

I think "boopie" should be a word

8:10 pm

uusue2

it's a paid site

8:10 pm

jesdraggon

hi all

8:10 pm

lil*monkey

So we have to pay to get Lickety list now?

8:11 pm

lil*monkey

oh wait, sorry , usue I didn't see your first answer about mr p

8:11 pm

uusue2

no, mrp or lickety will have to pay to renew the web site to get the list back up

8:11 pm

lil*monkey

OK got it

8:11 pm

jesdraggon

no, lil, it means that someone needs to pay to register the domain and keep the site up, not that you ahve to pay mrp to ...n'mind, sue beat me to it

8:12 pm

lil*monkey

thanks anyway jesd :)

8:12 pm

uusue2

so lickety was providing it to us for free, but it was costing him money

8:12 pm

lil*monkey

So what is going on?

8:13 pm

uusue2

a lot, monkey, mrp has some info in her profile

8:14 pm

herinfernallady

Mr Pres Profile is blank. Please respect her and her family and contact her on FB> I don't mean this as a bitchy rant either. I mean this as a mumma bear protecting her cub.

8:15 pm

uusue2

ah, I didn't know she'd blanked it out, herin, thanks

8:15 pm

jesdraggon

It kinda sucks for us not to have the clues, but i think they've got enough going on that I can't really begrudge them the money to renew a domain for a game, you know?

8:15 pm

herinfernallady

She has. busy time at the moment for them and it is best not to gossip here

8:16 pm

uusue2

you are absolutely right, herin. wish I could be there to help them out...

8:16 pm

littlebit

monkey!!!

8:16 pm

littlebit

hey herin!

8:16 pm

boatierra

Ya, I'm thinking both mrp and lickety have way more important things on their minds than maintaining this most generous gaming site for us.

8:16 pm

lil*monkey

There's no gossip going on here, I merely asked what's going on with the websit expiring

8:16 pm

uusue2

hi, littlebit!

8:16 pm

LeslieAnn

well lickety doesn't get paid for his help like dr. g gets paid for babble

8:16 pm

littlebit

hey uusue!!

8:17 pm

herinfernallady

Monkey we have no free domains here :( So if the page has expired then it is because it wasn't maintained with $$$ and they are very very busy.

8:18 pm

herinfernallady

Sorry I am just a wee bit protective of Mr Pres

8:18 pm

boatierra

* I meant Babble Expert, not Babble itself.

8:19 pm

herinfernallady

I knew what you meant Boat

8:20 pm

uusue2

do you live anywhere near her, herin? (I know Australia is about as big as the US, so chances are small; was just curious - would be nice if some babblers were near her to give her a hug from all of us now and then)

8:21 pm

boatierra

Oh I was just saying it in general. I realized my previous statement didn't specify which site.

8:22 pm

herinfernallady

I live one state over. You can reach her on FB.

8:24 pm

herinfernallady

Monkey BUTT I sent you a FB message

8:56 pm

I am tired. Debating on whether or not to do a story.

8:56 pm

herinfernallady

What you do is if the packet says 1 in on 1000 watt put it on 1 min and listen to the sound of lots of popping.When the popping starts to slow down stop the microwave and shake the bag. If you want continue popping the corn but guarenteed you will have just a few in the bag

8:56 pm

uusue2

<--- has a 50-lb bag of popcorn in her kitchen
